What You Need to Know About VPNs and Why You Should consider Using One
VPN is the abbreviation for Virtual Private Network. Apart from ensuring your network connection is secure it also gives you access to networks in different regions. For instance, an internet user in Asia can be able to access a website in Europe. This is made possible by the fact that VPN conceals their real location and makes them appear to be in a city in Europe; this breaks regional barriers to websites access.
Initially, this service was created to allow internet users to connect businesses together online securely. Overtime, VPN spread beyond securing businesses online. All your traffic on the internet is now sent to this network before it redirected to its destination. It allows users to remotely connect to local resource networks as well as bypassing censorship on the internet.
I'm I fully anonymous online with a VPN service?
The answer to this question is a no. A VPN service does not keep you completely anonymous online, however, it does a tremendous job in ensuring that you are off the eyes of hackers and would be cyber criminals. Just like the personal physical addresses we have that makes it easier for persons to reach out to us, the internet has also allocated all internet users standard unique addresses.These addresses are known as Internet Protocol abbreviated as IP. If you connect to the internet with a coffee shop Wi-Fi without a VPN, your personal data, the router at the coffee shop Wi-Fi and servers you are connecting to get exposed. Any third party could use the appropriate tools to look at your data.
IP and ISP: How do they relate to a VPN?
Every computer that connects to the internet has been allocated a unique IP address that enables it to send, return and distribute information with other computers on the internet. The IP is a unique series of numbers that gives a standard format for identifying computers on the internet. Like the unique physical addresses we have, no one IP address can be similar to another. Otherwise, the internet would be a web of total confusion.
That said, understand that when you connect to the internet, it is your internet service provider that allocates your router an IP address. Before you connect to the internet, the router first creates a network between computers in your local area. This network of computers created is then connected to the internet by your internet service provider, public Wi-Fi or modem. That means that when you get connected online, each device in your local area network is given an IP address.
Worth noting is that your internet service provider has your personal details such as your web activity, name and your location. Now, if doomsday comes and your ISP gets hacked, you are in a total shit. Hackers could use your personal information to track important financial and business information that belongs to you.
Also, an ISP comes with legal restrictions. Trying to engage in piracy will alert your ISP which will communicate to copyright holders that may land you into serious legal trouble. ISPs have also been given the right to use your personal data for marketing purposes.
However, that does not mean you have lost total control of your personal information and data. It's discouraging to realize that your data is in the hands of third parties who could be using it for their own selfish interests. A Virtual Privacy Network is your best bet in ensuring your safety and privacy online. Check out for the best VPN services on BestVPN.com
Protecting your privacy
Now that your ISP provides your IP, millions of internet users have fallen victim to unscrupulous ISPs that have used their personal data for political gains and business mileage. In a related scenario, the social giant, Facebook, came under serious public lashing and scrutiny after it emerged that personal data of many of its users were fed to an IT company, Cambridge Analytical for political purposes.
You are now picturing a scenario where a lot of your personal information is out there in the online web. Your safest way out is to employ the services of a virtual private network. A VPN allows you to hide your true identity online by shielding your original IP address with the one provided by a VPN server. Consequently, it means, your internet service provider can't get access to your original IP but the new one by VPN.
With a VPN service, you are able to browse through the web almost anonymously. This is made possible by the fact that a VPN encrypts your personal information. Your activity online is taken through a tunnel that has been designed between you and the server in a VPN.
VPN protocols
There are several VPN protocols that come with a VPN service. Some of these protocols, like the Advanced Encryption Standard protocol, work by breaking down your data into packets. The packets are then encrypted before they are decrypted by a VPN server. This conceals your information making you surf the internet privately.
Another protocol is the Open VPN. It encrypts your data through several tunnels which protects your personal information before decrypting it on a VPN server.
VPN protocols vary in their security features. Some make your data more secure by encrypting it a number of times. However, multiple encryptions on your data have also the downside of slowing down your internet speed during decryption. You want to research on the features of a VPN protocol before going for one.
Staying safe online is not a choice but a necessity. Whether you are using a Smartphone, Mac or PC, it's imperative that you protect yourself against the risks that come with using open source Wi-Fi. Your Internet service provider carries your personal information including your location, web activity and name. ISP provides your IP-Internet protocol which is your standard web address for your device that is connected online. By choosing to use a VPN, you protect yourself by masking your IP address and therefore appear as a fictitious persona online. This prevents hackers from easily accessing your data.

Softsand is about a four-day journey on foot from Brightwater.
Temples to Camden, Ungween, and Roga. Lots of oysters, they do pearl farming there. Roga has a unique tree there that grows sets of seedpods. These do not sprout if planted, but when separated and worn around the neck, they are sympathetic to their host and each other. As long as both hosts are alive, both seeds will remain whole and shut. If a host dies, both pods split open. Sailors with families like to stop in Softsand to pluck a set of pods so both they and their loved ones will be sure the other is well.
The ruler of Softsand is called the Lord of Pearls by some.

Consisting of 36 papers, this volume presents a symposium on the pathologic physiology of peptic ulcer held during the Second World Congress of Gastroenterology in Munich, Germany in 1962. The text is divided into five parts: gastric physiology, experimental ulcer production, the effect of pharmacological compounds, local factors in peptic ulcer formation, and systemic factors in peptic ulcer formation with a final essay by the editor on a philosophical approach to causality.
The authors are largely internationally known authorities in their fields. Some have written extensive critical reviews of the subject assigned to them, others have presented original data in

In 2016, we had monthly discussions of the "A Vision for Our Future" document produced by members of the national church. It is a document intended to stir thought and suggest ways forward, but one which each individual church may consider and use, or not, as they see fit. Some key points from our discussions are shown below, along with a longer response (at the end) to Rev. Bill Darlison's piece at the start of the Vision document, "A Faith That Matters".
Part 3: A Spiritual Feast
We discussed how many of us valued the time we spend together talking and having coffee after the service., but noted that it is not always easy to organise and attend events other than the Sunday service when everyone is working or has care commitments or health issues. If society has changed, how can we accommodate this? There was a feeling that "a sense of community" is what the writer is after, being part of the church.
Part 4: A Promoter of Social Justice
We debated the purpose of a church. One view expressed was that the prime purpose of a church is to be a space for people to meet their spiritual needs, and that social justice activities should grow from this. One thought was that, given our small size, if we wished to take more action on social justice, we might do this most effectively by working in partnership with other religious and spiritual groups in the city, such as the Inter Faith Council and Newcastle City Centre Churches Together. Thanks to everyone who took part in the discussions, for these points of view.
Being a Faith that Matters: A reaction to Rev. Bill Darlison
Rev. Bill Darlison answers the question of whom our faith should matter to: society and the individual. We have indeed historically been great at committing ourselves to progressive causes in society, but for me, this indicates the first great question raised by Rev. Darlison, are we talking about the national Unitarian faith, or about individual churches and fellowships? This is an issue for Unitarians as it isn't for faiths with a single unifying theology.
I love my church, the Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarians, for different viewpoints expressed, the fact that we welcome newcomers, our mixture of experienced wisdom and new ideas, I love the friendship and fellowship of a group of people containing, among others, theists, Unitarian Universalists, atheists, and the not-quite-sure. Perhaps most of all, I love the wide range of different views expressed in our services, and the blessed freedom to disagree openly with them and be encouraged to do so. I have grown as a member of my church. That freedom is what I want to offer to anyone who walks through our door.
Rev Darlison asks: "What about the person who feels existential sickness of soul, who is seeking answers to life's deepest questions, who wants to learn how to pray, how to approach God, how to find forgiveness for past sins and how to find hope and faith for future endeavours?" I'm tempted to reply that that person clearly has a particular theological view of the world. The words "sin" and "soul" tend not to get much attention in our churches and fellowships because they convey a particular theological outlook: that there is a God who has set down rules for human behaviour, and actions contradicting those rules are an offence against God as well as a wrong to one's fellow human beings. Many, probably most, of us reject that viewpoint.
Yet it is a question: if someone comes to us in the depths of a spiritual crisis, what can we offer them? We can't offer them an answer in the form of a detailed theology setting out rights and wrongs. We can offer them the space to explore their own answers to their questions. If someone comes to us thinking we could offer them a spiritual path, we can say to them "Here you are free to find your own path, and we will walk with you on the way and be your companions." If this is not enough for that person, and it may not be, then as a Unitarian, I accept the right of all other human beings to find their own path, and for them, it may not be in my church. So be it.
There's also a practical point here: such spiritual counselling would often be best done by a trained minister, as it would be in other churches. When many Unitarian churches and fellowships do not have or cannot afford a minister, is this something we can provide?
Nevertheless, there is a question here about whether we do offer those who are new to our faith, and perhaps to any organised religion, and who are seeking to explore their faith. Many of our current members have either been Unitarians since their early years, or were members of other nonconformist traditions prior to joining the Unitarian faith. I think we do need, as a faith, to review how friendly we are to those who are taking the first few steps on their path. David Usher's book, "Twelve Steps to Spiritual Health", provides a useful guide to one way this might be done. Should we review our services as well, and consider how much sense they would make to those who are new to our church or fellowship?
Rev. Bill Darlison appears to state that in every UK Unitarian church or fellowship, someone posing the questions 'Who am I?', 'Why am I here?', 'Where am I going?', 'What's the ultimate point of it all?', "we can offer no answers beyond the dreary banalities distilled from Neo-Darwinism, that we are nothing special, that we got here by accident, that we're destined for the grave, and that there's no ultimate point".
I don't recognise this "rationalist dogma that dominates contemporary Unitarian thought" in my own church, nor in the national Unitarian faith. The answers I have found in both range from the above view, but also encompass "you are a unique individual who can grow and develop in fellowship throughout the whole of your life", "you are here to become closer to the Divine Spirit – or to find value in your own sense of right and wrong, there isn't a definitive answer except the one you find for yourself", "we are here for each other" and "we don't know for certain what the ultimate point of it all is, and we may all be destined for the grave, but we'll find some meaning, enlightenment and fellowship along the way".
To compare and contrast the growth of Mormonism with the decline of Unitarianism is one way to approach our declining numbers; another way would be to compare us with other nonconformist faiths in the UK, who have also seen a steep decline. Is the growth in Mormonism due to their focus upon "practising" religion, or because they may be better than we are at present at going out there and talking about their religion to those who might be interested?
My view that many people search for "certainties" in religion is not because I think they are simple-minded, but because that is what many religions offer, and that is why they thrive (interesting in this light to consider the rise of Mormonism in the UK!). We don't offer that. I do agree with Rev. Bill Darlison that we need to be somewhere "where people's imagination can be fed, where their deepest instincts can be satisfied, where their sense of transcendent otherness can be explored". We need to get better at both being a place where that can happen, and at communicating to people that this is what they will find when they join us.
We can't offer people the certainty of a single theological outlook, but we do, I think, need to get better at offering them the certainty that we know what we want to do and achieve within our churches and fellowships. Re-learning the meaning and importance of prayer and regular spiritual practice must, I agree, be part of this. In the truth, the core of my own disagreement with Rev. Darlison is that I believe we are a faith that matters, but that we are not always as good as we could be at making our churches and fellowships welcoming places for those who are new to our faith and to all faiths, and to whom our faith will matter, if only we can convey to them that we are where they can discover their truths. We must be that place – or indeed those places, for all Unitarian churches and fellowships will develop their own ways, and walk their own paths. That is the essence of who we are.

Herb Graham was a remarkable man - in so many ways. We all remember the tenor of his voice - that remarkable instrument that could inspire you with its gravitas, soothe you with its smoothness or convince you to vote for any candidate. But Herb was more than a voice. His talent was a reflection of the depth of his soul, not the vibration of his vocal chords.
I only knew Herb for a short time - 3 years - when, as a college student, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to play the role of Tiny Tov on the WBBM television show, "The Magic Door." Herb was the voice of Booby Beaver - a loveable, mischievous rodent puppet who served as a center of chaos in almost every episode. Herb was one member of a remarkable cast of professional actors, puppeteers and voice over artists who basically donated their time to this long-running Chicago TV institution. I was the young kid with a guitar and green tights who was dropped in their midst.
What I remember most about Herb was his calming presence and his wicked sense of humor. He was incredibly supportive of me. From day one, he welcomed me, calmed my nerves and taught me how to be a professional.
One of the most powerful memories I have is how, during the run-through rehearsals that would take place at the beginning of each taping of the show, Herb and other cast members would riff on the script. You cannot imagine the liberties that they would take with their lines. WE would laugh until we cried. Now remember - I not only played the role of Tiny Tov - I grew up watching him and the Magic Door as a young child in Chicago. Hearing Herb spewing raunchy double entendres in Booby's voice during rehearsals was amazing.
I never heard him say a negative word about anyone. Herb Graham made me feel like part of a family - and this is truly who we were.
In Jewish tradition, when someone has died we say: 'Zaycher Tzaddik Livracha" - may the memory of the righteous be for a blessing.
Shalom Herb - you will be missed!

this morning./
I couldn't sleep last night.
Nothing was wrong. I was tired. I just couldn't sleep. I laid there underneath layers and layers of cozy blankets. quilts from my grandma. fleeces from college. steals from india. All keeping me warm. But I still couldn't sleep. I tried wearing myself out with reading. My eyelids were heavy, my thoughts were quiet, but still I couldn't sleep. Four hours passed of that until I finally fell asleep at 4:30am.
When I woke up this morning I thought I had surely slept until noon. Nope. 9am. poop.
I tried going back to sleep, and when that didn't work I let myself rest in bed and bum around on the internet. But then I saw this.
"A lazy life is an empty life, but "early to rise" gets the job done." Proverbs 12:27
Nuts. So at 9:23am I got up and got some work done. Everyday I'm hustling. bam. I love tea in the morning. And I swear it's colder in this house than it is outside.
Happy day, friends!

Despite the abject failures of his wishes for 2010, wishes for 2011, wishes for 2012, wishes for 2013, wishes for 2014 and most recently his wishes for 2015, in a continuing triumph of hope over experience, WC will once again set out his wishes for 2016. While it is tempting to moderate those wishes, WC is not inclined to lower his expectations in the hope of greater success. So here they are: WC's wishes for 2016:
- Overpopulation. Yes. Still at the top of the list. The root of much is what is wrong and going wrong on this tired, over-crowded and badly abused planet. Back in 2011, we rolled the odometer over to an estimated 7 billion. To a deplorable extent, especially in the Western world, the rate of population growth is a function of religious dogma. The Catholic church and the Latter Day Saints' crazed obsession with large families would be two obvious examples. When religious dogma have counter-survival effects, it's past time to change them. WC calls on all those latter day saints and infallible pontiffs to have a revelation: that further growth of human populations is terrible, and must be controlled, that more than two children is a sin by whatever definitions they use.
- Anthropocentric climate change. Another repeat from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015: the second great crisis facing humanity are the changes we are forcing on our planet's climate. The way things are going, to paraphrase Pratchett and Gaiman, we are going to scourge all intelligent life from the planet, leaving nothing but dust, cockroaches and fundamentalists. The time for denying man-caused climate change is past. Can we at least shift the debate about how to deal with it? The Arctic Ocean will soon be ice-free. Can all the global warming-denying politicians who have sold their small, dark, crabbed souls to the fossil fuels industry have a look in the mirror and ask themselves, "Do I care about my grandchildren?" There will come a day when fossil fuel lobbyists and the politicians they have purchased will be held in the same contempt as Congressmen who defended slavery, or claimed tobacco was harmless. It's past time to act. Why not now?
- Our national government still remains broken. For the first time since the prelude to the Civil War, a political party has set its agenda as obstructing everything a president proposes. Up until the recent past, the "loyal opposition" meant cooperating with the guy who, you know, won the election. No longer. WC wishes that the Republican-controlled Congress would, just this once, place the interests of the nation above their own failed agendas. Obstructionism hasn't worked. Shutting down the government didn't work – any of the times it has been implemented. Why not try compromise as an alternative? The recent budget settlement demonstrates it is possible. There's a horribly long list of critical issues facing Congress. So long as the Executive and Legislative branches of government remain divided, compromise is the only path to resolving those issues. Congress has repeatedly demonstrated it can compromise; it simply won't.
- The American people re-discover their values. As a people, we have lost our way. Out of fear, or revenge or some even darker emotion, we as a people have come to embrace things a generation ago we rejected as morally repugnant. First it was torture; the United States led the prosecution of torturers and war criminals after World War II. Now, seemingly, we endorse torture. A nation of immigrants – American Indians and Alaska Natives excepted – now talks of erecting Berlin Walls along our borders, of blocking refugees out of irrational fear, and turning back refugee children. The people that built a nation out of compromise – the U.S. Constitution itself is demonstrably the product of compromise – now embraces inflexibility and confrontation. Ideas and proposals antithetical to our core values and our society, that would have been derided 25 years ago, are now taken as beacons. We must re-find our true selves.
- Find a path to reduce income inequality. In the United States, income inequality is at its greatest extreme since the Gilded Age. The middle class in America is vanishing like the polar ice. The share of total U.S. wealth and total U.S. income commanded by the top 1% of the population has increased every year since the start of the Great Recession. The problem isn't limited to the U.S. It's international. But in the U.S. the increasing income disparity could be resolved by a change in tax policy. The chances of that happening in the current Congress is effectively non-existent. Which seems to WC to imply an increasingly harsh government and some kind of revolution. Perhaps WC's readers can see a better path.
- Reform Campaign Finance and Lobbying. It's more than the deluded ideas the supreme court espoused in Citizens United. It's even more than the ludicrous claim that major campaign donors don't have out-sized influence with the candidates they support. If you think that a politician who has accepted a six-figure contribution in her last campaign, making a call to that donor for a contribution for the next campaign, won't do what the donor wants, well, WC envies you your pink, fuzzy, warm delusions. We must move to publicly financed election campaigns. It can be financed by a tax on the richest 1% – not only can they afford it; they are spending the money already. Political action committees must be abolished. The gross abuse of §501(c)(4) exempt organizations for political fundraising must be stopped.
So there you have it: six comparatively modest, sensible and practical wishes. WC cautions against holding your breath while waiting to see if they come true. Asphyxia is bad for you.
Happy New Year, everyone.

Wow! I knew it had been a while since I last posted, but February?! Yikes. I hope all of you out there have been enjoying your summer. Continue reading
It is about halfway through winter here in Michigan. Last week was the darkest week on record for this winter. So far this winter we have had 9% sunshine. Tonight, the 'light snow showers' turned into about 3 inches of snow in 2 hours, with snow in the forecast for the next several days.
I need to get away.
I've been away for about 4 months now – time to get back to posting a little more often! This summer I worked almost every Saturday and stacked up over 400 hours of overtime. However, I tried to get out and about when I could. I spent a weekend exploring Traverse City, MI. I've been frequently blown away by how beautiful Michigan is (having moved here from Iowa about a year ago) and Traverse City was no exception. I have hundreds of photos from my 2 days there, but this remains one of my favorites.
I went out to my favorite place in town the other night: the channel. We had a beautiful day and as it got towards sunset the temps were still in the 40s. The sun was shining brightly, which is unusual for Michigan winters. I could tell early on that it was going to be a beautiful sunset and after a long winter with so few of those, I was excited. I got in position with several others, and watched this beauty happen.
I've been in Michigan for 4 months now. Seeing as how it is mid-January, it is safe to say I'm well into my first Michigan Winter as well. So far, I'd say it is…bearable. I'm only a few miles from the lake shore, so lake effect snow is a very real thing here. Since day 1 of moving here people have warned me about the dreaded 'Michigan Winter'. It honestly started to feel like every person I met felt a great need to warn me of what I was soon to encounter. Initially I just gave them a blank stare and responded with "I'm from Iowa. I've been through winter." My brother and I have joked about this as he has been here through 4 Michigan Winters. Here's the thing: yes, there is more snow here, BUT, at least you can BREATHE!
Yesterday I spent several hours walking around Art Prize 2015. This is an annual art show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The show takes place all throughout the downtown area; some exhibits are in buildings, some are outside as murals, sculptures in the river, and statues in fountains. 2015 marks the 7th year of Art Prize. In just this short time it has become a wildly popular 3-week event that draws in thousands of people.
I recently moved to western Michigan. The town I landed in is right on Lake Michigan. Being near the water is fun for a lot of reasons, but for me, one of the best things is watching the sun set over the water. I love spending time out there at sunset. If the weather is nice several people will be out there, either sitting along the channel, or walking out to the end of the pier. A few nights ago I looked outside and noticed it was a mostly clear night with a big, beautiful, bright sun. I knew it would be a good night to head out to the beach and take in the beauty that my new home state had to offer. Below are some of the pictures I took.

2010: A Look Back
A summary of my year in writing and publishing, events, audio, video, and more of life...
1. Writing/Publishing
This year has seen a mixture of submitting, self-publishing, and engaging in exploratory and collaborative projects.
As planned, I released two Deviations volumes this year: Bloodlines in June and TelZodo in December, both as free e-book downloads. Next year I'll release the series conclusion, Second Covenant. If you've been following the series (thank you, readers!), I've got the final installment's blurb and preview here.
I had hoped to start producing audiobooks this year, but that's taking longer than expected. The folks at Podiobooks have given me some great pointers. I've recorded a read-through of Covenant, but the real work comes in the editing, which I hope to devote time to in 2011. I've also gotten some requests to produce paperback versions, so am considering my options there as well. Thanks to everyone who's gotten in touch!
This year also marked the first time I've produced chapbooks: 30 Science Sonnets for April 2010 and Divinations: writing by the throw of the dice. (I've also submitted the sonnets to Open Laboratory, an annual anthology of science blogs. Click here for links to everyone's submissions.) Divinations is an outgrowth of my participation in Folded Word's "24/7" project in August. My website has info on the chapbooks and on my publications in general.
Also for the first time, I entered (and won!) a song-writing contest, sponsored by Woodview Coffee House. Details here.
My novelette "Flotsam" (Asimov's, Oct./Nov. 2009) made the recommended reading list in The Year's Best Science Fiction, 27th Annual Collection. That's the second consecutive year I've made the list.
I've been named to the Broad Universe Motherboard, and am the new chair for the adult contests of the Florida State Poets Association. I also have a guest-editing stint coming up -- stay tuned!
In addition to participating in Post A Story For Haiti, I this year joined Shadow Forest Authors as a book donor. (I also marked my one-year anniversary of being a book donor for Operation E-Book Drop and Books For Soldiers.)
Additional publications in 2010 include:
Fiction and micro-fiction:
"Judgment at Naioth" in She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror (Dybbuk Press, October).
"Icarus Redux" in Niteblade, June.
Micro-fiction "Heisenberg's Metamorphosis," "Bittersweet," and "Fierce Harvest" in PicFic, Sept. 6.
Micro-fiction "Empty Nest" in PicFic, May 18.
Micro-fiction in Thaumatrope, Feb. 12.
"Duet Singularity" and "Ciliate Sestina" in Star*Line 33(5/6). "Ciliate Sestina" was named Editor's Choice.
"Far From Free Association" in the open-mic section of Poets for Living Waters, a poetry action in response to the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Evolutionary Variants on a Russian Proverb" in Star*Line 33(4), along with my write-up of the speculative poetry workshop I gave at Ancient City Con IV (and Edward Cox's review of my 30 Science Sonnets).
"Pele's Wandering Fire" in Of Poets And Poetry, June. This poem also received second prize in the Spring Fling contest, Florida State Poets Association.
microcosms on May 17, August 12, and November 22.
"Nor'easter Requiem" in unFold, April 23.
"Total Lunar Eclipse" in Astropoetica, Spring (reprint).
"Butterfly Woman" (text and audio) in Goblin Fruit, Winter.
Thanks also to artist Paul Vincenti, who posted my sonnet "A Meeting of the Arts" to go with his painting "Ballerina."
Print: "Downrange: Elissa Malcohn" appears in the inaugural issue of Valent Range, Summer.
Online: I was interviewed by Trisha Wooldridge (Jul. 31; to benefit the Bay State Equine Rescue); Tracy S. Morris (Sept. 15); and Jane Hunter (Nov. 7).
Podcast: Conversations Live! on March 3; That Sci-Fi Show on Oct. 9 (my segment begins about 20 minutes in).
More Audio
You can hear me reading an excerpt from Appetite in the Broadpod (Episode 2: Women's History) and my poems "Neighbors" and "Eye of the Beholder" in Episode 5: Humor. I reprise "Neighbors" in the Science Fiction Poetry Association Halloween Reading.
More Online Writing
This year I began writing book reviews for Psych Central. Two have been posted so far, for Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers (Karyl McBride, Ph.D.) and The Use of Technology in Mental Health: Applications, Ethics and Practice (Kate Anthony et al.). Two more reviews are currently in submission.
"Visitations" in Jack-o'-Spec: Tales of Halloween and Fantasy, Raven Electrick Ink.
"Shrine to the Disconnected" in Dreams and Nightmares #90.
"The Last Dragon Slayer" in Mythic Delirium #24.
"Far From the Pleasure Garden" in A Sea of Alone: Poems for Alfred Hitchcock, Dark Scribe Press.
My events this year were all Florida-based and included the Florida State Poets Association Spring Fling (Hernando), Oasis 23 (Orlando), Ancient City Con IV (Jacksonville), Deep Carnivale (Tampa), Spooky Empire (Orlando), and Necronomicon 29 (St. Petersburg), along with author fairs at the Land O'Lakes Library and the Hudson Regional Library. As in past years, I was a panelist in the three-part NaNoWriMo series at the Citrus County Library, which also held its inaugural author fair this year. Online, I participated in Coyote Con. Click here to get more details about past events and here for more info on what's coming up. Thanks to all the volunteers and staff who made these events possible and to everyone who stopped by my panels, workshops, and tables!
I've been trying to hammer a gaggle of ideas into shape that include a couple of nonfiction projects. To prepare for one of them, I've begun to transcribe dozens of tapes of conversation. I've transferred the audio from cassette to digital and am using the awesome freeware Express Scribe. I make part of my living from transcribing and have done so for decades, so this kind of activity comes naturally.
2. Visual
Thanks to the Marine Society of Australasia for using my photo of a crab spider (taken in 2005) in their publication The World of Crabs.
Here are links to my Top 10 favorite shots/videos of 2010:
10. Moon Over St. Petersburg (Oct. 25). I spotted this sight as I walked from a parking garage to the Bayside Hilton, where I was attending Necronomicon. I had taken this shot freehand at night, using a 1/40-second exposure at f4.
9. Passionflower (Oct. 5). An unusual and stunning flower native to the Southeastern U.S., seen in my neighborhood.
8. Great Egret 5 (June 10). I snapped this shot just as the egret was taking off from a retention pond about a mile from my home. New construction subsequently placed a fence around the pond, which was dredged and rebuilt. I'll miss taking my camera down to the water's edge.
7. Persephone's Dream (Dec. 28), a photo collage I made using a couple of pomegranate shots.
6. Lycosid With Spiderlings 4 (Nov. 3), taken inside my garage. Female Wolf Spiders (Family Lycosidae) carry their young on their back. Unless you feel as I do about spiders, you won't find this a pretty picture. I was fascinated by the sight -- and enchanted.
5. Mating Dragonflies (Nov. 24). Catching this pair was a case of sheer luck that consisted of looking up at the right moment and having my camera strapped to me. I had just stepped out of Mary's Ranger and into the parking lot at the mall.
4. Male Luna Moth, series 1 (Sept. 9). I had never seen a Luna Moth in person until this day and had been aching to encounter one. This one made its appearance at a strip mall.
3. Southern Black Racer (Aug. 10). This photo just edges out my Luna Moth series for the #3 spot. For years I had wanted to photograph both these creatures. I had seen black racers before, but they'd always been too fast for me, until this shot taken at the same retention pond where I'd photographed the egret.
2. The Pane of Separation (Sept. 13), a could'a-been-close encounter between an anole and a fly, with a window between them. I took this shot at a McDonald's in the same strip mall where I'd seen the luna moth.
1. Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse, December 21, 2010 (video). As I spent the night taking these 89 photos from my driveway, I thought it a propos that my poem "Total Lunar Eclipse" had been reprinted this year (see above). The eclipse of the poem had occurred on July 6, 1982, eight days before my mother's death. I was living in New York at the time, but had come down here and had spent the night watching the eclipse from this same house.
3. Etc.
Various challenges marked 2010, but the hardest emotionally for Mary and me was the death of our 18-year-old cat, Daisy, from kidney failure in April. Daisy joined her buddy Red, who had passed two years earlier at 16.
We raised the roof in March -- and lowered a new one into place, which got rid of our pesky ceiling-spotting problem.
In May, following the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, I joined others in Citrus County participating in the Matter of Trust Hair for Oil Spills Program. My own hair donation marked the first time I'd had a haircut since the 1970s (I've enjoyed the cut so much I've kept it). In addition to collecting and shipping hair and fur, I traveled to Tampa to participate in a "BoomBQ" to make the hair booms themselves.
In September I added my video to the It Gets Better Project, started by Dan Savage in response to LGBT teen suicides. This year, Mary and I also became involved with our local Gay-Straight Alliance.
This has been a good year for me health-wise. In 2010 I dropped 20+ pounds, with concurrent decreases in my blood glucose and cholesterol. My main tool was keeping a food journal. The most influential change in my diet was eating less cheese. I plan to continue the trend in 2011.
May the New Year bring blessings for all. Stay safe and warm out there.

Skateboarding In The Eighties To The Present by:Kadence Buchanan
Skateboarding traces its roots to the seventies but it really reached the peak ofits popularity in the mid-eighties to the present when major skateboard manufacturers propelled it to new heights. First, they started with half-pipe and vert ramp skateboarding. The manufacturers upgraded the boards to make their decks very wide and to equip them with larger and wider wheels.
As the years went by, the focus shifted to street skateboarding, which brought about a few changes in deck shape and wheel size. With the growing popularity of street skating, new stars rose to prominence, such as Mark Gonzales, one of street skating's pioneers. Gonzales is recognized as one of the first skateboarders to ollie up a curb and to clear a set of stairs. By this time, manufacturers had shifted their focus to maple plywood over more exotic composite materials. Concave decks were now everywhere.
Today's current generation of skateboarders usually ride on boards that are about 7 to 8 inches wide and 30 to 32 inches long. The wheels now are made with a hard durometer (approximately 99a), which provide a faster ride because it reduces the drag on surfaces that are hard. Wheels are now smaller and the boards are lighter, which makes it easier to make difficult tricks. Today's wheels are only about 48 to 58 mm in diameter and they are as light as they have ever been thanks to advances in skateboarding technology. Meanwhile, the majority of decks are made out of Canadian Maple and the industry standard is the 7 ply because of its increased strength and durability.
Historically, most keen observers of the sport note that the styles of skateboards changed a lot from the 1970s but have been mostly the same since the dawn of the nineties. The shape of today's contemporary skateboards assumes the design of freestyle boards from the eighties, with a symmetrical shape and a narrower width than previous skateboards.
These observers also note that the popularity of ramp or vert skatebaording was overtaken by street skateboarding in the nineties. With today's freestyle techniques, the practice of skateboarding has risen to new heights and new stars are emerging all the time. But throughout it all, the ollie has remained as the base of many of today's tricks.

The latest volume in MSU (Mehrsprachigkeit in Schule und Unterricht, Vo. 14) is now ready for delivery:
Content and Language Integrated Learning in Europe (CLIL) – Research Perspectives on Policy and Practice, edited by Stephan Breidbach & Britta Viebrock (2013, Peter Lang Publishers).
Here is an adapted excerpt from the cover text:
CLIL has received a strong tailwind in European educational and language policies. However, an overly speedy implementation of CLIL 'for all' carries many uncharted risks for all groups of stakeholders. The purpose of this book is to link the growing empirical knowledge about the full complexity of CLIL to the current European educational and language policies.
This bi-lingual volume (English/German) brings together authors from several European countries to present significant findings from recent CLIL research in the light of the developments in education policy. The four parts of the book focus on the reconstruction of learning processes, learner achievement, investigations of the concept of CLIL, and critical reflections on the current "CLIL boom".
Contributors from Langscape:
Stephan Breidbach, Daniela Elsner, Özlem Etus, Marie-Anne Hansen-Pauly, Katja Lochtman and Britta Viebrock.
A preview of the table of content will follow here, soon.
Please consider recommending the volume for purchase to your librarian. Direct orders can be placed with Peter Lang Publishers.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said definitively Thursday that he has not had a conversation with anyone at Kasowitz Benson Torres, the law firm founded by President Donald Trump's personal attorney, about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"The answer is no," Kavanaugh said at the end of another tense exchange with Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California.
Harris, often mentioned as a possible 2020 presidential candidate, had pressed Kavanaugh on Wednesday, and the nominee had said he was unsure. Thursday, Harris noted that the exchange had generated headlines and said she had "reliable information" that there had been a conversation.
"I'm sure you've noticed your lack of a clear answer to a question I asked you last night has generated a lot of interest," Harris told Kavanaugh on Thursday. "I received reliable information that you had a conversation about the special counsel or his investigation with the law firm that has represented President Trump."
Harris did not offer any proof to back up her assertion and moved on to other topics.
"Thank you. And it would have been great if you could have said that last night. Thank you," she said.
Earlier Thursday, Kavanaugh testified that he hasn't had any "inappropriate" conversations about the special counsel's Russia investigation "with anyone," adding he doesn't "recall any conversations of that kind with anyone" at Kasowitz Benson Torres.
"I don't recall any conversations of that kind with anyone at that law firm," Kavanaugh said. "I haven't had any inappropriate conversations about that investigation with anyone."
The law firm also issued a statement to CNN, saying there have been no discussions between anyone there and Kavanaugh about Mueller.
"There have been no discussions regarding Robert Mueller's investigation between Judge Kavanaugh and anyone at our firm," the law firm said.
Speaking to reporters, Harris had pushed back against the law firm's statement denying any conversations were had with Kavanaugh.
"They're not under oath," she told CNN.
Asked if she didn't believe them, Harris said again, "They're not under oath. The question was asked under oath."
Currently a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the DC circuit, Kavanaugh, 53, was nominated to the Supreme Court by Trump in July to replaced retired Justice Anthony Kennedy. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, he could establish a conservative majority on the nation's highest court for decades.

Sound, time and self, moving through the aural landscape explores the interactions of perceptions of sound to the notion of silence, the heard and not-heard, as dynamic relations that influence the space of sound.
In a quest to encounter silence and understand the relationships formed by the body, sound and space, I have used both an anechoic chamber where silence is recorded only as a measurement of self and lookedbelow the surface of the earth where the usual criteria that measure time such as sun, moon, temperature and everyday routines of human and animal, are rendered ineffective. Underground, sound comes from within one's own body often accompanied by the sound of dripping water. While sound is durational, so the time water takes to percolate underground bears no relation to the hearing of its happening above ground. A drop of rain on the surface may take 1 minute, 1 year or a thousand years to reach a particular point underground, gathering as it does, fragments of rock and dust causing the chemical reactions that result in stalagmites and stalactites. Thus, the measurement of time can be seen as only relevant to the constructed world. Applying this to sound, the duration of a sonic experience is directly related to the trajectory of the body only in so far as to its mechanical nature. It can be said that sound relates to our perception of the space of our daily lives and also our experiences within and without that space. Silence is included as a composite part of that sonic experience which brings with it ideas of time and also flow.
Therefore, my argument is that the construct of time, closely linked to the routines of our daily life, becomes an anomaly when experienced in the space of underground and constructed silent spaces. This indicates that the intricate layering of sound, human experience and space is directly related to the moment and creates a sonic landscape governed by natural and unnatural events.

The College Council has approved a balanced budget for 2013 with the annual membership fee unchanged at $138.
Council decisions that resulted from the LeSage report have had a major impact on this year's budget. Many recommendations had no cash costs but two in particular had significant costs associated with them — increasing the number of disciplinary hearings to provide timely adjudication of cases, and communicating the College's mandate to the public.
These two Council decisions added close to $2 million to a budget that had very little cushion in it. "The committee and staff worked together trying to fit these new demands into a limited budget," said Finance Committee Chair Marie-Louise Chartrand. "Many important initiatives had to be postponed or scaled back."
The College is increasing the number of disciplinary hearings from 50 in past years to 75 in 2013. This level of activity is expected to continue for up to four years.
Revenues are declining as fewer individuals apply for membership at the College. Almost 90 per cent of the College revenues come from annual membership fees.
Close to 80,000 College members — a vital and critical component of the overall membership — pay their fees directly rather than through an employer and account for $8.6 million of College revenue.
"To fund the new demands, the College needed to utilize the reserves that were just being rebuilt," said Deputy Registrar Joe Jamieson, OCT. "Although the reserves were used exactly as intended, to fund unplanned and unexpected costs, it still leaves the College with backup resources lower than we would wish."
Revenues and expenses for 2013 are balanced at $36,858,000.
The same budget goals that guided the first Council applied to the 2013 budget:
- that services be adequately funded with appropriate attention to economy, efficiency and effectiveness

Maria Spada, designer
Question #1:
Hi! I'm Maria Spada, 28 years, and my life revolves around books. I am not just a book cover designer, but I am also a book seller and collector. I began doing digital work at age 15 when I discovered Photoshop by accident. I was self-taught, did a lot of practice and failed a lot of times as well. I initially worked as a freelance graphic artist--doing logos, banners and many other stuff. I only started designing book covers in 2015 when my writer friend asked me to recreate her covers, which was something I immediately loved. I dropped my other jobs and officially became a freelance book cover designer.
To me, book covers are everything! If your cover looks like a hot mess, I guarantee you, many will pass you over. It has to practically captivate and entrance. So this month, I reached out to two premade book cover designers. I wanted to know why they do what they do for us authors and a little about themselves.
This is my official motto!
When I saw the tee online, I knew I had to have the shirt. I've owned it for at least three years since, only wearing it once or twice a year. That's what I do with all my author, British and Church tees. I know- silly, but they have to stay in great condition. So what's any of this got to do with being an author or writing? I'll share it with you. Mostly in a usual blog, but the rest will be in the vlog you see below.
Check it out! I made a video on November 1st to celebrate National Author's Day. It was fun, laborious and very productive, if I should say so myself. "wink" Know this- I am not perfect. LOL
Who Am I?
My name's Alyssa and I'm just like you. Within me are stories, looking to be told. I do my best to relay them to the public, as magically as possible.
June 2019

The General Electric (GE) H turbine system in Wales is designed to be 60% thermally efficient. The Welsh installation will serve as a springboard for two other installations, planned for New York State and Tokyo, so that the technology will span three continents. The 480-megawatt H system in Wales is designed to be the first gas turbine combined-cycle system in the world to achieve 60% thermal efficiency. The main advantage provided by efficiency is economic, because fuel represents the largest single expense in running a fossil-fueled power plant. GE engineers based much of the H design on proven turbine technology, starting with the high-pressure compressors. Another advantage GE intends to stress in marketing its H turbines, along with fuel economy and environmental performance, is their greater power density.
This summer, on an aging industrial site in South Wales, a breakthrough in energy efficiency may take place, when the first General Electric Power Systems H turbine system begins operating. The H turbine is designed to be 60 percent thermally efficient, long considered the four-minute mile of power generation. The Welsh installation will serve as a springboard for two other installations, planned for New York State and Tokyo, so that the technology will span three continents.
The 480-megawatt H system in Wales is designed to be the first gas turbine combined-cycle system in the world to achieve 60 percent thermal efficiency. At the same time, it will produce fewer emissions than conventional combined-cycle plants. The main advantage provided by efficiency is economic, because fuel represents the largest single expense in running a fossil-fueled power plant. A single percentage point of efficiency gained can reduce operating costs by 15 million to $20 million over the life of a typical, gas-fired combined-cycle plant rated at 400 to 500 MW, according to an original equipment manufacturer quoted in Cas 1/lrbiHe World's 2000-2001 handbook. GE Power Systems' most advanced gas turbines to date, the F series, top out at 57 to 58 percent combined-cycle thermal efficiency.
GE is developing the facility in Baglan Bay, Wales, on property leased from British Petroleum. The plant will supply electricity and steam to commercial and industrial facilities being developed in the new Baglan Bay Energy Park. Excess power will be sold to the United Kingdom's electric market.
Restoring Baglan Bay
The Baglan Bay Energy Park is the first phase of a local redevelopment and, at some 1,500 acres, the site is believed to be one of the largest single areas of industrial development in Britain. The energy park is being jointly developed by a public/private sector partnership, namely, BP plc, the Welsh Development Agency, and the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council.
BP has processed petrochemicals at part of the site since the early 1960s. A single 98-MW plant, originally oil-fired, but now gas-fueled, provided sufficient electricity and steam for the processing plants that operated at Baglan Bay.
The Baglan Bay chemical complex eventually declined in importance, due mainly to the discovery of gas and oil deposits under the North Sea, which lies off the far side of Britain. By 2000, the site was dedicated to the production of vinyl acetate, ethanol, and isopropanol.
By last February, the vinyl acetate and ethanol plants had closed, as BP shifted production to its facility in Hull, leaving only the isopropanol plant open at Baglan Bay. The chemical is used in formulating deicing compounds, industrial solvents, and some pharmaceuticals. The plant employs about 50 people. The workforce is a shadow of the more than 2,000 who worked for BP at Baglan Bay in the 1970s.
As BP cut back its operations at Baglan Bay, excess electricity generated by its power plant was exported to the local grid. In 1996, BP committed itself to a partnership with local authorities to revitalize the brownfield. The planners reasoned that on-site power generation would eliminate transmission and distribution costs, taking as much as 30 percent off electricity bills, and provide an incentive to attract industrial companies to the site.
South Wales would also benefit from additional electrical capacity. The region has been strapped for power since older coal and oil-fired power plants were decommissioned in the 1990s for environmental reasons.
Closing the old plant and switching to the world 's first H turbine system will not only increase available power, but also will reduce the environmental friendliness of the Baglan Bay site. According to BP, emissions of carbon dioxide will fall by 64 percent, emissions of nitrogen oxide by 88 percent, and sulfur oxide emissions by 99.9 percent. Particulate emissions will be eliminated entirely, BP adds.
The BP site at Baglan Bay offered a number of advantages for the location of a power station. Its size could easily accommodate a large, gas-fueled power plant. It is within 12 kilometers of the national gas transmission system., so a fuel source is near at hand. Cooling water is guaranteed from the Tennant and Neath canals nearby. Proximity to the national energy grid offers a ready market for excess power generated during off-peak periods.
Hi-Lex Cable Systems Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of flexible linear control cables, window regulators, and sunroofs for European carmakers, started operations in the Energy Park's first factory, the Gateway Development, in June 2000. A second factory, called Astral Court, is scheduled to be completed this month.
Using Steam to Keep Cool
While BP and its development partners were working on their plans, GE developed the H system as part of the U. S. Department of Energy's Advanced Turbine System program.
GE designed and built two models-a 60-Hz version called the 7H, and the 50-Hz 9H, which is the one being installed in Wales. They share similar designs and capabilities. Both derive their performances from their advanced materials and a new steam cooling system that enables the H gas turbines to operate at 2,600°F, or about 1,400°C, firing temperature, more than 200°F, or some 110°C, above previous-generation F technology gas turbines, to increase thermal efficiency to 60 percent.
The combined-cycle system consists of a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator, and a steam turbine. The gas turbine is equipped with an 18-stage compressor, a can-annular dry 10w-NOx combustion system and a four-stage turbine.
GE engineers based much of the H design on proven turbine technology, starting with the high-pressure compressors. The H compressors were based on the compressor that GE designed for the CF6-80C2 aircraft engine and its industrial aeroderivative LM6000 gas turbine. The 9H compressor has a 23:1 pressure ratio and a 1,510-pound-per-second (685-kilogram-per-second) airflow. The 7H turbine has a 23:1 pressure ratio with a 1,230 pps (558 kg/s) airflow.
The H system's dry combustion system premixes fuel and air prior to ignition to generate no more than 9 parts per million of NO x for the 7H, and 25 ppm for the 9H. This emissions control system has logged millions of hours of service on other GE turbines around the world.
However, in a major departure from most gas turbines, the H system will use steam to cool the first- and second-stage nozzles and buckets. Typically, gas turbines use air for combustion and to cool the turbine nozzles and buckets. Closed loop steam cooling reduces the temperature drop across the cooled part, allowing more energy to be used efficiently to generate electricity.
Also, steam cooling makes more air available to expand and produce work through the turbine stages, reducing what is traditionally labeled as "chargeable air."
The H turbine uses tubular seals called "spoolies" to deliver and return the steam to the rotating buckets of the first and second stages. Spoolies have been used for years on GE aircraft engines. According to GE, engineers have conducted more than 50 component tests on H turbine spoolies to evaluate coating, lateral loads, fits, axial motion, angular motion, temperature, and surface finish.
After passing through the H turbine's nozzles and buckets, the steam, with the thermal energy it picks up from the gas turbine, is recycled back to the heat recovery steam generator. Thus, the H turbine serves as a reheater for the bottoming cycle. In the third stage, the H turbine's nozzles and buckets are air cooled, and the fourth stage is uncooled.
The first single-shaft, 50-Hz MS9001H gas turbine was built by GE in Greenville, S.c., and is 12 meters long, 5 meters in diameter, and weighs 370 U.S. tons. The company said it is unaware of a larger turbine.
In addition to providing steam cooling, GE engineers made the H turbine's first-stage buckets and nozzles out of proprietary, single-crystal materials to withstand the rugher temperatures. "We then applied a dense, vertically cracked thermal barrier coating to increase their heat resistance," said Chris Maslak, a mechanical engineer and H product line leader at GE.
GE shipped the 9H turbine to Wales in December 2000. Its 480-MW generating capacity is sufficient to provide electricity to approximately 600,000 homes in Britain.
The Baglan Bay turbine will run in cooperation with a GE Dl0 steam turbine. This three-admission reheat turbine with a 33 1/3- inch last-stage bucket is used in many GE combined-cycle systems. The steam and gas cycles cooperate in the same way as other GE advanced singleshaft combined-cycle systems-that is, by solid coupling the gas turbine to the steam turbine and steam turbine to the generator.
"The gas turbine 's thrust bearing carries the thrust load, and because the system is optimized for combined cycle operation, there is no need for additional hardware, such as a clutch, which would increase the plant's footprint," Maslak said.
NEM of Leiden, the Netherlands, built the heat recovery steam generator, or HRSG, for the 9H at Baglan Bay. This three-pressure-level unit can reach 12.4 megapascals, with both main steam and reheat steam at 565°C.
The Baglan Bay steam generator is similar to the NEM units used on GE 9FA and 7FA gas turbines serving in other combined-cycle applications, with a few key differences. "For one, it is larger, to accommodate the greater exhaust flow of the H turbine," Maslak noted. "Conversely, because of the heat it picks up from the gas turbine during cooling, its reheater is relatively smaller."
In addition to the 480-MW H turbine system, GE has another power system at the Baglan Bay power plant. "We have installed a 33-MW, LM2500 gas turbine-based, supplementary fired cogeneration system to send steam to the Baglan Bay Energy Park," Maslak said. "It shares the same chimney as the H system, but uses a separate flue."
GE Distributed Power, a unit of GE Power Systems, designed and built a unique 2.3-MW diesel generator set to provide auxiliary power to the 9H turbine system. The auxiliary genset will also assist with starting the 9H without tapping into the electrical grid.
Engineers built the genset package for the Baglan Bay installation on a common base frame. The package includes a GE Transportation Systems 7FDS 16-cylinder diesel engine rated at 3,830 continuous base horsepower and an engine-generator control panel that was designed by GE Industrial Systems. The genset is able to provide stable power within 12 seconds of startup.
During the third quarter of this year, the entire H turbine system will begin characterization testing to validate its long-term capabilities, using standard devices, such as thermocouples and speed pickups, and specialized instruments, including strain gauges and light probes. "We have installed approximately 3,000 pieces of special instrumentation on the H turbine itself, and more than 7,400 instruments plantwide that will be used during testing," Maslak said.
The first 60-Hz installation of H technology has been planned much closer to the Schenectady, N.Y., headquarters of GE Power Systems, at the 800-MW Heritage Station being built in Scriba, N.Y., in Oswego County on the bank of Lake Ontario. The plant's owner, Sithe Energies Inc., is an independent power producer based in New York City. It operates 40 plants in the Northeast that generate more than 11 ,000 MW.
Sithe Energies is building the Heritage plant alongside its 46-acre Independence Station in Scriba, which supplies the plant's feed water. The Independence Station produces 1,040 MW Sithe Energies sells electricity produced at Scriba to the local utility, Niagara Mohawk, and to the downstate utility Consolidated Edison. The additional electricity and steam produced by Independence Station are sold to nearby Alcan Rolled Products, which manufactures aluminum sheets.
The H turbine installation was originally scheduled to begin this spring, but has been delayed because of changes in the "spark spread," or the difference between the cost of natural gas and the price of electricity.
Should the economics for the Heritage Station improve, the installation will consist of two 400-MW 7H systems. They will be connected to steam turbines and electric generators built by Toshiba in Keihin, Japan, under the terms of a previous agreement with GE. NEM will again supply the heat recovery steam generators.
The third announced H turbine installation will represent the largest such installation and the first in Asia. The Tokyo Electric Power Co., more familiarly known as TEPCO, has commissioned GE Power Systems to design and build a 1,S20-MW H system combined cycle plant at TEPCO's Futtsu Thermal Power Station Group No. 4 project, which is scheduled to begin operation by 2008 .
TEPCO is one of the largest utilities in the world, producing 60 gigawatts, and is GE's largest customer. Futtsu No. 4 will be the fifth combined-cycle system GE has built for TEPCO. Earlier-generation GE gas turbines are already in service at the Futtsu site. Futtsu No. 1 and 2 are equipped with GE's 9E technology, and Futtsu No. 3 features 9FA technology.
Under terms of the agreement, GE will supply TEPCO with three 9H combined-cycle systems. As the prime contractor for the Futtsu No. 4 project, GE will build the three 9H gas turbines. Toshiba Corp. will build the gas turbine compressors, steam turbines, and generators under the terms of a separate agreement with GE.
The heat recovery steam generators, selective catalytic reduction systems, and accessory equipment for the Futtsu No. 4 project will be built by Toshiba Corp. and Hitachi Ltd. of Tokyo.
GE will begin shipping equipment by April 2006 and expects to have the first unit in operation in mid-2008, joined by the other two H systems by mid-2010.
Another advantage GE intends to stress in marketing its H turbines, along with fuel economy and environmental performance, is their greater power density, according to Maslak. "When the H technology plants are compared to F technology combined-cycle plants, you can install about 45 percent more megawatt capacity per square foot. This provides significant value to customers where space is at a premium."

|Skokoff website
The free tour on Skokoff was outstanding in that you could browse through a full list of all 76 of the models that appear on the site. This was far from being the only thing available on the tour though and it really was a fantastic introduction to the site. The members' area opts for much the same layout, design and navigation and it works quite splendidly. Each model has her own section with a short biography (could maybe do more with these) and all of the galleries and videos are dated. I didn't see any previews of upcoming updates though so this may be about the only missing feature on the site.
The photo galleries options were fantastic. Each gallery has three different sizes for each photo and has three different corresponding .ZIP file downloads to match. The very highest resolution photos on this site are sized at 4300p. The videos were very well presented too with .WMV, .MOV and .AVI formats all supported and videos sized at a high definition 1280x720px. The only complaint I would have is that all downloads are full file and can take a while. There are 76 models in all, adding up to approximately 200 photo galleries (35,000+ images) and 26 videos. Updates are made three times per week on average.
For as long as we have sites like Skokoff.com, we will seemingly always have beautiful new European models to enjoy! With the emphasis here being on 'girls next door' and models that are largely unseen prior to their debuts on this site, don't be at all surprised to see the next new big European stars appearing on this site. The photography here is so impressive that the girls almost cannot fail to look great.
With artistic set-ups that take in great landscapes and superb interior backdrops too, this is very much at the more art-based end of the glamour photography niche. The emphasis is on beauty and on the models being encouraged to discover themselves. The content stays softcore and doesn't really need to break out of that stance as far as I'm concerned. One or two models quite notably stand out for me - not just for their looks but for their poise. I'd be very surprised if we don't see more of Anita and Jana especially. The high definition videos and photos look amazing too.
$ 14.95 for 1 Month ( Rebills at $24.95 every Month )

Skokoff.com does come from a genre that will be very familiar to all of you and is a site that does not have its strengths based in brand new ideas. Its strengths instead lie in brand new models and there are some genuinely erotic and gifted ladies here waiting to be discovered. The photography is exceptionally good even by the sometimes high standard of this niche, the high definition presentation compliments it very well indeed, and this is a high class all-round site.

Customer Reviews
Sooo delicious!
The espresso fruits and greens are SO GOOD. I have bought other brands that I tossed because the taste was so bad. I mix this with water in a shaker cup, pour over ice and it tastes like I'm treating myself.
I add the fruit and greens in with the NutriDyn chocolate protein powder and it tastes great! I ordered the to-go fruit and greens sampler and have tried all of the flavors. Chocolate peppermint is my favorite in a smoothie or protein coffee smoothie. Strawberry kiwi and pink lemonade are my favorite in water. This powder is a great way to know you are getting enough fruits and veggies!
