In this instructable we will go over how to construct an at-home version of a photo-bioreactor which will use solar energy and artificial lighting with carbon dioxide to produce algae biomass.
The aim of this project is to create an model which harbors an ecosystem fit to help us escape a fossil fuel economy. We are in an era that is experiencing a shift from humanity trying to dominate nature, to then trying to preserve parts of nature and now trying to reach a reconciliation with nature. This is the algae experiment; an idea that is trying to move away from a linear wasteful and polluting way of using resources to a closed loop system where all resources are kept in a closed loop cycle.
Check it out working.

For more info or to get in touch you can reach me at
Step 1: Shape, size & materiality
I was thinking of getting a UV tube light, a 3"X(uv tube)" and a 5"X(uv tube)" lengths of plastic (UV resistant) or glass pipes. With a mirror to reflect any excess light. The bubblier for CO2 at the bottom and O2 extracter at the top (I will need to look into this). Any reason this shouldn't work? Why are you using a series of small pipes instead of one large tank? Should I base a design off of a series of smaller pipes instead of one sheathed tank?
If you would like to read more I have published a paper on the whole project on issuu.
I've been looking at using the extracted algae oil (and any other cheap and/or waste veg or animal oil/fat triglyceride) as 'green diesel', different from 'biodiesel'.
Biodiesel is typically fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), made by reacting veg oil with lye (hydroxide) and methanol, yielding stuff that can be used in place of diesel fuel. Advantage: easy to convert in a backyard barrel, good lubricating properties; Disadvantage: can 'gum up' due to other double bonds elsewhere in the fatty chain, like varnish, thus destroying most fuel injectors, pumps, etc. Also, a more powerful solvent than regular diesel, so need viton fuel lines, gaskets, etc., and better fuel filters because the FAME tends to dissolve all the crud in the tanker, storage tank, transfer lines, your fuel tank, sending all the gunk straight to your filter, or worse, injectors. Nasty.
'Green diesel' is diesel made from renewable sources like veg oil. Can be made by hydrotreating veg oil using a Ni-Mo catalyst at maybe 300'C and 50 Atm pressure, not unlike making margarine, but more so. Adv: very high 'cetane' rating (like 'octane' for petrol / gasoline) at maybe 95 cf. 'regular' diesel at 51 cetane rating. Can therefore be used to blend into low grade diesel. Hydrotreating with hydrogen gas can fully saturate double bonds in the fatty chain that would otherwise lead to gumming up.
Oh, yeah, great that you're using the natural floatation of the algae to enrich for species / strains that yield lots of oil and oxygen! Ideally the whole reactor tube system would use both the thermosiphon effect (heating up on exposure to sunlight) and the decrease in cell density due to oil and gas accumulation to help circulate the algae through the pipes.
Keep us all posted on how it's going, m0uch!
PS, would it ice up in winter over your way?
Lots of good additional information for an already great Instructable - thanks!
I was wondering about people running used fryer oil from restaurants in their diesel powered cars; as I understand it, all they generally do is filter it to remove food particles. From what you say, though, it seems that if they used fresh veggy oil they would run into problems. Is the fryer oil actually improved because it's used? I'm guessing something like the high heat and the H2O boiling off from the food while it's cooking is doing something to modify the oil's composition? If so, that's pretty cool that you get two uses out of a renewable resource, with the first use improving it for the second use! (Unlike diesel, which no one wants their fries boiled in :-)
I had to look it up. It's funny, what they told me at uni years ago was that fats/oils get hydrogenated or at least lose their polyunsaturated 'goodness' after being heated for a while... i.e., used for cooking.
So my lecturer in biochem reckoned that polyunsat oils were really no better than sat fats like palm oil, coconut oil, etc.
However, this was at odds with what I also knew from chem eng in that hydrogenation, to be efficient, requires higher temps (300'C), pressures (2.5 atm), H2 gas, a catalyst like Nickel or Copper complexes on a silica or alumina (or both) support (really just wee ceramic beads usually).
Here! http://www.brevardbiodiesel.org/iv.html
The Iodine value is an indication of how unsaturated the oil is, and usually equated with how unstable it is, but others have indicated this is not always the case. An unstable oil is not what you want to put through your high pressure common rail fuel system and injectors, esp. if running a sweeeeet sweet VW golf series5 2.0 L TDI... as I am ;-)
The common rail system gets up to over 1000 atm, a recipe for all sorts of chemical craziness to bust out.
Does look like the longer an oil is used for cooking, the more 'burnt' and partially oxidised it normally becomes, but not nec. a great reduction in the double-bonds that are the 'unsaturated' or high Iodine number factors that I thought would lead to chemical unstability, gelling, gumming of the injectors, burning / coking of the injectors and cylinders, etc.
Personally, before I stick it into my sweet ride, you test it on yours and let me know how you go (and IF you go) ;-)
Otherwise, I've been toying with the idea of using hydrogenation reactors and Ni-Mo catalysts to clean up algae oil, waste veg oil, grease trap gunk, and turn it into chemically stable fully saturated and low S, O, P, N oil more like petroleum derived diesel, or 'green diesel' rather than 'biodiesel' fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
Cool model, and nice instructable! could you share a little more on why you made this bioreactor?
Overall I wanted create a piece which would be able to show people that anyone could start growing algae for the purpose of bio-fuels at home. This is not to say that it's either easy nor 100% feasible however it did provide food for thought for the people who attended the exhibition which I hosted in the UK.
I know the extraction part is the 'hardest' part although growing the algae in large, effective quantities in itself is the first step..
Could the algae and their byproduct not be used as a free fertilizer? I assume that the algae would be a great form of biomass and the natural gas byproduct would be full of nitrogen?
Instead of fueling a car your fueling your home garden.
Please let me know if i'm out to lunch or bang on?
If i'm right I guess this is food for thought?
Yes the algae can be used for diverse reasons, although once used for its oil extracting purposes it can also be used as something else, usually livestock food because it is rich in nutrients. However, as I am not a scientist I cannot confirm about your nitrogen query. I will look into it and reply back.
Use of human wastes and effluent could work, but tends to have too much Sodium and not enough Potassium. Use of a worm farm and composting from garden, market and agricultural waste can work, but does require manual labour and quite a bit of tricky balancing.
In New Zealand, they're using an algae reactor to treat sewage, but will have to wait to see the results in a year or two. Sometimes these things seem OK to begin, but can 'wash out' over time, being overgrown with non-productive organisms, or even 'predator' organisms like Amoebae.
as yeast requires sugar to crate CO2, and in that process it creates alcohol, witch would probably harm algae
but during research I found that Schiochytrium algae would give higher theoretical yield
why aren't you using that algae?
I never came across this strain of algae that you are referring to. However the reason I chose B. Braunii is because from the location I procured the algae from it was either that species or the N.Occulata species and the Braunii typically has very high oil yields as it is. I am in talks though to obtain more strains of algae in order to do further testing. I will look into the Schizochytrium strain. Thank you for the information.
I am starting my bioreactor very soon =D
I am wondering about he design - Wikipedia refers to it as "Tubular photobioreactor", but also it says that it is rather inefficient (when you think about it it is logical as most of CO2 gets used up in first tubes)
so I am trying to avoid that problem, maybe if the air is introduced in multiple points?
Anyway for beginning I believe I'll start with "Bubble column bioreactor"
Elegant solution as to the placement of the tubes to get maximum solar exposure.
Yes, there is some interest in using microalgae to produce oil for biodiesel / green diesel and cosmetics/pharmaceuticals, with the algae cell debris pellet for use as cattle feed. The advantage being that it is some thousands of times more efficient per hectare land area at converting CO2 into biomass than current plant crops. Also, given it is inedible, it does not compete in the 'food-or-fuel' dilemma discussed of palm oil.
Check out MBD Energy for the biosequestration of CO2 from coal fired power station emissions.
Actually, some microalgae *do* fix nitrogen under some conditions, mainly low nitrogen, forming 'heterocysts' or lumps to keep out oxygen that otherwise stuffs up the N fixing enzymes. Anabaena is one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabaena.
Also, one can extract the oil then compost the cell debris and 'recycle' the inorganic nutrients like N, P, K, S, Fe, Mg, etc., but yes the use of fertiliser is a significant energetic input considering about 1% of the world's energy consumption is fixing N via the Haber process.
Er, also, one problem that many algae species suffer is that they don't like really bright light. Ironic, eh?
This might not be such a problem after a couple of weeks of operation as the insides of the tubes will be coated with biofilm and gunk anyway, so it will reduce the amount of light reaching the algae. Use of silicones like silcote can make the insides of the pipes less sticky.
Use of a small solar PV cell to power your pump is good, as also setting it all up as a solar thermosiphon to minimise power consumption from pumping water through a narrow pipe.
Good work! I might give it a go myself!
Thank you for your comment, I hope you do give it a go, I would love to see the result :) Yes you are correct about using the solar PV cell to power the pump, the only reason I did not use it was because of funding issues.
Let me know if you need any help.
Years ago I sketched out an idea for what I called a "Human Nitrogen-Recycling Reactor" (HNRR). Essentially, the idea was to convert human urine into usable nitrogen fertilizer.
For several thousand years, Chinese farmers and gardeners would pour their urine into a barrel to let it "ripen." They would then pour the fertilizer on their intensively-gardened plots. The Chinese who came to California during the Gold Rush, using the same pee barrels, found they could make more money by selling fresh produce, intensively gardened and piss-fertilized, to American miners, some of whom were known to spend a day's worth of gold on a single egg or head of collard greens.
My HNRR would run as a semi-closed system so that the volatile ammonia (readily detectable by the nose) would not be lost. Instead it would be redissolved back into the "effluent" (a reasonable euphemism for piss). The effluent would then be cycled through a medium (plastic balls, gravel, etc.) in which dissolved ammonia would be converted to usable nitrate by ammonia-eating bacteria that naturally take up residence in the medium.
The use of ammonia-loving bacteria (to each his own, I suppose) is the core of the process. That's the already well-proved part--it's how ammonia (toxic to fish) is converted in ordinary aquarium filter pumps to better-tolerated nitrate.
In the HNRR, at some point (not all that long) the batch of piss would be fully reduced to garden-ready liquid fertilizer.
Two issues I never got around to resolving. The first was more psychological than real: it's urine (!!) so how does it not present a health hazard? Tests would have to be made, but frankly I think the high levels of dissolved ammonia present at the beginning of the process would sterilize infectious bacteria and viruses. Those are not typically present in human urine anyway except in the case of an infectious disease such as a cold, flu, or obviously, an infection of the urinary tract.
The other issue was that the reactor would run, by it's nature, in a batch mode rather than a continuous one. That would complicate using the thing. Do you store the pee before running a full batch? Maybe. To make the process continuous end-to-end---dump piss into one end as it's produced in the household and collect converted liquid nitrate fertilizer at the other end--would be a real challenge. It would certainly make the HNRR more complicated (and costly).
I suppose another issue would be how to collect the urine. Chamber pots? Empty milk jugs?
You know, I might just dig out my notes on all that. Nerds like me keep things like that. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'd say collect and pour in till the first batch container is full. Have a few reactors going at the same time. Distillation and crystallization would be an interesting challenge to get solid nitrates. Though separation of the nitrates from the phosphates and other minerals might prove to be a bit of a challenge as well.
I've tried collecting mine for other experiments and have found that milk bottles and Powerade/Gatorade bottles are good to since they have a larger cap and mouth. Makes for an easier fit and less splashing.

The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
Original sin often refers simply to the current state of humanity, in that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Evolution does not raise questions about our current state of sinfulness. It does, however, raise questions about how and when the first sin occurred, and how this fallen state was transmitted to all people. The sciences of evolution and archaeology can provide some insight into these questions but are not equipped to answer them. These questions are theological, and over the centuries the church has considered many possible answers. Some of these options are consistent with the scientific evidence currently available.
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
If the tape was rewound and evolution started over from scratch, Conway Morris says, the evolutionary details would be different, but the end result would be similar: a species characterized by intelligence and complex civilization.
All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."
The tenth anniversary of the human genome has been marked by some striking new genetic insights into human evolution and diversity. Do these new discoveries have any significance for the dialogue between science and religion?
Is the human race descended from one ancestral pair in the recent past? Are we, as C.S. Lewis puts it in his Chronicles of Narnia, the "sons of Adam and daughters of Eve"?
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
What does it mean to be human? For the Christian, the answer is complex. In part, it is a reflection of being created in the image of God. But does the science of human evolution pose a threat to that uniqueness?
They all together cry out in unison with a loud voice—"Created!" However, they also, in a subtle, but persuasive whisper, add the all-important qualifying phrase—"…slowly and not in an instant!"

), to see how easy it is.
Keep reading below to learn more about why the test results matter so much to your health, and exactly what the test reveals.
Why should you test your omega-3/6 levels?
According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Most American diets provide more than 10 times as much omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids. There is general agreement that individuals should consume more omega-3 and less omega-6 fatty acids to promote good health.
For more information, see
Using our Omega 3/6 Balance Scores
America's Sickening "Omega Imbalance
HUFA stands for "highly unsaturated fatty acids" ... namely, the "long-chain" omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids essential to brain, eye, and immune system health.
Our Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ measures the blood levels of these two families of essential nutrients, which play key roles in controlling inflammation and key aspects of brain, cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic health.
To ensure accurate, meaningful results, we partnered with a top fatty acid analyst, trusted by the world's leading omega-3 researchers.
Comprehensive, meaningful results
Your report will contain everything you or your health advisor might want to know about your fatty acid status (see a
sample report here
... requires free
Adobe Reader
It features the two most credible measures of omega-3/6 fat-related risk of death from coronary heart disease:
% Omega-3 in HUFA
% Omega-6 in HUFA
Based on your % Omega-3 in HUFA result, we provide your Vital O-Mega™ Heart Risk Score:
Sample Vital O-Mega Result
Further, we provide several other perspectives on your fats profile ... whose significance we explain in your report:
Omega-3 Index
Total Omega-3s
Total Omega-6s
Omega-3 EPA, DHA, ALA, and DPA
Total Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio
AA/EPA ratio
You'll also see how your key results compare to the U.S. average and to optimal levels.
Finally, we provide a full analysis of the fatty acids in your blood 37 in all as well as the percentages of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and highly unsaturated fatty acids.
Omega-3 Index
versus % Omega-3 in HUFA
Leading fatty acid researchers say that our test's key measure of omega-related heart risk your % Omega-3 in HUFA is more valuable for that purpose than the Omega-3 Index test, which was featured on
the Dr. Oz show on the omega 3/6 balance topic
However, the Omega-3 Index result has real predictive value for heart risks, so we include it in your report.
The Omega-3 Index which is an estimate of the percent of total omega-3s in your red blood cell membranes is mathematically derived from the total omega-3s measured in your blood.
It can be hard to provide a reliably precise Omega-3 Index result for people with elevated blood triglyceride levels.
Which omega-3 and omega-6 HUFA are included in your report?
The five most abundant highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) in human blood and the ones most significant to human health are omega-3 EPA, DHA, and DPA and omega-6 AA and DPA (see "Fatty acid terms", below):
However, your Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ measures and reports the full spectrum of all nine omega-3 and omega-6 HUFA found in human blood.
The following list shows the scientific names (e.g., docosahexaenoic acid) and alpha-numeric identifiers (e.g., 22:6w3) for all nine HUFA, as well as the acronyms (e.g., DHA) commonly used for the five major HUFA:
Omega-3 HUFA covered by your report
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid - 22:6w3) EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid - 20:5w3) DPA (docosapentaenoic acid - 22:5w3) eicosatrienoic acid (20:3w3) eicsoatetraenoic acid (20:4w3)
Omega-6 HUFA covered by your report
AA (arachidonic acid - 20:4w6) di-homo-gamma linolenic acid (20:3w6) adrenic acid (22:4w6) DPA (docosapentaenoic acid - 22:5w6)
Fatty acid terms
DPA is a HUFA that can occur in omega-3 and/or omega-6 forms.
Arachidonic acid (AA) is the highly unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that constitutes most of the omega-6 HUFA found in the average American's blood and cell membranes, with three other omega-6 HUFA (including omega-6 DPA) constituting 10 to 20 percent of the total omega-6 HUFA in blood.
In terms of total omega-6s in blood, polyunsaturated (short-chain) linolenic acid (LA) constitutes 25-30 percent, while AA constitutes 8-14 percent.
nalysis of omega 3 fatty acids is not meant to diagnose, treat, or mitigate disease. Relevant sections of U.S FDA regulations exempt the Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ kit from
approval requirements for medical devices:
Convenience Kits Interim Regulatory Guidance
Medical Device Exemptions 510(k) and GMP Requirements
Under NY State law, any Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ kit intended for use to examine blood from a NY State resident must be ordered by that person's prescribing health care practitioner. And, unless we receive their written release, we can only send the test results to the prescribing practitioner.

What do you think about Volunteering your work to get your name out there?
Is that dirty? Do you think it would be a good idea?
I googled it after I thought of it and it seems a common practice. Of course I did not find anything where a welding business was discussed.
There will be cost to weld for charities. But why not? there are cost for websites, cards and every other type of advertising out there.
I've never seen a discussion on this and just thought I would get it out there and see what others think about it.
On one hand it seems hippacritical (stupid spell check)
and on the other hand it seems very practical and helpful.
I would have to consider this way more than this pop-up thought in my head before getting involved.
Anybody have experience here with it? or just thoughts on it?

Dirty Tactics
We have a non profit here that maintains the cleanliness of our local lake. They are really nice ppl and don't really get a lot of donations but do a great job. I offer them my services for whatever they need( within reason). They in turn put my name and number in their association monthly email and flyer that gets delivered to a of the association members whom own countless docks. Now I don't get every call but when I do they usually say how awesome it is that I do service for them. Advertising to that type of clientele is pretty darn expensive these days. I spend waaaay less in consumables and fuel. Just my $.2.
Don't feel dirty- Volunteers are hard to come by and even though you feel that you are only volunteering to get a payback, your help on whatever project they need still gets done and you might enjoy it and just volunteer to volunteer and you'll get work indirectly through Karma
Other part of the Giving aspect is that charity events also need sponsors and as mentioned, Sponsors, which could be you at whatever level you can contribute- do it for exposure and it usually helps a good cause. This would be buying ad space or donating time/labor/services and you get an ad or a brief mention in the copy.
All non profit donations are a write off.
It is networking also.Ed Conley

The title of this post is poor. Sorry.
I am going to follow up on it locally and see what I can find out. As long as I could get out and help some people, that would be good enough.
I use up so much in consumables every week just welding scrap I might as well try and put some of it towards helping out somewhere.
Just starting to think about it today actually changed my whole reason for asking about it. It is something I should do, maybe it will help later on, maybe not but now that doesn't matter.
You guys are right, thanks for the reply's.

I put in maybe 1,000 hours and hundreds of $ over the span of five years helping our high school FIRST robotics team as a mentor. My kids were on the team, but there was another mentor who did it just because.
I had some great times with the kids and it was rewarding to see some go on to become engineers. I was in charge of the basic drive train platform. It always worked adequately and never had a breakdown. One year we received a Motorola Quality Award.Miller stuff:

USMCPOP, that would consume my life. I wouldn't be able to take myself away from a project like that.
I emailed Habitat For Humanity and let them know I would be willing to volunteer my services. No response just yet, it went out about 4am this morning.
I think I'll hit up the local Public Services Next. The Sheriffs Office,, Law Enforcement Center is one I would like to give back to. Great group of people.
They treat people with respect, unlike some agency's.

Dirty Tactics
We still hv all Volunteer Fire Depts. in our area. I normally donate my work or sometimes bill materials at cost & donate labor. Just did a Alm. Flag pole for them. It's a win win for everyone.
So the way I take it you are asking about donating your services to a good cause not just to anyone. Doing it as a way of getting your name/skills out there?
If that is the case don't do it just to get work because you might not get anything at all except the satisfaction of helping (which is great). You should also be disciplined to say no as needed. The more you do the more is expected of you. I'm not against it at all as my wife & I both log in hours as volunteers pretty regularly but learning how to say no & not feel guilty is hard.MM250

Soon the steamship, her crew, and the human cargo are caught in the midst of a vicious typhoon. The impending disaster brings out the best and the worst in Whirr; Jukes, the chief mate; Solomon, the wise engineer; and the rest of the crew. Conrad shows that in the struggle for survival, true character will always be exposed.

"... there are times when silence is a poem." - John Fowles, the Magus ^(;,;)^
"Cooks a brilliant story out of a storm ..."
"Don't you be put out by anything. Keep her facing it. They may say what they like, but the heaviest seas run with the wind. Facing it -- always facing it -- that's the way to get through. You are a young sailor. Face it. That's enough for any man. Keep a cool head."
Conrad can take a simple idea and gradually pull out of it the deep complexities of man. Typhoon is a novella that basically cooks a brilliant story out of a storm + a boat + Captain MacWhirr and his crew. Setting was fantastic. Characters were perfect. Story was tight. Narrative was interestingly rigged with letters from MacWhirr to his wife, Juke to his friend and Rout to his wife. These letters framed the narrative with a reflected look at the distance between those at sea and those who remain safe on land.
I only gave it four stars because I've read/listened to better novels by Conrad (Victory, Nostromo, Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim), not because I've read/listened to many better writers

|Burlington Summer Jazz Festival Announced
The line up for this year's annual Burlington Discover Jazz Festival has been announced and ticket sales are available at the Flynn Center ticket website. This year's jazz performances start June 4 and go through June 13.
Now in its 27th year, the Discover Jazz Festival has been called "One of the top ten festivals in the world!" by the The Music Festival Guide (Chicago Review Press, Inc.), named an "Editors Pick Local Secret, Big Find" by Travelocity and IgoUgo, and described as laid back and hospitable: with its brewpubs, boating, biking and big Green Mountains adding a nice edge to the scene,
according to DownBeat Magazine. New England Jazz News simply summed it up as This is the way a Festival should be run
It's a good idea to order tickets well in advance because this is a very popular event.

In an effort to help the Republican ticket cut into President Obama's massive advantage with millennial-generation voters, Paul Ryan delivered what may have been his best line of the 2012 campaign in his speech accepting the GOP vice presidential nomination: "College grads shouldn't have to live out their 20s in childhood bedrooms staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life."
One reason why Ryan's appeal to millennials ultimately failed to have as much impact with them as he anticipated is that it painted an increasingly out-of-date and inaccurate picture of the current status of many millennials who, in growing numbers, are finding work and leaving their parental homes. This may be the first sign that a generation described or even accused of "failing to launch" is now on its way to shaping its own distinctive destiny and that of America in areas such as marriage, family formation, and child-rearing.
On Election Day, millennials—those born between 1982 and 2003—comprised a greater proportion of the electorate than they did in the Obama-mania election of 2008. Those members of the generation old enough to vote gave Obama a 60 percent to 37 percent margin over Mitt Romney, and allowed the president to capture the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia and thereby win reelection.
Still, there is a reason Paul Ryan's comment may have struck home to at least some who listened to his speech. Millennials, to date, have been less likely to strike out on their own than the generations that immediately preceded them. A December 2011 Pew survey showed that, partially prompted by the impact of the Great Recession, nearly one in three young adults 25-34 still lived with their parents, three times the percentage of those that age who did so in 1980.
For a generation with close and mutually supportive relationships with its parents that millennials enjoy, this arrangement was not quite the disaster that pundits and politicians said it was and it now seems to be coming to an end.
This year, the jobless rate of those between 25 and 34 has dropped a little more sharply than it has for the overall population. It fell to 7.9 percent in November from 9 percent in January, compared with a decline to 7.7 percent from 8.3 percent for all workers. As a result of the improved employment picture and continued low home-mortgage rates, twentysomethings and those in their early 30s are moving into their own apartments and buying homes in increasingly greater numbers.
Interstate migration of young people is occurring at the highest rate in more than a decade as well. According to the Census Bureau, the nation has added more than 2 million households in the past year, many of them comprised of young adults. This was triple the annual average for the previous four years.
Now that more millennials are leaving their parents' home and establishing their own households, one might anticipate that more of them will marry. So far, however, this hasn't happened. If anything, American marriage rates are continuing to decline. According to a Pew analysis of census data, in 2010 barely half—51 percent—of Americans 18 and older were married in comparison with 72 percent in 1960. Over the same span, the median age for a first marriage had risen from 22.8 to 28.7 for men and from 20.3 to 26.5 for women. As a result, the share of 18- to 24-year-olds currently married dropped from 45 percent in 1960 to only 9 percent 50 years later. Among 25- to 34-year-olds the corresponding decline was from 82 percent to 44 percent. Perhaps most disconcerting, 39 percent of all American adults and 44 percent of millennials agree that "marriage is becoming obsolete."
Not surprisingly, given the decline in marriage rates, birth rates have also declined and the average age of first-time parents has risen during the past several decades. From a peak of about 4.3 million before the Great Recession, annual births fell to 3.9 million in 2011. Between 1970 and 2010, the average age of first-time mothers rose by nearly four years (from 21.5 to 25.4). The average is closer to 30 on both coasts and among college graduates.
