This makes a big delicious batch so I freeze half for another day.
Heat ½ tbsp oil over a medium heat, add the garlic, carrot and onion and sweat until soft. Add a little water if it is going dry – keep the lid on.
Stir in the tomato puree, the ras el hanout and the harissa and cook for 1 minute, tip in the rinsed lentils, season, add the stock, stir well, bring to the boil then reduce until it is simmering and leave to cook, with the lid on. When the veg and lentils are cooked, blend with a stick blender and taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve with a swirl of harissa on the top .
Autumn is here and this is the kind of thing I love with a cup of coffee, not massively sweet and with some more complex flavours thanks to the dates and mixed spice. I think the whole family will like this and it is really easy to make.
Add the dates and water to the pot and bring to the boil, then simmer very gently until the dates are soft. Blend with a stick blender until it forms a paste.
Beat the butter and honey together until light, add in the eggs and buttermilk and beat well.
Fold in the flour, spice and bread soda.
Pour into a greased lined loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes until a skewer comes out clear.
Leave for a few minutes then remove to cool fully.

Market Commentary: Concerns About New Covid Variant Pushed Markets Lower; Core Inflation Rose 0.4%
Concerns about the Omicron variant raised the risk of additional lockdowns and contributed to a decline of more than 2% in the S&P 500 on the day after Thanksgiving. The COVID-19 variant, first detected in South Africa, triggered travel restrictions in the U.S. and Europe.
Key Points for the Week
New cases of the Omicron variant are being discovered, and concerns about renewed social distancing pushed markets lower on Friday.
Core inflation rose 0.4% last month and has climbed 4.1% in the last year, according to the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation.
The number of cargo ships waiting to unload at Southern California's main port has dropped by 45% in the last two weeks, indicating shipping challenges are continuing to improve.
Other data points provided a mixed picture. Energy and automobile prices shot higher and contributed to inflation increasing 0.6% based on the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price deflator. Large price jumps for gasoline and automobiles contributed to the increase. Stripping out the volatile food and energy components lower the increase to 0.4% in October and 4.1% during the last year.
Supply chain challenges, which have contributed to higher inflation, seem to be improving. The number of cargo ships waiting to unload at either Los Angeles or Long Beach harbors dropped from 111 to 61 in the last two weeks. Supply chain issues have slowed housing construction. Approximately 36% of new homes have been purchased but construction has yet to be started.
The S&P 500 index sagged 2.2% last week. The MSCI ACWI fell 2.8%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index also dropped 0.3% last week. The October employment report and news about the Omicron variant will be at the top of our list to monitor this week.
Risk #1 is Back
At the beginning of each quarter, we identify five big risks to watch. Virus variants have been the top risk for many quarters in a row. Unfortunately, it looks like Risk #1 is about to reassert itself. The Omicron variant was discovered in South Africa, and other cases have popped up in other parts of Africa and Europe. Some experts believe the variant may have developed elsewhere in Africa and then transferred to South Africa.
Our concern has always been a more contagious variant that renders vaccines less effective could push economies back into lockdown. It is not yet known whether Omicron causes more severe illness or is vaccine resistant, but medical experts are concerned the high number of mutations compared to previous variants will cause it spread even more rapidly than Delta.
Even if the Omicron variant spreads rapidly, the economic and market impact is unlikely to be as severe as the first COVID wave. Countries and companies have proven an ability to adjust to lockdowns and find ways to maximize output while reducing spread and interaction. The U.S. and many European countries banned travel from South Africa and some other African countries to help contain the variant.
The resurgence of virus risk comes as other top risks were also making news. The presidents of China (Risk #2) and the U.S. held a call to smooth out differences. Early signs indicated supply chain difficulties (Risk #4) may be easing. The number of containers left at the docks in Long Beach and Los Angeles, which account for about 40% of freight entering the U.S., decreased by 33% in the last two weeks.
Hiring also continues to improve. U.S. first-time jobless claims fell to their lowest level in 52 years, dropping to 199,000 for the first time since 1969. Initial claims have been steadily decreasing since an uptick in September when fears of the Delta variant peaked. Initial claims have now dropped below the 2019 average of 218,000 (Figure 1). This data is further evidence that the U.S. labor market is continuing to recover from policy decisions (Risk #3) that helped push some people out of the workforce.
The emergence of a new variant and the good news on the supply chain and jobs reinforce our view that we should remain risk-aware but optimistic. In many ways, investor behavior (Risk #5) is the risk we control the most and analyze the least. Just because the S&P 500 hadn't dropped more than 1% since early October didn't mean it couldn't at any time. Don't be surprised if markets get more volatile as they quickly adjust in price to reflect new information. Likewise, look for supposedly intractable problems to potentially be solved by the steady effort and innovation of capitalist economies.

A Welsh legal jurisdiction, and its effects on legislation
I haven't properly posted about the Welsh Government's consultation on the idea of establishing a separate Welsh legal jurisdiction. They launched this in late March and it's reputedly a concern close to Carwyn Jones's heart. Details are here, the consultation paper itself is available here, and the closing date for responses is 19 June. The consultation paper is open-ended (or open-minded) in the extreme. In essence, the paper is a set of exam questions about whether there should be a separate legal jurisdiction for Wales and what form it should take. Examinees, sorry respondents, are required to 'give reasons' for all their answers.
One important point about legal jurisdictions is that, in the common-law world, they invariably coincide with the existence of a legislature. Thus, in Canada, even a tiny province like Prince Edward Island has its own legal jurisdiction – as well as a provincial legislature. In federal systems, there will also be a legal jurisdiction attached to the federal order/level; so PEI is both a jurisdiction of its own, in relation to exclusively provincial matters, and part of the jurisdiction of Canada in relation to federal ones. The civil-law world works differently, and can more easily accommodate multiple legislatures passing laws for particular territories within a single legal jurisdiction. Thus, there is a single German or Swiss jurisdiction, despite the existence of federal and Land or cantonal parliaments that can both pass laws.
The UK has taken a somewhat different approach. We have no 'UK-wide' jurisdiction, overlapping geographically with those of the devolved legislatures but operating in relation to separate powers – which is what one would expect if UK had followed a federal model. There are three jurisdictions: that of England and Wales, and those of Scotland and Northern Ireland. In essence, the Northern Ireland jurisdiction follows the same common law rules as England and Wales (though Northern Ireland has different land law). Scots law is, of course, very different to that of England and Wales – and is governed by two legislatures, at Westminster and Holyrood. While the task of looking after the body of Scots law overall falls to the Scottish Parliament, some important aspects of Scots law – the law relating to banking, for example – is beyond Holyrood's purview as it relates to reserved matters.
The debate about the idea of establishing a Welsh legal jurisdiction comes against this background. The existence of a devolved legislature, and a distinct body of law, cause increasing strains within the body of the law of England and Wales. There is little new in this – the issue was raised with me in one of the very first interviews I did with government lawyers, back in 2002. But with the National Assembly having acquired primary legislative powers, the pressures for that have increased – and will increase yet further as the Assembly becomes more active in making laws. The Welsh Government's consultation may well be an attempt to help shape an important issue for the second part of the work of the Silk Commission, due to start in the autumn of 2012, about the devolution of further functions. The issue is also the subject of an ongoing inquiry by the Assembly's Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. Cheryl Gillan has, however, already signalled her opposition to it, talking of its 'glaringly obvious' risks. (While there are various risks, I have to say that they are not glaringly obvious to me.)
Gillan is wrong in at least one respect – that creating a separate jurisdiction would necessarily involve the devolution of criminal law. It would be quite possible to establish a Welsh jurisdiction without devolving any further substantive functions, including particularly criminal law. A 'jurisdiction lite' would entail creating Wales as a separate legal jurisdiction, which would have two key features (as well as a defined territory within which to apply): a distinct body of law, and a distinct set of courts. The fact that the law and the courts would be 'distinct' does not necessarily mean that they would be separate from, or different to, those in England. The justices of what is now the High Court of England and Wales could be authorised to sit as members of the High Courts of England, and of Wales, and likewise for the Court of Appeal. Westminster would continue, as at present, to be the sole legislature for some (non-devolved) matters, with other devolved ones being determined by the National Assembly. Even control and accountability of the new Welsh jurisdiction could remain a matter for the UK Government and Parliament. All that would necessarily change (other than a pretty small additional administrative overhead) would be that the laws of England and of Wales would be different as a matter of form as well as substance. (The change in substance is already happening.)
This is not necessarily to recommend such a stripped-down, bare-bones approach to a legal jurisdiction. Another approach is to treat the establishment of a legal jurisdiction, and the devolution of functions relating to the legal system, as part of the next stage in Welsh devolution. The point, however, is that devolving such additional functions is part of a choice about how Welsh devolution develops. The direct and necessary implications of a separate legal jurisdiction are very limited.
However, establishing a separate jurisdiction then opens the door to another possible change. That is moving to the 'reserved powers' model of devolution that Scotland and (in a modified form) Northern Ireland have, rather than the 'defined powers' model Wales presently has. It would be very hard, if not impossible, to create the 'reserved powers' model without having a separate Welsh legal jurisdiction as well. There would be such serious questions about the nature and extent of devolved law-making powers without one that the Assembly might find it very hard to do anything at all.
Whether to move to the 'reserved powers' model is a major question, and it lies at the centre of the talk I gave to a symposium in Cardiff on Friday organised by Public Law Wales and the Law Society's Wales Office on 'The Separate Welsh Jurisdiction'. I argued that there are some serious problems with the present legislative arrangements. Some of these arise from the way the Sewel convention works, and how seriously it is taken in Whitehall. Others arise from the way devolved legislative competence works at the margin, and the need under the present arrangement for the legislator to show that devolved legislation 'relates to' a devolved matter – the converse of the test for Scotland or Northern Ireland, where the issue is whether the legislation 'relates to' a reserved (or excepted) matter. A further source of difficulty is the way that functions of UK Ministers are protected, which again contrasts with the position for Scotland – though the history of Wales's administrative entanglement with England means there are many more such matters. That means that a good deal of devolved legislation is likely to require the consent of the Secretary of State. The legislation regarding an 'opt-out' system of organ donation will be an early test of how that works. A 'reserved powers' model would help somewhat with some of these problems, but it would not be a panacea. Quite a bit more work will need to be done to come to a stable and workable form of Welsh devolution, I suspect.
The slides from my talk at the symposium can be found HERE.

An interesting and informative post. The sooner the move to 'reserved powers' takes place, the better it will be for Wales and its people. The powers of government and legislature must be clear.
A separate legal jurisdiction is inevitable.
If policing and criminal justice can be devolved to Scotland and NI, why not to Wales?

Tim Eyman's latest initiative would undo local transportation choices
Lola E. Peters

Tim Eyman has dropped another cute little mouse on our doorstep. Awww. No question he thinks he's giving us a gift. The problem: Like many suitors, he isn't giving us what we want, but what he thinks we should have.
Initiative 976 is Eyman's newest attempt to "limit annual motor vehicle license fees to $30, except voter-approved charges, repeal and remove authority to impose certain vehicle taxes and charges; and base vehicle taxes on Kelley Blue Book rather than the dishonest, inaccurate, and artificially inflated manufacturer's suggested retail price (MRSP)."
Except, it's even worse than that, because it would repeal voter-approved Sound Transit vehicle license fees. He's seeking a statewide decision to overturn fees already approved by local voters. In addition, the measure would wipe out charges by cities and towns — more than 60 of them, according to The Seattle Times — of $20 to $80 per year for their own transportation needs.
I‑976 is yet another Eyman attempt to shrink government. Another misguided belief that small government is best.
Not all of us agree with that premise. I certainly don't, and here's why.
First, the practical. Renewal of my 2006 Scion xB's license cost $164.75, including the Sound Transit fees. I drove about 10,000 miles last year, so my license cost just under 2 cents a mile. Aside from paying gas taxes, that was my contribution to the repaving of I-5, stabilization of Highway 99 through downtown Seattle, extension of light rail to the University District, every annoying bus or bike lane on every artery in the region, regular clearing of snow and ice on Snoqualmie Pass and all of Eastern Washington, and countless other projects. I contributed 2 cents a mile over a one-year period. I spent more getting eyeglasses at Costco!
Then there's the philosophical. There are a few million people living in this basin we call Puget Sound. I know a thousand or so of them, 25 well, maybe 10 really well. Somehow, I need to live among the other million-plus with a sense of safety and purpose. There ought to be some kind of contract that spells out how we're going to share this space, without duking it out each time we disagree about something. Our predecessors across the West tried the gunfight-at-noon model, and it's embarrassing to think back on the outcomes. Like new roommates, newlyweds or lovers, we need something that details our agreements about expected behaviors, including accountability structures and consequences.
Oh, wait! There's this thing called the Constitution. There's a federal version and a state version, and each spells out our vision for living together within the same geographic boundaries. The details, substitutes for ancestral violence, are embodied within laws we agree to live by. Each time we elect city, county, state, or federal officials, we give them the power to take up and resolve issues on our behalf. We vet their values against our own, scrutinize their integrity and character, and send them off to bolster the infrastructure of our local, state, and national relationships. Sometimes they choose options not in my personal best interest, but it turns out to be what they agree is necessary for the other million-plus people they represent. If it isn't, they'll be roundly voted out of office the next time around. And sometimes values of the current day turn out to be out of line with our long-term vision of who we have decided to be as a city, region, state, or country, so we need a do-over. That's why those representatives have to prove their case for re-election over and over.
The fewer and more vague the details of the laws they consider, the more room for misunderstanding, confusion, corruption and deceit: "We will take turns taking out the trash" versus "You will take out the trash on alternate Tuesdays starting Jan. 3 and I will take out the trash on alternate Tuesdays starting Jan. 10." The first instance leads to, "I thought it was your turn," or "It was a holiday so I thought we skipped it," or "You forgot last time, so I thought you'd do it this time." Oh, yes. This is where relationships break down. Seems simple enough: more detailed, enforceable laws equal better government. Bigger government, with enforced accountability, is better.
It's hard to see how denying the government the money to do its job will result in better government, although that's what Eyman and Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen seem to think. After Eyman's initiative got enough signatures to force the Legislature to act on it or let it go to voters in November, Blethen tweeted, "Voters get their say about being treated dishonestly by Sound Transit and local officials. This should be a powerful message for transparency and accountability."
It is quite the irony to have of one of the wealthier people in our region, with access to resources beyond the imagination of most of us, threatening transportation projects impacting millions of people throughout the state simply as the way to teach one agency a lesson. Next, the wealthy will be demanding we build a wall somewhere.
If I can pay my 2 cents a mile for bike lanes I will never use, or for snowplows in Spokane, surely they can pitch in for projects that don't benefit them. Believe me, as a West Seattleite, I have plenty to complain about when it comes to transportation, especially SoundTransit. Maybe Messrs. Eyman and Blethen could present the Seattle Department of Transportation, Washington Department of Transportation and SoundTransit with constructive ideas to provide my neighbors some relief, or lobby Mayor Jenny Durkan to stop developers from building any more unsustainable frankencondos. That would be a welcome mouse.
While $30 car tabs sounds like a wonderful relief to our pocketbooks, it comes at a cost to the future. We cannot, with integrity, complain about the transportation options in our region and simultaneously defund the projects meant to correct the problems. We cannot say we want people to have a livable wage in our region, and insist on deleting their salaries from our coffers. So, thanks for thinking of us, Mr. Eyman, but no thanks.

Transmission of WNV by: percutaneous, conjunctival or mucosal contamination is possible. For this reason, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has issued specific guidelines for workers who may come in contact with WNV. These guidelines are consistent with Standard Precautions.
Use personal protective equipment that provides barrier protection including gloves, gowns, safety glasses, and/or face shields to avoid dermal and mucous membrane contact with blood and other tissues.
If conducting necropsies, wear gloves that prevent cutting injuries, such as stainless steel mesh gloves, in addition to medical examination gloves.
Wash hands and other skin surfaces with soap and water immediately after contact with blood or other tissues, after removing gloves, and before leaving the workplace.
Minimize the generation of aerosols.
Handle sharp instruments carefully during use.
Use medical devices with safety features when available to avoid sharps-related injuries. Avoid recapping needles.
Dispose of sharp instruments carefully after use.
Report to the supervisor all needlestick and other sharps-related injuries.
Report to the supervisor any laboratory incidents or accidents involving possible WNV exposure.
Report to the supervisor any symptoms consistent with WNV infection.
The precautions that are advised for WNV are substantially different from universal precautions.
In addition, the general public and especially children, should be discouraged from handling, found, sick or dead animals. Bites or accidental contamination by blood or body fluid can result in disease transmission. In the event of finding a sick or dead animal, the local animal control agency should be notified. Animal control personnel are trained in the safe management these circumstances and will initiate appropriate surveillance protocols if warranted.

Motivations and Fan Engagement Related to Professional Bass Fishing Spectatorship, pp. 6-18
Authors: Matthew J. Bernthal, Todd Koesters, Khalid Ballouli, and Matthew T. Brown
Abstract: The current research profiles professional bass fishing fans and examines the factors (motivations and fan engagement) underlying their fandom. Data were collected from fans attending two top-level professional bass fishing tournaments. Results showed that identifying with bass fishing as one's favorite sport is positively related to spectating, as is to a lesser degree acquisition of knowledge and viewing pro anglers as role models for children. Other motivations such as aesthetics, drama/eustress, and vicarious achievement were found to be less important in their relationship to spectating. Results also indicate that fan engagement variables of fishing organization membership, participation in fantasy fishing sponsored by the tournament organization, having a favorite pro angler in the top-level tournament series, and amount of bass fishing done by fans are positively related to spectating behaviors, and that those fans engaged vs. unengaged in each of these four variables differ with regard to motivations related to spectating.
The Effects of Gender and Social Roles on the Marketing of Combat Sport, pp. 19-29
Authors: T. Christopher Greenwell, Meg Hancock, Jason M. Simmons, and Dustin Thorn
Abstract: As mixed martial arts (MMA) continues to grow, marketers are challenged with finding acceptable ways to market an inherently violent sport. The inclusion of women as participants further complicates the issue. In order to understand how violent MMA marketing messages may be perceived differently when female competitors are displayed in advertising rather than male competitors, attitude towards the ad was assessed using a series of six advertisements (2 fighter sex x 3 levels of violence) developed for a hypothetical mixed martial arts event. Findings suggest the sex of the fighter displayed in the picture does influence respondents' attitudes toward the advertisement. Further, those attitudes were influenced by the respondent's own sex and/or his/her perceptions of gendered social roles.
The Immediate Impact of Coach Succession on Season Ticket Holder Attitudes, pp. 30-42
Authors: Adam Karg, Heath McDonald, and Geoff Schoenberg
Abstract: This study is the first to examine the immediate impact that succession events (e.g., removal and hiring) involving head coaches have on season ticket holder (STH) attitudes like satisfaction and renewal intentions. Grounded within a customer equity framework, large-scale survey data from cases of two professional sport teams is presented showing STH attitudes directly before and after major succession events. The data shows that appointing a new coach was met with increases in positive attitudes toward almost every aspect of the STH experience, where the case of removing a coach had no meaningful impact on attitudes. The findings of these cases reaffirm the view that coach succession is a multiple-phase process including distinct stages of removal and replacement. While it is the desire for improved on-field performance that often motivates coach succession, our findings suggest the impact of succession activities on fans is more wide ranging, with significant implications for marketers who manage fan relationships. In guiding the management of a team's fans, coach removal alone should not be relied upon to change attitudes or intentions toward a club. Appointing new leaders completes the cycle, increasing positive STH attitudes and, most importantly, giving an immediate lift to renewal likelihood.
A Comparison of College Football and NASCAR Consumer Profiles: Identity Formation and Spectatorship Motivation, pp. 43-55
Authors: Shaughan A. Keaton, Nicholas M. Watanabe, and Christopher C. Gearhart
Abstract: This research is a comparison of identification and motivation factors between sports with team as a point of attachment (college football) and sports with an individual athlete as a point of attachment (NASCAR). The results contribute to advancing our understanding of identity formation and spectator motivation. Geography and family were found to be important antecedents of college football team identification, while media influence drove consumer identification with NASCAR drivers. NASCAR sport consumers were prone to watch their sport casually, while college football sport consumers were influenced to watch their sport by the aesthetics of the game, and a relationship to other recreational activities such as tailgating. Findings help us to understand what specific factors play a role in individuals connecting with different types of sport symbols, but also have implications for the management, marketing, communications, and selling of sport and sport-related products.
Linking Fan Values and Sponsorship Effectiveness: The Case of Old School Values, pp. 56-66
Authors: Damon Aiken, Ajay Sukhdial, Lynn Kahle, and James A. Downing
Abstract: Values have been defined as closely held beliefs that play a major role in guiding behaviors and influencing attitudes. Previous researchers have noted that a key objective of sponsorship-linked marketing is to create strong and lasting values-based connections between fans and sponsors and has called for new research examining such fan-to-sponsor connections. The current work is the first to answer this call by providing a foundational investigation into the relationship between Old School values and varied aspects of sponsorship effectiveness. Two studies were conducted using return-mail exit surveys, one at an NCAA men's collegiate basketball game and another at a professional hockey match. The authors conclude, based on the findings, that fans do embrace Old School values and that those embracing such values have significantly higher sponsorship recognition rates and predominantly more positive perceptions of sponsors. The work also investigates a proposed positive relationship between Old School values and team identification levels. Lastly, the work uncovers some significant demographic differences.
You Agreed to What? Implications of Past Agreements Between Donors and Athletic Support Groups, pp. 67-69
Authors: Todd Koesters, Matthew T. Brown, and John Grady
Abstract: There is very little argument today that college athletics as a whole is big business, with the NCAA generating almost $1 billion annually in revenues (Alesia, 2014). More than 80% of this revenue is generated by the men's championship basketball tournament alone. NCAA Division I-FBS football, which operates under its new playoff system utilizing the current bowl system, generates even more money for the "Power 5" conferences. As a result, the 15 highest grossing athletic departments combined to generate revenues in excess of $1 billion (Morgan, n.d.). These revenues have led to a dramatic rise in new construction projects on college campuses with regard to athletic facilities.

- How do you change the starting weapon? I looked at the vanilla classes and noticed they used weapons tagged as "WEAPON NAME_N00", but when I add them to my own class, nothing happens.
- Similar question to above, how do I change the default outfit to a custom one? I know how to switch between the vanilla classes' outfits and mix 'n match, but I don't know how to change the outfits to completely new ones. I've seen a few custom classes that have custom outfits and I want to do the same with my own class.
If you want the same weapon for both the male and female genders, you can put this block in the "base" .DAT file of your class and the genders will inherit this setting. If you want separate weapons for the genders, put this block in each gender's .DAT file specifying the different weapons.
- Similar question to above, how do I change the default outfit to a custom one? I know how to switch between the vanilla classes' outfits and mix 'n match, but I don't know how to change the outfits to completely new ones.
The info about putting this in the .DAT file of the "base" unit, or of the gender units also holds true here.
Right after each _OVERRIDE: is the UNIT NAME of the armor unit you want to use. So it can be an existing armor unit, or a custom unit you "made" for your class (the example above is from the Alchemist class in the TL1CP mod, so those are custom armor units).
Unfortunately there are overrides only for chest, boots and pants armor units, none for shoulders and helmets.

I have had two best friends since elementary school. However, one of them, Susan, moved our junior year to a different high school. At first, it wasn't too bad; we all talked and decided we would hang out when we had time. However, then we didn't have enough time during the school year. So, we decided that over the summer we would hang out.
Then came the summer. Everyone was busy. Then it was the beginning of our senior year. Susan called my other friend and I and told us she was getting married. Wait, WHAT? Married? For real? We didn't know what to say. I mean, yeah, we still talked during that year we had been away from each other, and she told us about her different boyfriends, but I didn't think she would say something like that. Of the three of us, she was the one most likely to get married last.
Let's get things straight. Susan is a straight A student and was the salutatorian until she left for the other high school. Her family has the strongest Christian morals I have ever seen. She had always been very intent on her education. But now she plans on getting married? Where did that come from??
Maybe if my other friend and I would have seen her more often in that apparently life-changing year, we could have changed the course of her life. Maybe she could learn to be an independent young woman instead of going from her father's house straight to her husband's house. Maybe things would have been different. But we will never know. Now, my friend and I will just have to live with her choices, and so will she. I'm not saying I hope the relationship crashes and burns - far from it. I just hope she knows what she is getting herself into. I hope her soon-to-be-husband is the right one for her.

Twitter you made a fool of me!
February 4, 2010 Christina Khoury	20 Comments
Wait, maybe I made a fool of myself.
January 13, 2010, Twitter users alerted their communities about an explosion at Grand Central Terminal. Grand Central Terminal was allegedly evacuated and shut down by SWAT teams. Subway lines, specifically, the 4,5, and 6 were completely bypassing those specific stops or shut down as well. I work in Manhattan and in relatively close proximity to the station. I have co-workers commuting daily through that station, and many others that use the 4,5,6 line to go home. This is what happened after digesting the "warning":
TJ: "Christina – you seeing this?"
Me: "About Grand Central Station? I know. WTH? This can't be real."
TJ: "I don't know. Everyone's tweeting about it. Even Keith and he can't lie."
(Note: Caroline McCarthy of CNET also tweeted it)
Me: "Ha, then it has to be true! But seriously, I can't find it anywhere except for Twitter. Should we tell the staff?"
What do you think I did? Yup. I told the staff. I sent an e-mail with the subject line: "GC Station possibly shut down with reported explosion. Will keep you posted." My reason for sending it out? I had a flashback of 9/11. (I know, very dramatic). But honestly, my cousin was working in the city at the time. She heard the news about the first crash through Howard Stern and wasn't sure if he was kidding or not. (Who the heck would kid about that?) Obviously he wasn't. I figured I should let everyone know just in case.
5 minutes later I learned that this was false. ::Head meets desk:: I was forced to send an e-mail to the staff, again: "Just kidding – it was a hoax. Twitter lied." What bothered me most was having to field the question from my managers: Where are you getting this news from? My managers are already Twitter skeptics and I gave them more of a reason to see no use to it at all. Let's just say that for the rest of the day I was the butt of most jokes. Cest la vie.
However it got me thinking. How much can we actually trust this open forum? How can we trust Twitter? For me – I made a fool of myself. I take pride in the fact that I can admit that to the PRBC community. I laughed it off and now relentlessly research any "warning" tweets even if they're from Keith ;). Yet it got me thinking, what if we had Twitter during 9/11? Or what about a smaller scale crisis like a night club shooting? Imagine being the rep of the hottest night club in NYC and one person tweets about a shooting/murder at your club. What can you do? How can you control that situation? More so, how can we control the messages that are on Twitter?

It's no shocker that I'm a total Blue Sky Black Death stan. I've been enjoying the solo work of the two producers (which you can find here and here), but I always find myself going back through their past content. The other week, I spent some time reflecting on NOIR, and now I'd like to do the same for Slow Burning Lights. Easily my favorite collaborative project of BSBD, they linked up with vocalist Yes Alexander for an ambient and ethereal album, one shrouded in poetic daydreams and dark, atmospheric layers. It's a dense symphony between the three artists, one that still sounds brand new. On November 11, 2018, Slow Burning Lights will be ten years old. Maybe they'll release the instrumentals or something. Fingers crossed.
The ten song doozy arrived half a year after Blue Sky Black Death's stunning studio album, Late Night Cinema. With those two, as well as The Evil Jeanius thrown in between (label troubles aside), it was a prolific and acclaimed year for Blue Sky Black Death.

Synopsis:17 year-old Kelly Winslow doesn't believe in Faeries. Not unless they're the kind that you find in a theatre, spouting Shakespeare—the kind that Kelley so desperately wishes she could be: onstage, under lights, with a pair of sparkly wings strapped to her shoulders. But as the understudy in a two-bit, hopelessly off-off-Broadway production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, wishing is probably the closest she's going to get to becoming a Faerie Queen. At least, that's what she thinks... In this fun, urban fantasy, Kelly's off-stage life suddenly becomes as complicated as one of Shakespeare's plot twists when a nighttime trip to Central Park holds more than meets the mortal eye.
** I stumbled upon this book through an ad on Goodreads where I could read it free online for a limited amount of time. I enjoyed this story from the very beginning because it's a very cool twist of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. With all of the faerie books out there aimed at the YA market this is one that truly captured my imagination. I like the main character Kelly...she came through as a real teen just looking to make it on her own in the Big Apple. Of course, there is always that...more Review: I stumbled upon this book through an ad on Goodreads where I could read it free online for a limited amount of time. I enjoyed this story from the very beginning because it's a very cool twist of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. With all of the faerie books out there aimed at the YA market this is one that truly captured my imagination. I like the main character Kelly...she came through as a real teen just looking to make it on her own in the Big Apple. Of course, there is always that handsome boy who steals your heart....I'm secretly in love with Sonny!!!! Very original story plot and great fun...I can't wait to get my hands on book #2 Darklight!
Synopsis:"Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was Faerie royalty, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved New York City from a rampaging Faerie war band. When a terrifying encounter in Central Park sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful—but cut short. For they've been plunged into a game of Faerie deception and wavering allegiances in which the next move could topple a kingdom...or part them forever.
Review: Much has changed for Sonny and Kelley. They've been apart from each other for almost six months. Kelley can't stop thinking about Sonny and all she wants to do is let her power loose so that they can be together again. Unwittingly, she lets her guard down while walking through Central Park. There she is attacked by a mugger. In order to get away she summons help from one of the Janus crew and somehow cuts a portal into the Otherworld. She and Sonny meet back up and that is when they start to notice that an ancient magick is stirring and someone has plans for both Kelley and Sonny. The Winter King is sick and the faerie world is being threatened. Sonny is not who he thinks he is...nor does he have any clue. But Kelley does and she is forced to make a decision that will change both of their lives forever. Livingston has created another magical book with Darklight and I devoured this in one sitting. At times Otherworld is a bit difficult to understand...a lot of different characters with magical qualities and I'm never quite sure who is good and who is wicked!! But I guess that only adds to the fun with this series. I eagerly anticipate the next book in this series!!


Wetlands have been defined in different ways by numerous entities and agencies, however, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly define wetlands as: "Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that do under normal circumstances support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." This definition of wetlands is perhaps the most relevant to local land planners because the Corps and the EPA are the agencies that have legal jurisdiction over wetlands, including those wetlands on private property. Wetlands provide numerous benefits to society but a few of the most important of these include wildlife habitat area, hydrologic recharge areas, and water quality improvements. Other values like recreation (e.g. hunting, fishing, or bird watching) are a combination of processes.
SGID10.WATER.Wetlands= NWI wetlands published by the Utah AGRC.
According to the Utah Wetland Information Center, 1% of Utah's landscape is wetlands, however, over 75% of the State's wetlands occur along the northern and eastern shorelines of the Great Salt Lake.
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rainforests and coral reefs. They provide habitat for different species including birds and fish. Wetlands also have the ability to improve water quality by acting as filters. In addition, wetlands can lessen the effects of flooding by storing water and releasing it slowly with the potential to help replenish aquifers.
"Wetland" is a generic term used to describe a diverse array of aquatic habitats. To assist in management and inventory purposes the Cowardin hierarchical classification system is most commonly used. This method classifies wetlands into systems, subsystems, and classes. Systems are divided into marine, estuarine, riverine, lacustrine, and palustrine. Marine and estuarine systems consist of open ocean and tidal areas, respectively. Riverine and lacustrine systems include wetlands adjacent to rivers and lakes, respectively. Lastly, palustrine systems include vegetated wetlands like marshes, swamps, bogs, and small ponds. Forested wetlands can occur in the estuarine and palustrine systems only.The Cowardin system is used by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for their National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). The NWI Wetland data can be used to identify wetlands by type within the county.
From a regulatory standpoint, certain bodies of water and associated wetlands are regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Activities which involve excavation or placement of fill in jurisdictional waters or wetlands require a permit issued by the Corps and may be reviewed by EPA. The extent of jurisdiction is determined on a project-by-project basis in consultation with the Corps.
Creation of additional wetlands in appropriate areas.
Additional best management practices for wetlands include educating the public on the importance of wetlands, educate farmers and developers on the property value improvements provided by managed open spaces including wetlands, develop assessment tools to monitor the condition of existing wetlands, and develop land management partnerships that include landowners.
The EPA provides information on wetland protection and restoration. This information includes potential funding sources for eligible applicants.
The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) provides landowners financial and technical assistance to restore, enhance, and protect wetlands through their Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP).
The North American Wetland Conservation Act (NAWCA) provides matching grants to support bird populations and wetland habitat.
The Utah Division of Water Quality Wetland Program offers standard procedures for managing, and evaluating the condition of wetlands in the Great Salt Lake area.
The Utah Wetlands Interpretive Network Sites (UWIN) provide wetlands education and refer visitors to other sites within a 13 sites network. More than half of these sites are located in the Wasatch Front area.
Possibly the most significant economic and social benefit of wetlands is flood control, but wetlands also provide essential functions in filtering water/improving water quality and providing a food source for waterfowl. Furthermore, wetlands recharge aquifers and thereby secure future water supplies.
A report regarding the Economic Significance of the Great Salt Lake to the State of Utah, includes information regarding benefits of wetlands surrounding the lake.
Under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA), 10 Utah projects are funded through $3.7 million from NAWCA and $11 million from partner contributions; this illustrates a successful public-private partnership approach to conserve wetlands.
Mechanisms for wetland protection include acquisition, planning, mitigation, disincentives for conversion of wetlands to other land uses, among other efforts. Human need for development should be an important factor when considering wetland restoration or creation.
Noxious weeds, and pest control are other factors to be considered in wetland management, especially when close to residential areas.
In addition, other resources like agriculture, water rights, and hydrology may cause changes to wetlands and should be considering when managing them. For example, groundwater development can reduce the amount of water that a wetland receives. Changes in stormwater, diversions, or water uses from adjacent farms can also create or destroy wetlands.

KAR looking to care for employees & customers in wake of Harvey
KAR Auction Services has 1,000 employees in the Houston area, some who needed to be rescued after Hurricane Harvey hit the region. (Image by michelmond / Shutterstock.com)
Friday, Sep. 01, 2017, 04:00 PM
By Nick Zulovich
CARMEL, Ind. -
As passionate as Jim Hallett spoke about the ways KAR Auction Services is geared up to handle the wholesale market workload coming because of Hurricane Harvey, the company's chairman and chief executive officer emphasized more than anything during an exclusive conversation with AuSM on Friday how the well-being of nearly 1,000 employees in the impacted region trumped it all.
While KAR wasn't aware of any employees being injured, Hallett shared that some individuals initially ended up in shelters after being rescued by emergency personnel. That stark reality is giving KAR's team some profound perspective as Insurance Auto Auctions braces to process thousands of damaged units and ADESA prepares for the likelihood more units will be coming down the lanes at physical facilities or online.
"I think you start with a good word, horrific. First and foremost, we're talking about lives here. We're talking about people losing their lives in this event. Losing their homes and their entire belongings. When you think about it, it's just really devastating," Hallett said.
"We're truly committed to our employees and truly committed to the community," he said later during the phone conversation. "We want to help these employees and want to help these communities rebuild. We're going to work with local officials to help people get re-established. This is a big comeback here.
"I want to tell you how proud I am of this organization and how proud I am of all of our employees throughout KAR, all of KAR, all of our business entities. It's unbelievable the number of employees we've had say, 'How can I help?' These are employees not anywhere near Houston; employees that are scattered around the country and North America who are stepping up," Hallett went on to say.
"That's such a refreshing feeling and speaks to the culture at KAR," he added.
KAR also is organizing programs so its employees can volunteer as well as donate financially.
"We want to take care of our own but also want to be able to help the community, as well," Hallett said. "It makes me very proud as CEO of this company to know we have a culture that cares, not only cares about ourselves but cares about each other and our community. At the end of the day as tough as this is and difficult as it is, it's going to make our company even stronger."
Stronger plan at IAA
Also participating on the exclusive call was John Kett, who is chief executive officer and president of Insurance Auto Auctions. While IAA and its insurance company clients are still gathering information, Kett acknowledged the damage from Harvey is likely to surpass what the company handled during Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy.
"We're really going to focus on the recovery," Kett said. "At IAA, that's really where we begin to help. We're helping to get those vehicles off the streets and out of people's yards and helping the insurance companies settle claims so they can help their policyholders begin to rebuild their lives. First and foremost, that's what we provide in an event like this."
Kett highlighted how IAA has modified its disaster response, using the experiences gained through Katrina, Sandy and Hurricane Matthew last fall. One component of the enhanced planning Kett explained is how IAA already identified key personnel who will be a part of handling tasks associated with natural disasters like hurricanes. He indicated members of that team headed for Texas even before Harvey finished dumping more than 50 inches of rain in some locations near Houston.
Kett noted that IAA also has improved its database of pre-screened tow truck operators as more than 1,000 units are set to pick up damaged vehicles in the region. He also touched on how IAA is making sure additional employees have temporary housing accommodations and plenty of fuel is available for equipment. It's all part of mobilizing as much as possible for when the real heavy-lifting beings.
"Our approach is getting people there, getting equipment and getting capacity. We have a plan throughout the flood-prone areas to have additional real estate available. The size and scale of this were far beyond our normal planning horizon so we're adding hundreds of acres as we speak," Kett said.
"We've done a much better job of being ready. We worked through our plans during the non-catastrophe part of the year so when the storm does hit we can just put those plans into motion," he continued.
And once IAA coordinates with insurance companies and salvage units are to be sold, the company already has plans in motion for those tasks, too.
"Once it's time to begin to liquidate, another thing we bring to the table is we've got an extensive buyer base both domestically and internationally. We've got buyers in 110 countries. They like this type of inventory," Kett said. "We're already beginning to build marketing campaigns to make them aware so they're ready when we're able to begin selling these vehicles."
Meeting needs of dealers & consignors
Not far off from his emphasis on the well-being of employees, Hallett also described how the entire KAR family of companies is looking to cater to the needs of dealers as well as consignors since Harvey is leaving the wholesale market in a unique position. For example, additional off-lease volume no longer is likely to be troublesome.
"This is a big opportunity for the remarketing customers. I think this is really going to help many these captive finance companies and leasing companies to be able to move some of these what I call young vehicles, 3-year-old, off-lease cars with 40,000 miles on them, and move them into the Houston market and have a great outlet for these vehicles," Hallett said.
"I do believe we were concerned about some price erosion with oversupply of off-lease cars," he continued. "I think there may even be an opportunity for the price to stabilize if not improve a little bit. That's not just in the Texas market. That could affect prices across the country."
While hundreds of KAR employees have been impacted by Harvey, Hallett wanted the entire industry to know KAR is "open for business." The company indicated usual activities at ADESA, IAA and AFC operations in Texas and beyond are on schedule.
"We want our customers to know, both sellers and buyers, that we are absolutely going to do everything we can to support their selling and buying activities in every possible venue we have, including our physical auction footprint, our online nationwide private label business through OPENLANE and TradeRev that allows dealers to buy vehicles as well as AFC that provides the liquidity to buy these cars," Hallett said.
"We're not going to take advantage of the situation," he added. "We're not going to increase prices because of demand. We're going to be very fair and understanding. We're going to do business as usual without putting any extra burden on the buyers and sellers. We're going to assist them in any way we can."

Q: Adding functions as properties including a this value I am having an issue adding a function containing this to an object. It is producing results that I did not expect, and that have left me somewhat confused. I tried rewriting the code using Object.create() and that just threw an error. I must be overlooking something simple I am sure. How do I ensure that qaz.execute is implicitly bound to qaz? Thank you for your help.
// Version 1:
var qaz = {}; // [[Prototype]] will point to Object.prototype.
qaz.execute = function(){ console.log( "qaz: " + this ) };
qaz.execute(); // qaz: [object Object] (Why not qaz or even global/undefined?)

// Version 2:
var qaz = Object.create(null); // [[Prototype]] will be null.
qaz.execute = function(){ console.log( "qaz: " + this ) };
qaz.execute(); // TypeError: can't convert this to primitive type (Why?)

A: It's hard to tell exactly what you're trying to accomplish. I'd recommend taking a look at this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/this#this_on_the_object's_prototype_chain
It should give you a better grasp on this
Near as I can tell, if you want to log what exactly qaz is, try this instead
var qaz = {};
qaz.execute = function(){ return this };
console.log("qaz: " + qaz.execute());

it will not, however, print "qaz", but it will, i think, print all of qaz's properties.
If you want to learn more about outputting stuff to the console, read here
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console#Outputting_text_to_the_console

A: // Version 2:
var qaz = Object.create(null); // [[Prototype]] will be null.
qaz.execute = function(){ console.log( "qaz: " + this ) };
qaz.execute(); // TypeError: can't convert this to primitive type (Why?)

Because quz does not inherit toString from Object.prototype. You could do the following:
var qaz = Object.create(null); // [[Prototype]] will be null.
qaz.execute = function(){ console.log( "qaz: " +
Object.prototype.toString(this) ); };
qaz.execute();

Or as stated in my and elclanrs comment; not convert the object to string at all and log object as is (probably doesn't work in IE):
var qaz = Object.create(null); // [[Prototype]] will be null.
qaz.execute = function(){ console.log( "qaz: ", this); };
qaz.execute();

An introduction to the different types of video content.
Videos can come in many forms, shapes and sizes. Go behind the scenes and learn the elements that separate one type of video from another.
The right kind of video for you.
Video content is a lot like food: There is a ton of variety of what you can make and each style follows a particular recipe to make it distinct — with your unique touch added, of course. It can be hard to know where to start. Whether you want to become an influencer who hosts the latest unboxing videos or you need to create company culture videos for your new startup, you can learn how to whip up a project that matches your flavour with this guide to the different types of video that both budding and experienced videographers can make.
The business of video marketing.
Online videos have become the centrepiece of a brand's content marketing strategy. They are no longer afterthoughts or product videos buried deep on a YouTube account, they are crucial pieces of multimedia marketing campaigns that attract potential customers and gain brand awareness. Discover how to reach your target audience with this breakdown of marketing video types.
Marketing videos: A broad form of video production, this encompasses any video clip designed to grab the attention of potential customers with a clear call to action, whether it's to purchase products or services, visit a landing page or something else. Customer testimonials, new product announcements and product tutorials are a few examples of how varied the content can be.
Promotional videos: Promotional video content is made to advertise and generate excitement for a specific good, service or product. It's created solely to showcase the value and importance of what you wish to present for your target audience and increase conversion. This type of video can be resized for different aspect ratios to be easily shared on various platforms.
Explainer videos: This video content type is an educational tool used to inform customers or interested parties on how to do something for marketing purposes. It's a tutorial video for your brand, in other words. These go a long way to establish credibility and trust and they provide helpful information to consumers in a dynamic way.
Training videos: Similar to explainer videos, these online videos teach viewers how to perform a task, role or function through the use of dramatisations, voiceovers and overlay text. They supplement the training programme set forth by your organisation and help new and established employees alike get up to speed with business practices and rules.
Become a social butterfly.
Social media is the perfect platform to build brand awareness, not only professionally but also personally. Gain a following with these types of social video content.
Short videos: Capture viewers' attention — no matter how short it is — with high-quality short-form personalised video clips. Learn how to make precise, compelling work that's educational, aspirational or entertaining (or, if done right, all three at once).
TikTok videos: Make fast-paced, super-short (20 to 45 seconds) videos that hook your audience immediately and leave them wanting more. Contribute to the latest trends, add hashtags and sounds and display your one-of-a-kind personality with the latest craze in social media.
Meme videos: Share your sense of humour with this specific video type that takes your favourite meme clips and adds a dash of you. Learn how to avoid FOMO and get your take on a meme out into the digital wild ASAP with this tutorial.
YouTube videos: Want to break through to an audience on the most visited website in the world? Discover what it takes to make a video or livestream stand out on YouTube with these tips and tricks.
Vlogging: Also known as a video blog (vlog for short), this type of content is dependant on a personal connection between the host and the audience. Think of vlogs as personalised video diaries about anything — product reviews, comedy, educational videos and more. Explore how to find your voice with our expert advice.
DIY videos: This genre takes the phrase "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself" to a whole new level. Go behind the scenes to find out what it takes to share your DIY accomplishments with the world.
Educational videos: Want to take your remote learning act on the virtual road? See what's on the supply list to make a high-quality, informational and easy-to-understand video about any subject.
Capture event videos.
Make slice-of-life moments unforgettable with these types of videos.
Baby videos: Bring the emotion and love between a family and their newest member to life with this videographic style. Document baby's first everything — from crawl to walk and everything in between — for fond memories that will be forever cherished.
Birthday videos: Celebrate another year on this rock with this kind of video. Send a personalised video to a loved one — slideshow, music video, whatever you like. Just remember, it's the thought that counts.
Travel videos: Show off the Seven Wonders of the World — or your last trip to the happiest place on Earth — with videos that will make viewers want to pack their bags.
Wedding videos: Commemorate the happiest day in a couple's relationship with this style of video production. Put on your creative director's cap for a day of fun, fast-paced shooting, whether it's a spontaneous elopement at Niagara Falls or a storybook wedding in Southern California.
Stay in effect.
If your creative juices are overflowing, challenge yourself with these types of video content that primarily use special effects to tell interesting visual stories.
Slow-motion video: Turn time from a free-flowing river to a crawling creek with this genre of video. Learn about high frame rate, shutter and playback speeds and the equipment required to "slow down time."
Time-lapse video: Speed up time like the Flash with this video technique. Learn how to change the frame rate to get accelerated videos that can show hours of footage in a few short seconds.
Loop videos: If you don't mind repeating yourself, these kinds of videos are right up your alley. Similar to a GIF, loop videos let you loop video footage as many times as you need. You can even customise your loop to play forward or backward.
Video collage: This editing technique allows you to stitch multiple video clips together at once. Reorder your clips, add overlay text and graphics and even incorporate a customised watermark, all from the same workstream.
Lyric videos: Give life to the words of your favourite song. Turn the lyrics of songs into art with a dynamic font, kinetic typography and a dazzling background image (or footage from Adobe Stock). Turn to Adobe After Effects for even more options to animate your video.
Push the envelope with Adobe Premiere Pro.
Polish your footage virtually anywhere. Adjust the sound and colour, add animation, graphics and effects, then share with others quickly and easily using the industry standard in video editing. Explore how to do all that and more with these Premiere Pro tutorials — perfect to get you started.

Celtic join Leeds United in pursuit of Ghanaian defender Stephan Ambrosius
Scottish giants Celtic have joined Leeds United in the race to sign Ghanaian defender Stephan Kofi Ambrosius in January, GHANAsoccernet.com can report.
According to German outlet Bild, the Hoops are tracking the 21-year-old and are considering possible move for him in the New Year.
Leeds have been keeping tabs on the highly-rated defender for a longer time and are also thought to be weighing up a potential swoop this winter.
Ambrosius has been very consistent for Hamburg SV this season having made 7 appearances already this campaign.
The promising central defender is a product of the Hamburg's youth academy and having made his debut last season, is now considered a first-team regular.
Ambrosius, who has also played in a defensive midfield role, made his first appearance for Germany's U21 side this month.
Despite playing for Germany at the youth level, Ambrosius remains eligible to represent Ghana in the near future.

Iranian Plane Crashes In U.A.E.
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; 10 February 2004 (RFE/RL) -- Officials in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) say at least 40 people were killed today when an Iranian passenger plane crashed near an airport.
UAE officials said 45 people were on board the Kish Airlines flight when it crashed shortly after taking off from the international airport at Sharjah. Reports said there were some survivors.
Local television showed flaming wreckage and rescue helicopters landing near the scene.
An official with the semi-private Kish Airlines said the aircraft was a Dutch-made Fokker-50, a twin-engine turboprop plane that can carry up to 50 passengers and six crew members. Kish runs routes to and from Iran's Kish Island in the Gulf.


BASF and Linde collaborate to serve natural gas processing applications using BASF's adsorbent technology and Linde's adsorption & membrane technology.
Customers benefit from simplified technical and procurement processes as well as increased reliability and performance of the membrane process.
BASF and The Linde Group's Engineering Division have agreed on a collaboration to serve natural gas processing applications using BASF's adsorbent technology and Linde's adsorption & membrane technology. This collaboration brings together two leading companies in the fields of adsorbents, adsorption and membrane technology. With the combined capabilities of materials expertise from BASF and engineering expertise from Linde, the two companies are well positioned to expand their global leadership position in natural gas applications.
BASF's innovative Durasorb™ adsorbents will be used to improve Linde's high-performance membrane processes, which provide stability and selectivity advantages over competitive membrane processes. Membrane technology that can process gas high in CO2 is becoming increasingly important in the natural gas industry. The ability to treat gas high in both heavy hydrocarbons and CO2 will allow BASF and Linde to serve a part of the industry that now must rely on high cost alternatives.
Customers will benefit from a one-stop solution. BASF and Linde will perform the required design work to ensure that the adsorbent is well suited to the membrane. Linde will supply both units to the customer required to process natural gas: the membrane unit and the pretreatment unit located upstream, applying Durasorb™. This arrangement will simplify the technical and the procurement processes for the customer as well as increase the reliability and performance of the membrane process.
BASF, the world's leading supplier of environmental and process catalysts, and Linde, a world-leading gases and engineering company with its outstanding adsorption and membrane plant technology, join forces and competencies. The collaboration is a strong signal to the natural gas industry and will open access to previously inaccessible gas compositions for treatment. "The partnership leverages the strengths of both companies and expands the market reach of Durasorb™, allowing BASF to serve together with Linde an even greater portion of the fast-growing natural gas industry," says Detlef Ruff, Senior Vice President Process Catalysts at BASF. "We are enthusiastic to cooperate with BASF in this strategically important market. A proper and sophisticated pretreatment of natural gas is key to deploy the full potential of high-performance membranes," says Tobias Keller, Executive Vice President of Linde Engineering's Product Line Adsorption and Membrane Plants.
