A process and apparatus for recycling iron material components of dusts discharged from iron manufacturing furnaces such as blast furnaces and converters and removing zinc type metals and compounds from such dusts to avoid their deposition and accumulation on the furnace walls. A welt method is employed for separating the iron dust components from the zinc and removing these zinc type metals and compounds. The zinc material is made identifiable or "earmarked" from the iron material by being selectively ground or otherwise reduced to finer particles than the iron material, the zinc material then being removed from the iron material by wet separation under negative pressures for reclamation or disposal. The iron material remaining is processed for recycling into the furnace.
1. A method for wet removal of zinc type metals and compounds in a process for purifying and recovering dusts collected in an iron manufacturing furnace, which comprises the steps of:
wet-concentrating dusts containing particles of iron and zinc type material collected from the iron manufacturing furnace,
pulverizing the particles of zinc material so the zinc particles are substantially finer than the iron particles, thereby earmarking the zinc and iron by particle size,
feeding the wet concentrated and size earmarked dusts together,
separating and removing the zinc type metals and compounds from iron-containing components in the dusts by wet separation conducted under a negative pressure,
processing the iron containing components to form solid iron pieces, and
recycling the iron pieces to the iron manufacturing furnace.
2. the method of claim 1 wherein the dusts are wet concentrated by means of a thickener.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the dust particles are slime coated during wet concentration and after this last mentioned step are agitated to prevent re-cohesion thereof.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the particles of zinc type material are selectively pulverized by means of a grinder.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the wet concentration of the dusts is accomplished by solid-liquid separation in a thickener.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the dusts are collected from the furnace for wet concentration in an electric dust precipitator and the dust from the precipitator fed to a wet venturi scrubber for wet dust collection.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the wet separation of the zinc type metals and iron-containing components is accomplished by means of a negative pressure type wet cyclone.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein prior to recycling the iron-containing components to the furnace, said components are processed to form iron pellets.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the iron pellets are formed by separating the solid and liquid parts of said iron-containing components from each other in a filter press, drying the solid parts, agitating the solid parts to form a homogeneous mass, forming said mass into granules, calcining and shaping the granules and sintering the calcined and shaped granules to form the pellets.
This invention relates to dust recovery in iron manufacture and more particularly to a method and apparatus for separating zinc type material from iron material in such dust and removing the zinc type material, with the iron material being recycled into the manufacturing process.
In order to maintain good working conditions and prevent environmental pollution, in iron manufacturing furnaces such as blast furnaces, converters and electric furnaces, the dusts discharged from these furnaces are forcibly collected so as to avoid pollution of the air. Further, for the purpose of more effectively utilizing resources, iron-containing components are purified and recycled into the iron manufacturing furnaces, for example, after pelletization. These dust removing and recycling techniques are now broadly employed in the art of iron manufacture.
Dust collected in the above recycle process contain Zn, ZnO, Pb and the like (called "zinc type metals and compounds" in the instant specification and claims) in addition to Fe2 O3 and like iron compounds.
Accordingly, when these collected dusts are recycled repeatedly into iron manufacturing furnaces, such zinc type metals and compounds are accumulated and adhere to furnace walls and flues to cause clogging in furnace bricks thereby reducing the operation efficiency drastically. Moreover, there is the danger that these accumulated zinc type metals and compounds will deposit on the refractory materials of the furnace, thereby shortening the effective life of the furnace. In addition to these shortcomings, the accumulation of such zinc type material on the furnace tends to lower the grade of the raw steel produced.
As means for overcoming these defects and disadvantages, a method has been proposed in which recovered dusts are dipped in a dissolution tank and decomposed in several stages by chemically dissolving means such as a leaching process. However, this method has the disadvantages that the equipment involved is complicated, the operating cost is high, a considerable space is required and the operating maintenance requires very high technical capability.
Application of flotation dressing means to recovered dusts can also be employed, but conditions for operation in a high magnetic field in a magnetic dressing machine are very critical and this method does not lend itself for use in a practical operating situation.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method in which the foregoing problems involved in the dust recovery process in an iron manufacturing furnace are solved and defects, difficulties and disadvantages of the prior art techniques are eliminated or ameliorated.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for removing zinc type metals and compounds in the dust recovery process in the iron manufacture in which zinc type metals and compounds can easily be removed at low costs by subjecting them to processing whereby they can be identified by particle size and removed by negative pressure separation whereby resources can be utilized at high efficiency.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism to be used directly for practising the above method for removing zinc type metals and compounds.
In accordance with the present invention, the foregoing objects can be attained by a method comprising concentrating by a thickener or the like dusts discharged from a blast furnace, an electric furnace or the like. Such dusts are preliminarily collected by electric dust precipitation or the like and secondarily collected by wet dust collection by a venturi scrubber or the like. The dust so collected is fed to the thickener where solid-liquid separation is accomplished. The overflow liquid in the thickener is appropriately transferred to a waste water treatment device for re-utilization while the underflowed concentrate is subjected to solid-liquid separation by dehydration means such as a filter pass.
Selective pulverization according to the work index is accomplished by a grinding mill or the like which receives the output of the thickener and operates to pulverize zinc type metals and components as finely as possible so as to identify or "earmark" the zinc particles from the iron particles by size. When the dust particles are slime coated in the thickener, a line mixer is employed in place of the grinder to agitate the particles so as to prevent re-cohesion thereof. Sorting and grinding of the particles by the grinder may be omitted when the particles are "size-earmarked" by pipe flowing or pumping during the transportation process.
The size-earmarked particles are separated into zinc type metals and compounds and iron-containing components by means of a negative pressure wet classifying process using a negative pressure type wet cyclone or the like. The zinc type metals and compounds are either discarded or appropriately retreated. The iron-containing components are subjected to dehydration and solid-liquid separation, the resulting cake being dried and mixed with other dry material. Means are provided for agitating, granulating, calcining and sintering the mixture so as to form reduced iron pellets which are recycled to the blast furnace, converter or electric furnace. Accordingly, the method of the present invention is characterized in that deposition and adhesion of recycled zinc type metals and compounds in the apparatus of the blast furnace, converter or electric furnace can be prevented and such difficulties as the falling off and peeling of the zinc type metals and compounds from the furnace walls are prevented. Further deterioration of the grade of the raw steels produced is avoided, the life of the furnace can be prolonged, and resources can be utilized more effectively and efficiently.
The drawing is a flow sheet illustrating one embodiment of the present invention.
An ordinary blast furnace 1 as the iron manufacturing furnace is connected to a known electric dust precipitator 3 as the primary dust collector through an exhaust gas duct 2. When the iron manufacturing furnace is a converter or electric furnace 1', it also is connected in a similar manner.
The electric dust precipitator 3 is connected to a wet venturi scrubber 5 as the secondary dust collector through a dust collecting duct 4, and the electric dust precipitator 3 and the wet venturi scrubber 5 are appropriately connected to a thickener 7 through dust collecting ducts 6 and 6'.
An overflow pipe 8 from the thickener 7 is appropriately connected to a waste water treatment apparatus 9 which is then connected to a re-treatment apparatus 11 through a transporting and connecting pipe 10.
A mechanism A for removing zinc type metals and compounds is connected to an underflow pipe 12 of the thickener 7. Mechanism A includes a grinding mill 13 such as a vortex mixer which receives the output of underflow pipe 12 and operates to effect selective pulverization of concentrated dusts, namely the iron and zinc-containing components, which are treated according to the work index of their toughness and brittleness. The softer zinc components are thus ground into finer particles than the iron. A discharge opening (not shown) of grinding mill 13 is connected to a feed inlet of a negative pressure type wet cyclone 15 through a discharge pipe 14.
When the iron and zinc particles of the collected dusts in the thickener already made to have different particle sizes, as described hereinafter, by pipe flowing or pumping during the transportation process, the underflow pipe 12 is directly connected to the negative pressure cyclone 15 through a second underflow pipe 12'.
In situations where the dusts are slime-coated in the thickener 7, a line mixer or the like is employed in place of the grinding mill 13 so as to prevent re-cohesion of dust particles, the output of the line mixer being connected to the feed opening of the negative pressure cyclone 15.
An overflow sucking finder pipe 16 of the negative pressure type wet cyclone 15 is run to a seal tank 17 of a water tank and is downwardly extended so that a water column is formed therein, whereby a negative pressure siphon tube is formed. A siphon regulator 18 capable of pressure adjustment is disposed on top of the finder pipe 16.
The seal tank 17 is connected to an appropriate waste water treatment apparatus 20 through a connecting pipe 19 and the waste treatment apparatus 20 is connected to a retreatment apparatus 22 for zinc type metals and compounds through a connecting pipe 21.
An underflow pipe 23 of the negative pressure type cyclone 15 is connected to a filter press 24 for solid-liquid separation through an appropriate regulator (not shown), and a waste water pipe 25 from the filter press 24 is used to connect the waste water treatment apparatus 9 to the thickener 7.
A transportation conveyor 26 connected to filter press 24 is connected to an appropriate drying apparatus 27, and a transportation conveyor 28 from the drying apparatus 27 runs to an appropriate agitating and mixing apparatus 29 such as a pan type mixer.
A conveyor 31 from a dry fine powder hopper 30 for starting ores or the like may be connected to the agitating and mixing apparatus 29 as may be necessary.
An appropriate granulating apparatus 33 is connected to the agitating and mixing apparatus 29 through a transportation conveyor 32, and the granulation apparatus 33 is connected to a calcination apparatus 35 through a transportation conveyor 34 and to a sintering apparatus 37 as the final treatment apparatus through a transportation conveyor 36. The sintering apparatus 37 is connected by means of a transportation conveyor 38 to blast furnace 1 or converter 1'.
In the system having the above structure, when the blast furnace 1 or the converter or electric furnace 1' is operated and the electric dust precipitator 3 and the wet venturi scrubber 5 are operated, exhaust dusts from the blast furnace 1 or the converter or electric furnace 1', which contain ZnO, Zn, Fe2 O3 and the like are first collected in the form of coarse particles by the electric dust precipitator 3, and then collected in the form of fine particles by the wet venturi scrubber 5. The solid dust portion is gathered in the thickener 7 by means of the dust collecting ducts 6 and 6' and undergoes solid-liquid separation and sedimentation actions, and the overflowed portion is transferred to the waste water treatment apparatus 9 via overflow pipe 8. Any remaining solid dust portion is fed by means of pipe 10 to the retreatment apparatus 11 for an appropriate subsequent treatment.
A spigot of the thickener 7 for the precipitated and concentrated underflowed (solid dust) portion is connected by means of an underflow pipe 12 to the grinding mill 13 of the mechanism A for removal of zinc type metals and compounds, which is operated in a relay manner. Selective pulverization is conducted by the grinding mill 13 based on the work index of the preliminarily analyzed toughness, brittleness and the like of Pb, Zn, ZnO, and Fe2 O3 of the precipitate so that particle size identification or earmarking is accomplished. This selective pulverization of grinding mill 13 is such that Zn, Pb and Zn components are pulverized as finely as possible, but the Fe2 O3 component is not pulverized. Accordingly, particle size identification of the zinc components from the iron components is clearly achieved by this wet pulverization, and these "size-earmarked" particles are discharged and fed in a mingled condition to a feeder at the feed opening of the negative pressure type wet separator 15.
When the particle size sorting is preliminarily attained in the transportation line to the thickener 7, the dust particles are directly fed to the feed opening of the negative pressure type cyclone 15.
When the dust particles are slime-coated, re-cohesion is appropriately prevented by a line mixer or the like as pointed out hereinbefore, and they are fed to the feeder in the particle size-sorted state.
Since in the negative pressure type wet separator 15 the finder pipe 16 is connected to the seal tank 17 located below to form a siphon pipe, a negative pressure is maintained in the body portion, and by means of the siphon regulator 18, the finder pressure, namely the operation negative pressure, may be controlled to an optimum level.
Accordingly, the solid component fed to the negative pressure wet separator 15 is maintained under a negative pressure condition by suction. Namely, finer particles of Pb, Zn and ZnO are positively sucked more strongly and separated from coarser particles of Fe2 O3 and the like, and they are sedimented and gathered in the water tank 17 of the seal tank through the overflow pipe 16 and substantially completely together by the effect of the above particle size earmarking.
Coarse particles of the iron-containing components such as Fe2 O3 are discharged intermittently by predetermined amounts from the underflow pipe 23 through the action of the above-mentioned regulator.
Accordingly, in the mechanism A for removing zinc type metals and compounds, not only the wet selective pulverization in the first stage and the pulverizing particle size "earmarking", but also the positive sucking separation of fine particles by the negative pressure type wet separation in the second state are accomplished. Therefore, the solid portion discharged from the underflow pipe 23 has a much reduced content of zinc type metals and compounds and the iron-containing components occupy a substantial portion of this solid portion.
Test data taken for an operative embodiment of the above-described mechanism A for removing zinc type metals and compounds employing a negative pressure type wet separator, is shown in the following table.
Table______________________________________ Test No. 1 2 3______________________________________Finder pipe diameter (mm) 22 22 22Feed Pressure (kg/cm2) 0.5 0.5 0.5Syphon pipe pressure (-mmHg) 50 150 100Overflowed portionFlow rate (l/min) 57.2 60.0 60.0Concentration (%) 7.63 7.2 9.09Specific gravity of liquid 1.0535 1.0504 1.0645Solid distribution ratio (%) 26.3 30.2 36.2Zn distribution ratio (%) 80.6 89.5 85.7Fe distribution ratio (%) 20.0 31.3 33.9Underflowed portionFlow rate (l/min) 9.8 7.7 7.4Concentration (%) 70.00 71.34 71.83Specific gravity of liquid 1.875 1.907 1.9188Solid distribution ratio (%) 73.7 69.8 63.8Zn distribution ratio (%) 19.4 10.5 14.2Fe distribution ratio (%) 80.0 68.7 66.1FeedFlow rate (l/min) 67.0 67.7 66.0Concentration (%) 22.0 20.0 21.0Specific gravity of liquid 1.17 1.155 1.164Solid feed rate (Kg/min) 17.46 15.01 16.01Zn level (%) 2.35 2.90 2.66______________________________________
As will be apparent from the foregoing data, if appropriate conditions are provided, the zinc and iron particles can be earmarked fine and coarse respectively and effectively separated into the overflowed portion of Zn components and the underflowed portion of predominantly iron-containing components depending on the specific gravity and solid content of the liquid, such that they can be separately collected.
Zinc type metals and compounds thus agglomerated and gathered in the seal tank 17 through the overflow pipe 16 are transferred to the waste water treatment apparatus 20 through the transfer pipe 19 and subjected to the solid-liquid separation. Solid zinc metals and compounds are treated in the treatment apparatus 22 so that they can be utilized again.
Zinc-free iron-containing components discharged from the underflow pipe 23 are fed to the filter press 24 where solid-liquid separation is performed. The liquid is fed to the waste water treatment apparatus 9 through the waste water pipe 25, where the liquid is appropriately treated. The solid material in treatment apparatus 9 is fed to the retreatment apparatus 11 so that it can be re-treated, as pointed out hereinbefore.
The iron-containing components which have been subjected to solid-liquid separation in filter press 24 are transferred to the drying apparatus 27 by the transportation conveyor 26 after opening of the filter press 24, and they are appropriately dried. Then, they are fed to the agitating and mixing apparatus 29 by the transportation conveyor 28 where they are subjected to the mixing and kneading operation. In some cases, they are mixed and kneaded with fine powder of a raw material to form a homogeneous mixture. Then, the mixture is fed to the granulation apparatus 33 by the conveyor 32 and formed into granules having an appropriate size. The granules are then fed to the calcining apparatus 35 by the transportation conveyor 34 where they are calcined and shaped. The calcined and shaped product is then fed to the sintering apparatus 37 through the transportation conveyor 36 where it is pelletized. The pellets are recycled for reduction in the blast furnace 1 or converter or electric furnace 1'.
As will be apparent from the foregoing illustration, the above-mentioned dust recycle reduction process is conducted repeatedly, and therefore, zinc type metals and compounds are gradually removed in the course of the repeated recycle reduction process such that adhesion, deposition or accumulation of zinc type metals and compounds on the walls of the blast furnace 1 or the converter or electric furnace 1' is avoided. Accordingly, special shut-down operations need not be conducted for removing deposited substances, and the iron manufacturing operation can be performed continuously at a high efficiency. Further, the life of the furnace can be prolonged.
As detailed hereinbefore, according to the present invention, since dusts discharged from an iron-manufacturing furnace are concentrated and then subjected to wet type preferential pulverization according to the work index to effect particle size earmarking, or since dusts which have undergone particle size earmarking during the transportation process are treated, only zinc type metals and compounds are selectively pulverized as finely as possible according to the work index of toughness, brittleness or the like. Iron-containing components are not pulverized, but rather left in the form of coarse particles, without performing such pulverization. Thus, there is attained an advantage in that a suitable basic condition for removal of zinc type metals and compounds can be realized.
After the above selective pulverization of the particle size-earmarking attained in the transportation process, dust particles are subjected to negative pressure wet separation. In this operation, the solid component in which the above basic condition for removal of zinc type metals and compounds has been established by the particle size-earmarking, the fine and coarse particles are separated from each other. Further, since a compressed pressure feed system is not employed but rather the negative pressure operating system of the present invention is adopted, fine particles can be sucked out effectively by virtue of the wet separation and simultaneously there is attained an effect such that coarse particles having a large specific gravity can be efficiently separated by sedimentation. Accordingly, zinc type metals and compounds rendered finer in the selective pulverization step can be efficiently separated from the iron-containing components and selectively removed from the solid. For example, a separation ratio of 80%, that cannot be attained by the conventional chemical treatment process or flotation dressing process, can be attained by means of the present invention.
Further, by using as the treating mechanisms a grinding mill for the selective pulverization and a negative pressure type wet cyclone for the negative pressure type wet separation, these operations can be accomplished efficiently by means of simple structures. In view of the structural characteristics of the grinding mill and negative pressure wet cyclone, the operations can be greatly facilitated, and there is attained an advantage that the operating maintenance is made easy and the operating and initial cost can be significantly reduced.
Moreover, the refining recycle process of dusts from iron manufacturing furnaces can be accomplished at high purification ratio and at a low cost, and there is attained a subsidiary advantage in that zinc type metals and compounds can be effectively removed and also subjected to retreatment. Still further, in a blast furnace or a converter, zinc type metals and compounds are gradually removed from recycled dusts, and therefore, the adherence or deposition of zinc type metals and compounds on the wall of the blast furnace or converter is avoided. Therefore, the danger of the peeling and falling off of deposited zinc type metals and compounds or refractory materials from the furnace walls is minimized. Moreover, maintenance operations need not be performed for positively peeling off such deposited substances.
Still in addition, since zinc type metals and compounds are removed from the recycle process, the degree of purification is enhanced in the iron manufacturing process, and there is attained another advantage in that the quality of the steel end product can be improved.
While the device of this invention is described and illustrated in detail, it is to be clearly understood that this is intended by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of this invention being limited only by the terms of the following claims.

"Domain Marketing Strategies - How to Build Incredible Traffic with Domain SEO" Keywords: Domain Marketing, Domain SEO, Domain Name Marketing Strategies, Optimize Domain Names Word Count: 552 In today's e-business era, the methods of doing business are fast changing. More and more people are using Internet for money making opportunities. However, just like brick and mortar business, e-business is also witnessing cut-throat competition. Online marketers are using varying and innovative techniques to attract their customers. In this context, several domain name marketing strategies are being used by entrepreneurs to woo the Internet users. Domain marketing is fast catching up as an increasing number of world's population is turning to Internet. Of the overall Internet marketing strategies, Domain marketing is an important component. It is of vital importance to make domain name look attractive and informative at the same time. In today's fast pace Internet world, most of the clients judge the websites by their names alone. If the name appeals to them, then only they care to log in or check out that website. First, the domain name should necessarily reflect the kind of business you do. If you deal with antique items, then the domain name should contain the word antique in it. This ensures that people looking for antique items will eventually visit your website. Thus, a good domain name is the primary requirement of any online business. Secondly, it is a good idea to use a keyword rich domain name. Doing so will generate good traffic for your website. The domain name chosen by you should be short and simple, so that it can be easily memorized by the clients or the customer group you wish to target. For domain SEO (Search Engine Optimization) purposes, the name should contain keywords that are in high demand by the search engines. It is an established fact that a keyword rich domain name attracts more traffic. However, be cautious not to use long and difficult keywords. Further, you should use only industry-specific keywords, in order to generate more web traffic to your website. If your website deals in "old and used shoes", then you should search for common words that are prevalent in this industry. This is of utmost importance as wrong keywords in the domain name can create an altogether different perception among the clients. This would defeat the very purpose of your website. So, you must be extremely cautious in selecting the name of your website. Further, the domain extensions are also very vital as they form the overall name of your website. The most common domain extension is .com, as Internet users all over the world are used to it. In other words, you should try to optimize domain names. Other domain extension such as org, net, co, in, or biz are also prevalent but various Internet researches have shown that consumers are more comfortable with .com. So, always try to create or purchase the domain name ending with .com, as it is sure to bring certain benefits to you. Further, you should avoid creating or purchasing several domain names for your website. Instead, just go for one keyword rich domain name and use Internet marketing strategies to make it popular. The basic aim of your website is to earn profits for your business. So, be careful in choosing the right domain name and then the keyword rich content for the site itself. You can visit www.thedomaindashboard.com to learn all about domain marketing and its techniques. "Choosing a Domain Name - An Easy Way to Create Perfect Domain Name Ideas" Keywords: Choosing a Domain Name, Domain Name Ideas, Domain Name Suggestions, Best Domain Names Word Count: 563 Domain name is the most important factor for generating good volumes of web traffic for your website. A good domain name is the key to good revenues for your business. However, choosing a domain name is a sort of challenge and requires a great deal of research and patience. A domain name, also known as URL (Universal Resource Locator), is the web address that Internet users type in to go to a specific website. In today's fast changing tech-world, people have extremely short memory span as far as remembering domain names is concerned. As a domain name leads potential customers to a website that promotes your business, it is a vital component of online business. Hence, it becomes even more important to choose a good domain name. Moreover, it is imperative that a domain name reflects the kind of business in which you are dealing. For instance, if you deal in selling "used automotives", then the name of your website should contain the word "automotives" in it, either as a part or whole. The name chosen should be short, simple, and point towards the business nature. In the above example, the domain name "usedautomotives.com" seems to be good as it is pointed and direct. You should be innovative and think "out of box" domain names. However, innovations should be based on industry specific keywords and not be generic in nature. Again, if you consider the above example, the name can be "usedauto.com" or "usedautomobiles.com". Different individuals may have different domain name ideas, but they all agree on keeping it short and simple. The major advantages with the short domain names is that they are easy to remember and less open to typing mistakes. A typing mistake can lead your clients to a different website that is owned by your competitor, thus defeating the very purpose of owning a website. Further, it is sensible not to use hyphenated domain names. Internet users are not used to in typing hyphenated websites names, and one silly typing mistake can lead them to some other website. Otherwise also, it is easy to type "usedautomotives.com" rather than "used-auto- motives.com". Domain extensions also play an important role in making the names popular. People often get confused in choosing the right extensions for their websites. Since the inception of Internet, dot com (.com) has been the most sought after domain extension. So, you should opt for a dot com instead of dot net (.net), dot org (.org), or dot biz (.biz). However, if you are dealing in products or services that are specific to a particular country, then using a country extension such as dot in (.in), or dot uk (.uk) is a good idea. It will attract customers belonging to that particular country. If you are finding it difficult to choose a name for your website, then you can ask for domain name suggestions from experts in this field. Once you have obtained suggestions for choosing domain names, test them by sampling them. It is known as test marketing and is the best technique to select a domain name. This method allows you to confirm whether or not a particular domain name will generate traffic for your site. Once you have test marketed the suggested names, select the best domain names out of them and use them for your website. After all, in Internet world, the name has it all.

Sorry, sticky lap top keyboard, that was supposed to be *2* tones, not
828 tones, of course :)
And I see you have just replied to this Alan, will go get the other
app and try that, cheers.

- 'cause IMD, as measured using the ARRL protocol, is specified with reference to PEP, which is accepted to be 6 dB higher than the two tone level.
I would be interested to see the mil protocol and specification if you have it.

By urgently summoning the anchors of Israel's three main television channels on Friday, Benjamin Netanyahu gave the first clear and open signal that he is beginning to feel worried. Not worried that he may actually lose the upcoming election – there is no sign of that in the polls four weeks before election day – but worried that this victory may not be worth winning.

Nigel Slater recipes + Summer food and drink
The combination of hot sizzling meat and cold fresh leaves or fruit, put together at the last moment so the contrast is not lost, makes the ideal summer dish, says Nigel Slater
Nigel Slater makes the most of the new season's strawberries, mangoes and rhubarb
Nigel Slater: crab toasts with samphire, grilled langoustines, chicken salad with melon, and strawberry cream meringue cake… simple seasonal food to eat outside
Nigel Slater: Flatten a piece of meat with a rolling pin, and supper will be ready in 15 minutes, says Nigel Slater. Gammon with broad beans, chicken with taleggio and pork fillet with apple – perfect for a warm summer's night
Pork, herb burgers, white chocolate mousse – the flavours get stronger as the summer moves on, writes Nigel Slater
It's time to enjoy the great outdoors. Pack a summer picnic basket with simple salads, herb foccacia and perfect cakes
Soft greens, baby beans and delicate herbs all make for a gentle summer meal best eaten in dappled shade
Pale, fragrant and full of flavour, the bulbs of new season garlic are a heady hit of summer's most evocative dishes
Early onions fresh from the allotment make the perfect filling for a French-style tart. Team them up with a melting Camembert for a delicious late-summer lunch
Nothing says "summer" like a cream tea with traditional Devon splits crammed with homemade jam and clotted cream – it knocks the boring old scone into a cocked hat
Baked, boiled, grated or blitzed, its deliciously earthy taste and supreme versatility give healthy beetroot the edge over other summer vegetables…
Today's poached chicken is tomorrow's salad supper or late-night sandwich with all the trimmings. So whip up a feast, and bring on the leftovers…
Heavy with juice and with flesh the colour of a sunset, a juicy peach is the perfect high-summer treat. Eat it raw, bake it in a pie or stuff it with almonds and cheese
Lip-gloss shiny, firm to the touch and with the faintest fuzz of blond hairs … A courgette tastes of the sun and makes for a perfectly simple summer supper
Britain's best food writer makes the most of summer with five of his favourite seasonal recipes
Our late spring followed by just the right amount of sun and rain means a bounty of lettuce, peas and beans. Just pair with smoked fish for a perfect summer dish…

Spoilers: Gods of the Arena 105 "Reckoning"
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the plot.
Author's Note: I'm uploading fic I've been hoarding on other sites. This is my first Spartacus piece and I'm not sure it's my last but we'll see.
The night Diona leaves, Naevia cries herself to sleep.
Diona chases her through the marketplace, skidding on loose pebbles as she rounds a corner into a side alley and collapses at Naevia's side. Before Naevia can say a word, Diona grabs her hand and pulls her through the late afternoon shadows. The stone walls are cool to the touch, the shadows overbearing but Diona's solid hold keeps Naevia heated and calm. The shadows break and the girls have come upon a warm, green meadow, small flowers dotting their vision with shining pinpricks of white.
They fall to the ground, hands still entwined, and breathe in the fresh scent of earth. Naevia plucks a flower from between them and tucks it behind Diona's ear, runs her fingers along the gentle curve of the younger girl's cheek and smiles at the blush. They move closer, trace lazy swirls on exposed skin and whisper childish nonsense to each other as the afternoon sun sets leaving them in awe as the sky deepens almost instantaneously.
Naevia closes her eyes and breathes deeply, the cool night air entering her lungs. Her eyes are still closed when she feels a soft weight on her body, feels fingers walking themselves up her ribs, skirting around her breast, sliding up her neck. She feels soft lips against her own, feels the weight on her become heavier, the pressure at her lips burns, her whole body feels like it's on fire but only her chest hurts. A wrenching feeling, hard, painful, crushing, seizes her body and she opens to her eyes to see Diona staring down at her, all burning blue eyes and wonder.
And suddenly Naevia can see the glitter of stars through the brunette, watches the girl's figure fade at the edges. A rushing wind tugs at her insides as the ghostly image of Diona falls straight through Naevia into the ground beneath her.
Now alone in the field, Naevia wraps her arms around herself and goes fetal, cries until the sun begins to peak over the horizon.
Naevia awakes to a tear-stained pillow, the day's rain burning against the glittering oranges and deep reds of a fresh sun rise. The day is fresh but already empty.

I would recommend this movie to everyone! anyone with dreams and inspirations, to people who just love to dance. the acting was great, the storyline kept you interested... the music and dancing was dynamic! i can't get enough of this movie! i loved it! it inspires us all to FREAK YOUR DREAMS! ;) Jules Urich you are amazing!
I love this movie becuase she shows she not scared to do something she loves no matter what get in her way and she keep her haed up high
I was expecting this movie to be like How She Move, but I was sorely dissappointed. The movie was pretty stupid, the acting was awful for at least half of it, the dancing was only okay, and it didn't move or affect me at all. I don't suggest buying it, rent it and you'll thank yourself for saving the money.

BBC Accuses Mediaset, Endemol and Televisa of Ripping Off 'Dancing With The Stars' Format
The case will be heard in Rome on Friday.
LONDON - BBC Worldwide, the licensing and commercial arm of the British broadcaster, is suing Italian broadcast group Mediaset, Endemol Italy and Televisa over what it believes is a rip-off of its hit format Dancing With The Stars. The case will be heard in Rome on Friday.
Worldwide, which has licensed Dancing to over 35 broadcasters internationally, believes that a Televisa format that has been produced by Endemol Italy for Mediaset's commercial channel Canale 5, infringes the copyright of its own hit format.
BBC Worldwide already licenses Dancing With The Stars to Mediaset's rival channel RAI, the state broadcaster, which has aired Bailando Con Le Stelle for the past six years.
The disputed show, titled called Baia! has yet to air in Italy, but is understood to be based on a Televisa format, Bailando Por Un Sueno (Dancing For A Dream) a raunchy dance competition show that has been on air in South America.
BBC sources say that the Mediaset-produced version, produced for Canale 5 by Endemol Italy, can be blocked before it goes on air.
"BBC Worldwide takes the protection of its copyright extremely seriously and is currently undertaking legal action in Italy to protect its Dancing With The Stars format," the BBC said.
"It has been named as the world's most successful reality TV format and has been licensed to over 35 international broadcasters.
"It is very important to BBC Worldwide and its international licensees that the format is protected from infringement."
But Mediaset deputy chairman Pier Silvio Berlusconi, the son of the Italian Prime Minister, appeared to downplay the differences between the formats.
"It is a dancing talent show with the peculiarity of involving both celebrities and normal people. The dance talent show is a format that works on commercial television everywhere in the world. We certainly wouldn't claim that the only reality format is Big Brother," he said.
Format disputes are notoriously difficult to police through the courts, with many participants preferring to arbitrate out of court - such as the long dispute between the makers of Pop Idol (which later became American Idol) and Popstars.
However, by taking action in the Italian courts, the BBC is taking the high risk strategy of allowing a non-format specialist judge to potentially set an industry precedent.

With the Season Premiere just a month away, it looks like the titular "Revenge" might not just be Emily Thorne's to seek anymore. After taking down the Grayson family in the third season finale, this Season 4 preview seems to suggest that the tables might have turned; now Victoria Grayson is on the hunt. Check out the video below.
Emily Van Camp stars as Emily Throne, a young woman dedicating her life to seeking revenge on the people that framed her father, who died in jail... or did he?
Madeleine Stowe plays the wicked Victoria Grayson, who once was in love with Throne's father, but helped set him up to take the fall for a deadly act of terrorism.
The new season of "Revenge" debuts on ABC on September 28th.

Don't really take a lot of photos though, so this is from a few weeks ago, where I was smoozing-about in my apartment. I would have said "sitting down Indian-style", but I don't think that's politically correct. I think the kids call it "criss cross apple sauce" style now.

Maine Democrats are struggling to find a strong contender to challenge for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Olympia J. Snowe, but both parties may find their picks overshadowed by the independent candidacy of popular former Gov. Angus King.
With several high-profile Democrats deciding not to run, and as Mrs. Snowe's decision last month not to seek re-election left Republicans little time to find replacement candidates, Mr. King has emerged as the favorite in the race.
"I've seen some people say [Mr. King's] inevitable, and I wouldn't go that far, because the Republicans have some relatively attractive people" running, University of Maine political science professor Mark Brewer said.
"That being said, King's clearly the front-runner, and whoever the nominee is … both the Democrats and Republicans are going to have a really difficult uphill slog to try to take this away from him."
Last Thursday's filing deadline in Maine for partisan Senate candidates passed with three key potential Democrats sitting out the race: Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud, and former Gov. John Baldacci, who succeeded Mr. King.
Mr. Michaud made his decision before Mr. King announced he would get into the race, while Mrs. Pingree and Mr. Baldacci said no only after Mr. King launched his campaign. While each would've made a strong push to win the seat without the former governor in the race, a King candidacy would've significantly hurt their chances, political experts say.
"For Chellie and for all the other people who decided not to get in on this after King made his announcement, it was just sort of a cold political calculation; they looked at the numbers and said this is going to be a tough one to win," Mr. Brewer said.
Four Democrats turned in the required 2,000 signatures by Thursday's filing deadline to run: former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap, state Sen. Cynthia Dill, state Rep. Jon Hinck and Benjamin Pollard.
On the Republican side, six have qualified: Secretary of State Charlie Summers, Attorney General William Schneider, state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, state Sen. Debra Plowman, former Maine Senate President Richard Bennett and Scott D'Amboise.
Mr. Summers and Mr. Dunlap, boosted by their experience serving in statewide office, have the inside tracks to win their June 12 primaries, many political experts say. But the crowded GOP primary is more difficult to predict, with Mr. Schneider expected to make a strong run. Mr. Poliquin also could be a threat, though he has been dogged by an ethics violation regarding a tax issue.
But Mr. King has the early momentum, boosted by his reputation for rising above partisan fray while serving as an independent governor from 1995 to 2003 — a plus in a state with a history of moderate politics and successful independent candidacies.
"Even though he hasn't been in office for a number of years, he continues to be viewed very positively by a lot of people in Maine, and [his candidacy] just made it very, very difficult, I think, for any of these other potential top-tier candidates to make that race," Mr. Brewer said.
Mr. King's candidacy could set up a scenario similar to Maine's 2010 gubernatorial race in which independent candidate Eliot Cutler won many Democratic and independent votes while grabbing more than 36 percent of the election tally.
Mr. Cutler's presence in the race has been credited for enabling tea party-backed Republican Paul LePage to win with only 38 percent of the vote. Democrat Libby Mitchell garnered only 19 percent.
"In regards to the identity of the [Maine Democratic Party], we're still sort of waiting for the dust to clear," said Ronald Schmidt Jr., a political science professor at the University of Southern Maine.

One of the Rock's more sophisticated restaurants, 14 On the Quay is appropriately located in Queensway Quay, which is less brash than nearby, newer Ocean Village. The menu changes with the seasons, but starters like lemon risotto with seared scallops and mains including the likes of roasted loin of wild boar with the classic British bubble and squeak are all served on locally produced, exquisite, crystal plates. Desserts such as the creamy malt-flavored mousse with a chocolate crust and shortbread are sublime.
