Hi, I'd like to purchase, but I want to know if, and how I will be able to change the colors (or remove) the black background behind the nav. And some of the white lines in your design. They're nice, but don't suit my client's style. Can I change via css? thanks in advance
Hi arloo, Thank you for intresting in our theme! You can easely change color scheme in theme options.Look our theme demos with different scheme colors: http://themeforest.net/item/eldar-responsive-and-retina-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/5394648

Hello, Eldar is one page and Multi Page Template. For example here is a demo of Multi – Page: Link
I really like the sub templates on this onepager. is it easy to add additional menu slots ?
Hello, Yes, it's easy to create an additional menu, u need only to create element and set menu id number of it. (more info you can find in our documentation)
Having trouble with the gallery post type. Do you have any additional instructions for how to load and display images connected to that section?
Also, trying to have a 'news' page and an 'events' page and have each display only those posts within that category—excluding the others. Using the shortcode from the 'help' file does not seem to be working.

Hi, we really like this theme and are thinking of using it for our restaurant. But not sure how easy it will be for us to update our menus? Do we need to create a database? Is there an entry screen to update the food items? is it easy to access, and easy to use for non techies? Thanks
Hi shortstoponthenet! Editing menu in Wordpress it's really easy. Look WP docs: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide
In case you will have a problems we offer small customization for free, so for example we can install theme and add some basic datas like in our demos. Just send us a mail and we will speak about details.
Thanks for the reply. I was actually referring to the "menus" for the restaurant which change on a daily basis. We would need an easy to use method so that we can change the main dishes and specials.
Sorry we was thinking about WP menu For restaurant menu we have easy editor:
This theme looks good, but the coding is subpar. I required support to even get it up and going on my site (I've installed themes on hundreds of different sites and never had a problem), and while the support was good and they fixed my problem (something with external URLs, IDEK), it shouldn't be a problem from the beginning.
The character coding in the theme is completely off or missing – outside of the native worpress post/pages content box I can't use å ä ö, AND when I try to use the HTML codes for the characters – it writes out the HTML code instead of the character! Same when I tried to use an ampersand in a menu item – it wrote out a URL instead of "&".
There's no way to add your own CSS, so to edit something you have to dig pretty deep into the folder system on the FTP server.
As said, when I contacted the support they were good, but I shouldn't need to contact the support to be able to write the company name (containing åö) in the footer!
This theme needs to be rewritten before I can recommend it to anyone ever.
Hello Mbengga,
Many thanks for you review, most of all you sugestion we cant find while testing and we haven't get the same sugestion from other customers, but we will try to find and fix all of them asap also we work on new updates which will be ready very soon.

Hi there!, can you help me with this: - How can I make the images fit into the slide area? Thanks!
Hi! Probably problem is in size of original picture. Please send us mail with screenshot to skygothemes [at] gmail [dot].
And also please attach the purchase code, because unfortunately we don't see "purchased" mark near your nickname.
I purchased this template and I'm so disapointed! Impossible to do any changements in CSS, I have to pass in my FTP server and It never works! I have to wait 2 hours for… nothing. Impossible to change the css with wordpress i'm eject from the back office.
This is how to loose dayS of work.
Unfortunately i don't see "purchased" mark on your nickname. Please send me your purchase code and i will send you back upgrades which will give you possibility of adding addition css.
Best Regards.
It's "christophealcantara" My client have the password
Please send us mail and we will send you version with CSS edition from admin area.
When I go to the "editor" I'm eject from the back office.
I know how to do modifications, I made a <style> in php header… But really, 90% time it doesn't work.
Which "Editor", if "Editor" of theme, it's native WP functional so we can't know why you are ejected. Probably because of some permisson rights or any another WP installation issue.
We already send you an e-mail with updates where you can provide changes by changing theme options values.
Eldar theme options Appearence -> Misc settings -> Additional CSS – here you can put your CSS.
<style> in php header it's not a good way for make css customization for Wordpress engine.
For get fast response better way mail us via skygothemes [at] gmail.com
Best regards

The┬ĀNew England Patriots┬Āhave reached a contract agreement with free-agent defensive end┬ĀWill Smith, from the┬ĀNew Orleans Saints┬Āaccording to Mike Reiss and Field Yates from ESPN Boston.
Smith, visited the Patriots a month ago and got a lot of interest from Bill Belichick when he came out of the 2004 NFL Draft. Smith blew out an ACL last August and missed the entire 2013 season with the Saints but was already on thin ice as he was miscast as an OLB in Rob RyanŌĆÖs 3-4 scheme, implemented last year.
Smith does have 67.5 career sacks, good for fourth all-time in Saints history, but has had more than seven only once since 2006. He will also turn 33 this July and as such is far from a lock to make the final 53 man roster. He was due over $11.5 million in 2014 so the Saints letting him go was a no-brainer.
SmithŌĆÖs signing should in no way factor into the Patriots draft plans. Assuming he can still play and is completely healthy is a big IF at this point. But at 6ŌĆÖ3, 282, he is an intriguing veteran who the team hopes can have a career rejuvenation similar to what Andre Carter produced from them in 2011.
The Patriots still need rotational defensive ends with Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich each playing over 95 percent of the snaps in 2013. Former third round pick Jake Bequette has barely saw the field, Michael Buchanan, a 7th round pick in 2013 saw his playing time decrease as the season unfolded. Carter brought back has aged and wasnŌĆÖt as effective this time around.
Belichick loves his veterans especially along on defense and Smith may carve out a nice niche in the rotation as a situational pass rusher which may add a year or two to the back end of his career, but look for the Patriots to still address the defensive end position this weekend. This move certainly doesnŌĆÖt bode well for Carter returning and Bequette has to be on thin ice at this point as well.
Stay tuned to┬ĀPatsFans.com┬Āas weŌĆÖll be keeping readers up-to-date on all the free agency and draft news as it unfolds.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The settingsuburban Basingstokeis significantly posher than the South London flats of Beautiful Thing, though arguably more stifling. The protagonist, gangly 16-year-old Steven Carter (Ben Silverstone), is smart, reflective, and reasonably self-possessedhe clearly knows his way around a public toilet. (Shore plays a cruising scene for maximum cutesiness, scoring it to the Troggs' "Love Is All Around.") Steven's only confidante is his neighbor, Linda (Charlotte Brittain), who is, predictably, overweight and a source of comic relief. The fun starts when drooled-over jock John (Brad Gorton) turns out to be sexually confused, and open to suggestion: as Steven's feelings intensify, so do his frustrations at having to keep them private. He writes an anonymous coming-out manifesto, which sets up a very public, cathartic burst of truth-tellinghence the title. Which, in retrospect, makes most sense as an injunction to the well-intentioned but hopelessly glib filmmakers.
Wilde's script, which has a weakness for mild, snickering double entendres, is notable for its near-total reliance on archetypes. But, to be fair, Steven's predicament, for all its clichéd trappings, does ultimately feel real, and it's all down to Silverstone, a talented young actor who can effectively and economically convey surges of overwhelming, paradoxical emotion. It's as thoughtful and complex a performance as the setup allows, and by far the main reason to see the film.

I bought a book from Nokia Reading, but when I came to read it I found that instead I had downloaded a completely different book. My phone has the cover and the title of the book I originally wanted to buy, but when you come to read it, all of the content is from a Terry Pratchet novel.
I've tried putting the book into the archive section and downloading it again, but nothing is happening.
Any ideas on what to do?

Agents make empty threat to steer players away from hardliners
Nov 9, 2011, 3:13 PM EDT
In a lockout filled with — at times seemingly defined by — empty threats, this is my new favorite.
There are agents and players out there very frustrated with the hardline NBA owners. Understandably. Those are the owners who think even the 50/50 deal the sides are close to making is too soft a play. Guys who seem not to care about the games.
Which has led to a lot of rumblings like Alex Kennedy reported at Hoopsworld:
"I don't want any of my clients playing for Michael Jordan, Paul Allen, Robert Sarver, Dan Gilbert or Peter Holt," said one agent. "We won't sign with them, unless they're willing to really overpay. That's going to be the only way these hardline owners are going to land any free agents after the way they've handled these negotiations."
I call bull….
Money talks. The same way it talks in getting the lockout solved it will talk when the lockout ends and free agency opens up.
The first chance this agent has to get one of his clients a good payday in Charlotte or Portland he will push the player to sign. It's always about money and opportunity for players, not which rich guys sits in the luxury box (or courtside).
But go ahead and rant if it makes you feel better. That's what my five-year-old does.
- hail2tharedskins - Nov 9, 2011 at 3:35 PM
Not only is it likely an empty threat, it is also a stupid threat. At a time when the one of the sticking points for players is to have a system that allows players to move to lax paying teams without having to take huge pay cuts, this statement will just fuel the owners' desire to restrict tax paying teams ability to sign players thus forcing the players to sign with the same hardline owners or take a minimum deal. If players and agents are openly saying they will avoid a select group of teams it doesn't play well when you are arguing for a free market-based system.
- skids003 - Nov 9, 2011 at 4:28 PM
I agree with you and Kurt. These agents also get a percentage of their clients pay, and as greedy as many are, they'll take the highest contract they are offered. This threat is a joke.
- danielcp0303 - Nov 9, 2011 at 3:44 PM
Just get a damn deal done. I love basketball and I love the league…and please give me something to watch Monday – Friday.
- goforthanddie - Nov 9, 2011 at 3:48 PM
Yeah, the players are bargaining for more money, and this guy says he won't take big bucks from a billionaire. If he was my agent, he'd be fired real quick.
- kinggw - Nov 9, 2011 at 4:14 PM
He should be fired if he didnt want to take big bucks from one of the aforementioned owners, except thats not what he said. He is saying he would take money from the hawkish owners, they will just have to overpay.
- goforthanddie - Nov 9, 2011 at 4:39 PM
If his client wants the biggest payday, he will take the best offer, regardless. That's his job.
Having an agent say he's trimming down a client's "shopping list" = reducing a player's options. Which is exactly what the players are saying the owners are trying to do to them.

I've used this technique when I make fabric bags that are lined. I just make the top of the lining longer and turn it over to finish off the bag. I used to teach quilting (retired from teaching to do my own quiltis) and this technique always wowed my students.

This is how I bind some of my quilts, as well. Makes it SO much easier! You can, of course, make the binding as thin or thick as you'd like with this technique.

Newly signed Oakland Raider Gary Wilkins is attempting to make the team as NFL rookie mini-camps begin around the nation. Wilkins, went from Furman to the Raiders after being signed as an undrafted free agent, but his story started in Covington when Wilkins played for Alcovy under head football coach Kirk Hoffman. The Covington News spoke with Hoffman and asked about Wilkins as a player and a person in this exclusive Q&A.
Ayanna Wimbush sat down in front of the Alcovy mascot on Friday afternoon to sign her letter of intent to play basketball at Truett-McConnell College with her family next to her and her friends watching she put the pen to the paper and solidified her collegiate career in basketball.
One of Alcovy's best offensive weapons from last year is moving on to college. Tiger running back Kenyon Kelley will be playing football at Methodist College after signing his letter of intent on Tuesday afternoon.
Sydney Ziglar, Baylea Payne, Ryleigh Langford and Daphne Ramirez make up the four freshmen that helped propel Alcovy's girls soccer team to a No. 2 seed and a trip to the playoffs.
Camani Smith (Alcovy), Austin Kerbow (Eastside) and Joshua Howard (Newton) are the athletes of the week.
With most of the teams/schools off this week with Spring Break, here's a look at which teams have been the best with just a couple of weeks left in the season. The baseball playoffs are coming, but there are still some important region battles to take place some big games left to determine final playoff seeding. This is a ranking of how good the teams are so far based primarily on region play, competitiveness, non-region play and head-to-head matchups.
Similarly in terms of wins and losses, but different in terms of play, the Rockdale/Alcovy soccer boys/girls matches ended like they did last time – with Rockdale's boys winning and Alcovy's girls winning.
As the Lady Tigers continued to prove their dominance on the pitch, the boys solidified themselves as a team to be reckoned with in Region 2-AAAAAA when both teams finished their respective sweeps of Newton on Friday. Here are five notes from the game on Friday.
Page 1 of 1
It may be just the third game on the schedule, but for Alcovy's girls basketball team, revenge is on the docket.
In the eighth grade, Ashley Williams understood situations and making moves that Alcovy coach Kidada Holtzclaw was trying to get her Lady Tigers to make during high school practices.
The Alcovy High School football team may have been a decisive underdog in its Class AAAAAA first round state matchup at Newnan, but one thing was clear, the Tigers were determined to leave it all on the Drake Stadium field in the 38-0 season ending loss.
In its seventh year of existence, Alcovy is headed to the state football playoffs for the third time today, looking for its ever playoff win.
Alcovy finished up the regular season Friday night, and thanks to earning a playoff berth Nov. 2 has one more game to recover.
Sometimes you don't need to finish first to be winners and Alcovy's competitive cheerleading team proved that Saturday.
Alcovy did its part last week, now it will look to matchup against Lovejoy and await Druid Hills and Rockdale to determine its fate.
Alcovy was the best team in Region 2-AAAAAA this season, claiming the region title, and it showed in post-season recognition Thursday.
Alcovy shut down Rockdale and opened up a postseason berth in a 17-8 win at Sharp Stadium Friday night.
Alcovy couldn't hold on to a 14-point lead against Druid Hills Friday night and now have to wait for a possible playoff berth.
The Alcovy football team has been looking to get its offense on track all season, and with just four games left the Tigers scored their highest point total of the year netting 30 against Morrow last Friday. Now with the regular season reaching its closing point, Alcovy is finding an offensive rhythm.
The Alcovy girls' basketball team reached new heights in the 2011-12 season, reaching the Class AAAA final four and winning 25 games.
The Alcovy Tigers defeated the visiting Mustangs of Morrow high, 30-13 at Homer Sharp Stadium Thursday night.
Alcovy's impressive Region 2-AAAAAA championship season came to an end Thursday as Hillgrove won the decisive game of the best-of-three second-round matchup 5-0.
Alcovy will have to wait one more day to find out if its softball team can advance to next week's state finals in Columbus.

"IT'S LIKE SOMEONE did a demographic survey to see what might make techno work in Lubbock, Texas," offered a friend when I brought up this acclaimed U.K. duo. He's got a point. On their tellingly titled debut, Bath's Alex Gifford (who is credited in the liner notes for "general racket") and Will White ("drum set Sk8ing and additional general racket") crank up a techno that gives us everything, the same way the breakfast menu at an Embers might claim to do the same. Spy-movie samples, rhythmless dub effects, ham-fisted bass 'n' guitar sloptronica, and shockingly drab appearances by marquee rappers (The Jungle Brothers and De La Soul) all combine for a Campbell's soup of a mix topped off by a terrible acid-jazz lead single, "History Repeating," which has been plaguing clubgoers for months.
This is obviously a disappointment. On paper these guys should fare swimmingly in the post-Prodigy sweepstakes. They are by far the most garrulous band to come out of the U.K.'s Big Beat scene, where a fun-at-all-costs party sensibility defines a handful of bands that treat techno like rock 'n' roll without disguising it as the rock music the mainstream demands it become. Big Beat has already spawned the gold-plated, but overrated, Chemical Brothers and the wonderful Fat Boy Slim, whose smart, effortless Better Living Through Chemistry bit everything from the Who to Idris Mohammed en route to a mix that might have been the overlooked party gem of 1997.
Propellerheads are all about effort. Even the stuff that strives for exhilaration seems stiff. There isn't a track here that doesn't explode out of the blocks only to wind up in a flat-footed stagger. Rockers like "Take California" and "Bang On!" piddle with live bass and flailing noise guitar, only to wind up wallowing in the kind of post-Chili Pepper prattle that might work best on a Jock Jams soundtrack.
White's beat-boxing on "Number of Microphones" suggests they've done the prereq. courses in the hip-hop history that haunts such post-funk endeavors. Yet, when the above-mentioned Native Tongues MCs show up to add a little color, they seem to spend most of their time searching for a secret exit. The Jungle Brothers--who've been peppering their live shows with righteous speeches about the connections between hip hop and drum 'n' bass--would have been advised to wait for a Roni Size cameo before digging the new breed; on the funkless "You Want It Back" they're buried in guitar histrionics.
Put simply, this is heavy metal; and, just as the JBs couldn't save the new Van Halen if they wanted to, they can't save the next Chemical Brothers either.

Why hospitals aren't keen on nat'l gov't paying veterans' bills
More or less 20 years have passed since my wife Trinidad and I—now in the twilight of our lives—started consulting EENT experts. On June 16, 2011, my wife underwent cataract surgery on her left eye, for which we paid P10,000. When I came to know this amount was reimbursable due to my being a World War II guerilla, I sent a letter, requesting reimbursement of our surgical expenses, to the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO), Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City. This was on Mar. 19, 2012. In my letter, I enclosed the medical certificate and official receipt No. 0739 as supporting documents.
On June 7, 2012, Director Nona F. Legaspi of the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City wrote me requesting "a photocopy of the identification card of Mrs. Peteza or authenticated copy of our marriage contract to facilitate our claims." Forthwith I submitted all the required additional documents on June 25, 2012. But since then nothing has been heard of our claim.
On July 17, 2012, we visited a specialist in Legaspi City for a medical examination of our ears, and the findings were that my wife needed a hearing aid for her left ear, and I for both of my ears. My son Fermin, an engineer, paid P147,000 for the three hearing aids.
I decided not to ask anymore for reimbursement of that amount from VMMC considering that, based on experience, it takes years for that government body to act on such applications. Perhaps, the delay in reimbursing such expenses is one of the reasons accredited local government hospitals do not sign memorandums of agreement with the national government that would spare veterans the burden of paying their hospital bills directly.
A classic example is Ernesto B. Narido of Camarines Norte. Narido was made to pay more than P2,000 in hospital bills by the Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital despite showing his identification card, which PVAO issued to him as a World War II guerrilla-veteran.
I believe the reluctance of government hospitals is due to endless delays in the payment of veterans' hospital bills by the concerned national agency. What do the PVAO and the VMMC have to say on the matter?

text: If one were in a whimsical mood, one might describe the ABC sitcom In Case of Emergency as a warm-hearted comedy about a lovable gang of serious disturbed mental patients. All of the main characters had been friends since high school, and all had found it well nigh impossible to cope with the pressures and exigencies of adulthood. Jason Ventress (David Arquette) was a financial genius who, after, being sucked into an illegal corporate scam, proved to be a spectacular failure as a would-be suicide. Harry Kennison (Jonathan Silverman) was a divorced greeting-card writer who went ballistic upon discovering that his high school's ex-valedictorian Kelly Lee (Kelly Hu) was unhappily employed in a massage parlor. And Sherman Yablonsky (Greg Germann) was a diet guru who went on a disastrous eating binge after his wife walked out on him with everything they owned. Landing in the same mental-health facility at L.A. Westside Hospital, the five protagonists proved to be quite a challenge to overworked therapist Dr. Joanna Lupone (Lori Loughlin). Acting as something of a conduit to the outside world was Harry Kennison's son, Dylan, played by Jackson Bond. Incredibly, the series was inspired by the real-life experiences of co-creator Howard J. Morris and his lifelong friend Emile Levisetti. In Case of Emergency premiered January 3, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Astrophysicists Cast Doubt On Link Between Excess Positrons, Dark Matter
Study refines predictions of what may constitute evidence of elusive particles
Astrophysicists are looking everywhere "" inside the Large Hadron Collider, in deep mines and far out into space "" for evidence of dark matter, which makes up about 25 percent of the energy density of the universe.
Despite the recent tantalizing observation of excess high-energy positrons "" thought to be due to dark matter "" UC Irvine researchers say we're not quite there yet.
Models predict that when dark-matter particles collide, they'll annihilate some of the time into electrons and positrons, said Manoj Kaplinghat, physics & astronomy associate professor. Scientists working on a satellite experiment called PAMELA recently identified a large excess of positrons, causing a flurry of excitement about having detected dark matter.
Kaplinghat "" working with Jonathan Feng, UCI physics & astronomy professor, and Hai-Bo Yu, postdoctoral researcher "" evaluated the dark-matter explanation for the PAMELA finding. "What we concluded is that the detection of so many positrons makes it unlikely they're all from dark matter," Kaplinghat said.
The UCI study sharpens predictions of what scientists can expect to detect from the annihilation of dark-matter particles in our galaxy. While it shows that currently popular models cannot account for the excess positrons observed, it leaves open the possibility that discovery of dark-matter evidence could be right around the corner, perhaps within reach of current and planned experiments.
The UCI team's study was published April 15 in Physical Review Letters and is suggested reading by the editor.
Worldwide and at UCI, the hunt for dark matter is in full swing. In the 17-mile-long tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, scientists are smashing together subatomic particles at nearly light speed in a quest for insight into the nature of the universe.
In dark mine shafts, researchers are registering faint hints of subatomic particles that they surmise could be dark matter. There are satellite, balloon-borne and ground-based endeavors to find high-energy gamma rays, neutrinos and antimatter that could be signatures of dark-matter particles.
Success in these multipronged efforts would bring astronomers closer to identifying the invisible material that constitutes a quarter of the world and determines the architecture of the visible universe. And physicists would have the first evidence supporting the theory that all forces of nature can be unified under one mathematical expression.
"For now, we're left with no convincing dark-matter explanation for excess positrons," Yu said. "Data from the LHC and experiments deep underground, on the Antarctic ice and in space will throw more light on these issues in the next couple of years "" and perhaps we'll even detect the dark-matter particle."

I am more of a writer than an artist (but I'll still do my best with my art). When I was younger, I used to make up stories to match the pictures in the books I had. My grandmother told my mom to encourage my writing in every way she could. She did. I hope it shows in my writing.
She also trained me in art (she's a professional artist) and I hope some of what she taught me actually helps me with my drawings. I'll keep practicing and working hard so that someday I can be as good as some of the Deviants here.
My current occupation is adjunct professor; I'm currently working towards grad school so I can become a full-time professor...either that or a librarian. I just want to be surrounded by good books. What I'd really like to do for a living, though, is write...and I'm working on that one too.
Current Residence: A very cold and dark place called "the basement"

Sasol has exploration, development, production, marketing and sales operations in 38 countries across the world, including Southern Africa, the rest of Africa, the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Northern Asia, Asia, Southeast Asia, Far East, and Australasia.[4]
The Sasol group's structure is organised into four focused business clusters: South African energy cluster, international energy cluster, chemical cluster and other businesses.[5]
South African energy cluster[edit]
There are four areas that make up the South African energy cluster, namely: Sasol Mining,[6] Sasol Gas,[7] Sasol Synfuels[8] and Sasol Oil.[9]
The South African energy cluster comprises the businesses upon which Sasol was founded. It supplies around a third of South Africa's inland liquid fuel requirements.[10] In June 2014 the company entered into a joint venture with Eni to explore 82,000-km2 offshore of South Africa's east coast for hydrocarbons. Under the terms of the deal Eni acquired a 40% interest in the exploration permit and was handed operational rights.[11]
International energy cluster[edit]
Made up of two part, the International energy cluster comprises Sasol Synfuels International and Sasol Petroleum International.[5]
The international energy cluster is the driver of Sasol's international growth aspirations. Sasol Synfuels International supports the group's existing and future international gas to liquids (GTL) and coal to liquids (CTL) facilities. Sasol Petroleum International explores and produces upstream resources to secure feedstocks for Sasol's downstream technologies.[12]
Chemical cluster[edit]
Made up of Sasol Polymers, Sasol Solvents, Sasol Olefins & Surfactants, Sasol Wax, Sasol Nitro, Sasol Infrachem and Merisol.[5]
In South Africa, the chemical businesses are integrated in the Fischer-Tropsch value chain. Outside South Africa, it operates chemical businesses based on backward integration into feedstock and/or competitive market positions.[citation needed]
Other businesses[edit]
Sasol New Energy develops and commercialises new technologies, and implements and operates facilities based on these technologies, to pursue growth in power generation and low-carbon and renewable energy alternatives.[citation needed]
Sasol Financing manages the group's central treasury.[citation needed]
Sasol Technology focuses on research and development, technology management and innovation, engineering services and project management.[citation needed]
Major projects[edit]
North America[edit]
Sasol has granted final approval for a US$8.1 billion ethane cracker and derivatives plant and an integrated GTL and chemicals facility in Westlake, Lake Charles, Louisiana, is the largest foreign investment in the history of the State of Louisiana. "Once commissioned, this world-scale petrochemicals complex will roughly triple the companies chemical production capacity in the United States, enabling Sasol to further strengthen its position in a growing global chemicals market. The U.S. Gulf Coast's robust infrastructure for transporting and storing abundant, low-cost ethane was a key driver in the decision to invest in America". The ethane cracker will also be supported by six chemical manufacturing plants.[13][14][15][16][17]
ORYX GTL[edit]
The Oryx GTL plant in Qatar is a joint venture between Sasol and Qatar Petroleum, launched in 2007. The more than 32,000 barrels per day (5,100 m3/d) plant produces a combination of GTL diesel, GTL naphtha and liquid petroleum gas.[18][19]
The proposed Uzbekistan GTL project is a partnership between Sasol, Uzbekneftegaz and Petronas.[20][21][22]
This gas project came into operation in 2004, and is a joint venture agreement between Sasol Petroleum International, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), and the International Finance Corporation. Sasol is developing a 140 MW gas-fired electricity generation plant in partnership with power utility EDM.[23]
Fischer-Tropsch Processes[edit]
The Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (SPDTM) Process transform natural gas into energy and chemical products, including transport fuels, base oils, waxes, paraffins and naphtha.[24] The three-stage process combines three proprietary technologies. Natural gas is combined with oxygen to form a syngas which is then subjected to a Fischer-Tropsch conversion, resulting in waxy syncrude. Finally, this is cracked down to produce the end product.
The strength of the Sasol SPDTM process is not simply in the inherent quality of the three component technologies but more importantly how they are combined and integrated to increase efficiencies and optimise output. This integration is grounded in Sasol's 60 years experience in synthetic fuels production. The liquid fuels produced through its GTL and CTL technologies are high-performance, low-emission products. The synthetic GTL-based diesel is an environmentally cleaner burning fuel as it leads to a reduction in carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and particulate matter without compromising NOx emissions even when compared to European sulfur-free diesel.[25]
A high-temperature syngas conversion process is operated in Secunda in a series of 10 Sasol advanced Synthol (SASTM) reactors at high pressure with the aid of an iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst at about 350°C to yield primarily C1 – C20 range hydrocarbons. The process also produces water and oxygenated hydrocarbons which are then purified and marketed. The C2 stream is split into ethylene and ethane. The ethane is further cracked to yield additional ethylene which are then converted into polyethylene for the polymer business. Propylene from Secunda and Sasolburg plants are also converted into high-value products such as polypropylene, butanol, butyl acrylate and ethyle acrylate. The acrylates are used to make superabsorbent polymers which are use diapers. Through Proprietary technology 1-hexene, 1-octene and 1-pentene are recovered from the oil stream. International customers use these as co-monomers for making speciality grade polymers. Some of the higher olefins (C11 – C12) are converted into detergent-range alcohols.[26]
A low-temperature syngas conversion process is operated in Sasolburg based on an iron-based catalyst in fixed-bed tubular and Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate™ processes to produce mainly linear hydrocarbon waxes and paraffins. The syngas (mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) is also converted in methanol, butanol and ammonia. Ammonia is then further converted into nitric acid and ammonium-based fertilizers and explosives.
Tetramerisation: Make the impossible possible[edit]
In 1997 Sasol Technology Research and Development began research on the selective trimerisation of ethylene to hexane. This led to the development and patenting of 6 trimerisation catalyst systems. A groundbreaking innovation was made in 2002, with the discovery of a tetramerisation catalyst that could make 1-octene in high selectivity. This was considered impossible by international experts in the field. Construction of this first-of-a-kind plant in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is under way. The ready for commissioning date is August 2013.[27]
Natref Refinery[edit]
Sasol is also involved in conventional oil refinery. The Natref refinery was commissioned in Sasolburg in 1971. The refinery is a joint venture between Sasol mining (Pty) Ltd and Total South Africa (Pty) Ltd. Sasol Mining has a 63,64 percent interest in Natref and Total South Africa a 36,36 percent shareholding. The refining capacity of Natref to 108,500 barrels per day. Natref is one of the only inland refineries in South Africa. It was designed to get the most out of crude oil and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The refinery uses the bottoms upgrading refining process using medium gravity crude oil and is capable of producing 70% more white product than coastal refineries that have to rely on heavy fuel oil. Some of the products produced from the refinery are diesel, petrol, jet fuel, LPG, illuminating paraffin, bitumen and sulfur. Natref has been certified in terms of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.[28][29]
The incorporation of Sasol[edit]
South Africa has large deposits of coal which had low commercial value due to its high fly ash content. It was thought that if this coal could be used to produce synthetic oil, petrol and diesel fuel, it would have significant benefit to South Africa. In the 1920s, South African scientists started looking at the possibility of using coal as a source of liquid fuels. This work was pioneered by P. N. Lategan, working for the Transvaal Coal Owners Association. He completed his doctoral thesis from the Imperial College of Science in London on The Low-Temperature Carbonisation of South African Coal. In 1927, a white paper from the government was issued describing various oil-from-coal processes being used overseas and their potential for South Africa. In the 1930s a young scientist named Etienne Rousseau obtained an MSc from the University of Stellenbosch. His thesis was entitled, The Sulfur Content of Coals and Oil Shales. Rousseau became Sasol's first managing director. After World War II, Angovaal bought the rights to a method of using the Fischer-Tropsch process patented by M. W. Kellogg Limited and in 1950 Sasol was formally incorporated as a state-owned company as South African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation. Commissioning of the Sasol 1 site for the production of synfuels started in 1954. Construction of the Sasol 2 site was completed in 1980, with the Sasol 3 site coming on stream in 1982. The Zevenfontein farm house served as Sasol's first offices and is still in existence today.[25][26]
Coal Mining[edit]
To support the required economies of scale for Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) process to be economical and competitive with crude oil, all stages of the operations, from coal mining to the Fischer-Tropsch process and product work up must be run with great efficiency. Due to the complexity of the Lurgi gasifers used the quality of the coal was paramount. The initial annual output from the Sigma underground mine in Sasolburg was 2 million tons. Annual coal production from this mine peaked in 1991 at 7.4 million tons.[25] Today the majority of the gasifers in Sasolburg have been replaced with autothermal reformers that feed natural gas piped from Mozambique. Natural gas generates approximately 40 – 60% less carbon dioxide for the same energy produced as coal and is thus significantly more environmentally friendly. Gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology converts natural gas, predominately methane to liquid fuels.[25][26] Today Sasol mines more than 50 million tons (Mt) of saleable coal a year, mostly gasification feedstock for Sasol Synfuels in Secunda. Sasol Mining also exports some 2.8 Mt of coal a year. This amounts to approximately 22% of all the coal mined in South Africa. Underground mining operations continue in the Secunda area (Bosjesspruit, Brandspruit, Middelbult, Syferfontein and Twistdraai) and Sigma near Sasolburg. The new Thubelisha shaft will eventually comprise an operation delivering more than eight million tons per annum (mtpa) of coal over 25 years. The Secunda colliers form the worlds largest underground coal operations.[30]
In conjunction with the continuous improvement in the Fischer-Tropsch process and catalyst, significant developments were also made in mining technology. Coal mining at Sasol from the early days has been characterised by innovation. There are two basic methods of mining a coal stream, either through long-wall mining or you can use explosives or a continuous miner. Sasol experimented with long-wall mining methods from 1967 to 1980. Today Sasol is one of the leaders in coal mining technology and was the first to develop in-seam horizontal drilling (directional drilling) into an effective exploration tool and currently makes use of direction drilling technology. Working with Fifth Dimension, Sasol developed a virtual reality technology to help train operators in a 3D environment in which various scenarios can be simulated sound, dust and other signs of movements.[31]
Fischer Tropsch Reactor Technology[edit]
The initial reactors from Kellogg and Lurgi gasifiers were tricky and expensive to operate. The original reactor design in 1955 was a circulating fluidised bed reactor (CFBR) with a capacity of about 1,500 barrels per day. Sasol improved these reactors to eventually yield about 6,500 barrels per day. The CFBR design involves moving the whole catalyst bed around the reactor which is energy intensive and not efficient as most of the catalyst is not in the reaction zone. Sasol then developed fixed fluidized bed (FFB) reactors in which the catalyst particles were held in a fixed reaction zone. This resulted in significant a significant increase in reactor capacities. For example the first FFB reactors commercialised in 1990 (5 m diameter) had a capacity of about 3,000 barrels per day, while the design in 2,000 (10.7m diameter) had a capacity of 20,000 barrels per day. Further advancements in reactor engineering have resulted on the development and commercialisation of Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (SSPD) reactors which are the corner stone of Sasol's first of a kind GTL plant in Qatar.[25][26]
From Fuels to Chemicals[edit]
The fuel price is directly linked to the oil price and is thus subject to potentially large fluctuations. With Sasol only producing fuels, this meant that its profitability was largely governed by external macroeconomic forces that it had no control over. How could Sasol be less susceptible to the oil price? The answer was right in front of them, in the treasure chest of chemicals co-produced in the Fischer-Tropsch process. Chemicals have a higher value per ton of product than fuels.
In The 1960s ammonia, styrene and butadiene became the first chemical intermediates sold by Sasol. The ammonia was then used to make fertilizers. By 1964 Sasol was a major player in the nitrogenous fertilizer market. This product range was further extended in the 1980s to include both phosphate- and potassium-based fertilizers. Today Sasol sells an extensive range of fertilizers and explosives to local and international markets and is a world leader in its low-density ammonium nitrate technology.[32]
With the extraction of chemicals from its Fischer-Tropsch product slate coupled with downstream functionalization and on purpose chemical production facilities Sasol moved from being just a South African fuels company to become an international integrated energy and chemicals company with over 200 chemical products being sold worldwide. Some of the main products produced are diesel, petrol (gasoline), naphtha, kerosene (jet fuel), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), olefins, alcohols, polymers, solvents, surfactants (detergent alcohols and oil field chemicals), co-monomers, ammonia, methanol, various phenolics, sulphur, illuminating paraffin, bitumen, acrylates and fuel oil. These products are used in the production process of numerous everyday products made worldwide and benefit the lives of millions of people around the world. They include hot-melt adhesives, car products, microchip coatings, printing ink, household and industrial paints, mobile phones, circuit boards, transport fuels, compact discs, medical lasers, sun creams, perfumes and plastic bottles.[33]
In South Africa, the chemical businesses are integrated in the Fischer-Tropsch value chain. Outside South Africa, the company operates chemical businesses based on backward integration into feedstock and/or competitive market positions for example in Europe, Asia and the U.S.A.[33]
Social investments and sponsorship[edit]
Sasol devotes most of its sponsorship investment in South Africa to Sports.[citation needed] Among others, Sasol sponsors South Africa's national teams, including:
- The South Africans Women's Football team – Banyana Banyana[34]
- The South African Paralympics team[35]
- The South African Men's National Wheelchair Basketball team[36]
Sasol also sponsors the annual Sasol Rally,[37] the Sasol New Signatures art competition,[38] the Black Tie Ensemble,[39] the South African National Youth Orchestra,[40] and the Techno X Festival of Science, Engineering and Technology.[citation needed]
Environmental conservation programmes, on the other hand, focused on:
- Wild dogs, vultures and ground hornbills
- The support of educational programmes including natural history publications
- Birding related projects[41]
Sasol also supports the following corporate initiatives:[citation needed]
- Nepad Business Foundation
- Business Trust
- Black Management Forum
In 2009 Sasol agreed to pay an administrative penalty of R188 million as part of a settlement agreement with the Competition Commission of South Africa for alleged price fixing, in which a competitor alleged that Sasol was abusing its dominance in the markets for fertilisers by charging excessive prices for certain products.[42]
Sasol also had to pay a €318 million fine to the European Commission (EC) in 2008, which is about R3.7 billion, for participating in a paraffin wax cartel. Despite its indication that it would appeal the fine amount, the full amount had to be paid to the EC within three months of the fine being issued.[43][44]

So far, the newly developed memory garden has given all those involved with Tri-County something to be excited about. It was available for use this past weekend, and several residents were able to go out and enjoy it.
"My intent is that it becomes used all week for therapy and for families to spend time together. We are even going to have a grill out there." said Lovelace. "On Aug. 9, we are having a family picnic as an introduction to this garden. In time, we could open it up to more people; we may even hold services here such as weddings. Part of being a not-for profit organization is being available to the community for enjoyment."
While many rural nursing and rehabilitation centers are losing money annually, tri-county enjoyed substantial gains last year, a trend Lovelace hopes to see continue with the help of features like the memory garden that will serve to attract residents. Tri-county residents are already noticing the change; resident Edna Kenyon has a view of the garden from her room.
"It's nice to look out the window and see it, it's very beautiful and the flowers are so lovely, and every now and then you see some little birds," she remarked, "I like the gazebo; gazebos are something I've always liked. I watched the Amish men work on it, and it was very interesting."
Dorothy Bradley is another lucky resident with a room looking out at the garden.
"I like it because we are going to get to go out there, and it looks so nice with all the flowers." she said. "Especially when my daughter comes, she'll take me out there."
The memory garden is still in its infancy, and will continue to need the help of community members to grow and thrive. Anyone interested in donating to the 2009 memory garden fund should contact director of volunteers Jamie Reynolds at 251-2447.

The gel combs are made of aluminum and not plastic (i.e. they are durable and the teeth will not bend). When using aluminum gel combs, the gel will begin to solidify first around the teeth of the comb as aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, giving rise to well defined, crisp gel slots. The teeth of the gel combs are spaced to allow loading of the gel with conventional 8 channel pipettes. The teeth of the combs are also wedge-shaped; this makes it far easier to load the gel, especially if you are loading with an 8 channel pipette. It is quite difficult to load a gel made with conventional gel comb teeth with a multi-channel pipette as it is difficult to steer all the pipette tips into the narrow gel slots. With our gel comb, this is easy. The gel comb teeth are 3 mm thick at the top and taper down to 0.6 mm at the tip. The density of the liquid containing the PCR products that we load onto the gels is greater than that of the surrounding buffer so the PCR products will sink to the bottom of the gel slot. 0.6 mm is less than the standard 0.8 mm, (i.e. we get sharper bands).The wells formed can accommodate up to 10 ul of sample easily. The separation distance for each row is 25 mm, which is adequate for fragments between 50 and 1000 base pairs. The bottom row has a longer running distance in order to avoid depleting Ethidium bromide from the lower part of your gel. (Therefore, you do not need to have Ethidium bromide in your gel buffer only in the gel.)
We are widely using this instrument for HLA molecular typing. The kit we use comes with 96 wells (one sample corresponds to 96 pcr reactions).The UV-transparent tray and fluorescent, numbered grid facilitate accurate analysis of all samples. Because multichannel pipetting is possible with this unit, it also saves lot of time. The unique, compact design of the instrument allows for minimal use of agarose and buffer. The combs are of very good quality; they can be easily removed (i.e. without bending or disturbing the gel). This unit is not suitable if you have a small number of samples to process. I would suggest this apparatus for those labs which have to process very large number of samples in a short time.
The Gel System 96 (16 x 17.5 cm) effectively allows rapid separation and identification of various nucleic acids: DNA, RNA, PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides. When used with two or more sample combs, designed for multi-channel pipette loading, screening large numbers of samples can be easily performed.
This electrophoresis unit is quite expensive.
