Every licensed driver on the roads is required to renew their license by the five year expiration date if they wish to continue operating a vehicle legally on roadways. An individual who applies for a license renewal must pass an eye exam. For most people, this comes up most frequently when boarding a domestic flight. The licensee must submit a statement from a licensed physician not more than 6 months prior to the date of expiration of the license indicating the applicant meets the necessary physical requirements to operate a vehicle and the licensee must also include a notarized statement certifying he or she is a resident of the state and does not hold a valid license from any other jurisdiction. Armed Forces may apply for a license extension of up to 4 years. Prior to expiration of a license, the Secretary of State will send the license holder a renewal application.

A driver 80 years of age and over must pass a vision and knowledge test, and the driver must participate in a 90-minute group education session. The issue date is printed on the back of your current license. Dependents use the same process. Also, people 80 and older must pass an eye exam with every renewal. North Dakota military spouses may renew by mail.
Every trailer, when driven at night, shall have on the rear, 1 lamp, displaying a red light visible for a distance of at least 1000 feet, and a white light illuminating the registration plate of such vehicle so that the characters thereon shall be visible for a distance of at least 50 feet. In it, you will get in-depth details on how to complete other important licensing transactions, such as updating personal information on your license, renewing your license and replacing a lost one. If you do not have your current or expired license at renewal, you will be required to show the examiner two required documents of identification. There is no option to have a new photo taken when you renew online. Any person who is a member of the U.

It also can restrict licenses to such things as daylight driving only. Individuals between 21 and 40 years old are required to complete a vision test every other time their license is renewed. The headlamp shall throw sufficient light ahead to make clearly visible all vehicles, persons, or substantial objects within a distance of 150 feet. Following the reexamination, the hearing officer will decide whether any action should be taken regarding your driving privileges, such as restrictions, probation,. Out-of-state military personnel can apply for a license extension in the mail. Any person holding a valid license who is going overseas for 2 to 4 years and whose license is going to expire during the overseas stay, may renew the license for 4 years or 8 years prior to leaving with proper proof of such overseas travel. Drivers age 50 and over are subject to a vision screening at renewal.

If you fail a test, you are not allowed to retake it until 10 days have passed. Written test: Not generally required at renewal.


When Eminem sued New Zealand's governing National Party in 2014 alleging that it had used one of his songs in an election ad without permission, you probably thought this one would be quietly settled out of court.
We did. Would a political party really want a public spat with a popular rapper in which it was accused of infringing copyright? Well, as it turns out, yes, it would. Though Joel Martin, representing Eminem's music publishing companies, seemed as surprised as anyone yesterday that he was now standing outside the New Zealand court where his firm's copyright dispute with the country's governing political party was being heard.
As previously reported, the National Party has always argued that it properly licensed the music that appeared in its 2014 television ad, a soundtrack that sounded rather like Eminem's 'Lose Yourself'.
From the start the political group said that it had secured a licence from an Australian agency that it turn paid the rights owners via the collective licensing system. This initially seemed unlikely for a sync in an advert – which usually begins with a direct deal between advertiser and rights owner – though it transpires this is basically a production music sound-alike case.
Which is to say, the National Party licensed a piece of music called 'Eminem-Esque' for its ad, which the rapper's people claim is basically a rip off of 'Lose Yourself'. And, say legal reps for Slim Shady's Eight Mile Style and Martin Affiliated, the politicians were aware of that fact when they decided to use the track after it tested well with focus groups.
That email, Williams argued, made it "utterly clear" that the National Party knew it was using Eminem's music without his permission, even if it was technically licensing the specific track from a third party.
When Eminem sued in 2014, the National Party accused the rapper of playing politics, because he was unhappy being associated with a conservative political group; noting that others had used the same 'Eminem-Esque' track it had licensed in other videos without the rapper going legal.
However, the aforementioned Martin said yesterday this was a straight copyright infringement case, and nothing to do with the politics of the National Party. Indeed, he added, Eminem and his American business associates know little about New Zealand politics, but the rapper would never license his music to a political organisation, whatever their leanings.
Of course, artists getting annoyed when politicians use their music is quite common, and was a regular occurrence during Donald Trump's presidential campaign. When political types use music at rallies and such like there is rarely anything artists can do, because such usage is covered by the blanket licences offered by the collecting societies.
Though if a politician syncs a track to an advert, that's different. Which is the case here of course. Though, as noted, really this is a sound-alike production music case, something more commonly associated with the ad industry than the political world.

Weather Update: Blizzard Covers up Human Rights
Posted byUniversity of Baltimore Law Review Staff February 9, 2020 Posted inIssues to Watch
Jordan E. Culley*
The American gaming company Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Blizzard) made international headlines with its decision to ban players for supporting the Hong Kong protests. See Matthew Gault, Blizzard's Hong Kong Screw-Up Is Officially an International Incident, Vice (Oct. 8, 2019, 5:24 PM), https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/bjw535/blizzards-hong-kong-screw-up-is-officially-an-international-incident. In an official Blizzard broadcast on October 6th, 2019, a player named Blitzchung declared his support for Hong Kong's protest movement during a post-tournament interview. See id.; Zach Beauchamp, One of America's Biggest Gaming Companies Is Acting as China's Censor, Vox (Oct. 8, 2019, 12:10 PM), https://www.vox.com/2019/10/8/20904433/blizzard-hong-kong-hearthstone-blitzchung. Two days later, Blizzard sanctioned Blitzchung by suspending him for a year, required him to forfeit thousands of dollars in prize money from 2019, and fired the commentators who conducted the interview. See Beauchamp, supra. Blizzard supported these sanctions by citing to § 6.1(o) of its Hearthstone Grandmasters Official Competition Rules. See id. This rule states:
Engaging in any act that, in Blizzard's sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages [sic] Blizzard['s] image will result in removal from Grandmasters and reduction of the player's prize total to $0 USD, in addition to other remedies which may be provided for under the Handbook and Blizzard's Website Terms.
2019 Hearthstone Grandmasters Official Competition Rules v1.4, Blizzard 12, https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/page_media/w4/W4NWIBHB74T31564507077190.pdf (last visited Dec. 16, 2019).
Following the news of Blizzard sanctioning Blitzchung, a group of players from American University held up a sign during another Grandmasters tournament that stated: "Free Hong Kong, Boycott Blizz." Patrick Klepek, Blizzard Bans Three College 'Hearthstone' Protestors for Six Months, Vice (Oct. 16, 2019, 12:45 PM), https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/d3akzz/three-college-hearthstone-protesters-banned-for-six-months?utm_source=wptwitter. A week later, Blizzard imposed sanctions on this group of players for violating the Hearthstone Collegiate Championship official rules, and banned the team from competing in any competitions for six months. See id.
These events brought international attention to Hong Kong's liberation movement and caused the hashtag "#BoycottBlizzard" to trend on Twitter. Jordan Sirani, The Blizzard China Controversy, and Why #BoycottBlizzard Is Trending, Explained, IGN, https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/09/activision-blizzard-hong-kong-china-boycott-blizzard-response (last updated Oct. 10, 2019, 6:55 PM). Additionally, many of Blizzard's community members and professional players pulled out of other Grandmasters tournaments and deleted their accounts. Id. Even U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Marco Rubio responded to the incident and condemned Blizzard for allowing China to use their huge market as leverage to censor players. See Ron Wyden (@RonWyden), Twitter (Oct. 8, 2019, 11:27 PM), https://twitter.com/RonWyden/status/1181637167749193729; Marco Rubio (@marcorubio), Twitter (Oct. 8, 2019, 6:04 AM), twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1181556058659135488. Moreover, on October 18, 2019, five members of the U.S. Congress signed a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Blizzard which expressed their concern over Blizzard's decision to impose sanctions that stifled free speech and enabled China to continue their "campaign of intimidation." Gene Park, Activision Blizzard Under Fire from Bipartisan Group of Congress Members Over China Relations, Wash. Post (Oct. 18, 2019, 5:11 PM), https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2019/10/18/activision-blizzard-under-fire-bipartisan-group-congress-members-over-china-relations/. Their letter further urged Blizzard to reverse its decision to impose sanctions and to stand up for human rights. Id.
Access Now, a group that defends human rights around the world, also wrote a letter on October 11, 2019 to the Chief Executive Officer of Blizzard regarding its commitment to the freedom of expression. See Blizzard Must Demonstrate Its Commitment to Respecting the Human Rights of Its Users, Access Now, https://www.accessnow.org/blizzard-must-demonstrate-its-commitment-to-respecting-the-human-rights-of-its-users/ (last updated Oct. 16, 2019). In the letter, Access Now's General Counsel explained that the sanctions imposed on Blitzchung were a violation of human rights, which includes the freedom of expression and the freedom of assembly. Id. Access Now's letter also urged Blizzard to "reset its approach to human rights." Id. In addition to a call for greater transparency and accountability from Blizzard, the letter left a list of questions for Blizzard to answer, including this blunt question: "Does Blizzard commit to respect the freedom of expression of its stakeholders, including players and stream [commentators]." Id.
On October 12, 2019, the president of Blizzard, J. Allen Brack, reduced the suspensions of Blitzchung and the two commentators to six months and reinstated Blitzchung's winnings. See Blizzard Entertainment, Regarding Last Weekend's Hearthstone Grandmasters Tournament, Blizzard (Oct. 12, 2019), https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/blizzard/23185888/regarding-last-weekend-s-hearthstone-grandmasters-tournament. Brack wrote a letter addressed to the Blizzard community in which he affirmed that the focus of Blizzard's official broadcasts must solely focus on the video game regardless of the viewpoint expressed, and that its broadcasts "are not a platform for divisive social or political views." Id. Despite Blizzard's attempt to keep the focus solely on video games, Access Now pointed out that Blizzard is still violating Blitzchung's human rights by not fully reversing his suspension. See Blizzard Must Demonstrate Its Commitment to Respecting the Human Rights of Its Users, supra. Access Now and other human rights groups are not the only advocates calling for Blizzard to take action. See Park, supra. Blizzard's employees have been protesting on Blizzard's campus in California, and its players are closing their accounts. See id. At the annual BlizzCon on November 1, 2019, there was a large demonstration outside of the Anaheim convention center where the convention was being held. See Niraj Chokshi, Why Gamers are Protesting BlizzCon for Hong Kong, N.Y. Times (Nov. 4, 2019), https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/01/business/blizzcon-blizzard-protest.html. The protesters distributed "Freedom Hong Kong" t-shirts to attendees of the convention and two of the American University students spoke at the protest as well. See id. Inside the convention, Brack apologized on behalf of Blizzard by stating: "We moved too quickly in our decision-making and then, to make matters worse, we were too slow to talk with all of you," and that the company would "do better." See id.
Other companies like the NBA, Apple, and Starbucks have been involved in similar situations with the protests in Hong Kong. See Terry Nguyen, American Brands are Trying to Play Both Sides of the Hong Kong-China Conflict, Vox (Oct. 11, 2019, 2:30 PM), https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/10/11/20910039/american-brands-hong-kong-china-conflict. American companies should not bow to Chinese pressure and should prioritize human rights over their profits. As Blizzard companies navigates this storm, its players, employees, and other citizens should continue to voice their opinion and freeze out Blizzard if it continues to operate as a sensor for China.

On this cold, faux spring night as I'm reading, planning my Study Abroad trip and working out the kinks in my day to day schedule, I'm forced to stop and pay homage to the one constant thing that has been in my life during my more cognitive years; the relationship that I share with A.
I can't help but be in awe of him. I can't help but be grateful that there is always a shoulder there when I need it even if I don't want to admit that I needed it in the first place.
I've had so many people cycling through my life that I'm at a loss for how many names and numbers I have in my phone, how many people I flash a smile at and ask after their families but the truth is I wouldn't call any of them if my world is falling apart even though I've helped many a world stay together so, here here to my rock, my best friend and my love.

Gold Medal Winner 2011
The Hampton Court Flower Show always provides a diversity of garden designs and this year we were happy to provide support to a fascinating idea for a conceptual garden designed by Dan Lobb a self confessed environmentalist who was keen to incorporate solar power and low energy LED lighting into Graduate Landscapes Ltd garden aptly named "Landscape Obscured"
Landscape Obscured was planted with edible fungi interwoven with mosses and liverworts beneath the ground. The fungus garden was viewed from steel periscopes on the surface, built into the top of each periscope was a 2W - 12V Solar Panel. Each solar panel trickle charged a battery that in turn was used to power the low energy LED lights.
The LED lighting created a fairytale atmosphere providing visitors to the garden a glimpse of these fascinating life forms in a subterranean world and won gold and best in show award in the Conceptual Gardens section.
Sunshine Solar would like to congratulate Dan Lobb & Graduate Landscapes Ltd on their innovative and quite literally ground breaking design.

Minibus to Mini-Home
If you have ever dream't of having a camper vans but have gasped at the price then why not make one yourself, with the difficult economical climate Colin Grace has made this dream a possibility for a fraction of the cost with a clever conversion of a 15 seat Ford Transit Minibus into a 4 berth camper van. Colin has published an electronic book about the project which has been well received in several countries.
In the words of Colin
âI have been producing technical documentation professionally for over 20 years in the heating, airline, newspaper and retail industries. After looking for a family camper van at a reasonable price and being unable to find one that could provide 6 seats for travelling and eating and 2/4 berth for sleeping, I decided to look in to converting my own.
I spend about 12 months researching how to do it and talked to people who have completed conversions before.
I decided to do it and over one Winter I converted a 15 seat minibus into a 4 berth camper van, whilst converting I documented and photographed the whole process.
The 12 months research and the conversion documentation all rolled into my camper van conversion Ebook.
I have had many family holidays in my camper van and it has proved itself and the conversion many times.
The 63W Solar Panel I purchased from Sunshine Solar does a wonderful job at keeping my batteries in tip top condition.
I hope you enjoy the book and that it helps you to decide to do a camper van conversion, or helps you with your current conversion and I can highly recommend Sunshine Solar and the excellent service they provided".

Off grid holiday home project
This month we are pleased to include pictures and the background story behind what is achievable with some inventiveness when faced with an off grid situation. Sent into us by Chris of Cheshire we hope this account is of use to anyone planning a simular project.
In the words of Chris
"The story behind the system is that my parents were good enough to part company with some land, one acre. Upon getting this land I decided it would be nice to have a holiday home, but the cost of building a "house" + planning permission and usual problems people end up with when doing such a project are a pest..... hence the idea of a
19.6 m2 cabin ( no planning permission required) and doing it entirely off grid (cheaper than running power lines / water / waste water to it).
The master plan is to have two 19.6 m2 cabins (no planning required), and have one as a living space such as lounge / kitchen / diner, which is shown in the photos. The other cabin will be sleeping quarters, which will require less power.
It has been worked out that the required power for a reasonable life style is as such the current solar system, but it still needs another two 120W panels to get it to the desired charging current (this will happen later down the line).
I made the school boy error in the initial calculation of 660W at 12V made up of
3 x 100W and 3 x 120W Sunshine Monocrystalline Solar Panels to get the charging current, this is not right... should have been the working voltage of 17V, this is the reason for the additional panels in the future.
All six solar panels are regulated through
one 60A Solar Charge Controller which will also handle the additional power generated from the extra solar panels I intend to add to the system.
The holiday home in question is exactly that for the short term but as I get closer to retirement age I will be interested in being there on a more full time basis.
The system itself has two power rings one at 12V to minimise the loss in the power to the required pieces of equipment being used.
The other power ring is the good old 230 Vac which includes two power inverters one 500W and one 1800W for those items that cannot be attained in 12 Vdc.
The bulk of the electrics are housed in a weatherproof cupboard on the outside of the building this includes five Deep Cycling 110AH 12V Leisure Batteries for storing the generated solar power (see picture on the right).
The water system to the cabin will be gray water (rain) used for washing up + showering - hot water provided by a self built solar water heater and a log burner with a backup system of a small 12V water heater. Water will be pumped to the desired places using caravan pump systems, 12V ones.
I would like to Thank Sunshine Solar for all the tech support you have provided to me as it has been invaluable"
Sunshine Solar would like to thank Chris for taking the time to send us this information we are happy to have been of assistants and look forward to further updates on your ongoing project.
Phil & Skippys, Atlantic Row!
After our recent involvement with ocean rowing, Sunshine Solar are proud to be associated with Phil Pring from Cornwall and Ben Cummings (aka) Skippy from Devon who are taking part in this years premier event in ocean rowing the 2009 Atlantic Rowing Race, the race starts from La Gomera, Canary Islands and concludes in the idyllic English Harbour, Antigua.
More people by far have climbed Everest than have sucessfully rowed an ocean in a rowing boat so this really is a tough challenge for the West Country pair.
The 3000 mile race begins on Sunday 6th December 2009 and power generation onboard during their journey will come from our latest range, one x 60W and two x 30W Sunshine Marine Solar Modules specifically designed for the harsh marine environment.
Both rowers are raising money for the Cornwall Blind Association, Phil was particularly keen to raise funds for the CBA through his and Skippy's rowing venture. Having had a close family member be affected by blindness he has experienced the difficulties and stress that visual impairment can cause. He has also been impressed with the work of the CBA and hopes that his Atlantic crossing can help maintain the excellent services that they currently offer.
We will be tracking Phil & Skippy's progress during the race and wish them every success.
103 days at sea, record breakers return home
In the words of James Thysse
It's with great pleasure I announce our arrival back to the UK.
"Our journey took some 103 days to complete during which time we encountered many amazing, terrifying and outright stunning moments. Highlights included a day spent with whales, sharks and surfing 50/60 foot waves providing us with memories that will last a lifetime. We were incredibly optimistic during the trip and therefore took even the bad times in our stride which included broken oars, electrical failings, capsizing and profound rationing of food. However despite these obstacles on the evening of the 31st of July James Thysse and Jamie Facer-Childs became the youngest ever ocean rowers to cross not only the Indian Ocean but any ocean.
Jamie and I would like to thank you for all of your support prior to and during the race"
"The solar panels proved vital to keeping the batteries charged even during lower light conditions allowing us to run vital pieces of equipment such as our water maker, GPS and sat phone. Weight and space onboard an ocean rowing boat is always limited and the flexible panels sponsored by Sunshine Solar were perfect for the job. Team OztoAfrica would like to send their thanks to Sunshine Solar for the equipment supplied for the boat making our record breaking crossing possible"
Sunshine Solar would like to congratulate James & Jamie in their steely determination to complete what to most would quite literally be like hell on high water.
Well done on your achievements and impressive facial hair!!!

Rowing 3600 miles for charity from Australia to Africa!
The first ever Indian Ocean Rowing Race! Get under way in April raising money for Headway and Sparks, Jamie Facer-Childs and James Thysse both aged 21 will set out to become the youngest ever duo to row the Indian Ocean.
Racing 14 other teams J&J will battle against the elements of the most unpredictable ocean in the world to support two very important charities and conduct ocean research.
The boat will be completely self sufficient and is designed to carry all necessary equipment and supplies, drinking water is produced by a water desalinator and electricity will be provided by solar panels fitted to the cabin roof.
When Jamie and James asked us for sponsorship from Sunshine Solar in the form of solar panels their brief was they needed to be lightweight and robust which very conveniently coinsided with the introduction of a brand new range for us the:-
Sunshine Flexible Solar Panels.
Mike Charville Director of Sunshine Solar said "the Indian Ocean Rowing Race will provide the harshest of tests for our new range of solar panels, specifically designed with the marine market in mind we are confident that even under these tough conditions they will provide the power needed for the vital onboard equipment such as GPS and watermaker"
At only 21 years of age Jamie and James have many life changing experiences ahead of them and as many of us sit behind our office desks it is hard to imagine rowing for 90 days in 2 hour shift 24/7, the mental and physical challenge of such an extremely stressful situation will almost certainly be the most memorable of life changing experiences never to be forgotten and we applaud their sense of adventure that will raise much needed funds for their designated charities. We wish them a safe and succesful trip.
Everybody's heard about EBAY, but everyone should know about E-DAY
Back in August Sunshine Solar lent out a solar panel, battery and lights to four lads who were cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats (see August 07 Blogg) well the team of Will Cantello, Pete Clutton, Ben Meaker and Tom Tapper have just finished editing a short film about their journey which will be shown at St Pauls Cathedral and online as part of 'E-Day'
What is E-DAY?
Energy Saving Day (E-Day) will be happening between 6pm on Wednesday 27 February 2008 and 6pm on Thursday 28 February 2008.
Over 24 hours, E-Day will be trying to show how even small energy saving measures can be made to add up, and potentially play a part in tackling climate change.
Everyone who wants to take part in E-Day is being asked to leave off household electrical items, which do not need to be on, and to leave these items off for as long as possible.
These might include lights in rooms that are not being used, televisions left on standby, mobile phone chargers left plugged in, unused printers, etc, etc. A launch event will take place at St. Paul's Cathedral at 5pm on Wednesday 27 February 2008.
"The small things in life can make a big difference"
LED lighting aims to make impact
LED lighting powered by solar panels and rechargeable batteries can provide great impact to developing countries, says Tony Newton.Visiting Sri Lanka in 2005 soon after the tsunami, Tony Newton, owner of Newtons Computer Systems based in Windsor, UK, was disheartened by the suffering of villagers having to depend on non-eco friendly, dim and dangerous paraffin lanterns to light up their homes. Hoping to make a difference, Newton has produced an eco-friendly LED lighting system utilising only solar power.
Newton says that his motive is non-profit making and that he hopes to distribute lights at low cost or free of charge to thousands of people around the world. Two billion people around the world have no access to electricity and rely heavily on fuel-based sources for lighting. This is very expensive - US billion a year is spent on offgrid lighting. This is not only quite inefficient, but also contributes significantly to pollution and emission of greenhouse gases. "If we can help them to change over to solar-powered lights, carbon dioxide emission could be reduced by up to 210m tonnes per year," says Newton. "This is one-fourth of UK's annual carbon-dioxide emission." A 12V rechargeable battery connected to a solar panel is used to power the lights (see photos), so that they will operate successfully wherever there is reasonable sunlight. Compared to paraffin oil or kerosene oil lamps, these lights can deliver up to 1000 times more useful light, and they are long-lasting. This also adds to a huge life-changing impact to users with health, wealth and happiness. Newton says that pilot projects in the UK and in Sri Lanka have had "amazing" results. Tests carried out so far have clearly demonstrated that four of these light modules can be operated with one 12V battery, and can work effectively for more than 10 hours continuously. Recharging of the battery takes about 3 to 4 hours with 70% ambient sun-light. Each light module can deliver 45-55 W light power.
Newton is presently in contact with Professor Balachandran of the UK's Brunel University to optimise the lights to maximise illumination with minimum power consumption and to increase the lifespan of the devices. Balachandran and Newton are very keen to utilise renewable energy with solid state technology to bring free, affordable, safe, healthy, efficient and environmentally responsible illumination to many who do not have access for adequate lighting. "The concept of understanding the sustainable energy solutions and related social, economic and environmental issues are uncomplicated. To make use of these simple solutions to better the life of many rests solely on the respective Governments and not on charities and NGOs," says Newton. Utilising carbon-credits from these lights should be a good incentive for major industries and local governments to participate for the betterment of the world, he adds.
Tony has developed the lighting kit using a 5 Watt Amorphous Solar Panel .
We would like to take this opportunity to wish him every success with the project.
Land's End to John O'Groats - 1000 miles The Zero Carbon Cycle Expedition
On the 18th August 07 four former students from the UEA set out to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats promoting green living and from the recent email expedition updates visiting a few West Country cider factories along the way was also on the agenda (purely for re-hydration purposes only... of course). To make life on the road more comfortable Sunshine Solar were only too pleased to loan the team a complete solar kit centred around a 46 Watt Solar Panel, to provide power to run basic low energy lighting in the evenings.
Sunshine Solar would like to wish Will Cantello (Fatboy), Pete Clutton (Peteycles), Ben Meaker (Frenchy B) and Tom Tapper (Tapshki) every success for their mission and we hope the wet weather gear holds out for what surely must be the wettest August since time began.
Below in their own words are details of their ethos behind the expedition.
Through 'The Carbon Cycle' we aim to promote the benefits and potential for innovation that can be garnered by low-carbon living. We hope to push climate change from an issue of dry science and politics into an arena of proaction, positivity and just having some fun!
Where did the idea come from?
While this project may seem a little bit of an off the wall idea to some... it feels more like a logical progression for us! Firstly, the four of us are passionate about the desirability of a reduction in the environmental footprint of the global population. Moreover, we are equally passionate that the way to achieve this could largely lie in the communication of this message with a positive and fun attitude. This a favourable alternative to the doom and gloom fear mongering sometimes used in relation to climate change or the number-crunching of the, undoubtedly important, but dry climate boffins! Secondly, we each enjoy cycling! We cycle in our everyday lives but have also been part of other long distance cycles. For example, Tom has already completed the Land's End to John O'Groats circuit once before for Cancer Research and the four of us (with other friends) cycled over 60 miles dressed in red hot pants and capes for comic relief 2005! Thirdly, the time invested in this documentary has been a fantastic opportunity to justify our immense ability in the field of procrastination when it comes to other important but less enthusing tasks such as essay writing or part-time work.
So here we are, embarking on 'The Carbon Cycle'! It is also appropriate at this point to, perhaps reluctantly, acknowledge that in actual fact this was not our idea at all! In truth our lovely friend at UEA, Miss Anaїs Reding, first planted the idea in our heads. So cheers Anaїs! We'll send you a postcard.
Cycling is carbon neutral so where's the challenge!?
This is a common misconception. Cycling its self is a form of carbon neutral transport and is environmentally far superior to the car; however, transport is only a part of the carbon we emit in our everyday lives. The food we eat, the electricity that powers our lighting and mod cons and the water we drink and wash in all has an embedded carbon footprint. This means that at some point in the production or transport of the good concerned carbon is emitted. Therefore the real challenge (aside from the 1000-mile cycle!) is to;
Find low-carbon, locally produced food on a daily basis;
Power all of our electrical appliances with renewable electricity (solar/wind-up etc).
Minimise the water (especially hot water) used, yet remain hydrated and hygienic!!
Throughout the journey we will be towing the CRed Trailer. The trailer will be filled with low-energy light bulbs (to help us neutralise our emissions) and leaflets to provide environmental information to the public. Courtesy of Sunshine Solar, we are also fitting a solar panel to the trailer to provide a source of electricity to give us low-carbon-light during the evenings. The more carbon we emit, the more time and effort we have to spend convincing local people along the journey to install energy saving light bulbs and to become more environmentally conscious. Therefore we MUST keep carbon emissions to an absolute minimum. And YES we will be catching a train to Land's End and from John O'Groats!!!
We do not profess to be environmental angels we are normal students: we like beer, bacon and cheap holidays. But, realising that there is a fundamental need to change our lifestyles, we want to prove to ourselves and the public that it is possible to live a low-carbon lifestyle.
"The solar panel was fantastic. It survived the thousand mile journey - from Land's End to John O'Groats - strapped to the back of our cycling trailer without failure! Come rain or shine, the panel was constantly charging the battery. As such we were able to power our lighting and charge all of our equipment without having to use electricity from the grid. It provided us with a free, reliable and above all zero-carbon supply of electricity. We highly recommend it. Thank you Sunshine Solar!!!"
Sunshine Solar comes to the aid of the British Red Cross!
Sunshine Solar were delighted to be able to help the British Red Cross at the recent Sandringham Flower Show.
They needed a power solution to power two laptops and a projector. Their first thought was to hire a generator, but in view of the noise and pollution issues they wanted to opt for a green answer.
On the day, we arrived equipped with a simple quick and easy to install system and set about the task. We set up two systems one just powering a laptop showing a slide show and one running a laptop, projector and speakers to run a number of DVDs illustrating the work of the Red cross in the UK and Worldwide.
The equipment we used for each system was a 46 Watt Solar Panel, 5amp regulator, 110amp Leisure battery and a 1000w-2000w Inverter.
The event was attended by the Royals, which is not surprising as it was in their back garden! and oddly Jools Holland made an appearance this time without his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra!
As the patron of The British Red Cross Society, HRH Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall visited the marquee where they met staff and volunteers and viewed the DVD presentation run with the aid of clean, green solar energy.

Probably a world premier.... as environmentally friendly solar busker takes to the streets of Norwich.
We are used to unusual requests here at Sunshine Solar but when Grant called in to see us, looking for a solar power solution to electrify his busking act this was a little bit different and after we had heard him play in an X factor style audition we rose to the challenge. Using our Solar Testing Device we were able to establish how much power the Marshall Amplifier and Electric Guitar were using when run off a 12volt battery via an inverter. The power consumption was quite steady with the exception of some Hendrix style guitar moments which pushed the boundaries to 900mA. Once we had established the draw of power from the battery we could recommend a panel to keep the battery topped up.
Without the aid of a host of roadies Grant needed portability so opted for the Solar Briefcase Charger 28 Watt, even on overcast days this unit has kept Grant's battery fully charged allowing the musical vibes to ring out through the streets of Norwich.
Obviously plugging into an electric wall socket was never going to be an option for Grant but this problem has resulted in a great example of using alternative energy to power the electrical appliances we all love in a sustainable environmentally friendly way.
During the summer you can catch Grant performing live in various locations throughout the city, just follow your ears and check out Grants solar busking act.

007-0686 Middlebrook Grade School and High School
The two tall brick buildings, on a hill above the village of Middlebrook in Augusta County, that comprise the listed Middlebrook Grade School and High School are symbols of advances in rural public-school facilities and expressions of local pride. The Middlebrook Grade School was built in 1916 to accommodate the growing population of this prosperous Augusta County turnpike town. The building was a community project with local residents contributing money, labor, and materials. It originally held high school grades but additional growth necessitated a new Middlebrook High School building by the early 1920s. The high school was thus erected next door in 1923, and also was accomplished largely through local effort. The standardized building plans were adapted to meet the village's desire to have space for community gatherings. Instead of the usual large multi-purpose room, the school had separate spaces for a gymnasium, auditorium, and community center. School consolidation led to the closing of both schools in 1967. The Middlebrook Grade School and High School were listed in the registers under the Public Schools of Augusta County MPD.


Definition: Differentiation strategy, as the name suggests, is the strategy that aims to distinguish a product or service, from other similar products, offered by the competitors in the market. It entails development of a product or service, that is unique for the customers, in terms of product design, features, brand image, quality, or customer service.
Differentiation strategy is one of three Porter's Generic Strategy; others are cost leadership and focus.
When a firm pursues differentiation strategy, it attempts to become unique in the industry, by offering those products and services, which have value to the customers. In this strategy, the firm picks one or more such dimensions that are regarded as important by the customer's flock. In this way, the firm succeeds in creating a unique image in the market and gets the premium price for its uniqueness.
Product: To have an edge over the competitors, a company can offer innovative products to its customers that best fulfils their requirements. This may involve a huge cost in research and development, production and marketing. Nevertheless, the return on investment is more than the cost involved, as the firm becomes the market leader in offering that product.
Pricing: Market forces, i.e. supply and demand decides the price of the product, so it tends to fluctuate and is greatly affected by product value to the customer. To gain differentiation through pricing, either a firm can charge the lowest price for its product or gain superiority by charging maximum prices.
Organisation: Differentiation can also be based on organization, wherein a firm earns success through the brand name, location advantage, goodwill and customer loyalty etc.
Nevertheless, the strategy is subject to certain risks like imitation by competitors, change in trend, change in customer tastes etc.
Provide utility to the customers, by offering such product that perfectly matches their needs and preferences.
Set the price of the product based on the features of the product and purchasing power of the customer.
Create a brand image, by ensuring better quality, services and customer satisfaction.
To successfully implement differentiation strategy, all a firm needs to do is a careful analysis of customer's requirements and preferences, to identify the feasibility of integrating various differentiating features into a unique product, that contains desired attributes.
On the successful implementation of the strategy, the firm can price the product higher than its competitors and receive customer loyalty, as the consumers may be accustomed to the unique features. Differentiation features may include, product performance, ease of use, useful life, superior service and so forth.
The current technological era make it difficult for organizations to attain differentiation.
What then is the best way to attain differentiation in these times?


The day came that my fiancé and I were ready to bring a little one into the world. One day came that I took my pregnancy test and I left it on the window and went to work. When I got back home and saw it, I realized that I was pregnant. Like all others, we took several different brands just to make sure. The happiest day of our lives was here. After starting out appointments, we were getting excited and ready for our little one to come into our world. However, this was all suddenly stopped at seven weeks when I began to bleed. We went to the ER on Sunday and were told that the baby was normal and the heart beat was 120 bpm and that the spotting was normal. As the days went on, cramps started to come on and the spotting turned into bleeding. On Wednesday we went for our first ultrasound and were worried when we were told that the bpm dropped to 85. We were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat for the first time. As the night went on, the bleeding and cramping came on hard and I noticed blood clots. Knowing something wasn't right, we went to the hospital were they preformed an emergency ultrasound and this was when we were told that we were no longer pregnant and the baby had passed. We may never know why this has happened to us, but we also know that only God knows and that our child is in a better place. My heart is broken, but we will try in the future for our long awaited baby. God Bless.
Princess Arlene was here and now is gone.
I am 25 years old, and was 38 weeks pregnant when my little Arlene Deanna Cathleen was stillborn on July 30th, 2010, she weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 15 oz and was 19.5 inches long. On the 29th of July at my regular ob visit her heartbeat was 154 and she was completly healthy, at 3 o'clock in the morning on the 30th my water broke and my mom rushed me to the hospitol where the doctors tried to find a heartbeat but could not find one. When the doctor told me that she had died I felt like I had died right along with her. How could this be, I've felt her move, heard her little heartbeat and everything just hours before how could she be gone. The autopsy report didn't have any answers for me and I will never know why my baby had to die. Every day I wake up and wonder what I could of done so that she could be here with us and not a day goes by that I don't imagine what she would be like. I miss her so much and it hurts so bad not having my little princess with me.
IT was january 25 th 2008 . i was nine and half months pregnant . Earlier that morning i was feeling discomfort and pain lying in bed was unbearable. so i got up and went to the bathroom. As i began to urinate i felt no movement as i usually do every morning when i urinate. i began to panic then my mucuse plug came down and i began contracting. I woke my husband up and told him that i needed to be rushed to the hospital immediatly.On the way to the hospital i felt no fetal movement at all but just contraction pain. i was in so much pain and all i kept thinking was there is something wrong . As i made my way to the emgergency room the nurses put me on a bed in the triage room with 3 other mothers to be . A nurse came in and examined me along witha black male doctor . The doctor said i was 7centimeters so i thought to myself that i wouldnt be that far along. then the nurse tried to put the heart monitor on my stomach and i noticed that she had a puzzled look on her face .She took the heart monitor off my stomach and asked for the doctor to come in . The doctor did a sonagram on my stomach and then requested that another doctor come in and do another sonagram . then he asked for a female sonagropher to come an take a look. abay then i akready knew that something was terribly wrong with the baby. Then the female sonagrapher looked at me and told me that she was sorry and taht my sons heart had stopped . i was in shock and disbelief. I screamed i kicked and told the doctors that i did everything right how could this be. My obgyn finally arrived and had to diliver my son stillborn. it was the worst feeling in the world . All i can remember is looking at the clock above the tv in the hospital and silently said HAPPY BIRTHDAY to myself.MY HUSBAND AND I FILED FOR DIVORSE NOT TOO LONG AFTER.
I was finally expecting our 5th baby after 3 years of praying and over a year of trying. They were worried at first cause the ultrasound showed did not show eveything. A week later all was there.. I was very sick and heartburn hit right away.. Finally a heartbeat, our baby was growing..Went in again for bleeding..it was previa our baby was fine. Went in at 18 weeks for our ultrasound and she was perfect.. Her heart had dropped from 164 to 125 but they said very normal.. They didn't get a good look at her heart so back in 6 weeks,, In 2 weeks after that, I noticed WAY less movement.. EVERYTHING ON INTERNET said to be checked. but i thought she was just like my other girls..lazy and I would feel her...i thought Then my heartburn started leaving.. i thought the meds were working.. still no big alarms... went in July 16th ( i was 25 weeks along) and was told her heart had stopped weeks before and she had already started changing.. Gave birth to her on July 18, 2010. She was perfect besides her color..she weighed 7.4 oz and was 10 inches long..Long fingers and legs, a little hair that looked blond. I held her, alot, so did dadd, and her brother and sisters, grnadma and grandpa, kept her in the room with us till we had to leave a day later, Had the funeral home get her before i left so I did not leave her in the hospital. Leaving her was just as hard as hearing our baby has died. we had a funneral for her and a stone made. I go every few days still and check her flowers or replace them and spend hours talking to her. I have peacec when I leave. Its been 2 weeks and i am getting better but still can't sleep. I miss my Ally Grace so much.. We still don't have answers yet and may not.. I want to try again..but am scared to death too as well.. The only thing I can tell others is lean on GOD and GOD alone. He is My strength, My peace, my comfortor.. NO WAY could I do this wothout HIM.. I still cry, ache for her, smell her clothes, look at her pics we took, and think about her daily.. BUT God is making it more barable.
Writting things in a journal helps too.. My heart aches with you all who have lost babies.. Trust me.. Leaning on God is the answer.. You still hurt and miss your baby But HE makes it a tad easier... and the Bible says..to be absent form the body is to be present with the Lord.. If she can't be in my arms and with me.. I am glad she is with the Lord...He is the best daddy and I know being saved, i will see her again soon.

You know how Homer Simpson sometimes gets confused about what he thinks and what he says out loud? I did that today. When the cute guy at the curry place gave me my curry-to-go, I meant to say "thankyou" but instead I said "oh god, you're so cute".
When I first starting working for my first job in multimedia (and I've probably told this story before, I have a habit of holding on to moments and torturing those around me by retelling them over and over) we had to deliver part of a CBT to a client. I had only been working there for about 8 weeks as an assistant, doing this thing and that thing as required. We delivered the product - me along for the ride to "experience" this phase of the development. The client ran the program on site, with their production team and my boss all puffed-out-chest-proud. And the errors started.. and the files didn't run.. and there were spelling errors, and then it stopped working all together. I looked up and my boss who had been snuffling and edging towards the door had suddenly found somewhere he needed to be and there was I, his assistant, alone with the unhappy client and a very broken program. It was horrible. I vowed that would *never* happen ever again if I could help it and there would be more control about testing before a product left our office and I also realised, I wasn't the assistant if anything was going to get done to any degree I would just have to try really hard to make it happen.
Today, it sort of happened again - but not to the same degree - but not far off it. And for all the same reasons - tight deadline, rushing, not enough checking, the team not all on the same page. This time, some of the blame can lie on Macromedia's woeful documentation but only a little bit because we should have tested on a client similar machine before we even got to site. Understandably, the client isn't very happy. We have a "plan of attack" to sort out the problems, but it's a real shame they exist at all, and hopefully I'll remember not to let them happen again. Often, when budgets and timelines are tight, testing is the first area to be cut back but it is *always* false economy to do so. You lose time and face and neither can be regained.
I am very busy at work. We're all very busy - staff numbers are low due to a couple of different reasons. I've hired a person for a week to do my job because I just don't have the time to do it myself. It's going to be nice having another designer in the house. For a little while, at least: I will be a department.
And Rosie? (the project I'm talking about in the paragraph above isn't your big one, its my little one) and James too for that matter... I've been meaning to write and I will I truly will. I miss you both and hope you're having a wonderful time.


When considering where to buy your flooring there are some questions you need to ask.
The quality of cypress does vary depending on where it is found. This is due to the climatic conditions where the trees grow. For example, cypress harvested from the South West towards the Victorian border is much heavier in knots and usually contains a fair percentage of casement knots (casement knots are those that frequently will fall out). Cypress harvested from the Piliga region of New South Wales has far less knots. Timber from this region has a high percentage of inter grown knots that form part of the timber and therefore will not fall out. Piliga cypress (north western New South Wales) is considerably richer in colour than that harvested in some other areas and parts of Queensland.
Cypress is usually kiln dried but sometimes air dried. The advantage of kiln drying cypress is that it speeds up the drying time and at the same time reduces the incidence of excessive variations in the moisture content of individual boards. When purchasing cypress or hardwood flooring it must be dried to the Australian standard of 10-15% moisture content. A period for local acclimatization to local atmospheric conditions is recommended.
The end matching of timber flooring is not new. End matching has been available for some years now but some cypress sawmillers still do not provide this service. End matching means there's a tongue and grooved joint on the ends of each floor board as well as on the edges. This means the boards can be joined anywhere on the floor even if not over a joist. End matching saves you 5% in timber as there's considerably less offcut. It also saves time in laying your floor as you no longer have to square cut the ends of the boards on the job.
We stock a full range of cypress flooring. When ordering we speak in terms of coverage. Coverage is what you see when the floor is laid, this being the width of each board not including the tongue. Stock sizes are - 62mm, 75mm, 85mm, 98mm, 100mm and 135mm.
This popular flooring often displays several colours from light straw to variegated browns in a single piece. It has highly decorative grain with termite resistance and many qualities not present in many other flooring species.


Two suspects are wanted in connection with an armed robbery at a gas station.
VINELAND – There's a reward of up to $1,000 for the person who gives police information leading to the arrest and conviction of the two suspects who held up a South Delsea Drive gas station last month.
About 3:30 a.m. May 15, two suspects robbed the Gulf Gas Station, located at 469 S. Delsea Drive, according to information released Wednesday by police.
The store's video surveillance footage shows the suspects approaching the gas station from the southeast side of the property, adjacent to Pantry 1 on West Chestnut Avenue.
Inside the store, one of the suspects was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun, police said. The suspects fled the scene with cash and merchandise, heading back toward the area of West Chestnut Avenue.
Police waited to release the information while working to get enhanced photos from the surveillance video, which they are now releasing, according to detectives.
Crime Stoppers is posting the reward. Anyone who can identify the suspect is asked to contact the Vineland Police Department at (856) 691-4111.
You may also call Crime Stoppers at (856) 691-0345, or the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 453-0486.

DANCE THEATRE OF HARLEM RECEIVES
$10 MILLION GIFT
FROM PHILANTHROPISTS
MACKENZIE SCOTT and DAN JEWETT
LARGEST CONTRIBUTION IN COMPANY HISTORY
ENSURES PROSPEROUS FUTURE AND
CONTINUED LEGACY OF DIVERSITY IN DANCE
(New York, NY – June 15, 2021) – Virginia Johnson, Artistic Director and Founding Member of Dance Theatre of Harlem, along with the company's Executive Director, Anna Glass, announced today a $10 million gift from author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott and educator and philanthropist Dan Jewett. This transformative contribution to the trailblazing organization will ensure DTH's legacy of artistic excellence, robust training and community-engagement while supporting the vital leadership and institutional framework for years to come. The gift from Ms. Scott and Mr. Jewett is the largest single contribution in the esteemed company's 52-year history and comes at a time when DTH and artistic companies around the world have had to pivot in response to a pandemic that has made live performance all but impossible for more than a year. This significant support follows an extraordinary gift received in November 2020 from the Ford Foundation, which also named Dance Theatre of Harlem as one of America's Cultural Treasures, and an equally paramount gift from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in January 2020 earmarked for much-needed capacity building. For more information on DTH, please visit www.DanceTheatreOfHarlem.org.
Influential philanthropists, MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett, came forward this week as Dance Theatre of Harlem's single largest benefactor in company history with a gift of $10 million, an unprecedented commitment to upholding the legacy of Arthur Mitchell and continuing his groundbreaking work in the world of dance begun 52 years ago.
Ms. Scott and Mr. Jewett joined The Giving Pledge, in which signatories agree to give away a majority of their acquired wealth. In less than two years, Scott has spearheaded a new wave of philanthropy, investing directly in institutions and nonprofit organizations such as Dance Theatre of Harlem with generous gifts that will ensure an upward trajectory for many years to come.
Ms. Scott stated in her recent blog announcement, "People struggling against inequities deserve center stage in stories about change they are creating. The social structures that inflate wealth present obstacles to them. And despite those obstacles, they are providing solutions that benefit us all." You can read Ms. Scott's full announcement, here.
Virginia Johnson, Anna Glass, and DTH Board Chairman Ackneil Muldrow, III made the following joint statement today: "When Arthur Mitchell founded Dance Theatre of Harlem, he invested his own financial resources and sold personal property in order to keep the organization afloat. Despite world-wide artistic acclaim, DTH has struggled financially over the years due to a lack of access to resources, highlighting the inequity that exists within philanthropy for organizations that are led by people of color. We are grateful to Ms. Scott and Mr. Jewett for this extraordinary and transformative gift that will propel this institution onto a pathway towards financial stability. More importantly, however, we want to thank Ms. Scott and Mr. Jewett for recognizing our 52-year history of advancing and leading the conversation of racial equity and social justice in ballet."
Ms. Scott and Mr. Jewett's gift comes just as Dance Theatre of Harlem begins to navigate re-entering the world of live, in-person touring and performance, a vital component of this organization's mission, at the same time it begins to re-imagine the traditional non-profit model in a year that has financially shaken the sector to its core. This incredible financial commitment to DTH will allow the company to focus directly on the work at hand in strengthening the organization while advancing its mission-driven work.
Throughout the last year, DTH has not been discouraged by the quick pivot to digital entertainment, instead embracing the ability to share archival performances with new audiences not reached by their traditionally extensive touring engagements. The series, DTH On Demand, streamed current and iconic work to screens around the world, most recently featuring John Taras' ravishing production of Firebird; the 1988 ballet John Henry, created by DTH co-founder Arthur Mitchell; and Resident Choreographer Robert Garland's New Bach, which also landed the company on national broadcast television in an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The Dance Theatre of Harlem School is the first component of the company to announce a return to in-person events. Following their Virtual Summer Minis for children ages 3-8 and Virtual Summer Intensives for students ages 7-24, students will once again take to the barre in the studio beginning in October. Providing high-quality classical ballet and dance training to children and youth ages 3-18, The DTH School ensures that students of diverse backgrounds feel inspired and supported by providing a physically and emotionally safe space where students are encouraged to explore their greatest potential as growing artists.
Dance Theatre of Harlem co-founders Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook carefully crafted a vision for classical ballet that would serve as a beacon for the artform worldwide. More than five decades later, Dance Theatre of Harlem remains grounded in its deep commitment to honor its legacy, as well as its principal values of access, opportunity, and excellence, buttressing a vision for a future in which ballet belongs to everyone and fully embraces the contributions of diverse communities.

Each component of Dance Theatre of Harlem carries a solid commitment towards enriching the lives of young people and adults around the world through the arts. Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, Dance Theatre of Harlem was considered "one of ballet's most exciting undertakings" (The New York Times, 1971). Shortly after the assassination of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mitchell was inspired to start a school that would offer children — especially those in Harlem, the community in which he was born — the opportunity to learn about dance and the allied arts. Now in its fifth decade, Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown into a multi-cultural dance institution with an extraordinary legacy of providing opportunities for creative expression and artistic excellence that continues to set standards in the performing arts.
