Tata Power lights up two villages in Maharashtra with solar energy

2012-06-07 14:03:19 | led light

Two villages in Maharashtra which had no electricity till now have been linked up by Tata Power's solar power initiative.Contemporary adjustable and contemporary lighting and ceiling lights.

Tata Power Community Development Trust has provided power to about 50 households in Limbarvadi and Bhadaskonda of the Mulshi region in Pune.

Tata Power said the project is an effort to implement the Nabard (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) scheme for solar energy-based home-lighting systems.Shop online for Chandelier, led auto bulbs, china car led bulb, car led lamps and auto led flashlight. The cost for a household is between Rs 16,000 and Rs 26,000, based on consumption.
FUNDING

The entire funding, training, operation and maintenance of the project are by the villagers themselves. The beneficiaries are eligible for 40 per cent subsidy. Tata Power said it was only a facilitator to tie up with Nabard for the government subsidy and banks for loans.

The initiative is aimed at empowering the network of self help groups (SHGs) to avail themselves of the solar energy-based home-lighting systems for communities.

As the network of SHGs has mostly women, the project has been designed to empower the womenfolk. Training programmes have been conducted for the beneficiaries and trainees.

The SHGs will run the scheme, employ two persons and be responsible for repayment of the loans. A large number of communities in these villages fall below the poverty line.

Tata Power said the project will contribute a token amount to the cost borne by each household, apart from the government subsidy.The Rosewill RSL-100 Solar LED bulbs manufacturer offer super bright white LED to any garden or backyard using the power of the sun.

Mr S. Padmanabhan, Chairman of the Trust and Executive Director (Operations), Tata Power,We are the best solar street light,マジコン,led light manufacturer,supplier in China. said, “This year, Project Suryaprakash (the solar power intiative) aims to light up 1,000 households of various communities in Maharashtra.”

Consultant Cathy Staniford, a partner in Management Partners, advised the City Council to adopt a long-term replacement schedule for Seal Beach vehicles and equipment. Staniford said the council should move $310,000 a year from the general fund to the vehicle replacement fund.

Staniford said Seal Beach has 96 vehicles. Police patrol units should be replaced every four years or every 100,000 miles. She said lifeguard pick up trucks should be replaced every five years because of exposure to salt in the air. She said most other pick up trucks could be replaced every 10 years. She said one of the reasons her firm recommended replacing vehicles based on mileage was because Seal Beach is a small city.

Crumby said Seal Beach Pier projects had been delayed due to uncertainty about the possible remodel of Ruby’s restaurant, which is located at the end of the pier. The Ruby’s lease expires in October.

Crumby said staff proposed expanding the public gardens in Edison Park. Crumby said staff budgeted $10,000 for the garden project. He said staff would like to establish uniform-sized plots so the city can charge a uniform flat fee.

As for the Main Street Lighting Project, Crumby said members of the community had expressed a desire for low-level lighting with a softer impact for Main Street. He said the community wants a romantic ambiance. He said many requested electrical outlets on Main Street.Choose from hundreds of contemporary led tube, hanging pendant lights, and other modern lighting solutions in an array of colors and styles.


A Broadway Hangout, Old Chum

2012-06-04 14:14:09 | led light

IN a room deep below the streets of the Theater District last week, it looked as if a Broadway show was a few frantic days from opening night. Carpenters drilled as other workers huddled over a glowing iPad. The set designer John Lee Beatty stood atop a banquette staining a picture frame. The lighting designer Ken Billington watched while spotlights brightened and dimmed onstage. The producer Richard Frankel monitored the commotion.

But when cases of liquor were wheeled in on hand trucks and talk turned to herb sorbets, it became obvious that this was something else altogether.These striking, modern LED emergency lamps run on rechargeable batteries that are powered by the sun, The furrowed brows and barked orders were in preparation for the opening of 54 Below, a Broadway supper club for a Broadway crowd. On West 54th Street, below what was once the legendary nightclub Studio 54, where the hard-partying ghosts of the ’70s must still wander, 54 Below opens officially next week with a two-week engagement by Patti LuPone.

Its aim is to tilt the axis of the city’s unpredictably evolving cabaret world. It’s doing so with star power, deep pockets and ambitions to become “Broadway’s living room.”

There’s competition for that title of course. Broadway fans have choices in the neighborhood like Don’t Tell Mama and Birdland and, not much farther downtown, the Metropolitan Room,LEDs are used as indicator Solar LED Traffic signal light in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. among others.

New York’s cabaret scene was in flux when plans for 54 Below were announced in February, just after the Algonquin Hotel announced that it would close its supper club, the Oak Room, after 32 years. Could New York support a newcomer?

Sidney Myer, the longtime booking manager at Don’t Tell Mama, called 54 Below a “thrilling venture” that comes in tough economic times for many clubs in the city. He said that if good business sense was a motivating factor in 54 Below or any other new club in New York, “no cabaret would open.”

As 54 Below readies for its debut — a soft opening is planned for Sunday night with a show by the comedian Jackie Hoffman — the producer Tom Viertel said it was keeping firmly in mind a cardinal rule of writing for the theater: Know your audience.

“We want it to be home for virtually anyone on Broadway and the people who love Broadway,” said Mr. Viertel, who owns 54 Below with Mr.The Rosewill RSL-100 Solar LED bulbs manufacturer offer super bright white LED to any garden or backyard using the power of the sun. Frankel, Steven Baruch and Marc Routh, the producing team behind several hit Broadway musicals including “The Producers” and “Hairspray.”

“The cabaret scene is quite a good one these days,” Mr. Viertel said. “But we are going to be different, particularly in our orientation. The bigger rooms that we might compete with, the Cafe Carlyle and Feinstein’s, are on the East Side. We aim to be part of the world of Broadway.”

54 Below’s Broadway pedigree extends beyond its owners to the designers: Mr. Beatty and Mr. Billington are both Tony Award winners,We are the best solar street light,マジコン,led light manufacturer,supplier in China. and the sound designer, Peter Hylenski, is a Tony nominee. The architect is Richard H. Lewis, who collaborated on the restaurants Bond 45 and Brooklyn Diner with Mr. Beatty.

To help Mr. Beatty conceive the space,Shop online for Chandelier, led auto bulbs, china car led bulb, car led lamps and auto led flashlight. Mr. Viertel wrote him a story about a group of thieves whose hideaway morphs into a speakeasy. During a tour last week the story line was apparent in the space, which was still a work in progress. Patrons will enter the club by descending a long, dramatic staircase. In the main rectangular room the walls, chairs and artwork are saturated in deep shades of red, purple and brown, mixed with wood and leather. Shaded lamps light the booths.


New Minneapolis school district headquarters shine bright

2012-05-30 14:30:18 | led light

Its new neighbors hope the new Minneapolis school headquarters on West Broadway will be good for business. But school leaders' most prominent hope is that the twinned buildings will transform how school employees work.

The $41.7 million complex, which is nearing completion, marks the first time the Minneapolis district has built a headquarters, decades after St. Paul and Anoka-Hennepin, the other two big metro districts, built theirs.

The first employees are scheduled to move in six weeks into space at 1250 W. Broadway that projects a utilitarian image, in contrast with such government palaces as City Hall and the Hennepin County Government Center.

But judging by a preview tour Friday, it's light-years ahead of the rambling warren of offices in a former factory the district has occupied since the 1930s, a little more than 2 miles east on Broadway. The current space "kind of sucks the life out of you,Shop Pottery Barn for expertly crafted drum Lamp shade, large lamp shades and linen lamp shades." architect Tod S. Elkins said. The district sought a flexible, modern headquarters, but also one that wasn't too fancy for the tough economic times,LEDs are used as indicator LED bulb in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. he said.

The district reserved the frills for technology, not furnishings.Shop for トリーバーチ featuring deck, post, and wall lighting, flood lighting, and area lighting. There's no marble or granite, unlike the monuments to city and county government downtown. Floors are mostly finished in carpet squares of varying hues, with slate-like vinyl in some high-traffic areas.

The complex's technology reinforces the district's push to go as paperless as possible. Computers will have fewer printers. Desks will have fewer filing drawers. The district digitized and shredded more than 90,000 pounds of paper that it won't have to haul to the new quarters.

It's an open design intended to encourage collaboration. Meeting space was at a premium in the old headquarters, and trucks on Broadway or window air-conditioners sometimes drowned out discussion. The new space has dozens of conference spaces, many of them concentrated in a glass-walled link that connects a four-story building on Broadway with a five-story twin set behind it. But cubbyholes for two-person sessions also dot the complex.

The district and its contractors are aiming for gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council after setting out to get the silver level. Besides handling all of its stormwater on the site, the design maximizes natural lighting, uses movement-triggered lights that also adjust themselves for outside light, and flushes urinals with just a quart of water. Carbon dioxide monitors will adjust ventilation according to the number of people occupying space.

The district will even ban most small portable appliances,Affordable Solar garden lighting with ultra bright LEDs such as heaters and refrigerators, from individual cubicles, something it never could have done at the drafty 1914 onetime light-bulb factory it now occupies.

The complex will house some 600 workers, coming from four scattered buildings. The district projects it will spend $2 million less annually on administrative space by halving the amount of space those workers use. But with an expected 1,000 people a day using the space, counting adult basic education, employee training and school registration, demand for parking could exceed the supply, according to Mitch Trockman, a district's project team member. The district is reserving spots for carpools, encouraging employees to bus, and providing showers and lockers for bikers.

Many district residents visit its headquarters mainly to attend board meetings, and they'll get a boardroom that's plush only in comparison to the homely room now used. It's one-third bigger, with wiring to handle board meetings on the dais and less-formal discussion meetings.Shop Pottery Barn for a large selection of wall sconces, Led light and reading lamps.

What America’s Banana King Teaches Us About Capitalism

2012-05-30 14:28:51 | led light

Americans puzzling over the role of today’s powerful corporations — Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, Google — may profit from considering the example of the United Fruit Company.

It seems almost quaint to think that a company specializing in bananas might have once been considered a capitalist giant on the level of today’s firms, but so it was — at its height in the first half of the last century, United Fruit owned one of the largest private navies in the world. It owned 50 percent of the private land in Honduras and 70 percent of all private land and every mile of railroad in Guatemala.

There is the opportunity it offers for upward mobility.LEDs are used as indicator LED bulb in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Samuel Zemurray came to America from Bessarabia, in Western Russia, in 1892 at age 14 or 15, with nothing but his brain and ambition. He eventually took over United Fruit and made a fortune estimated at $30 million back in the days when that was a genuinely vast fortune. He lived in a New Orleans house with a third-floor ballroom complete with a pipe organ and a crystal chandelier; the building now serves as the residence of the president of Tulane University.

There is the efficiency. Zemurray got started in the banana business by figuring out how to distribute “ripes,” the freckled bananas that were thrown away as useless discards before Zemurray figured out the logistics of fast-moving rail distribution.

There is the bias-free marketing creativity. Mr. Cohen reports that United Fruit “stationed an agent at South Ferry terminal in New York, where the Ellis Island Ferry landed. Handing a banana to each immigrant who came off the boats, the agent said, ‘Welcome to America!’ This was to associate the banana with the nation.”

There is the egalitarianism. The banana companies figured out they could make more money by lowering prices and making bananas a fruit for mass consumption rather than a scarce and expensive luxury.

There is the technological innovation. Anyone laboring under the misapprehension that improvements in agricultural productivity are entirely the result of the federal Agriculture Department’s cooperative extension service can learn from Mr. Cohen’s account of Samuel Zemurray’s banana-farming innovations: selective pruning, silting, the use of spillways and canals for drainage,Shop Pottery Barn for a large selection of wall sconces, Led light and reading lamps. Add style to any room with expertly crafted wall sconces, lamps and wall ...Shop for トリーバーチ featuring deck, post, and wall lighting, flood lighting, and area lighting. staking, overhead irrigation.Lighting Creations offer a wide range of led tube for your home and garden.

There is the decentralization. When Zemurray took over United Fruit and turned it around, he told Fortune magazine, “I realized that the greatest mistake the United Fruit management had made was to assume it could run its activities in many tropical countries from an office on the 10th floor of a Boston office building.” Hayek would be proud.

And there are the philanthropic fruits of capitalism — Zemurray used his money and power to fund both Tulane university and the effort to help World War II-era Jewish refugees get to what became Israel.

And the United Fruit story also reminds us of some of the hazards when capitalism becomes cronyism. The book recounts all the Washington insiders hired by Zemurray as lobbyists, including Tommy “the Cork” Corcoran. A business that lives by Washington is finally at its mercy,The Rosewill RSL-100 Antique lamp offer super bright white LED to any garden or backyard using the power of the sun. as United Fruit learned when the antitrust cops came after it.


Thieves flee with 80-kg cupboard

2012-05-25 14:27:31 | led light

A group of burglars broke into the first floor home of a small-time diamond trader in Mahim and made away with an 80-kg iron cupboard sometime between 1am and 8am on Tuesday. The vault was found dumped near a nullah in Chunabhatti and valuables, including silver utensils and gold and diamond jewellery , worth Rs 21.5 lakh were missing. Cash to the tune of Rs 1 lakh was also gone, said the police.

The burglars struck at the residence of Dinesh Patel (50) in Kanti Building, Mahim. While Dinesh and his 20-year-old son shuttle between Mumbai and Surat because of their work, Dinesh's wife Jigisha (45), who is an LIC agent,Contemporary adjustable and led strip and ceiling lights. stays in the flat. The Patels were not at home at the time of the incident and were supposed to return to Mumbai from their native place on Wednesday.

The burglary came to light on Tuesday when the Patels' neighbour, Lata Parmar (39), found the door to their flat ajar. Parmar informed Patel and called up the police control room and lodged a complaint. Investigators reached the spot with sniffer dogs and forensic experts and retrieved at least five sets of fingerprints from the house.

In her statement, Jigisha said, "The valuables kept in the cupboard were family heirloom. They were gifted to me by my in-laws , who had received it from their in-laws ."

According to Jigisha, their son had visited the house on Saturday and found the valuables intact. He had left home for Surat after ensuring that all the doors and windows were locked properly.Extensive range of handcrafted T5 tube, unique designs in forged iron, natural brass, nickel and hand blown glass.

Confirming the burglary, senior inspector (Mahim ) Dashrat Patil said, "The thieves were unable to pick the triple lock on the door to the Patel residence and used cutters to break it open." Once inside the flat, the burglars broke open the bedroom door and decamped with the cupboard.

"We suspect the thieves used a tempo to take away the cupboard," said assistant inspector Bhagwan Kadam. "After stealing the valuables, they dumped the cupboard near a nullah opposite Labour Institute at Suman Nagar in Chunabhatti. A local spotted the cupboard and informed the police control room. We learnt about the cupboard after the local's tip-off was flashed on the police wireless network. It is kept at the Chunabhatti police station and will be handed over to us for further investigation after the formalities are complete," he said.

Investigators are surprised as to how the burglars managed to take the four-feet high and 80-kg cupboard from the first-floor flat to the waiting vehicle without alerting other residents of the threestorey building. "None of the residents claim to have heard any noise or spotted suspicious-looking persons enter or leave the building, which has no security guards," said an investigator.
