Time travel has always been a popular subject for science fiction writers. From H G Wells', The Time Machine, to Looper and Minority Report, the concept of being able to alter the future by making a small change in the past is a familiar theme.
Wouldn't it be great if you could go back and change a mistake you made in your earlier life, or see how your parents met or visit a historic moment in time? But, you need to be careful as travelling to the past brings the problem of a temporal paradox. Take Back to the Future, as an example. Marty travels back in time and, in one scene, prevents his parents from meeting. And if they don't meet, how can he exist to go back in time?
Another excellent film which covers a similar topic, is The Butterfly Effect. The central character has the ability to travel back in time to inhabit the body of his younger self, and make changes which alter the future. But, with unintended consequences.
Travelling to the past would seem to be the easier concept to visualise, as recreating a historic scene can be based on archive photos or films. But, creating a futuristic city means trying to imagine or envisage what the world of tomorrow might look like and, to some extent, predict the future.
It's interesting to see how some films have got this right, and where others have not been so successful.
Back to the Future was based in 1985 and took us 30 years into the future to 2015. There were flying cars, flat screen voice-operated televisions, self-drying clothing and hoverboards. Total Recall and I Robot both predicted automated cars, which are being trialled at the present.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey gave us the first example of a tablet computer. There's a scene in the 1968 classic, in which a pair of astronauts can be seen using tablet computers while eating breakfast. The iPad debuted in 2010, just 9 years after the setting of A Space Odyssey.
Everyone these days has a smartphone which, to some extent, was predicted in the original Star Trek series with Captain Kirk's use of the communicator; "Beam me up, Scotty" (the exact phrase was never actually spoken in any Star Trek television episode or film).
The size will be determined by what's convenient to hold, not by the technology inside.
The box will have a high-res colour screen, a microphone, a plug for a headset or earphones, a camera lens, wireless connectivity, cellphone and beeper functions, a television and radio receiver, a digital recorder, and it will have enough processing power and memory to function as a desktop system.
So, no flying cars, no time travel. But, the ability to change the future is possible, certainly within Companies House.
Our transformation programme has started, but we need your help to tell us what you would like us to do. Our short survey will only take 10 minutes. Have your say on how you would like to see us evolve, what can we improve, what services would you like us to offer?
By completing the survey, you have the opportunity to enter a draw to win a iPad Pro (as predicted in 2001; A Space Odyssey).
Help us boldly go where no survey has been before.

MICHAEL MONROE Releases New Single, Video For "Derelict Palace"
New Album I Live Too Fast To Die Young Out Now
Michael Monroe has released his video for the majestically dark single, "Derelict Palace", taken from the album, I Live Too Fast To Die Young, out now via Silver Lining Music.
""Derelict Palace" is about watching someone that you care about disappear into drug addiction," guitarist Rich Jones explains. Musically, the track takes on a melodic, somber tone. "I had been listening to a lot of post-punk when I wrote it - ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, PSYCHEDELIC FURS, THE CHURCH - and I wanted to see if we could push the band in that kind of musical direction" adds Jones.
The single is aptly accompanied with an eerie, yet mesmerizing, video showing the band performing in a desolate, gothic, manor house, including scenes of Monroe flicking a switchblade knife gifted to him recently in Milan by none other than Alice Cooper himself.
Michael Monroe adds, "the song was written about people who get a little too into drugs and before you know it, they kind of disappear from all of the people and things that they used to love. Of course, that's sad, but that said, there's something cool about being an outcast and not fitting in… This is one of my favorite songs off the I Live Too Fast To Die Young album and it adds a nice new dimension to my band's sound and style. Plus, we found the perfect place to film the video for it!"
Watch the Video for "Derelict Palace" on KNAC.COM HERE
At a time when it seems increasingly hard to remain positive, I Live Too Fast To Die Young encompasses eleven lean, mean, raw slices of rock 'n' roll joy. Even when the key goes minor, Monroe's music always seems to retain at the very least a hopeful edge, something he ascribes to a specific Finnish quality.
"Finnish people are experts in melancholia," Monroe affirms, "and a lot of that melancholia - certain chords and sounds, even though they're minor keys - is not necessarily sad. It's just kind of a melancholic feeling that feels good in the end."
Michael Monroe and gang will be joining BLACK STAR RIDERS on their 2023 UK tour along with MOTORHEAD's PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS. The tour will kick-off on February 13 at Nottingham's Rock City and conclude at London's 02 Shepherds Bush Empire on February 26.

Researching Goodwin's Analysis
We have been researching into what Goodwin's Analysis is and will now apply this to professional music videos. We have decided to present the analysis on our blog for future reference:
1. Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics (e.g. stage performance in metal video, dance routine for boy/girl band)
There are many different types of genres that can feature in music videos. I have been looking into the R&B genre to understand this further. It appears the characteristics of R&B are representation material possessions, women in minimal clothing, fashion, party/club locations and performance, such as miming to the camera and dancing.
2. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting)
In almost all music videos it is important that the song relates back to the video. In the video Homecoming by Kanye West there is a strong relationship between these. The song is about his hometown Chicago and features Kanye in the city with images of Chicago appearing frequently during the video.
3. There is a relationship between music and visuals (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting)
The sound of the song and the effect it has on the listener should definitely be reflected in music videos. For instance, a fast paced song should have a fast cutting rate and a slower song should have the opposite. The video for Ignorance by Paramore is very fast paced but is slower in some sections. Therefore slow shot cuts are used during the verses of the song but as the song reaches the chorus there is frequent use of cuts that increase greatly to reflect the speed of that section of the song.
4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style)
From viewing many professional music videos it seems the use of close ups are an important element. The music video Rabbit Heart by Florence & The Machine has a great amount of close-ups to show off the artist. In fact the first shot of the video is a close up of Florence.
5. There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body
This engages the audience as we can feel a part of what the artist is seeing. Kanye West's video Homecoming focuses mainly on Kanye looking around his town and remembering his childhood which reflects in point of view shots.
6. There is often intertextual reference (to films, TV programmes, other music videos etc)
This is a common feature of music videos but not all videos include obvious ones. The video Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5, shows obvious connection to the artist Mick Jagger in the song title.

Would Manchester City Be Satisfied With Drawing Against Leicester City?
Manchester City failed to overtake Leicester City in the Barclays Premier League table, as they played out a goalless draw at the King Power Stadium yesterday. The visitors went into the game with the possibility of taking second spot behind leaders Arsenal, but had to settle for a point in the end. City have finished with 36 points – 3 points behind the Gunners and Foxes, who hold the first and second positions respectively – at the end of the first leg of Premier League fixtures. In hindsight, was it a point gained or two points dropped for Manuel Pellegrini's side?
The nature of the game was such that it is hard to say if Leicester held the Cityzens, or the other way around. Though the final scoreline was 0-0, it was an entertaining game nonetheless. City started brightly, just as they did against Arsenal before Christmas, and carved out a handful of chances during the first half. Raheem Sterling, playing alongside Sergio Aguero upfront, made intelligent runs behind the Leicester defence and proved a menace to Kasper Schmeichel's goal. As a team, though, City did not make the most of those moments, and rarely came close to breaching the Leicester goalkeeper.
Defensively, City did well to keep Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, who between them have scored 28 of their team's 37 league goals, under leash and the duo never got into the game at any stage. Pellegrini's men also managed to keep a cleansheet for the first time without their inspirational skipper in Vincent Kompany, who is likely to be out for another month due to the recurrence of the calf injury. Yes, there were a few moments when City's rearguard was not composed enough and committed mistakes that, on another day, could have proven fatal, like Eliaquim Mangala's ridiculous give-away against the Gunners did last Monday night. Fernandinho too, was lucky to get away with a mistake towards the end of the first half, with Vardy failing to capitalize on the error. Overall, though, City were defensively good against a team that has scored the same number of goals (37, the joint-highest) as they have so far in the league this season.
If you go by the statistics, merely, of yesterday's game, City were the superior of the two sides. They created more chances, 15 to Leicester's 8, registered more shots, 21 to 11, and enjoyed a lot more possession than the Foxes: 61% to 39%. But, as aforementioned, they did not put the Leicester defence and their goalkeeper under sustained and enough pressure. One of the reasons for that was the way the home side setup. They were happy to let City have the ball, but remained well organized in a narrow 4-3-3 formation. Because Leicester were so narrow, City were forced out wide on many occasions, resulting in them putting in a whopping 39 crosses compared to home side's 17. Bacary Sagna and Aleksandar Kolarov played critical roles in giving City width, delivering incisive crosses more often than not and creating 5 chances from their combined 12 crossing attempts.
In an attacking sense, City's key players failed to turn up. The likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Yaya Toure and David Silva had ordinary games by their lofty standards, and did not quite give City the cutting edge they needed against a vehement Leicester side. Aguero too, on his return to the starting lineup, looked rusty and was not up to scratch, failing to keep any of his five attempts on target. The Argentine was felled by Gokhan Inler in the 18-yard box in the second half, and Aguero's appeal for a penalty was not unreasonable. But referee Craig Pawson and his assistants were not too interested in the claim. Replays clearly showed Inler making contact with Aguero and tripping him up, without getting a touch on the ball. Pellegrini's substitutions, Wilfried Bony, Jesus Navas and Kelechi Iheanacho, did not improve City's attacking threat even in the slightest.
The marquee aspect of City's 0-0 draw against Leicester was the way they blunted the dynamic Vardy and Mahrez duo, and thereby limiting the home side's attacking threat. However, going forward, City were not even half as incisive as against Sunderland, contending with the fact that the Foxes are a much better defensive side, as well, than the Black Cats. Considering all the factors from yesterday's game, City should see it as a point gained and continue improving on their performances away from home.

I made two apple desserts this week.
The first one is an apple cake that I first saw on Monique's La Table De Nana - Dorie's Apple Cake and then followed Monique's link over to Linda's How to cook A Wolf - Marie-Helene's Apple Cake.
This apple cake is a very moist cake. More like a Coffee Cake. Wonderful for breakfast with a cup of good coffee.
The second is a tried and true recipe that I've made often - an Apple Tart with a Cream Cheese Filling.
The Apple Tart is more of a dessert.
I'm partial to cream cheese fillings.

FILLING: In a food processor process the cream cheese until smooth.

I have tried Marie Helen'e cake before and love it for breakfast. As for the cake with the creamed cheese it is a keeper.
What a lovely winter dessert. We have a good selection of apples in the market right now so apple desserts are often on the menu. Your tart with cream cheese filling looks delicious.
I must be going crazy...I thought I left a comment. Must be this crazy IPad!
Your apple cake looks amazing Ann...beautiful pics! That tart I calling my name as well...looks scrumptious!
Looks great! I've got a ton of apples right now, can't wait to try this.


Condolences to Paul and family from Rick Ogren.
Lori, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lori, I am deeply saddened to learn of Mark's passing. The two of you were people that I encountered often during my time working in the Lab at Froederdt South. Kenosha Medical Center campus. You are in my thoughts and prayers.


Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, Hon. Phillip Paulwell, has announced that the bauxite and alumina company, Alpart, in Nain, St. Elizabeth, should resume operations in the first quarter of 2016, following completion of the refinery's new energy infrastructure.
The re-opening will come some seven years after production ceased at the plant, due to a decline in the global bauxite industry.
Mr. Paulwell noted, however, that the owner of the plant, UC Rusal, has indicated that while it is forging ahead with the implementation of its energy solutions, if there is overall market improvement, it would "immediately move to open the plant".
The Minister was making his contribution to the 2013/14 Budget Debate in the House of Representatives on April 24.
UC Rusal has presented a plan for an energy solution, which involves a shift from coal to gas, as their main energy source.
"They have decided to proceed with a natural gas solution, and have entered into an agreement with the PACE Group for infrastructure, and with British Petroleum for the supply of gas, which will be delivered as compressed gas," the Minister explained.
Meanwhile, he informed that the Government has now reached an agreement with UC Rusal on the purchase price for the sale of its seven per cent interest share in WINDALCo. The price has been approved by Cabinet.
"The bauxite alumina sector is very important to us as a nation, not only for the revenue that it can bring, but also in light of the fact that so many Jamaican communities and workers depend on the industry for their survival," the Minister told the House.


Hunting is not a proper employment for a thinking man.
And always ere he mounted, kiss'd his horse.
Biography, like big game hunting, is one of the recognized forms of sport, and it is [as] unfair as only sport can be.

An absentee ballot is the printed ballot marked by an absent voter, sealed in a special envelope, and returned to election officials, usually in person or through the mail.
Each election cycle presents a different set of parameters for ballot creation and for the size and weight of the return mailpiece. As a result, many voters do not know the correct amount of postage required to return their ballots by mail. Election officials must consult with a Postal Service Business Mail Entry manager, mailpiece design analyst, or election/political mail coordinator to determine the proper postage required for mailing ballots to voters and for voters mailing ballots back to election officials.
Election officials are required to indicate in a prominent location the proper amount of First-Class Mail postage that must be applied to balloting materials for any election, whether sent in hard copy or electronic formats. An exception may apply in certain circumstances for balloting materials for military and overseas voters or where postage is prepaid. See Publication 631, Official Election Mail — Graphic Guidelines and Logos to learn more about the postage marking requirements.
Absentee and Early Voting
As reported by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), most states have a method for eligible voters to cast ballots before Election Day, either during the early voting period or by requesting an absentee ballot. In 11 states, early voting is not available, and in 17 states, a reason is required to request an absentee ballot.
States typically offer three ways for voters to cast a ballot before Election Day:
1. Early Voting. In 39 states and the District of Columbia, any qualified voter may cast a ballot in person during a designated period before Election Day. No excuse or justification is required.
2. Absentee Voting. All states will mail an absentee ballot to qualified voters who request one. The voter may return the ballot by mail or in person. In 17 states, a reason is required, while 33 states and the District of Columbia permit any qualified voter to vote absentee without offering a justification.
3. Mail Voting. In all-mail election states, a ballot is automatically mailed to every eligible voter (no request or application is necessary). In-person voting sites may also be available. Five states mail ballots to all eligible voters for every election. Other states may provide this option for some types of elections.
For more information, visit ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/absentee-and-early-voting.aspx.
Vote-By-Mail
According to the NCSL, at least 21 states have provisions allowing certain elections to be conducted entirely by mail. For these elections, all registered voters receive a ballot in the mail. Typically, the voter marks the ballot, puts it in a secrecy envelope or sleeve, places it into a separate mailing envelope, signs an affidavit on the exterior of the mailing envelope, and returns the package via mail or by dropping it off.
Ballots are mailed in advance of Election Day so voters have an "election period" instead of a single day to vote. All-mail elections, known as Vote-By-Mail elections can be seen as absentee voting for everyone.
Four of the 22 states — Oregon (2000), Washington (2011), Colorado (2013), and Hawaii (2019) — hold Vote-By-Mail elections. Voters return marked ballots by mail, at a drop-off location, and in some cases vote in person at voter centers.
Utah permits individual counties to determine if they would like to conduct all-mail elections or not, and all counties are expected to do so in 2020. In California, some counties are currently permitted to conduct all-mail elections. After 2020, the option will be available to all counties in the state. Other states permit all-mail elections in certain circumstances, such as for special districts, municipal elections, when candidates run unopposed, or at the discretion of the county clerk.
Generally, states begin providing Vote-By-Mail elections only in certain circumstances, and then add additional opportunities as citizens become familiar with procedures. For more information, visit ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-mail-elections.aspx.
Military — APO/FPO/DPO
Even in times of war, the Postal Service has delivered the most fundamental symbol of democracy — a ballot. As the election season progresses, emphasize the following key messages:
n The Postal Service is honored to provide the brave men and women serving abroad in the military with the opportunity to vote.
n Any American voter living overseas can mail his or her completed ballot back to the United States free of charge at the nearest American embassy, consulate, or Diplomatic Post Office (DPO). If the voter has authorized access to a military base, he or she can mail a ballot free of charge at the nearest Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO).
n For the 2020 general election, special procedures for APO/FPO/DPO absentee ballots are in effect between September 1 and November 30. During this time, the Postal Service will provide special handling for dispatch via the International Service Centers (ISCs).
n The Postal Service recommends that voters return ballots by these mailing dates (see fvap.gov/eo/overview).
Military — APO/FPO/DPO Absentee Ballots
The Postal Service and the Military Postal Service collaborate to provide special handling of absentee ballots to overseas military personnel. The Postal Service is committed to ensuring that everyone who votes by mail experiences an efficient process.
Here is a summary of special procedures for APO/FPO/DPO absentee ballots:
n Election officials must mail absentee ballots at least 45 days before the November 3 election.
n All military absentee ballots mailed by election officials from September 1 through November 30 will be subject to special handling procedures.
n Local election offices must segregate military absentee ballots to the Chicago ISC and the Miami ISC gateways. At ISCs, absentee ballots receive special handling, including accelerated sortation, special tray identification, and priority transportation.
n APO/FPO absentee ballots will be sent from local Post Office™ locations to the nearest Processing and Distribution Center for further handling. Postal Service employees may identify trays or containers of absentee ballot mail using Tag 191, Domestic and International Ballots, and present them to the Post Office facility.
Military — APO/FPO/DPO Returning Absentee Ballots
Military personnel with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can return absentee ballots via Priority Mail Express® using Label 11-DOD, DOD Express Mail Label Absentee Ballot. The label includes "Waiver of Signature" and "Guaranteed by End of Day" endorsements, so ballots can be delivered the day they arrive at the destination Post Office.
Label 11-DOD
Familiarize yourself with the following operational guidelines for Label 11-DOD:
n The Military Postal Service distributes Label 11-DOD overseas.
n The Priority Mail Express ballot label is only for absentee ballots mailed from Military Post Office (MPO) facilities overseas.
n Voters may use the label on any size ballot envelope and must always affix it in the upper right corner.
n Voters keep part of the label to use the tracking number to track their ballots.
n At ISCs, absentee ballots receive special handling including accelerated sortation, special tray identification, and priority transportation.
n Overseas U.S. military and civilian citizens must return their absentee ballots via APO/FPO/DPO locations.
n The ballots arrive by international transportation at one of the Postal Service gateway offices for Customs clearance and initial processing at select designated offices.
n At these facilities, the mail is processed by postal automation equipment in an initial domestic primary sort for distribution throughout the United States.
Service Type Identifiers and How They Improve Mailpiece Visibility
The Postal Service provides customized Service Type Identifiers (STIDs) specifically for ballots to improve ballot mail visibility. These STIDs have proven instrumental in identifying and tracking ballots on hand and in the mailstream. In addition, STIDs have increased the visibility of outbound/returning ballot mail within the automation environment as well as passive identification and tracking of ballot mail.
STID processing leverages Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb®) scan data that is available via Informed Visibility® (IV®) reports. To learn more about ballot STIDs, see postalpro.usps.com/mailing/service-type-identifiers.
Election and Political Mail Map
The interactive Election and Political Mail map provides election officials with contact information for election and political mail coordinators. The interactive map includes Business Mail Entry Unit addresses and phone numbers, and a ZIP Code™ lookup feature to streamline the resource identification process. To view the Election and Political Mail map, see about.usps.com/gov-services/election-mail.
Tag 191
Tag 191, Domestic and International Ballots, is a green container tag used by election officials to identify trays and sacks of ballot mail destined for either domestic or international addresses. The tag (shown left) provides greater visibility to ballot mail during Postal Service handling. Election officials can order Tag 191 online at usps.com/electionmail and have it mailed directly to local election officials.
Business Reply Mail and Qualified Business Reply Mail
Business Reply Mail® (BRM) and Qualified Business Reply Mail™ (QBRM™) are First-Class Mail services that enable election officials to pay the return postage (including a per-piece fee) for the ballots returned to election offices. BRM or QBRM Election Mail can be distributed and returned to election officials in any ZIP Code.
The mailpieces election mail officials distribute must conform to a specific format, including use of a unique ZIP+4® code assigned by the Postal Service. Proofs for QBRM must be approved by the Postal Service and bear an IMb. QBRM applies only to automation-compatible cards and letter-size mail weighing up to and including 2 ounces. For more information on BRM and QBRM, see Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 505.1.1 and 1.6 as well as Quick Service Guide 505 at pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/dmmtoc.pdf.
Informed Delivery is a secure, free feature that provides eligible residential consumers with a digital preview of their incoming mail and packages. Users can view grayscale images of the exterior address side of automation-processed, letter-sized mailpieces via email, smartphone app, or an online dashboard. The Postal Service does not open mail or packages to scan the enclosed content as part of Informed Delivery service.
A digital preview of the exterior of Election Mail offers benefits to both election officials and voters. Election officials are able to increase voter interaction with their mail and generate faster response rates. On the other hand, voters have a more convenient and secure "vote at home" experience because they can see when their Election Mail will arrive.

Leah Kagasa, 21, reigns supreme as she takes the reins as new Miss Uganda.
Now that was exactly, well uhm so to speak, the same question on everyone's mind Saturday night at Kampala Serena Hotel's Victoria Mall. And the answer was soon got as Leah Kagasa beat all to the Miss Uganda 2016/17 beauty crown.
It was her poise, confidence and intelligence that landed her the coveted tiara on a colourful night.
The 21-year-old student of marketing, who hails from Kabarole in western Uganda, took the reins from Zahara Muhammad Nakiyaga.
Her closest challengers were 20-year-old Charlotte Kyohairwe (first runner-up) and Ritah Ricky Mutoni, 22, who finished as the second runner-up.
So now that she has secured the crown, Kagasa's first major assignment will be to represent Uganda at the Miss Wolrd competition due in December in the US.
If you missed the event, no sweat. We've got you covered with this array of selected pictures from the night . . .

Oh, it was also a night of, you guessed right, selfies . . .
A selfie a day, adds delight to a lady . . .

I have been a fan of flute based music, ever since I found my first Nigel Shaw album back in the 90's and ever since then the ride has been a magical one, now with this new release by Monica Williams, called Journey of Tears, that journey has become even more picturesque and exciting.
I have an absolute delight, whenever an artist uses the natural sounds of a thunderstorm within their music and Monica does just that on the opening piece entitled Raining Tears. The deep energy of this composition is only highlighted by the power of the storm in the background, and the never ceasing rain which falls like tears from the sky above. This is a passion packed offering to start with, and as such the performance is equally empowering and moving.
The magical ride continues with the bright and energetic song that we have arrived at now called, Conversations Within. The addition of Darin Mahoney on guitar was inspired and adds so much to what is already a truly fluent and exciting offering. Williams on flute excels and shines in her performance on this her debut solo album.
Guitar and flute once more combine on this next and somewhat deeper track called New Horizons. While there is a certain mournful quality about the overall construction of the piece, there is also a clever level of hope built into the composition, thus leaving the listener with perhaps a sense of hope, that on the far off reaches of a struggle, a new horizon will beckon.
The shortest offering on the album at just less than two and a half minutes long is called Unconditional Love. This is a quality of love that is so rare and so barely touched by many, but once done so, life is never the same again. In an amazingly imploring narrative Monica Williams sums up this condition with a breath taking performance on flute.
At the half way marker a rhythmic percussive beat draws us into the musical narration and the flute of the artist manifests a song that is so moving, yet also deeply fascinating and called On the Edge. I rate this to be the cleverest track off the release as Williams sets us up at the mid-way point of the album, with a composition that has an undeniable level of tension; it is as if we are literally walking on the edge of what maybe or may not!
Soothingly we can now caress a new offering called Finding Peace, it may feel that after the preceding track that we did in fact find the right portal to pass into, and peace has indeed be found. The sonic backdrop of swirling, but delicate and peace filled keyboards creates a perfect stage for the narration of that successful find, and the flute of Williams celebrates with a confidence in a performance that is simply stunning.
To be able to ride the winds of life, you have to be prepared to deal with the realities of one thing, Constant Change. We can hear a sumptuous and very rhythm based percussive beat here, enabling William's flute to relate the mood of the piece perfectly, the keyboards are perfect in their role of allowing the artist to allow her flute to sing loud and proud and with such fluency, on a track that is empowering in enabling us to all ride with the winds of constant change, rather than against them.
I nearly got lost in this next offering called Wandering; there is a certain meditative quality here that captured my senses and drew me far east and into foothills of Shambala. This would indeed be a perfect composition to meditate to and drew so many wondrous images of mountain side villages and snow tipped tors. The flute floats across the mists of some inner dimension in what is the most mystical, but attractive offering off the release.
We have arrived at the doorway of the penultimate track off the album, now I mentioned the great Nigel Shaw in my first paragraph, and the first sounds of the flute here really remind me of his work on Dartmoor Roundhouse back in the early part of this century. Williams on Love From A Distance has produced the same reflective and mournful haunting energies; I could listen to this one for hours, this is flute straight from the heart. I could stay in this dimension for days, but sadly we have come to the end of our voyage with the artist, but she has one more performance for us before we must leave and it is simply gorgeous, it is called The Great Beyond. This is one of those arrangements that I would call a grandstand piece, it is the longest offering on the album at over eight minutes and if it had lasted an hour I wouldn't have minded. The wordless vocals of Alexia Nodromia are utterly breath taking and some of the best I have heard for ages while the guitar and Williams flute, depict the sheer vastness of an uncharted realm called, The Great Beyond.
Very recently, I was watching a movie on my computer while the subtitles attracted my focus–there was no dialogue and I felt intrigued what they want to tell. The phrase read: 'Suspense Music.' I knew that music has the power to create a situation or arouse various kinds of moods in the listener's mind, but that pinpointing by the subtitles made me think how easily discernible it is–the effect of music. Without appropriate music, a movie would appear totally bland, no?


Every so often, we feature common small business mistakes, so you can learn from them.
Lots of small business make a mistake in setting and keeping their business hours.
Here's an example from a retail business, open only 11 hours per week. But hey, they do say you can call and they'll come open up. This may be more common in small towns, where we're more informal. It's still a mistake. How many potential customers are you turning away?
Two years ago, I wrote about a couple of other local business, one with inconsistent hours that were always changing and one that wasn't always open when it said it would be.
The tips on setting business hours that I offered in 2007 are just as good today.
Think about your target customers when you set your hours. Ask them when they want you to be open.
Set an incredibly easy to understand schedule.
Publicize your business hours in all the media you use.
Be open when you say you will. Open on time, and don't close early.
I know, emergencies will occur, but do your best!
This has really annoyed me lately. I really want to shop local, but I guess I've been conditioned by box store accessibility. Seemingly random closures really hurt business.
Have you seen this "store hours" poster I posted to TwitPic a couple weeks ago?
Marc, that is a excellent point. Inconvenient hours hurt our efforts at shop local.
Marc, that is an oldie but a goodie! And it's a perfect companion to this post. Thanks!
As you know, I focus on rural tourism related businesses. In August I ran a post tackling this question for tourism at http://ruraltourismmarketing.com/2009/08/setting-retail-hours-in-tourism-towns/. I recently got a request from two local first organizations for a more general post for ALL small town businesses. You've saved me the effort. I'll pass on this post!
Great article, Joanne! Thanks for sharing it. You know we are big fans of your stuff around here.


A non-trivial task, based on this work on it was particularly interesting. Choosing the right solutions for projects in shopping centers are always a special approach.
We have identified the colors, add accents of blue and gold, fresh and juicy. Glass, gold, concrete, blue lether and a gray tinted oak are components of our project.
The space itself was divided into several zones, like elongated shape room to turn into the different spaces. Active partition of seating height than stressed the effect more. Meeting you in the restaurant, our hero Billy Boy, a huge golden rhino.

North Miami launches EcoBin recycling program
Source: Francis I.,(2019, November 22). South Florida Media Network, North Miami launches EcoBin recycling program. Retrieved from: http://sfmn.fiu.edu/north-miami-launches-ecobin-recycling-program/
"North Miami is working toward a green future with new high-tech recycling bins decked out with solar panels, LED lighting and space for advertising.
The GoGreen-EcoBins, part of a program that launched Nov. 12, were provided without cost to the city. Instead, the company makes money via sponsorships.
"They try to encourage recycling not just from city hall or the businesses, but also from the residents," said Tanya Wilson, North Miami's director of community planning and development. "It's pretty state of the art, it's eye-catching. When you see it you're going to notice it there."
The difference between EcoBins and regular recycling containers is the design, which uses sustainable materials and features advertising space. The ads can be used by the city or local charities free of charge or by businesses that sponsor the bins. The bins also have solar panels on top that power LED lighting at night and are made out of recyclable stainless steel.
Guy Strempack, the founder of GoGreen, said the company reaches out to local businesses, such as restaurants and realtors, and asks whether they would like to sponsor a bin. He said the price has yet to be set in North Miami, as it varies based on the local market.
"Without these local businesses getting involved and saying, 'Hey I'm going to choose you over … spending my budget on YouTube or Instagram,' that says something, and it makes us feel proud, and it makes them feel proud," he said.
The recycling business, as a whole, however, has hit some snags following the so-called China Ban. For over 25 years, China had taken nearly half the world's recyclables and processed them, but in early 2018 it banned the importation of any recycling, claiming its processing system had been overwhelmed.
Many countries that shipped their trash to China did not have enough processing plants of their own, including the United States. This has led to more plastic ending up in landfills and incinerators rather than being recycled, even when people try to recycle correctly.
"We're trying to figure out where to send recyclables or how we build that infrastructure here in the U.S.," said Strempack.
He said his company has partnered with Lady Green, a Miami-based recycling company, to make sure items that come into the EcoBins are actually processed.
Michelle Salas, the founder and president, said the problem with the current system is that much of what is being put into cans is contaminated. For example, pizza boxes that have grease on them cannot be recycled as the oil cannot be processed.
Lady Green's solution for this, she said, is sorting the recycling and only sending uncontaminated materials to be processed at a waste management facility here in Miami.
Despite the China Ban, Salas said there is still a market for uncontaminated recycling. She said Colombia has recently started accepting recyclables after losing Venezuela's business due to that country's current political instability.
"There is still a percentage that's significant that is being recycled," said Salas.
Besides recycling, Strempack said one of the goals with the bins is to grab people's attention and hopefully get them to educate themselves on recycling.
"For us, I think it's about education," he said. "It's showing people something on the street where they can walk up and ask themselves questions and say 'well that's pretty cool, maybe I should look into solar lights in front of my house.'"
Wilson said the EcoBins program is part of a larger effort by North Miami to become a more resilient and sustainable city. But, she said, it really starts with educating residents.
"Those that are informed get involved, [others] don't. Not because they're not interested, I just don't think they have been educated enough to understand the urgency…to be a partner in the process," she said."

Reports say that the locals found the skeletons when they were cleaning the jungle. They informed the local councillor, who in turn informed the police.
As per local news channels, the police is yet to confirm whether these bodies are of pre-mature or aborted babies or newborn. Bodies had been found wrapped around plastic bags individually. The police have not yet been able to find any CCTV footage and it is believed that the area is protected by private security guards but according to Police the area where those bodies had been dumped are around 150 meters away from the location of those guards. The police has informed that the bodies were dumped within an area of 20 to 25 meters close to the wall of the compound.

In 2013, I had written a blog post – Can you get me this article please? where I had mentioned about the struggle for getting full text articles, especially if one is not attached to a library that subscribes to several journals. Anyone who keeps up with published literature, carries out research or writes for publication, will obviously read articles. And rightly so.
In five years, I believe that some libraries in India would have added more journals to their subscriptions. I am sure many have not added more. Some would have even cut down on their list.
Irrespective of the above, today I wonder how many in an institution, really know what journals their libraries subscribe to. Last year, I had a resident who told me that his thesis protocol was rejected because he had cited old literature. When I asked him whether he could not find any new literature on the topic, his answer was – "Those articles were not available free online"! And when I asked him whether he tried for any of them in his library, he looked sheepish.
While all these incidents repeatedly prove the need for more training in the field of "information usage / information literacy", the need for access to full text articles and more bibliographic databases is soaring.
In the last few months, I have been approached by several people for help. They wish to author systematic reviews and obviously need to search several databases. It is said, that for writing a Cochrane Review, one must at least search Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane – CENTRAL. Interestingly in India, EMBASE is available only in the corporate sector libraries / information centres. And unless one of the authors of a review has access to EMBASE through his / her institution, the groups is legally not supposed to search EMBASE.
So how will this review be complete then?
And then, systematic reviews in other health sciences areas require the use of some more databases like CINAHL, Psycinfo and many others. And once authors search all the necessary databases, the next hurdle is to get full text articles.
So what are people doing about this?
I too believe that research information should be available to all researchers. I believe that having to pay a hefty publication fee for getting an article published (and am speaking of legal open access journals and not predatory journals) is not the solution. There has to be a win win situation, where the author has an opportunity to get his/her research easily accessible, the publisher makes money to run the publication and the readers get access at affordable costs. Well, the last bit is what libraries always did – get readers access at affordable costs! And we need to ensure that this happens in India, in different ways!
All journals mandated for PG courses, and some more titles decided by experts in each field.
Who will pay for the access?
It would be difficult to answer this immediately. It needs a dialogue between Publishers / Aggregators / Agents and the Councils / Government. We need to come up with a right scheme and balance, where the Government pays a part of it, and all stakeholder institutions and individuals pay a part. I believe we have enough collective intelligence in the country to arrive at ideas to achieve this balance.
I am speaking in the context of health sciences. We have a "Union Catalog" which allows us to know the availability of a journal in any health sciences / science library in the country. This needs to be exploited correctly for all health professionals to reap the benefits of what is spent on health libraries.
Every student and professional should know how to use this.
Private practitioners and those not attached to institutions should have a facility to become members of their city-based libraries and avail of this facility – within established frameworks.
Who else – people of influence – would contribute to this big change.
This is indeed very timely discussion. Schooling of practitioners is also arranged by different pharmaceutical companies through CME programs. They also arrange for other modes of continuing education. Why should we not pitch them in? Please consider this.
Yes, i am ready to share thoughts and action.
To begin, just a few flitting thoughts.
Its difficult to suggest people in the government or administration who could and would respond but there are a group of very influential and respected physicians who regularly help the government on policy matters, who could be the bridge. To name offhand, Dr Devi Shetty of the NH group, Dr. A K Dash from JIPMER, Dr Sasank Joshi from Mumbai and many others, whom probably our young colleagues could suggest.
As a professional body I could only think of the ICMR with its huge and widespread reach and influence.
Again, the largest group that should benefit from this initiative are the non institutional general physician, remember that they form the single largest caregiver group, earn meagerly compared to the specialist and often work hard and thanklessly, almost like a daily wage earner, to whom knowledge is a necessity, yet elusive like a good dream.
Probably pharma tie ups (they have the biggest penetration in this segment) might help to reach them.
And, knowledge harvesting practices must be mandatory as a part of the medical carriculum and should be an assesable parameter straight from the MBBS level. Our proposed leader doctors could help.
Wonderful blog! I was not aware about the existence of a Union Catalogue of libraries and their subscriptions!
– The Govt can set up a department/company to purchase nation wide access to all bibliographic databases and journals required and using the model of Netflix or Amazon Pay, an individual can purchase monthly access to all journals OR can have selective access to specific articles (articles can be rented or bought) similar to the model of Google Play Books app.
– the company can use funds from grants if in loss (which will be diverted from funds being received currently by libraries), or it can even turn profitable if managed properly.
– Each person pays for himself initially. Aadhar based authentication and Aadhar based Direct Benefit Transfer can be given to verified individuals especially students for access so that they eventually get to read the articles for free.
For this, all the journals can be categorised in class A/B/C/D (depending on quality and demand of journals). Article from journals of Group A can be sold at Rs X per article while Group B can be sold at a different rate and so on.
B) Private practitioners and those not attached to institutions should have a facility to become members of their city-based libraries and avail of this facility – within established frameworks. – This can be easily done and should be encouraged. Perhaps your organisation can come up with a draft guideline after discussions and other libraries can suitably modify/accept it as it is.
III. I wish to suggest a third approach.
Can the publication houses and private journals with good online traffic utilise it (exploit it) for financial gains – by showing advertisements on the websites/apps. This will increase their revenue and subscription costs can come down.
Also, journals should stop printing journals to decrease costs and become online – only for individual subscribers.

Microsoft will alter Vista to address search concerns
The software maker will change the operating system to address concerns from Google over desktop search. Changes will come with the first Vista service pack, a beta of which is due before the end of the year.
Microsoft plans to make changes to Windows Vista to try to assuage concerns from Google that its desktop search product is disadvantaged by the operating system.
The software maker is expected to detail its planned changes to the desktop search mechanism later Tuesday in a federal court filing being jointly made with the Justice Department. A Microsoft representative declined to comment on the report ahead of its filing. A Justice Department representative was not immediately available for comment. The planned changes were reported earlier Tuesday by Reuters and Bloomberg.
Microsoft plans to use the first service pack for Vista to make the changes to desktop search, a source told CNET News.com. A beta of the service pack is due before the end of the year, the source said.
Google complained about Vista's desktop search arrangement more than a year ago, but the issue has come back into the forefront in recent weeks, with the Connecticut Attorney General saying he would look into the matter.
With Windows XP, Microsoft's desktop search was an add-on, similar to products from Google and others. With Vista, as with Mac OS X Tiger, indexed searching of the local hard drive is built into the operating system.
Discuss: Microsoft will alter Vista to address search concerns

The Jackery is a multipurpose tool that includes DC input, three output plugs, a small torch, and a display. Is the torch practical for most purposes? It is certainly a novelty, but it is unnecessary to an item that weighs six pounds. But is it worth the price? In this product review, we'll find out. Continue reading to learn more about this handy tool.
If you're looking for a portable power source, the Jackery Explorer 1500 is the right choice. The Jackery Explorer 1500 is powered by a 1488-watt hour battery and can produce up to 1,800-watts of load power. It can also trickle down at lower loads for longer periods of time. Jackery's motto is "Power Outdoors". This review will examine the pros and cons associated with the Explorer 1500. This device is the perfect portable power source for camping, hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a portable power station that offers great power for backpacking, traveling, or camping. It's the same design and features as other Jackery products. The handle is hefty and orange colored. This portable power station is rechargeable at any time, making them useful tools for all kinds of outdoor activities. But before you buy one, make sure you read our Jackery Explorer 1500 review.
The Explorer 1500 power station is the newer version. It is a bit more modern than its predecessor and has a port to charge Anderson solar panels. It also has an additional DC input port, allowing up to four 100-watt Jackery Solar panels to simultaneously re-charge the Explorer 1500. It will take approximately four hours for the Explorer 1500 to fully charge with that much power. But if you plan on using it for long periods of time, it can save you money, too.
The Jackery 1500 Explorer Explorer can be used safely. It comes with a high-quality Battery Management System. It also features a single-button design. The Jackery 1500 Explorer comes with an upgraded MPPT solar regulator called Solarpeak Technology, which maximizes input and extracts solar energy under all conditions. This technology decreases the time required for solar recharging. The Jackery 1500 is the ideal choice for outdoor activities.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a portable power station that can easily replace three electrical outlets. This device also has USB ports to charge smartphones. It has enough battery capacity to power a small office. Pure sine-wave technology ensures a quality output as good as the power grid. The inverter power and battery capacity are sufficient for small businesses. The Jackery Explorer 1500 has an enhanced user interface that addresses previous flaws. It also supports higher input voltage, making the Jackery Explorer 1500 an ideal portable power source.
Another feature of the Explorer 1500 is the fast-charging capacity. The Explorer 1500 can be fully recharged in around 13 hours with two SolarSaga 100W panels. You can also charge the battery faster by using two Jackery AC power converters. It takes just four hours to charge the Explorer 1500 up to 80% capacity using two AC power adapters. It will take six hours to fully charge the Explorer 1500 if you use one AC power adapter.
The Jackery Explorer 240 portable solar charger is one of today's most popular. The maximum continuous output of the Jackery Explorer 240/250 is 200 watts. This means that a fully charged Jackery Explorer 240/250 can power a 100W device for up four hours. For comparison, a typical mobile battery lasts between 2.5 and three hours. Using a Jackery 240/250 to charge a mobile battery would increase its lifetime by 20 to 25 times.
This portable power station can also be used as an external power supply for tablets, smartphones, and laptops. Its battery management system and inverter technology deliver clean, balanced power to your devices. The Jackery 240 motor is very quiet so you can use it indoors with no concern about the air quality. It's impressive in capacity and offers a lot of flexibility to meet your needs. It can also be used to convert solar energy into useful power for your gadgets.
The Jackery Explorer 240 can be used as a tailgater, camper, or emergency preparedness tool. It includes a 12V car outlet, two USB plugs, and a 110V AC socket. Although it is not waterproof, it is completely quiet and emits zero emissions. It also comes with a solar panel that can be purchased separately for about $200. The solar panels are not waterproof.
The Jackery Explorer 240's battery compartments have plenty of space. This is great for cooling. The 300 version, however, has more wattage as well as a larger batteries. It is a portable power station that weighs six pounds. This makes it heavy and bulky. While its portability is another selling point, it is an excellent choice for travelers. This charger will serve you well if you are aware and aware of its limitations.
The Jackery Explorer 240 solar panel is portable and can be charged via a car outlet, wall outlet, or solar panel. The Jackery Explorer 240's MPPT controller, which is built into the Jackery Explorer 240, can help you manage your portable devices' power output. If you need more power, the Jackery Explorer 500 Watts or Sungzu 1,000 Watts will be sufficient. The Jackery Explorer 240 is a great option for those on a tight budget who want to save money while camping.
It is important to know the power-to-size ratio. A device that has a higher Watt measurement can run on a greater amount of power. Therefore, you must ensure the power to size ratio is right. The Jackery Explorer 240 is rated at 230W surge power. That's pretty impressive, but it's only a short time compared to the power output of a standard household appliance.
We will be reviewing the Jackery Explorer 300's charging capabilities as well as battery life in this Jackery Explorer 300 review. The battery life is excellent, powering devices like laptops and smartphones up to 125W for up to 30 charges and even drones for up to six charges. This means that this portable battery will last most people at least a weekend. It is recommended that the device be kept at 70% to 90% capacity, which is more than enough to meet most people's requirements.
The Jackery Explorer 300's charger can be charged using any USB-C PD adapter. The slower the charger, the longer the charging time. Charging time is about 5.5 hours. This is significantly longer than average in this category. To protect batteries, all power stations have a maximum charging limit of 80%. Charging below 20 percent can drastically shorten battery life. It's recommended to use a power supply with a higher power rating than Jackery Explorer 300.
The Jackery Explorer is an excellent choice if you are looking for a portable power source capable of running a variety electronic devices. This device pumps out up to 300W of pure sine wave electricity from a 293Wh battery. This is enough to power small appliances such as a toaster, but it won't be enough for the whole house. It's enough power to run a tablet or laptop. But you won't need any more.
The Jackery Explorer300's recharge time is remarkable for such small devices. The Explorer 300 can be charged with a good PD USBC charger in just two hours. That's pretty impressive compared to the few minutes some smartphones boast. The battery's life span is impressive, but the charger's cost is outrageous. Additionally, the battery can't be removed.
The Jackery Explorer 300 has been a pioneer in the industry of portable power. Its stylish design supports up to six devices. Its 300 watts of power are sufficient to power most smartphones or tablets. Another advantage is its portability and ease of usage. Its sleek design makes it easy-to-carry and portable. The Jackery Explorer 300 is a great option if you're in search of a portable, solar power station that can charge multiple devices.
The power station lets you charge and recharge your devices when you're not connected to the grid. While the device isn't ideal for hiking or remote jobsites, it's still useful if you need to recharge your battery on the go. It can be used anywhere that you don't have access to extension cords or power outlets. It also runs silently, so you'll never hear it. The Jackery Explorer 300 is not without its many advantages. However, it does have some drawbacks.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station is a quiet, versatile and cost-effective way to bring plenty of clean power to your campsite. It's compatible with solar panels and is completely silent. In this Jackery portable power station review, we'll go over the benefits of this product and discuss its pros and cons. This review is based on my experience using the Jackery portable power station. We highly recommend it!
The Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station is a cost-effective way to bring plenty of clean, silent power to your campsite
The Explorer 1000 portable battery power station comes with solar panels and a battery. It can be expanded with additional solar panels or more battery capacity, provided you have enough space. You can add more outlets to the system by adding USB Type-C ports. It's rugged design makes it ideal to take on camping trips. However, it's easy to transport.
The Explorer 1000 includes an AC adapter, but it's also possible to use a 12V source. It will take about seven hours to charge to 100 percent, and the portable power station comes with a power display that lets you see how much battery life you have left. You can also purchase the Explorer 1000 with SolarSaga 100 solar panels. They will provide up 100W of peak power.
The power station is built with a sturdy, modern design. It is made from sturdy black plastic with grey trim. However, it lacks durability and waterproofing. It will need to be stored under cover to prevent it leaking. The resulting noise level will be lower than that of the battery-powered units, which are usually quite loud.
Although the Jackery 1000 isn't a complete solution for your whole house, it can solve your problems with running water, communication, heat, and heat. It's a good choice for camping, but it's important to know how much you'll use it and when. A 300 watt rice cooker can drain 44% of the battery's power in 15 minutes.
The company also offers solar panels, in addition to its Jackery portable power station. The SolarSaga 100Watt model is compatible with solar panels and features a charging station with two USB outlets. This unit will ship within two to three business days. Delivery times vary depending on the destination. Please note that transit time is not guaranteed, and is subject to change.
The Jackery power station can handle the amperage generated by solar panels. The connectors on the backs of solar panels must be 8mm in diameter if you plan to make your own. You will need an adapter cable that connects your solar panels to the Jackery unit. You can purchase this cable from Renogy. An identical cable is also available to Richsolar panels and Newpowa.
There are many Jackery portable power station types. Choose the one that best fits your needs. The Explorer 160 is great to charge mobile devices. The Explorer 1000 and 1500 can charge larger items and are compatible with solar panels. The Compact Explorer is smaller and more compact than the Explorer range. You can even purchase two or more of these units and combine them with solar panels to create the Ultimate Solar Charging station.
A portable power station has many benefits. A portable power station is quiet and requires no gas. You can also use it to charge up your portable electronic devices when your RV power goes down. You'll love the Jackery Explorer 244, no matter if you're a full-time RVer, weekend warrior, or not. This unit also has an integrated battery management system to ensure that your portable power station runs smoothly even when there is no power.
Another advantage is its small size. The Jackery Explorer 1000 portable power supply is about the same size as a microwave and can keep your electronics going for hours or even days. The Jackery Explorer 1000 is quiet so you don't have to worry if it overheats or runs out of power. You can also use it anywhere you need it because it's lightweight and compact enough to fit in your backpack or car.
Another plus is the four charging ports on the Jackery Explorer 240. Each one has two USB outlets to charge multiple devices. It also has an AC/DC port, and the Jackery is quiet. This feature is not available on all power stations, but it's worth noting because some of them don't have enough ports for a laptop. If you're not using your laptop, a portable power station will be your best friend.
One of the best things about a Jackery portable power station is its size. It's quite large, but it doesn't seem bulky. The Jackery Explorer 1000 makes a great choice if you want something lightweight and portable but still offers all the features you need. Jackery's portable power station is quiet
If you're on the move, the Jackery portable power station is an excellent backup plan. The Jackery portable power station is powered by a 240-watt lithium ion battery and can power up to four devices. Its lightweight design and push-button operation make it easy for anyone to carry. It can charge smartphones and tablets and even has an LED flashlight. Although some might find the flashlight too gimmicky for navigation, it is actually very useful.
The Jackery portable station doesn't daisy chain with other power sources, which is a drawback. This makes it more suitable for short-term travel than full-time vanlife. The station comes with a 2-year warranty and hassle-free returns. Jackery offers professional assistance that can help with any problem, repair, or replacement.
Another excellent option is the Jackery Explorer 500. It can power multiple devices simultaneously and has numerous ports to support most applications. The Explorer 500 is particularly handy, since it can handle larger electronics and weighs 13 pounds. It is much cheaper than other models and has a built-in handle that makes it easy to transport. If you're looking for a portable power station for camping, the Jackery Explorer 500 might be the best option for you.
The Jackery portable power station has the added benefit of being able to charge multiple devices simultaneously. It's easy for you to take the Jackery portable power station on the road. You can also use it to charge your phone, tablet, and other small electronics. The 144-watt battery provides enough power to power most small electronic devices. It has an automatic shut-off that limits its output power to 500 watts.
Jackery's portable power station is a great choice if you are looking for a portable power source. The EVO 300 is the biggest, and weighs seven pounds, while the Explorer is lightweight and about the size of a handheld radio. Both power sources can be used with small electronics and mobile phones. If you are looking for a lighter, smaller power source, the Jackery Explorer 300 is a good option.
The Jackery Portable Power Station is the perfect backup source when your RV's power fails. With this power source, you can power everything in your RV and even outside. It is powerful enough to run a laptop computer, LED lights, a video game console, and other electronic devices. It can also power outdoor activities, such as sports games and picnics. It doesn't require gasoline, so you can use it indoors or outside without worrying about the noise or exhaust.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a quality portable power station, and the product has almost perfect 5-star reviews from real users. The device can also produce over one thousand Watt-hours of power. The Power Station is quite expensive but still provides emergency power. Even the largest power station in the line, the Jackery Explorer 1000, weighs only 22 pounds.
Although the Explorer 1000 is an excellent product, it's also easy to use. It has all the connectors, ports, and connectors that you need for your portable power source. You can use its AC/DC adapters to charge it. The Explorer 1000 weighs 22 lbs, making it easy for you to carry. It also comes with a flashlight. Although some may find it a bit gimmicky this is a great feature to navigate in the dark.
The Jackery Solar Generator can be plugged into any car or wall outlet. It can also be charged by solar panels. The Jackery Solar generator can provide a larger backup battery if you are concerned about its size. These generators are 240 watts and 480 watts, respectively. You might consider purchasing a smaller generator if you are concerned about its size.
The Jackery Explorer provides outdoor power with safety in mind. It can power small electronics and recharge batteries. It can be used to charge small appliances, and also recharge it with optional solar panels. If you're not going to use it for a long time, you can always plug it in and let it recharge itself. It can be plugged in again and used again. The Jackery Explorer is portable and easy-to-transport.
Although the Jackery 240 may not be powerful enough to replace your RV's electrical system, it is more than enough for most gadgets. It also has a USB output that allows you to charge your smartphone and laptop from anywhere outside your RV. However, it doesn't solve all your van life problems. Despite its efficiency, the Jackery 240 does not replace your main electricals and is a perfect second power source for your RV.
The Jackery solar generator, 240 watts, is compatible with 60W or 100W solar panels. It requires a perfect spot in the sun and good weather for hours on end to charge. It can be recharged in approximately 5.5 hours with the 100w and 7.5 with the 60W panels. This battery-powered generator is great for camping, hiking, or even on your boat. You have many options, so you don't have to decide which one.
You'll also need an adapter if you're planning to use it in a US campsite. US pedestals use the same socket connectors as household mains. This means that you don't require an adapter if camping in the UK. But, if in doubt, you may be able to buy one here. However, the charging cable is only two meters long, which may prove a hindrance for long trips.
The Jackery Explorer240's 240-watts can be recharged in 10 hours using optional solar panels ($200). You can also use a 12V car charger to charge your 240-watt solar generator. Although the Jackery's 240-watt output isn't waterproof, it can last several years. It is also completely silent and emits no emissions. If you have any questions about the 240-watt power source, make sure to check its compatibility with your vehicle.

Q: I am trying to plot a bar graph, but I am constantly getting this error My code:
Dict = {'b':1 , 'n':1, '-':20, '\xa0':5}
x = list(Dict.keys())
y = list(Dict.values())
fig = plt.figure(figsiz = (10,5))

plt.bar(x,y,width = 0.5, color = 'maroon')

Error:
unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'str'

A: Matplotlib is telling you that it doesn't know how to plot your Dict.keys() on the X axis. You'll need to plot your bars with numeric values for the X axis and then you can assign the Dict.keys() to the bars as tick labels. You'll need to adjust the plot scale and/or your data dictionary to get the data to display properly. The following code shows how to get the data to plot and how to assign the tick labels (but does not make any other adjustments).
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Dict = {u'b':1 , u'n':1, u'-':20, u'\xa0':5}

x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
y = [1, 1, 20, 5]
labels = [u'b', u'n', u'-', u'\xa0']  # Note that '\xa0' is a non-breaking space

fig = plt.figure(figsize = (10,5))
plt.bar(x,y,width = 0.5, color = 'maroon')
plt.xticks(x, labels)

plt.show()

Note: depending on your Python version, you can't guarantee in what order the dictionary keys and values will be delivered. I've updated this answer to hard-code the data, to make the answer to your original question more obvious.
