Current: Fuelling the future
Fuelling the future
Practically every article about fuel cells over the past 10 years has predicted that fuel cell-powered vehicles are 'just around the corner'. If they are then they must have stalled, because fuel-cell powered vehicles have still not put in an appearance.
The main stumbling block would appear to involve catalysis. This is especially true for a type of fuel cell known as a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), which in most other ways are the most suitable fuel cells for the majority of applications, including transport, as they are fairly small, can generate quite a bit of electrical power and operate at fairly low temperatures.
Like all other fuel cells, PEMFCs generate electrical power from reactions between hydrogen and oxygen, and produce water as the only waste product. But these oxidation and reduction reactions don't happen spontaneously: they need some form of catalyst. And the most efficient catalyst so far discovered is platinum, which is coated onto the electrodes in the current generation of PEMFCs.
The clear disadvantage with platinum is its cost. At $1500 an ounce, the platinum catalyst alone contributes around $3000 to the cost of a small fuel cell-powered car, equal to the cost of an entire petrol-powered car engine. To compound the problem, the cost of platinum has recently soared, driven by supply problems in South Africa, which produces around 80% of the world's supply. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of the platinum tends to decline with use, as a result of the platinum molecules both becoming oxidised and binding with unwanted byproducts, such as hydroxide ions.
So scientists are on the hunt for cheaper and more durable catalysts, or at least catalysts that don't use as much platinum. Making things a bit easier is the fact that it is novel cathode catalysts that are most urgently required. This is because the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) that occurs here is slower than the hydrogen oxidation reaction at the anode, which means that cathodes need to contain more platinum than anodes.
One of the simplest ways to create cheaper catalysts is to combine platinum with one or more less expensive metals, such as copper or nickel. Some of these alloys have proved to be more efficient catalysts than platinum, but unfortunately they're still not efficient enough to make up for the high cost of platinum.
'The automobile companies have been asking for a platinum-based catalyst that is four times more efficient, and, therefore, four times cheaper, than what is currently available,' says Peter Strasser, an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Houston. 'That's the magic number.'
Last year, Strasser led a team that managed to hit that magic number with a catalyst made of platinum, copper and cobalt. The catalyst is in the form of nanoparticles that Strasser and his team synthesised directly onto a carbon cathode. They did this by impregnating the cathode with liquid solutions of the three metals in turn, with each solution left to dry and then reduced by annealing (controlled heating). The end result was nanoparticles made of platinum, copper and cobalt, although they were not yet catalytic.
'The active phase of the catalyst is created by applying several hundred potential cycles in order to remove the copper and cobalt atoms near the surface of the particles,' explains Strasser. 'Platinum is more noble and does not dissolve during the potential cycling.' This produces nanoparticles with a defined structure, in which a platinum-rich outer shell covers a copper-rich core.
Strasser thinks that this shell-core structure is the secret behind the impressive catalytic ability of the nanoparticles, which are four to five times more efficient than pure platinum. By analysing the nanoparticles, Strasser has uncovered evidence that the platinum molecules on the surface are closer together than in pure platinum, probably as a result of the copper-rich core, which also affects the electronic properties of the platinum shell. This all seems to help oxygen molecules bind to the surface of the nanoparticle, thereby making it easier for the ORR to occur. Strasser has since shown that nanoparticles consisting of just platinum and copper have similar catalytic abilities.
Confirming the benefits of platinum-based nanoparticles with defined structures is work being conducted by Vojislav Stamenkovic at Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. Together with colleagues from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of South Carolina and the University of Liverpool in the UK, he has developed nanoparticles with a similar core-shell structure that are an impressive 90 times more efficient than the platinum–based catalysts used in current fuel cells.
To develop these nanoparticles, Stamenkovic and his team carried out some of the first detailed studies of the relationship between the surface properties of platinum-based nanoparticles, including surface composition and electronic properties, and their catalytic abilities. Using analytical techniques such as electron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, they discovered that these catalytic abilities seem to be dictated by the different rates at which molecules involved in the ORR process, including oxygen and reactive intermediates, and unwanted by-products bind to the platinum molecules.
Based on this finding, they created a platinum–nickel nanoparticle with the chemical formula Pt3Ni(111), which showed the highest ORR activity ever detected. This nanoparticle has a similar shell–core structure to Strasser's nanoparticle, consisting of a layer of tightly-packed platinum atoms over a layer with an equal number of platinum and nickel atoms surrounding a platinum-rich core. Like Strasser, Stamenkovic thinks that it is the specific structure of the nanoparticle that is responsible for its impressive catalytic abilities, with the close configuration of the surface platinum atoms preventing unwanted by-products from binding and thereby allowing more ORR activity.
'At this phase of our research we have several goals,' he says. 'To make a catalyst which can mimic the activity of the Pt3Ni(111)-skin surface, to make a nanoscale version of this surface, to find an appropriate substrate which would not lead to a drop in specific activity, and to improve the durability of the cathode catalyst.'
One way in which Stamenkovic could improve the durability of his cathode catalyst is to take advantage of recent work conducted by a team from Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, led by Radoslav Adzic. They have discovered that simply adding gold clusters to platinum catalysts can make them more durable. The gold clusters appear to do this by preventing the platinum atoms from being oxidised to platinum oxide and hydroxide, which are more prone to dissolving than pure platinum.
'Gold is nobler than platinum [and] changes its electronic properties to some extent,' explains Adzic. 'XANES [X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy] data clearly show in the presence of gold a shift of platinum oxidation to more positive potentials.' Unlike conventional cathodes, which can lose 45% of their platinum over five days under certain operating conditions, Adzic found that adding gold clusters prevented the loss of practically any platinum from the cathode. He and his team are now testing the clusters in real fuel cells.
Others researchers are trying to ditch the platinum completely, although this has so far proved far from easy. After more than 30 years of searching for non-precious metal catalysts, scientists had only really managed to come up with cobalt and iron porphyrins modified by pyrolysis (heating in the absence of air). This pyrolysis process creates metal–nitrogen sites on the pyrolysis products where ORR is thought to take place, but unfortunately these pyrolised metal porphyrins are even less stable than platinum.
Then, in 2006, Rajesh Bashyam and Piotr Zelenay from Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, reported a new non-precious metal cathode catalyst based on a cobalt–polypyrrole–carbon composite. Bashyam and Zelenay specifically designed this composite to have a similar structure to the pyrolised metal porphyrins, with the polypyrrole acting as a framework for hosting cobalt-nitrogen sites. 'The idea was to entrap catalytic centres by co-ordinating the metal centre with heteroatoms present in such polymers,' explains Zelenay.
They found that not only could this composite catalyse the ORR, helping to generate electrical power when incorporated into a fuel cell, but it also showed no sign of degrading over more than 100 hours of continual use. Zelenay and Bashyam have since gone on to develop similar catalytic polymers comprising iron and nickel, and are now attempting to increase the catalytic activity of these materials.
As is so often the way, however, if you want to discover really effective non-precious metal catalysts then you need to turn to nature. For there are enzymes that are able to conduct the ORR, which are known as laccases and have active sites based on copper, and enzymes that are able to oxidise hydrogen atoms, which are known as hydrogenases and have active sites based on iron and nickel. And Oxford University's Fraser Armstrong has managed to take advantage of this catalytic ability to develop enzymatic fuel cells.
'Our inspiration came about from the realisation that the active sites of enzymes were in many cases as good – and we now believe probably even better – than that most expensive resource platinum,' Armstrong explains.
The other advantage of enzymes is that they are very specific catalysts. So, unlike platinum, hydrogenases will only catalyse the oxidation of hydrogen atoms and laccases will only catalyse the ORR. This means that if you incorporate hydrogenases into the anode and laccases into the cathode of a fuel cell, then you can pass a hydrogen-air mix over both electrodes rather than needing separate streams of hydrogen and air. Unfortunately, enzymatic fuel cells can't produce much power, but Armstrong believes that they could find use in certain niche applications, such as powering implantable devices.
Armstrong hopes that this work will also inspire the development of the next generation of non-precious metal catalysts. 'We're looking at these enzymes as a benchmark for what is definitely possible if we are able to synthesise small analogues that mimic this activity,' he says.
If such analogues can be found, then perhaps fuel cell-powered vehicles will finally appear from around that corner.
A typical PEMFC fuel cell consists of an anode and a cathode, both usually made of carbon, separated by an electrolyte, which in this case is a solid ionic polymer. A stream of hydrogen is passed over the anode (blue arrows), while oxygen in the form of air is passed over the cathode (white arrows).
At the anode, the hydrogen molecules undergo oxidation reactions, splitting into electrons (yellow, inset) and hydrogen ions (blue, inset), which are able to pass through the solid ionic polymer (yellow) to the cathode. But the electrons are unable to follow because the polymer is non-conducting and so they are forced to travel along an external circuit between the two electrodes, generating electrical power. At the cathode, the electrons and hydrogen ions combine with oxygen molecules in the air to produce water, in what is known as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

Laser Christmas lights can pose a huge safety risk
Posted: Dec 10, 2015 / 08:39 PM MST / Updated: Dec 10, 2015 / 09:17 PM MST
DENVER — A new trend in holiday lights is making it easier to decorate your house, but it could also pose a huge safety risk.
Matt Glassman proclaims himself as a "Clark Griswold" of Aurora. He used to deck his house out with Christmas light every year. Since having a son, he doesn't have as much time to do that anymore. So, this year he opted for a Star Shower Laser Light.
"Yeah, this was a piece of cake," Glassman told FOX31.
The light projects hundreds of red and green speckles onto the outside of your house with a single spotlight. They are available at most stores that sell Christmas lights this holiday season.
"It's a great idea, but there are unintended consequences that nobody really has planned for," said aviation safety expert Steve Cowell.
The veteran pilot says lasers may look great on the ground, but not in the sky.
"It poses a danger to aircraft that are maybe on approach or on a departure from an airport," Cowell said.
When a laser hits glass, it spreads the light out over the surface. The glare can make it impossible for pilots to see.
"If you've got a laser light shining up at you it destroys your night vision and therefore puts you and your passengers in jeopardy," explained Cowell.
If a homeowners laser light display shines into an aircraft, there can be fines and other consequences. Cowell says homes that are away from airports pose a smaller risk. If you live close to an airport, however, it is best to stick to the old fashioned string lights.

Mitutoyo 192-153 Dial Height Gauge, 0-40" Range, 0.001" Resolution, +/-0.003" Accuracy, 17.0kg Mass
Measurement range of 0" - 40", and precise to 0.001"
Dial display with resettable up and down counters to help provide precise measurements
Hand-operated feed wheel for measurement ease
Carbide-tipped scriber for hardness and to help prolong life
The grip-base helps hold the unit in position by hand
Publisher: Mitutoyo
The Mitutoyo 192-153 dial height gauge has a measurement range of 0" - 40", and is precise to 0.001", with + or - 0.003" of accuracy.
This height gauge has dual, resettable counters that additionally measure up and down distance changes, in 0.01" increments. A hand-operated feed wheel raises and lowers the gauge on the parallel beams, for ease of measurement. The scriber, used to mark a position on a workpiece, is 30 mm x 60 mm (H x L), carbide-tipped for hardness and to help prolong life, and is held to the gauge by a screw clamp for fastening ease. The grip-base helps hold the unit in position by hand. The height gauge weighs 37.48 lbs/17.0 kg.
Height gauges, also called gages, are precision measuring instruments that travel on a vertical column (also called the beam) to measure and/or mark the vertical distance from the base of an object in fine units. The vertical position of the gauge and its attached pointer are changed by turning a calibrated screw, or one or more feed wheels. Recorded rotations are read from a scale, a dial, counters, and/or an electronic display. A screw clamp holds the pointer to the gauge. The pointer is typically sharpened to act as a scriber, and can be used to mark a position on a workpiece by scratching its surface. On compatible units, the scriber may be replaced by an electronic touch-signal probe. Height gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.
Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL.

Cloud Content Management in a Tablet Era
Author: Jim Lundy Date: May 18, 2012
Topic: Content Management Research Note Number: 2012-12
Issue: How will Content Management market evolve to support new technologies such as video?
Summary: As content storage and sharing moves to the cloud, a bevy of cloud-based content management options are becoming available. Aragon Research introduces the four levels of cloud content management (CCM).
For years, most users shared content with their colleagues and collaborators by attaching a file to an email and clicking "Send." As email administrators unhappily know, this turns the users' collective inboxes into a de facto collaboration repository, with the email timeline providing some primitive workflow and version control, but with no real collaboration or content management (CM) services.
This ad hoc approach grew because many users didn't have CM or collaboration tools, or access to the ECM repository, perhaps due to the cost of per-seat licenses. For users, it has a few advantages: it is simple, requires no planning or IT involvement, and anyone can make use of it whenever they need to. It is not, however, a robust or scalable approach to meeting users' growing CM and collaboration needs.
Now, however, with cloud-based backup increasingly popular, cloud service providers are expanding their archives into working content repositories. To attract more active users, they have to offer tools and services that enable active collaboration and engagement with this new cloud-based content ecosystem. This Research Note looks at four levels of cloud content management (CCM) that can meet these needs.
Several steps along the way have helped the rise of CCM. Microsoft SharePoint has grown over the last eleven years to challenge established ECM providers. SharePoint's appeal was that it was low-cost, user-friendly, and easier to implement than a full ECM system. Now, as the cloud becomes an acceptable place to store content, cloud service providers are developing a new generation of content management services that go beyond archival storage to provide robust interactive content creation, collaboration and dissemination functions to users worldwide.
This is part of our archived research. See our topics for a current list of newly published research.

Every semester, a few students at Brigham Young University learn about edible plants, skinning animals, setting traps, building shelters and making fire without matches through BYU's Wilderness Trek class.
The final this year was particularly eventful. The podcast below gives an inside look into the individual stories of some of the students who participated, as well as two videos teaching a couple of the skills taught in the class.
Why did I take this class?
It was a question I hadn't stopped asking myself for the previous 48 hours. I asked it when I lay shivering in my soaked sleeping bag, when I stood in dripping wet clothes as snow came down in large flurries, when they separated me from class and left me to survive on my own in the wild. Why did I take this class?
The survival class sounded like a good idea two months ago when I signed up for it. They told us the final would be four days long, that they would separate all of us and survive based off the skills we had learned. I could be home! I thought.
At the time I was sitting by my homemade shelter made from branches and bark. Home. I stood up and searched and found a large piece of bark and then started carving that very word: Home.
Later, in charcoal I would add below the poorly carved "home" the words "sweet home" to read "Home sweet home." This little signed changed everything. I began to "tidy up" camp, brushing away the dead leaves and twigs, dragging a large fallen branch over to sit on, creating little tables for my tools and food.
Suddenly, I wasn't just surviving: I was thriving, and it was all because I had created a "home sweet home." So many times even in my own, snug, cozy life I had been living moment to moment, simply trying to get by to the next day. In the back of my mind, I knew that I would be leaving that makeshift shelter in just a day or so, but that didn't matter. This home had become a place that I thrived in, and I knew coming back from the final I would do everything in my power to make my little apartment a place where I could continue to thrive.
They say home is where the heart is. I used to see that as a passive phrase, that home would just happen to be wherever my heart was and that where my heart would be was completely out of my control. I know now that you can make a home by working to put your heart and love into wherever you are.
Darkness encompassed us, coming up from behind and stretching out as far as the eye couldn't see. Mixed with the darkness was the rain, rain which brought out the smell of gravelly dirt and the sagebrush and juniper on either side of the path. Soaked as it were by the sky, I kept walking. We all did.
It sounds surreal, like a scene from a gloomy nightmare or depressing movie, but this scenario was very real for me and my classmates. We signed up for a survival class and for the final test went on a four-day excursion to prove our skills. Little did we know that for the first few hours of the trip, our teacher would march us through the desert with no light, no way to tell the time, and no knowledge as to how far we had walked nor how much further we had to go.
None of us had eaten since 6:00 p.m., and we had started the hike around 10:30 p.m. Later, we learned that we had hiked for around four hours and a total of eight miles in that dreary desert, but again, at the time we had no sense of time or distance.
I thought about life and the past few months, how so much of this past winter I had felt like I was on a metaphorical dark road, hiking through the night with no idea how much further I had to go. Why couldn't God just pick me up and take me to the end of my trials? Why can't I be that girl?
And then distinctly I felt the words: Because I know you can do this. That girl couldn't physically complete that trek– but I could. I was still on that dark road, both physically and metaphorically, because God did know the distance, knew my capabilities, and knew that I would be able to make it through the rain and the darkness to the destination.
If you feel like I did on that desert road, dreading every step and wondering how much further you have to go, remember that someone else has walked that road before. Christ knows you and He knows that road perfectly, and if you haven't been driven to the end, then know it's because you can do this. Keep hoping; keep walking.
Sparks. Over and over again just sparks. I sat on my makeshift camping chair (a large, fallen branch) for two hours striking that "flint" (a rock I found in the woods) with my steel buffalo striker, rubbing my knuckles raw, and nothing.
Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow.
I remember that feeling of compassing myself with sparks—that flash of hope you get when out of the darkness you see a brief flicker of light, and then you strike harder and harder and get spark after spark, but none of it sticks; nothing lasts.
And there's an analogy in that, of course: all our "walking in our own light," our self-made successes are temporary. They are just sparks. They light our life for a moment but leave as quickly as they come. They don't catch.
After a couple hours, I had a little savior. My friend brought me charred cloth. The sparks had something to catch on, and when one finally landed perfectly on the charcoal material, the small nest of sticks and plant fiber lit up and finally, I had a fire.
Our attempts to do it by ourselves, following the sparks of our own successes, are not enough to build a lasting fire of warmth and light. Ironically, charred cloth can only be made by another fire, and so we rely on someone else's previous fire to give us material that can make our own.
Our Savior has made that fire; he has prepared for us the material to make our own. Without Him, nothing in this life can truly catch—can truly stick and sustain us.
I bury my face in my hands, finally realizing what it was. I just want to get it right. The past few months—past year even—felt like a complete failure. That, of course, was also me being a little melodramatic, but it was also me realizing how perfectionistic I was.
The counselor looked at me, waiting for me to say more, but I didn't.
"And who wanted to get it right?" He asked.
I lifted my head out of my hands, confused. He repeated the question.
"I…I don't know…" I said.
Then he said something that changed my life.
Many of us have heard the story about Heavenly Father presenting a plan to his children before we came to this earth. In this family council, there were two ideas offered up for how we would be saved. Satan essentially presented a plan in which he would force us to do everything right, taking away our choice.
"But what did the savior want? Did he want us to 'get it right,' as you say?" My counselor asked.
Then my counselor continued, "We like to compare life to a test, like we are given a set of multiple choice answers and there's only one right answer. If you make the wrong choice, you get deducted a point. But I don't like that analogy.
Satan wanted us to get it right, and Jesus Christ wanted us to make choices. I liked the idea, but I struggled with it—and sometimes still do—because I couldn't help but feel like there had to be one choice that was better than another. I learned that sometimes there are, but the good news is we have someone who makes up for those poor decisions, our Savior Jesus Christ.
It's easy to feel bitter about the traditional high school when it's sharply contrasted with a radical, project-based, technology-heavy magnet school just down the street. As a student who found herself in that exact position in high school, I vehemently argued for the traditional ways of high school, desperately trying to prove that even in a broken system I, too, could succeed just as much as any student with a lap top and some radical new practices.
But, if I were to let go of my pride and be honest with myself, I would completely agree with the radical, innovative approaches to education—anything that would be a move away from the assembly-line model of the traditional high school I attended. For me, the underlying principle of these radical changes would be in increase in personal freedom for students and teachers alike.
The first way to increase freedom is to increase access, including access to experts, technology, and supplies. In my ideal school, every student would receive a personal computer. Students would also be able to rent high-end cameras, sound systems, and other equipment in order to aid in projects and personal endeavors. Often students are limited in their options because of their inaccessibility to technology; more access would create more options, leading to more overall personal freedom to explore academic pursuits.
After providing the tools to the students, teachers and administrators should provide direction. That is, share the state and school standards of education for the child, but then together as a teacher and student develop individual objectives for fulfilling those requirements. Allow the student to be involved in deciding his or her education. For example, students can choose to fulfill requirements for learning about the French Revolution by organizing a mock trial for King Louis XVI or Marie Antoinette; or, to fulfill a requirement concerning understanding sound waves and physics, students can collaborate to create a Ruben's Flame Tube and then organize a visit to a sixth grade class to explain the physics. Students should also be involved in the evaluation process by providing a reflection essay or speaking one-on-one with the teacher about personal performance.
Notice that both the examples concerning personalized exploration of education includes students collaborating in groups. Collaboration is an essential skill for life, and beyond that, working together in teams open up more opportunities for academic exploration. Two or three or four people can arguably do far more than one person alone. Of course, some students prefer to work in smaller groups or even individually, but my ideal school would emphasize open communication in groups about these specific preferences. The student who prefers to work individually can communicate his or her desire and the group can come up with solution that best meets those individual's needs (such as assigning the individual a task that is best done alone but will contribute to the group's effort). Differences in individual's work preferences are encouraged because it allows students to problem-solve and negotiate those preferences.
The ideas discussed aren't particularly radical, but rather a step in the right direction. I saw firsthand how difficult—but still possible—it is to create a completely project-based, flexible, freedom-enhancing high school, especially when considering the teacher, parent, and community backlash against such radical changes. However, I also saw how manageable it is for those radical ideas to slowly trickle into the traditional high school setting. The basic principles of increasing student freedom by creating more accessibility, providing flexibility in approaching learning standards, and encouraging working collaboratively on projects can drastically improve a traditional high school setting—this coming from a student who witnessed the adoption of these principles and their effectiveness in a traditional high school. Perhaps the "ideal" is a little more achievable than we give it credit for.
Steve Peck remembers his week of horror vividly: the giant insects flying around the hospital, his daughter's innocently hand-drawn pictures that took life and began speaking to him, the evil clones of his wife and children conversing right outside his door. To Peck, it was all real, and the madness had narrative and twisted explanations.
Almost too late, one doctor discovered Peck had a rare bacterial infection Peck picked up in Vietnam when he was there studying butterflies a year prior.


There is currently a high level of interest in the field of nonlinear guided wave optics with the availability of nonlinear materials and their use in new areas of application. This is particularly the case for solitons and other types of nonlinear pulses in optical fibers, high capacity dispersion-free communications. Further, soliton-like beams in highly nonlinear materials, such as organic polymers, are being studied with a view to using them for fast-switching purposes in devices where the light creates its own guiding channel.
Written by two authors who are at the forefront of this research, Solitons provides a thorough treatment of the applications of switching devices. It presents the results of the most up to date research on the subject in an accessible manner and adopts a unified approach to solitons in fibers and the devices which use them. The book is an essential reference work for both professional engineers working in optoelectronics and telecommunications companies and graduate students and researchers in the area.

Employers Must Tread Carefully in Ending Benefits for Employees Aged 65+
It has been more than a decade since mandatory retirement has been prohibited in Ontario. What has been allowed to continue, however, is the termination of group benefits for workers aged 65+. This remnant of age discrimination has been severely curtailed with the recent release of Talos v Grand Erie District School Board.
In Talos, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario found that the School Board's decision to terminate an employee's group benefits at 65 (even though he continued to work full time) created a disadvantage based on age and reinforced the view that older workers were less valuable members of the workforce. The Tribunal did not accept the School Board's argument that providing such benefits were cost-prohibitive.
While this landmark decision doesn't automatically overturn other benefit plans with age restrictions, it does leave open a much easier route to challenging them.

The Grand Valley State University Ski Team proposed to start a high school ski club at Allendale Public Schools. Last night the Athletic Director agreed if I would sponsor the club - being the site owner - and supervise the activities. So, we have an agreement for starting the club. The goal is to have an instructional and fun time culminating with a tournament so the kids understand what competitive skiing is all about. I don't think we can get other schools involved right now, maybe in a year after proof of concept. Any advice?
Wow, I don't have any advice, but that is AWESOME!
Jennifer Leachman LaPoint started a HS waterski legue down here in FL. They have had 2 tournaments I believe. Involves several private schools. NOT a traditional format. It's slalom, wakeboard and kneeboard. All earned points go to team overall only. Slalom can be short or full width course or just wake crossings with points given accordingly. If the skier has been in an official AWSA tourney, they are handy capt by having to beat their best score. Makes the competition even across the board. A Wilson brother was in one and the way she sets the scoring unless he did well he'd get beaten by a wake crosser. She really laid it out well. If I can get enough interest this yr at my daughters school, we will be joining the this yrs touney in April if she has it. AWSA/USAWS has all the insurance (and it's cheap) laid out and is easily aquired. Kids will have to become members at $35 grass roots price and they will get the mag and all the goodies from USAWS. Then all practices become sanctioned and your covered. I have all the paperwork in my car just gotta get it done. Call them and they will get you the forms and walk you through it.
Great idea! Thanks in advance for all your efforts to grow the sport at that age group. My daughter is going to high school next year, I wish it was available where we live. Good luck!

Adventures in Relocation
Change. We either embrace it or recoil from it. If 2020 has taught us anything, it may be how to sit with and accept what we cannot change. But, change can also be inspiring, leading us to unknown places, new people, exciting cultures and traditions, and perhaps even a whole new life's journey.
I have always felt the world was too large to settle in just one place for the long haul. I spent my childhood bouncing around from home to home, town to town, never settling into one place for very long. My father had a job that required us to follow the opportunities. I never formed too much emotional attachment to the places we lived, and honestly, I have pretty foggy childhood memories. So, as an adult, when opportunities for relocation adventures have presented themselves, the answer has always been a resounding yes. And, when too much time had passed without one, our family hatched our own plan, leading us to our current home here in Chapel Hill, NC.
According to US Census data, on average, people will move 11.7 times in their lifetime. And, 32 million people, or about 10% of the US population, move each year, with about 5 million of those making interstate or international moves. While most make the move simply for a new or better home, the other reasons rounding out the top 4 are establishing a new household, other family reasons, and a new job or job transfer. While it may feel like we've become a more and more mobile society, today, half as many people move each year as they did in the 1960's.
My family's first big relocation adventure began when my now-husband was offered a job in Montreal. The company wooed us with a summertime sightseeing trip, even including my 8-year-old daughter. The days were long, the festivals were in full swing and the people were out flooding the streets, enjoying the sunshine and seemingly shirking all responsibilities. The city reminded us of Europe, the job was incredible, we were all going to learn French and we were sold. Fast forward to August 31, 1997- the world grieved Princess Diana and we made the drive to Canada to begin our new adventure. After some misadventures at the border related to my daughter, custody papers, and an overzealous border agent, we were on our way! And, just 7 short weeks later, we were buried in 2 feet of snow. So much for sunshine and festivals. But snow could not even compare to what awaited us in January when the Great Ice Storm of 1998 hit Montreal, leaving us without power for weeks, and later being named one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history. What had we done?
Old Montreal: A taste of Europe right here in North America.
But, despite its undeniable terrible weather that year (and maybe every winter), the shortest days you could possibly imagine once October rolled around- seriously, my daughter walked home from school in the dark at 4pm!- and some minor cultural adjustments, our three years in Montreal provided endless opportunities. My daughter attended a bilingual school and carried her French language skills long past her high school days. She also found her love of ice skating, very late to the sport by Canadian standards where children learn to skate as soon as they can walk, but it's something she still enjoys today, even recently hiring a coach at Chelsea Piers in NYC, to refresh her jumps and spins. It's where we all traveled to Paris from and my husband I got engaged. It's where I solidified my corporate finance career, taking larger roles in two global companies. Montreal was our adventure that led to opportunities we may not have had otherwise. And, despite our rocky start, we're all grateful for our time there.
In early 2000, we found ourselves presented with a new opportunity for adventure- NYC! My husband's family was still on Long Island and mine in Massachusetts, so the time felt right to head back to the States. New York had a lot to offer in the way of excitement! We made fast work of hitting all the tourist spots and quickly became comfortable with Metro-North and the subway. Pizza & bagels, broadway shows & museums, diners and ballgames, not to mention a very fast pace all became the norm. We established a wonderful Christmas Eve tradition of touring the NYC holiday windows, stopping off at the Rockefeller Christmas tree (once we even skated) attending a show, and enjoying a really festive holiday dinner. And, we'd always top off the night sitting on the floor of Grand Central staring up at the ceiling watching the constellation light show when we couldn't possibly stand or walk for another minute. And, most excitingly, this is where our son was born, on the west side of Manhattan, just 3 miles from Yankee Stadium but destined to be a Red Sox fan.
A bustling Grand Central Terminal in New York City.
Our years in New York were quick and full and ever-changing. We got married in Anguilla with our 30 closest friends and family. I went to nursing school. We built, opened, successfully ran, and then sold a neighborhood ice cream shop, Here's the Scoop. My husband changed jobs and when they shut down the NYC office, we came this close to paying far too much for a house and moving to Boston. My daughter graduated high school and headed off to the University of Rhode Island the very same day my son started kindergarten. We were busy and New York kept pace right with us. New York was the adventure that brought us our son, annual family traditions and a strong work ethic. They were not an easy-going eleven years, but they helped define us as a family.
Our Chapel Hill adventure was different from the others, in that we sought it out rather than it finding us. While we loved many things about New York, it was time for a change- a slower pace, a lower cost of living, some better weather. We had a few criteria on our wish list and narrowed it down to just a few places on the map. We had never even been to Chapel Hill when we came down for a house-hunting weekend, and while my daughter was grown and stayed behind in NY, the three of us have now been settled here for just over nine years. And, while this relocation adventure has brought other things- new jobs, college, travel- more than anything, it has brought new friendships and a strong sense of community- something we maybe weren't as successful with in the past. We have all found our people here.

Our son was one of the lucky 2020 high school graduates and now attends Northeastern University in Boston. With both our children up north, and my husband's latest, exciting job in Washington DC, another adventure may come knocking on our door in the not too distant future. And, based on over 20 years of experience, I think it's a knock we should not hesitate to answer. You never know what may be on the other side of that door. Where will your adventure take you?

RakeMax® is a multi rake bar screen that is used for screening sewage, wastewater, stormwater and river water.
It can cope with large volumes of screenings and coarse objects such as rocks, pebbles and pieces of wood. Some 1500+ units have been installed around the world.
Recently a 3mm wedgewire version of the RakeMax® was tested at the UK WIR Test Facility located in Chester Le Street STP, UK.
With HUBER's innovative bar rack that uses wedgewire the screen was certified to achieve a Screenings Capture Ratio of 75%.
This is outstanding considering it's a raked bar screen. By comparison, HUBER's Escamax with 5mm perforated plate achieved 84%.
RakeMax® is suited to retrofits of older screens were higher screenings capture is desired, but the channel dimensions and hydraulics do not allow a perforated plate screen to be installed.
The screen is available in widths from 500 to 3000mm and comes in 15 different heights. So it can suit any channel installation. The wedgewire versions are available from 2 – 6mm.

It's always interesting to consider what the future might bring in terms of design, in particular when the design relates to technology within the home. What's even more interesting is looking at what the future might hold in regards to technology within the bathroom. Televisions within the bathroom are becoming more common but what more can we expect to see? Let's explore the future of audio visual bathrooms.
It might seem like a luxury in itself to have any kind of television in your bathroom but a television that has been designed specifically for wet areas is the ultimate in luxury bathing appliances. Waterproof televisions that offer high resolution screens and a variety of frames and finishes will become the norm in bathrooms. Resistant to humidity, fully submersible remote controls and safe to use in wet areas, these televisions are impressive indeed. Televisions incorporated into mirrors is another smart option. All that homeowners will have to do is choose how many inches they want their bathroom tv to be.
Not only will you see mirrors incorporating televisions in audio visual bathrooms, you'll also see them incorporating touch screens. Why not use your mirror to do more than simply show you your reflection? How about discovering the daily weather or news whilst getting ready for the day ahead. Or watch your favourite YouTube videos while preparing to head out for a night on the town. Connect to the web and surf while laying back in your tub even. Not only will these types of mirrors become common in bathrooms of the future, they are already available now. That's right, you can take your bathroom to a futuristic level today with these cutting edge designs.
Faucets are highly functional fixtures in bathrooms today and thanks to modern technology they now offer more functionality than ever before. Touch screens built into tap designs are now a reality and in the future are sure to be seen in every home. With features such as email and weather information, smart faucets will only get even smarter in the years ahead.

How a St Mirren sacking was the turning point for legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson
Ben Banks
Sir Alex Ferguson is Britain's most well known manager. He was a legendary coach known worldwide for his exploits with Manchester United. The iconic boss led the Red Devils through the finest period in their history.
Known for his authoritarian way of management, Ferguson ruled with an iron fist wherever he went in his managerial career. After experiencing a decent playing career, he took over as head coach at East Stirlingshire at the age of 32.

In his four short months at the club, his reputation as a promising young manager and strong disciplinarian grew. It attracted the attention of St Mirren, and on the recommendation of outgoing boss Willie Cunningham, Ferguson linked up with the Buddies in 1974.
Ferguson had little in terms of managerial experience, so it was a big jump to go to a club like St Mirren at an early age in his managerial career. He lasted four years at Love Street and completely galvanised the faltering Buddies. Despite this, he couldn't prevent himself from facing the axe in 1978 over incidents with the players and St Mirren's club secretary.

It meant that the Paisley side were the only team to sack the iconic manager. Whilst the Saints seen a raw version of Ferguson, they really defined his managerial career.
St Mirren highs and lows
The Buddies boss immediately went about installing discipline to his side. Players feared Fergie's wrath. Their manager was not one to shy away from brutally telling players where they went wrong and what he thought of them.
St Mirren were stuck in the lower reaches of the old Second Division, playing to crowds of just over 1,000. In the space of three years he had took that side and turned them into First Division champions, with young talent like Billy Stark and current St Mirren CEO Tony Fitzpatrick playing key roles in Ferguson's St Mirren revolution.

The Paisley outfit played high energy football under the young manager, whilst also possessing the ability to fight and scrap for the ball, a trademark in all of Ferguson's teams. He created a youthful side made up of local talent. His league winning side had an average age of 20 and his captain Fitzpatrick was just 19.
20,000 plus people were turning up at Love Street to watch St Mirren play. Who knows how big they would have become if Ferguson stayed in Paisley for the long term and what could have been achieved.

The club had accused him of intimidating the club's secretary and not speaking to her for weeks on end. Others claimed it was because of various breaches he made into players contracts. Whatever the reason, The Buddies had sacked Britain's most promising manager. It clearly added flames to an already big fire within Ferguson. He was relentless in his pursuit of success, something which he later found on a regular basis.
St Mirren left to wonder what could have been
After leaving Love Street, Ferguson joined Aberdeen and brought in the club's golden generation. It was at Pittodrie where he made a name for himself. He made them champions of Scotland in just his second season in charge.
Ferguson went on to win four Scottish Cups, one League Cup and another Scottish Premiership crown in 1985. Perhaps his biggest achievement of all was winning Aberdeen's only European trophies in their history, securing the European Cup Winners Cup and the European Super Cup in 1984.

He brought major success to the Granite City, something no Dons manager will ever get near to again. Ferguson developed rapidly at Pittodrie, with his tactics and disciplinarian approach to management working wonders for Aberdeen. He's their most successful manager and was rewarded with a move to sleeping giants Manchester United in 1986, following a brief spell as Scotland coach alongside the late Jock Stein.
United were second bottom in the English first division when he arrived. By the time he retired in 2013, they had won everything there was to win. With 38 trophies to his name, including 13 English Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies, Ferguson really conquered club football in Manchester.
All of this happened as a result of St Mirren sacking a young Ferguson in 1978. Sure he would have eventually moved on to greater things, but who knows what would have happened had he stayed on at Love Street that extra bit longer.

It's a shame for St Mirren as who knows how big they could have became in Scottish football.
For Ferguson though, after his Paisley dismissal, the rest is history.

Interview by Eetu "Ene" Niskanen
An Interview with Heidi, the soprano singer of the Finnish Metal Band Amberian Dawn. During this interview, we'll talk about about the new album "The Clouds of Northland Thunder" that is coming this summer.
You just released your second album "The Clouds of Northland Thunder" with Amberian Dawn, how much work did it take?
Our front man Tuomas had already started the composing the new album when the "River of Tuoni" album was released and some of the song were already ready. Almost everything was recorded before the Epica European tour 2008 but some choir and vocal parts had to be done straight after the tour. It took lots of work from everyone and especially from Tuomas who almost lived at the studio during the recordings. I did all the choir parts except the "Incubus" male role so I had quite a lot to sing too.
Is there an lyrical concept behind the album?
Not a clear one. But of course I wanted to bring a bunch of exiting stories to this album and also pour some Finnish cultural heritance into the lyrics too. Some of the lyrics are based on the Finnish national epic Kalevala as also on our previous album. On the "Clouds" album the Kalevala songs are "Kokko- Eagle of Fire" and "Birth of the Harp". But there are also lyrics based on my own stories and legends or even fairytales.
How the band has grown from the debut "River of Tuoni"?
The biggest growth has happened in the bands skills and of course our lineup has changed too. First came Kasperi to replace the former guitarist Sampo and just recently Tuomas decided to retire from guitar-business, at least the live guitars, and his replacement was Emppu with his wild hair. The sound of the new album is in my opinion more solid and there is more variation in musical ways.
What is your personal favourite song from the album?
Hard question because I kind of like them all but from different reasons and it is really hard to put them into any order. But maybe I would say "Sons of Seven Stars" because in my opinion the story and the music go so well together in this song. The story linkes quite remotely to the book about Seven Brothers of Aleksis Kivi, a Finnish author. But in this version of the story, the seven brothers were born in the ancient times from the alliance of a bear and a human. The bears left the land to their sons and moved to the stars. The seven sons grew up under the constellation of Ursa Major and the North star and persistantly and with vigor they plowed the frozen land and peopled the cold and dark North. They could have also been the forfathers for Finnish people.
How did you joined Amberian Dawn?
I was a keyboardist and a backing vocalist in a metal band called Iconofear from the year 1997. During the ten years with Icono-boys I developped my singing skills and felt that is was time to retire from the keyboards. I simply felt I was better as a singer than a keyboardist and I could give most on that area. So it was 2006 when I started to search a band as a singer. Tuomas and Tommi spotted my ad and I did some singing samples and also the lyrics for "Passing Bells" from "River of Tuoni" album as a test. I think I got the job…;)-
How long have you been singing?
I went on a music oriented school and I started taking singing lessions when I was 14 years old. By that time I didn´t even think about being a singer one day. I wanted to take some lessions because I felt tensions and pain in my throught when singing. I wanted to emprove my tecnique to get rid of the tentions which made my singing unpleasant. I enjoyed singing a lot and I wanted it to stay that way too. I joined a choir at the age of 14 and after that I have sang in various choirs and some ensembles too. I´m still taking singing lessions and trying to develop my skills – I feel that it´s an neverending project…..but I don´t mind as long as I keep developping!-
How would you describe your voice?
I'm a classically trained soprano and some would say I'm a soubrette soprano. – The soubrette voice is light with a bright, sweet timbre, a tessitura in the mid-range and with no extensive coloratura. The soubrette voice has a lighter vocal weight than other soprano voices and a brighter timbre. Many young singers start out as soubrettes but as they grow older and the voice matures more physically they may be reclassified as another voice type-.
What kind of music do you listen yourself and how often?
I listen to a lot of different kinds of music from heavy metal to classical. I don't listen too much music because I´m not too much at home. But when I do I first listen to my mood and then I choose the right music for it.
Do you think it's easier to rise as metal band on big metal country such as Finland?
Finland is the promised land for metal but because of that the competition is hard and the level is really high. You have to have a good concept, skilled musicians, good compositions and production, some luck, reliable and hardworking people to work with and a great team to built everything up. And not to forget the hard work from everyone. Sounds like recipe for a cake doesn't it! Bake it in 666 degrees to make it metal…hahhah :D-
You did big european tour with symphonic metal band Epica last year, how was the experience?
It was a great experience and we all grew up as musicians during the four week on road. The Epica people were really fun to work with and everything went really as planned. Except we all got a bit sick on the tour and I was in a terrible flue for almost 3 weeks from the 4 weeks tour…there were mornings I didn´t have almost any voice but duringthe day I managed to get some of my singing voice back. In Germany I went to a doctor but I only got some herbs and allready in France I needed to see a doctor again who gave me antibiotics and some cortizone. I missed a lot of scenery because of being sick but none of the shows so I must be content.
There are a lot of female fronted metal bands in the world at the moment, how Amberian Dawn is different from them, how do you keep unique?
We play fast tempo, guitar driven metal with purely classical female vocals. To continue the baking theme I would say : the ingredients have been used before but not in this kind of mixture.
What are the plans of Amberian Dawn for the future?
We are planning a new European tour for the fall 2009 and maybe some touring also for the spring 2010. Tuomas has also started to compose new material for the becoming third album.

Wayne Stoddart teams up with St. Matthew the second time around for a timeless roots reggae sing / Deejay combination! Ever wondered what it would sound like to hear Bob Marley or perhaps Peter Tosh on a modern day track with Sillza Kolonji?
Well wonder no more this track exemplifies that combination!! Straight fire from start to finish!!
It's another absolute Genius production from Aston Barrett Jr. of the Wailers (son of Aston Barrett and Nephew of Carlton Barrett). You will hear that Wailers influence on the drum and bass form the prodigy Barrett son!

This is a long and narrow garden set at an angle behind a small terraced house.
The main axis is tilted through 45 degrees and the garden is divided into several different areas, drawing the eye away from the long view and making the garden feel wider.
There is a paved seating and dining area near the house leading through the first of two lawns to a central, dividing pergola clad with climbers. The eye will then be drawn further down the garden towards a bench. At the end, beyond a small arch and trellis screen is the 'utility' area with a shed and a bed around the large Cherry tree retained with a wall of timber sleepers.
The generous planting beds which surround the paved and grassed spaces will be filled with a varied mix of climbers, shrubs, perennials, grasses, ferns and ground cover plants.
