Goal Zero Nomad 7 Plus Review




In most metrics, except for weight and portability, the Goal Zero Nomad 7 did not stand out. Though the panel did not perform outstandingly regarding output power and efficiency, it does have an excellent design and is a significant improvement from the previous model.


Charge Interruption Recovery


Much like other panels in this capacity range (i.e., the Renogy 5W and the Outad 7W), the Nomad 7 Plus struggled to recover a charge after an interruption in solar energy. In fact, the 7 Plus would not even re-connect to our iPhone after being shaded for a few seconds. This is a huge issue with such a lightweight and portable panel, as charging a phone or another small device is its main use. Panels with more overall output power, such as the Anker PowerPort 21, Anker Powerport Lite, Instapark Mercury 10, X-Dragon 20, and Nomad earned 8 out of 10s for this metric.




Charging Speed


In our side-by-side comparisons, the Nomad 7 Plus was one of the least efficient chargers for an iPhone 6 in direct sun. We gave each panel 30 minutes to charge an iPhone and measured the increase in battery with each panel. The Nomad 7 Plusonly managed to charge the phone 18%. This was less than the previous model, the Nomad 7 which managed to charge a phone 33% in the same time. For charging the external battery, the Nomad 7 Plus performed worse than its predecessor again by only charging our external battery 9% in four hours. It's important to remember that other panels with the same wattage, like the Renogy 5W and the Outad 7W, had dismal numbers in this category as well, since their overall output is just not as powerful as a 20W panel.



Multiple Device Charging Speed


This small panel can't charge multiple devices at once and thus is only designed with one USB port. Unlike the previous model, the Nomad 7 Plus comes with just one USB cord and no adaptors at all, making it overall more straightforward and easy to use. If charging multiple devices at once is essential to you, check out a more powerful panel, such as the X-Dragon 20W or the Anker 21W.

Numark Mixtrack Pro review



Once connected, you must install the Asio 4 All audio driver. The Numark Mixtrack Pro works with standard Windows audio drivers, but the ASIO driver is essential for providing the low latencies needed for effective mixing and scratching. When you're DJing, you want your controller to be as responsive as possible so that when you move the jog wheel to scratch, for example, you hear the scratch sound straight after the movement, not seconds later. The lower the latency, the more immediate the sound.

SOFTWARE
Once the driver's installed, you can install the bundled DJing software, and the Mixtrack Pro comes with two of the best entry-level DJing applications around: Traktor LE 2 and Serato DJ Intro. It's also compatible with the new Serato DJ software, and should work with any other DJing software that supports MIDI mapping.


Traktor LE 2 looks similar to the full version of Traktor Pro 2 shown here, but doesn't have Traktor Pro 2's advanced features

We're massive fans of both applications, and both have their strengths and weaknesses when combined with the Mixtrack Pro. Serato DJ Intro, for example, is great for scratching and beatjuggling because it responds well to jog wheel movements and displays your tracks’ waveforms and top of each other or side by side. Traktor is brilliant for mixing and creating live edits with hot-cues and loops, and its effects are the finest you’ll find in DJing software.


Serato Intro DJ is a great entry-level DJing application

MIXER SECTION
The Mixtrack Pro's mixer section consists of three upfaders and a crossfader. The left and right upfaders control the volume of the left and right channels respectively, while the middle fader controls the volume of the master output. The upfaders are placed very close together and very close to the jog wheels. We didn't accidentally move the jog wheel or an adjacent fader, but we'd still prefer more room between the faders and jog wheels.
We'd also prefer a little more room around the crossfader. It's possible to hit a channel fader when it's fully closed and you're scratching, and the crossfader area feels a little cramped.

In terms of feel, the upfaders have quite a bit of resistance to them, which is great for smooth mixing, but not so good if you want to snap them back and forth quickly. Sure, the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 has much smoother upfaders with less resistance, but the Mixtrack Pro's faders aren't bad considering the cost of the unit.

As for the crossfader, it's loose enough for scratching but has enough resistance for smooth, confident mixing. It's certainly much better than the crossfaders you used to get on entry-level DJ controllers.

How do you rank key words?


1.) How do you rank key words? If NY SEO services simply optimizes for all those keywords are shipped to them from the customer, the SEO services NYC begins off on really shaky ground. Keyword analysis should be performed that takes into consideration the number of searches from all the big search engines and also the comparative competition for those terms. The site should also be compared to the keywords to see whether they support each other.
ny seo services

2.) Do you plan on building pages out specifically to house keywords? Landing pages and doorway pages are not successfully long term SEO services New York. Search engine optimization companies like them since they don't need to touch the rest of the site and it's quite easy to just add band aids instead of performing surgery.

3.) Will my search engine optimization campaign also help improve the consumer experience of the site? Proper architecture and usability go hand in hand with affordable local SEO services and aids increase ROI. You should wish to bring in new traffic and convert it.

4.) Does my revenue model affect my keyword choice and the optimization for a whole? Any local SEO agencies that doesn't optimize based on the target audience is NOT providing the very best campaign. An e-commerce site marketing to relative shoppers may wish to optimize greatly for product names and model numbers. An internet magazine wanting to bring in recurring traffic will want to optimize for post topics and specific topics. A local business might want to optimize for geo-targeted keywords.

5.) I wish to optimize my website, but do not wish to change any of the present content or design...how do you go about it? Any best local SEO services that says they'll just add on landing pages or conceals text is promoting black hat. This goes straight back to the preceding analogy. You are really saying that you have a car which you want to modify to be very fast, but don't want to change the motor and the mechanic only adds racking stripes and fees your full cost.

Top 5 Hybrid Energy News (Solar- and Wind-Diesel-Hybrid + Microgrids) – July 2017











The July edition of our “Top 5 Hybrid Energy News” includes a cutting-edge water-treatment project, a large-scale community project, a major acquisition, a hybrid energy system GOAL ZERO SHERPA 50 SOLAR RECHARGING KIT for a hospital, and a support scheme. It features Water Mission, Poul Due Jensen Foundation, Power and Water Corporation, Conergy, BMD, Aggreko, Younicos, UOSSM, and ADB. The July edition covers news from Tanzania, Australia, UK, Germany, Syria, and the Pacific region.

Top 1

1.2 MW Solar PV for Water treatment project in Tanzania - Funded by the Poul Due Jensen Foundation

The solar power plant will be part of a water project at refugee settlements in Western Tanzania. This is one of the largest solar-powered, safe-water treatment project in the world.

The project is managed by Water Mission and funded by the Poul Due Jensen Foundation. The aim of the initiative is to pump 100 percent of the water using solar power, with diesel generators as backup. According to Water Mission estimates, the cost of the project will be recovered in about nine years by ending the expenses for the diesel generators. An additional USD 1.3 million (EUR 1.2m) will be saved over the following 15 years.

Australian Aboriginal Community to Cut Reliance on Diesel with 1MW Solar Plant

A remote Aboriginal community south of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory will soon be powered mostly by solar energy. A solar-diesel hybrid plant will be built as part of the Territory government’s SETuP program. The Daly River project will include a 1-MW solar array, that is expected to provide 100 percent of the local Nauiyu community’s energy needs during the day, relegating the diesel generators for use only at night and as back-up. Nauiyu is one of the first communities to be chosen for the program — which is being rolled out by local utility Power and Water Corporation. The project will be built by German-based Conergy and Queensland-based BMD Constructions.

Aggreko Buys Energy Storage Company Younicos for £40 Million

Younicos offers modular and scalable smart energy storage and has over 200 MW of installed storage systems, with a project pipeline across both developed and emerging markets. The acquisition is a part of Aggreko’s strategy to adapt to markets that decarbonize, decentralize and become more digital.

Dan Ibbetson, Group Business Development Director, Aggreko, comments: “Solar-diesel hybrid projects are ideal for incorporating storage, providing power at a lower fuel and environmental cost. There are many possible applications and mines could certainly benefit. Individual customers will have to weigh up the various elements — environmental, cost and viability of the project over time — to implement the optimum power plan.”

On-site Solar Project for Hospital in Syria

The pilot solar project, located at a hospital which was not identified for safety reasons, is expected to save more than 7000 liters of diesel per month, around 20-30 per cent of the hospital’s energy costs. The 127 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) project was installed by the Syria Solar Initiative of French medical charity the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM). The installation also features battery with a capacity of 720 kWh. UOSSM plans to install five more PV systems at vulnerable Syrian hospitals and is seeking funding partners for these projects. The charity said it aims to eventually provide power for all Syrian hospitals.
