The description below applies to single-or double-hung windows. Other than sash operation, cleaning is the same on all window styles.
When cleaning Low-E Pyrolytic Glass (included in Viwinco's R-4 and R-5 packages), always use a mild soap or glass-cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Make sure to adequately wet the glass surface to allow for more thorough cleaning and to help prevent streaking when drying.
If a metal object such as a razor blade comes into contact with the Low-E pyrolytic coated surface and leaves a residual deposit, use one of the following commercially available cleaners or solutions to remove it: Lime-A-Way® Cleaner; Simple Green® Lime Scale Remover; CLR-Calcium Lime and Rust Cleaner; Household Vinegar; Lysol® 4 in 1 All-Purpose Cleaner; Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Agent; Windex® Multi-Surface Vinegar Cleaner.
After cleaning, completely rinse the solution from the glass to return it to its original appearance.

Maintaining the original color characteristics and retaining resistance to cracking are critical to years of problem free performance of PVC products such as vinyl windows and doors, and vinyl siding. Both color retention and impact resistance are significantly harmed by even minor exposure to cleaners containing certain chemicals, or solvents.
Typical symptoms of harmful chemical exposure include: dark splotches, streaking, heavy yellowing, surface hazing, brittleness, cracking and distortion.
Especially harmful to PVC products are those chemical agents that originate from the same basic chemistry as that of the PVC; specifically petroleum and its derivatives. Examples of these (commonly referred to as organic solvents) are methylethylketone (MEK), acetone (Dimethyl ketone), benzene or other aromatics like xylenes/ toluene, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or other similar chemicals known as petroleum ethers or distillates.
Check the label. Cleaners containing these or other similar harmful chemicals should never be used on or near PVC products. Immediate and permanent damage can occur.
Further Reading: Additional information on caring for vinyl windows can be found on the AAMA website: http://www.aamanet.org/indexsec/3/23/Homeowners.
Hardware components that allow for sash or panel movement such as, the balance cavities on hung windows, the crank mechanism and tracks on casements, and the roller assemblies on patio doors, require occasional lubrication. Lubrication of these moving parts will extend their life and allow for ease of operation. Viwinco recommends the use of silicone spray. Do not use petroleum-based products, as they will leave a residue over time.
See Cleaning the Hardware for more information.
Viwinco has placed identifying information for service and repair in the head channel of the frame, on the edge of individual sashes, and on the screen frame.

The tuna tagging experiments conducted by South Pacific Commission's Oceanic Fisheries Programme are acknowledged to be among the most comprehensive in the world and have recently achieved yet another milestone.
After four decades of involvement in Pacific Island tuna fisheries, Program coordinator, Dr Antony Lewis recently achieved the mark of 100,000 tuna tagged by an individual, which is a world record unlikely ever to be surpassed.
The milestone was achieved during a recent tagging cruise in Papua New Guinea waters operating under the Pacific Tuna Tagging Project (PTTP) in collaboration with the PNG National Fisheries Authority.
Dr Lewis started tagging tuna in the early 1970s, but it was during the SPC's Skipjack Survey and Assessment Programme (SSAP) of the late 1970s when the numbers of tagged tuna started to accumulate.
Approximately 60% of global tuna are caught in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, and most of this catch comes from the waters of SPC-member countries.
Tagging experiments are considered to be the only reliable means of obtaining some of the key information required to conduct tuna stock assessments.

To be the number one is much more than savouring a Château Petrus in the Restaurant Le Meurice in Paris or driving from Monaco to your lakeside villa in Lago Di Como, Italy on a Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron, or even staying at the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
In reality we have an urge to find the number one in any given field of interest, whether be it in sports, business, blogs, politics or even in gossip! No athlete aims for the silver medal, no top company is fully satisfied in being number two in the market, and who ever remembers the names of past vice presidents?
In mathematics, according to the Benford Law (1), in a list of numbers from many real-life sources of data, considering only the first digit in each of these sources, the number one digit appears around 30% of the time, giving a mathematical support for this preference for number one.
Number one also expresses uniqueness: there's only one planet Earth, and among the more than 7 billion souls that populate it, there is only one of each one of us, a reason why companies today have to take into account this uniqueness in product development for the individual needs and find creative ways to keep production costs acceptably close to those of mass-production.
To be number one is really having all your material desires fully satisfied in order to pursue larger life seeking fulfilment. We all want to grow, we all want to know what is the:
As we are well aware, we all crave for number ones!
I cannot give you a solution or a set of instructions to follow on how to become a number one in your chosen topic, but I believe that our attitudes towards life determine the kind of life we will have. If we don't expect anything from life, we shall have very little of it. If we demand much, we shall receive the greater portion.
If you are looking for a domain which reflects the top standards of excellence in your life, your elite business, product or service, than Contact me to purchase this unique domain.
(1)Benford's law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists of numbers from many real-life sources of data, the leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way. According to this law, the first digit is 1 almost one third of the time, and larger digits occur as the leading digit with lower and lower frequency, to the point where 9 as a first digit occurs less than one time in twenty.

Did watching Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra have you dreaming of shooting fire from your furious fists, just like characters like Zuko, Azula, Mako, or Avatars Aang and Korra? Or perhaps your true passion aligned more with firebending's subskill of lightning generation and redirection?
In the world created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, fire, as described by Iroh, is the element of power, fueled by the unwavering desire to accomplish one's goals. Unfortunately, during the time of Avatar Aang and the Hundred Year War, a more militaristic form of firebending emerged, fueled misguidedly by emotions like hatred and anger. Benders like Azula – cold and calculating – seemed to excel in this area.
To celebrate this unique and evolving skill, here are 46 of the best firebending GIFs from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra:

In Peruvian Quechua, "sami" is a term that translates to "refined energy" and is used as a name for the life force that inhabits and connects everything.
In this photographic series titled Sami (2002-11), life-sized black and white portraits are juxtaposed with large-scale colour images of skies in order to compare humanity to nature, micro to macro, and private internal life to external force.
This series is a personal diary documenting the places I've been, the life stages I've passed through, the ones I may enter, and where I am at present. The photographs were taken in numerous countries around the world including Peru and my homeland, Canada.
Because the photographs capture a moment in the life of their subjects, they reflect time, the surface layer of reality. The stillness of the portraits imply inner depth while the skyscapes trap movement. Seen together, the photographs evoke a larger picture of life's constant shift between calm and action, showing stillness as the face of contrast and change, unsettled and uncertain.

Need to qualify better in Singapore: Adrian Sutil
Force India driver Adrian Sutil said Tuesday that they need to qualify well at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix to be held Sunday to have a better chance of bagging points.
"We've got to qualify well to give ourselves the best chance of scoring points. We are still close to McLaren in the championship and we need to make sure we keep a healthy margin ahead of Toro Rosso and Sauber," said Sutil, who will race in his fifth Singapore GP.
Not his favourite hunting ground, but the German has begun to like the Marina Bay Street Circuit over the years. "It's not my favourite track but it's one of those places that I've come to like more and more. There are some nice sections and it's quite wide for a street circuit, which helps with overtaking.
I always enjoy street races and the city is amazing. The atmosphere means it's definitely one of the best races of the year," added the 30-year-old, who finished eighth the last time he raced here in 2011.

I guess I always thought that the most common synonym of the term "Exit" is not "stop" but "leave". In the same vein I belive "quit" means "stop" in it's most common usage.

I'd recommend logging a bug and adding a note where appropriate that states "Exit" is a deprecated alias for "Quit". So far as the bugs are concerned, it's typically more work to make the app use "Exit" rather than just use the GTK_STOCK_QUIT stock item. -- Peace, Jim Cape http://ignore-your.tv "We still name our military helicopter gunships after victims of genocide.

Malta man accused of fraudulently obtaining handicapped parking privileges
A Malta man was arrested this morning for allegedly obtaining a handicapped parking privileges with a forged doctor's note.
Travis Witt, 27, of Malta, who works for the state Department of Health, faces four felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree and one misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the third degree, according to a news release from Acting State Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott.
An investigation by the IG's office determined that in May of last year, Witt received handicapped parking privileges in the Empire State Plaza with a forged doctor's note. The defendant has also admitted to submitting time records that indicated he worked full days when he hadn't actually worked at all.
"New Yorkers have every right to expect that state employees will comport themselves with the highest degree of honesty and integrity," Scott said in a statement. "Fraudulently obtaining handicapped parking not only is unlawful, but potentially inhibits the rights of New Yorkers with disabilities in need of accessible parking. Further, any fraudulent abuse of time and attendance records undermines public trust. Such conduct is not tolerable."
Witt was arraigned today and held in Albany County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash or bond. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

So i have been on suboxone for about 3 years now. When i first started taking them i was taking 4 8mg pills a day. Then when i found out i was pregnant i started to cut myself back with the help of my doctor. Well i am due in 2 weeks and have gotten myself down to the 2mg pill and break it into quarters and take about 1mg a day sometimes only .5mg. I am trying to completely be off them before my daughter comes but i know the withdrawl is not good for me or her. Jus curious if you think she will come out with withdrawl symptoms if i cant get off the .5mg and how bad her symptoms will be??
How does suboxone affect a newborn baby?

I read a report on Msn that said there was less chance of the baby having withdrawal from wu ozone than methadone or opiates, but there were some mom's on 12 mgs whose baby had no withdrawal and some mom's on 2 mgs whose babies did have some. They couldn't explain it. My guess would be that since you have been using a dr who knows you are on it, you are in the best position to both be fine. Many mom's are on it and don't tell the ob or the pediatrician, find a pediatrician who has worked with newborns whose mom's were on subs,mynah is your best bet, it is more common than you think. That is why MSN did the article, to let women know to use drs who know about sub zone. Since younhave been reducing your dose, under a drs care, you should both be fine. Get your ob to help you find a pediatrician who works with subs babies. Congrats, my prayers are with you. Patti
I am posting from a iPad and although I tried to correct some mistakes in my post, it re-corrected them and it reads sorta crazy,sorry.
thats ok i understood it. Thanks for taking the time and giving feedback
Good answer, Patti knows what she is talking about.

kite surf shop OK but make my feet sweat.Shame I wore them outside as I'd like to give them back.Expensive for what they are in my view. .......very poor foot support and not up to the job of walking anywhere with significant foot pain after a while if I do Not a patch on the Gtx vibram products from Merrill I had before. I now Seldom wear these. Bought a pair of Scarpa approach shoes to replace. A different league altogether. There Merrill's are for walking to your car, driving and wearing in the pub. Not for walking! These trainers are superb, they are sturdy and well made. If you have any chance of walking on an even slightly damp tiled floor, these are probably not for you. Ever since DC started targeting shoe lines to women about ten years ago, it's been hard for me to find a pair I actually liked and that wasn't covered in pink graffiti or something as awful, while their male lines kept getting better and cool looking but without smaller sizing. These sneakers are a good compromise - comfortable, a Brussels n the route of cleats and really expensive MTB kit. They are tough, sure, warm, water resistant (or water proof if you treat them nice) and they still look ok on the dance floor.(Well, maybe not. But buy them - just add 1.0 to 1.5 on to the size depending on what socks you like!! These shoes look good, more's the pity then that Merrell haven't given more attention to sizing. All the comments about them being too small or too narrow are entirely justified. They are!I ordered an extra half size up from my usual size and the fitting is still tighter than I would have wished from the mid foot onwards. Strangely the fitting is conversely a bit too sloppy from the mid foot backwards. How can a company like Merrell get something so fundamental so wrong? I'm hoping they will mould themselves to my feet over time. We shall see! Merrell Men's Intercept Trainer Just taken delivery of these and was a little nervous that they might not fit. No need to have worried though as I heeded the advice of other contributors and went one size up and yeah they fit like a glove!. I'm 99% confident when buying from Amazon but what ultimately draws me back kiteboard buy ought this as a gift for my niece, but I really want to keep it! It's so cute, but not in a childish way. It seems to be well made and good quality. This turned up and the seams have come apart and I've not even used it yet!!Very disappointed as looks lovely in the shape but badly made Excellent item brought this for my niece for xmas she will love it, it will be her first handbag small enough for her I have ordered this shoes in white for my daughter's communion. They fit perfectly, lovely and smart. Really pleased with price and quality. Love them soo cute stylish and easy to wear! Altho easily marked & stained! Although so far a baby wipe has cle vivienne westwood earrings lso it has extra such as glowing in the dark, surprise! This backpack is perfect for me to carry my lunch to work and other things I need it's just the perfect size Much better than expected my daughter will be delighted The best shoes ever! I wear them everywhere and they are still not worn out! I absolutely love them. They arrived on time and were in new condition! GREAT this is the third pair of vans i have purchased. they are brilliant. hard wearing comfy and made to last. if you ever want a pair of trainers that do everyth.
best deal on laptops for top brands and have not to be honest seen this quality .
I love these shoes. Previously I wore a well worn down shoe on carpet courts but will definitely buy these in future. I always find K swiss tennis shoes fit well.
Great service, ordered one day delivered the next. Fit as expected. Would normally wear a five and a half but definitely needed the six and a half.
I bought these for my great neice. so I am not sure how they will fit?I like them good quality and a very quick delivery as always.
An we go out and have loose change to sort out. Also it's perfect to carry all your bits and pieces in.
I use this to collect my football teams subscription it's ideal, the product is well made. Just what I was looking for.
Genuine leather drawstring bag.Looks as if it will last for a long time.Very good value for money.I would recommend it.
It's a draw bag with a pouch for a phone. Ideal for holding masses of loose change and notes when on the go
its ok but a bit small for a phone pouch..if you have a phone from 10 yrs ago ya fine but i only have a iphone 5 and its no where near ok its ok for money and ciggys so leave the phone at home lol least then on a night out ya cant be disturbed lol
After reading the description upon receipt i was very disappointed. Basically it was unusable for my pupose, which was as a pocket coin bag. The idea of using it as a mobile phone holder is supra shoes d comfy, I live in my flip flops in the summer and do a lot of walking, normally a new pair would cause rubbing and cuts but nothing from these.Definitely recommend them and buy them again.
Wore them on a walk around the city of Palma in over 30 degrees of heat and came back form the day with no blisters unlike any other flipflops I have worn.
The lightest and most comfortable pair of flip flops I've worn in ages! Toe post super soft and fits gently between toes.
I am usually a size 5 to 5.5 and due to a reveiw I ordered a size 6 and they fit perfectly. I am grateful to the person who took the time write the reveiw. They are extremely comfortable and pleasure to wear.
The product itself is very good. After reading the product reviews I ordered a UK size 6, which fit perfectly, although the size conversion tables showed my European size 38 to correspond to a UK size 5.
After suff Hollister online mudOverall very pleased with the shoes and would buy again.
These shoes fit, are comfortable and are as described. The colours are rather subdued but where's the problem in that? The only 'downside' I can find is that they, for me, are not a good shoe to drive in.
I bought a pair of size 12s. They feel good and solid, fairly light, a good grip. I bought at £22 and feel they are good value. I don't know how waterproof they are yet. No regrets.
A little on the large side for a 9, but if I get some inners I'll survive :-)
Size ten would have been better with Ten and a half , not small just neat, differance of thick and thin sock.
best flight prices but it's not too chunky or heavy when you have them on.
Good quality, looking nice, very comfortable, +++
Perfect fit and so comfy. Would buy more in different colour as there really good.
Standard uk size 11. Nice and comfortable. Good honest shoe.
Been looking for these for my collectionlove them
Really comfy to wear, true to size, I love them!!
I have problems with my feet due to having very low arches and it's always hard to find comfortable shoes for walking never mind running. I did research and found Ask thirteen hour shifts, walking and standing most of that time. I put on my new shoes and they were brilliant, no sores or blisters sooooo comfortable the fit is excellent. I will order more, I will recommend and thank you k. Chapman
Very nice shoe but had to order the next size down from my normal size as it was way to big for me so hopefully this will fit better.
A lovely Satin clutch bag but unfortunately had to return it as the colour was not as describedand didn't match my outfit
I purchased the bag for a function I was attending. It arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. It had two different length straps, although I used it as a clutch bag, and even came with a dust bag. I was very impressed with the quality for the price I had paid and would consider buying it in different colours to go with other outfits.
Perfect colour match ,lovely vintage framework an absolute winner
Fast delivery and a stunning bag for the price. Good quality, beautiful scarlet red with gorgeous detailing along the silver clasp. I love it, perfect for a phone, l www.jameaalkauthar.co.uk ing used to, but I'm sure this will ease with wear.
Daughter wanted a pair of these kickers but locally every shop had run out of this style, there's a vast range of sellers & prices on the net, but we found that these are probably the cheapest around & as your buying from amazon we felt we would be getting the real thing rather than a pair of cheap snide copies, that said they are still over priced but if you want a happy child it's a better alternative than the whinging & moaning that you can expect, oh & be careful as the sizes come up BIG, we tried a pair on in a shop to ensure we ordered the correct size.
Brought these for my daughter for her 5th birthday party she loves them as did all her friends fitted perfect
These were a little big but will soon fit my little girl loves them = happy princess happy me
These shoes are fabulous, my daughter absolutely loves them. I will be buying more in future
My daughter wore the ears for the school play. They did the job.
My 6 year old loved these shoes. A little too big for her (size 12), but she do Hollister sale nd pair of Fit Flop shoes. They have corrected my posture and are so comfortable. I walk for miles in them. The leather and suede are more supportive than the canvas. There is a huge difference between these and another well known brand that I own which made me realise how much better my posture is through wearing fitflop shoes and Sandels.
I ordered these because I needed something with the Fitflop comfort and style to sort the transition from winter boots to summer fitflops. They are totally brilliant. I'd ordered with a degree of trepidation having read the reviews about the sneakers being too narrow and hard to 'break in'. My feet are on the wider side so I thought I might have an issue but the fit is perfect. Did a really good walk in them yesterday with no problems at all- they have that Fitflop bounciness that makes you feel like a strong walker even if you're not! Obviously being suede I'll need to be a little careful wit.

EEA nationals - claiming benefits as a former worker
If you're an EEA national who has come to the UK from abroad and you want to claim certain means-tested benefits, you must normally satisfy the conditions of a test, known as the habitual residence test (HRT). To satisfy these conditions, you must show:
- you have a legal right to live in the UK. This is called the right to reside, and
- you intend to settle in the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or Ireland and make it your home for the time being. This is known as habitual residence.
This page explains what your rights are if you're an EEA national who is a worker or former worker who is not currently working.
European Economic Area (EEA) countries include all those in the EU plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. To check which countries are members of the European Union, see the Europa website www.europa.eu.
Getting advice
Showing your right to reside and intention to settle in the UK can be difficult. If you're unsure about anything, seek the help of an adviser.If you need more help
You are a former worker
If you're an EEA national you may have a right to reside as a former worker or self-employed person if you have previously worked in the UK and you:
- are temporarily unable to work
- are starting vocational training
- are retired
- stopped work due to long-term ill-health or disability.
If you've a right to reside as a former worker or self-employed person, you may not have to show that you satisfy the rest of the HRT and may be able to claim means-tested benefits.
From 1 March 2014, you may not be accepted as being a former worker or self-employed person if your gross earnings or your profits in the preceding three months of work or self-employment were less than a 'Minimun Earnings Threshold'.

- Important information for Bulgarian or Romanian nationals
- If you recently lost your job and are looking for work, see EEA nationals – jobseekers
Temporarily unable to work
If you've been working for an employer or as a self-employed person and are temporarily unable to work due to your illness or to an accident that you've had, you should still have the right to reside as a worker. There is no legal definition of temporary, but there must be a realistic possibility that you will be able to work again in the forseeable future.
If you're on unpaid sick leave from your job but can return when you're well you're still a worker and should still have the right to reside as a worker. If you're on maternity leave you're still a worker even if you're not being paid while you're on maternity leave. If you're self-employed but have stopped work for a period of maternity leave you can still be a worker if you intend to go back to self-employment after your maternity break.
If you've left work because of the physical effects of the later stages of pregnancy or the aftermath of childbirth you may still be counted as a worker provided that you return to work or find another job within a reasonable period of the birth. During the period when you are not working you may be able to claim means-tested benefits such as income support.
Started vocational training
If you've stopped working for an employer to start work-related training you may have the right to reside as a former worker. If you gave up your job voluntarily the training must usually be related to your most recent job. If you're 'involuntarily unemployed', for example, you were made redundant, your training need not relate to your last job.
If you've retired early from employment or reached state pension age and meet the following conditions you will have a permanent right to reside in the UK and will not have to satisfy the other conditions of the HRT. You must have:
- worked or been self-employed in the UK for at least 12 months before retiring and lived in the UK continuously for at least three years, or
- worked or been self-employed in the UK before retiring and have a spouse or civil partner who is a UK national.
Stopped work because of ill health or disability
You may have stopped work or self-employment because you've a long-term health problem or disability. This is called incapacity. If you meet the following conditions you will have a permanent right to reside and you don't have to satisfy the other conditions of the HRT. You must have lived in the UK for more than two years unless:
- you're permanently unable to work because of a work-related accident or disease and get a pension payable by a UK institution, or
- your spouse is a UK national.

In the junking of air conditioners such as are used in vehicles, it has been standard practice to allow the refrigerant to escape. Also, in preparation for carrying out repairs on an air conditioner it has frequently been the practice to vent the refrigerant therefrom. Such a practice is uneconomical. Moreover, it is now recognized that the introduction of refrigerant into the atmosphere can have serious consequences with respect to destruction of ozone in the atmosphere, ozone providing a shield against penetration of the atmosphere by ultraviolet rays which are known to be carcinogenic.
As aforenoted, refrigerant may be vented in preparation for discard or repair of air conditioners. When the air conditioner of a vehicle is to be repaired, the repair is carried out by an operator who is, at best, only semi-skilled in the processing of gases. Accordingly, if such an individual is to cope with a procedure for recovering the refrigerant from a vehicle, apparatus must be provided which requires only minimal supervision by an operator. The same consideration applies to recovery of refrigerant from other types of air conditioners whether about to be repaired or discarded. A further operation which such apparatus should carry out is the recharging of a repaired air conditioner, whether the air conditioner is or is not part of a vehicle such as an automobile or a truck. Accordingly, there is considerable need for such equipment.
Automatic apparatus for recovery and purification of refrigerant in accordance with the present invention includes a motor pump for drawing refrigerant from an air conditioner and transferring the refrigerant to a tank. The refrigerant is drawn through a filter which removes particulate matter down to sub-micron size and coalesces oil droplets. These oil droplets contain any acid present. The coalesced oil can be removed periodically by removal of the filter bowl or through a clean-out plug. The motor pump draws the refrigerant through an evaporator coil so that the refrigerant is in the vapor state as it reaches the compressor portion of the motor pump. The compressed refrigerant is introduced into a condenser after which it traverses a filter which dries the refrigerant down to a content of about 10 ppm. Any residual acid, oil or particulate matter is also removed by this filter. A moisture detector determines the water content of the effluent from this filter. A check-valve is preferably disposed in the line to insure that refrigerant cannot return from the storage tank toward the pump.
A solenoid valve is disposed between the first filter and the evaporator and between the condenser and the second filter. A pressure switch measures the pressure on the entrance side of the evaporator and when this pressure drops to a value such as to correspond with substantially complete removal of refrigerant from the air conditioner, the pressure switch closes the aforementioned solenoid valves between the first filter and the evaporator and between the condenser and the second filter.
A second pressure switch measures the pressure on the outlet side of the condenser. Should this pressure rise to a value such as to indicate that there is non-condensible gas present or a blockage in the line, the aforementioned solenoid valves between the condenser and the second filter and between the first filter and the evaporator are automatically shut by the second pressure switch. Preferably, the first pressure switch is set to operate when the pressure on the inlet side of the condenser drops to about 20 inches of mercury below atmospheric. Also, it is preferred that the second pressure switch close its corresponding solenoid valve when the pressure at said second pressure switch reaches about 200 psig. The motor pump operates continuously when power is applied to the apparatus. Closing the solenoid valves effectively stops the transfer process. The motor load would be excessive for the switches if run intermittently. Complications from the presence of oil in the motor sump are minimized when the motor is kept warm through continuous operation.
In a preferred construction, a microprocessor is provided which is programmable for initiation of a refrigerant-recovery operation on command and for shut-down of said apparatus and producing an alarm signal when the time for the pressure on the inlet side of the evaporator coil to drop to a preselected value exceeds a preselected period of time, when either of said pressure switches is closed, when the moisture detector indicates the presence of excess moisture in the refrigerant, when the quantity of refrigerant in the storage tank reaches a preselected value or when the pressure in the refrigerant tank reaches a preselected value.
The apparatus can also be constructed for recharging one or more air conditioners using reclaimed refrigerant and/or fresh refrigerant. The apparatus then includes one or more vacuum pumps for pumping down the air conditioner to be recharged, the corresponding pressure sensors to determine when the pressure in the air conditioner is low enough for the start of recharge with fresh refrigerant, a metering pump for transfer of refrigerant from the storage tank or tanks to the selected vehicle and, preferably, an additional metering pump for adding lubricating oil to the recharge refrigerant at a controlled ratio.
The microprocessor is preferably programmable to take care of the additional functions of initiating operation of the vacuum pump for evacuating the air conditioner, isolating the vacuum pump from the air conditioner when the pressure has dropped to a preselected value, initiating flow of refrigerant at a selected rate to the air conditioner, regulation of addition of lubricating oil to the refrigerant at a preselected ratio, and stopping flow of refrigerant and oil to the air conditioner when the quantity transferred reaches a preselected value. The apparatus has a manifold and sufficient branched lines and solenoid valves controllable by the microprocessor so that the operation of recovery of refrigerant from one air conditioner and the operation of recharging a second air conditioner may be carried out simultaneously and automatically under the control of microprocessor.
Preferably, one or more of the vent lines from the storage tanks and the vacuum pumps may be chilled to recover refrigerant in the air flowing out therefrom.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus for recovery and purification of refrigerant.
Another object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus including a microprocessor for recovery and purification of refrigerant.
A further object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus for recovery and purification of refrigerant from air conditioners and for charging air conditioners with refrigerant with minimal loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere.
An important object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus for recovery and purification of refrigerant and recharging of air conditioners with refrigerant under the control of a microprocessor.
A significant object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus for the recovery and purification of refrigerant and for recharge of air conditioners with refrigerant where the recovery and purification of refrigerant from one air conditioner may be carried out simultaneously with recharge of another air conditioner with refrigerant.
Yet another important object of the present invention is an automatic apparatus for recovery and purification of refrigerant and for recharge of an air conditioner with refrigerant in which a microprocessor is programmable to initiate operation on command and for carrying out all the essential steps including shut-down at the conclusion of operation without intervention by an operator.
Still other objects and advantages of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part be apparent from the specification.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the invention, reference is had to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows schematically the relative positions of an evaporator coil, a condenser coil, the motor of a motor pump and a fan; and
FIG. 3 is a representation of a keyboard and display of the automatic apparatus of the present invention.
The present invention will be discussed in terms of vehicular air conditioners since it is envisioned that the principal use for the apparatus will be in connection with such air-conditioner systems and that the apparatus will be operated by the personnel of automobile service stations. However, the apparatus of the present invention can be adapted to service refrigeration systems of any size such as those used in railroad passenger cars, railroad box cars, warehouses and ships, the apparatus being compact enough so that it is mobile.
Turning now to FIG. 1, a conduit 11 has a flexible end 71 which can be connected with an air conditioner for exhausting the refrigerant therefrom. As the pressure is dropped in conduit 11, refrigerant is drawn through solenoid valve 60 and said conduit to reach filter 12 which has a packing therein fine enough to remove particulate matter down to sub-micron size. In addition, filter 12 serves to coalesce oil droplets in the refrigerant; the oil droplets form a pool of oil at the bottom of said filter from which the oil can be withdrawn periodically through clean-out plug 13 or by removing the bowl. Any acid in the refrigerant tends to migrate into the oil so that removal of the oil droplets also results in removal of the acid from the refrigerant.
Pump 14 driven by pump motor 16 drops the pressure in conduit 11, filter 12 and conduit 17 progressively until substantially complete removal of refrigerant from the air conditioner in vehicle 1 has been effected. The pressure in conduit 17 is measured by pressure switch 18 and when the pressure therein has dropped to the aforenoted level, solenoid value 19 is shut as is solenoid valve 26 on the outlet side of pump 14.
Refrigerant is drawn through the evaporator 21 so that it is in the vapor state when it reaches pump 14. The refrigerant is then compressed by pump 14 to traverse condenser 22 in which the refrigerant, returns to the liquid phase under the combined influence of heat transfer to evaporator coil 21 and the compressor stage (not shown) of pump 14. Evaporator 21 and condenser 22 comprise a heat exchanger given the reference numeral 23.
Refrigerant leaving condenser 22 flows through conduit 24 in which is located solenoid valve 26 and pressure switch 27. Should the pressure in conduit 24 rise above a preselected value, preferably about 200 psig, said pressure switch is connected with solenoid valves 19 and 26 to shut same.
Refrigerant from conduit 24 flows to second filter 28, the primary function of which is to dry the refrigerant. It also functions to remove any residual oil or acid from the refrigerant. For the drying function said second filter may be charged with one or more suitable desiccants well-known to those skilled in the art. A satisfactory desiccant charge includes a high-capacity desiccant such as silica gel and a high intensity desiccant such as activated aluminum oxide, barium oxide or phosphorous pentoxide. Such a desiccant can remove substantial quantities of moisture from the refrigerant and assure that the moisture content of the refrigerant leaving the filter will be at a satisfactorily low level, a preferred maximum for this level being about 10 ppm. Filter 28 may be refillable or it may be replaceable.
To insure that the refrigerant leaving second filter 28 is indeed as dry as desired, moisture detector 29 is provided in conduit 31 to measure the moisture content of the refrigerant flowing therethrough. A number of sensitive moisture detectors are known to those skilled in the art. Conveniently, the moisture detector should provide an electrical signal, either directly or indirectly, which can be used to generate an alarm signal so that the operator will be aware that second filter 28 is no longer functioning satisfactorily, generally because the desiccant charge has been exhausted and needs replacement. A particularly satisfactory form of moisture detector is one in which a moisture-absorptive material is disposed between two electrodes, the presence of moisture in the refrigerant stream causing a decrease in the electrical resistivity of the assembly which can be detected by a suitable resistance meter. Another satisfactory type of moisture detector is one which relies on a color change which can be detected by a suitable transducer which converts the optical change to an electrical signal which can then be used to generate an alarm signal. The signal from moisture detector 29 can be used to shut down the apparatus as will be described below. Refrigerant leaving the moisture detector 29 traverses conduit 31 to tank 32. In the event of failure of the desiccant in filter 28, some moist refrigerant could enter conduit 31 and thus tank 32 before the apparatus is shut down. To prevent contamination of the contents of tank 32, third filter 33 may be positioned downstream from mositure detector 29 to remove any residual moisture. Third filter 33 should be charged with a high intensity desiccant, a high capacity desiccant not being needed since the moisture detector 29 will shut down the apparatus before any substantial quantity of moisture can penetrate second filter 28. Although second and third filters 28 and 33 and moisture detector 29 are shown as separate elements in the apparatus, they can all be contained in one cartridge where moisture detector 29 is in the form of a probe disposed proximate but not at the downstream end of filter 28 in which case the penetration of moisture up to the position of the probe can be detected, a portion of the high intensity desiccant still remaining in the filter downstream from the position of the probe to prevent pentration of the filter charge by moisture. Check value 50 prevents flow of refrigerant in the reverse direction which might occur, especially during shutdowns.
As tank 32 fills with refrigerant any non-condensible gas, air for example, in the upper portion of the tank is compressed and the pressure in the tank rises. Pressure switch 34 measures the pressure within tank 32 and opens solenoid value 36 at a preselected pressure value. Preferably, a refrigerated condenser 37 is provided for condensing out refrigerant vapor from the vented, non-condensible gas and recovering the condensate. Tank 32 may also be provided with temperature sensor 38 and quantity sensor 39 for determining the quantity of refrigerant in tank 32. Quantity sensor 39 may take the form of a sight glass or a pressure or weight sensor which cooperates with pressure sensor 34 to indicate the quantity of liquid in said tank.
As aforenoted, the essential operations of reclaiming and purifying refrigerant and transferring said refrigerant to storage tank 32 can be carried out automatically by the arrangements already described, such arrangements including closing the solenoid valves when the pressure in conduit 17 drops to a selected value, when the pressure in conduit 24 rises above a selected value and when the moisture level in the refrigerant in conduit 31 rises above a selected value. However, these functions are best carried out by a microprocessor 41 programmable by a keyboard 42. Connections from the various pressure switches, temperature sensors, etc. to the microprocessor are indicated by the dash and single dot lines given the reference numeral 43 in FIG. 1. The various solenoids, and thereby pump 14, are then controlled by microprocessor 41 through control lines shown in FIG. 1 as formed by an alternating dash and a pair of dots and given the reference numeral 44. For convenience, these control lines have been omitted from most of the solenoid valves.
As stated above, the apparatus may also be constructed for charging an air conditioning system with refrigerant. Reclaimed refrigerant is drawn from storage tank 32 through solenoid valve 46 or from supplementary tank 47 of fresh refrigerant through solenoid valve 48 by a second motor pump 49. The rate at which said refrigerant is drawn from the tank depends upon whether the refrigerant is to be fed to the low side or to the high side of the air-conditioner system which is to be charged. From the operator's points of view, high-side versus low-side is primarily a matter of preference or adherence to training and experience. High-side, liquid charging is often used for an empty system because it is fast. Low-side, gas charging is often used to replenish a partially charged system. For charging to the low side the refrigerant is drawn slowly enough so that at least the major part thereof is vaporized and any residual liquid refrigerant is in the form of a spray of droplets fine enough in size so that the compressor in the air-conditioning system being charged will not be injured. Where the air-conditioning system is to be fed on the high side thereof, the rate of flow of refrigerant may be much higher. To insure that the refrigerant is in the proper state, a sight glass 51 is provided in conduit 52 leading from the storage tanks to motor pump 49. As long as there is refrigerant in the supply tank it will be withdrawn in a liquid state. Sight glass 51, a preferred embodiment, will thusly indicate when the supply is empty. An optical detector (not shown) attached thereto could terminate charging should the supply run out or could switch supplies, by means of valves 46 and 48, from reclaimed to fresh refrigerant. In general, it is necessary to supply lubricating oil to the air-conditioning system and this is fed by metering pump and tank 53 through solenoid valve 54 at a selected rate consistent with the rate of flow of refrigerant through conduit 52. Alternatively, oiling may be performed in sequence by drawing oil from supply 53 with pump 49 followed by refrigerant. This could be effected with only one pump whose inlet was selected by valves 48, 46 and 54.
In preparation for charging the air conditioner of a vehicle with refrigerant, it is necessary to evacuate the air-conditioner system first. For this purpose, a vacuum pump 56 is provided, said vacuum pump being connectable to the air-conditioner system of vehicle 1 through solenoid valve 57, selectively either to the low side or the high side or both of said system. Pressure detectors 55 and 58 are provided so that the pressure in the system can be determined. Connection is made, either directly or indirectly between the pressure detectors and solenoid valve 57 so that when the pressure in the system drops to a suitable level corresponding to essentially complete removal of air and moisture from the air-conditioning system, solenoid valve 57 is closed. in addition, the selected solenoid valve from the pair of solenoid valves 61 and 62 and solenoid valve 63 are opened and pump 49 is started so that flow may take place from the refrigerant tank or tanks to the low or high pressure side of the vehicle 1 air-conditioning system. As is obvious, either or both of valves 46 and 48 are also opened simultaneously as is valve 54, and metering pump 53 is started. These connections may be made directly or, preferably, through microprocessor 41.
As will be evident from FIG. 1, while the charging of vehicle 1 is being effected, the recovery and purification portion of the apparatus can be connected with vehicle 2 for recovery and purification of refrigerant therefrom. Thus, the refrigerant from vehicle 2 may be taken in sequence through solenoid valve 64 and 66 and thence through conduit 11 to filter 12 and so forth. Pressure detectors 67 and 68 are provided for control of appropriate solenoids, preferably through microprocessor 41. A second vacuum pump 69 is provided for evacuation of the air-conditioning system in vehicle 2 through solenoid valve 71 and either solenoid valve 64 or 72.
The air-conditioning systems in certain types of vehicles are so constructed that there is a third region (not shown) at which the pressure must be detected. Pressure sensor 73 is connectable through its hose to the air conditioner of either of the vehicles for this purpose, and connects with the microprocessor for displaying the pressure read at this point and for shutting down the apparatus should this be necessary Also, in order to test out the air conditioner of a vehicle after charging, it is necessary to determine the temperature at the output of the air conditioner and temperature sensor 76 is connectable to either of the vehicles for this purpose and is connected with the microprocessor for showing the temperature at the relevant region and shutting down the apparatus should this be called for. The high and low side system pressures, measured by sensors 55 and 58 on vehicle 1 and sensors 67 and 68 on vehicle 2, may be displayed continuously on the apparatus control panel in a manner similar to the manifold gauges familiar to those accustomed to the art of A/C system repair.
Where the microprocessor 41 is programmable for charging air conditioners as well as for recovering the refrigerant therefrom, it is programmable for carrying out the above-listed functions and, in addition, for initiating operation of the appropriate vacuum pump, isolating the vacuum pump when the pressure in the air-conditioning system to be charged drops to a preselected value, for initiating flow of refrigerant at the appropriate rate to the selected air-conditioning system, for regulating the addition of lubricating oil to the refrigerant in a preselected ratio, for stopping the flow of refrigerant to the air-conditioning system when the quantity transferred reaches a preselected value and for checking out the air conditioning system at the completion of charging same.
Monitoring of vehicles during the various operations is facilitated by a display such as is shown in FIG. 3 which shows the step or function in process and the status of the process for each of the vehicles. Thus, the display indicated generally by the reference numeral 77 may have signal lights 78 which show the function in process and the status of the process. Keyboard 42 is also shown in more detail, said keyboard being constructed for initiating the various operations with respect to the different vehicles and for making it possible to display such variables as temperatures and pressure. For example, pressing the buttons labelled with a vehicle and the numeral 1 and bearing the legends "evacuate", "charge liquid", "fresh refrigerant" and "inject oil" would start the sequence in which vacuum pump 56 pumps down vehicle 1, and metering pump 49 is started up when the pressure in the air-conditioning system in vehicle 1 reaches the desired low value, solenoid valves 48 and 63 are opened. Microprocessor 41 provides for carrying out the various steps in the correct sequence. Pressing either of the buttons labelled "HI" and "LO" makes the decision as to whether the filling is to be through solenoid valve 61 or solenoid valve 62. Once the process is started for vehicle 1, appropriate instructions can be given through keyboard 42 for recovery of refrigerant from vehicle 2. As will be noted, a separate display panel is provided for each of the vehicles. Additional functions can be provided as will be evident to those skilled in the art, such functions including a check-out of the operation of the various signal-generating devices and valves. The apparatus of the present invention has been designed to minimize the loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere and, in addition, to minimize energy requirement. It has already been disclosed that the non-condensible gas vented from tank 32 may be passed through a refrigeration unit 37 in order to recover as much as possible of the refrigerant carried by the vented gas. Similarly, the air vented from vacuum pumps 56 and 69 could also be passed through a refrigerated condensor. As to conservation of energy, heat exchanger 23 uses the heat generated in the compression of the refrigerant vapor to vaporize refrigerant drawn through coil 21. Viewed from the standpoint of chilling the refrigerant leaving pump 14, the cooling capacity of coil 21 may be inadequate to liquify the refrigerant in compartment 22 of heat exchanger 23. Where such is the case, the embodiment of FIG. 2 is effective. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, an air transfer means 78, shown as a fan, blows air against evaporator coil 79 to chill the air and then across condenser coil 81. The airstream continues across pump motor 16 to cool said pump motor. It will be noted that the airstream could be blown across pump motor 16 first in order to warm the air and then across evaporation coil 79 to aid in the vaporization of the refrigerant and finally across condenser coil 81 to aid in the liquification of the refrigerant therein. However, the embodiment of FIG. 2 has been found preferable.
As aforenoted, a clean-out plug or removable bowl is provided in filter 12 for draining of oil therefrom. In addition, the filter charge can also be replaced should it become saturated. Similarly, second filter 28 is also constructed so that the charge therein can be replaced. Alternatively, filter 28 may be replaceable or provided with a heating coil for driving the water out of the absorbent. When it is desired to replace filter 28 the charge therein or regenerate the charge, valve 82 may be opened to connect the interior of filter 28 with vacuum pump 56 through conduit 83. Valve 82 may be either a solenoid valve operable through the microprocessor or a manually-operated valve.
The apparatus of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 can be readily mounted on or in a housing which is turn may be mounted on wheels for mobility. Because condensation of the refrigerant occurs at essentially ambiant temperature, the apparatus can be produced at relatively low cost, be mounted in a relatively small size housing and be mounted in a manner which permits relatively easy displacement. Such chilling as is disclosed herein is a product of use of the evaporator of the apparatus and is at a temperature which is essentially ambiant, as compared to the low temperature produced by an independent refrigeration unit.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Central Director/Pastor of Small Groups
Parkview Christian Church
Orland Park, Illinois, United States
Since moving from a team that paired strangers together in groups (and hoping they would stick) to a team that (1) creates environments where strangers form friendships that lead to discipleship in living rooms and (2) empowers anyone to pick up curriculum and do a group with their family and friends, Parkview has experienced significant growth in our Small Groups ministry.
Today, Parkview is a church that views small groups as one of the most significant parts of our ministry. We now have more than 2,000 small groups meeting throughout our community. Just this year, 500 brand new hosts opened their homes as part of our Spring launch.
We are currently searching for a Central Director/Pastor of Small Groups to lead this thriving ministry into its next season of growth and development.
Our Small Groups strategy relies on medium-sized environments (parties, on-campus Bible Studies, spiritual formation classes, volunteer teams) to establish relationships. Then, when people choose to form small groups, they are equipped and encouraged to grow into people who look more like Jesus.
We have seen God move in incredible ways. Our biggest wins have been people forming small groups with their unchurched neighbors. We consider our small groups successful when families begin talking about faith for the first time or when life-long friendships begin to form. One of the most unique aspects of Parkview's Small Groups ministry is its passion for making Jesus and community accessible to anyone, no matter where they are on their journey.
Parkview Christian Church is an exciting, growing, multi-site church with campuses in Orland Park, Homer Glen, and (opening Christmas of 2016) New Lenox, IL. There's no doubt that God is doing something extraordinary in our midst. More than just numeric growth, however, we're seeing lives radically transformed. Parkview is a place where anyone - regardless of their story - can take their next step toward Jesus.
Interested candidates should submit a resume, recent photo, and any other helpful or pertinent materials to robin.toland [at] parkviewchurch [dot] com.
Please DO NOT use the "Apply Now" button at the bottom of this page. We will not follow up with candidates who do.
Parkview Christian Church is committed to creating a diverse environment and welcomes all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, or economic status.

Mr Christian Adovelande, President of the West African Development Bank (Banque Ouest Africaine de Developpement, BOAD) held a press conference at the BOAD headquarters in Lomé, which was attended by approximately thirty journalists representing both public and private media of WAEMU states (West African Economic and Monetary Union) as well as the international media. Discussions focused on BOAD ambitions for the coming years, as expressed in its Strategic Plan for 2015–2019. These were addressed in relation to two recent events: obtaining an international quality rating and BOAD accreditation as a regional implementation agent of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
In regards to their ratings, on 15 May and 11 June respectively, the international agencies Moody's and Fitch had each classified BOAD within the rating category called 'investment'. In particular, the positive assessment given by both agencies was due to BOAD's financial performance, with the support which the institution enjoys from all its shareholders, as well as to the quality and stability of its governance.

Mikumi forms the northern border of the Selous Game Reserve, and is one of the most accessible of the Tanzanian national parks.Mikumi covering an area of 3230 sq km, Mikumi National Park lies in a horseshoe of towering mountains and forested foothills, which almost enclose the flood plain of the Mkata River.To the east rise the 2743 metres massif of the Uluguru ranges while to the Southwest are the craggy peaks of the Vidinda hills.Mikumi is rich in wildlife and contains buffalo, elephant and lion. Also found are wildebeest, zebra, impala, warthog, hippo, and giraffe. Most of the animals can be seen at all seasons. Elephants can be seen throughout the area and buffaloes totaling some 3,000 are to be found on the treeless grassland.
Vegetation: The Mkate River Floor Plain with its hard ridges, swamps and black clay grassland, the miombo woodlands lie on hills of east and west, and the rivers with their fringe of tall trees and dense thickets. The TAZARA (Tanzania-Zambia) railway line marks the boundary of Mikumi with Selous to the south.
Climate: Mikumi has a bi-modial rain season characterised by short rains in October to early November, followed by long rains lasting for the six month although the rainfall pattern is very unpredictable.However there is always a definite dry period in january.The wet months are associated with a hot humid weather, where temperatures reach up to 30 degrees centigrade, annual average temperature is 25.5 degreees centigrade.
Vuma Hill Tented Camp Overlooking the Mkata plains and mountains in the distance, Vuma Hill offers accommodation"under the stars" allowing you to get as close to nature as you can.Whether you want to enjoy star gazing from the 360 degree viewpoint, cool off in the pool, or quietly relax in your custom made tent inbetween safari game drives, Vuma offers the luxury and privacy to suite all. All tents are self-contained with attached bathroom facilities, hot and cold water and electricity.
Kikoboga Camp This lodge is situated near the main entrance of Mikumi National Park, and has stone-built African cottages and bandas, spacious bedrooms, bathroom with shower and large verandas with wonderful views overlooking the plains and nearby waterholes. There is a small pool and sundeck area, raised look out tower, thatched bar built around a Marula tree and a dining area overlooking a floodlit waterhole. At Kikoboga you can watch a procession of animals visiting the waterholes either from the comfort of your own verandah, having a cool drink at the bar or whilst dining.

Discussion in 'Books, Music, TV & Movies' started by ` regret ., Dec 19, 2009.
Do you like hardstyle?
not sure i understand hardstyle...
is it supposed to be like... hardcore, and party techno mixed together or something?
I don't know what you call the kind of techno I like......it's the kind that rocks, and doesn't sound sissy, if that makes any sense.
Best examples I can think of to explain my preference:
This tune absolutely kicks my ass. I love it and it's my all-time favorite tune of this type of music! I always figured it sort of a good theme song for GBAtemp.
Another ass kicker
And this one is good too. Though it's not exactly the version I have, it's pretty close
More goodness
Whatever you call that kind of techno, I like it. It suits my dark nature. I'm extremely particular when it comes to this kind of music and I'm having a very hard time finding more like the above tunes to get me moving. None of my friends care about this kind of music, which makes it harder for me to find more.
I'd love some suggestions for more kickass tunes like those.
yes, just the best music in the world
i've got the same problem as Rayder, only my cousin and another friend like this music, everyone else loves rock...which i just don't like at all.
This is a pretty old one, but still fantastic in my opinion:
hardstyle lover here Listening since 2007 Like to mix @ a friend too sometimes
Not very popular where i live Most listen to ''Piratenmuziek'' -_- (dutch music) or just top 40.
One of my favorite tracks is probably D-block and s-te-fan-Ride with uz. know it already for a few years but keep listening to it
hardstyle!!!! and yes its true .... the dutch are the masters of a harder style.... love the donkey rollers etc and
luna dana pavo and all them !
Sounds like someone talking over house music...
I can't stand this music. I feel it's boring, repetitive, and uninspired. I do listen mostly to electronic music though. Just not really this stuff.
soo, kinda bumping an old thread but does anybody want to listen to a mix from me and a friend?

Staff Sergeant John Wayne Joss ready to compete and win at Paralympic Games
The year was 2007 and Staff Sergeant John Wayne Joss was serving in combat, but one vehicle ride changed everything.
"It was a complicated ambush and I was wounded, medevac, stabilized and then rehabilitated in the States," he said.
As a result of his injuries, Joss lost a portion of his leg. That was nearly ten years ago and since then, Joss hasn't skipped a beat. He kept serving and later joined the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit.
"You'd be amazed at what you can do if you have to," Joss said. "I knew that hey this injury, I'm not gonna be that guy woe is me, let me get back on top, let me do everything I wanted to do that I did before now with this injury and it hasn't really slowed me down."
So much in fact that he's no longer just a member of the USAMU, he's a Paralympian who will represent Team USA in the 2016 Paralympic Games.
"I don't know what percentage it is for anybody to go to the Paralympic Games or the Olympic games but it's so miniscule, you wouldn't be able to really notice it it's so small," he said. "It's a big choice for me and a big chance for me and I'm happy going there."
Joss is no stranger to winning medals. He earned top honors at the USA shooting national championships back in 2013 and 2014. Next up is his debut at the Paralympics and while the stage will be different, the goal is the same.
"A lot of people will say hey I made the team, I'm done now I can have a good time but that's now how I am," said Joss. "I'm going there to win and that's my goal."
Joss' goal of winning a medal begins on September 10th when he competes in his first of two events.
