<br />
<br />
The sun shone down on the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre Aug. 22 as council celebrated the completion of the biggest <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/fenlands-arena-boasts/home">solar panel</a> project in the Bow Valley.<br />
<br />
“We’re very excited to show off our latest solar panel array at the Fenlands,” Banff mayor Karen Sorensen said.<br />
<br />
The solar panel array installed on three roofs of the recreation centre began generating renewable energy on July 25, 2017.<br />
<br />
“I have to say it’s really been wonderful to watch progress of our solar program and to see how far we’ve come as a community in embracing <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eA3YQqTZ2GCvB96xVkRSnS3uPebOcE5rFRRA3x0UHaU/edit?usp=sharing">solar energy</a>,” Sorensen said. “All the way back in 2013 we installed 72 solar panels on the roof of town hall. At that time it was the largest solar installation in the Bow Valley. And here we are, just a few years later, celebrating the fact the Fenlands is now the largest with 984 solar panels.”<br />
<br />
The total cost of the project was $488,932.<br />
<br />
“We couldn’t undertake this very large solar panel (for example: <a href="http://renogysolarpanel.com/renogy-200-watt/">RENOGY 200 WATT</a> ) array installation on our own. The town of Banff was fortunate to be the recipient of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program,” she said.<br />
<br />
The program chipped in $244,466. The Town also received assistance from the Alberta Municipal Solar Program, which provided $131,575. A sum of $112,891 came from the Town of Banff’s Environmental Reserve.<br />
<br />
“These <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/18owFMrxfXQzh7M_5h0pAe-QJbZanpaheMMcWovbIXI4/edit?usp=sharing">panels</a> will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but they will provide a safeguard against electricity price fluctuations. Solar power saves money and creates jobs,” Cam Westhead, MLA for Banff-Cochrane said. “We will prevent approximately 66,600 tones of greenhouse gases over the 25 year life of the solar panels.”<br />
<br />
Visitors to the Fenlands Arena can check out a large TV screen in the lobby that shows how much energy is being consumed, and the environmental benefits of using and <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/new-solar-panel-carports/home">generating solar energy</a>.<br />
<br />
“This building is actually the municipality’s second largest <a href="http://meenredeentresuspestanias.blogspot.com/2017/09/new-solar-panel-carports-could-save-msu.html">energy</a> consumer, the wastewater treatment plant being the first, so it’s great that we’re able to put the roof to work, reducing emissions and saving $15,000 a year in electricity costs,” Sorensen said. “It’s been incredible to see our solar panel program grow over the years, but what’s even more impressive is how our community has embraced <a href="http://digitalmarketingnewstrategy.blogspot.com/2017/09/a-solar-charge-controller-or-regulator.html">solar panels</a> for their homes and businesses.”<br />
<br />
The Town of Banff Solar Production Incentive Program, the first of its kind in Canada, has supported 30 residents investing in renewable <a href="http://designabetterhouse.blogspot.com/2017/09/long-beach-moves-forward-on-solar-panel.html">energy</a> since 2015, she said.<br />
<br />
“That’s everything from the small setup on a home to covering nearly the entire roof of a business. Combined, we’ve helped our community install more than 170 kilowatts of <a href="http://grandesperolasdotwitter.blogspot.com/2017/09/powerex-maha-mh-c9000-wizardone.html">solar generation</a> capacity and every year we receive more applications to take part.”<br />
<br />
Just recently council re-stated that this incentive will continue for those purposes, she said.<br />
<br />
“It is interesting as you drive around town and go ‘oh, look who put <a href="http://intertwinedforlife.blogspot.com/2017/09/hong-kong-villagers-using-solar-energy.html">solar panels</a> up’,” Sorensen said. “So thank you for investing in solar energy. I’m very excited I’m getting mine installed in the middle of September for 7.2 kilowatts.”<br />
<br />
“Banffites pride themselves on being a model environmental <a href="http://doubleclickright.blogspot.com/2017/09/things-you-need-to-know-for-protecting.html">community</a> and one of our priorities as a council over the past four years has been environmental sustainability and reducing our impact on the National Park,” Sorensen added. “It is a privilege to live in such a spectacular place and we need to do everything we can to ensure we preserve and protect it. Investing in <a href="http://bobsideaforfuture.blogspot.com/2017/09/kinps-10000mah-power-bank-pocket-size.html">solar energy</a> is one way that we are achieving that.”Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15720155578596399145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049580245921371842.post-35316607207255836452017-06-20T01:33:00.005-07:002017-06-21T03:24:46.937-07:00Small Wind Electric Systems<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wind power is the fastest growing <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/small-wind-electric-systems/home">source of energy</a> in the world -- efficient, cost effective, and non-polluting.<br />
If you have enough wind resource in your area and the situation is right, small wind electric systems are one of the most cost-effective home-based renewable energy systems -- with zero emissions and pollution.<br />
<br />
<b>Small wind electric systems can:</b><br />
<div>
<br />
Lower your electricity bills by 50%–90%<br />
Help you avoid the high costs of having <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/how-does-solar-power-work/home">utility power</a> lines extended to a remote location<br />
Help uninterruptible power supplies ride through extended utility outages.<br />
<br />
Small wind <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zn8G23J5BJSoIL9-xVjC1KrsFrM-59HD82Apr6PBSRw/edit">electric systems</a> can also be used for a variety of other applications, including water pumping [10890] on farms and ranches.<br />
<br />
Our pages on planning for a small wind electric system, and on installing and maintaining a small wind electric system have more information.<br />
How a Small <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zSfqiUAH8TXFFiPnrq-dYVdz0ZJeWwaayDwPXGMd-jw/edit">Wind Electric System</a> Works<br />
<br />
Wind is created by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Wind turbines convert the kinetic <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/goal-zero-sherpa-100/home">energy</a> in wind into clean electricity. When the wind spins the wind turbine's blades, a rotor captures the kinetic energy of the wind and converts it into rotary motion to drive the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZZXmp6bUisHMqb4Ts8HdhTfCBJM2526FMJnBYpsBYDc/edit#">generator</a>. Most turbines have automatic overspeed-governing systems to keep the rotor from spinning out of control in very high winds. Our wind power animation has more information about how wind systems work and the benefits they provide.<br />
<br />
A small wind system can be connected to the electric grid through your power provider or it can stand alone (off-grid). This makes small wind <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/goal-zero-yeti-1250-/home">electric systems</a> a good choice for rural areas that are not already connected to the electric grid.<br />
Small Wind Electric System Components<br />
<br />
A wind <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ss-E0WaYfRNICujzOhD-Zb0pdr9WrEUAqi84jNxRgQw/edit">electric system</a> is made up of a wind turbine mounted on a tower to provide better access to stronger winds. In addition to the turbine and tower, small wind electric systems also require balance-of-system components.<br />
Turbines<br />
<br />
Most small wind turbines manufactured today are horizontal-axis, upwind machines that have two or three blades. These blades are usually made of a composite material, such as fiberglass.<br />
<br />
The turbine's frame is the structure onto which the rotor, <a href="http://bornewithit.blogspot.com/2017/06/tp-link-announces-tl-pb10400-portable.html">generator</a>, and tail are attached. The amount of energy a turbine will produce is determined primarily by the diameter of its rotor. The diameter of the rotor defines its "swept area," or the quantity of wind intercepted by the turbine. The tail keeps the turbine facing into the wind.<br />
Towers<br />
<br />
Because wind speeds increase with height, a small <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/14aRAYD-NJkklS9DeeJiURygcRtocg43wklcQWKoZsw4/edit#">wind turbine</a> is mounted on a tower. In general, the higher the tower, the more power the wind system can produce.<br />
<br />
Relatively small investments in increased tower height can yield very high rates of return in power production. For instance, to raise a 10-kilowatt generator from a 60-foot tower height to a 100-foot tower involves a 10% increase in overall system cost, but it can produce 25% more power.<br />
<br />
Most turbine manufacturers provide wind energy system packages that include towers. There are two basic types of towers: self-supporting (free-standing) and guyed. There are also tilt-down versions of guyed towers. Most home wind power systems use a guyed tower, which are the least expensive and are easier to install than self-supporting towers. However, because the guy radius must be one-half to three-quarters of the tower height, guyed towers require enough space to accommodate them.<br />
<br />
While tilt-down towers are more expensive, they offer the consumer an easy way to perform maintenance on smaller light-weight turbines, usually 10 kilowatt or less. Tilt-down towers can also be lowered to the ground during hazardous weather such as hurricanes. Aluminum towers are prone to cracking and should be avoided.<br />
Balance of System Components<br />
<br />
The balance-of-system parts you'll need for a small wind electric system -- those in addition to the wind turbine and the tower -- will depend on your application. For example, the parts required for a water pumping system will be much different from what you need for a residential application.<br />
<br />
The balance-of-system parts required will also depend on whether your system is grid-connected, stand-alone, or hybrid.<br />
<br />
Most manufacturers can provide you with a system package that includes all the parts you need for your particular application. For a residential grid-connected application, the balance-of-system parts may include the following:</div>
<div>
<br />
A controller<br />
Storage batteries<br />
An inverter (power conditioning unit)<br />
Wiring<br />
Electrical disconnect switch<br />
Grounding system<br />
Foundation for the tower.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also Solar energy is a completely free source of energy and it is found in abundance. Though the sun is 90 million miles from the earth, it takes less than 10 minutes for light to travel from that much of distance. You can use solar energy with solar panel, One of the best portable solar panel is <a href="http://goalzeronomad.com/goal-zero-nomad-7/">GOAL ZERO NOMAD 7</a> .</div>

appears to be a Speedmaster, but says Seamaster on the dial and has the case
back of a Constellation, then the watch is probably a fake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">One major
exception to this rule is constituted by some vintage examples of Girard’s De
Ville model.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Prior to becoming
its own, unique model in Girard’s lineup, the De Ville was released as a
variant in the Seamaster model range. As a result, some of the earlier versions
have both names printed on the dial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Check for

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Given that Girard
makes some of the finest timepieces in the world, you can rest assured that the
firm does not produce watches with misspellings on the dial, case, or movement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Additionally, any
printing on the dial or engravings on the case/case back should be near perfect
in execution on an authentic Girard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If the lines are
messy or crooked, then you are likely dealing with a fake watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Many
counterfeiters do not bother to take the time to fully replicate all of the
functions of the original watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Examples of this
may include a Speedmaster with non-functioning subdials or helium gas escape
valves that are misplaced or do not unscrew.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If an Girard
without a date display or any other complication has multiple crown positions,
then it is likely a sign that the movement inside was not originally intended
for that watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Look for the
serial number</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="http://www.thewatchstoreandmore.com/vintage-girard-watches">Girards vintage watches</a> are
engraved with a seven- or eight-digit serial number that is entirely unique to
that specific watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Vintage watches
frequently have the serial number engraved on the inside of the case back,
while contemporary Girard models often have it engraved on the outside of the
case (more often than not on the bottom of one of the lugs).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Even when a serial
number is present, it is worth running the number through a quick Internet
search. Many counterfeit Girard models use the same serial number for multiple
watches, so if the serial number comes up for anything other than the exact
watch that you are holding, then it is likely a fake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Examine the
movement</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If uncertainty
remains, open the watch and examine its movement or take it to a watchmaker and
have him or her do this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Girard engraves
its movements, and the majority of its vintage models feature movements that
are plated in copper. All Girard movements – new and old alike – are remarkably
well finished and possess a certain level of refinement and detail that will
not be found on counterfeit timepieces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">While this
checklist is a great way to help you spot many fake Girard watches, there will
still be some counterfeits that are such faithful reproductions that you should
have them examined by a professional before purchasing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
There I was, in the sultry south of Brazil, somewhere in the middle of a series of trips which took me to five continents in two months all in the search for delicious beer, and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.<br />
<br />
It wasn’t just the German outfits, it wasn’t the oom-pah music with the samba beat, it wasn’t even that everyone was drinking German-style lagers from large tankards while surrounded by dense, dark subtropical forest. What really struck me was how this town was built to look like a postcard illustration of a Bavarian fairytale.<br />
<br />
The town is called Blumenau and is named after Dr Hermann Blumenau, a well-connected German chemist who founded it in 1850, bringing with him a small group of immigrants from his homeland. The town gradually grew over the decades as more Germans arrived, joined by increasing numbers of Brazilians.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjd_E231pEA8GFTzb6z6UnJOWs-f0rJy2z-1c-58mAcX8w96vYtbWCBcIqJM4sLWGQHpClviv5DawAa2FkN8gghezAKNvOaj5XTnIfkXax6VRDuqVWGHbc5CyjsGYyyY6b_DMHqswVzpM/s1600/Castela_Havan_em_Blumenau_em_29_de_marco_de_2014_35%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjd_E231pEA8GFTzb6z6UnJOWs-f0rJy2z-1c-58mAcX8w96vYtbWCBcIqJM4sLWGQHpClviv5DawAa2FkN8gghezAKNvOaj5XTnIfkXax6VRDuqVWGHbc5CyjsGYyyY6b_DMHqswVzpM/s1600/Castela_Havan_em_Blumenau_em_29_de_marco_de_2014_35%255B1%255D.jpg" /></a></div>
A century later, in an attempt to draw in tourists, the town decided to market its Germanness and play up to its past, eventually leading to 1984 and an ostensible Oktoberfest, which has since become an annual thing. Alongside the party they built a replica German village, complete with a small castle which is modelled on Michelstadt town hall, and lined their streets with shops selling typical German clothes, food and beer glasses, all while encouraging the citizens to embrace their German heritage.<br />
<br />
Today the people of Blumenau call their Oktoberfest ‘The Party.’ The whole town builds up to it, the whole town gets excited about it, they dress up for it and they drink steins of German-style beer when there. If they didn’t do it annually, and they didn’t take it so seriously, you’d almost think it was the most elaborate parody you’d ever seen – a trick for the tourists. But it isn’t. And it’s a big deal: it’s literally put the town on the map and draws in hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15720155578596399145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049580245921371842.post-77316438876747996542017-01-30T08:51:00.000-08:002017-03-15T08:53:54.929-07:00Charity Beer Night: The Beer List<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With a week to go before the charity beer event (tickets here), which I’m arranging to make money for Evelina Children’s Hospital as part of my London Marathon fundraising, it’s time to reveal the beer list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
All of these have been donated by the breweries and I’ve picked them as some of my favourite things to drink right now, trying to get a balance between beer geeks and good drinking beers for a general crowd. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Starting Line Breakfast Porter (6%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Kernel Table Beer (3.1%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Kernel Dry Stout Bramling X (4.5%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Pilsner Urquell (4.4%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Firestone Walker Pivo Pils (5.3%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Gipsy Hill Hepcat Session IPA (4.5%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Summer Wine Juice Facilitator (5%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Forest Road Work (5.6%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Vocation Life and Death IPA (6%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Cloudwater DIPAv3 (8%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Boulevard Tank 7 (8.5%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Chorlton Kohatu Brett Sour (5%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Brew By Numbers Grisette Saphir (3.7%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
SeaCider (4.6%) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Plus there will be bottles of Duvel and Duvel Tripel Hop 2016 – you can use a token on these to drink in or take out. There are also two other canned beers but these are super limited and not part of the token system that come with tickets - to get these requires an additional donation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Some info on some of these beers... The Cloudwater DIPA is hitting the taps a day ahead of its official release (if you want a hint on the cans then it's a Vermont-brewed beer that Cloudwater is surely inspired by...). The Juice Facilitator is fresh out of the tanks and is going to be juuuicy. And the Pilsner Urquell has been sent as fresh as possible from the brewery so it’ll be just a few days old when we drink it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And what’s The Starting Line Breakfast Porter? I brewed a beer with UBrew for the festival and I based the recipe on the breakfast that I eat before I go for a long run: a strong coffee, a massive bowl of oat with loads of raisins in it, some honey and a banana (the beer does contain actual bananas). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We will have food on the night and Grill My Cheese are making some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches outside the brewery (these are to be paid for on the night and aren’t included in the ticket).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And it’ll be the kind-of launch of Cooking with Beer as I’ll have copies available for people to buy on the night – bring cash (£15 a copy!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The event runs from 5pm-10pm. It’s strictly ticket only and numbers are limited. There are still some tickets available and you can buy them here. A ticket to the festival costs £20, all of which goes to the charity. For your money you get five beers – most will be 2/3rd pint, with those above 8% ABV poured shorter (1/3-1/2 pint).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The beer list may change in the next week but that’s the core of it. I’m really excited by those beers and I hope others are as well. I hope to see you there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And if you want to support the charity and my marathon fundraising (here’s why it’s for Evelina Children’s Hospital), then here’s my general fundraising page.</div>
