Lomond, Alta. residents blown away by scope of proposed wind farm
Residents in the village of Lomond, Alta. say there wasn't enough consultation done on the proposed 24,000 acre wind farm that would be equipped with 87 turbines, each over 183 metres tall.
LOMOND, ALTA. -- A proposed wind project near the village of Lomond, set to begin construction by the end of the year, is raising concerns with some residents.
"Our quality of life is definitely affected," said resident Larry Helland.
The project headed by German Energy Company ABO Wind and will be built on 24,000 acres of privately-owned farmland in the area north of the community. The company maintains there are plenty of benefits, including $3 million in property tax revenues, and about a dozen permanent local jobs.
Residents aren't so sure about any of that.
"We're being exposed to a huge wind project here that the community had no input on," said Helland. "We all have to live around these flashing lights."
The proposed Buffalo Plains wind farm project would include 87 wind turbines. Each one would be over 183 metres tall.
"A colony and five individuals are going to be receiving remuneration for the towers and, of those five, most of them are non-residents," Helland adds.
Others are left to live with the consequences.
"We don't have land that would be beneficial to this project. Unfortunately, we feel like just a little person in this situation," said Dennell Gillespie, another concerned resident.
Brayden Shepard, who just moved into the area, is also worried.
"We're going to see some of the highest concentration of the windmills," he said.
These residents say it's also a view they don't want to see every day and they feel blindsided by a decision made without community input.
"It would be the onus upon the people that come in to come to talk to the community ahead of time," Helland said.
ABO Wind maintains the area surrounding Lomond was selected due to its large, open agricultural land base, great wind resource, and close access to the electrical grid.
The company is holding an open house Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. to gather community feedback and announce a green option program that it says will benefit the community.
Lomond is located about an hour north of Lethbridge.

The most recent programme of European Union policy focuses on creating an Innovation Union, shifting from the Lisbon Strategy's aim to create the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world to the need for smart, sustainable, inclusive growth of Horizon 2020. Innovative researchers are therefore essential to the achievement of this. Growth, in this policy discourse, refers not to purely economic measures, such as GDP, but to the more recently developed benchmarks associated with happiness and well-being. This illustrates the extent to which the knowledge of the psy- disciplines has become central to our self-understanding. The professional development guidance and devices made available to the researcher provide strategies derived from psychology for identifying and overcoming weaknesses and address her in a variety of aspirational ways, e.g. as balanced, leading, creative. This does not ignore less attractive, more mundane aspects of the life of the researcher – tiredness, stress, not feeling at home in the university today – but rather treats them as weaknesses to be overcome by resort to psychological strategies. This paper takes each of these in turn to consider them not as conditions to be overcome by means of psychological strategies but as responses to conditions that open up a space for thinking otherwise about how we live with and respond to our conditions (as researchers). It is suggested that to deny them and treat as aspects of ourselves that we can master effects a desubjectivation, while addressing the individual as researcher produces a new mode of subjectivation.

text: David Bazan has never been one for self-censorship. As the sole constant member of Seattle indie stalwarts Pedro the Lion, he set the narratives of his unflinching smarts to slowcore worship hymns, folksy murder ballads, and seething reprisal rock. Since going solo in 2006, he has continued to tackle demons, his own and all of ours, with a devastating ear for lyrical detail: idiot politicians, marital infidelity, and, on last year's Curse Your Branches, his encroaching disillusionment with his Christian faith. Like Pedro the Lion, Bazan's initial solo recordings were relatively austere, but each outing has added a bit more volume and intricacy to cushion that raging soul. For this tour he fronts a four-piece band; odds are good he'll stop the set now and then to field questions from the audience.

Laundry Detergent Pods Poisoning Lawsuit[flexy_breadcrumb]
According to an article in the Huffington Post, a young boy in Florida saw something that looked to him like candy. It was actually a candy-colored laundry detergent pod. The boy ate it and died. According to the Florida Poison Information Center (FPIC), the boy's death was one of the first in the United States that resulted from swallowing a laundry detergent pod. Since then, the FPIC has been receiving hundreds of similar exposure reports each year. Nationwide there are thousands of reports annually from poison control centers concerning laundry pods being consumed by children. There have been a number of product liability lawsuits filed against the manufacturers of laundry detergent pods. The exact number is difficult to determine.
Laundry Detergent Pods
These capsules are the size of golf balls and contain a highly concentrated liquid detergent. They are covered in a film that is water-soluble. The pods will burst if they are bitten into. This will send their contents quickly down a child's throat. In many cases, the detergent will obstruct a child's airway. It can also burn their eyes as well as skin. The pods break quickly, and the damage they cause happens instantly. According to an article on WWLP.com, "A number of children come in (hospital) after having ingested some detergent pods, or biting into them and breathing in the detergent into their lungs causing either burns in their mouth, their digestive, respiratory depression or even respiratory failure," said Dr. Joeli Hettler of Baystate Medical Center.
Product Liability
There have been major injuries experienced by the children who have swallowed laundry detergent pods. Product liability lawyers are reviewing the situation. Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of families of children who were injured after eating a detergent pack or had it get into their eyes. Attorneys are able to show that most of the serious injuries could have been avoided if the laundry packs were not marketed in colorful containers that resemble the packaging of candy or toys. Families could have been saved from experiencing a major injury if the manufacturer had placed sufficient warnings on them. Warnings that explained exactly how important it is to keep the laundry detergent packs out of the reach of children. The CDC has determined that detergent pods are a serious public health hazard. The number of injuries from them are increasing around the United States.
The American Association of Poison Control (AAPCC) and The Center for Disease Control (CDC) actively monitor the number of children affected with laundry detergent poisoning. Since 2012 poison control centers around the United States have been treating approximately 10 cases of poisoning from laundry detergent pods each day. It is estimated that 50 percent of all cases involve children swallowing the soap from laundry detergent pods. It has been estimated that over 93 percent of the cases involved children less that 6 years old or older. Combined with the number of cases involving children less than 5 years old, this age group accounted for 98 percent of poisoning incidents from detergent pods.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
In 2012, the CPSC issued a safety alert concerning laundry detergent pod poisoning. This alert emphasized the risk they posed to children. Most of the reported exposures were unintentional accidents. There was no intent to expose children to the detergent pods. There were a number of symptoms that developed in children who ingested the detergent pods. They included vomiting, gastrointestinal problems, drowsiness, nausea, seizure-like symptoms, respiratory issues that were life-threatening in some cases and more. Some laundry detergent pod manufacturers have started placing strong warnings and instructions on what to do if the detergent pod is swallowed. Others have introduced their product with childproof lids. These lids are designed with a double-latch mechanism. Some provide resealable safety stickers. This enables parent to reseal the lids on the containers.
Safety Steps
The CPSC recommends parents follow certain steps to decrease the chances of laundry detergent pod poisoning. Parents should not let their children handle the detergent pods under any circumstances. The detergent pods need to be carefully sealed in their original packaging. Parents must make certain the pods are locked up and out of reach and sight of children in the home. If the pods are swallowed or eyes exposed to the contents, help should be sought immediately. Parents can all 1-800-222-1222 and ask for assistance.
American Cleaning Institute (ACI)
The ACI is a trade association located in Washington DC. It claims the industry has seen the problems with their product and is responding. They are creating a number of different educational materials to teach consumers about using and safely storing the detergent pods. The ACI also regularly monitors the incident reports from poison control centers around the United States. This information helps ACI to know where best to focus their efforts. The ACI believes providing more information on safe storage of the detergent pods will decrease the number of poisoning incidents.
Consumer Reports
Requests that laundry pod detergent manufacturers develop packaging that is even more effective has been called for by Consumer Reports. This group points towards how laundry detergent pods poisoning incidents are in far greater numbers than those of other types of detergent products. Since 2012, there has been over 7,650 pod detergent poisoning incidents with children 5 years old and younger. During the same time, there were over 7,700 conventional poisoning incidents. The numbers may seem similar until it is pointed out that laundry detergent pods only make up 6 percent of the laundry detergent market.
Proctor & Gamble Study
There was a study commissioned by Proctor & Gamble, a company that manufactures a form of the laundry detergent pods. The study showed that in approximately 9 out of 10 cases where children were poisoned, the detergent pods were actually self-accessed by the child. The company is working with the American Academy of Pediatrics to inform parents and all consumers about the dangers of pod detergents. They are now using an opaque container. This is designed to obscure the Tide Pods that are bright and colorful. They are not changing their product's tricolored, liquid-based formula. This is what gives the detergent pods the appearance of candy.
Legal Help
When a manufacturer produces a product that is a serious health risk to children or even adults, it must be addressed. If a family has been affected by their child being harmed by a laundry detergent pod, they need immediate legal assistance. An experienced lawyer can make certain a family gets fair and adequate compensation for all of the injuries experienced. A family needs to talk with legal professional and know their rights in this situation. A knowledgeable attorney will be able to guide a family through the legal system to get what they deserve under the law.

Tiger Woods wins his first U.S. Masters since 2008
April 22, 2019
Tiger Woods was born in 1975 in Cypress, California. He began golfing at a very young age with his father as his coach and mentor. By the time he was about eight years old, it was clear that he had a natural talent for golfing. Woods even got the opportunity to display his skills on famous shows like Good Morning, America. His career as a professional golfer took off when he won his first U.S. Masters in 1997 at just twenty one years old. He held a record score of 270, and he became both the youngest person to win the title and the first African-American to win it in history. For Woods and the golfing community, this was a huge accomplishment.
Unfortunately for Woods, he began suffering from multiple back and knee injuries, starting in 2008. Eventually, his back surgeries would cause him to drop out of tournaments from 2009 through 2013, with some big career wins in between.
Despite being an excellent golfer and a role model for young golders, Woods was not the best family man. He and his then wife, Elin Nordegren, got divorced in 2010 after an abundance of infidelity rumors. As it turns out, all the rumors were true and he was exposed as a serial cheater.
In addition, because of his injuries and surgeries, Woods became dependant on prescription painkillers. Police found him asleep in his running car in 2017 after almost overdosing on pain meds. Once again, Woods faced another jab to his career which had been shaky since 2009.
Luckily for him, Woods began to regain his title in 2012 after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A year later he won five tournaments, but he also went through another back surgery as he would again in 2017. Regardless of his injuries, he resurfaced in 2018 in the world's top 50.
In 2019, Woods won his first major championship in almost 11 years at the U.S. Masters. It was his fifth Masters win and his fifteenth major title. The win was a big deal for Woods because it stabilized his career and put him back on top.
English teacher, Kurt Miley, grew up watching Woods play and is a big fan of golf. Miley is able to look past Woods' flaws and appreciate the talent that is there.
"He deserved to win because he played incredibly well during the tournament. I understand why people do not like him- he is a very flawed person- but he made a great comeback. It's a great redemption story."
Woods may never fully recover from the events of his past, but he is well on his way to rebuilding his career and is already seeing success.
Miley also stated that he finds Woods to be more relatable now because his evident faults make him appear more human. Perhaps, with his scandals out in the open, Woods will work on fixing his damaged persona. Maybe it will be enough to redeem not only his career but his actions as well.
"Most people are willing to give people a second chance, especially celebrities. He has an incredible story. He was a child prodigy who changed the sport of gold, and then he fell to rock bottom. However, he was able to rise to the top once again and that is amazing," said Miley.
It is no wonder why people cannot help but be a fan of Woods. He has a knack for golf and the has changed the game forever. Whether or not this ends up being Woods' last big win, he has proven that he is here to stay even if he gets knocked down in the process.
He is currently in second place for the most wins in the Professional Golfers' Association with 81 wins just behind Sam Snead who has 82.

Are Marxists and Creationists sharing carrel space at American universities?
A query by Kurt Newman at the ever-interesting US Intellectual History blog generated a lively discussion of the question: How many Marxist historians are out there?
Reading the discussions led me to wonder a different question: Are academic Marxists and creationists flip sides of the same coin?
Full disclosure: I've got thoroughly Marxist intellectual roots myself. As an undergraduate, I found Marxism and its derivatives intensely interesting; those years remain profoundly influential in my thinking. On the other hand, I've never been a creationist, though recently I've been accused of being one. My intellectual world in my formative years had absolutely nothing to do with religion, the Bible, or creationism.
I'm not trying to promote one or the other, but the similarities between the two traditions jumped out at me. Allow me to list a few of the obvious parallels:
- Both Marxists and creationists remain surprisingly common on mainstream college campuses. As David Long discovered when he began his ethnographic study of creationism on secular campuses, creationists are far more common than one might think. The same result for Marxists becomes starkly clear when we read the responses to Newman's query at USIH.
- Both Marxists and creationists could make some claim to being persecuted. Certainly, many mainstream scientists would not want to have creationist faculty in their departments. And, as Newman points out in one of his comments, Marxist professors have a long history of institutional controversy. Newman astutely mentioned in one aside, "(This is to say nothing of the apoplexy that would be induced in large swaths of the political class upon learning that any state-funded school was offering Marxist classes under the guise of US history, which might also say something about the stakes of doing Marxist research in 2012)."
- Both Marxists and creationists could be accused of clinging obdurately to an intellectual tradition whose heyday has come and gone.
- Both Marxist and creationist intellectuals and academics have always been famously and ferociously sectarian. Gramsci-ites might not speak with Trotskyites, who might look down their noses at Bernsteinians, etc. The same is true with today's creationist galaxy of "evolutionary creationism," "young-earth," pre-Adamics, post-Adamics, day-agers, gap theorists, etc. etc. etc.
Of course, some obvious differences jump out at us. Here are a couple:
- Marxism is profoundly secular, though some have called it a religion. Creationism is profoundly religious, though some have insisted on its secular merits.
- The two groups have enormous sociological differences. Creationism does not thrive at elite schools, while Marxism seems to. The background of each group of scholars likely differs immensely.
- Marxism seems to be losing influence outside the academy, while creationism has been steadily gaining strength in politics and popular culture for the past century.
So, are these flip sides of the same phenomenon? Intellectuals who pride themselves on their superior insight into the workings of humanity and history? Folks who take encouragement from the cultural slings and arrows directed their way?
Just askin…

Nick LaPalomento: Hey everybody. Thanks for joining us today here on another Tech Talk. We're here at Brady, Chapman, Holland [and Associates] and I'm speaking with Chris Coburn.
Aldridge utilizes Brady, Chapman, Holland [and Associates] for our insurance and, specifically today, we want to talk about cybersecurity insurance.
So, I think for a lot of people—they probably don't really know what cybersecurity insurance is. So, let's maybe start there. Can you describe for me what it is and really who it's for?
Chris Coburn: I relate it to things like flood insurance and things that people don't necessarily think about outside of typical insurance policies.
If you have lots of employees, um, their personal information can be taken from the company. There's a potential lawsuit there that a cyber liability policy would pay for. Um, if you have customers and you're collecting their data, even worse. Because then you have a customer who has 300 employees and through that line, they hack your company which in turn hacks your customers, which in turn hacks their customers and it goes on and goes on. And the expense cost of handling a situation like that is ridiculous.
Nick: Everything's in QuickBooks, everything is online, everything is in the cloud. So, now there's this extra factor that I don't think a lot of people consider. And so they still think, "Well, I'm still a small mom and pop shop. I don't really need that."
Chris: I think those days are gone, quite honestly. I think, um, I know everyone is using technology. They're—they may not think they are because, "Hey, we're just a small construction company, you know, we don't have that big of an exposure. We don't keep any records." I would challenge them on that.
Uh, I think everyone right now has a cell phone and it's not a flip phone anymore. Now, everyone does emails through phone. Everyone gets on the internet. Everyone has some sort of contact list, database list that they carry around with them all the time. Not even a laptop. We're not even talking about—and laptops are huge out there and people are carrying those around—but most people work from an iPhone.
So, if they're utilizing that for business, I would challenge them that they have a cyber liability risk out there.
Nick: Is it worthwhile for a company whose—maybe they don't have an IT staff, maybe they've just got an internal person who is in charge of it. Um, should they be looking at also considering a managed services provider who can take care of those security things?
Chris: I truly believe that you need both. You have to have risk management and you need to have insurance as well.
Um, y'all aren't ever going to guarantee that if you use us, you're never going to be hacked. You're going to put as many systems in place as you can to prevent that from happening. But if it does happen, here's the insurance piece that'll help you get restored.
Nick: What's the average claim for maybe these small to medium-sized businesses?
Chris: Most claims start off in the $200,000 to $500,000 and that's before any—that's on the light end. Um, but then you've seen the major claims where it's, you know, $2 to $3 to $4 million and people getting hit.
Nick: And these are small to medium-sized businesses, we're not necessarily talking about Disney.
Chris: We're not talking about the Fortune 500 companies out there. We're talking about small to medium-sized businesses here in Houston.
Nick: I don't think it's a question anymore of do you need cyber insurance. It's like, why don't you have it?
Chris: That's a good point and it should be something that's fairly standard just like the general liability and the worker's comp. You're not going to move into a building you own and not insure it from burning down.
How capable are you able to recover from a $250,000 claim that you have to spend that money on?
Nick: On average, what should companies be looking at—and sort of, it can be a broad range—for the cost of having this type of insurance?
Chris: Um, if we feel you're doing a lot of the right things—and when I say "we feel," I mean the insurance marketplace feels—um, and there's some things that we can help implement ahead of time and you're a smaller company, you can have a cyber liability policy for a few thousand dollars with limits up to $500,000 to $100,000 to $1 million if you want to build it up that much.
The criminals are getting smarter and they're realizing that some of the high profile companies are the ones with the risk management in place. They have cyber liability policies. They have barrier, barrier and barrier that they have to get through before they can get a breach, where some of the smaller companies that have a lot of moving parts right now and haven't considered putting those things in might be an easier target.
Nick: Well, thank you so much for tuning in today to Tech Talk. Hopefully you've learned a little bit more about cyber insurance and how you can protect your business from cyberthreats. If you want more information, you can visit our website at www.aldridge.com. We've got plenty of resources there to help you out.
Thanks so much.
Chris: Thank you.

Melbourne - Lucas Pouille admitted that world No 1 Novak Djokovic played so well in their Australian Open semi-final on Friday that he was powerless to resist.
Top seed Djokovic destroyed the Frenchman, seeded 28, in just 83 minutes 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 to sprint into a final against Rafael Nadal.
"I was trying to find a solution, but couldn't find any," said a shattered Pouille after witnessing a near-perfect display from the Serbian 14-time Grand Slam winner.
"I think (his) first mistake came after maybe one set, I don't know," he said of Djokovic who made only five unforced errors in the entire match and hit 24 winners.
"I think he just played amazing. He was too good today."
Pouille is coached by 2006 women's Australian Open champion Amelie Mauresmo.
The Frenchman conceded that Djokovic was out of the blocks so fast that he never had a chance to put any of their carefully hatched plans into action.
"I didn't have time to put a strategy in the match," the world No 31 lamented.
"The strategy was to be aggressive, try to be the one who's leading the point.
"But when he's playing that far from the baseline, 10 centimetres from the baseline all the time, it's tough to do it."
Pouille said that Djokovic, who has won all six of his previous Australian Open finals, would be hard to stop from claiming a record seventh on Sunday.
He believes even Nadal, who has not dropped a set so far and similarly romped past Stefanos Tsitsipas on Thursday, may have a tough time against the rampant Serb on this form.
"I think when he's playing like this, yeah, he's the best in the world for sure.
"We'll see on Sunday how he goes, because Rafa looks pretty amazing, too."

Biblical history on Mount Nebo, Jordan
Please click on the following.
Deuteronomy 32:49 Easy-to-Read Version
"Go to the Abarim Mountains. Go up on Mount Nebo in the land of Moab across from the city of Jericho. Then you can look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites to live in."
Mount Nebo is a flat-topped mountain with a cairn, or a collection of stones used to identify a memorial or a landmark. From the top is a beautiful view of the Dead Sea, the Jordan River, Jericho, and Bethlehem.
On Mount Nebo is Giovanni Fantoni's Brazen Serpent Monument. It symbolizes the serpent Moses took up in the desert as well as the cross.
The Voice Version helped me better understand this passage. This version is written almost as if it were a play. There is also additional information included. I put in bold print that additional information that appears right in the middle of this version and the verses.
Numbers 20:2-12 The Voice Version
2 They ran out of water and again blamed their leaders, Moses and Aaron.
Israelites (arguing with Moses): 3 It would have been so much better if we had simply died along with the rest of our relatives, Korah, Abiram, and Dathan, right in front of the Eternal One. 4-5 Why in the world would you drag us, the Eternal's own group, out of Egypt into this wilderness where we'll soon die and our livestock too? And there aren't any grains, figs, grapes, or pomegranates, and there isn't even any water!
Will these people never learn? But why should they be any different than the rest of us? We all tend to forget God's provision, and we focus on the challenge before us. God has been leading them through a region full of challenges. You would think that after 40 years of daily provision from God in the wilderness these people would quit fearing the worst, especially since they have already gone through this very same experience once before—when they came out of Egypt in Exodus 17. Unfortunately, Moses doesn't follow God's instruction just as it is delivered to him, so he, too, is unfaithful. Instead of "provision" or "water-of-plenty," the place is known as Meribah ("rebellion"). They are to remember their lack of faith and their active rebellion against God their savior every time they mention this place.
6 After hearing them out, Moses and Aaron walked away. At the congregation tent's opening, they collapsed to the ground, interceding for the people. Then and there, the Eternal's glory shone for them to see, 7 and He spoke to Moses.
Eternal One: 8 You and Aaron grab the staff before the covenant chest, gather the whole group so that all the people can see and hear you, and speak to the rock. Tell it to release its water for them to use. In this way, you'll get water from the rock for everyone to drink, including all the animals.
9 So Moses did that. He took the staff just as God told him to do. 10 Then he and his brother gathered all the people in front of the rock.
Moses (to the Israelites): Listen up, you rebellious lot. Should we get water for you from this rock?
11 And as he spoke, Moses raised his hand and hit the rock—once, twice—and immediately the water came gushing out. All drank their fill, people and animals alike. 12 But the Eternal One scolded Moses and Aaron for their actions.
Eternal One: Because you didn't trust Me and treat Me as holy before the Israelites, you will not lead this group into the land I have given them.
It always seemed wrong to me that God didn't allow Moses to enter the Promised Land. Moses knew the Lord face to face. Moses led God's People out of slavery in Egypt. Moses brought down the stones upon which God wrote the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 31:18 Easy-to-Read Version
When God finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone tablets of the agreement. God had written on the stones with his finger.
Deuteronomy 34:10-12 Easy-to-Read Version
Israel never had another prophet like Moses: The Lord knew Moses face to face. The Lord sent Moses to do powerful miracles in the land of Egypt. Pharaoh, all his officers, and all the people in Egypt saw those miracles. No other prophet ever did as many powerful and amazing things as Moses did for the Israelites to see.
What did Moses do that was so wrong? Why wasn't Moses allowed to go into the Promised Land? The answer of course is in Your Word, Lord. After doing some research and looking carefully at the scriptures, it is very clear what Moses did and did not do.
Moses did not obey God; he was instructed to speak to the rock; Moses struck the rock with his staff not once but twice. Moses angrily struck the rock with the staff; God never intended this miracle to be done in an angry manner. Finally, Moses said 'we', meaning he and Aaron, brought the water out of the rock, which they didn't, it was the Lord's doing.
Deuteronomy 34:5-7 The Living Bible
So Moses, the disciple of the Lord, died in the land of Moab as the Lord had said. The Lord buried him in a valley near Beth-peor in Moab, but no one knows the exact place.
Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was perfect and he was as strong as a young man.
Madaba, is known for it's amazing mosaics.
Please click on the following.
The Madaba Map is one of the oldest maps of the Holy Land. No one is quite sure why the map was created; it clearly was something that took much time and effort, indicating a need or desire to permanently and beautifully record the size and scope of The Holy Lands and surrounding areas.
It is a mosaic map and was discovered in the 1880's. The map is detailed; there are a few discrepancies, like the size of Jerusalem; it is much larger and located in the center of the map, which emphasizes it's importance to Christians. The approximate size of the map is 70 feet by 24 feet. The colors used are four shades of red, six shades of blue, and six shades of green. It is estimated that the map is made up of over two million mosaic stones.

Questions Reverend Kat, as a spiritual life coach, hears a lot: Do I deserve that? Am I asking too much? No! Read on!
Kat believes that there is a "sweet spot" for everybody and to be spiritually aligned and serving a higher purpose is a "pursuit."
Hitting the sweet spot is a higher pursuit that requires effort and attention! You can start by thinking about moments in your life when you felt the most alive. Let your mind go down that path!
The sweet spot is where you have personal joy, feel your own self-worth, and are happy. Still, you may have to stretch, get out of your comfort zone. It is not about settling – it is about knowing because it makes you happy.
There are 3 elements to hitting the sweet spot: personal joy, professional success (doing something in the world), and having a positive impact.
In her exciting new show Reverend Kat gives clues on how to find your sweet spot. Don't miss it – her instruction is thoughtful and a joy to listen to!
And remember what Reverend Kat always says, "Shine your light!"
About Reverend Kat (from her website):
I began my career as a Spiritual Leader when I was 7 years old. Sitting in the field beside my house one day, I asked God why some people were so unhappy. A real voice answered (no kidding),"Your job on this earth is to teach people about love and how to have what they want in life".
From that day on, I have pursued this with a passion. From my original dream of becoming either a missionary or an actress, I have crafted a career that is grounded in Spirit as I tune into a channel that broadcasts what's in others' hearts and souls.
As a spiritual leader, I teach, write, and perform on life's stage… and, as the voice predicted so long ago, I teach people about love and how to manifest from the heart.
I have faced many challenges in my life including the death of my mother when I was young, being kidnapped as a teenager and leaving a 20 plus year marriage in my 40's. I have learned a ton through the school of hard knocks and delightful surprises as well as the training noted below.

Basically, I'm one of those "has-been" guys you see at the gym, although I try not to lament what I did in the past and compare it to now (out loud, at least). I've been sitting on my ass, getting fatter and fatter, and finally I decided that enough was enough, that my job at UPS doing irreg wasnt enough, and that dammit I need to get in shape.
I started at 285ish, and now I'm at 250 with 22% body fat. I'm 6'2.
I found out about Animal from bb.com when I was googling exercise workouts, and stumbled upon http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/animalpak78.htm.
My split so far has been:
Sunday: Chest
Monday: Shoulders
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Arms
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Back
Saturday: Off
My diet has been crap, but when my cycle of cuts wears off I'm going to try it again with the ketogenic diet that Ox has been vouching, at least in the first 40 something pages of his monster thread that I read while being a pain in the ass to the U-Reps trying to get me activated.
I first tried this stack:
Animal Pak/Omega/Stak/Cuts, and I cut a lot of weight off even though I didnt follow the diet really well. I've noticed getting stronger, but I'm not sure how well the stak is helping me. What I have noticed is that I feel better than I have since I was in high school!
When I start my next cycle, I'm thinking about trying Pak/Nitro/Pump/Omega/Cuts/uni-liver, and trying out rage a few times.
I'm sort of worried because I never used creatine before, so I don't really know what to expect when I start it up.
Hopefully I'll keep building while I cut this unneccessary poundage off!

Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus (Matthew 14:29). But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened and he began to sink. What I want to know is, how does one "begin" to sink? Was Peter only slowly getting wetter? If he didn't drop like a rock into the water, his faith must have been at least strong enough to look at Jesus with a worried, confused plea of "Help me understand this, Jesus! I actually am walking on water, like you, but I don't understand it. We're breaking the laws of nature here. This is really very awesome, but my ankles are now starting to get wet."
It wasn't the waves licking at his ankles that distracted him from the full meaning of this event. It was the wind. Wind is something we never see; we only know it is there because we feel it, hear it, and observe its effects. Peter, like us, began to put trust in his doubts, in his lack of understanding, while at the same time still trusting Jesus. He could cry out, "Lord, save me!" because he no longer feared that Jesus was just a spooky ghost, an unreal illusion. He knew that Jesus was real, right there at his side, ready and able and desiring to rescue him.
In our relationship with our sweetheart, we feel, we hear, and we interpret circumstances, failing to see what Jesus sees. We can feel when something is wrong, but an emotional reaction will rarely give us an accurate picture of what's going on. We hear a tone of voice (or in the case of emails and texting, we think we hear it) that warns us that something is wrong, but our awareness of what's beneath the surface will rarely reach the bottom of it.
A solid relationship depends on the strength of Jesus' ability and desire to help us. We need to give our confusions to Jesus and give him our interpretations of what's happening. Then, in this attitude of humility, even though we begin to sink into worry or depression or loneliness or fear, Jesus — who knows far more about the laws of nature and divine power than we do — will stretch out his hand, hold onto us, and say, "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt? Stop trying to get answers for everything. Just keep walking forward with me."
Reflection Questions:
- What sinking feeling have I had recently? Where is Jesus in this?
- What worry, fear, or other sinking feeling is my beloved suffering? How can I be the helping hand of Jesus?
Strengthen your relationship:
Read together Matthew 14:22-36. Then relate different pieces of the story to your own lives. Share what you think Jesus is saying about it. Then turn it into a prayer thanking Jesus for his help.

Central American coffee producers to ditch CSCE?
24 April 1998
Central American coffee producers to ditch CSCE?
CENTRAL American coffee producers are considering leaving New Yorks Coffee,
Sugar and Cocoa Exchange over plans to allow Brazilian coffee to be deliverable against the exchanges benchmark Coffee "C" Contract.
They say the introduction of large quantities of Brazilian washed arabica would distort the market and affect the demand for their own crops.
Meanwhile, coffee plummeted on the London International Financial Futures Exchange yesterday with the July contract ending at $1,760/ t, down $156 from
Wednesdays close.
Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade rallied after weekly export figures came in at the upper end of market forecasts, but news of improved growing conditions in Australia and Canada put pressure on prices. By midday the May contract was trading 3¢ lower at $2,925/ t.

The first part lasted for a long time, almost 3 hours, and I actually left midway to take a shower, only to be dragged back. I had just thrown an entire water bucket at a boy whose water gun was outrageously large, the entire bucket and water, not just the water. He was angry and was expressing this by spraying me. I felt that it would be safer to retreat to our apartment and call it a day, Holi wise. Later when I was looking for Eliza, I was dragged in into the fight again, but managed to change back into my Holi clothes¹ before ruining a new pair.
These pictures were taken at the beginning of the fight before we were totally covered with Holi colors.
The lunch was fun and followed by most of the female population² of the colony³ dancing. Everybody seems to know the choreography to about 6 dances and they taught us that, while we taught them the Macarena and the Bunny Hop.
The bonfire took place this evening, at around 7:00. Security had set it up very artistically; the logs were arranged almost perfectly symmetrically. We watched the logs burn for a while as people fed them newspaper, then burned incense, and threw popcorn and other stuff into it. Some people walked around the fire and held a cup of water and let it drip to the ground. Many times more than three people held onto the cup at the same time.
¹Everybody wore old clothes because the Holi colors do not come out easily. At the end, you couldn't tell who you were spraying because everyone was covered in such a thick layer of color and everyone's clothing was a kind of pinkish-purple color.
²Only girls and women seem to dance
³The word colony is sometimes used to describe your apartment complex.

As the Holiday season is coming up, everyone is going to be looking for Christmas presents ideas and it's an opportunity for businesses to reach new customers by developing new ideas that are trendy.
What is trendy nowadays when it comes to beverages? Tea.
Whether you are aware of it or not, the tea market is expending as the tea-drinking demographic is widening. In spite of America's love for coffee, the tea drinking rate is growing faster than the coffee drinking rate and there are many explanation for that. While tea contains substances that have been associated with preventing heart diseases and cancer, we are still not sure whether or not the high caffeine content is a risk factor and the healthy benefits of drinking tea are a great boost to the American tea industry.
So the tea industry is blooming. What better Christmas present that a pretty and reusable box filled with all kind of delicious tea bags good for you? This beautiful wooden box with window is the perfect gift box that can be kept and re-used even when what was stored inside is gone! It is then up to the lucky receiver to do whatever they want with the empty box that is great for transporting and serving food or store different items.
But tea isn't the only thing you can offer in these beautiful boxes. Another trendy thing – especially around Christmas time – is macarons, and luckily inserts are available for this box that can fit up to 52 macarons. What a delicious Christmas gift idea! And have I mentioned that it is an Eco-friendly box? What else could you ask for!
Get the box and fill it up with anything you want to offer, imagination is your only limit! Great surprise, these boxes can also be used for baking when you take the lid off and are oven safe up to 420F. So many great features make these wonderful wooden boxes the perfect gift box.
Check it out, with all of our other Eco-friendly products at www.packnwood.com.

Introduction: Storybook and Fingerpuppets (#5)
The fifth Grandma Van's Print-and-Mail book includes paper finger puppets that can be stored in the pockets that are formed inside of the cover!
Step 1: Print.
Print the PDF included in this Instructable.
Print to both sides of the paper and make sure the "flip on the short side." Set aside the last page. (The finger puppets will be assembled in step 8.)
Step 2: Cut.
Cut the first two pieces of paper along the center, lengthwise.
Step 3: Stack and Fold.
Stack the pieces of paper so that pages are in order.
Fold the pages inward so that pages 8 and 9 meet each other in the middle.
Step 4: Fold the Cover.
Cut about an inch from a letter-sized sheet of cover weight paper.
Fold the paper so that a pocket is formed.
Step 5: Sew.
Sew the folded story pages into the cover, with the pockets on the inside.
Step 6: Trim.
Any time the paper and the cover is made from the same size paper as the pages, the pages will extend beyond the cover.
If this bothers you, trim with scissors or an x-Acto knife.
Step 7: Tape the Pockets.
Open the booklet and tape the pocket.
(Or, if you want to be really fancy, sew the edges!)
Step 8: Make the Finger Puppets.
Page five of the PDF contains the finger puppets, the bridge, and some additional instructions.
Cut on the dashed line. Fold on the dotted line. Tape the top and one side. Repeat for all four characters.
Step 9: Make the Bridge.
Make the bridge.
Cut out the bridge. Fold at the white dotted line, with the gray pattern on the outside. Cut the slots indicated with a bold black line. Fold inward at each of the black dotted lines. Interlock as shown.
Step 10: Place the Puppets in the Pockets.
Store the puppets in the pocket. "Unlock" the slots of the bridge, flatten, and store in the pocket.

Wartime tunes and a traditional high tea was enjoyed as part of a springtime social put on for the elderly.
More than 50 pensioners were invited to the Rotary Club of Maidenhead event held yesterday at the St John Ambulance Hall in York Road.
Guests enjoyed a glass of sherry on arrival before tucking into finger sandwiches, cakes and jelly all hand-made by rotary volunteers.
Entertainment was provided by singing ensemble The Gas Lights, who performed songs from the first and the second world wars including 'A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square."
The Mayor of Windsor and Maidenhead, Cllr Andrew Jenner, and his wife Julia attended the event and the mayor delivered a short speech themed around the Great War centenary including tales he had been told by his uncle who lived through it.
Rotary Club of Maidenhead chairman Pat Lattimer has stressed the importance of events like these for people who live alone.
She said: "One lady at the party was saying that she no longer has any friends or family because she has outlived them.
"When these older people accept the invitation and come out and enjoy themselves it is really worth while putting in the effort."

25 Keys to a Joyful and Lasting Marriage
(in no particular order)
One of the keys to our marriage has always been to realize that we're not experts and that our way may not be best for others. In fact, over the years, we've been asked to do "Marriage Retreats" and other types of events and we've replied (with a smirk), "One of the secrets to our marriage is not doing marriage retreats!" So, this list is not comprehensive or authoritative. But, rather just a quick, random, spontaneous list from Chilly and me as we sit together in Florida celebrating our FIRST 25 years of marriage… Enjoy!
1. Smile every day — often!
2. Talk (and listen) to God before you talk to each other.
3. Buy good toilet paper and roll it over-the-top.
4. Fight for your 'sabbath day' — and make it count.
5. Last one out of bed makes the bed.
6. Say I love you as often as you can! Also, compliment each other. Lots of eye-contact.
7. Don't discuss important things when you're overly emotional (angry, sad, depressed, etc).
8. Laugh… A LOT!
9. Don't compare or compete with each other — revel in uniqueness!
10. Honor one another. Never tease or embarrass the other beyond what's kind.
11. Live translucent not transparent. Yes, allow others to see inside but not every detail.
12. Live Amenable (even better than accountable).
13. Follow God's dreams rather than expect Him to follow ours.
14. Make love not war (and everyone just went, "Oooooo!")
15. Discipline in unity — be on the same team.
16. Be present (alert & responsive) not just around.
17. Take time away from 'everything' together and at times, alone.
18. Make sure God remains head of the home & marriage.
19. Don't make your spouse your only friend — do different things with different people.
20. Live above reproach (opposite sex, computers, free time, interests, etc).
21. In disagreements or decisions, avoid words like: Always and Never.
22. Communicate LOVE the way your spouse needs it not the way you want it.
23. Raise your children as individuals — no two are the same. Enjoy their uniqueness!
24. Seek wisdom from those who have lived it — not just from peers, blogs & books.
25. Don't think you're an expert… EVER. Avoid writing lists for the first 25 years!
Hope you've enjoyed this little random list. I'm confident that we left out some essential things that may have made you think, "what about this?" — we're just happy that it's got you thinking, laughing and reading. We're SO THANKFUL for our marriage! We're also thankful for all of you who know us and still love us! Thanks for praying for our marriage and family, for reading our blogs, for sharing in our crazy little world and for living such extraordinary lives. You inspire us and encourage us to FEARLESSLY go for God's best!
Life, marriage and family are all wonderful ADVENTURES not tedious chores or mindless routines! Your path is planned by God and is filled with unexpected blessings and opportunities. IF you avoid the ordinary, you'll live the extraordinary! This is our prayer for our lives and YOURS!
Well, it's back to the beach for us!
CHECK BACK in 25 years for our next list!
More IN Love than EVER,
Chilly and Netta

The year 1976 brought the 25th Anniversary of the opening of the Royal Festival Hall, and to celebrate this the BBC commissioned a 20-minute work from Peter Racine Fricker for a concert of English
music. Fricker chose to write a short single movement symphony, and as an FRCO, he decided to include an organ part. Gillian Weir was invited to be the soloist, and in this article from the RCO Journal of 2017 she describes the event. Weir had previously given the premiere (also at the RFH) of Fricker's Toccata: Gladius Domini, and of his Intrada at the Cardiff Festival in 1972, as well as many other performances of his
idiomatic and energetic pieces.
Gillian Weir also discusses the performance of a later concerto by Fricker, Laudi Concertati, which was dedicated to her, and which she broadcast live with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. She comments on the performance of organ concertos in our concert halls in general, and suggests a considerable available repertoire on which conductors and concert promoters could draw.

About us
Established in 1874, St. Paul's Episcopal Church is the first church built in the neighborhood of Woodside, New York. The original construction was a Carpenter Gothic wooden building. However, as the congregation grew larger, an adjacent brick building was constructed in 1957 and remains the main sanctuary for all activities to this day.
When you attend one of our liturgical services on a Sunday morning, you will encounter, engage-in, and experience the rich long-standing Episcopal traditions rooted in the Book of Common Prayer, and also elements of contemporary styles of worship.
Our church community is diverse. It is one that is multi-ethnic and intergenerational. As a family of God, we are united by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and dedicated to sharing His Love to all.
St. Paul's is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island; The Right Reverend Lawrence C. Provenzano is our Diocesan Bishop. It is also a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion of Churches.


text: Every business owner needs to consider how to approach network security. This is especially true with the litany of threats that face their organization's network from simply being connected to the Internet. It may sound like an overstatement at first, but when you consider what some huge corporations--that have some very deep pockets--have dealt with very recently, it becomes evident that figuring out how to approach cybersecurity is one of the most important considerations any business owner has to make.

Biomedical research (or experimental medicine), in general simply known as medical research, is the basic research, applied research, or translational research conducted to aid and support the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies. A new paradigm to biomedical research is being termed translational research, which focuses on iterative feedback loops between the basic and clinical research domains to accelerate knowledge translation from the bedside to the bench, and back again. Medical research may involve doing research on public health, biochemistry, clinical research, microbiology, physiology, oncology, surgery and research on many other non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
The increased longevity of humans over the past century can be significantly attributed to advances resulting from medical research. Among the major benefits have been vaccines for measles and polio, insulin treatment for diabetes, classes of antibiotics for treating a host of maladies, medication for high blood pressure, improved treatments for AIDS, statins and other treatments for atherosclerosis, new surgical techniques such as microsurgery, and increasingly successful treatments for cancer. New, beneficial tests and treatments are expected as a result of the Human Genome Project. Many challenges remain, however, including the appearance of antibiotic resistance and the obesity epidemic.
Most of the research in the field is pursued by biomedical scientists, however significant contributions are made by other biologists, as well as chemists and physicists. Medical research, done on humans, has to strictly follow the medical ethics as sanctioned in the Declaration of Helsinki and elsewhere. In all cases, the research ethics has to be respected.
Preclinical research is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials (testing in humans) can begin, and during which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data is collected.
The main goals of pre-clinical studies are to determine a product's ultimate safety profile. Products may include new or iterated or like-kind medical devices, drugs, gene therapy solutions, etc.
A clinical trial is a comparison test of a medication or other medical treatment, versus a placebo, other medications and devices, or the standard medical treatment for a patient's condition. Clinical trials vary greatly in size: from a single researcher in one hospital or clinic to an international multicenter trial with several hundred participating researchers on several continents. The number of patients tested can range from as few as a dozen to several thousands.
Research funding in many countries comes from research bodies which distribute money for equipment and salaries. In the United Kingdom, funding bodies such as the Medical Research Council derive their assets from UK tax payers, and distribute this to institutions in a competitive manner. The Wellcome Trust is the UK's largest non-governmental source of funds for biomedical research and provides over £600 million per year in grants to scientists and funds for research centres.[1]
In the United States, the most recent data from 2003[2] suggest that about 94 billion dollars were provided for biomedical research in the United States. The National Institutes of Health and pharmaceutical companies collectively contribute 26.4 billion dollars and 27.0 billion dollars, respectively, which constitute 28% and 29% of the total, respectively. Other significant contributors include biotechnology companies (17.9 billion dollars, 19% of total), medical device companies (9.2 billion dollars, 10% of total), other federal sources, and state and local governments. Foundations and charities, led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, contributed about 3% of the funding.
In Australia, in 2000/01 (the most recent data available), about $1.7B was spent on biomedical research,[3] with just under half ($800M, 47%) sourced from the Commonwealth government (all sources). About $540M came from business investments/funding and a further $220M from private or not-for-profit organisations (totalling 44%). The balance was from state and local governments. Since then there has been a significant in government funding through the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), whose expenditure on research was nearly A$700 million in 2008-09.[4]
The enactment of orphan drug legislation in some countries has increased funding available to develop drugs meant to treat rare conditions, resulting in breakthroughs that previously were uneconomical to pursue.
Medical research is highly regulated. National regulatory authorities oversee and monitor medical research, such as for the development of new drugs. In the USA the Food and Drug Administration oversees new drug development, in Europe the European Medicines Agency (see also EudraLex), and in Japan the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japan). The World Medical Association develops the ethical standards for the medical profession, involved in medical research. The most fundamental of them is the Declaration of Helsinki. The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) works on the creation of rules and guidelines for the development of new medication, such as the guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP). All ideas of regulation are based on a country's ethical standards code. This is why treatment of a particular disease in one country may not be allowed, but is in another.
Fields of biomedical research include:
Isaac Newton, Science, Biology, Stephen Hawking, Scientific method
Democratic Party (United States), Rockville, Maryland, Silver Spring, Maryland, Bethesda, Maryland, Maryland
Skin, Foreskin, Digital object identifier, Mucocutaneous zone, Sexual effects of circumcision
Evolution, Embryology, Physics, Charles Darwin, Molecular biology

Bus Issue Sparks Controversy In Grants
School Bus Drivers Threaten To Stop Service Friday
Students in one New Mexico school district almost didn't have their regular rides home after class on Friday.
Some school bus drivers in Cibola County said they're frustrated, and a few of them threatened not to run their afternoon routes.
Just 10 days into a new relationship between 35 school bus drivers and the Grants-Cibola County School District and the ride is already bumpy.
KOAT-TV was first to report about the situation in the western New Mexico county after bus contractor Mesa Transportation decided to get out of the business and the school system was left having to run its own buses.
Superintendent Kilino Marquez said the district hired Mesa's bus drivers and made them school district employees as of this month. But the bus drivers said their first paycheck on Friday was shockingly small even though they had received a raise.
Marquez said that now as public employees, they may not have anticipated benefits being taken out or realized their checks are prorated so they can get paid even when they're not driving.
"You deduct a certain amount each pay period so you continue to get paid during the school breaks, spring break and summer break," Marquez said.
None of the school bus drivers who spoke with KOAT said they felt comfortable going on camera. They said they feared losing their jobs over it. But they did say off-camera that some of them had actually debated not doing their afternoon routes on Friday to protest their paychecks. They did eventually decide against that.
"We were ready," Marquez said. "We have enough substitute drivers. If we need to, we would pick up a bus and drive kids home."
Marquez said district officials are willing to sit down with every bus driver to explain their paychecks in detail.
The school bus drivers told KOAT that they don't believe the deductions from the paycheck should have made their checks so small. Some said the amount they received doesn't even make the job worth it.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has been engaging with the shareholders of highway concessionaire PLUS Malaysia Bhd with the objective of reducing the burden of tolls on highway users, said Khazanah Nasional Bhd today.
The country's sovereign wealth fund said it had provided advice and viewpoints to the government regarding the proposed sale of PLUS.
"We have provided advice and viewpoints to the government and have engaged with it to assist in determining policy considerations towards achieving the objectives," it said in a statement today to clarify media reports on PLUS yesterday.
Khazanah said the government had been engaging with the shareholders of PLUS with the objective of reducing the burden of tolls on highway users, relieving the government of compensation pressures, as well as respecting the value of the highway concession for existing debt and equity holders.
"Khazanah would like to emphasise again that throughout the entire engagement process, the government has been thoroughly professional and has upheld the appropriate governance in striving for the best resolution to the matter," it added.
Khazanah said it was aware of several unsolicited offers for the takeover of PLUS, however, the parties concerned have not engaged with them directly.
Khazanah owns 51% of PLUS via its subsidiary, UEM Group Bhd, while the remaining 49% is owned by the Employees Provident Fund
According to reports, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said the Cabinet would discuss the proposed takeover of PLUS and Gamuda Bhd's four highways in the Klang Valley during its meeting today, with an announcement on the matter to be made after the Cabinet meeting. — Bernama

One of the interesting developments in the area of BEPS is the emergence of what's been called a "secondary BEPS agenda" in regard to developing countries. This phrase was used by Joel Cooper of the World Bank at a Asia Pacific transfer pricing conference in Singapore.
He is referring to a number of issues which have been identified as of particular interest to developing countries. Some of these issues are covered in the OECD's report on the impact of BEPS in low income countries.
The issues include the following :
- The question of tax incentives to encourage foreign investment : good policy or bad?
- Taxation of indirect transfers
- Outbound service fee payments
- In regard to transfer pricing : lack of information on comparables
- And should developing countries show more reluctance to enter into double tax treaties?

External MBR system launched by Aquatech
Aquatech International has launched a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system in which the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane is positioned outside the bioreactor rather than submerged in it or in a downstream membrane tank.Aquatech says its new Aqua-EMBR offers several benefits over submerged MBR systems, which already have advantages over conventional activated-sludge systems.
Because the Aqua-EMBR system has no membrane tank, it can be built more quickly. Installed as one or more skids on a flat concrete slab, the system eliminates the need for complex civil engineering and lowers the risk for contractors due to construction delays caused by weather conditions, environmental or other local uncertainties.
The UF membrane modules are arranged vertically and aerated continuously at the bottom. Mixed liquor is transported via "air lift pump" action through the module, while the membrane feed/recirculation pump is only used to overcome the hydraulic losses and maintain a relatively constant flow of mixed liquor through the membrane.
This innovative design reduces much of the feed-pumping energy requirement needed to maintain high crossflow velocity. Permeate flow, which is inside-out from the membrane modules, is collected by a permeate pump.
Because no membrane components are submerged in the biological mixed liquor, the biological and membrane systems can be operated and optimized independently. The membrane operation is automatically controlled.
With its tight membrane pore size (nominal/maximum 30 nm/50 nm), Aqua‑EMBR produces high effluent quality - an important factor for reuse purposes and future regulations. Applications for Aqua-EMBR include wastewater treatment or reclamation in new industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) or in existing plants undergoing upgrades.
Importantly, the Aqua-EMBR system offers an operator-friendly working environment. Operators do not see, smell or come in contact with the biosludge, nor do they work on top of open membrane tanks where the air could contain harmful aerosols. Should maintenance be required, Aqua-EMBR's membrane modules can be removed or replaced without any contact with the biosludge.
Another significant benefit is the Aqua-EMBR's higher operating flux - approximately 50% higher than submerged systems. Because 50% less surface area of membrane is needed per unit volume of permeate production, the low membrane cost per unit volume filtrate means savings in capital and operating costs. Maintenance costs, such as labor and chemicals, are also reduced.
One of the first applications for Aqua-EMBR was treatment of effluent generated from a chemical manufacturing plant, where Aquatech successfully commissioned a 50 m³/d capacity plant. After proper sludge acclimatization, it was possible to reduce chemical oxygen demand by 85% and consistently achieve a reduction of more than 95% of biochemical oxygen demand.

17 Mar The Importance of Regular Eating
Regular eating is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of achieving your weight loss goals, right? But actually, it is one of the most important tools that you can use to keep yourself on track. Our Health Coach, Ellie, is on the blog today to explain why!
Picture this…
You started the day feeling great, really motivated to have a healthy day. You decide to skip breakfast and hold out till lunch. By 11 you're really feeling the hunger and have reached for a piece of fruit. No good, still very hungry. Lunch time, a bowl of soup, healthy right? It's now nearing 4 o'clock and the temptation of the office cakes is becoming near impossible to resist… ok one piece… and maybe a biscuit too. Home time, you arrive back at the house and oh my goodness are you hungry. You reach for the first thing you see in the cupboard, a share bag of crisps, telling yourself you'll just have a few. Next thing you know the packet is empty and you're wondering how this happened. Healthy eating can start tomorrow, and you're already on the phone to order a Chinese.
Sound familiar? We've all been there.
So how can regular eating help us here?
You may have heard the term 'blood sugars'. This simply means the amount of sugar that is circulating in our blood at a given time that is ready to provide us with energy. In an ideal situation we would like to keep our blood sugar levels fairly stable throughout the day, allowing for slight natural fluctuations. When we wake up after a night sleep we have usually gone a good 8-10 hours without any food. Our blood sugar levels will be very low and we may feel physically lethargic. This means it's time to break-the-fast, AKA time for breakfast and get our blood sugar up to a nice level.
By mid-morning we will have digested our breakfast and probably be ready for a little pick me up, a small snack to tide us over until lunch. Similarly in the afternoon, around 4 o'clock you may start to feel hunger creeping back and go for snack number 2 to keep you going until dinner.
So is snacking on biscuits and cake fine?
This is the slightly more scientific part, so stick with me. All carbohydrate containing foods have an allocated GI or 'Glycaemic Index' score. This ranges from 0-100 and indicates the rate at which this particular food will cause our blood sugar to rise. So for example, a piece of cake would have a high GI score and will send our blood sugar levels soaring pretty rapidly. On the other hand a bowl of porridge will have a lower GI score and cause a slow, gentle rise in blood sugar over a longer time frame.
This isn't to say that foods with a high GI are the devil and to be avoided at all costs, but the problem is that these particular foods will sky rocket our blood sugar followed by a dramatic crash. You know when you feed kids sweets and they go loopy for about half an hour then suddenly fall to a slump of exhaustion? This is perfect example of high GI foods causing a dramatic spike and drop in blood sugar. The other issue here is that as soon as we allow our blood sugar to drop too low (e.g. if we haven't eaten in a long time or have experienced a 'crash' after eating very sugary foods) we tend to get that feeling of intense hunger and want to grab the nearest food available to restore our sugar levels. This is when we tend to make less good choices and results in us feeling like failures. And so the vicious cycle of restriction and 'failure' continues.
So what changes can I make?
First things first, stop being so bloomin' hard on yourself! Physical hunger is a natural response and we shouldn't be trying to ignore it!
Try and stick to 3 regular meals with a couple of small snacks.
Think about what it is that you're eating. Realistically, does a bowl of Frosties keep you satisfied for long? probably not. So maybe choose something with a less sugar and more protein and unsaturated fat to keep you feeling fuller for longer. Maybe eggs on toast or some porridge with a bit of peanut butter if that floats your boat.
Stop viewing foods as 'bad'. A food cannot be bad, it is simply food. When you change your mindset to see food as a perfectly normal part of our everyday life that keeps us fuelled to do all the things we enjoy, things become a lot easier. Instead of thinking, "I shouldn't eat that chocolate biscuit because it's bad for me" change your thought process to "Right now I'm hungry and I know that the biscuit won't fill me up. I'm going to have a piece of brown toast for now and if I still fancy a biscuit later, I'll have it then".
If you are interested in learning more about nutrition, there's a variety of options our Service offers.
