I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel. The staff was very warm and welcoming. I have already recommended this location to friends
Fantastic, Arrived early and they were able to accomodate all of our needs. Colby is a customer Service Champion !
We travel all the time and this hotel stay was the worst we have ever experienced. Bistro staff was vulgar, rude, and have zero people skills. They were far too busy telling each other loud stories about drugs and their boyfriends to wait on a customer. Bistro supervisor was just as rude as the staff. Asking him to address the immature behavior of his staff was a complete waste of time. When we ask to speak with a manager he stated that the managers never work on the weekend and he is not allowed to call them. As a Marriott Rewards member for life I am highly disappointed in how the culture has eroded from best in class to just rude.
We were visiting family nearby. This was our 2nd stay at this location. Great for our needs. Lots of shopping, restaurants. There's a limited service lobby restaurant, which was ok. We ate there the last day for quick convenience. The restaurant crew were very nice. Lobby / desk staff were very nice and helpful. Our boys used the fitness room every day - it was clean & maintained, with fresh towels available. The indoor pool & hot tub are nice & clean. Seating and towels are provided. There is also a chairlift to access both the pool & hot tub. In warm weather, the pool opens to the back patio. There's a fire pit out there too. We saw others enjoying it, but we had other plans.
I travel to Virginia a lot to spend time with my family. I usually stay at The Founders Inn but it's got very bad service as well as everytime I've stayed there we have an issue. I have my kids who love swimming so it was great that this place has an indoor pool and jacuzzi. They also have a great breakfast restaurant and dinner at the Marriott. My tv wasn't working the first night so they immediately switched me into an even nicer room. They also gave us complimentary breakfast. I will definitely be back as my kids loved it too:)

Repositioning while creating page items
Repositioning while creating page items
This is a shortcut that can save you time while you're creating new page items. So I am going to get my Text tool, and I want to drag out a new text frame from the left margin over to this second column I have got over here, a ruler guide that I've drawn out, and I wanted to start at the top of the margin as well. So I am going to line up the cursor where I think it needs to be to actually do this. I am going to start pressing and dragging. And then you can see that it didn't quite line up with the top of that margin guide. So rather than stop what I'm doing and then go get my Selection tool and resize that frame, as long as you still have the mouse down, which I do here, if you hold the spacebar down, that lets you temporarily reposition this object as you're creating it.
So I can just move it up so it's lined up with that margin guide. I let go the spacebar and I keep dragging. So a very nice handy tool to reposition the item you're creating while you're...

My role was limited - Shirtcliff
Relevant offers
Christchurch earthquake
The man who oversaw construction of the Canterbury Television building says he had "limited involvement" in the build and has dismissed a claim he was "clearly not up to the job".
Former construction manager for Williams Construction Gerald Shirtcliff, a convicted fraudster, was responsible for ensuring the CTV construction met design and building standards.
He initially declined to appear before the Canterbury earthquakes royal commission but changed his mind once it began hearing evidence on the CTV building collapse.
Several other witnesses, including former Williams managing director Michael Brooks, cited Shirtcliff's key role in the project and his "final responsibility" for construction.
When he was asked yesterday about his responsibilities, Shirtcliff repeatedly pointed to site foreman Bill Jones, Alan Reay Consultants engineer David Harding and Christchurch City Council staff as the key parties.
"I only had limited involvement in the CTV building," he said.
"I deny I was responsible for supervising construction of the CTV building, Jones or the subcontractors."
He also denied he had "any involvement with contractors, consultants or the supply of materials or labour for the CTV building".
Other jobs on Williams Construction's books, including the Copthorne Hotel in Durham St and the Air Force Museum in Wigram, took up most of his time, Shirtcliff said, and he visited the CTV site only about once a month.
"The reason . . . was because it was a typical, straightforward job. Every floor was the same, with repetitive concrete, floors, walls and columns and no internal fitout," he said.
"When I was on the site the purpose of my visits were generally to discuss any concerns the foreman, Mr Jones, had and see if there was anything that he needed."
Earlier, Brooks said monthly site visits by someone in Shirtcliff's position were not acceptable.
"As construction manager, if you do your job properly you really should be visiting the sites every day," he said.
"My understanding was he was visiting the sites more than once a month and certainly should have been."
Brooks said Shirtcliff was "clearly not up to the job" and gave insufficient guidance to staff.
Shirtcliff responded: "I don't think that was the case. I'm not under the impression I was meant to be mentoring or guiding people, but I certainly guided people on-site."
Former Williams quantity surveyor Tony Scott said he believed Shirtcliff was "attending to the matters on the CTV building".
"I don't see how he could possibly have done his job as a construction manager by attending the site once a month. It would be impossible to do his job properly," he said.
Other projects that Shirtcliff said took up most of his time were on a smaller scale than the CTV job, he said.
"The other jobs . . . were only single-level [or two levels]. The [Copthorne] had already been closed in. It wasn't as if [CTV] was an insignificant job," he said. "We treated it as a fairly major job in the company. It was our biggest structure."
Shirtcliff gave evidence via video link from Australia.
Gerald Shirtcliff was often flummoxed when questioned about his past yesterday.
The former Williams Construction employee was lost for words when Mark Zarifeh, a lawyer assisting the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission, asked him about time spent living in South Africa.
Shirtcliff eventually confirmed that he worked as a supervisor on a construction site, but could not say what name he went by at the time.
"Was it Fischer?" Zarifeh asked.
"No," Shirtcliff replied.
"Are you sure about that," Zarifeh said. "Yes," Shirtcliff said.
Soon after a visibly shaken Shirtcliff wavered when asked to confirm his South African identity.
"I can't tell you. I can't remember. I think it was Shirtcliff," he said.
Shirtcliff now lives in Australia, where he works under the name William Anthony Fischer.
He was extradited to New Zealand and convicted on nine counts of fraud in 2005 after he fabricated GST returns that showed his failing company was making hundreds of thousands of dollars profit.
He then used the false returns to convince Queenstown investor Eric Zust to buy his franchise-based automotive servicing business for $296,500.
He was sentenced to 20 months jail.
Shirtcliff said he changed his name "following an issue with my family".
"It was a personal matter. I made a decision to do that," he said.
"[It was] the request of my mother, to try and effect a family reconciliation, that I go back to New Zealand and bring my children up in my birth name.
"Fischer and Shirtcliff are one in the same."

PARIS France could start taxing Internet advertising revenues from online giants such as Google, using the funds to support creative industries that have been hit by the digital revolution, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The proposal, put forward in a government-commissioned survey, is France's latest challenge to the virtual free-for-all for Internet content. The country has previously caused controversy with some of the world's harshest laws on online piracy.
The levy, which would also apply to other operators such as MSN and Yahoo, would put an end to "enrichment without any limit or compensation," newspaper Liberation quoted Guillaume Cerutti, one of the authors of the report, as saying.
It would apply even if the operator had its offices outside France, as long as the Internet users who click on ad banners or sponsored links are here, the paper said.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has repeatedly tried to present himself as a defender of France's cultural heritage in the digital age, most recently calling for public projects to rival Google's plans for a massive online library.
Critics point out the issue of compensating authors is a complex one, given that many of the songs, films and texts published online these days are created for free by amateurs outside the cultural establishment.
Cerutti, president of Sotheby's in France, drew up the report together with Jacques Toubon, a former minister, and Patrick Zelnik, a former music executive who has among others produced the songs of France's first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
The authors also suggest taxing Internet service providers to raise tens of millions of euros that would be invested in developing the online music business and other creative sectors.
For example, they propose offering government-subsidised online subscriptions and expanding online publishing platforms, said Liberation, which obtained a copy of the report.
In recent months, operators and users have faced increased pressure to pay for content from online newspapers to films and books. Under France's new Internet piracy law, repeat illegal downloaders will be disconnected and fined.
The new report was handed into the Culture Ministry earlier this week. It was not immediately clear if the government has a precise timetable to act on it.

thanx guys...
Go to Wal-Mart and buy their cheapest (I've found for $27) DVD player. It's region free right out of the box.
Get it online from somewhere like Amazon.com, read the user comments below the product descriptions to make sure they are region-free or can be made region-free via codes. The big name brands should usually be avoided unless you get the player from a specialist retailer with firmware/hardware modifications done by them.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6[edit]
Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
- Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
- One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
- Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.
Until next time,
WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 7[edit]
This month:
Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.
In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?
Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.
The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.
Until next time,
Harej (talk) 01:44, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying
category=, or
wikiproject=, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do
{{Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name
s52475__wpx_p. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called
projectindex. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
- The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
- The WikiCite meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was requested by the Wikipedia Library back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.
Until next time,

A Loud Bang
Enraged, Sweany turned toward Westerman, placed her left hand on his chest, and tried to push the officer out the door.
If Sweany's bid proved impotent, it was due more to her small stature than any lack of determination. Grabbing her left hand and placing it behind her back, Westerman said to the paramedic, "Let's just take her into custody now."
In preparation for cuffing her, Westerman tapped Sweany's shoulder and told her to place her right hand behind her head.
Instead, Sweany's right shoulder lunged forward. Paramedic Ream, standing by the front door, saw something that Westerman couldn't. The woman reached for her waistband with her right hand and removed a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Model 60. The deranged woman shoved it into Westerman's gut.
For his part, Westerman was blissfully unaware of the threat pressed up against his torso. All he knew was that Sweany wasn't cooperating with him. Ream knew otherwise, and reached for Sweany's armed hand as Westerman pulled up on her left arm, still held behind her back.
Westerman heard a loud bang.
Out of Battery
Things in the room came to a complete stop, then began to move in slow motion. The sensory distortion was unlike anything Westerman had ever experienced before. He tried to analyze what had just happened. Knowing the bang hadn't been a firecracker, he still found himself looking for telltale signs of spent firecracker wrappings floating through the air. The possibility that it'd been a car backfire was just as quickly discounted and Westerman knew that it could only have been a gun shot.
But from where? His own sidearm was still in his holster and the paramedic didn't have one. The kid in the living room was too far away. Then it dawned on Westerman: She's got a gun.
Part of Westerman still didn't want to believe it. He'd tracked her gait as she made her way across the room to the front door, seeing nothing to suggest anything other than a small-framed woman in a state of agitation. But superseding any concerns over his initial inability to recognize the threat was how Westerman would now deal with it.
Looking over Sweany's shoulder, Westerman saw Ream double over.
Realizing that Ream had been shot, Westerman lunged over her back for the gun with his free hand but could not reach any further than the middle of her right forearm without relinquishing control of the left.
For two seconds the two struggled, as fear washed over Westerman — not for himself, but for others should Sweany pull the trigger again as its barrel swung back and forth in their direction. He had but two options: Keep fighting for the gun and run the risk of a bystander getting hurt, or shoot Sweany.
He didn't recall pulling it out of his holster, but he found his .45 caliber Glock 21 in his hand and pressed it into the woman's back. He pulled the trigger.
Westerman heard the voice of his firearms instructor, Ken Gardner, telling him that he had pressed the gun so hard into Sweany's back that the weapon was out of battery.
Pulling the gun back to let the trigger reset, Westerman again asked himself whether or not he had to shoot, again coming to the same disagreeable conclusion.

This application is the national phase under 35 U.S.C. �371 of prior PCT International Application No. PCT/SE97/01507 which has an International filing date of Sep. 8, 1997 which designated the United States of America.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns a filter element for a pressure filter of the kind where a substantially horizontal wall in a fluid tight manner separates the interior of a pressure vessel in a lower inlet compartment and an upper outlet compartment, and where at least one filter element having a filter medium is suspended from the wall such that filtering takes place from the inlet compartment up through the filter element to the outlet compartment.
2. Description of Background Art
One type of such filter including a plurality of filter elements depending from the horizontal plate and having shapes of perforated tubes covered with filter cloth is commonly referred to as a CLARIFIL filter and is used in recausticizing plants in the pulp and paper industry for liquor clarifying. From time to time each filter element must be backwashed in order to remove solids deposited on the filter cloth. Backwash takes places by causing a backwash liquid to flow from the outlet compartment, down through the filter element and into the inlet compartment flushing solids off the filter cloth. Typical for filters of the CLARIFIL-type is that filtrate, i.e., clarified liquor, is used as a backwash liquid. This, of course, involves a loss of filtrate, since the backwash filtrate dilutes the solids deposited on the filter cloth and accompanies them to a solids outlet. It is desirable, thus, to perform backwash in a CLARIFIL-type filter with another liquid than filtrate, preferably water, to achieve a higher degree of separation.
Other types of filters use a liquid other than filtrate, normally water, to perform backwash. In such filters, the filter elements are emptied from filtrate before backwash is performed, typically by blowing air through the filter elements, thus displacing filtrate contained within the filter elements. It is a desire to convert a CLARIFIL-type filter such that backwash with water would be possible, but a CLARIFIL-type filter cannot be emptied from filtrate by displacing filtrate upwards in the way described.
A measure of the effectiveness of a filter element is the degree of perforation, i.e., the ratio between the sum of the areas of all perforations and the entire area of a filter tube. In a CLARIFIL-type filter the degree of perforation is typically not above 30%, i.e., the open area under a filter cloth available for filtration is reduced to 30%.
Another measure to is the ratio between filter area (A) and interior volume (V) of a filter element. For a typical filter tube of a CLARIFIL-type filter element having an outer diameter of 60 mm, the relation A/V is about 6.
Further, in a CLARIFIL-type filter there is a tendency that the filter cake obtains a conical shape, i.e., that more solids are deposited close to the upper end of a filter tube than close to the free end of the tube. This may result in that solids deposited on adjacent tubes merge into a hard solid block that is impossible to remove by ordinary backwash, but necessitates disassembling of the filter for mechanical removal of the block of solids.
The present invention has as one of its objects to provide a filter element that may be emptied from filtrate in an upward direction. Other objects are to provide a filter element, that has a high degree of perforation and a high area/volume ratio.
In achieving the first mentioned object the present invention is based on the knowledge that a column of liquid contained in a vertical channel can be displaced in an upward direction by means of air introduced at the bottom of the channel only when the cross section of the channel is relatively small.
An embodiment of a filter element according to the present invention will now be described, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a pressure filter equipped with one filter element;
FIG. 2 is a section through a filter element showing its filtering condition;
FIG. 3 is a view along line III--III in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a section through a filter element showing its backwash condition; and
FIG. 5 is a section taken along line V--V in FIG. 4.
In FIG. 1 is shown a pressure vessel 1 having an envelope wall 2 and having in its upper end a horizontal wall 3. A cover 4 is mounted over the upper end of the vessel 1. The interior of the vessel 1 constitutes an inlet compartment 5 and the interior of the cover 4 constitutes an outlet compartment 6, these compartments being tightly separated by the wall 3. An inlet conduit 7 for a liquid to be filtered is connected to the envelope wall 2 to direct said fluid into the interior of the inlet compartment 5. A valve 8 is mounted in the conduit 7. An air inlet conduit 9 is connected to the wall 2 at a relatively high level and has an air inlet valve 10. A drainage conduit 11 also connected to the wall 2 has a drainage valve 12.
The cover 4 has connected thereto a conduit 13 serving on one hand as an outlet for filtrate from the outlet compartment 6 to a non-shown tank, and on the other hand as inlet for backwash liquid. A filtrate outlet valve 14 is mounted in a downwardly directed branch 15 of the conduit 13, and a backwash liquid inlet conduit 16 is connected to another branch 17 of the conduit 9 by means of a backwash liquid inlet valve 18. In the bottom region of the vessel 1 there is an outlet valve 19 for solids.
A filter element 20 is attached in its upper end to the wall 3. The filter element includes a filter medium such as a filter cloth, and is adapted to filter solid particles from a liquid introduced through the conduit 7 into the inlet compartment 5, and to direct filtrate obtained in an upward direction interiorly of the filter cloth into the outlet compartment 6. From the outlet compartment the filtrate is discharged through the conduit 13.
As now described, the pressure filter of FIG. 1 in all essential corresponds to a conventional filter of the CLARIFIL-type, although, in practice, a plurality of filter elements 20 would be employed.
However, instead of employing a perforated tube covered with filter cloth as does the CLARIFIL-type filter, the present invention provides a new filter element, the principle of which resides in that the interior volume of the filter element, i.e., the volume inside the filter cloth, or, rather the cross section of the interior of the filter element available for filtrate transportation in an upward direction, is divided in a plurality of relatively small cross section channels.
An embodiment of such a filter element 20 is shown in FIGS. 2-5. In FIGS. 2 and 4, reference numeral 3 denotes the horizontal partition wall of FIG. 1. The filter element 20 is mounted in a circular hole 21 i the wall 3. A cylindrical body 22 formed from an originally rectangular plate or sheet of any suitable, fluid tight material, such as metal or a synthetic material, and having corrugations or folds 23 (see FIG. 5), is arranged around a likewise cylindrical support or core structure 24 depending from a plate-shaped carrier plate 25 bearing on an inwardly directed flange 26 of the hole 21.
The corrugations 23 of the body 22 has outwardly facing folds or ridges 27, inwardly facing folds or ridges 28, and sides 29, the inwardly facing ridges 28 fluid tightly abutting the outer circumferential surface 30 of the support structure 24. As appears from FIGS. 2 and 4, the upper end of the body 22 abuts a recessed portion 31 of the carrier plate 25, whereas the lower end of the body 22 terminates at a higher level than does the support structure 24. A bowl or cup shaped body 32 having a bottom 33 and a cylindrical side wall 34 is tightly attached to the bottom end of the support structure 24, the side wall 34 of the body 32 extending upwardly to a level slightly above the lower end of the body 22. The upper end of the support structure 24 has an upper end wall 35 provided with a hub-like projection 36 having a threaded hole therein receiving one end of a bolt 37. The other end of the bolt is introduced through a central hole in the carrier 25, and a nut 38 secures the entire filter element 20 to the carrier plate 25.
The height of the projection 36 is such that the upper end wall 35 is spaced from the recessed portion 31 of the carrier plate 25. The carrier plate has formed therein openings 39 (see FIG. 3) so as to establish communication between the lower and upper sides of the wall 3, i.e., the inlet compartment 5 and the outlet compartment 6.
A filter medium, preferably a filter cloth 40 shaped into a suitable bag shape, is surrounding the body 22 and the cup shaped body 32 and is secured at its upper end by means of a resilient sealing ring 41 pressed between the flange 26 of the opening 21 and the recessed portion 31 of the carrier plate 25. Along its entire effective height, the filter cloth 40 bears on the outwardly facing ridges 27 of the body 22. This results in a degree of perforation of about 95%.
Non-shown means, such as a clamping plate, may be used to secure the filter element 20, or, several filter elements 20, to the wall 3 by exerting a downwardly directed force against the carrier plate 25.
The corrugations 23 of the body 22 form a plurality of vertically extending, closed inner channels 42, each defined by two adjacent sides 29 of the corrugations 23 and a portion of the circumferential wall 30 of the support structure 24 between two adjacent inwardly facing ridges 28. Each such channel has a downwardly facing lower opening 43 located between the side wall 34 of the cup shaped body 32 and the lower portion of the support structure 24, and a radially inwardly facing upper opening 44.
The corrugations 23 also form a plurality of vertically extending, radially outwardly open, outer channels 45, each defined by two adjacent sides 29 of the corrugations 23, these channels being covered by the filter cloth 40.
The function of a filter element according to the present invention is the following: The valves 8 and 14 are opened and a liquid to be filtered is introduced through the conduit 7 into the inlet compartment 5 and is allowed to fill that compartment displacing air through the filter element 20 into the outlet compartment 6 and out through the conduit 15. As soon as the entire inlet compartment is filled with the liquid, the pressure differential between the inlet compartment and the outlet compartment (generally atmospheric pressure in the latter) will force the liquid through the filter cloth 40 covering the channels 45. Since these channels are closed upwardly by abutment between the body 22 and the recessed portion 31 of the carrier plate 25, the filtrate entering these channels will be forced downwardly (arrows A) towards the lower end of the channels which is open due to the space existing between the lower end of the body 22 and the bottom wall 33 of the cup shaped body 32. At the lower end of the body 22, the filtrate will turn upwards (arrows B) through the open ends 43 into the inner channels 42 and will continue upwards (broken line arrows C) in these channels (hidden in FIG. 2) towards the top of the filter element. At the upper end of the channels 42, the filtrate will turn radially inwards through the openings 44 and then upwards through the openings 39 (arrows D) into the outlet compartment 6, and finally through the downwardly directed branch 15 of the conduit 13 and the open valve 14 into the non-shown filtrate tank.
When time comes to interrupt the filtration procedure and to remove the filter cake deposited on the filter cloth, the valve 8 is closed, and the valve 10 is opened to introduce pressurized air through the conduit 9 into the inlet compartment 5. At the same time, the valve 12 is opened to drain the inlet compartment from liquid through the conduit 11. From the moment the level in the inlet compartment has dropped to the level of the upper edge of the side wall 34 of the cup shaped body 32, no more filtrate will be produced through the filter element. Instead, after the valve 12 has been closed, air will be forced through the filter cake deposited on the filter cloth 40 and through the filter cloth, thereby drying the filter cake and displacing filtrate remaining within the inner channels 42 upwards towards the outlet compartment 6.
When the filter cake has obtained a desired degree of dryness, the valves 10 and 14 are closed, and the valves 18 and 19 are opened. Backwash water is introduced from the conduit 16 and the branch 17 of conduit 13 into the outlet compartment 6 and from there through the openings 39 (see FIG. 5) into the inner channels 42 (arrows E) of the filter element. The water flows downwards (broken line arrows F) and at the bottom of the channels it turns upwards (arrow G) into the outer channels 45 and distributes itself along the channels which it leaves through the filter cloth 40 (arrows H), thereby removing filter cake from the filter cloth. The filter cake and water fall down to the bottom of the inlet compartment and are discharged through the open valve 19.
The function of displacing filtrate upwards is possible due to the relatively small cross section of each channel 42. Typical measures of a body 22 are: Outer diameter 80 mm (between outer ridges 27), inner diameter 60 mm (between inner ridges 28), circumferential distance between adjacent outer ridges 27 10 mm, and material thickness 0,3 mm.
In a filter element having these measures, the area/volume ratio is about 11, i.e. about twice the value of a conventional tube filter. This value is calculated with the interior volume being the sum of the volumes of the inner channels 42 and the outer channels 45. However, a more correct value (almost a doubling) would result from calculating with only the volume of the inner channels 42, since in fact this volume is what has to be displaced upwards when emptying the filter element.
The support structure 24 is shown here to be cylindrical. Other cross sectional shapes are possible, such as rectangular, although the circular cross section is preferred due to its superior capacity to withstand pressure.
The circular shape is also preferred because when forming the body 22 from a corrugated sheet, the inner channels 42 obtain a smaller cross section than do the outer channels 45, as seen in FIG. 5. This has the advantage that a relatively small volume of filtrate has to be displaced up through the channels 42 when emptying the filter element before backwashing. On the other hand, when backwash liquid coming from the relatively narrow channels 42 enters the relatively wide channels 45 (arrows G), its flow rate is reduced leading to a corresponding reduction in the impingement shock between backwash liquid and the filter cloth 40.

Cheap flights from Florida to Cali
Travel > South America > Colombia > Florida to Cali flights
The beginning of the 20th century saw Cali as a modest quiet urban settlement with approximately 20.000 inhabitants, which based their living on agriculture. The city limits were surrounded by mango plantations and all the food supplies the population needed came from their own crops that they recuperated from the Spanish Crown. They grew sugar cane and ate mostly beef and cheese, but the mines in the Pacific started bringing together a more and more relevant industrial sector in their... (read more in our Cali History)

- Women ice hockey team readies for the real Chak De moment
Gurgaon: Compared to their male counterparts, India's sportswomen, for much of the time they're out there contending, must feel they have to put in extra effort so that their achievements can be, rightly, celebrated and cherished. But times (and attitudes) are changing, albeit at a pace that's often glacial. The likes of Saina Nehwal and Jhulan Goswami, and Mary Kom and Sania Mirza, have proved that sporting accomplishment can motivate like nothing else, no matter what the gender of the athlete. International Women's Day will be marked this year with the hosting of a friendly game of ice hockey in which players from the women's national team will be seen in action. It promises to be a historic occasion, for this is the first-ever women's side to represent the country in ice hockey. Not surprisingly, all the players in the line-up hail from northern Ladakh, though that does not in any way diminish what these women have accomplished. Besides looking to recognise and honour the endeavours, both sung and unsung, of women in Indian sport, this one-off match, to be staged at iSKATE (India's first all-season ice rink) will also seek to raise awareness and garner support from potential sponsors for the Indian team's participation in the 2016 IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia. The tournament, also featuring Chinese Taipei, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, is scheduled to be held in Chinese Taipei from March 21 to 26. Kunzes Angmo, 25, is one of 18 members of Team India. The thought of playing the 'friendly' excites her, but not as much as representing the nation abroad. "It's a proud feeling," shared Kunzes. "I'm happy to be playing for India, and we'll all be trying our best." She and her team mates are used to playing outdoors in Leh. Hopefully, practice in Gurgaon - their first-time training indoors - will help prepare the ladies for the Asian test. The exhibition match is being organised by the National Ice Hockey Association of India and iSKATE. Entry is free for women - so come and get inspired.

I love playing these games I find online. But now I'm wondering if this is a phenomenon of life 'down under'??? Whatever...it's fun. It was Kristy who suggested this one. Boy oh boy, desks have lots of interesting stuff.
So on my desk, there are many things but as it is pm, the light isn't that good with just the camera flash gripe gripe gripe and I have hair to color (mine!), this is quick and dirty.
You will see the corner of my Imac, the corner of the keyboard, the Who cd that will not record on Itunes (what is it with some old cds?), a drained mug of Russian Caravan, and the new thingamajig I had to buy to upload pics from my camera. It was dirt cheap but I can't believe I wore out the old one. Dh says yes I did...
Gotta put a note on the cal to check next Weds...Thanks Kristy

Velir, a full-service digital agency, today announced that it was honored with a 2013 MobileWebAward by the Web Marketing Association (WMA) for Outstanding Achievement in Mobile for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) website. Velir partnered with RWJF, the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health and health care, and digital agency Threespot, to create a website that delivers valuable content into the hands of those who can help create the social change the foundation is looking to achieve. The new site resolved key issues of mobile performance, poor search functionality, sunken content and tedious editorial workflows.
RWJF's mission includes a focus on reversing childhood obesity, advancing medical school education and revolutionizing data-driven healthcare. Velir worked with the foundation to create a web presence to help foster pioneering ideas and enable transformative change. The project had three major objectives: to integrate community and social media fundamentals into the foundation's public presence; to facilitate connections among constituents and colleagues to promote discussions and, collaboration on issues and content; and to integrate community into RWJF's public presence for grantees and national program offices and staff.
"We are honored to receive this recognition from the WMA for our work with Threespot and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation," said Mark Gregor, CEO of Velir. "Together we have created a modern site that is visually appealing and intuitive to use on any device. We implemented data visualizations, improved content searchability, streamlined authoring and publishing workflows, all while optimizing for desktop, mobile and tablet. Web traffic and engagement have increased, expanding the foundation's reach as they focus on enhancing the health of all Americans."
The submission from Velir, Threespot and RWJF was judged against a variety of prominent companies from 96 industries in WMA's 17th annual international Web Competition. The MobileWebAward Competition is for websites and applications built for mobile devices available to users for at least part of calendar year 2013. Entries were judged based on strict criteria in design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity and ease of use by a range of experienced professionals with an in-depth understanding of current state-of-the-art mobile web development, design and marketing skills. The winners were recognized for achieving a standard of excellence for which all mobile websites should strive.
The RWJF site is powered by the Adobe CQ Content Management System as well as Datacenter, Velir's signature data management and visualization platform. This integration empowers RWJF to find new and powerful ways to tell stories with its data. A responsive design framework enables the site to morph gracefully across any number of devices, while the Solr platform provides faceted search capabilities with custom ranking logic to serve up relevant content.
