120-Watt Portable Solar Pannel

It’s hard to beat the balance of quality, output and price with the Go Power! lineup. A division of Carmanah Technologies, Go Power! knows their 12v systems and features power offerings up to 480 watts for RV’s.

In their portable systems they’ve simply shrunk down the panels, added a sturdy suitcase design and made their easy to operate systems available in smaller wattages.

Offering monocrystalline panels shows the focus on quality.
An 10 amp LCD display PWM (pulse width modification) charge controller with hinge for easy readability, sturdy folding legs round and proven Anderson style connectors make this panel a safe investment.

While priced higher than similar power output panels (like SUAOKI 25W ) you’ll find the small things like wire size (10 awg), cord length (12’) and sturdy construction more than justify the added cost. We’ve been using our 120 watt panel for over a month as of this writing and we couldn’t be more pleased with the array.

So simple to operate, easy to setup/stow away and we get every bit of power promised and then some from the array! We average about 7.4 amps (12v) during full sun which is higher than the rated output. Can’t beat that!

The ballistics style carrying case is reassuring when stowing the array so as not to scratch or damage the glass which is exposed when the setup is folded for storage. A swing hinge on the charge controller is so helpful and makes reading the LCD display much easier without having to stoop and bend. The data output on the LCD is also helpful as you can roughly calculate the power you’ll capture that day and either ramp up power use during the day or conserve.

Overall we highly recommend this panel and feel for most people in the mid-range of power needs, budget and size this panel does it all.

Bushnell Game Camera Reviews

With one of the highest standards in the industry when it comes to making trail and game cameras, Bushnell continues to dominate by being the innovator rather than the follower. Game enthusiast from all over the world rave about their purchase and how long it has lasted them, and how even the smallest of features turns out to be useful and not just a random gimmick. At Bushnell there is no feature that goes unused, and the gimmicks are left to the other distributors and their marketing departments. Bushnell’s biggest competitor is Moultrie, a company that also produces high quality game cameras for the masses.

There is a rabid support base for both companies, with many users preferring one over the other for their own specific reasons. Both companies have the market cornered when it comes to wireless capability, and megapixels in game cameras are almost at the perfect quality. So with fewer features that need improving, how do you decide on which camera fits your style best? The below list will show some of the more popular cameras in Bushnell’s lineup as well as what makes them so special. Choosing any of these cameras will give you a product that has a quality guarantee for life. Also another trail camera brand is moultrie and it produce one of the best game camera MOULTRIE M-999I MINI GAME CAMERA
Bushnell brings a revolutionary range of trail cameras for the game enthusiasts. In their own words their cameras have “ruggedness and aggressive styling” that none of the other cameras in this class have – even compared to the popular Moultrie Game Cams?. They are made for a refreshing photography experience enhanced with the quality that Bushnell stands for.

Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam HD Wireless Black LED Trail Camera with Night Vision

This high priced wireless Bushnell incorporates some of the higher end features that one would expect from the brand. Improving on the basic designs of an earlier model, Bushnell created this version to be as near perfect as humanly possible from their famed older line. The end result is a product that is smooth in operation, easier on the user, and without any of the defects of older models. Using this model with a sim card is a breeze, with the setup process taking mere minutes to go through. By using a sim card with compatible service, consumers will get access to data sharing features that brings this cameras true purpose to light. An interface to control the camera from anywhere was implemented in both a web version and smartphone version, with both being similar in use so that you can seamlessly go from one application to another without having to relearn the features. It is a painless interface to use with the most common and most used commands right in front of you.

The shining point when using the interface is the remote connection which never drops due to how the packets are separated when they’re sent out. Less drops means better performance for you, and a lot less frustration when operating. Picture quality is maxed with the Hyper Passive Infrared Sensor that detects heat, and combines it with a motion sensor to give you the most detailed pictures and available without missing any important action out in the field, even when it is dark. Video capabilities include audio, and all at an HD resolution so it looks good playing back on a larger screen like your TV. All of these performance enhancements make it one of the more desirable cameras on the list, and all at a price that is tough to beat. You’ll be hard pressed to find many more cameras that work this well without being detected, so make sure to give this one a try and see what all the fuss is about.

Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam HD Bone Collector Edition Black LED Trail Camera


This mid-priced unit is an interesting design to camouflage it out in the field, but when you look past the look you’ll notice that the video and picture quality is one of the best full color resolutions you can get out of a camera this size. While delivering some of the best optics on the market, it squeezes out every inch of battery life possible, lasting up to a year on a single set of batteries. This is a revolutionary approach to balancing the strength of a camera while not overtaxing the battery to the point of draining it prematurely. With a blazingly fast trigger speed of 1 second, the camera doesn’t waste time in getting you the best shot possible without wasting a frame. The built in motion detector works in a range of about 45 feet, so it’s efficient enough to get you the best shots possible even while they are in fast motion.

The detail is stunning for a camera in this price range, and consumers will notice a big difference in pictures if they are coming from an older camera. Use of the field scan time lapse-technology is essential because it sets up pictures to be taking at a time interval between two captured images. This means less throw away pictures, and more of what you want in your shots. It also functions great when getting a correct field of view for analyzation purposes when hunting. Video and audio functions are also bundle with this camera, but are a little less incredible in quality than the Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam HD Wireless. That small tradeoff still doesn’t push this out of being one of the premier game cameras in the industry, and worth your money and consideration.

Bushnell 14MP Bandit Trail Camera

Another low priced trail camera for consumers to keep their eye on is the Bushnell 14MP Bandit Trail Camera with Night Vision and Field Scan, one of the premiere models from Bushnell. These models are built with performance in mind above all else, so expect an increased amount of efficiency from them and not a lot of fancy features. Battery life is 9 months, a bit shorter than the 1 year that has become a staple of the Bushnell brand. Up to 9 months is still a long time for the market though, and shows the power saving features of this smaller model to be in line with the others. Trigger speed is 1 second, and with a resolution of 8MP users can expect to see a great amount of quality in the photos it takes. You can opt to take photos in the 5Mp or 8MP mode, the former giving you the option to have more photos loaded on your device at a lower resolution. Videos are recorded at standard 640×480 resolution, and are pretty good up close and at a distance.

The company didn’t go cheap with the night vision, as buyers can expect the 36 LED’s to really do their job when it comes to night pictures, capturing on demand or by using the time lapse feature. There is support for SD cards up to 32 GB, so if users set the megapixels to 5 they will have an inordinate amount of space to use without having to worry about using the overwrite feature. The usual time stamp settings of temperature, time and date are included with each picture. This is a nice little economy trail camera that is built for performance, right down to its no nonsense design. Whether you need a main camera or want to use it as a backup, it is more than capable of handling both roles.

Generate a Pay Stub Easily

It's been a custom of company owners to always write pay checks for their employers directly from the checkbook of the business account. It's not being practiced by plenty of businesses, especially those who understand the strain of carrying out such activity directly from the company's account. There are also others who go to the length of opening a different account for the intent of using it for their worker's payroll so as to lessen the length and bulk of work done in calculating the taxes of workers. Even with these steps taken, most employees still need something more from the company; they want proof that they actually did earn a certain or provided sum and that specific deductions were made owing to certain factors, they want all these in written form. This is where it becomes necessary to create a pay stub. As it's a must that's required by workers, an employer would want to get the suitable software that will enable her or him to create it for his or her workers.

Why is so much importance being connected to a check stub?

Any one who asks this question is the correct path because it seems amazing to many persons why workers who've been contented all these years ago using handwritten checks today turn around to demand that their companies should pay stub generator, especially one that is precise and complete. The sole reason for this is just that the worker wants to make sure of what they are actually earning, the type of deductions being made and to ensure they're not being shortchanged.

If the deductions being made presently are just the ones for social security and federal taxes, then there would not have been any need for the paystub generator. The reality is that in this dispensation, a lot of deductions are being made from the payment which includes but not limited to federal, state and neighborhood levels taxation, medical care, insurance and other varied deductions. create a pay stubs will make it much easier for workers to know what really resulted in their monthly or annual salary not being up to this amount it ought to be.

How can one rightly create pay stub because of her or his organization?

Taking into account the importance of realpay stubs into the current day employees, one then goes to the next step of the way to generate the right real pay stubs for their employees. This solely relies on the brand of software that the employer is using in terms of accounting. There are several websites online where you could actually get a free template and a number of times for a minimal fee that will aid that specific company to a wonderful extent in real check stubs for his or her employees. It's important that the specific template one has selected to work with needs to be compatible with all the applications he or she's using.

Facebook's Solar-Powered Internet Drone Takes Flight

We all know solar products like Renogy 250 watt solar panel  and etc. but Facebook Inc. said on Thursday it had completed a successful test flight of a solar-powered drone that it hopes will help it extend internet connectivity to every corner of the planet. 

Aquila, Facebook's lightweight, high-altitude aircraft, flew at a few thousand feet for 96 minutes in Yuma, Arizona, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his Facebook page. The company ultimately hopes to have a fleet of Aquilas that can fly for at least three months at a time at 60,000 feet (18,290 meters) and communicate with each other to deliver internet access.

Google parent Alphabet Inc. has also poured money into delivering internet access to under served areas through Project Loon, which aims to use a network of high-altitude balloons to made the internet available to remote parts of the world.

Yael Maguire, Facebook's engineering director and head of its Connectivity Lab, said in an interview that the company initially hoped Aquila would fly for 30 minutes.

"We're thrilled about what happened with our first flight," Maguire said. "There are still a lot of technical challenges that need to be addressed for us to achieve the whole mission." He said he hoped the system might be brought into service "in the near future."

Zuckerberg laid out the company's biggest challenges in flying a fleet of Aquilas, including making the plane lighter so it can fly for longer periods, getting it to fly at 60,000 feet and creating communications networks that allow it to rapidly transfer data and accurately beam down lasers to provide internet connections.

Maguire said Aquila will go through several more test flights and hopes it will soon break the world record for the longest solar-powered unmanned aircraft flight, which currently stands at two weeks.

Facebook, which has more than 1.6 billion users, has invested billions of dollars in getting more people online, both through an initiative called internet.org -- which offers a pared-down version of the internet to poor areas -- and by building drones.

Two local veterans receive Quilts of Valor quilts

Alan "Lindy" Linda of New York Mills and Dr. Bill Rose of Perham, both Vietnam veterans, were presented quilts through the local Quilts of Valor group during its annual fundraiser held each year on March 17, at the American Legion Hall in Underwood.

Linda and Rose, a Purple Heart recipient, were among the 11 quilt recipients. Jenny Caughey, state Quilts of Valor coordinator, also spoke at the event last Friday.

Quilters Embrace, the local quilting group that presented the quilts, is comprised of quilters from Amor, Dent and Fergus Falls, according to Nett Kupferschmid of Perham.

The fundraiser has helped pay for a bus to take the quilters to various Army bases around the country to present the handmade quilts and fabric to continue to make the quilts.

Thousands of quilts have been given at locations around the country, Kupferschmid said, but recently the focus has been on presenting quilts to local veterans.

Anyone who has been touched by war can make a request for a quilt, she said, by visiting qovf.org.

Facebook Advertising: How to Get More for Your Budget

Facebook Advertising: How to Get More for Your Budget

Gather around, children, and let me tell you a story of Facebook advertising in the long-forgotten year of 2012. In that gilded age, whenever your page posted an update, up to 20% of your followers would see it in their feeds organically.

It was a simpler time. A gentler time. And a time when Facebook took in a lot less revenue from advertisers.

Then in 2016, organic reach fell off the cliff (Or was it pushed?), sinking to as low as 2% of a page’s followers.

The moral of the story is: If you want to reach a sizable audience on Facebook now, you’re going to have to pay. But as our friends (and clients) over at LinkedIn Marketing say, “Organic is good. Paid is better.”

Why settle for the audience that happens to wander by? Why settle for the audience Facebook thinks wants to hear from you? With a little investment, you can bring in an audience that is perfect for your offer. And you can keep refining your targeting over time to get even more out of your budget.

Here’s how to get the most out of your sponsored content on Facebook.

Content Marketing: 4 Ways to Make Sure Your Mobile Content Connects

How often do you use your smartphone as a phone? Personally, I think of it as more for avoiding human interaction than facilitating it:


These days my desktop and home laptop are gathering dust; I can do it all on my phone. The only reason we still call them “phones” is “personal computation device” sounds too nerdy.

All of which to say: Mobile is the current and next frontier for content marketing. Reports show that 65% of digital media time is now spent on a mobile device. Not only that, all digital growth is now coming from mobile usage—expect to see desktop traffic stagnate or reduce while mobile traffic continues to grow.
