Shortcuts: Solar Panel Kits | Running on Solar vs. Charging with Solar | What are Photovoltaics?
Solar Panel Kits
For those interested in making electricity from the sun, but don’t know where to start: there are a number of solar kits available that includes everything you need, including solar panels of varying sizes, battery packs, charging cables, and sometimes even things like power inverters and LED lights.
Because the amount of power that can be generated by a solar panel is partially dependent upon the size of the solar panel, consumers will find that larger panels and larger batteries cost more money. The smallest capacity batteries, suitable for small mobile devices, can be found for around $20. Meanwhile, the highest capacity batteries can be upwards of $1500 or more. These high capacity kits, such as the Goal Zero Yeti 1400, are well-suited to keeping larger devices and refrigerators running during power outages.
Similarly, a small solar panel for smaller capacity batteries or mobile devices will start at around $50 – such as the Suaoki 25W solar panel charger, which is packable and provides plenty of power for charging your smartphone while out hiking.
Higher capacity (and much larger surface area) panels well into the $300-$500 range. Although technology in the field continues to allow for smaller panels and batteries with increased efficiency, even the most efficient solar panels will be less than 50% efficient regarding the amount of power produced, and the most efficient batteries will still hold a only limited amount of charge before becoming too heavy and too costly to fit the term “portable”.
The amount of time required to charge a portable generator battery will vary greatly between different brands. This number is fully dependent on several variables, including the efficiency and size of the solar panels and the size of the batteries. A consumer’s best bet when purchasing a portable solar powered generator is to try to match the solar panel size with the generator battery size, using the makers’ guided instructions.
Many companies selling portable solar powered generators will sell a variety of solar panels and generator batteries. These can range from small, pocket-sized batteries and panels that can fold up easily into a backpack, to much larger and heavier batteries that weigh over 30 lbs., with panels that can weigh over 20 lbs. The larger the capacity, the less “portable” some of these kits will be, making many of them equivalent to a fuel-powered generator regarding weight.
However, portable solar powered generators are beginning to compete with fuel-based generators in some applications. A high capacity generator kit can come with photovoltaic solar panels with a 90W rating, and generator batteries with a 12000Wh rating. This is enough battery power to run a 16 cubic foot refrigerator for a whole day, perfect for the occasional and unexpected power outage. As with fuel-based portable generators, the higher the capacity of the unit, the more it will cost.
Consumers should be aware that a solar powered generator would need to be charged well ahead of time in order to function with higher capacity devices. While some higher-end, higher-capacity solar panels can run a device on their wattage alone, most devices cannot. Even a high-capacity panel, such as a 90W panel, could take anywhere between 30-50 hours to charge a 1200Wh generator battery. As such, portable solar powered generators will provide the cheapest, quietest emergency power generation, but are best utilized in over smaller periods of time, and with much forethought.
Running on Solar vs. Charging with Solar
Functionally, solar powered generators operate as one large battery. While fuel-powered portable generators operate with some form of engine, producing power continually (as long the fuel source does not run out), solar powered generators convert sunlight into usable electricity, which is then stored in the portable generator’s batteries. A solar powered generator can be used to power anything from a cell phone to a refrigerator. What you can practically provide power for will depend on both the size of the battery and the size of the generator battery.
Those interested in purchasing a solar powered generator should first and foremost be aware of the time required to charge the generator battery. Although some generators can still charge via photovoltaic solar panels under cloudy conditions, the charge time for a small generator battery (around 11-12Wh) with a small solar panel (around 7W) could be around 4-5 hours with good light conditions.
Solar panels are measured in how many watts they are able to continuously produce as they absorb sunlight. A small solar panel measured in 7 watts means that the panel will produce 7 watts of power for each hour of peak sunlight. This is generally enough wattage to charge a cell phone or other small mobile device, but not enough to charge a device that requires more power.
In order to charge a device with a battery, the solar panels must produce more continuous energy than the device uses. This is simple enough if the device is off. However, if the device is running, the amount of continuous wattage required will go up. For comparison, a typical iPhone charger will produce 5 watts of power. This is enough to charge an iPhone while it is running. However, a typical iPad charger produces 12 watts. If a consumer is attempting to charge a device directly from a small sized, small capacity solar panel, the results will be underwhelming, to say the least.
The larger the solar panel capacity, the larger the solar panels will be. Likewise, the larger the portable generator batteries, the longer it will take to charge the batteries. This is also why larger portable generator batteries require larger solar panels with a higher wattage. The batteries will begin to lose their charge very slowly, even with nothing plugged into them. If the solar panel produces too little wattage, it simply will not charge the battery. Alternatively, if the solar panels produce too much wattage (something that cannot be controlled by any means other than covering up part of the panels), then the generator batteries will not be able to handle the amount of incoming electrical current.
What are Photovoltaics (PV)?
In modern times, there are two primary ways in which solar energy is utilized to create electrical power: photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP).
Photovoltaics are the primary source of solar electric power generation in the world, accounting for 1% of total (from all sources) worldwide power generation, which works out to be nearly 200 gigawatts of power. Since the discovery of the photovoltaic effect, many different materials have been discovered that produce electrical current directly from the sun’s rays.
How do Photovoltaic Cells Make Electricity?
Plainly speaking, the sun bathes the Earth (and everything around it) in endless waves of photons. While these photons are, for the most part, harmless purveyors bringing us light and heat, they can also interact with different materials, causing the electrons in those materials to become more active and produce energy in the form of electrical current.
Unlike concentrated solar power, which requires the heat energy of the sun to create chemical reactions (primarily steam), photovoltaics are able to create electrical power directly, no moving parts required. This is why photovoltaics account for a much larger share of solar energy production, and why photovoltaics are behind only wind and water for renewable energy sources.
The popularity of photovoltaics is in their light weight, portability, foldability, and increasingly lower cost. However, the largest concern and current focus for photovoltaic solar cells is in their efficiency. A solar cell’s efficiency is measured in how much sunlight can be converted into usable energy – without losing energy before conversion to direct electrical current (DC) and further conversion from direct current to usable alternating current (AC). While the most efficient solar panels created are just over 40% efficient, these higher efficiencies are not necessarily the most useful for consumers. Indeed, the higher efficiency panels are currently much more expensive, making them less desirable for consumer purposes. The balance between efficiency and cost exists somewhere between conversion rates of 12-20%.
Solar powered generators will always run using photovoltaic solar cells with varying efficiencies. Because the technology for these types of generators is still fairly new, their power output tends to be much smaller. Likewise, a solar powered generator will take much more time to produce power than a generator running off of a combustible fuel, such as gasoline, diesel or propane. However, a solar-based system will have distinct advantages over those powered with combustible fuels.

The only input you need is the standard consumption of an electrical network (Watts) when not charging accumulators, henceforth referred to as P.
For a perfectly optimal network, you need:
23.8*P / MW solar panels (or 23800*P / GW)
20*P / MW accumulators (or 20000*P / GW)
This will generate and store exactly the amount of power needed by an electrical network for every day. The accumulators will completely empty at exactly the time that the solar panels are able to run the network on their own. For the math, check below.
Edit: Thanks to Khyron for catching some of my mistakes. This should all be correct now and usable for most electrical networks, though I'd recommend using the equation I posted later on this page if you really want to be perfectly accurate.


6 most important NAC Solution considerations.
Network access control (NAC) is a security solution that is used to control which devices are allowed to access a network, and to enforce security policies on those devices. NAC works by requiring devices that want to access the network to first go through a process called “authentication,” in which their identity and security posture are verified. Once a device has been authenticated, it is granted access to the network and is subject to any security policies that have been set up.
There are several architectural considerations to keep in mind when implementing a NAC solution. Some questions you might want to consider include:
- How will devices be authenticated? Will you use a RADIUS server, certificate-based authentication, or some other method?
- How will you enforce security policies on devices that are granted access to the network? Will you use a policy server, an agent on each device, or some other method?
- How will you handle devices that do not meet your security standards? Will you quarantine them, block them, or allow them access but with limited privileges?
- How will you handle devices that are removed from the network, such as when an employee leaves your organization? Will you automatically remove their access, or will you have a process in place to manually remove their access?
- How will you handle devices that are added to the network, such as when a new employee joins your organization? Will you have a process in place to manually grant them access, or will you automate the process using tools like Active Directory or LDAP?
- How will you handle devices that are already on the network when you implement NAC? Will you require all devices to go through the authentication process, or will you allow some devices to “bypass” NAC and be granted access automatically?
These are just a few of the many architectural considerations that you might want to think about when implementing a NAC solution. It’s important to carefully consider your specific needs and requirements in order to choose a NAC solution that will work well for your organization.

Washington, DC - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a Bulletin to all nuclear power plant licensees requesting information about their electric power system designs and alerting them to a potential design vulnerability that could affect the operation of key safety equipment.
On Jan. 30, Byron Station, Unit 2, shut down automatically due to unbalanced voltage entering the onsite power distribution system from the transmission network. The plant’s electric power system’s protection scheme was not designed to sense the loss of one of three power phases and automatically trip circuits to isolate the degraded outside power source and switch to emergency backup power. Plant operators diagnosed the problem eight minutes later and manually tripped the necessary circuits.
The degraded offsite power source potentially could have damaged the plant’s emergency core cooling system. NRC regulations and plant technical specifications require reliable off-site and onsite power systems with sufficient capacity and capability to operate safety-related systems. Therefore, the NRC staff is seeking information to verify compliance with existing regulations and plant-specific licensing bases. The staff will use the information it receives to inform the Commission and determine if further regulatory action is needed.
The NRC issued Information Notice 2012-03 on March 1 to inform licensees of recent experience involving loss of one of three phases of the offsite power circuit, including the Byron event. The current Bulletin requests licensees to provide information on their electric system designs within 90 days. It applies to the 104 currently operating commercial power reactors and the four combined licenses for new reactors issued earlier this year. It does not apply to licensees who have permanently ceased operation and certified that the fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel.

Yesterday Tendril and Vivint, formerly APX Alarm, announced a partnership to connect Vivint Go!Control home devices with Tendrilâ€™s home energy management technology.Â The partnership is designed to give customers with a home security system the added ability to learn more about their energy use and control energy consumption.
The standard Vivint security system runs $49.99 per month and comes with the in-home display, 3 door and window sensors, a motion detector, key fob, and yard sign.Â I have family with the security system, and itâ€™s a nice modern setup.
With energy management, the security system price jumps to $57.99 and includes the ability control lights and small appliances with light and lamp modules.Â This package also includes a smart thermostat to control the temperature from a smart-phone or computer.
The Tendril partnership will strengthen Vivintâ€™s energy management service with actionable information and recommendations.Â The Tendril Energize web portal will be available to Vivint customers later this year.Â Tendril Connect will be integrated with next-gen Go!Control panels starting in 2012.
Of 170,000 new Vivint customers, approximately 70,000 use the energy management service, according to Martin LaMonica of CNET.
Perhaps the future will bring one affordable in-home display to control all home functions â€“ temperature, security, lighting, appliances, and water â€“ but for now, the combination of home security with energy monitoring and device control makes sense.


Using multi-device on 1 account will lead your subscription (line) to be blocked by which the stream will stop playing. However, if customers want to use the service on different devices, they have to disconnect the first device and then use another device. For simultaneous streaming, customers can purchase different accounts or simple purchase extra connections for a specific line up to 5 connections and enjoy watching IPTV on multiple devices using a single IPTV subscription.
Take advantage of your IPTV subscription by purchasing extra connections for your line to enjoy watching the channels on all of your computers and devices,

Mechanical Solutions was selected to design/install the HVAC systems for World Wide Technology’s new headquarters building in St. Louis, MO.
The new building consists of seven floors, with more than 200,000-square feet of traditional commercial office and support space. We worked directly with the owner and design team to determine the best HVAC solution, balancing initial costs, maintenance costs, system redundancy/reliability, energy efficiency and performance throughout the building’s life-cycle. The heart of the HVAC system consists of six gas-fired rooftop units serving more than two-hundred and thirty zones through a common/loped duct distribution system. Furnished and installed twenty-two variable air volume units with SCR electric reheat, five fan powered terminal units with SCR electric heat, one DX fan coil unit, one indoor split system with associated condensing unit to serve the IT closets on each floor, two stairwell pressurization fans, two variable frequency drives, one elevator shaft pressurization fan, one variable frequency drive for elevator pressurization, one general exhaust fan, one air curtain with electric heat, fifty-five fire dampers with ductwork access doors, twenty-eight manual volume dampers, three motorized dampers, seven electric unit heaters, twenty-one sections of baseboard heaters, one electric cabinet unit heater, one hundred fifty-one air devices and galvanized ductwork for supply, return, and exhaust systems. The advanced building automation system offers redundant controllers and sensors for all critical applications, to ensure consistent and reliable system performance. Intermingled DX split systems offer redundant cooling sources for all critical IT and electrical spaces.


An office building of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Freiburg was retrofitted in 2012 with an innovative concept based on technology integration in the façade. Prefabricated window modules integrating air inlets and outlets, façade integrated air ducts and a heat and moisture recovery ventilation device were implemented. A long term monitoring was set up including energy, temperature, CO2 and humidity measurements. The results of this monitoring and an analysis of the system are presented, focussing on the influence of façade integrated air ducts on the energy performance of the whole system and on the thermal comfort.
A specific definition of the global energy efficiency of façade integrated ventilation systems is proposed and used to evaluate the performance of the system.
On the basis of the monitoring results, a simulation model could be defined and used to optimize the integration concept by testing different geometries and materials. The last developments of the integration system are presented such as the next step of this work: the implementation of the system on the façade of a multifamily home in Frankfurt.


Eating disorders and anxiety in middle school: A yoga and mindfulness-based primary prevention program
Olka, Emily Keddie
MetadataShow full item record
The present study will investigate the efficacy of G irls Growing in Wellness and Balance, a 12-session school-based program for fifth grade girls, in preventing eating disorders and anxiety. Both eating disorders and anxiety are significant mental health problems that have potentially devastating effects for those individuals who experience them. Eating disorders, while less prevalent than anxiety disorders, have direct effects on physical as well as mental health, and cause disruptions across multiple areas of functioning. Primarily affecting females, eating disorders remain difficult to treat, and are notoriously chronic and prone to relapse. Anxiety, on the other hand, affects many more individuals but can also have negative effects in multiple spheres of functioning. Developing largely during childhood, the trajectory of anxiety can become increasingly complicated through adolescence and into adulthood. Further, these disorders frequently co-occur, making early prevention addressing both issues an important aim of further knowledge. This study emphasizes decreasing risk factors and bolstering protective factors in a constructivist, positive psychology framework. It was hypothesized that participation in Girls' Group would decrease symptoms related to drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction, decrease disordered eating behaviors, and various symptoms of anxiety, significantly more than a control group. Results indicate that consistent with prior research, the revised version of the program was effective in reducing drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction, but not in eating disorder symptoms. There was not a significant effect on any forms of childhood anxiety. Possible reasons for these findings as well as directions for future research on prevention of co-occurring eating disorders and anxiety are discussed.


Timothy Tolliver and his friend Arnie Rosenberg have a problem -- a gang of older bullies called the Stinks. But besides being a fourth-grader, Timothy is also a world-class inventor. He and Arnie get the bright idea of defending themselves with Timothy's science-project robot.
When their first try fails, Timothy finds a way to update the mystical formulas that gave life to the Jewish clay monster, the Golem. The robot comes alive, and it looks like their worries are over -- till the robot stops following orders and takes matters into its own hands.
Can Timothy bring his creation back under control? Find out, as the Golem legend replays in a modern American elementary school.
Aaron Shepard is the award-winning author of "The Baker's Dozen," "The Sea King's Daughter," "The Monkey King," and many more children's books. His stories have appeared often in Cricket magazine, while his Web site is known internationally as a prime resource for folktales, storytelling, and reader's theater. Once a professional storyteller, Aaron specializes in lively retellings of folktales and other traditional literature, which have won him honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society.
"Many children will be intrigued by a mechanical figure that comes to life." -- School Library Journal, June 2005
Arnie walked all around the robot, admiring it. "You know what this reminds me of? The Golem."
"The Golem?" said Timothy. "What's that?"
"It's from an old legend we heard in Hebrew school. A few hundred years ago, a lot of Jews in Europe were getting killed by mobs, all because of some stupid rumors started by their enemies. This one rabbi wanted to protect the Jews of his city, so he made a man of clay and brought it to life. It was so strong, nothing could stand against it. They called it the Golem."
"Kind of like Frankenstein?" said Timothy.
"Yeah, but the Golem came first, and that was probably where the idea for Frankenstein came from." Arnie grinned. "Wouldn't it be cool if this robot could protect us from the Stinks, like the Golem protected the Jews?"
Timothy grinned too. Then they both stopped grinning and looked at each other.
"You don't think . . . ." started Arnie.
"I don't know," said Timothy. "I don't see why not."


Joan Balcells, Ana Sofía Cardenal
The influence of the Internet on voting behaviour: tracking ERC’s massive vote loss in the 2010 Catalan Elections
(A former version of this seminar was presented as a communication at the 6th ECPR General Conference as The Internet’s Double Edge: Increasing Mobilisation and Fragmentation in the Catalan Pro-Independence Movement .)
Data from the Catalan elections in 2006 and 2010 show that there was an important shift of voters from the main Catalan political parties towards (a) other minor/new parties, (b) Convergència i Unió (CiU, the right wing nationalist party) and (b) abstention, with minor shifts from major parties towards other major parties (e.g. PSC towards PP).
Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC, the main Catalan left-wing nationalist pro-independence party) is the one that loses more voters, losing them in benefit of many other parties: other nationalist parties, other left-wing parties, ERC spin-offs, and abstention.
What is the role of the Internet in this vote drain? General hypotheses:
- Normalization hypothesis: the Internet is yet another communication media, where big parties have more resources and, thus, benefit more from the Internet.
- Equalization hypothesis: the Internet is a different communication media and, thus, provides new opportunities to those who know how to manage the Internet to reach out.
Web analytics (Alexa) show that small parties did have lots of visits on their websites. Indeed, Solidaritat Catalana (one of ERC’s spin-offs) had more visits than ERC, and ERC had more than CiU. In many cases within small parties, only the website would provide full information about their policy proposals, implying that people would often visit the website to get what was behind a simple message (unlike major parties, whose messages were given fully by traditional media).
- Exposure to political information online will reduce the likelihood of voting again for ERC.
- Greater exposure to political information online will have no effect on probability of abstaining.
- Greater exposure to political information online will increase the likelihood of voting for small and fringe parties, while offline exposure to political information will increase the probability of voting for large parties (equalization vs. normalization).
Dependent variable: vote 2010. Independent variables: media environment (online and offline exposure), acceptance/resistance of new political messages (political interest and party identification), controls (support for independence, age).
It does not seem that exposure to political information online reduced the likelihood of voting again for ERC, while greater exposure to political information online didn’t seem to have an effect on the probability of abstaining.
On the other hand, online exposure significantly increased the odds of voting for Solidaritat Catalana, as did identifying oneself with ERC and stating support for independence. That is, former self-identified ERC-voters with high online exposure were more likely to vote for Solidaritat Catalana. Indeed, the more the online exposure, the higher the likelihood of vote drain from ERC to Solidaritat Catalana. Thus, the Internet will be playing an equalizer role.
- Online exposure plays no role in the probability of voting again for ERC.
- Being exposed to online political information has no significant effect on the probability of abstaining.
- Being exposed to offline political information does not increase the probability of voting for CiU.
- Being exposed to online political information increases the probability of voting for Solidaritat Catalana.

Prolific writer Sri Chinmoy once said:
“There is a vast difference between what you can get from the mind and what you can get from the heart. The mind is limited; the heart is unlimited.”
10 steps towards writing from the heart:
- Meditate regularly every day, at least for 5 minutes first thing in the morning, and again before you write. Simply focus your attention on your spiritual heart in the centre of your chest. If you like you can try to listen to your own heartbeat, or imagine that you have become the heart itself. If any thoughts enter the mind, just return your attention to the heart.
- Keep an area pure and clean in which to meditate. It’s a good idea to have a bath or shower first, and to keep the room well aired. You can bring in fragrances such as incense, something from nature that inspires you such as a fresh flower, and perhaps a picture of something meaningful to you. Keep a separate area for writing, and introduce similar sources of purity and inspiration there.
- Writing is not just something that happens while you are typing or putting pen to paper. Writing from the heart means being constantly aware of one’s surroundings. This is what Buddhists call “mindfulness”. It will not only bring you a fuller experience of life, but also lead to deeper and more authentic writing. Get into the habit of simply observing the world – people, nature, each of your own senses, and your own feelings.
- When you are used to observing your surroundings, you will naturally start to accept things as they are. You may see the same scenes day in and day out. The mind may tire of them, but if you observe from the heart, you will find new beauty and inspiration.
- Observation and acceptance naturally engender love, gratitude and joy. These are invaluable keys to meaningful writing. Conveying these experiences through words will help others to see beauty and inspiration in their own lives.
- Protect that effort you have made to see and feel things in a positive way. Unconstructive criticism, anger, and jealousy can thwart our inspiration and prevent us writing from the heart, whether they come from ourselves or from other people. Try to avoid encountering these negative forces. If you cannot avoid them, try not to pay attention to them.
- When you are in the habit of observing your surroundings, allow words to come to you, even without the intention of writing them down. When words are not written down, they have more freedom. Practise describing to yourself the things you see.
- Carry a notebook with you everywhere. Only when a sequence of words comes to you and thrills your heart, write it down, and let more words grow around it.
- Do not let the mind plan a finished product. Let the writing blossom and become what it wants to be. That way it will have its own authenticity and integrity, and the result will be more valuable.
- Trust the creative process that comes from the heart, but also use the mind to polish and revise your writing. Sometimes that which comes from the heart can benefit from a little clarification.

Every week seems to bring a new report on how harmful added sugar is to our health, but how many of us can claim to have eliminated literally tons of sugar from kids’ diets? Meet Miguel Villarreal, head of school food service for Novato Unified School District, about 30 miles north of San Francisco.
Villarreal was hired by NUSD in 2002; learning that 35% of their students were deemed overweight based on the California Healthy Kids Survey, he knew he had to take immediate action to address this problem.
He decided the best approach was to get rid of processed food and beverages that were high in sugar. Sodas were still being sold in the middle and high schools in 2002, so he told the NUSD Chief Financial Officer that we would be removing them, knowing this would end a $70,000 revenue stream.
His plan was to increase breakfast participation to help make up for the lost soda revenue. By making breakfast part of the school day, he was able to get over 1,400 NUSD students a day to eat breakfast, where previously only 200 had done so. The extra revenue more than made up for the loss of soda money.
Next, Villarreal phased out high sugar foods like pastries, cookies and cereals, and in 2006 he eliminated flavored milk in all elementary schools, and eventually from all NUSD schools. After hearing Dr. Robert Lustig of UCSF speak on the toxicities of refined sugars, he eliminated all juice products served with meals (a limited number of 100% juices are available a la-carte at the middle and high schools.)
To date, he estimates that he has eliminated a total of 400 pounds of sugar per day from the NUSD school meal program, the equivalent of 36 tons of sugar, every year since 2006.
There’s no doubt that Miguel Villarreal is one of the most forward-thinking school food leaders in the country. He spoke with me recently about what makes a school meal program successful, how to get high school students to eat in the cafeteria, why he does not support the School Nutrition Association’s lobbying Congress to roll back new healthy school food regulations, and his belief that the job of Director of School Food Service should be changed to Director of Wellness.
Q. – How should a community evaluate the success of their school meal program?
A. – In the end, a successful school food service program is one that meets the financial and wellness goals of the school district.
Success is not necessarily measured by the number of students eating, nor by the healthiness of the food, if the kids are not eating it. Schools with lots of students eating may still be serving highly processed “kid” friendly meals. Is this more “successful” than a school district that is attempting to promote healthier, less processed food?
Case in point: Hot dogs used to be one of most popular menu items served in our elementary schools, and we always had high student participation, but hot dogs are very highly processed and are not a healthful food. On the other hand, a teriyaki rice bowl with brown rice , chicken and fresh vegetables would not be as popular, but would be much healthier for the students.
I do not subscribe to the theory that having students eat highly processed food is better than not having anything to eat. School food service programs must figure out how to overcome this way of thinking if they are going be part of the wellness solution.
Q. – How can schools promote healthier food so that the students will eat it happily?
A. – It takes much more effort to teach the students to eat healthier food. Taste samplings must be conducted routinely, and parents and classroom teachers must be in engaged in this process. We call our student taste samplings “Café Wellness Days” (CWD). We involve students, teachers and parents, and create excitement about healthful entrees when we hold CWD. We also take simple surveys during the CWD to evaluate the success of the food we are sampling.
Healthful entrees that are introduced at school sites without CWD have a lower rate of student acceptance. The best example of that was the Three Bean Salad. It was very popular at the school where we sampled it and had collaboration with the teachers; kids were asking for seconds. When we rolled this out to the rest of the schools, it was a flop.
Q. – About 90% of schools that serve lunch also serve breakfast, but nationwide only about half as many students eat breakfast as eat lunch, and often that number is much lower (in SF it is about 25%.) What is the best way to get more kids eating school breakfast?
A. – Breakfast programs that are part of the school day have proven to be the most successful; traditional breakfast periods before the beginning of the school day usually have the lowest student participation. It takes more effort, creativity and financial support from grants and other resources to serve breakfast during the school day, but thousands of schools have managed to do this successfully.
In Novato, breakfast is served at morning recess at our elementary and middle schools. One of our high schools serves breakfast before school and during recess; the other HS only serves during recess.
In 2003, when we served breakfast before school, only about 50 of our K-5th grade students ate the meal. As soon as we switched to serving breakfast at morning recess (between 9-9:45 am), on average 900-1000 K-5 students began eating, and that number has remained constant.
Our breakfast, which must be easy to eat in less than 10 minutes, varies from simple pre-packaged food items like cereals, muffins, bagels, and pancakes, to items we assemble, like parfaits, Sunbutter sandwiches, egg sandwiches and burritos, all served with fruit and milk.
Running a successful breakfast program requires support from all stakeholders, from the Superintendent, School Board, and teachers, to the custodians, office staff, and school food service staff, and including parents and community health allies.
Q. – The number of students who eat school lunch typically drops from elementary school to middle school, and then drops again at high school. What can schools do to keep high school kids eating in the cafeteria?
A. – The number one thing a high school can do to increase student participation is to close the campus. School administrators must then make plans to ensure a greater number of students can be served during lunch. It may mean building new facilities with equipment for cooking a variety of meals, improving the area where students eat, adding more serving carts and consequently more staff, splitting lunch periods, increasing the time given to students or a combination of any of these strategies.
HS students must be treated like adult consumers. Engaging them in making decisions about the meals they are served, and their environment, is also beneficial. Next school year, we plan to have every Freshman through Senior tour the HS kitchen. This tour will be led by select HS students, who will be provided with a script to engage their classmates in peer to peer education.
I’m convinced that many HS students do not eat school meals because they are unaware of the details of our food service program, including where and how their meals are prepared, and why we take added measures to provide healthful meals.
Q. – You are a supporter of “Meatless Monday.” Tell me about that.
A. – In 2008, I told our Superintendent that we would no longer serve red meat. I made that decision right after yet another beef recall, my 8th as a school food service director in a time span of 20 years! Officials called that one (at the Westland/ Hallmark Meat Packing Company in Chino, California) the largest beef recall in US history.
We did not have mass student walk outs or parents complaining because we were not serving industrialized beef to their children. Today, we also promote Meatless Monday. Meatless burritos are popular with our elementary students, while the older students love our veggie sandwich.
The Meatless Monday campaign has allowed us to educate our students on the health benefits of eating more plant based meals and the impact on the environment. Students have learned that it takes approximately 2000 gallons of water for every one pound of beef. That is huge deal in a drought stricken state like California.
Q. – The School Nutrition Association has been lobbying Congress to waive some of the landmark changes to school meals required by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, including requirements for more whole grains, for students to take a fruit or vegetable with their school lunch, new sodium limits, and the “Smart Snacks in Schools” rules to improve the food sold outside of the federal meal program. What do you think of the SNA position on this?
A. – I’ve been an SNA member since the early 1990s, and I do not agree with SNA that we should be lobbying Congress to waive the landmark changes; instead, SNA should be promoting the many school food service programs that have implemented the standards successfully. We cannot afford to slow down at this point. We know exactly what is contributing to the chronic illness epidemic and we need to do everything in our power to address the problem.
Involving collaborative partners and educating everyone about the school food service program is essential for success.
Many schools that have been rolling out the higher USDA standards over several years are not struggling with the new regulations. Schools that are just now starting to implement them are the ones that are struggling. In time, these schools will also experience success with their programs.
SNA and our own California School Nutrition Association should have been doing so much more all along to help school districts that are experiencing problems meeting the new HHFKA standards, rather than requesting waivers from Congress.
We have allowed ourselves to be led and influenced by the interests of food manufactures for too long!
Q. – What one piece of advice do you have for school districts about how they could better serve their students?
A. – We need to redefine the role of the traditional Director of Food Services to that of the Director of Wellness. The current food service director positions are primarily responsible for operations; extremely important, but it is difficult to change the overall culture of wellness of a school district or community just by improving school food. Students, parents, school staff and the community at large must embrace wellness as a comprehensive approach.
The Director of Wellness would be responsible for overseeing and helping coordinate all food, nutrition and wellness programs in the schools and community. Helping to connect the 3 C’s – Cafeteria, Classroom and Community – through coalition building with all vested individuals and organizations, as discussed in the book Food Justice by Robert Gottlieb and Anapuma Joshi.
The Director of Wellness would collaborate with numerous allied organizations in their communities, county, city and around the state, and serve as committee, advisory or board member for many of those same organizations, ensuring that the school food service program served as a hub for wellness both in schools and in the community. The Director of Wellness should also sit on the school district’s Cabinet and work closely with all internal educational departments.
If we want to see real, sustainable improvements in our children’s health, wellness and academic achievement, then it’s time for a major shift in how we view school food service programs. Sustainable change works when inside and outside forces come together for a common good.

The build up to the Phoney War started on 3rd September 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany, after the Germans had invaded Poland. In the summer of 1939, the British Government moved to safer areas. Extensive preparations had been made and the country was divided into three areas. London and the cities (the places at greatest risk from bombing) were the evacuation areas.
A second category called neutral areas, which meant people were not allowed to move into, or depart from. Thirdly, there were the reception areas, where evacuees would be located.
Britain had been preparing for heavy bombing, which many thought would come as soon as the war commenced. No longer were planes used mainly for reconnaissance or for dropping bombs by hand.
By the late 1930s the leading nations had developed armed air forces. The German Luftwaffe became large and equipped with some of the most up-to-date aircraft in the world.
Thus Britain prepared, trenches became dug in major cities, gas masks distributed, Anderson shelters erected, plans made for rationing and voluntary service organised. Both the AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) and ARP (Air Raid Precautions) had become formed prior to war. The Government rightly believed would involve not only the Armed Forces, but also the civilian population.
Declaration of war
With the declaration of war, Britain prepared for the inevitable bombing of the cities. The Government estimated that some 600,000 civilians would be killed and a quarter of a million would be wounded in the fist two months.
The WVS (Women’s Voluntary Service) had become formed to provide support in the event of war. They were to make and distribute clothes and blankets to refugees and provide linen and bandages for hospitals. It had become expected that the war would last about three years.
In early September these plans became put into action. Within three days of the declaration of war, 1.5 million people had left the big cities. Whole schools became despatched with their teachers. A new word came into common use – evacuee.
Gas masks issued to everybody and ARP wardens had become made responsible for ensuring that people used them properly and carried them at all times. Strangely enough the wearing of them was not compulsory.
Waiting during the Phoney War
In spite of all the preparations very little happened. People began to drift back to their homes. There had become a public reaction against the defence forces. They appeared to be imposing unnecessary regulations when there was no danger. Britain at this time lacked real leadership. A lack of military action led to this period earning the nickname of ‘The Phoney War’.
However, it was not only on the Home Front that little seemed to be happening. In September 1939 the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) had despatched across the expected German attack. This did not happen and troops spent most of their time on sentry duty.
1940 saw the coldest January and February for 45 years, and the Thames froze over a distance of eight miles. This only added to the misery of people now subject to regulations and restrictions.
Only at sea was there a real war with the Battle of Atlantic. The German battleship KMS Admiral Graf Spee became scuttled by the Kriegsmarine on the River Plate. In April 1940 the Allies mined Norwegian waters. This led Hitler to invade Denmark, ‘The Phoney War’ was over.


It’s easy to see why people binge on horror films or line up for a heart-stopping, rapid-drop amusement-park ride. Turning the scenes of inhuman acts of the past into tourist opportunities is a little less easy to get behind. But it’s undeniable that prisons, castles, dungeons, and even concentration camps can fascinate people as they struggle to understand humanity’s dark side.
Just as horror-film aficionados thrill to a gory scene, the admirers of such places seek out the spine-chilling stories that are hidden within old, weary walls. Castles are at the top of the list.
One of the most frightening places to visit in Europe, Chillingham Castle in England, is a home of disturbing medieval-era history. Situated in the village of Chillingham in the northern part of Northumberland, the castle has existed for almost eight centuries. Over time, it has gone through numerous sieges and hosted many kings, including Henry III in 1255 and Edward I in 1298, as well as Edward, Prince of Wales in 1872, and even members of the present royal family.
Chillingham Castle’s location on the English-Scottish border is pivotal to its history, since there were tensions and outbreaks of war between the two countries in the medieval period. The ruthless Edward I, known as “the Hammer of the Scots,” used Chillingham as a base of his operation when waging war on the Scots, who were led by “Braveheart” William Wallace for a time. The castle was also vulnerable to the Scottish forces coming south to attack. It was in the middle of the action and much of the action was not pleasant.
Today, of course, such tensions have completely dissolved. The English castle is hosting an exhibit of “six very collectible” Scottish artist in August 2017.
It was a starkly different story in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Visitors learn that the castle witnessed numerous tortures and deaths, such atrocities forming the identity of Chillingham. One the most frightening places in the castle is the torture chamber. Warriors, spies, soldiers, and various criminals were allegedly tortured. The victims were first put in the torture chamber, a place so dark that almost nothing around is visible, then they would be put on a spiked chair by force without any previous awareness of it. Once seated, the victim was held in the chair by two guards. Other torture devices that can be seen today include the hanging cage, the impalement device, an Iron Maiden, a bed of nails, thumb screws, branding irons, and the rack.
When on the rack, the victims’ hands and ankles were tightly fastened so they couldn’t move. Ankles were tightened on the so-called “roller,” which was continuously rotated as the victim was interrogated. When the rotation intensified, the victim’s joints were literally torn off, causing excruciating physical pain. Some of the castle’s records reportedly reveal some 7,500 Scottish casualties, including women, children, and men who were killed in the Chillingham’s dungeons.
One of the visitors of the castle recently wrote that when visiting the executioner’s room, he was finally awakened from his “Wi-Fi induced coma,” as he was stunned by the instruments of death and torture. What a compliment to the castle!
It’s no surprise that Chillingham Castle is regarded as one of the most haunted places in Britain. If one looks closely in the dungeons, centuries-old scratches can be seen on the wall where prisoners desperately marked their days. It is believed that the tortured spirits still wander, demented by their experienced horrors.
According to the ghost stories and legends collected by Richard Jones, author of the book Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland, the most popular is the “Radiant Boy” or the “Blue Boy,” who is said to be often seen in the so-called Pink Room of the castle. At midnight, his child-like cries of fear and pain can be heard through the halls. According to the legend, as the cries fade away, a bright halo and a figure of a young boy in blue clothes appear before the eyes of the unfortunate.
Visitors have said they witnessed a flashing blue light coming out of the walls at night. Although some ascribe this to an electrical defect, others say that there was no electrical wiring in the parts where the light was seen.
Regardless of the legitimacy of the ghost tales, they’ve been intriguing enough to attract a number of tourists to participate in the organized nightly walking ghost tours at the castle which unravel the horrors of the past.
In addition, the fortified structure of Chillingham played an important part during World War II, housing many soldiers who used it as army barracks. Some of its decorative wooden elements were said to have been destroyed and burned by the army.
Fortunately, in 1982, the castle was returned to the hands of the Grey family, whose descendant, Lady Mary Tankerville, decided to restore the almost decayed building.
Being a real touristic hot spot of northern England, the castle especially captivates its visitors because, during tours, they’re encouraged to touch the artifacts and look through the relics of the owners.
For the most adventurous holiday-goers, the castle offers a unique accommodation in the medieval fortress.
One part of the castle, as well as its coach house, have been reconstructed and made into holiday apartments. It would be a unique experience to spend a night there–just make sure you turn a blind eye to the Blue Boy.


Similar to prenatal vitamins for a pregnant woman, the quality of an egg can be greatly impacted by the nutrition of the layer. By changing a bird’s diet, everything from chick development to shell condition can be affected. For this post, we are going to focus on the effect minerals can have on shell strength, specifically in regards to the form they are given in.
When eggs are formed, the strength of the shell is imparted by fusion and confluence of the mammillae. In a recent study, Dr. Sally Solomon from the Institute of Biodiversity, Glasgow, United Kingdom, found that strength is reduced by the inclusion of abnormal forms of mineral. Conversely, in bioplexed form, selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, and iron are absorbed more readily. These elements are critical to a number of enzymatic processes which lead to optimal shell formation and are all essential nutrients contributing to shell strength.
Shell strength is important to eggs for withstanding the sometimes turbulent shipping process or to protect developing chicks from external challenges, among other things. So while it’s unlikely ‘walking on eggshells’ will ever become irrelevant, there are great strides being made towards improving the strength of the shells for when it’s most needed.

Teaching children using the science of reading is important for many reasons, but let’s never discount how crucial it is for advancing civil rights.
A 2018 speech by Lacey Robinson was resurfaced this week by literacy expert Vesia Hawkins to commemorate Black History Month.
Hawkins keyed into one moment in Robinson’s talk in particular.
“Research says in order to be a fluent reader, you have to know the code,” Hawkins wrote. “Why do you withhold the code from some children?”
Watch Robinson’s speech to learn more about how Black people have been prevented from reading throughout American history. Then, ask yourself how we can do better for Black students now.
CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools Sonja Santelises agreed with Hawkins. She’s been in the room with Robinson during another speech, and, well, let her tell you:

Mangroves provide habitat to many marine animals. These trees hold the ground, thus preventing erosion since there is a general tendency for the sea to engulf the land. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) recognizes the many other benefits of Mangroves aside from the ones mentioned. Thus, the Foundation, in partnership with the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, launched “Las-Ud Mangrove Project” last August 14. 2014. It was attended by Hon. Teresita Valle (Mayor, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur); Former DENR ASec Marlo Mendoza, Mr. Philip Sing, Ms. Elizabeth Alba, Mr. Jonathan Anuma, Ms. Valerie Tan and Ms. Janel Badlis ( Tan Yan Kee Foundation Representatives); Mr. Joseph S. Gumnad (OIC-Municipal Agriculturist) and Mr. Larry C. Calleja (AT/ MENRO); Mr. Antonio Lozano (Brgy. Captain, Las-Ud Sta. Cruz) and its Kagawad, Barangay Health Workers and member of 4P’s.
The purpose of this project is for coastal protection, as the dense root systems of mangrove forests trap sediments flowing down rivers and off the land. This helps stabilize the coastline and prevents erosion due to waves and storms. In areas where mangroves have been cleared, coastal damage from hurricanes and typhoons proved to be much more severe. By filtering out sediments, the forests also protect coral reefs and seagrass meadows from being smothered by the sediments.
In his welcome remarks, Barangay Captain Antonio Lozano mentioned the benefits of mangroves for the community, “ang mga bakawang ito ang magsisilbing kanlungan ng mga isda at iba pang mga nilalang na nabubuhay sa tubig upang sila’y mangitlog at magparami.” He added, “ang bawat punla ng bakawan na ating itatanim ay siyang magiging depensa ninyong mga naninirahan dito sa Las-Ud laban sa bagsik ng bagyo, tsunami o storm surge at baha.”
Former DENR ASec Marlo Mendoza shared the 4 impacts of the Mangrove Project: provisioning, regulating, support and socio-cultural function. Aside from being the breeding ground of fishes, balancing the ecosystem, and cycling the nutrients, mangroves also provide ecotourism as they offer aesthetics in the area. Afterwards the discussion, Mayor Teresita Valle gave her response to TYKFI, “With your good cause, I assure you – we Sta. Cruzinians are behind you and always ready to support you.”
The program ended with the planting of more than 3,700 Bakawan seedlings and propagules. The community members expressed their appreciation of the project, “Salamat sa Tan Yan Kee Foundation, salamat sa lahat ng tulong ninyo sa amin para hindi kami bahain. First time lang po na may tumulong po ng ganito sa aming barangay kaya po napakaswerte po namin. Lahat po kami dito ay siguradong makikinabang,” said Kagawad Josefina Yumang.
