If the coffee was not good, you can ask another one or ask the money back. However my excuse for the bad service( long waiting). I will find it out.

Stopped to grab something to munch on the train to the Hague. Only after I scarfed down the two slices of lemon cake did I regret not buying more. So damn good. The other food they had was also very tssty and decently priced.

In many ways, we are mourning a passing. The congregation of The Presbyterian Church of Perry Valley has been an active part of the Millerstown/Newport community for 130 years, first as Wright’s and the PCPV.. To now be faced with the closure of the church, the natural cycle of life for a congregation coming full circle has been difficult. The pandemic has only served to accelerate the process.
Your brothers and sisters in The Presbytery of Carlisle grieve with you. Your FAMILY at Westminster and Highland United are in pain with you. But… we also celebrate the gifts PCPV has given to our communities, to The Juniata Valley Shared Ministry, and to the myriad of people who have called Perry Valley home for so long.
We stand by to welcome you to Highland United, and Westminster, as the equal brothers and sisters which are already are. We pray you find comfort in the familiar feeling that our congregations bring to the experience of being Presbyterian in south central Pennsylvania.
The Final Service at The Presbyterian Church of Perry Valley will be December 27, 2020.

I need some advice. I am customizing SuiteCRM to work for an industry vertical. I have added custom fields to different modules here and there, and changed field labels. However, I have had to heavily customize the opportunities module. I have renamed the module, and added about a hundred fields to the module. Is this the right approach or should I redo everything in a custom module? I need all the relationships and where the opportunities module is in the business process cycle. Is there an easy way to copy a standard module into a custom one? What about all the relationships, references, links from other modules, etc?
I’m trying to stay away from much development work, but also want to do this right. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
this heavily depends on the purpose of the customized module. Do you use the opportunity in the same way as it is meant to work in SuiteCRM or does it have a totally different application? In the second case it would be more useful to create a custom module.
Another question: why on earth do you need 100 additional fields? This seems like a design concept failure.
Unfortunately you cannot copy your standard module in a custom module. You would have to build it from scratch.
The purpose of the renamed module is more like a “case” module in SuiteCRM; however, where is falls in the lifecycle of CRM space, is similar to an opportunity. As far as the number of fields are concerned, it could not be helped. There was quite a bit of information that we needed to keep track of and this was the only way. They are “in-addition” to the existing fields which were also required, and not “in lieu of”.
I read some articles about how to copy a standard module manually into a custom module, so I’m going to try that in a sandbox environment and see how it works out.
Create a custom module in module builder via the admin panel then deploy it. But dont create the relationships in module builder just the basic module and fields. You can then create relationships to anything else you need through studio or manually. Module builder only allows you to create very basic modules but they are the ideal starting point for your own customisations. It may be possible to copy and paste some of the var defs from opportunities into your custom module to copy over some of the functionality without cloning the entire module which is not advisable.

Chloride and Nitrate Distributions in Unsaturated Alluvium, Joshua Tree, California
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012
The current study will advance the evaluation of ground-water recharge within arid environments such as Joshua Tree National Park. The dry conditions of the Joshua Tree area contribute to the lack of ground water sub-basin recharge of the Morongo groundwater basin in the southern Mojave Desert. The (JBWD) Joshua Basin Water District and United States Geological Survey (USGS) are evaluating ground-water useage and sustainability with a groundwater flow model. The estimation of ground-water recharge for the model involves measurements of solutes within the unsaturated zone. My specific research is the extraction and analysis of chloride, nitrate, and other soluble anions to see the hydrologic implications of accumulation of the soluble salts in desert settings. The methods used were oven-drying, sieving sediment of different depths, hydrating them and shaking overnight, filtering the liquid to acquire the soluble anions. Calculation of the mass of chloride and nitrate in the unsaturated zone is used to estimate the long-term downward water flux of the arid area. In this study, I will be comparing USGS previous data with more recent data to check for precision and accuracy.

I have often complained about movies that ran too long because the director neglected to remove tangential storylines which didn’t advance the main plot. It’s often backstory told in a flashback we don’t need.
Well, as I’ve started reading more novels over the last few years (thanks, pandemic!), I find the same is true in the book world. I just finished one that ran 375 pages when the tale could have easily been told in 250 pages — but two-thirds of the way through, new characters were introduced who added very little but were nonetheless fleshed out at length.
There’s also a tendency by too many authors to use their books to prove how much they learned about a subject they researched in depth before they began writing. It’s as if they feel they have to prove to themselves those efforts were not in vain, despite making the final draft sag with detail after detail that adds nothing to the plot. Part of the blame for this problem has to be laid at the feet of editors who don’t tell authors to cut, cut, cut. Or maybe the editors are the ones who received a shorter manuscript and told the writers to pad the whole thing because the book-buying public won’t pay thirty bucks for something that short.
I’m not saying there’s no reason for a lengthy book. Plenty of them are fully justifiable, spinning complex stories around fascinating characters that keep readers interested for hours on end. Many spin off sequels and become successful series, and I’ve read quite a few of those. But I’ll also admit that on more than one occasion, I’ve found myself skipping multiple pages because I just don’t care about the five-century history of some building the main character just stepped over the threshold of on the way to getting the single clue that solves the whole mystery.
I know that writing popular fiction takes a lot of creativity and work, but if the result is bloated by 50% or more, you’re only wasting time — not just for readers, but for yourself.

Open exhibitions at the Wonsook Kim School of Art Student Art Gallery – News
Illinois State University’s Wonsook Kim School of Art Photographic Space is pleased to present Exhibitions, the fifth exhibition on display at the Illinois State University Student Art Gallery within the Illinois Central Regional Airport (CIRA), located across from the main entrance inside the terminal at 3201 E. Empire St., in Bloomington. The opening hours of the gallery correspond to the opening hours of the airport. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Exhibitions is visible until September 5, 2021. A closing reception is scheduled for August 25, from 5 pm to 7 pm
Exhibitions showcases the work of five students and reflects work that not only covers the depth and breadth of his student body, but also highlights a range of photographic medium.
Using a variety of techniques and approaches, from documentary storytelling to abstract studies of the body to non-camera photograms, these student artists have chosen to use photography as a means of creative expression. Students who enroll in photography classes at Wonsook Kim School of Art come from various fields and have different levels of experience in photography, but each student brings their own sensitivity and interests to their work.
Toni DiPrima ’22 (BFA art) poignantly combines image and text by placing love letters from grandparents and other keepsakes directly onto light-sensitive photographic paper in Love Bill. DiPrima then exposes and develops the image in the darkroom in black and white, creating unique photograms that bring a hauntingly beautiful love story to life.
In his moving series Love never dies, Hyojung lee ‘22 (BFA graphic design) photographs the many ways in which her mother-in-law honors the memory of her late husband after 46 years of marriage, a testament to lasting love even after death.
that of Matt Frostman, ‘21 (BA photography) Sensus Coporis presents close-up studies of body surfaces that document scars from past sports injuries, including wrestling, athletics and football, using dramatic lighting and strong black and white contrast.
In To touch, Catherine Vernon ‘21 (BFA photography) evokes a feeling of tactile intimacy with soft colors, translucent materials and close cropping. Printed on inkjet canvas from scanned color negatives and hung directly on the wall, the work also explores the materiality of photography.
In his project Dancing in quarantine, by Shahrzad Hamzeh ‘20 (MA theater studies) vibrant images of masked dancers on the leafy Illinois state campus show viewers an important lesson we’ve all learned in the face of a year of unprecedented challenges. Hamzeh’s photographs demonstrate that whatever the circumstances, we will overcome the trials and tribulations of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) through resilience, grace and creativity.
Exhibitions is hosted by Illinois State University photography professor Jin Lee and assistant photography professor Jason Reblando.
The Student Art Gallery at the Central Illinois Regional Airport is a central part of the mission of the Wonsook Kim School of Art at Illinois State University.

I am usually one to enjoy my 2 a.m. rendezvous with my partner. Especially after not seeing him for months at a time, but lately there has been a problem in the bedroom.
It’s been happening for a few months now, but recently it has gotten much worse. It has made our time in the bedroom awkward and far from pleasurable.
It’s a disappointment. It’s flaccid. It’s the white elephant in the room, or rather, the orange Cheeto with a bad toupee.
President Trump has ruined my sex life. Yes, the President of the United States has ruined my sex life. I am an avid orgasm enthusiast and I enjoy my partner, however, since the start of his presidential campaign and eventual victory to the White House, my sex life has been disastrous.
His promise to fulfill every right-winger’s dream of defunding Planned Parenthood has scared me to my core, or rather, my ovaries.
I, like many people, have visited Planned Parenthood for services ranging from STD checks and advice on birth control as well as check ups for blood pressure and cancer screenings.
Planned Parenthood provides health services for millions of people, many of which are low-income, who are able to go to Planned Parenthood and get quality treatment and care.
The services Planned Parenthood provides are not solely for sexual health. Although it is a large portion of its services, Planned Parenthood also provides cancer screenings, flu vaccines, diabetes and thyroid screenings, and much more.
Talk of defunding Planned Parenthood derives mostly from the controversial abortion services it provides. Although abortions only make up 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s appointments, conservatives and pro-life individuals feel that by funding Planned Parenthood the government is in turn allowing these services to continue.
Federal funding for Planned Parenthood makes up approximately 40 percent of its revenue. Defunding Planned Parenthood will damn near cause them to close their doors,which will cause them to rely on donations and pay for its services.
This past Sunday was the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a court case that allowed women the right to have an abortion. Not even a full day later, our new president signed an executive order for the “Mexico City Policy,” which puts a ban on foreign aid from going to nongovernmental organizations such as the International Planned Parenthood.
I cannot imagine what it feels like to be the women in other countries who will lose access to contraceptives and the education that the IPP offers. The lack of education results into what we see in states such as Texas, whose schools teach abstinence only as means of contraception and see a high percentage of teen pregnancies.
In his first few days in office, Trump sat in a room with a bunch of rich, old, white men and signed pieces of paper that would affect the lives of thousands of women overseas. He is a coward, and so is his little posse of privileged white boys.
And yet he still questions the motives behind the women’s marches in a tweet Sunday.
Since President Trump was so quick to reinstate the “Mexico City Policy,” one can only guess what he plans to do on the homefront. So yes, Trump has ruined my sex life. And probably yours as well.

The nurse informaticist role is continuing to evolve along with healthcare—with the most recent HIMSS Nursing Informatics Workforce Survey illustrating a clear picture of how the career, which continues to be a vital role in healthcare, is changing. To qualify for the discount, you must have paid at least 50% of your order cost by 23:59 on Wednesday 3rd of December 2020 (UTC/GMT). Generally nurses are always the key role of informaticians, and add significant values which related to clinical transformation. At the same time, the CCF Intranet provides valuable information for physicians and nurses that improve their knowledge related to medical diagnoses, policies and procedures as well as giving them the chance of updating themselves with the newest technologies used. However, new barriers to success appear to be emerging, and perhaps, not where you’d suspect. All these features are essential factors that helped the Cleveland Clinic to achieve the great award of “Magnet Hospital”. Nursing informatics is focussed on the best ways to achieve good patient outcomes — it is about applying the overall process and best practice to maximize patient care wherever possible. In nursing, as with healthcare in general, informatics is being used to address the challenges of the day, significantly impacting the way nurses function in patient care. The purpose of this position statement is to affirm the American Nursing Informatics Association’s (ANIA) support for the role of the Chief Nursing Informatics Officer (CNIO) as an executive leader and full member of the executive team, providing strategic vision and leadership to drive transformation in health care delivery through the use of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. The pharmacy department uses the information system to access patient’s data such as medical reconciliation, medications profile, including current and home medications , demographics, health history and medical diagnosis. For example when ordering a chest X-ray for the patient, the radiology department will automatically place a transportation order for the patient, to be transported from the nursing floor to the radiology department. Those who have received a certificate in nursing informatics rose from 20% in 2017 to 25% in 2020. The valuable communication tool between health care providers, contributed tremendously in attaining high standards in patient care and their satisfaction. This is not an example of the work produced by our Nursing Essay Writing Service. Promotion runs from 00:01am to 11:59pm (GMT/UTC) on the 30th November 2020. These answers also topped the list when asked about perceived value of certification, although personal satisfaction (81%) edged out over enhanced credibility and marketability (78%). The average rating for the impact certification has on career was 5.14 out of seven as compared with 4.96 in 2017.

Just over half (51%) of respondents indicated that they were highly satisfied with their current position (score of six or above), which is down seven percentage points from 2017 (58%). Over the history of the survey, there has been a shift in the identified barriers to success as a nurse informaticist. The Epic System is used not only by nursing professionals, but by a large variety of allied health care departments, too. In the 2004 and 2007 surveys, respondents identified the lack of financial resources as the top barrier while in 2011 it was the lack of integration and interoperability. What Are Nursing Informatics Roles and Requirements? In 2014 and 2017, a lack of administrative support and a lack of staffing resources were the primary barriers faced. 10MONDAY2020 can only be used on orders that are under 14 days delivery. It combines nursing science, systems-driven analytics, and information science to identify, capture, manage, and share health care data. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information and knowledge to support patients, … health care professionals can document through the electronic medical record system the medical care that was provided to the patients and the patient’s responses to the care given. This shifting landscape highlights the critical need for this role within the wider healthcare ecosystem. 15MONDAY2020 can only be used on orders with a 14 day or longer delivery. The number of respondents who have been in their current role for more than five years also increased a substantial amount from 31% in 2017 to 38%. Professional development continues to be a priority, and 2020 saw a significant rise in formal education. Our Nursing Informatics Community and supporters are coming together to celebrate the tireless and inspiring work of nurses around the world, today, this year and beyond. This goal was reached by creating an informatics system that allows an easy access to data information, ensures easy communication between health care providers and promotes nursing and patient education.

NEVADA CITY, Calif.—Telestream today announced Version 3.3 software for its PRISM family of hybrid IP/SDI waveform monitor with new video format support for post-production applications beyond broadcast television.
The latest release adds faster switching of IP inputs and Dolby ED2 metadata support to PRISM’s existing IP and SDI measurement tools, the company said.
Other new features include:
- AV Delay Measurement for SDI, ST2022-6 and ST2110-20/30/31 using the AV delay test signal from Telestream Sync Pulse Generator products.
- Safe Area display with AFD graticule, which allows users to ensure that text, graphics and important information like weather, headline and school closure crawls are visible on consumers’ displays irrespective of aspect ratio and production aperture size.
- Colorized RGB Parade Waveform / Stop display for ease of use and quick operation.
- Larger floating timecode display, which allows timecode to be visible no matter how the tiles are configured.
PRISM is designed for video engineering, operations, live acquisition, event production and post-production. It offers specialized tools to maximize its usability with today’s wide color gamut, high dynamic range and high-resolution formats, it said.
Fast IP input switching –around a half second, enables camera shading operators to make comparisons quickly regardless of whether they are working in IP, SDI or a hybrid situation. Version 3.3 now supports DCI 4K post production resolutions up to 4096x2160 and refresh rates from 23.98 to 60p for everything from cinematic to broadcast workflows. The latest version also offers Dolby ED2 metadata decoding which is used for Dolby Atmos and guard band measurement for comprehensive audio monitoring.
“As the dividing lines between Film and TV production blur, we are adding capability to the PRISM platform to extend the format capability in SDI and IP to meet these needs for a broad range of customers doing higher-end post work,” says Charlie Dunn, senior vice president of the company’s Video Test, Synchronization and Quality Assurance Business Unit.
“Now that ST-2110 can be considered mainstream, we are adding the expected capability to measure AV-Delay, Dolby E/ED2 and enable a seamless switch so that the benefits of an IP infrastructure can be realized without any operational compromises.”
More information is available on the company’s website (opens in new tab).

As you all know, Bacon is the salted and smoked Pig meat of two types, raw and cooked. Just like humans, dogs also drool over it! We know you see your pet’s temptation for the yummy bacon. But It’s good to know in advance if giving the dog bacon is even worth it or not or can dogs eat raw bacon?
The answer to the question ‘can dog eat bacon bits’ or can dogs eat cooked bacon comes with some limitations. Moreover, if you are seeking an exact answer, it is advisable to avoid it in their routine diet, be it cooked or in its raw form.
Reasons To Avoid Bacon In Dogs Diet
- One serve of bacon includes around 233 calories, which can prove pretty heavy if given frequently.
- Bacon increases the dog’s thirst as a result of which he intakes more water than necessary.
- Some dogs are inherently allergic to pork food and feeding bacon can prove fatal.
Henceforth, bacon should be kept far away from a dog at all chances.
But if the situation demands you can’t help his cravings, then we got you with some of the Safest Way to Feed Bacon to Dogs!
How To Feed Bacon to Dogs: Raw Or Cooked?
Excess to everything is bad. But if given in moderation, fed in the right manner knowing all dos and don’ts, you can bid adieu to all harmful repercussions that can result after eating bacon.

- Raw bacon is rich in protein, and good for your dog’s muscular strength.
- Having a bite of raw bacon is enough to fulfil your dog’s sodium needs and prevents dehydration too!
- It makes your dog pretty full for a long time.
Now you know what merits and demerits raw bacon holds for your dog. However, while knowing the after-effects of eating raw bacon, one should also have a fair idea to treat them!
Treatment To Cure Harmful Effects
- To treat indigestion after having raw bacon, fasting for 12-14 hours can be ideal.

Now, be careful and follow all the guidelines next time you give your dog some raw bacon. Let’s head over to the cautions of feeding crispy cooked bacon.
Ways TO Feed Cooked Bacon

Safest Way to Feed Cooked Bacon
Since all you need to take care of while feeding cooked bacon is to drain off the extra grease that accumulates on its stop and give it in the right quantity.

- It has seasonings that might not be best for your dog’s pancreas, causing deadly diseases like pancreatitis.
- Bacon is cooked at high temperatures, leading to the formation of heterocyclic amines which can give rise to cancerous tissues.
- Furthermore, if you think, is bacon grease good for dogs? Absolutely not! It clogs the arteries causing heart problems. Also, it’s the nasty grease of cooked bacon that your dog craves!
However, cooked bacon is preferred over raw bacon due to some of its health benefits that the latter lacks.
Health Benefits of Cooked Bacon

- Bacon has the appropriate amount of fats left in it after cooking which enables healthy brain development in puppies.
- It can be paired up with meat and turkeys. But can dogs eat turkey bacon? Yes! This flavourful combination rich in nutrients and healthy fatty acids if given in moderation can be a good one-time snack.
Treatment To Cure Harmful Effects
At earlier stages of witnessing harmful effects, you can try to treat them at home by following tips:
- Give them chamomile tea routinely to prevent any stomach pain caused by the rise of cancerous tissues or other diseases.
- Giving super bland diets and strictly following it for 2 weeks at least.
- Exercising them daily.
If the conditions keep getting worse, don’t delay your visit to the vet. He would be checking your dog thoroughly and finding the core problem caused by the bacon, prescribing required injectable medication, and hospitalization in rare cases! can dogs eat raw bacon?
Henceforth, now it’s safe to say that you wouldn’t lack any information to decide whether the bacon is really worth the trouble or not! Another thing that often confuses dog owners is Do Dogs Need Bacon or Pork?
Let’s solve this jig up!
Now you have a fair idea on how bacon is not worth it for your dog’s health so the real question that stands is if pork is worth it? Let’s see!
|Has nutritional values like magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and fat-soluble vitamin D||Lacks in carrying fat-soluble vitamin D|
|Has no additives prior to cooking.||Has large amounts of sodium and other additives get added in their raw form.|
|Requires cooking.||Does Not necessarily require cooking and can be eaten in its raw form.|
This shows that pork definitely has a little edge over bacon.
Should You Feed Your Dog Pork?
When it comes to your dog wanting pork, it’s best to ignore the desire as pork. Like bacon, pork is very fatty and isn’t something to be included in a dog’s primary diet. Although, you can feed your dog pork in limited portions on rare occasions!
However, there are situations where pork shouldn’t be given.
When Pork Isn’t Okay for Dogs?
Here are the conditions where pork can prove a disaster for your dog’s health:
- If the pork is Raw or uncooked.
- If the pork strip isn’t a lean cut.
- If the pork isn’t properly refrigerated for 2-4 days before cooking.
Regardless of these events, having pork over bacon is a wonderful choice!
Bacon and pork do have some benefits too but they can never overpower the cons it holds for your dog and it’s not wise to do anything that can put your dog in little danger also!
1. What happens if a dog eats bacon?
If a dog has eaten bacon, he can suffer from lethargy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even fever. One must visit the vet to prevent any severe diseases!
2. Can one piece of bacon hurt a dog?
No, one piece of bacon wouldn’t hurt a dog given that it’s not given frequently
3. Can dog eat pork sausage?
Pork sausage should be completely out of the dog menu as it’s high in fat and salt and also contains seasonings rich in onion or garlic powder not good for a dog’s health!
To conclude, it’s not that your dog can’t have some raw bacon to appease his taste buds, but it’s better to avoid it always as along with the savory aroma comes some bad consequences for health. Although, following all the safety guidelines suggested in that article, you can let them have bacon in a safe way too! A better option is switching to dog treats that are of bacon flavor!
Hope this article helps fulfill your purpose!

High Tide...Wader Spectacular
Last week had seen a succession of 10 metre and 9 metre + tides. These very high tides are always good for watching waders as their normal feeding grounds are covered and they are forced into large roosts to await the falling back of the tide. Under these conditions a visit to the Southport coastline can provide excellent opportunities to get close to various species of wader and obtain some exciting action shots of the comings and goings.
So it proved last week and I made two visits to the Southport sands to locate the large wader roosts. Many of the waders,particularly the knot,had recently returned from their breeding grounds in the High Arctic and were still sporting their breeding plumages and were living up to their name of Red Knot. I had a very enjoyable time and hope I have captured some of the atmosphere and action from this seaside spectacular. Many hundreds of images were taken and I hopefully have weeded out some of the better ones for the blog. I may post some more on my next entry but hope my followers enjoy the ones shown above. The images show mainly Knot performing their aerobatics over the incoming tide and a passing party of oystercatcher and a group of sanderling a few of which are also showing partial breeding plumage.

The first record of Suitia (Svidja) is from the year 1420. First known owner was Björn Ragvaldsson, the judge in the Raasepori. After him Fleming family started to use Suitia as their secondary residence. The third owner, Erik Fleming was a remarkable Councilor of State of Sweden. He fought succesfully against Danish army and drove them away from Finland in 1523. After the war Erik Fleming lived in Suitia and extended lands and improved the manor. The present grey stone manor was completed by him about 1550.
Flemings lived in Suitia near 250 years. Their era ended up in 1730, when the Russians had demolished Suitia badly in the Great Northern War. Since it has been owned by several families. It was restored to the late medieval outfit in the beginning of the 20th century by August Wrede af Elimä.
Only battle in Suitia was fought in 1918, when the unit of white army defended it against red guards. The government of Finland reclaimed Suitia in 1934. Nowadays it’s rent to Helsinki University.
The city walls of Avila were built in the 11th century to protect the citizens from the Moors. They have been well maintained throughout the centuries and are now a major tourist attraction as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can walk around about half of the length of the walls.
The layout of the city is an even quadrilateral with a perimeter of 2,516 m. Its walls, which consist in part of stones already used in earlier constructions, have an average thickness of 3 m. Access to the city is afforded by nine gates of different periods; twin 20 m high towers, linked by a semi-circular arch, flank the oldest ones, Puerta de San Vicente and Puerta del Alcázar.

Art into Society – Society into Art: Seven German Artists
ICA Fox Reading Room, London
19 January – 6 March 2016
Can art bring about reform? Maybe even revolution? How might it be used as a politically motivated tool? These questions were at the forefront of seven key German artists’ minds in the early 1970s, and an exhibition of their work, held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1974, opened them out to a wider international audience.
In its series of archival exhibitions, displayed in
the Fox Reading Room, the ICA has currently mounted a grand review of the
exhibition Art into Society – Society into Art: Seven German Artists, which
took place from 29 October – 24 November 1974 and was organised by the then ICA
curator, Norman Rosenthal, and the writer and curator Christos M Joachimides. The
research and display have been jointly – and thoroughly – pulled together by
Lucy Bayley and Juliette Desorgues. On show are photographs of the installation
and surrounding events; vitrines with the catalogue and printed material
relating to the exhibition; photocopied press coverage from the time; and
select audio and video material, including extracts from a general discussion
on politics in Germany that took place at the ICA on 19 November 1974.

New Delhi: India has rejected the US State Department’s report on international religious freedom, saying it is based on “misinformation and flawed understanding”. According to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, ‘We are aware of the release of the US State Department’s 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom. Sadly, such reports continue to be based on misinformation and flawed understanding. He further said that the reports are motivated and biased remarks by some US officials that only serve to undermine the credibility of these reports. But we will continue to exchange openly.”
The statement came in response to the US State Department’s 2022 report on International Religious Freedom, where it alleged high-handedness against minorities, especially Muslims, by various state governments in India.
“During the year there were numerous reports of violence by law enforcement officers against members of religious minorities in several states, including plainclothes police in Gujarat arresting four Muslim men accused of injuring Hindu worshipers during a festival in October, and Madhya Pradesh publicly flogged the state government. Muslim homes and shops were bulldozed following communal violence in Khargone in April,” the US report read.
In June, the UN special envoys on adequate housing, minority issues, and freedom of religion and belief wrote to the government to express their “serious concern” about the “punitive” demolition in Khargone, which they said The order was given arbitrarily by the local governments. Punish Muslim minorities and low-income communities.”
In October, a report prepared by a citizens’ committee said there were “numerous instances of apparent police complicity” in violent actions against protesters, who were mostly Muslim, in the 2020 Delhi riots.
Following the release of the report, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that in India, legal advocates and faith leaders from various religious communities across the country condemned a case of extreme hate speech against Muslims in the city of Haridwar, calling on the country to support its called upon. Historical traditions of pluralism and tolerance.
Meanwhile, responding to a media query on the International Religious Freedom Report on India, a senior US State Department official said the official was pained to see the name of New Delhi and what has been highlighted in today’s report. Has happened.

Qureshi, Turkish FM discuss Afghan peace process
- Shah Mahmood says Pakistan hopes for Afghan parties to seize historic opportunity for a politically negotiated settlement
- Turkish foreign minister appreciated Pakistan’s conciliatory role in the Afghan peace process and also hinted at joint efforts to stabilize the region
(Karachi) Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi held a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum and discussed issues of mutual interest, including the Afghan peace process.
In a tweet on Sunday, Qureshi said: Great to meet FM @MevlutCavusoglu today, and congratulations on such a vibrant and engaging @AntalyaDF."
He added, "Turkey and Pakistan share excellent bilateral relations and I was happy to be a part of and lend my support to the #AntalyaDiplomacyForum."
Pak-Afghan soil will not be used against any country: Qureshi
The foreign minister stated that he discussed the 7th Session of High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council in #Turkey, 2021, and the latest developments related to the Afghanistan peace process & withdrawal of troops.
He added, "Pakistan hopes for Afghan parties to seize historic opportunity & for an inclusive, politically negotiated settlement."
He further said that Pakistan is committed to playing a positive role in bringing peace to the region, including Afghanistan.
Afghanistan: Pakistan concerned over increase in violence
Both leaders also discussed matters related to mutual interest and ways to mobilise the international community to help stop Indian aggression against innocent Kashmiris.
The FM apprised the Turkish foreign minister of the sentiment prevailing in Pakistan in support of the Palestinian and Kashmiri people.
Meanwhile, the Turkish foreign minister appreciated Pakistan’s conciliatory role in the Afghan peace process and also hinted at joint efforts to stabilize the region.
Earlier, addressing the inaugural session of the Pak-Afghan Bilateral Dialogue, Qureshi said Pakistan cannot be held responsible for the crises in Afghanistan and will continue to play a positive role in the success of intra-Afghan peace talks.
He stated Pakistan's reconciliatory role and the agreement between the US and Taliban in Doha will help maintain peace in the region. He maintained that Pakistan's efforts have been recognised internationally as part of the solution and not part of the problem.
He said there is no military solution to the Afghan conflict, adding that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is in the interest of Pakistan and the whole region. He said that there are spoilers inside and outside Afghanistan and both parties should be fully cognisant of their nefarious designs.
In February 2020, a deal was struck between the United States and the Taliban in which it was agreed that 5,000 Taliban prisoners will be released before the commencement of peace talks.
On August 10, 2020, Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani issued a decree to release the final batch of prisoners demanded by the Taliban as a condition to move to peace talks. After negotiations, the Afghan government released the remaining Taliban prisoners, kicking off intra-Afghan peace talks.
The peace process began in Doha but was disrupted after violent incidents in Afghanistan. Later, United States President Joe Biden said that withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would be complete by September this year. The president cited "tactical reasons" for the delay, but clarified it is not the US government's intention to keep the troops for a long time in the war-torn country.
He said that US soldiers must leave Afghanistan in a safe and orderly manner.
The two foreign ministers agreed to continue consultations for the development of bilateral relations and peace in the region.

“Denatured” Exhibition — Partner and Sons
Featuring artwork from Eriko Hattori, Caitlin McCormack, & Noelle Velez. Curated by Field Projects.
Weaving together unique personal mythologies, the artists in this exhibition wind fantasy around memoir. Hybrid creatures stroll, fly, and wind sensuously through each work, together reclaiming the monstrous as a space for the self and exploration. Monsters, demons, and fantasy are all engaged by these three artists whose works empathetically employ the monstrous to explore their relations with gender identity, queer life, family ties, mental illness, abuse, and love. Denatured presents the taxonomy of creatures developed by Eriko Hattori, Caitlin McCormack, and Noelle Velez. Together these works display the benefits of identifying with hybridity; an expanded universe for the self.
Message from Partners and Son: Masks still required, social distancing still encouraged. Contact [email protected] for more information.
This event is not produced by the South Street Headhouse District (SSHD) but is shared on our Website Calendar where events occurring within our district are featured. Please contact the event organizer for questions.

Due to Apple’s latest 5nm chip, the performance and power efficiency of the M1 Mac have received a lot of praise, but there are also some shortcomings that have not been mentioned.
First of all, Apple does not provide user-replaceable components, because everything is soldered on the motherboard. Secondly, the memory of all M1 Mac models is limited to 16GB. If you use all the memory, the program will start using SSD as the page file. Unfortunately, some owners complain that the solid state drive is too worn, which may lead to a reduction in the life of the machine.
A Twitter post initiated by Hector Martin and Longhorn mentioned that their total SSD writes reached an unusually high number within a few months. Martin claimed that his M1 Mac reported that a total of 600GB of data was written on the SSD, and that he did not overuse the machine. Longhorn said that in just two months, his M1 Mac’s 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD write volume has reached 1% of the guaranteed total write volume.
An M1 Mac user with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB solid state drive reported that the total number of bytes that can be written is 3%. He speculates that if it is a 256GB solid state drive, 30% of this value may have been used. According to these calculations, this solid-state hard drive will be completely worn out in two years, requiring customers to repair this Mac or purchase a brand new Mac.
Although PCIe SSDs are lightning fast, they can only handle a limited amount of data writes before the machine starts to have problems. The larger the capacity, the larger the total amount of data that can be written on the Mac. Apple’s Mac OS platform can also ensure that the written data is evenly distributed on the flash memory chip to extend the service life, but at this speed, customers may need to repair the machine as soon as possible. It is still unclear whether the software made an error in reporting the total number of bytes written, or whether the Mac OS inadvertently caused the problem. Hope that Apple will discover this situation and investigate this issue.

About the Trash Fashion Show
Trash Fashion is a community movement that values the invention of fashionable products created out of goods deemed useless, unwanted, imperfect, or disposable. The premise is that items that could be recycled or sent to the landfill can be engaged with creatively in order to generate an aesthetically appealing product that brings attention to the waste that is commonly produced by our consumptive habits. Installation pieces will be on display for two weeks.
Learn more about the Trash Fashion Show scheduled for Sunday, April 22 and hosted by community members and the Office of Sustainability.
About the CI 3552 Environmental Literacy Student Videos
These student videos were made as a final project for CI 3552 Environmental Literacy. Students were instructed to research parts of the RCOE that were LEED certified and make a video on one aspect. Topics include: amenities within walking distance, cork flooring, low-flow sink faucets, LED light bulbs, the rooftop garden, the solar hot water heater, underground stormwater detention and access to public transportation. Videos will be available to view via a dedicated iPad kiosk station.
Earth Day Teach-In
The RCOE’s Earth Day Teach-In is open to all. The goal to raise awareness surrounding the Zero Waste initiative in the college and across campus.
The event will include information tables discussing ways that we can limit our impact upon the environment as well as recycled materials arts and crafts stations. Assistance will be provided by the Office of Sustainability’s Zero Waste interns.
Date: Thursday, April 26, 2018
Time: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Location: RCOE Rotunda
Add to calendar
Earth Week Celebration Parade and Eco-Justice Drum Circle
The teach-in will also include an Earth Week Celebration Parade, complete with a “Trash Dragon.” The parade will begin at 1:00 pm at the RCOE building and will travel to Sanford Mall for the culminating event of a drum circle for eco-justice.
Similarly to the premise behind Trash Fashion, the Trash Dragon is a creative means through which individuals construct an artistic rendering that is simultaneously a thing of beauty and playfulness. The Trash Dragon can be used to help raise awareness around the impact that our consumptive lifestyles have on the biosphere and is a fun way to educate and interact with people on topics of sustainability and environmental awareness.
Drums for the Eco-Justice Drum Circle are being provided by RCOE’s Expressive Arts Therapy program.
About the RCOE Sustainability Committee
The RCOE Sustainability Committee is composed of faculty and staff who are dedicated to providing events, programming, and educational opportunities within the RCOE related to sustainability. A particular emphasis of the committee is to seek creative ways that we, as a community, can incorporate sustainability into our everyday practices and discover relationships and intersections between sustainable principles and the field of education.

Plants, like other living organisms, need specific conditions to grow and remain healthy. Sunlight, water, and nutrients are essential conditions for the plant’s vital processes. If you are taking care of any plants, you may be familiar with how an unhappy plant looks like. You may notice some wilting and discoloration, for example, depending on what the deficiency is. Homemade plant food may be the answer to some of your plant’s needs.
In this article, we share information about plant food and how to make your own:
* What is plant food?
* When to use plant food
* Preparing your own homemade plant food
What Is Plant Food
Plants need a range of minerals to grow, including potassium and nitrogen. Under normal conditions, these come from the soil or growing medium where the plants live. When a plant does not get all of the elements it needs, its growth can become stunted, it can start to wilt and die, or its leaves can become discolored and yellow. Plant food provides a supplement to these nutrients when they are in short supply.
You can buy or make plant food. The most important elements in it are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous. Magnesium and calcium can also be included as they are essential for many plant functions as well.
You may be wondering what the difference is between plant food and fertilizer. Sometimes these terms are interchanged. A fertilizer contains the required macronutrients and micronutrients for optimum growth. Also included in the mixture, there are some fillers and ballast. Fertilizer can be organic or natural and come in different versions. They can also be referred to as plant food, as they are in this article because they are what a plant needs to grow well. Scientifically speaking, through the process of photosynthesis, plants take in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own special food.
When to Use Plant Food
There are two main situations where you might want to use plant food. If you have potted or garden plants that have used up the nutrients in the soil, it might be time to add more from plant food. You can realize that this has happened when the plants are not growing as well as they used to. For potting soil, there is a finite supply of nutrients, so over time, if no new nutrients are introduced, these can become depleted.
Another time where you might want to use plant food is when you have a floral arrangement in water. Cut flowers can stay fresh for about a week in a container of water, but after that, they begin to wilt and die. If you want your cut flowers to stay alive for longer, you can introduce some supplemental minerals by adding a bit of plant food to the water. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packet of your store-bought plant food.
If you want to order flowers for delivery, you can do so on our website. At FloraQueen, we pride ourselves on delivering fresh, professional arrangements to people all over the world. Whether you get flowers from an online delivery service, a local supplier, or your own garden, you can enjoy them for much longer by regularly changing the water and adding some plant food to the water as well.
Preparing Your Own Homemade Plant Food
Store-bought plant food is easy and convenient to get. There are many varieties with different compositions. It is a good idea to check what is in the packet before you buy it and use it with your plants. Making your own plant food can also be a good idea for many reasons. For one, you have more control over what you add. Some commercial plant food variations have a lot of added fillers and chemicals in them. These might not be the best for your plant. Another reason to go with homemade plant food is that it is cheaper. Finally, making this nutrient mix at home allows you to learn more about what plants need and makes you a better gardener overall.
There are many recipes for making plant food at home. With some, you may have all the ingredients you need at home, but with others, you might have to top with some products from your local grocery or garden store.
To make your own plant food, try this recipe. To a gallon of water, add a teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of epsom salts, and half a teaspoon of ammonia. This can be prepared in an old milk or water plastic container. After mixing all the components, you should leave the mixture for about an hour to ensure that all the additives have dissolved. This homemade plant food can then be added directly to the soil of your potted plants. The roots of the plants can then absorb the nutrients efficiently. You should notice a difference in your plants in the coming days, especially if the signs of a mineral deficiency had become apparent.
Sometimes you can get away with adding some nutrient-rich kitchen waste to your plants to treat common deficiencies. For example, when plants are lacking in nitrogen, you can add some coffee grounds to the soil because these are rich in nitrogen. This can effectively deal with the stunted growth, pale, and yellow leaves that are common when a plant is not getting enough nitrogen. Legumes such as peas and beans are nitrogen-rich plants. These can be planted near your deficient plants for a steady supply of nitrogen.
A phosphorous deficiency in plants can result in stunted growth and darkening leaf edges. Bone meal or fish tank water free from salt water can be added to the soil. Lack of potassium causes spots on the leaves and colored edges. For this, you can bury banana peels in the soil. Crushed eggshells in the soil provide calcium when you notice yellow spots and weakened stems. Yellowing veins and leaf edges can also signify magnesium deficiency. This can be treated with Epsom salts.
When you grow plants in pots, the important minerals and nutrients in the soil can become used up over time. Adding some plant food is a way to replenish the soil. You can buy plant food from the store or use some of our easy home remedies.

Urban Cities and Rural Towns in Canada's 5 Geological Regions
Transcript of Urban Cities and Rural Towns in Canada's 5 Geological Regions
Rural Towns in Canada's 5 Geological Regions Maritimes Halifax, Nova Scotia Human Activities Settlement Population Statistics Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Human Activities Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Settlement Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Population Statistics Central Canada Victoriaville, Quebec Arctic Igloolik, Nunavut Maritimes Central Canada Arctic Prairies Prairies Brandon, Manitoba West Coast West Coast Vancouver, British Columbia Kensington, Prince Edward Island Dryden, Ontario Arctic Bay, Nunavut Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan Mackenzie, British Columbia Now... Looking at all of these amazing places... Where do I want to live, you ask? Let's take another look at the West Coast... In this town, majority of the citizens were born in Canada. Only about 2% (30 people) of their whole population (1485 people) are immigrants. This is most likely a result of being a small town. Majority of people want to move to cities for better jobs when they first immigrate to Canada. Not saying that some people won't immigrate to this town, just that there'll be less of them. Population Statistics Education wise, 45% of 15-24 year olds that live in Kensington, don't have a certificate/diploma or degree. Possibly because some of them haven't yet graduated highschool... One of the main attractions in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. This historical landmark has an interesting star shape, as you will soon see from the picture, and may have seen in the video. This stands as a symbol of the naval station that Halifax used to be for the British Empire. Made in 1856, it's now a major tourist attraction, with interesting exhibits, presentations, and tours to teach you all about their history. Halifax, being Nova Scotia’s capital city, is the main commercial and industrial center. Their harbor is ice-free all year round, making it one of the busiest harbors in Canada. Here, they export fish, lumber, and agricultural products. Based on this information, and the location, you can deduct that this was at one point a major fishing village, with fishing as it's main industry, the foundation of their economy. It probably still is, but is obviously more developed, with more diverse jobs. Some of their industries now include shipbuilding, fish processing, and oil refining. They also manufacture automobiles, food products, rope, paint, clothing, furniture, and much more. Next you'll be viewing a graph. The information displayed is the amount of males and females in each age group. Notice that there are usually more females than males in almost every age group. Why? Women have a stronger immune system, and are more likely to see a doctor if they notice something wrong, as opposed to men, who like to think that they can tough it out. Also, it show that people aren't having as much children as they used to. This is due to the fact that women started working and getting education, therefore, putting off the decision of having a child. In other words, more family planning. At Halloween every year in Kensington PEI, they set up an amazing haunted house that everyone loves. By setting up rides, slides, a large koi pond and some small animals, this area is perfect for young kids! For the older ones or the whole family really, you can go through the haunted mansion. It isn't too scary, so it won't be traumatizing to the kids, but still very entertaining. For a reasonable price, this haunted house brings in more money than you think. In the graph that you'll view next, you should notice that out of all the 15-24 year olds, about 85% don't have a good education. Looking at their location, it's easy to deduct why this is so. The distance to go to a good college or university and the funds to get you there must be hard to come by. Here in Igloolik Nunavut, the meaning of their town name is, "a place with igloos" which is dead on. This community is known as one of the most traditional in all of Nunavut. Soon you'll see the picture of their beautiful church, and can you guess what it is? That's right, it's an igloo. Connecting this to the Settlement section, more information later on. This very traditional Inuit community carefully guards and preserves their rich heritage and traditions. It's been confirmed by archeologists that there have been Inuit on this island as far as 4,000 years ago. Generations have grown up on this land, and less than 1% of their population is immigrants. In this case, it is 10 Chinese people that immigrated there. Brandon is a tourist hub. It's known for a whole bunch of different things. They have tons of attractions and activities to offer, but one of the main events is the Lieutenant Governor’s Winter Festival at the beginning of February. This festival highlights their multiculturalism, with over 14 pavilions that offer food, beverage and entertainment from each culture. They encourage you to stop by one of their numerous shops and restaurants. As I said before, tourism is what their economy is based on here. Without the many tourism jobs offered here, their economy would crash. Everything is connected... If you don't know what I mean, don't worry, they have a university there too, where you can learn all about it. Looking at this pie chart of transportation, you notice that majority of the people use cars instead of carpooling or using public transit. Considering all the tourism that happens here, wouldn't you want to have your own car to drive to all these places to, instead of waiting for the bus or your friend who's always late? Looks like a lot of people in this city had the same thought as you. Victoriaville is a very advanced urban center, one of the best in Quebec! It has an amazing 65% rate of residual materials diverted from the landfill. Their commitment to recycling started around the 1980s, when they promoted their efforts, and created a youth training and recycling center, also know as CFER. There are now 17 centers across the province, and about 60% of the residential waste collected from urban homes is recycled, beating their goal of 50%, set in 2008. This shows how efficient it is for the regional system and local population to work together to achieve goals. Victoriaville is a beautiful place, not because of buildings or skyscrapers, but because of nature. Tons of nature lovers are drawn here, for example, the largest gathering of snow geese in Canada occurs there, bringing in bird watchers, photographers, and really anyone interested in birds. In the summer and winter, they have tons of activities to offer, some of these being; fishing, river canoeing, golf, biking, hiking, all-terrain-vehicle driving, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, etc. .
. The two graphs that you'll soon see, are graphing the amount of males or females in each age group. Look carefully though, the scales aren't the same. If you look closely, there are more females than males in most cases, especially as the ages get older. You've already hear about the reason for this, so let's move on. Vancouver is full of immigrants, not very often will you find people that were originally born there. This is due to many different factors. One of these factors is it's location on the west coast of Canada, it's closest to Asia, where most of the immigrants are from. It's easy to just stop at the edge of Canada, creating a shorter commute back to their country, as opposed to flying all the way across Canada, and having to fly all the way back, to visit home. It's time consuming and it wastes money. Another key factor is the fact that it has an international airport, so it can receive all of those new people. Lastly, because of all of these immigrants, it has created a very diverse and multicultural environment, which is very appealing to those fleeing from religion or race discrimination. Vancouver hosted the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. This was a great honour for their city, and lived up to our high expectations of having a spectacular opening and closing ceremony. Even though the games are finished, they're still feeling the after affects of it. The places where the events happened are now great tourist attractions. To highlight my earlier point, by looking at the next graph, you'll see the amount of different languages spoke in Vancouver. This diverse city has more than 13 other languages, other than English. Arctic Bay, because of its location, is know for its great views. It's a wonderful place to spot narwhals, walruses, seals and other sea mammals. They are also known for their marble carvings, ivory sculptures, clothes, and other arts and crafts that are sold by talented artists and seamstresses. Arctic Bay has been inhabited by nomadic arctic people for around 5,000 years it is also called 'Ikpiarjuk' meaning 'the pocket' in Inuktitut, based on the hills that surround the town on three sides. Based on how this graph is obviously declining, you can tell that a) this isn't a very developed community and b) the women probably aren't very well educated. The more educated the women are, the less kids they have, plus, more family planning. In this case, you can see how the amount of kids being born just keeps going up, making this community bottom heavy. Meadow Lake Provincial Park is the main attraction in Meadow Lake. here there are 25 lakes linked together by the Waterhen River. These lakes are fished for many fish, such as northern pike, walleye, and lake trout. The forest surrounding them is filled with many different animals, plus 130 different bird species. In the winter, there are still a bunch of great things that you can do, such as skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, and ice fishing. Looking at the graph showing transportation, you can see that majority of the people drive cars and no one takes public transit. Maybe because there isn't any public transit in a small town like this... Meadow Lake is made of agricultural, forest, and tourism industries. It was first settled by the First Nations, and pioneers. Now, this area is just considered a smaller scale of a regular city. It has so many different things to do, it's great for those who love the outdoors, considering that most of these activities have something related to being outside. Camping, swimming, fishing, hockey, baseball, shopping, hikes, and many more are all things that you'd learn to love by living in this town. Mackenzie is a great outdoors type of place. They have tons of activities that involve being outside, such as; snowmobiling, skiing, skating, snowshoeing and ice fishing. In the summer, there's always hiking, birding, mountain biking, camping, boating and fishing. Mackenzie has great air, ground, rail, and marine transportation. They believe that those are the ways to access good mining, forestry plans, and tourism opportunities. Their economy is dependent on the forest industry, but local companies have also benefited from mining exploration creating development. In this graph, it displays the amount of males and females in each age group. Looking at this graph, you can see that they have a good large working class, and that the amount of children they're having each year fluctuates. In the summer, many people talk about the canoe rides that they take, and all the nature they see. It's a great attraction for everyone, and the animals you witness, in their natural habitats, aren't something you'd able to be ever see in cities anymore. Of all the regions, I have to admit that I like the west coast the best. I love nature, plus the views and activities that they have to offer there seem amazing. Now, even though I know rural towns are pretty great too, they aren't for me. I'm used to the city, even though here, they're not too far away... So if I had to choose where I want to live out of all these great places, I would choose Vancouver, British Columbia.
I've always wanted to live there, I love the mountainous views, being close to the water, and the diversified culture. Since the first time I went to visit family living there, I've always wanted to go back. So, now you know about a bunch of wonderful regions, plus wonderful urban cities and rural towns in each. I hope you enjoyed this presentation! Presentation made by Alison Kong- Foon Looking at this graph about transportation, you notice that majority of people drive their own cars, rather than carpool or take public transit. Wondering why? Think about it, sometimes it is way easier to take your own car to places, especially in a smaller town with not as much traffic. Dryden, known for its amazing nature sights is a tourist hub. People come to this town, look at the great views, take their pictures, then leave, and don't stay permanently, which is why this is considered a rural town. Less permanent residents, more tourists in the summer instead, though a few do come in the winter to do some winter activities.

TD-4100 Oil in Water Monitor
The Turner Designs TD-4100 reliably detects BTEX, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and oil in water. The TD-4100 is a nonfouling continuous, on-line monitor that provides hydrocarbon and oil in water monitoring down to low ppb. The TD-4100 is installed for applications that require monitoring of treated and untreated wastewater streams ranging from industrial wastewater, groundwater, process water, produced, potable water intakes, and storm water run-off.
Why Continuous On-Line Monitoring?
Continuous on-line monitoring provides the most responsive feedback loop for measuring hydrocarbons in water. Continuous monitoring is reliable, effective, and recognized for its ability to improve process management for treating, discharging and detecting hydrocarbons in water. Compared to laboratory grab sample analysis, on-line monitoring provides cost effective, continuous, remote, operator unattended measurement of aromatic hydrocarbons in water.
Features of the TD-4100
The Unique Flowcell. The TD-4100 does not have a glass flow cell. Hydrocarbons are detected in a stream of water which falls through an open chamber; the stream does not contact, dirty or foul the optical windows used for oil in water monitoring. A proprietary Air Curtain system keeps optical Windows fog-free in humid environments or hot water applications.
Low Maintenance. There are no tubes, pumps or valves to replace. The system’s one moving part has a life expectancy of greater than 5 years. Routine maintenance involves changing a lamp twice a year and an air filter periodically.
Direct, Continuous Monitoring. The TD-4100 monitors a flowing water stream continuously. No chemicals, no pre-treatment and no manual manipulation of the sample are required to monitor aromatic hydrocarbons.
Accurate. The TD-4100 directly measures aromatic hydrocarbons in water with accuracies that consistently correlate to regulated laboratory methods.
Sensitive. BTEX, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, crude oil, aromatic solvents and refined petroleum products containing aromatics are detected by the TD-4100 from low ppb (ug/L) to high ppm (mg/L). For example, the TD-4100 can detect 5 ppb of gasoline or diesel fuel in water free of interfering compounds.
Selective. The TD-4100 continuously measures the fluorescence of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in water. Fluorescence occurs when a molecule absorbs light energy of one specific wavelength and emits light energy of a longer wavelength. Fluorescent compounds each have a unique signature, and these compounds can be displayed as an actual concentration.
Effective Monitoring in Dirty Water. Monitoring fluorescence makes the TD-4100 resistant to interferences by turbid or dirty water which impact on-line UV or IR light scatter instruments. Most substances absorb light, but very few fluoresce; if a substance does not fluoresce at specific wavelengths for the monitored aromatic hydrocarbon, it will not interfere.
Operator Friendly. The TD-4100 is designed for easy operation. Simple on-board software controls alarms, 4-20 mA output, diagnostics and calibration.
Applications exist in the fields of…
- Upset Monitoring
- Discharge Monitoring
- Continuous Monitoring
- Process Control
- Carbon Break-thru
- Oil/Water Separators
- Treatment Verification
- Hydrocarbon Leak Detection
- Pollution Prevention
- Regulatory Compliance

Despite the obvious differences, Venus has a surprising commonality with Earth in many ways, including its composition. It is also near its twin in size. A new study suggests that volcanic eruptions played a part in Venus’ transition from wet to dry.
Volcanoes are powerful planetary processes, fueled by the deep interior of the planets. These eruptions can have great effects on a planet’s climate, releasing large volumes of greenhouse gases and potentially contributing to a runaway greenhouse effect. Volcanoes can also influence oceans and cause feedback cycles. For example, on Earth, continent-size eruptions of lava have caused oceans to evaporate, which has contributed to mass extinctions.
Several massive volcanic eruptions may have contributed to Venus’ transition from wet to dry. Scientists have proposed that these eruptions were the catalyst for a runaway greenhouse effect, which caused Venus’ climate to change. However, they have not been able to witness smoking-gun proof of a live eruption. However, a recent study suggests that the chemical remnants found on Venus are from active volcanic eruptions on the surface. These findings are exciting because they offer a possible glimpse into the planet’s geological heart. The findings may also help scientists learn more about the planet’s climate and the role of volcanoes in it.
Besides volcanic eruptions, another key process is plate tectonics, which is a process by which plates dive into a superheated mantle. Plate tectonics also acts as a planetary thermostat, a process that can heat the planet’s surface and keep it from getting too cold. If there were continents on Venus, the oceans would have been filled with heat-trapping water vapor, which would have heated the atmosphere. If this happened, Venus’ climate would have changed dramatically. In turn, Venus would have lost water, leaving it hot, dry and unable to support life.
Volcanoes and plate tectonics may have played a part in Venus’ climate change, but scientists do not know for certain what type of geology is responsible. In the past, scientists have pondered whether Venus has been resurfaced or resurfaced in parts. They have also speculated that there are pancake-like layers of lava in Venus’ atmosphere, known as tesserae. These layers could have been formed by a continent-size eruption of lava, but they are also possible remnants of ancient global volcanism.
The discovery of a large amount of Phosphine, a noxious gas, in Venus’s atmosphere has also been noted by scientists. Phosphine is formed when hydrogen phosphide, a phosphorous compound, reacts with a silicate rock. When these phosphide atoms are exposed to oxygen, they break down into phosphine. This phosphine then breaks down into hydrogen phosphide.
Another interesting fact is that Venus has a much higher surface pressure than Earth, nearly 90 times higher. This is a significant difference in pressure, as CO2 is highly absorbing at high pressure. In turn, CO2 gets trapped in tectonic plates, which can only be released when volcanism occurs.
The findings of this study, which was supported by the Sellers Exoplanet Environments Collaboration, suggest that volcanism is a key factor in Venus’s current climate change. In addition to the Phosphine discovery, scientists have also uncovered a “hot zone” of volcanic activity on Venus. This area has a temperature of 467.8 degrees Celsius, which is more than 10 times the temperature of the average surface on Earth.
