Residents of Liala community in the Moro local government area in Kwara State have lamented that the only source of water they have is called “Omi Ile” translated to “ground water.”
The water is not flowing and it is coloured, the same which the community dwellers use basins to fetch and put alum for the particles to settle down before they drink and use for other domestic purposes.
SaharaReporters also learnt that apart from the residents drinking from the water, cattle, dogs and other animals drink from it.
These were also confirmed in a video seen by SaharaReporters on Wednesday.
An anti-corruption civil society organization, Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), went with a resident of the community to see the water.
The woman told ENetSuD that, "It is the only source of water in the community."
"We use to put alum in the water for the particles to settle. This is the only water that cattle, dogs and others also drink from," the woman added.

Selecting the Right Outdoor Paint
Choosing the right outdoor paint for your home is crucial in ensuring durability and an appealing finish. Paints are designed for different surfaces and climates, and finding the appropriate match can be complex.
When planning your outdoor paint project, consider the climate and weather conditions in your area. For regions with high humidity, opt for mildew-resistant formulas, while in hotter climates, UV-resistant paints are a must.
Preparing Your Exterior Surfaces
Preparation is key when it comes to achieving a long-lasting paint finish. Begin by thoroughly cleaning your surface, removing any traces of dirt, dust, and peeling paint. Pressure washing is a reliable method for cleaning extensive areas but always ensure the surface dries properly before applying paint.
Sanding the surface can help provide a smooth canvas, ensuring better paint adhesion. Don’t forget to patch up any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sealant. Priming the surface is essential for creating an optimal base, especially if you are painting over a darker color.
Painting Techniques for a Professional Finish
Once your surface is prepped, it’s time to begin painting. Using a high-quality brush or roller will make a significant difference in the finish achieved. For a smoother look, work with the grain of the surface, and apply paint in thin, even layers.
For expert guidance and execution of your exterior painting needs, consulting professionals such as those who prioritize both quality and customer satisfaction can be beneficial. For more insights into effective painting techniques and to see how professionals approach such tasks, quality services provided by top-tier Sage Painting experts can be invaluable.
Common Challenges and Solutions
Many homeowners encounter issues like peeling and blistering after a paint job. These problems typically arise due to inadequate preparation or using the wrong type of paint for your surface.
To avoid these pitfalls, ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and primed. If you’re uncertain about the best products for your project, consulting with paint specialists can steer you in the direction of the most suitable materials for your climate and home structure.

"Ansys Granta Selector™ has given us more knowledge about the environmental impact of our products and where we should focus our attention in the development of new ones. Ansys Granta Selector also helped us to verify whether it is sustainable for us to gather used filters from customers to optimize the recycling process."
— Alexander Hjertström, CEO & Founder / Airinum
In identifying suitable textiles for masks, Airinum ensured designs that made sure everyone could breathe comfortably. They depend on partners to suggest textiles that are suitable for mask production. While these partners are experts in different fields like filtering technology, fashioning materials and providing great advice, they are also very focused on their own their fields. Airinum needed to find an additional, more scientific source of data about relevant materials and their properties to optimize their masks’ performance and minimize their impact on the environment.
Airinum needed to identify textile materials that are suitable for masks while also minimizing their environmental impact. Masks place a lot of demands on the materials from which they are made because they are worn in such a sensitive place — the face. The material needs to look good, be comfortable to wear, have a low resistance to air flow and be stain-resistant. The filter material needs to provide proper filtering efficiency and Airinum required that the product development process be sustainable.

WA Water Minister Mia Davies has released Water Forever: South West Final Report, the Water Corporation’s long-term outlook on town scheme water supplies in the South-West.
The report was developed with significant input from councils, industry, government agencies and communities throughout the South-West over the past 18 months, and the Minister thanked everyone who was involved in the development of the report.
“The Water Corporation predicts that over the next 50 years, the demand for water from its customers in the South-West will more than double from 12 billion litres per year, to nearly 30 billion litres per year,” Ms Davies said.
“Rainfall over the past four decades in the South-West has also reduced, and in some parts quite significantly, meaning good planning is vital to secure water supplies for the future.
“The Water Corporation’s Water Forever South West document outlines plans to develop new water sources, reduce water use and increase water recycling to achieve water security in the face of a drying climate.”
The Minister said the report was part of the State Government’s long term planning for water security across the whole of the South-West.
The Department of Water regulates water use, conducts scientific assessments, identifies future water demand across the State and provides advice to Government on water services.
The department has partnered with the three South-West water service providers (Water Corporation, Aqwest and Busselton Water) to plan for the scheme water needs of their customers that align with the State’s growth projections and efficiency targets.
“This is summarised in the snapshot document Securing Water Resources for the South West – which outlines the department’s extensive program of scientific assessment of the region’s water resources currently under way,” Ms Davies said.
“This work will guide water service providers and private water users on the best locations to take water from, and the volumes of groundwater that can safely be extracted to meet future water needs.”

Today's post is a review of some of the most fabulous straps from the Watch Strap Company (WsC) which were kindly gifted to me. This year I decided to treat myself to the new Apple Watch Series 7, I had never had an apple watch and wanted an upgrade from my FitBit. Being an Apple lover, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I'm so glad I made the switch. I soon learned how easy it was to switch up the straps, which is perfect if you're using your watch for different purposes like sports or wanting to dress up for the evening (and still get those steps in!). With so many different watch straps these days it can be hard to know which one to get. Whether buying directly from Apple themselves, or from the hundreds of brands offering accessories for Apple products, it can be a minefield trying to navigate your way through.
WsC is a UK company that offers a whole range of straps suitable for your Apple watch that range from various styles, materials, and functionalities with ranges for both men and woman.

This blog post originated from Knowles Precision Devices, explores the basics of lumped element filter design, general lumped element filter characteristics, and how lumped element filter designs limits can be customized to develop a wide variety of high-performance low-frequency filtering options.
The Basics of Lumped Element L-C Filter Construction
In general, lumped element filters are passive filters constructed using the appropriate number of inductors (Ls), capacitors (Cs), and resistors (Rs) to meet the specific filtering needs of a particular application.
At the most basic level, lumped element filters can be constructed from a collection of simple L-C resonators as shown in Figure 1.
The resonators used in the filter will create poles and zeros in the frequency response. A zero occurs when the function tends to zero, and a pole occurs when the roots that make the function tend towards its maximum function.
By understanding how poles and zeros function (which you can learn more about in this post), we can construct resonators using Ls and Cs and place the poles and zeros where we need them to be to tightly control the frequency response.
Lumped Element Filter Characteristics
Lumped element filters offer small size at low frequencies that are not achievable with common ceramic, cavity, or waveguide implementations. Additionally, lumped element filter designs are highly customizable both in terms of electrical performance and mechanical and thermal characteristics.
This is because we have a high level of control in terms of component and material choices as well as assembly techniques. For example, a lumped element filter can be constructed with withstand temperature and input power ranges that may not be possible with alternative resonator technologies.
What Filter Types Can Be Built Using a Lumped Element Construction?
All the usual filter types can be implemented in in a lumped element format including lowpass, high pass, bandpass, and band reject. As discussed in more detail in Basic Filter Circuits Explained article, lowpass and high pass elements are relatively simple to develop and bypass filters can be pretty easily constructed by combining the two behaviors.
Lumped Element Filters Capabilities
Lumped element filter frequency and bandwidth range available by Knowles Precision Devices are shown in Figure 2 below.
Lumped element filters can be customized to operate reliably in high-power, high-temperature, and harsh environmental conditions. More specifically, lumped element filters can be designed with the following specifications:
Bandpass filters with narrow to moderate bandwidths (1 percent FBW to 70 percent FBW) and a Center Frequency (Fo) from 10 MHz to 7 GHz
Bandpass filters with an extra wide bandpass bandwidth (70 percent FBW to 175 percent FBW) and a Fo of 20 MHz to 11 GHz
Lowpass filters from 10 MHz to 22 GHz
Highpass filters from 10 MHz to 10 GHz
Bandreject filters from 20 MHz to 6 GHz that can be narrow band or wide band from 10 MHz to 6 GHz

Poorly designed roofs risks being vulnerable to weather, and allowing leaks which can damage your possessions and cause all sorts of structural nightmares. How your roof looks is also very important – the roof is a very big part of any house, and certain styles will flatter some building types, while others will look completely wrong.
From concrete roofing tiles to corrugated steel roofing and terracotta roof tiles, it’s best to find out what the practical differences are between the different roofing materials.

Dilation and Irrigation at the CARE Clinic
Dilation and irrigation of the tear ducts are essential procedures for treating obstructions in the tear drainage system, which are often responsible for conditions like epiphora (excessive tearing) and recurrent eye infections. At the CARE Clinic, we use advanced techniques to ensure the effectiveness and safety of these treatments, thus improving the eye comfort of our patients.
How Does Dilation and Irrigation Work?
The expansion and irrigation process includes several crucial steps:
- Puncta dilation: An eye care professional uses a dilator to widen the punctae openings (small openings in the corners of the eyelids).
- Probing (Survey): A fine instrument is inserted into the tear drainage system to identify and remove obstructions.
- Irrigation: Sterile saline is injected through the tear ducts to ensure that the system is clear and functional.
This procedure unblocks obstructed tear ducts, improving the flow of tears and reducing symptoms of irritation and infection.
Indications for Dilation and Irrigation
Expansion and irrigation are recommended in several situations:
- Canalicular Obstruction: Lacrimal duct obstructions can cause excessive tearing and infections.
- Tear Plug Removal: Tear plugs that are inserted to treat dry eyes may sometimes require removal.
- Canaliculitis: Inflammation of the lacrimal canals that require careful irrigation to eliminate pathogens.
- Non-invasive: The procedure is generally well tolerated and minimally invasive.
- Fast relief: Patients often experience immediate relief from their symptoms after the procedure.
- Efficiency: The combination of dilation, probing and irrigation ensures effective removal of obstructions and improves tear drainage.
Post-Procedure Follow-up and Care
After the procedure, it is important to follow the care instructions:
- Use of Antibiotic Drops: To prevent post-procedure infection.
- Regular follow-up: Follow-up visits may be required to monitor progress and ensure channels remain clear.

When it comes to home renovation shows, Flip or Flop has become a staple in the industry. The show, which follows the journey of house flippers Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack, has had its fair share of ups and downs. Over the years, there have been some truly dramatic makeovers that have left viewers in awe. In this article, we will take a look at some of the most memorable flip or flop makeovers of all time.
1. The Abandoned Mansion
One of the most dramatic episodes of Flip or Flop featured an abandoned mansion that was in a state of complete disrepair. The walls were crumbling, the floors were caving in, and the whole place seemed beyond saving. However, Tarek and Christina saw the potential and transformed the mansion into a luxurious dream home. The end result was nothing short of breathtaking.
2. From Dated to Modern
In another episode, Tarek and Christina tackled a house that was stuck in the 1970s. The outdated design and old-fashioned fixtures made it a challenging project. However, they were able to give the house a modern makeover by incorporating sleek finishes, open-concept layouts, and contemporary design elements. The transformation was truly remarkable.
3. The Fire-Damaged House
One of the most heartbreaking episodes of Flip or Flop involved a house that had been severely damaged by a fire. The entire structure was charred, and it seemed impossible to salvage anything. However, Tarek and Christina worked tirelessly to restore the house to its former glory. The end result was not only a beautiful home but also a symbol of resilience and hope.
4. The Small Space Challenge
Renovating a small space can be a real challenge, but Tarek and Christina proved that it can be done. In one episode, they took on a tiny bungalow that was in desperate need of some love. By utilizing clever storage solutions, maximizing natural light, and incorporating smart design choices, they were able to transform the small space into a cozy and functional home.
5. The Neglected Backyard
While most of the makeovers on Flip or Flop focus on the interior of the house, there have been some episodes that highlight the importance of outdoor spaces. In one particularly memorable episode, Tarek and Christina transformed a neglected backyard into a stunning oasis. They added a deck, a pool, and beautiful landscaping, turning the outdoor area into a perfect place for relaxation and entertainment.
6. The Historic Home
Renovating a historic home comes with its own set of challenges, but Tarek and Christina were up for the task. In one episode, they took on a century-old house that was in dire need of repair. They worked closely with preservation experts to restore the home to its original grandeur while also incorporating modern amenities. The result was a seamless blend of old and new.
7. The Waterfront Property
One of the most stunning flip or flop makeovers involved a waterfront property that was in a state of disrepair. Tarek and Christina capitalized on the home’s stunning views by incorporating large windows and open spaces. They also added a dock and a deck, allowing the homeowners to fully enjoy the beauty of their surroundings.
8. The Family-Friendly Renovation
In an episode that tugged at viewers’ heartstrings, Tarek and Christina tackled a house that needed to be made safe and functional for a family with young children. They focused on creating open spaces, removing any potential hazards, and adding child-friendly features. The end result was a home that was not only beautiful but also perfect for the family’s needs.
9. The Ultimate Fixer-Upper
Perhaps one of the most challenging makeovers on Flip or Flop was a house that seemed beyond repair. The entire structure was dilapidated, and it seemed like a lost cause. However, Tarek and Christina took on the ultimate fixer-upper and turned it into a stunning home. The transformation was nothing short of miraculous.
Over the years, Flip or Flop has provided viewers with some of the most dramatic makeovers in the world of home renovation shows. From abandoned mansions to fire-damaged houses, Tarek and Christina have proven time and time again that with determination and creativity, any house can be transformed into a beautiful home.

As you gear up for spring planting in the verdant and lush UK gardens, the thought of introducing asparagus to your vegetable bed might have crossed your mind. Well, you aren’t alone. Asparagus is gaining popularity as a homegrown vegetable due to its hardiness, perennial nature and delectable taste. However, growing asparagus, particularly from crowns, demands keen attention to several factors, one of them being the depth of planting. The soil type, sandy in this case, adds another layer of complexity to the equation. This article, aimed at the home gardener, will demystify the ideal depth for planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil.
Understanding Asparagus Planting
To plant asparagus successfully, it’s essential, to begin with, a comprehension of this unique plant. Unlike most garden vegetables that are annuals, asparagus is a perennial plant. This means that once established, an asparagus bed can continue to produce for up to 20 years. The asparagus plant’s longevity implies that the initial setup, particularly the planting depth, is crucial to the plant’s success.

Asparagus can be planted in two ways: from seeds or crowns. Planting from seeds is a more extended process as it may take up to 3 years to harvest the first spears. On the other hand, crowns, which are one-year-old asparagus plants with established root systems, can accelerate the process, allowing you to harvest a year earlier.
The Role of Soil in Asparagus Planting
Soil plays an integral part in asparagus planting. Asparagus plants thrive in well-draining soil, making sandy soil an ideal choice. The texture of sandy soil is beneficial because it allows for good root penetration and prevents water logging, which can cause the crowns to rot.
However, sandy soil in the UK tends to be more acidic. Asparagus prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH, around 6.5 to 7.5. Before planting your asparagus crowns, it is advisable to test your soil’s pH level. If it is too acidic, adding some garden lime can help neutralize it.
Soil fertility is also essential for asparagus. While the plant is not overly demanding in terms of fertility, it will grow better in rich, well-amended soil. Prior to planting, enrich your sandy soil with plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to boost fertility.
The Importance of Planting Depth
Planting depth is a critical factor when planting asparagus crowns. It can significantly affect the plant’s productivity and lifespan. If planted too shallowly, the crowns will be exposed to drying out, and the emerging spears may not develop properly. If planted too deeply, the crowns may struggle to push the spears through the soil surface, especially in heavy soils.
In sandy soil, however, the lighter texture makes it easier for the spears to penetrate the surface, allowing for a slightly deeper planting depth. This is beneficial as the deeper crowns are less likely to be disturbed by surface activities, including weeding and topping up mulch.
Ideal Depth for Planting Asparagus Crowns in Sandy UK Soil
When planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil, the recommended planting depth is between 8 to 10 inches. To achieve this, dig a trench of the required depth and about 12 inches wide. Spread the asparagus crowns along the bottom of the trench, spacing them about 18 inches apart. Backfill the trench with soil, covering the crowns by about 2 inches to start.
As the asparagus plants start to grow, continue backfilling the trench with soil until it is level with the garden surface. This gradual filling process encourages strong spear growth and helps the plants establish more effectively.
Do note that while this is the generally recommended planting depth for asparagus crowns in sandy soil, it may vary slightly depending on the specific conditions of your garden. Factors such as the exact soil texture and fertility, as well as the local climate, can influence the best planting depth. Thus, it is beneficial to observe the growth of your asparagus plants and adjust your practices as necessary.
Additional Considerations for Growing Asparagus in Sandy Soil
The journey to growing asparagus in sandy UK soil doesn’t stop at knowing the ideal depth for planting asparagus crowns. There are further factors worth considering to ensure that your asparagus plants thrive.
One key consideration is the location of your asparagus bed. Asparagus plants prefer a full sun spot, so try to locate your asparagus bed in a well-lit area of your garden. This will ensure the plants receive the necessary sunlight for optimal growth.
Another important consideration is the soil’s nutritive balance. Asparagus plants are heavy feeders, and they need a well-balanced supply of nutrients to grow successfully. Prior to planting, consider conducting a soil test to determine the levels of major nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in your soil. If deficiencies are detected, correct them with well-rotted manure or a balanced organic fertilizer.
Asparagus plants also attract certain pests and diseases, most notably asparagus beetles and Fusarium wilt. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of these problems. If detected early, they can be managed effectively with organic or chemical control methods.
Additionally, while asparagus is a perennial plant, it still requires some annual maintenance. In early spring, before the new spears emerge, it’s beneficial to add a layer of compost or well-rotted manure to the asparagus bed. This will replenish the soil’s nutrients and help promote vigorous spear growth.
Conclusion: Harvesting and Enjoying Your Homegrown Asparagus
After coming to grips with the nitty-gritty of planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil, you’ll find yourself one step closer to the rewarding experience of harvesting your homegrown asparagus.
Harvesting asparagus typically begins in the third year after planting, when the plants have had sufficient time to establish. Harvest asparagus spears when they are 6 to 8 inches tall, cutting them at or just below the soil surface. Refrain from harvesting all the spears; allowing some to develop into ferny growth will aid the plant in storing energy for the next year’s crop.
Growing asparagus in your garden not only provides you with a delicious and nutritious vegetable, but it also offers an opportunity to engage with nature in a rewarding and fulfilling way. So, prepare your garden, plant asparagus crowns at the right depth, and anticipate the joy of watching your asparagus spears shoot through the soil in the full sun a year from now. With patience and proper care, you’ll be enjoying your homegrown asparagus in no time!

Cost-competitiveness of solar energy in Asia
Technological advances and lower costs of capital have propelled renewables into the mainstream energy market. The boom of green investments in Asia is visible, and the continent aims to dominate the global renewable energy stage in terms of new capacity addition, technology development, and energy demand.
Based on solar PV’s competitive costs, it could become the “new king” of world electricity markets, driving the rapid growth of renewable power over the next decade.
Renewable 2020 Global Status Report, from REN21, indicated that one of the main reasons for reducing solar costs was a ramp-up in manufacturing in recent years due to optimistic expectations about global demand growth (particularly in China). It held down prices for polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules.
Innovations and improvements in design and operation as the Boom of Green Investments in Asia is visible, and the continent aims to dominate the global renewable energy stage in terms of new capacity addition, technology development, and energy demand.o helped to reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. Today, solar projects offer some of the cheapest costs of electricity ever seen.
The figure below shows that renewable electricity costs are higher than electricity prices, on average, in only two of the ten regions (the Middle East and North Africa region and the Rest of Europe). In all other regions, renewable costs are at least 20% lower than current electricity prices. This shows the potential for renewables to reduce the prices of electricity.

Jobs in demand in the solar industry
There are about 11.5 million renewable energy workers today, and solar power projects accounted for 3.8 million of them, nearly one-third of the total number. Currently, the world's leading producer of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment as well as the most extensive installation market, China accounted for 2.2 million jobs in 2019.
Globally, jobs in renewable sources will reach 42 million in 2050. The largest creator of these jobs will be Asia, opening vacancies in manufacturing, installation, operations and maintenance. The solar sector will account for half of all renewables jobs on this continent.
East Asia will provide 36% of new renewable energy jobs created. To a large extent, investment in installations accounts for this result, driven by ambitious targets for the electricity sector. The rest of Asia will create 28% of jobs.

What are the skills needed?
A frequent question in the renewable sector is about the skills needed to fill clean energy jobs. It is important to note that most of the abilities and disciplines could be transferable from other sectors of the industry.
Many of the employees formerly working in oil and gas now distribute, construct and maintain solar panels. There are plenty of opportunities for professionals who want to switch to clean energy.
However, switching the workforce from fossil fuel extraction and burning to renewables requires training and a new mindset.
Segment value chain:
- Construction & installation
- Operations and Maintenance
- Workers and technicians
- Construction management
- Project Management
- Project Development
- EPC management
Airswift is already working with key companies and several developers, contractors, and consultancies to hire employees and contractors with these skill sets.

Regional strategies to improve renewable energy
Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world in terms of electricity demand, rising by more than 6% annually over the past 20 years on average. But the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is reducing electricity demand.
According to the Electricity Market Report, from the IEA (Southeast Asia), the region is also one of the few in the world where a coal-fired generation has been expanding. Close to 20GW of new coal-fired generating capacity are in construction, mostly in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
To revive the pandemic-hit economy and reduce carbon emissions, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) governments have laid out a five-year sustainability plan under the second phase of ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2021-2025.
In this ambitious project, ASEAN energy ministers agreed to set a target of 23% share of renewable energy in total primary energy supply in the region.
Studies in the region
One of the ways of reaching the new target is regional interconnection and trade. ASEAN has a project to develop multilateral power trade, which was supported by the 2019 IEA study Establishing Multilateral Power Trade in ASEAN. The study recommended clear actions to establish cross-border power trade in the region.
The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia power integration project is one example of regional cross-border power trade. The project has enabled 100MW of power transfer from Lao PDR via Thailand to Malaysia. Work is already underway to extend the framework to include Singapore.
Renewable energy capacity in the Southeast Asian countries
Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia represent a share of 84% of the total installed renewable energy capacity among the Southeast Asian countries.
Vietnam leads the sustainability change with a 34% share, followed by Thailand (17%), Indonesia (13%), Malaysia (10%) and the Philippines (10%).

key solar projects in Asia
Many Japanese cities are using distributed energy and microgrids to restructure their energy infrastructure. Over five years, 10 projects with a total value of $3bn will produce energy in the region.
Ukujima Mega Solar Park
On an island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Ukujima, Japan, this solar park has a power capacity of 400MW (AC). The project will cover roughly 25% of the island.
The power plant will be connected via high voltage submarine cable to the electricity grid at Ainoura S/S which is approximately 65 km away.
The construction commenced in 2019 and is expected to be completed by 2023. According to the Photovolt Development Partners, which is developing the project, it will be the largest photovoltaic power plant in Japan.
Amateras Shiroishi Solar Farm
Construction of a 162MW solar PV plant at Miyagi prefecture of Japan. The solar farm will generate up to 175,000MWh of clean renewable energy per year, enough electricity to meet the demand of nearly 35,000 Japanese homes.
At the peak of its construction, Amateras Shiroishi Solar Project is expected to create over 200 jobs. Operated by Vena Energy, the project will start this year.
Onikoube Solar Power Plant
Development of a photovoltaic solar project with a total capacity of 133MW.
Operated by Thai Solar Energy Company LTDA and Sino-Thai Engineering & Construction, the solar plant will be located on 332.8 hectares of land in Onikoube, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.
The plant is scheduled to go into operation by December 2022.
Indonesia is expected to become the fourth-largest economy in the world by 2040. Coal dominates the Indonesian power mix, supplying around 60% of its electricity in 2019.
But current government policy aims to increase the role of renewables in the power mix, growing their share of primary energy supply from 9.15% in 2019 to 23% in 2025 and 31% in 2050.
There are 18 solar projects slated for the next five years in the region with a total value of $2bn.
Cirata Floating Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant
Development of a 145MW floating photovoltaic solar power project will be built on 225 hectares of surface area on the Cirata Reservoir in West Java province, Indonesia. It will be carried out in two phases.
The first phase will have a capacity of 50MW and the second phase will have a capacity of 95MW. Once completed, the project will be the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia and one of the largest in the world.
The project will install 700,000 floats to the bottom of the 6,000-hectare reservoir, which already provides power for a 1GW hydroelectric plant. The project will also include an onshore high-voltage substation.
The Cirata Floating PV Power Plant will produce energy enough to power 50,000 homes and will contribute to the creation of up to 800 jobs. Developed by Masdar, the project is slated to start at the end of 2022.
Clean energy in Thailand has been increasing in recent years, from around 12% in 2017 to almost 20% in 2019, consisting of hydropower, biomass, wind and solar PV. The electricity generation has continued to grow by about 2% annually over the past few years.
The latest Power Development Plan aims to provide a transition roadmap for the power sector with three key principles: energy security, economic sustainability and environmental sustainability.
The renewable energy target for electricity (excluding imported hydro) is set at 29% of total generation by 2037, with an additional 6% energy efficiency target.
Thai Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project
Thailand intends to build 16 solar farms with a combined capacity of more than 2.7GW in nine of its hydroelectric dam reservoirs. Combined, the Thailand projects will more than triple the global floating solar capacity which is currently around 1.3GW.
All projects will be built by the governmental utility Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). Thailand aims to develop its capacity for floating PV installations, particularly on dams.
The first two projects, located in the Northeast, including 45MW of contracted capacity at Sirindhorn Dam, and a 24MW project at UbolRatana Dam.
The Thai government is also working on tests for lithium-ion battery energy storage with two big projects standing at 22MWh and 16MWh capacity.
That represents a major change in the energy mix, which currently depends on coal. The country’s electricity generation capacity is projected to surge to 185.3 gigawatts by 2034, from 120.5 gigawatts this year.
There are three solar projects slated for the next five years in South Korea with a total value of $4bn.
Saemangeum Floating Solar Farm
Construction on the facility is planned to start by the third quarter of 2021, to kickstart operations in 2023.
The government estimates that approximately 4.6 trillion won ($3.9 billion) of private funds will be invested in the project.
To support economic recovery in post-Covid-19, Myanmar aims to generate 14% of the country’s electricity needs through renewable energy.
Last year, the country awarded 30 solar projects to companies mostly from China. The projects could generate a total of 1000MW of energy.
There are nine solar projects slated for the next five years in Myanmar with a total value of $3bn. Sagaing, Mandalay, and Magway are the regions investing the most in solar power projects.
Myanmar 1GW Solar Power Projects
A project to develop several solar plants throughout Myanmar, with a combined capacity of 1GW, under the tender issued by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE). The start-up of the solar power projects is expected this year.
Minbu Solar project
This project is the first solar plant in Myanmar as well as the largest single-scale ground solar plant in Southeast Asia. The project will be located in an 850-hectare land plot in Minbu city in the Magway region.
The 220MW solar power plant will be developed in four phases. The first three phases will have an installed capacity of 50MW each, while the last phase will be 70MW.
Electricity generated from the plants will be sold to the Myanmar government under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 30 years. The start-up is predicted to 2022.
The National Renewable Energy Plan (NREP) 2020–2040 targets to have at least 34GW of renewable energy installations by 2040 in the country.
To achieve this goal the Philippine government plans to open renewable energy for 100% foreign ownership, attracting investment in the country's renewable energy infrastructure.
Seven solar projects are slated for the next five years in the region with a total value of $560m.
Pasuquin Solar Farm
Development of a 100MW solar power plant. Initially, the project would be located in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte. But it was relocated to Tanap village, Burgos and it will be expanded to neighbouring Bangui.

Take advantage of our Buy 1 Get 1 Free CBD Offers on all CBD Vape Products including CBD Vape Juice, disposables and pens. CBD Vape Oil is great for relaxing and promoting sleep.
Are you looking to tap into the benefits of CBD products but don't know where to start? Have you considered taking advantage of various CBD offers but aren't sure if it is worth it? If so, then this blog post is for you. This article will discuss why taking advantage of CBD offers can be beneficial and why trying out these deals now could prove advantageous in the long run.
CBD offers have become increasingly popular over the past few years. CBD stands for cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant. It has been used in various products, such as oils and edibles, to provide natural relief from inflammation, anxiety and depression. CBD does not contain any THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), meaning it will not produce a "high" or intoxicating effect associated with marijuana use. If you're looking to use CBD, taking advantage of these offers can be a great way to get started.
What are CBD Offers?
CBD offers come in many forms, but the most common ones include discounts on purchases of items that contain CBD oil or other hemp-based products, samplings of new products, discounts on online store orders, referral rewards, special promotions or sales at dispensaries, or access to exclusive educational material about how to incorporate medical marijuana into your lifestyle safely and responsibly.
These offers can be incredibly helpful if you want to try something new without spending too much money upfront, especially if you don't know much about the product before investing. They may also help you save time by providing more information about different types of medicinal marijuana quickly and easily, allowing you to make informed decisions about what works best for your body type and budget.
Benefits of CBD Offers
The first reason why taking advantage of CBD offers should not be overlooked is that they often come with special discounts or free items. These discounts can range from a percentage off your entire order to bonuses such as free shipping or an extra product on top of what was purchased. According to Frederiks, Stenner & Hobman (2015), any discount helps relieve some financial burden and makes purchasing quality CBD products more accessible and affordable than ever.
Another great benefit many companies offer when taking advantage of their CBD deals is samples or trial sizes. Sharma (2017) stated that sampling different products without committing to an entire purchase allows users to find which type works best for them without breaking the bank. Trying out new types may also open up new realms in aromas, flavors, and effects
Thirdly, special packages are often available through promotional deals, including multiple items grouped together at discounted price points (Deepak & Jeyakumar, 2019). This provides a fantastic opportunity for those who already know what they like and want multiple options while saving money all at once too! For example, one could purchase two bottles of tinctures totaling 300mgs instead of only buying 150mgs from one company; essentially getting twice as much bang for your buck with no additional cost beyond what was originally intended on spending anyways. That's major savings right there.
Fourthly, most reputable companies offering special promotions or offers have great customer service that ranges between educational resources describing dosage rates and general information about how different compounds interact with each product. This makes understanding easier than ever before while also assuring that any questions regarding usage can easily be answered promptly by knowledgeable staff members who are always eager to help out customers in any way possible.
These promotional offerings allow individuals to access premium-grade CBD products that would otherwise cost significantly more elsewhere. By seeking great bargains online through trusted sources, consumers get access to higher craftsmanship.
Ways of Taking Advantage of CBD Offers
But how do you take advantage of them? We'll go over five ways here so that you can find one that works best for your needs.
Buy in Bulk
According to Gunders & Bloom (2017), buying in bulk will always save you money; the same applies to CBD products. Look for promotions or special discounts offered when buying multiple items together, as this could mean savings for you in the long run. You may also find that stores offer free shipping or other perks when ordering higher quantities.
Be Open Minded about Brands
You don't have to stick with just one brand of CBD if it's too expensive; various choices from different companies offer various prices. Shopping around can help ensure you get what's best for your budget without compromising quality.
Search Online Deals
With more people shopping online daily, many deals, including Black Friday sales and special promotions, pop up on various sites throughout the week. Checking regularly will allow you to maximize cost-savings while still ensuring that what you purchase
Check Retail Locations
Some brands like Plant People offer retail locations where they provide discounted prices on their products directly from store shelves, along with complimentary samples and educational material about their offerings.
Subscribe and Save
Many companies now offer subscription programs allowing customers to sign up and receive monthly shipments of their favourite products at reduced rates compared to regular monthly prices!? This is an excellent option if someone plans on consistently using one specific type or brand since it guarantees service plus additional discounts during promotional times throughout the year.
In conclusion, CBD offers are a great way to get the most out of your experience. Whether you're looking for discounts on products you already use or trying something new, there is no shortage of ways to save on quality CBD. From subscription boxes and bulk purchases to coupons and free shipping, taking advantage of CBD offers can help ensure you get the maximum benefits from your purchase while also saving money.

Can You Vape CBD?
Oral drops or edibles are the two most common ways to consume CBD (cannabidiol) products. Generally vapes refer to CBD vape juice and CBD vape carts for inhalation.
Vaping ensures that CBD enters the bloodstream immediately causing the desired effects. In essence, you shorten the absorption time when you inhale CBD. Some CBD vapes are infused with standard vape liquids because you cannot vape CBD oil in its truest form; you can only consume it orally. There are tons of vaping products on the market; pods, cartridges, or disposables. You can also choose refillable vape pens because they are designed with cutting-edge technology and can produce more flavor and vapor than disposable vape pens.
Do CBD Vapes Get You High?
According to Raup et al. (2020), CBD, lacks the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabino (THC). The psychoactive THC causes the euphoric feelings and altered state of mind associated with marijuana. Note that CBD and THC are two separate compounds that have different effects on the body; while THC causes euphoric behavior, CBD does not alter the user’s state of mind. Many states legalized the sale, use, possession, and manufacture of CBD products derived from hemp as long as they contain no more than 0.3% THC. Ongoing research on the effects and benefits of CBD to the body has shown that CBD can calm the mind, thus reducing the chances of depression and anxiety.
Is CBD Vape Oil Legal?
In 2018, the United States Federal government passed the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized the production, use, purchase and possession of CBD. Initially, most countries prohibited CBD and all its forms. Purchasing, selling, and even possessing any CBD product is considered an offense and is punishable by up to 7 years in prison. However, the cannabis derivative is legalized in many countries due to its health benefits. However, the levels if THC in the plant remains regulated at 0.3%. Notably THC activates CBI receptors in the brain altering the user’s mental state.
What Does A CBD Vape Do?
A vape is a battery-powered gadget that vaporizes CBD so that it can be inhaled. CBD vapes come in various shapes and sizes, but all work the same way. Vaping is one of the most suggested ways to consume CBD, a highly sought-after supplement. Compared to other ways of consuming CBD, such as oils and edibles, CBD vapes ensure that the drug gets to your bloodstream more quickly. The vape suppresses chronic pain, stress or sporadic anxiety attacks.
Grafinger et al. (2020) stated that CBD is has limited ingredients to retain its purity; therefore, the vapes provide high-quality CBD. Most CBD vapes contain propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, contributing to the cloudy emissions released during vaping sessions. You can mix Grade A CBD oil with a flavoring ingredient for enhanced flavor and aroma. There are two types of CBD vapes; pure and flavored breeds. You can use either based on your preference. Contrary to other vaping products, pure CBD vapes don't include chemicals or nicotine.
CBD vapes are pre-measured, thus enabling the consumer to dose them accurately. All you have to do is calculate how much vape you need using simple calculations. Additionally, CBD vapes let you buy CBD oil in various strengths. If you want a relaxing effect, choose the CBD vape with the lowest dose.
Are CBD Vapes Legal In The UK?
Maed (2019) stated that CBD is legal in the UK but must meet certain standards Most CBD products sold in the streets of the UK are not from licensed firms, which puts the buyer and the retailer at risk of facing criminal charges under UK law. Therefore, ensure you buy the CBD vapes from trusted brands.
Any CBD vape and related product with THC is considered illegal. On 13TH October 2016, the UK passed a bill that legalized the sale, manufacture, possession, and use of CBD and its related products. The government has conducted tests to ascertain the standards of the CBD vapes sold to people. The European Union certified the sale of hemp products with less than 0.2% levels of THC – the psychoactive part of Cannabis.
If you want to purchase CBD vape in the UK, choose one with low levels of THC; in the UK, high levels THC are illegal and classified as a class B controlled drug.
Do CBD Vapes Work?
Vaping penetrates CBD into your system more efficiently than other methods of consumption, resulting in quicker benefits. CBD has been used in several cosmetic and health products to treat illnesses, like eczema, anxiety and acne among others. However, there isn't enough data on using CBD vapes to treat diabetes and hypertension.

As purveyors of fine teas since 1981, we share here our favorites. We hope they will become your favorites as well.Allow your taste buds to determine how to make your perfect cup of tea through some initial experimentation. We have some helpful suggestions and recommendations to guide you.
Water Quality: Because water is the primary ingredient, be sure it tastes good to you. You may wish to try bottled in lieu of tap water. Use only freshly drawn, cool, clear water.
Boiling: In a covered kettle, allow the water to reach a full, rolling boil, then pour immediately into the teapot or cups. For a milder cup, pour when bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pot. For green and white teas, remove the pot from the stove when it reaches a boil, and wait about 30 seconds before pouring on leaves.
Preheating: If you like especially hot tea, it is best to pre-heat the teapot or cups by rinsing with hot water.
How Much Tea: Add approximately one teaspoon per cup for your first experiment, and adjust your measure according to taste.
Steeping: For the richest taste, stay within the suggested steeping times, to allow just the proper amount of flavor to be released from the leaves.
Black: 3-5 minutes
Oolong: 1-10 minutes
Green: 1-2 minutes (Can be reused for 1 or 2 subsequent brewings)
White: 2-15 minutes (Can be reused for 1 or 2 subsequent brewings)
Chai: 3-9 minutes
Herbal: 5-10 minutes, according to taste
Herbals: These teas steep differently. Some require boiling over a period of time. Others may require just some hot water added for a brief period of time. Follow product instructions for specific brewing and steeping details.
Lemon or Milk: Tea may be served with lemon or milk. (Cream deadens the taste.)
Iced Tea: Use twice as many tea leaves for steeping, since the addition of ice cubes to the hot brew will dilute the taste considerably.
How Much to Buy: If stored properly, tea will last up to six months. Flavored teas last about half that time.
How to Store Tea: Use an airtight container, preferably dark. Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and from other sources of heat.

* Painting: Once the filler is repaired, apply a coat of paint to match the original color and finish. Use a high-quality paint and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.
6. Tips for Choosing the Right Filler Material
When selecting a filler material, consider the following factors:
* Durability: Choose a material that can withstand the elements and minor impacts.
* Appearance: Select a material that matches the original color and finish of your Oldsmobile.
* Compatibility: Ensure the filler material is compatible with the surrounding body panels and bumper material.
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid
When restoring Oldsmobile bumper fillers, it's essential to avoid common mistakes that can compromise the integrity of the bumper and surrounding body panels. Some common mistakes to avoid include:
* Using the wrong filler material, which can lead to poor adhesion or premature failure.
* Applying too much adhesive, which can cause the filler to lift or become dislodged.
* Not cleaning the surface properly, which can lead to poor paint adhesion or uneven finish.
Oldsmobile bumper fillers may seem like a minor component, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the overall appearance and functionality of your classic ride. By understanding the history, purpose, and restoration techniques for Oldsmobile bumper fillers, you can ensure your vehicle looks and performs its best. Remember to choose the right filler material, avoid common mistakes, and take your time when restoring these often-overlooked components.

Does Upgrading my HVAC System in NY really Save Me Money?
June 9, 2022
Maintaining your home is a lot of work; you need to make sure all of its systems are working properly to enjoy the full benefits of having them. Besides, properly maintaining these systems ensures you get to save more in the long run. One such system that is essential to every home is the HVAC system. The HVAC system also comprises a huge part of your energy bills.
One of the largest energy loads in your household is cooling or heating your home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), about 6% of the total electricity generated in the United States is used for air conditioning and heating. Now, how can you save up on energy bills if you frequently use your HVAC system? One such way is by getting a HVAC upgrade in New York.
While you might think that getting your HVAC system upgraded is expensive, in reality, it will help you save more over time. Think of it as an investment, where you get a system that helps regulate your energy consumption–so you’ll still get to use your heating and cooling equipment regularly but without the spike in energy bills. You can see this in your equipment’s SEER rating.
What Is a SEER Rating?
In order to understand energy efficiency, you need to know and understand how energy efficiency is measured. In heating and cooling equipment, this is indicated by a system’s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. This SEER is measured by comparing the cooling output of a system over a typical cooling season to the amount of energy input the system consumes over the same time frame. The higher the SEER value, the more energy-efficient the system is.
In recent times, the average SEER rating of an air conditioner is between 13 and 14, though some systems can reach as high as the low-20s for ultra-efficient models. But around 15 to 20 years ago, the average SEER rating of a system on the market was around 10. If your system is approaching two decades in age, then there’s a good chance that this was probably the original SEER rating for your system. It might be time for a change. Upgrading your HVAC system will definitely improve your equipment’s SEER rating.
Ways You Can Save Money by Upgrading Your HVAC System
Here are some ways you can save money by upgrading your HVAC system:
Review installation costs
Lower energy bills
Reduced HVAC repair costs
Huge energy rebate opportunities

A new research project shows how 3D printing and machining can finally work in sync. Led by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria (TU Wien), the project aims to plan and optimize every step of hybrid manufacturing, from 3D printing to machining, before production even begins.
A team of engineers from TU Wien’s Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies (IFT) developed smarter ways to combine additive and subtractive manufacturing (or machining) processes in a single, streamlined workflow. If done right, this hybrid manufacturing can save time, cut costs, and reduce waste, especially in factories that make large or complex parts.
3D printing and machining, which are often treated like two separate worlds, can be brought together in a way that’s actually practical for manufacturers.
From Metal Wire to Finished Part
The research focused heavily on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a technique used to 3D print large metal parts using welding wire. WAAM is ideal for creating big, heavy-duty components, but those parts still need to be milled or smoothed out afterward. That’s where things often get complicated and expensive, the experts explain.
According to the team, they found ways to predict how each 3D printed part would behave before printing even begins. Using digital simulations, they could estimate how the part would shrink, where it might warp, and how much material would need to be removed.
They also tested machine hammer peening, a technique that smooths and strengthens the surface of a printed part before it’s machined. They combined it with other treatments like shot peening, which uses small metal balls to toughen the surface, and Hirtisation, a chemical process that removes rough edges and leftover powder. The combination led to more uniform and durable parts.
IFT’s big contribution was a simulation model that helps factories plan printing and machining in advance. This includes calculating how much extra material needs to be printed to allow for finishing, where stresses or rough spots might appear, and how to machine the part more efficiently afterward. The result is less material waste, shorter machining time, and fewer surprises.
Making It Work for Small Manufacturers
While hybrid manufacturing sounds high-tech, the project was designed with small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in mind. Many of these businesses are interested in 3D printing but don’t have the resources for complicated workflows or expensive quality control setups.
The IFT team worked directly with 15 Austrian companies to test and validate real-world applications, making sure the tools they developed could actually be used in day-to-day factory settings, including approaches for the seamless integration of WAAM processes into existing production lines. The goal was always to make hybrid manufacturing more affordable, scalable, and practical.
Another part of the project focused on creating a smart software system that can adjust how machines move based on real-time sensor data. This system, described as a CAM rule engine, is linked to a central database that collects information from every step of the manufacturing process. Together, they help factories move closer to fully automated, data-driven production.
A Team Effort Across Europe
This work was part of a larger international effort called Advanced Processing of Additively Manufactured Parts – Phase II (Ad-Proc-Add II), a research project focused on improving how 3D printing and machining work together in real factory settings. The project brought together teams from Austria, Germany, and Belgium, including universities, industry groups, and research institutes. Partners like the Institute for Machine Tools at the University of Stuttgart, the Institute for Machining Technology at TU Dortmund, and KU Leuven in Belgium all contributed to making hybrid manufacturing faster, smarter, and easier to adopt.
What’s more, industry groups like the ecoplus Mechatronics Cluster and Research Association for Mechanical Engineering (FKM) in Germany helped turn the research into real tools that companies can actually use in their factories.
This project proves that 3D printing and machining can work together in a smarter, more practical way, so that 3D printing is not isolated from the rest of the factory floor. In the end, it will help connect additive and subtractive processes, making them usable for everyday manufacturers.
The findings will be presented at the World Machine Tool Exhibition (EMO) 2025 in Hanover, one of the world’s biggest trade fairs for industrial manufacturing.

Paddle Boarding Gear
Whether you are new to paddle boarding or an experienced Paddle Boarding Gear, you’ll want to invest in some paddle board gear that will make your experience safer and more enjoyable. This includes the proper board size, board length and weight capacity, as well as accessories that will help you have a safe and fun time on the water.
Paddleboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on your needs, preferences and experience level. Longer boards have more weight capacity, while shorter ones tend to be easier to carry and store.
Leash: A leash will help you stay afloat in choppy waters and prevent your paddle from flopping around if you fall off. We recommend a leash that is quick-release, so you can detach it quickly if you need to bail out of the water.
Choosing the Right Paddle Boarding Gear: A Guide for Beginners
Shoes: You should always wear footwear when on a stand-up paddleboard, especially in chilly weather. Neoprene booties are a good choice, or you can go barefoot if the weather is mild.
Clothing: Choose a breathable long-sleeve shirt that will protect your skin from harsh sun and wind. A rash guard will also help keep your body warm.
Water Bottle: Bringing a reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated and avoid buying bottled water. If you’re going to be on the water for a long time, we suggest a vacuum insulated bottle that can clip to your cargo bungees so your water stays cool and refreshed.

If you conduct an online search for custom deck builders in Connecticut, you’ll see that there are many companies on the list. However, not all custom deck builders are the same. What we’re saying is that some custom deck builders are better than others. You need to be careful which company you choose. For example, you should only consider working with custom deck builders that have years of experience in the home improvement industry. We’re not saying that all companies that have only been in a business for a short period of time are bad at their job.
However, when you work with a more experienced entity the chances are high that they’re good at what they do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in business for the long haul. The bottom line is that you want to have many years of family fun on your deck without worrying about how long it will last. Top-notch custom deck builders use the best available labor and materials for your project. It can make a tremendous difference on the durability of your deck. It can also make a tremendous difference on how your deck will ultimately appear when it’s finished.
An inexperienced deck builder may construct a solid deck but may not finish it as nicely as a more experienced deck builder would. There is a lot of finish carpentry work that goes into custom decks. Finish carpentry includes all of the fine detail work that goes into the project. It’s also not a good idea to work with custom deck builders that quote you the lowest price. It typically means that they are either desperate for work or are cutting corners. The home improvement industry as a whole is incredibly busy these days thanks to the Covid pandemic.
People are spending a lot more of their time at home and want to make the experience as nice and convenient as possible. Consumers also have more money to spend since they’re not going on vacations or taking part in expensive entertainment options that involve crowds. If a custom deck builder comes in with a low-ball price it’s because they’re not busy and need the work. That means they’re not very good at their job. Some contractors come in with lower offers because they know that they’re going to cut corners. That means they use cheap materials.
It also means they pay their workers less money. Once again, there is currently an incredibly high demand for home improvement work across the country. Workers who are good at their job and reliable are paid more than workers who are not so good at their jobs and are unreliable. Choosing a custom deck building company should never be taken lightly. Your new deck is an extension of your beautiful home. It should contain the highest quality materials and reflect upon your personal tastes and design styles.
For more information about our custom deck building services, or to schedule an initial consultation in Connecticut or Massachusetts please contact us today at 860-341-6373. DBC Solutions takes great pride in providing the highest quality custom carpentry and contracting services in the home improvement industry. Our business model has been the same for 17 years.

We study how the contracting environment affects the quality of trade. A better contracting environment not only induces specialisations in industries intensively using customised inputs, but also causes quality upgrading of domestic varieties and tougher competition in these industries. We incorporate these effects into a Ricardian model with customised input and product quality. Our model predicts that better judicial quality raises a country’s import prices and quality more in contract-intensive products, but has no impacts on its export prices or quality. We empirically confirm these predictions, and find that rising judicial quality is associated with increasing specialisations in contract-intensive industries.

Green Job Hazards
Collection is one of the most dangerous activities in the recycling industry. Tragically, workers have lost their lives due to being backed-over by trucks, or struck by on-coming vehicles as they were exiting the trucks they were driving. These fatal accidents can be prevented by taking proper precautions.
In addition to vehicle accidents, collecting recyclable material involves other hazards, such as potential lifting injuries; slips, trips and falls; and cuts and abrasions. For more detailed information about these hazards and associated protective measures, visit the links below.
Hazards and Precautions
In 2008, the fatality rate for the waste management and remediation services industry was over 5 times the fatality rate for all industries.1
- Nearly 60% of these fatalities were transportation related
A worker was collecting recyclable materials, exited the truck and walked to the rear of the vehicle. The truck rolled backwards and the rear wheel crushed the worker.
- A worker was in the bed of a container truck removing unwanted debris when a bulldozer dumped a load of debris into the bed of the truck, burying and asphyxiating the worker.

The new wave of cycling: Electric Bike tax rebates and safe riding for Modern Cyclists
By Addmotor | 20 April 2023 | 0 Comments
E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular as a dependable, environmentally friendly, and adaptable mode of transportation. The bicycle boom of 2020 witnessed an increase in the number of Americans cycling on both traditional and electric bikes. E-bikes are increasingly being used for traveling, cruising, hunting, and fishing. Adopters of ebikes may soon be compensated with a tax rebate on their eBike purchases.
The initial effort to pass a nationwide e-bike rebate was unsuccessful. But this time, the bill has more backers and a larger number of supporters.
What is the E-Bike ACT?
2 Congressmen introduced the E-Bike Act on February 11th, 2021. The full name of the Act is the Electric Bike Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act. The Act's purpose is to encourage the ongoing use of e-bikes or electric bikes by offering consumers an exemption against their income taxes.The Congressmen support the use of electric bicycles as a means of transportation that may enhance their distance, pace, and accessibility while decreasing carbon emissions. Congressman Earl is also the Chairman of the Congressional Bike Caucus and a well-known cyclist. The Congressmen believe that eBikes should be widely available as a viable and practical means of transportation that helps to reduce carbon emissions. By providing a rapid and dependable alternative method of transportation, electric bicycles have the potential to reduce automotive trips and emissions.
E-bikes let individuals get around swiftly and effectively in both urban and rural settings. They are also appropriate for all types of riders, regardless of age or physical ability. Despite the fact that eBikes lessen the pressure of pedaling and physical exertion, they may still be a terrific form of exercise.
As the government seeks to cut carbon emissions and battle climate change, numerous congressmen and women have recognized the importance electric bicycles may play in removing vehicles off the road. They recognize that ebikes for adults are a viable means of transportation that keeps people moving, active, and connected while minimizing environmental effects.
A plan to give Americans a $1,500 discount on a new electric bicycle was proposed in Congress this week, less than a year after a similar provision was omitted from the climate-focused Inflation Reduction Act.The original Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act was launched in 2021 as a method to assist in defraying the expenses of an e-bike, which may be costly but has been found to minimize automobile journeys for many users. The measure was updated after being included in President Joe Biden's Build Back Better legislation, however, it was later eliminated after the package evolved into the Inflation Reduction Act. The new E-BIKE Act is nearly identical to its predecessor, even down to the use of the same terminology.
The proposed measure would provide a refundable tax credit of up to $1,500 on the acquisition of a new e-bike. This is an improvement over the previous E-BIKE Act's revised version, which would've restricted the credit to $800, and is consistent with the initial 2021 version. The credit would also be entirely refundable, allowing lower-income persons to apply for it.
Bikes costing more than $8,000 would be ineligible for the tax credit, an increase from the revised version, which restricted the price to $4,000. Income levels are also modified.
Other significant advancements have occurred since the original E-BIKE Act was established. Several towns and states have implemented their local versions of an e-bike tax credit to considerable applause. Denver, for example, created its voucher programme, offering $400 off the purchase of a new e-bike and up to $1,200 off for low-income people. Anyone who buys an electric cargo bike will receive a $500 bonus.
Meanwhile, e-bike sales continue to soar, while regular bike sales begin to level off after the pandemic-era biking boom. Furthermore, more businesses are introducing cargo-carrying versions in an obvious attempt to attract consumers and families who wish to replace automobile journeys.
Addmotor provides its variant for electric cargo bike as GAROOTAN M-81. This cargo bike has a 750-watt rear brushless motor with over 105+ miles on a single charge on its 20 Ampere hour UL-certificated Samsung battery. The payload capacity for the M-81 cargo bike is 350 pounds. Standing at $1,800 only, this bike comes well under that E-BIKE ACT.
► Other issues Addressed
The E-BIKE Act would also address recent battery quality issues raised by a spate of fires in New York City caused by malfunctioning e-bike batteries. To assure quality, the measure would require qualified bikes to have drivetrains and batteries approved by the insurers’ Laboratory's standard UL 2849. The New York City Council recently enacted legislation requiring all e-bikes sold in the city to meet the UL standard.The Addmotor Electric bike is equipped with a UL-certified lithium-ion battery. This means that it has passed safety tests and is safe to use. The battery on the Addmotor Electric bike is UL-certified, meaning that it meets all safety standards. This is important for peace of mind when using the bike. The battery has a capacity of 10.4 Ah and a voltage of 48V, giving it a range of up to 90 miles on a single charge. It is also equipped with a smart battery management system (BMS) that monitors the battery and ensures its longevity.
The UL-certified battery is also designed to be long-lasting and reliable. It has a lifespan of up to 1000 charge cycles, which means it will last for many years. Additionally, the battery is equipped with an LCD indicator that shows the remaining charge level, so you always know when it is time to recharge.
► What electric bikes are eligible for the tax credit??
The Bill defines a qualifying electric bicycle as a "two-wheeled vehicle that is, among other things, equipped with an electric motor of fewer than 750 watts capable of propelling such vehicle." Except for those with 1000-watt motors, this criteria will apply to the majority of Addmotor bikes along with the top electric bikes now on the market.Eligible for affordable electric bikes must be class 1 electric bicycles, class 2 electric bikes, or class 3 electric bicycles, and must have the following features:
• An electric motor rated at less than 750 watts
• Pedals that can propel the vehicle
• The rider's saddle or seat
• The taxpayer must purchase the bikes in the United States. The bike must also be brand new, not leased or purchased secondhand.
Addmotor offers several models of long-range electric bikes that are designed to travel further distances without the need for recharging. A commute ebike, the citypro series has the longest range in the Addmotor livery giving about 125+ miles of range on a single charge. The fact that these e-bikes consist of 750-watt batteries only is one good piece of engineering. City Pro E-43 is one of these long-range models. These long-range Addmotor electric bikes from Addmotor are designed for traveling long distances without worrying about running out of battery power. The bikes are made in traditional bike design with slimmer aluminum bodies to handle that extra mileage.
Customers are benefited from tax rebates for e-bikes in several ways:
Affordability: Tax rebates make e-bikes more affordable for customers, reducing the cost barrier to entry. E-bikes can be expensive compared to traditional bicycles, so tax rebates can make them more accessible to a wider range of customers.Sustainability: E-bikes are a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation, and tax rebates encourage more people to switch to e-bikes from traditional gas-powered vehicles. This not only benefits the environment but also reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions.
Health: E-bikes can improve public health by promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes a healthy lifestyle.
Convenience: E-bikes are convenient for commuting and getting around town. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes a more convenient mode of transportation.
Safety: E-bikes can be safer than traditional bicycles because they allow riders to travel at faster speeds with less physical effort. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes safer cycling practices.
In summary, tax rebates for e-bikes benefit customers by making them more affordable, promoting sustainability, improving public health, providing convenience, and promoting safety. By incentivizing the adoption of e-bikes, governments can promote a healthier, more sustainable, and more efficient transportation system.
E-bike companies benefitted:
E-bike companies would even take advantage of tax rebates as they could work to lobby for tax rebates and other incentives at the local, state, and national levels. This can involve working with government officials and advocacy groups to educate them about the benefits of e-bikes and to push for policies that promote their use. By doing so, e-bike companies can help to create a more favorable environment for their products and for cycling more broadly.Finally, e-bike companies can also take advantage of tax rebates and other incentives to invest in research and development, improving their products and making them more appealing to consumers. For example, a company may use tax rebate funds to invest in battery technology, making their e-bikes more efficient and increasing their range. Similarly, they may use these funds to invest in safety features, such as better braking systems or more visible lights.
In many countries, governments are taking steps to incentivize the use of adult electric bikes. One such incentive is tax rebates for those who purchase e-bikes. For example, in the United States, the federal government offers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of an e-bike, up to a maximum of $1,500. This credit is available to individuals and businesses who purchase e-bikes for personal or work-related use. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the government has launched a program that provides a grant of up to 20% of the cost of an e-bike, up to a maximum of £350. These tax rebates make it more affordable for people to purchase e-bikes, which can cost several thousand dollars. In addition, they can help to offset the cost of other necessary equipment, such as helmets, lights, and locks.
The benefits of promoting the use of e-bikes through tax rebates are significant. E-bikes are a greener and more sustainable mode of transportation than cars and can help to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. They can also help to improve public health, as cycling is a low-impact form of exercise that can help to reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other health problems. Finally, promoting the use of e-bikes can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote more sustainable forms of transportation.
However, it is important to note that ebike rebates alone are not enough to promote the widespread adoption of e-bikes. In addition to financial incentives, cities must also invest in safe infrastructure and education campaigns to make cycling a viable option for everyone.
Safe Riding for the Modern Cyclist
While cycling is a great way to travel, it can also be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not taken. The rise of e-bikes has led to concerns about their speed and how they interact with other vehicles on the road. As a result, many governments are taking steps to ensure the safety of modern cyclists on the road.One of the ways that governments are promoting safe riding is by investing in infrastructure such as bike lanes, signage, and traffic signals. For example, New York City has committed to building 30 miles of protected bike lanes each year to make cycling safer and more accessible to all.
Another way that governments are promoting safe riding is through education campaigns. For example, the Dutch government has been running a successful campaign called "Think Bike" to promote safe cycling habits and raise awareness among motorists about the importance of sharing the road with cyclists.
Steps by the government to ensure modern ebike cyclist safety:
Governments can play a crucial role in making modern cyclists safe by implementing policies and infrastructure that prioritize cycling as a safe and sustainable mode of transportation. Here are some ways that governments can help make modern cyclists safe:Infrastructure Investment: Governments can invest in cycling infrastructure, such as bike lanes, paths, and parking facilities. These facilities provide safe spaces for cyclists to ride and park their bikes, reducing the risk of accidents and theft.
Traffic Calming Measures: Governments can implement traffic calming measures, such as speed limits, roundabouts, and traffic circles, to reduce the speed and volume of traffic on roads where cyclists and motorists share the space.
Education and Outreach: Governments can provide education and outreach programs to promote safe cycling practices and raise awareness among motorists about the rights and needs of cyclists on the road.
Legislation and Enforcement: Governments can pass and enforce laws that protect the rights of cyclists on the road, such as laws requiring motorists to give cyclists a minimum safe passing distance.
Collaboration with Stakeholders: Governments can collaborate with cycling advocacy groups, transportation planners, and other stakeholders to develop policies and infrastructure that prioritize cycling as a safe and sustainable mode of transportation.
Incentives: Governments can provide incentives, such as tax credits or subsidies, for individuals and businesses that use or promote cycling as a mode of transportation. These incentives can encourage more people to take up cycling and make it a safer and more viable transportation option.
By taking these steps, governments can help to make modern cyclists safe and encourage more people to take up cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Safe cycling infrastructure and policies benefit not just cyclists, but also motorists and pedestrians by reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and the risk of accidents and injuries on the road.
The rise of fat tire ebikes represents a significant shift in transportation, offering a more sustainable and affordable alternative to traditional cars. However, in order to promote the widespread adoption of e-bikes, governments must take steps to incentivize their use through tax rebates and other financial incentives. By doing so, they can help to promote greener and more sustainable forms of transportation, while also improving public health and reducing traffic congestion.
Speaking of traffic reduction and space consumption one option is the folding electric bike, the Foldtan M-140 is the best solution by Addmotor to this issue, it is perfect for commuting, traveling, and exploring new places. The foldability would come at a cost of mileage and battery capacity but standing at 20 Ah battery gives out 100+ miles on a single charge which is a lot considering the bike can fold.
► The Advantages of Electric Bikes
Electric bikes are a game changer for individuals searching for an environmentally sustainable, practical, and convenient means of transportation. When cycling, the electric motor assists, making it simpler to climb hills and cover longer distances. This implies that commuting cyclists may go longer without breaking a sweat, and individuals with physical disabilities can still enjoy cycling. The fat tire electric bikes give help in this as well, as they are prone to last longer and go further.E-bikes are also a less expensive option than driving or utilizing public transportation. They can be charged for pennies and require far less maintenance than automobiles or motorcycles. Furthermore, electric bikes are environmentally benign, emitting no pollutants and lowering the carbon imprint.
Addmotor gives its hand on this side with an electric cruiser bike the Herotan M-65x. This bike has a step-over frame. Also having a Banana Seat configuration, makes it easy for carrying a passenger. The 750-watt motor combined with the 20Ah battery can carry a load of 300lbs for up to 105+ miles. It costs around $2,399 which is still viable considering all the options and the other bikes in the market have way more pricing.
In conclusion, the new wave of biking presents exciting opportunities for modern cyclists to enjoy the benefits of electric bikes and support sustainable transportation options. With the introduction of tax rebates for e-bikes, more people can afford to make the switch to electric cycling, leading to reduced carbon emissions and better air quality. Additionally, by prioritizing safe riding habits and infrastructure, cyclists can feel confident and secure on the road, further promoting cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation.The new wave of cycling is not just about technology or tax rebates. It is also about the culture of cycling and the sense of community that it creates. Cycling is a social activity that connects people with the environment around them. It promotes health and wellness, encourages exploration, and fosters a sense of adventure. As more people embrace cycling as a mode of transportation, we can expect to see more innovation in the cycling industry, from the design of the bikes themselves to the development of new infrastructure and technologies. We can also anticipate more collaboration between governments, advocacy groups, and businesses to promote sustainable transportation and create a more livable and equitable future.
At the same time, it is important to recognize that there are still challenges to overcome in making cycling safe and accessible for all. Many cities and towns still lack adequate cycling infrastructure, and there is a need for more education and outreach to promote safe cycling practices and raise awareness about the benefits of cycling.
Nevertheless, the new trend of biking offers a promising vision for a more sustainable and healthy future. By embracing cycling and supporting policies and infrastructure that prioritize safe and sustainable transportation, we can create a world that is more connected, more vibrant, and more resilient.
Governments, cycling advocacy groups, and transportation planners all have a role to play in supporting the growth of cycling and ensuring safe riding practices. By investing in cycling infrastructure, providing education and outreach programs, passing and enforcing laws that protect the rights of cyclists, and offering incentives, we can create a safer and more accessible cycling environment for all.
As we look toward the future, we can anticipate even more progress in the realm of sustainable transportation, and e-bikes and cycling will surely be at the forefront of that movement. By continuing to support electric bikes and prioritizing safe cycling practices, we can create a better and more sustainable world for all.

The pioneering work on the family of silica-based M41S mesoporous materials with pore sizes from 20 to 100 Å opened a new era in shape-selective catalysis, guest-host chemistry, organic/inorganic composite materials and chromatographic separation . Most of the research has been focused on hexagonal MCM-41 type material because of its easy availability and reproducibility. Less attention has been paid to the cubic MCM-48 system. In contrast to the one dimensional channel system of MCM-41, MCM-48 has a set of two, three dimensional interpenetrating pore systems and the channels of the mesopores can be used as the carrier for functional molecules or nanoparticles [3–5]. We reported recently the deposition of Cu-oxide, Zn-oxide and Cu/Zn-oxides within the MCM-48 pore system . In addition, a number of reports have been published concerning nanosized metal oxide particles deposited in the mesopores of MCM-48 [7–9].
To find faster and economical synthesis routes for inorganic and organic materials has always been a challenging task, and the use of microwave heating for this purpose is now a subject of growing interest. Microwave synthesis might reduce the time of synthesis of standard preparations by almost two orders of magnitude. The microwave heating process works in a different way compared to conventional heating . Dependent on the penetration of the synthesis medium, microwave energy can heat the entire object to crystallization temperature rapidly and uniformly resulting in homogeneous nucleation and shorter crystallization times compared to the hydrothermal method . Moreover, this method is energy-efficient and economical. Microwave synthesis has been applied successfully for the synthesis of many zeolites and molecular sieves such as A, Y, ZSM-5, Beta, MCM-41, TS-1, aluminophosphates such as AlPO4-5, CoAPO-5, MgAPO-5, AlPO4-11 and large pore gallophosphate cloverite and GaPO4 [12–19]. Also mesoporous MCM-41 has been synthesized. So far no report on the microwave synthesis of MCM-48 has been published.
Conventionally, MCM-48 can be synthesized at 90 °C by heating the synthesis gel in an oven at autogenous pressure for 4 days. In this study we reported on the synthesis of MCM-48 using the microwave method and on its structural characterization with XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption.
MCM-48 was synthesized in polypropylene bottles under ambient pressure. 1 M NaOH solution (Baker) was taken in the bottle and cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTABr, aldrich) was added along with water, under continuos stirring over a waterbath at 40–80 °C. Afterwards, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, Merck) was added and the stirring was continued until the gel was homogeneous. The final molar gel composition of the synthesis mixture was TEOS: 0.15 CTABr: 0.5 NaOH: 80 H2O. The final gel was divided in two parts and poured in Teflon autoclaves for microwave heating. The microwave-oven used for this synthesis was a MDS-2000 system with a temperature controller as well as adjustable power output (maximum 650 W). The gel was allowed to heat at 100 °C for 1 and 2 h. The solid white products obtained were separated by filtration, washed with a mixture of H2O, Ethanol and HCl (molar ratio 18:1:2) and then dried at room temperature following a procedure similar as described in literature . The surfactant inside the as-synthesized material was removed by calcination at 100 °C for 12 h then at 540 °C for 5 h.
X-ray powder diffraction experiments were carried out using a Philips diffractometer with Cu–Kα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å) in Bragg–Brentano geometry on flat plate sample holders. Single pulse 29Si MAS-NMR experiments (pulse width 5 μs) were performed with a Bruker ASX 400. The delay time between pulses was set to 300 and 60 s for as made and the calcined samples, respectively . Spinning speed was set to about 3.5 kHz. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were measured at the temperature of boiling nitrogen using an automatic Quantachrome NOVA 2000 Analyzer. Prior to the sorption experiment, the materials were dehydrated by evacuation under specific condition (300 °C, 2 h). The BET-surface area was calculated using the conventional BET equation . The crystal size and morphology of the samples were monitored by SEM using a LEO-1530 Gemini microscope. TEM was performed using a Hitachi H-8100 instrument operating at 200 kV.
3 Results and discussion
The powder X-ray diffraction patterns for MCM-48 are shown in Fig. 1. The patterns of samples prepared by microwave hydrothermal method resembled to those prepared by the conventional, hydrothermal method. The domination 211 peak with a peak maximum at ~2.35° 2θ for Cu Kα radiation (d(211) ~ 37.6 Å) is the only resolved diffraction maximum. Indexing and analysis of peaks at higher angles was discarded because of to high experimental uncertainties. The half width of the 211 peak in the XRD pattern is wider in samples made using microwave heating, which might indicate less homogeneity of the mesoporous MCM-48 product. For mesoporous materials increasing peak half width in the diffraction pattern might be due to inhomogeneity or increased wall thickness. In addition, a mixture of different material types might cause partial signal overlap for the first peak, which will be discussed later. However, the XRD experiment can not reveal the reason for the ambiguity. In fact, because of the limited penetration depth of the microwave during the heating there is significant temperature difference between the liquid inside and the Teflon liner, which might lead to inhomogeneities in the process of formation. In order to differentiate MCM-48 from MCM-41 it is important to notice that for the first peak in the powder diffraction diagram at ~2.35° 2θ hexagonal indexing leads to the following 2θ positions for the 110 and 200 reflections of 4.1° and 4.7° 2θ, respectively. This is significantly different from the maxima in the range between 3.9° and 4.4° 2θ found in the sample synthesized using microwave heating which are typical for MCM-48 type materials. The calcination procedure was carried out in two steps. First, the sample was heated to 100 °C and annealed for 12 h then the temperature was increased up to 540 °C for 4 h. The XRD diagram of the calcined sample also shown in Fig. 1 reveals the characteristic shift of the first peak to lower d-values indicating the condensation process of the silicate species. The concomitant increase of peak intensity and half width makes the identification of the synthesis product difficult. The intensity increase of the main peak after calcination is a result of increased diffraction contrast between channel pore and wall (Fig. 1) . This peak shift of ~0.7° 2θ is also typical for MCM-48 type material and was not observed for MCM-41 synthesized under similar conditions. TEM images (Fig. 2) reveal that parts of a mesoporous particles are well aligned with respect to the electron beam and show the periodicity of the MCM-48 silica framework, yet, some parts of the images show disorder and indicate wormhole like material which may be the reasons for the peak broadening, reflected in the X-ray diffraction diagram. For improving the structural periodicity, MCM-48 was kept at 50 °C for 4 days then calcined as described before. But no difference was noticed in the TEM images before and after annealing. There was not much difference in powder XRD patterns of the sample heated in the microwave for 1 and 2 h, which means 1 h heating was sufficient for successful synthesis. In 29Si MAS NMR (Fig. 3) the as made samples exhibited two broad resonances at –100 ppm for the Q3 environment and at –110 ppm for the Q4 environment, respectively. The hydrothermally prepared MCM-48 samples show the Q3/Q4 ratio significantly above 1, but interestingly this ratio is 1:1 for microwave prepared sample. The reason is not clear, but it may be one of the characteristic feature of the sample prepared using microwave heating. The ratio of Q3 to Q4 units decreased after calcination indicating the condensation of the silanol groups to form the more stable highly four-connected tetrahedral silicate network.
As shown in SEM (Fig. 4), the average size of the samples prepared by microwave method was about 1 μm, which was bigger than that prepared my normal hydrothermal method (0.4–0.5 μm). The morphology of the crystals is spherical and similar in both the methods.
The pore size distribution curve of the sample prepared using microwave heating is given in Fig. 5 and relevant data are summarized in Table 1. The sample shows similar behavior and properties as samples prepared with the conventional hydrothermal method. The surface area and pore diameter are in the range typical for MCM-48 type material , but slightly lower than those of samples prepared from similar composition using the conventional hydrothermal method. This can be explained considering the XRD patterns, 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and the TEM images. The peak in the powder XRD diagram of the sample made by microwave heating showed broad FWHM. Since the interference pattern in the PXRD experiment is the result of the periodic arrangement of slabs of high and low electron density in two dimensions and not of the periodic ordering of single atoms as scatterers, the wall thickness as contribution to the scattering from slabs of high electron density is reflected in the signal half width, i.e. the pore wall in the sample made using microwave heating might be thicker than those of samples synthesized by the conventional hydrothermal method. This is in agreement with the 29Si NMR spectrum with a higher content of Q4-linked silicate tetrahedra, which must be present in higher concentration in samples with thicker pore walls. The increased pore wall thickness leads to less surface area and pore volume in the material. As far as the wormhole structure is concerned, the pore diameter and the wall structure should be comparable with the major phase MCM-48 and should not take influence on the values derived from N2 adsorption measurements. However, the TEM results show that a fraction of the samples prepared via microwave route is not well ordered. Consequently, the experimental parameters used during the microwave treatment need to be optimized carefully in order to obtain perfectly ordered mesoporous materials. All attempts to synthesize pure phase MCM-48 using the microwave method failed so far.
Result of the N2 adsorption experiment
Sample | BET-surface area (m2 g–1) | Total pore volume (BJH) (ccg–1) | Mean pore diameter (BJH) (nm) |
MCM-48 (h) | 1257 | 0.93 | 2.5 |
MCM-48 (m) | 835 | 0.70 | 2.0 |
The present study demonstrates the rapid synthesis of MCM-48 by the microwave method, at least as the major component in the reaction product. Much shorter time of crystallization has been achieved by this method compared to conventional synthesis. Although there is some structural disorder, mesoporous material with an intersecting channel system has been obtained. Some of the syntheses products yielded a better and more homogeneous products. Further improvement of the preparations is still needed to optimize the homogeneity of the synthesis product. However, the microwave heating method can be imagined as a time and energy-efficient route for obtaining MCM-48 type mesoporous materials.

Indiana based Grace Community Church has invested in a range of Vista lighting control solutions as part of a multi-million dollar expansion of its worship facilities. Models purchased include the full-size Vista T2, the portable Vista S1 and the playback-only Vista M1 consoles. This is to expand the church‘s capacity to three weekend worship auditoriums, to accommodate as many as 6,000 churchgoers on a typical weekend.
The Church relies on a team of over 100 volunteers to assist the paid production staff during services, which can run simultaneously in up to three auditoriums. Senior Director of Production, Daryl Cripe, therefore felt it was essential to invest in a lighting console that the inexperienced volunteers could easily understand.
He commented: “For our Church‘s philosophy, I had equal desire for functionality and ease of use in our choice of lighting console. Instead of being like a typical theater or concert, where a single person is responsible for all lighting, we are passionate about allowing volunteers, all of whom have no previous lighting experience, to be trained on and operate our theatrical lighting system. As such, yes, we need a lot of features and stability, yet we also need a console that is visual, easy to train on.”
Daryl and his production team utilized or tested various consoles, yet nothing they tried in their opinion compared to the Vista in terms of ease of use. He commented:
“From our volunteer‘s perspective, the Vista is VISUAL. They can look at a screen and see what they are doing. It feels very familiar to navigate, so they can use their existing computer knowledge. We can configure the Vista screen to look like our lighting layout in the room. The ease of creating groups, presets, cues etc. is all so simple. In addition, patching fixtures in Vista is incredibly simple. I recently showed the Technical Director at another Church our T2 console and when I showed him how to patch an automated fixture, his mouth dropped open!”
Whereas most traditional full-scale lighting desks rely on number-crunching to program shows, the Vista utilizes a graphic based interface. As a result, users can work visually and get on with designing better shows, rather than getting distracted by the actual programming process itself. It makes programming extremely fast and getting to grips with the console a relatively short learning curve.
The lighting console‘s ease of use would mean absolutely nothing if it wasn‘t up to the job of controlling the state-of-the-art lighting system in the Church‘s main auditorium; the centrepiece of their expansion program. Featuring a large 80ft by 40ft stage and seating in a 270° configuration, the Church uses high production values to emphasize the themes of its services via an eclectic mix of music, drama and video. The venue‘s extensive lighting rig includes over 850 LED, moving and conventional fixtures controlled using six universes of DMX and over 2,700 DMX channels.
Daryl was looking to bring his creative vision for the services to life using the rig‘s many cutting-edge LED fixtures; to literally paint the whole room with light. A full-size Linux-based Vista T2 console provides seamless automation of the auditorium‘s lighting rig and blackout window shutters. LED fixtures provide color changing wall uplighting either side of the stage area, while a mixture of moving lights, PARs, ParNels and conventional fixtures provide theatrical performance lighting for music and drama during the services.
In addition, smaller 1,100-seater and 400-seater auditoriums are controlled using the Vista S1 and M1 PC based consoles. The two control surfaces are designed to be used with either a Windows PC or native Mac laptop and DMX channel dongle package, providing portable and affordable Vista solutions.
The ability for volunteers to be able to switch easily between consoles in all three auditoriums was another key factor in Daryl‘s decision to choose the Vista. All models share exactly the same visual interface and controls, making a transition between models seamless.
Daryl commented: “Frankly, I cannot overstate how important this consistency is. Going back to the reality of utilizing volunteers, of DESIRING to use volunteers, the ability for those volunteers trained on the T2 to walk into a room with Vista PC and S1 / M1 and sit down and get to work creating… that is extremely valuable! In addition, if someone was trained on Vista PC, it‘s not difficult for them to then utilize the T2. Also, we have had volunteers take Vista PC home, to experiment with it on their own. Again, it‘s a great value to our philosophy and a great opportunity for our volunteers!”
Another labour-saving feature of the Vista, its innovative timeline editing function, is proving invaluable to helping the volunteers understand how to program a show. The timeline gives users the complete picture of their lighting events, making it easy to make sense of complex changes and put the finishing touches to their show.
The Vista‘s intuitive interface is proving popular with leading US houses of worship. When launched, the product was voted ‘Best Automated Lighting Controller’ and ‘Best Overall Lighting Product’ by an expert panel of judges at the 2006 WFX Show New Product Awards in Dallas, due to its suitability to the industry’s unique production environment.
Grace Community Church Senior Director of Production, Daryl Cripe, commented: “While a few ’big name consoles‘ often get most noticed in the touring world, the reality is that nothing I have seen compares to the combination of functionality and ease of use that the Vista series provides. We still need a robust console based on our lighting rig, but it is critical that it is easily trainable to volunteers. These consoles allow us to push our creativity and ultimately, our volunteers have the joy of combining creativity and support of our services. We want them to be spending their time having fun programming, not trying to figure out some complex function on the console itself. ANY church that desires to use theatrical lighting and wants to provide volunteers the opportunities to create should be examining this series of consoles. We love our Vistas.”

In-ceiling speakers are a great solution for home audio, and can provide fantastic sound quality while also being super discreet and virtually invisible. If you think ceiling speakers are poor quality compared to traditional speakers and plug-in wireless speakers, then think again. All models from top brands use technology from their Hi-Fi speakers to produce high quality true-to-life sound, and premium models can sound every bit as good as their Hi-Fi relatives if installed correctly (for further information on this please read our blog, ‘Getting the best from your custom installation speakers’).
See Nothing, Hear Everything
We're passionate about 'see nothing, hear everything' audio, and helping our customers install superb systems to give them years of listening pleasure. Ceiling speakers are the perfect solution for discreet home audio systems, whether it's one room or an entire house. Enjoy Hi-Fi sound without the Hi-Fi, and rediscover the quality of proper speakers.
We stock a huge range of in-ceiling speakers from top brands like Monitor Audio, Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Focal, DALI, JBL, Sonos, Lithe Audio and more. Depending on your requirements, you may need a specific type of in-ceiling speaker suited to the location, functionality, or existing wiring. To ensure you choose the correct speaker, here are some further details of specific models. And if you need any assistance selecting products, designing a system, or installing audio into a project, then please get in touch with our expert team.
Passive Speakers - The majority of custom installation speakers are passive, which means that just like Hi-Fi speakers, they must be wired back to an amplifier. Wireless streaming amplifiers like the Sonos Amp are the perfect partner to passive speakers. Passive speakers are normally wired as a stereo pair, or two stereo pairs for larger areas.
Active Speakers - Active speakers have a built-in amplifier. They need to be wired to a mains power supply, but because no speaker cable needs to be run back to an amplifier, they can be easier to retrofit in some circumstances. Connectivity for music playback is via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi models are required for multiroom audio and zone grouping, but Bluetooth models can be a cost effective solution for more basic needs.
Single Stereo Speakers - These speakers are passive but feature a dual voice coil and dual tweeters allowing them to be used individually with a stereo amplifier. They are generally used for smaller spaces like bathrooms and en-suites where a pair of speakers might be difficult to accommodate or unnecessary. When wiring for single stereo speakers, please remember that they require both left and right inputs, and therefore need a 4-core cable or 2x 2-core cables.
Low Profile Speakers - A typical in-ceiling speaker will require around 100-150mm of ceiling void depth. Timber floors generally provide ample depth, but certain constructions, such as concrete floors and suspended ceilings may have a significantly reduced depth. In these situations, a specialist low profile in-ceiling speaker designed to be as slim as possible may be needed.
Weatherproof Speakers - In-ceiling speakers can be used in many different environments, but if the installation location is damp or has high humidity, such as a wet room, shower, sauna, or outdoor location, then it is recommended to install IP rated weather resistant models to ensure long life in these harsher conditions.
Marine Speakers - Marine applications are arguably the toughest environment for in-ceiling speakers. Specialist marine speakers are designed to withstand water, salt spray, high humidity and UV exposure, while at the same time delivering the high performance expected for luxury yachts.

Instrument Cluster Repair FAQs
How To Remove The Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster assembly is usually held in place by a plastic bezel that connects it to the dashboard. The removal process should start with locating all the screws holding the bezel (below the dash and around the bezel) and removing them. Once the bezel is gone, you will have easy access to the cluster, which should be held with a couple of additional screws. However, before completely removing the cluster, be sure to detach all wires and cables without damaging the connectors. Of course, as always, when you are dealing with a car’s electronic components, disconnect the battery just to be safe.
How To Install An Instrument Cluster
In order to re-install your instrument cluster, you must follow the reverse procedure. Locate the wires and cables and ensure they are appropriately connected before placing the dash cluster. Secure the cluster with screws and then install the plastic bezel. Connect the car battery and test the instrument cluster, its responsiveness, features, and accuracy.
Many people are concerned about what this means for the mileage shown on the odometer. We talk more about that on the ISS Automotive blog.
Why Fix Your Instrument Cluster
Numerous things could go wrong with your instrument cluster. From simple things like failing light bulbs to loose speedometer cables. However, the first thing you should do before you start tearing down your dashboard is try to determine the problem clearly. Sometimes, if you believe that your fuel gauge is broken, it could be a faulty sending unit in your tank. Some fixes are easy, like replacing cables or bulbs, but most are very complicated and require special tools and expertise.

In most cases, yes. Instrument clusters can be repaired if they are not working correctly. Many times, the problem is with the gauges themselves and not the cluster. If the problem is with the cluster, it may be possible to replace it with a new one or have it repaired by a professional. Some of the most common problems that we see with instrument clusters include:
- Dead or dim pixels
- Inaccurate or stuck gauges
- Missing needles
- Erratic or flickering lights

What causes the instrument cluster to stop working?
There are a few potential causes for a vehicle instrument cluster to stop working, including:
- Fuse issues: A blown fuse is one of the most common reasons why an instrument cluster may stop working. Check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace them as needed.
- Loose wiring: Another possibility is that the wires connecting the instrument cluster to the vehicle's electrical system are loose or damaged. Inspect the wiring and tighten or replace any damaged wires as needed.
- Electrical issues: If the fuse and wiring are both in good condition, then there may be an issue with the instrument cluster itself or with the vehicle's electrical system. Have the vehicle's electrical system been checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair any issues.
- Mechanical issues: In some cases, the instrument cluster may stop working due to a mechanical issue, such as a broken speedometer needle or a faulty gauge. If you suspect that there is a mechanical issue, have the instrument cluster inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic.
How do you fix a broken instrument cluster?
There are a few ways that you can fix a broken instrument cluster. One way is to simply replace the entire unit. Another way is to send it out to a professional company that specializes in instrument cluster repair. Or, you can attempt to repair it yourself.
If you are going to attempt to repair it yourself, you will need to first identify what is wrong with the unit. Once you have determined the problem, you will need to find the correct replacement part. Once you have the replacement part, you will need to follow the instructions on how to install it.

Review: Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns
Michael Bowers takes an interesting approach with his book, Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns, by having created what I'd consider an encyclopedia approach. A number of different layout and design patterns are presented with their HTML and CSS solutions.
Because the book is very referential, it's unlikely that you'll pick it up and read it from beginning to end. It is, however, a great book to have at the ready when working through a design.
There are solutions for:
- callouts and quotes,
- drop caps,
- sprites, and
- alerts like inline, hanging, floating or tooltips.
The first third of the book covers basic stuff like box model handling and positioning. The middle third gets into various layouts, both at the macro (multi-column layouts) and micro (lists, tables) level. The final third covers more of the nitty gritty like image drop shadows.
My only complaint with the book is the absoluteness of the solutions. I've learned that there's more than one way to solve a problem and that each solution comes with its own pros and cons. With that said, Bowers has done a formidable job documenting the various patterns and provided quality and tested solutions. It's a great one-stop shop for HTML and CSS solutions.
Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is a good reference to add to your library, no matter what level developer you are.

At the top of the escarpment along the Hudson River, a short steep climb through the woods north of Rockland Lake, is Hook Mountain. The grand view from this favorite destination for hikers captures the river and sky from a sort of penthouse garden with a floor of grass and stone. I went there the other day to see whether a “strike” had been carried out on the invasive vine called black swallow wort. A couple of weeks earlier I had found patches of it growing among the path rush, bottlebrush grass, and little bluestem. If the swallow wort were to displace these native grasses, the beauty and the ecological health of the place would be diminished.
Large, tangled swaths of swallow wort have proliferated along the Long Path farther south and along the bike path below. Removing the relatively small patches here seemed to make sense, and I checked with Linda Rohleder the Coordinator of the New York New Jersey Trail Conference’s Invasive Species Strike Force and the new leader of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM). She agreed and arranged to send Keith Shane, a Cornell University biology student who spent the summer as an intern with the Strike Force, to do the job.
When I reached the spot the other day I found patches of yellowing leaves and little yellow warning signs that marked a pesticide application. The plant has an extensive underground root system, making manual removal difficult, and in mid-summer the seed pods split open. Disturbing the plants could send thousands of seeds on little silky parachutes far and wide. So a two percent solution of glysophate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) was used. Next year there will be more work to do.
Back down below along the road to the river trail is a burgeoning woodland landscape of aliens in flux. A newcomer, mile-a-minute vine, now clambers over mugwort, Japanese stiltgrass, and wineberry. The ubiquitous Norway maple dominates the canopy. Chances are that all of these invasive plants will be left alone to do what they will. With limited resources, parks managers will target high value spots, like the one on the ridge where there is an established landscape of predominantly native plants and a relatively small amount of invasive plants. In other cases the presence of a threatened or endangered plant will determine the approach.
Invasive plant species are identified based on the harm that they can do to the environment. Not all introduced plants become invasive, and there are gray areas in determining harm. But, generally, when describing the most troublesome actors that compete for territory in our parks, along roads and in our gardens it’s clear that any benefits these introduced plants provide are heavily outweighed by the costs. They displace species that provide much more value, and they bring along negative side effects.
Take Japanese barberry, a common landscape shrub that has come to dominate sections of the understory in woods throughout the region. Birds disperse the seeds, and the shrubs quickly displace native vegetation, deplete the soil, and create an environment that appeals to white footed mice, which carry Lyme Disease. Earthworms (another introduced species!) also like the barberry habitat, and eat the leaf litter that would otherwise build up on the ground and create healthy soil hydrology. As a result, barberry infested areas are prone to soil erosion.
Some invasive plants are familiar in our gardens either as weeds, like mugwort, or as ornamentals, like Japanese barberry and privet. It’s easy to get to know the top invasive species in our area using the internet. The NYS DEC’s Advisory Invasive Plant List ranks key species of high or very high concern. Other sites provide factsheets like this one from the USDA with detailed plant descriptions. They also give recommended control methods, which is just as important. Using the wrong method can sometimes be wasted effort, or even do more harm than good.
Once aware of plants like these it’s hard to miss them along streets, highways, train lines, and in our yards. And as entomologist Douglas Tallamy has argued, to the delight of many readers, it’s in our yards that is will be easiest to do something to make a positive difference. In Bringing Nature Home, Tallamy advocates naturalistic gardens using native plants to support local wildlife, starting with the insects. The book is a rallying cry to suburban gardeners to design their yards to provide food and habitat for native bees, butterflies and other insects because many of these coevolved with certain native plants and need them to survive.
For these “specialists,” introduced plants in the same family won’t do. Consider the monarch butterfly, whose larvae have evolved to eat native milkweeds. Milkweed populations have declined due to the use of the herbicide glysophate in agriculture, and so monarch populations are down too. The alien black swallow wort on Hook Mountain is in the milkweed family and plays host to the monarch, but while the butterflies lay their eggs on it, the larvae don’t survive. By adding native milkweeds to our gardens we can support the monarchs.
There are plenty of terrific resources for native gardeners on the internet and on the ground. The downloadable Finding Alternatives to Invasive Ornamental Plants in New York shows native substitutes for common introduced ornamental plants. In Designing Gardens with the Flora of the American East landscape architect Carolyn Summer’s describes the fundamentals of designing for wildlife and shows how to use native plants in traditional gardens. The Native Plant Center on the campus of Westchester Community College offers a series of short courses, hosts an annual native plant sale, and maintains two demonstration gardens. And this spring the new 3.5 acre Native Plant Garden opened at the New York Botanical Garden.
Native plant gardening has been a strong trend all through the decades of my career as a landscape designer, but today it’s clearer why it matters and how to make a positive difference. Sustainable landscape design, planning, and land management strategies seek to increase biodiversity, slow extinctions, and maximize ecosystem services. As we adjust our sites, we are adjusting our sights, looking beyond the garden fence to wilder places to protect them and bring their lessons home.
