A. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to air filtration. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a method and means for filtering exhaust gas from a fixed-base combustion source, such as a boiler.
B. Problems in the Art
Air pollution is caused by the discharge into the air of gases and materials such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, soot, dust, and chemicals associated with the combustion process. Automobiles contribute approximately 40% of the pollutants released into the air per day. Due to their size, mobile nature, and fuel, not much can be done to clean up automobiles, except hope for a cleaner fuel. However, the remaining 60% of air pollutants, which are mainly attributable to boilers, furnaces, incinerators, and manufacturing processes, can be reduced. These pollutant sources are all fixed-base, i.e., stationary. By removing or filtering the pollutants from these stationary sources, much can be done to reduce air pollution.
Currently, there are no known filtration methods or systems which adequately clean exhaust gases from sources such as boilers. Bag filters fill up quickly and need to be changed and cleaned often. Fiber filters and ceramic filters also fill up quickly and need to be changed often. Ion filters last longer than bag filters or ceramic filters, but cost more to clean and maintain. There is a need in the art for a method and system which can filter the pollutants out of the large quantities of exhaust gas that are produced by fixed-base sources.
Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to reduce air pollution.
It is a further object of the present invention to remove particulate and toxic matter from the exhaust stream produced by boilers, furnaces, incinerators, and the like.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an air filtration system and method which is economical, durable in use, and efficient in operation.
These, as well as other objects and features of the invention, will be apparent from the following detailed description and claims in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present invention includes a method of filtering a gas stream. The method includes saturating the gas stream with a liquid to knock particulates out of the gas stream and into a receptacle. The method further includes removing the particulates from the receptacle. The method can be used to remove particulates from exhaust gases or from open air sources. In the preferred embodiment, water is the liquid used to knock particulates out of the gas stream. In addition to particulates, other materials which have been converted to gases during the combustion process, such as nitrates and sulfates, can be removed by the process of the present invention.
The present invention can also include an air filtration system. The filtration system has a filtration chamber. The filtration chamber has a gas stream inlet opening and a gas stream outlet opening. Both high and low pressure nozzles are in fluid communication with an interior portion of the filtration chamber. The nozzles are in fluid communication with a liquid supply. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid is water. The nozzles can deliver enough liquid or water to saturate the gas stream, knocking particulates out of the gas stream in the process.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an embodiment of an air filtration system according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a right side elevational view of the filtration chamber.
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the filtration chamber.
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the filtration chamber.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view similar to FIG. 1, showing a heat exchanger and a fan at a gas discharge end.
The present invention will be described as it applies to an exemplary embodiment. It is not intended that the present invention be limited to the described embodiment. It is intended that the invention cover all modifications and alternatives which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a top plan view of an embodiment of an air filtration system 10 according to the present invention. Direction of gas or air flow through system 10 is indicated by arrow 11. A boiler exhaust flue 12 is connected to a heat exchanger 14. Heat exchanger 14 is designed to decrease the temperature of exhaust gas that enters into the heat exchanger 14 to a temperature of 70� Fahrenheit or less. The temperature of the exhaust gas should be reduced so that the temperature is less than the boiling point of the fluid that is applied to the exhaust stream (explained later on). The lower the temperature of the gas, the lower its saturation point is. As the saturation point is decreased, the exhaust gas will hold less particulates in suspension.
Heat exchanger 14 is a liquid heat exchanger which has a cold liquid input line 18 and a hot liquid exit line 16. In the preferred embodiment, water is used as the heat exchange fluid. Of course, other suitable liquids, such as anti-freeze, could be used as the heat exchange liquid medium. A heat exchanger chiller and pump 20 are connected to the cold air input line 18. Heat exchanger 14 is a conventional liquid flow heat exchanger. Rather than a heat exchanger, other suitable cooling mechanisms could be used.
In most situations, exhaust gas leaving the boiler exhaust flue 12 has a high velocity or flow rate. Heat exchanger 14 is preferably designed with a greater cross-sectional area than exhaust flue 12. The increased cross-sectional area will decrease the velocity or flow rate of the exhaust gas as it enters the heat exchanger 14. It is important to slow the exhaust gas down so that it has enough time to become fully saturated in the filtration chamber 22.
After the exhaust gas flows through and is cooled by heat exchanger 14, it enters into a filtration chamber 22. Filtration chamber 22 includes an exhaust gas saturation section 24 and a mist-vapor separation section 32. Filtration chamber 22 has a cross-sectional area greater than heat exchanger 14, decreasing the flow rate of the exhaust gas even further. Slowing the exhaust gas helps ensure maximum "cleansing" of the gas. Rather than being part of a single chamber 22, the gas saturation section 24 and the mist-vapor separation section 32 could be separate tanks. Alternatively, the mist-vapor separation section 32 could be eliminated. However, eliminating the mist-vapor separation section 32 would increase the amount of liquid or water that is lost in the process or would increase the cost of recovering the water.
FIG. 2 shows a right side elevational view taken from the vantage point of line 2—2 in FIG. 1. The gas saturation section 24 is equipped with high pressure nozzles 64 and low pressure nozzles 66. The nozzles are connected to a liquid source, usually a water source. The nozzles 64, 66 are in fluid communication with the interior portion of the gas saturation section 24. The nozzles are staggered to allow for uniform "soaking" of the exhaust gas. The high pressure nozzles 64 are pointed in the direction of the exhaust gas flow at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the exhaust gas flow. The high pressure nozzles helps to agitate the air flow and assist movement through the moist environment of the filtration chamber 22 and prevent the formation of voids within exhaust gas flow.
On the left side (not shown) of the gas saturation section 24, going from the entrance of the filtration chamber 22 towards the center, there are two banks of high volume low pressure nozzles 66, followed by a bank of high pressure nozzles 64. These nozzles are followed by two more banks of low pressure nozzles 66, and another bank of high pressure nozzles 64. The nozzle banks on the left side are opposite the nozzle banks on the right side. The nozzles 64, 66 saturate the exhaust gas with water as it enters the gas saturation section 24.
FIG. 4 shows a top plan view of the filtration chamber 22. Located on top of the gas saturation section 24 are low pressure nozzles 66. Nozzles 66 are connected to a liquid source, usually a water source. Nozzles 66 are in fluid communication with the interior of the filtration chamber 22. Along with the nozzles 64, 66 that are placed on the left and right hand sides of the gas saturation section 24, the low pressure nozzle 66 located on the top of the gas saturation section 24 saturate the gas with water as it passes through the nozzles 64, 66. Due to the amount of water that is released from the nozzles 64, 66 the gas becomes saturated. All, or almost all, of the particular matter that is suspended in the gas is knocked out of the air by the water. These particulates gather at the bottom of the filtration chamber 22.
In addition to particulate matter, there are other materials which are converted to a gas during the combustion process and are contained in the exhaust gas stream. For example, the exhaust gas stream will often contain carbon dioxide, nitrates, sulfates, arsenic, mercury, and other harmful materials. Many of these harmful products will dissolve in water. Therefore, much of these problem materials and gases will be removed from the gas stream in the filtration process.
FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of the filtration chamber 22. Pipe 70 is in fluid communication with an interior portion of filtration chamber 22. Pipe 70 is also in fluid communication with the reclaim pump 38. As particulate matter drops to the bottom of the filtration chamber 22, pump 38 operates to pull the particular matter and water out of the filtration chamber 22 through pipe 70.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, after gas passes through the gas saturation section 24, it flows into the gas-vapor separation section 32. This portion 32 of the filtration chamber 22 is big enough to allow excess airborne water to settle out of the gas stream. The excess airborne water that settles out of the gas stream is eventually reclaimed by pump 38.
The gas then passes into a dehumidifier 34. Dehumidifier 34 is provided to remove excess moisture from the gas stream. The excess moisture is reclaimed through line 68 so that the water can be used again. Preferably, the dehumidifier 34 reduces the relative humidity of the gas to below 40%. Of course, the moisture content of the gas could vary depending on how much of the water needed to be recycled and the extra cost of reducing the humidity of the gas below 40% or replacing the lost water. The gas can then be released through discharge flue 36.
Rather than using a dehumidifier, the first heat exchanger 14 could be designed to reduce the temperature of the gas stream 11 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less. At lower temperatures, the gas stream 11 will hold less water. A mechanical water recovery filter could also be placed within the filtration chamber to "wring" most of the remaining moisture from the gas stream 11. However, reducing the temperature to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less is more expensive than using a dehumidifier to recover the water.
Returning to FIG. 1, air filtration system 10 includes a water recycling system and a heat exchange system. A fresh water supply tank 60 is fluidly coupled to a fresh water pump 28 through line 62. Ideally, supply tank 60 contains enough water to maintain operation of the filtration system 10 for 4 to 5 minutes during routine maintenance. However, supply tank 60 should not contain so much water that it will fill the filtration chamber 22 and back flow into the heat exchanger 14 and exhaust flue.
Fresh water pump 62 is fluidly coupled to fresh water distribution block 26 through line 30. Fresh water distribution block 26 provides fresh water for the nozzles 64, 66. As previously discussed, the nozzles 64, 66 provide water to the interior portion of the filtration chamber 22.
Water is removed from the filtration chamber 22 and dehumidifier 34 via the reclaim pump 38 (FIGS. 2 and 3 ). Reclaim pump 38 pumps water, along with particulates in the water, to sediment tank 44. The sediment tank 44 should be large enough to allow particles in the water to settle out. An auger (not shown) at the bottom of sediment tank 44 is used to remove sediment particles. The removed materials can then be processed as a hazardous waste or as a renewable chemical source.
Next, water flows from sediment tank 44 through line 46 to distillation tank 48. Heat from hot liquid line 16 is used to heat the water and the distillation tank 48 to its boiling point. The majority of the water soluble contaminants (such as nitrates and sulfates) that are present in the exhaust gas flow 11 have a higher evaporation point than water. These contaminants dissolve or are absorbed by the water in the filtration chamber 22. When the water is boiled away, many of the contaminants will remain in the distillation tank 48.
The contaminants that remain after the water is evaporated have an acidic chemical make-up. Due to the acidity, both the distillation tank 48 and the sediment tank 44 are preferably made from a non-corrosive material. Distillation tank 48 should be drained regularly, with the waste being processed as a hazardous waste or as a renewable chemical source.
The water vapor from distillation tank 48 flows through line 52 into condenser 54. The water vapor is cooled back into a liquid in the condenser 54. Return pump 56 pumps the liquid water through line 58 back to the fresh water supply tank 60.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a modified air filtration system 10A. FIG. 5 contains all the elements of FIG. 1. However, many of the elements are not shown, to allow for clear illustration of the differences between FIGS. 1 and 5.
Air filtration system 10A includes a second heat exchanger 72 after the dehumidifier 34. The gas of the dehumidifier 34 has a temperature of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the average outside temperature in most places is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the exhaust gas would settle to the ground if it was discharged from dehumidifier 34. Even after being filtered, the exhaust gas is high in carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and very low in oxygen. This gas concentration would not sustain animal life in the area of the discharge point and could be a health hazard. Therefore, it is desirable to heat the exhaust gas to a temperature where the gas will rise into the atmosphere and dissipate at a point where it is not a hazard. Preferably, the exhaust gas should be heated to a temperature above the hottest outside air temperature.
The second heat exchanger 72 uses excess heat from distillation tank 48. As previously discussed, hot liquid line 16 provides heat to the distillation tank 48. The hot liquid is pumped out by heat exchange or pump 20A from line 50 through line 18A. The hot liquid in line 18A is used to heat the air in heat exchanger 72. After the liquid is cooled in heat exchanger 72, it flows through line 19 to the first heat exchanger 14. The cool liquid from line 19 is used to cool the exhaust gas in the first heat exchanger 14.
The second heat exchanger 72 is connected to an outlet flue 36A. The outlet flue is connected to an exhaust fan 74. When the gas stream is saturated with liquid or water in the gas saturation section 24, the density of the gas stream will increase. This may cause problems with the gas flow, creating a back pressure that would affect the fuel consumption and operation of a boiler connected to the filtration system 10A. It is desirable to maintain normal atmospheric pressure within the filtration chamber 22 to minimize the effect of the filtration process on the designed operation and efficiency of the boiler.
The exhaust fan 74 is used to maintain a constant pressure, preferably normal atmospheric pressure or lower, within the filtration system 10A. Preferably, exhaust fan 74 is a variable speed fan. Pressure sensors (not shown) can be put into the first heat exchanger 14 and the filtration chamber 22. The sensors can be input to a computer. Based on the pressure sensors, the computer adjusts the variable speed fan 74 to maintain constant pressure. The desired effect is to keep the gas flow out the exhaust flue 12 the same as what it would be if the exhaust flue 12 was simply connected to the outside air, rather than the filtration system 10A.
It should be noted that a carbon dioxide scrubbing system could be placed between the fan 74 and the second heat exchanger 72. There are commercially available scrubbing systems which could be used. A scrubbing system is not required.
Although the present invention has been discussed with respect to exhaust gas from a boiler, it is not intended that the invention be limited to that context. In particular, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be used to clean gas or air from any source. For example, the filtration system could be connected to the open air and could be used to clean air within a building.
A general description of the present invention as well as the preferred embodiment has been set forth above. Those skilled in the art will recognize and be able to practice additional variations in the methods and systems described which fall within the teachings of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications and additions are deemed to be within the scope of the invention which is to be eliminated only by the claims appended hereto.

When sin invades our lives it robs us of joy in the Lord. David knew what it was to experience the darkness and depressiveness of unconfessed sin. On one occasion, David had noticed a beautiful woman named Bathsheba bathing. He lusted after her and like all acts of sin; a number of sinful thoughts went unchecked in his life. These thoughts and desires produced the physical actions of adultery () and even murder (). For a time, he kept silent. Before David confessed his sin to Lord he described his unrepentant condition by saying, Continue reading Unconfessed Sin – A Thief of Joy
2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, "I am pregnant."
14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die." 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, "When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, 'Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"

Tell Interior Secretary Jewell to reject Shell's new plans to drill in the Arctic this summer.
Shell is racing to sink its drills into the Arctic's Chukchi Sea this summer — and the Obama Administration appears ready to give them the green light. The Interior Department itself has already determined that there's a 75% chance of a major oil spill in the Arctic Ocean if oil development is allowed to move forward there. It's not worth the risk! Tell Secretary Jewell to protect our natural heritage, our climate and our communities by rejecting Shell's disastrous drilling plans.

Before we jump into today's post, let's gauge how your marketing to-do list compares with everyone else:
Understanding Your Results
How did you compare? If your current to-do list is over 10 items, you are probably experiencing a bout of "kill me now" syndrome depending on how substantial those tasks are. While we are lucky to live in a world with so many marketing options, we often spread ourselves and our message too thin. Now, don't get me wrong. I think it's important to stay up on the latest trends and try out new ways to market to your target customer. However, focus is essential for success. Consider removing, delegating, or outsourcing your tasks before adding more to your list. Don't know where to start? Here's a quick guide on how to prioritize depending on your current business need:
Revenue Is Low and Marketing Leads Are Low
If you need revenue now, you need to know who your customers are in order to sell to them. Prioritize tasks that will help you capture your potential customer's information.
- Create content and host it behind a landing page. Have you written any substantial whitepapers related to your product or service? How about a video walk through of your product? Great! Now, put it behind a landing page. What's a landing page, you ask? It's a site where you fill out your contact information in exchange for a piece of content. Here's an example:
If the content is substantial enough, customers won't mind giving you their information. So, move that branding video down to the bottom and move up that industry-winning "gated" whitepaper.
- Invest in paid advertising that will drive new customers to your site. Not all paid advertising is equal. Banner ads on a website are great branding tools, but tend to have limited revenue-related return on investment. Instead, focus on channels that provide a guaranteed ROI or have a track record of driving new customers to your site. Some examples include third party email blasts, pay-per-lead vendors that will only charge you for each download, or search engine marketing that only shows your ads when people search keywords. Please note that lead generation campaigns such as the above require proper nurturing and follow up once the customer has been identified. So, once you have all of those leads, now what? This leads us to our next business scenario.
Revenue Is Low, But You Have Plenty of Marketing Leads
In this situation, it's more important to focus on converting the people you already know into buying customers and save the paid advertising for later.
- Create a targeted nurture program. Focus on providing customers the content they need to move through the sales cycle. This could include a 3-part email campaign offering product related content (without a form) along with a dedicated telemarketing call or even targeted direct mail campaign. Speaking of which…
- Targeted Direct Mail. Direct Mail is making a comeback. Globally too. As we are all inundated with email, print is starting to make a bigger impression. Additionally, since you have a whole slew of leads, you know exactly who to nurture via direct mail, thus giving you a greater chance of conversion.
Take a look at your list – how do your tasks fit in with your business need? It's time to remove, postpone, or outsource some tasks. Need help? Sometimes it is easier to have a set of fresh eyes review. Email me your list with some context and I'll respond with my recommendations.

15 States With The Most Dog Bite Claims In 2013
State Farm recently released its top 15 states with the most dog bite claims in 2013, and leading the pack by 140 claims was California. According to the insurer, 449 claims were paid out to a tune of $14.7 million as the result of dog bite attacks last year. That was followed by Illinois (No. 2), where 309 claims racked up $8.9 million in payouts.
At No. 3, Ohio showed considerably less activity with 221 claims ($4.2 million), while Texas was next with 207 claims ($4.0 million). Rounding out the top five, Pennsylvania reported 180 claims; however, the total payouts were more there than in Ohio and Texas at $5.8 million, indicating more serious attacks.
Here's the full breakdown from State Farm:
1. California 449 claims $14.7 million paid
2. Illinois 309 claims $8.9 million paid
3. Ohio 221 claims $4.2 million paid
4. Texas 207 claims $4.0 million paid
5. Pennsylvania 180 claims $5.8 million paid
6. Michigan 162 claims $3.9 million paid
7. New York 149 claims $6.4 million paid
8. Indiana 146 claims $3.5 million paid
9. Minnesota 120 claims $4.0 million paid
10. Georgia 106 claims $2.1 million paid
11. Arizona 105 claims $2.8 million paid
12. Florida 93 claims $5.5 million paid
13. Oregon 91 claims $1.4 million paid
14. Missouri 88 claims $2.0 million paid
15. New Jersey 86 claims $4.3 million paid
One particularly alarming statistic that the insurer shared was this: in spite of a decrease in the dog population from 2006 to 2011, there were the same amount of dog bite incidents. This demonstrates a worsening negligence on the part of dog owners to exercise responsibility for their animals. And in addition to being potentially fatal — especially for small children, it's a very costly burden to insurance customers.
The Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) estimates that in 2013 alone, more than $483 million in claims were attributed to dog bite incidents. State Farm's top 15 accounts for about $73.5 million of that.
Other disturbing finds:
The Center for Disease Control points out that dog bites were the 11th leading cause of nonfatal injury to children ages 1-4, 9th for ages 5-9 and 10th for ages 10-14 from 2003-2012.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 26,935 reconstructive procedures were performed in 2013 to repair injuries caused by dog bites.
U.S. Postal Service reports that 5,581 postal employees were attacked by dogs in 2013. Furthermore, children, elderly, and postal carriers are the most frequent victims of dog bites.
Finally, the American Humane Association reports that 66 percent of bites among children occur to the head and neck.
To curb cases of dog bites, State Farm shared the following safety tips that every responsible dog owner should be exercising:
- Never leave a baby or small child alone with a dog, even if it is a family pet. Children are often bitten by a dog in their own household.
- Ask permission before touching or playing with a dog.
- Remember that any dog can be dangerous and any dog can bite.
In Summary
Everyone thinks their dog wouldn't hurt another person, but the truth is, as loving as dogs are, dog bites can and do happen across all breeds with great frequency. Your dog may not want to bite someone, but you never can tell what he will be thinking in a given situation, particularly involving a stranger. Protect yourself, your pet, and the innocent by exercising best safety practices.

The Curriculum Audit and Audit Training
The Curriculum Audit is a rigorous, straightforward process that focuses on what it will take for any school system to deliver teaching and learning in the most effective ways.
The Curriculum Audit provides an intense and independent scrutiny of policies, planning, organizational relationships, administrative functioning, curriculum design and delivery, equity, feedback use, budgeting, facilities, and many other factors that contribute to the optimization of the school system.
It is not an option for the fainthearted, but it fills the need for accurate, objective, and meaningfully useful information for those serious about making their school system better in terms of student achievement.
Essentially, the curriculum audit is a system of organizational analysis, which originally started about thirty years ago by the national accounting firm, Peat, Marwick, and Mitchell. The curriculum audit trademarks and copyrights have been owned by Curriculum Management Systems, inc. since 1996, and CMSi has authorized Phi Delta Kappa International and the Texas Association of School Administrators to conduct audits under a contractual agreement. PDK offers a rigorously independent, unbiased organization dedicated only to quality universally available educational opportunity on an international scale, and TASA similarly offers services to school systems in Texas only.
The audit investigates three things: two fundamental instructional management issues and one important issue in learning:
- Does the school system have a properly managed instructional program (curriculum) that is planned, executed, and assessed in accordance with appropriate standards?
- How does the school system conform to the standards of quality in instructional organization which includes the following?
- Adequacy, specificity, and scope of board policies and planning?
- Sufficient quality in direction for teaching and learning?
- Consistency and equity in schools and program implementation?
- Effectiveness of program and process monitoring and assessment?
- Use and allocations of budget and resources for productivity and quality improvement?
- Are all students achieving success equally and effectively within the school system, and if not, what can be done about it?
The analytical process follows standard auditing procedures, and the product is a comprehensive, detailed, and highly useful report. The detailed report analyzes the district's programs and policies, diagnoses strengths and weaknesses, and recommends concrete courses of action for the board and superintendent to follow in order to improve and advance quality in the educational organization.
The audit involves examination of three key data sources documents (provided by the district), interviews (with all key personnel and selected clientele), and an on-site visit to all classrooms in the system. The site visit usually requires the better part of a week, depending upon the size of the district.
Over 250 school districts across the country have had curriculum audits. The standards and criteria used in audits are found in the book, The Curriculum Management Audit: Improving School Quality (Frase, English, and Poston, 2002). The process supports the belief that the curriculum audit is a very useful tool for superintendents and boards who wish to learn the needs and status of their school district in terms of a productive and effective educational system.
The community is able to identify how well the system delivers teaching and learning, and what is working satisfactorily and what needs attention or improvement. The audit report frequently becomes an "agenda for action" and is based on an external, unbiased perspective that focuses on essential components of quality improvement.

The Curriculum Audit
The Curriculum Audit™, developed and owned by Curriculum Management Systems, Inc., is a structured approach to organizational analysis, policy direction, curriculum quality and equity, and system use of feedback to determine school district effectiveness in promoting student educational attainment.The curriculum management audit was originally employed over 25 years ago to provide policy makers, educational executives, and community constituencies an independent review and a series of recommendations.
The Small School Audit
The Small School Audit was designed especially for school districts with enrollments of less than 2,500 students, and is based on the methodology and approach of the Curriculum Audit. The purpose of the Small Schools Audit is to comprehensively evaluate, in an affordable manner, the quality of the system's curriculum management processes.
The Individual School Audit
The Individual School Audit is a diagnostic process designed to reveal the extent to which the administrators and professional staff of a school, in conjunction with district officials, have developed and implemented a sound, valid, and operational approach for high student achievement performance. Such an approach, set within the framework of adopted board policies and administrative regulations, as well as state regulations, helps the school make maximum use of its human and financial resources in increasing the achievement of its students. The diagnostic Individual School Audit's scope is centered on curriculum and instruction, and any aspect of operations of a school and the school system that enhances or hinders its design and/or delivery.
The Program-Specific Audit
The Program-Specific Curriculum Audit process is based upon generally-accepted principles pertaining to effective instruction and curricular design and delivery, some of which have been referred to as the "effective schools research" and quality improvement processes related to school excellence. Each program-specific Curriculum Audit focuses on a content area or areas selected by the school system; audits have been done in reading/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, special education and vocational-technical education, and can be customized to suit the needs of the district.
Level One Audit Training: Curriculum Assessment, Design, and Delivery
This 3 1/2 day training program is designed to prepare you to examine and evaluate deep alignment issues in order to improve student achievement.
Level Two Audit Training: Systems Factors: Governance, Leadership, and Support Services

PC Aviator Australia :: Flight Controls :: Virtual Reality :: TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Bundle Pack
Virtual cockpit is stunning, lots of detail. External views are great as well. Sound is terrible, especially inside cockpit as sounds are too soft and feel disconnected from what the helicopter is doing. Flight model is a joke, how do you fly this thing? It is swaying all over the place like a drunk person and the slightest touch of the controls sends it flopping into a direction. What a way to completely destroy a beautiful helicopter. I couldn't wait to wipe it off my hard disk and feel cheated by Nemeth Design.

As of late Russian leader Vladimir Putin has making clear his intentions of invading Ukraine. Already he is occupying the Crimean peninsula. Several years after his failed attempt to conquer Georgia (not our Georgia), Putin is deciding to begin his attempt at recreating the old Soviet Union with the Ukraine.
As usual with these kinds of things, Putin is claiming to have a long-standing, indisputable claim to Ukraine. Thing is, the Russians relinquished its claims to other countries with the collapse of the Soviet Union. If the UK started making claims to countries it countrolled during the days of the British Empire, would you expect that to fly? Not to mention the issue of longtime oil/gas disputes between Russia and Ukraine. I'm sure this has nothing to do with oil.
And I'm of the mind that we Americans crossed the line with Iraq, but that hardly makes this right. Besides, at least we were never going to make Iraq a state or anything.
Despite the belief of many ignorant Americans, Putin is not a communist. In fact he is for "pro-growth" tax cuts. And yet his historical role is not measurably different from that of Joseph Stalin or Nikita Khrushchev. Putin still seeks to create an empire through force and threat of force. The more things change…
So what's next? The U.S. government has threatened economic sanctions against Russia. This does not seem to be deterring Putin. After all, why would it? Sanctions only work if they would leave your opponent to conclude that what he is doing is more trouble than it's worth. Since the Russians can get oil from Ukraine, it's hard to imagine that sanctions would make an invasion more trouble than it's worth.
That leaves but one possible way to stop this: war. Of course, that's a pretty grim choice. It could very well lead to a domino effect that starts World War III.
So the most likely conclusion is that Putin at best halts his advance beyond Crimea. Quite possibly, Putin will take over Ukraine. If so, the title of this article may become true. Because such a victory will give Putin the ability to threaten country after country throughout eastern Europe and Asia. That means that Putin's path of destruction is only beginning. And that means that another extended period of brinkmanship between the West and Russia is about to begin.
I'm really sorry to put it like this, but I've gotta call 'em like I see 'em. The truth is that to say we have a bad situation is like saying that the original Cold War lasted a short while.

Where is Mellor?
Now on the edge of Stockport in Greater Manchester, Mellor's location is historically important.
On the south-west and north-west, it is bordered by the two great rivers, Goyt and Etherow, which drain the SW Peak District and join to form the Mersey at the lowest point of Mellor.
On the east, a high ridge overlooks a valley, behind which is Kinder Scout. Three spurs, separated by brooks, project west from the ridge.

Chapter 2: Nick
We got in to Vegas last night at midnight. I had fallen asleep in the c- ah, 'Katie', as we're supposed to call her. When I woke up, we were pulling up to the hotel. As soon as we were out of 'Katie', valet hopped in and swept her away. I took note of the licenses plate, in case the event it was going to come up later. Like if there was another, identical orange Avanti there. Anyway, the number was VB-636, which is weird, I think that's a bit short for a licenses plate...
I went back to sleep almost immediately, and didn't wake up until eight. Matthias had eaten, and Smith (Jones? Smithnjones? Seriously, what is his name?) was still sleeping so I went down to see what types of restaurants there were in the hotel. Eventually I settled on a nice cafe called "Sugar & Ice". I ate a breakfast pastry while sitting in an outdoor dining area next to a very impressive artificial waterfall.
Jonesmith woke up around ten, inhaled breakfast, and dashed off saying something about some scruffy man he had met last night. This probably should have worried me more than it did at the time. A half hour later, he shows up with Renard. Let me just say, Renard is my new personal hero. He's scruffy, gray-hairs, wears a brown trench coat and jeans, and can make bank whenever he wants to. What he does is totally mind-boggling, but he just sums it up by saying he's lucky. When you call an elevator by dropping an apple on the opposite end of the hall, that's not luck, that is the divine intervention of GOD.
Matthias and Renard talked for a while, I could see the gears turning in Matthias's eyes. I don't know how to read that guy, I mean, he seems nice, accepting, all that fluff... But, I know he's got a lot that he's hiding. I've met a happy medium between depressed cynicism and blind joy, and that has granted me exceptional perception. Matthias is part of something, you can see it. Him and Natasha.
And speaking of him and Natasha, as soon as Matthias was done talking to Renard, he kicked the three of us out to call her up. We're ripping off casinos tom morrow. I shouldn't say we, in fact, I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place, that kind of incriminating evidence is not what I want in my personal journal.
Anyway, Renard, Jones, and I spent the rest of the day shopping at the Bellagio. Not the most masculine of activities, but hey, if you cut out gambling there aren't a lot of, ah... wholesome activities that one can take part in in Vegas. I noticed that every store we went into had sale signs up, at first I didn't pay too much attention to that, but then, as soon as Renard passed through the threshold of a store, the cashier brought out a sale sign and stuck it in the window.
"Alright, Renard," I said, "I have to ask you... What's up?"
"Pardon?" he asked.
"The cards, the gambling, the thing in the hallway... Every store we've been in today has put up a sale sign. That's not luck. That's crazy, that's like... witchcraft."
"I dunno," he shrugged, "It's just always been like this since I was a kid. I'm lucky, I can't explain it beyond that..."
"There's a limit though, I mean, you pretty much radiate a Twilight Zone vibe that you can feel a mile away. Seriously, it's supernatural." Again, no answer, just a shrug.
"Did you notice how Matthias just took it in stride?" Smith asked out of the blue.
"Now that you mention it, he did. He didn't even raise an eyebrow when he saw that whole thing in the hallway," I replied.
"You mean you guys don't get this kinda thing a lot?" Renard asked.
"'Course not, the stuff you pull is bizarre," me speaking.
"Well, I think you all took it pretty well. I mean, I've had people flip their lids when I show them some of the things I can do. I was accused of selling my soul to the devil once..."
"Did you?" Smith asked.
"Yes, I sold my soul so that I could play a good game of poker," Renard responded with sarcasm so audacious it was almost tangible. "How do you think this looks on me?" he said, trying on a ridiculous purple hat. The day went on basically the same. Smi- sorry, Jones, bought an assortment of outfits that he apparently intends for us to wear tomorrow while we are out... doing... legitimate things.
I woke up today and lay in bed for about a half hour. My conscious was eating away at me because of all the... legitimate things that I was going to do today. See, the predicament was that the legitimate things were, in fact, legitimate, but it was legitimately balanced in our favor because Renard was just so good at being legitimate. It was legitimately worrying. Legitimate, legitimate, legitimate.
Anyway, eventually I decided to get up, and go spend some time at the pool, seeing as I didn't have anything until eight. Smith joined me, and we stopped at Sugar & Ice before heading down. We spent a good hour or so there, before I noticed Natasha, alone, across the pool.
"Think we should like... say something to her?" Jones asked.
"I don't know, it seems like we should but... I don't trust her you know," I said. It took me a moment to realize she wasn't wearing a bathing suit. She was wearing the same trench coat she wore every day. I guess, since I hadn't seen her in anything else, I didn't really notice. I also realized she was reading, "Is that Das Kapital?"
"It's the Da Vinci Code, racist," Smith replied, "You can tell from the cover art. Hey, you know what's been getting to me?" he asked, in what has to be the most poorly executed topic change I've ever heard.
"The trunk. Katie's trunk."
"It's funny you should mention that..."
"Have you been wondering that too? At first I thought it was like, drugs or guns or something. But if it was, then this whole thing doesn't make sense. A bright orange, vintage car streaking down the highways packed with four people? That's not a great way to get noticed. But there's something else... the way Matthias seemed so... he wasn't even fazed by Renard. And then Natasha always one his own. And the guy who is employing us is named Midas? Who's named that?"
"And I highly doubt someone named Midas makes pencils for a living. So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying it's all just a bit too sketchy for my liking."
"Well yeah, that's what we expected when we signed on, right?"
"I expected meth, or bodies, or pistols. I didn't expect... Well I dunno, just not this. This is different than your ordinary illegal run. I think there is something about the car specifically that Midas wants. I mean, it even has a name, you know? Katie? But, Matthias seems pretty insistent that we call it that. He heard me refer to it as 'the car' when we were leaving that cafe in L.A. the other day, and he growled at me 'you mean Katie'. What's that even about?"
"So, what exactly are you suggesting?"
"I'm suggesting, Nick, that we take a look at the trunk."
"I'd like to hear the logic behind that."
"Look, okay. What are we getting paid to go across country here? Two hundred thousand each? Whoo, I earned half of that last night with Renard. Now here's the thing, Katie is clearly... special? There's something important about her, and whatever it is it's hidden in the trunk. So we take a look and... if we feel like we aren't being paid quite enough as we should be... Or if we decide we like whatever is in the trunk more than two hundred thousand..."
"We take the car for ourselves? Never make it to Midas?"
"Exactly. But we can't commit to that until we know what's in the trunk."
Smith and I spent the rest of the day trying to plot a way to get the car alone the entire day. It seems like it'd be an easy feat, but there really wouldn't be a way to do it without making Matthias or Natasha suspicious, since we had all agreed to only use cabs or walk while we were in Vegas. Plus, we needed it later tonight to make a getaway from the wholesome activities that we were all doing. However, towards the end of the day, Natasha had already picked up me and Jones, and she had left us alone with the car for a few minutes while she picked up Matthias and Renard.
"So now's out chance, right?" said Smith, and as soon as Natasha had passed out of sight, he hopped out and went around back. After about a minute of fumbling with the trunk, he looked at me and frowned. "The lock for the trunk is different than the doors. I've never even heard of that... Is there a button up front to-" Smith trailed off, as he noticed a commotion in the alley across the street. Natasha had just had a little power trip playing hero, and she was walking back across the street with Renard and Matthias. So Jones and I didn't manage to get into the trunk, but we do know we're going to need a key now. We just need to figure out who has and how we're going to get it.

We are Lifestyle and Storytelling Photographers.

We get excited knowing the couples in love have worlds which will in love will collide in the most beautiful of manners. We are present, engaged, aware and intentional at capturing those moments to preserve the whirlwind of the love-filled day. We have found there are no two weddings, no two couples are the same. You're in love? We're in love. We love being able to be a part of cross-cultural weddings, LBGTQ weddings, traditional and offbeat weddings. We know that things work best when we work in partnership to communicate and clarify the wants and needs of our couples throughout the engagement, wedding day and beyond.

Many of our Collections include print options : Metal, Canvas, Acrylic. Again, it gets jargon-y from here, so we're happy to chat, learn what's important to you and find a way to meet your wants and needs!
Special services offered (optional or included):
We have complimentary engagement sessions with two of our three Collections, and you should just call us about some other fun offerings we have to share with our clients!
Is there anything else you would like me to know?
We authentically care about capturing the story, the love, the details of your wedding day. We'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your story, your vision and your wants!
