Tread Lightly! to Protect Sedona's Off-Road Trails
Sedona has something to offer everyone who likes to get outside. From casual campers to the adrenaline junkies, there are nearly unlimited places to explore and play. This is no exception for off-roaders. There are miles of off-roading trails throughout the area, the hard part is choosing where to go.
But as off-roading grows in popularity and machines like ATVs and UTVs are more prevalent on these trails, it's important to remember how to tread lightly and why it's important to stay on the trail, follow signs, be respectful of others, and leave these trails better than you found them.
Together with Tread Lightly! and local OHV outfitters, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce have created the Red Rock OHV Conservation Crew to address local issues effecting Sedona's OHV trails and community.
Tread Lightly! is more than just a phrase, it's a national nonprofit that educates outdoor enthusiasts about how to minimize their impact outdoors and hosts public land stewardship projects to improve trails, parks and forests.
Overuse, abuse and damage lead to trail closures. No matter what kind of outdoor activities you enjoy, there is the potential to impact the land and resources negatively. To help maintain access and keep public lands healthy and beautiful, outdoor recreationists need to approach their favorite trails with a sense of respect and responsibility. Remember, access is not a given so it's on all trail users to work together to keep these places open.
Respect for public land comes in many different forms. Not only should you take care of the resources you recreate on, but also be conscientious and courteous to those who are sharing the trail, the people living in communities near trailheads and the land managers who maintain public lands.
So, what are some ways you can be respectful when riding an off-road vehicle? Firstly, leave the area better than you found it. Bring a trash bag on the trail to help pack out any trash you might find. Stay on designated trails and go over obstacles, not around, to avoid widening the trails—off-road doesn't mean off trail.
Not only should you respect the land you're on, but the people you may encounter. Keep the noise, speed, and dust down in residential areas. If crossing private property, always get permission from landowners and leave gates as you found them. Be conscientious of noise in other populous areas like campsites. Always yield to those passing you or going uphill and be courteous to other trail users and land managers.
We all have a shared stake and responsibility in taking care of our public lands for current and future generations to use and enjoy. If every person who enjoys the outdoors commits to doing their part and giving back to the land they use, it could make a big difference. By following the T.R.E.A.D. principles, trail users can protect treasured trails and public lands:
Respect the rights of others
Avoid sensitive areas

About the Morton Theatre
Built in 1910 by Monroe Bowers ("Pink") Morton, the Morton Theatre is one of the first, and the oldest surviving vaudeville theatres in the United States, uniquely built, owned, and operated by an African-American. In its heyday the Morton hosted early acts such Butterbeans and Susie, Blind Willie McTell, Curley Weaver, Cab Calloway, and Bessie Smith. The theatre also experienced the dawn of the silver screen as a movie house. The Morton Building housed not only the theatre, but also many of Athens' black doctors, dentists and pharmacists and other professionals. The fully restored Morton Theatre is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and was adapted as a performing arts space through the 1987 citizen-approved SPLOST (Special Projects Local Option Sales Tax) funding in 1993.
The rehabilitated Morton Theatre, which seats 500, is a unit of the Arts and Nature Division of Athens-Clarke County's Leisure Services Department, and is supported in part by the Morton Theatre Corporation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The theatre operates as a rental facility hosting live theatre, public ceremonies, music concerts, church services, weddings, dance concerts, film screenings, receptions, seminars, awards shows, pageants, community events, and more.

Mali vjetroagregat je po načinu rada uglavnom jednak velikim vjetroagregatima i s razvojem industrije primjenjuju se novi materijali, čime se bitno poboljšala pouzdanost i raspoloživost uređaja. Paralelno s razvojem velikih vjetroagregata počeli su se razvijati i mali vjetroagregati kao zasebno tržište. Iako ovakav sustav zahtijeva prilična početna ulaganja, cijenom je postao konkurentan tradicionalnim izvorima energije, ako se uzme u obzir cijeli životni vijek postrojenja i izuzeće troškova priključka na električnu mrežu. Malim vjetroagregatima se smatraju jedinice do 10 kW, koje su namijenjene zadovoljenu energetskih potreba na razini kućanstva.

Osim oblika lopatica i njihovog izgleda mali vjetroagregati u odnosu na velike imaju neke posebnosti:
 primjena malih vjetroagregata i njihovi tržišni principi bitno su različiti;
 mali vjetroagregati se obično postavljaju kao samostalne jedinice;
 primjenjuju se raznovrsnija tehnološka rješenja i materijali uključujući opremu za prijenos i pretvorbu energije, a posebnost su i kriteriji za izbor položaja i zahtjevi s obzirom na okoliš;
 pri odluci o ulaganju u mali vjetroagregat, ekonomski pokazatelji i povrat investicije često nisu primarni razlog, nego mnogo različitih čimbenika poput energetske neovisnost, stabilnost cijene energije i osobni doprinos čistijem okolišu;
 veliki proizvođači energije iz vjetra, tj. vjetroelektrane, proizvode električnu energiju namijenjenu priključku na prijenosnu mrežu, dok mali vjetroagregati proizvode električnu energiju na mjestu gdje se i troši što je često jeftinija opcija od tradicionalnih izvora energije, osobito u područjima izdašnim vjetrom;
 primjena i ugradnja malih vjetragregata bi trebala imati i poseban status u smislu drugačijih načina poticaja i dozvolbenih postupaka za gradnju i postavljanje.

Povijest

Energija vjetra imala je veliku ulogu u razvoju ljudske civilizacije počevši od pogona brodova 5000. pr.Kr. u Egiptu do danas, pa do mljevenja žitarica na području današnjeg Afganistana 2000. pr.K. Začeci industrije vjetra svoje korijene imaju u korištenju malih vjetroagregata. Njihova primjena uglavnom se odnosila na potrebe pumpanja vode, odnosno navodnjavanja i elektrifikacije u ruralnim sredinama, u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća prije nego što se distribucijska mreža razvila dovoljno da električna energija postane dostupna i udaljenim zajednicama. Primjerice, u Danskoj su početkom 20. stoljeća postojale brojne zajednice koje su svoje potrebe za električnom energijom i navodnjavanjem rješavale pomoću energije vjetra s ukupnom instaliranom snagom od oko 30 MW. Prvi takvi agregati obično su imali rotor s više lopatica.

Naftna kriza 1970-tih i 1980-tih godina ponovno je vratila korištenje energije vjetra zbog rasta cijena fosilnih goriva. Nedovoljno razvijen sustav poticaja zaustavio je razvoj i masovniju primjenu. U to vrijeme najveći strojevi su imali snagu od otprilike 150 kW, a kao standard se nametnuo tzv. danski koncept vjetroagregata s tri lopatice. U SAD je tada instalirano na stotine vjetroagregata koji su se, zajedno s proizvođačima koji su preživjeli dokazali kao robustan i pouzdan izvor energije. Početkom 1990-tih u razvoj i istraživanje je mnogo uloženo kako bi se poboljšala učinkovitost i smanjili troškovi. Sve ovo je utjecalo na činjenicu kako je danas industrija vjetra po godišnjem kapacitetu instalirane snage prva u svijetu, s glavninom komercijalnih vjetroagregata snage preko 1 MW. Za primjenu na moru razvijeni su i komercijalni agregati jedinične snage 5 MW.

Prednosti
Kao jedan od najjeftinijih načina za proizvodnju vlastite električne energije, mali vjetroagregati imaju dobre mogućnosti za još bolji razvoj. Zahtjevima energetske učinkovitosti u zgradarstvu, gdje se u budućnosti očekuje i energetska neovisnost svake novoizgrađene stambene jedinice, energija vjetra se nameće kao nezaobilazno rješenje u zadovoljenu energetskih potreba. Optimalno iskorištavanje strujanja zraka u energetske svrhe potiče na kreativno razmišljanje i usavršavanje postojećih tehnoloških rješenja. Mali vjetroagregati su uz neke posebnosti pri ugradnji, primjenjivi i u visoko urbaniziranim zonama, kao i na osamljenim i udaljenim objektima i zajednicama. Prilagodljivost i raznolikost njihove upotrebe ide u prilog njihovoj masovnijoj uporabi. Korištenje malih vjetroagregata za proizvodnju električne energije višestruko je korisno. Neke od prednosti su:
 zaštita okoliša;
 energetska neovisnost;
 mali trošak i stabilnost cijena električne energije;
 opskrba udaljenih i izoliranih potrošača;

Ugradnja malih vjetroagregata
Kako bi se prednosti malih vjetroagregata na pravi način iskoristile, potrebno je spomenuti i neke činjenice o kojima je potrebno voditi brigu pri instalaciji i puštanju u pogon malog vjetroagregata:
 sigurnost; dugi životni vijek ovakvih postrojenja pokazao je kako su ona vrlo sigurna pouzdana i dugotrajna, međutim pri ugradnji i održavanju je potrebno poduzeti sve sigurnosne mjere zbog visine na kojoj se mali vjetroagregat smješta;
 ekstremni vremenski uvjeti kakvi se znaju pojaviti na jadranskim otocima, poput olujne bure, mogu biti potencijalni problem za male vjetroagregate, kao i mogućnost pojave korozije zbog blizine mora, o čemu se mora voditi računa kod održavanja;
 mjesto ugradnje bi trebalo biti tako određeno da ni na koji načine ne smeta ili ugrožava susjedna imanja. Samostojeća turbina u prostoru mora biti najmanje jednu visinu stupa udaljena do ruba čestice na kojoj se nalazi;
 estetika; vjetroagregati nisu svima prihvatljivi dijelovi prostora, pa se mogu očekivati pritužbe susjeda ili turista. Ovo prvenstveno ovisi o visini stupa, načinu postavljanja, udaljenosti od prometnica i reljefu terena. Za očekivati ja kako će najviše kritika biti u turističkim područjima;
 buka; većina malih vjetroagregata proizvodi buku koja je otprilike slična po intenzitetu buci koju proizvodi prosječan kućanski hladnjak. Već nekoliko metara od mjesta postavljanja malog vjetroagregata tu buku maskira pozadinska buka koju stvara promet i vjetar koji struji preko drveća i drugih struktura u prostoru;
 utjecaj na lokalne ptice u određenim uvjetima može biti negativan iako su brojna istraživanja utvrdila da više ptica strada od kućnih mačaka nego od vjetroagregata. U svakom slučaju sustav treba postaviti što dalje od migracijskih ruta i područja gdje se puno ptica gnijezdi i hrani.

Energija vjetra

Strujanje zračnih masa karakterizirano je snagom koja je određena gustoćom i brzinom vjetra. Snaga vjetra obično se određuje po jedinici površine sljedećim izrazom:
P = 0,5 • ρ • v3
gdje su: P – snaga vjetra po jedinici površine (W/m2), ρ – gustoća zraka i v – brzina vjetra.
Prethodni izraz određuje prirodnu snagu vjetra. No, samo se dio prirodne snage vjetra može iskoristiti, a maksimalni iskoristivi dio određen je Betzovim zakonom, koji kaže kako je moguće maksimalno iskoristiti 59,3 % energije iz vjetra. Iz gornjeg izraza vidljivo je kako najveći utjecaj na snagu vjetra ima njegova brzina. Snaga vjetra proporcionalna je trećoj potenciji brzine, što znači da se povećanjem brzine vjetra njegova snaga mijenja eksponencijalno.

U praksi, vjetar struji preko lopatica vjetroagregata i okreće njegov rotor, odnosno kinetička energija u vjetru se pretvara u mehaničku energiju vrtnje rotora i to samo u određenom rasponu brzina vjetra, najčešće od 3 m/s do 25 m/s. Ovisnost električne snage vjetroagregata o brzini vjetra, koja jako varira i srednja vrijednost brzine za dato mjesto nam ne može reći koju količinu energije naš vjetroagregat može proizvesti. Ipak, kod predviđanja ponašanja vjetra na određenom mjestu, držimo se podataka koje su nam dala mjerenja. Dovoljna je i manja promjena lokacije da bi imali velike promjene u brzini vjetra. Brzinu vjetra mjerimo i aproksimiramo Rayleighovom raspodjelom.

Kako se velika količina energije dobiva pri većim brzinama vjetra, dosta nam energije dolazi u kraćim intervalima, odnosno na mahove, kao i vjetar. Posljedica toga je da vjetroelektrane nemaju stalnu snagu na izlazu kao što to imaju npr. termoelektrane, te postrojenja koja napajaju vjetroagregati moraju imati osiguranu proizvodnju električne energije i iz nekog drugog izvora. Stalnost snage kod vjetroelektrana bi nam mogao osigurati napredak u tehnologijama koje se bave spremanjem energije tako da možemo koristiti energiju koju smo dobili za jačeg vjetra onda kada ga nema.

Položaj malog vjetroagregata
Najvažniji utjecaj za bilo koji položaj, na kojoj se planira ugraditi mali vjetroagregat je srednja godišnja brzina vjetra. Mali vjetroagregati su obično smješteni u područjima u kojima je srednja godišnja brzina mala, poput blizine gradskih područja i različitih prepreka strujanju zraka, što je osnovni problem malih sustava. Unatoč ovim problemima, oduševljenje u korištenju malih vjetroagregata za proizvodnju energije je sve veći. Novi razvoj malih vjetroagregata, koji se ugrađuju na krovove kuća, imaju rotor promjera do dva metra, a nazivna snaga im je od 0,5 do 3 kW. Cijena instalacije ovakvog vjetroagregata je oko 30 000 kuna. Tipični su stupovi visine 3 - 5 metara.  Mali vjetroagregati koji se ugrađuju samostalno su snage i do 10 kW, a stupovi su uglavnom preko 15 m visine ovisno o blizini prepreka strujanju.
Mali vjetroagregati se mogu koristit u primjenama skupa s priključkom na električnu mrežu, gdje im je glavna svrha ušteda energije i smanjenje energetske ovisnosti o mrežnom priključku, a također mogu biti spojeni u otočni sustav, čime se nastoji postići osiguranje opskrbe električnom energijom za izolirane zajednice ili kućanstva koja nemaju priključak na elektroenergetski sustav.

Vrste malih vjetroagregata
Postoje brojni oblici vjetragregata na kojima je obavljen niz testiranja, na gotovo svim mogućim konceptima, s ciljem postizanja što je veće moguće snage, uz najmanju cijenu i uz najveću moguću pouzdanost korištenjem zračnih tunela i računalnih simulacija. U konačnici, testovima je dokazano kako je koncept vjetroagregata s horizontalnom osi vrtnje rotora, najbolji za komercijalno iskorištavanje.

Jedna od posebnosti malih vjetroagregata je i njihova raznovrsnost u odnosu na velike vjetroagregate, gdje dominiraju rotori s horizontalnom osi vrtnje i tri lopatice rotora vjetroturbine. Mali vjetroagregati se mogu podijeliti na dvije osnovne podvrste:
 s horizontalnom osi vrtnje rotora
 s vertikalnom osi vrtnje rotora
Vjetroagregati s horizontalnom osi vrtnje rotora imaju vratilo generatora paralelno sa zemljinom površinom. Njihova posebnost je što se samousmjeravaju u odnosu na smjer puhanja vjetra. Pri ugradnji zauzimaju vrlo malo prostora na tlu i mehanički su jednostavni. Većina vjetroagregata dostupnih na tržištu ima ovakvu konstrukciju.

Vjetroagregati s vertikalnom osi vrtnje imaju vratilo okomito na zemljinu površinu. Jednako su osjetljivi i trenutno prilagodljivi na puhanje vjetra iz bilo kojeg smjera. Na tlu zauzimaju nešto veću površinu za montažu i učvršćivanje stupa. Danas postoji nekoliko proizvođača koji su vjerni ovom konceptu primjenjivom isključivo na malim vjetroagregatima.

Osim ova dva klasična pristupa, neki proizvođači novim idejama pokušavaju na najbolji način iskoristit prednosti oba koncepta i konstruirati uređaje koji postižu puno veću učinkovitost nego konvencionalni mali vjetroagregati. U većini slučajeva, puno se pozornosti poklanja obliku lopatica rotora vjetragregata, kako bi se na najbolji način iskoristilo strujanje zraka. Teorijsko znanje iz mehanike fluida, računalne simulacije kao i praktični primjeri iz zrakoplovne industrije, uvelike su pomogli pri konstruiranju ovakvih uređaja.

Dijelovi malih vjetroagregata
Svaki mali vjetroagregat sastoji se od nekoliko osnovnih dijelova:
 rotor vjetragregata se sastoji od lopatica koje su pričvršćene za glavčinu, odnosno vratilo koja povezuje rotor i reduktor. Moderne lopatice su oblikovane vrlo slično kao i zrakoplovna krila, a uglavnom su izrađene od stakloplastike ili metala. Zrak struji preko njih i zbog razlike brzina na privjetrinskoj i zavjetrinskoj strani nastaje potisna sila na lopaticu, odnosno kinetička energija strujanja vjetra se pretvara u mehaničku energiju vrtnje rotora. Promjer rotora vjetroturbine određuje koliko će se energije iz vjetra pretvoriti u mehaničku energiju vrtnje;
 reduktor je uređaj koji usklađuje brzinu vrtnje rotora vjetroagregata i brzinu koja je potrebna za vrtnju generatora. Većina uređaja koji imaju snagu manju od 10 kW nema reduktor, a za ispravljanje napona koji generator proizvodi koristi se regulatori napona;
 električni generator je uređaj koji mehaničku energiju vrtnje rotora pretvara u električnu energiju;
 gondola je kućište u kojem se nalazi generator, a svrha joj je zaštita generatora;
 repno krilo služi za usmjeravanje rotora vjetroagregata u vjetar. To je jednostavni dio koji obično na malim vjetragregatima zamjenjuje servo motore, odnosno mehanizam koji zakreće rotor u vjetar;

Osim ovih osnovnih dijelova sustava, mali vjetroagregati se obično isporučuju sa stupom koji mora biti projektiran tako da zadovolji ekstremne uvjete vjetra i otpornost na nepovoljne vremenske uvjete poput tuče i leda. Za male sustave ti stupovi su obično robusni, cjevasti nosači što omogućuje ugradnju vjetragregata na njegov vrh na zemlji, a podižu se pomoću električnog vitla, sistemom poluge. Mogu imati sigurnosne čelične užadi, što ih čini vrlo stabilnima i sigurnima za održavanje i rad vjetroagregata.

Uređaji za prilagodbu oblika napona
Izlazni naponi iz malih vjetroagregata u pravilu se razlikuje od napona potrebnih za punjenje akumulatora (spremnika energije) i potrošača. Mali vjetroagregati mogu proizvoditi istosmjernu ili izmjeničnu električnu energiju. Ovisno o korištenom generatoru u vjetroagregatu, izlazni naponi se mogu kretati u velikom rasponu. Zbog male količine raspoložive energije, potrebno je prilagoditi oblik i veličinu električnog napona i struje sa što manjim gubicima energije. Izmjeničnu električnu energiju obično koriste uređaji poput hladnjaka, štednjaka, klimatizacijskih uređaja i priručnih alata, odnosno većine uređaja koji se koriste u kućanstvu i malom poduzetništvu. Kvaliteta dobivene izmjenične električne energije, odnosno pravi sinusni signal, je vrlo važna za napajanje osjetljivih uređaja poput računala. Uređaji poput TV prijemnika, radio prijemnika, računala i ostalih elektroničkih uređaja, svoj rad baziraju na istosmjernim naponu, tradicionalno su zbog jednostavnosti izvedeni za rad s izmjeničnim naponom, no dostupni su i u varijantama za rad s istosmjernim naponom. Zbog male količine raspoložive energije, potrebno je prilagoditi oblik i veličinu električnog napona i struje sa što manjim gubicima energije. Uređaji za prilagodbu napona su najčešće elektronički uređaji koje je, prema funkciji moguće podijeliti na sljedeće:
 kontroler punjenja: ovi uređaji služe za kontrolu punjenja akumulatora. Najčešće su to jednostavni elektronički uređaji koji kontroliraju isključivo punjenje akumulatora, bez utjecaja na ulaznu električnu veličinu (npr. bez utjecaja na radnu točku fotonaponske ploče). Koriste se za jednostavnije aplikacije poput automatskih mjernih postaja i SOS telefona, gdje je količina potrebne energije već zadovoljena s električnim karakteristikama izvora i nije potrebna točna regulacija snage.
 DC - DC pretvarač: služi za prilagodbu (pretvaranje) jedne razine istosmjernog napona u drugu, potrebnu za rad uređaja i/ili punjenje akumulatora, s dovoljnom učinkovitosti pretvorbe. Ovakvi uređaji najčešće kontroliraju ulazne veličine poput postavljanja fotonaponskog polja u radnu točku maksimalne snage, te izlazni naponi ovih uređaja odgovaraju standardnim naponima akumulatorskih banki od 12, 24, 36 i 48 V.
 DC - AC pretvarač: služi za pretvaranje istosmjernog oblika napona u izmjenični, potreban za rad uređaja koji koriste izmjenični napon. Ulazni istosmjerni napon može biti izlaz iz vjetroagregata, te napon iz akumulatorske banke. Slično kao i DC - DC pretvarač, najčešće ima kontrolu ulazne veličine, ako na ulazu koristi vjetroagregat. Zbog načina transformacije istosmjernog napona u izmjenični, ovi uređaji se nazivaju izmjenjivačima, pretvaračima ili inverterima.

AC-DC pretvarač: pretvaraju izmjenični napon u istosmjerni, a nužni su na primjer za punjenje baterija ako je napajanje izmjenično. Ti uređaji se nazivaju ispravljači.

Konačan korišteni uređaj za prilagodbu napona može se sastojati od više različitih prikazanih uređaja uklopljenih u jednu cjelinu, te se nazivati prema njegovoj osnovnoj funkciji. Tako se npr. u složenim samostalnim sustavima javlja potreba za prilagodbom istosmjernih napona s vjetroagregata na istosmjerni napon potreban za punjenje akumulatora, dok je istovremeno napon iz akumulatora potrebno pretvoriti u izmjenični oblik za napajanje trošila. Tada se takav uređaj naziva izmjenjivač, iako osim samog izmjenjivača sadrži i DC-DC pretvarač i kontrolor punjenja akumulatora.

Spremnici energije
Zbog prirode energije vjetra koju nije moguće predvidjeti na vremenskoj mikroskali, te također potrebe za energijom koja se ne mora nužno poklapati na vremenskoj razini s dostupnim energetskim izvorima, električnu energiju proizvedenu pomoću vjetroagregata, kod samostalnih sustava je potrebno pohraniti u spremnike energije. Elektrokemijski akumulatori, odnosno punjive baterije su najrašireniji spremnici energije, ali osim njih se mogu koristiti zamašnjaci, podignuti rezervoari tekućine (potencijalna energija), superkondenzatori te ostali, manje rašireni sustavi.

Zbog svoje jednostavnosti, dostupnosti, raširenosti i relativno laganog održavanja najrašireniji korišteni spremnik energije u autonomnim sustavima su elektrokemijski akumulatori (punjive baterije). Na tržištu postoji veliki broj raznih tipova akumulatora, ovisno o primjeni. Najraširenije u primjeni su olovni akumulatori koji se tradicionalno koriste kao spremnik električne energije za zahtjevnije sustave. Za napajanje manjih uređaja, raširena je upotreba akumulatora na bazi nikla (nikal-kadmij i nikal-metal-hidrid akumulatori) koji se u zadnjih par godina zamjenjuju akumulatorima na bazi litija (litij-ion, litij-polimer, te u zadnje vrijeme i litij-željezo-fosfat). Od ostalih tehnologija akumulatora značajno je spomenuti RedOx akumulatore. Osnovni zahtjevi koji se postavljaju za akumulatore su dugi životni vijek, malo samopražnjenje, visoka efikasnost punjenja, niska cijena i jednostavno održavanje.

Olovni akumulatori najraširenije su korišteni elektrokemijski akumulatori. Osim klasičnog olovnog akumulatora s elektrolitom, koji se koristi kod vozila, postoji i cijeli niz drugih tipova olovnih akumulatora, koji omogućuju duboko pražnjenje, te se koriste u samostalnim sustavima. Najznačajniji predstavnici su suhi olovni akumulator i olovni akumulator s gelom. Ovi akumulatori su hermetički zatvoreni, te im nije potrebno mijenjati elektrolit, kao kod automobilskih akumulatora, što pojednostavljuje održavanje, ali zahtijevaju strožu kontrolu punjenja. Zbog primjene i u samostalnim sustavima napajanja s fotonaponskim pločama, ovaj tip akumulatora često se naziva i sunčeva baterija.

Sunčev kombiniran sustav za jadranske otoke

Mediteransko okružje jamči znatan broj sunčanih dana i u zimskim mjesecima, a lokalna, priobalna cirkulacija osigurava dovoljno vjetra čak i u ljetnim mjesecima, čime se osigurava električna energija upravo onda kad je potrebna. Za slučajeve kada nema Sunca i ne puše vjetar, što se zna dogoditi za mirnih ljetnih noći, izvor energije su baterije koje se pune danju i kad puše dovoljno vjetra.

Optimalni sustav za primjenu na otoku Krku bi bio:
 fotonaponski sustav instalirane snage 2,2 kW
 mali vjetroagregat instalirane snage 3 kW (20 m stup)
 spremnici energije (baterije) 4 x 2500 Ah 2 V
 pretvarač (inverter) instalirane snage 5 kW
Odabrana inačica optimiranog sustava proizvodi 8816 kWh godišnje, dok su potrebe za energijom 5051 kWh. Sustav je prema tome u stanju isporučiti i više energije nego što je to potrebno. Vremenska neusklađenost proizvodnje i potrošnje uzrok je nemogućnosti iskorištavanja dijela energije kad ona nije potrebna. Taj višak energije se može iskoristiti za zagrijavanje vode, odnosno grijanje ili hlađenje prostora. Optimiranjem su dobiveni troškovi početnog ulaganja u sustav, u rasponu od 82 698 do 129 6390 kuna.

If sagging skin on your upper arms makes you feel self conscious in anything but a long sleeved shirt, consider arm lift surgery. When Spring finally comes to the area, you want to go outside in short sleeves and feel the warm sun on your skin. Consider visiting with Garcia Plastic & Hand Surgery, serving Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls, to achieve a slimmer, more attractive look in your arms through cosmetic surgery.
An arm lift is a popular procedure for older adults and weight loss patients who have saggy skin on their upper arms. In addition to addressing their cosmetic concerns, many arm lift patients enjoy greater comfort, with clothes fitting much better. Slimmer arms can make a patient's entire upper body look much more toned and trim.
Dr. Garcia has gained a reputation for high-level service and patient care. Request a consultation today to start feeling more confident wherever you go. Arm lift surgery can dramatically slim and shape your upper body appearance.
Dr. Garcia begins each arm lift procedure by making an incision on the inside of the arm from the elbow to the armpit, removing skin and recontouring the area. To ensure proper healing, you will need to limit activity and wear a special support garment for several weeks after the procedure. Most patients will have visible scars on their arms, though patients generally feel that some scarring is better than excessively loose and flabby skin. You should be ready to show off your thinner, more sculpted arms in a matter of weeks. You can maintain your results by taking care to exercise and eat right.
At your consultation, Dr. Garcia can answer your questions about arm lifts or other types of plastic surgery procedures you may be exploring. Some of the more popular procedures he performs for residents from Saratoga Springs to Glens Falls are tummy tucks, breast augmentation and facelifts.
Start enjoying short sleeved shirts and tank tops again by requesting your consultation today. Fill out the form below or call (518) 793-0475.

Nail fungus is more than just an ugly appearance. It can have a bad odor and can also become painful. I talked with my doctor about my own nail fungus, and he recommended that I see a podiatrist and follow a long treatment plan. The only problem with that is I do not have the proper insurance that would cover it, and I simply did not have the money I would need to make that happen. I went online to seek further help, and that is how I found a Zetaclear review that made me want to try it.


Here's the Quilt that I Sent…..
This is the mini quilt that I sent to my swap partner, Kim Kiley for the 2009 Fall Mini Quilt Swap. I did a patchwork background in light, subtle colored fabrics, then I did a raw applique tree, which I sewed up and down to create lines (bark). I then did random cutting on the leaves, sewed them using raw applique, and then I machine stitched (quilted) around them with a brown varigated thread to give them a 3-dimensional look. A little hard to see in the pictures that I took.
Closeup of sewing around the leaves.
These swaps are so addicting! The small quilts are fun to make and I love seeing all of the creativity that is out there! All of these quilters have such a wide range of talents. Click on over to the Flicker group and check them out!

Beautiful! Definitely worthy of hanging on my walls! I love how you did the raw applique with the branches and leaves. I love that patchwork for the background and the nice framing, which reminds me of matting and framing. A work of art with this one!
Are you doing the winter quilt swap? I saw an announcement for it last week.
That is so beautiful, Cheryl! it would look great hanging in an entryway during Fall!

Q: c# rules about: a mod b, while a is bigger than b I was examining a code about operator overloading, and I saw an interesting way of use of % to convert seconds to minutes if second variable is bigger than 59.
It seems while a<b (both int) a%b returns a, I havent read a rule about this before, I wanna learn why it returns a, is it about they are declared as integers, are there any more rules about %?
Thanks

A: % is the modulo operator. The modulo operation a % b returns the remainder z in the division
a / b = x, remainder z

In other words, it returns y in this equation:
x * b + y = a

*The second equation also shows why this works for fractional numbers too.**
Thus, the following examples (not complete) are true:
-5 % 4 = -1
-4 % 4 = 0
-3 % 4 = -3
 ...
 1 % 4 = 1
 2 % 4 = 2
 3 % 4 = 3
 4 % 4 = 0
 5 % 4 = 1
 ...
 101.4 % 100.3 = 1.1

In your example converting seconds to minutes and seconds, you probably read something like this:
int totalseconds = 72;
int minutes = totalseconds / 60; // == 1
int seconds = totalseconds % 60; // == 12

This is the same thing: the minutes are calculated as totalseconds / 60, which is an integral division that "rounds" to the lower integer for positive numbers, thus the result of 1. The seconds left are calculated as the remainder of 72 and 60.
You could also calculate the seconds like
int seconds = totalseconds - (minutes * 60)

A: a mod b is the remainder of a a / b, therefore if a < b AND a > -b the remainder is always a.
The following rules are valid for C#, but might differ in other languages, refer to Modulo operation page on Wikipedia for more information.
0 mod 3 = 0
1 mod 3 = 1
2 mod 3 = 2
3 mod 3 = 0
4 mod 3 = 1

-1 mod 3 = -1  // 2 in some languages
-2 mod 3 = -2  // 1 in some languages
-3 mod 3 = 0
-4 mod 3 = -1  // 2 in some languages

// if your language supports mod of floats
1.5 mod 3 = 1.5
5.5 mod 3 = 2.5
-1.5 mod 3 = -1.5  // 1.5 in some languages
-5.5 mod 3 = -2.5  // 0.5 in some languages

A: In general, for any a and any b:
a / b = (SomeConstant * b) + RemainderOfb*
So if a = 2 and b = 5 means a < b then:

How many SomeConstant do you need to multiply b with, in order to get close to a? And once you get close, what is your remainder?

so if
a / b  = (5 * 0) + 2
Means Remainder = 2 out of 5.
Then: a % b means the Remainder with respect to b, which is = 2.
And if a = 3 and b = 2 means a > b then:

If you remove all the "b"s from a, what is the Remainder? You can do
  it the easy way: Subtract "a" from "b" till you can't subtract
  anymore. Or:

a / b = SomeConstant * a (which is how many "a"s did you subtract) + Remainder
Substitute:
a / b = (1 * 2) + 1
Means Remainder = 1 out of the 2
Then a % b equals the Remainder with respect to a, which is = 1

Fundraising Initiative for Fleet Education Hits $26,000 in Just 10 Days
PRINCETON, N.J. – (May 23, 2018) – The NAFA Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization formed in 1976 to support the vehicle fleet industry, reached a milestone by raising more than $26,000 in just 10 days – headlined by Element Fleet Management's $15,000 kick-off pledge.
The NAFA Foundation launched its capital campaign on April 24, 2018, at NAFA Fleet Management Association's (NAFA) annual Institute & Expo. Element announced its pledge that day, providing significant momentum to the campaign.
"We are inspired by what the NAFA Foundation is going to focus on in 2018," said Mary Sticha, CAFM®, Senior Vice President of Operational Excellence for Element. "We are particularly interested in the mobility study it has committed to. We feel this is something Element must invest in as it's a critical component to the future of our industry."
In addition to Element, several other fleet organizations – including Merchants Fleet Management, Altec, and Lyft – made gifts to the Foundation, as well as many individual donors through an at-event text-to-donate program.
"As the fleet industry makes a rapid transformation into the 'mobility' industry, the NAFA Foundation is providing fleet professionals with the building blocks to transform their units, teams, and personal careers to a mobility orientation," said Phillip E. Russo, CAE, CEO of the NAFA Foundation. "We see a significant need to arm every fleet professional with tools to help them clearly demonstrate their contributions and value to their senior leadership. The industry is enthusiastically embracing these Foundation initiatives."
The NAFA Foundation will use these funds, plus future support, to engage in multiple efforts to increase the knowledge base of the feet industry, guide professionals through the significant changes impacting the industry, and fund research to advance fleet professionals' growth.
Among the near-term initiatives of the NAFA Foundation are:
Commissioning an "issue definition paper" that will offer guidance on how fleet and procurement teams can form a productive partnership that fosters better fleet performance. This paper will be available in May.
Teaming up with international mobility expert Lukas Neckermann to develop an in-depth white paper that will include immediate steps for fleet managers to take to embrace mobility options
Presenting a webinar about the Neckermann mobility paper in early Fall 2018, followed by an in-person workshop on the subject next Spring
Although the campaign kick-off was notable in its success, the NAFA Foundation continues to seek gifts and donations throughout the fleet industry. Contributions to the NAFA Foundation are tax-deductible under IRS guidelines. To donate, visit this link.

These days, more and more men are interested in dating Latin women. Some men even go so far as to fly to South America in order to meet these women. And in some cases, a few lucky gentlemen end up marrying their dates. It also helps that Latinas are open to relationships with foreign men and are quite responsive to their advances.
Because of online dating, men are slowly getting out of their comfort zones and seeking for love outside of their own country. This medium has also made it easier for them to connect with women they normally wouldn't meet. As a result, there are more and more interracial couples in society.
Latin women are among the most coveted and highly sought-after women in the world. With their gorgeous physique, great character, pleasing personality, and their overall demeanor, men naturally find them irresistible. A number of men have found lifelong partners with Latinas. But just like any relationship, dating a Latina is not always rainbows and butterflies.
Many will tell you that when you date Latin women, expect to eat A LOT. Latinos are known for their generosity and hospitality. When you are invited to their home, you would be served with dish after dish after dish. And refusing any food offered is considered rude. So you might as well skip your diet and take this opportunity to sample authentic Latin cuisine.
Latin America has many wonderful sights to see. There's the ever so popular Machu Picchu in Peru, the ruins of Tikal in Guatemala, and the soft water of Iguazu Falls in the borders of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay just to name a few. The abundance of picturesque scenery, beautiful tropical landscapes and adventurous activities that can be had in the region make it an ideal dating destination.
Travelling to another country could be even more enjoyable when you are with the right company. What better company to have than with a Latina woman? There's just no room for dull moments with one around.

When Christine Crawford, 57, began discussing gender transition surgery with her hormone specialist at a clinic for Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, she expressed concern over the process of legally changing her name to Christine.
The process, which can take three to six months, was one more stressful item on a "to-do" list that included surgery.
But an attorney at the Mount Sinai Medical-Legal Partnership was able to take the stress out of the name change. The attorney drafted a petition to change Crawford's name, expedited the process and got a court date on the calendar. In just about a month, Crawford's name was legally changed quickly enough for her new name to appear on her recently completed master's degree in social work.
"It took a lot of stress off me and a lot of worry," says Crawford, who was MSMLP's first client. "My attorney cared about me as a human being and really wanted things to turn out well for me," she added.
Less than a year old, MSMLP has no central office or employees but rather operates on a case-by-case basis to provide volunteer, pro bono legal aid to patients.
The MSMLP provides dedicated programs for specific hospitals and clinics within the New York system. These include child and family services at Mount Sinai St. Luke's Roosevelt, which was awarded a $1.33 million grant from the Manhattan District Attorney's Criminal Justice Investment Initiative to provide free legal services for patients at risk of poor life outcomes. It focuses on representation in youth suspension hearings, legal screenings and other services.
At the Mount Sinai Palliative Care Institute, the MSMLP has a program to provide standby guardianship for minor children of dying patients. The partnership also works with volunteer legal organizations for services involving domestic issues and housing discrimination and hopes to have two or three more programs started by the end of the year, including one associated with Mount Sinai's Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization, says Beth Essig, executive vice president and general counsel of Mount Sinai Health System.
Roughly 300 hospitals, health systems and clinics are now part of medical-legal partnerships, as the field begins to realize how closely the social determinants of health are linked to the law, says Joel Teitelbaum, co-director of the National Center for Medical Legal Partnerships.
Though positive stories are plentiful, when it comes to showing the measurable effect of medical-legal partnerships on health outcomes, "it's very much in the early stages," says Teitelbaum.
This shouldn't make health care leaders hesitant to consider incorporating legal advice into care, though, as long as they consider their patient base, Teitelbaum says. Other factors to consider are the level of integration that can be achieved and sustained along with the best partners in the community, he says. And like many large undertakings, take your time.

'His Dark Materials' Adds Amir Wilson As Will Parry
Posted June 7th, 2019 by Jax Motes
'The Secret Garden's Amir Wilson is the newest cast member to join HBO and BBC's 'His Dark Materials', a series adaptation of Philip Pullman's best-selling book series. The TV adaptation is still in production of Season 1 but has already been renewed for a second. Wilson will play the major role of Will Parry.
His casting was announced via the show's Instagram:
"One day, you'll follow in your father's footsteps. You're going to be a great man too. You'll take up his mantle."
Introducing @Amirrwilsonn as Will Parry.#HisDarkMaterials pic.twitter.com/6lPg1bssmZ
— His Dark Materials (@darkmaterials) June 6, 2019
In the books, Will Parry is described as a 12-year-old boy with "straight black eyebrows, dark hair with a strong, jutting jaw." The description is vague, so the character has typically been depicted as Caucasian in illustrations, but race is never specified. He becomes an important figure, especially after obtaining the titular knife that allows him to cross between realities.
Wilson will co-star with 'Logan's Dafne Keen, who plays the female lead Lyra. The pair find themselves in a parallel universe, where they encounter "all manner of strange creatures and roaming wild children," all the while Will searches for clues as to what became of his father, who disappeared years ago.
Will pops up in the second book in the series, 'The Subtle Knife', so he may not appear until the second season. The first appears to focus on Lyra, and the events of the book 'The Northern Lights', released in the US as 'The Golden Compass' which was adapted into a movie in 2007, featuring Michelle Pfeifer.
The cast of the TV adaptation of 'His Dark Materials' also includes James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Clarke Peters. Tom Hooper is directing, with a script by Jack Thorne, who also penned the adaptation of 'The Secret Garden' in which Wilson also stars.
Adapting Philip Pullman's award-winning trilogy of the same name, which is considered a modern masterpiece of imaginative fiction, the first season follows Lyra, a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.
'His Dark Materials' Season 1 is expected to arrive on HBO and BBC One later this year.

Lensless camera made from metamaterials helps cars avoid collision
Cheap sensors that help cars avoid collisions could emerge from research into a lensless imaging system.
US scientists have used metamaterials to build the imaging system, which samples infra-red and microwave light.
Metamaterials are materials that have properties purposefully designed rather than determined by their chemistry.
The sensor also compresses the images it captures in contrast to current compression systems, which only squash images after they are taken.
Most imaging systems, such as those found in digital cameras, use a lens to focus a scene on a sensor studded with millions of tiny sensors. More sensors means more detail is captured and, generally, produces a higher resolution image.
The imaging system developed by graduate student John Hunt and colleagues at Duke University in North Carolina has no lens and instead combines a metamaterial mask or aperture and complicated mathematics to generate an image of a scene.
The aperture is used to focus different wavelengths of light in different parts of a scene onto a detector. The different frequencies in the scene are sampled sequentially.
This sampling helped to work out the distribution and mix of light wavelengths and their relative intensities found in a scene, said John Hunt.
Cheap sensors that help cars avoid collisions could emerge from research into a lensless imaging system made from metamaterials
"Then we use some very elegant maths which was developed in computational imaging to turn that data into a 2D picture," he told the Science podcast. The wavelength sampling was done electronically so happens very fast, he added.
Currently the imaging system could capture about 10 images per second, he said. In addition, the imaging system compressed the information as it was gathered. Most other image compression systems, such as the widely used Jpeg format, are applied after an image has been snapped.
While imaging systems that capture infra-red and microwave wavelengths already existed, said John Hunt, they were typically expensive, bulky or complicated to build.
By contrast, the Duke imaging system used a thin strip of metamaterial mated with some electronics and processing software. Although it did not yet work with visible wavelengths of light, John Hunt said it could lead to a range of cheap, small, portable sensors that could find a role in many different fields.
"You could build an imager into the body of a car to do collision-avoidance imaging, or you could have a cheap handheld device to look through walls for wires and pipes," he said.
A research paper detailing the work has appeared in the journal Science.
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise involved in a minor car collision in Manhattan
New reports claim that Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise were involved in a minor car collision in New York City yesterday.
Katie Holmes and her six-year-old daughter with Tom Cruise are believed to have been riding in the back of a black Mercedes sedan when it was struck by a sanitation truck on Monday evening.
No one was reported hurt in the incident.
The actress was seen leaving Manhattan's Chelsea Piers with Suri, where she takes gymnastics, before the incident occurred.
Katie Holmes and Suri are believed to have been riding in the back of a black Mercedes sedan when it was struck by a sanitation truck
Police arrived to the scene and documented the damage on the S550, which sustained a large dent and several scratches to the rear driver side panel.
It appeared the Volvo dump truck – from Classic Santitation Recycling New York Corp – had backed into the luxury vehicle.
Katie Holmes and Suri were not seen at the scene of the accident. It was unclear if the actress and her daughter were in the vehicle when the incident occurred.
However, drivers of the Mercedes and sanitation truck were seen talking to authorities.
Reports Katie Holmes and Suri were involved in the collision were originally published by Pacific Coast News and X17Online, who captured pictures at the scene.

Introspekcjoniści (jid. Inzichistn) – żydowska awangardowa grupa literacka działająca w Nowym Jorku od 1920.

Grupa była określana także jako retrospektywiści lub introspektywiści. Początkiem działalności grupy było wydanie w 1920 almanachu In zich (pol. W sobie). Światopoglądowo grupa stała w opozycji do grupy Di Junge, również skupiającej literatów żydowskich. Członkami grupy byli pisarze i poeci żydowscy, pochodzący z terenu Polski i Rosji, m.in. Aron Glanc-Łejeles, Jakub Glatsztejn, Nahum Minkow. Introspekcjoniści pisali w języku jidysz.

Członkowie grupy uważali, że prawdę o życiu można poznać, zagłębiając się w sobie, a rzeczywistość istnieje o tyle, o ile odzwierciedla się w poecie, w którym przywracana jest do istnienia poprzez akt twórczy. W swoim manifeście grupa postulowała używanie prostego języka bez zbędnych ozdobników stylistycznych, wolność poety w wyborze tematów, prezentację jednoznacznych obrazów, klarowność i jasność wypowiedzi (w reakcji na Impresjonizm i symbolizm). W poetyce grupy widoczne były wpływy imagizmu. Introspekcjoniści uprawiali krótkie formy, eksperymenty słownie. Odrzucali tematykę narodową (nawiązaniem do kultury żydowskiej było tylko używanie języka jidysz), opiewali tematykę wielkomiejską, preferowali tematy uniwersalne. Jednak pod koniec lat 30. XX w. członkowie grupy odeszli od awangardowych założeń, podejmując problematykę społeczną, narodową i religijną, zaś po II wojnie światowej zajęli się tematyką holokaustu i tragedii narodu żydowskiego.

Scottish Liberal Democrat business manager Mike Rumbles MSP today said that the SNP must end the council tax rather than entrench it, after it was confirmed that a debate will now take place ahead of the vote on the Scottish Government's proposal to increase rates this Thursday.
At the Scottish Parliament's Business Bureau yesterday, Mr Rumbles secured support for suspending normal procedures to allow for a proper debate on the proposal.
The Scottish Government didn't schedule any additional time. This means that, without the Scottish Liberal Democrats' intervention, the SNP's plan to hike rates by at least £100 for those in Band E and above would have been the subject of a debate lasting just six minutes, with only one MSP allowed to speak on behalf of each side of the proposition.
"The SNP's stealthy approach to hiking the council tax has been matched by their stealthy approach to getting the changes approved.
"The idea that six minutes would have been enough time for the Parliament to consider the SNP's £100 million local tax raid is ludicrous.
"The vote on Thursday is hugely significant. Local taxation should be for local services – it's as simple as that.
"Having funding in place for education is essential but this national stealth tax is not the way to do it. Scottish Liberal Democrats do not propose to hide away from the responsibility of funding our education. A modest penny on income tax for education would be the progressive way to raise £500 million that would truly transform early education, schools and colleges.


Sorry I am a day or so late with my annual "thanks for a great 2017, and hope everyone has an even better 2018" message. But here it is none the less!
Although we're not selling as many copies of Eschalon as we used to, we still are and we get new players every week. To all our new customers in 2017, thank you for your support and helping to push us through to the next game. And a big thank you to people who have donated to us! We received almost $500 in donations in 2017, and that money goes directly into the production of our next game. It's helped us pay for some additional graphics and sound effects so far.
Speaking of our next game, it is still coming along nicely, but I don't have an announcement date planned yet. I've just started collecting clips to add to a trailer, but there are 2 or 3 key areas that I want to include in the video and those areas haven't even been started yet. It'll be a few more months before I'm there, so we're probably looking at the formal game announcement in late spring. I want the release date to be no more than 6 months out from the game's announcement, so that will be a factor as well.
Finally, thank you to all our regulars who keep stopping by from time to time. I promise to show you some cool stuff in 2018!
Looking forward to that trailer.
Looking forward to everything that comes from The Basilisk!
Happy 2018, Thomas! And all the folks here in the Pub. Been a great many years "knowing" you all and I look forward to more years and new conversations about the new game when we hear more.
Great to hear there is hope to see the new game this year. now I hope to live long enough to play it.
I'v been playing III for a couple of years with different characters, honing skills and having a great time.
94 years and still above the ground.
Love and respect, Cuebramola. I can't wait to get your feedback on our next game.
DAMN!!! You have lived a long life!! Kudos to you!
Ill hold you to that sir.


This web site provides reference material and overviews pertaining to the history, achievements, and activities of the telecommunications community in Canada.
Communications play a large role in all modern societies - they are particularly important to Canada.
Canadian geography, population distribution, and political organization have always required effective communication systems. Canada's population spreads across 6,000 km from sea to sea to sea. Communications are one of the major threads holding this country together.
Canada has excellent communications. Canada has one of the world's highest levels of universal telephone service. Canadian communication systems include satellite communications, national data networks, optical fibre networks, cellular telephony, cable TV, and virtually universal Internet access.
Communications have always played a large role in Canadian affairs and the subject of continuous study and government support. Since the creation of Canada's domestic satellite system, telecommunications has been front and centre in the nation's scientific and industrial policies. In fact, it is the current policy of the Government of Canada to make Canada the most connected country in the world.
Communications and Information Technology are also among Canada's major industries.
Canada has been consistently in the forefront of communications technology. Marconi's first Trans-Atlantic radio transmission was received in Newfoundland. The concept of the telephone was developed by Alexander Graham Bell at his parent's home in Brantford, Ontario. Canada had the world's first commercial telephone system and North America's first mobile telecommunications system. JANET, the first commercial meteor-burst communication system was Canadian. Canada had the Western world's first domestic satellite communications system. Canada had the world's first nation-wide digital data network. Canada has the world's largest contiguous cellular telephone network. Canadians have greater access to cable television service than the people of any other nation.


Steven looks at ASRock's Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1 motherboard. If you're looking for a new board packed with features, take a look.
ASRock is a company focused on bringing performance motherboards to the market, and with the Intel X99 chipset, they have done just that. I previously reviewed many of ASRock's X99 offerings and today I take a look at one of their "second" generation X99 motherboards with some more refined features.
The Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1 carries a really long feature list, including Ultra M.2, Purity Sound 2, XOC socket, and of course USB 3.1 as the model name suggests. This board looks to appease builders who want a gaming centric board with a lot of USB 3.1 connectivity. Follow me as I venture into the world of the Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1.
There are some features that really stick out with ASRock's Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1; 128GB DDR4 memory support with ECC and 12K Nichicon capacitors are two that top the list in terms of uniqueness. Most other X99 motherboards only support 64GB of memory, but ASRock has taken the server approach with their entire X99 lineup, which means that Xeons are fully supported as are the technologies that come with them. While this isn't a server board, many of the features are aimed at workstations, such as the USB DOM connector which is used for very expensive software programs that require a USB drive for authentication.

This stunning little bathroom is right at the front of the Moore house and is mostly just used by Mandy and Taylor's guests. Previously it was quite dark institutional. There wasn't anything special about it so we gave it a full overhaul, brightening it up with all white walls and a sleek built-in sink to bring back some modern lines and add a touch of glamour. Mandy, Emily and I worked with Wayfair to bring this space to life. Everything aside from the marble slab and Fireclay tile we sourced from Wayfair. From the toilet to the towels, and everything in between.
If you've been following along my IG stories, you know I have had my mind on exteriors since we have been working on ours at our #samuelfamilyfixer this week. So while I have been sharing the Mandy Moore project tours here, I couldn't help but jump to her homes' exterior. I sure do miss having this magical place as a job site.
I wasn't involved with the exterior design, other than a few supportive oohs and aahs, so together we can ogle at the work Emily Farnham did with Landscape Architects, Terremoto.
Can you handle these views and that incredible poolside furniture? Here is a bit about the site from Emily.
For the furnishings, Emily noted that she looked to Terremoto's raw aesthetic for inspiration. She selected pieces that had elemental geometry and a sculptural quality and turned to some of her favorites brands, Croft House, James Perse, DWR and Sutherland. Outdoor furniture can easily get clunky and I am always on the look out for pieces that don't scream "hey look at me, I'm outdoor furniture!". Emily nailed it with every single piece. They are sculptural as well as functional and complement the architecture so well.
The most important thing they did (in my opinion) was bring back the original terraced look of the eaves. At some point someone replaced them with flat stucco (shown in the first photo of the series) and I know they hoped that the original was still hidden underneath but on further inspection it was not. Emily worked with the contractors Bronstruction to completely re-build them, replicating the original design.
Stunning transformation don't you think?!
See all of the progress and tours of our Mandy Moore Residential project here.
I've got a new room tour from our Mandy Moore residential project that we have been keeping under wraps until now! Most of the house has a soft color palette, without a lot of high contrast, but we wanted to have some fun in one of the guest bedrooms with this bold graphic look. Stripes on stripes on stripes, with some beautiful natural textures like linen bedding from Parachute and caning on the Modernica headboard, to keep it from looking too stark.
This guest room was done more on the budget friendly side of the spectrum pulling a lot from some of my favorite accessible brands like CB2, Zara Home, and Cedar & Moss. The CB2 nightstand and sconce combo is one hot pairing and the Blockshop prints were a late addition to the design but were the perfect fit.
Dark floors and dark curtains were absorbing all that light. We used Farrow & Ball's "All White" for all the interior paint and the light terrazzo floors certainly help brighten up the space.
To see all the tours and progress of the Moore Residence project, so far, check here.
This room… I want to spend all my days in this serene, ethereal space. An extension of the "formal" living room in our Moore Residential project is the formal dining room. In the last post I talked about the original fireplace and how we had it restored to show the original copper finish and now we get an even better look the beauty. It is the showpiece of the living room and dining room along with that brilliant built-in planter that further blurs the line between the outdoors and indoors, like the brickwork I mentioned in the living room post as well.
We all instantly fell in love with the idea of a burl wood dining table so the search was on and when AllModern got involved we found the perfect one. The chairs, also from AllModern, are a gorgeous ivory complement.
The color palette came together rather magically for this space. We had the burl dining table, the chandelier, and the fabric for the blush drapery all chosen as we started to look for art. My friend Lou Mora later sent me an email with a line sheet of his latest pieces, that would soon be available for purchase, and I couldn't show Mandy fast enough. The colors, the mountains, the dreamy layers, we were all sold right away. We had him print a custom extra large version of the artwork and once on the wall, it tied the colors of the space together just right.

The living room and dining room in our Moore Residence project was thankfully relatively spared of from from the 90's renovation. The original brickwork and copper fireplace remained in tact. The copper hood needed to be refinished and the brick planter needed restoration, but the space still had all the wonderful features from the original architect, Harold b Zook. One of the favorites of Emily and I was how the brick walls play with the relationship of the indoor and outdoor spaces. They intersect the floor to ceiling windows as they continue from the exterior into the interior which carries your eye through, blurring the line between the two.
When it came to furnishing these spaces I wanted to keep that exterior view and the architecture the star of the show while still matching its' unique qualities. I looked for pieces that were low profile, sculptural, and modern but still warm. We worked with AllModern to completely furnish this room! That is right, everything you see in this space, aside from the piano and the custom drapery, you can find AllModern. It was such a fun challenge to source everything from one place while still giving it my artful, modern, and unique touch, but I think we more than pulled it off. I actually thought of that sofa when I first saw the room and begged Mandy to put it there. It was made for that little nook and I was thrilled to find out AllModern carried it.
Mandy and Taylor only had a few requirements for this room. They wanted it to have a piano and a place to play records. Done and done. I've found that so many people who have a more formal living room hardly use the space but I've loved seeing how they are able to enjoy this room through Mandy's IG stories while Taylor plays the piano. On our few install days and while we were shooting the space, he would often sneak off to the room and his music would fill the house, it was pretty magical and definitely not your everyday interiors shoot!
