Introduced by Assembly Member Chau
(Principal coauthor: Senator Lara)
An act to add and repeal Sections 756 and 756.5 of the Evidence Code and Section 68567 of the Government Code, relating to legal services.
AB 1127, Chau. Legal aid: court interpreters.
Existing law requires, when a witness is incapable of understanding the English language or expressing himself or herself in the English language so as to be understood directly by counsel, court, and jury, an interpreter to be sworn to interpret for him or her. Existing law requires the Judicial Council to conduct a study of language and interpreter use and need in court proceedings, with commentary, and to report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and to the Legislature every 5 years. Existing law requires that this study serve as the basis for determining the need to establish interpreter programs and certification and for establishing these programs and examinations through the normal budgetary process.
This bill would require the Judicial Council, by March 1, 2014, to establish a working group to review, identify, and develop best practices to provide interpreters in civil actions and proceedings, as specified. The bill would require the Judicial Council to select up to 3 courts to participate in a pilot project, to commence on July 1, 2014, to provide interpreters in civil proceedings and would require the Judicial Council to report to the Legislature findings related to the pilot project by July 1, 2018. The pilot project would be funded by an amount not to exceed $6 million dollars from the Trial Court Trust Fund, upon allocation by the Judicial Council pursuant to the Judicial Council's existing expenditure authority, or upon appropriation by the Legislature, from unexpended funds previously allocated for court interpreter services. The bill would also require the working group to act as an advisory body to any Judicial Council committee, advisory board, or joint committee charged with developing a comprehensive statewide Language Access Plan (LAP) for use by courts to address the needs of all limited-English-proficient individuals in conformance with state and federal law. The bill would require the working group to make recommendations relating to the establishment of standards for meaningful and timely provision of language services in all court proceedings and at all public points of contact within the courts, and the establishment of a statewide plan to provide for the translation of court documents using competent and qualified interpreters. The bill would require the Judicial Council and its advisory bodies to submit an interim report to the Legislature on the status of the LAP by September 1, 2014. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2020.
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO
The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(a) California is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the nation. As language diversity continues to increase, there is a greater need to ensure that all Californians have meaningful access to the court system.
(b) There continues to be a need to expand and improve California's ability to provide language assistance within the judicial system.
(c) Currently, California has not developed statewide best practices to address the needs of limited-English-proficient individuals in all court proceedings and at all public points of contact within our courts.
(d) There continues to be a shortage of information and data needed to determine what resources the state needs to provide court interpreters in civil proceedings. In order to plan for the successful implementation of language access services in civil proceedings, information must be gathered on how to maximize the use of existing resources, and the need for language access. A pilot program is the most efficient way to gather information from courts as it relates to interpreter services and language access.
(e) The continuing shortage of certified and registered interpreters for particular languages and various geographic regions of California impacts the state's ability to provide meaningful access to justice for all court users.
Section 756 is added to the Evidence Code, to read:
(a) (1) On or before March 1, 2014, the Judicial Council shall establish a working group to review, identify, and develop best practices to provide interpreters in civil actions and proceedings. The best practices developed by the working group shall be used in carrying out the pilot project described in Section 756.5.
(2) In developing the best practices for the pilot project, the working group shall consider ways to maximize the use of existing resources and other practices that will assist courts to deploy interpreters effectively in civil proceedings.
(3) The best practices shall include training guidelines to be utilized by the courts participating in the pilot project described in Section 756.5 to ensure that court interpreters receive training necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 756.5.
(b) The working group shall include court executive officers, presiding judges, interpreter coordinators, three interpreters who shall be nominated by an exclusive representative of interpreter employees, experts in training and best practices in the field of court interpretation, representatives of legal services organizations, and organizations representing individuals with limited English proficiency, and others that the Judicial Council determines necessary. The working group shall also include a representative from a rural community.
(c) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date.
Section 756.5 is added to the Evidence Code, to read:
756.5.
(a) The working group described in Section 756 shall select up to three courts to participate in a pilot project, which shall commence on or before July 1, 2014, to provide interpreters in civil proceedings as specified in this section.
(b) (1) The pilot project shall be conducted for the purpose of creating models for effectively providing interpreters in civil matters and implementing best practices.
(2) The pilot project, including costs of administration and the preparation of the report to the Legislature required in subdivision (h), may be funded by an amount not to exceed six million dollars ($6,000,000) from the Trial Court Trust Fund, upon allocation by the Judicial Council pursuant to the Judicial Council's existing expenditure authority, or upon appropriation by the Legislature, from unexpended funds previously allocated for court interpreter services. The costs of administration and the preparation of the report to the Legislature required in subdivision (h) shall not exceed three percent of the total funding allocation.
(c) Interpreters shall be provided by the pilot courts as follows:
(1) The pilot courts shall provide interpreters to any party in a civil proceeding who is present and who does not proficiently speak or understand the English language for the purpose of interpreting the proceedings in a language that the party understands and assisting communications between the party, his or her attorney, and the court.
(2) If the pilot courts expend more than 75 percent of the funding described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) within the first 24 months of the pilot project, pilot courts may prioritize interpreter services in the following types of actions and proceedings, for purposes of this pilot project:
(A) Actions and proceedings under Section 527.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(B) Actions and proceedings brought under the Family Code.
(C) Actions and proceedings relating to unlawful detainer.
(D) Actions and proceedings involving the appointment or termination of a probate guardian or conservator.
(E) Actions or proceedings under the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (Chapter 11 (commencing with Section 15600) of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code).
(3) The pilot courts shall develop a methodology for deploying available interpreter resources and funds described in subdivision (b) if needed. Pilot courts shall establish protocols to ensure that parties who speak limited or no English and need interpreter services are identified at the earliest point of contact with the court system and informed that interpreter services are available. A pilot court shall not be obligated to provide services under this section that are not funded by this pilot project.
(4) Interpreters shall be certified or registered pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 68560) of Chapter 2 of Title 8 of the Government Code. Subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section 755 shall apply to proceedings described in this section.

(2) The report shall also describe, to the extent possible, the impact of the availability of interpreters on access to justice and on court administration and efficiency.
(i) Nothing in this chapter shall limit or restrict courts from providing interpreters in civil proceedings when those services are already being provided or in matters in which the judicial officer deems it necessary to appoint an interpreter.
(j) Nothing in this chapter shall alter or negate the application of the Trial Court Interpreter Employment and Labor Relations Act (Chapter 7.5 (commencing with Section 71800) of Title 8 of the Government Code) to the provision of interpreters pursuant to this section.

Raimondo Proposes Two Years of Free College for Every Rhode Islander
Reynaldo Almonte January 16, 2017 Raimondo Proposes Two Years of Free College for Every Rhode Islander2017-01-16T11:59:41-05:00 Featured, LPR News No Comment
Rhode Island's Promise' will make Rhode Island the nation's first state to offer free college for every student
PROVIDENCE, RI – Governor Gina M. Raimondo today at the Ministers Alliance of Rhode Island's 34th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Breakfast, announced a historic proposal to knock down the financial barriers to obtaining a college degree by providing two years of free college to all Rhode Islanders.
Raimondo's free-college plan, Rhode Island's Promise, guarantees two years of free college for every Rhode Island student at who graduates on time from the Community College of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island, beginning with high school seniors who graduate this spring.
"Rhode Island's Promise honors our commitment to Rhode Island students who are asking for nothing more than a fair chance," Governor Raimondo said, speaking to hundreds of people who attended the Ministers Alliance of Rhode Island's 34th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Breakfast. "When I was my children's age, most jobs in Rhode Island required nothing more than high school degree. But for all of our kids, that's not the case anymore. The reality is most jobs being created now in Rhode Island will require some degree or certificate beyond a high school diploma. We are going to stand up and make the college dream a reality for every Rhode Islander who wants it."
The Governor's free-college plan covers the entire cost of tuition and mandatory fees for full-time students who qualify for in-state tuition earning an associate's degree at CCRI. At RIC and URI, the scholarship will cover tuition and fees for a student's junior and senior years.
"Governor Raimondo has proposed a historic education program that will provide students and their families with an even greater potential to achieve their dreams," said URI President David M. Dooley. "The Rhode Island Promise Scholarship is truly innovative in that it is designed to accelerate the number of students completing degree programs while also significantly cutting the cost of their education. As I promote the University of Rhode Island and the state around the globe I am confident the Rhode Island Promise Scholarship will be the program that distinguishes our state as an education leader committed to the success of its entire citizenry."
Rhode Island's Promise will be a significant step in helping young Rhode Islanders to get a college degree. Almost 90 percent of Rhode Island 12th graders say that they plan to attend college, yet less than two thirds of students enroll. At the same time, there is an immediate need for more Rhode Islanders to obtain a higher education. More than 70 percent of jobs in Rhode Island will require a postsecondary degree in the coming years, yet less than half of the state's adult population currently has a degree beyond high school.
"Having a college degree is a critical component to achieving economic success," said Rhode Island College President Frank D. Sanchez. "The Rhode Island Promise Scholarship proposed by Governor Raimondo will significantly increase access to a college education for Rhode Islanders, providing greater social mobility for all students and, in turn, helping to drive our state's economy. Eighty percent of Rhode Island College's graduates stay, live and work in Rhode Island. We wholeheartedly support any effort to expand access to postsecondary education and fill the gap many students face when trying to afford tuition."
Currently, the increased cost of higher education discourages many from attending college or prevents them from completing their course of study when they get there. Low-income students spend nearly 75 percent of their family's income to cover the cost of college. Middle-class students spend more than a third of their family income. Nearly three out of four students take on debt to earn a degree. Students currently graduate from Rhode Island's public colleges with an average debt of more than $35,000 – the second highest of any state.
"We know that our students face significant financial challenges that can stall or even stop their progress," said Meghan Hughes, President of the Community College of Rhode Island. "By offering two years of free college to our state's high school graduates, the Rhode Island's Promise increases their ability to persist, complete their associate degrees and certificate programs, and pursue a bachelor's degree and high-quality careers right here in Rhode Island."
College debt is not just an issue for borrowers; it drags on the state's economy by preventing Rhode Islanders from buying homes and starting small businesses. Concerns about high college costs keep college-qualified low-income students from applying and enrolling in college. Low income and first generation students lag behind their more advantaged peers in college enrollment by more than 30 percent.
"This initiative will set our state apart as having a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of the 21st economy," said Barbara S. Cottam, chair of the state Board of Education. "It will also signal to our students that they will have the chance to achieve their dreams."
The $30 million cost of the program will be paid for through new revenues made available as a result of economic growth and tough choices the State has made in recent years to get its fiscal house in order.

News National 2016 10 23 MKM's Sweat For Charity Fun Run attracts 280 participants
MKM's Sweat For Charity Fun Run attracts 280 participants
24 October 2016 Rafidah Hamit National 2 minutes, 22 seconds
MORE than 280 people from all walks of life took part in the Brunei Council on Social Welfare's (MKM) Fun Run yesterday.
Themed 'Sweat For Charity', it was among the projects and activities organised by MKM to raise funds for the underprivileged and senior citizens.
The run was also aimed at instilling care and concern for the country's less fortunate and elderly.
Held at Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, the event kicked off with a Zumba session followed by the run, which was divided into a 5km male category and 2.5km female category.
Present to flag off the run was the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS), Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Lailaraja Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Hj Awang Halbi Hj Mohd Yusof.
Coming in first place for the male category was Ak Mohd Mazni Pg Saifudin followed by second and third place winners Mezedi Hj Othman and Md Firdaus Al-Islam Md Zain.
In the female category, Nurul Nawwarah Noor finished first, followed by Ayu Annur Nazihah Hj Mustapa and Adizah Perami in second and third place.
Among the participants was 20-year-old university student Ashfina Hafzal.
"There are so many events going on today, but I chose to participate in this particular run in the hope that my contribution will help those in need," she said.
Ashfina was accompanied by her two sisters and friend who also joined the run for the sake of charity.
"Apart from that, of course, are the health benefits. Since it's a fun run, my friends and I just took it easy and encouraged those who felt demotivated along the way.
"I'd love to do more. So hopefully, MKM will organise more runs or activities that I can take part in soon," she said.
Meanwhile, 32-year-old Mikael Ahmad participated in the run with his wife and daughter.
"I always make it a point to my family that we must do what we can to give back, so I also encouraged my wife and daughter to join."
Since it was a fun run, the family ran at the same pace, he said, adding they would encourage each other if one of them was slowing down.
"It's definitely a great family and friend activity. Not only are you running to be healthy and helping charity, you're also strengthening the bonds with those around you."
"I'm also very happy that us Bruneians have become people who want to participate in runs or any other healthy activities. I hope this will be continued by generations to come," said the civil servant.
MKM President Datin Paduka Hjh Intan Hj Mohd Kassim in a statement said the public response towards the run was encouraging.
"Alhamdulillah, this gives us inspiration to continue our charity and welfare work to help the underprivileged in the country."


Memory and learning involve activity-driven expression of proteins and cytoskeletal reorganisation at new synapses, often requiring post-transcriptional regulation a long distance from corresponding nuclei. A key factor expressed early in synapse formation is Msp300/Nesprin-1, which organises actin filaments around the new synapse. How Msp300 expression is regulated during synaptic plasticity is not yet known. Here, we show that the local translation of msp300 is promoted during activity-dependent plasticity by the conserved RNA binding protein Syncrip/hnRNP Q, which binds to msp300 transcripts and is essential for plasticity. Single molecule imaging shows that Syncrip is associated in vivo with msp300 mRNA in ribosome-rich particles. Elevated neural activity alters the dynamics of Syncrip RNP granules at the synapse, suggesting a change in particle composition or binding that facilitates translation. These results introduce Syncrip as an important early-acting activity-dependent translational regulator of a plasticity gene that is strongly associated with human ataxias.
Syncrip regulates synaptic plasticity via msp300 Titlow et al. find that Syncrip (hnRNPQ RNA binding protein) acts directly on msp300 to modulate activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. In vivo biophysical experiments reveal activity-dependent changes in RNP complex sizes compatible with an increase in translation at the synapse.


A car as special as yours deserves a special kind of insurance policy. That's where Adrian Flux can help. With over 40 years experience in arranging insurance for every kind of car imaginable, we will tailor a policy as unique as your vehicle. We know that owners of American cars are not like other motorists and the cover we arrange takes this into account. We have Special schemes with fantastic rates for all American cars, including US classics.
Members of most owners' clubs and forums can also benefit from discounts of up to 15%.
We offer flexible and competitive quotes for all circumstances, sourcing the best available scheme from amongst the many offered by our panel of over 40 insurers.
Many insurers run a mile from cars that were not built for the UK market, but, as experts in insuring all import cars, you will find that we probably know more about American cars than any of our competitors. We can arrange great cover whether your American dream-car is a Ford Mustang, Lincoln Continental or even a pink Cadillac.
Our staff are all seasoned insurance experts and will calculate your premium individually, using their expert knowledge of the many insurance schemes on offer. When you call us you will be speaking to a knowledgeable enthusiast, based in the UK, rather than a computer rate from a foreign call centre, which doesn't know a Cadillac Eldorado from a Chevy Corvette. Along with our tailor made American schemes we believe we offer the best quotation service around.
** Sample quotes are for comprehensive premiums for a male driver with a clean license and full No Claims Bonus (unless stated otherwise) and limited mileage of 3000 miles. Quotes for 5000 miles would add approximately 15% to the premium. These illustrative quotes, valid as at 29/03/2006, are provided for information only and do not form the basis of any contract or tender.


Gibraltar. It is located in a strategic position in Southern Europe, more precisely in the south of Spain, it overlooks the Straits of Gibraltar and is famous for its dramatic rock. Gibraltar is impressing but small and the territory is approximately 6.5 sq km and has 28,000 residents. The country is a member of the European Union and is fully independent in its fiscal governance while remaining a British Overseas Territory. It has its own elected House of Assembly, which legislates on domestic matters.
As part of European Union Gibraltar benefits from all of the advantages of a European company, but with much lower tax rate. Gibraltar offshore company formation is interesting for those who are looking for reputable European company for international business. Gibraltar enjoys special status within the Community and is exempted from the Common Customs Tariff, the Common Agricultural Policy and Value Added Taxation.
Incorporation of the company: 5-8 days. Approximately 15 days for delivery of original company documents.
The most cost-effective European jurisdiction.
The exempt certificate gave a 25 year guarantee of exemption from Gibraltarian taxes.
Gibraltar was the first European jurisdiction to offer the exempt company which allows a company to be controlled and managed from Gibraltar whilst still able to enjoy preferential tax status there.
Not as well established as its European competitors.

... The doctrine preached by Pres. Young for a few years back, wherein he says that Adam is our God---the God we worship---that most of the people believe this---some believe it because the President says so---others because they can find testimony in the Book of Mormon and Book of Doctrine and Covenants. Amasa Lyman stumbled on this, he did not believe it---he did not believe in the atonement of Jesus---Orson Pratt has also told the President that he does not believe it. This is not the way to act. We should not suffer ourselves to entertain one doubt. We are not accountable on points of doctrines if the President makes a statement. It is not our prerogative to dispute it. He is only accountable in points of doctrine. I have heard President Young avow the truth of Adam being our Father and God but have never heard him argue the question at all.
I thought I would speak briefly in relation to Adam being our God. Since the year 1852 when the President first spoke on this subject, I have frequently endeavored to reconcile what I have read with regard to this matter. I believe what the President says on the subject although it comes in contact with all our tradition. I have not any doubt in my mind but that Adam is our God. Who his God and Father may be, I have no knowledge. President Kimball spoke on this question recently and very plainly illustrated the character and relationship of our Father and God.
I am not disposed to question the discrepancies on this question of doctrine; if we live faithful all will become clear to us. We cannot become united only as we get united in understanding. When I first heard the doctrine of Adam being our Father and God, I was favorably impressed---enjoyed, and hailed it as a new revelation. It appeared reasonable to me, as the Father of our spirits that he should introduce us here. And what we do not see is only evidence that we have not the light necessary.

The Life and Travels of The Ellingers: Goat Rocks Backpacking - Amazing!
Immediately this hike became unique when we came across a random duck on the trail (with no visible pond nearby) who had abandoned her ducklings and was flying about the trees around us. We could hear the little ducklings on the side of the trail and at one point saw one spin down the trail ahead of us at a ridiculously fast pace for flippers and being a friggin' duck! The mosquito's weren't that bad but the guidebook said once we dropped down to cross over Goat Creek they would be... thankfully that wasn't the case. As we continued up the trail we began to see more and more wildflowers and even heard a falcon in the distance. The forest was beautiful with a lot of old growth.
the guidebook said it would.
possibly be the perfect backpacking trip. I don't say this just because of the views, but because of the layout of the trail as well. It was well maintained but it had a good mix of traversing alpine meadows in the sun then ducking into brief patches of trees with small streams and waterfalls running through them. This would be perfect for hot days.
my Sanyo to get a 10x zoom I confirmed that they were elk and we counted about 10-12 on the two snow patches. Not until we got home 2 days later did we notice when viewing the photos we took of them on our 52" tv that there was actually a whole herd of elk, and when I say there was about 60 I'm being conservative. We didn't see the other elk because they were lying down in the grass and shrubs between the two snow fields with only a few actually on the snow for contrast. We watched as them as we traversed the valley and saw that they were headed up the valley towards our campsite which excited us. Before reaching our destination, goat lake Emily also spotted a marmot on some rocks below our trail.
sporks for our Mountain House meals which we had to squeeze out of the bags once they were made. Watching Mt. Adams light up in orange and pink alpenglow was amazing and we will definitely bring wine with us on every backpacking trip from now on.
through another alpine meadow filled with beautiful alpine wildflowers and descended back into the trees below where we heard an owl off in the woods.
where I put all of the goat rock photos up on the TV for everyone to check out. The Watershed softball team had just played so many of them stopped by for a little bit. I've climbed over 2,000 miles in the outdoors and have reached the summit of nearly 250 peaks so when I say that this was the most beautiful hike I've ever been it is saying a lot. Instead of trying to fit all of the 250 photos we took in this blog entry I've actually created a Goat Rocks Gallery for people to check out.


Evidence continues to mount that patients' and visitors' impressions of a health care facility's interiors directly relate to customer satisfaction. Specifically, surveys show that people make judgments about the quality of care they receive based on the condition of the health care environment. The importance of cleanliness, condition of furnishings and pleasing design and colors is demonstrated by the hospital's environment.
An interior space with a distinct theme is common practice in restaurant and hotel design. But in recent years, more healthcare organizations, doctor's clinics, diagnostic centres, pathological labs, nursing homes, healthcare centres and hospitals have begun adopting themed designs—and with good reason. A memorable interior is one way a hospital or healthcare centre can stand out among its peers. At the same time, users—patients, families, and staff—have become accustomed to more refined and sophisticated designs in retail and hospitality spaces and expect the same from healthcare buildings.
Maxwell Interiors specialise in medical clinic design and fitout, with our services stretching from comprehensive interior design to complete construction and building of diagnostic centre, pathological centre, x-ray clinic, ultrasound clinic, health clinic, beauty- skin clinic, healthcare centre, nursing homes and hospitals.
With the success of your practice always in mind, our interior design services for hospital care industry are tailored to meet the needs of your practice and with your busy schedule so that nothing is overlooked in the transformation of your new practice. While hospital interior design concepts often are driven by budgets and schedules, good design solutions offer longevity, too. Consequently, designs for health care environments also must be flexible enough to accommodate tomorrow's breakthroughs to keep a hospital ahead of its competition.
Medical and Dental Space Planning is an indispensable guide to the myriad of details that make a medical or dental practice efficient and productive. The unique needs of more than thirty specialties, as well as primary care, are explained in the context of new technology and the many regulatory and compliance issues influencing design. Our aim in each medical centre design project is to deliver a finished clinic that is efficiently laid out, completely equipped, and attractive & comfortable for both patients and staff. From practical processes such as the first clinic floor plans and a medical fitout incorporating essential equipment, to dynamic and striking clinic reception design is top priority.
Our clinic design ideas embrace the art and science of healthcare design. We know what it takes to deliver aspects that are both practical and beautiful, from benches and table tops that are perfectly shaped yet easy to sanitise, to coordinated fixtures and décor, our approach combines medical centre fit out with clinic interior design in a seamless process. From pre design services to final interior design tasks, we'll help make sure that your interior design is completed on time and on budget.
It is the role of a design team to be mindful of potential growth and master planning at the start of each new project. Strategies for future flexibility include establishing a design language that determines where fixed elements are anchored within a project and where there may be need to change over time. Adaptive and flexible solutions might integrate new technologies, accommodate for new modalities and levels of care and offer expandability.
Your practice speaks more about you than you do, we believe what we see more than we hear. We believe we can help you achieve incredible success in your medical practice through outstanding medical office interior design. There is a blind spot in the professions that we exploit. Many practitioners concentrate on their clinical skills and may overlook the critical importance of their practice environment. Our practice presentation, including medical interior design, sends a clear message to patients that your practice is modern, sophisticated and attuned to their needs.
The interior design concepts and themes of Clinics and urgent care units are given priority. The demand for out-patient clinics and urgent care centres is growing and, because of the many helpful services they provide, these facilities need to be designed to accommodate the needs of people seeking immediate medical attention. Interior designers who specialize in health care clinics realize the need for creating cheerful, well illuminated waiting and patient care areas and the necessity for using durable – yet attractive – fabrics and finishes that can be maintained with the often harsh sanitizers and cleaners used in healthcare environments.
One doesn't usually experience a healing environment in the waiting area of an emergency room, yet this is often a patient's first impression of the hospital. For many it is the design of the hospital's "front door" because an increasing number of hospital admissions come through the emergency department. Special attention is given to make decisions about a broad range of items including furniture, flooring, wall coverings, lighting and cubicle curtains in any room of hospital area. Whether you're planning to update your surgery practice or healthcare clinic, get a fresh new clinic reception design, or schedule a complete dental clinic fit out, it's about more than state of the art equipment. Your practice should look and work in a specific way and that is where our expertise as a healthcare design firm shines.

As competition in the wind market increases, companies are seeking ways to draw greater efficiency from their designs. One of the predominant ways wind turbines have gained performance is by increasing rotor diameters, and thus blade length. Retrofitting current turbines with larger blades mitigates the need and risks associated with a system-level redesign. As the size of the blade increases, its tendency to deflect also increases. Thus, from a materials perspective, the stiffness-to-weight is of major importance. As the blades need to function over a 100 million load cycles over a period of 20–25 years, the fatigue life of the blade materials is also of utmost importance. By incorporating carbon fiber into parts of existing blade systems, manufacturers may increase the length of the blades without increasing their overall weight. For instance, the spar cap, a structural element of a turbine blade, commonly experiences high tensile loading, making it an ideal candidate to utilize the enhanced tensile properties of carbon fiber in comparison to glass fiber.[47] Higher stiffness and lower density translates to thinner, lighter blades offering equivalent performance. In a 10 (MW) turbine—which will become more common in offshore systems by 2021—blades may reach over 100 m in length and weigh up to 50 metric tons when fabricated out of glass fiber. A switch to carbon fiber in the structural spar of the blade yields weight savings of 20 to 30 percent, or approximately 15 metric tons.[48]
A: Modern solar panels typically last twenty to thirty years before there's a noticeable increase in output loss. Most residential solar providers offer a 20- to 25-year warranty, but many such warranties only guarantee a certain power output (e.g., a guarantee of 80% output for twenty years). Carefully read through the fine print to make sure you understand the warranty and what it covers.
This discussion is mainly about factory-made grid-tie wind turbines. The off-grid crowd has an entirely different set of decisions and goals. The main ones are that for off-grid use economic viability in comparison with the electrical grid is not an issue, and a wind turbine can make up for the loss of sunlight (and PV electricity) in the winter months. For the DIY group there are several good turbine designs available; Hugh Piggott and the two Dans have written books that outline this step-by-step. Building your own turbine can be a great hobby, and some of the topics touched below apply (such as proper site selection), but this discussion is not about those. The decisions involved in making your own turbine, and the cost basis, have little overlap with a the process of having an installer put a factory-made turbine in your backyard.
Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy such as methane gas or transportation fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Rotting garbage, and agricultural and human waste, all release methane gas – also called landfill gas or biogas. Crops, such as corn and sugarcane, can be fermented to produce the transportation fuel, ethanol. Biodiesel, another transportation fuel, can be produced from left-over food products such as vegetable oils and animal fats.[69] Also, biomass to liquids (BTLs) and cellulosic ethanol are still under research.[70][71] There is a great deal of research involving algal fuel or algae-derived biomass due to the fact that it's a non-food resource and can be produced at rates 5 to 10 times those of other types of land-based agriculture, such as corn and soy. Once harvested, it can be fermented to produce biofuels such as ethanol, butanol, and methane, as well as biodiesel and hydrogen. The biomass used for electricity generation varies by region. Forest by-products, such as wood residues, are common in the United States. Agricultural waste is common in Mauritius (sugar cane residue) and Southeast Asia (rice husks). Animal husbandry residues, such as poultry litter, are common in the United Kingdom.[72]
At GE, product evolution is at our core, and we are continuously working to develop the next generation of wind energy. Beginning in 2002 with one wind turbine model, we now offer a full suite of turbines created for a variety of wind environments. We offer increased value to customers with proven performance, reliability, and availability. Our portfolio of turbines feature rated capacities from 1.7 MW to 5.3 MW (Onshore) and 6 MW to 12 MW (Offshore), we are uniquely suited to meet the needs of a broad range of wind regimes.
Home wind turbines are electric generators that convert wind energy into clean, emission-free power. Although most large wind farms exist to power certain towns and communities, there are also smaller wind turbines for homes and homeowners. These smaller turbines can be installed on any part of your property to cover some or even all of your monthly energy needs.
The oldest solar thermal power plant in the world is the 354 megawatt (MW) SEGS thermal power plant, in California.[109] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a gross capacity of 377 MW.[110] The 280 MW Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage.[111]
Gary W. had no power lines near by. The electric company told him it would cost $10,000 a pole. He chose to purchase our medium sized system, The Homestead, one the most popular we sell. For an investment of under $20 Grand, he now lives where he wants, he is not tethered to the power company, and he does not have to worry about black outs or disconnection notices for late payments.
The most common type of residential solar is called solar PV. The PV stands for "photovoltaic," and a solar PV system is a electrical system that consists of solar panels, an inverter, a meter, and a few other components (mounting, cabling, etc.). A solar PV system requires little to no maintenance for years, and if you're in a place with the right amount of sunlight, you can end up saving money, while also going green.
At the end of 2014, worldwide PV capacity reached at least 177,000 megawatts. Photovoltaics grew fastest in China, followed by Japan and the United States, while Germany remains the world's largest overall producer of photovoltaic power, contributing about 7.0 percent to the overall electricity generation. Italy meets 7.9 percent of its electricity demands with photovoltaic power—the highest share worldwide.[119] For 2015, global cumulative capacity is forecasted to increase by more than 50 gigawatts (GW). By 2018, worldwide capacity is projected to reach as much as 430 gigawatts. This corresponds to a tripling within five years.[120] Solar power is forecasted to become the world's largest source of electricity by 2050, with solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power contributing 16% and 11%, respectively. This requires an increase of installed PV capacity to 4,600 GW, of which more than half is expected to be deployed in China and India.[121]
Several large-scale energy storage suggestions for the grid have been done. Worldwide there is over 100 GW of Pumped-storage hydroelectricity. This improves efficiency and decreases energy losses but a conversion to an energy storing mains electricity grid is a very costly solution. Some costs could potentially be reduced by making use of energy storage equipment the consumer buys and not the state. An example is batteries in electric cars that would double as an energy buffer for the electricity grid. However besides the cost, setting-up such a system would still be a very complicated and difficult procedure. Also, energy storage apparatus' as car batteries are also built with materials that pose a threat to the environment (e.g. Lithium). The combined production of batteries for such a large part of the population would still have environmental concerns. Besides car batteries however, other Grid energy storage projects make use of less polluting energy carriers (e.g. compressed air tanks and flywheel energy storage).
The energy it calculates is in kWh per year, the diameter of the wind turbine rotor is in meters, the wind speed is annual average for the turbine hub height in m/s. The equation uses a Weibull wind distribution with a factor of K=2, which is about right for inland sites. An overall efficiency of the turbine, from wind to electrical grid, of 30% is used. That is a reasonable, real-world efficiency number. Here is a table that shows how average annual wind speed, turbine size, and annual energy production relate:
Buying a wind turbine generator such as the Windmax HY1000 to produce wind energy is not easy and there are a lot of factors to take into account. Price is only one of them. Be sure to choose an electrical machine that meets your needs. If you are installing a grid-connected system, choose an AC mains voltage generator. If you are installing a battery-based system, look for a battery-charging DC generator. Also consider the mechanical design of a generator such as size and weight, operating speed and protection from the environment as it will spend all of its life mounted at the top of a pole or tower.
Thermal storage technologies allow heat or cold to be stored for periods of time ranging from hours or overnight to interseasonal, and can involve storage of sensible energy (i.e. by changing the temperature of a medium) or latent energy (i.e. through phase changes of a medium, such between water and slush or ice). Short-term thermal storages can be used for peak-shaving in district heating or electrical distribution systems. Kinds of renewable or alternative energy sources that can be enabled include natural energy (e.g. collected via solar-thermal collectors, or dry cooling towers used to collect winter's cold), waste energy (e.g. from HVAC equipment, industrial processes or power plants), or surplus energy (e.g. as seasonally from hydropower projects or intermittently from wind farms). The Drake Landing Solar Community (Alberta, Canada) is illustrative. borehole thermal energy storage allows the community to get 97% of its year-round heat from solar collectors on the garage roofs, which most of the heat collected in summer.[58][59] Types of storages for sensible energy include insulated tanks, borehole clusters in substrates ranging from gravel to bedrock, deep aquifers, or shallow lined pits that are insulated on top. Some types of storage are capable of storing heat or cold between opposing seasons (particularly if very large), and some storage applications require inclusion of a heat pump. Latent heat is typically stored in ice tanks or what are called phase-change materials (PCMs).
I ask Gore about the lessons he takes from Georgetown. "I think it's important to pay attention to a CPA who becomes a mayor and takes an objective look at how he can save money for the citizens of his community, even if it means ignoring ideological presuppositions about fossil energy. Especially when the mayor in question is in the heart of oil and gas country."
In an electricity system without grid energy storage, generation from stored fuels (coal, biomass, natural gas, nuclear) must be go up and down in reaction to the rise and fall of solar electricity (see load following power plant). While hydroelectric and natural gas plants can quickly follow solar being intermittent due to the weather, coal, biomass and nuclear plants usually take considerable time to respond to load and can only be scheduled to follow the predictable variation. Depending on local circumstances, beyond about 20–40% of total generation, grid-connected intermittent sources like solar tend to require investment in some combination of grid interconnections, energy storage or demand side management. Integrating large amounts of solar power with existing generation equipment has caused issues in some cases. For example, in Germany, California and Hawaii, electricity prices have been known to go negative when solar is generating a lot of power, displacing existing baseload generation contracts.[107][108]
America is embracing renewables, slowly. In 2016, Massachusetts passed a law promoting a huge investment in wind and hydropower; the first megawatt is expected to hit the grid in 2020. Early this year New York State announced plans to spend 12 years building the infrastructure for a $6 billion offshore wind power industry. Hawaii has pledged to be powered entirely by renewable energy—in 2045. Atlanta's goal is 2035 and San Francisco's is 2030. Typically, plans to convert to sustainable energy stretch on for decades.
With feed-in tariffs, the financial burden falls upon the consumer. They reward the number of kilowatt-hours produced over a long period of time, but because the rate is set by the authorities, it may result in perceived overpayment. The price paid per kilowatt-hour under a feed-in tariff exceeds the price of grid electricity. Net metering refers to the case where the price paid by the utility is the same as the price charged.
The energy number that is left over should be a good approximation of what you can expect from that VAWT. Compare the resulting numbers with those mentioned in just about all sales brochures of VAWT type turbines and it should be immediately clear that their marketing people are smoking The Good Stuff. There is no relation to physical reality in their numbers, they are consistently much too high. Keep in mind that the energy production numbers calculated here are 'best case'; for a turbine in nice, smooth air. Most VAWTs are placed very close to the ground, or on buildings, where there is little wind and lots of turbulence. Under those conditions they will do much, much worse than predicted.
With investment subsidies, the financial burden falls upon the taxpayer, while with feed-in tariffs the extra cost is distributed across the utilities' customer bases. While the investment subsidy may be simpler to administer, the main argument in favour of feed-in tariffs is the encouragement of quality. Investment subsidies are paid out as a function of the nameplate capacity of the installed system and are independent of its actual power yield over time, thus rewarding the overstatement of power and tolerating poor durability and maintenance. Some electric companies offer rebates to their customers, such as Austin Energy in Texas, which offers $2.50/watt installed up to $15,000.[96]
Climate change and global warming concerns, coupled with high oil prices, peak oil, and increasing government support, are driving increasing renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization.[10] New government spending, regulation and policies helped the industry weather the global financial crisis better than many other sectors.[24] According to a 2011 projection by the International Energy Agency, solar power generators may produce most of the world's electricity within 50 years, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that harm the environment.[25]
The electrical machine most commonly used for wind turbines applications are those acting as generators, with synchronous generators and induction generators (as shown) being commonly used in larger wind turbine generators, while smaller and home made wind turbines tend to use a low speed DC generator or Dynamo as they are small, cheap and a lot easier to connect up.
Biomass briquettes are increasingly being used in the developing world as an alternative to charcoal. The technique involves the conversion of almost any plant matter into compressed briquettes that typically have about 70% the calorific value of charcoal. There are relatively few examples of large-scale briquette production. One exception is in North Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where forest clearance for charcoal production is considered to be the biggest threat to mountain gorilla habitat. The staff of Virunga National Park have successfully trained and equipped over 3500 people to produce biomass briquettes, thereby replacing charcoal produced illegally inside the national park, and creating significant employment for people living in extreme poverty in conflict-affected areas.[18]
Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT), with the blades upwind of the tower produce the overwhelming majority of windpower in the world today. These turbines have the main rotor shaft and electrical generator at the top of a tower, and must be pointed into the wind. Small turbines are pointed by a simple wind vane, while large turbines generally use a wind sensor coupled with a yaw system. Most have a gearbox, which turns the slow rotation of the blades into a quicker rotation that is more suitable to drive an electrical generator.[25] Some turbines use a different type of generator suited to slower rotational speed input. These don't need a gearbox, and are called direct-drive, meaning they couple the rotor directly to the generator with no gearbox in between. While permanent magnet direct-drive generators can be more costly due to the rare earth materials required, these gearless turbines are sometimes preferred over gearbox generators because they "eliminate the gear-speed increaser, which is susceptible to significant accumulated fatigue torque loading, related reliability issues, and maintenance costs."[26]
In 2004, the German government introduced the first large-scale feed-in tariff system, under the German Renewable Energy Act, which resulted in explosive growth of PV installations in Germany. At the outset the FIT was over 3x the retail price or 8x the industrial price. The principle behind the German system is a 20-year flat rate contract. The value of new contracts is programmed to decrease each year, in order to encourage the industry to pass on lower costs to the end users. The programme has been more successful than expected with over 1GW installed in 2006, and political pressure is mounting to decrease the tariff to lessen the future burden on consumers.

A regular alternator out of a car needs to be modified to produce anything meaningful above a few volts if any at low RPM. If this guy is not totally bullshit lieing, he is using a modified PMA alternator (permanent magnet alternator) and if not the voltage he is so proudly showing is actually a voltage drop caused by the alternator using power to power it's field coil. This is very misleading to newcomers to the field of renewable energy and makes a mockery of it. And if he really wanted to help people build this he would have should people how to wire the alternator up . Including explaining things like the wires on the regulator the ignition switch , the stator and the field wires. This is why rednecks laugh at liberals because they see shit like this. .
A typical house usually requires a home wind turbine with a 5 kW generating capacity to meet all its energy requirements. A turbine that offers this much power would have to be around 13 to 18 feet in diameter and positioned in an area where strong winds often pass through. There are also plenty of smaller, cheaper turbines, but these variants produce less power and are less reliable than their more expensive counterparts.
As suppliers of inverters for turbines good, bad, and just plain ugly, we have pretty well seen it all when it comes to turbine failure. We can tell you unequivocally that you get what you pay for. Depending on your sense of adventure that can be good or bad; if you plan to go cheap, plan on (you) being the manufacturer's R&D department and test center. Being a really good do-it-yourselfer with an understanding of wind turbines, alternators, and all things electric will come in very handy too. Just in case you do not believe us, you can read about it in this Green Power Talk thread. There are more threads with similar content on the forum, just browse around a little.
Electricity produced by wind generators can be used directly, as in water pumping applications, or it can be stored in batteries for later use. Wind generators can be used alone, or they may be used as part of a hybrid system, in which their output is combined with that of solar panels, and /or a fossil fuel generator. Hybrid systems are especially useful for winter backup of home systems where cloudy weather and windy conditions occur simultaneously.

Some people, including Greenpeace founder and first member Patrick Moore,[67][68][69] George Monbiot,[70] Bill Gates[71] and James Lovelock[72] have specifically classified nuclear power as green energy. Others, including Greenpeace's Phil Radford[73][74] disagree, claiming that the problems associated with radioactive waste and the risk of nuclear accidents (such as the Chernobyl disaster) pose an unacceptable risk to the environment and to humanity. However, newer nuclear reactor designs are capable of utilizing what is now deemed "nuclear waste" until it is no longer (or dramatically less) dangerous, and have design features that greatly minimize the possibility of a nuclear accident. These designs have yet to be commercialized. (See: Molten salt reactor)

In 2007, the world's first turbine to create commercial amounts of energy using tidal power was installed in the narrows of Strangford Lough in Ireland. The 1.2 MW underwater tidal electricity generator takes advantage of the fast tidal flow in the lough which can be up to 4m/s. Although the generator is powerful enough to power up to a thousand homes, the turbine has a minimal environmental impact, as it is almost entirely submerged, and the rotors turn slowly enough that they pose no danger to wildlife.[48][49]

Around the world many sub-national governments - regions, states and provinces - have aggressively pursued sustainable energy investments. In the United States, California's leadership in renewable energy was recognised by The Climate Group when it awarded former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger its inaugural award for international climate leadership in Copenhagen in 2009.[156] In Australia, the state of South Australia - under the leadership of former Premier Mike Rann - has led the way with wind power comprising 26% of its electricity generation by the end of 2011, edging out coal fired generation for the first time.[156] South Australia also has had the highest take-up per capita of household solar panels in Australia following the Rann Government's introduction of solar feed-in laws and educative campaign involving the installation of solar photovoltaic installations on the roofs of prominent public buildings, including the parliament, museum, airport and Adelaide Showgrounds pavilion and schools.[157] Rann, Australia's first climate change minister, passed legislation in 2006 setting targets for renewable energy and emissions cuts, the first legislation in Australia to do so.[158]
Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is resulting in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits.[8] The results of a recent review of the literature[9] concluded that as greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters begin to be held liable for damages resulting from GHG emissions resulting in climate change, a high value for liability mitigation would provide powerful incentives for deployment of renewable energy technologies. In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power.[10] At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 percent of energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond.[11] Some places and at least two countries, Iceland and Norway generate all their electricity using renewable energy already, and many other countries have the set a goal to reach 100% renewable energy in the future. For example, in Denmark the government decided to switch the total energy supply (electricity, mobility and heating/cooling) to 100% renewable energy by 2050.[12]
There are two types of crystalline silicon, but it's likely you'll more often encounter monocrystalline silicon: it has a square-ish structure, and its high silicon content makes it more effective (and more expensive) than other panel materials. The other type of crystalline silicon, polycrystalline, is cheaper but less effective, so it's used when there's plenty of space (e.g., on a solar farm)—typically not on residential installs.
The early development of solar technologies starting in the 1860s was driven by an expectation that coal would soon become scarce. Charles Fritts installed the world's first rooftop photovoltaic solar array, using 1%-efficient selenium cells, on a New York City roof in 1884.[28] However, development of solar technologies stagnated in the early 20th century in the face of the increasing availability, economy, and utility of coal and petroleum.[29] In 1974 it was estimated that only six private homes in all of North America were entirely heated or cooled by functional solar power systems.[30] The 1973 oil embargo and 1979 energy crisis caused a reorganization of energy policies around the world and brought renewed attention to developing solar technologies.[31][32] Deployment strategies focused on incentive programs such as the Federal Photovoltaic Utilization Program in the US and the Sunshine Program in Japan. Other efforts included the formation of research facilities in the United States (SERI, now NREL), Japan (NEDO), and Germany (Fraunhofer–ISE).[33] Between 1970 and 1983 installations of photovoltaic systems grew rapidly, but falling oil prices in the early 1980s moderated the growth of photovoltaics from 1984 to 1996.

Warning: Dominant media nexus has gone far beyond pushing a partisan narrative
avg by N/A is licensed under Video Image N/A
Average Americans who attended the Jan.6, 2021 rally testified to positive and entirely peaceful experiences outside the Capitol building.
Special to WorldTribune, October 21, 2021
Analysis by Joe Schaeffer
This is NOT an article about media bias. This is about what the purveyors of that bias are attempting to do.
These people are out to hurt regular everyday Americans. To cause genuine pain and deprivation in their lives. But it's worse than that.
Item: Washington Post reporter: NOT being in an extremist group doesn't mean you aren't still an extremist...
This point can't be emphasized enough. The fixation on organized extremist groups obscures the fact that a large chunk of the country holds the same far-right views, minus formal membership. Some extremism analysts have called it a "mass radicalization." https://t.co/wpHGvIKYuI
— Hannah Allam (@HannahAllam) October 18, 2021
Hannah Allam was citing a particularly loathsome New York Times article published Oct. 16 that depicts a handful of average participants in the unrest on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6 as representative of an entire class of violent white Americans that is out to destroy democracy in America.
Note: Washington Post and New York Times staffers enjoy referencing each other. That's natural when you inhabit the same kennel on the ruling regime's ranch. You'll see it again later in this article.
Look out. That kind, friendly neighbor could very well be a domestic terrorist, according to the Washington Post and NYT. From the Times piece (bold added throughout this article):
Nearly a quarter of the more than 600 people arrested in connection with the riot have been charged with assaulting or impeding police officers. But only a handful of that subset have any ties to extremist provocateurs like the Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys. The most violent on Jan. 6, it seems, were the most ordinary — a slice of the Trump faithful.
They largely represent a group certain to have powerful sway in the nation's tortured politics to come: whiter, slightly older and less likely than the general voting population to live in a city or be college-educated. Recent studies indicate that they come from places where people tend to fear the replacement of their ethnic and cultural dominance by immigrants, and adhere to the false belief that the 2020 election was stolen.
This description generally fits the seven men, now bound together by federal prosecutors as co-defendants in an indictment charging them with myriad felonies. To a man, they are described in superlatives by relatives and friends: perfect neighbor, devout churchgoer, attentive father, good guy.
One of the authors of this tripe, Alan Feuer, wrote in a similar vein back in April, citing a biased "political scientist" – he's an expert! – that he read about in The Washington Post to buttress his claims that a mass movement of "ordinary" Americans is poised to break out in extremist violence in service to a far-right agenda:
When the political scientist Robert Pape began studying the issues that motivated the 380 or so people arrested in connection with the attack against the Capitol on Jan. 6, he expected to find that the rioters were driven to violence by the lingering effects of the 2008 Great Recession.
But instead he found something very different: Most of the people who took part in the assault came from places, his polling and demographic data showed, that were awash in fears that the rights of minorities and immigrants were crowding out the rights of white people in American politics and culture....
In his study, Mr. Pape determined that only about 10 percent of those charged were members of established far-right organizations like the Oath Keepers militia or the nationalist extremist group the Proud Boys. But unlike other analysts who have made similar findings, Mr. Pape has argued that the remaining 90 percent of the "ordinary" rioters are part of a still congealing mass movement on the right that has shown itself willing to put "violence at its core."
Think illegal immigration is a problem in America today? Congratulations. You are now a potential suicide bomber, New York Times and Washington Post-anointed expert Pape proclaims:
Recalling his early work with suicide bombers, Mr. Pape suggested that the country's understanding of what happened on Jan. 6 was only starting to take shape, much like its understanding of international terrorism slowly grew after Sept. 11.
"We really still are at the beginning stages," he said.
The sheer seething hatred for regular Americans is barely concealed on the pages of the once-respected Gray Lady. It has been flashed on other occasions as well.
A second of the three authors of the Times hit piece, Matthew Rosenberg, exhibited his profound contempt for middle America with this tweet about defamed Kentucky Catholic high school student Nicholas Sandmann on Jan. 20, 2019, when the progressive hysteria mob was still in full throat against the teen:
A thoughtful thread on the Covington Catholic students, and the school that shaped them. https://t.co/8Syoph3i27
— Matthew Rosenberg (@AllMattNYT) January 20, 2019
What shaped them, according to the cited thread? Whiteness.
Here is how Rosenberg breathlessly reported the unrest on Jan. 6:
As the country sifts through the shards of what happened in Washington on Wednesday, what comes into focus in the storming of the Capitol is a jumbled constellation of hard-core Trump supporters: a largely white crowd, many of them armed with bats, shields and chemical spray; some carried Confederate flags and wore costumes of fur and horns inspired by QAnon; they were mostly men but there were women, too.
Those who stormed the Capitol were just one slice of the thousands of Trump supporters who had descended on Washington to protest the certification of Joseph R. Biden's victory in November over President Trump. Their breach came with a confused and frenzied energy, fueled by the words of Mr. Trump just minutes before and the fervor of the mob standing behind them.
The key point must be re-emphasized: Don't focus on the political bias. Understand the atavistic hatred for ordinary Americans throbbing in plain view behind the political bias. David A. Graham, writing in The Atlantic on Oct. 18, spells things out in crystalline clarity with a lame and stale Civil War reference:
The problem with these myths, the Lost Cause and the New Lost Cause, is that they emphasize the valor of the people involved while whitewashing what they were doing. The men who died in Pickett's Charge might well have been brave, and they might well have been good fathers, brothers, and sons, but they died in service of a treasonous war to preserve the institution of slavery, and that is why their actions do not deserve celebration.
The January 6 insurrection was an attempt to subvert the Constitution and steal an election. Members of the crowd professed a desire to lynch the vice president and the speaker of the House, and they violently assaulted the seat of American government. They do not deserve celebration either.
Translation: Trespassers at the U.S. Capitol (if they were even that, as Capitol police are captured on film waving many of them into the building) are traitors who deserve death for their violent assault on democracy. Is any other interpretation of what this "journalist" writes possible? Graham removes any lingering doubt with this statement in a July 14 article at the same publication:
Biden's speech assumes a unified American people who support democratic norms, and it assumes that once they understand the threat posed to those norms, they'll be willing and able to fend it off. That nation is a chimera. Many Americans support these attacks on democracy, and those who don't face a system stacked against them.
In just these few highlighted paragraphs, Graham sets the table for every crime ever committed by a murderous Bolshevik in the name of The System. He "others" his opponents, bestowing upon them lesser value than that granted to obedient citizens of the regime. He equates them to an armed and martially organized internal enemy of the "people" via a grotesquely distorted summation of history. And he cements his indictment by declaring their current actions to be as equally violent and traitorous as those committed by that former enemy that had to be killed en masse in order to save the imperiled system.
The establishment media complex is not merely seeking to see its agenda prevail in U.S. politics and society. It truly desires the physical eradication of those who in their feverish minds represent the old America that must be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Home » What's The Best Water Softener For Well Water?
Installing a water softener is considered one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to remove minerals from well water. This guide will help you pick the best water softener for well water.
Don't forget to check out our detailed reviews of the best water softeners for well water you can buy right now.
Why Do I Need A Water Softener for Well Water?
The well water is pumped out of the ground by a water pump. It is considered VERY HARD water which contains lots of calcium and magnesium. These minerals pass through a home's plumbing system and leave deposits on pipes, appliances, and dishes. Well water also reacts with soaps, making them less efficient, and creates a soapy residue on bathtubs, storage water heaters, tankless hot water heaters, clothes, hair and skin.
In addition, several epidemiological investigations have demonstrated the relationship between risk for cardiovascular disease, growth retardation, reproductive failure, and other health problems and hardness of drinking water or its content of magnesium and calcium. Not only, calcium and magnesium, but other constituents of well water also affect different health aspects.
Water softeners can help remove minerals and contaminants in well water and will save you many hours in cleaning and extend the life of your plumbing and appliances.
After hardness in well water, iron is the most common water problem dealt with by homeowners with well water. It's naturally occurring in the soil and is washed into drinking water from rain and surface water run-off that seeps through the ground. Iron in well water can be a real problem and can cause staining of fixtures, sinks, flooring, and also most anything else it comes into contact with. Since it has so many undesirable properties, iron removal is important factor to consider when selecting the best water softener for well water.
More water softeners are used to remove iron from well water than any other devices or systems. Many of these installations are successful and consistently remove both hardness and iron. At other installations, intermittent leakage of iron through the softener occurs, but the total water quality improvement is so great that the users are reasonably satisfied.
However, in well water filtration system where a softener is removing both iron and hardness, the softener resin life is greatly reduced. Iron will eventually coat and clog the resin matrix and prevent it from working properly. The best water softeners for well water will work well for iron removal but we would recommend an iron filter to treat well water before it passes through the softener system. A water softener will work much better and longer if there is iron treatment before it in the treatment system.
Most water softeners on the market are ion exchange systems. In these systems, hardness ions (calcium and magnesium) are exchanged for salt (sodium or potassium) ions. The exchange takes place within the resin tank of the water softener. When well water flows through the tank it comes in contact with small resin beads that are covered with salt ions. As well water flows through the resin beads, hardness ions trade places with salt ions, hence the higher salt content in softened water.
As larger volumes of water are softened, the beads become exhausted and contain nothing but hardness ions. The beads are recharged by adding bags of salt to the brine tank. Recharging works the same as softening but in reverse. The hardness ions swap places with the salt ions in the brine tank and excess minerals are rinsed into the wastewater drain.
Brine Tank: The brine tank is just what its name suggests, a plastic tank that contains a brine, water saturated with salt. The brine solution is typically made with salt or sodium. However problems may result if you are on a restricted low sodium diet in that some of the sodium is transmitted into the drinking water. Potassium is considered superior and environmentally friendly, albeit a bit more expensive, than salt and does not affect your health, watersheds or the environment or your septic system.
Control Valve: The control valve is the traffic cop in your water softener system. It determines when it is time to clean those plastic beads which are now coated with calcium and magnesium. Some of the best water softeners for well water, such as the ABCwaters Fleck 5600sxt 48,000 Water Softener, have the ability to tell you when to add more salt and monitor water usage and anticipate future demand so you don't run out of soft water.
How Does A Water Softener Remove Iron?
An iron removal pre-filter, known as a sediment filter, cannot remove dissolved ferrous iron in well water. Dissolved ferrous iron is most commonly removed with a water softener.
Manufacturers report that some units are capable of removing up to 10 mg/L, however 2 to 5 mg/L is a more common limit. One of the best water softeners for well water on the market, the Iron Pro 2 Combination Water Softener, is capable of removing about 8 PPM (1 ppm = 1 mg/L), which is the highest number in the industry.
A water softener is actually designed to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. Iron will plug the softener, and must be periodically removed from the softener resin by backwashing. In the case where neither ion exchange nor iron filters are applicable of removing all iron in well water, a whole-house water filter system may be used in combination with great effectiveness. Or simply add a carbon filter can greatly reduce the amount of iron in well water.
The ABCwaters Triple Combo Whole House Fleck 5600sxt 48,000 Grain Water Softener System is the best water softener for well water available. This is a complete whole house water softener system that offers an efficient and cost-effective way to treat very hard water like well water. Most customers are satisfied with it and you'll see many positive reviews on Amazon.
This triple combo package includes a whole house water softener system (ABCwaters built Fleck 5600sxt 48,000 Water Softener), an upflow carbon tank and a 5 stage reverse osmosis drinking water system. The reverse osmosis system will provide purified water that safe to drink. If your family gets drinking water from well, this is a perfect choice.
The upflow carbon tank provides efficient filtration without the need to backwash. No backwash means no electricity required, no drain line needed, and no wastewater produced. Greener water filtration and cleaner, safer water is a breeze with our carbon tank filter system. Carbon media is a natural media derived from coconut shells that removes a wide range of contaminants including chlorine and chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, organics, MTBE, and THM. It also removes most other chemicals, tastes and odors, and is an excellent system for general filtration.
One of the key features of the Fleck 5600sxt is its digital control valve. Fleck 5600SXT digital control valve provides a top-of-the-line experience with more efficiency and control than mechanical heads. LCD display shows important information and makes user interaction simple. Easy to use interface simplifies programming and makes setting up a breeze! Adjustable cycles allow complete control over the system, allowing you to fine tune each setting to get the most out of your system. Internal Backup maintains the correct time and prevents loss of settings in the event of a power outage. Metered "On-Demand" regeneration reduces water and salt consumption. It also ensures you are never without treated water!
Overall, the ABCwaters Triple Combo Whole House Fleck 5600sxt 48,000 Grain Water Softener System is a perfect choice if you're looking for the best water softener for well water. We've found that this complete softener system is much cheaper compared to other systems of the same quality. You can't go wrong with it.
The Aquasana Rhino 500,000 Gallon Whole House Well Water Filter with Salt-Free Softener is one of the best whole house filtration systems on the market. But we've found that this system can remove effectively a variety of unwanted minerals, bacteria and algae, and iron from well water. The prefilter cartridge takes away rust and silt particles from well water before it goes into the water softener. The UV filter protects against bacteria and viruses that could be present in well water. The salt-free softener then runs the water through a catalytic media that transforms the calcium and magnesium into inert crystals. We believe this complete filter system offers one of the best water softeners for well water.
The feature that makes Aquasana Rhino one of the best water softeners for well water is its unique dual tank design, which increases well water contact time with contaminant grabbing media and prevents clogging or media channeling. The design has been tested and proven to remove 97% of chlorine for 500,000 gallons or 5 years. The softener uses KDF-85 to change soluble ferrous cations (positively-charged ions) into insoluble ferric hydroxide, which is then filtered out. With enough oxygen dissolved in the water, iron removal rates of 98% or better are common. It also contains high capacity Catalytic Carbon (CGAC) for oxidizing hydrogen sulfide. This will remove high levels of sulfur from well water.
Fleck has been in the business for over 150 years, so it is no surprise when someone purchases product from them and are very satisfied as a result. They have great customer support that can be contacted by email, an online form, and even though the phone. The Fleck Iron Pro 2 Combination Water Softener is one of the best water softeners for well water that Fleck offers to the market. It's not only designed to remove all kind of minerals that cause the well water to be hard, it's also very efficient in removing iron and manganese.
The smallest version of this water softener can handle 32,000 grains and removes iron up to 2-4 ppm range (1 ppm = 1 mg/L), hardness up to 50 GPG, and takes care of sediment, sand, rust and manganese. The largest can handle 80,000 grain and removes iron up to 8 ppm, with a hardness capacity of 85 gpg. With five different sizes available, you can easily find the best water softener for your well water usage needs.
