Greek Life:
At BYU, there is no greek-life. The University got rid of Sororities and Fraternities a long time ago because they caused lots of clique-yness. The administration thought that it would be best to get rid of them, because even though the service projects that they did were great, BYU is a service-oriented University, and lots of service still got done.
I don't play sports or anything, but I absolutely LOVE going to the games. They are so much fun, and everyone gets so into the games! It's something that the entire campus unites about! The Smith Fieldhouse, Richard's Building, and Student Athletic Building, as well as the Levell Edwards Stadium and Helamen Fields are amazing! They are super nice, and the staff is super friendly. One thing I really love about BYU is how nice the players are. At some colleges, the players are cocky and full of themselves, and consider themselves better than everyone else, but not here!
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a lot of options when looking for off-campus housing. There are super cheap places to live, but also some pretty expensive places to live. It depends on what you're looking for. There is always something for everyone. They are all fairly close to campus, and they all require that you follow the honor code that BYU has. That is super nice, and it makes them all pretty safe places to live. I come from a pretty unsafe place, so for me, that is a huge plus! Everyone is super friendly, and when you are researching places to live, the managers are super helpful!
Off-Campus Dining:
I don't eat off campus that much, but whenI do, there is a great variety. You can go to the chain restaurants, such as Wendy's and McDonalds, but there are some real authentic restaurants on Center Street. There are also things that are very "typical Provo", such as Swig or Sodalicious. I think there is a good combination between what you're used to eating and adventereous food.
The administration here at BYU are incredible! They are super nice! Even though they are strict, you signed a contract when you applied to BYU saying that you would follow all of the guidelines in the Honor Code, including visiting hours, alcohol use, and drugs. They are not allowed on campus, and the administration is very strict about that, but it comes with the fact that you agreed to follow those rules when you applied to go here.
I received some financial aid, and it was super helpful. Applying for financial wasn't necessarily a hassle, but it was definitely confusing. I didn't really know where to go to apply. I went and talked to the financial aid office this year, and it makes more sense. It was confusing to apply, but honestly, I think any school is going to have a confusing way to apply for financial aid. I don't think that this is only applicable to BYU.
Party Scene:
The parties at BYU are super fun! I like them because they are pretty clean! Where I come from, the parties were dirty and raunchy, and I'm so glad they aren't like that here! That's one of the things that I love about BYU! The people here are so nice and have similar values to me, so I don't feel out of place at the parties!
Campus Food:
I eat at the CougarEat a lot and I've really grown to love it! I really like that they have lots of restaurants, but they also have a "Grab-n-Go" and the "CougarExpress" where you can just pick out pre-made food! That is the best because whenever I am in a rush, I can still get something to eat! The employees at the CougarEat are so friendly and helpful! I spend a lot of time there!
Campus Housing:
I really like living on campus! It's super close to all of my classes and the library! It's close to my work and it's pretty sociable! I live in a really nice dorm, with a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It's been really nice having a dorm with a kitchen, so I can actually cook food and not have to always buy from the cafeteria and fast-food (even though I do tend to do that a lot!). The people in my building are super nice and easy-going! The only down-side to living on campus is the walk to most social events. Lots of parties and get togethers occur off campus and it's a pretty far walk from the dorms. Other than that, I really like living on campus!!
Campus Food:
The food choices on campus are excellent. There's a wide range of pretty much anything from boiled eggs to chicken sandwiches to ice cream. There's even Chinese food. It's great and I've never been let down.
Campus Housing:
Living in campus is great. I did so my freshman year. I met so many new people because of the activities and dances that we had within our living residence. But at the same time, I have enjoyed living off-campus as well. Provo is a college town so every apartment isn't more than a thirty minute walk. I haven't been in a bad area and I've lived in five different apartment complexes. Each one has had very good social aspects, amenities and free wifi, and low costs.
Off-Campus Housing:
I live off campus, and its really nice. It's cheaper than living on campus. There are tons of options, but most places aren't anything fancy.
Off-Campus Dining:
My roommate and I try to go to a new restaurant every two weeks. It's really fun!
BYU has a strict moral code, but the people who attend here know how to have fun while still following it. If you are looking for the typical college party scene, this isn't the school for you. However, there are a ton of fun and creative things to do, just don't plan on a lot of drugs, alcohol, or sex.
I didn't have to pay any tuition!
Party Scene:
Hard to find drugs or alcohol, but that's ok with me.
Campus Housing:
I don't live on campus
Off-Campus Housing:
off- campus housing applications is all done online and is very convenient mast of the time but there are some hidden costs.
Off-Campus Dining:
I dont go off campus much to eat, but when I do the food is always great
Most Administrators are constantly keeping to the rules, but some have no clue what they even are.
Its kind of hard to find the scholarship process, but once you do the task is simple.
Party Scene:
There is always something going on around campus you just have to ask and you will find something to do
Campus Food:
There is always some great place to get good food at nearby
Campus Housing:
The dorms are a great environment with great amenities and a lot of wonderful people
Off-Campus Housing:
The housing process seems daunting but once you get through it once its very easy. If you call them directly, it is very easy to get help with the process.

A BYU experience is unlike anything else. The things that you will learn go far beyond what is taught in the classrooms, and the people that you will meet are exceptional. Researching the school, and being familiar with the rules and expectations of students, will make the transition smoother and help you get the most out of your BYU experience.
Talking with people who have attended, reading books such as this one, and looking at the BYU Web site (www.byu.edu) are all great ways to make sure that this is really the school for you. If you decide that BYU is what you want, then jump in and enjoy it! You are in for a great and character-building experience.

Faced with a dizzying spike in the rate of rhino killings, South Africa announced on Tuesday it was deploying a reconnaissance aircraft to combat poaching.

The Royal Botanical Gardens will also be holding itÂs Rose Festival concurrent with the All-Canadian Rose Show which will give the public the opportunity to view the new renovations to their rose gardens.
Not only will this be a historic show, it will be a great opportunity to learn, shop, and network with other rosarians who will be coming from as far away as Edmonton and Montreal.
All questions and comments are welcome. Please feel free to contact Mark Disero, Show Chairman, at email@example.com or 519-720-0067

Taiji Cove dolphins: Japanese government defends 'lawful' slaughter as hunters prepare to kill 200 animals
Hundreds of dolphins are killed in a remote Japanese bay during hunting season. The town argues it is an important tradition, but conservationists maintain the bloody practice is inhumane
David McNeill
Monday 20 January 2014
Japanese fisherman have begun the slaughter of hundreds of bottlenose dolphins this morning, campaigners said, amid an international outcry over the annual hunt.
Members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), which is monitoring the cull, said fisherman had begun killing the dolphins corralled into the Taiji cove earlier this week at 7.30am.
Washington and Tokyo, normally the staunchest of allies, have been drawn into an unexpected diplomatic spat over the slaughter of the mammals in the secluded cove.
Japan's top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga, defended the controversial cull in the town of Taiji as "lawful", swatting away criticism from the US ambassador, Caroline Kennedy.
Ms Kennedy, the only surviving child of the assassinated US President John F Kennedy, joined the chorus of global outrage this week when she said her government opposed the practice. "Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing," she tweeted, as fresh images appeared online showing apparently bloodied dolphins being herded into the cove for the slaughter, which is expected to take place today.
Conservationists say a rare albino dolphin is among about 250 of the animals thrashing behind nets overnight. "Babies and mothers will be torn from each other's sides as some are taken for captivity, some are killed, and others are driven back out to sea to fend for themselves," said the SSCS.
The hunts are notoriously brutal. Fishermen on boats surround pods of migrating dolphins, lower metal poles into the sea and bang them to frighten the animals and disrupt their sonar. Once the dolphins are herded into the narrow cove, the fishermen attack them with knives, before dragging them to a harbour-side warehouse for slaughter. The best-looking dolphins are separated and sold to aquariums.
Ms Kennedy's message was translated into Japanese and retweeted thousands of times, prompting a backlash by nationalists who resent Western criticism of the cull. "Laughable," wrote one anonymous post to an online bulletin board. "What about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the indiscriminate bombings of Japanese cities and US killings in the Middle East?"
Traditionalists say dolphin and whale have been eaten locally for centuries. Restaurants and shops offer dolphin and whale sashimi and blubber, along with tuna and shark-fin soup. Dolphin meat sells for around £6-£10 a pound. Some local fishermen say the cull is necessary to keep dolphins from eating too many fish.
Taiji was exposed to worldwide scrutiny four years ago in the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove, which followed a party of eco-activists as they battled fishermen and police to stop the cull. The documentary was attacked by Japanese ultra-rightists who threatened cinemas that showed it, and by Taiji officials who said the documentary-makers had "psychologically tortured" the fishermen.
The Cove triggered a brief, heated debate in the Japanese media, which had largely ignored the practice until then. Many activists, including the most famous – Ric O'Barry, a former dolphin trainer-turned-campaigner – predicted the global spotlight would end the tradition. "I honestly believe when the world finds out about this it will be abolished," he said.
But the annual cull of about 2,000 small porpoises and dolphins has continued. The former Guns n'Roses drummer Matt Sorum is among the latest high-profile campaigners to visit the town. "In what boats did they chase these dolphins with centuries ago?" he tweeted. "Lies… this has only been in the last 30 years… Greed not tradition."
Last year the local prefecture announced plans to build a marine mammal park where it said tourists would be able swim alongside dolphins and whales, and sample local cuisine – including whale and dolphin meat. The plans drew yet more international flak but Taiji's mayor Kazutaka Sangen was undeterred. "We are not going to change our plans for the town based on the criticism of foreigners," he said.
If anything, Taiji's growing infamy has widened the cultural gulf between the town and the rest of the world. Taiji, which has a population of about 3,000 people, has installed a 24-hour police box to deal with the steady stream of activists making their way to the cove. Locals bristle at the sight of Westerners.
Conservationists say the fishermen have already killed over 170 dolphins and small whales this year and taken 24 captive since the start of the new year. A tweet from a team of activists overlooking the cove said the animals had spent a fourth night without food and would be slaughtered today by a party of about 40 to 60 fishermen.
"I've been here for three years and this is absolutely the largest I've seen driven into the cove," Melissa Sehgal, leader of the Sea Shepherd group, told Australian media.
Ms Kennedy's intervention has again produced a flurry of stories in the Japanese media. The state broadcaster NHK said the ambassador was known as an animal lover and her comments were likely to be taken in that light. "The debate is likely to continue," it said. The message from Mr Sangen was more uncompromising. "The hunting of whales and dolphins has been carried out since long ago and is performed on scientific grounds," he told Japanese reporters last night. "I will protect this tradition."
The Independent's Christmas Appeal for 2013 focused on wildlife conservation. It supports Space for Giants, a Kenya-based charity which protects elephants and prevents human-wildlife conflict. The organisation is preparing for a conference in London on 13 February to address the damage caused by poaching.

The List: The Six Most Important U.S. Military Bases
The U.S. military is cleaning house. Existing bases are being retooled or eliminated, and new ones are popping up in some unexpected places. FP looks at the overseas bases that are now vital to the U.S. military—and the new ones that will change its global footprint for years to come.
(U.S. Department of Defense)
Andersen Air Force Base Apra Harbor, Guam
The base: Andersen can handle aircraft ranging from unmanned aerial vehicles to long-range strategic bombers, and Apra Harbor can service everything from nuclear submarines to aircraft carriers. The naval base is also home to one of the three Maritime Prepositioning Squadrons worldwide, which provides mobile, long-term storage of land-combat equipment and supplies near potential trouble spots.
Its importance: Located in the Pacific Ocean about 2,000 miles from Asia, Guam is close enough to the mainland to be vital in any conceivable conflict yet distant enough to preclude a surprise blow from an adversary. Andersen is one of the few locations with the necessary hanger facilities to protect the B-2s sensitive, radar-evading skin, and strategic bombers regularly cycle through the base to project power toward mainland Asia. The best part: unlike other large bases in the region, Guam is U.S. territory.
Balad Air Base/Camp Anaconda, Iraq
The base: Most prominent of the enduring bases being constructed in Iraq, Balad is located just north of Baghdad. It is one of the busiest airfields in the country, accommodating both Air Force fighters as well as transport aircraft. Camp Anaconda, adjacent to the air base, serves as a main base and logistics center for U.S. troops serving throughout central Iraq.
Its importance: Balads facilities and location make it more than just an ideal base from which to fight insurgents in Iraq. It is also perfectly positioned to project U.S. power throughout the Middle East, and it will likely do so for many years to come. Although this convenience might serve wider U.S. interests, it doesnt sit too well with Balads Iraqi neighborsU.S. soldiers have nicknamed Camp Anaconda Mortaritaville after a common greeting they receive.
(U.S. Air Force)
Bezmer Air Base, Bulgaria
The base: Bezmer reflects a broader trend toward lighter, more austere bases in Eastern Europe and away from the larger military complexes in Western and Central Europe. To keep a low profile in the host countries, the Pentagon is reluctant to even refer to Bezmer and its Eastern European equivalents as bases, and it stresses that the host countries retain full control of their facilities.
Its importance: Compared to U.S. bases in old Europe, Bezmer and its Eastern European equivalents are cheaper to operate and closer to potential hot spots in the Middle East and Central Asia. In times of conflict, the military will use these facilities to surge men and materiel toward the front lines. The hope is that former-Soviet bloc host countries will be more amenable to U.S. bases than other hosts in old Europe and be less likely to block their use in a time of conflict.
(U.S. Navy) Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory
The base: Located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia served as a base for B-52s during the 1991 and 2003 wars with Iraq and during post-9/11 operations in Afghanistan. Its isolated anchorage is also home to both Army and Marine seaborne prepositioning squadrons for land-combat equipment and supplies.
Its importance: Isolationand British sovereigntymake Diego Garcia a far more secure base for U.S. forces than any mainland base in Africa, the Middle East, or South Asia. Specialized shelters to protect the sensitive stealth equipment of visiting B-2s have recently been installed, and strategic bombers regularly rotate through the base. The atoll is also an important part of the U.S. Space Surveillance Network of telescopes, radars, and listening stations.
Guantnamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba
The base: Originally intended as coaling station for the U.S. Navy, Guantnamo Bay (or Gitmo) remains an important logistical base for Navy units operating in the Caribbean. It also serves as a hub for counter-drug and migrant interdiction operations.
Its importance: Gitmos greatest strategic asset is its hazy legal statusit is U.S.-controlled, but it is not U.S. territory. Although its not the only place through which enemy combatants (neither POWs nor convicted criminals) could be processed, it is readily accessible from the U.S. mainland, and its staff and facilities have experience in detention operations from their time as host to Haitian and Cuban refugees. As a result, Gitmo is one of the most well-known and reviled U.S. bases worldwide. The Bush administration has repeatedly rejected high-profile calls to shut down the base.
(U.S. Department of Defense)
(U.S. Air Force) Manas Air Base, Kirgizstan
The base: Manas was established at Bishkeks international airport in the months following 9/11 as a hub for multinational operations in Afghanistan. It has since grown into a substantial base in the heart of Central Asia, playing host to combat aircraft, their supporting personnel, and associated facilities.
Its importance: In addition to its proximity to Afghanistan, Manas is located near the immense energy reserves of the Caspian Basin, as well as the Russian and Chinese frontiers. Kirgizstan has not threatened to follow Uzbekistans example and expel U.S. forces, which suggests that Manas could become a linchpin of the enduring U.S. presence in Central Asia. Recognizing its value, Kirgizstan is talking about raising the rent from $2 million to $207 million per year.

Last semester, I was giving a lecture on the history of the Supreme Court from 1953 to present. Toward the end of the lecture, I asked my students if they could name the current Chief Justice. None were able to do so. There were thirty students in the class. This was in a college classroom, mind you.
I was annoyed by the failure of a single student to know the name of one of the three most powerful men in America. But, whenever annoyed, I have a tendency to make jokes to lighten the atmosphere. So I told my students to go to the SCOTUS website next time they were in the tattoo parlor and had a couple of spare hours to surf the internet on their iPhone. They laughed and then I casually asked "How many of you have tattoos?" About twenty students raised their hands, which was far more than I expected.
Asking that question was a big mistake. The next time I walked into class, a young man was asking a sorority girl where her tattoo was located. She lifted up the back of her shirt and showed him a giant tramp stamp across her lower back. It was as sad as it was surprising. Apparently blond hair, blue eyes, and natural beauty aren't enough to attract college boys these days. She needs a tattoo to let him know that his chances of getting sex on the first date are close to 100%.
Over the last few years, tattoo parlors have been popping up like weeds here in Wilmington. I have always assumed that their popularity was easily explained: Young people just want to draw attention and tattoos give them something to show off. They are just another way of helping young people feel different. Even if most kids have them, theirs can be unique. They can even tell a story.
But the narcissistic and short-sighted component of tattoo accumulation is just half the story. I had an epiphany about the other half of the story as I was talking to a woman we will call Brooke. We're going to call her Brooke because that really is her name. Brooke was complaining to two of her friends (who are also my friends). She was complaining about the thing single women complain about most often: the boyfriend who won't respect her even though (maybe because?) she is sleeping with him regularly.
Brooke's complaint with her boyfriend was that he desired to stay in her bed after they were finished having "fun." This TMI moment was topped off by a deep philosophical argument: "My bed is an intimate place. Until we're married, he's not welcomed there overnight. That's just too presumptuous. It's too intrusive."
Translation: You can have my body but not my bed. The former is of less value to me. Some will say it's just one anecdote. Of course, it is. But it is part of a larger pattern I am seeing among younger adults. Like virtually all other unhealthy aspects of our culture, it is being nurtured in the university setting. Thinking about these three campus cultural trends will add some perspective:
*Sexual experimentation is encouraged by the administration. Free condoms are available, free birth control is often available. Students are taught to give themselves away and that the only concern is that they remain physically healthy enough to continue to do so.
*Abortion is strongly encouraged on campuses - often to the unconstitutional exclusion of competing ideas. Use of RU 486, which is a dangerous toxin causing the death (and then expulsion) of the unborn, is encouraged. Rarely is there an intelligent discussion of the drug's harmful side effects.
*Genital mutilation is promoted as a means of increasing diversity. College students – even as young as 18 - are encouraged to resolve sexual confusion with the blade of a knife. This permanent disfigurement of their genitalia is simply another form of sexual expression. It's no longer stigmatized. It's celebrated!
There is a dangerous undercurrent here. It is obvious that immediate gratification appeals to young people. But it is compounded by something that is lacking. And what is lacking here is any sense that we as humans are made in the image of God – and that our bodies, therefore, have some intrinsic value. If we were still willing to nurture that idea in our culture – and allowed to do so by the Supreme Court - these trends would not be engulfing us and destroying our children.
Tattoos are a lot like guns. Soon after you get one, you want another. But unlike guns the tattoo always leaves a permanent mark. Whenever the desire to cover one's body with ink sets in, one thing is clear: there is a void in one's soul that desperately needs filling. Like all such voids it is of a spiritual nature and cannot be filled by physical things. At its core, every desire we experience is really a longing for God.
I should not be surprised that so many of our children are covering themselves with ink. They have been separated from transcendent meaning. Now they must create meaning for themselves in order to fill that void. Too often, they try to recreate themselves altogether. And they mask their God-given beauty in the process.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of our readers it has become necessary to transfer our commenting system to a more scalable system in order handle the content.

On the lakeside of the Zeller See, with a magnificent view of Zell am See
and the Schmittenhöhe beyond, sits Hotel Bellevue. The hotel is over
100 years old and has an international reputation. Built in the Art
Nouveau style, the hotel has been under the management of the Seitz
family for generations.
The owner of Hotel Bellevue got in touch
with Dormio some time ago to discuss the
creation of a number of apartments right
next door to the hotel. This is a unique
project that is perfectly suited to Dormio's
The residence has an ultra-modern
appearance and the design incorporates
lots of glass, to make the most of the views
from each apartment. The result is an ideal
holiday apartment/pied-à-terre which can
be used all year round. The town of Zell
collaborated with the project by taking
part in the jury that assessed the design
of the apartments, and this design was
selected from the 10 submissions. The
design is deliberately in stark contrast to
the historic hotel. The brand new complex
will be built on a site formerly occupied by
an annex of the hotel. It will be connected
to the existing hotel and will have a shared
reception area.

Thai court voids 'secured' foreigner leases
PHUKET, THAILAND — In a shock decision by the Phuket Civil Court, backed by the Region 8 Appellate Court, it has been ruled that so-called "secured leases" offered by some real estate developers to allow foreigners to secure a cast-iron 90-year lease are not valid.
The case is now to go to the Supreme Court. If confirms the lower-court opinions, then not only will any renewal term of "secured" leases by foreigners be invalid, but also the current lease terms.

Rose Harvest Time Memory
hoovb zone 9 sunset 23December 13, 2013
I met a lady at a garden club meeting whose father was the farm manager for Jackson & Perkins in the 1950's and 60's, and she used to go visit him at work after school in the growing fields. This was before J&P went corporate. They used to prepare the roses for harvest every November by bringing in a herd of sheep(!). The sheep would eat all the foliage off the roses, and then the sheep would be taken away before they started in on the canes. What was left looked like a cotton field, a forest of bare rose stems with fuzzy white spots everywhere, as the sheep would leave tufts of wool on the rose prickles.

lavender daffodil
i saw an advertisement for a daffodil with a lavender trumpet but didn't do anything about it when I should have.
Now I am beginning to belive I am the only one who saw it.
Does anyone else know about this daffodil?
Now I am beginning to belive I am the only one who saw it.
I imagine you are the only one, as there are no lavender daffodils. It was either the work of some photo doctoring, a false advertisement, or someone who just does not know any better.
A short while back an ebay member was selling daffodil bulbs quite cheaply. Upon looking at her pic, it looked like she had taken a daylily root and then trimmed all the individual roots off of it. I wrote her about it, and she asked 'me' what I 'thought' it was.
Ok...Here is the thread.
There is a lot of bad info on the net and being sold for something it isn't.
If you go the link below, and do a search on lavender in the Flower Name box, you will see there are 4 daffs with Lavender in their name.
There is
Lavender Hope
Lavender Lady
Lavender Lass
and Lavender Mist.
If you look at the pics (there are pics for 3 of them) you will see that there is absolutely no lavender to them in any way. It is just a name.
There are maybe about 15,000 different varieties, (please do not quote me on that) so that's a lot of different names.
Here is a link that might be useful: Daffseek

A ril 28, 1953 J. F. POSTELL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IRRADIATING LIQUIDS Filed May 12, 1950 im-E- INVENTOR. JAME F. POSTELL ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 28, 195 3 PATZE N T "I lMSE'I'HQD AND APPARATUS FOR 'IKRAflDIfATING :IJIQUIDS Sadie-ans- '1 This invention relates to "the irradiation r-oi liquids and is concerned in particular with a method cit-and apparatus for controlling-thee tent of irradiation of liquids.
The irradiation of liquids-With ultraviolet rays for the production of biological reactions; suchas the destruction of bacteria and other microorganisms, and photochemical reactions-such as the prodnctionof vitamin D, is effective only where a number of factors are carefully controlied. One of these factors is the wave-length or m radiations, c. g. the extent to whic'ha fill'i'l of radiant energyaffects a biological or photochemical reaction depends open the lines Which-are included in-the ultrafactor may be controlled Within predetermined limits by theproperselection ofone of the manydiiierent types of ultraviolet ray discharge lamps'that are available onthe'market; those-lamps having an envelope'of fused quartz being; permeable to radiations of shorter wave length than are the lampshaving envelopes consisting of glasses-of lesser silica purity than quartz.
Another of the "factors affecting theextent-of irradiation is the intensity of the radiantenergy, this factor being dependent uponthe wattage used to energize the lamp andupongthe distance between the lamp and the liquid undergoing treatment. The manner'of controlling the energy intensity is, therefore, obvious.
"Still another factor infecting irradiation is the time period during Which'each .particle-of 'the liquid undergoing treatment-is exposed-to "the radiant energy. It is to the proper control-of this factor that iany of the prior art efforts have been directed yet none have been entirely successful in attaining satisfactory control. "Many of the prior art irradiation devicesjcause a thin film of liquid to flow by gravity over an'inclined surface While other devices cause the flowing liquid to become mixed in ordertopresent as many as possible of thereactinq particles'to'the source of radiant energy. In either case,.jthe result constitutes a compromise involving underexposure, overexposure; and the actual desired reaction.
The factors which determine the. extent...to which each particle of the liquid being vtreatedis exposedto ultraviolet rays are the thicknessof the body of the liquid, and the rate atwhichthe liquid flows past the source of energy. .Ifwthe liquid body has a thickness greater thanthat through which ultraviolet rays main-penetrate,
then, inrthe absence of agitation ofatheiliquid, the apa-rticles furthest removed. :from 2 the source of rayswill not become irradiated; however, even with agitation anmperator can-not definitelyrin-a sure that each .andevery: particle of the {liquid will become-irradiated. Itzis possibleeven with thorough.agitation thata liquid particleqin. a body having ta thickness -.grcater than that through which :ultraviolet srays:mayteiiectively=.penetrate, may never become exposed to a ray during-the entire period'- of treatment.
The @maximu-mthickness of a ifil1n-.of-. a (given liquiq through :which-sultraviolet says will penetrate can he determined by known" spectroscopic methods. *By limiting -.-the depth.:of;,the film.nto that throueh which ultraviolet -.rays twill penetrate and r by. using: pre determinednvave length and intensity:.:ofirradiation asexplained above, there remains: only"v the :factor: of the rate :of flow of the liquid :to be. controlled in. order -to obtain such irradiationiwhich will be as completeas desired andL which will-give predetermined results.
It is,:therefore,"a gene-ralob-ject of this invention to providea method and-apparatus for-controlling the 1 time period during which a liquid is subjected to irradiation. Another object is the provision of a method and apparatus for'maintaming :a predetermined course :of how of .=a liquid through :a chamber-While the-liquid is being penetrated by ultraviolet-rays. It'is a more specific object of this invention toprovide for-the'treatment of ailiquidfilm of predetermined depth by exposing it :to ultraviolet rays of predetermined wave-length and intensity and by controllingthe rate-at which the liquid-flows past the source of the ultraviolet rays. Further objects and-variousadvantages ofthis invention will become apparent from the following description of the-preferred forms thereof, reference lacing made to the accompanying drawings iii-which:
" Figure "1 is a -section'al elevation of one form of irradiation device'of this invention,
Figure- 2 is a: sectional elevation 'ofanother iorm of'the:apparatus of this invention, and
:Figu-re3 is.-a:.sectional:plan;on the lineIII+TII of-"Figure 2.
itIn order 1120; control cthe rat offlow f .1 h liquid while maintaining the other correlated factors; which infec ir d a io a cons a alue liprovide avertically extending helical passageway;- of -predetermined dept/bland I introduce the liqu' to be treated into hevlower end of the helix;=.-ther by: ausinethe. iquidito flow cowar y throuemthe nassaeeway. Bytflowinathe; liquid in this manner, I am able to reduce the mixing that ordinarily occurs in a flowing stream, whereby each liquid particle travels through the passageway in substantially the same time period as is required for any other liquid particle. Furthermore, I maintain the temperature of the liquid at a constant value while it travels through the helical passageway so that there will be no change in its viscosity which would ofiset the rate of flow or" the liquid.
Referring now to the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the numeral It] indicates a vertical cylinder which comprises an inner tube Ii and a jacket l3, the inner tube being formed preferably of stainless steel. Recessed into the outside surface of the tube H is a helical and fiat groove 12, the maximum depth of which does not exceed the maximum thickness to which a film of the liquid to be treated may be formed before it becomes opaque to ultraviolet rays. When it is contemplated to use the cylinder from time to time for irradiating various liquids of different ultraviolet ray transparencies, then the depth of the groove l2 should not exceed the maximum thickness to which a film of the least transparent liquid may be formed before it becomes impermeable to ultraviolet radiations. in treating blood serum, for example, it has been found that the film thickness should not exceed 0.009 inch.
The jacket 13, being substantially the same length as the tube H and telescoped on the out side thereof, is formed of a material that is transparent to wave lengths of 2606 A. and below. The preferred material for forming the jacket is quartz, however, for some purposes the jacket may be formed from one of the well known ultraviolet ray transparent synthetic resins or from glasses of lesser silica purity than quartz. The inside surface of the jacket 33 and the outside surface of the metal tube H are ground and lapped to a high rouge polished finish so that they will mate when the tube is placed within the jacket. The tube and jacket are slightly tapered, the conical sections formed by the contacting surfaces thereof being of greater diameter near their top ends. This taper is formed in order to permit of more ease in machining of the surfaces and to obtain a tighter fit therebetween. The inside surface of the jacket 53 cooperates with the groove 52 to form a fiat passageway i l of predetermined depth, through which the liquid travels While it is being irradiated. Each end of the jacket is buttressed to form the outwardly extending portions and i5, which construction strengthens the jacket and supports the cushioning means as hereinafter explained.
The cap I? closes the bottom end of the cylinder it, while the cap [8 is placed on the top end of the cylinder. Between the abutting portions of the caps and the buttressed ends of the jacket are placed the cushioning rings l9, which are formed preferably of. a synthetic rubber product, the caps and the ends of the cylinder having retaining grooves as shown at for holding the cushioning rings in place. The end caps are held tightly in place by means of a tie rod or bolt 2!.
The liquid to be treated passes from a flow control unit generally indicated at 24 and into the inlet pipe to the passageway [4. The pipe 25 extends within the tube H to which it is welded or otherwise fixed as shown at 26. After the liquid has traveledthrough the passageway, it is expelled through the outlet pipe 21, which is connected to the outlet end of the passageway similarly as the inlet pipe 25. In order to maintain the viscosity of the liquid being treated at a constant value, a fluid at a predetermined temperature is introduced into the tube ii through the conduit 28 and is exhausted through the fluid outlet conduit 29. The tube H, therefore, constitutes a heat exchanger between the constant temperature fluid and the liquid being irradiated.
To irradiate the liquid. as it travels upwardly through the helical passageway, there is provided a lamp 30 having tightly wound coils. as shown, around the outside of the jacket 13, and radially spaced from the jacket by a predetermined distance. The envelope of the lamp consists preferably of fused quartz, however, it may be formed from a glass or lesser selica purity than commercially pure quartz, so long as it is appreciably transparent to ultraviolet rays, e. a. wave lengths below 2600 A. When it is desired to sterilize the liquid being irradiated, as for example, blood, blood plasma, blood serum, vaccines, etc., it is customary to use a lamp containing an inert gaseous filling mixed with mercury at relatively low pressure. Such a lamp is commonly referred to by those skilled in the art as being a "cold quartz lamp." When it is desired to use the device of this invention for the production of photo-chemical reactions such as producing vitamin D, the lamp may be of the well known high pressure mercury arc type. The electrodes 3! of the lamp are connected to a source of controlled electrical energy, which is not shown on the drawing, the manner of energizing such lamps, being well known to those skilled in the art.
By using the device shown in Figure 1, it is possible to control all of the factors affecting irradiation of a liquid with ultraviolet rays so that the reaction will occur to the extent of completeness desired. The wave length of the rays used is constant as is their effective intensity which is fixed by the wattage of the energizing circuit and by the distance of the lamp from the passageway 14. The only factor remaining to be controlled is the exposure time, and this factor has been reduced by this invention to that of merely regulating the rate of fiow of the liquid through the passageway. The liquid being treated is raised upwardly by the incoming liquid, and by causing it to travel in a helical path the agitation is reduced, so that each liquid particle travels through the passageway in substantially the same time period as does any other liquid particle. Although the lamp 30 is shown as being tapered to parallel the sides of the cylinder i3 and thereby obtain constant intensity of radiation on the liquid, it is apparent that the lamp need not be so tapered, and that it may be vertical since each liquid particle will be penetrated by rays of the same overall intensity as any other liquid particle.
A further advantage of the device shown in Figure l is that it may be easily disassembled for purposes of cleaning. Also, contamination of the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere is avoided.
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a liquid irradiation cylinder having up to twice the capacity of the form shown in Figure 1. In this modification, the inner tube to and the outer jacket 4| are both formed of a material which is transparent to ultraviolet rays, and in addition to the coiled lamp 42, which is similar in construction and operation to the lamp 3!) shown in Figure 1, a lamp 43 is placed within the cylinder and along its axis. Since in this modification, the ultraviolet radiations penetrate through the liquid from the opposite sides thereof, the channel which is provided by the space between the inner tube and the outer jacket may be up to twice the thickness of the passageway it in the form shown in Figure 1.
The ends of the inner tube 59 and the outer jacket ii are fused together as shown at 15. A spiral indentation 1-0 is formed in the outer jacket so that the inner portion of the indentation abuts the outer surface of the tube whereby liquid which is introduced by the inlet pipe ll will travel upwardly through the channel it in a helical path similarly as in the form shown in Figure 1. In order to reduce stirring of the liquid as it enters the helical channel, the inlet pipe t? is formed to communicate with the channel in a tangential manner as shown in Figure 3. The liquid after being irradiated is exhausted through the outlet pipe 98.
Where it is desirable to use one cylinder for irradiating different liquids, and one of these liquids requires a substantially shorter time period of exposure than the other liquids, it is likely that too great an increase in the rate of how of said one liquid may produce undesirable agitation, whereby some of the liquid particles will remain in the channel for a longer period than is required, thus resulting in over-exposure. In such a case, an alternative outlet pipe 49 may be provided along the side wall of the cylinder to reduce the efiective length of the channel i l so that the rate of flow of that liquid requiring only a short time of exposure, may be reduced below that speed which will result in agitation of the liquid. This pipe 49 should be formed of a material such as stainless steel which is opaque to ultraviolet rays, so that no irradiation of the liquid will occur as it passes therethrough. When the pipe E9 is not in use, it may be sealed by means of a plug 50 which extends to the inside surface of the channel. The liquid may be cooled so as to maintain its viscosity at a constant value by causing a cooling fluid to circulate about the cylinder in any well known manner, such as by blowing dry cool air against the surfaces of the cylinder.
Without further description, it is thought that the features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and it will, of course, be understood that changes in the form and minor details of construction may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention and scope of the appended claims. For example, the inner tube ll of the modification shown in Figure 1 may be formed of an ultraviolet ray transparent material and the outer jacket of opaque material. Also instead of forming a groove in the surface of the inner tube shown in Figure 1 or an indentation in the outer jacket shown in Figure 2, the helical passageways may be formed by wrapping a thin strip of ma-- terial around the inner tube.

1. An apparatus for irradiating a liquid comprising a vertical inner member of circular crosssection, a co-axial outer tubular member closely fitting around said inner member, at least one of said members being formed of a material that is transparent to ultraviolet rays, a thin, flat spiral passage means between said members arranged to form a helical channel extending substantially throughout the height of at least one of said members, said passage means appearing as a series of discrete chambers in a vertical crosssectional view of said apparatus, the maximum depth of said means being twice that thickness of a body of the liquid to be irradiated through which ultraviolet rays may pass, means for closing the ends of said channel, a bottom inlet and a top outlet communicating with said channel, and an ultraviolet ray lamp adjacent that memher which is transparent to said rays, whereby the fluid to be irradiated is passed uniformly and vertically upwardly unaccompanied by any agitation and each particle of the liquid travels through the channel in substantially the same time period as is required for any other liquid particle.
