.Compressed Air Systems and Performance Efficiency
Pressure drop is a crucial aspect of compressed-air technology that is often overlooked. It is defined as the reduction in air pressure from the compressor discharge to the point of use. And is caused by resistance encountered by the compressed air as it moves through the system’s components. This includes pipes, valves, and fittings. Even a minor pressure drop can significantly reduce the system’s efficiency and operational cost. If achieving a high-performance compressed air system is the goal. Then it is essential to have a thorough understanding of pressure drop and its management.
The impact of pressure drop goes beyond technical glitches, affecting the system’s efficiency and operational costs. A higher pressure drop necessitates the compressor to work harder to maintain the required pressure. Leading to increased energy consumption and a larger carbon footprint. Additionally, a significant pressure drop can negatively impact the functioning of air-operated equipment, leading to inferior product quality and reduced productivity.
Compressed Air Systems and Performance Efficiency
These specialized tools require a steady, precise pressure to operate optimally. A pressure drop can lead to inadequate performance, resulting in less effective blow off, cleaning, or cooling applications. For instance, an air knife used to strip away excess liquid or debris may fall short, leaving residues that could compromise the quality of the final product or the efficiency of subsequent processes.
Prevention and consistent monitoring are the two-pronged approach to addressing pressure drop. Prevention involves designing a system that minimizes resistance by employing larger diameter pipes, minimizing bends in the piping, and opting for low-resistance components. Regular maintenance to eliminate leaks and blockages further reduces pressure drop and prolongs the system’s lifespan. Monitoring via pressure gauges, flow meters, and real-time monitoring equipment can unveil and help rectify pressure drop issues, ensuring the engineered air nozzles and air knives perform as intended.
In conclusion, pressure drop in compressed air systems is a critical factor that warrants meticulous attention. By understanding its implications and adopting a vigilant approach towards prevention and monitoring, operators can significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of compressed air systems. Timely addressing of pressure drop issues translates to energy savings and a more sustainable and productive operational environment, ensuring that engineered air nozzles and air knives function optimally to uphold the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

I’m behind. WAY behind. Every time I think about posting an update on the blog I remember that I still have previous updates to do. I have a handful of posts drafted that I still need to finish, but I thought I’d get a head start on a simple updates post and then go back to finishing the others that beg for a bit more colorful commentary (i.e. Grand Canyon, Wild West Relay, and Leadville!).
Grand Canyon – May 2016
The Grand Canyon is hands down one of my favorite places on this planet. One week after the Collegiate Peaks 25M my friend CoCo and I headed to the big ditch for a R2R2R attempt. I had a rough go and turned around at the Manzanita rest stop for a 42-mile day, while CoCo succeeded in the full trip. This adventure deserves its on post, which is already in the works.
Cottonwood Classic 5K – May 2016
One week after the Grand Canyon trip I spontaneously registered for the Cottonwood Classic 5K in Thornton to run with Shae and see how she’d do in a race. We had a blast and Shae ran her first 5K in 23:20, good enough for first canine and 3rd AG for me.
Rock Hawk Trail 10K – May 2016
Geez, May was busy! The last race I did in May was the Rock Hawk Trail 10K in Castle Rock. What a doozy! The course is completely singletrack with zero flats, just 700’+ of elevation gain and loss. I went out way too fast (what’s new?) but was able to hang on for 3rd place female overall. What’s even more exciting is that the Roost swept the ladies’ podium, and I was absurdly excited to be a part of it and among such amazing athletes.
Dirty Thirty – June 2016
This race is insane. Like stupid insane. It has 7,400’+ of vert over 32 miles of pretty technical terrain. I was simply happy to survive, finishing up in 7:30. Of course I’m already thinking about next year.
Great Grandma’s Challenge – June 2016
Quite possibly my favorite weekend of all time, Pete and I headed to Minny for Grandma’s Marathon weekend in mid-June. We had an amazing time with friends who stayed with us up at Superior Shores, and I ran the William A. Irvin 5K on Friday night and Grandma’s Marathon on Saturday morning. The 5K was fun, and I finished up 12th female, 5th AG. The marathon was even more fun, even though I went out a little fast and bonked early on. I ended up just settling into an easy pace and enjoying the event, finishing up in 3:51:43.
Longmont Trail 10K – July 2016
One day after running the Peak to Peak trail with Ben, I ran the Longmont Trail 10K.
Needless to say, my legs were DEAD for the 10K. I struggled early on and finished up in 49 minutes, surprisingly grabbing 3rd in my AG.
Classic 10K – July 2016
I registered for the Classic 10K with the hopes of some 10K redemption. While this race is much different than the previous week’s 10K (downhill on mostly paved sidewalk), I was still elated to finish up in 45:40.
Chase the Moon – July 2016
Wild West Relay – August 2016
Hands-down one of the best experiences of my life. Badasses Becki Lynn and Mur joined me on team Hallucinettes (sponsored by Hallucination Sports) for the 200-mile Wild West Relay. We set a new course record (among both men and women) for the 3-person super ultra category, finishing in 29 hours and 58 minutes. Stay tuned: this event deserves its own post!
Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon
Leadville 100 – August 2016
I’m not going to say much about Leadville, other than missing the cutoff at Twin Lakes Inbound (mile 60.5) due to a knee injury. I’ll write a separate post soon.
I took some time off after Leadville and tried to cross train as much as possible and rehab the knee. I’m still not 100%, but have been slowly trying to get back into the swing of things.
World Orphans 5K – September 2016
Denver Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon
Backcountry Wilderness Half Marathon – November 2016
Holy hell did this race remind me how out of shape I am right now! Last year I ran this race in 1:47 and change. This year? 2:02 and change. YIKES. My legs died right around mile 6 and they did NOT come back. I can’t help but simply shake my head and remind myself that I’m not 100% and it’s going to take time to come back from the knee injury.
What’s up next?
No clue. I don’t have any races on the horizon and I’m going to continue to rehab the knee. I’m looking forward to jumping into things as they come up and getting the knee to 100% so I can plot and plan for next year. The wheels are already turning, now I just need to get my legs to do the same :).

I bought a new Nest thermastat and it quickly stopped working. When you engage the Nest unit to turn on the AC/Heat, the unit starts up but they quickly stops. I had to have an HVAC technician (Nest certified) come out to trouble shoot. He said it was not compatible with my main unit. After wiring it to properly work, it was working then shut off. He came back out and he said it is a power issue. HVAC unit works fine, but with the nest device it shuts off after initially engaging. I have another Nest unit that was installed for my upstairs unit (separate unit) and that works fine. I swapped the devices and the bottom unit still has the same issue. Have you see this before and any advice?
Sorry to hear about the trouble. I wanted to follow up and see if I could be of any help. Do you mind me asking if you have a C wire/Nest Power Connector? Are you seeing any error codes on the device? Please let me know, as I would be happy to take a closer look and assist you further.
@KentK how's it going with your Nest Thermostat? We would really appreciate it if you can share with us what Jake is asking, so that we can come up with an option. Let us know if you have more questions in mind. If possible, can you share with us the photo of the wiring setup of your old and new thermostats?
Looking forward to your response.
I appreciate the help, Jake.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

What you need to know about residential loans for Bulgarians living abroad.
Trends in Real estate
Modern technologies and communication channels have advanced to such an extent that there are no longer any barriers to where we can live. In recent years, there has been a growing interest from the Bulgarians living abroad to buy real estate in Bulgaria.
An annual report shows that banks have registered 55% growth of mortgage loan applications of Bulgarians living abroad. The growing interest is due both to the positive market trends and to the growing number of Bulgarians who have discovered their professional or life realization outside their motherland.
Many Bulgarians who work and live abroad want to buy their own home in Bulgaria. Regarding this aim, they can take advantage of the services of banks that give mortgages specially for them. A large group of buyers track microprocesses in the real estate sector and have already noted an increase in their rental yield. A positive trend is the return of well-educated people, specialists in different areas.
They appreciate the country's development and wish to stay temporarily or permanently on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, taking advantage of the modern lifestyle of the properties located in a secure complex in close proximity to the sea. In both cases, it is about informed people who are fully aware of what kind of property they want and what purpose they will use it with.
At present, almost all banking institutions grant residential loans to Bulgarians living abroad. An important condition for granting the loan is to establish a mortgage on a real estate and this must be on the territory of Bulgaria. The maximum amount of the grant is equal to the maximum funding applied by the banks. It usually varies between 50% and 80% of the market price of the property provided for a guarantee.
Residential loans for Bulgarians living abroad
This kind of mortgage loans are closely specialized and designed for Bulgarian citizens, working and/or living abroad. An important feature that needs to be addressed is that most banks require the borrower to have a permanent address in Bulgaria, but there are also such offering mortgage loans to Bulgarians living abroad, who have no permanent residence in the country.
The amount of the loan is determined by the policy of the particular bank. Funding is a percentage to the market value of the property, with a long repayment term and the currency may be Euro or leva (BGN). The maximum loan amount is up to EUR 250,000 (BGN 500,000) for some, while for others, the size limitations are defined as a percentage of the financing relative to the respective value of the real estate and the proven creditworthiness. As we have already noted, this percentage varies from one bank to another.
The maximum repayment loan term is between 15 and 35 years, and the minimum is 5 years. However, in general, no pre-term redemption fee is charged after the first year of the loan period. The settlement is the mortgage on the real estate, as the client can guarantee with all his property or with limited property.
It is possible to require other guarantee, such as cash for a certain period of time. Moreover, some banks require borrowers to designate a contact person in Bulgaria if there is a problem with the application and payment process. This is intended to minimize some risks for both parties, such as the timely receipt or transfer of documentation. In certain banks, the borrower applies with a guarantor, who has to prove income in Bulgaria and guarantee the repayment of the loan.
The necessary documentation is directly dependent on the country, in which the income and the requirements of the selected bank are realized. It is important to clarify that, in relation to the policy of the banking institution, some of the documents issued abroad must be translated and legalized. All banks require a copy of a permanent employment contract with a start date of at least 1 year ago, and in the process of negotiation you will have to present the documents for the property. The loan can be disbursed on a one-off basis or installments, according to the established plan.
Part of the documents depend on your specific client profile, for which you should follow the instructions of your bank consultant. The repayment installment is chosen according to your options and preferences: a declining or an equal monthly one. It may be that a certified document proving that you are a regular payer on your current credits, if you have any. Not all banks require a mandatory life insurance from the borrower. It is a convenience that in almost all banks, you can not just make an on-site consultation in its branches, but you have the option of online inquiries to specify the details. Many banks offer an option for online application and free consultation through skype conference calls.
More and more Bulgarians with permanent income who live and work abroad want to invest in the purchase of a home in Bulgaria. This also determines the need for a loan type, which conditions meet these Bulgarians‘ specific needs. The particular features of different housing loans for Bulgarians abroad require careful judgment, because this is the real step towards the dream home.

Spring on the way
Despite snow prevailing in some parts of the U.S. and continuing cold nights and mornings in Atlanta, spring is beginning to show its face clearly. We’ve just unpacked a shipment of yardage (for a folding screen in our new showroom), hand-knotted guest towels, napkins and placemats in the classic Busatti Donna di Coppe fabrics shown here. This weave is bi-colore, where the warp is not a typical natural ivory or taupe thread but instead a thread-dyed color, adding 2 layers of beautiful color to the fabric. The pink thread is antique pink, one of our favorites; it is more neutral than one might expect and a continuing pleasure to look at. We see the essence of spring in these fabrics: enduring, fresh beauty and color.
We are putting finishing touches on our showroom; please contact us to visit-we are there most weekdays!

Teen Titans: Raven is a Great Comics Debut for Kami Garcia
Over the last few decades, comics’ appeal to younger audiences has decreased more and more. One problem, certainly, is that younger audiences are more inclined to buy a graphic novel, or collected volume, then they are single issues. This is an age of binge-watching. Oddly, it’s an age where kids want to be engaged in something for a lengthy period of time. They can watch 9 hours of Stranger Things in 2 days. And the industry expects them to read just 20 pages of a story, once a month, for three to six months? It doesn’t work anymore. But now we have something that can work for Young Adult readers, and hopefully the first of many: Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo’s Teen Titans: Raven.
Teen Titans: Raven Is Pure YA Fiction
There are definitely comics out there suitable for young adults, such as G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel and Gail Simone’s Batgirl, but they both straddle the line of YA, but appealing to an older audience (in the case of Ms. Marvel), or the other way around: Adult but appealing to YA (Batgirl). Kami Garcia’s Teen Titans: Raven is unapologetically YA. It has all the teen drama of young romance, forming friendships, angst, coming-of-age, and even a Prom.
It’s also very much written for a young adult female audience. That shouldn’t be surprising. Before Teen Titans: Raven, Kami Garcia was best known for Beautiful Creatures, a best-selling, critically acclaimed YA series and a box office bomb. However, just because it’s written for that audience doesn’t mean it’s only for that audience. Case in point: Me. I’m a 34-year-old guy. I am definitely not the target demographic. I mainly read this to see if it would be good for my 10-year-old niece (I think it is) and review it. Now I’m thinking I’ll have to buy another copy because I’m keeping this one.
Of All the Teen Titans, why Raven?
One reason is because Raven is Garcia’s favorite Teen Titan. In her intro, she recalls:
When DC approached me about writing for them, the Teen Titans came to mind. Why write just one book when I could write a series about a group of badass teens—beginning with my favorite member, Raven?Teen Titans: Raven, Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo, DC INK
Reading Teen: Titans: Raven, it’s clear that Garcia has a deep connection to the character. What Garcia taps into best is how Raven struggles so much with finding her place. Who hasn’t struggled with that in high school? Because of an accident, Raven lost her memory and has to decide who she is while rediscovering aspects of herself. There’s a wonderful scene where a boy she likes brings her a bag of candy bars so she can sample each one until she finds the one that used to be her favorite. In high school, we discover a lot about ourselves. Imagine having to rediscover what your favorite foods were at the same time!
Gabriel Picolo and David Calderon Capture YA Prose in Sequential Art
YA prose has certain qualities and tricks, just like any form of prose literature. While Garcia has the YA storytelling mastered, Teen: Titans: Raven would not work without Gabriel Picolo. This is a YA book in art just as much as it is in writing. Thanks to Calderon, we also get a fun black and white comic with splashes of color—mostly purple, of course. In fact, through the book, Raven is often the only character with any color, even it’s just the purple in her hair. This makes Raven stick out even more, drawing our attention to her every time she’s in the panel. It helps us to focus, sure, but it further isolates Raven too, in a storytelling technique.
Coming Soon to Schoolrooms Everywhere
I teach graphic novel literature for college students—mainly graduate students in an MFA program. They’re often shocked at how “adult” the themes are, and then ask if there are good graphic novels they can suggest for middle or high school students. Garcia and Picolo’s Teen Titans: Raven is the answer to that question (not the only one). This is a great graphic novel to teach, and is age suitable (my class is reading Mister Miracle by Tom King right now which is definitely not suitable for a middle school kid). It’s also a single volume, told as one continuous story, not a collected edition. The pacing and chapter breakdowns work much better for a young reader than a standard graphic novel that has generally six issues collected. Kids will love this book—that alone can help teachers get them talking and writing about it.
After Teen Titans: Raven, Garcia and Picolo are teaming up again for Teen Titans: Beast Boy…which doesn’t come out for another year. Kami, Gabriel, we love that you’re doing a series of Teen Titan books, but maybe give us two books a year? Kthnxbai (I’m totally hip, yo!).
Roman Colombo finished his MFA in 2010 and now teaches writing and graphic novel literature at various Philadelphia colleges. His first novel, Trading Saints for Sinners, was published in 2014. He's currently working on his next novel and hoping to find an agent soon.

When the slide is held back, the Glock automobile sear works by launching a binary dynamite that locks in the chamber. The trigger then follows the bolt forward and releases when the hammer comes out. The weapon is not totally automatic unless you have actually set the gun to complete auto. Will The Nikon P-tactical Spur Fit Glock Mos.
Adjustments to semi-automatic guns
Adjustments to semi-automatic guns are not without debate. They are basically the very same guns that were prohibited in 1989.
In the past couple of years, there have been a variety of high-profile attacks including automated weapons. These include the shooting in Sacramento, which eliminated six individuals, and the attack in Washington, DC that killed 4 people. Also, a policeman in Houston was killed by an illegally converted weapon. CNN discovered lots of other cases of prohibited conversion gadgets.
The Uzi design and the AK47 design are two examples of weapons that have gone through modifications to fulfill sporting purposes. Both of these firearms are semiautomatic weapons based upon the designs of military attack rifles. Modifications to these weapons are legal in some jurisdictions, however may be illegal in others.
Adjustments to semi-automatic weapons have been banned in some countries for various factors. The restriction of semi-automatic rifles has affected the competitive shooting sports, and the restriction has affected the economy. The restriction likewise limits making use of assault rifles for sporting functions, such as hunting.
It was the very first vote on this issue in numerous years and has been not likely to pass. Still, the bill has actually created a heated dispute and shows the differing positions of the prospects on weapon rights. The ban would apply to about 200 types of semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic handguns, and other similar high-powered weapons.
The Glock auto sear has a special security mechanism that keeps the gun from unintentionally firing. It likewise has a selector switch that restricts the type of ammunition that can be utilized with the weapon.
The shooting pin is positioned in a ramped lobe, which contacts the rearmost horizontal area of the trigger bar. It is then required external by a spring-loaded sear. This mechanism operates in combination with the trigger spring and slide real estate to prevent accidental discharges. While this mechanism is helpful, it does not prevent every unintentional discharge.
The Glock vehicle sear consists of a cross-shaped protrusion at the back. The security system avoids unexpected discharges and ensures the weapon is safe to use. Will The Nikon P-tactical Spur Fit Glock Mos.
To remove the Glock automobile sear, you require to eliminate the slide lock. To do this, hold both sides of the frame with your hands. A strong hand will help you separate the slide lock. The recoil spring will move the slide forward, enabling the locking block to clear the locking block in the frame. There are numerous methods to separate the slide from the frame, however the Glock Armorer ‘s Manual recommends that you use a strong hand method.
When you load a Glock automobile sear, the gun will not fire unless the security system is engaged. By avoiding pre-travel, you can make the trigger pull short. It also prevents the shooting pin from accidentally engaging unless you shoot. This safety prevents the gun from inadvertently launching the first round. This makes it extremely hard to mistakenly release a single round. In contrast, other semiautomatic pistols have an external safety device, which can be set with a flick of the thumb.
The Glock vehicle sear features two receivers 20 and 21. They are engaged by the slide 13 of the Glock automobile sear.
This device transforms the gun into a small maker gun that can fire 20 rounds per second. These guns are typically utilized in criminal activities.
The ATF has released an examination into the use of automobile sears. The ATF has recognized a variety of firearms customized with vehicle sears, including a number of Chinese-made guns that can fire totally automatic. Some of the customized guns have actually been sold for hundreds of dollars each.
A Glock car sear is an exceptionally dangerous adjustment to a pistol. This gadget can turn a legal handgun into a fatal weapon in 2.3 seconds if used by wrongdoers. In one case, an ATF representative seized a customized Glock that fired 30 bullets in less than two seconds. This sort of speed makes it challenging to goal and control, and it can put innocent spectators in danger.
Illegality of converting semi-automatic weapons to completely automated weapons
A conversion gadget, known as an auto sear, is a small square gadget about the size of a thumbnail that can convert a semi-automatic gun into a completely automated weapon. Sanders bought the gun in Indiana for less than $25.
Considering that 1986, it is prohibited for civilians to buy completely automatic weapons and offer them without a federal authorization or registration. A little number of totally automated weapons are still for sale in the hobby market, and can sell for 10s of thousands of dollars.
ATF representatives recently seized more than two-thousand bundles of conversion gadgets. These gadgets convert semi-automatic Glock handguns into fully automatic weapons. Federal law thinks about these conversion devices gatling gun, and they were not made by Glock.
While the conversion gadgets are reasonably easy to set up, they are incredibly harmful. These gadgets have been sold online for as little as $20. The costs would punish prohibited weapon modification gadgets and stop their expansion. It would likewise need the Attorney General to include data on illegally modified weapons in its annual guns trafficking report.
A semi-automatic handgun has a high rate of fire, but the fast fire in the videos of the shooting in Las Vegas might have been a fully automated weapon. The ATF ‘s National Firearms Act prohibits the use of fully automatic weapons in civilians, however this restriction has substantial loopholes.
Will The Nikon P-tactical Spur Fit Glock Mos
Converting a semi-automatic gun to a totally automated weapon is not an easy job. You need to sign up the weapon with the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and pay an unique tax. If you put on ‘t comply, you might face severe penalties.
Transforming a semi-automatic weapon to a totally automatic weapon requires a license. The federal gun computer registry forbids the possession of a completely automated weapon unless the owner has a license. In the meantime, the vehicle sear is a growing pattern in the black market and has actually caused numerous criminal offenses and homicides.
The Glock auto sear has a special security system that keeps the gun from inadvertently firing. When you pack a Glock vehicle sear, the weapon will not fire unless the security system is engaged. A conversion device, known as a car sear, is a small square device about the size of a thumbnail that can convert a semi-automatic gun into a completely automatic weapon. Transforming a semi-automatic weapon to a fully automated weapon needs a license. The federal weapon registry forbids the possession of a fully automatic gun unless the owner has a license.

Make law to allocate 6 pc of GDP to education: SisodiaMake law to allocate 6 pc of GDP to education: Sisodia
on Sep 23, 2019 Speaking at the special meeting of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) convened by the Union HRD Ministry to discuss and finalise the National Education Policy, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader demanded that the Centre should make a law to allocate 6 per cent of GDP to education. Preamble to the policy should state that providing good quality education would be the responsibility of government through government schools, he said. While lauding a few provisions of the policy, Sisodia pointed that unless there is a law which binds the governments to allocate the fund, the policy per se will not result in the transformation of education in India. Just like governments are bound by law to have a ceiling on fiscal deficit or one country one tax system, similarly to implement the provision of the New Education Policy, the governments should be bound to spend at least 6 per cent of GDP on education, he said. Emphasising that the quality of education provided in government schools should be at par with the private schools, he said going to private schools should just be an option, not a necessity due to lack of quality education in our government schools. Only 5 per cent of children get access to quality education. The rest 95 per cent are getting an average quality of education. It needs to change. It is the job of the government to provide education to all children, he said. Sisodia, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister, opposed the proposal of a Private Education Board and called it a dangerous idea. These boards will promote private schools and further dilute the responsibility of the government in school education, he said. He hailed the idea of three years of preschool education but sought clarity in the roles of the Department of Woman and Child Development and Education Department. He also supported the recommendations on foundational literacy and numeracy and pointed out that the Delhi Government is already working on it already through Chunauti and Mission Buniyaad initiatives. On higher education, he appreciated the idea of research institutions but cautioned against degree-awarding autonomous colleges. He was also critical about exclusive multi-faculty institutions. The institutions like AIIMS, IITs, and IIMs are niche specialised institutions and their primary character should not be diluted, he said. Sisodia observed that Indian education system has been highly regulated and poorly funded. This needs to change, he said, seeking to revisit the proposal of Rashtriya Shiksha Aayog with the Prime Minister as its Chair. This will add another layer of regulation, he said.


Drivers might be seeing more bicyclists on some North Laguna streets, which were designated Sept. 20 by the City Council as a bike route.
The route will run northerly from Broadway and Cliff Drive, following generally along Monterey and Hillcrest drives to Ledroit Street. A southerly route begins at North Coast Highway and Ledroit and runs generally along Hillcrest and Cypress drives.
"I am delighted," said Les Miklosy, chairman of the Complete Streets Task Force. "Everyone should be. My mantra is: For every person you see on a bicycle, or walking, or riding public transit means one less car on the road and a free parking space."
The council voted 4-0-1 for the bike path.
"I am abstaining for lack of information," Mayor Toni Iseman said.
Staff was unable to document at the meeting the number of traffic lanes required for shared roadway markings, popularly called "sharrows."
The newly designated bike route, which includes one-way streets, will be identified by 25 sharrows and bike route signs.
"Sharrows will be used where legal," said Steve May, director of the Public Works Department.
Caltrans standards for sharrows do not allow them to be used on streets with delineated bike lanes or on roads where speeds exceed 60 miles an hour. They can only be used on streets where there is parallel parking, according to May.
Portions of the new bike route will not be marked by sharrows, but as many as 10, 24-inch bicycle route signs may be installed at intersections where the direction of the route changes.
The sharrows and the signs will cost an estimated $6,000 to install, and ongoing maintenance costs will be about $500 a year. Installation costs will be funded by money budgeted for Pedestrian Pathways and Complete Streets.
Maintenance funds will be included in future budgets.

You can clean this bed inside out - so you never have to worry about what might be living inside your pet's bed. Most beds have a machine-washable cover, but the inner liner isn't recommended for washing. That means dirt, debris, urine, and even flea larva, can become embedded in the liner.
Wash 'N Zip Pet Bed solves that problem. This one-piece bed offers cushiony thickness that comes from several layers, folded and zipped together. Many times beds with this much bulk won't fit into your washer without unbalancing the load. Not so with Wash 'N Zip. When this bed is soiled, you simply unzip and unfold it (so it looks like a blanket), and the entire bed can be equally distributed around the washer for deep cleaning.
With Wash 'N Zip, your dog sleeps sound on a cleaner, more sanitary surface, all year round. This bed is especially great for incontinent pets that dribble on their beds. Unzipped, you can also use the Wash 'N Zip as a hair-catching furniture throw, car seat cover, pet blanket and more.
Bed exterior is made with a polyester sleep surface and 60/40 cotton/poly twill on the bottom and foldable layers. Bed fill is 100% polyester batting with quilted stitching to prevent bunching up in the laundry.

Eurotunnel 'will miss finance date'
CHANNEL Tunnel operator Eurotunnel is likely to bust its year-end deadline to complete financial restructuring, according to Fitch Ratings, the international credit rating agency.
Chairman Jacques Gounon's demand that creditors write off £3.4bn to £3.9bn of its £6.3bn debts 'will be seen by many creditors as trying to defy gravity', says analyst John Hatton.
More than a million French private investors who have picked up Eurotunnel shares around their present price of 19 cents of a euro already face 15% dilution in December when 'stabilisation notes' issued in lieu of interest are converted-into equity by creditors, Hatton says.
Gounon has lost no time in launching restructuring talks with creditors since being appointed chairman in February, 10 months after French private investors threw out Eurotunnel's previous British-led board in an unprecendented revolt.
The company, which lost £570m on revenues of £555m last year after £298m of interest payments and £395m of special charges, is caught between disappointing revenues and the bill for runaway construction costs a decade ago.

Parents and teens aren't the only ones dealing with MySpace's image. Advertisers and MySpace itself are too. Last week the big story was MySpace as a corporate citizen. This week, a snapshot of where MySpace is as a business too – somewhere between "the chaos that is comfortable to many MySpace residents and the neatness that appeals to consumer product companies [advertisers]," as the New York Times put it. Just as in the corporate citizenship space, where MySpace has to strike a balance between keeping youth safe and sending them all to another site in the US or overseas without the safety precautions MySpace does have in place, so it juggles the "chaos" of customization that users love and advertisers hate (or that scares advertisers seeking association with a squeaky clean or at least predictable ad environment). The story illustrates the multidisciplinary challenge of a medium largely produced by its users. By multiple "disciplines," I mean parenting, marketing, copyright law, law enforcement, education, constitutional law, and so on. Advertisers and parents used to be able to count on media that the media companies, the content producers – not the consumers – controlled. Now the medium for advertisers' messages and parents' young content producers and socializers is a mix, some of it "professional content" owned and controlled (somewhat) by the media companies but most of it owned and produced by its own consumers (even the professional content gets sliced, diced, mixed, and mashed up by the Web's young producers). And the experiment grows, as MySpace moves from being a social site and a record label to being an incubator for Web startups. For details, check out this latest snapshot of a very complex picture at the Times.

How Often Should I Water Aeonium Merlot?
How Often Should I Water Aeonium Merlot?
Aeonium Merlot needs a lot of water during the spring and summer seasons to flourish. At this time, you should water them regularly. In the wintertime, you will need to cut back on how often you water them due to lower temperatures. When watering your Aeonium Merlot, it is best to water from the base of the plant.
Do not water the leaves too much because this will cause them to become damaged and eventually kill them off. A good way to tell if your plant needs a lot of water is if your pot feels light or you notice that it is starting to lean over. This is a sign that you need to water your plant.
Too much water can also make your plant rot so it is best to do this judiciously. Aeonium Merlot is the type of plant that you should be looking at how much water is actually evaporating from its pot and not relying on the amount of water that the leaves look like it needs. This is because too much water can potentially damage your plant.
Aeonium Merlot can survive in a wide range of watering situations and temperatures, but like most plants, it likes to have some moisture in its soil environment.
How Do You Propagate Aeonium Merlot?
Aeonium Merlot can be propagated by leaf cutting, stem cutting, seed and offsets. Cutting a leaf off at the base is an easy way for you to propagate. Simply cut the leaf and place it in a pot of soil. After this, you can plant the new cutting into the same pot you cut it off from.
The roots will grow back out and you can then transplant this new sprout. If you prefer to propagate your Aeonium Merlot by stem cutting, simply prune the dead or dying stems from your plant and place them in a pot of soil. After this, plant them into another container with fresh soil. The following are steps to follow when propagating Aeonium Merlot:
Propagation by Stem cutting;
- Prune the stems of your plant. If a stem is dead or dying, you can simply leave it out.
- Remove any flowers or leaves from the plant, because Aeonium Merlot does not produce flowers or leaves at this time.
- Plant the stems in the soil in the container you want to use and water them thoroughly before planting them again in their new container.
- Prune off any leaves that may begin to grow on your stem cutting. Do this, so you can have the stem from your cutting to grow and look healthy. Leaving the leaves on will keep it from growing and producing any new growth for you.
- With time and proper care, you should have a new full plant of Aeonium Merlot to enjoy in no time.
Propagation by Leaf cutting;
- Dig up your Aeonium Merlot so you can harvest as many leaves as possible. Make sure that the soil is not too wet when you dig up your plant and do not dig further than one inch.
- Simply place all of the leaves in a pot of soil that has been wetted down with water and they will begin to grow again, just like they did when they were alive.
- Give your Aeonium Merlot lots of water and sunlight when you decide to plant it again so it will grow at a good pace.
- Placing your newly re-planted Aeonium Merlot in a sunny location will also help to make sure that it grows quickly.
- Over time, the roots will grow back out of the leaves and then you can easily transplant your new plant into the ground or into a planter.
Propagation by Seed;
- Fruit forms on the Aeonium Merlot plant when it is exposed to high temperatures and bright sunlight. This fruit is called a follicle, which is part of this plants natural reproduction process.
- To make sure that you get the most out of your Aeonium Merlot, you will want to collect your seeds from the follicles once they have developed and after they have dropped from the plant.
- To do this, gently break open a follicle with your fingernail or a sharp blade. Then you can break off all of the seed pods, which will have formed on them as well as any loose seeds inside of them.
- Store the seeds in a dry and airy area. They can be stored here until you are ready to plant them in the springtime.
- Plant them outdoors after your last freezing temperatures have passed or after they have sprouted leaves, at the beginning of springtime.
- Do not cover these seeds with soil until they have sprouted because they need light to grow and develop, just like other seeds do as well.
- After your seeds have sprouted and have leaves on them, you can plant them in the ground.
- Aeonium Merlot does not have a lot of problems with pests or diseases, but it is still important to use caution anyway. You should keep your seedlings from harm by using insecticide or fungicide during their first year after they are planted into the ground.
Propagation from Offset;
- When a new Aeonium Merlot is growing, it can always be separated from its parent plant. You can do this by cutting it off at the base of the plant and placing it as a cutting in a pot of soil.
- The roots that grow out of your cutting will also send roots down into the soil around it, just like they would naturally. After about two to four weeks, you will begin to see new roots growing out from these new cuttings. You can then separate these newly grown roots from one another so you can place them in their own pots.
- After you have these two new cuttings growing, you can then begin to simply pull them away from the original parent plant.
- Give your new plants lots of water and sunlight so they will grow at a good pace. Now that you have your new plant, you can just simply enjoy its beauty in your own home.
- These offsets are a good way for you to easily multiply Aeonium Merlot without having to do as much work and without waiting a long time either.
You can propagate new Aeonium Merlot from offsets every single year and you will always have more of your plants. You can use the offsets to replace any plants that are dying off or to give your original plants a rest and give them a break from growing. Even with all of these methods, you still have another way to have Aeonium Merlot in your home.
How Big Does Aeonium Merlot Get?
The Aeonium Merlot is a sturdy landscape plant that won’t break in the summer heat. 2-3′ broad by 1′ tall, freely branching- no woody stems. Hardy to upper 20’s, full sun coastal; half shade deserts.
Aeonium Merlot is one of the hardiest Aeonium Merlot, but with most Aeonium Merlot, it’s wise to protect from freezing temperatures.
Propagation is quite simple from cuttings, seeds or offsets. It can be used as a single specimen, in groups or in rock walls. It is good for containers and low ground coverage in the garden and it should be easy to find at local nurseries.
Aeonium Merlot is easy from seed to transplant, but most experts recommend starting from offsets instead. If you go with seeds, then be prepared to start indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date in your area.
Then move outside when necessary and watch for signs of spring growth (leaves appear) which will begin about two months after the date of transplanting. You will want to place your plant in a location where it has plenty of room so it can grow into this large size and spread out properly.
Aeonium Merlot is a beautiful flowering plant that you can keep indoors or you can also place them outdoors in a sunny area, where they will still grow very nicely for you as well.
Is Aeonium Merlot Winter Hardy?
Aeonium Merlot is winter hardy as long as you put it in a sunny area that has lots of indirect sunlight. Also, make sure that any areas surrounding the plant do get shaded at least part of the day to protect them from killing temperatures.
Aeonium Merlot is a type of succulent that means it can go through the seasons, so you can keep them in your home all year round if you wish to do so as well. During winter, make sure to water your plant, but not too much, as this will cause the plant to die back during the cold months of fall and winter.
Aeonium Merlot does have a somewhat brittle stem, so if you are looking for a fuller, tropical look for your home or garden space, then Aeonium Merlot is right up your alley. This type of plant looks great in containers or on low ground coverage in the garden and it can also be used as an unusual centerpiece piece.
The temperature that it can be exposed to will vary because of its natural insulation, so make sure to keep this plant in a sunny area that gets plenty of indirect sunlight. If you do decide that you want to place your plant in an area or room where it is subject to colder temperatures, then make sure to protect it from the cold.
This plant will begin growing as soon as you expose it to direct sunlight again and after about two months, new leaves and stems will begin to grow for you.

Find out how to best care for and treat your corns.
A corn is a thickened region of skin that occurs due to friction (e.g., when your foot continuously rubs against your shoe) and is created by the skin to protect that area from further irritation. A corn is found on the top of the foot or on the toe, while a callus is found at the bottom of the foot.
This condition is not contagious, however, you may experience some pain if the corn becomes too thick. This condition can be particularly serious for someone with diabetes or poor circulation, as it can lead to further complications.
What causes a corn?
Shoes that don’t fit properly cause friction and put pressure on your foot whenever you walk, which eventually leads to corns. High heels are usually the biggest cause of corns, which is why women are more likely than men to develop this foot condition. Also wearing sandals without socks can produce enough friction to create a corn.
What are the symptoms of a corn?
You may notice a thick rough patch of skin on your foot that may also be raised or hard. Corns can also be painful or tender to the touch. They are most often found in parts of the foot that take on the most weight.
How do you treat corns?
The best action you can take against your corn is to stop wearing shoes that don’t fit properly. In the meantime you’ll want to use a corn pad or other protective padding on your corn to protect it while you are walking. By following these simple steps you can help eliminate your corn.
When should I see my Tampa podiatrist about my corn?
However, there are some instances in which the corn doesn’t go away or the pain gets worse. If you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to be working then it’s time to see your Tampa podiatrist. We can remove some of the thickened skin to reduce your corn or we can opt for a medication that will help us file down the dead skin. We may also recommend orthotic inserts to prevent corns from returning.
If you are experiencing foot pain in Tampa due to a corn, call Advanced Foot and Ankle Specialists. If you also have diabetes or decreased circulation, it’s particularly important that you see your Tampa podiatrist for treatment.

Supervision Didier CHAUSSY, Professor, Grenoble INP-Pagora / LGP2 ♦♦ Davide BENEVENTI, CNRS Researcher, LGP2 Abstract The context of this project is the cellulosic material functionalization in the printed electronic domain. The first part of the thesis work highlighted the printability of aqueous dispersion of semiconducting photoluminescent polymer nanoparticles. The influence of the size and the composition of the particles on the emission colour was studied. Security paper is one of the main potential application of these particles. The second part dealed with the use of cellulose microfibrills and copper microparticles for the elaboration of conductive composite films. The films were self-supporting thanks to the high mechanical properties of the microfibrills. A study on the effect of calendaring pressure and temperature on electric conductivity was carried out, demonstrating that the composite film conductivity can be increased from the 10 S/m of the pristine film up to 70000 S/m.

An extensive characterization (morphology, viscosity, thermal stability and properties in nanocomposite) of 5 different SNCs shows, contrary to nanocrystalline cellulose, the limited influence of the botanic source. The analysis of the current preparation process led to three optimization strategies, and to the definition of a new generation of SNCs with smaller dimensions and more homogeneity. A new application of SNCs is presented (multilayer packaging); and showed that SNCs can effectively reduce water vapor permeability of some biopolymers coatings. The life cycle assessment (LCA) of SNCs in this application is also proposed. This study contributes greatly to the advancements of the field and offers perspectives for the industrialization of SNCs.

Firstly, an experimental work was carried-out at the macroscopic scale. This work led to the development of a lubricated compression rheometer and associated analysis methods to better characterize the rheology of SMC and BMC compounds, by accounting for the compressibility of compounds and the possible friction between the rheometer wall and the flowing composite. Numerical simulation was then achieved in order to simulate the forming of a BMC. For that purpose, the constitutive parameters of a simple tensorial rheological model were determined from experimental data obtained with the rheometer. Finally, an experimental work at the microscopic level allowed (i) the microstuctures of SMC models from X-ray microtomography micrographs and (ii) fibre pull-out experiment to be characterized, and the interaction mechanisms between the fiber bundles forming the fiber reinforcement of these materials to be modelled.

Supervision Naceur BELGACEM, Professor, Grenoble INP-Pagora / LGP2 ♦♦ Sami BOUFI, Professor, University of Sfax, Tunisia Abstract A stable aqueous nanocomposite dispersion containing cellulose whiskers and a polymer matrix was prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. We were able to prepare a stable dispersion with a 250 wt % solid content and a cellulose whiskers content ranging from 1 up to 5 wt % based on polymer content. Cellulose nanocrytals suspension was mixed with monomers phase in presence of anionic or cationic surfactant and a stabilizing additive acting as a hydrophobe. After sonication for a short time to obtain a stable emulsion of small droplet polymerisation reaction was trigged by the addition of the initiator. The nanocomposite dispersion was characterized using dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurement, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and FE-SEM. It was found that the particle size of the prepared suspensions is in the range of 90-600 nm, and the final nanocrystals composite is stable for months.Films obtained by casting followed by water evaporation and particle coalescence were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, and tensile testing. The nanocomposite maintained high transparency, and their storage elastic modulus increased tediously with the increasing nanowhiskers content.

June 23, 2011 - Fluid Mechanics, Energetics, Processes[Thesis online] Ph.D. title Experimental study and CFD simulation of the flow of model fluids and coating colours in a slide die curtain coater. Supervision Véronique MORIN, Research Director, & David GUERIN, Research Unit Manager, Centre Technique du Papier ♦♦ Martine RUEFF, Ingénieur de Recherche, Grenoble INP-Pagora / LGP2 Abstract Curtain coating is a contactless coating process which permits a contour coating of the paper and the key parameter of this process is a perfect stable curtain. This technology is expected to spread widely for graphic paper grades and boards in the next few years. Nevertheless, the observations sometimes show defects of regularity of coating which could be connected to instabilities of flow. In this work, we performed CFD simulations both for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids on the internal flow in a pilot curtain coater and on the flow down the inclined plane. The CFD study of the internal flow revealed the cause of vortex creation into the coater. To maintain vortex-free operation, the Reynolds number at the inlet must remain below a critical value whatever the fluid, which is equal to 20 with the studied geometry whatever the studied fluid. Moreover, a second cavity is useful since instabilities coming from the first cavity could be filtered for low shear-thinning fluids, which is the case of the WFC coating colours. These simulation results were validated thanks to flow visualization experiments with tracers and PIV using a transparent replica of the coater. Finally CFD simulations on the inclined plane were carried out and permitted to conclude that for the range of operating conditions used on the pilot curtain coater, some issues presented in literature should not exist industrially.

January 20, 2011 - Fluid Mechanics, Energetics, Processes Ph.D. title Understanding and modelling of the mechanisms of flotation applied to the de-inking of recovered papers. Supervision Patrice NORTIER, Professor, Grenoble INP-Pagora / LGP2 ♦♦ Davide BENEVENTI, CNRS Researcher, LGP2 Abstract Flotation is the main step of de-inking to remove the ink from the pulp. Whereas the target is toremove 2% of ink from the pulp, there is a loss of 20% of total matters (fibers, fillers and ashes). Theflotation process is the only process allowing to more or less selectively separate the particles frominks during recycling of recovered papers. This process is applied by all the European deinking millsand, although being recognized as being the most selective, it generates solid losses which remainstill too important (15 to 20% of losses) compared to the 2% of ink in weight applied to printed papers.Thus, the selectivity of flotation requires to be improved. Such improvement would at the same timeallow to increase the deinking process yield but also to reduce in parallel the volumes of sludgegenerated during de-inking and thus to simplify all the problems connected with the valorisation ofthese sludges. On the one hand, the objectives of this study are to improve fundamental knowledge ofthe phenomena occurring during flotation, in particular to obtain a better knowledge i) on mechanismsof transport of the various particles (ink, fibres and fines cellulose, mineral loads) during flotation in thepresence of various surface-active components from de-inking, ii) of the role of surface-activesubstances and their elimination during flotation. On the other hand, modelling of the mechanisms oftransport in the pulp and in the froth, taking into account mechanical parameters (air ratio, turbulence,design of the cells) and physico - chemical parameters has been highlighted to finally develop asimulation of the flotation process allowing to evaluate the incidence of the design of the cells,simulation which should then make it possible to improve the effectiveness of the existing cells.

Colorado's Rawah Wilderness area, run by the National Forest Service, offers visitors gorgeous mountain views and ample backcountry camping. Not on the park's list of benefits: decent phone service.
6 Destinations to Visit for a Real Digital Detox
Escape the sometimes all-consuming digital world by venturing to one of these 6 secluded spots around the world.
From intrusive email alerts to constant social media sharing, technology is an ever-present guest at our dinner tables, in our office meeting spaces, and on our morning commutes. It’s even snuck its way into experiences meant to be relaxing and revitalizing, like vacations. While electronic devices can certainly help ease some travel troubles, it can also be a relief to step away from your phone or computer.
Looking to cut your digital tethers on your next trip? Try one of these signal-free spots.
Rawah Wilderness, Medicine Bow Mountain Range, Colorado
Run by the USDA Forest Service, Colorado’s Rawah Wilderness rests within Roosevelt National Forest and covers around 78,000 acres of mountains, glacial lakes, and sprawling grasslands. Hiking amid all that natural wonder, you won’t miss your cell phone service. You’ll need to backcountry camp in this protected forest, so plan to bring everything you need—minus your tablet or computer—and discover the region by foot, since even bicycles are prohibited.
While there, be sure to follow the Forest Service’s guidelines to preserve this fragile landscape. The area’s peaks reach nearly 13,000 feet in elevation, but campfires are prohibited above 10,800 feet, since they consume the scarce vegetation. Campers also need to stay a quarter mile from Blue Lake and Hang Lake, where the Service is working to grow and maintain new grasslands.
Halawa Valley, Molokai, Hawaii
There are no direct flights from the U.S. mainland to this remote Hawaiian destination, so you’ll need to catch a flight through either Honolulu or Maui. This extra effort needed to reach Molokai is an indication of its technological remoteness, so plan to unplug while you’re there. Phone service on the island is spotty and almost non-existent at its edges.
Forget connecting with the rest of the world, and focus on connecting with the natural beauty and rich history of the island. Head to the northeast corner and hike through the Halawa Valley. The route will take you past hidden heiau, ancient sacred sites or places of worship, and will eventually lead you to Moa’ula Falls—a 250-foot cascade flanked by moss-covered rocks.
Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal
While it’s easy to use a cell phone in Nepal, a stay at the country’s Kopan Monastery won’t require an international SIM card. The focus at the Kathmandu community is on spirituality and living in the moment. Travelers can visit for the day, book a private stay, or sign up for a multi-day course on Buddhism.
Staying digitally connected is discouraged at the monastery. There’s an internet café on the premises that guests on private stays can use to email and make photocopies, but there is no wi-fi on the grounds. Staff also ask guests to leave their phones with reception when they arrive and not use personal electronics in public spaces. But there’s plenty to keep you occupied without technology. Take the time to join the monks' morning prayers, visit the nearby nunnery’s incense factory, or meditate in the gardens.
Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, Iceland
On the northwestern tip of Iceland, Hornstrandir Nature Reserve offers pristine natural landscapes to both daily visitors and backcountry hikers. It’s not easy to explore—you’ll have to arrive by ferry, and walking is your only transportation option once on land—but you’ll be rewarded with empty shorelines, lush valleys, and towering bluffs.
Since the region is so isolated, you won’t be able to find a phone signal or internet. No bother though, you’ll be too busy hiking the mossy hills and taking in gorgeous views of the Denmark Strait. Instead of checking your messages, look for the many species of birds living on the coastal cliffs and the protected Arctic foxes that roam the fields.
Kakadu National Park, Australia
This Australian national park, named a UNESCO-protected World Heritage site in 1981, is a natural and cultural wonder—home to ancient rock art, a breadth of ecosystems, and some of the best-preserved landscapes in the northern part of the country. Visitors looking for an authentic Australian experience can hike beneath crashing waterfalls, spot saltwater crocodiles, or take a cultural tour with a local Aboriginal guide.
- Nat Geo Expeditions
There’s little to no cell coverage in Kakadu National Park, so it’s easy to evade vacation-interrupting texts and calls. Though some of the region’s lodges offer wi-fi, you can avoid digital temptation by bringing a tent and sleeping in one of the many campgrounds, which are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
Leave your electronics at home and explore South America’s penguin-populated Falkland Islands. The archipelago sits around 400 miles east of the South American mainland and is home to over 200 bird species, hundreds of thousands of penguins, and a human population of just under 3,000. While locals manage to stay connected through technology, it’s unlikely you’ll have the same luck when visiting.
However, you’ll be so focused on the excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, you’ll forget you aren’t getting email alerts. From sea lions basking on the southeastern sandy beaches to colonies of black-browed albatrosses on the northwestern cliffs, the islands offer visitors a unique chance to experience its flora and fauna up close. And the only electronic device you’ll need is a camera.
If you take the trip with National Geographic, you’ll get the chance to see king penguins along the beaches of South Georgia Island on the same trip.

University "is exploring our options for the future of both buildings," spokesman says. Both are at West 5th and Peach.
A gas leak has closed a chapel and a larger adjacent building at Gannon University, which is "currently exploring our options for the future" of both structures, a spokesman said on Thursday.
"We are not sure how long this will take to resolve, but we are working toward resolving this as quickly as possible," the spokesman, Doug Oathout, also said in an email.
The buildings are the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel, in the 500 block of Peach Street, and the Student Services Building, which is connected to the chapel to the north.
The university recently closed both buildings after discovering "a small natural gas leak emanating from a capped well we did not know existed below the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel," said Oathout, Gannon's chief marketing and communications officer.
He said Gannon had the Erie Bureau of Fire and the state Department of Environmental Protection inspect the buildings.
"They have told us there is no danger to the general public," Oathout said. "However, as a health precaution, we have relocated our employees from the Student Services building and have discontinued use of the chapel. Both buildings are being vented as an even further precaution."
He said the employees in the university's finance department have been moved to Old Main, at Peach and West Sixth streets, or to the third floor of the Palumbo Academic Center, at West Eighth and Peach streets. Human resources employees have been moved to the second floor of Beyer Hall, at West Seventh and Peach streets.
"In addition, the Office of Mission and Ministry has been working with other campus partners to determine locations for Mass for holy days and in connection with specific events," Oathout said.
The chapel was built in 1950 as a Presbyterian church. Gannon bought the building in 1981 and in 1989 dedicated it as the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel.
Mass has been held at the chapel on Sundays at 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. during the academic year.
The site of the chapel has a long history, according to Gannon. The First Presbyterian church in Erie built the first church building on the site in 1860.
"At the time of its building, this church was considered the largest building in Erie County, and its spire was visible to people for miles around," according to Gannon's history. The university said a fire partially destroyed the building in the late 1800s, and a fire fully destroyed it in 1944, six years before the current building was erected.
Gannon said one part of the original complex remains: the Seldon Chapel annex, dedicated in 1892.

Marc Jacobs showed a cheering up collection for this fall 2009. The good mooded party dresses, over-the -top neon color monster shouldered coats and velvet bustier tops, paid a tribute to a long gone New York club scene. " Will all balck help the economy?" said Jacobs after the show, and we have to admit that, as Cindy Lauper's hyptonic voice sang in 1983, Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Moses’ encounter with God on the summit of Mount Sinai, as told in the biblical book of Exodus, contains a number of peculiarities and paradoxes. Early Christian mystics seized on these as clues to the spiritual understanding of Moses’ experiences, and as guides to the practice of contemplation. In this course we will examine five moments in Moses’ ascent of Mount Sinai: his entry into the darkness; the elders’ vision of the sapphire pavement; the pattern of the tabernacle revealed; God’s placing of Moses into the cleft of the rock; and Moses’ shining face. We will explore how these intriguing passages inspired four early Christian writers – Gregory of Nyssa, Evagrius of Pontus, Pseudo-Macarius and Dionysius the Areopagite – as they reflected on such topics as the unknowability of God and the state of a mind at prayer. In doing so, we will discover the influence of scripture on the development of the Christian mystical tradition.
Session 1: The Darkness of Unknowing (Exodus 20.18-21)
“[Moses] breaks free … away from what sees and is seen and he plunges into the truly mysterious darkness of unknowing. Here, renouncing all that the mind may conceive, wrapped entirely in the intangible and the invisible, he belongs completely to him who is beyond everything.” (Dionysius)
Session 2: Divine Blue (Exodus 24.9-11)
“When the mind has put off the old self and shall put on the one born of grace, then it will see its own state in the time of prayer resembling sapphire or the colour of heaven; this state scripture calls the place of God that was seen by the elders on Mount Sinai.” (Evagrius of Pontus)
Session 3: The Heavenly Tabernacle (Exodus 25 – 28)
“Moses was educated beforehand by a type in the mystery of the tabernacle which encloses everything. This would be Christ, ‘the power of God and the wisdom of God’, which in its own nature is not made by hands, yet allows itself to be physically fashioned when this tabernacle needs to be pitched among us, so that, in a certain way, the same is both unfashioned and fashioned: uncreated in pre-existence, but becoming created in accordance with this material composition.” (Gregory of Nyssa)
Session 4: The Cleft in the Rock (Exodus 33:11-23)
“This truly is the vision of God: never to be satisfied in the desire to see him. But one must always, by looking at what he can see, rekindle his desire to see more. Thus, no limit would interrupt growth in the ascent to God, since no limit to the Good can be found nor is the increasing of desire for the Good brought to an end because it is satisfied.” (Gregory of Nyssa)
Session 5: Transformation (Exodus 34:29-35)
“For blessed Moses provided us with a certain type through the glory of the Spirit which covered his countenance upon which no one could look with steadfast gaze. This type anticipates how in the resurrection of the just the bodies of the saints will be glorified with a glory which even now the souls of the saintly and faithful people are deemed worthy to possess within, in the indwelling of the inner person.” (Pseudo-Macarius)
Ann Conway-Jones’ research interest is early Jewish–Christian relations, focussing particularly on biblical exegesis and the origins of mysticism. Her PhD research, involving a range of Jewish and Christian mystical writings about the heavenly temple, has been published by OUP as Gregory of Nyssa’s Tabernacle Imagery in Its Jewish and Christian Contexts.
She teaches biblical studies, early Jewish–Christian relations, and the development of mystical theology for The Queen’s Foundation; Woodbrooke Quaker Studies Centre; Birmingham Church of England diocese; and Oxford University Department of Continuing Studies. For six years she taught biblical Hebrew in the Department of Theology and Religion.
She is actively involved in Jewish–Christian dialogue, and is the Chair of Birmingham Council of Christians and Jews.

Circle Urban Food’s Daily Bread Food Pantry operates under a new model of food service. Gone are the days of handing out pre-filled bags that may or may not contain what the client wants/needs.
The new Daily Bread Food Pantry has a built-in “empowerment” component that will require patrons to think about their individual nutritional needs and make choices to better address those needs through the selection of available food items. A list of food available is posted or given to clients, with any quantity restrictions based on food in stock or family size.
Clients choose the food from the list by marking on the menu or telling the pantry worker and pantry worker fills the bag and brings it to the client. A guide/security volunteer is available to interact with the patron and to answer questions.
This is empowerment at its best because the client takes responsibility for making decisions that will impact their own lives.
The goal is to raise $3,000, but Circle Urban Food Pantry hope to surpass that number with everyone’s help.
