Hydrogen is considered one of the most promising decarbonized fuels. However, its applicability is limited due to the ecological constraints of its production. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is widely available in oil and gas reservoirs and has the potential of becoming an energetically favorable source of hydrogen. Nevertheless, its electrochemical separation into H2 and elemental sulfur has not been successfully achieved at the industrial scale, due to sulfur poisoning of the electrodes at the sulfur oxidation half-reaction. This review highlights the progress of the direct electrolytic separation of H2S below the sulfur dew point, where the sulfur poisoning effect becomes more prominent. The article discusses the different technologies and approaches explored to improve the energy efficiency and stability of H2S electrolytic systems, including the recent use of nanostructured electrodes and novel sulfur solvents as electrolytes.
1 Introduction
Current environmental conditions call for the development of ecological energy sources (Sekimoto et al., 2015; Raziq et al., 2022a; Ali et al., 2022b; Raziq et al., 2022b; Ali et al., 2022c; Ali et al., 2022d; Iqbal et al., 2022; Wahid et al., 2023). Among the candidates, H2 is one of the most attractive alternatives to fossil fuels. Its direct combustion or fuel cells oxidation release no pollutant byproducts. However, the industrial production of H2 is mainly carried out by energy-intensive hydrocarbon reformation process (Kalamaras and Efstathiou, 2013). This aspect overshadows the ecological qualities of H2 and hinders its usage as a standard fuel. Research towards finding scalable, efficient, and environmentally friendly methods to produce H2 has been relentless, focusing primarily on catalytic water splitting (Ahmad et al., 2015; Chen et al., 2016; Shiva Kumar and Himabindu, 2019; Iqbal et al., 2021; Ali et al., 2022a; Yasin et al., 2022a; Yasin et al., 2022b; Ibraheem et al., 2022), due to its worldwide availability. Currently, the most economically and environmentally viable option to drive this reaction is via electrolysis. H2 generation systems based on this method are already commercially available. Nevertheless, water electrolysis, a longstanding known phenomenon (Trasatti, 1999), still has constraints such as high-cost electrodes, electrolytes, and catalysts, as well as long-term stability issues (Li et al., 2016).
An alternative source of H2 is hydrogen sulfide, although it is conventionally overlooked. Gaseous H2S is recognized for its characteristic rotten egg odor and its health hazards at concentrations as low as 10 ppm (Li et al., 2022). H2S is found concurrently in gas and oil reservoirs. It is conventionally considered a burden in processing fossil fuels, as it requires strict handling safety measures and costly remedial treatments. H2S is helpful in diverse industrial applications, nevertheless it is primarily oxidized in the Claus process (Zhang et al., 2015). Its byproducts are mostly sulfur and water, as indicated by the overall reaction found in Eq. 1.
An unwanted byproduct of the Claus process is SOx. Its emission is reduced to acceptable standards using tail-gas treatments, which achieve more than 99% sulfur recovery (de Crisci et al., 2019). Sulfur is the only valuable byproduct of this process, although it is not a high value commodity. Therefore, the Claus process is considered a convenient H2S mitigation method rather than a sulfur production process. In this regard, finding cost-effective and scalable methods to generate H2 from H2S is essential to unlocking the ecological and economic benefits of H2. Furthermore, such a process would bring value to the oil and gas industry.
The different explored approaches to achieve efficient and stable H2S splitting include high-temperature catalysis, thermochemical methods (Bandermann and Harder, 1982; Noring and Fletcher, 1982), photolysis, photocatalysis (Oladipo et al., 2021), plasma (Nunnally et al., 2009), and electrolysis. However, several challenges have hindered the development of a practical and economically viable splitting method. In the case of heterogeneous catalysis, the most common obstacle is the passivation of the electrocatalyst by elemental sulfur. This phenomenon has forced the development of specialized techniques to inhibit it, e. g., stirring the electrolyte, and using porous electrodes, organic solvents, and high operational temperatures (Jangam et al., 2021). The last technique is common in current Claus H2S treatment units. They are operated above the dew temperature of sulfur (180°C) to avoid precipitation (Li et al., 2022). However, its implementation becomes more delicate when the purpose of the reaction is to obtain H2 (Lim and Winnick, 1984; Weaver and Winnick, 1987). Additionally, operating at sustained high temperatures requires a continuous heat supply, which increases the reactor's operational cost and promotes the components' degradation. Thus, low-temperature dissociation methods would be preferable from an economic and environmental perspective. This review intends to highlight, from a technological and chronological perspective, the progress towards the decomposition of H2S into H2 and elemental sulfur by direct electrolysis at temperatures below the dew point of sulfur. The electrochemical conditions of the reactions, the electrocatalyst materials, and the available techniques to diminish the electrocatalyst passivation by sulfur precipitation are discussed, including novel techniques involving nanostructured electrodes and specialized sulfur solvents.
2 Electrochemical separation of H2S
Low-temperature electrochemical methods have gained interest in splitting H2S due to its scalability and promising overall energetic requirements. The former is due to the relatively simple electrochemical cell setup, especially when compared to complex photoelectrochemical methods. The latter attribute is a consequence of the minimal energy required for heating and relatively favorable thermodynamics of the H2S decomposition reaction. The potential difference between the H2 evolution reaction (HER) and sulfur oxidation reaction (SOR) is only 0.14 V (Kelsall and Thompson, 1993), substantially lower than the theoretical 1.23 V necessary to drive water splitting (Kay et al., 2006). However, the overall energy required to drive H2S splitting depends not only on its thermodynamics but also on the electrochemical setup, given that it is largely affected by the ohmic and mass transport losses as well as kinetic overpotentials on the electrocatalysts (Obata et al., 2019). Proper selection of the electrochemical conditions is a crucial step for optimizing the energy expenditure of the process.
In general, the electrolytic splitting of H2S is conducted via direct and indirect electrolysis. In direct electrolysis, H2S is oxidized straightforwardly into elemental sulfur and free protons, whereas indirect electrolysis is a two-step process. First, an intermediate is used to react chemically with H2S and precipitate or separate sulfur. Subsequently, the intermediate is regenerated by electrolytic oxidization. The advantage of the indirect electrolysis method is that the sulfur extraction is facilitated since the initial H2S reaction is decoupled from the electrolytic process. Nevertheless, this method requires a higher voltage to electrolyze the intermediate, and in some cases, the intermediate can degrade over time or migrate from the anodic to the cathodic chamber (Huang et al., 2019). On the other hand, the advantage of the direct electrolysis method is that it requires less energy because the potential necessary to drive the reaction is close to the HER and SOR potential difference. However, these systems suffer from sulfur passivation on the electrocatalyst surface or struggle to separate the sulfur from the electrolyte during the reaction. The sections below describe the advances in the field, and a summary of the mentioned works is found in Table 1.
2.1 Early developments on H2S splitting
One of the crucial steps in direct electrolysis of H2S at low temperatures is their absorption by a suitable electrolyte. This fluid should be chemically stable and thermodynamically inactive within the electrolysis potential difference. Early works demonstrated the possibility of using alkaline solutions for this purpose, particularly solutions containing NaOH (Anani et al., 1990; Mao et al., 1991). In those works, attention was shifted from the material composition of the SOR electrocatalyst, as their primary objective was to find the optimal H2S processing conditions. This involves splitting H2S with minimal sulfur deposition on the electrocatalysts at ∼80°C. Anani et al. (Anani et al., 1990) used graphite, nickel, nickel-chromium, and titanium as SOR electrodes. However, they did not present a meaningful comparison of their electrocatalytic activity as they only mentioned a worse passivation effect in the metallic electrodes. Indeed, at that time, the deactivation of electrocatalysts by sulfur precipitation during the electrolysis of polysulfide solutions was a well-known problem (Fetzer, 1928; Hodes et al., 1980; Buckley et al., 1987), and several attempts to palliate it are documented, including the use of organic solvents to remove it from the electrocatalyst (Shih and Lee, 1986).
Research towards optimizing the H2S splitting continued, looking for better SOR electrocatalysts and more practical methods to avoid their deactivation. Subsequent works expanded the list of SOR electrocatalytic materials, adding LaSrMnO3 and Raney-nickel. Petrov and Srinivasan (Petrov and Srinivasan, 1996) demonstrated that LaSrMnO3 had better SOR electrocatalytic performance than graphite, CoS, Raney-nickel, and Pt/C electrodes. They reached a current density of 300 mAcm−2 at a cell potential of only 1 V. Their process scrubbed H2S in a NaOH solution, then alkalinized the solution to pH 14, and electrolyzed it. All those steps were done in separate chambers, as Anani et al. (Anani et al., 1990) had previously proposed. Petrov and Srinivasan improved Anani et al.'s method by doing the final sulfur precipitation in a separate chamber, preventing sulfur precipitation in the graphite, CoS, and LaSrMnO3 electrodes but not in the Raney-nickel, Ni, and Pt/C electrodes.
2.2 Sulfide electrooxidation mechanisms
Concomitantly, other researchers focused in understanding the reaction mechanism of sulfide electrooxidation. Cobalt phthalocyanine traces, used previously to catalyze the electroreduction of oxygen in KNO3 aqueous solutions (Komorsky-Lovrić, 1995), were studied as electrocatalysts for the oxidation of sulfide ions by Komorsky-Lovrić et al. (Komorsky-Lovrić et al., 1997) via cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under the chemical conditions of their experiments, the CV measurements were consistent with a two-step oxidation of HS− ions:
In the case of a low sulfide ion concentration (<10−4 M), the KHS2 adsorbed species would dissociate following the reaction shown in Eq. 4.
Komorsky-Lovrić et al. (1997) stated that the adsorbed sulfur stays on the surface of the electrocatalyst and works as a bridge for the charge transfer process between the electrode and HS− ions. However, it is essential to note that the proposed reaction mechanism does not yield free elemental sulfur as a final byproduct and that there were no analytical measurements of the species in the electrolyte after the redox reaction. Moreover, there was no description of gas evolution in electrodes, so it is unclear whether cobalt phthalocyanine-based SOR electrodes can perform the corresponding electrooxidation reaction to produce elemental sulfur.
Chen and Miller (Chen and Miller, 2004; Miller and Chen, 2005) performed further studies related to the mechanism of the electrochemical oxidation of sulfide ions. The SOR electrode used in their experiments was Ti/Ta2O5-IrO2, and they performed different electrochemical characterizations under different conditions, including variations in temperature and sulfide concentration in the aqueous electrolyte. In their experiments, temporal oscillations of the SOR electrode potential (vs. a reference electrode) were present in specific galvanostatic conditions and at specific current intervals during linear galvanic voltammograms. The analysis of their chronopotentiometry observations indicates that the origin of the oscillations was the alternation of the dominant oxidation reaction performed by the electrode. In the lower part of the potential oscillation, the dominant reaction is the oxidation of sulfide into sulfur, causing the sulfur deposition on the electrode and therefore inducing an increase of the electrode potential to keep the current at the set value. However, this increment in potential favors the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from the aqueous electrolyte, making water oxidation the dominant reaction in the oscillation peak potential. The shift towards OER increases the availability of HS− and S2- ions as sulfur oxidation is minimized, increasing the dissolution of sulfur through the reactions displayed in Eq. 5 and Eq. 6.
The enhanced sulfur solubility and the increased mass transfer rate generated by the oxygen evolution led to the removal of sulfur deposits from the SOR electrode, promoting the rebound of the electrode potential at the lower bound of the oscillation. The continuous formation and removal of sulfur deposits on the surface of the electrode were observed during those measurements. This further supports the proposed reaction mechanism. These results highlight the importance of the selection of electrode materials, electrolytes, and electrical conditions of the electrolysis. The latter encompasses current density and potential, which influence the preferred chemical reactions. Such observation becomes even more relevant when there is great interest in applying these electrolytic processes at an industrial scale, where it is necessary to use high currents and voltages to obtain a higher yield of desired products.
2.3 H2S splitting beyond fossil fuels
Subsequent works explored the possibility of using electrolysis for H2S splitting in applications beyond the discussed cases of fossil fuel and natural gas scenarios. Sanli et al. (Sanli et al., 2014) researched the attainability of oxidizing sulfide ions contained in artificial seawater with chemical conditions like the ones found in the Black Sea. Their investigations used MoS2 as the SOR electrode, which exhibited electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of HS− into elemental sulfur. However, the final purpose of their work was to use the SOR electrode in H2S fuel cells, where the catalytic HS− oxidation must occur spontaneously to generate electricity besides elemental sulfur. The idea of oxidizing sulfide from brines was also explored by Ateya et al. (Ateya et al., 2005). They used carbon-felt SOR electrodes to drive H2S splitting from wastewater brines. Alternatively, Karapekmez and Dincer (Karapekmez and Dincer, 2018) presented an H2S abatement system using a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer (PEME). The H2S PEME had a CsHSO4 electrolyte and operated at 150°C. Their system was designed to treat the H2S generated in geothermal power plants, and its practical implementation led to a substantial decrease in H2S emissions.
2.4 Avoiding the passivation of SOR electrodes
The passivation of SOR electrodes had been the bottleneck in the development of low-temperature H2S splitting systems. Recently, two research approaches, shown schematically in Figure 1, demonstrated the possibility of avoiding the passivation of SOR electrodes, one through the design of nanostructured electrocatalysts and the other using a novel organic sulfur solvent. In the case of nanostructured electrodes, Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2020) reported the fabrication of a SOR electrode consisting of CoNi nanoparticles encapsulated in graphene shells and supported in Ni foam. Three-electrode measurements showed that using this electrode, the onset potential of sulfide oxidation was only ∼0.25 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), 1.24 V lower than the onset potential of water oxidation. Additionally, the electrode exhibited a stable performance during a 500 h chronoamperometry test using a Na2S/NaOH aqueous solution with a current density of around 30 mAcm−2. These results showcase the possibility of generating H2 reliably, with a Faradaic efficiency of about 98% and using significantly less energy than water splitting. The chronopotentiometry analysis of the nanostructured electrode in more realistic conditions was also reported, where it was tested for 1,200 h in a 1 M NaOH solution saturated with 2% H2S/Syngas (50% CO and 50% H2) at a current density of 20 mAcm−2. In such conditions, the electrode's potential was maintained at around 0.5 V vs. RHE with minimal variations. Density functional theory calculations showed that the free adsorption energy of the sulfide oxidation intermediate is minimized in graphene-encapsulated CoNi nanoparticles compared with pure graphene or CoNi nanoparticles alone. This characteristic is generally accepted as an indicator of good catalytic material (Nørskov et al., 2009), thus explaining the excellent activity of the electrode towards the SOR and its capacity to avoid sulfur deposition on its surface.
FIGURE 1. Current approaches to solve the SOR electrode passivation by sulfur deposition by using either (A) a sulfur solvent with a upper critical solution temperature (UCST), where sulfur solubility drastically depends on the solvent temperature; and (B) a nanostructured electrode with high sulfur-deposition resistance.
Nanostructured electrodes exhibited further advantages in the work led by Kumar and Nagaiah (Kumar and Nagaiah, 2022). They used CoFeS2 nanograins conjugated with nitrogen-containing carbon as a SOR electrode. They tested several stoichiometries of the sulfide material, finding a better electrocatalytic activity towards the SOR using an electrode with a Co:Fe ratio of 3:1. Linear sweep voltammograms of this electrode showed a SOR onset potential of just 0.23 V vs. RHE. The current of the electrode in chronopotentiometry measurements for 120 h was about 55 mAcm−2 at only 0.3 V vs. RHE, a better performance than the nanostructured SOR electrode from the work of Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2020) with a comparable Faradaic efficiency for H2 generation (∼97%). The electrode's current during the 120-h characterization was relatively stable, with a slight decrease over time due to a reduction of the electrochemically active area to 81% of its initial value, demonstrating a minor passivation effect suffered by the electrode.
Ma et al. (2020) proposed another approach to suppress the passivation of the SOR electrode. They electrolyzed H2S in a mixture of an ionic liquid (IL) [C3OHmim]- BF4, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TGDE), and monoethanolamide (MEA). The IL, TGDE, and MEA mixture exhibited a superior sulfur solubility above 20°C when compared with a mixture of IL and TGDE. This is ascribed to the protonation of MEA by H2S, as indicated in Eq. 7.
They took advantage of the gradient of the sulfur solubility as a function of temperature to propose a cyclic electrolytic process. A Pt microdisk was used as a SOR electrode and the temperature was modified at different stages of the cycle. During H2S electrolysis, the temperature of the electrolyte is kept at 50°C. As the electrolysis process continues, the electrolyte's color shifts from transparent to yellow, indicating the presence of elemental sulfur dissolved in the electrolyte. The electrolysis is stopped, and the electrode is removed before the electrolyte saturates with dissolved sulfur to avoid its precipitation on the surface of the Pt microdisk. Next, the electrolyte is cooled down to room temperature, which decreases its sulfur solubility, enhancing the precipitation of sulfur. Then the solid sulfur is separated from the electrolyte, which can be used to absorb H2S again and start a new electrolytic cycle. The electrode's endurance test consisted of three 7-h electrolytic cycles with a current density in the range of 10–13 mAcm−2. The Faraday efficiency of the H2 evolution presented a slight decrease from 90.5% to 89.3% from the first to the third electrolytic cycles. These relatively low values were attributed to the formation of polysulfides. The "shuttling mechanism," could explain the large overpotential (∼1.63 V at ∼10.5 mAcm−2) in comparison to the nanostructured electrode proposed by Zhang et al. (0.4 V at ∼30 mAcm−2) (Zhang et al., 2020). The report does not discuss the origin of the large overpotential or if it originates in the oxidation or reduction side. However, the cyclic voltammograms suggest that the electrocatalytic activity of the Pt microdisk is larger when using the electrolyte containing MEA. The origin of the overpotential is likely related to the slower kinetics of this amine, for example, in the reduction of the protonated MEA species formed by the reaction shown in Eq. 7.
3 Conclusion and perspectives
The direct electrolysis of H2S into H2 and elemental sulfur has proven to be a laborious task. The challenge of driving the reaction at low temperatures adds a new dimension to this conversion pathway. However, the research done so far in this field has brought several promising achievements, particularly regarding the avoidance of the passivation of SOR electrodes by using novel nanostructured electrodes or novel sulfur solvents. At this point, there is no feasible method that can be taken to an industrial scale, and there is room for improvement and research on low-temperature H2S splitting systems. For example, it is cumbersome to evaluate the actual capability of a SOR electrode when its electrocatalytic activity is immediately blocked by sulfur deposition. Thus, with the development of novel sulfur solvents, it might be worth revisiting the performance of the SOR electrode materials studied so far in conditions where they are not affected by sulfur passivation. From Table 1, the variety of materials used as SOR electrocatalysts is not as diverse as it might be expected after almost a century of research. Possibly the electrode passivation and H2S toxicity discouraged researchers from dedicating their effort and resources to the topic. Further research may also include sustainable regeneration techniques, where the electrocatalysts can be subjected to chemical or thermal treatment to reactivate their catalytic sites (Ledoux et al., 2000).

Started the editing of the quartet yesterday at Wayne's. We got the first two movements done. The final movement, then mixing/mastering next week. It is very tedious work, but necessary and at some moments fun.

Breeze Through Azabu
In 2015 the International Center for Japanese Culture sponsored a competition for compositions for two 13 string, one 17 string kotos and Bb clarinet. I submitted a piece: Stellar's Sea Eagle - On seeing the Tower of Prayer - Cape Soya. I didn't win the competition, but I dedicated and sent the piece to Michiyo Yagi, with whom I had performed when I was doing my residency in Japan in 2013. She loved the piece, but had no occasion to perform it. A few months ago I received a massage from her husband and manager Mark Rappaport, asking if I was willing to redo the piece for four kotos and clarinet. Michiyo had received a small grant form Arts Council Tokyo to commission and perform new music for koto. Of course, I said yes. However, in reviewing the score, I just couldn't see how it could easily be done. That piece was very specific and each instrument had a particular extramusical role to play. There was no room for another instrument without undermining the conceptual basis of the work. So we decided I should do a brand new work. That work is now in Michiyo's hands.
It is titled: Breeze Through Azabu - I'm Just Seeing. There's Nothing Wrong with Keeping Your Eyes Open. It is for 17, 18, 21, 25 string kotos and Bb clarinet. It combines graphic and normal Western music notation. Azabu is the neighborhood I lived in when I was in Tokyo. It is sort of upscale, with a lot of foreign embassies so therefore a lot of Gaijin, like me and hipsters, not like me. You can see a few shots of the area here. The premier will be on Dec. 3, 2022 at Koen-Dori Classics, the same venue at which I performed with Michiyo.
Giraffe Metatarsal-Springbok Trumpet
It should be clear by now that I make instruments out of animal parts. The instruments are necessarily primitive and crude. Some work well, some barely work at all. When I did that recent project for B. McCreary that needed some sounds for Orc war horns, the request was made for wooden and bone horn horns. Wooden horns you can find and more importantly get good sounds out of. That is because you can control the manufacture of the instrument. Bones are a different story. Basically you take what you can get. I started with cow femurs from my work in the food industry. Those are still the best bone instruments I have. But because of my trip to Middle Earth, I looked around for longer, better bones. I got longer, I wouldn't say better. You saw the photo of the giraffe metatarsal in the September 28 post of this blog. I added a couple of springbok horns at one end and a trombone mouthpiece at the other, resulting in a very cool looking trumpet. It doesn't sound as cool as it looks. What can I say? Bone is bone. They are porous, that inner passage is irregular and random, you don't have much of a bell. But it does work, especially when microphones are employed.
And microphones were employed in the realization of Jessie Cox's Black Mother - ship, which was the finale of the Heidi Duckler Dance production The Body of the People. I used several homemade instruments, as well as some you can get from any good instrument dealer, in Jessie's piece and my own solo section. In that solo section, my character was ancestor calling forth my cohort ancestors and the audience to travel with me to another level of existence. So I chose instruments that made sense to that, but mostly I spoke. Yes, I made it all up on the spot. Gina Cline gets credit for the shots of me as ancestor-caller.
That same weekend (Oct. 21 & 22) I was back at Wayne Peet's studio to do a recording led by Welsh harpist Rhodri Davies, who was at the start of a short U.S. tour. Also on the session was Ang Wilson, playing electronics. We did Davies/Roper, Davies/Roper/Wilson and Davies/Wilson. I'm using the names because using harp/tuba, etc. is so far from what was happening as to be silly. I listened to the roughs a couple of days ago. I think that they are very good. I don't know what Rhodri intends to do with the recordings. Maybe you'll have a chance to hear them someday.
The big excitement is that this past Sunday, (Oct. 30) I was on a shopping trip in Manhattan Beach. There were a lot of people walking around with pumpkins. Okay, it was the day before Halloween, so maybe not so strange. But all of the pumpkins had wheels! The shopkeeper informed us that Manhattan Beach has an annual pumpkin race. I knew you would want some shots of that! (Some of those pumpkins weren't pumpkins.)

Closer to Reality
The Eastside Arts Initiative commissioned a string quartet and its performance at LACSA and YOLA at Torres. It has been a long road getting it finished but the end of the project is near. The original plan was to present the performances then record the composition. But as they say in Zimbabwe, "Shit happens." So on October 15, we recorded the quartet. The performances will now happen on Nov. 10 & 12. Because of COVID restrictions, they will not be open to the public.
The ensemble is the Koan Quartet. The Koan commissioned my first string quartet, titled You are Responsible, Forever, for What You Have Tamed. You might recognize that title for the piece was inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. Because shit, in this case COVID, happened, the piece has yet to receive a performance. So it goes.
But the new piece, titled Juvenile Terrestrial References - Semi-Autonomous Zones, is chugging along for its premiere performance. And the recording is done. More specifically, the recording part is done. It has to be edited and mixed. I'm going to do that this Thursday, Nov. 3. It is going to be one of the more involved post production sessions I've done. Actually I am sure it will be the most involved. I do have another project in the can that will even top this one in terms of post production, but first things first. The quartet played really well and had a refreshing attitude. As usual, Wayne Peet's expertise, crazy ears and musical sensitivity in the engineer's seat made everything flow easily. I think the recording is going to be quite grand. Below you'll find photos of the session.
And below those photos you will find a single shot from an Oktoberfest gig Richárd Bernard's Zeitgeist Polka Band did on the west-side of town. I only include this photo because the light is so hip. It was a small version of the band, a trio. There is something to be said for that. Fewer people to police the tempo for.

The Beat Goes On...
Finally a weekend that I don't have to rehearse or perform. The music biz is not all it is cracked up to be. Not that I've been able to relax. I have a lot of work to do. Not the least of which is a piece I've agreed to compose for Michio Yagi and her ensemble - four kotos and clarinet. Kotos are identified by the how many strings they have. Michio's ensemble has a 17, 18, 21 and 25 string koto. That is a lot to deal with. Writing for four kotos is not like writing for a string quartet. I've been dealing with violins, violas and cellos my whole life. Though I wrote a piece for clarinet and three kotos a few years ago, I have to relearn all that sui generis koto stuff. I have a choice of clarinet and/or bass clarinet. Not sure, but I think I'll limit myself to B-flat clarinet.
Last weekend however, was busy. I did a recording session on Sunday for which I rehearsed on Saturday and the previous Wednesday. The project was for composers Josh Gerowitz, Casey Anderson and Casey Butler. They had a composition each, though Josh's was multi-movement. I enjoyed all of them. The whole experience was great fun. The ensemble was two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, three reeds, percussion, drums, guitar and bass. We recorded at Seahorse Studio, where I recorded with Vijay Anderson a month or two ago. Vinny Golia was on this date as well, like he was on Vijay's.
The Composers...
Saturday's Rehearsal...

The Bones (and Whatnot) Pay Off Again
I have all of these strange and exotic instruments. Most I buy, some I make. Here are three links to videos that demonstrate some of these: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3. Generally I use them for my own projects. Every now and then I get to use them on projects that get some wider exposure, like this project. That first video is an outlier. Usually on these types of jobs there is no credit. The sounds I produce are just part of the sound design. That was the case on one of the Shrek movies. But here's a recent one where I did get credit, the new Amazon series The Rings of Power. This link is to composer Bear McCreary's blog in which he gives me a credit. And here is a photo of the bones that came in yesterday. Eventually I'll make instruments of them. This time, since I have plenty of bone trumpets, I think I'll go a little further and add bells of horn and maybe mouthpiece rims. We'll see. It'll take awhile. The four in the foreground are buffalo, the long one in back is a 25-inch giraffe metatarsal leg bone.
People Celebrating Their Cultural Roots (Or Just Having Fun)
A busy weekend full of festivals. Saturday I drove out to Moorpark, in the southern regions of Ventura county. I was playing with Der Madderhorns traditional German brass band at the Enegren Brewing Company's Oktoberfest. It is a two-day celebration. It is a hard gig...two hours of solid playing. The tuba gets no rest in the realm of polkas. My lederhosen are getting a little tight. A loss of 10 - 15 pounds should solve the problem. I am certainly not going to buy a bigger pair.

MALVERN, Ark. — Arkansas is preparing to launch the state's first public trucking academy, with driver training offered at four locations. The Arkansas Trucking Academy (ArkTA) is a consortium of Arkansas State University (ASU) Three Rivers, University of Arkansas (UA) Cossatot, UA Rich Mountain and UA Hope/Texarkana.
On Wednesday, June 23, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson spoke at an unveiling event at the ASU Three Rivers Campus in Malvern.
"(ArkTA) is another pace-setting workforce solution that has grown out of conversations between leaders in industry and education. Arkansas's businesses had a problem, our educators stepped in to fill it, and we are able to support it with an Arkansas Regional Workforce grant," he noted. It's a model for partnerships between the private sector and government. Because of that, we soon will be putting more trucks on the road with first-rate drivers at the wheel."
New classes will begin on the campuses located in Nashville, Mena, Malvern and Hope. Through a combination of virtual/simulation instruction, traditional classroom instruction and practical over-the-road experience, students will receive 160 contact hours of noncredit training per course. Students who successfully complete the course will be prepared to test for their CDL.
A total of 20 courses will be offered annually, five courses per college, and slots are limited to four students per course. The maximum cost per student is $1,300.
With the increased demand in the trucking industry, ArkTA co-chair and UA Rich Mountain Chancellor Phillip Wilson said he is grateful for the partnership across two university systems to bring the program to fruition.
"Creating opportunities and growing Arkansas' workforce is always a top priority in Arkansas community colleges," said Wilson, who also serves as chair of the Arkansas Community Colleges association.
Shannon Newton, President of the Arkansas Trucking Association, expressed strong support for ArkTA and emphasized the challenges the trucking industry in Arkansas is facing.
"In Arkansas, the trucking industry supports one in 10 jobs in the private sector in Arkansas. We rank No. 1 in the country per capita employed in the trucking industry," Newton explained.
"So certainly, as an advocate of the industry, it is my job to help people understand the role trucking plays in your everyday life (and) also help solve the challenges the industry is facing," she said. "The driver shortage is actually the No. 1 challenge in the trucking industry right now."
The first course will begin Aug. 2, 2021. For more information or to apply, visit www.ArkTruckingAcademy.com.

Greenville's annual Celebrate America Fireworks Show will take place on Saturday, July 2, at 8:45 p.m. The display will take place in its normal spot just below Tiger Stadium. The stadium will be open to the public for seating and viewing of the fireworks show. Find a perfect spot on the bleachers, on the field, or any spot in town to park your car or a pop up a comfy chair on your porch or lawn, and enjoy the beautiful fireworks display sponsored by the City of Greenville. Stadium gates will open at 8:15 p.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. This year's show, which will be the city's 18th year of sponsoring the fireworks display, will be just as spectacular as always and can be viewed from pretty much anywhere around town. The fireworks display will be sure to set the sky ablaze with a large and impressive patriotic fanfare. (File photo)

Mel Tucker hasn't made a lot of flashy hires yet, retaining coaches and hiring behind-the-scenes guys for the coordinator positions. His first outside position coach hire, an OL coach (as it should be), is a big name hire that should excite all of Buff nation.
Chris Kapilovic is (reportedly) your new OL coach for the Colorado Buffaloes. Most recently, he was the OC/OL coach for the North Carolina Tar Heels with Larry Fedora. Mack Brown wanted to switch to an Air Raid offense, so he hired Texas Tech's OL coach, Brandon Jones (on my dream staff list). That left Kapilovic available, and Tucker (again, reportedly) snatched him up.
If I had known Kapilovic was an option, he easily would have been #1 on my list. There are very few more qualified candidates that CU could have grabbed. Kapilovic has coached and recruited at a high level for a long time. He was a P5 OC as recently as last year, and while he wasn't great, he wasn't terrible. Here is a list of his all time recruits. Some very solid names on there, and it doesn't include 1st round pick Jonathan Cooper. Getting him to Boulder, as just an assistant coach, is a huge coup. He is a proven finder and developer of talent, and with the young bucks currently in Boulder, he should be able to mold a respectable group. This also speaks to the new offensive scheme and mindset Mel Tucker appears to have in mind. He want to be bigger, more physical, and power run based. Kapilovic can help deliver that in spades.

Why UNE
The faculty of the social work program stand out, they are all so welcoming to everyone, all opinions, and even different levels of knowledge on topics. They make you feel comfortable with making learning mistakes and they encourage you to strive for your passions. Each faculty member has pushed me and encouraged me to be the best student I could be.
The B.S.W. program has given me a wide variety of classes and the thorough knowledge of each topic to feel as comfortable and prepared as I can be to be a successful social work professional. Each of the courses I have taken has opened my eyes to a new idea. These courses are designed to flow with one another, the professors are almost always on the same page and on track with one another. With each course, I feel more and more knowledgeable on social work, and comfortable putting my knowledge to the test within my work and in my internship.
Experiential Learning
Finding a field placement was a good experience, it was similar to finding an actual job. I was definitely overwhelmed (but in a good way) with all the different options UNE has to offer just to the B.S.W. students, and each field placement was different than the next. I was able to select my top choices and then interview with each and make my own decision. I enjoyed the fact that I had to set up meetings/interviews with each agency on my own, but I also had the support of my field advisor, so any questions I had I could get answers. I did all of this preparing in the midst of COVID so all of my internship so far has been via Zoom or virtual. Both UNE and my internship has been exceedingly flexible with any issues I've had with handling an internship during a pandemic, which is a learning curve for everyone involved. The B.S.W. program has really prepared us in all aspects.

Bid, haggle, and trade your way to the top in this raucous trading game of set collection and player negotiation for 2 to 6 players
Acquire spices, textiles, livestock and other exotic goods by bidding on caravans from foreign markets across the ancient world. Manipulate the market – and each other – using your shrewd bargaining skills to trade with your fellow merchants and collect resource sets to maximize profits.
Hafid's Grand Bazaar is played in a series of rounds based on the number of players. Each round consists of four phases during which players will take turns bidding on caravans, influence, and customers; collecting goods from caravans; trading and negotiating with each other to collect sets of goods; and selling their goods for maximum profit. Goods are divided into five categories, with five different items in each category. Players can see which categories of goods their opponents are holding by the symbols on the backs of the cards, but do not know the specific item the cards represent in those categories.
This isn't your typical trading game and player interaction can get raucous and intense as players get creative with their haggling! The player with the highest value of talent coins at the end of the game wins. The marketplace is dynamic and ever-changing. You will need to stay sharp and engaged to amass the most wealth and become the greatest merchant in Hafid's Grand Bazaar!

A brilliant transformation for the Loftus Specialist Clinic, with great dedication and effort from our Design & Construction Teams.
The clinic specialises in women's health and this new design has been created to suit. The layout was based on access to the rear, and also designed around the existing accessible WC. There are wide corridors to create an open feel, whilst not interfering with other rooms and reception areas.
We ensured that the client's requests were taken into consideration down to the very last detail. The client wanted a light coloured interiors so our Designers based their selections on this initial request, working to create a comforting environment for patients whilst maintaining a feminine look. The owner's love all things 'light & white', so the use of pale oak timber-look flooring was used to achieve this look, whilst maintaining serviceability. The golden tones on the stone reception desk, and brass details throughout add a touch of warmth and elegance. Utilitarian items such as a flatscreen TV and water station in the reception were incorporated without imposing on the overall look.
We work hard to bring your vision to life, and bring our expertise to help reach that end, rather than imposing our ideas on our clients.
Well done Team.

We all know that video content has a tendency to go viral.
This is one of the reasons why TikTok has joined the list of being one of the fastest growing social networking apps worldwide.
With more than 1 billion monthly active users, it has become a home ground for eCommerce entrepreneurs to market their business.
In addition to that, the video-sharing platform can also be used to get product inspiration – especially for those who plan to target a younger audience.
So if you're looking for some fresh ideas to start a dropshipping business then continue reading as we go over everything you need to know about finding TikTok winning products.
Let's begin!
What Product Categories Are Popular on TikTok?
Before you start searching for products on TikTok, it's important to learn which product categories are hot on the platform. So here are 5 categories that draw the biggest numbers:
1. Entertainment
The majority of the people use TikTok to lift their moods by watching comedy short clips. So it doesn't come as a surprise that the Entertainment category is one of the most popular on the platform.
Plenty of products fall into this category including magic kits, toys and even sound bars. Before picking a product just go through different videos to see what connects with the audience and gets the most views.
2. Cosmetics
TikTok is widely used by makeup artists from around the world. This makes the platform a paradise for beauty influencers. Whether it's skincare products or cosmetics you'll find a huge audience for it.
You can even verify that for yourself by searching #skincare and #beauty on the app and see how these categories have 93.6 billion and 97.4 billion views on their videos respectively.
3. Pets
Look up #pets on TikTok and you'll see that the category has secured more than 52 billion views.
From time to time you'll at least come across one pet video that will make you burst out laughing and give you that much-needed dose of dopamine.
Not only that, but stats also say that 86% of pet owners prefer shopping online.
So if you're planning to sell products in this category then from pet food to toys and scratching poles – you aren't short on options.
4. Fashion
Next up is the #fashion category which has scored a massive 151.4 billion views – making it one of the most popular on this list.
This category also opens doors to hundreds of different products including clothes, footwear, jewelry and whatnot.
5. Fitness
Lastly, the #fitness category has also seen a surge in terms of popularity. With more than 185.6 billion views, it is one of the most viewed categories on this list.
From fitness bands to yoga mats and even regular gym equipment, there are a vast variety of products for you to sell. And TikTok can be the perfect app for you to market your business on.
New trends emerge on TikTok almost every day. You never know when a clip of a product may go viral. So how can you find hashtags to hunt those winning products?
Well, one way is to go to the search bar of TikTok and type in the word "AliExpressFinds" or "AmazonFinds".
Press enter, and you'll see thousands of videos and accounts. Look for an account that has a decent number of videos already uploaded.
Open the Tiktok profile and you'll find short product review videos to scroll through. Now, this is where things get a bit tricky.
There are so many videos jumping out on you that it's easy to get distracted. So make sure that you aren't spending too much time on a single video or one account.
The key to successfully hunting products on TikTok is to be disciplined, otherwise, it's easy to go down the rabbit hole of other content.
Once you find a product that catches your interest, look into its description and you'll probably see its name with a hashtag.
All you have to do now is to copy that hashtag and paste it onto TikTok's search bar. The results will tell you how popular the product is among the audience and whether it's worth your time.
How to Leverage the TikTok Algorithm to Find Winning Products?
Did you know that you can get recommendations for different products directly from TikTok? All you have to do is train the algorithm according to what you want to see.
If that sounds complicated, then at some point, you've probably noticed that these platforms somehow read your mind.
You'd talk about a certain product with one of your friends and the next day, you'd see it being recommended in your feeds.
Well, this is no magic and it definitely isn't a coincidence either. This happens because of the powerful machine learning algorithms that are working behind the scenes.
These algorithms analyze your searches and chats and filter ads according to your interests.
So if you're seeing different products being recommended in your newsfeed then the three most common reasons for that are:
- You searched for the product on the platform.
- You follow pages/accounts relevant to that product.
- You mentioned that product in a chat.
Of course, many other factors are acting behind the scenes, but these are the most common.
TikTok's algorithm filters its ads and suggestions based on pretty much the same data – so you probably know where we are going by now.
If you want to train TikTok's algorithm to suggest products then you need to share an interest in your specific niche.
For example, if you want recommendations in the beauty niche then you're going to follow beauty influencers.
Sooner or later this would optimize your ads according to your interests, even if you have a completely new account.
How to Use Tools to Find TikTok Winning Products?
If you're running short on ideas, then you can also get the help of product hunting tools. Note that, most of these tools won't magically help you find a winning product.
Their main use is to get inspiration and to access data on what worked in the past. So here are some tools that you can use for TikTok:
1) DropPoint
Drop Point is a product hunting tool that comes with both a free and a paid plan.
The tool not only displays winning products from AliExpress but also shows winning ads by year.
With the help of the tool, you can see what kind of ads worked in the past to optimize your marketing efforts accordingly.
2) Seller Count
Earlier we talked about how you can visit different pages and profiles to find winning products on TikTok.
But what if we told you that there's already a tool that has already collected all the info for you?
That's exactly what Seller Count does. It organizes all the ads and products into one place, so you don't have to spend hours searching on TikTok.
3) Pipiads
Pipiads is the cream of the crop when it comes to finding TikTok winning products.
It has the largest database of TikTok ads and considering how popular TikTok ads have become among marketers, this tool has a ton of potential.
The subscription fee of Pipiads is $260/month – which no denying, is incredibly expensive.
But all you need to find is one product and you can earn that money back and more!
4) AdSpy (Bonus Recommendation)
This tool is popularly used by many pro dropshippers, and while it does set you back $149/month, the features it offers make it worth it.
For starters, AdSpy has the largest Facebook database to find winning products. We know – you're probably thinking that it isn't relevant to TikTok.
But this tool just offers so many filters for product hunting that we had to include it.
Besides, you can take inspiration from products from the Facebook database and then sell them on TikTok as well, so nothing to lose here.
What Criteria Should You Follow When Choosing TikTok Products?
Product hunting is a vast topic, and usually requires a fair bit of trial and error. But here are 5 golden tips you can follow while choosing products.
1) Target Impulse Factor
The most important aspect of product hunting is to target the impulse of the customers. You need to trigger that "Wow factor" inside them the moment they see the product.
You may have heard about it a couple of times before and are wondering what it means. Simply put, it is a problem-solving characteristic of a product.
A great example of that would be the posture corrector. People didn't know how much they needed that product until it actually existed.
It gave instant results at an affordable price and that's what made it famous and made people impulsively buy it.
2) Avoid Generic Products
Now some people might disagree with this, but if you want to set yourself apart from the competition, then avoid selling generic products.
We're not saying that products like phone cases do not work and won't make you money. However, your top priority should be to target unique products that aren't easily found and then build your brand around that.
Even if these generic products have high demand, don't forget that there's a high supply for them as well.
3) Prioritize Niche Products
Before you finalize a product, ask yourself is this product geared toward a specific audience? If it is, then the chances that it would make you money will significantly increase.
The reason is that if you're targeting a niche market, then you have the opportunity to position yourself as an authority in that niche.
A good example of niche products would be massage guns as we know that this product is normally purchased by athletes.
Keep in mind that targeting niche markets is one of the fastest ways to build a brand.
4) Products That Create Desire
We know that every product isn't built to solve a problem – and that's completely fine. So another thing you should target is to look for products that create a desire.
Jewelry would be a great example of that because although it isn't a necessity, it can enhance your outfit. And as we all know, the majority of the people have the desire to look good.
5) The Right Price Range
This tip especially applies if you're doing TikTok dropshipping. As we know that the dropshipping model works based on how you keep a certain percentage of margin on each sale.
Due to this, most people say that you can't become rich from a dropshipping business.
However, we don't completely agree with that. It all depends on the price range of the product you're selling. If you're selling a $5 product and keeping a $1 margin on each sale, then yes, you probably won't become rich.
However, if it's a product within the $30 – $70 price range, then you'll make more money on each sale. Plus, this is also considered to be the golden range on TikTok.
How to Select the Best Products to Sell on TikTok?
Now that you know the general criteria to find products, it's now time to learn how you can filter your list to decide which products you should sell online.
1) Narrow Down Your List
You want to narrow down your list of products as much as you can. One way to do that is by looking up their search volumes on tools like Google Trends.
To get more precise results, you can filter your search according to the country you plan to operate in. Ideally, you want to stick to products that show a growing interest over time in the chart.
2) Product Type
Time after time, we emphasize that you need to avoid products that are fragile or come with potential restrictions.
This also includes weapons, non-culinary knives, and other items that can potentially cause problems during shipping.
If you have to choose, then start by removing products that fit this description.
3) Evaluate Competition
Before finalizing a product, always evaluate the competition. While we do recommend selling unique products, they should at least have a market.
If no one on the internet is selling that product, then it's probably because it isn't needed by the audience. At the same time, the product shouldn't be overly saturated either.
3 Examples of TikTok Winning Products
1. LED Strip Lights
Most people don't see this coming, but did you know that LED strip lights are one of the products that went viral on TikTok?
Content creators often post videos with these lights tacked up along the edges of their ceiling to give fancy bright color effects.
2. Star Projectors
Star projectors are a treat for people who are obsessed with the night sky. This product brings the whole galaxy into your room.
The brightness is also adjustable and some variants of this product also have Bluetooth speakers included to set the vibe.
Overall, it isn't surprising why it is famous, especially among the young TikTok users.
3. Calligraphy Markers
TikTok is the perfect app for artists to showcase their talent through short clips. So art supplies like calligraphy markers also have the potential to sell like hot cakes on the platform.
Where to Find Suppliers for TikTok Products?
Once you've finalized the product, the next step is to search for a supplier. There are multiple ways to find a supplier and one of them is to try to contact the manufacturer directly.
This may even help you get the best price. The only problem is that most manufacturers have a minimum order quantity (MOQ). If you're running a dropshipping business then this won't be feasible.
So another option is to hop on sites like AliExpress and search the product there then choose a supplier with the best ratings, price, and shipping time.
Lastly, if you want to avoid the hassle altogether, then you can hire a professional sourcing service to do the legwork for you.

Which eCommerce Platforms Can Be Connected to Your TikTok?

How to Promote a Product on TikTok?
We've already covered TikTok marketing in detail, but in a nutshell, there are two common ways to promote products on TikTok. One is to start TikTok ad campaigns while the other is by doing influencer marketing.
Final Thoughts
TikTok is not just an entertainment app now. It's a massive platform that entrepreneurs can use to stay updated with the latest trends and increase their chances of finding winning products.
So if you've successfully managed to find a product that you'd like to sell on TikTok, then congratulations!

Clare Valley grapegrower David Travers and winemaker Jeff Grosset have developed cloud-based software to improve the speed and simplicity of collecting Wine Australia's Label Integrity Program (LIP) information during vintage.
Called Entrust, the software can work in tandem with a new digital screwcap, called Enseal, which the pair have also developed. Both products are in beta testing and winemakers are being encouraged to join the free use trials.
Entrust and Enseal are currently being tested by Wine Australia as a potential cloud-solution allowing remote inspection of the LIP.
Under the LIP, growers and winemakers are required (by law) to collect and retain a range of production information including: the grower's name and address, the winery name and address, the date the grapes are supplied, the quantity, vintage, variety and the Geographical Indication (GI). Entrust allows the winery to centralise regularly used information, such as vineyards and vessels, reducing the duplication of recording transfers on carbon paper, note pads, whiteboards and emails. Other repeatedly used information, such as a grower's name, grape variety and GI can be automatically sent to a grower's smart phone app for harvest, while other LIP data – including location, harvest date and time – are captured automatically through the phone's geolocation services.
Because the information is immutable (unable to be changed) it can be provided as a trusted digital record, such as to prove a label's integrity. Enseal completes the digital LIP, by attaching this digital information to a chip in the screwcap.
In the 2020 vintage, 15 Clare Valley wine companies participated in the Entrust alpha trial. Five of them – Kilikanoon, Pikes, Taylors, Grosset and Mt Horrocks – collected sufficient data to have one riesling used for the Wine Australia LIP test.
Mr Travers, a fifth-generation sheep and wheat farmer, says the extension of Entrust beyond wine is an important beta goal.
'In a post-COVID-19 environment, the future critical infrastructure for Australian primary producers will be universal multi-commodity digital assets, like large datasets, real time analytics, supply chain visibility and distributed payment and financing systems.'
He is encouraging wine companies to create their own free Entrust beta account and be involved in the pre-vintage testing. Various free features include a winemaking dashboard displaying vineyards, stocks on hand (SOH) and winemaking steps are already included.
Mr Grosset says the capacity to create individual bottle serialisation in a high-speed bottling process is currently being tested and will be added to the beta trial in the coming months.
'Importantly, Entrust allows a wine's authenticity, provenance and integrity to be assured; and its potential application goes way beyond wine', he says.
He says Enseal uses near field communication (NFC) compliant 'Tag Tamper' technology that can be read by most smart phones – each cap has its own unchangeable serial number – allowing the provenance of each bottle to be confirmed, as well as the integrity of the seal, as the electronic signature changes when the cap is opened.
Entrust, operates on Hedera Hashgraph an enterprise-grade distributed ledger. Hedera is a fast, decentralised public network that offers better security than first-generation blockchain consensus mechanisms. Hedera is owned by some of the world's largest technology companies including Google, IBM, Boeing and LG.
Modern mobile phones, with in-built GPS geolocation, will allow producers to more simply reduce compliance costs (such as meeting their Wine Australia LIP obligations) and time and prevent some types of supply chain fraud.

|<><><><><> Original message from Ronald G Minnich <><><><><> |I have been having trouble getting PII to work with memory from powerup. I |just now realized that I'm seeing basically the same problem on the Intel |and SiS motherboards. Engineers at SiS, using the same linuxbios romimage |as I am using, has no troubles on the motherboard BUT: they are using |Celeron. (see the linuxbios web page: I can still get the intel |motherboard up with linuxbios, but I have to let the flash recovery code |run first by twiddling the jumper). | |The symptom is that during memory init, at some point the processor seems |to take a trap during a memory write. It is as though some piece of |hardware between the processor and memory is unhappy :-) | |I'm working with SiS to try a different motherboard. But: I'm now |wondering if I'm encountering some kind of PII L2 Cache init problem on |the Slot 1 cards I'm using here. I'm very suspicious that I'm seeing a |particular kind of problem on my Slot 1 PII systems that SiS is not seeing |using a Celeron, and that I'm seeing the same kind of problem on both |Intel and SiS mainboards. | |Any comments on this? Any thoughts? Anyone know if anything special |happens for L2 cache on a Slot 1 card at powerup? It would probably look |like an IN or OUT to an undocumented address (undocumented since this is |Intel we're talking about here). | |ron |p.s. linuxbios: http://www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios
Ron, in going through the SuperMicro P6DGE BIOS they definitely write a number of reserved bits and in the 440GX chip. It is hard to know exactly what needs to be done to get the board to talk to memory. What we have observed is that the processor doesn't trap, but that it doesn't read back from memory what was written. After we think we have memory turned on we do a
push %eax pop %ebx cmp %eax,%ebx 1: bne 1b
The PII then spins. I've yet to find anyone at Intel that will give me the time of day. SuperMicro was initially helpful but they have returned my most recent calls.
