Biodiesel is a type of alternative fuel made from oil-containing biomass and a variety of fats , oils , and greases (FOG). Biodiesel is a drop-in solution for the diesel engines to reduce the emissions and consequently the US biodiesel industry has been thriving in the recent years under the context of promoting clean fuels. With the production of biodiesel increasing sharply , a variety of feedstocks , especially non-food based oil sources such as algae and municipal sludge , have been introduced. However , one potential feedstock that has hardly been exploited is the trap grease , a mixture of water , solids , and FOG that accumulates in the grease interceptors and sewer pipelines. Trap grease has been a nuisance to the municipal system for years due to its FOG content which is the major cause of CSO and SSO in the US. Current management of trap grease is costly and ineffective. Considering its FOG content , significant yearly generation and low cost , utilizing trap grease as biodiesel feedstock can be a win-win solution for both environmental protection and biodiesel industry , particularly for the latter. Producing biodiesel from trap grease can significantly reduce the cost for the biodiesel producers and more importantly , improve the sustainability of biodiesel production by switching from oil crops (e.g. soybean oil) to waste materials and hence minimizing water and land footprints. However , due to its highly heterogeneous nature , one issue related to the utilization of trap grease is that it takes significant amounts of efforts to extract FOG out of it before the transesterification reaction can be performed , which may not justify the application of trap grease as the feedstock in the industry. Therefore , direct transesterification , or in-situ conversion , is investigated in this study as an alternative to address this problem. In-situ conversion refers to the process where the reagent and catalyst directly contact the FOG content in the feedstock substrate without the extraction step being performed first. The elimination of the extraction step can benefit the biodiesel production by lowering cost and energy consumption , as well as the reduction in facility footstep. In this study , the in-situ conversion of FOG in the trap grease into biodiesel will be investigated and parameters such as methanol to trap grease ratio (v/m) , catalyst concentration (wt%) , temperature and time will be varied to assess their influences on the in-situ process and to obtain an optimum condition for the process. The yield of biodiesel from the in-situ approach will be compared with that of the conventional extraction-transesterification method to evaluate feasibility of its application in the industry.

Esquire Ranks the Best Grilled Cheeses
Check out Esquire's compilation of grilled cheeses, "a collection of sandwiches from all over, all of them delicious, all worth your time," according to the brand's editors.
Looking for grilled cheese recipes? Check out these swoon-worthy grilled cheese sandwiches.
Caffè's Toast ($7.65)
Caffè, Boulder, CO
"It starts with house-baked bread, thin yet sturdy enough to ensure the perfect balance between crunch and creaminess once pressed. The first bite contrasts a squirt of sweetly tangy sliced-tomato juice (leave it to these guys to find ripe fruit year-round) with a funky whiff of truffle from the sottocenere, which is layered over two other Italian cow's-milk cheeses, montasio and provolone, to form the mellow melted core. By the second bite, La Quercia's famed prosciutto has opened up like a rosebud in your mouth." — Ruth Tobias
Final Score: 36 out of 40

I have enormous potential of that I am sure. As I teenage I got accepted as a youth writer at a local newspaper, but when time came to submit my first 'official' piece of work, my procrastination killed it.
My piece never got submitted and I kept putting every other piece after that off, until i just put it away.
Now, I am starting a new book in my life. One that has pages filled with aspirations and desires of things I am passionate about.
I know that only I can take my steps on my life's journey, but any advice and words of encouragement will be gratefully appreciated.

Tonight's goals:
- Reforge and Enchant stuff for raiding
- Finish Dailies

The BBC reports: "Any Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip will be given state protection from prosecution overseas, the country's PM has said." At issue is Israel's use of white phosphorous, a chemical agent that is not permitted in densely populated areas because it sticks to and severely burns human tissue.
In Israel, Prime Minister Olmert told a weekly cabinet meeting that soldiers who had put their lives on the line for their country need not fear prosecution for war crimes overseas.
"The commanders and soldiers that were sent on the task in Gaza should know that they are safe from any tribunal and that the State of Israel will assist them in this issue and protect them as they protected us with their bodies during the military operation in Gaza," he said.
Israel's military tactics have come under intense scrutiny as evidence has emerged of the high numbers of Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza.

Classy Republican Chicks
Let's talk about Linda McMahon, Republican Senate candidate in Connecticut who spent $100 million dollars to lose twice.
Remember how Mitt Romney cancelled staffers' credit cards so they couldn't even get home on election night? McMahon took that a few merry skips better.
After the last checks to her staffers bounced, one of them complained to the media. The campaign said, "Yeah, yeah, all a big mistake, checks are in the mail and you know …"
Twaine Don Gomes was one of the people who first complained to News 8. He was handed a check, but he says, the campaign told him they were mad that he came to News 8, so he got a little something extra in his envelope.
"Basically he handed me a check with a condom in it, told me I was screwed," Gomes said. "That's the rudest gesture you can ever do to a person, it's like spitting in a person's face."
His check bounced as well.
They told him to go screw himself and then they did it for him.
But, it's kinda understandable….
In fairness and in defense of Linda McMahon: It's possible that she needed the money because she's only worth a mere $500 million and owns a $40 million mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, a $20 million vacation home and a $12 million penthouse in Manhattan. So, understandably, McMahon had to screw her part time staff over while humiliating them, in order to survive.
And these people are stunned, just stunned, that we did not give them the keys to the US Treasury.
Thanks to MB and Brian for the heads up.

Ann Dismorr examines the implications of Turkey's affiliation with Europe and its role in the Middle East against the broader concerns of the widening gap between the West and the Muslim world, terrorism, and the struggle for human rights and democratization.
Particular attention is paid to the reforms initiated by the "moderate Islamist" Justice and Development Party, and to the career and policies of current Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.
Ann Dismorr was the Swedish Ambassador in Turkey from 2001–2005. She has lived in Saudi Arabia, worked on the Middle East peace process, and served as an ambassador in Lebanon.

Ultima solution for hospital kitchens
Polysafe Ultima, an extra tough sheet vinyl safety flooring from commercial flooring specialist and Contract Flooring Association resilient manufacturer of the year Polyflor Ltd, has been installed in the kitchens at Wrightington Hospital in Wigan. Specially developed for such intensely trafficked heavy-duty areas where enhanced slip resistance is paramount and a number of meals are served per day, Polysafe Ultima meets HSE guidelines by achieving a sustainable 40 slip resistance (RRL Pendulum wet test – Four-S/Slider 96 rubber). Ultima also achieves a surface roughness reading of Rz 70µm, recommended to cope safely with all levels of spillage of olive oil, cooking stock and similar high viscosity contaminants in kitchens and food processing areas. "We selected the flooring based on HSE recommendations and are extremely pleased with its performance," says Brian Porter from the hospital's facilities department. The product – installed by St Helens-based CMC Flooring – has been independently tested and results demonstrate that it inhibits the growth of MRSA. An effective cleaning regime is, however, the most important defence against infection. Fully conforming to EN13845, the European Norm for safety flooring, and flexible for ease of installation, coving and welding, Polysafe Ultima offers a choice of six practical and robust colours. Full details from Polyflor Ltd, Radcliffe New Road, Whitefield, Manchester M45 7NR. Tel: 0161-767 1111. Fax: 0161-767 1128. Website: www.polyflor.com Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Simply Speaking: Midterm Election
This Midterm Election, possibly the most critical in our lifetime, perhaps in our history, is not at its core about how badly Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Democrat majority in Congress are directing America (as bad as all of them are).
No, even though they are Liberal, Socialistic, Communistic, Marxist, Stupid and just plain Dumb in their direction, evidently on purpose, this election is about something broader, deeper and vitally more important.
Republican Party elected officials and leadership, contrary to its grassroots and the Tea Party movement, have seemed to be mostly in disarray, as far as effectively combating the Obama administration's myriad inadequacies, even treasonous* actions (*the offence of acting to overthrow one's government).
The translation of Obama's claptrap "change" verbiage certainly appears to fulfill the definition.
As if combating Liberal Democrats, a scattering of Greenies, and too many Blue-State Republicans were not enough, the "sky is falling" Federal Reserve and Treasury chairmen seem intent on borrowing and spending us into oblivion.
One has but to wonder whose side the "money-people" are on. I think we know…and it is not with "We the People."
Another clear and present danger is the ongoing Liberal Democrat effort to forever sew up elections numerically and electorally by legalizing illegals, bribing certain elements with continuing government handouts, supporting mandatory union membership, registering graveyard inhabitants in battleground states, funding ACORN and its ilk, and bribing other elements with FREDDY and FANNIE loans they cannot possibly afford, to name but a few of the cheating, underhanded efforts of those who would destroy our republic.
Perhaps the overriding, paramount question America faces is in the finding out of who "We the People" really are, more specifically, Whose we are. Are we Post-Christian as Obama claims? Maybe he is going by who he thinks (or knows) he is???
If we are no longer a Christian nation, then it would follow that we are no longer too concerned about things like our personal, our state, even our national sovereignty.
Sadly, the Education community no longer seems concerned about teaching our children and grandchildren about how we and our ancestors were once fully aware and focused on that point…or that it's important or even what it is.
If God is sovereign, and He is, then His people, made in His image are likewise sovereign, if we will grab hold of it and hang on for dear life.
If we are no longer a Christian nation, then the point becomes moot and of no consequence for America.
Sadly also is the fact that we cannot count on the Media, Hollyweird, nor governmental agencies to make any attempts to aid us in becoming aware of the who we are...or once were.
Like Obama, these entities had rather remind us of how nationally evil we are and that God is dead, His people (we) are their enemy, and to keep Him (God) out of our classrooms and off our public square.
Just who do these public and other servants of ours think they are???!!!
So, rediscovering and then knowing who we were and are…and Whose we are… is up to us…and we must then teach our children and grandchildren, for they have not had the luxury of their teachers having a Bible on their desks and educating on its principles, as we senior citizens once had.
I'll get off the soap box with just a simple reminder: Let us remember who we once were, Whose we are, and work to return to our great heritage.
Putting feet to that reminder would be to cast your informed vote early, or on Nov. 2 for sure, and to encourage your trusted friends, neighbors, and relatives to do likewise.
Upon that success, let us hold all of the above troublesome entities' feet to the fire from Nov. 2 until election season 2012. That's what sovereign people do, you know.
May the sovereign Yahweh God bless through Yeshua, Christ Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

Survival Picture No Better for Patients With HIV-Related Lymphoma: Study
FRIDAY, July 26 (HealthDay News) -- Survival rates for patients with HIV-associated lymphoma have not improved since antiretroviral therapy (ART) became available, according to a new study.
HIV, the AIDS-causing virus, raises the risk of lymphoma, a blood cancer, which is the most common cancer-related cause of death among people with HIV.
"These results highlight an ongoing need to ... optimize treatments for this challenging population to reduce deaths from one of the leading causes of mortality in the [antiretroviral therapy] era," said Dr. Satish Gopal, of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina.
For the study, published July 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers examined data from nearly 500 patients diagnosed with HIV-associated lymphoma between 1996 and 2010.
Patients diagnosed more recently were older and more likely to be male, gay, Hispanic, and to have had prior HIV-related illnesses. They also were more likely to be on antiretroviral therapy when diagnosed with lymphoma, with higher CD4 counts and better HIV control.
But these recently diagnosed patients did not have a lower risk of death five years after diagnosis than those diagnosed earlier in the study period.
Moreover, lymphomas diagnosed in patients on antiretroviral therapy were associated with twice the risk of death, the researchers found. This may suggest important biologic differences between lymphomas in patients on and off antiretroviral therapy, and further investigation is required, Gopal and colleagues said in a journal news release.
The types of lymphoma patients had included Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, other non-Hodgkin lymphoma and primary central nervous system lymphoma. The proportion diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma grew during the study period compared to other forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the researchers found.

"Eco Vanguard" Charter Party dated Auckland 14th July 2010 FINAL ARBITRATION AWARD WHEREAS: 1. By the terms of a voyage fixture dated 14th July 2010 on a BEIZAI (AMERICAN LOGSILUMBER) 1991 Charter Party form (Amended March 11995), with amendments and additions (hereinafter refened to as "the Charter ParIy"), the Claimants (hereinafter refened to as "the Owners") chartered the Malaysian flag motor vessel "Eco Vanguard" (hereinafter refemd to as "the vessel") to the Respondents (hereinafter referred to as "the Charterers") for a voyage from Eureka, USA to Changshu PRC to carry "Afitll and complete cargo oflogs (debarked)" with lay.d.ys and cancelling ;251h Julynth August 2010. The .greedrate ofneight was "U8$1,330,000 lumpsum FIOSI' basis 1:1 for China Discharge". Exhibit 1 2 of 17 2. In the event,the vessel loaded the cargo in Eureka between 28'" July and 17'" September 2010 and discharged in Changshu between 8th October and 23rd October 2010. 3. Disputes arose between the parties regarding the Owners' claim for demurrage aoorued at Eureka ofUS$471,787.98 and demurrage accrued at Changshu, alternatively damages, in the amount ofUS$289,400.11. 4. The BEIZAI Charter Party provided for arbitration in London with the following c1auses:" 17. Place o.fArbitratio.n (optional) (Cl. 31) LONDON" "31. Arbltratlo.n (See also. Clause 55)" "CLAUSE SS ARBITRATION Any dispute arisingfrom this Charter shall be submitted to. arbitratlo.n held in Lo.ndo.n in acco.rdance wJth IhepJ:o.visions ofth~.MarltlmeArhitratJ()}J l!ules_ofJbe_UI11~dXilJg
12. Also on 30th April 2011, by .-mail, I acknowledged the Claim Submissions and, by a copy of
the same message, notified the Charterers, inter alia, as follows:-
"In accordance with the LMiJA terms, which govern this reftrenee, you should serve your
Deftnee and Counterclaim, if any, within 28 days oflhe service of the Claim Submissions. I
therefore set the date for such service as close ofbusiness in London on Monday 3tf> May
2011. Should you require any additional time for such service, you should ask me for an
extension BEFORE 30th May 2011. Jfyou need any assistance with the LMAA procedure
governing this arbitration, please do not hesitate to ask me. ". I also assured the Respondents
that, although I was the sole arbitrator, that did not prevent them for taking part in the refercnce
and I urged them to do so. I also confinned that LMAA arbitrators always act impartially,
in-cspcctive of who appoints them, and that any eventual Award will be based entirely on the
merits of the submissions served before me.
13. On 24th May 2011, I received an e-mail from solioitors in Portland, Oregon, [hereinafter
referred to as "the Charterers' solicitors"], copied to the Owners' solicitors, explaining that tbey
were now representing the Charterers in this reference and that although they had received
some of the materials in advance, they had only been able to meet their clients on 20th May.
They asked for an extension of time to serve the Chartei-ers' Defence until 30th June 2011.
14. In response to this message, the Owners' solicitors sent'an e-mail on the same day, copied to
the Cbarterers' solicitors, objecting to the length of the extension requested and complaining
that the Charterers had known about the claim for several months but only just appointed their
solicitors. Nevertheless, they were willing to grant an extension of ".lay 10 days".
15. I replied to these messages on the same day expressing my concern at the need for an extension
in view of the length oftime since the elaim bad arisen. Howevel', I made an ORDER for
service of the Charterers' Defence and Counterclaim, ifany, to be served by close of business
in London on Friday 17 th June. I further warned the Charterers' solicitors that any failure to
comply with tbe date of this extension was likely to be followed by a Final and Peremptory
Order of shOlt dm.tion.
16. On 31" May, the Owners' solicitors sent an e-mail totheCharterers.solicitol.S in which they
pointed out that the C~arterers had only referred to a portion of the demulTage at the
Exhibit 1
5 of 17
.-----..- - - -
discharging port and suggested that it was apparent that the Charterers did not dispute the
demurrage incurred at the loading port. They further asked if there was any reason why the
Tribunal should not make an interim final award in relation to the demurrage at the loading port
stating that "In the absence 0/an compelling explanationfrom P & S [the Charterers] as to why
this should not be the case, I ask that the Tribunal move to an interim final award In our clients
(sic) favour wilh respect to the loadport demUlmge which Is due and owing. ".
17. In response, also on 31" May, I asked the Charterers' solicitor for their comments on the above
application for an interim final award and they replied on 3nl June 2011 that they had been
unable to obtain all the information they required from their clients and could not therefore
confirm that the loading port demurrage was undisputed. They also added that "We do not
disagree that, to the extent appropriate under the Rules, an Interim Final Awal'd may be
entered on Claimant's evidence separately submitted or on Respondent's admission when It is
In a pos/tlon to do that. ".
18. I replied on 411> June, with a copy to the Owners' solicitors, by pointing out that the reference
was commenced in November 2010 and that I would have hoped that the Charterers had found
tbe time to check the Owners' demurrage calculations. However, r accepted that as service of .
the Charterers' Defence was due by 17 th June 2011, then I was prepared to await that service
before making • decision about the Owners' application for an Interim Final Award.
19. On 17'" June 2011, by e,mall, the Charterers' solicitors stated that "While P and S [the
Chat1ererslftrmly believes that a port/on o/the demurrage is not in/act owing (in part/cula/; a
portion o/the demurrage at the discharge port), It has determinedfor business reasons not to
present a De/ence. Accordingly, one will not be presented ".
20. The Owners' solicitors responded by ...mail on the same day pointing out that the delays at the
discharging port were incurred by reason of their clients having to exercise their rights of lien
under the Charter Party in order to obtain payment of freight owing to them. They asked that
the Tribuna! should proceed to its award for the full amounts claimed, plus interest and costs.
21. I am satisfied that the Charterers were given every opportunity to submit a Defence to the
Owners' claim but, for the reasons given above, chose not to do so,
Exhibit 1
6 of 17
22. I replied to the parties bye-mail on the same day, stating that "In the absence ofany Defence, I
shall now proceed to my Award in this reference on the basis ofthe submissions and documents
now before me, 10 Ihe exclusion ofall others... ".
lREASONS FOR THE FINAL ARBITRATION AWARDl
23. The Owners' claim arose out ofa Charter Party for a voyage from Eureka, USA to Chang"hu in
the Peoples' Republic of China in July to October 2010. The vessel loaded a cargo of logs
(debarked) but the Owners alleged that the Charterers exceeded the Iaythne allowed to them,
both at the loading port and the discharging pOli. Tho Owners' claim was for demurrage at both
ports in tile following amounts:At Eureka, demurrage amounted to US$471,787.98 and, at Changshu, the Owners claimed for
demurrage, alternatively damages in the sum ofUS$289,400.11.1n addition, the Owners
claimed interest On all the sums awarded, together with further or alternate relief and costs.
24. The Charter Party contained, inter alia, the following clauses:Box 11
"Freight rate and melhod ofpayment, currency, elc., (CI. 3)
US$1,330, 000 lumpsum FIOST basis 1: 1for China Discharge"

25. The vessel arrived at lbe Eureka Pilot Station at 12.00 hours on 28th July 201 0 and tendered
Notice of Readiness at lbe same time, bye-mail, Apparently because of a shortage of cargo, lbe
vessel did not commence loading until 09.18 hours on 6th August and, after various delays,
completed loading at 19.00 hours on 17'h September 2010.
Exhibit 1
9 of 17
26. The vessel then proceeded to Changshu where she dropped anchor at the C.J.K. Anchorage at
07.45 hours on 8'h October 2010 and tendered Notice of Readiness at the same time.
Discharging was completed at 14.30 hours on 23rd October 2010 and the vessel sailed from
Changshu at 08.37 hours on 24'h October 2010.
27. Although the vessel had arrived at the Eureka Pilot Station at 12.00 hours on 28'h July, she did
not shift to the loading berth, Fairhaven Tennlnal, unti113.26 hours on 5'h August. The
Stalement of Facts, drawn up by General Steamship Corporation of Emeryville [who were
apparently the Owners' port agents in accordance with Clause 27 above), showed thatthe
loading was interrupted for a number ofreasons until completion on 17lh September and,
according to the Owners, the allowed laytime of "16 days all purposes" allowed in Box 12.1
was considerably exceeded.
28. The Owners claimed that the Charterers had exceeded the allowed laytime of 16 days all
purposes by 32.1681 days at the loading port, resulting in demurrage at the agreed Charter Party
rate ofUS$18,OOO per day and pro rata, of US$579,025.80. After allowing for the deduction of
1.25% address conunission (as per Box 18 of the Charter Party, as above) and funds of
US$IOO,OOO received on 23rd September 20'10, the amOlmt claimed as outstanding by the
Owners was US$471,787.98.
29. I have calcuIated the laytime and demurrage from the Statement of Facts, drawn up by the port
agents, independently of the Owners' calcuIations and, upon checking the Owners' Laytime
Statement, FIND them to be correct. I have therefore awarded the Owners the amount of their
claim for loading port demurrage ofUS$471,787.98.
30. It appears that problems arose in connection with the payment of freight and the Bills of
Lading. Even though the freight was due "within 3 banking days (free o/bank charge) after
completion a/loading. " (ClalWe 67), the freight was not paid on or before this date of23,d
September 2010. In fact, by 6'" October 2010, only two days before the vessel's arrival at the
discharging port, the Owners claimed that they had still not received either the freight or the
loading port demUl1'8ge. 9
Exhibit 1
10 of 17
- - ... ----_ .. - -
31. Pursuant to their rights under Clause 67, as above, the Owners had retained the original Bills of
Lading numbered BV 10081 000 I, BV! 008! 0002 and BV! 00810003 pending payment and
receipt of the freight.
32. In addition, the Owners became aware that, whilst they held the original Bills of Lading, a
further unauthorised andlor fraudulent set of Bills of Lading was being circulated. It was
noticeable that whilst the Original Bills of Lading were marked "FREIGHT PAID AS PBR
CIP", the unauthorised set were marked "FREIGHT PREPAID".
33. By fax and e-mail on 6th October 2010, the Owners notified the Chatterers that the vessel would
shortly be arriving at the dib'Charglng port, Cbangshu, and that they were concerned that neither
the freight nor the loading polt demurrage had been paid. They warned the Charterers that
"Should Owners not have received payment ofthe freight and demurrage before the vessel
reaches Changshu, Owners hereby give notice that they Intend to exercise their rights ofUet!
over the cargo. ". They also notified the Charterers that they were aware that celtain Bills of
Lading that purpolted to be the original Bills of Lading were circulating and confirmed that
"Owners have l!!!!. authorised the release or issue ofany Bills ofLading pursuant to the terms
ofthe Voyage Charier, or In respect ofthe cargo currenlly onboa/'d ". Th. Owners stated in the
message that "It is ill the interests ofall concerned that prompt payment ofthe freighl and
demurrage be made. We Iherefore lookforwal'd to receiving your confirmation in Ihis respect
as a matter ofurgency.
34. The Charterers responded on the same day, bye-mail, in wldeh they confirmed that "The b/I in
question ofcourse was only for the pUlpose ofbanking and as Ihe agenlsibrokers/end
users/buyers were aware of, owners bit's would replace any and all before discharge began.
This sort ofsyslem had been done many times for many million "sd and Is accepte.d by
negotiating banks.... To summarize, I askfol' owners to please abide with the above, send Ihe
"Formal Nole" as requested by Ihe buyer and waillhrough tomorrow. ". It would appear that
the "Formal Note" requested from the Owners would state that "once oceanfrelghl is paid on
the Eco Vanguard, discharge may begin. ". The Charterers furth.rwent on to state that "Of
course, everything at this minute depends on buyer paying so payment is forwarded 10 owners
for the oceanfrelght Ifthai Is nol done, then Ihere is not much use in talking about demurrage
payment or foture business ofwhich the shipmenl was set up to accomplish and even under
Ihese crazy problems, is still available for the fottlre. ".
Exhibit 1
11 of 17
35. On 8th October 2010, the Owners sent a further e-mail to the Charterers in which they stated
that "Owners conjlrm thaI they intend acting in accordance with their rights and obligations
under the Voyage Charter and in respect ofthe cargo. In particular, Owners conjlml:
That they have issued Bills ofLading as requested; and that
They will release these Bills ofLading, and will deliver the cargo, as soon as they
receive payment ofthe outstanding sums due to them. ".
In conclusion, they reserved all of Owners' rights under the Charter party and in respect of the
36. As noted above, when the vessel arrived at Changshu at 07.45 hours on 8th October 2010,
neither the freight nor the loading port demurrage had been pald. In consequence, the Owners
gave notice and exercised a lien over the cargo on board "pursuant to their rights under Clause
23 ofthe Charterpal'/y. ". The Owners submitted a copy of that Notice of Lien, sent to the
Charterers on 10th October 2010, and further stated that "Owners require that payment ofthe
above mentioned amountsfor freight and demurrage [freight in the sum ofUS$I,313,375.00
and demurrage'in the sum ofUS$479,02S.80) be made Immediately to their bank account.
Should Owners not receive payment ofthe abovementioned amountsfor ji'elght and demurrage,
as well as demurrage that has subsequently accrued, Ihey will be entitled to apply to the
Chinese Courts for the sale ofthe cargo. Irrespective of/heir rlghls offlen 10 obtain payment,
Owners are nol obliged to release the cargo fa any receivers in Ihe absence ofIhe original
authorised Bills ofLading. ".
37. It was obvious to the Tribunal that any delay that occurred during discharge at Changshu was
entirely due to the Charterers' failure to pay the freight In accordance with the terms of the
Charter party and thus the Charterers were liable for any such delay.
THE DISCffARGING PORT
38. The vessel arrived at CJI( anchorage Changshu at 07.45 hours on 8th October 2011 and
tendered Notice ofReadlness at the same time. Although the Statemenl of Facis submitted by
the Owners was not entirely clear, it appears that the vessel shifted anchorages agaln On 18"
October. She then shifted from the anchorage to the berth on 20tb October, commenced
discharge at 18.36 hours on the same day and completed discharga at 14.30 hours on Saturday
Exhibit 1
12 of 17
23"' October. As the vessel was already on demurrage on arrival at the discharging port, in
accordance with Clause 36, as above, the lime counts from arrival.
39. As with the loading port, I have calculated the demurrage from the Statement of Facts, dmwn
up by the port agents, independently of the Owners' calculations. However, upon checking the
Ownere' Laytime Statement, I disagreed with their calculations on two points.
a) Whilst the sWfting between anchorages continues to count as demurrage, the time spent
shifting from the anchorage to the berth does not count. Clause 52 below covers this point.
Shiftlngfrom quarantine/place ofwaiting or pilot anchorage area to loading or discharging
berth to be for Owners' account and lime not to count. However, costs and lime used for
unusual shifting, hauling alongside dock and or re-shiftlng requested by Charterers after the
Vessel has berthed to befor Charterers (sic) account. ".
There was no indication in that clause that "lime not to count" only applied to laytime and it
must therefore also s\lspend time on demurrage. However, I consider that the shifting time
between anchorages was "unusual" shifting and should cOlmt as time on demun·age.
b) The Owners' laytime stalement gives lhe time for completion of discharge as 14.30 hours on
Sunday 24th October whereas the Laytime Statement of Facts prepared by the port agents shows
that disc\1arging was actually completed at 14. 30 houre on Saturday 23'; October 2010. In fact,
the vessel sailed from Changshu at 08.37 hours on 24'b October 2010.
40. Consequently, I have reduced the Owners' claim for demurrage at the discharging port by these
two items and FIND that the Owners are entitled to gross demurrage at Changshu of
US$274,100AO which, less the 1.25% address commission allowed for in the Cbarter Party,
amounts to US$270,674.14. I have so awarded.
41. Appendix' A', which is attached to and forms part of this Award, shows my demurrage
calculations for the discharging port.
Exhibit 1
13 of 17

..._ - - - - _ ..
42. My findings result in demurrage being due to the Owners in the amount ofUS$742,462.12 and
43. In addition to their claim above, the Owners claimed:-
"(c) Interest on all sums awarded;
(d). Further or alternallve relief; and
(0) Costs."
They also asked "that the Tribunal exercise its dlscrellon to award interest at a rate of USD
Prime rate, plus 1% per annum, compounded with quarterly rests. "
44. The Arbitration Act 1996 Section 49 gives the Tribunal the power to award simple or
compound interest from such dates, at such rates and with such rests as it considers meets the
justice ofthe case. Tho Tribunal found tlmt the rate of interest appropriate in this dispute was
3.00% per annwn and pro rat., compounded on a quarterly basis, from 22'" November 2010
(being 30 days after completion of discharge) until the date ofpaymeut.
45. There being no reason to depart from the general rule that costs should follow the event, I have
also awarded the Owners their costs on the standard basis.
NOW I, the undersigned Colin Peerless, having taken upon myselfthe burden ofthls reference
as sole arbitrator and having considered the written evidence and submissions made to me DO
HEREBY MAKE, ISSUE AND PUBLISH this my FINAL ARBITRATION AWARD as
follows:Al I FIND AND HOLD that the Owners' claim succeeds in the sum ofUS$742,462.12 and no
B) I AWARD AND DIRECT that the Charterers shall forthwith pay to the Owners the sum of
US$742,462.12 (Seven Hlwdred and Forty Two Thousand Four Hundl~d and Sixty Two United
States Dollars and Twelve Cents), together with interest thereon at the rate of3.00% per annum
and pro rata, compounded on a three monthly basis from 22'd November 2010 (being 30 days
after completion of discharge) until eventual payment by the Charterers.

C) I FURTHER AWARD AND DIRECT that the Charterers shan bear and pay their own and the
Owners' costs of the reference (the Owners' costs of the reference to be determined by me if
not ageeed, for which determination I hereby reserve my jurisdiction) and that the Charterers
shall bear and pay the costs ofthis my Final Award in the sum of£3,650.00 (Three Thousand

Who's The Best: Design, Usability or SEO?Human history has gone something like this: people formed groups, each of those groups assumed they were the best group, some of those groups eventually encountered other groups, and those newly introduced groups proceeded to poke each other with pointy sticks.
Unfortunately, the history of website development isn't much different. Whenever a new camp appears (or has the audacity to leave an old camp), the other camps immediately and forever-after have to declare that that new camp is an ungrateful, talentless bunch of good-for-nothings.
Such has been the ongoing war between designers, usability experts, and SEOs/SEMs, which boils down to the ultimate question: who's the best? If you've read my blog before, you might assume that I'm about to answer "usability", but you'd be wrong.
Let's play a game (and also reveal the reason for today's image selection): what if, just like George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life, we were given the chance to see what the world (or at least the internet) would be like without design, usability, or SEO?
A World Without DesignImagine that the worldwide web never evolved beyond 1993. We'd all be using Mosaic, and websites would look a bit like this (sorry, Tim). To be fair, it's easy to forget that those first all-text HTML pages were revolutionary, but this early web was essentially a big science experiment.
It wasn't until Netscape came on the scene and the capabilities of HTML began to expand that the worldwide web really captured our imaginations, and much of that new attraction came from images and pushing the envelope of design. Ok, some of it was probably the porn, but the general public didn't really take notice until the web became fully visual. Rich design made the internet compelling and attracted our attention; without it, the worldwide web may never have been much more than an academic curiosity.
A World Without UsabilityNow, let's skip ahead to 1997 or so. The internet has become a world of animated GIFs and dancing hamsters where every important point needs to be made with flashing red text. HTML has opened up the world of design to everyone, forcing the painful conclusion that not everyone was cut out to be a designer.
What if we never got past this idle curiosity, and never forged the first e-commerce sites, including giants like Amazon.com? It's likely that the worldwide web would have faded into obscurity, never realizing it's full potential. Fortunately, people realized the potential of the internet as a tool, and flocked to sites that allowed them to accomplish real tasks, ushering in the e-commerce revolution.
A World Without SEOTo borrow an analogy from Skelliewag, imagine that you build the world's most amazing amusement park, visually breathtaking, with the most cutting-edge rides ever seen. Unfortunately, you build it deep in the jungle with no roads or even signs to point the way. No matter how amazing, that park is going to fail.
We've reached the late 90s and the search engine wars are in full force. What started them? The simple reality that the explosive growth of web content required better and easier ways to find that content. Without those early search engines, Google a few years later, and the tools to be discovered by those engines, the vast majority of all websites would languish in obscurity, and the entire internet would be the poorer for it.
So, Who's The Best?Sorry, but it's a stupid question. For the internet to realize it's full potential, we need sites that people can find, that are compelling enough to capture their attention, and that are usable enough to keep that attention. Like it or not, that means we need designers, usability specialists, and SEOs. Like any field, website development is going to specialize and diverge over time, creating new and unfamiliar species of contributors. When we meet those new people, let's try to resist the urge to poke them with sticks.
David LaFerney· Tuesday, February 5
I predict that when web 2.0 is as stylish as harvest gold appliances black text on a white field will still be a classic. Or at least retro.
Yep, that's what I go for in design - classic. Mostly because I still have to ask my wife if this shirt goes with that tie.
Dr. Pete· Tuesday, February 5
@David: Speaking of appliances, can someone tell the engineers/designers to stop making black-on-black button labels? We have a 5-DVD changer where the disc numbers are all embossed in black on black (and are usually rotated at strange angles). To make it even more convenient, the player usually auto-detects the wrong disc, so you have to know exactly which slot number it went into.
Mike Maddaloni - The Hot Iron· Tuesday, February 5
Can't we all just get along? :)
online business magazine· Monday, February 11
i completely agree.. each aspect of a good website is just as important as the other even though one may overshadow.
robdogg· Wednesday, February 13
i hate blogs or website with a lot of clutter or a bad layout. Nice and clean is the way to go. Google vs Yahoo homepage is my best comparison
