No. 5,061,456, which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 07/089,344, filed Aug. 25, 1987 now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to apparatus which mixes two liquids, and specifically to such an apparatus which mixes and activates a liquid polymer with water to provide a diluted activated polymer of particular use in the treatment of water for various purposes.
Solutions in water of certain high molecular weight water soluble resins are of considerable technical use as agents for viscosification, solids-liquids separation processes, additives for drilling fluids, for assisting oil recovery from subterranean formations, etc.
It is becoming increasingly recognised that the efficiency in the applications of the polymeric molecules of which these resins are comprised, and therefore their economy of use, is a function of the conformation of the molecules in solution at the time of the application of these solutions to their respective substrates. Conformation includes such features as the dimensions of the molecules in their solvated state, their degree of entanglement, the extent of chain branching, their ionicity and the relative dispositions of polyion and counter ion. Such features are described in the papers by Muller in Polymer Bulletin 1984, pages 391-5, by McCormick in Polymer Engineering Materials Science 1984, pages 471-474, and by Casky and Primus in Environmental Progress, vol. 2 1986, pages 98-103, for example.
The above mentioned resins are sold as concentrates in various physical forms such as finely ground powders, beads, concentrated solutions gels, water in oil emulsions of gels, oil dispersions of powders etc. They may be synthetic or natural materials. The synthetic materials are typified by the water soluble homopolymers of cationic acrylates or methacrylates, salts of acrylic acid, salts of 2 acrylamido 2 methyl propane sulphonic acid, acrylamide etc. or copolymers involving such monomeric species, all of which at high molecular weight (i.e. above 100,000) have appreciable flocculating or viscosifying action which is a function of their conformation and bonding capability. Natural materials would be typified by water soluble polysaccharides and graft copolymers thereof with synthetic moieties, certain natural gums, polysaccharides of microbial origin, etc.
Many applications require the polymer to be applied to the substrate as a dilute aqueous solution, commonly 2% or less and more typically 0.5% or less. To this end, various devices have been proposed for effecting solution and dilution to the required level of concentration. In one such apparatus, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,113,688, solutions are prepared from a gel form of a synthetic polyelectrolyte. The machinery employed is critical to the final polymer properties and a two stage gel cutting and dissolving machine is described therefor. Various other polymer powder dissolving machines are sold which feature devices for intimate contacting of the powder with water to avoid clumping of polymer gel so as to avoid the necessity for extreme conditions of agitation which would otherwise damage the polymer molecules. Damage to polymer molecules by high shear rate conditions in solution is well known as exemplified in the paper by Nakano and Minoura in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1978, vol. 22, pp. 2207-2215.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,852,234, there is described an apparatus and procedure for dissolution by inversion of water in oil emulsions of polymers and gums wherein a water-surfactant mix of high turbulence as characterized by a Reynolds number of greater than 50,000, is contacted by the emulsion prior to passage through a static mixer. Maximization of "activation" of the polymer is said to occur not within the mixer but some time after the egress of the mix from the apparatus, presumably in a subsequent storage vessel. Here activation is defined in terms of maximization of viscosity after exit and also in terms of settling tests where the solution is to be used as a sedimentation aid.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,502, there is described an apparatus for mixing and feeding polymer dispersions and water, for the purpose of water treatments wherein high energy but low shear rate conditions are employed. This invention features a chamber containing a rotor which is designed to produce good polymer activation within a single mixing zone, with minimum damage to molecular structure.
It is well understood by those acquainted with the art of polymer activation that commercially available solutions of polymers or those concentrated solutions of polymers resulting from commercially available powder dissolution systems or those polymer dispersions which are inverse emulsions, vary considerably in the ease with which they can be diluted or, inverted and then diluted, as the case may be. Such factors rest on the viscosities of the above mentioned dispersions, on their coherence, their viscoelasticity and their osmotic tendencies.
It is further well understood that because of these properties, the dissolution and inverting actions cannot be undertaken without application of hydrodynamic shearing action. For this reason problems arise due to the balance between forces necessary to cause the dispersion of the concentrates and those which are regarded as excessive in relation to the fragility of the molecules and aggregates thereof, the size and conformation of which are directly related to optimum performance.
The problem is complex in that during the course of dissolution and activation of the polymers, change in the conformation of the polymer molecule takes place very rapidly. These changes in the conformation are outwardly manifested in a rapid rise in the viscosity and viscoelasticity of the solution.
As activation proceeds toward optimum, the polymer molecule becomes more extended and is subject to mechanical damage. If hydrodynamic conditions are maintained at a level (shear rate) that is adequate to assure initial dispersion and activation for too long a period after the molecular conformation begins to change then polymer degradation will almost certainly result.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a polymer activation method and apparatus which can uniformly mix polymer and water at a selected concentration at reduced cost.
Another object is to provide a polymer activation method and apparatus which effects maximum polymer activation of water while subjecting the polymer to a minimum damage to its molecular structure.
Another object is to provide a polymer activation method apparatus which produces dilute polymer to a desired concentration consistently and repeatably and is precisely controllable.
Thus, the invention provides a polymer activation apparatus for receiving polymer and water and for activating and diluting the polymer, comprising first means defining a first processing zone, second means defining a second processing zone, third means defining a first outlet means communicating said first processing zone with said second processing zone, polymer inlet means for supplying the polymer to said first processing zone, water inlet means for supplying water under pressure to said first processing zone, second outlet means in fluid communication with said second processing zone for carrying the activated and diluted polymer away from said apparatus, the force of the water under pressure supplied to said water inlet means moving the polymer through said first processing zone and into and through said second processing zone to said second outlet means, impeller means in said first means for moving the polymer within said first processing zone and in a direction away from said first outlet means to mix the polymer and the water for activating the polymer, means for rotating said impeller means, said impeller means constructed and arranged to subject the polymer to a high shear rate for a short contact time to initiate dissolution and activation of the polymer, and agitating means in said second means for further mixing the polymer and the water in said second processing zone, said agitating means constructed and arranged to subject the polymer to a lower shear rate for a longer contact time to further dissolution and activation of the polymer.
The invention consists of certain novel features and a combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various change in the details may be made without departing from the spirit, or sacrificing any of the advantages of the present invention.
For the purpose of facilitating an understanding of the invention, there is illustrated in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment thereof, from an inspection of which, when considered in connection with the following description, the invention, its construction and operation, and many of its advantages should be readily understood and appreciated.

Turning now to the drawings and more particularly to FIGS. 1-5 thereof, there is depicted a polymer activation apparatus incorporating the features of the present invention and generally designated by the numeral 10. The apparatus 10 is for use with a source (not shown) of concentrated polymer and a source of water. The apparatus 10 draws polymer from the source and receives water from the supply, mixes and activates the polymer and the water, and provides a diluted activated polymer of the desired concentration.
As will be shown, the polymer activation apparatus 10 comprises a multi-zone mixing chamber including a first processing zone in which the polymer and water are subjected to a high shear rate for a short contact time to initiate dissolution and activation, and a second processing zone in which the mixture is subjected to a lower shear rate to further the dissolution process and complete the activation. This particular two-zone processing arrangement optimizes the dissolution and activation of polymer without subjecting the polymer to excessive shearing conditions as could damage the polymer molecules. Subjecting the polymer molecule to a high shear rate is beneficial and necessary during initial contact of the polymer with water. As the aforementioned change in conformation takes place and dissolution begins, the polymer molecules become more fragile and the rate of application of energy has to be lowered to match that change. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, this is achieved through the use of a multi-zone mixing chamber with the first zone creating the high shear rate for a short period of time followed by a low shear rate over a longer period of time. In a particular embodiment disclosed, two zones are provided in a single housing with the first zone located below the second zone.
The polymer activation apparatus 10 comprises a frame 11 which is generally U-shaped in transverse cross section, as viewed in FIG. 4. The frame 11 includes a front panel 12 and a rear panel 13. The bottoms of the panels 12 and 13 are inturned and attached to a generally square base 14. A set of four feet 15 is attached to the inturned flanges of the panels 12 and 13. The polymer activation apparatus 10 comprises a polymer delivery mechanism 20, the basic element of which may be a non-gear type pump 21. The pump 21 includes a totally enclosed pump drive with no exposed moving parts and is capable of moving highly viscous materials such as concentrated liquid polymer. The output of the pump is pulsating. The pump 21 has an end or head 22 that is particularly adapted to pumping viscous polymer. An operative embodiment of the polymer activation apparatus 10 incorporated a pump made by Liquid Metronics, Incorporated of Acton, Mass. and particularly its model No. BP31-76PB. Such pump is adjustable to enable selection of the rate of flow of the polymer from 0.04 gallon per hour to 4.5 gallon per hour at a pressure of 50 psi. Such pump has an adjustable stroke length and stroke frequency and operates on 115 volts AC. The head 22 has an inlet fitting 23 for connection by way of tubing to a drum or tank (not shown) containing the undiluted or "neat" polymer. The head 22 also has an outlet fitting 24 which is connected to one end of tubing 25, the other end of which is connected to a fitting 26. A valved port 27 may be incorporated into the head 22 for priming purposes. The stroke frequency is controlled by a knob 28 and the stroke length is controlled by a knob 29. The frequency is adjustable from 5 to 100 actuations per minute, each stroke pumping from 0.28-0.84 cc per stroke depending on stroke length. The knob 29 establishes the stroke length at any point between 10% to 100% of its maximum.
The apparatus 10 further comprises a water delivery mechanism 30 which includes an inlet port 31 for connection to a supply of water. Fitting 32 connects the inlet port 31 to a solenoid valve 33 which is normally closed. As soon as power is supplied to the apparatus 10, the valve 33 is opened and water flows through tubing 34 into a flow meter 35. An operative embodiment incorporated a flow meter 35 made by King Instruments, Inc. of Huntington Beach, Calif. It has a knob 36 to control the rate of water flow from 0.25 to 10 gallons per minute.
The apparatus 10 further comprises a mixer 40, the details of which are best seen in FIGS. 6-8. The mixer 40 comprises a cylindrical vessel 41 defined by a generally cylindrical barrel 42 and square top and bottom walls 43 and 44. The barrel 42 is preferably formed of clear acrylic so that the operator can observe the interior and thus know whether any malfunction is occurring. The bottom of the top wall 43 and the top of the bottom wall 44 have respective circular grooves 43a, 44a therein with a diameter equal to the diameter of the barrel 42 and respectively receiving O-rings 45 therein. The ends of the barrel 42 are located in the grooves in contact with the O-rings 45. A suitable clamping means (not shown) is provided to clamp the barrel 42 between the top wall 43 and the bottom wall 44, to compress the O-rings 45 so as to define a liquid-tight chamber 50 inside the vessel 41.
Located within the chamber 50 is a check valve 55, which defines a polymer inlet for the vessel 41. In an operative embodiment, the check valve 55 was supplied by Circle Seal Corp. of Anaheim, Calif. The check valve includes a valve body 56 having one end 56a formed with a valve seat 57 which is engaged by a valve member 58. The other end of the valve body 56 fits within a vertically oriented bore 59 in the bottom wall 44. The bore 59 communicates with a polymer inlet bore 60, which is horizontally oriented. The outer end of the bore 60 is threaded and receives the fitting 26 on the end of the polymer pump outlet tubing 25. The check valve 56 enables the polymer to be admitted into the chamber 50, but precludes reverse flow of the liquid back into the polymer source when the pump is deenergized.
The bottom wall 44 defines a further vertical bore 61, defining a water inlet for the vessel 41, which communicates the lower end of the chamber 50 with a water inlet bore 62 which is horizontally oriented. The water inlet bore 62 receives an outlet tube 35a of the flow meter 35, suitable fluid sealing means 35b is provided between the surface of tube 35a and the inner surface of the water inlet bore 62.
As shown best in FIG. 6, the polymer inlet, defined by valve 55, and the water inlet defined by bore 61, are located in the bottom wall 44 and aligned with one another, offset laterally relative to the diameter of the bottom wall 44. An impeller mechanism 70 is mounted for rotation in overlying relationship within water inlet 61 and polymer inlet 55, the impeller rotating clockwise as viewed in FIG. 5. This causes the water entering the vessel to sweep across the outlet of the polymer inlet check valve 55 on a short path after entry into the vessel. Thus, the water, which acts as the solvent is at its maximum concentration, when it attacks the polymer, also at its maximum concentration flowing out of inlet 55.
Referring to FIG. 8, the top wall 43 has an outlet bore 63 which extends vertically through the top wall 43 and located near the center therein, communicating with the upper end of the chamber 50. A drain bore (not shown) may be provided in the bottom wall 44 to facilitate draining of the vessel 41.
The inlet of the flow meter 35 is connected to the tubing 34 and the outlet is connected to the inlet bore 62. Thus, water flows through the flow meter 35, through the bore 62, to the bore 61, and then vertically upwardly exiting into the chamber 50. Concentrated polymer is moved by the pump through the bore 60 and into the bore 59 where it moves vertically through the check valve 55 and exits into the chamber 50. The polymer activation apparatus 10 is a continuous flow process apparatus with the pressure of the water moving the polymer through the vessel.
A baffle 64, which is a circular plate-like member, is mounted within the vessel 41 near the bottom wall 43 dividing the chamber 50 into a lower portion or zone 65 and an upper portion or zone 66. The outer diameter of the baffle corresponds to the inner diameter of the barrel, and the baffle has a central aperture 64a which provides the outlet for the lower zone 65 of the vessel, communicating a fluid flow path 69 at the top of the lower zone 65 with the upper zone 66. The baffle and its central aperture 64a which forms the outlet of the lower zone 65, causes retention of the polymer in the lower zone 65. Baffle 64 defines the uppermost part of the high shear zone thereby confining that zone and hence contributing to the intensity of turbulence which is created by impeller 70. The baffle 64 is supported above the upper surface of the bottom wall 43 by a pair of hollow spacer tubes 67 which are interposed between the baffle and the bottom wall and held in place by long bolts 68 the shanks of which pass through the tubes 67 and have threaded ends received in tapped apertures in the upper surface of the bottom wall. In one embodiment for the vessel 41 which was constructed, the lower zone 65 comprises approximately twenty per cent of the volume of the chamber 50 and the upper zone 66 comprised the remaining eighty percent of the volume of the chamber 50. However, other proportions for the zones may be used, such as one-third of the volume for the lower zone and two-thirds of the volume for the upper zone. Also, although the baffle 64 defines only two zones, further baffles may be provided to define additional mixing zones within the vessel 41.
Referring to FIGS. 8-10, the mixer 40 also comprises an impeller mechanism 70 located in the lower zone 65 to mix liquids introduced into the chamber 50 and an agitator embodied as a further impeller mechanism 80, located in the upper zone 66. The impeller mechanism 70 includes four fins 71, a top plate 72 and a bottom plate 73, the fins extending outward radially from the shaft 74, each being at right angles with respect to adjacent fins and being sandwiched between the top and bottom plates. The four fins 71 are secured by their upper and lower edges to the lower surface of plate 72 and upper surface of plate 73, respectively, in a suitable manner. The shaft 74 extends through the centers of the plates 72 and 73 and vertically within the chamber 50. The bottom plate 73 has a vertically extending aperture 76 therein through which passes the shaft 74 and the top plate 72 has an aperture 77 for receiving and securing the impeller mechanism 70 to the shaft 74. The diameter of aperture 76 in the bottom plate is substantially greater than the diameter of the shaft 74 defining a circular passageway at the bottom center of the bottom plate 73.
Each fin has a rectangular notch 71a in its lower outer edge and an aperture 71b thereabove. As shown in FIG. 8, the notch 71a affords clearance for the lower edge of the vane relative to the vertically projecting check valve 56. In addition, the notch 71a and the aperture 71b enhance movement of the fins through the polymer adding to the turbulence generated by the impeller as it rotates. The impeller is large relative to the lower processing zone 65 and as shown in FIG. 8, the vertically oriented fins 71 extend approximately half the vertical height of the zone 65. Thus, the fins 71 have a surface area corresponding to approximately one-half the vertical cross-sectional area of the lower zone 65. The top plate 72 is attached to the shaft in a suitable manner and extends in a parallel spaced relation with the baffle plate 64, defining the fluid flow path 69. As the impeller 70 rotates, the polymer is moved outward towards the wall 42a of the vessel, and thus, the impeller moves the polymer away from the outlet 64a which is located above the center axis of the impeller. When the polymer reaches the outer radial edge of the impeller, the dispersed polymer moves upwardly into the flow path 69 and is moved inwardly along the flow path 69 towards the aperture 64a for discharge into the upper zone 66. As has been indicated, the flow of the dispersed polymer is directed by the velocity of the pressure of the water being supplied to the water inlet 61 of the lower zone 65.
The lower surface 78 of the top wall 43 includes a vertical slot 78a in which the upper end of the shaft 74 is received, and the upper surface 79 of the bottom wall 44 includes an enlarged portions 79a and 79b, which receive, respectively, a mechanical seal 88 and a bearing 89 in which the lower end of the shaft is journalled. The impeller mechanism 70 is thus rotatably mounted in the vessel 41 about a vertical axis.
The impeller 80, which is located in the upper zone 66, includes three plate-like disc members 81-83, each having a central aperture 84 through which passes and whereby the disc members are attached to the shaft 74. The three disc members 81-83 are spaced apart from one another along the length of the shaft 74, with adjacent disc members 81,82, and 82,83 being spaced apart from one another by the same distance. When the shaft 74 is rotated, the disc members 81-83 move in open volume in the upper processing zone 66.
Each of the disc members, such as disc member 81 has a set of four radially extending grooves 85 in its upper surface, at right angles with respect to each other, and a further set of four radially extending grooves 86 in its lower surface, at right angles to each other, but offset 45� relative to the grooves 85 in the upper surface of the disc member 81. The grooves in the three disc members 81-83 increase the effective surface area of the disc members which contacts the mixture being processed in the upper zone 66. The slot depth is selected as a function of the amount of energy to be imparted to the mixture for a given shaft speed. The deeper the grooves, the greater the amount of energy which is imparted to the mixture. Although the grooves are illustrated as extending to a depth corresponding to about half the thickness of the disc member, it is apparent that due to the offset spacing of the grooves on the upper and lower disc member surfaces, the grooves could be deeper than half the thickness of the disc member.
In one embodiment of the apparatus 10 constructed, the diameter of the disc members 81-83 is 4 inches, the thickness of the disc members is 1/2 inch and the depth of the grooves 85 and 86 is 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch wide.
The polymer activation apparatus 10 further comprises a drive mechanism 90 for rotating the impeller shaft 74. Referring back to FIGS. 1-4, the drive mechanism 90 includes a motor 91 attached to the front panel 12 adjacent the upper end thereof. In an operative embodiment, the motor 91 developed 1/3 horsepower at 1,750 rpm. The motor 91 is geared down so that the impeller mechanism 70 operates at 400 to 1000 rpm. The rotating shaft of the motor 91 carries a toothed pulley 92 aligned with a toothed pulley 93 on the shaft 74 of the impeller mechanism 70. A toothed belt 94 engages the pulleys 92 and 93 so that operation of the motor 91 causes the shaft 74 to rotate. Because the two impellers 70 and 80 are carried by the shaft 74, they are rotated at the same speed. Power for the motor 91 is derived by wires in a conduit 97 connected to a switch box 98 having a switch 99. Cord 100 supplies power to the switch box 98 by way of a plug 101 which is inserted into an electrical receptacle such as a wall outlet. A cord 102 supplies electrical power to the switch box 98. Tubing (not shown) connects the outlet fitting 23 (FIG. 1) to the site at which the diluted polymer will be utilized. For example, it is contemplated that the drum of concentrated polymer and the polymer activation apparatus 10 will be located next to equipment which will deliver the diluted polymer into water to be treated.
In operation, with reference to FIGS. 1-and 8, the polymer activation apparatus 10 is placed near a drum of concentrated polymer, which may be highly viscous. Tubing connected to the fitting 23 is inserted into the polymer. A source of water is connected to the inlet 31. When power is applied, the solenoid valve 33 is automatically opened and water is delivered to the flow meter 35, irrespective of the condition of the switch 99. Accordingly, water immediately flows through the flow meter 35 and into the chamber 50, filling the same and exiting through the outlet bore 63 into the water treatment equipment (not shown).
When the switch 99 is operated to the "on" position, the pump 21 becomes energized and it withdraws the concentrated polymer from the drum and moves it through the tubing 25 and the bore 60 and through the valve 55 into the chamber 50. The desired concentration of the resultant product is determined by selecting the flow rates of the polymer and the water. In the case of the polymer, the knobs 28 and 29 are adjusted and in the case of the water, the knob 36 is adjusted. When the switch 99 is operated to the "on" position, this also energizes the motor 91, which rotates the impeller shaft 74 to drive the paddle-wheel impeller 70 and the disc member 80.
The polymer activation apparatus provides a continuous flow process, with the mixture moving through the vessel under the force of the water supplied under pressure to the water inlet of the vessel. In the lower zone 65 of the mixing chamber, the high-speed multi-blade paddle wheel impeller 70 subjects the polymer and water to a high shear rate for a short contact time. In the lower zone 65, water is the attacking medium. The high shear rate created by the impeller 70 drives the water into the polymer molecules while the molecules are not fragile, initiating activation and dissolution. This provides more uniform wetting of the polymer so as to avoid damaging the molecule as would decrease the usefulness of the polymer. The flow in the lower processing zone 65 is highly turbulent causing the polymer to begin dissolution and activation, water flow moves the polymer solution upwards.
The shaft 74 rotates the impeller mechanisms 70 and 80 clockwise (as viewed in FIG. 6), the polymer initially being directed down and beneath the impeller mechanism 70, upward through the central aperture 76 in the bottom plate 73, and into the space between the top plate 72 and the bottom plate 73. As the impeller mechanism 70 rotates, the polymer is moved outwardly radially away from the center of impeller mechanism to the edge of the impeller mechanism and is then moved upwardly into flow path 69 and along the flow path 69 to the outlet aperture 64a under the force of the water being supplied to the lower zone 65.
The polymer moves upwardly through the opening in the baffle 64 and into the upper zone 66 of the mixing chamber where the three slotted disc members are rotating on a shaft 74. The disc member 80 is a low energy device which imparts a lower shear rate to the mixture. The slots 84 and 85 in the disc members facilitate further mixing of polymer and water and move the polymer radially outward towards the side of the vessel. In the upper zone 66, dilute polymer is the attacking medium. The flat disc members move in open volume through the polymer and drag the polymer across the surfaces of the disc members and radially outward through the grooves. This results in lower shear rate mixing with flow through the upper processing zone 66 being characterized as laminar to mildly turbulent. The disc impeller 80 continues the dissolution and activation process in the upper mixing zone 66. The force of the water supplied to the inlet zone 64 causes the diluted polymer in the zone 66 to exit the mixing chamber 50 through the outlet bore 63, centrally located at the top thereof, and is supplied to water treatment equipment (not shown).
Of importance is the time that the water and polymer is retained in the two processing zones in the vessel 41. If the retention time in the lower zone 65 is too long, the polymer will have been exposed to the high shear created by the impeller mechanism 70 for an excessive period. This could cause the polymer to lose effectiveness. If the retention time in the upper zone 66 is too short, the polymer would not have an opportunity to be sufficiently activated to become effective. It has been determined that the preferred range of retention time in the entire chamber 50 is between 30 seconds and 7 minutes. In an operative embodiment, the volume of the vessel 41 was such as to be capable of holding 2.7 gallons of liquid. The rate of flow of the water was adjustable between 0.25 and 10 gallons per minute. At the 6 gallon per minute rate, the retention time in the lower zone 65 and upper zone 66 would be 6 seconds and 24 seconds, respectively. At the 0.5 gallon per minute rate, the retention time in the lower zone 65 would be 1.1 minutes and upper zone 66 would be 4.3 minutes.
A static mixer (not shown) may be interposed between the outlet 63 and the process to which the activated polymer is applied. In such static mixer, flow condition is essentially fully laminar, wherein gentle mixing conditions prevail and the degree of dissolution or activation, that is to say the reduction of entangled polymer chains or coils and the general conformational characteristics of the polymer, are brought to an optimum with respect to the intended application. This step may be assisted by additional ingress of water such that the polymer need not be diluted further prior to its application and in general the exiting polymer solution strength will be in the range 0.01 to 0.4% and most preferably within the range 0.05 to 0.2%.
It will be appreciated that while the foregoing description of the polymer activation apparatus includes specific details as to elements such as motors, pumps, etc. and operating parameters such as flow rates, shaft speed, etc. and that such details are for the purpose of illustrating the apparatus and are not intended as a limitation of the scope of the invention.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Linda Amsterdam
They DON'T HAVE INTERNET access!!!
The hotel may be a nice, decent and yet cheap place...but they really drove me crazy about the internet access. There was an ethernet plug in the room, and I plugged my laptop in, didn't work'... I told them about this, they "unlocked" the ethernet in the room, and still didn't work. Apparantly there was a problem in that room. They changed my room. I had to unpack, leave my bags to the reception and move them up three floors after 3 hours. I tried the plug, didn't work. I called the reception, supposedly they had to "unlock" the ethernet plug. they did, but still didn't work. Supposedly they called the "company", reset the whole system,,, but no luck. different person at the reception every day, different answers, just playing the game, keeping me busy with a different lie every time. Finally one of them told me that I could only DIAL-UP using the phone line -that's what their customers had always done!- but they have no number to dial-in or any other info as well. She told me I was supposed to use the same thing i use at home!!! And you call this Internet connection service! The worst thing is that they keep you busy with different lies! they either have no idea or they are just messing around with customers.
Not too bad an experience
Stayed for 5 nights from 25/9/04 to 2/10/04 having booked on the internet.
Arrived during a tram strike so had to drag the luggage from central station. The hardest part of the journey was negotiating the 3 flights of narrow stairs at the Hotel -which is not near the central shopping /entertainment areas.
The first appearences of the Hotel after passing reception are that it is a little well worn in the common areas such as hall and stairs. New floor covering throughout and some paint on the walls and skirtings would improve the over-all ambience. The bedrooms are however clean, warm and the bathroom is worthy of a much higher grade establishment. We were in Room 303 at the front of the hotel which is on a busy road. Clean towels every day but only one handger in the wardrobe. The price included breakfast in a rear dining room on a self-service basis. Excellent coffee and plenty of toast, preserves, hard boiled eggs, slices of ham and cheese and cereal and fruit juice. The staff we found were freindly and perhaps got to know us after our 4th night there. If you dont want to be close to the action (though a tram stop is within 60 meters) and you are on a budget this hotel may be for you. Certainly I hadnt much I would complain about other than when checking-out the receptionist tried to charge for another night until I produced my receipt to show I paid cash for 5 nights on arrival!
Very Poor
Me and my boyfriend stayed at hotel linda last november for a weekend break. We booked it over the internet. When we arrived at the hotel they told us that we were not on their books and no reservation had been made, we had a receipt of the booking and they said that there is a spare room free that we could have but would have to pay upfront, with no option we paid the full amount up front and they asked for one of our passports aswell, so i gave them mine. We went to our room up 2 steep flights of stairs to get to our room we opened the door and there was another flight of stairs even steeper which we had to climb up because there was no way you could walk up them. no tv no nothing just a room with a bathroom and a bed in the living room. When we checked out i asked for my passport back and they said that they didnt have it, so waited there for ages when they finaly found it after arguing with them. when we got back we were charged another �90 for no reason and spent a few weeks sorting it out as we shouldnt have been charged it. I would never go back there as i think they are not a good hotel to go to, they charge onto you credit card with no reason for the money being taken. VERY dissappointed by this hotel!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY VERY POOR!
Really nice and good price!!!
After leaving a hotel that was filthy and more expensive this hotel was a nice surprise. Nice room with clean sheets and marble en-suite bathroom. Would stay there again!!!
Beware..they lie about internet access and service!!!!Outrageous charges !!
We chose the Linda because :a)it was near,but not in downtown b)on a canal and transportation c)not too expensive,rooms were clean,with bathtub and shower,lots of hot water, adequate for our needs and most importantly because d) they said free internet access and we use our laptop everywhere,for local info and to check mails, home,work,etc.BIG DISAPPOINTMENT and RIPOFF. It took them 5 days to get our room connected,#1... #2 ,NOWHERE,in the room, front desk or online,NOR VERBALLY DID THEY EVER TELL US THERE WOULD BE EXTRAVAGANT TELEPHONE FEES FOR INTERNET USAGE!!!. #3 ,IN 2 DAYS of having the laptop plugged in, WHEN WE CHECKED OUT THEY GAVE US AN ADDITONAL BILL FOR 4300 US DOLLARS !!! The management was never available to discuss/dispute this with, and after an overseas call from us to them , they refused to even cut the bill, or share any responsibility. They should be accused of FALSE ADVERTISING and warned by the site promoters about this.
Good rates
i book this hotel last week on *************** because they had good rates for a double room and i thought it wouldnt be a nice hotel but after all i'm really glad i took this deal :) very clean decent hotel
Excellent choice
My boyfriend and I booked into hotel Linda for my birthday and the room we had was beautiful. It had a wonderful marble ensuite bathroom. We had a small but beautiful balcony. The room was clean and tidy and excellent value for money at 50 euros per night. The location was excellent for what we were looking for. Not too far from centraal square. But in a quiet area, with an huge market just round the corner.
P.S it's room 111
Hotel Linda, cheap but ok
Rooms small but clean, no hanging space though. Some of rooms lack ventilation and those to the front get all day and night traffic noise from busy road. All in all it was ok for the price, we had no real problems in our 4 day stay. Transport links are good and it is handy for Heineken experience and museums and gallerys. May go back but would look for hotel closer to city centre in prettier location, no doubt at an increased price.
Flea bites - aaggghhhh
We woke on the first morning to find a guest in a body bag on the pavement....yet everything in the hotel seemed normal....no gossip We woke on the second morning covered in flea bites...aggghhhh On complaining at reception we were offered no explanation or deduction...this was truly a hotel experience I would rather forget...but feel I just have to warn other travellers. I would recommend people to stay away from this flea pit.
Please don't stay here
My partner booked the Hotel Linda, as part of my birthday celebrations as a surprise weekend in Amsterdam. On arrival we were told that they couldn't find our reservation and were full, but luckily they had a room kept back just incase of double bookings etc !!! We were shown to a room 3 metres square, that housed a double bed, but nothing else - not a wardrobe or even a chair.
We complained and were told we could upgrade to a nicer room but would have to pay extra - we paid
the 20 euros per night extra, and the room to be fair was decent - but in my opinion we'd been conned - and charged extra for a room we'd already booked.
My Girlfriend paid the Hotel bill by credit card, when she eventually got her credit card statement she noticed the Hotel had put an extra bill through on a different day for an additional 100 euros.
We are still fighting to get this returned.
We stayed on b B&B basis, the breakfast was self service and fine for what it was, except there was never enough food put out and the coffee\hot water maching only worked intermittently, and finding a member of staff to sort anything out was always a pain in the neck.
On the whole i'd say this hotel was set up to rip off the tourists and guests were there to be endured instead of catered for.
Amsterdam was fantastic and we plan to go back, but not to this hotel.

Best Friend Reunion 2015 - Amsterdam
... The cheeses went from mild to strongest, and I loved every single one of them. Lucky for me, just about everyone else in the group ate just as much cheese as I did, so we had a very late dinner that night once all of our cheese had finally been digested. If you ever visit Amsterdam, I suggest you visit Reypenaer. The hour long class was just 15 euro, and worth every penny (after typing that, I don't think a one cent euro piece is called a penny...but you understand ...
We arrived in Amsterdam and we walked around town and to get to the centre we have to catch a ferry over, so that is cool.

Re: outboard size for 23-26' boats?
I sail a 26 ft Luger on lake Erie. My motor is a 8 HP evinrude saildrive with an extra long shaft. In normal conditions it is more than enough but I wish I had gone for more power. A 15 or even 20 HP would have been a better choice and well worth the couple of extra pounds that come with it. I also would have went with a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke. When the wind isnt blowing and you need to get home or the storm is on the horizon it would be nice to not have to listen to the 2 stroke screaming.A little more power means less stress on the motor as long as your not running it wide open.

From the article: 7 Ways to Control Your Cravings
After a long run or a hard workout, it's tempting to indulge your cravings. So how do you keep your cravings from turning into out-of-control binges?
- When I feel a craving coming on, I rinse my mouth with mouthwash. Helps avoid extra calories and trips to the dentist!
- —Guest tomrunner
Get out of the kitchen.
- The closer you are to the food, the more likely you're going to eat it. I go upstairs and get busy with something else, or else I'd be opening pantry and fridge doors.
- —Guest Sharlene
- When I'm craving something and I'm not hungry, I go for a run, do some sit-ups, squats -- anything to keep my mind off of food!
- —Guest rebecca
keep tempting foods out of the house!
- If I know my favorite foods (cookies, ice cream) are in the house, I have no willpower! So I just don't buy them. If I'm having company and I have tempting desserts in the house, I send them home with guests. I don't trust myself!
- —Guest Shannon
beauty treatments
- When I feel a craving coming on, I try to give myself to a manicure or pedicure -- anything to keep my hands busy and my mind off of food!
- —Guest mandy
- I see if I can make all the spaces between my teeth clear - it takes longer than flossing, so it gets me through those warm summer evenings when cookie dough ice cream is knocking at my door!
- —Guest Jenny D
healthy snacks
- I get massive cravings for chocolate..but over the past months I ate fruit or a fruit salad instead when I had the craving, and it worked! The cravings went. If you vary the fruit salad a lot it won't get boring, try exotic fruits, adding oats or raisins or gogo berries, add a low fat yogurt occasionally.
- —Guest becky
hot liquids
- I like to have a hot drink when I am really craving something-tea, hot chocolate, whatever (as long as it isn't something with more calories than what I'm trying to avoid!). Seems to make me feel fuller faster so I don't indulge, or at least eat less than I might otherwise.
- —rbrubacker60
- I keep packs of gum everywhere and pop a piece when a craving hits.
- —Guest ronnie

PARMA Over 13 million American kids reported being bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation.
That s the alarming statistic creators of The Bully Project, a new documentary, are hoping will grab people s attention.
Currently, there are no federal laws in place protecting children from bullying, but when it does happen, federally funded schools legally must respond to harassment complaints.
The Bully Project, directed by Lee Hirsch, gives viewers an intimate look at how bullying has touched five kids and their families.
The film is currently showing at The Flicks Theatre in Boise.
I cried all the way through it. It's really difficult to see kids suffering, said Josie Fretwell, an Idaho teacher.
Very emotional, said Chris Bates, a parent of a child that was bullied in school. I could totally relate to the parents.
However, the stories of bullying aren t just playing out on the big screen. Many children living right here in Idaho are also victims of bullying.
Fifteen-year-old Ismael Fernandez was bullied throughout most of his young life.
I got text messages from people telling me to kill myself, he said. Someone tried to choke me. I didn t know what would happen, you know, teachers weren t there.
Fernandez recalled the most devastating impact of bullying for him came from the words other kids used to try and hurt him.
People really don't understand, especially when it comes to verbal bullying, how hurtful it is, he said.
Soon Fernandez fell into a depression. I still got bullied despite what I was going through, and I didn't tell anybody what was happening, he said. I was too scared to.
He felt his only choice was to get out. Before his freshman year of high school he transferred to a different school district, the Parma School District.
Every single day of my life I continue to hear the words that I was called, the insults and taunts, Fernandez said.
In Parma, school administration utilize a bullying hotline as one way for students to communicate with teachers about harassment incidents.
Students and parents can type in the school s web address and get linked to a program that allows anonymous reporting of bullying. Through the hotline, Parma High School Principal, David Carson, is notified immediately with the details of an incident.
We needed to have a resource to be able to get that information because that is the hard thing with bullying. A lot of times you don't find out about it until it's already occurred, said Carson.
It is the best thing we have done because some kids won't report, some kids won't tell their friends, and some kids won't tell their teachers, said Sherri Faust, Director for the Parma after school programs
Kelly Miller with the Idaho Coalition against Sexual and Domestic Violence tells KTVB if a student believes someone will take action, they are more likely to report an incident of bullying.
You have to reach out to trusted adults until somebody hears you, said Miller.
At his new school in Parma Fernandez feels safe. This year he is enrolled in advanced learning and has made new friends. He looks back on the bullying he went through and regrets not being more vocal.
I should have told someone. I should have been tougher and not, you know ... but it's in the past, he said. I can't do anything about it, all I can do is look to the present and the future and see what I can do to prevent anyone else from going through this, he said.
Fernandez spent this last legislative session lobbying lawmakers hoping they would pass proposed anti-bullying legislation. The measure didn t make it out of the legislature successfully, but Fernandez is not going to stop trying.
That is the same hope that the makers of The Bully Project have - that the film will send a message to young people and adults to stop bullying in its tracks.
The Bully Project is in theaters now.

Fashion is about fantasy and offers a much-needed escape route to every style junkie. Over the years, fashion and beauty advertising have always been in the eye of storm for depicting impossibly perfect women. Are the heavily air-brushed bodies one of the biggest factors for eating disorders?
Should these images be accompanied by clear disclosures? After Hrs debates...
Nimish Shah
Photoshop is an art and an artist can be as abstract as they want to be. Even earlier kings and queens were slimmed down and they didn't want to be seen as obese. Versace is trying to sell a handbag and not doing any harm to anyone. Also, the body types have been changing and evolving. Sixties pin up girl wasn't even healthy. It's about your willpower.
Nachiket Barve
It's like saying actors in films can't wear make-up. Fashion is also a bit of escapism and heightened perfectionism. However, caution should be exercised and there should be certain guidelines like you can't make a model look unhealthy thin. Eventually the customer has to guage the bag which is the focus.
Namrata Joshipura
I strongly feel that brands have to be socially responsible. The idea of fashion and designers is to make you look good and make you feel good about yourself. However, when you portray an imagery which represents a brand and which is unnaturally perfect - you are not being socially responsible. Fashion is about aspirations but it has to be aspirational in a responsible way. The idea of putting the note with the ad is not feasible. We need to realise that people who are viewing the ads are not turning into anorexic, robotic zombies.
Arpita Mehta
I think Photoshop is needed and most of these campaigns are viewed by people who are well aware of the concept of airbrushing. As long as the brand message and product is conveyed, I don't think there's a problem. People understand that it's not the real thing hence the disclosure is not needed.

Kvick'z Unofficial Self-Portrait Thread
Alright, well I feel like I have been an absolute shit in my dedication to art, a few hours a day isn't cutting it and I need to get my ass active.
This is my unofficial self portrait thread, I'm going to be updating this as well as my original SB thread daily from this day forth, I promise anyone reading that. If I don't, I will compensate appropriately.
So I went out and bought a makeup mirror to put on my desk so I can feel pretty... and that whole sp thing maybe too.
here's yesterday, the official start of my unofficial sp thread
and this morning.

love the portraits, your colours are really good, can't wait to see some updates... i would love to see some more intersting poses of the face and some more interesting lighting, but other than that brilliant work keep it up

man oh man. I feel like I'm improving every time I do these. it's a great feeling. Sadly I didn't get a self-portrait done yesterday, I'll compensate tomorrow.
But hey I need some advice from anyone who has gotten/gets this. I stopped drawing for a few days because I started getting this pain in the outer ball of my wrist and on the right side of my right hand. Even with breaks I have pain
anyways, I DID try a self portrait two days ago and I was waaaay too tired hahaha, and maybe on substances
then tonight's, my hand hurts now

looks like you've made some good progress already. however it looks like you're diving into detail too fast without measuring or setting up construction. particularly the nose varies in length a great deal from one portrait to the next. the best way i know to get decent nose length and eye position is to imagine(or draw) a triangle going thru the eyes and the nose as in the attached pic. also it s good to know the basic proportions of the face, like the nose will be roughly 1/3 of the total length of the face. well good luck, cant wait to see your progress after 100 or so portraits

thanks rattsang, yeah I've noticed that my proportions usually go wrong around the nose area :X. I spent some more time on this one to try and get the construction correct, still not completely right though.
July 25th, 2008 #17
must have missed your question about pain last nite, i used to get severe pain in my hand, and i no longer have any problems. so this is what i did: i was holding my pen too tight. hold your pen as loose as possible, don't squeeze it. straighten your wrist(while in neutral position, obviously it will bend for gesture and sweeping strokes). dont rest your palm heavily on the tablet- rest it lightly or better yet not at all, only rest your little finger on the surface(when i say rest i mean support while drawing. inbetween drawing rest your whole arm) sit up straight at your desk and relax your shoulders, most ppl need to use a adjustable chair to get comfortable height to sit up straight, a good chair is a vital investment for any artist- severe pain can ruin your career.. these changes totally got rid of my pains. saying that i am not a doctor if your pain persists you sould see a doctor, wrist pain can be the sign of something more serious.

thanks for the additional advice, so far I've just bought a wrist-brace and it helps drastically. I think I'm putting too much pressure on the end of my hand resting against the tablet though.
okay I made a wip this time to try and get an idea of where I go wrong with my process, I spent extra extra time on the construction today but I need to focus more on color now.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Union budget provided Rs.1,000-rore hike in allocation for the flagship programme Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS). The allocation has been pegged at Rs. 40,100 crore as against the allocation of Rs. 39,100 crore, where as the Ministry of Rural Development had demanded an allocation in excess of Rs. 65,000 crore for the next fiscal year.
The Rural Development Ministry had sought the hiked allocation particularly to meet its new decision to construct Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendra at each of the 2.75 lakh panchayats and in all the blocks across the country. The Ministry has estimated an expenditure of about Rs. 30,000 crore as the proposed structure at the panchayat level is expected to cost Rs. 10 lakh and Rs. 25 lakh for the ones proposed at the block level.
The Ministry proposes to allocate a good part of the funds allocated for the MGNREGS for the construction of these buildings to cover the labour component of the project. In the wake of criticism the Ministry is now seeking to meet the material component from funds allocated to other rural programmes like the Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF).
The reservations expressed by social activists are that the construction of these buildings from the funds allocated for the MGNREGS will actually defeat the very objective of the law to provide jobs to those demanding it.
The Union Finance Minister has indeed hiked the allocation for the BRGF by 26 percent from Rs. 5,800 crore to Rs. 7,300 crore, but considering the enormity of the expenditure in the construction of the sewa kendras it was too little. Moreover, the utilisation of the BRGF was limited only to the backward regions only.
The allocation for the department has been increased from Rs. 62,670 crore to Rs. 66,100 crore in 2010-11. One of the highlights is the announcement of a new scheme to meet the needs of women under National Rural Livelihood Mission with a fund of Rs. 100 crore.
The Bundelkhand region which is in the heart of a major political controversy has been provided an additional Central allocation of Rs. 1,200 crore to fight the prevailing drought.
Another major announcement pertains to raising the unit cost of Indira Awas Yojana to Rs. 45,000 in plain areas and Rs. 48,000 in hilly areas to cover the increase in cost of construction of house.
The allocation for the IAY has been increased to Rs. 10,000 crore.
The allocation for the Bharat Nirman Scheme has been raised to Rs. 48,000 crore to upgrade rural infrastructure through the various programmes under the Ministry.

On the steam table, an inky eggplant stew is knocked for a loop by a spice mixture known as suwunda kudu, featuring cumin, black cumin, cloves, fenugreek, and, especially, cinnamon. (Indeed, if you don't like cinnamon, Sri Lankan is not for you.) Kingfish steaks loll in a banana-colored coconut broth dancing with droplets of red oil, while chicken curry boasts a chocolate brown broth tangled with so many flavor-bearing twigs and leaves that it looks like a beaver dam. This is an example of Sri Lanka's notorious black curries, which begin as powdered spice mixtures similar to Indian masalas, but are given a much deeper and richer flavor by pan toasting. Thanks to indentured laborers brought to the island by the Dutch from Indonesia and Malaysia, some curries also feature Southeast Asian flourishes like lemongrass and screw pine, and island cooks invariably throw a sour wrench into the works by adding tamarind, lime, vinegar, or goraka, a small orange fruit that's brined and crushed for use as a thickening agent.
New Asha Café is one of a pair of side-by-side Ceylonese eateries that face the new Albanian mosque on Victory Boulevard as it toils its way uphill through the rundown Stapleton neighborhood. The narrow storefront is jollified with blue checked cloths and a travel poster of an elephant posing with her babies. The staff often darts next door to the associated grocery when staples run out, and sometimes there are three women cooking in the small kitchen at one time. Catering to a diverse constituency of Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, the café must do a balancing act so as not to violate the dietary restrictions of any group. Our cordial hostess, who wears a red bindi on her forehead, confided that some dishes that might normally contain the condiment Maldive fish (dried bonita) omit it out of respect for vegetarians.

Like the Sicilians, the Sri Lankans are inveterate snackers, and as you dine, you are likely to see an assortment of characters dash in from the street and depart just as quickly bearing a bread improved with a dab of the delicious onion or coconut sambol. Sometimes, they select instead from a glass case that displays neat rows of deep-fried finger foods, still called "frikkadels" in deference to the Dutch. Though the orbs of finely minced kingfish are certainly of Portuguese origin, the tubular mutton rolls ($1) reminded me of Cornish pasties. The rich filling of goat and potatoes is dotted with cardamom and other crunchy spices, and the roti wrapper is further dipped in bread crumbs before frying for added crunch. As I ate one that the cook had brought fresh from the fat, I thought, If only Mom had packed these in my lunchbox.

There isn't a serious angler out there that doesn't like traveling to fish new water. For most of us, packing for the trip is a ritual alone. Organizing your gear, trying flies, buying extras of everything, & packing it all up is part of the process...
That is why The Gorge Fly Shop has teamed up with Jerry Swanson at Fish Head Expeditions. With over 30 years of fly fishing travel experience, Jerry is a wealth of knowledge on many locations around the world.
Legendary fly fishing guide Tom Larimer hosts trips to some of the worlds finest fly fishing destinations.
TCX Switch Rod Review
by Jerry Swanson:
"After fishing the Sage 5, 6 and 7 weight Sage 11 9 spey/switch rods for the last 14 months I will say that every angler should consider owning at least one of them. An exception is if you only fish spring creeks. They may be called switch rods, but I use them as spey rods only. These are not crazy fast rods like some of the single and two-handed TCX. The size of the water, size of the fish, the type of flies being cast and the obstacles to casting are always guides to the length and line weight of rods to be fished."

Nubia suffered from a cleft palate and a rare sexual dysfunction. Her treatment for the cleft palate was damaged, according to the arrest warrants.
Despite routine visits, state investigators repeatedly missed clues that the children were being abused in their new home.
In the days since the children were found, the state has removed two other children, a girl named Jennifer, 7, and a boy named George, 11, from the Barahonas' home and placed them in protective foster care.
Carmen's biological granddaughter, who made frequent visits to the Barahona home, told a school therapist about the twins' abuse, saying the children had been bound and forced to stand in a bathtub. The therapist then called a child abuse hotline.
The state's Department of Children and Families has come under increased scrutiny for failing to remove the children from the home, despite signs of abuse.
A case worker in 2007 wrote: "Nubia's hunger has been uncontrollable, she sneaks and steals food, steals money, has hair loss, is very thin, nervous and jittery. Nubia also has an unpleasant odor… In the past it is believed Nubia's adoption was halted when Nubia was coming to school dirty while in the adoptive mother's care."
"This child is very medically needy and should not be missing appointments because the foster parent does not want to take her," the report said.

Photos: Fruition wins the Joy Wine & Spirits chili cook-off
Fruition's slow-smoked pork green chili topped with tamales de rajas and crumbles of queso.
All photos by Lori Midson
On Sunday, when the weather had a wicked chill in the air, several amateur cooks, along with a multitude of Denver restaurants, including Avenue Grill, Fruition, Little Pub Company, Table 6, Mizuna, Vesper Lounge, Cafe Brazil, twelve and Fuel Cafe, warmed the crowds with bubbling pots of chili, handing out small portions in at attempt to win their vote in the third annual Joy Wine & Spirits chili cook-off, a benefit for Rebuilding Together Metro Denver, a local nonprofit. Andra Zeppelin, editor of Eater Denver, Wayne Conwell, chef-owner of Sushi Sasa and I judged the competition, awarding Fruition, Alex Seidel's restaurant, first place for its terrific slow-smoked pork green chili topped with tamales de rajas and crumbles of queso. And the voting public agreed, also awarding Fruition the top spot. Here's a photo gallery of the highlights -- and don't miss our full slide show of the spirited chili cook-off.

"Peace, order and good government": archives in society
- Ian E. Wilson
- … show all 1 hide
The phrase "peace, order and good government," common to the definition of federal powers in both the Australian and the Canadian constitutions, has defined the relationship of the Crown and the citizen for more than five centuries. The archival record is fundamental to that relationship, providing its authoritative legal basis, documenting its evolution and continuing as a reminder of both our proudest achievements and our most dismal failures as a society. This paper reflects on the role of archives in recent Canadian human rights issues, highlighting both the strengths and the weaknesses of the record, the perception of archives as an agency of the state and the role of archives in helping society address highly contentious issues.
