The General Cargo vessel, M/V Rim is reported to have been hijacked the morning of Feb. 3 in the Gulf of Aden to the north of the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC). M/V Rim is not registered with MSC HOA and has had no communications with UKMTO.
The Rim was in the North West area of the Gulf of Aden just south of the Yemeni coast. The Coaster is a general cargo ship of 4,800 tonnes, North Korean flagged and owned by White Sea Shipping of Libya. A coalition ship USS Porter that works closely with EU NAVFOR and a helicopter from USS Farragut, both of CMF CTF 151, confirmed that the Rim had been hijacked.
There are no reports of the composition or nationalities of the M/V Rim that has now altered course and is heading towards the Somali Basin. Coalition forces will now monitor the situation.

A new chance in Egypt for Islamic finance
Islamist influence seen promoting Islamic finance; Seen growing to draw Gulf funds for rebuilding; Egyptians wary of past corruption scandals
April 23, 2011 8:00 by Reuters
"Egypt is a religiously sensitive country. There are a number of families and small savers who wouldn't want to use the conventional system," he said. "If there's a movement towards interest-free banking, that would draw deposits."
Grassroots support is already emerging among conservative Muslims. Manal al-Moursi, another bank customer at Al Baraka Egypt Bank, said Egyptians are turning to Islamic finance, in part, to show their support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, was long persecuted as the main challenger to the ruling National Democratic Party in parliament and was one of the most vocal protesters during the demonstrations that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11.
With the dissolution of the NDP and growing acceptance of the Muslim Brotherhood in mainstream politics, experts say Islamists will have increasing influence in the new Egypt and Islamic finance will serve as one way to propagate Islamic values and gain supporters.
"The Muslim Brotherhood are for Islamic finance because it is related to religion," said Mohasseb Refaat, deputy manager at Bank of Alexandria. "They will promote the idea so long as it is in their benefit."
Refaat said the industry is likely to gain more footing in Egypt if the Brotherhood secures a significant number of seats in the 508-member parliament in September. One leading Brotherhood figure said the group could field candidates for as many as 49 percent of the seats.
Even secularists calling for less religion in society may make a pre-emptive attempt to promote Islamic finance ahead of elections to reach a wider group of constituents.
"Secularists will see supporting Islamic finance as a way of stealing the thunder of the Islamists by giving people an outlet to express their religiosity," Warde said. "We've seen that strategy in other markets such as Iraq and North America. Even groups that were opposed to political Islam looked to Islamic finance as a way of preventing extremism."
Britain and France, for example, have changed regulations to accomodate Islamic transactions. And Malaysia, with its thriving dual system of conventional and Islamic finance, has been the biggest success story in the industry, serving as a model for new markets looking to offer Islamic products.
Challenges Remain
Decades of lost growth, however, have left Egypt lacking proper financial regulation to accommodate Islamic financial instruments such as Islamic bonds, or sukuk.
The head of the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) said last year Egypt would issue its first regulations governing sukuk in the second half of 2010 and later delayed further to the first quarter of 2011. That deadline has passed as well as the government restructures and plans now appear in limbo.
Experts say the government will need to issue debt guidelines for sukuk issuance and remove tax barriers that make Islamic transactions commercially unviable in order to draw foreign investment from oil-rich Gulf countries.
And the revolution may spell a willingness among Egyptians to embrace alternatives, particularly if they can derive benefit from it for some of the social ills that sparked the protests.
Under the Mubarak regime, critics said the rich benefited from lending and other business opportunities while the poor were plagued by unemployment and low wages. Malik said Islamic finance with its focus on interest-free financing and ethical investments would appeal to the common man.
"I think the revolution gave a good push for Islamic finance to become the banking alternative in Egypt."

The first time I read Kippreport, you lost me right then and there. I have read 2 pieces one comparing Jolina Jolie to some beautiful indian lady; Tom Cruise being compared to I guess an indian actor called Salman Khan. The way descriptions were written were biased and were short to being hateful. I guess an indian muslim write that side of your news.
Next is this Islamic finance, mentioned particularly that other banks are usury and Islamic finance is blessed. What kind of an article is this? Biased, deceitful, and islamically radical. This is finance and not religion.
You must keep away from being religious, discriminate, and biased in your articles. It destroys your reputation. This is not the way journalism works. Open your eyes and thoughts to how journalism is done.
I have a get bet your moderator will not post this.

Field of the Invention This invention relates to a process of obtaining cooked meat fibres to be used in restructured meat. A low bulk density mass of meat fibres, which by means involving shearing rather than cutting can be obtained from cooked meat, contains coarser material such as coarse connective tissue of meat, unbroken or partly broken meat, balled up meat fibre, lumps of fat etc.
By the process of the invention such coarser material is separated from the meat fibres. The fibres substantially free from coarser material is useful for the incorporation in comminutes of raw lean meat taken from cuts of low quality e.g. forequarter of beef to obtain a restructured meat product which on cooking develops a desirable chewy but not tough texture.
Since such restructured meat is generally prepared by extrusion of a mass containing meat fibres and binding agents through relatively narrow extrusion gaps, which can easily be blocked by coarser material, the invention also serves an important technical requirement.
2. The Prior Art In Canadian Pat. No. 596,001 an apparatus is described suitable for separating meat e.g. from neck and other bones of chickens, turkeys and other fowls, for removing the edible from inedible portions of certain seafoods e.g. crabs, lobsters, fish and the like as well as for removing edible from inedible portions of certain animals.
This apparatus comprises a screening cage which by oscillatory movement and frequent sharp changes in the direction of movement will project the material to be treated which is contained in said cage with violent impact against the walls of the cage.
In this way it will be possible to separate the meat from very coarse material such as bones etc, but it will be evident that non fibrous material having dimensions similar to those of the coarse material which is separated by the process of the instant invention, will not effectively be separated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, cooked meat is first broken down to form a loose mass of cooked meat fibre and coarser material such as coarse connective tissue. (By the term loose mass, we mean simply that the mass is of low bulk density; the fibres in it may be, and often are, much tangled with one another). The low bulk density mass is then exposed to an ascending stream of gas thereby separating the meat fibres from the coarser material and subsequently the meat fibres are removed from the stream of gas. In this specification the term coarser material includes non fibrous material which at least in its major dimension is larger than the smallest dimension of the separated meat fibres. Preferably the cooked meat is broken down to a mass of a bulk density of 0.2 to 0.4 or 0.45 grams/cm particularly 0.25 0.35 grams/cm? Since meat fibres prepared from cooked meat of a high fat content tend to stick together after the meat has been broken down thereby detrimentally affecting the efficiency of the separation, it is preferred to use cooked meat of a rela tively low fat content e.g. 2 20%, particularly 5 In this specification all percentages and proportions are by weight unless otherwise stated. Although the meat fibres can e.g. by careful control of the bulk density and adjustment of the gas velocity etc. be separated from the coarser material and removed from the stream of gas after it has been ascended over a certain distance which by relatively simple experiments can be determined, the meat fibres are preferably separated from the stream of gas by carrying them upwardly through a screen which is substantially impervious to the coarser material. Although the length of the meat fibres can be much greater that the width of the screen apertures, the fibres-are nevertheless able to pass such a screen, probably because the flow of gas promotes alignment of the cooked meat fibres in a direction generally at right angles to the screen, whose apertures the fibres are thus enabled to negotiate. However, such bits of coarse material (particularly coarse connective tissue and gristle) as reach the screen are not able to penetrate it; and having lost their momentum, they then for the most part fall back under their own weight, leaving the screen apertures unblocked.
It has surprisingly been observed that alignment of broken down cooked meat in a gas stream almost exclusively takes place with meat fibres and that coarse material even of such dimensions that it could pass the screen if it was similarly orientated in the gas stream as the meat fibres, is sufficiently separated from the meat fibres by that screen.
This observation makes it possible to effect a proper separation and an improved throughput by using a screen having greater apertures than the one which would be selected after studying the histogram of the dimensions of all material present in the broken'down meat.
With any particular cooked meat it is a simple matter to choose a screen whose apertures will allow passage of the desired fibre without allowing passage of any substantial amount of undesirable coarse material.
The dimensions of the apertures of the screen will of course depend upon the sizes of the fibres to be used in the restructured meat products on the one hand and the sizes of the coarse material to be removed on the other hand. Where the fibres are required for meat products obtained by extrusion of a meat fibre containing mass through small holes to give threads which are later compacted, the diameters should be such that no blockages of the extrusion holes takes place.
When the fibres are required for meat products prepared by extrusion of a mass through greater holes to provide extruded slabs or logs, the fibres may be quite large, but there must be no lumps of connective tissue to offend the consumer.
Suitable products of these types are prepared by carrying the meat fibres upwardly through a screen which is substantially impervious to the coarser material, preferably a screen which is substantially impervious to the non-aligned coarser material. The apertures of such screens can vary from 4 to about 400 mm The meat fibres of the former type, which are of a diameter of about 0 1 mm, preferably 0.2 0.8 mm and a length of O 35 preferably 5 25 mm can be sorted out by screens having apertures ranging from about 4 to 20 or 30 mm The meat fibres of the latter type, which are of a diameter of about 0 2 mm preferably 0.2 1.0 mm and a length of O 50 preferably 5 50 mm are preferably sorted out by screens having apertures ranging from about 20 400 mm The low bulk density mass of broken down cooked meat should be exposed to an ascending gas stream of sufficient velocity to promote alignment of the cooked meat fibres to allow them to pass the screen. This ve locity depends on various factors, e. g. the geometry of the equipment used, the fibre size and the moisture and fat content of the fibres, and can easily be determined by some experiments. Suitable gas velocities vary from about 200 2000 m/min; preferably the gas consists of air or nitrogen.
In a preferred way of carrying out the invention, the loose mass of cooked meat fibres and coarse material is carried on a support screen, and the stream of gas which is to carry the fibre content from the mass is passed through this support screen before it contacts the mass. Preferably this support screen is vibrated during operation. It is also possible to expose the loose mass at least intermittently on the support screen to a current of air (or other gas inert to the meat) which is directed essentially transversely of the ascending stream, so as to facilitate release of cooked meat fibres from the mass into the ascending stream. This is conveniently done by directing jets of compressed air immediately above and generally parallel with the surface of the support screen. Similarly, a transverse current of air or other gas can be directed immediately below and generally parallel with the surface of the screen that filters out coarser material from the stream of ascending gas, so as to dislodge from the apertures of that screen such bits of coarser material as become enmeshed there.
According to a preferred method, breaking down of cooked meat into its constituent muscle fibres can be achieved by subjecting the pieces of cooked meat e.g. cubes with sides of /2 2 inches, preferably after separation of any gross fat deposits, to a shearing or rubbing action rather than a cutting action e.g. in a conventional bowl chopper with a blade setting from the wall of the bowl e.g. of not less than about 2 mm and preferably about 3 4 mm. Normally, when a bowl chopper is used for chopping raw meat,.the rotating blades are set to a finer gap of from 0.5 2mm clearance from the bowl wall in order to achieve very fine subdivision of the meat, but we have found that the use of such a fine setting when bowl chopping lean cooked mammalian or poultry meat generally results in subdivision to a very fine state where the proportion of muscle fibre bundles greater than 2 mm in length is small. However, by operating a bowl chopper with the wider blade setting, the cooked meat can thereby be rubbed apart rather than chopped, with a result that the individual muscle fibre bundles of the cooked meat can be readily teased apart and separated from each other without undue shortening in length.
Especially a cutter mixer e.g. of the type Hobart vertical cutter mixer bowl model VCM 25, in which apparatus when properly adjusted such shearing actions takes place is preferably used for the purpose of the invention. By some simple experiments in which the gap between the revolving blade and the wall is adjusted until a loose mass of the required bulk density and fibre size is obtained, the optimal blade setting for the various commercially available apparatus can be determined.
The invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention, which comprises means for breaking down cooked meat to form a mass of low bulk density, means for generating an ascending gas stream through said mass of low bulk density and means for separating meat fibres from the coarser material.
Preferably the apparatus comprises a tower for conducting the gas stream and having an inlet for the mass of low bulk density and an outlet for the separated cooked meat fibres in which tower a first screen is located through which screen the upwardly carried meat fibres can pass but which is substantially impervious to the coarser material and a second screen acting as a support screen for the mass of low bulk density which second screen is located below the first screen such that through said second screen the stream of gas is passed before it contacts the mass and such that sufficient separation of meat fibres and coarser material can take place and means for generating the gas stream of sufficient velocity to promote alignment ofthe meat fibres to allow them to pass the first screen.
The invention will now be further described with reference first to the accompanying drawing, which is a diagram of an apparatus for carrying it out, and then to the Examples following.
The apparatus comprises a chamber 1 whose upper Wall is formed by a filter screen 2. The lower wall of the chamber is formed by a support screen 3, onto which loose cooked meat material 4 can be fed from a hopper 5 via a duct 6 closable by a flap 7 hinged at its upper edge. At the level of the support screen, a part (not indicated) of the vertical wall of chamber 1 is detachable to allow access to the chamber for the removal of coarse tissue not able to pass the filter screen '2.
Around the vertical walls of chamber 1, adjacent the filter screen 2 and support screen 3 respectively, are nozles 8 and 9 by which compressed air can be intermittently directed across the chamber and adjacent to the surfaces of the screens.
At its lower end, chamber 1 is connected to a blower 11, conveniently a tangential fan, and'its upper end to a duct 12 through which the cooked meat fibres which are carried through filter screen 2 after release from the material 4 pass on their way to a collection vessel.
EXAMPLE 1 Frozen cooked topside of beef cut into cubes of 5 cm side was allowed to thaw for 16 hours at 2C and then treated in a cutter/mixer to break down its structure, with severance of the fine connective tissue binding the cooked meat fibres into fibre bundles. This operation necessarily brings about release from the meat structure of coarse connective tissue, gristle, and other material that would be disagreeable to bite on in a restructured meat product. (A very suitable cutter/mixer with which to break down the structure of the meat is the Hobart Vertical Model 25, equipped with dough knife No. 40; the cutters are operated at full speed about 3,000 rpm for l5 seconds.) Gross bits of gristle and the like were removed by hand from the fluffy mass of broken-down meat, and the mass was then admitted to chamber 1 of the apparatus shown in the drawing, to form onthe support screen 3 a layer from 2 to 5 cm deep. The blower 11 was then started up.
Under the following conditions, the results were as indicated below.
Average velocity of upward air stream from blower 11 300 metres/minute 1000 ft/min.). Screen characteristics:
Filter (screen 2) apertures, 4 mm X 4 diameter Support (screen 3): apertures, 0.5 min X 0.5 mm; wires 0.3 mm diameter I Distance between screens 2 and 3: 22 cm.
RESULTS Meat fibre product passing filter screen 2 mm; wires '1 mm a. Yield 25% by weight of initial loose rnass.
b. Product fluffy, easily separable into individual fibres,
and easy to distribute uniformly in raw meat comminutes.
c. Range of size Fibres predominantly of diameter 0.1 0.2mm, of-
variable length. Other fibres present had:
Length (mm) Diameter (mm) Residual coarse material on support screen 3 r This consisted predominantly of coarse connective tissue, lumps of meat which had not been fully broken down in the cutter/mixer, and matted fibre. There were also a few balls of fat. Typical dimensions (in mm) were:

19 X 19 filter scre'en gave g meat fibresthrough and 32 g coarse material left behind:
1 l X 1 1 filter screen gave g." meat fibres through and 28 g coarse material left behind.
5 X 5 filter screen gave 79 g meat fibres through an 100 g coarse material left behind. The material left behind on the support screen was examined with both the 19 X 19 mm and the 1 l X l 1 mm filter screen. 4 types of material were observed:
i. unbroken or partly broken pieces of cooked meat ii. balled up fibre iii. sheets of connective tissue iv. lumps of fat covered in fine fibre dust.
The sizes were typically:
i.19X7X5mm,25X3X3mm,18X7X2mm ii. discs (diameter first) 15 X 10 mm, 12 X 7 mm, 14
X 9 mm iii. practically none left with the 19 X 19 mm filter screen, only material with meat still attached eg 30 X25X5mm,27 2OX5mm.Withthe 11 X 11 mm filter screen there was a fair amount of material only 8 X 8 mm showing the trapping effect of the filter screen. Plenty of pieces were present up to 15X11X3mm.
iv. typically 8 X 8 X 3 mm.
The material left behind with the 5 X 5, mm filter screen was of the same type as with the 19 X 19 and 1 1 X l 1 mm screens, but had in addition finer material.
The sorted meat fibres that passed the screens was examined very carefully and the maximum cross sections given below are not typical, but were found exceptionally.
EXPERIMENT A Partly broken up fibre maximum length 32 mm with a cross section dimension as high as 5 mm.
Tangled disc-like mats of balled up fibre up to 12 mm in diameter and several mm thick.
Quantities of connective tissue 3 5 mm thick with dimensions as high as 27 X mm and with, many pieces of the order of 10 X 10 mm.
EXPERIMENT B Partly broken up fibre max, length 35 mm and many in the mm range.
Maximum dimensions 3.5 X 2.1 mm.
Quantities of connective tissue sheet thickness up to 3.0 mm, dimensions 20 X 8 mm, 18 X 10 mm, 11 X 7 EXPERIMENT C It was noticeable that there were many more long fibres with this screen than with the 4 X 4 mm screen used in Example 1. Maximum length 16 mm, maximum cross section 2.0 X 1.4 mm. Typical cross sections were 0.6 X 0.4, 0.6 X 0.6, 0.4 X 0.4 mm.

Grand jury indicts Bluff contractor
A Poplar Bluff contractor has been indicted for obtaining millions of dollars in federal contracts by falsely representing his company as a Native-American-owned business, federal court records state.
Michael F. Persons, 45, is free on bond after a federal grand jury indicted him on numerous violations.
He faces 12 felony charges, including obtaining illegal kickbacks, mail fraud, false statements, abuse of set-aside program and contract fraud against the government.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Price said Persons, president and primary owner of KAJACS Contractors Inc., has surrendered to federal authorities.
KAJACS was also indicted on four fraud charges.
Price said Persons had made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lewis Blanton on Friday for arraignment and a detention hearing. Blanton set a $10,000 secured bond, which Persons posted.
According to the indictment, on March 26, 1996, Persons allegedly used intimidation or threats against two KAJACS employees to obtain part of their compensation during a government sewer system construction project.
The indictment further charges that in September and October of 1996, Persons allegedly obtained money from various insurance companies providing coverage to or on behalf of Persons and KAJACS by means of fraudulent pretenses and false representations.
Mail fraud
The indictment alleges that on three separate occasions, Persons used the U.S. mail to defraud the insurance companies.
False inventory list of tools and equipment stolen and false invoices were allegedly among the items delivered by mail to insurance companies, the indictment says.
Checks from the insurance companies were then sent back via the mail to Persons and KAJACS based on those claims, the indictment says.
The indictment also alleges that Persons submitted false statements and fraudulent documents to the Small Business Administration in a "scheme to obtain special considerations during the procurement process of contract awards with the United States."

On deck: Mariners at Angels, Wednesday, 7 p.m.
Where: Angel Stadium
TV: Fox Sports West, 7 p.m.
Did you know: Angels DH Raul Ibanez led the Mariners with 29 homers last season.
LHP HECTOR SANTIAGO (4-9, 3.56 in 2013)
The left-hander who was one of the two pitchers acquired in the Mark Trumbo trade last year will make his Angels debut. Santiago, 26, is known for a wide repertoire of pitches, including a rare screwball.
- vs. Seattle: 0-0, 3.42
- At Angel Stadium: 0-0, 6.75
- Loves to face: Robinson Cano, 0 for 5 (.000)
- Hates to face: Justin Smoak, 2 for 2 (1.000)
Paxton was a first-round pick who didn't sign, but then couldn't enroll in college because he already had worked with Scott Boras as his agent. He then played independent ball and the Mariners drafted him in the fourth round in 2010. He gave up just 15 hits in 24 innings in his first four big league starts in 2013.
- vs. Angels: Never faced
- At Angel Stadium: First game

Workshop at Palmwoods
I have just finished two days of teaching "Floral Feast" with a group of ladies from the Palmwoods Arts & Crafts group, the first time I have run this particular workshop. The results were just stunning, I was so pleased and proud of how well all of the 10 ladies did, and whilst they didn't get them finished, what they did achieve was fantastic.
Friday, April 08, 2016
I have finished my latest pattern, titled "Silverwings", featuring a dragonfly with silver thread stitched wings. the dragonfly is raw edge appliqued, and the flowers and Art Nouveau style borders are turned applique. Pattern gives instructions for completing all applique by machine. It's 81cm x 63 cm. I really enjoyed working with the bright, vibrant colours in this piece and had fun stitching patterns into the background.

Floral Feast Workshop
I have been invited to teach at the Palmwoods Arts & Crafts group in April, and in consultation as to what the ladies wanted to learn, I have structured a new workshop, called Floral Feast. It is based on my floral quilts and participants will have a choice of three patterns to work from, designed from three of my works. They will paint their own background fabric and then construct the flowers and leaves whilst working on design elements to come up with their own work of art. We'll be running over two days, but this workshop has potential to run for double that to take participants right from the start, through to completion.

New Workshops for the New Year
I have been busy writing up some new workshops for 2016 and have finally finished the first one. It's a Curved Surface Piecing workshop, and to get participants going, they will select one of my two latest table runner patterns to learn the technique with. I made the flower one first, then decided a beachy themed table runner would be a nice alternative to opt for.

Pledging to protect our water
Countless individuals have worked with great dedication to protect the magnificent Delaware River—and other regional waterways—from a variety of potential harms. Sometimes that has called for heroic feats of activism to fend off the impacts of power lines, pipelines and natural gas extraction. In reality, all of the individual actions we take, based upon the choices we make, impact the quality of our water, and each of us can implement meaningful and manageable steps to minimize those impacts and protect our water.
