Dear Career, I'm starting to get really frustrated. My husband finally retired, and all I want is to provide for my family. I've submitted applications through USAJobs and a few contracting companies, but the only thing I've heard back in the last two-and-a-half months are a couple of rejections. What am I doing wrong? What should I be expecting? Help! Transitioning Spouse Dear Transitioning, I understand your frustration. I'm just gu... more
If you're like up to 42 percent of military spouses, according to a report by Blue Star Families issued last week, things like frequently moving and solo parenting have left you totally unemployed. Those with jobs are likely to be working in a position they're over-qualified to do, the report says, with more than half saying that having a spouse in the military has had a negative effect on their ability to find a job that meets their educatio... more
We all know that having a career while married to someone in the military can be hard -- really hard. That's why so many military spouses have become home-based entrepreneurs or turned to direct sales. While having your own home-based business may solve your career portability problems, it does open up a new world of other challenges, especially if you live in on-base housing. Every business operated out of on-base housing is suppo... more
Dear Career, I read all the time about "having it all," which to me means having a career, spending time with my family and having at least a tiny bit of down time throughout the week. Here's the problem I'm having: The military always wins. It's hard enough finding a job as a military spouse, but if my career is always second, how in the world are we supposed to "have it all?" -- Second Fiddle in South Carolina Dear Second Fiddle, I fe... more
Dear Career, I have been unemployed for five months thanks to moving to a new duty station. I have applied for hundreds of jobs and attended job fairs, but I've had only two interviews so far. I have experience and a degree, so I can't figure out what is going on. I thought I was targeting my resume, but based on not finding good leads, I think something must be missing. Help! Sincerely, Confused in Colorado Springs Dear Confused, If ... more

I swung down by the River after coffee this morning…
Cliff Swallow.
Tree Swallow.
Mourning Dove. 100% crop.
These were all taken on my Canon M2 with an EF 28-135 IS lens and adapter to use it on the M2. This is a new camera body with a late model sensor, and a lens that Canon starting making in 1998 as a cheap one to put on cameras so you'd actually have a lens to use with your new body. While it is an old design and not to costly (I got mine for $299 in 2009, and they haven't changed in price much) it has great optics, and has been called Canon's unmarked "L" lens. ("L" lenses are the top-of-the-line at Canon.) On a crop body like the 7D or M2 it is equivalent to a 45-215mm lens on a full frame camera. If is very light as lenses go, and is a good fit on my M2 until I can pick up the native EF-M 55-200mm.

I made a Red Cross blood run today. I almost made it back before sunset. This van had pretty good headlights and no cruise control…
Wallpaper sized!
This is a two photo panorama. Here is how it turned out in the PS Elements Panorama maker.
This is just cropped to a rectangle.

I did play with the image in Elements after I made the panorama.

A so-called Strawberry Moon tonight. It only happens once every 19 years or so, that the Full Moon coincides with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.
On the road to my secret viewing spot!
As the Moon started to come up, I made these two photos. They are pretty much the same other than the positioning of the Moon, and that they are taken seven seconds apart.
You might wonder why the moon isn't sharp and clear like in so many of my Moon photos. As it rises or sets, the Moon is seen through an enormous about of atmosphere, compared to when it is overhead. That atmosphere is constantly moving, particularly on a warm day like today was. It does not make for clear and sharp images.
This one was taken with a little less exposure than the others, hence the extreme red coloring.
I decided this one might look good in black and white. Here it is in "Infrared" B&W mode.
And here it is on "Scenic Landscape" B&W mode.
I was trying to get some of the clouds surrounding or covering the Moon. I got the Face in this one.
Still not too clear, but better!
The photos above were taken with my Canon 7D and my 400mm L lens. The following Moon photos were taken with my Canon M2 and 70-300mm L lens.
Finally, half an hour after the Moonrise, it is starting to get into more stable, and considerably thinner air, and a clearer photo.
Great Falls twinkling below the Sunset.

Back down at the River, I caught this interesting exchange between a California Gull and a Double-Creasted Cormorant…
I have no idea what that was about. They had beens sitting on the water near each other, peacefully…

Vancouver's natural highs: Viewing a breathtaking city from a different angle
The term 'breathtaking scenery' took on a whole new meaning as I clung to the speedboat that was careering along, seemingly at 90 degrees to the water, in Vancouver's Howe Sound.
Prising open eyes that had been squeezed shut in terror, I saw snow-capped mountains zipping by at improbable speeds. Canada had truly taken my breath away. I was on a sea safari from Horseshoe Bay, which is 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
Our guide, Claire, took us out to explore the coastline at high speed and encounter seals, sea otters and eagles along the way.
Arty isle: Vancouver's Granville Island, seen in the foreground, is home to food markets, craft brewers, theatres and art galleries
Vancouver is celebrated for its natural beauty. Perched on a peninsula on Canada's Pacific North West coast and hugged by mountains, beaches and forest, it's the gateway to British Columbia, as well as a starting point for Alaskan cruises and train trips.
Vancouverites are infectiously outdoorsy and it's easy to join in the healthy West Coast lifestyle. I rented a bike to explore expansive Stanley Park at the tip of downtown. It's crossed with trails that pass rock formations, hidden beaches and First Nation art.
Just don't look down: A brave Amy takes on the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge
It also contains the Vancouver Aquarium, which is home to delightfully odd-looking white beluga whales. You can cycle along Stanley Park's five-mile sea wall, starting at the posh marina of Coal Harbour, where seaplanes take off and skim across Lions Gate Bridge, and going all the way around to the beaches of English Bay and the eclectic restaurants of the West End.
Overlooking Coal Harbour is the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel, a trendy spot with a 'raw' food bar serving seafood and spacious rooms with deep Japanese baths and harbourside views. Close to the Fairmont and the city's cruise terminal is the historic area of Gastown, which is named after Yorkshireman John 'Gassy Jack' Deighton who opened the first saloon here in 1867.
The old Victorian-era warehouses used to be full of tourist tat and transients, but Gastown has had an 'urban revolution' and become a hotspot for exciting new restaurants. You'll find everything from kitsch burger joints to upscale establishments such as the Salt Tasting Room in Blood Alley.
Gastown is also the place for fashionistas to shop for Canadian designers in independent boutiques.
Close to Gastown, I started to see the red flags that indicate Vancouver's Chinatown, which is one of the biggest in North America and is worth visiting to see the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the world's thinnest office block.
Chinatown comes alive during the summer with night markets where hawkers sell sizzling street food after dark. In contrast to gritty Chinatown, the yuppie downtown area of Yaletown is an oasis of glass skyscrapers and redbrick warehouses, crammed with organic cafes and pet boutiques (a pug is an obligatory accessory here).
Atmospheric: Gastown, seen with the iconic 'steam clock', immerses visitors in Canadian Victoriana
Across the creek from Yaletown, East Vancouver is enjoying a redevelopment, especially around Main Street in the Mount Pleasant area, which is now home to miles of coffee shops, designer doughnut hangouts and vintage clothes stores.
Nearby Commercial Drive is easily accessed by the Skytrain that whizzes people around the city. The Drive is the former Italian area that's now a great place to head for ethnic food, poetry performances and secondhand books.
Back towards downtown is the best place to spend a sunny afternoon – Granville Island. Built on reclaimed land as an industrial centre in the early 20th Century and redeveloped as a public market in the Seventies, Granville Island is home to food markets, craft brewers, theatres and art galleries.
Rival to Manhattan?: The Vancouver skyline is an iconic sight
You can take a tour to discover artisan producers making everything from beer and sake to sourdough bread and cooking stock, and then sit on the pier with fresh food from one of the world-cuisine outlets.
The place is a food-lover's dream, with piles of colourful produce. You'll find everything from cherries to dragon fruits, goat's cheese to cakes and Chinese food. The freshest fish can be found along the pier where the boats land their catch – Go Fish does brilliant fish and chips, with an Asian-inspired coleslaw.
You can hop on the little Aquabus ferry from Yaletown or Sunset Beach to get to Granville Island.
Indian signs: 'First Nation' totem poles in Vancouver's Stanley Park
From Granville, I headed west to Kitsilano, the beach area that is now home to students and yummy mummies in yoga gear. It's great for eating out on a patio with a glass of local wine when the sun is shining, but they don't call this region the Raincoast for nothing.
Rainy-day options range from the fascinating Museum of Anthropology to the family-friendly Science World. Art-lovers can explore First Nation art at the Bill Reid Gallery, or visit the Vancouver Art Gallery, both in downtown.
Rain doesn't stop Vancouverites getting outdoors, so one wet day I rented a kayak from False Creek to see the city from the water. I also explored the Grouse Grind, a strenuous walk enjoyed by energetic locals – 2,830 natural stairs up Grouse Mountain over on the North Shore.
Coast with the most: A view of Kitsilano Beach and downtown Vancouver's skyline
I opted to get up there on the Skyride gondola, which whisks you up to the top for stunning views of the city. An adrenaline rush in North Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge – a hair-raising crossing strung 200ft above a rushing river.
I caught the bus to Lynn Valley, where there are pretty waterfalls and a smaller suspension bridge that was still high enough to frighten me. Less than three hours' drive away is the ski resort of Whistler.
It's best known as a winter destination, but it's worth a trip in summer to try zip-lining, biking, kayaking or just relaxing in a spa. The gorgeous Scandinave outdoor spa is built in the cedar forest and I found it heavenly to relax in the sauna with beautiful mountain views.
I then took a bike ride along the paved Valley Trail to Alta Lake, where we picked up a kayak and paddled along against a backdrop of blue sky, forest, Whistler and the Blackcomb mountains.
I wanted to get a different view of Whistler to finish my West Coast adventure, so I found myself once again at an unusual angle – and once again breathless – suspended by a zip-line and hurtling down a wire above Fitzsimmons Creek.
There's no doubt this really is a land of natural highs.

The present invention relates to the reaction, known as hydrosilation, in which a silane or polysiloxane which is substituted with hydrogen and with halogen, alkyl and/or alkoxy groups is reacted with an olefin. This invention is directed in particular to hydrosilation of silanes, but can include also other species as discussed below.
The reaction of hydrosilatable olefins, such as allyl chloride or 1-octene, with hydrosilanes such as trimethoxysilane, in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, is known. An example is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,264, which is directed to the reaction of allylic chloride with hydromethoxysilane in the presence of ruthenium catalyst. A continuous hydrosilation process with recycle is disclosed in German Offen. 196-32157 Al, wherein conversion of the limiting reactant is limited to less than 80% to minimize a side reaction inherent to hydrosilation reactions between chlorosilanes and allyl chloride. Limiting conversion to less than 80% is a disadvantage for hydrosilation reactions not afflicted with significant side reactions.
There is interest in finding improved modes of carrying out the hydrosilation reaction. Improvements are elusive because of the variety of byproducts that typically are formed, their properties, and the need to control their formation and to remove those that do form from the desired silane product. In addition, the hydrosilation reaction itself is sensitive to a number of conditions such that it can become necessary to balance competing effects and to accept non-optimum results.
Certain process schemes for carrying out the hydrosilation reaction, while effective, pose drawbacks. For instance, typical batchwise operation produces a crude product containing the desired hydrosilated silane product in mixture with byproducts and one or more unreacted reactants. This crude product needs to be treated to recover the desired product in a subsequent stage, and it needs to be stored until it is passed to that stage. This storage, even temporary, poses a risk of degrading of the product, as well as a risk of the crude product undergoing cross-reaction with potentially hazardous and even explosive effect. Also, storing crude product within the reaction scheme represents an accumulated inventory of material which raises the overall cost of the process. If the crude product contains substantial amounts of unreacted silane, safety considerations may dictate more costly equipment for handling or storage.
The present invention is a continuous process for carrying out a hydrosilation reaction, which has the steps of:
(a) feeding a hydrosilatable olefin and a hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane (or mixtures of the hydrosiloane and hydridosiloxane) capable of reacting with the olefin into a reactor containing a stoichiometric excess of one of the reactants in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a hydrosilation catalyst;
(b) reacting said olefin with said hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane in the reactor, whereby at steady state an unreacted excess of one of the reactants is maintained, to form a hydrosilated product;
(c) withdrawing from said reactor a product stream;
(d) purifying said product stream to produce a recycle stream including said unreacted reactants, and a product stream; and
(e) recycling the recycle stream into the reactor; and wherein the conversion of the stoichiometrically limiting reactant in the reactor is greater than 80%.
The olefin reactant with which the process of this invention is carried out can be any that reacts with a hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane in the desired reaction. By olefin, not only are unsaturated hydrocarbons meant, but any compound which has an ethylenic or acetylinic unsaturatations which may be hydrosilized, including, but not limited to acetylene, α, ω-diolefins, and allyl started materials. Preferred examples of the olefin are allyl chloride and methallyl chloride. Other olefin reactants useful in this reaction include: 1-octene, 1-hexene, amylene, 1-octadecene, allyl glycidyl ether, vinylcyclohexene monoxide, allyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorooctylethylene, acrylonitrile, and unsaturated silanes such as vinyltrimethoxysilane and allyltriethoxysilane. Other examples are low molecular weight terminally unsaturated poly(alkylene oxides) with a terminal group such as allyl and a chain of repeating ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide units.
The hydrosilane reactant useful in this reaction can be any that reacts with the olefin. The hydrosilane may be characterized by the formula HSiXYZ wherein X, Y and Z are independently of one another a hydrocarbon or alkoxy group, typically containing up to eight (8) carbon atoms, hydrogen or halogen. The hydrocarbon may be branched, linear, cyclic or aromatic. Preferably the hydrocarbon is a linear or branched alkyl e.g., methyl and ethyl. Preferred alkoxy groups are methoxy and ethoxy, though branched structures may be used. X, Y and Z can be halogen (especially chloride), and one of X, Y or Z can be a second hydrogen atom. Particularly preferred hydrosilanes are trimethoxysilane and trichlorosilane. Other preferred hydrosilanes include trimethylsilane, methyldimethoxysilane, dichlorosilane, triethoxysilane, methyldiethoxysilane, methyldichlorosilane, dimethylchlorosilane, and di-methylmethoxysilane.
The hydrosiloxane reactants useful in the above process can be described by the general formula, HSiABC, where at least one of A, B, and C are a siloxy group, --OSiXYZ where X, Y, and Z are as above or a further siloxy group (to form a siloxane chain) and the others of A, B and C are selected from X, Y and Z above or two of A, B and C taken together may be a divalent siloxy group --O(SiXYO)n - where X and Y are lower alkyl groups, preferably methyl, and n is 3, 4, or 5.
The olefin and hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane reactants are fed continuously, i.e., as a continuous stream or a pulsed, intermittent stream, to a reactor for hydrosilation reactions. A catalyst for the hydrosilation reaction should be present in an amount effective to catalyze the reaction of the olefin with the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane. Examples of suitable catalysts are known in the literature and are typically compounds of metals such as palladium, platinum, ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, or iridium. A preferred catalyst is any of the ruthenium compounds disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,264. Effective amounts of the catalyst can be determined readily and are on the order of 5 to 50 ppm based on the total amount of reactants present.
The molar amounts of olefin and hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane relative to each other in the reactor feeds can vary somewhat depending on the degree of side reactions which may consume one or the other reactant, and will also need to be determined with reference to the amounts of each reactant present in the recycle stream described hereinbelow. Conveniently the olefin and hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane can be fed in stoichiometrically equivalent amounts, but an excess of one reagent may be required to maintain the conditions outlined below. The amount of excess required may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, based on mass balance of the end product.
Within the reactor, operating at steady state, one or the other reactant is in molar excess, preferably, at least 3:1 molar ratio. By virtue of the immediate recycle of excess reagent removed from the reactor, the steady state excess of said reagent is maintained. The relative amounts of the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane and olefin reactants within the reactor during steady state operation are such that an excess of either the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane reactant or the olefin is maintained. The choice of which reactant to maintain in excess will depend upon factors such as cost, efficiency of the hydrosilation reaction at various stoichiometries, and formation of byproducts in the presence or absence of the excess reagent. When the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane is in excess, the molar ratio of it to olefin in the reactor preferably should be in the range of about 10:1 to about 1000:1 or more, with a preferred more narrow range being about 20:1 to about 500:1. Likewise, when the olefin is maintained in excess in the reactor, it should be in the molar ratio range of about 5:1 to about 10:1, with a preferred more narrow range being about 5:1 to about 100:1. When the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane is in excess, the steady state molar ratio of it to product will be in the range of about 0.1:1 to about 3:1; when the olefin is in excess, the ratio of it to product will be in the range of about 0.01 to about 0.5:1.
It has been found in some cases that it is preferable to combine the catalyst with the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane, prior to introduction of the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane into the reactor. This can be accomplished by adding a solution of the preferred catalyst to the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane via a mix-tee upstream to the latter's entry to the reactor. The length of pipe after mixing will determine contact time, and insulation and/or heating of the pipe will determine the temperature, and are easily varied. Optimum conditions for addition of the catalyst in this fashion may vary with different hydrosilations. In other cases, the catalyst solution may be fed directly to the reactor to maintain the desired steady state concentration of catalyst within the reactor.
The reactor contents are preferably free of solvent. If desired, one may add a solvent for the reactants and/or reaction product; but in this case, the solvent should preferably be one which will be recycled to the reactor along with the excess reactant. Otherwise, the solvent will exit the purifier with the product stream, and would need to be replenished to the reactor by feeding a separate solvent stream, recycling a solvent stream separated from the product stream, or cofeeding the solvent along with the olefin or hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane reactant. Suitable solvents include toluene, dichloromethane, hexane, and tetramethoxysilane. However, if the solvent interferes with catalytic activity, then use of a solvent is contraindicated.
The reaction of the olefin with the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane is carried out under effective conditions of temperature and pressure with agitation, preferably by stirring. Preferred reaction conditions include a temperature from about ambient temperature up to about 150� C., with 60 to 120� C. being most preferred. Generally, the process is carried out at a pressure of about 0.2 to 2.0 atmospheres (0.02-0.2 MPa), with ambient pressure being preferred, but operation at higher or lower pressures may be performed to maintain higher or lower reaction temperatures dependent on the volatilities of the respective reactants.
The residence time within the reactor is not critical but should be sufficient to achieve a satisfactory degree of conversion to the hydrosilated product, i.e., >80%, within acceptable limits given the volume of the equipment and the desired rate of production. Typical acceptable residence times are on the order of 0.5 to 4 hours.
The hydrosilation reaction product is formed by attachment of the hydrogen atom of the hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane and the silicon atom of the silane across the unsaturated site of the olefin, as is well known. For example, hydrosilation of allyl chloride with trimethoxysilane forms 3-chloropropyl-trimethoxysilane. Examples of other preferred hydrosilation reaction products that can be formed in this process from appropriately selected reactants include n-octyltrichlorosilane; glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane; [epoxycyclohexyl]ethyltriethoxysilane; cyanoethyltrichlorosilane; dihexyldichlorosilane; amyltrimethoxysilane; triethoxysilylethyltriethoxysilane and [perfluorooctyl]ethylmethyldiethoxysilane.
A crude product stream is established which exits the reactor, typically through a pipe or tube terminating at or near the bottom of the reactor. This product stream contains hydrosilated olefin reaction product and either unreacted olefin, unreacted hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane, or both, catalyst, reaction byproducts and a solvent, if used. The flow rate should be such that the amount of liquid volume, and consequently hydrosilated reaction product, within the reactor remains approximately constant, as does the acceptable residence time for the hydrosilated reaction product.
The crude product stream is fed to a purifier, wherein the product and reactants are separated. The purifier produces two streams: a recycle stream which contains essentially all the unreacted olefin or essentially all the unreacted hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane, or both, that are fed to the purifier (and the solvent, if used), and a purified product stream which contains the hydrosilated reaction product. The purifier operates at an effective combination of temperature and pressure to achieve the desired separation between the unreacted reactants and the reaction product. The purifier may be a distillation column or stripping column with or without packing, trays, or plates, a decanter, a wiped film evaporator, or other unit known in the separation art.
This process provides several advantages. The prompt separation of the unreacted materials from the crude product stream reduces the risk of continued side reactions and the resultant risks of product degradation and runaway reactions. The recycle of the unreacted reactants also increases the efficiency with which the materials are used, and lowers the overall amount of devices tied up in carrying out the production of the desired hydrosilation reaction product. Also, this process avoids the general need for any solvent, although such solvent may be deemed beneficial in selected cases.
Typical efficiencies in the overall process range from 85-98%. That is, the purity of the product stream exiting from the purifier is between 85% and 98% by weight of reaction product. This stream includes product, any heavy by-products, traces of unreacted olefin and hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane, and catalyst residues. The product stream subsequently may be distilled, thus recovering an even more pure product stream, generally from 95-99.9% by weight of product; a lights stream containg lower boiliing impurities, by-products, and olefin and hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane starting materials; and a heavies stream containing higher boiling by-products, and the residues of the catalyst. The lights and heavies streams may be discarded, although the noble metal catalyst may be recovered by chemical treatment.
In the recycle stream that returns to the reactor, there will be excess hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane (if used in excess) and varying amounts of olefin (the amount depending on residence time in the reactor, or olefin (if used in excess) and varying amounts of hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane (the amount depending on the residence time in the reactor). The advantage of this invention is that the amount of olefin or hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane may vary, without being detrimental to the performance of the reactor. In fact, the reactor system is designed to allow for variation, and thus provide much greater flexibility in the operation of the unit.
This same recycle stream preferably should not contain any of the product. Although the presence of product, per se, is not detrimental to the functioning of the process, such presence would tend to indicate that the purifier is being operated under non-optimal conditions. The ratio of the amount of material in the recycling stream of the purifier to the amount of material in the product stream being drawn off will vary according to the particular hydrosilation being conducted, as well as the throughput. Practically, this ratio will not exceed one part of recycle stream to one part of product stream, i.e., 1.0:1.0 by weight, and preferably will be no greater than 0.5:1.0.
The operating conditions of the purifier, such as temperature, pressure, residence time, and pressure drop, will depend on the physical and chemical nature of the reactants and products, and on its design. The purifier can be any device of appropriate material of construction which is known in the art. Thus, a purifier which is a distillation column with a reboiler may contain structured packing, ceramic saddles, or trays, all of which will work equally well as long as no reaction between them, the product, or the starting materials occurs, and no product degradation is caused. Such factors must be determined for each individual case, and may even require experimentation to draw the proper conclusion as to material of construction. The reactor and ancillary parts may also be of any material of construction which will maintain its integrity against corrosion, thermal exposure, and pressure. The requirements of the present invention are no more stringent than for other standard silanes processing units known in the art.
Typical reactor/purifier designs, each of which may incorporate ancillary equipment for heating, cooling, maintaining pressure, agitation, metering of reactant feeds, maintenance of inert atmospheres, feed systems, and product receiving systems, include continuous stirred tank/distillation column combinations, static mixer reactor/wiped film evaporator combinations, plugged flow reactor/decanter combinations, and other combinations of the parts thereof. One preferred reactor/purifier design includes a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with feed tanks for the reactants, a column with a recycle line to the reactor and a reboiler, and product receivers.
As noted above, the process of the present invention can provide hydrosilation products at varying levels of efficiency. Preferably, one of the reagents is converted in the reactor to hydrosilation product at a high degree of conversion, for example greater than 90% by weight. The conversion is dependent on residence time in the reactor, and thus may be inversely porportional to feed rate. A high degree of conversion, i.e., not less than 80% of the limiting reactant, maximizes the yield of hydrosilation product and minimizes the volume of the recycle stream. However, as discussed above, the system may operate flexibly with lower conversion. Thus, increasing feed rate may not cause the reaction to stop, or lead to a dangerous buildup of unreacted starting materials in a product storage tank or a batch reactor, such as might occur with process technologies known in the art. Rather, the excess reagents, by virtue of being removed and then recycled immediately, cannot build up downstream of the purifier, even if process upsets occur, such as pressure fluctuation, or a stoichiometric imbalance in the reactant feeds.
It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that separation into recycle and product streams will not be absolute and that each stream may contain small amounts of the other. It is also recognized that each stream may require further separation to maximize utility, e.g., the product stream may be separated from the catalyst, as by distillation, to provide product of high purity and to provide the catalyst in a form which may also be recycled to the reactor. If the recycle stream contains an undesired by-product which increases in relative amount as the continuous reaction proceeds, it may be necessary to subject the recycle stream to a second separation, such as purging whereby said by-product is removed before the recycle stream re-enters the reactor.
The conditions of the various separations, including temperatures, pressures, times, equipment sizes such as columns, and separation efficiencies may vary substantially, depending on the physical properties of the various reactants and hydrosilation products.

Double gold for Waikato
Relevant offers
The Waikato Regional Performance Centre grabbed two golds on the opening day of finals at the national rowing champs at Lake Ruataniwha yesterday.
Just two crews contested the women's premier coxless quad but they were high-powered boats featuring seven members of the Rowing New Zealand summer squad.
The Waikato RPC crew of stroke Julia Edward, Zoe Stevenson, Genevieve Armstrong and Sarah Gray drew away over the final 500 metres of the 2km race to head home the Central RPC combination of stroke Linda Mathews, Louise Trappitt, Erin-Monique Shelton and Louise Ayling by more than two lengths and give the combination their first red coats as premier title winners.
"It is so special to win a red coat," Waikato University student Stevenson said. "Winning a red coat with Julia just added to the whole experience.
"I was so happy to be part of that crew and proud to become part of national championship history," she said.
Stevenson will also contest the premier double sculls and premier pair and the eights final.
Waikato's other triumph came in the final of the men's under-22 eight, when they saw off Auckland RPC.
The victors - Jeff Francis, Christopher Morrison, Shaun Kirkham, Alex Kennedy, Evan Kennedy, McKenzie Macky, Patrick McInnes, Logan Rodger and cox Caleb Shepherd - had to hold off a late challenge to win by just under a length.
Their Waikato RPC counterparts took silver in the women's under-22 eights after being pipped by Southern RPC.
The semifinals of the men's premier single sculls set up an enticing final tomorrow. Robbie Manson clocked the faster time in winning his semifinal but 2012 London Olympics gold medallist Nathan Cohen will start the final as favourite after winning his semifinal.

Cairo schools aren't as old as editorial stated
To the editor:
I must take exception to the editorial, "Cairo needs unified effort for new school." I disagree with your conclusion, which is based on incorrect information.
You state the Cairo School Board and city council are locked in a tug-of-war over the tax increase. The city has not taken an official position. As mayor and as a taxpayer, I consider the tax request absurd. It will not affect the city's share of taxes in any way.
You state the tax money would be used to replace the 100-year-old junior high school and Bennett Elementary School and 50-year-old Emerson School. The junior high and Bennett are 53 and 54 years old respectively. Emerson is 45 years old. The junior high had a new gym and lockers added in the late 1960s.
The rest of the editorial in reference to the amount of tax increase was very good.
I hope the information you presented was not supplied by the school district. This would only make taxpayers like myself question the board's action even more.

What was once regarded as his "faction" within the family, a relatively small circle of supporters, has now become the family mainstream, with those formerly viewed as outliers (Talal bin Abd al-Aziz and even his son al-Walid) integrated more closely with the top tier, and those whose views no longer "conform" to the narrative (such as Khalid bin Talal) marginalized. Deeply involved in his work at Interior, and distracted by failing health, and taken off guard, Nayif did not feel the winds of change blowing, but soon found himself swept up by the new order.
Given time to reassess the situation while abroad, Nayif apparently decided to go with the flow, but even then he misread the forecast. From his residence in Algeria, Nayif decided to address the controversy over women athletes at the Olympic games this summer and perhaps show a more progressive side. According to al-Hayat newspaper, the crown prince said that women can represent Saudi at the Olympics in London as long as they do not contradict Islamic laws. His approval was conditioned on women competing in sports that "meet the standards of women's decency and don't contradict Islamic laws," though even this concession seemed surprising. Yet only a few days later, his pronouncement was thrown out. The head of the Saudi Olympic Committee, Nawwf bin Faysal bin Fahd, explicitly ruled out sending women athletes to the London Olympics. "We are not endorsing any Saudi female participation at the moment in the Olympics or other international championships," he told a press conference in Jiddah. Nawwaf added that Saudi women taking part on their own were free to do so, and the Kingdom's Olympic authority would "help in ensuring that their participation does not violate the Islamic shari'a law." Though he did emphasize that this was in accordance with a previously-stated position, it did seem a rebuff to Nayif.
More recently, Nayif gave instructions regarding the release of prisoners, saying that that those who do not pose a threat, and inmates whose imprisonment is pointless, should be released. Though ostensibly this was done to reduce overcrowding in prisons, which has been blamed on lengthy procedures, it does show Nayif again making conciliatory gestures. Although the order excluded those specifically imprisoned over charges of violating the security of the Kingdom, some of those affected may be political activists, and almost all of the agitation in the eastern region has been over demands for the release of such prisoners.
Yet, the contrast with the approach taken by Asir Governor Faysal bin Khalid in successfully dealing with protests by university students there could not be more apparent. Though he warned against incitement, he met with student representatives and formed a youth council to address their demands. It is hard to imagine Nayif taking such a considered approach in his stead.
A chastened crown prince may have returned with his bearings regained, but there are signs he is still on the outs. His coterie now includes those like Prince Abd al-Aziz bin Fahd, formerly one of King Abdallah's closest aides, but who seems to have had a falling out with the monarch. The fact that relatively junior princes like Nawwaf bin Fahd can nonchalantly brush him aside indicates that Nayif has a credibility problem, and will not easily re-insinuate himself to favor. His efforts to appear less detached and more humane seem feeble, and given Abdallah's track record of head-on battles with the religious conservatives over contentious issues, there will be little confidence that Nayif, as king, will follow the same path, despite some half-hearted gestures. Continuing suspicion over his stance on issues of the day, and reform in general, compounded with concern over his declining health, will cast a cloud over Nayif for the forseeable future. In the meantime, his comparatively vigorous full brother Prince Salman is the one to watch.
