First: I admit chess is a smart game. It is. There is no question that chess with its luckless gameplay, and pieces with variable types of movement has a way of revealing genius, or the lack thereof in its players. But so what?
I don't solve math puzzles for fun and when it comes down to it, that is all chess is: a math puzzle whose equation changes from turn to turn. I will always remember my disappointment as a child when I discovered that chess was not the cool game of battlefield maneuvering I thought it was. Bishops? You've sent your bishops into battle? And what kind of foppish knights hop and scoot? The notion of the all-powerful warrior-queen zooming around killing everyone is rather silly too. The reason Boudicca stands out as an historical figure, is that queens like her were so fucking rare. And let's not even discuss the ridiculousness of the rook. But why does chess have to be this way?
While chess is certainly an ancient game originating with either the Indians or Arabs (depends on who you ask), the current way it is played is – in the historical sense - rather new. Chess in its most ancient form used playing pieces that represented actual military units and it was played with dice. Royalty used it as a way to both pass the time and to train in tactical concepts. Rooks were chariots, and dice rolls determined the outcome of two units clashing. There is another thing the ancients got right as well: they knew how to have fun*. So let's look at the score:
|Ancient Kick-Ass Chess
|New Crap Chess
Variable Die Rolls
No Luck
Real Military Units
Fucking Bishops
Sweet, Representative Miniatures
Abstract Playing Pieces that Might Display a Face or Horse Head if You're Lucky
Dripping with Theme
Tacked-On Theme Easily Replaced with Random Concepts Such as Car Salesmen VS Circus Roughnecks
See where I am going with this? The Ameritrash – Euro debate that we see as new has been raging on throughout the ages, and chess is its first victim. What was once a sweet wargame is now a boring mathematical puzzle that boils down to who can figure out the most optimal moves to win. Of course New Chess isn't purely Euro – after all it is still a game that features confrontation, and everyone knows real Euro players drop loads in their shorts at the thought of interacting with the players they are competing against, unless that competition comes in the form of something inane like bidding on art, energy commodities, or who can prepare the fastest root beer float (just watch, Z-Man Games will probably release a game called Soda Jerk in the near future – screw you Hanno).
So what is a gamer to do with chess? I say throw it out since it has been neutered by time. In its current form it is really a game designed for people who aren't into games. Euro gamers want to lay tiles and trade goods, and Ameritrashers want to slaughter each other or build empires. Leave chess to the bored nuclear engineers looking to pass a few hours.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes the first novel in his Natchez Burning trilogy—which also includes The Bone Tree and the upcoming Mississippi Blood—an epic trilogy that interweaves crimes, lies, and secrets past and present in a mesmerizing thriller featuring Southern lawyer and former prosecutor Penn Cage.
Raised in the southern splendor of Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows of duty from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now the beloved family doctor has been accused of murdering the African American nurse with whom he worked in the dark days of the 1960s. Once a crusading prosecutor, Penn is determined to save his father, but Tom, stubbornly invoking doctor-patient privilege, refuses even to speak in his own defense.
Penn's quest for the truth sends him deep into his father's past, where a sexually charged secret lies. More chilling, this long-buried sin is only one thread in a conspiracy of greed and murder involving the vicious Double Eagles, an offshoot of the KKK controlled by some of the most powerful men in the state. Aided by a dedicated reporter privy to Natchez's oldest secrets and by his fiancée, Caitlin Masters, Penn uncovers a trail of corruption and brutality that places his family squarely in the Double Eagles' crosshairs.
With every step costing blood and faith, Penn is forced to confront the most wrenching dilemma of his life: Does a man of honor choose his father or the truth?

"A whopping tale, filled with enough cliff-hanging crises for an old summer-long movie-serial. Yet there are still enough unresolved matters at the end of Natchez Burning for two already-promised sequels." - Wall Street Journal
"Every single page of Natchez Burning is a cliffhanger that will keep you devouring just one more chapter before you put it down." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of The Storyteller
"Natchez Burning is just flat-out terrific . . . its themes about race, violence, tradition, and the eternal smoldering anger of the South [bring] to mind Thomas Wolfe and William Faulkner . . . Greg Iles is back and truly better than ever." - Scott Turow, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Natchez Burning is extraordinarily entertaining and fiendishly suspenseful. I defy you to start it and find a way to put it down . . . This is an amazing work of popular fiction." - Stephen King
"A searing tale of racial hatreds and redemption in the modern South, courtesy of Southern storyteller extraordinaire Iles. . . . A memorable, harrowing tale." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An absorbing and electrifying tale that thriller fans will be sure to devour." - Library Journal (starred review)
"Much more than a thriller, Iles's deftly plotted fourth Penn Cage novel doesn't flag for a moment . . . This superlative novel's main strength comes from the lead's struggle to balance family and honor." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"It's been half a decade since Iles' last Penn Cage novel, but, oh boy, was it worth the wait! . . . This beautifully written novel represents some of the author's finest work, with sharper characterizations and a story of especially deep emotional resonance, and we eagerly await volume two." - Booklist (starred review)
"Natchez Burning excels as a contemporary thriller . . . utterly—and chillingly—believable. Epic." - Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS)
"Natchez Burning obliterates the artificial distinction between genre and literary fiction with passion, grace and considerable style. This is Greg Iles at his formidable best. It's good to have him back." - Washington Post
"The thriller of the year, of the decade even, is Natchez Burning... The first of a projected trilogy, Natchez Burning is Penn Cage's fourth outing. But you don't need to read its predecessors to be wholly consumed by this wonderful book. Buy, read, and marvel." - The Times (London)

We all have our go-to products that we use on a daily basis but once in a while it's nice to mix up the routine and try out some new ones. Tell me what some of your favorites are! You never know when you might find something that works even better than what you are already using. I love trying out new products, there are so many out there! With that I decided I would share some of mine because chances are they will be different from what you are using. I also change up my routine as the seasons change and man am I ready for a change in season! #goawaywinter
With the cold weather our clothes (especially the silky materials) tend to stick to us thanks to a wonderful thing called static. Static Guard will be your new best friend. It comes in this travel size bottle that fits in your purse and no one will know. It gets rid of the static immediately. It has saved me countless times when my dress was stuck to my ass 🙁
This little deodorant looking block is amazing. It helps keep the blisters from forming on your feet, heels, and backs of ankles. I use it every time I wear heels and I don't get blisters anymore 🙂
I have used Aveeno products for a long time. It's just a great go-to product for skincare. It's in-expensive and all natural, so it's really great for those of us with sensitive skin (like me!) Anytime I have had a breakout or a reaction from a new product, I always grab this cleanser. It does the trick every time and clears up my skin in a couple days. It also comes in a cream cleanser if you don't like the foam.
I received a sample of Tocca Hand cream in my Birchbox and I am now obsessed with this line. The cream is so nice and light but still moisturizing. It has a great smell but not crazy strong like some other hand creams. The line also carries perfumes and candles. I'll be getting some of those soon 😉
Lancome has always been an incredible skincare/makeup line. You have probably tried something from this line at one point. The products are just GOOD. The cream is a bit pricey but worth it. I use it every night 🙂
Ever been to Bath & Body Works and try out the lip glosses there? The C.O. Bigelow lip shines are so great. They have a ton of minty flavors. It gives your lips a nice shiny gloss and makes your breath smell better too 😉 I always stock up on these when they are on sale, which they are now buy 2, get 1 free!

10,000 mAh chargers are the sweet spot. They pack plenty of power into a package that you can still slip into your pocket instead being something so big you need to carry a messenger bag. There are two great options on the market right now, and which one you should buy depends on your phone.
We have to start with this question: Does your phone has Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support? You can look up if your device supports that standard here on Qualcomm's site. Quick Charge 2.0 means that current-gen phones like the HTC One m8, the LG G4 ,and the Samsung Galaxy Edge/Note all charge up to 75% faster when they're plugged into a Quick Charge 2.0 compatible charger.
If your phone supports QC2.0, you'll be best served by purchasing the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 Charger. The Aukey pumps out an impressive maximum of 3.2 amps out of its single output. The Aukey Quick Charge is currently 40% off, so now is an opportune time to pick one up. at the very low $29.99 price point.
If you checked the list above from Qualcomm, and your phone doesn't support QC2.0, then you have can save a couple of bucks to pick up the Anker Ultra Compact 10,000mAh Charger. In addition to being $7 cheaper, it's slightly smaller and a few ounces lighter. It also has a 2nd charging port for another device or for a friend. While it doesn't support QC2.0, it does detect how much power your phone can handle for charging: up to 3 amps for a single device, or 3 amps total if you're charging two devices. Pumping out 3 amps isn't bad at all in comparison to the Aukey's 3.2 amps. It's enough that you won't absolutely have to upgrade a year from now.
That being said, unless you're hard-up for that $7 savings I think that the smart decision would be to purchase the Aukey device that supports Quick Charge 2.0. Being able to push out almost 10% more power makes a big difference when you're on the go and you're nearly out of battery, and chances are that your next mobile device will support the higher amperage charging.
As a note, all of these portable chargers market themselves via total amperage, which is a tad disingenuous. You have to make sure you're aware of how many outputs a device has, and what voltage+amperage is supported for each output. The amperages listed above are all over 5v, and some tablets require 12v. Make sure you check what the power requirements are for your device, and don't blow up your electronics by assuming that all chargers are alike!

Personal loan
Although your credit score and other information gathered on your loan application will allow the lender to determine if you qualify for a personal loan, anyone can be a potential personal loan borrower.
"There are many places to get a personal loan, everywhere from an established banking foundation to the hard money lender who you might run into down at the local watering hole," says Ryan Boggs, a wealth manager at FourStar Wealth Advisors LLC, in Chicago. "That said, the best and most advisable are financial organizations that specialize in personal loans."
Aside from traditional banks and credit unions, that "specialist" group includes SoFi, Lending Tree, LightStream, Lending Club, Credible, and Marcus (from Goldman Sachs), Boggs notes.
Other good options to get a personal loan include Prosper, BestEgg, LendingPoint, UpStart and Laurel Road and Upgrade. "Discover and Wells Fargo are two of the more popular banks for personal loans right now," says J.R. Duren, a personal finance analyst at HighYa.com.
Independent, online lenders can be especially helpful for borrowers for whom credit scores do not reflect repayment capabilities.
"With tightened lending requirements of many banks and credit unions, it can be hard for some consumers to obtain traditional loans," notes Joe Toms, president of FreedomPlus, a personal loan provider based in San Francisco, Calif. "These lenders use different criteria than a traditional bank or credit union to evaluate how likely a person is to repay a loan."
Some lenders will allow the consumer to provide information and context about their credit scores and profiles, savings and other factors that indicate they are financially responsible.
Evaluating Personal Loan Providers
It's vital to find a personal loan lender that is right for you and your situation. To determine the right lender for you, use the following checklist.
1. Is the Lender Is Honest with You?
A personal loan lender should take the time to help figure out if a personal loan is a good move for you. "Sometimes, a personal loan is not the answer," Toms says. "A good lender will help determine that and will be able to make a recommendation in the best interest of the borrower."
For instance, if the borrower is struggling to make minimum payments on current debt, a personal loan may not be the best solution. A good lender will recognize that and may suggest the consumer look into other options, such as debt negotiation or debt consolidation.
2. Does the Lender Prioritize Communications?
"Some lenders only provide the online capability, with no human interaction," Toms states. "Most potential borrowers benefit by working with a lender that has loan consultants who will work with them to determine the best terms and rates, and discuss all options fully."
3. Are Fees and Interest Rates Fair?
Personal loans typically charge an origination fee of 1% to 5% of the loan amount. Average rates on personal loans can vary widely, from just over 4% annually (for people with exceptional credit) to 25% for people with poor credit.
4. Are Discounts Available?
"Some personal loan providers may offer a discounted rate if there is a co-borrower with sufficient income, or if the applicant has a certain level of retirement savings," Toms notes.
Where to Start Your Personal Loan Search
Perhaps the best place to start your personal loan campaign is with your existing bank or credit union, given the fact that you already have a relationship with that financial institution.
"Use that relationship to better qualify for a discounted interest rate," says Ryan Skidmore, a loan specialist at Lift Credit, an online loan specialist firm. "There are also many online lenders who offer personal and installment loans. Make sure to do your research if you choose to go with an online lending company by looking at reviews and background information."
No matter where you go for a personal loan, completing a personal loan application is typically done online.
"After you submit your loan application, your credit score, annual income, and debt-to-income ratio will be reviewed," says Skidmore. "Lenders may ask additional questions about your current employer and ask how long you've worked for them. The lender will then notify and contact you about whether your loan application is approved or not."
Be Prepared Before Applying for a Personal Loan
The best strategies to get approved for a personal loan include the following items:
- A solid and established income/salary. W-2 salaries are considered more stable than 1099s.
- Good credit (sometimes you can attain the loan with fair credit, but things like bankruptcy, too high a debt-to-income ratio, or too many late payments can reduce loan availability or increase interest rates because lenders think of you as riskier).
- Two years of filed tax returns are helpful to get the biggest loan at the best/lowest rate (i.e. best terms).
"If you're self-employed or a 1099 (contractor), it is advisable to apply for the loan after you have two sequential paychecks that might also have a bonus in them to show that for the month, your annual income is large, as well as good to have seasoned monies in a checking account," says Boggs, referring to monies that have been in the account for at least 60 to 90 days.
The credit issue is huge when you're preparing to search for a personal loan. Don't proceed on a personal loan search without checking your credit first, as a low credit score could immediately disqualify you for a personal loan. Make sure you check your credit reports and credit scores before applying.
"The big roadblock you're going to face isn't so much something that's going to disqualify as it is going to cost you—credit history," says Duren. "Even if you're approved for the loan, If you've got payments of more than 30 days late in the past year, there's a good chance the lender is going to give you their highest rate or something close to their highest rate."
The Takeaway on Personal Loans
Finding a good personal loan provider isn't all that difficult, if you're prepared, do your due diligence, and expand your search to include both traditional financial institutions and digital loan providers.

Gets or sets whether images are highlighted when links are hot-tracked.
public virtual bool AllowLinkLighting { get; set; }
Overridable Public Property AllowLinkLighting As Boolean
If the AllowLinkLighting property's value is true, then the intensity of the link image's color is decreased when in the normal state. When links are highlighted, color intensity is increased to the standard value. This gives the effect of link highlighting. See the image below for an example.
If the AllowLinkLighting property is set to false, original images are displayed when links are in normal and hot-tracked states. The image below displays the same bar with a disabled link.
Note: if you use large button items, you can specify custom images for an item's hot-tracked state. Use the BarLargeButtonItem.LargeImageIndexHot or BarLargeButtonItem.LargeGlyphHot property for this purpose.

The Student Refugee Program Open House on November 18 gave students at the University of Alberta the opportunity to meet Akol, the student they helped sponsor this year. Among the students that came to meet Akol were the Vice President Operations & Finance and the Vice President Academic of the Students' Union.
We received a great deal of support from students, and for that we are thankful. Without the help of students at the UofA, we would not be able to sustain this program.
The Gateway's Simon Yakulic profiled Akol and the Student Refugee Program here.
Quir is the latest student refugee to come to the U of A as part of the program. After arriving in Canada this past August, the 20-year-old is now studying for a Bachelor of Science degree.
"It is great that I've finally made it to Canada. It is a long process, and a long dream that you wait for a very long time," Quir said. "It finally comes out of hard work and determination."
While Quir joked that he sometimes feels like he's going to freeze when he walks to class from International House, he's dealt with tougher circumstances. When he was young, southern Sudan was in a state of chaos.
"Our village was attacked when I was about two-and-a-half years old. So I fled with my parents — and I didn't know what was happening, but I could see dead people all around, houses were burning beyond recognition. So we fled," Quir said.
Attached are some pictures from the event. Check out our Facebook Page for more pictures.
Check out our latest newsletter: http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=80b14b6edcfda79ca22eaa8b0&id=dcb5b0d7fd. To sign up to recieve weekly newsletters fill out the form on the right hand side of our website (www.ualberta.ca/~wusc).
Our next Local Committee Meeting will be Wednesday, November 3 at 6pm in Humanities 115.
This is an important meeting – we'll be voting on changes to our constitution, and welcoming our new SRP coordinator Hussein, as well as discussing the upcoming SRP Open House!
Halloween night WUSC joined forces with Make Poverty History and Engineers Without Borders for Reverse Trick or Treat, distributing Fair Trade chocolate door-to-door! A big thanks to everyone that went and represented WUSC at this event. Another big thanks to Sheetal and Akol for presenting at the Red Cross' Even Wars Have Limits speaker night on Thursday last week!

Customer Notification – Serengeti Project
Dear Client,
IMPORTANT ADVISORY: TECHNOLOGY MIGRATION 3.6GHz METRONET.
Welcome to the first in a series of ongoing communiques regarding the technology migration of 3.6GHz wireless connectivity services we currently provide to you.
The 3.6GHz wireless network has been providing reliable, convenient and cost-effective connectivity solutions to customers across South Africa for many years. Over the last 9 months we have been gradually migrating these links to alternative Broadlink Metronet wireless solutions. The time has come to accelerate this migration process and put an end to the current 3.6Ghz service
offering and fully embrace the modern technologies we now have available.
As we enter this final phase of our project, we will work closely with you to finalise the migration plan which best suits your commercial and operational requirements whilst also minimising any disruption caused.
The clear majority of existing 3.6Ghz links will be replaced with an alternative, superior Metronet service where we have added new coverage and availability as part of our network expansion and upgrade. In circumstances where a Metronet service cannot be provided, a suitable alternative will be provided.
To manage this process effectively a service delivery manager (SDM) will be assigned to you to assist with the migration plan. This individual will work closely with your planning and product teams as required.
We will make you aware of any commercial offers that are associated with this technology upgrade in due course and your account manager or SDM will discuss these with you at the appropriate time.
Your account manager will be in contact with you shortly; however, should you have any queries on this initiative feel free to contact us on the following numbers:
Customers services on +27 87 727 0911 (24 hours).
Head office on +27 87 727 0000.
Yours sincerely,
Owen Rodgers

Peter Max, That Supreme Surrealist of the '60s, Embraces the '80s with a Raft of New Work
Long before Calvin Klein became a marketing buzzword, there was Peter Max. He was the artist who elevated posters to art, who put his brightly colored cosmic designs on everything from sneakers to cookbooks to clocks. With his cosmic jumpers, stars, sages and seekers, he created a style that captivated an entire generation. Max was synonymous with the '60s. As he says, "Peter Max was a new consciousness."
By 1971 Peter Max was also big business. With his work displayed on more than $1.5 billion worth of retail merchandise, Max wasn't just a hippie artist. He was a corporation, which was more than he bargained for. How did Max handle it? "It's hard to explain," he says, "but I simply quit."
After 15 years of semireclusive retreat, Max, now 48, is showing himself to be no less hip than he was in the '60s. Last month the Circle Gallery in Los Angeles sold $500,000 worth of Max's art in two days. With new designs coming out on stationery, watches and tapestries, Max is exercising his marketing muscle anew. He's even talking about making his mark on Steuben glass and Tiffany china. "I want to do it all, but not on such a mass commercial level as I did then," he says. "I want to keep it nice, scarce and artsy."
The Peter Max most people remember, the artist with the Midas touch who won corporate favor by turning ordinary items into flower-powered trinkets, happened quite by accident. In 1966 Max printed a poster for a friend featuring a kaleidoscope of psychedelic characters; 18 months later nearly 3 million of his posters had been sold. "I got involved in applying my work on what I used to call 'stuff,' " he says. "It wasn't for commercial reasons. I just saw stuff and I thought that it needed things."
Before long, however, Max found he was too successful for his own good. "My life revolved around corporations, itineraries and nonartistic responsibilities," he says. "I just wasn't painting anymore." Indeed Max lived more like a rock star than a painter. He tooled around New York in a decal-covered Rolls-Royce, partied with the Beatles and claimed a yearly income of nearly $2 million. "I was a culture hero," Max says. "Life was crazy."
As the Age of Aquarius advanced, Max felt the need to regroup. The art was still selling, but the artistry had begun to wane. So Max settled down to work in his 18-room Manhattan duplex. "I decided I was going to do nothing but paint," he says. That meant saying no to the lucrative offers that streamed into his studio, like the one from the Texas oilman who asked Max to paint the bottom of his swimming pool, and the one from the soft drink company that wanted him to create posters.
Though less a mystery than the whereabouts of D.B. Cooper, Max's retreat was still enough to inspire rumors. Peter heard that he was a casualty of one too many psychedelic drug trips. He was also purported to be involved in an extended spiritual quest in Tibet. But the best story, which Max swears is true, had him landing his Jet Ski on the beach in Barbados next to a suntanned beauty, who looked up and exclaimed, "Peter Max! So that's where you've been."
Any decent sleuth could have found Max dabbling on the periphery of the art world. In 1974 he accepted a commission to paint a 10-cent stamp, and two years later completed the mural that greets immigrants at 235 Mexican and Canadian border stations. Says Max, "I thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if there was a cheerful picture that would say, 'Welcome to this incredible country'?" In 1976 Max did the first of his Statue of Liberty paintings, now a July 4 tradition. This year he dashed off 11 portraits of Lady Liberty as part of the centennial ceremonies.
"America's most patriotic artist," as Max was dubbed by the Washington Post, was born in Berlin and raised in Shanghai. The only child of an import-exporter and a housewife, Peter claims he first displayed artistic aptitude when he experimented with crayons on his mother's steamer trunks at age 2. "She didn't spank me, she just made a big fuss," Max reports. "That was the greatest encouragement. I thought it was all about my work." After Mao Tse-tung rose to power, Max's family moved to South Africa, Israel, Paris and finally New York. Filled with "the colors of the world" at 16, Max began five years of study at the Art Students League, where he was schooled in realism, a genre he discarded after graduation because he lacked patience. "A nice realistic piece can take as long as a week or two," he explains. "I wanted to do a piece in five or six hours."
Except for the bright colors, Max's current work shows a departure from the past. Gone are the psychedelic landscapes and mystical islands, replaced by more impressionistic, adult images. Critics compare the new Maxes, with their vivid colors and free-form figures, to the Fauvist movement. "The times change," Max says. "You grow up." Similarly, the artist's personal credits are standard post-flower child—a divorce in 1976 after 10 years of marriage and two children with names that could only come from the '60s: son Adam Cosmo, 22, and daughter Libra Astro, 19. Max recently ended a relationship with model-singer Rosie Vela, 31, whose portrait graces several canvases in his studio. "She was the most beautiful woman I've seen," says a blue Max.
Anything but the tortured artist, Max goes to the easel first thing every morning, turning out paintings with the speed of a short-order cook. "Even before my shower I do something, anything, just to know that I've already painted," he says. "There's nothing else in life that attracts me as much. It's like being in love." Exhibitions in 140 museums worldwide (the Museum of Modern Art has six Maxes in its permanent collection) have caused paintings that sold for less than $1,000 in 1966 to soar into the $30,000 range. "Whatever the cost, I'm underpriced," he says, smiling.
Max admits that it would be easy to market himself as a '60s survivor, but not especially gratifying. Spotting a woman wearing one of his old scarves in New York's Hard Rock Cafe one afternoon, the artist can't help but smile. "That's weird to see, after all these years," he says. "It's nice." But unlike '60s rockers who rehash their greatest hits, Max is back with all new material. "I occupy my own space in art," he says. "I've achieved at least as much as Picasso, Matisse and Braque when they were my age." Hyperbole notwithstanding, there's no denying that Max is, in his words, "still a creative entity in the '80s." Just listen to the man who ferries visitors to and from Max's studio. "Up and down, all day long," grumbles the elevator man, wiping sweat from his forehead. "Is this guy getting popular again or what?"

A DurkeeSox systems practical service life depends on the application environment, AC system, etc factors. Generally, Service life of NanoSox -N exceed 20 years, NanoSox -L 15 years, FiberSox 10 years. Our warranty for NanoSox -N is 15 years, NanoSox -L10 years,FiberSox 8 years.
Nanosox system will adopt different fabric permeability, parts, fittings and accessories, which distinguish from to each other. So usually, we're not able to quote per meter no matter for international or domestic market, but quote per whole system with a total price. According to our experience, in large space places, it demands less quantity of Nanosox system and will have similarly or even cheaper cost comparing to traditional ducts. However, in low space, DurkeeSox system will cost more. Additionally, Nanosox system has flexible designs that can generate different costs. And proper design can be made upon customer's requirements.
The fireproof, anti-mildew, antibiosis and anti-static abilities of the DurkeeSox fabric ducts are added into the fabric particle before spinning, not adding after fabric spinning, that's way there are no influence after wash. Also, the abilities of fireproof, antibiosis and etc are washable and tested by national association of testing authorities. Especially the durability of fire proof ability is up to 50 times wash and tested by the national association of testing authorities.
As an end air dispersion system in HVAC, DurkeeSox has passed all kinds of widely recognized international certificates and fire testings including UL AJIJ and AC167 certificates, testing certificate under EN13501-2002 class B1-s1,d0, and China official fire certificate under GB-8624-2006-Class B-s1,d0,t0 and Class A. DurkeeSox system meets or surpasses code regulations on fire safety in all countries and regions.
A DurkeeSox system is made of flexible material, it will droop when the system is off. To gain a better visual effect when the system does not run, a double row suspension system can be used to maintain the round shape on the bottom. For better result, the IRR (Internal Retention Ring) system can be used to better maintain the round shape.
A DurkeeSox system's air dispersion principle applies induction type laminar flow air dispersion, when air flow is ejected out of the duct openings at a high velocity, compared with ordinary AC system, heat exchange with ambient air in the height is rare, the airflow will not dispersed till the air flow reaches destination area, thus little difference between cold air and hot air dispersion. In a practical application, AHU if matched with cold & hot air dispersion mode could achieve a better effect.
A DurkeeSox cleaning & maintenance period is variable and depends on the air dispersion mode, application environmental cleanliness requirement, AHU's filter grade, etc factors. Normally recommended maintenance period is every 3 months for refrigeration and food processing applications with clean requirement; for commercial, public places and large areas, etc normally a 1 to 3 year period. In a serious pollution environment, the color of fabric may become darker after washing.
DurkeeSox system friction factor is less than 0.024, similar to metal duct, but in practical applications, friction resistance of DurkeeSox system is much less than conventional ducts, due to mostly in round shape, lower average air velocity especially at the middle and end part. For simple straight duct, the system resistance is less than static pressure regain, so the friction resistance could be ignored. For complicated ductwork, the system resistance is only 1/3-1/5 of traditional duct. Thus pressure of traditional air duct is enough for DurkeeSox system. DurkeeSox system could design fabric permeability and orifices to guarantee the designed air supplying volume without any additional requirements on AHU.
A DurkeeSox system does not generate noise and transmit resonance during operating. Pleasers refer to DurkeeSox detailed technical manual. Noise absorption effect depends on different equipments and environment, it could not replace the absorber of AHUs system, although part of noise could be absorbed.

Isolation Shepherd - by Iain R. Thomson
In August 1956, a young shepherd, his wife, two-year-old daughter and ten-day-old son sat huddled in a small boat on Loch Monar in Ross-shire as a storm raged around them. They were bound for a tiny, remote cottage at the western end of the loch which was to be their home for the next four years. "Isolation Shepherd" is the moving story of those years. More than simply a sensitive and richly detailed account of the shepherd's life through the season, Iain Thomson's book also vividly captures the splendour of one of Scotland's most awesome landscapes, and depicts the numerous incidents that shaped the family's life there before the area was flooded as part of a huge hydro-electric project.
