Nathaniel Branden (born April 9, 1930) is an American[1] psychotherapist and writer known for his work in the psychology of self-esteem. A former associate and romantic partner of Ayn Rand, Branden also played a prominent role in the 1960s in promoting Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. Rand and Branden split acrimoniously in 1968, after which Branden focused on developing his own psychological theories and modes of therapy.
Nathaniel Branden was born Nathan Blumenthal in Brampton, Ontario, and grew up alongside three sisters, two older and one younger. A gifted student, he became impatient with his studies during his first year of high school and skipped school often in favor of the library. After getting failing grades as a result, he convinced his mother to send him to a special accelerated high school for adults, and subsequently did well in that environment.[2]
After graduating from high school, Branden went on to earn his BA in psychology from the University of California Los Angeles, an MA from New York University,[3] and in 1973, a Ph.D. in psychology from the California Graduate Institute (CGI), then an unaccredited, state-approved school whose graduates may be licensed by the state to practice psychology.[4] (Graduates of unaccredited state-approved schools such as CGI are limited to associate membership in the American Psychological Association).[2][5]
In 1950, after he had read The Fountainhead and exchanged letters and phone calls with Ayn Rand, Branden and his then-girlfriend Barbara Weidman visited Rand and her husband Frank O'Connor at their Los Angeles home. The four became close friends, with Branden and Rand in particular sharing a vivid interest in philosophical exploration and development.[6][7] After the publication of Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged, and sensing an interest on the part of Rand's readers in further philosophic education, Branden created in 1958 the Nathaniel Branden Institute (NBI) to disseminate Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, by offering live and taped lecture courses by Rand, Branden, and a variety of other Objectivist intellectuals (including Alan Greenspan, whom Branden had brought into Rand's fold). During this time Branden also contributed articles to Rand's newsletters on subjects ranging from economics to politics to psychology.[2]
NBI expanded considerably over the course of its existence, ultimately offering courses in 80 cities and establishing an office in the Empire State Building.[8] In 1968, Rand publicly broke with Branden and published an article denouncing him and accusing him of a variety of offenses, such as philosophic irrationality and unresolved psychological problems.[9] In response, Branden sent out a letter to the NBI mailing list denying Rand's accusations and suggesting that the actual cause of Rand's denunciation of him was his unwillingness to engage in a romantic relationship with her.[10] (Branden later explained in his memoir that he and Rand had in fact been romantically intimate for a period of time in the late 1950s; see personal life.)
After the break, Branden went on to publish The Psychology of Self-Esteem (many chapters of which he had published originally in Rand's newsletter), and then to develop his theory and mode of therapy more independently of Rand's influence. Though he remained supportive of the broad essentials of Rand's philosophy, he eventually offered criticisms of aspects of her work, naming as problems his perceptions of her tendency to encourage emotional repression and moralizing, her failure to understand psychology beyond its cognitive aspects, and her failure to appreciate adequately the importance of kindness in human relationships.[11] He also apologized in an interview to "every student of Objectivism" for "perpetuating the Ayn Rand mystique" and for "contributing to that dreadful atmosphere of intellectual repressiveness that pervades the Objectivist movement."[12]
Branden argues that self-esteem is a human psychological need and that to the extent this need remains unmet, pathology (defensiveness, anxiety, depression, difficulty in relationships, etc.) tends to result.[13] He defines self-esteem formally as "the disposition to experience oneself as competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and as worthy of happiness",[14] and proposes that, while others (parents, teachers, friends) can nurture and support self-esteem in an individual, self-esteem also relies upon various internally generated practices. These consist, in Branden's framework, of six "pillars" of self-esteem:[15]
Branden distinguishes his approach to self-esteem from that of many others by his inclusion of both confidence and worth in his definition of self-esteem, and by his emphasis on the importance of internally generated practices for the improvement and maintenance of self-esteem. For this reason, he has at times expressed lack of enthusiasm about the teachings of the "self-esteem movement",[15] which he is sometimes credited with having spawned. (He has been referred to as "the father of the self-esteem movement."[16])
While Branden began his practice of therapy as, primarily, a cognitivist,[2] starting in the 1970s he rapidly shifted toward a decidedly technically eclectic stance, utilizing techniques from gestalt therapy, psychodrama, neo-Reichian breathwork, Ericksonian hypnosis, etc., as well as original techniques such as his sentence completion method, which he favored. In a piece from 1973, he characterized his mode of therapy as consisting of four aspects: education, emotional unblocking, stimulation of insight, and encouragement of behavior change. In contrast to the exclusively experiential or exclusively cognitive (insight-oriented) methods of the day, Branden saw his mode of therapy as distinguished in part by "the integration of the emotional and the cognitive, the practice of constantly moving back and forth between the experiential and the conceptual."[17]
Sentence completion, a method that figures prominently in Branden's mode of therapy, is a good example of this dual focus. In its most common variation, it consists of a therapist giving a client an incomplete sentence—a sentence stem—and having the client repeat the sentence stem over and over, each time adding a new ending, going quickly, without thinking or censoring, and inventing endings when stuck. In this way, a therapist can facilitate the generation of awareness and insight (for example, with a stem such as, "If my fear could speak, it might say—"), as well as shifts in cognitive-motivational structure (for example, with a stem such as, "If I were to be kinder to myself when I'm afraid—"). By improvising a succession of such stems, many based on endings generated by a previous stem, a therapist can, according to Branden, lead a client on a sometimes dramatically emotional journey of self exploration and self-discovery.[17]
More recently, Branden has integrated techniques from the field of energy psychology, such as Thought Field Therapy and Seemorg Matrix work, into his practice, viewing psychological trauma (which such techniques target) as a significant barrier to growth and development. He has described human problems as occurring both "above the line"—that is, in the realm of cognition and volitional behavior—and "below the line"—that is, in the realm of unconscious trauma stored in the body.[18]
Branden married Barbara Weidman in 1953, with Rand and Rand's husband Frank O'Connor in attendance. Branden would later state the marriage was unwise, and troubled from the beginning.[19] In the context of these troubles, and Rand's reported frustrations in her own marriage, Branden and Rand—who had a passionate philosophic bond—developed amorous feelings for each other, and, with the reluctant permission of their spouses, began a love affair in 1954.[20][19] The affair lasted until the publication of Atlas Shrugged in 1957, after which, according to Branden, Rand became depressed, and the affair, practically speaking, ended.[19]
Branden reports that Rand remained psychologically dependent on him after this period, and eventually began pushing for a resumption of their affair; his own marriage, meanwhile, was deteriorating, although he and Barbara were becoming closer as friends.[19] Branden then met and fell in love with a student at NBI, Patrecia Scott (née Gullison). The two began an affair in 1964, shortly after which Nathaniel separated from Barbara and informed her of the affair.[21] He and Barbara kept the affair secret, fearing Rand's explosive anger.[22] In 1968, Rand learned of the affair, and, in response, violently condemned both Brandens, dissociated herself from them, and denounced them publicly.[23][24]
Branden at this point moved to California with Patrecia; the two married in November 1969.[25] In March 1977, Patrecia died in a freak drowning accident, falling into a pool after presumably suffering a mild epileptic seizure.[26] After a period of mourning, Branden married businesswoman (and later psychotherapist) Estelle Devers in December 1978.[27] The two later divorced, though they remained friends.[28] Branden subsequently married Leigh Horton.[29]
Branden retained a relationship—sometimes friendly, sometimes acrimonious—with his first wife, Barbara, who wrote a successful biography, The Passion of Ayn Rand, which detailed Branden's relationship with Rand and the bitter breakup. The book was made into a motion picture in 1999 titled The Passion of Ayn Rand, starring Helen Mirren as Rand and Eric Stoltz as Branden.[30]
Branden's books have been translated into 18 languages, with more than 4 million copies in print.[31] In addition, Branden contributed essays to two of Rand's essay collections, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal and The Virtue of Selfishness.

Date Published:
June 5, 2012
This instant New York Times bestselling page-turner features a cast of real and imagined literary characters, cunning intertwined plots, and stars a skeptical H.G. Wells as a time-traveling investigator in Victorian London.Set in Victorian London with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time boasts a triple-play of intertwined plots in which a skeptical H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and thereby save the lives of an aristocrat in love with a murdered prostitute from the past; of a woman bent on fleeing the strictures of Victorian society; and of his very own wife, who may have become a pawn in a fourth-dimensional plot to murder the authors of Dracula, The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds, in order to alter their identities and steal their fictional creations. But what happens if we change history? Mingling fictional characters with real ones, Félix J. Palma weaves a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting, a story full of love and adventure that also pays homage to the roots of science fiction while transporting its readers to a fascinating Victorian London for their own taste of time travel.
Inspired by H.G. Wells's THE TIME MACHINE, Felix J. Palma's THE MAP OF TIME is a rollicking adventure. An omniscient narrator with a charming voice tells this three-part story, which wends together seemingly disconnected scenarios into a captivating whole. And historical figures such as Wells himself and Joseph Merrick (commonly known as the Elephant Man), who are brought to life in a fantastical yet wholly believable steampunk revision of Victorian London, provide just enough grounding for this imaginative time-traveling tale.

Nothing much to show off, but here's how I easily, or more importantly, cheaply moved from a swamp cooler to a temperature controlled fermentation chamber. I decided on a used chest freezer since they seem to be the most economical option and they can be repurposed to keezers. I didn't want this to take up a lot of space so I went for a 5cf. After 3 weeks looking on Craigslist I saw one advertised for $50 and picked it up for $40. It's a Lowe's Holiday, the older model that holds 3 kegs. The $20 STC-1000 from mixtea on Ebay took 35 days to arrive. For the enclosure I took 2 single-gang outlet boxes, butted and glued them together and drilled a hole in between. The STC-1000 only fits in some single-gang boxes - I took it to home depot to find one that fit and had to break off a couple plastic tabs in the outlet box. Wiring the STC-1000 is simple, there's plenty of info on the web. I removed the metal tabs on the outlet in order to have separate cool / heat outlets. On the outlet side I drilled an extra hole for the power supply and sensor wires and routed them through a rubber grommet. I cut and glued MDF to frame the outlet boxes, and applied a temporary paint job (need to get more black paint). The bottom is Velcro'ed to keep it in place when I open the chamber. A 75w bulb provides enough warmth to raise the temp when necessary - my basement doesn't get too cold. Changing from fermentation to cold condition temps and back again is so, so easy with this setup. The wires are run under the lid for now and I'll probably just leave it that way. I believe the entire setup was less than $75 and it is working great.
Looks good. I've been looking to do something like this myself.
Velcroed it to the lid. Genius!
I like it I have been looking into doing the same thing thanks for the idea of a light was trying to figure out a cheap heating source.

Economic Forecast
Behind the Numbers
- The November economic forecast is very similar to the September forecast.
- The September BEA release also reflected the annual revision of state personal income. Annual revisions are made "to incorporate source data that are more complete and more detailed than previously available." The annual revision raised the estimate of Washington personal income in 2013 by $4.403 billion (1.3%) compared to the previously available estimate. The revision was more than accounted for by a $5.108 billion (7.9%) increase in the estimate for dividends, interest, and rent. According to the revised estimates, Washington personal income increased 2.5% in 2013 which ranked 10th fastest among the fifty states and District of Columbia.
Forecast Data
During a typical forecast cycle, the Chief Economist and staff of the Forecast Council (ERFC) meet with the Forecast Work Group to discuss the preliminary U.S. and state economic forecasts.
ERFC produces preliminary economic forecasts for the U.S. and Washington. The preliminary forecasts are then reviewed and discussed by the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors (GCEA) in the presence of the Governor and members of the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council.
Once the final economic forecasts for the U.S. and the state are completed, work begins on the General Fund-State revenue forecast. The economic forecasts are completed first because data from the economic forecasts are used to produce the revenue forecasts.

Samsung refreshes iPhone challenger
Galaxy s 4 will have larger, sharper screen than the S III
NEW YORK — Samsung Electronics is ratcheting up its rivalry with Apple with its new Galaxy S 4 smartphone, which has a larger, sharper screen than its predecessor, the best-selling S III.
Samsung trumpeted the much-anticipated phone's arrival Thursday at an event accompanied by a live orchestra while an audience of thousands watched the theatrics unfold on a four-level stage. Summoning up a touch of Broadway, Samsung employed 17 actors to demonstrate the new phone's features in a series of scripted vignettes.
The Galaxy S 4, which crams a 5-inch screen into a body slightly smaller than the S III's, will go on sale in the U.S. between the end of April and the end of June.
In the U.S., it will be sold by all four national carriers — Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA — as well as by smaller ones US Cellular and Cricket. Samsung plans to offer the Galaxy 4 S through 327 carriers in 155 countries, giving it a wider reach than Apple's iPhone 5.
Samsung didn't say what the phone will cost, but it can be expected to start at $200 with a two-year contract in the U.S. That's comparable to the iPhone 5.
JK Shin, the executive in charge of Samsung's mobile communications division, promised the money would be well-spent for a "life companion" that will "improve the way most people live every day."
That bold promise set the tone for the kind of flashy presentation associated with the showmanship of Apple, the company Samsung has been trying to upstage. Apple contends Samsung has been trying to do it by stealing its ideas — an allegation has triggered bitter courtroom battles around the world.
In the last two years, Samsung has emerged as Apple's main competitor in the high-end smartphone market. At the same time, it has sold enough inexpensive low-end phones to edge out Nokia Corp. as the world's largest maker of phones.

My first time to Maui and I stayed here July 13, 2013 - July 18, 2013. I just read some of the recent reviews, including a very negative review due to outdated decor in room.
Fortunately, I stayed in a recently renovated room which was lovely. I don't think I would have found Napili Kai worth the money had we not stayed in a renovated room. The location is stunning...on a little bay with a small coral reef.
Things I liked:
- Did not feel nickel-and-dimed; beach towels use is free, snorkels/masks free to rent
- Gas and propane grills available
- Grounds are beautiful and quiet
- Employees are super friendly and helpful
- Love that rooms have full kitchen which helped us save a lot of money on food
- Parking your car is free
- Lovely "trail" past Ritz, DT Flemming beach
- Water sports gear rental (paddle boards, snorkel fins, wave boards) just 2 blocks away
- Couple great restaurants within walking distance
- Lots of beach and pool chairs (you don't need to rush down in the morning and stake out a spot)
- Free coolers and ice to use while you are there
Things I didn't care for:
- Restaurant food was not that good (and not worth the money)
- Room had ants by 4th day (we are not messy or dirty people at all)
- Massage spa was not very good (see my review for Makai Massage) - not worth money
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Plantation-style Resort on secluded beach; 3 miles from Kapalua-West Maui Arpt; 9 mi from Lahaina & 36 mi from Kahului Airport. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Expedia, Despegar.com, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Priceline, Orbitz, TripOnline SA, Odigeo and Tingo so you can book your Napili Kai Beach Resort reservations with confidence.

Fire the U.S. Congress for Treason: How Many Blatant Favors for AIPAC? Jan 11 0 comments How many times will U.S. elected Representatives of the U.S. House and Senate have to kiss Israels ass, and in how many ways, before our country will build a true national security teamthat is one actually focused on U.S. security and not primarily on Israels? It is bad enough when Jewish-Americans politicians (with more substantive allegiance to Israel than the U.S.) like junior Senator Ben Cardin for Maryland, claiming his decision on whether Chuck Hagel will be a good Secretary of Defense resides on whether he is onboard with Israels/AIPACs agenda of having war with Israels enemy Iran (at least as backup force); or NY Senator Chuck Schumer equivocating about not feeling comfortable with voting for Hagel because of some of Hagels past attitudes; but even more so with suck-ups like Lindsey Graham giving about the best ass-kissing one could expect (to think some confederates once had some principle of pride and independence). Friday the 13th Day of Solidarity Jul 13 0 comments Shell's haulage was repeatedly stopped by protesters from Rossport Solidarity Camp during todays day of solidarity with the community in Erris under siege from the imposition of the Corrib gas project.

UKTV channel Dave refreshes brand identity
UKTV's free-to-air channel Dave is to launch a refreshed brand identity for its on- and off-air presence tomorrow.
The brand renewal includes more than 40 programme idents and was led by UKTV's senior brand manager Will Gunton and the marketing manager for Dave, Hik Sasaki, who worked in partnership with Red Bee.
Gunton said: "Dave has always stood out for its unique personality, which gives us the ability to talk and act in ways which others can't.
"This refresh is designed to inject this unique persona into everything we do on and off screen, and expand the Dave brand to an even bigger audience."
Dave attracts 27 million individuals a month, according to Barb.
The channel has recently announced a host of original comedy commissions, including the chat show 'Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled', a trio of football specials to air ahead of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, and a second series of both 'Ross Noble Freewheeling' and the adult storytelling programme 'Crackanory'.
Steve North, the general manager of Dave, said: "The updated look and feel Red Bee has created provides a re-energised and more flexible platform for the channel's wide range of brilliant programming."
UKTV also announced last year it was further extending the channel brand off screen, with a brand licensing deal to create Dave merchandise and events.

Description This invention relates to the conversion of certain hydrocarbon streams. It more particularly refers to a rather specific process arrangement for refining a heavy liquid hydrocarbon fraction of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into a product slate including high quality jet fuel. It is known that jet fuel must have a rather low freeze point because it must be a pumpable fluid at high altitudes where low temperatures are almost always encountered. A usual technique for providing jet fuel is to simply take a light kerosine (350Ḟ to 450Ḟ F) cut from crude petroleum and adjust its freeze point and smoke point by conventional techniques including solvent extraction and/or dewaxing. It has been proposed to adjust pour point, cloud point and/or freeze point of distillate fraction, including kerosines by treating them by selective catalytic conversion. One such catalytic conversion utilizes catalysts comprising ZSM-5 and/or similarly behaving crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites. These catalytic materials have high silica to alumina ratios of greater than 12, constraint indices (as defined in U.S. Pat. No. 3,894,102) of 1 to 12 and preferably a crystal density of not substantially below about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter. Other zeolites which conform to these parameters are ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-35, and ZSM-38. This catalytic conversion is suitably operated at a temperature of about 500Ḟ to 800Ḟ F. In a preferred operation the catalyst has a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component incorporated therewith, suitably nickel, and the conversion is operated under some hydrogen pressure. This preferred operation lengthens the catalyst cycle life and therefore contributes to the economy of the operation. In recent times there has been a renewed interest in the production of petroleum products from coal. One such technique utilizes a Fischer-Tropsch process for converting synthesis gas (CO + H2) to a product comprising hydrocarbons and oxygenates including a high boiling range waxy product boiling above 650Ḟ F that does not contain the sulfur, nitrogen or metal impurities often found in crude oil. The Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon product is roughly separated initially by successive cooling operations, usually by indirect cooling, to first separate out a relatively heavy fraction of hydrocarbons and oxygenates boiling above about 400Ḟ F from a gasoline boiling range fraction. The material boiling above 400Ḟ F is known as a decant oil. The product boiling below 400Ḟ F is further cooled to isolate a C5 to 400Ḟ F gasoline boiling range material from lower boiling gaseous materials. The Fischer-Tropsch product boiling above 400Ḟ F is highly aliphatic and in fact is highly olefinic with normal 1-olefins predominating. It is a difficult material to convert to reasonably quality distillate products, particularly to high quality jet fuel. It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a process for upgrading a Fischer-Tropsch decant oil product comprising oxygenates to produce quality distillate products including high quality jet fuel. Other and additional objects of this invention will become more apparent from a consideration of this entire specification including the drawing and the claims hereof. Understanding of this invention will be facilitated by reference to the accompanying drawing, the single FIGURE of which is a block flow diagram of the preferred aspect of the process of this invention. In accord with and fulfilling these objects, one aspect of this invention resides in upgrading a Fischer-Tropsch decant oil product comprising oxygenates. In the process of this invention the decant oil being upgraded has a boiling range of about 350Ḟ to 850Ḟ F. Decant oils of other or more narrow ranges may also be upgraded by the process of this invention but the boiling range specified will be used for illustrative purposes as being representative and convenient. The decant oil is first subjected to a hydropretreatment or hydrogenation operation under conditions sufficiently severe to saturate olefinic compounds and remove oxygenates, particularly organic acids. The hydrotreated product is separated to provide an overhead fraction which roughly boils below about 650Ḟ F. The bottoms product obtained from the separator is roughly 650Ḟ plus material. The overhead 650Ḟ F minus fraction is then separated to remove naphtha boiling range material having an end point within the range of 350Ḟ to about 400Ḟ F from a second bottoms fraction comprising higher boiling material. The second bottoms fraction recovered from the naphtha separation step and comprising material boiling above 350Ḟ F and up to about 650Ḟ F combined with 650Ḟ F plus material separated as above described. A portion of the second bottoms fraction separated from 350Ḟ F minus naphtha material is collected for use as, for example, a diesel fuel. The separated 650Ḟ F plus bottoms fraction mixed with the second bottoms fraction boiling up to about 650Ḟ F and as low as about 350Ḟ F generally has a pour point higher than the specification for No. 2 (distillate) fuel oil and diesel oil. A kerosene component fraction thereof has too high a freeze point for use as a jet fuel. Therefore, the mixed fractions boiling above 350Ḟ F provided as above described is then passed in contact with a catalyst comprising a special crystalline zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12, a constraint index of 1 to 12 and preferably a crystal density of not substantially below about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter at a temperature of about 500Ḟ to 800Ḟ F, a space velocity of about 0.5 to 5 LHSV and preferably under hydrogen pressure of about 100 to 800 psig. When the preferred hydrogen pressure operation is used, the zeolite catalyst preferably has incorporated therewith a suitable Group VIII metal hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, most preferably nickel, in a proportion of about 0.5 to 5 weight percent. It is not unusual to carry out the conversion and upgrading operation herein described with a fixed catalyst bed that is periodically taken out of service and regenerated. It is possible, however, to utilize a dense fluidized catalyst bed system or even a dispersed fluidized or transport (FCC type) catalyst system providing facilities for effecting continuous or semicontinous regeneration of catalyst, or regeneration of at least a portion of the catalyst is provided. The product of this upgrading operation is composed of light hydrocarbon gases, principally C3 's, a relatively high quality naphtha boiling range fraction and an upgraded distillate fraction which is usually the largest portion of the product. The distillate fraction thus obtained is a particularly desired product and the catalytic operating conditions are chosen so as to particularly maximize this product while still meeting desired product specifications, such as pour point etc. According to the instant invention, the product of the zeolite catalyzed upgrading step is distilled or separated to recover a naphtha fraction having an end point in the range of 350Ḟ to 400Ḟ F as overhead from a higher boiling distillate product fraction as bottoms boiling above about 350Ḟ F. The higher boiling distillate product fraction is then separated to recover a selected low freeze point kerosene like fraction boiling up to about 550Ḟ F as overhead from a higher boiling low pour point diesel oil as bottoms boiling above about 450Ḟ F and more usually comprising 550Ḟ F and higher boiling material. The gasoline boiling range fractions obtained as herein described are combined and used as such or blended with other available gasoline components into a gasoline pool. The diesel oil boiling range materials produced in the process combination above discussed may also be combined as desired. Of course, the amount produced will vary with the cut point selected in the process above 350Ḟ F. The following specific example is illustrative of the process combination of the invention as shown by the drawing without intending to be limiting on the scope thereof. That is the cut points between various fraction may be considerably altered depending upon which fraction it is desired to maximize. Gasoline product may be maximized by increasing the product end point from 350Ḟ F to 400Ḟ F. Jet fuel product may be restricted to boil within the range of 400Ḟ to 450Ḟ F or increased by boiling within the range of 350Ḟ to 550Ḟ F. Higher boiling fuel oil yields may similarly be altered by changing the initial boiling point. A synthetic, highly olefinic full range hydrocarbon charge, produced as by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from a gaseous mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen is condensed in a series of coolers to produce about 20,000 parts per day of light oil and decant oil which are both fed to a distillation system not shown. This distillation usually produces a light oil fraction having an end boiling point selected within the range of 350Ḟ to 400Ḟ F destined for use in a gasoline pool. One or more middle fractions such as a 350Ḟ F-650Ḟ F higher boiling distillate fraction and a 650Ḟ F-850Ḟ F heavy distillate fractiion may also be separated. The remainder, 850Ḟ F plus material constitutes about 2% of the feed, and is destined for use as a residual or bunker fuel, or as coking feed. In the process combination of this invention, a product fraction boiling in the range of 350Ḟ to 850Ḟ F is recovered and charged to the process of this invention by conduit 10. This product fraction comprises highly olefinic aliphatic compounds of carbon and hydrogen and constituting about 30% of the charge is fed to a catalytic hydrogenation operation in hydropretreater 12 along with hydrogen introduced by conduit 14. The hydrotreater 12 is charged with a hydrotreating catalyst 16 such as cobalt-molybdenum on alumina maintained as a fixed bed of catalyst and at a temperature in the range of about 550Ḟ-750Ḟ F; a pressure of about 300-1000 psig and a space velocity of about 1-10 LHSV. The hydrogenated product withdrawn by conduit 18 from zone 12 which now is substantially reduced or eliminated in olefin content and in oxygen content, and has had its lower boiling range materials slightly enriched because of the hydrotreating operation, is then separated in zone 20 to provide a 650Ḟ F minus fraction withdrawn overhead by conduit 22 and a 650Ḟ F plus fraction withdrawn as a bottoms stream by conduit 24. The overhead 650Ḟ F minus product stream in conduit 22 is then further separated in separation zone 26 as by distillation to recover in a specific embodiment of 350Ḟ F minus naphtha fraction by conduit 28. As mentioned above, the naphtha end point may be up to about 400Ḟ F. A distillate fuel oil fraction is withdrawn by conduit 30 and comprising material boiling above naphtha boiling material such as a (350Ḟ F plus) bottom stream. This 350Ḟ F plus or higher boiling bottom stream in conduit 30 is conveniently split, with about one half thereof recovered as diesel oil product by conduit 32 and the remaining 350Ḟ F plus or 400Ḟ F plus portion in conduit 34 is admixed with the 650Ḟ F plus bottom fraction in conduit 24 to form a broad boiling range mixture boiling in the range of about 350Ḟ or 400Ḟ F up to about 850Ḟ F. This broad boiling range mixture is passed to catalytic upgrading zone 38 by conduit 36. The catalyst 40 maintained in zone 38 is in a specific embodiment NiZSM-5 compounded with an alumina binder and disposed in zone 38 as a fixed catalyst bed 40. Hydrogen is introduced by conduit 42 to zone 38 and catalytic upgrading of the broad boiling range mixture is accomplished at a temperature in the range of 550Ḟ-800Ḟ F, a pressure in the range of 100-800 psig and a space velocity in the range of 0.5-5 LHSV. An upgraded wide boiling range product in conduit 44 is separated in zone 46 as by distillation to recover light gases removed by conduit 48, a liquid naphtha fraction with an end point within the range of 350Ḟ to 400Ḟ F removed by conduit 50 and a higher boiling bottoms fraction in conduit 52 which amounts to about 50-90% of the feed to the zeolite catalyst upgrading step. The higher boiling bottoms fraction is withdrawn by conduit 52 and further subjected to fractionation or separation in zone 54 under such conditions to recover as overhead by conduit 56 a high quality jet fuel initially boiling within the range of about 350Ḟ to 400Ḟ F and an end point of about 450Ḟ up to about 550Ḟ F with a freeze point below about -58Ḟ F. A diesel oil withdrawn by conduit 58 may have an initial boiling point within the range of 450Ḟ-550Ḟ F and an end point of about 850Ḟ F. In the specific example of the drawing, the jet fuel has an end point of about 550Ḟ F and the diesel fuel has an initial boiling point of about 550Ḟ F. The hydrocarbon feed charged to the process of this invention preferably has no nitrogen and/or sulfur impurities and is a product of Fischer-Tropsch upgrading of synthesis gas (H2 + CO) which has previously been purified. The process combination described herein differs from the more conventional petroleum combinations of hydrotreating and upgrading with zeolite catalysts because of feed compositions. When upgrading crude oil fractions, it is to be emphasized that because of the nitrogen content of the feed material it is essential that desulfurization be accomplished after a pour point reduction step in order that low molecular weight basic nitrogen compounds, such as ammonia, which would be formed during the desulfurization, will not contact the zeolite catalyst employed. In the process combination of this invention, it it to be noted that the hydrotreating precedes zeolite conversion for the purpose of converting olefins and oxygenates in the synthetic feed. This sequence is essential, because the synthetic feed in the instant process is highly olefinic and is high in oxygenates, particularly organic acids, that would other wise deactivate the zeolite catalyst. These adverse synthetic feed properties are a direct result of the fact that the instant charge stock is derived from a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. Having thus generally described the invention and specifically discussed a process arrangement going to the essence thereof, it is to be understood that no undue restrictions are to be imposed by reasons thereof except as defined by the following claims.

This is a great moisturizer for the body. It absorbs right in does not feel oily or greasy and lasts. I have tried a bit of it for hair, have not used it as a treatment in my hair, just as a serum. Have not used it on my face either so cannot attest to that. I like this better than olive oil for the body, less messy.

I bought one bottle after reading all the review here on MUA regarding different types of oil. I have wanted to incorporate oil into my skin care routine for sometime now but cannot be sure which one to choose. I have oily/combination acne-prone skin so I was afraid the oil would clog my pores and break me out.
After evaluating all the different options, I devided to try SAO because I have concerns regarding my undereye dark circles as well as acne scars on my face. I have not used it for long so I can only do an initial review and will update later accordingly.
I use it just around my eyes and on my lips. Sometimes I rub a few drops on my dry/damaged hair when it is still damp. I have not seen significant results under my eyes but then I suppose my dark circles are not very bad at the first place. I expect the result to showup slowly so i am not worried about it. However, I have noticed instant result for my rather pigmented lips. It hydrates my lips really well, especially after i seal it off with some Vesaline. And I noticed the next morning, my lips appear pinker than before.
Fortunately enough, the oil has not broke me out so far but I am very cautious when using it. I just started patting it on my acne scars really lightly and have not encountered any problem yet.
I also use a clean mascara applicator to apply it on my lashes. They appear to be a tiny bit longer and stronger. I will keep up and see.
I have not noticed any significant improvement for my hair but then it is very dry and damaged. I have switched to more nurishing conditioners so it is hard to say which product actually helps. I also use very little amount as i am afraid it will weight my hair down.
So far, for its price, the results are good,. I understand that it will take time for all the results to show. A bottle will last me a long time since a little goes a long way.

Love sweet almond oil for using in my hair. After conditioning, I use 4 to 5 drops on wet hair, then air dry. Keeps my hair moisturised and soft. I don't use on my face. Great carrier oil for essential oils for use on the body. Easily absorbed and leaves skin feeling pampered and soft.
This oil is amazing! I read online it could be used to help fade darkness on the lips and around the eyes. I have spent hundreds of dollars on eye products over the years and this is the first thing that has significantly lightened the area around my eyes and for only 5 dollars!. I have hereditary darker eyelids and under eye skin. My lips are also pigmented as well. I've been using this less than a month and my lips have lightened significantly and my eyes are almost the same color as the rest of my face. I didn't even get these results using 4% hydroquinone. I can now go without concealer. This also helps moisturize the eye area and its ok all over the face (at night). I will use this forever. I got this in the NOW brand from Whole Foods for 4.99 for I believe a 4 oz bottle.

I have the NOW brand of this and it is such a great all around moisturizer for the skin. It's particularly great for hands and cuticles. I've also used it on my face with zero break outs and my sun scorched sister uses it to help with her skin as well with great results. This, Jojoba and Rose Hip oil are my absolute favorites.

HG moisturizer for skin that is aging but still acne-prone, or sensitive and acne-prone, or aging and sensitive. Basically any skin type at all, I bet.
I am 37 and have seen a drastic improvement in my skin since using this. I've not had a single breakout of any import, the redness in my face has gone away, my skin is softer, and I think it's even helped reduce my undereye circles (bags and dark, both).
I've always used it at night only, because it is an oil, after all; I slather it over my face, neck, and decolletage. I rub any excess into my cuticles (and it helps there a ton, too). Part of the reason that I say "slather" is that both of the brands I have bought have had horrible dispensers; the oil is very thin, and it is packaged in a flip cap/squeeze type bottle. I'd probably be smart to buy a dropper bottle, but well... It's great too right after exfoliating or on top of renova/a chemical peel.
I've recently found another use for it during the day: I've mixed it with my homemade vitamin c serum and dab it on my skin. I lightly blot it, and then apply bb cream over it (which is also incredible). A little more bb in the eye area, mascara, tarte blush, and then loose powder on top, and skindinavia setting spray--voila. Sounds like a lot but takes five minutes max. Mega greatness. I would say this daytime use might not fly for really oily twenty year olds.
But I just wish that I had found it in my twenties, even just at night; I think that, even though it is an oil, it actually seems to help with the acne, and definitely improves skin tone and texture.

I bought NOW brand while in a natural health store. I was looking for a new moisturizer because nothing was working for me, so I decided to try something natural instead of packed with chemicals. I've been using it religiously for a month now my skin has a youthful healthy glow, flakes are going away, my acne is almost completely gone, and my nails are very strong. I like to use it from head to toe when I step out the shower. It absorbs well with my skin. I haven't tried using it on my hair yet, but I plan to. Great price compared to expensive moisturizers that don't work well. 100% pure almond oil, expeller-pressed, and hexane-free. I wish I discovered the power of this oil a long time ago!!!
Smells delicious, but I feel like it attracts bugs. Although, it could just be in my head.
After using this oil twice a day everyday, the condition of my face became red and inflamed, dry and flaky, and itchy. It is not enough to combat the harsh winter, unfortunately. I have switched to avocado oil and love it so much better. I guess I'll use the rest of my 16 oz bottle of almond oil for body massages.

I love this! I've been making the switch to more natural and organic products (in my health and beauty routine as well as my diet!) and my naturopath recommended using sweet almond oil as a body moisturizer. It's awesome! At first I thought it would be really greasy, but it's really not. It absorbs quickly, and you only need a little dab here and there. I bought a 4 oz. bottle for $4.99 cdn and it's probably going to last me a long time! It just feels like a really rich and creamy body moisturizer. I'm hooked. I don't use it on my face and probably won't because I'm scared of clogged pores, etc. but as a body moisturizer I totally love it. I love that it's 100% natural and organic and am sticking with this from now on.
UPDATE: When I became pregnant, my skin was super dry and this just wasn't cutting it as a moisturizer. My skin was so itchy. I switched to coconut oil as a body moisturizer but now that winter is here, I find that's also not moisturizing enough. My search continues!
I'm really disappointed in this product. I've been trying to use more natural products on my skin (especially face), but this one just didn't work for me. My skin has been clear for months until I used this product and then I started getting whiteheads! It did feel good on my skin and it soaked in well, but it made my makeup slide off a lot quicker than it normally would. Looks like I'll be going back to my Alba Jasmine & Vitamin E Moisturizer!

Read MoreProposed KSRA Bylaws Changes
When the Board of Directors met in September, Marcie Craig Post, IRA's Executive Director, made a presentation to the Board about the roles and responsibilities of a Board of Directors. After the presentation, the Board broke into small groups to discuss the implications of this presentation for KSRA. A subsequent vote authorized the work on a new set of Bylaws for the Keystone State Reading Association.
Over the past several months, Jane Helman and I, with consultations from Eleanor Gensemer and others in KSRA and in discussions with Marcie Craig Post and utilizing the template provided by IRA, developed the proposed bylaws which are attached. Our goal was to develop a fiscally responsible organizational structure that will enable KSRA to function effectively and efficiently as we face the challenges of both the present and future, while maintaining what has made our organization a strong and vibrant one. We are especially proud of the close working relationship between our local councils and the state organization and are committed to maintaining this while changing our governing structure.
Though time is short, we hope you will take a few minutes to look at the following documents prior to Saturday's meeting. On Saturday, January 24, we will present more background information and there will be much time for small group and whole group discussion. Our current bylaws require that proposed changes in the bylaws be approved by a vote of ⅔ of the Board of Directors at two consecutive meetings of the Board. Ideally, if we are to change our current governing structure, it would be helpful to have the new bylaws approved by the start of our next fiscal year, July 1, 2015.
The following documents are included for your study of the proposed new bylaws:
- An annotated copy of the proposed bylaws providing some explanation and rationale.
- A document highlighting the major differences between the current bylaws and the proposed bylaws.
- A document listing the policies and procedures that should be adopted in the coming year to implement the proposed bylaws, if approved.
We look forward to sharing this with you on Saturday. If you should have any questions or comments that you would like to share prior to that meeting, please feel free to contact Eleanor, Jane, Julie, or myself.

KSRA Is Looking for Some Great Teaching Ideas
Have you ever visited the website www.TeachersPayTeachers.com? Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) is a website that offers free or cheap classroom resources for K-12 teachers such as: PowerPoints, anchor charts, lesson plans, and center activities. Teachers can find resources for any grade and any subject (e.g., math, science, and social studies) but the English Language Arts category is the largest with double the resources.
KSRA is exploring this concept for our Educational Resource Committee for several reasons. First, one of our main goals for KSRA is to offer effective and relevant professional development. TpT can provide a platform for KSRA to support teachers as they look for resources to improve their instruction. Second, KSRA has 1,600 members who could provide innovative ideas for teaching reading, writing, speaking, and listening. If everyone would donate a successful lesson plan, we could populate the account quickly. Third, TpT can serve as an alternative method for providing a service that would generate income that KSRA could use to fund international advocacy campaigns, scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, fund annual conferences, and help keep membership costs low.
TpT offers KSRA a direct link to support classroom teachers and reading specialists as they plan, teach, and assess students' literacy! However, we need your ideas and resources. If you have created a successful lesson, PowerPoint, or worksheet that supports authentic reading, writing, speaking, and listening, we need to hear from you. At the same time, if you are a student, substitute teacher, or retired teacher who would be willing to work with other classroom teachers to create materials, we need to hear from you. Please do not pass up this opportunity to support teachers and reading specialists. Contact Andy Morrison email@example.com with suggestions and materials.

Read MoreImportant Information Regarding Reading Specialist Certification in PA
We are contacting you regarding a recent issue that has come to our attention about an abrupt decision by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to include the Reading Specialist Certificate to the Add On By Testing certificates. An email was sent from the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Division of Professional Education and Teacher Quality dated November 5, 2014 regarding "add on by testing" to the certificates that can be added on through testing. Currently, the Pennsylvania Department of Education is trying to employ a short cut to an academic certification program rather than getting a reading specialist degree through a Master's program.
We are requesting all members of KSRA, PRTE, educators, colleges, and universities throughout Pennsylvania to send a letter this week to Dr. Carolyn Dumaresq, acting Secretary of Education. To make this process easier, several KSRA committees (Governmental Relations, PRTE, and Technology) have drafted a letter, which you can copy and send. A sample letter which you can adapt, along with copies of two of the letter that KSRA are sending are linked here:
- Sample Letter to PDE- Please be sure to replace bolded text with your own words, as well as delete instructions at the top of the page.
- KSRA's Letter to PDE
- KSRA Governmental Relations Committee Letter to PDE
KSRA's voice of 1,600 educators will be heard clearer and stronger if we all follow the same procedure and use the same language. The Governmental Relations Committee has established the current strategy:
Round One:
- Send alert to KSRA and PRTE
- KSRA President and Governmental Relations Chair send letters to PDE stating concerns and requesting reversal of policy.
- Post information on KSRA website and through social media.
- Request HEADS of literacy organizations (PRTE, Deans, etc) send letters.
- Request individual members of literacy organizations send letters.
- If PDE response is positive, process ends. If not, go on to round two.
Round Two:
- Request meeting with PDE.
- Postcard campaign to PDE.
Round Three
Prepare to contact your state governmental officials. Contact information is available at www.legis.state.pa.us under Find Your Legislator.
Please feel free to share this information with all the teachers, school administrators, and parents of students who have received reading support. Together we will continue to provide support to educators across PA and provide guidance for how to share our concern.
Thank you for your support,
Julie B. Wise, President, KSRA
Millie Henning, Chair, Governmental Relations, KSRA

Do you mean that your Srackangast's are related to Philip Schreckengast? I have not found a connection to this family. The information I had was found to be untrue through census records that put people in two different places at the same time. Where does your family fit into the Srackangast line? Ours starts with Daniel and Mary Snider Srackangast married in 1795 in Virginia. AS
