HA NOI (VNS) — Two Vietnamese entrepreneurs have been named by Forbes as being among the top 50 powerful businesswomen in Asia.
Mai Kieu Lien, chairwoman and CEO of the Viet Nam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) and Thai Huong, chairwoman of TH Group with the TH True Milk brand, were named in the Asia's Power Businesswomen 2015 list, released by Forbes last week.
Vinamilk is one of the best-known brands in Viet Nam and, according to research firm Nielsen, has 51 per cent of the liquid milk market share, Forbes said.
Vinamilk's revenue jumped 14 per cent in 2014 to reach US$1.7 billion, supported by two new factories, the magazine said, adding that Lien, 61, aims to push sales to touch $3 billion by 2017 by expanding overseas.
Vinamilk exports to 30 countries and is trying to sell more to the Middle East, Africa and Cuba. But Mai faces certain challenges. For instance, the company's profit last year was flat as the price of raw materials – largely imported milk powder – shot up, according to the magazine.
Lien has been included in the Asia's Power Businesswomen list for the fourth consecutive year.
Meanwhile, TH Group Chairwoman Thai Huong, 57, is the newest representative of Viet Nam in this list. Huong entered the milk business in 2009, vowing to change the nature of the industry in Viet Nam, which has mainly used powder to produce liquid milk, Forbes said.
Since then, TH Group has invested $450 million to import and raise cows to produce fresh milk products, using Israeli technology. It has 40,000 cows on 8,100 ha, but plans to raise its total land to 37,000ha, according to Forbes.
TH Group estimates that its 2014 revenue exceeded $200 million, with a one-third share of the fresh-milk market, a challenge to the country's largest milk producer, Vinamilk, Forbes said.
The Asia's Power Businesswomen 2015 list covers the top 50 representatives in several sectors from 16 regional countries.
To prepare this year's list, Forbes applied the criteria of company sales, the positions of the candidates in their companies, and the level of their participation at work.
In 2014, Forbes named three Vietnamese businesswomen in its most-powerful women list, including Vinamilk Chairwoman and CEO Lien, Chairperson and CEO of Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Joint Stock Company Nguyen Thi Mai Thanh, and Chairperson of the Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank Nguyen Thi Nga. — VNS

Siena unlikely to join new league
Newspaper report says "Catholic 7" interested
LOUDONVILLE — Siena athletic director John D'Argenio downplayed a Washington Post report that the college could join the so-called "Catholic 7" conference that will include top-flight Division I men's basketball programs such as Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova.
"It's always flattering when the college's name is put in a group of schools like that," D'Argenio said Sunday. "But it's just somebody that wrote an article and speculates."
The author, nationally acclaimed sportswriter John Feinstein, reported Siena could receive an invitation from the seven Catholic basketball schools that don't play major college football and are breaking off from the rest of the Big East Conference.
Those institutions are Georgetown, Marquette, Villanova, Providence, Seton Hall, DePaul and St. John's.
The Post reported the schools are looking to expand to up to 12 members for an all-sports league that could begin playing as soon as next season.
The Post called Siena "a late entry but a potentially appealing one because it's a Catholic school that (more importantly) plays in a 15,500-seat arena in Albany, N.Y."
D'Argenio said he hadn't spoken to anyone from the Catholic 7.
"Nobody's made any outreaches or overtures and I don't know who they've made outreaches or overtures to," D'Argenio said. "But I know it's not us."
The timing of the report is ironic since Siena, which plays in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, is struggling through one of the worst seasons in men's basketball program history with a 6-21 record. But D'Argenio said he understood why Siena might be appealing to the Catholic 7.
"I think it's the arena (Times Union Center) because it's a first-class facility that the county does a great job of maintaining," D'Argenio said. "And I think it's the history of the program, too. You put the past couple of years aside, there's strong history and a tradition of success. We're not that dissimilar to some of the schools that are there. But that doesn't mean we're similar enough to make that jump, either."
Siena's athletic budget is far smaller than those in the Catholic 7. St. John's spent $7.28 million on men's basketball and $33.6 million on athletics in general in 2011-12, according to figures provided to the U.S. Department of Education, compared with Siena's $2.29 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
The Washington Post reported the Catholic 7 will try to raid the Atlantic 10 Conference for schools such as Butler, St. Louis, Xavier and Dayton. If that's the case, the Atlantic 10 might be a more realistic option for Siena down the road should the Saints choose to change leagues.

Eats Shoots and Leaves ... MICROGREENS are Go
Posted on
Despite years growing millions of seeds commercially when I had my little herb nursery, I still get a sense of amazement, awe and wonder at watching seeds germinate and grow. There is something immensely therapeutic and empowering about growing your own food, and that can prove difficult in a small space with no garden … like a boat or a flat. So this winter I have been playing around with MICROGREENS, the ultimate solution to gardening in a small space and a year round supply of fresh, immensely nutritious and tasty food.
Amaranth Red Army Perilla and Basil Pea Shoots after watering
Microgreens are halfway between a sprout … like beansprouts.. and baby leaf salads. They are harvested when the second set of leaves appear. Most of us have grown or eaten cress as a microgreen. They are quick to grow, taste and look fantastic and contain unbelievably high amounts of anti-oxidants, Vitamins C, E and K and beta-carotene, 25 to 40 times the amount found in the fully grown veg. The nutritional benefits are enhanced by growing them yourself and harvesting as you need them. The end of slimy bags of wilted salad leaves is nigh. There is loads of information online about growing microgreens … everyone has their own tricks and ideas … essentially, you don't need any special equipment, though a hand sprayer is useful, apart from a sunny windowsill,
It is possible to grow microgreens in any container, the plastic trays that soft fruit and veg are sold in in supermarkets are great … some even have a lid which makes an instant mini propagator. They can be grown on kitchen towel or compost. I also grew them on old woolly jumpers cut into squares, felt, compost and shredded paper. However, having experimented with several different methods, I got the best results using Coconut Coir. This is a sustainable, organic product made from left over husks of coconuts. It is clean, sterile and easy to store as it comes in pellets that expand when water is added. You don't need much, 3-5cm for small seeds and 5-7cm for bigger seeds like peas.
Coconut Coir Pellets
The other advantages of coir is that it holds moisture well, (Kitchen towel dries out very quickly), and provides an excellent medium for root growth. It is possible to make several sowings in one batch of coir. These pictures show Basil microgreens sown on the same day on coir and paper and the growth is better on coir. They are a week old. I also use recycled paper seed trays; cheap, biodegradable, last for several sowings and also retain moisture.
Growing on paper, felt or coir is essentially growing hydroponically; there are no nutrients available to the seedling, though a seed contains enough nutrients inside to get the plants started. Some people recommend feeding microgreens for better taste and leaf production. An organic, sustainable feed like Liquid Seaweed or Kelp can be diluted and added to your sprayer every couple of days, though I don't feed mine.
You can grow a huge variety of herbs, salads and veg as microgreens. I started off with popcorn kernels and a bag of dried peas. It is worth using dedicated microgreen seeds though, as these are not treated with fungicides like many seeds are. I have grown pea shoots, sunflower seeds, radish, kale, broccoli, amaranth, perrilla, coriander, fenugreek, mung beans, basil, chard … my favorites are definitely pea shoots and sunflowers … oh and amaranth … and radish ….. and broccoli … They all taste amazing and useful for getting kids to eats cabbage or if you are on a paleo diet kick.
Pea shoots Sunflowers Red Radish
Big seeds, like peas and sunflowers benefit from being soaked in water for a few hours before sowing, then just sprinkle thickly over the surface of the moist coir and press the seeds in gently. Germination is better if you keep the seeds in the dark and moist till they sprout and it is best to cover bigger seeds like peas, with a thin layer of compost. I tried covering with damp newspaper and kitchen towel as some growers suggest, but it was fiddly, so just put my trays in a propagator or plastic bag in the airing cupboard. Once the seeds sprout, bring them out of their bag, or open the vents on the propagator and place on a sunny windowsill, though hours of direct summer sun might be too much. Keep them moist by spraying a couple of times a day. Using a watering can disturbs the seeds. The first set of leaves soon appears (cotyledon leaves) and you can harvest at this stage or wait for the second set of true leaves. Then just snip off with scissors, just above the coir, rinse and eat. They can be eaten raw, like salad or added to stir frys, soups, stews whatever.
Microgreens can be grown year round indoors, and outside in summer … be warned though … pigeons and small rodents are magnetically drawn to bigger seeds like peas and sunflower seeds … best kept inside or protected in a ventilated propagator. The only real problem you may have is mould due to overwatering or using dirty containers.. always wash thoroughly and disinfect if possible before starting, especially if using old seed trays.
Alchemy Plants, my other business, has put together some little kits to get you started … only available on the towpath at the moment, but mail order coming soon. The seeds are all certified untreated and from DEFRA registered suppliers. You can buy everything from just one pack of broccoli seeds (easy, quick and tasty) or go for my ultimate kit with a selection of seeds, coir compost pellets, robust propagator, biodegradable seed trays and hand sprayer.
Also available are a huge range of herb seeds, including some fun seed selections to Grow Your Own Gin, Absinthe, Apothecary and Magic Spells and New Baby Leaf Salad Seed Mixes. For the cost of one bag of slimy baby leaves from a supermarket you can have a fresh supply of leaves all summer.
Time to get growing

School Readiness = Set for Life
In today's world, more and more employers are not only looking for a skilled workforce but are relying on talented, well rounded employees who bring collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking skills to the table. It has become a necessity in many company's cultures around the world for their employees to poses these skills for success in our global economy. So when should we begin teaching students these skills? Is preschool too early to focus on such BIG tasks? Research says preschool is where to begin. According to the US Chamber of Commerce, "(T)he capacity for developmental skills begins in the first five years of life. This is the beginning point for a person's creativity, communication, team working, problem-solving and critical thinking skills."
New World Learning Academy (NWLA) instills and nurtures that same 21st Century culture of focus, self-discipline, motivation and collaboration in all of our students. We know that 90% of critical brain development occurs before Kindergarten and these skills are ingrained by age 5. These are the years that children develop Cognitive, Social, Emotional and Language skills. Children in this age group grow and learn at the most intense rate and begin to interact and relate to the world around them.
NWLA's curriculum and educators enhance and nurture that critical development phase in all of our students. We are not a one size fits all environment as we recognize that children learn at different rates and in multiple different ways. We take a personalize approach to our education methods and curriculum. How do we accomplish this? It all begins with our school environment.
· Each classroom is designed to teach collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Desks are arranged where children can work independently when needed and turn to collaborate with classmates.
· Our science lab is organized for children to work hands-on with every project.
· Our library promotes thinking routines in which students use to make observations and reflections of stories read.
. Our students are educated to engage in computational thinking – a big term for our young learners but they do not realize they are engaging in it when it is presented appropriately.
· Our educators aide students' engagement in creating and making use of multiple levels of concepts to solve problems differently.
· Our curriculum fosters student's innate curiosity and enthusiasm by allowing children to explore various outcomes through manipulatives and hands-on modeling. They work together to solve real life problems they are facing or are aware of in today's society.
· At the same time we celebrate each student's personal academic growth. Our reading program incorporates both group lessons as well as an individual reading coach. This begins the foundation of a whole new world for our students. When they begin to read, their confidence is boosted and they believe they can do anything – and they can – and they will!
Arizona's high school graduation rates are staggering – one quarter of high school students do not graduate. Nearly half of the American workforce lacks the important skills for obtaining and advancing in a career. The good news is that research shows how to correct this problem and it begins with a solid foundation in the early years. New World Learning Academy is dedicated to changing those statistics among our future leaders here in the East Valley.

A definition from Easton's Bible Dictionary states that
Goodness "in man is not a mere passive quality, but the deliberate preference of right to wrong, the firm and persistent resistance of all moral evil, and the choosing and following of all moral good."
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone" (Luke 18:19)
When I read what Jesus had to say to a rich young man, the idea of calling myself 'good' seems prideful. Can I call myself "good?" Or is it up to others to call me "good?"
If agathosune is "uprightness of heart and life," perhaps I'm better off letting others make the judgement call. After all, Jesus, in his deity, gave all goodness to God alone. He could have claimed it, but in his humility, he glorified his Father.
As I continue to learn about how the Holy Spirit works in me to produce fruit, definitions from several sources help me to understand. I'm glad that Easton's dictionary uses verbs like choosing and following because it implies that I must be aware of what's going on around me.
I also appreciate that, to be considered "good," I must be deliberate, firm, and persistent. Indeed, Mr. Easton, being "good" is not a mere passive quality. The Spirit leads; I listen; I obey.
Ultimately, the fruit of the Spirit called "goodness," like each other fruit, is defined by the Holy Spirit himself as he works in us to make us "good." With the Spirit working in us, we're able to live a fruitful life. We Love, we exhibit Joy and Peace, we act with Kindness, and we can be Good.
So far, so good.
Be a blessing to someone today.

Zug, Switzerland – August 2017
Hello! This is going to be the first of a few posts containing memories and photos from my holiday to Switzerland. We went to several different places so I thought that instead of squeezing it all into one post, I would do several smaller ones. I thought I would kick off the Switzerland post spam with a fairly short post about Zug.
Zug is about an hour away from where we're staying, and very near to where my Aunt lives. We met up with her and had lunch in the town then strolled around for a while. We come to Switzerland often but I feel like this is the first time I've ever really felt like I've seen lots of Swiss things! I love all the houses with their shutters and bright colours – I feel like I've just stepped out of Heidi! The lake was also gorgeous and unexpected! They were even setting up for a Jazz concert in the evening, which I thought was very cool. Unfortunately we were only there for a few short hours as we needed to get back. I would have loved to stay for longer and sunbathe by the lake!
I hope you enjoy the photos – it looked much better in real life!

Lincoln – August 2017
Hi! Back again with another travel post 🙂
Earlier this month I went to Lincoln for a week on a choir tour. We were singing in the cathedral all day for a week and sung for services each day. It's something I love doing each year and it's great for the social side too – however I only see most of the people once a year, so it always takes a few days for me to warm up to them again! Although we spent most of the time singing, we still had plenty of time to wonder around on a day off and long lunch breaks!
I'd never been to Lincoln before, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's not a huge city but has bustling streets, an awesome cathedral, a fascinating castle and of course there's the steep hill – which everyone tried to avoid walking up or down! We went to all of the above places and even got to do a roof top tour of the cathedral – which presented the most amazing views!
Singing for an entire week is probably one of my favourite things, but I did experience withdrawal symptoms when I got home! Being around people all week and releasing all those endorphins through singing takes some coming out of.
I've included a few of my favourite photo's from the trip below – I hope you enjoy!

Malvern – summer getaway
Hello! It's been a while since I wrote anything on here but I'm back with a travelling/holiday post! Its the summer holidays here and every year my mum, brother and I go away for a few days in July (my dad has to work so doesn't come). Last year we went camping in Cheddar Gorge and this year we went to Malvern, which is near Worchester. I realised recently that considering I live in England, I have probably only seen 10% of it, which is why I really enjoy these little trips that we do each year.
We arrived at our hotel on Sunday evening and went more or less straight to bed. The next day we walked up into the Malvern Hills. Walking is not really something I actively choose to do but this was awesome and the views were beautiful! We walked about 7 miles which took around 3 and a half hours.
We spent the rest of the time exploring the tiny town and enjoying the luxury of having a pool and gym at the hotel. The ground of the hotel itself were beautiful and perfect for an afternoon of sunbathing. We went into the priory gardens in the town and the Priory itself. It felt very typically British to be standing next to a band stand eating an ice cream!
On the way home we went to Worchester and popped into a medical museum that was in the university. It was actually a lot more interesting than we thought it was going to be! We then went into the town center and went to the cathedral. My brother and I were somewhat dragged to the evensong by my mum, who wanted to go as it was being broadcast on BBC radio. The singing was actually fairly good! We also happened to bump into a friend and briefly chatted to him.
It was a good few days away – although tiring! Definitely reccommend it, especially if you love walking holidays!

Protected: Reflection on first year at college
The Matching Hypothesis
This is very different to my usual relaxed and casual posts, but I've been thinking about this theory for a while now and I need a ramble about it. I do A level Psychology and the current project is on the Matching Hypothesis. Hopefully some of you are aware of what this theory explains/proposes but most people I've asked about have no idea about it. The Matching Hypothesis proposes that people are more likely to have long standing relationships with someone who is as equally attractive as they are. It was just one of those theories where certain things just start to make sense and you just think yes that's why. It also suggests that if the two people differ greatly in physical attractiveness, then the less attractive person has some compensating quality, such as wealth or status.
I am not 100% sure I agree with this theory, because there are so many circumstances in which relationships are formed, therefore it simply cannot be accountable for all relationships. I also think it represents us humans as being very shallow beings, which I also do not agree with – I mean, yes some people are very shallow, but a lot are also not.
However, I do think it's an awesome explanation and I'm sure you can think of a few couples who fit this description.
I know that was a short blog post but I wanted to write it quickly whilst I still had the thought in my head. I'd love to hear your views on this theory – do you agree with it?

Milan 2017
I think I've found my new favourite city! I recently went to Milan, Italy and it was awesome. I went with my dad from Wednesday to Sunday, so only for a few days but had a great time. I'd never really heard of anyone I know going to Milan and if they had it was just to pass through so I didn't know what to expect. However, I absolutely loved the city with its chilled (and some very handsome!) locals, delicious food and breath taking sights.
The first thing I noticed was how chilled all the 'locals' were. No one was rushing anywhere and they all seemed so content! Loads of people were wearing suits as well, I don't know how they didn't burn up considering it was about 30 degrees! It had a very business-work vibe which I love!
We visited the Duomo, i.e. the gothic cathedral, on day one. We did the museum tour including going underneath the cathedral to see the archeological ruins from when it was first built. The inside of the cathedral was beautiful and absolutely huge! One thing which stood out to me was the tapestrys displayed from the ceiling – I've never seen this before so thought it was quite cool and unique. However, my favourite part was the outside. I've heard that the Duomo has been compared to a cake and a hedgehog. It certainly looked like a cake! Every single spire had a little statue on it and each was carved so intricately. We went to the 'terraces' which was basically the roof. This provided great views of the city sky line. The best way to describe the awesomeness of this is to just show you photos!
On day two we went to Castello Sforzesco. We didn't do any of the tours or museums there but we walked around it and through the gardens. This was pretty impressive; both the castle and the grounds were beautiful. There was a live band playing in the grounds which (I'm assuming) was there because the Friday was Republican Day. This is an Italian holiday celebrating something to do with the monarchy they used to have. It was good to experience some local culture whilst we were there! On the same day we did an open top bus tour around the city. We hopped on and off at various locations and it also took us to the football stadium, which my dad was very impressed with!
On day three (our final day) we strolled around the city and went to the Teatro Alla Scala. This was so impressive! The theatre was enormous and it was fun to imagine what I'd be like to sing and act in front of a crowd that big. We also went through the museum there as well which taught us all about the life and works of various famous composers. We also walked through the shopping centre several times throughout our trip. This is one of the oldest shopping centres in the world and looks more like a palace than a shopping centre! Milan is the home and fashion and it's clear to see why!
We also strolled along the Navigli canals on our final day and had lunch beside them. There were various market stalls up and down the streets so we walked around those as well.
The food was delicious! I ate mostly pasta in the evening and we had salads for lunch. On our first day there we found an awesome salad bar which was like a fast food salad resturant. They had the biggest selection of salads and puddings I've ever seen! Another place we went to had the best seafood spagetti I've ever had! There are so many good places to eat around the city and most are reasonably priced. I thought it was cheaper than London. We also went to an ice cream cafe where we got served the biggest, yummiest ice creams I've ever seen!
The buildings were so grand and reminded me a bit of some streets in Oxford city centre. The central station was more like a museum than a train station! It was huge and the building was amazing.
The trip was awesome and I'd love to go again! I might even start to learn Italian so I can move there someday! I hope you enjoyed this travel post.

New to my wardrobe
It feels like way to long since I've done a fashion post! They're a little tricker to plan because you have to take photos so I like to do it when I have enough time to do it properly! I thought I would show you some of the things I've bought over the last couple of weeks – links to each item will be at the bottom – enjoy!
Bardot top
This is my first Bardot top! I expected it to be really uncomfortable but it's actually not too bad. I love styling this with black jeans, a denim jacket and some little black boots. It's great for a casual evening or daytime look.
Checkered skater dress
I absolutely love skater dresses – they look great and can be dress up or down – so when I say this one I was hooked. It kind of reminds me of an outfit out of a fairy tale. I can't wait to wear this when it gets a bit warmer with some white converses. H&M also have loads of other dresses in the same style so I'm definitely going to go grab some more!
Black denim dress
This was a bit of a push from my usual style but I tried it on and was pleasantly surprised by how it looked! It is bodycon so it very flattering around the waist. I have to say, the picture does not do it justice! I wore this with a checked shirt for a friends birthday dinner a few weeks ago and felt comfortable in it all evening.
This was a little treat to myself after the first week back at college after the holidays. I've been needing a small evening bag for ages and was so pleased when I came across this one in Accessorize. It's the perfect size for evenings (or even day trips!) and just fits my phone and purse in.
These are a little daring and I have no idea when I'm going to end up wearing them! But I thought they were so pretty and I love the embroidery on the heels. The price for these was also amazing at (I think!) £16. They were from Primark so I cant give a link for them!

Time is running out to nominate your NHS Heros for a Lincolnshire Health Award!
Do you know someone working in the NHS who deserves extra praise and recognition?
Has a doctor, nurse or other health care professional gone that extra mile to help you or someone you know? Then why not consider nominating them for a Lincolnshire Health Award?
The awards are returning later this year. The event is set to be bigger and better than ever before after the success of the inaugural event, which is held in association with Lincolnshire's NHS.
Last year, more than 250 nominations were received across the award categories. A glitzy awards ceremony was held at The Bentley Hotel where trophies and certificates were presented to the winners.
The event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Lincoln on November 20, where deserving winners will be recognised for their devoted care and service to the NHS.
The awards are staged by Lincolnshire Media, publishers of the Lincolnshire Echo, Target Series and the Retford Times.
Karis Hildred, events manager at Lincolnshire Media, said: "Everyone knows the hard work and dedication that is put in by people who work in the NHS and wider health care providers, yet they often get little public recognition.
"These awards are our way of saying thank you to them for the work they do.
"Last year's event was a huge success and we are confident that this year will be even more special.
"We hope to attract even more nominations than last year too. If you know somebody who you think deserves some recognition, please nominate them. Maybe they will be up on the stage later this year winning an award."

THE grandfather of British blues John Mayall is coming to the City Hall on Thursday, October 23 bringing with him his legendary band the Bluesbreakers and the Journal had a chance to catch up with him ahead of his performance.
Mayall formed the group back in 1963 and artists such as Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood have all appeared alongside him in what has been described as a "finishing school for blues-rock musicians".
But who would he consider to be the best of them?
"I couldn't say, there have just been so many good ones over the years," he replied.
"But the band I am playing with at the moment is one of the best that I have put together."
His former band mates read something like the who's who of British pop but when it comes to choosing his band a lot of it comes more down to luck than judgement.
He added: "A lot of luck is involved but obviously I've got a good team of people around me who can spot talent."
Now into his fifth decade of playing, the 80-year-old Mayall has no plans on retiring – or not at least while his popularity continues to be so big.
"For me nothing has changed from when I was playing in the 60s or 70s," he said. "I find playing out on stage so invigorating, people are always saying to me when are you going to stop playing but at the moment I am just having so much fun with my music.
"Plus all of my shows are continuing to sell out so I have no reason to stop playing."
In a career spanning over half a century he has released 60 albums and contributed to the blues-rock scene more than any other musician in history and continues to actively record, recently having released his first new studio album in five years, entitled A Special Life.
He reformed Bluebreakers in 2009 to tour and Mayall has a vast back-catalogue of work that he plans on using for the shows.
"I don't have one hit really just a wide variety of music that I can play. It is great for the audience though because no one show is the same."
John Mayall will be supported on the night by special guests King King, who have twice won Best Blues Band Award at the British Blues Awards.
The Glasgow four piece are led by Alan Nimmo and have critical acclaim for their first two albums.
Tickets for the concert start at £25.50 and can be purchased on 01722 434434 or at cityhallsalisbury.co.uk

扫雷群微信群二维码the primix spiral shaped mixer element is the basis of the primix static mixer heat exchangers which can be used for the inline heating and cooling of products.
because of the sophisticated construction, the primix heat exchanger takes a unique position between the current shell and tube heat exchangers. all primix heat exchangers are designed and produced to client specifications. the heat exchangers are available for the treatment of particularly high viscosity liquids.
Spiral heat exchangers - faster refresh, better mixing
扫雷群微信群二维码the design of the spiral shaped element naturally takes care of an increased heat transfer - by up to a factor 3. this is caused by the strong radial flow which causes an increase in the refresh rate on the inner walls of the process pipe.
20 to 100% more heat transfer
扫雷群微信群二维码the applied advanced connection technology (act), between the tube and mixing elements has a resistance to heat transfer which is equal to the resistance of the base material of the tube and element. due to this characteristic, the surface area of each mixing element starts to behave like an additional heat-exchanging surface, which in comparison with the conventional heat exchangers results in a 20 to 100% improved heat transfer.
Read more about this increase in heat transfer in the explanation of the operating principle of the heat exchanger.
Advantages PRIMIX heat exchanger
- Special manifold - mixer connection possible, resulting in true plug flow - this avoids product degradation
- Improved heat transfer - which results in 30 - 40% less weight
- Lower pressure drop in product and on the side of the service liquid
- Lower volumes and shorter residence times
Options and implementations of the heat exchanger
- Demountable
- Honed inflow sides
- Polished
It's all-in the design
At PRIMIX design is more. It includes the engineering and thinking through the process with the client. Clearly defining the relevant parameters and where necessary daring to ask critical questions. This with the aim of obtaining maximum performance in the process . The intended design is entirely calculated in our own PRIMIX Dynamics software and afterwards is designed in SolidWorks® . The design instructions and calculations are based on strict criteria formulated in the current industrial design standards for high pressure devices. Read more about the PRIMIX design perspective.

You should have known, that is if you are a digital marketer or part of business operating in digital platforms, that mobile has already outdid the desktop. Data released by StatCounter in November 2016 showed that more users accessed the internet via mobile devices than traditional computing devices for the month of October. There is no surprise in that really, because early in the year Google already stated that mobile searches had already surpassed desktop searches in at least 10 countries. But it is still a big deal: for starters, that's the first time it ever happened; and for businesses, that means whatever digital marketing strategies you have been doing must be reinforced on mobile.
Mobile is on the rise, perhaps faster than most have guessed. When it comes to Search Engine Optimization, more and more digital marketing agencies have been moving towards mobile-first or mobile-only strategies. There is no doubt that mobile, smartphones in particular, has changed our habits and how we live our lives. But what does this mean for businesses and branding strategies? Do you just drop the desktop and perform SEO for mobile exclusively? Mobile internet usage is impressive, but how do you maximize it without losing your other audiences.
Understanding Google's Mobile-First Policy
Google recently rolled out its mobile-first index. What does this mean? Well, Google used to crawl websites as a desktop user, but now it will crawl websites as a mobile user. Why does this matter? Not all websites are optimized for mobile — displays may be different, some links don't appear, loads slower, etc. And as you know, Google bots cannot follow links that are not there and are impatient about pages that don't load fast enough, which means your ranking might take a hit.
But mobile-first index doesn't mean your websites can't be indexed anymore. Google will still crawl them just fine. Your site will not be ranked based on mobile friendliness. In fact, Google has said that it does not expect to affect search ranking in a major way.
However, marketers advice that if you don't have a mobile site or is not optimized for mobile yet, you better do something about it.
Is Desktop SEO Dead?
Not so fast. While mobile usage is growing, it doesn't mean the desktop is done.
For one, the desktop still rules the workplace. While there has been a steady increase in the sales of laptops and mobile devices for office use, the traditional desktop is still largely preferred. One reason is that many industries have been using Windows for decades and they don't see the need to switch. Industries such as accounting, insurance, and architecture depend on Windows PCs because the software they use is simply not available on Macs.
Apart from this, eMarketer found that 80% of conversions are still taking place on desktops. It also found that desktops still account for three-quarters of retail e-commerce sales. Nearly 56% of traffic to retail sites also come from non-mobile sources. With improved business revenue as the ultimate goal, marketers must also note that consumers are also most likely to close transactions in person or via desktop. As transactions also get more complex, such as insurance or investments, people tend to make the decision on a desktop.
Understand that consumers also engage with devices differently. According to FlurryMobile, 90% of the time spent on mobile is spent on apps, not search. Consumers use their smartphones to email, chat, engage on social media, get directions or play games. This means users are still searching somewhere else, largely on desktop during working hours. That's morning to early evening, mind you.
This means that cutting the budget for desktop SEO significantly should be given a long second thought.
What Does This Mean for Businesses?
With the number of mobile users growing and the number of hours spent on smartphones increasing, it is almost very easy to conclude that a mobile-first or even a mobile-only strategy is the way to go. Certainly, your website should be optimized for mobile and you should strengthen mobile SEO. But other devices shouldn't be thrown out the window outright.
Businesses or brands need not worry too much. If you are already following the best practices for SEO, there's no need to sound the alarm. Mobile revolution may have been disruptive but your SEO strategy can still go above the changes. However, businesses need to consider doing some actions. First, ensure mobile compliance and optimization. Make sure your mobile version is working well and the design is as responsive. Second, ensure that your mobile version is equivalent to your desktop version. Should you want to make mobile the primary version, make sure it is always up to date. Finally, consider developing an app for your business just because mobile engagement deals more with apps more than searches. Find a way to have all these components work together.
Weighing on the desktop vs mobile SEO mix also requires businesses to understand their consumers better. Learn about their habits. Study your web analytics and find out when consumers visit your desktop site or mobile site and why. What motivates them? What are they looking for? This will give you an idea on how to maximize content for desktop and mobile.
In the overall marketing mix, mobile and desktop are largely and still equally important. Mobile may just run away with it all in the future, but for now, businesses must leverage the strengths and influence of each device. People still use them differently, at different times, and search engines crawl through them still. The best SEO practices must be observed across devices and platforms, they should not discriminate, and brands must know how to maximize the use of each device wisely.

ACORN employees caught in those undercover videos advising a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute on how to break the law acted unprofessionally and inappropriately, but did nothing illegal, an independent report has found.
The report, by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, recommends nine steps for ACORN to take in order to regain public trust in the wake of the scandal, including that it return to its "core competency - community organizing and citizen engagement empowerment, with related services."
On the key question of potential illegal conduct, it finds:
While some of the advice and counsel given by ACORN employees and volunteers was clearly inappropriate and unprofessional, we did not find a pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staff; in fact, there is no evidence that action, illegal or otherwise, was taken by any ACORN employee on behalf of the videographers.
Harshbarger also notes that the videos were sometimes less than perfect representations of the events they depict. He writes:
The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O'Keefe's and Ms. Giles's comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.
In the wake of the scandal, Congress voted to cut off all federal funds from ACORN. In response, the group is suing the US government, arguing that the measure is a bill of attainder, and therefore unconstitutional.
Robert Borosage, of the progressive Campaign for America's Future, responded to the report's findings by declaring that "an organization that has done remarkable work organizing and empowering the poorest Americans was targeted and slurred by a right-wing hit team, then persecuted by legislators who should have known better."

The past ten days have been rough. It started last Tuesday night with a midnight trip to the ER, a dose of racemic epinephrine, and a round of steroids. Jack had wandered into our room, gasping for breath, a nasty bout of croup with stridor having developed in the few hours since he'd fallen asleep.
By Monday, we'd added a trip to Urgent Care plus four rapid strep tests (all negative, thank goodness!), and one pretty sick mama.
Wednesday brought with it three fevers (and no school), and one sleepless night for Sophie, Mom, and Dad. By Thursday, I'd lost my voice (and pretty much all of my energy), and we rounded out the day with a trip to the pediatrician to rule out strep (again) and an ear infection.
There is still a lot of snot and a lot of coughing in our household, and not a lot of sleep. The fevers keep coming and going, and I don't think anyone has eaten a square meal in over a week.
BUT (and this is a VERY big but), if coughs, and colds, and fevers, and runny noses, and yes, even a trip to the ER for croup is our worst week…then I cannot help but count us all very lucky.
Our road to parenthood was not an easy one. The before, during, and after of my pregnancy involved a lot of doctors, a lot of medicine, and a lot of hope. The photos below are a constant reminder of how far these little people have come, and the fact that their little bodies are strong enough to fend off these viruses makes me one very grateful mama.
On the top left there is Henry, still eleven weeks before a baby is supposed to be out in this world on his own, barely two pounds, and working to breathe with a collapsed lung.
And then there's Jack, working hard just to open his eyes a few days after being born.
And finally Sophie. Rocking her shades from the from her phototherapy treatment for jaundice.
It would be days before we held Henry, weeks before the three of them were reunited with each other, and months before they came home.
So I'll take the sniffles, the sleepless nights, and the multiple trips to the doctor if it means I get to have these three happy humans in my arms, at home, every night. It was a long time coming, and I am just so very grateful that they are here.

Q: I am new to Windows 7, and I really like the look and feel as well as the speed of the new operating system. However, I am apprehensive about learning to navigate another computer system. What can I do to learn the ropes as fast as possible?
A: The features and functions of Windows 7 are similar to those in Windows XP; therefore, you are already familiar with these settings and tools. The trick is learning how to navigate Windows 7's redesigned menus. Microsoft constantly studies the way users interact with its operating system and strives to improve the system to make it easier to use, and that is a good thing. Unfortunately, this means we must periodically learn how to navigate a new system and figure out where the Windows settings and controls reside.
If you are willing to take on an advanced step, this tip may help. Microsoft has embedded a shortcut to all of the significant features and functions in Windows 7. Microsoft calls this GodMode. This mode is used internally by many Microsoft programmers and staff to quickly manage their Windows settings and controls.
To set up GodMode in Windows 7, create a new folder on your desktop by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting New, Folder. Next, give the new folder the following name:
You can change the folder's name two ways, as follows. The easiest way to change the folder's name is to select the text under the folder and type the new name. Or, if you prefer, right-click on the folder, select Properties from the dropdown menu, and under the General tab type a new name in the text box area next to the folder icon.
The folder will change in appearance from the default blank folder icon to the GodMode icon shown in the upper-left corner of the screen in the previous column.
Thereafter, when you double-click on the GodMode icon, a window will open containing a large collection of the popular controls, tools, features and functions in Windows 7, including all Control Panel Tools, Administrative Tools, Gadgets and much more. Because this window will allow you to view all the Windows 7 settings and controls in a single location, this might help you transition to Windows 7 a little easier. A portion of the GodMode window is shown below.

In December I published my list of Des Moines Essentials—all of my favorite places to eat, drink, shop and explore in Iowa's capital city. As promised, I'm expanding upon that collection with a little more detail and some recommendations from the places I love.
Since it's typically -10 degrees here these days, what better to start with than my favorite Des Moines coffee shops and cafés. These cozy haunts are the perfect place to grab breakfast with a friend or settle in with a latte and a good book:
La Mie (Shops At Roosevelt, 841 42nd Street)
For the most delicious French pastries you've ever seen this side of the Mississippi, you'll want to stop by La Mie. Fair warning: if you're planning on visiting for Saturday brunch, they get busy quick. Get there early.
My favorites: Fromage omelet, ham & cheese croissant or grilled brie sandwich
Mars Cafe (2318 University Avenue)
Mars was my first coffee shop love in Des Moines and it's yet to be dethroned. While I no longer live in the Drake neighborhood, I still try to make it back to Mars for some quality time in my favorite window booth every once and awhile.
My favorites: the Sputnik, Mar's signature latteContinue Reading…

#alwaysfree: Thanks to the generous support of the City of Dothan and all of our members, general admission to WMA is always free!
Please take a photo to remember your visit! (Just don't use a flash. Over time, flashes will damage the artwork.)
It's so easy to park at WMA! There is a lot on the south side of the building and additional parking at the Dothan Civic Center across the street from the museum. It's also an easy stroll from downtown shops and restaurants, and there's a bike rack out front for those who prefer to arrive on two wheels.
WMA is handicap accessible. There is a ramp at the main entrance (facing Museum Avenue) and an elevator to access all galleries and the studio.
We love children and babies and think it's never to early to expose your wee ones to art. Strollers are permitted in the galleries, but please take care to navigate safely around the art.
Prefer to take a guided tour? We've got you covered! WMA's art educator, Amanda Holcomb, can arrange museum tours and art activities for groups of all sizes and ages. More information here.
We love all four-legged creatures at WMA, but some must be relegated to the artwork. Only service animals are permitted in the galleries. (Well-behaved pets are more than welcome to attend Screen on the Green!)
Can I touch the art? Um, no. Well, sometimes. Mostly never. Look for signs and instructions.
No weapons are permitted at WMA.

Reviewing some amazing recordings from Daniel Kobialka's past today. Some of these pieces are going to get a release, so stay tuned!
Chris Cline
Holy moly! Time for updates!
Where to begin? So many projects have come through the doors. We've been busy with a bunch of different artists… some local, some not so local. On the local scene, you should check out Garrett T. Capps and Los Lonely Hipstaz. On the not so local scene, The Foreign Resort continue to tear things up across Europe and the States. Daniel Kobialka is putting the finishing touches on some original Porgy and Bess arrangements by James Balentine… this album is sure to be a doozy once completed!
More to come soon!
The latest from the Saarinens!
Howdy citizens! The latest from The Saarinens has finally been released! Mastered at Wonder Of Sound by Chris Cline for vinyl and CD/digital.
Oh Geez! Updates Anyone?
It's been awhile since we've checked in… is that bad, or good? I guess it depends. We have a lot of updates to make, and a couple of specials in the works as well. Seeing how we are becoming one of San Antonio's brighter spots in the recording community, we should push our growth a bit further with some limited special rates. Stay tuned for more!
Ever heard of Teddy Wilson?
Well you will soon enough. Our own Chris Cline just finished restoring an old jazz performance of his that's expected to hit the shelves and digital retailers the first quarter of 2014 for the first time ever! Stay tuned for more details. In the meant time click on Teddy to be redirected to his Wikipedia entry!
We have switched technologies!
Everything will be back in order soon, just give me some time! We hope you enjoy your stay.
Whoa! Here comes the Jazz!
How I want to share this with you!!! But you'll have to wait for names as we have some amazing, unreleased recordings that are being painstaking restored at this time. More to come later… and before and after samples as well!

Last night Hollywood royalty were out decked out to the nines for the first major award ceremony of 2018 (and the after-parties!).
One young lady who looked tres chic was Zoey Deutch (Before I fall), with the assistance of celebrity makeup artist Lauren Andersen.
The Inspiration
"As Zoey was dressed in a dark color, we went for a feminine lip to soften up her look and a strong brow to compliment her black attire."
The Beauty Breakdown
To prepare the skin, Anderson applied Dior Capture Youth Age-Delay Advanced Creme along with Dior Capture Glow Booster Age-Delay Illuminating Serum.
Diorskin Forever Undercover in #014 Fair Almond was used as Zoey's base. Then for a natural highlight, Diorskin Nude Air Luminzer Powder in #001 was applied to the cheeks.
To achieve a strong brow, Anderson used Diorshow Brow Styler #001 Universal Brown.
She applied Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow #647 Undress over the eyes for a subtle look and finished the look using Diorshow Pump'N'Volume Mascara #090 Black Pump for bold lashes.
To soften Zoey's look, her lips with lined with Dior Contour #169 Grege then Rouge Dior Lipstick #169 Grege 1947 was applied to finish off the look (LOVE this lip shade!).
What do you think about Zoey Deutch's look?

text: The new crankbait Sculpo by Molix include all the most important features that an angler search in a lure with high technical profile: attention to details and finishing, unique action, fishing functionality and innovation.The Sculpo is a "low profile" crankbait with a unique wobbling action obtained after long and accurate tests on internal weight disposition. This feature together with the innovative lip design, make this lure swimming smooth and snagless even among the heaviest cover. The lip is build with a new high density PolyCarbonate which give more durability to the lure even during retrieves under rocky and hard bottoms. The Sculpo is available in MR and DR versions, silent or rattlin. The "rattlin" version is build with glass-ceramic balls that in combination with the special resin for the body, emit medium frequency vibrations that are easy to be be catches by the fish. The "silent" version, without rattles, is studied for all those heavy pressured waters and finicky fish. But the main feature of the Sculpo is the innovative B.E.S. (Balanced Emersion System) a combination between internal weights and volume that allow it to trigger more bites during the natural buoyancy of the lure. This technique is made by stop and go during retrieve and results perfect with all predators that hold right inside structures or ultra heavy cover light submerged threes, piers or any other natural and human structure.

Title: The Wish Booklet: Fashions 1831-1835, Vol. II
Author: Susan Bonsall Sirkis
Publication Date: Booklet:1966
Publisher: The Wish Booklets, Williamsburg, VA
Page Count: 38
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 11" x 8 1/2"
PATTERN RATING: You get a huge variety of patterns all appropriate for the time period. All the pattern pieces are full-sized, marked with seam allowances and have other markings to aid the seamstress(though no grainline marking).
INSTRUCTION RATING: these aren't basic books for beginners - she expects you to know the terms she using and to have experience putting garments together, so instructions are fairly brief. She provides lovely illustrations of finished garments but not a lot of illustration for getting there.
SUMMARY- Patterns fit Dolls 10" Inches Tall. You get instructions for carving a wood doll of the correct proportions. If you haven't run across Susan Sirkis' work before, you've really missed out. They're called "Wish Books" because everyone who reads them wishes they were longer! She does meticulous research. You should be able to see from the Table of Contents that she covers a lot of fashion for a 5-year period!
You can still get Susan's books directly at www.susansirkis.com/wishbooks.htm at $7.95 postage paid - far cheaper than what e-bay sellers are asking for them(usually about double - and you pay for postage on top of that!). They are well worth the investment if you like dressing your dollies in vintage styles!
