About four months ago JanEbbing and Ivan Flanegin ofTNO Caribbean approachedColegio EPI for a collabora-tion on an innovative solarproject for Aruba.

TNO and Utilities N.V.along with their partners fromArizona State University, N.V.Elmar, Setar N.V. and the Gov-ernment of Aruba made avial-able all the elements andnecessary factors for the real-ization of a solar panel test labat Colegio EPI.

The intention is to do scien-tific investigation as well as in-troduce educational processes.This project which was enthus-tiastically received was finallyinstalled and put into functionlast Friday.

Arizona State University,according to Ivan Flanegin,donated to Aruba ten solarpanels of different technolo-gies from which studentswould learn the different ben-efits and disadvantages of thedifferent technologies. Stu-dents would learn how to setup the systems on differenttypes of roofs as well as howto connect them to Elmar’selectrical grid.

With respect to the scien-tific part, Flanegin explainedthat at Colegio EPI they willmeasure the performance ofthe solar panels based on nat-ural elements such as temper-ature, humidity and theamount of saltpeter and howthese elements influence thefunctionality of these panels.They will also observe the ef-fect of saltpeter on the corro-sion of the panels.

Solar panel systems nor-mally come with a guaranteeof 25 years, however, most ofthese systems are designed forclimates in China, Europe andthe U.S.A. which is differentfrom the Aruban climate. Theinvestigation at EPI will be im-portant to determine the situa-tion and ideal installation forour island.

Three departments at Cole-gio EPI were involved in set-ting up the project according toCarlos Martinus, educationalmanager at EPI. Two teamsworked on the design of theprototype and two studentsworked on the maps and con-struction calculations, whileanother group did the con-struction work.

The investigations have nowbegun in earnest as well astraining of students on every-thing that has to do with solarpanels, including the production

of electricity, the measurment ofelectricity, functionality and or-ganization and realization ofscientific investigation on thefield of solar energy.

The government technicalinspection bureau, DTI, has in-spected and approved the in-stallation which is nowofficially connected to Elmar’sgrid generating 5.1 KW backto the grid. According toFlanegin the system is produc-ing the expected amount of en-ergy which is equivalent for anaverage small household.

WASHINGTON (AFP) -Forget about deja vu or oldhat as Barack Obama, Amer-ica's first black president, wassworn in again. For some inthe sea of humanity watch-ing, cheering and shivering,the repeat was even sweeter.Yes, the crowd was smallerand the number of inauguralcelebratory balls was slashed.Obama will be a lameduckpresident, barred from seek-ing a third term. Compared to2009, even the January coldthat tested the mettle ofObama fans was less intense.Still, for the crowd thatroared when Obama steppedonto the VIP podium on thesteps of Congress Mondayunder overcast skies, onemessage was clear: his firstwin back in 2008 was not justsome fleeting blip or anom-aly amid a long stream ofwhite presidents."It is worth even more, thathe did it again," said Austin,an African-American, like aclear majority of the crowd.Indeed, said 25-year-oldWashington, DC law studentMax Etin, who is white, thistime may be less frenzied interms of enthusiasm but thedeeper significance ofObama's win last Novemberspeaks volumes."I think is it still exciting forsome people to show it wasn'tlike a fluke, you know? Thatreally America is behind himand America is a changingcountry and he kind of em-bodies that," said Etin.

Second timeeven sweeter,

Obama fans say


The 44th president repeatedlyused the "We the People" pre-amble to the US Constitutionto suggest how to reconcileAmerica's founding truthsand the current discord anddysfunction of its embitteredpolitical system.

"For now, decisions areupon us, and we cannot af-ford delay," Obama said.

"We cannot mistake abso-lutism for principle, or substi-tute spectacle for politics, ortreat name-calling as rea-soned debate. We must act,knowing that our work willbe imperfect," Obama de-clared.

Obama's speech was no-ticeably liberal -- calling forprotection for the weak, thepoor and those lacking healthcare and obliquely includinga call for gay rights and pro-tection against gun crime forchildren.

"Our journey is not com-plete until our gay brothersand sisters are treated likeanyone else under the law --for if we are truly createdequal, then surely the love wecommit to one another mustbe equal as well," Obamasaid.

"Our journey is not com-plete until we find a betterway to welcome the striving,hopeful immigrants who stillsee America as a land of op-portunity.

"Our journey is not com-plete until all our children,from the streets of Detroit tothe hills of Appalachia to thequiet lanes of Newtown,know that they are cared for,and cherished, and alwayssafe from harm."

The president also saidthat American security did

not require "perpetual war"and promised to base Ameri-can global leadership on dia-logue, firm alliances but notto cede the threat of the use offorce.

"We will defend our peo-ple and uphold our valuesthrough strength of arms andrule of law," Obama said.

"We will show the courageto try and resolve our differ-ences with other nationspeacefully -- not because weare naïve about the dangerswe face, but because engage-ment can more durably liftsuspicion and fear."

And Obama also vowedthe meet the threat of globalwarming, despite skepticismon climate change from someRepublican foes, and politicalbarriers to taking serious ac-tion.

Obama earlier raised hisright hand and rested his lefton Bibles once owned byMartin Luther King andAbraham Lincoln, on an out-door platform set on the WestFront of the US Capitolbuilding and below its ele-gant white dome.

"I Barack Hussein Obama..." the 44th president said,vowing to faithfully executehis office and to "preserve,protect and defend the consti-tution," led in the oath of of-fice by black-robed ChiefJustice John Roberts.

The president was earlierannounced with a peal oftrumpets and walked downthe steps from the iconicbuilding to a huge cheers of"Obama, Obama" from a vastcrowd stretching into the dis-tance down the National Mallbelow.

Obama, his smile beaming

wide, appeared more relaxedthan at his first inaugurationfour years ago, when he tookoffice as an untested and in-experienced leader as an eco-nomic depression threatened.

The president, the firstAfrican American to hold theoffice, launched his secondterm with a private swearing-in ceremony on Sunday, be-fore basking in the full pompof his office with public cele-brations Monday.

BERLIN (AFP) - GermanChancellor Angela Merkel onMonday called a knife-edgedefeat in a state poll "painful"and said her party had towork to shore up supportahead of the September gen-eral election.

Merkel's ruling centre-right camp lost its decade-long hold on the northeasternstate of Lower Saxony by justone seat to the opposition So-cial Democrats and GreensSunday in one of the tightestraces in recent memory.

"Of course when you havebeen on such an emotionalrollercoaster then a defeat isthat much more painful," shetold reporters after huddlingwith her Christian Demo-cratic Union (CDU).

"We have got to ensurethat we in future electioncampaigns get the necessarymajorities together."

The stunning upset left herjunior coalition partners, thepro-business Free Democrats(FDP), reeling after monthsof anaemic poll numbers andsniping at their luckless

leader, Economy MinisterPhilipp Roesler.

In a dramatic showdown,Roesler, who is also Merkel'svice chancellor, offered tostep down after nearly twoyears at the helm of the FDPin favour of his main rival,parliamentary group leaderRainer Bruederle. But the lat-ter declined.

LONDON (AFP) - Hundredsof flights were cancelled androad and rail traffic was se-verely disrupted across muchof Europe on Monday asheavy snow and freezingweather gripped the conti-nent.

Frankfurt airport, Ger-many's main air hub, can-celled around 500 departingand arriving flights, repre-senting 40 percent of its dailyschedule.

The busiest airport in Eu-rope, London Heathrow,scrapped nearly 200 flights.

Heathrow said a decisionwas taken 24 hours in ad-vance to cancel 130 flights

because visibility was ex-pected to deteriorate as theday wore on, but problemselsewhere in Europe werehaving an impact too.

"The additional cancella-tions are because a number ofairports elsewhere in Europeare experiencing problems sothat has a knock-on effect forus," an airport spokesmansaid.

Heathrow has spent 36million pounds ($57 million)on upgrading its snow-clear-ing equipment since 2010,when freezing temperaturesand snow almost brought theairport to a halt in the ap-proach to Christmas.

Europe's number three air-port, Paris's Charles deGaulle, was also hit.

France's civil aviation au-thority DGAC said it ex-pected to scrap 40 percent offlights to and from Charles deGaulle and Paris's other mainairport, Orly, in a precaution-ary measure following heavysnowfall on Sunday.

Even Munich, a city usu-ally accustomed to takingsnow in its stride, cancelled161 flights at its airport as itgrappled with the exceptionalconditions.

In Spain, flights bound forParis, Munich and Frankfurtwere hit, leading to the can-cellation of 16 flights to andfrom Barcelona.

Smaller airports in Britainwere virtually closed downafter fresh snow fell in north-ern and central Englandovernight, with planesgrounded at Manchester, EastMidlands and Leeds Brad-ford.

Under-sea train servicesbetween Britain and conti-nental Europe were also hit,with Eurostar cancelling sixtrains linking London withBrussels and also Paris due tospeed restrictions on thetracks in northern France.

The manual is expected tobe submitted to Obama forfinal approval within weeks,the paper said.

The Post said the adoptionof a formal guide to targetedkilling marks a significantmilestone: the institutionaliza-tion of a practice that wouldhave seemed anathema tomany before the September11, 2001 attacks.

The subjects covered in theplaybook include the processfor adding names to kill lists,the legal principles that governwhen US citizens can be tar-geted overseas and the se-quence of approvals requiredwhen the CIA or US militaryconduct drone strikes outsidewar zones, the paper said.

According to The Post, theeffort to draft the playbookwas nearly derailed late lastyear by disagreements amongthe State Department, the CIAand the Pentagon on the crite-ria for lethal strikes.

They led to granting theCIA a temporary exemptionfor its Pakistan operations as acompromise that allowed offi-cials to move forward withother parts of the playbook.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Theadministration of PresidentBarack Obama is completing acounterterrorism manual thatwill establish clear rules fortargeted-killing operations,The Washington Post reportedlBut citing unnamed US offi-cials, the newspaper said theguidebook would contain amajor exemption for the CIA'scampaign of drone strikes inPakistan.

This exemption will allowthe Central IntelligenceAgency to continue strikingAl-Qaeda and Taliban targetsin Pakistan for a year or morebefore the agency is forced tocomply with more stringentrules spelled out in the docu-ment, the report said.

According to the London-based Bureau of InvestigativeJournalism, between 2,627 and3,457 people have been report-edly killed by US drones inPakistan since 2004, includingbetween 475 and nearly 900civilians.

The covert strikes are pub-licly criticized by the Pakistanigovernment as a violation ofsovereignty but American offi-cials believe they are a vitalweapon in the war against Is-lamist militants.

Polio cases in Pakistan haverisen sharply in recent years,hitting 198 in 2011 -- the high-est figure for more than adecade and the most of anycountry in the world, accord-ing to the WHO.

Unicef's acting chief ofpolio unit, Michael Colemansaid the incident highlightedthe importance of vaccinationin Pakistan.

Pakistan is one of only threecountries where the highly in-fectious crippling disease re-mains endemic, along withAfghanistan and Nigeria.

Earlier this month Pakistanprovided paramilitary and po-lice support to polio vaccina-tion teams in the northwestafter a series of attacks onmedical workers.

Australia's Defence Minis-ter Stephen Smith said thetreaty was designed "to under-pin the ongoing strategic andpractical cooperation" be-tween the nations, as well as toreflect their historical relation-ship.

It will see the two countriesshare information, technology,policy and personnel in a bidto minimise costs, as well asstrengthening ties in the fieldsof cyber security, defence re-form, equipment, and scienceand technology.

-- The highest prior-itiy of the Cas Ani-mal Foundation,which rescues sick,injured, abandonedand abused dogs andcats off Aruba’sstreets, is facilitatingthose rescued to beadopted into lovinghomes.

The end of 2012saw a number of en-couraging successes,with several animalsplaced in homes onAruba, the U.S. andEurope. Their storieshave been recounted in THEMORNING NEWS, and wehave received wonderful feed-back and follow up from theindividuals who departedAruba with a new familymember in tow.

Unfortunately, it is a never

ending quest, with moreadorable abandoned puppiesleft on the streets every month.Cas Animal’s founder, KirstenArndt, has just such a find,which we at THE MORNINGNEWS have nicknamed, forthe moment, “Miss Big Ears”for obvious reasons.

Isn’t there some family thatwould like to give this very af-fectionate, sweet puppy a nicename and home? If so contactKiki at Cas Animal. The puppyis health and vaccinated andready to go.

The other primary goal ofCas Animal is to build a properno-kill shelter on land she hasalready been awarded by thegovernment. Groundbreakingis imminent, but until then,Kiki now cares for nearly 70dogs in her home, which shehas converted into a temporaryshelter. Many of these are thepoor dogs that are so damaged,missing a limb or too old, sheknows it would be unheard offor someone to wish to adoptthem, so she cares for themwith equal love and concern.Her costs for feeding, treatingand neutering all the dogs sherescues and maintains are as-tronomical. If anyone wishesto help, they can support herwith donations in the form ofpayment to the Cas AnimalFoundation account at theContreras Veterinary Clinics orto Animal Care Clinic in Pa-radera, phone number 582-8382. Donations can be madedirectly to the foundation’s ac-count: Cas Animal Founda-tion, CMB Bank account #25762110. If you are not an is-land resident and wish to adopta dog, or see one in distress,call Kiki at 742-8732 and shewill help you as she helpedmany others in arranging careand transport of a dog in needof a good home.
