How high-dose supplements can help
Wednesday 26 June 2002
Old-age pensioners lurking around the back of pubs, cash in hand to score illegal substances. Spotty teenagers busted in their bedrooms by customs officers for ordering outlawed pills to treat their acne over the internet. These are a couple of the more fevered scenarios being proposed at the moment as a result of an EU directive that slipped into English law almost unnoticed at the end of last month.
At first sight, the Food Supplement Directive (C5-0640/2001) couldn't appear more boring and innocuous. Concerned with harmonising the permitted levels of supplements throughout the EU, it is packed with soporific phrases such as "the maximum and minimum amounts of vitamins and minerals referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 13(2)". But in fact this is inflammatory stuff. If past reactions are any thing to go by, MPs' post bags will be bulging, e-mail servers will be overloading with petitions, and celebrities will be denouncing it at photo-opportunities.
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin E for general health is 22 international units (IU). But if you are worried about your heart, at present you can act on evidence which indicates that taking 800 IU of vitamin E may reduce the risk of heart disease, and buy high-dose vitamin E capsules over the counter. Or you can buy high levels of selenium, which may be protective against cancer, or B6, which may help combat PMT and multiple sclerosis. But if the legislative train that was set in motion this month isn't derailed in some way, within three years such purchases will become illegal.
"This is an issue of freedom," says Sue Croft of Consumers For Health Choice, one of several groups campaigning on this issue. "There is no reason in health or safety to restrict the sale of these nutrients. If they are outlawed plenty of people, myself included, will keep on taking them." The campaigners, who also come from groups such as Campaign for Health Freedom (www.healthfreedommovement.com) and the magazine What Doctors Don't Tell You, have considerable experience – the battle over UK vitamins is a long-running one.
The fact that there is no legal upper limit on the levels of supplements that can be sold in the UK has long been a sore point with the Brussels bureaucracy. In most European states levels are strictly controlled, generally being set at no more than twice the RDA. This makes it hard for vitamin suppliers to sell in all member states. The stated aim of this directive is to standardise the industry and create a level playing field for trade, rather than to set a safe, healthy ceiling for the consumption of supplements. That means drastically reducing the levels allowed in the UK.
The proposal provokes remarkably strong emotions – in fact, the tone on the fringes of the campaign becomes positively evangelical. Dr Bernard Rath's organisation sells megavitamin supplements which he controversially claims are an actual cure for cancer and heart disease. He claims to have discovered a revolutionary new form of medicine called "cellular medicine".
"For the first time in history, I have proved a direct link between chronic vitamin deficiency and the development of most common health problems," he declares (www.drrath.com/new_default/new_main_ uk/def_uk.htm). Dr Rath believes that this directive is a plot against him by the pharmaceutical companies. Since his treatments will lead to the collapse of the drugs industry, he claims, they have lobbied Brussels to have his "natural, side-effect-free remedies declared illegal".
Rath's response highlights the dramatic shift in our ideas about health and medicine over the last decade. Health has become just another consumer issue. People like to shop around. Twenty per cent of adults are now estimated to take supplements in the UK; encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their health now appears to be government policy.
The internet has made the latest medical findings available to everyone, and results continue to indicate that supplements can be effective, both in preventing and treating certain disorders. Many studies also show that individuals vary widely in their requirements. Yet contrastingly, the directive clings to an older, more traditional view; it states: "An adequate and varied diet could, under normal circumstances, provide all necessary nutrients."
Setting one level for the whole continent is unhelpful when, for example, the vitamin D requirements of those in the North are inevitably greater than those of people living in the sunny South. And might not children fed on the all-too-common UK diet of high fat and refined carbohydrates have different vitamin and mineral needs from children brought up on a Mediterranean diet?
The rise in the use of supplements has been driven entirely by consumer demand. The medical profession has been at best indifferent, at worst hostile. A major factor in the increased use of supplements has been growing concern over the dangerous side effects of drug treatments. The directive asserts that "excessive intake of vitamins and minerals may result in adverse effects and therefore necessitate the setting of maximum safe levels". But campaigners point out how safe vitamins are when compared with drugs. An estimated 100,000 Americans and 6,000 Britons are killed by reaction to prescription drugs every year.
The directive, although already part of UK law, has not yet set any levels – that will be done over the next three years. It also contains a list of permitted "nutrients and nutrient sources". Anything not on the list will be banned when the directive comes into force in 2005. The existing list, according to the campaigners, omits 300 nutrients currently available in the UK. It includes, for instance, no "chelated" minerals – those which are easier to absorb because they are attached to a biological molecule. Manufacturers can submit dossiers over the next three years, putting the case to add a nutrient. But each dossier is expensive and current estimates are that resources are available to submit a total of just 14.
So what will people do when the legislation comes in? Well, they could take an awful lot of pills. Getting a gram of vitamin C, if the new levels are twice the RDA, would mean taking eight tablets. That would probably cost eight times as much as at present, since the cost of the ingredients is only a small part of the total price. When a black market inevitably emerges, controls over ingredients and quality will vanish.
Vitamin C (RDA 40mg)
Out of 38 trials, 37 found that the colds of subjects who took over 1,000mg of vitamin C a day cleared up more quickly and were less severe.
Vitamin B6 (RDA 1.2mg) and Folic acid (RDA 200mcg)
High levels of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood can indicateheart-attack risk. Taking a combination of 25mg of vitamin B6 and 400mcg of folic acid can lower homocysteine levels.
Vitamin D (RDA 200 1U)
A new study shows that African-American women in the US are likely to suffer from dangerously low levels of vitamin D.Even women who took the RDA of supplements still had low levels. The researchers recommended increasing the RDA to 1,000 IU.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2 RDA 1.2mg)
There is clinical evidence that giving schizophrenics doses of 2,000mg a day can greatly improve their condition.

Paths of Glory
Stanley Kubrick was born on 26 July 1928 in the Bronx, USA
Review Paths of Glory review – Kubrick's first world war masterpiece5 / 5 stars
The horror of war is laid bare when soldiers face execution to placate tyrannical officers after their plans go awry, writes Peter Bradshaw
The re-release of 1957's Paths Of Glory is a reminder of his peerless mastery of battle scenes and misanthropy
Alex von Tunzelmann: Stanley Kubrick brings war criminals to justice in his unflinching portrayal of the war, but unfortunately history wasn't as kind
Terry Gilliam on why watching Kubrick's world war one classic made him want to be a film director
Ahead of last week's gala screening of Paths of Glory at Somerset House, Christiane Kubrick, widow of film director Stanley Kubrick, spoke to Tom Happold about her 41-year-old marriage, the director's lost project about the Holocaust and his secret love of the waltz
Paths of glory4 / 5 stars
Andrew Pulver: Kubrick's heartfelt plea for tolerance in postwar Europe
So perhaps you saw our tease in the newspaper Review section, and you rather fancy one of the two copies of the handsome Stanley Kubrick Diaries which our friends at publisher Taschen have donated. Or, maybe not - perhaps you've wandered here, unaware of Sean O'Hagan's interview in today's paper with the late director's wife. Either way, one of the copies of the Diaries (retailing at a very round £100 in your local book shop) is yours. Well, almost.

Building Bridges with Communities of Faith
December 27, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
Mobilizing communities of faith around equality in 2012 played an instrumental role in our decisive victories. In fact, despite outspoken religious leaders who sometimes speak out forcefully against LGBT people, a majority of people of faith support equality primarily because they feel compelled by their faith to do so.
HRC is at the forefront of work that is making tremendous inroads with faith communities across the country – elevating the voices of pro-equality people of faith, fostering meaningful conversations about equality in congregations, and drowning out the false rhetoric of those who claim that equality and faith are conflicting values.
HRC's Religion & Faith Program has invested heavily in faith-based organizing efforts this election cycle. In North Carolina, we mobilized voices within faith communities to serve as spokespeople for equality to the media across congregations. In Maryland and Washington State, HRC has provided significant faith-based support to the ballot campaign – from Faith Directors and organizers, to working with clergy and lay leaders on messaging around equality. We look forward to expanding these successful efforts in future marriage equality states.
As we head into 2013 and this work becomes increasingly important, learn more about what's going on in HRC's Religion & Faith Program.

Meet Kia, the Amazing Dog Who Survived Being Trapped in Car for a Month

They say cats have nine lives, but one pooch in Kansas City is proving dogs can more than hold their own.
This video is truly amazing. Christian the lion was reunited with his care takers after he was mad the head of his pride...No one expected a reunion like this.
This prank is adorable! The kids are speechless and they did an awesome job of making a talking dog! Oh, and I had the same Minnie Mouse sweater when I was a kid! ha!
Last week we introduced you to the phenomenon that is hedgehog GIFs. It's a simple yet totally effective concept when it comes to cheering up. But have you yet discovered the power of the penguin? These tiny nuggets of adorable are equally fantastic day brighteners, simply because penguins are funny and cute in any given circumstance.
Sometimes a dog just doesn't feel like it. Feel like what, exactly? Anything. So he just lies there, on the ground, and if you want him to move, well, good luck with that.
This is a weird kitty!
As part of spring break enrichment at the El Paso Zoo, zookeepers have stuffed dozens of treats into pinatas for the animals to open. Luckily for us, they took lots of photos, too! Watch these beautiful animals have a blast opening their spring break presents.
It's a proven fact that pets are good for your health. They help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety, they boost immunity, and can even help you get dates. Which is exactly why we're highlighting these adorable, furry friends from the El Paso Humane Society. The adoption costs for these 'staff favorites' are discounted to only $60, which includes all shots, spay/neuter surgery, rabies certificate, and a microchip. Take a look at their loving faces and ask yourself, "Can I save a life today?"
We don't know what's gotten into these guys. Maybe some of them just aren't cut out for life on the farm.
Somebody turn on the lights!

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
Published by Crave, Developed by FarSight
Genres: Simulation (4 players)
US release date: Feb 26th, 2008 | EU release date: -
Pinball Hall of Fame - The Williams Collection faithfully recreates eight of the most memorable tables from the golden age of pinball in stunning, photorealistic 3D.
Working closely with Williams to ensure authenticity of each of the games, the collection is highlighted by some of the most popular and innovative Williams pinball tables, including GorgarTM, the first-ever talking pinball machine, Black Knight, which introduced "Magna-SaveTM" and Bonus Ball, and Space ShuttleTM, which took the pinball industry by storm in 1984. Every table has been meticulously recreated to bring players the visuals, sound effects and gameplay that made these games legendary successes. Pinball Hall of Fame - The Williams Collection harkens back to the arcades of the 1980s.
Players begin Pinball Hall of Fame - The Williams Collection with access to four pinball tables, and the remaining four tables are unlocked as the game progresses. Players can spend as little as two minutes on a quick pinball challenge, or delve deeper into the game, gaining rewards in a token-based system as they unlock each of the pinball tables. Single-player Arcade and Challenge modes provide hours of solo entertainment, and a Multiplayer mode lets players face each other head-on.
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection has no review on Wii's World.

The tables look realistic and it's just like playing a real table without plugging the quarters in! Best $20 I ever spent on a game.
WiiCycled said:
Having been on a bowling league, I always looked forward to ending the bowling and starting the pinball, back when 25 cents got you 3 games of 5 balls each. The play simulation is realistic, the sound effects are authentic, I have recurring blisters from playing long and hard. Best $20 I have spent yet.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/117,550, filed Nov. 24, 2008, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Technical Field
This disclosure relates to the generation and storage of hydrogen fuel.
2. Related Art
Hydrogen is a renewable fuel that produces zero emissions when used in a fuel cell. In 2005, the Department of Energy (DoE) developed a new hydrogen cost goal and methodology, namely to achieve $2.00-3.00/gasoline U.S. gallon equivalent (gge, delivered, untaxed, by 2015), independent of the pathway used to produce and deliver hydrogen. The principal method to produce hydrogen is by stream reformation. Nearly 95% of the hydrogen currently being produced is made by steam reformation, where natural gas is reacted on metallic catalyst at high temperature and pressure. While this process has the lowest cost, four pounds of the greenhouse gasses carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced for every one pound of hydrogen. Without further costly purification to remove CO and CO2, the hydrogen fuel cell cannot operate efficiently.
Devices that are configured to electrochemically convert water into hydrogen and oxygen when energy is applied are generally known as water electrolyzers. Presently, about five percent of hydrogen production comes from water electrolysis. This reaction comprises the direct splitting of water molecules to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Importantly, greenhouse gasses are not produced in these reactions. In this process, electrodes comprising catalyst particles are submersed in water, and energy is applied to the electrodes. Using this energy, the electrodes split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is produced at the cathode electrode, which accepts electrons, and oxygen is produced at the anode electrode, which liberates electrons. The amount of hydrogen and oxygen produced by an electrode is dictated by the current supplied to the electrodes. The efficiency depends upon the voltage between the two electrodes, and is proportional to the reciprocal of that voltage. In other words, the efficiency of the system increases as the voltage decreases. A more catalytic system will have a lower voltage for any one current, and therefore be more efficient in producing hydrogen and oxygen. If the catalyst is highly efficient, there will be minimal energy input to achieve a maximum hydrogen output. While this process is currently too expensive to compete with steam reformation due low efficiency and the use of expensive catalysts in the electrodes, emerging technologies show promise in balancing the economies.
For an electrolyzer to operate with high efficiency, the amount of product produced during reaction should be maximized relative to the amount of energy input. In many conventional devices, significant efficiency loss stems from low catalyst utilization in the electrodes, cell resistance, inefficient movement of electrolyte, and inefficient collection of reaction products from the electrolyte. In many cases, low efficiency is compensated for by operating the cell at a low rate (current). While this strategy increases efficiency, it also lowers the amount of products that can be produced at a given time.
The high-purity hydrogen produced in any of the above methods can be compressed and stored in either compressed gas cylinders, liquefied to liquid hydrogen, or adsorbed in solid state storage systems, such as metal hydride storage systems. The fuel is then accessible later for power generation. Solid state storage of hydrogen is widely viewed as a practical strategy for compact hydrogen storage. The principle is directly used in rechargeable batteries such as nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, in which hydrogen is reversibly absorbed into the anode electrode during battery cycling. Metal hydrides are also used as a source of hydrogen for supply of the said hydrogen to hydrogen fuel cells. These metal hydrides are inherently safe, and have good specific energy (ś280 Wh/l) and energy density (ś80 Wh/kg).
Hydrogen has been shown to be a tremendous fuel source for, amongst other energy (power) generators, fuel cells. A fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy, via consumption of a fuel, such as hydrogen, an alcohol, or other hydrocarbons. The fuel cell comprises a negative terminal (anode), where the hydrogen fuel is consumed, and a positive terminal (cathode), where oxygen fuel is consumed. This energy generating device is highly advantageous in that fuel can be resupplied; the device will operate as long as anode and cathode are supplied with fuel. The anode fuel is oxidized on a catalyst surface to produce electrons and ions. Ions flow through an ion exchange membrane, and the electrons flow through an external circuit, generating electricity. Electrons and ions then recombine at the cathode catalyst surface with the cathode fuel. At the core of the fuel cell is the membrane-electrode assembly (MEA). The MEA comprises a membrane capable of exchanging ions such as H+ or OH−, a catalyst layer applied to each side of the membrane, and an electrically conductive backing on each catalyst layer. Reliable adhesion and interaction between these layers are some important factors for a fuel cell to operate at the highest power. To promote excellent catalyst utilization as well as electronic and ionic flow within the fuel cell, the composition and interfaces of the catalyst layer are some important factors to achieving low ohmic resistance and increased power output.
Electrodes for use in fuel cells and/or electrolyzers can comprise nano-metal particles, or a combination of nano- and micro-metal particles, that can be either be sintered as a monolithic structure, or applied as a layer (or embedded into) a supporting substrate structure, such as is described in Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/109,453, filed on Oct. 29, 2008, Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/046,790, filed on Apr. 21, 2008, U.S. application Ser. No. 11/868,152, filed on Oct. 5, 2007, U.S. application Ser. No. 12/114,719 filed on May 2, 2008, which has priority to Provisional Application No. 60/915,619, filed on May 2, 2007, U.S. application Ser. No. 12/053,484, filed on Mar. 21, 2008, which has priority to Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/896,722, filed on Mar. 23, 2007, U.S. application Ser. No. 11/781,909, filed on Jul. 27, 2007, which is a continuation-in-part of and has priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 11/394,456, filed on Mar. 31, 2005, U.S. Ser. No. 11/482,290, filed on Jul. 7, 2006, and U.S. Ser. No. 11/525,469, filed on Sep. 22, 2006, the entire contents of all of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The composition of the metal nanoparticles can be a pure metal, an oxide of a metal, or an alloy of two or more metals. Preferably, the metal composition is selected from groups IIA, IB, and IIIB-VIIIB of the periodic table, most preferably nickel, manganese, aluminum, cobalt, copper, tin, palladium, silver, gold, lanthanum, and alloys thereof. Other metals have been shown to prove useful as a catalyst in an electrochemical context. The nano-metal particles can be made from one of a number of manufacturing process, such as the ones described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,282,167 to Carpenter issued on Oct. 16, 2007, and U.S. Ser. No. 11/591,787, filed on Nov. 2, 2006, the entire contents of both of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference. In the '167 patent and '787 application, processes for making nano-metal particles more uniformly are described.
Portable power generation has increased significantly in demand as portable consumer electronics become personal assistants for most forms of entertainment and information. Powering these portable consumer electronics for long term use presents challenges, most of which are being addressed as part of battery technology. Batteries can comprise single use configurations or rechargeable configurations. While battery technology has proven to be quite successful, alternative sources of energy are also being considered. Indeed, technology has emerged that permits electrochemical systems to be scaled down to address desires of greater portability that eliminate the need for a traditional battery.
Others have suggested powering portable consumer electronics with a fuel cell supplied with a continual source of chemical energy to power the fuel cell. The fuel cell works in place of a battery by providing an efficient supply of electric power to the consumer electronic device. Like a battery, however, a supply of chemical energy is necessary. Therefore, a solution is desired to effectively provide a portable source of chemical energy to more easily and readily generate electric power for portable consumer electronics.
In various embodiments, an electrochemical system is disclosed that is configured to generate hydrogen by, for example, water electrolysis wherein the catalyst comprises a material that is catalytic for hydrogen generation and/or is configured to store hydrogen for discharge to a fuel cell.
Relying in part upon technology developed at Quantumsphere, Inc. in Santa Ana, Calif., (see above), solutions are disclosed that effectively provide a portable source of chemical energy to more easily and readily generate electric power for portable consumer electronics. In one embodiment contemplated, a fuel cell cartridge comprises means for storing hydrogen that is produced in an electrolyzer, where the cartridge also functions as the anode for the electrolyzer. The storage means comprises, in one embodiment, metal hydride positioned within the cartridge.
Advantageously, the cartridge comprises a housing that can be easily attached and detached from the electrolyzer so that the hydrogen generated can be stored within the cartridge. The housing is further configured to easily attach and detach from a fuel cell so that the stored hydrogen can be released to the fuel cell for power generation. The cartridge housing can vary in configuration as necessary to accommodate fuel cells having particular dimension and form factors, as well as electrolyzers having particular dimension and form factors. Depending upon the uniformity of such form factors, adapters can be included to permit interchange of a single cartridge between fuel cells and electrolyzers having non-uniform configurations.
Each cartridge comprises a metal hydride electrode. In preferred embodiments, the metal hydride electrode comprises a cathode, whereby the cathode serves to generate hydrogen when joined to the electrolyzer and whereby the cathode serves to store hydrogen. Given the differing chemical environments present in an electrolyzer and in a fuel cell, the cartridge comprises membranes and fluid control for controlling the influx and expulsion of water to and from the cartridge so that the water does not interfere with the controlled flow of hydrogen in and out of the metal hydride structure. The system can comprise electronic controls, voltage and/or power regulators in a parallel circuitry. In preferred embodiments, oxygen is generated at the anode, while the atomic hydrogen produced at the metal hydride cathode is preferentially adsorbed into the lattice structure of the metal hydride.
With this arrangement, a single device (the fuel cell cartridge) can function to generate hydrogen when connected to form part of the electrolyzer, to store hydrogen (whether attached to either the fuel cell or electrolyzer or neitherŚin stand alone form), and/or to supply hydrogen to the fuel cell, when connected thereto. It is further contemplated that efficiency can be derived from providing a carousel arrangement of compartments for storing individual cartridges where charged cartridges can reside or can be moved to a charging station adjacent the carousel. For example, an arrangement of twelve compartments can be arranged in a generally circular configuration so that they can be moved to a charging station by rotating the carousel. One or more cartridges can be charged at a time, depending upon the number of adjacent charging stations provided. In one embodiment, the charging station comprises the portion of the electrolyzer to which the cartridge can be connected fluidly and electrically to electrolyze water. Other arrangements are contemplated, as described below and as covered by the claims.
At least some of the embodiments contemplated herein comprise a compact system for the generation and solid storage of hydrogen. Hydrogen stored in the solid state within a cartridge can be useful in a number of electrochemical applications, for example as the hydrogen supply to a fuel cell anode electrode. This is accomplished without the need for additional compression, cooling or heating steps as would be needed in a conventional hydrogen storage system in gaseous cylinders.
In a first aspect, a composition is provided that serves as both the cathode electrode in an alkaline water electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage material. During electrolysis, atomic hydrogen produced during the cathodic reaction is immediately absorbed and stored as a hydride, as reflected in the example of reaction below, where M=metal:
Preferably, the composition is a metal hydride, more preferably a mischmetal (Mm), and most preferably a multi-component alloy with a Ni or Ni alloy/oxide enriched surface coating. The metal hydride can be encapsulated in a cartridge system for easy installation or removal from the water electrolyzer system, and installation onto the anode area of a fuel cell for supply of hydrogen fuel to the fuel cell. It is contemplated that the metal or metal alloy would comprise nano-particles, either sintered together or coating (or embedded in) a support substrate. The nano-metal particles preferably comprise pure metal or an alloy of two or more metals selected from groups IIA, IB, and IIIB-VIIIB of the periodic table, most preferably nickel, manganese, aluminum, cobalt, copper, tin, palladium, silver, gold, lanthanum, and alloys thereof. The nano-metal particles can be made from one of a number of manufacturing process, such as the ones described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,282,167 to Carpenter, issued on Oct. 16, 2007, and/or those made by Quantumsphere, Inc. of California.
The fuel cell cartridge comprises an electrode that is configured to function effectively as the cathode of a water electrolysis system for generating hydrogen, where the electrode can be made as is described in one or more of the patent applications and patents identified above. In a preferred embodiment, a system useful as a compact device to provide hydrogen fuel to a fuel cell is contemplated, where the cathode electrode comprises a metal hydride hydrogen storage cartridge that can be removed from the system, or remain within the cartridge, and docked to the anode of a fuel cell, and then docked back to the system and refueled when the cartridge is depleted of hydrogen. In one embodiment, the system comprises a water supply container, and alkaline electrolyzer with cathode-metal hydride docking system, and related electronics and controls such that the system can sense and control water levels, hydrogen content, temperature, and pressure.
The cartridge comprises a housing that sealably houses a metal hydride cathode that can be placed in fluid communication interchangeably with both an electrolyzer and a fuel cell. The housing comprises at least two one coupling configured to relatively quickly connect and disconnect the housing from a corresponding electrolyzer and fuel cell. The coupling is configured to permit the controlled flow therethrough of either water, hydrogen or both. Depending upon the desired design and size, the means for fluid connection and disconnection can comprise a plurality of connectors on the housing, each functioning similarly to permit the controlled flow therethrough of either water, hydrogen or both. In one embodiment, the connection means comprises two sets of quick disconnect couplings, an example of which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,253,842 to Huebscher et al., although other quick disconnect configurations would also be effective in sealably and fluidly connecting the cartridge to either an electrolyzer or a fuel cell. One set of quick disconnect couplings would be configured to connect to corresponding quick disconnect couplings on the electrolyzer housing, while another set quick disconnect couplings would be configured to connect to corresponding quick disconnect couplings on the fuel cell housing.
Although the embodiments described herein configure the cartridge to be interchangeable with an electrolyzer and fuel cell at separate times, it is also contemplated that a housing would comprise opposing sets of quick disconnect couplings (e.g., on different sides of the cartridge housing) that would enable simultaneous connection of the cartridge to both the electrolyzer and the fuel cell, if so desired.

Re: Ad Astra Challenge Entry: Those Who Remain
As usual,
, your writing astounds me. You really are good at this.
These characters are so convincing to me, so human yet with a definitely alien, distinctly Cardassian feel as well. Your interpretation of the Cardassians is always fascinating, and you really capture what strikes me deepest about this culture, how great a people they are underneath that terrible police-state cultural mentality. The nobility, the idea that one can be extremely proud to be Cardassian, is always there, yet tragically buried under what they've become...but in characters like Rebek it's finding a way to come out.
I'm surprised just how quickly the character of Rebek has, well, "found a place in my heart" shall we say? It really speaks of your talent that I find her every bit as fascinating and interesting as the best characters in the official novels.
We are all the sum of our tears. Too little and the ground is not fertile and nothing can grow there; too much, the best of us is washed away.

Staff was helpful, payment via credit card without problem, meal ok.
Transport from and back to airport was delayed.
Nice easy-going staff, with free hourly transfers to/from airport. Cute bunnies and other animals there.
WiFi did not reach our room, just around the dining and lounge area.
The pickup and dropoff, albeit 45 minutes late, not too pleasant at 23.45. The very short trip to and from Oliver Tambo airport. The simplicity, non-hotel feel.
Expensive for one person but probably cheaper than any other hotel.
Good location. Good atmosfere, helpfull stagg
No remote for gate, tv old
No soap in the bathrooms, no fridges in rooms or any other amenities. Just the bare basics, and an enormous safe??? Again the owners are making as much money as they can and don't offer any comfort. Water was only luke warm in the showers, and kept running cold
*Friendly, helpful and prompt assistance from staff at reception. * Tranquility and peaceful atmosphere. * Dining room: Breakfast -good variety of food to choose from and well prepared. Self service eased time needed for busy personal schedule for the day.
Directions to the location! We got hopelessly lost and as it was after dark landmarks were not easily visible. Thanks to the very helpful metro traffic officer who kindly escorted us to the Inn.
The location is great, close to airport.It is clean and comfortable
The shuttle comes at one hour interval and the waiting can be too long for a tired traveler. when i called the guy i spoke to was very rude indeed. He need coaching in how to speak to clients otherwise he will put away potential guests
The place is well located, making it idea for quick accomodation near the airport if one just want to spend a night near the airport for quick connection. Have used this place one and this was my second time. The rooms are comfortable and the places is secure.
But this time around, I regrated having spent time at this accomodation. The trip ended up being so expensive due to what I conisdered staff arrogance and late reception opening.making matters worse, they have emergence Numbers on reception door which no one answers. It was so annoying and made my stop over more expensive of which if I had anticipated, I would rather pay a 1000 rands plus at southern sun to not miss my connection than a budget hotel which I think didn't prove its advertisement. I had to pay for s shuttle to rash me quickly to the airport and as if I wasn't late the driver misses terminal A to stop at terminal B. All in all circumstances adding up made me flustrated and to run back to terminal A with trolley with 1hour left, it was late. It's a place I would never go back to. I regrated that stop over.
Free shuttle to the airport. Close to airport - great fro transit stay over.
Breakfast poor. Room average
Friendly staff and available items at Kiosk.
Received no breakfast pack due to staff not be available early hours (6am) of morning.
STAY AGAIN: Yes. Low cost. Nice country-like setting within its walled enclosure - more enjoyable than the standard high-rise hotel. Excellent breakfast.
Internet connection not good.
in the morning as i left i forgot my novel and my purse the shuttle driver was kind enough to drive me back to the hotel and back to the airport. really grateful
i only stayed for a night (couple of hours) not long enough to pick anything wrong
Location was good, easy access to the airport! Room was a nice size.
I was offered breakfast packs and never received them. The room had a shower above the bath but not working properly, only could shower to get clean once home.
Price ; proximity to Airport ; helpful staff ; pretty gardens
Hard bed
Good value for money, near to airport, fine for overnight stay.
Had early start to airport and had to find driver and wake him up to get us there!
Good service, quality food and good location, easy access to OR Tambo.
Couldn't get in. No one answered the intercom or the telephone. Had to spend triple the price at an Hotel around the corner.
I liked the location, service, staff, and food.
The wi-fi Internet did not cover the whole location, including my room.
All we needed for overnight stay Willingness to transport us regardless the late time of night
Bedroom size - a little too small
Very close to airport and the fact that they give free shuttle service to and from airport was very handy
Was only there for one night so nothing to bad to say
Food was bad, transport took too much time, room was in a poor state, personnel was weird
Nothing to like about this place.
The room was like a shed at the back of the garden that had been turned into an extra room. It was very old and not very clean. It was chaos at breakfast with no food left at 08:30am. No one really seemed to care when told there was nothing left. I decided to leave and eat at the airport instead. This was the end of a 2 week holiday where every other hotel in South Africa was excellent in the same price range. Don't risk this place.
Change of bed linen to more modern
It was a little cheaper than many of the other airport hotels, and I enjoyed having a free breakfast. They also provide a free shuttle to and from the airport, so that was nice as well.
The breakfast food, though kept in warmers, was not as hot as I would have liked. It was practically room temperature.
