Alarm and event analysis has long been used for improving process operation. However since alarms are usually generated and displayed based on physical equipment, alarm analysis has been difficult to perform on a batch basis.
In this paper, we focus on the interrelation of alarm/message notification and operator reaction in a batch process and analyze them systematically according to S88.01 Models and Terminology. Balance patterns of alarm/message notification and operator reactions are visually analyzed. Batch based analysis is done by grouping and filtering alarm and event data by master recipe, procedural hierarchy, and batch unit. This makes it easy to find and improve spurious alarms and inefficient operator habits.
In a brief experience in a pharmaceutical plant, spurious alarms have been reduced by approximately 30% and smoother operation procedures have been implemented.

Personnel safety in heavy industries such as metals, mining and mineral processing is of paramount priority. This paper discusses the value proposition of having Citect possess the ability to deliver in real time, information about personnel that are present at or around the process that is currently being viewed on screen. Although the main driver is around safety, there are also potential benefits from a maintenance and support perspective.
How do we choose the correct level of automation for a specific process area within the production facility? How does that facility drive a migration of its control systems to meet increasing business requirements while taking into account very real constraints around skills levels, existing equipment configuration and materials availability?
These are very real questions confronting all of us today irrespective of how basic or advanced our manufacturing facilities are. This paper will present the concept of simple maturity models with regard to manufacturing control systems. It will illustrate the use of the concept through the typical stages of brewing control system complexity found within a brewing process area from the completely manual to the fully automated configurations. It will further explore the typical business drivers which would require the move from one level to the next as well as the impacted factors to be addressed when driving a migration of the control system. Relevant international standards like S95 and S88 will also be put into context as helpful models and terminology in support of the business needs of SABMiller.
Business drivers to improve performance, such as supply chain performance and operational effectiveness, require that integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and shop-floor systems is considered. Many manufacturing companies have implemented the SAP R/3 ERP system, supporting core business processes including financials, sales, distribution and so on. The manufacturing processes may be controlled by a combination of automatic control equipment and human operators.
SAP R/3 supports production planning functionality in its PP (standard production planning) module and sub-modules PP-PI (production planning for the process industries), PP-REP (repetitive manufacturing) and PP-Kanban. These modules support the exchange of data with external systems. However, the technology issues associated with such data exchange are part of a broader set of challenges that an integration project must address if the intended business benefits are to be obtained.
This paper examines a business-driven approach to integration and explores recent project experience integrating shop-floor systems with the PP and PP-PI modules.

The suppressor to protect a specific point upon an electrical distribution system must be selected accordingly to its physical location.
The sole function of a quality surge suppressor is to protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient overvoltages that are present on AC power circuits. It is irrelevant whether these overvoltages are generated by lightning activity or are induced upon the AC power lines by utility grid switching, power factor correction actions, power cycling of inductive loads, or from other sources. A quality surge suppressor must limit transient overvoltages to values that do not surpass the AC sine wave peak by more than 30% as it initially absorbs intense amounts of transient energy. The suppressor must immediately respond to transients before they reach their uppermost voltage values. Suppressor performance should not deviate or degrade with use when called upon to divert extreme levels of transient current.
Industrial automation is no longer limited by the walls of a production facility. More and more automation is being handled via remote communication, whether it's from the office or from the comfort of your own home. Today's PLCs give you the ability to access your control system to handle such tasks as monitoring via a website to determine the condition of a machine or check other statistics. With the latest PLC technology, almost anything that can be accomplished next to the machine can be accomplished wherever there is an Internet connection.
This whitepaper talks about how today Ethernet-based fieldbus systems perform basic task and so much more.
As Ethernet continues to gain momentum in the industrial automation market, it's changing the way control engineers utilize their fieldbus systems. In the past, fieldbus networks were considered one-dimensional - they performed one task and did it very well - transferring process data between networked devices in a fast and deterministic manner. Usually these devices were on a local segment, isolated from higher-level networks. Nowadays, Ethernet-based fieldbus systems perform this basic task and so much more. With industrial protocols like Modbus/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFInet process data is sent over standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet hardware. No longer are users forced to buy proprietary fieldbus components from a handful of vendors.
Investments in process control systems will claim a large percentage of capital investments in modern manufacturing facilities. In order to maximize return on these investments, automation concepts must be developed at the early stages of the project and detailed in parallel with the process, equipment, and facility components as the engineering work progresses. However, it is difficult to illustrate control strategies for complex batch operations on PFDs and P&IDs, therefore the control system Functional Specification must come to life early and be used more effectively as a living document which is developed together with the process design.
This paper presents a case study on the application of S88.01 in the design of a multi-product biotech manufacturing facility, where flexibility, modularity, and CGMP compliance were major objectives. It shows how the models presented in the standard can be applied to develop automation concepts, which are defined in a Functional Specification that supports effective review and input by all members of the project team. This approach ensures that the automation strategy meets the project objectives, and that important concepts are not lost or mistranslated in the transition from concept through detailed design and final implementation.
The S88.01 rule is today a well accepted standard all over the world: all qualified engineers involved in the design of a batch control system are getting familiar with the terminology and models therein described. The focus is now on the implementation. As a matter of fact, the S88.01 standard is not a prescriptive guideline. This means that engineers must define, for each project, which documents are to be produced, by whom and with which formalisms.
The operations and manufacture of biopharmaceuticals is a complex process combining the capabilities of multiple systems that extend the boundaries of batch processing. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) receives information from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and creates the necessary production orders, maintains material tracking/genealogy and coordinates key manual activities. The automated batch control system sequences the phases, controls the devices and captures the necessary history. These systems come together in the operation of Biopharmaceutical production plants, which require a very specific architecture that leverages standard batch products that are tightly integrated with MES capabilities. This is driven by the upstream and downstream processing specifications of such plants, the detailed compliance requirements and the benefits achieved in maximizing automated functionality. This paper explores the unique requirements of batch manufacturing in the biopharmaceutical environment.
Changing market conditions are forcing batch-manufacturing facilities to modify the way they conduct business. The demand for software and hardware vendors to provide a higher level of batch automation is increasing. This demand is being fueled by a shortage of knowledge-workers coupled with the demand for flexible manufacturing environments. Industry standards for software and batch-control are emerging rapidly. These standards are helping to improve the interconnectivity of many products.
E-commerce will be the area for growth during this decade. Many companies are already buying and selling products through business-to-business portals on the Internet. The ability for a company to respond to ever changing manufacturing demands will determine their success or failure in the future.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss these business trends along with the impact of new standards on the batch industry. The paper describes several examples of companies that have been able to leverage infrastructure investments while successfully applying these emerging standards.

The upgrade of an existing operational plant to a new control system can be full of uncertainties, especially in the areas of operability, downtime, and benefit. Cabot Corporation recently upgraded their Treated Silica operations in Tuscola, Illinois to Batch software, new PLC processors, and an upgrade of the existing HMI's to the latest version of the vendors software. The previous system was using older PLC's with HMIs in a semi-automatic configuration. The system relied heavily on the operators to make critical batch decisions and mechanical equipment adjustments. Cabot utilized the services of a batch software provider/developer, who developed the new system using S88 standards. The system started up with minimal downtime and has delivered as promised.
The Units have seen as much as 30% increased throughput, production record keeping has become more accurate, and the product has become more consistent. These gains were achieved by the automation of a great majority of the operators former manual tasks, which included the use of batching technology and the addition of more automation equipment in the field. Additionally, to speed production and fulfill Cabot's production needs for greater throughput, recipe entry onto the batch list is now handled using specialized campaign software.

Traditional process models typically view a transfer line between Units either as a physical extension of the batching vessel or as a shared equipment module. The valves in the transfer line are then convenient places to establish the boundary of the upstream or downstream Unit.
The benefits of applying the S88.01 standard have been well proven in the industry, although most users have only scratched the surface on achieving these benefits. Some of this dilemma can be attributed to poor application of the standard by users; much can be traced to deficiencies in current tools that are available to the user. The S88.01 batch control standard has been around for five years. Ample time has been available to allow the appropriate tools to be developed that will allow users to take full advantage of the S88.01 standard. Most tools still do not provide enough needed features and flexibility. This paper will discuss ways of improving user application of the S88.01 standard and some of the deficiencies of currently available tools.

BLACKFOOT â€” Two Blackfoot businesses on South Broadway were burglarized Friday night or Saturday morning.
Royal Cleaners, 733 S. Broadway, reported that someone forced entry into the business and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from the register.
Tanglez Hair & Nail Salon also reported that items were taken from the business at its new location at 207 S. Broadway. There was no forced entry.
IDAHO FALLS â€”Â Even the weather honored U.S. Army Sgt. Ryan David Sharp at his funeral Monday. It was balmy and bright.
Sharp, age 28, died Saturday, Dec. 3, at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, from injuries suffered while on a military mission in Afghanistan's Kandahar province as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sharp was carrying a fallen soldier back to the safety of the company stronghold when he was hit by a improvised explosive device (IED). He lived 12 days before succumbing to his injuries.

Plant hormones have a plethora of functions in control of plant development, stress response, and primary metabolism, including nutrient homeostasis. In the plant nutrition, the interplay of hormones with responses to nitrate and phosphate deficiency is well described, but relatively little is known about the interaction between phytohormones and regulation of sulfur metabolism. As for other nutrients, sulfate deficiency results in modulation of root architecture, where hormones are expected to play an important role. Accordingly, sulfate deficiency induces genes involved in metabolism of tryptophane and auxin. Also jasmonate biosynthesis is induced, pointing to the need of increase the defense capabilities of the plants when sulfur is limiting. However, hormones affect also sulfate uptake and assimilation. The pathway is coordinately induced by jasmonate and the key enzyme, adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate reductase, is additionally regulated by ethylene, abscisic acid, nitric oxid, and other phytohormones. Perhaps the most intriguing link between hormones and sulfate assimilation is the fact that the main regulator of the response to sulfate starvation, SULFATE LIMITATION1 (SLIM1) belongs to the family of ethylene related transcription factors. We will review the current knowledge of interplay between phytohormones and control of sulfur metabolism and discuss the main open questions.

Monday night's debate, which will take place at 9 p.m. in Boca Raton, Fla., will focus on foreign affairs. Previous debates have included questions on foreign and domestic policy issues.
"[T]his was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal," says Obama in the video, a reference to climate change.
The 60-second ad then shows short television news clips about tension with Israel, escalating violence in Syria and a comment to then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev caught on an live microphone.
The Romney team concludes that Obama's foreign policy has "weakened" the standing of the United States around the world and left allies feeling isolated.
"At the 2008 presidential debates, Candidate Obama promised to implement a foreign policy that would protect our interests and allies abroad. But four years later, America stands weakened around the world, with our safety threatened, our allies increasingly isolated, and hostile nations emboldened," Romney campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Team Obama charged Romney with failing the "commander-in-chief test." A new television ad, released Monday, touts the drawdown of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and notes Romney's criticism of the troop strategy.
"A president has no higher responsibility than protecting our nation and its people, and Mitt Romney has failed to share any specifics about how he will rise to this challenge. On the most important foreign policy issues of our time: taking the fight to al-Qaeda, ending the war in Afghanistan, preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, strengthening our international alliances, and standing up to China, Mitt Romney consistently dodges the questions, offering bluster instead of substance," said a text statement released with the Obama video.

Gräfenstein Castle was built by the Saarbrücken counts, who had lost their fortress and were in need of a new one. Evidence for the exact date of the castle's building does not exist although the earliest record dates to a 1237 deed of partition by the counts of Leiningen. But from the castle's design and materials it can be deduced that it was built sometime between 1150 and 1200. Another clue is in the date of the restoration of the stone fortress, which took place in 1168, and coincides with first construction work on Gräfenstein Castle. The central element of the site, with its bergfried and palas probably dates to the 12th century and thus goes back to the Hohenstaufen era. The upper part of the castle was built on a rock shelf 12 metres high. The building's highlight is the peculiar seven-sided tower.
Possession of Gräfenstein was first given to the younger counts of the von Leiningen family. The House of Leiningen was related to the von Saarbrücken counts. The castle was built primarily for protection. It lies on the intersection of the Diocese of Worms, Speyer and Metz. The boundaries of these places were contiguous with that of Gräfenstein's, so the castle's main function was to maintain a hold on the uncertain borders. So was the protection of the surrounding forests and villages.
In 1317 the castle went into the possession of the collateral Leiningen-Dagsburg line. By 1367 they had to sell 7/8 of the estate to Prince Elector, Rupert I of the Palatinate. Through marriage, Gräfenstein went in 1421 to the Counts of Leiningen-Hardenburg. They had the castle expanded, particularly the lower ward.
The castle was first destroyed in 1525 during the German Peasants' War. Rebuilding work began in 1535 and, in 1540, the castle was sold by its owner, Count Palatine Johann von Simmern to the Count Palatine, Rupert, who used it from then on as his new residence and also introduced the Reformation locally. Rupert had been born in 1506 in Zweibrücken and died at Gräfenstein Castle on 28 July 1544.
Thereafter the castle continued to change hands, until in 1570 it was transferred, together with its associated villages, to Badenian ownership (Margraviate of Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach). In 1635, during the Thirty Years' War, the castle was razed by fire and became unusable for a long time. In 1771, when the rule of the Counts of Baden-Baden ended, ownership of the castle passed into the hands of the government of Baden-Durlach. They held the castle until the French Revolution. The castle had at this point reached the crest of its glory, and after that it fell into dereliction.
In spite of that the fortification is relatively well preserved. The first conservation measures on the ruins were carried out in 1909/10 and 1936/37. And from 1978 to 1986 the state of Rhineland-Palatinate had the ruins comprehensively restored at some cost.
Gräfenstein is the only castle in Germany with a heptagonal keep or bergfried. This may still be climbed today up a narrow spiral staircase. The shape of the tower is based on a combination of an octagon and a triangle. Whilst on a pentagonal tower, a triangular point is added to the rectangular main body on the side facing the enemy, in the case of Gräfenstein two shoulders of the octagon have been extended into a point. Another feature is the fact that the bergfried at Gräfenstein is not oriented in the direction of an attack, because the castle stands on a conical hill with steep drops on all sides. This underscores the symbolism of military architecture, which was at on an equal footing with funcionality in the High Middle Ages. The ground-level entrance was not added until more recent times.References:
Roman Walls of Lugo are an exceptional architectural, archaeological and constructive legacy of Roman engineering, dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The Walls are built of internal and external stone facings of slate with some granite, with a core filling of a conglomerate of slate slabs and worked stone pieces from Roman buildings, interlocked with lime mortar.
Their total length of 2117 m in the shape of an oblong rectangle occupies an area of 1.68 ha. Their height varies between 8 and 10 m, with a width of 4.2 m, reaching 7 m in some specific points. The walls still contain 85 external towers, 10 gates (five of which are original and five that were opened in modern times), four staircases and two ramps providing access to the walkway along the top of the walls, one of which is internal and the other external. Each tower contained access stairs leading from the intervallum to the wall walk of town wall, of which a total of 21 have been discovered to date.
The defences of Lugo are the most complete and best preserved example of Roman military architecture in the Western Roman Empire.
Despite the renovation work carried out, the walls conserve their original layout and the construction features associated with their defensive purpose, with walls, battlements, towers, fortifications, both modern and original gates and stairways, and a moat.
Since they were built, the walls have defined the layout and growth of the city, which was declared a Historical-Artistic Ensemble in 1973, forming a part of it and becoming an emblematic structure that can be freely accessed to walk along. The local inhabitants and visitors alike have used them as an area for enjoyment and as a part of urban life for centuries.
The fortifications were added to UNESCO"s World Heritage List in late 2000 and are a popular tourist attraction.

Review by twrkit
"A different kind of Civ game... In some people's eyes, the best kind"
The Civilization series has always involved playing through from mankind's ancient times to its modern times, and taking a little glimpse of what might be. But who would ever have imagined, a game that is focused on predicting mankind's possible future? Sid Meier... that's who!
Just a little overview about the Alpha Centauri story, for it is a story that MUST be told: Colonists from earth have boarded a ship destined for a distant planet in the Alpha Centauri star system. Suddenly, an emergency arises and the colonists are forced to split up into seven groups and make an emergency landing on the planet. The groups have not split up into groups according to race, but rather ideology...
An interesting fact: Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to our Sun. It is also one of the relatively few places in the Milky Way (our galaxy) that we could perhaps live in.
You start out with a colony pod to found your first new city. All of the factions have different agendas in mind, giving you bonuses depending on which faction you choose to play through.
The factions: All of the factions that are available to you have distinct personalities and are thought out very well. Role-playing through each faction really is a unique experience. The factions include preservationists, the technology-minded, a hive-like society, the monopoly-minded, religious fanatics, military-enthusiasts and peacekeepers.
You will have no contact with the other factions until you have met them, but you are able to contact them anytime through the commlink, after you have spoken with them (unless they turn off their commlink to you).
Terraforming: You are able to terraform the planet, which means you can rearrange the planet's face to suit your civilization's needs (actually you will have to on a planet like this). You will be able to construct farms, roads, solar collectors, sensor arrays, mine, remove fungus (part of the planet's makeup), plant forests etc.
Future technologies: The technology-tree is amazing - predicting the kinds of technologies mankind will have acquired given the situation and isolation from their earth-cousins. All of these technologies include improvements in exploration, colonization, population growth, military applications, wealth, cities, and pure knowledge.
The battles: Battles are just as they were in previous Civilization games, but with a futuristic twist. This time around you will not be fighting with spearmen or modern-day weapons. You will be fighting your wars with technologically-advanced infantry, vehicles, ships, copters, aircraft and missiles.
For those of you who are not familiar with the game interface: You play the game in turns. During these turns you can construct city improvements, train units, move units according to their movement rate, perform unit actions, and attack opponents and their settlements. You are still able to fight through espionage as well, just like in the previous Civ games.
Customizing Units?: Yes in SMAC you are able to customize a unit's function (military or otherwise), weapon, armor, special abilities and power source. So if for example, you need a unit that doesn't require much defense you can just give it little or no armor, or if you need a unit just to defend your cities and not necessarily conquer your opponents you would give them good armor, but not good weapons.
This sort of customization gives you control over your units, allowing for specific tasks to be done. For example, you might need a unit to do something, yet you need this unit fast. By taking away the unit's armor etc. it will get trained faster and will get rid of unnecessary armor that would have taken longer when you don't really need good armor for that unit. Thus, there is not just that one type of unit - there are variations.
A real life example would be soldiers who do not wear much armor because they are specialized in being able to move fast. Yet some soldiers are heavily armored because they will be taking the most damage. The special abilities are also great for specializing units to your desire.
As you proceed through the game, the story about the Planet's state and its ecosystem progresses and starts to affect your game. This is part of what makes Alpha Centauri.... the story!
The in-game graphics are just right. The landscape art is good, and the units are done reasonably well. When the units are destroyed they will explode. It would have been great if you could see the buildings in your cities just like in the previous Civs, but that might have something to do with it being set in the future. It would be a lot harder to design the cities. Still, when your cities grow they expand and change form. It's always nice to see change in videogames.
The project videos will sometimes contain computer-generated graphics, still pictures and real life footage, and all convey their messages very well. The project videos are philosophical and are always a treat to watch.
The music is different for each faction and displays the characteristics of that particular faction. The additional music sounds great. The sound of mindworms attacking is appropriately eerie. The sound of units attacking is good and will keep you satisfied. The project videos are narrated insightfully and convincingly. You will often hear the voices of the other factions' leaders when you complete research (which you can grow quite fond of if you know the other factions well enough). All the other sound effects have a nice futuristic theme to them.
Replay value: 8/10
You can role-play each faction's personality or just try their bonuses out for yourself. Check the date of my review... I still play it! There is really no other game like it. Many people wish for a sequel to this beautiful, beautiful game but I mean what else needs to be done? Actually they could make it so you can see your city's structures, and make it that you are on another empty planet. This time making contact with alien races who wish to fight you for control of it. Imagine a futuristic city? Well they have actually made wallpapers that give a general idea of what each faction's cities would look like. That could be the start of an exciting sequel. We can only hope...
This is a must-have for anyone who likes turn-based strategy and/or has played the previous civilization games. It is also a must-try RIGHT NOW (lol) for anyone who is interested in the future, technology or Science Fiction. This is undoubtedly one of Sid Meier's greatest creations.

The importance of relationships and helping neighbors in need was the focus of the fourth annual #GivingTuesdayatBonas, where just shy of $78,000 was raised for St. Bonaventure University’s Franciscan Center for Social Concern (FCSC).
More than 550 donors contributed to the online crowdfunding event, surpassing the original goal of $50,000 early in the effort.
All proceeds support the FCSC’s outreach ministries, allowing students to continue a variety of service work that includes providing nourishment and fellowship at the Warming House; serving as role models for local children through Bona Buddies; visiting with elders in nursing homes through Silver Wolves; helping care for homeless animals at the SPCA; offering a wide variety of fresh and frozen food through the Food Pantry; and learning about sustainable agriculture and service with the Farm to Table program.
“We are so humbled and grateful for the outpouring of support,” said Alice Miller Nation, director of the FCSC. “Every dollar donated to #GivingTuesdayatBonas will create opportunities for students to put their Franciscan values to work in the local community.”
As excitement built throughout the month leading up to the event, students took time to share how the FCSC has transformed their lives.
Adam Burlingham, a senior environmental studies major from Newbury, Ohio, spent this past summer planting and harvesting food during the morning hours at Canticle Farm, a ministry of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany. He spent his afternoons at the Warming House, preparing meals and getting to know the guests.
“I’ve learned so many useful skills and have made connections that I’ll probably keep for the rest of my life,” Burlingham said, adding that his volunteer work “has been extremely beneficial in making me a better person.”
Bridget O’Hern, a senior health and society major who volunteers at the SBU Food Pantry, has realized a sense of accomplishment through her time with the FCSC.
“I'm really proud to be part of this organization,” said O’Hern. “I feel like I'm contributing to the entire St. Bonaventure community. Just knowing that the food pantry is open and accessible to everyone is amazing.”
For more information about the FCSC or to volunteer, please contact Alice Miller Nation at firstname.lastname@example.org or (716) 375-7813. To make a donation, please visit www.sbu.edu/donate.

It was decades ago when author Thomas Fox Averill heard the song "Tennessee Stud" by Jimmie Driftwood. He enjoyed the lyrical story of courtship, love, and fugitive life so much, that he first used the song as a lullaby for his children, then decided to write a novel about it. Rode was chosen as the 2012 Outstanding Western Novel by the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma. Averill describes his unique methods of research and how his personal interests lead to his fiction, which also include his earlier novels, Secrets of the Tsil Café and The Slow Air of Ewan McPherson, and three collections of short stories.

Perth is a city in Perthshire, Scotland, which lies on the banks of River Tay to the north eastern fringe of Central Scotland. Perth is the administrative centre of Perthshire, and is popularly referred to as The Fair City, although its city status was revoked in the 1970s following local authority reforms. On 14th March 2012 it was decided to restore city status to Perth to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II after many years of campaigning. The history of Perth goes back over 800 years when it was originally founded as Saint John's Town - the name is still used for the Perth's professional football (soccer) team St. Johnstone - and the adjoining town of Scone was a former capital city of Scotland. Today it is perhaps best known for giving its name to the Western Australian city of Perth. (less...) (more...)

A few years ago this stone was finally returned to Scotland and now resides in Edinburgh Castle.

Cherie Adkins Coloring, 2018-12-08 17:09:17. While children don't have the exact same kinds of stress an adult has, coloring is an activity that's calming to them. When they sit for long coloring pages to print, it helps the child keep his on one thing and will certainly develop his overall concentration level as time goes on. The little one drops the hat at somebody's feet. The children, and numerous adults, will also delight in putting together a gingerbread residence. Coloring football boy, the principal idea of football stays the exact same. It is possible to even ask the kids to produce cupcake moulds and decorate it with their favourite frosting. Trinket toys are a great way to continue to keep kids entertained and happy.

We climb the ladder to our roof tent for another night of camping on top of the car. Better be in time for more elephant and perhaps even giraffe? We are ready to start shooting elephants. On film obviously. We cross the campsite to explore the surrounding nature and as the dirt road becomes smaller, we have to dodge the prickly branches of acacia trees that swing into the sides of the car as we pass them.
We are lifted from our chairs by the bumps and dips in the dirt road and the rambling sound of the jeep makes me wonder if we are not scaring away the elephants. Some ten minutes into our drive, a crackling sound comes from the board radio. Would someone have spotted the elephants already? Our guide informs us that the elephants have been at the waterhole in one of the nearby villages last night. And so we backtrack the road and leave the campsite in the other direction. We have never been so excited to see fresh kaka faeces. He himself however holds up the big brown ball, puts his finger in it and licks it off.

Luckily, our attention is quickly focused on another big thing. Round circles of around 20 cm in diameter are imprinted in the dry, red sand. We follow the footprints of a herd of elephants, hoping it will lead us to them. We are lucky to find a lead like this, as unlike the common African elephant that lives in Etosha and Kruger, the dwelling desert elephant only drinks once every three days.
The guide drives on with considerable speed and we are launched from our chairs to considerable heights. We continue dodging branches which makes the ride adventurous but also rather uncomfortable. But obviously, this is exactly the way we want our guide to drive. Anything to see those giants. And there they are… moving at even higher speed than we are.
A group of around fifteen elephants is crossing the valley towards the mountain in front of us.
I am surprised by their speedy movement. Are they on the run? We take some photos and then hop back into the jeep to hopefully see them coming down the hill on the other side of the mountain. Bouncing along the road, we excitedly scan the bush for a glimpse of one of the elephants. Suddenly they appear in our sight just some twenty metres away from us. Our guide zigzags through the foliage to keep up with them. The elephants reduce their speed to a leisurely walking pace as soon as they have crossed the hill.
We come to a halt in the valley to watch them on from a distance. They calmly flap their ears to cool themselves and the group splits up.
Our guide explains the elephants are now at ease because they feel safe on this side of the mountain. The elephants use their trunks to throw dust over themselves to keep their enormous bodies cool in the heat of the sun. And with that, we have the answer to the question we asked ourselves yesterday: their brownish colour is not the colour of their skin but the colour of the sand that they cover themselves with. In awe, we watch the giants and cannot help but wish to be a bit closer.
It is a good thing though that we leave the groups alone. When both groups of elephants start to move to the far side of the mountain, the show is over for us. Back at the campsite we swap the bumpy seat in the jeep for a comfortable sun chair at the swimming pool, built into the rocks just like all other campsite facilities that blend in well with the natural surroundings. We conclude the easy afternoon and evening with some star gazing from our own campsite and continue doing so from under our private open — air shower.www.chicagolandwidowed.org/modules/feather/the-changeling-the-daughters-of-england-book.php
Searching for the elusive desert-dwelling elephant: a desert safari in Damaraland, Namibia
When you visit the rock carvings in Twyfelfontein, you will most probably receive offers from locals that are willing to arrange a tour for you on the spot. We however decided to join the tour organized by Grootberg Lodge the more affordable Hoada campsite we stayed at some 20 km further north is also owned by Grootberg Lodge to have plenty of time and thus increase our chances of a sighting. You can book the tour in advance through their website or sign up upon your arrival.
Does include a very nice lunch :. The desert elephant is actually the same in terms of physical appearance as its relatives living in more habitable areas. Desert elephants do however differ in behaviour. Since the elephants are aware of the limited supply of trees as well, the destruction of trees commonly seen in elephant inhabited areas is very little in Damaraland. Unfortunately, no. The manager of the campsite we stayed at was not lucky enough to see any of the elephants when she joined the elephant tracking tour.

Evil Genius Beer Co., the Fishtown-based brewery that recently expanded to seven states along the East Coast, is gearing up for the Eagles' playoff run by bringing back a limited-release beer available for purchase all weekend long.
For fans looking for a Philly-centric way to get pumped before the Eagles face the New York Giants in the Divisional round on Saturday, Evil Genius is bringing back its Birds-themed Fly Like An Eagle IPA for as long as the team is in the playoffs. The water ice-inspired beer hasn't been released since the end of the Eagles' 2017 Super Bowl season, but back then, it had a cherry flavor.
This time, the brewery's concoction comes in two varieties, mango and blue raspberry. The IPA is brewed with vanilla and lactose along with more than 100 pounds of fresh mango puree and more than 15 gallons of blue raspberry slushy syrup, respectively. The delicate ale is 6.2% ABV and is available in four packs for $18 at Evil Genius' flagship location. As a bonus, the blue raspberry ale is bright green.
"Sports has become such a huge part of our business," said Trevor Hayward, co-founder of Evil Genius. "Our taproom hosts regular viewing parties for local teams and some of our most popular beers have been derived from the realm of athletics like 'There's No Crying in Baseball' and 'Trust the Process.'"
For the grand finale of football season, Evil Genius is releasing another IPA for fans to enjoy through this weekend's games. Playoffs?! takes its name from former Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Mora's infamous postgame rant in 2001, an iconic diatribe that has remained relevant for more than 20 years.
The full-bodied IPA is described by Hayward as a "creamsicle without the brain freeze," and features all-natural orange and vanilla flavors as well as Azaaca and Motueka hops at 7% ABV.
The new beer is available across Evil Genius' entire distribution footprint, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Rhode Island and Michigan.
The beer can be found at grocery stores and shops like Giant, Total Wine, Wegman's and Weis Markets. Playoffs?! is available in draft packages for bars and in six packs for consumers, with the average price around $11.99.
Those looking for other ways to celebrate can head over to the Comcast Building in Center City on Wednesday or the Acme at 19th Street and Oregon Avenue on Friday for a chance to try out Dietz and Watson's free "Bird Dogs" in green buns. Keep up with the official Eagles partner on Instagram to find more information about the playoff promotion.

The first Federal Population Census was taken in 1790 and has been taken every ten years since. Because of a 72-year restriction on access to the Census, the most recent year available is 1940. The 1950 Census will be released in 2022. The National Archives has the census schedules on microfilm available from 1790 to 1940. Family researchers generally find it most helpful to begin with the most current census and work backwards as a strategy for locating people in earlier generations.
