In this the hap-hap-happiest time of the year come all sorts of giving opportunities.
If your snail mail mailbox looks anything like mine, envelopes filled with letters and pens, bags and stickers, and cards and calendars have been rolling in since late October, early November. While I'm a fan of giving, I like knowing how my donated dollars are used preferring that they are spent on the actual mission of the charity rather than excessive administrative costs.
On that last point, CharityNavigator.org is packed with information about charitable giving. They've even got Top Ten Lists.
Just for the heck of it, I clicked on their Top Ten List of the"10 Highest Paid CEOs of Low-Rated Charities" and surprise surprise: The top salary listed was $417,500 and paid to the CEO of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Yikes. The lowest: $205,168 for the CEO of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund.
Yes, all non-profits have administrative costs but making sure those costs aren't eating up a large portion of the dollars donated is important to any charity that wishes to maintain a sound reputation.
Personally, I'd like to see a greater percentage of a dollar donated going directly to the charity's cause and/or mission. But that's just me.
According to Lovetoknow.com, the American Red Cross keeps its administrative expenses under 5 percent of their total overhead and spends 92 percent of their income on programs that benefit the community. A few other charities that spend 90 percent or more of the money donated that actually gets spent on their mission include the Greater Chicago Food Depository; Oregon Food Bank; The Conservation Fund; Give Kids the World; Save the Children; and UNICEF.
Additionally, 86 to 89 cents of every dollar given to Doctors Without Borders goes to supporting their mission.
Donating time and money to grass roots local charities can also be hugely rewarding. Lake Worth-based Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, forgottensoldiers.org, is one worth learning more about.
In the end, whether you're donating $1 or $1,000,000, their is a joy to giving that's both seen and unseen for all involved.
To learn more about charitable giving organizations, established watchdog groups include CharityNavigator.org; CharityWatch.org, this site provides a brief overview of the charity but requires a membership fee for more in depth info; GuideStar.org; and GiveWell.org.


This morning the crew and I join Kathy and Bill at their campsite.
Something tells me the curved wheel well and the flat bottom of the box are not a good mix. A stronger voice tells me this is the kind of situation where it's best to keep an open mind. So we position the battery box on top of the wheel well and it looks good, very good.
The steel T-brace is strong enough to support two batteries and will secure the box to the wheel well.
The wire and right angle brace are for the temperature sensor. The markings on the bottom of the box are outlines of the batteries.
The blue straps are a safety feature. They will wrap around the batteries. In the event of a side-impact collision or a roll-over, the batteries will not fly out of the box.
Bill and Kathy insist on decorative screws to hold down the lid. The circular black grills are another professional touch.
At last the battery box is mounted on the wheel well!
Two bolts go through the metal plate of the T-brace and through the wheel well. Large washers are on the tire side of the bolts. Another bolt goes down through the bottom of the box and through the top of the wheel well. These two directions of the bolts remove any possibility of shearing taking place. Although I can't imagine how that could happen . . . . The box is a solid part of the PTV now!
In the photo below you see the battery box is adjacent to the inverter.
Bridget assumes the job of Quality Assurance Officer.
I have labelled where the 15 amp, 75 volt max charge controller and the 150 amp, resettable circuit breaker go on the outside of the battery box. (Click to enlarge.) We put the lid on the box for this photo. Of course, the lid will come off again to finish the wiring, to connect the battery terminals, and to strap down the batteries properly.
I wonder if Bill will need a heating pad on his back tonight.
Everything is going well. I'm looking forward to more progress tomorrow!

My, how sanitary. It almost feels nautical…a very good thing.
It's really coming together nicely!
On behalf of Mick and Bill . .. thank you! It is pretty nice, isn't it.
Well check you out! Wow, how far you have come in such a short time. That PTV and Casita are some pretty cool wheels. I am really enjoying checking in to see your progress.
You and the canine kids will be having lots of wonderful times "off the grid" now.
I'm having to cool our heels while the solar work is being done. I'm getting restless for the road!
Nice professional Job. Good space utilization. Can't wait to see it all finished!
Definitely looks like it belongs in the PTV! Blends right in.
That's looking good. Very clever.
Thanks for sharing all this info! I find it interesting that you run into just the right person willing to help just when you need it…Nice when the universe confirms that you're on the right track. I'm especially looking forward to hearing how it all goes when you go off grid and use the panels.
Right people arrive at the right time. It happens to me all the time! Did you read the blog entry about that treacherous and scary Coyote Road? A guy in a pickup appears and lets me know about the road up ahead and where to turn. . . . .
At Santa Rosa last summer, I feel like I'm going to faint from the heat while I'm trying to park the Casita …. what happens? A camp maintenance man appears immediately on an ATV and parks the Casita for me. I stayed there for several days and never saw him again.
You are blessed! Angels in your path!
Sue it looks fantastic, they did such a great job.
I am so happy and excited for you! ditto ditto ditto to what everyone else said! Kathy and Bill are great neighbors!
awwwwww thanks! It's only because you are so nice to begin with!
W O W ! ! ! That is one clean installation! Very professional.
Isn't it the neatest thing!
That's interesting. I don't have the instructions because the inverter was already mounted in the van when I bought it. I'm going to see if I can find anything about that online.
One thing that is in my favor regarding the inverter not getting too warm . . . It's a 3000 watt inverter and I probably won't be dealing with anything over 2,000 watts.
Mick emailed me the manual for the inverter. Thanks, Mick!

Das Minensuchboot 1916 war eine Klasse von Minensuchbooten der Kaiserlichen Marine, welche im Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg durch verschiedene Marinen zum Einsatz kamen.

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Bau
Siehe auch: Liste der Einheiten des Minensuchbootes 1916

Aufgrund der Erfahrungen in den Anfangsjahren des Ersten Weltkriegs, der eine Intensivierung des Minenkrieges mit sich gebracht hatte, ließ die deutsche Marineleitung einen Schiffstyp entwickeln, der speziell für die Minenabwehr geeignet war. Ein Kriterium dabei war eine kurze Bauzeit sowie die Hinzuziehung kleinerer, bisher im Kriegsschiffbau nicht beteiligter Werften.

Der als Minensuchboot 1916 bezeichnete Entwurf war der dritte Amtsentwurf der Kaiserlichen Marine nach denen von 1914 und 1915, von welchen 56 Boote gebaut wurden. Es wurden in der Zeit von 1916 bis 1919, 119 Boote geordert, welche wie üblich bei Einheiten dieser Größe mit Nummern (M 57 bis M 176) statt Namen versehen.
Die Bauaufträge für sechzehn der letzten achtzehn Boote (M 159 – M 160 und M 162 – M 175) wurde bei Kriegsende storniert. Dreizehn weitere Boote (M 123, M 124, M 127, M 128, M 141, M 142, M 143, M 148, M 149, M 153, M 154, M 155 und M 156) waren bei Kriegsende noch im Bau und wurden unvollendet abgebrochen; sechs ebenfalls noch unfertige Boote (M 131, M 147, M 151, M 152, M 158 und M 161) wurden als Rohbauten teilweise ins Ausland verkauft und für andere Zwecke fertiggebaut. Somit wurden insgesamt 84 Boote dieses Typs als Minensuchboote fertiggestellt.

Des Weiteren war geplant, sieben Boote für die Verwendung als U-Boot-Begleitschiffe zu bauen, welche die Bezeichnung UT 1 bis UT 7 tragen sollten. Von diesen wurden die ersten drei am 25. August 1918 auf der Triester Austria Werft und die anderen vier auf der Werft Lange & Böcker in Reval in Auftrag gegeben. Keines der Boote wurde fertiggestellt.

Verwendung
Die Boote dieses Typs wurden außer zur Minenräumung auch im Geleitdienst und zur U-Jagd eingesetzt.

Im Bestand der Kriegsmarine befanden sich 1939 noch 36 dieser Boote: M 57, M 60 (Hecht, Hille), M 61, M 66 (Störtebeker), M 72, M 75, M 81 (Nautilus, Versuchsboot), M 82 (Jagd), M 84, M 85, M 89, M 98, M 102, M 104, M 107 (Von der Groeben), M 108 (Delphin), M 109 (Johann Wittenborg, Sundevall), M 110, M 111, M 113 (Acheron), M 115 (Arkona), M 117, M 122, M 125, M 126 (Alders), M 129 (Otto Braun), M 130 (Fuchs), M 132, M 133 (Wacht, Raule), M 134 (Frauenlob, Jungingen), M 135 (Hela, Gazelle), M 136 (Havel), M 138 (Zieten, Nettelbeck), M 145, M 146 (Taku, Von der Lippe) und M 157. Ein erheblicher Teil von ihnen war zu verschiedenen Sonderzwecken umgebaut worden und viele hatten inzwischen auch andere Namen erhalten.

M 77 war 1922 zum Rheinschlepper, 1929 zur Hamburger Hafenfähre und 1935 zum Flugzeugbergeschiff umgebaut worden und diente von 1941 bis 1943 als Hilfs-Flugsicherungsschiff der Luftwaffe.

Im Jahre 1927 erwarb die litauische Marine M 59 und stellte es als Prezidentas Smetona in Dienst. Von dort gelangte es 1940 bei der Besetzung Litauens durch die Sowjetunion in die Hände der sowjetischen Marine, bevor es 1945 von einem deutschen U-Boot oder durch Minentreffer versenkt wurde. Ein ähnliches Schicksal teilte M 68, das nach mehrfachem Flaggwechsel (u. a. als Virsaitis bei der lettischen Marine) 1941 von einer Mine versenkt wurde.

Solar Panel Cost Guide in Detroit, MI (Jan 2023)
Detroit Solar Installation Cost: $12,038
HOME > SOLAR PANEL COSTS > MICHIGAN > DETROIT
Average Cost of Solar Panels in Detroit
Find out what the average cost of installing solar panels is in Detroit.
The national average cost of solar panels is $2.66 per watt, but in Detroit it's $3 per watt. To account for the typical energy needs of the average home in Detroit, most homeowners require a 6.1-kilowatt system. Using the per-watt figure above, a solar installation costs around $12,038, or $8,908 after the federal solar tax credit of 30% is applied.
Keep in mind that the figures above are only estimates based on the average energy use of Detroit homeowners. The cost of a solar system for your home may look different depending on factors unique to your situation, like your household energy use and solar contractor. But, after you've paid the upfront cost of installation, the return on investment for most homeowners is usually rewarding, with a net average savings of about $16,000 over 20 years on electricity bills.
You can click the button below to get connected with a top solar installer in Detroit that can help you get a more accurate cost estimate for your home.

Top Solar Installers in Detroit
Installing solar panels on your own can be a stressful undertaking, which is why hiring a solar installer is a good option for many homeowners. The expertise that solar companies provide can be invaluable as well, especially if you aren't sure what brand of solar equipment would be right for your home.

Factors that Affect Solar Panel Costs in Detroit
The cost of installing a solar system in Detroit can vary by more than $10,000 from home to home. Your actual cost is dependent on several factors. The biggest one is your system size, and other factors include equipment choices, financing options and the solar installer you choose.
The cost of solar panels varies by thousands of dollars due to some different factors. One of the notable factors is the system size, which is measured in kilowatts (kW). Solar power systems that have higher efficiency or power production require better technology and/or more equipment, both of which can raise costs. For each additional kilowatt you need, your cost can go up by about $2,810. The model of solar panels and equipment you want is another factor that will substantially affect costs. Solar panels that have higher efficiency, like monocrystalline panels, tend to be more expensive. Further, solar equipment goes beyond just the solar panels themselves. You'll also need to think about the kind of racks used to mount the panels, inverters, solar batteries, etc. It's important to take all of this into consideration when researching a solar system that's in your budget.
If paying for a solar system out of pocket is too expensive, solar loans are an affordable choice because they cut back your upfront costs and allow you to pay for your system over a term of, on average, between five and seven years. When considering your overall cost, you should also calculate the interest you'll pay if you choose to go with a solar loan. Also, paying more on your down payment can reduce the total interest paid over time.
Lastly, the company you opt for to install your solar system can affect how much it costs. Detroit's solar companies all have different labor costs and add varying upcharges to equipment. Additionally, some companies in Detroit have more knowledge about local solar incentives and can help you learn about additional rebates or tax exemptions. Though, they may charge more for that service. Even if they cost more upfront, they could help you save more money in the long run.
There are a lot of companies to choose from in Detroit, and some homeowners feel overwhelmed considering their options. Choosing the right company for you can be difficult, so here are some tips to help you decide:
Solar Panel Brands: The kind of solar panel you want to get plays a part in which company you should choose, since different companies have access to different panels.
Contract: Read the contract terms thoroughly to make sure you understand the cost breakdown, project completion timeline incentives and warranties.
Installation Process: Get detailed information from your solar company about the installation process and what to expect, including when the site survey will be completed and how long it will take.
Warranty: Many companies offer different types of warranties that provide different kinds of coverage. A 25-year, all-inclusive warranty is the gold standard.
EcoWatch's Detroit, MI Solar Cost FAQs
What is the average cost of installing solar panels in Detroit?
This is a tough question to answer precisely, because the cost depends on a few different factors. Generally speaking, it costs about $14,050 for a 5-kW system and $28,100 for a 10-kW system after the ITC is applied. You can expect to pay more if you want other solar equipment or more efficient panels, or if you have above-average energy usage. On the other hand, you can spend less if you opt for a smaller solar panel system or less efficient solar panels.
Cost is without a doubt one of the most important things to bear in mind when buying solar panels, but other important factors include efficiency, durability, and quality.
How will having solar panels impact my property value?
Solar panels can increase the value of your home significantly as long as you buy or finance your panels and don't go for a solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA). According to research done by Zillow, the average home value increases by about 4.1% after installing solar panels."
How long do solar panels last in Detroit?
On average, solar panels can last about 25 to 30 years. Some even last up to 50 years, but their efficiency decreases by about 0.8% each year. You can choose to replace them sooner if you want to maintain a larger amount of energy production.

I'm happy to announce that A Release from Rage is now available! It is the fourth chapter in the Saulzar Codex – a series of short stories focusing on Saulzar, a fierce warrior battling to overcome his own past. You can learn more about the project here.
I'd love for you to stop by and pick it up. It's a short story at 8400 words and is priced at $0.99.
Above his head was an ancient wall, built thousands of years before and buried beneath the scouring sand of the Aridad desert for generations. He wedged his body deeper into the crevasse, praying the rock did not pick this moment to crumble into decay, burying him under thousands of pounds of rubble.
"Is it there, do you think?" Flint asked.
"Can you reach a bit more?" Coal asked.
Sweat dripped into Saulzar's eyes, fear pressed in with the weight of the fallen walls that he slithered between. He could feel the pulsing of his goal, waves of power that emanated from just beyond his reach. Rubble trickled down the wall, dust falling in waves to coat his face in a sticky mask.
"Farther. You got to lower me farther," Saulzar said through clenched teeth.
Smudge replied with a strained grunt and Saulzar slipped forward another foot.
"Careful, you oaf!" Meria said.
Smudge growled, but it was out of strain, not anger. All the Wolves had adopted Meria as their own after the death of the Warlord. She possessed a ruthlessness matched only by Saulzar.
Smudge was lying on his belly, half in the hole, with Flint and Coal holding his legs. He held Saulzar by a single arm and dangled him lower.
"Any further and they'll all be in the hole with you," Meria called down.
"Can he see in the dark, I wonder?" Flint asked.
It was pitch black in the ancient ruins, but for a sickly torch casting bewildering shadows on the worn and pitted columns around them.
Saulzar had led his Wolves into the Aridad desert, chasing the rumor of a long lost necklace of untold power. Saulzar had learned of it from Omen Taru of the Durrant Heil, but it was Lord Edward who mentioned hearing of strange lights in the sky in the Aridad Desert. Caravan traders from Sol were afraid to go near the Oasis of Gielel because of the lights and because of the bones.
Thousands of bones littered the ground just north of the oasis. Ancient walls and crumbled stone marked the site of a ruined city, and the bones were thick as the grain on the Poi plain. No one could recall seeing the ruins or the field of bones before. It was as if the desert was offering them back up to the light of day.
Saulzar had a hunch about those rumors, an inkling that the rumors could be tied to what he sought. Ancient relics from another age were waking up, finding their way back into the world and Saulzar had already collected many at the behest of the Durrant Heil.

Doc: Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell's office could be a metaphor for his team
This so-far, bare wall of a baseball season in Cincinnati will be decorated at some point.
Doc: Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell's office could be a metaphor for his team This so-far, bare wall of a baseball season in Cincinnati will be decorated at some point. Check out this story on cincinnati.com: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/columnists/paul-daugherty/2019/05/14/column-david-bell-cincinnati-reds-office-mlb-standings-nl-central-chicago-cubs-gabp/3675594002/

Tanner Roark gave up eight hits and three runs in five innings, including a two-run single to Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks in a 3-1 loss. Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer
David Bell hasn't gotten around to sprucing up the manager's office at Great American Ball Park. The 20-foot square space is dressed in Mid-Century American Bomb Shelter: Four walls painted gray, empty but for a black dry-erase board and a flat-screen television. I offered to bring in a picture of my family to hang on a wall.
"It's going to get better," the Reds manager said.
Take it as a metaphor, if you want. This so-far, bare wall of a baseball season in Cincinnati will be decorated at some point. Bell's team dropped a tidy and well-played 3-1 game to the NL Central-leading Cubs Tuesday night. The Cubs won because a career .090-hitting pitcher – 24-for-267 coming in, don't hit that way, kids – dropped a 2-run double over the head of shallow-playing centerfielder Nick Senzel.

That was the big story. That, and the same slugging pitcher, Kyle Hendricks, allowing but one run in eight innings, on three hits, and one baserunner past 1st base.
But the glory of baseball is the stuff that lies beneath. Before Hendricks cleared the bases, the Cubs had two outs and nobody on in the 2nd inning. That's when Daniel Descalso, batting 7th, confounded the Reds' New Age shifting by laying down a bunt to the vacant left side of the infield. Descalso could have ridden a donkey to 1st base.
What happened next was egregious, and very baseball-like. Eight-hitter Albert Almora singled, and Hendricks whapped a highly legitimate two-base hit that one-hopped the centerfield wall. Two runs scored, all the Cubs would need.
A lot of times we'll give the guy the bunt in a two-out situation," Bell explained. "Especially in that part of the order."
The shift Bell ordered with Descalso at the plate kept him up Tuesday night. It would be studied and discussed with his coaches. The decision was wrong, but not for lack of information and preparation.
"Every single day I make 100 decisions, and every single day I've looked at the thought process" that was involved, Bell said. "Really diving into how a decision was made. Just to make sure. That process is important. Not dwelling on decisions, but taking a fair look at them and making sure the process was right.
"I don't like to go to sleep until I get to where I've properly evaluated the day."
Bell conceded that "most teams" would have defended Descalso, a left-handed hitter, simply by shifting their infielders toward the right side of the diamond. Bell went with three infielders and four outfielders. He had third baseman Eugenio Suarez playing up the middle, just to the right of 2nd base.

The left side was as empty as Bell's office. "Enticing," he called it.
"That same bunt might have been a hit under normal defensive circumstances," said Bell. His point was, maybe Descalso doesn't even approach the plate with the idea of bunting if the left side of the infield includes a 3rd baseman and a shortstop.
If you thought all of that out as it was occurring, great for you. You get today's Educated Fan Award. Rest assured Bell thought about it before the game even started.
"I look at every single thing we do. There is going to be a lot of thought that goes into everything that happens. I can promise that," Bell said. Preparation, he said, "helps slow things down."
Every manager is different. Maybe David Bell is fastidious because it's his first managerial job and he wants to do everything right. Or maybe he's that way naturally. Time will tell. Dusty Baker managed more by feel. Relationships were far more important to him than in-game strategy or postgame skull sessions. Dusty also had the best-looking office, ever. It resembled the corner of Haight and Ashbury Streets in San Francisco.
Bell is pleased with how his first six weeks have played out. I asked him, "What do you know today you didn't know Opening Day?"
He said he wasn't sure how quickly the team – new coaches and players and new manager – would coalesce. He knows now it was never really an issue. "I couldn't be happier with the environment, the way the players have come together. The process of how we prepare day to day, in some ways, has been better than I expected. It's come together very quickly.
"I know the record (18-24) is what matters and that hasn't been there yet. I have a lot of reason to believe things are going in the right direction."
The walls of his office are barren now. Bell promises to do some decorating. Add his own touches. Make the place liveable, a fun place to visit. We shall see.

The Museum of Modern Art (Museo de Arte Moderno or M.A.M.) was the Spanish national museum dedicated to 19th- and 20th-century painting. It was set up in 1894. It closed in 1971, when its 19th-century collections were merged into those of the Museo del Prado, but housed at the Casón del Buen Retiro, and its 20th-century collections formed into the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art (Museo Español de Arte Contemporáneo or MEAC), the predecessor of the present-day Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic for the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art. More recent artistic production is often called contemporary art or postmodern art.
Modern art begins with the heritage of painters like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec all of whom were essential for the development of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century Henri Matisse and several other young artists including the pre-cubists Georges Braque, André Derain, Raoul Dufy, Jean Metzinger and Maurice de Vlaminck revolutionized the Paris art world with "wild", multi-colored, expressive landscapes and figure paintings that the critics called Fauvism. Henri Matisse's two versions of The Dance signified a key point in his career and in the development of modern painting. It reflected Matisse's incipient fascination with primitive art: the intense warm color of the figures against the cool blue-green background and the rhythmical succession of the dancing nudes convey the feelings of emotional liberation and hedonism.

K-hole at the Dalí
Seeing the unknown
Well it might have been a molly
'Cause my mind's being blown
Take the escalator to the next floor
Such a strong sedator, now I can't find the door
You turn around and you don't know where you've been
You look up at the glass dome and the room beings to spin
Let's go out and find the ocean 'cause I think we need a swim
Turn around, start it over, let's begin
Like the minis at the Louvre
Spinning down the aisle
And the paintings of the Louvre
Now i'm feeling very smart
Like a 3-D picture, stereo's gone
It's a total light picture, kaleidoscope
And the k-hole at the Dalí


Writing for livemint.com, W. Pal Sidhu analyzes China's economic and military growth in relation to the U.S. and India. Sidhu argues that China's biggest challenge will be to maintain its steady economic growth and simultaneously increase its military strength.
While China's growth is impressive, Sidhu points out the economic and military differences between the U.S. and China: "On the economic front, China's annual GDP of around $5 trillion is still one-third of the US' $14 trillion." China's defense budget is pegged at somewhere between $80 billion to $150 billion dollars: "Yet even this high figure dwarfs in comparison with the towering US defence budget of over $650 billion," Sidhu explains.
China plans to expand its growth through new technologies with a focus on cyber warfare, missiles and space technology, and extended-range power projection capabilities.

Business Fundraisers
On World Ranger Day (31 July) we're looking for young rangers to conserve and protect our stunning Lake District landscape.
Fix the Fells are keen to find the next generation of rangers and have recently opened up applications to become a young ranger volunteer. The Fix the Fells Young Ranger programme is open to young people aged between 14 and 18 who are able to commit to one Saturday each month, in all weathers, doing a range of practical conservation work.
For more information on how to apply visit www.fixthefells.co.uk/young-rangers
It's ideal for those who want to pursue a career in conservation as it will give invaluable, on the ground, experience. Equally for those young people who just love being outside and want to help to keep the Lake District special it's a great chance for them to give something back.
Young Ranger Tom Blackburn, age 17 said: "I've been volunteering as a young ranger for over three years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. It's an excellent way to meet new friends, learn new skills, make new paths and create lasting memories."
The role of a ranger is one which is varied and perhaps isn't exactly like it's perceived. They are lucky enough to be out in the glorious landscape a lot of the time and working hard to protect it, so they need to be resilient and have the necessary practical skills.
But equally, a good ranger requires fantastic team working and people skills to be able to communicate effectively with local communities, visitors, partner organisations and volunteers. The ability to project manage and juggle many jobs at one time is also key to success in the role.
Richard Fox is the Fix the Fells Ranger for the Lake District National Park. He says: "Some of the most important attributes you need to be a good ranger are a positive outlook, a sense of humour and a sunny disposition as a lot of the time in the Lake District, let's face it, you are working in cold and wet conditions. But there is nothing more satisfying than knowing that you are doing a great job to conserve the natural landscape."
Fix the Fells is a team made up of Lake District National Park Authority and National Trust rangers, including many invaluable volunteers. They repair eroded paths on the high fells which helps protect the ecology and archaeological heritage of the beautiful Lake District landscape.
We are a team of skilled rangers and volunteers who repair and maintain the mountain paths in the Lake District with funding from donations and partners. A combination of millions of pairs of walking boots, the weather and gradient means erosion is a constant problem. Our path work reduces erosion scars and also helps protect the ecology and archaeological heritage of our beautiful landscape.

A look at the ultimate game of luck.
Roulette is a game often associated with the rich and famous, but in reality, the wide range of betting options and limits means that it's a game that can be enjoyed by all. While some casino games feature a combination of chance and skill, roulette is all about getting lucky. Many have tried to implement successful roulette systems that allow them to consistently win, but the truth is that there's no such thing.
The best way to ensure a good time while playing roulette is to know which bets to make. Because of the dependence on luck, few games can match the excitement that's generated from waiting for the roulette ball to land on a number.
Roulette is a pretty simple game, where the aim is to predict what number the ball is going to land on. A wheel is spun with the ball being thrown in the opposite direction and players are able to place bets on a table with various options on it. To make it slightly easier, in addition to betting on the exact number that the ball is going to end up on, there are other bets, such as whether the number will be even or odd, red or black and within a range of numbers.
Roulette has been involved in a number of films and other events including the legendary Casablanca. UK illusionist and mentalist Derren Brown filmed himself attempting to predict the single number outcome of one spin while betting with £5,000 of a member of the public's money. Unfortunately for Brown, and the member of the public, betting on 8 didn't pay off as the ball landed in the slot next to it at 30.
A visit to an online casino will often result in seeing a number of different variations of roulette. While variety is obviously the spice of life, the sheer number of choices can be a bit off-putting. The three most traditional variations of roulette are European, French and American roulette. The differences between these are explained in the rules section of this guide.
Playing roulette online, as opposed to in a land based casino, is much simpler and is ideal for players who aren't too familiar with the game. By simply clicking on the amount you want to bet and then the corresponding area of the table, you can place your wagers and then watch as the ball makes its way round the wheel.
If you're still unsure of the game after reading this guide, then there's always the play for free area which almost all online casinos offer. This is great to work out the ways of the game or even to test out a new strategy, although we're always a bit sceptical about roulette systems.
One major benefit of online roulette to playing in a land based casino is that you actually have a better chance of winning. This is thanks to the variations on offer, because many casinos in the US, UK and around the world will only offer US roulette. However, online casinos tend to offer US and European roulette and as is about to be explained, given that choice you should always play European roulette.
Players at a roulette table can place a variety of bets, such as what number the ball will land on, or on what colour it will land. The roulette table is laid out with each number and bet categorised and to either the left or right of the table you can locate the roulette wheel.
The wheel is usually red or black in colour and can feature between 37-38 numbers on the wheel. Bets are made by clicking on the appropriate section of the table and then the wheel is spun in one direction and the ball in the opposite. Eventually, the ball will stop and the colour and number it lands on will determine who the winners are at the table.
Different roulette bets can be categorised in to two main sections – inside and outside bets. Inside bets are wagers where players select the number or the range that the ball will land on. Outside bets are broader and are when the player bets on whether the ball will land on a red or black section or whether the number will be odd or even. Dozen bets are also an outside bet, where you can bet which grouping of 12 the ball will fall into (for example; 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36). A similar bet is to select which group of 18 the ball will land on (such as low 18 which is 1-18 or high eighteen which is 19-36).
There is one notable difference between the most popular forms of the game – American and European roulette. This difference is the amount of numbers on the wheel. In European roulette, there are 37 numbers on the wheel, however, in American roulette there are 38 numbers. This extra number is a double zero, which is used exclusively in American roulette. This makes the game harder to predict as there are more possible outcomes.
The amount of zeroes on a wheel, however unimportant it may seem, can be integral to your gameplay. If the roulette wheel lands on a zero, then all bets go to the house that weren't placed on it. If there are two zeroes on a wheel, then the house has more chance of taking your bet.
When it comes to roulette strategy there have been many theories, systems and schemes put forward over the years. However, we're sorry to report that they're all bogus. No roulette system has ever consistently produced wins and many are simply money management systems that don't even work that well.
Roulette systems have even been discussed in the Encyclopaedia Britannica with similar conclusions being drawn. It's best summarised with this statement: "regardless of what system is used, in the long run it cannot overcome the house's advantage".
Sorry if we've ruined your dreams of finding a perfect roulette system, but there are ways that you can help yourself while playing. The main two involve effective money management and spreading your bets evenly.
By spreading your bets, we mean placing a number of inside bets, so you have a good covering of the table. This will provide you with a much better chance of winning and means that you could still be in for the huge wins that everyone hopes for. Good money management is making sure that you aren't betting recklessly and that if you do win then you can win big.
The great Albert Einstein once said of roulette: "The only way to win is to steal from the table when the croupier isn't looking."
Biased roulette wheels have plagued casinos through the years since Joseph Jaggers and his team won more than £200,000 at a Monte Carlo casino in 1873.
In 2004 Londoner Ashley Revell sold all his worldly possessions and placed the entire £84,000 on one spin hoping for it to come up red. It did and he doubled his money.


Lock in a great price for Intourist Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

There is a restaurant in the hotel but also one on the corner (Hurma) that is quiet good. Across the street (250 meters to your left) there is a pizzeria with good and cheap pizza but it is the interior is spartan.
Staff at Reception Desk were excellent and most helpful. Location very good.
I was expecting a somewhat Soviet-style hotel, but got a nice surprise. The hotel was clean and modern. My "business comfort" room was bright and airy. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was very little noise from the other rooms. The room had a small fridge and an electric kettle, so no need to have breakfast elsewhere. Nice location near the Kremlin. The staff were extremely pleasant. I had a truly relaxing stay!
It is not far from the main tourist attraction. It is warm.
The place was good,only a fifteen minute walk to the Kremlin.

We were first into the Dining room for dinner by approximately 10/15 mins.and requested a simple dinner (I.e. soup/pancakes) 1/2 hour later a tour group and a number of other diners who arrived later were onto their second plate of food and we still had not received even a bowl of soup! Either our custom was not important or the Chef was overworked or we were just forgotten which is hard to believe as we were sat at prominent dining table. Eventually we chose to eat outside the Hotel. We understand tour groups are important for business but we were paying cash!
In summer air conditioning would be welcome. The doors are not sound proof.
Hotel room is very hot at summer cause no air conditioning. Also bathroom is even more hotter because no working ventilation. Towels are very overused.
The trek from the bus station was a bit long, but I knew about this when making the booking. Anyway, the convenience of the location near the main sights was a big plus.
The rooms are quite old and the hotel should be renovated to meet standards. Facilities in the room are quite poor.
It's fine for one night but not more.
The standard room is small for three persons, and quite uncomfortable. It has three beds dormitory style. The hotel is very much 1960s. Breakfast is well overpriced and not included. The hotel is poor choice for Novgorod, though it is not dreadful. Just not good enough.
Condition of the bath room could be more comfortable.

A Concert Dedicated to the 150th Anniversary of Komitas
A brilliant soprano! An amazing piano! Anna Poghosyan and Margarita Sargsyan conquered the audience of the concert dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the great Armenian composer Komitas.
Organized by Parekordzagan/AGBU (Armenian General Benevolent Union) - Sofia, the concert was held under the honorary patronage of the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia at the Republic of Bulgaria on September 13th at the Krikor Azarian Hall of the Armenian People's House.
The concert program included works by Komitas, Melikyan, Aprahamyan, Ganachyan, Adjemyan, Galanteryan, Berberyan, Mavisakalyan and Afrikyan. Of course, songs were mostly of Komitas (1869 - 1935). Known as a priest, musicologist, composer, singer, conductor and arranger, he is considered as the founder of the Armenian National Music School and is the pioneer of ethnomusicology. The Yerevan State Conservatory bears his name.
Both Anna Poghosyan and Margarita Sargsyan are graduates from Komitas State Conservatory in Yerevan. Both have amazing creative biographies, have won many awards and are well known around the world. And we found out why. The voice of one lures, the virtuoso performances of the other captivate the audience.

The solution proposed by Question 2 is, to use H.L. Mencken's phrase, simple, plausible, and wrong because it ignores other badly needed changes in charter policy and leaves students in district schools victims in its wake.
What is wrong, is the funding formula. Recent editorials and political advertisements have argued both ways on whether charter schools take or generate money for the public schools. Losing a child or two over several classrooms throughout a district does not mean that a district can cut its budget to accommodate the reduction. The sending district receives a reimbursement to manage the revenue reduction that is spread out over five years. Truth be told, it has been four years since this offset has been fully funded. This basic misunderstanding of district budgeting is at the core of much of the confusion.
What is plausible, are the recommendations made by the Foundation Budget Review Commission. A bipartisan commission of educators, legislators and business members studied the adequacy of school funding last year. The findings indicated that the state is underfunding K-12 education by $1 billion in the foundation budget. This budgeting challenge, creates even more difficulties for districts. Advanced coursework, athletics, transportation, enrichment and more have been on the chopping block in district after district over the past number of years. Too many districts are struggling to provide the support services children need in mental and emotional health. Last year's Foundation Budget Reform Commission laid out the picture clearly. Real financial reform, not only of charter reimbursements but of education funding as a whole, is but one of many needed before there should be any discussion of lifting the cap on charter schools.
What is simple, is to create an accountability system on the local level. The difference in the children attending district and charter schools must end. A requirement that charter schools reflect the demographics of sending districts exists in current law, but it has no teeth. For a charter to draw from districts with a high rate of second language learners and have none itself, or for a charter to speak of an open lottery but never draw a high need special education students demonstrates the problem. This is compounded by the state's accountability system, which implicitly pits districts against district, school against school, so long as performance is valued over the growth students' gain from their district. Enrollment and retention measures must have teeth, and the accountability system must measure what school systems add to their students, not simply measure where their students come from.
This decision – how to allocate public education choices amongst the multitude of possible types – is best left to those elected to make those choices to be carried out by those educated and experienced to do so.
Those "elected and experienced" include not only the legislators who have made funding decisions regarding state aid; it also includes local school committee members. Local school committees are charged with transparently allocating local funds in education. Before any increase of the charter cap can be considered, charter schools must be made locally accountable to their democratically accountable school committees and the citizens in communities from which they take their students.
Only when true reform takes place can we be certain that all schools are fulfilling their role: educating all students to be effective citizens in a democracy.

The time I tried to fly to Hobart and they wouldn't let me.
In October 2016, I won the Australian Young Lawyer of the Year award. The award was in recognition of my contribution to access to justice for people with disabilities, the SA Child Protection Systems Royal Commission and the profession more broadly. I had got the call in September and other than telling my immediate family and close friends, it was to be kept a secret. The award ceremony, a black-tie dinner with many esteemed guests from the legal profession, was hosted by the Tasmania Law Society in Hobart. I had not travelled to Hobart since I was a child, but I often fly from Adelaide to the Eastern States (of Australia) so the travel arrangements were of my least concern. I was far more preoccupied with choosing the ultimate formal dress, writing my acceptance speech and finding a makeup artist in Hobart (the big issues, hey!).
At the time, there were no direct flights from Adelaide to Tassie so the itinerary was to fly from Adelaide Sydney, have 45 minutes in Sydney Airport and then onto Hobart! I had planned to arrive by mid-afternoon so I would have time to get ready and have a glass of bubbles before the dinner. Arriving early also allowed a time buffer for the flights to be delayed, which all good travellers try to anticipate! The best-made plans…
With my support worker in tow, we set off for Hobart. We arrived in Sydney, absolutely fine. It was like any ordinary trip. I drove my wheelchair to the aircraft door, got awkwardly man-handled while I was transferred with the eagle lift and was put back in my wheelchair, after patiently waiting for all the walking people to get off the plane. In the stopover time, I grabbed a coffee and caught up on texts/social media (I probably should say emails and work to be more professional, but let's be honest I just scrolled around Instagram for the whole time!).
I boarded the next plane. Again, fine. Wheelchair to the aircraft door, awkward man-handling, safely in the seat. Let's go… or not.
One of the ground crew came and asked my support worker for some expert guidance on my wheelchair. They couldn't get my chair into the cargo compartment. Seemed weird, but people can sometimes be a little weird about wheelchairs so no great cause for alarm. They fumbled around for a while and were being unsuccessful. Of course, their impatience to get the flight moving started to cloud their practical judgment as to how to lower the back of my chair properly to fit into the cargo compartment. They gave up and got all the boarded passengers off the plane. The stream of walking people to get off before me were exasperated and annoyed. Me too! I had an award to win and a make-up artist to see! They came to get me off the plane, and it all unravelled.
Turns out, they had changed the aircraft at the last minute and the replacement plane was smaller. That's why my chair wouldn't fit in cargo. Someone who is responsible for changing planes didn't tell someone who is responsible for the people in the planes, that there was a wheelchair needing to be accommodated in the cargo compartment so that wasn't factored in. The airline was hopeful that I could get the "next flight" to Hobart which would be the right size aircraft and decided not to give me my wheelchair back at the aircraft door. Ugh!!
So here I am, sitting in a poorly fitted wheelchair, kind flailing about, pretty immobile in the gate lounge. Not sure where my wheelchair was, pretty sure I am not going to make it to this once of a lifetime award ceremony. Oh, and did I mention I was 100% ugly crying at this point. The shock was intense and I didn't really know what to do! I am a human rights lawyer, I specialise in disability discrimination and disability rights law. That is literally the reason I am off the win a national award and I don't know what to bloody do! It was just shocking. I felt really small, and PS. SOMEONE GIVE ME MY WHEELCHAIR BACK!
Typical of all discrimination incidents, no one listened to me, no one gave me information about what was happening and it just became a shit show of confusion, logistical drama and stupidity! I did get my wheelchair back though, which was a great relief. At least then I could run away from them, or run over them. I wasn't really sure what the best option was at that point!
The airline was quickly running out of options and continued to dither about. They deemed it an "emergency", like the sort that happens in natural disasters or catastrophic events. I guess it was a disaster in some ways but one caused by idiots, not nature. All nearby airlines with available flights were called to assist. The available flights were with airlines that do not take electric wheelchairs like mine (I already knew that that's why I wasn't flying with them - fools!). It was like the Day of Discrimination that wouldn't end. The Law Council were calling the airline to put pressure on them, I had some occasional moments of good advocacy and yet, none of it worked. After many hours of continued stupidity, prevailing confusion and me oscillating between hyperventilating-crying and being a good advocate, I got sent back to Adelaide on the 8pm flight.
That's it, that's what happens in the end. I got sent back to Adelaide! My sparkly dress, a stood up make-up artist and unopened bubbles are all history. They flew me back to Adelaide in Business Class, as though their fancy Pad Thai with real cutlery was going to make difference (ok, so it might have soothed a little bit but still not good enough!).
I got back to Adelaide in time to accept my award via Skype. I was like Julian Assange giving some weird, clandestine update from Ecuador. It was the worst (doing it via Skype, not the speech). And so, the once-in-a-lifetime event was over and I went bed.
The next day I had the worst emotional hangover ever and wanted to hide in my house with the poodles forever. I was so sad! I had a million missed calls from the airline who were scrambling in damage control over what they had done. I couldn't care less about how bad they felt or what they wanted to do to make up for it. What I wanted (to go to the ceremony) was no longer possible, so I was done!
You might be expecting the next part of the story to be that I lodged an epic discrimination claim against the airline and you haven't read about it because we confidentially settled for millions. Nope. I eventually did call back the airline and for a few days, I thought about making a complaint. But I never did. I didn't go to the Australian Human Rights Commission, the media or anyone. I accepted some free flights (which I used to do some pro work for an advocacy organisation the following year) and told the airline to go away.
That's it. Why? Because it is really hard to be discriminated against and sometimes you just can't fight it. It sounds weird but I am sure other people with disabilities will have felt that way. Ordinary flights shouldn't have to turn into legal dramas and discrimination shouldn't be happening in such an accepted way, every single day.
Moral of the story:
Even though people face everyday discrimination in all sorts of boring scenarios of everyday life when they live with a disabilty, the big incidents of discrimination sting! They really hurt, can be embarrassing and can leave you feeling pretty helpless. Missing an award dinner is not a huge deal in the grand scheme of life. I recognise that there are big incidents of discrimination that some people face and they really struggle to come back from.
If you face discrimination, don't do what I did! Call it out! Ask an advocate, lawyer or friend to help you call it out if you need. It can be really confronting but you have the right not to be treated that way. It's important that your rights are upheld!
Oh, and you don't have to call it out immediately but within six months (for a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission) is ideal.
If you are not sure who to call, you can call me and we can chat about how crap it feels to be discriminated against in broad daylight and then we can talk about ways for you to protect your rights!

Great legs on the redhead.
Really liked the different wingview perspectives !
MUITO BOM MESMO ESSE VÍDEO! PARABÉNS! BENEDITO LUÍS DE GOIÂNIA GOIÁS BRASIL! SOU SEU FÃ NÚMERO UM! MUITO OBRIGADO PELA PASTAGEM!
There's no fuss when you fly with Tus!
Oh boy sometimes miss the mighty Saab 340! Under powered as she might be, it was butter smooth flying for sure! Great video!
Great quality video! Perfect mix of outside and cabin views! I love the Saabs, unfortunately, there are not many operators left here in the USA!
Aw it's really nice to see them being busy. Love that your almost documenting the airline and all its first flights. Thanks for providing us with these videos!
Something tells me that you're quite keen on airplanes?! haha only joking. Great video!
really great video with a beautiful approach!
Excellent shots !!!!!. Nice scenery also and the plane look very quiet and confortable.
Single seat is the best!
I would never fly in such a plane. Too scared of those propellers.
The best thing about flying videos, outside of the fact that you often have a chance to view an aircraft you haven't flown before, is the fact that you get spectacular views of a part of the world you have never set foot on. The Mediterranean Sea was beautiful throughout the video, coming in on Crete and seeing Herakrion, a city I had never before heard of was very cool, I would love to visit Herakrion it was a very impressive place. Rhodes would be another place with great beaches, and awesome scenery I love to check out. In the states we know little about the Greek Isles while the Brits have so many holiday flights to islands and great beaches along Greece and Spain, yes I am envious. The video was very well done, the author is definitely not a graduate of Mr Jiggles videography course.
question! isn't the flaps suppose to be extended before take off?
They should get everyone to put their life jackets on now and not when it's too late.
WOW, that was a high flight level! How high was that? You was able to see the curve of our earth!
Beautiful video! I just wanted to know what is the braking system on this kind of plane, I mean where's the reverse thrust to slow it down?
Excellent shots mate, looks like it was a great flight!
Very nice video with flying sounds instead of music!
It cannot be the propellers that keep the plane up, they are not powerful enough; they hardly spin!
How does it feel flying on an A380 compared to a small light plane in mid-flight? Any differences in comfort/flight dynamics that you can feel directly?
Just a small correction invyour title: LCY not LCA.


Codeduino.com is a fan site dedicated to all things micro-controller. We are in no way affiliated with Arduino or any other company, it's just about the love of them. The aim of this site is to bring together all the information, projects, tutorials, news and all other Arduino related stuff that matter. When I started, I found that there was no central point for everything Arduino. Of course the official site has loads of information, and you can find projects in places like GitHub, but a lot of it went over my head. The site is hopefully a good resource for beginners to find all the information they could need, and example projects and ideas to try out. It is also useful to all you veteran Arduino users, with random tid-bits of information and projects you may have overlooked.
So don't forget: have fun, experiment, stay safe and happy Arduino-ing!
