waste heat solution Applications
Industrial energy and heat recovery solutions
Rising fuel and electric costs, along with global warming concerns have changed the way industrial facilities regard energy consumption. Process equipment and air pollution control systems installed several years ago may not reflect the new energy conscious designs available today. We recommend analyzing these systems periodically to determine energy reduction opportunities. Recovering waste heat is one of the easiest and most utilized means of reducing energy demands at industrial facilities.

Hazardous waste treatment solutions for oil and gas industry
There are a wide amount of applications for our VacuDry® process within the oil and gas industry. A large variety of wastes and by-products that are generated in the oil & gas production chain can be treated effectively and sustainably. In past decades, numerous thermal desorption processes have been implemented worldwide, using a variety of heating chamber designs to separate hydrocarbons from the mineral solids. Such standard TDUs work under atmospheric pressure which can lead to safety risks, high energy consumption, larger emissions and limited flexibility regarding altering feed materials. Due to its unique design, the complications outlined above are avoided throughout the VacuDry® process. When it comes to treating standard oily wastes, mercury-containing waste streams, NORM, and especially for the recovery of highly valuable drilling fluids from drill cuttings; our vacuum thermal desorption process (i.e. vacuum distillation) is economically unbeatable.

Solutions for the food & beverages industry
Food waste in general has a high energy density. This results in high yields when producing biogas through anaerobic treatment. Biogas is a very flexible energy product with proven capabilities in the power, transportation, and heat demanding sectors. In this sector, anaerobic digestion offers significant cost advantages over traditional disposal methods. By upgrading the biogas into natural gas using a DMT Environmental Technology system, a solid business case with an interesting return on investment is assured.

Separation solutions for food rendering industry
Rendering is a process that converts waste animal tissue into stable, value-added materials. Edible rendering processes are basically meat processing operations and produce lard or edible tallow for use in food products. Edible rendering is generally carried out in a continuous process at low temperature (less than the boiling point of water). The process usually consists of finely chopping the edible fat materials (generally fat trimmings from meat cuts), heating them with or without added steam, and then carrying out two or more stages of centrifugal separation. The first stage separates the liquid water and fat mixture from the solids. The second stage further separates the fat from the water.

I found a pic of Godzilla sitting on a building chair now I cant find it anywhere and idk what its called!
Godzilla: FEMUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When he was prying Femuto's jaws open, my mind had Goji say "I've had enough of this shit!"
*blasts atomic breath down Femuto's throat*
*blasts atomic breath down Femuto's throat*
To me I had more the TF2 Spy's kill lines like "I'm going to gut you like a Cornish Game Hen".
Godzila: STUPID HUMANS!!!!
Not his fault all those buildings are so easy to break.
I have to say again that you should totally be an artist at G-fest next year. Your G-art is some of the best I've ever seen. And you can draw a great Godzilla/Mothra.
/u\ thank you…. i highly doubt it'll happen though, logistically and confidence-wise xD
Bro I consider your art to be among the best there is, konggodamera is right you should be an artist at G-fest
I wish there was more art depicting the connection between him and Ford Brody. The two seem to mirror eachother at times.
Same, tbh.
Your digital art skills are amazing!
Oh, he's pissed off.
Cool picture
Cool picture
In other words. "That hurt!!"
Gracious, you're just as good as Matt Frank!
If they were to do a comic series for the Legendary Godzilla universe, they should definitely hire you as the artist!
ohmygosh i wouldn't say that /u\
"Welp, that's enough bullshit for today. Time for a cold one."
I wondered what happened.

Although both programs are designed to assist disabled individuals, you need to know the differences between the benefits and eligibility requirements for SSI and SSDI, in order to know whether you qualify to receive either. An attorney experienced in Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance law can help you at any phase of the application or appeal process.
Here is a general summary of the two rather complex Social Security Administration programs:
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is available to those who are disabled, blind, or over age 65. Eligibility is based on need and requires applicants to have very limited resources (under $2,000 per individual applicant, exclusive of the value of the home). There are also strict income requirements for those who work, though SSI is also available to those who have not worked or paid into the Social Security system. The need-based benefit is standard (currently $733 for individuals and $1,100 for couples) but may be reduced if the individuals' need is reduced (such as in cases where there is some income being earned). Many states add a supplemental SSI payment in addition to the standard federal payment. SSI requires a by-phone or in-person application at the local Social Security office.
In contrast, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is available to those with a proven disability, which is essentially defined as a medical condition expected to last more than a year or result in death. In addition to the disability, eligibility is based on the applicant's work record, not on need, just like Social Security Retirement benefits. So applicants must have a work history and must satisfy minimum work requirements in terms of their age and number of years worked at the time of the disability. Applicants can be subject to close scrutiny of work history, medical records, and their ability to perform any kind of different work. Because benefits are based on the work history, the amount varies greatly case-by-case and is calculated based on a specific weighted formula. There is also an earnings threshold of $1,130/month currently, so if you are still able to work and earn more than that, you're not considered to be "disabled". You can apply for SSDI by using an online application.
If you or a loved one are disabled and need help navigating the complex process of SSI or SSDI applications or appeals, the Law Firm of Peña & Bromberg, PLLC can help. We serve clients throughout Central Valley California, including San Francisco Bay, Oakland, Bakersfield, Madera, Stockton, Fresno, Sacramento, and Modesto as well as nationwide.

no sleep for the
Grace felt that she was constantly stressed these days. Of course, her life had been stressful from the moment Le Cirque Noir began, but it had never been like this. There had never been someone else grabbing at power, someone else getting close to Sombre. There had never been anyone else close to Sombre before Lucifer arrived.@Lorne Carter
Being this stressed made her distracted. She should have been paying attention to rehearsals, watching everyone's practice with nit-picking detail, making everything as perfect as it could be. But she was spending more time in her head, more time wondering what happened between Sombre and Lucifer during their meetings.
Grace was supposed to be watching the aerialists, and she finally began to just as they were finishing. She blinked a few times before giving a curt nod. "That looked great," she said, absently. She trusted her performers. She didn't really feel the need to breathe down their necks, but at the same time–
"Could you run through it again?" she asked, though there was enough of a tone in her voice to imply it wasn't exactly a question.
Suddenly her tone shifted and she requested the start again. In any other situation this would be the exact moment where Lorne's attitude got the best of him, after working so hard only to be absently acknowledged before being made to begin again. Instead he was flooded with another rush of concerns; So it had been bad. Or maybe it was just little things? Was it him?
He jumped to attention before letting his breath catch up and was already on his mark as everyone began to move to their places. The routines began again, and he pushed himself once more, attempting to focus on every action, muscle and movement, as to not disappoint. And as he got wrapped up in concern, his movements became a bit too stiff. He was losing the necessary fluidity needed as he focused too hard on not messing up. The irony was not lost on him as he failed to complete a simple maneuver he had done countless times before.
no sleep for the
Grace paid a bit more attention to the routine this time, making a few notes in a small book, mostly lighting cues that needed adjusting, but also a few things the performers might need to work on, some suggestions for the acrobats' director.
"Thank you, everyone," she said, a hollow pleasantness ringing in her voice. She was doing what she could to keep the whole circus from seeing how stressed she was, how badly all of this mess with Lucifer and Sombre was effecting her. She would keep a smile on her face and wave the performers off to do what they liked before that evening's performance. Just as Lorne was passing her, she reached out, calling, "Lorne?" When he looked at her she asked, "Could you wait a moment?" She smiled politely and waited, then walked over to him.
She place a hand on his shoulder, making eye contact with the performer. "Are you alright? You seemed a bit off your mark just then." She didn't mean to be insulting, and she always tried to take care of her performers, but it was especially important now. None of the shows, not a single act in the Spec Show could have a single flaw.
He slowly moved over to her, not particularly excited about the conversation. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he was unsure whether it was comforting or intimidating. He settled on both as he matched her gaze. She addressed his mistakes and he felt his usual defensive attitude show on his face, but the words caught in his throat. He wondered how overwhelming these rehearsals were becoming for her and what it is she'd actually been dealing with behind closed doors. He swallowed and dropped his head a bit, "I'll be sure to practice that section with Graham." his tone was somewhere between disappointed and irritated, but it was almost entirely aimed at himself. Something about grace turned him back into the 16 year old boy who couldn't stick a landing, and he hated that.
no sleep for the
Grace would have been disappointed, to say the least, to hear that the performers were actually worrying about her. She worried about them, often, whether it was in regards to their acts or their personal lives, but she never really thought of them worrying about her. She was, for all intents and purposes, their boss, and they had no reason to waste their time with concern for her. She was able to take care of herself.
Or she was supposed to be, anyway.
Lately, of course, with Lucifer and all that he was trying to change, she had found herself less and less able to to hold it together, and she felt her composure was beginning to falter.
She would hate to know that he could see that, even the least bit.
"Of course," she said, her smile staying softly on her lips. She didn't worry that Lorne wouldn't work hard. He was one of the more dedicated performers, and that was among a group that was overall more dedicated than much of the circus.
"If you need a break, or some time off though, you know you can always ask, right?" She never wanted to overwork anyone, aside from herself. She knew an exhausted performer was just as bad as one who hadn't rehearsed at all, and she allowed them to take breaks from time to time, so long as the show could carry on without them.
Perhaps there was a part of her that hoped Lorne would tell her that no, he was fine, but she could take a break, if she wanted–if she needed.

Step 2Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate. Pat dry with paper towel. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to a bowl. Reserve the marinade.
Step 3Preheat oven to 160°C. Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, for 6 minutes or until light golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a large heatproof bowl.
Step 4Add one-quarter of the beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Transfer to the bowl. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining oil and beef, reheating the pan between batches.

Freezer tip: Set aside in the pan to cool completely. Transfer the beef mixture to an airtight container. Label, date and freeze for up to three months. Place in the fridge overnight or until thawed. Reheat in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Tip: Tougher budget casserole cuts, such as chuck or gravy beef, are ideal for slow cooking. Make this recipe one day ahead to develop the flavour. Store in the fridge. Skim off any fat on the surface, then reheat.

Singgih Susilo Kartono is a Balinese designer who founded Magno, an auto-editor brand specialized in small daily use objects made with high quality craftsmanship.
Born and raised in Kandangan village in Central Java, Indonesia; he studied design overseas but decided to come back to his roots and try to improve the quality of life of his peers with the knowledge he gained.
He then created Magno, his own design brand. « Magno » stands for « magnify » and « G » was added to its logo because Singgih thinks it is an interesting shape by its sculptural aspect.
Therefore, Magno is more than a brand, it's a way of thinking, looking through a magnifying glass that allows you to see the details and appreciate their beauty.
Singgih believes that the customer should cultivate a strong relationship with the objects he possesses as they are part of his life.
He is fighting against the consumption behavior that our society has created. That's the reason why he has turned towards natural materials to create his products, wood especially.
The more the customer appreciates the history of the object the more he tends to take care of it; which in the end – in Singgih's mind- will help minimizing waste.
His goal is to raise awareness about the nature's sensitivity just as it was custom in the past.
In his designs he tends to lessen the detail aspects so that the main features remain the function and the beauty of the materials used.
Wood is both strong and weak, rough and soft, has advantages and limits that are the 'star' of a manufactured object well designed.
Singgih designed small objects that only require a small amount of wood to manufacture. He feels responsible for the nature and insists on replanting the equivalent of each tree used in his workshops.
Furthermore, he feels like design is a knowledge that can be used as a survival weapon and can help isolated areas to develop economical perspectives for locals.
He realized it when he came back to his hometown and saw the despair of his peers, the unknown potential for high quality of craftsmen and, an easy access to a noble material.
His most iconic piece is the wooden radio. The first edition, MiKRO, was designed in 2011.
The idea behind it was to conceive a radio that would mimic an old one.
The simplicity of the design and the exclusive use of wood create a feeling of antiquity, uniqueness and esteem of the object that you should cherish.
One single radio takes 16 hours for the craftsman to make.
It is made out of 2 types of wood : the dark one being Sonokeling and the pale one is Pine.
This radio won many awards such as the Brit Design Award in the United Kingdom, The Design Plus award in Germany, Good Design Award in Japan, International Design Resource award in the United States and, the Indonesia Good Design Selection Award in 2005.
These radios are sold by 'wooden-radio.com', a german-based office who works hand-in-hand with Magno to develop the 'green economy and ecodesign' asset of his company.

On DT, I was selling 40-50 images every month with a limited portfolio. I had roughly the same portfolio on the other sites. On 11 of the other sites, I had zero sales. On two of the other sites, I had a couple images sold every month.
I quickly learned, for my type of images, they were selling much better on DT; if I was exclusive, maybe they would sell even better because I would be featured higher in searches. Problem is: all the sites had contracts, some for a short time and some for a longer period. It took six months to get all the contracts cancelled so that I could apply for exclusive status on DT. Upon becoming exclusive with DT, Immediately, my account balance jumped because of the upload bonus. Time will tell if my sales increase but my RPD will certainly increase.
Over the past six months, I lost at least $200 because I was not exclusive with DT. I also lost hundreds of hours and many dollars in internet fees uploading to other sites.
I like the incentive of the upload bonus. This encourages me to carry my camera with me to everyday locations; obtaining photos of street scenes or local buildings. Getting quality wildlife images, at times, takes hundreds of hours of waiting for a couple decent images. Local buildings take just a few moments of time to click the shutter and I receive 20 cents for each acceptance. I like watching my account balance inch up everytime my files are reviewed; it inspires me to work harder.
What is my advice for new comers and established DT contributors; look seriously at your portfolio. Think carefully at how much time you have to contribute to uploading images. Maybe it is better to go exclusive now; you can always change at a later date once your portfolio gets so large you need to hire staff to do the uploading, keywording, processing, etc.

The Immortal Who Loved Me(Argeneau, book 21)(49) by Lynsay Sands
"It has to be," Stephanie protested, scowling at Sherry as if she were deliberately remembering it all wrong and confusing her on purpose.
"I am afraid Lucian is right," Drina said, sounding weary. "I have seen this before. What you are seeing is the result of someone trying to make her see something that wasn't there."
"What?" Stephanie asked, turning to peer at Drina.
"Whoever knocked on that dressing room door wanted Sherry to think it was Leo," Drina explained. "But she's built up that resistance to mind control. It didn't work properly." Drina grimaced and glanced to Sherry again, adding, "I suspect he realized that and tried to erase it altogether. Only that didn't work fully either, which is why we can read it from your memory despite it being veiled from you. The attempt to bury it is probably why you fainted, though." She glanced to Lucian and admitted, "I would have realized that the first time I picked up on the memory, but I didn't look hard enough. I saw Leo, and it was what I expected, so I didn't trouble myself over the fact that the image was garbled. I am sorry, Uncle. I let you down and did exactly what they wanted."
"What who wanted?" Sherry asked with a frown.
"Whoever wanted us to think Leo was at the mall," Drina explained grimly.
"Why would someone want that?" she asked with confusion, and then before anyone could answer, she added, "And this might be a good thing. It could help us narrow down who it might be. There can't be that many people who know about Leo and what he looks like, right?"
Stephanie snorted at the question. "Everyone knows that he's being hunted and what he looks like. He's been the Blood Bag Boy for months now."
"The Blood Bag Boy?" Sherry asked with confusion.
"Yeah," the girl said dryly. "You know how they used to put missing kids' pictures on milk cartons?"
Sherry nodded.
"Well, it's kind of like that," Stephanie announced. "Only it's Leo's face glued on blood bags from the blood bank. Every immortal orders blood, and so every immortal has seen his picture, knows he's Immortal Enemy Number One, and knows they are to call if they see him in their vicinity."
"Oh," Sherry murmured with disappointment.
"The problem is, Leo has now become a handy go-to-guy whenever there's trouble," Lucian explained. "He's a bad guy we know, so the first suspect."
Harper nodded. "He's become the bloody bogeyman. Something happens, it must be Leonius."
"We need to take care of the bastard," Bricker said with a shake of his head.
Lucian merely grunted and then shrugged. "That is not the problem here, though."
"What problem?" Stephanie asked with a frown. "This is good news. It means Leo didn't find us. We can go back to Port Henry."
"You can," Lucian said quietly.
Stephanie frowned. "And Sherry and Basil too, right?"
Lucian merely shook his head.
"Wait," Sherry said with a frown. "I don't understand. Why would anyone want me to think Leo was in London?"
"My guess would be they knew it would put everyone in a panic and make us bring you back here," Harper said. "Which is exactly what we did."
"So someone wanted me out of Port Henry?" she asked with confusion. "Why? I don't even know anyone there."
"It doesn't have to be that someone wanted you out of Port Henry. It could be that whoever it was wanted you back in Toronto."
"Isn't it the same thing?" she asked.
There was silence, and then Lucian asked, "Who is the immortal in your life?"
"Basil," Sherry answered promptly, and then added, "And the rest of you, I guess."
Lucian shook his head. "Your resistance to being read and controlled suggests long-term exposure to an immortal, or perhaps more than one."
"How long would it take for a mortal to build up that kind of resistance?" Bricker asked curiously.
"At least twenty years," Drina murmured, eyeing Sherry curiously.
She immediately shook her head. "There is no way I have had an immortal in my life for twenty years without my knowing. You guys don't age. I'd notice that."
"Hair dye, older clothes, maybe some padding and a little makeup could make it appear like they were aging," Drina said quietly.
"Seriously?" Sherry asked with surprise.
Drina nodded. "It will be someone you spend a lot of time with. Almost daily for twenty years, I should think. They . . ." Her voice trailed off when Sherry began to shake her head again.
"You can stop there. I haven't had anyone in my life for that long."
"No one?" Basil asked with a frown.
"Well, my mother was around for my first twenty-nine years, but she died three years ago of a heart attack. Your people wouldn't die of a heart attack."
"It's not your mother. If your mother was immortal, you would be too. It's passed on through the mother's blood."
"Unless her mother was turned after Sherry was born," Drina pointed out.
Sherry shifted impatiently. "Hello. Heart attack. Dead. You people only die by decapitation and fire, from what I understand."
"Did your mother have a partner?" Drina asked.
"Just my father. She never dated after they split up."
"No one?"
Sherry started to shake her head, but then hesitated.
"Who is Uncle Al?" Lucian asked sharply, apparently picking up on the thought that had crossed her mind unspoken. "Your father's brother?"
Sherry shook her head. "No. He wasn't really an uncle. He was a family friend. He used to spend a lot of time with us, and he was very supportive of Mom when she and Dad split." She shrugged. "For a while I thought they might start dating or something, but nothing came of it."
"You're sure about that?" Basil asked, and pointed out, "They might not have told you they were dating."
"No. They didn't date," Sherry assured them. "I would have known. Besides, he wasn't in my life that long. He came around after my brother Danny died, when I was seven. As I said, he wasn't really an uncle. By the time I started university he was little more than a fond memory."

A few years ago I delivered a major customer service training program to a large company in the Midwest.
When the going got rough, as it always seems to do when you're trying to introduce sweeping change to hundreds of workers, one of my contacts at the company, in exasperation, asked:
"Why can't you just give us a prize and go away?"
It seems the same service unit I was struggling to fix had the misfortune to have been handed a "Best in Service" award by an industry survey company, the previous year.
From that point forward, many of the workers were simply ineducable. They thought they knew everything, were already wonderful, and couldn't really advance. Moreover, they didn't want to get any better at what they did for a living.
At my own expense I flew to New England to interview the president of the company that issued the award to that flawed team. Along with a few of his key associates, we had lunch and at one very relaxed moment I asked him: "What would happen if your company stopped issuing customer service awards?"
He looked at me to check my sanity and then said, barely suppressing a laugh, "Why we'd go broke."
I had him, and I knew it.
Then, I asked: "So, you're really in the PRIZE business even more than the survey research business, right?""
Knowing he was cornered, he forced a smile and conceded, "I guess we are."
I offer this elaborate tale to put a question to you, especially if you own or belong to a martial arts dojo.
Are you in the martial arts training field or in the "belt business?" And what would happen if you decided to eliminate the various belt ranks, which range in most cases from white to black?
Would you go broke as well?
I happen to believe the belt system of promotion, while exceedingly popular in the United States and in many countries, is fundamentally flawed and it, too, leads people to aim at the prize instead of the underlying capabilities that the prizes, in this case the belts, signify.
This isn't sour grapes. After eight arduous and sacrificial years, I was awarded my black belt in kenpo karate.
But many aspects of the belt-chase were counterproductive, and if I had it to do over again, I doubt I'd join a dojo that uses this system of recognition and advancement. As I pointed out in a recent article:
"Belts make the trainee impatient and greedy for the next promotion, for acquiring the next color in the martial arts rainbow. Belts spawn competition among peers to become the first to test for the next higher level, causing a certain amount of strife, accusations of favoritism or toadyism, and occasionally injuries as contestants vie for increasingly distinguished and relatively unpopulated rungs on the status ladder.
"You might find it interesting to note, in the last paragraph I alluded to, arguably six of The Seven Deadly Sins, articulated in the Bible and by various theologians through time, including Pope St. Gregory and Buddha. These are vices that the sages have said mortals are wise to avoid indulging: Pride, Greed, Envy,Wrath/Anger. Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. It makes you wonder if the Enlightened One would feel comfortable meditating under the bodhi tree with a martial arts sash tied around his waist!"
Perhaps getting rid of the belt system would leave only those students that genuinely want to learn and teachers that want to teach. Instead of focusing inordinately on symbols of achievement, perhaps we could dedicate ourselves to the real thing.

The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SCVNGR (Boston, MA) in March 2010.
They wanted you to create a game for them- which I did.
I parked in a paid lot as I was instructed to. When I got to the office there was no one at the front desk- I had to walk around calling, "Hello?" I finally located someone who located another person who finally found who I needed to talk to.
I waited 35 minutes for her.
Interviewed with two kids who asked a total of 2 nonsense questions (truly nonsensical - like "How short to New York is long?") as they supressed giggles.
I left and paid my hefty parking fee.
They kept my game idea and didn't call back.
