The number of new cars that were sold in May fell 8.5% compared to May 2016, with buyers more cautious in the run-up to the general election, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has said.
According to the SMMT, there were 186,265 new cars registered in May. But sales of electrical or hybrid cars rebounded after a fall in sales in April. They now have a record 4.4% market share in the UK, the largest it has ever been.
So far in 2017, around 1.1 million new cars have been registered, around 0.6% less than the previous year.
Chief Executive of SMMT, Mike Hawes said: "Although demand has fallen, it's important to remember that the market remains at a very high level and with a rate of new models packed with the latest low-emission and connected technology coming to market this summer, we expect the market to remain strong over the year,"
Why the decline? – CamTrak – Accident Cameras
There are a couple of reasons why we have seen a considerable decline in the number of new cars registered in May, one of which we mentioned earlier – the run-up to the general election.
Another reason is that on 1 April the new Vehicle Exercise Duty (VED) came into force. Meaning that those considering purchasing a new car rushed to get it done before the 1st April. In March a record 562,337 new vehicles were registered as buyers rushed to beat the rise in VED.
"We expected demand in the new car market to remain negative in May due to the pull-forward to March," Mr Hawes said.
"Added to this, the general election was always likely to give many pauses for thought and affect purchasing patterns in the short term."
Over half of all vehicles sold in May were petrol driven, a slight increase on the previous year, whereas the sale of diesel cars had dropped by 20% from the previous year.

The Speakman Sensorflo S9512 is a replacement for our old Moen Monticello bathroom faucet. The hot-water handle snapped a few weeks ago so with little kids in the house, we thought it might be worth ditching the handles all together and upgrading to a hands-free faucet. After some online research and reading other consumer reviews, we settled on the Speakman Sensorflo S-9512. How does it fair?
Before purchasing this seemingly expensive kitchen faucet, I did a little research. What got me was the review I read on Amazon that said something to the effect of "It is the Hummer of kitchen faucets". While not a Hummer owner myself, I was sold.
I am extremely please to write that our situation with Jacks Wholesale Windows has come to a close. We first purchased the windows from Jack's a few years ago and we had several issues at first. I'm happy to say that those issues have all been resolved and faith in Jack's Wholesale Windows has been restored.
The Kwikset 910 CNT ZW (Z-Wave) is a door lock that can be integrated into your existing home automation network. I recently took the opportunity to own one of these deadbolts and integrated it into my Vera controlled network. It was a rough start, but so far it's looking like a good investment.
Week 1
I have been a loyal customer of Comcast for at least 4 years. In that time, my internet and/or cable service was interrupted 4 times. Each time this occurred, I would call the Customer Service line and find out that there was a past due amount. The first three times, I had forgot the schedule the payment and was a few days past due. Really? You'll shut off my service for being past due a few days?
The American Red Cross has a line of emergency preparedness products called Eton. The Microlink FR160 is one of the smaller FM/AM/Weather Band/Flashlight/USB Charger devices in that line. Is it worth its weight in renewable energy? Let's see...
Not too long ago, it was time to start baby-proofing our house. We have a lot of sharp corners on surfaces in our house, especially near common areas like the living room. We purchased a cushion edge kit at Toys r Us for around $20. I must say this was a wise investment.
Last fall I purchased Pictionary Man. What a great investment. We spread its simplistic, creative joy throughout each of our family events over the holiday season. The game comes with a cylinder, a box, a figurine, dry-erase marker, and supposedly a score card and rag to keep the surfaces clean between rounds

Post subject: From Food to Freedom and Purity
I have often felt that eating food was an experience to know the land the earth and the powers thereof .
At times when I am fasting I find the yearning association of that information which comes from the food eaten .
Some foods I have eaten come from many parts of the world .
We see this in our super-market produce the labels tell where the food was grown and manufatured etc.
As I read and re-read from Joachim's book , I am gain a great deal of confidence and education on how I should proceed to become inediate which is my goal and my desire .
I truly want to experience this style of living .
We have just been told by our government that Haudralic fracturing for gas and oil are going to statrt in our Territory very soon , thus it does appear to me that this style of living as an inediate is the only way to be able to live without the contaminations of toxic waste from this industry and the cost of buying clean water would be eliminated .
I look forward to any encouragement you may be able to share with me as well any advice as I strive for this goal .

Post subject: Transition?
It sounds like you fast periodically.
Is it your case that when you fast then you feel hunger? Do you run into some kind of wall that has you turn back to food?
As for advice, I don't know if I should say anything. I hope that my questions will illuminate your perspective. I think I also poke you with questions because I would like to understand others' experiences more deeply.

In case there is a vvall, something I much have issues vvith personally is ovvnership.
I enjoy minimalism a lot.
Ovvnership as in
1. humans used as cattle, not that many other beings are not also..
2. relied upon as a source of strength/protection/terror addiction, often dragged into violent thinking
3. plans for vvhat I should be doing in the future, not arranged marriage in nature.
4. desire for brains.
5. having been filled vvith so much during this life that I am like bogged dovvn; text, entertainment, knovvledge, food etc.; like fed up for getting slaughtered or something like that.
I do fear psychiatry is like a soulslaughtering place..

Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board Elects First Woman Chair
Friday, June 08, 2012 | 04:54am
NASHVILLE –The Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board unanimously elected Mary Ross as the new Chairperson effective July 1. Ross is the first woman to be elected to the position which oversees three Tennessee State Veterans Homes.
Ross began her military career in the United States Army in 1974. She served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm with the 2nd Brigade Task Force, 101st Airborne Division. Ross retired in July 1995 as a Sergeant First Class. Ross is currently the National Commander for Women Veterans of America and Deputy Executive Director for Operation Stand Down Nashville, Inc. which assists veterans facing issues such as homelessness. She is also active in the Women Veterans Network, Tennessee Valley Health Care System, VFW, American Legion and has been a member of the Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board since 2006. The accomplished Veteran has also been the TSVH Audit Committee Chair since 2006. In April, Ross was named Tennessee's First Woman Veteran of the Year during the First Annual Women Veterans Summit.
Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder is an Ex-Officio member of the Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board.
"Providing high quality health care for our Veterans is our commitment and we believe Mary's experience makes her a natural leader for the Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board," Grinder said. "We are confident Mary's vision and compassion for Veterans will continue to be incredible assets for the board and TSVH."
"It has been a pleasure to work with Mary as a board member over the past several years and we are pleased to see her transition into this critical leadership role," TSVH Director Ed Harries said. "Our Veterans deserve the best and Mary is clearly an expert in serving and advocating for our country's brave men and women."
Current TSVH Chairman Robert D. "Bob" Tuke is term limited but was elected as vice-chair.
Governor Bill Haslam has appointed three new TSVH Board Members effective July 1, 2012. Retired Major General Jackie Wood, Williamson County Mayor Rogers Anderson and Don Mathis will each serve a three-year term.
Major General (ret) Jackie Dan Wood enlisted in the United States Army in 1961 and later served a tour of duty as a Sergeant in Vietnam. In 1965, Wood enlisted in the Tennessee National Guard where he completed Officer Candidate School at the Tennessee Military Academy. General was appointed as the 73rd Adjutant General of Tennessee in 1995.
Major (ret) Don Mathis served 21 years in the United States Marine Corps and served two tours of duty in Vietnam. Mathis was a supervisor at Textile Manufacturing in Dayton, Tennessee before he started working as the Rhea County Service Officer assisting Veterans with claims for federal benefits. Mathis is currently serving on several committees with the American Legion.
Mayor Rogers Anderson served 25 years in the United States Air Force before retiring to become Williamson County's Mayor in 2002. During his military career, Anderson served tours in Africa and Vietnam. Mayor Anderson is a University of Tennessee-Knoxville graduate and has served on boards for the Williamson Medical Center and Williamson County United Way.
The Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs is committed to serving veterans and their families with dignity and compassion.

Now, where do I begin?
Perhaps I should start with the moment I picked this smartphone up. The sudden rush of wonder that coursed through my body caught me by surprise. I had seen this handset before in photos and in videos but here, actually holding it in my hand, gave the smartphone an entirely new vibe, a vibe I didn't expect.
It was almost like a concept phone. Something, at least in its current incarnation, would never make it to the production line because it was too intricate, too complex. It looked like something Samsung would make just to show off as a "technological achievement".
Only it's isn't. It's not some "for display purposes only" concept smartphone. This is the new Galaxy S8, Samsung's latest flagship smartphone that's going on sale early next month. And that's when the most ridiculous, uncontrollable smile spread across my face.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and everyone in between, the phone of tomorrow is finally here.
Too expensive and not convincing enough.
agreed………………….and the most sucks issue is the battery can't even last a day.
Yes, too expensive… but it is the market not for flagship. Iphone is not cheap either…
Get Mi6 but it also not cheap anymore…
Everyone is pushing the price down, so does computers and broadband pricing. Why are the phones pricing keep going out illogically and the value given is not far from the rest. Might as well take a Mi6!
in a way when you mentioned iphone, yes iphone is always expensive. but it is not (quiet) a comparable situation because Samsung is paddling in the Android world. there are lots of choices if you choose Android. But if you want ios, there is no option but Apple. and when you have no option, it is not expensive.
a teardown by iFixit revealed that S8+ uses the exact battery as the "fired-out" Note 7!
Now Sammy says that its not the battery that's at fault.
its their software.
wtf r they saying now???
are u guys really going for the 8 version?
u go figure.
pls beware of one thing.
iFixit teardown reveals that the battery for the 8+ version is identical to the "fired-out" Note 7.
u go figure…..
Hmm, where did you get this info? iFixit only states that it has the same capacity and design, not the same version or even model. Get your facts right before you type.
Just over 2 hours of SOT? This has rendered the phone useless from the get go…
how much does samsung pay u guys? i have no idea anyway as i have adblock on.
This phone cost almost a I7 notebook, is really mad pricing!!!
I think the price for next iphone will be more than S8+ and can buy gaming i7 notebook too… 🙂
Battery capacity is so damn important nowadays that to me it can make or breake a phone useability. I just dont like people being apologetic with such sucky battery capability/capacity with argument like "it has fast charging bla-bla", "u can reduce the screen resolution", "turn off always on display". Whats the point of having such great features but u have to turn it off or reduce the function most of the time? u are paying high price for the said capabilities..
A 'minor' samsung hater here. Reason :
– They invent the first galaxy note and cause the phone getting bigger and bigger every year since.
– They placed the back button at the right hand side causing their follower (xiaomi and lenovo) to follow.
But the S8, they had did a very great job. The price not expensive consider to the evolutionary technologies that they puts in. The fruit brand are expensive but not samsung.
Revolution phone cant wait to get 1
Future proof tech
So far most sites reported 4-5 hours of SOT. Only this site has 2 hours. Was it because the camera was used too frequently? Or other site did not turn on the QHD resolution (did you?).
For those complaining about pricing and comparing with laptop, I look at it this way, how much time you spend on your phone vs your lappy. I spend a lot of time on the mobile and thus would consider it well spent on a great device with great screen!
Actually I am more looking forward to the Note 8. I have always been a Note user since note 2.
Note 5 is still serving me well at the moment although it is coming to 2 years now. Had it since launch day 1.
I think I will sit this one out and see whether Samsung has got their act together after the Note 7 incident.
I hope Note 8 would give us 6GB RAM and better battery life
i went from s7e to Note8, & go then back again..
Made my mind if SME give nothing to previous note8 owners for/to purchase s8, no offers/special deals whatsover, i will skip it.
& having read a few review including yours, yeah i will deffo skip s8.
thanks for good review
I very like this smart phone.

One of the UK's biggest mortgage lenders, Halifax, has announced it is to withdraw from the self-build mortgage market due to a fall in demand from borrowers.
Self-build mortgages, will continue to be offered by Lloyds Banking Group through its BM Solutions brand, via brokers only.
Regarded as a niche area of the mortgage sector, self-build mortgages have made a gradual return to the market since the peak of the financial crisis, with twenty-eight lenders currently offering such deals, compared with twenty-two in January 2010.
The news follows Halifax's announcement last week that it would be closing up to 170 of its branches across the UK, resulting in a large number of job losses. The move is believed to be part of an ongoing cost-cutting programme by the bank.
A spokeswoman for Lloyds Banking Group said: "The requirements for self-build/building lending can be complex; therefore we have decided to streamline and focus our approach in this sector.
"This will not impact on the amount of self-build lending we do across the group, but managing it through one brand will allow us to offer a more focused proposition."

Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, of Missouri, is threatening to block President Barack Obama's choice for Environmental Protection Agency administrator until plans are resolved for a long-stalled levee project in southeast Missouri.
Blunt and Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill expressed disappointment on Monday that the EPA and two other agencies missed a self-imposed March 15 deadline to establish a plan to move forward with the St. Johns Bayou and New Madrid Floodway project.
Construction to close a 1,500-foot gap in the levee was halted in 2007 due to technical problems with the project's Environmental Impact Statement.
Obama announced his choice of Gina McCarthy as EPA chief earlier this month. Blunt says he'll use a parliamentary procedure known as a hold to block the nomination until the levee issue is resolved.

Who will be the 2012 Coverboy of the year? Watch our trailer to see who the top three finalists are and then visit http://www.metroweekly.com or pick up an issue on Thursday, Dec. 13, to learn who the winner is.
LGBT rights groups, lead by Equality Virginia, the largest such group in the state, are rallying around a antidiscrimination bill ahead of the 2013 legislative session – just 30-days long, starting Jan. 9.
The bill, SB701, would prohibit employment discrimination based upon a person's sexual orientation or gender identity, defining ''sexual orientation'' as a person's actual or perceived heterosexuality, bisexuality or homosexuality, and also as gender identity or expression. Ahead of the 2013 session, the bill has already been introduced by Sen. A. Donald McEachin (D-Richmond, Henrico, Charles City), and co-sponsored by the General Assembly's sole out gay legislator, Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Arlington, Alexandria).
Three similar bills failed in the House of Delegates in the 2012 session, killed in committee. A Senate bill introduced last session was also killed after Republicans, who hold an 8-7 edge on the Committee on General Laws and Technology, forced a party-line vote on a motion denying debate on the bill. During the 2011 session, when Democrats controlled the upper chamber, a similar bill passed the Senate, but later died in committee in the House.
Kevin Clay, a spokesman for Equality Virginia, says that along with legislative action in the General Assembly, the organization is trying to secure employment protections for LGBT residents in eight local jurisdictions. But Clay also cautioned that due to a law on the books known as Dillon's Rule, which limits the authority of local government, such local ordinances have little legal standing.
Notably, the push for SB701 follows news of discrimination – whether actual or perceived – against LGBT Virginians.
In one case, a former women's volleyball coach at Richmond's Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), James Finley, says he was fired Nov. 19 because he is gay. Finley also told ESPN in a Dec. 5 interview that the university's new athletic director demoted the only other out gay employee under his supervision shortly after meeting her partner. VCU President Michael Rao advised the university community in a Nov. 30 email that Finley's firing is being investigated.
In May, the fiercely anti-gay Family Foundation led a fight to keep Tracy Throne-Begland, a Navy veteran and a state prosecutor at the time, from becoming Virginia's first out gay judge. A temporary appointment sidestepped the GOP opposition in the General Assembly, though he faces a confirmation vote in 2013.
New data released Nov. 20 by the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, found that 80 percent of transgender and gender-non-conforming people in the commonwealth experienced harassment or mistreatment on the job; more than one in five lost a job; and more than one in four were denied a promotion because of their gender identity.
''From our perspective, from the VCU coach allegations to Tracy Thorne-Begland's rejection for a judgeship earlier this year all highlight the need for sexual orientation protections in employment,'' Clay said. ''It's absolutely crucial that we get a law passed and get those protections in place.''
To organize constituents supportive of the legislation, Equality Virginia and Progress Virginia have created a website, supportsb701.org, featuring an online petition calling for a change in Virginia laws to provide nondiscrimination protections in public employment, which will then be sent to legislators. The groups have also been holding roundtable discussions across the state to help spread awareness among the general public, and collecting statements of support from local mayors, city or county councilmembers and school board members who can use their positions to influence General Assembly lawmakers.
''This is really commonsense legislation,'' says Anna Scholl, executive director of Progress Virginia. ''We've actually had many people who are shocked that these protections aren't in place for Virginia's state workers.''
Advocates of SB701 are hopeful that such grassroots organizing will eventually pay dividends and build momentum for the bill, which faces an uphill battle in a Republican-controlled House and an evenly split Senate where Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R), a gay-rights opponent, serves as the tiebreaking vote.
''Virginia's new slogan is 'Open for Business,' but that doesn't apply to its LGBT citizens,'' Clay says. ''Yet 88 percent of Fortune 500 companies already have some employment protections that at least include sexual orientation, which allows them to recruit and keep talent.
''Businesses already understand this. It's just time for the government – and Virginia – to catch up.''...more

Unlike Microsoft Word, Excel does not provide a button to create a bulleted list in text. However, there are several ways that you can add bullets to a worksheet in Excel.
Insert a bullet symbol into a cell
To quickly add a bullet symbol to a cell, double click in the cell where you want to add your bullet symbol, and then press ALT+7 or ALT+9 using the numeric keypad on your keyboard.
To add additional bullet symbols within the same cell, press ALT+ENTER to add a line break within the cell, and then repeat the ALT+7 or ALT+9 key combination.
Note: If you do not have a numeric keypad on your keyboard or are using a laptop computer, you can enable Num Lock so that you'll have a numeric keypad to use. On most laptops, to enable Num Lock, you press SHIFT+Num Lock or Fn+Num Lock. If your laptop (typically a smaller model, such as a netbook) doesn't have a Num Lock key, see its documentation to learn how to enable it.
Do one of the following:
To add a bullet to an empty cell on the worksheet, click the cell.
Tip: Do this when you want to insert bullets in a separate column from the one that contains the list items.
To add a bullet to a cell that contains list items, double-click the cell, and then place the insertion point where you want the bullet to appear.
Tip: Do this when you want the bullet and list items to appear in the same cell. To break existing text to a new line or to insert a new line in a cell so that you can create a list, press ALT+ENTER.
On the Insert tab, in the Symbols group (Excel 2010-2016) or Text group (Excel 2007), click Symbol.
In the Symbol dialog box, on the Symbols tab, in the Font box, click the font that you want to use.
In the Symbol box, use the scroll bar to locate the bullet symbol that you want to insert.
Tip: Different fonts provide different symbols. If your font does not provide the bullet or other symbol that you want, try selecting a font such as Wingdings.
Click the bullet symbol that you want, click Insert, and then click Close.
To add more bullets, do one of the following:
To add additional bullet symbols to the same cell, press ALT+ENTER to add a line break within the same cell.
If you inserted the bullet in a cell that contains text, you can copy and paste it to other locations in the text of that cell or to text in other cells.
If you inserted the bullet in its own cell, you can drag the fill handle to repeat the bullet symbol in adjacent cells.
Note: The fill handle is displayed by default, but if it is not available, you must display it first. For information about how to display the fill handle, see Display or hide the fill handle.
Copy a bulleted list from Word
If you have already created a bulleted list in Word, and want to copy that bulleted list into Excel, do the following:
Copy the bulleted list in Word, and then in Excel, do one of the following:
To add the entire bulleted list to a single cell, double click in the cell where you want to paste the bulleted list, and then press CRTL+V.
To add the bulleted list to the worksheet so that each bulleted item appears in its own row, click in the cell (do not double click) where you want the first bulleted list item to appear, and then press CRTL+V.

It's against safety regulations to drive over 25 mph using night vision IF there was no GPS or roadsigns we'd just get out the 'ol map and compass, pay attention to our odometers and we'd get there just the same.

.....These stickers mark routes for a specific pre-determined plan. Maps alone could never follow a secret route network without confirmation, point of reference indicators.
As for reading the markers on the back of the signs. Again you didn't read much of the website. The military staging areas page gives the answer to this objection. READ! Training at Camp Grayling with night vision and "reverse reflective illumination" can read the back of road signs from the drivers seat with a infrared light . I have been to the "land navigational training grounds" at the Camp and there are road signs setup with markers on them. They drive totally in the dark with night vision at 50 mph through trails with only a small infrared slit-light on the back of the vehicle to read the markers with perfect directional clarity. READ about it on the website!!!!

Quote from Washington Post article clearly says "military": Note the photo of the "arrow up" on the sign, the signcode website has been noting arrow-up signs as military codes back well before 911.
"Left unsaid is what wide-scale catastrophe might prompt an order for 180,000 federal workers, 572,000 residents and countless commuters, tourists and visitors to leave Washington on a typical workday -- or require military or out-of-state emergency crews to steer their way downtown."

I was told by a special forces Marine who trained with British troops at Camp Grayling, Michigan that the markers are read through rear-view mirrors. And they use an infrared slit light on the back of their vehicles to illuminate the markers. As H. Green points out on his website, directional value of the markers are navigationally correct from the drivers seat because things are viewed backwards in mirrors. This does work because we have tried it many times and found it to be true. This way you do not have to stop or look back at the back of the sign for directions. Markers on the opposite side of the road are easily viewed as you are looking at the back of those signs anyway. Whether they can drive at 50 miles an hour with night vision and do this I do question, but that is what the Marine said.
I have personally seen the signs on the land navigation range at Camp Grayling and they are practicing using arrow configurations and markers on the backs of the signs.

Water Stocks Sector Close- Up; Environmental Impact of Produced Water in Oil and Gas Industry
How Nature Group (LSE: NGR-GB.L), Siemens (NYSE: SI) Water Technologies and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE) are providing Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry
Point Roberts, WA, Delta, BC - April 23, 2009 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research portal covering water, environment and oil and gas sectors, presents a water stocks sector close-up on produced water in the oil and gas industry, problems and solutions. Publicly traded companies providing solutions include Nature Group (LSE: NGR-GB.L), Siemens (NYSE: SI) Water Technologies and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE ).
According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), part of DOE's national laboratory system, approximately 15-20 billion bbl (barrels; 1 bbl = 42 U.S. gallons) of produced water are generated each year in the United States from nearly a million wells, and more than 50 billion bbl of produced water are generated each year at thousands of wells in other countries.
As water and environmental issues now play a major role in the future of the oil and gas industry, here is how three public companies are coming up with solutions.
Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB:WSCE) an oil and gas solutions provider of water remediation and environmental technologies , announced in December 08, that Weatherford International Ltd., (NYSE: WFT) had executed a letter of intent for the testing of Wescorp's wholly-owned water remediation technology, H2Omaxx, in two projects in South America. H2Omaxx is a water remediation unit that consistently provides safe, effective and economical separation of oil from produced water.
When asked if Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE ) technology works for all produced water applications, on shore and off shore, Dave LeMoine, Vice President of Business Development commented, "In general the answer would be yes, Wescorp's technology has been independently proven to have a high level of scalability and effectiveness, allowing it to be used on a single well to multi well applications or projects such as Offshore Platforms or in conventional or unconventional oil development such as the Oilsands in Alberta. Wescorp gives the oil companies three streams, Clean water Clean solids and Ultrafines and resalable oil
The client problem could be environmental, cost related, regulatory compliancy, revenue generated, process improvement based, or a host of other issues. "
According to NATURE GROUP's (LSE:NGR-GB.L), CEO, Richard Eldridge, " There is now wide agreement within the petroleum industry, governments and scientists that focus should now be put on dissolved organic components, heavy metals and production chemicals. The oil in water content shall be as low as possible and the industry shall make use of best available technology (BAT)."
The Nature process for treatment of produced water is based on addition of patented
coagulant/flocculant in existing or partially modified water systems. The agent is injected
into the produced water upstream a static mixer or various process equipment (pumps,
valves etc.) to provide sufficient in- mixing. The agent separates dispersed and dissolved
hydrocarbons and is floated and skimmed off in a flotation vessel downstream the in-mixing
SIEMENS A G ADR (NYSE: SI) Siemens Water Technologies was recently selected by Petro-Canada to provide a system for treating coal-bed-methane (CBM) produced water at the Mitchell Draw CBM Project near Gillette, Wyoming, USA. The system will treat 72,000 barrels per day (3 MGD) of CBM produced water, removing contaminants like sodium (Na) and total dissolved solids (TDS), which will allow the plant to meet current state regulatory requirements.
Siemens states it has 750 onshore and offshore produced water treatment systems, treating about 6 million barrels of water per day.
According to Eddy Isaacs, managing director of the Alberta Energy Research Institute, "Companies now have to worry about the environment as much as they need to worry about their production." *1
So What is Produced Water?
The US Department of the Interior defines Produced water as "mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. It can contain very minor amounts of chemicals added downhole during production. These waters exist under high pressures and temperatures, and usually contain oil and metals. Because of this, they must be treated prior to being discharged overboard. As with drilling muds, following treatment, they must be tested for toxicity and cannot exceed set discharge rates."
Most produced waters contain combinations or mixture of: Dissolved inorganic salts, dispersed oil droplets, dissolved organic compounds (dissolved "oil"),treatment and workover chemicals dissolved gases (particularly hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide),bacteria and other living organisms, and dispersed solid particles.
The Produced Water Society reports, "The ability to efficiently and economically dispose of this water is critical to the success in the oil production business. "

Still, we can hypothesize, even if we cannot prove and establish. My hypothesis is this: that the spout is nothing but mist. And besides other reasons, to this conclusion I am impelled, by considerations touching the great inherent dignity and sublimity of the Sperm Whale; I account him no common, shallow being, inasmuch as it is an undisputed fact that he is never found on soundings, or near shores; all other whales sometimes are. He is both ponderous and profound. And I am convinced that from the heads of all ponderous profound beings, such as Plato, Pyrrho, the Devil, Jupiter, Dante, and so on, there always goes up a certain semi-visible steam, while in the act of thinking deep thoughts. While composing a little treatise on Eternity, I had the curiosity to place a mirror before me; and ere long saw reflected there, a curious involved worming and undulation in the atmosphere over my head. The invariable moisture of my hair, while plunged in deep thought, after six cups of hot tea in my thin shingled attic, of an August noon; this seems an additional argument for the above supposition.

Image credit His motions plainly denoted his extreme exhaustion. In most land animals there are certain valves or flood-gates in many of their veins, whereby when wounded, the blood is in some degree at least instantly shut off in certain directions. Not so with the whale; one of whose peculiarities it is to have an entire non-valvular structure of the blood-vessels, so that when pierced even by so small a point as a harpoon, a deadly drain is at once begun upon his whole arterial system; and when this is heightened by the extraordinary pressure of water at a great distance below the surface, his life may be said to pour from him in incessant streams. Yet so vast is the quantity of blood in him, and so distant and numerous its interior fountains, that he will keep thus bleeding and bleeding for a considerable period; even as in a drought a river will flow, whose source is in the well-springs of far-off and undiscernible hills. Even now, when the boats pulled upon this whale, and perilously drew over his swaying flukes, and the lances were darted into him, they were followed by steady jets from the new made wound, which kept continually playing, while the natural spout-hole in his head was only at intervals, however rapid, sending its affrighted moisture into the air. From this last vent no blood yet came, because no vital part of him had thus far been struck. His life, as they significantly call it, was untouched. Continue reading Crews were awaiting the arrival

The field mouse, now that it was freed from its enemy, stopped short; and coming slowly up to the Woodman it said, in a squeaky little voice: "Oh, thank you! Thank you ever so much for saving my life." "Don't speak of it, I beg of you," replied the Woodman. "I have no heart, you know, so I am careful to help all those who may need a friend, even if it happens to be only a mouse." "Only a mouse!" cried the little animal, indignantly.

Many growers this year had soybeans still green at harvest. We experience some degree of this problem every year, but this year we saw more than we have ever seen before. Stinkbugs, aerial blight, three-cornered alfalfa hoppers, the use of foliar fungicides, late-season cercospora and anything else that might alter seed set have the potential to cause this problem.
Fields that remained green were not unlike a condition observed frequently in Louisiana known as green bean syndrome. What we observed in Mississippi were plants that stayed green, but pods matured. Ironically even with this problem, all of the fields we have looked at had an excellent yield potential, even though harvest may have been slowed.
The problem did not occur in every field, nor did it occur in 100 percent of any one variety. In our 65 fields in our SMART program the last two years we have seen this problem only in one field (on Oct. 10, 2002), and it was a late-planted field behind wheat. Still, it has an excellent yield potential.
Several varieties have exhibited the problem — some more than others. Some of the varieties many have expressed concern about have cut beans from the mid 70s to the low 80s.
I believe stinkbugs contributed significantly to the problem. We have seen stinkbugs cause fields to stay green around field borders in years past.
Stinkbug numbers have continued to build and over the last few years they have been found farther north than ever before. Several mild winters, lack of control in bean fields, and the reduction of spraying due to the boll weevil eradication program have contributed to an increase in problems due to stinkbugs.
Twenty years ago it was a common occurrence for producers in south Mississippi to spray stinkbugs every year, often twice. This was a widespread practice and stinkbugs were more concentrated south of I-20.
This is the third year we have dealt with high numbers and it will probably be no different next year. Please get prepared and scout fields at least once a week from bloom through the end of pod-fill.
Even with high numbers, stinkbugs have been very variable. They occurred in some early-planted fields early and not others. Later in the season they became more widespread as corn, rice, and grain sorghum began to dry down. As plants mature, you can tolerate higher numbers, but you have to scout for them to accurately determine what and when to spray.
Our current thresholds do not appear to be adequate. For example, from mid-pod fill through when pods have become golden in color, the threshold is nine per 25 sweeps. In my opinion, if I have watched a sub-threshold population of stinkbugs of four per 25 sweeps for two weeks, I am most likely going to spray.
Current guidelines do not address resident sub-threshold populations; this is where you have to apply some sound reasoning. Experience has shown us what they are doing, and I think we need to get them under control before they begin reproducing in the field. Allowing sub-threshold numbers to feed for an extended time has proven to be a mistake.
I know many will disagree with this comment. But if you spend as much time in the same fields week after week as we do, I think you can understand the confidence we place behind this strategy. The number one objective is to scout your fields. Many growers do not want to look because they do not want to find stinkbugs, worms, or whatever else is in a field.
However, we have reached a new plateau in Mississippi regarding soybean yields. We are encountering new but manageable problems.
As I mentioned earlier, numerous things can cause soybean plants to stay green but I believe stinkbugs are a major contributing factor based on what we know today. We see them more consistently and more widespread and we see the results in our SMART fields where we have controlled them.

Leroy Hood: Discovery Science pg. 8
Hood is inexhaustible and stays perpetually warmed up and ready to speak on any topic, his gears seemingly stuck in drive. A fit man with an intense gaze, only his graying hair betrays his 64 years. His days often start early with a solitary run, a time when he says he does his best thinking. Younger colleagues marvel at his stamina, finding their own energy flagging under the duress of building the infrastructure of the center while maintaining their research.
Though he's much more likely to pick up the sports page than the business section of the newspaper, Hood understands deeply how industry can serve his vision. The long-term plan, he says, is to launch small start-up companies that can develop the discoveries of institute scientists. Venture capitalists already have committed funding for a new building he calls the Accelerator, where the companies will be housed while they get a foothold.
"The business is just a means to an end for Lee," says his colleague, George Lake, "a way to get the technology matured to the point that it benefits science. If people in medicine or science have something to do with a company, that is instantly a conflict of interest, something dirty. But the fact of the matter is, if you have something that will actually improve people's well-being, if you don't get financial backing it will take years longer to develop, and whatever benefit it has is lost to those people who suffered for those years."
Hood is quick to give credit to the myriad talented scientists who have populated his large and busy labs over the years, and who are primarily responsible for the technological and methodological innovations.
"Students will often come up with solutions to problems that the mentor would neither have the time nor, in some cases, the specialized skills to solve," he says. "One of the most important roles of a mentor is to create unbounded environments where people can move in any direction they want, and to give them a problem that is unbounded and will challenge them. Then, just let them do it."
"His lab works very well for people who are independent and are able to find their own resources for learning," says Jared Roach, a physician and research scientist at the Institute. "That said, Lee is really there for you when you need him."
"He's very open to people having done different things with their life—it's one of his endearing qualities," adds Lee Rowen, a senior research scientist at the Institute who has doctoral degrees in biochemistry and philosophy.
Since his days in medical school, when he volunteered to teach science to inner-city high school students, Hood also has been committed to K-12 science education. He and his wife currently are involved in an effort to revise the way science is taught in Seattle public schools.
The goal: to lift science education from the doldrums of rote memorization to a more active, inquiry-based method, one that sparks interest in young minds and instills a long-lasting habit of questioning. The program, supported by a National Science Foundation grant, includes summer workshops for teachers. "You just have to go and see kids getting turned on by hands-on, inquiry-based thinking to realize that this is the way you really want to teach things," Hood says.

Table 6-25 and the related text is only a short summary of the
unification rules. There is more documentation on it for example
in the explanatory part of JIS 221 (Japanese version of ISO 10646).
There, the grass radical is listed as an example of components
unified because they were considered to be glyph variants.
It's difficult to capture the "feeling" people have about such
cases in a technically rigorous maner.

That's a good way to put it. Besides primary school teachers, there
seems to be another group, namely computer scientists with bad memories
of school. The problem is that to learn kanji, it's very important to
always use the same stroke sequence. Otherwise, you remain on the level
of drawing, you never get to writing. But that doesn't mean that all
people have to use the same sequence and other details for the rest of
their lifes, or that all fonts have to look exactly the same.
Even for school, there is more variance allowed than one usually
thinks. I have a handbook for Japanese school teachers that has
a page for each character, from first to sixth grade, and it's
amazing how many variants it lists as being acceptable.

It's not under that radical because it has nothing to do with grass
(not that yellow is not related to grass, but that the origin of
this shape is completely different, namely the tip of a flame).

It's a T source set separation issue. Again, JIS 221 is very
informative here.

Hi everyone!
I didn't post much this month, had a lot of stuff going on, finally got a positive answer from the formation I applied to, so I'll have two weeks of free time, then study time ! Don't expect much from me in February / March.
But anyway, here's some music !
From the forthcoming Miike Snow EP, Silvia Remixes, three amazing remixes.
Miike Snow - Silvia (Original) [click to download]
Miike Snow - Silvia (Sinden remix) [click to download]
Sinden's remix is very relaxing, sounds like upbeat chillout, not calm, but not a banger either.
Miike Snow - Silvia (Felix Da Housecat remix) [click to download]
Second remix is from Felix Da Housecat, I don't think I've ever heard a remix from FDH that I don't like, and this one is not gonna make it change. Pretty basic, but it works like a charm, electric guitar always work... The last two minutes are pure pleasure for the ears.
Miike Snow - Silvia (Robotberget remix) [click to download]
Another great remix, from Robotberget. After some researches Robotberget seems to be Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, two of the members that form Miike Snow. And, oh well... that "auto remix" is brilliant.
I'll end this post with something a bit unusual, beatboxing. I guess that everyone knows what beatboxing is, and most of you already heard of Beardyman. If you haven't, well that guy is a freak, he makes noises with his mouth that you won't be able to.
He recently did an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. As stated in the mix, there's no mp3 or CDs played, just his voice, some special effects pads, and a keyboard.

Back in 2008, Aziz Ansari began publishing Friday Night Lights fan fiction. "The Chronicles of Smash" starts, "Its Monday morning and Brian "Smash" Williams is getting ready to go to school. There is a knock at the door. Smash's mom opens the door." WHO'S AT THE DOOR? IS IT VOODOO TATUM? You'll have to go to his blog to find out. Once you're done learning about the sexual exploits of Smash and Buddy Garrity, Jr. (I'm guessing; I haven't read the whole thing yet), come back here and pick up the story, six years later.
It's the Friday Night Lights Super Bowl. DOWN WITH J.C MCCOY UP WITH MATT SARACEN.
I'm confused: if it's Panthers versus Lions, which team is Coach Taylor, well, coaching? I assume the Lions, but Smash is still around, and he was gone by the time Coach was replaced by Wade Aikman. C'mon, Aziz, I expect better from my comical live tweets of fictional football games from a now-cancelled drama series.

'Hello World' from JigJam - infectious for all the right reasons(October 24, 2016)
Alittle over a year ago, I was introduced to 'Celtgrass' - a fusion of Celtic and Appalachian music from an Irish band called JigJam. A year on from their debut album, JigJam still turn out an iridescent mix of Irish folk and bluegrass pulled together through blistering finger work and reflective lyrics, effectively mingling tradition with originality - and the point that strikes home is the complete absence of any discernible join between the two.
Their second album 'Hello World' takes you through the depths of their respect for the styles they blend. There's impressive original compositions like 'Hello World', 'Set Me Free', 'Sometimes' and 'Why Oh Why', as for the tradition, there's 'Ireland's Green Shore' and 'The Mermaid' and to prove JigJam are unafraid to create their own take on classic bluegrass there's a terrific version of Peter Rowan's 'Dust Bowl Children'. Fast or slow, dazzling or meditative, 'Hello World' is infectious for all the right reasons.
JigJam are Jamie McKeogh (guitar, tenor banjo, bouzouki, lead vocals), Daithi Melia (five-string banjo, guitar, vocals) Cathal Guinan (double bass, fiddle, vocals) and Gavin Strappe (mandolin, tenor banjo, electric tenor guitar, vocals). 'Hello World' is infectious for all the right reasons.

There are companies that offer specialist home insurance for Northern Ireland. They cater for customers in Northern Ireland and provide a service dedicated to helping them. See below for our choice of providers and see if you can find home insurance in Northern Ireland that suits your individual needs, at the best price:
There are a wide range of offers available when looking for home insurance in Northern Ireland. Comparing different policies can help you to find the best home insurance quotes. We advise that you do not necessarily go with the cheapest home insurance, as it may not be the best one for you in terms of cover and exclusions.
Statistics show that empty houses are more likely to be at risk from dilapidation and vandalism, so empty home insurance could have higher premiums.
Empty home insurance may not be included in your buildings and contents policy, so be sure to check with your insurance provider that you are covered if your property is to be unoccupied.
You may also need to check for cover if your house is undergoing maintenance or repairs and you are unable to live there during that time. You will need to think about cover for equipment and materials as well as public liability cover.
If you are searching for empty home insurance, you may want to think about the specific things you will need to obtain cover for. Because empty home insurance is a specialist form of home insurance, some insurers may offer you the chance to tailor the policy to suit your individual needs. Compare a few prices on empty home insurance quotes to find the best deal for you.

The problem with basic ringtones is that they aren't all that identifiable – if you want to know who's calling based on the sound that's playing but don't want to have things like music just always coming from your phone, your options are limited. Enter VitaCode.
What VitaCode does is that it takes a phone number, and it turns it into a musical tone that plays when people call. Users can customize the instruments that play with the tone; 4 are available for free, with 101 in total available with the Pro version, which can be unlocked through an in-app purchase.
The app runs at startup, and replaces all ringtones with the musical tone. Right now, it is not possible to generate a single file with a ringtone, so it is an all-or-nothing proposition. The app is available as a free download from Google Play. If this app interests you, and you want to take the Pro features for a spin, you're in luck! Comment below or tweet at us for a gift code for the Pro version, unlockable in the app's settings!

Obama administration races to make Medicare changes as healthcare industry objects
Obama administration races to make Medicare changes as healthcare industry objects
As the clock clicks down on President Barack Obama's days in office, the administration remains focused on adjusting Medicare reimbursements, much to the annoyance of healthcare providers.
Several groups have pushed back against changing Medicare Part B to paying a flat fee for medications, and others have expressed concern about Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation demonstration projects.
The American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living is "not opposed to modernizing Medicare with a particular emphasis on improving quality," according to Mike Cheek, senior vice president for reimbursement.
However, it "is concerned about the number of demonstrations CMMI is putting up, many with little evidence on outcomes for beneficiaries." This includes information on Comprehensive Joint Replacement (CJR) and Bundled Payment Care Improvement (BPCI) demonstrations.
"CMMI has not released any data or preliminary information on CJR experiences because the demonstration has not been operating long enough to collect such information," Cheek said. "We question the rationale for launching three new episodes when little is understood about the first."
Cheek said AHCA "urges the agency to consider the pace of change and unknowns about existing programs before introducing more variables."
The American Hospital Association also has objected to the speed related to increasing bundled payments for hip and knee replacements. In a statement, AHA said while it supports bundled payment models, CMS should in turn "support hospitals by recognizing the significant investments of time, effort and finances that it requires to be successful under these models."
"We are concerned that, by implementing so many of these programs so quickly, and with so little, if any, evaluation of ongoing models, the agency is putting the programs' success at risk," the statement said.
In colorful terms, a former Obama administration health official and well-known healthcare policy expert said it was not surprising providers were fighting with the administration over payments.
"No s---, Sherlock," said Zeke Emanuel, M.D., professor at the University of Pennsylvania, according to The Hill. "Who are you taking the money from? You're taking the money from many of these organizations. They're going to be resistant. It's like, duh."
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services official Patrick Conway, M.D., also told The Hill he is working with Congress on the drug-pricing plan.
"I think we have engaged with members of Congress on the Part B model," he said.

Tuesday was a bad day for Charles David Kennedy.
The Jessup man was almost robbed, his car was ransacked and he was arrested on traffic charges.
Police said Kennedy, 35, of the 8100 block Sheffield Court, picked up a hitchhiker on Laurel-Bowie Road in Prince George's County.
The hitchhiker told Kennedy he wanted to go to Meade Village to buy drugs, police said. After they arrived in Meade Village, the hitchhiker went into a home on Meade Circle Road.
