The Technology Solution That Enabled Pdo'S Yibal Khuff Sudair Project To Meet Oman'S Highly Stringent Emissions Regulations
Much depends on Petroleum Development Oman's (PDO) Yibal Khuff Sudair integrated development project. When it comes online in 2019, it will produce oil and gas to sustain the Sultanate of Oman's industrial growth and provide gas for enhanced oil recovery techniques to boost the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from the country's other oilfields.
As with any mega-project, there are significant challenges. Chief among these at Yibal Khuff Sudair are the nature of the gas produced, which will contain about 3% hydrogen sulphide, 5% carbon dioxide and other contaminants such as mercaptans, carbonyl sulphide and nitrogen, and the export gas total sulphur specification of <5 ppmv.
Even more challenging, though, is the combination of the ultra-high sulphur-recovery efficiency (SRE) specification of 99.9%, and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emission regulations, which, at 35 mg/Nm3, are among the most stringent in the world.
"The SRE requirement is in line with many other countries' regulations," says Rajiv Srinivasan, Senior Process Engineer, PDO. "However, the SO2 emission requirement is much lower than the International Energy Agency World Bank guidelines for sulphur recovery units (SRU), which stipulate less than 150 mg/Nm3. The Omani government was probably ahead of the game with this one."
The combination of these two regulatory requirements, Srinivasan says, made the design of the gas treatment and sulphur recovery facilities extremely challenging.
It was clear to PDO that best-in-class solutions would be necessary for the project to comply with the standards. Cost would also be an issue, as achieving ultra-high SRE levels typically sees costs increase dramatically.
Working with Shell Global Solutions, PDO investigated the potential of various sulphur-recovery technologies and flue gas desulphurisation solutions.
"There were only a few technology choices available on the market to meet the stringent regulatory framework, and just two that could do it at a reasonable cost," says Srinivasan.
One of these involved a regenerable SO2 scrubbing process: Shell Global Solutions' CANSOLV® tail gas treating plus (TGT+) technology, which is based on a Cansolv Technologies Inc. process.
This post-combustion regenerable wet scrubbing process uses a proprietary aqueous amine solvent to remove SO2. The captured SO2 is recycled as a pure stream to the SRU reaction furnace, where it reacts with incoming hydrogen sulphide in the acid gas to form elemental sulphur. SRU tail gas and other sulphur-containing gas streams are directed to a thermal oxidiser where all the sulphur compounds are converted to SO2. The incinerated gas is cleaned and cooled in a wash tower before entering the CANSOLV SO2 absorber, where SO2 is selectively removed.
Crucially, the CANSOLV solvent is highly selective to SO2. No other compounds in the gas are absorbed: they are discharged directly to atmosphere through the stack. The SO2-containing solvent leaves the absorber and is regenerated using steam to produce a concentrated SO2 stream that can be accommodated by the SRU.
The other technology was flue gas desulphurisation. However, there were concerns about this: the large volumes of caustic necessary and the disposal requirements would lead to onerous logistics. In addition, as a specialist technology, the flue gas desulphurisation unit would have to be sourced from a different licensor to the rest of the gas treating block. That meant that the 35 mg/Nm3 SO2 requirement would be extremely difficult to guarantee.
Srinivasan explains that the project team was keen to avoid sourcing units from different licensors. "We have been in similar situations on other projects: the battery limit conditions of one unit did not match the battery limit conditions of another because different licensors supplied them."
Instead, Shell was able to license and take design responsibility for the entire gas treating and sulphur recovery block. "The package we have licensed from Shell Global Solutions involves a relatively complicated line-up of seven technologies, which are all heavily interlinked," Srinivasan explains. "For PDO, as the customer, having an integrated licence is a major advantage. It means that Shell Global Solutions assumes responsibility for making sure that the interfaces between the various units are robust. It also maximises the scope for optimisation."
At Yibal Khuff Sudair, this optimisation extended beyond the gas treating block; many of the decisions that Srinivasan's team made had positive impacts on the overall central processing facility, not just the gas treating complex. "For instance, we were able to move the compression requirement of the project from the sour gas side to the sweet gas side by reducing the facility landing pressure," he says. "Shell wanted to understand our needs very clearly, and we worked together extremely closely to arrive at this solution."
To facilitate the transfer of knowledge and best practices, some PDO process engineers were seconded to the Shell project team. One of these was Ahmed Azizi, who relocated to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, during the preparation of the basic design package.
Here, Azizi was heavily involved in the simulation of the project's SRU and the incinerator. As a result, he has captured and documented the key operating philosophies, constraints and best practices associated with the technology. PDO will leverage this information to help overcome operational difficulties or optimise the units in the future. This secondment, he says, has given him a better feel for the sensitivities in the design and the design decisions that the project team took.
"It was also a fantastic experience," he adds. "Being in such an environment full of multidisciplinary expertise was just wonderful. If you have any technical issues you can work them through with a seasoned professional and develop solutions with them."
The technologies that PDO has licensed and the design that the two organisations developed through such close collaboration are set to achieve ultra-high sulphur-recovery levels and adhere to some of the most stringent emissions standards that the industry has seen. "We have pushed the technological boundaries with this line-up and, as a result, we are able to set new standards," says Srinivasan. "The project has been an enormous success."

number 302 - wiring
Got a couple of books which say that too much wiring will choke the sap flow and cause die back. I've done some bigger wiring on my corkbark shohin elm, and I'm now starting to do some finer wiring to perk up the ramification (see, I learned that word here ). Is there such a thing as too much wiring? Some boffins have told me that neat wiring is purely aesthetic and not important, but then I've read that crossing stuff will choke the sap too. Opinions please?

Re: number 302 - wiring
There's probably only "too much wiring" going on if you hate it as much as I do.
If you wire so tightly that you choke the sap flow, you're wiring too danged tight.

Re: number 302 - wiring
Call me 'Mr Picky' but the best results for cork bark elm is cut and grow, and minimum wiring to correct faults from previous work.bobby little wrote:wiring on my corkbark shohin elm
As for too much wiring... on trees that do require lots of wiring... Junipers, Pines, yews etc. only wire to achieve the result you want and no more.
For sure there is nothing worse than a tree fully wired with 'bright' aluminum wire being shown in an exhibition... not that you (bobby) would dream of doing it I am sure.
Call me 'Mr Saddo' but there is a kind of beauty in a pine 'perfectly' wired with copper (preferably NOT in an exhibition)
And Finally... I HATE demonstrations whereby an 'artist' takes three hours to wire a tree (in silence) and 10 minutes at the end 'styling' and finally 'explaining' what he has done...
Rant over... Now off to a Gig

About Me
My father's mother was a spiritualist minister medium who communicated with the spirit world. My Father was a Republican Zeus Capitalist businessman who turned his back on his mother's church where he had spoken from the pulpit, because of being ridiculed for having a witch as a mother. He also turned his back on his ability to "see the future". I learned this about him the year before he died. Before he died he disgustedly said "You are just like my Mother!". Well, i took that to be a fabulous compliment because i always thought he was so good at "judging" a person. My mother gave birth to me, her 3rd child, vaginally and quickly and naturally back in 1955 and breastfed me, when most mothers had gone to the corporate pushed junk bottle milk, and when told i did not weigh enough at 6 months and she needed to switch to the bottle, she told the doctor forget that, after a whole summer of not swimming in the lake d/t breastfeeding, she wasn't gonna stop then! At 21yo and in nursing school- i could not figure out what and how to assess peoples "spiritually", it was a HUGE disconnect. AND, i never even heard the word midwife until i was out of nursing school!
Now, at -soon to be - 58 yrs old. I am a certified nurse midwife attending out of hospital births lovingly. practicing shamanic spiritual healing. And know everything is spirit. and still working on gentling myself from my learned behavior of raging from my dear father. serving women, empowering them. dismantling their beleifs instilled by the patriarchy discipline for writing, isolated in rural tea party minded community midwifery, direct action, civil disobedience, nurse practitioner, amazon woman living
My Vision
Birth center on every corner, providing loving and gentle care to mothers newborns and family

I have spent most of the past two weeks traveling in Canada with the "Ivy Plus" group -- admissions officers from other Ivy League schools, plus Stanford. As a form of light-hearted competition, we admissions representatives started trying to one up each other with fun facts about our schools, often centered around color (really, how can brown compete with green?) or the number of athletes/medalists we had in the recent Olympic games. I know Dartmouth always has a great showing at the Olympics -- in fact, I have a trip planned to the Winter Games in Vancouver this February to see several of my Dartmouth classmates compete in skiing & biathlon! However, I had never researched the full extent of our Olympic presence until prompted by the friendly rivalries from peers. The stats below are pretty impressive. Go Big Green!
From "Ask Dartmouth":
Has Dartmouth had a strong presence in the Olympics over the years? What is the medal tally of Dartmouth Olympians?
Dartmouth has a long and distinguished Olympic history, dating back a century to when Arthur B. Shaw 1908 won a bronze medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the Games of the Fourth Olympiad in London in 1908.
Over the years, Dartmouth has sent nearly 150 representatives to the Games, including all but one Summer Olympics since 1908 and every Winter Olympics since the winter Games was founded in 1924. Among the Big Green's notable Olympians are Dominic Seiterle '98, who won a gold medal rowing for Canada at the 2008 Games in Beijing; Adam Nelson '97, who won the silver medal in shot put at the 2000 and 2004; four-time Olympian Cammy Myler '92, who competed in luge; and Carlie Geer '80, the first Dartmouth woman to medal, taking the silver in crew at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. Dartmouth's Olympic roster also includes 12 coaches, in sports including skiing, kayak, basketball, diving, and ice hockey.
As for the medal count: through 2008, Dartmouth athletes have claimed 20 gold, 21 silver, and 12 bronze medals.

The Seoul International Travel Mart 2017 (SITM 2017) wrapped up its five-day run at the Grand Hilton Seoul on Sept. 15. The SITM 2017 attracted about 800 Korean and 400 foreign tourism companies from 50 countries. The SITM 2017 was jointly hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Visit Korea Committee, and the Korea Association of Travel Agents (KATA). SITM is designed to help small tourism companies in Korea, who cannot afford to hold overseas IR sessions or travel fairs. SITM boosts their business opportunities and supports overseas sales by inviting travel agencies of major countries with inbound tourists.
The SITM 2017, the 3rd rendition of exhibition, rose in terms of the number of participating countries and exhibitors. The number of participating countries increased to 50, including countries from the Middle East, Europe, Americas and Africa, which were not generally accessible by Korean tourism companies. Participating companies surged from 800 in 2016, 300 foreign and 500 Korean companies to 1,200 companies 400 foreign and 800 Korean companies.
Aside from Korean travel agencies, Korean start-ups, wedding tourism companies and others from diverse areas participated as sellers. About 400 negotiation tables for foreign buyers were set up to host one-on-one meetings with their Korean counterparts.
Theme tourism publication zones and other publication pavilions were expanded to 100 for the SITM 2017.
Seoul's representative tourism attractions were featured in promotional booths, including a pedestrian road of the former Seoul Station Overpass, the Seoul Dulaegil (Circular Road), and the Seoul Bamdokkaebi Night Market, as well as hanbok (traditional Korean costume) experiences and VR experience zones.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government collaborated with other city and provincial government bodies to display and publicize prominent tourism resources.
They jointly cooperated in the operation of publicity booths, tour explanation sessions and familiarization tours. The move was designed not only to raise Korea's tourism competitiveness but also to invigorate the tourism industries in regional areas.
The Organizing Committee for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, five municipal and provincial governments, and the Korea Visit Committee set up separate booths to promote and publicize their tourism resources. They hosted tourism explanation sessions for foreign travel agencies to introduce "theme tourism" content and operated 15 familiarization tour courses connecting Seoul and major provincial tourist destinations to help foreign visitors see Seoul and Korean culture.
In particular, the SITM 2017 invited students from four tourism high schools and five tourism colleges to be fair supporters, allowing them to operate publicity booths and participate in expert seminars. This was part of efforts to make the SITM Korea's representative tourism festival of collaboration among industry, academia and government circles. Dir.-Gen. Ahn Joon-ho, in charge of tourism and sports at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, said, "The supporting of business exchanges between the Korean tourism industry and the global market through the SITM will lead to growth of the Seoul tourism market, and we'll make it an event to give practical benefits to more companies."
Here's a look at Korea's major tourism attractions presented by the Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, and Chungcheongbuk-do governments during the SITM 2017.

New Hampshire Nuns Will Drop Jobs Lawsuit Against Diocese
Four nuns in New Hampshire who sued their bishop, their superintendent, and the diocesan school board after being fired from their teaching jobs last year will be reinstated as part of an out-of-court settlement announced May 19.
The four nuns--Sisters Honora Reardon, Catherine Colliton, Justine Colliton, and Mary Rita Furlong--have agreed to apply for new teaching positions at a school other than the one from which they were fired in February 1982--the Sacred Heart School in Hampton.
In return, the Catholic Diocese of Manchester has agreed to help the three teachers and one principal find new jobs.
The agreement ends a lengthy and highly publicized court battle that had gone as far as the New Hampshire Supreme Court and was, prior to the settlement, scheduled for a further hearing at Rockingham County Superior Court last week.
As part of the settlement, the nuns have agreed to drop their demand for a public hearing on their firing and to abandon their breach-of-contract suit against Bishop Odore J. Gendron and the diocesan education officials.
The diocese has agreed to revise its contract language to avoid similar disputes in the future.
In a joint statement, both sides reaffirmed their respect for and religious commitment to each other.
The settlement was first discussed among lawyers as they prepared for the scheduled hearing. Then, at the invitation of Bishop Gendron, both sides met on May 4 to discuss further the possibility of a settlement.
The nuns, all members of the Sisters of Mercy order, are the first American nuns to have taken their bishop to court.
The nuns were notified in February 1982 that their teaching contracts would not be renewed for the next year. Bishop Gendron publicly supported this decision in a letter to a Manchester, N.H., newspaper.
In an unsigned diocesan memorandum, the nuns had been accused of being uncooperative with school officials and "cliquish," said their counsel, John H. McEachern.
The nuns said they were dismissed based on insubstantial evidence and denied due process under the law and under their contract with the parochial school board. They filed suit against the bishop and the diocesan education officials, asking the court for a declaratory judgment of breach-of-contract.
A New Hampshire superior-court judge said that to consider the claims against the bishop and the diocesan superintendent--both church officials--would violate the First Amendment and he dismissed the suit.
However, the New Hampshire Supreme Court in December 1982 ruled that the suit belonged in civil court and told the lower court to reconsider the matter.
"The court said that the dispute could be interpreted by the civil court under the 'neutral-principles-of-law' doctrine," Mr. McEachern said.
This doctrine, he said, holds that courts can determine the nondoctrinal issues in disputes arising out of church controversies by applying well-established principles of law in a "neutral" manner that neither advances nor inhibits the free exercise of religion.
The doctrine was outlined in a 1979 U.S. Supreme Court case called Jones v. Wolf, he said, which involved a dispute about ownership of a church in Georgia.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court's decision marks "the first time that the principles announced in Jones v. Wolf were ap-plied to a teaching situation," Mr. McEachern said.
"This was a major case in terms of establishing where the line is between church and state," he said.
The major result of the case, he said, was the decision that civil courts have jurisdiction to decide nondoctrinal issues arising in a parochial-school context.
The case is called Reardon v. Lemoyne.

- First and foremost (and I'm sure you could probably guess what this one is going to be), we want to do some major maintenance on our scheduling. We hope to space out our photo sessions and weddings enough that we're able to get caught up on editing in between them, as much as possible. I realize that this may not always be the most realistic goal, but we're really going to work hard at it. Being completely caught up on editing is one of the most amazing feelings and we weren't aware of how gratifying it actually is until we were able to have a few true days off over the holidays. It was such a huge sense of accomplishment and we want to be able to feel that as much as we possibly can, to minimize stress and to keep our sanity. We have absolutely no choice but to get it under control. It is the only way to stay positive, be true to ourselves, and still thoroughly enjoy what we do.
- We want to allow ourselves more time to learn and grow. There are so many different aspects and techniques of photography, whether is be with lighting, camera settings, posing, location, etc... We want to explore and discover new options that we haven't came across yet. This should prove to be a big advantage to ourselves and our clients. We are anxious to bring new perspectives and ideas to the table, as we expand our work and build on how far we've already come.
- We would love to do more travelling, both in our personal and professional lives. This, of course, demands goal number one to be carried out before it can happen, but we are optimistic that it can be done. We want to photograph more destination or not-so-local weddings, in addition to the ones we do that are closer to home. Travelling has always been a love of mine, so I am very excited that we both have this goal. Of course, we will, most likely, have to do some exploring into the best ways to market ourselves for that, but we are up for the challenge.
- It would be such an honor to have our work on display somewhere, whether it be at a hospital, airport, restaurant, etc... or in a magazine. This is something we will definitely have to look into, as far as how to go about it, but if we're able to accomplish this goal, it will be one of our main staples in 2011.
There are going to be a few changes coming to our business in 2011 that are already in the works and we couldn't be more excited about them! We already consider our work in photography to be one of our most treasured gifts and we hold it very dear to our hearts. With that said, we have finally came to the sole conclusion that we should do more to make sure it is also presented in the best way possible. This particular change will not only do a lot to protect our name and benefit us, but also our clients. Stay tuned, we will elaborate more on this as it is introduced into our business. We are truly looking forward to introducing many new, positive angles to our business!
We cannot wait to meet all of the new faces that we are going to be photographing in 2011! 2010 has surely proven to be a year of making new friendships and strengthening some of the ones that were already there, thanks to our work. We look forward to all of the opportunities and experiences that this new year has to offer and we are going to approach them with smiles on our faces!!

Episode 33: "Were and Tear"
- You can watch this episode on youtube here.
- You can buy Storm King's Thunder here.
- I have a Dice, Camera, Action Episode Guide here.
- Check out the Dice, Camera, Action section on reddit.
OK! It is nice to have DCA back. This episode is fun and laid back. I find that these online D&D shows are very good to listen to while you're doing something else, like drawing or driving.
We have a guest star today. It's Aram Vartiam, who is returning as Emil Toranescu. He was on the show last season as this character but he really didn't get to do much, so it's nice to see him back.
Emil is from Barovia. It seems like we're really getting a lot of Curse of Strahd stuff poured into Storm King, which is really interesting. Chris wrote both of these adventures and now we get to watch him smoosh them together in weird and unpredictable ways.
The Party
(Anna) Evelyn - Human Paladin of Lathander
(ProJared) Diath - Human Rogue
(Nathan) Paultin - Human Bard
(Holly) Strix - Tiefling Sorcerer
Last time, the adventurers took refuge in a lodge with a dwarf named Zog. Murderbot, the evil mannequin/golem/toy of doom, came down the chimney and was freaking everyone out.
We resume with Paultin trying to make buddies with Murderbot. Paultin casts suggestion on Murderbot to make friends. Paultin is in his tiny hut and at one point there's some thought put into how they could use it as a toilet, let it vanish and then summon a new one. A poop-filled magic dome, that's what D&D is all about.
The group argues about whether it is safe to keep Murderbot. Strix is so creeped out that she insists that she is going to go sleep out in the blizzard. The group sort of calls her bluff and she goes outside.
Owlbear Hug: The Owlbear is out there! It's right by the door. The group had left a waffle out for it last session. We couldn't tell if the white dragon ate the owlbear last time. I guess it didn't.
The owlbear tackles Strix, gets her in a bear hug and drags her into the snow.
Strix smells like waffles. Paultin comes outside and tries to cast sleep, which is more likely to put Strix to sleep than the owlbear. He rolls low. Nobody's asleep.
Strix has five waffles in her robe. She throws one. The owlbear runs after it.
Strix crawls back into the lodge.
|Murderbot and the dancing mindflayer
Evelyn uses her incredible strength and the aid of her trusty steed Mourning Glory to bring it in to the stables. Strix helps with an enlarge/reduce spell.
Werewolves: The next day, the group is ready to go to the citadel that Zog needs to deliver a message to.
While the heroes are taking a whiz, werewolves show up. It is Emil, the werewolf who escaped Castle Ravenloft with Paultin. Emil is accompanied by his wife, another NPC from Curse of Strahd. I don't think the group got to meet her in Barovia.
They have come to warn the group that other werewolves from Barovia have come here to take back the idol that the group used to trap Strahd in. I wonder who is directing them to do so? Baba Lysaga? Rahadin was slain. Escher?
The werewolves will be here soon. Emil says that the group's best bet to fend off the attackers is to become werewolves themselves! Evelyn is overjoyed because she gets to assume her were-pomeranian form again! That's awesome.
Strix is going to cast a spell (remove curse?) when it is over to remove the lycanthropy.
Sprawling Battle: The bad guys show up and we are in combat. As the battle progress, it spills out of the lodge and everyone is scattered. Murderbot shoots a dart at them but they are immune to non-magic. Strix says, "Sorry, those darts only kill children."
A creature dominates Paultin and orders him to get the puppet,
Diath runs by him to help Strix. Paultin feels compelled to make an opportunity attack. Nate doesn't know what his plus to hit is or even what melee weapon he uses. This is like when I ran games in the game store for people who played every week for years but didn't even own dice or bring a pencil.
Paultin hits Diath, who uses uncanny dodge to take half damage.
Paultin's shadow... is back? It separated from him in Barovia and as far as I know, Paultin has no shadow. People in chat bring it up, and Chris says that it is back but doesn't elaborate. Interesting! It attacks Diath, too.
Strix is in gaseous form, which is protecting her from the would-be puppet snatchers. She becomes corporeal and races into the lodge to take cover near the owlbear.
Outside, someone has come to help. It's... DRIZZ'T! Wow. That's where we stop.
Fun show! I would like it if this show was on every week all year. I guess that's not feasible, but I really enjoy it. So far this season, he group is hilarious and it's just fun to watch them play no matter what is actually happening in the game.
I feel like there's something of a "glut" when it comes to D&D shows. There's a million of them out there now, but I'm not sure who has time to watch them. They are all so long that you really can't devote your time to more than one or two. That seems like it will make it hard for most shows to get traction.
For example, Maze Arcana made a CGI intro of Eberron stuff. It's amazing! It's just hard to find the time to watch these other shows. I can sample them, but following them weekly is difficult.
I hope somebody watches them. We need some kind of way to know what's out there, what's going on in each of the shows and who the players/DMs to make note of are.
If I had the time, I'd watch and type up summaries of as many shows as I can, but that's a full time job all on its own.

Windows 10 Computer Boot Up Extremely Slow. How Can I Speed Up Windows 10 Startup?
Your computer boots up extremely slowly with a black screen after upgrading to Windows 10 OS or installing the latest Windows 10 updates? Or Windows 10 PC startup speed becomes unbearably slow in recent days? And really want to fix this computer problem and optimize your Windows 10 startup speed? No worry! Computer performance, including the startup speed, does slow down gradually over the time. And, fortunately, by taking right measures, you are still possible to restore its performance and increase the startup speed as you wish. Go on reading this article to learn the simple steps in details.
Generally, in daily use, Windows 10 computer slow boot issues are able to be caused by many reasons, like viruses, too many trash files, folders, games and programs, too many startup applications, low hard disk free space problems and more. You'd better find the actual reasons behind your slow boot problems and optimize your PC startup speed correspondingly:
Here are some most critical simple steps for you to increase your Windows startup speed:
Step1. Delete All Useless Files, Folders, Processes and the Likes
Honestly, the too slow startup speed problems of your Windows 10 computer are able to happen when your computer has held too many trash files, folders, processes, programs and more. And in order to speed up your startup, the first thing you are supposed to do is to delete all useless files and the like information off from your computer internal hard drive as below:
*Empty Recycle Bin
Computer Recycle Bin is filled with many unwanted files, folders, applications and more data, you'd better go right click to empty it completely.
*Open Task Manager to end all unnecessary processes
Do not make sure whether there are still some unnecessary progresses running in the backgrounds? In case that too many progresses used in the backgrounds also slow down your computer startup, merely press Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the computer Task Manager interface, select all unwanted programs and End them all there.
*Uninstall all unwanted programs, games and tools on your PC.
And the installed unwanted programs, games and tools, especially some really large ones, do occupy computer resources and are possible to slow down computer startup speed. Hence, also uninstall and wipe all unwanted ones completely off from your Windows 10 computers.
*Check every folder and partition to erase all useless information.
Of course, if you cannot recall how much of your PC hard drive data is useless and where it is all located, merely go check every folder and partition to remove all useless information completely.
Step2. Use Fast Startup to Faster Your Windows 10 Startup Speed
Honestly, unlike other versions of Windows operating system, including Windows XP, 7 or 8, the Windows 10 operating system has especially offered a FastSartup tool for users to increase the PC startup speed. What you are supposed to do is only to find and start it like this:
Firstly, right click on the battery icon of your PC and Choose Power Options there.
Secondly, select Choose what the power button does option and pick Change setting that are currently unavailable
Thirdly, turn on fast startup and save changes there.
Step3. Run Antivirus Tool to Clean All Viruses
In some actual cases, the potential viruses are also possible to occupy extremely large computer hard drive space and put a negative impact on the startup speed. Hence, when you are not in hurry, also run your antivirus software to scan all your computer hard drives/partitions and clean all viruses and threats up.
Step4. Defrag or Format Computer Hard Drive to Get More Free Space
In order to fix Windows 10 slow boot issue, you also can try to defrag or format your PC hard drive space to get more free space. Merely remember to extract all important data out before your perform a drive defragging or formatting process there.
After completing all steps mentioned above, go reboot your PC and see whether it start up faster.
1). Delete, Clean, Defrag or Format Computer Storage Device without Data Backups
No matter whether you have followed all above steps to delete your files, clean Recycle Bin or defrag/format your hard drive, you'd better extract and save all important documents, movies, images, games and files to other hard drives or storage devices well firstly in case that you will unexpectedly lose something forever.
2). Recover Deleted, Lost or Inaccessible Files back with Data Recovery Software
If you do have accidentally deleted partitions, wiped crucial files and folders or emptied Recycle Bin, deleted file recovery software or Windows 10 Recycle Bin recovery tool helps you a lot. And when you format some hard drive with important files and folders, format recovery programs are able to take your lost data back. Just remember to save no new data on the storage device with data loss troubles to avoid worse data loss situations.

This is a little project I posted to the MOSD Blog last Friday. I thought y'all may want a peek at it!
We have all seen paint chips in the hardware or home improvement store, and we've all seen fabric swatches and even cardstock swatches. The other day, I was in a stamping store (Stamping Details in Poway, CA) and they had some tags which they had turned into ink swatches! What a cool idea! I am forever forgetting which inks I have and which I don't, so I thought a swatch would be a cool thing to carry in my purse. However, it needs to be small and durable.
I had a Petite (key chain) album from MOSD in my stash and thought it would make a cool swatch book for my Tim Holtz Distress Inks. The album is 2x2 and comes with two clear covers and four chipboard pages. I used some scrap chipboard left over from another MOSD project to make some extra pages for my swatch book. The chipboard was easy to cut with my Fiskars trimmer and I rounded the corners with my Round-it-All tool.
I covered each page with white cardstock (from the scrap bag!) and then stamped an image with each ink color, then labeled the pages with a Zig pen. Easy peasy! I used some black Staz-On ink to decorate the little clear acrylic covers.
When I add more ink colors, I can just add more pages! And this is small enough to stick in my purse so that when I'm in a craft store I don't have to try to remember which ink I still need!
And aren't these Hero Arts stamps to die for?! I've had these ladies in my stash for a long time and they are just too fun for words!

(ShareCast News) – Property investment company Palace Capital announced on Tuesday that it has exchanged contracts to acquire the freehold of Boulton House, on Chorlton Street in Manchester, for a consideration of £10.95m.
The AIM-traded firm said this is potentially subject to a downward adjustment of up to £0.4m for rent guarantees and other costs.
Completion of the deal is expected on 30 September, with the acquisition being funded by a new debt facility from one of Palace's existing lenders, with credit committee approval already received.
Palace Capital's board described Boulton House as a 75,000 sq ft multi-let 1970s office building in the centre of Manchester, in the popular Portland Street corridor.
It sits within the Midtown district within a few minutes' walk of Piccadilly Station, in an area where "considerable regeneration" is underway.
Palace Capital said it views Boulton House as a medium term development opportunity.
"This acquisition continues our strategy of purchasing assets in growth locations," said chief executive Neil Sinclair.
"We have been interested in Manchester for some time but up until now we were not able to secure a property which fulfilled our acquisitions criteria and rental return."
Sinclair said the board believes Boulton House will respond to its brand of asset management to maximise the value of the property.
"Initially this will be achieved by letting the vacant space whilst in the medium term there is considerable development potential," he explained.

Spring 2017 Current Fashion Trends – Guide to Spring and Summer Styles
2. Florals
3. Assymetrical Shoulder Cut Outs
4. Slitted And Cape Sleeves
5. Foldover Waist
6. Wrap-Arounds
7. Hats
8. Embroidery
9. White Footwear
10. Pops Of Color
"Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing,"so says Alexander Wang. So, with the top fashion capitals completing their runway shows one-by-one this season, here are the trends that have captured our attention.
Let us take the Spring fashion trends from the runways to the streets, shall we? Here are the fashion statements to watch out for and to wear:
1. Fringe
From the fringe dresses at the Ralph Lauren show to the sexy booties and utilitarian bags we've seen on the runways, it's time to get this trend on you.
2. Florals
What else would you expect but a blossoming of all the brightest from nature teeming with life. By the way, this season loves it dainty and nothing but lady. See what Tory Burch has in store and take your inspiration from there.
3. Assymetrical Shoulder Cut Outs
Whether it be a crocheted topper or a full length dress, the most chic way of showing off your collars and shoulders this season is by giving a peep over at one side only.
4. Slitted And Cape Sleeves
Ladies, get ready to fly this season! We're setting aside the usual halters and dramatically slitting our sleeves this season.
5. Foldover Waist
One of the not-so-common styles we're seeing this fashion season is this. Find them on high-waisted pants, pencil cut skirts or culottes and pair with your pumps for full chic effect.
6. Wrap-Arounds
RELATED – Women's Shoes: Spring Shoes – Platform Heels, Booties & Pumps
Whether these be robes, trench coats or dresses, learn to top and tie them up into a bow this season because this trend will be big.
7. Hats
We've seen chic hats worn on the Ralph Lauren runways as well as on many others, including Sonia Rykiel. Get that bonus of adding another layer of protection from the sun's UV when you wear this accessory.
8. Embroidery
We are loving them on the garments and we totally embrace what Gucci did with the beautiful pumps and booties on its runway. The beauty of these embroidered embellishments is that they are better off created with your own hands. Make it your identity: your fashion statement. Need more creative inspiration? Check out Dsquared.
REALTED – 5 Must Have Shoes to Complete your Wardrobe
9. White Footwear
Tory Burch is still embracing those white trainers. This season, we are also seeing beautiful white booties from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini and white flat gladiator sandals from Louis Vuitton.
10. Pops Of Color
Even the edgy Louis Vuitton had oranges and yellows on its Cruise Collection. We loved the fuschias too but we did freeze at the sight of the artsy dresses from Proensa Schouler.
Get you fashion hat on because now is the time to revamp that closet once again. Spring is coming and you don't want to be late to check out those beautiful blooms.

State Senator Royce West of Dallas requested an opinion from the attorney general asking whether a school district is exempt from the assessment of a municipal drainage fee under the Municipal Drainage Utility Systems Act (Texas Local Government Code Chapter 552, Subchapter C). In general, the Act gives municipalities the authority to: establish a municipal drainage utility system; provide rules for the use, operation, and financing of the system; assess, levy, and collect fees to fund the system; and provide exemptions of certain persons from its rules.
Section 552.053 states that a municipality may exempt a school district from ordinances, resolutions, and rules of a municipal drainage utility system. Only property owned by a school district located wholly or partly in El Paso is statutorily exempt.
Texas Tax Code section 11.11(a) states that property owned by a political subdivision of the state is exempt from taxation if the property is used for public purposes. If the municipal drainage fee is considered a tax, a school district should be exempt.
LAF filed a brief with the Texas Attorney General arguing that the Act exempts school districts from paying municipal drainage fees and that such fees are taxes from which school districts are exempt. The attorney general issued opinion GA-1080, opining that a court would likely conclude that the exemption in the Act is permissive, not mandatory, and that a municipality has the discretion to decide whether to grant an exemption.

I went through the high tea society blog and found the Langham's tea session interesting so I went to their website. What a surprise, they have been collaborating with Burch & Purchese to create a series of "bespoke" Afternoon teas. Having seen this, I called my friends straight away and made the booking.
The series are offered on selected Friday every month till October 2012, so you better pick a date and call for a booking. The cost is $69/person which includes three tiers of FOOD, unlimited tea, hot chocolate or coffee.
I was so excited because its my first experience of Afternoon tea. I have been longing to try for a long time but never had the chance.
The session took place on the second level of Hotel Langham, next to Melba restaurant.
On the way to the tables, there is a big table fully decorated with Burch & Purchese's masterpieces. It would be really great if they are real cakes :p
They have many choices of tea from the usual ones to its signature tea selections that are really unique, but these cost extra 2 or 3 dollars more. I just love their tea sets, they are really antiques. We ordered different types of tea and this pink colour tea caught my attention although the taste's below my expectation.
Not long after the teas arrived, the staff came up with the three tiers and YES another plate.
Well, there're just too much food to fit in one stand i guess.
The first tier consisted of five different sandwiches, one of each per person. Don't get it wrong, this was a set for two so it looked like we had more. What I like best was the free range chicken, the chicken was really tender, its not strong in flavour but it did taste great.
|Egg and Mayonaise, Free Range Chicken, Cucumber and Cress
Cream Cheese and Chive, Smoked Salmon Pin Wheel
The second tier were the scones served with fruit jam, butter and clotted cream. The scones were perfectly baked for me, the outside was crisp and not dry in the inside. I enjoyed both the plain and the raisin ones although I'm not a big fan of raisin.

Burch & Purchese here we come!
This stunning looking dessert tube was just praiseworthy. The creamy coconut mousse was balanced out with the freshness of the passionfruit curd.
|Coconut, Ginger, Passionfruit, Mint
The chocolate moussed was not only look elegant because of the chocolate mirror glaze but also tasted great. I had to carefully cut the piece as it's really smooth.
|Chocolate, Mandarin, Salted Caramel
However, the blackforest eclair was a let down for us. The cream filling did not bring out the flavour so it tasted a bit plain me.

I would say all these three desserts were amazing. The meringue cloud was truly crisp, the sweetness was balanced out by the sourness from the dried passionfruit. The rubble was made with homemade popcorn & honeycomb, together bounded in Spanish milk chocolate. It was indeed addictive as written in the menu. The last piece was the gold bullion bar that was made with Spanish dark chocolate and filled with salted caramel. I would really take away some if they did sell this bar by itself that day :p

I thought this was just gonna be like "snacking" but i was wrong since all of these food were totally fulfilling. However, i couldn't resist myself to order a hot chocolate when the staff was asking for last orders. And yes, I didn't regret it. I didn't expect it to be nice, but this hot chocolate was rich and had the right amount of milk. Totally YUM!!!

Our former CTO (now "consultant") at some point warned his replacement about not virtualizing database servers, specifically our PgSQL database servers, but rather run them as actual, physical servers. The problem with this is that we are rapidly running out of physical space in our racks and capacity on our main database server.
He offered little more than vague musings on I/O speed; and although I don't have any specific reason to mistrust his judgement on this matter, it would be good to know:
Is there a real reason for this recommendation (and if so, what?), or is it mere superstition on his part?
