Siren's Song, Book 1, The Keepers of the Legacy Series:
Winner of the Wisconsin Write Touch Readers Award and the FCRW Beacon Award, Siren's Song is an epic romantic adventure that takes readers from the ballrooms of London to pirates on the high seas in this tale full of mystery, love, family and friendships that last a lifetime.
Knife-wielding, shipping heiress Alexandra Stafford, would rather face down a crew of bloodthirsty pirates, than face off against the prim and proper English gentry. Haunted by a powerful prophecy and stalked by an obsessed killer, Alex is a woman on a mission, her only focus to protect her family and finally stop the vicious slave-trader who murdered her parents years ago…that is until the biggest obstacle of her life walks in and she must choose between exacting her revenge or reaching out to a love she never expected.
The duke of Worthington returned to England for a life of peace and quiet, never expecting that the woman of his dreams would lead him on the adventure of a lifetime. When danger escalates, Worthington must prove again and again that there is nothing he won't do for the love of one captivating woman, and risks it all to surrender to the Siren's Song.

—Romance Reviews Today
Moments like this made her life legendary.
Being a practical sort, she preferred being a living legend.
An Arabian guard yanked her thick, long braid, demanding attention she refused to give. Undeterred, he hooked her bound arms, currently tied from behind, and dragged her sideways toward the auction block. It was uncomfortable, not to mention the height of rudeness.
Stumbling, but stubborn to the end, Alexandra Stafford levered bare feet against the hardwood steps and pressed backward against the guard with all her strength, her body nearly horizontal, stretched open to the crowd of attentive buyers.
Another figure sauntered into her peripheral vision and the face of her kidnapper appeared as he bent down nonchalantly to observe her distress. His hand lifted to halt the guard. Tilting his sun-darkened face parallel to hers, he frowned with a disingenuous expression of worry, shaking his head over her situation. The sour smell of tobacco emanated from his breath and skin, and Alex grimaced in disgust, before unleashing her fury.
"I swear if you do this, my family will hunt you down, cut you limb from limb, gut you like a pig, and feed you to the sharks, you miserable, son of a-"
She cut off, choking, as Reginald Paxton blew smoke in her face. Her body convulsed with hacking coughs, and the guard took advantage to yank her back into standing position. Alex kicked out at Paxton with rage, her bare feet doing little damage to the parts she could reach. He laughed. It infuriated her further to think he was laughing at her puny efforts. Once freed, she would kill him. With any luck, a few different ways.
"Tell me where the map is, and I can make this all go away, Miss Stafford."
"I told you." The guard painfully tightened his grip on her. "I don't know anything"-she slammed her heel down on the guard's foot-"about some stupid map."
The guard whacked her in the side of the head, causing her brain to rattle.
Alex faked a recovery she didn't feel, raised her head and smiled.
Incensed, Paxton waved for the man to proceed.
"No! You bastard! I'm an American. I'm a free woman," Alex screamed, fighting violently as she was forced toward the platform. Her efforts were so fierce another guard came to assist.
"Someone help me!" she begged, searching desperately for a sympathetic face or word from the crowd. There were none. Only the foreign sounds of Arabic. She understood enough to heighten her fear, as she was dragged onto the small stage and held in place.
In her short life she'd had many roles-daughter, heiress, sea captain, and now she thought bleakly, slave. Boston was a lifetime away and she was at the wrong end of a sale gone bad. Very bad. Fear no longer prickled the hairs at the back of her neck, but suffocated the life from her with dizzying force. She swore to kill Paxton for this-if her father didn't get to him first.
Forcing self-pity aside, she took stock of escape options.
They appeared dismal at best.
To her left, the door she entered was protected by a long hallway of armed guards. Paxton stood aside waiting to collect his earnings for the night. She had not been his only sale, but the other woman had appeared blessedly incoherent. Forward, she faced the eyes of a hundred dark predators, staring, eager for conquest. She couldn't breathe without tasting their steamy, musky sweat. Finally, to her right, stairs to a place she didn't want to know about. The place they took the slaves. Her stomach wrenched with dread.
Panic hit hard and fast.
She woke up from her temporary daze and leapt. Unfortunately, the arm encircling her neck caught and tightened. Turning her head sideways inside his grip, Alex bit hard into the salty, hairy flesh. Disgusting, but effective.
A remarkably high-pitched yelp rewarded her efforts before the air at her throat was cut off. Her vision blurred, and her body trembled. The guard gave an inch. She hissed in a sharp breath. The second she regained her focus and footing she spat, "Obviously, your mother didn't teach you any manners, you stinking, filthy, brainless bastard."
She croaked more than cursed, but the slurs felt good nonetheless.
Alex regretted the outburst immediately when a murmur of curiosity, expectation, then appreciation, spread across the room. As if her struggle excited them. Her eyes burned with terror. God help her. They were all animals.
Joshua Leigh looked up at the commotion. He'd been having an exceptional night out with his friends-until now. Right now, he felt sick. His cohorts thought to impress him with admittance to one of the special markets-a Moroccan slave auction. To the buyers, a very civil affair. To the slaves, the beginning of a nightmare.
Joshua raked a hand through his hair, yearning for escape. They had missed most of "the evening's highlights," and thankfully the experience was nearly over.
He surveyed the small square room, crammed with lustful buyers, and suffused in cigar smoke. Although he was in the back, his height gave him a clear view of the makeshift auction block and the buyers eager to make a purchase. They no doubt had experienced every known plea sure and out of boredom sought more. There was no thought of moral consequences. When you were this rich you could control the consequences.
A howl from the barrel-chested guard escorting the current captive caught his attention. The girl choked on a scream, her long braid coming undone, and spilling rich, auburn tresses over her shoulders. A buzz began in the room. Joshua tensed, watching the girl struggle in vain against the enormous creature twice her size.
Witnessing her vulnerability, he was forced to think of his own. Of everything he had worked and sweat for in the last four years. He was making a life for himself. An honest one. One that had nothing to do with his bastard father, and nothing to do with this. His current shipment would put him in the black. If he delivered it on time.
Why then, would the thought of losing it all even come into consideration?
He quickly assessed the possible exits, as was his habit in a tricky negotiation. The trading business was oftentimes dangerous and he knew from experience when to walk away before it got messy.
Every rational thought told him to walk away now.
He looked at the girl again and sighed regretfully, stepping backward to blend more into his surroundings.
Alex continued to look out, not sparing anyone her disdain. If she could remember their faces it would give her focus in the days to come. She fully intended to kill every one of them. In this lifetime. For now, she must face reality and find a way to survive. She was a Stafford after all. She would survive. Somehow, she prayed, she would survive.
Alex cursed every man in Morocco, and then herself for wanting to come here. This trip had been a chance to prove herself. Her first voyage as the youngest captain for Stafford Shipping. True, she had been accompanied by her father's and brothers' ships, but at sea she'd been in charge.
This last month had been all she ever imagined. Of course, many parts of Morocco were crowded, dirty, and dangerous. Her father didn't trust her to go anywhere alone. After the humiliation of being kidnapped, she grudgingly admitted he might be right. If she survived, this current setback could last years. That thought alone was abysmally depressing. She would be forever proving herself.
She licked her lips, parched and desperate for one drop of water. Deep weariness made every limb seem twice its weight. Even her hands ached from the guard's tight hold. Undoubtedly, he had ceased the blood flow to her fingers. Hopelessness caused a burning sensation in her eyes, and her head wilted, causing wild strands of hair to stick to her cheeks. She wanted to give up.
A man came up to her, his personal odor preceding him. She saw only feet and some flowing robes. He was a potential customer, and Alex understood clearly his command that she look up. She also considered it fair enough that she was not in the mood to cooperate.
The buyer was smug and undeterred. He grasped her chin in demand. To be relieved of his touch, she gave in and forced herself to gaze past his stout body. She recognized the words of appreciation as well as the scrutiny up and down meant to denigrate.
Defiance disappeared as she smiled tentatively, forcing herself to look him in the eyes. He froze, surprised, then grinned oafishly. Alex felt not an ounce of remorse at his disconcerted look. If he was that stupid, he deserved what he got.
He was still smiling dimwittedly when the shin of Alex's leg connected with his groin. The guard immediately pulled her back. Using the hold from behind as leverage, Alex jumped up, lifting both her legs, and pushed the man off the stage. There was a gratifying thump. A rush of satisfaction gave her new strength.
The fallen man got up with a murderous look. Joshua started instinctively, then stopped. He needn't have worried. The "goods" were well protected, and the humiliated buyer was escorted aside amid laughter and lusty admiration.
His stomach twisted again as the girl straightened her back and lifted her head. Her eyes sparkled clear and pure, and her hair was the color of rich cherrywood with a warmth and texture that lured him, even through the dirty haze of smoke. She was young, which might account for her somewhat strange clothing-a tailored shirt, that could have been designed for a man, was torn at the throat, revealing more than it was meant to. Her skirt was not a skirt, but loose gentleman's pants that must have been made to order. A large belt cinched them at her waist with a decorative buckle. They were some kind of work clothes, but for what profession he knew not. From the surprisingly strong voice that spit out at the room in Arabic, he'd mark her as a survivor. That, at least, was a good sign.
"You will all rot in bloody hell, and I promise to send each one of you foul, pathetic, immoral scum there myself."
Joshua winced. There were a few guffaws from the locals. Educated, but obviously not the daughter of a diplomat. The girl then added what curses and slurs she seemed able to summon in Spanish, French, Italian, the local dialect, and what he thought might be Chinese. No, he decided recognizing some of the words, definitely no diplomats in the family. A resounding slap echoed in his ears as she was struck across the face, her head snapping, stunning her into temporary silence.
A ferocious rage struck him just as quickly, and his friend grabbed his arm in warning. He swallowed impatience, fighting for control, and found himself urging her on. Praying she could magically absorb a little of his strength to survive her torment.
The next seconds seemed like hours as he waited to see if she would recover from the blow, uncertain she was not already unconscious. Then, very slowly, with painstaking control, she lifted her chin. A clenched jaw made the angles of her face even sharper, and he sensed her strength to move came only from blood-sizzling fury and sheer determination. He stepped back unconsciously at the fire in her eyes and watched with admiration as she returned the strike with one of her own.
She spat.
The Moroccan slowly wiped a hand across his chin and mouth. He raised his arm again threateningly, but she refused to cower. She did make the concession of keeping her mouth shut. For that, Joshua was relieved. Most of the men likely didn't understand her threats and slurs against their manhood, but the way her lips curled with disgust conveyed the meaning just as well. She was haughty as a queen, yet he knew she was frightened. Hell, if she wasn't, then she was downright stupid.
The guard wrenched her arms from behind and earned a sharp flinch from his captive. It was an act of brutality merely for the plea sure of it. Joshua had experienced it often as a boy, and empathy twisted his guts at the memory. He acknowledged then what he had known the instant he'd seen her-she was doomed, and somehow, God help him, he had to save her.
What a damned mess.
There was an intimate description of the goods before the bidding took off feverishly. It stopped when a bid from the side won silence. Joshua recognized the round, middle- aged sultan who had just doubled the last offer. The man was richer than any king in Europe and known to keep harems in each of his many palaces. He was also known for a cruel streak in ruling his people. He would no doubt take great plea sure in breaking this girl of her spirit.
Throwing caution to the wind, Joshua stepped forward and raised the bid. He had no idea how he would get his hands on that kind of money, but he didn't care.
There was a collective murmur of shock in the room. Not because of the costly price he realized, but because he dared to bid against the sultan.
The sultan bid again, but Joshua voiced a higher price, heedless of his own increasing peril. The sultan then offered a small fortune, and the bidding ended.
Joshua watched the girl curse and fight as they dragged her off the stage to the other side of the platform. His blood burned. All the injustices he had ever experienced came to a head. He couldn't bear to see another innocent creature ruined by the egos and will of greedy men.
"It is over, my friend. Let's go." His companion, the sultan's nephew, pulled his arm urgently.
"Where are they taking her?"
"There are quarters upstairs," Prince Raja explained. "Al-Aziz gets her only for to night. She is not allowed to leave the rooms here. He paid well to be the first. Soon there will be another auction. A rare piece like that will bring them much money." The prince read his friend's expression. "Please, my friend, do not do anything foolish."
Joshua's lips curved slightly. "Me?"
Raja sighed. "I cannot be involved. I am easily recognized, and my cousin is my responsibility."
Joshua recalled his cousin was currently laid out drunk in Raja's carriage.
"But ... if you live long enough ..." Raja hesitated, then whispered some directions indicating a meeting place on the edge of the city. "They will expect you to go where it is busy. Do not. I will find you." He paused with warning. "If that is still an option."
Joshua gripped Raja's hand gratefully.
The prince rebuked, "Do not thank me. I should have never brought you here."
Joshua watched as the auctioneer paid the slave trader, then turned back to Raja, grinning. "It was fate, my friend. Fear not."
Alex cursed as Paxton collected an obscene amount of gold. It was entirely unjust. He lifted it toward her in a salute, then handed it to a companion while a new guard undid her bonds. Paxton wasn't more than fourteen feet away. She could kill him. With a knife. Perhaps the one being used to free her. It had cut through the ropes efficiently enough. But then she had to reach him. Too many people moving about.
Not a direct throw.
Not to worry.
Saying words of thanks in Arabic to the guard who freed her, she turned around and added a respectful nod. The guard looked into her eyes. She smiled for good mea sure, distracting him. Two seconds later she had the knife. Four seconds later she was in striking distance of Paxton.
Paxton didn't anticipate trouble coming his way. He turned at the sudden noise. Not expecting her. Not expecting the shadow of a knife to flash before him.
Alex leapt, triumph in her last breath.
Someone caught her ankle.
She stretched, determined, victory near. Her target clear.
Paxton's eyes met hers. She reached for his throat.
And missed.
Paxton turned his head away defensively as she struck. Blood spurted free as the knife opened skin down the side of his left cheek. He cried in rage as Alex fell forward to the ground, several guards instantly on her, a foot crushing her knife-wielding hand. Paxton tried to get at her in the fray, seeking revenge, but was held back.
Someone gave him a rag. Held apart, he faced her as she was lifted to her feet, a look of pure evil burning in his eyes. "You will live to regret this, Stafford."
"Not," she gasped, being pulled away, "while there is a breath left in my body!"
Paxton's face contorted into something monstrous. "Then start counting your days."

Brilliant!!!Siren's Song is such a well crafted story and a fun read! Filled with action and yet has a delightful balance of wit and romance. I loved the authors way of creating insight into Alexandra Stafford's family and the characters that make this story one I will recommend. I can't wait to read the second one!

Alexandra Stafford loves sailing the high seas especially as the captain of her ship. Although danger can come from pirates, slave traders, official navies, the weather, or in her case her stalking enemy Paxton nothing fazes the courageous sailor. Even when she captured and sold into slavery in Monaco, Alex remains optimistic as she assumes this is another adventure for her.------------------- That is until the Duke of Worthington, Joshua rescues Alex from slavery. Afterward he meets her at galas hosted by the Ton in London. He already admired her spirit and has a desire to help her learn the meaning of a prophecy involving the SIREN¿S SONG although he fears for her life. She feels fear for the first time in her life as she prays her obsession will not lead to the death of her beloved Joshua or her family ---------------------- This an exiting late eighteenth century action-packed pirate romance in which Captain Trish Albert and her crew of readers sail the seven seas. The plot is a bit over the top, but no one will care because of Alex who sets the tone with her courage and need to know which proves infectious as the admiring audience will want to know also.------------------- Harriet Klausner

I felt like the author had a wonderful idea of who these characters were, and, as evident by her writing, took tremendous care and thought in portraying them! Each character was so vivid! As were plot lines and twists and transitions! There were a few grammar and spelling issues (for instance the author says something is done "unconsciously" - which actually means asleep - when she means, instead, to write "subconsciously"). Full words were missing from phrases and descriptions. These would normally force me to halt with reading any book, but I was so wrapped up in the story and the characters that I didn't even care!! Truly, errors aside, it was a wonderfully, descriptive romp through historical fiction, and with romance to boot. The traditional historical romance reader - beware! - you shall have your lustful yearning for copulation tickled quite noticeably, but you shall be ultimately denied while reading this novel! (Although, there is quite alot of romance to be had!) I wish there was MORE! But with a story like that ...! I'm ready for the next one!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

The Perl Debugger
Many people use the Perl debugger with no more than these commands. Once you are comfortable with those, however, an additional four commands can make your debugging more efficient, especially for programs that use object-oriented code:
/<pattern>: lists source code at next regular expression match.
?<pattern>: lists source code at previous regular expression match.
S: lists all subroutines and methods available to the program.
m <object or package>: lists all methods available on the given object or package.
You can search and display code that matches a string or regular expression with / for forward searches and ? for backward searches. There should be no space before the string you're looking for:
DB<6> /name 6: my $name = "Pengu";
The S and m commands are useful for exploring what subroutines or methods are available: S lists every subroutine and method available to the program. These are in reverse order of when they were loaded by use or require, and they include routines loaded from the debugger, such as Term::ReadLine. The m command lists every method available to an object or by way of a package. Here is a sample:
DB<7> use CGI DB<8> $q = new CGI DB<9> m $q AUTOLOAD DESTROY XHTML_DTD _compile _make_tag_func _reset_globals _setup_symbols add_parameter all_parameters [...]
Actions, breakpoints and watchpoints provide even more control over the debugger and the running program. You may prefer using them from a graphical Perl debugging front end, such as ddd, ptkdb or Activestate Komodo. The most common complaint about the Perl debugger is remembering the proper command-line shortcut for each command, and these commands add still more shortcuts to remember.
Additionally, in Perl 5.8 some of the keyboard commands have changed to make them more internally consistent. Often, though, people need to use both 5.8 and an earlier version, so it may be easier to use a GUI. I describe the commands from the command line below; the principles remain the same.
An action is used to wedge code into your program without modifying the source file. It can be useful when the code is in production and you want to test a change. It's also useful if you're in the middle of a debugging run and want to change code without restarting the debugging session from scratch.
You set an action like so, a <line-number> <code>. An example could be:
DB<10> a 9 $index = $_;
This adds a new command inside the foreach loop that stores the index count, which is incremented each time through. If you list the program, you see an a next to the line number that has the action. The action is executed before the line to which it is attached. You can list actions you've set with L and delete an action by specifying a with the line number without a command. The previous is for Perl 5.6 and earlier; in Perl 5.8, delete an action with A and the line number of the action.
Breakpoints and watchpoints return control to the debugger from continuous execution, such as from r and c described above. They are useful for jumping ahead to the particular iteration of a loop that is having problems, without repeatedly stepping through the loop by hand.
A breakpoint is set on a line number or subroutine, with an optional condition that must be met. A breakpoint is set with b as shown here:
b shout
If you list the program, you can see a b next to the line number at the first line of the subroutine shout. Press C to continue execution, and it stops inside the subroutine.
If you followed the previous example and set the action on line 9, you could set a breakpoint to stop on a particular iteration of this loop:
b shout ($index eq 8)
This should give you an idea of the power of actions and breakpoints, if you imagine debugging a longer program with complex conditional statements and external data sources.
You can list breakpoints with L and delete one with d in Perl 5.6 and earlier. In Perl 5.8, you delete a breakpoint with B.
A watchpoint probably is better known as a watch expression. It halts the program as soon as a specified expression changes. In Perl 5.6, it is set with W as shown here:
W $name
You can list watchpoints with L and delete all of them by specifying no parameter to W. In Perl 5.8, add a watchpoint with w and delete it with W.

A bubble column can be operated using countercurrent flow including perforated trays. The space-time yield of gas-liquid reactions can be considerably increased if the perforated trays have a substantially uniform distribution of holes, if the cross-sectional area of the individual holes is 0.003 to 3 mm2, particularly 0.01 to 0.5 mm2, and if the open area of the trays is 3 to 20%, particularly 3 to 10%, and if the bubble column comprises passages for liquid between adjacent liquid zones.
The bubble column can be used for carrying out gas-liquid reactions, such as oxidation reactions with air, with the gas and liquid preferably being passed in countercurrent flow through the column. Cocurrent flow may also be used.
1. A bubble column comprising a columnar vessel (1), arranged in a vertical manner, having:
(a) a bottom part (3), a middle part (2) and a top part (4), wherein:
(i) the bottom part comprises the gas phase inlet and liquid phase outlet; and
(ii) the top part comprises the liquid phase inlet and the gas phase outlet;
(b) one or more perforated trays (5) horizontally disposed in the middle part with a distribution of holes which is essentially uniform over the cross section of the column, wherein:
(i) the cross-sectional area of each of the said holes is 0.003 to 3 mm2;
(ii) the open area of trays formed by said holes is 3 to 20%; and
(iii) liquid zones formed in the operating state above and below a tray communicate with each other via a passage (6) for the throughflow of liquid; and

The present application is a continuation of International Application PCT/EP99/06626, filed on Sep. 9, 1999 and claims priority to German application DE 198 435 73.8, filed Sep. 23, 1998, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to a bubble column which can be operated using countercurrent flow and comprises horizontally disposed perforated trays in the middle part thereof and the use thereof for carrying out gas-liquid reactions. One use is for the oxidation stage of the anthraquinone process for the production of hydrogen peroxide.
Bubble columns are columnar vessels in which a gas in the form of bubbles comes into contact with a liquid, wherein substances are mostly transferred from one phase into the other phase. Accordingly, bubble columns are used for chemical reactions between components in a liquid phase and components in a gaseous phase. In order to intensify mass transfer between the phases and to reduce back-mixing effects, a plurality of perforated trays disposed one above another can also be used in bubble columns (Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 5th Ed. (1992), Vol. 24, 276-278).
The perforated trays of large-scale industrial bubble columns, namely those with a diameter of at least 1 m, are usually sieve plates with a hole diameter between 2 and 5 mm or dual flow trays with a hole diameter of up to 20 mm. Grids with a thin layer of conventional packing material situated thereon are also used instead of sieve plates. The space-time yield of gas-liquid reactions is strongly dependent on the gas content in the gas-liquid mixture flowing through the column. When employing bubble columns with the aforementioned sieve plates, it has not proved possible to increase the gas content above certain limiting values, and the space-time yield has thereby been limited. Therefore, there have been many attempts to increase the space-time yield by means of other built-in components and/or by using special injection means for the gas. However, the construction of bubble columns is made considerably more costly on an industrial scale by the use of the built-in components mentioned above, for instance static mixers.
DE 694 03 618 T2, a translation of EP 0,659,474 B1, teaches a method for bringing a gas current into contact with a liquid phase and teaches a device for this purpose. The device includes a column with perforated sieve plates in which the total surface area of the perforations is between 1/40 and 1/300 of the cross section available for perforations. The level of the liquid layer maintained on the sieve plates, which is adjusted, e.g., by means of weirs, is preferably in a range of 200 to 600 mm. The cross-sectional area of the individual perforations is in a range of 0.5 to 3.5 mm2.
Austrian patent 236,346 teaches specially perforated trays for columns such as those used for distillation methods and absorption methods. In addition to openings having vertical walls, the trays additionally contain a small number of openings with walls inclined at an angle to the main surface. The cross-sectional area of the openings is 0.155 to 31.7 mm2 and, according to the example, the surface is 0.63 mm2. During operation, a liquid flows over the trays. The patent document does not teach operating the column as a bubble column.
DE-AS 10 28 096 teaches a method for the continuous reaction of finely distributed solid bodies with liquids and/or gases. A column, operated with cocurrent flow, entirely filled with liquid and with sieve plates having perforations with a diameter of less than 1 mm, is used. A gas cushion inhibits the passage of liquid. The column has no devices for enabling countercurrent operation.
The bubble-column cascade reactor according to DE-OS 21 57 737 is essentially the same as the previously evaluated reactor. The entire free perforation area is preferably less than 5% of the reactor cross section and the perforation diameters are, according to the examples, 2 and 4 mm (=3.14 to 12.56 mm2). No suggestions of countercurrent operation and/or devices to this end are disclosed by the document.
One large-scale industrial process based on a gas-liquid reaction is the oxidation stage in the anthraquinone process (AO process) for the production of hydrogen peroxide. As is known, this process comprises a hydrogenation stage, an oxidation stage and an extraction stage—a review is given in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 5th Ed. (1989), Vol. A13, 447-457. In the hydrogenation stage, a reaction medium which is based on one or more 2-alkylanthraquinones and/or tetrahydro derivatives thereof, and which is dissolved in a solvent system, is partially hydrogenated to form the corresponding hydroquinones and, in the oxidation stage, the hydroquinones contained in the hydrogenated working solution are re-oxidized to quinones by a gas containing O2, generally air, with the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction in the oxidation stage should be as quantitative as possible with the avoidance of decomposition reactions of components of the working solution. Moreover, it should consume as little energy as possible and it should be capable of being conducted with a high space-time yield.
In the AO process, oxidation is first conducted in gasification towers disposed in series, using fresh air in each case. This is both costly on an industrial scale and relatively uneconomic. According to U.S. Pat. No. 3,073,680, the rate of oxidation can in fact be increased by maintaining defined bubble sizes, which can be obtained by means of fine-pored gas distributor elements such as frits, and by maintaining defined conditions of cross-sectional loading. However, problems arise with the separation of the resulting foam and with gas-liquid phase separation.
According to German patent specification 20 03 268, the aforementioned problems associated with the AO process can be solved by means of an oxidation column which is subdivided into two to six sections. In each section of this column, the working solution and the oxidizing gas are passed from the bottom to the top in cocurrent flow, but in the column as a whole the gas and the liquid move in countercurrent flow in relation to each other. In order to achieve intimate mixing, the individual sections contain suitable built-in components such as sieve plates or meshes, or are packed with packing elements.
In an attempt to reduce the pressure drop in the aforementioned cascade-type arrangement of columns, European patent specification 0 221 931 proposes that oxidation be conducted in a tubular cocurrent reactor which contains no built-in components apart from a special gas distributor element. This gas distributor element results in the formation, from the working solution and the oxidizing gas, of a system in which bubbles are inhibited from coalescing and which has a high gas content. If the gas content is too high and/or if the gas bubbles are particularly small, problems can arise with gas-liquid separation. It has been shown in practice that the specific reactor volume to be gasified (in m3 per ton H2O2) is quite large, which results in a reduced space-time yield and also results in a high hold-up of costly working solution.
The object of the present invention is to provide a bubble column which can be operated with countercurrent flow and which includes perforated trays with which gas-liquid reactions can be conducted with a higher space-time yield than when using columns comprising customary sieve plates. The bubble column should be of simple construction. A further object is oriented towards the use of the bubble column in the oxidation stage of the AO process for the production of hydrogen peroxide, wherein the conversion is improved compared with known processes, the space-time yield with respect to the reactor volume and the volume of working solution is improved, and the formation of a gas-liquid mixture which is difficult to separate is avoided.
This object is achieved by a bubble column comprising a columnar vessel (1) having a bottom (3), middle (2) and top part (4), one or more perforated trays (5) horizontally disposed in the middle part and with a distribution of holes which is essentially uniform over the cross section of the column, and devices for feeding and discharging a liquid phase (9 and 10) and a gas phase (11 and 12) in order to operate the bubble column with countercurrent flow, which is characterized in that the cross-sectional area of the individual holes is 0.003 to 3 mm2, the open area of the trays is 3 to 20% and in that the liquid zones formed in the operating state above and below a tray communicate with each other via a passage (6) for throughflow of liquid.
Compared with bubble columns comprising conventional sieve plates, the bubble columns according to the invention are characterized by trays with fine holes or fine slits. The trays preferably contain holes with a cross-sectional area of 0.01 to 1 mm2, particularly 0.05 to 0.05 mm2. The open area preferably falls within the range from 3 to 15%, preferably 3 to 10%, most preferably 3 to 7%. The shape of the holes is arbitrary, but the holes are usually of round, triangular to semi-elliptical, or slit-shaped construction. The trays comprising fine holes or fine slits can be constructed as complete column trays, but usually consist of a supporting grid and a plate which is fixed thereon, which comprises fine holes or fine slits and which is of the desired plate thickness and degree of perforation. Plates of this type comprising fine holes or slits are in fact used in sieving and filtration technology and as fluidizing bases in fluidized bed technology. Their use as trays in bubble columns has never been considered previously, however.
As determined by their manufacture, the holes in the plates are preferably of tapered construction in the direction of passage of the gas and/or the holes are inclined in addition for the purpose of achieving a directed flow during passage of the gas. A directed flow can additionally be effected by the scale which is formed on the surface of the plate due to the manufacture thereof.
The bubble column is divided into several zones by the finely perforated trays in the middle part of the bubble column which are filled with liquid or a liquid-gas mixture in the operating state, with the exception of a thin gas cushion directly below the trays. In order that smooth operation is assured during countercurrent operation, the bubble column comprises at least one tubular or well-shaped liquid passage (6) per tray, between adjacent zones, so-called "downcomers". These passages, which advantageously inlet directly on the tray, thus avoiding any need for a weir, dip into the liquid of the zone located below the particular tray or are connected to it. The passages are designed so that no gas flows through them in the operating state. This is achieved, e.g., in that the downcomers, advantageously in the form of round tubes or segment-like wells arranged on the perforated trays with an appropriate free cross section, empty into a dip pocket. Alternatively, outside pipes connecting two adjacent zones at a time can also be used as downcomers.
The bubble column is usually designed in such a manner that it can be operated using countercurrent flow, during which a liquid is discharged at the top and a gas is supplied at the bottom. If the device (6) for the passage of liquid is not present, the bubble column can also be operated using cocurrent flow, during which a mixture of liquid and gas flows upward from below.
The tray interval in the bubble column of the invention is dependent on the specific problem posed and the diameter-to-height ratio of the bubble column. The tray interval is in general in a range of 0.1 to 10 times, especially 0.05 to 5 times the tray diameter. In large-scale industrial bubble columns like those used, e.g., in the use according to the invention for the production of hydrogen peroxide, the tray interval of the trays with fine holes or fine slits is preferably in a range of 0.05 to 2 times the tray diameter.
Aside from the trays discussed above, which are preferably provided, for countercurrent operation, with at least one tubular or well-shaped liquid passage each, the middle part of the column can be free of built-in components. However, according to a preferred embodiment it is also possible to arrange heat exchangers between individual trays, advantageously plate heat exchangers with vertically positioned plates. Such bubble columns provided with trays with fine holes and with heat exchangers can be used with particular advantage to carry out gas-liquid reactions with a high reaction enthalpy. The bubble columns of the invention can be equipped in a manner customary for one skilled in the art for operation using cocurrent or countercurrent flow, preferably countercurrent flow. A cascade design is also possible.
As can be seen from the examples according to the invention and from the comparative examples, extraordinary, unforeseeable advantages are achieved due to the design according to the invention comprising perforated trays in the bubble column:
gasification of a liquid situated above the plates comprising fine holes or slits is extremely uniform;
small bubbles with a narrow range of diameters are produced uniformly over the entire cross-section of the bubble column;
the efficiency of the intensive mass transfer which is due to the trays enables the specific gasification volume (=effective reactor volume) to be reduced compared with bubble columns comprising sieve plates;
the gas content of the gas-liquid mixture which can be attained in practice is significantly greater than the gas content which can be obtained when using conventional sieve plates and in other gasification techniques, without this resulting in problems in gas-liquid phase separation;
the mass transfer area, and the extent of mass transfer which is achieved therewith, is very high;
compared with conventional columns, the hold-up of the liquid phase is significantly reduced; in particular, this is a considerable advantage if the liquid phase is a costly multi-component mixture, for instance the working solution of the AO process;
a higher reaction conversion is achieved per m3 of reactor volume compared with competing processes;
a higher reaction conversion is achieved per m3 of liquid phase (e.g. the working solution in the AO process);
the pressure drop across the trays is about 300 to 500 Pa (3-5 mbar) per tray, and is therefore low compared with the hydrostatic pressure drop in the column; a gas cushion with a depth of only 1 to 5 cm is formed under the trays, so that practically the complete apparatus volume (=the middle part of the column) can be utilized for the reaction.

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a preferred bubble column 1 according to the invention, which is particularly suitable for countercurrent flow operation and which in its middle part 2 contains three heat exchangers 16 in addition to six trays 5 comprising fine holes. Apart from the gasified middle part 2, the column comprises a bottom part 3 with a cap-shaped gas distributor device 8 and a top part 4 with a device 7 for distributing the liquid phase and a gas-liquid separation device connected to 14. A well-shaped element 6 in the shape of a segment for the passage of liquid is disposed on each finely perforated tray 5 in the zone below the tray. The liquid phase is supplied via line 9 at the top of the column and is discharged via line 10 at the bottom part. The gas is supplied via line 11 to the gas distributor device 8, from which fine gas bubbles emerge. After passing through the column, the gas is separated from the liquid phase in the gas separation device, which is schematically illustrated as a centrifugal separator here, and is discharged as an off-gas via line 12. It is possible to check whether foam has been formed in the region of the column top by means of the sight glasses 15. The flow and return lines 17, 18 of each heat exchanger supply the heat exchanger with a heat transfer medium.
FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) show a typical cross-sectional view of a perforated tray of the invention, showing that the holes or slits in the tray may be tapered to facilitate flow therethrough.
FIGS. 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) show non-limiting examples of alternative shapes and arrangements of holes or slits in the perforated trays. Other arrangements and shapes will be known to one skilled in the art. FIG. 3(a) shows circular holes. FIG. 3(b) shows holes that are semi-elliptical. FIG. 3(c) shows triangular holes and FIG. 3(d) shows elongated slits.
The bottom and top parts of the bubble column can be designed in any desired manner. In particular, customary units can be incorporated for supplying a gas and a liquid and for phase separation.
The bubble column according to the invention can be used for carrying out reactions between a component of a gas phase and a component of a liquid phase. Gas-liquid reactions such as these can comprise oxidation, reduction, addition or neutralization reactions, for non-limiting example, the liquid phase can be aqueous or organic. During the reaction, the two phases can be brought into contact with each other in cocurrent flow or in countercurrent flow, preferably in countercurrent flow, in the bubble column. At the same time, a plurality of bubble columns can be connected in series in the form of a cascade. Apart from one or more reaction components, the liquid phase can additionally contain a catalyst in dissolved or suspended form. When substances are suspended in the liquid phase, their particle diameters must be significantly smaller than the diameter of the holes in the trays comprising fine holes or fine slits.
According to one preferred use, the bubble column according to the invention is employed in the oxidation stage of the anthraquinone process for the production of hydrogen peroxide. The liquid phase is a hydrogenated working solution which contains one or more reaction media from the 2-alkylanthrahydroquinone and 2-alkyltetrahydroanthrahydroquinone series, and the gas phase is an oxygen-containing gas such as air, oxygen, or an oxygen-air mixture. The two phases are preferably brought into contact in countercurrent flow for oxidation, wherein the gas phase is supplied by means of a customary gas distributor device disposed in the bottom part of the bubble column, for example a perforated cap, and the liquid phase is supplied in the top part by means of a customary liquid distributor device. Distribution of the liquid is preferably effected by irrigating a considerable part of the column cross-section. This procedure makes it possible reliably to avoid problems of foaming at the top of the bubble column, such as the problems which occur when using other types of bubble columns, particularly columns disposed in cascade which are described in the prior art, and which can result in losses of working solution due to the discharge thereof with the oxidation off-gas.
Moreover, by using a bubble column according to the invention which comprises integrated heat exchanger plates, it is possible to conduct the oxidation stage almost isothermally. This has a positive effect on the reaction conversion. Furthermore, it also avoids the need to remove working solution from the oxidation stage for the purpose of external cooling. As is shown in the following examples and comparative examples, a considerably higher space-time yield is achieved in the process for the production of hydrogen peroxide by employing a bubble column according to the invention in the oxidation stage. It has been shown that this increase is possible even if the process is operated at a low temperature and under a reduced pressure. By keeping the conditions of temperature and pressure constant, it is thus possible to obtain a further increase in space-time yield. As an alternative to increasing the space-time yield, or in addition thereto, the cost of compressing the oxidizing air can be minimized and a saving in energy can thus be achieved.
Apart from their use as reaction columns, bubble columns comprising separating trays according to the invention can also be used for rectification, absorption and desorption processes. Due to the uniform gas distribution, to the small bubbles and, if need be, to the directed gas flow from the fine holes, very good rates of mass transfer and high extents of loading are possible.
The oxidation stage of the anthraquinone process for the production of hydrogen peroxide was conducted in a large-scale industrial bubble column, using a bubble column according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 1, and using air as the oxidizing gas. The working solution (WS) contained, as the reaction medium, a mixture stemming from many years of operation based on 2 ethyl- and 2-amylanthraquinone and on the tetrahydroanthraquinones thereof in a solvent mixture which was essentially based on an aromatic petroleum compound and tetrabutylurea.
The bubble column comprised six trays with fine holes, which had a cross-sectional area of about 0.05 mm2/hole and an open area of about 5%, three plate heat exchangers, a cap-shaped perforated gas distributor device, an irrigation device at the top of the column and a centrifugal separation device for phase separation at the top of the column.
The essential operating data and the results of Examples 1 and 2 are given in Table 1. Data in Example 3 were obtained from an assessment trial and are given in Table 2 by comparison with corresponding data from Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
Oxidation of a hydrogenated working solution was conducted in an installation according to EP-B 0 221 931, i.e. the oxidizing gas and the working solution were mixed directly by means of a mixer element and were introduced into the bottom part of a column which was free from built-in components and which constituted a system in which bubble coalescence was inhibited. The working solution used in this operation contained a reaction medium based on 2-ethylanthraquinone and 2-ethyltetrahydroanthraquinone in a solvent mixture with the same basis as that used in Example 1.
The essential operating data, and the space-time yield with respect to 1 m3 of working solution, are given in Table 2. The gas content and the space-time yields of the gas-liquid mixture were less than those in Example 3 according to the invention.
A working solution analogous to that of Comparative Example 1 was oxidized with air in a three-stage cascade according to DE 20 03 268. Each of the three bubble columns contained a sieve plate with a hole diameter of 3 mm in the middle part of the column. The essential operating data and the space-time yields are given in Table 2. The gas content and the STY were less than those in Example 3 according to the invention. See Table 2.

would it hurt to----
The virius removal software that we use, says, "fingerprints 342361"
I have fingerprints on my computer? What am I supposed to do? I dust it, wipe it down, but fingerprints??? really!!!!
Now, I'm not so dumb that I don't understand that this computer talk for something. But if I don't need to do something....why mentions that my system has fingerprints!!!Or at least tell me that everything is OK and I don't need to do anything. Or if I need to do something....what and how.
Ahhh....this modern progressive age. Yeah, wonderful. Its a shame that human minds like mine can't handle it.
If I had "fingerprints 342361", I'd clean my screen and let the removal software handle the internal stuff. Smile.
I put the fingerprint # in Goodle and they came back with a page. See below.
When you figure it out, let us know.

Being Positive
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~Marianne Williamson
His love is deeper
"There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still."

Timeless Insights on Humility
Humility. A tremendously huge lesson for us all. As a person of deep faith, I believe it's important, essential even, to acknowledge the workings of God in our lives. Gratitude helps realign me with the bigger picture. I look in the mirror as I brush my teeth in the morning and think of so many things to be thankful for… such as running water (which I turn off when brushing my teeth), and good health, my loved ones, this day! The list grows! There is so much to be thankful for, yet we too often forget to acknowledge how gifted, how blessed, we truly are. Humility to me includes respecting this gift of life I am given every morning. As they say, never regret growing older for it is a privilege denied to many.
Of all trees, I observe God hath chosen the vine, a low plant that creeps upon the helpful wall; of all beasts, the soft and patient lamb; of all fowls, the mild and guileless dove. Christ is the rose of the field, and the lily of the valley. When God appeared to Moses, it was not in the lofty cedar nor the sturdy oak nor the spreading palm; but in a bush, a humble, slender, abject shrub; as if He would, by these elections, check the conceited arrogance of man.
~Owen Feltham (1602 – Feb 23, 1668)
I hope you've enjoyed my old-fashioned quotes in this brand new year of 2015. I believe humility is always timely, even if the teachers have been gone for hundreds or thousands of years, their lessons live on.
Luke 18:14 KJV ~ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Let Us Be Like A Wise Old Owl
A wise old owl sat in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
This old nursery rhyme was recorded as early as 1875 and is likely much older than that. It was quoted by John D. Rockefeller in 1915 and is often mis-attributed to Edward Hersey Richards. [source]

A Time To Rest
Today is a good day to relax. Let us set aside moments to relish a bit of nourishing solitude. How about spending time outdoors, reading some uplifting words, and cherishing a long, soothing soak in a tub.
There's really nothing quite like laying down amidst warm water to help melt away the stresses of life.
That's where I'm headed and I wish that for you as well.
Sometimes we just need to unplug.
May we all be refreshed and renewed for the days ahead, and grateful for the many blessings around us.
"There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them."
~ Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (1963)
"Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression."
~ Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle (1948)
"This is what the Sabbath is for: reverence, rest, renewal, rejuvenation, reassuring rituals, recreation, rejoicing, revelation, remembering how much you have to be grateful for, and saying 'thank you!' You can do this in a church, mosque, temple or synagogue, on a walk, while antiquing, sitting in bed propped up on pillows reading something wonderful with a breakfast tray, working the crossword puzzle before a roaring fire, attending a marvelous art exhibition or movie matinee, or listening to opera in the kitchen as you sip sherry and prepare a fabulous feast. What matters is that you do something special that speaks to your soul and that you revel in whatever you do. Your activities on the Sabbath should uplift you and provide enough inspiration to sustain you during the week to come." ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy
"Anybody can observe the Sabbath but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week."
~ Alice Walker
Let us visualize what we want to have happen… imagine and see the life we want to walk into. Let's think about what we want to have happen in our future. See it now. Notice it. Focus on it.
Kind actions are happening right here and right now, all around us. Look for the polite drivers who let in that merging car, and the courteous cashier who calls "I'm open over here." Maybe you'll observe a neighbor who smiles at others or a bus driver who is kind. Let's see the good. Focus on it. And also do what we can to BE the good. Let's lead the way, and show how it's done. Role models matter! And helping to shine light and kindness in the world really can be as simple as a genuine smile.
Take care of YOU so that you can bring your brightest light. Remember that what you think about, focus on, and do really makes a difference in our world, more than you may ever know. Your smiling face, good mood and congenial kindness all help raise the energy of everyone around you.
Begin within, find your faith (whatever touches and inspires your heart), take care of you, and shine your light brightly. Let's all do what we can to fill our hearts with so much gratitude and love that our hearts can overflow into the hearts of others!
We need your light. You are beautiful. Thank you for visiting, reading, and being You! Love, Gina ~ Professions For Peace
"I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains." ~ Anne Frank
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death." ~ Robert Fulghum
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one." ~ John Lennon
"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming." ~ Pablo Neruda
"It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars." ~ Richard Evans

text: I agree. I think I have a sickness when it comes to Disney. I can't even begin to total up the hours I spend on planning. I probably don't want to know myself, it would be embarrassing. My DH is not really a fan of Disney but is all for saving money, so he lets me indulge. He prefers Universal(and so do my traitor sons). If Disney doesn't release a good discount, we will probably head to Universal this summer. We have Universal AP's. Since we already have tickets and paying the high price of staying onsite is still cheaper than Disney. Plus you get unlimited express pass for most of the rides when staying onsite. Please, Disney, hurry up and release some discounts. I don't want to go back to the darkside.

Kevin focused on what it means to be "API first." He explained how it's different than "SOA first." In the world of SOA, the WSDL was the "contact," but not managed as a product. In "API first," the API is the "contract" but is also the product. Kevin quantified this in his "API first equation," which is:
"The API is the contract" + "APIs are a product" = "API first"
Products need a product manager, and APIs are no different. We are starting to see the role of "API Product Manager" emerge. Innovators like Citi now have job postings for an API Product Manager. This person would, using API management, manage the API lifecycle, calibrate rate plans and monetization, and ensure that APIs are aligned with clients.
There is another chance to hear Kevin speak about being "API first" at the API workshop in Atlanta this Thursday, 20 November. All are welcome, and I look forward to some great discussion on the new role of the API Product Manager in the "API first" world.

Dateline: March 1, 2015
This past eight months have gone by, and I owe our readers an apology.
On June 23rd, 2014 I moved into my son's home in Phoenix, Arizona, with the intent of a two month clean-up, paint and minor repair renovation. The purpose: To resell the home at a fair and comfortable profit for the kids. It sure beat selling it for less that what they had paid but two years earlier.
The intent of well laid plans wasn't meant to be. In a few more days I will be witnessing my ninth full moon in this place, which I now recognize as Heaven on Earth. For those who regularly listen to my daily broadcast, this project has turned into one of total restoration of a home that was built sometime before 1955 and 1962. The jury seems to be out on that one as of yet – but we'll get it figured out. Continue reading

Dear APRA – We adopted Cort in November 2010 when he was only 8 weeks old. We knew he was a very cute little terrier, but soon learned he was also extremely smart and a very quick study. It was obvious from the start it was going to take a lot to keep this little guy from becoming bored. Cort breezed through his basic obedience training and went on to become a star in his 'tricks' class. His claim to fame was balancing on a yoga ball. He is a natural performer and loves to put on a show! Now, at two years old, he is having fun mastering agility. Cort also has a very busy social life getting lots of attention from the three young boys next door, on play dates with other dogs in the neighborhood, and spending time at day care. He is such a happy, high energy, confident little man and brings great joy to our lives.
We are happy to see his smiling face every single morning. When we aren't playing ball or frisbee, he is curled up beside us resting for his next big adventure. We look forward to loving him for many years to come and will always be grateful to APRA for allowing us to be Cort's forever home. ~ Linda and Jack S.
