Advantages of using Windows Live Writer
Blogging directly on your website has many drawbacks
. As an example, changing the font directly on your WordPress powered website is not a straight forward issue. Using Live Writer gives you the chance to specify the font in a click and preserve your font choice when publishing. It is very hard to drop shadows for pictures directly on your website. Live Writer makes it a piece of cake.
Writing alternate text for images directly from your WordPress blog is hectic. Live Writer gives you the chance to do it easily. Live Writer gives you the ability to specify a category for your post or add a new category directly without publishing it uncategorized first. Setting tags with Microsoft Live Writer is fun. The more tags you use the easier it becomes as it memorizes them for later use. Add to that, Live Writer automatically saves what you are writing every five seconds reducing the probability to lose your work in case of a sudden internet disconnect.
Copying and pasting from word documents preserve every single character position, size and font. Even tables can be copied. Tables characteristics and content can be edited in a friendly environment. Moreover, images can be copied, pasted and edited primarily.
Spelling mistakes cannot be automatically recognized when publishin
g on WordPress unless you are using a web browser that supports such a service. Live Writer checks every single word and predicts the correct word. Linking in Live Writer is a matter of a button.
An amazing thing Microsoft Live Writer can do is the simple editing dedicated for long posts. Lets say that you have a very long post. Using your browser to edit requires downloading it all first, editing it then uploading it all again. Microsoft Live Writer uploads the edited part only saving time and bandwidth. Moreover, after writing very long posts, press the publish button and take a nap as Live Writer will post it for you.
Live Writer gives you the ability to preview your blog even when you are offline by downloading the blog theme automatically when it first recognizes it. Recognizing happens only once. You can know exactly how your blog will look before publishing it. The html source can be viewed and edited without waiting a second.

Sizing:
The aim of this procedure is to determine the size of the solar array and battery capacity. These parameters can be estimated using the simplified formulas described below. The first steps are to consider the solar radiation available (Ei) abd calculate the daily consumption (Ed)
Solar radiation Ei:
The solar radiation is expressed in Watt-hour per square meter per day (KWh/m2/d). The radiated energy available depends on the geographical location of the site.
Daily consumption Ed:
Ed is obtained by multiplying the electrical power by the daily running time of the load. The simplified daily consumption formula:
Ed = P x T
Ed: daily consumption (Wh/d)
P: rated power in watts (W)
T: running time in hours per day (h/d)
Solar Sizing Pc:
The simplified solar array formula:
Pc = Ed/(0.6 x Ei)
Pc: solar array peak power (Wp)
Ed: daily consumption (Wh/d)
Ei: solar radiation (KWh/m2/d)
Battery Sizing C:
The simplified formula:
C = (Nd x Ed)/(dp x V)
C: battery capacity (Ah)
Nd: requested autonomy in days (d)
dp: Discharge coefficient (percentage of discharge at the end of autonomy)
dp = 0.8 for solar batteries
dp = 0.6 for industrial batteries
dp = 0.5 for car batteries
V: operating voltage (V)
Sizing Calculation Example:
What size generator is required tp power a 94 W street light system running 10h/day under 24V in Oganda?
Ei = 4.62 for Hermel area
The daily consumption is
Ed = 94 x 10 = 940 Wh/d
The requested solar array is
Pc = 940 /(0.6 x4.62) = 339 Wp
And the battery capacity is ( 3 days autonomy )
C = (3d x 940)/(0.8 x 24) = 146.8 Ah per 12 V battery

Facebook
|
Facebook for iphone is an easy way to connect with your friends avoiding the long way of having to open facebook through safari. However, this flexible application has some drawbacks:>There is no access of groups and applications.
>In the profile layout, there is no user newsfeeds of recent activity. (This means that you always have to open the full site for recent activity viewing.)
>There is no access to privacy or account setting. (You cannot change your password, control your privacy settings, or change your account settings.)
>There is no way you can directly upload photo albums. (Well, you can through facebook up-loader which in fact cannot enable you to design multiple albums but upload individual photos.) |
