From the BLURB:
From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, To Kill A Mockingbird.
Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch – 'Scout' – returns home from New York City to visit her ageing father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill A Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past – a journey that can be guided only by one's own conscience.
Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humour and effortless precision – a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance of To Kill A Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context and new meaning to a classic.
'Go Set a Watchman' is Harper Lee's first draft and "parent" novel to her 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
I liked it. Quite a lot actually. And my liking the book worried me a bit at first. I thought for sure that I was simply being incapable of an unbiased opinion where Harper Lee is concerned. I found a comment left on a Wall Street Journal article about the discovery of the manuscript, and I can concede that it may well apply to me in many ways; "The author and book have been given an exalted status well beyond the quality of the book. People have projected their own opinions about race onto the book."
So take that concession as you will – I may well be an unreliable reviewer.
You have been warned.
A brief summary of the book, if you've been living under a rock ... While (GSAW) was written as the first draft that eventually would turn into 'Mockingbird', it is in fact set in Mockingbird's future when 'Scout' – now, Jean Louise – returns to Maycomb, Alabama for her sixth trip home since boarding at a girl's college in Georgia and then moving to New York. Jean Louise is twenty-six, Atticus is an old man in his 70s and riddled with rheumatoid arthritis to the point that his sister, Alexandra, has had to move in with him to help him cope.
Atticus is still practicing law, and his partner at the firm is young man Henry 'Hank' Clinton – orphaned at a young age, he was an old friend of Jem's, whom Jean Louise long had a crush on and has been dating for a while now, but is putting off his many attempts at engagement.
Early on in the book we learn (devastatingly) that Jem died rather suddenly at the age Jean Louise is now. Later we learn the reason;
Jean Graham Finch had brought to the family the heart that killed her son twenty-two years later on the sidewalk in front of his father's office.
The book is set in Jean Louise's annual two-week trip home, when she has her eyes opened to Maycomb's unchanging ways … and while the rest of the nation may be far more progressive and responsive as a result of the Civil Rights Movement, Maycomb – in fact, the entire South – lags behind in its insistence to keep the 'colored' population in their place.
Jean Louise is particularly horrified to learn that Atticus and Hank share the views of the white populace in town – in particular, Atticus's abhorrence to NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The novel deals with Jean Louise's shattered worldview, her loss of the father she had built up in mind and memory;
The one human being she had ever fully and wholeheartedly trusted had failed her; the only man she had ever known to whom she could point and say with expert knowledge, "He is a gentleman, in his heart he is a gentleman," had betrayed her, publicly, grossly, and shamelessly.
'Go Set a Watchman' may not speak as profoundly as 'Mockingbird' does on racism, but I won't let that subtract from my high opinion of the novel. Besides, while she may not deal as deftly with the matter of racism, I do think Lee shares some profound thoughts on racists. A particular triumph of 'Mockingbird' was that Lee was able to discern the difference; like in the character of Mayella Ewell, and how she is unraveled to reveal a scared, ignorant girl under her father's boot-heel. I always found Lee's portrayal of Mayella to be a more sympathetic one than even some reader's would allow, and that she encapsulates the very notion that racism is bred from ignorance.
GSAW is told in third-person, where 'Mockingbird' was first (though told from Jean Louise looking back at several summers of her youth). I was initially a little thrown not to be inside of Scout's head … but I finally got to thinking that GSAW's third-person more easily allows readers to be as disenchanted by Atticus's turn. That may not have been Lee's intention as this was her first draft before 'Mockingbird' existed, but it came across that way to me at least. It is sad and almost hurtful to read Atticus has turned out this way, but that makes it all the more impacting. And by this point, Atticus has become such a literary hero – such a pillar of justice – that the one removed third-person more easily allows readers to take this hurt on for ourselves, rather than just for how it hurts Jean Louise.
I also finished reading GSAW, having recently been moved to tears by Scottish MP Mhairi Black's maiden speech to Parliament … it is sad, but may well be the case that Atticus was more weathercock than signpost; "Weathercocks will spin in whatever direction the wind of public opinion may blow them, no matter what principle they have to compromise. And then there are signposts, which stand true and tall and principled. They point in one direction and they say, 'This is the way to a better society and it is my job to convince you why.'"
One aspect of the novel that I read and particularly enjoyed was Jean Louise's feminism, or rather – Harper Lee's. Jean Louise muses on her time growing up;
… and wondered who else in Maycomb still remembered Scout Finch, juvenile desperado, hell raiser extraordinary.
Scout Finch as a rough-and-tumble tomboy was a statement in itself in 'Mockingbird', and Lee continues to make similar ones with Jean Louise as a twenty-six year-old woman. There's a particularly delicious scene at The Coffee (when Aunt Alexandra invites all of Jean Louise's old schoolgirl classmates round for coffee and gossip) – Jean Louise archly notes the various camps of women, from those who are newly married to the recent mothers. She is withering and wary of them all, and it is a scene that rings like something out of Kathryn Stockett's 'The Help' (oh, I would love Jean Louise to meet Skeeter!), particularly for how many of the women spout their husbands' views of 'negroes' as lore.
Then there's the fact that Jean Louise is a holdout to Hank's proposals of marriage. He teases her for not being a more complacent woman who agrees with everything he says … and while it is teasing, there's a subversion going on too. I will say that Jean Louise and Hank's exchanges offer some of Lee's clunkiest dialogue – a lot of "baby" and whimsy that's hard to slog through at times – but there are still charmingly dissenting statements to be found there.
The feminist push-back in me even wonders if a lot of the critics' resounding dismissal of GSAW stems from the fact that a big focus of the novel is on Jean Louise's rejection of settling into marriage and babies, and the overall feminist subversion … it is very much a "woman's story".
Though I would never have thought it before, GSAW got me thinking that there is something rather masculine about 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. The two quiet heroes of the book are men – Atticus and Boo Radley – and Tom Robinson acts, along with Boo, as a symbol of the book's underlying message. Scout and Jem are very pointedly devoid of much feminine company, since their mother died when Scout was two. There is even a rape trial at the heart of the book, concerning a woman who is very clearly lying. 'Mockingbird' is in many ways, a very masculine fare … but then again, most books deemed "classics" or universally praised tend to be. Natalie Kon-yu recently wrote for The Conversation, about how few award-winning novels are actually about women's stories – the successful literary books tend to feature male characters, and male-centric stories. 'Go Set a Watchman' is very pointedly not that.
This book concerns Jean Louise's disillusionment of her father, her rejection of feminine ideals (mentions of her Aunt Alexandra's bone corset sort of wallop you over the head for symbolism, but they're there nonetheless), and turning down a man's many proposals of marriage. At one point, Aunt Alexandra even muses to Jean Louise;
Men in this age have turned the Other Woman into a psychiatrist's couch, and at far less expense, too.
Heck, Jean Louise even tells a long flashback story of getting her 'curse' (period) and discovering that a girl in her class was sent to an orphanage when it was discovered that her sister had gotten pregnant by the girl's father. GSAW certainly has a stronger cast of women than 'Mockingbird', if only for Aunt Alexandra being on the scene … and the Finch's old housekeeper, Calpurnia, features in one of the book's strongest, most heartbreaking scenes (Jean Louise also pointedly acknowledges that she was raised by a white man and black woman – again, this felt like Stockett's 'The Help' was somewhat prophetic).
GSAW is far from perfect. One of my favourite articles read in connection to the book was in the New York Times, about Harper Lee's editor Tay Hohoff – which reveals how much Lee benefitted from her editor's mentorship and guidance. It's a great read for offering us a glimpse into this fascinating partnership between editor and author – and got me thinking that the same way 'Mockingbird' inspired many to the law, 'Go Set a Watchman' may well ignite interest in a lot of would-be editors. It sure is fun to try and imagine where some threads in GSAW carried Lee into what would become 'To Kill a Mockingbird', and they can mostly be found in Jean Louise's recollecting the lazy days of her childhood …
"What made you think of Dill?" she asked.
"I don't know. Just thought of him."
"You never liked him, did you?"
Henry smiled. "I was jealous of him. He had you and Jem to himself all summer long, while I had to go home the day school was out. There was nobody at home to fool around with."
She was silent. Time stopped, shifted, and went lazily in reverse. Somehow, then, it was always summer. Hank was down at his mother's and unavailable, and Jem had to make do with his younger sister for company. The days were long, Jem was eleven, and the patterns was set:
But you can definitely tell that Lee was improved by Hohoff's suggestions and patient guidance as GSAW turned into 'Mockingbird'. Her dialogue needed improving, particularly the Southern-drawl, long-way-round writing that's so distinctive in 'Mockingbird' but was sometimes bloated in here;
With the same suddenness that a barbarous boy yanks the larva of an ant lion from its hole to leave it struggling in the sun, Jean Louise was snatched from her quiet realm and left alone to protect her sensitive epidermis as best she could …
I rather loved 'Go Set a Watchman' anyway. There are more than a few flashes of the writer Harper Lee would turn out to be, and some paragraphs and lines cut the reader right to the bone;
The knife hit deep, suddenly; "Jean Louise, your brother worried about your thoughtlessness until the day he died!"
It was raining softly on his grave now, in the hot evening. You never said it, you never even thought it; if you'd thought it you'd have said it. You were like that.
Rest well, Jem.
True, 'Go Set a Watchman' is no 'To Kill a Mockingbird' nor is it better. It's different, as are all of the surviving characters – some for better, some for worse. I think I mostly enjoyed having new words from Harper Lee – more so than from Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch, since we're not in her head for this portion of the journey. I really did enjoy 'Go Set a Watchman' though; a book, I would argue, more about feminism than racism … it's also about a different sort of 'paradise lost' than the journey away from childhood, but is instead about needing to hold long-held beliefs up to the light for scrutiny.
Thank you, Harper Lee – it was a privilege to read you for the first time again, and always.

1. QUIT YOUR DAY JOB: If you have something to fall back on, you will fall back on it. If you have to be successful at your writing in order to eat, believe me, you will find a way to make that happen. Barbra Streisand never learned to type, because she figured if she did, she would wind up typing instead of singing. Dump Plan B and stick to Plan A!
2. B.I.C. (Butt In Chair): This is the only cure for writer's block. You have to put in your time. You never know what's going to happen when you put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. But you do know what will happen if you don't put in your time: nothing!
3. SHOW UP: If you are going to live a literary life, live a literary life. Go to readings, workshops, conferences, seminars. Join –or start—a writers group. Become a member of a writers organization (Romance Writers of America, Mystery Writers of America, etc.) Create your own network of people who will support your literary career.
4. READ, READ, READ. Read everything and anything you can get your hands on. Every book you read will teach you something, even the terrible ones. Especially the terrible ones. Study how other writers handle dialogue, description, character development, action, setting, plot. Every once in a while, read something you don't ordinarily read (if you always read fiction, try nonfiction; if you always read poetry, try some prose). Think of all the people who said, "I never read fantasy" and then picked up Harry Potter.
5. BE DIVERSE: Just as you read many different forms (see above) write in many different forms. I started out my literary life as a poet, then wrote my first novel, GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT, then my first collection of short stories A LETTER TO HARVEY MILK, then returned to poetry, SWEET DARK PLACES, and then wrote my first children's book, HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES. Perhaps it's because I get bored easily, but nevertheless, I learn something from every form in which I write. Writing poetry has helped me add sensory detail to my prose; writing fiction has helped me write poetry with a narrative arc. And being versed in different forms has helped me create something new: my most recent book, OCTOBER MOURNING: A SONG FOR MATTHEW SHEPARD explores the impact of Matthew Shepard's murder in a cycle of 68 poems which add up to a historical novel written in verse.
6. REVISE, REVISE, REVISE: Writing is rewriting. Someone famous said, there are two ways to do something, the quick way and the right way. Take your time to get it right, whether that's writing seven drafts or twenty-seven drafts. Show your work to people you trust and listen to what they have to say. Consider their suggestions and try them. When I do this, very often something else entirely appears on the page that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been willing to at least consider someone else's suggestions. Don't get too attached to what you've created. I find that the sentence/paragraph/chapter I'm most attached to is usually the one that has to go. I recently wrote a chapter book for young readers which consisted of 10 short chapters (30 pages). My editor thought it would make a better picture book, so I shortened it to 5 pages. Ouch! So much of my brilliant writing landing on the cutting room floor! But in the end, I had to admit that my editor (who ultimately bought the book) was right.
7. KNOW THE MARKET: Writing is a creative act; publishing is a business. Do your homework and research publishing houses to find the best home for your work. Sometimes it's obvious (sending my novelTHE RELUCTANT DAUGHTER to Bold Strokes Books was a no-brainer). Sometimes it takes a while for a book to find its home. In the words of Winston Churchill, "Never give up." As a friend of mine likes to say, sometimes the editor who will fall in love with your manuscript hasn't even been born yet. She was kidding (sort of) but the point is, be persistent. Another friend of mine says, "Never co-habitate with a manuscript." If you offer (not submit) your manuscript to a publisher and it is declined (not rejected) turn it around and offer it to someone else.
8. SUPPORT OTHER WRITERS: I firmly believe that when one of us succeeds, all of us succeed. Go to readings. Tell friends about books you love. Use your social networks to sing the praises of your writing friends and colleagues. Share their success stories. Plug their books. Cheer them on. This is a tough business. We writers need to stick together!
9. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Which isn't to say that everything you put on paper (or screen) is brilliant. (See #6). It means that you know your work is important and you will make a commitment to give it the time, energy, and effort it deserves. Find others who believe in you, too. And I can't stress this enough: make sure you choose wisely when it comes to love. Your beloved has to understand how important your writing is to you. If you wind up with someone who doesn't take you seriously as a writer, there's going to be trouble.
10. BE KIND TO YOURSELF: This, above all, is the most important gift you can give yourself. Writers seem to be good at beating ourselves up (myself included). My writing isn't good enough, I don't do it often enough, I'm not writing in the right form, my work isn't important, I'm a hack, etc etc. Sound familiar? Try to get the critic in your head to shut up. See if you can find a nurturing voice (the Goddess? your best friend? your mother?) to replace the critic and praise you daily. Write yourself a pep talk, a love letter, a positive review. Tuck it in an envelope and give it to a friend to mail to you at some point in the future as a surprise. Look in the mirror every morning and say, "I am a writer" to your gorgeous reflection. Pat yourself on the back for being brave enough to create something out of nothing. It's your letter to the world, as Emily Dickinson said. And those of us lucky enough to read your work are all the richer for it.

Posted on 21 November 2014
We've previously talked about how the Donghu survived being conquered by their enemies by reforming under different names and identities. Sometimes it was, like with the Xiongnu, as a hidden minority inside the larger culture. But remember that the Donghu were horse-backed nomads, and geniuses as coordinated mobility.
When a Donghu tribe was defeated by an adversary, survivors could scatter like weeds to reform in new locations. And so even though the Donghu were overrun by the Xiongnu, elements of their society reformed nearby as the Xianbei in the north and the Wuhuan in the west. But they did not stop warring with the Xiongnu, and eventually the Xianbei defeated their ancient enemies.
With the Xiongnu on their knees, and after a period of conflict with the Wuhuan, the descendents of the Donghu reformed as the Xianbei Confederation. As befitted egalitarian Donghu principles, they elected their new leader, the great Khan known as Tanshihuai
Under Tanshihuai, the Xianbei made the Truth of their Donghu forebears the centerpiece of their society. And it made them powerful – and feared. Their southern neighbors, the Han Chinese, were especially uneasy, and in 177 AD they launched a massive attack against the Xianbei. 30,000 Han soldiers assaulted the Xianbei. Only 6,000 returned. It was a slaughter, and it cemented Tanshuhuai Khan as one of the most powerful men in the world. Xianbei was on the cusp of dominating the majority of Asia.
The rulers of the Han Dynasty, notoriously corrupt and willing to do anything to keep their grip on power, began looking for other ways to defeat their northern enemy. And while there's no definitely proof of their involvement, three short years later Tanshihuai Khan was mysteriously dead, supposedly due to sickness. And after his death, the Xianbei split into warring factions and did not threaten the Han again.
This pattern continued for centuries, with Donghu-affiliated tribes organizing into new dynasties that flourished until corrupting influences drove them apart. The cycle reached its apex when a young military commander from the Khamag Mongol Confederation named Temüjin used his study of Tanshihuai – and through him, Donghu principles and practices – to unite all the tribes of Mongolia into an empire that changed the entire course of world history. Of course, today we know Temüjin by the name he took when he ascended to power: Genghis Khan.
Students of the Donghu, once again we see the ebb and flow of victory and defeat, from reformation to disintegration. From this, learn one of the signal truths of the Donghu – the battle is never over. Even when you are alone and lost, each step you take into darkness only brings you closer to emerging back into the light.

Comparison of response surface methodology and artificial neural network for optimum levulinic acid production from glucose, empty fruit bunch and kenaf
Levulinic acid (LA) is one of the versatile chemicals that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were applied to optimise LA yield from glucose, empty fruit bunch (EFB) and kenaf. The effect of process variables namely reaction temperature, reaction time and acid concentration on LA production was investigated. Application of ANN for modelling technique was more reliable since better data fitting and prediction capabilities were obtained. Next, both biomass were pre–treated with 1–ethyl–3–methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid, [EMIM][Cl] to degrade the biomass and to observe its effect on the hydrolysis process. Thermal gravimetric analysis results revealed kenaf degraded to cellulose and hemicellulose more easily than EFB. Higher LA yield was obtained from both pre–treated samples, but the yield from kenaf (39.5 wt%) was more prevalent than EFB (31.6 wt%).

"Judicial activism" is simply a label that people use for Supreme Court decisions they do not like. That is the obvious conclusion to draw from a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on "judicial lawlessness" convened by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on July 23. The hearing was a response to the Supreme Court's decision declaring unconstitutional state laws prohibiting same-sex marriages.
Sen. Cruz, a graduate of Harvard Law School and a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist, stated: "Much to my great disappointment this past term, the court crossed a line and continued its long descent into lawlessness to a level that I believe demands action."
There is nothing new about politicians railing against what they perceive as judicial activism. President Franklin Roosevelt was so angry at the Supreme Court's invalidation of his New Deal programs that he asked Congress to expand the size of the Supreme Court to ensure a majority that would side with him. In 1968, a central theme of Richard Nixon's campaign for president was an attack on the Earl Warren Court and a promise to appoint justices committed to "law and order." In every presidential election since then, Republican candidates have campaigned against judicial activism.
The problem is that there is no definition of "judicial activism" or "judicial lawlessness." Sen. Cruz is angry that the unelected Supreme Court ruled that gay and lesbian couples have the right to marry, rather than leave this to the political process. But conservatives, as much as liberals, often are eager for courts to invalidate politically popular laws.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, it was the conservative majority of the Supreme Court that declared unconstitutional sections of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act and held that corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money in election campaigns. Not long after the decision, in the summer of 2010, I debated Ted Cruz, and he strongly supported the court's decision and expressed no concern about it being judicial lawlessness to strike down a statute that was overwhelmingly passed by Congress.
In Shelby County, Ala. v. Holder, the conservatives on the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that Congress had passed almost unanimously. It is the conservatives on the court, in cases such as District of Columbia v. Heller, who have declared unconstitutional long-standing local ordinances prohibiting ownership and possession of handguns. The conservatives on the Court also repeatedly have struck down affirmative action programs that had been adopted by elected and appointed government boards.
In none of these areas do conservatives complain about judicial activism even though the court is overturning choices of the democratic process. Of course, liberals have their areas where they want courts to strike down laws, such as those denying marriage equality, those putting an undue burden on the right to abortion, and those entailing government support for religion.
Both conservatives and liberals sometimes want courts to defer to the political process and sometimes to overrule it; their disagreement is over when. The other difference is that conservatives, much more than liberals, couch their objections in terms of "judicial activism."
The phrases "judicial activism" and "judicial lawlessness" have an obvious negative connotation, but all must agree that judicial activism is sometimes highly desirable. By any measure, Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 was a highly activist decision. The Supreme Court declared unconstitutional state laws throughout the country, and especially in the South, that required racial segregation in assigning students to public schools. The court overruled a 58-year-old precedent, Plessy v. Ferguson, which held that "separate but equal" was constitutional. The court in Brown ruled broadly that separate never can be equal in public education when it could have issued a narrower decision holding that the particular school systems were unequal.
No one today criticizes the desirability of the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. It is regarded as the epitome of the court serving its most important role in society.
Nor is Sen. Cruz's proposal, which he championed at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, for electoral review of Supreme Court justices worthy of serious consideration. The framers of the Constitution intentionally provided that federal court judges, including Supreme Court justices, would have life tenure unless impeached and would have salaries that cannot be diminished. This was to ensure judicial independence. Enforcement of the Constitution, including by the judges, should not be done to please the majority.
My conclusion is that charges of "judicial activism" and "judicial lawlessness" have no meaning. They are empty political posturing. It certainly is appropriate to argue about the desirability of particular judicial rulings and about when the courts should defer to the political process and when to overrule it. But labeling the decisions we don't like as "activist" serves no purpose.

So I was thinking (Again I know. And yes it is starting to hurt)
Us here, and in fact people all over the world are enjoying Avatar imensley at the moment
It's involving story and naturalist message have broken hearts all over the world. Currently it's the biggest
and best movie in the world. Everytime we see it we're immersed in the ultimate fantasy, able to escape our
lives for a short period to enjoy something truly fantastic. So. What about the cast?
All the feelings we get while watching Avatar. Do they feel it?
How can they when everytime they see it, they remember that day or how hard that scene was or see themselves
and get pulled back to reality? To involve us in this, they've made the sacrifice of not being able to enjoy it on the
level that we do. To me that seemes a tragedy.

Wendy Williams Net Worth $175 Million
Wendy Williams Hunter (born July 18, 1964), better known by her maiden name Wendy Williams, is an American media personality, celebrity and writer. She hosts a syndicated television talk show, "The Wendy Williams Show".
Prior to television, Williams was a "jolt jockette" on several radio shows. Williams has acquired notoriety for her on air spats with stars. She was the topic of the 2006 VH1 reality TV series called "The Wendy Williams Experience" which air events surrounding her radio show. She's written an autobiography and many other publications, and has created two product lines: an clothes line with QVC called Adorn by Wendy Williams as well as a wig line named Wendy Williams Hair World.
On July 14, 2008, Williams debuted her daytime talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, a 6-week test run on Fox owned-and-operated stations in NYC, Dallas, Detroit, and Los Angeles, throughout summer time of 2008. Fox Television Stations signed a deal with syndication business Debmar Mercury by the end of the evaluation to air the show on its station group starting in July 2009. Along with its broadcast syndication coverage, Black Entertainment Television (BET) picked up cable rights to The Wendy Williams Show. In February 2013, it had been declared that Williams and her husband and manager, Kevin, were found a reality television production firm, Wendy Williams Productions. That can create unscripted content, including reality television and game shows. Williams was an executive producer on the show Stars Undercover (2014).

Support for auditing anything on the desktop is not really functional. Dbus has no way of changing the auid correctly and everything passing through it would be attributed to root. The best way to straighten this all out would be getting the desktop through a Common Criteria certification so that all this would get addressed, but there has never been enough interest to do this. > If I should just be monitoring these via another facility, that may also > work.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a credible and feasible tool for researching a combustor, but appropriate Sub-Grid Scale (SGS) models must be adopted to gain the best performance from an LES. The Smagorinsky-Lilly (S-L) model, the Dynamic Smagorinsky-Lilly (Dynamic S-L) model, the Wall-Modelled LES (WMLES) model, and the Dynamic Kinetic Energy SGS model are used for large eddy simulation of the nonreacting flow in a Lean Direct Injection (LDI) combustor. The LES results were compared with the RANS results and with the experimental data, and they showed that all the LES results were more reasonable than the RANS results. Among these LES results, the WMLES model and the Dynamic Kinetic Energy SGS model showed the best performance. The Dynamic S-L model can also provide reasonable results, while the S-L model is not good enough. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Tooth shape parameters such as bottom clearance factor, addendum coefficient are important factors affecting the shape of fillet curve of gear root, and bending bearing abilities of gear root with different fillet curves are different. In order to acquire high bending bearing capacity and prolong the working life of gear, beginning with the processing and designing of the cutter of fillet curve, the cutting tool with single arc and the cutting tool with double arc are considered separately. Moreover, the mathematical model of gear fillet curves is built, and the computational model of folding section applied local stress of gear root is determined. The optimal variation range of bottom clearance factor and addendum coefficient of gear based on high bending bearing capacity under two fillet curves are investigated. Then the impact of addendum coefficient and bottom clearance factor on bending bearing capacity of gear root is analyzed and the theoretical analyses are validated by the finite element method. According to the research, choosing reasonable addendum coefficient and bottom clearance factor under specific fillet curve model can enhance bending bearing capacity of gear root largely, which provides theoretical foundation for the designing of gear with high bending strength.

In the study of the basic principle and work characteristics of interphase power controller (IPC) and static synchronous series compensator (SSSC), a new IPC based SSSC is proposed, in which SSSC is used to replace the phase shifting transformer of the traditional IPC to realize the phase shifting function of inductance branch and capacitance branch. The typical PI control is used to control the voltage source converter by changing the reference voltage and achieve the purpose of changing injected voltage, to change the phase shifting of IPC fast and continuously, thereby controlling the power flow of tie-line flexibly. Compared with conventional IPC, the improved IPC can improve the overvoltage problem, when the relative phase slippage between the power systems on both sides of the tie-line happens. The simulation of Matlab/Simulink verifies the improved IPC can make the power flow of tie-line under control completely and improve the overvoltage problem.

Conjugate simulations for the blade leading edge of two phase impingent cooling were carried out to enhance the heat transfer. The mist/steam cooling with jet impingement onto a concave surface was used to verify the accuracy of numerical simulation program. The Eulerian-Lagrangian particle tracking method was adopted to investigate the two-phase impingement cooling for blade leading edge. The effects of various parameters, such as mist ratio, mist diameter and mist-wall boundary conditions on the improvement of cooling performance were investigated. The results show that the largest average heat transfer enhancement coefficient increases from 1.67 to 4.94 with increasing mist ratio from 3% to 8%, and it decreases from 2.128 to 1.164 with increasing mist diameter from 5 μm to 20 μm. The rebound and rebound with break up boundary conditions show the better cooling performance than the trap and trap with break up boundary conditions. ©, 2015, Editorial Department of Journal of Propulsion Technology.

Numerical investigation is performed to simulate the tip leakage vortex (TLV) breakdown characteristics and its effect on leakage losses in the first-stage rotor blade of GE-E3 (Energy Efficient Engine) turbines at various tip clearances, by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with a standard k-ω two-equation turbulence model. The tip leakage vortex breakdown phenomenon and its dynamics are analyzed; so are the effects of tip clearance height on the tip leakage vortex structure and the vortex breakdown characteristics. Furthermore, the relationship between the tip leakage vortex breakdown and losses is investigated. Numerical results show that the turbine tip leakage vortex is unstable. When the tip leakage vortex has sufficient strength to overcome the entrainment of the tip passage vortex, and forms a complete vortex structure, the tip leakage vortex breakdown is initiated in the adverse-pressure region of the second half of the rotor blade, which leads to extra vortex breakdown losses. The tip clearance height has a great impact on the vortex breakdown location, and the tip leakage vortex tends to be relatively stable at large tip clearances. The tip mixing losses are divided into two stages marked by the tip leakage vortex breakdown. A lot of mixing losses occur after the tip leakage vortex breakdown, which is the main part of the tip mixing losses.

The International Council of Forest and Paper Associations (ICFPA) announced Jane Molony as its new president. Molony, Executive Director of the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA), will serve in this capacity for the next two years.
"Across the world, wood, paper and tissue products touch lives every day in ways that often go unnoticed. Without our industries' products, many people would not be able to teach, read or learn ; businesses would not be able to ship merchandise, or protect goods ; nor would people be able to improve their lives through the basics of personal hygiene. Forest and paper products also have a great environmental and economic story to tell. It is a story that has been proudly told by the ICFPA for 15 years. I am particularly honoured to take charge of this group of leaders," said Molony.
The ALLIMAND Group, designer and manufacturer of paper & nonwovens machines, reknowned for its continuous innovation strategy, won the order for the new paper machine for the production of the security paper required for the printing of Euro banknotes. This machine, which is currently being installed at the EUROPAFI mill in Vic-le-Comte (Puy-de-Dôme), a European public fiduciary center, will go into production at the end of 2017.
Can a recycled paper product be supplied inside a dispenser made with reclaimed materials ? Now it can : this is the successful case history presented by Lucart at Pulire, the largest professional cleaning industry trade show in Italy, a world-leading event in the sector held in Verona from 23rd to 25th May.
Thanks to the Fiberpack® project, the innovative and sustainable project developed in collaboration with Tetra Pak®, Lucart can now recycle 100% of the components of a beverage carton, allocating 74% of cellulose fibres to the production of recycled paper products and the remaining 26%, consisting of 22% polyethylene and 4% aluminium, to the production of AL.PE.®, a recovered material intended for industries that produce building materials, urban furniture elements and objects of everyday use. Lucart used this material to create a full range of washroom area dispensers, combining the concept of sustainability with the three key elements that are most in-demand on the market : manageability, design and reliability.
ANDRITZ has received an order from First Quality Tissue to supply a PrimeLineTAD tissue machine with complete stock preparation for its mill in Lock Haven, USA. Start-up is scheduled for 2019.
The TAD (Through-Air-Drying) tissue machine has a capacity of approximately 70,000 tons per year. The improved softness, absorbency, and bulk generated by the TAD technology give these products superiority over products made using conventional processes. ANDRITZ has supplied two TAD machines previously to First Quality Tissue's Lock Haven mill.
First Quality Tissue, which markets its products under the brand name "PlentyTM", is one of the leading private label producers worldwide of TAD premium quality tissue and towel products. It currently operates five tissue machines in the USA (two at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and three at Anderson, South Carolina).
As communicated earlier BillerudKorsnäs experienced a major breakdown in the digester in the semi-chemical pulp production line in Gruvön. The problem has now been resolved. The pulp line and the fluting machine PM6 is back in production.
The impact on EBITDA for the breakdown is estimated to approximately SEK 25 million after compensation from insurance.
"The impact of the breakdown could be limited thanks to a very efficient work in the mill, and we could start up production relatively quickly. Now we have to limit the indirect damage in the form of missing deliveries and customer relations," says Per Lindberg, CEO of BillerudKorsnäs.
Metsä Board, the leading European producer of premium fresh fibre paperboards and part of Metsä Group, has achieved the Gold level rating by EcoVadis for its approach to sustainability. Overall Metsä Board was ranked in the top 1% of suppliers assessed by EcoVadis across all categories.
During the summer, Södra is to organise nine different forestry youth camps. These are for intermediate-level school children who will learn more about what the forest has to offer for both people and society.
During the two to three days of the youth camp, children will learn about both nature conservation and which products you can make from the forest, as well as how to drive a forest machine and learn various survival tips. Classic camp activities are also included in the programme, such as swimming and barbecuing.
"The forest is so important for Swedish society. Despite this, there are still many people who know very little about it. We hope this initiative will not only increase knowledge about the forest but also build a stronger relationship with Sweden's forest," said Martina Gustafsson, HR Manager at Södra Skog.

The European paper recycling value chain has already made significant strides on the paper recycling rate in the EU having reached a near theoretical maximum of 71.5% in 2015. The industry is now seeking to make another move forward with an enhanced rate of 74% by 2020 building on the progress achieved since 2000 by preceding European Declarations on Paper Recycling.
The International Council of Forest and Paper Associations (ICFPA) has announced the winners of the Blue Sky Young Researchers and Innovation Award, a global award that aims to stimulate interest by young researchers carrying out projects in a wide range of activities relevant to forest-based science, products as well as process improvements or other innovation throughout the value chain.
FEFCO welcomes the European Parliament's resolution on "Resource efficiency : reducing food waste, improving food safety", adopted on 16 May 2017.
The initiative, led by rapporteur MEP Biljana Borzan (S&D, Hungary), calls for a 50% reduction of food waste by 2030 and improving the information to consumers. It is estimated that every year around 88 million tonnes of food is wasted in the EU, along with the associated environmental impact and resources used.
Packaging prevents food waste. The resolution emphasises the positive contribution of packaging materials and solutions to reduce food waste along the supply chain. `For years, the corrugated packaging industry has been developing packaging and logistics solutions to preserve the quality and hygiene of food. We are constantly refining our packaging to make it fit for purpose and satisfy the needs of the products and consumers" says Angelika Christ, FEFCO Secretary General. The resolution recognises that recyclable packaging obtained from renewable resources can also contribute to resource efficiency and the Circular Economy ambition.
