Clean, Renewable Energy If you stop and think about it, it matters not where you are on this blue planet we call home, all the energy you could ever need is shining in the sky, raining down solar energy onto the land, and with the right equipment, it can be harnessed and stored for future use. With portable solar panels and a deep cycle battery, you and your family can camp wherever you please, and for as long as you like, as you have all the power you need....

Rapport International was one of those peculiar “converter” companies, this one based out of London, somewhat like a coachbuilder-lite. Rapport actually had a showroom in the Mayfair area of London and did the work in Woking, so they were more visible than many similar companies. They’d take existing mass-market cars, and rework them with some body panel changes, lighting changes, and lots of interior upfitting — all in an attempt to make a more unique, premium vehicle out of mundane but reliable and accessible mechanicals....

If you haven’t noticed, we absolutely adore the GMC Motorhome here at the Autopian. So when I saw this at the RV/MH Hall of Fame during the RV Open House I was drawn in like a mosquito to a bug zapper. The exterior alone looks like it could have rolled off of a General Motors factory line in 2008, and the interior looks better than most of the far newer rigs that were at the show....

But with COVID-19 disrupting everything, it’s become harder and harder to meet in person. It’s a challenge to talk to people in person and share the gospel. That’s why there’s a need to a create website. There’s a need to create a church online presence. Here’s a guide on how to create a church website effectively. Find a Domain Learning how to create a church website first requires you to find a domain....

A stockbroker purchases and sells stocks, forex and other investment assets on behalf of its customers in return for a commission fee. It acts as an intermediary between the trading markets and the investor. A stockbroker can provide a comprehensive management service for your investment portfolio that can make choices on your behalf, advise you on how to manage your own trading transactions or simply conduct your instructed transactions without offering advice....

All of this is to say that technology will be a major driving force in how the modern supply chain is shaped, explored, and defined. Whether it is the mass implementation of cloud technology and RFID techs, or the deployment of warehouse robotics, technology will time and time again change the landscape of logistics. Below are three emerging technology trends transforming the supply chain: RFID technology RFID – radio frequency identification – replaced the traditional barcodes, and in doing so reshaped the supply chain industry, making sure that the right merchandise is at the right time at the right place....

It may surprise you to know that there are many different careers in communications that can arise from a communications degree. It may also surprise you to know that each communications career has its own distinct differences, allowing you to showcase your strengths and expertise, whatever your interests. In this article, we explore what to expect from a communications major and what jobs you can get with a communications degree....

Whatever your requirements, picking the best of the bunch can be a daunting task, so we’ve done the hard work for you by reviewing the best drawing tablets based on value for money for beginner and intermediate users. Although considered a fairly new invention, Wacom, the most popular brand of drawing tablet, actually released its first model way back in 1984. As such an established company, it’s no surprise that one of its more recent entries to market, the Wacom Intuos S, ranks top of the pile in our best drawing tablets review....

Just to let you know we are listening to some stuff, I can say that we are working with our tech team to try and improve the experience here; we’re looking into speeding up loading times, getting a way to edit comments, add pictures, and more. I don’t have a clear timeline just yet for those, but things are happening, and I want to thank everyone for being patient with our tech issues as we try to win an auction for that 16K RAM expansion module that should really speed everything up, finally....

According to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), there are 80,000 chemicals being used in the United States, some of which can end up in our drinking water. This includes substances like lead and pesticides. More and more consumers are installing water filtering systems in their homes, but not all systems are equally effective. Some water softeners even do more harm than good. Many cities are banning salt-based softeners, so keep reading to learn about the alternatives....

As the M3 Touring is a full-on M3, it gets two lung-sized grilles and absolutely zero cohesive lines on the entire front end. I know that banging on about the nose is beating a dead horse but come on, what’s a dead horse going to say? It’s dead and I’m the one with the Louisville Slugger. Seriously, this car should come with a pixelated face and a sensitive content warning, for its front end may actually scare pedestrians....

When I say that cars played more of a role in the development of modern CGI than you’d think, I mean that automotive subjects show up a good amount in the early development of computer graphics. For example, the first object to be “scanned” in three dimensions to become a 3D computer model was computer pioneer Ivan Sutherland’s personal 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. And, speaking of Volkswagen, I’m pretty certain that the first true first-person driving simulator was developed by Volkswagen in 1972, and was almost certainly the first interactive driving simulator to feature actual computer-generated imagery for the road and other items, like those lollipop-looking trees:...

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Genesis Is Out-Cadillacing Cadillac I’m not under any illusion that Korean luxury brand Genesis is going to build this giant electric convertible they’re calling the X Convertible Concept, but the sheer hutzpah of the thing is impressive....

Let’s follow the driver’s gaze here: What’s going on? Are they tailing a squirrel or field mouse or vole? Trying to smush a cockroach the safe, clean, gas-burning way? Is she a notary public who made a decision to shun a conventional stamp and instead ordered special tires with her notary stamp carved into the tire sipes, and is currently directing her car to a stack of documents in the field that need notarizing?...

The big news for 2024 is the new Denali Ultimate trim. GMC was an early player in the “cowboy Cadillac” arena, and the Denali Ultimate elevates luxury to compete with the Ford Super Duty Limited and Ram Limited. All 2024 GMC Sierra HD models get an all-new interior, but the Denali Ultimate decks things out with wood, massaging seats, saddle leather, and metal speaker grilles that look befitting of a luxury car....

Unlike many professions, teachers spend the majority of their days in face-to-face communication with hundreds of children and other staff members. A good teacher has as much knowledge of their subject as they do of pedagogical theory and practice, in addition to their students’ unique needs, strengths and motivations. What is more, teaching is a practice. Good teachers arrive each day with a will to improve and try new strategies for empowering student progress; they take responsibility for driving their own professional development by seeking out new teaching strategies and integrating these into their day-to-day work....

By now, you must have a lot of material to go through. You are not sure of the questions that may come across. But you surely need to show that you are the best fit for the job. Are you nervous and tired of scratching your head and wondering what to do? What if, we told you, we have brought to you a complete set of interview questions that are almost certain to be on the panel’s list?...

This wasn’t intended to be a rant but David’s still wrapping up his Australian adventure and the lunatics are running the asylum, so a rant it may yet become. There are so many good cars. So many. Toyota is selling a three-cylinder rally car, basically, in the Toyota GR Corolla, and no one here even watches rally in America. We’ve got the Maverick and a million good trucks. Wanting something you cannot have is good....

What’s with these tiny wipers? source: CarsDirect I mean, look at the area these things actually clean…it’s a joke. Sure, some people will say that rear view cameras, giant screens, and beepers make a rear window of any kind superfluous today. To that I say shut up the fuck up, Elon. I think MOST people want to look out through the backlight, and through more than just some dinky little arc when it’s raining/salt spray covered....
