FG, South Africa to Implement Mining Pact
Nigeria and South Africa on Tuesday in Abuja dusted a Memorandum of Understanding on mining collaboration signed in 2013 and endorsed a two-year implementation plan beginning from January 2017.
The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; and his South African counterpart, Mr. Mosebenzi Zwane, endorsed the two-year implementation plan worked out by a joint technical committee set up in June.
The plan, a follow up to the meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari; and the South African President, Jacob Zuma, earlier in the year, is scheduled to commence in January and will be concluded by December 2018.
Tuesday's meeting was also attended by the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Mr. Abubakar Bwari, and some top officials of the Nigerian Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, while the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Lulu Mnguni, also attended with other top officials of his country's Ministry of Mineral Resources.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Fayemi and Zwane said they were optimistic that the economic and technical cooperation between Nigeria and South Africa in the areas of geology, mining and mineral processing, among others, would advance the economies of both nations.
A communiqué issued at the end of the meeting identified 10 strategic areas of cooperation. These include geology, regulatory framework and licensing; mineral processing; metallurgy; artisanal and small scale mining; investment promotion; and capacity building.

London Real Estate Company for African Investors Announces its Launch
Wetherby Real Estate, which has been created to source and acquire luxury Serviced Accommodation in Prime Central London on behalf of global investors, has announced its launch. It will be specialising in investment opportunities for High Net Worth individuals from the African continent, although its service is open to investors from all over the world.
The business has been launched by Barbara Chanakira, founder and CEO of the Mayfair based Eaton Property Consultants, another acquisition service but one which purchases a range of residential assets for HNWIs. She has almost 15 years' experience in the luxury residential sector, overseeing huge property portfolios for HNWIs from across the globe which include those of Gulf State Royal Families and high-profile celebrities.
Wetherby will be operating exclusively in one of Europe's fastest growing residential classes, Serviced Accommodation. It will only acquire real estate in Prime Central London and tap into huge demand from a global investment audience, which has grown significantly over the last few years as the U.K's Serviced Accommodation market continues to flourish. Wetherby considers PCL to be one of the globe's safest and most lucrative investment destinations.
The company is registered in Gibraltar but will be operating out of its London headquarters. Investments are made through the company's affiliated wealth managers and an FCA regulated Custodian, and Wetherby completes the real estate acquisitions through its UK-incorporated Special Purpose Vehicle. It has already identified a number of attractive prospects in London's prime postcodes and it plans to expand into other real estate sectors in the future.
Chanakira will be joined by Simon Hall and Augustina Ogbebor, who bring a combined total of over 35 years of experience in investment and advisory services and will be occupying the roles of Non-Executive Director and Head of Investor Relations, respectively.
Hall has over 20 years' experience advising HNWIs and global corporations on growth and investments, working closely with international developments banks and clients within emerging markets.
Ogbebor's 16 years in investment banking has seen her work with the likes of JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie and Lotus Capital Ltd; one of Nigeria's most prestigious fund managers and where she was head of business development.
Barbara Chanakira, CEO of Wetherby Real Estate Ltd, said:
"London's Serviced Accommodation market has an extremely bright future ahead, which has been compounded by changes taking place in the economy and society more broadly. The ongoing influence of Covid 19 has meant that lower operating costs, better social distancing and self catering benefits have enhanced its appeal, whilst the evolution of an increasingly transient workforce puts the sector in poll position to build upon its rapid growth of the last few years.
London has an immovable social, cultural and economic appeal, and our intricate knowledge of its luxury real estate market as well as our carefully designed investment structure makes for an extremely attractive proposition. We have already identified a number of attractive opportunities and look forward to offering them to our network of investors from Africa and beyond."
2021's Major Investment Risks – but Why it Could be a Year of Massive Opportunity
Investment headwinds will "still exceed the tailwinds" in 2021 – but there could be more "major opportunities now than in perhaps the last 10 years" if you know where to look.
This is the bold and, given 2020, perhaps surprisingly optimistic forecast from Nigel Green, chief executive and founder of deVere Group, one of the world's largest independent financial advisory and fintech organisations.
It comes as investors around the world focus on rebalancing portfolios for 2021, after a year no-one expected.
Mr Green says: "2020 was a year for which nobody had planned.
"This included investors, many of whom were caught spectacularly off-guard by not having properly diversified portfolios, which left them open to untold financial risks.
"Looking ahead to 2021, it is likely that investment headwinds will still exceed the tailwinds – but, I believe, that there are also more major investment opportunities to be had in the next year than perhaps in the last decade."
'Headwinds' are the factors that likely weigh on growth and returns, and 'tailwinds' are those that can be expected to boost growth and help drive positive returns.
He continues: "The major long-term headwind from the fallout of 2020 is unemployment, which will hit demand, growth and investment.
"There's also the roll-out of a mass global vaccination agenda which will be a lengthy process and logistical minefield, plus there are the 'vaccine sceptic' concerns to address.
"Meanwhile there are geopolitical issues that could impact on investor returns. These include the significant readjustment that will need to happen following Brexit, U.S.-China trade relations which are likely to become increasingly competitive especially in the tech sector, and the rising border tensions between India and China, amongst others."
However, despite the significant headwinds, the deVere CEO flags three major investment tailwinds in 2021.
"First, the rollout of the Covid vaccines which means economies can be expected to begin solid recoveries," he says.
"Second, President-elect Joe Biden will enter office and his administration promises a more predictable approach to trade and foreign affairs – and the markets like certainty.
"And third, it is likely that governments will continue to offer fiscal support packages as their economies recover from the pandemic, offering a 'floor' for markets."
Mr Green goes on to add: "To quote Einstein, 'In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity.'
"This is why, after such a monumental crisis, I believe that if you know where to look and act appropriately to build your wealth, there could be plenty of key opportunities to come.
"The pandemic has accelerated history, speeding up and exacerbating major trends in just a few months, that ordinarily might have taken decades to be fully realised."
He maintains that the global economy, how we live, do business and interact remains fundamentally changed. "It is doubtful the world will go back exactly to how it was pre-Covid – there are many aspects of the 'new normal' which people like and support, just a home working. As such, some of the major shifts are unlikely to be reversed," he notes.
"As such, investors need to look for the lower entry points of quality companies to top-up their portfolios and, critically, they need to bear in mind how the world has changed.
"Their portfolios must reflect the future, not the past."
Mr Green concludes: "Headwinds will surpass tailwinds in 2021 as the world readjusts, but it's essential that investors stay invested. As we know, history has shown us that stock markets tend to go up over the long-term.
"But as the world moves ahead to a post-pandemic era, it's crucial that investors ensure their portfolios are suitably diversified across asset classes, sectors, currencies and regions, so as to make the most of the considerable opportunities that will inevitably present themselves."
Global Deal Activity Down by 4.5% in October 2020
Temitayo Sikiru
A total of 6,304 deals were announced globally during October 2020, which is a decrease of 4.5% over the 6,598 deals announced during September, according to GlobalData, a leading data, and analytics company. An analysis of GlobalData's Financial Deals Database revealed that the deal volume during October remained below the monthly average of Q3 2020.
Aurojyoti Bose, the Lead Analyst at GlobalData, comments: "After demonstrating growth for four consecutive months, the deal volume shrank in October. The decline in deal activity could be attributed to inconsistencies across different regions. The APAC region remained a weak spot, while deal activity remained mostly flat in North America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region witnessed growth in deal activity."
North America attracted the highest number of investments, followed by APAC, Europe, the MEA, and South, and Central America.
The uncertain global economic landscape lowered the deal volume in October for major markets such as the US, Germany, Australia, France, India, and China compared to the previous month. On the contrary, the UK, Japan, South Korea, and Canada saw growth of 15.6%,14.9%, 3.8%, and 2.2%, respectively, in October as compared to September's deal volume.
Bose continued: "Most of the deal types witnessed a decline in volume during October compared to the previous month. Private equity, equity offerings, venture financing, debt offerings, and partnership deals volume decreased by a respective 2.4%, 9.1%, 9.8%, 14.6%, and 24.6% – while the deal volume for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) increased by 7.2%."

Over 150 refugees 'thrown' into Yemen sea, 13 missing
Countries, Europe, Help Refugees, Human Rights
More refugees and migrants have been "deliberately drowned" by human smugglers for the second time in 24 hours off the coast of Yemen, according to the United Nations migration agency.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement late on Thursday that its staff found six bodies on the beach – two male and four female – and 13 people are still missing.
It said 84 migrants left the beach before IOM staff arrived while it provided emergency medical assistance as well as food and water to 57 surviving migrants.
The UN migration agency said 160 Ethiopian migrants were violently forced into the Arabian Sea on Thursday.
"It is indeed a very dramatic situation," Laurent de Boeck, the agency's chief for Yemen, told Al Jazeera from Brussels on Thursday.
"They were in a boat with smugglers, who dropped them at sea before arriving at the shore. Some people have disappeared. But others were actually buried by their friends on the beaches."
De Boeck said the incident was reported by some of the survivors, whom he described as "exhausted and under shock".
"This situation is new," he said, adding that "it is the first time" that his agency documented people being forced out of the boats by smugglers before reaching the shores.
De Boeck said that the civil war in Yemen and the collapse of the state have allowed "criminal networks to act freely", endangering many refugees and migrants.

Can I Play Slots Online for Real Money?
The answer is a resounding yes, you can certainly play slots online for real money.
Video slots are the games most often associated with online gambling and it is pretty much a given that there will be slots in the vaults of any online casino.
Slot machines had always been popular in casino halls and other establishments, and it seemed inevitable that online slots would attract similar favour.
This proved to be the case and online slots have become the go-to choice for numerous online players.
In spite of an enormous selection of real money online slots, there are some which have proven to be the most popular of them all.
Gonzo's Quest was a trailblazer of a slot which hit the market in 2011. The NetEnt creation popularised the avalanche feature, which can increase the winnings of players after a winning spin has struck.
After every win, the symbols which formed the winning combination disappear, allowing other symbols to replace them, resulting in potentially more wins. What's more, these wins can have multipliers attached to them.
This slot is, slightly controversially, based on the exploits of a conquistador-style character. The graphics of this slot are superb, and it remains one of the most popular slots around.
Another NetEnt slot, Starburst is perhaps the most popular online slot of them all. There is nothing innovative about Starburst and it is, in reality, a very simple games, all based around the combination of sparkling jewels.
However, Starburst is addictive and enjoys unrivaled popularity.
The sequel to the original Thunderstruck has proved to be an even popular game. Created by Microgaming, this slot is all based on Norse mythology.
Thunderstruck II is a joy to spin with exceptional graphics and gameplay, and there are a number of exciting bonus features to enjoy too.
If you have browsed the collection of games at most online casinos, you will have noticed there are usually hundreds of online slots sitting there.
Slots fill the majority of online casino's catalogues and are usually the most prominently displayed games on the homepage of casinos.
And this comes as no surprise. Slots are the most popular type of online casino games, with new titles continuously entering the market.
Video slots come in many different forms. For example, some slots are based on the classic fruit machine style with three reels and very basic gameplay.
On the other hand, some slots are beautiful creations with stunning visuals and inventive features. These types of slots often resemble video games rather than casino games.
As the online gambling industry continues to grow, software houses are in a constant process of innovating and developing sublime online slots.
The creativity and invention that goes into these slots from the visuals, to the audio and features is impressive to say the least.
The following developers are ones which invariably develop outstanding slots and are at the forefront of the creation of exciting games.
There are some steps you need to take before you can start spinning the reels, and the first of those is the registration process.
Ordinarily, you can sign-up to an online casino without any trouble. Begin by heading to the homepage of the casino.
At the top of the page, you will usually see a box in which you can enter log-in details. Here, you should also spot a register or sign-up button – click it.
Once you have completed the registration process, you may need to respond to an email to confirm the registration. Once this has been done, you can officially call yourself a player at your chosen casino.
Some casinos may also ask for additional identification, but this is the exception rather than the norm.
Once you have completed all the necessary registration procedures, the next step is to deposit some money at the online casino.
Depositing, just like registering, is a straightforward process. Once you are registered and signed-in, head to the homepage of the casino.
A deposit button can usually be found from the top of this page. Otherwise, search through the different categories for the deposit button. If you can't seem to find it, just get in touch with the customer service team who should be more than willing to help you.
The deposit page will display all the different depositing methods available to you. The options available to you vary among different casinos.
So, to actually make a deposit, click on your choice of depositing method and follow through the steps before confirming your transaction.
Nowadays, most payments should be processed immediately and will be sitting in your casino bank balance as soon as the transaction is completed.
And then, it's onto the action.
Slots are some of the most enjoyable online casino games. With the information here, you have all you need to get started on an exciting journey of slot action.
If this article has tickled your fancy, you know what you need to do.

Global Savings Group acquires leading French Cashback Company iGraal
Munich, 23 March 2020 - The Global Savings Group (GSG) and M6 Group have reached a deal on a take over of the leading French cashback player iGraal. The transaction involves a partial acquisition in cash for an amount of 35 million euros and an exchange of shares. With iGraal valued at 123.5 million euros (subject to adjustment), GSG acquires France's biggest digital cashback player. The deal over iGraal is one of the largest transactions in the industry in recent years. In 2019, GSG and iGraal jointly saw more than six million members using its loyalty tools and connected advertisers to around 400 million consumers. The deal makes GSG the largest digital rewards, savings and shopping content platform in Europe.
After the 2018 takeover of the UK loyalty specialist Pouch, the addition of iGraal's digital cashback solution now enables GSG to cover the full online shopping cycle of consumers with Commerce Content. With the new synergies created by the combination of cashback, voucher codes, rewards, and shopping content, GSG greatly expands its reach, addressing additional types of shoppers and broadening its access points to consumers through dedicated web, app, and extension experiences. GSG intends to also enable its strategic partnerships with some of the world's most reputable publishers, including L'Express, Burda, El Pais or CNN to take advantage of the new offering and monetization opportunities for its audiences.
The Munich-based company expects to have more than half a billion shopping-related touchpoints and to facilitate over 40 million transactions to its merchant partners in 2020. The additional user interactions provide GSG with valuable new insights into the shopping behavior of millions of consumers worldwide and enable it to build an even smarter advertising platform for its partners.
With iGraal, the leader on the French digital cashback market joins the GSG family. iGraal brings deep expertise in member acquisition and digital marketing, strong and long-term partnerships with top e-merchants and state-of-the-art technology in the loyalty segment. Together, iGraal and GSG intend to further expand their cashback and loyalty solutions into new European markets and significantly increase their member base and reach. Despite strong investments and market expansion, GSG expects to stay profitable also in 2020.
Gerhard Trautmann, co-founder and CEO of the Global Savings Group: "The acquisition of iGraal is another significant step on our way to becoming a new European champion. Our various consumer models enable us to reach millions of shoppers worldwide and help them to make smarter purchasing decisions. Contrary to payment providers, we reach our users early in the shopping funnel, before the actual transaction takes place. Together with our publishing partners, our more holistic product offering can satisfy an even greater amount of consumers in their shopping journey."
Matthias Lesterlin, CEO of iGraal: "We are very happy to become a part of the Global Savings Group. This new cooperation provides us with the perfect conditions to launch iGraal and grow our cashback community in new markets. Joining forces with GSG, I am confident we will become Europe's biggest cashback provider and significantly increase our presence globally."

Introduced in 1995, the Taurus Model 605 was designed as a beefier option to the slightly smaller Taurus Model 85. While the Model 85 was only chambered in .38 Special, the 605 is only chambered in the more powerful .357 Magnum.
Click here or scroll down to see all the Taurus Model 605 holster options we carry
Like the Model 85, the Taurus 605 is also a five-shot revolver that comes in models with a full hammer and models with a bobbed hammer. The models equipped with a full hammer operate as double action and single action, while the bobber hammer models are double action only. The bobbed hammer models were specifically designed for concealed carry as the hammerless design was less prone to snag on something during the draw.
Like many Taurus revolver models, the Model 605's are equipped with an internal lock to lock the action safely with a key. In addition to the internal lock, the 605 comes with a transfer bar safety that protects the firing pin from being hit unless the trigger is pulled.
Taurus offers the standard Model 605 in versions finished in black oxide and versions finished in stainless steel.
Note – In 2011, Taurus introduced another variant of the Model 605 called the 605 Poly Protector. This version is substantially different from the standard Model 605 as it features a polymer-based frame and a slightly different barrel configuration.
Taurus Model 605 Holster Options
With its 2" barrel and the ability to shoot .357 or .38 Special ammo, the 605 is a popular option for concealed carry and general self-defense. Because of its popularity, several different holster styles on the market work well for the 605.
Taurus 605 IWB holster
IWB is a popular acronym for "inside the waistband," and it's commonly used to describe a holster style worn inside the waist or inside the pants. With an IWB holster, the bulk of the 605 revolver is hidden within the waistline of the pants. The level of concealment makes IWB one of the most popular holster styles for the Model 605.
Our top-selling inside the waistband holsters for the 605 are these models: (Which can all be seen below)
Don Hume H715M WCS IWB
MTR Custom Adversary IWB
Don Hume H715M IWB
MTR Custom Slimline IWB
Taurus 605 Pocket Holster
Another popular method of carrying the 605 is via a pocket holster. Most pocket holster styles are designed for either the front pocket or the rear pocket. The front pocket holster option seems to be a much better choice for the 605.
Our best-selling front pocket holsters for the 605 are these:
Don Hume 001 Front Pocket
MTR Custom Front Pocket
Taurus 605 OWB Holsters
If IWB or pocket carry are not viable, another potential holster style is an OWB holster. OWB is a commonly used acronym for "Outside the Waistband," and it simply means that the holster is attached to the belt and rides on the outside of the waist.
Outside the waistband holsters are also frequently called belt holsters as well. This holster style usually mounts to the belt using belt slots but can also use leather snaps for mounting.
Here are our top-selling OWB holsters for the Model 605:
Don Hume JIT Slide
MTR Custom Slimline Pancake
MTR Custom Dual Carry IWB/OWB
Taurus 605 Ankle Holster
Another potential holster option for the Taurus M605 is an ankle holster. This style of holster attaches to the ankle using a strap and is concealed by the pants leg.
Ankle holsters generally use an integrated thumb break or security strap to ensure that the revolver stays in the holster until needed. However, since the security strap uses the hammer on the 605 to help secure the revolver, the ankle holster may not be the best option for a Taurus 605 with a bobbed hammer.
Our most popular ankle holster for the 605 is this model:
Here are some of the frequently asked questions that we see regarding holster options for the Taurus 605 revolver:
Will a Taurus 605 fit in Taurus Model 85 holster?
Although the 605 and 85 are slightly different revolver models, the standard Model 605 will fit into a holster made for the Model 85. However, a Model 605 Poly Protector will NOT fit a holster made to fit the Model 85. If you are shopping for a holster for the Taurus Model 85, those are listed here: Taurus Model 85 Holsters.
What's the best concealed carry holster for a Taurus 605?
That's a tricky question to answer because it's based on opinions and experiences. Also, there are many variables associated with trying to answer that question. For example, variables such as climate, body type, and typical attire play a significant role in holster selection.
However, we find that IWB holsters for the 605 are the top-selling models in terms of popularity. Our single best-selling holster for the 605 is the MTR Custom Adversary IWB holster.
Will a Taurus 605 Protector Poly fit in a holster made for the metal Taurus 605?
Our experience has been that the Poly Protector 605 revolver will not fit into a holster made for the steel 605 revolvers. This is because the polymer version has different dimensions compared to the metal version. If you're shopping for a holster for the 605 Poly Protector, those can be seen here: Taurus 605 Poly Protector Holsters.
Will the 605 fit a holster made for a Taurus 856?
Unfortunately, it won't, as the Taurus 856 has a slightly wider cylinder compared to the Model 605, so the 605 ends up fitting loose in an 856 holster.
Does the stainless steel Taurus 605 fit in the same holster as the blued 605?
The stainless and blued Model 605 are the same size and fit a holster made for the 605.
All the holster models shown below are available in a version to fit the Taurus Model 605 2".

VALLEY VOICE
Valley Voice: Let's use local resources to tackle California's electric utility woes
Debra Vogler
Special to The Desert Sun
I have written before in this space about the need for a decentralized energy generation and distribution system ("Green power moves can bolster national security," Desert Sun, March 20, 2017), such as can be done with microgrids and other technologies. I have also advocated for a comprehensive innovation strategy ("We need a national technological innovation strategy," Desert Sun, April 3, 2018) that would enhance U.S. competitiveness on the global stage and drive the future of our economy.
The near-year round wildfire events in our state and the breakdown of PG&E as a viable utility only point to the growing imperative to tackle these issues head on — and quickly.
Hardening the grid, undergrounding of utilities, restructuring PG&E, requiring that all utilities adequately maintain equipment, etc., are well-known needs — Gov. Gavin Newsom has come out for all of these things and plans are underway by various agencies and commissions to address them. But where is a comprehensive plan that would take full advantage of all the innovation and technology available to us to ensure that we can weather large-scale natural and man-made disasters (e.g., a cyber attack on our electrical grids, water treatment systems, oil and gas distribution systems, etc.)?
One approach that I believe needs attention — locally, if not nationally — was explained in a recent NPR interview ("Take Two," with A Martinez, KPCC radio, Oct. 24, 2019) with Professor Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at UC-Irvine.
Brouwer made an excellent case for utilizing fuel cell technology in conjunction with battery storage that is used along with solar and wind technology to comprise a microgrid.
The concept, which uses existing gas pipeline infrastructure, has been evaluated by UCI for almost a decade. The campus has been a microgrid for about two years and serves a campus of about 50,000 people every day. A microgrid enables power to be generated and shared locally even if the main utility has to shut down power to an entire region.
There are many reasons why it is critical that we get our arms around a solution for our electric power needs in an era of climate change. Undergrounding of electric distribution systems can cost about $5 million per mile in urban areas, and also is time-consuming (e.g., it will take PG&E five years to do so in Paradise, according to a May 2019 L.A. Times piece. Brush clearing and tree trimming is a daunting and never-ending task — and it is not a panacea.
We have a local expert and a National Fuel Cell Research Center near our Coachella Valley. Perhaps it is time our local elected officials take advantage of this resource to ensure that we are able to stay safe and have as little inconvenience as possible during whatever Mother Nature or cyberterrorists might throw at us. If there are such plans already in the making, please let the public know.

6.6kW & 7kW solar systems: Prices, output & return on investment
By Solar Choice Staff on 3 October, 2019
These days, depending on your state, the size range for a residential solar system is ordinarily between 3kW and 5kW. With 5kW being one of the most popular system sizes in the country – 7kW is only a bit above average, and not much of a stretch economically for households with a flexible budget for a solar system.
How many solar panels in a 7kW solar system? How much area required?
A 7kW solar system using 275 watt (W) to 320W modules will consist of about 25-28 panels.
Each panel generally measures out to about 1.7m2, so the roof area required for a 7kW system will be about 40-48m2 – or possibly more depending on how your roof is laid out and whether you require tilt frames (which need to be spaced out more than panels mounted flush on the roof).
Pricing for 7kW solar systems
Solar Choice publishes a monthly Solar PV Price Index that tracks average pricing trends in every capital city in Australia.According to Solar Choice's own data, the average 7kW solar system price in Australia as of October 2019 is about $1.03 per watt – or about $7,220, with a low of $0.53/W and a high of about $1.43/W.
The table below, from October 2019, provides a snapshot of price trends for 7kW solar systems in capital cities around the country.
Historic pricing for 7kW solar systems through to October 2019.
Compare quotes from up to 7 installers in your area now.
Typical power output 7kW solar system
Depending a number of factors, the actual power output of a 7kW solar power system will vary. These factors include:
-Geographic location (e.g. Darwin generates much more energy than Hobart)
–Orientation and tilt angle of the solar panel array
–The degree to which the panels are shaded by nearby objects
-Operating temperature of the panels
The table below provides some rough guidelines as to how much energy you can reasonably expect a north-facing 7kW solar system (operating at a 75% efficiency ratio) to produce in Australia's capital cities. Please note that the figures in the table are daily averages; in reality, a system will produce more energy in the longer days of summer and less in the shorter days of winter.
7kW solar system
Capital City Approx daily solar energy production
(annual average)*
Adelaide 25-29kWh
Brisbane 27-29kWh
Canberra 25-29kWh
Darwin 31kWh
Hobart 20-23kWh
Melbourne 22-25kWh
Perth 28-31kWh
Sydney 24-26kWh

Payback period & ROI for a 7kW solar system
Payback periods for any size solar system are contingent on a number of factors, but one of the most important ones for homes and businesses going solar these days is 'self-consumption'. These days, with only low solar feed-in tariffs on offer in pretty much every state, the business case for going solar is based mainly on how much of the solar power will directly used by the home or business.
Here's why: If you own a solar system, the electricity it produces is worth much more to you if you consume it yourself than if you allow it to be 'exported' to the electricity grid. If you self-consume 1kWh of power, you avoid purchasing 1kWh of electricity from the grid, thereby saving anywhere from 18¢-¢40 on your power bill, depending on your location and what your electricity retailer/utility charges you for electricity. By contrast, if you allow the power to be exported to the grid, you will generally earn between 7-13c/kWh in solar feed-in credits.
So how can you make sure you use as much of your solar power yourself? Step 1 would be ensuring that you get a solar system that is appropriately-sized for your needs. Step 2 would be understanding your electricity usage profile and working to optimise your power usage. (Note that power from a system's solar panels will automatically go straight into any appliances that are running, and the excess will automatically flow into the grid.)
That being said, the table below provides some indicative payback period figures for 7kW solar systems in a handful of capital cities in Australia.

Dr. Ranjith Obeyesekera says:
Very useful information.thank you.
Paul J Camire says:
I have a company here in NH who just quoted a 7KW ground mounted system for Just over 30K, with the 30% government tax credit and $3500 of state cash back it came out to a little over 17K our cost. Our electricity bill is on average $150 a month for 12 months. I am 55 yrs old and don't see the payback of 12yrs as being worth it. I would do all the site work – level area where pads are to be laid, cut trees, and dig trench for electrical from panels to house, and poke a hole thru my foundation for the conduit. Price seems more than excessive don't you think?
Solar Choice Staff says:
Hi Paul. I can't really comment on the situation in New Hampshire as we service the Australian market. The 7kW system at $30k works out to around $4.30 per watt–that's definitely on the expensive end for a system of that size installed in most places in Australia. Payback periods here are more in the range of 4-7 years.
Is that the best price you've been able to find for your area? And I assume you're not entertaining the idea of going with a leasing deal?

can it be installed outdoors?
BEST ANSWER: Yes - these can be installed outdoors and is wet location rated.
Can this be used in a shower stall?
BEST ANSWER: No, this is a 120v ceiling light.
How many of these would it take to properly light a 30' x 16' room?
BEST ANSWER: For a room that size you need at least 1,000W of light output for general lighting. Each ceiling light has a light output of 75W.
what is the area of light cast?
BEST ANSWER: The beam angle of illumination is 220 degrees from the fixture.
Because it is an LED light, it casts a wide beam. I have it in a walk in closet, and it is bright. The closet is probably 8 x 8. However, I use it as a night light for the adjoining bathroom and bedroom, and there is plenty of light when all else is dark. The bedroom is probably 12 x 14 and the bath is 7 x 10. I have been pleased with these lights and have installed them in three bedrooms.

AUDREY A. O'BRIEN vs. FRANCIS X. O'BRIEN (and a companion case [Note 1]).
LIBEL for divorce filed in the Probate Court for the county of Norfolk on May 4, 1973.
COMPLAINT for divorce filed in the Norfolk Division of the Probate and Family Court Department on June 25, 1982.
COMPLAINTS for modification of support orders filed on August 23, 1989, November 21, 1989, and November 27, 1989, respectively, were heard by Charles J. Bowser, Jr., J.
Christine A. Faro for Audrey A. O'Brien.
Jeffrey N. Moxon for Francis X. O'Brien.
Stephen D. Fried for John J. Casey.
Audrey has appealed because she disagrees with the extent of the relief she obtained against Francis and with the denial of any relief against John. Francis appeals claiming that the judge should not have granted any relief to Audrey and that, if he is to be obliged to contribute to Audrey's support, John should share the burden. We transferred the case to this court on our own motion. We affirm the judge's order. We shall first consider the judge's determinations of issues disputed between Audrey and her most recent husband, Francis. Then we shall consider the dismissal of the complaint against John.
and receives an annual civil service pension of $51,000. Before and since her divorce from Francis, Audrey has been employed in various jobs, but she has not worked since September, 1989. She has had health problems, but, as the judge was warranted in finding, she is capable of working at least part time. Finding that Audrey has become a public charge and that Francis is capable of contributing to her support, the judge ordered Francis to pay alimony of $200 each week and up to $1,000 annually toward Audrey's uninsured medical bills. He also allowed attorney's fees to Audrey, but in an amount less than claimed.
1. The judge correctly concluded that he should award support to Audrey against Francis only to the extent necessary to remove her from public assistance. He structured an order which assumed that Audrey would work part time and under which, with the ordered alimony, she would not be dependent on public assistance for her basic needs. This order conformed to principles announced by this court. A separation agreement, fair and reasonable at the time of a judgment nisi, and constituting a final resolution of spousal support obligations, should be specifically enforced, absent countervailing equities. See Stansel v. Stansel, 385 Mass. 510 , 514-516 (1982); Knox v. Remick, 371 Mass. 433 , 436-437 (1976). If, however, a spouse who makes such an agreement becomes a public charge, a judge may order support pursuant to his statutory authority (G. L. c. 208, Sections 34, 37 [1992 ed.]), thereby not enforcing the separation agreement where to do so would impose support obligations on the taxpayers. Knox v. Remick, supra. See Talbot v. Talbot, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 456 , 458-459 (1982). The result is that one spouse may not cast off by agreement a duty to support the other spouse when the other spouse is or becomes a public charge.
Francis. In circumstances such as this, a court should override provisions of this type only to the extent necessary to prevent a former spouse from becoming a public charge.
The order concerning the payment of uninsured medical expenses was reasonable. The order for support and for the payment of medical expenses may be modified as needed to conform to the standard that governs Francis's support obligations. The amount of attorney's fees awarded after a hearing was properly within the judge's discretion. Brash v. Brash, 407 Mass. 101 , 106 (1990).
2. The judge properly dismissed the claim for support made against John, the next prior husband. We are not concerned here with the question of Audrey's rights against John if Francis were deceased or unable to provide adequate support for Audrey. We are, however, concerned with the question whether John at least should share the burden with Francis.
Audrey and John were married from 1968 to 1973. They had no children. In June, 1973, a decree nisi of divorce incorporated an agreement which provided for a weekly alimony payment of $225 to Audrey. It does not appear that the agreement survived the entry of the decree or that it stated the limits of Audrey's rights to future support. In September, 1975, Audrey and John agreed to modify the weekly support obligation to $125. In October, 1976, the two agreed that John would pay Audrey a lump sum of $5,000 as "payment in full for all past, present, and future claims by Audrey against John for support and property settlement." Audrey had already married Francis in the previous month. It does not appear that this agreement was reflected in any modification of the 1973 decree of divorce. At the time of trial in 1990, John had substantial assets and an annual income much greater than that of Francis.
This court has not recently visited the general question of the automatic termination of alimony upon the remarriage of a spouse who has been receiving alimony. It does so in this case only to say that, when a successor spouse is financially able to support the former recipient spouse, the former payor spouse is not obliged to contribute support payments (in the absence of an agreement to the contrary).
The various challenged orders and judgments in this case are affirmed.
[Note 1] Audrey A. O'Brien vs. John J. Casey.
[Note 2] Audrey was married to Raymond Jordan from 1951 until their divorce in 1953.
[Note 3] The majority rule in this country is that remarriage automatically terminates all alimony obligations to the remarried spouse. See Annot., Alimony as Affected by Wife's Remarriage, in Absence of Controlling Specific Statute, 48 A.L.R.2d 270 (1956 and later case service ); Frumkes, The Impact of Remarriage on Alimony, in Alimony: New Strategies for Pursuit and Defense, 1988 ABA Sec. Fam. L. 108-109. The result would be otherwise if there were a clear agreement that alimony would not terminate on remarriage. Frumkes, supra at 110. Almost all States that do not make termination of alimony automatic on remarriage treat a remarriage as a strong presumption or prima facie case in favor of termination. Id. at 109-110.

PIANO TECHNIQUE DEMYSTIFIED
Playing the Piano is Easy and Doesn't Hurt! Learn how to solve technical problems in Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and all the other composers you want to play. Never mind all those exercises and finger etudes. You'll learn why they are at best a waste of time. Discover ways to avoid discomfort and injury and at the same time increase learning efficiency. How are fast octaves managed without strain? How are leaps achieved without seeming to move? And listen to great pianists of the past.
iDemos
"Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form." Plato
Speed at the Piano
A student writes: "Is there a most efficient approach to achieving speed? Unevenness in runs and mistakes in tricky passages often seem to result from inhibitory muscle tension (the readiness to stop a motion that is wrong). When playing music I can often *feel* mistakes or complete disasters coming seconds before they occur. This may be a slow tightening of the don't-do-that muscles."
Muscle tension
My answer: Your main question is about achieving speed and accuracy in scales and passages. From what you describe, though, I get the impression—this is impossible to know without watching you play—that you are not at rest at the bottom of the key. That is, you seem to be holding ("inhibitory muscle tension"), instead of releasing. Try this on one note: drop into the key with your finger/hand/forearm
Sitting upright
without tension
aligned in such a way that it feels like a single unit. You are not pressing down past the key bed and you are not lifting
up. Find out what it takes to stand there; you are not tense, neither are you relaxed. This is akin to standing at ease, as in the army, or sitting upright in a chair. The next step is to find out how to transfer that weight to the next note via forearm rotation. (Have a look at the iDemos.)
If you "cannot play a particular pattern," it means you haven't found the technical solution(s), i.e., grouping, fingering, shaping, etc. I know this sounds like a cop out, but it's really true. There are always answers. When playing a scale, for example, make sure that the thumb is approximately behind the finger playing as you approach the crossing (see iDemo). This puts your forearm at an angle with the keyboard.
Once the technical solutions have been worked-in,
Old-fashioned metronome
gradually increase the tempo in units. In the case of the scale, include the thumb crossing in a unit. For example, 1,2,3,1,2 and 1,2,3,4,1,2. This is a very good use of the metronome. Play each unit at least three times at each tempo before going on to the next tempo, noting that nothing changes in the ease of playing. This repetition is not for strength training but for teaching the correct movements to the playing apparatus. When each unit feels great at the desired tempo, then try combining two units and working them up together from slower to faster, although you may not need to start sat the slowest tempo.
Don't try to work up speed until you have decided on and worked-in the technical solutions.

Beware the Mouse: Repetitive Use Syndrome and the Pianist
"Oh, no!" mouse.
My student came for a lesson, finally, after having to cancel one because of wrist pain. "Oh, no, what have you been working on, and how could it have gone so badly," I asked. He responded, somewhat sheepishly, that he'd been under pressure to complete a recording project, and that he had had a marathon session at the computer, mousing into the wee hours. Ah, this explains a great deal. Doctors call this repetitive use syndrome; I call it foolish.
Okay, I understand. One gets carried away with projects and forgets possible consequences—largely because the pain and discomfort usually come the next day. Griping the mouse while

activating left and right clicks (isolating fingers) over a long period of time adds up to considerable stress on the playing apparatus. Discomfort and pain ensue, and these are bad enough. Unfortuately, this must interrupt piano practice until the pain and discomfort subside. We can't work through pain, despite what some football coaches may advise. How can we evaluate the relative correctness in our technique if there is something already wrong in the system?
Fortunately, an understanding of how the forearm works can go a long way toward not only solving an issue at the piano, but in the case of this student, it also acted therapeutically. Rotating the

forearm can feel like self massage, immediately releasing tension.
The moral here is to be self-aware. Take breaks from computer tasks and other repetitive activities that are potentially harmful. As we get older, and we all do (hopefully), physical stress takes a greater toll that when we were young and spry.

The Collaborative Pianist
Readers have asked about The Collaborative Pianist's Guide to Practical Technique. What, for example, makes it practical? Well, here's the thing. Collaborative pianists as a group have been neglected when it comes to studying technical matters. Collaborators must, of course, have all the basic technical skills as soloists and be able to apply them from mezzo forte and under. Collaborators, too, will have studied solo repertoire on their way up the ladder to excellent pianism, to the place where they feel the calling to collaborate with other artists. But what then? If we don't recommend exercises by Czerny and
Carl Czerny
Hanon and their ilk, and we don't, then how is the collaborator to continue to advance in a logical fashion? Well, I'm glad you asked. Instead of wasting time on mindless exercises or taking up precious practice hours on solo etudes by Chopin or Rachmaninoff (not that that would be a bad thing, only time-consuming), studying technical excerpts from the collaborator's repertoire would be time well-spent. These are
Charles-Louis Hanon
passages that will be needed at some point in the collaborative pianist's career. Better to get a head-start because that emergency call may come tonight for a concert tomorrow that includes the Kreuzer Sonata. (I'm not kidding.) Say "no" once and they don't call again.
Bach Sinfonias for String Trio
Yes, I know this is a piano blog. But many of us also have an unfathomable love for string instruments and the playing of same. So, let it be known that, in an effort to add to the repertoire for this combination, I have transcribed Bach's keyboard Sinfonias. I did this originally for my own use, but after some persuasion, I've decided to make them available for others at Amazon.
When I play Bach's music, I can't help thinking of a quote from his son, Carl Philip
Carl Philip Emanuel Bach
Emanuel. In his Essay on the True Art of Keyboard Playing, Bach the younger begins his explanation of style "my late father told me..." This gives me goose bumps even now. One of the things his late father told him—this also appears in papa's preface to the Inventions and Sinfonias—is that we should work above all to "achieve a cantabile style in playing and at the same time acquire a strong foretaste of composition." It's this endeavor to achieve a singing style that gave me the idea to transcribe these little gems, part of the pianist's catechism, for literal "singing" instruments—that and my desire to have more repertoire to play as a cellist in a string trio.
Often referred to as three-part inventions, Bach's Sinfonias (Sinfonien) reflect the master's continuing concern for the complete education of musicians. They were indeed conceived originally for keyboard—and are rather more difficult to play than the two-part Inventions—but as always in Bach's keyboard works, their probative value reaches far beyond the mere pressing down of keys in the proper order. Bach sought to teach the complete musician in his Clavier Übung, of which the Sinfonias are a part. Übung is translated for our purposes not just as practice in the general sense of learning keyboard technique. It also means emersion in the professional essence of the art, as in the practice of medicine or law. These pieces are about learning composition and style, and, in short, how to bring music to life.
String trio.
Notice how colorful music can be.
We know that Bach transcribed not only his own works for different combinations of instruments, but also the works of other composers, particularly those of Vivaldi. It
has been speculated that this was for him a method of study or an effort to make rare compositions more generally available to the public. Possibly. I am more moved, however, by A. Schweitzer's assertion that "this was his way and it gave him pleasure." It is in the latter spirit that I offer up these tasty morsels.
My urtext soul at first balked at the many edits I've included. My justification is that students sometimes need guidelines, though professionals may curse me. All markings can of course be ignored, including metronome and expression indications, but they are an outgrowth of many years of study. Even so, when I play these on the piano I often take exaggeratedly different expressive approaches, including tempos. To quote again from Bach the younger in his passage on performance, "If it doesn't sound good, don't do it."
Hélène Grimaud Playing Brahms' Burly D Minor Concerto
Helene Grimaud
Well, okay, in an earlier post about the little lady and Brahms' concerto, I left my gentle readers hanging. Regular readers will know what I was getting at, that it takes rather little physical strength to play the piano. This is another way of saying that efficiency is more useful than exaggerated movements, efficiency being the key word. It would be more efficient to move by some natural means than it would be to stretch the hand to an extreme, which is not a natural thing to do. By that I mean that even though the hand can be forced to extend, it doesn't like it because that is not in sync with its design.
This brings me to another point, that what we are able to see in
Tobias Matthay
the technique is not necessarily the whole story. As you know from an earlier post, I am particularly intrigued by the title of Matthay's book, The Visible and Invisible in Piano Technique. I can't know what Grimaud is thinking when she plays this piece, but I can see that, although she allows her hands to open as needed, they never stay that way and they don't appear to be locked into an extreme position. But what is underneath, what invisible resource gives her so much power? If you close your eyes and listen, you might suppose that she would need to come down into the keys from some extreme height. But logic dictates that, in speed, there wouldn't be time for that. Open your eyes and notice that she is rather close to the keys. Whether the passage is lyrical and spread out beyond the octave, or whether she plays chords or crashing octaves, her hands remain more or less in contact with the keyboard.
No Hammering.
The answer, of course, is that her power comes from discrete use of the forearm as described by Matthay, and she achieves speed by allowing the forearm's natural movement to propel her. This natural movement of the forearm, of course, is called forearm rotation. It underlies all that we do at the keyboard, particularly in speed, and is virtually invisible. Not to put too fine a point in it, I feel the need to add that octaves or chords in speed will not succeed if the forearm is employed in an up and down, hammer-like movement. This is not an efficient movement in speed.
