US 4261836 A Abstract The method of and a device for conditioning sludges, especially sewage sludges at an increased pressure and at an increased temperature wherein the raw sludge is fed by means of high-pressure pumps through a plurality of heat exchanging stations until it is brought in the last station to a pressure which is sufficient for the conditioning. Thereupon the conditioned sludge is returned through the same stations and in each station is pressure released and cooled. Steam released due to the cooling is brought in contact with the incoming raw sludge and warms up the same to a saturation temperature. To insure optimum heat exchange, each station is provided with means for measuring the concentration of gas components admixed to the steam and the discharge of the gaseous mixture from the station is controlled in response to the measured concentration value.
Claims(5) 1. A method of a continuous conditioning of sludges, particularly of sewage sludges, comprising the steps of feeding the raw sludge through a succession of treatment stages while successively increasing compression and temperature of the sludge in each stage until a conditioning compression and temperature is reached in the last stage; thereafter feeding the conditioned sludge in reversed order through said succession of stages while successively reducing the compression and the temperature of the conditioned sludge and utilizing the saturation temperature of steam released during the cooling of the conditioned sludge for directly heating the incoming raw sludge; measuring the concentration of gas components admixed to the steam; and controlling the discharge of the gaseous mixture from respective stages as a function of the measured concentration of said gas components in said stages.
2. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the measurement of said concentration of the gas component takes place at the point of discharge of the gaseous mixture from each stage.
3. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said measuring of the concentration of said gas component includes the measurement of the temperature between the discharged raw sludge and the temperature of the discharged conditioned sludge and the difference of these temperatures is employed as a control magnitude for regulating the discharge of the gaseous mixture from each stage.
4. A device for continuous conditioning of sludges, particularly sewage sludges, comprising a succession of heat exchanging containers and a reaction container, each of said heat exchanging containers having an intermediate annular compartment separating the interior of the heat exchanging container into an upper space and a lower space; feeding means including feeding pumps connected for delivering raw sludge from the intermediate compartment in one heat exchanging container to the upper space in the subsequent heat exchanging container and to the final reaction container, thus successively increasing the pressure in respective containers; conduit means including pressure reducing valves connecting the lower space of the reaction container to the successive bottom spaces of respective heat exchanging containers, whereby a direct heat exchange takes place between steam emanating from the conditioned sludge and the incoming raw sludge; discharge means including control valves connected to said upper space of respective heat exchanging containers to discharge the gaseous mixture therefrom; means for measuring the concentration of gas components admixed to said steam in respective heat exchanging containers; and means for controlling the discharge of the gaseous mixture from respective heat exchanging containers as a function of the measured concentration of said gas components.
5. The device as defined in claim 4, wherein said means for measuring the concentration in respective heat exchanging containers includes a first thermal element arranged for measuring the discharge temperature of the incoming raw sludge and a second thermal element arranged for measuring the discharge temperature of the conditioned sludge, and control means for controlling said control valve in response to the measured temperature difference.
Description This invention relates generally to a method of and a device for continuous conditioning of sludges, particularly of sewage sludges, and more specifically it relates to a method in which the raw sludge is treated at an increased pressure and at an increased temperature while passing through successively arranged treatment stations until it is subject to a pressure required for the conditioning and subsequently the conditioned sludge is returned through the respective stations and is successively subject to decreasing pressure; at the same time the raw sludge, when passing through the consecutive stations, is heated up by vapors released during the depressurization of the conditioned sludge in respective stations and is thus preheated to a saturation temperature. In thermal sludge conditioning it is more advantageous for regeneration of heat to use a direct heat exchange instead of an indirect heat exchange, because the direct heat exchange requires simpler equipment in the conditioning installation which is less susceptible to failure and also requires less maintenance. On the other hand, a sludge conditioner based on direct heat exchange is more expensive with regard to the measuring and controlling devices. A method of the aforedescribed type is described in the German Pat. No. 20 19 731. In this prior-art method the pressure in respective stations is adjusted by means of exhaust gas releasing valves whereby it is necessary first to compute from a predetermined conditioning pressure in the reaction station the optimum pressures in respective heat exchanging stations and the gas releasing valves are adjusted according to the computed results so that when a computed pressure is exceeded a corresponding amount of exhaust gas is released. This known control is possessed, however, of several disadvantages. If, for example, it is desired to change the pressure in the reactor for any reason, then it is necessary to change the pressures in all the remaining heat exchanging stations. In addition, this method does not make it possible to compensate for pressure deviations during which pressure in a station is below the computed optimum level. To correct such deviations, additional measures are necessary such as, for example, the intake of extraneous steam into the station in question. These equipment for effecting such measures represent additional investment expenditures and increased operational costs. Furthermore, the discharge of gas from the intermediate stations naturally causes heat losses and it is, therefore, desirable that such gas releases be limited to a minimum. The discharge of a certain amount of gas, however, is necessary because the atmosphere in individual stations which under ideal conditions should consist of pure steam only, is in effect formed of a gaseous mixture containing steam enriched with a smaller or larger amount of gaseous components, primarily carbon dioxide, which impairs the heat exchange. It is, therefore, a general object of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. More particularly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved sludge conditioning method and device in which the aforementioned control of the exhaust gas is simplified. Another object of the invention is to provide such an improved method and device in which the heat losses are kept at a minimum. In keeping with these objects, and others which will become apparent hereafter, one feature of the invention resides in the provision of a sludge conditioning method and apparatus in which concentration of the gas component which impairs the heat exchange in each station preceding the terminal reactor is continuously measured and the measured value of this concentration is employed for controlling the amount of exhaust gas released from these stations. The measurement of the concentration of the inert gas component that is of the gas component which impairs the heat exchange, can be made at the outlet of the exhaust gas where this concentration attains its highest value. It has been found also that the generation of the heat exchange impairing gas component is different in respective stations. First of all, it is the coolest and the hottest station where a considerable amount of the heat exchange impairing gas component is generated. In contrast, in the intermediate station there occurs only a negligible amount of the heat transfer inhibiting gas component. Accordingly, it is possible in the methods and in the device of this invention to avoid almost completely any steam losses in these intermediate stations. It has been found that in each heat exchanging station the difference between the temperature of the raw sludge at the outlet from the station and the temperature of the conditioned sludge introduced into the station is a measure for the concentration of the aforementioned heat exchange impairing gas component. This finding is consistent with the fact that the aforementioned temperature difference results from the incompleteness of the heat exchange which above all is caused by the contents of the heat exchange inhibiting gas component. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of this invention each station is equipped with means for determining the difference between the outlet temperature of the raw sludge and the outlet temperature of the conditioned sludge and with means for controlling the discharge of the exhaust gas from the station in response to the measured temperature difference. This preferred embodiment of the invention is particularly simple in construction and operation. The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sludge conditioning installation employing the method of this invention; and FIG. 2 is a preliminary heat exchanging station, including measuring and controlling devices according to this invention. Referring firstly to FIG. 1, the illustrated sludge conditioning installation includes a reactor 1 interconnected with three successively arranged direct heat exchangers 2a, 2b and 2c. In practice, there is of course a larger number of these direct heat exchangers, approximately up to six to achieve the optimum result. Each direct heat exchanger is constituted of an upright cylindrical container having a convex bottom, an intermediate annular compartment having an inclined bottom 10 which divides the interior of the container into a lower space 11 and an upper space 12. The spaces 11 and 12 communicate with one another through the central opening of the annular bottom 10. An upwardly directed tubular partition 13 is welded to the rim of the central opening of the bottom 10 and defines with the cylindrical wall of the container an annular compartment or chute 15 (FIG. 2). In the upper space 12 there is provided a cascade of superposed distributing metal sheets 14a and 14b. The raw sludge is fed from a non-illustrated reservoir via a pipe conduit 6a to a high-pressure pump 3a and therefrom to an intake port in the center of the top wall of the heat exchanger 2c. Corresponding pipe conduits 6b and 6c and high-pressure pumps 3b and 3c connect the lowermost part of the chute or partition 15 in respective direct heat exchangers 2c and 2b to the intake ports on the top of subsequent heat exchangers 2b and 2a. Finally, a pipe conduit 6d including a high-pressure pump 3d connects the chute 15 of the direct heat exchanger 2e to the top intake port of the reactor vessel 1. The upper space in the reactor vessel 1 is also provided with a cascade of sludge distributing metal sheets 14a and 14b and below the cascade is an inlet connection for a conduit 6e through which an extraneous steam is introduced into the reactor. A conduit 7a connects the convex bottom of the reactor vessel 1 via a pressure release valve 4a to a connection in the cylindrical wall of the heat exchanger 2a opening into the lower space 11 of the latter. Corresponding conduits 7b and 7c including respectively pressure release valves 4b and 4c connect the bottom of the heat exchanger 2e to the lower space 11 in the exchanger 2b and the bottom of the latter exchanger to the lower space of the next heat exchanger 2c, the bottom of which is connected via conduit 7d and pressure release valve 4d to a non-illustrated storage space for the conditioned sludge. The upper space in the reactor 1 and the upper spaces in all heat exchangers 2a-2c are connected via conduits 8a-8d respectively provided wth valves 5a-5d, to a common or collecting conduit 9 through which the gaseous mixture in the reacting and heat exchanging stations can be discharged into the outer atmosphere. The operation of the sludge conditioning installation according to FIG. 1 is as follows: The raw sludge fed through conduit 6a is delivered by the pump 3a into the upper space 12 of the direct heat exchanger 2c and flows downwardly past and in contact with the cascade of the guiding metal sheets 14a and 14b where it is spread and warmed up by condensation heat of vapors rising from the lower space 11 as will be explained in more detail below. The pure heated raw sludge together with the vapor condensate falls into the intermediate annular compartment or chute 15 where it forms a swampy pool and is discharged therefrom by means of the subsequent pump 3b and the conduit 6b into the following direct heat exchanger 2b where again an increased pressure is built up. This process is repeated and the pressure is progressively increased in each of the successive heat exchanging stations 2b and 2a. Finally the preheated raw sludge is delivered by the last pump 3d into the reactor 1 where the pressure acting on the preheated sludge further increases up to the level of the reaction pressure. In the upper space of the reactor 1, the sludge descends in thin layers past the cascade or guiding metal sheets and in doing so is heated to a reaction temperature by the direct heat exchange with the counter stream of exhaust gas and by the external steam from the conduit 6e. Upon the necessary dwell of the raw sludge in the upper space of the reactor the sludge becomes conditioned, flows to the bottom of the reactor and is returned therefrom via the discharge conduit 7a and the pressure relieving valve 4a into the direct heat exchanger 2a whereby it is brought under the lower pressure taking place in the latter heat exchanger. Due to this pressure release, the conditioned sludge cools under the formation of steam or vapors. In the lower space of each direct heat exchanger, the cooler conditioned sludge is separated from its steam. The steam and other vapors and gas components rise into the upper space 12 and as explained above, they interact with the incoming raw sludge of a lower temperature. The cooled down conditioned sludge forms in the convex bottom of the heat exchanger a swampy pool and is discharged through conduit 7b and pressure relieving valve 4b into the lower space 11 of the subsequent heat exchanger 2b where the conditioned sludge is again subject to a lower pressure and cooling. In the direct heat exchangers 2b and 2c the above-described heat exchanging process takes place again and the substantially cool, conditioned sludge is discharged through the discharge conduits 7d from the installation. So far the above-described operation corresponds substantially to the known state of the art. Referring now to the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2, each direct heat exchanger 2a-2c is provided in the range of the intermediate annular chute or compartment 15 with a thermal element 16 which measures the temperature of the upper sludge pool and in the range of the convex bottom 17 there is provided another thermal element 17 which measures the temperature of the lower sludge pool. Respective thermal elements 16 and 17 continuously measure the temperature of the raw sludge flowing towards the reactor 1 and at the same time the temperature of the conditioned sludge flowing from the reactor 1. Both thermal elements are connected counter each other in a measuring circuit 18 where an output signal corresponding to the difference between the signals from thermal elements 16 and 17 is applied to a comparator circuit 19 where it is compared with a preset reference or nominal value. If the differential output signal from the circuit 18 differs from the preset nominal value in the comparator 19, the latter generates an output signal proportional to the deviation and this output signal is applied to the input of an electropneumatic signal converter 20 which generates at its output a pneumatic signal corresponding to the deviation and this pneumatic signal is applied to the input of a pneumatic position adjuster 21 which is coupled via pneumatic control drive 22 to the valve 5b in the discharge or exhaust gas conduit 8b and controls the flow through the valve 5b in accordance with the magnitude of the output signal from the comparator 19. The pressure in the reactor vessel 1 is controlled by means of the extraneous steam admitted into the upper space of the reactor via the conduit 6e. As it has been explained before, there is always present a component of a gas, such as a carbon dioxide, which impairs the heat exchange. Due to this heat exchange inhibiting gas component the temperature of the sludge in the reactor 1 is several degrees centigrade below the saturation temperature. The sludge temperature is, therefore, controlled in such a manner that a certain amount of the present gaseous mixture is discharged through the valve 5a. The controlling arrangement described in connection with FIG. 2 always releases from respective direct heat exchangers 2a-2c such an amount of the gaseous mixture that the temperature difference between the upper and lower sludge pool is kept in a range which does not exceed a predetermined maximum value. In the case of a complete absence of the heat-exchange-impairing gas component, a complete heat exchange would take place and the temperature difference would be negligibly small. The control of the discharge of the exhaust gaseous mixture is controlled by maintaining the concentration of the heat transfer impairing gas component in each heat exchanger at such a low value that the deterioration of the heat transfer cannot exceed a preset level. The heat exchange controlling device of this invention thus enables the pressures and temperatures in the respective direct heat exchangers 2a-2c to be automatically adjusted to optimum intermediate values which permit incremental increase of pressure and temperature of the incoming raw sludge and an incremental decrease in the pressure and temperature of the returned, conditioned sludge. The aforedescribed automatic control can of course be replaced by a manual control. In this case, the temperature measured by non-illustrated temperature measuring instruments has to be read periodically and according to the ascertained temperature difference the valves 5b-5d are controlled by hand. As has been mentioned above, the temperature difference is only one measure or indication of the occurrence of the heat exchange impairing gas component in respective heat exchangers. Due to the fact that this gas component is actually the only cause of the deterioration of the heat exchange, in another embodiment of this invention the measured value of this inert gas concentration is directly used as a controlling magnitude. This gas concentration in individual direct heat exchangers is not constant but increases in the direction from the lower space to the upper space. Accordingly, the highest concentration of the inert gas component is in the exhaust gas in the uppermost space and in this area it is also measured. The direct measurement of this gas component can be made by any suitable method such as described, for example, in the German Pat. No. 22 25 853. At the same time, moisture (steam) content is measured in the main stream of the exhaust gas mixture or in individual partial streams branching from individual direct heat exchangers whereby the residual is the heat exchange impairing gas component. The control itself of the discharge of the exhaust gas from respective stations is effected similarly as in the preceding example described in connection with FIG. 2, only with the difference that instead of the temperature difference the value of concentration of the gas component is employed as the controlling magnitude. It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above. While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a device for conditioning sludges, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can by applying current knowledge readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.

The only thing good about Dr Victors office is his prenatal nurse Cinnamon she is amazing! If you are sick as a dog during pregnancy do not expect Dr victor to take you off work because it is NOT going to happen you pretty much have to be bleeding for him to write you off..

I have heard that Dr. Victor was a good doctor years ago but he has really slipped. When I go to him he does look at his computer because he is doing the paperwork while you are there instead of later. I don't think he should do it that way. I prefer a doctor who looks at me. I asked to have my blood pressure checked and he told me I could go to Shoppers or Walmart and do it at one of their machines. REALLY??? Went in for a severe flu that I had for 2 weeks - sore ears, runny eyes, bad cough, fever etc. He looked in my throat and ears - said it was a flu and he would not give me anything. Next day went to another doctor - and had throat infection, ear infection and chest congestion. Put on antibiotic and was better within 2 days. I really do like this doctor but I think he needs a break. He has lost compassion and perspective. Can Doctors go for a refresher?

This doctor is fine If you have something minor and straight forward that even the clueless of people could understand. I've been seeing him for years and I am one of those people that only goes to the dr. when I really feel like something is wrong and so I really need my dr. to listen to me and take me seriously. This dr. will barely even look at you while you are speaking and basically spits back a prescription without even asking any questions to get to the route of the problem. He quite honestly scares me! I went to see him while I was pregnant and it took him six months before he could find a heartbeat. Then towards the end of the pregnancy when he was doing the regular belly measurements, I asked if he knew approximately how big the baby was and he looked at me and said "OF COURSE I KNOW" and then didn't say anything after.......... so I guess he thought I was questioning him somehow but he was adamant that he had an idea of how big the baby was but of course he didn't share that information and by the way he responded to me, I wasn't about to ask. Just pure ridiculousness! I'd have more confidence in a chimpanzee to give me a proper assessment. I know that sounds horrible but its really an accurate observation in this case!

Went to see him at the walk in clinic today and he basically said he didn't understand why I was coming to the walk in for chest pain and not my family doctor. He only half listened to me and then said that he didn't understand what my symptoms could be the result of and angrily wrote me a prescription for muscle relaxants and pain killers and walked out to see the next patient. Horrible bedside manner and complete lack of insight into my case. I hope I never see this doctor again

I saw him at a walk in clinic.. He basically just yelled at me for not having a family doctor.. I told him I dislocated my shoulder over the weekend and had another doc relocate it..

I was being treated for Excess stomach acid which I did I not have. Repeatedly told him the medication is not working. After passing out and went to the E.R. I found out I had Stomach Cancer and bleeding internally. So for 8 months he told me the lost of energy , stomach pain, my heart slow down ect. was a side effect the disease of excess stomach acid. I had only half my bleed in my body when I pass out. Good thing my wife said we are not going to him and went to the R.E. Don't play with your life find another doctor.

In the 1960s, the then-abstract painter Philip Guston said, "We are image-makers and image-ridden." It should be no surprise then that the artist shifted styles in 1970, exhibiting new figurative works at the Marlborough Gallery in New York.
A prominent member of the NY School of Abstract Expressionists during the 1950s and 60s, Canadian-born American Painter Philip Guston (1913-1980) was later known for his strong figurative work. Guston created this lovely work just two years after painting his social realist pièce de résistance, "Gladiators" (in the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and currently on view). During this period, and fueled by the WPA's Social Realism as well as Picasso's 1940 New York Cubist exhibition, both realist and abstract influences challenged and inspired American artists. During this period, the influence of Rivera, Orozco and Siqueros can be seen in Guston's mural work in his organization of figures in space as well as his use of thin layers of paint during this period. By the late forties Guston's figuration was disappearing and within ten years he was painting purely abstract works, along with the other NY School Abstract Expressionists who exhibited with him at the "9th Street" shows, and later at the Stable Gallery.

The killing of a cabinet minister in western Afghanistan has sparked some of the fiercest factional fighting in years, leaving as up to 100 people dead.
Afghan Defence Minister Mohammed Fahim demanded an immediate ceasefire and ordered Afghan soldiers to restore calm to the western city of Herat.
The Government has been rocked by the killing of Mirwais Sadiq - the second aviation minister, and the third top figure to die violently in office.
Presidential spokesman Khaleeq Ahmed said Mr Sadiq was shot on Sunday in his car in unclear circumstances.
However, a top Herat military commander, Zaher Naibzada, said his forces had killed Mr Sadiq in a confrontation at the commander's home.
Fighting then erupted in the battle for control of military barracks.

Adisucipto International Airport is a small air hub serving the Yogyakarta Special Region of central Java. It is also a gateway to the historic Prambanan temple site and the cultural glories of the region, expressed in the area's famous, traditional Javanese batik, music, dance, poetry, fine art and puppetry. After Bali, Yogyakarta is the most-visited of all Indonesian destinations, with most visitors arriving at Adisucipto International Airport.
The facility became an international air hub as recently as 2004, although local geographic events were less than kind to it for the following six years. In 2006, an earthquake badly damaged its facilities, causing a brief closure and the subsequent construction of a new Domestic Terminal. In 2010, the eruption of a nearby volcano sent volumes of ash into the air, disrupting flights. Of note, international flights from Yogyakarta were discontinued in 2006 due to lack of interest, but reopened in 2008 with AirAsia's Kuala Lumpur service.
Nowadays, the facility offers flights to Singapore, as well as an expanded Kuala Lumpur service (both provided by AirAsia), plus a good number of domestic and regional flights operated by national airline Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air and several budget carriers. More than four million passengers now use this airport every year, resulting in frequent upgrades to its amenities.

The complex is located right on the Jalan Raya Yogya-Solo, the expressway leading from Yogyakarta to Solo city. Turn left on to the highway after exiting the airport and continue through the Depok township, heading west. Follow roads Jalan Raya Yogya-Solo, Jalan Laksamana Adi Sucipto and Jalan Urip Sumoharjo, and then follow the signs to the city centre. The drive takes around 20 minutes.
DAMRI shuttle bus services run to the city centre, the railway station, the bus station and a number of hotels. The municipal bus rapid transit system, Trans Jogja, also covers the airport, with buses running to the Expo Centre, the Prambanan and Giwangan bus terminals, and the Gadjah Mada University campus. Hotel or shared shuttles are other options. You should allow around 30 minutes for most bus journeys.
A subway connects arriving passengers with the airport's brand new Maguwo railway station. Here you can take advantage of the speedy Prambanan Express rail services to Yogyakarta and Solo, its twin historic city some 66 km / 41 miles away, among other destinations.
Taxi services from this complex work on a voucher system, with passengers required to purchase a voucher for their journey at a desk in the Arrivals area. Fixed prices per destination apply, thus successfully avoiding scams, pirate taxis and the unwanted attention of taxi touts. Private transfers by car and driver can also be booked and these include a meet and greet service by a bi-lingual representative.

Smudge Numbers and Grids
Por Magmentis Ltd.
Abre Mac App Store para comprar y descargar apps.
Already proven in the classroom to learn:
• Developing Geographical Skills
• Developing Mathematical Reasoning
• Use everyday words to describe position
• Describe the position of objects and direction
• Follow and give instructions using position, direction and movement
• Use four compass points to describe movement about a grid
• Primer for spreadsheet work in later life
Numbers and Grids will help children to learn about grids/tables and co-ordinates. It is a key skill for children to know, and one that isn't covered by many apps. Children will use co-ordinates in graphs and charts, in mathematics, and they are also used in geography and maps, on GPS devices and of course in IT when using spreadsheets. Co-ordinates are a very important mathematical skill for young children to have, and to build on as they grow, and that is why the topic is part of the curricular used in schools.
The app features four bright, colourful interactive activities animated by Smudge the puppy, to introduce the use of co-ordinates, Numbers and Grids, using points of the compass to children aged 5 years and above:
It starts with Move Smudge, where children need to read the directions and direct Smudge the puppy, to her bone. In Identifying Locations, children are prompted to type in the grid position of geographical items on a grid, and in Place Objects, objects need to be dragged and placed at locations on the grid. Finally in Compass Directions, the objects are placed on the grid, and children will be prompted to enter the names of the objects at the different locations.
Numbers and Grids is designed so that every time an activity is used, the objects are completely mixed up, so it isn't predictable, and it can be tailored with three levels for different ages or abilities. Answers are recorded, to track progress and the software always encourages positive feedback and ecouragement throughout its use.
Numbers and Grids is designed for use both at home and in schools; joining Magmentis' growing range of apps, which includes the popular titles Writing Numbers and Fill the Gap. The team at Magmentis have many years experience in producing educational software for use in schools and at home.and have been producing apps since 2010.

Time is short. Everyone, try to find peace. And set things right with the ones you love. Thanks Obama voters. [/quote] Remeber god controls everything, so in fact we never really had a choice. Every aspect of our lives is nothing but a giant illusion. God did creat this planet and nature but this is all a test. Everything else is nothing more then a illusion that satan stole from heaven and has tried to copy here in heaven. our schools are a lie, everything you think you know is a lie. We must only spread love, forgivnes, and truth to everyone in these end of times. i feel so lucky and unworthy of god but jesus loves us more then anything. he died so we can see god. We are the only creatures god will even let close enuff to him to see this light and for that i still hope im worthy enuff in my life to see god. i know he has a path for us all and he will never turn his back on any of you, its never to late to love god, ask your debtors for forgivness and to forgive every1. This world is ran by lucifer and his legion of satanist and demons and this is truly sad. If god would let me sacrafice myself to save all of you i would in a heartbeat but i know he would not do this. But instead all we can do is spread truth, love, forgivness to each other and maybe we can break the chains that bind these lost souls to the darkness. Maybe out light could illuminate there dark souls enuff to see the truth. i can only pray. love and god bless you all. [/quote] I give back to you LOVE..your are very much worthy..You have learned the truth meaning of this school,,/bully's will not be allowed to enter the new kingdom..this world will be very surprised as to who Jesus was and how much he did for this world and the whole universe..He is the first and Last..We are all trust unto this great being..Thank you for love when no one cared to show it to you..I will see you in the new kingdom...Keep working and the creator will give you the keys to this new kingdom... [/quote] thank you op, thanks for your hard work to helping spread truth and love. [/quote]

We have the /opt/zimbra/store and /opt/zimbra/backup symlinked to a 2.7 TB Xserve RAID configured with RAID5. No problems or complaints to speak of in the past six months of use.

We have the /opt/zimbra/store and /opt/zimbra/backup symlinked to a 2.7 TB Xserve RAID configured with RAID5. No problems or complaints to speak of in the past six months of use.
About 35 active users and 110 GB of mailbox storage.
Cool thanks for the info everyone. As long as the symlink works we should be fine. You said you have 35 users and about 110gb of mail..... my company only has less than 60 users and only about 12 gigs of mail so it's really not that much. We are slowly growing, but it's taken about 4 years to get up to that 12 gigs of mail so I think I'm safe. :)
I have both my mailstore on /raid5 and I have my backup symlinked now to /raid5, I'll post my performance results with that setup when the backup runs again overnight tonight. Thanks again.
:) this would mean a lot more if you had the exact same setup backing up to a non-RAID5 partition to show the performance difference ;) ... either way I'm sure everything will be fine. I've been through multiple tests of the same types of things when setting up current SAN's and threw more complications into it doing vertical stripping through multiple levels of RAID and having logical storage (and managed disk groups) behind SVC's (SAN Volume Controllers).
I dont think anyone would debate that it's not possible or negligibly noticable regarding performace, but for sheer I/O and write cost overhead, typically RAID 5 (by it's nature) is not the best choice for writes.
That being said there is a LOT more to consider when choosing a storage or parition creation methodology (all of which have nothing to do wit this thread). As previously mentioned, for some the performace is non-intrusive so it doesn't matter.
Well my OS and the zimbra core files are loaded up on a Raid 1+0 consisting of 2 15,000 RPM 36GB HDD's. The Raid5 array where I have the mailstore and the backups located on consists of 15,000 RPM 72GB HDD's. I'm trying to get approval to purchase another server so I can create a test lab for myself and try out some other raid types. Currently most of my raid experience is raid5 so I usually stick to that when I can because it's easy to setup.
Easy to set up and has is typicallly rock solid when it comes to an admin's ancient adversary ... hardware failures :D (depending on what hardware fails) ... seriously the larger solutions are great and work incredibly well but justifying the $$ sometimes, even with a good argument isn't always easy :(

If I have some data set $ D={X_1,...X_N} $ and have an esitmator be "pick the first point" $X_1$, how can I show that this estimator is unbiased? I also have to show why its highly undesirable, and I would assume it uses some variance/convergance argument. I would like some help proving that the estimator is indeed unbasied and in finding its variance.
Take the 2-minute tour
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If every $X_i$ has mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$, then the estimator $Y=X_1$ is such that $\mathbb E(Y)=\mu$ and $\text{var}(Y)=\sigma^2$. Proof: $Y=X_1$. End of proof. The fact that $\mathbb E(Y)=\mu$ may be seen as desirable if $Y$ is meant to estimate $\mu$, the fact that $\text{var}(Y)=\sigma^2$ less so if another estimator $\widetilde Y$ is such that $\mathbb E(\widetilde Y)=\mu$ and $\text{var}(\widetilde Y)\lt\sigma^2$, even less so if $\text{var}(\widetilde Y)\ll\sigma^2$. You probably have an idea for some of these other, more efficient, estimators $\widetilde Y$. |

Market Reports
Morning Gold & Silver Market Report – 3/20/2012
U.S. stock futures and commodities (including precious metals) across the board are trading lower this morning. Peter Cardillo of Rockwell Global Capital said, "I think it's just a normal pullback on weaker commodity prices due after a long run-up (in stocks). Housing data could cushion a U.S. decline, but stocks are likely to take a breather for a day or two." Cardillo said he also expects more upside in stocks as investors switch to riskier assets such as equities.
The housing data isn't likely to cushion the fall of U.S. stocks today. The Commerce Department reported that housing starts for February fell 1.1 percent, after it revised January's numbers slightly upward. Analysts expected a rise in housing starts, but the main increase came in permits for new construction, which typically is seen as a gauge of future demand. Housing data is viewed as a key indicator of a country's economic condition. Precious metals prices were largely unaffected by the news.
Historically, the Gold price has held a mostly positive correlation with oil prices. Oil prices have been on the rise lately amid tensions between Iran and the West, and the chief executive of Shell said he believes that trend will continue. Peter Voser said, "Longer term, you will see demand rising and … in the very long term, we will see prices going up because of high demand and as it gets more expensive to get the resources out of the ground." He warns that higher commodity prices could hamper the economic outlook, which is something important to monitor.
At 8 a.m. (CDT), the APMEX precious metals spot prices were:
- Gold - $1,647.90 – Down $20.70.
- Silver - $32.24 – Down $0.76.
- Platinum - $1,661.50 – Down $24.20.
- Palladium - $697.60 – Down $10.00.

At 010400C FEB 07, a 2-2/7 IA dismounted patrol, with an embedded Marine MTT, was attacked with an IED and discovered (1) PIED IVO (38S KC 57924 85446), 1km N of Hadithah, while moving N along ASR Boardwalk. (1) Marine in the patrol was investigating a suspicious rock pile when he saw a spark from within the pile. The Marine immediately backed off and warned all others in the patrol to back off. Approximately (5) seconds later there was an explosion from under the rock pile.

Thousands across the Lone Star State celebrated a significant anniversary Thursday.
Juneteenth is the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in Texas.
For the first time, the annual festivities were hosted at the G.V. Daniels Recreation Center – instead of Stevenson Park – in Abilene.
Abilene Mayor Norm Archibald spoke at the celebration.
There were plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy. A craft table was set up so they could create their own Juneteenth Flag.
Nelson Wilson, co-chair of the Juneteenth committee, said the day is an important reminder for us to learn from the past.
"It's really for the education part," Wilson said. "You heard the story that (a speaker) just told us about the slaves being freed and the legacy that's been passed on. Our young people are not aware of what has really transpired. They do not understand what the holiday actually means."
Brownwood is scheduled to host its own Juneteenth Celebration this weekend. It will be held at the Bennie Houston Community Center and Cecil Holman Park on Friday and Saturday.

Oh, Kat Von D! We feel bad for you, but we can't say that we are the least bit shocked by your recent revelation that ex-fiance Jesse James cheated on you with at least 19 other women throughout your relationship.
At least you are not alone. Demi Moore just announced her decision to divorce hubby Ashton Kutcher after a cheating scandal rocked their marriage last month and they were unable to recover.
We were all shocked (shocked!) when we heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger's affair with his Guatemalan housekeeper Mildred Particia Baena. His wife, Maria Shriver, seems determined to get a divorce, while Baena has remained silent and kept herself out of the public eye.

Looking for a name for a third triplet.
(82 Posts)If all girls we have decided upon Dolly and Hattie and would quite like the third name to be a "thing" something visual to match the other names but we're stuck as we're not too keen on Floral names (apart from Rosa)
I am posting for the first time on my friends log in and feel slightly cheeky that my first contribution is a question rather than a reply.
I will be checking this post later tonight and hope there will be some response. Thanks for reading.
(but they do all end in the sound ee then)
Are you sure you want 'matching' names, iyswim? Maybe instead of rhyming names, something a bit less close so they're more individual? (just an opinion, hope you're not cross)
Beatrice shortened to Bea? (as in Bee)
Foods? Cherry. Coco? (not keen myself, but just suggestions)
Do you mean you see the name Hattie as looking like a hat? INteresting way of looking at it.
Stella is latin for star.
What about a colour, like Scarlett? Violet?
I agree with Hecate.
Are you convinced about Hattie - sorry, but it always makes me think of Batty Hattie.
Harriet is lovely and gives you (and she) the option of a more "formal" name later in life.
Sapphire, sticking to jewels
Not sure about the something visual idea (seems a bit weird to me - who wants to be named after a hat?) but I think you need something with the same end sound to the others and also quite traditional sounding.
Tilda (rice - har)
Can I be blunt please. It think that having three names with the same end sound is horribly twee.
It will also mean that when you call one of them, they will all ignore you because they will all think you've shouted to one of the others because they've only heard the last sound. It will drive you bonkers .
Bit too visual maybe.
Seriously, I like Dorothy and harriet. Am racking brain for another similar thing.
Winnie springs to mind. Although I'd prefer you didn't, because I want it for my next baby
Thank you very much for the info.
It may sound silly but I want to be able apply something visual to their things/clothes but only some of the time. I forgot to mention that Hattie would be Harriet and Dolly would be Dolores which is an old family name.I hadn't considered Stella which I think is very pretty and I love stars.For boys I like Rowan/Joshua/Bay, again easy to apply visuals.Some may think it naff but I think it will be sweet.
How about Rosemary?
or Aurora?
You stick with your idea, triple. I like it
Stones: Ruby, Amber, Jade, Pearl, Emerald, Gem(ma)
Places: Georgia, India, Atlanta, Oceana, Sienna, Florence, Savannah
Weather: Storm, Summer, Rain
American names: Brook, Taylor
If I wanted to obey your rules I would go for Florence. It is a lovely name. A stunning city. And it has lots of nicknames (Flora, Florrie, Flo).
I think it's sweet as well
You could have little coat pegs with a painted picture next to them, I always meant to do that for mine, like at primary school!
And have never got round to it not that they ever hang up their coats...
brooke, taylor, tim
Triplets, congratulations!!!
How is Joshua visual though?
yes I like it and let's face it, you're going to need to be able to tell them apart pretty easily
Ruby would be good and red easy to get hold of
I LOVE Dolores. Haven't heard it for years.
You could call the other one Grace and always dress her in posh dresses

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford runs afoul of unfair conflict of interest law
The conflict of interest law that could cost Toronto Mayor Rob Ford his job is overly narrow and should be fixed. But that doesn't justify his actions..
Comments | ? |
Report an Error |
Share via Email
The conflict-of-interest law ensnaring Toronto Mayor Rob Ford shares some of his faults. It's devoid of subtlety — more sledgehammer than scalpel — producing crude and lopsided results, devoid of moderation. That doesn't make for good leadership, or good law.
Under Ontario's Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, Ford's punishment for inappropriately voting to keep $3,150 of his own money in his pocket is the same as for a mayor illicitly promoting public deals for millions of dollars in personal profit. There's just one penalty: loss of office. And that's overly restrictive.
This doesn't in any way excuse Ford's conduct. Nor should it be a factor in weighing the appeal he is launching, hoping to overturn a verdict issued by Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland on Monday. The judge found that Ford blatantly broke the conflict-of-interest law when he voted against returning some improperly raised donations that had been made to his charitable football foundation, back when he was still a councillor. The city's integrity commissioner had earlier ruled those donations inappropriate because people may have felt muscled into contributing, given Ford's political position.
In a devastating summation of Ford's actions, Hackland said he had inexcusably broken the rules, without bothering to familiarize himself with a politician's obligations under the law. The mayor even ignored a specific warning that he was in conflict and acted in what amounted to "willful blindness."
Under those circumstances, Hackland had no choice but to find Ford guilty of violating the act, and thus no alternative but to declare his seat vacant. The judge did give Ford a small break by suspending this order for 14 days, giving the disgraced mayor time to file an appeal and seek a stay of the ruling.
Along the way, Hackland also drew attention to the sledgehammer nature of the law. Ford's case didn't involve corruption, but there was still no alternative to giving him the boot. Hackland was concerned enough to echo a recommendation, put forward by a Mississauga inquiry last year, calling for a menu of sanctions from which judges could choose. In addition to loss of office, these include:
• Suspension from office for 120 days,
• Probation, under the supervision of the integrity commissioner,
• Removal from a committee of council, or removal as chair,
• A public reprimand by the judge.
Hackland is right to present these possible penalties. And Queen's Park seems receptive toward reform, although it's unclear when that might happen.
The existing law is too narrow and, as a result, its outcomes can be overly harsh. But a bad law doesn't excuse bad behaviour. If Ford didn't know, he certainly ought to have known what was at stake with his reckless conduct. In light of that, it's only proper he serve the existing penalty set out in the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, as unfortunate as that may be.
Until the act is changed, it remains the law of the land. All city politicians — high and low — need to respect it or pay the full price for their neglect.

Location and geography
Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, the province of Alberta is located between 60 degrees and 49 degrees latitude north along the Canada-U.S. border. Spanning 661,185 square kilometres (255,200 square miles), Alberta covers almost 7% of Canada's land mass. The diverse landscape includes mountains, glaciers, foothills, lakes, rivers, forests, badlands, wetlands and open plains. Approximately 90 per cent of Alberta is part of North America's interior plain, with heavily forested areas and peat lands in the north, grasslands in the south and parkland in the east and central areas. Some of the world's most important paleontological finds have been made in the badlands of southern Alberta near Dinosaur Provincial Park – a Unesco World Heritage Site. Mountains and foothills make up the western boundary of the province and include nearly half of the southwest corner of Alberta. Alberta is a landlocked province bordered by the Northwest Territories to the north, Saskatchewan to the east, the US state of Montana to the south and British Columbia across the western border of the Rocky Mountains.
Alberta is situated in the Mountain Time Zone (Greenwich Mean Time less 7 hours). Daylight Savings Time (GMT less 6 hours) is in effect between March and November.
Alberta's major cities
- Edmonton, Alberta's capital, is situated along the North Saskatchewan River with over 160 kilometres of multiuse trails and urban green space 22 times larger than the size of Central Park in New York City. The city originally started out as a trading post in 1795 and has seen prosperous times due to its position as a distribution centre for the western prairies, a stopping point to Canada's North and the pacific coast, the gold rush of 1898 and the discovery of oil in 1947. Edmonton is now a thriving metropolis of over 800,000 (2012) and home to many world renowned festivals, events and attractions. Edmonton is located at the geographic centre of Alberta and is a three hour drive north from Calgary and four hours east from Jasper National Park in the Rocky Mountains.
- Calgary, incorporated as a city in 1894, sits at the entrance to the Kicking-Horse Pass, one of the few passages through the sheer eastern wall of the Rocky Mountains. Located three hours north of the US-Canada border and one hour east of Banff National Park, Calgary is home to the head offices of many of Canada's largest corporations. From its beginnings as an oil and agriculture hub, Calgary has grown into a city of nearly 1.4 million in 2012 and has gained world fame hosting the 1988 Winter Olympics and attracting visitors to "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth:" The Calgary Stampede.
