Roxy's Roost is a cosy luxury holiday cottage which offers a special mix of rustic and modern. The white painted furniture and under-lit double ended bath is a far cry from the building it has been converted from. The holiday cottage has its own private walled garden with a raised wooden patio area which provides the perfect spot to relax and unwind. You can also admire the gorgeous views across the fields to the Yorkshire Wolds beyond. After a day exploring the beauty of Yorkshire, you can treat yourself to a tasty supper in the delightful walkable pub, or get competitive with the family in the games room.

Pear Tree FarmFangfossYorkYorkshireYO41 5QH
Gerald and Ros operate the cottages alongside the working farm and also an animal grooming supply business, Showtime, which was established in 1992 and runs from the farm office and a converted cattle shed.
We moved to Pear Tree Farm in 1957 when my father took over the farm and formed the Bricknell herd of pedigree dairy cattle. In 2004 we made the decision to sell the herd and converted our redundant farm buildings into 4 and 5 star cottages with work being completed in 2009.
The old barn and stable are over 300 years old, took a lot of thought and creation to make them into 5 star properties with immense character. They were hard work to renovate but we had a great time and used skills we didn't know we had. We have had so many compliments that it has made it all worthwhile.

Wordlinx removed Payza as payment option
Due to Payza's limitation of privileges on UK accounts, Wordlinx announced the temporary removal of the service for the time being. Other payments getaways are looked for in order to cover the gap. Paypal is the only option now.
WordLinx is no longer able to use Payza as a payment or cashout processor, following their sudden and unexpected suspension of transfers into all UK-based Payza accounts. This not only affects us, but all UK-based Payza users.
We're very disappointed with this decision and won't continue to use such an unreliable service. As such, we'll be removing Payza from all our sites over the next few weeks. Luckily we have enough in our account to process all outstanding Payza cashouts, but unfortunately we will not be able to process any further outgoing payments via this processor.
This also affects our new site Referral Banners, which also won't be able to send or accept payments via Payza. More info here – http://refban.com
We realise not all members are able to get paid via PayPal, so we are already looking into alternatives for people that joined our sites to get paid via Payza. If you have any suggestions, please let us know via our main forum – http://forum.wordlinx.com
Below is the email we received from Payza…
— ———————————————————
We regret to inform you that as of Thursday, October 18, 2012, Payza will suspend money transfers into all UK-based Payza accounts. This is necessary in order to implement a number of changes to our system.
Your money is still available; however, you will not be able to:
– Add funds to your Payza e-wallet
– Receive funds or accept payments to your Payza e-wallet
– Request funds or send an invoice
– Send funds, make payments or issue corporate disbursements to other UK-based Payza accounts
The moment that any and all services will be restored, we will inform you immediately via email and in a notification within your Payza account. Please be sure to check your Payza account and your email on a regular basis for the latest updates to our services.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this interruption of service will cause you. We would like to emphasize that it is our intention, as a consequence of the changes we are putting in place at Payza, to be able provide the UK market with a robust online payment platform enhanced by a wider range of services.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Payza Team
Thanks for reading. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

"Good Beijing Transportation Information Saves Time and Money"
This page is a list of Transportation options in Beijing.
You can get to know the Beijing Subway, the Beijing Train Station, and which Bus, Boat or Helicopter you'll need to get around Beijing.
We'll start with the best way to get from the Beijing International Airport to your hotel.
If you are arriving in the early morning or even mid-day, finding what you'll need for the coming night will be pretty easy. If you are arriving as the sun goes down then everything changes.
You have to approach your first night in a different way.
Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai become completely different cities once night falls.
They know that you have no options if arriving at night without a previous Beijing hotel booking. Your cost will be ten-fold and you will be happy just to have a bed to sleep in after the long flight to Beijing
I always have my first night sorted before I arrive in Beijing. I wouldn't say that about many cities because I love the 'Not Knowing'.
Have a look at the Beijing Transportation options for getting from the Beijing International Airport to whatever your destination.
There is massive choice when it comes to Beijing transportation.
This is the most comfortable, hassle-free way to get from the Beijing International Airport to your hotel in Beijing.
If you were planning on taking a taxi then consider this instead. It is the budget first-class way to go to and from the airport in style, yet on par with taxi fares.
These are the guys that will greet you at the airport no matter how early or late you flight gets in. They will hold out a sign for you and then whisk you away from the airport.
They take you right to the doorstep of your hotel and save you the hassle of finding a ride, bargaining a price and hoping your luggage fits in their trunk.
The service can be booked online in advance. All you need do is give them your flight number and they'll be there to pick you up.
Learn more about the Beijing Airport (PEK) to Hotel Roundtrip Transfer
This is an Airport Express Rail link that's an add-on to the Beijing Subway system.
It runs from both terminal 1 and 2 to Xizhimen subway station in the Dongzhimen area of the Beijing City center.
Tickets cost ¥25RMB ($3USD) and the trip takes about 16 minutes.
Learn more about the Beijing Light Rail Airport Line.
Tickets for the airport shuttle bus cost ¥15RMB ($2.5USD)
You can't miss where the Beijing Airport Shuttle bus arrives and leaves from. Just head through the outside doors directly from the Arrivals area of the airport and you'll run into a bus sign that says: "Airport Shuttle Bus".
The Airport-City Shuttle Bus takes five different routes into the city. They are Xidan, Gongzhufen, Fangzhuang, Beijing Railway Station and Zhongguancun.
The most popular route is to Xidan, which is in Central Beijing and just a short walk from the Forbidden City. Have a look at the best budget room prices in Xidan or other areas of Beijing.
There is also an Airport Shuttle bus that heads into Tianjin and drops you at the intersection of Nanjing Lu and Shanxi Lu.
The bus leaves every 30 minutes from outside Gate 15 in the arrival level of Terminal 2.
Tickets will cost you ¥70RMB and the bus leaves the airport every 30 minutes every day from 7am-11pm.
These guys are the used car salesmen of the Beijing transportation system. You'll find touts trying to get you into their taxis with full intent to rip you off.
If you need a taxi then walk on past the touts and head straight out of the arrivals terminal. Just outside are 2 official taxi lines with drivers who do not expect to be tipped.
The government has really been cracking down on the properly registered taxi companies.
It is about a 45 minutes - 1 hour drive into the city center and will cost you between $30USD and $1,000USD. It depends on how little you know about where you are going.
They will drive around the entire city if you let them get away with it.
Just the threat of you complaining will motivate them. See Complaint Phone Numbers below for each of the major taxi companies in Beijing.
Make sure to have the destination address either written in Chinese or marked clearly on a map.
Few of the drivers speak any English, even when they are fluent. They will never tell you.

Next up, I'll have to make a retraction. After some deliberation, ACEN will be allowing the recording and distributing of events by the press if you sign a waver stating that there will be no profit made on the recording. Never having seen this myself, I do not believe that will be a problem for anyone.
Finally, what you have come here for, an article on my farewell to Oh! My Goddess! and my condemnation of it. ...yeah, I didn't think you'd believe that either. Seriously though, I am getting rather tired of the stasis lock we're in concerning that series, but I'd say read on if you want the full story.

Fax: 425-271-1006
Welcome To Greg's. The Best Japanese Auto Repair Shop In Renton
This is where it all began. On April 1st, 1987, Greg's Japanese Auto opened their first store in Renton, WA. The store opened with a mere 1,200 sq. ft. The original staff included founder Greg Huntley, brother David, and their first technician Leonard Gidley.
As the word got out about Greg's superior service, more and more people started coming through the door. Clearly, Greg's needed more room. As space became available we added to the original square footage. In 1996, Greg's outgrew their space again and moved to a larger space right across the parking lot to their present location. The store has 12 lifts and 12 service bays with plenty of parking.
Facility Features

Are you feeling any irritations around your teeth or signs of tooth sensitivity? Although there are a variety of causes, it could be linked to a toothache. Toothaches are typically formed when the pulp inside a tooth's root becomes damaged, either from physical injury or bacterial infection.
Knowing the signs of a toothache can be beneficial if you are wondering what treatment is needed. If you have pain in your mouth that continues a full day after pain relievers are felt, you may have a toothache caused by nerve pain. Also look for signs of fever, rash, chills, excessive swelling, and discharge around a tooth. All can be signs that a toothache is to blame.
The reason toothaches hurt is because the pulp contains the nerve endings of a tooth. If the nerves are damaged, pain and discomfort should be expected. However, a toothache does not guarantee that the tooth must be extracted. Instead, speak with your dentist to schedule an appointment so they can determine which course of treatment will work best for you.
Don't delay in visiting our team at Professional Dental & Implant Center to check if you are suffering from a toothache. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Yakov Royzman & Karina Zaygermakher and our team at our dentist office in New York, New York, please call us at (212) 579-0552. The smile of your dreams is only a visit away!

Just a few random things to share.
Sometimes I get interested in something and find it took a
little effort to understand what I needed / wanted to know.
If I was interested in finding something or exploring the
thought, chances are I am not alone. If it took me
effort to get it figured out, it would most likely require
effort for someone else. Sometimes I write a paper on
these so I can share it with people. Sometimes the
papers are written because I know I will forget if I don't
write it down. Some of these papers are listed here.
They are not related, just a few of the papers I think
people might find useful.
Understanding how the Fractional Reserve Banking System worked
at the base level interested me after watching
Zeitgeist the
movie and addendum. After looking up some information on
it I found the concept was fairly simple yet deceiving at the
same time. Some of the inherent negative aspects of the
system are not understood by most people.
A light meter can say a new light is brighter than the old one.
Your eyes may tell you something very different. Imagine
trying to get a brighter light for your work area to meet local
codes. Imagine getting that new light installed and having
the light meter tell you it is brighter and now meets local
codes for a good work space. Now imagine your eyes tell
you the new light is dimmer and you hate working in there since
your eyes have to stain. This is not as uncommon as you
might think. There is a real explanation for it.
The BluuBull stove is a stove design I came up with for
backpacking. I used it for a few years and liked it.
There were no moving parts or seals to go bad. It burned
denatured alcohol and burned quite clean. It was light
weight, compact ad never failed. However when the Jet Boil
Stove came on the scene I ended up putting the BluuBull Stove on
the shelf. :( These archived pages show what it is,
how to use it and a few other details. The pages also
describe in great detail how to make your own if you so choose.
If you are looking to purchase a water filter / purifier for
backpacking or other outdoor activities, you might find this an
interesting read. This paper may help you understand a bit
more about the water filter process and what is being filtered
out of the water. There are more details here than on the
average manufacture's web sites. Take a look gain some
insight about virus' bacteria, heavy metal, pesticides ect in

What is causing my z/OS Connect EE server use a large amount of CPU time and perform millions of EXCPs even though the server is essentially idle? I am running z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3 CD.
Answer by BillBulfin (11793) | Feb 11, 2019 at 11:41 AM
There are several monitors within a z/OS Connect EE server that poll resources periodically looking for updates or new resources. The CICS Service Provider using IPIC connections, also periodically heartbeats the CICS region connections. Both of those can drive up CPU and EXCP counts.
If the high CPU and EXCPs only occur when the CICS Service Provider is initializing, that could be due to security SSL handshake activity on all the configured connections. You can check your server.xml (as well as any include xml files) for polling activity and pollingRate for the following configuration elements. If any of the updateTrigger attributes defaults or specified "polled" is causing too much CPU or EXCPs, consult the IBM documentation Configuration elements for those elements to determine other values that would reduce the polling rate or disable the polling altogether and consider alternatively manually refreshing the configuration on-demand using the command
/MODIFY <jobname>.<identifier>,ZCON,REFRESH.
Here are the default update methods and for z/OS Connect EE configuration elements:
config element defaults to: monitorInterval="500ms" updateTrigger="polled"
applicationMonitor element defaults to: pollingRate="500ms" updateTrigger="polled"
keyStore element defaults to: updateTrigger="mbean" (applicable for some security configurations)
zosconnect_zosConnectAPIs element defaults to: pollingRate="5s" updateTrigger="disabled"
zosconnect_services element defaults to: pollingRate="5s" updateTrigger="disabled"
zosconnect_apiRequesters element defaults to: pollingRate="5s" updateTrigger="disabled"
zosconnect_policy element defaults to: pollingRate="1m" updateTrigger="disabled"
zosconnect_zosConnectDataXform element defaults to: pollingRate="2s" updateTrigger="polled"
By default, the only ones that are not updateTrigger="disabled" are for 'config', 'applicationMonitor' (which should not be used), and 'zosconnect_zosConnectDataXform'.
If you update your server.xml to disable all updateTrigger attributes in all the configuration elements you use, except for the config element where updateTrigger="mbean", then with the zosConnectCommands feature...
...you should be able use the command...
MODIFY <jobname>.<identifier>,zcon,refresh
This should allow you to dynamically update the server artifacts.

See The MODIFY command and REFRESH MODIFY command syntax in the z/OS Connect EE V3 IBM documentation for a description and the syntax of the MODIFY command.
If using the CICS service provider, it has a default heartbeatinterval of 30s (second precision). However, you should review the heartbeatinterval setting to ensure it is not too low or that the time unit qualifier has not been omitted. For example, if you specify "heartbeatinterval=15" (no second or millisecond time unit qualifier) the default time unit is in milliseconds and will result in high CPU and EXCP counts in an idle server if CICS IPIC connections have been established.
This heartbeatinterval is described in topic Configuration elements of the z/OS Connect EE documentation.
If updating the heartbeatinterval does not change the observed high-CPU, you might also want to try modifying the heartbeatInterval attribute to a value of 0 to disable the heartbeats and monitor the CPU using SDSF DISPLAY ACTIVE.
If after setting heartbeatInterval=0 in the zosconnect_cicsIpicConnection config element in the server.xml, you still see high CPU in the idle z/OS Connect EE server and all file monitors have been disabled, update your server.xml to add tracing for:
<logging traceSpecification="zosConnectFileMonitor=all"/>
After you restart the z/OS Connect EE server with the --clean option, when you observe high CPU and high EXCP activity, enter command:
/MODIFY <server>,DUMP
to produce a compressed .zip dump and contact IBM Support for assistance.

The reply isn't a simple one. Of course, there are circumstantial reasons, like residing in an space where there's an excessive amount of competitors for jobs and Walmart is the one place hiring, having no mentors, and not having access to a good schooling. Of course, institutional racism and sexism exist, and as they are saying, it does take money to earn money. The sundresses are my favorite. They give the impression of being nice.

Turtle Races
Turtle Races would be really bad idea if the racing was done with wild turtles caught for the purpose. It exposes them to each others diseases, can causes stress and injuries. So we DO NOT do it that way! Our Turtle Races are possible because we have many long term captive box turtles that have lived together for years, so they have no interest in harming each other and they have no diseases, but they still run like rabbits, (well maybe not rabbits, but fast for a turtle) when you let them loose!
Here are some possible members of your Turtle Races stable.
These turtles have come to us over many years. Some were pets, some were nature center or zoo rejects because they didn't fit into their populations. All of them are very healthy and happy now. no sick turtle would ever be allowed to race. They are even rotated so none of them have to work too much!
The race is run by laying down a mat on the floor or the grass and having the turtles in the center. The kids are put into teams, they choose "jockies" to mount the turtles and then the race is on! The winners of each race are given prizes but we are careful to insure that no one walks away empty handed.
This is just one attraction of our Reptile Party Hosting package, (I can't divulge to much because everyone wants to be like us!) There is no extra charge for Turtle Races as part of the Hosting package.
The Turtle Race Game is also available to add on to any of our reptile birthdays.
$50 for 20 minutes or about 5 races
Stand alone Turtle Races without a show booking are $300/1st hr–$150/each hr after

Christianity, ice, Jesus, Little Faith (Faith of a Child), Minnesota, Peter, walk on water, Water
As a child, growing up in South Florida, I often tried to walk on water. I thought that if I could get a good running start, I could skip right along the top of the water, across to the other side of my swimming pool. Every time that I attempted this, gravity would win and I'd end up soaked, swimming around in the deep end. As a result of all this evidence, I soon accepted the reasonable conclusion that walking on water was impossible. Although, I now had the expectation of falling in, time and time again, over the years, I would still give it a try – just for fun.
One Sunday afternoon, this past December, I was able to experience what it might be like to walk on water. You see, this winter has been unusually mild for West Central Minnesota. In fact, until a few days ago, there was barely any snow. Normally when lakes freeze, they are quickly covered with snow which obscures the surface. This winter, the lakes froze before we received any snow, providing us with open fields of sleek, shiny glass. A group of friends and I went ice walking all over Crane Lake to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity to see through the clear, smooth surface into the mysterious world beneath. Like children, we had an amazing time exploring together, playing together, and simply soaking in the wonder of it all.
I'm curious about Peter's experience walking on water. I wonder what it was like for him to step out of the boat and walk toward Jesus (Matt 14:29-31). Was it something that he had tried to do as a child? Was it a dream come true? When Jesus tells him to come, Peter doesn't seem to have any hesitation. Like a child, he just gets right out of the boat and begins walking. It's almost as if for a moment, he forgets that you're not supposed to be able to do that. Then when he sees the wind, he remembers, becomes afraid and begins to sink, calling on Jesus to save him. Jesus reaches out, grabs him, and says, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Whenever I have heard this story taught, the part where Jesus says, "You of little faith, why did you doubt" has often been represented as a stern rebuke – as if Jesus is upset with Peter for his lack of faith. Now, I'm not a theologian so I'm taking some liberties here, but I really don't think that's what Jesus meant. I don't think He was shaming Peter for sinking. I think the question, "You of little faith, why did you doubt," was simply that – a question. The purpose may have been to provoke Peter to think. . . "You were doing great, Peter. What happened?"
As one of Jesus' disciples, Peter had been empowered with authority to move miraculously – to heal every illness, and cast out demons (Matt 10:1). In fact, earlier that very day, Peter had participated in a miracle of multiplication in feeding 5,000. When the disciples urged Jesus to send the crowd away, He said, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." The disciples brought Him five loaves of bread and two fish which Jesus blessed, broke, and handed back to His disciples for them to pass out to the people. As the disciples obeyed and gave the people something to eat, the miracle happened in their hands. Not only were 5,000 men (plus women and children) fed, but 12 baskets remained filled with left-overs (Matt 14:15-21).
Perhaps, Jesus' question was meant to remind Peter that he was a child of God. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it" (Luke 18:17). A child has no understanding of the impossible. In their minds, anything can happen, and everything is possible. There are absolutely no limits. Over time, this viewpoint changes as a child begins to grow up and learn the concepts of "no" and "can't." As a result, their great, big world becomes a little bit smaller.
With God, there is no such thing as the impossible. It's the same for the children of God. As God's children, we are empowered to do the very same things that Jesus did – and even greater things! John 14:12, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father." It's time for us to become like little children again and believe that all things are possible. It's time to start living by faith in the Spirit, trusting Him to guide us and to support every step (Gal 5:25). We can walk on water together – but that's nothing compared to the wonders that God has prepared for us to do! (Eph 2:10)

I thought a great idea I'm gonna DENTAL INSURANCE NC do it I'm gonna give it my all I'm not gonna you know put something out that something's good as it could be I put my hundred-person of my effort every time I do it in business and I think you'll see that with dental HQ with my dental offices.
I can't stand to have something substandard so I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna build it if I'm gonna put the time ago that's gonna be done right so you loved your GPR that is so great care of all your friends that you hear about what percent of DPR experiences are like errors.
Where they were great versus they weren't great DENTAL INSURANCE NC and they were in some some situation where they didn't like they learn that much I haven't known my close friends did for once so you know I think it's I think it's very important to do your research
But I think there's a lot of uneasy that are so much more than a fifth year dental school that's like a five year it's like really like five years in practice you know terms of you know yes you can do it's one of see me and I think that's what you should do if you don't do a really great advanced state to your GP or but um you know doing a really good one.
It just gave me that confidence on me when I got out so really start walking enroll on it I didn't worry about my clinical side at all it's just about focusing on okay where's my practice gonna be game I gotta buy an existing one and I got a partner with somebody am I gonna open my enemy what am I gonna do and I didn't have to worry about where my clinical skills were.
You know doubt was good I had done a ton of injury in that year and learned I had done a lot more advanced up and I would ever be with private practice you know so it gives you that comfort level so for me that was one of the best decisions I ever made as far as my education was doing that extra year but I absolutely know enough further than different forms of some other stories about doing programs view more : https://www.dentalhelps.com/dental-insurance-nc/

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Animal Mastery Signs for literally every critter?
Why? Because several animals in this screenshot alone are of the same species. There are six different varieties of horses in this very image, which would lead one to believe that the developer intends for Mastery to become an inherent part of animals. Though, this is, of course, speculation--hey, it's all we have right now, so have fun with it.
However, these signs may not be the final versions, as they certainly don't look as polished as the existing signs for crops and trees. Either way, it looks like Zynga found a new way to incentivize its Farm Cash animals. Hold onto your credit cards.

As citizens of the world, we have a moral obligation to at least try to imagine what it's like to be someone else. What is it like to live in Spain? (Not hard to imagine.) In Russia? (A little harder.) In Bhutan? (Very hard.)
And how about the Grande Chartreuse, a monastery in the French Alps where the inhabitants live virtually without words, performing the most utilitarian of tasks between periods of prayer and study?
So you really have to want to spend almost two hours and 45 minutes with Philip Gröning's Into Great Silence. Gröning -- who directed, produced, wrote, edited and photographed the film -- waited 16 years for these monks to welcome him, and when they finally did, he made sure that his film allowed us to experience every micro-second of their solitude.
The order of the Carthusians was founded in the 11th century, and the monastery that Gröning visits was built in 1688. There, the monks read, cut cloth to make vestments, and gather to worship. The only sounds are those of footsteps, creaking doors, a few tools, and their a cappella chants, plus the buzz of a razor to shave the heads of new members. (So yes, they have electricity, although candlelight illuminates their world.)
You can think of Into Great Silence as being meditative, but it's really not: Meditation happens inside your own head, whereas Gröning asks you to pay attention to other people. You can think of it as cultural anthropology, but there are no talking heads to explain and reflect. You have to choose to believe there's a purpose to so much isolation and solipsism. You have to decide where your moral obligation lies.
The monks of Into Great Silence speak only to pray, initiate novices, discuss theology in a sunny field, and swear fidelity to a "joyful penitence." But Gröning's visually handsome film turns their ascetic lives into aesthetic ones, and we learn nothing new about how it feels to live in such devotion. They do talk to the cats -- you knew there had to be cats -- who, more steadfast in their faith, say nothing in return. They do all of this in veneration to God -- or at least, to their God, who apparently thinks they best serve the suffering of humankind by not making things worse. They focus on the isolationist views of Christ rather than, let's say, his social work (as Mother Teresa did).
What do we gain by watching a man read a book if we don't know what he's reading and what he thinks about it? Could the very act of following him with a camera alter his thoughts, and perhaps his actions? Would you pick your nose, or unpack a wedgie, if you knew a stranger was watching? And if you don't have either of those problems, then how human can you be anyway? In silence and French, with subtitles.

Acetylene Chemicals Plant
General Aniline & Film Corporation, Linden, New Jersey
In May 1946, George W. Burpee, president of General Aniline & Film Corporation, announced that work had commenced on a new $1.25 million building at Linden
(Grasselli), NJ that would serve as a semi-works and pilot plant for the manufacture of chemicals from acetylene under conditions of high pressure. This was the first
unit of its kind in the United States. It followed investigations carried out at Linden since 1937. Experimental quantities of vinyl ethers had already been produced and
were made available to chemical manufacturers.
The new two-story building was called No. 204, located on a vacant area at the south of the plant site. Some 640 piles supported the foundations. One of the two wings
was made available to the Process Development Department and the other to the New Products Development Department. The building incorporated a reinforced
explosion-proof stall for high-pressure acetylene experiments. The acetylene was produced from calcium carbide in a nearby building, since natural gas was then
considered too expensive as a source.
Acetylene-derived chemicals represented a major technology breakthrough for General Aniline and became an outstanding commercial success. The basic research
for safely reacting the highly flammable gas with other chemicals at high pressures was done by
J. Walter Reppe
at I. G. Farben from the late 1920s. The research
work was highly dangerous, though eventually highly successful. In England, ICI had undertaken similar work in the 1930s, but did not advance beyond a small-scale
process, in part because of the danger. General Aniline acquired the Reppe acetylene inventions in the last batch of 850 patents received from I. G. Farben in 1940.
The Easton, PA research laboratory developed syntheses for thirty products that showed potential commercial applications.
The starting point for many of these products was the reaction of acetylene under pressure with formaldehyde to form butynediol. This was reduced to butenediol
and then to the saturated butanediol. These alcohols are precursors to esters, carbamates, polyesters and urethanes. The lower alkyl pyrrolidones are excellent as
polymer solvents, paint strippers and industrial cleaners.
During World War II, Linden produced small quantities of two acetylene products for the military, Polectron and Koresin. Polectron was poly(vinyl carbazole). The
Linden product was useful in electronics, for insulation, and where high operating temperatures were employed. It was similar to styrene but had improved heat
resistance; mass polymerization gave almost clear glass-like castings. However, for peacetime use it suffered from high cost, lack of uniformity, poor color and poor
mechanical properties. The carbazole came from coal tar or diphenylene imine. Copolymers of vinyl carbazole and styrene were found to have good molding
properties. Koresin, also first developed in Germany, was a condensation product of acetylene and p-tert-butyl phenol, and was a very effective tackifier for GR-S
synthetic rubber.
The most important product arising out of the acetylene work at Linden was vinyl pyrrolidone, originally discovered by Reppe. This involved dehydrogenation of
butanediol to yield butyrolactone, which was condensed with ammonia to afford 2-pyrrolidone (butyrolactam), followed by vinylation with acetylene, again under
pressure, to afford N-vinyl pyrrolidone. The latter was the monomer for polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a white powder, soluble in both alcohol and water, that served
as a valuable blood plasma extender, made first in Germany during World War II, and during the early 1950s at Linden. At that time its main use was as a blood
substitute. It formed transparent films on glass, plastics and metals, and found application in the formulation of cosmetics, particularly hair sprays. The polymer,
known as Polyclar, was manufactured at Linden until the 1980s, and the copolymer with an aminoalkyl methacrylate, Gafquat 755, until 1991.
The marketing of vinyl derivatives and polymers was taken over in 1952 by Jesse Werner, when he was appointed director of commercial development (a post he held
until 1959, when he was appointed vice president of the corporation). A favorable response from the marketplace resulted in the decision to build a $6 million
acetylene chemicals plant in Calvert City, Kentucky, that came on stream in 1956. Linden chemist Hans Beller, who had earlier cooperated with Easton in acetylene
products research, was project director during the construction phase, and was appointed the first plant manager. Acetylene was supplied via pipeline by a
neighboring company that generated it from calcium carbide
The acetylene chemicals technology was difficult and there were two serious explosions at Calvert City in the early years. However, General Aniline succeeded and
was the only producer in the United States, at least until the Dow-BASF process was introduced in 1958. The Calvert City plant lost money until 1962, when the
business became highly profitable, with gross profit margins in excess of 50 per cent on production costs beyond the breakeven volume. A second acetylene
chemicals unit was built in Texas City, TX in 1968 to fill the demand for the many new applications of the products. Acetylene was supplied via pipeline by a
neighboring company that generated it as a by-product from ethylene manufacture. About 150 people were employed at Texas City. Elsewhere acetylene-based
syntheses had been replaced mainly by those based on ethylene, also used in the production of an important Linden product, ethylene oxide.
The Linden plant closed in the early 1990s. All the buildings, including the acetylene chemicals unit, have been demolished. Environmental remediation of the site
was conducted under the supervision of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
ISP Corporation took over the chemical business of General Aniline in 1991. In 2011, Ashland Inc. purchased ISP and continues to operate the Calvert City and Texas
City acetylene chemicals plants today. Polymers of vinyl pyrrolidone have diverse applications in the pharmaceutical industry as tablet coatings, binders and
disintegrants, as well as solubilizers for direct injection applications and clarifiers for the beer and wine industry. Copolymers of the vinyl pyrrolidone are used in the
personal care industry.

Developed by Opus Studios/Idea Factory and published by Aksys Games here in America this is an action-role playing game set in the fantasy dimension of Jikandia. Nine friends find themselves in this world. There isn't much of a story told in the demo as it focuses on the game play. Unfortunately the game play is dull and boring. You control three characters directly in a 2D side scrolling action-rpg format. Enemies appear on screen and you can engage in combat just by pushing one of the face buttons on the PSP (Triangle, Circle, Square and Cross). Triangle and Square correspond to the the other character's weapons, circle is for jumping and X has the main character use his (or her) weapon in combination with the other party members. Every level has a time limit. Treasure chests have a certain amount of time to be useful and even some enemies will give you special items if you beat them in under the time limit.
There isn't much to the combat besides just mashing buttons. Of course if you enjoy retro styled 2D action rpg platformer dungeon crawling games then try it out, but I don't recommend it.
All in all this demo made me decide not to buy the game. While a demo is just that, a demo, it is a very close representation of the final game. Considering the game came out shortly after the demo hit PSN I'm sure there isn't much (if anything) changed from the demo to the released game. If you had or have any interest in this game, play the demo first.

Google plans 'floating retail store,' builder says
It turns out that the mysterious high-tech barge that Google is building at Treasure Island is just the first of three floating wonders the company plans to launch, at a total cost of $35 million.
In a confidential budget report we obtained, barge builder Turner Construction Co. says the idea is to construct the vessels at Treasure Island, then dock them in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York.
The secretive project is code-named Hangar 3 - an apparent reference to the Treasure Island hangar where much of the construction is being done.
Each barge is to be stacked with 80 shipping containers and flanked by rows of sails.
The Turner Construction report also says each barge is intended to be used as a "floating retail store."
Mirian Saez, Treasure Island Development Authority director of operations, says Google reps told her "this would be an important opportunity for the launching" of their Google Glass computer eyewear next year.
That's a bit different from the "studio" and "temporary technology exhibit space" that barge designers described in reports submitted to the Port of San Francisco as part of their pitch to win berthing permits on the waterfront.
It may also help explain why Google has been so reluctant to discuss the project in detail.
Google needs a permit from the regional Bay Conservation and Development Commission to moor a barge for any length of time in the bay, and the idea of a floating retail store could put the project in very choppy political water.
"A floating retail store that is not a bay-oriented enterprise would probably make a lot of jaws drop at a commission meeting," commission executive Larry Goldzband said when we told him of the newly surfaced Turner Construction document.
Although Google's lawyers have notified him three times in the past six weeks that it is continuing its barge construction at Treasure Island, Goldzband said, the company hasn't been forthcoming about its intentions.
"We have told them we don't want to wait a heck of a lot longer because ... the public needs to know what Google is doing," Goldzband said.
When we asked Google whether it intends to use the barges as floating stores, company representatives replied in an e-mail saying only: "While we have explored many ideas in the past around the barges, our current plan, as we've stated before, is to use them as an interactive space where people can learn about new technology."
As we reported earlier, design documents submitted to the port in August say the goal of the barge project is to "drive visitation to the waterfront." Backers envision mooring the barge at numerous sites around the bay.
The documents say the barge's sails are "reminiscent of fish fins, which will remind visitors that they are on a seaworthy vessel."
According to the newly surfaced budget report, which was prepared at the start of the year, those sails alone cost $350,000.
But Goldzband says that just having sails doesn't automatically make a vessel a natural fit for the bay.
"The commission is going to ask, 'Is there an alternative (land) location for this program to occur?' " Goldzband said. "If there is, then the commission is going to have a very difficult time convincing the public there should be something happening on the bay."
Expired: Just three years after installing 6,500 high-tech parking meters at a cost of $3 million, San Francisco is ripping them out.
"It's all part of a citywide upgrade," said Paul Rose, a spokesman for the Municipal Transportation Agency.
The contractor will give the city $650,000 in credit for the old meters - put in as part of a pilot project - bringing the upgrade cost to about $2.35 million.
The result will be even higher-tech meters that have bigger display screens - and confirm payment by phone. They'll be installed by March.
Pet project: The fate of that planned pet columbarium at a North Beach church is up in the air, now that the volunteer behind the effort has been forced out over allegations he coerced an employee into having raunchy sex.
William McLaughlin, a Marin County developer and volunteer board chairman of the National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi, was the force behind the novel plan to build the pet mausoleum in the church's basement.
Now, McLaughlin is at the center of a sex-harassment complaint that former church employee Jhona Mathews has filed against the church, saying she was fired when she broke off a relationship with him. McLaughlin, she said, forced her to have spanking sex in the church and elsewhere to keep her job.
The church says it fired Mathews after discovering she allegedly embezzled shrine funds. Her attorney says she didn't, and McLaughlin hasn't returned our calls.
Where does all this leave the pet columbarium?
"We don't know," said Larry Kamer, spokesman for the church. "Frankly there hasn't been a whole lot of discussion, as we deal with the more pressing facts."

Dear Runners,
After consultation with City of Wilmington Police, Riverfront Development Corporation staff, our Volunteer Director and sponsors, we have made the determination to cancel the inaugural Wilmington Women's Half Marathon & 8K Road Race due to the impending Nor-Easter Weather system hitting the Wilmington area this weekend.
This system will arrive on Friday evening with driving rain, high winds and wind chill temps in the upper 30's to low 40's for all of Saturday, October 27th, 2018. (Race Day & Evening) Please see the link.
This announcement is being made early because we have athletes traveling to this event and we do NOT want our female runners to loose out on any additional expenses due to air travel and hotel rooms! These decisions are never easy, but safety will always be the most important factor taken into consideration when an event is canceled. Athletes, Spectators, First Responders Volunteers, the motoring public and Staff have to be considered when these decisions are made!
Athletes we've also decided to make several offers to you at this time for the 2018 & 2019 Wilmington events!
1.) Athlete Shirts & Medals will be sent to our two partner retail locations next week, Delaware Runner and Philadelphia Runner for pick up. If you're outside of the Wilmington area, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive your selected size shirt ordered and medal!
2.) Athletes that were registered for the 2018 Wilmington Women's Half Marathon & 8K will receive a VIP Active Link when registration opens for the 2019 event! This VIP Link will give you a FREE ENTRY into the 2019 Wilmington Women's Half Marathon & 8K Road Race!
3.) Athletes may request to move their entry to the Alpharetta Women's Half Marathon held next weekend on Sunday, November 4th for free!
3.) Athletes can move their entries to the following events for 2019:
- New Orleans Women's Half Marathon & 5K on Sunday, March 10th from New Orleans, Louisiana
- Napa Women's Half Marathon & 5K on Sunday, March 24th from Napa, California
- National Women's Half Marathon & 8K on Sunday, May 5th, 2019 from Washington, DC
Entry fee prices for these events are: $30.00 for the Half Marathon, $20.00 for any 8K or 5K Road Race. (Note: Because of our registration opening price point structure, you will be receiving at least a 50% discount on the current price to enter for any of these National Women's Half Marathon Series Events) If you decide to take advantage of this offer, you must email us at email@example.com by December 31st 2018!
We are extremely disappointed by this decision especially since this is our inaugural event in the City of Wilmington, Delaware! We hope do see you and others at this event next year which has a tentative date for Saturday, October 5th, 2019!

I am LOVING this quarter's new Sunday school theme! The theme is plants, garden, etc. and it sooo colorful! We have a consistent 20 or so kids, and on a good, hectic Sunday we can run around 40.
Lives are being touched, and progress is being made little by little. Through this endeavor God has brought in so many young children and their family members. Not all have lasted-- many have visited for one Sunday and then are never seen again, but there are those few that have remained faithful and and have brought sisters, brothers, other family members, etc. Thank you Jesus!
Here are just a few pictures from the past few Sundays:
|Beatriz and her two little neighbor friends
|Building the Garden of Eden!
This past Sunday the lesson was on Noah's ark!
It was Pastor's turn to teach the lesson, as Noah. The kids loved it!
This is Noah, talking to God. (As we all know, he really did talk to God by means of telephone, while holding a cheetah print umbrella!)
Rainbow cake for the rainbow lesson!
Kiddos lined up to get their candy bags
Bro. Valentin teaching the kids about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus!
Sis. Marisol helping the kids learn the memory verse.
Hna. Elvira helping the children with their craft!
Thank goodness for our Sunday school team! We could not do this with out them.
More to come soon! We are back in the business of blogging! :))

Lom and Ã…lesund
We decided to celebrate May 17th, the national holiday of Norway, in a special way. We read that a guided tour on skies was organized at the highest mountain of Norway called Galdhøpiggen (2469m high) in Lom. We called one of the organizers and she said it would be suitable for everyone, young and old, experienced and novices (I am not really that good on skies). The tour started at the nice cottage Juvasshytta, and would end at the top of Galdhøpiggen. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and there was fog everywhere. Even though advertised as being for everyone, the reality was different. The people that could not keep up the pace (including us) were sent down again after about one-third the trip. Because we were there for the social aspect it was a good choice to return and we have met a lot of nice people on the way back. The day after we decided to drive to Ålesund and spend the next two full days exploring this city. Driving through the valleys is a terrific journey by itself, and I wished I would have taken more photos on the way. May 18th we arrived in Ålesund. Ålesund is a beautiful little city at the coast of Norway, and has a lot of buildings in Art Nouveau architecture. That is because this fishing town burned down to the ground on January 1904 and had to be rebuilt completely. The touristic spots in town can be seen in one full day, but since we stayed for two days we took it easy. We had some great fish at the restaurants there and we enjoyed the nice view on the fjords that our hotel offered.

FRANKFURT — The International Monetary Fund, warning of "a sizable risk" that some euro zone countries could suffer a debilitating decline in prices, called on Wednesday for the European Central Bank to pump money into the region's economy by buying huge volumes of government bonds.
Such bond buying, which the Federal Reserve has undertaken in recent years to stimulate the United States economy, is a move the central bank has resisted, one that would probably outrage the fiscal disciplinarians of Germany.
And it is unclear whether the I.M.F.'s public push for big spending by the central bank will make it more or less likely for the bank's president, Mario Draghi, to act. He, like any central banker, wants to appear immune to outside pressure.
But the I.M.F. is well respected, and its warning of deflation, a destructive plunge in prices, could help give the central bank the economic rationale to use the stimulus of buying billions of euros in government bonds.
In a report critical of euro zone policy, the I.M.F. said that there was a 25 percent risk of consumer price deflation before 2014 and that the danger was greatest in countries, like Italy, where growth was slow and the government was counting on tax increases to reduce its huge debt.
"A deeper euro area crisis would have substantial global implications," the I.M.F. said in its report, which also warned of other possible shocks to the euro currency bloc, including the failure of a big bank.
The central bank did not comment on the fund's report.
Deflation is typically a feature of severe economic decline and soaring joblessness that far outweighs any benefit to consumers from falling prices. A downward price spiral would make it harder for countries like Greece, Italy and Spain to control government debt, the fund said, because falling prices and wages would further depress tax receipts.
Prime Minister Mario Monti of Italy has been a leading proponent of government bond buying by the central bank. Spanish leaders have been pleading with the bank to buy their bonds and hold down borrowing costs.
The central bank has spent 212 billion euros, or $260 billion, at the current exchange rate, buying government bonds since 2010, but has resisted calls for it to mimic the much larger purchases by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, the Fed has made two rounds of purchases, totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. Many economists say this quantitative easing is a reason the United States economy recovered from the crisis faster than most of its European counterparts.
Richard Barwell, an economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland, doubted that the central bank would follow the monetary fund's advice without evidence of deflation throughout the euro zone. "I think they would view it as being counterproductive," he said. "It would be alleviating all pressure on policy makers to solve the underlying cause of the problem."
But fund officials framed their call for big bond purchases as a way for the central bank to maintain its control over interest rates and contain borrowing costs for troubled countries.
"It is an essential part of the E.C.B. fulfilling its mandate," Helge Berger, an adviser in the fund's European department, said during a conference call Wednesday with reporters.
Quantitative easing is how central banks stimulate the economy when they have already pushed interest rates as low as they can go. This month, the central bank cut its benchmark interest rate below 1 percent for the first time, to 0.75 percent. But quantitative easing is opposed by Germany, the biggest contributor to the bank, because it would amount to the use of the central bank to finance governments. And German sentiment carries weight with the bank, which is reluctant to further divide the euro zone.
Mr. Draghi has given no clear signals that the bank is seriously considering quantitative easing or other measures. But on Tuesday, at a meeting here with Michael Noonan, the Irish finance minister, Mr. Draghi tentatively addressed a widespread concern that central bank bond buying hurts more than it helps. For instance, it could make the central bank a senior creditor over other bond buyers, who would then be at greater risk if a government defaulted on its bonds.
This year, when the central bank, I.M.F. and European Union agreed to another rescue of Greece, the bank would not share in the losses that private investors were required to take on their Greek bonds. That position inadvertently increased the perceived risk of other governments' bonds, by signaling that private investors would be last to collect in case of future losses.
But Mr. Draghi, at his meeting with Mr. Noonan, apparently indicated that the central bank was reconsidering its insistence that it rank above private investors when it holds a government's bonds. "Mr. Draghi noted that the question of burden sharing with senior bond holders is evolving at the European level," the bank said in a statement later.
The fund's warning about deflation was part of a report on euro zone policies in which the fund again criticized European leaders' handling of the euro crisis. "The deepening of the crisis suggests that its root causes remain unaddressed," the report said. It faulted what it said was a lack of "ambitious policies to restore strong and balanced growth across the euro area."
"The viability of the monetary union itself" is in doubt, the fund said. It praised progress by European leaders in recent weeks on creating a banking union with a central regulator — based at the E.C.B. — which it said would help prevent national regulators from pursuing policies designed to protect their banks at the expense of those of other countries.
Common bank supervision "allows banks to be guided by European or euro area considerations," Mahmood Pradhan, deputy director of the fund's European department, said during the conference call.
But the fund said that euro zone countries needed to go further, eventually issuing common debt and ceding some authority over their national finances. Germany and some other countries remain firmly opposed to common debt, so-called euro bonds, unless they have more control over spending by other euro zone countries. France and other countries favor euro bonds but have not been willing to give up control over their own budgets.
The fund acknowledged that it would take time to build a more durable currency union and said that central bank action was needed in the meantime.
"Monetary policy can play a role in easing the transition until structural reforms become effective," the fund said. "Because inflation is low and falling, the E.C.B. has room for lowering rates, and deploying additional unconventional measures would relieve severe stress in some markets."
In a response to the report on behalf of European Union institutions, Ambroise Fayolle, who represents France on the executive board of the fund, said that officials were "in broad agreement" with the fund's conclusions. He highlighted the progress that European leaders had made to impose more spending discipline on one another and strengthen the banking system.
"The authorities reiterate their resolve to take all the necessary actions to preserve the integrity and stability of the euro area," he said in a statement.

We very often take shortcuts to reach notes or play a difficult passage. Although you might actually get what you want in the short term, you can easily develop bad habits from forcing things which will hurt you in the long run. AT can help you unlearn some of these bad habits and replace them with good ones.
I was always amazed how good my playing felt after each Alexander technique lesson. Some conservatories and music faculties offer it on their premises. If you are lucky enough to be in one of these schools, take advantage of this. If your school doesn't have an AT teacher, make a little research to find one in your area. You won"t regret it. You'll immediately feel a difference in your tone and it'll greatly improve the fluidity of your playing.
Here is a video of an Alexander technique masterclass to give you an idea of what it can do for you. You can find many more about it online.

We are very proud at the effort they put in and their dedication to perform well, they did the PE department and the school very proud.
We had a variety of successes throughout the day, with Jack Wilcox who achieved a Medal in each of his events. He was awarded Gold in both the Shot Putt and the Discuss in the Year 7 boys category and a Bronze in the Javelin to go along with those.
Jordan Maynard also did well in his throwing event, achieving a Bronze medal in the Shot Putt. He also came 4 th in the 300m.
Tom Swindley also achieved a medal in his Long Jump, where he was awarded the Silver medal.
Matthew Hopton did very well in is Sprinting events and was placed in the finals for both the 10m and the 200m, where he narrowly missed out on a medal achieving 4 th place in the 100m and 6 th place in the 200m.
Harvey Roderick followed in his footsteps and placed in the Finals of the 100m and 200m for the year 7 boys category, where he achieved 7 th place overall.
McKenzie Clayton also showed his running prowess in the 1500m, coming in in a very respectable 5 th place, whilst Aiden Wilcox showed his Javelin abilities, placing in 5 th also.
The girls also did us proud, with Paige McNeish Achieving 4 th place in the 75m Hurdles event, and event which she has never done before or even had any training in, so a huge congratulations for her. Slight disappointment for Faith Owen, who achieved a very good standing in her Shout putt event, she was told she placed high, maybe even medal contention but as her throws and distances were not recorded she was unable to be awarded a medal. She came away very happy in spite of this.
Overall we had a very enjoyable and competitive day, and once again demonstrating our sporting abilities against bigger schools in the local authorities and doing Maesydderwen proud.
