One of my favorite hawker fried noodle is 滑旦河 "Wat Tan Hor"..I can eat this type of noodle everyday if the skill of the chef who cook this Wat tan Hor is up to par..That means the chef who cook this type of noodle must have the ability to achieve the 镬气"wok hei".To impart wok hei, the food must be cooked in a wok over a high flame while being stirred and tossed quickly.But for us at home who try to cook this type of noodle with "wok hei" it's quite hard but not impossible.That the reason I prefer to have propane stove instead of electric stove..I tried I heat up my aluminum skillet at high heat before drizzling with some oil.Then I quickly toss the cut flat rice noodles into the skillet before toss in some soy sauce..Since the heat is so high I will keep tossing the flat noodle until it's look lightly golden brown before remove from heat..To my surprised the flat noodle turn out really fantastic..then the next critical step is the sauce..The magic words is Garlic!! lot,lot of garlic!!! All thought cooking "wat tan hor" at home is far far different in term of taste and the exotic smell compare with the one we bought a stall but it's still acceptable for me..But since I can't find a stall here, I'm glad to accept this version of "wat tan hor"..Beggar can't be choosy,right?
2 sheets of fresh flat rice noodle ,cut 1 inch thick
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp cooking oil
For the sauce:
4-5 cups chicken broth or water

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Monthly Update - November/December 2004
It is hard to believe that 2004 has come to an end because the year has just flown by. This time last year at Taricaya the canopy walkway was still a distant dream; the mahogany project was generally viewed as a folly, unaccepted by the majority, and the animal release program was still in its infancy. How quickly things have advanced over the last twelve months. We have successfully hatched our first turtle eggs, over 6,000 thousand mahogany saplings germinated, the canopy walkway was successfully opened in February and we have released many animals into our reserve.
As 2004 progressed it was with great pleasure that I watched so many of these projects finally come to fruition. It was the hard work of volunteers and staff alike over the previous years, and of course this year, that made these successes possible and it is hard to know where to begin so I will try and summarise the best I can.
One of my personal favourites is the animal release program. I often find it very distressing when we receive some of the animals as they are so badly mistreated and in such poor health but seeing them recover with a better diet and health care is so very rewarding. Before this year we had successfully released a wide variety of animals including monkeys, anteaters, parrots, peccaries and many more but in 2004 we dedicated more time and money to the project and excitingly received our first cats. Imba, a beautiful margay, was released near one of our mammal colpas earlier in the year and is happily roaming our reserve and Preciosa, the jaguar, is still with us as we teach her to hunt and watch as her health improves. She was very badly mistreated and her now shiny pelt is a sure sign that her recovery is nearly complete and next year we must search for a suitable area in which to release her.
In 2004 we also received two species of peccary (wild pigs), coatis (S. American raccoons), four species of monkey, three species of macaw, several types of parrot, paca (a large rodent), tapitis (wild rabbits), tayra (large member of the weasel family) and a Brazilian Tapir. Unfortunately not all the animals survive as was the case with Rosa , the tapir, and the baby tayra. Sometimes when they reach us they are beyond help but the successful releases always make the project and the effort worthwhile.
In previous reports I have spent a long time explaining the ongoing progress of the mahogany project so I shall not repeat more of the same but simply report that next year we shall start to transplant the saplings and we will enter the third and final phase of the project monitoring which conditions best favour the newly planted trees and continuing to measure survival rates of the plants.
The turtle project (see October's report) was another personal favourite of mine as it was one of the first projects we designed at Taricaya. Next year we will have the full support of the government organisation, Inrena , and hope to improve the project further still. We will build a new artificial beach and will involve more of the locals in the collection of the eggs thus reducing the problem of poaching and illegal extraction.
It seems that I am always commenting on the progress of our official reserve and looking back over the last 18 months it has really been a battle to get the government to process the application. The tedious and often excessive paperwork often drove me to distraction but I am pleased to report that we are now in the final stage of our application and when I present the technical report that the government has requested we should finally be awarded the 480 hectares of the Reserva Ecologica Taricaya . The reserve is a culmination of the work of every volunteer we have received at Taricaya because the data collected from the observation walks, platforms, canoe observations and canopy walkway has made the reserve possible. This year we built a new platform at New Farm and of course the canopy platform, 50m above the ground.
Apart from the larger projects 2004 has seen the development and remodelling of the medicinal plant garden, the successful completion of the dam ready for 2005, the construction of a large pool for the caiman project, new cages for the animal release program, the purchase of two new canoes for the centre and various projects at New Farm including crop and livestock management; nurseries for bamboo, palms and ironwood and the successful cultivation of crops thought to be unsuited to the area and climate.
All that remains is for me to wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year and thank all the volunteers and staff alike for the hard work that made 2004 so successful. To those of you who are future volunteers let's make 2005 even better still!!!

The most significant event of the 1860s in the Colony was the arrival of a ship called the S.S. Truro on 16 November 1860, heralding a new era. The Truro, a wooden paddle steamer rigged with sail, brought 343 migrants from their homes in India, pioneers in a process which would continue until after the first decade of the 20th century and bring more than 150,000 people to the shores of Natal.
Social, economic and political effects would be far-reaching. These events and their consequences have generated a large body of literature to which there are regular additions and anyone reading this blog can do a Google search on the terms 'indentured Indians' or 'Indian migrants Natal' to pursue a study of the topic. The Indian diaspora was a global phenomenon and Natal's involvement should be seen in that context, from an academic point of view.
If you're a family historian, the focus changes. It becomes individualized: less anonymous, intensely personal. Descendants of the Indian migrants increasingly want to know about their ancestors and about their origins. Acquiring such information is not easy. More about that aspect in future posts.
|Indian migrants at Natal
The Truro was followed shortly by the Belvedere (quarantined in the roadstead due to cholera on board) and the Lord George Bentinck, bringing the total migrant arrivals in the year 1860 to nearly a thousand.
Passengers were taken off the vessels by lighter and delivered to barracks at the Point from where their employers would collect them. Their journey was far from over.

Facebook shuts down gun shop owner's page
Page shut down without warning, Erik Lowry says
Erik Lowry, owner of Pittsburgh Tactical Firearms in McKeesport, said he's losing thousands of dollars per day since Facebook shut down his business page. He told Channel 4 Action News that he believes his page was targeted because of misinformation in a recent article.
Lowry found out Friday morning that his page was shut down when his phone started ringing from fans wanting to know what happened. He said he received a message from Facebook saying the page was deactivated, but didn't give an explanation.
"You know, most pages get warnings. We didn't even get a warning. It was just gone," Lowry said.
More than 27,000 people are fans of his page and it's where he announces ammunition, gun and gear giveaways, but Lowry said a recent article had misinformation about his giveaway practices and he believes that is why Facebook shut his page down.
"People were thinking if you won, I was just going to send a gun to your front door. It just doesn't work that way," Lowry said. "If you win a firearm from us, you come to the store, and as long as you pass a background check, you walk out with your gun."
Lowry said the same rules apply if a winner is out-of-state. Winners must pass background check and records are kept.
Lowry said he has been trying to push updates on his sister-page "Miss Pittsburgh Tactical" since his page was shut down, but its roughly 2,000 fans are not nearly the reach he is used to.
The company's largest firearm giveaway was planned for Sunday, offering an AR-15 rifle and protective gear valued at $10,000. Lowry said he is concerned because donors might start pulling some prizes.
For now, the giveaway is on hold until the Facebook page problem is sorted out. Lowry said he hopes more fans will join his appeal to Facebook.

Bradley Manning faces 90 years in prison and will probably die behind bars – and that's not the worst of it. He's been successfully brainwashed judging by his recent apology and appeal for leniency. I don't blame him. He must feel powerless, on so many levels. When MailOnline.com published pictures of Manning "in drag" earlier this week, it revealed publicly what the transgender community has known for some time: Manning is one of us.
I personally regard him as a hero, but this isn't an attempt to claim him, politically. There wouldn't be much to gain by it. Even GLAAD and Human Rights Campaign have deserted him, sadly. Whether you see him as brave or treacherous, though, he faces unfair hardship as a gender non-conforming prisoner. I should know, I used to be one.
When I was 16, to my shame, I took part in a robbery. I was terrified of going to borstal, as anyone might be, but with the added fear of what happened to people like me there. Like Manning, I hadn't yet transitioned, but I had always known who I was and that, eventually, I would have to do something about it. I also knew that, because I'd committed a crime, my transition would have to wait.
I was locked up for eight months. Inside, I grew my hair long and shaved my legs. I sneaked chalk out from my weekly art classes and ground it into dust so that when the doors were locked at night and I was alone in my cell, I could make my cheeks pink and lips red, and my eyes green. I must have looked like Grotbags, but there you go. It was torture not expressing my femaleness and I certainly wouldn't have coped with 90 years of it.
Blogger Zinnia Jones, who spent hours chatting to Manning online before he was exposed as a Wikileaks collaborator, describes giving evidence at his trial: "I've talked about Manning as male, because there's been nothing but silence and denial on this front from his family and his attorneys, and I simply don't know how else to refer to him. But I do know what happens when you take one of us and lock us away for most of our early 20s, unable to access treatments like those he was seeking. It horrifies me." She laments the fact that "he's locked in a cage and I'm not, that I got to transition and he didn't".
Sadly this is what happens when trans people are arrested mid-transition. Take Senthooran Kanagasingham, who was Nina when she pushed someone under a train. I don't excuse the crime, nor do I applaud those who advised Nina to suppress her identity ahead of the trial.
Trans people understand very well the constant pressure to keep everyone else happy by meeting their expectations. Manning felt that pressure. That's why he entered the army, to "man up". Again and again we see people like him, who feel female inside, racing to appear male on the outside: joining the gym, joining themselves in heterosexual matrimony, fathering children. It's hard to say if this ever works because how do we count the number of those living this way and suffering in silence? They make their beds and lie in them, invisible. Until they have nervous breakdowns. Or commit suicide. Or, somehow, manage to finally express their true identities against the odds they've helped stack against themselves.
Orange is the New Black, the new Netflix series set in a New York federal prison, explores what happens when a transgender character, Sophia, is denied hormone therapy – but even this has been criticised as painting too rosy a picture. Indeed, critics say Sophia is lucky to even be in women's prison.
For his book Normal Life, Dean Spade, who founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, met many trans people who faced employment discrimination and were forced into illegal jobs like sex work: "This meant constant exposure to the criminal punishment system, where they were inevitably locked into gender-segregated facilities that placed them according to birth gender and exposed them to further violence". In short, the law treats trans people the way wider society treats trans people – as problems.
Manning struggled with gender identity issues in the US army. Now he must face prison. Private Manning – from one sister to another – I wish you the best of luck. You're going to need it.

As a family-owned company, human values and respect for both people and environment have always been deeply rooted in Søstrene Grene.
Taking responsibility within these areas has always been a natural part of running our business – and it will continue to be so in the future.
Our ambition is to keep improving in all areas, and here, you can read about our CSR efforts and the actions we take to avoid negative impact on both people and planet.
We base our priorities on two fundamental principles:
1) to minimise negative impact on people and planet and
2) to create positive impact when we can. Our four priority areas are defined by what is material to the relation between our company and the society and environment we interact with.
Below you can learn more about our commitments and actions:
One of Søstrene Grene's core values is joy. We strive to create slight bright differences to everyday life. This value begins with ourselves – with our commitment to running our company with responsibility and respect for the world we are part of. Our key priorities within Ethics and Governance are:
Our actions, 2017/2018
In the fiscal year 2017/2018, actions in this area include:
It is important to us that our customers have full faith in the products they find at Søstrene Grene. That is why we give very high priority to quality and product safety. Our customers must be able to trust that they are buying products that do not pose any risk to their health and safety.
Our supply chain
We source our products directly from independent factories as well as from trading companies, who again source their products from other factories. Søstrene Grene does not own any factories. European suppliers provide 30-40% of our products, the rest is sourced from suppliers in Asia - mainly China, India and Vietnam. Some suppliers we use only once, e.g. campaign-related products. Other suppliers have been with us for many years. In total, we use around 500 different suppliers each year. Approximately 100 of these suppliers are categorised as CSR Focus Suppliers and are selected for CSR audits and training. The selection is based on relevance and risk parameters such as location, product, production process, raw material and how much we purchase from the given supplier. Most of our Asian suppliers are categorised as CSR Focus Suppliers, most of our Northern European suppliers are not.
Responsible Supply Chain Programme
Our Responsible Supply Chain Programme consists of several parts.
In the very rare case that severe concerns are identified, we will cease all business with the supplier until the concern has been corrected. Sufficient corrections and true commitment must be documented at a re-audit by our audit team before we can take up business with the supplier again. If the supplier does not reach a satisfactory level, we do not take up business with the supplier again. In case of less severe concerns, we agree on a deadline for correction with the supplier, and we follow up on implementation, either by conducting a re-audit or by exchange of documentation, depending on the character of the concern.
Our actions, 2017/2018
In the fiscal year 2017/2018, actions in this area include:
Read more: Søstrene Grene's Supplier Code of Conduct
It is crucial to Søstrene Grene that our customers can trust the quality and safety of the products they buy at our stores. Therefore, we allocate a significant amount of resources to product testings and screenings, ensuring that our products live up to all applicable national and EU legislations.
Our Product Compliance team performs a Risk Analysis of each and every product we sell in our stores. They are highly qualified professionals with specialised knowledge about chemical substances, materials and the relevant legislation. We request comprehensive documentation from the suppliers, including Bill of Material, chemical composition etc. This approach means we only perform the tests which are relevant for each specific product.
The Product Compliance team monitors new developments in the relevant legislations. We follow new developments in the health and safety field in close cooperation with the relevant authorities and Trade and Consumer Organisations. In many cases, we must take action before a specific law is passed in the product safety field. We have to stay ahead of the legislation, so we can keep developing and improving our products. Søstrene Grene has chosen to ban all Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) from EU's candidate list and fluorine substances in food contact materials/packaging. We have also chosen to reduce the use of PVC in product packaging and other product groups.
Our actions 2017/2018
In the fiscal year 2017/2018, our focus has been to increase the quality control regarding our products and continue the strict testing and screening processes of our products. Among other things, activities within this area include:
Taking care of our climate and environment is a great priority to Søstrene Grene. Our key focus is to reduce waste, reuse and recycle.
Within some areas there is a lot we can do ourselves, e.g. how we deal with recycling, use of packing materials and energy optimisation of our stores and warehouses. Within these areas, we monitor our performance, analyse where we can improve and set in with relevant actions.
Within other areas, we are reliant on the efforts of our collaborators, e.g. the efforts of our suppliers and the transportation companies we use. When it comes to transportation of our goods, we choose companies that work effectively towards reducing their CO2 emissions, and we try to avoid air freight. When it comes to suppliers, we have clear environmental requirements in Søstrene Grene's Supplier Code of Conduct, and environment is an important part of the CSR audits we conduct at our suppliers' factories.
Our actions, 2017/2018
In the fiscal year 2017/2018, actions in this area include:

Magic Truffles, or How to Turn a Kitchen Failure into a Kitchen Success
Do you ever wonder why I love every recipe that I blog about? That's because if I don't love it - I don't blog it. I don't like telling you about something that didn't work out, because many times things don't work out because of a user error, or sometimes different people with different taste buds like different things. I simply don't like to criticize recipes because I know how much work goes into creating them. However when we're talking about my own recipes, I will gladly tell you if something absolutely sucked! Last Saturday I made two individual pumpkin tarts. They were inedible.
It doesn't really look that bad, right? Wrong! It was horrid. It looks frozen here because after I tasted a bite of one of the tarts and gagged, I decided to toss the other one in the freezer as I did not want to see it anymore. Mr. Wing-It claimed to like it and he ate the one that I had already tasted. Mkay. I think he was just trying to be nice.
I do not like throwing away food, and I think I thought of Wing It Vegan's new slogan thanks to these horrendous tarts: there aren't many kitchen disasters that cannot be turned into either a sweet truffle or a savory croquette! Here's what happened to the extra tart: (please excuse the poorly taken windowless-kitchen pictures)
I threw the whole thing into the food processor and blended it into a smooth-ish cream!
At this point, it looked like vomit. Then I added some melted dark chocolate and processed some more...
Tasted it, added even more chocolate, a splash of vanilla and almond extracts, and processed some more until I was satisfied...
Satisfied! Then I shaped it into balls after it had firmed up in the fridge for a few minutes, rolled them in ground chocolate chips and...
That's Bob in the background. Hi Bob!
Et voilà, magic truffles! I wasn't about to throw away a whole little tart made with expensive ingredients like walnuts, cashews, almonds, and maple syrup. Throwing away food causes me pain! So there you have it. If next month you (if you live in the US) happen to ruin your Thanksgiving pie or whatever you might be making for dessert - add some melted chocolate and turn the disaster into delicious balls! And then don't tell anyone about your kitchen misfortunes and pretend that you always intended to make fancy truffles! Mwahahaha!
Now I shall leave you with a gratuitous picture of Curly grooming his butt feathers. *curtsies*
A fluffy tail like this doesn't just happen.

I haaaate throwing away any food but maple syrup & nuts? That's be the worst! Your truffles look great.ReplyDelete
I hate throwing food away too. The other day I threw away 2 cups of panna cotta that were just pure rubber. I couldn't think of any plausible way to salvage them. It was so sad.ReplyDelete
Is Bob a philodendron??? Hi Bob!ReplyDelete
Good work converting yuck into yum.
According to a wise soul of the interwebs whom I consulted when we first brought Bob home, he is an arrowhead plant. What I don't know is if he is a White Butterfly arrowhead vine or what the fork! He didn't have a little identification card thingie when we bought him. I just knew he had to come home with me whatever he was.Delete
Nice save buddy, the truffles look great.ReplyDelete
I think you've just proven that chocolate does in fact make anything better!ReplyDelete
I would have never thought of turning a baking disaster into artisanal truffles--rock on for being so creative!
Nice! I always feel so bad about wasting food. Good save!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 30, 2012 at 11:42 AM
I love the concept of "mess up a recipe? Just add chocolate." Chocolate fixes all kitchen mishaps.ReplyDelete
So glad to see you posting more again, and those truffles LOOK amazing!ReplyDelete
Just a quick note, I can't always get to your posts because the images hang the update in my inbox. It always says something about pinterest, but I'm also not sure if it is because your photos are so large.
Well done. This could be the title of a post I haven't gotten around to writing yet where I botched a pie crust and baked the pie with just the topping. Tried to turn the botched crust into chocolate chip cookies and burned them, wasting not just the crust but the added chips Grrrrrrrrr.ReplyDelete
It's always frustrating when a recipe doesn't work out (especially when it looks that good) -- and I'm the same way when it comes to wasting food. I'm glad you were able to salvage it and turn it into something so great!ReplyDelete

Bloodlust Lyrics
Spoken lies in a whispered voice, drag the blade across my skin. You present me with no other choice. Let the bloodletting begin. Cut the veins let the blood run hot, to caress the beauty of the porcelain skin. I'll drain you of the life you know, if you only return the sin. Skin and bones, no weight for the hanging. Shattered wrists feel no sting. You're my temple of flesh and bone, yet I'll tear it right down again. Surrender your heart to the knife, I don't recall a choice. Flesh to flesh without purpose. Some lay dead while others mourn. Cut from the womb of a living doll, I can't control this bloodlust. Is it worth the sin if I go on? We both lose in a game not meant to be won. We are a decaying flesh of an age. The beating heart of a world no longer existing. Look at us cutting each other (Lost inside this tainted machine) Is this what we've become? (I often wish I couldn't feel) Beyond the suicidal thoughts of darkness (The black engulfs me) Surrender your heart to the knife, I don't recall a choice. Surrender your heart to the knife.

In honor of Pippi: who were your kid's-book role models growing up? Who made you feel like you could do anything? Do you remember fat or unconventional-looking protagonists whose non-beautiful looks were portrayed in a positive (or at least neutral) light?
On the flip side, who disappointed or hurt you? There's some discussion on Manolo for the Big Girl right now about the book Me and Fat Glenda, in which the protagonist apparently loses weight and suddenly becomes attractive. Personally I remember feeling bitterly let down by Meg Murry, who suddenly became stunningly gorgeous and shed all her endearing and identifiable teenage awkwardness. (Mad love to Madeleine L'Engle, of course, but that always struck a sour note with me.)

Inflexion brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 60 Designs von 19 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are about to launch an innovative new Interactive agency that prides itself on bringing together the world's best independent freelancers and agencies to provide mid/large-sized companies the best integrated Internet marketing services available.
We are "practicing what we preach" by "crowdsourcing" our logo and business card development at the 99 designs website. Help us show the world how creative and effective we can be!
We need the logo to be provided in all necessary formats for use on the web, print, b&W and color.
Inflexion Interactive
Our target customers are some of the world's top brand and direct response marketers. After years of using Internet marketing to more effectively acquire and retain customers than many traditional techniques, their competitors have begun to catch up, their agencies have been acquired by huge holding companies, and technology is becoming a commodity.
Their results have begun to plateau. They are at an "inflexion point" in their marketing efforts.
An inflexion point is (wikipedia):
"In differential calculus, an inflection point, or point of inflection (or inflexion) is a point on a curve at which the curvature changes sign. The curve changes from being concaveupwards (positive curvature) to concave downwards (negative curvature),or vice versa. If one imagines driving a vehicle along the curve, it isa point at which the steering-wheel is momentarily "straight", beingturned from left to right or vice versa."
Our company, Inflexion Interactive, helps our clients break through these inflexion points, to achieve superior results. We promise to produce better results, provide better customer service, and do it more efficiently than anyone else.
How? First, by being more targeted in our techniques and tactics. We focus on the inflexion points in our client's clients customer lifecycles...rather than traditional "spray and pray" techniques. This saves time and money.
Secondly, as a next generation Internet-agency, we actually practice what we preach, by using and leveraging the latest Web 2.0 technology and techniques to deliver our services more effectively. We are using open source, social networking, crowdsourcing, outsourcing, and remote working arrangements whenever possible to keep costs low and innovation high. We will bring the best people together (independent agencies and freelancers) to work for our clients...no matter where they are located. Our Services include:online advertising, design, SEM, SEO, development, email, viral and newer "Web 2.0" tactics.
Our target customer is in their 30's and 40's. Located on the coasts. Web-knowledgeable. Looking for an innovative, but reliable partner who does things differently, but never loses sight of the goal which is superior results. They are looking for a partner that is serious about results, but they appreciate the fun and creativity that "is" marketing.
Whew...is that enough background? :-) Now, we need a logo that embodies who we are...and we want you to be a part of helping us to create the next great agency brand! What better way to kick off a "crowdsourcing" internet agency, than to have our logo developed by crowdsourcing, right?! Thanks for your help and good luck! Have fun and thank you!
- professional
- clean
- trustworthy- feel
- speaks of innovative
- more "masculine" color scheme
- we don't want a logo that will be used with a black background.

I got e-mail from a church member recently telling me how disappointed she had been in the way I handled the vote on the 2011 budget at the end of the 8:30 worship service last Sunday. She said, "You told everybody that it was a done deal, that we had already voted on it, and that we were just giving our affirmation to a previous decision. You asked for a show of hands if we were for the budget, but not if we were against it. It made me feel like I don't really have a voice in the decisions that are made at First Baptist Church. "
I wrote back immediately, saying: "Please forgive me. I was confused. I thought we had already voted on the budget at our last quarterly business meeting, and that we didn't really need to vote on Sunday. Then I looked down at my bulletin and it said, 'Vote on the Budget.' So I asked people to raise their hands if they wanted to affirm the budget but didn't give them a way to oppose it. I blew it in almost every possible way at 8:30, but got it right at 11:00. I'm very sorry."
She wrote back to me and said: "Thanks for the explanation. That's a very good explanation."
The explanation of course is that I messed up. I made a mistake. I didn't deprive her of her voice intentionally; I did it unintentionally. But what she did was a perfect illustration of the sermon I had preached that morning. I had said that if someone in the church does you wrong you should confront him, just as in says in Matthew 18:15: "If another member of the church sins against you, go to him and tell him his fault when it is just the two of you alone. If he listens to you, you've won your brother back."
I wrote back to her, congratulating her on the way she had handled things. "This is what you did," I told her. "I sinned against you. You confronted me and made me aware of what I had done. I listened to you, apologized for my mistake, and you forgave me. That's just what Jesus was talking about! And," I added, "I hope you've won your brother back" (smile).
"Absolutely!" she replied, and went on to tell me that she had appreciated the sermon very much, but after the vote she hadn't been able to think about anything else. Once we got that cleared up, we were free to move on to other things.
I wanted to share that story here, because it seems like a perfect illustration of how to make peace with someone who has offended you. You don't talk about that person: you talk to him. You tell him what it was that offended you and why. You give him a chance to explain, and perhaps even apologize. If he does, then you forgive him and move on to other things.
Doesn't that seem like a better way than fuming about it quietly for days or even weeks, holding a grudge against the offending party until you can't even stand the sight of him anymore? Jesus understood: if you don't go to your brother when he sins against you, if you don't tell him his fault and give him a chance to apologize, then you lose your brother—not because of his feelings toward you but because of your feelings toward him.
I don't know about you, but I need all the brothers and sisters I can get these days, and for that reason I'm thankful that one of my sisters was brave enough to write to me and tell me my fault. It's not easy to hear such things, but believe me, it's a whole lot better than not hearing them.

Weekend trips to take this summer in every state
People often seem to struggle with setting aside time for a full vacation in the summer. But even if a longer trip is out of the question, travelers can still take advantage of a relaxing or adventurous weekend getaway without leaving their home state. Here we round up the best short-but-sweet trip to take in each state during the year's warmest months.istockphoto.com
Alabama: Mentone
Mentone is a picturesque little mountain town atop Lookout Mountain in northeastern Alabama. The views are absolutely stunning. Desoto Falls, a 104-foot cascade that drops into a wide bright green pool, is one of the top attractions. Pick up handmade arts and crafts at the Log Cabin Craft Village and eat tomato pie or strawberry pasta at Wildflower Cafe. Summer camps with horseback riding, archery, boating, swimming, craft making and rock climbing are popular among kids.istockphoto.com

Girdwood was originally called Glacier City because of the two giant snow summits nearby. If you ever want to go glacier hiking, this small town near Anchorage should be on your list. Kenai Fjords National Park is nearby, with its opportunities for whale watching and icebergs and glaciers that are majestic all year round. Complete the strenuous Harding Icefield Trail and you'll have bragging rights for life. Visit the historic Crow Creek Mine, hop on the Alaska Railroad, and eat delicious fresh seafood.Shutterstock
Arizona: Mesa
Not many would expect to find sizable bodies of water in the middle of desert-like terrain, which is why Arizona is commonly overlooked as a destination for lake vacations. However, Mesa shares a border with the Tonto National Forest, which is home to Saguaro Lake, Canyon Lake and Apache Lake. Visitors here can enjoy all sorts of water activities like wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, fishing and even a more typical beach experience along the sandy shores of Jones Beach at Saguaro Lake.istockphoto.com
Arkansas: Mountain View
This is where you go if you want to experience traditional music and see folkways preserved in Arkansas. Mountain View is all about music - it's been home to the Arkansas Folk Festival since the 1960s, and it's not unusual during summer evenings to hear locals and visitors playing instruments outside near the town square. Mountain View is also home to the Ozark Folk Center and the Arkansas Craft Guild.Dreamstime

Santa Catalina Island is a summer hotspot for Los Angeles locals who need a break from the city.

Even outside the museum, Mystic is a beautiful coastal town that lacks annoying crowds and the hustle and bustle of the big city.Shutterstock
Delaware: Rehoboth Beach
This small town has a lot to offer, especially in the summer when its calm shores welcome thousands of tourists.

Boating, kayaking and water-skiing are very popular, and there are great spots for adventurous anglers hoping to reel in a fish they haven't seen before.Shutterstock

Just miles from historic Savannah, Georgia, at the mouth of the Savannah River is Tybee Island, a favorite beach for residents of an visitors to the charming Southern city.

Maui offers the best of both worlds; a laid back atmosphere but also extreme adventure. The island is famous for incredible surf spots with awesome breaks and good-sized waves. Hawaii's second largest island is covered with Hawaii's rich flora and fauna, as well as geological wonders like amazing waterfalls, sandy shores lined with palm trees and, of course, volcanic landscapes.Shutterstock
Idaho: Sandpoint
Located on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille in the Idaho Panhandle, Sandpoint's beauty is known far and wide. The 150-square mile lake is great for fishing, kayaking and boating, and the charming town is the county seat of Bonner County Nearby Silverwood is the Northwest's largest theme park, and the mountains just outside the town offer beautiful views of the lake. The area is an outdoor playground, with everything from rock climbing to golfing on offer.Shutterstock
Illinois: Starved Rock State Park
Just an hour and a half west of Chicago, Starved Rock State Park attracts around 2 million visitors each year to view the sandstone-walled canyons on the south bank of the Illinois River. This geology is highly unusual for the Central Plains, and many of the park's trails lead to waterfalls that are lush and green in summer. Those who've had their fill of nature can visit historic mansions and museums in nearby towns like Ottawa and Lasalle.Shutterstock
Indiana: Indiana Dunes National Park
The former Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore became the United States' newest national park in February 2019. Including the neighboring state park, over 17,000 acres along the southern shore of Lake Michigan are designated to protect the beaches, sand dunes and wetlands that draw day-trippers from all over Indiana and nearby Chicago. Visitors can also find shops, activities and accommodations around the visitors center in Porter or in the nearby lake town of Michigan City.Shutterstock
Iowa: Okoboji
The town of Okoboji in northern Iowa sits on the shores of two glacier-carved lakes, East and West Lake Okoboji, and not far from Spirit Lake, which stretches to the Minnesota border.

Tip: Did you know that Nantucket is one of New England's top surfing destinations, especially for beginners?Shutterstock
Michigan: Mackinac Island
Voted a "Top 10 U.S. Island" by Trip Advisor, Mackinac is a trip back in time. For one, there are no cars allowed, so visitors explore this Victorian treasure on bikes, on horseback or by carriage.

Visitors can see historic forts and reenactments and stroll through quiet streets enjoying the island's famous fudge.Shutterstock

This is where you go to see alligators, pelicans and other wildlife.Dreamstime

This pristine outdoor paradise straddling the California-Nevada border is predictably the perfect place to learn to stand-up paddle boarding.Shutterstock
New Hampshire: Portsmouth
Portsmouth prides itself on being one of the nation's oldest cities - it's existed since 1623. The history, the shopping, the harbor and the food are just a few reasons why people love Portsmouth. The city is near the mouth of the Piscataqua River near Maine. Portsmouth regularly earns a place on "best places to live" lists, which makes it a great place to visit as well. Check out lobster tours, whale watching, deep sea fishing and the historic Isles of Shoals.Shutterstock
New Jersey: Cape May
This beautiful small town is just a couple of hours away from chaotic New York City. Cape May is very popular in the summer, but it has something to offer all year round. Go on romantic walks along large stretches of pristine sand, and see gorgeous Victorian buildings to see why the city is designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Willow Creek Winery alone is worth the trip.Shutterstock
New Mexico: Taos
This far-out mountain town - an underrated adventure destination for the summer - is unlike any other place on Earth. Bordered on three sides by the towering red peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is positioned in a high desert valley and is one of the few places that's preserved its native culture, art scene and love for the great outdoors. If you're feeling adventurous, climb the tallest mountain in New Mexico - Wheeler Peak - or if you're a skilled paddler, take on the Taos Box section of the Rio Grande.Gima/Shutterstock.com
New York: Lake Placid
Lake Placid is nestled in the Adirondack Mountains. It has a rich winter sports history, but it's also really fun to visit in the summer. The Olympic Center - site of the Miracle on Ice in 1980 - is open for figure skaters and hockey players to use.Many nearby waterways are perfect for paddling - whether that be by canoe, kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Hiking is the most popular activity when it gets warm, with trails for every skill level. Take a paddleboat around Mirror Lake, watch a concert at Mid's Park and forget about the rest of the world for a while in one of many spectacular spas.Shutterstock
North Carolina: Outer Banks
Visit the Outer Banks before the barrier islands disappear because of climate change. This gorgeous destination is one of the best non-Disney places to take kids. The 200-mile-long stretch of picturesque barrier islands is perfect for camping. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore protects a 70-mile span of the most remote islands, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the mellow Pamlico Sound on the other, where many people go kayaking and kiteboarding.Dreamstime
North Dakota: Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Theodore Roosevelt National Park (one of the nation's most underrated national parks) has an abundance of a diverse wildlife, including feral horses, prairie dogs, snakes and lizards. Participate in many ranger programs or camp under the stars in the North Dakota Badlands or go hiking and horseback riding during the day. The park combines colorful terrain and riparian habitat along the Little Missouri River. The auto-tour route is very nice for casual visitors.Shutterstock
Ohio: Put-in-Bay
This island in Lake Erie offers entertainment, history and vacation appeal during the summer season. One of the best known attractions is the Antique Car Museum, which showcases a collection of Model T Fords and vintage snowmobiles. Watch them in a parade every Sunday afternoon. South Bass Island is home to the world's largest geode, called the Crystal Cave, on the grounds of Heineman's Winery, which has been making wine on the island for more than a century.Shutterstock
Oklahoma: Turner Falls Park
This is a quick getaway for everyone living in Oklahoma and nearby states. People go for the natural swimming areas, wading area, sandy beaches, bath houses, picnic sites, water slides, explore-able caves and even a "castle" built in the 1930s out of native stone. The 77-foot waterfall and cold refreshing streams are incredibly relaxing. There are plenty of hiking trails, camp sites and cabin rentals.Dreamstime
Oregon: Crater Lake
Crater Lake, formed thousands of years ago from the collapse of a volcano, is famous for its clear blue waters. Summertime visitors can go hiking, swimming, fishing and camping. They can also take boat and trolley tours, go on adventures guided by rangers, explore old-growth forests and wildflower meadows. Climb mountains for stunning views or hike down to the lakeshore itself. For a longer trek, try a backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail.iStock
Pennsylvania: Bucks County
If you're looking for the ultimate contrast, leave the bustling city of Philadelphia for the down-home charm of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Wander through antique shops, take a ride on a hot air balloon or travel by horse through Nockamixon State Park - and don't forget to take a few photos of the covered bridges. An hourlong drive will get you there, or you could tackle the 45-mile trip by bike.Shutterstock
Rhode Island: Little Compton
This is one of the most charming little New England towns you can stay in. While there are only a few 17th-century structures still standing (these include the Wilbor House and Peabody House), most others are from the 18th and 19th century. Little Compton is home to Rhode Island's only official "town common," listed in the National Register of Historic Places.istockphoto.com
South Carolina: Seneca
Lake Keowee is a man-made reservoir, but everything there feels as natural as it can be; the lake covers almost 30 square miles and boasts 350 miles of shoreline, much of it undeveloped. Add the fact that the lake is at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and you've got some of the most scenic views in the region. Camp in the South Cove County Park, where you can launch your boat, play tennis and hang out under pavilions. Go fishing or see why paddle sports are so fun; and visit the beer station at the end of the day for an incredibly diverse brew selection.Shutterstock
South Dakota: Sioux Falls
This is definitely an under-the-radar city that more people should visit, and many of its activities are highly inexpensive. This includes free Moonlight Movies in Fawick Park on Saturday nights, cheap bike rides along the Big Sioux River Greenway and free kid-friendly performances at the theater in McKennan Park. Purchase an all-day pass for the Sioux Falls Trolley for just $1 per person.Shutterstock
Tennessee: Nashville
Tourists who want to have an awesome weekend complete with incredible food and even better music on a modest budget should consider Nashville. There is free music seemingly everywhere, and the city hosts tons of cultural attractions that will entertain you through the weekend. Listen to performers at the famous Bluebird Café, visit the Tennessee Agricultural Museum, watch concerts by the Nashville Symphony and take a stroll along the Music City Walk of Fame - all for free. Take a guided tour of all the food and drink hotspots with Walk Eat Nashville or take your adult friends to whiskey tastings at a distillery.Shutterstock
Texas: Galveston
Ditch the lights of the city for lights on the pier and sand beneath your toes. Galveston, Texas, has 32 miles of beaches, a pier full of attractions and plenty of festivals and concerts, making this a great summer destination that's only an hour away from Houston. There is plenty to do if you are into "spooky" travel. Galveston is one of the most haunted cities in America.Shutterstock
Utah: Park City
Visitors often flock here in the winter, but Park City is amazing in the summer too. Ride up the mountain for a thrill on the alpine slide (one of the longest in the world), ride the alpine coaster or fly through the air on zip lines. Ogle the mountains on bike or by foot, or head to the public Park City Golf Club. Watch Olympic prospects train at Utah Olympic Park and revel in one of many arts and music festivals happening all summer long.Dreamstime
Vermont: Stowe
If you are looking for a low-key getaway with outdoor fun, head to Stowe, a charming small town seated in a valley between Green Mountain peaks. Hike to a beautiful waterfall with swimming holes or wade in local rivers and fly fish. Drive the back roads to Mount Mansfield for gorgeous views or go on a canoe trip to Boyden Valley Winery. Long hiking and biking trails will keep you active.Shutterstock
Virginia: Roanoke
The "Star City of the South" is better known as the recreational and cultural gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the many museums and award-winning wineries to Dixie Caverns and popular craft breweries, there is no shortage of things to do in town. Venture farther outdoors to experience top-tier fishing, paddling and biking among the stunning mountains.Shutterstock
Washington: Chelan
This gorgeous lake town known for averaging an astonishing 300 days of sunshine per year. Adrenaline junkies love Chelan for its access to thrilling activities like zip lining, parasailing and skydiving. In addition to incredible scenery and a seemingly infinite amount of things to do outside, the area is surrounded by more than 20 wineries and was dubbed an official American Viticultural Area (or designated wine grape-growing region) in 2009.Shutterstock
West Virginia: Berkeley Springs
Berkeley Springs was originally known as Bath. It's famous for the abundance of bathhouses due to the many natural springs flowing through town. Berkeley Springs State Park, in the center of the historic spa town, is a unique natural playground that kids love. Adults can enjoy a healing and relaxing dip in the park's heated Roman baths, and George Washington's Bath Tub is a children's favorite. There are free summer concerts every Saturday afternoon from July through August.istockphoto.com
Wisconsin: Bayfield
Bayfield is a charming harbor town. It is the gateway to the spectacular Apostle Islands National Lakeshore - 22 gem-like coastal islands with lighthouses, sea caves, hiking trails, campgrounds, blue-water sailing and some of the best kayaking on the planet. Summertime fills this Lake Superior port with sailboats, kayaks and charter fishing boats. Visit the maritime museum, eclectic retail shops, Victorian bed and breakfasts and golf courses with remarkable views.Shutterstock
Wyoming: Rock Springs
Compared to more popular destinations in Wyoming like Jackson Hole or Grand Teton, Rock Springs - known as the "gateway to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir" - is something of a hidden gem. Flaming Gorge is celebrated for its serene tranquility and is also considered one of the best lakes for cold-water fishing in the entire country. If fishing isn't your thing, partake in any of many exciting water sports like tubing or kayaking. While all these places are fantastic short-term vacation spots for U.S. traveleres, there's a lot to see in one particular place across the pond. If you ever get to travel the globe, make sure to visit the most beautiful country in the world, according to travelers.

Organizing THATCamp Austin
We'd like to share our experience organizing THATCamp Austin with people interested in putting on their own regional THATCamps. I'm not sure we know enough to put together an authoritative how-to, but we can certainly explain what we did.
Organizers: We had four talented co-organizers who volunteered their time. Ben and Peter live in Austin, while Lisa and Jeanne are in Maryland but were attending SAA. As you see in the timeline, there was plenty of work for the off-site organizers to do. Each of us have full-time jobs and children aged between 3 and 6, so most of the work was done late at night or early in the morning.
Budget: $845 (around $490 for shirts, ca. $300 for pizza, remainder spent on office supplies, web hosting, and postage). Initially we planned to fund our costs by asking participants to contribute around $20, but we were able to get commitments for as much as $900 from our sponsors in the week before the event.
Participants: We counted about 50 participants at 7:00. A majority of them were attending SAA, and only 20 hands went up when we asked how many would have attended THATCamp Austin if they weren't attending SAA.
Tools: We used WordPress for the blog, Google Docs for the applicant spreadsheet, Doodle for the timing survey, Google Groups for both the planner mailing list and application tracking, and a GMail account for correspondence.

African American Meeting House
The heart of Boston's Museum of African American History is the African Meeting House, the oldest remaining black church structure in the United States. In the 19th century, the meeting house was central to the local African American community, and it hosted giants of the abolitionist movement. When the growing museum needed space to expand, TPL helped it acquire an adjacent building to serve as its first Education and Technology Center. By providing public access to documents and artifacts, the expansion is helping the museum fulfill its mission of showcasing the organization of the African American community in the formative years of the Republic.
DON'T MISS: The Black Heritage Trail, which passes by the meeting house.

The players lead a group of Knights at King Arthur's court. They
try to continuously increase their group's prestige by placing as close
behind the King at the round table as possible as well as by completing
various assignments.
But be careful! Those who don't react quickly enough will soon find
their fortunes turning and their Knights back on undesirable seats
around the round table again. That can cost a lot of prestige.
Since the King keeps changing positions during the game, and since
a new King is crowned from time to time, the players are forced to
always keep repositioning their Knights around the round table.
Let the competition for the best seats begin!
The winner is the player with the most prestige points at the end of
the game.

AIMCo Invests Globally On Behalf Of 31 Pension, Endowment And Government Funds In The Province Of Alberta.
AIMCo Manages Approximately $103.7 Billion For Alberta Pensions, Endowments And Government Funds.
AIMCo Was Established As A Crown Corporation On January 1, 2008.
We Are The Sixth Largest Investment Management Company In Canada.
AIMCo Employs About 453 People At Its Headquarters In Edmonton, Alberta And Satellite Offices In Toronto, Ontario, London, England and Luxembourg.
Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) is one of Canada's largest and most diversified institutional investment fund managers. The Corporation manages more than $103.7 billion for Alberta pensions, endowments and government funds and is governed by an experienced Board of Directors. AIMCo's goal is to inspire the confidence of Albertans by achieving superior risk-adjusted investment returns. The Corporation was established as a Crown corporation on January 1, 2008. The sole shareholder is the Province of Alberta. Our assets were previously managed by a division of Alberta Treasury Board and Finance.
AIMCo is one of the six largest institutional investment fund managers in Canada. Many other Canadian investment fund managers have a single purpose objective, to invest on behalf of a single client. Alternatively, AIMCo manages funds for a diverse group of Alberta public sector clients. These can be divided into three separate groups: Public Sector Pension Funds, Endowment Funds and Government Mandated Funds.
Public Sector Pension Funds: Similar to other investment fund managers, AIMCo has a significant portfolio of Pension Funds. This portfolio includes, but is not limited to, Alberta public sector employees, university professors and Court of Queen's Bench judges.
Endowment Funds: AIMCo is the largest endowment fund manager in Canada. The endowment funds include the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund and a number of additional large endowments relating to science and technology, medical research and others.
Government Mandated Funds: Essentially, these are fixed-income funds that are the Government of Alberta's bank accounts, which, just like a personal bank account, are focused on capital preservation.
AIMCo is run on commercial principles by a strong Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by the Alberta Minister of Treasury Board and Finance. AIMCo is a corporation with one shareholder – the Government of Alberta. AIMCo was formerly known as Alberta Investment Management, a division within the Alberta Treasury Board and Finance. As of January 1, 2008, AIMCo became a Crown corporation by an Act of the Alberta Legislature.
AIMCo invests on behalf of all Albertans through Public Sector Pension Funds, Endowment Funds and Government Mandated Funds. AIMCo is committed to attaining the highest and best total fund financial outcomes for their clients.
Approximately one-third of AIMCo's investments are on behalf of Alberta Public Sector Pension Plans. Each of the pension plans have their own independent Board whose purpose is to provide due diligence, oversight, as well as set contribution rates and general investment policy guidelines. AIMCo provides expert fund management advice to the plans' boards and investment committees and is able to pool funds to generate better returns through economies of scale.
Alberta has established significant endowment funds for future generations, including the Alberta Heritage Trust Fund. AIMCo, as the largest endowment fund manager in Canada, provides fund management services to these funds. In addition, AIMCo manages Alberta Provincial Government funds.
AIMCo invests in a wide range of securities, such as bonds, treasury bills, public and private equities and real estate.
The goal is to inspire the confidence of Albertans by investing their money wisely and prudently in securities that provide the best possible returns while minimizing risk. AIMCo invests globally but most of its investments are held in North America and Western Europe. The Corporation actively seeks new opportunities that will provide promising investment returns within clearly established levels of risk.
AIMCo's governance structure ensures that it will operate as a Crown corporation with strong accountability for its investment decisions. An experienced Board of Directors, not government, approves investment policies and sets the overall strategic direction of the corporation. The Board of Directors is appointed by the Alberta government and is responsible for hiring the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), defining the CEO's powers, duties and compensation.
The CEO is responsible for hiring a senior management team and developing a corporate business plan, which sets out overall investment objectives and strategies. This plan is approved annually by the Board. The senior management team approves individual investment decisions guided by the policies established by the Board. AIMCo has rigorous accounting and reporting standards and is subject to annual audits by the Office of the Auditor General of Alberta.
AIMCo's Board of Directors appoints an audit committee from its members. The Audit Committee reviews financial statements and the corporation's internal audit and financial control.
All AIMCo employees must comply with strict disclosure standards and adhere to AIMCo's Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards. A Confidential Reporting structure is also in place. AIMCo provides information on its website with details about its various investments and publishes an Annual Report with financial statements.

With VoIP and webcam use on the increase, this handsfree headset will make conversations easier. Offering twin stereo jacks and a built-in microphone, you can equally use this headset with your phone as well as your laptop.
With three pairs of silicon ear buds of varying sizes, you can fit the size right for you. The buds are designed to sit inside the ear and exclude most external noise. We found quality was so good we had to turn our music player down to get the best effects.
The cable is 1.2 metres in length, which gives you plenty of flexibility, but we're not too sure about the build quality as the cable is a little on the thin side - great for keeping weight and size down, but less ideal for everyday use. Fortunately, a carry case is supplied so you can wind them away when not needed.

Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol. But if you have too much, it can build up in your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
You can get high cholesterol by eating foods that have too much cholesterol and saturated fat or by having an inherited condition that causes high cholesterol.

product description
1. Introduction of palm oil mill
1)Palm oil mill have main ten parts: Reception Station,Sterilizer,Threshing,Press,Clarification, Kernel Recover, power station, boiler station, water treatment plant, oil storage tank.
2)We use the Fresh Fruit Bunch, because the palm fruit rancidity is very fast, if the rancidity will be influence the palm crude oil acid value, if the acid value is very high, the refining efficiency will drop.
3)Generally speaking, the palm oil mill be mainly located in Nigeria,Malaysia,Indonesia etc..
2. Main parts of palm oil mill
1) Reception Station: used for loading palm fruit brunch from plantation,transport to sterilizer. Reception station adopt steel structure and concrete structure. Save equipment cost and construction cost.
Have hydraulic control system, hydraulic door open/off automatic achieve continuous operation. Reduce operator, operate more easily and improve work efficiency.
2)Sterilizing Tank: The sterilizing tank uses direct steam to process, which can reduce activity of the enzyme,prevent the rancidity, ensure the good quality of the crude oil. At the same time, it is good for the threshing process.
3)Threshing station: Fresh palm fruits separate from bunches by thresher rotary drum rotating. Palm fruits are conveyed to digester by elevator.Empty bunches are coveyed out of factory by scraper conveyor. Thresher shaft uses once forging technology. The equipment is stronger and has longer life. At the same time, our company developes non-shaft thresher drived by chain. In this way, it reduces power loss and saves production cost.
4)Digestor: Inside of digestor, there are some baffle and stirring arm, under the drive of top motor.Baffles break the palm fruit, then heat palm fruit pulp. So that can press oil easily. Get higher oil yield. Meanwhile there is directly steam inlet digester, to adjust material moisture.
5)Pressing Machine:The palm fruit oil yield increases by adjusting material moisture and temperature in digester. Digester uses liquid level control, so material can distribute automatically and equipment runs fully automatically. Pressing machine uses hydraulic control system to adjust spacing between pressing bolts. So it can be suitable for various palm fruit species and guarantee the oil yield.
6) Kernel Recovery Station: Using air duct system to separate palm shell and kernel. Meanwhile,using special mud bath equipment to separate palm kernel and shell according to their different density. So it has high separation rate. There are some fiber cover the palm nut, in order to get palm kernel, should remove the fiber and palm shell.Fiber and shell is very good resource for boiler fuel.
7)Clarification Station: Oil purifying system, using latest technology, on the premise that guarantee oil quality, we try our best to reduce machine inverstment and oil loss. In actul production, it has been verified that using new technology can reduce oil loss below 1.3%.
8)Power station: customers usually use generators to produce power for the plant.
9)Boiler station: Offering high temperature steam to sterilize the palm fruit bunch and so on.
10)Water treatment plant: Offering water for the mill.
11)Oil storage tank: used to store the crude palm oil. Inside the tank, there is heating pipe to prevent the palm oil becoming solid.
12)Palm oil refinery technology:Oil refining is based on the difference of oil and the impurities in the physical and chemical properties, separate the grease and impurity by some technical ways, in order to improve the oil edible, storage stability and safety process. Oil refing process is divided into chemical refining and physical refining.
13)Palm oil fractionation technology is a new oil processing technology.Using palm oil fractionation technology can get 8â,10â,14â,18â,24â,33â,44â,55â etc, different melting point's palm oil product. At the same time, it can also be used to do cottonseed oil, fish oil ,pork oil and other animal oils. This prominently improves the added value of the oil products, increase the economic benefit of enterprise.

Recognizing the Next Generation of Aviation Innovators
Tom Prete, vice president, Engineering, Pratt & Whitney, recently participated as a blue ribbon judge in the national finals of the Real World Design Challenge held at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Washington, D.C. The challenge is a national aviation design competition for high school students with the goal of increasing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
"The Real World Design Challenge encourages innovation as well as the future generation of engineers and scientists," said Prete. "It was exciting to participate in the event and see such talented and passionate students present their designs."
For the challenge, students were paired with professional mentors from the FAA and other agencies and companies to design a small unmanned aircraft system, including one or more unmanned aerial vehicle. The students also developed a business plan to support the commercial application of their submissions in response to a hypothetical mission scenario that would use the unmanned aircraft system to locate a missing, injured child.
A team of six students from Marianas High School in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands won for designing an unmanned aircraft for search and rescue missions. The students' aircraft — made of fabric, fiber glass, and aluminum — was designed to be powered by an electrical motor recharged by air turbines that use lithium ion batteries.
The Real World Design Challenge began in 2008 through a partnership among industry, government, academia, and non-profit organizations. The partners pooled $263 million in resources and enlisted state governors to bring attention to the program. In its first year, 10 states participated in the challenge. The FAA's Aviation and Space Education Program, in collaboration with Aviation Safety and other lines of business coordinated the agency's efforts in support of the program.

Theme: The NRM Solver
The aim of the assignment is to give students experience in programming routine computational procedures and generate the solutions. In essence, we computerize mathematics. In this assignment, you are going to computerize generation of a root for a polynomial of order 10 using the Newton Raphson Method (NRM).
The problem:
The generic ten-order polynomial is in form of
P(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2 + a3x3+ ... + a10x10
ai is any integer.
The NRM uses the formula xn+1 = xn p (xn)/p(xn). p(x) is the first derivative of p(x). The user chooses the first estimate x0 and the subsequent estimates x1, x2, . Are generated. The iterations continue until the difference between the two successive estimates is less than the acceptable error margin or the so many iterations have been made.
You are required to develop a program that solves a ten order polynomial using the NRM. The program should prompt the user input the coefficients and a0, a1 and a10 should be non zero. The program should use the first estimate to be 1.5, the acceptable error margin should be taken to be 0.00000001 and the iterations should be considered to be too many if they exceed 70.
