Matt Jaworowski, Media General National Desk – (MEDIA GENERAL) – Not that most of us need an excuse to crack a cold one, but Thursday is National American Beer Day, and you'd be doing your country a disservice if you don't sip some domestic suds.
The modern American beer industry is inching toward its bicentennial – Yuengling, the widely accepted longest-running American brewery, was founded in 1829 – and continues to grow and adapt. Through the nation's founding, to prohibition, the growth of the macro brews to the craft beer boom, the American beer industry is as lively as ever.
Here is a by the numbers look at the American beer industry:
206,700,000 -- According to the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the U.S. beer industry sold 206.7 million barrels of beer in 2015 – which is the equivalent of 2.8 billion cases (24 pack) of 12-ounce cans.
27.5 – According to beer shipment data, coupled with U.S. census statistics, U.S. consumers 21 years and older consumed 27.5 gallons of beer and cider per person in 2015.
$100 billion – The Beer Institute annual report shows just how lucrative the industry can be. In 2014, the industry reportedly sold more than $100 billion in beer and malt-based beverages to U.S. consumers.
4,824 – The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau reports there were 4,824 reporting breweries in the United States in 2015 – up more than 600 from 2014. In 1983, the Brewers Almanac reported there were 49 permitted breweries. There are now more than 6,000 permitted breweries as of 2015.
788 – No state has more permitted breweries than California – 788. Following California, the top five are Washington (383), Colorado (352), New York (329) and Michigan (316). North Dakota has the least amount of permitted breweries (11).
42 – According to a 2015 Gallup poll (of legal drinkers), alcohol consumers prefer beer (42 percent) to wine (34 percent) and spirits (21 percent).

When using antibiotics to treat
chronic (long-term) sinusitis, it may be helpful to remember that:
Antibiotics may be needed when
symptoms of sinusitis do not respond to home treatment, symptoms are severe, or
complications (such as pus forming in sinus cavities) develop.
Other antibiotics may be prescribed to treat bacterial

Antibiotic treatment of sinusitis is
generally safe and very effective. Most people recover completely when they are
treated with antibiotics.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:

It is important to take all of the medicine your doctor prescribes. Keep taking it even after you begin to feel better.
This is especially important when treating sinusitis because the antibiotics do not easily penetrate the mucus inside
the sinuses.
Your doctor will try to select an antibiotic that is most
likely to kill the bacteria causing your sinusitis. If the antibiotic fails to
cure your sinusitis, another may be tried. If your condition does not improve,
further testing may be needed to find which antibiotic will work best for
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

for Sunday, October 25, 2015
God wants to gather all of us to Himself. For God we are all His creation and God is determined to share His live with us. So often we forget the love of God. We end of thinking of God as a judge (which He is, for sure) or God as a demanding presence (which He also is) or God as only a Creator who then abandons us (which is totally untrue). This Sunday we are invited to reflect on our own sense of God. Who is God? Who is God in my life? Who is God in my world?
We must also try to understand who God is from His own words, the Scriptures. We have to remember that for us Christians, all of Scripture is one book and must be read as one document - all of the parts commenting on all of the other parts. This is an enormous challenge because most of us love the gentle parts, the redeeming parts, the loving parts of Scripture. We don't want to struggle with the ugly parts, the killing parts, the destructive parts of Scripture.
On the other hand, when we take Scripture as a whole, we begin to have an understanding of God that is not one sided and not fundamentalist. We come to meet a God who has created us and who loves us and who agonizes over our lives.
Jesus is God and shows every aspect of God in His life among us. He Himself told us that many would follow him just for the miracle of bread. We know that many followed Him because of the miracles of healing. Today we have the miracle of Bartimaeus, the blind man, from the Gospel of Mark. Bartimaeus is very direct with Jesus: Master, I want to see.
We also need to ask the Lord to see. We are deceived at times, thinking that we see and understand. Instead we are far too often blind and don't have the sense to ask to see. Today each one of us can ask: Lord, I want to see!
What do I want to see? The presence of God at work in my life. The presence of God in our world. The love that God has for me personally. The love that God has for His Church and for this world that He has created. That is enough!
Have I ever asked to see?
We can echo the Letter to the Hebrews today and recognize that Jesus is our High Priest. He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring - and there I find myself.
Lord, heal my ignorance and my errors. Let me see.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Find answers to some of the questions that are frequently asked about Fairtrade.
Fairtrade advocates for decent working conditions, fair prices for farmers, sustainable practices, environmental protection and the empowerment of farmers and workers in developing countries. As Fairtrade requires businesses to pay a fair price to farmers for their crop (acting as a safety net ensuring that farmers never receive less than the cost it took to produce their crop in a sustainable manner), Fairtrade is leveling the playing field for farmers to ensure they can improve their livelihoods and strengthen their businesses.
Fairtrade Australia New Zealand is an independent non-profit organisation that solely licenses the use of the Fairtrade Mark on products in Australia and New Zealand in accordance with internationally agreed Fairtrade standards. Fairtrade Australia New Zealand is a member organisation of Fairtrade International, which unites Fairtrade organisations across Europe, The Americas, Japan, and India and many more, as well as the producer networks of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Fairtrade Mark is an independent label that indicates to consumers that a product has met internationally-agreed Fairtrade standards. It shows that the product has been certified, and the Fairtrade ingredients in the product have been audited throughout the supply chain. The Fairtrade Mark certifies products, not businesses or brands. Read more
Fairtrade International (formally known as Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International - or 'FLO') is the international body made up of the Fairtrade Foundation and its partner organisations around the world. We're proud to say it's 50 per cent owned by the farmers and workers it works for. Fairtrade International is in charge of developing Fairtrade standards for products, supporting farmers and workers, and operating global certification and auditing systems.
Fairtrade International is based in Bonn, Germany, and is composed of two separate organisations:
1. Fairtrade International eV. is a non-profit multi-stakeholder association. FLO develops and reviews international Fairtrade standards and supports farmers and workers to make the most of market opportunities. Read more at www.fairtrade.net/who-we-are.html
2. FLO-CERT GmbH is a limited company in charge of the inspection and certification of farmers, workers and traders. It operates independently of any other interests, and follows the international ISO standard for certification bodies (ISO 65). Read more at www.flo-cert.net
If a company develops a product that contains Fairtrade ingredients, and wants to have the Fairtrade Mark on the product, the company will sign a licence agreement with Fairtrade Australia New Zealand entitling them to place apply the Fairtrade Mark to the specific products. By signing this agreement, the company becomes a Fairtrade licensee or may be casually referred to as a Fairtrade partner.
You can find information on how to become one here.
Fairtrade standards comprise both minimum social, economic and environmental requirements, which producers must meet to be certified, plus progress requirements that encourage the continuous improvement of develop farmers' organisations or the situation of estate workers. Read more about the standards here: www.fairtrade.net/standards.html
This is either an association of farmers or a company dependent on hired labour that produces one or more commodities for which there are Fairtrade standards and that has been certified to meet those standards. Once certified, they are added to the Fairtrade product register and registered companies can buy from them under Fairtrade terms.
Some Fairtrade certified producer groups are able to sell their entire production under Fairtrade terms, while others sell only a very small percentage and badly need more buyers to offer a Fairtrade deal. It is only by increasing the amount sold as Fairtrade that producer groups are able to receive a steady stream of additional income to improve their lives.
The Fairtrade Minimum Price defines the set price that a buyer of Fairtrade products must pay the producer group. The minimum price paid depends on the commodity, and is set based on a consultative process with Fairtrade farmers, workers, and traders that ensures producers receive a fair price that covers what it costs them to grow their crop through sustainable practices. When the market price rises higher than the set minimum price, the trader is required to purchase the crop at the higher price.
The Fairtrade Premium is an additional investment that is paid on top of the Fairtrade minimum price. Producers can then democratically decide on how it is used to improve the social, environmental and economic conditions in their communities. The Fairtrade Premium is a unique initiative that empowers farmers and workers to improve their conditions and become stronger actors in their supply chains.
The term Fairtrade is used to describe the certification system that ensures farmers are paid a minimum Fairtrade price and Fairtrade Premium for their goods. The Fairtrade system allows consumers to identify goods that have met internationally-agreed Fairtrade Standards; these standards are set to work toward social, environmental and economic sustainability.
The term Fair Trade is used to refer to the Fair Trade movement as a whole and the organisations that loosely follow the principles of Fair Trade.
Products that carry the Fairtrade Mark have been independently audited across the entire supply chain. This ensures that the benefits of Fairtrade are delivered to farmers, and that the nature of these benefits are clearly communicated to consumers. There are, however, some companies making their own 'fair trade' claims without having the independent scrutiny of Fairtrade certification. Ask for the basis of these claims, whether benefits are long term and how the community is empowered. If you want to be sure that farmers and workers are receiving the better deal offered by Fairtrade, always look for the Fairtrade Mark.
The Fairtrade Mark was established specifically to support the most disadvantaged producers in the world, by leveraging trade as a tool to promote sustainable social, environmental and economic development. While we understand that domestic farmers may face some similar issues, ultimately the infrastructure, labour laws, and social security systems of developed countries like New Zealand and Australia negate the need for a labelling organisation such as Fairtrade.
Thousands! We have licensed over 2,500 Fairtrade certified products for sale through retail and catering outlets in New Zealand and Australia.
The Fairtrade standards are set by the Standards Unit at Fairtrade International and the minimum prices and premiums for each product are included in the product-specific standards available on Fairtrade Internationals website. The consultative process for agreeing international Fairtrade standards follows the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Social and Environmental Labelling, where all stakeholders (including producers) participate in the research process before coming to a final decision.
Fairtrade standards exist for the following products, that are also available in Australia and New Zealand:
Food products:
- Bananas
- Chocolate
- Coffee
- Spices
- Sugar
- Tea
- Hot chocolate
Non-food products:
- Beauty products
- Cotton
- Sports Balls
- Gold
See our Buying Fairtrade page. You'll find Fairtrade products in supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, through catering suppliers and wholesales, as well as online.
Whatever the price of the product on the shelf, only the Fairtrade Mark ensures that the producers have received what is agreed as a fairer price, as well as the Fairtrade premium to invest in the future of their communities. The Fairtrade price applies at the point where the producer organisation sells to the next person in the supply chain (usually an exporter or importer). It is not calculated as a proportion of the final retail price, which is negotiated between the product manufacturer and the retailer.
The Fairtrade Australia New Zealand's Business Development team will guide you through the process. For more information read our For Business section of the website.
For producers in Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and the Pacific islands, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. For all other producers, please contact FLO-CERT, via the details are on their website.
Farmers/workers must meet environmental standards as part of certification. Producers are required to work to protect the natural environment and make environmental protection a part of farm management. They are also encouraged to minimise the use of energy, especially from non-renewable sources.
By choosing Fairtrade, shoppers in Australia and New Zealand are ensuring that farmers and workers receive a Fairtrade premium to invest in economic, social and environmental products of their own choice. It means they can implement a range of environmental protection programmes which contribute to the range of solutions needed to address climate change and ultimately benefit us all.
To give two examples, tea workers in India have invested some of their Fairtrade Premium into replacing the traditional wood-burning heating with a solar-panelled system. Coffee farmers in Costa Rica have used the premium to replant trees to prevent soil erosion and have invested in environmentally friendly ovens, fuelled by recycled coffee hulls and the dried shells of macadamia nuts. This means that they no longer need to cut forest trees and so can preserve the rainforest and the oxygen they produce.
By choosing Fairtrade products, you can help farmers and workers preserve their own environment and allow them to have a positive social benefit in their community.
Not necessarily. Fairtrade standards require sustainable farming techniques and require higher prices to be paid for organic products. Moreover, Fairtrade Premiums are often used to train producers in organic and sustainable techniques like composting and using recycled materials, which can help them to convert to organic production in the future.

Fairtrade supports marginalised farmers and workers, enabling them to build a better and more secure life for themselves, their co-workers and their families.
The Fairtrade Mark is the globally recognised label that adorns Fairtrade Certified products.

Herman Miller Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair
Swivel Base, 3-Cushion Backrest, Fabric Upholstery
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
At A Glance:
The Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair is one luxurious lounger. With a lightweight aluminum frame and 2"-thick upholstered cushions the Soft Pad Lounge Chair is designed for rest and relaxation. The 1/2" glides let you safely use this lounge chair on hard floors and carpet while the 5-star base provides support, stability and style. The lounge chair's sleek base contrasts with the fabric upholstery, creating a piece that is as beautiful as it is comfortable. The Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair is available in a variety of beautiful fabrics that look and feel great.
This lounge chair was made just for the home. While it has uses in the office environment, Charles and Ray wanted to get away from the strictly corporate tone of the executive and management chairs and get into something more homey, more relaxing, and more comfortable. The Soft Pad Lounge Chair is just that. Using the same materials as the other chairs in the series, soft fabric and polished aluminum elegantly padded with 2" upholstered cushioning, the lounge chair goes to a different place. Rather than convey seriousness, business, and authority, this chair conveys relaxation, rest, and fellowship.
Also available with leather upholstery.
See the entire Eames Soft Pad Chair collection.
What's To Like:
The Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair is reclined, unlike the other chairs in the series (which can recline, but aren't permanently set in that position). It's also got a much longer back, more cushions, and a generally more stretched out feel. It also has an ottoman, to allow the chair to serve in much the same way as a traditional recliner would. This is a chair you can kick back in, eat in while you watch the game, sleep in when you need a quick nap, read in, watch movies and TV in, etc. Anything you'd want to do in your living room or family space, this beautiful, comfortable chair can do with you. The ottoman that comes with the chair is given the same treatment as the rest of the chairs in the series. It's beautifully upholstered in soft fabric and framed in polished aluminum. The effect is stunning. This is an elegant lounge chair that you can be in-elegant in - a lounge chair with all the history of tradition of Charles and Ray Eames and Herman Miller that can also serve as a place to nap in your pajamas.
What's Not To Like:
In the office, this chair would really only be of use in particularly luxurious, or particularly large, offices. The kind of office where you could nap without being disturbed, for instance. Depending on your business, it could be an interesting addition to the lobby area, where customers or clients might enjoy it. But in general, this is a design that's limited to the home, not the corporate office. Also, its lack of a headrest means that if you're extra tall, you'll have no head support for napping.
The Bottom Line:
Wherever you use the Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair, it's going to keep you comfortable and in style. And that describes the perfect lounge chair. It also meshes well with most design schemes; the colors are muted and the materials fit well in nearly any environment. But this chair could also work in your bedroom, or in your kids' room or guest room; anywhere where someone might want to take a break from their day and simply relax, read, or think. Always comfortable and always beautiful, it's a chair anyone can enjoy.

Design Story
This is a chair meant clearly for the home. It's the biggest in the collection, with the most padding and the longest back. It's also set in a permanent recline, making it great for leisure activities like reading, watching TV or movies, or just taking a quick nap. This isn't a chair that really has much of a home in the office, and it's clearly meant for the living room. The matching ottoman (sold separately) is handsome and comfy as well, and it's as close to a recliner as you can get while still remaining fine furniture.
Read the entire design story behind the Eames Soft Pad Group.
About the Designer
The Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair is the only piece of furniture in the series that was clearly meant for home use. It's a lounge chair, and so of course it's not quite right for the office (or at least most types of offices). It comes with an ottoman, which isn't something you'll see very much of in an office environment. It also comes already tilted back and ready for relaxation, with a super-long back chock full of comfy, attractively upholstered padding, and with a lovely little ottoman where the user can put their feet up and do pretty much whatever they want at the moment. This is a chair meant for watching the game and eating some food, for reading and relaxing, for having quiet moments both at the beginning and at the end of the day. It's a chair for quick little naps and long naps, for any and all leisure activities, a chair to watch movies and TV in. It's a lounge chair, one of the latest in a long line of amazing lounge furniture created by Charles and Ray Eames and sold by Herman Miller and Smart Furniture. The lounge chair is a one of a kind piece of furniture. It's slim but it's very solid and cushy. It's long but it isn't a recliner really. It comes with an ottoman, but it's comfortable enough and simple enough that it almost seems like an affectation (we said almost). This is a chair that will last for a very long time in your home, because it's so comfortable, it's so attractive, it's so durable, and because it's a product from the Office Charles and Ray Eames, and that makes it of real historical significance. This is a great lounge chair that fits into nearly any environment; why shouldn't that environment be your own home, your own living room or den?
In the home, this is a chair that clearly belongs in the rooms where leisure happens. That means the family room, the living room or den. Whatever name the room goes by, the Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair and Ottoman belongs there. It facilitates relaxation and comfort, makes a real but subtle statement within a room, and makes itself readily available for all types of leisure activity. It's museum quality, but it's not a museum piece; lounge chairs aren't really meant for gentle use, and this one is no exception. Of course, you can always get creative and find new places to put this chair. It's good for certain types of bedrooms, and of course it's great for well covered outdoor areas, like screened in porches. You can lie back and just watch the unfolding of nature before you.
This isn't a chair meant for the office, and there aren't really any great places for it to go in that arena. Perhaps in certain types of waiting rooms and large offices it could work, but in general, its place is in the home.

Strong aluminum: With one-piece, curved aluminum side ribs and an aluminum base, the chair is strong, yet lightweight and easy to move.
Design Story
The Aluminum Group initially was designed for Irwin Miller, founder of Cummins Engines, in Columbus, Indiana. Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard designed the Miller home and challenged Charles and Ray Eames to develop a high-quality seating product for outdoor use.
Known for their honest use of materials, the Eameses constructed the chairs with cast aluminum and first conceived of a seat frame to support stretched fabric--a synthetic mesh (woven saran). Although the mesh was discontinued shortly after its introduction, Herman Miller reintroduced a new mesh material for the Aluminum Group in 2001. Called Cygnus, it is similar to the Aeron chair's Pellicle fabric in its aeration and translucent qualities.
The seat-back suspension was a major technical achievement and represented a departure from the concept of the chair as a solid shell.
Wonderfully comfortable, the chairs became the basis for several other Eames designs, including the Soft Pad chair group.
Environmental Information
Herman Miller is and has always been one of the most impressive companies in America when it comes to conservation, environmental initiative, and clean, responsible production. With every product they make, new and old, they continue to push toward a greater goal of total energy independence, the elimination of all waste, especially hazardous waste, and the dramatic reduction of their environmental "footprint." Whether they're re-tooling the Eames Soft Pad Chairs to make them easier to recycle or retro-fitting their building with energy efficient light bulbs and machinery, they're always doing their best to keep the environment safe.
At Smart Furniture, we really respect that, and we also feel a kindred spirit. One of the many reasons why choose to partner with Herman Miller and sell their products online is because we see eye to eye on the importance of being an environmentally safe and responsible company. Herman Miller feels the same way about us; they make it a policy never to work with vendors who don't share their commitment, or who don't take every opportunity they have to be safer, cleaner, and less wasteful. Every step of the way, from production of the Eames Soft Pad Chair in Herman Miller factories, to the shipping of the same chair from our warehouse in Chattanooga, TN, our two companies take every step to lessen the environmental impact of designing, building, selling, and shipping a product.
Herman Miller has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to environmental issues. One of the main reasons that remains true today is that they set ambitious goals for themselves, and then commit to actually achieving them. It takes hard work, forward thinking and an almost artistic creativity to make an older product like the Eames Soft Pad Chair as safe as it can be, but all of those are qualities that have never been lacking at Herman Miller.
The most recent, and the most wide-ranging, of their environmental initiatives is called Design for the Environment. Referred to within the company (both in the offices and in the official documents available online) as DfE, the policies laid out within have guided the company inexorably toward a fully functional and totally green operation by the year 2020. The lastest policy, called "Perfect Vision," has laid out some of the most ambitious goals yet. Again, they are all meant to be met by the year 2020. Remember that these goals apply even to classical furniture like the Eames Soft Pad Chairs:
- Zero landfill
- Zero hazardous waste generation
- Zero air emissions (VOC)
- Zero process water use
- 100 percent green electrical energy use
- Company buildings constructed to a minimum LEED Silver certification
- 100 percent of sales from DfE-approved products
The first goal, zero landfill, is going to be one of the hardest to achieve. Landfills are real burdens on the environment because they are often filled with plastics and other non-biodegradable materials. Not to mention that they are, of course, immense amounts of garbage trapped under land. The odor, the damage, and the difficulty of breaking down waste all make landfills a headache. But Herman Miller is making progress. Over the last few decades, the amount of landfill generated by Herman Miller has been cut drastically. Every year it shrinks at an exponential rate, and ten years from now, it will be totally gone. That's something to celebrate.
The Eames Soft Pad Chair has been made easy to recycle and therefore not likely to end up in landfill. Most of the chair is recyclable, and needs only to be sifted into component parts when the user has decided it's time to part ways for good (though the chairs are very durable and this day should be well ahead in the future). Even though the chair was debuted four decades ago, the designers and builders are Herman Miller were able to update it without changing the look or anything material to it's classic standing.
As consumers, it's important to make responsible choices when you buy products like office chairs. In the marketplace, dollars are the voters, and every dollar that goes toward a green enterprise is a dollar other manufacturers will try and follow, and earn for themselves. When a company is responsible, it's not just good for the environment; it's good for them, and it's good for the business world as a whole.
The Eames Soft Pad Chair is just one of the many comfortable, stylish, beautiful, and creative products that Herman Miller has to offer. But they all have something in common; you can feel good when you buy them, because they came from one of the more responsible green companies in the business. Smart Furniture and Herman Miller are very proud to bring you the best in green furniture, green shipping, and green business. Buy your chairs today.

The brief flow chart of leaching line (solvent extraction plant)
1. Introduction
(1) Function: Leaching system is an oil extraction through soaking or spraying pre-pressed cake by a certain organic solvent. The principle of this part is the different solubility of solvent.
(2) Use range: Solvent extraction fits for pre-press extraction of high-oil-content materials and direct once time extraction of low-oil-content materials, such as soybean, rice brain.
2. Main parts
(1) Solvent pumps: continuously spray solvent to the rotary-type extractor
(2).Roary extractor: Spray and soak the pre-pressed cake with solvent so that oil fats can be
dissolved in solvent(form miscella). After processing, you can get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil).
(3). DTDC: usd to separate the solvent from the wet meal.
(4). Miscella tank 1st: pump the miscella (oil with solvent) in to the miscella 1st , and then add 10% saline water to it. The phospholipid and impurities in the miscella will react with the saline wter, at last the reactant precipitate, reaching the goal of purifying.
(5). Miscella tank 2nd: the purified miscella will be pumped into it.
(6). Miscella stripping: it will remove the remaining solvent in miscella. And the solvent will be discharged to condenser for recycling.
(7). condensers: used to cooling the solvent gas separated from the wet meal and miscella for recycling.
3.Main Process
(1) The material (for pretreatment) is sent to rotary extraction by the scraper conveyor. The material will extracted by the solvent or mix oil. After this step, we will get meal and mix oil.
(2) Meal is sent to toaster. Through the toaster, the solvent in the meal will separate from the meal. The solvent goes to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
(3) After the mix oil from the rotary extraction enters into 1st evaporator and 2nd evaporator, most of the solvent in the mix oil is separated.
(4) The mix oil from 2nd evaporator goes to stripping tower and almost all the solvent is separated. From the stripping tower, we can get crude oil and solvent. The solvent is sent to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
4 . Advantages
(1) High oil yield , obvious economic benefit .
(2) Residual oil rate in the dry meal .
(3) Improving the quality of the meal .
(4) Low processing cost , high labor productivity.
5.Professional Advice

A newspaper article too good not to share. If only they wrote articles like this these days…
This article appears to be from the Peoria Star, Peoria, Illinois, and is in a scrapbook created by the Princeville Heritage Museum, Princeville, Illinois.
Susannah was the younger sister of my ancestress Rebecca DeBolt Lair, and Peter Auten was a local banker referred to by Rebecca in her will as "my good friend."
Old Maid of 85 Years Vigorously Demands Her Rights
Sunday, May 24, 1903
Unwedded and unloved Miss Susannah Debolt has lived in this vale of tears for 85 long years, but not for (---) is this vale a tearful one. Far from it, good Gonzago.
This antique spinster is still a woman with a vigorous constitution and a strong mind, although it runs on an eccentric. Fourscore and five years have not debilitated her spirit though they may have somewhat warped her mentality. She lives alone in Princeville, chiefly in communion with the spirits of those whom she knew in her youth and mature womanhood, and so intimately has she become associated with them that she has very little respect for those who still inhabit this tenement of clay.
In the exercise of his judicial duties, it devolved upon Judge Slemmons to journey to Princeville yesterday and formally adjudge her incapable of caring for her estate, which is valued at about $4,000. The judge found her another Meg Merrilies, her eyes, undimmed with the rime of years, still flashing in anger and her tongue fluent in invective. She has a particular aversion to Banker Auten, the Princeville capitalist and by a peculiar circumstance he was appointed her conservator. During the judicial proceedings she created a dramatic scene by rising suddenly in her seat and after overwhelming the luckless banker with a torrent of abuse she seized a yardstick and brought it down on his venerable head with a resounding whack. It was a yardstick made in the good old days when articles of that sort were substantial and a ridge immediate arose on the banker's bald head to indicate the point of contact and to render its interior works incapable of striking a balance for the remainder of the day.
Through the rest of the examination the old lady sat erect in her chair and with the yardstick by her side, as a queen might sit upon her throne grasping her imperial sceptre. From that time on the judge and examiners were studiously respectful in their demeanor toward her and felt relieved when the ordeal was over.
The old lady has outlived all her near relatives and the proceedings of yesterday were taken in order to give her proper care and attention for the remnant of her days.

Nice and clean park, but not big on space
June 26, 2015
This KOA is quite pretty, with its nice views. Staff are very friendly. Bathrooms are all clean and self-contained with their own shower, sink and toilet, which is great. Location is also good because it's just 20 minutes away from Arches NP and Canyonlands. What made me give it only a 3+ rating? The sites are on the small side, so it's difficult to maneuver when you've got a big rig. The roads are also too narrow.
We stayed here in a Class C Motorhome.

...good experience...good price
Roadtrip America 2012
June 17, 2012
Despite negative reviews from others we had a good experience here. Of course its dusty, you are in the middle of the desert. Our back in site was next to the pool, so yes it was loud until the pool closed. But we were here to visit arches and the blessing of our air conditioning and the fact that it was $37 made up for it. Wifi was fast. Staff was excellent and friendly. We'd stay again....hopefully when it's cooler.
We stayed here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground but strict on rules
September 25, 2011
My wife and I spent a long weekend here to explore the Canyonlands. We stayed in one of their cabins. It was basic, but clean and everything was in good working order. We used the bbq grill too and the restrooms were clean and showers hot. To summarize a nice standard KOA campground in the desert.
The only down side is they are aggressive with the rules. We got told off for forgetting to put our car pass on display at all times. They patrol regularly to make sure everyone has it on display. Also we checked out 30 mins late, e.g. 10:30 AM instead of 10 AM as we were still using the showers. However, we had taken all our stuff out of the cabin and parked our car by the restrooms. While we were in the restrooms they came round and put a notice on our car about extra charges for being late to check out. This sort of behavior unfortunately detracts from the enjoyment of staying here.
We stayed here in a cabin.

InteraXon takes a holistic approach to brain fitness, making use of scientifically proven exercises and techniques that promote cognitive and emotional brain health.
Toronto (PRWEB) January 08, 2013
InteraXon, makers of cutting edge brainwave-enabled products and experiences, are showcasing Muse, the brain sensing headband and their first consumer product Muse's Brain Health System, at the 2013 Consumer Electronic Show (CES). Muse's Brain Health System will be available for walk-up demonstrations at booth 26728 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Muse's Brain Health System simultaneously strengthens the cognitive and emotional parts of your brain through mental exercise. Muse, the brain sensing headband that makes Muse's Brain Health system more powerful, measures brain activity during customized training exercises. The system allows the user to see how well their brain is performing so they can enhance their brain health.
The Brain Health System is fun and easy-to-use, and it is designed to teach users how to improve focus, maintain composure in stressful situations and reduce anxiety, among other applications.
"With over 70 percent of all doctor and hospital visits being due to stress-related illnesses we wanted to design a brain health system that helped both the cognitive and emotional," said Ariel Garten, Founder and CEO at InteraXon. "So many brain trainers focus on the cognitive aspects of the mind, but the emotional side is just as crucial. There needs to be a balance for you to have a healthy mind. We're very excited to showcase our technology at CES."
Technologically speaking, Muse is a four-sensor electroencephalography (EEG) headband that tracks the effectiveness of the brain by measuring how brainwaves react in real-time to applications and other stimuli. Brainwaves are translated to interact with mobile applications on smartphones and tablets wirelessly via Bluetooth. The device is designed for everyday use. It is slim, flexible and comfortable enough to wear for hours.
InteraXon takes a holistic approach to brain fitness, making use of scientifically proven exercises and techniques that promote cognitive and emotional brain health.

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good Monday so far.
Jennee at Cheap Therapy asked:
If a person has a brain aneurysm, how long would it take before it might kill them?
This an an interesting question and one near and dear to my heart, as a family member of mine suffered (and miraculously survived) a ruptured aneurysm.
First off, what's an aneurysm? Aneurysms occur when part of a blood vessel, usually an artery, stretches out in a balloon-like fashion in a portion of the vessel. The pressure from the blood inside can make the aneurysm even larger, and it can burst.
The causes? They can be hereditary, due to atherosclerosis, diabetes, smoking, aging, and copper deficiency, among other things.
Why are they bad? The problem with arteries bursting is there is a lot of pressure forcing that blood out. It's that force which normally pumps blood into your brain and body, after all. When an artery bleeds out, it's hard for your body to stop the bleeding and "bandage" the broken vessel (which is why we put pressure on cuts, to give broken vessels that chance). But of course, you can't put pressure on internally bleeding vessels. So a ruptured aneurysms can be catastrophic, to say the least.
Where are they found? They can be found in the biggest arteries of your body (like the aorta) and in smaller but important vessels that supply blood to the brain. These intracranial aneurysms are the ones that Jennee is asking about.
So if a person has one, will they definitely die from it? The answer is...not necessarily. Having an aneurysm does not automatically mean you'll die from it. It depends on a lot of factors.
The larger the aneurysm, the higher the chance it could rupture. Small ones are less likely to rupture; larger ones (bigger than 1 cm across) have a much higher risk.
Also, the rupture risk changes depending on which vessel in the head is involved, how healthy the person is to begin with, any bleeding problems, if they're on a blood thinner...so again, it depends. But one this is for sure, a ruptured brain aneurysm is a very, very serious thing and carries a very real death risk and morbidity (that's permanent non-fatal stuff like speech, movement, and memory problems) risk.
Thanks Jennee for a great question!

A small big success, but none the less big for its smallness. Some people might call it a small success, but they aren't thinking big. I mean, is a success a success despite its lack of success? Yes. Is a success a big success in the face of arbitrary declarations of smallness? Also yes. So in the wake of the big-big success of our Ignite event, the 091 Labs was a similarly big success of a smaller magnitude.
I had several photographers bowed out at the last minute due to sickness, Saturday-morningness and plain bad weather. Rumors were aswirl of a resurgent black death stalking down windblown Galway street, but 091 Labs, boards.ie and photowalk.ie combined to field nine walkers.
It was a fun day, really. I even had a moment of gear envy, a moment that was ironically centred around an assortment twenty year old and toy (Lomo) cameras! I originally wasn't going to shoot on the day, but Oisin made a timely donation of 35mm colour film to save the morning. The walk itself took a meandering route down under the Lough Atalia bridge, past (but not in because it was locked up!) Forthill Cemetery, around the east side of the docks, where, after a brush with a crazy screaming woman who I took to goading, we lazily meandered in the general direction of the Eyre Square Centre.
The crazy screaming woman
The crazy screaming woman, henceforth CSW, was fun. We were photographing private boats on private property in a shocking and disrespectful of the law and upon CSW's instructions we were to cease photographing, delete the images and leave the area immediately or face consequences. I'm very proud to say that the other photowalkers brushed her off good-naturedly and bit proud and a tiny bit ashamed to admit that I took to goading her and started photographing her. Extensively. CSW used language that did not befit her station as a regal matriarch of the dockside community.
Or maybe she did… if you say "dockside community". My last view of CSW during a cheeky grin and wave over my shoulder as was furiously calling An An Garda Síochána to forcibly remove us. Crazy Screaming Woman, I salute you.
On the roof of the Eyre Square Centre we took some crazily-perched vistas of the city, surrounding hills and bay. Hugh, especially, bagged some really gorgeous shots of storms rolling in off the bay. I'm really shocked that we weren't run off from the roof of the centre. Staff and public ignored us and residents of overlooking apartments graced us with friendly waves. Up and down, over and through, back around…
Shop Street and the Saturday market. Newcomer and new photographer Sinead – Sinead: Hello! – and Hugh both took their leave of us. Oisin, Denis, Denis' wonderful wife Lorraine, Ken, Petra, anonymous Polish guy (I am very, very sorry but I do not remember your name :[ ) and I all broke for lunch at Riordans cafe. After Riordans we took in the River Corrib, showers, the Waterside and, yes, swans. Swans swans swans. And then we went back to 091 Labs and collectively crashed out on the couches. All of us who made it had a really fantastic, edutainment packed day for everyone who made it. If you want to explore more of the photographs from the walk, you can discover them on pix.ie by exploring the photowalk tag:

When I say exciting defense, what are some of the teams that immediately jump to your mind? The Ravens? Steelers? Vikings? Jets? Cowboys? What if I told you that this Friday 5 is my list of the top five most exciting defenses in the NFL right now, and not a single one of the teams I just mentioned is on it? Now hear me out before you jump to conclusions and discredit the rest of this post. I came up with with this list of top five most exciting defenses by basing it solely on numbers. That's right, my list is purely from a statistical perspective, and that's right, none of those teams made the cut. I started out by asking myself the basic question of what are the most exciting defensive plays? I think it's pretty straight forward to say that they would be interceptions, forced fumbles and sacks. Bone-crushing hits would also be in there but there is no statistic for that, plus a lot of those hits result in sacks and/or forced fumbles anyhow. Starting with this as my foundation I started looking up the numbers for last season. In 2009 there were a total of 1101 sacks, 525 interceptions and 509 forced fumbles. So as a general statement (using 1 sig-fig, if you will) I think it's fair to say that interceptions and forced fumbles are twice as exciting as sacks, based on how frequently they happen. So I developed two basic formulas:
One for the total number of exciting plays: S + I + F = N
And one for the level of excitement the team causes: S + 2I + 2F = X
Where S represents the number of sacks a team had, I represents the number of interceptions, F represents the number of forced fumbles, N represents the total number of exciting plays and X represents the level of excitement rating. I ranked the teams using the first formula, then I ranked them using the second formula, and after that I took their average from those two rankings and used that as my final number to sort the teams by. As a tie-breaker I used defensive touchdowns scored. Here's how it panned out: Continue reading

New functionality provides a wide range of support for 5-axis machining.
New functionality provides a wide range of support for 5-axis machining.
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM software for programming CNC machine tools, announced today that a new GibbsCAM option, which supports 5-axis simultaneous milling, has begun shipping to customers around the world. The new GibbsCAM 5-Axis option further extends GibbsCAM's existing machining capability and provides the user with a complete range of 5-axis simultaneous milling functionality to be able to machine turbine blade, impellers, engine porting, aircraft wing spars and various medical parts.
"We are seeing an increased use of 5-axis machining in production manufacturing," states Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates. "Not only do 5-axis machine tools minimize the number of set-ups required to machine a part, but many of the models being created by today's CAD systems contain geometry that can only be machined using 5-axis technology. Due to the extensive and varied feature set of the 5-Axis option, users are able to machine almost any 5-axis shape. In addition, 5-axis technology provides the user with the ultimate amount of control when applying tooling to a part. Because of this, collision avoidance, improved surface finish, and reduced tool wear are some of the numerous benefits realized. With the new 5-axis module, GibbsCAM users will not only be able to machine parts they couldn't before, but may even be able to improve the machining of parts they could."
The new 5-Axis option introduces the following capabilities:
- Multi-surface 5-axis roughing and finishing.
- Multi-surface 5-axis flowline machining.
- Surface edge 5-axis swarf cutting (trimming vacuum-formed parts)
- Adaptable interface, based on part type strategy, shows only what is needed
- Advanced gouge protection ensures safe cuts in even the most complex operations.
- Complete control over entry/exit, cut-to-cut, and between cut moves.
A variety of post processing approaches is available for the GibbsCAM 5-Axis option. Simple modifications to most GibbsCAM post processors allow them to support 5-axis output. Existing posting systems, which are based on APT-CL, can also be supported through GibbsCAM's APT-CL post. Additionally, 5-axis drivers initially created for the ProAXYZ 5as option for GibbsCAM are compatible with the new 5-Axis option.
"Many multi-task machining centers," explains Mr. Gibbs, "such as Mazak's Integrex E-series and Mark IV series, Mori Seiki's NT series, Okuma's MacTurn and Multus series, Doosan's MX series, Nakamura Tome's Super NTJ and Super NTJX series, and Index's G series, incorporate B-axis live tooling to provide even more flexibility and versatility. When combined with the GibbsCAM MTM option, the new GibbsCAM 5-Axis option is capable of supporting multi-task machining centers with live B-axis tooling."
The new 5-Axis option is fully integrated with GibbsCAM's Machine Simulation option allowing the user to virtually set-up and prove-out complex 5-axis programs off of the machine tool minimizing costly machine down time. The 5-Axis option is also supported by GibbsCAM's integration with CGTech's VERICUT machine simulation application.
To further enhance the usability of the new 5-Axis option, a comprehensive set of documentation was developed which allows users to quickly learn how to focus upon machining their specific type of work. Unlike other CAM systems which expect only "power users" to be able to figure out their 5-axis simultaneous machining, the GibbsCAM documentation, consisting of almost 325 pages, provides users with an explanation of the many varied machining strategies available within the GibbsCAM 5-Axis option. GibbsCAM's printed documentation for the option is complemented by GibbsCAM's context sensitive online help.
For more information about GibbsCAM or to learn more about the new GibbsCAM 5-Axis option, please call 1-800-654-9399, email [email protected] , or visit the company's website, www.GibbsCAM.com .

"I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.I'm Popeye the Sailor Man…" I am still singing this silly tune to myself and can't seem to get it out of my head! Popeye ( John Moran) sang it alongside his companions in just the appropriate sailor-ly way in Factory Theater's The New Adventures of Popeye. An extremely fun, funny, and intimate venue, this late night showing was a quick blast of pure entertainment! The physical comedy, audience interaction, animation of the characters, and cleverly directed episodes were all major stand-outs at this local community theater.
Directed by Eric Roach, The New Adventures of Popeye brought a new and lively take to the famed cartoon, incorporating contemporary issues into the standard stories and relationships. Despite the fact that I really had no idea who Popeye was prior to watching this series of sketches (aside from wrongfully assuming he was related to Marie Calender's chicken pot pies!), I found this production of Popeye's stories to be very clear and understandable, fitting for any generation, and requiring no prior knowledge of the cartoon. I was so enraptured by the characters and the silly hurdles they all go through together that by the end of the night, I made it a goal of mine to watch the cartoon, and I still eagerly hold myself to it.
The late night comedy is divided into 3 mini episodes, with an additional in-your-face, interactive prologue and with intermittent fun commercial breaks in between. The adventures began right as we, the audience, entered the small theater. Popeye came right up to me at the start of the show, with his corky and not-so-easily understandable dialect, eagerly showing me some of his newly found gadgets, while Bluto let me choose a few pieces of candy from his bucket, devilishly fooling around with me at the same time. This fun pre-show created an intimate, light-hearted, interactive atmosphere that lasted throughout the evening.
The first episode of the play, "The Apple of my Popeye" was quite funny, with Bluto and Popeye vying against each other to sell apples. It is in this scene that we see the love relationship develop between sweet and naïve Olive Oyl and gritty Popeye. The following episode, "Therapy Shmerapy" was pure laugh-out-loud comedy---with each intervention by the two therapists creating more ruckus in the relationship between Popeye and Olive Oyl. The physical comedy that organically weaved itself into this skit was wonderfully astounding, as was the acapella musical accompaniment and sound bites that were incorporated (all done by the characters on stage with the instruments and goodies they had available). The poster boards indicating the progression of time, ie "after six therapy sessions…" added to the humor, for the more sessions there were had, the greater the chaos, even leading to fighting among the two therapists! The final episode, "In Plane Sight" was also replete with wit. Olive Oyl (Sarah Rose Graber) made a funny remark about the current controversy over body scans, come on stage a bit disheveled and with her skirt scrunched up to her thigh. The huge knife she pulled out of her purse and realized she couldn't bring on also helped connect the themes of Popeye to the somewhat ridiculous lifestyle we face today in America.
The airplane setting with Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto intimately and uncomfortably squeezed together, with male koken Colin Milroy narrating behind and female koken Lina Del Toro providing musical accompaniment, was filled with clown-like farce and wonderful comedic timing. The fact that each character is so enmeshed in his own world created the venue for great conflict to arise on a jam-packed row of an airplane.
Sarah Rose Graber truly committed to the part of Olive Oyl and played the character perfectly---her big eyes and huge facial expressions, limberness and talent at physical comedy, and high voice all gave off an air of innocence and naivete that was continuously captivating. David Skvarla skillfully played the part of Bluto with grime and grittiness, using his big and bold eyes to accentuate his character. Popeye and the male and female kokens also committed to their characters and obviously had fun with their parts. The entire cast clearly had a tight camaraderie with each other, going through each of the adventures as a true ensemble.
It was precisely the use of physical comedy, the animation of the characters, and the actor-made sounds and posters that accompanied the acting that made these late night adventures extra comedic. The fun the characters had on stage was incredibly infectious, bringing laughter and humor to a quite supportive audience. If you are looking for an evening of fun filled with lots of laughter and slap stick comedy, then be sure to check out The New Adventures of Popeye!

Did you get anything at Maison Martin Margiela with H&M's launch last month?
I love a good designer/high-street street collaboration and I've been to enough to know this was a good one. With over 100 items of Maison Martin Margiela's back catalogue on offer, what better way to get your hands on a piece of iconic design at a fraction of its normal price?
I did wonder if owners of the original designs would be annoyed that the pieces they own are now so widely – and cheaply – available. Or if they loved them so much, they were glad for the chance to stock up on a second.
However, I decided I wasn't going to shop this collaboration. I simply didn't love anything enough to queue for the 8am launch. And, while I appreciate Maison Martin Margiela's conceptual designs, I had to ask myself how well these avant-garde pieces would work in my wardrobe.
But then I saw a fashion editor's tweet with this men's Fair Isle sweater and my heart started racing. I'd dismissed the womenswear as not for me, but I'd hardly given the menswear a second glance. I. Wanted. This. Sweater.
When my friend Andrew came back to the office with a Maison Martin Margiela shopping bag after a late lunch, he got the full inquisition.
Yes, you could walk straight into the store and shop the collection now.
Yes, there was plenty of menswear left.
And yes, including that jumper.
I hotfooted it down there at the speed of light and gleefully grabbed the one and only XS on the rail. It was meant to be!
I like that each piece of this collaboration comes with a tag explaining which collection the original design appeared. My Re-assembled Fair Isle sweater? From autumn/winter 2004/2005.
Back home, my husband the Stickman took a liking to said jumper. He slipped it on and it fitted. On me, I was swamped. So, that was it – my Christmas shopping had started!
If you were wishing you'd snapped up a piece of Maison Martin Margiela with H&M and had missed out, think again. There's a few items online in the H&M sale. I got the chunky knit Dolly cardigan when it was reduced from £59.99 to £30. Now it's just £20.
The car seat cover dress and glove clutch that Helena Christensen wore are now down from £179.99 to £70 and £79.99 to £30 respectively. And don't miss Maison Martin Margiela's leather jacket. It's a bargain at £100, reduced from £179.99.
There are other items in the sale, including menswear. However, they're no longer listed under Maison Martin Margiela so you'll have to scour through the sale items to find them. The big reductions should make it worth your while, though, so happy hunting!
