Flow Table Test
The Flow Table Test (FTT) is one of the three test methods stated in Appendix 2 of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code) used to determine the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) of Group A or liquefiable solid bulk cargoes. The two other test methods stated in Appendix 2 of the IMSBC Code used to determine the TML of Group A or liquefiable solid bulk cargoes are the Penetration Test (PT) and Proctor/Fagerberg Test (PFT)[1].
Note: All information contained within these boxes were obtained from Appendix 2 of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code, 2013 Edition[1].
Note: All information contained within these boxes are collaborative notes and not specifically recommended in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code, 2013 Edition[1]
Note: Please refer to the latest edition of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code) before performing the test described below.
The Flow Table test (FTT) has been widely used in the cement industry to test hydraulic cement since 1983 with the release of ASTM C230 / C230M Standard Specification for Flow Table for Use in Tests of Hydraulic Cement [3]. It can be traced back to 1971 when it was used to test Portland-Cement [4] and as far back as 1952 when it was used to test Magnesium Oxychloride Cements [5]. The early BC Code included a modified procedure, created by the Department of Mines and Technical Services in Canada that can be used to determine the TML of bulk cargoes using the Flow Table apparatus. In 2000, this method also branched out into the ISO Guide 12742 [6] [7]. The FTT was introduced to the IMSBC Code, when it was known as the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code), between 1970 to 1971 [8].

The flow table is generally suitable for mineral concentrates or other fine material with a maximum grain size of 1 mm. It may also be applicable to materials with a maximum grain size up to 7 mm. It will not be suitable for materials coarser than this and may also not give satisfactory results for some materials with high clay content. If the flow table test is not suitable for the material in question, the procedures to be adopted should be those approved by the authority of the port State.
The test described in Appendix 2 paragraph 1.1 of the IMSBC Code (the FTT) is used to determine the:
- moisture content of a sample of cargo,
- the Flow Moisture Point (FMP) of the cargo under impact or cyclic forces of the flow table apparatus and
- the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) of the cargo.
- Standard flow table and frame (ASTM Designation (C230-68) - see 3),
- Flow table mounting (ASTM Designation (C230-68) - see 3),
- Mould (ASTM Designation (C230-68) - see 3),
- Tamper (see figure 22.214.171.124): the required tamping pressure may be achieved by using calibrated, spring-loaded tampers (examples are included in figure 184.108.40.206) or some other suitable design of tamper that allows a controlled pressure to be applied via a 30 mm diameter tamper head.
- Scales and weights (ASTM Designation (C109-73) - see 3) and suitable sample containers.
- Glass graduated measuring cylinder and burette having capacities of 100-200 mL and 10 mL, respectively.
- A hemispherical mixing bowl approximately 30 cm diameter, rubber gloves and drying dishes or pans. Alternatively, an automatic mixer of similar capacity can be used for the mixing operations. In this case, care should be exercised to ensure that the use of such a mechanical mixer does not reduce the particle size of consistency of the test material.
- A drying oven with controlled temperature up to approximately 110oC. This oven should be without air circulation.
Volume of Flow Table MouldEdit
As seen in the figure on the right, the volume of the Flow Table Test mould is calculated as 286.66 cm3. Also, by filling the mould with water and by weighing the amount of water in the mould and using the density of water at the temperature it was weighed you can also measure the volume. By using this method the volume of the mould was determined to be 285.29 cm3.
If you want to use the volume of the Flow Table mould for calculations, it is recommended to recalculate the volume using the exact measurements of your mould or fill your mould with water to determine the volume. The volume given above may not be the exact volume of the mould you are using.
Temperature and HumidityEdit
It is preferable to work in a room where the samples will be protected from excessive temperatures, air currents and humidity variations. All phases of the material preparation and testing procedure should be accomplished in a reasonable space of time to minimize moisture losses and, in any event, within the day of commencement. Where possible, sample containers should be covered with plastic film or other suitable cover.
The quantity of material required for a flow moisture test will vary according to the specific gravity of the material to be tested. It will range from approximately 2 kg for coal to 3 kg for mineral concentrates. It should be collected as a representative sample of the cargo being shipped. Experience has shown that more accurate test results will be obtained by ensuring that the moisture content of the test sample is increased rather than decreased towards the FMP.
Consequently, it is recommended that a preliminary flow moisture test should be conducted, generally in accordance with the following, to indicate the condition of the test sample, i.e. the quantity of water and the rate at which it is to be added or whether the sample should be air-dried to reduce its moisture content before commencing the main flow moisture test.
Preparation of Test SampleEdit
The representative sample of test material is placed in the mixing bowl and thoroughly mixed. Three subsamples (A), (B) and (C) are removed from the mixing bowl as follows: about one fifth of the sample (A) should be immediately weighed and placed in the drying oven to determine the moisture content of the sample as received. Two further subsamples, each of about two fifths of the gross weight, should then be taken, one (B) for the preliminary FMP test and the other (C) for the main FMP determination:
Filling the mould. The mould is placed on the centre of the flow table and filled in three stages with the material from the mixing bowl. The first charge, after tamping, should aim to fill the mould to approximately one third of its depth. The quantity of sample required to achieve this will vary from one material to another, but can readily be established after some experience has been gained of the packing characteristics of the material being tested.
The second charge, after tamping, should fill the mould to about two thirds of its depth and the third and final charge, after tamping, should reach to just below the top of the mould.
Tamping procedure. The aim of tamping is to attain a degree of compaction similar to that prevailing at the bottom of a shipboard cargo of the material being tested. The correct pressure to be applied is calculated from:
- Tamping pressure (Pa) = Bulk density of cargo (kg/m3) x Maximum depth of cargo (m) x Gravity acceleration (m/s2)
You can also use the calculator provided on the main site by clicking the following link:
Bulk density can be measured by a single test, using the Proctor C apparatus described in ASTM Standard D-698 or JIS-A-1210, on a sample of the cargo at the proposed moisture content of loading.
When calculating the tamping pressure, if no information concerning cargo depth is available the maximum likely depth should be used.
Alternatively, the pressure may be estimated from the table below:
|Typical Cargo
| Bulk Density
| Maximum Cargo Depth
| Tamping Pressure
| Force on 30 mm Diameter Head
|Metal Ore
|Metal Ore
|Metal Ore
|Metal Ore
|Iron Ore Concentrate
|Iron Ore Concentrate
|Iron Ore Concentrate
|Iron Ore Concentrate
|Lead Ore Concentrate
|Lead Ore Concentrate

|Lead Ore Concentrate
Note: Extrapolation of the tamping pressure from the graph above is not part of the procedure stated in Appendix 2 of the IMSBC Code, 2013 Edition. The graph is shown just as a visual guide to the data given in the table above.
The number of tamping actions (applying the correct, steady pressure each time) should be about 35 for the bottom layer, 25 for the middle and 20 for the top layer, tamping successively over the area completely to the edges of the sample to achieve a uniformly flat surface for each layer.
Removal of the mould. The mould is tapped on its side until it becomes loose, leaving the sample in the shape of a truncated cone on the table.
Preliminary Flow Moisture TestEdit
Immediately after removing the mould, the flow table is raised and dropped up to 50 times through a height of 12.5 mm at a rate of 25 times per minute. If the material is below the FMP, it usually crumbles and bumps off in fragments with successive drops of the table.
At this stage, the flow table is stopped and the material returned to the mixing bowl, where 5-10 ml of water, or possibly more, is sprinkled over the surface and thoroughly mixed into the material, either with rubber-gloved fingers or an automatic mixer.
The mould is again filled and the flow table is operated as described above for up to 50 drops. If a flow state is not developed, the process is repeated with further additions of water until a flow state has been reached.
Identification of a flow state. The impacting action of the flow table causes the grains to rearrange themselves to produce compaction of the mass. As a result, the fixed volume of moisture contained in the material at any given level increases as a percentage of the total volume. A flow state is considered to have been reached when the moisture content and compaction of the sample produce a level of saturation such that plastic deformation occurs (In certain conditions, the diameter of the cone may increase before the flow moisture point is reached, due to low friction between the grains rather than to plastic flow. This must not be mistaken for a flow state.). At this stage, the moulded sides of the sample may deform, giving a convex or concave profile.
With repeated action of the flow table, the sample continues to slump and to flow outwards. In certain materials, cracks may also develop on the top surface. Cracking, with the appearance of free moisture, is not, however, an indication of development of a flow state. In most cases, measurement of the deformation is helpful in deciding whether or not plastic flow has occurred. A template which, for example, will indicate an increase in diameter of up to 3 mm in any part of the cone is a useful guide for this purpose. Some additional observations may be useful. For example: when the (increasing) moisture content is approaching the FMP, the sample cone begins to show a tendency to stick to the mould. Further, when the sample is pushed off the table, the sample may leave tracks (stripes) of moisture on the table. If such stripes are seen, the moisture content may be above the FMP: the absence of tracks (stripes) is not necessarily an indication of being below the FMP.
Measuring the diameter of the cone, at the base or at half height, will always be useful. By addition of water in increments of 0.4% to 0.5% and applying 25 drops of the flow table, the first diameter increase will generally be between 1 and 5 mm and after a further increment of water the base diameter will have expanded by between 5 and 10 mm.
As an alternative to the procedure described above, for many concentrates a fast way of finding the approximate FMP is as follows:
When the moisture content is definitely beyond the FMP, measure the diameter after 25 drops, repeat the test after adding a further increment of water, measure the diameter and draw a diagram as illustrated in figure 1.1.4-1, showing increase in diameter plotted against moisture content. A straight line drawn through the two points will cross the moisture content axis close to the FMP.
Having completed the preliminary FMP test, the sample for the main test is adjusted to the required level of moisture content (about 1% to 2%) below the flow point.
During the Flow Table Test, the FMP is said to be reached when the sample has reached the flow state. The term flow state, in regards to the Flow Table Test, refers to when a sample is showing plastic deformation. This is not to be confusing with showing 'flow'.
See Also: Identification of a Flow State
Main Flow Moisture TestEdit
When a flow state has been reached in the preliminary test, the moisture content of sub-sample (C) is adjusted to about 1% to 2% less than the last value which did not cause flow in the preliminary test (this is suggested simply to avoid starting the main test too close to the FMP and then having to waste time air-drying it and starting again). The final test is then carried out on this adjusted sample in the same manner as for the preliminary test, but in this case with the addition of water in increments of no more than 0.5% of the mass of the test material (the lower the preliminary FMP, the smaller the increments should be). After each stage, the whole moulded sample should be placed in a container, weighed immediately and retained for moisture determination if required. This will be necessary if the sample flowed or if the next, slightly wetter, sample flows. If not required it may be returned to the mixing bowl.
When a flow state has been reached, the moisture content should be determined on two samples, one with moisture content just above the FMP and the other with moisture content just below the FMP. The difference between the two values should then be 0.5% or less, and the FMP is taken as the mean of these two values.
Note: The TML is determined and reported in gross water content by weight. This is different to net water content by weight.
It should be noted that, for many materials, there are recognized international and national methods for determining moisture content. These methods, or ones that have been established to give equivalent results, should be followed.
Concerntrates and Similar MaterialsEdit
It is clearly important that the samples should be dried to a constant mass. In practice, this is ascertained after a suitable drying period at 105oC by weighing the sample successively with an interval of several hours elapsing. If the mass remains constant, drying has been completed, whereas if the mass is still decreasing, drying should be continued.
The length of the drying period depends upon many variables, such as the disposition of the material in the oven, the type of container used, the particle size, the rate of heat transfer, etc. It may be that a period of five hours is ample for one concentrate sample, whereas it is not sufficient for another. Sulphide concentrates tend to oxidize, and therefore the use of drying ovens with air circulation systems is not recommended for these materials, nor should the test sample be left in the drying oven for more than four hours.
The recommended methods for determination of the moisture content are those described in ISO 589-1974, Hard Coal Determination of Total Moisture. This method, or ones that have been established to give equivalent results, should be followed.
Calculation of moisture content, FMP and transportable moisture limit:
The moisture content (specifically the gross water content by weight) of the concentrate "as received" is:
- w1 = Gross Water Content (%),
- m1 = the exact mass of the subsample "as received" and
- m2 = the exact mass of the "as received" subsample, after drying.
The Flow Moisture Point (FMP) of the material is (in gross water content by weight):
- FMP = Flow Moisture Point (%),
- m3 = the exact mass of the sample just above the flow state,
- m4 = the exact mass of the sample just above the flow state, after drying,
- m5 = the exact mass of the sample just below the flow state and
- m6 = the exact mass of the sample just below the flow state, after drying.
The Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) of the material is (in gross water content by weight):
- TML = Transportable Moisture Limit (%) and
- FMP = Flow Moisture Point (%).
Peat MossEdit
For all Peat Moss, determine the bulk density, using either the ASTM or CEN (20 litres) method.
Peat should be above or below 90kg/cubic meter on a dry weight basis in order to obtain the correct TML.
As indicated in 1.1.1, the following should be determined:
- the moisture content of a sample of cargo (MC);
- the flow moisture point (FMP);
- the transportable moisture limit (TML). The TML will be determined as follows:
- for peat with a bulk density of greater than 90 kg/cubic metre on a dry weight is 85% of the FMP; and
- for peat with a bulk density of 90 kg/cubic metre or less on a dry weight, the TML is 90% of the FMP.
Typical ValuesEdit
Below are some typical Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) and Flow Moisture Point (FMP) values, determined using the Flow Table Test, for common solid bulk cargoes:
|Typical FMP values determined using the Flow Table Test (% GWC)
|Typical TML values determined using the Flow Table Test (% GWC)
|Iron Ore Fines
|8.22 - 13.67 (Average = 10.48)[7]
|7.40 - 12.30 (Average = 9.43)[7]

Seems everywhere we go there is a baseball diamond
Dyersville Travel Blog› entry 90 of 124 › view all entries
Our Sunday breakfast was buiscuts and gravy and a bowl of cold cereal at the hotel. Then it was back to see Judy neice again at her home in Watertown. We spent much of the morning updating family happenings and enjoying each others company. Then it was off again, west.
We crossed the border into Iowa after an hour or two much of which was through light to very heavy rain. Again, a few times we had to slow as the rained poured down in such force that even with our wipers going full speed we couldn't see well.
In Dyersville we had planned on visiting one of a very few Basilicas built outside a metropolitan area. The Basilica of St. Francis Xavier, built in the late 1800s, was completely repainted and restored in 2000-2001 with new 24 carat gold and silver leaf.
Then it was out to enjoy the farms and fields surrounding Dyersville. Actually, to visit yet another Baseball Park. This has really turned into a baseball trip. But today's was from a 1989 film. We drove to the movie site of where the film "Field of Dreams" was made. In my condition I couldn't run the bases and the corn was only about knee high so I couldn't magically appear from the corn field, but I did get a few pics just to make my oldest son jealous.
Dinner tonight was at Country Junction Restaurant in Dyersville.
We are staying tonight at the Comfort Inn - Dyersville.
Tomorrow we visit Waterloo, Iowa, to see if they have erected a momument for their most famous of citizens, Travelman727, (Mark), who was born their. If not, we will proceed to the City Hall to protest and begin a campaign to build one. Then if we can get every TravBuddy member to join us in a mail in campaign someday there may be a large bust of Mark with his green St Patty's Day hat on glimmering in front of the Town Hall!!!

How Much Does a Metal Roof Panel Weigh
Because of extreme climatic conditions such as hailstorms, hurricanes, extreme heat and wildfires which affects residential homes in different stats across the country. There are more and more people are becoming aware about having numerous advantage of metal roofing. Corporations and manufacturers in the industry are introducing wide varieties of styles options to increase the elegancy of the house and at the same time increase its worth. Such material gained popularity in fact, there are lots of homeowners upgrade their roofing system from traditional to metal roof.
Durable yet Versatile
Roofs which are made from metal materials are strong and has the capability to standout against adverse climate conditions. In addition, metal roofing is lightweight which are much lighter compared with asphalt shingles. You might be thinking that since metal is tough, it weighs heavier. "So, how much a metal roof weigh you asked?"
A single 26 gauge panel weighs only 0.88 lbs. per square foot. A 12 inches metal roofing panel weighs for about 10 lbs. While most people think about metal roofing is heavier compared to other materials. Yet, if you do the math and compare asphalt shingles over metal roofing, asphalt can weigh 5 lbs. per square foot a 4.12 lbs. differential.
Options Available
In general, roofing companies offer roll-formed and vertical panels which may in fact not suitable for suburban places. The good news is, Alpha Rain Incorporated offers more available options which can help you out to create a new metal roofing appearance. You can have panels treated or painted which give you the edge over your residential home appearance.
Styles and designs may vary from region to region. For an instance, in Southeast region, residential homes faces strong winds which make 14% of home owners prefer metal roofing system. While in the West region, there are several rustic metal roofing designs applicable for most homeowner. While here in Virginia, the climate becomes increasingly warmer and humid farther with an average of 86 degrees. As winter comes, blizzards and winter storm occurs.
Alpha Rain Incorporated
Alpha Rain Incorporated have been serving, installing and developing top notched metal roofing Virginia.

Single Parent Families And Their Problems Essay
, Research Paper
Only a small minority of families fit description of being a "nuclear" family today. Until the 1960's most Americans shared a common beliefs about family life; a family should consist of a husband and a wife living together with their children. The father being the head of the family, earns the family's income, and gives his name to his wife and children. Today, the United States exhibits a pattern of attachments and disruptions in marriages and family structure, including single-parent families and such high rates of divorce that are certainly stressful for nation's developing children and adolescents, leading the American family and the nation's future to a state of crisis. Families are the institution in which character is formed, and what kinds of characters are being formed, what kinds of citizens are being made to carry on our society. It is strange that today whether through their parents' divorce or never having been married, every other American child spends part of his or her childhood in a single-parent family. The increase in the proportion of children living with just one parent has strongly affected large number of children. And a single mother (textbook) heads 78% of those single-parent families.
In this paper, through structural-functional perspective, I would like to present problems that kids have to face in mother headed household.
Most of the time s single parenthood increases women s risk of poverty because it limits her ability to work. Women position in society is still not on the same level with men position. Most of the times they can t get a job because belief that women can t do some jobs as men can is still very strong in our society. And most of single mothers need two jobs to support her kids. Facing this fact her role in society is drastically affected. On the other side, if she chouse to pay more attention to her carrier and work, she will not have enough time for kids. Women with executive or professional careers putting in 40-hours, work, travel and work and home worries don't have enough time for family. And so children are not left with "quality time," which means little time, from parents and "quality phone calls such as: "Honey, I won't be home. I love you." Though the intent is not to neglect the child, this can turn out to be neglect in effect. The worry is what does this do to the children? It of course means that children can feel insecure. It's easy to neglect things that mean a lot to the children, and it shows when they ask: "Why didn't you come to my school play? Oh, you had a client? Do we really need that much money?" It means that the parents are not around to be in the thousands of daily things that make up a child's intellectual, moral, and emotional education, and so babysitters are left to do it, as well as they are able and willing. In this case kids could look for a way out on the street or with friends that are troubled.
Socializing children, restraining their impulses, encouraging their talents, all take time. And parents who don't do this are risking that their kids will not achieve all they can, and are more likely to drop out of high school as kids who get to spend quality time with their parents. What's more, law professor Mary Ann Glendon says: Mothers, mostly African Americans females, who don't spend a lot of time with their kids are not teaching how members of a community live together and respect each other's rights. When parents put personal goals ahead of family, how will kids learn the opposite?" But why mostly African Americans? Research shows that 47% of black families are headed by females, mostly living in poverty. Single mothers (textbook) head 25% of Hispanic, 14% of white and only 13% of Asian American families. So as we can see African American women are in much worse position than women of other three racial groups.
Other problem for single mothers is to control their kids, mostly boys when they reach age of 15. Feeling strong and powerful and with lack of father figure in their lives boys tend to disobey mothers orders and advisees. Reasrech shows that 45% percent of single mothers asks for help because their teenage boys acted violently toward them (Smith). But there is not much government institutions can do for single mothers. Most of the time mothers love for their kid doesn t allows these institutions to react on the right way. These institutions are very limited in their actions and resources any way so they can t really play major role in kid s life. (Hamburg)
Kids from single-mother families are usually not good students or friends to their school friends. Especially boys, on average scored lower on reading and math tests, were absent more often, were more anxious, hostile, withdrawn, and were less popular than their classmates from healthy family environments. They are very troubled and most likely to quit school midway through high school. With lack of education they can t find a good job, some of them may turn against the low and have a very negative affect on society.
Several studies have also found character distortions in children from well-educated, middle-class-divorced families. Many are withdrawn and lonely; many others, while gregarious and popular, choose their friends for the status they confer, manipulate them, and can't keep them for long. Glendon says: "Will a man who hasn't had a father know how to be a father?" Children from single-parent homes were 100% to 200% more likely than children from two-parent families to have emotional and behavioral problems and about 50% more likely to have learning disabilities. (Smith)
No scale can measure the wounds of divorce for children, and recent research suggests they are wounds that never heal. Psychologist Judith Wallerstein, who has intimately followed children of divorce, was shocked by the harm she found, not just right after the divorce but years later. Wallerstein had at first assumed that an unhappy marriage must be unhappy for children too. While they would feel pain at the divorce, they would also feel relief and would be just fine as time passed and their parents grew happier. Not at all. She was taken back by the intensity of the pain and fear that these kids felt when their parents split up. "The first reaction is one of pure terror," says Wallerstein. Though most were middle-class children of executives and professionals, they worried who was going to feed and care for them. Preschool children feared that now that one parent had abandoned the other, both would abandon the child, leaving him unprotected in world.
Even though most were bright, after their parents' divorce, many of the boys in Wallerstein's study started having learning and behavior trouble in school; in adolescence and young adulthood a big number began to drift. By young adulthood, both boys and girls from divorced families were having equal difficulty forming intimate, loving relations. From my research, an example, in which children inquire from their father every couple of months or so, "Are you and mommy getting a divorce?" shows the extent of worry in the child. (Brokaw) Also just seeing the distress of friends whose parents are splitting apart makes the child scared of the humiliating situation. A child who lives in such circumstances finds it difficult to reckon whether or not the people that he or she counts as family can be counted upon in times of need. (Kantrowitz) In later life, adults who grew up in divorced homes are more likely than others to tell that they are unhappy and not satisfied with their lives are. Men from divorced families are 35% more likely–and women fully 60% more likely than their intact-family counterparts to get divorced (Brokaw).
There are some consequences that are well recognized in society, like children s pain, mother problems and their affect on the society. But unrecognized and unintended consequences have great effect on our society too. For example, nobody is wondering why government institutions can't give help to single mothers, or effect that these troubled kids have on kids around them. All the fear and pain they keep inside of them is most of the time fatal for society and people that are surrounding them.
Over the past several decades, the tragedy of parental neglect of children due to divorce is reflective in our society where young adults are involved: Teenage pregnancy, criminality, youth-violence, and drug abuse, to name only a few. Furthermore, day by day they are rising to a wider portion of the society. They lack social support that should promote their education and health. They have very few models of competence. As a result of their parents' inability to save their marriage, the result of the revolution of divorce again had deeply affected the hearts and minds of American children. The fate of these young people is not merely a tragedy for them; it affects the entire nation. A growing fraction of our potential work force consists of seriously disadvantaged people who will have little if any prospect of acquiring the skills necessary to revitalize the economy (Wallerstein). If we cannot bring ourselves to feel compassion for these young people on a personal level, we must at least recognize that economy and society will suffer along with them.

NEW L'Oreal Summer 2014 Limited Edition Sail Away to St. Tropez Collection
In addition to nail colors (which appear to be different than the L'Oreal Summer 2014 Neons), there are some True Match Minéral Pressed Powder bronzing/highlighting compacts, Colour Riche Balms and Voluminous Mascaras in this collection. It looks like the mascaras are repromotes from the permanent line, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Have you spotted the Sail Away to St. Tropez Collection in your area yet? Thoughts?
Thanks so much, Pascale, for the great sighting and pic!

Moving to a different country to attend college or university means starting a new life full of exciting discoveries but also unavoidable challenges. One of the first obstacles international students usually face is obtaining mobile phone service. Many students quickly learn that the U.S. mobile phone system is, unfortunately, very different from what they experienced in their home country. This guide will provide you with an overview of the U.S. system and give you some pointers to help you choose the best mobile phone service for your needs.
If you want to use your existing mobile phone in the U.S., it's important to know about the U.S. mobile phone technology. There are two networks in the U.S. — Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and code division multiple access (CDMA).
|Primary mobile phone technology used internationally
|Few countries outside of the U.S. have CDMA networks
|You can likely use your current phone on this network as most international phones are compatible with the GSM network
|You will likely have to purchase a phone as most international phones are not compatible with this network
|Allows flexibility because you can switch carriers by purchasing a new Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card
|Restricted to carriers on the CDMA network
|Carriers include campusSIMs, AT&T, and T-Mobile
|Carriers include Verizon and Sprint
SIM Cards
Many international students choose to keep their existing mobile phones and instead get a SIM card when they come to the U.S. Should you decide to do that, first make sure your phone is unlocked, so the SIM cards can be switched out. If your phone is locked, you should be able to take it to your provider and have them unlock it.
Additionally, international students who don't have a history of credit in the U.S. may be asked to pay a hefty deposit instead in order to enter into a contract with the provider. Since you don't enter into a contract with a SIM card, you avoid these charges. Also be aware that some providers require you to use the newest technology, so if you have an older phone, a SIM card may be your only option.
When choosing your mobile phone plan, you need to carefully consider whether to sign a contract or go with a contract-free plan.
Many U.S. carriers try to sell you on postpaid, contract-based plans. On these plans, you are usually committed to your carrier for two years and cannot change carriers without incurring significant financial penalties. You will be billed at the end of the month based on how much data you use that month, with monthly minimum requirements. With these plans, you may face extra charges based on your usage, but as long as you are mindful of your usage and don't break or cancel your contract, the monthly rate can be low. These contract-based plans often subsidize the purchase of mobile phones, so if you need to purchase a new phone, these plans may be the best option for you.
Some wireless carriers offer no-contract, monthly plans that allow flexibility and are budget friendly. Through these carriers, you usually buy a SIM card and decide how much you want to spend monthly.
You should also consider what additional features the carriers offer. For example, if you plan to go home during some of your breaks, will your carrier allow you to freeze your account and avoid your monthly fee for a period at a time? Can you cancel at anytime? Does the carrier offer international calling, video messaging, or texting to your home country? Additionally, if you need to contact customer service, does the company have multilingual representatives who speak in your native language?
How to Purchase Mobile Phone Service
In order to purchase your mobile phone service, most carriers require that you go to their stores and meet with a representative. If you have the time and means to travel to the physical store, then this may not be an issue. On the other hand, if you would rather avoid the trip and prefer to save some time, you may want to consider using campusSIMs. They conveniently allow you to sign-up for mobile phone service, order free SIM cards, and activate your campusSIMs SIM card—all through the app.
In summary, it's important to do your research before getting your mobile phone service. Know your needs ahead of time, and you'll be able to find the right plan for you.

Writings by George Burgess (1829-1905)
Moses, "Smiting, and bringing water from the Rock, Horeb" Exodus 17:6
Below is a transcript of page three (the last page) to see the original writings of the first two pages of the scriptural quotes compiled by George Burgess click the thumbnails below. Also, visit The Victorian Web for related readings. Click HERE to see further Scriptural passages searched out by George Burgess.
The Spirit of Praise, and prayer, Lights up a large Portion of the Scriptures, and especially the Psalms. And hosts of learned men believe that some of the foregoing passages refer to distinct answers to prayer.
And hosts of learned men believe that some, of the foregoing passages refer to distinct answers, to prayer.
The prayers of the Old Bible appear to refer only to the affairs of Earth. While the prayers of the New Testament have references to this World, and the World to come.
"Our Father", the example prayer of Jesus, his payer for his disciples and followers, and his prayer at Gethsemane are his few recorded prayers. But he "watched, and prayed", ever.
"John the Baptist" does not appear to have a prayer recorded, but he was a man of prayer, and "taught his disciples to pray".
The disciples, and followers of Jesus have but very few recorded prayers. Yet they were continuous in prayer, and may be said to "pray without ceasing".
And Peter, in a dream, or trance, while on the housetop for payer, had one of the finest, and most divine, and most human of all instructive visions, which taught him "God is no respecter of persons".
The preachers, and orators of scripture do not appear to have made it a Rule to offer up a public formal prayer: Before speaking, powerful preaching was their mightiest teaching.
Prayer cannot alter the course of Nature. It will not change
the weather, Calm the Storm, make the fields fruitful. It will not prevent
the shipwreck, assure safety from disaster, win battles for the weak nor
lose battles for the strong. It will not stay the operation of ay natural
law that relates to the natural processes on any department of Human Existence.
If prayer did any of these things, and brought what millions of clashing
Spirits ask for then the World would be in universal disorder, and could
not continue to exist.

September 6, 2012 | Daniella & Letisha Jones-EllisAlicia Keys is famously known for her singing and musical talents but this lovely lady's talents don't stop there. She has now designed and launched her own collection of shoes; Reebok trainers to be precise.
Over the years, Alicia's look has transformed into more 'feminine shapes' but she has continued to keep her trademark pieces such as the range of trainers and striking jewellery.
Alicia will be working on the range of Reebok Classic Freestyle Hi AK and the Reebok Classic Nylon Slim AK designs where she has put her unique touch into the trainers. There will be images of piano keys and colourful prints that represent the 80's era; b-boy attire.
These sound pretty good to us! And with Swizz Beatz being the creative director for this campaign – who's aim is to bring Reebok back to the mainstream hip-hop culture – this sure is a partnership that is set to do big things.
The range will be available in the near future!

Discussion in 'Stolen Equipment' started by jim6172, Aug 6, 2014.
Wow I go through there all the time. But I don't have a 21" toro.
Well Toro paid off the mower came from a dealer in Austin TX. so I called him and he called the customer who bought the machine, who in turn called me.
the gentleman bought the mower for his son 1 1/2 years ago for his birthday, the son and his wife are going through a messy divorce at the moment and she packed everything up while he was at work and left for mamas in Nebraska, and took the time to scatter all his possessions from Dallas to somewhere south of Nebraska, I asked the gentleman if he wanted the mower back and he said nope its now yours for all the trouble you went through finding us and I answered not for free its not. so he e-mailed me a bill of sale and a copy of the original sales receipt and i sent him $100 dollars pay-pal . All and all everybodys happy except for his son. Also the mower was never used commercial just mowed a half an acre and according to Toro the mower is still under warranty for another 1/2 a year wonder if its transferable? now Ill probably sell my Toro commercial Suzuki if I can part with it had it since new.
Sounds like I need to go check for additional possessions

Very interesting story jim. And got to say you deserve that mower for free even tho you gave him $100. Good honest people like you are very rare. Not only did you find the mower and local the buyer to return it you washed it up and fixed the engine kill problem. My hats off to you you are a good man

yea I was raised in the early 60s when people used to care about others and do anything to help until you get burned and then wash your hands of em.
Great deal Jim. You are a great AMERICAN.

CHALLENGE In a fragmented, constantly changing and very competitive market, Mark Milton have found that it is a challenge to get products in front of the buyers that matter. As a vibrant, exciting and professional London-based show, IJL helps them to communicate with a huge range of trade retailers. OBJECTIVES As an exhibitor since the 1970's, Mark Milton has always gone to IJL with two main aims: to continue to excite their existing customers and to catch the eye of new buyers. Their main goal is to take orders and the unique trading environment that is IJL provides the opportunity for them to showcase their entire range to retailers. RESULTSWith each IJL, a year-on-year increase in business from the show is done, with new accounts opened, stockists secured and many returning accounts reintroduced to their Gold products. With Gold making such a comeback, IJL 2015 really showed Mark Milton that they have what the retailers want. It's now very clear to them that they have exactly the collections needed to get their stockists' Gold jewellery business back on track. "In order to compete and succeed in the jewellery industry, IJL is a must. In its new Olympia location, IJL is better than ever: a wonderful, vibrant London-based exhibition which attracts the highest calibre buyers and jewellery designers/suppliers."

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EasyAsPotPie #CollectiveBias
As a busy working mother, I am always looking for ways to put delicious dinners on the table with minimum work. By the time we arrive home from school and work, dinner preparations quickly need to get underway — and I need a few minutes to unwind. When both of these things can be accomplished at once, it's a very good thing.Fortunately, sometimes delicious convenience foods can help expedite dinner. Marie Callender's pot pies are among them.
My kids love pot pies, and being able to choose ones that meet our individual tastes is a fabulous added bonus. With flavorful gravy, veggies and proteins like chicken, turkey and beef, these pot pies with the flaky crust are something we all enjoy.
And better yet, Will, Paige and I are all able to select our favorites in individual sizes when we buy them at our local Walmart. Score! It makes for a totally easy dinner.
And here's a hint: Since the kids and I all choose different pot pies, I use a knife to cut our first initials into the top of the pies. That way, when they come out of the oven, I can instantly tell which is which. And the kids kind of love having their personal pot pies even more personalized — so there's that too.
To go with this easy dinner, I also love to serve a quick dessert that we all enjoy like Easy Roasted Apple Sundaes with Yogurt. Sweet apples are roasted with a touch of honey and cinnamon and then served with vanilla yogurt and granola in a healthful sundae-ish dessert. It's creamy, crunchy, sweet heaven. And best of all, it's easy. Once the pot pies were done, the apples just need to roast for about 10 minutes and are ready to use in these nontraditional sundaes.
And the best part? When our little family comes together over a dinner like this, we can just settle in and reconnect. It's a great time to share what happened when we were all off at school and work.
Visit http://www.mariecallendersmeals.com/ to learn more about Marie Callender's and also http://potpieplease.com for more great recipes. Also check out Marie Callender's on Facebook.
- 2 sweet baking apples, sliced
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup granola
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Spread the apples on the baking sheet and drizzle with honey. Dust with cinnamon.
- Bake the apples for 8-10 minutes, until softened.
- Divide the yogurt evenly among four dishes. Top each with ¼ of the apples and ¼ of the granola.
- Enjoy immediately

Stanislas Wawrinka made it two titles from two finals in 2016 as he battled past a spirited Marcos Baghdatis to capture the Dubai Tennis Championship. Beating the Cypriot 6-4 7-6 (13), the Swiss claimed his second title of the year after having won in Chennai January.
Tight match produces brilliance
With Novak Djokovic's 17 tournament run of making the final ended by his withdrawl due to illness, the draw in Dubai had really opened up to a number of pretenders to the Serbain's throne. Having defeated the hugely talented Nick Kyrgios in the semi finals, Wawrinka was always the favourite heading into the match against Marcos Baghdatis, especially given Wawrinka's 100% record over his hapeless opponent.
However, the Cypriot can produce moments of brilliance, even if he more often than not surrounds them with moments of frustration. It had been three years since he last took a set from Wawrinka and after almost two hours of play and an incredibly tense tie break, this record remains in place.
Wawrinka, who hasn't lost a final match since 2013, spoke of how 'amazing' it was to end the week, a week in which he only dropped one set; that was in the first round to Sergiy Stakhovsky.
'It's amazing feeling, especially today when I was playing some really good tennis.' He told the ATP Website after the match. 'It was a tough final against Marcos. We always play some tough match.'
By winning, Wawrinka becomes only the fifth active player to win five finals in a row, joining the likes of Roger Federer and even Tommy Haas.
Whilst the first set was close, the second set, and in particular the tiebreak, was on another level. In full, Wawrinka saved five set points in a tie break which proved too close to call, but in the end the Swiss prevailed.
In the doubles, Andreas Seppi and Simone Bolelli defeated Feliciano and Marc Lopez in another thriller, winning 6-2 3-6 14-12.

The blood pressure always goes up a bit when I catch wind of accidents on site. Just to alleviate anyone's concerns, I don't work at Nexen, although I've driven by it a few times. I do know a few people who have worked there though none currently. We work in an inherently dangerous industry, unfortunately. That's just the nature of the beast. I've worked around a coker long enough to know it can be one of the most dangerous parts of a plant.
No doubt, some people will take to social media in order to grind their own personal political axe. It's apparent that, based on a few comments I've come across, that such people have little understanding of what goes on at such sites. I hope that rather than clog up the airwaves with their misinformed judgements that they take a minute to realize that this tragedy has affected many people....the families, friends, and co-workers of those involved.

The staff at this hotel didn't welcome us in the friendly way that is common in Morocco. The room was large in size, but failed to meet any other expectations I had for a 4 star hotel. There was neither a safe nor a fridge / minibar in the room, the amenities in the bathroom were pitiable, the shower gel came in subminiature portions. In the bathroom there was even mould on the tiles (due to lack of ventilation)! The rooms were serviced in a strange way: E.g. used towels were removed but no new ones provided, shower gel was not replenished etc.
Our room and the entire hotel appear due for a refurbishment.
Breakfast: In a 4 star hotel I expect friendly waiters (we had snotty ones), espresso coffee (not available although ubiquitary in Morocco), and a more attractive choice from the buffet.
Next time in town I would choose a different hotel.

You can hardly mention the Eagles or open up a local sports
section these days without the name Jon Gruden popping up somewhere. The
reverend Bill Cowher would instantly climb to the top of any head coaching wish
list if he could ever quit being so indecisive about his willingness to get
back on the sidelines. Heck, Lovie Smith is a popular choice, and his teams
only made the playoffs three out of nine years – and he doesn't even have a
Yet for whatever reason, Brian Billick enters the
conversation, and many fans act like he's not even in the same league as these
other coaches. We are talking about a Super Bowl-winning head coach here. Why
so much mystique surrounding Gruden and Cowher, but so little enthusiasm for
Are they not all members of the same club, especially
considering their three championships came just six years apart? The answer
obviously is yes, and the circumstances under which Billick won his are
arguably the most impressive.
For starters, he got it done in his second season as a head
coach. It took Cowher 14 years to win the big one, and Gruden was already on to
his second team – a ready-made contender he inherited from Tony Dungy by the
way. Billick also did something that is almost unthinkable in this era, winning
not only without a franchise quarterback, but without so much as competent quarterback
play at all as long as we're being blunt thanks in large part to their
legendary defense.
Though that probably works as the biggest indictment of
Billick as well.
He arrived in Baltimore with a reputation for offense having
previously served as the offensive coordinator in Minnesota. The Vikings had
just set a then-NFL record for points scored in a season with a 35-year-old
Randall Cunningham under center.
That success did not follow Billick to the Ravens, at least
in part because he didn't have a pair of Hall-of-Fame-caliber wide receivers in
Cris Carter and Randy Moss. The biggest reason however was the franchise's
failure to develop a quarterback, jumping from Tony Banks to Dilfer, then
signing Elvis Grbac the same offseason they won the Super Bowl, followed one
year later by Chris Redman, before finally wasting a first-round pick on Kyle
Boller next April.
Not surprisingly, Billick couldn't continue winning hardware
with slop at the most important position on the field. The one year the Ravens
finally did land a quality passer that managed to stay healthy – Steve McNair
in 2006 – they went 13-3 and earned a first-round bye in the tournament.
The obvious drawback is Billick has demonstrated little
ability to develop a quarterback at the pro level – though Gruden's QB at Tampa
Bay was Brad Johnson, who got his start with Minnesota. Anybody can see how
that might be worrisome to anybody hopeful the Eagles can groom Nick Foles to
lead the franchise for the foreseeable future.
But what have Gruden or Cowher done that is so much better?
Is it because of their personalities? In Gruden's case, is it his ties to the
Eagles in the past? What is it exactly that sets them apart? Because in terms of rings
on fingers, neither of them has one-upped Billick yet.
There's something to be said for bringing in one of the
bright young minds from around the league, but as far as retreads go, Billick
is every bit as qualified as those other broadcasters. Somehow if he were to get hired as the next head coach of the Eagles however, I get the feeling the general public would not be nearly as satisfied.

She was fired and charged for a relationship with a 17-year-old. A girl still has to make a living…
Mary Beth Haglin, a 24-year-old substitute teacher in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been charged with sexual exploitation for a wrongful relationship with 17-year-old student.
Haglin's wrongful relationship with the student first reportedly started in October, 2015. However, administrators heard about the affair in February but took no action.
A superintendent named Brad Buck conducted a second probe into Hagelin's behaviour, and promptly fired her. Despite being being deemed a threat to students, Haglin was still able to access a jobs board for substitute teachers. She took up employment with two elementary schools and taught until the end of semester.
Haglin was arrested on July 22 after an anonymous tipster reported the relationship to police. Haglin claims her former employer let her teach for months after she was let go, and was not prevented from applying for other teaching jobs.
The former teacher was ordered to stay away from the boy until the trial on November 14th, but she was recently caught speaking to him at a local Gentleman's Club. Which raises an interesting question. What were the two of them doing at a strip club?
It is no surprise that a young boy would occasionally venture into an establishment such as the one in question. The surprise came when an organization called CrimeWatch discovered Ms. Haglin working there as a "dancer."
CrimeWatch reports:
We caught her speaking to the boy for 30 minutes at the strip club. When confronted, she was clearly panicked and attempted to play down the meeting.
She said: "There's a court order that says that I can't have any contact with him. So regardless of how I felt, I wouldn't want to see him."
Credit: CrimeWatchDaily
They then asked how she felt about the boy.
She said: "You have to remember, when (the relationship) was all happening, I didn't see him as a student. I saw it as a real relationship. When I was, essentially, dating a student."

Puppy: Marty
Friends: 1
Member Since: October 30, 2008Add to Friends
Marty is a rare offshoot of the Greyhound family known as the "Lounge Hound". He will take any surface, no matter how uncomfortable it looks, and turn it into a nap spot. Beds? Of course. Couches? Of course. Hardwood floors? Duh. Chairs which are too small for me? He'll dangle that head over the edge to make it work. On occasion Marty will even ignore food, going to the bathroom, and petting in an effort to perfect his napping technique. Finally, a warning to all who meet him, if you see the eyes closed don't move or he will become quite upset with you.View Profile
