A true game-changer for sustainability, this unique "Art" garden offers mass appeal by using music and art to unite the community.
About this project
Welcome to a radical new way to unite communities and experience the arts! The Railyard Community Art Garden is a unique project for the community of Salt Lake City initiated by the non-profit group Artists for Local Agriculture and the Utah Arts Alliance. Being an "art" garden, it not only provides much needed space for members of the community to grow fresh organic food, but it uses the power of art to unite diverse crowds in support of a crucial cause.
The garden will be unique to Salt Lake, offering not only standard garden plots available to the public, but also incentive and opportunity for artists, whether it be wall art, sculptures, landscape art, gallery events, installations and more. There will also be regular events on the central stage by local musicians, theater groups, and informative workshops and classes about gardening and the arts. This is an exciting new way for the community to come together and share their talents, whatever they may be!
The A.F.L.A. group, Artists for Local Agriculture, was founded by long-time musician and activist Michael Cundick in 2011. Armed with experienced pro-bono support and the influence of a large network of supporting gardeners, musicians and artists, A.F.L.A. has been very effective at igniting the artistic community and advocating for local farmers. The Railyard Community Art Garden is their most ambitious project yet and with the land space secured from the Utah Arts Alliance they are ready to breathe new life into downtown Salt Lake City!
The Utah Arts Alliance (UAA) is a long standing organization that aims to foster the arts in ALL forms in order to create an aware, empowered, and connected community. Executive Director Derek Dyer was happy to add the art of gardening to the list of the many organizations it supports. The garden will be located on the grounds of the UAA's newest project the Salt Lake Arts Hub that houses 35 artist studios, office space for arts non-profits, dance studios, an events center, with over 33,000 sq. ft. of building space, and more. It is a perfect compliment for this unique community art garden.
After months of planning the project is ready to launch and needs your help to really get off the ground. Countless volunteer hours have gone into it already and the design has been finalized. We need your help to get the supplies to make this project a reality. If you are interested in donating time and elbow grease please message us. Help make this an outstanding success! The plans are laid, the experience is present, the paintbrushes are dipped, guitars are all tuned, and the volunteers are ready.... Let's do this thing!
Help us turn this...
Into an inspiring and sustainable labor of love!
Risks and challenges
There are always concerns and challenges associated with starting a community garden such as burst irrigation systems, improper zoning, not enough community interest, poor management. It's definitely not an easy task, but we have ensured every step of the way that we are well equipped to handle this! The partnership with the Utah Arts Alliance ensures that there will never be a zoning issue, and everything else can be solved with elbow grease and knowledge (and funds which is why we need you!). So you know more about our expertise, we have been working closely with Wasatch Community Gardens, a local non-profit established in 1989. WCG provides expertise and assistance to many community gardens in Utah through their Community Garden Network Program. Also our indispensable operations manager, Carissa Gardner, is a long time gardener and has just graduated from Wasatch Community Gardens "Growing Community Gardens" nine week course. She is very excited to get to work! We also have the full support and backing of Slow Food Utah (slowfoodutah.org) as well as a great network of local farmers who are glad to give advice and lend a hand!

Endocyte Scores Double Win With Targeted Cancer Drug
Endocyte (ECYT - Get Report) shares rose sharply Friday on a double dose of positive news for its targeted cancer drug vintafolide.
European regulators issued a positive opinion, recommending conditional approval to vintafolide for the treatment of women with advanced ovarian cancer. Endocyte expects Europe to issue the final approval decision in two or three months. Once approved, vintafolide (under the brand name Vynfinit and coupled with a companion diagnostic test) will be sold in Europe via an existing partnership with Merck (MRK - Get Report).
Endocyte and Merck also reported positive results from a phase IIb study of vintafolide in non-small cell lung cancer. The combination of vintafolide and the chemotherapy drug docetaxel reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 25% compared to docetaxel alone.
It was very good morning for Endocyte and its shareholders, with the stock up 88% to $27.50.
Before digging into the details of the European approval and the lung cancer study, some praise and reckoning is required. Congratulations to TheStreet contributor David Sobek, an Endocyte bull. Sobek laid out the bull case for a positive European approval of vintafolide in a column published in October. Endocyte was a $10 stock at that time.I learn towards a positive approval recommendation on vintafolide from Europe, but Endocyte's application is not without risks. The company has told investors its interactions with European drug reviewers to date have been generally supportive of vintafolide but we all know this doesn't insure a favorable outcome. With that said, I'm bullish about Endocyte and its ovarian cancer drug regardless of the European approval decision.The Endocyte bear thesis outlined by a healthcare fund manager in this February column was wrong.
I believe Endocyte (ECYT_) is a short for two primary reasons. 1) European regulators are unlikely to grant conditional marketing approval to the company's experimental cancer drug vintafolide for the treatment of ovarian cancer; and 2) an ongoing phase II study of vintafolide in non-small cell lung cancer is likely to fail."I got kicked in the $%^& today, no doubt, but I did have my Endocyte position hedged so I'm still here to fight another day," this investor told me in a phone call Friday morning. Vynfinit consists of a folate (vitamin B9) linked to the chemotherapy drug vinblastine. The drug is "targeted" -- meaning it binds to folate receptors on cancer cells and delivers its chemotherapy payload while leaving normal cells intact. Patients must have cancer which over-expresses folate receptors in order to benefit from Vynfinit, so doctors use a companion diagnostic test to find eligible patients. In Europe, Endoycte estimates Vynfinit will be a potential treatment option for between 7,500 and 9,000 women with advanced ovarian cancer which fully expresses for folate receptors. The conditional approval in Europe is based on a phase II study which showed Vynfinit delayed the time to tumor progression in patients with ovarian cancer that was folate-receptor positive. In the phase IIb lung cancer study, the combination of vintafolide and docetaxel met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival with a p value of 0.696. Endocyte uses a more forgiving statistical hurdle in the phase II than you'd typically see in a large phase II study, which explains why a p value of greater than 0.5 was considered statistically significant. Of course, this raises some concerns about how vintafolide will ultimately perform in a follow-on phase III study in lung cancer. But that's a battle for another day.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hello Magento forum,
This is my First Topic posting, we have 2+ Years of experience in Mangeto Commerce and have successfully deployed 2 Internationa projects in Magento Commuity Edition,
We have a new Client requirement, where they want to accept File Uploads for each of the orders processed, We would like to know which edition is best.
1. The Client wants to buy Professional Edition,
Can we initially develop the whole project in Community Edition and then Upgrade it to Professional Edition, Will professional Edition support Code Customization, i mean, the Warranty and Support will not be Void if we customize the code to accept file uploads. As this project is for a Photo Printing Lab.
Please guide us, whether we should initially purchase the Professional Edition and then Customize the code to accept Photo Prints online??
We need this clarification because we have never used the professional edition.
Hello Naz,
My name is Tyler Nemiro and I am a Magento employee.
As far as your questions, Professional Edition is customized in a very similar fashion as Community. I would recommend initially going with Professional however as going from Community to Professional is a migration that will cost time and money.
Please fill out this contact us form should you have anymore questions and a sales representative will be in touch with you shortly: http://www.magentocommerce.com/company/contact-us/.
Thank you!
-Magento Team
Our concern is that,.
Once we take up Professional Edition from you, and then customize the code to our requirements, such as accepting image uploads, etc. for the orders.
we would like to be sure that, it does not void the warranty and support of the Professional edition.
Also we would like to know whether the support is directly from Magento or third party for Professional edition,
Please clarify, so that we can take a decision.

Spend Quality Time Crafting with Your Kids This Valentine's Day
Find 21 craft projects for kids in this new eBook, available to download for free at FaveCrafts.com.
January 28, 2011—Northbrook, IL—Recent research shows that the average American is looking forward to Valentine's Day. While 49% of all Americans are excited for the holiday, 59% of married Americans are excited for it, according to Rasmussen Reports. One possible explanation for why more people aren't looking forward to Valentine's Day is the perception that it's a "Hallmark holiday." A common way of combatting the capitalism that comes with many holidays is to make homemade gifts and decorations. An additional benefit of DIY holiday crafting is the quality time spent with loved ones while making crafts.
Three out of four Americans believe that children are spending too much time using electronic devices such as computers and television, according to a study by Rasmussen Reports. Getting kids involved with other activities can be difficult for today's parents, but crafting is a popular alternative. The editors of FaveCrafts.com have released a new eBook with 21 craft projects for parents to make with their children in honor of Valentine's Day. The book includes homemade Valentines and gifts for kids to make, DIY Valentine's Day decorations, and school party crafts. The 21 Valentine Craft Ideas for Kids eBook is free to download at FaveCrafts.com.
According to Zogby International 88% of people claim to have received a homemade gift and 65% have given one themselves. With handmade cards and gifts becoming increasingly popular and acceptable ways of celebrating the holidays, the DIY movement has enjoyed increasing popularity as well. Parents who are interested in introducing their child to the joys of handmade gifts or who want to spend quality time crafting with their children should download the 21 Valentine Craft Ideas for Kids eBook for free from FaveCrafts.com.
The 21 Valentine Craft Ideas for Kids eBook gives you 21 kid-friendly craft projects to help you make the most of the holiday. This free eBook includes printable candy Valentines (pg. 6), button heart ornaments (pg. 17), conversation heart rings (pg. 21), and much more.

It is the pstate driver. Iirc you tested CPU throttle drivers and one of the oddities I remember seeing with pstate was much faster compile times with GCC.
So is this an always on protection or is it just a debug option for use by developers?
The minority view is important for civil rights, in software not so much.
There must be a thread timing issue in GCC that is causing that result. It is so dramatic they really need to look into this as it could be a huge performance gain.

Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp hopes for Marco Reus return at Hamburg
Borussia Dortmund will be aiming for their fifth consecutive win in the Bundesliga with a trip to bogey team Hamburg on Saturday, with coach Jurgen Klopp hoping that Marco Reus will be fit for selection.
Since hitting rock bottom of the Bundesliga following the winter break, Dortmund have returned to winning ways, and, especially in the 3-0 Revierderby victory against Schalke last weekend, have shown the form that made them Bayern Munich's biggest domestic rivals in recent years.
Four wins from their...

PDF - Submitted Version Download (770Kb) |
It has now been known for over a decade that low frequency ultrasound can be used to effectively enhance transdermal drug penetration - an approach termed sonophoresis. Mechanistically, acoustic cavitation results in the creation of defects in the stratum corneum that allow accelerated absorption of topically applied molecules. The aim of this study was to develop an optimised sonophoresis protocol for studying transdermal drug delivery in vitro. To this end, caffeine was selected as a model hydrophilic drug while porcine skin was used as a model barrier. Following acoustic validation, 20kHz ultrasound was applied for different durations (range: 5 s to 10 min) using three different modes (10%, 33% or 100% duty cycles) and two distinct sonication procedures (either before or concurrent with drug deposition). Each ultrasonic protocol was assessed in terms of its heating and caffeine flux-enhancing effects. It was found that the best regimen was a concurrent 5 min, pulsed (10% duty cycle) beam of SATA intensity 0.37 W/cm2. A key insight was that in the case of pulsed beams of 10% duty cycle, sonication concurrent with drug deposition was superior to sonication prior to drug deposition and potential mechanisms for this are discussed.

Team preview: Auburn
Blue Ribbon Yearbook previews the 2006-07 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
Two years ago, when Jeff Lebo began his rebuilding project on the Plains, Auburn billed itself as the "shortest team in America," with only one player taller than 6-5 on its roster. Last year, with just one senior and a boatload of freshmen and sophomores, the Tigers considered themselves the youngest team in the country.
Year three of the Lebo era will be a combination of both -- the Tigers will either be the shortest young team or the youngest short team in the country, take your pick. Auburn is still painfully inexperienced, with nine freshmen and sophomores and no seniors on its roster. And the Tigers are again on the small side, with only two players 6-8 or taller, and both of them do most of their damage from the perimeter.
It may be lacking in size and experience, but what Auburn does have in abundant supply is athleticism -- speed, quickness and jumping ability. Lebo has no choice but to turn his players loose.
"We are going to have to play fast," Lebo said. "We have guards and forwards without any centers. We're going to use our speed and our quickness and get out in transition a little bit. We hope, barring any injuries, we have a little more depth to play that way. We didn't have depth the first year and not great depth last year.
"We like to play fast. You're starting to see the evolution of the team. You will start to see it this year and how we really like to play."
Provided they can get enough defensive boards to start their transition game -- last season Auburn was 10th in the SEC in rebounding, rebounding margin and defensive rebounds -- the Tigers will be able to zoom around the court with a bunch of 6-4 to 6-7 types that are versatile enough to play several positions. And some of them even have experience.
Lebo started four freshmen toward the end of last season, but this season he'll be able to put a junior or two in the lineup if he chooses. Two of them are newcomers.

Sony Xperia go Overview
Our smartphones are becoming more and more important to us, so we take them to and use them in more and more places and scenarios we wouldn't have perhaps done before.
One of the main scenarios is when it involves water.
We all know how crippling water can be to anything electronic. This is where the Xperia go stands out. It is water resistant.
Much like the Motorola DEFY and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active, the go allows us to use the phone in more situations with less fear of long lasting damage to the phone.
IP67 rated, the Xperia go can withstand up to 30 minutes submerged in water (port covers must be closed), which is more than enough for most people! So if you are out running, caught in a rain shower or you drop the phone in the sink, you should be safe. Just for your peace of mind, we have tested the Xperia go in water and it works fine when removed!
Sporting a 3.5 inch touchscreen display with Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine technology, anything from browsing web pages to viewing photos is natural and realistic. Sensors can adjust the brightness of the screen based on the lighting conditions and you can turn it from portrait to landscape too for a large number of tasks.
A built in battery with 1305mAh capacity will be enough to keep most users powered through the day, even if you are using the on board, Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G connectivity and times.
An efficient 1GHz dual-core processor will handle the task or running multiple applications and because this has Google's Android Operating System there is an endless amount of applications you can download from Google's Play Store, be it free or paid for apps.
You might just download an app to edit photos or video captured on the 5 megapixel camera, store them on the internal memory (8GB or which 4 is user accessible) or on a microSD card, and then share them through social networks such as Twitter & Facebook either through dedicated apps or Sony's intelligent Timescape system that they have integrated.
Included in this device is access to Sonys' Music & Video Unlimited. Allowing you to stream music, videos or TV episodes right to the Xperia go. If you have a DLNA enabled TV, you can even send this content to a larger display and share with family and friends.
The Xperia go features a standard sim card slot and does too have a lanyard attachment, perfect for the more sports driven users.

"Well the Xperia Go is certainly a disappointment and deffo doesn't warrant a £200 price point. It feels very cheap in the hand and it's finished in some matt effect plastic which picks up mark like a magnet and instantly looks like a worn handset. The rear cover is very flimsy, i'm sure it wouldn't take much force to break it and in the hand tends to creak quite a bit. Of equal poor quality are the small covers aimed keeping the ports waterproof which aren't a very tight fit especially the USB cover. I'm not sure how long the power button will last either - this feels very weak giving little resistance during pressing. |

The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes
by Marcus Sakey
read: 2 March 2015
rating: [+]
category: fiction
Sakey wrote Brilliance which I loved so I went through some of his other books. This one was ... fine? The plot seemed contrived in places and the characters made choices I would not have made. It starts from an interesting premise: amnesiac guy comes to on the beach with no clothes on, wants to know what his story is ... and then turns into a bit of a romp through whodunit stuff. Mostly in LA, with some "let's tell this part of the plot as if it's a screenplay" device which I didn't like much. Enjoyed the outlines of the plot, less so the characters and some of the resolutions.
The Road From Coorain
by Jill Ker-Conway
read: 27 February 2015
rating: [+]
category: non-fiction
A fascinating story about growing up in the bush which is made more interesting by the fact that you know how the story ends (Ker-Conway winds up in the US and becomes a very successful and respected educator) without knowing how she gets there. She writes very evocatively about her driven father, her neurotic mother and the choices she made and did not make that led to her eventually going to the US. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would.

category: non-fiction
Barry writes fun romps. This is a weird dystopian office environment where things aren't always as they seem. Barry's newer stuff is better, it's cool seeing him improve as a writer, but I liked the interplay between all the odd characters, many of whom were only humanized by their interactions with other people.
The Prince of Risk
by Christopher Reich
read: 16 February 2015
rating: [+]
category: fiction
Another headcold novel. This one was a pretty good mystery/thriller about an international espionage/terrorist plot mystery thing. Reich has a lot of high powered characters who get out of more scrapes than you could imagine they could get into. This one zips along, has a satisfying conclusion and I enjoyed it.
Rodrick Rules
by Jeff Kinney
read: 13 February 2015
rating: [+]
category: ya
I'd been working my way through a terrible headcold and decided I'd like some lighter reading. I really like these books both for their excellent illustrations and the bildungsroman approach to their main character, the Wimpy Kid. I guess they turned it into a movie?

Purchased these for my man and I because we are ALWAYS forgetting utensils when we go on adventures of any sort. We just clip these bad boys to our packs so we never forget them. A little bigger than expected - only really the spoon though - but they're great. Easy to clean, durable - I've sat on mine and they didn't break ;) For the price, definitely an awesome purchase.

On July 4th, 1902, the bands marched, politicians waxed poetic, and the people celebrated on this, the grand opening of the Warren Hill Park, on top of Mount Ida, overlooking downtown Troy. The year before, after a few positive voices of agreement, along with the usual contentious wrangling and pompous posturing, the City Council of Troy voted in favor of purchasing the parkland to create Troy's newest and most important public park.
After debating the issue for several years, the city finally owned the land. Now it was time to hurry up and wait. People wanted to see the view that had made Mount Ida famous, a panoramic vista that on a good day, allowed people to see for miles around. Troy lies in the Hudson River valley between the Catskills and the Adirondacks, and the view from the top of the mountain would allow you to see both ranges. It was a great place to take in the summer breezes and escape the hustle and bustle of one of the nation's busiest and wealthiest cities. The only problem was that in the rush to get people in the park, they hadn't yet gotten around to finishing it. In fact, it was barely begun.
That was not the fault of the city's parks landscape engineer. Garnet D. Baltimore had already scoped out other cities and their parks, including Central Park and Brooklyn's Prospect Park, and had great ideas on how to make Warren Hill Park a masterpiece. But first he needed to have his plans and a budget approved. Mr. Baltimore was a scrupulous record keeper, and the Troy newspapers faithful commentators, so we know what he had to go through to get the job done. For more background on the park and the man, check out Part One and Part Two of this story. (more…)

Mactel Linux up and running
While we don't know how Edgar 'Gimli' Hucek did it yet, what we do know is that he appears to be the first to get Linux running on a Mactel. It had been expected that porting Linux to a Mactel would happen relatively quickly, unlike, say porting Windows to the same hardware.
But, although there were rumors that Red Hat Inc. engineers were working on it, the honor of getting there first goes to Hucek.
The first Linux to make the jump was Gentoo. This doesn't come as much of a surprise, since Gentoo's Portage source-code based software distribution system makes it perhaps the most flexible and configurable of all the major Linux distributions.

First of all I love the image, gorgeous painting! I completely agree with the critique as well.
Second of all I have a steampunk blog on Tumblr accendamur.tumblr.com/ where I am beginning to write my own steampunk novel and was wondering if I could upload your image. I would of course include the link to your picture in the description and not take any credit for it.
Many thanks

Using 'may contain' labelling to inform food choice: a qualitative study of nut allergic consumers
Barnett, J, Muncer, K, Leftwich, J, Shepherd, R, Raats, MM, Gowland, MH, Grimshaw, K and Lucas, JS (2011) Using 'may contain' labelling to inform food choice: a qualitative study of nut allergic consumers BMC PUBLIC HEALTH, 11. ISSN 1471-2458

Background: Precautionary 'may contain' warnings are used to indicate possible allergen contamination. Neither food safety nor foods labelling legislation address this issue. The aim of this study is to understand how peanut and nut allergic adults interpret 'may contain' labelling and how they use this information when purchasing food. Methods: Qualitative methods were used to explore both behaviour and attitudes. The behaviour and 'thinking aloud' of 32 participants were recorded during their normal food shop. A semi-structured interview also explored participants' views about 13 potentially problematic packaged foods. Transcribed data from these tasks were analysed to explore the interpretation of 'may contain' labelling and how this influenced food choice decisions. Results: Peanut and nut allergic individuals adopt a complex range of responses and strategies to interpret 'may contain' labelling. Many claimed such labelling was not credible or desirable; many ignored it whilst some found it helpful and avoided products with all such labelling. Interpretation and consequent decisions were not only based on the detail of the labelling but also on external factors such as the nature of the product, the perceived trustworthiness of the producer and on the previous experience of the nut allergic individual. Conclusions: 'May contain' labelling was interpreted in the light of judgements about the product, producer and previous personal experience. It is vital that these interpretation strategies are taken into account by those responsible for labelling itself and for the provision of advice to nut allergic individuals. Suggestions to improve labelling and advice to the allergic individual are considered.

The construction of continuing, stable, and accurate global precipitation analyses from observations from a continually changing international constellation of research and operational satellites is a fundamental but daunting challenge for the development of satellite-based global climate data records.15 Fulfillment of this task depends on a number of factors, of which the following two are central:
Climate data records depend on the maintenance of an international constellation of satellites that provide the routine time-space sampling needed for high-quality global precipitation analyses. For example, the design sampling interval of the GPM constellation of passive microwave sensors is 3 hours. International coordination to improve the phasing of polar-orbiting satellites could be a factor for improving sampling.
Climate data records depend on an ongoing and extensive international program for intercalibration of satellite radiances. Without intercalibration to remove biases, and an understanding and quantification of the error characteristics of the observations, the measurements are of marginal value for climate applications, since drifts in satellite sensors can produce spurious trends in the time series, and jumps can occur in a time series due to systematic biases from different sensor observations.
The planned observational and calibration-validation programs of the GPM mission will address many of the current deficiencies that limit the development of satellite-based global precipitation climate data records.
The best operational uses of GPM data at NOAA will be weather forecasting, hydrologic applications, climate applications, and global precipitation climate data records. Prior to the launch of the GPM core satellite, NOAA can initiate improvements in current sources of precipitation data and improvements in data products to enhance the operational benefits of the GPM mission. Chapter 4 outlines additional preparation activities at NOAA for optimal use of GPM data by the launch of the GPM core satellite.

During my radio show this week on RFSportsRadio.com (Listen Here) I discussed Tim Tebow and the fact that the Jaguars came out and said Tebow will not be coming to Jacksonville.
There was a lot of bad quarterback play this season, can Tim Tebow really not get a chance in this league?
The Jaguars GM came out and stated that Tim Tebow will not be coming to Jacksonville next year. Is Tebow really that bad of a quarterback? Did we not see him lead the Broncos to the playoffs last season and then beat the Steelers in the layoffs. Ask Peyton Manning how hard it is to win a playoff game in the NFL.
I'm not saying that Tebow is Manning, that would be ridiculous. What I am saying is that I would take Tebow over a lot of other quarterbacks that started games this season.
Here is a list of quarterbacks that started games this season.

Mankind's Darkest Day LyricsArtist: WarhammerAlbum: Deathchrist [Music by Volker Frerich and F. Krynojewski] Some say our world will end in fire; some say, in ice What if it silently fades away, for nobody to recognize? When compassion gets lost in vulcans of rage The last prayer seems like an icon of a lost decade [REFRAIN:] Some still try to avoid the darkest day The fight unnoticed of the masses that have fallen Can you see the light that points out of the darkness? Or have you surrendered yourself to total hatred? The world may end in a whisper, not a thunderous roar But it may be as dead as after the atomic stroke When caring about others disappears in clouds of dust We will dwell alive in a grave the size of this earth [REFRAIN] When did we lose track, was it right from the start? But that we did is for sure, no one can deny When the last of the fighting kind gives in We see our own demons dance Among the tears that we cry [REFRAIN]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Plants for the production of lead are generally referred to as lead smelters. Primary lead production begins with sintering. Concentrated lead ore is fed into a sintering machine with iron, silica, limestone fluxes, coke, soda ash, pyrite, zinc, caustics or pollution control particulates. Smelting uses suitable reducing substances that will combine with those oxidizing elements to free the metal. Reduction is the final, high-temperature step in smelting. It is here that the oxide becomes the elemental metal. A reducing environment (often provided by carbon monoxide in an air-starved furnace) pulls the final oxygen atoms from the raw metal.
Lead is usually smelted in a blast furnace using the carbon from the sintering machine to provide the heat source. As melting occurs, several layers form in the furnace. The molten lead layer sinks to the bottom of the furnace. A layer of the lightest elements, including arsenic and antimony, floats to the top and is referred to as the speiss. A "matte" layer also forms from the copper and metal sulfides. Finally, a layer of blast furnace slag, which contains mostly silicates, also forms. The speiss and the matte are usually sold to copper smelters where they are refined for copper processing. The slag is stored and partially recycled, if the metal content is sufficient.
The lead from the blast furnace, called lead bullion, then undergoes the drossing process. The bullion is agitated in kettles then cooled to 700-800 degrees. This process results in molten lead and dross. Dross refers to the lead oxides, copper, antimony and other elements that float to the top of the lead. Dross is usually skimmed off and sent to a dross furnace to recover the non-lead components which are sold to other metal manufacturers. The Parkes process is used to separate silver or gold from lead.
Finally, the molten lead is refined. Pyrometallurgical methods are usually used to remove the remaining non-lead components of the mixture, for example the Betterton-Kroll process and the Betts electrolytic process. The non-lead metals are usually sold to other metal processing plants. The refined lead may be made into alloys or directly cast.[1]
People who operate or work in such plants are also referred to as smelters.
Galena, the most common mineral of lead, is primarily lead sulfide (PbS). The sulfide is oxidized to a sulfite (PbSO3) which thermally decomposes into lead oxide and sulfur dioxide gas. (PbO and SO2) The sulfur dioxide (like the carbon dioxide in the example above) is expelled, and the lead oxide is reduced. Anglesite, Cerussite, Pyromorphite, Mimetite and Wulfenite are other lead ores.
Other elements frequently present with lead ores include zinc and silver.[2]
Most of the lead produced comes from secondary sources. Lead scrap includes lead acetate batteries, cable coverings, pipes, sheets and lead coated, or terne bearing, metals. Solder, product waste and dross may also be recovered for its small lead content. Most secondary lead is used in batteries.
To recover lead from a battery, the battery is broken and the components are classified. The lead containing components are processed in blast furnaces for hard lead or rotary reverberatory furnaces for fine particles. The blast furnace is similar in structure to a cupola furnace used in iron foundries. The furnace is charged with slag, scrap iron, limestone, coke, oxides, dross, and reverberatory slag. The coke is used to melt and reduce the lead. Limestone reacts with impurities and floats to the top. This process also keeps the lead from oxidizing. The molten lead flows from the blast furnace into holding pots. Lead may be mixed with alloys, including antimony, tin, arsenic, copper and nickel. It is then cast into ingots.[3][4]
Humans have been smelting lead for thousands of years, poisoning themselves in the process. Although lead poisoning is one of the oldest known work and environmental hazards, the modern understanding of the small amount of lead necessary to cause harm did not come about until the latter half of the 20th century. No safe threshold for lead exposure has been discovered—that is, there is no known amount of lead that is too small to cause the body harm.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization state that a blood lead level of 10 μg/dL or above is a cause for concern; however, lead may impair development and have harmful health effects even at lower levels, and there is no known safe exposure level.[5] Authorities such as the American Academy of Pediatrics define lead poisoning as blood lead levels higher than 10 μg/dL.
Lead smelters with little pollution controls contribute to several environmental problems, especially raised blood lead levels in the surrounding population. The problem is particularly significant in many children who have grown up in the proximity to a lead smelter.[6]
The earliest known cast lead beads were found in the Çatal Höyük site in Anatolia (Turkey), and dated from about 6500 BC, but the metal may have been known earlier. Ancient smelting was done using loads of lead ore and charcoal in outdoor hearths and furnaces.
Although lead is a common metal, its discovery had relatively little impact in the ancient world. It is too soft to be used for weapons (except possibly as sling projectiles) or for structural elements. However, being easy to cast and shape, it came to be extensively used in the classical world of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome for piping and storage of water. It was also used as a mortar in stone buildings, and as a writing material. Smeltmills were water-powered mills used to smelt lead or other metals. The Roman lead smelting has led to evidence of global pollution. Greenland ice cores from 500 BCE to 300 CE show measurably elevated lead content in the atmosphere.[7]
In the USA there are 400 forgotten lead smelting firms that operated in the 1930s to 1960s and may have deposited dangerous levels of lead contamination in nearby soil.[8]

Good Harbor Beach from Bass Rocks
Hi Joey,
I shot this from an altitude of 400' from Bass Rocks on Saturday. Souther Road is the road visible in the foreground heading towards the beach and it's marshes. It started snowing just as the drone reached altitude.
