Naval Vessel Damaged in Palau
The Navy on March 22 dispatched a Lafayette-class frigate and two tugboats to escort s warship back to Kaohsiung, after it was damaged in Palau when carrying out a naval friendship tour. According to Taipei Times, no one was hurt in the accident. Another Cheng Kung-class frigate was also ordered to go to sea to replace the damaged warship and continue the mission. The damaged ship was currently around 93km from Palau, escorted by Palauan vessels. The damaged warship, accompanied by a supply ship, left for Palau on March 16. The warship had planned to stay in Palau for two days, and then sail to other diplomatic allies in Oceania. The warship may have hit a coral reef, as these are abundant in Palau. The navy has not decided whether to ask Palau to compensate the navy for the damage caused by the incident, as it occurred in a Palauan harbor while the ship was under the control of Palauan pilots.

Sunday's performance was a real treat for me, particularly the Bach. As I was playing, I kept thinking of the amount of time and rehearsals everyone put into the cantata, and that sentiment was quite moving. Of course, the music itself was very moving, and I am lucky in that my organ part was easy enough so that I could really listen to all of you.
While you may feel that the performance wasn't perfect (what performance ever is?), I can assure you that, at least from my vantage point, the performance was a real joy and very uplifting. Sure, Messiah is a wonderful thing and you sang it very well, but I am particularly pleased with how well the Bach went. I wish we could do it again.
I wish you all a joyful holiday season, and I thank you for all that you gave to make Sunday's performance a highlight of my year.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is for a solvent reprocessing system, and more particularly, pertains to a solvent reprocessing system for a variety of solvents to high purity levels. 2. Description of the Prior Art Existing on-site solvent reclamation/recycling units offer only single-stage distillation without submicron filtration or solvent drying capabilities. More complex systems are not offered in modular construction with integral secondary containment. No existing systems are designed specifically to reprocess solvents to SEMI specifications or higher quality standards. The present invention provides a solvent reprocessing system which processes a solvent to a high purity level at an inhouse location. The general purpose of the present invention is an on-site solvent reprocessing system that reprocesses a variety of solvents to purity levels, even to a degree higher than SEMI specifications. The system can be operated in batch or continuous mode with any desired degree of automation and handles a wide variety of waste solvents of differing purity levels. The system can also include continuous on-line analysis for impurities, water, particulates and acidity; explosion-proof construction for handling flammable solvents; inherent flexibility to allow modification in case of solvent changes; continuous PC-based data acquisition and control system; and manual semi-automatic or completely automatic operation. The components of the reprocessing system are arranged in preassembled modules with integral secondary containment of all fluid-processing modules. All system operations are designed to minimize vapor and liquid losses, controlling toxic or environmentally hazardous materials. The exact system configuration depends on the solvent being processed, the contaminants in the solvent and the desired purity of the finished product. One significant aspect and feature of the present invention is that in November, 1989, Congress passed a new Excise Tax effective January, 1990, on the use of Freon and other ozone depleting chemicals. An in-house processing system will be completely tax exempt. Another significant aspects and features of the on-site processing system offers many other benefits to a microelectronics company and the industry in general, including: reduction of hazardous waste volume leaving the plant site; a reliable supply of solvent that is not dependent on outside suppliers; a product quality equal to or better than existing purchased product; reduction of waste disposal cost and potential environmental liability; reduction of purchased material cost; fulfills the requirements of EPA and State waste minimization regulations; does not require a Part "B" RCRA permit; completely enclosed systems minimize operator exposure to solvents; automatic still bottoms transfer and handling; and depending upon the contaminants in the waste, yields can be as high as 95% to 99.99% based on the feed solvent. Other significant aspects and features include modular design with integral secondary containment of fluid processing units; integrated liquid/liquid extraction and distillation column for simplified operation; pumpless liquid transfer via pressurized tanks with solvent filling and emptying tank through one nozzle with dip pipe minimizes particulate generation. The design is optimized for production of high-purity solvent at a relatively low processing through-put. It offers unprecedented safety of operation and containment of liquids being processed. Further significant aspects and features of the reprocessing system include integrated water/solvent extraction column and distillation column simplifies process; pumpless material transfer via pressurized tanks with only two connectors to minimize particulate contamination; significantly higher product quality than other on-site units to accept micro-electronic specifications; and integral secondary containment of fluid processing modules to eliminate external leaks in case of spills. Other objects of the present invention and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the figures thereof and wherein: FIG. 5 1A and 1B illustrates a plan view of a solvent reprocessing system, the present invention; FIG. 2 illustrates the alignment of FIGS. 1A and 1B and FIGS. 3A1-3A2 and 3B1-3B2; and, FIGS. 3A1-3A2 and 3B1-3B2 illustrate an alternative embodiment of a solvent reprocessing system. FIGS. 1A-1B illustrates a compact solvent reprocessing system 10 for use in a small or confined area. The system incorporates a number of main components including, but not limited to, an initial feed pump 12, a water wash column 14, a distillation column 16, a hold tank 18, a product circulation pump 20, a plurality of dryer columns including dryer column 22, a plurality of filters including filters 24a-24n and a product tank 26. The initial feed pump 12 is a peristaltic type feed pump which operates by having a rotating rotor that squeezes a flexible Viton tubing inside a fixed housing. This type of pump is used because it can self-prime, and thus can pull fluid out of the initial waste tank 28 of incoming waste solvent 30. One end of the tubing 32 is inserted into the initial waste tank 28 and the other end is attached to the wash column inlet 34 of the water wash column 14 through a feed flow meter 35 as illustrated, or in the alternative to the distillation inlet 36 of the distillation column 16 as desired. The initial feed pump 12 is actuated by a high lever switch 38 and a low level switch 42 in the bottom chamber 40 of the distillation column 16. When the liquid level is low, the initial feed pump 12 is actuated by a low position of level switch 38 and the initial feed pump 12 turns on. This will refill the bottom chamber 40 until the liquid level in the bottom chamber 40 rises again. There is approximately 1/2" of deadband in the level switches. The water wash column 14 is used to contact the incoming waste solvent 30 with a supply of deionized water to remove water-soluble compounds. The deionized water 43 enters the lower portion of the water wash column 14 through port 46. Unprocessed waste solvent 30 is fed into a washing column inlet 34 at the top of the water wash column 14. The deionized water 43 is forced out of the top of the water wash column 14. Since waste solvent 30 will not mix with deionized water 43, and is heavier than water, the waste solvent 30 will fall down through the upflowing deionized water stream 43 and collect at the bottom of the water wash column 14. Both the waste solvent 30 and the deionized water 43 will overflow out of the water wash column 14, through different ports. The deionized water 43 flows out of a top piped port 52 to a drain, and the waste solvent 30 flows through a piped port 54 located below the level of the piped port 52. Vents 56 and 58 are connected from the piped port 52 extending from the top of flanged plate 53 and from the piped port 54. Waste solvent 30 flows by gravity from the bottom of the water wash column 14, through the piped port 54, and through a hose 55 into distillation inlet 36 on the mid portion of the distillation column 16. The distillation column 16 is used to separate the waste solvent 30 from materials that boil at a temperature higher than the waste solvent 30. The distillation column 16 has several components, including a stainless steel bottom chamber 40, a tower section 62 filled with packing, a condenser section 64 with internal cooling coil 66, a cooling coil inlet 68, and a cooling coil outlet 70 at the condenser section plate assembly 72. A low flux electric heater 74 with a chemically resistant element and level switches 38 and 42 are housed in the bottom chamber 40. The low level switch 42 also turns off the heater 74 at a low solvent level in the bottom chamber 40. The high level switch 38 turns initial feed pump 12 on and off to maintain the bottom chamber 40 level. A control panel 75 controls the initial feed pump 32, heater 74 and a reflux solenoid valve 76. The three-way reflux solenoid valve 76 is located under condenser section 64 between a port 78 on the condenser section 64 and a port 80 on the tower section 62. Pipes 82 and 84 plumb the reflux solenoid valve 76 to ports 78 and 80. Another flexible pipe 86 connects the three-way solenoid 76 to the holding tank 18. The distillation column 16 works by boiling the waste solvent 30 in the bottom chamber 40 with the electric heater 74. The solvent vapors 88 rise through the distillation column 16, meeting a stream of down falling liquid reflux 90 along the way. The solvent vapors 88 are condensed in the condenser section 64. Some of the condensed liquid, known as reflux 90, is returned to the distillation column 16 to provide the down falling liquid. The rest of the liquid coming out of the condenser and through the reflux solenoid valve 76 is the final liquid distillate 92, which is deposited through the flex pipe 86 into the holding tank 18. The electric heater 74 is controlled by a power controller 93. This power controller 93 regulates the amount of heat coming out of the electric heater 74, which in turn determines the amount of material being boiled. It may be necessary to regulate the "boilup" to keep from overloading the condenser section 64. Too much boilup is evident by a loss of vapor through a top vent 94 of the distillation column 16, or too much column pressure. The electric heater, 74 also has a safety relay in the power controller 93 to cut off power in case of low liquid level in the bottom chamber 40. To start the electric heater 74, there must be sufficient liquid in the bottom to close low level switch 42. Pushing the heater start button 96 will latch in a relay that energizes the power controller 93. If the liquid level of the waste solvent 30 falls below the safety level, the relay will unlatch and disconnect the power controller 93. The power controller 93 must be manually restarted after a safety shutdown. The reflux solenoid valve 76 is a chemically inert three-way valve located immediately under the water wash column 14. It is controlled by a timer in the control panel 75. The timer is a cycling "on-off" timer. The on and off cycles can be controlled independently The holding tank 18 receives the liquid distillate 92 from the reflux solenoid valve 76 and the flexible pipe 86. The holding tank 18 is held under a slight positive pressure with dry nitrogen 100 to keep out water and dirt. It is made out of cross-linked polyethylene, which is completely compatible with solvents. The circulation pump 20 is a seal-less magnetic drive pump. It has a self-priming chamber 102 on it, allowing the suction line 104 to come out of the top of the holding tank 18 instead of requiring a tap through the bottom or side. The self-priming chamber 102 is filled with solvent and then tightly capped. As the circulation pump 20 draws out the liquid, it creates a partial vacuum that siphons solvent out of the holding tank 18 into the pump inlet 106. The dryer column 22 is a 316L stainless steel pipe 108 with opposing end flanges 110 and 112. The end flanges 110 and 112 are drilled and tapped to accept 1/2" NPT tubing adapters. Inside the column there is about 5 pounds of molecular sieve 114, a ceramic-type pellet material. The molecular sieve 114 is held in place by internal screens 116 and 118 held in between flanges. The sieve 114 as delivered is dry, and can absorb about 15% of its weight in water before it becomes useless. It can be regenerated with hot, dry air, nitrogen or other inert gas. Output of the circulation pump 20 is delivered through a tube 120 to a tubing adapter port 122 on the bottom side of the end flange 110. A flow meter 124 is in series with the tube 120 to indicate flow into the dryer column 22. After drying in the dryer column 22, the dried liquid distillate from adapter port 123 is delivered through tube 126 to the final filters 24a-24n. The filters 24a-24n are a very important part of the solvent reprocessing system 10. They take out the particulate material found in the solvent stream. Most of this particulate material comes from the molecular sieve pellets. The distillation column has taken most of the particulate material out of the feed stream. However, the molecular sieve 114 does shed some material, especially when new. Most of the metallic and elemental contamination in the final product will begin the form of particulate matter. Iron, sodium and other metals are not soluble in solvent and can be removed by filters. Hence the efficiency of the filters will determine the quality of the final product metallic contamination and non-volatile residue as will as particulate levels. Filtered liquid distillate 92 passes from the filters 24a-24n through a tube 128 and a diverter valve 130 into the product tank 26. Another tube 132, with a diverter valve 134 in series, extends between the tube 128 and the holding tank 18. A sample valve 136 extends from the tube 132. FIG. 2 illustrates the alignment of FIGS. 1A and 1B and FIGS. 3A1-3A2 and 3B1-3B2. FIGS. 3A1-3A2 and 3B1-3B2 together illustrate an alternative embodiment of a solvent reprocessing system 200. All wetted equipment is 316L stainless steel, electropolished or passivated to minimize metal contamination of solvent, Teflon or other inert plastics. The system includes a number of components including, but not limited to, a 500-gallon initial waste tank 202; non-maintenance inert gas padded tank transfer systems 204, 206, 207 and 208; 10-foot high, 8-inch distillation column 210 with high-efficiency woven 316L stainless steel internal packing to provide a minimum of 16 theoretical plate separation efficiency; a 4-inch liquid-liquid continuous extractor column 212, also known as a water wash column for removal of water-soluble contaminants; a plurality of dual duplex filters, including filters 214a-214n and 215a-215n, to assure continuous flow during filter changes; circulating chillers 216 and 218 to properly cool and heat product and vents; and a plurality of drying columns including drying columns 220a-220n with internal 4A molecular sieves for removal of water and small organic compounds where regeneration is accomplished automatically without opening the system so that a continuous operation may be provided without introducing external contamination. Also included are a plurality of final product holding tanks including final product holding tanks 222 and 224, a gas chromatograph 226 and optical particle counter 228. A control system is based on a PLC controller 230 with a personal computer 232 running a software package for process monitoring, alarming and control. Controls are mounted in a purged control cabinet 234 for operation in a class 1, division 1 atmosphere. All control valves are remotely operated by pneumatics from solenoids in the purged control cabinet 234. All field electronics have intrinsically safe barriers for safety considerations. Stainless steel or flame-retardant polypropylene enclosures are incorporated, and all enclosures have internal drain pans to completely contain any internal spills of solvents within. The solvent reprocessing system 200 is designed to reprocess solvents 113, such as Freon or others as described herein. Due to the explosion-proof design, versatile distillation column 210 and large drying capacity, the solvent reprocessing system 200 can be modified to purify other solvents of differing flammability, boiling temperatures or contaminants. A feed stream containing solvent from a process tool and solvent vent return lines and other contaminants is delivered to the initial waste holding tank 202 through lines 235 and 237. Incoming solvent waste from a process tool enters the initial waste tank through a line 235, a filter 238 and a valve 240. Solvent recycle returns are manifolded to a manifold tube 242 and pumped to the top of the initial waste tank 202 through line 237. Solvent recycle inputs to the manifold tube ports 242a-242f. Manifold tube port 242a receives recovered solvent from the vent condenser and absorber 320, manifold tube port 242b receives solvent from filter blow down, manifold tube port 242c receives solvent from the distillation column 210, manifold tube port 242d receives solvent from the final product tanks 222 and 224, manifold tube port 242e receives solvent from dryer column 220a-220n blowdown and the manifold port 242f receives solvent from the emergency solvent backup system 316. A vent 244 is provided at the top of initial waste tank 202. Waste from the initial waste holding tank 202 drains by gravity to one of two pressurized transfer tanks 246 or 248 in the tank transfer system 204. When one of the tanks, such as tank 246, is 90% full, it sends a signal to the PLC controller 230 via an internal magnetic float switch 250. The inlet valve in the tank transfer system 204 is closed, and the transfer tank 246 is pressurized and is placed in a "ready" mode. When the other tank 248 is 15% full, again, sensed by a magnetic float switch 252, the outlet valves in the tank transfer system 204 are switched and the full tank, i.e., transfer tank 246, begins delivering waste solvent product. The filling and emptying ar done by an extended dip tube (not illustrated), minimizing fluid velocity. The only moving parts are the magnetic float switches and the control valves. This lack of moving parts minimizes maintenance, turbulence and particle-generating processes. The outgoing waste solvent 254 from the tank transfer system 204 is pipe fed through the filters 214a-214n and to a top port 256 at the upper end of the water wash column 212 where it is contacted with deionized water 258 which is inputted through line 257 to a lower port 260 in the water wash column 212 to extract the water-soluble contaminants in the same fashion as described in FIG. 1. The waste solvent 254 and deionized water 258 are cooled by circulating chiller 216 before entering the column to 45� F. to minimize the solubility of water in the solvent. The waste solvent 254 then leaves the bottom of the water wash column 212 through a bottom port 262, a pipe 264 and a feed heater 265 and flows by gravity directly into the distillation column 210. The deionized water 258, having just scrubbed the waste solvent 254, flows out the top port 268 of the water wash column 212 and flows by gravity through a pressurized drain pipe 272 or pump station. The washed waste solvent 254 enters the distillation column 210 in the side feed port 266. This feed location provides for an upper stripping section 210a to provide a good quality product, and a lower enriching section 210b to boil most of the waste solvent out of the still bottoms 272. The still bottoms 272 are drained out at regular intervals through a drain valve 274 as governed by its temperature. The boiling temperature of the bottoms 272 is a sensitive indicator of the dissolved contaminants in the liquid. These bottoms are drained by gravity into a single vented pneumatic transfer tank 275 through the drain valve 274. It is then pressurized by nitrogen and the waste solvent 276 blown into an effluent solvent system or waste container as desired such as a 55 gallon waste container. The distillation column 210 is packed by 7 feet of high-efficiency woven mesh packing. It has an electric heating coil 277 in the still bottoms 272 for heat and a horizontal condenser 278 for cooling the tops 280. Some of the condensed tops fluid are returned to the distillation column 210 as reflux through an external 3-way solenoid valve 282. The remainder is sent on as distilled solvent product 284 and is routed by a connected line 286 through the transfer tank system 207 which operates much the same as the transfer tank system 204. From the transfer tank system 207, the distilled solvent product 284 is sampled by a gas chromatograph 226 at 227b and is also sent through line 286 and a valve 288 to the drying columns 220a-220n. Another valve 289 is provided in line 286 for recycling of distilled solvent product at a point 242c back to the initial waste tank 202 through manifold 242. The end of the still bottoms 272 can be removed for cleaning or inspection. The distilled solvent product 284 is dried by passing it through molecular sieve material in the drying columns 220a-220n. The molecular sieve 291 has a pore size of 4 angstroms, which will remove water and small organic compounds such as alcohols. There are three drying columns, including columns 220a-220n, operated in a round robin fashion. Two columns are treating the product in a lead-lag configuration while the third column is being regenerated. At an appropriate schedule, the columns are switched, with the lag column becoming the lead, the regenerated column becoming the lag and the lead column isolated to be regenerated. This process assures the best column performance and lowest product contamination levels at a constant product flow. No operator attention is needed for the entire operation. The columns 220a-220n are regenerated by blowing hot, dry nitrogen or other inert gas through them. The gas is heated by an in-line electric heater 290. A regeneration temperature of 250� F. is sufficient to assure good regeneration. The temperature of the regeneration air and the exhausted air are monitored to determine the end of the regeneration cycle. A series of automatically operated valves at the upper, lower and midsection allow for accomplishment of regeneration of the sieve material therein. The regeneration air heater 290 is plumbed to the top side of the drying columns 220a-220n. The distilled solvent product 284 then passes through a line 292, through valves 294 and 296, and into vented tanks 222 and 224. Distilled solvent product 284 is delivered to the tank transfer system 208 and tanks 298 and 300 via valves 302 and 304 in the drain line system 306. The distilled solvent product 284 is filtered through the final dual duplex filters 215a-215n. The two-stage filtration through submicron filters removes the particulate contamination. Two sets of filters allows product flow while changing the filters without bypassing. Blowdown valves allow the recovery of the solvent contained in the filter housings back to the initial waste holding tank through manifold port 242b, minimizing produce loss. A line 308 plumbs the transfer tanks 298 and 300 to the final filters 215a-215n from transfer tank system 208 and includes a valve 310. Valves 312 and 314 tee off of line 308 for recycling of distilled solvent product 284 to the initial waste tank 202 through manifold port 242d and for connection to the emergency solvent backup system 316. The final product holding tanks include vents 313 and 315. The gas chromatograph 226 is used to monitor the incoming waste at 227a, the distillation column product at 227b and the output of the final filters 215a-215n at 227c to assure the proper operation of the solvent reprocessing system 200. The particles in the finished product are monitored by an optical particle counter 228. Both the gas chromatograph 226 and the optical particle counter 228 are tied into the PLC controller 230 via alarm contacts to initiate automatic process corrections including automatic shutdown. After passing through the optical particle counter 228, the filtered distilled product 284 passes through line 318 to be used by a process tool 324. The solvent reprocessing system 200 includes an automatic backup where uninterrupted flow is guaranteed. The system feeds virgin solvent in two ways. To make up for vapor losses, the virgin solvent is fed into the initial waste holding tank 202 to maintain level. This way, the virgin solvent will receive the same purification as the distilled solvent product 284, assuring the same product quality. In case of a system shutdown, the virgin solvent from the emergency solvent backup system 316 is fed directly into the product line to continue product flow to the process tool. The solvent reprocessing system 200 also includes a vent condenser and absorber system 320. Nitrogen pressurization, drains, and atmospheric vents and other connections are indicated throughout in FIGS. 3A-3B by appropriate symbols as depicted in the key 322. The emergency solvent backup system 316 includes a fresh solvent supply drum 326 connected to a pneumatic pump 328 powered by a compressed gas source 330. Output of the pump 328 is directed through a valve 332, through port 242f of manifold 242 and into the waste holding tank to deliver routine makeup solvent fluid. Fresh solvent fluid is also delivered through valve 334 and valve 312 to line between the tank transfer system 208 and the plurality of final filters 215a-215n as emergency feed from the fresh solvent supply drum 326. The vent condenser and absorber system 320 includes a vent condenser 336 which receives vapors from various system vents which are condensate, collected in a condensate decanter 338 and returned to the waste holding tank 202 through port 242a. Circulating chiller 218 provides for cooling of the vent condenser 336. A vent absorber drum 340 also connects to the vent condenser 336. Waste water is drained overboard through line 342. Appropriate solvents for reprocessing are: Tricholoroethylene (TCE) 1,1,1, Trichloroethane (TCA) Methylene Chloride Perchloroethylene Freon TF,TA,TE,TES,TMC,TMS Diaflon 23,23-MC,23-3,S3-ES Genesolv etc. Methyl Alcohol Ethyl Alcohol Isopropyl Alcohol Butyl Alcohol Methyl Ethylketone (MED) Methyl Isobutylketone (MLBK) Xylene Other solvents such as n-methyl pyrrolidane and acetone may be possible to recycle depending upon impurities. The previous discussion of FIGS. and 3 also describe the mode of operation. Various modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the apparent scope hereof.

37 year old woman | Cincinnati, OH, USA | Seeking men 33-45 within 25 miles
My personal mantra is a work in progress.
The word that best describes how I feel at this stage in the game is "grateful." I have a loving and supportive family. I have close friends, both new and old. I have a warm little house on a quiet street with kind neighbors. I have an awesome job that both challenges me and allows me to make best use of some of my better skills. Life is good. The people in my life would hopefully say that I'm a committed friend, that my relationships mean a lot to me and that I put in the effort. I think my friends would say that I love deeply, but that I'm also a pretty pragmatic person. I work hard at my job so that I can play hard in my downtime. I'm curious about the world, and I'm also curious about YOU. I'm looking for someone who is kind and smart, someone who doesn't take himself too seriously, someone who is equal parts silliness and deep sincerity. I'm looking for someone who meets life challenges with perseverence and grace, who knows what he wants and is flexible enough to make room in his life for someone new. I'm looking for someone to have a little fun with. Ultimately, I'm looking for someone to share a life with, someone who will bring out the best in me and for whom I can do the same.

Nathan Richter | January 14, 2014 | Comments
A growing number of companies are realizing they are doing business in a brave new world, where marketing to consumers can't be left to their online retail partners, distributors or affiliates.
A growing number of companies are realizing they are doing business in a brave new world, where marketing to consumers can't be left to their online retail partners, distributors or affiliates.
Historically, manufacturers only needed to provide product specifications or utilitarian overviews on their websites and could leave the marketing and sales sides to ecommerce specialists. However, connecting directly with consumers is now a must-have, not a nice-to-have, in order for any company to gain brand exposure, market share and revenue.
The question is: Where to begin?
The first step is to create an online marketing program that will educate the consumer on new innovations or product releases and to build all initiatives around a transaction.
Take, for example, a major car company. The executives knew the corporate website offered opportunities, but they couldn't pinpoint them, nor could they associate a value to each of those engagement possibilities. Once we took a look at the company's website, we immediately were able to highlight the most valuable interaction points and start to optimize areas for conversion.
These kinds of breakthroughs can mean increased profits for companies as they begin to turn their once stale websites into information and transactional hubs.
Think Bigger
What companies must understand is that their ecommerce counterparts are way ahead of them; practicing a handful of online marketing tactics isn't enough. Find tools to help marketing programs accelerate exponentially -- not one or two potential programs at a time, but 50, 60 or more.
While marketing programs are created to fight for mindshare, the messaging is all about wallet share. The key to this second phase is getting that right message in front of consumers in every possible interaction.
Here's an example: A building supplier needed to delineate between two types of customers, the professional builder who knows the ins and outs of the construction industry, and the do-it-yourself consumer researching a home project. The company needed its one-size-fits-all website to meet the needs of both customers. By creating different profiles and adding a personalization engine on the website, the building supplier was able to utilize the existing site infrastructure to better serve both types of customers while increasing interaction and response.
This may sound daunting, especially if a company has never thought of its website in terms of the end user, but even moreso is the prospect of not doing anything.
Late to the Game Doesn't Mean Second-Best
Understand that not having yet developed a direct-to-consumer offering doesn't mean a company can't or won't be successful. In many ways, there is an advantage to waiting and developing later than competition or contemporaries.
Ultimately, a company that traditionally used resellers can gain a tremendous advantage by developing its own programs and technologies with their customers in mind. Use this time to create an agile environment of people, process and systems. SaaS technologies afford companies an advantage of connecting their legacy systems (and customer information) with front-end delivery technology that results in quick acceleration into the marketplace.
Challenge Accepted
Once a company realizes that its brand and revenue are at stake, there really won't be much that can get in the way.
The next step is to realize that acceleration is the name of the game. Don't be afraid to find the right partners and programs and move quickly. Yes, the weeks and months ahead may be challenging, but the end result will mean more loyal customers and more opportunities for new revenue and profit.

I brewed a batch of beer two days ago and it's my first time using california ale yeast. The fermentation took longer to start than I've ever experienced and although the trub is swilling around the whole carboy, there's only about half an inch or so of krausen on top. Is this normal for this yeast? I plan on just waiting and seeing what happens, but this brew is for a friends wedding reception.
Did you only pitch the tube? Make a starter? What's the original gravity of the beer and did you aerate? If you just pitched the tube it will definitely take longer, and if its got a moderate gravity I worry that it will stall out.
On Deck: Evil Twin All Grain Primary BB: 50/50 (Braggot) Secondary BB: Empty Secondary Glass: Ed Wort's Apelwein Ideas: Oatmeal Stout
I use WLP001 as often as possible. Have always had great results with it but I also always make a 1250ml starter just to insure a faster start and cleaner fermentation. Start times vary but I have seen visual fermentation begin anywhere from 3 to 5 hours and it has never taken more than 8 hours. As far as aeration, I rack about half the wort from my kettle to my fermenter, add the yeast, and then rack the balance allowing the wort to splash as it goes in and the result is about 3" of aerated foam. I'm sure there are better ways, but this works well for me. Regarding your krausen, I've had some with 1/2" and some needed a blow-off, depends on the type of beer and amount of fermentables. If you have krausen, it's probably fine, just let it work.
What was the expiration date on the vial? I use White Labs exclusively and I never do a starter. Just pitch the vial straight into the fermenter. For the most part with well aerated wort i've seen visible activity in my airlock within about 8 hours or less. I've never had a problem. though I live in San Diego and buy it locally so I always have it when its really fresh. In some cases it was cultured the day before i bought and used it
In Primary: In Secondary: On Tap: Shiner Mock (Shiner Bock Clone) Highlanders Glory (Strong Scottish Ale) Krawler Kolsch Peachy Keen (Peach Ale) Venemous Vanilla Porter Zen Kolsch (Green Tea Honey Kolsch) Slam Dunkel (Dunkelweizen) Milky Stout (Sweet/Milk Stout) Bottled: Barley Bliss (18.5% ABV Barley Wine) Victory Vanilla Porter Spiced Holiday Porter
When I started brewing I used Wyeast smacked packs directly into cooled wort. I never had a problem with the beer even with minimal aeration. Proper pitching will lead to better beer faster. Typically, a beer that is under pitched will ferment out given enough time. The caveat to this are high OG beers that really need the cell count. My 1.08 stout died at 1.035 even with a pack of US-05, so just be careful.
What was the OG and volume of your brew? I never pitch just the tube....always a nice starter. I try to pitch at 60 and my lag times are usually around 4-8 hours...
Every ferment is different, RDWHAHB
Thanks for the info. I pitched the tube into 5 gallons of 1.055 wort. I do starters for bigger beers, but never for something this "average" of a gravity. It's been chugging right along and smells pretty great. At first I wasn't sure if white labs just had more lag time than wyeast or safale.

Professional Intern I Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Southern California Edison.
I applied online through a posting on a job board.
Got a call from a HR person in about a week. He scheduled the first round interview for the next day. The first round was a one hour interview with 15 mins behavioral, 30 mins for a case, and 15 mins for questions. I heard back in the positive that very evening. They scheduled a second round interview 2 business days after the first round. The second round was mostly behavioral relating to past experiences in a team and as a leader. Overall very friendly interviewers who were able to explain everything clearly and professionally.

The term "arthritis" refers to an inflammation of a joint. Arthritis can reduce strength and mobility for performing even the most routine of chores around work or home. It is one of the most common disabling conditions, but can be managed through diet, exercise, education, and care.
Arthritis affects approximately one-third of all adult farm and ranch operators and is considered one of the leading causes of disability by customers of the USDA AgrAbility Project. With the average age of the American farmer climbing above 57, increasingly more farmers will find tasks difficult to complete. Many agricultural workers do not know they may be at risk of developing arthritis.
Calcium, which is found in dairy products, leafy vegetables, shellfish, and other calcium-fortified foods (orange juice, breads, cereals) is one of the main building blocks of bone. Vitamin D is important in building strong bones because it helps the body absorb the calcium from foods. Make sure to get the recommended daily dietary values of both Calcium and Vitamin D to prevent bone loss.
