Introducing- Bridge Road Brewers- WINE
At Bridge Road Brewers we have always been interested in trying new ideas and challenging pre-conceptions, recently we teamed up with another local, Chris Catlow, of Sentio wines to try something new for Bridge Road Brewers, wine-making. The merits of yeast and it's often (in our opinion) underrated influence on flavour profile are always top of the tree when we discuss wine and beer with local winemakers. Chris is a big fan of the amazing lambic beers of Cantillon and doesn't mind the stuff we make here in Beechworth. He jumped at the chance to work on our idea of making a Chardonnay using 100% Brettanomyces. A wine to challenge the preconceptions of Brettanomyces and the way it influences wine flavour. It is firmly our belief that with the right conditions Brettanomyces is a positive part of many great wines, and in fact is probably present and not detected in many wild fermentations throughout many well known wines.
We deliberately set about to make a simple table wine that could be a platform for the Brettanomyces, fermented in stainless, cold conditioned for a couple of months, and bottled unfiltered.
The result:
In our mind; mission accomplished, we're pretty certain this wine will provoke some interesting thoughts and discussion about Brettanomyces. The effectiveness of the Brett to undertake primary fermentation without the associated spoilage compounds is clear. This wine is exceptionally dry, and although the flavour profile is very different than one would normally expect, is free from any horse blanket, donkeys bum, goats back or any other creative barnyard aromas you can imagine.

Please know that these shirts were so well received in our school!!! Our Kindness Club wore these yesterday to promote awareness for Earth Day and to complete their after school service project to clean up our parking lots and school grounds.
The T-shirts were such an awesome deal - a very important factor for most of our students to be able to afford them and for us to help the ones who couldn't! We just wanted to thank you so much for a quality product with great affordability as well! Monica C., Virginia -- April 23, 2019
I just wanted to send a note expressing my appreciation for the Shared Order option. As a teacher handling money can be cumbersome, and then having to get reimbursed from the school after placing my order.

William B., North Carolina -- March 21, 2019

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your wonderful staff for the beautiful Earth Day tee shirts. Our entire staff wore them, and they really made a great impression on the kids on many levels. Firstly, the kids saw that all of us are very concerned wtih care & respect for the Earth. Secondly, they were very impressed by the fact that we all stuck together to show our support. This was an excellent example of solidarity and cohesiveness between staff members. Thank you for that.
I would also like to thank you on a personal level. I was the person who organized this, and when you "sell" an idea and order, sight unseen, you really hope the merchandise lives up to your expectations. These shirts not only met my expectations, but surpassed them. They were beautiful and everyone was very pleased. I would like to, once again, thank all the people responsible for such beautiful work. Ms. L. P., New York -- May 13, 2010

Our campus's Green Committee ordered your tee-shirts from your amazing promotional deal. I just wanted you to know that everyone here LOVES them! They are just as cute in person as they were in the flier. In fact, we now have other people who wish they had ordered one when they had the chance. The quality is as good as you promised and the processing and shipping times were very quick. We have only compliments for your company and your product.
I also wanted to compliment the woman who took our order over the phone. She was patient, well informed and made a great suggestion when I realized our school's name would not fit on one line.
The next time we consider ordering tee-shirts your company will be at the top of our list.
Thank you from a satisfied customer.
Meg H., California -- April 10, 2009
Our t-shirt arrived yesterday and we are very satisfied. We have ordered shirts before and have always been given good service and prompt attention to any issues that came up.

I appreciate the service we have experienced and will be a customer with a good recommendation to anyone that asks. Thanks for all your help. Chuck B., Oklahoma -- April 2, 2009

Columbus, Ohio Kansas University's women's golf team ended its regular season with a ninth-place finish Sunday in the Lady Buckeye Invitational Sunday after shooting a three-round total 950 over two days in Columbus.
The Jayhawks now will wait to find out their seeding for the Big 12 Championships next weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
"We kind of got off to a rough start and never recovered," KU coach Erin O'Neil said. "But a top-10 finish is never bad when you are playing in a field like this. We will just have to regroup and get ready for the Big 12 next week."
Kansas shot a 327 Sunday, dropping one spot in the standings to finish in a tie for ninth place with Penn State. Emily Powers shot a team-low 235 over three rounds to finish tied for 33rd individually. Rounding out the lineup for KU were Sydney Wilson (74-81-81—236, t37), Meghna Bal (79-80-83—242, t56), Meghan Gockel (82-79-83—244, t60) and Grace Thiry (79-86-80—245, t62nd). Jennifer Clark (81-80-84—245, t62nd) competed as an individual for the Jayhawks.

Clinical Tests of Estrogen Injections on Women with Abnormal Menstrual Cycles During the Early 1920s by Jean Paul Pratt and Edgar Allen
In the early twentieth century US, Jean Paul Pratt and Edgar Allen conducted clinical experiments on women who had abnormal menstrual cycles. During the clinical tests, researchers injected the hormone estrogen into their patients to alleviate their menstrual ailments, which ranged from irregular cycles to natural menopause. The hormone estrogen plays a prominent role in the menstrual cycle by signaling the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) to thicken in preparation for possible pregnancy.

Pope Gregory XIV (1535-1591)
Pope Gregory XIV, born Nicolo Sfondrati, reversed the bull of Pope Sixtus V, Effraenatum, under which an abortion at any time of gestation can be punished by excommunication. He supported the Aristotelian distinction between an "animated" and "unanimated" fetus, making abortion of an unanimated fetus punishable by lesser means.

Music with a Capital "M"
An Interview with Ethan Iverson of the Bad Plus
By: Noah Harrison
The Bad Plus may not always play by the rules, but that doesn't mean they haven't come up with their own rules.
The limber, Minneapolis-born trio of bassist, drummer, and pianist have played on the same stage for 15 years, and while they've undeniably grown as instrumentalists, many things have remained constant. Since their inception, Ethan, drummer Dave King, and bassist Reid Anderson have tackled an eclectic mix of cover songs and original compositions.
Their fascination with pop by way of jazz all started at an early gig when, for lack of a set's worth original material, they intuitively opted to play, not standards, but rather '90s anthem 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Though as Ethan stresses, capturing the spirit of the original piece is hardly their main concern. The Bad Plus' focus is to deconstruct and reassemble familiar musical artifacts from their own perspective. So don't mistake them for no house band.
In the past, they've taken on Bowie, Blondie, Radiohead, Rush, and'¦ Igor Stravinsky? In 2014, we spoke with the band about their complete overhaul of the revolutionary and riot-inciting, Rite of Spring, one of their most ambitious projects to date. Most recently, the Bad Plus recorded It's Hard, an album exclusively of covers, featuring reworked classics by Prince and Ornette Coleman, among others.

I remember summers on the farm in Ancramdale NY.
On the farm I learned everything I ever needed to know about life, death, love, terror and courage.
I saw a horse birthing a colt, feet first. I saw a surgeon slash open one of a cow's four stomachs, heard the blood splash onto the concrete floor, smelled the stink of gastric air that rushed out, cringed as the gloved arm of the surgeon plunged in and pulled out a piece of hardware the cow had swallowed. God knew how. The cow ate during the procedure.
I rode my pony bareback into the swimming hole, buried my face in his mane and felt safe as large water rats sluiced by. My friend and I on our ponies herded the cows back to the barn to be milked each evening. One cow was missing. We found her and had to watch her sink to her death in quick mud, the last bellow, the last reach of one nostril snatching at life as it disappeared—while we stood by helpless.
There were rats in the old farmhouse. We stuffed old newspapers into their large holes. Rats once chewed the flesh off a baby. The father a farmhand caught as many rats as he could and burned them alive nose down on a hot stove burner. He had to hear them scream like his baby had before she died.
Even sex. The bull mounted the cow and hopped around while she bellowed—then she resumed eating. My mother told me it was the way they made babies, that she and Daddy did that too, and that it was the most beautiful thing two people could do. There's only so much a six year old's imagination can bear.
I learned the freedom of wind in my hair, dirt on my face, and bare feet pounding and toughening on dirt roads. I learned that cornfields whisper and, like Godde, hold all secrets sacred.
Once I watched my father, along with Farmer Kurt and another hand, herd a raging bull onto the back of a truck using pitchforks. It wasn't enough protection. What if the bull killed my Daddy? I knew what bulls could do. My father was city not country. This wasn't something he knew about. I saw the fear creep into his eyes. But he stuck it out. He did his brave part. I was proud of him.
What I remember most though was how much I loved him for his answer to my question, "Daddy were you afraid?" He said, "Yes I was, my darling." Then he hugged me and planted a kiss on my forehead. My Daddy, so brave and so scared all at once. A hero.
Isn't that what Memorial Day is all about?

An album that is undeniably pretty, ominously dark, batshit insane and a hell of a lot of fun- all at the same time.
In an interview with NME earlier this year, Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan boldly claimed that, along with his band, Arctic Monkeys and The Libertines were all that remained from the previous era of British indie bands of the previous decade. With no legitimate heir to this "Great" British indie throne, Meighan declared that guitar music as a whole was "in the abyss". Really? I'm sure a band like Wolf Alice would certainly disagree. In case you weren't fully aware, Wolf Alice are a 4 piece band originating from Camden, who have enjoyed something of a meteoric rise in recent years- mostly due to their dazzling 2015 debut: My Love is Cool. Not only did this album showcase their refreshing sound, pooling influence from everywhere between the ethereal soundscapes of Cocteau Twins to the crunching 90s alt-rock of The Cranberries, it also served as a convictive statement from the band: Wolf Alice were headed straight to the top as one of the best bands in the country, on their own terms. In one sense, Meighan has every right to be afraid, a brief glance beyond the rose-tinted glasses would spell horror- as the wave of early-mid '00s UK indie rock that Kasabian and their contemporaries led has now diluted to the point that mediocre bands are making a career from ripping off of what came directly before them (I'm not naming any names)- but to write off the entirety of guitar music as doomed to the "abyss" is nothing short of ridiculous. When you look beyond the mundane and unoriginal, there is a bounty of talented, innovative bands striving to push their genre further and further, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest that Wolf Alice are leading the pack.
Fast forward some 2 years after an incredibly successful debut on both commercial and critical fronts (reaching number 2 in the UK album charts as well as picking up a Mercury Prize nomination), and anticipation was high to see how Wolf Alice would respond. Many UK bands of recent times could tell you of the curse of the "difficult second album" and how it meant their demise. It won't take long into your first listen of Visions of a Life that this band have no fears of this curse whatsoever. The opener 'Heavenward' is something of a love letter to '90s shoegaze artists like My Bloody Valentine, as frontman Ellie Rowsell almost whispers melodies across noisy, reverb-laden guitar chords. A few minutes later and this graceful moment of tranquillity is stamped out by the ferocity of the second track, 'Yuk Foo'. As the spoonerism in the song title may suggest, this song is a swift middle finger to pretty much everyone, from romantic interests to the expectations placed on the band. These brash lyrics are perfectly spat out, as Rowsell's whispers become maniacal shrieks. Pair them with a driving instrumental and this track remains as wildly entertaining as it was on the first listen. This sensational opening to Visions of a Life is continued with the next two songs: 'Beautifully Unconventional' is a snappy, straight forward indie rock toe-tapper followed by one of the highlights on the record, 'Don't Delete the Kisses'. Ellie Rowsell spoke about the track, stating the band wanted to try "one of those, you know, 'head-out-the window on a long drive' kind of tunes", and that's definitely the feelings that this heavenly dream pop ballad captivates best. It's very clear at this point in the album that Wolf Alice are still running with their ethos of eclecticism they carried from their debut, but the major difference is that everything has been cranked up to 11. Whether its Rowsell's frenetic train of thought that can be heard on 'Sky Musings' or the deeply menacing bassline and guitar riff, courtesy of Theo Ellis and Joff Oddie respectively, found on 'Formidable Cool'- this band's idea of evolution lies simply in making things sound bigger and better- and by god, it's working. The record reaches its climax with the title track- an almost 8 minute long behemoth which kicks off as a muddy, stoner rock jam. Momentum builds very quickly though, and by the 4th minute mark the band are back to going completely nuts. It's like 3 different songs squeezed into 1, which makes a very apt end to an incredible album from a band who draw from a broad range of influences- but still manage to form a sound that's completely unique.
Visions of a Life is an album that is undeniably pretty, ominously dark, batshit insane and a hell of a lot of fun- all at the same time. It's yet another coming of age moment for Wolf Alice, as this album has proved that they are one of the most talented bands in the UK, and possibly one of the biggest (they're currently battling Shania Twain for the number 1 spot in the UK Album Charts, and even Jeremy Corbyn has tipped the Camden quartet for the win). Whilst the old guard may fret about guitar music fading into obscurity, it's the bright, young upstarts that are flying the flag and moving forward. I mean, isn't that how it's always been?

Races are a big part of the South African mountain bike market. Stage races and marathons/half-marathons dominate an annual calendar that boasts more than 500 mountain bike events. South Africans are naturally competitive, well the males certainly are, and there's a widespread general desire to improve.
Those that can afford it, buy the best possible bikes, which are light and nimble and cost a great deal of Rands. But there's only so much weight you can pare off a bike. There's a definite limit.
Where there isn't a limit though, is in rider improvement. Most South African mountain bikers ride because it's a fun way to spend time exercising outdoors. And a high percentage ride because they like to compete. Compete against each other; and compete against themselves (personal bests at races and on Strava).
So how does one get faster? The simple answer:
- improving power-to-weight ratio – this can be done by reducing weight and increasing power (or both)
- improving conditioning (physical, mental and emotional) to be able to start any race with confidence due to being appropriately trained for it.
- Improving skills
No two mountain bikers are exactly the same. Some have great self-discipline and motivation; others don't. Some are already quite skilled, most need instruction. Some have a good power-to-weight ratio, most can improve. Some have good stamina/endurance, most can increase this.
Also, South Africa is fairly unusual in the kind of races that are popular. No other country in the world has such popularity of stages races and marathons/half marathons. And most of our races are fairly tame in terms of technical challenges, making physical conditioning a higher priority than skills improvement for most.
That's why South African performance coaches should be regarded highly. They've studied the general principles of mountain biking coaching, but are armed with the knowledge in how to adapt that to South African races, conditions and mindsets…
Alasdair Garnett, a Johannesburg-based professional coach, is one of those. He
comes from a road racing background, which includes winning four national sub-veteran (30-39) road race titles and representing South Africa at the world championships, but has spent the past few years honing his mountain bike knowledge, competing in a number of popular South African events to gain an intimate understanding of what each event offers in terms of challenges to participants.
"There's a general hesitancy towards seeking a professional coach in South Africa. Many feel that a coach is only for professional athletes. But that's not the case. Everyone can improve, so everyone should have access to a coach. Or at least reasonable access," says Garnett.
"Yes, as with any professional coach/instructor, there's a cost involved. But when you consider how much time and money mountain bikers invest in event race entries, travel to events (and accommodation), bicycle, clothing, supplements and spares, the cost of a coach isn't that significant.
"In fact, it shouldn't be viewed as a cost, but rather an investment. An investment in becoming a better conditioned, faster mountain biker. An investment in becoming a better version of yourself," added Garnett.
"Take a Sani2c entrant for example. On average, each entrant spends at least R10 000 on the event (entry, travel, bike preparation, spares, supplements etc). At least. That excludes the cost of his/her bike. Most entrants will spend a good few months investing time in training to be prepared for the three-day event.
"Add up the time and cash invested in the event and you get a very high level of commitment. Now wouldn't it be nice if you could start and finish the event confidently? By that, I mean having the appropriate conditioning to tackle the three stages. Finish each stage strongly with enough time to enjoy the post-stage vibe and recover sufficiently for the following stage," says Garnett.
You don't have to live in the same city or town as your coach. They need to either personally asses you or get an outsourced professional assessment done at a facility near you. This gives your coach important baseline information about your physiology and lets him/her know more about what you might be capable of in terms of your potential.
"Once the assessment is done, then we discuss goals. We develop a realistic weekly training time plan and I then set about creating a long-term training plan broken down into shorter segments," says Garnett.
"This is an exciting time for coach and athlete/client because it's the start of a journey we'll take together. A coach has to be present throughout the journey to offer feedback, comfort, reality checks, advice, guidance and continued support. A good coach is objective and is able to keep you on course in your quest to achieve your objectives," added Garnett.
The ideal minimum period to take on a professional coach is three months (12 weeks). Conditioning takes time and usually a year of training under the guidance of a coach gets you into a position where you can really start making great progress because that's enough time to strengthen your weaknesses and get you through a series of emotional ups and downs to prepare you for anything.
If you answer yes to more three or more of these questions, you should consider getting a personal, professional coach:
- Is mountain biking a high priority in your life?
- Are you ambitious?
- Are you goal-orientated?
- Are you mostly self-motivated?
- Are you competitive?
- Do you want to improve your own performances?
- Do you want to know your potential?
- Do you want to try and achieve your potential?

text: October 18, 2010 Boston (dbTechno) - We begin day 1 of what is going to be a 7-day feature that will be capped off with a review of the Logitech Revue, the new high-tech gadget that will bring Google TV home. Day 1 focuses on how Logitech and Google have come together to revolutionize television. Google TV has been a long-time coming, as the TV is really the last major device to get a make-over with some cool new features and tweaks. Up until now, the TV has seen upgrades in terms of picture quality, but not many features have changed. We have seen picture-in-picture modes, different media abilities, some internet capability, streaming capability, but nothing like this. Logitech Revue with Google TV is going to truly revolutionize television we feel, and needless to say the excitement level is through the roof. The idea here is to completely change television by expanding it with some amazing new features. We are going to be looking at all of these features over the course of this 7-day feature. The key here though is that the possibilities are endless. You will have the entire internet on your TV, the ability to have your television in a picture-in-picture mode while you tweet to your friends, the opportunity to download tons of apps via the Android market once it is implemented, etc. The future of television with the Logitech Revue and Google TV is here, and we cant wait for it to finally begin. We hope you enjoy the next week as we continue to take a very close look at the Logitech Revue and Google TV. Source

playing in the mud, originally uploaded by AmyEmilia.
Behind my brother is a young tree, one of several chaulmoogra trees that my father planted. I believe he brought the seeds from India. Chaulmoogra oil was one of the pre-sulfone treatments for leprosy, and Dad wanted to test the idea out again. I wonder if they are still growing?
In the foreground is a flamboyant tree which was partially caged with chicken wire, and served as a home for one of our pet vervet monkeys.
The building in the background is the small church we had at Kivuvu. A simple building of concrete block, corrugated roofing, and breeze-block walls. There is also a small grey construction in between that looks like an outhouse but in fact was the night watchman's station. We always had a night watchman or sentry while we lived there. I can remember watching him walk by the house swinging his kerosene lantern and singing softly. Always made me feel a little safer!

Where Are the Jobs?
But as the unemployment rate inches steadily toward 10 percent, CBS MoneyWatch editor-at-large Jill Schlesinger says there are still sectors hiring.
The health care industry has added 560,000 jobs and remains a huge part of the U.S. economy. And the government claims to have created or saved 380,000 jobs in education through stimulus efforts.
The government itself is hiring, though some of those jobs – like census workers – are temporary.
And the technology sector is experiencing "very good growth," Schlesinger told "Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith Thursday.
Industries hardest hit by job losses come as no surprise – construction, manufacturing, restaurants and retail continue to struggle.
As far as geography, Schlesinger says heartland states like Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota have been largely spared the full force of the recession, boasting unemployment rates under 5 percent.
Worst areas for job seekers? Michigan, Nevada, Rhode Island and big housing boom states like California.

Sweden's Alesso has been buzzing and building a fan base for a few years, but the 24-year-old reached what he calls "a milestone" earlier this year with his debut full-length, Forever. "I always wanted to do an album," the DJ-producer told Fuse at Voodoo Music + Arts Experience 2015. "And to collaborate with people like Tove Lo, Ryan Tedder and all these incredible, talented people was a great journey."
Alesso also spoke on the communal nature of his live performance, saying, "I'm doing the show for them, but it depends on how people responds, and that creates the energy."
His main goal, though, is...
"...to make people just be in the present. You're working every day, you're doing all your studying, whatever you're doing, you do so many things in life. When you're at these festivals or shows, it's kinda good to just disconnect from all that for a second."


text: > Well if they run linux I dont see how they can provide a proprietary > implementation... I guess the shortest to get support on linux is to > ask them to release the source code! I know there are many controversial discussions with respect to closed source projects for Linux. The fact is that ST Microelectronics has implemented kernel modules with a proprietary interface (STAPI) for the DVB and is not willing to disclose the interface details to open source projects. On the other hand STM provides STLinux distribution for boards based on STi7109 & Co. This distribution contains open source drivers only the output part of the system (V4Land ALSA). A copy of the chip datasheet is available on the web. Though, its legality is questionnable. There have been some questions about the API two years ago so I was wondering whether anybody has started working on an implementation.

It's one thing to take the "Happy" out of "Happy Meals," but I cannot stand silent as advocacy groups call for the retirement of McDonald's longtime front man, Ronald McDonald. Critics claim the burger chain uses the friendly clown to hook children on junk food, but I say there's more to the story.
It's not that I'm for fast food and french fries, nor am I a big clown fan. But I am all about healthy role models for my three children. And you can't find a better figure for inspiring your kids to do good than the Ronald, who has put a smile on the faces of hundreds of thousands of children, sick and healthy. I say this not because I've spent hours trying to pry my kids from the netting of the McDonald's indoor ball jungle during play dates, but because for more than a dozen years, I've sat next to the real-life Ronald at the neighborhood playground and pool. He's a dad and one of a troupe of men who've played the role of Ronald for the chain for the last 48 years. He lives two blocks away from my home in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
I can't reveal his name, because he says his contract doesn't allow him to fess up, but I can tell you about this thoroughly decent guy, who's a father of two and whose son has been a buddy of my 18 year-old daughter since they were in preschool. She and her circle of friends say he's the nicest, most gentle dad on the soccer field sidelines.
Over the years, I've run into him at the local coffee shop and at the gym. We always talk about our common interest: helping kids who are sick or financially disadvantaged or who otherwise just need a break. The real Ronald spends most of his weekdays visiting kids with chronic illness at various Ronald McDonald Houses and, during summers, at Camp Ronald McDonald, and he's always inspired me to do more. When I lost my job at an Internet company that created community for people facing significant illnesses, Ronald encouraged me to find other ways to turn my empathy into both vocation and avocation. I landed at Christ the King Jesuit College Prep, an inner city high school on Chicago's West Side, where I work with teens who have a great need for encouragement, inspiration and support. Thanks to Ronald, I also still keep in close touch with many of the families whose children are chronically ill from my prior position.
I don't want to see Ronald sitting next to me at the coffee shop in the weeks ahead, scouring want ads on a laptop, trying to figure out a career move that will support his two sons through college. The idea, put forth by the critics, that kids might eat more fruits and vegetables if there was no Ronald seems insignificant in light of what he's done for the many kids whose lives he's touched with his kindness and compassion.
The consequences of retiring Ronald go far behind McDonaldland and are an important matter I hope will be taken up with Mayor McCheese and the corporate big guys behind the burger brand. Kids will live without plastic toys, and yes it would be a good thing to create a world where they crave fresh carrots instead of fries. But in the world we live in today, where bullies and bad guys make headlines daily, kids need inspiring, larger-than-life do-gooders like Ronald.
Fortunately, as the fast food chain recently told the Los Angeles Times, Ronald will not be retired. He's too much of an "ambassador of good." And I agree.
Would you vote to keep Ronald?

Hydrogen Manufacture from Natural Gas
Hydrogen (H2) is an important chemical feedstock, mainly applied in the manufacture of ammonia and methanol, and for hydroprocessing operations in petroleum refineries. Also, since H2 is an energy carrier, it has been considered for stationary power and transportation applications.
Hydrogen manufacture technologies are separated into three main categories: thermal, electrolytic and photolytic. In thermal processes, such as reforming and gasification, H2 is produced from biomass and fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. In electrolytic processes, H2 is obtained from water-splitting, using electricity that can be generated from a variety of sources, such as wind. In photolytic processes, lightenergy allows hydrogen production using novel photoelectrochemical and photobiological water-splitting processes.
In the U.S., H2 is mostly produced from natural gas using the thermal steam methane reforming (SMR) process. Natural gas is an important feedstock for H2 production since it is widely available and presents a high hydrogen-to-carbon ratio, reducing the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) byproduct.
Technology Description
In the process described below and depicted in the following simplified diagram, H2 is produced from natural gas using an SMR process. The process was compiled based on information available in the chemical literature.
Sulfur Removal
Natural gas feedstock is purified by catalytic treatment with H2 for removal of sulfur impurities. In the hydrotreater, H2 reacts, over a catalyst, with sulfur compounds present in the feed stream to form hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is then adsorbed in the desulfurizer.
Steam Reforming
Purified natural gas is mixed with ...
Sizing a Hydrogen Production Facility
There are three kinds of facilities for H2 production ...

Voice and Swallowing Disorders
Our team of Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialists work together with speech pathologists in treating voice and swallowing disorders. Together, this team employs state of the art technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning.
Voice Services
ENT Specialists, working with highly trained speech
pathologists, provide exceptional care for people with
varying voice needs such as:
- Professional voice users
- Teachers
- Pediatric voice patients
- Singers of all skill levels
Some common symptoms of our voice patients include:
- Hoarseness of all levels
- Changes in Voice Quality
- Chronic Cough
- Chronic throat clearing
- Breathing problems known as vocal cord dysfunction
Singers Clinic
Sound Health's singing specialist, who is also a speech pathologist, has experience working with patients of all skill levels and styles of singing. For instance, the singers clinic offers treatment for professional singers, choir members, and even those who simply enjoy singing in the shower. In particular, patients come to our singing clinics with complaints such as loss of range, discomfort when singing and changes in singing voice.
Swallowing Services
Our ENT Specialists and speech pathologists evaluate many different swallowing complaints including:
- Feeling something stuck in the throat
- A lump in throat feeling
- Coughing and choking when eating and/or drinking
- Food getting stuck when swallowing
- Regurgitation of food or liquid during or after swallowing
- Discomfort with swallowing
Sometimes a swallowing problem can be evaluated by simply observing the patient eating different consistencies of foods or liquids. For example, our speech pathologist, specializing specifically in swallowing disorders, is trained to pay attention to simple things that happen, even when a person is just swallowing their own saliva. This is a good way to start the process of figuring out what is going on when someone swallows.
Head and Neck Cancer Rehabilitation
Patients who have undergone surgical changes because of head and neck cancer may need assistance with communication and swallowing. Therefore, our Ear, Nose, and Throat Physicians and speech pathologists are equipped with the latest technology and training to assist these patients with their unique needs. Working together, our team of professionals can help patients restore their communication and swallowing.

The main job of folk music and researchers is to collect and study folk traditions, meaning by tradition not just beliefs and opinions that this uncultivated nation has for facts and phenomena of the universe, but about daily customs too, about various ceremonies, and the aesthetic manifestation of all kinds.
When we talk about the inceptionof folk music, we must consider it doesn't form on its own, but with other elements which it is connected, this way it begins with ethnographic elements wich belong to it(customs, different devotions etc.), which belong to the music, dancing etc. The first in this unity, as an artistic and vital phenomenon connected with the life of the primitive human, we can say that the folk music is as old as humans. It began as a an internal need of this primitive human, on top, not as a pure artistic occurance, but as a phenomenon directly connected to his life, his survival, his life security etc.
With one word, the primitive man, powerless against different forces of reality, thinking the world as populated by spirits(animism phase), from spirits taking his side, at least thinking that way, helped him get through various difficulties in his life, which protected him from the evil, dangers of life, protected him from illness, from drought, gave him and his land fertility, but there were also spirits of evil side, which, at least thinking that way, set traps and wanted to hit him at any moment, jelous and capricious spirits, which could send him illness and death, make his products or prey not be favourably etc.

Scott Sanders had rented the same Washington, D.C., townhouse for seven years, so when he finally bought it he knew just what to do first: Enliven the tiny backyard and renovate the dingy kitchen. But those improvements made such an impact, Scott couldn't stop there. One project led to another, and soon a complete renovation was under way.
Scott's home is a two-story, 1,100-square-foot, 100-year-old row house in Washington's diverse and historic Adams-Morgan district. With two long, windowless common walls and no room to expand, Scott, a communications consultant, knew he would need help to make it more livable. He called in Rick Harlan Schneider of Inscape Studio who worked with the site's sunlight, breezes, walls and wildlife to create a light, open, outdoors-oriented home.
Phase one: The kitchen and patio
Scott and Schneider first met with plans to discuss two separate projects: the patio and the kitchen. But, Schneider says, "We quickly realized that, because these two spaces were only separated by a wall, we should think of them as a whole. How do you flow from the kitchen to the patio, open up the kitchen and make a patio that feels like an extension of the house?"
Schneider started by opening up the south-facing kitchen wall with double French doors and operable windows. Then he raised the patio so Scott could walk straight from his kitchen into the new outdoor room. Inside, Schneider reconfigured the small kitchen to gain more storage, a workspace and an eating area, then modernized it with a cleaner look. Outside called for more dramatic measures.
"Scott wanted a garden space," Schneider says, "but there really wasn't enough area to plant things horizontally. So we came up with what we call his 'vertical gardens.'" A cedar fence brimming with potted plants and planter boxes surrounds Scott's new stone patio, improving the view from the kitchen and capturing rainwater at the same time. A patio fireplace with a custom grill functions as a cookstove in summer and a heat source in cooler seasons. A strip of pea gravel carries water runoff back into the ground.
Scott's only problem with his new space is easily remedied: His south-facing patio captures heat, a boon in cool weather but a challenge in hot D.C. summers. Scott plans to install a canvas canopy system, which will allow him to block the summer sun from directly hitting the house.
"I really like being on the patio now," Scott says. "It's easier to take food in and out, so I eat out there much more. I'm more serious about gardening now, too, because it's so much more pleasant. Even the dogs spend more time outside; they like to lie on the long wooden steps in the sun."
Phase two: Living and dining
All that great light and storage in the kitchen made Scott yearn for more. Within a year, he'd called Schneider back in, and the two turned their attention to the living area. They took out the wall that separated the living and dining rooms, replacing it with hanging cabinets for Scott's pottery collection. The cabinets' open fronts and backs allow light through.
"The two major changes were the back wall and the wall between the living and dining rooms," Schneider says. "In both cases, we transformed walls that separated spaces and made them much more flexible so that spaces could join and flow. The idea was to make the walls do more—to have them serve multiple functions. Scott loves to entertain, too, so once we opened up those two walls, it was suddenly a lot easier for him to invite people over."
Phase three: Comfort
Scott had replaced his old furnace with a new, energy-efficient model before he began remodeling, but Schneider suggested having the ductwork and registers cleaned, repaired and, in some cases, replaced to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
In the kitchen, where the bulk of the renovation was done, Schneider upgraded wall insulation levels to R-19. The roof insulation was good, but the roofing needed an upgrade, so Schneider suggested a light-colored membrane to cut back on solar heat gain; that step alone can reduce energy bills.
With an eye toward aesthetic comfort, color consultant Zoe Kyriacos helped Scott pick colors and patterns, using low-VOC (VOCs are volatile organic compounds that outgas) paints to maintain indoor air quality. "That was an incredibly smart investment," he says. "Zoe has a good eye, and she gave me the confidence to do things I'd only vaguely thought of. Between Rick and Zoe, this place looks significantly better than it would have if I'd done it myself. It really made a difference, having people who pay attention to the details."
Scott is delighted with the results. "It feels like a different house now, more like my house—and with a lot more storage space," he says. "The main difference is the link between indoors and out, which changed dramatically when we opened up the back of the house. It feels much lighter and more open."

A Conversation with the Homeowner
Would you do anything differently?
Scott Sanders: I would put in skylights above the stairway to bring in more light. Rick and I talked about it, but I was worried about leaking. When I get a new roof, I'll add skylights.
If I had it all to do again, I would take out the old wood trim to reduce visual clutter—no six-panel doors, just flat doors. No trim around doors. It's nice to just have clean space.
And I love the glass tile in the upstairs bathroom, but I would have been happy with something less expensive; it's going to be hard to repair if it ever has to
be changed.
I would also add UV protection to my windows. I didn't do it, and my kitchen cabinets have really changed color. If you're bringing in more light—which I highly recommend—I would also recommend filtering it.
How has your life changed since remodeling your home?
Scott: I spend more of my day outside.
Do you have advice for someone contemplating a green remodel?
Scott: Pay a lot of attention to both natural and installed lighting. It makes a huge difference. And pay attention to making the lighting strategies cohere throughout the house.
In choosing finish materials, pay attention to what's going to stand the test of time.
Work with professionals. I've learned the value of bringing in people who are knowledgeable in their fields.
What do you love most about your remodeled home?
Scott: The clean lines, and more light. A friend came in and said, "Your house is like a spa!"
What is your favorite space?
Scott: The back garden, especially in summer. When it's warm, I eat breakfast outside every morning.

Uncle Bob - Part 1 by Neil
It was the last day of school and not a very good year. My grades were not good and I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. My Father was fed up with me and decided to send me to stay with my Uncle who lives out West.
I Don't remember him, he went into the Military when I was just a Baby. Now he has Two sons, A few years younger then me.
I guess the change will do me good.I was looking forward to see what the West coast was like.Hot Blonds and hanging out at the Beach.Cool...
My Father did not tell me much about my uncle Bob. I guess he would be a lot like my Father.Well sit back and let me tell you all about my summer out West....
I got off the plane It was about 3pm and Man was I tired, I had to look for a man and two kids in the distance I could see three people that fit the description. So I headed over to them.
Are you uncle Bob, I asked. "Son you must be Neil". Yes, how are you I said. " This is Mike and thats Billy" Whats up?
"Nice to meet you" .
On the way to the car we talked about things we are going to do and I notice how respectful Mike and Billy were and how much they obeyed their Father.
There was One thing I did take notice. All three of them were wearing cow boy hats and all had their heads shaved. This made me feel a little out of place. I wear my hair on the long side.
We got in the truck and headed for the house it was on a farm.We talked some more and before I new it, we were home.
We sat down to eat and all of them took off their hats uncle Bob had what you call a Horseshoe crewcut Mike and Bill had # 1buzz cuts with a bumper.We started eating and uncle Bob started asking me a lot of questions and one questions was, "have you ever had a crewcut son". No I never had."son, we have some rules in this house and one rules is, when you address me it is Sir, Is that understood"
Yes." Yes what ". Yes Sir. " Very Good ".
I had a hard time sleeping that night I was thinking uncle Bob was going to be a real hard ass.
The next morning at breakfast uncle Bob told Mike and Bill to go down to the barn and start the days work. " Neil I want you to stay back at the house with me".Mike and bill headed out and it was just uncle Bob and me.
" Son come with me". He took me out onto the back porch. He had a stool and table set up in the center of the porch." I want you to take off your T shirt and have a set ". I notice sitting on the table was a pair of clippers. I started sweating and did not know what to do.I obeyed his command and took my shirt off and set down. I could not believe what was going on but I was to afraid to rebel.
" Son I think it is time for you to get a good hair cut, you are long over do.I have been giving Mike and Bill crew cuts since they were born. Every sunday is hair cut day, but I feel you can't wait until sunday. Now I want you to sit still and keep you neck lose". He stood to one side of me put his hand on top of my head and tilted it down into my chest. Then I heard the clippers come to life and felt them being placed at the base of my neck.
Next I could feel them being pushed up the back of my head. I could feel he was not stopping he pushed the clippers all the way over the top .He repeated shaving until the entire back of my head was bald.
He then lifted my head, put his hand on my forehead and started shaving the top . This was the most weird feeling I have ever felt. All I could see was my hair all over me and getting all over Uncle Bob.He continued until my entire head was shaved bald." So how does it feel son"? Very weird, as I reach up and feel the stubble on my head." I am not down". He then Turns the clippers on once more puts his hand down on the top of my head and starts digging the clippers in to my head." This might hurt a bit but I want to get it down to the skin"
It felt like he was shaving off the skin it was hot and a lot of vibating. As he shaved he would rub with his free hand getting off all the lose stubbel. He just keep shaving and shaving and all I could feel was his big hand running over my head, until I was skined. " Well son, I think that is going to do it, you now have an introduction crew cut just like you would get in the Army.Now you will stay nice and cool . Sunday, I will just shave the sides and back and let the top come in a little, that will give you a 1" bumper.Now sweep up this hair and take a shower".
It was very weird taking a shower and not having any hair, all I did was wash my head like the rest of my body,With a bar of soap.The rest of the day I could not stop feeling my bald head Mike and Bill said it looked cool I guess It realy was not so bad getting my head Shaved and being everyone here has a shaved head I felt in place. Having long hair living here would of felt out of place.
Uncle Bob is not so bad, if you do not disrespect him, he can be a fun guy.Sunday came fast and after breakfast it was hair cut time. We all headed out to the porch, " Neil I want you to go frist" I took of my shirt and took a set. Mike and Bill sat and watched as uncle Bob skined what ever stubble I had growing in.
" I am just skining the side and back I will leve a little on the top so you will have a bumper in the front. It will take a few weeks to grow in".
I enjoyed the feeling of having the clippers run up the sides and back of my head and when he run it over the crown I felt my self getting hard, I never thought that would happen but it felt so relaxing, I could Sit and have this done all day.When I was done Mike jumped on the stool, Uncle Bob Skined his sides and back up very high then he wet the top of his head, straddle Mikes legs and cut the top down with the clippers leveing about a 1" bumper in the front tapering to a skined crown. He looked very cool. Bill got the same treatment. We went swimming all day in the pool, it felt weird swimming with no hair. I realy liked having my head shaved and living there I felt very comfortable. I don't know how I would feel at home having my head shaved but at the time , I was enjoying it very much.
Uncle Bob to gets his head shaved every sunday he heads into town and stops at the town Barber. Uncle Bob gets a skin tight Horseshoe Flat top, he said the Barber shaves his entier head with a razor and shaving cream and levels just 1/4 of hair on the top of the, front of his head. He said he has been wearing a Horseshoe crewcut sense he was in the Army.
I learned a lot living out west with Uncle Bob he made me feel wanted that is important , for a man to take an intrust in his boys my father does not do that. I can't wait to go back and live with Uncle Bob, Mike and Billy.I also have been cutting my hair but not that short. The first thing I want Uncle Bob to do when I go back is, sit my down and skin my head to the bone.
A very weak character, your hero : he gets a haircut against his will and he accepts it passively.
OK, later he starts to like it, but what are his feelings at the start ?
