Help for Nepali cheese makers brings help for small holder farmers
Cheeses made in a remote Nepali cheese house mature before marketing at three months of age.
Bringing Nepali smallholder farmers closer to the market place has always been a challenge in a country where glacial waters, which drain from the Himalayas, make transport so difficult. These waters form huge rivers such as the Koshi, Narayani, and Karnali Nadi that flow south into India where they are the headwaters of the massive Ganges that empties into the Bay of Bengal. The valleys of these Nepali rivers, run north to south and the main lines of transport must navigate across them east to west. For several decades Nepal's eastern districts around Illam have not only produced tea but also Gouda type cheeses that are popular both locally and in the central Kathmandu valley. These value chains have allowed smallholder milk producers to bring their milk products to the market place. By converting milk to cheese not only does the value rise per kilo but also the product volume is reduced by 90% allowing transport costs to be covered and still leave extra margin for the cheese maker and the milk-supplying farmers.
But there have been some problems. Cheese quality is declining and a newly established cheese house, has asked for some help to get things back on track. So its with this challenge in mind I join a small team tasked with visiting the district that neighbours Illam, Terhathum, where we will visit the small factory to look at the entire cheese making process and try to come up with some suggestions. My job will be to build the capacity of the team and facilitate a short training session.
The current political instability within Nepal make air travel the safest way of reaching some districts. Our small Yeti Airlines plane waits to taxi at Kathmandu airport.
There can be fewer more memorable sights than Everest rising out of Nepal's Himalayan Range
A reminder that not all of Nepal's districts are mountainous. The flat rice paddies around Biratnagar are typical of the Tarai plains that border N. India.
We take an internal flight with Yeti Airlines to Biratnagar an eastern city on the flat Tarai lands bordering India. From here we will take a jeep and drive four hours north to the mid- hills and the village of Basantipur, in Terhathum district.
Eventually we arrive at the cheese house situated at the end of a rough dirt track, on a col, at an altitude of 2600m. The small team, lead by a young man, Sudbir Tamang, eagerly await our arrival and the assistance we might offer.
Our destination, a small isolated cheese house.
Cheese maker Sudbir Tamang works over the 1000lt. vat. He learnt his skills
in the neighbouring district of Illam
The previous days cheese on the pressing table in simple make-shift moulds.
After brief introductions, and a look at that day's cheese still on the presses, we retired to a local lodge for the night.
Next morning, our walk back to see the factory was rewarded by magnificent views of Makalu (8468m), Cho Oyu (8201m), and the ultimate peak Sagarmatha (8828m), in the far distance. What a wonderful place to work. But that is only a Westerners feeling about the situation. When I asked the locals what are the names of these imposing peaks no one has an answer. They are just a landscape feature that everyone takes entirely for granted and whilst locals respect the existence of these mountains, since they are of strong cultural value, their existence does little to counterbalance the harsh way of life in these remote communities.
This small cheese house produces between 8 to 10, 4kg cheeses each day from 400 lts of milk which is supplied by 150 small milk producers. A Danish development project, some years ago, had been the first to introduce cheese making in the east of Nepal. Gouda is the style rather than Cheddar with which I am more familiar. Gouda has one big advantage in that it's preservation is achieved by submerging cheeses in a brine bath for 48 hours rather than the more tricky methods used in cheddar making. Brining or not, the cheeses must be matured at around 100c for several months, which make these cool moist mountains ideal for the process, since refrigeration is still largely unavailable.
The supplying farmers bring their milk to a few collection points from where it is carried, unchilled, in aluminium cans to the factory. Depending upon the distances involved, the task of carrying these containers, in dokhas (baskets), is done by various teams. The closer collection points which involve carrying for 1-1.5 hours use school boys who do the job before their school day starts. The same three boys do the job every day.
These boys have carried 40kgs of milk from their collection points over an hours walk away. The general belief is that young men do not want to work hard in rural areas. These guy's are disproving that belief. They return to their villages after delivery, in time to start school at 10.30 am. Amrit Rai the taller boy has passed his school leaving certificate this year.
Basanta Rai is 11 years old and has bought 38kgs of milk to the factory. It took him an hour.
He will get back to school to attend class 5.
Emptying the milk into the vat, through a filter.
Away home
Where the milk is brought longer distances the 3 hour journey is done by men and women who each deliver up to 55 kgs., before making the return journey,………taking a further 3 hours. But the team spirit of all these players is fantastic. Not a single word of complaint, just smiles and unsolicited offers to help each other before a short rest and away home to do more work on the farm.
Hard to believe it but this woman has carried more than 50kgs for 3 hours. Here she
is helped to unload.
Another woman farmer delivers from her close steading
Local farmers earn extra money by carrying milk
After a visit to the small cheese store and the inevitable tasting session we discovered that the main problem we were to solve is the existence of small holes in the body of the cheeses. These only become apparent when the cheese is cut. Customers are voicing their dislike of the tiny cavities which are harmless in a food safety sense. I had some ideas about the causes that were confirmed by watching, with fascination, the entire process. There were definitely some inadequacies in both the milk pasteurisation and cheese brining stages. These were allowing gas-producing bacteria to survive and multiply to create small gas holes in the final cheeses.
The small gas holes are clearly visible in the matured cheese.
Rajendra my team colleague proudly shows off the fire that is heating the jacketed
vat. His design. Wood is in rich supply close to this cheese house.
Cutting the curd
Removing 30% of the whey to reduce acidity.
After scalding and cooking the curd it is separated from the whey using this unique but effective method.
The cheese cloth now filled with curd is taken to the awaiting moulds
Mould filling
Making sure moulds are full and of equal size
After an hours pre-press the cloths are checked to ensure a good cheese shape is achieved. Then the pressing continues overnight. The cheese on the shelf behind, have been labelled and await being placed in a brine bath for 48 hours.
Standardisation is achieved by separating some of the cream from the milk.
Hand churning butter takes about 25 minutes, the cream having been left to ripen for
The finished butter will be used to produce ghee.
Throughout the day our small team conferred and debated the current scenario eventually coming up with some recommendations. Once the days making was completed Rajendra, my Nepali counterpart, gave a short training session attended by the entire team, to share the new knowledge and tweek the cheese making recipe.
Rajendra takes a short training session
The new recipe is written down and displayed.
The following day we made a re-visit to back up the theory with some practical demonstration during that day's cheese making. After farewells and promises to come back and check all was going well we jumped in the jeep and away.
For the future, more visits to other cheese makers in neighbouring Illam district have been arranged to tackle similar problems. These should coincide with our planned revisit to Basantipur. Working within this value chain is not only helping cheese makers like Sudbir Tamang but is also allowing us to achieve our ultimate aim of both securing and improving the income for the hundreds of small holder milk producers.

The configuration structure is passed to the server during initialization. The server expects that the configuration is not modified during runtime. Currently, only one server can use a configuration at a time. During shutdown, the server will clean up the parts of the configuration that are modified at runtime through the provided API.
The Tutorials provide a good starting point for this.
See the section on Generic Type Handling. Examples for working with custom data types are provided in /examples/custom_datatype/.
See the section for node lifecycle handling.
See the section for access-control handling.

* @param server The server object.
* @param running The loop is run as long as *running is true.
*        Otherwise, the server shuts down.
/* Executes a single iteration of the server's main loop.
* @param waitInternal Should we wait for messages in the networklayer?
*        Otherwise, the timouts for the networklayers are set to zero.
*        The default max wait time is 50millisec.
* @param callback The callback that shall be added.
* @param data Data that is forwarded to the callback.
* @param date The timestamp for the execution time.
*        identifier is not set.
/* Add a callback for cyclic repetition to the server.
*        occurs at now() + interval at the latest.
/* Remove a repeated callback. Does nothing if the callback is not found.
The functions for reading and writing node attributes call the regular read and write service in the background that are also used over the network.
The following attributes cannot be read, since the local "admin" user always has full rights.

There are three places where a callback from an information model to user-defined code can happen.
To finalize the instantiation of a node, a (user-defined) constructor callback is executed. There can be both a global constructor for all nodes and node-type constructor specific to the TypeDefinition of the new node (attached to an ObjectTypeNode or VariableTypeNode).
In the hierarchy of ObjectTypes and VariableTypes, only the constructor of the (lowest) type defined for the new node is executed. Note that every Object and Variable can have only one isTypeOf reference. But type-nodes can technically have several hasSubType references to implement multiple inheritance. Issues of (multiple) inheritance in the constructor need to be solved by the user.
The constructor and destructor callbacks can be set to NULL and are not used in that case. If the node-type constructor fails, the global destructor will be called before removing the node. The destructors are assumed to never fail.
Every node carries a user-context and a constructor-context pointer. The user-context is used to attach custom data to a node. But the (user-defined) constructors and destructors may replace the user-context pointer if they wish to do so. The initial value for the constructor-context is NULL. When the AddNodes service is used over the network, the user-context pointer of the new node is also initially set to NULL.
The server has a unique way of dealing with the content of variables. Instead of storing a variant attached to the variable node, the node can point to a function with a local data provider. Whenever the value attribute is read, the function will be called and asked to provide a UA_DataValue return value that contains the value content and additional timestamps.
It is expected that the read callback is implemented. The write callback can be set to a null-pointer.
/* Copies the data from the source into the provided value.
* !! ZERO-COPY OPERATIONS POSSIBLE !!
* on the network buffer between each read operation.
* true to indicate the presence of a value.
* @param value The (non-NULL) DataValue that has been written by the client.
Value Callbacks can be attached to variable and variable type nodes. If not NULL, they are called before reading and after writing respectively.
* @param handle Points to user-provided data for the callback.
* @param nodeid The identifier of the node.
* @param data Points to the current node value.
* writing so that the new value is visible in the callback.
*        by the type constructor(s).
MonitoredItems are used with the Subscription mechanism of OPC UA to transported notifications for data changes and events. MonitoredItems can also be registered locally. Notifications are then forwarded to a user-defined callback instead of a remote client.
* @timestampsToReturn Shall timestamps be added to the value for the callback?
*       registered for event notifications.
Method callbacks are set to NULL (not executable) when a method node is added over the network. In theory, it is possible to add a callback via UA_Server_setMethodNode_callback within the global constructor when adding methods over the network is really wanted. See the Section Interacting with Objects for calling methods on an object.
Objects in the information model are represented as ObjectNodes. Some convenience functions are provided to simplify the interaction with objects.
/* Read an object property.
* @param value Contains the property value after reading. Must not be NULL.
When creating dynamic node instances at runtime, chances are that you will not care about the specific NodeId of the new node, as long as you can reference it later. When passing numeric NodeIds with a numeric identifier 0, the stack evaluates this as "select a random unassigned numeric NodeId in that namespace". To find out which NodeId was actually assigned to the new node, you may pass a pointer outNewNodeId , which will (after a successful node insertion) contain the nodeId of the new node. You may also pass a NULL pointer if this result is not needed.
See the Section Node Lifecycle: Constructors, Destructors and Node Contexts on constructors and on attaching user-defined data to nodes.
The methods for node addition and deletion take mostly const arguments that are not modified. When creating a node, a deep copy of the node identifier, node attributes, etc. is created. Therefore, it is possible to call for example UA_Server_addVariablenode with a value attribute (a Variant) pointing to a memory location on the stack. If you need changes to a variable value to manifest at a specific memory location, please use a Data Source Callback or a Value Callback.
The method pair UA_Server_addNode_begin and _finish splits the AddNodes service in two parts. This is useful if the node shall be modified before finish the instantiation. For example to add children with specific NodeIds. Otherwise, mandatory children (e.g. of an ObjectType) are added with pseudo-random unique NodeIds. Existing children are detected during the _finish part via their matching BrowseName.
You can add an object node without a parent if you set the parentNodeId and referenceTypeId to UA_NODE_ID_NULL. Then you need to add the parent reference and hasTypeDef reference yourself before calling the _finish method. Not that this is only allowed for object nodes.
may remove the node if it encounters an error.
VariableAttributes for variables, ObjectAttributes for objects, and so on. Missing attributes are taken from the TypeDefinition node if applicable.
The method UA_Server_createEvent creates an event and represents it as node. The node receives a unique EventId which is automatically added to the node. The method returns a NodeId to the object node which represents the event through outNodeId. The NodeId can be used to set the attributes of the event. The generated NodeId is always numeric. outNodeId cannot be NULL.
Note: In order to see an event in UAExpert, the field Time must be given a value!
The method UA_Server_triggerEvent "triggers" an event by adding it to all monitored items of the specified origin node and those of all its parents. Any filters specified by the monitored items are automatically applied. Using this method deletes the node generated by UA_Server_createEvent. The EventId for the new event is generated automatically and is returned through outEventId. NULL can be passed if the EventId is not needed. deleteEventNode specifies whether the node representation of the event should be deleted after invoking the method. This can be useful if events with the similar attributes are triggered frequently. UA_TRUE would cause the node to be deleted.
adding the event to the appropriate queues.


The Fourth "Science with the GTC" Meeting will be held from 16-18 November, 2011 in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain).
The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is now under routine scientific operation. Astronomers from the three GTC communities, as well as others, have now data of excellent quality. More data will be steadily being gathered and distributed to many colleagues in the coming months. So, after so many years of preparation, and three conferences promising outstanding science, it is now time to check upon those promises, to test that excellent science is actually coming out of the GTC, and to present to the world the science highlights achieved with the GTC. Three former "Science with the GTC" meetings have been held so far, in Granada (Spain), Mexico D.F. and Coral Gables, Florida. It is about time that a conference is held in La Palma, the site of the GTC, and on this occasion with real GTC data.
The main aim of this IV meeting on "Science with the GTC" is therefore to gather together once again to discuss on science, present hot results, learn about GTC and its science operation and give a further push to ongoing or incipient collaborations between our GTC communities.
The Fourth "Science with GTC" meeting will be hosted by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Consolider-GTC collaboration is in charge of the organization.

McDonald's Game Scam Convictions Erased
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – An appeals court has erased convictions for four men found guilty in a multimillion-dollar scheme to cash in on stolen winning tickets in McDonald's games such as "Monopoly" and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (search) found "a complete failure of proof" on the conspiracy charge the men faced and concluded they were convicted of a conspiracy that they were not charged with.
The decision means the men cannot be retried and restitution orders ranging up to $786,500 each are rescinded.
"Praise the Lord and the 11th Circuit," Curtis Fallgatter, attorney for George Chandler (search), said Tuesday. "Every one of them had been told some false story about these tickets."
Steve Cole, spokesman for the region's federal prosecutors, had no comment on Monday's reversal.
Prosecutors charged a scheme dealing in stolen tickets was led by Jerome Jacobson (search), security director for a company that ran the games for the fast-food chain. The Lawrenceville, Ga., man was sentenced to three years in prison and was not covered by the appeal.
U.S. District Judge Henry Lee Adams Jr. had expressed concern about the evidence against the defendants but refused to grant directed verdicts of acquittal after the jury convictions in August 2003.
Jerome Pearl of Miami was sentenced to a two-year prison term. Chandler of Walhalla, S.C., and John Henderson, 50, of Las Vegas received house arrest. Kevin Whitfield of Savannah, Ga., was placed on probation for three years.
Those men were accused of posing as winners or recruiting winners for games offering prizes of $1 million cash and sports cars from 1995 to 2001. Chandler claimed he was duped by his foster father with a story about a friend trying to hide his winnings during a divorce.

This post is going to be rather more serious than my other ones as I want to talk about the challenges presented by instant messenger formats. Two recent experiences in my professional and personal life have prompted it as my solution for understanding a complex issue is to write about it.
This semester, I am working as an online reference librarian more than an in-person one and the interactions with patrons occur through an instant messaging program. They see me as Ask a Librarian and I see them as a randomly generated number or a screen name if they choose to enter one. A major part of my interaction is to create an conversation and show that there's a human behind the name, who wants to help them succeed in their research. Recently I had someone try to take advantage of the fact that I am a human by pressing me to give them personal information in the hopes that I would create a non-professional relationship with me. It was done in a creeping manner that made me uncomfortable as mixed in with the boundary pushing questions were valid ones that I tried to answer. It also took advantage of the fact that in a normal exchange, I will discuss what I have researched and my own knowledge if it will help the patron. The instant message system created a false sense of knowing that I diverted by pointing out that I was online in a professional capacity, but the interaction shook me. The main reason it did was it felt like once the other person realized I was a woman, they moved on that more than librarian and even insulted librarians in a bid to get my sympathy. In the end I had to close the conversation in a firm and professional manner, but it reminded me of how the combination of false intimacy and lack of a personal connection makes it easy to hurt someone you can't see. Comment sections and the harassment of women bloggers shows how this has become a daily part of the internet as pointed out by Mencallmethings on Twitter, warning for harassment and threats.
The second experience was one that occurs from time to time in my roleplaying circle where the majority of out of character conversation happens in instant messages. There's a main chat room that is open throughout the day and night as players come from a variety of timezones and this allows for a constant conversation. I consider this chat room somewhere between a table in a college dining hall or the break room in an office, people are always moving through, different threads of conversations happen at once and the feel changes a lot depending on who is inside. This chat room is where I've created many strong friendships but there are many people who I only speak to in the chat room and consider acquaintances. Outside of the main chatroom, there will be one-on-one sessions and email chains, which deepen friendships. One of the tricky parts of all of this is due to the lack of tone on instant messages, there can be the sense of intimacy on one side but not the other. An example that happens often and happened to me again this week is someone messaging with a link or a quick observation, but without a clear sense of thought to who they're contacting. In a face-to-face conversation, it's possible to pick up clues and have a quick laugh over something small and move on. Yet in the world of instant messaging, it's rude to simply not respond but it can be uncomfortable when it seems as if there's a presumption of intimacy that doesn't exist. I find these exchanges confusing as usually they come from someone who I've interacted with in chat but not deeply. I try to be a friendly person but at times, another window appearing and saying pay attention to me is tiring. The difficulty is to find ways to set boundaries without destroying acquaintances in the mainly toneless environment of instant messaging.
In both these situations, the main issue is how do you create boundaries in spaces where interaction is fluid and the social cues are different. Online it tends to be a case of choosing who you extend intimacy to and finding the ways to be polite and not rude as you draw a line. Due to my experience of understanding what doesn't come across well through instant messaging in fandom, I've been able to keep the professional line stronger as a reference librarian. For the work interaction, I stated that I was online as a librarian and not in a social capacity and would not continue the dialogue and in time, the person left. I think when talking on an instant messaging platform, Twitter or Facebook is to remember that your intentions don't come through so you have to be go out of your way to explain what's behind your words. It makes the internet challenging but also rewarding when true intimacy can be created.
I wrote a thematically similar entry on my blog this week at http://onerous.tumblr.com.
I Feel as though true intimacy can only be created by a level of honesty that is not often used on the internet but which is sometimes inappropriately and inaccurately assumed. The internet rarely represents real life in a true way.
I agree, but I think the internet can create friendships. It just takes more work to get to intimacy and acquaintances tend to be far more common than friendships.

For best results, perform a strand test before bleaching hair with the Manic Panic bleaching kits. Hair dye results do vary, though, based on base color, porosity and hair type. Avoid using on hair with more than 10% grey coverage and read instructions included with the products.
Manic Panic originated in 1977 as one of the first products sold at the Bespoke Boutique on St. Mark's Place in NYC. The vivid shades, tints and hues stemmed from punk rock pioneers Tish and Snooky Bellomo, who transformed the beauty brand into a leading hair color revolution still going strong 40 years later. Tish and Snooky don't just sell Manic Panic hair dye, they live it as they continue to perform regularly and showcase their vivid hair color on stage with legendary rock and roll acts. The New York native sisters, dubbed as the "Martha Stewarts of Punk Rock" believe in not only sharing colorful hair dye shades but also sharing a portion of their profits by donating 15% of Manic Panic's annual profits to various charities.

Q: Using Meteor.wrapAsync for complex nested functions I have been playing around with the below for a while and I am really struggling to get my head around wrapAsync in meteor.
My general use is that I am using zerorpc to call a function running on a python server and pass some arguments which are user generated in a meteor app.
My understanding is that I must create a function which takes an argument and a callback:
function f1(arg, cb) {
  console.log('i am f1', arg)
  zClient.connect('tcp://127.0.0.1:4242');
  zClient.on('error', (error) => {
    console.error('RPC client error: ', error);
  });
  zClient.invoke('hello', arg, (err, res, more) => {
    if (err) { console.error(err); }
    else { console.log('Update: ', res); }
    if (!more) { console.log('Done'); }
  });
}

Here is my callback:
function cb(error, result) {
  if (error) console.log('cb error: ', error);
  console.log('here is the cb: ', result);
}

And finally the meteor method:
Meteor.methods({
  'model.train'(arg) {
    console.log('method invoked: model.train', Date.now())
    let wf1 = Meteor.wrapAsync(f1);
    console.log(wf1(arg))
  },
});

So I think my issue is that inside my wrapped function I have yet another async function which when I attempt to wrap that I am getting a :
Exception while invoking method 'model.train' TypeError: Cowardly refusing to pack object with circular reference

Also there must be a better way as reading that code becomes a real pain!
Thanks in advance!

Q: VC 2012 Release Build encounter startup error I'm building a pure Win32 program (no clr or any assembly) by VC 2012 (VC 2012 (VC11) as my compiler). It uses boost 1.58, wxWidget 3.0.2 series,gsl 1.8, jsoncpp, Open CV 2.4.10, etc... The development box is running Win7 64bits. I would like it to be a single executable and is able to run on both Win 7 32/64 so I built all of the above packages as libs myself by the same VC 2012. (thanks for cmake)...
It works fine on development box but not on a clean one that only installed VC redistribution packages.  I got the error message box ask me to use the sxstrace and the message in event log has side-by-side error like below and I also tried the sxstrace and got similar error.
"D:\Release\xxxx.exe" 的啟用內容產生失敗。 找不到依存組合 Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8"。 請使用 sxstrace.exe 進行詳細的診斷。
I've been searching around.  All and answers simply says I should use all release build for all libs.  Yes, it's true if I didn't I couldn't have the single executable at first place. It won't be able to link. (I learned it by made lots of mistakes)  I've tried both MD or MT build for my program (not mix them together.  They are separated test.).  Either of the mode works. The same error remains.  I've also installed over lots of VC2008 9.0.21022, -.30729.17, -30729.4148, -30729.6161, VC 2010 10.0.40219, VC 2012 11.0.61030 (x86/x64)
I really don't understand. It's pure win32 release build made by VC 2012. How come it requires VC90 debug dll?
I'll really appreciated if someone can give me more precise advice about how to resolve or even determine where and what goes wrong with the code or the lib I build.

A: I will suggest that you use the following tool: Dependency walker.
By loading your executable on your PC (where it works) you should find out all the DLLs it uses and so discover any hidden dependencies in the (medium sized) library list on which your project depends (and in turn their dependencies).
This should help you point out DLLs that you have on your PC but not on freshly installed machines.

A: A pure Win32 release build should not depend on DEBUG CRT dlls, that's for sure. The only project setting to control that is basically that MT/MD ("Runtime Library") setting. You want MT.
I would guess that you have the Debug CRT dll referenced somewhere in the source code (e.g. one of the libraries requires it to be linked in for whatever reason, maybe because there is #define DEBUG or something, thus overriding project settings.
You could try searching #pragma comment(lib, ...bla-bla-bla...) in the source code.

A: It's resolved by myself.  The project is about migrating a big legacy project. So there's a very small lib built by VC90 without source code. So be a detail person is the key to do this kind of job.

Indie Music Album Reviews
Andy Steventon - Food for the Soul
 Andy Steventon
Food for the Soul
self-released; 2016
By Andrew Westberry
For over a decade, Andy Steventon has been turning his musical heritage and exposure into original works by songwriting, performing and recording in his hometown of Zaragoza, Spain. Taking cues from multiple genres and styles, Food for the Soul is Steventon's home-recorded debut album with instruments and vocals performed by Stevenson himself, his friend Gaz Rackham on the bass and drums by his brother Phil.
The album wastes no time in launching directly into a smoky rock groove in "Take it from Me",arguably the most catchy song on the entire record. Classic electric guitar riffs, pulsing bass and steady drums lay down the structure for Steventon's vocals to soar above. The tone changes ever so slightly in "This Boy is New" to incorporate bright, warbly guitars and funky slap bass in a full-fledged jam.
"The Simple Life" features retro elements in a melodious jaunt through a '90s alternative rock soundscape. The ballad-fused theme continues in "Tomorrow's Yesterday" but this time with a power chord laden chorus and hi-hats throughout the verses that give the track an additional vitality and energy.
Steventon's darker, more metal side of songwriting comes through in "Food for the Soul," the album's title track that relentlessly plunges through minor chords and atmospheric guitars. Vocal harmonies highlight Steventon's vocal ability and his raw emotions are palpable through his singing. The energy gets turned up a notch in "Nah Nah Yeah Yeah" an ultra danceable rock anthem built upon optimism and pure joy exhibited in unfettered singing and playing.
Following this sonic blast "Tonight" brings a more mellow, reserved quality to the album. Choral-like harmonies and classy guitar strumming make for a relaxing, yet interesting, listen. "I hope I'm not too Late" maintains the serene feel, but bouncy percussion and vocals generate a tropical reggae jive in the midst of classic rock instrumentation.
The record comes to a close with "Guardian Angel" a traditional rock song that does not stray far beyond expectations or conventions, and the aptly named "This is the End" a celebratory power anthem that pulls all the stops of guitar solos, creative drum beats and sailing vocals that cap off the eclectic, yet cohesive, album. Food for the Soul will undoubtedly serve Andy Steventon as a stepping stone to higher places in his aspiring career.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a simple miniature reactor consisting of a thin plastic tube encased in wire mesh in which chemical reactions occur using sunlight as the only energy source at a much faster rate than in standard reactor designs. Not only are reaction times shorter; the set-up is significantly more environmentally-friendly and sustainable. The research team led by Professor Till Opatz at the JGU Institute of Organic Chemistry used a 25-meter long tube, which was wound several times and had an interior diameter of just one millimeter. In this microcapillary flow reactor, sunlight was enough to initiate photochemical reactions of the kind that occur during photosynthesis, for example. "We undertook a total of 13 reactions and saw a drastic increase in the reaction rates," explained Opatz. The sunflow reactor is thus much more efficient than other devices with standard reaction chambers that use low-energy bulbs or LEDs as sources of power.
The growing field of "green chemistry" strives for reactions that combine high yields, renewable starting materials, and energy-efficient techniques that do not require the use of heavy metals or other toxic substances. In the case of photochemical reactions, light radiation supplies the energy that drives specific chemical reactions. However, there are various technological disadvantages associated with large photoreactors. They require relatively long exposure times, which can be problematic if sunlight is the only energy source because they can only be operated in daylight and when the weather is fine.
The sunflow reactor developed by the Mainz team, on the other hand, uses a thin tube that has an extremely large surface area to be exposed to sunlight. The result is that the corresponding reactions are significantly accelerated. The JGU-based chemists were thus able to generate the same yield for certain processes while shortening the reaction time from 16 hours to three minutes. They experimented with the use of different light wavelengths, also with regard to reactions that require UV radiation. "The proportion of UV in sunlight is relatively low, so we were extremely happy about the surprisingly fast conversion rates we achieved," added Opatz. The actual light spectrum employed is generally unimportant as the photons needed for the continuation of the reaction can be filtered out of the sunlight.
"The sunflow reactor we used is easy to build and readily affordable for every research group interested in eco-friendly flow photochemistry," concluded the researchers in their publication. This is the first time that an efficient and eco-friendly set-up that could be used in photoredox and H-atom transfer chemistry has been developed. Professor Till Opatz's team will use the new technique for their own research in the field of photochemistry.
