Basically one of my main jobs at bzb is to test heater and chiller combos. The 36kw combo netted us 174L/hr but we offer multiple options as far as speed goes so you can upgrade heaters and chillers in the future and keep using the same steel and everything.
Absolutely will! Can’t wait!!
Where do you think your current design caps out?
I’d guess 250L/hr before we expand it and add more surface area.
Thanks for this!
Price for steel only to Rotarua NZ?
It’s not quite legal there yet, but they are planning on cornering the global market
~1gal/hr per kw is ‘good’ efficiency.
you guys have covered a lot of the design difficulties so far.
they behave much differently with extract than clean solvent
When I was doing butane extraction, I always wondered why not use a Heat Pump. I thought it was inefficient that I had a device trying to keep one thing really cold and another device to make hot water. Using a single heat pump I could achieve both processes. Couldn’t you do the same for the FFE? Some type of heat pump that is dumping super hot water where you need and at the same time super cold water on the other side of the unit. Similar to a peltier plate in CPU coolers. One side is really cold, the other side is really hot. Or maybe they all ready do this…
Just get a water cooled chiller and route the water used to cool the chiller to what ever you need hot. It may need some supplemental help but should be more efficient than having heating and cooling separate
Just figured out how they mate the tubes with the tube plate. Im thinking that everything on this design will be orderable online except the tube assemblies which I am considering having made locally here in California. Check out the basics of the tube expansion process that locks the tubes into the tube plates:
Also, I know that for the evaporator side shell and tube is the obvious choice for heat transfer since it is going to need to be serviced regularly due to the nature of our solution. HOWEVER, after some discussion with @wakawakalj I wondered if a plate type HE would actually be a better choice for heat transfer when condensing the (presumably) pure solvent. Plate type heat exchangers are typically more compact for a given surface area and as such tend to be the more cost effective solution at larger scales. Read below for more and let me know if you can think of why this wouldn’t be the best solution for the condenser.
An expander is a handy tool to have, you can trace the tool’s origins back to boiler making. Having a tighter fit up allows you to make a “fusion” weld, rather than filling with welding rod.
I don’t think most industrial chillers are getting the cooling water hot enough to do what we’re after here (don’t know what everyone is running their FFE’s/Rotos at but I’d expect 70+*C), though I recognize that may depend on flowrate. Problem is, if you cut down flowrate of the cooling water to get a higher outlet temp, you’re going to cut down the ability of the chiller to chill the circulated coolant - it would be similar to running an air cooled chiller in a very hot room. In order to achieve a descent steady state you would have to drastically oversize the chiller to where it still has sufficient cooling capacity to condense with a lowered cooling water flowrate, and then I’d be concerned about what kind of impact that might have on longevity of the chiller.
I think 1244farms is onto something with the heat pump idea, though I don’t know enough about heat pump engineering to say whether thats a viable option or not. Most I’m aware of are for achieving temps human beings are comfortable in, which would probably be warmer than we’d want to condense at and colder than we’d want to evaporate at.
I know that for the evaporator side shell and tube is the obvious choice for heat transfer since it is going to need to be serviced regularly due to the nature of our solution
I’m not certain I agree with this part of your statement. Gasketed plate style heat exchangers are easily serviced (admittedly, somewhat less easily than shell and tube) and an order of magnitude less expensive than shell and tube ones.
I agree that plates definitely make more sense on the condensation side.
is this custom build or you use parts from from online ready to go ?
Just checking out Delta Seps new falling film system and it appears that they have beat me to the punch so to speak. See the photo below appearing to show plate heat exchangers used for condensation of ethanol:
Yup, it’s a pretty interesting setup. They also use a liquid ring vacuum pump to minimize the energy required for condensation, which is nice to see as I had thought about that kind of thing but didn’t know the right equipment to make it work.
Fairly overpriced in my opinion, but that’s true the of vast majority of equipment sold to this industry.
had to ask the all knowing one: WTF is a liquid ring pump?
Know the surface area on that thing?

Non-Physical Injury Annuities
You’ve reached a settlement in your client’s non-physical injury case. After allocating funds to pay attorney fees and costs, your client has a portion remaining that they can take in cash. If your client does so, they will pay income taxes based on IRS income tax rules. However, there is another option.
We know that your clients’ settlements will never be nearly enough to make up for their losses, so handing a big part over to the government in taxes can be especially difficult. That is why non-physical injury annuities, called “Non-Qualified” structured settlements are a wonderful tool for those settling non-physical injury cases.
A “Non-Qualified” structure prevents the entire non-physical injury settlement from being taxed in the year you settle. The structure allows the settlement funds to grow tax-deferred.
Non-Qualified Structured Settlement Benefits
Article on Non-Qualfied Structured Settlements by Kelly Ramsdale
TYPES OF CASES ELIGIBLE FOR NON-QUALIFIED STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT:
- Employment (exclusive of lost wages)
- False Arrest
- Breach of Contract
- Sexual Harassment
- Punitive Damages
- Property Damages
- Entertainment & Endorsement Income
- Environmental Claims
- Psychological / Emotional Distress
- Coverage Buyouts
- Property Disputes
- E&O, D&O Claims
- Some Estate Distributions
- Deferred Compensation
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A “NON-QUALIFIED” (TAX-DEFERRED) STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT IN A NON-PHYSICAL INJURY CASE?
- A minor or incapacitated person is involved.
- Income replacement is important.
- The plaintiff isn’t an experienced financial expert.
- The plaintiff is risk averse. Many financial vehicles come with risk, which many plaintiffs and their families are not excited about.
- High wage earners don’t need the money at the time of settlement. They can let the funds grow tax-deferred until they need them.
- The plaintiff isn’t considered legally “incapacitated,” but may be vulnerable to people who would be harmful to the preservation of the settlement proceeds.
ADVANTAGES OF A “NON-QUALIFIED” STRUCTURE
Having your clients choose Non-Qualified structures for their non-physical injury situations provides them with several benefits.
- Your clients will not have to pay taxes immediately on the amount of the settlement that is put into a non-qualified structured settlement. Taxes can be deferred and are due in the year when payments are distributed.
- Your clients will have peace of mind knowing that the benefits are paid by some of the largest life insurance companies in the United States. These companies are highly regulated and safe.
- Their structure plans will be tailored to meet their financial needs.
- Because the non-qualified structured settlement is based on a fixed interest rate, it is not subject to the ups and downs of the financial markets. Your clients will know exactly how much they are going to receive and when those payments will arrive. No guesswork or stress.

@semtex_odin Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing these issues in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. As Kormac67 stated, the drunk Eivor issue should now be resolved now that the Yule Festival has ended! Additionally, the bug with the quiver has been reported to the team and can be found on our Reported Issues Megathread. As for the skill tree, would you be able to grab pictures or videos of this?

Gabriela Lara, primera ganadora del Chicago Symphony Orchestra Fellowship program
La violinista venezolana Gabriela Lara ha sido la ganadora de la primera edición del Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Fellowship program, un proyecto desarrollado por la Federación de Músicos de Chicago, el comité de miembros de la CSO y el propio Riccardo Mutti, director musical de la orquesta. Este programa aspira a apoyar a músicos provenientes de grupos de población "tradicionalmente poco representados en las orquesta sinfónicas norteamericanas, incluyendo -pero no limitado a ellos- aquellos que se identifican como negros, latinos e indígenas".
Lara se incorporará en septiembre de 2022 para trabajar con la orquesta durante las próximas tres temporadas en ensayos y conciertos, lo que le permitirá colaborar y ser dirigida por algunas de las grandes figuras actuales de la música. El programa incluye un mínimo de 20 semanas anuales de contrato para tocar con la CSO y 10 horas de clase privada individual de músicos de la CSO cada año. Además recibirá colaboración de los músicos de la CSO para preparar las audiciones para incorporarse a alguna orquesta norteamericana, junto a apoyo económico para asistir a las audiciones.
Lara, nacida en Barquisemeto (Venezuela), se formó en Venezuela y fue miembro destacado de varias orquestas de El Sistema. Posteriormente se graduó en 'Interpretación del violín' en el Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, como alumna de Almita Vamos.
Nota de prensa completa (en inglés)
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) has announced the winner of the newly-launched Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Fellowship program. Venezuelan violinist Gabriela Lara will become the first CSO Fellow at the beginning of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 2022-23 season in September. The new fellowship program, developed with support from Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, the CSO Members’ Committee and Chicago Federation of Musicians, will welcome musicians from populations that have traditionally been underrepresented in American symphony orchestras, including, but not limited to, those who identify as Black, Latino or Indigenous.
As a CSO Fellow, Lara will gain significant experience rehearsing and performing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, with the opportunity to work with renowned conductors and receive training and mentorship from CSO musicians to better equip her to win auditions in U.S. orchestras. Lara will also receive compensation to perform a minimum of 20 subscription weeks with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as financial support to attend auditions, and will have access to up to 10, one-hour private lessons with a CSO musician annually.
Gabriela Lara graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, where she was a student of Almita Vamos. Lara is also the recipient of a 2022 Project Inclusion Fellowship from the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra.
Originally from Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Lara began her violin studies at age 8 and later became a member of the Latin American Violin Academy, where she was a student of Jose Francisco del Castillo and Francisco Diaz. Lara was also a member of “El Sistema” in Venezuela, where she served as a Concertmaster of the Lara Youth Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in 2017 and performed with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra as part of a 2016 European Tour. Lara was also the second-place winner in the 2021 Sphinx Solo Competition and the winner of the 2021 Frank Preuss International Violin Competition.
The CSO Fellowship Program has been developed with full support from Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti as part of his ongoing commitment to training the next generation of musicians, as well as the CSO Members’ Committee and the Chicago Federation of Musicians. The program builds upon the CSOA’s longstanding focus on the training and development of musicians that began more than 100 years ago with the establishment of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the preprofessional training orchestra affiliated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The CSOA has gone on to create or participate in programs that support young musicians from communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the orchestral field, specifically those interested in gaining entrance to top conservatories and post-secondary music schools as they seek a career in classical music performance. These programs include the Percussion Scholarship Program, Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative (CMPI) and Sphinx Orchestral Partners Auditions.
The CSO Fellowship Program is currently open to early-career string players (violin, viola, cello, double bass) who have graduated from college, university or conservatory and are from populations that have traditionally been underrepresented in American symphony orchestras, including, but not limited to, those who identify as Black, Latino or Indigenous.
Additionally, applicants must have U.S. citizenship, permanent U.S. residency, or an 0-1 or OPT visa at the time of application and must be a member in good standing of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), or willing to join the AFM if accepted to the Fellowship. If accepted, a Fellow may be invited to remain in the program for up to three years.

The National, Wednesday July 10th, 2013
By ZACHERY PER
THE Eastern Highlands provincial health authority (PHA) board has hailed Governor Julie Soso’s strong support for the health sector in the province.
PHA board chairman David Wong commended Soso during a consultative meeting on Monday, saying the governor had provided K1 million for the labour ward, K600,000 for the cancer unit at the Goroka Base Hopital and committed K5 million to other health projects and services, including a housing scheme for medical officers and a family support centre.
Wong presented a comprehensive report on the authority to Soso that reaffirmed her support for the development of health services in the province.
Soso reassured the PHA board that she would continue to support them in their pursuit to develop health services in the eight districts of Eastern Highlands.
She said health services in the province were the best in the country some years ago but that was not the case at present and the authority had to strive to improve that.
“We must focus on restoration through transformation through unity because there is so much money coming into the districts for health services and they should closely monitor expenditure benefit the people,” she said.
The governor said she would allocate K1 million to upgrade the Kassam health centre to hospital status with the assistance of the Health Department and Obura-Wonenara MP Merrah Minne Kipefa but the project would need additional funding ofabout K10 million.
Soso said her proposal to set up a cancer unit for women should be pursued by the PHA to provide the facility.
Meanwhile, acting provincial administrator Bill Kavanamur called for closer monitoring of a K1 million funding for district health services held in the district services improvement programme.

You know how, when you come to buy tickets online for an event, they’re sold out within seconds of going on sale? That’s not just hard luck, you’re being cheated.
Ticket touts are rigging the system with bots that enable them to snap up thousands of tickets at a time to sell them on at a huge profit on secondary market sites like StubHub.
Now, it appears someone, specifically the state of New York, is ready to do introduce measures that could level the playing field.
The decision comes following a plea from the creator of the ultra-successful Broadway musical Hamilton, which is almost impossible to buy tickets at the original point of sale, for thanks largely to the scalper bots.
Reports have suggested scalpers had been making up to $20,000 a week from the scam, with tickets starting at over $1,000.
Lin-Manuel Miranda wanted the act classed as a felony and also for resale sites to list the original value of the ticket.
While New York isn’t being quite that strict, it’s a step in the right direction for consumers who constantly see themselves priced out of the most popular events due to inflated secondary market fees.
“New Yorkers have been dealing with this frustrating ticket buying experience for too long,” said Assemblymember Marcos Crespo said.
“Countless have lost opportunities to experience the richness of our arts and entertainment industry because there are those willing to circumvent by using automated software to deprive the average consumer of access to entertainment venues.”
Let’s hope more states and nations follow New York’s lead.


One of the primary issues with Samsung foldable is that their main displays still have an obvious crease, but that may change with the release of the Galaxy Z Fold5. According to a recent claim from Naver News, Samsung will use a novel waterdrop hinge mechanism on the next Z Fold model to do away with the famed screen crease and enable the display to fold fully flat.
The redesigned hinge mechanism prevents the crease between the two sides of the panel by having the folding display take the shape of a droplet inside the hinge body. Similar strategies have already been used with the Moto Razr and Oppo Find N series. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 smartphones continue to have U-shaped hinges that have visible creases and can’t close flat. On the next Z Fold5, Samsung is anticipated to maintain the IPX8 water-resistant grade.

Pipes home is actually a complicated device of components, pipes and installations placed within a residence for the disposal as well as gain access to of water. It’s generally categorized as both sewage as well as safe and clean devices that offer a whole entire city or area. There are several sorts of plumbing, thus ensure to teach on your own on the differences in between all of them prior to thinking about which option is well for you.
Both very most popular plumbing styles are actually those that run through drain pipelines, and also those that get in touch with pipelines that lead directly into your home. Plumbers will typically put in both type of plumbing, yet the very first one will be more probable to become performed. Both of these pipes bodies are actually commonly behind bring both water as well as waste, so it is crucial to comprehend what each type does prior to producing an ultimate option on which one you wish to possess.
It is actually usually a good concept to discover a business that specializes in the project when it arrives to drain water pipes. They may additionally advise products that will make your venture less complicated. Drain pipes frequently become plugged from a range of sources. If a specialist plumbing technician is actually unable to fix it, the concern can worsen, therefore increasing the chance of must have your plumbing solution done.
This region needs to be crystal clear of just about anything that can likely obstruct up the water pipes, such as moist fallen leaves and other items that could float in the water. This location is commonly where you’ll find the main pipes installations and also connections, consisting of water drainage units and also toilet electrical outlets.
Once the drainpipe industry is actually crystal clear, it’s opportunity to go on to the major plumbing system lines. These lines are located only below your walls in the floor itself. To properly put in these lines, the plumbing professional will certainly need to have to recognize the exact proximity coming from the flooring to the wall, and the suitable span of pipeline. She or he will definitely also be able to aid you find out the appropriate positioning of shutoffs as well as other plumbing fixtures for your drainage unit.
When the drain industry has been correctly attached to the primary plumbing system lines, the next thing to perform is actually to check that they’re properly installed. They will certainly understand the suitable techniques for this if you’ve selected a provider that specializes in residential plumbing system service. They may additionally be actually capable to assist you on just how to appropriately check and maintain your body.
Another really good concept is to check out the business online for customer reviews. It’s consistently a good idea to get in touch with around to view what sort of action you get from past customers regarding the pipes services the company has actually attended to previous clients.
Pipes business can easily supply you along with various kinds of companies. They may assist with setup, substitute, upkeep, repairing and also fixings. It’s commonly a good idea to talk with your plumbing professional so as to find out precisely what your requirements are before making any sort of decisions.
Lots of professional plumbing professionals have their own devices, thus you’ll want to pick a company that uses each plumbers as well as various other solutions that support plumbing system. There are a lot of companies that deliver to help with water leak diagnosis as well as protection. These firms may help you obtain the ideal possible end results if your main worry is actually avoiding water leakages.
Specialist plumbing technicians will definitely frequently deliver you with a composed estimation of the cost for the solutions they’ll offer. This price quote is going to present you specifically what solutions the company will certainly use. This can easily aid you limit the industry and also be sure you are actually obtaining the greatest bargain.
As soon as you’ve decided on the provider, produce certain you explain your requirements along with the plumbing professional. As an example, if you have unique plumbing needs, a really good plumber is going to have the ability to cover those particulars along with you just before the work being conducted. This will certainly ensure that you receive the greatest achievable result.
While plumbing companies may not be for everybody, they can be very favorable. If you stay in a more mature residence or even one that requires extensive repair services, it might cost looking into acquiring a plumbing company. You’ll manage to spare loan, make lifestyle easier, and appreciate the appeal of a useful and also risk-free residence.
In a feeling, every part of the plumbing body in one’s property is an expansion of the device as an entire. There are also some devices which may not be identified as plumbing system and must be left out completely.
When it comes to pipes a pump is certainly not thought about plumbing given that it is actually just utilized to move a liquid coming from one area to yet another, and also to maintain the water flow going. There are pair of primary types of pumps, firsthand and also secondary. When it concerns plumbers, there are additionally 3 types of pump units – straight water pump, compelled air pump, as well as pressed air pump. These are all important parts of the pipes body.
The pipes unit likewise consists of the drain pipeline. A lavatory is actually not an aspect of the pipes device since it is actually not implied to be plugged or emptied, yet instead it performs as an unit that gathers the rubbish product. When the commode is cleared in to a waste material is discharged, but the bathroom has two drainage units – the primary sewer system and also the snare device.
Plumbing system also includes the transmission of hot water from one location to one more. A main heating boiler possesses a move valve which permits the transmission of water coming from the central heating boiler to a hot water heater, a warm water container, or a water pipe. These are all important pipes components.
Among the most significant plumbing bodies is the water drainage systems. You recognize that rainfall and also flooding are an usual event if you live in a flooding prone area. Flood drains pipes give a course for the water to exit the building in order that it does certainly not cause any harm to your property. The drainage body additionally aids remove any type of fallen leaves, sticks and also twigs that have actually fallen on top of the ground.

We love a good corporate spat here at MT, and it's rarely juicier than when shareholders and directors are at each other's throats. The board of investment fund Alliance Trust is in the middle of just such a tussle with its largest shareholder, Elliott Advisors.
Elliott, a US-owned hedge fund that controls 12% of Alliance, is asking shareholders to vote three new NEDs onto its 7-person board at its forthcoming AGM. It's unhappy with 'persistent underperformance' of Alliance's investment portfolio, the 'high and inflexible nature' of the firm's costs and losses by two of its subsidiaries, and believes City financiers Anthony Brooke, Peter Chambers and Rory Mcnamara can help fix the problems.
Alliance's management is not happy. 'Elliott's proposed resolutions are completely unacceptable,' said its chair Karin Forseke. 'The Board believes that they are a pre-cursor for further disruptive actions from Elliott which are likely to focus solely on engineering an exit from their shareholding and would not be in the interests of all of our shareholders. The Board is unanimous in strongly recommending that shareholders vote AGAINST all of the proposed resolutions'. We did not add the capitals.

During Dr. Tzikas's illustrious career as a facial plastic surgeon, he has helped create youthful faces for thousands of patients. These case studies are a showcase for some of Dr. Tzikas's finest work.
Facelift - Fat Transfer
Lena is an aesthetician / skin care specialist and has a great appreciation for beauty. In her youth, Lena was a national fashion model in her native country of Sweden. Lena wanted a more refreshed look to her face and neck as she did not like the looseness of her skin, especially in the jawline and neck. She also noticed that her face was becoming thinner in the last few years and wanted some more fullness.
Lena underwent a mini lower face and necklift surgery with fat grafting to her cheeks and temples. There are variations of facelift surgery and her preference was to undergo the procedure under local anesthesia. The skin and muscle layer of her face was elevated to a more youthful and natural position without giving her the look of someone that has undergone surgery. A small amount of her own fat taken from her stomach area was placed in her mid and upper face to create a softer look. The fat injected is living, viable cells and has the ability to last for several years.
Her result is subtle yet significant. She looks younger but it is almost impossible to notice that she has undergone cosmetic surgery. Her surgical incisions are also very difficult to notice. She is extremely happy with her result and feels the she looks several years younger.
Procedures performed: Mini face and neck lift, minimal lipografting (fat transfer) to face.

Oil temperatures inside a hose can easily exceed the hose’s threshold temperature (usually between -40 F and 257 F). This extreme heat can bake the inner tube, causing it to harden and crack. This happens when a system runs for too long without giving the oil a chance to cool, which is a common problem with heavy machinery that runs consistently for 8-16 hours at a stretch.

Published at Friday, September 22nd 2017. by olga in Security systems.
Security is a very sensitive issue nowadays. Nowadays, most homes and business establishments are equipped with outdoor security cameras, CCTV kits, as well as other surveillance systems. Outdoor security cameras are essentials. These can be purchased in convenient do-it-yourself kits and easily set up to protect your home and business. These systems typically include weatherproof cameras that can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings. These can also be used together with fake security cameras.
• Is there a natural light source and will you be using them in darkness? Infrared cameras are a must if you will be monitoring any areas that are in total darkness or have low light situations at different times.
• Cables. Systems should be connected with signal cables from the cameras to the TV, VCR, computer or DVR for recording purposes. DVRs and cameras should have power cables. It is a must to determine where the camera will be mounted so that you will know ahead of time how much cable you will need. Make sure that the system you buy includes cables to get the system up and running.
Office cameras record every move made by employees, visitors and employers alike. There is constants surveillance on any kind of suspicious or dubious act. Placement at specific points can indeed help in preventing hazardous incidents. Offices should use metal detectors and explosive detectors along with security cameras to make the workplace safe. Certain offices use security cameras as spy cameras to keep an eye on its employees. This stops any immoral or irresponsible act conducted during office hours.
• Outdoor Surveillance Dome Camera. This is the most common outdoor security cameras. It is shaped like a dome and mounted on the outdoor walls. It is quite popular because of its shape that is trendy and it blends well with the surroundings. It is also a bit difficult to figure out the position of the camera lens because of its shape.
• DVR. This is a hard drive that allows you to record and playback the video feed from the security system. When the memory becomes full, the new video signal will then overwrite the oldest one. There are some systems that have memories large enough to record 150 days worth of footage.

This piece was in response to a friend talking about her overwhelming feelings of anger regarding this pandemic we are in the middle of. It is amazing how much childhood stuff this situation has brought up. There are themes that I have been meaning to explore for a long time – or really – to write about – the exploring has been going on for a lifetime. And before the virus exploded, I was looking at how I want to live my life (as I do constantly) and thought I might finally be strong enough to write the memoir – or at least fiction based on real life. Anyway – here was my response.
This is so beautiful. I am having a hard time right now putting into words my anger and my terror. Your determination to stand up is helping me immensely right now. Your story is so well-written, I feel like I can be standing with you and feeling it.
The anger I feel is so big it is hard to breathe. I think I need to dive into it – writing is so helpful. Today I am going to get on my bike and ride up to Elden Lookout road and see how far I can go (it’s likely very muddy, so it may not be far). Nature is a big reset for me. Then, the writing.
My partner will not stop talking about the New World Order and it feels like being strangled. He is angry. It’s a powerless feeling turning over your power to a failed system. I understood that at such a young age, but to be reminded of it over and over again is making my heart hurt. At first I thought he was trying to get me to understand his point of view – but I think he just needs to vent. His perspective, and some of his political points of view are so different from mine, so male – even though we come to the same conclusion. This is a weird dance, he is such a loving, feeling sensitive man – he loves the world, he is hurting for the world. It’s hard to see him so full of hurt.
This morning I said to him, I fell out of the practice of my affirmations and envisioning my future, and all the tools I have for making big change in my life. Things are big right now – and now is the time to use the tools. I was living the life I wanted, making all those paintings, and making music – being in bands. And just as I released the paintings and I was ready to shift my focus back to more teaching and music, the pandemic hit. I have to get back into looking at how I want my world to be while simultaneously dealing with this day-to-day stuff. Having no vision for the future is crushing. I can’t give in to the uncertainty of it all – I have to believe that I am, that I can, create my future.
I have done so much work around money and feelings of self-worth and love. And it really feels like a test right now. Especially since I decided to change how I earn money – through art and music and teaching. I was pretty much squeezed out of the university anyway, so I took my chance. Every single gig has been canceled – even out until June. Working through the anxiety to put the new creative ideas around money into action has been difficult. Each day I feel a little stronger, but what once took me 30 minutes now takes me two hours.
I know I am not alone in this.
I don’t want to be homeless. That is probably my biggest secret fear. Figuring out what home even means has been the struggle of my lifetime.
I am definitely reliving what it was like to live on the streets – when I was 16/17 years old I was a squatter living in an abandoned building on the Lower East Side of New York. You figure out how to survive no matter what. I don’t ever want to go back there, but I remember getting the distinct feeling that living on the streets was preparing me for something to come. Eck. I learned where to find food, which restaurants would throw away their leftovers packed in foil, where to find water to bathe with, which bars were friendly to underage kids (sometimes staying there til closing just to be warm), how to negotiate my way out of danger, when to stay quiet and when to speak up, how to avoid violence. It was a very black and white world, one where fear is so rock bottom that you have no choice but to become fearless.
By the time I was 14, I was well aware that authority figures would fail me. I was on my own. This is something I’ve wanted to write about for a long time – but could not do because it hurt too much. And just before this outbreak, I was saying, I think I am ready. And reading your story – I realize – yes – I think one of the things that will get us through is our stories.
Wow – well, I didn’t think I was going to write that much. Just that your story is so moving and powerful. You are powerful. And I am grateful for your story and your courage.
I keep reminding myself to ask – what’s the gift? There is definitely the gift of going deep (no choice?), getting real, and looking fear and anger directly in the eye and allowing it’s expression by asking – what have you got?
So much love and gratitude!

Loctite Corp. violated the federal Toxic Substances Control Act 62 times in making two chemical substances at its suburban Cleveland operations in 1989 and 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.
Hartford-based Loctite said Wednesday that it had paid a $225,000 penalty to settle the complaint. The EPA said Loctite violated the toxic substances act when it failed to notify the EPA before making the two substances.
Loctite made one of the substances 46 times and the other 16 times, without proper notice, the agency said. The EPA said it proposed fining Loctite $450,000 for the suspected violations, but agreed to trim the penalty by half because the company brought the matter to the agency's attention.
A spokesman for the EPA in Chicago, Don de Blasio, said he found it baffling that Loctite repeatedly made the chemicals without notifying the agency, but then notified it of the lapse. "I can't say why they didn't submit the paperwork in the first place," de Blasio said.
Western A. Todd, Loctite's spokesman, said he did not know why the notice was not given as required, but he suggested that a procedural lapse occurred.
De Blasio described the $225,000 penalty as "a pretty good sum. We considered it pretty serious."
Loctite, a specialty chemical company, reported profits last year of $67.4 million.

Can apple cider vinegar treat erectile dysfunction? Apple cider vinegar is thought to have many health benefits, but can it help treat erectile dysfunction (ED)? ED can result from cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and other factors. Apple cider vinegar may help improve symptoms of conditions related to ED. Find out how it may help, and how to use it safely. Read now
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be treated by urologists or other specialists or even by your general practitioner. Your doctor may recommend medication that works by relaxing penis muscles and increasing blood flow into the penis. Other treatments include therapy, implants, surgery and lifestyle changes, like exercising regularly, losing weight and eating right.

Nerves originating in the spinal cord and peripheral ganglia innervate the penis. There are autonomic (parasympathetic and sympathetic), and somatic separate and integrated pathways. The autonomic pathways neurons originate in the spinal cord and peripheral ganglia from the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, respectively. They merge to form the cavernous nerves that travel alongside the prostate, enter the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum to affect the neurovascular events required for tumescence and detumescence. The somatic nerves send sensory information from the penile skin, glans, and urethra via the dorsal penile nerve and pudendal nerve to the spinal cord. The somatic nerves also initiate contraction of the ischio- and bulbocavernosus muscles.
Sexual functioning involves a complex interaction among biologic, sociocultural, and psychological factors, and the complexity of this interaction makes it difficult to ascertain the clinical etiology of sexual dysfunction. Before any diagnosis of sexual dysfunction is made, problems that are explained by a nonsexual mental disorder or other stressors must first be addressed. Thus, in addition to the criteria for erectile disorder, the following must be considered:
I think that a very powerful argument to young men who want to perform at the highest level is to point out the destructive nature of what they’re doing. If they’re having 18 drinks per week, if they’re having three, four, five drinks at any one time, they’re going to guarantee that their erections are not going to be at the highest level. I can’t tell you the number of men who come in saying, they went out, they had a date, they had a big dinner– which, by the way, is also not a great thing for erections, because all the blood is now going to your gut instead of to the genital area. And how important lifestyle changes are to improving your performance, as well, if not better, than the medications. So make certain that you exercise modestly, not excessively. Make certain that you have a smaller meal on an evening or a day that you want to have a sexual encounter, because you want the blood to go, once again, to the penile area and not to your gut. And really, the whole idea of stress– if you’re stressed out, if you’re worried about a lot of things, if you’re distracted, you can’t initiate that psychic stimulus to your spinal cord and then ultimately to your penis. So stress management is incredibly important.
Talk with your doctor before trying supplements for ED. They can contain 10 or more ingredients and may complicate other health conditions. Asian ginseng and ginkgo biloba (seen here) are popular, but there isn't a lot of good research on their effectiveness. Some men find that taking a DHEA supplement improves their ability to have an erection. Unfortunately, the long-term safety of DHEA supplements is unknown. Most doctors do not recommend using it.
Acupuncture may help treat psychological ED, though studies are limited and inconclusive. You’ll likely need several appointments before you begin to notice any improvements. When choosing an acupuncturist, look for a certified practitioner who uses disposable needles and follows U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for needle disposal and sterilization.
The bad news: Men with diabetes are three times more likely to report having problems with sex than non-diabetic men. The most common sexual problem is Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, sometimes called impotence. Even worse, because ED is such a private issue, many men feel embarrassed to discuss the problem with their doctor, or even their partner, so the problem is never addressed.
The somatosensory pathways for erections originate in the penile skin, glans and urethra. Glans afferent sensory free nerve endings are 10-fold more than their corpuscular receptors, and are derived from Aδ and unmyelinated C fibers. The nerve endings coalesce to form the dorsal penile nerve along with other sensory nerve fibers. Through the pudendal nerve they enter the S2-4 nerve roots to terminate on spinal neurons and interneurons. The dorsal nerve is not purely somatic, however. Nerve bundles within the dorsal nerve contain nitric oxide (NO) synthase, found typically in autonomic nerves, and stimulation of the sympathetic chain can leak to evoked potentials from the dorsal nerve and vice versa (10-12).
A meta-analysis of 36 744 men with ED in 12 prospective cohort studies found that the presence of ED significantly increased the risk of CVD, CAD, stroke and all-cause mortality, and the presence of ED was an independent risk factor for CVD. Ponholzer et al found that men with moderate to severe ED had a 65% increased relative risk for developing symptomatic CAD compared with men who did not have ED.26
In some cases, nocturnal penile tumescence testing is performed to find out whether the man has erections while asleep. Healthy men usually have about four or five erections throughout the night. The man applies a device to the penis called a Rigiscan before going to bed at night, and the device can determine whether he has had erections. (If a man is able to have normal erections at night, this suggests a psychological cause for his impotence.)
All devices that are currently approved by the FDA are considered safe for use in magnetic resonance imaging environments. However, 2 previously approved devices–the OmniPhase and the DuraPhase penile prostheses–are not considered safe in this environment. Other surgical procedures–including venous ligation to limit penile venous outflow and penile revascularization procedures–are rarely successful and are not recommended.19 These surgeries are only indicated when a patient demonstrates recent-onset ED and an occlusive lesion seen on angiogram or magnetic resonance angiography and should be performed only in centers of excellence for ED.
Finally, gene therapy and stem cell research has widened the frontier of ED treatment proposed as possibility to even reverse ED. Specifically, gene therapy pertains to repairing the cause of ED by restoring defective gene function and/or altering the expression of the mutant gene (32). Most of the available data on gene therapy are in the animal model. However, a phase I clinical trial in men with ED undergoing intracavernous injection with a DNA plasmid carrying the alpha-subunit of the corporal smooth muscle Maxi-K channel showed promise in increased erectile function based on IIEF assessment sustained throughout the 3-month study period (122).
Erythrocytosis has been noted in men on TRT, and should be monitored every 6–12 months depending upon the patients’ response to changes in haematocrit levels. For mild elevations, the dosage of testosterone can be decreased or the interval of using the medication can be increased. With the haematocrit greater than 50%, decisions to temporarily discontinue the medication or periodic phlebotomy may be indicated.38
In fact, one common reason many younger men visit their doctor is to get erectile dysfunction medication. Often, men with erectile dysfunction suffer with diabetes or heart disease, or may be sedentary or obese, but they don’t realize the impact of these health conditions on sexual function. Along with erectile dysfunction treatment, the doctor may recommend managing the illness, being more physically active, or losing weight.
The nerves and endothelium of sinusoids and vessels in the penis produce and release transmitters and modulators that control the contractile state of corporal smooth muscles. Although the membrane receptors play an important role, downstream signaling pathways are also important. The RhoA–Rho kinase pathway is involved in the regulation of cavernosal smooth muscle contraction.
Caution is recommended regarding the use of PDE-5 inhibitors and alpha-blockers (for example, Hytrin, Cardura, Uroxatral, Flomax, Rapaflo), medications commonly used to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH). The combination of these medications can cause lowering of the blood pressure. Stable use of one therapy should occur prior to the addition of the other therapy, which should start at a low dose.

Approximately 95% of penile implant surgeries are successful in producing erections that enable men to have sexual intercourse. Moreover, patient satisfaction questionnaires show that up to 90% of men who have undergone penile implants say they would choose the surgery again, and overall satisfaction ratings are higher than those reported by men using oral medication or penile injection therapy.
Of the drugs used for depression, tricyclic antidepressants may be associated with erectile problems and other drugs may be substituted to prevent this complication. Currently available substitutes include bupropion, nefazodone, and trazodone. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, citalopram) can also cause difficulties with ED, but they might also have other significant sexual side effects, including decreased libido and anorgasmia.
Recently, several advances in the uses of stem cells have bet met with great anticipation. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into different cell lines based on the cellular signaling they receive. Bone marrow mononuclear cells in particular have been used for the treatment of ED in animal models. Yiou et al. recently delivered bone marrow-mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) into the intracavernous smooth muscle of post radical prostatectomy men (123). The open label, dose escalation phase I/II trial showed improvements in IIEF-15 assessment as well as increased vascularization of the corpora based on penile Doppler arterial velocity measurements. Although promising, further investigation in humans is required to substantiate BM-MNCs impact on erections, and erectile function recovery going forward.
There are many alternative impotence treatments available but many of them are neither licensed nor legitimate, Beware of sellers offering “herbal” impotence treatments - these remedies do not work and are often sold illegally. You should also be wary of online sellers who offer Viagra and other prescription drugs without asking you for a prescription. Illegal pharmacies often sell counterfeit or fake medication and buying from them could put your health at risk.

A vacuum erection device is a plastic tube that slips over the penis, making a seal with the skin of the body. A pump at the other end of the tube makes a low-pressure vacuum around the erectile tissue, which results in an erection. An elastic ring is then slipped onto the base of the penis. This holds the blood in the penis (and keeps it hard) for up to 30 minutes. With proper training, 75 out of 100 men can get a working erection using a vacuum erection device.

The Giving Fields, a program of the Freestore Foodbank, is soon preparing for the season’s final harvest with plans to extend several crops into early November by utilizing low tunnels (miniature greenhouses). The mission of the ten acre farm, located in Melbourne, KY, is to provide fresh, nutritional produce with the help of community partners to our hungry neighbors in Northern Kentucky.
“We begin planting in April,” says Molly Jordan, Farm Manager. “Just last Saturday, I planted broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and turnips. Their harvest will be the last of the season.”
The ten acre farm yields a wide variety of produce – everything from tomatoes, beans, kale, squash and cabbage, to herbs, fresh flowers and blueberries. A fruit orchard was planted three years ago and is expected to produce its first crop of apples, plums, peaches, cherries and pears next summer. “Once the trees reach maturity, their bounty will continue to grow each year,” says Molly.
Asparagus will also be ready to pick next year, and the bee hive established this summer is expected to yield its first honey harvest in 2015. During the off-season, Molly and the Freestore Foodbank collaborate with Dave Koester, a horticulture agent with the University of Kentucky’s Campbell County Cooperative Extension Office, to map out what will be planted the following spring and summer.
The off-season is also the time when soil testing is done to determine proper fertilization. Soybeans that are grown and then plowed under in the spring work to replenish the land’s vital nutrients with nitrogen.
Harvesting begins in early June, with teams of volunteers working several days a week to pick produce from roughly six acres of farmland. Delta and Kroger have sent multiple teams to work in the fields – everything that is harvested goes directly to local community partners to help distribute the food – that same day. “Nothing gets wasted,” says Molly.
Several elementary school groups have also visited the farm, providing the children not only with the chance to pick fresh produce, but also the opportunity to learn more about agriculture. “I’ll show them a ‘good’ bug, and tell them why it’s good, vs. a ‘bad’ bug, and why it’s bad,” laughs Molly.
This fall, a pavilion will be built on the farm to provide shelter, and a small greenhouse will also be added, allowing Molly to start cold season transplants – tomatoes, peppers, kale and collards – that can be planted in the early spring.
Research is currently being done on the prospect of some day adding shrimp and tilapia ponds. Eventually, Molly envisions building a chicken coop to provide fresh eggs. “With the communities support, the opportunities to grow this farm are really exciting,” she says.

Signs of Alzheimer’s are found in chimpanzees for the first time in a breakthrough that could help create new drugs to treat the disease in humans
Signs of Alzheimer's disease have been found in the brains of chimpanzees for the first time.
Researchers say it is unclear whether the characteristic 'plaques and tangles' they found cause dementia in the animals.
The team says the Alzheimer's signs were more prominent in older chimps, just like in humans, and that their findings could help develop new drugs for the disease.

On Thursday 22nd March 2018, a group of 9 students studying GCSE PE at The Quest Academy travelled to Crystal Palace Park National Sports Centre to volunteer, amongst others, to lead the groups participating in the London Youth Games.
Once there, we split into pairs, and one group of 3, and were allocated a school group of around 10 primary or secondary school students who we stayed with throughout the day.
The sports we participated in were unique because they had been altered to be targeted towards people who live with a disability like blindness, or the inability to walk. An example of some of the sports were: Visually Impaired football and netball, Goal ball, Boccia, Sitting Volley ball and cricket. Each of these sports was really fascinating to help teach and to learn about as it was really interesting to see the disabled version of the sports.
Throughout the day, we guided our school groups through the different sports stations we had been allocated and helped the students to participate in the range of activities each of the sports had to offer. Whilst doing this, we were on a rota to ensure that each of the school groups had enough time to experience each of the unique opportunities, so we spent between 45 minutes and an hour on each station before rotating.
Overall, it was a really great day, where we could develop our leadership skills and also learn about how we can adapt sports to be suitable, and cater for everyone.

Hodgdon Powder offers the largest selection of quality smokeless propellants for any reloading application.
Hodgdon HS-6 is a fine spherical, double-based propellant that has wide application in pistol and shotshell. In pistol, 9mm, 38 Super, 40 S&W, and 10mm Auto are some of the cartridges where HS-6 provides top performance. In shotshell, HS-6 yields excellent heavy field loadings in 10 ga., 12 ga., 20 ga., and even the efficient and effective 28 ga. HS-6 is truly an outstanding spherical propellant. HS-6 is identical to Winchester’s discontinued 540.
Warning About Smokeless Powder:
Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.
Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.
Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute.
A great powder for any …
A great powder for any semi-auto loading. Same as Win540. Sometimes used to make major power in 9mm. Works well in 9mm to 10mm or .45 with heavier bullets. Also good in .38 up to 44 Mag. Does not match H110 for velocity in mag revolver loads, but does well and is great for medium loads. Perfect for .40 S&W, but Longshot can give higher velocity in hot semi-auto loads. Works well-formed to heavy loads in almost all handgun calibers and can’t be beaten for reducing the no. of powders on your bench. Seems cleaner than most ball powders too.

Ford hopes to alleviate "range anxiety" for EV owners by providing up-to-the-minute information on where to find the nearest place to charge up.
With the release of MyFord Mobile , EV drivers can now locate more than 9,445 public charging stations across the U.S. The app is designed to work with the Ford Focus Electric, as well as the C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid models to be released this fall.
The app should come in handy for electric car owners as the number of EV charging stations in the U.S. has almost quadrupled since the end of 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, with more than 6,000 installed in the last six months.
"I cannot recall another time in our history when there was so much momentum and resources around an energy shift for transportation," said Mike Tinskey, Ford's manager of vehicle electrification and infrastructure. "Not only are these charge stations a boost for consumers thinking about a plug-in hybrid vehicle, but they also provide a glimpse of how things will likely take shape in the future.”
To provide real-time information on EV charging station locations, MyFord Mobile has tapped MapQuest which gathers data and information sources provided by the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
The app, which is free and available for iPhone and Android users, not only can locate charging stations but manage remote charging, view current battery status and provide step-by-step directions.

AstraZeneca is developing a next-generation long-acting antibody for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19, which it plans to make available in the second half of 2023.
AstraZeneca’s Evusheld is no longer authorized for use in the United States, according to a notice from the FDA. Evusheld had been granted an emergency use authorization (EUA) in December 2021 for COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis. It is a combination of two long-acting antibodies — tixagevimab and cilgavimab — derived from B-cells donated by convalescent patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Data show Evusheld is unlikely to be active against certain SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the omicron subvariants currently circulating in the United States. According to the most recent CDC modeling data, these variants are projected to be responsible for more than 90% of current infections in the United States. This means that Evusheld is not expected to provide protection against developing COVID-19 if exposed to those variants.
In a statement, AstraZeneca said it will continue to work with the FDA to assess and share relevant data regarding Evusheld and SARS-CoV-2 variants. Evusheld currently remains authorized in other countries where it is approved for COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment, including the EU and Japan.
The company has initiated the SUPERNOVA program, a phase 1/3 trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of a next-generation long-acting antibody in COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis in an immunocompromised population. In in vitro lab studies, the new long-acting antibody has been shown to neutralize all SARS-CoV-2 variants tested to date, including variants that have proved resistant to other monoclonal antibodies.
AstraZeneca is aiming to make the new long-acting antibody available in the second half of 2023.

Organized as part of the Feed the Future initiative, the Africa Great Lakes Coffee Support program (AGLC) aims to create opportunities to increase the productivity of farmers in the Great Lakes Region and reduce the impact of the potato taste defect (PTD) – a defect that makes otherwise excellent coffee taste like potato. The acting Head of Mission for USAID Rwanda and CEO of National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB) opened the meeting, and GKI facilitated the 50 key stakeholders in attendance as they identified the most important bottlenecks to boosting productivity and reducing PTD.
Through its LINK program, GKI has worked on PTD in Rwandan coffee in partnership with the University of Rwanda and numerous international partners since 2011. In 2014, GKI partnered with the Rwanda Development Board, the Ministry of Agriculture, NAEB, and other partners to host a Coffee Research Symposium and Collaboration Colloquium in Kigali. This event resulted in a Potato Taste Challenge Prize, currently being implemented by the Rwanda Agriculture Board, and helped lay the groundwork for the AGLC program.

Tracing the Ownership of Alabama: A Historical Overview
Before the land we now know as Alabama became a part of the United States, it was inhabited and controlled by various indigenous groups. The rich history of Alabama is a tapestry woven with the stories of the Native American tribes who first called this land home. These tribes included the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Chickasaw, among others. They lived off the land, with societies and cultures that were complex and deeply connected to the natural world around them.
European Claim and Colonial Rule
The first European claim to the region was made by the Spanish in the 16th century, followed by the French who established Mobile in 1702 as the first permanent European settlement. The area was a battleground for European powers vying for control of the New World, with the French, Spanish, and British all staking claims at different times. It wasn’t until the Treaty of Paris in 1763 that the British gained control of the territory, only to cede it to the United States in 1783 after the American Revolution.
Transition to American Statehood
Alabama became a part of the Mississippi Territory in 1798 and was subsequently admitted as the 22nd state to the Union in 1819. The transition from indigenous lands to a U.S. state involved treaties, land cessions, and unfortunately, the forced removal of Native American tribes through policies like the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
Q: What tribes originally inhabited Alabama?
A: The Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Chickasaw were some of the major tribes.
Q: When did Alabama become a U.S. state?
A: Alabama was admitted to the Union on December 14, 1819.
Q: What was the Indian Removal Act?
A: The Indian Removal Act was a law passed in 1830 that authorized the forced relocation of Native American tribes living east of the Mississippi River to lands west of the river.
Indigenous: Originating naturally in a particular place; native.
Treaty of Paris: The 1763 agreement that ended the Seven Years’ War and the French and Indian War, resulting in British dominance over the territories in North America.
Indian Removal Act: A federal law passed by Congress during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, calling for the relocation of Native American tribes.
