This entry was posted in Australia Immigration Visa Immigration News and tagged job opportunities in Australia on August 24, 2013 by Blog Author.
Australia is extremely dense. The country is full of wealth and opportunities. The property market in Australia is highly beneficial. The value of home or investment property is fairly decent.
1. The country's economy is in excellent shape. Australia's economy is the envy for most of the developed nations. Australia has gone two decades without recession. According to the Reserve Bank there is no likelihood for the next few years. In fact, the RBA believes that the exports will grow and also assumes stronger economic growth returning to Australia.
2. The population is growing in Australia. There was no discussion regarding big Australia v small Australia for some time because the countries politician recognises the importance of strong population growth to feed the economy. This will help individuals to take up the new jobs which are being created and replace the retiring baby boomers. Australia's population has increased by 400,000 in last year. This is like adding another Canberra or Newcastle. There are excellent job opportunities in Australia for immigrants.
The majority of people have moved to Australia's four capital cities because that's where the jobs are. You will find that most of the immigrants want to live in many of the suburbs. If you aspire to migrate to Australia for a job opportunity, you will have to obtain a Work Visa. Applying for a visa with the help of professional immigration counsellor is advisable. MoreVisas is the best immigration and visa counsellor. Their expert immigration and visa counsellors will provide complete guidance in the documentation process for securing a work visa.
3. Australia is a wealthy nation. By many measures, the country is extremely wealthy. This was confirmed in the Credit Suisse 2012 Global Wealth Report which stated that Australians are now comfortably the richest population in the world with median wealth of US$194,000 per adult.
Interestingly, the report also stated that the Australians comprised some 1,571,000 people in the top 1% of the planet's wealthiest people. To be in the world's top 1% you need a net worth of US$710,000, and if a person has net assets of over US$71,000, he/she in the richest 10% of global wealth holders.
4. Household finances for Australia are in sound shape. Rather than spending money, over the last few years most of the Australians have been covering their cash. Many of them have reduced their credit card debts while others are saving and have taken advantage of low interest rates to pay down their home loans.
There has been strong gain in wealth for households due to the rising stock prices on the ASX and the increased value of their homes. Their strong balance sheets will provide many Australians to increase their borrowings and get into the property market over the next years.
5. Unemployment rate is extremely low in Australia. Few of the jobs have disappeared, but additional new jobs have been created, and even though unemployment may extend over the coming months, but the overall unemployment rate is comfortable around 5.7%.
When people feel confident about their jobs their positive attitude is good for consumption, good for confidence and good for investment.
6. The rate of inflation in Australia is low. This gives the Reserve Bank a chance to keep interest rates low or consider reducing them even further if needed to stimulate the economy.
7. The interest rate in Australia is low and is likely to remain the same for a while. This will provide property owners to get rid of their mortgages quickly and given some who have over committed extra breathing space.
8. Housing affordability is high in Australia. A number of measures show that purchasing a home is extremely affordable.
9. Consumer is extremely confident in picking up goods from Australia. Consumer opinion is the key missing ingredient over the last few years. This has been fragile over the past few months. Most of us are optimistic than pessimistic according to the latest Westpac Melbourne Institute measure of confidence.
10. The bad news which is around, the world is decreasing. The world's problems have not gone away; many of the fears that have plagued Australia over the last few years are subsiding.
When talking about the US economy, it is also picking up and did not fall off the fiscal cliff like everyone had expected. This results on job opportunities in the US. Immigrants are also looking for job opportunities in the US.
The Australian property markets will continue to improve. The property market here is a combination of strong population growth, low interest rates, affordability, job security and rising rentals. With this combination, many people will get involved in purchasing properties in the current year.

While Matt Mullican's drawings struck me as a bit unfinished, I like what the Drawing Center is curating in terms of presenting the artistic process... (and also kind of reminded me of Christoph Niemann's cheat sheets for navigating the city.) Who doesn't love a map.
One of my thesis mentors while I was at Otis / Parsons, Lari Pittman presented yet another bold series of paintings at Gladstone Gallery...his masterfully dense compositions on a seamless surface kept me exploring over and over.

Q: Binding Activity to the LifecycleOwner with Dagger I'm creating a lifecycle aware class (that will be injected in the activity). It takes two params - event bus and lifecycle owner.
In that case can I bind activity to the lifecycleowner?
My lifecycle aware class:
class Bus @Inject constructor(
        private val eventBus: EventBus,
        private val lifecycleOwner: LifecycleOwner) : LifecycleObserver { ... }

The binding in my module:
@Binds
abstract fun bindLifecycle(activity: SampleActivity): LifecycleOwner

And then I'm injecting the Bus in ActivityX as usual:
@Inject
lateinit var bus: Bus

I'm getting the following error:
ActivityX cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method.
So my question: is my approach correct OR it's not possible, since activities DON'T support constructor injection?

A: @Binds annotation "ties" a dependency that is already provided by Dagger to some other type.
By using:
@Inject
lateinit var bus: Bus

you're not making SampleActivity a Dagger dependency (so it is not provided by Dagger). It only uses dependencies provided by Dagger so it cannot be used with @Binds annotation.
You should have an ActivityModule that can expose a LifecycleOwner as a dependency:
@Module
class ActivityModule(private val activity: AppCompatActivity) {

    @Provides
    fun provideLifecycleOwner(): LifecycleOwner {
        return activity
    }
}

(remember that the class that will use a LifecycleOwner must share the scope with the component that uses ActivityModule)

Regarding length of tenancies, it is disgraceful that the longest AST is three years. It is also disgraceful that lenders can disallow a tenancy of over 12 months.
Give tenants some security and allow tenancies of up to nine years.
Also, landlords should give tenants longer notice periods. Four months in the case of landlords and one month in the case of tenants.
These would give greater protection to tenants than currently where there is minimal if any protection.
Ultimately if the deal is bad the two parties will part sooner. However, currently the tenant has little protection.
There should be no rent control. Let the market decide.


Elsa Agtharsdottir, Drottning Arendelle, had originally planned to hole herself up in her chambers following her Coronation festivities. Oh, how things could change! If she'd learned anything from the chaotic events following, it was that a blessing could be mistaken for a curse and that love overcomes fear, lessons she'd need in the years to come. But little did she or Anna know that life was to become quite complicated indeed.
On the doorstep of the Olympics, top American curler Sarah Walker has lost her mixed doubles partner and her boyfriend in one fell swoop. Her coaches throw newbie Team U.S.A. curler Chuck Bartowski onto her team and thrust them into the Olympics, hanging America's curling hopes on two people who only have a short amount of time to learn to trust one another. AU. Non-canon.
This is the first time Seongwu's ever had a fan who's even more famous than he is.
Kaitlyn Lawes' journey to making history from 2009-2018. From juniors to two Olympics, with a worlds or two thrown in the mix. Written just because I love curling!
"Yeah?" He asks, confused at this change of tone.
"You've triple axeled into my heart." He says, meekly. Courfeyrac can feel the blush coming through the line.
it's Sochi, 2014. Officially Courfeyrac's first Olympic games, competing in the men's singles in figure skating. Will he find a medal, and perhaps love along the way?
anyone fancy translating haddaway into medieval french with me?
After the events of Checkmate, Jerott is waiting for the mysteriously delayed Danny Hislop to finally make his way to Scotland so they can go to Malta together (because this is Jerott and he thinks running away to Malta is the only way to deal with his problems). While waiting, he has plenty of time to consider the nature of love and to realise a few things about Francis Crawford. For light relief, there's a curling match.
Thank you to the people who posted encouragement on my Sunday Seven extract from this many months ago. It got a bit long because I have 0 self control and also because I wanted to make sure neither Marthe nor Philippa were overlooked for the sake of the guys' feelings. I know others have written fic about this and I apologise if there's any crossover: I've been holding off reading the archives here until I finished and I am so excited to go and do so now!
If there are historical inaccuracies then I humbly beg forgiveness and also that you break it to me gently.
Freeskier Alex Danvers goes to PyeongChang to win gold, but leaves with something more valuable.
Or, the Olympics AU with skier Alex and curler Maggie that I've been talking about forever and finally got around to writing.
Lexa's Norway and Clarke's USA are underdogs in the 2018 Olympic curling medal race, but both women are too competitive not to set their sights on the gold. They're also too in love with each other not to tempt fate with secret rendezvous, all the while stoking a mad rivalry between their teams.
Getting up at dawn to watch Olympic curling isn't Robbie's idea of fun. James is determined to explain the appeal of the sport.
Alex makes Kara watch curling for sister night. Sibling hijacks ensue. Just fluff really.
For the International Fanworks Day prompt: "What does your favorite character get fannish over?"
Spain never fielded a team for curling at the Winter Games. But they never had a team like Magnus Bane and Catarina Loss, either.
But when they end up against the USA's dream team of Alec and Isabelle Lightwood, Magnus tries to win something more than just gold.
The olympics are soon! Read about curling while cuddling up with some happy times with my favorite OT4! The boys are older and in a curling league. There's a weekend tournament on the horizon and they decide to play together.
Basically, I had a snow day home from work, I love curling, and I love these four little cups of goodness. Enjoy this short spot of nothing! I sure enjoyed writing it.
T for innuendo, I guess, because any sport where people scream "HARD!" and "ALL THE WAY!" just begs for it.
The curling team has been together for a while, and Allura suggests they join their first tournament. Almost everyone is excited. Almost everyone.
A series of one-shots written for a "HP games" themed challenge. I'm excited to have these little guys all in one spot. These are some of the quickest writing I've ever done, where I did not allow my inner critic to double guess anything.

When Jensen's estranged uncle dies and he suddenly finds himself in charge of arranging a funeral for somebody that he doesn't really know in a country that he doesn't really understand, he is fortunate enough to stumble upon the snarkiest undertaker in Canada who helps him along the way. On their quest to discover the late Ernie Ackles's life-story, Jensen undergoes many pivotal experiences, such as having a tea party with an adorable old lady, learning how to play curling, or falling in love with a man.
Curling can be hazardous to your health.


The villa is located in Nogarole Vicentino, in the municipality of Vicenza halfway between Arzignano (the biggest town in the area) and Nogarole (a small hamlet with about 1000 inhabitants) at 200 m above sea level.
Venice 90km; Padua 60km; Verona 40km; Vicenza 20km. Montecchio Maggiore, the renowned locality boasting the castle of Romeo and Juliet is only 10km distant. The Adriatic coast, Jesolo, Ferrara, Chioggia, Sottomarina can be reached by car in one hour or a bit more. The Dolomites and the Garda lake are easily reachable in one hour, one hour an a half.
The region is rich in history, culture and gastronomy. Not to forget the many villas designed by the architect Palladio, situated mainly in Vicenza, in Padua and Verona too, and the basilica in the centre of Vicenza.
The house is part of a small rural complex made up of another old house to restore and a stall.
Basement floor: here a wine cellar and a boiler room have been predisposed.
Second floor: this is a wonderful mansard which will be completed by 2006.
From the sitting room on the ground floor you enter directly the terrace with view over the valley. Here a suggestive panorama can be enjoyed both by day and by night. Outside there are a big porch and a wisteria pergola. A well-kept garden divides the terrace and the road.

Tibet as talking point
The Statesman, India[Monday, May 19, 2008 08:08]
By Claude Arpi
A Tibetan friend mischievously told me: "The Chinese are lucky, Buddha is more compassionate than Allah". This was not meant as judgment on a particular religion, but rather to illustrate that the way Buddhists react to a situation is quite different from the adepts of other credos. This difference is particularly true when one looks at the so-called 'negotiations', between Dharamsala and Beijing.
When Lodi Gyari, the Dalai Lama's Special Envoy returned from Shenzhen after informal talks with some Chinese officials last week, he declared "It was a good first step… We had very candid discussions."
While Tibet watchers wondered what he meant with a 'first step' (Gyari has been meeting the Chinese officials for 6 years now), The People's Daily saw the things differently: "The meeting, arranged at the repeated requests made by the Dalai side for resuming talks, was held between central government officials Zhu Weiqun and Sitar and the Dalai Lama's two private representatives."
Stream of insults
The Chinese communiqué was extremely condescending: "Zhu and Sitar answered patiently the questions raised by the two representatives." It continued: "Zhu and Sitar pointed out that the riot in Lhasa on March 14 had given rise to new obstacles for resuming contacts… however, the central government still arranged this meeting with great patience and sincerity."
The Tibetans always seem to be in the position of a beggar holding out his bowl for meagre alms which are refused without fail. What is more shocking is the constant stream of insults against the 'Dalai and his clique' poured out by Beijing before, during and after the talks.
It should nevertheless be noted that for the first time, Beijing admitted that Lodi and his colleague were the Dalai Lama's private representatives. During earlier rounds of talks, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs had denied the presence of 'any special envoy' in China. To add insult to injury, he had once added that he had heard that "people with tight [sic] connections to the Dalai were visiting China to learn about Chinese policies, see friends and personally observe changes in Tibet under Chinese rule."
The unrest in Tibet and the forthcoming Olympic Games have brought small mercies!
If one goes deeper in history, whether it is a Buddhist way of being or not, one can see that the Tibetans have always been reticent to call a spade a spade. Tibet was invaded on October 7, 1950. For days, Lhasa refused to tell the world that the People's Liberation Army had marched into their country. It is only on October 26, that Xinhua News Agency issued a communiqué stating that the 'liberation' of Tibet had started. Robert Ford, the British radio operator posted in Eastern Tibet at that time wrote: "I could only think it was a matter of habit. The Lhasa government was so used to the policy of saying nothing that might offend or provoke the Chinese that it kept it on after provocation had become irrelevant. It was still trying to avert a war that had already broken out."
Nine months later, a 17-Point Agreement On Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet was signed between some Tibetan delegates and Chinese officials. The Dalai Lama explained: "The [delegates] were insulted and abused and threatened with personal violence, and with further military action against the people of Tibet, and they were not allowed to refer to me or my government for further instructions. This draft agreement was based on the assumption that Tibet was part of China. That was simply untrue, and it could not possibly have been accepted by our delegation without reference to me and my government, except under duress."
This agreement was however not denounced before April 1959, when the Dalai Lama reached Tezpur in Assam.
Apart from Tibetan shyness (or Buddhist compassion, whatever one calls it), the level of the talks is rather disturbing. In 1954-55, when the Dalai Lama first visited Beijing, he used to have regular formal and informal meetings with Mao Zedong and others senior Communist leaders. When he arrived in the Chinese capital, he was received with great pomp at the railway station by the Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other senior dignitaries.
Later in 1957, when the Tibetan leader came to India for the 2,500th anniversary of the Buddha Jayanti, he met the Chinese Premier several times and had in-depth discussions about Tibet and the welfare of his people.
At the end of the 70's and the 80's, Gyalo Thondup, the Dalai Lama's elder brother used to meet Deng Xiaoping, then China's Leader Maximo, to discuss Tibetan affairs. It is during one of these encounters in 1979 that Deng told Thondup that Beijing was ready to discuss everything except Tibet's independence.
Today even after six (and half) rounds of 'negotiations', the talks remain stuck. One of the reasons is that Lodi Gyari's interlocutors are non-entities in the party (Zhu Weiqun is a Vice-Minister which is equivalent to a Secretary-rank official) with no power of decision (but do they want to take any decision?).
There are basic unbridgeable differences between Dharamsala and Beijing. The Dalai Lama asks for a 'meaningful autonomy' for Tibet within a democratic set-up, while the leaders in China do not understand the concept of autonomy and can speak of 'intra-party democracy' only.
During the last National Congress, the 2,217 Congress delegates got some leeway to choose the 200 new Central Committee members. The delegates were allowed a higher "margin of elimination" (the Central Committee candidates nominated by the Standing Committee outnumbered the available seats by some 9%). This is democracy à la chinoise.
Ways of the party
The question is, therefore, can a democratically elected Tibetan government-in-exile accept today the ways of the Chinese Communist Party? The other hurdle in the 'negotiations' is that both parties hold a diametrically different geographical definition of Tibet. While the Dalai Lama speaks of 'historical Tibet' including all areas where ethnic Tibetans live, an article published on October 3, 2007 by China Today states, "there is no historical basis for an administrative division such as 'Greater Tibet' area... such an idea is totally absurd."
It is a fact that many Tibetans living in exile are from Tibetan areas outside the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). The Dalai Lama himself is from Amdo Province, Gyari and Samdhong Rinpoche are from Kham, all regions outside the TAR. The Chinese have argued that the Dalai Lama is stuck to his demand because "he needs to buy these people's support". China Today said that this "claim was designed by their foreign bosses and they, as their flunkies, dare not disobey it." It concluded: "The Chinese government will not be fooled!"
Flunkies or not, there is an insurmountable abyss between the two parties, particularly after the riots of March which demonstrated that the Tibetans of 'Greater Tibet' were united in their resentment against the Chinese.
The only solution to come out of the impasse would be that Premier Wen Jiabao and the Dalai Lama meet and try to sort out some of these thorny issues. But do the Chinese leaders agree amongst themselves on the Tibet issue? It is not sure.
Only the Dalai Lama can unite China
The Chinese are upset again
Flying the flag of Tibet
10 positive things about the recent events in Tibet

Florida Military Order of the Purple Heart Receives Newly Refurbished Vehicle
Transportation of Memorial Wall of Honor made possible by Sterling Autobody and Allstate Insurance.
The Orlando Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) received the gift of a newly refurbished vehicle courtesy of Allstate Insurance Company and Sterling Autobody Centers. Allstate and Sterling teamed up with the National Autobody Council's Recycled Rides vehicle-gifting program to present the group with a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, wrapped in a giant red, white and blue bow. Members of the MOPH accepted the keys from Sterling Vice President of Operations Bob Benjamin, colonel in the U.S. Army and active member of the US Army Reserves.
The gifting ceremony took place on April 23, the last day of Sterling's 2010 Leadership Conference. The ceremony was attended by Sterling and Allstate Leaders, members of the Orlando MOPH and technicians from Sterling's Orlando East location, the team that completed the renovation.
Nick Notte, Sterling Autobody president, NABC board member and chairman of Recycled Rides 2010, said, "I was extremely proud to be a part of this give a way. It is an honor to show our appreciation to the veterans and troops serving our country. The Sterling organization is made up of caring, dedicated and talented employees, many of whom are veterans themselves."
Commander James Holland added, "We greatly appreciate Sterling's support of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Department of Florida, in its mission of serving veterans in the state of Florida. The Dodge Grand Caravan is a beautiful vehicle and its primary mission will be to tow our war memorial to veteran's and patriotic events throughout the state."
In addition to the vehicle gifting, Sterling also made a $5,000 donation to NABC's Recycled Rides program on behalf their nearly 800 technicians, the unsung heroes of the collision repair industry. The donation will be used to recognize the donors of vehicles, labor and parts who make the Recycled Rides initiative one of the most meaningful in the inter-industry.
Recycled Rides is a community awareness project whereby members of the NABC repair and donate recycled vehicles to families in need throughout the United States. The goal for this year's national day of gifting, to take place the Monday prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, is 150 vehicles.

Mail Order Brides aren't a Punchline!
After spending 4 days in Anchorage talking about domestic violence in immigrant communities, I came home to the news that NBC's new sitcom "Mail Order Family" is based on the "comedic" premise of a Filipina Mail Order Bride moving to America to marry an American widower. This is beyond obscene. Please don't allow this show to sell ad space or even air a pilot episode. They must be prevented from profiting off the misery of mail order brides. I know you all have busy lives, but please read the petition and consider lending your support.


OBJECTIVE: To validate radial acquisition of volumetric interpolated breath hold examination (Radial-VIBE) and the controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA-VIBE) sequences for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) by comparing them to conventional VIBE sequence using a phantom. METHODS: On a DCE-MRI phantom containing various concentrations of NiCl2 solutions, six minutes of dynamic series and T1 mapping with variable flip angle methods were acquired using conventional VIBE, Radial-VIBE, and CAIPIRINHA-VIBE sequences on 3.0-T scanners. Signal stability and signal linearity were tested for dynamic series and the precision of R1 values were tested for T1 mapping series. The scans were repeatedly performed at two weeks and three months to test repeatability/reproducibility, assessed by within-subject coefficient of variation (WSCV). RESULTS: Signal stability over six minutes was excellent in all three sequences. Regarding the signal linearity, CAIPIRINHA-VIBE demonstrated the highest linear correlation (r=0.963), followed by conventional VIBE (r=0.959) and Radial-VIBE (r=0.953). Regarding the R1 precision, CAIPIRINHA-VIBE (r=0.985) was the most accurate, followed by conventional VIBE (r=0.861) and Radial-VIBE (r=0.442). CAIPIRINHA-VIBE showed excellent repeatability/reproducibility (WSCV, 1.79-6.71%) compared with Radial-VIBE (WSCV, 2.04-67.2%) and conventional VIBE (WSCV, 3.4-31.9%). CONCLUSION: In terms of signal stability, signal linearity, R1 precision, and repeatability/reproducibility, CAIPIRINHA-VIBE demonstrated outstanding performance for DCE-MRI compared with Radial-VIBE and conventional VIBE.

HSBC Connection Service
https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
Connection call numbers like these cost 13ppm plus your company's access charge. Contact Numbers UK provides a call forwarding service and are not associated with HSBC.
HSBC is one of the world's largest banking and financial services organisations. With more than 6,000 branches in both established and emerging markets, HSBC can always be found in markets where it can connect customers and opportunities.
Its aim is to support individuals and businesses to save, access and manage money in ways that enable them to achieve their life goals.
If you're wondering how to contact HSBC Customer Services in the UK, then simply dial HSBC Customer Services number 0871 423 0161.
The History of HSBC
HSBC was established in 1865, by Scotsman Thomas Sutherland, when he was working for The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. This may explain the story that the HSBC logo is based on the flag of St Andrew, the Saltire – although it's a red and white hexagon.
Sutherland recognised the demand for banking facilities locally in Hong Kong and on the China coast, so helped to set up the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). The first office in Hong Kong opened in March 1865, and the second a month later in Shanghai
Since the late 19th Century, the local Chinese population of Hong Kong has referred to the bank as 'Wayfoong'. Translated, this means 'focus of wealth'. By 1900, HSBC was operating in 16 countries and financing trade around the globe.
In 1992, HSBC merged with the Midland Bank, an operation as old as HSBC itself, in one of the biggest mergers in banking history. The business was rebranded in 1999 and HSBC became a well-known high street brand in the UK.
HSBC Today
Today, HSBC is one of the world's largest banking and financial services organisations. It serves almost 50 million customers from its four global businesses: Retail Banking and Wealth Management, Commercial Banking, Global Banking and Markets, and Global Private Banking.
HSBC's international network now covers 72 countries and territories in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and North America and Latin America. HSBC is listed on the London, Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Bermuda stock exchanges, and has around 213,000 shareholders in 131 countries and territories.
HSBC believes that its values reflect its heritage by helping people to make the best of their money in ways that fulfil goals and dreams. They believe these values define the organisation and provide HSBCs distinctive offer in the field of financial services. Their dependability might be best demonstrated by the fact that the first business investor on the Bank's books is still a customer today. There can be no better recommendation than that!
The Bank believes in delivering every commitment, responding to customers' needs and earning the trust of its clients. That's why the HSBC contact number 0871 423 0161 is manned by trained advisors, ready to give customers the help they need.
Their offering also includes:
International services – money transfers and exchanges
Borrowing – loans, mortgages, credit cards and overdrafts

Tesla Solar, Tesla Solar Glass & Tesla Solar Roof Review VS. 3 Incumbents (Energysage, Vivint, Sunrun) 2020
Last update: Sat Feb 22 2020
At electrade, we're huge fans of Tesla solar (ex Solarcity). A lot has changed about Tesla Solar since it launched, as Tesla still acts like a fast-moving startup. 2020 is the year they're ramping up their productions, and so we thought it's time to look at and compare Tesla's new offering (built out of Solarcity) vs. the incumbents.
Tesla is a brand synonymous with being pioneers of EV. Not only do they manufacture electric cars that are amazing for the environment, they also produce solar glass and solar roofs. These pieces of innovative technology go on your house and turn sunlight into electricity to run your entire household.
What is Tesla Solar Glass / Tesla Solar Roof?
They don't just look like solar panels, they actually come in different textured tiles. The newest version (version 3) is also called Tesla Solar Glass. Your roof needs to be built a certain way to enjoy the benefits of Tesla solar panels. With the latest introduction of the Tesla Solar Glass, more and more people are opting for this choice.
It will take quite a while to install and this includes the removal and disassembly of your old roof. While the quotes may vary from home to home, Tesla Solar Glass isn't too far off your other brand alternatives. To get a quote, Tesla experts will calculate your particular power usage based on your home layout to get the size of your recommended system size to replace your monthly bills plus have some left over!
All the piping and wiring go through conduits that are installed internally (perhaps in your attic) when then reroutes the energy into a DC converter and then from there it heads into your electrical box.
We have to add that aesthetically, the Tesla Solar Glass roof does have a leg up on competitors just with looks alone. You get sleek and textured tiles to hopefully upgrade the exterior of your house if you wish.
The Tesla Solar Glass is insured for 25 years and it will completely phase out your electrical bill once it's full functional.
What Makes It Special?
Other than the beautiful design from a reputable company, what exactly makes these roofs special compared to other options on the market?
Naturally, Tesla requires a deposit before work begins. A rep will subsequently contact you about a week or so later to take further steps to proceed. Depending on how large your house is and what you require, Tesla will then give you an approximate installation period (a week, a month, etc). Upon receiving your power bills needed for calculation, Tesla will then send you an order confirmation email. It may only be for one part or for the whole system.
At your convenience, Tesla will send a professional to do a site survey and walk-through. He or she will put up a solar meter for a more accurate estimate on how much solar power your house receives. When that's through, the contracts will be finalized and final signatures made.
You will then receive an installation schedule via email and your local utility company will be contacted by Tesla to work together on this project. The main panel should be put up before Tesla begins installation. By this point, you should also pay the first half of fee for the system if you haven't already.
When everything is set up and good to go, your local utility company needs to give the final go ahead before you can fire up the system.
Online-Only Purchase
If you do not want to do this in person, you have the option of making an online purchase. Simply head over to the Tesla website and click on solar roof. From here they will briefly describe to you what exactly the Solar Glass does. The Powerwall battery is responsible for storing the collected energy so you can have access at any time of the day.
As of now, Tesla has unveiled 4 different tiles for different results. You can choose from the textured tile, the Tuscan glass tile, slate and smooth. Then you pick your number of Powerwalls you want with your system. Afterwards, you fill in your contact information and submit the form. Tesla representatives should get in contact with you shortly.
Tesla solar tiles are made with more durability compared to traditional roofing tiles. The Powerwall ensures your home is powered even through outages. The tiles, power, and weatherization are all under a 25 year warranty.
Tesla's app is well-known to be the bleeding-edge of real-time data. See this great overview of what it can do in connection with a powerwall.
You don't need to get into the nitty gritty of the installation process as Tesla makes the procedure easy for you.
Everything starts with a deposit of $100. You will then receive a phone call from a representative from Tesla. We would take this opportunity to communicate exactly what it is you are looking for. Once everything is clear, an order will be sent to you for review. All the calculations and specs for your system should be included.
A professional will then be dispatched to your home to do a walkthrough and assessment. Once everything is finalized, your installation will be scheduled. When installation is done and you have the green light to start up the system, you can then download the app from where you can monitor your energy input and output and enjoy ongoing customer support from thoughtful Tesla representatives.
Let's take a look at formidable foes of the Tesla Solar Glass.

Vivint Solar
Get a quote from the leading solar installer in the USA.
Vivint Solar aims to equip homes with affordable energy. They offer you a cleaner, safer and more convenient alternative by taking on all the hard work with little to no upfront cost.
They offer solar energy systems that include the designing process and installation. You can also look into storing your gathered energy with their solar storage batteries. If you drive an EV (electric vehicle), Vivint also produces at-home chargers for your convenience. Take full control of your home with the Vivint Smart Home technology to fully automate your residence.
Unfortunately, Vivint isn't available nation-wide but are available in these states.
If you are not looking to replace your entire roof and just simple upgrades around the house is enough, then Vivint is a good place to start.
Let's take a look at how much it costs to install a Tesla Solar Glass roof VS. traditional solar panels.
Tesla Solar Glass
While the accurate price is solely dependent on your abode, Tesla has given as estimate for the average joe. A standard property owner will be looking at dishing out about $21.85 per sq ft. You can do the math from there depending on the square footage of your home. But average households are looking at anywhere between 30-50k.
Whether it's worth it or not also depends on your unique situation. If you are not looking or don't need to replace your entire roof, then Tesla solar panels may not be necessary. Installation of traditional solar panels could be viable until the day you decide to replace your roof.
As you can imagine, for those that need their roofs replaced or want it to be replaced anyway, or are looking to build their dream home from scratch could benefit from the overhaul that is required to install Tesla Solar Glass.
The final option is if you have the money to spend, then lucky you and why not replace your roof? It will save you money in the long run (hopefully).
Solar panels do not require you to uproot your roof, they are a simple (but not so simple to install) add-on to your property. You also have different options for solar panels. You can choose between an off-grid system, a grid-tie system, or a grid-tie and energy storage.
You are looking at about $3/watt. With this tidbit of information, you can then try and calculate your costs based on the system size. In general, solar panels cost less than the Tesla Solar Glass.
So is it worth it? Let's attempt to answer this million dollar question.
We believe the quality (save initial hiccups since it's a relatively new product), is superior on Tesla Solar Glass. They are also insured for 25 years and service is available to you all-year round. From our research, Tesla Solar Glass costs more but produces less than 80% of the amount of solar power. However, with stored energy and Tesla's continuous improvement, it could make for a much more reliable product.

The synthesis of literature and visual art in Alexander Djikia's works
Date(s) 30 May — 03 June 2007
Address Helexpo, Athens, Greece
Alexander Djikia's works always bind imagery to a text, and this is how they arrive at a strikingly original synthesis between literature and visual art. Having been trained as an architect, the artist turns each of his works into a carefully thought out project combining intellectual calculation with brilliant improvisation. Djikia's themes are exceptionally diverse — from dreams to grotesque domestic scenes to subjects derived from ancient Greek art.
Katharevousa, the large series of graphics being presented by the Stella Art Foundation in its Art Athina 2007 programme, belongs to the latter set of Djikia's themes. However, its ancient Greek ancestry is not so straightforward. At one point the artist began learning Greek with the aid of a textbook written by the priest Sophocles Andriades and published in Great Britain. The grammatical examples (in Greek) from that primer became the inscriptions on each sheet in the series. The images themselves are in the style of ancient Greek vase paintings from the pre-classical era. Their stylization, however, is quite tentative. The artist does regularly show figures in silhouette and in profile, while separate features of the body (such as the noses, chins, breasts and phalluses) protrude from them with a completely archaic expressiveness. Nevertheless, there is no suggestion here of the geometric or of the ancient "order", and all the subjects (which are also grammar book examples) are handled with psychological accuracy.
The artist's admiring yet free-wheeling attitude toward the source of his inspirations applies as much to the underlying technique as to the content. To begin with, he applies a thick layer of dull red pigment to paper with uneven edges. Like a sculptor or vase painter, he then removes or clears away the background to arrive at the forms he needs and finally incises it with the minimum details, including the Greek text. His works become profoundly organic through this fusion of visual and technical components. One could even say that Djikia's art exists like organic matter: it produces all the forms and meanings that existed within it from the beginning — already in the idea and in the core of the image.

With modern Information Technology (IT) concepts like machine learning and artificial intelligence, an organisations data has become more valuable than ever before. The biggest hurdle for organisation is how to get the data you already have to somewhere where you can start to build value from that data.
Operational Technology (OT), like SCADA systems and Building Management System have existing in one form or another for decades, and provide the robust monitoring and control that keeps industry ticking over. Many organisation seperate IT and OT into different areas of authority and responsibility, and different process and approaches often make integration of IT and OT a very difficult task.
The INDICIUM DataBus works like an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to provide an easy to configure and manage platform for the exchange of data between technology domains. The complexities of integrating with a variety of different technologies in both domains has been simplified into easy to configure plugins leveraging existings standards and interfaces.
The INDICIUM DataBus makes integration of data sources painless. The user interface manages all aspects of confuration allowing you to setup data sources and data feeds easily and with confidence.
The plugin architecture provides a number of default integration options such as OPC, OLE DB and REST, while also allowing for unique data source plugins to be created using either the in-built IronPython plugin, or through implementation of custom .NET class libraries.
Installation, upgrade and the basics.
What can you talk to and how does it work?
Use scripts to automate configuration and to manipulate data.
What problems has the INDICIUM DataBus solved?
Find out about what you can do with your license.
The Indicium DataBus features an HTML 5 interface for configuration and testing of all data sources and transformations, and the building of custom dashboards to allow you to view your data. The user interface uses responsive design techniques to adjust itself to the size of the device, allowing you to use it on desktop computers through to smart phones and tablets.
Create and manage datasources and processing pipelines through an easy to use browser based interface. As you add new config or make changes to existing config, the DataBus responds instantly allowing you to gather feedback about what you've done.
Once you've mastered whats needed to process your data, the user interface allows you to copy that configuration so you can apply it to more and more data inputs. This allows you to build complex processing pipelines and apply them to multiple times with minimal effort.
The DataBus captures a variety of parameters around the performance of the system, including data throughput parameters, and exception logging.
Any errors captured by the DataBus will be displayed through the user interface, allowing you to track down what part of the system is not working as expected and why.
The DataBus can also be used to directly monitor its host environment or others. Direct support for WMI allows the DataBus to query for server parameters such as CPU usage, available memory or disk and thousands more.
Build dashboards that merge real-time data and historical data into a view that's right for you. The easy to use dashboard designer means you can make complex dashboards with minimal effort. You can even use your real-time dashboards as a low cost alternative to an HMI.
Plugins simplify the interface into the systems and allow for clean and easy data sychronisation events to be setup. The list of available plugins and features continues to grow, bringing the simplicity of the INDICUM DataBus to more and more opportunities.
The INDICIUM DataBus can use a variety of technologies to connect to OT systems such as SCADA and Building Management Systems (BMS). Most modern SCADA systems provide standards based interfaces for external systems to use for data access. The INDICIUM DataBus supports OPC DA (Data Access), HDA (Historical Data Access) and UA (Unified Architecture).
Alternatively the INDICIUM DataBus can be used to communicate directly with Remote Telemetry Units (RTU) over a variety of protocols including MODBUS, DNP3 and PAKBUS.
The INDICIUM DataBus features direct support for a number of different databases including: Microsoft SQL Server, Azure Storage Tables, MySQL and OLE/DB.
OLE/DB allows for integration with a variety of different database technologies including hisorian products like OSI PI Historian.
Specialised software packages exist in a variety of industries for managing specific types of data. In the water management industry, packages like AQUARIUS TimeSeries are widely used for the management of hydrological data.
Where the INDICIUM DataBus does not directly support integration with a particular system, plugins can be developed by the customer and loaded into the DataBus. Alternatively, customised integration logic can be written in Python or C# directly into the DataBus itself, allowing near infinite customisation.
The INDICIUM DataBus can read and write data from a variety of different file formats including specific CSV formats for systems such as Hydstra TSM, AQUARIUS TimeSeries, AQUARIUS Forecast and Delft FEWS. Files can also be watched for changes, allowing for rapid ingestion of new data written to files by other systems.
Cloud platforms like Azure make it very easy for organisations to store large amounts of data in the cloud. The INDICIUM DataBus allows for data to be written directly and securely into cloud data stores like Azure Storage Tables or SQL Server.
Data can also be synchronised using protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT or AMQP. This allows you to tailor your cloud integration to match your operational and security requirements.
Not all plugins are about reading and writing data. The INDICIUM DataBus includes a number of plugins for the real-time analysis and manipulation of data. This includes plugins for aggregation of data and the execution of customisable scripts.
Scripts can be written in Python or C#, with an evolving set of API's avialable to make it easier to work with your data. This allows you to bring intelligence to the edge, with smarts deployed near the source of the data rather than in the cloud.
Indicium Dynamics is a member of the OPC Foundation. OPC is a standard based interface into operational technologies like PLC's and SCADA systems.
Managed when your data is synchronised. Choose a time or frequency, execute manually, or automatically respond when new data becomes available.
Use the flexibility of CRON expressions to explicitly specify when you want your events to fire. CRON will let you explicitly align your schedule in the DataBus with the expected schedule for data availability.
Specify events to fire at a fixed repeating interval. Intervals can range from 1 second through to days. These simple schedules allow you to quickly setup automated replication where the exact time of the event is not critical.
Where supported by the data source, the DataBus can recieve notificaitons and automatically process your data. This allows you to work with realtime data with minimal latency. Protocols like OPC allow you to subscribe to live data, allowing you to access data within milliseconds of it becoming available.
You chose exactly when you want to access the data either by viewing the data on a dashboard, or pressing a button to fire the event. An event can also be programmed to fire on demand using rules written in a script.
Deploy to Windows using .NET Framework 4.7 or .NET Core 2.0. Choosing .NET Core will provide a higher level of efficiency and performance, but will limit some options for integration in a Windows environment. Choosing .NET Framework will allow for integration with Windows features like WMI, OLE/DB, IronPython and classic OPC.
Deploy to Azure using .NET Framework 4.7 or .NET Core 2.0. Use the DataBus to stream data between systems and use the dashboard features to build real-time data interfaces to simplify data access and interpretation.
Deploy to a low cost device such as a Raspberry Pi. With most functionilty available on these devices, you can connect remote assets to the cloud using a variety of OT protocols including Modbus, DNP3 and OPC UA.
Deploy to Linux devices using Docker containers for simple standalone installations. The Docker container houses everything you need to get the INDICIUM DataBus up and running.

In February of 2017 a group of parents met to discuss technology and together we were able to unpack the school's vision, which includes the responsible, collaborative and creative use of technology. The purpose of the discussion was to deepen the understanding of digital fluency by exploring examples happening at the school, and to see the opportunities that are available for your child and you in the future.
Technology in the hands of passionate, engaged and responsible educators has the potential to provide a rich and deep experience in the classroom for students, parents and the broader community. Our students can demonstrate their learning in different ways through the digital media platforms; parents can be connected to the experiences of their child through apps; and students can connect with other students from around the world.
With all of the excitement, and potential, we must not lose sight of the fact that at the heart of great education is the relationship between teacher and student. With this technology vision, and with your support, we can provide additional tools that will deepen the learning experience, and, enhance the relationship that your child has with their learning.
School Council is committed to supporting this technology fundraising initiative while also continuing to support other program areas such as the arts, music, athletics and extra-curricular events. To kick things off we invite you to read the budget below and instructions on how you can make a difference and help us achieve our goal.
Thanks to many families we have already reached many milestones; all teachers have their own iPad, Apple TV and projector and most of the classrooms have the 10 iPads/accessories that have been requested.Once the remaining four classrooms are outfitted Mr. Taylor will look at the French, music and Library spaces.)Our appreciation to those families is great and we hope that more will participate in 2018 – 2019.Remember – tax receipts will be issued and you can give more than once. If you have any questions you can ask Suzie in the office or email givinsshawcouncil@gmail.com and we can either answer you or direct you to the right place.Please note that Principal Dan Taylor is always available to elaborate on the technology vision, execution plan, evaluation or demonstrations.
