Solar Pool Heating Installation For Saving Money & Going Green

Solar pool heating installation is a great way for homeowners to save money. Solar pool heaters use the sun's energy to warm your pool's water, so you don't have to waste money on electricity or gas. But how does solar pool heating work, and why is it better than other forms?

The solar panels on your roof convert the sun's energy into heat. This heats a fluid inside the collector box—which connects to your pool—and circulates through pipes under the ground to warm up your water.

Solar pool heating is also a great option where temperatures drop below freezing. Solar pool heating has many benefits over other forms of pool heating. It's a clean and renewable energy source, which means it doesn't contribute to climate change or pollute the environment. And because solar water heaters use sunlight to warm up your pool, no harmful emissions or fumes are released into the air.

Affordable Solar is here to answer any questions and provide the best possible service. If you want to learn more about how solar pool heating works or want to find out if it's right for your swimming pool, call them today at 0418 349 495.

Solar Panel Installation - Get the Most Out of Your Investment

Investing in a solar panel installation in Brisbane is an excellent way to cut your power bill. The amount you save depends on the type of solar panels you choose and the price you pay. You can also generate cash by storing energy through a solar energy storage system. By doing a bit of research, you can find a solar panel supplier that meets your needs.

A solar panel system can be beneficial to both you and the environment. It is possible to save up to $55,000 over the lifetime of your panels. However, you must also choose a reputable solar panel manufacturer and retailer. Some of the best options for a solar panel installation in Brisbane include Hyundai Energy Solutions and MC Electrical. They both provide the best after-sales service and solar panel systems at competitive prices.

Whether you need a small residential solar pack or a larger system, there are plenty of ways to get the most out of your investment. By using energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances, scheduling your electricity consumption and reducing your carbon footprint, you will be able to make your system work for you.

If you want a solar panel installation in Brisbane that will last you for years to come, look at the options offered by Hyundai Energy Solutions. Their products have a 25-year warranty and are German engineered. This means they are likely to hold up well to the rigours of the Australian climate. Another great solar manufacturer to consider is Q Cells. These solar panels are known for their high performance characteristics and great reputation in the industry.

Choosing a solar panel retailer can be a confusing process. There are many different companies in the industry who claim to offer the lowest prices, but the quality and experience of their services vary. Not all of these companies will live up to their claims, so it is important to compare them to find the best fit.

The federal government provides up-front discounts on the cost of solar panel systems. In addition, you can receive a feed-in-tariff, which is a form of money that you receive for the electricity you generate. Depending on where you live, you will be eligible to receive between 6 and 8 cents per kWh.

While a solar panel system may be expensive, it can quickly pay for itself. Depending on the size of your home, you can expect to save at least $500 per year on your power bill. Additionally, solar panels are a good way to add value to your property. When you choose to invest in a solar panel installation in Brisbane, you will be contributing to the local economy.

Purchasing a solar panel system in Brisbane can be an expensive undertaking, but the savings you will make over time will more than make up for the initial costs. In fact, a 4.05kW solar panel system in Brisbane can generate up to $1,026 or more annually.

Certified Solar specializes in providing solar energy and energy storage system installations for commercial and residential projects. We transform our clients’ energy needs by helping them drastically reduce and eliminate their electricity bills, aiming for the maximum return on each investment.

Ripping up concrete sidewalks and parking lots and instead planting urban forests and using less cars can all help to decrease indoor and outdoor air temperature. In cities with an abundance of water, “soft cooling” techniques using fans and pools can also greatly reduce extreme temperatures.

Many architects today are also changing how they design buildings: only providing AC in specific rooms instead of through a central heating system. This way, people can choose to open or close their windows if they want, while reducing the energy needed to cool the hallways and lobby areas.

If you face photovoltaic panels westward, you can time the peak electricity production from solar energy with peak electricity demand for cooling. Using better glass on buildings, external shading, increasing air movement and installing ceiling fans—all of these further reduce reliance on AC.

In the longer term, we can cool our streets by narrowing them, using less dark colors that absorb heat, and aligning streets to prevailing winds. There are also ways we can overhaul the way we do air conditioning itself.

Many cities already provide air-conditioned public spaces as a public health services; we could also redesign apartment buildings with social spaces for people to hang out, by, for example, transforming the much cooler basements into lounges.

We could build cooperative housing that is ecologically and efficiently designed, so that people can together manage their energy use and decide on their own innovations to lower temperature. Toronto has a district cooling system that uses cold water from the bottom of Lake Ontario, and then uses the warmed up water for the drinking water supply.

-Abby Anderson!Construction worker x female!reader

-synopsis: Abby is a construction worker your dad hired. you start fawning over her, coming to soon realize she’s not what you expected, a mutual hatred grows but so does the sexual tension.

-warning: wlw sex, oral sex & fingering (r!reciving), somewhat implied age gap.

-word count: 2.5k-

Credit to: @solar-18 (co written)

Suddenly you wake up confused and agitated to the noises of construction coming from your backyard. You slowly try to pull yourself out of bed and walk over to the kitchen to find your dad making breakfast

“What the hell is going on?” You ask “remember I told you last week but you must’ve been half asleep, we’re getting our new pool installed for the next couple months”he says in an annoyed tone, not bothering to look up from the stove.

“MONTHS?,so that noise is our new normal now?”

“I guess so” he dismisses. You grab a pancake with your hand and take a bite as you groggily walk over to the patio door and open it slowly, you walk over to the edge of the patio and look down to see 4-5 construction workers,but one stood out.

A few middle aged men, greasy and complaining about the heat, and then there’s her. A tall woman who carries herself with such ease and confidence, like she knows she’s hot. You get captivated by her, it’s easy for her to trapped in your gaze, the way her hands are so rugged but gentle in the way you crave for them, the way her braid drapes down her back in her sweat soaked tank top, so wet that it sticks to her revealing her toned muscles. Almost as wet as you.

You're leaning against the patio railing biting your lip when she looks at you, snapping out of your trance, immediately turning your face a hot red out of embarrassment. Maybe she didn’t notice… but maybe she did. Then you realize your hair is disastrous and you're in your XXL pizza sauce stained Pajama shirt, and that you're not wearing any pants, stuffin’ a pancake in your mouth.

You race back to your room mortified and heavily embarrassed. You brush and curl your hair all fancy and try your best to look like you got more than 4 hours of sleep. You put on your nicest outfit so maybe she’ll forget about how atrocious you looked 10 minutes ago, you think to yourself and wonder how you could possibly impress this toned, blonde, 6 foot 2, gorgeous woman.

You take a deep breath before walking out of your bedroom, you walk towards your father nonchalantly, “What’s up hun? You look nice, what’s the occasion?” Your father says looking up at you then looking right back down at whatever he thought was so important on his phone. You lean against the corner of the couch trying desperately to hide the smirk that is creeping up your lips.

“uh.. I’m goin’ out later. So,, do you know the name of that construction worker out there? Y’know, the one with the braid?”

“Why do you ask?” He says, thinking you're being suspicious.

“No reason, just curious” you almost mumble,

“I can’t remember.. maybe you could go ask yourself” he says as he half-moon smiles at you, his attention barely in the conversation.

“You should make something for the workers, they’ve been out there since sunrise” he sighs, acting like he’s not paying them triple what he should.

You think to yourself that it could be the perfect opportunity to talk to her.

You don’t know what to make, you're racking your brain trying to think of something, then it comes to you, it’s perfect, you think she’ll love it… god you hope she will.

The smell of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies fills the air as you hear the oven timer go off. You carefully slip them one at a time onto one of your grandmother's old floral plates, you shake your head slightly with a huff as you slide the patio door open, the heat hitting you instantly.

You sat them down on a table on the patio and announce to them all you made them some cookies, then she starts to walk up to you. Your heart racing, you are wishing with every bone in your body that she’ll like them, but then you realize, she’s not walking towards the cookies, she’s walking towards you.

You feel sickly, your heart is beating out of your chest more than it ever has in your life. You finally bring yourself to try and speak to her, trying your hardest to focus on your words so you don’t stutter. She comes closer, her face less then a foot away, she looks even better up close, before you can think of what to say she says

“I’m good.”

She looks at the cookies and makes a disgusted face and then looks back at you,

“Some water would’ve been nice though.”

She says in a snarky tone. You stand there for a few moments completely dumbfounded at the audacity of this woman.

You go to mumble out a response but she’s already walked away, completely unbothered. It makes your anger bubble up, you want to yell who the hell she thinks she is, but you don’t.

You go and get her water.

What a joke.

As you're coming back out with a pitcher of water and a stack of cups you look over to see these four gluttonous men walking away from the table.

You look over at the cookies to realize that they devoured all 30 cookies in the time it took you to get you a pitcher of water and some cups, you look over at the woman, she looks at your pitcher of water before looking back at you,

“Couldn’t even bother to get ice?” She scoffs before turning back to her work, not even bothering to take a glass of water you so graciously got just for her.

You feel almost defeated, turning back inside and slamming the glass door behind you. You head straight to your room agitated and pick up your book, you try to read but your thoughts are too filled with that woman. You’ve never gone from such love to such hate in that short of time.

While your sitting on your bed trying to read you hear a knock on your door, you stand up and shuffle to your door as you wipe the sleep from your eyes, they widen as you look up to a woman towering over you.

You roll your eyes slightly as she leans against your door frame. She looks down at you and with her deep groggily voice she huffs

“You gonna let me in or not?”

“Why would i let you in?” You say in a stand-offish voice

“Your dad wants me to take a look at your shower, he says it’s leaky.”

“Fine” you say, accepting defeat since your showers been broken too long for your liking.

You let her in as she scans your room all around with her deep blue eyes making a face that tells you she’s critiquing your room.

“The bathrooms right there” you sigh in a tone that implies you want her gone. She nods as she grips her tool box with her large biceps and slams your bathroom door.

As you hear her in there working and grunting you can’t focus on a thing, storming out of your bedroom heading to the kitchen to find your father, at the stove cooking your favorite dinner, finally, something good about this god awful day.

“Ah, hon. That girl you were talking about earlier,, her names Abby, and I invited her to stay for dinner.”

Abby. The name loops in your head.

Why did he have to invite her. Maybe this is all an elaborate prank their trying to pull on you. Can she really be that bad? Sure, she’s a complete self-obsessed, ungrateful little bitch but if she was able to befriend your father in just a short few hours maybe she’s not all bad..? Right?.

You find it exhausting trying to find reasons to like her, but who wouldn’t? She’s hot.

You, still dressed all nice when dinner rolled around cause you thought since you got all dressed up for nothing maybe you’d go out later and try to forget all about her beautiful freckled face, even though she’s an ass it doesn’t change the attraction you feel towards her.

You help your dad finish dinner and set the table, then she walks in.

Abby.

All the reasons you were just moments ago trying to convince yourself of slipped away in an instant as you see her smug face.

Then, just for a split second you catch her taking a glance at you, but not your face, then she looks back up at your eyes.

You're in such shock you think you must be seeing things, but then again your top is very low cut, you give her a sly grin and walk away with more confidence than ever before.

You pull out your chair and set a napkin on your lap, your head perking up as you hear the screech of a chair, it’s Abby. She has had the bright idea to sit next across from you. ‘Is this a joke? What’s this woman’s aim?’ You think to yourself.

Most of the dinner was just you and Abby glaring at each other and your father rambling about god knows what. You could cut the tension with a knife, but your dad keeps trying to keep things light but he’s slowly starting to realize the mutual discomfort.

His phone rings and he excuses himself from the table, after a few moments he comes over to the table. “there’s been an emergency at the office, I’ll be home soon hun.” He says lightly with a kiss on the forehead, grabbing his jacket and slamming the door.

You continue to make intense eye contact with Abby, the silence is deafening. You take a glance outside to see the work they have managed to do on the pool, you look back at Abby to find her staring at your chest, again, but this time not so subtle.

“Eyes are up here.” You mock,

Abby’s eyes dart back down to her food, she picks at it as her face grows red, she mutters something under her breath but too quiet to hear.

“What’s that?” You assert. Abby looks you straight in the eyes and scoffs,

“I know you wore that shirt just for me” she sneers,

“The world doesn’t revolve around you” you argue. Abby snaps back,

“don't think I didn’t see you drooling over me this morning, and then suddenly you came back all dressed up with freshly baked cookies, coincidence?.. I think not.”

Your fuming. You don’t know what to say or do but you figure the best thing you can do is play it cool,

“Whatever you say Abby” you allude, you try and change the subject by saying,

“It’s getting late, you clean up while I get a shower?” “Sure sweetie” she says mocking you.

‘God that woman stresses me out’

you think to yourself as you undress for the shower, you get in to realize it’s still broken. ‘As if this day couldn’t get any fucking worse’ you sigh to yourself, marching back out to her in a short towel you’ve had since you were 12

“Now your really just trying to tempt me, love.” She nagged, seductively, “ha ha. Very funny,, the shower you supposedly fixed, it’s still broken.” You exhale, visibly upset.

“Here, I’ll come take a look at it.” Abby says with a dramatic sigh.

You stand In the bathroom door frame watching her touch the shower head gently but firm, with her slightly vainly muscular hands, wishing you were the one she’s touching,

“I need an extra hand, can you get over here??” She huffs, you scramble over to her and hold the shower head up while she works on stuff above you, her face only inches away from yours. You start hopelessly turning red, turning your head in the opposite direction to prevent her from noticing but her massive toned arms are even closer to your face ‘god I want her.’

You think to yourself, aimlessly racking your brain as to why you feel this way.

Your getting hot and jittery as you notice your towel begging to slip, as you only have one free hand. Abby looks at you dead in the eyes, so close to your face you can feel her hot breath as she groans,

“if you want me to fuck you so bad, your gonna have to make a move,,”

And in a split second you drop the shower head, along with your towel and grab her face, your lips crashing together feverishly as your tongues meet in a heat, steam filling the room and heat rising from the shower.

Abby unzips her pants in a haze and slides them off as you rip off her top in a panic, feeling her back muscles as you do.

Once it’s off your hand explores her abs as she devours your face, lips part for a moment gasping for air, taking a moment to admire her body.

Your body’s are pressed together in a foggy blur.

“I wanna feel you Abby” you groan into her hair as she bites at your neck, craving her even more.

“Yes ma’am.” She replies slowly running her fingers up your thighs until their buried deep inside your soaked cunt, you gasp and grab her shoulder.

“Is that good you fucking slut?” She mutters into your ear, clearly enjoying herself.

“Yes Abby'' you gasp as she curls her fingers fast and hard, letting out a loud cry. You can hear Abby whimper as you moan her name. You can feel her everywhere inside you, burrowing Into the deepest parts of your body.

Your nails latch onto her broad arms as hard as you can but she’s not even fazed, so focused on you and how good you feel on her fingers, she holds your legs up as they start to buckle before lifting you up and taking you to your bed.

She throws you down and is immediately on top of you, pinning you to the bed.

With every kiss you get needier.

“Abby, please” you plead.

“Please what? Use your words.”

You fucking hate this woman. Why must she make everything so difficult.

“Abby I want you to eat me.” You say blatantly, a smile rising to Abby’s face, she moves down your body maintaining eye contact, and just before she reaches your aching cunt she stops.

“Just because I’m gonna fuck you so good you forget everyone’s name but mine doesn’t mean I like you.” Music to your ears. You couldn’t give two shits if she liked you, as long as you get an orgasam from a pretty lady out of it. Before you could reply, her tongue is already attached to your clit, your hips buck into her mouth as her braid finds it’s way into your grasp.

She takes your thigh in her large hand and starts flicking your bud with her thick fingers, you can feel your head becoming foggier and foggier as your orgasam creeps up.

“Abs… I’m ‘gunna” you slur as she fucks your hole with her tongue

“Show, don’t tell” Abby hums, and you do as she says. You let out a deep sigh as you feel your release, Abby eating all that your worth,

“hm, you like that doll?” Abby says wiping her mouth as she looks up at you, still trying to catch your breath from the excitements that occurred just moments ago, “I’ll take your lack of a response as pretty fucking good.” Abby teases, acting full of herself. But this time you don’t mind.

Have some random headcanon bullshit -

Tsams + Tlaes edition

• Earth is now rolling with the disability squad (welcome queen, we love you, sorry you're here). Given that Moon redirected most of her pain receptors to her legs, she now has issues with mobility in her lower back, hips, knees and ankles.

• Solar also has lasting damage from the separation from his Sun (mostly in code hiccups that impact his balance or weight baring on occassion, from a data-loss in transit on top of a... very specifically callibrated virus that ate at some of his code before it was intercepted. You know what happened there and who took it). He uses a forearm crutch on bad days, and has some braces he made that he wears under his pants.

• Sun has some lasting issues from his separation from Moon, too - when the killcode was left behind, the only way to keep it all sort of balanced out to avoid systemic corruption was for Moon to kinda... scrape pieces away to make up for the exchange. He never told Sun about that, assuming his code would self-repair it if it was harmful. It never did. Sunny doesn't really have an aid yet but he really should use one.

• Solar decides that actually ya know what, fuck all of this shit. And he goes into his files, finds the exact heights and weights for both, and sets to welding. Adjustable braces, canes, forearm crutches, and even some blueprints for walkers or wheelchairs Just In Case. Then he takes the finished projects home, buys all sorts or decorative shit, and summons Earth and Sun.

• they all sit together outside and Solar lays out a tarp. There's no reason to be uncomfortable by needing help, he tells them, so this is gonna make the help fun. He hopes. They all decorate and have a good with it. When earth needs a break, they just curl up together and Sun weaves custom straps for them all, picking threads and just... talking.

• the family gets good at reading when Earth is having a Bad Pain Day - due in part to Solar calling it immediately, no nonsense, or Sun clocking it and immediately going into Big Brother Mode - but it also makes the others recognize how Sunny does similar things. Aggressive love.

• Cleo and Muffin become a source of reference too - it's almost hilarious bc the cats are just "no fuck you all we are GOD" but also the MOMENT Sun, Solar or Earth have a twinge? It's immediately a Miette Moment. "No, we must be held, must purr, must cuddle, must HEAL YOU, protecc, LET US LOVE YOU"

• Dazzle and Jack are very excited to help BTW, idek if I should include this bc it feels obvious. They both just kinda ascend out of the woodwork like "hello I love you, need snackies? Snuggles? How help-?"

• CUDDLE! PUDDLES!!

• color coded heat pads/ice packs.

• it's not uncommon at all for Monty to come home and find Solar and Earth draped partially across the side of the pool, mostly submerged, and Sun either half-in/half out, or straight up laying on the bottom. He installed a fuckin incredible heater to it, making the pool an optional hot tub. He just goes "oh, hey, fellas, hey, baby. Need anything?"

• Earth's cane is pink with teal clouds and yellow, lavender, and white stars w/ sparkles. Her crutches are dark green with hearts all over them in colors she associates with family. ((Both have barbie charms on the straps))

• Solar's crutches were going to be a dark gray with neat techno designs, but Jack accidentally grabbed one with paint on his hands, and Solar decided that it was... kinda cute actually. Family hand prints. He only uses one at a time usually, so he trades them out.

• Sun's are all different. He let the kids design one of his crutches ((the reason Jack had paint-hands with Solar's)) and the one from them is kind of... cream? Ish?? With stickers, googly eyes, lopsided smiley faces, rainbows, and a blob that is supposedly a unicorn. His other crutch is sort of like a sunset, light at the top, dark at the bottom, with his favorite constellations scattered throughout. The cane is sparkly gold with red ribbons along the handle.

1. The ACC will train and employ 20,000 people in climate and clean energy jobs

The ACC will mobilize a new, diverse generation by training them in skills crucial to combating climate change—everything from installing solar panels to improving communities' natural disaster resilience to restoring critical ecosystems. And with a shortage of skilled clean energy workers, the ACC couldn’t come at a better time. We need more tradespeople, installing things like electric vehicle chargers and heat pumps, to decarbonize our economy. 

There’s an emphasis on building career pathways, not just jobs. To achieve this, the White House will partner with unions and is committed to providing members with the hard skills and transferable credentials that will allow them to find good-paying jobs or seek further training through apprenticeships and trade schools after their service. This includes potentially expanding access to scholarships and awards that would support post-secondary education and training or reduce student debt and streamlined pathways into civil service. The best part? No prior experience is required for most positions, and very few will require college degrees.

2. The ACC prioritizes equity and environmental justice

While the ACC draws upon the ambition of The New Deal and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps, it also learns from its fundamental flaws.

FDR’s Corps lacked diversity, perpetuated white supremacy, and almost entirely excluded women, but Biden’s Corps puts equity and environmental justice at its core. It prioritizes communities traditionally left behind, including energy communities, whose lives have been dominated and shaped by the fossil fuel industry, and disadvantaged communities, who disproportionately suffer from a combination of environmental, economic, and health burdens.

The ACC follows the same targets of the administration’s Justice40 goal, where 40 percent of the benefits must be directed towards disadvantaged communities.

3. The ACC employs an all-of-government approach

The ACC is built on a hub-and-spoke model with AmeriCorps at the center. The White House is launching a dedicated ACC recruitment website, where participants can learn about and apply for opportunities in their communities, and across the country, that span all spheres of the clean energy economy.

The administration is partnering AmeriCorps with at least five other federal agencies (Department of Labor, Department of the Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Department of Energy) to pool resources, coordinate recruitment, and fund corps members to work on specific projects that address the climate crisis.

Additionally, the administration will partner with at least 10 states. California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan, and Washington have already launched similar programs, while five more (Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah) are creating their own Corps.

Wait wasn’t it the boomers that preach to us this “We need to save the world!” shit? I mean would could have better eco system if wasn’t for say

1. The US, USSR/China piss competition that was the Cold War

2. SEVERAL countries being fucked over thanks to the push of communism/US meddling/ etc and many of those countries are still recovering from it.

3. I mean in the west developed countries, people have fucking meltdowns over a Japan McDonald’s wholesome family tweet. So our family unit need some fixing

4. Manufactured nihilism, so a lot of people don’t give about themselves much less the environment.

5. Have corporations that being run by medically confirmed sociopaths.

I can say more, but Greta sweetie, I know you want to do good, but blaming the older generation thinking many were hellbent on destroying the earth isn’t so simple. Many do/did want to save the world, but we have to deal with the fallout of ww2, communist dumbasses, and so much more with humanity itself before we can do the ideal environmentalism.

Was confused for a moment till I remembered I'd scheduled that one, was gonna run it yesterday but I had to get around the subscription wall which is more complicated than a paywall.

In the end just archiving it works but the links in the article don't work if you do that, which is what I had to do.

It's not even the stuff you're mentioning up there either. I had a 1966 Plymouth Fury III there was this weird green plastic thing with a device inside it and a couple vacuum hoses attached to it, one in one out.

Primitive Smog control device, if you never worked on older cars that were manufactured for sale in California you'll never see one, but every vehicle sold in CA had a smog control device for the longest time, all changed when the auto industry realized it was cheaper to just do the same thing to every car, it's something that's been going on since before I was even born though, so current generation isn't the first to care or take action.

Been lots of missteps along the way, the shift from paper bags to plastic ones at grocery stores is a big one, people thought it would save the trees and it didn't do much there and now we've got a totally different problem.

Hole in the ozone layer on the other hand, we got that issue taken care of and it's on the mend, has been since long before gretta was born too.

National parks predate my grandparents, thanks Teddy, leaving large swaths of land alone for the purpose of conservation.

My grandparents when they got their pool installed in the early 80's had a big fat solar water heater installed so it could heat the water for that as well as the water for the house, weren't super common but they existed and were in use by people who wanted to both be nice to the earth and lower their gas bill at the same time.

Nearly all of the solutions being discussed by the young climate weekend warriors involve technology developed for the purpose they want it used for before they were born.

I'm just dandy with people wanting to save the earth, I've been trying to do my part for decades now, which I would appreciate it if gretta and co would acknowledge instead of acting like they're the first people ever to give a damn.

Several centuries of damage all culminating at the peak of the industrial revolution that we need to undo, that takes time and being a snobby, whiny, self important, twit who bashes everyone who came before her, who's shoulders she's standing on, doesn't do anything real.

And quite possibly does more harm than good.

Not going to totally blame her though, she did start out as a pawn on someone else's game and to some extent she still is.

massive TW: child+medical abuse, suicide, ableism

Contrary to the hospital’s suspicions, Beata had never been diagnosed with a mental illness, and prior to the DCF investigation, Jack says, she’d never suffered from depression. She had even undergone a court-ordered evaluation by a licensed psychologist who found “no evidence that would support the conclusion that Beata has falsified her daughter’s medical condition for any psychological purpose” and who concluded that “factitious disorder by proxy may safely be ruled out.” The psychologist did note that Beata may have been suffering from an “adjustment disorder” resulting from Maya’s illness and removal from their home. (Another report, written by Teppa Sanchez, observed: “Mother states that she is extremely tired and is very stressed and at times feels like she ‘wants to die.’”)

At the Kowalskis’ next family court hearing, All Children’s attorneys continued to argue that Maya needed to be kept away from her family and transferred to long-term inpatient medical foster care. The Kowalskis’ attorney handed Judge Haworth a letter Beata had addressed to him before taking her life. “Your heart is made out of iceberg!” it began, in her imperfect English. “ACH, DCF have destroyed my daughter physically and mentally … My daughter will never be who she was before October 13, 2016.” Haworth read the note, folded it, and put it away. He ruled that Jack could take Maya to Rhode Island to be evaluated by Pradeep Chopra, a professor at Brown University’s medical school who studies CRPS. Later, after Chopra wrote that Maya’s symptoms and response to treatments were consistent with CRPS, and that the diagnoses of Munchausen by proxy and factitious disorder were “incorrect,” Haworth remanded Maya back to Jack’s custody.

When Maya left All Children’s Hospital in January 2017, she weighed less than she did when she was admitted — a dark verdict on the separation test meant to detect Munchausen by proxy. She was so weak that it was difficult for her to sit up on her own, and Jack remembers having to put stuffed animals in the back seat of the car to support her body. At home, he says, Maya cried nonstop. Jack took her to physical therapy, installed solar panels to heat their pool for aquatherapy, and bought her a teacup Yorkie puppy. CRPS abates over time in most patients. A year and a half later, as Jack watched, astonished, Maya stood up out of her wheelchair, picked up her crutches, and slowly made her way across the room. After 12 more months of swimming, yoga, and exercise, Maya took her first unassisted steps in four years. “I bawled,” Jack said.

[...]

Much of what happened to the Kowalskis at All Children’s should not have occurred. It was not true that the parents could have been legally arrested if they had taken Maya home on her second day at the hospital. “Against medical advice” discharges are legal and occur every day in the United States; a 2007 study shows that one to 2 percent of all hospital admissions result in one. Also, Smith’s decision to access Maya’s confidential medical records through the All Children’s portal on October 8, 2016, appears to have violated the privacy law known as HIPAA, according to Blaise Wabo, a health-care-compliance expert at a cybersecurity audit firm. Only treating physicians are allowed to access patient records unless a parent gives written consent for another party to do so. Smith was never one of Maya’s treating doctors, and on the day she opened her confidential records, there was no active DCF investigation. HIPAA violations are punishable by significant fines and up to ten years in prison. When I asked All Children’s about how child-abuse pediatricians like Smith are able to access patient records, the hospital did not answer. (Smith disputed that any HIPAA violation occurred.)

this is an actual horror story. holy fucking shit.

Explore The Most Effective Solar Pool Heating System In Australia

Solar pool heating is one of the most useful ways to heat your pool. You can extend your swimming season by harnessing the sun's power for weeks or months. And, since solar energy is free once you've installed the system, it's a highly cost-effective way to heat your pool. There are two basic solar pool heating systems: active and passive. Dynamic systems have circulating pumps and controls circulating water through the solar collectors and then back into the pool. Passive systems rely on the natural circulation of water to move water through the system.

Solar Pool Heating System is generally very reliable and requires little maintenance. However, having your system inspected and serviced by a qualified solar contractor every few years is essential to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. If you're considering solar pool heating for your home, there are a few things to remember.

Green Logistics: How Sustainable Supply Chains Can Help the Environment

In the modern business landscape, sustainability is no longer an optional luxury but a crucial imperative. The logistics sector, pivotal to the global economy, stands at the forefront of this shift towards environmentally friendly practices. Green logistics is not just about reducing emissions or cutting back on waste; it's about reimagining the entire supply chain process to ensure minimal environmental impact. This blog explores how sustainable supply chains can help the environment and why they're essential for future-proofing businesses.

The Urgency for Green Logistics

The logistics industry, encompassing everything from procurement and material handling to packaging and transportation, is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions. Traditional logistics operations rely heavily on fossil fuels, with trucks, ships, and planes emitting considerable amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. This sector also generates waste through packaging and the disposal of non-recyclable materials. The need for green logistics has never been more urgent as businesses face increasing pressure from consumers, regulators, and their own corporate sustainability goals to reduce their environmental footprint.

Redefining Transportation: Towards Cleaner Alternatives

One of the most impactful ways to green the supply chain is through the transformation of transportation methods. The integration of electric and hybrid vehicles into commercial fleets is a growing trend. These vehicles significantly reduce the reliance on fossil fuels, thereby decreasing air pollution and promoting cleaner air—a primary goal of any business action for clean air. Furthermore, optimising routes through advanced GPS tracking can reduce travel distances and fuel consumption, proving that smart technology is as crucial as cleaner fuel options.

Enhancing Efficiency with Eco-friendly Packaging

Sustainable supply chains also focus on the materials used for packaging. By adopting biodegradable or recyclable materials, companies can dramatically lower their waste output. Innovations in packaging design, such as reducing the size and weight of packaging without compromising the protection of goods, also contribute to reducing the overall environmental impact. This not only helps in minimising waste but also cuts down on transportation emissions, as lighter packages lead to lower fuel consumption.

Streamlining Operations and Reducing Waste

Efficiency in logistics goes beyond just packaging and transportation. Streamlining operations to reduce waste is a critical component of green logistics. Implementing lean management techniques can help identify areas where resources are being used inefficiently, leading to significant reductions in energy use and waste generation. Moreover, embracing a circular economy model where every product is recycled and reused to the fullest extent can transform waste into a valuable resource, thus supporting environmental sustainability.

Smart Warehousing Solutions

Modern warehousing involves more than just storing goods. Energy-efficient warehouses equipped with smart systems for lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning can reduce energy consumption significantly. Additionally, installing solar panels or other renewable energy sources can offset the energy use of these facilities, making them self-sustaining in terms of energy needs. Smart inventory management systems can further reduce waste by improving the accuracy of stock levels, reducing overproduction, and minimising the risk of goods expiring or becoming obsolete.

Collaboration and Compliance

No single company can shift the tide towards sustainability alone. Collaboration among businesses, suppliers, and customers is essential. Sharing best practices, pooling resources for sustainability projects, and joint ventures in green technology can lead to substantial environmental benefits. Additionally, compliance with international standards and local regulations not only ensures that companies meet legal requirements but also assures consumers that the businesses they support are committed to environmental stewardship.

The Business Benefits of Embracing Green Logistics

Adopting green logistics does not only benefit the environment but also offers tangible business advantages. Companies that invest in sustainable supply chain practices often see reduced operational costs over time, thanks to savings on materials, waste disposal, and energy. Moreover, positioning as a sustainable business can enhance brand loyalty and attract new customers, particularly those who are environmentally conscious. Furthermore, companies that take proactive business action for clean air and other environmental initiatives are often viewed more favourably by investors and potential business partners.

The transition to green logistics is not merely a trend but a necessary evolution of the supply chain management paradigm. As the demand for more sustainable business practices grows, logistics must adapt to meet these expectations. By taking decisive business action for clean air and committing to sustainable supply chain practices, businesses not only contribute positively to the environment but also secure a competitive edge in the increasingly eco-conscious market. The journey towards green logistics is complex and challenging, but it is undoubtedly rewarding and essential for the long-term sustainability of our planet.
