Classifying with air classifier mills
Classifying is a processing application used when a tightly controlled particle size, distribution or top size is required or where there is a requirement to remove impurities from the raw material.
During the manufacturing process, classifying can be carried out as a separate operation, or it can be an integral part of the process by utilising an air classifier mill.
The air classifier mill process
An air classifier mill, also known as an air classifying mill, uses airflow to separate particles by size. The mill consists of a grinding chamber, a classifying wheel, and a fan.
The raw material to be ground is fed into the grinding chamber, which is impacted by a high-speed rotor fitted with hammers or pins. The size of the particles is then reduced by the hammers or pins, and the resulting powder is carried out of the chamber by the airflow generated by the fan.
The classifying wheel, located inside the grinding chamber, separates the particles by size. The wheel is typically made of a material such as ceramic or metal, and it is divided into several sections, each with a different size range.
As the powder exits the grinding chamber, it comes into contact with the classifying wheel. The fine particles pass through the smaller size ranges and are carried out of the mill by the airflow, while the larger particles cannot pass through and are collected in the larger size ranges.
Air classifier milling applications
Air classifier mills are used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, minerals, and food processing.
They are particularly useful for grinding heat-sensitive materials, as they do not generate heat during the grinding process. This is because the airflow cools the particles as they are ground, preventing them from getting too hot.
Additionally, they can produce a very narrow particle size distribution, making them ideal for applications that require a specific particle size.
The benefits of air classifying milling
There are several benefits to using an air classifier mill. One of the main advantages is that the mill can produce a very fine powder with particle sizes as small as 10 microns. This makes it ideal for applications that require a very fine powder, such as pigments, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Additionally, the mill can produce a very narrow particle size distribution, which is beneficial for applications that require a specific particle size.
Another benefit of the classification process is that it can handle a wide range of materials. Air classifier mills can grind materials that are very hard, such as minerals, and very soft materials, such as plastics. This makes it a versatile piece of equipment that can be used in various industries.
Air classifier mills are also easy to operate and maintain. The grinding chamber and classifying wheel can be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the mill is designed to be energy efficient, and it consumes less energy than other types of size reduction equipment.
All Atritor mills are air-swept, passing the material through the system in the air stream. We are experts in bespoke classifying processes that solve the challenges that often arise when processing materials.

Kebs bans skin lightening products from Kenyan market
The Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has banned 131 skin-lightening products from the Kenyan market said to be containing substances only used with a prescription.
The standards watchdog said some of the banned products include bleaching products which have been found to be containing substances that require a doctor’s prescription before use.
The products include bleaching creams, lotions, gels, and soaps which also contain hydroquinone, steroids and hormonal preparations which should be registered by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board for medical use.

“They should not be sold in the open market but only in registered pharmacies and chemists. The products listed above contain hydroquinone, steroids, mercury and hydrogen peroxide. They have not been registered with Pharmacy and Poisons Board as medicines. They should NOT be used,” added Njiraini.

Dylan’s Candy Bar
Which kid doesn’t like candy? Usually too much of a good thing is not good except for this place. It’s candy heaven for kids but they also bring adults back to their childhood with candies we used to eat as a kid.
Dave and Busters

The freedom of speech is 'talk over subject' today and its definition is modified constantly. It is tempting to look upon hot headed Muslim protesters in faraway lands as the ones who force us to modify 'the freedom of speech', however Western Liberals have the same profound belief that 'to be offended is the worst thing and however dares to cause offence must be made to pay'. There is no difference between radical Islamic offence taking and Westen liberal offence taking,
except that the first ones may prefer to get together as a mob to track down the causers of offence whereas we prefer to create a Twittermob from the comfort of our bedrooms and make an expression of rage against anyone who offends women, gays, ethnic minorities, environmentalists etc.
Is it possible to speak your mind, to introduce needs, interests and ideas without any hint of doubt that it may offence someone's intensely personal feelings?
There are many people around the world who are not free to speak their mind, but many of us, who have that freedom are voluntarily giving it up in our present world where we are ruled not by a reason but moral sentiment.

Fera is the UK National Reference Laboratory for Mycotoxins and Plant Toxins in Food and Feed. Fera has extensive knowledge in the analysis of mycotoxins in food, feed and food crops.
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by some moulds. They can occur in a wide range of foods, often with no visible signs of mould spoilage to the food. They have a wide range of chemical properties and toxicities to humans and food-producing animals. Exposure to some mycotoxins is controlled through European and National Legislation.
The toxins studied include trichothecenes, ochratoxin, aflatoxins and ergot alkaloids. Fera has carried out many research projects and surveillance exercises for the UK Food Standards Agency, The EU and commercial customers. Training courses in mycotoxin analysis are regularly organised and run.
The EU-RL for Mycotoxins and Plant Toxins aims to facilitate the implementation of European legislation related to monitoring of mycotoxins and plant toxins in food of plant origin and animal feed. RIKILT Wageningen University & Research is the EURL for mycotoxins & plant toxins in food and feed, effective from March 1, 2018.
The Contaminants in Food (England) Regulations 2013 make enforcement measures provision for European Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs and Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 prescribes the methods to be used for sampling and analysis for enforcement purposes. There are similar Regulations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Copies of the EU Regulations, and those of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are available from the Food Standards Agency.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (as amended) stipulates maximum levels of certain mycotoxins in foodstuffs. Mycotoxins specifically covered are: aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2, and M1), ochratoxin A, patulin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisins B1 and B2 and citrinin. In addition, maximum levels are set for ergot sclerotia.
Regulation (EU) No 165/2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs as regards aflatoxins.
Regulation (EU) No 178/2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 as regards groundnuts (peanuts), other oilseeds, tree nuts, apricot kernels, liquorice and vegetable oil.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 884/2014 provides the overarching legislation which allows the introduction of emergency measures for import conditions for certain consignments (including for use as feed) from some third countries due to aflatoxin contamination issues. These Regulations are amended as required to add new products or remove products as situations change.
Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (and amendments) sets out requirements for increased official controls. Annex I gives the list of products, country of origin; hazards; and frequency of checks to be carried out. Annex I is reviewed at least every six months.
Guidance document for competent authorities for the control of compliance with EU Regulations on aflatoxins is available here:
Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (and its amendments) set maximum limits for ochratoxin A in certain foods, including cereals, dried fruit, some spices, liquorice, wine, grape juice, coffee and infant foods. Methods for sampling and analysis for ochratoxin A are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 (and its amendment Commission Regulation (EU) No 178/2010).
The UK Food Standards Agency has published a Code of Practice on Good Storage to reduce Ochratoxin A in cereals here.
Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (and its amendments) set maximum limits for patulin in fruit juices, spirit drinks and cider, apple products (juice, puree, compote), and baby foods and apple juice and apple products sold for infants and young children.
Methods for sampling and analysis for patulin are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 401/2006.
Commission Recommendation (2003/598/EC) on the prevention and reduction of patulin contamination in apple juice and apple juice ingredients in other beverages. Information can be found here that gives you details on the prevention and reduction of patulin contamination in apple juice and apple juice ingredients in other beverages.
Maximum limits for some Fusarium toxins (deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisins B1 & B2) are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006. Limits for T2 & HT2 toxin are not set, but are currently under discussion. Sampling and methods of analysis are laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 178/2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 401/2006.
Commission Recommendation 2006/583/EC of 17 August 2006 provides advice and recommendations on the prevention and reduction of Fusarium toxins in cereals and cereal products.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated several of the main Fusarium toxins, including deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and T-2 and HT-2 toxins. More detailed information can be found here.
Information on Mycotoxins for industry and enforcement bodies including sampling advice, special import conditions and Codes of Practice to prevent mycotoxins can be found here.
Information about legislation for plant toxins and guidance on cyanide in apricot kernels and opium alkaloids in poppy seeds can be found here.

It's thought that the 19-year-old is having a tough time with her Lyme Disease
Bella Hadid has shocked fans by posting an image of herself hooked up to an IV drip on Snapchat.
The photo shows the 19-year-old in bed, with the drip in her arm, decorated with a thermometer and sleeping person emoji.
Although the context behind the photograph has not been confirmed, it is thought that it is in connection with Bella’s Lyme Disease, which she was diagnosed with back in 2012.
Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection that is spread to humans by infected ticks. If left untreated, the later symptoms of the illness include pain and swelling in the joints, problems affecting the nervous system, heart problems and inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
The model has previously shared her experiences living with the illness, positing similar IV shots in the past.
In an interview with ES magazine, Bella spoke candidly about the impact of her disease, revealing: ‘I used to be the last to go home at a party, now I’m the first…’
Talking of Fashion Week, she said: ‘I was so exhausted… I only did 13 shows. Just request casting. The show girls do, like, 12 shows a day. I only did one or two shows a day and I was like: “I need to go to sleep.” I thought: “OK, maybe I’m just a p***y.”‘
She continued: ‘It affected my memory so I suddenly wouldn’t remember how to drive to Santa Monica from Malibu where I lived.
‘I couldn’t ride. I was just too sick. And I had to sell my horse because I couldn’t take care of it.’
Bella’s mother Yolanda also suffers from the disease, and has written about how it has impacted Bella in her column for Bravo.
She wrote: ‘Bella had to give up her lifelong dream of having a professional riding career and a shot at the Olympics due to her severe symptoms and inability to ride. This was the biggest heartbreak of her life and an extremely sensitive subject for her.’
It’s heartbreaking to hear how the disease has affected Bella and we’re glad that she has found success in modelling, despite her illness.
We wish her well.

Latest data from, energy efficiency platform, Snugg has found that many people feel they are wasting money on energy bills because of their home’s poor energy efficiency. And while most would like to make their home more efficient, there is mass confusion over how and what help is available.
The research found that 32% feel that they’re wasting money on energy bills because of their home’s poor energy efficiency
A further 29% are worried they won’t be able to afford to pay their energy bills this winter because of their home’s poor energy efficiency and 26% are struggling to pay their energy bills right now.
Whilsy 48% switched off their heating for extended periods of time last winter, to save money, despite feeling cold.
Robin Peters, CEO, Snugg, said “Sellers’ lack of access to available information on home energy efficiency changes risks slowing an already spluttering property market – with home energy efficiency improvements known to increase value by up to £15,000. At the same time, homes in the UK rank amongst the worst in Europe for energy efficiency – responsible for more than a fifth of the UK’s CO2 emissions.”
“It’s little wonder people are confused when current grant schemes are uncoordinated and the government’s ever-shifting position on net zero provides little certainty or clarity to homeowners. It’s vital that we ensure everyone has access to the knowledge needed for simple and affordable home changes that can both help boost the property market and accelerate our transition to net zero.”
“The lack of knowledge around home energy efficiency changes was even more prevalent across Brits more widely. The research found that only a third (35%) of Brits understand how energy efficient heat pumps work, compared to 70% of people who understand a gas boiler. The same knowledge gap was seen amongst likely sellers, but with a smaller discrepancy (78%) knew how a gas boiler worked vs 60% who understood heat pumps.”
“More than two-fifths (42%) of respondents don’t know what their home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is, and almost a fifth (16%) had never heard of one before taking the survey. Only a fifth of Brits (21%) know how much they could receive in grants for home heating, with lack of awareness about what is available highest in the North East of England (81%) followed by East of England (75%).”

7 Reasons Why Beam Blades are Better
Selecting windshield wiper blades is one of the most important, but overlooked, decisions drivers make about their vehicles. How do yours measure up? Here’s why beam wiper blades are the best option.
TRADITIONAL BLADES VS. BEAM BLADES
Windshields are never perfectly flat. In fact, most modern windshields are becoming more and more curved to prevent wind drag and increase aerodynamics. Just by looking at the image above, you can see how traditional blades do not naturally conform to the windshield. You also can see the many open gaps and exposed parts the traditional wiper has that the far superior beam blade does not. Traditional wiper blades were generally the standard for cars manufactured prior to 2000. Beam blades have been placed on about 68% of cars manufactured since 2000. But it goes far beyond that.
DOES THE TYPE OF BLADE REALLY MATTER?
Many drivers realize that their windshield wipers need replacing either during a torrential downpour or when a mechanic cocks an eyebrow and recommends a change. While we may not think about it regularly: windshield wipers are vital to the safety of you, your passengers, and your vehicle. In fact, wiper blades are the number two safety feature on a vehicle, right behind the breaks! We believe the type of blade does matter. You should always be proactive when it comes to the safety of the ones your love. Beam blades are built to not only perform better in rainy conditions but snowy conditions as well. Understanding the differences between traditional and beam wiper blades can help you make the best decision for your car and as you’ll see: beam wiper blades’ benefits outweigh the traditional model in every possible way.
7 REASONS TO CHOOSE BEAM WIPER BLADES:
1. Beam blades have fewer moving parts than traditional blades, meaning fewer chances for wear, breakage, and replacement due to damage.
2. Ever notice that spot that just won’t clear when you’re driving? You probably have traditional blades, which have limited contact or pressure points with the windshield. Beam blades have interminable pressure points, creating a much tighter connection between blade and windshield, no matter the shape of the windshield.
3. Beam blades are aerodynamic so even in high winds they resist being lifted away from the windshield.
4. Beam blades are one piece with no exposed parts cutting down the risk of clogs.
5. Beam blades are smaller and lighter, thus out of sight and less exposed to chances for damage. This is also a great aesthetic point.
6. Beam blades are crafted to fit modern, highly curved windshields. Traditional blades do not hug curved windshields as well, leaving gaps in coverage.
7. Beam blades are more durable than traditional blades requiring virtually no need to replace due to damage or defect.
WHY DO PEOPLE STILL USE TRADITIONAL BLADES?
Traditional blades have been around since windshield wipers first appeared on cars in the early 20th century. Often overlooked, and mostly misunderstood, consumers usually go for the cheaper traditional variety. Beam wiper blades do cost slightly more, but the benefits far outweigh the cost. Understanding the differences shows that there are certain items worth paying a little extra for – especially for something essential to vehicle safety. In the long run, the better quality and design of beam blades will save consumers money.

Major telecoms in Africa jointly with health ministries, and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) have launched a continental public health mobile platform that will provide advice, especially on the Covid-19 pandemic.
The initiative dubbed Africa Communications Information Platform (ACIP) is based on a partnership between ECA, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), telcos and ministries of health, finance, economy, planning. Other stakeholders include the African Union, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation.
The ACIP is an information and communication tool between citizens and governments designed to gather user-generated data and statistics to provide national and regional Covid-19 task forces with health and economic insights that will enable authorities to analyse pandemic-related problems and respond appropriately.
The first phase of ACIP began on June 23 and will cover mobile users across 23 countries, representing about 80 per cent of Africa's total mobile subscribers. At least 36 African member states are part of the initiative. MTN is ECA’s technical partner in this initiative that will also include Orange, Airtel, Vodafone, Vodacom, Safaricom, Ethio Telecom, and telco regulators.
CEO of MTN, Robert Shuter, said the operators would waive the charges for texts. He said the uniqueness of the ACIP initiative got MTN and its “competitors to agree that this was an area for collaboration and co-operation.”
The ACIP will enable users to access locally relevant health advisories and medical advice including a symptom checker. It will employ text and voice-operated menus. It is also the first time that a mobile USSD platform has been interactively paired with big data Artificial Intelligence to yield insights which neither could achieve alone.
On the broadband side, the platform uses public data from digital channels, including online and social media. By using mobile narrowband and broadband, the platform can reach 3G/smartphone users and mobile subscribers with 2G handsets.
Using anonymous user inputs, including survey responses, ACIP will build data dashboards and actionable insights for national and regional level policy makers. These may include identification of emerging virus hotspots and shifts in public sentiment through survey data and social listening.
International Telecommunication Union Secretary-General, Houlin Zhao, called on African regulators and ICT ministers to “back the platform.” He said artificial intelligence and big data are at the heart of the ACIP and that the support of telecommunication regulators from each country is “absolutely necessary.”
Each African country will maintain full ownership and access to its national data on the platform, while ECA will use aggregated data to facilitate regional or continental level analysis and insights into best practices.
The ACIP will allow policymakers to share insights and harness data to inform decision making at a regional and national level for the ultimate benefit of local populations. If and when the data shows emerging virus hotspots, the platform will help authorities direct medical resources to the affected areas and alert local residents.
Under phase two, to be launched in a few months, the service will broaden to include economic and humanitarian-focused communication, according to ECA. National authorities will be able to conduct community level messaging for social welfare such as facilitating cash distribution (including e-payments), send targeted information on local food distribution or clean water provision among other information. The launch of ACIP just a week after the AU launched the Africa Medical Supplies Platform to enable all African governments to access critical supplies.

DFS Pace of Play for Week 1 (Fantasy Football)
Pace of play gives the prospective DFS player an opportunity to consider not just Vegas totals but how the game will be played out in a given week. Game flow is a tricky rabbit hole to jump down when you consider the endless scenarios that can play out in a game. Stacking up-tempo offenses who can keep the ball moving is crucial to gaining an edge in DFS. For every 5 seconds difference in terms of per play, a team runs 15 more plays per game. In DFS world, that’s a massive considering volume is king. In 2019, on average, teams ran a play 0.8 seconds per play slower in positive game scripts than they did in neutral game script.
Each week I’ll highlight five statistics that will affect matchups this week, five games worth stacking, and five dart throws for tournaments.
Make sure to check out the DFS Podcast where Betz and I breakdown the main slate and highlight some of our favorite plays of the week.
Five Stats to Know
1. Arizona was a fickle team in 2020. They had the largest discrepancy between game scripts that were neutral and positive. When they were leading (which wasn’t much), they averaged almost four seconds per play slower. You could see that when they had success in the second half on the back of Kenyan Drake. The Cardinals played the 49ers much closer last year than people realize losing by three points in Week 9 and ten points in Week 11. Although this game has a 47-point total, San Francisco was notoriously slow last year ranking dead last in seconds per play when trailing. They seem bent on running the ball and controlling the clock with their elite defense that allowed 191 passing yards per game, best in the NFL. At 47.5, if Arizona somehow jumps out to a lead, this game could hit the under.

A recent post at Bright Bottom gave me the idea for a series of corner time excerpts. I hope you enjoy.
As a writer, corner time is wonderful. While it slows down the action of the story, it allows for anticipation, and sometimes, a revelation, by the soon to be spanked heroine of the story.
All of these excerpts come from my collection of short stories, The Long Arm of the Law. This one is from Dinner at the Club.
At a stoplight, Peter turned to his wife and kissed her soundly. When he finished, he said to her, "I am certainly enjoying the ride home, but you should know that no matter how much fun this is, you are still getting a spanking when we get home, and don't pretend that you don't know why."
Parker returned to her side of the car, replaced her seatbelt, and pondered her fate for the remainder of the trip home.
They pulled into the garage and Peter shut off the engine and turned to his wife, "I'm going to take the babysitter home and when I get back, I expect to find you waiting for me upstairs."
Parker knew what he meant by "waiting for me upstairs," and her already fluttering stomach started doing somersaults. She went into the house and checked on Mac, age two, before heading to the master bedroom suite.
Her steps were slow as she walked down the long carpeted hallway. Parker's stomach had calmed a bit, but her mind was racing. Maybe I shouldn't have spilled wine on Janine, she said to herself. But, it felt so good to get back at her for all her snide comments.
Parker knew that it woulnd't take Peter long to drop the babysitter off and return home, so she moved quickly around the bedroom. She tossed the red dress into the hamper for the dry cleaners and changed into what she referred to as her naughty girl uniform. It consisted of a large green Wilkins College football jersey with the number twenty on the back and pair of sensible cotton panties. Parker had acquired the jersey by stealing it from Peter's roommate's dresser when they were in college. The night that Peter discovered her thievery was also the first night that he had spanked her. Since then she'd tried---really hard---to be a good girl, but sometimes it was just too difficult.
Parker heard the garage door open and knew that she only had a couple minutes before Peter entered the room. She scurried over to the corner, lowered her cotton panties to her knees, and stood staring at the wall.
She had only been standing there for a few moments when Peter entered the room. Parker knew better than to turn around. She heard him go into his dressing area and remove his clothes, and then she heard the shower running. How much longer is he going to drag this out? Parker wondered to herself. Peter knew that, for Parker, the waiting was often as painful as the punishment itself.
Finally Parker heard Peter turn off the shower. Her feet wiggled in nervous anticipation, and her hands were clenched at her sides. The butterflies had returned to her stomach and were dive bombing her insides. Parker focused on her breathing and tried to calm herself.
Stay tuned. More corner time excerpts coming this weekend.

It was a Sunday morning in the dead of winter, and Hamburg was covered in fresh, powdery snow. I was a little apathetic when I first looked out the window, as I am famously not very fond of snow (or winter) in general. While drinking my morning cup of coffee I remembered the time I went shooting at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Ukraine on Christmas Eve; conditions that day were terrible because it was very clear and sunny, and it was impossible to get good pictures (with my camera, at least) as the snow reflected the light of the sun. Now though, the ground was covered in snow and the sky was covered in clouds, so I figured I could try my hand again at photographing a cemetery in the snow. I finished my coffee, grabbed my camera, and headed out the door. My destination was the Ohlsdorf Cemetery here in Hamburg.
Established in 1887, the Ohlsdorf Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in the world—it is, in fact, the biggest rural necropolis worldwide. The cemetery has an area of 391 hectares, and is the final resting place of an estimated 1.5 million people. There are 12 chapels, and many different sections. Because of the sheer size of it, I figured I would limit my visit to the sections that interest me most—that is, the military burial grounds.
The cemetery was almost empty that day. I allowed myself all the time I needed to walk to the military cemeteries and take pictures along the way. The Ohlsdorf Cemetery is majestic in terms of size and aesthetics. There were memorials and small, unassuming graves tucked away behind bushes, but all the tombstones were in perfect conditions as the cemetery is very well-tended as opposed to others I have visited, such as for example the Olsany Cemetery in Prague.
“We all volunteered and we wrote down our names, and we added two years to our ages
Eager for life and ahead of the game, ready for history’s pages”
Motörhead – 1916
The first military cemetery I got to was dedicated to soldiers who fell in World War One. Military burial grounds are known here as Ehrenfriedhöfe (Honour Cemeteries). The World War One Ehrenfriedhof is vast and contains the graves of 3400 German soldiers. The gravestones are small, and bear the name of the person buried underneath as well as his rank. Most of the soldiers buried here died either in hospitals or years later from the wounds sustained in combat. Right next to the German section is a smaller plot with the graves of 230 Russians, 6 Serbs, 6 Poles, 2 Romanians, and 1 Frenchman. A statue of a lone soldier in full uniform stands silent guard next to the gravestones of his fallen comrades.
I also encountered a small memorial for a field doctor who died in 1918 in “Michalowchisna, Russia.” The spelling and transliteration are wrong but the place is most likely Mikhajlovshchina (Михайловщина) in today’s Belarus’.
It started to snow again just as I started making my way to the World War Two cemetery, which is connected to that of the Great War. The World War Two Ehrenfriedhof is a bit more modest and looks similar to other German cemeteries from the same conflict, as the graves here are also marked by stones laying flat bearing nothing but dates and names. As in other World War Two cemeteries, the area is lined with standing stone crosses set in groups of three.
Up the road is the cemetery of Soviet prisoners-of-war. The burials here are also marked by flat stones. Due to the brutal treatment of Soviet prisoners-of-war at the hands of the Germans in World War Two, many of the men buried here were never identified. I saw a lot of very impressive gravestones at the Ohlsdorf Cemetery, but the one that had the biggest impact on me was here: a simple flat stone simply reading “Unbekannt” (Unknown) accompanied by the incomplete date of June 1944. The inscription on the grave was vanishing as a result of time and exposure. I stopped and I thought about the soldier buried there; nobody knows his name, his story, or even the exact date when he died. He was somebody’s son, maybe husband or father, and friend, and none of the people who loved him know where he is or what happened with him. This unknown soldier rests together with 383 of his comrades in this patch of land far away from home, and it made me sad to think of such an end.
The last military plot I visited is called “Hamburg Cemetery,” and is the final resting place for soldiers of the Commonwealth from both World Wars. There are also a number of Polish soldiers buried here, and maybe at least an American, as someone left a Star Spangled Banner next to a tombstone. The plots are separated, and I only managed to visit one of them. All in all, Hamburg Cemetery is the final resting place of 676 soldiers who served in World War One, and 1889 soldiers who took part in World War Two and the subsequent occupation of Germany. The Hamburg Cemetery in Ohlsdorf is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
“And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind? In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined
And though you died back in 1916 To that loyal heart you’re forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame”
Eric Bogle – No Man’s Land
Before leaving the Ohlsdorf Cemetery I visited the memorial to the victims of Operation Gomorrah. This memorial is dedicated to the victims of the largest aerial bombardment campaign of the time, which targeted Hamburg in the summer of 1943.
Operation Gomorrah was the name given to the Allied bombardment of Hamburg. By 1943, the aerial campaigns on both sides had increased in intensity and became more indiscriminate. The British had long since had their eye on Hamburg; the port city was both Germany’s second-largest metropolis and also key to the war effort—particularly in terms of naval warfare.
On the night of July 24 to July 25, air raid sirens started howling in Hamburg, and from then until August 3, roughly 2,800 British and American bombers dropped an estimated payload of close to 9,000 tons (!) of explosive and incendiary bombs on Hamburg. The bombardment was not limited to industrial facilities but largely targeted areas populated by civilians. In the wake of the bombing and the ensuing firestorm, an estimate 35,000 people had been killed; scores were left injured and/or homeless.
The memorial for the victims of Operation Gomorrah is a chamber made of stone. I peeked through the steel door to see the statue of Charon crossing the Styx river. In Greek mythology, Charon is boatman in charge of carrying the souls of the deceased to “the Other Side.” On his boat, he carries men, women, and children, which sternly stare back at the visitor to remind them of the horrors of indiscriminate aerial bombardment. The names of the neighborhoods hit by the bombs are carved into large wooden beams placed along two large avenues next to the memorial, which are lined with crosses bearing the names of some of the victims.
At that point it started to rain. I packed my camera, and walked to the bus stop to start the way back home. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit the Memorial to the Victims of National Socialism, the Dutch and Polish Military Cemeteries, or the Memorial for the Resistance Fighters. I will return as soon as the cherry trees start blossoming; it would be nice to see the Ohlsdorf Cemetery surrounded by new life.

Before the internet, filling in a tax return was a riot of fun compared with the browbeating effort of finding the right match between a car and caravan.
But now, dozens of websites can do that job in a trice. You enter the details of your car and the websites list the caravans that it would be capable of towing. Or you enter the name of your caravan and up pops a selection of the cars that would be right for that model.
When, therefore, I had the offer of a family-size Hymer 485 Sporting caravan for a holiday in Central Europe, I tapped its name into these matchmaker sites and they all agreed that the Volvo XC90 would be “perfect” to tow it.
Volvo has announced some changes to the XC90 and, not having driven one since it was introduced nearly 10 years ago, I was eager to try it again.
So it was that I embarked in a new XC90 that took me from Scotland, where I live, on a 2,300-mile round trip across Holland, Germany and the Czech Republic, then home to Britain. In both directions, I nestled gratefully and comfortably in the billowy bosom of DFDS Seaways across the North Sea. I picked up and returned the caravan to Hymer’s factory in Bad Waldsee, but my family took the easy approach and flew both ways.
The twin purposes of this trip were to visit distant Czech members of my family and to introduce our two young daughters to Germany, in the fond hope that they will eventually come to understand that country’s history, grasp its importance and speak its language.
To that high-minded end, we spent time in the ancient university town of Freiburg and in Munich, which may be the most civilised city in Europe. To leaven the dry dust of Dad’s lecture tour, we also took the children to Europa-Park (Germany’s biggest theme park) and for a short stay at the new Legoland, near Günzburg.
A good car and caravan were perfect for this roundabout trek. Hymer caravans are among the more expensive, but a minimalist and resolutely functional approach to interior design makes them look and feel more like an Ikea home than a show house on a Wimpey estate, which is the invariable approach of British caravan makers.
No chintzy curtains or moquette upholstery here, although the eyeball-searing white of the 485’s exterior proved, yet again, that my campaign to see caravans painted in more earth-loving colours has so far succeeded by zero per cent.
Volvo’s XC90 remains a heroic warhorse. Along with Toyota’s Land Cruiser, it is the big, luxury 4x4 for customers who don’t fancy themselves as the Duke of Edinburgh and don’t fancy paying a duke’s ransom for a Range Rover. The £44,500-plus price of the D5 SE Lux version I borrowed might be tens of thousands less than an equivalent Range Rover or Discovery.
Long in the tooth now – with an entirely new model expected soon – the XC90 recently got a cosmetic makeover to gussy-up its frumpy body. Body-coloured bumpers, LED daytime-running lights, metallic mouldings for the wing mirrors, dabs of faux metal around the cabin and white lighting for the instrument display are all standard tools in designers’ boxes when they are tasked with wringing a few more sales out of a model that is coming to the end of the line.
That turbocharged, all-aluminium, five-cylinder diesel engine of Volvo’s deserves to continue for many more years though. While dragging the Hymer around Europe, it was averaging more than 20mpg. When that burden had been cast off, it was often propelling the XC90 at a relaxing 120mph or more on unrestricted stretches of Germany’s autobahns.
Nobody who valued the stability of their stomach would want to throw this big lump of a 4x4 into a corner, but for covering 300 miles in a single morning, few cars are better.

Tartar build-up on your teeth is not only an aesthetic problem, it can also lead to the development of cavities and it is considered the primary factor in gum disease. As tartar bonds strongly to enamel, it can be only removed by a dental professional. Having your teeth cleaned professionally at most every 6 months plays an essential role in the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay.
1 appointment, 30-60 mins
We provide an indispensable deep cleaning treatment that your teeth need to remain healthy and fight off infections. Realistically your oral care at home is not enough, and you should have hygiene sessions every six months, to ensure that the roots of your teeth and gums are clean to the extent possible! If this is not done often, dental hygiene is classified as low.
A dental cleaning—usually performed by a dental hygienist-- is a very effective procedure for the removal of tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine brushing. Because it is essential to remove the tartar below the gum-line as well as above it, getting your teeth professionally cleaned by a dental hygienist at least twice a year is a must.
Teeth cleaning with special dental tools removes harmful plaque, calculus (hardened plaque), and bacteria that otherwise can’t be removed at home by simply brushing or flossing- regardless of how vigorously you brush or floss. Professional teeth cleaning will include tooth scaling and root planing and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated and can prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Even the most rigorous and careful at-home oral hygiene routine will leave the mouth with some trace amounts of bacteria because not all parts of the mouth are accessible when cleaning your own teeth. In a way even if you floss and use mouthwash, there is still the tooth roots and the areas beneath the gum line that accumulate bacteria and can be the cause of tooth decay, periodontitis also known as gum disease and countless other dental problems as well.
Every half a year or so, professional dental cleaning is needed as a preventative measure and an oral health booster. The best you can do is to see a dental hygienist near you to get proper advice on maintaining a good oral health!
A professional hygiene treatment or deep cleaning entails the hygienist cleaning out the food detritus and plaque or hardened tartar from the tooth surfaces and tooth gaps. It also entails root planing and a scaling, which means the dentist will remove all of the accumulated gunk from the gum line as well, and will also prevent the formation of cavities by spotting them early and removing the cavity agents. This session can also be tied in with an oral cancer screening and a consultation session, in case the patient needs any further dental treatments.
A dental cleaning can be thought of as an investment for our patients and as such, it is one that will save you a ton of money in the future. Oral hygiene sessions are classified into three categories, each with a set price.
Depending on which category your oral hygiene stands at, the work needed and how much chair time is needed will be different. Our dental hygienist highly recommends a consistent twice a year hygiene appointment to prevent expensive and potential painful dental treatments which may be needed in the future.
The shortest hygiene session is around 20 minutes, while the longest lasts about one hour, but is reserved for only the most extreme cases, and these sessions can last shorter the more frequently you get them. As a true time saver, we recommend getting the treatment every half year check-up which is a necessary part of your oral health and is highly recommended.
Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping one's oral cavity clean and free of disease and other problems (e.g. bad breath) by regular brushing of the teeth (dental hygiene) and adopting good hygiene habits. It is important that oral hygiene be carried out on a regular basis to enable prevention of dental disease and bad breath. The most common types of dental disease are tooth decay (cavities, dental caries) and gum diseases, including gingivitis, and periodontitis.
Cleaning your teeth will not only prevent the obvious dental problems from occurring but will also provide cosmetic benefits while helping to prevent other physical ailments down the road. Let’s look at a few things that teeth cleaning in London does:
For most patients, teeth cleaning is simple and painless. Knowing exactly what is going on during the process can help ease your stress and allow you to better enjoy the minty-fresh results.
Most teeth cleanings are performed by a dental hygienist. Before the actual cleaning process begins, they start with a physical exam of your entire mouth. The dental hygienist uses a small mirror to check around your teeth and gums for any signs of gingivitis (inflamed gums) or other potential concerns. If they detect major problems, the dental hygienist might call the dentist to make sure it’s fine to proceed.
With the small mirror to guide them, the dental hygienist uses a scaler to get rid of plaque and tartar around your gum line, as well as in between your teeth. You’ll hear scraping, but this is normal. The more tartar there is in your mouth, the more time they’ll need to scrape a particular spot.
Brushing and flossing stop plaque from building up and hardening into tartar. Once you have tartar, you can only have it removed at your dentist’s office. So if this is your least favourite part of the teeth cleaning process, the lesson is to brush and floss more often.
After your teeth are completely tartar-free, the hygienist brushes them with a high-powered electric brush which makes a grinding noise. While it sounds scary, it’s a great way to get a deep clean and remove any tartar left behind from the scaler. Professional cleanings use toothpaste that smells and tastes like regular toothpaste, though you can often choose between flavors. However, it has a gritty consistency that gently scrubs your teeth. If done by a professional, this polishing of the teeth is deemed safe to do twice a year. But don’t be as harsh with your teeth at home, because you’ll wear down the enamel.
Whether you floss regularly at home or not, nothing beats an expert flossing session. Your dental hygienist can get deep between your teeth and locate any potential trouble spots where you might bleed at the gums. This might seem pointless if you floss at home, but having a professional floss your teeth also removes any leftover plaque or toothpaste from earlier in the cleaning process.
The last step of the cleaning process is a fluoride treatment. This treatment is used as a protectant for your teeth to help fight against cavities for several months. Your dental hygienist may ask you what flavour you like best. They’ll then place the foamy gel (or sometimes a sticky paste) into a mouthpiece that fits over your teeth. It’s usually left on your teeth for one minute. Besides the foamy gel, fluoride varnish is also painted onto the teeth with a small brush. Fluoride varnish will harden when in contact with saliva, so you can eat and drink immediately after.
A dental cleaning can be thought of as an investment, and as such, it is one that will save you a ton of money in the future. Oral hygiene sessions are classified into three categories, each with a set price, the lowest being only 47 pounds. Which category you are in depends on how much work is needed to clean your teeth, and how much chair time is needed to complete the task.
Some patients think that by not having their teeth cleaned they are saving money. Just the opposite is true. You will avoid more costly future procedures later by having dental cleanings regularly. We at Forest & Ray know differently. That is why we encourage you to come in at least twice a year to maintain good oral health and that beautiful smile. Contact us for a cleaning today!
This unique teeth whitening session has the advantage of being the most gentle method of teeth whitening but is also highly effective at removing stains and plaque from the tooth surfaces.
The Airflow device uses a high powered stream of sodium bicarbonate, water and air to remove stains from the affected teeth. The effect is similar to a scale and polish session, where the polishing makes the teeth surface really smooth.
The powdered sodium bicarbonate removes stains from the tooth surfaces, while the water washes them off of the affected areas. The result is the smile that has a natural polish and white shine to it.
The treatment does not damage the tooth enamel (our hygiene service consists of a careful clean) and after the polishing that is part of this treatment, plaque will not be able to stick to your enamel.
Airflow teeth polishing is the superior way to remove the stains and discoloration caused by smoking or by drinking red wine, tea, and coffee. it whitens teeth while thoroughly removing harmful dental plaque. It can be used to clean and open fissures before sealing and is the best cleaning method to use before bonding. It has fast become the go-to teeth cleaning for dental professionals.
Cleaner, whiter teeth not only make you look and feel good, they also ensure fresh breath, help you feel confident, give you a brighter smile, and are a vital part of maintaining healthy oral hygiene. Airflow polishing is double-good because not is only is it the most effective cleaning method for removing stubborn, unsightly stains, and dangerous plaque but it is also the most comfortable for you, the patient. Importantly, it can get at plaque below the gum-line to prevent future problems like periodontal disease.
Air polishing, unlike some cleaning procedures, is a painless, fast and non-invasive method of cleaning. The non-toxic powder used in air polishing is also more pleasant and less gritty than the heavy paste used in traditional polishing. It seemingly doesn’t touch the teeth as it thoroughly does the cleaning job. It even comes in flavours, such as spearmint, to enhance the patient’s pleasure. And, if you suffer like so many of our patients with sensitivity especially whilst cleaning, then you’ll love the air flow polisher.
Airflow polishing is certainly more comfortable than the abrasive cleaning methods of the past. Because it doesn’t come in contact with the teeth and avoids heat and vibration, air flow polishing is ideal for those who suffer from sensitive teeth. But it also has some other benefits which could save you money in the long run. For example, the high-pressure airflow treatment can blast away at slight decay occurring near the surface of the teeth so that time-consuming and expensive drilling may not be necessary later. Airflow polishing can also encourage the re-mineralization of damaged teeth. Who knows how much costly dental work down the road it may prevent?
We highly recommend this treatment to anyone who smokes, drinks coffee or tea, or to anyone who has a tendency to accumulate tartar, or have gingivitis or periodontitis. Tartar removal with Airflow technology is a part of periodontal treatment.
Our address is: 8F Gilbert Place, Holborn (next door to Bloomsbury), London, WC1A 2JD. About Camden: Lincoln's Inn Fields is a neighbourhood in the extreme south of the borough that is only 500 metres from the Thames. The northern part of the borough is home to Kentish Town, Hampstead, and Hampstead Heath, which are less populous districts. Numerous parks and open areas may be found in the London Borough of Camden. City of Westminster (near Soho, London) and the City of London are the next-door boroughs, followed by Brent to the west of what was once Roman Watling Street (now the A5 Road), Barnet and Haringey to the north, and Islington to the east. It encompasses all or a portion of the following postcode areas: N1, N6, N7, N19, NW1, NW2, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, EC1, WC1, WC2, W1, and W9.
The borough of Camden also includes Bloomsbury, known for its garden squares. To the west, the fashionable district of Marylebone is rich in shops and restaurants, while the prestigious Mayfair extends slightly into Camden. Covent Garden, famed for its entertainment and market, adds to Camden's vibrancy. Bordering the east of the borough are Clerkenwell and Farringdon, hubs for the design industry and renowned for their mix of old and new architecture. Although Lambeth and South Bank are located south of the Thames and not within Camden, they contribute to the broader cultural scene that Camden residents can easily access. To the east of Camden, beyond Islington, lies the diverse and bustling borough of Hackney, which provides a distinct cultural blend of its own. Wimpole Street and Harley Street (very close to Camden) are famous for the high number of private health care providers, especially dentists.

The Vatican newspaper has lashed out against a portrayal of a blood-stained terrorist God on the cover of Charlie Hebdo’s special issue commemorating one year since the terror attack on its Paris office in which 11 people were killed.
The cover illustration on the issue, which went on sale today, shows an angry, bearded God figure splattered with blood and carrying a Kalashnikov rifle over his shoulder. A large caption reads, “One year on: The assassin is still out there.”
The Vatican daily newspaper, Osservatore Romano, said that the cover disrespected all faiths. It criticized the magazine for essentially echoing the justification for crimes committed by religious extremists.
The newspaper accused Charlie Hebdo of “forgetting once more what religious leaders of every faith unceasingly repeat to reject violence in the name of religion – using God to justify hatred is a genuine blasphemy, as Pope Francis has said several times.”
The provocative cover marks a year since two Islamic terrorists burst into the office of the magazine and gunned down 11 people, including eight members of Charlie Hebdo’s staff. The horrific attack was a response to cartoons of the prophet Muhammed which the anti-religious and secularist magazine had published, angering the Muslim community worldwide.
In a statement made a week after the attacks, Pope Francis condemned killing in God’s name but added that religion could not be insulted, saying that there are “limits” to what one should say about other faiths. “You cannot provoke, you cannot insult other people’s faith, you cannot mock it,” he warned.

A U.S. federal court judge on Wednesday blocked a key part of the Bush administration’s stepped-up efforts to crack down on illegal immigrant workers and those who employ them.
Judge Charles Breyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted a preliminary injunction against a program that would force employers to verify Social Security numbers and fire workers whose numbers did not match official records.
This judge thinks that forcing employers to verify SSNs and holding them to 90 days to either get the error corrected or fire the worker is unfair to all workers.
The ACLU, the AFL-CIO, and other labor groups brought the lawsuit challenging the law.
Breyer had already blocked the Social Security Administration from sending out 140,000 letters to employers with 8 million employees whose names did not match their nine-digit identification numbers.
So we’ve got a list of potential problems (of all sorts) that this judge has prevented from being checked.
I’ve always felt that two main strategies need to be implemented before any real reform of the illegal immigration problem can begin. We must a) Secure the border and b) Go hard after employers who hire illegal aliens.
These aren’t ground-breaking ideas, here. They’re simply enforcement of existing law and plain common sense.

We suppose that applies to Mo’Nique’s situation, too.
According to TMZ, Mo has finally ended a nasty legal battle with her landlords over a house she claimed smelled like dog poop … and she’s still living there!
Like EURweb on Facebook
As we reported some time back, Mo’Nique’s Georgia landlords sued the actress and her husband Sidney Hicks last year, claiming they walked out on their lease agreement still owing $370,000 in unpaid rent. Mo fired back with her own suit, claiming they bailed on the contract for a slew of reasons … including that the house smelled like dog crap, wet dog, and whatever else you can imagine.
Now, according to TMZ, the maddness is behind them and both parties came to an agreement last week and dropped their dueling lawsuits. Sources say that as part of the settlement deal, it was Mo that had to pay up, although it’s unclear how much.
She and Sidney are still living in the house as well and she has to continue paying rent until she moves out.

1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup each oat bran and flax seed meal
2 tablespoons Framboise or orange juice
1 teaspoon each baking soda, salt, cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare two loaf pans with butter and flour or Baker’s Joy.
Mix strawberries and Framboise with 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside for one hour, until juicy.
Combine all dry ingredients—remaining sugar, flours, flax seed meal, bran, soda, salt and cinnamon—
together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in oil, eggs and strawberries.
Mix gently, until flour is almost incorporated, then add pecans and finish mixing. The
dough will be wet and sticky.
Push into two prepared loaf pans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-60 minutes,
until a toothpick tests clean. Turn out to cool. Since it makes two large loaves, store one loaf,
wrapped in heavy duty foil in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature overnight before serving.

US Clinical Labs To Lose Money On COVID-19 Testing Without $5Bn Set Aside In Third $1Tn Aid Bill
A $5bn emergency fund reimbursing US clinical laboratories for scaling up COVID-19 testing with lab-developed tests must be part of a $1tn Senate coronavirus aid and relief package, clinical lab group ACLA says. Other provisions already included in the draft bill address stockpiling of testing swabs, liability protection for medtech firms, a requirement for device makers to report supply chain shortages, the expanded use of telehealth, and preventing durable medical equipment payment reductions.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Philosophy
A revised edition to a solid performing book, with expanded content on various philosophers and ideas.
-- The current edition has sold over 61,000 since its release in November of 1997.
-- Existing content is great, but needs to be added to in order to more effectively compete with Philosophy for Dummies, which, at 360 pages, is 100 pages over our current edition.
-- By its very nature, philosophy is not subject to a great deal of change over time, and therefore can be expected to continue to perform at or above current levels.
Philosophy is all about being, knowing, and acting. It poses daring questions such as what exists, what counts as knowledge, and how do we know things? And, as life becomes more and more complicated, people turn to philosophy to help themselves better understand the world around them-politics, religion, family, the environment, and more. The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Philosophy, Second Edition will continue the first edition's success in exposing beginners to the world of philosophy, its ideas, and its philosophers. It will contain expanded content on existing ideas and philosophers covered in the first edition, but it will also introduce new philosophers whose ideas were not included in the first edition, but whose contributions to the world of philosophy are perhaps now less obscure.

MONTRÉAL, October 27, 2015 – During yesterday’s symposium jointly organized with the Conseil du patronat du Québec (CPQ), Johanne Gélinas, Partner in the Management Consulting Group at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, presented highlights from a report conducted for the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles du Québec (MERN).
The report, which was published today (available on our website in French), is the product of several months of analyses and meetings, as part of the government initiative announced on November 18, 2014 on the social acceptability of projects to develop public land and energy and mineral resources.
“We are happy to have contributed to this strategic exercise to support more balanced project development in Quebec. I am particularly pleased with the interest expressed by meeting participants and their willingness to share their experience. Needless to say, times have changed and it is imperative to ask questions and suggest new ways of doing things. I also commend the MERN for having taken on this major project, even if it ultimately concerns the whole of government, as noted by several participants,” stated Gélinas.
The key takeaways from the report include the need, among others, to develop a government-wide vision of social acceptability based on a concerted approach. The analysis also recommends building on information and communication to ensure that any person interested in a project―developers, municipalities or citizens―can get answers to their questions. The report also stated that providing support and better guidance to such actors is also a key social acceptability factor.
“Our firm’s report, prepared in collaboration with Transfert Environment and Society, suggests avenues for discussion. This is an initial exercise in reflection with concrete suggestions that the MERN and civil society will need to hone in the months to come,” concluded Gélinas.
