Even on the gloomiest, murkiest, cloud-filled day, somewhere in the sky above us is the sun.

A free source of energy that all life on this planet depends upon.

 

In terms of power production, it is a free resource that heats our homes naturally, encouraging most homes and buildings to be designed with larger windows on the side of the building that faces the sun. This is done to capture more of the heat from the sun.

But for many years now, there has been the ability for homeowners to gain even more benefits from the power of the sun by installing solar panels. The solar panels create electricity which can be used to not only heat the home, but to power every electrical item on the homeowners property.

The disadvantages of solar panels are few, but include:

• The high upfront cost of installation
• Power can’t be produced at night-time
• Some would say they make a house appear less attractive
• Most homes are still unable to use solar power for 100% of their power needs.
• Some homes have a roof design that cannot fit solar panels
• Some roofs are unsuited to fitting solar panels or will not hold their weight, while other roofs may need repairs which are preferable to do before installing solar panels.

When it comes to the advantages of Solar Power systems on your home, there are many convincing reasons why you should seriously consider going solar.

Reduce your electricity bill

How much you will save will depend on a number of factors including:

• How much electricity you consume?
• The size of your solar energy system
• Whether you buy or lease your system
• How many hours of daily sunlight your home receives?
• The size and angle of roof
• Your local electricity rates.

Most solar panels are guaranteed to last for 25 years so you can expect them to keep functioning beyond that, although they may gradually become degraded and produce less electricity towards the end of their life.

Still if your solar system managed to reduce your monthly electricity bill by $150/month, after 25 years that is a saving of $45,000. Electricity costs will almost certainly increase regularly over the next 25 years, so in fact your saving could be significantly more.

Your solar panel power suppliers should have tools available to help you calculate how much electricity you are likely to save based on your electricity usage and the size of the solar system you intend to install. 

These tools can calculate how many years it will take for your savings to match the installation cost, plus any interest if you have borrowed to buy the system.

Increases the value of your home

Because of how much cheaper it will cost to run your home; you immediately get an increase in the value of your home.

Studies have proven that houses with solar sell at higher prices than houses without solar.

How much your home increases will depend upon the monthly power savings, the increased value of other nearby homes with solar, and the state of the local property market at the time you get a valuation.

Although you will only really know how much extra the solar panels have added to the value of your home when you sell, this is a positive.

Some people decide against installing solar because they don’t intend to stay at the same address for 25 years and therefore will not fully benefit from the power savings available.

But this is offset by the increased value of your home.

Unless you are planning to shift in the next couple of years, the increase in the value of your home because of solar should be another incentive to install solar.

Solar power works everywhere

The sun rises everyday everywhere in the world.

Sure, some places get more sunshine hours than others, and some have better weather and more cloudless days which maximizes the benefits of solar. But even homes in colder and cloudier climates can still receive help from solar.

Even on days when the weather is poor, your home will still be producing solar power.

You may be able to earn money off your solar panels

More than 40 states have electricity suppliers that offer net metering. Where you produce more electricity than you use, the power company effectively buys that surplus electricity off you and pays you for it.

Be cautious about this though. In Australia, some power companies ran into financial problems because they ended up buying so much power off homeowners, they didn’t need to produce any themselves and the financial model failed.

Many homeowners had borrowed to put additional solar panels on their property, using them solely as a passive income source, then the power companies stopped buying the surplus power. This made the extra solar panels redundant, but they still had to pay back their loans on solar panels that were no longer of any use to them.

In the same way, there is no guarantee that the amount of money the power company will pay you for surplus power will remain the same. In other countries there have been power companies that have lowered their rates.

Therefore, you are best to get enough panels to suit your home power use and not be encouraged to buy more panels just because you have the space and because you might get offered net metering.

Available tax credit

For 2022 there is a 26% federal tax credit available, which reduces to 22% for 2023, then ends.

There are also some state-level tax credits and rebates available. Solar panel providers will know all the details because these incentives are a major selling point for them.

While the tax credits seem like a great deal, if you can’t afford to buy solar panels now, delaying a few years until you can buy them outright, or with much lower borrowings, may actually be a better financial decision.

Protects against rising power costs

The more power you can produce from your solar panels, the less the impact of any future electricity power increases.

Can supply energy independence.

For many people, the ideal is to be totally dependent on their solar system to provide all of their power and go off-grid. Usually, this will require the added cost of batteries to store your power for use at night and on days with less sunlight.

If you are building in a remote location, the cost of getting a power supplier to bring an electricity line to you may be more than the cost of a solar system and batteries.

A system with batteries is also handy if there are any electricity cuts. Your stored power will keep your lights on, and your heating etc.

But you do need to be confident that your system will always supply all the power you need, because if you run out of power and the batteries have used up all their stored power, then being off grid means you will have no source of power until the sun reappears.

You are protecting the environment

Every kilowatt of power your solar system produces will reduce greenhouse gas emissions like CO2 and other pollutants. 

The more people creating their own power through solar will end the need for governments to build new power plants, all of which have negative environmental impacts because they are powered by coal, natural gas, hydro, or nuclear plants.

Coal plants are a huge pollutant, while gas, hydro-electric and nuclear plants all have an impact either because of what it takes to build the plant, or what can happen if something goes wrong, e.g., Chernobyl and Three Mile Island nuclear plants.

Solar Panels provide a clean, green power source that most homeowners can take advantage of to reduce their power costs, and do their bit to improve the state of the environment.

Online gambling addiction is not just a problem affecting Japan. Many people in the world are increasingly struggling with the consequences of problem gambling. Addicts either do not want or are not sufficiently informed about the possibilities of treatment. Sometimes they simply do not have the support of friends, family, spouses, colleagues, or other close people. That is why we want to deal more extensively with the issue of gambling addiction in Japan.

What is gambling addiction and which are the main consequences?

Pathological gambling, i.e. gambling addiction, represents the impossibility of controlling the impulse for placing bets. Compulsive gambling or disorder related to online casino services can have many negative consequences both for the addicts themselves and those around them. First, an addict has no control over spending money, which can lead to financial disaster. A person with pathological gambling problems is very often inclined to borrow money from others to continue financing further casino activities.

In addition to the consequences for the bank account, compulsive placing bets can damage mental and physical health. Psychological consequences are anxiety, depression, the feeling of helplessness, and others. Some of the consequences for physical health are migraines, intestinal disorders, etc. To emphasize how significant the consequences of casino gambling addiction are, we must note that certain categories of addicts are also prone to suicide. That is why a timely reaction is very important.

Myths and facts related to gambling disorder

Now we’re going to introduce you to some of the gambling addiction facts that refute some of the famous myths.

Myth: People with gambling disorders are easy to spot.

Fact: Pathological gambling is a “hidden addiction”, and people who have these problems deliberately hide them. The symptoms of gambling addiction are not easy to recognize, which is not the case with recognizing drug or alcohol disorders.

Myth: To be considered an addict, a person must place bets every day.

Fact: A person does not have to participate in gambling activities every day to develop an addiction. Frequency is not as significant as bad impact and consequences. If someone’s spending in a casino causes financial, psychological, health, or other difficulties then he/she is considered a problem gambler.

Myth: Japanese problem gamblers are included in all casino services.

Fact: Most problem gamblers have a favorite casino game that makes them addicted. In addition, some are involved in secondary casino activities that are not so problematic for them. For example, a player can be addicted to roulette, but occasionally play poker that does not cause excessive spending.

Myth: Financial problems are the main reason why someone’s love, family, or other relationships are destroyed.

Fact: If the addict supports the family, uncontrolled spending will certainly play a huge role in damaging the relationship. However, mistrust and constant lying is the main reason for the breakdown of relationships with family, friends, or spouses.

Mayor signs of gambling addiction 

There are several signs and symptoms of online gambling disorder. If the addict’s environment recognizes them in time, treatment could very quickly lead to positive results. Main signs of gambling addiction may include:

1. Preoccupation and constant thinking and planning of future casino activities
2. A person tends to increase the amount of money they enter into bets
3. Increasing the investment of money leads to feelings of excitement and satisfaction
4. Chasing what was previously lost – constant investment to reduce previously incurred costs
5. Inability to control spending, reduce or stop gambling
6. Irritability, discomfort, or nervousness when a person tries to resist the urge to place a bet
7. A person resorts to gambling when she/he feels dissatisfied, depressed, and anxious
8. Covering up gambling and lying to family, friends, work colleagues, and others
9. Making loans that the person knows will not be able to be repaid

Treatments that have proven to be successful

There are several treatments for gambling addiction help that have proven successful so far. The first treatment is psychotherapy. As the main therapy with the greatest success, we will emphasize behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy affects the addict’s skills to reduce the urge to gamble. Another type of this therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy. It implies the identification of negative beliefs and their replacement with positive ones. Family therapy stands out as another successful therapy for helping problem casino participants.

Self-help groups are also a way for gamblers in Japan to deal with their disorder by talking to others. The experiences of others can help a person understand problems and decide to deal with them. A healthcare professional can refer an addict to self-help groups, such as Gamblers Anonymous and others. Finally, we will mention medicines that cannot be taken without a prescription. Medications include antidepressants and mood stabilizers that can help treat disorders associated with problem gambling, like depression or anxiety. Before taking any drug, a person should consult a doctor or psychologist.

Gambling addiction help and recovery

If a person undergoes some type of treatment, it is necessary to persevere in it. Patience is the key to success in solving addiction problems as well as other life difficulties. Therefore, it is not only significant to react promptly but also to persevere in preventing the addict from recidivism. But what to do with those who simply do not want help and recovery? Is it possible to persuade a person to recover? The answer is no.

According to statistics, it is estimated that more than 80% of people suffering from online gambling addiction simply do not want to undergo any kind of treatment. They don’t ask for help, no matter how difficult their problem is. However, there is another side of the coin. These are the people who underwent treatment, but it turned out to be unsuccessful. Gambling addiction recovery statistics reveal that 70% of addicts eventually return to gambling activities after receiving help.

Tips for family, spouses, and friends

Friends, family, colleagues, and others close to the person with problematic behavior play a big role to resolving casino gambling addiction problems. So, we have prepared some tips for them:

• Realize that the treatment can take a long time and be patient until the first results appear. Do not give up after the first unsuccessful attempt.
• Do not avoid conversations and include all family members and other close people in solving the problem. If necessary, children should be included in family therapy.
• When discussing gambling problems, try to remain calm and without aggressive and angry performances.
• Feel free to seek the help of a psychologist for professional advice or to include the addict in a self-help group where he can share experiences with others who have similar problems.
• Set boundaries regarding family finances. Do not allow the addict to use money freely and always have it at his disposal. 

 

If you’re divorced or no longer in a relationship with your child’s father, you may face some co-parenting challenges. This can be the case even if your relationship with the father is relatively amicable. Whether this is the case or there are tensions, there are certain steps you can take to make things smoother.

Communicate

Working out a way to communicate effectively is important, even if you only ever talk to one another when there needs to be some kind of change of plan, such as saying that you’ll be late for a pickup. Some parents agree to use a certain method, such as texting, to reduce the likelihood of arguments. Try to avoid getting drawn into any conflicts and keep your conversations factual if this is an issue. Avoid the temptation to ask your kids to carry messages back and forth, even if you dislike communicating with your ex. Ideally, you and your ex might even be able to come to an agreement on certain ground rules, such as when bedtimes are. This can help you find peace and even simply get a better night’s sleep during the times that you are away from your children.

Consider College Costs

Although child custody agreements generally only address issues with children up to the age of 18, some parents may want to include additional provisions, such as what kind of contributions each of you will make toward the child’s college education. If this is not part of your formal custody agreement, you may still want to discuss it with the father. The two of you still might want to contribute to an education fund. If you are concerned about having enough money for tuition and other expenses and also about your child being saddled with bills, you might want to look into taking out low-rate Private Parent Loan to help them out with reducing their education debt after graduation so they’re in a better financial situation starting out in the real world.

Encourage a Relationship

In most cases, it’s a good idea to encourage your child’s relationship with the other parent and set aside your own emotions. This can be tough, and you may struggle with reminding yourself that differences in how you parent doesn’t mean that you can’t both be effective and loving with your kids. You should try to be positive about your child spending time with their father and try to get rid of negative energy even when you feel frustrated, such as if they are late or a no-show for an agreed upon visitation. Otherwise, you risk making your child feel anxious or as though they have to choose between the two of you. You might even push them away.

Take the Long View

One thing to keep in mind is that you and the other parent will probably be a part of one another’s lives for years, if not decades. You may have to see one another at events such as graduations and weddings, and when you do, the focus should be on supporting your kids and not on the tension between the two of you. Therefore, the sooner you are able to be in the same place amicably the better. However, even if it takes years, parents can move from a high conflict co-parenting relationship to one that is much more functional.

 

A parent has to face many challenges in raising their children. One of the significant challenges is making sure the child is on the right path regarding his studies. When your child starts coming home with mixed grades or scores that are below average, it is enough reason for concern. Having poorer marks means he does not understand what is taught in class. If a student doesn’t perform to his absolute abilities in middle and high schools, he will face difficulties getting into a good grad school. Therefore, as a parent, you must intervene and help your child achieve higher grades. Continue reading this article to learn more about how you can help your child score better marks during school tests.

Create A Routine

Studies show that children respond better to structures and routines. Therefore, a parent must help their child to formulate a system and stick to the same. A routine will instill a sense of discipline for the student, which will bear fruitful results. The routine should be flexible enough so that the child has enough space to be creative. If he follows this pattern for a few weeks, it will be easier for him to concentrate on his studies without distractions.

Set An Example

If you advise your child to study hard and at the same time watch TV for hours together, your child will refuse to take your advice. Children tend to follow their parents and copy the behavior of the grown-ups. Therefore, you must set up an example by picking up a book instead of watching TV. If the child sees you working instead of being lazy, he will also focus on his work.

Remove Distractions

These days, it is easier for kids to get distracted. Whenever they decide to study, a new announcement may pop up on their mobile screen. The notification forces them to check the social media and waste precious study time. Screen addiction is real, and the sooner the parents recognize the problem, the easier it will be to get rid of the same.

• Digital Gadgets and devices are part of the online study system these days. Therefore, one cannot get rid of all the digital gadgets from the study space. A student must rely on a computer, speakers, wifi, and other tools to continue his blended learning format that incorporates online studies with a more traditional education format.
• Install the applications on your child’s computer that help block specific sites and applications. For example, if your son spends too much time surfing on a particular gaming website, you can decide to block the same to help reduce his online gaming time. Parents need to step up and use the smart tools to reduce unnecessary distractions to help their child get better marks in the examination.
• 

Hire A Tutor or Make Use Of Education Websites

At times, students require additional help to understand a subject better. Ideally, a parent should make time to help his son/daughter with their studies. But with the busy work schedule, many times, it is hard for a parent to monitor their child’s studies. Therefore, a private tutor might just be one solution to the problem.

For students who want to study by themselves, utilize websites that provide educational resources. One example is Revision Village for students struggling in IB Math.

Abdominal discomfort is a pain from the abdomen that could be caused by muscle strain, stress, overeating, wind, constipation, or something severe that needs emergency attention. With the countless number of medications available for abdominal discomfort, some people may have difficulty selecting the right drug for their discomfort. Atrantil is a wonder drug that can help you ease your pain.

Atrantil is formulated as a nutraceutical that can relieve of constipation, abdominal discomfort, and symptoms of bloating. Over the years, many people who complained of such symptoms often do not have a drug that treats them as the source of their problem. Atrantil is unique because it concentrates on bacteria that stay in our gut.

The elimination of such bacteria in our gut makes it easier for the body to experience a healthy, sterile abdominal state. While most drugs require a prescription before you buy, Atrantil can be bought over the counter. The drug is not antibiotic or a probiotic.

What Ingredients are in Atrantil?

Atrantil is a popular nutraceutical formulated with natural botanical extracts like saponin, polyphenol, and an anti-spasmodic. The ingredients used in Atrantil are commonly found in our food supply.

We can define nutraceutical as any substance that we consider as part of our food that offers us health benefits. Nutraceuticals range from dietary supplements, isolated nutrients, and diets to herbal products, genetically engineered foods, and processed foods such as beverages, soups, and cereals.

 

How Does Atrantil Work?

People who suffer from symptoms of constipation, abdominal discomfort, or bloating need fast relief. Thanks to this, atrantil is great for IBS. The first thing that Atrantil does to such people is to stop the gas-producing bacteria found in their guts. The aim of Atrantil’s ingredients is to synergically soothes the troubled gut and eliminates the bad bacteria from our digestive system. The drug works in three steps to stop the source of our abdominal pain. 

Step 1

M. balsamea Willd extract or peppermint leaf soothes the small bowel. When the small bowel is calmed, it offers the other natural botanicals the opportunity to function effectively.

Step 2

Atrantil contains flavonoids extracted from Quebracho, which is a South American hardwood tree. Flavonoids starve the gut of hydrogen and make the environment unhealthy for the archaebacteria. When there is a lack of hydrogen, the cell walls of the bacteria weaken.

Step 3

The last ingredient in Atrantil is a natural antibacterial extracted from Conker Tree. The ingredient attaches itself to the reductase enzyme in the weakened cells of the archaebacteria. The result is the prevention of the production of methane.

Who Can Take Atrantil?

People who suffer from bloating after they consume their food may want to try Atrantil. How does the body suffer from bloating? When bacteria in the body’s small bowel consume carbohydrates in patient’s absorbed food, they produce methane. Methane in the small bowel ends up causing the stomach to bloat.

When you consume Atrantil, the three-step elimination process happens, which includes weakening the bacteria cell walls and starving them of hydrogen to produce methane. Hence, the bacteria cannot form bloats in your abdomen.

Maintenance Dose 

Many people want to know the dose they can take to calm their abdominal discomfort. You can take two capsules of Atrantil daily to maintain a healthy gut. In addition, the drug ensures that you experience a digestive balance. Atrantil contains polyphenols and antioxidants that help the body enjoy overall digestive wellness.

Digestive Health Benefit of Atrantil 

The gut harbors countless bacteria that can be bad or beneficial to the body. If the immunity is low, the bad bacteria take over the gut and cause problems like soreness of the throat and other painful problems. However, when we consume healthy diets rich in polyphenols, the bacteria are reduced. When we suffer from abdominal discomfort and take Atrantil, its polyphenols work to protect the gut.

We can tell you that Atrantil works to improve the overall digestive system wellness. However, if you have an underlying medical condition or other abdominal pain prescription, you should talk to your doctor. 

Atrantil can help people suffering from small intestinal bacteria overgrowth (SIBO). This condition happens when the body experiences the excessive presence of bacteria in its small intestine. You can suffer from bloating, constipation, or diarrhea when SIBO happens. However, taking Atrantil helps you bring your stomach to normalcy.

The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) reports that the THC content of cannabis resin now averages between 20 and 28 percent, almost twice that of cannabis flower. However, the THC content of cannabis flowers remains as high as before.

Cannabis products with a high THC content are now available in Europe, as well as new forms with added synthetic cannabinoids sold on the illegal market. They exist alongside a range of products that contain cannabis extracts but have a low HCT content and are commercially available.

This data is included in EMCDDA’s European Medicines Report 2021, which expresses concern about the increasing number of reports of cannabis contaminated with artificial cannabinoids.

The cause of this trend is unknown, but may be due to both the shortage of cannabis associated with the pandemic and, in some countries, the availability of low-THC cannabis products that are difficult to distinguish from cannabis sold on the drug market, the report said.

New illegal distribution channels

The EMCDDA has been monitoring the drugs situation in Europe for more than 25 years. The annual report on trends and developments is based on information provided by the EU Member States, Turkey and Norway, and provides a high-level overview of the drugs issue in Europe, covering all aspects from supply to use, public health issues and drugs policy and control. However, the UK is not included in the analysis of the 2021 report because it left the EU on 1 January. February last year.

The report shows that coronavirus-related travel restrictions and border closures have not curbed the activities of smugglers worldwide. Illegal producers and suppliers quickly adapted to the pandemic controls by moving their operations to the Internet and finding new supply and distribution channels.

The 60-page document states: Efforts to maintain social distance may have hurt the retail drug trade, but they seem to have led to a wider adoption of new technologies to facilitate drug distribution, which may have accelerated the trend in recent years toward an increasingly digital marketplace.

The report notes that in 2020, cannabis cultivation and the production of synthetic drugs in the European Union have remained at pre-pandemic levels, with ever larger quantities of drugs being transported by sea to avoid the closure of land borders, which – along with heroin – has led to large seizures at European ports.

COVID-19 and consumption

Cannabis herb and cannabis resin accounted for the majority of reported drug seizures in the EU in 2019, at 37% and 36% respectively. In comparison, cocaine accounted for 11%, amphetamines 5%, other substances 4%, heroin and MDMA 3% and cannabis plants 1%.

The report notes a trend toward local cannabis production, in part due to anti-establishment measures.

Based on data from 26 countries that conducted the survey between 2015 and 2020, it is estimated that cannabis use last year averaged 15.4 percent among EU citizens aged 15 to 34, ranging from 3.4 percent in Hungary to 21.8 percent in France.

When only young people aged 15 to 24 were considered, the prevalence of cannabis use was higher: 19.2% (9.1 million) had used in the past year and 10.3% (4.9 million) in the past month.

However, cannabis use among 15- to 16-year-olds has declined, the report said. Among the 24 EU Member States participating in the 2019 European School Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD), the prevalence of cannabis use among 15- and 16-year-old school students ranged from 7% to 23%, with a weighted average of 17.3%. This is down from a peak of 20.4% in 2011.

In 2019, EU Member States reported 326,000 cannabis resin seizures, or 465 tonnes, and 313,000 cannabis herb seizures, or 148 tonnes. Turkey also reported 6,200 seizures of 28 tons of cannabis resin and 64,000 seizures of 63 tons of cannabis herb.

New findings relating to psychoactive substances

The EMCDDA report also shows that traffickers and manufacturers are not just selling the traditional basic drugs – cannabis, cocaine and heroin. Approximately 400 new psychoactive drugs were discovered on the market in 2019.

New powerful synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic opioids continue to emerge and pose a threat to health and society, the report said.

Reports of cannabis adulterated with new synthetic cannabinoids such as MDMB-4in-PINACA being sold to unsuspecting users point to the new and potentially increasing risks of unintended use of these potent substances.

New dosage forms of synthetic cannabinoids, including e-liquids and impregnated cigarette papers, are increasingly appearing on the drug market.

Worryingly, they are more common among 15- and 16-year-olds.
