When buildings are no longer limited to manufactured products, will buildings feel less architectural and more atmospheric? The "state of the shelf," a familiar term among product manufacturers, refers to constraints set by what materials are available on the market. Electronics makers, for example, often innovate by assembling readily available components in novel ways.If ever there were an industry defined by the state of the shelf, it's construction. Architects and builders rely on what can be specified from product catalogs and rarely have an opportunity to think—or build—outside the box. Hence, the modernist mantra "form follows function" really should have been "form follows industry." Mies was influenced more by the industrial market of plate glass and wide-flange steel than by anything else. True innovation will alter the entire design and construction process so that we'll no longer think of form and matter separately. As I wrote back in 2002, in Why the Future of Architecture Doesn't Need Us, nanotechnology, for example, eventually could allow designers to specify performance independently of product choices: "Standard, irreducible components, such as the 2 X 4, the brick, steel shapes, nails and screws, will be replaced by microscopic parts. Form, texture, color, and strength would be defined at the cellular level. Orthogonal geometry, demanded for efficiency by standard frame construction, could disappear altogether."The "state of the shelf" will no longer matter, because there won't be a shelf.

Maybe limited by the time of his time, not the imagination; hindsight is 20-20. The language of a "nanobot" would be whatever it is programmed to do, and GIGO (garbage in garbage out); i.e. it depends on how well it is programed by the architect. Thus, the nature of these materials is no different than the nature of materials Wright talked about; it's just at a different scale. Can they morph/conglomerate into a variety of different shapes? Yes, but this is within the rules given to it by the designer. If were talking about the material taking shapes it intuits by itself then we're talking about artificial intelligence and mass customization when the customizer is the entity in itself, which is an intriguing yet I'm afraid very far off (sci-fi) proposition; and the idea of a material intuiting under a very large set of given (designed, programmed) parameters/rules is very different than a material creating it's own rules even based on certain programmed/designed parameters. The later I'm afraid could have serious unintended consequences unless the possible derivations are contained within a known field of safe range of possible permutations; but how might we know what is possible until the entire field of possibilities is analyzed, and how they do correlate with other materials; can they synthesize and become tertiary and thus infinitely numerous in variety; herein lies the real danger.
See the article at my link ("Why the Future of Architecture Doesn't Need Us"). Wright's concepts were inspired but limited by the imagination of his time. On the one hand, he defined "organic architecture" as "building the way nature builds," which is exactly how nanotechnology works--assembling coded material at the cellular scale, just like genetic evolution. On the other hand, Wright also felt that architecture should stem from the inherent "nature" of its materials: "Each material speaks a language of its own." But what is the "language" of a nanobot? Miscroscopic materials have no visible vocabulary. I don't know if Wright would have been excited or deeply troubled by today's emerging techniques.
I believe Wright was on to this years ago when he said that "form and function are one." The day when we have a nanotechnology derived super-material that can solve all or most of our problems, I'm afraid, is a long way away. Until then optimizing the off-the-shelf kit-of-parts is the best way to proceed.
I wish you could be right on this. Belles Architecture in Rockford IL recently worked on an interior remodeling in a 100 year old, 13 story building. ALL the existing door knobs were emblazoned with the initials of the building. On a recent trip to Chicago, seen at http://www.bellesarchiecture.com we observed the initials of the architect on the facade at the Sullivan center. We could only hope to be so bold with our clients. Unfortunately, I fear the public is wanting to purchase entire buildings out of the catalogs (hence the any city USA look). The motivation, I think, is time. As a society we simply don't make the time to do custom work-everything must be from the shelf.
Lance your right on. Paulo Soleri addressed a seminar for architects in the mid 1960"s where he challenged students to get rid of the sweet's catalogues & go to your local lumber yard. hardware store. brickyard etc. to get your inspiration from basic materials. He followed the sermon with pictures of Arcosanti in Scottsdale where he used starched denim over site cut poplar trees to form his beautiful bell studio. I think this is the time for architects to shine, if they can get back to basics, think innovative & detail the hell out every possibility. I coined the phrase 'piano solution' several years ago when I discussed architects ; approach to a perfect design solution. The piano has a limited repeated octave but we haven't seen the last beautiful song in over thousands of years. I've also coined the phrase Architects...Poets of the built environment' Lets start playing the part. Curtis L Biggar Architect.CGP

Kate Davies, designer of 2008's favorite knitting pattern, Owls was disappointed to discover that her design was stolen by Red Herring and sold at UK Department store Debenhams.
Here's what Kate has to say:
When one unpacks this legal nitty-gritty, the locus of my owl sweater's "originality" might not seem all that substantial. But in the end it is these small things – the cable placement, the circular yoke, and the proportionate cable size – that make the sweater so striking that it is now immediately recognisable. I don't think it would be going too far to say that my design is so popular that it has become, in some respects, iconic.

There was something anomalous about the third generation iPad. It had that shiny new Retina Display, but Anomaly: Warzone Earth didn't run at Retina resolution on there! Earth was ready to go to war over this cruel misdeed.
Well, fret no longer, earthlings! 11 bit Studios just released an update for Anomaly: Warzone Earth HD to make it compatible with the iPad Retina Display, thus correcting a situation that 11 bit Studios are quoted as saying is "not very good at all." Yes, aliens can now be conspired against, and their towers properly offensed in stunning high resolution!
Now, one may think "So, the game has twice the resolution, that means the game's going to be twice the price, right?" Wrong, rhetorical person! The game is now in fact much cheaper, as the price is now half off: $1.99 for the HD version which is universal, and $0.99 for the iPhone/iPod touch version. Did that version get anything new? No. Will saving an extra dollar fill that gaping hole caused by the lack of an iPad in one's life? Possibly! The Retina Display update is available now.

OK, so when I tell people I practice Nia, 95 percent of the time, their response is in some form of a question, like "Huh, what's Nia?" or sometimes just a plain "What?" and I have to repeat myself and spell it. Then I have to explain what Nia is, and it's really hard to do that. So, I just encourage people to try it and see and feel for themselves.
I wonder why they never changed the name? I mean everyone knows Zumba by now and what that is. I suppose in the past, yoga had the same problem, so maybe it's a matter of time and Nia will become a household name. I hold faith.

Should You Text Him? A Flowchart Makes The Decision For You [PHOTO]
There was once a movie/book entitled 'He's Just Not That Into You.' This movie/book taught girls everywhere many valuable lessons:
if he's not calling – he's just not that into you,
if he's not asking you out – he's just not that into you,
most important rule for 21st century dating babes everywhere:
if he's not texting you – he's just not that into you.
5 Essential Tips To Get Over Your Ex – For Good
For the hour after the female population saw this movie, girls everywhere thought they had finally figured it out. Will I call him? No way. Will I ask him out? Over Carrie Bradshaw's dead body! Will I text him? Sorry I'm too busy blasting Beyonce's "Single Ladies" to even have time for that.
Get 'A Blind Date On Every Flight'
But then Friday night hit. All of the valuable lessons we learned from this epic movie and from love gurus like Patti Stanger were suddenly thrown out the window. I mean maybe he's not texting me because his phone is dead…or he lost my number…or he thinks I don't like him because I haven't texted him. Once the liquor and the sight of our friends with boyfriends kicked in, we were dunzo. Texting engaged.
Key To Dating Is Seeing 3 Men At A Time Says Matchmaker Patti Stanger [AUDIO]
Let's fast forward to the next morning: regret, regret, regret. He didn't text back?! He sent me a one word answer?! You obviously shouldn't have texted him and the rational part of your brain always knew this.
To avoid ever making these dating mistakes again commit this epic flowchart to memory. Follow the simple yes or no answers and voila! Your texting destiny has been answered. Or if that doesn't work and you know for sure you shouldn't text that guy you're obsessing over, try our favorite trick of changing his name in your phone to something like: Don't Text You Will Regret This.

Russia Builds a New Missile, For Us!
Apparently, our dear allies in Russia are are openly treating us as military foes. They are rolling out a brand-new ICBM that can, they say, get through any missile defense system. They're not even particularly being coy about whose missile defense system these missiles could penetrate (even though there's only one country even remotely close to having such a thing). They're pretty much slapping their enlarged ballistic missiles on the table and naming us as the bad guys here.
Russia's been moving back to totalitarianism for at least a decade (or, starting whenever Vladimir Putin took office. You pick) and this new announcement looks just like the old Soviet Union, less a few satellite states who have decided that they like freedom more than the Russian boot on their necks.
Come to think of it, that's probably why Russia is so miffed. It cannot sit well to watch your former slaves prosper, even a little, while your country slowly becomes poorer, older, and more corrupt. Much better to have someone to whip when things are bad than try to lift yourself out of the hole you've dug. When more Eastern European nations get missile defense systems up and running, it'll be that much more difficult for Russia to bully them. They need those missiles to project their power because they have nothing else.

Sediment Filters Silt or sediment larger then 5 micron can create a breeding ground for bacteria to sneak past your UV and contaminate your water. All UV systems should use no larger then 5 micron nominal filters to remove larger sediment from the water that could cause problems for your UV. Smaller sizes are available for people with silt or high turbidity.
Solenoid Valves Solenoid valves are an important add on for any UV system. If you lose power or your lamp fails, you have no way to protect your water from bacteria getting in. With a solenoid, you get that protection! If the system were to stop working due to the lamp needing replacement or water quality, even power loss, this solenoid will shut and prevent untreated water from getting past the UV.
Flow Restrictors Flow restrictors are a great additional for any application that requires an exact flow rate to ensure a desired level of disinfection. With a flow restrictor in place you will limit the maximum flow through the UV to the desired rate, keeping your dosage at the desired level. These can be added to any UV system to ensure you never flow too much water through the system that could compromise the quality of your water. Pro models come pre-equipped with this and do not require it to be added.
Temperature Management Systems As with any light bulb used, heat is produced. When you use a UV light to disinfect your water, it can heat the water making your cold water warmer and may interfere with Plus model systems that have UV sensors. Adding a temperature management system or "CoolTouch" to your UV will significantly reduce the water temperature. All Pro series systems come with a CoolTouch already installed.
Remote COMMcenter Whether you are a testing lab or a business who needs to monitor the dosage in your water at any moment, the remote alarm COMMcenter is the product for you. This powerful tool will allow you monitor dosage, choose flow rate to monitor non-nsf units, computer tracking and much more.

Im 5'7 and 135lb. My first board was a 151 based on internet calculator and the fact it was the size of the $70 craigslist board I happened to find. Now I ride 149cm. Big boards are clumsy, no?
If it's your first board, it doesn't really matter. If you plan on keeping it for a long time (ie. no money to upgrade), I think you should go smaller. |

Take advantage of some New Year's Eve party to gain 10 lbs and fatten yourself up.
Honestly, 2cm doesn't matter to a beginner. The extra length just adds a tinge more stability to your ride. Use that stability to bomb past speed control and show em who's boss. You may want to shorten up if you plan on doing park, but your stepdad should just get you a new board at that stage of your progression. |

You may not have noticed lately, but video rental stores seem to have gone the way of the elevator attendant and the telegraph repairman. Technology has been marching on, and consumers now have myriad other options in the marketplace to get instant access to the products and services once wholly the domain of the video store. With the Internet and the Red Boxes out there, why wouldn't people change their buying habits?
Just today my girlfriend and I wanted to rent a movie for the evening, and she did something I didn't know was possible. She opened up her smartphone, selected a movie from a list and reserved it for us at the local video-rental vending machine—conveniently located in the parking lot of a store we were going to anyway. It was easy, and it only took a minute to get what we wanted. It was cool, it was progress, and things just like that have changed an entire small segment of our economy.
As they usually do, my thoughts turned to EMS and how something like that might work for us. Not for renting videos, of course, because people (usually) don't call 9-1-1 to have a video rental delivered. Instead, I wondered how technology and a network like this could work to revolutionize our industry. On the streets, how could we use something like this to usher in our inevitable change to EMS 2.0?
And I think I have just that sort of idea.
Patient Refusals
We EMS folk don't have a way to not take people to the hospital very well, and I think some ideas from the change in tech and the video rental revolution could help. I believe EMS needs a better way to have people refuse care and transport from us as I believe the Against Medical Advice (AMA) refusal of care is the single stickiest legal issue facing EMS today.
The case-law libraries are full of examples of law suits for AMA refusals-gone wrong, and it's time to fix the myriad loose procedures that have developed in the absence of a real system.
Contemporary EMS has no real, legal form of treating and releasing patients. I don't really think there's any U.S. jurisdiction in which EMS can legally treat and release. As I've written before, Medicare has decreed that the EMS fee schedule is a "transport benefit," and they don't pay us to medically take care of people, we just do.
The AMA refusal is the closest thing we have to treating and releasing someone. But in all reality, it's just a piece of paper that serves to weakly protect EMS crews and their medical director from being sued when they don't kidnap someone who encounters EMS yet doesn't wish transport. The whole system relies on the patient saying, "No, I don't want to be cared for by you, and I'm signing this piece of paper to say it was my decision that I didn't want to be cared for."
If the patient doesn't want the full gamut of EMS care and transport, they sign that it was their choice to not go to the emergency department (ED) against the wishes of the EMS staff and medical establishment who legally cannot recommend anything other than transport to an ED, even when it's clearly not needed, or more commonly, not the optimal healthcare pathway for the patient.
EMS refusals need to meet a few requirements to be more than just shoddily written pieces of paper. Patients have the right to be fully informed of the potential consequences of their decision. But providers need to inform the patient that the EMS crew may not know of all the potential consequences.
Patients must also know that it's not the provider's opinion that they not go to the hospital. Legally, we can't tell someone that, even when it's obvious a patient shouldn't be transported by ambulance to a fully-equipped ED for their torn hangnail at 3 a.m.
Patients have the right to receive enough information to give "informed consent" about their medical care. They also have the right to be taken to the ED by EMS, no matter what. Although it's never good practice for any provider to refuse to take a patient to the ED after a call for service, what if we could give them a better option when it was appropriate?
The Idea
The technology exists to improve the EMS refusal process. I call it the "enhanced refusal process." Although it's not a true EMS treat-and-release procedure, I believe it's an idea EMS agencies could adopt in the current legal environment. I also think it could work today without a fundamental change in the laws governing what we do. EMS providers have the tools available at present to make this work, and I think we should.
The enhanced refusal process could be used for patients who access and accept EMS care from a paramedic or EMT and are given a thorough physical assessment. This would be for cases in which providers have used the full gamut of EMS diagnostic tools as appropriate. Then, with criteria established by the service's medical director (and probably a contact to online medical control until the kinks are worked out), the EMS crew could offer alternative options to the patient, in addition to the standard transport to the ED (if, of course, it was allowed in that state).
EMS crews would then forward their assessment information to those alternative treatment options, such as a clinic or urgent care center. They could possibly even schedule a cab or medivan-transport for the patient if needed. A system like this would necessitate EMS agencies working with their local medical establishment to identify the additional pathways for care, such as urgent care facilities and primary-care physicians who would accept EMS referrals and see patients in a timely fashion. Agencies should tailor their referral options to their local healthcare marketplace.
In my own practice, I've occasionally done something similar to this for years by informing patients with minor medical conditions about the local healthcare options if they refuse EMS care and transport. I let them know their options for care if they don't want to go to the ED. But the enhanced refusal process would formalize this process by ensuring a well-documented and proper patient assessment. The patient would obtain a document detailing the EMS providers' assessments for the purposes of providing informed consent, and they would be given clear options to make their own decisions for their treatment pathway under the guidance of EMS professionals and medical direction.
Here's why I believe this will work. The patient has to choose to enter the program, and the EMS professional has to choose to allow the patient to enter the program. At no time would a service employing the enhanced refusal process ever deny care or transport to an ED when it's legally and ethically appropriate.
Patients who call 9-1-1 have the right to be transported to an ED in nearly every jurisdiction and will always be transported to an ED if it is appropriate or the patient requests it.
For the patient to access the alternative healthcare pathways that the enhanced refusal process offers, they would have to meet criteria established by the service medical director, be given the information to provide informed consent, be of sound mind and able to make rational decisions and have willingly entered the program.
Patients would still have to agree to the same risks of and meet the criteria for the present AMA refusal process. They would have the option to seek medical care or call 9-1-1 again if needed or desired.
In a strictly legal sense, unless the state laws change, EMS will be forced to only recommend transport to an ED, but the enhanced refusal process will provide a second-best option to offer the patient. It allows EMS to serve as a guide to the local healthcare system and help patients navigate their options for care.
Technology can be employed to provide referral information to the receiving alternative pathway, such as transporting a non-acute 12-lead ECG or point-of-care lab test. The patient might directly deliver their chart to the facility, or EMS may electronically transmit it.
The Benefits
I believe this idea would reduce EMS liability by documenting that we fully instructed and attempted to assist the patient in accessing physician-level medical care after an activation of EMS. Patients who seek alternative care pathways under this program would be receiving medical care and could be referred back to the emergency healthcare system by the healthcare professional that sees them through an EMS refusal if deemed necessary, or more likely could be given appropriate and more cost-effective care.
As I've stated before, the "ambulance to ED" method for patient access to primary care is the single most cost-inefficient method of primary care delivery. I believe EMS can be a major force in improving access to primary care for a vast segment of the population.
We need to step into the roles that patients are asking us to play and expand our tool kit to help our communities in meaningful ways. With the enhanced refusal process, we can decrease our legal exposure and overall healthcare costs in a meaningful way. We can provide our patients with better options for accessing healthcare.
Sounds like a solid idea to me. What do you think?

I'll tell you something else I did right in my kitchen, and that's my appliance pantry. It houses my mixer so I walk over there, I make my cake, and I shut the thing off. If I don't have time to wash everything, I just shut those doors and nobody knows. My coffee machine is there...my food processor...my waffle iron. I use that waffle iron a lot. You can have two waffles going at one time. And I have a fabulous place where I keep all my baking things my measuring cups, my mixing bowls, my flour, my sugar, my baking powder, my baking soda. Everything's right there so I don't have to go hunting for it.
Because so many people come in and touch my stuff they'll borrow it for a photo shoot things always go missing. That's what happened with my little round cutting board that my daddy gave me when I was 18. When I first got married, I came over to see Mama and Daddy, and I said, 'Oh, I don't have a cutting board.' And he reached over now, all my mother had was that one little round cutting board and he took it off Mama's counter and said, 'Now you have one, darling.' And Mama said, 'Don't give her my only cutting board, Earl!' And he said, 'No, it's hers.' I have moved 37 times, but I have kept that cutting board with me. Now, with all the filming going on in my house, I have no idea where things go, and one day I was out in the garage going through a box that they were getting ready to take to Goodwill and there was my cutting board! You know, I haven't seen my daddy since I was 19, because he died at 40. I took some paper and a Magic Marker, and I taped this message on it: 'If you touch this, your % is grass, and I will track you down.' There aren't many things that can get me riled up, but believe me, I'm very protective of the few little things that I've got that connect me to my roots.

Can I run more than one Cyc image on a single machine?
You can run multiple Cyc images on a single machine, assuming it has sufficient resources, by changing the base port for (at least) one of the images. For instance, you can have one Cyc image running on base port 3600 (the default) and another on port 3620. To access the first image, point your browser to YOURMACHINENAME::3602/cgi-bin/cg?cb-start; for the second, hit YOURMACHINENAME:3622/cgi-bin/cg?cb-start. The base port value (and the per-service offset values) are configured in the init/parameters.lisp file. more ... about Can I run more than one Cyc image on a single machine?

Inside the Minds of Gotham City's 'Crazy' Serial Killers
- Thursday July 21, 2011
Serial killers simultaneously frighten and fascinate, and comic book fans are no strangers to stranglers and other murderous fiends. Batman's notorious rogues' gallery boasts multiple serial murderers among its members. While some of these fictional characters reflect real-life aspects of serial murder, others perpetuate long-standing misconceptions.

I just spent thousands of dollars this year and have hardly used the gear. When I do its for candids or vacations. I wonder if I am wasting the money and should sell it to downgrade to something more enthusiast level and cheaper. Also it's just so much to lug around. Just not sure and wanted some opinions.
Oh my... This makes me feel even more bad about early adopters.
I have never heard of the selling company AJ Richies. Anyone have any experience with them?
Tried to get one, Mr. AJ called (blocked number) and told me the menus are not in English, the build quality is less and I should buy the USA version (with warranty). After looking at some reviews and the thought of a non-returnable 2nd rate/badly refurb'ed Mk3 I told Mr. AJ to cancel my order.
If anyone gets one, I'd love to know how it worked out.

MyCalendar Mobile is a very simple app. It's the iOS version of the popular Facebook app that reminds users of their friends' birthday. That's the sole purpose behind MyCalendar Mobile but for those who have plenty of birthdays to keep track of, it could prove quite useful.
The app provides a few different ways to import birthdays. It's possible to add them manually but the easiest method is either through using Facebook. It's possible to get friends to add themselves through a link you send them, but I found this a little awkward and not as streamlined as using Facebook.
Once collated, the calendar page is filled with birthdays. It's immediately obvious what days include someone's birthday with an icon highlighting just how many people are celebrating on one day. Tap the relevant date and the name of the person, a picture if available and the means in which to contact them, is displayed. Tap their name and it's easy to either message them on Facebook or text them to wish them happy birthday. There's no email or Twitter support though, unfortunately.
Further functionality comes from the reminder feature which informs users ahead of time when it's a friend's birthday. It's possible to adjust how far ahead of time, for instance, if a present needs to be arranged, as well as an exact time of day to implement such reminders. It's all pretty simple but it suits the nature of the app.
MyCalendar Mobile isn't the most feature rich of apps by a long shot. It's not even possible to transfer dates between the iOS Calendar app. However, for those users with plenty of birthdays to remember, it could save them some awkwardness and embarrassment when they forget an occasion, which is probably worth the $0.99 asking price in itself.

Vin Scelsa is still on vacation, but before he left, he unearthed another episode of "Idiot's Delight"® that he felt deserved a second listen. Vin says he was quite pleased with the flow and variety of this show, which first aired on January 12, 2013.
Tonight at 8, flashing back one year ago, Vin notes Rich Conaty's 40th anniversary of "The Big Broadcast" on WFUV and also explores Yo La Tengo's then-new album Fade. "I also imagine what it might be like if mid-1970s Mick Jagger morphed into Leonard Cohen from that same era," says Vin. "Plus, any show that includes Mariachi El Bronx and Andy Williams deserves on encore replay, doncha' think?"
That's Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight"®, Saturdays from 8-10 p.m. on 90.7FM, also streaming online.
Did you know that if you happen to miss tonight's show, you can find "Idiot's Delight"® in the FUV archives for two weeks after broadcast?

So it sounds like you're looking for Action series, Shounen Adventure, and on the side, High School Slice of life comedies....
For Action, try 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex': Action Sci-Fi Cyberpunk drama. A Major award winner in Japan, and easily one of the best Anime series to come out in the past decade... Collection sets for both seasons have been release, and is about to be re-released in a economy collection set for first season.
Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex
Another Action Adult drama is 'Gankutsuou' the Studio GONZO Sci-Fi remake of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' story. Another Major award winner, and easily the best Sci-Fi series ever produced by Studio GONZO. This original GENEON USA release has been rescued and re-released by FUNimation in a much more affordable thin-pack release...
The Official Count of Monte Cristo: Gankutsuou Anime Site from FUNimation Productions
Now 'Shounen Adventure' which is dominated by series based on the 'Shounen Jump' published manga series), besides the long running indeterminate length series (e.g. 'Bleach', 'Naruto' and 'One Piece'), the shorter length series have either incomplete stories, or commit the common sin of catching up with the Manga series that they were based on, and die of filler episodes. 'Air Gear' was the last 'shounen' series I've seen. it has a decent story, (but does end with a incomplete story)
Air Gear || Anime Website from FUNimation
And be forewarned that 'Clannad' is based on a dating-sim console game. If you're into dating-sim stories, 'Clannad' is a good execution of one, but IMHO, 'Kanon' is still the best, and the most famous of the lot...

A swab-sampling method was developed for cleaning validation of a residual active pharmaceutical ingredient in samples collected after cleaning
Swabbing The Swab Concept
Sponsored Links
I.V. Soma Raju
Cross contamination is the real concern of the cleaning and cleaning validation, need to be addressed for the effectiveness of the procedure being used. The effectiveness of cleaning shall be proven using appropriate sampling techniques, analytical methods and the evaluation of potential contamination .
Of course any of the procedure shall be validated against to its intended application. Several questions need to be addressed before validating the cleaning process and also it is necessary to think that the objective of cleaning process shall be considered the whole activities of the application in terms of objective, activities and the conclusion. While making the conclusion it shall be reviewed for any inherence associated obviously . In the process of thinking about the possible inherences of analytical methods, had a look on how the same sample can allow the different assessments based on the procedures adopted which is the sprout for this article .
Before going to the actual chapter ,recap of the basic facts of the concept. As we know there are two types of samplings are involved in the evaluation of cleaning process that have been found acceptable. The most desirable is the direct method of sampling the surface of the equipment(Swab) according to FDA's clean pot concept. Another method is the use of rinse solutions.
Swab sampling is a crucial step in sample preparation. It is not possible to obtain as such sample like rinse samples, it involves some level of dilution to collect and prepare the swab sample to make convenient for the analysis. The actual swab sample is the contaminant on the specified surface. But it is not possible to analyze the contaminant from the surface directly. It is to be extracted using the best possible and practical ways. Generally 10 fold dilution of swab sample is essential and is evident when we observe the procedure.
Procedure :
- Pre-treat the swabs in the sample solvent, and squeeze the swabs
- Swab the specified surface in an uni-direction firmly to cover the entire area.
- put the swab in to a test tube and add10 ml of sample solvent (extractable solvent) and sonicate to extract the residue by sonication. (Firms will choose different folds to dilute , generally 10 to 30 )
- Filter the extract sample and analyze the sample using the respective analytical method.
All these days we are considering that the swab technique is invasive in terms of sampling but not other ways, but It has been observed from the general practices of evaluation of contamination from swab samples due to the LOQ of the analytical method used .
Let us discuss the most common practices in the industry and how they are effecting from the actual scenario in making wrong diversions due to the perception of the analytical procedure with out consideration of method's performance level and the practices adopted.(Scope of the article)
Giving the platform to think over the consequences with a possible cases and their risk assessment to explain how the same sample will allow the different assessments and the conclusion for better possible ways based on the evaluation procedures adopted and analytical techniques involved.
Practice- 1: Practice of multiplying the test results with respective to the dilutions made to the swab sample while calculating the content of residue .
Calculation: Au
Content of residue in ppm = ---------------------- x C x 10
As x recovery factor
Where Au and As are responses of sample and standard solution respectively and C is the concentration of standard solution in ppm and 10 is the dilution factor of swab sample.
Weight of standard (g) x 10ml x 1000000
C (ppm) = -------------------------------------------------------------
100 (stock dilutionin ml)x 100ml (std dilution in ml)
Details of the swab sample and the methods are:
Method's Limit of detection is 0.5 ppm
Method Range is 1.5 ppm (LOQ) to 30 ppm
Example : The result of different samples : for sample 1 : not detected,
sample 2 : 0.6 ppm
for sample 3 : 18 ppm
Other parameters: As appropriate based on the analytical technique.
Inference of practice-1
Evaluation |
Sample-1 (Result: Not detected) |
Sample-2 (Result: 0.6ppm( below LOQ of the method LOQ=1.5 ppm)) |
Sample-3 (Result: 1.8 ppm) |
Even though the swab result is not detected , it is possible the actual contamination can be 5PPm, because the level of contamination from the swab sample will be measured as 0.5 ppm (below LOD of the method) instead of 5ppm due to the inherence of the sample 10 folds dilution), obviously the result will be not detected . |
Even though the swab result is 0.6ppm ,it is possible the actual contamination can be 6 ppm, because the level of contamination from the swab sample will be measured as 0.6 ppm ( below LOQ of the method) instead of 6 ppm due to the inherence of the sample (10 folds dilution)preparation, obviously the result will be error one from the actual and is made the sample as below LOQ level while measuring . |
Though the level of contamination from this swab sample will be measured as 1.8 ppm ( above the LOQ) due to the inherence of the sample (10 folds dilution) , The reproducibility of the results may accurate , because the practice of multiplying the results as per the sample dilution will not be effected when the measurements (concentrations)are found with in the range of method . |
Risk assessment |
From the evaluation of Case-1 it is evident that the approach of multiplying the swab results according to the dilutions made for the swab samples is not recommended and is to be noticed , that it is justifiable like the swab samples -3 only (when the level of contamination is with in the range even after 10 folds dilution) and it could not be practical to decide the accuracy of the result based on the level of contaminants rather than their potential. |
Recommen- dation |
Shall not be adopted |
Practice -2 : Practice of injecting more quantity of sample than the standard to compensate the dilution with respective to the dilution of swab preparation .
Standard preparation : 10 ppm solution of respective analyte (contaminant)
Collection of swab solution : Swab the surface on a predetermined sampling point using swab stick and immediately transfer the swab in to a test tube and add 10 ml of solvent (using pipette) and sonicate for about 2 minutes
Instrument conditions :
Injection volume of standard: 5 µl
Injection volume of swab sample: 50 µl
Other parameters: As appropriate based on the analytical technique.
In case of TLC methods : by visual observation of intensities only.
Incase of HPLC,GC , TOC and any other:
Calculate the content of residue in ppm taken by the formula
Content (ppm) = --------------------------- x C
As x recovery factor
Where Au and As are the responces of sample and standard solution respectively and C is the concentration of standard solution in ppm
Weight of standard (g) x 10ml x 1000000
C (ppm) = -------------------------------------------------------------
100 (stock dilutionin ml)x 100ml (std dilution in ml)
Inference of practice -2
Evaluation |
When we inject sample 50µl(10 times higher than the standard(if standard injection volume is 5µl ) the responses of both will be similar, since the correction of the sample dilution was made inherently (physically) which will allow the exactness to the real scenario(actual results ) . |
Risk assessment |
It is not possible with all type of techniques ( like UV, titremetry), possible like GC,,HPLC,TLC where the injection volumes involved in the method. Though needs to evaluate the impact on result considering the similarities between standard and sample peak shape(controlling peak symetry and correlation of intensities (in case of tlc) etc . |
Recommendation |
Shall be adopted for the analytical techniques having provision of injecting the samples in a quantitative manner assuring the validated methods. |
Practice-3 : Standard addition method influencing the requirement of method 's range & recovery .
Detailed below giving a typical example to interpret the case to pursue in a practical approach of this kind of practice.
Standard preparation : Weigh accurately about 10 mg of standard substance in a 100 ml of volumetric flask. Dissolve and dilute to volume with methanol (stock). Further dilute 10.0 ml of this solution to 100 ml with methanol .
Collection of swab solution : Swab the surface on a predetermined sampling point using swab stick and immediately transfer the swab in to a test tube and add 9.5 ml of methanol (using pipette), sonicate for about 2 minutes .
Preparation of swab sample solution: Pipette out 0.5 ml of standard stock solution in a 5 ml volumetric flask, dissolve and dilute to volume with swab solution and sonicate for about 2 minutes.
Instrument conditions :
Injection volume of standard: 20 µl
Injection volume of swab sample: 20 µl
Other parameters: As appropriate based on the analytical technique.
Calculate the content of residue in ppm taken by the formula
Content (ppm) = ------------ x standard dilutions x sample dilution10 (swab sample /dilution factor)
As x recovery factor
Where Au is corrected absorbance of sample and As is the absorbance of standard solution (10ppm) respectively and C is the concentration of standard solution in ppm
Corrected response of sample solution (Au) = response absorbance of swab
sample- response obtained from standard solution (AS)
recovery factor : Methods's recovery obtained from individual surface recovery studies of method validation ( example: When the swab method recovery is 88% the recovery factor is 0.88)
Note : Should be considered the result (with out any further calculation) as below limit of detection when Au value has got either negative or zero.
Weight of standard (g) x 10ml x 1000000
C (ppm) = --------------------------------------------------------
100 (stock dilutionin ml)x 100ml (std dilution in ml)
Inference of practice -3
Evaluation |
For example a surface contains 12 ppm of contaminant and got diluted to 10times due to the swab sampling procedure, then the level of contaminant in swab preparation will be 1.2 ppm which is below LOQ of the method ( objective of the article) and is appropriate after adding the specified concentration to measure the proper concentration(11.2ppm which is above LOQ) because of the spiking of 10 ppm standard solution to the swab preparation, and finally subtracting the added amount from the swab preparation results will be obtain the actual result of swab . Hense this methodology is giving the platform to bring the sample concentration is always with in the range of method at the time of its measurement . |
Risk assessment |
Using the standard addition method will give a solution to over come the analytical issues of swab samples due to its dilution against to the methods LOQ concern and also need to assure the method's accuracy be fore adopting. It should be noticed that this methodology cannot be possible for TLC method . |
Recommendation |
Can be adopted in most of the cases and is one of the better option to over come the objective of the issue. |
It is not unusual to see firms use extensive sampling and testing programs following the cleaning process without ever really evaluating the impact of evaluation on effectiveness of the procedure being used.
Cleaning validation is a scientific demonstration of the effectiveness of cleaning. We are making our efforts to achieve the maximum possible effectiveness using the proper protocols ,sampling techniques, SOP's, validated analytical methods ,but overlooking the inherent issue of the method's performance level .The proper choice of method and methodology will help to prevent the obvious errors in conclusion of the effectiveness of cleaning validation.

Kathryn Holt is about to start sixth form at one of Britain's most prestigious schools. During the winter break before leaving America, she and a group of her friends go to Las Vegas. The only thing that spoils the trip is that her best friend's brother had to come with them.
Quinnton valentine has to babysit his little sister and her friends over the spring break while they are on their trip to Las Vegas. So the first thing he does when he wakes up on the morning after their last night, next to his little sister's irritating best friend, is panic.

The Jets this morning announced they reached an agreement in principle to trade guard Pete Kendall to the Washington Redskins. The details of the trade aren't in yet but it is believed that the Jets will receive a fourth- or fifth-round pick in 2009.
Kendall, a 12th-year pro, has been unhappy with his contract since the offseason and has told anyone who would listen about his displeasure. He was scheduled to make $1.7 million this season and had wanted a $1 million increased. He blasted the organization in daily post-practice news conferences and finally got his way late last night when a deal was struck.
Kendall is expected to get a new contract from the Redskins.
The move leaves rookie Jacob Bender as the starter. Bender, a sixth-round pick out of Division II Nicholls State, played tackle in college. He was moved into the starting lineup only this week after veteran Adrien Clarke struggled.

POSTED: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 - 4:30pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 - 4:44pm
(CNN) — Chris Christie may be sitting pretty in the polls right now, but New Jersey's tough talking Republican governor isn't letting those numbers go to his head as he faces re-election this November.
"Listen, no one's unbeatable, OK. And so, the idea that somehow because you are very popular in February means you are going to be very popular in November -- could be, but could not be. There will be a lot of things that will happen in between now and then that will determine that," Christie told reporters Wednesday.
Christie's approval rating among New Jersey voters skyrocketed in a slew of polls starting in November, thanks in part to his very active response to Superstorm Sandy, which struck the Garden State in late October and caused severe damage. But Christie realizes those sky high numbers could be fleeting.
"Listen, there is nobody around who enjoys being at 74% approval more than I do. Listen -- if it's 74 or 44, I'll take 74. You know, I mean I have been at both and I know how both feel and I'd much prefer to be at 74. But the fact is that that can change very quickly and I don't expect to get 74% of the vote in November," added Christie.
Christie also reminded reporters that New Jersey is a blue state with registered Democrats greatly outnumbering registered Republicans.
"I think we are doing pretty well when I have reporter in this state who asks a Republican governor `do you think you are unbeatable?' Just the fact that you asked me that question means we are doing OK. Nobody was asking me that four years ago by the way," Christie said.
Polls conducted last month indicated that Christie had a huge lead over state Sen. Barbara Buono, who Democrats are now rallying behind as the consensus challenger to the Republican governor. Those polls were conducted before other potential Democratic candidates decided against bids and Buono emerged as the pick of most party leaders as their gubernatorial nominee.
Christie says he hopes voters will look at his entire record over the past four years when it comes to their decision in the gubernatorial election.
"I would hope that people would make their decision on who to vote for come November based upon the totality of the record over four years. Does the incumbent deserve re-election or doesn't he? Have I been the kind of governor that I promised people I would be? Have I done the job in a way that's made them proud? Do they think New Jersey is better off now than it was four years ago?" added Christie.
New Jersey, along with Virginia, are the only two states to hold gubernatorial contests in the year after a presidential election.

MSC Opera Cruise Review by RBoyle: MSC Opera Has a Lot To Sing About

MSC Opera Has a Lot To Sing About
As a first time cruiser the family thought we'd try a shortish holiday from Southampton.
This meant either the Fjords or Northern Europe and we thought Northern Europe would offer more for or teenagers so we opted for MSC. After booking I started reading very, very bad reviews about the ship but as far as we were concerned they were all untrue
We arrive at 12.30 and by 13.10 the car was parked, check in complete and we were in our stateroom- Excellent service
The ship was magnificent. Gleaming and elegant
Entertainment was good, food excellent, ports interesting but the weather terrible-- Very rough seas for several days- Not MSC's fault but I'd hope for better in July
All in all a good holiday which could have been a great weather with sunshine and calm seas
Port Review: La Rochelle-- It rained and cost 9 Euros PP to get there. Bilboa Interesting and sunny 12 Euro to get to city. La Coruna Interesting. More
Cherbourg 7 Euro shuttle a bit of a rip of Cite de La Mer very Good Less

Rain stops play on final day at Paul Ricard
Just two drivers recorded a time at Paul Ricard on Friday as heavy rain and strong winds brought a premature end to the weeks final day of testing at the French circuit.
Five drivers from three teams ventured out in the tricky conditions, but only Williams Antonio Pizzonia and Toyotas Ryan Briscoe actually set times, both managing less than ten laps before deciding to join the others in abandoning their programmes.
For Williams, it was the end of a three-day schedule and Chief Operations Engineer Sam Michael was pleased with their progress. "Juan Pablo (Montoya) and Antonio were on testing duty for the team today, with both drivers completing some traction control work and practice starts in preparation for Imola, he said. However, strong wind and driving rain forced us to abandon running this afternoon.
Overall, the test was quite useful as we managed to identify several set-up options for the forthcoming San Marino Grand Prix. We also verified some new directions on tyre compounds and casings with Michelin."
Friday was Briscoes fourth day in action for Toyota. "It's been a constructive test, and I completed over 100 laps on each of the first three days before the bad weather set in, said the Australian. On Tuesday we did a lot of long runs, working on tyre durability and set-ups for tyre wear, comparing different Michelin constructions. It went well but I had to stop early with a gearbox problem.
We worked on engine braking and tyres on Wednesday, and I put in 128 laps on Thursday, continuing the work on engine braking and looking at some of our software systems. Finally, on Friday I did a short run but the wind was way too strong to make any real progress. This was only my second test on the TF104. We have only made small improvements so far, but we are heading in the right direction."
Toyota also completed a two-day test at Estoril in Portugal, with Ricardo Zonta running a total of 254 laps at the wheel of the TF103. "The last time I raced here was my first win in F3000 with Team Draco, so it was nice to return, said the Brazilian. There have been a few changes to some of the corners since then but the track has kept all of its character from before.
We have done two days of intensive wet tyre testing and covered many kilometres in preparation for the Imola GP and for future development. The car has remained 100% reliable which is very important when you have such a concentrated programme to complete. I am glad to say we completed the programme and I hope that it will give us an advantage if we face damp or wet conditions for the forthcoming Imola GP - which the forecast currently predicts."
Takuma Sato took over from Jenson Button for BARs final day of testing at Paul Ricard ahead of the San Marino Grand Prix. In spite of the weather, Sato was able to complete nine starts and 10 laps during the morning session. And despite a disappointing end to the test, the team managed to collect significant aerodynamic and tyre data under more favourable conditions during the first two days.
BAR had also commenced a three-day aero test at the Vairano circuit in northern Italy on Wednesday with Anthony Davidson. Unfortunately, a fire caused by an oil leak caused extensive damage to the car and the remainder of the test had to be cancelled.
Elsewhere on Friday, it was the fifth and final day of testing of the week for Ferrari at the Fiorano circuit. Michael Schumacher was back on track at the wheel of an F2004. Their day was also affected by rain and so the work centred on testing wet weather tyres. Schumacher completed a total of 35 laps, three of them on the short version of the track, with a best time of 1m 00.860s.
