We host rock events, fashion events, offer band management as well as PR, visual & social media services. We are the underground railroad connecting bands, fans record labels, promoters, sound engineers, small businesses and anyone else that has anything to do with independent music, business and fashion.
The Black Hollies
The Black Hollies began in 2005, and have three full length LP's, a slew of 45's, and years of touring under their belts. Their themes have always been exploration of form, channeling the spontaneity of the moment, making arrangements, caring, not caring, charcuterie, imported Belgian ales, Indicas v.s. Sativas, French wines, nasty fuzz tones, tight grooves, leslie rotors, tape wound bottom end, deep slow panning, organ grinders, tape echoes, and feeling the flow. As a collective all the players involved share a varied yet connected musical past.
The Black Hollies hastily turn a deaf ear toward connotations used to pigeonhole the band. Maybe The Black Hollies did it to themselves by recording their latest LP, Softly Towards The Light, at Pigeon Club in Hoboken, NJ, amidst surly, yet seemingly narcoleptic old Italian men with a penchant for jugs of Carlo Rossi and Entemann's donuts. Maybe after seeing these mean old men passed out in their wood-paneled club house drooling on worn out lazy boy chairs in front of a ratty early 1980's wood-paneled television with tin foil bunny rabbit ears for antennas at two o'clock in the afternoon, the band realized it wanted nothing to do with being a throw back. Call the Black Hollies a throw back and the members usual responses are either, "How about I throw you back?" Or, "Oh, did you throw your back out? You should try acupuncture and Chinese herbs."
The Black Hollies live performances pull beautifully from all three of their albums, Crimson Reflections, Casting Shadows, and Softly Towards The Light with a musical representation of where the band is currently at: its most interesting and diverse phase. Recently, The Black Hollies performed a supporting role for UK's The Heavy at Bowery Ballroom. Does anything compare to the rabid screams of encouragement uttered from 600 plus fans of The Heavy who had no idea who the Black Hollies were or what had just happened but knew only two things: that they loved it and they wanted more? I don't know, you'll have to ask one of The Black Hollies. Ed Koch was heard afterward saying, "I felt like I was seeing Zep at MSG in 1972. I thought Justin was going to start playing bass with a bow."
The Dead Exs
bring it back to mono, recording entirely LIVE in the studio with dp (David Pattillo) on electric slide guitar and vocals and Wylie Wirth on the skins.
Pattiillo is a producer with a credit list from Alanis Morrissette to the Hold Steady, The Black Crowes to the Beastie Boys and last year produced the Reni Lane debut for Universal Motown. Wirth has toured extensively in Europe and the US with various bands and was a member of the Warner Bros act Sweet Lizard Illtet.
Pattillo's love for the upbeat raw recordings of Howlin' Wolf and the garage rock of The Sonics inspired him to go back to his roots and record a true to life thrashing blues record. Although acquaintances for years and involved in various projects in NYC, Wirth and Pattillo had yet to musically meet. Their fortuitous jam session on Wirth's July birthday revealed the magic that became The Dead Exs.
Recently they were asked to open for the young rock band Carney (Stars of Spiderman on Broadway) for a "bring the house down" sold out show at Pianos NYC. Their debut record is slated for release in early 2011, with a US and European tour to follow.
The Press is a band from Brooklyn via Atlanta who will release their first full-length album INTEOTWJTEOAE this spring. This ornery foursome has spent the better part of the last five years honing their musical skills both separately and together, until they finally coalesced into their present incarnation in 2005. You can definitely divine many of the bands influences—Modest Mouse, Of Montreal, The Grateful Dead, The Violent Femmes, The Clash, Nine Inch Nails, The Everly Brothers, Burt Bacarach —but the band succeeds in letting their predecessors guide them without crowding their jocks.
The Courtesy Tier
They took the stage, the duo, be-flanneled and hairy, singer and guitarist Omer Leibovitz's worn features circling, bird-like, in front of the microphone, while Layton Weedeman saddled up next to him, nestled by a drumset. Mercury Lounge's audience filtered in punctually. Though cold as shit and rainy outside, inside was warm and cozy with fans and friends savoring the raw flavor of blues-burnt rock.
You know them, you love them, because The Courtesy Tier are seasoned performers and musicians, and play together like a no-frills dynamic duo, neither member pushing for the prominent role. Pretty much constant playing is required by both for their rocking symbiosis - Omer provides the thrashy guitars and punk-blues vocals, and Layton the clicking, splashing foundation of drums and vocal harmonies. The vibe was all the more welcoming as the Courtesy Tier sounds pretty mature, because they don't treat the audience like idiots. They are comfortable presenting their own thing, fine with being themselves onstage, not relying on patronizing shock value or cutesy bullshit.
The set was songs on the short side, lyrics as honest and forthright as their instrumental playing: "I need a friend... I need a friend... I need a friend to show me how to live again." They capture simple, serious, important feelings that none of us pay particular attention to, and preserve them in concise songs that just get the point across. But they're not downers either, as each song has a Hendrix-like heaviness and an old school blues influence (often with unison guitar and vocal lines), played with smashing precision.

Kartik Aaryan hopes to buy a private jet after his Lamborghini, but explains how he's still relatable
Last year Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan bought his dream car, a swanky Lamborghini worth Rs 4.5 crore. In a recent interview, he revealed what's next on his wish list.
Back in 2011, when Kartik Aaryan made his acting debut with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, the two things fans loved about him were his monologue and the fact that they could relate to him. Today, not only has he emerged to be janta ka superstar but is also one of the few Bollywood stars who delivered a hit this year. His horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a riot and successfully became the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022. But if there is one thing that hasn't changed, is the fact that he is still relatable.
Talking about the same in his recent interview with Film Companion, the actor shared, "I still travel in economy. I have dreams, I had a dream car and wanted a Lamborghini and I got it also. I wanted to become an actor and that got fulfilled. And the dreams are getting bigger." Kartik further added that he does dream to buy a private jet next, but that does not change him. He explained, "It doesn't stop, but the relatability factor is that I like the same food. If I go to the same hotel with mom and dad, we'll eat the same food in Gwalior, we'll eat the same paneer and naan and that's not going to change."
Well, Kartik is currently one of the most sought-after and bankable stars in town. Up next, he has an exciting line up of projects including Shehzada which is the Hindi remake of Allu Arjun's Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Shashanka Ghosh's romantic thriller Freddy, Hansal Mehta's social drama Captain India and Om Raut's action film. He will also reunite with his Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 co-star Kiara Advani in Sajid Nadiadwala-produced love saga Satyaprem Ki Katha.
We can't wait to see him on his very own private jet!

Arsenal's medical staff have given us an update on the injury situation at the club ahead of our trip to Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is back in full training after recovering from a fractured metatarsal which he picked up in our 2-0 defeat to Spurs in December's Carabao Cup clash.
The injury came at a bad time for the Armenian just days after he netted a brace at Southampton and proved to be a goal threat from out wide.
It's a position we've lacked depth in and with the arrival of Denis Suarez, we now have the numbers required for the remainder of the season.
Shkodran Mustafi's injury which saw him exit the field of play at Manchester City isn't deemed serious and he's available to face the relegation candidates.
Granit Xhaka, who's missed our last two Premier League fixtures with a groin injury, hasn't fully recovered and is being assessed ahead of the clash.
Also, Maitland-Niles is in the same stage of his recovery process from the knee injury he picked up ahead of our win against Cardiff last week.
His absence has probably been the one which has impacted the squad the most given that it comes just as Unai Emery is left reeling from the season-ending injury picked by Hector Bellerin.
If the 21-year-old misses the clash at Huddersfield, Emery will have a choice between Stephan Lichsteiner and Carl Jenkinson as to who fills the right-back slot.

Cpl working partnership fsg australia
CPL working in partnership with FSG Australia
Today, CPL – Choice, Passion, Life (formerly the Cerebral Palsy League) announced it has formed an independent partnership with FSG Australia to provide certainty of service to more than 1,500 customers receiving disability support services, and will seek to offer employment to many FSG staff.
On Thursday 21 June, FSG Australia announced the organisation would enter voluntary administration from 30 June this year, after more than 35 years of providing support to people from all walks of life in South East Queensland and northern New South Wales (down to Ballina).
CPL Chief Executive Officer Rhys Kennedy said the agreement with the Gold Coast-based business will offer FSG's customers' continuity of service supports.
"It's important to remember that at the centre of this matter are people with disabilities," Mr Kennedy said.
"I would like to reassure FSG Australia customers – and the community – that our priority is ensuring that everyone will continue to receive their services and support by our amazing team here at CPL," he said.
"From 1 July this year, CPL will support FSG customers who receive disability support services to continue their supports at CPL. This is approximately 1,500 customers who live in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.
"We have sent communications to all FSG customers receiving disability support services and FSG's staff earlier this afternoon with details on how we can help at CPL, and what the next few days and weeks will look like," Mr Kennedy said.
"CPL will begin to offer FSG's Direct Support Employees (DSEs) employment with CPL in a similar role to the one they held at FSG.
"I am extremely proud that in a year in which we are acknowledging our 70th year of supporting Queenslanders with disability, CPL is also able to extend our support to the customers and staff of an organisation faced with closing its doors after 35 years of operation," he said.

Mikel Arteta defends Willian after Arsenal's defeat to Manchester City
Metro Sport ReporterSaturday 17 Oct 2020 9:37 pm
The Brazilian had an underwhelming match playing an unfamiliar role (Picture: Getty Images)
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has defended Willian's performance against Manchester City in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at the Etihad and says the Brazilian could play as a centre-forward again in the future.
Summer signing Willian rather surprisingly lined up through the middle against City, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left, Nicolas Pepe on the right and two strikers left on the bench.
But Willian had an ineffective evening and was eventually removed from his position through the middle, with Arsenal immediately improving, and many fans questioned both his role in the side and selection ahead of players like Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette.

But Arteta was happy with what he saw from Willian and believes he will grow into the role, suggesting it may not be the last time the 32-year-old lines up through the middle.
Asked about Willian's unusual position against City, Arteta explained: 'We need to have the versatility to play in different formations, occupying different spaces.
'I believe it was a game for him, the way City play, the way they attract opponents and the spaces that can be used.
'He was really convinced as well. It was obviously really hard to leave two strikers on the bench but it was a tactical decision.'
Asked if he was happy with Willian's display, Arteta continued: 'Yes, in some moments better than others.
Arteta intends to try using Willian through the middle again in the future (Picture: AFP)
'But I think he will grow and understand better that position as we use him in other occasions, maybe surround him with other players as well.
'But I'm happy with the game he had.'
Arsenal's defeat against City extended their long wait for an away win against a top-six side and leaves them in fifth place in the Premier League table on nine points.

Microlearning has been a big trend in the learning and development world for some time now. In this blog, we take a look at the benefits of making microlearning a key component of your learning strategy.
Learning trends come and go, but the ones that tend to stick around are those that deliver real value and results for L&D teams and their organizations. Microlearning is one such trend that has transferred from 'buzzword' to an essential component of many organizations' learning strategies.
Microlearning can be delivered in pretty much any format you can imagine, from a simple PDF to a bite-sized learning game. It can be user-generated (or learner-generated) in the form of self-shot videos or a concise eLearning module.
Microlearning can be contrasted with what Josh Bersin, has called 'macrolearning'. Macrolearning is what most of us think of as traditional learning, for example, a one-hour course that tackles a range of learning objectives in some depth.
The benefits of implementing microlearning could be said to be down to the fact it's better suited to meet the needs of today's organizations, and their learners.
Today's employees need to be able to quickly adapt to the rapidly-evolving nature of work. Gaining new skills and knowledge is an essential part of keeping up with the fast pace of change that many organizations now have to operate in to maintain relevancy, and ultimately, business success.
How does microlearning help in this context? It enables the fast and targeted delivery of learning right when a learner needs it. Macrolearning-style interventions may be required to initially get learners onboard with new skills or processes, but microlearning plays a critical role in reinforcing that knowledge and delivering the detail exactly when it's needed.
Microlearning and mobile learning go hand-in-hand in an effective learning strategy.
With the vast majority of learners now freed from the confines of desktop PCs and able to use either their own or company-issued tablets and cellphones, learning can now take place anytime, anywhere.
Because microlearning delivers learning in short chunks, it's very well suited to learning on the go and making the most of short snatches of spare time. According to research by Deloitte, staff tend to able to spend just 1% of their working week on training and development. Microlearning can be an effective strategy to help learners to make the most of their time.
Research has shown that today's learners, particularly those that are more recent entrants to the workplace, prefer to learn at their own speed and pace. LinkedIn's 2019 Workplace Learning Report, which surveyed over 2,100 learners, found Generation Z and Millennial learners were more in favor of independent and self-directed modes of learning.
That means rather than being forced to sit and complete a lengthy course, they can access bite-sized pieces of content at a time and place that suits them. And depending on how the learning is presented, they may also have the freedom to pick and choose between different learning modes—whether that's watching content, reading or more interactive learning.
This is more of a 'pull' rather than 'push' method of delivering learning and involves carefully curated learning programs of a range of learning components. While this might sound like a more complicated and difficult to manage way of delivering learning, with the right platforms and tools, you can easily host and track all the different elements of a curated learning program.
It's worth noting that learners working in highly-regulated industries often have to complete a range of mandatory compliance courses, either annually or bi-annually.
In this instance, a different approach to microlearning may be required. There's a risk that breaking compliance courses up into smaller components might actually disengage learners, as it may seem like the overall volume of learning they have to complete has increased. There's also often a need to include rigorous assessments, which are often easier to add to the end of a single course, rather than trying to implement across multiple modules.
Use microlearning as a companion to longer courses by delivering short bursts of content throughout the year to reinforce key learning points.
Think about smart ways to 'micro your macro' by splitting a course into smaller topics and utilizing a range of different ways to deliver content in each one.
Test-out features are a great way to deliver a microlearning experience in a different way. Here a learner completes a test at the start of the course. If they pass, they don't have to complete the course at all and if they fail, they get recommendations on which topics to look at before attempting the test again.
We're talking microlearning and other topics at a live webinar Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 12:00pm EST. Click here to sign up for 'Making Learning More Accessible to Boost L&D Performance Results'.

'2001: A House Odyssey' Results Pioneer Douglas Trumbull Dies At 79
Douglas Trumbull, a visible results grasp who confirmed film audiences indelible photos of the longer term and of house in movies like "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Blade Runner," has died. He was 79.
His spouse Julia Trumbull mentioned he died Monday of issues from mesothelioma.
Director Edgar Wright tweeted, "RIP to an actual visionary, Doug Trumbull…he directed a childhood favourite of mine, the sci fi gem 'Silent Running.' Watch it tonight."
Producer and documentarian Charles de Lauzirika, who labored with Trumbull on "Blade Runner: The Final Cut," tweeted that, "He wasn't just innovating magnificent visuals, but also pursuing the big ideas behind whatever story he was telling."
Born in Los Angeles in 1942, Trumbull's father was visible results supervisor Donald Trumbull, who labored on "The Wizard of Oz." He obtained his begin at Graphic Works Movies, the place a in need of his caught the eye of Stanley Kubrick who was starting work on "2001: A Space Odyssey." At 23 years previous, he not solely talked himself right into a key job on "2001" however helped innovate the method that might be used to create the long-lasting star-gate sequence.
"It was a really unique time because we were at these Borehamwood Studios outside of London and it was a highly unionized studio," he said in an interview. "Here I am, this weird, L.A., young 23-year-old cowboy kid that they took on as kind of a mascot more than anything. It didn't frighten them that I would crossover between all these different departments and get components built for me to do the things I wanted to do. They were totally supportive and thought it was funny and weird and whatever, and this kid's going to do it and Kubrick says it's okay, so we'll do it, and we did some pretty amazing stuff that wouldn't have happened otherwise."

Over the course of his profession, which not too long ago included work on Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," he pushed ahead filmmaking strategies like slit-scan images, which was used for "2001." He additionally developed the Showscan film process, wherein 70mm movie is projected at 60 frames per second to create a way of heightened actuality.
After he made a reputation for himself on "2001," he labored on Robert Sensible's adaptation of "The Andromeda Strain," Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," Sensible's "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," and Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."
He made his directorial debut with "Silent Running," a dystopian sci-fi movie starring Bruce Dern wherein flowers is changing into extinct on earth. Roger Ebert, in his assessment, wrote that Trumbull "is one of the best science-fiction special-effects men. 'Silent Running,' which has deep space effects every bit the equal of those in '2001,' also introduces him as an intelligent, if not sensational, director."
He additionally directed the 1983 sci-fi movie "Brainstorm," which had the excellence of being Natalie Wooden's final function. Wooden died throughout a break in manufacturing after most of her scenes had been accomplished. The tragic demise and the next fights with MGM soured Trumbull on the enterprise and he mentioned in an interview that he had no real interest in doing one other Hollywood function.
"I just had to stop," he instructed The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. "I had been a writer-director all my life, and I decided it wasn't for me because I was put through a really challenging personal experience. I do not think the story has ever been told. I don't know the story myself, but I know what my experience was. I decided to leave the movie business."
He didn't precisely retire although — he developed the "Back to the Future" journey at Common Studios in Orlando and Los Angeles from his new residence within the Berkshires. And Trumbull would finally return to Hollywood movies after some 30 years with work on "Tree of Life," the place he consulted on the start of the universe sequence, and an experimental sci-fi brief "UFOTOG" amongst different initiatives.
Trumbull obtained three Academy Award nominations for visible results (for "Blade Runner," "Star Trek" and "Close Encounters") and, in 1992, a particular scientific and engineering award for his work serving to to design the CP-65 Showscan Digital camera System for movement image images.
In 2012, he obtained the Academy's Gordon E. Sawyer Award, a particular technical Oscar for his contributions to the business. Extra not too long ago, he was at work on a documentary about "2001" and creating a sci-fi script with John Sayles.
The household mentioned in an announcement that, "In Trumbull's memory and his love of the giant screen, we hope that you will support your local theaters."

In True knowledge exists in a network, I write, Lee Smolin describes our universe at an atomic level as curved, open, diverse and highly networked, Manuel Castells describes our society as evolving into a networked one which has significant cultural and political implications, Janine Benyus talks about nature as a highly networked open, diverse eco-system from which we as humans have much to learn revolutionising how we invent, compute, heal ourselves, harness energy, repair the environment, and feed the world.
Our nonlinear world understands everything is interconnected to everything else. This video is a wonderful demonstration of the interconnectedness of our oceans. We have much to learn from natures design models and understand our own limitations if we believe that organisations or economies work best when they are deconstructed to the point when we can no longer see nor comprehend the whole system. Watch and wonder.


In all the published photographs of Robert Oppenheimer, there appear to be very few of him smiling. In most we see an enigmatic face, often not looking directly at the camera, and even when it is, the eyes appear to be gazing somewhere beyond the photographer. Notable, because this is the man acclaimed by history as perhaps the only scientist of his time who could have charmed, cajoled, encouraged and emboldened his fellow physicists (and the countless engineers, chemists, etc.) through the (literally) monstrous task that was the Manhattan Project.
The story after the war, which occupies nearly half the book, is a heartrending portrait, not just of an extraordinary man, but of the nation he served. The great cloud that surrounded Oppenheimer was just a piece of a much larger plague of paranoia that was beginning to grip the United States. Inadvertently, "Oppie" may have fed that fear with early statements such as "Atomic weapons, even with what we know today, can be cheap." Within three weeks of the bombing of Nagasaki, he helped form the Association of Los Alamos Scientists and drafted a document urging international control of nuclear weapons.
At this point, only Einstein was a more famous scientist. From this height, he was pushed to fall. The book goes into meticulous detail on how his rivals unsheathed their long knives and made certain he was exiled from the work he loved, and made impotent in affecting nuclear policy.
American Prometheus is the best portrait yet of Oppenheimer, but ultimately the reader lacks true intimacy with the subject. Perhaps that is the very nature of the man. There are images in the book showing him at the White House, in 1963, receiving the Fermi Prize from President Johnson. At the reception, we see Oppenheimer greeting Edward Teller. Oppie is smiling.


Our Family Practice Clinic was certified as a Patient-Centered Medical Home with the National Committee for Quality Assurance in 2018.
What does that mean? As an established patient, you may notice a broader range of care when you need it, including nutritional counseling and behavioral health. We are also introducing an online patient portal, which gives you more tools to communicate with your provider 24/7.
In a nutshell, this certification builds upon the foundation of care you already know and love at the Family Practice Clinic.
Patient-Centered Medical Home is a way of delivering healthcare that puts you in charge. Your primary care provider is focused on getting to know you, and will take time to listen to concerns and coordinate your appropriate care.
The PCMH seal is a widely-recognized symbol of quality. In order to become certified, the clinic must pass a rigorous, comprehensive review, and then maintain and report on strict quality standards every year.
At Cascade Medical, we feel that the PCMH model closely follows our values and the culture we've already established in our family practice clinic. The certification process builds upon that foundation, so that we can fine-tune our processes and better serve you.
Led by your primary care provider, your care team is a group of professionals dedicated to helping you meet your health goals. As your health needs change over time, and your primary care team may evolve to include a psychologist, nutrition counselor, or patient coordinator – available in our clinic when you need them.
-- Focus on preventative care to keep you as healthy as possible.
-- Listen to all of your concerns, explain your options and help you understand your condition(s) and how to best take care of yourself.
-- Help you coordinate all of your healthcare needs, including lab work, prescriptions, preventative screenings or specialty care.
-- Use technology to communicate with you and coordinate care.
Your role is to take charge of your health. You learn about your health situation and take steps to stay as healthy as possible. You keep scheduled appointments and communicate with your care team if you have any questions, or if there are any changes in your health.

Q: C#: could generic type specify a new(type) as constrait? I've got this code snippet under vs2017 and .netstandard2.0 csproj:
    public class Foo
    {
        public Foo(int i)
        {
            _i = i;
        }

        private int _i;
    }

    public class Bar<T>
    where T : Foo, new(), new(int) // error
    {
        public T Create()
        {
            return new T(8); // error
        }
    }

It doesn't compile, I googled and found adding this new(int) should work, but actually doesn't. How to make it work? Some solutions from internet involves creating a very complex interface+factory methods, but my usage request is just as simple as this, is it really needed to use interface+factory method for "Foo" instance creation in a generic type Bar that use it?
Is there a way to make my code work?
Thanks a lot.

The pragmatic developer may also select dry cooling early in a project because it increases plant siting options and its use can significantly accelerate approval of construction permits because water use issues are taken off the table. Shortening a project schedule by even six months can completely change the economics of a project and easily balance the increased capital cost of dry cooling options.
Dry cooling applications in the U.S. have not been limited to arid regions but have also been specified for plants sited in eastern, northern, and mountain areas where water is typically more abundant (Figure 1). Why is that? In recent years, there are many more reasons to consider dry cooling in general, and the air-cooled condenser (ACC) in particular, than just the lack of available water (see sidebar). For instance, there are strong indicators that dry cooling applications are becoming a standard power plant design option. In fact, even areas with abundant water resources–like England, Ireland, Belgium, Luxemburg, and northern Italy (Figure 2)–are adopting the technology. In fact, the largest combined-cycle plant in Europe is rated at 1,200 MW and uses an air-cooled condenser.
1. Popular choice. Air-cooled condensers have been installed on power plants across North America. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
The direct dry cooling option condenses turbine exhaust steam inside finned tubes, which are externally cooled by ambient air instead of sea or river water, as in once-through water-cooled plants. There are two options for circulating the ambient air for condensate cooling: either use fans to move the air or leverage nature's draft.
The natural draft system uses the familiar hyperbolic tower that can exceed 300 feet in height with a series of heat exchangers (Figure 12). The other, more familiar design option is the air-cooled condenser, which uses motor-driven fans instead of relying on the natural buoyancy of warm air. The large size of hyperbolic towers make the natural draft option a niche application for small sites in the U.S. Consequently, about 90% of the dry-cooled power plants in the world use the air-cooled condenser option with mechanical draft (Figure 13).
12. Free cooling. An indirect dry-cooling system was installed at the 6 x 686-MW power plant in Kendal, South Africa. In this cooling system design, water is circulated from a standard condenser to the tower, where it enters a series of heat exchange elements on the base. Air enters the bottom periphery of the tower, passing over heat exchange elements. The heated air rises inside the tower, pulling in more cool air. No fans are required. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
13. Waterless condensing. Steam enters the air-cooled condenser at the top (blue pipe) of the heat exchangers, flows downward through the heat exchanger tubes, and it condenses and is captured in pipes at the base of the heat exchangers. The condensate is then returned to the boiler water system. Mechanical fans force air over the heat exchangers. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
Steam discharged from the turbine exhaust enters a steam distribution manifold located on top of the ACC structure. The steam is then distributed into the fin tube heat exchangers arranged in a "roof structure" with an A-shape configuration. Flowing down inside the tubes, steam condenses due to the cooling effect of ambient air drawn over the external finned surface of the tubes by the fans. The fans are located at the bottom part of the A-shape framework. Condensate drains from the fin tube heat exchangers into condensate manifolds and then drains to a condensate tank, before being pumped to the conventional feed heating plant, or to the boiler.
An ACC operates under vacuum just as a conventional surface condenser does. Air and other noncondensable gases enter the steam from several sources, including leaks through the system boundary, and from the steam turbine. Noncondensable gases are evacuated in a separate section of the ACC called the "secondary" section, which is connected to vacuum pumps or air ejectors that exhaust the noncondensable gases to the atmosphere.
The principle difference between ACC designs from different suppliers is in the details of the heat exchanger and its finned tubes. There are basically two types of heat exchangers: single-row and multi-row. There are many arguments regarding the advantages of each concept. The single-row design is inherently more suitable in extreme freezing ambient conditions (Figure 14). There are also three tube shapes available in the market: round, oval, and flat. Oval and flat tubes are the most sophisticated and perform better under just about all conditions.
14. Tube configurations. Compare the tube configurations for a single-row design (top) and a multiple-row design (bottom). Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
The fin shape also varies between suppliers. Some fin types are less susceptible to fouling and are mechanically more resistant in transient conditions. The best quality fins have a strong bond to the bare tube, which guarantees a useful life expectancy comparable to that of the power plants.
The final important design factor is the material selected for the finned tubes. Aluminum fins brazed on flat bare tubes coated with aluminum, or oval galvanized finned tubes bundles, are generally recognized as the two most reliable technologies for use in power plants.
2. Strong European market. An air-cooled condenser was used at the gas-fired 460-MW Bruges Power Plant in Belgium. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
China is very concerned about further stressing its water supplies and has adopted dry cooling for many of its new power plants. In fact, China has installed air-cooled condensers on over 35,000 MW of its burgeoning fleet of new plants and has dominated the market in installations over the past several years (Figure 3). Over the past two years, China has purchased an average of one new ACC per month for new coal-fired power plants, with typical capacities of 2 x 300-MW or 2 x 600-MW (Figure 4).

4. Growing market. An air-cooled condenser was installed at China's 2 x 300-MW coal-fired Zhangshan Power Plant. The market for air-cooling equipment in China continues to be very strong thanks to the country's focus on building coal-fired power plants. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
In China, as well for other locations across the world, a plant site no longer has to be located close to a water source if ACC is selected. Instead, the location can be optimized with regard to transmission lines and either gas distribution lines (for combined-cycle plants) or rail lines (for coal-fired plants). In China, solid fuel plants are generally located near coal mines, which explains that country's recent interest in air cooling.
Finally, the cost of land can be reduced when a lake-, river-, or oceanfront plant site isn't required.
Between the 1960s and 1990s, Europe had a very small market for large or midsize power plants. Instead, it relied on large coal-fired central station and nuclear plants. In contrast, dry-cooling designs grew in popularity in the Middle East, China, South Africa, and the U.S., driven by the lack of water (at coal mine locations, in desert environs, or for other similar reasons). After 1990, the world market for dry cooling began to explode and has multiplied about 20 times in the past 13 years alone (Figure 5).
5. Bursting at the seams. The world market for air-cooled condensers has exploded over the past 15 years. The European growth can be attributed to the recent spike in new gas-fired combined-cycle power plants. Source: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
In the very short term, the market for dry-cooling equipment will probably continue to be quite active in China, considering the huge electrical requirements of this rapidly growing country. Reasonable growth is also expected in Europe, as many European Union countries have a renewed interest in managing their future water supplies. The Middle East (Emirates area) and India will certainly also become two very important markets in the near future. In the U.S., the market has been steadily growing since the middle of 2005.
Perhaps one of the most challenging combined-cycle projects on record was the 550-MW Astoria Energy project, constructed on a 23-acre site along the East River, in Astoria, Queens, New York City (NYC). The ACC design used 36-foot-diameter fans designed for low noise, because the tuning rooms of the world-famous Steinway Piano factory are directly across the street from the plant. The project entered commercial service in May 2006.
The $565 million Astoria Energy was the largest plant built in NYC in over 25 years. The plant is a 2 x 1 configuration anchored by two GE 7FA gas turbines, two Alstom heat-recovery steam generators (HRSGs), an Alstom steam turbine, and an SPX Cooling Technologies air-cooled steam condenser.
The project was completed less than 24 months after the first shovel of dirt was turned. This schedule may seem like a stroll in Central Park to an experienced plant constructor–if you've got a greenfield site in the Midwest. Not so in NYC, where trucks have limited access to this small industrial site with no significant laydown area. That means the construction sequence had to be supported by daily, on-time material deliveries, making it a just-in-time construction project. What the plant site provided, however, was deep water access to accommodate barge delivery of equipment. The Astoria Energy project pushed the limits of off-site equipment modularization, and the two-year project timeframe attests to its success.
The major contractors on the project–which included The Shaw Group, Alstom Power, and SPX Cooling Technologies–transformed typical construction practices by assembling major modules, including fully assembled HRSGs and the air condenser, out-of-state and then barging them to the site. One interesting practical reason the project was approved: NYC requires that 80% of all electricity be generated within the five boroughs because of limited transmission capacity into the city.
One of the major NYC permit hurdles was to design a plant that eliminated use of the East River for once-through cooling. In fact, the final permit specifies that the ACC will not consume or reject any water into the environment.
Ship prefabricated assemblies. The ACC for this project consisted of 24 modules/fans and was preassembled 300 miles south of NYC in a shipyard located near Norfolk, Virginia. This off-site facility allowed space and time to pre-erect the ACC modules well in advance of when they were needed at the Astoria site. The more temperate climate increased labor productivity in Virginia, and just as important, the site had more-than-adequate room for material laydown and lifting equipment (Figure 6).
6. Step 1. The Astoria Energy project's air-cooled condensers (ACC) were preassembled in Norfolk, Virginia. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
The 24-module ACC was built in 12 side-by-side module sections (Figure 7). Each of the 12 ACC sections measured almost 43 feet wide x 85 feet long x 49 feet tall, and each weighed approximately 300 metric tons. Two sections of the ACC were lifted onto a barge and then two barges were shipped together from Virginia to the job site by tugboat (Figure 8).
7. Step 2. A total of 12 ACC modules, each with two fans, were required for the project. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
8. Step 3. The preassembled modules were then barged to the Queens, New York job site. Each barge carried two completed sections plus additional, large-diameter steam pipe. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
Rapid assembly and start-up. Only nine months after the contract award, the ACC sections started to arrive at the Astoria site for final assembly. When the barges arrived at the job site, they were immediately offloaded onto a low-profile industrial-strength motorized dolly and rolled into position next to the ACC steel support structure that had already been erected on site (Figure 9). A 1,000-ton crane lifted each of the 12 modules into place, at the rate of about two sections per week (Figure 10).
9. Step 4. Each ACC section was rolled from the barge landing to the adjacent job site. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
10. Step 5. A crane was used to place each of the 12 ACC sections onto a field-erected steel support structure. Courtesy: SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
The steam duct, also preassembled off-site, arrived for final assembly at the job site in lengths determined by the long barge dimension. In all, 80% of the total man-hours required to assemble the ACC were worked in Virginia, resulting in significant cost savings compared to job site fabrication (Figure 11). Also, compared to other ACC combined-cycle projects in the area, the modularization approach easily reduced the time required for installation of the ACCs by 50%.

Excess levels of radiation found in 3 negative-ion products
Taipei, May 15 (CNA) Three negative-ion products sold by retailers in Taiwan have been found to emit radiation higher than the permissible level of 1 millisievert (mSv) and ordered removed from shelves, the Executive Yuan's Department of Consumer Protection said Wednesday.
The three items -- a face mask, comforter and blanket -- were among 25 samples of anion products randomly tested by the Atomic Energy Council (AEC), including 15 samples taken by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) and 10 by the Food and Drug Administration.
The highest radiation level of 7.05 mSv was measured from a negative-ion comforter, while 4.70 mSv was detected from a double-face energy blanket and 1.884 mSv from a Beauty Player All-In-One thermal mask, according to the results of the tests.
As excessive exposure to ionizing radiation can cause cancer in humans, the department ordered the three products removed from stores, in accordance with the law.
Producers of the products will be given a set period to make improvements or face a fine ranging from NT$60,000 (US$1,927) to NT$1.5 million.
Retailers that continue to sell the products are subject to the same fine and further fines will be imposed on repeat offenders, senior consumer ombudsman Wang Te-ming (王德明) said.
The source of radioactivity is the mineral powder used to make the products and so the department will ask the AEC to improve its management of the raw materials from which negative-ion powder products are manufactured, in order to ensure consumers' rights are fully protected, according to Wang.

Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) uses either ATP or UTP as a phosphoryl donor to catalyze the phosphorylation of nucleoside acceptors. The kinetic properties of human dCK are modulated in vivo by phosphorylation of serine 74. This residue is a part of the insert region and is distant from the active site. Replacing the serine with a glutamic acid (S74E variant) can mimic phosphorylation of Ser74. To understand how phosphorylation affects the catalytic properties of dCK, we examined the S74E variant of dCK both structurally and kinetically. We observe that the presence of a glutamic acid at position 74 favors the adoption by the enzyme of the open conformation. Glu74 stabilizes the open conformation by directly interacting with the indole side chain of Trp58, a residue that is in the proximity of the base of the nucleoside substrate. The open dCK conformation is competent for the binding of nucleoside but not for phosphoryl transfer. In contrast, the closed conformation is competent for phosphoryl transfer but not for product release. Thus, dCK must make the transition between the open and closed states during the catalytic cycle. We propose a reaction scheme for dCK that incorporates the transition between the open and closed states, and this serves to rationalize the observed kinetic differences between wild-type dCK and the S74E variant.
