"Травис" е шотландска рок група, сформирана в Глазгоу през 1990 година, състояща се от Фран Хийли (вокали, ритъм китара), Дъги Пейн (бас китара, беквокали), Анди Дънлоп (водеща китара, банджо, беквокали) и Нийл Примроуз (барабани, перкусии). Стилът им се определя като софт рок или пост-брит рок. Името на групата идва от измисления герой на Хари Дийн Стентън, Травис Хендерсън от филма "Париж, Тексас". Групата е призната от медиите като вдъхновила други британски групи като Keane и Coldplay да постигнат в същия стил световен успех през 2000-те, особено благодарение на албума им "The Man Who" (1999) album.

Групата издава дебютния си албум "Good Feeling" (1997) с умерен успех, като дебютира под номер 9 в класацията UK Albums Chart и постига сребърен сертификат от BPI през януари 2000. Групата постига по-голям международен успех с втория си албум, "The Man Who" (1999), прекарал девет седмици под номер 1 в UK Albums Charts, наброявайки общо 134 седмици в топ 100 на класацията. През 2003 година "The Man Who" е сертифициран с деветократен платинен статут, отговарящ на над 2.68 милиона продадени копия само във Великобритания. След този успех, групата издава третия си албум "The Invisible Band" (2001). Албумът повтаря успеха на предходния, като дебютира на първо място в класацията UK Albums Chart и остава на това място 4 седмици, 15 седмици в Топ 10 и общо 55 седмици в Топ 100, и достига най-високо до 39-а позиция в американската класация US Billboard 200, прекарвайки 7 седмици в класацията. Година след издаването на "The Invisible Band", албумът получава сертификат за четирикратен платинен статут.

Дискографията на Travis включва още студийните албуми "12 Memories" (2003), "The Boy with No Name" (2007), "Ode to J. Smith" (2008), "Where You Stand" (2013), "Everything at Once" (2016), дебютирал под номер 5 в UK Albums Chart. През 2004 година групата издава първия албум с най-големите си хитове, "Singles", който прекарва 19 седмици в Топ 100 на класацията за албуми.

Travis получават два пъти отличие за най-добра група по време на наградите "BRIT Awards" и през 2000 година получава наградата "Артист на годината" на NME. През 2016 година групата е отличена на Шотландските музикални награди за изключителни приноси към музиката.

UEFA Europa League - Palop lauds perfect performance - News
Palop lauds perfect performance
Thursday 17 May 2007 by John Atkin
Sevilla FC No1 Andrés Palop admitted he will "take memories of the campaign with me into old age" after his match-winning performance in the UEFA Cup final.
After setting up the opening goal, making several impressive stops in regulation time and saving three penalties in the shoot-out, Andrés Palop believes Sevilla FC's successful 2006/07 UEFA Cup campaign will always command a special place in his heart.
'He made the difference'
Palop proved the scourge of RCD Espanyol in Glasgow. It was the 33-year-old that unlocked their defence after 18 minutes, hurling a brilliant early throw to Adriano Correia near the halfway line following a corner, from which the Brazilian scored the opener. Almost 90 minutes later he was in more familiar guise, saving penalties from Luis García, Jônatas and Marc Torrejón as Sevilla regained the UEFA Cup. Espanyol coach Ernesto Valverde was not understating the matter when he conceded that "[Sevilla's] goalkeeper, an outstanding player, made the difference."
'Individual recognition'
The custodian himself was a picture of modesty, playing down his man of the match award. "It is great to receive individual recognition but the team trophy is far more important," insisted the former Valencia CF goalkeeper. "I'm glad I contributed by making two or three good saves during the game and I felt in good form. Before the penalty shoot-out I was really nervous. Penalties are about intuition and luck and it was on our side tonight and I'm delighted to have won the trophy in front of so many fans." Those supporters cheered loudest when Palop held the cup aloft and there was an element of fate about the whole thing.
Fond memories
Sevilla were staring a UEFA Cup exit square in the face as they entered the fourth minute of added time against FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the last 16 trailing 4-3 on aggregate. It was Palop, up for a corner, who powered in a header to force extra time and from then on there was no looking back for the Andalusian side. "It was a perfect tournament for me," he beamed. "I scored a goal, I saved penalties and set up some chances - I'll take memories of the campaign with me to old age."

Spain hails two sets of heroes
Andrés Palop can expect to return to a hero's welcome as Sevilla FC head home with the UEFA Cup but the Spanish press had sympathy for RCD Espanyol.
Sevilla add to Spanish successes
Sevilla FC's spot-kick victory against RCD Espanyol in the UEFA Cup final gave Spanish clubs a fifth triumph in the competition and a third in the last four years.
Pandiani picks up scoring prize
The only RCD Espanyol player to score in the shoot-out defeat by Sevilla FC, Walter Pandiani has finished this season's UEFA Cup as its eleven-goal top scorer.

Thursday the Missouri Department of Agriculture changed the Special Local Needs labels for new dicamba products. Fexapan, Engenia and Xtendimax may now be applied up to June 10, 2018 in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau Dunklin, Pemiscot, Mississippi, New Madrid, Stoddard, Scott and Ripley counties.
The cutoff for those counties was previously June 1 and all other Missouri counties must stop applications after July 15, 2018. The decision came due to weather constraints that might be keeping farmers out of fields.
All other restrictions within Missouri's Special Local Needs label will remain the same. This includes: not applying dicamba before 7:30 a.m. or after 5:30 p.m., application permitted by certified applicators who have undergone required training only and the completion of an online dicamba notice of application before applying the product.

Q: firefox 38 hanging with corporate proxy and winbind? I seem to have broken firefox 38 and it is unusable.  It just hangs and freezes for long periods of time ranging from a few seconds up to infinity - usually in steps at the authentication prompt for the corporate proxy.  It may have something to do with single-sign-on that has recently been introduced for the proxy to make it easier for people using MS-Windows?
Starting firefox in safe mode from a terminal gives repeated messages:
  "could not obtain winbind domain name!"
I have tried changing my machine from fixed IP to DHCP - it made no difference.
I reset firefox and it runs fine for browsing local files on my hard drive if I don't set the proxy.
I am using Centos 6 with everything up to date.
The strange thing is, I have also tried running firefox from virtual machines inside this same machine - both an old centos 6.0 machine which has not been updated and a Centos 7 machine that was updated a few months ago.  Firefox works perfectly on both of these virtual machines running in virtualbox using NAT for the network.  I get the corporate proxy dialog and can authenticate with no problems.
I have looked through the mozilla help pages and forums.
I have used yum to remove and reinstall firefox.
Any suggestions would be welcome?

The world of enterprise technology is largely hidden behind all of the products and services businesses provide to consumers, but enterprise technology is critical to the success of businesses, and lately there have been some huge shakeups in that space.
The world of enterprise technology is largely hidden behind all of the products and services businesses provide to consumers, but enterprise technology is critical to the success of businesses, and lately there have been some huge shakeups in that space. While the big news for most businesses has been the development of big data technology like Hadoop, the growing prevalence of cloud computing or the decreasing costs of flash storage, the big news for enterprise technology vendors is that a huge portion of that innovation is coming from startups and open source projects vs. the tech giants of the past.
Hadoop itself is an open source project that startups have now integrated with the cloud to offer big data services. Startups have also developed hybrid and other flash solutions to help cut costs and improve performance. Young companies have also been developing software largely targeted at helping business handle the data created by launching web and mobile services.
All of these startups have been fairly successful, landing big clients who are willing to pay a lot of money for what they have to offer. It seems the big names-Oracle, IBM, Dell-have fallen behind. Why is this? Large corporations take a lot more time and resources in order to explore a new market. While a startup can quickly take an idea and run with it, large corporations tend to follow behind either developing their own product or acquiring startups in order to expand. In fact, that could be the end result of this surge in development. The big players will use their large budgets and influence to slowly buy out the startups and retain their place as the industry leaders.
However, many of these startups are pushing forward on their own giving signs that they want to thrive on their own, not be bought out. MobileIron, for example, had raised $150 million in investor funding September of last year and is preparing for an IPO. FireEye also completed its IPO last year, earning about $304 million.
So who is driving the future of enterprise technology? Startups have definitely taken the lead when it comes to innovation, but in the long-run, it's likely that many startups will be bought by the big-name giants, leaving only a few companies that go on to become common names in the enterprise space. Who exactly that will be is yet to be determined.


It happens that the process is different but the end result turns out to be the same. Just like the picture above. We don't care about the process. We want something and a we know is that we want that. It doesn't matter how it is achieved. We want success at any cost. The difficult way is difficult but steady and slow. The easy way is easy and fast but it may not be sure always. It is up to you to choose.
Some believe that the end justifies that means. But I don't want to think that way.

The government will grant a one-year residency visa extension without the need for a sponsor starting from the date of spouse's death or divorce. The residency visa should also be valid at the time of death or divorce, and the children's residency period does not exceed that of the mother.
The extension also covers the applicant's children living in the U.A.E. Those who don't have children can avail themselves of the extension.
Expatriates living in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and those accompanying citizens of Gulf countries do not qualify. Special entry permits and 96-hour special mission entry visas are not included.
Children sponsored by parents after completing their university or high school, or those turning 18 years of age, will be given a one-year residency visa that can be renewed for another year. Students should submit their attested academic certificates for high school or university and other supporting documents that show that they have studied in the U.A.E.


Da Mihi Animas: Pope Francis: What Happens in Heaven When a Sinner Enters a Confessional?
Pope Francis: What Happens in Heaven When a Sinner Enters a Confessional?
Confessionals are generally quiet, darkened places. But what does heaven look and sound like when a soul enters a confessional?
Pope Francis today invited the faithful to think about the rejoicing and celebrating in heaven when a sinner repents.
He made this invitation before praying the midday Angelus with those in St. Peter's Square today, as he reflected on the heart of God as revealed in the three parables from Luke 18 recounted in today's liturgy.
"A common element in these parables is expressed in the verbs that mean rejoice together, make a celebration," the Pope noted. "Mourning is not spoken of; there is rejoicing, there is celebrating. The shepherd calls his friends and neighbors and says, 'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep' (v 6). The woman calls her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost' (v. 9). And the father says to his other son: 'now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found' (v. 32).
The Pope concluded with a prayer to Our Lady, under the title of Refuge of Sinners, asking that though her intercession, the confidence of the prodigal son might well up in our hearts: "I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you," the prodigal son said.

Sullivan's squad focuses on game, not glory
By Channler K. Hill February 18, 2014
In head coach Patrick Sullivan's second season, UH has broken into the national rankings. | Jenna Frenzel/The Daily Cougar
Valentine's Day wasn't on the Cougars' minds as they faced Kansas on Friday and Mississippi State on Sunday. The team was concentrating on giving their best effort, which concluded with a weekend win and loss.
Kansas seized a 4-3 victory, but UH rebounded to defeat Mississippi State 5-2 to improve its season record to 5-1.
"Our main focus (was) to be focused on that and that alone — not any accolades that we've recently gotten or anything like that, but just focus on the task at hand," said head coach Patrick Sullivan. "It's nice to have a ranking, but it goes away in a heartbeat if you don't take care of business."
The accolades include the team being ranked No. 66 nationally along with two of its players. Junior Elena Kordolaimi is ranked 122nd and freshman Despoina Vogasari is ranked 125th in singles play.
"Obviously it's a start, and it's a good start, but that's nothing compared to what my goals are. I mean it's good. I feel really good about my tennis right now, but I think I can be even higher, and I'll just try for the best until the end of the season," Vogasari said. "I don't have a number, but my goal is just to be the best that I can be."
The team hasn't been in the national spotlight since 2002, when it was ranked No. 61. Nor has it seen two players with national rankings in the past 29 years. Sophomore Maria Andrea Cardenas said it's great to be part of this success.
"We have a great opportunity to (have) the best year we've had — well this school has had — in so long," Cardenas said. "I think we've been doing it so far, so let's just keep it up, and I think you'll be seeing us a lot more in the headlines."
In Sullivan's second year as head coach, he has recruited ranked classes and supported his players on and off the John E. Hoff Tennis Courts; some players aspire to go pro and others to excel on the collegiate stage before beginning corporate careers. Sullivan said all the credit for an early successful season goes to his players.
"My job is really easy. I've got high-character talented girls out there. … As long as I keep them happy, healthy and fit, they're going to go out there and win matches," Sullivan said. "I expected this, and I expect more in the future. Really, our No. 1 priority is to take care of our bodies and take care of business in the classroom and be able to come out here and compete."

I am seeing that in your video you are using FreeNAS iSCSI as strorage for your Xcp-ng servers.
On the FreeNAS, how do you handle the asynchronous writes generated by the hypervisor?
Do you have a dedicated ssd disk for SLOG or simply set sync=always in FreeNAS?
It matters more with NFS, but you can turn that off in FreeNAS on per dataset. Also I moved over to NFS shares with my new server.
Also I moved over to NFS shares with my new server.
Just for testing on our new server. The speed difference is quite marginal.
So which would you recommend in production?
iSCSI can be a bit more processor intensive, but both are fine, which ever one you prefer.
when using either method is the preferred practice to make the shares available to the hypervisor then create virtual disks for your VMs? Or would you link the pool directly to your VM?

ESPN.com discusses Teddy Bridgewater
Posted on June 28, 2013 by Jeremy Wahman
The following post was made by Rob Nelson of ESPN.com. He takes a look at Teddy's 2012 season, looks ahead to 2013, and explains how he has become such a big NFL Draft prospect.
Rising stock of Teddy Bridgewater
By Rob Nelson | ESPN.com
The 2013 college football season has the potential to be one of the greatest quarterback classes ever. Eight of the top 10 teams in last year's final AP Poll return their starting quarterbacks, and every conference except the Big 12 returns either their first- or second-team quarterbacks from last season.
In preparation for the 2013 season, ESPN Stats & Info will take a deeper look at the top QBs entering the fall. Friday, we look at Teddy Bridgewater.
Bridgewater led the Louisville Cardinals to an 11-2 record last season, and earned MVP honors in a 33-23 victory over the third-ranked Florida Gators in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. According to Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, Bridgewater is the top quarterback prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft.
How did Bridgewater go from an unknown freshman in 2011 to the No. 1 quarterback prospect?
Downfield passing: Bridgewater completed a pass of 15 or more yards on 20 percent of his attempts in 2012, up from 16 percent in 2011. Bridgewater averaged 8.9 yards per attempt last season, seventh-best in FBS among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts.
Ball protection: As a sophomore in 2012, Bridgewater threw an interception once every 52.4 pass attempts. During his freshman season he threw a pick once every 24.7 pass attempts, the ninth-worst rate in FBS out of 115 qualifying quarterbacks.
Teddy Bridgewater Passing
Last 2 Seasons
Yds per att 7.2 8.9
Int pct 4.1% 1.9%
3rd down conv pct 35% 51% <<
>> 2nd in FBS
Third-down passing: Bridgewater excelled on third downs last season. When he threw a pass, it resulted in a first down 50.9 percent of the time, second-best in FBS behind Johnny Manziel (51.9 percent). Only three players in FBS last season had more completions of 15 yards or more on third down than Bridgewater, who completed 27 such passes.
What's Ahead for 2013?
The biggest obstacle for Bridgewater and the Cardinals in 2013 might be pass protection, or the lack thereof. In two seasons at Louisville, Bridgewater has been sacked 61 times, ninth-most in FBS. In the Cardinals final three games last season, Bridgewater was sacked 12 times, including five in the Sugar Bowl.
Teddy Bridgewater Last Season
Designed Passing Plays
No Blitz
Sack pct 9.2% 4.7%
Bridgewater struggled most when opponents sent extra pressure. He was sacked on 9.2 percent of designed pass plays when blitzed and threw an interception once every 24 pass attempts. On designed passing plays when opponents sent four or fewer rushers, Bridgewater was sacked 4.7 percent of the time and threw a pick once every 169 pass attempts.
If Bridgewater can continue to improve in his junior season and handle pressure more effectively, the possibilities are endless – first quarterback selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, an undefeated season (Louisville has the 90th-toughest schedule in FBS this season based on 2012 records) and maybe even Louisville's first Heisman Trophy winner.

The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis and the Institute for Competitiveness and Sustainable Economics for Puerto Rico called for the Puerto Rico Energy Commission and the federal Fiscal Oversight and Management Board of Puerto Rico to take control of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
"The ongoing governance crisis at PREPA, and now the denial by a judge of the appointment of a PREPA chief transformation officer, meant that the energy commission and the fiscal board must immediately combine efforts to restore electricity to the island," the institutes said in a joint statement noting that more than half of the residents of the storm-stricken island remain without electricity almost two months after Hurricane María.
The statement from the two institutes follows Tuesday's refusal by a federal judge to grant a motion by the Oversight Board to appoint an outside "chief transformation officer" to oversee PREPA.
The Board, created by Congress under the statute known as PROMESA (the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act), had proposed appointing U.S. Air Force Colonel Noel Zamot, who has worked with the board on other matters, to run PREPA. Judge Laura Taylor Swain blocked the appointment, saying the board did not have the authority to put Zamot in charge.
"The well-known scandal around PREPA's contract with Whitefish Energy is only the most recent example of the agency's poor contracting policies and procedures," said Institute Director of Finance Tom Sanzillo, who credits the Puerto Rico Energy Commission for exposing many of PREPA's common problems.
Sanzillo and Torres noted that in September, PREPA submitted a motion to the U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico to reduce the commission's powers. PREPA argued that the commission had usurped its authority as well as that of the Oversight Board.
On Nov. 3, the commission submitted a motion to the court proposing a resolution of any potential jurisdictional overlap between the commission and the Oversight Board.
"More than ever, lack of coordination between the two institutions will delay the restoration of power and the re-design of the Puerto Rico electrical system," Torres said.
Meanwhile, Sanzillo noted the "No. 1 priority" for the Oversight Board and the Puerto Rico Energy Commission is the restoration of electricity on the island.

Butts, Jeffrey A. (2014). Strengthening Youth Justice Practices with Developmental Knowledge and Principles. Consultant Briefing Paper, Prepared for the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Baltimore, MD.
Positive youth development (PYD) is a field of practice that applies lessons from the science of adolescent development to the routine practices of youth-serving organizations. The PYD approach encourages communities and agencies to build upon the positive assets of youth rather than simply reduce youth problems and treat youth deficits. It judges success by every youth's attainment of positive outcomes rather than their avoidance of negative outcomes. A PYD approach helps youth transition from adolescence to adulthood through the acquisition of pro-social skills and supportive relationships. Youth justice is a challenging environment in which to implement a rigorous PYD approach. The insights and lessons of developmental science do not translate easily into the day-to-day tasks of youth justice systems, which often focus on control and compliance. Youth justice practitioners require assistance as they apply developmental principles. The Positive Youth Justice (PYJ) Model was developed to meet this challenge. It provides a simple framework for designing PYD-compatible interventions for justice-involved young people and for supporting youth justice reforms.


This is a fun, challenging and fulfilling class if you like to get into the deeper stretches early on. David takes you through a quick Sun Salutation then moves right into a series of binds and deep stretches for the shoulders, legs and hips. You'll enjoy this one!
I really enjoyed this, short and as usual, great instructions and some nice stretches.
I do miss starting off from a centred place though even if for a few seconds. A lot of the videos on the site head straight into the practice.
Wow...short and sweet. Great class for morning before my cardio run/walk. Nice relaxed pace. Thank you.
Great bind variations - also diagnostic: showed me clearly which side is more open, and encouraged me to keep practicing for more balance. Excellent guidance and modelling by David. Once again.
There has been something going on in my shoulders and lower neck. This class really loosened it up, relaxed my mind, and gave me some peace. Thank you!
Great for a good morning start!
This is my favorite class on the site, mainly because I am always so sore and tight through my shoulders that it's a perfect break during the work day to ease tension and open up the body. Thanks so much David!
This was so perfect, even when completely modified. Thank you, David.


Despite its beauty the Queensland coast is renowned as a dangerous place for shipping, with hundreds of vessels coming to grief on coral reefs and rocky shores over the last 200 years. The resulting shipwrecks can be near-complete vessels sitting on or below the seabed, or a few rusting metal objects on the reef, pounded apart by waves, weather and rust. Wrecks can represent different things to different people. Some capture the romance and peril of the sea or the excitement of the explorers, such as HMS Pandora, sunk in 1791 on the outer Great Barrier Reef as it returned from Tahiti with the Bounty mutineers. Other wrecks link to darker parts of our history, such as the labour trader Foam, wrecked on Myrmidon Reef in 1893 as it was returning indentured Solomon Island cane field labourers back to their homes.
Many other themes in Queensland's history are reflected in the shipwrecks, and the thrill of a wreck dive in the clear warm tropical waters has become one of the main attractions for locals and visitors alike. Some still associate wreck diving with treasure hunting and relics, although all wrecks and their contents are protected by the Federal Historic Shipwrecks Act of 1976.
One of the incontrovertible truths of shipwrecks is that they were frequently the cause of loss of life. Sometimes these losses were individual family tragedies, with a loved friend or family member lost forever, often never to be recovered from their watery grave. Other times the deaths were catastrophic, touching whole communities and sometimes the whole nation.
In 1911 the SS Yongala was en-route from Melbourne to Cairns when it steamed into a cyclone, sinking with all of the 48 passengers and 72 crew lost. At the time the loss was devastating for Queensland communities, especially in the north, with many people having family or friends aboard, or knowing people who did. The location of the wreck remained a mystery until 1958 when it was discovered in 30 metres of water approximately 90 km south east of Townsville and 22 km east of Cape Bowling Green. The wreck rests on its keel and is remarkably intact, with human bones originally visible on and around the wreck. The hull has also become an artificial reef with a rich and diverse marine life and almost 10,000 people dive on the site each year for a memorable dive experience. However, for many residents of north Queensland the site is also the grave of their grandparents and great-grandparents, and a memorial to be respected in its own right.
Another dramatic example of a wreck as a grave is the Australian Hospital Ship (AHS) Centaur which was attacked and sunk by a torpedo from a Japanese submarine off North Stradbroke Island on 14 May 1943. Of the 332 medical personnel and civilian crew aboard, 268 were killed while the 64 survivors waited in the water for 36 hours clinging to wreckage and floating debris before they were rescued. This attack on an unarmed medical ship was considered a war crime and outraged the Australian public. The death of the nurses became a powerful propaganda tool for the Allied war effort, with posters for war loans featuring the sinking ship aflame, with the banner 'Work, Save and Fight and so Avenge the Nurses'. An image of the Centaur figures in the Australian War Memorial's Hall of Memory mosaic commemorating women's services, and annual services are still held at memorials in Caloundra and Coolangatta. Many descendants, including the children of those lost, were still alive when the Centaur was at last found in December 2009. The site is a war grave and protected under the Historic Shipwrecks Act of 1976.
A very different type of maritime disaster was in 1899, when on 4 March cyclone Mahena struck the Torres Strait pearling fleet while it lay at anchor in Princess Charlotte Bay. The Category 5 cyclone included winds of as much as 325 km/hour and a storm surge of 14.6 metres which washed up to 5 km inland. By the next morning at least five schooners and 54 luggers had been destroyed, with 307 dead from the multicultural crews of Europeans, Aboriginals, Torres Strait and South Sea Islanders, and Filipinos. A stone memorial was erected on Cape Melville.
It has often been the case that ships have sunk or wrecked in remote places and sometimes into deep waters, while the remains of those who have died are still within the wreck or have washed away never to be recovered. Shipwreck memorials and cenotaphs often take the place of a real grave, while several churches such as All Souls on Thursday Island have commemorations. One of the most interesting shipwreck memorials is to those who died on HMS Pandora when it sank in 1791. Human remains recovered during the archaeological excavation of the site were sealed in a concrete plinth and then returned to the site.
These are some of Australia's most tragic wrecks which occurred on Queensland's coast. They show the way that wrecks mean different things to different people, sometimes changing over time.


Biofuel is being looked into to as a possible alternate source of regular petroleum. In the production of this product, however, there are concerns about safety issues. 'Biodiesel process safety management' is the formal term for implementing safety procedures.
The world's largest biodiesel plant opened in Singapore in late 2010. Operated by Finnish company Neste Oil, the plant has the capacity to produce 800,000 metric tons of biofuel per year. Its raw sources are vegetable oil and left-over fat from animals. Neste says that this method will decrease the amount of carbon released by the biofuel from 40 to 80 percent. There are concerns, however, about the discharge of emissions from the plant itself. As with any plant production facility, pollution can still be produced.
Methanol, acids and other caustic chemicals are the main components of biofuel production. Methanol, being highly flammable, can cause serious damage if left unmanaged. It is heavier than air and can creep into lower regions, so proper methods of venting this gas are necessary. Another characteristic of methanol is that it burns without color. It's virtually invisible and can only be seen if you look closely and find a heat wave distortion similar to that of a distant mirage you see on a hot summer day.
Biofuel plants have been known to discharge an oily product into rivers and waterways in local communities. Alhough this residue is not harmful to humans, it can harm birds and fish. The glycerin and oil in the mix can deplete oxygen from the body of water and kill the fish and is toxic to birds when it is ingested.
Since alternative energy is being considered more frequently these days, and since economies of scale will always be involved, it is essential for biofuel plants to create process safety management programs, including a procedure for hazardous operations review.
Since methanol is one of the more volatile components, there are regulatory requirements involved. Code 29 under CFR 1910 states that if a 10,000 pounds of methanol are present at the facility, a process safety management (PSM) program must be implemented.
Typically, the smaller bio fuel plants do not have to do this, but it is advisable that even the smaller plants should follow this regulatory mandate.
Learn more about process safety management procedures for individual chemicals as well as operator safety training.
Not every PSM program will be alike; a custom overview should be made after a thorough assessment of the plant itself. Each phase of the plant process should be looked into. For example, diagrams of the piping, all manual, automatic, and overlimit safety valves, and monitoring instruments should be documented and made accessible to plant operators and emergency response workers.
Also, a standard set of orders or set of instructions for the plant should be made available to those workers unfamiliar with the inner workings of the plant. Such orders would include the procedure for a safe, normal, and reliable operation of the plant which would include start up and plant shut down, as well as overall plant maintenance.
There should also be formal safety training that should occur before plant operation takes place. Some of this would involve OSHA-fulfilled requirements for permits, hot work, confined space entry permits, personal protective equipment (PPE), and the like.
Of course, there would always be an individual who would be the designated program provider with thorough knowledge of the PSM. This person would give each process step his/her own analysis. Starting with making sure the each piece of plant equipment is safe to use, this would include its own electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation classification. Other reviews would include startup, shut-down and idle periods of the plant. The idle time should cover when either process fluids are present or not. Later, the mechanics and electrical procedures would also be reviewed when the plant is down or up and running.
Each volatile chemical would be given its own unique review of its own process when it comes to handling procedures as well as precautionary measures, particularly methanol. Methanol and catalysts are a major concern, and can consist from 75 to 80 percent methanol. Sprinklers and well-ventilated areas to redirect hazardous methanol fumes are required by local fire departments and insurance companies.
Since there's a possibility of a spark that could cause a catastrophic event, the plant should adhere to the National Electric Code to keep spark producing parts out of the area of influence. Spark-free equipment should also be used to prevent ignition of flammable substances.
Methanol leaks are also to be addressed, such as failed seals in pumps, hoses cracking, or breaking, and other components that contain the methanol. Spill containment should be kept in check as well.
Another issue that needs addressing is proper training for plant operators. Apparently, training is not really considered a budgetary priority to smaller plants, and lack of education in the operation of equipment is often an issue. This typically occurs in small plant operations that are first starting off. The chemical types used, emergency preparedness/response, what PPE to use, and knowledge of plant processes are essential at these smaller operations as well.
Getting a firm grasp on effective safety in a blossoming alternative energy industry would keep workers lives intact, save money, and reinforce the reputation in a rather desired industry.

Q: Does there exist a copy of Euclid's Elements with modern notation and no figures? I am working through Euclid's Elements for fun, but I find the propositions difficult to understand without referencing the provided figures. Unfortunately, the figures usually give away the proofs, so sometimes I feel robbed of the opportunity to work on a fun problem. Does anyone know of an edition of Euclid's Elements that uses modern mathematical language AND does not have figures? I've been searching for a few hours and haven't found anything. If no one can think of anything and someone is interested in a "Euclid through Inquiry" style document, then I might spend a weekend $\TeX$ing something up.
This is my first stack-exchange post, so I am sorry if this question is inappropriate.

A: When I started delving in to The Elements I had the same issue. Euclid's propositions are somewhat unusual especially due to the translations. I actually did a whole blog post on this that was geared towards new students trying to learn and understand geometry. I go over the propositions in it if you are interested: http://mathhelpblog.com/geometry-for-dummies-how-to-do-geometry-and-understand-it/. Perhaps this could serve as an example on how to show it it more modern terms.
It's a challenging read, but I figure since it was the go-to math text for over 2000 years, that it still has its relevance. Euclid is a personal hero of mine. I know its been a while since you wrote this post, but I am interested in what you came up with.

A: In general, mathematicians say that the best way to study Euclidean geometry is drawing the figures yourself following the instructions of proofs. I believe it's a valid point of view even if it is only a study for fun. And most mathematicians think that way about almost every area of mathematics. So I hardly think you will find a translation of Euclid's elements that draw all construction in each proof.
Suggestion. See the book Euclid's elements of geometry by Richard Fitzparick. This book has few pictures. But I think it won't bother you.  Although the translation is accompanied by small clarifications. I think you have a modern language you seek.

A: After 7 years, I finally completed the supplement I was looking for back then. My problem isn't the figures per se, but the fact that the figures usually give away the solution. I created a supplement that hopefully provides enough information for a student to understand each proposition well enough to take a stab at it themselves.

Could you tell me some of the verses and ahaadeeth that speak of the virtue of patience?.
Allaah has made patience like a horse that never gets tired, an army that can never be defeated and a strong fortress that can never be breached. Patience and victory are twin brothers, for victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress and ease comes with hardship. Patience is of more help to the one who has it than men, as it helps without any need for equipment or numbers and its relationship to victory is like that of the head to the body.
In the Qur'aan, Allaah has guaranteed those who are patient that He will give them reward without measure.
But this is something that "none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient — and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter, i.e., Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world" [Fussilat 41:35].
Allaah will divide His creation into two categories: those who are on the right hand and those who are on the left hand (cf. al-Waaqi'ah 56:8ff); those who are on the right hand are those who recommend one another to patience and mercy.
"And endure you patiently (O Muhammad), your patience is not but from Allaah. And grieve not over them (polytheists and pagans), and be not distressed because of what they plot.
Patience is the foundation of the believer's faith which has no other foundation. The one who has no patience has no faith, and if he has any, then it is only a little faith and it is very weak, and such a person worships Allaah as it were upon the edge (i.e. in doubt): if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter (cf. al-Hajj 22:11). All he gets from them is a losing deal.
The best life is attained by the blessed through patience, and they rise to the highest degrees through their gratitude. So they fly on the wings of patience and gratitude to gardens of delight (i.e., Paradise). That is the bounty of Allaah that He bestows upon whomsoever He will, and Allaah is the Owner of Great Bounty. End quote from 'Uddat al-Saabireen by Ibn al-Qayyim, p. 3-5.
For more ahaadeeth about the virtue of patience and exhortation to be patient, please see al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb by al-Mundhiri (4/274-302).
'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Azeez (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Allaah has not bestowed any blessing upon His slaves then taken it away and replaced it with patience, but what He has compensated them with is better than what He has taken away.

Conjunctions:65 Sleights of Hand: The Deception Issue
Seven Pieces on Deception, the Whore, and Anderson, IN
Arielle Greenberg
What I Told Myself
At the beginning, I told myself that I could have sex with the X even though he was cheating on Anderson, IN, because he had already been cheating on Anderson, IN, for six years: first, briefly, with a woman in his office, then, for the next five years and through the time that he and I first got in touch with one another, with a woman he met online, the same way he first met me in 1996, and the same way he'd met Anderson, IN, in 1997, and the same way he met me again in 2011. He'd been seeing that woman once a year or so, on business trips he took to Georgia especially to meet her. So I was not a homewrecker, I told myself, because in that sense, his home had long been wrecked.
And I was not a cheater, I told myself, because the Husband knew all about the X from the start, knew what I was doing with him, spoke to him on the phone, met him at a diner in New Hampshire with the children for his birthday. On that day, the X brought the children coloring books. He ate some of their leftover pancakes.
Anderson, IN, and the X have no children together. It would be different, I told myself, if they had had children together. There were no children whose lives would be ruined if, because of me, their marriage came undone. And, anyway, the X's life was not being ruined: He was choosing this for himself. The only life to ruin, I told myself, was that of Anderson, IN, a grown woman who would actually be better off if she learned to take care of herself.
But within a few months, about the same time as that birthday lunch at the diner, I told the X that if he wanted to keep seeing me, he had to tell Anderson, IN, about us. About him. About them. About his long history of cheating. "This can't go on," I said. And so he told her.
She/Us
There are so many clichés: My wife doesn't understand me. I feel trapped. We haven't been happy in a long time. He never said any of these.
He told me, at the beginning, that they were comfortable together, and content. That he felt safe with her, and that they were best friends. Even much later, when she had thrown all their photographs in the fireplace and cut his high-school football jersey in two with a pair of scissors, he did not want to hurt her, did not want to harm her, did not want her to dislike him.
Because she knew about me as the girlfriend the X had before she ever came along, the model for a girlfriend the X wished she'd be, she hated me from the start.
Her hatred and fear of me was so intense that she did not want to hear my name, so he did not use my name when he spoke to her. Even before he started having an affair with me, he was not allowed to speak my name, and if there was a show on television with a character who had my name, they had to change the channel.
After she found out about the affair, she called me the Whore. He did not want to call me the Whore, but he was still not allowed to use my name, so he would say, She. On the rare occasions when he speaks to Anderson, IN, by telephone now, I think the X still says She instead of my name, so as to avoid further enraging her.
When the X says us to me, he often means me and Anderson, IN, something they did together in the past, with the dogs or in Hawaii. I do not think he has ever said us to her, meaning himself and me, the Whore. After all, they were married for fourteen years. And she would not like to hear such an us, could not bear it, and so I think he has trained himself not to say it.
A Real Person
One can tell oneself that an affair—especially such an affair, organized so resolutely around sex; with a thinner woman (though not thin), a younger woman (though not young); with a woman who posts pictures of herself wearing shorts on the Internet; with a woman who is married to another man (though openly)—can only end badly.
That it's a cliché, a mirage, a midlife crisis. That it cannot last, will not be real, will not work out.
These are things people say. And it might make one feel better to think these things.
But some people are with their once-illicit lover, the one they used to meet after work at the cheap motel or late at night at the park 'n' ride, for the rest of their lives. There are revised in-laws and Tupperware and the dog leash hanging on a hook by the door, and there may also be vacations to nudist resorts and sequined minidresses for going out dancing, even in their sixties.
We've met people like this, the X and I: soccer moms and bikers and retired army veterans on their second marriages, blissfully grateful for the choice they made to leave their spouses decades ago for someone shocking or ill-advised or even much like the ex, but about whom all the ex's friends said, It won't last, and yet it has lasted, and sometimes, even all these years later, despite the high-school basketball schedule for the youngest and the bald spot and the scars she has from that lumpectomy, the sex is still very, very good.
People fall in love, people break up, people fall in love again. It's not magic. It's not even news. And yet every time it happens, we act as if the world has stopped, and all our friends tell us, He's disgusting. She's horrible. What a shitface. I can't believe that. They're crazy. Good riddance. As if any of us is immune.
I am trying, I suppose, to prove to Anderson, IN, that I am a real person, just me, which is both far less interesting and also maybe far more upsetting than being the magic-cunted Whore of her imaginings.
Anderson, IN, has told me that I'm a bad feminist for sleeping with her husband, for causing him to leave her. What I guess she means by this is that she equates feminism with kindness toward women by other women, and I did the unkind thing of sleeping with her husband while she was married to him—first without her knowledge or consent, and then, after a few months, with her knowledge but still without her consent—and then inspiring or otherwise causing her husband to ultimately choose to be with me and to end his marriage to her.
I think that Anderson, IN, thinks that if I were truly a feminist—as she knows I am deemed on the Internet, and as she knows I say I am—I would not be unkind to other women in this particular whorish way: that I would refrain from fucking or loving married men whose wives didn't want them to fuck or love other women.
But I do not agree that, at its core, feminism is about interpersonal kindnesses between women. I'm not sure it's about kindness at all. And I do not think that the act of sleeping with Anderson's husband was unkind. Nor do I think it was kind. It was something the X and I wanted for ourselves. It made us both happy. It was kind to us, because we felt nourished and delighted by it, and unkind to her, because she was being lied to, and her trust was betrayed. I do not think it had a universal quality of kindness or unkindness. I do think the fact that the X was lying to Anderson, IN, about what was going on was unkind. If it had been up to me, I would have told her earlier.
Sometimes I say, "I did Anderson, IN, a favor." When I say this, I mean that by being part of the cause—OK, the catalyst; OK, the major cause—of her marriage ending, I was doing her a kindness, because she often said that she did not want to be married to someone who lied to her or cheated on her, and she was married to someone who did both.
Of course, much of the time, there is a lie inherent in anything anyone says, and the lie is simply what we want to be true.
Bit of Strange
How common is it, when people have affairs or otherwise leave monogamous relationships, for the one who is betrayed and left to ask oneself, Was I a good partner?
How common is it for one to answer, No, not really? To say, perhaps, I was good, once, at the beginning, but then I just stopped putting in the effort and forgot most days to touch or even look at her, and my job got really boring and I stopped wanting to do karaoke and started wearing those really unflattering but comfortable pants every day, and mostly ordered takeout from the chicken place instead of making the paella she so enjoyed?
How common is it to see the person who left not as the enemy or as evil incarnate, but as a fellow tired wanderer who seized an opportunity that came along for something different, something with spark?
How common is it to think, Had I been presented with a similar opportunity, the cute guy in the next cubicle offering to go down on me under the desk one late night during inventory, I might have done the same, and betrayed this person I truly love and care about, just because I too have been feeling the need for something else in my life, a bit of strange?
How common is it to think, This does not mean she does or does not love me? That I am or am not a failure? That she is or is not an asshole? Because all of these answers are true? All of the above?
How common is it for the bit of strange to develop into something lasting, familiar?
How common is it for the cycle—the thrill, then the ennui, then the look to the left—to all happen again, and for the new, the strange, to be betrayed and left?
(I tell myself: Sometimes it all happens again but often it does not. Once a cheater, always a cheater, people like to say, but don't we all know someone who left his wife and kids to be with the goldenvoiced secretary with the calves like apostrophes, and who is still with that secretary decades later, both gray now, and living in a retirement village near Orlando, photographs of grandchildren in braces all over the refrigerator?)
I am walking barefoot on a dirt road through the mountains in the high desert. I am wearing a plum-colored miniskirt and listening to Lana Del Rey in my earbuds. Somewhere someone is shooting off a gun. It's hot and sunny.
I am thinking about codependence, and about fakery.
Could you leave me? I ask the X later on the phone.
That night, I dream about him leaving me. It's a horrible dream. I bait him into leaving me, actually, saying an abrupt goodbye as a way to manipulate him into caring more, but it backfires and he indifferently lets me go. I wake up screaming, No, then realize the man in the dream was not the X at all but the emotionally withholding boyfriend I left in my twenties to be with the X in the first place, all those years ago, before either of us ever knew Anderson, IN, existed.
In the morning, I call the X and the minute I hear the dearness in his voice, the vulnerable giddiness he has hearing from me while I am far away, I am OK.
I do not want my life to resemble a moody, pouty pop song. I do not live my life like this dumb lux pop song full of artifice. Quite the opposite: It is hard for me to do anything but tell the truth, except when I'm angry, and then I play that game where I say cruel things and push away push away when all I want is to be pulled close. The X knows this. Every time we fight we talk it through. He is learning to be brave in the face of my viciousness, and hold me down until I take the love he so wants to give me.
I often wake up thinking, I will love him till the end of time.
And then I check: Is that healthy?
I think it's healthy. It feels healthy. I am barefoot in the mountains, thousands of miles away from him, doing good work while he takes care of the kids and watches baseball playoffs with the husband. He has seen me without mascara, without heels. I have held his heavy head in my arms while he has cried about his fear of being forsaken.
I wonder if Anderson, IN, listens to Lana Del Rey.
If you chose not to tell her and decide to keep lying, keep hiding the receipts, keep bringing home the little bejeweled gifts from the Atlanta airport, go to page 13.
If you chose to tell and took her out to dinner and planned to say it, in public, where hopefully she would not make a scene, but then chickened out and couldn't do it, couldn't see her cry, and wanted to spend one more night watching television in bed side by side, go to page 44.
If you chose to tell her and did it because you couldn't spend one more night lying awake worrying if she was going to figure out the password on your iPad and you were going to come home from the trip to find your belongings scattered on the front lawn where all the neighbors could see, go to page 67.
If you chose to tell her and did it because you were just so fucking done, and you couldn't even wait to move into the hotel near work and file the papers, go to page 9.
If you chose to tell her and did it because it was really the best thing for both of you, to start saying what you meant to one another, out of respect and a desire to move on, both of you, to something new and potentially rejuvenating, go to page 20.
If you chose to leave without saying a word about any of it, and never do, just keep paying her several hundred dollars a week for the rest of her life and smile at her across the aisle at college graduations and weddings and hope that her drinking doesn't get any worse, go to page 35.
If you are choosing to pretend for the sake of this exercise to have told her but in fact never told her, not at all, and just kept living the way you were living, and took a new job so you wouldn't have to follow that person down the hall of the office anymore, and finished off that room in the basement and joined a bowling league, and are now feeling called out by what you are reading but still cannot, will not tell her, go to page 52.
