Pokémon Sinnoh Region Playset
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Revision as of 16:19, 25 November 2011 by YoshisWorld (Talk | contribs) (→Features)
The Pokémon Sinnoh Region Playset is a toy set manufactured by Jakks Pacific. It can be used as a habitat or battle arena for plastic Pokémon toy figures. It has some electronic features and includes a bag of slime which can be used to simulate a waterfall. A Buizel figure is included.
- The playset resembles a mountain (possibly Mt. Coronet) and has three main "levels" - a mountaintop, a grassy area, and a lake. The inside of the playset can also be used as a cave.
- The playset can be expanded with sold-separately "battle links".
- On the mountaintop, there are two Poké Ball platforms which a Jakks Pacific-made Pokémon figure can be set. There are two switches and when pressed, a generic blue "attack" is fired out and it may knock the opposing Pokémon off.
- The mountaintop can "explode", causing two stones to fly off with an electronic "boom" sound.
- The exploding mountain can also cause blue slime to come out of the mountain, filling in the river and going down the waterfall and landing in a basin near the lake.
- On the bottom level, there is a little "house" which reveals a stickered Bidoof when a sign is turned.
- The grassland has a platform which has a trap door which can cause a Pokémon to fall into a cave behind Bidoof's house.

Will George Zimmerman walk? Growing belief Trayvon shooter will escape jail over killing teen as 'prosecution case crumbles'
- Experts say prosecutors failed to prove murder 'beyond reasonable doubt'
- Ex Sentencing Commission economist: 'It should never have gone to court'
- Speculation mounts as defence begin their presentation to court
Speculation is growing that George Zimmerman will walk free over the shooting of Trayvon Martin amid claims the prosecution's case has 'crumbled'.
Experts say that lawyers acting on behalf of the State of Miami have failed to show that Zimmerman did not reasonably believe the gunshot was 'necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm' to himself.
It comes as prosecutors rounded off their two-week presentation, that included 38 witnesses, and handed the floor to Zimmerman's defence team on Friday.
Wink, wink: George Zimmerman is greeted by defense counsel Don West during his trial
Argue: Prosecutors said Zimmerman's ability to understand criminal investigations and desire to be a police officer doesn't show wrongdoing, but is relevant to Zimmerman's state of mind on the night Martin was killed
Tussle: In essence, prosecutors have tried to paint the ex-policeman as a vigilante law-keeper who regularly reported black teenagers in his area, followed the 17-year-old before killing him in cold blood during a tussle on the ground
In essence, they have tried to paint the wannabe-policeman as a vigilante lawman who regularly reported black teenagers in his area, and followed the 17-year-old before killing him in cold blood during a tussle in the street.
The defence, however, claim he spotted Trayvon walking through his estate, called police and got out of his car only to take down an address before the youngster jumped him, smashed his face on the concrete floor and pummelled him. At that point, his lawyers say, he shot Trayvon in the chest.
ABC News' legal expert Dan Abrams said while parts of Zimmerman's account lack credibility, the prosecution has not done enough to convince a jury.
He wrote: 'Now that the prosecution's case against Zimmerman is in, as a legal matter, it is difficult to see how jurors find proof beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't self defense'.
'Self defence': The defence claim he was attacked by Trayvon, above, and shot him during a tussle on the ground
Injured in the tussle: Don West, a defense attorney for George Zimmerman, displays a photo of his client, from the night of the shooting
He told ABC News: 'I just don't see how a jury convicts him of second degree murder or even manslaughter in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.'
He continued: 'Now no matter how it started, if Zimmerman shot Martin because he reasonably believed it was the only way to protect himself from "great bodily harm" then he is not guilty. That's the law.'
It is a notion shared by Fox News' Jon Lott, who claims the prosecution's argument is so thin that it should 'never have been brought' to court.
He claim's that focusing on the fact that Zimmerman committed murder knowing the 'Stand your Ground' law would protect him does not stand up.
He points out that the fact that both sides agree that the pair were locked in a tussle on the ground makes the clause, which exonerates a homeowner if they
shoot an intruder only when they have retreated to a 'reasonable
standard' and issued a warning before pulling the trigger, near impossible to argue.
Lott said: 'Prosecutors' problem is that they have to do more than eventually convince people that their version of events is "likely", and they haven't come close to doing that. Instead, they have to show that they are true beyond a "reasonable doubt."'
He claimed comments made in the wake of the killing by President Obama ('if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'), Rev. Al Sharpton, and others 'surely stirred up the racial aspects of the case and appear to have generated many case across the country where blacks attacked whites to avenge Trayvon Martin'.
He adds: 'It is a case that prosecutors should never have brought, but they let politics influence their decision.
'Next, it will be the defense's turn to present their case. But, for all practical purposes, the Zimmerman trial is already over.'
Interrogation: A video of George Zimmerman being interviewed at the Sanford police station by Officer Singleton is projected on a video monitor for the jury
Evidence: A video of George Zimmerman giving a DNA sample at the Sanford police station with bandages visible on the back of his head is shown to the jury
Solemn: Trayvon Martin's parents Tracy Martin, left, and Sybrina Fulton, enter the courtroom after a recess on Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Greeting: Zimmerman shakes the hand of one of his legal team, defense attorney Mark O'Mara, at the start of his trial
Today jurors will hear the defence's presentation after listening to prosecutors for the past two weeks.
Zimmerman's attorneys will continue calling witnesses on Monday. That could include some of the same neighbors and investigators called by prosecutors.
The defense called its first two witnesses Friday after prosecutors rested and Judge Debra Nelson denied a request for acquittal.
Zimmerman's mother and uncle testified that it was Zimmerman screaming for help on a 911 call that captured the fight between Zimmerman and 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder for fatally shooting Martin. He is claiming self-defense.
Still uncertain is whether Zimmerman will testify. Jurors already have heard his account through videotaped police interviews played in court.

Sunderland lead race for Nzonzi after Kean leaves midfielder out of pre-season squad
Sunderland are preparing to lead the chase for Blackburn's Steven N'Zonzi after he was dropped from the Championship side's pre-season tour.
The French midfielder was left out of Blackburn's camp in Austria by manager Steve Kean after the breakdown of talks last week. Keane has reluctantly accepted the 23-year-old will leave Ewood Park for around £5million in the next seven weeks.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill, who is also keen on N'Zonzi's Rovers team-mate Junior Hoilett, is ready to match Blackburn's evaluation after owner Ellis Short confirmed he will fund another spending spree this summer.
Tough tackler: Steven Nzonzi wants to leave Blackburn
But O'Neill knows he faces
competition from Arsenal, Tottenham and Aston Villa for the former
Amiens player, who was one of the few plusses of Blackburn's relegation
last season. He has three years remaining on his current deal.
Already armed with an additional
£6million from Asamoah Gyan's move to Al Ain, O'Neill is ready to
off-load midfield pair David Meyler and Ahmed Elmohamady to his
Sunderland predecessor Steve Bruce who is looking to bolster his new
Hull squad.
Sunderland chairman Short has
overseen drastic changes in the last two summers at the Stadium of Light
and is looking for O'Neill to implement a more coherent recruitment
plan before the closure of the August transfer window.
O'Neill's top target is Wolves'
£15million-rated striker Steven Fletcher and billionaire Short has
indicated he will stretch the budget to land the Scotland international
and others.
Short said: 'Martin is looking at
specific players we might want and there will be a lot of work in trying
to get those players here. But we don't want to sign players for the
sake of signing them, or because it feels inexpensive.
'We want to identify players who are good and who will definitely improve us, and try to bring them in.
'We want to be well within the top
10. We certainly can't promise that, but we're not happy with where we
are and we want to continue to improve.
'There's a huge pressure to do so - both from the fans and their expectations, and from the sheer size of the economics that are involved in the Premier League. We feel that with Martin, and with the progress we have made, we are well positioned.'

EP Urges Macedonia to Form Joint Committee on History with Bulgaria
The European Parliament has urged the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to create a joint expert committee with Bulgaria to tackle the sensitive issue of history education in the country.
The committee's task will be to further the objective interpretation of historical events, increase the cooperation in the academic field and improve the attitudes youngsters have towards their neighbors, the European Parliament has explained.
It was Bulgarian MEP from the Group of Socialists and Democrats Evgeni Kirilov who came up with the proposal for a joint expert committee. Kirilov's proposal was included in the amendments to the draft resolution on Macedonia's progress that was passed by the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs on Tuesday.
Macedonia has tried to "steal" key parts of Bulgaria's history on a number of occasions. In 2011, the Macedonian government erected statues of medieval Bulgarian ruler Samuil and other historical figures who were active in the region in an effort to showcase what the country perceives as its own "historical heritage".
Since the early Middle Ages, all the way to the first half of the 20th century, Macedonia and its Slavic population were considered part of the Bulgarian nation not just by Bulgaria but also by its neighbors and the international community. This is why from its National Liberation in 1878 till 1944 Bulgaria waged five wars attempting to unite all of the Bulgarian-populated lands in the Balkans, including Macedonia – after the San Stefano Treaty of March 1878 providing one state for almost all Bulgarian-populated regions was revised three months later by the European Great Powers in the Treaty of Berlin leaving the regions of Thrace and Macedonia out of Bulgaria.
After both World War I and World War II, however, Serbia/Yugoslavia kept control of 40% of the territory of the geographic and historical region of Macedonia, the so called Vardar Macedonia (which in 1991 became the Republic of Macedonia), Greece retained about 50% of the region – the so called Aegean Macedonia, while only 10% of the region – the so called Pirin Macedonia – remained in Bulgaria.
The foundations of the contemporary Macedonian nation were invented in 1944 by Yugoslavia's communists at a special congress that also proclaimed the creation of a Macedonian language and a Macedonian alphabet designed to differentiate the dialects spoken in the region of Macedonia from the Bulgarian language and to underline the creation of a distinct Macedonian national identity.

Leadtek A170 GeForce4 MX440 Review
At the end of the day, the Leadtek A170 is the most overclockable, cheapest value market video card that for dollar. To demo it does not disappoint anyone who would invest in one for their value box. While lacking the GF4's extra features such as DX8 support, 2nd pixel shader, nVidia does have to cut some extras out to make it affordable, yet still worth your money. GF4MX is very much the card for everyone.
Scoring just behind out GF3 Ti500 card and at less than half the price, we can see nVidia is planning to phase out the GF3 line of cards. After all, why buy a AU$800 GF3 Ti500 when you can get a AU$300 GF4MX 440 and overclock it, getting the same results as the Ti500? I see none.
With this said, Leadtek have done a fantastic job keeping us value market users happy while giving something that is worth our dollars.
- Pros
Ultra Fast Value card
Very cheap
Retail Games Included
Excellent Video in and Out quality
- Cons
No DX8 support

This application is the U.S. divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/123,610 filed May 20, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,855,170.
This invention relates to cementing oil and gas wells, more particularly, to the manufacturing of a new synthetic glass family in the quaternary phase field of CaO—SiO2-Al2O3-MgO (CSAM). The new synthetic glass family can be used for conventional cementing oil and gas wells operations, for instance to replace the blast furnace slag in mud-to-cement (MTC) technology and also for the construction areas.
Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a by-product produced in the manufacturing of iron, iron ore, iron scrap and limestone fluxes or dolomite fluxes. BFS is nonmetallic and consists primarily of silicates, alumninosilicates and calcium-alumina-silicates. Since slag is a by-product of the manufacturing of iron, the exact chemical composition of the slag is difficult to measure. Differing forms of BFS may be produced by the method used to cool the BFS. BFS may be cooled by rapid water quenching to obtain a granulated slag with cementitious properties.
Due to its cementitious properties BFS has been mixed with Portland cement and water based drilling fluid to create cement slurries that exhibit superior strength and increased thermal and chemical stability over conventional oil well cements. BFS is a commercial by-product that is generally available from slag processors located near iron manufacturing centers. BFS must therefore be imported to regions of the world that do not have blast furnace technology or do not produce iron.
When BFS or Portland cement is mixed with water based drilling fluids a unique cementing technique known as mud-to-cement (MTC) is created. A water based drilling fluid is mixed with the BFS, and/or Portland cement and activators. The mixture is then transformed into cementitious system.
In steam injection techniques and other oil extraction processes that require increased well temperatures, the cementing material used must be able to withstand elevated temperature and thermal cycling associated with steam flood. The conventional Portland cement and also the water based drilling fluids mixed with Portland cement exhibit high thermal degradations. This degradation damages the well resulting in repairs which increase operation costs. In steam injection techniques, the mixture of water based drilling fluids and BFS for MTC technology exhibits a higher compatibility and lower thermal degradation than Portland cement. As a result, BFS is preferred over Portland cement for MTC.
In some regions of the world where steam injection techniques are employed, BFS is not readily available and is therefore imported. The high costs associated with importing BFS compounded by the unknown heterogeneous chemical composition of the BFS, unknown remaining crystalline phases in the BFS and the potential need for an additional milling process is a disadvantage suffered by regions of the world that do not produce BFS.
As a result, there is a need for an economical BFS replacement in regions of the world that do not produce BFS. The new synthetic cementing glass of the present invention may replace BFS in any well cementing operation. The synthetic glass of the present invention is an advantageous well cementing constituent that may be successfully implemented in differing temperature dependent processes, such as the steam injection technique employed for heavy crude oil extraction.
The primary object of the present invention is the creation of a new synthetic glass family in the quaternary phase field of CaO—SiO2-Al2O3-MgO (CSAM) with hydraulic and pozzolanic properties. The synthetic glass family exhibits superior chemical and physical properties as compared to BFS.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of making MTC slurries by replacing BFS with a 100% amorphous material of high purity and zero crystallization.
It is still a further object of the present invention to produce MTC slurries which consists of using the new homogeneous synthetic glass family in order to develop cementing systems with better chemical and physical properties compared to the systems currently used in differing well cementing operation applications.
It is still a further object of the present invention to produce a homogenous amorphous synthetic glass from a mixture of inorganic materials selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, and Na2O+K2O.
In accordance with the present invention a MTC fluid is disclosed which comprises a mixture of inorganic materials selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, Na2O+K2O, wherein the mixture is in the amorphous phase with a degree of crystallization of zero; a high pH solution; a liquid phase, such as a water based drilling fluid; powdered amorphous silica; and antifoam additive.
In further accord with the present invention a method of producing a MTC slurry is disclosed which comprises the steps of: manufacturing a synthetic glass by activating the synthetic glass by reaction with a high pH solution, mixing the synthetic glass with water based drilling fluids, powdered amorphous silica, and adding an antifoam additive. The synthetic glass is created by mixing inorganic materials selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and Na2O+K2O; melting the mixture of inorganic materials; quenching the mixture of inorganic materials, wherein the glass materials reach the amorphous phase with a degree of crystallization of zero; and, milling the quenched mixture of inorganic materials.
In yet further accord with the present invention a method for treating subterranean oil and gas wells is disclosed comprising the steps of creating MTC slurries by mixing a first additive, second additive, third additive and fourth additive; and, deploying the MTC fluid into a subterranean well. The first additive is a synthetic glass created by obtaining inorganic minerals; mixing; melting; and quenching the inorganic minerals to obtain a synthetic glass that reaches the amorphous phase with a degree of crystallization of zero. The synthetic glass consists of inorganic materials selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and Na2O+K2O. The second additive is a high pH solution comprising caustic soda and soda ash. The third additive is water based drilling fluids and the fourth additive comprises antifoam and silica flour.
A detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention follows, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
The invention relates to the synthesis of a cost effective 100% amorphous material, i.e. a material that exhibits zero crystallization, with a pure chemical composition that is cooled at a sufficient rate to avoid crystallization. The cost effective amorphous material is a synthetic glass that controls the thermal behavior of cementitious materials used for conventional cementing and/or blended cement manufacturing. In one preferred embodiment, an amorphous material is used to replace MTC blast furnace slag (BFS).
Hereinafter the term "synthetic glass" is used to refer to any one or all of the following terms: amorphous material, homogeneous synthetic glass, synthetic glass family, synthetic glass materials and/or cementing glasses.
The synthetic glass of the present invention comprises a pure chemical composition in the quaternary phase field of CaO—SiO2-Al2O3-MgO (CSAM). The CSAM system is derived from readily obtainable inorganic materials.
In order to achieve a synthetic glass with a known homogenous chemical composition, the readibly attainable raw inorganic minerals are first mixed. Hereinafter, the terms "inorganic materials" and "inorganic minerals" are used interchangeably to indicate the raw starting materials used to synthesize the synthetic glass. The inorganic materials may be waste catalytic materials, synthetic zeolite, and/or natural zeolite. They may be blast furnace metallurgical slags and/or electrical arc furnace slags related to metal manufacturing, such as ferro-nickel, ferro-vanadium and ferro-silicium. They may also be minerals, such as kaolin, silica, dolomite, calcium carbonate and the like. These inorganic materials may be obtained from commercial powders or granulates. The inorganic materials may be mixed in any fashion that is well known within the art.
The inorganic materials of the present invention can be mixed in any manner which is known to a person skilled in the art. Within this scope, examples of particularly suitable mixing procedures include dry mixing; wet mixing; and, wet mixing of disperse inorganic mineral slurries that are then dried before melting.
To produce a synthetic glass of a desired composition, the exact chemical compositions of the starting inorganic materials can be identified by differing physical and chemical analysis. The exact chemical composition of certain suitable starting inorganic materials for use in the present invention were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemically analyzed by energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) and the results are shown in Table 1.
Chemical compositions by SEM and EDS of the raw
inorganic materials in % weight/weight (w/w) used to obtain
the synthetic glass.
Dolomite %
Ca carbonate %
Kaolin %
Silica %
Exact ratios of the starting inorganic minerals measured in Table 1 can be mixed to produce a cementing glass with the CSAM theoretical ranges presented in Table 2 as desired according to the invention.

cementing glass in % w/w.

The synthetic glass of the present invention is a homogenous glass of high purity. The purity of the synthetic glass depends upon the inorganic minerals used to form the glass. If the glasses are produce from raw waste catalysts, such as synthetic zeolitic waste material from a catalytic process in a fluidized bed, small amounts (parts-per-million) of waste chemicals may be found in the final composition. These waste chemicals, such as nickel (Ni), cerium (Ce), lantanum (La) and vanadium (V) may be found in the final synthetic glass composition. Irregardless of the waste minerals used to create the synthetic glass, the glass is composed to contain greater than 90% glass content in the CSAM system of Table 2, with preferably greater than 95% glass content in the CSAM system of Table 2.
After the raw inorganic materials are mixed in appropriate ratios to achieve the desired CSAM composition, the inorganic materials are then melted. In manufacturing scenarios, the melting may take place in any furnace that is well known within the art, such as a gas furnace. To facilitate melting, the composition is heated to a temperature of 1150� C. to 1550� C. for a period of 2 to 4 hours. The material is heated until all inorganic materials are in a homogeneous liquid phase. The inorganic material of the present invention can for example be melted in a platinum crucible at 1500� C. for approximately 3 hours.
The hot homogeneous liquid phase is then quenched, for example in water at 20� C. The temperature of the hot homogeneous liquid phase is reduced at an extreme rate to avoid crystallization. Any quenching method that is known to a person of skill in the art may be used. Such as a quenching method that utilizes fast movement and/or agitation of the hot homogeneous liquid phase into water cooling equipment, such as water sprays or water drums. An example of a quenching method in accordance with the present invention is the fast agitation of the hot homogeneous liquid phase into 20� C. water, which reduces the temperature of the liquid glass by greater than 500� C. per second (� C./s). This extreme rate of quenching is employed to suppress the crystallization of the homogeneous liquid phase.
Once the synthetic glass is formed and cooled, the glass is then dried. A conventional drying oven was used in the present invention; however, any drying method that is well known within the art may be used to eliminate the remnant water after quenching.
Once the synthetic glass is dried, the glass is then milled. Any milling equipment for mineral processing that is known to a person skilled in the art may be used, such as ball milling equipment, pendular milling equipment, roller milling equipment, and others. One particularly suitable approach to milling in accordance with the present invention is milling through the use of ball milling equipment. The milling is preferably carried out to produce a particle size of less than 45 μm with a Blaine fineness of between 2500-7000 cm2/g.
The method detailed above was used to create two experimental chemical glass compositions: Composition 1 and Composition 2. Both Composition 1 and Composition 2 have specific CSAM compositions as shown in Table 3 below. These compositions are compared to the composition of a sample of commercial slag.
Chemical composition of Composition 1 and
Composition 2 as compared to the commercial slag in % w/w.

Slag (%)

Since commercial slag is a by-product of iron production each sample is heterogeneous and may have a differing composition. Due to the heterogeneous nature of commercial slag the degree of crystallization and level of iron oxide content are unpredictable. The iron oxide content in the commercial slag affects the amorphous degree of the slag which in turn affects hydraulicity index of the commercial slag. Since each batch of commercial slag is heterogeneous in nature and variable, the commercial slag composition given in the present application is a generalization of one sample of a commercial slag. This heterogeneous nature can be undesirable, for example a commercial slag with a large iron oxide concentration will affect the hydraulicity index of the resulting fluid.
The exact chemical contents of Composition 1 and Composition 2 where analyzed by EDS. The averages shown above in Table 2 were calculated from ten measurements for each sample.
As shown in Table 3 and
Composition 1 and Composition 2 where analyzed and compared to the commercial slag sample through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
Simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements were performed using a 20� C./min heating rate. The correct ratios of the inorganic raw minerals were mixed to obtain the final synthetic glasses Composition 1 and Composition 2. The samples were placed in a platinum pan. An empty platinum pan was used as a reference. The data may be recorded by any method that is well known within the art; however, the data in the present invention was recorded using a computer-driven data acquisition system.
CaCO3→CaO+CO2↑ begins at 420� C. (1)
MgCa(CO3)2→MgO+CaCO3+CO2↑ begins at 820� C. (2)
MgCa(CO3)2→MgO+CaO+CO2↑ begins at 960� C. (3)
MgO+SiO2→MgSiO3 between 980-1150� C. (4)
CaO+SiO2→CaSiO3 between 1010-1150� C. (5)
Additionally, the following reaction can occur:
CaSiO3+MgSiO3→CaMg(SiO3)2 between 1010-1200� C. (6)
The second event is related to the melting step that shows a group of exothermic peaks indicating a sequential melting of diverse phases. This step begins at 1260� C.
The third and final event is related to a temperature of about 1450� C.
The multiple TGA and DSC reactions exhibited by Composition 1 are related to the dissolution of silicates and the reaction with other aluminum phases obtained from the kaolin decomposition. The high melting point of this mixture can be attributed to the incorporation of about 12.20% of kaolin in the final glass. The high aluminum content of the kaolin raises the melting temperature of the composition.
Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O→Al2O3.2SiO2+2H2O between 420-700� C. (7)
Additionally, as shown in Table 3 below, Composition 2 shows a lower density than both Composition 1 and the sample of commercial slag. This effect can be attributed to the decrease in the amount of aluminum phases and the increase of SiO2 in the composition. The synthetic glass compositions of the present invention may exhibit a density of about 2.80 g/cc to about 2.95 g/cc, preferably about 2.80 g/cc to about 2.85 g/cc.
After producing and chemically characterizing the synthetic glasses, some of their physical properties were measured and compared with those of the commercial slag. In order to predict the hydraulic activity (latent) and to understand the strength retrogression phenomenon in these systems, the Hydraulic Index (HI) and the CaO/SiO2 ratio were calculated and are shown in Table 3. Also the density of both cementing glasses and the commercial slag are reported.

The compressive strength is the most important property of cementing materials and is frequently used as a quality control. In
An important step during the BFS and cementing glasses hydration is the development of mechanical properties at the initial curing. The hydration of these systems leads to their partial dissolution in the mixing water and to the precipitation of an amorphous calcium silicate hydrate (CSH gel) (i.e. poorly crystalline and amorphous calcium silicate hydrate of indefinite composition), aluminate and silicoaluminate hydrates. Normally, an augmentation of the Al2O3-content increases the early strength of the cementing system.
It is well known within the art that during the hydration of diverse cementing/pozzolanic materials, the CSH gel contributes a large portion of mechanical properties and stability to the final structure. CSH gel is very stable below 230� C. At higher temperatures the CSH gel is transformed into a hydrate dicalcium alphasilicate (α-C2SH) phase that is highly crystalline, denser than CSH gel and produces a compressive strength loss with a permeability increase once the cementitious materials set.
This phenomenon is known as "strength retrogression." To prevent the α-C2SH formation, powdered amorphous silica, i.e. silica flour, is used to adjust the CaO:SiO2 ratio. The silica flour stimulates the formation of tobermorite (C5S6H5) and xonotlite (C5S6H) phases. The tobermorite and the xonotlite phases form instead of the α-C2SH phase. By replacing the α-C2SH with the tobermite and xonotlite phases a cement with high mechanical properties is produced. The amount of silica flour used in the slurry is dependent upon the CaO:SiO2 ratio. An appropriate amount of silica flour is added to the slurry in order to maintain the CaO:SiO2 ratio as close to 1 as possible. Typically the slurry may incorporate between about 20% w/w to about 45% w/w silica flour.
The CaO:SiO2 ratios of Compositions 1, 2 and the commercial slag are calculated from Table 2 to be 1.30:1 for Composition 1, 1.09:1 for Composition 2 and 1.22:1 for the commercial slag sample.
Exact ratios of the differing raw materials previously characterized by SEM and EDS in Table 1 are mixed to obtain Composition 1 with 42.31% w/w CaO, 10.25% w/w MgO, 32.34% w/w SiO2, 12.20% w/w Al2O3, 1.30% w/w Fe2O3, 1.60% w/w Na2O+K2O. The homogenous mixture is melted in a platinum crucible at 1500� C. for 3 hours. The liquid is then quenched in water at 20� C. to suppress crystallization. The synthetic glass is then milled to a controlled particle size of less than 45 μm.
Exact ratios of the differing raw materials previously characterized by SEM and EDS in Table 1 are mixed to obtain Composition 2 with 40.60% w/w CaO, 10.45% w/w MgO, 37.10% w/w SiO2, 9.85% w/w Al2O3, 1.00% w/w Fe2O3, 1.00% w/w Na2O+K2O. The homogenous mixture is melted in a platinum crucible at 1500� C. for 3 hours. The liquid is then quenched in water at 20� C. to suppress crystallization. The synthetic glass is then milled to a controlled particle size of less than 45 μm.
Synthetic glass Composition 1 and/or Composition 2 prepared by the methods detailed in Examples 1 or 2 above are mixed with a liquid phase that could be used for the construction of steam injection wells. Examples of liquid phases include oil based drilling fluids and water based drilling fluids. Preferably the liquid phase is a water based drilling fluid, such as water-based muds, fresh water mud, sea water mud, salt mud, brine mud, lime mud, gypsum mud and oil-in-water emulsions. The mixture forms a slurry that is activated by reaction with a high pH solution, such as caustic soda and soda ash. In order to prevent strength retrogression, other compounds such as antifoam, silica flour and additional cementing materials are added to the slurry. These additional cementing materials may include any additives that are used to control cement properties, i.e. mechanical properties, thermal properties or chemical resistance to H2S or CO2. Examples of additional cementing materials are set retardants, plasticizers, glass microspheres and/or ceramic microspheres and straightening agents.
The resultant slurries can be a homogenous MTC system which, upon solidification, possesses increased strength. The resultant MTC slurries are advantageously deployed into subterranean wells by any method which is well known within the art. This allows the use of economical MTC slurries in areas that are remote from BFS production. Costs associated with the importation of BFS are alleviated by replacing BFS in MTC with the synthetic glass of the present invention.
The synthetic glass of the present invention may be implemented in other possible applications. The final physical and chemical characteristics of the synthetic glass of the present invention may be applied to conventional cementing well technology, blended cement manufacturing, bridge construction, dam construction, onshore/offshore construction, coastal infrastructure, and any application that may benefit from the cementitious/pozzolanic properties of the present invention.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the illustrations described and shown herein, which are deemed to be merely illustrative of the best modes of carrying out the invention, and which are susceptible of modification of form, size, arrangement of parts and details of operation. The invention rather is intended to encompass all such modifications which are within its spirit and scope as defined by the claims.

Our Icelandic international was a key figure in our Capital One Cup victory over Hull City, which saw us finally triumph 8-7 on kicks from the spot after 120 minutes of football ended with the scores level at 2-2.
Earlier, Gylfi rifled in our opener – a goal of the season contender – and put in a real shift throughout the prolonged match before confidently tucking away our opening penalty in the shootout.
But with nine penalties each needed to decide the tie, Gylfi admitted his mind was starting to turn towards a second round of spot kicks before goalkeeper Brad Friedel saved from Ahmed Elmohamady to see us into the next round.
"I thought I was going to have to take another!" he said afterwards.
"No-one was missing but then Brad did well on the last one and thankfully that finished it."
The 24-year-old was also delighted with his first half strike, which arrowed into the top corner from long range.
"It was nice to get the goal. I hit it quite sweetly and thankfully it hit the target," he added.
"We dominated the game but they got a lucky goal in the second half and then made it difficult for us. Harry then came on and scored the equaliser and that changed the game for us."

Danny Rose has identified former Spurs team-mate Gylfi Sigurdsson as someone to keep tabs on as England prepare for their first knockout game at Euro 2016 against Iceland tonight (Monday, June 27).

Snowy Egret gets one (actually several)
Dec 19, 2013
Had an opportunity to track this Snowy Egret as it fished down a small channel.
In just a couple of passes over an hour, it must have caught well over 15 small fish.
Still getting to grips with technique here so could only catch a few of them with decent sharpness and exposure.
C&C welcome.
One question, would SR off have made a difference in my keeper rate? All of these were shot with SR on (my default option unless I am using a tripod)?
Thanks for looking,

Let's take a look today at the prophecy in chapter 12 of the book of Daniel. You'll see that prophetic knowledge does not usually flow sequentially. The book of Isaiah for instance, has several verses you may not understand but then you suddenly you read "unto us a son is given and his name shall be called him Immanuel" which is a great and significant prophecy about Christ our Lord. You read consecutive verses which may confuse you but then alas, you see, "if you are willing and obedient you shall eat of the fruit of the land," you lack … Read More
"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory" (1 Corinthians 2:7). The wisdom of God is a mystery. Do you believe that, dear Christian friend? Today, I will continue to share with you the wisdom which is wrapped in mystery. The wisdom of God is such that, you will not understand all of it, but parts of it might be revealed to you. What you are meant to understand is what will be revealed to you. The wisdom of God is hidden from people in … Read More
Today, we continue in our study of wisdom from Proverbs 14. "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands" (Proverbs 14:1). Wise women are reading this now. Notice that it does not say beautiful women build their house. What is your house? Your house is your husband, your children, your home and the environment you live in. The Bible says that a wise woman builds this up but a foolish one plucks it down. Now, you may wonder why someone would pluck down what they are building. You will find out that a … Read More
We're moving on to the chapter 13 of the book of Proverbs. "A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke" (Proverbs 13:1). Here again is the exhortation to pay heed to our father's words. Try hard to be a person who listens to the instructions of fathers in your life. In life, we usually have more than one figure who plays the role of a father in our lives. No human being is solely good at being a father. So God gives people to us who act as fathers. Some have two, three, four or … Read More
Today I want to share with you, Wisdom 11. The reason we have had weeks of sharing on wisdom is so that wisdom can be imparted into your life.

Now, beloved people of God, the eighth chapter of the book of Proverbs throws even more light on where to find wisdom. "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

They have truly proved to be camps for the enlistment of the army of the Lord! They are our times of reunion, refreshment, rejuvenation but most importantly, what takes place is a reinstatement of our mission as a … Read More
The Lord continues to bless us through His word from the book of Proverbs. This week we delve into more wisdom concerning fathers, relationships and obedience. "My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye." (Proverbs 7:1-2) The first admonition is for us to pay attention to the commandments of a father.
