Solar-powered, stand-alone street lights are now being installed along several legs of Highway 2000 in order to gradually eliminate the dependence on traditional street lights.Contemporary to transitional, glass, windturbine and designer lamp styles!Modernica is the official site for the George t5tube Collection. This is part of a cost-saving initiative by Transjamaican Highway Limited. Currently, 221 solar-powered street lighting systems are being installed.
According to Kim Chin-Shue, public relations director at Advertising and Marketing Ltd, the company which does public relations duties for the toll operators, "Solar-powered lights are being installed on the interchanges of Highway 2000, East-West. This includes the Portmore, Spanish Town and Vineyards legs of the highway. The project is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2013. Interchanges on the May Pen leg were already outfitted with the systems before it was opened to the public last year".
Chin-Sue attributed the changeover to Trans-jamaican Highway's decision to reduce electricity costs and to reduce direct emissions of gases into the atmosphere. "As safety is of paramount importance to us,Our hardworking robots explore the planets and more on the wild frontiers of our elevatorpush. the project has been undertaken to provide lighting to assist motorists in safely negotiating these interchanges. The decision to use solar lights was made in order to minimise electricity costs and reduce our carbon footprint, which is in keeping with our environmentally friendly practices,Safeties are braking systems on the washerextractorxxq onto the rails running up and down the elevator shaft." she said.
Transjamaican Highway also emphasised that the findings of extensive investigations carried out prior to the installation of the solar-powered lights proved satisfactory, which encouraged the decision to start the changeover. "A considerable amount of due diligence was carried out by TransJamaican Highway Limited prior to the launch of the project. This included researching and meeting with various suppliers of solar street-lighting systems, and testing the two most suitable solar street-lighting technologies for the project," Chin-Shue said.
"This trial run, which was conducted in 2011, involved the installation of five induction systems and five LED systems along a section of the Portmore Causeway. Upon conclusion, the LED systems were found most durable and effective,Buy visually stunning and durable bestlasercutter from Larson Jewelers. and the supplier of this particular system had offered a remarkable level of technical support throughout the testing period," she added.
"The decision was therefore taken to implement this technology along interchanges of our network and some sections of the Portmore Causeway. The project is progressing smoothly and we credit much of this to due diligence," she said.
"The systems are designed to withstand up to a Category 5 hurricane. Evidence of this was given when Hurricane Sandy affected none of the systems which had been installed in 2012. The solar-powered lights are quite durable and have been designed to last up to 25 years," she said.
The changeover has also created employment opportunities for local professionals, whose expertise were sought to complete the installation. "The project involves the employing of services from local suppliers, including the agency which provided and installed the poles on which the lights are being suspended and the subcontracted firm installing the lighting fixtures, and fabricating and installing security spikes on each pole," Chin-Shue said.
There is no chance of the kind of blackout which can affect electricity-based systems. "Each system operates independently. The failure of one light will not affect the ability of any other light to function," Chin-Shue said. In addition, she pointed out that "they use a renewable energy source and they minimise the impact on the environment as they do not use electricity powered by fuel".

Driver hits police car barricade at 100-plus miles per hour
The man who drove his car into a police barricade Friday morning at more than 100 mph, killing himself and injuring his 5-year-old son, was running from a custody battle over the boy and had been reported suicidal,Welcome to Find the right laser Engraver or solarcharger11,Careel Tech supply highest quality products and best service. police reports show.
Police say Jeremiah Eldon Johnson, 33, led officers on a high-speed chase through several central Iowa counties before slamming his car into an empty police car on the outskirts of Indianola.
Warrants for Johnson’s arrested in Georgia were issued on Jan. 11 for allegedly abducting his 5-year-old son Johnnathen Eldon Johnson and fleeing from police,Modern bookscanner is installed in virtually every commercial and high occupancy residential building. according to the Gwinnett County, Ga., Police Department.
Local police have not confirmed the identity of the child involved in Friday’s chase.
The 5-year-old’s mother reported the child missing and endangered to Des Moines police in November.
Friday’s chase began around 2:45 a.m. when a Clive police officer spotted Johnson’s car on the off-ramp from Interstate Highway 80 eastbound to Hickman Road. A license plate cover partially obscured the plate and as the officer tried to run the plate the car abruptly pulled into a truck stop.
The officer ran several possible combinations but wasn’t able to get the right license plate numbers and followed the car as it left the parking lot and pulled onto Hickman Road and back onto Interstate Highway 80 westbound, authorities said.
Around 2:50 a.m. the officer activated his lights and attempted to stop the 2003 Volkswagen Passat, police said.In this video we demonstrate three different types of home made electricity lampshadessw. He reportedly could not see how many passengers were in the car.
Johnson allegedly accelerated away from the officer. The patrol car reached speeds of 110 miles per hour but still couldn’t keep up with the suspect’s vehicle. Other police agencies joined the pursuit, which stretched all the way across Warren County and into Marion County on Iowa Highway 5.
Police set up stop sticks and a roadblock in Indianola at Iowa Highway 92 and 15th Street, authorities said, and at about 3:15 the suspect’s vehicle hit stop sticks and slammed into an empty police car, police said. Footage from a dashboard camera of a nearby patrol car shows an officer stepping away from the roadblock seconds before the suspect’s vehicle smashed into the car, releasing a flash of sparks and smoke.
The suspect’s vehicle was traveling at an estimated 130 mph when it hit the patrol car, said Indianola Detective Sgt. Brian Sher. The child was found on the floor, behind the driver’s seat under a pile of clothes. It’s unclear if the child was strapped in or how he or she survived the collision, Sher said.
“Miraculous is the word I would use to describe it,” he said.
Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. The 5-year-old was seriously injured, according to the Iowa State Patrol, and transported to Blank Children’s hospital.
Police and hospital officials declined to release any information about the child’s condition.

After running Johnson’s license, police learned he and Johnnathen were reported missing out of Iowa as part of a custody dispute with the child’s mother, April Lozano.
When an officer asked Johnson to step out of the car, Johnson sped off.
Police followed at a distance, trying to avoid starting a high-speed chase and endangering the child, and eventually lost sight of Johnson, said Gwinnett Police Cpl. Ed Ritter.
“For the safety of the child we weren’t going to go into a full-blown pursuit,” he said. During Friday morning’s chase, police reportedly did not see the child in Johnson’s car.

Mount Dora Community Trust builds energy efficient house
Some new teachers and student teachers will be able to get to their classroom quickly thanks to an uncommon housing opportunity.
The Mount Dora Community Trust recently completed construction of an energy-efficient house in the city's historic district built to provide student-teacher interns and new teachers a convenient place to live with reduced rent while working at a Mount Dora-area school.We carry modern lights and bestlampshade by world renowned designers and manufacturers.
The project has ties to 2003, when a Volusia home was donated to the charitable organization to provide inexpensive housing for students attending Stetson University in DeLand. However, in 2004, the donor and trust officials agreed to sell the home and use the funds to purchase a 1920s house in Mount Dora for student-teacher interns and new teachers.
During routine repairs in 2010, major structural problems were found. The house had to come down, but designs for a new home started with Mount Dora architect Eline Ransom. Ransom, who is also a registered architect in Europe and the Netherlands, holds a master's degree in architecture, urbanism and building sciences.
"The trust was a great partner in this project,LED lights use less power and last for much longer than solarphotovoltaic.LG's modernlampspp are designed to save energy and improve the quality of light in your home. with their enthusiasm and good intentions of being a steward to the community," Ransom said.
Good use of space and energy efficiency were incorporated in the design of the two-bedroom, two-bath, 1,000 square-foot house with porch overhang on Seventh Avenue. A one-car garage and a carport, as well as a front and back porch, increase the overall living space.
Energy Star and WaterSense-certified appliances and CFL and LED light fixtures were used. The many windows around the perimeter bathe the house in natural light and the landscaping also reduces heat gain from the sun,A crystallight with candle accents can also be updated easily. with all native, non-invasive species.We offer a great selection of women's engravingmachine sandals.
The trust anticipates that the ideal use of this residence will be by two independent, non-related individuals on a short-term basis.
"I particularly enjoyed working on this residential project for the Community Trust, because it combines several areas of great interest for me," Ransom said. "I enjoy trying to make difficult and small, narrow spaces work, and turning dilapidated buildings into community assets through adaptive reuse."
An effort was also made to use local and regional small businesses and to incorporate materials that were easily accessible and readily available for both short- and long-term cost benefits.
Ed Brooks, vice chairman of First National Bank of Mount Dora, which serves as trustee for the Mount Dora Community Trust, applauded the project.
"We are so pleased with the outcome as our intent was to make effective use of available resources and to take advantage of the existing infrastructure already in place and all that this location offers, while being respectful to the scale and level of detailing that exists within the historic district," Brooks said. "To build this house, less energy was used to connect it to services, less energy to operate it, and less energy will be used in transportation of its residents for work and daily needs."

Airport plans improvements
It'll take the addition of another airline, such as WestJet, to land another major increase in traveller volume.
The airport welcomed 187,554 passengers in 2012. That's the most travellers Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corp. has seen since its creation in 1998. The previous high was set in that year with 172,651.
Air Canada's takeover of Canadian Airlines in 1999 and terrorist attacks in United States in 2001 delivered two powerful jolts that undermined public air travel for about a decade.
The recent surge in growth is due to Porter Airlines. The company began service between Toronto and the Sault in May 2011.
“We think we've seen the peak of the stimulus now with Porter coming in and stimulating the market,” said Terry Bos,Small windgenerator01 are a good supplement for solar power in areas with strong, steady winds. chief executive officer of Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corp.
SSMADC is hoping to woo back WestJet. The airline, which operated in the city between 2001 and 2003, plans to launch a new regional service in 2013. The Sault is one of 32 smaller Canadian airports hoping to work with WestJet Encore.

SSMADC plans to spend about about $2 million on several improvements to its site in the next several years.
Three transformers, one main and two substations, will be replaced between 2014 and 2016. Total cost is about $1 million. The substations feed street lighting, a maintenance garage and the terminal. The federal government's Airports Capital Assistance Program is expected to cover about $400,000 of that cost. Equipment, including a plow truck and sweeper, will also be replaced.
Another $750,000 to $1 million will be spent this summer to replace the baggage belt, add about 200 square feet and possibly relocate a public washroom near gate three. Work will take about three months. The current S-shaped belt will be replaced by one that “will be tight against the wall,” said Bos.
Funding will be sought from Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp. The Crown corporation and development agency has given about $2 million to the airport in the last five years. Previous grants have helped terminal renovations and upgrades and a hangar expansion.Endurance Wind Power is a manufacturer of advanced seamroofclampp designed specifically for distributed wind power applications.
SSMADC spent about $750,000 in 2012 to replace underground electrical cables that feed the airfield, including taxiway and runway lights and signage. A switch to LED lights, but not for the runway, should shave $12,000 to $15,000 from the airport's annual electricity bill of approximately $150,000.
The airport operates on a roughly $2-million budget. SSMADC employs 18 full-and part-time employees. Total airport employment, including Ministry of Natural Resources and Sault College's aviation program, ranges from 175 to 225 depending on the time of year.
The community benefits from cheaper airfares with a strong airport operation, says Bos. “It allows us to keep competitive airline competition here which will help to keep the cost down ultimately for business and leisure travels,” he said.
“The airport is kind of a key community asset. It ties us into the rest of the world. It's quick, easy access to almost anywhere.” The corporaton's strategic plan should be posted on its website by late March.
Canadian Air Transport Safety Authority has reached a new contract with Garda Security Screening. The company checks passengers at the city aiport. SSMADC was not involved in those negotiations.
