On Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news that the NFL will announce on Thursday that the city of Philadelphia will host the 2017 draft.
Back in April, ESPN reported Philly was the leading contender to host the 2017 draft. On Thursday, it will become official. Philly, 2017.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 31, 2016
After having been hosted in New York for decades, the draft moved to Chicago over the past two years, and now it's starting to become the new "thing" to basically bid on the rights to host the draft.
What is funny about it being hosted in Philly is the fact that Cleveland acquired the Eagles' 2017 first-round pick during this year's draft, as they wanted to move up to select quarterback Carson Wentz at No. 2 overall. That means the city's locals won't even be able to have a vested interest in the first and most buzzworthy day of the draft. Cleveland will be poised to steal all of the thunder, especially if they have two top-10 picks.

When They Die In Goldy's Corner
By Goldy Locks on October 14, 2020
If you're anything like me, you're processing the tragic loss we all just experienced in the rock world.
I was standing in line at the bank when the text from my bandmates came in. Eddie Van Halen had died, and for a moment the world swayed around me. My first reaction was not of sadness or shock; it was anger.
I grew up in the hood around a lot of negative and pessimistic people. I have to try really hard to be positive and have a sunny disposition. So I'm just being real when I say when somebody that's influenced your genre or anything else dies it's easy to make it about you and your loss.
I was saddened by Eddie's death but in my shock and anger. I immediately found myself asking, "well how did he die?"
It shouldn't matter to me, but I get very upset when people that I love or look up to abuse substances and that causes them to leave this world too soon. It's like I feel I've got dibs on them or that they are direct reflections of me in some way. I wish I could have been there to yell at him to quit smoking, or been there to help him in some way. I think a lot of us do this with celebrities or stars: we have our own personal connection to them and feel like they should almost report to us with their decisions on what songs to cut, what to release, how to dress, and even how to live. It seems like many times these days we make things about us. In some ways, that's a beautiful thing – those connections bring meaning and depth to our experience of the art they create. But it can also cause us to miss the reality of what these people are facing and dealing with in their own lives.
He died of throat cancer that he battled for years and a habit I constantly am on my friends to quit. I'd do anything to help a friend see that warning written right on the box. To this day friends who have passed because I didn't speak up haunts me. Now that my anger has passed and I'm able to process it more, I think about how much his family must be hurting right now. I wondered if Valerie Bertinelli would comment, or if other stars would leave their closing thoughts. It's so amazing these days where we can instantly leave our comments on social media and share in experiences like this instantly and globally.
From behind our keyboards or with a click of a button, we can let the world know how we feel, just as I shared above my initial reaction.
I can't help but think back to high school when the kid that no one gave two shits about died. Students could be heard from the locker room sobbing at great length. The same kids who never gave him the time of day when the kid was alive. Why is it that we spend so much time after someone's gone remembering what they were like when they were alive?
Eddie Van Halen left a pretty amazing musical legacy behind. I'm sure he was shredding every step through those golden gates. He was one of the most influential guitarists of our time. I know many people I've played with pattern their entire playing existence after his two-handed tapping technique. And what show wouldn't be complete without the Eruption guitar solo?
Eddie was the Kleenex of tissue. The Xerox of copy machines. He and his "guitar" the perfect rock union. Sandwiched between two great frontmen, Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth he led whatever lineup with dedication and tenacity into a level of success that only many of us can dream of.
His innovation came from classical music theory mixed with flavors from his immigrant parents, thrown into a blender, allowing the world to drink a face-melting cocktail we'd never experienced before. And that deserves the highest accolade ever.
So cheers to you Mr. Van Halen for leaving a legacy so many of us have been touched by. I'm sure Eddie appreciates all the posts, memes, and statements being made, but I ask us all this question? Why is it that we tend to wait until they're gone to sing our praise? Whether it's an actor, performer, or friend or family, why do we save the opportunity to express our love, admiration, and appreciation for the funeral? Can't we find someone every week or even every day to compliment, talk about, or post about? Don't you think it would mean more to them while they're alive to know how they influence and inspire you?
So the next time someone you love dies, don't instantly get angry like I did and make it about you. Instead, raise your glass knowing you supported and promoted that talent while they were living. Download that song instead of just streaming it. Order that vinyl even if you don't have a record player, just to have it. Visit your favorite artist's website and find a bit of swag you can order for yourself or a friend to support them. They may even have a Patreon that you can support and add massive value to their life for as little as a dollar a month. Be proactive and put some thought into who you call your hero, and how you can have their back – right now.

So cheers to you, Eddie. You may have spent life Runnin' With The Devil, but I'm sure by now you "Finish What Ya Started." I'm sure God said, "I'll Wait" because he knows how it feels when "Love Walks In."

I add this text I received from my dear friend Bobby Caps of 38 Special. He sent this as I just finished this article. Somehow, I felt like it was a sign that this article should be published. Thank you, Bobby, and the supporter who wrote this.
Bobby,
With the passing of Larry….and most recently, Edward, I realized that the world I live in, at 54, is far different from the "off-limits" environment of the '70s and '80s…where communication with rock stars was all but impossible.
Given that this weird creature called "social media" now exists, and I CAN send a message to someone like you, I'd rather not wait until some tragic event occurs, to express my thanks….and you are no longer able to hear it.
So….while you are very much alive and kicking, I want to thank you, for your contribution to the music, and the events surrounding that music, that make up the collective soundtrack of my life.
I appreciate it more than you can know. It's bigger than most of us ever realize; until we actually stop, and reflect on it.
Keep on livin'….and rockin'…..and adding more memories to lives around the world!
You're a genuine rock star…for sure. However, your true "star" is in being a Father.

Goldy Locks
Goldy Locks | America's Everywoman It's been surmised that the success of the long-running TV series "Sex and The City" was due to the fact that each of the very distinct characters represents a facet of every woman; the searching and inquisitive Carrie, the highly sensual Samantha, the sensible and objective Miranda, and the sweet girl-next-door Charlotte. Together, they are "everywoman." Former pro wrestling personality, manager and wrestler, entrepreneur and touring musician, Goldy Locks, can be called America's real everywoman … and her multi-faceted real life is prime fodder for endless entertainment. Men want her. Women want to BE her … and mothers want to guide her! She appeared on the CMT television series, "Running Wild with Ted Nugent", has been a reoccurring video contributor for CBS "The Talk", Aired her "dirty laundry" on TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates" and recently the Goldy lockS Band was nominated for a Dove Award on the heels of their conversation starting single, All To You, with 158 mixes currently streaming and a star-studded music video doubling as a Suicide Prevention PSA. Goldy recently returned from an Armed Forces Entertainment tour in Afghanistan where she and her band entertained US troops. She spent 6 years as a pro wrestling manager and interviewer with Spike TV's Total Nonstop Action (TNA)IMPACT Wrestling. She has opened shows for some of the biggest names in rock including The Bret Michael's Band, Saliva, Sevendust, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, One Republic, Collective Soul, Stevie Nicks, Pink, Pat Benatar, Maroon 5, Ted Nugent and Grand Funk Railroad. Goldy currently has a weekly podcast under on WWE's Vince Russo's Brand called Goldy's Closet. Each week on podcast platforms she interviews musical guests, pro athletes, entrepreneurs, health and wellness gurus, entertainers and business owners asking questions that help her audience grow and concentrate on bettering their lives. The show is both entertaining and educational. Tune into all the places you love to listen to your favorite podcast or join RussosBrand.com to watch the action. The Goldy lockS Band has appeared on the following albums: "V" is For Viagra, The Remixes, TNA's Theme Songs, Top Cow Comics The Proximity Effect and Steve O's Jack Ass compilation, selling over a total of 430,000 copies. She currently delivers entertaining, motivating & encouraging content on the band's on Patreon (Patreon.com/GoldyLocks) producing content daily! In 2019, The Goldy lockS Band came together to advocate the prevention of crimes against children. They chose Black, an officially licensed Pearl Jam signature song from one of the most successful catalogs in music history. Their reimagined version of Black is included on Jazz Part Two an album that has been on the Billboard Jazz charts now for 10 weeks peaking at number 2. Jazz Part Two is Locks & Russo's collaboration with the legendary King Tech who is a partner with Sway Calloway & Sirius XM. Mike Smith from BET's TV show One Shot, Dj Khaled, TI Rza produced a compelling visual to help bring awareness to the national abuse hotline. She can be harsh and direct or soft and sweet and her soul is reflected in the songs she writes and performs. Her original "Today I Won't Be Afraid" has been used to raise thousands of dollars for the YWCA, Sole4Souls and breast cancer prevention. It is also the basis for her schools program in which she gives motivational talks to teens and tweens, urging them to pursue their dreams without fear … and without falling prey to drugs, alcohol or reckless sex. She looks like a sexy, hard-rockin' chick, but the avid health nut and advocate of daily prayer stands firmly on her principles. She's also a relentless "punisher" when it comes to injustice and a mere trip to the local Wal-Mart can result in Goldy's public chastising of someone providing poor or disrespectful service, or a parent cruelly disciplining a child. Invariably, however, she'll end up with a new supporter. She lives life out loud, lays it on the line, and does it without apology … and in 5 languages! She's driven, professional, a neat-freak and an occasional hot mess, a hard-bodied fitness fanatic and tender heart looking for love but willing to stand on her own.

The Runewars Miniatures Game from Fantasy Flight Games is due for release in the next few weeks.
One of the differences between Runewars and other games is the playing area. Rather than the 'standard' 6′ x 4′ table, Runewars uses a 6′ x 3′ table – the same size as the 'epic' X-Wing game.
Anticipating the release of the new game, Deep Cut Studio are releasing a new set of 6′ x 3′ gaming mats.

EWTN Signs Contract to Show Footprints of God!!
I am very pleased to announce that EWTN, Ignatius Press and myself have reached an agreement to air the Footprints of God DVDs on EWTN Television for the next seven years. This has been in the works for many years and it is now a reality. I thank Mark Brumley and Tony Ryan from Ignatius Press and John Elson from EWTN for their patience, hard work and careful deliberations.
I will now be flying to Phoenix to work with Joe Reynolds at Skyline Productions to edit the series for TV. They should begin airing in a few months. This is big news and we are all very excited!
I know your production about the Life of Mary produced by Ignatius Press had helped this cradle Catholic reconnect to the Church and our Blessed Mother! I am excited to see the new Footprints of God series on EWTN and share the message with my non-Catholic family and friends.
Steve, Congratulations! This will be wonderful for people of faith everywhere! The Lord clearly is blessing your efforts.
Greetings from Australia to you and your wonderful wife and children. I just finished watching your talk on EWTN, 17 July 2008 in Brisbane Australia and was truly touched by you and your wife's conversion story and your great Enthusiasm to produce the "God's Footprints" videos. Thank you very much for all your effort to bring more people home from the spiritual wilderness. We are praying for great people like you and Dr. Scott Hahn and many others who have joyfully come home to your Catholic Family and are doing great work for the church.
May God bless you and your family richly in everything you do for our Heavenly Father and His beloved Son Jesus Christ. We especially thank the Holy Spirit for His guidance and inspiration in helping you to get this wonderful project going for the Glory of God.
I can't wait to view your tapes.
When does the new series start in Sept?
The series starts on September 1 on EWTN. It will air weekly on Mondays at 2:30 PM and Fridays at 10:30 PM.
We were so excited to see your show last week on EWTN as we just came back from Israel, Jordon and Egypt 2 weeks ago! What a wonderful way to review our trip of a lifetime! We ordered the 7 DVD's so that we can review it all. Your show not only reviewed where we went but also gave us more in depth connection with the old and new testaments. Keep up the good work and let us know of any new developments.


This week's episode was still pretty interesting. Rintarou's interactions with Amadeus are really fun, and I'm curious to see whether there's something more going on beneath them. The episode's first and final scenes make me wonder how much focus the romantic element between Mayuri and Rintarou will get. I'm not sure I'm okay with that yet.
You know...to anyone passing by, I bet Rintarou looks like he's got some kind of digital girlfriend app or something.
I feel like I should be suspecting something from this conversation, but I'm blanking.
Amadeus Kurisu is really cute in this scene. But what is she pushing? Some kind of relationship between Maho and Rintarou?
I thought this scene where Suzu pushes down her mother was especially funny. It's probably because it ends up looking like it could be one of the most wacky renditions of the grandfather paradox I've seen.
Ouch. I know Rintarou seems like the kind of person who wouldn't have a girlfriend, but that was harsh.
Maho's strong reaction here makes me wonder if she's gone through the same thing that Rintarou's going through now. I mean...she's known about Amadeus Kurisu for a while now, right? Or did I miss some statement that Rintarou was the first experiment?


Secret U.S. government cables show a stunning willingness by senior Canadian officials to appease American demands for a U.S.-style copyright law here.
The documents describe Canadian officials as encouraging American lobbying efforts. They also cite cabinet minister Maxime Bernier raising the possibility of showing U.S. officials a draft bill before tabling it in Parliament.
The cables, from the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, even have a policy director for then industry minister Tony Clement suggesting it might help U.S. demands for a tough copyright law if Canada were placed among the worst offenders on an international piracy watch list. Days later, the U.S. placed Canada alongside China and Russia on the list.
The documents, released by WikiLeaks, are the backdrop to a 2010 Conservative copyright bill that virtually adopted the U.S. government's rigid enforcement of "digital locks" on DVDs, CDs and e-books.
Digital locks are the technology that, for example, prevent DVDs from being copied and make it impossible to view a disc from India on a North American disc player.
With few exceptions, American law makes it illegal to override digital locks in any way.
Many consumer groups describe the American approach as draconian.
When Canada proposed a similar law on digital locks in 2010, education groups noted that it would have prevented students from copying short segments of electronic books to use in classroom assignments.
The Canadian bill died when the May 2 election was called. A new copyright bill is expected to be introduced when Parliament resumes. Judging by past willingness to bow to U.S. pressure, few will be surprised if it mirrors the 2010 effort.
The U.S. cables describe a December 2006 meeting between Bernier, industry minister at the time, and then U.S. ambassador David Wilkins.
"Bernier also stated that the final copyright legislation 'would be in line' with US (government) priorities, but was not specific," says the U.S. Embassy cable.
"Bernier promised to keep the Ambassador informed on the copyright bill's progress, and indicated that US (government) officials might see the legislation after it is approved by Cabinet, but before it is introduced in Parliament," the cable adds.
Bernier also "encouraged the Ambassador to speak publicly about the importance of (intellectual property rights) to the United States, saying such efforts would improve the chances of Cabinet and Parliament approving a good copyright bill," the cable says.
Bernier never had a chance to leak the bill; he was shuffled to the foreign affairs portfolio before it was tabled. But other officials did provide the U.S. with confidential information.
A 2007 cable reveals that Ailish Johnson, working in the Privy Council Office, told U.S. officials that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's "mandate letters" to new industry minister Jim Prentice and new Canadian heritage minister Josée Verner charged both with introducing a copyright reform bill before the end of the year. The content of ministerial mandate letters is not public information.
"In contrast to the messages from other Canadian officials, she said that if Canada is elevated to the Special 301 Priority Watch List (PWL), it would not hamper — and might even help — the (government of Canada's) ability to enact copyright legislation," the cable says.
Several WikiLeaks cables released earlier this year chronicle the sustained U.S. lobbying effort on copyright.
In a June 2005 cable, the U.S. talks about the "need to engage the legislative branch as well as relevant departments." It also proposes creating a bilateral working group and offers to conduct training sessions for Canadian officials.
A June 2006 cable discusses meetings with Bernier and then heritage minister Bev Oda. A March 2007 cable reports on repeated meetings and attempts to elevate the issue as a top priority.
The cables hint that the U.S. appears to be aware of legislative initiatives before almost anyone else.
Another previously unreleased confidential 2009 cable discusses Canadian plans for an intellectual property enforcement bill separate from the copyright reform bill.
The source of that cable is unknown.
A confidential 2007 cable reveals Andris Zarins, the RCMP's former national coordinator for intellectual property crime, told U.S. Embassy officials that the government was drafting legislation to grant customs officers new seizure powers for counterfeit products, and that it planned to create a national coordination office on intellectual property crime.
The government has never confirmed or discussed the existence of such a bill.

Q: How can I add a new button into a group with CKEditor I am using the following configuration:
config.toolbarGroups = [
        { name: 'document', groups: ['mode', 'document', 'doctools', 'maximize'] },
        { name: 'clipboard',   groups: [ 'clipboard', 'undo' ] },
        { name: 'editing',     groups: [ 'find', 'selection', 'spellchecker' ] },
        { name: 'forms' },
        { name: 'basicstyles', groups: [ 'basicstyles', 'cleanup' ] },
        { name: 'paragraph',   groups: [ 'list', 'indent', 'blocks', 'align', 'bidi', 'justify' ] },
        // { name: 'links' },
        { name: 'insert' },
        { name: 'styles' },
        { name: 'colors' },
        { name: 'tools' },
        { name: 'others' }
        // ,
        //{ name: 'about' }
    ];

    // The default plugins included in the basic setup define some buttons that
    // we don't want too have in a basic editor. We remove them here.
    // config.removeButtons = 'Cut,Copy,Paste,Undo,Redo,Anchor,Underline,Strike,Subscript,Superscript';
    config.removeButtons = 'Strike,Subscript,Superscript';

    // Let's have it basic on dialogs as well.
    config.removeDialogTabs = 'link:advanced';

    config.extraPlugins = 'insertpre,format,justify,maximize';

Everything works okay but the maximize button always goes on the second row of the toolbar. Is there a way I can make it so maximize combines next to some other buttons such as the insertpre button?

A: You got to configure your toolbar item by item to control the exact position of each single button. By default, Maximize belongs to tools group so you can also put the whole group onto the top of the toolbar like this:
config.toolbarGroups = [
        { name: 'document', groups: [ 'tools', 'mode', 'document', 'doctools', 'maximize'] },
        ...
];

Scholars are able to travel anywhere in the world for a period of no less than 8 weeks to further their knowledge and understanding of their chosen study topic.
Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as a major issue for human and veterinary health. There is concern that antimicrobial resistance in animals could potentially transfer to people. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the use of antimicrobials in food producing animals. Methods to achieve this are vaccinations, good management and good nutrition.
Talking about his project, Mark said "The phrase 'good animal nutrition is key to animal health' is frequently used, but possibly misunderstood. If the needs of an animal (energy, protein, vitamins and minerals) are met, the diet meets the term 'good nutrition.' Therefore, 'feeding for health' is a more appropriate phrase for my project."
"The aim of my study is to examine novel solutions to reduce the need to use antimicrobials in food producing animals, particularly cattle. Could new feed technologies and solutions that show promise in in-vitro lab work have practical applications to increase animal health? In addition, I would like to explore current solutions used by the feed industry to identify where these can be adopted by other species, for example, some of the products used in poultry and swine may have practical applications in ruminants."
"I would like to unite the veterinary and nutrition industries to work together to find solutions to antimicrobial resistance, as I believe there is not enough collaborative work at present. Working together will produce new thoughts and ideas that will make a difference for famers and food producers. This will result a reduction in usage of antibiotics, increased food animal welfare, safer high quality food and increased consumer confidence in UK animal products."

What are the Implications of Reactor Type on Control?
Reactors involving liquid reactants can be categorized as continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR), batch, fed-batch (semi-batch or semi continuous), and plug flow. In continuous reactors, there is a continuous discharge of product flow. A level controller is used in the CSTR to maintain a level that provides enough reaction time for a given production rate. In batch and fed-batch reactors, the discharge valve is closed until the batch is ready to transfer. A gas product or byproduct may be continuously generated during the batch and condensed and accumulated in an overhead system. A liquid and/or solids phase reaction without a continuous liquid and/or solids discharge flow is the distinguishing characteristic of batch and fed-batch. The implications as to dynamics, yield, and inventory control are significant.
The table below summarizes how the dynamic response, residence time, reaction rate and controlled variables vary with reactor type as discussed in the following sections. The reactor types considered are batch, fed-batch, plug flow, gas flow, and continuous stirred reactors.
A continuous stirred reactor has a slow near-integrating response due to the residence time becoming a large primary time constant from good back mixing. A batch and fed-batch reactor has a slow true integrating response. A continuous plug flow reactor has a moderate self-regulating response for temperature control by manipulation of coolant due to the thermal time constant introduced by heat transfer surfaces. Inline polymerization reactors, static mixers, extruders, and gas reactors (e.g. fluidized bed reactors) are considered to be plug flow because there is negligible back mixing (negligible axial mixing). In gas reactors (e.g. fluidized bed reactors) feeds can be manipulated for temperature control because the reaction kinetics are so fast that there is little or no inverse response at the points chosen for temperature control. For these systems, coolant coils are switched in and out of service to set capacity. The process response is still moderate self-regulating when temperature manipulates feed due to the thermowell time constant. All of these reactors can develop a runaway response when the increase in reaction heat release with temperature exceeds the cooling capability.
Insight: Temperature control of a continuous stirred reactor has a slow near-integrating response, a batch reactor has a slow true integrating response, and a continuous plug flow reactor has a fast moderate self-regulating response. All reactors can develop a runaway response if the exothermic reaction heat release rate exceeds the cooling rate capability.
The use of an analyzer with a large sample, cycle, and/or multiplex time almost guarantees dead time dominance (total loop dead time larger than open loop time constant) for composition control of continuous, plug flow, and gas reactors. Inferential measurements, online analyzers and fast at-line analyzers are used to minimize the introduction of excessive dead time into concentration control.
Insight: The use of slow at-line analyzers for concentration control of continuous reactors can create a dead time dominant loop.
The introduction of a slow temperature sensor or slow analyzer can be disastrous for reactors that can develop a runaway response. The dead time or secondary time constant must be much smaller than the primary positive feedback time constant otherwise the window of allowable controller gains closes causing instability for all tuning settings. Fouling of heat transfer surfaces for coolant and for thermowells add an excessive secondary time constant. Slow analyzers add excessive dead time.
Insight: The fouling of heat transfer surfaces and a long sample transportation cycle time or multiplex time can cause a reactor with runaway a response to be unstable for all tuning settings.
Sometimes fed-batch is called semi-batch or semi-continuous. However, there is an important distinction between fed-batch and continuous reactors; in that in fed-batch as in batch reactors there is no liquid product discharge flow until the end of the batch. The lack of a liquid discharge flow is an integrating response and a rise in level with reactant addition. The increase in level from the start to the finish of the batch and the lack of self-regulation as a result of the closed discharge valve affects the dynamic response of temperature and composition requiring tuning methods and settings not commonly discussed in the control literature. For example, a temperature controller gain of 50 or more is possible for fed-batch reactors.
The measurement and control of biological and chemical reactors is the key to product quality and the yield and production rate of most processes in the process industry. See Greg McMillan's ISA book Advances in Reactor Measurement and Control for an extensive view of practical opportunities for building and effectively using online estimators to improve process knowledge and control.
Residence time is critical for reactors; it determines the amount of time available for reaction by virtue of the reactants being in contact with each other. The reaction time must be less than the residence time for the reaction to go to completion. If the residence time is too long, undesirable reactions and product degradation may occur. For maximum yield, the residence time should be slightly larger than the reaction time with a tight residence time distribution (statistical plot of each component population versus residence time should be a narrow peak). For maximum capacity and minimum capital cost, the residence time should be as small and the distribution as tight as possible since residence time is proportional to cycle time and volume.
Insight: For maximum process efficiency and capacity and minimum capital cost, the residence time should be slightly larger than reaction time with an extremely tight residence time distribution.
For batch operations the batch cycle time is extended past the feed phase via a hold phase to ensure the reaction is complete. The residence time is the average volume divided by average feed rate during the feed phase plus the time in the hold phase. For pure batch operations where all of the feeds are added quickly and simultaneously, all of the components are in the reactor for about the same time making the residence time distribution tight.
In fed-batch operations the feeds are added via a cascade control and ratio control system. Typically, a primary loop for concentration control is manipulating the setpoint of a secondary loop for the leader feed flow. The other feed flows have setpoints ratioed to the leader feed flow setpoint. The rate of feed addition for fed-batch operation is slower and nonlinear. The difference from one batch to another is not seen in the concentration profile but in the profile of the manipulated feed flows if the cascade control system is doing a good job. The residence time of components added early in the feed phase is longer adding a slight degree of uncertainty in the residence time distribution. Batch operations are considered here to be well-mixed so that turnover time is negligible. The downside of batch operations is a greater equipment cost to achieve the same capacity as continuous operations.
Insight: Batch operations assure a residence time greater than the reaction time and an extremely tight residence time distribution but offer less capacity than continuous operations.
The overall residence time for continuous operations is the current operating volume divided by the total flow rate passing through the volume. Some tuning methods for surge tank level control inadvertently use a definition of residence time as the maximum volume divided by the maximum change in flow set by equipment size, level connection location, and PID scale ranges. At high production rates, the residence time gets shorter for reactions unless the level setpoint is increased accordingly.
Insight: The residence time for continuous operations is the operating volume divided by the total flow.
A plug flow reactor has no back mixing (axial mixing). Polymer plug flow reactors use inline equipment such as pipes or tube(s). In static mixers baffles create some radial mixing. In extruders, a screw pushes a viscous liquid and solids to the exit. Since there is no back mixing all of the components in the reaction mass exit at the same time that is equal to the transportation delay. All of the residence time becomes a process dead time. A plug flow reactor is similar to a fed-batch reactor in that there is generally no level control and the residence time distribution is extremely tight. If you consider a subsection of the reaction mass moving from the entrance to the exit, there is no discharge from this volume until the subsection approaches the exit.
Insight: The residence time in plug flow reactors is a transportation delay and the residence time distribution is tight.
Polymerization processes often use batch and plug flow reactors operating with high viscosities. For highly viscous products the residence distribution is not as tight. Product can accumulate on the vessel walls in batch reactors. The velocity near the pipe wall in plug flow reactors is slower from frictional drag causing the product near the wall to arrive later. The increase in time available for reaction increases the viscosity of the fluid near the wall aggravating the problem.
Gas phase reactors are generally always continuous plug flow reactors. Many use fluidized catalyst beds. There is little to no back mixing except from turbulence. Consequently, the residence time distribution is tight for even catalyst distribution, the dynamic response to changes in reactant feed is a transportation delay similar to the plug flow liquid reactor except the reaction times are faster and the residence time shorter from a much higher velocity. Channeling of gas flows through the catalyst bed can result in some gases arriving at the outlet sooner reducing residence time and conversion for some portions of the exiting gas product.
Insight: The residence time of gas phase reactors is fast and tight for an even flow distribution.
In a continuous stirred reactor some of the reactants appear in the discharge within one turnover time, which in general is less than 1/20 of the residence time in a well-mixed vessel. The residence time becomes a large primary time constant causing a near integrating response. The amount of time spent by a given component in the reactor varies resulting in a looser residence time distribution and a loss in yield in the CSTR. Reactor designs with a liquid height about equal to the diameter, baffles to prevent swirling, axial agitation pattern that breaks the surface, and a dip tube design to bring reactants into the eye of the impeller; away from discharge nozzles to avoid short circuiting have a tighter residence distribution. Several CSTR in series or a reactant recovery and recycle system can be used to improve the yield of the production unit particularly for slow reactions and high purity requirements. However the use of a recycle system creates an integrating response and increases the propensity for buildup of inerts and impurities requiring the optimization of recycle flow and a purge flow for the best yield.
The implications of reactor type should be recognized. The effect on dynamic response, allowable measurement lags and delays, controller tuning, and control strategies is significant.

KEYWORDS ferritic nitrocarburizing / mechanical properties / porosity / post-oxidation / process control
Ferritic-nitrocarburizing (FNC) processing is becoming a more common alternative to coating processes that require improved mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion, often on plain-carbon and low-alloy steels.
The addition of nitrogen (N2) and carbon into the steel structure improves corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the steel component by forming nitrides, carbonitrides and even carbides with iron.[1] These compounds are stable at room temperature, preventing or delaying the formation of rust in corrosive environments.
Identified as a major contribution to enhanced corrosion resistance, post-oxidation of ferritic-nitrocarburized steel is used to improve corrosion in service. There are different methods of oxidizing the steel after this heat-treatment process. The additional corrosion resistance can be achieved through oxidation of any free iron at the surface that did not form one of the aforementioned nitrogen/carbon compounds.
Parts that are FNC processed have a typical metal appearance without much luster. Depending on how the FNC is performed, the process can also produce a matte finish, but generally the parts are gray/silver in color. The post-oxidation process produces a dark gray color that can appear black when coated with oil, which may be appealing for the part.
Many commercial heat-treat companies claim that a specific (usually trademarked) FNC process with post-oxidation is better than other processes with respect to enhanced property performance. Most commonly, this "advantage" refers specifically to corrosion resistance. The definition of corrosion resistance is typically associated with salt-spray testing. As a result, this is how corrosion resistance is usually defined in specifications and drawings.
As process controls and sensors improve and become more capable of selectively measuring and controlling parameters, guesswork can be removed from the process and allow for predictable and repeatable control.
Because many different processes are used for post-oxidation, there is specific interest in controlling the post-oxidation process using multiple oxidation methods and understanding if appearance and corrosion resistance is specific to one process over another. In order to fully understand this, it is necessary to control the oxygen potential. Of course, there are other factors that weigh in on the success of the FNC and post-oxidation process, which are also of interest when looking at these processes and controllable parameters.
The FNC process simultaneously introduces both nitrogen and carbon into the part while in the ferritic state (hence the name). Typical FNC processing temperatures vary between 1000°F and 1100°F (538-593°C). Process cycles can range from one hour up to 24 hours, depending on the application requirements. With this lower operating temperature and no requirement for quenching (the microstructure is developed prior to the FNC process), there is good dimensional control with FNC compared to other case-hardening processes.
The control parameters for nitrogen and carbon concentrations in gas FNC are nitriding potential (KN), and carburizing potential (KC), respectively. The ability to control these parameters offers process repeatability. Ammonia (NH3) is the one gas used for delivering nitrogen to steel in gas FNC. The carbon-bearing gas can vary and usually depends on the gas availability, safety requirements, storage requirements and other similar factors. Common hydrocarbon gases used in FNC include endothermic gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and natural gas (i.e., methane, CH4).
Ammonia dissociates on ferrous surfaces, and the nitriding potential is then defined as this partial pressure of gases shown:
When a hydrocarbon is added, there is also an equilibrium established between gases. The most dominant reaction providing carbon to the steel is the heterogeneous water-gas reaction:[1]
The carburizing potential for the heterogeneous water-gas reaction is then defined as the partial pressure of gases shown here:[1]
Other reactions that occur during FNC include the Boudouard reaction:[1]
and the methane reaction:[1]
The carburizing potential for the Boudouard reaction (KCB) and methane reaction (KC-CH4) give a different value than the carburizing potential for the heterogeneous water-gas reaction. Therefore, the specific carburizing potential must be identified.
Control of the KN is commonly through the use of an in-situ hydrogen analyzer and the precise measurements of the incoming gas flows. Although not always required for the calculation of KN, the gas flows provide the ability to blend with gases that would dilute the H2 since the KN is calculated as a partial pressure of the amount of H2 to NH3 present.
The evaluation of the KC parameter is accomplished by measuring the partial pressure of CO, CO2 and CH4 using a nondispersive infrared analyzer (NDIR). The partial pressure of H2O can be calculated through the partial pressure of the H2 and partial pressure of oxygen (O2) using an in-situ oxygen probe. Similar to the KN calculation, gas flows must be known and factored into the calculation so the dilution of the atmosphere is properly calculated.
There is significant variation in the flow ratios used for FNC processing.
• 95:5 to 50:50 NH3:endo is typical when using endothermic gas as the hydrocarbon.
• 95:5 to 60:40 NH3:CO2 is typical when CO2 is the only hydrocarbon.
• 95:5 to 70:30 NH3:CH4 is typical when natural gas is the hydrocarbon.
Gas-flow ratio is very common in the industry today. This type of control is still accepted in most applications, but the requirement of KC control is starting to become more prevalent. Currently, the only industry standard defining recommended KC values is AMS 2759/12.
The compound layer (white layer) formed during the FNC process consists of nitrides, carbonitrides and carbides. The porosity of the white layer is a function of its nitrogen concentration and its proximity to the surface to produce thermodynamic instability. It is affected by KN and KC (i.e., the gas composition) during the process. As iron nitrides decompose back into iron and nascent nitrogen, the nitrogen bonds with itself to form diatomic nitrogen (N2). N2 is stable as a gas and will diffuse back into the furnace atmosphere, leaving porosity in the white layer.[3] Porosity can also be formed during cooling because the saturation limit of the white layer decreases with temperature.[1]
Porosity is thought to be both beneficial and detrimental to corrosion resistance. While porosity can trap oil and retain it in service to protect the part from a corrosive environment, a porous white layer is also more susceptible to cracking and/or breaking, leading to corrosion (which is why proper controls are required). Therefore, balance must be achieved for each application.
Post-Oxidation
Post-oxidation of a part that has been heat treated with a gas FNC process provides additional corrosion resistance and can improve wear properties by reducing the coefficient of friction.[1]
Post-oxidation after an FNC process is not necessary, but doing so delivers a finish and color that may be desirable. With post-oxidation, the goal is to achieve Fe3O4 (magnetite) – a form of iron-oxide that is stable and forms a dark gray/black color. Post-oxidation typically takes place at 850-1000°F (454-538°C), with that step of the process ranging up to 60 minutes. Some of the more common media for providing post-oxidation are air, H2O, oxygen (O2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Which media is used varies due to availability, safety and ease of control for the process. There are some claims that one type of media produces an oxide that performs better with respect to corrosion resistance.
Lack of control in the post-oxidation process can lead to undesirable results. Not enough oxygen during the process can lead to gray parts, witness marks on parts and "shadowing," where the color of a part varies based on the racking configuration. If too much oxygen is available, hematite (Fe2O3) can form, affecting the color of the parts and possibly the corrosion resistance.
Case Study[2]
As mentioned previously, there is interest in the differences between the different types of post-oxidation processes and media used to perform the process. Part preparation, material type, FNC cycle and post-processes will all play a role in the evaluated performance of a part. Our case study used the same material processed under two FNC cycles, which was then divided out into groups for a secondary post-oxidation step. All parts were cleaned to remove dirt, debris, grease, oil and water. The purpose of running two FNC cycles was to generate variance in porosity with both tests having the same white-layer thickness. The targeted white layer was 15-20µm. Following the post-oxidation, the parts were cooled and stored to prevent any corrosion.
Five different oxidation processes were performed. Parts were heated up to 1000°F (538°C) in a N2 atmosphere. Once the parts were stable, the oxidizing media was introduced into the furnace. An atmosphere of 10-25 percent O2 was targeted. The parts were processed in this atmosphere for approximately one hour for each oxidation cycle. The oxidation media used for testing included air, oxygen (O2), nitrous oxide (N2O), water (H2O) and quench into a water-oil mixture. Oxygen was measured using an in-situ oxygen probe. Upon completion of the process, parts were cooled to 150°F (66°C).
Half of the parts from each process group were coated with a solvent-based rust-preventive oil (RPO). The parts were submerged in the oil for several minutes and then removed and allowed to dry.
Two pieces of each test group were sent out for salt-spray testing, which was performed in accordance with ASTM B117. The samples were not cleaned prior to test and were tested at approximately 30 degrees from the vertical, parallel to the flow of the fog. When more than 10% corrosion was visible on the surface of the sample, the test was terminated for that sample. The test was terminated for the remaining samples after 408 hours.
Two samples of each experiment (12 experiment categories in all) were sent for salt-spray analysis. All of the dry samples failed after 72 hours of exposure to the salt, except for one of the samples oxidized in air. Most of the RPO samples lasted for the duration of the test with less than 10% corrosion or no corrosion at all.
No type of oxygen-bearing media appears to be more beneficial over another with respect to corrosion resistance. The oxygen potential can be controlled with an in-situ oxygen probe for consistency from load to load to create a specific oxide compound as well as help prevent appearance inconsistencies.
From the test results, we can draw the conclusion that the use of a rust-preventive treatment prior to corrosion testing will provide the best results as it relates to salt-spray testing. Our testing also shows that multiple oxidation processes can be used with a controllable process variable that will allow for equal corrosion resistance with a slight difference in appearance.

What Do Angel Investors Like To See Initially From Entrepreneurs?
By Live Free and Start on December 14, 2016 in Video Blogs
Angel Investors really want to see that someone has commitment and passion for the company they're funding. Everyone has ideas, but what translates ideas into an actual business is commitment and passion for that idea.
As a founder of a company you have probably seven jobs and each one of those jobs is full-time. You're going to have to live, eat, breathe, and sleep that idea, that business, in order to get it to turn into something big. That's the fundamental trait that I look for in entrepreneurs.

Q: Optimize Django Query in loop with branch I'm working on a Django project, on a certain view I want to retrieve all the payment orders for all clients, and its payment.
The main query is this one:
orders = PaymentOrder.objects.filter(
    created_date__gte=init_date, created_date__lte=end_date
).values(
    'invoice_sat__comp_folio', 'created_date', 'client__name',
    'client__last_name', 'total', 'status', 'pk', 'client__pk'
).order_by('-created_date')

Also, I want the paid amount for each Order, and I'm doing this:
for order in orders:
    order_payments = Payment.objects.filter(
        order__pk=order['pk']
    ).values('amount').aggregate(total=Sum('amount'))
    if order_payments['total'] is not None:
        to_pay = order['total'] - order_payments['total']
    else:
        to_pay = order['total']
    order.update(to_pay=to_pay)

The problem here is, the template takes a very long time to load, I have something like 15,000 results. Is there any way to optimize the query, or, to update the extra info (amount to pay) of the orders.
Thanks a lot!
MODELS UPDATE:
class PaymentOrder(models.Model):
    STATUS = (
        (0, "Por Pagar"),
        (1, "Pagado"),
    )
    client = models.ForeignKey(Client, verbose_name='Cliente')
    invoice_sat = models.ForeignKey(InvoiceSAT, blank=True, null=True)
    invoice_period = models.DateField(verbose_name="Periodo de     Facturación")
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='Fecha de Creacion',
                                    default=datetime.datetime.now(),
                                    db_index=True)
    cancelled_date = models.DateField(verbose_name='Fecha de Cancelacion',
                                  default=None, null=True, blank=True)
    due_date = models.DateField(verbose_name="Fecha de Vencimiento")
    status = models.IntegerField(max_length=1, choices=STATUS, default=0)
    subtotal = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2,
                               verbose_name='Subtotal', default=0)
    total = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2,
                            verbose_name="Cantidad", default=0)

class Payment(models.Model):
    order = models.ForeignKey(PaymentOrder, verbose_name='Orden de Pago')
    payment_date = models.DateField(verbose_name="Fecha de Pago")
    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2,
                             verbose_name="Cantidad a pagar")

A: select_related might be what you want, which would let you avoid hitting the db for each iteration in that for loop.
orders = PaymentOrder.objects.filter(
    created_date__gte=init_date, created_date__lte=end_date
).order_by('-created_date').select_related('payment') # one giant hit to the db
for order in orders:
    order_payments = order.payment_set.values('amount').aggregate(total=Sum('amount'))
        #uses data already pulled from select_related so does not hit db

San Carlos, Calif., USA, December 5, 2018 -- eMotorWerks, a subsidiary of the Enel Group's new advanced energy services business line Enel X, and LO3 Energy, an innovative company that facilitates local energy marketplaces through advanced digital services, have launched a partnership to use JuiceNet's smart-grid control technology for a series of microgrid + EVs projects with the joint goal of exploring high-value use cases for local energy markets.
An initial project will connect the JuiceNet EV charging platform to one of LO3's transactive energy marketplaces, activating local renewable energy to be traded between the microgrid and electric vehicle owners. LO3's Exergy™ platform underpins the data exchange that enables price signals and peer-to-peer transactions while the eMotorWerks JuiceNet platform enables control over local energy flows, matching in real time and in small groups the local demand from EVs and households with the local supply of green, affordable energy.
eMotorWerks' JuiceNet platform allows users to remotely monitor and schedule their EV charging for the most cost-effective times of the day and earn rewards for providing a variety of energy services, both locally and through energy markets. JuiceNet also allows users to schedule EV charging when surplus electricity from the local, domestic, solar rooftop system is available for grid export or at times when high levels of renewable energy generation are available. When integrated into a community microgrid, these functions can become a part of the transactive energy solution for maximizing choice for energy consumers.
