The Ever-Evolving Po-Boy
By: Kim Ranjbar
Less than 10 years ago, it was not difficult to recognize an authentic New Orleans po-boy. Fillings ranged from sloppy roast beef and debris with gravy to fried shrimp, catfish, oyster or soft-shell crab. There's hot sausage po-boys (Patton, of course), hamburger po-boys and even French fry po-boys smothered in brown gravy, all dressed with mayo or butter, lettuce, tomatoes and even the hotly debated sliced pickles nestled in a Leidenheimer or Dong Phuong bun.
But now it's time to take another look. Some of the po-boy's evolution can be credited to the culinary genius and competition that has erupted over the past nine years at the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, held this year on Sunday, November 22. Most of the mouth-watering ingenuity we see today is due to talented chefs offering their take on the world-famous po-boy, incorporating all of the delicious ingredients we in Louisiana have long had right at our fingertips.
One of my favorite po-boy incarnations is the Breaux Bridge Benedict Po-Boy at Stanley. Located on a corner of Jackson Square on Chartres Street, Stanley has been a go-to breakfast and lunch spot for tourists roaming the French Quarter for over five years now. Regardless of its age, this sandwich is certainly not served wrapped in butcher paper. Instead, expect an open-faced presentation with poached eggs perched atop a patty of house-made boudin, Chisesi ham, American cheese and Leidenheimer French bread draped with a tangy Hollandaise sauce.
Just as folks were beginning to get used to the idea of an eggs Benedict po-boy, along came local chef Camille Boudreaux and his wife, April, with Killer Po-Boys, offering a unique perspective on the time-honored sandwich. Boudreaux and his wife opened this insanely popular kitchen installation inside the Erin Rose bar in late 2012, and are preparing to open a second location all their very own on Dauphine Street. There, you can try everything from a seared Gulf shrimp po-boy with marinated veggies to a grass-fed meatloaf po-boy, but recently what's made me all agog is their roasted sweet potato po-boy with black-eyed pea and pecan spread, pickled shallots and wilted greens. Who knew vegetables could be so delicious?
All the way across town in Mid-City, chef/owner Micheal Gullotta of MoPho (formerly the sous chef at John Besh's flagship Restaurant August) has blurred the lines between Vietnamese and Creole cuisine. Though formally known as banh mi, New Orleanians have long been calling these inexpensive yet delicious sandwiches Vietnamese po-boys, and MoPho is no exception, featuring special "po-boy" creations that combine the best of both worlds. One popular po-boy manifestation on their menu is the Cast Iron Tofu with black bean mayo, pickled vegetables, jalapenos, fresh Vietnamese herbs like basil and mint and chicken liver pâté.
There's another newcomer to Mid-City dubbed Bevi Seafood Co., owned and operated by native New Orleanian Justin LeBlanc, a chef who worked in the kitchen at Peristyle. With a name like Bevi Seafood Co., you'd likely expect me to wax poetic about their quality Louisiana-sourced seafood po-boys, but the sandwich that really has me all aflutter is their Messi Swine, piled high with crispy pork belly, cochon de lait (smoked suckling pig), Chisesi ham and bacon fat mayonnaise.
With succulent sandwiches like these available nowadays, we can't wait to see what the chefs create at the 2015 Oak Street Po-Boy Festival.

Return of the Reuben
Don't start. Reubens have never actually left the New Orleans restaurant scene, it just seems like they're popping up on menus everywhere recently and not only because St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. One can theorize that as a side effect of chefs' renewed interest in making everything themselves, from baking their own table bread to curing their own meats, the Reuben has returned in force to flaunt that particularly tasty...

Commons: 28 November 1977
Volume 940: debated on Monday 28 November 1977
Mr. Grist
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will ensure that all persons issued with a behind-the-ear hearing aid are made aware of the use of the T adjustment in connection with the coil induction system of listening to television broadcasts.
Mr. Alfred Morris
Not all users of an aid can benefit from a loop system or will wish to avail themselves of it. Advice on the use of the "T" position is, therefore, a matter best left to the discretion of staff at hearing aid centres. As a matter of practice, information is contained in the leaflet issued with the aid and also in the revised version of my Department's booklet "General Guidance for Hearing Aid Users" given to patients newly fitted with a hearing aid. The social worker for the deaf and voluntary organisations will usually be able to offer further advice. As the booklet stresses, a loop system should be fitted to a radio or television set only by a qualified service engineer.
Mr. Weitzman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many persons have received hearing aids under National Health Service arrangements; and whether he is satisfied that the arrangements made are satisfactory.
Figures of total issues since 1948 are not available, but my hon. Friend may like to know that during 1976 approximately 92,000 hearing aids were issued to new patients in England. The issue of hearing aids is proceeding as fast as the resources of individual hearing aid centres allow.

Now those veterans have some relief in sight thanks in part to two Colorado legislators. U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R) recently introduced legislation to the US House that would help veterans receive mental health care through the VA is the need is "urgent." At the same time, U.S. Senator Michael Bennett (D) has joined other Democrats in introducing a bill to the Senate that would expand access to mental care for veterans.
The two pieces of legislation come on the heels of a Veterans Affairs Committee meeting in March where VA Secretary David Shulkin pointed out that hundreds of thousands of veterans leave with these "bad papers," and have much more trouble finding adequate mental health care. Bad papers, more formally known as an "other than honorable" discharge, are somewhere between an honorable and dishonorable discharge and are used in the case of troubled troops.
Previously bad papers restricted access to health care options, but the VA Secretary wants to expand access for veterans with bad papers. "We are going to go, and we are going to start providing mental health care for those that are other than honorably discharged for urgent mental health," Shulkin said. Shulkin cited an estimate directly from the VA that 20 veterans take their lives daily to help urge action.
Both Bennet and Coffman have publicly lauded Shulkin for the new found focus on veterans after several troubling years for the administration. Shulkin has stated that he wants to work with Congress to help find solutions for the troubled program, including help from Coffman who is himself a member of the House Veterans Committee and a veteran himself.
Groups like the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America also praised Shulkin, stating the help for bad paper veterans if long overdue. For now, veterans watch dog groups are tracking the legislation as it makes it was through the legislative body and committees.

WSJ misunderstands why T-SPLOST was defeated
Inaccurate labelling is the reason T-SPLOST was defeated, along with Atlanta is not all of Georgia, but the Wall Street Journal doesn't understand that.
Cameron McWhirter wrote for the Wall Street Journal 1 August 2012, Tea Party Ties Up Tax to Ease Atlanta Traffic
ATLANTA—Money and heavyweight endorsements don't secure an election — especially when you propose higher taxes in a deeply conservative state with a robust tea-party movement.
A plan for a transportation sales tax was endorsed by Georgia's Republican governor and the Democratic mayor of the state's largest city. It was backed by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the area's top businesses. It was pushed by top political consultants funded by more than $8 million in corporate and other donations.
Those against the plan were a loose coalition of tea-party activists, some environmentalists and a local branch of the NAACP. Their total raised? About $15,000.
But David slew Goliath.
That's lazy reporting. Those "some environmentalists" included the Georgia Sierra Club, an organization which reportedly has more members than the state Democratic Party. And that's just in Atlanta.
Opponents in our region included Democrat Ashley Paulk, who was on the T-SPLOST executive committee and is the current Chairman of the Lowndes County Commission, Democrat Gretchen Quarterman, who is the Chairman of the Lowndes County Democratic Party (LCDP) and is running for Chairman of the Lowndes County Commission, as well as Nolen Cox, Chairman of the Lowndes County Republican Party (LCRP), and Roy Taylor, LRCP First Vice Chair and well-known Tea Party activist, along with a wide range of other opponents.
Look at the difference between that Region 11 T-SPLOST vote map and this map of the Atlanta Metro T-SPLOST vote. Atlanta metro is clearly centered around Atlanta. Region 11 isn't an economic region: the vote was split right down the middle between No on the east and west and Yes in between.
Region 11 throws together three population centers: Lowndes, Tift, and Ware Counties, with their largest cities Valdosta, Tifton, and Waycross. Lowndes and Tift are at least connected by I-75, and they and most of the ones around them voted against (Ben Hill, Turner, Berrien, Cook, Lanier, Echols, and Brooks). Ware County and all the counties east of it (Pierce, Brantley, and Charlton) voted against. In between there's a complete barrier of counties that voted for T-SPLOST (Irwin, Coffee, Bacon, Atkinson, and Clinch). Those No counties completely separate the eastern Ware County group from the western Lowndes-Tift group.
The perception around here is that T-SPLOST was made up to affect metro Atlanta, and the rest of the regions were
thrown together just so there would be regions to pretend that it had something to do with the whole state. The WSJ (and the AJC) reinforces that impression when it only reports about Atlanta Metro: the WSJ article doesn't even report on any T-SPLOST vote results outside of the Atlanta region.
Few people believed the scare tactics that T-SPLOST was essential and there would be no Plan B. Many of the projects in Region 11 were unnecessary at best, some apparently didn't even need new funding.
Yes we can make a Plan B. How about we do something to deal with sprawl and to get our unemployed to work, like maybe public transportation?
And the article concludes:
Joseph Crespino, an historian at Emory University and an expert on southern conservatism, said the vote reflected deep voter distrust.
"These [voters] are people who are suspicious of public officials using their money wisely," he said.
Lots of Georgians including liberals and independents, are suspicious of the Georgia Department of Transportation using their money wisely, and for good reason. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) jumped up costs for three Region 11 projects by 50%, 70%, and 131.5% giving no reason for that to the public. GDOT left two Interstate highway projects on the Region 11 T-SPLOST list even though Georgia gets $2 billion in federal funding for such projects. GDOT that apparently requires Lowndes County to approve an over-budget bid to do "value renegotiation". GDOT that wouldn't even consider federal high-speed rail funds. I could delve into GDOT's internal budgetary problems, but probably you get the point already.
Indeed, there's a T-SPLOST trust problem, largely because there's a GDOT trust problem. And a huge part of that trust problem is exactly treating Atlanta like it's all that matters, for public transportation and for everything else. Why should people in south Georgia vote for a tax that was designed to benefit Atlanta and cede local control over it in our cobbled-up region to Atlanta?
How about a state-wide transportation strategy? How about passenger rail from Atlanta to Valdosta and Savannah and on to Orlando and Jacksonville? How about a Valdosta metro bus and commuter rail system? How about improvements to the Valdosta airport? How about high speed rail from Atlanta to DC? Georgia would already be working on that if not for GDOT.
WSJ quotes someone as saying,
...many saw the road projects as government aid programs "for construction companies and real estate moguls," he said.
Around here that perception is not limited to people of any particular politics, because there's so much evidence that it's true. The problem is not government. The problem is that T-SPLOST was pushed by corporate interests at the expense of the people of Georgia. That is the source of mistrust.
The solution is to elect legislators who will represent the people, not corporations.

Jodrell Bank named a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Posted by: Joanna Jones
Education | Leisure & Tourism | North West | Technology
Mark II and Lovell Telescopes (Image: Ian Morison)
Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire has been named as the UK's newest UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The observatory becomes the UK's 32nd site to be added to the prestigious list, which includes Stonehenge, The Great Wall of China, the Sydney Opera House and the Acropolis.
Jodrell Bank, owned by the University of Manchester, is famous as the home of the Lovell Telescope, the world's third largest steerable radio telescope. Completed in 1957, the dish was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world until 1973 and was the catalyst for the construction of many other large scale satellite dishes.
The Lovell Telescope's first act was to track the Soviet Union's Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite. Today, Jodrell operates the UK's national e-MERLIN radio telescope and hosts the global headquarters of the Square Kilometre Array, a radio telescope project that will build the world's largest telescope, comprised of a network of instruments sited in South Africa and Australia.
The addition of Jodrell Bank to the UNESCO World Heritage List is in recognition of its outstanding scientific heritage, its work in tracking spacecraft in the early space race, and its research into quasars, pulsars and gravitational lenses. The site has evidence of every stage of the history of radio astronomy, from its emergence as a new science in the 1940s through to the present day.
Teresa Anderson, Director of Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre said: "This is wonderful news and a great day in the history of Jodrell Bank. It honours the pioneering work of Sir Bernard Lovell and the early scientists here, together with the world-leading research that continues to this day.
"Receiving this recognition will help us tell their story and the story of the communities connected to the site both across the UK and worldwide."
Professor Michael Garrett, Director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics and Sir Bernard Lovell Chair of Astrophysics, has said: "We're very proud that the contribution of the Observatory and its staff, have been recognized at the very highest level.
"We continue to explore the Universe with e-MERLIN and our participation in the European VLBI Network, and we look forward to playing a major role in the scientific exploitation of the Square Kilometre Array."

Over 10,000 workers at state-owned textile factories in Egypt's industrial city Mahalla struck and staged a sit-in on Monday of this week.
They are demanding the payment of promised bonuses and the new government sanctioned monthly minimum wage of £105. The monthly wage of thousands of Mahalla workers is £44.
Workers also called for the sacking of Fouad Abdel-Alim, the boss of the firm that oversees all state-owned textile factories.
They face a state clampdown on protests. The military regime has declared that a new presidential election will be held before April. Left nationalist Hamdeen Sabahi has announced he will stand.
Sabahi stood for president in 2012 in the first election after the fall of former dictator Hosni Mubarak.
He came third behind the eventual winner, Mohamed Mursi, and Ahmed Shafiq, who was prime minister under Mubarak.
The newly promoted Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, leader of the present regime, is expected to stand.

SANAA: Abdullah Sarhan laments having to sell his furniture to feed his family, but he is only one of thousands in Yemen struggling since rebels stopped paying salaries two months ago.
The situation gets worse by the day for the inhabitants of Sanaa, controlled by the Houthi rebels since September 2014 and subjected to 19 months of air strikes and a blockade by a pro-government Arab coalition. "I had to sell my furniture to put food on the table for my family and ensure that my two children can continue going to school," said Sarhan.
The finances of employees like Sarhan, and those who are retired, deteriorated further in September, when the UN-recognized government transferred the central bank to Aden, the southern city that serves as a temporary capital. President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi sacked the bank's governor and relocated it to the port city after accusing the Iran-backed Huthis of diverting funds from foreign reserves.
A UN report revealed in August said the Huthis were diverting about $100 million from the central bank per month, and that the foreign reserves had dwindled to $1.3 billion from about $4 billion in November 2014.
The measure prompted an immediate halt in salaries payment in Sanaa and other regions under the control of the Shiite Huthis and their allies of renegade troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. "How can we continue paying rent if we don't have enough to eat," asked Ibrahim Ahmed, who was forced to move his family to live with his parents in the countryside.
Professor Jamil Aoun said he had to abandon lecturing at Sanaa University and work in a brick factory. "We have to earn our living," he explained. His colleague Abdullah al-Muammar al-Hakimi resorted to selling qat, the mild narcotic leaf popular in the Arabian Peninsula country. "Selling qat… is more honorable than begging or having people's blood on one's hands," Hakimi wrote in a post on Facebook announcing his decision to quit teaching.
The suspension of salaries is the latest sign of economic deterioration in Yemen, which was already the poorest Arab country before the deadly conflict escalated in March 2015 with the intervention of the Saudi-led coalition.
"It is the most dangerous measure as it affects the daily lives of seven to eight million Yemenis," who live in rebel-controlled regions, said Mustapha Nasser, head of the Sanaa-based Studies and Economic Media Centre. "It is a sign of a total economic collapse," he warned, urging the government of Hadi and the rebels to address the situation.
Nasser pointed out that liquidity was a problem even before the relocation of the central bank. "Even before this decision was taken, the Huthis were not able to pay salaries as they did in the past," he said. Last month the insurgents launched a fund-raising campaign aimed at raising funds from the public to cover for the central bank.
But despite images of people queuing to offer their own money, the rebels have so far only collected about eight billion riyals ($32 million), a fraction of the 75 billion riyals needed to pay two months' of salaries, said Nasser.
Economist Saeed Abdulmomen warned the lack of an alternative to honor financial commitments could lead to "total chaos". "An inevitable disaster is on the horizon," he said. The conflict in Yemen has killed nearly 6,900 people and wounded about 35,000 since it broke out in March 2015, according to the United Nations.
An additional three million people have been displaced while millions more need food aid. The World Food Program on Tuesday warned of hunger in Yemen, which already had one of the world's highest levels of malnutrition before the war. "Hunger is increasing every day and people have exhausted all their survival strategies. Millions of people cannot survive without external assistance," said WFP regional director Muhammad Hadi.

Desire and Consumerism Unpicked in Wilson Oryema's New Book
Photography by Wilson Oryema
A powerful new book of poems and short stories by model and artist Wilson Oryema asks us to rethink our cycles of desire
TextStevie Mackenzie-Smith
When Wilson Oryema, the artist, activist, model and muse to Grace Wales Bonner started taking photographs of bags of rubbish left on the street, it was the genesis for a larger exploration of the ways in which we want and consume. WAIT, his first book of poems, aphorisms and short stories, considers consumerism in all its forms – from physical objects to ideas and technology.
As a model, Oryema partakes in the creation of beautiful imagery designed to whet the appetite of consumers; he was streetcast in Calvin Klein's A/W18 campaign alongside Frank Ocean, Kate Moss and Zoë Kravitz. But he's also challenging us – both as individuals and industries (including the fashion world) to rethink what it means to constantly long for stuff.
Nonetheless, he's quick to point out that this isn't about chastising anyone for their (inevitable) habits: "This isn't about speaking down on consuming," Oryema explains, "I think consuming is very important. But it's about careful consumption; enjoying the things you have, and being careful in how you approach or consume them."
He's previously held exhibitions of his photographic work at Doomed Gallery in Dalston, London, but this is the first time Oryema's created a tangible object – a neat chalk-coloured paperback at eight inches tall – with which to start conversations. His ambitions are far-reaching: "Because of its size it can fit in pockets, or sit in classrooms." We chatted with Wilson Oryema about longing, questioning and changing the world with small actions.
On the act of consuming…
"I'd been looking at how people leave out their trash and came to question whether the relationship we have with objects is healthy, or whether we're over-consuming to our detriment. Obviously it's important to think about how this affects the environment, but we also consume ideologies without questioning them, like advertising, and they can subconsciously affect our behaviour. With WAIT, I wanted to cover a broad spectrum of different ways of consuming."
On tensions with the fashion industry...
"If we look at any industry – it could be fashion, food or technology – or place where items are mass-produced, there are issues that need to be improved. So I wouldn't single out the fashion industry. Sometimes the best way to understand a place is to be inside it, understand the processes allowing it to work, and ask, how can I have an impact and create a positive change?"
On powering through...
"I think as long as I'm alive, I can still make a change. But when you think of a problem as a whole, it can really create fear and incapacitate you. Instead you can ask 'What's the thing I can do today?' and break things down into manageable steps – maybe that's writing a book, or giving talks, or collaborating with someone. There's a particular poem in this book – "Improvement usually comes step by step / Not necessarily in large spurts" – and I've had to really internalise that lesson myself. It's taken quite some time, but it's about thinking globally, acting locally. It's in everyone's doing to bring about change, bit by bit."
On changing habits…
"As part of the book's research I ended up reading about beached whales with stomachs full of plastic bags. That really challenged me to look at my own personal habits; WAIT has definitely changed my relationship with plastic, and how often I buy water bottles or single-use items. I'm also upcycling as well as recycling, so actually reusing the items in various ways."
On finding creative inspiration anywhere...
"I don't look at art as separate from anything else – I like to reach into other spaces. I like Elon Musk for his resilience and approach to problems. What he's done has helped me to realise what you can achieve with your time. I feel like I have a lot more I can do with my mine, for sure. Anything by Harley Weir is amazing, and filmmaker Sean Vegezzi's recent film DMYCC, as well as his exhibition at Roaming Projects in Hackney, London really had an impact on me. Just seeing work like that expands the realms of possibility for everyone else."
On carving out time…
"In order to get things done we really have to make priorities. I've never done anything like this before, so to make WAIT happen, I took a step back from everything, from modelling to seeing friends, to focus on making it the best it could be. Of course it's good to socialise, but sometimes if you overdo it it's to the detriment of other aspects in your life.
"I actually expected it to be a lot harder, but it was a pretty organic creation process. I didn't want to over-curate it, I allowed life to happen, and reacted what happened around me, whether it was a conversation or something on the street."
WAIT by Wilson Oryema is out now.

Mastering practices, guidelines, and life skills like reasonable personal boundaries with family and ways to enforce them, relationship principles, and healthful trauma and stress handling techniques, will immensely boost the prospects of sustained rehabilitation with minimal to no relapses.
Our specialists will advise you on these necessary techniques so we can ensure the greatest prospects for a sustained recovery.
To manage the obstacles you can possibly be faced with, we'll be here supplying you with powerful plans for action and methods all throughout and beyond your program. We'd love to discuss your personal needs and create a plan for your recovery. To address alcohol or drug addiction, our specialists use the most cutting-edge substance addiction recovery programs.
For those that have circumstances where you are able to, because there are many that can't since they just are not in a position financially to do so, we advise you to do so to be in a longer drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. What's usually required for long-term results? More extensive drug and/or alcohol addiction rehabilitations encourage change in a more thorough way and these assist patients to completely change their life. What is customarily found in lasting rehabilitations from addiction to alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription drugs are: inpatient recovery, outpatient recovery, consistent rehabilitation at home away from the local facility, and detoxifying.
Often, substance abuse occurs simultaneously with mental health issues and/or trauma that are contributing to the dependency. Drug and alcohol abuse is a debilitating condition that changes the mind as well as the physical body. Since this is the case, our trained specialists need to address the two parts of recovery. Effective addiction treatment requires a big change of lifestyle and outlook. Unless we treat and deal with any core reasons for addiction, there is not much likelihood for long lasting recovery.
There are many drug and/or alcohol abuse treatments are for even 90 days. It is correct that there are 30 day substance abuse regimens, but many last for a longer period, because everyone is different. Four to six month alcohol or drug rehabilitations generally tend to to have the most success. Many times, when people think of drug/alcohol addiction treatment, they expect a 1 month regimen. However, it varies by recovery facility.


A new European project called 'Nanomembranes against Global Warming' (NanoGLOWA) is attempting to find a new way of capturing CO2 emissions from power plants with the help of nanotechnology. Nanostructured membranes could reduce carbon capture's energy consumption and costs, making it more attractive than current technology (earlier post). The €12 million NanoGLOWA project receives the bulk of its funding from the European Commission, and unites 26 organisations from 14 EU member states.
Europe produces one gigaton of carbon dioxide annually and wafts it into the atmosphere. Around one-third of this stems from fossil-fuelled power plants. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) could reduce those emissions by up to 90%. The idea is to store the carbon thus captured underground in, for example, empty gas fields and aquifers.
Biopact follows developments in CCS technology because it allows for the creation of radically carbon-negative bioenergy and biofuels (more here, here and here, and references in these texts).
Existing carbon capture methods include absorption and non-selective cooling. During the absorption process, flue gasses - mainly consisting of nitrogen, water, dust particles and, of course, CO2 - flow through several baths in which the carbon dioxide is bound with amines. However, this 'scrubbing' technology is far from being energy- or cost-effective, as it can consume up to 25% of the energy actually produced, and large installations as well as chemicals are needed, says the NanoGLOWA team.
CO2 separation through membranes, on the other hand, would consume only up to 8% of the energy produced, and bring down installation costs. However, suitable membranes must first be developed (interesting flash presentation of current production methods).
The NanoGLOWA project is comprehensive in scope. It will develop, produce, and integrate nano-engineered membranes in power plants and test their carbon capturing effectiveness (project overview, schematic, click to enlarge).
While polymeric membranes are cheap, they seem to dilate when brought into contact with CO2 at higher pressure, so that selectivity and hence efficacy may be significantly reduced. Carbon membranes, on the other hand, are well developed and have good selectivity, says the NanoGLOWA team, but they may be contaminated by the power station's flue gasses.
Finally, ceramic membranes are very stable and have great longevity as they respond well to extreme conditions such as high temperatures. After development in academic laboratories, the membranes will be tested in pilot power plants in the fifth and final year of the project (2011).
Membrane processes are characterized by the fact that a feed stream is divided into two streams, which are called the retentate stream and the permeate stream. Either of these streams can be the 'product' of the process. The membrane itself is the central part of every process and can be seen as a filter between two phases. The actual separation is achieved because transport of one component through the membrane is faster than the other component(s).
The actual performance of a membrane is determined by two different factors, namely its permeability and selectivity. The permeability is defined as the volume of gas flowing through the membrane per unit of area and time. The selectivity, also known as the separation factor, is determined by the difference in permeability of the components of interest. If, for instance, the permeability of component A is three times higher than component B, the permeate stream contains three times more of component A and the selectivity from A over B is 3.
The permeability of gases and therefore selectivity between different gasses depends strongly on the gas and type of material used for the membrane. Membranes can be constructed from different starting materials. The two main classes in membrane science are organic membranes (e.g. plastics, carbon) and inorganic membranes (ceramics). Both classes of material are subject of investigation in NanoGLOWA.
The NanoGLOWA project unites 26 organisations, including six universities and five power plant operators, as well as industry and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from 14 European countries. The project receives €7 million in funding from the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme. Total costs amount to €12.5 million.

France's Total Petrochemicals and Belgium's Galactic have announced the signature of an agreement for the creation of a joint venture to develop a production technology for polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastics made from renewable biomass.
The project entails the construction of a pilot plant capable of producing 1,500 tonnes per year of PLA using a clean, innovative and competitive technology, to be developed by both partners. Based on the Galactic Escanaffles site, near Tournai (in Belgium's 'Agrifood Valley'), the plant is scheduled to come on stream in 2009.
The research and development phase, which will start at the same time as its construction, should last 4 to 5 years. Called Futerro, the new company will benefit from the support of the Total Petrochemicals Research Centre in Feluy. The ambitious research project is made possible by the financial support of the Walloon Region within the framework of the competitive hubs of the Walloon Marshall Plan.
Total Petrochemicals' objective with this PLA development project is to fulfil a growing demand for biodegradable and renewable plastics.
For Galactic, this new development will mean new outlets for lactic acid by turning it into feedstock for a new green chemistry.
Galactic is a Belgian company created in 1994 part of the Finasucre group - one of the top ten sugar producers - owning sugar refineries in Australia (Bundaberg Sugar), Belgium (Frasnes & Moerbeek) and Africa (Compagnie Sucrière). The Finasucre group represents an annual sugar production of 1.3 million tons.
Established with an initial production capacity of 1,500 tons of lactic acid and lactates, Galactic rapidly expanded its production to more than 18,000 tons today.

Highlighting the need to decentralise solid waste management, a study conducted by the SCMS Group's Centre for Socio-Economic Research in Kochi, a city of 1.5 million in India's southern Kerala state, found that the majority of respondents in the city preferred setting up community biogas plants for waste treatment.
Waste management is a huge problem in most of the developing world's rapidly growing cities. A lack of waste treatment technologies and policies often results in a very tangible health risk to the population. Organising integrated waste management requires an insight into how people deal with household waste. Researchers from the SCMS therefor conducted their survey, with the objective to analyse the best financial support and intervention strategies, and to see how different social classes should be approached. Other developing world cities could benefit from similar social science approaches to discover how waste management should be organised most effectively (also have a look at the enormous waste problem in Africa's second largest city, Kinshasa, and its choice for biogas - earlier post).
The basic survey was conducted in 832 households in 15 wards. The areas included Elamakkara North, Thrikkanarvattom, Karukappilli, Kaloor South, Kathrikadavu, Elamkulam, Thammanam, Kadavanthra, Vaduthala East, Puthukkalavattom, Edapally, Devankulangara, Vennala, Chalikkavattom and Thevara (map, click to enlarge).
It was found that 488 households preferred biogas plants while 186 voted for vermi-compost units. Interestingly, 19 per cent of the respondents said that they did not want assistance for installation of biogas or vermi-compost units, said Radha Thevannoor, project co-ordinator and director of the SCMS School of Technology and Management.
Preference for biogas plant installation was found high among people in the income category of Rs 5,000 (€89/$126) and below and those in the category between Rs5,000 and Rs15,000.
Pointing towards the public perception on the feasibility of various intervention strategies on waste disposal, Thevannoor said that the majority preferred financial aid rather than technical help from the part of the Government.
N. Rajagopal and Poornima Narayan, research team members, said that 45.9 per cent respondents depended on organised groups for waste disposal while 27.6 per cent dumped the waste in Corporation bins.
The study found that waste generated from organic matter/ vegetables constituted 31 percent of the total waste followed by garden waste with 20 percent. Plastic and rubber constituted 12 per cent of the total waste.
The researchers observed that there was no system of separating organic, inorganic and recyclable waste at the household level.
Residents also supported Kudumbasree units engaged in waste collection. Lack of space for setting up bio-gas plants was found in apartments in the city.
Recommending that financial intervention strategies on waste management should be primarily targeted at middle and lower income categories, the team suggested setting up model community biogas plants in areas coming under the Kochi Corporation, which is responsible for waste treatment.

O2Diesel Corporation, a developer of clean burning renewable ethanol-diesel fuel blends, announced today that it has been included in the fiscal year 2008 Defense Appropriations bill to continue and expand existing O2Diesel O28 demonstration projects to develop clean, renewable alternative diesel fuels at Nellis AFB and Air National Guard Facilities in Nevada. The DOD Appropriations bill is pending consideration by the full Senate, and must then be reconciled with the House Defense Appropriations bill in conference.
O2Diesel has been under contract to develop a new fuel for the Department of Defense that will be composed of at least 20% renewable sources including the company's patented and proprietary biomass-derived stabilizing additive, and renewable ethanol. This fuel, when finalized, will help DOD facilities meet local air quality compliance requirements and strengthen its commitment to reducing the USA's dependency on foreign oil imports.
Rigorous testing of the new biofuel is currently underway at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, a nationally recognized research facility. The research will be followed by an expanded in-use fleet demonstration at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas where the company's O2Diesel(TM) fuel has been running successfully for the past 38 months.
Since 2002, the U.S. Congress earmarked almost $5 million in funds for a US Air Force comprehensive research project that evaluates O2Diesel as a fuel for non-tactical military vehicles and other diesel-powered equipment such as electric generators. Nellis Air Force Base and the Nevada Air National Guard became the first military users of O2Diesel in demonstrations with their fleets. In addition, O2Diesel is developing a new environmentally-friendly fuel for DoD that will contain at least 20% renewable content, including O2Diesel's proprietary additive.
In order to gain acceptance in the marketplace, it is necessary for motor fuels to meet a consensus-based fuel specification through organizations such as the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) and the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB). O2Diesel is a leading participant in setting specifications ethanol diesel fuels.
Three leading palm oil market analysts each offer a substantially different medium term outlook for the commodity. These differences are the result of uncertainties about biofuel subsidies in the US, demand in Asia, the development of other vegetable oil markets and the outlook for crude oil.
Vegetable oils are increasingly used in biofuels as crude oil prices have tripled to a record in five years. US farmers have planted more corn to meet demand for ethanol, pushing sowings of soybeans to a 12-year low. Malaysia and Indonesia account for about 90 percent of palm oil output, the most competitive vegetable oil. Palm oil on the Malaysian Derivatives Exchange, which trades the global benchmark, touched a record 2,764 ringgit on June 6 and has averaged 59 percent more since January than a year ago. The most active contract gained 1.4 percent to 2,606 ringgit on Friday. Soybean oil, palm oil's main competitor, reached a 23-year high of 40.49 cents on Tuesday.
Dorab Mistry, a director at Godrej International, thinks palm oil futures in Malaysia may advance as much as 15 percent during the next year because of rising demand for biofuels and a shortfall in supplies of other vegetable oils. Prices might climb to up to 3,000 ringgit, or $870, a ton in the year ending Sept. 30, 2008, Mistry said during a conference in Goa. Earlier this year, he had predicted that prices would surpass 2,500 ringgit this year. Mistry has traded vegetable oils since 1976.
Demand for vegetable oils in the year to September 2008 may rise by 5 million tons, while supply may increase by 3.9 million tons, Mistry thinks. This incremental demand includes two million tons for biofuels and three million for food purposes.
For his part, James Fry, managing director of London-based LMC International and a leading gobal palm oil market analyst, told reporters at a conference in India that palm oil prices could ease from January if the United States cuts incentives it gives to biofuel producers.
Finally, according to Thomas Mielke, chief editor of Oil World, a trade publication, global palm oil production may rise to a record 41 million tons in the year to September 2008, from a probable 37.38 million tons this year, as crops recover from the dry season in Malaysia and Indonesia. He said he expected prices to trade between 2,300 and 2,600 ringgit in the next 12 months.
Mielke thinks palm oil can partly fill the gap created by insufficient production growth in soybeans, canola and sunflower.
International Herald Tribune: Price of palm oil predicted to leap - September 24, 2007.
Reuters: Palm prices seen falling if U.S. cuts biofuel subsidy - September 23, 2007.
At last, a mainstream publication has begun to understand the logic behind the Biopact. Writing for the New York Times, Jerry Garrett says what we have been saying all along: why should the US and the EU heavily subsidize and protect their own inefficient biofuels that are too costly to be competitive, that do not reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that rely on food crops, while down South there are huge countries in need for development with an abundance of resources making it possible to produce highly efficient biofuels that substantially recude emissions, that don't rely on food crops, that are competitive with oil (very much so at current prices) and that may bring jobs and rural development to the poorest?
Corn ethanol: 0-3 percent greenhouse gas emission reduction.
Sugar cane ethanol: 50-70 percent reduction.
Which form of ethanol production is the United States government (and its taxpayers) subsidizing? Corn, of course.
Which form of ethanol production does the United States government levy a 53-cents-a-gallon import tariff on? Sugar cane, naturally.
And which form of ethanol production is under-funded, under-researched, and furthest from commercial production? The cleanest choice, obviously.
Corn ethanol is also the culprit that raises costs of corn-based food crops, because food production is being diverted to ethanol production. Corn ethanol production also affects the price of other food crops such as wheat, barley and soybeans because it is economically more attractive for farmers to switch from those crops to subsidized corn-raising. Corn ethanol is also only marginally less costly (some critics think it may even cost more) to manufacture than a gallon of gasoline.
Elsewhere in the OECD's scathing indictment of the corn ethanol industry, it called for an end to government subsidies to those growing corn for ethanol. It suggested the European Union act immediately to end "set-asides," wherein part of the available farm land is left fallow for a year or two, to let the soil rest, and to keep grain prices artificially high by keeping it in shorter supply. The set-asides make especially little sense this year, in view of a widespread drought, lower yield grain harvests, and a significant diversion of acreage planted for corn-as-food to ethanol production instead. The OECD said import tariffs on fuels, such as sugar cane ethanol, ought to be removed.
The report also suggested a ban on using food crops for ethanol production.
Ethanol isn't fussy; it can be made any number of ways. And should meaningful cellulosic ethanol production ever get off the ground, it could easily be made from inedible crops like switchgrass or even garbage.
So why is America, in particular, insisting on making ethanol from the worst possible choice? It seems that our government's only true interest in ethanol production lies in placating its agricultural lobby, which in turn is seeking to cash in on forced legislative mandates for domestic ethanol production.

Senegal has been one of the leading forces in West-Africa calling for the development of a biofuels industry aimed at improving the energy security of the region and at boosting its agricultural sector.
Last year president Abdoulaye Wade initiated a 'Green OPEC' of sorts, the PANPP (Pays Africains Non-Producteurs de Pétrole), a coalition of African countries aiming to implement a biofuels strategy in order to overcome the catastrophic reliance on ever more expensive oil. He explained the urgency of the need for a switch to biofuels for non-oil producing African countries. Wade has also established a wider network of allies, amongst them Brazil and India, who are interested in prodiving technological, policy and financial support for the fledgling biofuels industry.
Besides a strong set of policies and the need for access to biofuel technologies, attracting concrete investments is obviously the biggest requirement to kickstart a biofuel industry in the country. But Senegal has quite a few advantages making it an attractive destination for bioenergy investments: an abundance of natural resources (e.g. it only utilizes 18% of its potential arable land), relatively strong infrastructures, a large workforce, a stable investment climate and government, and a favorable geographical position (close to the EU and the US).
Jet fuel, diesel, butane and gasoline could be sold locally in sub-Saharan Africa and be exported to Europe and the United States, Nassar said in an interview after meeting Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade.
'The president wants to see more and more investments to Senegal. He believes in the refinery and biofuel,' Nassar said. Senegal has no crude oil production of its own, so the new refinery would import heavy crude from sub-Saharan Africa's top producers Nigeria and Angola, Nassar said.
Senegal's energy ministry announced plans last month for Iran's national oil company to sell Senegal one year's supply of Iranian crude on preferential terms, take a stake in Senegalese state oil refiner SAR and increase SAR's capacity to 3 million tonnes a year from 1.2 million tonnes.
Nassar said the project his consultancy was investigating would not conflict with the Iranian plans. 'This particular (Iranian) project is taking the old refinery and modernising it to be able to produce some different products,' he said. He said there would be limited overlap as the bulk of output from the new refinery would be for export, while SAR produces primarily for the local market.
Nassar said the total cost of the oil refinery and biofuels plant would be nearly $2 billion, but he did not say who would be funding it. Senegal produces ground nuts, sugar cane and jatropha, which have both been suggested as possible sources of biofuel.

Australia's Sterling Biofuels International Ltd announces that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to develop a palm oil mill in the Lahad Datu region (Sabah) where its biodiesel plant is located (map, click to enlarge). The same company earlier acquired a stake in a Malaysian company with a licence to develop a new palm plantation which will allow it to obtain feedstock supplies at less than half the current market price.
The development of the mill will be undertaken jointly with a local partner who will provide access to minimum quantities of raw material (oil palm fruit bunches) for the mill. This is required for the purposes of obtaining a mill licence.
Sterling, which will own 70% of the joint venture, will manage the construction and subsequent operations of the mill. During the initial phase, the mill's capacity will be 45 tonnes per hour but this will increase to 90 tonnes per hour after the second phase. When completed, the mill will have the capacity to supply 100% crude palm oil (CPO) which can be refined for use in the biodiesel plant.
The cost of developing the mill is expected to be funded through equity contributions from the joint venture partners as well as non-recourse debt. Sterling's 70% share of the equity contribution is estimated at $2.8 million. This is expected to be funded from Sterling's existing cash balances.
The time frames associated with the development of this palm oil mill have been designed to complement the development time frames associated with recently announced oil palm plantation development. The 24-30 month development timeframe for the mill fits in well with the 5-6 year development program for the oil palm plantation.
provide Sterling with a greater degree of feedstock price stability when assessing whether to increase its biodiesel production capacity from its existing 100,000 metric tonnes per annum.
Through a newly incorporated wholly owned Malaysian subsidiary, Sterling acquired 70% of the issued capital of UTE Power Sdn Bhd ("UTE") which is controlled by a company listed on the Malaysian MESDAQ market. UTE has been granted the right to develop 10,600 acres of fertile land owned by a state government body into an oil palm plantation. The development rights are for a period of 60 years with an option to renew for another 30 years.
Under the relevant agreement, UTE will pay to the state government body an agreed annual payment. In return, all proceeds from the plantation will belong to UTE. The first annual payment due on the date of execution of the agreement with the state government body has been paid.
The participation allowed Sterling Biofuels to enter the oil/biodiesel value chain without the high start up costs normally associated with an investment in an oil palm plantation. When the plantation matures, it will have the potential of providing the equivalent of 20% of its current feedstock requirements at under RM1,000 (A$346) a tonne compared to the current crude palm oil price of RM2,534 (A$877) a tonne.
While current Malaysian rules on foreign equity ownership restrict Sterling's ownership of UTE to 70%, Sterling will apply for Malaysian regulatory approval for the ability, should it choose to do so, to acquire a further 15% of UTE from the initial promoters. This option to purchase additional equity in the plantation development is exercisable over the next 4 years at an agreed price.
Development of the plantation is subject to Malaysian environmental impact assessment and approval which the company is confident of obtaining in due course. Sterling has also applied for membership of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and intends to comply with the principles for sustainable production and use of palm oil developed by the Roundtable.

GROTON, CT - Reach Out and Read, a nonprofit organization that gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together, has received a grant of $1,500 from Pfizer to continue to provide new, developmentally-appropriate books and early literacy guidance during pediatric checkups at facilities around the state that are served by Reach Out and Read.
"This is the first donation that Pfizer has made to the Connecticut chapter of Reach Out and Read, and we are hoping that this is the beginning of a long relationship with the company's local community grants program," said Reach Out and Read Director of Development for Connecticut and Massachusetts, Christine Garber. "Our medical providers use the books that these funds will help provide to open a discussion about the importance of reading at home with parents, and to track progress with children's ability to hold a book, identify colors and more."
Embedded within the existing healthcare system, Reach Out and Read's model includes providing a new, age-appropriate book for each child to take home at well-child visits from 6 months through 5 years. Along with the free book for the children, medical providers offer guidance to parents about the importance of reading aloud with their children every day starting at the newborn visit. With medical providers delivering the program, Reach Out and Read is uniquely positioned to reach nearly all children and their parents as they visit their doctor. The organization focuses on children growing up in low-income families as research shows they are at the highest risk for reading failure.
At a cost of only $100 per child for the full five years, over 300 Reach Out and Read doctors and nurses distribute over 70,000 new books to nearly 40,000 children and their families annually in Connecticut, through 74 clinical locations. Nationally, the organization distributes 6.5 million books to nearly 4.6 million children and their families annually, including 1 in 5 low-income families in the U.S.
The Reach Out and Read model is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the program has one of the strongest records of research support of any primary care intervention.

Q: Chrome Native Client toolchain missing 32-bit components When I try to build the samples distributed with the Visual Studio add-in provided by Google, I receive the following error:

The specified task executable location
  "\nacl_sdk\pepper_44\toolchain\win_x86_newlib\bin\x86_32-nacl-gcc.exe" is invalid

The folder does exist, but none of the x86_32 versions of the tools exist. There are 64-bit versions and I can build with a 64-bit profile.
Where can I get the 32-bit versions of the compilers/utilities?

A: The currently distributed toolchain compilers are all moving to 64-bits to support bigger projects which run out of memory when building with 32-bit toolchains. There have been a few emails on that topic in native-client-discuss, e.g. this one.
The general consensus is that developers have 64-bit OSes on x86-64, so the change won't hinder them, and the bigger address space for builds helps quite a few of our developers. This further reduces build time (just one build), test time, and storage required.
Note that this doesn't affect targeting x86-32! A 64-bit build can still generate x86-32 code, the same way it can target ARM or MIPS.

Q: How Much Is Too Much When It comes to understanding from first principles? My attempt to take math more seriously awoken a dormant obsession of trying to deconstruct everything to it's bare bones, and of not being satisfied with superficial understanding. As a rule of thumb i don't understand anything until i can prove it from scratch, however even though im still in highschool, i've found this incredibly difficult and time taxing, and I've been wondering if it's even possible in my case, maybe im just not smart enough for it. Also, this method of 'learning' or whatever you might call it, requires me to go on very long tangents when studying of doing math, for example while studying for a chapter on algebraic structures i've had to learn some linear algebra in order to understand the properties of matrix multiplication. And while studying calculus i had to prove every trigonometric identity i came across. This may not sound like alot but given the time constraint i have on exams it's been impossible to stay on schedule.Thoughts?

A: Let's say you are trying to understand Theorem X. There is an important method of understanding which I like to call "suspension of disbelief", or as my student calls it, "not falling down a rabbit hole". It goes like this.
At the top level of your understanding is a very short proof of Theorem X. What this proof consists of is the "ideas" of the proof, an "outline" of the proof, perhaps citing one or two other theorems that are used in the proof. Here is an example:

Theorem: $\cos(3\theta) = \cos^3(\theta) - 3 \cos(\theta) \sin^2(\theta)$.

and now for

The Proof (outline): This follows using algebra from the standard identities for $\cos(\alpha \pm  \beta)$ and $\sin(\alpha \pm \beta)$. QED

Now, your time is valuable to you. Perhaps you want to KNOW EVERY DETAIL of how to use those standard identities to prove the $\cos(3\theta)$ identity. But, you also need to move on to other things.
So, you make a rational decision to suspend your disbelief in that proof outline. You decide to accept that proof outline because you have faith in your own ability to fill in the details at any time, by remembering the standard identities and doing the algebra. And now you can move on to the next theorem.
Suspension of disbelief is an important skill, it keeps you from falling down a rabbit hole and making no progress.

A: It's not that you're not smart enough. Forcing mathematical enlightenment to be linear seems to be the problem. Wandering around into other topics while you are progressing in a certain direction is a great idea, but....
If you are not keeping a journal, start keeping a journal. A computer journal would be best  because then you can insert new entries into the appropriate place more easily. I take along a pad of newsprint (cheap paper) with me everywhere I go so that I can diddle and doodle with a current problem whenever inspiration or whim occurs to me.
Think about that scene in the movie, Patton, where an entire brigade could not cross a bridge because two donkeys refused to move. Patton shot both of them between the eyes and had them thrown off of the bridge.
If your compulsion to prove everything is holding back your college education, shoot that bugger between the eyes and throw it off of the bridge. With a journal, you can record your problems and you can address them at your whim. You will be their master instead of the other way around.


How to choose the best receiver — Pioneer SC-LX502 vs Pioneer SC-LX501?
Several days ago I got a possibility to test two AV receivers, which were created by Pioneer. Pioneer SC-LX502 has unique features and great sound quality. On the other hand, Pioneer SC-LX501 is not so powerful, but it is cheaper and still compatible with other devices, that's why it is difficult to choose the best alternative. I hope this comparison will help you to choose the best AV receiver quickly — Pioneer SC-LX502 vs SC-LX501.
These AV receivers maintain all popular audio formats (AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, DSD, MP3 and so on), that's why you can forget about problems with compatibility. As for the operational power consumption, it is also equal (250 W). Both of them have 3D pass-through and upscaling via HDMI up to 4K. In general, the performance of these receivers is similar and you should consider other features to make your choice.
It's really important that your receiver is compatible with other gadgets. Fortunately, the developers didn't decide to save their money, that's why they added 7 built-in decoders, network options, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and so on. There are a lot of HDMI, USB or other ports, which can transform your ordinary receiver into a real audio station.
To be honest, it is difficult to stay objective if you are going to consider and compare the design of receivers, but I have to admit that they look stylish and reliable. There are no major differences between these gadgets, but the product weight of the "older brother" - Pioneer SC-LX502 - is not so big (only 24 pounds, while the second competitor weighs 31 pounds).
It has a special smartphone remote control feature! It is really comfortable because you can change most of the features in several seconds.
Improved technologies create bigger problems: it is really difficult to "center" the sound and change settings according to your particular room.
It is a bit cheaper because this model was released in 2016.
ARC (Audio return channel) is not really reliable because you have to disconnect/reconnect HDMI cable to get it to work.

USA—Where can you buy a laundry basket, pregnancy test, and reading glasses for three dollars? Not Dollar Tree. Not anymore. The US-based company has said it will begin charging more than a dollar for its myriad goods, starting early in the new year.
A representative from Dollar Family, the company that owns Dollar Tree, blames inflation and employee greed. "Look, we're all struggling," said Doug Bishop. "The higher costs of freight and distribution, along with workers who demand a living wage are killing us. Yes, our inventory is mostly cheap trinkets, but getting it to the stores and staffing the stores drives up the sticker price."
How much more will consumers be paying? Most items will now be priced at $1.25. Given that some stores started introducing more expensive products in September, the increase seemed inevitable.
Bargain hunters who rely on Dollar Tree's low prices are not happy with the change. "They gonna sell some items for five dollars?!" said long-time shopper Diana Carter. "Dollar Tree fancy now? If I wanted to pay five dollars for something…well, I wouldn't!"
After 35 years of charging only a dollar for all products, the company is considering changing its name. "We've workshopped a lot of possibilities," said Bishop. "Buck 25 Hut, Savings Grove, Five Quarters. But no decision has been made yet."
When asked about prices in Canada, Bishop was non-committal. "Canada? I'm not sure. You got those one-dollar coins, but people will probably need to start using two-dollar coins instead. Twoies? Is that what you call them?"
The end is nigh. Not only are we experiencing unprecedented floods and a pandemic, but now Dollar Tree is set to charge more than a dollar for its treasures. It's a reminder for Canadians to spend their loonies while they can.

Li-Fi Could Make Home Wi-Fi 100x Faster
Jordan O'Brien 25th November 2015
Internet of ThingsNews3 min read
There is only so much installers can do to improve a customer's home Wi-Fi speeds. Sure there are dual-band routers boasting 5GHz and 2.4GHz channels. There are even tri-band routers boasting two 5GHz channels. Still, that's not enough for some data-hungry Wi-Fi users and soon there could be an even faster way of connecting to the Internet wirelessly.
With 5Gbps Internet speeds just around the corner for some people in the UK, it's about time that researchers found a quicker way to distribute those kind of speeds wirelessly. Thankfully, scientists in Tallinn, Estonia, have taken it upon themselves to come up with such a technology.
At the moment home Wi-Fi utilises radio waves to transmit data; a thing humans have been doing for decades. Professor Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh in the UK came up with an alternative that uses light from LEDs as opposed to radio waves. He calls it Li-Fi.
Li-Fi was first spoken about back in 2013, but since then scientists around the world have attempted to showcase whether or not the technology is actually feasible. Scientists in Tallinn, Estonia have proven that it is.
This is not the first time Li-Fi has been tested; earlier this year scientists proved that the technology works in a lab setting. At the time speeds of up to 224 gbps (28GB/s) were achieved. That test was under ideal conditions however, so in the real world speeds could be much slower.
Just how much slower is what the Estonian researchers wanted to find out and what they discovered was that Li-Fi technology had the potential of breaking the 8 gbps (1GB/s) barrier – which is up to 100x faster than current Wi-Fi speeds and even faster than most Ethernet ports on home routers.
"We are doing a few pilot projects within different industries where we can utilise the VLC (visible light communication) technology," Deepak Solanki, CEO of Estonian tech company, Velmenni, told IBTimes UK.
"Currently we have designed a smart lighting solution for an industrial environment where the data communication is done through light. We are also doing a pilot project with a private client where we are setting up a Li-Fi network to access the Internet in their office space."
The technology behind Li-Fi is called 'Visible Light Communication' which uses visible light between 400 and 800 THz. Some have likened this technology to an 'advanced form of Morse code' as data is transmitted to devices by a rapid switching on and off of light. The flickering will be imperceptible to the naked eye, meaning the light would be transmitting binary code without anyone noticing.
While speeds 100x faster are obvious advantages of Li-Fi, there are some downsides. For home users the main one is the fact that devices will need to be in direct line of sight of the light otherwise the data cannot be transmitted. That also means one Li-Fi router will not be able to service a whole home – as light cannot travel through walls and objects. It may be better utilised in an office setting however – thanks to Li-Fi's security benefits.
Of course the Harald Haas doesn't believe in just having one Li-Fi router in the home anyway. In fact, he envisions a world where every single lightbulb can transmit data wirelessly to devices. If his vision comes true, it would give a whole new meaning to 'smart lightbulb'.

Trump Congratulates 'Great Military Men, Women' For Syria Strike Read
Posted on April 17, 2018 April 17, 2018 by Loren Gutentag, Multimedia Journalist in Politics
President Donald Trump Saturday tweeted his congratulations to the men and women of the U.S. military for launching a lethal Tomahawk missile strike against Syria's Shayrat air base, and thanked them for their service.
Trump tweeted:
Congratulations to our great military men and women for representing the United States, and the world, so well in the Syria attack.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2017
The warships USS Porter and USS Ross in the Mediterranean Sea launched dozens of Tomahawk missiles at the Shayrat air base, which the Pentagon says was involved in a chemical weapons attack this week that killed dozens and left more than 100 others injured.
It was Trump's biggest foreign policy decision since taking office in January and the kind of direct intervention in Syria's six-year-old civil war his predecessor Barack Obama avoided.
Russia warned on Friday that the strikes on a Syrian air base could have "extremely serious" consequences, as Trump's first major foray into a foreign conflict opened up a rift between Moscow and Washington.
"We strongly condemn the illegitimate actions by the U.S. The consequences of this for regional and international stability could be extremely serious," Russia's deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, told a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev charged that the U.S. strikes were one step away from clashing with Russia's military.
U.S. officials informed Russian forces ahead of the missile strikes and avoided hitting Russian personnel.
Trump, who has frequently urged improved relations with Russia, strained under Obama over Syria, Ukraine and other issues, was hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday night when the attack occurred.
Russia's Defense Ministry responded to the attack by calling in the U.S. military attache in Moscow to say that at midnight Moscow time (5 p.m. EDT) it would close down a communications line used to avoid accidental clashes between Russian and U.S. forces in Syria, Interfax new agency said. U.S. warplanes frequently attack Islamic State militants in Syria and come close to Russian forces.
According to a Fox News Report, Russia is flexing their muscles by sending a Russian warship toward the area in the Mediterranean where U.S. Navy destroyers launched missile strikes into Syria.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, in Florida with Trump, said on Friday the United States would announce additional sanctions on Syria in the near future but offered no specifics.
