As a manufacturer and broker, the California solar firm can now offer customers panels with the highest efficiency rates currently available on the commercial market as well as source top local installers to complete the project.

More information is available at https://gradientsolarsystems.com

Gradient Solar Systems recommends prospective panel owners submit an application before April 14, 2023, in order to access the benefits of NEM 2.0 for the next 20 years. The earlier version of the program offers greater compensation for energy compared to the incoming system.

The company explains that rather than crediting producers for the retail price of their excess energy, the value of solar NEM 3.0 credits could be up to 75% lower. As such, it advises those interested in converting to solar should consider making the switch before April.

Alternatively, solar shoppers can consult with the firm to find an installer capable of fitting efficient batteries on their property. These renewable energy cells will store surplus power to be used when the household requires it, rather than returning it to the grid.

Homeowners interested in switching to solar can arrange a consultation with Gradient’s advisors, who will evaluate their property’s exposure to sunlight to ensure the installation can produce worthwhile returns. These solar consultations will also involve an assessment of the customer’s roof in order to recommend which type of system is appropriate, ranging from silicon solar panels to thin-film modules and flexible panels.

The brokerage will scour its network of solar panel installation and maintenance companies to find the right match for the customer, based on their budget and property requirements. Gradient can review local service providers and facilitate access to residential clean energy systems, as well as advise customers on which programs can offer them the best benefits.

A spokesperson for the company said, “Do you want solar panels in your home but don’t know how to install them properly? If so, call one of the best solar companies in California and we will connect you with reliable professionals who can provide solar installation at an affordable price for your home or business.”

The world-class spa offers a vast selection of waterless nail treatments, including pampering manicures and pedicures with hand, arm and foot massages and paraffin wax dips.

More information is available at https://www.penelopeandthebeautybar.com/

Penelope and the Beauty Bar has replaced gel manicures with Dazzle Dry polishes in order to maintain their status as a leader in natural, cruelty-free and vegan beauty.

As such, they have opted to make the switch to Dazzle Dry polishes, which are certified vegan and cruelty-free.

After taking victory in the opening round of the 24H Series campaign in Abu Dhabi, the trio came into the Mugello weekend at the top of the drivers’ and teams’ standings, and keen to build on their impressive start to the year.

Although a 12 Hour race in name, the uniqueness of the Mugello weekend was such that two races of six hours in length were run on consecutive days, with the aggregate across the two counting towards the final result.

Despite failing to reach the chequered flag on Sunday, the team was classified runner-up and collected more valuable points for the championship.

“It was a bit of a hard day today,” said Aliyyah post-race. “It started off well, but in the last 15 minutes during David’s stint, he said he had a problem with the clutch and had to stop the car and we weren’t able to pass the chequered flag. So that wasn’t easy, especially as we had a good strategy and were fighting for the win for the 12 hours. It’s hard to take that we had the problem in the last 15 minutes of a 12-hour race but at least we know the strategy was the right one.”

Free Practice and Qualifying

Things got off to the perfect start by topping free practice by almost a full second around the 5.245km circuit. That form continued into the three-part qualifying session, with the #416 Mercedes-AMG GT4 setting the fastest time in both the first and third sessions. The combined average qualifying time was just over three tenths of a second quicker than the second placed competitors.

Saturday Race (Hours 1-6)

Vrecky took the start and successfully maintained the lead of the race on the opening lap, even dicing briefly with faster Cup cars ahead of him early on. Once settled into a good rhythm, the #416 Mercedes kept up its pace but was forced to relinquish the lead after carrying out a precautionary brake change.

That unplanned time loss dropped the team several laps and down to third place but Vrecky and team-mates Lacko and Koloc reached the end of the six-hour first part of the race without any further issues.

Indeed, while luck was not on their side in the opening hour, it most certainly was come the halfway point of the weekend as both of the cars ahead encountered problems, which left the #416 leading heading into Sunday second segment.

“Today, there were a lot of mixed emotions, In the beginning things were going really well but we had to pit unexpectedly because of an issue with the brakes,” explained Aliyyah after the race. “So, we were behind by a couple of laps, but both cars in front of us also had problems so that brought us into the lead.”

Sunday Race (Hours 7-12)

Having inherited the lead on the final lap of Saturday’s first part of the race, the #416 should have started Sunday’s segment from pole position and with a one-lap advantage. However, the team elected to pull the car out of parc ferme and fitted new tyres.

Like Saturday’s opening salvo, Vrecky started and held a reduced lead over the chasing rival in second before swapping with Lacko, who drove an incredible stint to restore the team’s one-lap advantage at the head of the field.

The team had to overcome a number of challenges in the second part of the race, most notably several Code 60 interruptions which contributed to a somewhat stop-start nature. Aliyyah drove well during her time in the car and handed over to Vrecky in the closing stages as the team attempted to chase down the leaders for the class win. Unfortunately, the race ended in disappointment as a technical issue meant Vrecky had to pull off the circuit 15 minutes from the end, while running in second place.

Reflecting on the final result, Aliyyah said: “During my stint, there were some good and some bad moments, there were a lot of Code 60s. I had a bit of a scary moment when I braked and slipped on some oil, so this was not such a good moment. It was nice sharing the car again with David and Adam and I am already looking forward to Spa.”

The newly introduced emotional intelligence curriculum, “My Best Me”, teaches elementary students what it means to be hopeful and how hope can improve their classroom and life experience. The elementary-level program shows students how to effectively set goals, and how to create actionable pathways and build the willpower needed to achieve those goals.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/sample-text/

With its new curriculum, Hope Rising seeks to help create healthy communities within elementary school classrooms where students encourage and support one another and engage in respectful, open communication with their teachers. “My Best Me” uses scientific research on the power of hope and centers it around these five essential aspects of life: identity, health, community, environment, and economics.

Elementary school students often struggle to consistently manage their emotions in class, especially when they have gone through one or multiple adverse childhood experiences. Mismanaged emotions can lead to conflicts or fighting amongst classmates, disrespectful interactions with teachers, and other classroom disruptions that take away from learning time.

“My Best Me” teaches students how to develop and maintain habits that will support their physical, mental, and emotional health. By empowering students to take care of themselves and be accountable for their actions, the EI curriculum builds a foundation of personal power and positivity in students.

The importance of a healthy community is another concept highlighted in “My Best Me”. As such, it helps students learn how to understand their own identity and the essential part they play in creating a strong, collaborative community in the classroom and beyond.

About Hope Rising

Hope Rising is a curriculum developer that is dedicated to serving both teachers and students with its comprehensive emotional intelligence programs. The company strives to provide structural support with its fully developed, flexible lesson plans, as well as supplemental, individualized support in the form of teacher training, a collaborative teacher discussion group, and educational blog entries on the website. Hope Rising’s award-winning curriculum, “My Best Me”, can be used in kindergarten up through high school classrooms.

“While optimism is a wish, Hope is the power and motivation to make tomorrow better than today,” said one spokesperson for the company. “By teaching children this Hope in My Best Me, we add more to Emotional Intelligence as a whole and give students willpower to make every day better than yesterday because they have the Hope to make it so.”

By announcing its new EI curriculum, the organization intends to provide public school educators with a structured method for teaching students how to effectively manage their stress and emotions. “My Best Me” is a comprehensive program that provides students with the practical skills they need to overcome the negative effects of stress and optimize their learning capacity.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/

This newly announced program gives public school educators age and grade-appropriate assignments for teaching students essential psycho-social skills. “My Best Me” is highly interactive in design, featuring multimedia-filled lessons that bolster students’ collaboration, engagement, open communication, and participation in the classroom and beyond.

Recent studies show that at least 45% of United States public school students report feeling a consistently high level of stress. Stress can cause students to act out in a variety of ways, including creating class disruptions and conflicts with other students. Stress and anxiety also inhibit students’ ability to focus, which affects test scores, reading comprehension, and overall academic performance.

One of the five core concepts in the “My Best Me” program focuses on teaching students how to maintain their own physical, mental, and emotional health. In this part of the curriculum, students learn how to form healthy habits to mitigate their stress and focus on positive thinking. Another of the curriculum’s five core concepts teaches students how to understand their own identity and their role in relationships and the world around them. These practices have proven to lessen students’ stress by encouraging ordered thinking and emotion management.

About Hope Rising

As an emotional intelligence curriculum developer, Hope Rising relies on scientific research that explores the power hope has in improving students’ lives. The company received a 2020 Guidestar Gold Seal of Transparency for its dedication to inclusivity, equity, and diversity, as well as open and honest communication. On its website, Hope Rising offers samples of its curriculum, “My Best Me”, as well as a variety of original, educational blog posts.

“Having hope — which can be learned — has proven to reduce the negative impact of toxic stress and build resilience against adverse childhood experiences,” said one spokesperson for the company. “The program creates a superior learning environment allowing teachers to prioritize district goals and student needs.”

Honey Acres’ new report outlines the steps the company takes both internally and externally to comply with United States Food and Drug Association (FDA) and Safe Quality Food (SQF) standards regarding allergens in products. The report also discusses some of the other certifications that Honey Acres’ products have received.

More details can be found at https://honeyacres.com/blogs/common-questions/why-you-can-trust-honey-acres-to-be-allergen-free

According to Honey Acres, an estimated 32 million Americans suffer from a food allergy. 90% of these food allergies can be attributed to the FDA’s “Big Nine” allergens–milk, tree nuts, eggs, peanuts, fish, wheat, shellfish, soybeans, and sesame.

With its latest release, Honey Acres is hoping to build trust with their customers by sharing the processes they use to keep their products free of the Big Nine allergens.

Internally, Honey Acres follows good manufacturing practices (GMPs) and SQF allergen and gluten control procedures. These involve preventing allergen and gluten cross-contamination, regularly training employees about cross-contamination, and quarantining received shipments for inspection prior to release into the facility.

Externally, Honey Acres employs a rigorous supplier approval program. With this program, vendors are required to provide detailed information about their facilities, allergen and gluten control policies, and GMPs. Moreover, their shipments must come with product documentation and a Certificate of Analysis (CoA).

In addition, Honey Acres complies with all FDA standards regarding transparent labeling standards. Their products are also certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) and certified Kosher Pareve by Quality Kosher Supervision.

“Our honey-based products make life so sweet, and we want everyone to be able to enjoy them,” said a spokesperson for the company. “Every step of our production process includes the most rigorous standards to ensure high-quality, safe products. We do it because we care about every one of our customers as if they were our own family.”

About Honey Acres

A five-generation company, Honey Acres has been manufacturing and selling unprocessed honey-based products since 1852. All of their products are produced and jarred in-house and are available for purchase through both their online and retail stores. They also operate a honey museum.

The organization’s curriculum offers educators a fully-structured method for teaching students the psycho-social skills needed to improve their emotional intelligence and classroom etiquette. Educators can use “My Best Me” to complement their existing academic curriculum in one-hour blocks each week or tailor the program to fit their class schedule.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/

Following the announcement, Hope Rising wants to provide educators in public and private school environments with science-backed techniques for creating a respectful, positive dialogue between themselves and their students. Along with the curriculum, educators receive a teacher’s guide that includes an index with a material list, resource page, glossary, and more in-depth instructions on the company’s hope methodology.

Hope Rising’s curriculum comes to address results from recent statistics revealing that over half of the educators in the United States have reported feeling unsupported in their work, with one in four teachers considering resigning from the profession as a result. While many factors play into this issue, among them are the rate of class disruption and the immense need for disciplinary action, which cuts into learning time. Teachers often struggle to meet their educational goals because of unpredictable or even hostile classroom environments.

“My Best Me” has been developed to improve interpersonal skills for students and teachers alike, focusing on conflict resolution, communication skills, stress management, teamwork, and much more. Educators who use Hope Rising’s EI curriculum also get access to a private Facebook group where they can share ideas with other teachers, provide program feedback, and get additional training.

About Hope Rising

Hope Rising is an award-winning curriculum developer that is dedicated to supporting both students and educators with its hope-certified emotional intelligence programming. Its website offers a series of original blog articles on educator-centered topics, including how to choose the best EI program for a specific classroom budget and demographic, how to teach students to ask for help, and how to best connect with students.

“93% of teachers believe EI has a place in the classroom and for good reason,” said a spokesperson for the company. “EI helps students thrive but also helps create a more cohesive classroom environment through fewer disciplinary actions, increased academic performance, reduction in classroom disruption, and open communication.”
