No, seriously. I really do have a great guy. A godly guy. For you girls out there young, matured, who know what I'm talking about can I please get an "AMEN" to the blessings a godly man can bring? Really. There's nothing in Hollywood that can match the greatness of being in such a relationship.
A book I recommend outside the Bible that I believe helped me turn my heart back over to God? The Secrets of an Irresistible Woman by Michelle McKinney Hammond. Ms. Hammond, thank God for your gift of insight. Thank you for writing what you wrote and for having the guts to tell it like it is. Did I tell you that I am one of your biggest fans?
I remember the first time I read this book, I was in a relationship that was not Godly at all. Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't an atheist, or anything, just a girl who grew up with religion and no Jesus relationship.
I am by no means a perfect woman now. But I would like to say that quite a few things have changed in my life because the God that I barely gave a second glance at, kept His entire focus, attention, love,k and mercy upon me as I ran around dragging my mess everywhere. Let me just say that years of garbage dragged around starts to leave a noticeable stench in the places I chose to stop and rest at before I finally dumped the trash bag and headed back home to God.
The walk was not and is still not easy to this day, but as each day passes, I am grateful that at the very least, as I walk, my steps are a bit lighter without the weight of the trash bag. Much lighter.
I was single for two years, just enjoying life, kinda poking around at a Christian church my mom took the entire family to. I re-met my soon-to-be husband at a 20 Somethings ministry he lead for his church. Started to date. Now we are planning for our wedding coming up very soon. Time truly flies.
Never knew a Godly relationship until him. Haven't been as happy, as struggling, as wrestling with God, as growing as much as I have experienced in this relationship.

Q: C code ends without taking input from function #include <stdio.h>

void square(char x)
{
    printf("Enter x again: ");      //the code stops after printing this line**
    scanf("%c", &x);
    printf("%c", x);
}

int main(void)
{
    char x;
    printf("Enter x: ");
    scanf("%c", &x);
    square(x);
    return 0;
}

I want the code to take input in the square function, but it stops before that.  I know if i use another variable instead of x in the function it will probably work but i want to reuse this variable.


In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings. Add the potatoes, green pepper, onion, salt and pepper to drippings; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are browned and tender, stirring occasionally.
Make six wells in the potato mixture; break one egg into each well. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes or until eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon.

Q: Lag due to threads swapping I have come across some recent lag spikes in a game I have been developing. It is consistent, happens around the same time. Using the java profiler jvisualvm I have found it occurs at the same time a particular thread seems to restart or something (AWT-EventQueue-0):

Other than that, there is no visible cause, not in heap usage, processor use, memory space, or method uses. It will sometimes cause a ConcurrentModificationException when drawing my array of objects, but this should only happen with substantial lag, and my game is hardly intensive.
I don't recall performing any recent changes to the project, however I have carried out the following recently:

*

*Updated java to the latest version

*Downloaded latest version of JDK7 (though it is not being used in this project)

*Fixed bug with eclipse that occurred as a result of installing JDK7 (removed 256m limit
in eclipse.ini)

I am running Eclipse Indigo-service-1 on 32 bit XP. My processors are barely used.

A: It seems you are doing too much on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT). AWT-Event-Queue-0 looks to be the EDT. Additionally, your last comment says

...it seems the lag spike only occurs when I draw my game board to an image first rather than directly to the component.

You'll need to push some of your computations to other threads, and it sounds like drawing the game board is a good choice for this. Also, any AI you may have.
Your keyboard & mouse handlers run on the EDT, and the graphics updates need to too. But you can pre-render to an image (like you are currently doing) outside the EDT. And you can send the keyboard & mouse events to another thread via a BlockingQueue.
One other thing you could do is decouple your game-update rate from your frame-update rate.
But without any details, I can't give much more advice.
Update: (just read your bit about ConcurrentModificationException)
This can be caused by two different things:

*

*you are updating a collection (like your ArrayList) in a different thread from the one you are reading it in; or

*you are iterating through said collection and updating it in the loop.

Point 2 is easy to fix; but I'm afraid I can't teach thread safety in such a short amount of space.

On the road to sustainability
AutoBeGreen sells environmentally-friendly products in a variety of markets
Michael McCord,
'I grew up thinking everybody can do a little bit better to help the environment|!!| and promoting greener transportation is good for everyone|!!|' says Glenn Johnson|!!| founder of Exeter-based AutoBeGreen.
As someone who spent 35 years as a manufacturer's representative in the automotive industry, Glenn Johnson would seem an unlikely candidate to start a distribution business focused on green automotive products.
"I know people think it must be an oxymoron — green products and the auto industry," said Johnson, who founded Exeter-based AutoBeGreen in 2011. "But even as kid growing up in a large family in Wayland, Mass., in the 1960s, we were environmentally aware and recycling. I grew up thinking everybody can do a little bit better to help the environment, and promoting greener transportation is good for everyone."
AutoBeGreen has made it easier for businesses and organizations (universities, municipalities, schools) to do a little bit better environmentally. Before he started the company, Johnson conducted serious research to find out what's out there. He wanted products made in the USA that would prove practical, high-quality, made and packaged green, and biodegradable or green-disposable.
"It wasn't easy to find products that meet those standards, but we found a few — enough to get started," Johnson said. "It was slow going at the beginning for internet-only sales, so we searched for other outlets."
Johnson has focused on biodegradable and re-refined engine and motor oils and found diverse markets, from landscape and tree-cutting companies in need of lubricants for equipment like chain saws and organizations with fleets of vehicles.
"We know that prep schools, colleges and universities are abundant in New England and the Northeast. We turned our focus in this direction and soon learned that these institutions have a sustainability emphasis, which fits perfectly with our products," he said. "We also expanded into small engine products, which are a perfect fit for the market. In most cases, the receptivity to our green products has been very enthusiastic. On the practical side, all our products meet or exceed manufacturers' specifications, thus eliminating warranty concerns."
AutoBeGreen's diverse and growing customer list includes the towns of Exeter and Durham, cities of Keene and Portsmouth; Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard, Yale and Tufts universities; Appalachian Mountain Club, the Mt. Washington Auto Road and Massachusetts Audubon Society.
AutoBeGreen's product line includes little-known but important companies in the green automotive products industry: EcoPower, Eco Absorb, Green Filter USA, Eco Touch and Ultra Lube.
Education is a vital part of Johnson's job and he's happy to explain the benefits of the products he distributes. For example, EcoPower re-refined motor oil recycles and cleans old motor oil.
"Compared to conventional motor oil, re-refined oil takes up to 80 percent less energy to produce," he said. "This process transforms motor oil into a renewable resource and helps keep oil where it belongs: in vehicles and out of the environment."
Johnson said the combination of business growth and the reliability of the products he distributes proves he has found the niche he sought.
"Our customers know we don't try to be green. They know we are green in everything we do," Johnson said.

Man convicted of Fairbanks murder & kidnapping dies
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – A man convicted of kidnapping and killing a Fairbanks high school student in 1987 has died.
The state Department of Corrections says 69-year-old Michael Alexander died at a Colorado hospital Sunday. The department, in a release, says Alexander had been transferred to the Colorado Department of Corrections last year to receive special medical care. Details about his health were not released.
The department says Alexander was serving consecutive 99-year sentences for murder and kidnapping. He was charged in the death of high school student Kathy Stockholm.
Court documents say the student left her home the evening of March 23, 1987, to get a book from her locker at school and never returned. Her body was later found on the outskirts of Fairbanks.

A few months ago we started using Watchman Monitoring and it's awesome! Helping our customers has never been easier. This week, a client had a Mac Mini server with a failing hard drive and Time Machine backups were running late, so this was the recipe for disaster. Thanks to Watchman Monitoring we were able to get this information immediately. I rescheduled my next day and went on site and fixed the problem. The customer understood I just saved them a ton of time and money, and they were very relieved and happy I solved it before they even noticed anything.
We also have a lot of residential customers who love this. Thanks to Watchman Monitoring, we're constantly e-mailing them when their backups are running late. When they install Malware, I send them an email with removal instructions. Often times this is an opportunity for the customer to ask me another question and we can write billable time. Watchman Monitoring really makes pro-active support super easy and gives us opportunities to contact our clients in quiet times.

Q: Generate Tkinter Canvas In Loop with Image I'm attempting to create a series of canvases, each displaying a different section of an image according to the coordinates present in a list. The number of different coordinates is dynamic so it must be done in a loop.
The issue I am having is even though I'm saving my references garbage collection is preventing all canvases except the last from displaying an image.
Here is what I have so far:
import tkinter as tk
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

class App(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = tk.Tk()

        self.im = cv2.imread(r"....")

        j = 0
        i = 0

            Frame = tk.Canvas(self.root,bg='white', highlightthickness=1, highlightbackground="black", width=100, height= 100)
            Frame.grid(row = i, column = j, sticky = 'w, e, n, s', padx=5, pady=5)
            ref = Frame.create_image(0, 0, image=self.img_tk, anchor="nw")

            images.append(self.img_tk)
            refs.append(ref)

As you can see, only the last frame in the loop has an image created. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks.

A: It is because images is a local variable, so it will be garbage collected after the function exits, so are the image references stored in it. The last image can be shown because self.img_tk saves the reference.
To solve it, change images to instance variable self.images.

The Paper Boat
Named a best picture book of 2020 by Kirkus, School Library Journal, Booklist, New York Public Library, the Globe and Mail, CBC, and the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books — a heartfelt and personal immigration story by critically acclaimed author Thao Lam
New from Thao Lam, the award-winning author of picture books My Cat Looks Like My Dad, Wallpaper, and Skunk on a String, comes a personal story inspired by her family's refugee journey.
In The Paper Boat, Thao's signature collage art tells the wordless story of one family's escape from Vietnam—a journey intertwined with an ant colony's parallel narrative.
At her home in Vietnam, a girl rescues ants from the sugar water set out to trap them. Later, when the girl's family flees war-torn Vietnam, ants lead them through the moonlit jungle to the boat that will take them to safety. Before boarding, the girl folds a paper boat from a bun wrapper and drops it into the water, and the ants climb on. Their perilous journey, besieged by punishing weather, predatory birds, and dehydration, before reaching a new beginning, mirrors the family's own. Impressionistic collages and a moving, Own Voices narrative make this a one-of-a-kind tale of courage, resilience, and hope.

Simone Biles wins wide support after withdrawal
28 Jul 2021 01:05AM (Updated: 28 Jul 2021 01:05AM)
REUTERS: Support poured in for U.S. gymnast Simone Biles, who dropped out https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/gymnastics-biles-out-team-event-can-still-get-medal-2021-07-27 of the women's team final at the Tokyo Summer Games after one disappointing vault, saying she had to focus on her mental health.
The 24-year-old American later said https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/olympics-gymnastics-simone-biles-withdrawal-team-final-2021-07-27 that the pressure of living up to expectations had left her no other choice. She had racked up 30 world and Olympic medals in a spectacular career.
Here are some quotes in response to her decision:
USA GYMNASTICS, U.S. GOVERNING BODY FOR THE SPORT
"Simone Biles has withdrawn from the team final competition due to a medical issue. She will be assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions."
ROBERT ANDREWS, MENTAL TRAINING EXPERT WHO HAS WORKED WITH BILES FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS
"Gymnastics probably more than any other sport... requires laser, pinpoint focus... Being a global presence, the greatest of all time, all that starts creating interference... If she's this stressed out to where she has a mental block, I would approach it with caution."
JORDAN CHILES, U.S. OLYMPICS GYMNAST, ON REPLACING BILES
"That was a huge thing. When I was told that I had to put my grips on, I was just like O-M-G. Those were definitely some big shoes that I had to fill and I'm very happy that I was able to do that. Yes, she is the GOAT ('Greatest Of All Time'). I was able to show the world that not only can you fill amazing people's shoes but we also did this together as well."
SUNISA LEE, U.S. OLYMPICS GYMNAST
"We were all so stressed. We honestly didn't know in that moment. She's freaking Simone Biles. She carries the team basically. When we kind of had to step up to the plate and do what we had to do, it was very hard and stressful. But I'm very proud of us because we did that."
MAI MURAKAMI, JAPANESE OLYMPICS GYMNAST
"This is very unusual for her, but if you're under a lot of pressure it can affect your body... I think she decided to save her body for later this week, for the all-around and apparatus."
JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
"Gratitude and support are what @Simone_Biles deserves. Still the GOAT and we are all just lucky to be able to see her in action."
ALY RAISMAN, RETIRED U.S. GYMNAST AND OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST
"I feel sick to my stomach. It's horrible. I know that all of these athletes dream of this moment for their whole entire lives and so I'm just completely devastated and obviously so worried and just hoping Simone's OK.
"I'm also thinking about the mental impact this has to have on Simone. It's just so much pressure and I've been watching how much pressure has been on her the months leading up to the Games and it's just devastating. I feel horrible."
"Just a friendly reminder: Olympic athletes are human & they're doing the best they can. It's REALLY hard to peak at the right moment & do the routine of your life under such pressure."
KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS, PLAYER FOR THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
"Sending nothing but love and positivity to the @Simone_Biles"
ADAM RIPPON, RETIRED U.S. FIGURE SKATER
"I can't imagine the pressure Simone has been feeling. Sending her SO much love. It easy to forget she's still human. WE LOVE YOU."
MELANIE DE JESUS DOS SANTOS, FRENCH OLYMPIC GYMNAST
"We are not used to seeing Simone Biles like this. I would like to say that it is not easy because she is Simone Biles and everyone is watching her.
"She took down the difficulty (downgraded) not to hurt herself. And I think she did the right thing. It's so difficult psychologically for her. I think she doesn't even think any more about what she needs to do. She thinks what she might do wrong. And this destabilized her."
KRISTOPHER B. JONES, U.S. AUTHOR AND ENTREPRENEUR
"Super proud of USA gymnast @Simone_Biles for prioritizing mental health over achievement. Too often we push ourselves too far thinking that's what is required to be loved and happy. However, sometimes it's not about another metal or award - it's about being human and breathing."

The invention relates to a method for carrying out heterogeneous catalytic exothermic gas phase reactions at a high temperature and high pressure, during which the synthesis gas comprised of a mixture of make-up gas and/or of recycle gas is fed through at least two synthesis stages that are connected in-series to form a synthesis system. The product gases from the synthesis stages, with the exception of the last stage, are separated into at least two partial flows. One partial flow is cooled until the product is condensated out, and the condensate containing the product is separated from the gaseous constituents. Afterwards, the gaseous constituents are combined with the warm portion of the product gas in order to reach the inlet temperature of the next synthesis stage. In addition, the partial flow from which the product was condensated out and removed, can be heated before being remixed with the warm portion of the product gas. After heating, the temperature is less than that of the warm portion of the product gas, and the heat used for heating the partial flow from which the product was condensated out, is extracted, at least in part, from this partial flow during its cooling.
Title: "Method for carrying out heterogeneous catalytic exothermic gas phase reactions."
The present invention relates to a method for carrying out heterogeneous catalytic exothermic gas phase reactions, in adiabatic and non-adiabatic conditions, in view of greater conversion yields with reduced energy consumption. Examples of such heterogeneous catalytic exothermic gas phase reactions are the production of methanol from synthesis gas, the production of ammonia from mixtures containing hydrogen and nitrogen or the production of higher alcohols from synthesis gas.
The industrial production of these products is based on intense exothermic equilibrium reactions, which are less advantageous for the production of such products, wherein good reaction yields can only be achieved by use of selective catalysts. The production of these products is facilitated, from the viewpoint of the chemical equilibrium, by relatively low temperatures, The reaction speed depends on the activity of the catalyst, on temperature, and on the composition of the synthesis gas.
successive adiabatic catalyst beds in one or more converters. The adiabatic methods provide smaller yields per cycle compared to isothermal methods, therefore requiring higher catalyst volumes and circulation ratios.
At present, in the industrial production of methanol, only catalysts based on CuO/ZnO/A12O3 are used. The synthesis is carried out at pressures from 20 to 120 bar and temperatures in the range of 200 to 350°C.
The synthesis gas, composed of a mixture of hydrogen with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, is obtained by steam reforming or auto-thermal reforming of methane gas. It is mixed with recycle gas, then pre-heated and compressed up to the synthesis pressure, the gas then reacting in a successive reactor. The conventional methanol reactors are composed of a pressurized vessel, which is provided with one or more synthesis catalyst beds, cooling gas units and/or heat exchangers, in order to pre-heat the synthesis gas and to control the reaction heat.
the art comprises the so called "quench-gas" reactors, in which the synthesis catalyst is controlled by introducing cold synthesis gas. Examples of such reactors are described in patent publications GB 1 105 614, EP 0 359 952, and US 4,859,425.
These reactors and corresponding methods require high circulation ratios, in order to obtain high yields. In US 4,778,662 a reactor is described, in which the generated heat is transferred to the incoming synthesis gas. In patent specifications US 5,252,609 and US 5,631,302 a method is described, in which the make-up gas undergoes a pre-synthesis, for reducing the cycle costs. In DE 196 05 572 Al two synthesis reactors connected in series operate in a circuit, to reduce the circulation costs - The high carbon oxide yields are obtained with make up gases, whose C02-to-CO ratios are less than 0.5. Also in WO 99/59945 a method is described in which the circulation reduction is obtained by means of 2 or 3 reactors connected in series and by optimization of the make-up gas distribution. Also in this case a make-up gas is used with C02-to-CO ratios less than 0.5. These synthesis gases can only be produced with auto-thermal or combined reforming plants, which require costly oxygen plants.
To this end the synthesis gas is led through one or more synthesis systems connected in series, which are not circuit systems, and then introduced into a circuit system. After each of these synthesis systems a rise in pressure takes place and in each of these systems ammonia is obtained and extracted.
The synthesis reactors are usually of the type described in DE 37 08 781, which contains a catalyst and a heat exchanger. A connection in series of a plurality of these reactors is known, where it is always necessary to ensure that the reactor inlet temperature has a minimum value, approximately 300 to 400°C for the most common catalyst materials, although the temperature at the reactor outlet should not exceed the maximum catalyst damaging temperature. Moreover each rise in temperature always causes a worsening of the reactor yield obtainable on the basis of the chemical equilibrium. It is therefore desirable to keep the reactor temperature as near as possible to the minimal temperature.
A number of methods exist for setting up these reactor temperatures. In EP 272 449 a method is described where, in a circuit system, at least 2 reactors are connected in-series and, before reaching the last reactor, control is provided by the fact that a partial flow of the circulation gas leaving the penultimate catalyst bed is led to a steam generator, which acts as a heat exchanger and/or to a bypass line bypassing this heat exchanger, where a partial flow of cold circulation gases can be led to said bypass line, prior to heating and feeding to the first catalyst bed, as a quench means.
The methods cited for ammonia production have however the disadvantage that the obtainable ammonia quantity is limited by the chemical reaction equilibrium in the last reactor. Since this limit is frequently reached already after 2 or 3 reactors, according to the state of the art, it is not possible to connect further reactors, if an increase in capacity is desired. Moreover, control of the temperature at variable operating conditions is costly and complex.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for carrying out heterogeneous catalytic exothermic gas phase reactions at high temperature and pressure, which is suitable for plants for the production of methanol and ammonia as well as for similar synthesis of higher alcohols from synthesis gas, and which is also suitable for upgrading existing plants.
- and; subsequently, the gaseous constituents are combined with the warm portion of the product gas in order to reach the inlet temperature of the next synthesis stage.
In embodiments of said method, the partial flow from which the product was condensated out and removed, is heated before being remixed with the warm portion of the product gas, wherein, after heating, the temperature is less than that of the warm portion of the product gas, otherwise no reduction in the mixing temperature will be obtained after combining the partial flows. The heat used for heating the partial flow from which the product was condensated out, can be extracted, at least in part, from this partial flow during its cooling. This can be achieved by providing a gas-gas heat exchanger.
Depending on the local boundary conditions, it is advantageous and possible to use other heating systems, in particular in connection with the methods used for the condensation of the product and the production of the synthesis gas.
In a further embodiment of the method, from the partion of the product gas to be cooled, most of the heat is recovered by indirect heat exchange with boiler feed water and/or completely desalinated water.
In a further embodiment of the method, the synthesis gas fed to the first synthesis reactor is composed of from 16 to 40 Mol-% of make-up synthesis gas. A further feeding of synthesis gas between the individual reactors of the reactor system, which in this case has to be carried out as a synthesis loop, is not provided.
In a further embodiment of the method, the last reactor of a synthesis system is cooled by indirect heat exchange with synthesis gas. For instance, in the synthesis of ammonia it is on the contrary common practice to cool the first reactor, since in this first reactor the most intensive reaction conditions are present - the inlet product concentrations are as low as possible in order to have the maximum possible range until the equilibrium yield is reached - and thus the temperature increases particularly rapidly due to the exothermic characteristic. In the present invention this is no longer required, since each of the reactors connected in series can operate with approximately the same inlet product concentrations. In this way it is possible to lower the outlet temperature of the last reactor and, therefore, it is possible to move the chemical equilibrium of the exothermal reaction to an advantageous operating point, further increasing the yield.
Further embodiments of the invention refer in particular to the synthesis of methanol. Hereby, from a synthesis gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, methanol is produced by conversion on granular copper catalysts at pressures in the range of 20 - 120 bar and temperatures of 200 to 350°C, wherein the condensation is set in a partial flow among the individual reactors, so that between the first and the last synthesis stage, 15 -50% of the total methanol production can be found in the separated methanol-containing condensate.
crossed by tubes in which cooling water, boiling at an elevated pressure, flows.
In this way, it is economically possible to carry out the methanol synthesis from hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, in at least two synthesis stages, even with C02-C0 ratios up to 1:1 in make-up gas, so increasing yield and reducing costs. In this way, it is also possible to advantageously retrofit and, with additional external use of synthesis gas, to increase the production capacity in system loops without additional costs, up to 50%, by cooling the product mixture from the outlet temperature of a synthesis stage to the inlet temperature of the successive stage, at the same time removing raw methanol from the product mixture. Due to the fact that methanol and water are removed from the product mixture of the preceding stage, the composition of the synthesis gas for the next synthesis stage is set more advantageously at the equilibrium and, therefore, the CO and C02 conversion yield for each cycle is increased.
one synthesis stage and the inlet temperature of the successive synthesis stage.
The partial condensation of raw methanol from the product gas with simultaneous setting of the inlet temperature in the successive synthesis stage is obtained according to the invention by separation of the product gas into two parts. One part is cooled in order to condense the methanol and water vapors, to separate the raw methanol from the synthesis gas, to recombine the cold synthesis gas with the warm portion of the product gas, in order to reach the inlet temperature in the successive synthesis stage. Cooling of the product gas until condensation of the raw methanol takes places with heat recovery. In methanol synthesis, the heat can be transferred to the boiler feed water and/or to the completely desalinated water.
Further embodiments of the invention refer in particular to ammonia synthesis. In ammonia synthesis, where the temperature of the product gas is more than 100°C higher than in the synthesis of methanol, a portion of the heat to be removed for condensation can also be used for steam generation. The higher temperature difference between the condensation temperature and reactor inlet temperature influences the mixing ratio of the partial flows. Due to the very high difference in temperature, it is necessary to separate, cool and free from ammonia only a small partial flow, in order to obtain, after its renewed mixing with the principal flow, an adequate reactor inlet temperature. Hereby a notable enhancement with respect to the state of the art is obtained, but the potential for enhancement is not completely exploited.
Therefore, according to the dependent claims, the temperature difference between the condensation temperature and the reactor inlet temperature is artificially reduced by the fact that re-heating of the gas takes place after condensation of ammonia. Reducing the temperature difference causes a variation in the mixing ratio since a greater partial flow can be led to the condensation of ammonia, which increases the quantity of additional ammonia obtained. In the limit case it can be advantageous to maintain the partial flow from which no ammonia condenses as low as possible, using it only for control purposes.
In this way the inlet concentration of ammonia in the successive reactor is reduced, where the reaction yield and the reaction temperature rise consequently. By repeated use of the invention - splitting of the outlet flows with subsequent partial condensation, re-heating and combination of the partial flows - it is possible to recover a great part of the ammonia and therefore to generate a gas state, by reducing the ammonia concentration, which permits connection of a further reactor downstream.
reduced reactor dimensions, which are advantageous for manufacture reasons.
This possibility to retrofit many further reactors, for instance in a loop system, but also in a make-up gas system, connected upstream to a loop system, as described in EP 1 339 641 Bl, is an advantage of the invention.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a heat recovery steam generator is placed downstream from each ammonia reactor, which converts part of the reaction heat into usable steam, therefore reducing the coolant requirements in the condensation of ammonia. The heat recovery steam generator can be placed either upstream or downstream of the point where separation in partial flows according to the invention takes place; in the latter case an arrangement at each partial flow is possible.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the heating of the partial flow, from which ammonia was condensed, is supported by heat transmission from a successive reactor. For construction reasons, in special cases, for instance in the case of retrofitting using existing plant components, it can also be advantageous to provide this further heating downstream from the conjunction point of the partial flows, which is equivalent.

contained water and methanol vapors condense and reach the separator 114 through line 111. In the separator 114 the liquid raw methanol is separated from the gaseous components of the product gas 104 and is further fed through line 112 and the pressure-reducing valve 113 to a collecting and pressure-reducing vessel. The gaseous components flow through the separator 114 in line 115 and are combined with the second product gas component coming from line 105 and are fed through line 116 as an inlet flow C1 to the successive synthesis stage X+l 102. The inlet flow C1 at a temperature lower than flow D and freed from its water and methanol content, is therefore more advantageously controlled with respect to equilibrium and kinetics. The advantages of this method result in a much smaller circulation ratio as compared to the known adiabatic methods.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the present method with three synthesis stages 201, 202 and 203, which are connected in series in a pressure resistant synthesis reactor vessel 204. The make-up gas, flow A, in line 242 mixes with the recycle gas, flow B, coming from line 240, and is drawn by the rotating compressor 232, compressed and fed through line 244 to the gas-gas heat exchanger 231. By heat exchange with the final product, gas flowing from synthesis stage 203, flow D2, line 230, is preheated to the inlet temperature in the first synthesis stage and reaches through line 205, as flow C, the first synthesis catalyst layer 201, where the reaction takes place adiabatically and the temperature rises steadily until it reaches the outlet of the catalyst.
first partial flow flows through line 207 and the heat exchanger 251, where it transfers some of its heat to the boiler feed water 208. Thereafter it flows to the heat exchanger 251' , where it transfers heat to the completely desalinated water 208! and cools down to 60°C. It then reaches, through line 209, the water cooler 210, cools down to 40°C, water and methanol vapors condense and are separated from the gaseous components in the separator 212. The mixture containing liquid methanol is withdrawn through line 213 and the pressure^reducing valve 214, as a first raw methanol product flow E, from the synthesis loop, and is fed to the intermediate pressure-reducing vessel 253 through the collecting line 245. The gaseous components are drawn from the separator 212 through line 215 and are then recombined with the second product gaseous portion from line 216, in line 217, forming the inlet flow Cl of synthesis stage 202.
vessel 253. The gaseous components from the separator 224 are drawn through line 227, are combined with the warm product mixture component from line 228, and are led to the synthesis stage 203 through line 229 as flow C2.
The flow ratio of line 22 8 and line 227 is governed by the temperature control at the inlet of synthesis stage 203. The product mixture flow D2 is withdrawn through line 230 from synthesis stage 3 and is fed to the gas-gas heat exchanger 231. Here, it cools down and heats the mixture of make-up gas and recycle gas, which is fed through line 244 to the first synthesis stage. Some of the product gas D2 is used, through line 255, also for heat recovery in the heat exchanger 254. The heat is transferred to the completely desalinated water, line 256, and the cooled product gas is fed through line 257 to the product gas at the outlet from the heat exchanger 231. The mixture is fed, through line 233, to the water cooler 234 and is cooled down to 40°C, the water and methanol vapors condense and are fed through line 235 to the separator 236.
shown. The preheated boiler feed water (208 and 22 0) as well as the preheated and completely desalinated water (208', 220f and 256) are fed to a steam generator outside the synthesis loop.
According to fig. 3, a mixture of make-up and recycle synthesis gas is fed through line 305, as flow C, into the first synthesis reactor 306. This first synthesis reactor is a conventional adiabatically operated shaft reactor, containing the copper catalyst, with two beds 307 and 312, with indirect intermediate cooling. The coolant is boiler feed water 309, which is fed through the heat exchanger 310, a steam generator, into the gas generating apparatus. The product mixture from the catalyst bed 307 is withdrawn through line 308 and fed through the heat exchanger 310, transferring some of its heat to the boiler feed water, and cools down to the inlet temperature of the catalyst bed 312.

vessel 321 through line 322 and the pressure-reducing valve 345. The gaseous components flow through line 323 out from the separating vessel 321 and are admixed to the warm partial flow of product gas D from line 314, forming flow C1 in line 324, which reaches the inlet temperature in the cooling tubes 328 of the second synthesis reactor. The cooling tubes extend spirally through the synthesis catalyst 326 of the second synthesis reactor, in an upwards direction. The synthesis gas absorbs some of the reaction heat and is therefore preheated to the inlet temperature of the catalyst, and then flows downwards through the synthesis catalyst.
The product mixture Dl is withdrawn through line 329 from the synthesis reactor and is fed through the heat exchanger 304, in which it is cooled, at the same time preheating the mixture of the make-up and recycle synthesis gas, fed by the rotary compressor 302, to the inlet temperature in the first synthesis reactor, as flow C. The product mixture Dl then flows further through line 330 in the water cooler 331, where it is cooled down to 40°C and reaches, through line 332, the separating vessel 333, in which gases are separated from liquids. The gaseous components are withdrawn through line 338, wherein part of these components are removed from the process through line 339. The synthesis gases to be recycled from line 341, together with the make-up gas from line 301 are drawn by the rotary compressor 302 and fed in an already described manner to the first synthesis reactor 306, as flow C.
the pressure-reducing vessel 336. Residual gas is drawn through line 337 and raw methanol is withdrawn through line 335, and then purified in a conventional way in a plant not shown in the drawings.
Fig. 3-A shows a flow chart of the method according to the invention, in which both synthesis reactors 306 and 325 are cooled by indirect heat exchange with synthesis gas, which flows through spiral tubes, which cross the catalyst. In addition to the embodiments of fig. 3, a further heat exchanger 310 is provided, for further heat recovery from the second product gas, i.e. flow D1. Through line 330, the product mixture Dl is fed from heat exchanger 304 to heat exchanger 310, and through line 311 further to the water end cooler 331. In the heat exchanger 310, some of the heat is absorbed from the fully desalinated water 312 and is used to generate steam in synthesis gas production, which is not shown here. The remaining reference numerals and flow numbers have the already explained meaning.
Fig. 3-B shows an embodiment of the method according to the invention, in which the first synthesis reactor 306 is an isothermal synthesis reactor. The catalyst charge 307 is crossed by coiled cooling tubes 348, in which as a refrigerant, water boiling at an elevated pressure flows in a natural or forced circulation 311. A mixture of vapor and boiling water is withdrawn through line 34 6 and fed to a vapor drum (not shown). In order to pre-heat the mixture of make-up gas and recycle gas, i.e. flow C, in line 305, up to the inlet temperature in the first synthesis reactor 306, the gas mixture is fed also through the heat exchanger 316, by means of lines 349 and 350. The remaining reference numerals and flow numbers have the same meaning as in fig. 3 and 3-A.
Hereunder the operation of the methanol plant according to the invention is explained, wherein examples 2, 3 and 4 of table 1 are based on the arrangements of fig. 2 and fig. 3,. 3-A respectively. On the other hand, example 1 is a comparative example according to the state of the art and corresponds to fig. 2, although without raw methanol separation after the synthesis stages 201 and 202, without the heat exchangers 251' and 252', without the water coolers 210 and 222 and without the separators 212 and 224. The product gases 2 06 and 218 are no longer divided into two partial flows; instead they are fed, after heat transfer in heat exchangers 251 and 252, directly to the following synthesis stage. Data of the examples are obtained through calculation. For a clearer overview and for comparative purposes, data are shown in tabular form.
The total catalyst quantity in examples 1 and 2 are the same. In example 3 the total catalyst quantity is divided according to the ratio 1:1.2 among synthesis reactors 6 and 2 5. In example 4 the total catalyst quantity is divided according to the ratio 1:1.25 among the two synthesis reactors. In examples 3 and 4, the catalyst quantity is 8% less than in example 1.
fig. 3-B. For comparative purposes, a make-up gas composition with a CO:C02 ratio equal to approximately 1:1 is used. In example 5, the product mixture from the first synthesis reactor 6, i.e. flow D, from line 313, fig. 3-B, is not divided into two partial flows and is not cooled down, but instead it is fed directly as flow C1 to the upper part of the second synthesis reactor 325 and flows downwards through the catalyst bed 32 6. The mixture of recycle and make-up gas, i.e. flow C, from line 305, fig. 3B, is fed directly to the lower inlet of the spiral tubes 328, fig. 3B, then flows upwards through the tubes and leaves the second synthesis reactor on the upper side and is fed further on to the inlet in the catalyst bed 307 of the first synthesis reactor 306. The entire raw methanol quantity is withdrawn from the second product mixture, i.e. flow Dl, fig. 3B, after cooling down, from the separator 333.

The following drawings and examples of calculations refer to ammonia production. Fig. 4 shows the method of the invention according to the independent claim, in a conventional ammonia plant, in which two ammonia reactors are provided inside a synthesis loop. The hot product gas 4 02 leaving the first synthesis reactor 401 is divided at the separation point 403 into a bypass flow 404 and a partial flow 405, which is cooled in a cascading arrangement of heat exchangers, which are here symbolically represented by the heat exchanger 406, in such a way that most of the ammonia contained in the partial flow 405 is condensed out, and is then extracted in the separator 407 from the cooled partial flow 406, as liquid ammonia 409.
The reduced partial flow 410 is combined with the hot bypass flow 404, under the control of the control valve 411, and forms the working flow 412 for the second synthesis reactor 413, where further conversion into ammonia is carried out. The hot product gas 414 leaving the second synthesis reactor 413 is cooled in the gas-gas heat exchanger 415 by the synthesis gas 416 of the first synthesis reactor 4 01 to be warmed, then it is conventionally fed to a steam generator 417, then cooled down to ambient temperature, a purge gas 419 being withdrawn, make-up gas 420 is admixed, the product gas is deep cooled in the chiller 421 and liquid ammonia 422 is separated in the ammonia separator 423. The cold synthesis gas 424 is fed by the circulation compressor 425 to the gas-gas heat exchanger 415, where it is reheated before being used in the first synthesis reactor 401.
3,	used in a conventional ammonia plant according to fig.
(corresponds to 406), the partial flow 504 is cooled so that most of the ammonia contained condenses out, and is extracted in the separator 508 (corresponds to 407) from the cooled partial flow 509 (corresponds to 408) as liquid ammonia 510 (corresponds to 409) .
The reduced partial flow 511 is reheated in the gas-gas heat exchanger 506 and only successively combined, as a mixing flow 512, with the hot bypass flow 503, controlled by the control valve 513, and forms the synthesis gas flow 514 for the following synthesis reactor (not shown) . By selecting the mixing ratio of flows 503 and 504 as well as by choosing the cooling system 507, it is possible to set arbitrarily low ammonia concentrations in flow 514. The less the ammonia concentrations chosen in flow 514, the higher is the expected temperature increase in the following reactor, and the lower the required reactor inlet temperature.
preferred in reactors which are provided with two catalyst beds and one internal heat exchange. Higher inlet temperatures are used in reactors with a single catalyst bed. If a low inlet temperature is chosen, the mixing ratio of flows 503-504 is as low as possible and can also reach zero, and the percentage of ammonia which has to be separated from flow 509 is as high as possible. In this case, it is possible to generate a lot of high pressure steam in the steam generator 505, because of a very high energy excess.
If a higher inlet temperature is chosen, the mixing ratio of flows 503-504 is relatively high and the ammonia percentage, which has to be separated from flow 509, is lower. In this case, in the steam generator 505 only a small amount of high pressure steam can be generated, because of the absence of a high energy surplus. On the other hand, requirements in reactors, heat exchangers and for ammonia condensation are lower. In designing retrofittings with a plurality of reactors, the skilled in the art may also apply different concepts for the individual reactors according to the invention, wherein it is possible to use every known reactor type.
into a reactor with one catalyst bed. Example 10 also shows another embodiment according to claim 3, as shown in fig. 5, where flow 514 is fed at lower reactor inlet temperature into a reactor with two catalyst beds and internal heat exchange.
Even with a loop formed by 2 reactors it is possible to obtain a subsequent capacity increase of almost 50%.
Fig. 6 shows how it is possible to obtain, by following examples 9 and 10, a capacity increase which is higher than a factor 2. In this case, the five ammonia reactors 601, 602, 603, 604 and 605 are connected in series, although there is no problem to continue using two reactors already present. The reactors can be exactly identical or different from one another, depending on the different situations. Ammonia 612 is obtained from the partial condensation systems 606, 607, 608 and 609, which all correspond to the loop shown in fig. 5, then it is extracted downstream of the last reactor from the separator 610 where, because of the circulation gas compressor 611, no bypass can be provided after the last reactor.
2.	Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the partial flow, from which the product has been condensated out and removed, is heated before its remixing with the warm portion of the product gas, wherein the temperature after heating is lower than the temperature of the warm portion of the product gas.
3.	Method according to claim 2, characterized in that the heat used for heating the partial flow, from which the product has been condensated out, is at least partially recovered from the cooling of this partial flow.
4.	Method according to any of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that from the portion of the product gas to be cooled, most of the heat is recovered by indirect heat exchange with boiler feed water and/or totally desalinated water.
5.	Method according to any of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the synthesis gas led into the first synthesis reactor is composed of 16 to 40 mol-% of make-up synthesis gas .
6.	Method according to any of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the last reactor of a synthesis system is cooled by indirect heat exchange with synthesis gas.
7.	Method according to any of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that methanol is obtained from a synthesis gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, by conversion on granular, copper containing catalysts, at pressures between 20 and 120 bar and temperatures between 20 0 and 350 °C and in that, between the first and last synthesis stage, 15 to 50% of the total methanol production is present in the separated methanol containing condensate.
8.	Method according to claim 7, characterized in that the first synthesis reactor is an adiabatic multiple bed reactor.
9.	Method according to claim 7, characterized in that the first reactor is a tube reactor with synthesis gas cooling.
10.	Method according to claim 7, characterized in that the first synthesis reactor is an isothermal reactor.
11.	Method according to claim 10, characterized in that the catalyst is crossed by tubes, in which water, boiling at elevated pressure, flows.
12.	Method according to any of claims 2 to 6, characterized in that at least 3 ammonia reactors are connected in series.
13.	Method according to any of claims 1 to 6 and 12, characterized in that downstream of each ammonia reactor a cooling vessel is arranged, which converts part of the reaction heat into working steam.
14.	Method according to any of claims 2 to 6 and 12, characterized in that heating of the partial flow, from which ammonia has condensated out, is supported by heat transfer from a successive reactor.


Dinah slung an arm around his middle, nibbling on a hot wing. "Nope. Well, find a job, a real job, as a P.I. My internship is still going, but they still can't pay me a full salary, they don't have that kind of money. So, experience, but not dollars." She sighed. "And then move back in here in July if that doesn't work out." She gestured to the view through the two-story high window, past the giant clock gears. "Still, can't argue with the view. Or the people. Or having Alfred around to make food-- hey, you want a sample taste from me?"
Jono didn't have much to offer, but he certainly had that.
Dinah bit into the peppery-vinegary crunchy wonderfulness of the chicken wing, and concentrated hard on savoring every bite of it so Jono could get a taste. Chased by the avocado eggroll, it really was one of Alfred's Top Five concoctions.
"Awww, thanks. And yeah. The hauling boxes... thing." Dinah grimaced. "Especially since it'll be in the middle of summer, and half my study group will either be working or out of town, if this happens in July like it might." She grinned then. "You want to go crimefighting with us some night? Yay!"
Which left him with his old X-Men garb. Or, worse, the ketchup and mustard uniforms that Emma had one outfitted him in for Generation X.
"Barbara could probably fabricate something for you," Dinah offered. "If you let her use the body-scanner on you. Something black, maybe?" She grinned. "IT's a theme in New Gotham. With really cool boots?"
If it wasn't obvious that he was teasing, you probably had never met Jono before.
Barbara had a lot of stuff that sounded that way, that baiscally came down to in this case to, "Large X-ray scanner. For some of the stuff we find that we don't know what it is." She grinned. "I wanted you to meet Barbara and Helena anyway, so, let's go say hi."
Barbara looked up as they approached, turning her chair a little more towards them. "Barbara, this is Jonothan Starsmore, Jono. Jono, my big sister and person who I owe any good study habits that let me graduate to, Barbara Gordon."
That was said with a fond look in Dinah's direction. As tentative as he still was about the idea of being scanned, he could still muster up the energy to be a big-brotherly nibshit at Dinah's party. That was just how he rolled.
They would be discussing just how he felt about people taking pictures of his demolished chest cavity later, though.
Barbara smiled at him and shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard a good bit about you from Dinah over the years. I'm especially glad you've recovered after last year in Glacia." She was trying not to snicker at Dinah's eyeroll on Jono's commentary. "It was touch or go a couple times. We were pretty sure she was okay when she didn't run off with the circus last time they were in town."
Jono was going to behave himself, and refrain from pointing out that it was difficult to carry poison around in your lungs if you actually didn't have any anymore. See? Being good!
Unfortunately, he'd probably end up a sideshow act, meant for gawking and pointing at, which didn't sit so well with him for whatever reason.
"They never visited Opal," Dinah grumbled, turning pink. "And it was Cirque de Soleil, come on! Anyone would want to join that."
Camille wandered through and wound herself around Jono's legs about then, then sat on his feet, staring at him. Beaming waves of FEED ME at him.
"We're really, really proud of her," Barbara said, smile softening as she looked at Dinah. "And if you'd taken another year to finish, or taken it off, it wouldn't have mattered, you know. But," she added, looking at Jono, expression very deadpan, "Sometimes she's stubborn. And sometimes she's asleep."
From the standpoint of somewhat older friend who used to be the same age, and all. And from the standpoint of comrade-in-arms, of someone who had fought and won the same war.
Camille deigned to lick his fingers and rub her face against them, because her subjects deserved appreciation. Also he smelled interestingly of fire, so.
"You guyssss," Dinah groaned, turning even pinker.
"No, you have to put up with this, it's your graduation day," Barbara told her. She smiled at Jono. "As long as she stops getting any taller, so we don't have to modify her uniform again, she can grow as much as she wants. I still say it would be fine for you to move back in here," she added to Dinah, in tones of resignation that Dinah didn't agree. "We'd love to have you back here, you know."
"I know. I just..." Yeah. Wanted to try and prove she was a full adult now.
Barbara shook her head, then smiled at Jono. "So you're teaching, and Dinah said you were managing the music store on the Island. You're not in Glacia full-time?"
Helena wandered by at that point, and snorted as she handed Dinah another slice of cake. "Nobody worthwhile is." She gave Jono an approving look, she and Camille shared a Look of Cat People Who Get it, and then she wandered off again.
"That was Helena," Barbara said, continuing with the deadpan. "She doesn't do manners. And doesn't get why that bothers anyone." She blew out a breath, then looked down at her chair. "And I get shell-shock." She looked back at Jono. "It gets better."


NEW ORLEANS (AP) Ezekiel Charles and Bryson Robinson scored 17 points apiece and New Orleans defeated Northwestern State 72-64 on Wednesday night.
Charles and Robinson were particularly effective in the second half, scoring 12 and 11 points, respectively. Damon Rossler added 10 points in the second half as the three combined for 33 of the Privateers' 40 points.
There were six ties and eight lead changes in the second half. After the last tie - 53-all with 7:06 to go - New Orleans went on an 11-0 run over the next three minutes. The Demons rallied, scoring the next nine points to close within 64-62 in the final minute. New Orleans' Gerrale Gates made a layup and free throw for the 3-point play, then Brian White made a pair for the Demons and the score was 67-64 at 0:39. But the Demons missed their next three shots and New Orleans made 3 of 4 free throws and a layup to hold on.
Ishmael Lane had 17 points and 15 rebounds for Northwestern State (7-14, 2-6 Southland Conference). He was the only Demon in double figures.
Charles had nine rebounds and Robinson had seven assists for New Orleans (11-9, 6-3).
New Orleans led 32-31 at halftime.

2nd Show Added by Popular Demand!
Flow State World Tour
TASH SULTANA is a dynamic young artist who has commanded world attention since homemade videos of Tash went viral. A true virtuoso, Tash was soon selling out massive theatres globally and playing at the world's biggest festivals – no mean feat for an artist who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom.
Since Tash's grandfather gifted a guitar at the age of three, the self-taught artist quickly developed a unique style that has people lining up to see around the globe. Tash has mastered over 15 instruments, vocals that shine with a magical quality and a live show that needs to be seen to be believed.
The one-person powerhouse started out playing open mic nights on a fake id and busking on the streets of Melbourne. Now Tash is selling out every headline show, from theatres to arenas across multiple countries and playing dozens of high profile festivals around the globe.
Recent accolades include over 200M streams of the Notion EP, topping the iTunes chart in multiple countries, 'Jungle' coming in at #3 in triple j's Hottest 100, achieving gold sales for the Notion EP and platinum sales for single 'Jungle' which also featured in FIFA 18, winning the prestigious unearthed j award, 4x Aria award nominations, multiple APRA nominations and most recently playing stand out sets at Coachella & Lollapalooza 2018.
On August 31 Tash's highly anticipated debut album, 'Flow State' will be released with the album's key single, 'Salvation' out now.
Ocean Alley have captivated audiences around the world with their infectious melody lines and memorable blend of psychedelic-surf-rock, amassing over 40 million streams online and more than 600,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Their acclaimed second album Chiaroscuro debuted at #15 on the ARIA Chart in Australia, and was awarded the coveted triple j Feature Album, with the station proclaiming "Ocean Alley have surfed their way to 'Next Big Thing' status."
Hailing from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the band – Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Nic Blom (bass), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar) and Tom O'Brien (drums) have taken their independent brand of sun-soaked psychedelic rock to the world in 2018.
Off the back of their sold out 7-date Australian tour in April & May 2018, Ocean Alley have received widespread praise for their mesmerising live performances, X-Press claiming "their live set was seamless, echoing their recorded music and enhanced by their sensual stage presence", Savage Thrills declaring "they can't seem to set a foot wrong" and The Music suggesting "…would be wise to follow these boys into the wild and windy surf".
Going on to headline across the USA and Canada in May & June, the band then played a memorable sunset slot at Splendour In The Grass in July. Currently on the road across Europe and the UK, they will return home for a run of Australian headline shows in October before returning to North America to support Tash Sultana in November.

By Courtney Tanner
Nearly every parent who spoke Monday night offered a different reason for why they want their kids to start school at a later time.
One mom joked that "it's sheer hell" trying to get her sleepy twin boys — freshmen at West High School in downtown Salt Lake City — out of bed at 6 a.m. each day. A dad pointed to his 15-year-old daughter in the audience, saying he thinks she'd do better in geography if she was not trying to understand the complexity of borders so early in the morning. And another mom said her teenager has anxiety and believes getting more rest would "make a big difference" for her mental health.
"I just think it helps in so many ways," added parent Dave Stroud. "I support it."
For 80 minutes, more jumped in line, filling the aisles of the school auditorium in front of the microphones to add their backing for the idea.
The public forum was the first in a "listening tour" hosted this week by the board of education for Salt Lake City School District. The point was to get feedback on the proposed plans to push back the start times at the district's three high schools: West, East and Highland. And, at least so far, the response has been positive.
"I think it's a great idea," said mom Denet Barnitz. "Even 10 or 15 minutes would make a difference."
Members of the school board have drafted five possible plans for adjusting start times. The changes range from no shift at all to 15 minutes, 30 minutes and an hour difference. Currently, the high schools in the district start at 7:45 a.m.
The board has talked about the possibility of implementing late-start on and off for at least five years. This most recent push began in the fall and appears to have the most momentum yet.
"They're trying to consider it from all angles," said district spokeswoman Yándary Chatwin.
Only one other district in the state has changed its start times to later in the morning — Logan City School District in northern Utah — which adjusted them in 2017 so its high school would begin at 8:45 a.m., 30 minutes later than before. Most every other school in the state starts before 8 a.m.
Utah's education report cards are out. Here's how Salt Lake County high schools fared.
Utah releases school report cards — without letter grades — after computer glitches in standardized tests
Every senior at Utah's Monticello High got a diploma in 2019
Utah charter school enrollment dips for the 1st time in at least a decade
Utah's governor and tech leaders want every school to have a computer science class by 2022
The hope with pushing the first bell back is to give teenagers more time to sleep. Most research shows that later start times can reduce sleep deprivation in high school students, making them less likely to experience anxiety and depression. Those nationally that have implemented the delayed starts have also reported improved academic and athletic performance, according to one often cited study from the University of Washington.
However, changing the time at the high schools in Salt Lake City School District will require changes, too, to the schedules for 33 elementary and middle schools because of busing routes. The district calls that a "ripple effect" of the proposal.
Currently, most elementary and middle schools start some time between 7:45 a.m. and 8:40 a.m.
To implement the late start, district schools would be divided into two groups. Board members would decide on a start time for the first group. The second group would start 45 minutes later, which is the time it takes for a bus driver to finish one route and start another.
The school day is then six hours and 40 minutes, and end times would adjust accordingly.
A few at the Monday meeting, which had more than 40 parents and teachers attend, had reservations.
Amberly Croft has a kid each in high school and junior high and two kids in elementary school. If the changes are made, she believes her high schooler will just stay up later each night because she'll be able to sleep in longer.
Croft also doesn't believe the time differences — particularly starting 15 minutes later — will make much of a difference but it will disrupt everything else, including sports. Her oldest daughter plays soccer and, Croft fears, will miss either more class or more matches because other districts in the county aren't changing their times.
Another parent said she worries about students who take harder class loads, including International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement classes, and how starting later might push homework even longer into the night. "What are the trade-offs?" she asked.
"I feel like I can barely stay up as late as they need to already," added mom Allyson Maughan, whose eighth and 12th graders attend West High.
Board members sat at the front of the auditorium listening to the comments and providing answers when they could. A few young kids in the audience dozed off in their seats.
"There are a lot of moving parts," acknowledged board member Samuel Hanson.
When some asked if the proposed schedules could still be adjusted, board member Kristi Swett added that so far, this has been a "philosophical question" but having the drafts helps make it easier to talk about.
Ronnie Stroud, who is 15 and a sophomore at West High, said she likes the plans. She usually falls asleep at 10 or 11 p.m. and said it's difficult to wake up at 6 a.m. to get ready for class.
"It's hard to wake your brain up," she said. "I'm usually late to school and miss out on the first few minutes of classes."
West High has already tested late-starts on Mondays with school beginning at 9:30 a.m. Stroud said that has made a noticeable difference with her attention and success.
Jenny Nicholas, who teaches at West, joked that some of her students are comatose in the morning and more often are late to class. "I wonder if we're starting them up for failure by asking them to be there before they can succeed," she added.
The board commissioned Y2 Analytics, a Utah-based market research firm, to study the idea of changing school start times. Most parents — 80% — supported the idea.
But families that fall in lower income brackets or are minorities were less likely to back the idea. Many cited their jobs and child care as the biggest hurdles. Some also worried about the impact on students who contribute to their family finances by working after-school jobs.
"The board is trying to be mindful of those who are opposed and the pretty big issues they face," Chatwin said.
Board members hope to make a decision by spring. There will be three more listening sessions in the community this week:
Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020, at 6 p.m. at Northwest Middle School.
Friday, Jan. 17, 2020, at 6 p.m. at Hillside Middle School.
Saturday, Jan. 18, 2020, at 10 a.m. at the Glendale Public Library.
