The importance of sterilisation is key. There is more spoilage as a result of poor attention to hygiene than anything else. Then we wonder what is the point of all of the effort, let alone the disappointment arising from throwing away 40 pints or 30 bottles of wine.
Fermenting beverages attract a number of moulds, bacteria & fungi. If allowed, bacteria will settle in crevices & confined areas of equipment, especially if left damp in dark areas & go on to affect production adversely producing unpleasant odours & tastes. This can be easily controlled by either scalding everything that comes into contact with the ferment with boiling water or by the use of sulphites or chlorine based sterilants & then subsequently rinsing.
During fermentation it is important to keep air at bay to prevent oxidisation, through the use of airlocks or large surfaced containers allowing the CO2 to blanket the brew. Adequate levels of alcohol & CO2 act as a bacteride, so low alcohol brews need to be carefully protected.
During maturation vessels need to be airtight unless air is sought for the contribution of a particular taste such as in port & sherry. So unless you are well practised in the art of brewing & fermenting play it safe & sterilise all equipment & ingredients where recommended, always keep musts & worts covered, sulphite wines after racking & at the minimum your efforts will be clean & palatable.

Update: NRC Releases Guidance on Requesting Exemptions from Fire Protection Requirements
By Thomas C. Poindexter , Lewis M. Csedrik , Ryan K. Lighty , and Ariel E. Braunstein
The NRC Staff released specific guidance to operating and decommissioning reactor licensees on requesting exemptions from fire protection requirements during the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE) on May 14. The guidance supplements the NRC's April 29 teleconference, during which it contemplated such regulatory relief pathways. Morgan Lewis reported on the teleconference earlier this month.
The specific regulations at issue are in 10 CFR 50.48; Section III.H of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 (requiring annual physicals for members of the fire brigade); Section III.I.3.b of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 (requiring fire brigade members to participate in quarterly drills); and Section III.I.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 (requiring fire brigade members to participate in annual live fire training).
Licensees should submit timely exemption requests based on the specifications in 10 CFR 50.4, "Written communications." Additionally, licensees should send an email with the request to the facility's NRC project manager. The Staff said it will consider requests on a case-by-case basis, and will provide a written determination to licensees. Exemptions will be in effect for a certain period of time. Licensees must either come into compliance with fire protection standards within that timeframe, or apply for an extension from the NRC before the term expires.
Requests for Relief, in General
When submitting a request for an exemption from either the annual physical requirement, the quarterly drill requirement, or the annual live fire training requirement, licensees should submit the following information:
References to supporting documents that will enable the Staff's timely review (such as ADAMS accession numbers for fire protection licensing basis documents);
A statement that the licensee cannot meet the relevant requirement without taking actions that could be contrary to the CDC's guidance for responding to the COVID-19 PHE;
A statement that the licensee would, for the duration of any exemption approved by the NRC, apply a licensee-specific process to manage affected personnel while ensuring the safety of its workers; and
The date when the exemption would be implemented, if approved, and when the licensee-specific process would take effect.
Requests for Relief from Annual Physicals
When submitting a request for an exemption from the annual physical requirement, licensees should submit the following information in addition to the general information outlined above:
Whether the exemption would only be limited to personnel having known, stable medical histories as determined and documented by a qualified healthcare professional;
A statement that each affected fire brigade member has or will complete an annual medical history questionnaire, prior to the expiration of the current annual physical examination, based on standards such as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z-86.6-2006, "Physical Qualifications for Respirator Use," and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire from 29 CFR 1910.134, Appendix C;
A statement that a qualified healthcare professional will review the medical history questionnaire prior to the expiration of the current annual physical examination and will determine and document that an extension of the fire brigade member's annual physical examination due date is acceptable such that he/she remains qualified during the extension; and
A statement that compliance will be restored by the earlier of December 31, 2020, or 90 days after the end of the PHE.
Requests for Relief from Quarterly Drills
When submitting a request for an exemption from the quarterly drills requirement, licensees should submit the following information in addition to the general information outlined above:
A description of any changes made to the fire brigade drill program to provide means other than typical face-to-face, close-quarter drills for training and evaluations of brigade members during the exemption period;
A statement that the exemption, if granted, will be limited to personnel having prior experience with the activity to which they will be assigned; and
Requests for Relief from Annual Live Fire Training
When submitting a request for an exemption from the annual live fire training requirement, licensees should submit the following information in addition to the general information outlined above:
A statement that the facility used to conduct live fire fighting training is closed due to the PHE;
A statement that the facility has been contacted and the licensee has made a request to schedule its live fire fighting training as soon as possible after the end of the PHE;
A statement that includes the dates the live fire fighting training sessions were previously scheduled for or when the annual requirement will not be met;
A description of any changes made to the fire brigade drill training program so that it will provide for training and evaluations of a brigade member's knowledge, skills, and abilities without the conduct of live fire fighting training during the exemption period; and
A statement that compliance will be restored by the earlier of December 31, 2021, or 365 days after the end of the PHE.

There's a new aesthetically pleasing beverage in town, and its name doesn't start with "unicorn." For those who stand in opposition to that cutesy trend, fear no more. The Matte Black Latte matches even the darkest of souls.
Round K, a coffeehouse in New York City's Lower East Side, boasts a menu full of experimental drinks — an egg cappuccino and a wasabi latte, for example. Now owner Ockhyeon Byeon has added the Matte Black Latte in tribute to customers who order black coffee even though it's not actually black, reports the Huffington Post. The semi-sweet non-dairy drink consists of almond milk, espresso, 98 percent Dutch process cacao, and a topping of coconut cream and marzipan, according to Gothamist. It also incorporates coconut ash — an activated charcoal — which, Byeon adds, has been proven to whiten teeth.
Activated charcoal has become an increasingly fashionable element in the health sphere, although some critics have questioned its usefulness. Here are the best and worst ways to use it.


Most common problems with Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro 16 on Windows 7 can be solved by simply updating the USB 3.0 host controller drivers manually.
If you are unsure which driver you need or would like to verify that you are downloading the correct driver, feel free to collect the information about your host controller and contact Saleae support.
First, identify which USB 3.0 host controller(s) is installed on your system. Most machines will have a single USB 3.0 host controller and two USB 2.0 host controllers. To find the installed host controller(s), please follow the instructions below.
Below are the latest driver versions and download links for each host controller.
These driver links should only be used if you are using Windows 7. Not all drivers are available directly from the host controller vendor and are instead distributed by the PCI express card or motherboard vendor that integrated that host controller. In most cases, it is just fine to use a driver download from a different website than the one that sold you the card, as long as it uses the same host controller. It is also okay to download the driver directly from the company where you purchased the card. In that case, please verify that the driver version is the same or newer than the one mentioned below. We recommend that you use drivers available directly from the host controller manufacturer.
Host: VIA Source: Direct (Via) Version: 4.90 A (6.1.7600.4903) Link: http://www.via-labs.com/driver.php Note: WHQL Driver for VL800/801 & 805/806 USB 3.0 Host Controller. Compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 32-bit and 64-bit.
Windows 8 and later Microsoft operating systems use a new Microsoft-created USB 3.0 driver that supports all USB 3.0 host controllers. This driver works extremely well, and it is the recommended driver for all USB 3.0 host controllers with the single exception of ASMedia.
For other host controllers, there is no need to perform any kind of driver update when you are on one of these releases of Windows.
USB 3.0 host controller drivers are part of the OS X operating system and are not updated separately. Updates to different parts of the USB stack are frequently included in Apple updates, so it is highly recommended that you keep your OS up to date and running the latest OS X release.
Run that application and reboot your computer to install the Intel USB 3.0 host controller drivers.
On Linux, all USB 3.0 host controllers use the xhci_hcd kernel module, which cannot be updated separately from the Linux kernel. In general, we recommend using kernel 3.4 or later (Ubuntu 14.04.1 or newer). Although the products do work on older kernels, we do not officially support those use cases.
Note: lsusb must be run when the Saleae Logic device is connected.


Historically, our warranty programs have been offered and sold in the used truck department, as there is an immediate need for a buyer of a used truck, especially those units where the OEM Drive Train Component Warranties have expired. The used truck buyer realizes the huge potential out-of-pocket expenses and income losses that can suddenly occur when a catastrophic failure strikes his business. His business is powered by the major power and driveline components of his truck. When he can't haul his load because of the time and expense of a failure, he stands to lose everything. So he is offered a Premium 2000+™ Warranty at the time of sale, and he is covered in case the unexpected happens. And it does!
However, a tremendous Customer Service opportunity exists. Ten (10) times as many truck owners enter your Service Department as compared to your Used Truck Department. Of these many trucks a large percentage have no warranty protection; their factory warranty has expired by either time or miles (or both). Some are having costly repairs to the very components that are part of our Premium 2000+™ Warranty Programs coverages. Many of these truck owners believe that when factory coverage expires no other options exist. Premium 2000+™ provides solutions.
The only restrictions are the age (current model year plus 9) and mileage (less than 900,000 miles) of the truck. If the truck meets these qualifications an income opportunity for the dealership presents itself — not to mention the potential repair savings for the truck owner. You can offer that customer an extended warranty just like the one offered in the New and Used Truck Sales Departments. An inspection to covered components wil be necessary since the truck is not "Retail Ready" (as if you were prepping for sale on your lot) and the inspection report will require approval by the Premium 2000+™ Management Team. Most inspection submittals are passed — those that are rejected may only require cursory repairs for passing — and you have profitted from the inspection (which is paid by the customer) and the markup you determine for the warranty sale. Remember that this opportunity exists for every model of commercial truck and power. Cat, Cummins, Detroit, Volvo, Mack, Maxxforce, etc… no exclusions or surcharges exist for component choice.
Customer Retention continues as an industry buzzword. We all know it is much less expensive to retain customers then it is to constantly advertise for new ones. Premium 2000+™ Warranty Programs are among the best retention "tools" in your "tool box". When service and repair work becomes necessary the truck owner who purchased our extended coverage from you thinks of you first for that work. Soon that truck owner buys all his trucks, parts, services, and repairs from you — it only makes sense.
We train service writers as to how to offer our programs, disclose all facets and complete the necessary forms… and its all simple and quick. We provide signage, point-of-sale posters, brochures and application forms — we help you create awareness. Our 24/7/365 Claims Staff of certified diesel mechanics is the most respected group of its kind in the industry. They guide claimants and repair facilities through each step of the claims process looking for a positive outcome to a component failure situation. Retention of our customers is as important to us as it is to you. Repair invoices are paid promptly upon completion by credit card, bank wire or corporate check, whatever is preferred. As an enrollee of Premium 2000+™ Service Plus claimants with needed repairs in your part of the country will be directed to your facility for diagnosis and covered repairs.
Offering a Premium 2000+™ Warranty Program to your service customers is easy — they are already in your facility. This opportunity could easily add $12 – $15,000 a month or more in Additional Profit to your department without adding additional staff or other investment. A Premium 2000+™ Area Manager can get you completely set up and trained in less than an hour.
Call 1-888-261-7581 or contact us via email.
A Premium 2000+™ representative will respond immediately and present our Service Plus Program at your convenience.


Polyurea is a two-component system that when mixed together creates one of the most durable coating applications available in the market place.
As a fast curing, thick film coating, polyurea is a logical solution when seamless, durable membranes are needed for waterproofing and protective purposes. Additional characteristics such as slip-resistant additives and surface textures can also be incorporated. It can be coloured and is even available in a potable water approved formulation. With such a wide range of performance characteristics, the range of suitable applications is also broad. Tank linings, secondary containment and bridge coatings, car park surfaces, water storage pits are some of the most popular uses, but the application possibilities are endless.
Perhaps its greatest advantage is that it sets up extremely quickly, allowing the applicator to build up a finished thickness in a single pass. This allows the owner to put their asset back in service faster than traditional coatings, saving days or even weeks of revenue lost due to down-time.
This coating has superior durability and performance compared to epoxy and urethane coatings, but with added flexibility for natural movement within the body of the material.
Polyurea has a fast cure time and is relatively insensitive to moisture, ambient temperatures and weather changes, which makes it ideal for coatings on large surface area projects.
The reactivity time for Polyurea is around 5 seconds, which allows it to be applied to virtually any thickness in one application. It is touch dry and trafficable in less than 5 minutes and fully cured within 1 hour.
Polyurea can be sprayed on site and in remote locations for the premium protection for your vital equipment and infrastructure.
Should you want to enquire about using this product on your project and are unsure of its suitability for your needs, please don't hesitate to contact AWS as we happy to discuss its potential with you.
Polyurea is exploding in popularity, primarily due to the wide variety of positive attributes it exhibits.
Polyurea will adhere to virtually any substrate (concrete, metal, wood, etc.) in a wide variety of conditions and environments. Its greatest advantage over traditional systems is the speed in which it can be installed, with coverage of up to 1000m2/day and a cure time of 1 hour we can save you days or even weeks of downtime.
Additionally, Polyurea can be formulated in any colour that you require and can be rigid or flexible depending on your application needs.

Hang on, somethin' looks a little different around here… our GO! bags are getting an upgrade! Over the next year, GO! SOLUTIONS packaging will get a fresh new look, starting with the transition of DAILY DEFENCE to SKIN + COAT CARE. But don't worry, you'll find the same nutritious and delicious flavours your pet knows and loves inside the bags. Want to switch it up? We've got that covered too, with NEW grain-free recipes added to the SKIN + COAT CARE collection.
Are you discontinuing the GO! DAILY DEFENCE Chicken recipes for dogs and cats, Lamb Meal recipe for dogs, and GO! SENSITIVITY + SHINE Salmon recipe for dogs?
Nope! We are happy to continue to provide these nutrient-packed recipes under the new and improved GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE name.
Why are you changing the product line name from GO! DAILY DEFENCE to GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE?
One of the best ways to visibly tell if a pet is in good overall health is healthy skin and a shiny coat. Since day one, our DAILY DEFENCE recipes were created to provide the nutrition dogs and cats need to stay strong and healthy, including the maintenance of skin and coat wellness. We are repositioning these recipes under the GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE banner to better explain the specific solution they can offer our valued customers and their furry family members.
Why is the GO! SENSITIVITY + SHINE Salmon recipe also changing names to the GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE Salmon recipe?
Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids which help support healthy skin and a shiny coat, making it a natural fit as a key member of the SKIN + COAT CARE pack.
Are you making any changes to the bag sizes? What will this mean for your buyer program?
Yes, we are reducing the size of our small bags to offer our existing and potential customers an attractive and competitive price point to try our recipes. Small SKIN + COAT CARE bags will transition from 6lb to 3.5lb for dogs, and from 4lb to 3lb for cats. We will happily honour the frequent buyer card transition for customers currently on a small bag program; please speak to your local pet specialty retailer or call our Nutrition Hotline at 1-866-864-6112 to understand your options.
Why are you launching new GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE Grain-Free recipes?
We're committed to delivering solutions-based nutrition for every pet, and every customer. By including both premium-quality whole-grain and grain-free options in our GO! SOLUTIONS collection, we're giving our customers the ability to choose the right recipe for their pet's unique dietary needs.
Are you making any ingredient changes to the existing recipes?
Yes, but only very minor ones. These updates will not change the nutrient composition, flavour, or palatability of the recipes and pets will be able to transition immediately with ease.
Is the new GO! SOLUTIONS SKIN + COAT CARE Grain-Free Salmon recipe suitable for indoor cats?
well-formed stools, and to help prevent hairball formation by trapping ingested hair in the stool.
Why aren't you repositioning all the GO! recipes at the same time?
With sustainability as a priority, we are repositioning the GO! SOLUTIONS collection in phases to work through existing product, packaging, and ingredient inventory to minimize waste as much as possible.

After some disturbing news I was made aware of yesterday, my mind need a bit of escape. And what better escape method than getting immersed in an hour and 20 minutes of some mixing. This session is a bit more straightforward, steady, 4 to the floor veering on some more shall I say, darker moods, with a short burst of positive vibes, but veering back to the dark side.
