The Grace Brethren School girls basketball team won the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference Championship for the seventh time in the past eight years, edging Oakcrest, 63-50, in overtime on Saturday night at Trinity University in the District.
After losing to Grace Brethren twice during the regular season, Oakcrest led for the final 12 minutes of regulation time until Grace Brethren eighth-grader Jade Scaife nailed consecutive free throws to tie the score at 45-45 with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Oakcrest led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter until Grace Brethren seventh-grader and tournament MVP Lynee' Belton engineered a quick turnaround. Belton scored nine of her team-high 21 points in the fourth quarter and shot 11 of 15 from the foul line.
Middle school students are allowed to play for varsity teams in the PVAC, a private school league. Grace Brethren (20-1) will move on to play in the Maryland Christian Schools Tournament against Chapelgate Christian, the only team the Eagles lost to this season.

"Nigerians Should Embrace Carpentry, Plumbing" – Chris Ngige
Chris Ngige advises Nigerians to embrace blue collar jobs
Nigeria's Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has advised Nigerians to carpentry, plumbing, and not focus only on white collar jobs.
Ngige believes Nigeria's high unemployment rate can be greatly reduced if more Nigerians embrace blue collar jobs that are largely neglected.
He made this known during an interview on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, April 24, 2019.
The Minister noted that the Federal Government has an established vocational skills policy, but that Nigerians think blue collar jobs are beneath their status. He said;
"It (unemployment) was an issue and that was why we did an advocacy and told people not to look at only the white collar jobs. There are blue collar jobs. Skills. You have to train your hands. You have to do plumbing, carpentry, tailoring.
"We had to do the vocational skills policy. The NDE (National Directorate of Employment), one of my parastatals, has at least three or four vocational skills programmes.
"We have our specialist skills centres in Lagos, Ibadan, Kaduna, Bauchi, Calabar, Warri, Enugu, and all over the federation.
"We now have many in collaboration with the state governments. We send them people to train them. And people come in there as apprentice and after we finish with them, we empower them.
"But the problem is that, how many people are ready to come there and train?
"They regard those jobs as jobs that don't befit people's status, but it's not true. We're counselling people that going to do these jobs doesn't make you an inferior person.
"But here, everybody wants a (white) collar job. They want to stay in air-conditioned office. They want to work in the bank or oil companies and nothing less than that."
Chris Ngige had earlier said he is not worried that doctors are leaving the country to work abroad.

My first gas stop was in Kingman, AZ, which was about 330 miles from home using I-40. It has been a while since I was in Kingman, but it is a big enough town that I figured there had to be a brewery there. Google informed me that Black Bridge Brewery was only a couple miles from the gas station I was at, so I set it in my GPS for a seven minute drive.
Black Bridge Brewery just celebrated their 5 year anniversary, and fill their 20+ taps with a 3-bbl system. They have everything from a blonde, helles, and hefewiesen to a Belgian quad and a tripel, with several types of IPAs, porters, stouts and a few nitro brews. As I am traveling solo, and it was still pretty early I opted to not get a flight and got their Rival IPA; it made me wish I had time for a flight. It was very well done, especially considering the rustic brewhouse they were using.
Black Bridge Brewery is located at 421 E. Beale Street in Kingman. They are open seven days a week, are dog friendly and offer growlers to go.
After leaving Kingman I headed east on I-40 for a two hour drive to Flagstaff. When I first planned this trip, I knew I would spend the night in Flagstaff; but I had planned on visiting Mother Road Brewing. Of course, they are closed on Mondays, so I hit up a Facebook beer group that I knew had a lot of members from Arizona. Several people suggested Dark Sky Brewing, and I am glad they did.
Dark Sky Brewing opened in May of 2015. This is another brewery with a 3-bbl system, and lots of fermenters to keep their 17 taps flowing; well, to be honest, one was sold out when I arrived, but that left 16 taps to choose from.
One thing I had been warned about, is that Dark Sky likes to make new beers; so whatever I had today, probably will not be available to you in another couple of weeks. I had a couple flights of four and was really impressed with most of them. From Colorado With Love, Limōn, and Hiline Jalapeno were outstanding; but their tequila barrel-aged IPA, Tequiling Me Softly really had me going. I would have no hesitation recommending them. They may be my new favorite Arizona brewery.
Dark Sky Brewing is located at 117 N Beaver Street in Flagstaff. They are open seven days a week and have a permanent food truck on their back patio. They are dog friendly and offer growlers to go. Thank you to Niko and Chelsey for a great experience. Cheers!

A: Found a solution by using custom class for export button.
<exportButton name="export_button" class="Vendor\Module\Component\ExportButton">
    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
        <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="options_custom" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="cvs" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="value" xsi:type="string">csv</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">CSV</item>
                    <item name="url" xsi:type="string">vendor_module/product/gridtocsv</item>
                </item>
            </item>
        </item>
    </argument>
</exportButton>

/**

class ExportButton extends \Magento\Ui\Component\ExportButton
{
    /**
     * @return void
     */
    public function prepare()
    {
        $context = $this->getContext();
        $config = $this->getData('config');
        if (isset($config['options'])) {
            $options = [];
            foreach ($config['options'] as $option) {
                /*Removed xml from here*/
                if($option['value'] != 'xml'){
                    $additionalParams = $this->getAdditionalParams($config, $context);
                    $option['url'] = $this->urlBuilder->getUrl($option['url'], $additionalParams);
                    $options[] = $option;
                }
            }
            $config['options'] = $options;
            $this->setData('config', $config);
        }
        parent::prepare();
    }
}

A: Add a class to exportButton component:
<exportButton name="export_button" class="Vendor\Module\Ui\Component\ExportButton">

And create a class which extends Magento component:

namespace Vendor\Module\Ui\Component;

class ExportButton extends \Magento\Ui\Component\ExportButton
{
    public function prepare()
    {
        $config = $this->getConfig();
        $options = $config['options'];

        if (!array_key_exists('xml', $options)) {
            parent::prepare();
            return;
        }

        unset($options['xml']);

        $config['options'] = $options;

        $this->setConfig($config);

        parent::prepare();
    }
}

    </argument>
</exportButton>

Now you need to create one js and template file on this path..

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is not far away and will place a strong burden on organisations to protect data! If you use online surveys to collect any kind of personal information, you need to know how to create GDPR compliant surveys. This guide will show you how in a few simple steps!
It is really easy to sign up and start collecting data, however, with the change in legislation taking place on 25 May, you need to know if the surveys you are sending out are GDPR compliant. This assurance will give your respondents the peace of mind that they have greater control over how their personal data is being used.
If your survey is asking for any type of personal information, you need to gain explicit consent from the respondent. This can be very easily done by inserting a question at the start of the survey explaining the type of data you will be collecting and what it will be used for. If respondents are happy to provide the information, they can continue to take part in your survey. If they do not consent, they can be easily sent to the end of the questionnaire where you can thank them for their time.
There is a wave of information flooding the internet about GDPR compliancy; however, let's get granular and answer some of the most frequently asked questions about GDPR compliant surveys.
When creating a new survey, the first thing to consider is making it GDPR compliant. With one simple question at the start of the survey, you can ensure your respondents opt-in to completing your survey. Keep in mind that consent has to be freely given, it must be affirmative, and you must give respondents the ability to withdraw consent.
Sign up with a data processor that complies with the new GDPR legislation. Read our checklist on 8 ways SmartSurvey can help you be GDPR compliant when collecting data.
Once you have signed up, login to your account.
Create a new survey – It's simple to create any type of survey, our easy-to-follow help guide in our Knowledge Base takes you through the process of creating a survey step-by-step.
When you reach the survey design stage to start setting up your questions, you need to implement the first step in making sure your survey is GDPR compliant.
In the first question, add your own specific instructions in the Question Text box – We have used the following example – 'Do you agree to take part in this survey sent to you by (add the name of your organisation if necessary)?
From the Question Type drop-down box, select Multiple Choice (Only One Answer).
Respondents that click the button saying they are happy to take part in your GDPR compliant surveys can continue to answer your questionnaire. Remember to make sure that you have the proper opt-out processes in place, using skip logic.
If they click the button saying that they do not want to take part in your survey, they cannot continue with the questionnaire. You then need to set up Skip Logic to send the respondent directly to the Thank You Page of your survey.
Create your own Thank You Page – here you can thank them for their time and explain why you require consent to collect personal data.
Helpful Tip* – set up all the questions in your survey before setting the skip logic rules.
Depending on your business, you may have differing reasons for contacting consumers with GDPR compliant surveys. The new regulation sets a high standard for consent, offering individuals real choice and control. As the ICO's guide on GDPR Consent specifies – Be specific and 'granular' so that you get separate consent for separate things. Vague or blanket consent is not enough.
You may want to itemise the different reasons that you will be contacting your customers, as shown in our example GDPR template form below.
Consent to take part in your surveys may not always be required and may, in fact, be inappropriate or misleading at times, in these cases, there may be a different legal basis for processing data that may be more relevant. In some cases, it may be possible that the survey asks for absolutely no personal data and therefore, any such surveys would not require consent.
Find out how well prepared you are or if there are still some data protection issues you need to consider with our GDPR compliance checker. You will receive a review of each answer on the results page at the end of the survey. The IT Governance website provides more information on gaining explicit consent under the GDPR.
Disclaimer: This blog post does not constitute legal advice nor does it guarantee compliance with any legislation including GDPR. It is only intended as background information to supplement your knowledge and awareness. We recommend you obtain the advice of a suitably qualified individual for guidance and ensuring compliance.
GDPR is all about having the purpose of your survey out in the open seeking active consent from participants. This article provides some really great tips on how to create a survey the right way when it comes to the policy. Quite insightful!
Hi Hemani, thanks so much for your feedback, glad you found it useful.
Hi Mike, thanks for your feedback, you are correct that there are many different requirements for GDPR compliancy. Our aim with this blog was to cover how to create a new survey and add a question at the start to ensure that respondents opt-in to completing the survey. If you would like to talk to us regarding any of the other areas that you mention, please get in touch with the support team, they would be happy to help.
What about sending a survey for research purposes (not marketing) to email contacts harvested from public annuaries, companies and associations directories?
Would it be possible to make it ok with a clear consent question at the beginning?

Caps come in a variety of styles
Benjamin Blair November 14, 2021 3 min read
Cap is something that is an ornament for the head. There are more types in caps. Nowadays, both men and women are using different hats, and other kinds of caps such as circles and oval are available. Caps are used for style, shadow, and protection. Caps are mostly worn to protect our skin, but it was for a multipurpose. It is also used for rituals and also as lending from someone. In a military base, service and low-level soldiers are differentiated by caps. Westerners wear Caps for Men Online India and hats for fashion to make them look classic.
Types of caps
Pork pie cap:
It was a cap with a turned-up brim and a flat crown and round shape. It is named because of its body. It was popular between both men and women in the middle of 19 the century. It was suitable to protect our skin from the sun.
Top cap:
It is a tall crowned type of hat which men, on very formal occasions, mostly wear. It's now wasn't made because looms were destroyed in the altercation.
Boater:
When summer comes, people should go for a boater cap. In this century, people are mostly choosing this boater cap decorated by a grosgrain ribbon around its crown. This also has different kinds, which are blacktop and comprehensive brim straw designs.
Trapper hat:
Nowadays, people are more into an old fashion which means they look up for a retro look. Even Though people wear retro dresses, they want to satisfy their fashion, so they need a head Ornament to dress up. So trapper hat is designed. When winter season comes, a trapper hat should be the best choice. It was designed as a fur type which is warm for the winter season. Suppose a person is looking for an adventurous look; they can surely go for a trapper hat that is comfortable for adventure.

Baseball cap:
It was initially designed for fashion, but it is mainly used nowadays as Sportswear. It comes as a simple five-panel cap which is considered fashionable now. It was designated as relaxed and straightforward, so should be fit for someone looking extraordinary personality or someone dynamic.
Bucket cap:
It was a comeback one that was initially used as a street style favorite. It was designed from cotton fabrics but thick, usually worn as street style one. Thick one as canvas and Denim but mostly wear for street style in the olden days.
Flat cap:
The flat cap is famous for its lavishing style, worn mainly by celebrities to match cool styles with their chic look. It was not for the expensive ones but worn by chimney sweepers and farmers. These are also used to wear stylish ones. These are brimmed round caps and lined up. If the perfect look has to be made, they want to wear it as a casual one.
So we discussed the caps and hats. There are more types available. So what are you waiting for? Just grab some and get a style that others are not used to.

The active versus passive debate is often emotional and polarizing. However, when you push beyond the black and white divides, it becomes clear that combining passive and active investment strategies is actually the most beneficial approach for portfolios, especially when considering the growth of advanced indexes. That is, while certain efficient asset classes may be best accessed with low cost passive investments, others may have greater potential for excess returns and, therefore, are best suited for active management.
At the same time, active and passive solutions can complement each other within asset classes and allows investors to tilt portfolios to the best opportunities within and across markets. This approach harnesses the best of passive and active and can help build the most cost effective, resilient and robust portfolios possible.

I'm not saying it's aliens... because it's more likely a dust ring around Tabby's Star causing it to act weird
October 4, 2017, 8:45 PM ET

For the first time, we may have a decent explanation of what's going on with Tabby's Star.
Oh, you know this star: It's the one that's been seen to fade irregularly, sometimes just a little bit for a little while, and sometimes dimming by huge amounts, 20% or more. It's been difficult to envision a single cause that explains all the different effects seen.
Lots of ideas have been proposed: swarms of comets blocking the star light, disintegrating planets, even the star itself consuming a planet or two. Nothing seems to work.
Of course, you've probably also heard that it could be aliens. Or, more accurately, aliens building a huge structure around their star. This purported megastructure could be a Dyson swarm, a bunch of gigantic solar panels designed to power what is presumably the aliens' very advanced civilization. To be clear, no astronomer thinks this is actually what's happening! It's more along the lines of "Huh. We can't rule that out just because it sounds silly, and it's easy enough to test, so why not?" Tests so far have been negative, unsurprisingly.
What's been needed are observations of the star across multiple colors. By looking at the star in visible light as well as ultraviolet and infrared, it can be possible to rule out some ideas and support others.
Those observations have now been done.
And the verdict is: The culprit is likely to be a dust ring around the star.
Disappointed? I'm not. This is pretty cool!

The astronomers observed the star with the NASA Swift satellite (which can see in visible light like our eyes see, as well as ultraviolet), the Spitzer satellite (which sees in the infrared), and a 0.68-meter telescope in Belgium (using visible light). The observations were performed over the course of about a year, from late 2015 to late 2016.
And what they found is pretty interesting: The star faded more in the blue end of the spectrum than the red. This is precisely what you'd expect from dust! What astronomers call "dust" is composed of long carbon-based molecules (essentially soot), or small grains of silicate (rocky) material. Both of these tend to block blue light while letting redder light through — in fact this is very similar to why the Sun looks red when it sets.
If the dusty grains were large, like pebbles or planets or Zornglab's Interstellar Solar Panel Company's products, the blue and the red light would be blocked equally. The blue dimming more really indicates the presence of dust. Incidentally, the astronomers say it's more likely to be dust around Tabby's Star rather than dust in interstellar space between us and it; the characteristics of the two flavors of dust are different, and better explained by material around the star itself (what's called "circumstellar dust").
If the dust were close to the star it would be warm and emit a lot of infrared light. That's not seen (and has been a cause for some consternation for the folks who like the idea of swarms of comets emitting dust in their wake). So either the dust is close to the star and very thinly spread out or it's farther out and thicker.
A single dust cloud won't work, either. Tabby's star exhibits long-term dimming over the past century or so, and these new observations also see the star fading very slightly. Although this new research doesn't explicitly say how this might happen, a dust ring can cause the dimming by getting very slightly denser over time (perhaps something in the ring is shedding dust), or by subtle orbital changes due to the gravitational influence of a planet.

Putting this all together, it seems very likely there's a ring of dust orbiting the star. To fit the timing of some of the major dimming events seen in Tabby's star, the ring would be a few hundred million kilometers in diameter, so orbiting the star at roughly the same distance Mars orbits the Sun. If the ring is clumpy, then that would explain why we see some small dips and some big ones, and also why they seem to happen on a 700-day period — that would be the orbital period of the ring.
We do see dust rings around other stars, so this too ad hoc, although generally speaking they're seen around much younger stars. I still struggle a bit with the idea of a clump of dust being able to block 20% or more of the star's light, though. That would be a big, dense clump! That's not addressed in this work either, so perhaps others will jump on this.
So this doesn't explain everything, but it explains quite a bit with potential for more, and as far as I can tell does the best job we've seen so far covering as much of the weird behavior of this star as possible. I suspect there will be important details that'll be teased out as time goes on. But the baseline going forward may be to assume we're dealing with a big, clumpy — and natural — dust ring.
Unless the aliens are sloppy with their machinery. Maybe they have space SUVs that are not terribly environmentally friendly. Or a couple of their panels got away from them, collided, and generated a lot of debris. That seems somewhat unlikely, though.
As usual, more observations are needed to figure out what's going on here in detail. That'll happen! It's not just the public that is interested in this star. Astronomers are too, because we love a mystery, especially one as weird as this. It lets us stretch our imaginations, and that's something scientists tend to have lots of.

A stripper named 'La Baam' is allegedly putting Waka Flocka on blast for sleeping with her this past summer. La Baam did a 30-minute interview with Tasha K showing all kinds of receipts, including partial photos of Waka sitting in a hotel suite, DMs and videos of a condom wrapper. There is also video of her and her friends alleged parading around Waka's exclusive Grand Sierra Resort suite.
La Baam says this all went down the weekend after Tammy's birthday, while Waka traveled to Reno, NV. La Baam also claims Waka sent her money to fix her cousins' car. Press play to listen.

Forward osmosis (FO) is an osmotic process that, like reverse osmosis (RO), uses a semi-permeable membrane to effect separation of water from dissolved solutes. The driving force for this separation is an osmotic pressure gradient, such that a "draw" solution of high concentration (relative to that of the feed solution), is used to induce a net flow of water through the membrane into the draw solution, thus effectively separating the feed water from its solutes. In contrast, the reverse osmosis process uses hydraulic pressure as the driving force for separation, which serves to counteract the osmotic pressure gradient that would otherwise favor water flux from the permeate to the feed.  Hence significantly more energy is required for reverse osmosis compared to forward osmosis.

The simplest equation describing the relationship between osmotic and hydraulic pressures and water (solvent) flux is:

where  is water flux, A is the hydraulic permeability of the membrane, Δπ is the difference in osmotic pressures on the two sides of the membrane, and ΔP is the difference in hydrostatic pressure (negative values of  indicating reverse osmotic flow). The modeling of these relationships is in practice more complex than this equation indicates, with flux depending on the membrane, feed, and draw solution characteristics, as well as the fluid dynamics within the process itself.

Tsolute flux () for each individual solute can be modelled by Fick's Law

Where  is the solute permeability coefficient and  is the trans-membrane concentration differential for the solute. It is clear from this governing equation that a solute will diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration if solutes can diffuse across a membrane. This is well known in reverse osmosis where solutes from the feedwater diffuse to the product water, however in the case of forward osmosis the situation can be far more complicated.

In FO processes we may have solute diffusion in both directions depending on the composition of the draw solution, type of membrane used and feed water characteristics. Reverse solute flux () does two things; the draw solution solutes may diffuse to the feed solution and the feed solution solutes may diffuse to the draw solution. Clearly these phenomena have consequences in terms of the selection of the draw solution for any particular FO process. For instance the loss of draw solution may affect the feed solution perhaps due to environmental issues or contamination of the feed stream, such as in osmotic membrane bioreactors.

An additional distinction between the reverse osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis (FO) processes is that the permeate water resulting from an RO process is in most cases fresh water ready for use. In FO, an additional process is required to separate fresh water from a diluted draw solution. Types of processes used are reverse osmosis, solvent extraction, magnetic and thermolytic. Depending on the concentration of solutes in the feed (which dictates the necessary concentration of solutes in the draw) and the intended use of the product of the FO process, the addition of a separation step may not be required. The membrane separation of the FO process in effect results in a "trade" between the solutes of the feed solution and the draw solution.

The forward osmosis process is also known as osmosis or in the case of a number of companies who have coined their own terminology 'engineered osmosis' and 'manipulated osmosis'.

Applications

Emergency drinks

One example of an application of this type may be found in "hydration bags", which use an ingestible draw solute and are intended for separation of water from dilute feeds. This allows, for example, the ingestion of water from surface waters (streams, ponds, puddles, etc.) that may be expected to contain pathogens or toxins that are readily rejected by the FO membrane. With sufficient contact time, such water will permeate the membrane bag into the draw solution, leaving the undesirable feed constituents behind. The diluted draw solution may then be ingested directly. Typically, the draw solutes are sugars such as glucose or fructose, which provide the additional benefit of nutrition to the user of the FO device. A point of additional interest with such bags is that they may be readily used to recycle urine, greatly extending the ability of a backpacker or soldier to survive in arid environments. This process may also, in principle, be employed with highly concentrated saline feedwater sources such as seawater, as one of the first intended uses of FO with ingestible solutes was for survival in life rafts at sea.

Desalination

Desalinated water can be produced from the diluted draw / osmotic agent solution, using a second process.  This may be by membrane separation, thermal method, physical separation or a combination of these processes.  The process has the feature of inherently low fouling because of the forward osmosis first step, unlike conventional reverse osmosis desalination plants where fouling is often a problem. Modern Water has deployed forward osmosis based desalination plants in Gibraltar and Oman.
In March 2010, National Geographic  magazine cited forward osmosis as one of three technologies that promised to reduce the energy requirements of desalination.

Evaporative cooling tower – make-up water
One other application developed, where only the forward osmosis step is used, is in evaporative cooling make-up water.  In this case the cooling water is the draw solution and the water lost by evaporation is simply replaced using water produced by forward osmosis from a suitable source, such as seawater, brackish water, treated sewage effluent or industrial waste water.  Thus in comparison with other 'desalination' processes that may be used for make-up water the energy consumption is a fraction of these with the added advantage of the low fouling propensity of a forward osmosis process.

Landfill leachate treatment
In the case where the desired product is fresh water that does not contain draw solutes, a second separation step is required. The first separation step of FO, driven by an osmotic pressure gradient, does not require a significant energy input (only unpressurized stirring or pumping of the solutions involved). The second separation step, however does typically require energy input. One method used for the second separation step is to employ RO. This approach has been used, for instance, in the treatment of landfill leachate. An FO membrane separation is used to draw water from the leachate feed into a saline (NaCl) brine. The diluted brine is then passed through a RO process to produce fresh water and a reusable brine concentrate. The advantage of this method is not a savings in energy, but rather in the fact that the FO process is more resistant to fouling from the leachate feed than a RO process alone would be. A similar FO/RO hybrid has been used for the concentration of food products, such as fruit juice.

Brine concentration

Brine concentration using forward osmosis may be achieved using a high osmotic pressure draw solution with a means to recover and regenerate it.  One such process uses the ammonia-carbon dioxide (NH3/CO2) forward osmosis process invented at Yale University by Rob McGinnis, who subsequently founded Oasys Water to commercialize the technology.  Because ammonia and carbon dioxide readily dissociate into gases using heat, the draw solutes can effectively be recovered and reused in a closed loop system, achieving separation through the conversion between thermal energy and osmotic pressure. NH3/CO2 FO brine concentration was initially demonstrated in the oil and gas industry to treat produced water in the Permian Basin area of Texas, and is currently being used in power and manufacturing plants in China.

Feed water 'softening' / pre-treatment for thermal desalination

One unexploited application is to 'soften' or pre-treat the feedwater to multi stage flash (MSF) or multiple effect distillation (MED) plants by osmotically diluting the recirculating brine with the cooling water.  This reduces the concentrations of scale forming calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate compared to the normal process, thus allowing an increase in top brine temperature (TBT), output and gained output ratio (GOR).  Darwish et al. showed that the TBT could be raised from 110 °C to 135 °C whilst maintaining the same scaling index for calcium sulphate.

Food Processing
Although osmotic treatment of food products (e.g., preserved fruits and meats) is very common in the food industry, FO treatment for concentration of beverages and liquid foods has been studied at laboratory-scale only. FO has several advantages as a process for concentrating beverages and liquid foods, including operation at low temperatures and low pressures that promote high retention of sensory (e.g., taste, aroma, color) and nutritional (e.g., vitamin) value, high rejection, and potentially low membrane fouling compared to pressure-driven membrane processes.

Osmotic power

In 1954 Pattle suggested that there was an untapped source of power when a river mixes with the sea, in terms of the lost osmotic pressure, however it was not until the mid '70s where a practical method of exploiting it using selectively permeable membranes by Loeb  and independently by Jellinek was outlined.  This process was referred by Loeb as pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and one simplistic implementation is shown opposite.  Some situations that may be envisaged to exploit it are using the differential osmotic pressure between a low brackish river flowing into the sea, or brine and seawater.  The worldwide theoretical potential for osmotic power has been estimated at 1,650 TWh / year.

In more recent times a significant amount of research and development work has been undertaken and funded by Statkraft, the Norwegian state energy company.  A prototype plant was built in Norway generating a gross output between 2 – 4 kW; see Statkraft osmotic power prototype in Hurum. A much larger plant with an output of 1 – 2 MW at Sunndalsøra, 400 km north of Oslo was considered  but was subsequently dropped.  The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) in Japan is funding work on osmotic power.

Industrial usage

Advantages
Forward osmosis (FO) has many positive aspects in the treating of industrial effluents containing many different kinds of contaminants and also in the treating of salty waters. When these draw effluents have moderate to low concentrations of removable agents, the FO membranes are really efficient and have the flexibility of adapting the membrane depending on the quality desired for the product water.
FO systems are also really useful when using them combined with other kinds of treatment systems as they compensate the deficiencies that the other systems may have. This is also helpful in processes where the recovery of a certain product is essential to minimize costs or to improve efficiency such as biogas production processes.

Disadvantages
The main disadvantage of the FO processes is the high fouling factor that they may experience. This occurs when treating a high saturated draw effluent, resulting in the membrane getting obtruded and no longer making its function. This implies that the process has to be stopped and the membrane cleaned. This issue happens less in other kind of membrane treatments as they have artificial pressure forcing to trespass the membrane reducing the fouling effect.
Also there's an issue with the yet to be developed membranes technology. This affects to the FO processes as the membranes used are expensive and not highly efficient or ideal for the desired function. This means that many times other cheaper and simpler systems are used rather than membranes.

Industrial market and future
Currently the industry uses few FO membranes processes (and membranes technologies in general) as they're complex processes which are also expensive and require a lot of cleaning procedures and that sometimes only work under certain conditions that in industry can't always be ensured. For that reason the focus for the future in membranes is to improve the technology so it's more flexible and suitable for general industrial usage. This will be done by investing in research and by slowly getting these developments into the market so the production cost is lowered as more membranes are produced.
Keeping with the current development it can be ensured that in few years from now, membranes will be spread-used in many different industrial processes (not only water treatments) and that there will appear many fields where FO processes can be used.

Research
An area of current research in FO involves direct removal of draw solutes, in this case by means of a magnetic field. Small (nanoscale) magnetic particles are suspended in solution creating osmotic pressures sufficient for the separation of water from a dilute feed. Once the draw solution containing these particles has been diluted by the FO water flux, they may be separated from that solution by use of a magnet (either against the side of a hydration bag, or around a pipe in-line in a steady state process).

The unusual comeback of former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford appears to have come to an abrupt end.
As Politico reported first, national Republicans have cut off funding to Sanford's campaign for Congress in light of reports he trespassed at his ex-wife's house earlier this year, apparently trying to watch the Superbowl with his son.
That would violate Sanford's divorce agreement with his ex, Jenny Sanford.
The South Carolina Republican's political career first nose-dived in 2009 when, as governor, he confessed to a an affair with an Argentine woman, Maria Chapur, to whom he is now engaged. He made the confession after he disappeared from the state for five days, with his staff offering the explanation that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
"Mark Sanford has proven he knows what it takes to win elections. At this time, the NRCC will not be engaged in this special election," Politico quoted Andrea Bozek, an NRCC spokeswoman, as saying.
This incident proves that Sanford also apparently does not know what it takes to lose an election. Maybe it's time for him to hit the trail, er, road.
Will the Colorado River go the way of the Sea Mink and the Chinese River Dolphin?
Those are now extinct species, and the Colorado River is only thus far "endangered." In fact, according to the conservation group American Rivers, the Colorado is the most endangered river in the United States.
In a story reported by The Denver Post's Bruce Finley, a federal analysis says there's not enough water in the Colorado River to meet current demands — much less those in the future.
The river is also critical for generating electricity, growing food and ecosystems, but barely reaches the ocean. Meanwhile, climate-change projections show 10 to 30 percent less water in the river by 2050.
The report also pointed to proposed projects along Colorado's Front Range it says would siphon 300,000 acre-feet more from the river and its tributaries. An acre-foot equals 325,851 gallons, generally believed to be enough to serve the needs of two families of four for a year.
The group says it will call on Congress and President Barack Obama to boost funding for water-saving projects and to convene a forum for westerners to work out a plan to save the river.
Gulp, while you still can.
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators announced an immigration reform proposal this week that includes better border security and a 13-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Here's what editorial cartoonists Jeff Parker (who is from Florida, home of Sen. Marco Rubio) and David Fitzsimmons (who is from Arizona, home of one of the nation's toughest immigration laws) had to say about the plan.
Many environmental advocates, myself included, harbor dreams of both national and local energy policy which will propel electric utilities on a trajectory of sustainable change. Boulder, in its municipalization effort, aptly calls this "The Utility of the Future," and the city deserves credit for spurring the conversation forward in Colorado.
Starry-eyed, we wish for a high level of renewable energy utilized in ways to maximize efficient and effective use, including using forecasting of weather patterns — both sun and wind — such that intermittent resources may be predicted and balanced over wide regions, coordinating with federal agencies to do so.
The Colorado legislature has had its share of fierce debate over a single issue in this legislative session that is critical to many people who live in Colorado: gun rights. The legislature has passed three bills which were sent to Gov. John Hickenlooper and signed: 1) ammunition capacity bans for magazines holding greater than 15 rounds and eight shotgun shells; 2) universal background checks for gun purchases; and 3) requirement for gun purchasers to pay for their own background check.
Many of our citizens are avid, responsible gun owners who are clashing with the need to combat the mass shootings of Columbine and Aurora, two attacks that took the lives of men, women and children. But there seemed to one big thing that appeared to be largely overlooked by our legislators when they attempted to pass many gun control measures and successfully passed three: the Second Amendment.
My daughter Lily is a fourth-grader at Lowry Elementary School, a Denver public school. I like the school a lot, her teachers, the fact that its students span a wide range or race and economic backgrounds. But they recently wasted her time — and that of all her classmates — for two weeks.
It's not Lowry's fault. The issue is a test called the Traditional Colorado Assessment Program. The state Department of Educaiton mandates it for all public-school kids. For two weeks, they spent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday taking this test. Conservatively, it was 30 hours of oval-filling. During that time, there was no homework and precious little supplemental classwork. In the interest in improving their education, their education ground to a halt.


Life's a rotten business, says Jean, a deserter who arrives at night in Le Havre, looking to leave the country. He lucks into civilian clothes, a little bit of money, a passport, and a dog, and he also meets Nelly, a 17-year-old who's grown up too fast. She's the object of lust of men: including a boyfriend Maurice, her putative protector Zabel, and Lucien, a local hood. Jean falls for her, faces down Lucien, and gives her courage to stand on her own feet. A ship is leaving for Venezuela; can at least one of them be on it, or is that just a dream?


I remember being asked as I grew up, "Who is your hero?" I was always quick to name my dad, James "Jim" Rooney. I gave many reasons, including the fact he valiantly served three tours of duty on the front lines in Vietnam beginning at the young age of 19. I would talk about the way he supported us four children at school and sporting events with his quiet words of wisdom. Most important was the way he not only loved all of us, but also our mother, with every fiber of his being.
Webster's Dictionary defines the word "inspire" as "to fill with courage or strength of purpose" or "to draw out." I had really never been asked "Who INSPIRES you?" until recently. The answer was obvious; the woman of my hero's affection, my mother.
Sharon Rooney met my father when she was 16. She figured out quickly he would be the man she would spend the rest of her life loving, and they married one month after she graduated from high school. One year later, she began the role she was born to play, being a mother. Heidi is their first born, I am second, Heather, third, and the family was rounded out with my brother TJ.
Having four children in six years made for a hectic schedule of diapers, bottles, and bedtime stories, but Mom did it with grace and the utmost love. At our home in Dolliver, Iowa, Mom also cared for one of her friend's four children on a daily basis and became like another mother to them. I learned then my mom's heart seemed to be built for loving without limits, and I admired her for that ability. She seemed to be able to not only love her own children and my father, but her extended family, friends, and every person she encountered.
Changes marked our lives as we moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Mom went to work outside of the home, and Dad went back to college. After Mom got us off to school each morning and completed the household tasks, she headed to her evening shift at Raven and Company where she was an industrial seamstress. She was soon promoted to shift supervisor. She would get home after 11 pm, sneak in and kiss each of us good night, finish a few chores, then sleep a few hours herself.
You could see the pride in her eyes as she spoke about us to her friends. Despite the challenges of that year, one thing remained constant for us kids -the knowledge Mom loved us beyond measure. It was apparent in every hug we received, every piece of clothing she sewed for us, and every kiss goodnight when she thought we were sleeping.
Dad finished his technical degree in less than a year and found a job in Bismarck. We moved to Mandan in 1984. Not long after we arrived, Mom found a job working for the Mandan Public School Transportation Department as an aide on one of the buses for intellectually and physically handicapped children.
Aside from her amazing roles as wife and mother, she found the job God put her on this earth to do – helping those children get to and from school safely. She was an aide for a few years before becoming a bus driver. She has been driving for more than 25 years, so has seen many children start school and graduate.
She tells everyone she feels "at home" on her bus and doesn't think she could work anywhere else as these kids become like family. Again, finding a way to love without limits. All the years she has been helping her bus kids, she and Dad raised the four of us, watched us compete in sporting events, attended our musical performances, high school and college graduations, and walked us down the aisle.
Her wish came to fruition on October 16, 2011, when her 12th grandchild was born. Six girls and six boys, and she couldn't be happier, except the love of her life is no longer here to share her joy.
After the first week, Heidi's treating neurologist told us he had been researching her condition, and there was, in fact, a possibility she could survive, but she would probably have "Locked In Syndrome." Further tests confirmed the syndrome. Since the day of her stroke, Heidi is mentally aware and capable but cannot move any part of her body purposefully, except her eyes to communicate with us. She is trapped inside her own body.
Despite this, the love and care she shares with Mom is phenomenal. Again, Mom shows love without limits by spending her free time at Heidi's side. When she is not driving her bus, she is reading Heidi a book, watching a movie with her, giving her a manicure or pedicure, or telling jokes to make her laugh. It is beautiful to see the love that radiates from Mom when she is with Heidi, like watching two best friends enjoy each other's company, without limits.
Shortly after Heidi's diagnosis, Dad fell into a deep depression and nothing could bring him out of it, not the love of his life, not the love of his children and grandchildren, not even his unwavering faith. He couldn't enjoy things he used to take great pleasure in, such as a few rounds of golf, fishing, going on a date with Mom, or playing with his grandkids. On January 10, 2011, he ended his own life. Mom lost her best friend that day, the only man she ever truly loved.
I didn't know how she would go on. In the days following Dad's death, I don't think she knew how she would live without him either, until she said, "I know he would want me to live my life and be as happy as I can be." She has done just that. She puts one foot in front of the other, smiles a lot, and tells everyone, "I am pretty darned good today," even when we know how brokenhearted she must be.
She inspires each person she encounters by her ability to not only love without limits, but to hold her head up and survive insurmountable events with a smile. Her inner beauty radiates even on the days when her heart must hurt beyond measure.
I once saw a plaque that read "For a mother is the only person on earth who can divide her love among her children, and each child can still have all her love." My mom is the epitome of this. I have overheard her say she doesn't have four children, she has eight, and she treats our spouses as if she had given birth to them herself – she loves them without limits. Her twelve grandchildren feel as if each one is indeed her favorite and that she loves them with her whole heart, because she does, without limits.
Who inspires me to be a better wife, mother, sister and aunt, a better friend and person in general? That is easy – the woman who gave me life; the woman who loves without limits, my mom.

Injeolmi is a type of Korean rice cake. It is sticky rice cakes rolled in some kind of powder or crumbs. Depending on the powder or crumbs, the name for the rice cakes are different. Today I will make injeolmi rolled in mungbean crumbs, which we call "nokdu injeolmi." Chewy rice cakes, covered with the sweet and nutty flavor of mung bean crumbs, tastes very delicious.
Wash 1 cup of dried, peeled mung beans several times.
Soak the washed beans in water for about 2 hours.
Put a metal steamer in a big pot, or use a bamboo steamer. Pour some water into the pot.
Put wet cheese cloth (or some other thin cloth for steaming) over the steamer.
Put the drained beans on the cheese cloth. Spread the beans out evenly.
Boil the water. Steam the beans for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Rub a cooked bean with your thumb and second finger. If the bean smashes easily, they are done. However, be careful not to over cook the beans, or else you will not get the right texture for this food.
Quickly pour and spread the cooked beans onto a wide plate.
Sprinkle ½ tsp of salt evenly on the beans. Let them completely cool down.
You do not want your beans to be wet, so try to get them dried. You can toast them in a pan on the stove, or bake them a little in the oven. Either way, be careful not to burn the beans. Put the beans in a zipper bag, and smash them with something like a French rolling pin, until half of the beans become powdery, but some chunks are still remaining.
Add about ¼ cup of sugar in the bag and shake it to mix everything. Depending on your tastes, you can adjust the sugar amount in this step.
Spread the beans on a wide plate. Set them aside while you are making the sticky rice cakes.
Mix 3 cups of sweet rice flour, 2½ cups of water, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt in a large mixing bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap loosely.
Cook for about 3 minutes on high in the microwave. Take it out from the microwave and mix. Keep repeating this until the batter has completely cooked. When it is cooked, the color changes from white to a little yellowish color. It took about 6 minutes in my microwave.
Knead the rice cake dough with a fork first.
And then forcefully hit it with the end of a French rolling pin, or similar tool. This will help your rice cakes to have a nicer, chewier texture. Do this step for about 10 minutes.
Spread ⅓ of the cooked mung beans on a cutting board.
Put the rice cake dough on top of the bean crumbs.
Put another ⅓ of the beans on top of the rice cake dough. Flatten the rice cakes into a square shape with about a ½-inch thickness. The beans help the dough to not stick to the board or your hands, making it is easier to work with them.
Dip the knife in water and then cut the rice cakes into 2-inch wide strips. I divided mine into 4 strips.
Take each strip and slice it into about 10 pieces.
Roll each piece on the remaining bean crumbs, so that the entire surface of each cake is covered with crumbs.
Can I follow this recipe but cover the rice cakes with some kind of nuts like walnuts or almonds instead of mung beans?
Thank you for your blog! I really enjoy your recipes!
Can't wait to try his one!
You can try that.. but just remind that.. the mung bean seasoned with sugar.. so it give sweetness to the rice cake.. if you use nuts.. think of that.. thanks.
How can I do the dough the without a microwave please?
I love reading your blog and watching your videos.
Your cooking is so neatly and I enjoy watching a lot ! Keep doing what you are doing because it's a pleasure to watch.
