The COMFORT®-system: the airless dosage system for dispensing very sensitive liquid or semi-solid pharmaceutical as well as cosmetic formulations.
Like the 3K®-system, the COMFORT®-system permits avoiding any kind of preservatives, even after the product has been opened, as the special design of the system prevents contamination. Compared to the 3K®-system, the COMFORT®-system offers three additional advantages:
- 360° application: use of the product possible from any angle, even overhead
- Protection against oxidation by "airless" inner bag: use of very sensitive ingredients or solutions possible
- Suitable for viscous solutions and semi-solid forms (lotions & suspensions)
How exactly does the COMFORT® system work?
"Airless" literally means "without air" and indicates that the COMFORT®-system does not require pressure compensation during actuation. The vacuum that emerges, when the pump is actuated successively, folds the flexible inner bag, which also allows semi-solid, less fluid formulations to be dispensed. In order to ensure the protection against the entry of microbiological contaminants, the COMFORT®-system uses in addition to the tight-closing valve the oligodynamic effect of the surfaces at the outlet opening. This leads to a provable perfect protection of the preservative-free contents.
Depending on the area of application, the COMFORT®-system is available with a nasal, oral and pharyngeal, ear or dermal pump and, depending on the design, the product can be applied as a drop, spray jet or spray with different dosage quantities. The system can be combined with special in-liner plastic bottles in various sizes.
The COMFORT® pumps and the special in-liner bottles are filled after careful and validated sterilization under aseptic conditions and final assembly is tightly sealed.

The giraffe is a large African hoofed mammal belonging to the genus Giraffa. It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. Traditionally, giraffes have been thought of as one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. Most recently, researchers proposed dividing them into up to eight extant species due to new research into their mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements. Seven other extinct species of Giraffa are known from the fossil record.
The giraffe’s chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its spotted coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits, and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach.
Lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and African wild dogs may prey upon giraffes. Giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males, but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations. Males establish social hierarchies through “necking”, combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear sole responsibility for rearing the young.
The giraffe has intrigued various ancient and modern cultures for its peculiar appearance and has often been featured in paintings, books, and cartoons. It is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as vulnerable to extinction and has been extirpated from many parts of its former range. Giraffes are still found in numerous national parks and game reserves, but estimates as of 2016 indicate there are approximately 97,500 members of Giraffa in the wild. More than 1,600 were kept in zoos in 2010.
The name “giraffe” has its earliest known origins in the Arabic word zarāfah (زرافة), ultimately from Persian زُرنَاپَا (zurnāpā), a compound of زُرنَا (zurnā, “flute, zurna”) and پَا (pā, “leg”). In early Modern English, the spellings jarraf and ziraph were used, probably directly from the Arabic, and in Middle English jarraf and ziraph, gerfauntz. The Italian form giraffa arose in the 1590s. The modern English form developed around 1600 from the French girafe.
“Camelopard” /kəˈmɛləˌpɑːrd/ is an archaic English name for the giraffe; it derives from the Ancient Greek καμηλοπάρδαλις (kamēlopárdalis), from κάμηλος (kámēlos), “camel”, and πάρδαλις (párdalis), “leopard”, referring to its camel-like shape and leopard-like coloration.
The giraffe is one of only two living genera of the family Giraffidae in the order Artiodactyla, the other being the okapi. They are ruminants of the clade Pecora, along with Antilocapridae (pronghorns), Cervidae (deer), Bovidae (cattle, antelope, goats and sheep) and Moschidae (musk deer). A 2019 genome study (cladogram below) finds that Giraffidae are a sister taxon to Antilocapridae, with an estimated split of over 20 million years ago.
The family Giraffidae was once much more extensive, with over 10 fossil genera described. The elongation of the neck appears to have started early in the giraffe lineage. Comparisons between giraffes and their ancient relatives suggest vertebrae close to the skull lengthened earlier, followed by lengthening of vertebrae further down. One early giraffid ancestor was Canthumeryx, which has been dated variously to have lived, 17–15 mya or 18–14.3 mya, and whose deposits have been found in Libya. This animal resembled an antelope and had a medium-sized, lightly built body. Giraffokeryx appeared 15–12 mya on the Indian subcontinent and resembled an okapi or a small giraffe, and had a longer neck and similar ossicones. Giraffokeryx may have shared a clade with more massively built giraffids like Sivatherium and Bramatherium.
Giraffids like Palaeotragus, Shansitherium, and Samotherium appeared 14 mya and lived throughout Africa and Eurasia. These animals had broader skulls with reduced frontal cavities. Paleotragus resembled the okapi and may have been its ancestor. Others find that the okapi lineage diverged earlier, before Giraffokeryx. Samotherium was a particularly important transitional fossil in the giraffe lineage, as the length and structure of its cervical vertebrae were between those of a modern giraffe and an okapi, and its neck posture was likely similar to the former’s. Bohlinia, which first appeared in southeastern Europe and lived 9–7 mya, was likely a direct ancestor of the giraffe. Bohlinia closely resembled modern giraffes, having a long neck and legs and similar ossicones and dentition.
Bohlinia colonized China and northern India and produced the Giraffa, which, around, reached Africa. Climate changes led to the extinction of the Asian giraffes, while the African giraffes survived and radiated into new species. Living giraffes appear to have arisen around in eastern Africa during the Pleistocene. Some biologists suggest that modern giraffes descended from G. jumae; others find G. gracilis a more likely candidate. G. jumae was larger and more robust, while G. gracilis was smaller and more slender.
The changes from extensive forests to more open habitats, which began 8 mya, are believed to be the main driver for the evolution of giraffes. During this time, tropical plants disappeared and were replaced by arid C4 plants, and a dry savannah emerged across eastern and northern Africa and western India. Some researchers have hypothesized that this new habitat, coupled with a different diet, including acacia species, may have exposed giraffe ancestors to toxins that caused higher mutation rates and a higher rate of evolution. The coat patterns of modern giraffes may also have coincided with these habitat changes. Asian giraffes are hypothesized to have had more okapi-like colorations.
The giraffe genome is around 2.9 billion base pairs in length, compared to the 3.3 billion base pairs of the okapi. Of the proteins in giraffe and okapi genes, 19.4% are identical. The divergence of giraffe and okapi lineages dates to around 11.5 mya. A small group of regulatory genes in the giraffe appears to be responsible for the animal’s height and associated circulatory adaptations.
Species and subspecies
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) currently recognizes only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies.
Carl Linnaeus originally classified living giraffes as one species in 1758. He gave it the binomial name Cervus camelopardalis. Mathurin Jacques Brisson coined the generic name Giraffa in 1762. During the 1900s, various taxonomies with two or three species were proposed. A 2007 study on the genetics of giraffes using mitochondrial DNA suggested at least six lineages could be recognized as species. A 2011 study using detailed analyses of the morphology of giraffes, and application of the phylogenetic species concept, described eight species of living giraffes. A 2016 study also concluded that living giraffes consist of multiple species. The researchers suggested the existence of four species, which have not exchanged genetic information between each other for 1 to 2 million years.
A 2020 study showed that depending on the method chosen, different taxonomic hypotheses recognizing from two to six species can be considered for the genus Giraffa. That study also found that multi-species coalescent methods can lead to taxonomic over-splitting, as those methods delimit geographic structures rather than species. The three-species hypothesis, which recognizes G. camelopardalis, G. giraffa, and G. tippelskirchi, is highly supported by phylogenetic analyses and also corroborated by most population genetic and multi-species coalescent analyses. A 2021 whole genome sequencing study suggests the existence of four distinct species and seven subspecies.
The cladogram below shows the phylogenetic relationship between the four proposed species and seven subspecies based on the genome analysis. Note the eight lineages correspond to eight of the traditional subspecies in the one-species hypothesis. The Rothschild giraffe is subsumed into G. camelopardalis camelopardalis.
Fully grown giraffes stand 4.3–5.7 m (14–19 ft) tall, with males taller than females. The average weight is 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) for an adult male and 828 kg (1,825 lb) for an adult female. Despite its long neck and legs, its body is relatively short. The skin is mostly gray, or tan, and can reach a thickness of 20 mm (0.79 in). The 80–100 cm (31–39 in) long tail ends in a long, dark tuft of hair and is used as a defense against insects.
The coat has dark blotches or patches, which can be orange, chestnut, brown, or nearly black, surrounded by light hair, usually white or cream-colored. Male giraffes become darker as they grow old. The coat pattern has been claimed to serve as camouflage in the light and shade patterns of savannah woodlands. When standing among trees and bushes, they are hard to see even a few meters distance. However, adult giraffes move about to gain the best view of an approaching predator, relying on their size and ability to defend themselves rather than on camouflage, which may be more important for calves. Each giraffe has a unique coat pattern. Calves inherit some coat pattern traits from their mothers, and variation in some spot traits is correlated with calf survival. The skin under the blotches may regulate the animal’s body temperature, being sites for complex blood vessel systems and large sweat glands.
The fur may give the animal chemical defense, as its parasite repellents give it a characteristic scent. At least 11 main aromatic chemicals are in the fur, although indole and 3-methylindole are responsible for most of the smell. Because males have a stronger odor than females, it may also have a sexual function.
Habitat and feeding
Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and open woodlands. They prefer areas dominated by Acacieae, Commiphora, Combretum, and Terminalia trees over Brachystegia which are more densely spaced. The Angolan giraffe can be found in desert environments. Giraffes browse on the twigs of trees, preferring those of the subfamily Acacieae and the genera Commiphora and Terminalia, which are important sources of calcium and protein to sustain the giraffe’s growth rate. They also feed on shrubs, grass, and fruit. A giraffe eats around 34 kg (75 lb) of plant matter daily. When stressed, giraffes may chew on large branches, stripping them of bark. Giraffes are also recorded to chew old bones.
During the wet season, food is abundant and giraffes are more spread out, while during the dry season, they gather around the remaining evergreen trees and bushes. Mothers tend to feed in open areas, presumably to make it easier to detect predators, although this may reduce their feeding efficiency. As a ruminant, the giraffe first chews its food, then swallows it for processing, and then visibly passes the half-digested cud up the neck and back into the mouth to chew again. The giraffe requires less food than many other herbivores because the foliage it eats has more concentrated nutrients and it has a more efficient digestive system. The animal’s feces come in the form of small pellets. When it has access to water, a giraffe will go no more than three days without drinking.
Giraffes have a great effect on the trees that they feed on, delaying the growth of young trees for some years and giving “waistlines” to too-tall trees. Feeding is at its highest during the first and last hours of daytime. Between these hours, giraffes mostly stand and ruminate. Rumination is the dominant activity during the night when it is mostly done lying down.

In this paper we investigate quaternary combined amplitude- and differential binary phase-shift keying (ASK-DPSK) and 8-ary combined amplitude- and differential quadrature phase-shift keying (ASK-DQPSK) at a bit rate of 40Gbit/s. For both formats, optimal values for amplitude ratios of the signal points and electrical and optical receiver bandwidths are given. Required optical signal-to-noise ratios (OSNR) at the receivers for bit error probabilities of 10^(-9) and chromatic dispersion tolerances are compared to amplitude-shift keying (ASK), binary differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) and quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK). For our numerical investigations we use a semi-analytical method for bit error probability computations.
This paper presents a new optical Minimum-Shift Keying (MSK) modulation scheme with high spectral efficiency. The transmitter is realized in an Offset-Quaternary Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) arrangement. The receiver uses a delay & add filter (DAF) and photodiodes for direct detection. An MSK precoder for the transmitter is derived.

It's better to travel... as they say. So we decided to put this theory to the test on our holiday by taking seven hours on six modes of transport from west London to St Mawes in south west Cornwall. Now where could we have got to in seven hours, New York, Canada, Barbados?
St Mawes, on the Roseland Peninsula, was more or less a pin on the map choice. Actually, knowing nothing about St Mawes, it was a dog friendly choice.
A bus, then a tube took us to Paddington station where we put our feet up for five hours to Truro, travelling first class. Well, we had to make sure that Dylan, our fox terrier could travel in maximum comfort. He is used to a certain style.
Leaving the romance of Paddington Station, we were soon in leafy Berkshire and then crossed the Kennet and Avon Canal where we spotted familiar narrow boats. Travelling on through Wiltshire and Somerset, it was quite a smug feeling to watch motorists queuing on the M5. The train follows the River Exe and onto Dawlish Warren in Devon where we saw boats bobbing along on the water. The sea spray came up to meet us. This section of the line had been washed away in the storms of January 2014 but is now thankfully restored.
A change of train at Truro was interesting as we then travelled in the classless coach with, it sounded like, mainly locals using this one track Maritime Line.
So we finally arrived in Falmouth and walked to the ferry which would take us on our last leg of the journey. It was a bright and breezy evening. And 20 minutes later we had our first sight of the delightful understated resort of St Mawes. Houses lining the sea front painted in different pastel shades. We were a bit hazy as to the location of our accommodation, but by chance met the daughter of the household on the ferry. She phoned ahead and our hosts kindly met us at the quay.
We had arrived on St Mawes' Day, a culmination of Regatta Week with live music and cheap beer at the quayside. So we soon joined in the fun.
Dylan, the usual show stopper attracted enough strangers to fill us in on local politics. Property prices here are very high and second homes are owned by the likes of Rowan Atkinson and Bill Nighy. Wealthy Londoners also base themselves here 'for the summer and return at New Year' according to one local. He wasn't very complimentary about their spending prowess, quoting that 'one grandfather had given his 17 year old grandson a Porsche for his birthday'. This took place outside one of the pubs the previous evening. Always a debate. The second home owners are boosting the local economy in the holiday seasons, but the quiet times are left to locals who can't keep the pubs/hotels going. But where is the affordable housing? Another debate.
After a day out in Falmouth courtesy of that ferry again, I could quite see the attraction of arriving back at St Mawes. It has a quaint, relaxed air about it. Basic shops are available with the bonus of a great deli and take away fish and chips. Small galleries abound. And Dylan loved his swims and his Cornish ice cream. There is nothing commercialised here. This is a sailing community. Lots of yachts moored off on buoys. It seemed like a gentle way of life.
The ferries are essential for exploring the area. The 12 person ferry to Place on the River Fal led us to the start of a coastal walk. Place House, a former monastery and a very grand imposing building greeted us as we arrived.
The Roseland peninsula is very special. We enjoyed a six mile circular walk along the coast to St Just in Roseland taking a break for a cream tea before heading back to St Mawes on footpaths set back from the sea.
Being without a car can be challenging here. We tried a bus journey to Portscatho one day. Since they only run every two hours, it's essential to have a timetable and keep an eye on your watch. Well worth it though. A beautiful village with a golden sandy beach. And another breathtaking coastal path walk.
So our week sped by and we found ourselves on the Falmouth Ferry once more, ready to start our long journey back to London. I would definitely recommend this way of travelling. Forget the traffic jams, sit back in comfort and enjoy the beautiful views.

Studies in Old Prussian remedies the lack of a single source (volume) which critically surveys the entire literature devoted to the subject since the end of World War II. It provides a thorough review of the literature of the origin and history of the Old Prussian people as well as comprehensive review of the recent literature devoted to the morphology and phonology of the language. As a result, this volume has a unique value to students of Old Prussian.Of great importance is the inclusion of a critical analysis of the newly discovered Basel epigram and the new version of Simon Grunau's vocabulary.

Born in Reims, France, Hugo Mapelli has developed a passion for photography at a young age, confessing to a “bad habit” of taking apart his father’s cameras to understand how they worked. Initially pursuing a career in marketing with photography as a hobby, it was when he met his wife that he started to believe in his capabilities as a photographer. He quit his job, sold his apartment and car and started interning at Studio Astre in Paris. He assisted Anne Leibovitz, Ellen Von Unwerth, Max Vadukul amongst others and was Peter Lindbergh's assistant for 8 years. Hugo also worked on video projects with Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent and then at Celine. His colourful, authentic and exploratory style is grounded in curiosity and boundless appreciation for the craft and for processes hidden behind the image.
With a desire to create his own photographic language through colour and experimentation, he set up his own darkroom in 2019. Thus he masters the silver process from development to printing in a timeframe that meets the constraints of his clients such as Harrods, Chanel, Chloé, Dom Pérignon, Hermès, EERA, Vogue, Neous and Marsèll.

Watch JIM MARTIN play 'We Care A Lot' with INFECTIOUS GROOVES
Big Sick and Ugly ex-Faith No More guitarist has sadly been absent for some time now. The last we saw of Jim Martin was in 2014 when he joined the ranks of Infectious Grooves for a one off show at Whiskey A Go Go.
However on November 17 at Espaço das Américas in São Paulo Infectious Grooves reunited for a special show celebrating 34 years of the Brazilian radio station 89 A Rádio Rock. Jim again filling in for original guitarist Adam Siegel. Also onstage were Mike Muir, Robert Trujillo, Dean Pleasants and Brooks Wackerman, plus a guest appearance from Trujillo's son Ty.
In the encore the ensemble treated us to a rendition of We Care A Lot, which would be the first time Jim had played the song live since his exit from FNM in 1993. Friend of our page and Faith No More fan Eduardo Figueiredo captured the song on video.
The band shared a video of their rehearsals earlier on in the week.
There are some great photos of Jim off and onstage with the band check them out below.

We love when a celebrity collaboration makes sense – like when Rihanna first teamed up with Puma to give it her bad girl street-style edge it clearly needed. So when MAKE UP FOR EVER first announced a collection of performance-ready makeup with Charli XCX, we knew we were in for a good one.
First things first: the popular Aqua line – so named for its waterproof qualities – will be replaced with Aqua XL, an obvious ode to taking the limits of waterproof makeup and performance makeup to new levels. The first in this revamped range – the Aqua XL Eye Pencil, specially designed for all performers’ needs. The new waterproof formula ensures comfortable long wear that stays sweat-proof and smudge-proof throughout the day, so you won’t even need a touch-up. And for anyone who needs a rich colour payoff off- and onstage (we’re looking at you, dancers), the pencils are highly pigmented and provide a more intense colour than ever.
So, taking a leaf out of Charli XCX’s typically colourful makeup looks – whether it’s on her live tour or in a visually stunning music video – the Aqua XL Eye Pencil comes in 20 versatile shades. There’re classic staple shades like Satiny Taupe; and then there’s Iridescent Pop Purple for a flashy burst of colour. The collection includes a variety of finishes, from matte to satin to metallic, so there’s definitely something for everyone. And if you’ve already been a fan of MAKE UP FOR EVER’s line of Artist Shadows, you’ll be pleased to know that all the XL Eye Pencil shades are perfectly matched to the shadows – which makes flawless matching and blending that much easier.
Look sharp people; we foresee these electrifying pencils being a real game-changer in makeup routines.
MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Eye Pencil, $36, available at Sephora from 12 May 2016.

By facilitating the transportation of dirty tar sands fuels, Keystone would add 27.4 million metric tons of global warming pollution to our atmosphere per year. President Trump's executive order advancing the Keystone XL pipeline is definitely a step in the wrong direction. READ MORE.
Raleigh--In ten years, North Carolina has permanently protected more than 640,000 acres of parks, forests, farmlands, and such critical areas as Grandfather Mountain, Chimney Rock, and the banks of the Haw River. Yet, according to a new Environment North Carolina study, the state fell well short of a goal set by legislators and former Gov. Jim Hunt to reach the million-acre mark by December 31, 2009.
North Carolina’s signature woodlands, farmlands, and open spaces are disappearing at an alarming rate. If these trends continue, the state’s treasured natural areas will disappear as vast tracts of land are developed into urban areas in the next twenty years.

Are katanas illegal in the US?
North America (USA and Canada) Legally Katana are lumped in the same category as knives and governed by state rather than federal laws, though as with knives, a collector must be over 18 years old OR have their parents implicit permission to buy or own a Katana..
Why are katanas so fragile?
Traditional Tamahagane nihonto as pointed out are good blades made out of really bad steel sources. The folding process for most nihonto discards impurities from the source, and depending on the number of folds and quality of work can leave a very tough blade.
How much is a real katana from Japan?
Indeed, the starting real katana price for a bona fide sword made in Japan (called a “Nihonto” or “Shinken”, meaning “Japan sword” and “real sword” accordingly) is around US$4,000 – such as the one shown below which was made in 2015 and costs just a tad over $4,000. 486,000 yen or roughly US$4,100.
Why do Samurai carry 2 swords?
Samurai carried two swords, a main tachi or katana and a shorter wakizashi. Both together are collectively known as daishō . The wakizashi was used when the main katana was lost, for close-quarter combat and for ritual seppuku suicide. … Through an act called seppuku.
How many times is a katana folded?
This process, called the shita-kitae, is repeated from 8 to as many as 16 times. After 20 foldings, (220, or 1,048,576 individual layers), there is too much diffusion in the carbon content. The steel becomes almost homogeneous in this respect, and the act of folding no longer gives any benefit to the steel.
Can a sword cut a bullet?
First, the sword. A katana can and will cut a bullet in two if the sword’s blade is positioned correctly. It has to be a legit katana (no crappy made in China stainless steel ones) and even then it’s edge will most likely be cracked, but it will cut it in half or into pieces. Second, the user.
Why Japanese swords are so expensive?
Each sword takes dedication, skill and can take over 18 months to create. The resulting blades can be worth thousands of dollars. So what makes them so expensive? … And as there are less and less sword masters across Japan, these works of art are only going to become more valuable.
What would a samurai say before battle?
They wore it for heavy duty neck protection. What did a samurai say before he faced his opponent in battle? He would yell his name, ancestry, and previous deeds of heroism.
Can a katana cut a person in half?
A katana can chop a regular sword in half. Fact: Any steel sword can break if it’s struck at the wrong angle. Chopping one in half, however, is highly unlikely. In battle, Japanese swordsmen would use the edge of the blade to block their enemy’s attacks.
Can a katana cut through armor?
All swords struggle against maille armor, atleast when it comes to cutting through it. and the katana is not well designed for either cutting mail or piercing it. … There is no sword that can cut through a decent plate armor.
Can a katana cut through a tree?
The edge geometry of a katana is designed for cutting, not chopping. Hacking away at a tree with a katana would chip and shatter the razor-sharp edge. The blade would likely get stuck and would be difficult to free without permenently bending or breaking the sword.
Do katanas break easily?
a good Katana won’t break outright, but a very large two handed sword has a much better reach (almost like a polearm) and would be very difficult to approach for someone with a katana. TLDR- a katana might be damaged if it strikes the zwiehander very hard, but not while receiving a hit.
Why are samurai swords so sharp?
Traditional Japanese katanas are famed for their incredible strength and cutting ability. Using native Japanese steel, called Tamahagane, swordsmiths were able to gradually refine and purify the make-up of the blade by repeatedly folding the metal up to a dozen times. …
Can a katana cut off a head?
The answer is quite obvious for all the people who always claim that a katana can cut through anything. Luckily for them, a katana can cut off the arm (or head) of an opponent. … As katanas are forged from very high carbon steel they can certainly take and keep a very sharp edge.
Which is better longsword or Katana?
Each one is unique with its own defining characteristics. The longsword is a longer, heavier sword with more stopping power, while the katana is a shorter, lighter sword with a stronger cutting edge. Hopefully, this gives you a better understanding of the nuances between the longsword and the katana.


OR WAIT null SECS
Part One (Nov/Dec13, p.40) introduced some problems involved in combustor development. This theme is continued in Part Two.
Most operators require that a gas turbine can operate over a reasonably wide range of fuels. Specifically, in pipeline and gas field duty, there is an expectation that a gas turbine can operate over a significant Wobbe index range. The Wobbe index is a number that relates the fuel’s heating value to its specific volume.
But there are some misconceptions about this: Wobbe index only dictates the fuel system’s pressure drop to the chemical energy input rate into the gas turbine for a specific fuel. Effectively, if two different fuels have the same Wobbe index, they will have the same pressure drop or volume flow through the fuel control system.
This is important since all components in the fuel system (pipes, valves, injectors, orifices, and so forth) must be sized for a specific volume flow and pressure drop. If the Wobbe Index of a given fuel changes drastically, the fuel system may not be able to handle the required volume flow to maintain the energy input into the combustor required to reach the gas turbine’s design output power (low Wobbe index) or the fuel control valve cannot provide adequate control at part load (high Wobbe index).
The Wobbe index relates two basic physical properties of the fuel but does not provide any information on combustion kinetic properties such as flame speed, reaction rate and auto-ignition delay time. Thus, when determining whether a specific fuel can be used in a gas turbine, one cannot simply rely on Wobbe index but must look at all the combustion kinetic properties.
Another combustion property that impacts the combustor design and sizing is the reaction rate of the fuel-air mixture. Several hundred different reaction and sub-reactions occur when natural gas and air combust. The reaction rate characterizes how quickly these reactions are completed and the heat from the combustion reactions has been fully released.
All combustion reactions must be finished before the mixture exits the combustor and enters the turbine section. Consequently, the reaction rate sets the mixture’s required residence time in the combustor. Further, depending on the amount of mixing, turbulence intensity and overall aerodynamic flow structure in the combustor, this usually then determines the physical volume of the combustor or the combustor transition piece.
For gas fuels this is normally not a difficult design challenge as most reactions complete relatively quickly. But when liquid fuels are used that must be atomized and evaporated first or, even worse, when heavy hydrocarbon liquid drop-outs occur in gas fuels, the transient time is also related to the liquid droplet size.
Liquid droplets must fully evaporate before the fuel can react with the oxygen in the air. Thus poor atomization or liquid streaks in the gas fuel will not completely combust in the combustor and carry into the turbine section where they can cause localized combustion hot spots and severe damage.
The phenomenon of combustor pressure oscillations, often also called combustor “humming,” “rumble,” or “pulsations,” is well documented for gas turbines with dry low emissions (lean premixed) combustion systems. Combustor oscillations can lead to metal fretting of casing and support structures, premature wear of sheet metal structures such as combustor liners, performance deterioration and limitations, and sometimes premature equipment failure. It is characterized by pressure pulsations with rounded but distinct frequency peaks in the combustor and can be identified using acoustic or dynamic pressure measurements.
Although this phenomenon is primarily thought to only be a problem with lean premixed combustors, conventional diffusion flame combustors can sometimes also experience oscillations. In lean premixed combustion systems, oscillations are usually caused by acoustic resonance, resulting from the time lag between the fuel or air release into the premixing zone and the heat release in the combustor.
An unstable flame front creates small pressure waves in the combustor. When the frequency of these waves coincides with an acoustic resonance frequency of the combustor geometry, significant pressure amplitude gain and strong harmonic pulsations can occur. Furthermore, if the frequencies of these combustion-excited harmonic pulsations coincide with a structural resonance frequency of the gas turbine, large vibrations are usually the result.
Because of the complex geometry of the combustor and the many independent structural parts in a gas turbine, many coincident acoustic-structural resonance frequencies are possible. Typically, most severe combustion oscillations problems are at low frequency (acoustic bulk longitudinal mode) instabilities (0-100 Hz) but higher 3-D mode frequencies up to 1,200 Hz can also be excited (acoustic combustor circumferential or transverse modes).
Often combustion oscillation problems in DLE systems are related to other issues:
• The Wobbe index is outside of the manufacturer’s allowable limits
• Liquid hydrocarbons or water form in the fuel supply system and are carried into the combustor causing a non-uniform fuel distribution
• The combustor nozzle is severely degraded because of corrosion or coking.
These are just a few of the many design challenges a manufacturer faces when designing a modern gas turbine combustor. Designing a combustor that meets strict emission standards, can handle a wide range of fuels, is efficient, operates for a wide range of steady state and transient operating conditions, and most important, operates reliably for several years, is extremely difficult. Buyers and operators of gas turbines should carefully evaluate and verify the actual field experience and fleet operating hours of any new combustion system they intend to use.
Unfortunately, in the past, some unproven designs have been introduced to the market, some of which have caused significant downtime and costs for operators. When accepting a new gas turbine design or upgrading to a novel combustor design it is imperative to obtain real references and perform the necessary engineering due diligence.

In today's tough job market, people are doing a lot of crazy and creative things to get noticed by potential employers.
We've heard of Snapchat resumes, Lego resumes, and movie poster resumes — but the chocolate bar resume is hands down the most delicious way you could ever get a hiring manager's attention.
Renata Chunderbalsingh told Mashable that she wrapped her resume over Lindt chocolate bars in an effort to get a market research job in Sydney, Australia.
"I am new to the industry, and was thinking well, 'how can I get out there and tell them that I'm good?'" she said. "I thought, I have to differentiate myself from the crowd."
So why not appeal to their sweet tooth? And it may have worked. Renata sent the candy to different recruitment agencies and quickly heard back.
"Not sure if we were bribed or charmed, but either way it prompted a lovely chat with Renata this morning," Gemma Lewis, a director at Resources Group, posted on LinkedIn. "She doesn't have loads of insights experience but she has passion, creativity and gumption in spades and sound arguments for why she wants to work in consumer insights."

By Jen Cardone | The Duquesne Duke
Students can expect to see changes from the Student Government Association this year, including more collaboration between organizations on campus and increased school spirit.
The SGA has been working on an initiative called #duqbucketlist with Nicole Bucholtz, director of marketing and promotions in the athletics department. This year, they have compiled a list of what all Duquesne students should do while they attend the University. SGA President Peter Samson said the goal is to get more students to participate in organizations and to increase school spirit.
The SGA has also started a collaboration with the Duquesne Program Council, International Students Organization and all the class councils to establish a stronger connection.
“We really don’t have a great relationship with them, so we’re doing our best to reach out to them to promote events,” Samson said. “Right now our relationship is kind of distant because we just provide funding.”
Over the summer, SGA representatives worked with the budget and were able to allocate 2.9 percent more toward conference appropriations, which are awarded to campus organizations twice per year.
Another change this year will be limited access to the Student Organization Resource Center. Due to missing items, only two members per organization can now access it. New hardware is being installed that will require students to swipe in, and it should be accessible within the next few weeks.
An additional project in the works is an effort to expand the DoubleMap smartphone application to include push notifications as the loop bus reaches stops, but nothing has been finalized. Samson said they are waiting for student feedback and will adjust the app to student needs later this semester.
In the next two weeks, SGA is going to unveil a project called the Duquesne Tradition Project. Franklin Giovannelli, vice president of student life, said it is an ongoing project that has been in the works and will begin its initial stages this semester. More details will be released when they are available.
Samson said the SGA wants to remind students they are the people to seek out for changes and concerns on campus.
“Students can see a more increased presence on campus, much more prevalent voice to administration that come to senate, we would encourage that these meetings are open to everyone,” Giovannelli said. “There are unlimited possibilities here that could happen if someone comes forward with their idea. We are the voice of everyone here and we want to continue to be that voice.”

Speaker provider Sonos did that, and so did the world’s largest search engine operator Google successfully sued. “Our developments were copied and that wasn’t right,” Sonos CEO Patrick Spence told Handelsblatt.
The Santa Barbara-based supplier specializing in wirelessly networked speakers had At the beginning of the year, it was successful in patent proceedings before the US Trade Commission (ITC).. The lawsuit found that Google infringed a total of five Sonos patents. The search engine operator was then forced to adapt the functions of the Google speakers.

Publisher cancels Wicca-themed children’s book series
First of 15-part Sweep series already printed
The Stabenfeldt publishing house has decided not to publish the Sweep series of books in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, following an outcry over content related to the Wicca religion.The fantasy books were to have been targeted at children aged 9 to 13 in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The first part had already been sent to the printer.
Christian Democratic Party MP Leena Rauhala submitted a written question to the government on Friday, stating the view that the books should not be published in Finland. Rauhala mentioned content of the book, including drug use, nudity, smoking, alcohol, and strong language.
The publisher had removed references to tobacco and alcohol, as well as the strongest language from the translation. As for drug use, the publisher said that the books portrayed illegal drugs in a negative light.
The Wicca religion proved to be the deciding factor in the matter.
“We do not want to promote any individual religion or political ideology in the books that we target toward children”, says the publisher’s CEO Jens Otto Hansen.
He said that the publisher was not familiar with Wicca. “I only learned on Monday morning that such a thing as Wicca exists.”
Hansen sees the case as an “industrial accident” for the publisher. “Our own routines have failed in this. We have acted too quickly.”
Hansen himself learned about the Wiccan content only on Monday, but admits that already last week one of the company’s employees had raised the issue of the books’ content.“Clearly one of our employees have raised the issue outside our company as well. It is not pleasant for our matters to come into the public eye in this manner.”
While the publisher is withdrawing the book, Hansen disagrees with Rauhala’s point of view. “An enthusiastic politician has latched on to this and tried to turn it into something different. I cannot share her views in any way.”
Hansen emphasises that the decision to cancel the publication was the publisher’s own. “We are not forced by those who want to protect their own beliefs any more by those who want to advance freedom of expression. We decide ourselves what kinds of products to produce.”
Written by Cate Tiernan, the Sweep series comprises 15 novels for young people. The main character is an American teenage girl by the name of Morgan Rowlands, who learns that she is a witch. In the series she is searching for her place in a new type of world. The original series was published in 2001-2003. It has appeared in the United States, Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Australia, Italy, and France.

A theological library in Canada has digitalized numerous rare Puritan volumes from the 17th and 18th centuries, including books from the personal library of one of the world's most renowned evangelical theologians, J.I. Packer, and made them available for online reading.
The John Richard Allison Library in Vancouver, which is jointly owned by Regent College and Carey Theological College, has made available its entire rare Puritan collection for online reading by anyone who's interested.
The collection includes books that come from the personal libraries of British-born Canadian Christian theologian Packer and Professor of Spiritual Theology at Regent College James M. Houston, one of the founders of Regent.
There are currently 80 Puritan authors in their collection, many of whose works were digitized from Packer's private library, according to the Gospel Coalition blog.
Packer is the Board of Governors' Professor of Theology at Regent. An ordained Anglican minister, Packer holds a D.Phil. from Oxford University. His published works include Rediscovering Holiness, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, and the best-selling Knowing God.
The authors include Isaac Ambrose, Lancelot Andrewes, William Bates, Richard Baxter, Jeremiah Burroughs, Joseph Caryl, John Downtime, William Fenner, John Owen, William Perkins, John Preston, Paul Wright and many others.
There are many books by Baxter, who was a 17th-century English Puritan church leader, poet, hymn-writer and theologian, in the collection made available online.
The "Puritans" of England and New England in the 16th and 17th centuries sought to return the church to its Reformational roots and to further reform it to its pure and biblical foundations.
One of the major theological libraries in western Canada, the Allison Library houses a growing collection of over 174,000 monographs, DVD, video and audiotapes, and over 350 periodical subscriptions, according to the library's website. "The main strengths of the book collection lie in biblical studies, congregational and pastoral studies, and Protestant thought," it says.


The CUSEC State Transportation Task force was created in 2000 to address the regional planning needs of the State Departments of Transportation (DOTs).

At the first graduation ceremony of the Rural Youth and Women Development Programme Through Agriculture in Conjunction with Lehae Farms limited, the first beneficiaries of the Don Lulu Foundation, the trainer Dr Emmanuel Mgbekwute revealed that the training which started this year has its oldest student at 70 years and its youngest at 18 years.
According to Dr Mgbekwute, the school which has about 600 students who registered succeeded in covering its schedule in agricultural training which was made available by the Peace Ambassador of the United Nation and the convener of Don Lulu Foundation, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe.
The adage ‘dont give me fish but teach me how to fish’ was exemplified in the coordination and training of the villagers in the rearing and production of agricultural products with the help of the King of Ezeoba, Oba Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna.
Speaking at the event, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe stated that the poverty rate in the country prompted into thinking of ways to alleviate it and help the people fend for themselves.
‘This is a little idea that has blossomed into what we are seeing today. According to the data we have in Nigeria, 60 per cent are in perpetual poverty. This is a sad situation. Our people are hardworking so what is keeping my people from being great? I thought about it and found out that empowerment can go a long way in bettering the lives of my people.
I found out that agriculture will enrich the lives of people and provide the people with handiwork. We provided 60 participants in training and setting up their farms. With this, our people will become major suppliers and distributors of agricultural products.
I sincerely thank the Oba for the free donation of land, I thank the facilitators. Don Lulu’s Foundation is of humanity and we must continue to educate and equip our people with what is needed to make our dreams a reality.’
Eze Nwokenna thanked the people who graced the event revealing that he was the first pro-chancellor of the University/foundation while stating that he, also, graduated from the School.
‘I want to thank my son and friend, Mayor Igbokwe for having the mind to equip the people. You stated, in your speech, that you weren’t doing this for fame but you saw the level of poverty that your people were in and decided to step in and help.
I want to thank the graduands for always coming for the training. The Mayor has paid 45 per cent of the total amount to start-up in equipping the people. There are a lot of people that will be moved to do this with what has been accomplished today. The Mayor never mentioned he wanted to contest for any election but to better the lives of his people. But it will be in your goodwill to support him if he decides tomorrow to contest for any election. The Mayor also mentioned that this process will continue in two senatorial districts, the Abia North and South,’ he concluded.
Gracing the occasion was the HRM Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna, Oba of Ekeoba ancient kingdom, HRM Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, Oroko Abia, Diawa 1 of Umudiawa, chairman Ohuhu Council of traditional rulers, HRM Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, Eze Paul Uzuegbu, Eze Innocent Nwaigwe, Deputy Chairman of the Umuahia North LGA Bob Agbugba, Chief Uche Aguoru, Chief Charles Ugochinyere and a host of others.


I keep my old CDs so I can remember this stuff
Bruce P. Barten | Saint Paul, MN United States | 02/09/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The CD liner notes have an interesting series of symbols following the names of each song, then a symbol that looks like a car for all tracks. After a page with a picture, there are four pages of names and symbols. Then there are two pages of pictures, followed by three pages explaining what each symbol represents. The first one I figured out was that Jools Holland plays a piano solo. The other symbol after his name indicates that the piano solo is for the song `Good Thing.' Now I can watch the CONCERT FOR GEORGE DVD again and figure that the guy playing piano for the song `Horse to the Water' is Jools, so the person singing must be Sam Brown. When there are so many people on stage at the same time, it can take me years to figure out where I have heard any of these people before. Roland Gift does the singing on all tracks for `The Raw & The Cooked' CD from Fine Young Cannibals. David Steele and Roland Gift wrote most of the songs, except the final song, `Ever Fallen in Love' by Peter Shelley, and `It's OK (It's Alright)' by David Steele-Roland Gift-Andrew Cox.
The symbol for `She Drives Me Crazy' might be a man hitting himself in the head with a book. "Everything I do is wrong" summarizes the obsessed man who can't help himself. The same symbol follows the name of David Z after four other symbols. He gets a credit for co-production and engineer for a total of three songs. Steele/Cox/Gift get credit for production on seven other songs, but the symbols are not in the same order as the list of the ten songs on the album. Gavin Wright gets credit for strings and Dave Anderson for remix on `As Hard as it Is.' Music is a complicated business for groups that get to be this good, and somebody has to keep track of who does what. I probably never noticed before. If I didn't have my own computer now, I might not even be interested in what an icon is for. Live and learn."

Ideas from the Field
Here are some helpful ideas from across the country that your child welfare system could consider using to develop a sufficient pool of foster, adoptive, and kinship families that can meet the needs of children and youth in foster care. See our ideas from the field in other sections of our website for additional strategies, especially for developing and supporting families starting when you recruit families.
General recruitment strategies help build public interest and awareness of the need for foster and adoptive parents for children and youth in foster care by broadcasting the need to a general audience. These strategies focus on drawing in a wide variety of families while setting the stage for more targeted recruitment.
Targeted recruitment is the process by which States, Tribes, and Territories strategically focus their recruitment efforts in neighborhoods and communities where families can be found that are most likely to be a resource for the children and youth in their care.
Child-specific recruitment strategies help recruit foster, adoptive, and kinship families for specific children and youth in foster care. These strategies begin with a comprehensive child assessment and preparation process. Every effort should be made to involve the child as developmentally appropriate.
Interjurisdictional placements involve placing a child for foster care or adoption with a family who lives in a different jurisdiction from the one responsible for the child. For example, in a county-based child welfare system, you may encounter interjurisdictional issues between county departments and courts. More often, however, the term interjurisdictional is applied to placements involving movement of a child across state, territory, or national boundaries.
Implementing recruitment strategies is only the first step. The real key to effective recruitment is retention. You must also develop the capacity to support and actively develop families from initial inquiry through post-placement in order to be able to provide placement stability and permanency.
