Nurse Practitioner Salaries in Montana - MT
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) classifies advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) with all registered nurses (RN) for salary purposes. This includes nurse practitioners (NP). Therefore, the BLS quotes the average nurse practitioner salary in Montana to be $56,380. However, one would surmise that the average salary for any APRN, including NPs, would be higher due to the advanced graduate education and specialized clinical experience necessary for the position.
Indeed.com, another site that lists salaries of various positions, pinpoints the average nurse practitioner salary in Montana at $95,000. This seems more in keeping with the education and experience required to become an NP in Montana. Specialized NPs may earn more, or less, than this average annual salary. For example, a family practice NP earns about $70,000 in Montana; a cardiology NP earns about $111,000; a NP at a correctional facility can expect about $120,000; a pediatric NP, $98,000; an adult NP, $88,000; and a psychiatric/mental health NP, $96,000. One of the newer specialties in Montana is family psychiatric mental health NP, established because Montana has scored among the top three states for suicide, and surveys indicate that is has been difficult to access primary mental health or psychiatric care here. This position brings an average yearly salary of $111,000.

OK... so I want to know WHY is it that all the cool stuff in Pottery Barn is never for sale? You know those neat little treasures you see on the coffee tables or on the walls in the background..... [not that I could afford it anyway] BUT STILL it's like a mean tease!
When I saw this clock on the wall I KNEW I had to have one!
Soooo... much to my hubby's dismay, I started yet another project and left my many unfinished projects to sit and mingle while I worked on this one. [This happens to me a lot! I'm what I like to call, a starter/stopper- I start one project and then stop it [unfinished] and then hop on to another one, and then back to my previous one.] Drives hubby NUTS
anyways... back to the post
FIRST I went down to my local LOWES and got a 4x4 board cut down to 32"x32". Pick any size... just make sure it's a square. Board MUST be square or your circle (which must touch all 4 edges) will not be a circle, it will be an oval. FYI
Price: $12
Next I primed it with a creamy white and the white washed the top very lightly so the cream would still show through in spots.
(I used watered down white paint)
For the rest of the piece I used the following supplies:
a rusty red paint
a canary yellow paint
an antiquing glaze (very important. MUST be a glaze)
a knife
a rag
a cup of water
First I stabbed/picked holes randomly around the whole piece especially around the corners. I put some close together so as not to make it look like a pattern or intentional
I found my center and stabbed a large hole (where the hands would have been centered). I made the hole larger then the others.
(my camera broke when I was in the middle of this project so I'm showing you how I did the holes on my finished clock by just adding another hole. FYI :] )
Then I dabbed my rag in the paints, not really mixing them together on the plate. This way if it was too red or too yellow I could just add a bit more. After dabbing the rag in the paint, I dabbed the rag with the paint still on into water to water it down a bit so it wouldn't be so stark and be more plyable on the wood.
then I simply went around and "rusted" all the holes by dabbing them with this paint solution. I rubbed it into the hole really well and then just barely around it. I also "rusted" the large crack in the clock and the corners.
Then I went and put a bit of the glaze, also watered down, onto the rag and then wiped it over all the corners, edges, the center hole, and rusted areas. I also wiped it in and around the entire clock to age it a bit.
It's important to use the glaze because it will wipe off ENTIRELY if you mess up.... and leave NO TRACE it was ever there. I was really able to perfect my clock by using the glaze and not black paint.
Then I traced a large circle all the way around the clock and took a paintbrush and filled it in with the glaze paint (this time not watered down)
I traced the circle by insterted a pin into the exact center of the wood. Then I tied a string to the pin, and the other end of the string to my pencil. I made sure that the string was exactly long enough to let my pencil barely touch the edge. Then I just moved my pencil all the way around and it formed a perfect circle
Next I stenciled on all the numbers... again with the glaze.
I cut out my stencils onto paint chips using an exacto knife (if only I had a cricuit!) I traced an X, a V, and an I onto 3 seperate paint chips and with that combination made all the 12 numbers.
Then I sanded the finished clock down a bit, especially the numbers and circle to age them a bit
And there ya have it!
here's a close up of the original:
and here's my attempted version
with poor lighting :)

NRI who saved a New York psychologist now desparately needs a jobNovember 19th, 2007 - 6:17 pm ICT by admin
New York, Nov.19 (ANI): Six weeks ago, one time Manhattan cook Amarjit Singh saved psychologist Susan Barron's life by staving off a stabber, but today he is without a job, and desparately needs help.
Singh never thought the mugging incident would alter his life, but it has.
"Now it's a very different life. Before, I worked and I was happy. Now I stay at home all the time, thinking. I'm going crazy. I've no money, no nothing. I want anybody to help me," the New York Daily News quoted 56-year-old Singh, as saying.
Singh was the first target of 38-year-old Lee Coleman, who went on a bloody rampage along New York's Second Avenue on October 6.
He was preparing food at the Texas Smokehouse restaurant when Coleman entered and stole several knives before slashing the cook across the face and chasing him into the street.
Seconds later, Coleman - who relatives say is schizophrenic and bipolar and had not been taking his medication - turned the blades on Barron, 67, who was walking to church with her dog.
With blood gushing down his face, Singh made a split-second decision to rush back and confront Coleman as he plunged the knives into Barron's head, neck and body.
Off-duty transit cop Gregory Chin then shot and wounded Coleman after he refused to drop the knives.
"I saw her in hospital," Singh said of Barron. "She said, 'Thank you very much; you saved my life.'"
Singh, however, is too scared to return to his rental apartment, just blocks from where he was attacked. So, now he sleeps on a sofa in a friend's living room in Queens.
He can't walk more than half a block without having to rest . He has also lost feeling in the left side of his face and can no longer hear out of his left ear, which was nearly cut off.
He suffers flashbacks and nightmares from the attack, and although the New York State Crime Victims Board is paying his medical bills, the boss he spent 22 years working for has visited him just twice since the attack, Singh said.
The restaurant has remained closed, and Singh says he was never offered any compensation. He has not even been told whether he will get his job back if the business reopens.
"I lose everything. All day I'm at home; this is like jail because I don't want to stay at home all the time. My boss always say I was like family," he added.
Singh is applying for workers' compensation but has no idea how he will live on the small handout.
He used to make 700 dollars a week and sent about 1,500 dollars a month to his four children in India. Now, they rely on relatives.
"People always say 'hero' but what is a hero? It means nothing," he says in a resigned manner. (ANI)

Watch Pak vs WI and Aus vs Ban Live Streaming
It is one of those early weekends of 2015 world cup which would treat us with two matches! Few more weekends to follow until the world cup ends and we crown a new champion. We are sure you all enjoyed the ball being sent all over the park by Brendon McCullum yesterday. And how can one forget the seven wickets haul by Tim Southee. One can expect similar cricketing stunts today when we have two good matches lined up - Pakistan vs West Indies and Australia vs Bangladesh. Watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 live telecast and streaming of these two matches along with match video highlights on Star Sports HD network. The match live commentary will be available in Hindi, English, Kannada, Tamil, Bengali and Malayalam in India.
With two Asian countries involved in today's matches, we all expect a lot of eye balls glued to television sets, desktops and smartphones for live cricket streaming and telecast.
Pakistan vs West Indies world cup match live telecast and streaming will begin from 11am local time, 10pm GMT the previous day and 3:30am Indian Standard Time. The venue for this match is Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
With Pakistan featuring in this team we can expect a full attendance of around 18,000 spectators today. The last ODI match played here was the world cup opener between New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The next match to be played here would be England vs Scotland. Overall this venue provide a good competition between bat and ball in the last match. We saw a lot of runs as well as good number of wickets.
Head to Head, Pakistan has won three matches against West Indies in the world cups, but lost six. Most of these losses go way back in the earlier world cups and in the recent past Pakistan has had an upper hand. Both these teams are wounded with a loss in the earlier match. Pakistan lost to India while West Indies lost to Ireland at Saxton Oval. A loss here for either of the teams would take them a step closer to elimination. So we can guarantee a tight match here today!
Australia vs Bangladesh world cup match is scheduled to begin at 1:30pm local time, 3:30am GMT and 9am Indian Standard Time. The veneu for this match is the Gabba at Brisbane.
Australian team is considered to be the biggest favourites to win this edition of world cup. So we can expect another crushing win over Bangladesh. But it all depends on how the weather supports the game.
.@CricketAus players were put through their paces at the National Cricket Centre today #cwc15 #AUSvBAN https://t.co/T7VXWzpG8C
— Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) February 20, 2015
Unfortunately a cyclone has encircled Brisbane which reduces the chances for this match to happen. ICC has sent out a message that there aren't any reserve days for group matches so match will continue as per the rules. Each team needs to play 20 overs each for a result or else the points would be shared. Let's hope for a miracle and we have a full match.
Pakistan vs West Indies promises to be an enthralling encounter while the fate of Australia vs Bangladesh match depends on cyclone Marcia.

Surely countless times you have heard that if you eat certain foods you accelerate the metabolism and you can lose weight. The question here is how many calories should we consume per day?
In the following video, nutritionist Carmen Haro explains what you should take into account to calculate the number of calories you should consume daily.
In this regard, nutritionist Mónica Maza, clarifies that there is no exact table to know how many calories to consume per day since everything depends on each person and their lifestyle, but gives you these options to help you maintain your weight and have A healthy lifestyle.
1. If you are a man, multiply your weight by 25, if you are a woman by 23.
2. Based on this result do the following calculation.
If you are under 25, add 300 calories.
If you are between 25 and 45 years old do not perform any operation.
If you are between 45 and 55 years old, you should have 100 calories.
If you are between 55 and 65 years old, you should have 200 calories.
And if you are older than 65, you should have 300 calories.
3. Make your calculation taking into account the following:
If you lead a sedentary life, leave the calculation as it is.
If you do a light physical activity (walking 15 minutes, doing household chores and any work with little effort) add up to the above result 100 more calories.
If you do a moderate physical activity (go to the gym or dance 3 times a week) add 200 calories to the previous result.
If you perform an intense physical activity, to the previous result add 300 more calories.

The end of the world!
The world did not end on May 21 as was predicted. There are predictions like this every year. Someone somewhere is convinced that the world will end and finds/manufactures "evidence" from Scripture or from some archeological dig. I read that the first known apocalypse prediction was a couple of hundred years BC. A pottery shard containing a prediction that the world would end in their near future. And there have been thousands of these predictions since.
Considering the fact that not one has come true – not a single one – why are there still suckers every time? It can only be because a percentage of us WANT to believe that it's all over. Want to be done with this life. Want it so badly that we are willing to simply ignore the zero percent success rate of these doom prophets. It's a "get-me-outa-here" mentality.
According to the Bible, the world will surely end, but it is not for us to know when. The message is: Be ready, but don't sit around waiting for the end. Get on with it. You can only make a difference if you do something.

I have played several MUDs over the years, and Redemption is my game of choice. It offers so much and, after playing for more than two years, I am still exploring its subtleties. There are many facets of Redemption that make it unique and addictive
First: The amazing variety of races and classes. There are 10 races and 12 classes, with each race and class having two remorts/reclasses with distinctly different playstyles. Although some combinations may be slightly more powerful than others in certain circumstances, they all have their place in Redemption.
Second: Playerkilling. If there is something Redemption does best, it is playerkilling. While nonclanners are an important part of the playerbase, the MUD is driven by the clan wars that sweep the land. With immortals and player representatives constantly monitoring balances, the pkilling environment is open to every player, of whatever race or class. Playerkilling is unrestricted among clanners, meaning that you need to earn the respect of your compatriots to succeed.
Third: The clans. The clan system is vibrant and dynamic, with alliances and rivalries that stretch into the past. Redemption's vivid history gives real meaning to the battles that rage across the twin continents.
Fourth: The constant coding innovations by our dedicated immortal staff. Redemption boasts unique crafted items, intelligent weapons, unique wandering mobs with rare equipment, item seals to protect equipment from looters, archery, unique races and classes, a detailed deity/worship system, two continents, imm sponsored tournaments for all levels and trivia contests, capture the flag arenas, personal homes, siegable clan halls, weddings and festivals, personalized items, a newbie helper channel and clan, a unique patron and vassal system, and too much more to mention.
Fifth: The people. The players of Redemption are, on the whole, compassionate and honorable players who will treat you with respect. However, as in every game, there are a few people who will tease newbies/get them killed or lost. However, most of these players have been punished with IP bans or sitebans. The game is becoming more friendly by the day.
Finally: We are under new management. Daisy and Delstar have passed on the torch to the great heroes Starcrossed and Cauthon, who head the talented immortal staff as they take Redemption into the future. There have been more code changes/features added in the last two weeks since the changeover than in the preceding year.
Exciting things are happening at Redemption as it undergoes a renaissance. This is the time to join and make your mark on the continents of Terra and Dominia.
visit us at www.redemptionmud.com or connect at shell.reach.net 4000. My name is Aql and I am always open to help you get started.
For those who have sinned, there lies...Redemption
By the way, if you decide to join, post your character name here so I know who to help out :-D

Redemption rocks. It's a very old MUD (branched off from the old Moosehead base) and has a lot of die-hard, dedicated players. However, due to general attrition we've lost people (thanks mainly to games like World of Warcraft or Everquest) and thus more players would make the game much more fun to play.
We still have a solid playerbase (30 or so online at peak hours) but more is always better.
If anyone needs help, look me up: I play Crigos, Khell, and Sieben as well as a couple of other smaller alts.

A new announcement: we've just entered the holiday season at Redemption, and our capital city has been festooned with decorations to celebrate the season. Events and treasure hunts and tournaments are daily occurrences, and the holiday spirit really stirs the fighting spirit
Come one come all, the time has never been better to enter the magical world of Redemption...

"HPA Lanolin Lanolina HPA" comes in a MED sized tube (40gr), sells at my favorite online place to buy anything, and is safe for internal use (made for nursing mothers with cracked nipples) - it has been suggested here many, many times. Well, I finally got some to try myself, and it is simply wonderful. I get a strap irritation/bleeding wound on my right ear - and have fought it for many months, it is now completely healed. Simply by dabbing some of this on the area each morning.
I have also used it inside my nares when trying to adapt to a set of 'nose pillows'. Anyhow, just a thought that may or may not be of use.
I too was thinking more leakage in the lower lip chin area of the mask - strange that leaks have not also risen. I will comment then even when using a FFM, my AHI goes up the more I mouth-breathe (typically while on my back).
I'll second your HPA Lanolin recommendation. Originally I followed the manufacturers directions as printed on the box carefully. But it didn't seem to help much. So finally I started applying it to my nose instead, and it helped a lot.

Since 2004, CrazyBulk has been in the business of selling legal supplements designed to replace prescription-only anabolic steroids. Clenbutrol is a product the company sells intended to replace Clenbuterol Hydrochloride. The purpose of Clenbutrol is to shed unwanted fat and get a lean and ripped look.
How Does CrazyBulk Clenbutrol Work?
Clenbutrol is taken in capsule form. Once the body begins the process of metabolizing the capsules, the thermogenic effect begins to occur. The "thermogenic effect" refers to the raising of the body's temperature. This, in turn, has an effect on the body's metabolism. Specifically, the body begins to burn fat more efficiently. Those who seem to have hit a plateau with their weight loss goals may be able to metabolize that stubborn fat that is preventing lean muscle mass from being more clearly developed. As body fat is reduced, a ripped bodybuilder physique begins to emerge.
What is Anabolic Steroids?
Anabolic steroids are not scoundrels; your wrong usages make them. Anabolic steroids are beneficial medications whenever you use them rightly, at right time, and for right purposes.It helps you recovering and gaining weight after a severe illness, injury, or continuing infection. They are beneficial when you fail to gain or maintain normal weight because of unexplained medical reasons. The doctors can recommend using anabolic steroids as part of an effective diet and exercise regimen to build and maintain your weight.
Several studies have revealed that anabolic steroids help treating several types of anemia, breast cancer, and treat hereditary angioedema, which causes swelling of the face, arms, legs, throat, windpipe, bowels, or sexual organs. Anabolic steroids have been given to people with chronic wasting conditions such as cancer and AIDS.
Anabolic diet help covering up your declining testosterone production in old age. Testosterone help in increasing the number of you red blood cells, and improving calcium deposition in the bones. It also helps in muscle enlargement, increasing body hair, thickening of vocal chords, and growth and development of the prostate gland. Anabolic steroids help increasing the anabolic properties (tissue building) of the androgens and minimize the androgenic (sex-linked) properties.
Anabolic supplements
They help increasing the body's ability to use protein to build muscles. They help sending the amino acids back to the muscles. Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins help muscles to grow; that's why anabolic steroids are often used by bodybuilders.
Like testosterone, anabolic steroids help building up muscles and discourage fat buildup. They block the binding of cortisol to its receptor sites, which prevents muscle breakdown and enhances recovery. They may block the effects of hormones such as cortisol involved in tissue breakdown during and after exercise; cortisol causes protein breakdown and is secreted during exercise to enhance the use of proteins for fuel and to suppress inflammation that accompanies tissue injury.
Wrong Usage & Few Concerns
Anabolic steroids are generally used as performance enhancing drugs by bodybuilders and sports persons. This is the wrong use of steroids, which has side effects and serious consequences. Some of the common side effects of anabolic steroid include cancer, liver tumors, kidney tumors, jaundice, high blood pressure, increases in LDL (bad cholesterol) & decreases in HDL (good cholesterol), severe acne, trembling, etc. https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/anabolic-steroids
If you are rightly using anabolic steroids for right purposes, you can buy anabolic steroids online. Cyber world offers you convenient method to buy anabolic steroids online. It's really easy to buy anabolic steroids online. You just go online and you'll find plenty of sites that will help you buy anabolic steroids online. However, you must make sure that you buy anabolic steroids online from a genuine site and of genuine quality. Your internet research can help you buy anabolic steroids online from a genuine site and in reasonable prices.
Advantage of CrazyBulks Clenbutrol
- Improves the basic metabolic rate (BMR), which means the body will continue to burn fat at rest at at a higher rate than normal. This contributes to the product's ability to be an effective fat burner.
- Oxygen transportation is enhanced and this can aid in giving cardiovascular performance a boost.
- Easy to take supplement suggests consuming three capsules per day for a two month period. Simple take the capsules with a glass of water. No prescriptions – and no needles – are necessary.
Some Cons & Potential Problems
- The product is recommended to be stacked (combined) with other supplements designed for enhancing a multi-week cutting cycle. This is suggested to attain the maximum results.
- Not intended for bulking up or packing on significant amounts of muscle mass. This is a fat burning and shedding capsule supplement only.
- Requires a proper diet and exercise program to be followed in order to achieve maximum results. Anyone interested in a miracle supplement that delivers results without work will be disappointed.
Where to buy & how much does it costs?
Currently it is available online only through its official website crazybulks. One bottle which can last one month costs about $62. Currently they are running a promotion where in you can get 1 bottle free if you order 2 bottles. In addition to that, they also offer periodical discount through coupons. Please check the special page by clicking on the link below.

Cutting cycles are never easy and shedding off unwanted fat requires a lot of work. Even with the greatest effort, overcoming hurdles is difficult. CrazyBulk Clenbutrol delivers helpful assistance to burn stubborn fat, improve performance and stamina, and keep fitness enthusiasts off a plateau. The producer is not selling it as a miracle diet pills. They are clearly insisting that it works only if you do exercise. For all these fairness by the producer I give it a 4 star rating.

Decide on your budget and the features and options that you'll need. For example, will you need lots of trunk space for groceries or hockey equipment or do you need a car that's great on mileage and fuel efficient?
Once you have a short list, it's time to figure out how you'll pay for the car.
People once said that buying a used car was buying someone else's problem, but the huge popularity of leasing has meant that tens of thousands of high-quality used vehicles are coming off lease and being put up for sale every year.
In many cases, these vehicles have had only one driver. Most have been well maintained since the cars have been under manufacturer's warranty for their entire lives. There are many reasons people are considering buying a used car in Ontario.Savings
You lose a substantial part of your investment in a new car the moment you drive it off the lot. On average, domestic models lose about 50 percent of their resale value during the first three years of their life, while imports lose nearly 50 percent over the first four years.
This rapid loss has everything to do with fashion and little to do with the vehicle's true worth. Thanks to improved engineering [...]

I was a "water baby". Loved to be in the pool, lake, ocean, whatever. My mom was a strong swimmer, but my dad felt he was only able to survive in the water; not having any desire to be immersed in a body of water other than a bathtub.
So I got a lot of safety training, as well as more advanced water skills training. That being said, I've been in trouble in the water enough times to (hopefully) not get complacent while enjoying the lake, pool or ocean and occasional river. Things do happen unexpectedly. The old stand-byes of the buddy system and getting approval from parents as to where I was going, who I would be with, and when I would be back ran deep.
Several Years ago, There was a great article by Mario Vittone entitled "Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning" Its a great read and I strongly encourage you to follow the link to get to it. Please read his article, click here
I did a quick fact check and discovered that drowning is still considered by many to be one of the top 10 causes of death in children under the age of 15.
The best advice he has in the article, but by no means the only gem is "children playing in the water make noise, When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why."
Remember that distances are hard to guess over water. Swimming across the cove is usually not a good idea unless the swimmer is very strong.
As with any personal safety or protection scenario, keeping an eye out on your surroundings is cool at the pool!

Algae Has Bright Future in Animal Feeds
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
US - Scientists investigating the use of algal byproducts for feed have found that a novel algae meal derived from heterotrophic microalgae makes a suitable feed for cattle. Algae are organisms so environmentally adaptable that they flourish in wastelands, sewage and saline bodies of water. They can grow in high densities, in the dark and in the presence of high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphates. Harnessing the adaptive power of algae is a relatively new research field. Engineers across the country have developed algal biofuels, food additives and skincare products. Livestock scientists see its potential as a sustainable, high-energy feedstuff as well as a protein supplement. Amongst those scientists are Dr Megan Van Emon, Assistant Professor at Montana State University, Dr Daniel Loy, Professor of Animal Science at Iowa State University and Dr Stephanie Hansen, Assistant Professor at Iowa State University. Their paper, "Determining the preference, in vitro digestibility, in situ disappearance, and grower period performance of steers fed a novel algae meal derived from heterotrophic microalgae," is featured in June's issue of the Journal of Animal Science. Solazyme is a company that transforms algae into products like biofuel, cosmetics and cooking oil. They modify heterotrophic algae, which normally produce 5-10 per cent oil, to produce 80 per cent oil. The organisms are grown and processed in controlled media under very specific conditions. The oil is then harvested and incorporated into a variety of tailored products. The organization approached Dr Stephanie Hansen and her colleagues to assess the value of the remaining algal fraction, the dry cell wall that would otherwise be burned as waste. "We looked at the nutrient analysis of a blend of deoiled algae and soyhulls," said Dr Hansen. "Everyone thought that this could be a great ruminant feedstuff." While previous studies have studied pure algae supplements as sources of protein or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the current study is the first to feed a unique algae meal blend (ALG). The feedstuff (57 per cent microalgae) has slightly more fat content than corn, the same amount of protein and does not contain DHA. A preliminary experiment tested the DM digestibility of ALG compared with hay and soyhulls. Three more experiments took place (1) to determine if cattle would readily consume algae meal, (2) to determine the influence of DM disappearance of ALG and other feedstuffs and (3) to determine growth and DMI of ALG-fed grower calves. Four diets were fed to feedlot steers: a cracked corn control diet, and diets containing 15 per cent , 30 per cent and 45 per cent algae meal (CON, ALG15, ALG30 and ALG45, respectively.) The first two experiments involved three ruminally cannulated steers, and the third experiment involved 48 grower steers. In the grower study algae meal replaced wet corn gluten feed in the diet. The trials yielded a myriad of new information, notably:
- Cattle readily consumed algae meal at all concentrations without sorting. (1)
- ADG increased as ALG increased in the diet. (3)
- DMI increased linearly as ALG concentrations increased in the diet. (3)
- Finally, midpoint and final BW of steers were not affected by ALG. (3)

They can grow in high densities, in the dark and in the presence of high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphates. Harnessing the adaptive power of algae is a relatively new research field. Engineers across the country have developed algal biofuels, food additives and skincare products. Livestock scientists see its potential as a sustainable, high-energy feedstuff as well as a protein supplement. Amongst those scientists are Dr. Megan Van Emon, Assistant Professor at Montana State University, Dr. Daniel Loy, Professor of Animal Science at Iowa State University and Dr. Stephanie Hansen, Assistant Professor at Iowa State University. Their paper, "Determining the preference, in vitro digestibility, in situ disappearance, and grower period performance of steers fed a novel algae meal derived from heterotrophic microalgae," is featured in June's issue of the Journal of Animal Science. Solazyme is a company that transforms algae into products like biofuel, cosmetics and cooking oil. They modify heterotrophic algae, which normally produce 5-10% oil, to produce 80% oil. The organisms are grown and processed in controlled media under very specific conditions. The oil is then harvested and incorporated into a variety of tailored products. The organization approached Dr. Stephanie Hansen and her colleagues to assess the value of the remaining algal fraction, the dry cell wall that would otherwise be burned as waste. "We looked at the nutrient analysis of a blend of deoiled algae and soyhulls," said Hansen. "Everyone thought that this could be a great ruminant feedstuff." While previous studies have studied pure algae supplements as sources of protein or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the current study is the first to feed a unique algae meal blend (ALG). The feedstuff (57% microalgae) has slightly more fat content than corn, the same amount of protein and does not contain DHA. A preliminary experiment tested the DM digestibility of ALG compared with hay and soyhulls. Three more experiments took place (1) to determine if cattle would readily consume algae meal, (2) to determine the influence of DM disappearance of ALG and other feedstuffs and (3) to determine growth and DMI of ALG-fed grower calves. Four diets were fed to feedlot steers: a cracked corn control diet, and diets containing 15%, 30% and 45% algae meal (CON, ALG15, ALG30 and ALG45, respectively.) The first two experiments involved three ruminally cannulated steers, and the third experiment involved 48 grower steers. In the grower study algae meal replaced wet corn gluten feed in the diet. The trials yielded a myriad of new information, notably: -Cattle readily consumed algae meal at all concentrations without sorting. -ADG increased as ALG increased in the diet. -DMI increased linearly as ALG concentrations increased in the diet. -Finally, midpoint and final BW of steers were not affected by ALG. Hansen says this initial collection of data translates to a promising future for algae meal. "We are currently working on FDA approval for the product," Hansen said. "Hopefully by 2016, cattlemen will be able to start incorporating it into rations, especially if they can find it at the right price." The research team is working together with Solazyme to determine the financial value of algae meal. Hansen expects the high-energy feedstuff to be priced competitively with corn. While most research initiatives are still in the experimental stages, continued studies on microalgae means commercial production of algal products is in the near future. Hansen and her colleagues recently completed two sheep digestibility projects where algae meal directly replaced soyhulls and corn. Those projects will be presented at the ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting next month with M.S. candidate Rebecca Stokes as the lead author. "The sustainability of algae production is pretty promising," Hansen said. "As we move into the next generation of cattle feeding and feedstuffs, it will be interesting to see where present and future versions of algae meal place themselves in the market."

Clean Power Plan brings new opportunities for US algae biomass cos
Posted by Algix in Short Posts | 0 comments
August 4 (SeeNews) - The Algae Biomass Organization (ABO) welcomed the US' Clean Power Plan and especially the part of it related to the use of qualifying carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies to cut emissions from power plants. The final version of the federal regulation says that states may allow Electric Generating Units (EGUs) affected by the Clean Power Plan to turn to CCU in order to meet the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission targets. ABO said this is "a huge win for the algae industry". There are several US companies commercialising algae-based technologies that turn CO2 from power plants into fuels, feeds and other products. CCU will not only cut the cost of emissions reduction for both utilities and power consumers, but will also create a new revenue stream, the ABO noted. The Clean Power Plan, presented Monday, aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the US by 32% from 2005 levels by 2030. Under the new regulation, each state has a separate target and is obliged to formulate its own plan to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired power plants.

Turkey's Tuz Gola Lake Turns Red Because of Toxic Algae Bloom
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
Like a scene straight out of a horror film, a Turkish lake known for its salinity turned a deep shade of red recently.
The country's Tuz Gola – nicknamed "Salt Lake" by the locals – turned red because of a large Dunaliella salinas algae bloom, ABC News reported. The lake, which is Turkey's second largest, spans more than 600 square miles and is among the lakes with the highest salinity levels worldwide, according to the United Nations.
In the slideshow at the top of this page, you can see an image of what the red algae bloom looks like, as well as photos of other toxic algae blooms around the world.
"Because the lake is losing water, the salinity is getting higher and higher, which kills off a lot of the plankton that normally eat this red algae," Stony Brook University marine ecology research professor Dr. Christopher Gobler told ABC News. "So now, the algae is thriving and will probably red until the lake fully evaporates, probably next month during the peak of summer heat."
The lake is a popular spot for tourists because as the lake dries out, it becomes a walkable salt flat, the New York Daily News said. There are also industrial refineries along the lake that capture salt from Tuz Gola.
Arava grow seaweed on land: New superfood comes from the sea
Posted by Algix in In the news | 1 comments
[Israel] Consumers are now used to seeing new information about how beneficial fruits and vegetables are to one's health. But one of the healthiest items available may not even be a fruit or vegetable; it might be seaweed. "There is nothing in the world like seaweed," said Omer Kamp of Arava Export Growers. "The nutritional value that it has is beyond comparison." It can also add flavor to dishes without any of the bad sodium that can cause health risks. But while Kamp notes that it's one of the healthiest items one can eat, the challenge has been to educate people on how to eat it. "We are still working on the consumers," said Kamp. "They need to be educated, and it's a process. People now understand that it's healthy, but now they need to know what to do with it." Arava is working with chefs throughout Europe to come up with recipes using seaweed and ideas on how to incorporate it into familiar dishes. Red seaweed, for example, can be used as a thickening and flavoring agent in soups, and green seaweed can be added to salads for additional nutrients. A promotional campaign with retailers is also in action, and though it's been slow going, there has been progress. "Half a year ago, people didn't even know what this product was or what it looked like," said Kamp. "Now they know, and they want to get educated. But it's a process and it's going to take some time." Arava production is eco-clean While there are other suppliers of seaweed selling the product in Europe, Kamp explained that Arava is unique in that its production is carried out in a controlled environment. A large pool just off the shore is filtered and contains sleeves filled with everything needed for seaweed to grow in a maintained environment. Kamp said they produce between 500 and 600 tons annually this way. Production that is done right out in the ocean can absorb unwanted compounds, but Arava's controlled environment prevents that. "Seaweed is algae, and algae absorbs all of the elements that surround it, so you can get bad stuff out there and put it in your body," said Kamp. "But we're the only producer in the world that grows our seaweed in a controlled environment, so not only is it organic, but it's also eco-clean."
China's algae crisis offers feedstock for U.S. plastics firm
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
Lake Taihu, the third largest freshwater body in China, once was pure and beautiful and one of my fondest childhood memories. But like many things in China, it has fallen victim of GDP-focused development and now is devastated by pollution.
In the past couple of decades, explosive industrialization and urbanization have turned Taihu's waters a freakish green with rampant algae blooms.
The crisis first made headlines in 2007 when millions of local residents found their tap water was like green Jello and were forced to find alternative drinking water. The government has since pumped billions of yuan into cleanup projects, but the effect has been very limited.
Local residents who resent these notorious algae didn't know, however, these green matters could be a valuable feedstock for the polymer industry
Thanks to the discovery of an American company, Taihu algea are being processed into dry powder and shipped to the United States to make algae-based plastics.
Wuxi-based DLH (Delinhai) Tech Co. Ltd. said it has received an order from a U.S. customer to deliver 1,400 metric tons of algae powder in batches through the end of next year.
Hu Hangyu, who is in charge of the company, said in a phone interview that he was not at liberty to disclose the customer's name.
The customer first approached DLH in 2013, according to DLH. The Wuxi-based company spent months on research to reduce moisture and in 2014 reached the customer's requirement of less than 10 percent moisture content. It sent a test sample of 5 metric tons of powder to the customer in January.
DLH said the customer was very satisfied and placed the 1,400-ton order.
The United States has had its own algae blooms, but DLH said the Chinese waters are rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, which yield algae with high protein content (more than 35 percent).
DLH's production line currently can produce 8 tons of powder per day, using 50 tons of algae collected from the lake, the company told Chinese media. It also said it would be able to consume all of the algae from Taihu if it were to expand to five lines.
DLH told local media that it's selling the powder at $500 per ton with a thin profit margin. Nevertheless, it's a higher value-added application than traditional uses like compost and biogas power generation.
Exporting is more profitable than selling in China, Hu told Plastics News, adding that he doesn't know any company in China that converts algae into plastics.
Hu said he's not considering bringing on algae-to-polymer technology and producing plastics locally.
"We are not a plastics producer. We specialize in algae collection and treatment and would not consider entering a new industry," he said on the phone.
"The customer has their own proprietary technology. All we do is supply raw materials as specified by the customer," he emphasized.
DLH has expanded its treatment area beyond Taihu to other regions in China.

The world's largest Haematococcus farm built in China
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
[China] The geological stone forest of Shilin is a set of limestone formations located in Shilin's Yi Autonomous County, approximately 90 km (56 mi) away from the provincial capital city Kunming, Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China. Since 2007, one of the most notable stone forest site, the Naigu stone forest, has been listed as the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Minutes away from the World Heritage site, there is an astonishing man-made structure where thousand of kilometers of glass tubes are put together for the cultivation of microalgae. This structure is known as the photobioreactor. Last month, Algae World News paid a visit to this microalgae production plant and met with the company's founding team members. Upon our arrival in the morning of 16th of June 2015, we were received by 4 warm-hearted young men, who are the founders of the company. We are glad that the team eventually agreed to share their experience with Algae World News' readers. The successful establishment of such mega-structure was not easy. We were impressed that the pilot plant and the 1,000 km commercial scale glass-made tubular photobioreactor was actually constructed without any help from the algae industry experts or algae research institution. After many years of research in the algae and natural product industries, Eric Pan, the founder (now the technical director) of Yunnan GinkoAsta Biotech Co., Ltd., together with 2 of his ex-classmates, Fei Yang and Wei Xiang, demonstrated a pilot plant which produces a type of microalgae known as Haematococcus pluvialis, in year 2009. This was also one of the very first commercial prototype of H. pluvialis cultivation system demonstrated in China. "We started everything from scratch. I read hundreds of articles related to algae cultivation and production systems. We build our own lab, grow and acclimatize the algae, look for glass fabrication factory, construct the system, and secure investors. " Eric recalled. In 2013, the team completed the first phase of the commercial H. pluvialisproduction plant. The 25 acre astaxanthin production facility features sealed glass tubes, which ensures a clean and contaminant-free environment for the growth of H. pluvialis.
Currently, operated by 80 emplyees, the facility is capable of producing 3 tons of pure astaxanthin per year and it is available for immediate shipment world-wide. "We are doubling the production by 2016. We believe that currently our company's astaxanthin production contributes 25% of the global astaxanthin market." Fei Yang stated.
Fei Yang is the R&D manager of the company."We will be having our own on-site super-critical carbon dioxide extraction facility by next year. At the moment, we are sending the raw biomass product to Japan and Beijing for astaxanthin extraction and purification." Fei Yang further elaborated. "Currently, Beijing Gingko Group (BGG), is one of the largest investor of our company. BGG is also the marketing arm of our company's Haematococcus products such as astaxanthin. The product name "AstaZine" was registered and approved by the China's Ministry of Health in year 2012 and it is now sold throughout the country as a health supplement." Eric added.
BGG is one of the leading natural ingredients company in China which offer various kinds of natural ingredients to the marketplace.
In 2013, BGG initially invested in the purchase of over 25 acres of the most fertile and climatically suitable land in Shilin, and then invested in the photobioreactor technology to grow the microalgae for the production of natural astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is in short supply around the world, and BGG is now one of the leading producer in the Asian market.
According to algachina.com, in March 2013, Yunnan GinkoAsta Biotech So., LTD raised $10,000,000 as the initial construction capital, and then another $20,000,000 for further expansion in August of the same year.
"The market price of pure astaxanthin fluctuates around $12,000.00 per kilogram. The price is largely depending on its purity and its ratio to the total carotenoids." said Eric."We spent years to select a strain that grows fast enough and accumulates high amount of astaxanthin. Our selected H. pluvialis strain requires only 6 days of cultivation in its green motile stage. The culture is then put under stress for 9-14 days for the synthesis and accumulation of astaxanthin. Having a productive strain is the key of a successful and profitable microalgae cultivation plant." Wei Xiang explained. The astaxanthin content of the selected strain of H. pluvialis reaches 7%. On average, H. pluvialis accumulates up to 5% of astaxanthin only. Achieving high astaxanthin concentration lowers the cost for the extraction and purification. "Together with the new super-critical CO2 extraction facility, we will be handling every step from upstream farming, harvesting, and extraction to downstream product development, marketing and branding. This is like an one-stop service station for astaxanthin production and we believe that this is our unique selling point." Wei Xiang said. At the end of the meeting, the team members told us the future plan of the company. "We are currently collaborating with research institutions and we are exploring the commercial viability of other valuable microalgae species. The market of astaxanthin may reach saturation in 5-10 years time. Competitors are rising, technologies are becoming easily accessible, and we are always looking into solutions in longer run. Being innovative in terms of product development is the key to business sustainability." Eric said. https://youtu.be/nYT_eN2IPfk Read more at: http://news.algaeworld.org/2015/07/the-worlds-largest-haematococcus-farm-in-china/
Edible Algae as a Viable Protein Source
Posted by Algix in Uncategorized | 1 comments
Protein is an essential part of every person's diet. While most of us get this vital nutrient through eating meat, vegetarians and vegans have to acquire it through alternative methods. Many food experts are now saying that algae, quinoa, and pulses are the next best available sources of protein. Choosing to eat algae, quinoa, and pulses over other forms of protein comes with several advantages. Eating these foods cuts down significantly on food waste, which is a big problem when it comes to eating meat or other foods that spoil quickly. Their preparation allows them to be much less processed as well, which contributes to the overall health of those who eat them.
Great variety of optionsAlgae is becoming a preferred protein source for vegans, since it has a greatly reduced carbon footprint and provides comparable protein to other vegan favorites, such as rice or soy. The total composition of algae consists of 63% protein, 15% fiber, 11% lipids, 4% carbohydrates, 4% micronutrients, and 3% moisture. These numbers indicate that algae is a food that is rich in nutrients and very healthy. Some consumers may be cautious to eat algae, but food scientist Beata Klamczynska explains that people are slowly beginning to recognize how good it can be. "Are consumers ready for algae as an ingredient? Yes, they are ready and excited about algae…The more they learn, the more excited they get. Just a little education eliminates any doubts….There are thousands of algae strains to choose from for a variety of products," she said. Like algae, quinoa and pulses also exist in many different forms. There are currently over 1,400 quinoa products on the market, all of which are rich in protein. "Pulses" is just a general term that encompasses legumes, beans, chickpeas, and lentils, and the number of these products is also large. According to Anusha Samaranayaka, who is a scientist at POS Bio-Sciences, pulses are known to be high in protein, vegetarian, gluten-free, non-allergenic, non-GMO, and sustainable. Supplementing any of these different foods into your diet is a great way to increase your protein intake. A presentation on these three foods was recently shown at IFT15, which is hosted by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) in Chicago.

DIC Corp unveils state of the art spirulina extraction plant to meet growing demand for natural blue food color.
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
Tokyo-based DIC Corporation – which claims to be the world's largest producer of spirulina – has finished building a $10m state-of-the-art extraction plant for the blue-green algae in southern California to meet growing demand for natural blue food colors-with commercial production expected to begin in September.
While other fruit-and vegetable-based natural blue colors have been available to US manufacturers for some time, demand for spirulina extract has surged in the part 18 months following moves by the FDA to approve its use in a wide variety of foodstuffs, said DIC.
"DIC estimates that the global market for natural blue food coloring will double between now and 2018, by which time it also expects the DIC Group's share of this market to expand to 50%, from 20% at present."
The new extraction facility – which will produce DIC's Linablue natural blue food coloring from phycocyanin, a blue colorant extracted from spirulina using a water extraction process – is next door to the spirulina farm of DIC's US subsidiary Earthrise Nutritionals, a leading player in the spirulina dietary supplements market.
Currently, DIC makes Linablue in Hainan Island in China, where it operates another spirulina production facility. However, having a second extraction facility in California will enable it to respond more effectively to demand in the US, said the firm, which has been operating at full capacity at the Hainan Island site for some time.
What is Spirulina?
A nutrient-rich blue-green algae that grows naturally in lakes in Africa and Central and South America, Spirulina contains more than 50 vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron, and thrives in high-alkaline waters where other organisms cannot survive. It is also high in protein, fiber and gamma-linolenic acid.
Earthrise grows spirulina in water from the Colorado river, whih is pumped through canals to large settling ponds, through filters and into the growing ponds. The production system employs a closed-loop system where everything is recycled.
Clean water, carbon and nutrients are added daily to feed the algae, which is mixed by huge paddle wheels.

OSU Researchers Unveil Superfood Seaweed That Tastes Just Like Bacon
Posted by Algix in In the news | 0 comments
Experts at the Oregon State University originally planned to grow high-quality abalone by feeding it with a new strain of algae. However, a business professor saw the potential of the patented seaweed as a superfood that surprisingly tastes like bacon. (Photo : Photo: Akuppa John Wigham | Flickr ) Experts from the Oregon State University (OSU) have developed a superfood that is made out of seaweed but surprisingly tastes like bacon. The unexpected mix of food elements was unveiled after a new strain of dulse, which is a red marine algae, was patented for the consumption of a sea creature. According to the experts, the bacon-tasting superfood is packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. The original objective of the project is to develop a superfood for abalone, says Chris Langdon from the OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center. High-quality abalone is of utmost essentiality, particularly in Asia. The research team fed abalones with their patented dulse and later found that the growth rate was able to surpass the numbers indicated in the literature. Although there have been expressed interests towards the possibility of making dulse available for humans, the researchers focused on using it to feed the abalone alone. Dulse or Palmaria are wild seaweeds that grow along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. These sea resources may provide income as its dried form used as cooking ingredient can be sold by up to $90 per pound. The researchers at OSU developed and controlled a new strain of this algae, which had been budding in their laboratories for 15 years. The new strain resembles a red algae that have a translucent appearance, and is said to contain antioxidants and 16 percent of protein when dried. The possible feasibility of this new strain for other uses aside from abalone consumption started when Chuck Toombs, a faculty member in the College of Business at OSU saw the growing dulse in Langdon's office. He was then looking for a probable project for his students taking up business and when he saw the seaweeds in the bubbling containers, his interest set in. "Dulse is a super-food, with twice the nutritional value of kale," says Toombs. "And OSU had developed this variety that can be farmed, with the potential for a new industry for Oregon." Toombs then collaborated with OSU's Food Innovation Center. A team of product development specialists then used dulse as the main ingredient for a variety of new food items. Although dulse is highly nutritious, has a wide range of uses (dried or fresh) and can grow swiftly, making it a good candidate for economic purposes, Gil Sylvia, director of the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station at OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center says no complete investigation had been made regarding its economic feasibility. Nonetheless, the Oregon Department of Agriculture awarded a grant to the research group for them to further study and investigate on dulse as a "specialty crop." With this, the team was able to collaborate with Jason Ball, who used to work for the University of Copenhagen's Nordic Food Lab, where he mentored chefs to use local products more efficiently. His main contribution to the team is his 'culinary research' chef's perspective, says Sylvia. At present, some chefs based in Portland are now looking at the potential uses of fresh dulse, and according to them, dulse may have significant applicabilities both as a raw seaweed or a food additive. The MBA students of Toombs are currently mapping out a marketing plan for a new series of specialty food items and studying the possibility for creating a new industry in the aquaculture sector.
