Specialized filters for flue gas purification in power industry.
Filters of FRA-С series are primarily intended for purification of ash flying particles, emitted to atmosphere with flue gases at combustion of solid fuel (coal, biofuel)in furnaces of operating industrial and public boiler units.
Cyclofilters are designed and adjusted to operation conditions at environment temperature of up to 260°С.
Peculiarity of these plants is that their cylindrical case, vertical position of filtration bags and their regeneration with compressed air.
The advantage of cyclofilter lies in two-stage purification, as the apparatus presents a hybrid of cyclone and bag filter.
The structure of cyclofilter includes a "pure air" filtration chamber, conical hopper and filtration bag regeneration system. The filtration chamber is assembled of several cylinder parts, in which the bags of circular section are placed vertically. Ash-laden flue gases are supplied tangentially in the lower broader part.
Flue gases may be let out of the "pure air" chamber at any angle to their inlet.
Operation principle
Flue gases are supplied to the filtration chamber.
In cyclofilters gases are supplied to the cyclone part, where the ash particles are rejected to the case wall and discharged in the storage due to centrifugal force, developed at the flow progressive rotation.
Smaller particles deposit on the filtration bag outer surface and are removed with short impulses of compressed air, which is supplied to inner bag cavity through Venturi nozzle from the holes of blowing tubes.
PPS, PI or PTFE bags may be applied depending on the flue gases temperature. The frames are coated against corrosion or produced of stainless steel.

Breaking New Ground in Gas Detection
Work on world class new facility for Crowcon Detection Instruments commences at Milton Park, Didcot, UK
Gas detection specialist Crowcon today celebrated the official ground breaking for its new 40,000 square foot facility at the prestigious Milton Park in Didcot, UK.
Having outgrown its current headquarters location in Abingdon, the Milton Park facility will house all existing functions as well as provide extensive customer training and product demonstration facilities, an additional 30% of manufacturing space and a full service calibration laboratory.
As he took charge of the first shovel-load of earth at the site, Mike Ophield, Managing Director of Crowcon, said: "Following two years of planning I am really delighted to see this facility reach the ground breaking stage. I would like to thank the combined team from Crowcon and MEPC for bringing us so smoothly to this exciting first step".
"As we are an international company, we are fortunate that Milton Park is both a hub for science and innovation and an excellent location with great transport links", Mike continued. "But, in selecting a site, it was also very important for us to find a location where we could retain our highly-valued workforce and continue our commitment to local employment. As Milton Park is only five miles from our current location we are pleased to have achieved this. With this investment we are demonstrating our confidence in the future of the Crowcon gas detection business worldwide."
Andrew Barlow, Commercial Director at MEPC, added: "This is great news for Oxfordshire's growth story. We have worked closely with Crowcon to design a bespoke building which will combine modern production facilities alongside contemporary office accommodation. Together with the first-class setting and amenities on the Park, the new premises will provide an excellent environment for staff and visitors alike. This is part of an exciting development programme already underway on Milton Park's Enterprise Zone land."
Completion and relocation of current staff and equipment is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2014.

SANA, Yemen — Before the war, the Officers Club in downtown Sana was a prime recreation destination, known for its pool and garden cafe.
Now, like much of Sana, the Yemeni capital, its bombed-out remnants are controlled by gun-wielding rebels from the group known as the Houthis. Dressed in ragtag uniforms and brimming with Islamist fervor, they pointed out holes from airstrikes and the rubble that had once been the Police Academy.
Still, they insisted that their seizure of the capital had been good for Yemen.
"There was too much corruption and looting before," said Masoud Saad, 19, who had dropped out of middle school to become a fighter. "We wanted to present the true religion of God in a correct way."
Once a provincial militant movement in the mountains of northern Yemen, the Houthis surged to prominence after they seized control of the country's northwest in 2014. Since then, they have pushed the national government into exile and set off a new Middle Eastern war in which they are in the cross hairs of an intensive bombardment campaign by Saudi Arabia and a coalition of Arab countries.
Now they are struggling to govern in the middle of a war that has ground to a destructive stalemate.
In an interview in his car, because the Defense Ministry headquarters had been bombed, Brig. Gen. Sharaf Luqman, a spokesman for Houthi-allied military units, acknowledged that the front lines had scarcely moved in the past year.
"We have lost everything, our infrastructure, and we have nothing left to lose," he said. "Now it is a long war of attrition."
The Houthis' control of such key territory has made them essential to international efforts to end the conflict, leaving policy makers and negotiators struggling to figure out what they want. And the group's anti-American stance rankles Washington, which used to count on the Yemeni government as an ally against Al Qaeda and has aided Saudi Arabia in its military campaign against the rebels.
The rebels' slogan is spray-painted on walls and checkpoints throughout their territory: "God is great. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse on the Jews. Victory for Islam."
The Houthi movement began as a religious revival in the 1990s among Zaydi Muslims, an Arab religious minority in northern Yemen who sought to push back against efforts by Saudi Arabia to spread its fundamentalist version of Sunni Islam.
The group takes its name from its founder, Hussein Badr Eddin al-Houthi, who was killed by Yemeni forces in 2004. His followers launched an insurgency against the government, and developed as a guerrilla force in a series of civil wars.
That background of insurgency rooted in backwater parts of the Arab world's poorest state forged the group into a strong fighting force but gave it few skilled politicians, intellectuals or technocrats — a weakness glaringly apparent during a recent visit by New York Times journalists in Sana.
Much of the Houthis' administration relies on civil servants who chafe under their control and on followers of a former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has allied with them.
Further impeding their efforts at governance is the Saudi bombardment, which has gravely damaged an already weak economy and infrastructure.
In interviews during a recent trip to Yemen, Houthi leaders and fighters described themselves as "revolutionaries" in the mold of Hezbollah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza, saying their aim was to cleanse the country of corrupt leaders they considered beholden to foreign powers. In describing their goals, they spouted beliefs that often clashed with their behavior.
"I saw that they stood with justice and the oppressed," said Majid Ali, who dropped out of a Sana university to join the Houthis when they seized the capital. "The goal was not to take control, but to help the oppressed and the weak."
But their enemies in Yemen and Saudi Arabia insist that the Houthis are a dangerous proxy force being used by Iran to expand its influence and challenge Saudi influence.
Analysts and diplomats who follow Yemen say the reality is somewhere in between. While commonly considered Shiite, the Houthis' Zaydi sect differs significantly from Iran's official Shiite creed, and historically ties between the Houthis and Iran were not strong.
But their shared hatred for Saudi Arabia has brought them together in the current conflict, and Iran has given the Houthis weapons and technical help to attack Saudi forces along the border.
April Longley Alley, a Yemen analyst with the International Crisis Group, said the Houthis' surge out of the north to seize the capital had been opportunistic. Their objectives included gaining a decisive stake in national decision-making and in Yemen's military and security apparatus.
What remains unclear, she said, is how the war has changed those goals.
"Now that they are in the capital, the question is how much of a stake do they think they can hold on to after this experience with governance," she said.
During our 10-day trip to Sana and nearby provinces, it was clear that the Houthis were in charge. Their authorities issued our visas, determined what sites we could visit and assigned us a minder to make sure we stuck to the program.
Houthi checkpoints dotted the roads, sometimes less than a mile apart, and some of the scrappy young fighters who manned them struggled to read our Houthi-issued permits before allowing us to pass. While this slowed traffic, Houthi security measures have put a stop to the suicide bombings and assassinations that used to be frequent in the capital, perhaps their greatest achievement in governing.
When the internationally recognized Yemeni government of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi fled Sana, much of the state bureaucracy remained. Since then, the Houthis have worked with followers of Mr. Saleh, the former president, who was forced from power in 2012, to extend their control over the weakened organs of the state.
Many ministry buildings have been bombed by the Saudi-led coalition, and those still intact are nearly empty, their employees staying home for fear of airstrikes and because they are not being paid.
In many cases, the Houthis have installed their loyalists as overseers, giving militants with few qualifications authority over civil servants with significant experience.
One Sana-based businessman recalled going to a police station to file a complaint and finding a dozen officers unable to take action without orders from their new Houthi boss.
To visit Sana's main pediatric and maternity hospital, we had to get permission from its new "director," a Houthi in a robe and plastic sandals who allowed that his sole qualification was a diploma in nursing.
A nurse who had worked there for 16 years said he had not been paid in two months and complained that the Houthis had no way to fund their administration.
"And if you go out and protest to ask for your rights, they could take you to prison," he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of arrest. "It's all armed militias."
Officially overseeing the Houthis' attempt to govern is the High Political Council, formed this year.
In an interview in the Republican Palace, Yemen's equivalent of the White House, the council's head, Saleh al-Sammad, called the body "the highest authority in the country," but acknowledged that the state's main sources of income were out of its hands.
The council took another hit in September when President Hadi moved Yemen's Central Bank, which paid the salaries of 1.2 million civil servants, to the southern port city of Aden, where his rival administration has a presence.
Mr. Sammad blamed Saudi Arabia, the United States and the United Nations for Yemen's growing humanitarian crisis, but said it would only intensify people's will to fight.
"Most of the Yemeni people are armed, and they consider Saudi Arabia responsible for their humiliation," he said. "The worse the economic situation gets, the more people will be pushed toward confrontation and the fronts."
The Houthis' fighting mettle and alliance with some Yemeni military units has enabled them to stage painful attacks on Saudi Arabia and fire ballistic missiles over the border, killing Saudi soldiers and civilians.
The group's endgame remains unclear, however. It has participated in peace talks and agreed to a recent cease-fire, but the truce expired on Monday, amid accusations by both sides of violations and with no sign of when talks might resume.
Many Yemenis in the country's south and east oppose what they see as a Houthi coup, and measuring the depth of their support in areas controlled by the Houthis is difficult.
Human rights organizations have accused the Houthis of indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, arbitrary arrests of political opponents and torture. But some Yemenis who have been living under Houthi rule said the Saudi intervention had unified diverse forces against a common enemy.
"What brought the army together with Ansar Allah?" asked Tariq Mohammed, a policeman in the town of Hajjah, using another name for the Houthis. "The aggression against the country. That is what caused us to come together as one hand."

Trevor Williams is entering his third year with Sam Houston State and his first as Associate AD for Strength and Conditioning, where he oversees over 450 student-athletes who compete across 17 varsity sports.
Previously hired as an assistant strength & conditioning coach at Sam Houston, Williams has already contributed in a short time to the major success and growth of all athletic programs with a solid vision for his student-athletes to grow physically and mature mentally. He provides the Bearkats with sound programs that include strength, power and explosiveness, plyometrics, speed, agility, work capacity and coaching.
Prior to Sam Houston, Williams was an assistant strength coach at the University of Delaware where he spearheaded the strength and conditioning programs for several of their athletic teams, including men's basketball, women's basketball and women's lacrosse. The 2012-2013 women's basketball season culminated in the program's second straight CAA conference title and a second straight NCAA Tournament appearance, advancing to the Sweet 16. The 2013-2014 men's basketball team won their first CAA regular season and conference tournament titles, and made their first appearance in the NCAA tournament since 1999.
He was also responsible for developing and overseeing a competitive 13-week internship program for Blue Hens Strength & Conditioning that included weekly curriculums, projects, professional development trips, and career advancement initiatives.
Before his three years at Delaware, Williams spent two and a half years coaching in the Washington D.C area. While at Georgetown, he was responsible for writing and implementing strength and conditioning programs for several varsity athletic squads. Williams worked mostly with the Hoya baseball team, specifically working with the pitchers and freshmen developmental program.
In conjunction with his duties at Georgetown, Williams assumed the role of head strength and conditioning coach at The Potomac School. While there, he was in charge of 20 varsity sports, as well as their respective junior varsity programs. Williams cites his greatest accomplishment at The Potomac School as spearheading the development of strong foundations for young student-athletes on and off the field.
In the spring of 2012, Williams received the inaugural Lance Vermeil Scholarship award from the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association for his dedication, passion and commitment to the field.
Prior to D.C., Williams began his coaching career with his first stint at his alma mater, the University of Delaware, following his time as a walk-on football student-athlete. During the first two years of his career, he led and assisted many of the varsity programs for the Blue Hens.
Williams holds numerous certifications and is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.
He is married to the former Kristy Fletcher, and the couple resides in Huntsville.

The No Border camp set-up began a week before the opening, with lots of preparation work like digging trenches for water supply, and building infrastructure.
One of the aims of the camp was raising the issue of the border locally, and supporting and extending local solidarity work.
Film screenings and discussions took place in local villages in the run up to the camp, where there were really interesting conversations with local people on the frontline of the border regime, who told stories of meeting people crossing the border in search of safety and security.
Other people discussed government and media propaganda on the new detention and reception centres, and were keen to see what they were like in reality.
The Camp was visited by lots of people from nearby Siva Reka and Svilengrad, including at a dinner for the local community and at the party at the end of the camp, and good relations were built up in the local area.
Throughout the week, workshops and discussions took place including on the situation in Greece, the Welcome to Europe project, privilege and racism, People of Colour self-organisation and empowerment, sharing experiences of supporting people who are migrating, No Border camps – experiences and expectations, Theatre of the Oppressed, and loads more…
There were also demonstrations, street theatre and other events.
On 26th August a march took place in Svilengrad, 27 August saw events at the Bulgaria-Greece and Bulgaria-Turkey border, and on 29th August a demonstration was held at the detention centre in Lyubimetz, more info in press releases below.

— First time an external applicant has been appointed President
— Prof. Deeks: 'Dr Brady was key to boosting UCD's international reputation'
Professor Andrew Deeks has begun his tenure as President of UCD, assuming the role from Dr Hugh Brady after his term ended in December 2013.
The appointment of Prof. Deeks was initially announced last July when UCD Governing Authority approved his appointment as UCD President elect.
Prof. Deeks left his role as Pro Vice-Chancellor in the Faculty of Science in Durham Univeristy to take the role of President of UCD. During his time in this role at Durham University, Prof. Deeks focused on developing the international presence of the University by setting up global partnerships in China and Brazil.
The selection of Prof. Deeks as the ninth President of UCD represents the first instance of the University appointing an external candidate to the position. He is also the first non-Irish head of UCD.
Prof. Deeks was the only applicant for the role that reached the panel phase of the appointment process as the sole other candidate on the shortlist, also from overseas, withdrew from contention.
Prof. Deeks was born in the United Kingdom, 1963, but was his family relocated to Perth, Western Australia, when he was 6-years-old. In 1984, he graduated from his civil engineering degree at the University of Western Australia (UWA). By 1992, he had earned a Masters of Engineering Science (1987) and Doctorate in Philosophy (1992) from UWA.
In 2009, he moved back to the United Kingdom to take on the position of Pro Vice-Chancellor in the Faculty of Science at Durham University, where he was praised for improving the University's international presence.
It was noted by Governing Authority that his role in securing Durham University a consistent presence in the QS and Times Higher Education university rankings top 100 was a deciding factor behind appointing him to the role.
Following his appointment in July, Prof. Deeks expressed his eagerness to take on the role of President at UCD. "UCD plays a unique role in Irish society and economy, and, under the stewardship of Dr Hugh Brady, has made impressive inroads into becoming a truly international university.
"I will bring ideas and approaches learnt from my experiences in the UK and Australia and blend these with the undoubted ambition and energy I see among the high calibre people at UCD to ensure UCD is recognised throughout Ireland and the world as an international and intercultural place of learning and scholarship of the highest standard, benefiting local, national and global communities."
Prof. Deeks succeeds Dr Hugh Brady as President of UCD. The latter figure played a key role in UCD over the past ten years overseeing the introduction of UCD Horizons modular and credits based curriculum. Dr Brady is also credited with boosting the international recognition of UCD during his tenure.

Spacey goes the distance for 'Beyond the Sea'
Actor looks and sounds the part of Bobby Darin by Susan Wloszczyna USA Today
Toronto – This cat can wail.
Those who have caught festival screenings of Kevin Spacey's Beyond the Sea, a splish-splashy musical fantasia based on the life of pop crooner Bobby Darin, are singing the praises of the vocal prowess of the two-time Oscar winner.
"I didn't want to be tied to an imitation," says Spacey, snappily attired in a Sea suit, a smoke-blue silk number. "It had to come from me. Our goal was that those who know Bobby would go, 'Is that Bobby or is that Kevin?' "
The actor is even taking his act on the road. He plans to perform a showcase of Darin hits backed by a 19-piece band in 12 cities, including Las Vegas starting in late November. Fest-goers got a preview when Spacey joined Jamie Foxx, who headlines the Ray Charles biopic Ray, on a raucous rendition of Splish Splash at a late-night party this week.
But the film itself, which opens Nov. 24, may be a harder sell. Despite Chicago's high note at the box office, movie musicals are still iffy affairs. At least Spacey, who not only stars but also directed, produced and co-wrote the script, has the guts to confront the question on everyone's mind head-on: Can a 45-year-old pretend to be someone who died at age 37?
Early onscreen, Darin explains that he is shooting a movie of his own life when someone gripes, "He's too old to play this part." You can feel audiences relax. "I decided to deal with it directly," he says. "Identify the elephant in the room and get on with it."
The account of how sickly little Bobby Cassotto from the Bronx overcame a faulty ticker with the power of music has struggled to become reality for 12 years, four of them with Spacey taking charge.
"There is this strange argument that I never quite understood. 'It's a terrific story, and the music is great, but who has ever heard of Bobby Darin?' Well, who ever heard of Forrest Gump or Rocky?"
He has directed before, 1996's Albino Alligator, but has never worn so many hats. "I got through it because of the people involved," he says of the crew and cast that includes John Goodman and Bob Hoskins. "They took my dream and made it theirs."
It's clear that Spacey, who has had a string of film disappointments after he won the Academy Award for 1999's American Beauty, relates to Darin, who met derision when he tried to change his finger-snapping style in the hippie-era '60s. "People wanted Bobby Darin the way they wanted him. They didn't want him to do different things," which included an Oscar-nominated role in 1963's Captain Newman, M.D. "I've experienced some of that. We live in a time of 'this person is hot, this person is out, this person is in, the person is not,' and I don't give a toss about all that. It's meaningless, temporal and cynical."
That might be one reason he has taken refuge in London as the artistic director of the Old Vic Theater. During his tenure, he plans on taking only a few movie assignments, such his recent work on the crime drama Edison.
"I always knew after American Beauty it would be a while before anything would measure up. I said, 'I'm not going to stop working.' But while I was doing those movies, this is where my heart's been," he says of Beyond the Sea. "Those were jobs. This is my love."

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Kids with critical tooth injuries are mostly taken to puncture bedrooms or primary caring doctors first, so physicians and relatives need to know how to provide damaged teeth until a dentist can step in, according to a new report.
The new American Academy of Pediatrics discipline on handling dental mishap are dictated for doctors who need to be prepared when kids uncover adult with critical dental injuries, though they also offer useful information for relatives who need to act fast when a tooth is broken.
"The success of recovering is time contingent in many mishap cases – so we wish to have a dental home and not rest on a internal Emergency Department," pronounced lead author Martha Ann Keels.

Which type of knife slices fruits and vegetables better? How much more are sharp teeth appropriate for eating fruits and vegetables?
Although dinosaurs were originally part of God's "very good" creation and thus were vegetarians, Adam's disobedience changed all that. Carnivory is the result of the Fall, and had no part in the original creation—neither will it be present in the new heavens and earth to come.

Analysis In Othello's soliloquy Shakespeare uses repetition to portray his pain and anguish:" Put out the light, put out the light... put out thy light". Othello uses a metaphor to represent Desdemona's life. Othello was going to put out the flame on the candle and then actually take Desdemona's life. Secondly, Othello uses a metaphor to represent Desdemona's life again:" when i have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again". Shakespeare uses enjambment here to symbolise Othello's

It is evident that in writing "Hamlet", Shakespeare, to some extent, adopted the dramatic tradition of Revenge tragedy. Revenge implies the wronged individual taking the law into his own hands in order to satisfy an inner passion though in civilized society, this function of punishing the wrong doer is entrusted to the government or the state. The motive of revenge is a primitive emotion to be found in natural man, though it is a dangerous emotion. Revenge proved a popular theme for dramatists for

Following a phenomenal year of development, success and achievement in enabling and promoting a sustainable approach to food in the capital city, Food Cardiff takes a moment to reflect as it finds itself at an exciting turning point, on the cusp of further growth and expansion.
Working in collaboration with valued partners, Food Cardiff is busy now setting out its ambitious plans to build on the successes of this year to establish Cardiff as a vibrant leader in food sustainability.
The summer saw the Food Cardiff partnership expanding its innovative, award-winning programme, Food and Fun to children from 21 schools. The partnership between the City of Cardiff Council, Cardiff and Vale UHB Local Public Health team and Sport Cardiff provides education and sporting activities alongside good-quality healthy meals delivered in a safe, nurturing and fun environment to support families over the long summer holidays. We will continue to deliver this innovative work into next summer with support from Welsh Government, WLGA and Cardiff Council.
In October, Food Cardiff organised the first Peas Please Vegetable Summit in Wales, working in partnership with the UK Food Foundation. The event brought together leading organisations from across Welsh food industry that pledged to radically change the way they produce, manufacture and serve their meals to ensure they include more vegetables, with the aim of making it quicker and easier for hundreds of thousands of children and adults to consume a healthier diet.
Cardiff is leading the way, a city that is transforming itself through food, through innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit of small businesses in the city, supplying, serving and providing healthy and sustainable food across the community.
Ensuring that the momentum continues, we are delighted to announce that Food Cardiff has been successful in being awarded a Sustainable Food Cities Grant, which will enable us to build the capacity of the Food Cardiff team to support Cardiff to become the first city in Wales and one of the few cities in the UK to achieve the Sustainable Food City Silver Award. This means that we will support Cardiff to deliver outcomes across six key food issues including; promoting healthy and sustainable food, tackling food poverty, building community food knowledge, promoting a vibrant and diverse food economy, transforming catering and reducing food waste. Food Cardiff is also providing support to Food Vale in promoting and enabling sustainable food across the neighbouring County Council of the Vale of Glamorgan.
We are also thrilled to be working in partnership with the Food Power programme, led by Sustain and Church Poverty in Action, as a Peer Mentor to support emerging Food Poverty Alliances to tackle food poverty and address its root causes in communities across Wales.
And finally, we are looking forward to supporting and developing a new nationally focused body, Food Sense Wales. Hosted by Cardiff & Vale Health Charity (registered charity number 1056544), the official charity supporting all the work of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, Food Sense Wales aims to help apply the knowledge, expertise and experience gained from Food Cardiff and stakeholders across the Welsh food chain to promote food policy and practice that brings benefits to every part of the food system in Wales; our economy, the nation's health and the local and global environment.

Title: Sticky Notes
Fandom: FF7 AU
Pairing: Zack/Cloud and some drive-by Cid/Vincent
Rating: PG for swearing (Cid's in it, what do you expect?)
Word count: 2920
Challenge: This is for the square love letter on my schmoop_bingo card.
Summary: College AU. Cloud hates Mondays. Luckily, Zack is creative.
It was Monday. Again.
Cloud's alarm clock blared at 8:30 sharp and he jerked awake with a startled curse, nearly spilling himself and half his bed sheets onto the floor in the process. He flailed at his clock until it stopped yelling at him, then collapsed back down to his pillow with a sleepy 'nrgh' and a heartfelt desire never to move again.
It could have been five minutes or half an hour later when Cloud blinked a few times and realized that the splash of bright pink dancing in the air above his head was not, in fact, a sign that he'd fallen asleep again while he wasn't paying attention. He waved his arm half-heartedly at whatever it was and, when it continued to elude his less than stellar efforts to get a hold of it, huffed out a heavy sigh and dragged himself far enough upright to grab.
It was a post-it note. And there was writing on it.
It's 9am! the note said, in a broad, blocky script that Cloud would have known anywhere. You have class in half an hour! Get up!
Cloud glanced at the clock. 8:56.
"Smart ass," he grumbled ruefully, kicking off the blankets.
He snagged his cell phone off the bedside table as he stumbled towards the bathroom, fingers sleep slow and clumsy on the keys as he fired off a text. You're crazy.
U luv it, Zack was quick to respond. Got u out of bed on time didnt i?
Cloud rolled his eyes and nearly walked into the wall in the process. God, he hated mornings. Shouldn't you be at work by now?
Stopped fr coffee. Shuldnt u b goin 2 school?
Yes mom, Cloud sent back, then chucked his phone at the bed so he couldn't be tempted to keep playing text tag with Zack. He had a class to get to and if he had to wake up to an empty bed at this godforsaken time in the morning, he might as well make it worth his effort.
Twenty minutes later Cloud was marginally more awake and shoving hurriedly into his sneakers, hand practically fused around his full mug of perfectly brewed coffee. The coffee pot had been hot and ready for him when he'd staggered into the kitchen, a cheery drink me! note stuck to the front. If Cloud hadn't been so busy being pathetically grateful for the caffeine he'd have rolled his eyes at the fairy tale reference.
Running late, he was halfway out the door before he belatedly realized there was a post-it taped to the back of it. This time he managed to roll his eyes without walking into anything as he ducked back in to take a look, wondering if this was going to be a theme today.
You forgot your keys the note said, a smiley face grinning at him from the corner, and Cloud growled as he realized it was right.
"One day," he vowed to himself, fishing his keys off the side table. "I'm going to figure out how he does that." A quick glance at his watch had him wincing and he shoved his keys into his pocket as he banged through the door out into the crisp fall air. "Just not right now."
By midday, Cloud had come to the calm and reasoned conclusion that he was going to throttle Zack. Or at least find him a more time-consuming hobby. No way in hell should he have had enough time to plan all this without Cloud noticing. His boyfriend was obviously a ninja. And insane.
The trail of post-it notes had followed him to school, dogging his steps all morning. He'd found $10 in the front pocket of his bag, along with a note chiding him for forgetting to make lunch. A second post-it had been stuck to one of his books that read this is the wrong book! (it wasn't actually - even Cloud wasn't that bad - but, considering the fact that it was for his Philosophy of Marketing class, Cloud figured Zack was trying to be funny). There'd even been a note stuck to his favourite desk in Dr. Reeve's Business Politics class that said stop ogling your professor *wink*. Cloud's face had burned nearly hot enough to set his hair on fire as he'd shoved that note as far into the recesses of his bag as he could manage.
Don't you have better things to do in the morning? Cloud demanded via text as he left Dr. Reeve's class, colour still embarrassingly high.
Zack must have been between clients because his reply came almost instantly. Nope! U havin fun yet?
Tons, Cloud shot back, figuring Zack would hear the sarcasm in his text the same way Cloud could hear the grin in Zack's. He burrowed his free hand into the pocket of his hoodie, making a mental note to start bringing his gloves to campus with him. Clinic busy?
Always, Zack answered. Cloud's phone vibrated again almost immediately and he was unsurprised to see that the new text read: Nxt patients here. Gtg. Luv u.
Cloud hesitated. Yeah, he said finally. Have a good day.
"Cloud!" a familiar voice rang out, and Cloud glanced up from his phone to find Tifa bearing down on him with a determined grin and a familiar square of pink paper held aloft in one hand. Cloud resisted the urge to groan.
"Not you too," he protested as she drew up even with him.
"Afraid so," Tifa agreed unrepentantly. "Here you go."
Cloud took the barest glance at the note (Lunchtime! Tifa wants to try that new Indian place in the University Plaza) before stuffing it in his pocket and affecting a long suffering sigh. "Indian, huh?"
Tifa's teasing grin widened. "Sound a little more excited about it, why don't you?"
"This nag by note system is getting pretty tiresome," Cloud grumbled as they started across campus. He didn't think he sounded particularly convincing.
Tifa clearly didn't think so either. "Pull the other one," she said. "I haven't seen you this not-surly on a Monday all term."
"Everyone hates Mondays," Cloud defended. Tifa snorted at him.
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Mr. Boyfriend Withdrawal. Seriously, I'm amazed that you can survive an entire day on your own when you two spend so much time attached at the hip the rest of the week."
Cloud hunched lower in his hoodie, cheeks flaming in the cold air. "Shut up."
Tifa laughed. "Oh lighten up, Cloud, I'm not being mean. I think it's cute how gone the two of you are for each other." She sighed wistfully. "I wish I had a boyfriend like Zack."
"No you don't." Tifa would hate being mollycoddled with a passion; Cloud felt bad for any poor bastard who ever tried it.
That earned him a shrug. "Maybe not, but I certainly wouldn't say no to someone as cute as him. Or you, for that matter. So, lunch?" she asked, while Cloud spluttered at her.
"You're evil," he managed eventually, shaking his head as he fell in step beside her. "No wonder you and Zack get along so well."
"You love it."
Thankfully for Cloud's blood pressure, Tifa laid off tormenting him while they went for lunch. The restaurant turned out to be both affordable and edible which, as Cloud and every other student in the world had learned the hard way, wasn't always the case in a university town so that was definitely a plus. He'd almost expected their server to come to the table bearing yet another note from his crazy-ass boyfriend and was split between relief and disappointment when he made it through the entire meal without any more random messages.
Well, except for a text that said blu or grn? but that was pretty much par for the course as far as Zack was concerned. Cloud picked green just because, figuring he could ask Zack about it tomorrow.
Tifa dashed off at quarter after two to meet her study group at the kin labs while Cloud made his own rather more leisurely way to the library to finish his Applied Statistics report before heading to work.
Tifa says hi, he sent to Zack as he walked and was disappointed but unsurprised not to receive a message back. Zack might only have been working at the clinic for fourteen months, but he was already one of their more popular therapists; it wasn't unusual for Cloud to go whole days without catching him for a text conversation or a phone call. Which was tougher than Cloud liked to admit, but Zack loved his work and Cloud wasn't going to ruin that for him.
And really, the free deep tissue massages he got out of the deal were pretty convincing in their own right.
The library was quiet and post-it free when he got there, and Cloud firmly told himself to be happy about that since he was already hopelessly codependent enough without moping over the fact that his boyfriend hadn't bribed the librarians into holding any embarrassing pink notes for him. The post-it Tifa had given him had probably been the last, he reasoned - enough to help him get through the longest part of his day without hating life and everything, giving him the courage to struggle through the rest till tomorrow.
Of course, Cloud really shouldn't have underestimated Zack's determination to draw him out of his customary Monday funk, because it wasn't ten minutes later that he found a note on the fourth page of his report complaining that Cloud's homework was the most boring thing Zack'd ever seen. Cloud peeled it free and stuck it to the cover of his notebook, glancing over at it every couple minutes just to remind himself it was there.
You're still insane, he told Zack, after twenty minutes of being completely useless. Just so you know.
It's all part of my charm, Zack answered eventually and Cloud reluctantly conceded the report.
He finished his report with a scarce five minutes to spare, bolting down the stairs of the library to reach his bus stop just as the number five rolled to a stop. The bus was full of students heading off campus and Cloud squeezed himself aboard, clinging to his book bag and one of the poles as the mass of bodies swayed and jolted with the motion of the bus.
Half the passengers spilled off at the downtown bus terminal and Cloud plopped gratefully into an empty seat, pulling his bag onto his lap and pulling out his Consumer Resources textbook. He didn't come across the next note until he was three stops away from the garage, his body curled towards the grimy window as he struggled to read in the increasingly dim light.
Stop reading ahead! Zack's handwriting admonished, a chapter further into the book than the prof had assigned. You're going to give all the other kids inferiority complexes!
Cloud couldn't help chuckling. His Mondays should be like this more often.
He'd grown familiar enough with the game not to be surprised when he found another pink square taped to the inside of his locker at the garage, (invite Cid and Vin to the BBQ this weekend!), though he'd have missed the next one entirely if not for Vincent stopping by with coffee about halfway through his shift.
"There's something pink in your pocket," Vincent pointed out as he handed over one of the steaming cups; one sugar, just how Cloud liked it.
"It's Zack's fault," Cloud said automatically, wiping engine grease off onto the leg of his coveralls before taking his coffee.
Vincent's eyebrow quirked in quiet amusement. "I know."
Cloud paused in the act of pulling the note out of his pocket. "You do?"
"Of course he does," Cid's voice interrupted, the man himself stumping out of the office a moment later. "Who else do you think let that crazy bastard of yours in at fuck o'clock this morning?" Cid accepted his own cup of coffee with dirt-blackened hands, tilting into Vincent for a hello kiss that wasn't nearly as reluctantly given as his gruff attitude would have suggested. "So?" he said as he pulled back. His eyes flicked a glance at the post-it in Cloud's hand. "The hell does he want?"
Cloud glanced down. We're out of milk, the note said, blue ink smudging under his thick, oily fingerprints. He shrugged. "Nothing really," he said, making a note to pick some up on the way home. "Just keeping life interesting."
That earned a snort from Cid. "I'll bet. Crazy fuck. You go to moon over your love note all day or are you going to fix that Chevy?"
Cloud rolled his eyes. "I am not mooning!"
Vincent raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm not!" he protested.
"Sure kid," Cid said, skepticism drawing heavy lines on his face. "Whatever you say." He took a loud slurp of his coffee, flicking imperious fingers at Cloud as he turned. "Just do it on your own time, capiche?"
"You both suck," Cloud muttered under his breath, tucking the note away and turning his attention back to the misfiring cylinder in Mr. Jones' Chevy.
"Cry me a fucking river, princess. Now get the hell back to work!"
The rest of his shift passed uneventfully, sunset stretching into early twilight beyond the open bay door. Cloud was unsurprised to find himself flagging near the end, even Vincent's emergency coffee run not enough to keep the long day from catching up with him.
"Jesus, just go home already," Cid told him disgustedly at quarter past eight and Cloud blinked at him.
"But my shift isn't over yet."
Cid scowled at him. "Fifteen minutes ain't gonna ruin me, kid. And the last thing I need is you breaking your fool head in my garage because you're too tired to stand up straight. Now go. The fuck. Home."
"We'll see you and Zack at the barbeque," Vincent added over the top of the novel he was reading.
Cloud nodded wearily, in no mood to try and argue. "Okay," he said and tottered over to his locker to hang up his coveralls. He had to stop at the grocery store on the way home anyway.
The house was dark when Cloud got back, just like he'd known it would be. He stumbled in the door feeling like his head had been packed full of sand and slapped blindly at the wall for the light switch. Something grazed his palm when his hand finally connected, fluttering through the air, and he glanced down to find a familiar pink square lying on the floor.
Leftover pizza in the fridge! it informed him and Cloud had to shake his head that he hadn't even noticed it while zombieing his way out of the door that morning.
"I'm beginning to think Zack knows me too well," he informed the room at large, before chucking his book bag onto the closest chair and heading into the kitchen to put the milk away and find this rumoured pizza.
If Cloud were more disciplined, Monday nights would have been perfect for getting his school work done; he had several hours between coming home and Zack's inevitable return since Monday was Zack's night at the shelter, and he would have saved himself a considerable amount of grief later in the week if he got all his work done early. In reality, because Cloud was tired and lonely and it was Monday for god's sake, his bag stayed slumped in the chair for the rest of the evening while Cloud ate dinner and tooled around on the internet and watched a rerun of CSI and was basically a big lazy vegetable. Without a Zack. Which kind of sucked, but Cloud tried to pretend it didn't bother him.
Of course, morning classes, a stint in the library, a six hour shift and no Zack to keep him smiling through the whole process meant that he was yawning by ten, and showered and snuggled into bed before eleven. He thumbed bravely through the novel he'd been working on for a time, before resigning himself to the inevitable and turning off the light. And the bed was too big without Zack, but Cloud was tired enough that even that couldn't stop him from drifting right off to sleep.
He blinked muzzily awake some indeterminate amount of time later, squinting into the darkness. The bed dipped, a warm body settling in close against him.
"Shh," Zack's voice murmured, low and soothing as he pulled Cloud in close. "S'just me."
"Mmm," Cloud hummed, ducking his head under Zack's chin with a contented sigh. "Hi."
Zack's chuckle was as welcome as the weight of his arm across Cloud's waist. "Hi yourself. It's late. Go back to sleep."
The room was too dark for him to make out much more of Zack's face than the glint of his eyes, but Cloud still hid his self-satisfied smile against Zack's shoulder just in case. He'd known Zack wouldn't turn the light on if he was sleeping. He gave a wordless mumble of assent as sleep reached out for him again, pulling Zack in close.
Over on the side table, all but invisible in the shadowy darkness of the bedroom, a scrap of lined paper from Cloud's notebook waited patiently for Zack to find tomorrow.
Good morning, Zack, Cloud's note said, complete with smiley face. I love you, too.

Currently grabbing plaudits from almost everyone, La La Land could very well be the feel-good movie of the year and we're hardly a month into 2017!
The story is imbued with such a nostalgic sense of old-time enthusiasm and charm that if you don't come out of the cinema with a smile on your face then you're probably made of stone.
Mia (Emma Stone) is an aspiring young actress who serves the tables of Hollywood movie stars to get by as she attends audition after audition in pursuit of that big break. Across town, dedicated jazz musician Sebastian (the annoyingly handsome Ryan Gosling) barely earns a living playing piano in cocktail bars.
Brought together in love, their affair is quickly tested when they suddenly both land opportunities that could finally bring their respective dreams to life but only it would seem, at the expense of their newly discovered relationship.
Will they choose romance or career dreams (or perhaps somehow find a way to achieve both)? I'll leave you to go find out but suffice to say this is an in your face, feel good bonanza that will have everyone from Fred Astaire to Ginger Rogers dancing in the afterlife with joy!
Don't miss out – even if you're not a regular cinema goer. You're sure to go Ga Ga for La La Land!

Gina Duque is an emerging artist currently attending her final year at Western University for her Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours Degree. Originally from Cali, Colombia, she immigrated to Canada with her mother in 2001 to Walkerton, Ontario.
Whether it's through painting, sculpture or mixed media, the essence of her work stems from creating mystical images inspired by my Colombian roots, personal experiences and interest in exploring the spiritual connection between the body and mind. After her recent experience with cancer, creating artworks has evolved into a spiritual and mindful practice where her works strive to emanate a sense of empowerment, ethereality and vitality.
A fascination with human biology and the mind continues to reflect in her current work, bringing focus to a philosophy that attempts to capture the spirit of these images through the use of textures and a vibrant colour palette. Although not always apparent, these images originate from deep personal experiences that are sometimes present within these abstract forms and colors.
The color saturation and patterns seen in many of her works stems from early childhood memories of walking through the street markets and shops of Cali, Colombia, seeing the colorful and intricate patterns present in everything from textiles to decoration and architecture.

Cholesterol is a building block of our body's cells. The liver makes cholesterol. Cholesterol travels to the body's cells in the blood. We all need some cholesterol, but our bodies can make all the cholesterol we need. Certain foods are an added source of cholesterol.
If you've been diagnosed with high cholesterol, you will at first be advised to make changes to your diet and increase your level of exercise. After a few months, if your cholesterol level has not dropped, you will usually be advised to take cholesterol-lowering medication.
When you have too much bad (LDL) cholesterol in your blood, it can build up on the walls of your arteries. This build-up is called plaque (pronounced "plak"). Plaque can narrow your arteries and make it harder for blood to flow. Plaque can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Keeping bad cholesterol at a low level can help avoid these problems.
For many people, making changes to their lifestyle — eating better, losing weight, and exercising — will be enough to lower cholesterol. Others may benefit from medicines. Often, a combination of these approaches is the right choice.

Local municipalities are using solar power alternative energy initiatives to help bring about eco consciousness, and economic growth in cities across the planet. From ecofriendly transportation services to efficient waste management practices, green fever is hitting towns everywhere!
Solar is being used in many of these urban development projects. Just last year, the World Bank launched "Eco2 Cities" to help generate urban sustainability. The European Commission's POLIS research program has helped six European cities develop guidelines for urban solar implementation.
In beautiful Sweden, Stockholm's Hammarby Sjöstad district has created an efficient system of solar power alternative energy, energy efficiency, water and waste management, and recycling for electricity and district heating.
The city of Malmö is moving towards a goal of 100 percent alternative energy production by 2020! In Spanish locations, such as Barcelona and Madrid, solar ordinances have been passed for solar hot water heating.
The good news continues…
In Germany, the München Solar Initiative is helping building owners, businesses and occupants create a plan for rooftop solar. In Australia, solar power alternative energy has been integrated to the point that 1/3 of their energy came from renewables in 2012 and 2013. One in five houses in Australia now has a rooftop solar panel system, and one quarter of the renewable energy comes from wind power. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) is predicting the number of solar homes could increase to one in two homes over the next ten years!
In Canberra Australia, two large solar projects have recently been given the go ahead to proceed. The Zhenfa's 13-MW Mugga Lane Solar Park, and Elementus Energy's 7-MW OneSun Capital Solar Farm were selected to receive FIT grants following the ACT's Climate Change strategy.
In the Far East, such as China and Japan, a lot of interesting things are happening in their solar industries. Solar demand is expected to double in the latter part of this year in both China and Japan, and will surpass 16 GWs for the entire year, a 90 percent increase (and that is after they meet 40 percent of global demand!)
The good news for China continues…
The Shunfeng Investment and Xinjiang Production and
Construction Corps (XPCC) have signed on for two large scale solar projects. The first of which will create a 500 MW solar
power station in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The second project is
set to generate 1 GW of solar energy in the same region. All this will be built
on over 900 hectares of land provided by the XPCC, and is expected to be
completed by 2017.

From Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA:
I am 16 years old and I have a diabetic question. My mom's mom had diabetes and my dad's brother has diabetes. I know I am at high risk for it. I am wondering if it is better to drink diet drinks such as diet soda or is it okay to drink non diet drinks such as regular soda? I have heard from a friend that the replacement for sugar in diet soda is much worse than regular soda if you don't have diabetes.
I would recommend using the diet sodas or beverages sweetened with artificial sweeteners. Sucralose (trade name is Splenda) is one of the best tasting artificial sweeteners on the market today. There is no documented evidence based clinical studies to prove any harm from drinking aspartame or sucralose containing beverages in moderation. Some people may be sensitive to artificial sweeteners and may experience headaches or other side effects. Those folks would be better avoiding these beverages. It is certainly better to drink carbohydrate free sodas than waste unnecessary carbohydrates (a lot of them) on sugar sweetened beverages.
[Editor's comment: You might also look at the flavored waters that are available in many stores. Some may be made with Splenda. You can also choose tap water or other bottled waters that have zero calories. You might also want to drink unsweetened tea, to which you could add Splenda, if you choose. BH]

Pay-by-phone parking expands to Norwalk
NORWALK -- Paying for a parking space in Norwalk? There's an app for that.
A new pay-by-phone parking system using an application created by Atlanta, Ga.,-based Parkmobile will launch Oct. 11 for more than half of the 4,000 spaces administered by the Norwalk Parking Authority.
Upon parking in a space within a lot, tech-savvy users can activate the application or call a toll-free number to key in their parking space number, according to Katheryn Hebert, who oversees the parking authority.
If a visitor's stay is longer than expected, they can use the application to buy more time, Hebert said.
"You don't have to run back to fill the meter," Hebert said. "It's another convenience for our parkers." The system will be enabled for the Maritime Aquarium gated garage or the South Norwalk rail station parking garage, Hebert said.
Coins, bills, and credit cards will all still be accepted at pay kiosks, Hebert said.
Parkers using the service can also receive text messages or other reminders when they are running out of time, Hebert said.
"As human beings, we all do it and think that we will not be as long as we think and then say, `Oh no, I'm going to get a ticket,' " Hebert said. "This solves that problem."
Parking enforcement officers will also be able to identify app-users with expired meters using hand-held computer units, Hebert said.
Tina Dyer, a marketing manager for Parkmobile USA, said the company has expanded to offer the service in roughly 150 cities and towns in its two years of existence.
The company makes its money on a transaction fee for each parking session, Dyer said.
"The application works pretty easily but that is not to say we won't have future versions of it that will simplify it here and there," Dyer said.
In Greenwich, which adopted a similar service in April, about 40 people have registered accounts for Pay by Phone Mobile parking.
The option is available in all town lots with electronic parking payment kiosks, or can be obtained through a toll-free number displayed within the lots, said Alan Corry, director of parking services for the town of Greenwich.
"It's ticking up but not as fast as I thought," Corry said. "But the people who use the train definitely think it is a win-win for them that saves them time."
