text: Caseous lymphadenitis was experimentally induced in goats by inoculating 1 x 10(6) Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis by 3 routes: subcutaneous, intradermal, and submucosal. The incubation period for the development of abscesses in the present study ranged from 41 to 147 days, the average being 95.2 days. The shedding period for C pseudotuberculosis from opened abscesses ranged from 9 to 37 days, with an average of 20.3 days. The infection spread to mediastinal lymph nodes in 1 goat and to lumbar lymph nodes in 5 goats. None of the goats had abscesses in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis was recovered from all the abscessed lymph nodes but not from the feces or nasal secretions.

Dipterocarpus alatus--iconic giant street tree of Ho Chi Minh City
I visited Ho Chi Minh City recently and was amazed to see giant trees of Dipterocarpus alalus growing as street trees in the older parts of the city. I estimate their age to be 80 to 100 years, which means they would have been planted during French colonial rule. Dipterocarpus alatus belongs to Dipterocarpaceae, which is the dominant timber-tree family of SE Asia. Dipterocarpus alatus itself is native to Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines.
In Malaysia and Singapore two other members of the family have been planted as street trees in the past 10 - 20 years. These are Hopea odorata (also commonly planted in Vietnam) and Shorea roxburghii. Both are doing well as street trees and will eventually become giants.

Introduction to Shibori technique for the Fashion & Textile Design option on the Art Foundation
Discovering new artistic techniques
On Wednesday, 15th May, art foundation students taking the Fashion & Textile Design option had the opportunity to discover the Japanese artistic technique of Shibori. As part of an Indigo workshop, they were introduced to this particular practice of resist dyeing, through the binding of fabric—a technique also known as "tie-dye".
To do this, the young artists at Atelier de Sèvres used pieces of natural-fibre fabrics such as linen, hemp, jute or silk, in light colours or equally with patterns or stripes.
The results of this workshop will be exhibited during the open days on 18th-19th May, 2019.
Which specialised subject to choose for the art foundation?
The art foundation course consists of a core curriculum for all students, built around the fundamental artistic disciplines. This is supplemented by a specialised subject that students choose at the beginning of the year:
- Textile/fashion design
- Graphic design/Illustration
- Architecture/set design/space
This additional specialism allows students to further a technique and to be aware of all of its specificities.

Age of Legends
he Emberdreth are the tallest living creatures in all of Eriond. These deciduous conifers grow to heights in excess of 355ft. The base of these great trees is fluted and may grow up to 35ft in diameter. The Emberdreth possesses a narrowly conical shape, and its dark green needles contrast greatly with its brilliant copper-brown bark. The bark is soft and spongy and resistant to fire. Emberdreth grows in small groves in Landolith and Tindor Forests, and is plentiful within The Andreth Forest.
The Emberdreth is commonly known as Duskwood due to its beautiful copper brown bark which brilliantly radiates the soft light of the setting sun in its final hour. Because of its remote location, logging of this tree is extremely rare.


227 - 1/02 - Heavy Weather Alongside - El Dekheila
One of our Member's bulk carriers twice recently visited the port of El Dekheila, near Alexandria, Egypt. On both occasions, the vessel experienced heavy swell whilst alongside, resulting in the vessel surging along the quay. On the second occasion, she parted a total of eleven mooring lines and required the assistance of a tug, pilot and mooring crew to resecure the vessel. Two ship's staff were injured during this operation.
Obtaining assistance unfortunately, takes a long time in El Dekheila - the port is likely to be closed once the wind reaches Force 6 or there is a heavy swell running, although a tug is always on standby for emergencies. Once the port is closed, except under special circumstances, no vessel is allowed to enter or leave.
The prevailing wind is from the north and northwest and can reach Force 8/9 - the berths are largely unprotected when the wind is from the north. The Port Authority are aware of the situation - there are, it is reported, studies to increase the length of the breakwater to afford more shelter.

The Endowed Progress Effect
How Artificial Advancement Increases Effort
Download a pdf version of this paper.
- Joseph C. Nunes
- Journal of Consumer Research
2006, 32 (4), 504-12
- This research documents a phenomenon we call the endowed progress effect whereby people provided with artificial advancement towards a goal exhibit greater persistence towards reaching the goal. By converting a task requiring eight steps into a task requiring 10 steps, but with two steps already complete, the task is reframed as one that has been undertaken and incomplete rather than not yet begun. This increases the likelihood of task completion and decreases completion time. The effect appears to depend on perceptions of task completion rather than a desire to avoid wasting the endowed progress. Moderators include the reason, if any, offered for the endowment, and the currency in which progress is recorded.

South Side schoolyard transformation mitigates flooding, improves water quality, learning environment and play areas
Space to Grow benefits Mann Elementary in the South Chicago neighborhood
Space to Grow partners officially unveiled a new schoolyard transformation, taking an old barren playground area and converting it into a vibrant place to play, learn and benefit from the power of green infrastructure by soaking up more water.
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) President Kari K. Steele and MWRD Commissioners Debra Shore and Kimberly Du Buclet joined Chicago Public Schools (CPS) CEO Pedro Martinez and Space to Grow partners from the Chicago Department of Water Management, CPS, Openlands and Healthy Schools Campaign to celebrate the completion of a new schoolyard at Horace Mann Elementary School, at 8050 S. Chappel Ave. Space to Grow transforms Chicago schoolyards into beautiful and functional community spaces for physical activity, outdoor learning, environmental literacy and engagement with art. The spaces also address neighborhood flooding issues by using special surfaces and design elements to capture more rainwater.
"We are thrilled that in addition to all of what is below the ground that these talented students now have a beautiful space to play above ground," said MWRD President Kari K. Steele. "Thank you to all of the partners and the entire school community that helped build and will maintain this beautiful space."
Mann's schoolyard can hold 271,203 gallons of stormwater per rain event and includes: an artificial turf field, porous playground surfacing, two large rain gardens, a nature-play area, and an outdoor classroom with permeable pavers. The campus renovation reduces basement backups, reduces the load on the combined sewer system and educates students and neighbors about green infrastructure techniques and purpose.
"As a former CPS student who attended neighborhood schools, I truly understand what this beautiful new outdoor space at Horace Mann will mean for student learning and the entire community," said CPS CEO Pedro Martinez.
"The green schoolyard at Horace Mann will incorporate landscape features that capture a significant amount of rainfall, helping keep our water resources clean and resulting in less neighborhood flooding," said MWRD Commissioner Du Buclet. "We thank our Space to Grow partners for their commitment to educating our students and protecting our water environment."
Space to Grow has now completed 27 schoolyards, with three more set to be completed in the fall. These 30 schoolyards bring the grand total of storage volume to 5.6 million gallons per rain event, equal to 8.4 Olympic-size pools or 111,108 bathtubs per rain event.
"Like the students at Horace Mann Elementary School, we have been anxiously awaiting the completion of this state-of-the-art schoolyard – a beautiful place for children to play, which will also capture stormwater, reduce flooding, and improve water quality in our streams and waterways," said MWRD Commissioner Debra Shore. "We hope students and their teachers and families enjoy this wonderful space to grow."

Shadowlands: Legendary items
One of your first trips into Torghast will give you a key to show to Ve'nari. She sends you back into Torghast. But, it's not to the wings with all the mobs: when you first portal into Torghast, turn right and go to that door. It leads to the Runecarver. He'll give you some quests (that yes, send you back into Torghast) and leads to a quest for him to collect a bunch of soul ash. He is the one that will build you a legendary item, but his quest description isn't entirely clear as to how to go about it.
Once you have done his first quests, he'll send you out to recover a memory. These memories are the patterns for the legendary effect. You can see a list of them if you click on your Adventure Guide button and then the Powers tab. Hover the mouse over each of the powers, it will tell you what the power does and where it drops. Some drop in dungeons, some in Torghast, some in the raid. If its from a raid, it doesn't matter what difficulty of raid it is, the memory will still be the same.
The tooltip will also tell you what items that legendary power can be applied to (e.g., "shoulder, finger" means that you can have a legendary item crafter for either your shoulders or as a ring). This legendary is its own thing; it's not an enchantment you add to some other piece of gear, but it will be a Ring of Celerity or Shoulders of Dusk and Dawn.
You need 4 things in order to build a legendary:
 1. The specific memory needs to be unlocked.Find the memory as a drop, go back to the Runecarver's chamber, right click the memory in your inventory and it will go onto the list.
 2. A base item.This confuses the most people.If the memory can only be applied to "shoulder, finger" you need either a special shoulder item or a special ring.The special ring, for example, is called a Shadowghast Ring.A lot of materials go into the construction of these items, so they tend to be expensive on the Auction House.More details on the base items below.
 3. Two different missives.These are scrolls prepared by scribes which give secondary stats (crit, haste, etc.).You have to choose 2 different ones.These are also on the AH.
 4. Soul ash, at least 1250.
You take all these items to the Runecarver. It will open an interface, put the base item in the center (so he knows what you want it crafted on), then select the memory you want in the box to the left, and the two missives in the other two boxes. Press create and watch the cut scene.
Side note for crafters: once you unlock the Runecarver, head back to your profession trainer. They will now be able to train you to make the special base pieces at Rank 1. Each time you build a rank 1 item, you will get experience toward rank 2. You have to build 15 rank 1 items to unlock rank 2, then 15 rank 2's to be able to do rank 3, etc. That's why the base items are so expensive on the AH. I think there are guildies who can build all the different rank 1 pieces, but only a few rank 2's. And several people who can make missives. Ask in guild if you're interested, you should expect to provide the raw materials but they may be able to help out.
You can build legendary items at 4 different item levels, from ilvl 190 at rank 1 to ilvl 235 at rank 4. You need a base item of the right rank and the appropriate amount of soul ash (1250 to build a rank 1 and 5150 to build a rank 4). However, the legendary effect doesn't change, only the amount of secondary stats you get. Rank 1 legendaries are fine for most purposes.
If you build a rank 1 legendary, you can upgrade it later. You'll need the higher level base item and the difference in soul ash. So, for example, rank 2 requires 2000 soul ash, but if you are upgrading you get credit for the 1250 it took to build the rank 1. So, you just need the Rank 1 legendary, the rank 2 base item, and 750 additional soul ash. You cannot change memories or missives when upgrading.
What legendary should you build? It should be one that fits your play style and what you're trying to do. Number crunchers have determined the 'best' for certain circumstances, and that's always a good place to start looking, but make sure its something you can make use of.

Adding a few additional details for everyone.
1) If you want to see where your items drop, just open up your Adventure Guide (the book icon on your bottom bar, or Shift-J) and click on the Powers tab. In here you can see each legendary potential for your class/spec and where it drops to help you focus where/what you want to do.
2) Mousing over the legendaries in the Adventure Guide will also tell you which slot that legendary will tie to.
For example, for my Demon Hunter I have this one:
Now I know where to get it and which base item you need to purchase or make.
3) Each class type will need to buy/make a unique base item. For example, if I want to make a chestpiece for the Demon Hunter, I would need to buy an Umbrahide Vest (item level 190, 210, etc.)
CLOTH: Grim-velied
LEATHER: Umbrahide
MAIL: Boneshatter

Request to conserve water in Niseko and Soga areas
The Niseko and Soga areas mainly use spring water for tap water, but the amount of spring water is currently decreasing. This could be due to a decrease in precipitation last summer. Especially in the Niseko area, the water volume is less than 40% of the average year.
For the current shortage of water, we are pumping well water installed next to the Niseko area reservoir and distributing it. However, the water level of the well water is gradually decreasing, and the well water source may wither if the water is used in the same manner as it is now.
For that reason, we ask everyone who uses town water supply in the Niseko and Soga districts to take measures to save water.
Water saving example) ・ Close the faucet frequently when brushing your teeth or washing your hands.
- When washing dishes, pour water in the wash tub and wash.
- In a family with many families, take a bath at a united time
We apologize for any inconvenience, but please cooperate in saving water until the end of the normal drought season in early April.
If you have any questions, please contact Niseko Town government office water and sewage section.

River-powered pumps soon to irrigate Negros Oriental lands
by Rachelle M. Nessia
Dumaguete City (5 February) -- Following its success in irrigating remote mountainside villages in Negros Occidental, the ram pump irrigation unit is now being replicated by the provincial government here for installation in irrigable lands in Negros Oriental.
Governor Emilio C. Macias II has tasked the Provincial Integrated Skills and Training Center (PISTC) here to replicate the cost-efficient and sustainable ram pumps pioneered in Negros Occidental which does not use electricity, battery nor gasoline.
The river-powered ram pumps which are submerged underwater, harnesses the power of running water to vertically push water up to 20 meters high at practically no cost.
The deeper the pump is submerged, the higher it can bring water, said Capitol Information Officer Adrian Sedillo.
Earlier, the Governor has ordered the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) here to check on the province's existing irrigation systems. "According to NIA's report, P72 million is needed just to rehabilitate the existing irrigation systems in the province," said Sedillo.
This prompted the Governor to order the development of the said ram pumps here, of which 10 units will be produced for the first batch.
"We have already identified existing irrigable lands where the ram pumps will be installed. These lands are water-dependent but lack irrigation systems," said Sedillo.
The pumps will be launched in the province under the MACIAS program, or the Mini Attainable Communal Irrigation Agricultural System, which Sedillo said will strengthen the province's food security program. (PIA/rmn) [top]

Primary school bans anti-bullying book after mum complains about racist language
Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
Updated Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
A primary school has banned an anti-bullying book after a mum complained about the word 'P***' being used in a chapter about racist abuse.
Jay Desai, 39, claimed she was horrified when her nine-year-old daughter was told by teachers to read 'Deadly Letter' by Mary Hoffman.
The book, published in 1990, tells the fictional story of a girl called Prity who had just arrived in England from India.
During a three-page passage in the book, the word 'P***' was used to describe Prity's abuse at the hands of school bullies.
Greswold Primary School in Solihull, West Mids., has now removed the book from the library after Mrs Desai lodged a complaint with headteacher Karen Scott.
Mrs Desai, of Solihull, said: "I don't know how it was published in the first place let alone distributed to schools.
"It makes comments about white people - all again very disgusting especially when the book is aimed at six and seven-year-olds.
"The school have been excellent in the way they dealt with the issue.
"They listened to my opinion and took on board my concerns.
"In certain situations, if being someone was being bullied, the book could be great as it shows how a child feels when they are being bullied.
"But I don't think that particular word should be used in a book, especially one aimed at children."
Mind your language
Mrs Desai even tweeted the author about her concerns but Mrs Hoffman defended her choice of language.
In a statement, she said: "I am very sorry if anyone was upset or offended by my book, which was the opposite of my intention.
"I wrote the story partly to highlight casual racism which begins even in primary schools.
"My husband is half-Indian, I have three mixed-race children, now adults, and have been fighting racism all my adult writing life."
Parents whose children attend the school, which caters for 332 pupils aged 5-11 and rated 'Good' by Ofsted last year, were split on the decision to ban the book.
One dad, whose son attends the school, said: "Having read the book with my son, I think the word 'P***' as awful as it is, is appropriate.
"The word is used in the context of bullying and kids should learn from an early age that this word is not acceptable under any circumstances.
"I'm disappointed the school has bowed to pressure and banned the book from their library. Racism should be tackled head on, not swept under the carpet."
Racism lessons
Another mum added: "I think kids of ten or 11 need to be taught racism but young kids should be protected.
"It's like swear words, you wouldn't tell a six-year-old off for swearing because they don't know what they're saying but older kids need to be told what is ok to say."
Publishers Barrington Stoke defended the book, saying the context of the word 'P***' being used was appropriate.
A spokesperson said: "As publishers, we have every confidence in Mary's ability to tackle the difficult subject of playground racism and bullying truthfully and with sensitivity.
"The use of this offensive term is challenged in different ways - and there is absolutely no sense in which the word is seen as acceptable.
"Our belief is that this story shows a proper, nuanced understanding of the issues involved in a way that we hope is appropriate for young readers."

A court order allowing a motion or other legal matter to be set at a time shorter than provided by law or court rules. Shortening time is usually granted when the time for trial or some other court action is approaching and a hearing must be heard promptly by the judge. Example: Local rules require that a party give the other side ten days' notice before a hearing. If the trial is set to begin in nine days, a court might shorten the time to schedule a hearing to five days, provided the notice is served within 24 hours.

|Islam in Panama|
There are 24,000 Muslims in Panama or 0.7% of the population. The first Muslims came to Panama as slaves from Africa brought by the Spaniards, to work the gold mines in 1552. |
A group of Muslim Mandinka slaves numbering 500 escaped from a sinking ship and maintained their independence. They elected Bayano as leader and he led them in their fight against the colonialists. They were steadfast on Islam and built mosques. Bayano made covenants with the Governor of Panama to live in peace but the Spaniards eventually crushed them. Bayano was captured. The river Bayano is named after this Muslim leader.
The second wave of Muslims came from 1904. Muslims from Lebanon and India came and married local women. The formed an organization and built a place of worship in Panama City. Muslims of West Indian descent from Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados also settled in Panama. In 1963 a Muslim cemetery was bought.
The first official mosque was inaugurated in 1982. There are 10 mosques in the country presently. Islam enjoys a prominent place in Panama society. The vast majority of Muslims are of Lebanese, Palestinian and Indian descent. In Colon, Muslims and Jews form the majority of the traders. There are several Muslim organizations in Panama.

Schoodic Institute and Friends of Acadia share the common goal of helping create the brightest future for Acadia National Park, a philosophy that we can add value by working together and coordinating our efforts, and an understanding that the success of both organizations is in the best interest of Acadia and our region.
1. What are the missions of Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute?
The mission of Friends of Acadia is to preserve, protect, and promote stewardship of the outstanding natural beauty, ecological vitality, and distinctive cultural resources of Acadia National Park and surrounding communities for the inspiration and enjoyment of current and future generations.
The mission of Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park is to guide present and future generations to greater understanding and respect for nature by providing research and learning opportunities through its outstanding Acadia National Park setting, unique coastal Maine facilities, and innovative partnership programs.
2. Are Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute affiliated with each other?
Each organization is an independent 501c3 nonprofit, dependent for its success, at least in part, on philanthropic support from individuals and foundations.
3. Do contributions to either organization support the other?
Although there are areas in which each organization's work is relevant to the other, and some areas of direct partnership, in general, contributions to one organization do NOT directly support the other. Each contributes to Acadia and local communities in distinct ways, and each must raise its own operating budget.
Friends of Acadia is a long-established grant-maker to Acadia National Park. Grants from Friends of Acadia may support Acadia National Park programs that occur in partnership between Acadia National Park and Schoodic Institute, or in certain instances, grants may be made directly to Schoodic Institute for such programs.
4. What are some areas where Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute work together?
The primary areas of partnership are in our shared commitments to youth and to resource protection. Delineating roles for each of these areas and how we are working together – or separately on complementary projects – will help ensure efficiency for each organization, clarity for our donors, and the best end result for Acadia National Park.

Large blocks of black are displayed instead of music notation symbols. How can I fix this?
If a Notation product displays large blocks of black instead of music notation symbols, then the explanation is very likely one of the following, for which each has a solution to the problem:
1. If you have had to uninstall and reinstall your Notation Software product, sometimes the Harmony. ttf file may not reinstall properly. To install the Harmony font, first you can download just the font from _URL_
2. Next, open the Fonts folder in the Windows Control Panel. Then copy and paste, or drag and drop, the Harmony font file to the Fonts folder. Windows will carry out the installation of the font automatically.
Also, Notation has a font problem under the following circumstances:
1. The score displays chord names.
2. The font size for the chord names differs from that of the music notation font.
You can work around this problem by making the font size of the chord names the same as that of the music notation font, as follows:
Choose the Font Size and Spacing command in the Score menu.
Choose the Font Setup command in the Font Size and Spacing dialog box.
Set the point size for Music Symbols and Chord Names to be the same. They can be the same number (eg, 10), or they both can be set to Use Default Point Size.

Kahlua Shelf Life: Can It Go Bad?
If you're craving for a delicious adult beverage, there's no better way to scratch that itch than with a nice bottle of Kahlua.
Table Of Contents
You reach into your cupboard to make your favorite White Russian and find the bottle of Kahlua from a party you had last Christmas. As you grab the bottle and look for an expiration date, you might be wondering, "does Kahlua go bad?"
Whether you buy Kahlua regularly for yourself or you only get it every now and then for entertainment, knowing the shelf life of Kahlua is important.
What is Kahlua?
Kahlua is a rum-based liqueur that is meant to taste just like coffee. It is commonly used in alcoholic cocktails and is a great way to add some flavor and excitement to your cocktail parties.
Kahlua contains ingredients such as rum, vanilla bean, arabica coffee, and sugar. It first came on the scene in 1936 and is named after the Veracruz Nahuatl word of the same name, which means "House of the Acolhua people."
The alcohol content of Kahlua is about 20%, although there are some special versions of Kahlua that offer a lower viscosity and a higher alcohol content. Because of this, they are usually less sweet, too.
Kahlua can be consumed by itself, usually neat or on ice, or it can be used in cocktails. It is often used in desserts and as a topping for ice cream, cheesecakes, and cakes, too. Since it's made out of coffee beans, it also contains caffeine. Kahlua is used in some of the following popular cocktails:
 - Espresso Martini
 - White and Black Russians
 - Baby Guinness
 - Colorado Bulldog
 - Spanish coffee
 - Mudslide
Kahlua Shelf Life
Kahlua doesn't have the same long shelf life as other spirits, like whiskey, vodka, Tequila or rum. However, its shelf life might surprise you – it's longer than you think.
Does Kahlua Expire?
To determine the shelf life of your Kahlua, start by determining its production date. Usually, this will be indicated on the back of the bottle, toward the lower edge of the label. The lot number will include a lengthy list that is a combination of letters and numbers.
The first four digits of this combination are what you need to pay attention to. The first four digits represent the year in which the Kahlua was bottled and sent to the stores.
Usually, you'll see the letter L as the first in the sequence, which simply standards for "the last digit of the production year," while the number immediately following that will represent the year. If the number is a 6, it means it was produced in 2016.
How Long Does Kahlua Last?
Once you know the production date, you can determine the shelf life. Original Kahlua has an average shelf life of four years, while Flavored Kahlua usually lasts around two years. Ready to Mix Kahlua has the shortest shelf life – it typically only lasts about a year.
What's important to note is that these dates are better indicators of freshness and quality than they are of safety. You can easily use the liquor after these dates, but it won't have the best possible flavors. Six-year-old Kahlua, if unopened, is probably safe to use, but it won't taste as good as a bottle that's brand new.
Once you open a bottle of Kahlua, these dates become expedited. If you have a bottle of four-year-old Kahlua that's been open for three weeks, it's not going to taste good as a fresh bottle that you just barely opened.
How to Store Kahlua
There are several types of Kahlua on the market, including Original, Flavored, and Ready-to-Drink. Luckily, you don't need to memorize different storage rules for all three – storing any type of Kahlua is usually the same.
When you have an unopened bottle of this liquor, you can store it in any dark, cool place – just as you would a bottle of rum. Usually, a pantry, basement, or cellar is a great option, but you could even stash it in the back of the liquor cabinet for the kitchen cupboard, too. Just keep it cool.
You are more than welcome to store Kahlua in the refrigerator, but if it has not been opened, this is not necessary.
Does Kahlua Need to Be Refrigerated After Opening?
While unopened Kahlua can easily be stored in any cool, dry location, Kahlua that has been opened needs to be stashed in a colder environment.
Once your bottle of Kahlua has been open for a few hours, it needs to be moved to the refrigerator. Not only will it taste best chilled, but this also preserves its shelf life, too.
Make sure you seal your bottle using the original cap. This will provide the best possible seal.
There are people out there who will tell you that Kahlua does not need to be refrigerated after opening. Technically, this is true, as you won't see a difference in how safe it is to drink if it is not refrigerated. However, if you use Kahlua on a regular basis, you are going to want to keep it in the fridge. Not only will it improve its taste and quality, but you won't have to chill it before each serving, either.
How to Tell if Kahlua Has Spoiled
Like other common types of alcohol-based liqueurs (such as amaretto), it's pretty uncommon for Kahlua to truly go bad.
The exception to this is if you are storing Kahlua for a lengthy period of time. If that's the case, you will want to keep an eye out for common signs of spoilage like a strange smell, discoloration, bad taste, or even mold. If you notice these, get rid of the liqueur immediately.
As long as the Kahlua seems normal, you're probably fine to give it a state. If it still has all of its original flavors and aromas, it's perfectly safe to drink.
Can you use Kahlua after the expiration date?
Kahlua, like many types of alcohol, often does not have an expiration date. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine whether it has actually gone bad or not. Instead of an expiration date, it might have a production date, a processing date, a packing date, or a bottling date that will tell you when the product was created.
Otherwise, most manufacturers recommend that Kahlua be consumed within four years of the production date.
Does Kahlua Mudslide go bad?
A Mudslide is simply a drink that is commonly made with Kahlua and other ingredients. There are also premade Mudslide blenders that include ingredients such as nondairy creamers. These mixers go bad a bit more quickly than regular Kahlua, so you will want to pay attention to the dates on the labels. In addition, watch out for signs of spoilage like chunks and odors, too.
Can old Kahlua make you sick?
It is rare for any kind of liqueur or cordial to go bad. The alcohol and the sugar will both serve as preservatives. The brown glass of the bottle can also help keep you safe, as it will prevent sunlight or heat from wreaking havoc with the contents. At the very worst, you might get an upset stomach by drinking old Kahlua.

Nebraska allocation of lottery funds for education programs advanced
Lawmakers gave first-round approval March 24 to a bill that would allocate approximately $100 million in lottery funds to education-related programs over the next five years.
The state Department of Revenue estimates that $21.2 million in lottery funds will be directed to education programs in FY2021-22, $21.7 million in FY2022-23 and $22.1 million in FY2023-24.
Under one new program, the Educational Service Unit Coordinating Council would ensure that annual, evidence-based behavioral awareness and intervention training is available statewide and develop, implement and administer a statewide teacher support system beginning in school year 2021-22.
Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, school districts would ensure that teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, school nurses and counselors receive the training.
LB529 also would direct funds to a new mental health training grant program administered by the state Department of Education.
The Nebraska Opportunity Grant Fund, which provides financial aid to low-income Nebraska residents enrolled at postsecondary educational institutions, would receive the largest allocation at 58 percent, down from the 62 percent allocation it received for fiscal years 2016-17 through 2020-21.
An Education Committee amendment, adopted 29-6, would add an element to the proposed behavioral awareness and intervention training. It would require at least 30 minutes of training dedicated to understanding the duties, rights and responsibilities outlined in the Student Discipline Act and case law addressing student behavior.
The amendment also would create a grant program for students who graduate from an accredited education program at a state youth rehabilitation and treatment center or from a public or private high school within one year of being discharged from a YRTC.
Those students could receive up to $5,000 per year to attend a Nebraska postsecondary educational institution if they meet certain requirements.
"This is a great opportunity to help these kids turn their life around, go to college at least part time and enter the workforce," Walz said.
Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks of Lincoln supported the committee amendment and the bill. If LB529 does not pass, she said, the Nebraska Opportunity Grant program will end in June, leaving Nebraska without a need-based financial aid program for students who attend state postsecondary institutions.
"It's critical, in my mind, to make college education more accessible and more affordable to Nebraska students in need," Pansing Brooks said.
Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh also supported the bill. He said the proposed mental health training grant program could help reduce prison overcrowding by helping teachers identify the signs and symptoms of mental illness in students.
"Early intervention leads to better results, better long-term outcomes for people," Cavanaugh said. "[A] number of people who find themselves in the criminal justice system didn't get any access to mental health care until they got into the criminal justice system."
Sen. Dave Murman of Glenvil introduced an amendment containing many provisions of his LB673. The amendment would authorize teachers and other school personnel to use reasonable physical intervention to manage student behavior to protect themselves, the student or another person from physical injury.
Under Murman's proposal, teachers or other school personnel would not be subject to professional or administrative discipline for physical intervention or removal of a student from a class if they acted in a reasonable manner and in accordance with school policy.
It also would direct each school district to provide behavioral awareness and intervention training to administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, school nurses and counselors beginning in school year 2021-22.
Murman said the amendment would provide funding to each school district and allow them to choose their own training program rather than rely on ESUs.
North Platte Sen. Mike Groene supported the amendment, saying it would protect teachers from being fired or suspended for defending themselves or others from a student who becomes violent.
Walz opposed Murman's amendment, saying ESUs could provide the training more effectively and efficiently. Additionally, Walz said, the teacher support system proposed in the committee amendment would provide teachers ongoing support after they receive training.
Murman later withdrew the amendment but said he would introduce a similar one during the second round of debate.
After adopting a technical amendment, senators voted 28-6 to advance LB529 to select file.

In 1521, Arabs attributed a shortage of water in Jerusalem to Jews making wine.
For as long as I can remember conflict between Arabs and Jews had happened for many reasons. Today that conflict stems around land boundaries. It looks like in 1521 Arabs blamed Jews making wine for a water shortage.
Does the conflict between these two groups exist for deeper reasons? Maybe they were once related. Myths attribute Arabs as descendants of Ishmael while saying Jews descended of Isaac, both sons of Abraham. Do you think their conflicts could be some form of sibling rivalry?
Honestly, I want to know if the Jews were really making so much wine in 1521 to cause a water shortage and why they needed to make so much?

Matching and Netting Agreements
Matching and Netting Agreements
Netting and matching are a feature of foreign exchange risk management and are carried out to reduce the scale of external hedging required.
For example, Group X is expecting to receive $10 million in one subsidiary and pay $6 million at the same time in another subsidiary. Clearly the group only has a net exposure of a receipt of $4 million.
The terms 'netting' and'matching' are often used interchangeably but strictly speaking they are different:
 - Netting refers to netting off group receipts and payments, as in the example above.
 - Matching extends this concept to include third parties such as external suppliers and customers.
Normally netting/matching only occurs in one currency at a time - in the above example $ were matched against $. However, if an agreement exists to do so, groups can also match different currencies against each other. This is the topic of this page.
The calculations can be presented in one of two ways: the tabular method and the diagrammatical method. Both are explained below.
Tabular method
Step 1: Set up a table with the name of each company down the side and across the top.
Step 2: Input all the amounts owing from one company to another into the table and convert them into a common (base) currency (at spot rate).
Step 3: By adding across and down the table, identify the total amount payable and the total amount receivable by each company.
Step 4: Compute the net payable or receivable, and convert back into the original currency.
Diagrammatical method
Step 1: Convert all currency flows to a common (base) currency using spot rates (NOT forward or future rates).
Step 2: Clear the overlap of any bi-lateral indebtedness.
Step 3: Clear the smallest leg of any 3 way circuits.
Step 4: Clear the smallest leg of any 4 way circuits (then 5, etc).
Step 5: Convert back into original currencies.
Step 6: Use the simplified figures for:
A Settlement
B Setting up appropriate hedging tools.

Can I use the Pololu Jrk Motor Controller with Feedback to control a window motor and use it as a steering servo for a power wheels. Basically can I programt the controller to run directly off a RC receiver and to have a center point, then be able to turn the motor both directions about 90 degrees? I hope this makes since.
Yes: for input, the jrk can be directly connected to an RC receiver.
For output/feedback, the jrk can control the position of a motor as long as you have an analog feedback signal that represents the position of the motor. Do you have a potentiometer that turns when your motor turns? If so, the jrk can control the position of that motor if you configure it correctly.
The feedback and input scaling settings of the jrk will let you set the center points.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
One million (1,000,000) or one thousand thousand, is the natural number after 999,999 and before 1,000,001. The name is derived from Italian, where mille was 1,000, and 1,000,000 became milione, "a large thousand".
In scientific notation, it is written as 1×106 or just 106. Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega-, when dealing with SI units. For example, 1 megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts.
Il Milione is the title of Marco Polo's narration of his travel to China. The name is supposed to come from Polo's nickname after his tales of riches and multitudes.

text: The most widely used methods for sludge blanket measurements are based on acoustic or optic principles. In operation, both methods are expensive and often maintenance-intensive. Therefore a novel, reliable and simple method for sludge blanket measurement is proposed. It is based on the differential pressure measurement in the sludge zone compared with the differential pressure in the clear water zone, so that it is possible to measure the upper and the lower sludge level in a tank. Full-scale tests of this method were done in the secondary clarifier at the waste water treatment plant in Hecklingen, Germany. The result shows a good approximation of the manually measured sludge level.

The piovdc library for writing Vapor Data Collection (VDC) 2 data files _URL_
The piovdc library is used to write VDC2 data files in a parallel manner using PIO. After the prerequisite library functions are used, a call to pio_writedarray is made, writing the passed data to an on disk VDC2 collection.
VDF meta-file must be generated, using either rawtovdf or vdfcreate if advanced features (wavelet type, compression ratios, or boundary type) are needed VDF file requires VDC version to be 2, and requires the Waveletname, WaveletBoundaryMode, CompressionRations, and NumTransforms to be set.
After a successful write, VDC2 data will be in a directory located in the same directory as the vdf file, using the vdf name, appended with _data (ex. ghost.vdf generates VDC2 data in the dir ghost_data in the vdf dir) If no compression is enabled, a single, uncompressed file will be generated using PIO instead of a VDC

District Judges undertake most of the civil work of the courts, and fall into two catagories: those that sit in the County Courts (and were previously known as County Court Registrars), and those that sit in the Magistrates' Courts (and were previously known as Stipendiary Magistrates). The senior District Judge is also known as the Chief Magistrate.
How to Address a District Judge
The recommended judicial and social styles of address are as follows:
|Beginning of letter||Dear Judge or Dear Sir/Madam
|End of letter||Yours faithfully|
||District Judge Phllips
|Envelope (if a knight)||District Judge Sir John Phillips (formal)|
|Envelope (if a Dame)||District Judge Dame Elizabeth Phllips (formal)|
|Envelope (social)||District Judge Phllips|
|Verbal address (on the Bench)||Sir/Madam|
|Verbal address (social)||Judge Phllips or according to title
On retirement, District Judges are not referred to by any
judicial title and revert to Mr, Mrs, Mrs or Ms.

Tombs of the sacrificers?
A few tombs share the characteristic of containing a few very specific objects
: full warrior equipment including a sword in its sheath, spear, shield and also a knife or cleaver (butcher's blade) and an axe with an eye handle, together with one or more small buckets, a bronze pan, a toolbox, and fragments of amphorae. One or other of these objects may be missing, depending on the chronology, but the assembly is still remarkable
. The trilogy of weapon(s)-small bucket(s)-axe/cleaver is always found and the general destruction of the weapons is reminiscent of the Gauls' sacred sites.
One of the axes fits perfectly into the wound in the skull of the murdered man discovered at the settlement and this similarity, together with the specific sets of metal objects, could indicate the tombs of sacrificers
. The replacement of the axe with the butcher's cleaver, at a time when hundreds of ewes were ritually slaughtered at the settlement, is another argument for viewing these remains as those of men of religion.

Tips to Reduce Hard Drive Usage
Here are some tips on how to reduce the amount of hard drive space for mail:
- If you are on IMAP, unsubscribe from folders that are infrequently used by selecting "Subscribe..." from File menu.
- Delete older messages that are no longer needed.
- Empty your Trash and Junk folders.
- Periodically compact your folders by selecting "Compact Folders" from the File menu. Additionally, you can set thresholds for when folders should be automatically compressed by going to Preferences|Options / Advanced / Network & Disk Space / and set a lower number for compacting.
- You can prevent message bodies from being indexed on an account-by-account basis. Go to Preferences|Options / Accounts / [your account] / Local Storage and deselect indexing for message bodies.
Additionally, if you are using Gmail:
- Limit the number of messages that appear in IMAP folders. This can be adjusted at Gmail on the Web / Settings / Forwarding and IMAP tab / Folder Size Limits. Try setting these limits to a smaller number.
- Unsubscribe from the Gmail "Important" folder if you are not actively using that label.
- Consider unsubscribing from the All Mail folder, and use a different folder for Archiving.
- Consider using Postbox Topics instead of Postbox Labels, as each time you use a Gmail Label it creates another copy of the message in Postbox.

Yes, scientists are studying your poop to track new COVID-19 variants. Here's how it works
In Oklahoma, some COVID-19 research starts with your poo.
Technically, the human waste collected at wastewater treatment plants and sewer pipes around the state are tested for the presence of coronavirus, which gives health officials a clearer picture of how the virus has spread.
Samples collected in January, for example, showed that three emerging variants of concern had arrived in Oklahoma.
"People start shedding the virus in their feces soon after infection, about the same timing that you can detect it in the nasal pharyngeal swab," said Brad Stevenson, associate professor of microbiology at the University of Oklahoma. "The concentrations are high enough that we can detect (virus from) an individual in a building or individuals in a neighborhood, of course citywide as well."
How the project got started
The project began at OU in Stevenson's lab using samples collected from dormitories. It expanded statewide with help from OU Health and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the Oklahoma City-County Health Department.
Raw sewage is sampled from wastewater treatment plants in Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Norman, Anadarko and Tulsa, and from sewer manholes at 14 locations across Oklahoma City.
Wastewater treatment plants are used to sanitize human waste, and in many cases, allow it to re-enter the watershed safely. Biosolids are separated and often used as fertilizer.
Using poop to identify COVID hotspots
Jason Vogel, director of the Oklahoma Water Survey and professor in the OU School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, said the sewage surveillance project isn't meant to identify individual cases of COVID-19.
"It's really meant to be a planning tool and to identify hot spots, and also to look at trends over time — especially when we get to the wastewater treatment plant level," Vogel said. "That could be a conglomerate of 50,000 or 100,000 or more people, but over time we can look at trends and see how the population is doing."
Scientists have analyzed wastewater for decades to measure, on a large scale, what humans put into their bodies. Samples can show what kinds of pharmaceuticals or illicit drugs are being used, or detect the emergence of disease. Stevenson said Oklahoma's project builds on the work of others.
Sharing Oklahoma's COVID-19 data
"One of the things that's been really remarkable during the pandemic is that scientists all over the world have been sharing their data really openly, their experiences, their successes and failures and limitations," he said. "And so I'm participating in more open science now than ever before."
The project launched at a time when state epidemiologists faced challenges on drawing conclusions based only on individual test results and case reports. That's where the program's value lies, said Oklahoma City-County Health Department Chief Operating Officer Phil Maytubby.
Recent sewage surveillance shows a marked discrepancy between positive clinical test results and the presence of coronavirus in wastewater, meaning that there likely are more people walking around with COVID-19 than test results indicate.
Are Oklahomans with COVID-19 going untested?
"We think that there may be a lot more asymptomatic people out there that really don't know they have COVID so they haven't even sought out testing," Maytubby said. "Actually we've been working on messaging around that because right now the allergies are so bad for a lot of folks right now. They may think they have allergies and they may have COVID."
The health department soon will open vaccine sites targeted to specific geographic populations based on the data collected from wastewater.
Sewage surveillance isn't 100% conclusive, Maytubby added, but it does give health officials a good idea of what's going on. This technology could also be used in the future, whether it's monitoring for another wave of coronavirus or other diseases that afflict Oklahomans.
"It's going to be a great early warning system if we get any new novel viruses that are out there. As long as there's a way to test them, we can check that," he said.

DSL workflow design
HI Team,
I'm looking for your suggestion on DSL workflow design. My challenge is how to pass data into a workflow. Considering there two cases,
 1. Manual activity which will wait for a user input.
 It's not ideal to poll from activity.
 2. aws sqs message listener activity which will listen on a queue, filter message if condition matched then continue to next activity.
 Creating a listener in every running workflow to poll message will not work. It makes more sense to have a centralized listener to filter and dispatch message to corresponding workflow instance. Then this activity will basically just wait for a message trigger and consume the message
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
Thanks
Gaoxin
Signal is the way to go in this case. No need to use an activity or queue. Just signal a workflow when user completes the action.
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
I don't understand your concern. You can always include some correlation id into the signal data and lookup a specific node in your DSL using it.
Thank you Maxim for your quick response. The DSL is generated flowchart by frontend drag & drop UI.Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or others steps which need input data have to be activities for user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute. Also, as far as I understand, every workflow have different ID. I will need to filter all running workflow, find out the dsl and check if next activity needs signal and then send signal. Is there a better way to do this. Thank you very much.
Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or other steps which need input data have to be activities for the user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute.
There is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly. A single UI element can be implemented with any amount of code in Temporal. For example, a DSL step like "deploy my service to production" can be implemented with a pretty complex child workflow that talks to dozens of services.
I'm pretty sure that your users do not think in terms of Temporal activities. They think about business-level actions that should be performed.
So a manual step which is a single DSL workflow element can be mapped to an activity that initiates this step and a signal handling logic that completes the step. For implementation simplicity, you can always create higher-level coding abstractions (like OO classes) to encapsulate complex behaviors.

Why currently UI element is mapped to activities is when user execute a workflow, they can see state, input/output of each element. It's straightforward to call GetWorkflowHistory to get activity detailed information and display real time data on UI.
And in our user cases, we provide fundamental functionalities as activities mapped to UI element node, different team can drag & drop element to create their own workflow based on their business requirement.
But you are right, there is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly.Backend can handle the logic for two way bindings, how to execute and feed data back to the frontend.
Will serverless workflow DSL be supported by temporalio in future (not just the dsl sample). This will allow to write the DSL in yaml/json.
Long-term plan is to make it easier to support any type of DSL on top of Temporal. As far as serverless workflow DSL, definitely planning to provide support for the entire DSL in the future. There is already some ongoing work in the serverless workflow community to provide full DSL support for Temporal. Idea is to then contribute it to the Temporal community, so stay tuned.
@tihomir W.r.t DSL support, you mean that the interpretor logic required for serverless workflow execution to run with Temporal will be part of future support?
Yes, current plan is to provide support for serverless workflow dsl exec on Temporal (Java SDK). There is a number of contributors currently, and work is ongoing. Plan is to provide an open-source library people can use to for that integration.
Hi, is there some progress? Is here a plan to support GO SDK too?
Thank you.
Some progress for Java SDK integration which will be made public hopefully very soon (same timeframe alongside next spec release, will update here). I don't know about integration with Temporal Go SDK currently. Would help to understand the amount of interest for it first.
Hi @tihomir,
Continuing with this thread.
I'm looking at serverless workflow with Go. I'm creating a prototype but am running into an issue. If the activity that workflow is executing is defined in Serverless, we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code.
e.g.
//Get the function from serverless workflow model
 function := wfdef.GetFunction(action.FunctionRef.RefName)
 ao := workflow.ActivityOptions{
 StartToCloseTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
 TaskQueue: "test",
 }
 ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, ao)
 //get activity name
 activityName := function.Operation
 var result any
 //execute activity
 err := workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, activityName, stateInputData.Data).Get(ctx, &result)
If I run the above code - I get an error:
payload item 0: value type: interface {}: must be a concrete type, not interface
I understand why I get this message in Go as it's expecting a type, but if my workflow is based on serverless, we don't know in advance what the type is. How do you approach this from a serverless perspective?
Thanks,
Jay.
we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code
When using most DSLs you are bound to JSON data, as you define the manipulation of this data inside your DSL via expression languages rather than code.
Servless Workflow specification says that workflow data is a valid JSON object and that is defined to be the result of both your activities / child workflows as they are added to the JSON workflow data (based on filter rules if defined).
You can definitely define a struct that would hold your workflow data like what we did in the Java dsl sample here.
You could also define default activity result type for all your activities that just holds the JSON result that you would then merge with your workflow data.
Hope this helps.
Hi @tihomir , any update on support for serverless workflow integration with temporal(Java SDK)?
No specific update other than looking for community help on this. If you are interested please let me know so can start sharing what we have so far.
Yes, would be happy to help !!
Even I also want to help here.
Hi @tihomir , any update or timeline we shall look forward to? Please let me know if there is help needed.

Start Evolves Webinar: Dan McClure on feedback loops for complex systems
07 July 2017
The Start Network's vision is a humanitarian system in which funding will be dependable and predictable, responses are based on humanitarian need and context-appropriate. For this to become reality, the Start Network needs to evolve into a global, decentralised 'network of networks'.
But what kind of organisation can help deliver such a complex system, one that can impact across the humanitarian sector? In this webinar, Dan McClure of ThoughtWorks discusses the importance of feedback loops in achieving emergent change, and how we can move away from traditional organisational structures.

Adapting pediatric psychology interventions: lessons learned in treating families from the middle East.
ABSTRACT Pediatric psychologists are increasingly called upon to treat children from non-Western countries, whose cultures may contrast with a Western medical setting. Research on cultural adaptations of evidence-based treatments (EBTs), particularly for individuals from the Middle East, is sparse. To address this need, we discuss clinical issues encountered when working with patients from the Middle East.
Synthesis of the literature regarding culturally adapted EBTs and common themes in Middle Eastern culture. Case vignettes illustrate possible EBT adaptations.
Integrating cultural values in treatment is an opportunity to join with patients and families to optimize care. Expectations for medical and psychological treatment vary, and collaborations with cultural liaisons are beneficial.
Critical next steps include systematic development, testing, and training in culturally adapting EBTs in pediatric medical settings. Increased dialogue between clinicians, researchers, and cultural liaisons is needed to share knowledge and experiences to enhance patient care.

Get to know the largest islands in Mexico and live their natural wonders
In the largest islands of Mexico you will discover true paradises in front of different seas, which stand out for their territorial extension and incomparable natural beauty.
To get to know these islands, it is necessary to take a tour throughout the country, famous for its varied and beautiful coasts.
Isla Tiburón (Shark Island) occupies the top of the largest islands in Mexico, with an area of more than 1,198 square kilometers.
It is located in the Gulf of California and is considered a natural sanctuary.
In 1978 it was recognized as a reserve area and refuge for migratory birds, as well as wildlife.
To reach this largest island in Mexico, it is necessary to take a road through Punta Chueca, a community inhabited by the indigenous people of the continental Seris.
Isla Ángel de la Guarda
The second largest island in Mexico is held by Ángel de la Guarda, with an area of 1,176 square kilometers.
It is also located in the Gulf of California, 133 kilometers east of the city of Ensenada.
This island is home to many animal species, including the endangered bighorn sheep.
The island of Cozumel
Now heading to the Mexican Caribbean, Cozumel occupies the third place among the largest islands in Mexico, but it is in the first place as the only one inhabited.
With an area of 477.5 square kilometers, it is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the country, with a large number of beaches and coral reefs that are recognized in the world for snorkeling and especially scuba diving.
Isla Espíritu Santo
The fourth largest island in Mexico is Espiritu Santo, with an area of 335.6 square kilometers.
It is located in the Gulf of California, near the coast of Baja California Sur. It is known for its impressive marine life, including a large number of whale sharks that come to this area every year.
The largest islands in Mexico offer a unique experience, thanks to their beautiful beaches and coral reefs, to their great variety of flora and fauna, which make each of them the most appreciated natural treasures in the country.

The Brandenburg-Prussian Superior Board of Mines in Berlin Responsibilities, Tasks and Leading Personalities from 1810 to 1838
The fact that the Brandenburg-Prussian Superior Board of Mines or the Superior Board of Mines for the Provinces of Brandenburg and Prussia only existed for 28 years is probably why this authority has failed to receive the credit it deserved for its work in more recent histories of mining administration. Nevertheless, the establishment of this now virtually forgotten Superior Board of Mines in 1810 can be regarded as a result of the Stein-Hardenberg administrative reforms. To demonstrate this, the article begins with a brief review of the mining laws and the administration of the Prussian mining industry towards the end of the 18th century.
The report then describes in detail what led to the establishment of this provincial authority and how its responsibilities changed over the years from its foundation in 1810 to its dissolution in 1838. A close look is also taken at the Board's staff, in particular the long-standing head of the Board and subsequent Director of Mines, Hans Otto Philipp Martin. Before he took over the management of die Silesian Superior Board of Mines in 1833, he fought in the mid-1820s for the survival of the Brandenburg-Prussian Board, which was already doubtful only 15 years after its establishment. In the end, however, he was unable to prevent the Superior Board of Mines for Brandenburg and Prussia having to hand over its work to the Berlin Superior Mining Directorate and other subordinate authorities. It was finally dissolved in 1838.

Flojet 115 VAC and 12 VDC Demand Pumps
Questions & Answers
- What Flojet Pumps are recommended for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water
- Can Flojet Pumps run continuously?
- The Flojet manual states Intermittent duty. Can be run continuously for short periods of time. The higher the duty cycle the shorter the expected life of the pump.
- What does short periods of time mean?
- Up 60 minutes with discharge pressure of up to 20 PSI. Up to 20 minutes when the discharge pressure is over 20 PSI. The off-time should be the same or more than the run time.
- What is meant by demand operation?
- Demand Operation is considered an "intermittent duty" application.
- What is an intermittent duty cycle?
- The maximum intermittent duty cycle is that which will cause the motor to reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is reached, the motor must be allowed to settle to a lower temperature ideally being ambient before resuming operation. Running the pump at or near the maximum thermal limit for extended period of time will shorten the life of the pump and may result in immediate pump failure.
- What diaphragm and valve materials are recommended by Flojet for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water.
- Are Flojet pumps recommended for permanent residential domestic water applications?
- Units are NOT designed for permanent residential domestic water applications.
- Can I connect rigid pipe to the pump?
- FLOJET does not recommend the use of rigid pipe and fittings. Use flexible hose of the correct pressure rating that is compatible with the fluid to be pumped. Tubing should be at least 20 inches in length to avoid excess stress on the pump ports.
- Should I use a check valve on the pump suction line?
- The use of check valves in the plumbing system could interfere with the priming ability of the pump. If a check valve is installed in the plumbing it must have a cracking pressure of no more than 2 PSI
- Should I use a strainer on the pump inlet?
- Flojet recommends the use of a minimum 40-mesh strainer or filter in the pump inlet line will prevent foreign debris from entering the system. Failures due to foreign debris entering the pump will not be covered under the limited warranty.
- Can Flojet pumps be used (intermittent duty) for hydraulic oil and water-glycol?
- For petroleum based products such as hydraulic oil use Buna diaphragm and check valves, the same with Glycol use Buna diaphragm and check valves.
