As you follow along with me, please know this is not an attempt to shove religion down anybody's throat. I still maintain that each person has a right to his/her beliefs. Nobody should be forced into any religious practice. However, I also believe nobody should be denied his right to his religion. And that's where the problem is.
The supposed demand for the "separation of church and state" is to blame. That phrase is listed nowhere in the United States Constitution, and it is certainly not implied by the First Amendment. Nevertheless, that phrase is tossed around as if it is absolute truth.
When I consider the reasoning used by the Supreme Court in their decisions of cases involving religious matters, I wonder what our Founding Fathers would say. However, more than two hundred years have passed since they wrote the Constitution, and the men responsible for this document that Americans consider to be the law of the land cannot defend their positions or their decisions. Thankfully there are many documents we can look to, and we should look to them.
This is the beginning of my First Amendment series. Specifically, I will be discussing the the first portion of the amendment, which deals with religion. My purpose in writing this is mainly to share the knowledge I have gained regarding the intent of our Founding Fathers when they framed the United States Constitution.
Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing what I have learned about our nation's history. This series is meant to be educational, and I hope you will find it to be so. Whenever possible, I will include links so you can verify the information I give. If none are available, I will let you know where I obtained the information. Two books that inspired me to take this stand are America's Providential History and Original Intent. Needless to say, you will see references to both those books.
A new essay will be posted each Friday of the week. I hope you'll follow along.
Coming next Friday... 1. The First Amendment

Jelena Dokic was upset at the Bank of the West Classic on Friday, beaten by qualifier Maria Vento-Kabchi of Venezuela 6-4, 6-3.
Third-seeded Jennifer Capriati nearly lost her composure when a set-deciding line call went against her, but she rallied to beat ninth-seeded Lisa Raymond 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-4 in front of a sellout crowd.
"I was trying not to get frustrated," Capriati said. "I kept serving at a hard pace. She was playing well but I think she was getting a little bit tired."
Kim Clijsters, the second seed, beat unseeded Marie-Gaianeh Mikaelian 4-6, 6-0, 6-1 in another quarterfinal match. Clijsters advanced to the semifinals and will face Francesca Schiavone, who beat Amy Frazier 7-6 (5), 6-3.
"It will be a great match because I know how to play against her," Schiavone said. "She's a fantastic player and I've learned a lot from her."
In the late match, Capriati took charge by winning the final 15 points of the first set, but Raymond responded with a strong second set to force a tiebreaker. Capriati saved three set points before a line call gave the set to Raymond.
Capriati vehemently protested the call, earning a code violation. After a long bathroom break, she emerged with a new outfit and more choice words for the chair umpire.
"I got out what I wanted to get out and I felt better after that," she said.
"I'm not going to let things like that make me lose."
She fell behind 3-1 in the third set, but saved two break points and then started hitting the ball harder. She rolled to the finish, closing out Raymond with a series of big groundstrokes.
"I didn't get enough first serves in when I was up a break in the third set," Raymond said.
"If I believed a little bit I could have been the one standing here the winner. There was some great tennis out there."
Vento-Kabchi, who failed to qualify in her first four events of the year, broke Dokic to go up 4-3 in the second set, then closed the match with five straight points.
"She just didn't miss," Dokic said. "She played a good match and she didn't give me a chance at all. She didn't make many errors."
Vento-Kabchi turned pro full-time nine years ago and will play Capriati in her first major WTA Tour semifinal.
"This feels very special because I had to beat two of the top players in the world right now," said Vento-Kabchi, who defeated eighth-seeded Nadia Petrova in the first round.
"I've been playing great this week and been able to keep my concentration. This is what I needed to gain confidence."
After having difficulty in the first set of her match, Clijsters won 25 of 35 points in the second and was never seriously threatened.
"In the first set she was going for all the shots and everything was going her way," said the second-ranked Clijsters.
"After that I kept breaking her and got more confidence in my return. I feel like I'm moving well and defending good. I'm very happy with the way I'm playing at the moment."

Adam Childress
Adam Childress seeks to harmonize aspects of design, craft, and function into the objects he creates using glass. He often implements a diverse range of process and technique to explore new designs. His work is rooted in an effort to resolve old problems with new solutions, and to appeal to a modern consumer who desires functional objects that seamlessly integrate into the spaces they occupy.
Adam has been honing his skills as a glass maker since 2004. In 2007 he attended the fine arts program at Virginia Commonwealth University while studying history. In the subsequent years he continued working in various studio environments with a range of artists, artisans, craftspeople, and designers, which led to commissions and installations and producing work for the retail market.
He relies on two distinct hot glass disciplines to create his work. The furnace glass process and lampworking process vary in approach and material use; however, both are linked to a long-standing tradition of using hand tools to manipulate hot glass in a studio environment. Adam seeks to maintain the connection to traditional methods in order to produce hand-made items that encourage thoughtfulness in our daily rituals.

Last week LGiU were able to get an updated insight into how ready services for young people are when it comes to engaging with social media for youth engagement. Through a national survey of over 130 local authorities, we've built up a picture of whether or not services are 'Equipped to Engage' – a Prezi presentation of which can be found here.
- Less than half of organisations are actively using social media tools like Facebook, Twitter and Skype in their work;
- Just 25% of organisations are using social media in youth work and/or social work contexts;
- Social media has gained popularity as a broadcast tool, but continued gaps in policy frameworks, training and support mean that many services are not able to take advantage of social media as a two-way communication and engagement tool;
- Social networking sites remain blocked in around 1/2 of all local authorities. Just 25% of organisations have social media training and support available to staff, and under 20% have clear policies on the use of social media for youth engagement.
- Organisations see the importance of social media, and plan to use it more, but there remain a range of development needs before the full benefits of social media can be realised.
Overall, whilst these responses indicate some progress since the last LGIU survey of local authority social media use for youth engagement, carried out in 2008, the gap between the potential for services to make digital tools part and parcel of their practice, and the reality, remains significant. The use of digital tools remains limited, and many practitioners continue to face barriers to social media adoption, or lack support to make effective use of what are perceived to be cost-effective routes to engage with citizens: both young people and adults alike.
With central government top-down support or policy are social media use unlikely (and unwanted by many respondents) the challenge remains for local authorities and agencies supporting them to continue to develop support offerings to take social media use from niche to mainstream; overcoming barriers and promoting positive, effective use of free and low cost digital tools.
The results in detail
Who responded?
We had responses from right across the UK. You can see the distribution of responses in the graph below.
*click on the graph for a much clearer look
The majority of responses (over 90%) come from first or second tier local authorities, with a few responses from health and police services. Respondents included council officers and councils, and 137 different councils were represented in the responses.
200 respondents provided full answers to the first section of the survey (on personal and work use of social networking), with 134 offering their responses to a number of statements and questions about particular groups engaged through social network sites.
Who is using what?
Just under 60% of respondents were using Facebook personally, with YouTube (54%), Skype (35%) and Twitter (31%) and Flickr (21%) also used in a personal capacity by respondents. When it came to using social media for work, 40% report making use of Facebook, 37% report using Twitter, 30% YouTube, and 15% Flickr. Skype is used by just 4% in work contexts, although the IDEA Communities of Practice (COP) platform is used by 35% of respondents at work.
We asked how social media was being used in respondents organisations. Youth engagement was the most popular focus of social media use (40%) alongside use of social media for particular services to communicate with their service users (39.5%), and social media use for engagement, consultation and participation (37.5%). 25% of respondents said social media was being used by youth workers or social workers and just 11% reported social media being used for internal communication with staff.
Action Learning Set contributor Carl Haggerty has highlighted the important role that internal social media use can play in building social media awareness and skills. The low number of services making use of social media for internal communicate indicates a big missed opportunity.
Specific groups
The majority of organisations are using social media in less than 1/4 of their different projects and programmes, highlighting that social media remains either niche, or is being used in particular targetted contexts. We asked about the specific groups that organisations are working to reach through social media.
Just under 25% have specifically sought to engage young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) through social media, the largest particular target group amongst those we asked about. Online engagement with young adults, and with pupils were also noted by over 20% of respondents, and 14% of respondents noted their organisations are engaging with young people in care through social media; 12% are engaging with young carers, and 11% with care leavers.
Future plans to engage were less certain, with online engagement with parents and guardians the most popular focus for future engagement (15%) and 13% of organisations looking towards further future engagement with young people Not in Education, Employment or Training.
What are the barriers?
We asked respondents to list three key barriers to social media use in their organisations:
- A lack of understanding, both amongst officers and managers was highlighted as the most significant barrier.
- Fear of technology, and of the unknowns of social media was also a very commonly identified barrier.
- Restrictive IT policies and out of date IT equipment (including out of data web browsers) remain a barrier in many organisations.
- Risk aversion, limits on time and capacity and an absence of policies and leadership are all holding back social media adoption in many services.
- A number of respondents highlighted a perception amongst managers or councillors that social media could only be used to engage 'a select few' – something not bourne out with respect to youth engagement by the statistics on how many young people use social media spaces, and the experience of practitioners using social media for youth engagement.
What are the drivers?
We also asked respondents about the factors driving engagement with social media:
- The cost effectiveness of social media channels was by far the most cited driver for social media use;
- Many cited the value of social media for engaging with specific groups – from young people to working parents.
- Respondents varied between those focussing on the value of social media as a broadcast too – to get the message out, and those focussed on the conversational value of social media – potentially reflecting different cultures within local authorities.
- A number of respondents noted increasing demand for social media engagement from service users.
Are the foundations in place?
We asked respondents to indicate whether a number of statements were true in their organisations:
- Access – Social networks remain blocked for 50% of respondents, and 37% of respondents said it was easy to get permission to use social media. Those in organisations where access is blocked are less likely to find it easier to get permission for social media use.
- Use – 55% of respondents said there are only a few social media users in their organisation, and 37% noted their social media use is mainly 'broadcast' rather than conversational. Less than 10% said that social media was just for youth engagement, a shift from early studies of local authority social media engagement where it was more directly seen as connected directly with 'youth'.
- Support – 40% of respondents identified their organisation have clear policies on social media use, but just 19% have clear policy on youth engagement through social media. Anecdotal evidence suggests many policies are coming from corporate communications functions within authorities – and some, by not taking into account the needs of youth participation officers and youth workers, can create new barriers to online young engagement rather than removing them. 30% of respondents said staff were encouraged to use social media.
- Experience – 50% of respondents suggested their organisations were getting better at social media engagement, and 47% or respondents said their organisation had positive experiences of using social media. 10% identified they had had bad experiences of social media use.
Asked about attitudes towards social networks, respondents on average agreed that they would be making more use of social media in 2011; that social networks were vital for youth engagement; and that networks were cheap and effective tools for engagement. However, respondents were not agreed on the availability of evidence on cost effectiveness of social media.
Respondents disagreed with the statement 'The risks of using social network sites to communicate with children and young people outweigh the benefits'.
What's needed next?
We asked respondents to rank a range of interventions that could support further development of social media use in their organisations. The ranking is shown below.
1) Training for practitioners
2) Better research on cost savings
3) Case studies from similar organisations
4) Local policies and guidance
5) Better research on the benefits
6) Training for managers
7) Regular briefings on new developments
8) Central government guidance
9) An awards ceremony for good practice
A number of other suggestions were made, including training for managers.
Methodology and Data
The data was collected through an online survey, created using Survey Monkey, and available between the start of February and mid-March 2011. Invitations to respond were circulated to a list of approximately 2000 contacts of the Local Government Information Unit, and through a variety of other e-mail lists and networks. The sample is likely to include a self-selection bias in favour of those with an interest in social media (positive or negative). Given the profile of invitees, respondents may not have direct involvement in youth services, but should have a general awareness of social media use within their organisations.
Results were analysed in R by Tim Davies. Raw data files and scripts are available on request. A code list of questions and variable names is available here. A selection of extracts from the data are made available on IBM Many Eyes as open data to allow for further analysis.

|Equipped to Engage – Social Media, Youth Services, Local Govt UK
The matrix chart visualisation option in particular should allow for useful multi-variable analysis for a number of questions. Please use this data in conjunction with the code list to understand the questions that generate each variable value.
This is a guest post from Tim Davies who has been working closely with the LGiU on our exploration into youth engagement,social media and service delivery.

A dangerous fallacy persists that a constant stress is a natural human condition. Stress has become an integral part of modern society. We witness the instability of the economic system, military conflicts and threats, political games, corruption, and other factors that make a person's life more alarming and restless.
Stress = Lack of Financial Security (LFS)
The lack of financial security is the INABILITY of a person to confront existing and emerging dangers and threats: dismissal, loss of income, inflation, etc.
This "virus" has spread across the whole planet and continues its victorious procession, dragging more and more victims into its networks. The fact is that most people and families on our planet (alike most governments) live in debt and fail to balance their expenses and incomes.
Many people argue that it is impossible to do anything with the Lack of Financial Security Virus, but we are sure that this is just a dangerous fallacy.
Confidence = Financial Security
First of all, financial security is the absence of danger; the absence of any threats. Security is the ABILITY of a person to protect vital interests: home, work, hobbies, social circle and everything that gives a person pleasure in life.
We carefully studied the area of financial security. Being one of the world experts in this field, we affirm that financial security is a matter of human ABILITIES.
What needs to be done?
In his video message on 25.04.2018, the President of the company Dmitriy Aksyonov revealed what needs to be done to achieve Financial Security.
Watch the video message: THE PATHWAY TO FINANCIAL SECURITY
"The practice of financial security is not about earning or not earning money. It's also not about spending money or not spending money.
The practice of financial security lies in a specific and reasonable way of doing things."

- ITS 86 FROM BERRY'S STORE IN WEST FORKS, HEADING EAST TOWARD GREENVILLE. Good riding. Intown trails are a bit rough and hard. Better once out of town. There is a logging operation along a short section of the intown trail. Skidders can be crossing the trail, so be careful through there.
- BALD MOUNTAIN TRAIL. Very good shape all the way through from ITS 86 to ITS 87.
- BREAKNECK RIDGE TRAIL. Closed for the season due to heavy logging and plowed roads on the Blanchard end.
- ITS 87 HEADING SOUTH TOWARD BINGHAM. Very good riding. This trail winds around the base of Moxie Mountain for several miles, with spectacular views of the rocky summit. There is also fine off trail riding in the basin on the west side of the mountain, with expansive views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Bigelow Range.
- PLEASANT POND TRAIL. Great shape all the way through from ITS 87 to the Bald Mountain Trail. This trail and ITS 87 make a great mountain loop, with outstanding scenery of Moxie Mountain, Pleasant Pond Mountain and Bald Mountain.
- KENNEBEC RIVER TRAIL. Good riding all the way through from Northern Outdoors to Berry's Store in West Forks. Very scenic trail along the Kennebec River.
As it stands now, we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground. That means we are set up for outstanding riding well into March and possibly some of April. Get out and enjoy another great Maine snowmobiling season!
For day trippers, there is a FREE PARK AND RIDE LOT at Northern Outdoors Resort on Route 201. Gas, trail maps, food, restrooms and trail info are available right at the Lodge. Call 888-770-SLED for details.

Four Reasons Refinancing Makes Sense
Today's low mortgage rates may have you considering a refinance of your home's mortgage. Is it a wise move to trade your current mortgage for a new one? Here are four good reasons why refinancing may be the right decision.
- Your interest rate will be lower. Mortgage rates change from year to year, so the rate you're paying on your mortgage may be higher than current mortgage rates. A lower rate may save you thousands of dollars in interest over the life of your loan.
- Your mortgage payment will be less. Refinancing lowers your mortgage rate, which can also lower your monthly payment. Depending on the difference between your current mortgage rate and your new one, refinancing may reduce your mortgage payment by hundreds of dollars each month. This creates additional cash flow that can be used for home improvements, paying off credit cards, saving for retirement and other purposes.
- You can move to a fixed-rate mortgage. If you currently have an adjustable-rate mortgage, refinancing to a fixed-rate home loan is the way to get a predictable mortgage payment for the long term. Locking in a fixed rate at today's favorable numbers offers protection from rising interest rates.
- You can get cash from your equity. You don't have to sell your property to have access to the equity you've accrued. A cash-out refinance allows you to use this equity as you wish (to pay for debt consolidation, college expenses, home improvements or other needs). You can borrow up to 80 percent of your available equity. You should be aware, however, that a cash-out refinance increases your mortgage balance, often resulting in higher monthly payments.
There's a lot to consider if you're planning on refinancing your home. The mortgage professionals at American Portfolio Mortgage can help you weigh the advantages and determine if refinancing your mortgage is the right move. We can assist you through the entire process, from application to successful closing.

Risk associated with investing in life settlements
Life settlements often benefit both parties involved. Sellers are relieved from monthly premium payments – and at much more favorable prices than their insurer would offer.
The buyer receives a return based on how much longer the insured individual lives. A recent report by the Wall Street Journal indicated the fraud risk inherent in this investment, as doctors, policyholders and settlements providers and brokers may deceive buyers.
"Among the reasons a life insurance policy could be declared invalid: The insured lied about his health on the application, or obtained the policy with the intention of selling it in a life settlement," the report said.
If the policyholder exceeds his or her life expectancy, investors are also responsible for paying premiums. The risk is smaller for those buying into a pool of life settlements, according to the report, because a significant number of individuals would have to exceed their life expectancies before overall rates rise.
This, however, puts investors at the mercy of their peers: If one investor neglects to pay premiums, expenses for all the others go up.
Many critics of life settlements dislike the idea of benefiting from another person's death. They are also significantly more expensive than many other investment opportunities available to individuals.

My first food memory is making cookies with my mom, in particular, Christmas cookies. I can't remember a childhood Christmas when I wasn't in the kitchen with her. At first she would only let me dip the cookies in sugar, coconuts or nuts. Then I graduated to making the thumbprint cookies. I would delicately insert my thumb into the raw dough, making sure each impression was exactly the same. I was in bakers' heaven when she finally let me form them before baking. Imagine my delight when I could use the mixer and actually MAKE the batter!
At age 8, I was possessive of the kitchen and my baking equipment like most girls are of their Barbies. When my sister and brother came to help, I barked orders at them and gave them "gofer" tasks. (humm, no wonder they don't come into the kitchen to help, even now).
My mother laughed at my meticulousness and ignored my bossy behavior. As I got older she let me take on more of the baking responsibilities, and even let me add a new recipe to the list each year. We gave cookies away to friends and family, making and giving away more and more each year. Friends requested cookies as soon as Thanksgiving was over. When I moved on to another job, the first question a coworker asked was, "Will I still get Christmas cookies?" By the time I was 20, our Christmas cookie-making became an elaborate process. We made over a dozen different kinds and around 1000 cookies each year.
The kitchen was not only filled with the sweet scents of cinnamon, chocolate, toasted nuts and sugar, but there was a melody of laughter, song, and good-natured heckling that filled the room. I tried to sing Christmas carols and my mom would come back with stinging comments rivaling any by Simon Cowell. Our banter would ping pong back and forth as we rolled, dropped, cut and baked cookie after cookie. Christmas meant cookie-making with my mom, more than anything else, even Santa Claus or a decorated tree.
This is the sixth year that my mom has been absent from the Christmas kitchen. She passed away in 2003 from lung cancer. The first year, baking without her alone in a silent kitchen was unbearable. Nothing came out right. Too many tears went into the biscotti dough, and it was too wet to bake. Each year, I continue to bake (maybe not as much as before), and it gets easier. I have great memories of our baking together, and they have filled her spot in the kitchen. Only physically absent, she is still in each cookie I bake. All I've learned, all the memories, and the joy of baking together are still there. She also taught me to share what I make, so now I'm sharing with you.
Of the various cookies we've made over the years, these snowball cookies are the most requested of friends and family. They have several names, Russian Tea Cakes, Mexican Wedding Cakes, and Italian Wedding Cakes. In our family, we call them snowballs, because, well, that's what they look like. I hope you make and/or share them with someone you love.
Christmas Snowball Cookies
(Makes about 4 dozen)
1 1/2 cups butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups roughly chopped toasted almonds
About 2 cups powdered sugar for dusting over the cookies
Cream the butter and the sugar in a stand mixer. Once the mixture is creamy, add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated. Add the vanilla with the last egg.
Sift together the flour and salt, and add to the creamed mixture. Mix together on low just until the flour is combined. Add the chopped almonds and mix just until incorporated. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and roll about a tablespoon of dough into a ball (Each ball should be about one inch in diameter.) Bake for 20-22 minutes, until lightly golden on the bottom. After you remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar. After they cool completely, give them another dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
What are some of your fondest baking or cooking memories?

AfterSchool Program
The AfterSchool Program targets those hours after school where parents might not be at home and children are at their most vulnerable. These tend to be the hours in which most disruptive behavior occurs; but by providing children with homework assistance, snacks, and interactive classes, we hope to minimize those types of activities while promoting education and their general wellbeing.
The program is based in two different neighborhoods in Copán Ruinas and is available to first- through sixth-graders in the public school system. Each year our AfterSchool Program serves approximately 80 children and employs 16 local youth.
During the year we also have special events which include a trip to a water park, a spelling bee, Mother's and Father's Day events, and educational trips to different cities in Honduras.

Young people and the conscience could do it if there was a revolution like in Paris. But does the young man have the power to do something? It is not so, because it is primitive and primitive, like a finger. The character of one's man is the one who demands. The gender of women is swollen like a finger. A woman, one thing to do, be a good thing, if she is not kidding, she is nothing. And most of the ferfi, just a bloated disciple. Such people do not have anything, and that's a big deal. It was not the sex I was scolding. They are smeared with hormone-treated husses and food but are so primitive they do not come. That's a big deal.

Ring mods make the *coolest* tremolos. Not only do they sound slightly different (and better, IMO) but you have the ability to substitute your own modulator waveform.
Try using the square wave out of the Rouge (tuned very low) as the modulator signal in the Blue Ringer; or better yet, modulate the pulse width if the Rouge lets you. Fantastic fun!

Medical imaging moves to the plant floor
Imaging technologies such as computerized tomography (CT), which won Peter Mansfield and Paul Lauterbur the Nobel Prize for medicine last month, have proven instrumental in diagnosing many illnesses. As pharmaceutical companies refine process analytical technologies (PAT), similar imaging technologies may soon be used routinely to optimize production of the medicines used to treat those ills.
A number of R&D projects are now underway to evaluate medical imaging techniques for pharmaceutical manufacturing "patients." In the U.S., Pfizer Corp. (New York) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have launched a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) that could take near-infrared imaging to the shop floor for formulations development, process scale up, monitoring and control, quality assurance and verification of packaged product.
Where NIR spectroscopy, a well established lab technique, measures a single spectrum of a sample presented to it, NIR imaging takes multiple spectra from discrete points within the sample, providing a spectroscopic map of the sample. "We intend to take imaging based on lab-based spectroscopic techniques and apply it on line, throughout products' lifecycles" says Norman Winskill, vice-president of global manufacturing services at Pfizer. Pfizer and FDA plan to have an experimental NIR unit on line at a pilot plant in New Jersey within the next six months, with commercial instrumentation available within two years.
The CRADA is part of FDA's push to commercialize PAT and update its current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). NIR, like CT scanning, has become established in medicine for studying the brain and other parts of the human body, and analyzing ailments such as tumors.
Pfizer first began to use NIR spectroscopy in its pharmaceutical manufacturing operations back in the 1980s, to monitor and troubleshoot specific reactions. By 1990, the company had formed a dedicated NIR group, and roughly five years ago, began to evaluate mid-IR, acoustic and Raman spectroscopy as well.
One important goal of the CRADA is to automate quality control so that testing occurs during processing, rather than as a separate adjunct to each process step. NIR imaging offers the benefit of being able to analyze all components within a given solid, including active ingredient, lubricant and disintegrant simultaneously. When solids are dissolved in solution to prepare samples for HPLC or other analysis, solid-solid interactions are destroyed or reduced. NIR allows these interactions, instead, to be analyzed, providing much more data on bioavailability, Winskill says. Sample-preparation and laboratory test time also are eliminated.
Last year, at its Brooklyn, N.Y. plant, Pfizer installed a battery-powered, radio-communicating NIR spectrometer to take continuous online readings from a blender. The unit, controlled by a PC in another room, featured a sample-reading head that automatically collected between 200 and 300 milligrams of material from the blender. Readings allowed Pfizer technicians to track not only one, but all ingredients in the blend in real time. The installation achieved in one minute what would otherwise have required taking eight samples and running HPLC analyses on each, to determine product uniformity, explained Steve Hammond, head of the NIR group within Pfizer's global manufacturing services, at FDA's PAT Initiative meeting last year.
The company is also working with Bruker Optics (Billerica, Mass.) and Schleuniger Pharmatron of Switzerland to develop a fully automated, integrated system that would scan tablets directly at the tablet press, testing 300 tablets at a time, rather than the 10 typically tested using conventional methods. In evaluations at a company plant in Australia, the technology was used to trace problems with a specific batch, and ultimately found that a transfer chute was causing segregation in the blend, Hammond explained at the meeting. Traditional testing would have taken much longer to trace the cause of the problem.
Pfizer has worked extensively with other vendors such as Spectral Dimensions (Olney, Md.), and, previously, with academic researchers at London's University College and Imperial College to develop its in-house NIR imaging technology.
Meanwhile, in the U.K., pharmaceutical major GlaxoSmithKline is looking closely at the CT imaging offshoot, electrical resistance tomography (ERT), as a process-development tool. The company discussed its work at the third World Congress on Industrial Process Tomography held in Banff, Alberta, Canada in late September 2003. Leading chemical processing companies, including Johnson Matthey Catalysts and Syngenta, also presented results of applying ERT at the conference.
Based on lab-scale studies, Glaxo concludes that ERT technology can provide the mixing time data needed to characterize reactors and other process vessels more effectively than existing method. The technique can also be used to validate computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models. The company has used ERT online to monitor ethyl acetate hydrolysis, a single-phase process, in a 3.5-l reactor that mimicked pilot-plant equipment and operating conditions as closely as possible. Glaxo is now evaluating ERT on multi-phase systems. Supplying the imaging equipment and know-how for this work is Industrial Tomography Systems (ITS), a company spun off by the University of Manchester's Institute of Science and Technology, U.K., specifically to develop the commercial potential of ERT.
How ERT Works
Glaxo, working with Imperial College London, arranged platinum electrodes symmetrically in planes around the circumference of a model glass reactor. Glass was chosen for its transparency and because it is commonly used to line pilot- and full-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing vessels. Platinum was used because of its high chemical resistance and because its thermal expansion coefficient is close to that of glass.
The 16 electrodes in each plane were repeatedly oven-fired, ensuring minimal protrusion into the process fluid to avoid disturbing the flow. During trials, current applied in a very fast predetermined sequence between the electrodes provided data which, fed through a specially-written algorithm, gave a real-time picture of material distribution in that plane on a computer screen. Using electrodes in several planes offered a 3-D view of the whole reactor (Image). In mixing evaluations, ERT can cover the whole vessel, rather than summing values taken in many different locations, as with other techniques using local conductivity probes.
Monitoring a Reaction
Ethyl acetate hydrolysis was chosen for testing ERT because the hydroxide ions consumed and acetate ions produced during the reaction have very different conductivities, and ERT can track the change. Glaxo compared the ERT results in a stirred tank with a tried-and-tested on-line monitoring technique: Raman spectroscopy. Starting materials and products have different Raman spectra. Trials made allowance for the relative insensitivity of the Raman system and its long spectrum acquisition time, but the graphs of conversion against time for the two systems were virtually identical.
ITS is working to make ERT more flexible, so that users won't have to line electrodes around a vessel and wire them up. Along with the glass-lined reactor manufacturer, Pfaudler, ITS is developing a glass Optomix probe (Photo) that would be placed inside a glass-lined reactor, and would play the same role as a baffle. The Optomix electrodes would perform the same function as those on the circumference of the vessel, but the data-conversion algorithm would take their different geometries into account. The probe promises greater flexibility and could be used in any vessel where two phases, such as solids and liquids, are being mixed or are reacting together.

A Bright Future for Bioseparations
According to October forecasts by Business Communications Co. (BCC), Norwalk. Conn., demand for bioengineered protein drugs will move from nearly $40 billion this year to almost $71 billion by 2008; monoclonal antibody demand will account for most of that growth. Demand for separations technologies in the U.S., meanwhile, should grow from $2.1 billion today to $3.6 billion by 2008. (Bar graph)
Filtration suppliers adapt to bioprocessing needs
Filtration specialists are developing new products, or adapting existing ones to the biotech market, all aiming to allow manufacturers to streamline complex bioprocesses, reduce scale-up costs and simplify regulatory compliance. At September's Biophex/Interphex show in San Jose, Calif., in late September, a number of innovations in disposable single-use filtration systems were showcased by Camarillo, Calif.-based Meissner Filtration Products Inc., Millipore Corp. (Billerica, Mass.) and Pall Corp. of East Hills, N.Y.
Disposable systems simplify biopharmaceutical process validation, because they eliminate the need to validate sterilization and clean-in-place procedures, according to Suraj Baloda, Ph.D., group manager for process microbiology and sterile applications at Millipore. In addition, he says, the systems reduce cleaning downtime, filter assembly and cleaning costs.
By minimizing operator intervention, disposables ensure ultraclean processing. Typically, such systems are presterilized, or, at least presterilizeable via autoclave or gamma irradiation, and many are designed to fit easily into multistage filtration systems. Meissner's UltraCap single-use disposable capsule filter, for example, features a T-style configuration.
Disposable fittings, such as Millipore's Lynx ST, Pall's Kleenpak and St. Paul, Minn.-based Colder Products' Steam-Thru also were showcased. Millipore takes an integrated approach to disposable aseptic fill and finish processing solutions. Its Lynx connector was introduced last July, augmenting a line of disposables including its Opticap filter capsules and SafePass rapid sterile transfer system. Disposable Acerta filling technology is now in advanced beta testing and is expected to be commercially available by the end of this year. Meissner, meanwhile, is focusing on "engineered disposables," customizing disposable filtration systems using UltraCap, which typically features either a SteriLUX polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane.
Membrane filtration suppliers are exploring new bioprocessing markets. Millipore, for example, is developing systems based on its scaleable tangential flow filtration technology (TFF), and integrating TFF with chromatography, virus clearance and sterile filtration for mammalian cell culture, fermentation, plasmid DNA and viral vector-based processes.
Microfiltration systems are being developed to improve virus removal from bioprocess streams. Currently, microfiltration removes viruses effectively, explains Meissner's director of business development, Barry Bardo, but removal typically takes a long time, and requires a large membrane surface area. Meissner currently sells the STyLUX PES membrane, with a high flow rate of 0.04 micronm for virus reduction and is now developing a virus-removal membrane with an even higher flow rate, Bardo says.
Ultrafiltration suppliers, meanwhile, see conjugate vaccine manufacturing as a promising bioprocessing outlet. The technology promises to streamline the 30 or more steps needed to separate and purify the vaccines, according to Ian Sellick, director of product marketing for Pall Biosciences.
Conjugate vaccines require processing a protein portion and a polysaccharide portion, then combining them. Polysaccharides, from the cell wall of the infecting bacteria, when combined with a protein toxoid, help children's immature immune systems recognize and "remember" the required response when exposed to the microbes. Even though conjugate vaccines are widely used in the U.S., expensive manufacturing processes currently limit their distribution worldwide, Sellick says.
One of the most cost-intensive processes is fractionating polysaccharides, or breaking them down into specific size classes so that they can be attached to proteins. Fractionating generally requires size-exclusion chromatography, or staged membrane processing, both of which are expensive and labor-intensive steps. Ultrafiltration offers a simpler, faster method, Sellick says. So far, Pall has developed some cassette holders for semidisposable ultrafiltration membranes, which it also is selling in India and China.
Meanwhile, the PallSep membrane (Photo), based on VSEP technology licensed from New Logic Research, Inc. of Emeryville, Calif., has been tailored to process the plant and animal sources used to manufacture some "transgenic" protein drugs.
PallSep is composed of a sealed stack of flat, circular membrane plates connected by a torsion bar to a seismic mass. A motor applies a controlled torque to the mass so that the membrane stack oscillates at about 60 Hz. This oscillation helps prevent fouling, according to Pall Biosciences' Sellick, since transgenic sources typically contain a high percentage of solids. In competing filtration separation processes, fluid is typically pumped at higher velocities or pressures to prevent fouling. For a typical 400 ft2 installation, Sellick says, PallSep could allow users to save some 30 to 40 percent in capital costs.
Pall is developing a fully enclosed PallSep unit to bring a barrier process to first-stage clarification and recovery, Sellick says, making it easier to meet both FDA and USDA regulations and eliminating workplace odors inherent with some tissue-extraction processes. A disposable cartridge is also being developed for smaller scale units. Several European biotech companies are currently licensing PallSep for transgenic protein drug manufacturing. One biopharmaceutical company has reportedly standardized on PallSep for a new generation of recombinant vaccines.
Research, Training Keep Pace With Puerto Rico's Growing Pharmaceutical Base
Currently 80% of the top-selling drugs in the U.S. are made in Puerto Rico, according to the island commonwealth's industrial development company, PRIDCO. However, that number is soon expected to reach 90%. The island attracted $1.5 billion in biopharmaceutical investments last year, and currently both Abbott Laboratories and Eli Lilly are building major new biotech facilities, expanding existing manufacturing capacity on the island.
New training programs and research facilities will help ensure that the future Puerto Rican pharmaceutical and biotech labor force, some 9,000 science and engineering graduates each year, can meet the challenges of a rapidly expanding manufacturing base. In January, the University of Puerto Rico will begin constructing a Molecular Sciences Complex at its Rio Piedras Campus that is expected to become the island's top research facility. Included will be a laser and spectroscopy facility, biotesting and materials characterization centers, and areas for molecular modelling and computational chemistry.
At its Mayaguez campus, home to the island's Industrial Biotechnology Learning Center (IBLC), the University inaugurated a $350,000 protein spectroscopy laboratory, the first of its kind on the island, last year. GlaxoSmithKline and the National Institute of Health participated in the project, as did scientists from the Mayo Clinic and Northwestern University in the U.S.
At IBLC, Pall Corp. (East Hills, N.Y.) is offering intensive technical training courses focused on enhanced filtration practices during process-scale manufacturing. Students at the Center will attend lectures and receive hands-on training using various types of tangential flow filtration equipment, filtration media and integrity test equipment. "Pall is committed to this emerging market," said Edward Hoare, president of Pall Biopharmaceutical Division, Western Hemisphere. "By sharing our experience and knowledge of process-scale manufacturing, we hope to advance the growth of the Puerto Rican biotechnology community."
The growing biopharmaceutical base adds to a well-established pharmaceutical manufacturing infrastructure that dates back to the 1970s. Currently, the island is home to over 65 pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. Not surprisingly, the Interphex convention is moving to Puerto Rico. Reed Exhibitions will launch its first Interphex on the island on January 29 and 30.
The event will take place at the Caribe Hilton Hotel and Resort in San Juan. Sponsored by the Society for Life Science Professionals (ISPE), the event will feature a number of workshops and showcase new products and services for professionals based on the island, and their peers around the world.
Of particular interest is a conference on Risk-Based Approach to cGMP, to be led by Paul D'Eramo, executive director of Johnson & Johnson, on the 29th. On the 30th, separate programs will focus on packaging issues, enhancing pharmaceutical maintenance, 21 CFR Part 11, and current trends in biotechnology. For more information, visitwww.interphexpuertorico.com.
The following Pharmaceutical Manufacturing advertisers are among companies that will be at the show, exhibiting at the booth numbers indicated:
AES Clean Technology (106), AdvantaPure (119), Allegheny Bradford Corp. (201), AssurX, Inc. (610), DuPont (419), FabTech Inc.

When I first started this site, my goal was to provide NGSS-aligned curriculum and instructional materials, plus some teaching ideas, to science teachers who were struggling to find resources that were truly aligned to the standards.
As our Facebook community grew and I interacted with more and more teachers, I realized that what everyone really needs is the training to create NGSS-aligned curriculum and resources for their own classrooms. We are all teaching so many different subjects, grades, and standards — there was no way I could help everyone by just creating resources.
So I started exploring the idea of providing training on the NGSS, and last night, I did my first online workshop — Conceptual Shifts: The New Science Mindset. If you would like to see the replay, click here. That said, one hour of time is just a drop in the bucket, and many teachers may be looking for additional training and guidance.
Enter Science Teacher Tribe and the NGSS Your Science Class course, launching August 1.
If you are in the thick of implementing NGSS in your own science class and are looking for support in the transition, the NGSS Your Science Class course may be for you. In addition to 12 weeks of lessons, the course also includes complete access to the Science Teacher Tribe community and growing library of NGSS-aligned resources.
Course topics include: bundling standards; creating storylines; choosing anchoring phenomena; using performance expectations to create assessment tasks; three dimensional learning; deep dives into the 5E Model; formative assessments; content literacy strategies and writing in the science classroom; and differentiating for all learners.
Course material will be presented through a weekly video workshop, accompanying resources for planning and classroom use, a weekly virtual PLC meeting where we can actually interact face-to-face, and personal feedback on the units, lessons, and instructional materials you develop.
Check out the course and Science Teacher Tribe here. Keep in mind, the resource library is growing and will include all of the resources currently available at my TeachersPayTeachers store by August 1 – plus additional resources that are currently in the works. And don't delay too long – membership pricing will increase as the library grows.
If you have questions about the growing content (topics, disciplines, grade levels), please email me at email@example.com and I can let you know if my resources would be a good fit for your classroom.
Likewise, if you have questions about group pricing for the course or site for your science teachers at the school or district level, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

RIO de JANEIRO — The Olympics seek to promote three key values: excellence, friendship and respect. It thus follows logically that the Olympic ideal seeks to realize the best in each of us on the grounds that doing so makes all of us, together, better.
Sport has rules. These rules mean that a soccer game in Brussels is the same as a soccer game in Seoul is the same as a soccer game in Wichita.
In the person of Caster Semenya, the runner from South Africa who on Saturday night at Olympic Stadium dominated the women's 800m, winning in 1:55.28, these two big ideas clash.
It is entirely unclear how these tensions could — or should — be resolved.
It is in the person of Semenya that sport stands at one of its new frontiers — at the intersection of science, cultural norms and evolving standards of gender fluidity.

site dedicated to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) companies seeking a
supplier of gas fired infra-red ceramic burners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Brought to you by:
We've put together a
list of frequently asked questions and answers. From questions on
maintenance to tips on trouble shooting, this reference will help to
enrich your experience.
For technical,
service or maintenance related questions not listed below please
click here to email us for more information.
How does infra-red
radiant energy work?
Infra-red radiant energy works like the sun and is one of the
most commonly known sources of energy. In scientific terms, infra-red
is a form of electromagnetic energy found in the same spectrum that
includes visible light, radio waves and microwaves. A gas fired
infra-red burner emulates the efficiency of the sun by generating
radiant energy that is converted into heat when absorbed by objects in
its path.
infra-red burners have any limitations in their application?
Infra-red burners will operate in any
axis that they are placed on. Facing up, down, or on their side does not
affect their ability to produce infra-red energy. However, there are
two considerations that must be kept in mind. First, the means of
ignition to be used in relationship to burner orientation must be
evaluated. Some spark ignition or pilot systems do not work well in
certain burner orientations. Second, the burner orientation in
relationship to physical or operational characteristics must be
considered. Burners need to be placed within the appliance to avoid
physical damage and accumulation of cooking or processing residue.
What is the lead-time prior to shipment of my custom burner(s)?
This depends on the degree of customization required and the amount of
tooling needed to meet those needs. Though it is difficult to
estimate lead-times on products requiring tooling, for those that are
a simple variation of our standard product offering, initial product
would be available in a few short weeks from placement of your
original order. In the case of blanket purchase orders, your shipping
date requirements will be met.
Can Detroit Radiant Products provide me
with a custom designed burner other than those available on
Certainly! From a tooling standpoint, we are limited to the basic
burner designs offered (burner length and width, for instance).
However, an application specific design can be produced when a
customer has quantity requirements that justify the tooling cost
involved. If you have a specific requirement, please contact us at
586-756-0950. We would be glad to advise you on the feasibility of
your proposed design, offer any suggestions we may have, and quote
based on that design, including any tooling costs.
What is Detroit Radiant's warranty coverage?
Detroit Radiant Products offers a limited 90 day warranty on all
How do I clean the burners?
Ceramic burners should be kept clean for optimal performance. Remove
dust and debris from emitter surface by using low pressure air or a
low pressure vacuum. Remember that ceramic burners are fragile and
are subject to breakage if struck with an object. Do not use high
pressure air to clean the burner (will remove the gasket material) and
keep in a dry area.
Is freight included in the quotation?
Freight is not included in our quotations. All items ship FOB Warren,
MI 48089 Class 85.
What are the normal surface temperatures of a ceramic burner while
Normal temperature will be between 1400 and 1650 degrees F. Secondary
re-radiating surfaces may enhance maximum temperatures to 1850 degrees
Does Detroit Radiant
Products sell to end users?
No. ProcessBurners.com is set-up to provide burners for OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturers) only or burner distribution outlets. We
cannot supply burners to end users or for individual projects.
Does Detroit Radiant
Products provide design services?
Detroit Radiant Products will be happy to assist in designing a burner
to meet your requirements. However, we do not assist in appliance or
process application designs.
Are the burners
explosion proof?
No. Ceramic process burners operate with an open flame surface and
are not considered explosion proof. It is important to always
maintain clearances to combustibles and to provide adequate
ventilation (3.9 CFM /1000 BTU Natural Gas) (4.5 CFM /1000 BTU
Propane Gas).
Are the burners CSA
No, process burners cannot be individually approved. The burners must
be approved as part of the complete appliance.
Are custom burners
If a burner shown on www.processburners.com does not suit your
needs, please contact us to discuss your application. Detroit Radiant
Products is willing to design and tool for large volume or long-term
contract commitments.
Is ceramic material the
only available emitter?
While our standard production is only set-up to manufacture burners
with a ceramic emitter surface other emitter technology is available.
Custom combustion surface enhancements and other burner technologies
such as ceramic re-radiating devices, wire mesh and woven ceramic
fabric (WCF) may be available.
Gas-Fired burners are factory tested
atmospherically. Operational performance may vary upon the

Entry for May 30, 2006
Almost a week after taking vitamin E supplements and I'm noticing a difference. Not with the nervous system, but with my skin. On the top of my chest, I have always had oily skin and a few small zits. I never go anywhere without a shirt on so what do I care? But since I've taken the vitamin E, the difference in my skin is incredible. Not only has the small zits cleared up, but my skin all over is so smooth I can't believe the difference.
Imagine people who are deficient in vitamin E, buying skin care lotions to make their skin beautiful and soft, and I'm sure these products do. But what happens when they stop using it? The skin returns back to the way it was before and so they go back and keep buying the product. They are covering a symptom and not getting to the root cause of the problem.
Came across this article in the paper this morning. Bill Cameron went to the doctor for heartburn, coughing and hiccups. Simple symptoms that maybe people wouldn't even bother going to see a doctor and later he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. What's the point of going to a doctor if they can't put all of the symptoms together and recognize the early symptoms of cancer?
Spreading esophageal awareness
The slight weakening in Bill Cameron's voice, his heartburn, coughing and the bouts of hiccups were all treated as individual complaints. But when the journalist couldn't swallow, a doctor did a biopsy and told him he had esophageal cancer.
After hearing the grim news, Cheryl Hawkes, Cameron's wife, was asked by the doctor: How did this get so far? Her husband died nine months after being diagnosed.
She came up with the idea to make May 31 esophageal cancer awareness day. She went to see her city counsellor. He took it to Mayor David Miller, who liked the idea and proclaimed the day.
Esophageal cancer is most curable when diagnosed early. But since early symptoms are either non-existent or include mild heartburn or coughing bouts, the cancer is usually more advanced when diagnosed, the People Living with Cancer website (www.plwc.org) reports.

Event Details: This party is full of perverted ideas. Wandering and wanking is ok at Myself! (PS. Please do NOT drip on the floor.) We're very exhibitionist and voyeur friendly. The party name is Myself! to emphasize the personal nature of this party. What gets you excited?

Directions and Parking
Gallery Erato is located at 309 1st Ave S. Pioneer Square has free on-street parking after 6pm (more info about street parking here) and paid parking lots, which you can find listed here. This neighborhood is very well served by public transportation, including many bus lines, the streetcar, and the LINK light rail.
There are steep sidewalk cuts in the historic sidewalks of Pioneer Square and a small lip from the brick sidewalk into the Gallery. We have purchased a wheelchair ramp to transition over this lip so that the main floor of our events will be accessible to folks in wheelchairs. Unfortunately, the basement of our space is only accessible via stairs. There are play spaces, refreshments, and restrooms all on the main floor.
