Scargill House is a Christian Conference Centre [cite web|url=http://www.scargillhouse.co.uk/indexflash.html|title=Welcome to Scargill|work=Scargill House website|year=2007|accessdate=2007-06-22] located in
Wharfedale, in the county of North Yorkshire, England, which has announced its closure for July 20 2008.
It lies ¾ mile (1.2km) from the village of
Kettlewelland four miles (6.4km) from Grassington. The nearest market town, Skiptonis 14 miles (22.4km) away.
The house dates from the Eighteenth century and is constructed of stone, rendered and colour washed, under a stone flag roof. The Chapel (see photo) was built in 1960.
The recent history of Scargill House [cite web|url=http://jadn.co.uk/jh/Scargill.htm|title=Scargill House, Kettlewell|work=formerly online at
http://www.holdsworth.co.uk/history/Scargill.htmland viewable on this [http://web.archive.org/web/20050314114204/www.holdsworth.co.uk/history/Scargill.html Internet archive page] |date=2006|author=John Holdsworth & Co Ltd|accessdate=2007-06-24] can be summarised as follows:
Clement Holdsworth bought Scargill House from John Overend Wood in 1900 as a residence from which he shot
grouseon Conistone moor and fished for trouton the River Wharfe. It remained in the Holdsworth family for almost 57 years until William Holdsworth sold the house and estate at auction to the Church of Englandin November 1957.
The estate was described in the auction catalogue as an "exceptional residential, agricultural and sporting property" extending to convert|1050|acre|km2|0, which included:

*two stock farms each of about 500 acres (2 km²)
*about 70 acres (30 hectares) park and
*properties in nearby Kettlewell
*over a mile of trout fishing in the River Wharfe
*shooting rights over 3000 acres (12 km²) of Conistone Moor
*the right to
PewSittings in the Parish Churchof Kettlewelland share in the Lordship
They claimed that "the invigorating air and the completely unspoilt grandeur of the surroundings make the Property a most attractive and healthy resort"; and that the grounds of the house included a tree-lined drive, stone-pillared and
wrought ironentrance, lawns and an ornamental water garden.
Christian community and conference centre
Scargill was sold to the
Church of Englandfor the establishment of a Christian Community in 1957 after William Holdsworth had decided to live on his Irish estate at Bellinter House. In 1959 Scargill became a centre for conferences and events specialising in multi-faith, youth and environmental issues.
Since then, it has been largely reconstructed and extended to cater for the many groups that use its facilities. In 1960, a
chapelwas built by George Paceof Yorkin a Scandinavian style reflecting the location's history, and is now listed. The woodland at Scargill is accredited by the FSC as a highly important conservation site.
In 2008, it was announced that the centre would be closing in July 2008 due to financial difficulties and profits from the sale of the estate would be used to set up a foundation.cite web|url=http://www.cravenherald.co.uk/news/news_index/display.var.2366232.0.dales_retreat_to_close.php|title=Dales Retreat to Close|author=Clive White|work=Craven Herald & Pioneer (Newsquest Media Group)|year=2008|month=June|accessdate=2008-07-08]

Artificial intelligence develops at lightning speed, so quickly that the question arises as to whether ‘KI’ might make humanity superfluous. In 2Doc: More Human Than Human it is investigated what it means to live in the age of intelligent machines.
Will love relationships become normal with an algorithm? Because it is a better partner, more empathic than a person can ever be? Or is it precisely the greatest threat to humans, which Stephen Hawking and Nick Bostrom warn for? Will KI, so infinitely smarter, better connected and possibly also self-consciously, ultimately make humanity superfluous?

Prompt: Share your mad crafting skills.
I’m a knitter and a crocheter. I haven’t begun spinning yarn yet. Mostly because I don’t have an upright spinning wheel. I know how to use a drop spindle, but my cats consider it a cool toy, so it doesn’t get used that often.
It’s easier to show you than to explain. Here are pictures of crochet items, knit items here and here (gotta fix that one of these days) and my costumes. There’s more under my username Lycanthrophile over at Ravelry, which requires a membership. I haven’t figured out how to bulk share all the projects there with the public.
Any thoughts about me using my Tumblr account to post my crafty stuff to besides these posts?

I love your costumes! I do yarn costumes too, but they’re not all in one section, just kinda strewn through my craft website (fullmoon.typepad.com/crafts) in the knitting and crochet sections.

These are very easy and go well with posset or creamy desserts (they are also less heavy than shortbread).
125 gr butter
125 gr glass sugar
125 gr flour
2 tablespoons milk
You can add half a teaspoon of vanilla essence if you wish.
Melt the butter. Add the sugar, flour, egg and milk in this order. Mix it all well ( you can do this easily with a wooden spoon). Cover a baking tray with baking parchment or a silicon mat. Make 7-8 cm long lines with the mixture (you can either use a piping bag or a teaspoon). Bake in a 180 degrees preheated oven for 10 minutes. As soon as you see that the edges get golden take them off the oven. Let them cool on a rack.
It is very easy for the children to help with these, except that they are not dexterous with the pipping bag.

LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) -- As a campaign to expand COVID-19 vaccinations across the country continues, attention has turned to rural areas, perceived by some to be the weakest link in putting the pandemic to bed.
Though rural Americans have been getting COVID-19 shots since vaccines became widely available, there is a federal push underway to reach every corner of the country -- focused on overcoming what some officials see as attitude barriers among rural communities.
Public polling on COVID-19 vaccination finds a number of conflicting results about rural America.
One poll finds the number of rural Americans who have had at least one COVID-19 shot outpaces their urban and suburban counterparts, by percentage. The polling divide comes in the number of rural Americans who indicate they'll never get vaccinated, compared to those in the cities and suburbs.
Many rural residents, including farmers and ranchers, already have stepped to the plate -- bringing into question whether rural America is a weak link.
"First, I'd like to make clear that farmers/rural Americans are not a monolithic group," Terri Moore, vice president of communications at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), told DTN.
"Their views range as broadly as the general population. Some farmers are out front blazing the trail in rural communities by hosting immunization clinics right on their farms, transporting their employees to vaccination sites and getting vaccinated alongside their workers, among other efforts."
According to Farm Market ID, a DTN company, its 2021 crop outlook survey found rural concerns about the virus have shifted.
In 2020, a Farm Market ID survey found 42.8% of farmers said they were concerned about the effect of the virus on themselves personally and 55.7% of farmers were worried about the effect on their businesses.
In 2021, the concern shifted.
A recent survey found 27.5% of farmers are extremely or very worried about the effect of the virus on themselves personally, while 33.3% were extremely or very worried about the effect on their business. The same survey found 72.9% of farmers were willing to take a vaccine once it became available.
AFBF has been helping spread the word about the benefits of vaccination among its six million members.
Moore said AFBF is a member of the COVID-19 Community Corps and is working with the Health Action Alliance, as well as the Ad Council, to increase awareness in rural America.
AFBF has shared toolkits and information about vaccine safety and the benefits of herd immunity in its e-newsletter, on its website and on social media. AFBF President Zippy Duvall wrote about the importance of getting vaccinated in his regular column and shared a vaccination photo of himself on social media.
Moore pointed to some examples of how farm communities are stepping to the plate.
In Idaho, Stephanie Mickelsen, whose family operates Mickelsen Farms, hosted an on-farm clinic where 350 people were vaccinated in a few hours.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, more than 40 farms, ag business and organizations hosted vaccine clinics, according to the Maricopa County Public Health Department.
"Regarding the reluctance among some, we've heard a variety of reasons for it," Moore said.
"Safety and side effects are a concern, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions. Among some farm workers, identification requirements are a barrier. For some, the newness of the vaccine is a source of concern.
"All of our communications center on it being a personal health choice. That said, we do note the societal benefits of achieving herd immunity, including getting the farm economy humming again as restrictions are lifted and restaurants, schools and cafeterias reopen. We have not received any negative feedback about our efforts to share information."
VARYING RURAL ATTITUDES
A Kaiser Family Foundation survey of more than 1,000 rural residents in April, found 39% of those surveyed said they had already taken at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That outpaces the 31% of urban and suburban adults who say the same.
What's more, the survey found rural residents to be more likely than urban and suburban residents to say their community has enough vaccination locations and vaccine supply.
Fewer rural residents, however, say they are planning or considering taking a vaccine compared to urban and suburban residents.
"Three in ten rural residents say they will either 'definitely not' get vaccinated or will only do so if required, and few unvaccinated rural residents (11%) say they have tried to get an appointment," the Kaiser survey found. "These results suggest that vaccination uptake in rural America may start lagging behind urban and suburban areas."
The survey found diverging rural attitudes about vaccines.
"About six in 10 rural residents (compared to less than half of urban and suburban residents) say getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a personal choice," Kaiser said. "Rural residents are also less likely to say they are worried about themselves or their family members getting sick from coronavirus or that they wear a mask most of the time when they leave their house."
In addition, Kaiser said rural residents are less likely to view the pandemic as a serious threat either to the country or their families. The survey found the most likely reason why some rural residents won't get vaccinated is because the vaccines are new, and there is a lack of information about long-term effects.
It's interesting to note rural residents are less likely to view COVID-19 as a threat, according to the USDA, although the rural population is older than urban and suburban areas. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control said eight in 10 COVID-19 deaths were among people age 65 and older.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 245 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from Dec. 14, 2020, through May 3, 2021.
During that time, there were 4,178 reported deaths -- far less than 1% -- among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine.
"CDC and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports," CDC says on its website.
"A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines."
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION EFFORTS
As part of the Biden administration's push to have 70% of adults COVID-19 vaccinated, the federal government launched a widespread effort to expand the number of vaccinations in rural areas in the next two months.
The White House's plans include delivering vaccines directly to rural health clinics, especially in more underserved communities.
More than $100 million in American Rescue Plan funding is expected to be announced for about 4,600 rural health clinics to support vaccine outreach.
In addition, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is providing about $860 million to help rural health clinics and rural hospitals broaden their COVID-19 testing and mitigation. HRSA is expected to provide up to $100,000 per clinic to each of the 4,600 federally designated rural health clinics and up to $230,000 per hospital to 1,730 small rural hospitals to increase COVID-19 testing.
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Speaking to a group of agriculture journalists last week during the North American Agricultural Journalists conference, American Medical Association President Susan R. Bailey said much of the trepidation in taking vaccines may center on misinformation or political attitudes.
Bailey said the AMA estimates if about 80% of the American population is vaccinated the "pandemic will largely be over."
A recent survey by Pew Research showed 60% of Americans say they would definitely or would likely get a COVID-19 vaccine -- meaning 40% would not.
"Given this political divide around vaccines and the unfortunate politics of this pandemic from the beginning, it's not surprising which states are leading the way in terms of vaccine adoption, and which states have some room for improvement," she said.
"In particular public health officials face considerable challenges reaching communities in America's rural south and west."
Although the time generally needed to move vaccines to market was cut dramatically on COVID-19 vaccines, Bailey said the vaccines are safe.
"We are very confident that the FDA and the CDC have followed a vigorous, fully transparent and evidence-based process to deliver safe and effective vaccines against this virus, confident that we can and are recommending these vaccines to our patients," she said.
Once a new drug application has been approved by the FDA, the vaccine undergoes three phases of testing.
"So once the vaccine has cleared this testing phase and receives FDA authorization," Bailey said, "it's subject to additional monitoring requirements to determine its safety and its effectiveness, to make sure that it's delivering on its claims."
Bailey said some people have had "minor, temporary" side effects. "We know that this just means that you're gaining immunity," she said.
"About 90% of physicians and 80% of all nurses have been fully vaccinated, healthcare professionals know that these vaccines are the best way to gain immunity to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

My name is Lawrence Tichaona Musekiwa. I was born on 17 December 1977. My parents Robson Musekiwa and Constance Mubobo were working at Bromley Tobacco Graders ,a place where music was the only source of entertainment for the small community after a hard working day in tobacco factory. We lived at Bromley from up until 1983 when my father got employed by the Electricity Supply Commission ,now ZESA.We then moved to Marondera in 1985 and then Arcturus Mine in 1986.
I started my music career in 1986 when i would secretly take my father’s guitar whenever I get a chance and start imitating how he played his guitars together with his close nephew Ishmael Shumba Mutowa.I began to play guitar using three strings and could at least imitate some popular songs from Marshal Munhumumwe, Thomas Mapfumo from 1986 to around 1996 .
In 1996, after completeing my O levels and the same year my father passed on, I played an acoustic guitar. I became serious practice and started writing songs. My sister Felistous Musekiwa and Clement Musekiwa would join me as they were having the same interest in music as I was doing. When I went for my A-levels in 1997 and 1997 at Nhowe Mission, I managed to smuggle in my mbira instrument that was to guide so much in my compositions. 1998 was my bad year as I lost my mother soon after receiving my A-level results .I then pursued music and did some compositions during my studies at Harare Polytechnic from 1999 to 2001 and during my working life at Ministry of Local Government up to 1997 and at Stanbic Bank where I am currently working as a buyer. During my school and working lives ,I managed to go through various situations that shaped my music career. I used to balance my music ,study and work life .
In October 2017, I finally managed to go to studio where I recorded my 6 track album Kurarama Kwangu with my 5 member band Harare Giants .
I am married to Monica Maraidze and we are blessed with three Children namely Rumbidzai Constance Musekiwa (14),Marshal Togara Musekiwa (11) and Sharon Mazvita Musekiwa (7) .
I am currently working on a new album to be released in December 2018 and a video of the previous album.

Cement Kiln Process Modeling to Achieve Energy Efficiency by Utilizing Agricultural Biomass as Alternative Fuels
Azad Rahman, M.G. Rasul, M.M.K. Khan and S. Sharma, School of Engineering and Technology, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, QLD, Australia
Cement manufacturing is an energy-intensive and heavy pollutant emissions process. Waste-derived alternative fuels are widely used to reduce the pollutant emissions and the use of fossil fuel. Within the cement kiln, it requires about 40–50% of total thermal energy to complete the complex chemical reactions of clinker formation. High kiln temperature and the intrinsic ability for clinker to absorb and lock contaminants into the clinker allow the kiln to burn a wide range of ...

The Importance of Hydration: During, Pre- and Post-Workout
Hydration is important. We must take this into account during sports, either competition or hobby.
The human body (at rest) can endure 15 days without eating, but only three days without hydration. After intense aerobic exercise, such as a three hour marathon, we can face dehydration within a few hours if we are not well prepared.
The market offers plenty of drinks for athletes with a variety of features and functions. We have drinks aimed at different sports, depending on the intensity and requirements. And we also have drinks that include ergogenic substances that make us perform better.
But not only do we have to decide what type of drinks we need, but in what moment of the activity we should consume them. The quantity, temperature, and composition (among other factors) will depend on the type of sport and the moment of exercise.
What it depends on …
If your exercise involves going to the gym for a few hours each day, be calm. Hydrate regularly while you are there, especially during cardio activities such as spinning, zumba or step. These activities require more effort from you, and you will sweat more.
If you are more into weights or toning exercises, such as, anaerobic exercise, your loss due to sweating will be less. It is recommended that you stay hydrated but this exercise does present less risk of dehydration.
The problem with hydration has been noted by the press. More and more cases are in the news; amateur athletes, who have been treated by medical services for dehydration. Just as we search the internet for ‘ how to have hard glutes’, we should also learn how to identify when our body is dehydrating.
Symptoms where you need to hydrate yourself
- Thirst sensation (Obviously)
- If your urine is dark
- Dry lips and nostrils.
- You start to sweat less, even if you keep exercising.
If you keep exercising, you can suffer all of these symptoms during exercise:
- Greater fatigue than expected.
- Loss of vision
From here, I hope you will have a medical team nearby.
What can I do?
It is important that we begin exercise or a sporting competition hydrated. This does not mean that ten minutes before its start, we drink a pint and a half of water. If we do this, we will swell, have digestive pains due to the movement and quantity of water and finally, we will be forced to stop. Do not risk this!
“Playing sports makes you feel alive”
If in the days leading up to exercise or sporting competitions, we drink adequate amounts of liquid (around 1.5L) and consume water-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, it is enough.
Drink about 220ml, before starting and plan the possibility of ingesting a drink during the activity.
Let us put ourselves in the worst case …
I am a person that stays in shape, but I do not usually do physical exercise and my friends have tricked me into signing up for a marathon. So, since we are going, let us take it seriously. Several days before, I take care of my food , I learn the route, where the refreshments will be etc.
The day arrives, and it is 35 degrees Celsius in the shade. If you were planning to drink a 220 ml drink before exercise, raise the amount to 500ml, to take into account the losses due to excess temperature.
If instead, you decide to drink a ‘PowerAde’ this is an isotonic drink, and you will absorb it quickly. Surely it is good to drink a very cold drink, since it is hot? Error! If the drink is very cold, it will take longer to absorb and can give you gastrointestinal pain. The best temperature is between 15-20 degrees Celsius.
Tips during the competition
Is there a refreshment stand at 10 km, or halfway through the route? Take advantage of it! It is your chance to replace salts and electrolytes. Be attentive to your body, it is better to stop before you struggle.
Consuming alcohol after physical exercise has consequences.
Exhausted after having managed to complete the marathon, they offer me a bottle of water and I gulp it straight down! Relax, drink a couple of drinks and wait, you just did an intense exercise and your body is still adapting.
I am very tired, I am not hungry, but I am going with friends to celebrate? Pay attention! It is better that you eat something to replace the carbohydrates that you have spent. If you drink alcohol you will increase dehydration . Wait until you have recovered .
It may seem that hydration is the only problem that we can solve by drinking water, but more factors influence hydration than we thought. Before you embark on an exercise learn how to keep your body hydrated.

Nabil Othman, MD
CA-3, Cedars Sinai Los Angeles
For anesthesiology residents the ICU is polarizing: some seem to love it and some can’t wait until their rotation ends. Some medical students chose anesthesiology for its direct nature. In the operating room you don’t have to wait for nurses to come back from their break to draw labs, rounding doesn’t exist, and you don’t have to talk with consultants all day. The operating room is the most hands-on place in the hospital. What more could you want?
My residency required five ICU months: medical ICU (MICU), surgical ICU (SICU), and neurosurgical ICU (NSICU) during my intern year, another month in the surgical ICU as a CA-1, then finally one month in the cardiac surgical ICU (CSICU) as a CA-2. I enjoyed the complex patients, complex treatment plans, and complex negotiations required to care for the sickest patients in the hospital. Plus, I could go to the bathroom whenever I wanted!
As a CA-2, I applied for critical care fellowship, also called anesthesiology critical care medicine (ACCM). At the end of my CA-2 year, I matched at Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Heart Institute in Houston, Texas. Here is what I learned along the way.
What kind of doctor pursues critical care medicine?
Intensivists tend to be energetic, curious, and insightful. They have broad knowledge of every organ system, deep knowledge of pathophysiology, and the intelligence to apply that knowledge to unique clinical scenarios. Besides large scheduled surgeries such as cardiac surgery and esophagectomies, ICU admissions are not planned; they occur because of unexpected life-threatening emergencies. You have to enjoy uncertainty, acuity, and difficulty.
One of my most memorable patients was a healthy young woman with a venous malformation on he left leg who developed uncontrollable chest wall hemorrhage after breast augmentation surgery. Over her five days in the ICU we gave her 60 units of blood products and caused iatrogenic TRALI before we finally stopped the bleeding using heparin. Turns out, acute events such as surgery can trigger a localized intravascular coagulopathy inside venous malformations that consume clotting factors and cause uncontrollable bleeding. Heparin stopped the localized coagulation cascade within hours. In the ICU, heparin can be a treatment for hemorrhage!
Critical care is one of the most dynamic fields of medicine. Anything can happen at any time. You have to figure out what the problem is and how to treat it before your patient dies in front of you. You will see complications you didn’t know existed or have never been reported. Does this challenge make you excited? Or would you rather focus on a single patient in the operating room?
Personally, I enjoy the challenge of critically ill patients. Solving challenging medical problems under time pressure makes me excited to wake up in the morning.
How does the intensivist role differ from OR anesthesia?
In OR anesthesia, your responsibilities are specific and defined. The ICU is a little different because you are the captain of the ship. You will lead a team rather than carrying out a specific, defined role. Every problem is by definition your problem.
You also control the agenda. Physicians, nurses, administrators, respiratory therapists, and your friend’s cousin all want their issues addressed immediately…however you only have finite time. If you can’t prioritize the most important parts of patient care the patient will die. If you under-communicate, important issues will be unresolved. If you over-communicate, you will waste time perseverating on minor details, which means you won’t have time to address the truly important issues. Efficient communication is key.
Your leadership role also means resolving disputes between team members. Diplomacy and tact are key in these situations. Can you convince a surgeon who is wrong in a given situation that their opinion is incorrect without insulting them? Can you work with a diverse set of personalities who may or may not like each other? Can you give feedback in a direct, constructive, helpful manner? Sometimes the ICU is more politics than medicine.
Honestly, I enjoy the politics of the ICU. I like figuring out individual psychologies then organizing them into a cohesive team. Convincing everyone to work together feels like solving a psychology puzzle.
What does the application process look like?
Applications are accepted through the San Francisco match system starting in November, interviews are offered on a rolling basis until April, then match day is in late May of the following year. The match rate is between 90-100%. There are usually unfilled programs every year, however, the most competitive programs always fill up.
ACCM programs vary a lot. Some focus on NSICU, some SICU, some MICU, and others CSICU. Your personal statement should specifically state what you want from an ICU fellowship. What ICU experiences most resonated with you as a medical student and resident? What do you want to do with your fellowship? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? A specific personal statement and targeted application increases the probability of you and your perfect program finding each other.
Before I applied I knew I was interested in the CSICU so I purposely applied to 14 institutions with advanced cardiac surgery programs. I interviewed at five then matched at the Texas Heart Institute. I ranked Texas Heart Institute first because it had the most exposure to mechanical circulatory support devices, a robust TTE curriculum, and plenty of ECMO patients. I was very happy with the result!
SF match requires three letters of recommendation: one from your program director and two from attendings with direct knowledge of your clinical abilities. On your ICU rotations show up early, work hard, be flexible, and have a good attitude. The ICU is like a small town: your reputation can make or break you. One of my letters specifically mentioned how much the nursing staff enjoyed working with me.
ICU attendings usually work shifts so finding mentors can be challenging. In order to facilitate more longitudinal relationships you can present case reports, do research, or ask your program director for additional ICU rotations. I wrote an IRB-approved study with one of my letter writers and did OR cases with the other. I’m glad I was able develop relationships with my mentors a year before applications opened. If you think you might be interested in ACCM tell your program director so he or she can help you find opportunities.
What kind of opportunities are available after fellowship?
Critical care will always be in demand. Right now, the demand is so high NPPs (non-physician providers) are employed by hospitals to offset the shortage of intensivists. After fellowship, applicants generally receive multiple offers in a variety of settings. You will also have the option of practicing OR anesthesiology.
Critical care jobs in community settings tend to be a mix of MICU and SICU. Due to differences in billing, critical care generally grosses less money than OR anesthesiology. For this reason, private groups tend to be focused on the operating room. Finding a private practice job with both OR and ICU is possible but more difficult than in academia.
Large academic institutions tend to be more specialized and more accepting of anesthesiologists splitting time between the OR and ICU. Critical care anesthesiologists might do high-acuity OR cases then take care of the same patients in their respective ICUs. Examples are a SICU attending doing liver transplant cases or a CSICU attending doing cardiac cases.
Critical care trained anesthesiologists might also choose to do 100% OR anesthesiology. They are often held in high esteem by their colleagues and given more challenging cases. Regardless of your practice setting, the ACCM fellowship gives you versatility inside and outside the operating room.
My end goal is to do 50% cardiac OR and 50% CSICU at an academic institution. In order to do this, I applied for cardiac fellowship in my CA-3 year.
Where can I find more information?

JOHN DLUDLU: Two years wasted on land expropriation debacle
Having bled votes to the EFF, the ANC had to find ways of increasing its appeal to voters, but it has done the opposite
After two years of much hype, consultation, committees and task teams, MPs voted on Tuesday on a parliamentary committee report that proposed that the law be amended to enable the government to expropriate land without compensation.
Initially billed as a historic process, the whole exercise has turned out to be a costly waste of time. This is hardly surprising given the origins of the process. It is worth recalling how the country ended up with this debacle...

Experimental Determination of NH3 Solubility in Toluene at Pressures up to 340 kPa at 398 K
MetadataShow full item record
The solubility of ammonia in toluene has been measured at 398 K and at pressures up to 340 kPa using a static, synthetic and isochoric technique. The goal of the present study is to determine the equilibrium solubility of ammonia in toluene at a pressure and temperature regime that is relevant to the reaction conditions of amination of 1,3,5-trichloro-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene leading to the formation of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitro benzene. The ammonia solubility data in toluene were hitherto unavailable under these experimental conditions. The solubility data have also been compared with the result obtained from a direct sampling method. The results are in agreement with Krichevsky-Kasarnovsky equation. The Henry's law constant at the reaction temperature has been determined.

The appropriate sample vial should be selected according to the requirements of the instrument and the condition of the sample. In order to prevent the sealing gasket from adsorbing the sample components, a gasket lined with polytetrafluoroethylene or aluminum is often used. The selection depends on the analysis conditions (temperature) and the specific conditions of the sample. Regular analysis can be used with butyl rubber pads, and trace analysis with lined silicone rubber pads. If necessary, use blank analysis to confirm that the volatiles in the gasket does not interfere with the analysis.
How to choose a sample vial First of all, we must understand that the sample vials mainly include crimp cap vials, screw cap vials, and bayonet cap vials. Crimped cap vials are cheap but need to be equipped with crimp tools, and the caps cannot be reused; screw cap sample vials can be reused and are not volatile.
If you want general-purpose and acid-resistant types, you can choose glass vials; If it is used for very small injection volumes, a micro-lined tube is required; If it is used for samples that are easy to stick to the wall of glass vial and trace analysis, silanization/deactivation is required; If it is used for light-sensitive samples, a brown bottle is required; If it is used for alcohol samples or water-soluble solvents, polypropylene is required.
Secondly, we will talk about the importance of vial quality. If the tolerance is not strictly controlled, the market size and wall weight of the vial may be different, which will affect the sample volume in the vial, especially important for small samples.
Hawach strict tolerance control runs through the entire manufacturing process, from the initial design to the final photoelectric scanning inspection process, the accuracy of the specifications of each sample bottle and cap is ensured. The integrity, cleanliness, and uniformity of sample vials are essential to today’s demanding applications. All Hawach sample vials are manufactured in an ISO9001 clean environment. The unique packaging ensures cleanness and safety during transportation.
How to clean a sample vial
In fact, when we do liquid chromatography, the sample vials are disposable, but the cost is too high, so now we use duplicate sample vials, and we have to clean them better. We can use organic reagents for cleaning as much as possible. Ethanol can be used for cleaning. If you need to use it in a hurry, you can also use it directly after cleaning it with ethanol.
Accurate liquid measurement for application
Making accurate liquid measurements for applications, glass sample vials are manufactured from Type 1 borosilicate glass which is performing perfectly with the factors of durability and corrosion resistance. The construction of a glass sample vial provides exceptional resistance to heat shock and chemical leaching.
Highly recommended for storing cell cultures, blood/serum specimens, sperm, and other biological specimens, Hawach provides our customers with available three styles screw top sample vial, crimp top sample vial, and snap top sample vial which is ideal for collecting and transporting general purpose specimens. With the uniform sidewall and bottom thickness, you can find Hawach glass sample vials in colors of amber and clear with high visibility for your convenience.
The key features of Hawach glass sample vials include attached caps which can help maintain cleanliness, clear vials that conform to USP Type I and ASTM E 438 Type I, Class A requirements, and amber vials made of borosilicate glass which conforms to USP Type I requirements also. All the vials and caps are autoclavable. Hawach glass sample vials always provide simple ways to boost your laboratory productivity and return on your investment.

|Liam enjoying a burger and a pint at Bootleg Brewery|
Our Christmas day began with us loading up the van for the week before heading down to our local beach, Cottesloe, for a morning swim. There were lots of people in bikinis and Santa hats which was a sight to behold, and the outdoor gyms were heaving and lots of people embarking in their usual exercise routine (I know, exercise on CHRISTMAS DAY!). It was a hot, sunny day and the water was clear and inviting (still 'refreshing' as always!), the perfect way to start our first antipodean Christmas. We then embarked on our journey down south. We make a most excellent driving couple. Liam gets car sick as a passenger so prefers to drive, Charlotte doesn't so was able to read for the whole 6 hours the journey took. Excellent! We stopped for a quick Christmas lunch of avocado salad sandwich in Bridgetown, and arrived at Peaceful Bay soon after 4pm. We cracked a couple of beers and opened our pressies, (a good haul, thanks everyone!) before driving around looking for phone signal so we could make a Christmas phone call home. Despite having two different sim cards (having spent $30 on a telstra sim card that said it covered this area) we could barely even get emergency signal and so screeched to a halt next to a phone box and made the call from there (before realising that there was a pay phone at the campsite, d'oh!). Back at the campsite we got the stove fired up and enjoyed our Christmas dinner of marinated prawns followed by Porterhouse steak, tabbouleh, potato salad and a green salad, yum! We walked to the beach and gazed at the amazing stars (no light pollution), and conceded that although it was strange not to be amongst family on Christmas day, we'd definitely made the best of it, and the weather had conspired to make it a very enjoyable day.
On Boxing day we just chilled out at Peaceful Bay at the campsite and the beach. We had a lovely morning of snorkelling, swimming and making a sandman(!). Late afternoon we headed out to the nearby Valley of The Giants National Park, to do the Treetop Walk. It is a walkway amongst the forest suspended 40m in the air, enabling you to get up close with the huge 400 year old Tingle trees which give the National Park it's name. The walkway sways quite a lot in the breeze and really is quite an engineering feat. We also did a separate walk on terra firma where we could get a look at the bases of the trees close up, and walk through some trees which had a hollow bottom due to funhgi, parasites and fire. Pretty interesting stuff!
The 27th was Liam's birthday, so we had a fun-packed day. After the obligatory morning swim Liam opened his pressies and we packed up the van (not before a bacon butty feast). First stop was Bartholomew Meadery where we sample various types of traditional and fruity meads. We bought a bottle of a sweet-yet-dry mead, with some beer-like qualities as it had been re-fermented in the bottle. The bee hive was in the shop with a glass wall, so we got to see first hand the bees and thank them for their hard work! The shop also made ice-cream, so it would be remiss of us not to try some lovely ginger ice-cream on a hot day like this. Liam chatted to the guy working there who was wearing a Rolo Tomassi t shirt, who are a band from Sheffield, small world! We then moved on before hastily doing a u-turn after seeing a sign for a brewery, it was Liam's birthday after all! Entering the Denmark Brew and Ales building from the front didn't really build up much expectation as it looked like a caravan park, but in fact it boasted a gorgeous veranda overlooking beautiful countryside, where we enjoyed a tasting paddle. The beer was drinkable yet unremarkable, but the view on a hillside looking over the coastline was what this place was all about. The day was hotting up and the locals remarked to us how it isn't often this hot down here (being on the south coast it is a lot cooler and wetter than where we live). We moved onto Denmark for a quick pit-stop (or should that be pie-stop?) for a lunch of proper Aussie pies at an award winning bakery. We decided that when people recommend Denmark as somewhere to visit, they mean the surrounding countryside (which admittedly is utterly, utterly stunning) rather than the town itself (nothing wrong with it but it is just a single street with a mixture of tourist shops and cafes). We visited windswept Ocean Beach but retreated to the car to head to the next campsite at Emu Point in Albany. After a longer than intended walk around the point we wined and dined and stuck some birthday candles in some pieces of homemade peanut butter fudge, and drunk some tasty vintage barley wine we had bought a few months previously from Bootleg Brewery. Splendid!
We then treated ourselves to a lazy day where we sat reading the paper in the front of the van overlooking the ocean, and eating delicious salt and pepper squid from the Squid Shack (an Albany institution). Once it had cooled down a little we explored Albany Town Centre and enjoyed it's high street with many old buildings, as Albany was the first settlement in Western Australia. It was quite an interesting and vibrant little town and possibly the first town we've genuinely liked (bar Freo, obviously!) in WA. On the way back we drove up Mount Clarence to the war memorial and fantastic views over the unique landscape of various inlets and sounds.
Early next morning we packed up ready to head back to Peaceful Bay and had a glorious breakfast at Emu Point Cafe. Before getting back on the road west, we drove down a very long peninsular and to the inappropriately named Misery Beach. Oddly named, as after a long drive, followed by a hike down from the car park, the reaction stepping onto the beach is 'Oh, WOW'. A truly beautiful beach and beautiful azure water, of course the photos just don't do it justice. There was a huge cliff face at one end, making the scene even more impressive, and lots of huge waves crashing in making it a lot of fun to swim in! Later in the afternoon the horse-flies came out, so we made a run for it and visited 'The Gap' and 'Natural Bridge', aptly named rock formations which date back to the last ice-age when Australia and Antartica were joined together. Our last stop of the day was at Greens Pool, a shallow and sheltered, very pretty bay which attracts lots of families due to it being so much safer than many of the other beaches. We played with a new ball (a Waboba) we'd got for Christmas which at times was more like playing fetch, as Liam bounced the ball off the water so effectively it went for bloody miles. Thanks Mark! It was a fantastic day to mark a year to the day since we set off from home. Thinking back to that chilly December morning when we waved our families goodbye at Chorley Railway station was strange because, in some ways, it feels like an incredibly long time ago, and in other ways it feels like time has just flown by. We cracked opened a beer at 6.17pm to mark the occasion of our train leaving Chorley station at 10:17am British time exactly a year ago!
The following day, we awoke to damp and wet morning and tentatively tried to coax Eric into life to no avail. A German guy who was camping nearby came over, asked where we were heading, and said 'if I get your car started, can you give me a lift to Walpole?'. All it needed was a little meths on the carburetter and we were away, and enjoyed chatting to Heigl before continuing on from Walpole to Pemberton. Heigl had told us about some good climbing trees in Pemberton, and as it was on our way we checked one of them out, the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree in the Warren National Park . We'd read about it and had in our heads an idea of a huge tree with basically a rudimentary staircase leading up it. Charlotte was indignant when Liam asked if she was going to climb it, and retorted that of course she was going to climb it, "I'm not a wuss". Well, it turned out to be an ENORMOUS tree with metal spokes sticking out of it to climb up and around it. Turns out Charlotte is a wuss, although Liam did make it to the halfway point about 40m up. Scary stuff! We also enjoyed a refreshing walk through the National Park in the mentholly eucalyptus air. We then carried on to our final destination, to campsite in Margaret River that we'd visited with Charlotte's family earlier in the year. We visited Colonial Brewery in the afternoon for a scrumptious tasting paddle - more info on this to come in the next post - 'The 12 Beers of Christmas'!
For the final day of our holiday we walked along the river from the campsite into the town of Margaret River, and had coffee at a local cafe. We then headed to Cowramup Brewery for a tasting paddle, nothing like the taste of beer in morning! We also visited Tassle Park Wines for a tasting (as Liam felt he couldn't visit the Margaret River region twice without visiting a single winery) before heading to the Bootleg Brewery for lunch. It being New Year's Eve, Bootleg was heaving and we were almost turned away at the gate, but conceded we were only going in for a drink, but thankfully the floor staff found us a table so we could eat. Liam had an awesome steak sandwich and Charlotte had a scrumptious Turkish platter. Gorgeous lunch, gorgeous beers, gorgeous setting for a brewery, amongst the farmland and forest. It had been a great holiday, with perfect weather, and the stunning scenery of the South West coast.
We then drove home, after a long drive for Charlotte and a hard day's beer and wine sampling for Liam, we were exhausted. By the time we had unpacked it was 9pm and we thought better of our idea to go into Fremantle or to the beach for midnight (Charlotte also had to be up for work before 6am). We watched Four Lions and went to bed at 11.15pm as we were absolutely knackered. We were woken up by fireworks at midnight and lay in bed watching a pretty elaborate display towards Perth from the window.
So, 2011, we bid you a fond farewell. I guess all our blog posts will attest that 2011 has been pretty swell. Yep, swell :)

PULLMAN, Wash. – It was not far from here, the celebrated home of borderline cowards and conventioneer zombies, that Jim Mora once became so emotional with the media he nearly wet himself.
Then coaching the Seattle Seahawks, Mora detonated on the subject of the team’s offensive line. He used terms like “nastiness,” “frickin’ toughness” and “nail-eater,” suggesting the group was soft and lacked an essential “dirtbag” quality.
Mora accentuated the observations by pounding his fist on a table, fixing his eyes with a glare sharp enough to slice cheese and shooting fire from his fingertips.
OK, he didn’t really do the fire thing but, just understand, he was extremely ticked and rather unstable.
“It’s been laid out very clearly for everybody here, what’s expected these next three weeks and what’s at stake,” said Mora, who was nearing the end of his first season as head coach and was empowered by the three years remaining on his deal. “Everyone knows that they are being evaluated.”
Three games later, Mora was fired.
That was 2009, but the story resurfaced in advance of UCLA’s game Saturday, here at Washington State.
See, the Cougars are coached by Mike Leach, who, when dealing with the media, also can be emotional and brutal and, most of all, emotionally brutal. Honesty isn’t a policy with Leach. It’s a weapon.
“You get attached to these kids, you know?” Mora explained the other day. “You just do. You pour your heart into it and, at times, it’s hard to control your emotions. If you haven’t noticed, I, at times, get a little emotional. Believe me, I hear about it from my mom, my dad and my wife. I’m trying.”
So, keep in mind, what we’re getting now is Mora, a man a week short of his 51st birthday, trying his best to control himself. Imagine what would come out of his mouth if he just decided to heck with it.
Now you know why Mora last week – using terms like “knucklehead,” “frickin’ joke” and “lowest form of lifeform” – called for a Twitter imposter to be jailed, suggesting that, if given the chance, he would physically beat the individual.
A day later, Mora admitted he overacted. He also clarified his position to indicate that imprisonment probably isn’t the punishment that fits the crime of pretending to be someone else on Twitter.
Then Mora added, “I’m good for something stupid said every once in a while, as we all know.”
And so, on websites like vice.com, these most recent developments were reported under the headline, “Jim Mora is an Insane Maniac, Just Like His Dad.”
You might remember the elder Jim Mora’s news conference rant in 2001 about the Indianapolis Colts making the playoffs. It was popular enough to be featured years later in a beer commercial. To this day, the rant has its own website: jimmoraplayoffs.com.
“We all try to learn from our mistakes,” the younger Mora said. “I’ve made so many mistakes, and I’ve tried to learn from them. Unfortunately, I keep repeating some, but still try to do my best to learn from them.”
That brings us back to Leach, whose apparent fits of insanity are, to be accurate, probably more purpose than passion. The belief here is Leach can control his words just fine. He simply chooses to not always do so.
After the Cougars opened the season 2-4, Leach said some of the team’s seniors are “zombie-like” and possess “an empty-corpse quality.”
And people are freaking out at USC because a kid let the air out of some footballs? If Lane Kiffin thinks coaching through NCAA sanctions is tough, he should try coaching the living dead or, even worse, the empty dead.
After Washington State lost again last week to fall to 2-7, Leach characterized his team’s performance as “bordering on cowardice.” He also noted, “That could have been a zombie convention.”
Coaching regular zombies, that’s one thing. But coaching zombies who also are cowards…
Making more than $2 million annually, Leach is the highest-paid employee in the state. He also is empowered by a contract less than a year old.
He definitely is attempting to mock some players into submission, and the strategy is working. So far, 18 Cougars have quit or been thrown off the team since Leach took over.
Asked last week if the new coach is an acquired taste, WSU linebacker Travis Long said, “Yeah, it takes you a little while to get used to him.”
Who knows how much time Leach really has to make it happen up here? Mora thought he had time once, too. Then, all of a sudden, he was a zombie, a member of coaching’s walking dead.
“I regretted it,” Mora said, recalling his “dirtbag” rant. “That wasn’t my style. I stepped out of character. That wasn’t me.”
In that moment, though, that very much was Jim Mora, a nasty nail-eater being frickin’ emotional.

A Bout Symposium on Carbon Positive Future
“The Climate is Changing. So should we.”― United Nations University – EHS
Carbon emissions have been rising globally since the beginning of 1900 contributing to climate change. With the building sector responsible for about 40% of carbon emissions in the world, it is urgent to re-think our actions and design towards meeting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target and completely phasing-out of fossil fuel CO2 emissions by 2050.
We are proud to present this year’s symposium ‘Countdown to a Carbon Positive future’ where we will discuss the latest design tools and best practices through benchmark projects that could help us in achieving the goal of carbon emissions.
This event was hosted on April 6th, 2021 from 13:00 hours CET. You can watch the full video here.
Climate-oriented solution for low-carbon buildings. How can we use the climate to our advantage to design a future-proof zero carbon building?
Digitalization for a circular economy. The European Commission has adopted a new Circular Economy Action Plan. Digitalization for a circular economy holds a great potential to reduce carbon emissions. We need to reuse materials, but how?
Transform & Reuse – Low carbon futures for existing buildings. ‘Demolishing reusable buildings and constructing new ones in their place will only add to stresses on our planet’s finite natural resources. It is time for change on a dramatic scale’- ARUP.
Computation as a tool to reduce carbon emissions. How can we keep track of building data so that future generations can re-use materials?

I just spoke to a friend who competed at the GS Trophy In South America on a 2013 F8. He personally owns (and rides the wheels off) an 09 F8. He said the new WP forks are a huge improvement over the Marzocchi's on the 08-12 bikes. He said they still aren't as good as 48mm WP units but definitely better.

Five Common Misconceptions about ERP Implementations
1. ERP Systems are Too Expensive
There are many businesses that require and can afford an ERP system, but due to a misconception that it’s expensive, either postpone the decision or settle on a cheap and underperforming solution.
Although the costs can seem daunting, companies often recognize significant return by working with a partner that truly understands their business and can pinpoint areas for rapid ROI. High returns can be realized with the increased efficiency and insights an ERP system provides combined with a reduction of overhead hours in many departments.
While many budget-friendly ERP systems exist, if they under-serve employees, they will lead to wasted hours, poor performance, and will create a competitive disadvantage. The long term costs will outweigh any initial savings. Budget for an ERP system and understand the long term benefits can easily outweigh the expense.
2. Choosing an ERP Platform Should be Based on Costs Alone
The Chief Financial Officer should not be the only individual involved in the decision; implementing ERP could be the most important technology decision your business will ever make. The repercussions of choosing an ERP system based on cost alone will lead to poor adoption.
Involve all ERP stakeholders, especially your employees who will be required to adopt the system, and rely on it every day. Too many companies keep an ERP decision to the C-Suite and use cost as the single deciding factor.
3. Custom ERP Systems Are Better
While it’s a heated topic in software, building custom ERP solutions typically leads to a higher cost and more pain down the road. Though you are likely to have several extremely talented ‘IT gurus’, what happens when these gurus leave, taking the source code, or simply the working knowledge of the system, with them?
Building a custom ERP system will rarely compete with the support and robust product roadmaps of companies like Microsoft. These companies are annually investing billions in continual improvements, and they still offer software customization.
4. Implementation Can Be Handled Internally
Implementing an ERP system is no easy task. Your IT department is unlikely to have the necessary certifications or experience. Working with an ERP platform certified partner guarantees the partner maintains certified consultants, the company meets revenue requirements, which indicates experience, and a number of implementations.
Even if you had an internal team qualified to implement an ERP system, do they have the hours to perform their regular job in addition to the implementation? Can they afford the burnout of working overtime and weekends for the months it takes to implement an ERP system? Hire an experienced ERP consulting partner, and your IT department will thank you.
5. Buy Too Much, Too Soon
It’s a common mistake in ERP implementations for companies to buy too much, too soon. Often, this can’t be avoided in SAP or Oracle implementations, as multiple software packages are bundled. This functionality is rarely needed or even used. This also drives up the cost of both implementation and annual maintenance.
Instead, flexibility should be a central requirement in your ERP decision. Look at systems that are flexible, offer multiple integrations with your existing software, and can be implemented gradually. It’s far easier to implement ERP in stages, and reduce the number of stakeholders and departments.

Top five break up songs
We all have to deal with break ups at some point in our lives. I know from personal experience that a hard break up can really bring you down. One way that I discovered to cheer myself up after a break up is music. And because of the nature of relationship endings and their emotional charge there are plenty of songs about break ups, but today I am going to share with you my favorite ones.
5. At the fifth position of my own personal chart I will place “Someone like you” by Adele. I love her voice and I know that this song sounds sad but if you listen to the lyrics you will realize that one break up is not the end of the world. There are plenty of people out there who can be just like your ex or even better than him/her.
4. At number four I” ll put “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce. This song always reminds me that sometimes we give people more than they deserve, and in most cases they become so fool of themselves. But this kind of people are easily replaced because there is always someone willing to use you for his own agendas. True love and true feelings cannot be replaced , therefore something that can be replaced wasn’t meant to be.
3. My number three is one song from the 80’s- “You keep me hangin' on” by Kim Wilde. This song is a classic when it comes to break ups. May be three generations of people with broken hearts found their way to themselves just listening to:” Why don't you get out of my life And let me make abrand-new start?Let me get over youThe way you've gotten over me.”
2. Kelly Clarkson has many songs which can be qualified as “break up songs”: “Since you’ve been gone”, “Never again” and “Stronger” I honestly love them all so I place them at the third position in my personal chart.
1. An the song that has the most catharsiseffect on me is “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera. My favorite phrase in this song is “After all that you put me through, You think I'd despise you, But in the end I wanna thank you, 'Cause you've made me that much stronger. Thank you Christina.
