A UK dive boat's malfunctioning GPS & engine breakdown were the cause of two divers being lost in fog near the wreck of the ship 'Alster'.
Humber Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre was called by a dive vessel at just after 1530 on a recent summer afternoon. They were told that the vessel's engine and GPS had broken and it couldn't find the two divers who were believed to be on the surface in black wets suits and marker buoys. The situation was not helped by thick fog that reduced visibility to 50 metres.
Humber coastguard broadcast a message to all vessels in the area asking them if they could help by heading to the last known location of the divers. Meanwhile the RNLI lifeboat based at Cromer made its way to the scene.
An hour later, the dive vessel 'Manta' contacted Humber Coastguard to say they had found the divers safe and well and were on their way back to shore at Sea Palling.
Humber Coastguard Watch Manager Graham Dawson said:
"The dive boat did exactly the right thing by calling us as soon as it realised that it couldn't get back to the divers on the surface. Good communications at sea are vital in this situation and that's why the coastguard recommend a fixed DSC VHF set, 406 MHz EPIRB with GPS and 121.5 homing function, powerful torch and appropriate flares."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

This invention discloses a novel odor-removing and deodorizing composition which comprises as its effective component a hydrolysate of keratin material. The hydrolysis of keratin material may be effected by any known methods using acid, alkali or enzyme. The composition according to the invention can be used in any known forms by treating the keratin hydrolysate to be an odor-removing base by usual manners. The composition effectively acts on mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide with which it has been considered difficult to remove their odors and shows little mucous stimulativeness.
1. An odor-removing and deodorizing composition comprising:
(a) 0.1 to 10% of a keratin hydrolysate having an average molecular weight of about 200-5000 which is obtained by subjecting a material selected from the group consisting of wool, animal hair, feathers, nails, horns, hooves and scales to a hydrolysis step with an inorganic acid or an inorganic alkali, at an appropriate temperature for sufficient time to obtain said keratin hydrolysate; said acid hydrolysis being carried out at between about 120� to 130� C., and said alkaline hydrolysis being carried out about 60� C.; and
(b) an additive.
2. The odor removing and deodorizing composition of claim 1 in liquid form, wherein an acidic or alkaline material is added to obtain a pH of between about 0.5-10.
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the pH is between 1 and 8.
4. The composition of claim 3 wherein the pH is between 1 and 3.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said additive is a solvent, surface active agent, aerosol, acidic or alkaline material, bactericide, perfume, colorant, gel or gel-like material or inorganic powder.
6. A method of removing odor from a source of offensive odor comprising exposing said offensive odor source to an effective amount of the composition of claim 1.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the acid hydrolysis is carried out at between about 120� to 130� C. for about 5 hours.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the alkaline hydrolysis is carried out at about 60� C. for about 18 hours.
9. The method of claim 8 further comprising prior to the alkaline hydrolysis step:
subjecting said material to a puffing step; and
cutting said puffed material into pieces.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the odor from a source of offensive odor is an offensive odor generated by the composition of thioglycol contained in chemicals used in the process of permanent waving as well as in keratin in the hair.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 416,618, filed Sept. 10, 1982 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an odor-removing and deodorizing composition and more particularly, to a composition of the just-mentioned type comprising hydrolysates of keratin materials.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Offensive odors emitted from refuse boxes, water closets and the like involved in places of human activity such as, for example, ordinary homes, business facilities and public service and particularly those of mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide and the like which have been considered difficult in removing their odors are highly desired to be advantageously removed or masked and deodorized. Also during the course of permanent waving, there is generated a bad smell such as of mercaptan ascribed to the decomposition of thioglycol contained in chemicals and keratin in the hair on the way of the treatment, often causing one to feel objectionably.
A number of methods of removing the offensive odor or smell have heretofore been proposed and may broadly be classified into four categories including an odor-removing neutralization method, an odor-removing adsorption method, an odor-removing masking method and an odor-removing biochemical method. However, these methods have all the following disadvantages and are not necessarily satisfactory.
This is a method of neutralizing acidic or basic materials giving off bad odor by application with basic or acidic odor-removing bases. This method is effective for local removal of odor but has the disadvantage, when the odor over a wide sphere is removed, that a large quantity of odor-removing bases is required and the efficacy of bases does not develop unless excess neutralization is effected, thus this method being not practically useful in most cases. Moreover, the vital drawback of the method is that neutral offensive odors, e.g. a putrid smell ascribed to mercaptan, cannot be removed.
This is a method of adsorbing offensive odors on porous materials such as active carbon but has the disadvantages that the diffusion of offensive odors into adsorbents is rate-limiting and the adsorbent does not have effect on removal of odor over a wide area, that it takes long time before an adsorption equilibrium is reached and it is not necessarily easy for the equilibrium system to lower the concentration below a threshold value of offensive odor, and that adsorbents do not show activity with respect to all the types of offensive odors.
This is a method of merely masking offensive odors with perfumes and thus the origin of offensive odor is not removed substantially, so that this method is not a substantial odor-removing method.
This is a method of preventing emission of bad smells by lowering the activity of microorganisms with use of bacteriostatics or bactericides, but the method is preventive and does not give any effect on once emitted offensive odors.
As having described above, the currently employed odor-removing methods are not satisfactory for all origins of offensive odors and particulary for mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide. In this connection, there have recently been reported deodorizing bases which are effective for mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide but almost all of these bases are highly stimulative against mucous membranes such as of eyes, nose, throat and the like and cannot be applied actually.
Under these circumstances, the present invention have made a study to find out odor-removing bases which effectively act on mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide with which it has been considered difficult to remove their odors or deodorize and which show little mucous stimulativeness and found that hydrolysates of keratin materials satisfy the above requirement.
That is, the present invention provides a novel odor-removing and deodorizing composition which comprises as its effective component a hydrolysate of keratin material.
The hydrolysates of keratin material (hereinafter referred to as "keratin hydrolysate(s)) used in the present invention are obtained by hydrolyzing keratin materials.
The starting keratin materials are, for example, animal hairs, human hair, feathers, nails, horns, hooves, scales and the like, among which wool, human hair and feathers are most preferable. These keratin materials may be subjected to the oxidation or reduction reaction as they are, or may be cut or reduced into pieces or may be subjected to pretreatments such as washing and defatting as desired.
The hydrolysis of keratin material may be effected by any known methods without limitation. Examples of the methods are as follows.
Examples of acids include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrobromic acid and the like, and organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid and the like.
The hydrolysates obtained by the acid hydrolysis do not undergo any changes other than hydrolysis at polypeptide chains of keratin, so that better results are obtained than in the case of hydrolysis with alkali.
Examples of alkalis include inorganic alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium carbonate, sodium silicate, borax and the like.
Examples of enzymes include acidic proteinases such as pepsin, protease A, protease B and the like, and neutral proteinases such as papain, promeline, thermolycin, trypsin, pronase, chymotrypsin and the like.
The hydrolysates obtained by these hydrolysis reactions should preferable have an average molecular weight of from 200 to 5,000. The disulfide bonds in the keratin hydrolysates should favorably be left in amounts as great as possible. To this end, it is recommended to use a keratin material of high purity and to effect the hydrolysis under mild conditions.
The odor-removing and deodorizing composition according to the present invention can be used in any known forms by treating the keratin hydrolysate to be an odor-removing base by usual manners, including liquids obtained by dissolving the hydrolysate in solvents or emulsifying it using surface active agents; aerosols obtained by filling the liquids in a spray container along with an injector; gel-like solids mixed with natural or synthetic gel bases such as agar-agar, carrageenan, polyethylene glycol and the like; solids in which the hydrolysate is absorbed in paper or porous materials or is incorporated in synthetic resins such as polyethylene; and powders in which the hydrolysate is admixed with powdery, inorganic materials such as silica, perlite and the like.
If necessary, solvents, surface active agents, acidic materials such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and the like, alkaline materials such as sodium hydroxide, triethanolamine, basic amino acids and the like, bactericides, perfumes; colorants and the like may be further added to the composition of the invention.
In the production of the odor-removing and deodorizing agents, there are used as a solvent alcohols or glycols such as ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and the like, or deionized water. Examples of the surface active agents include anionic active agents such as higher alcohol sulfates, alkylarylsulfonates, soaps of fatty acids or resin acids, polyoxyethylenealkyl or alkylphenyl ether sulfates, alkylsulfosuccinates, alkylsulfonates, α-olefinsulfonates and the like, nonionic active agents such as polyoxyethylenealkyl phenyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene stearate, glycerol fatty acid esters, ethylene oxide adducts or castor oil or lanolin and the like, and anionic and amphoteric active agents such as quaternary ammonium salts, higher alcohol betaine and the like. Examples of the bactericides (antiseptics) include parahydroxyalkyl benzoates (parabens), sorbic acid or its potassium salt, dehydroacetic acid or its sodium salt, sodium propionate, and anionic and amphoteric active agents.
The amount of the odor-removing and deodorizing composition of the invention varies depending on the intensity and type of offensive odor and is determined so that the concentration of the keratin hydrolysate is generally in the range of over 0.01 wt% (hereinafter referred to simply as %), inclusive, preferably over 0.1%, of the system to be treated. Accordingly, the amount of the keratin hydrolysate in the odor-removing and deodorizing composition is in the range of 0.1-10%, preferably 0.5-5%.
The odor-removing and deodorizing composition of the invention can be used over a wide range of pH by adjusting with acidic or alkaline materials to a pH of 0.5-10, preferably 1-8. Accordingly, when the composition is adjusted in pH to an acidic range of, for example, 1-3, it is possible to remove not only offensive odors of mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide but also the odor of ammonia.
The present invention is described by way of references and examples, which should not be construed as limiting the present invention thereto.
(a) 10 g of wool fibers were immersed in 300 g of a 75% phophoric acid aqueous solution and hydrolyzed at a temperature of 120�-130� C. for 5 hours. The reaction solution was cooled and filtered to remove insoluble matters therefrom, after which 4-5 times by volume of water was added and insoluble matters were further removed by centrifugation. Then, calcium carbonate or barium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH to 6.7, followed by collecting the resulting precipitate by filtration and drying to obtain 8.0 g of a hydrolysate with a molecular weight of 1,500.
(b) 100 g of feathers were heated in an autoclave by means of a superheated steam of 6 kg/cm2 and 240� C. for 6 minutes and released abruptly into the air to obtain a porous puffed product. This puffed product was reduced into pieces and admixed with 3 liters of 0.3N caustic soda, followed by hydrolysis at 60� C. for 18 hours, neutralizing with 1N hydrochloric acid and filtering the reaction solution. The resulting filtrate was subjected to the ultrafiltration using a membrane with a fractional molecular weight of 500 to remove sodium chloride therefrom, with the aqueous solution of the keratin hydrolysate being concentrated, followed by freeze drying to obtain 7.2 g of the keratin hydrolysate. The molecular weight of the hydrolysate determined by the gel filtration technique was 1,800.
An odor-removing and deodorizing composition of the following composition was prepared and its odor-removing effect was examined.
The odor-removing effect was determined as follows. That is, 0.05 ml of a methyl mercaptan standard solution* was placed in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask as an offensive odor source, into which was immediately dropped 0.5 ml of the composition, followed by tightly sealing and keeping at 20� C. for 5 minutes. Then, the concentration of the methyl mercaptan was measured by the Kitagawa detector tube and after standing for 5 minutes, the odor in the flask was evaluated by 5 panel members.

At this very moment several Automobili Lamborghini Spa test drivers are putting some hard kilometers on what is to become the latest evolution of the Lamborghini flagship, the Murciélago.
Currently the V12 super car boasts 580 Bhp, but with the Gallardo at 500 Bhp (and probably 520 for the 2006 MY) the gap between the 'entry' model and the flagship was judged too small, therefore a more powerful Murciélago is being tested right now.
With an increase in displacement of 300c up to a massive 6.5 Liter, power output was measured at nearly 650 Bhp, with a matching torque of 516 Lbs. Ft. (from 479 Lbs. Ft. on the current model).
Some sources state this more powerful Murciélago would be introduced as the GT model, with a revised front spoiler and rear diffuser, but it could very well be these are the specs for the MY 2006 Murciélago, what is certain is that there are some mild redesigns foreseen for next years model, especially concerning the front spoiler and the air intakes on the side of the car, probably even some new design for the wheels could be presented, although the Roadster wheels do look stunning on the Murciélago. However, some owners reacted to the fact that the Gallardo uses 19 inch wheels while the flagship is receiving 'only' 18 inch models, but there isn't any confirmation the V12 will also be using 19 inch alloy in the near future.
I would imagine that a Murciélago GT would be a much more aggressive looking car, like the Diablo GT in the Nineties, so possibly the 'SV' suffix could be more in line with the increase in power and the mild redesign ... we'll have to wait and see what Sant'Agata will use to compete against Ferrari's Enzo.

US: Willamette Valley Vineyards posts drop in profits
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 1 April 2009
Willamette Valley Vineyards posted a drop in 2008 profits today (1 April) as a result of increased expenses and a reduction in gross profits.
For the 12-month period to 31 December, profits at the company dropped by 58% to US$708,594, while revenue decreased 4% to $16.05bn.
Gross margin for 2008 stood at $7.81bn compared to $8.28bn in 2007.
The reduction in gross profits accounted for around one third of the change from a year earlier and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for about two thirds of the unfavourable change, the company said.
The firm was equally affected by inventory shrinkage of purchased wines and glassware for resale through Bacchus Fine Wines, outages of three Pinot Noir products due to high demand in 2007 and reduced sales of Willamette Valley Vineyards' wines.
Management said it has made staffing and process changes to minimise shrinkage, increase the production of Pinot Noir products and improve the sales of winery produced wines.
A new key manager reporting to the CEO was added in December to supervise inventory, purchasing, shipping logistics, and Bacchus delivery in an effort to reduce the costs and inventory issues, Willamette said.

I had a spelling error in my reply card and I wish they would have had spell check so I wouldnt have missed the errror. Now I have to reorder them from somewhere else. I know this was my fault, but I wish thier program double checked my work. They would have been great if there wasnt a mistake. They also wouldn't send me a sample copy to my house.

Albatros D.Va Biplane Fighter (1917)
The Albatros D.Va was a variant on the D.V series of German aircraft.
The Albatros D.I of 1916 proved instrumental in bringing air superiority back into the favor of the German Empire during World War 1 thanks to her stellar rate-of-climb, aerodynamically refined design and lethal pairing of synchronized machine guns. However, as technology drove events throughout the war, the aircraft lived a relatively short operational tenure before being outclassed by the latest offerings from the Triple Entente. The D.II was unveiled a short time later that year as a slightly improved model with a better rate-of-climb, a lowered upper wing assembly for improved pilot visibility out-of-the-cockpit and generally retained much of the original's successful design. The D.III followed in late 1916 but was something of a departure from the preceding forms in its use of "Vee" struts to join the upper and lower wing assemblies (earning it the nickname of "V-Strutter" from the British). This revision went on to see severe structural issues, particularly during high stress moves such as diving, for the remaining life of the series to the point that her pilots became very critical of the type. Attempts were made to rectify this deficiency by strengthening wing spars but a true solution was never formalized. By this point in the war, the D.III was noted as less maneuverable compared to her newer contemporaries - a lethal draw in an aerial dogfight where positioning was everything.
To fulfill a new German requirement for an "improved D.III", Albatros delivered its D.V model (the sequential "D.IV" designation was used on a cancelled Albatros fighter development) which became a lighter version of their D.III with a slightly lowered upper wing among other refinements. However, the structural issue remained and maneuverability was not improved to the point that even fabled German ace, Manfred von Richthofen, penciled a scathing review of the mount - citing it as even inferior to the D.III which it was to replace. Regardless, German authorities were desperate for fighters and ordered 900 of the type.
Albatros engineers returned to the drawing boards with their D.V to attempt another improved form. This work gave birth to the D.Va off-shoot which was given revised wing assemblies that were reinforced with heavier ribbing and strong spars against a stronger fuselage. Cabling was modified to create a more responsive fighter platform. However, these changes led to an increase in operating weight so a high-compression Mercedes D.IIIau engine was installed to help counter the gains. Despite the promising work, the aircraft's structural issues were never fully ironed out and the new engine did little to help improved performance and maneuverability against the latest fighters being fielded by Britain and France.
The German Empire was quick to order the D.Va to help stock its depleted aircraft inventories and find more modern replacements for its outmoded Fokker Dr.I and Pfalz D.III series fighters. The D.Va was delivered to German aerodrome units beginning in October of 1917 and a total of 1,662 were ultimately purchased. The type soldiered on with front line units up until the end of the war to which hundreds were still in active service in the final year (1918). On paper, the D.Va was formally replaced by the Fokker D.VII and the D.Va became the last of the "D-series" fighters for Albatros - a series that started with so much promise back in 1916 and ultimately doomed to history due to its inherent limitations by the end of the war - such was the power of technology in World War 1 where gains made one month could be lost just as quickly.
In the post-war world, the D.Va stocked the inventory of the newly-formed Polish Air Force. Beyond the German Empire and Poland, there were no other global operators of the D.Va. Only two D.Va series aircraft survived the war and are in the charge of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Australian War Memorial respectively.

How is Rick Perry Handling A Phony Indictment? He Took This AWESOME Mug Shot And Then WENT FOR ICE CREAM
Liberal Democrats have filed a joke of a politically motivated indictment against Rick Perry for threatening to veto the funding of the Public Integrity Office because it was run by a drunk driving DA who was so sloshed she had to be restrained in custody. This isn't a grey area, it's not iffy — Rick Perry did absolutely nothing wrong and the indictment against him is the criminalization of political differences. Anybody who tells you differently is either ignorant or a liar who's deliberately trying to mislead you.
In any case, Perry had to go in and get a mugshot for this farce, but Perry being Perry, it turned out to be pretty AWESOME.
So, was Rick Perry a wreck after being unfairly threatened with jail time by liberals just for doing his job?
Apparently not because he WENT OUT FOR ICE CREAM AFTERWARDS.

No idea if this is good or bad, but it's always good to see someone experimenting and breaking from the standard practice. I'm intrigued and will likely find myself watching more O's games on MLB.tv than I would have otherwise.

Dunedin City Council manager quits
Relevant offers
Dunedin City Council has announced another management casualty as alleged in-house vehicle fraud is investigated by Police.
Long-standing Group Manager Regulatory Services, Kevin Thompson, has quit.
Thompson is the second manager in a week to resign as police and the Serious Fraud Office investigate alleged fraud of millions of ratepayer dollars from the DCC Citifleet unit.
Last week, the council's general manager of infrastructure and networks Tony Avery quit, falling on his sword but stressing he was not aware or involved in the alleged fraud.
Both Avery and Thompson had a responsibility for Citifleet within their respective roles.
Thompson, who had worked for the DCC since January 1997, was the group manager with oversight of Citifleet, DCC chief executive Sue Bidrose said as she announced the resignation this afternoon.
In the findings of a preliminary investigation by Deloitte, commissioned by the council, there was no evidence Thompson was involved, she said.
Unlike Avery, who is staying on until next March, Thompson leaves next month.
Bidrose said Thompson is on leave but his last day is October 3.
Deloitte found evidence of around $1.5m loss of profits for Citifleet as a result of alleged fraudulent transactions, including the sale of 123 council vehicles carried out over the past decade.
Fairfax broke the news on June 3 that the Citifleet unit was under review and that its then team leader Brent Bachop had died suddenly at the end of May.
His death has been referred to the coroner.

Reese Witherspoon has insisted "it's cool" to be a "good girl".
The 35-year-old actress was honoured at the annual MTV Movie Awards last night for her consistent film success, picking up the coveted Generation Award.
The beautiful star, who is best known for her roles in Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama, revealed she feels proud to be considered one of Hollywood's "good" girls in her acceptance speech.
Reese insists that hitting headlines for drama isn't always "cool".
"I get it, girls, that it's cool to be a bad girl. But it is possible to make it in Hollywood without doing a reality show. When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed. And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hide your face, people!" she said in her acceptance speech. "So, for all the girls out there, it's totally possible to be a good girl. I'm going to try to make it cool."
Reese's Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson presented her with the prestigious award. The British star, who picked up five gongs for his vampire franchise film Twilight, joked that he dabbled in secret liaisons with his gorgeous co-star.
"I did f*ck you," he joked.
Reese's honest and heartfelt speech touched fellow actress Julianne Hough. The blonde star took to her personal Twitter page after the event on Sunday evening to congratulate Reese on being a great role model.
"LOVE Reese Witherspoon!!!!!" she gushed. "Good Girls do exist and CAN make it in "Hollywood"! :) Thx for being a great idol! And one of mine! :) (sic)."
