The Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations launched the formulation of the joint strategic partnership framework for the next five years.
The Ministry of Economy and Industry hosted the launch of the joint consultation process, which brought together senior government officials, development partners, representatives from the private sector and civil society to identify the broad priority areas for the cooperation between the UN system and the Government. The prospective collaboration framework will be aligned with the national priorities that are articulated in ‘Azerbaijan: Vision 2020’ development concept, which builds on the country’s latest socio-economic achievements and provides a framework for its transition from a traditional economy to a knowledge-based, competitive and diversified economy.
The new strategy will support the agreed international goals and Post-2015 Development Agenda, a new framework for sustainable development, reaffirming the mutual commitment of the Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations to further deepen partnership and continue working in a concerted and effective manner. It will constitute a robust mechanism to foster coherence, relevance, effectiveness and efficiency within the UN system, and will give a significant attention to achieving results, with a focus on strengthening national Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) capacity and deepening the integration of M&E into national development planning process.
On behalf of the Government of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Economy and Industry will further co-lead the process of the preparation of the next partnership strategy until the end of August together with the United Nations and in consultation with all government and international partners. The strategic directions and expected results of the next partnership framework will be validated tentatively by end-September and endorsed by the Government by December 2014.

The technological advances in solar PV systems over the last decade have been remarkable. Designers and manufacturers continue to create systems that are increasingly more efficient, less expensive, and easier to install. They’re also making them nicer to look at.
There are a number of companies that now produce solar panels that prioritize not only efficiency and effectiveness, but aesthetic beauty as well. And while embracing sustainable energy production is always a good look, it doesn’t hurt to choose panels that enhance a home or other building’s appearance as well. How can solar designers satisfy a client’s aesthetic desires without compromising on the quality and function of the installation itself?
Form and Function, Combined
Solar Design Studio recently embarked on an exciting project for a client in Mission Hills, KS. If you’re not familiar with the area, it’s a high-end neighborhood filled with large, stately homes - all of which tend to be built and outfitted with top of the line materials and finishes. This project was the first solar installation in the area, and as you may imagine, the neighborhood is quite particular about preserving its long-standing aesthetic quality.
In consultation with our client, we chose to design and install a system comprised of CertainTeed’s Apollo® Tile II line. CertainTeed is no stranger to the roofing industry, with an over 100-year history of providing high-end roofing materials. Their venture into the solar space doesn’t compromise on their aesthetic standards. The Apollo® Tile II integrates top-tier solar function, durability, and water and wind resistance.
“The Apollo® Tile II system is the pinnacle of roof-integrated energy production, using high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells to capture the most energy per square foot of any solar tile,” CertainTeed writes. “Apollo Tile II also functions as your roof, generating clean power while blending seamlessly into the surrounding tile and protecting your home from water intrusion.”
The tile is designed specifically to provide visual continuity with existing concrete roof tiles, complete with custom-colored frames that can match any tile color. They are lightweight, durable, wind resistant, and watertight. And with a power rating of 60 watts per tile, they provide maximum power and aesthetics. Our residential installation in Mission Hills has a total system size of 11.09 kW and includes the Tesla Powerwall for battery storage.
Residential Solar-Plus-Storage
No high-end solar system is truly complete without a battery storage component. As we’ve previously written in regard to Solar-Plus-Storage systems, for consumers “considering the return on their investment in solar technology, battery storage makes strong financial sense.” The ability to produce and store power liberates residential solar adopters from the increasing fees and rates implemented by utility companies.
The Tesla Powerwall is a “rechargeable lithium-ion battery with liquid thermal control” that stores excess energy generated by solar panels for use when needed. It’s also a gorgeously designed solution for home battery storage. When connected to a solar array, it is able to provide 100 percent of its own power needs and store enough power to provide over 7 days of electricity in the event of a grid outage. Integrating a Powerwall into a residential building minimizes consumer’s reliance on their utility company to seamlessly meet home power needs.
In their review of the product, EnergySage writes that the Powerwall “may represent the first time in history that everyday homeowners are truly excited about the potential of storing energy at their home.” They note that Tesla’s reputation for innovation and design excellence is a powerful draw for consumers looking for a high-end battery storage solution. Especially for homeowners who pay time-of-use utility rates, pairing solar panels with a battery like the Powerwall is a smart financial decision.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At Solar Design Studio, our history of providing residential solar consumers with cost-effective solar solutions is paired with a commitment to satisfying each client’s unique aesthetic and technical needs. Partnering with our client in Mission Hills has created an exciting opportunity to develop and implement a high-end solar-plus-storage system that combines unobtrusive visual beauty and top-tier power production and storage. The pairing of CertainTeed’s Apollo® Tile II and Tesla’s Powerwall is a potent combination that honors both form and function, and both our team and our client are thrilled with the result.
Are you looking for a residential solar solution that looks great and works beautifully? Contact us today to start a conversation about how our products and services can meet your power needs, save you money, and enhance the beauty of your new or existing home.

Hartford, CT. Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) talked with the press today regarding a Department of Transportation internal memo that contains an alarming assessment of Gov. Ned Lamont’s plans concerning transportation funding. The memo, which was obtained by the Senate Republican Office after repeated requests, addresses the impact of Gov. Lamont eliminating $250 million in transportation investments. This funding was authorized by the biennium bipartisan budget which included a portion of the Republican “Prioritize Progress” policy to authorize this investment. The memo concludes that eliminating this funding will severely constrict needed infrastructure investments across the state and allow roads and bridges to deteriorate. March 28, 2019.

Another advantage of metal roofing is its versatility in matching various aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a classic, traditional appearance, metal roofing offers a range of styles and colors to suit your taste.
Investing in a metal roof can enhance your home's resale value, making it an appealing option for those considering long-term benefits. With its longevity, low maintenance, and sustainable properties, metal roofing is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve their property while benefiting the environment. Choosing a durable material like metal for your roof ensures that your investment will stand the test of time, providing peace of mind and added value for years.

Standing seam metal roofs offer an exceptional combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and versatility, making them a top choice for homeowners and building owners. Various seam types are available, including snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel seal, which can be tailored to enhance protection against specific climatic conditions. Selecting an appropriate seam type is crucial for maximizing weather resistance and ensuring the roof can withstand heavy rain, snow, or high winds.
In addition to their impressive performance, standing seam metal roofing is cost-effective over time, as it often requires less maintenance and boasts a longer life span than traditional roofing materials. However, proper installation must be addressed; professional installation is key to avoiding potential issues and ensuring the roof's longevity. With their strength, style, and efficiency blend, standing seam metal roofs are an excellent investment for any property.
Metal Shingles
Metal shingles offer a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and versatility that distinguishes them from other types of metal roofing. Available in various styles, these shingles can beautifully mimic traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt and tiles, providing homeowners an attractive yet durable option.
The installation process of metal shingles is straightforward. It often utilizes modular panels that streamline the setup while ensuring a secure fit. This innovative approach allows quicker installations than traditional roofing methods, making metal shingles a practical choice for new builds and renovations.
With options that enhance the visual charm of any home, metal shingles are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners looking to elevate their property's appearance while reaping the benefits of metal roofing.
Metal Tiles
Metal tiles are an excellent roofing option that combines aesthetic appeal with exceptional durability, making them a standout choice compared to traditional roofing materials. Available in a wide range of colors and styles, metal tiles can effortlessly mimic the appearance of other materials while providing robust protection and longevity for your home. Their versatility allows property owners to achieve the desired look without sacrificing performance.
Typically crafted from widely used metals like steel and aluminum, metal tiles are functional and stylish, aligning seamlessly with various architectural designs. By choosing metal tiles for your roofing project, you're investing in a solution that not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also ensures lasting protection against the elements, making them a smart choice for any discerning homeowner.
Corrugated Metal Roof
Corrugated metal roofing, crafted from galvanized steel rolled into various patterns like U-panel and R-panel, stands out for its exceptional characteristics and benefits. This roofing option is incredibly lightweight yet provides unparalleled durability, making it an ideal choice for residential and commercial structures. The unique corrugation enhances the roof's strength, allowing it to withstand harsh weather while facilitating efficient water drainage, which helps to prevent leaks and water accumulation.
Additionally, corrugated metal roofs require minimal maintenance and long lifespans, contributing to their reputation as a cost-effective roofing solution. With its corrosion-resistant properties, this roofing material protects homes and buildings and adds an aesthetic appeal that complements various architectural styles.
Guide to Installing Metal Roofs
Installing a metal roof is a rewarding project that enhances a home's aesthetic appeal and durability. This guide will walk you through the essential steps and considerations in metal roof installation, ensuring a secure and long-lasting result. Every detail is crucial for a successful application, from preparing the existing structure and selecting the appropriate materials to the actual installation process. It's important to engage a professional roofing contractor to avoid the pitfalls of improper installation, which can lead to costly repairs and reduced roof lifespan.
Metal roofs offer numerous advantages, including energy efficiency, low maintenance, and superior weather resistance. Understanding the installation process will help you appreciate the durability and longevity of metal roofing, making it an ideal choice for homeowners and builders alike. Trusting a qualified roofing contractor ensures that your metal roof is installed correctly, maximizing its benefits and providing reliable protection for many years.
Preparation and Planning
Preparation and planning are crucial steps for homeowners considering metal roof installation. Before embarking on this project, an essential assessment of the existing roofing conditions is necessary to identify any underlying issues that may need addressing. This thorough evaluation ensures the new metal roof is properly supported and prevents future complications.
Homeowners must also obtain the necessary permits to comply with local building codes and regulations. Choosing the right materials is also paramount, as different metals and finishes can significantly affect the roof's durability and aesthetics.
By understanding the preparation and planning involved in metal roof installation, homeowners can make informed decisions and set the stage for a successful roofing project that enhances their property's value and functionality.
Installing Underlayment and Panels
Installing a metal roof begins with selecting and properly installing an appropriate underlayment, vital for enhancing leak protection and thermal performance. The underlayment is a barrier against moisture and helps maintain the roof's energy efficiency.
Once the underlayment is in place, the metal panels must be carefully aligned and fastened. It is essential to ensure the panels are correctly overlapped to prevent water infiltration, adhering strictly to manufacturer guidelines for optimal results.
Fastening techniques should be employed to secure the panels effectively, accounting for wind load and thermal expansion factors. By properly installing underlayment and metal panels, homeowners can enjoy a durable, protective roofing system that offers long-lasting benefits.
Final Inspection
The final inspection step in a metal roof installation is crucial for quality assurance and ensuring that the completed work meets all compliance standards.

Inspectors assess the alignment, fastening, and material integrity, looking for issues such as uneven panels or inadequate sealing. They verify that the installation also adheres to local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
This step enhances the roof's durability and provides homeowners and building owners peace of mind by identifying and addressing compliance issues before final approval. Conducting a thorough final inspection is essential in delivering a high-quality metal roofing solution that will stand the test of time.
How to Maintain Your Metal Roof for Longevity
Maintaining your metal roof is essential for longevity and performance. Regular inspections should be a top priority; aim to check your roof at least twice a year or after severe weather events. During these inspections, look for signs of rust, loose fasteners, or any damage that may have occurred.
Cleaning debris is equally important, as leaves, branches, and dirt can trap moisture, leading to rust and corrosion. Remove any build-up from the roof's surface and gutters to prevent clogs and water pooling.
Rust prevention is crucial; invest in a protective coating if you notice any signs of corrosion during your inspections. Addressing issues promptly can extend the lifespan of your metal roof and help maintain its reflective properties, which can lead to potential energy savings by reducing cooling costs.
Following these metal roof maintenance practices ensures your roof remains durable and efficient, protecting your home for many years.

Why Roof Flashing Matters
Roof flashing is a crucial component of any roofing system, serving as a protective barrier against water leakage and other potential damages. Roof flashing is a thin, weather-resistant material installed at crucial points where the roof intersects with different surfaces like walls, chimneys, skylights, and vents. Its primary purpose is to create a watertight seal, preventing moisture from entering the structure and causing potentially costly issues such as roof rot, mold growth, and interior water damage.
Roof flashing is made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, ensuring durability and longevity. By effectively diverting water away from vulnerable areas and directing it to drainage systems, roof flashing plays a crucial role in maintaining a roof's integrity and longevity, making it an essential element in any construction or remodeling project.
Importance of Roof Flashing in Roofing Systems
Roof flashing is paramount in roofing systems as it prevents water leaks and damage. Installed in vulnerable areas such as roof valleys, shingles, chimneys, and skylights, roof flashing is a protective barrier against water seepage. Without proper flashing, rainwater and melting snow can enter the roof's structure and the roof deck, leading to rot, mold growth, and potential structural damage. Furthermore, the absence of flashing leaves the roof exposed to other elements, increasing the risk of leaks in the future. To ensure the long-term integrity of any roofing system, it is essential to prioritize the installation of high-quality roof flashing to direct water away from vulnerable areas effectively.
Types of Roof Flashing
Roof flashing is an essential component of any roofing system as it acts as a protective barrier against water penetration and helps to prevent leaks. Various types of roof flashing serve different purposes and are designed to fit specific roofing applications, whether for copper roofs, metal roofs, or other materials in roofing. Each type of flashing is specifically crafted to provide superior protection against water intrusion, ultimately extending the roof's lifespan.
Whether it is chimney flashing, vent pipe flashing, step flashing, valley flashing, or a corner piece, each type ensures adequate water drainage and redirects moisture away from vulnerable areas. By using the correct type of roof flashing, homeowners and commercial building owners can enjoy a dry and leak-free roof, enhancing the overall integrity of their property. Understanding the different types of roof flashing available is crucial in selecting the most suitable option for each roofing project, ensuring the utmost protection for years.
Pipe Flashing
Pipe flashing plays a crucial role in ensuring proper waterproofing in roofing. Different types of pipe flashing are available, each with its materials and benefits. Common materials include rubber and silicone, which allow for easier expansion and contraction. Unlike metal flashing, rubber or silicone flashing is more flexible, making it ideal for areas with varying temperatures and movements.
The advantages of rubber or silicone flashing for pipe flashing are also significant, as they provide better durability, longevity, and UV-reight resistance. However, proper installation and regular maintenance are essential to ensure effective waterproofing. By understanding the benefits and advantages of different types of pipe flashing, homeowners can make informed decisions to protect their roofs and prevent potential leaks and damages.
Counter Flashing
Counter flashing is a crucial component of roof flashing that protects hard-to-waterproof features, such as chimneys. It is installed on top of the base flashing and is designed to overlap with the vertical surface of the chimney or other protruding features. Like step flashing, counter flashing is a barrier against water intrusion by diverting moisture away from vulnerable areas. However, the installation process of counter flashing differs from step flashing. While step flashing is installed alongside shingles, counter flashing is typically built into the masonry joints of the chimney or wall. This ensures a more secure and watertight fit. By working in conjunction with base flashing, counter flashing provides additional protection against water penetration in areas prone to leaks, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the roof structure.
Valley Flashing
Valley flashing is crucial for providing additional protection in areas where two roof slopes meet—this type of flashing safeguards against potential leaks and water damage. Depending on the specific roofing needs, Valley flashing can be hidden beneath shingles or exposed in open valleys. It can be installed as one continuous piece or multiple overlapping pieces, offering flexibility and adaptability to different roofing structures. Whether hidden or exposed, and whether it is installed as a single constant piece or multiple overlapping sections, valley flashing plays a critical role in ensuring the longevity and durability of a roof, providing essential protection where two roof slopes converge.
Common Types of Roof Flashing Materials
When it comes to roofing, roof flashing is one essential element that often goes unnoticed. Roof flashing is crucial in preventing water leakage and protecting your roof from potential damage. Several standard roof flashing materials are available in the market, each with unique advantages and benefits. There are different roof flashing materials, providing readers with an understanding of their attributes to make an informed choice for their roofing needs.
1. Galvanized Steel Flashing: Galvanized steel flashing is one of the most commonly used materials in roof flashing. It consists of a thin sheet of steel coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. This sturdy material is highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions. It is ideal for areas prone to heavy rain and can be easily shaped and bent to fit various roof configurations.
2. Aluminum Flashing: Aluminum flashing is another popular choice for roof flashing due to its lightweight and flexible nature. It offers excellent resistance against corrosion, making it suitable for coastal regions or areas exposed to saltwater. Aluminum flashing is easy to work with, making installation hassle-free. Additionally, it can be painted easily to match the roof's color or blend with the surrounding aesthetic.
3. Copper Flashing: Copper flashing is renowned for its longevity and aesthetic appeal. While it may require a higher upfront investment, copper flashing is an excellent choice for long-term durability and weather resistance. This material develops a desirable patina over time, adding an elegant touch to the roofing structure. Moreover, copper flashing is highly malleable, allowing for intricate detailing and a precise fit.
4. Rubber Flashing: Rubber flashing, often made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), provides an effective waterproofing solution. This type of flashing is commonly used around features like vents, chimneys, and skylights. Rubber flashing is resistant to extreme temperatures, UV rays, and chemical exposure, ensuring long-lasting protection for your roof. Its flexibility allows for easy installation and enhanced sealing capabilities.
Copper
Copper is a highly versatile metal known for its exceptional properties and wide range of uses. Its high thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability make it ideal for various applications, including roof flashing and plumbing systems. Copper's excellent conductive properties enable it to efficiently transfer heat and electricity, making it highly efficient in redirecting water away from vulnerable areas of roofs. Due to its durability and corrosion resistance, copper can withstand extreme weather conditions and provide long-lasting protection. Moreover, copper's malleability allows it to be easily shaped and molded to fit different roofing configurations, ensuring a secure and tight seal against water infiltration.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a versatile metal known for its excellent properties, varied uses, and positive environmental impact. It can be found abundantly in the Earth's crust, making it easily accessible for extraction. Extracting aluminum involves refining bauxite ore through chemical reactions and electrical currents.

Proper roof flashing installation ensures that these areas are waterproofed, reducing the risk of roof leaks and potential damage to the building. For example, continuous flashing is often used along roof planes and pitches to create a seamless barrier against water infiltration.
Installing roof flashing on flat roofs and roof penetrations, such as vents and chimneys, helps prevent costly roof repairs and extends the roof's lifespan. Additionally, materials like sheet metal are commonly used for flashing due to their durability and effectiveness. Ensuring the flashing is correctly integrated with the roof decking and roof surface is essential to avoid the need for premature roof replacement. Understanding the importance of correctly installing roof flashing and the steps involved in the installation process is necessary to maintain the roofing system's overall health.
Steps Involved in Installing Roof Flashing
There are several essential steps to consider when installing roof flashing. First and foremost, step flashing is crucial and should be placed before the siding. This ensures that water is adequately redirected away from the roof and prevents potential leaks. The installation process can be divided into two procedures depending on whether a corner is on the wall. The flashing is applied directly to the roof face without a corner. However, in the presence of a corner, corner-flashing step roof methods are needed to provide additional protection.
For shingle roofs, especially asphalt shingle roofs, professional roofers must pay special attention to the flashing around fascia boards and drip edge flashing to ensure comprehensive waterproofing. Metal roof flashing must be meticulously installed to prevent improper flashing, which can lead to significant issues. For degree-angle roofs, ensuring the flashing is correctly aligned is vital.
Roofing contractors often use the step method for effective installation, particularly on commercial roofs, where commercial roof flashing is essential. Proper flashing installation is critical to protecting the roof investment and extending the roof's lifespan. Regular annual roof maintenance can help identify potential issues with flashing before they necessitate costly repairs.
Ultimately, whether for residential or commercial applications, correctly installing roof flashing helps finish the roof and maintain its structural integrity. Following these installation procedures, roof flashing preserves the roof's integrity and prevents water damage.

Fayette County Public Schools is proud to recognize our school-level and district-level Teachers of the Year for the 2022-2023 school term. These honorees represent the many FCPS teachers who prioritize the needs of all children and who devote their professional lives to enriching the lives of students. When you see an educator, please be sure to congratulate them and thank them for their service.
Ms. Clydene Neal is in her first year of teaching seventh grade English Language Arts at East Junior High School, but she has served in Fayette County Public Schools for several years. She holds a Bachelor of Science Elementary Education from Tennessee State University and a Master of Education from Bethel College. She has a son and is raising a seven year old granddaughter. Her father, her two sisters, and her brother are all a blessed part of her life as well.
Ms. Neal says, “I choose this career because of my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Odelia Jones. She was my inspiration. Mrs. Jones treated her students with respect, care, and love. She made sure that all students were engaged in learning and she also took time with each student no matter what the situation or who the student was. She never frowned upon the students because of who they were or were not. With what Mrs. Jones did for me and how she made me feel as a student, I wanted to be that teacher as well to make my students feel the same; no big I’s and no little you’s. My favorite thing about teaching is learning the students’ personalities.”
