Steam is a very effective heat transfer medium, due to easy transportability and high heat content,it is used in process industry for direct and indirect heat transfer.
When steam is used for indirect heat transfers in heat exchanger,reactor and other indirect heating equipment it gives off its latent heat(useful heat) to process and converts itself into liquid from known as condensat.This high pressure condensate when released to atmospheric pressure can no longer hold high heat content.The excess heat is released as Flash steam.
High pressure condensate is at almost the same pressure as steam and contains around 15 to 20% heat of fuel.This heat if recovered shall reduce fuel consumption to the extent of 20%.
In addition to the fuel savings, boiler quality water is also recovered, and is used in boiler.This has effect of reduce cost of water and water treatment chemicals.Further good quality boiler feed water reduces the blowdown losses resulting in fuel savings.To summarize,the efficient condensate recovery system will ensure
- High temperature feed water
- Good quality boiler feed water
- lower blowdown losses
- lower water treatment looses
Our CRS is an integrated system comprising of a Flash Steam Generator, Steam operated Condensate Transfer Pump and Dearetor Unit with immersion tube.
This system recovers efficiently flash steam,hot condensate and feed them to the feed water tank through a well designed Deareator unit with immersiion tube.
Our CRS is a state of the art system using latest engineering practices, designed to give you savings in fuel cost year after year after year.
TACTS is a plug in systemspecifically designed to collect and pump hot condensate, commonly returned for use as boiler feed water.The whole system is capable of handeling capacities up to 5500 kg/hr. Operated by stean or compressed air can be tailored to meet a wide variety of condenste handling applications.Higher flow handelin capacity up to 16000kg/hr available in duplex and triplex pumps.

When high pressur condensate is discharged from steam traps to low pressure condensate return lines, excess energy is released in the form of flash steam.This flash steam can be used to heat boiler feed water or for low pressure steam application
- adequately sized to minimize pressure drop
- steam trap sized to handle condensate at low pressure differance to be fitted at condensate outlet
- Designed with optimum seperation velocity to et dry steam
ATMOSPHERIC DE-AERATOR with IMMERSION TUBE
- Facilitates mixing of condensate, flash steam and cold make- up water
- Liberates dissolved gases and oxygen
- SS De-aerator head with SS immersion tube
Atmospheric De-aerator Head is designed to remove dissolved gases and oxygen from the feed water by proper mixing of condensate,flash steam and cold make up.Solubility of oxygen and other dissolved gases decreases with rise in temperature and they are released from solution. These gases are then released through the air vent fitted on the de aerator head.
The mixing action takes place by suitably locating the nozzles and providing spray screens and baffles.A Thermax flash condensing de-aerator head consists of three parts
- Atmospheric De-aerator head, which is bolted to the top of the tank and is supplied with connection for cold make up, condensate return,flash steam and recirculation.

CEE Discussion Papers from Centre for the Economics of Education, LSE
Despite its relatively small size, the private school sector plays a prominent role in British society. This paper focuses on changing wage and education differentials between privately educated and state educated individuals in Britain. It reports evidence that the private/state school wage differential has risen significantly over time, despite the rising cost of sending children to private school. A significant factor underpinning this result has been faster rising educational attainment for privately educated individuals. Despite these patterns of change, the proportion attending private school has not altered much, nor have the characteristics of those children (and their parents) attending private school. Taken together, our findings are consistent with the idea that the private school sector has been successful in transforming its ability to generate the academic outputs that are most in demand in the modern economy. Because of the increased earnings advantage, private school remains a good investment for parents who want to opt out, but this increase has also contributed to rising wage inequality and falling social mobility.

Colorado Republicans already had a large field from which to choose their gubernatorial candidate when the party's state assembly gathers Saturday in Boulder at Coors Events Center.
There's Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, businessman Barry Farah, Stephen Barlock, Lew Gaiter and Greg Lopez.
And now that Walker Stapleton has chosen the assembly route after throwing out his already approved petitions because one worker was not a registered Colorado voter, he's liable to sweep most of those candidates who have little name recognition, backing, or support, right out the door.
Stapleton is entering the state assembly with only four days to prep, but he hit the ground fast with his campaign. And with a solid lead already in the polls plus his strong popularity with conservatives, Stapleton is expected to lead in the balloting.
Before Stapleton's entrance into the assembly arena, Coffman was the strong contender despite some earlier campaign missteps. She waited too long to enter the race, delayed her decision to get on the ballot by petition until the last minute, and then ran out of money. So she dumped the petition route and chose the assembly.
Stapleton and Coffman have both run and won statewide campaigns — he's the treasurer, she's the attorney general. However, Stapleton led the field, and Coffman by 13 percent, in the latest poll by Magellan Strategies.
Stapleton had 26 percent and Coffman 13 percent, while candidates going the petition route ranked much lower — Doug Robinson with 8 percent and Victor Mitchell with 5 percent.
Farah, Barlock, Gaiter and Lopez were all lumped into the "other" category, which polled a combined and total 9 percent.
Lopez has to overcome his history, which includes an incident of domestic violence that he and his wife awkwardly addressed earlier this year.
Barlock is short on funds, but hoping to ride President Trump's coattails. He served as Trump's campaign co-chair in Denver.
Gaiter is pursuing an unusual campaign strategy, where he refuses to discuss policy issues and really hasn't campaigned.
Farrah is new to the campaign, he announced his intention to run for governor about about three weeks ago.
Whichever candidate wins on Saturday, they might have to face Mitchell and/or Robinson in the primary.
We wish everyone the best of luck, especially the candidates who are really serious about leading this state as governor.

I decided we needed to get out and see something here in Albuquerque. I chose the Petroglyph Monument as I'd heard the parking fee was only $1 on weekdays and there is no admission charge. I thought it would be an interesting site. Yes, it was hot. But we only needed to be out for a bit. I don't ever want to push the family to do more than necessary. So we donned hats, sunglasses and lathered on the sunscreen.
The thing is you have to climb over rocks and up a hill. It's not really that bad. But for Fiona who is scared of heights, it was not the fun she'd expected. Though she was unhappy most of the way, she did trudge on. But it's not a place she'll want to go back to. :)
It was cool to look out over Albuquerque and see way over there on the other side the mountains. It's in those foothills that we're staying. It was at least 10 degrees hotter at the Petroglyph site than where we're staying.
Next time we look at Petroglyphs maybe we'll find some at Fiona's eye level.

In recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day, NORML chapters around the country are taking action to highlight the positive that marijuana legalization can play in combating America's opioid crisis. Many NORML leaders are hosting community forums to highlight the growing evidence that regulated marijuana access is positively associated with decrease in opioid overdose fatalities, hospitalizations, dependency and use.
To amplify these efforts, NORML has created action alerts targeting local, state, and federal opioid task forces and committees — urging them to make marijuana regulation a part of their discussions and strategies.
Please take just two minutes to use our prewritten letters and send a message to each target.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy: Contact the ONDCP Commission: Medical Marijuana as an Alternative to Opioids
Federal lawmakers: Urge your members of Congress to acknowledge the role of cannabis in combating the prescription drug overdose epidemic
State lawmakers: Urge your state lawmakers to acknowledge the role of cannabis in combating the prescription drug overdose epidemic
Opioid-involved overdose deaths have increased five-fold since 1999 and were involved in over 40,000 deaths in 2016. Deaths involving benzodiazepines, a family of anti-anxiety drugs, have increased eight-fold during this same time period.
Several observational studies — such as those here, here, and here — find that medical marijuana regulation is correlated with reductions in opioid-related use, drug spending, abuse, hospitalization, and mortality. Separate data evaluating prescription drug use trends among individual patients enrolled in state-licensed medical marijuana programs is consistent with this conclusion, finding that many chronic pain subjects reduce or eliminate their use of opioids following enrollment.
The available data is consistent and clear. For many patients, cannabis offers a viable alternative to opioids. It is time for lawmakers to stop placing political ideology above the health and safety of the American public, and to acknowledge the safety and efficacy of marijuana as an alternative medical treatment.
You can review many more published studies on the NORML factsheet Relationship Between Marijuana and Opioids.

Is there an active opioid commission or task force in your community? Email me at email@example.com and we'll create an action alert to engage and educate your elected officials about the role access to marijuana can play in reducing opioid-related deaths, hospitalizations, and total number of opioids prescribed.

Ariana Grande And Halsey Are Your Dangerous, Dynamic 2016 MTV Movie Awards Performers
The 2016 MTV Movie Awards just got a lot badder and a whole lot more dangerous.
The evening's list of announcers keeps getting longer — and now, we're pleased to share that this year's awards ceremony will feature musical performances from none other than "Dangerous Woman" Ariana Grande and Badlands singer Halsey.
Grande will be making her MTV Movie Awards debut to perform the title track from her forthcoming studio album, Dangerous Woman. Halsey, meanwhile, will perform the live debut of "Castle" from the upcoming Universal film The Huntsman: Winter's War.
"This will be the first time I perform 'Castle,'" Halsey said. "This song is so important to me as a woman; it's about not letting anything get in your way. I'm so happy MTV & The Huntsman are giving me the opportunity to present that message on television. Plus it'll look sick."
In case that lineup wasn't sick enough for you, Kendrick Lamar will also be on board to present the True Story Award during the telecast. Previously announced presenters include Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Olivia Munn and Gigi Hadid, while Will Smith will receive the MTV Generation Award. And even more presenters have yet to be announced.
Hosted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart, the 2016 MTV Movie Awards will air on Sunday, April 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT from the backlot of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, CA.

It focuses on effective communication through PowerPoint, and you will get concrete tools to create neat and good-looking slides for the benefit of your audience, as well as the ability to improve your colleagues' presentations.
Presentation Technique With an Impact
Whether you present ideas, sell products, describe projects or convey strategies, you need to make an impact and catch the attention of the audience. On the presentation technique course, you will get the necessary tools to get your message across in a convincing manner. The days are variations between input and practical, rhetorical training, and the presentations on stage will be recorded for the participants' own subsequent self-reflection and learning. Since everyone is unique, this is not a one size fits all. The participants will receive personal coaching so that they realise their individual potential. The starting point is always what works well. When this is defined, the participants will find the energy and motivation to develop even further.
Effective Facilitation
Effective facilitation of meetings, workshops or any form of training is crucial, when it comes to achieving results and ensuring you don't waste the participants' time. On this course, you will learn how to plan and run any facilitation format in an effective manner. The course will let you try out numerous methods of activation for your meetings or workshops, e.g. establishing the context, energizing the participants, evaluating, generating ideas etc. All of this applied to a case from your own context.
Virtual Presentations
The need for virtual presentations – whether it is Skype, Teams, teleconferences etc. – is rapidly increasing. Knowing how to involve the participants, mastering virtual facilitation methods, applying different question types and many other topics will make your future virtual presentations so effective, that you can actually save a substantial amount of time on the session. On this course, you will learn a brand new approach, which revolutionizes your virtual communication.
Personal Coaching / Conference preparation
PowerPoint and presentation technique can be combined in a personal development program for an individual. Every year, we train a large number of managers and specialists in their presentation and communication skills. On a personal coaching program, our starting point is always your concrete presentations, which we rehearse until they are magnificent. The amount of training depends on the specific needs – in some cases we are part of an executive's setup for years, and in other cases, we only participate in a one-off trial run before e.g. an important conference, which needs to be of TED quality.
We would love to hear from you.
Please write and email, and we will get back to you shortly.
– Albert Einstein

SUMMARY: Nipple inversion can be a difficult topic to discuss for both men and women. Understanding what can cause this issue can help an individual decide on the best course of action.
It's an admittedly personal question. But if they are, you might be curious about why they're that way, whether you should be worried, and what – if anything – you can do about it.
A Sensitive Issue
The condition, known as "inverted nipples," is often present at birth. In fact, the Columbia University health-related blog Go Ask Alice equates them to having an 'innie' or 'outtie' bellybutton. The blog goes on to offer the reassurance that this congenital condition is not inherently a medical problem.
In this case, the "outtie" is of course the norm. As a result, people with naturally inverted nipples often find themselves feeling embarrassed about a physical characteristic they've simply always had.
Kids can be cruel – and so, unfortunately, can adults. Males young and old who have inverted nipples may feel too ashamed to take off their shirts in public. Women with the condition may feel apprehensive in intimate situations.
Deeper Concerns
"Ask Alice" cautions its readers that inverted nipples may indicate a deeper health issue when what was previously an "outtie" becomes an "innie." Women older than 50 who experience this phenomenon should have themselves checked for underlying conditions that include mammary duct inflammation and a specific form of breast cancer.
Though not as common, breast cancer can also occur in males. To be safe, men who develop inverted nipples should also have themselves checked by a physician.
Inverted nipples can present further problems when it comes to breastfeeding, although they do nothing to suppress the actual production of milk. The issue occurs because the infant has to latch onto the mother's nipple to draw milk. An inverted nipple can hinder this action, thereby preventing the baby from feeding.
Websites such as What to Expect® recommend breast pumps or plastic shells to expose the nipple for feeding. Another common method involves the use of the hands to achieve the same purpose. These techniques may prove effective for some women. However, What to Expect warns that plastic shells can cause skin discomfort and, for the image-conscious, show through thin clothing.
Problem Solved
Numerous breast surgeons specialize in inverted nipple surgery. One such practice, The Plastic Surgery Group in Albany, NY, offers the procedure both as a cosmetic correction and as an alternative to the aforementioned methods. According to the practice's website, any type of self-manipulation can sometimes be painful and ineffective.
Surgical correction of inverted nipples requires only a small incision. Depending on the patient's goals, the surgeon may or may not detach the milk ducts. In the case of detachment, breastfeeding becomes impossible. However, procedures that can leave the ducts attached – or even partially attached – can help women breastfeed more effectively.
The hour-long procedure typically requires only local anesthesia. Both male and female patients can experience some tenderness and swelling for a few days after their surgery.
As is the case with any medical condition, the best solution will differ from person to person. And of course, surgery isn't for everyone. If you want to correct your inverted nipples, just know that you have options – even if your best one happens to be doing nothing at all.

So, Coachella tickets sold out a few weeks ago. Evidently, the lineup is killer, accommodating to most tastes. Last year, the festival sold out in a week. This year, even with two weekends available, tickets sold out within a couple of hours.
Don't have tickets to the show? Don't fret! What if there were not only two weekends of Coachella happening this year, but many more with plenty of tickets still available? Okay. There aren't, but here are a few imagined alternate Coachella festivals.
FYI, information on these festivals can't be found anywhere else. This stuff is totally exclusive.

For one of the most anticipated, exciting, and imaginative holidays, Halloween is also one of the most dangerous. Hospitals all over the U.S. prepare for a night of terror on hallows eve.
Obstructed Vision
According to U.S. News, physicians in the Chicago area state that most accidents occur between 4p.m and 10p.m due to vision obstruction. This is not only for drivers, but for trick-or-treaters as well. Whether the costume contains a mask, low-hanging hat or face paint, amongst the excitement there is plenty of distraction. Consider avoiding costumes that make it hard for your child to see or suggest removing the accessory when crossing residential and busy roads.
Dark Costumes
Most Halloween costumes, especially those of little children. tend to be of a darker color making it difficult for drivers to see them. Many proactive parents give their children glow-sticks to prevent this from happening. That can unfortunately, backfire. It isn't uncommon for children to break their glow sticks splashing the liquid into their eyes. U.S News states that Dr. Henry Spiller, director of the Central Ohio Poison Center, estimates 800 children nationwide come in each year with glow-stick related injuries. We suggest a flashlight or a headlamp to accompany anyone venturing out on Halloween.
Decorative Contact Lenses
One of the most common eye-specific injuries during Halloween time is that of decorative contact lenses. While they are a crowd hit at the party they are also a hit to your cornea, not in a good way. Users are at risk of scratching the eye, getting an infection, decreased vision and even blindness while wearing contacts that are not prescribed by a health professional. Not to scare you away from turning your not-so-exciting brown pupil into a venomous snake's eye, there are other ways to do that … safely. Avoid the over-the-counter contacts and set up an appointment with your physician to get prescribed lenses.
One night is not worth throwing away your great vision. By taking all the mentioned above precautions, a 20/20 Halloween night is in sight.
Your vision. Your way.
Not covered for vision? Get an individual plan, customized for you – including where you want to use it: at the doctor, in a retail location, or even online.
Have fun creating your own bespectacled monster. And moms, don't forget to tend to the vision of the little monsters living in your home.
Occasional eye problems are a fact of life, especially for those of us who wear contacts or glasses. But while you don't want to run to the do...

Andy Pettitte's February 18 press conference was an afternoon of softball questions from a friendly home-crowd press. Sample: "If you had to do it all over again, how would you deal with the issue of HGH [human growth hormone]?" Answer: "If I could do it over, I probably wouldn't do it."
Then came a fastball down the middle: "Have you heard from Major League Baseball, and do you have any idea that you might get suspended?" Pettitte took a half-swing: "I have not heard from Major League Baseball, and I don't think I'll be suspended."
So far, the media have taken that response with their bats on their shoulders.
It's a good question: Why hasn't Andy Pettitte heard from MLB, and why hasn't there been talk of a suspension? In his deposition to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Pettitte admitted that his father injected him with HGH in 2004. (And surely the most bizarre single piece of evidence to emerge during the entire hearing process is that Pettitte's dad stuck a needle in his son's ass.) In admitting this, Pettitte was in effect also admitting that he had lied to the Mitchell Commission—and thus to Major League Baseball—about the extent of his drug use.
Moreover, Pettitte was admitting to a crime. Though HGH wasn't banned from baseball under the Basic Agreement existing at the time—it wouldn't be added to the list of prohibited substances until 2005—it was and remains illegal unless prescribed for one of three rare diseases. Pettitte has clarified that he used HGH without a prescription. This means that he has admitted to the illegal use of HGH not once but twice, in 2002 and 2004. So where are MLB, the FDA, and the FBI?
It's easy to see who doesn't want to have this issue delved into: Pettitte, who stands to lose a one-year, $16 million contract with the Yankees, and the Yankees themselves. Having been snookered by Omar Minaya and the Mets in the Johan Santana deal, the pitching-hungry Yankees are desperate to hold onto Pettitte, the only capable left-hander on the staff. And there are other parties anxious for closure on the Pettitte story, namely commissioner Bud Selig and Major League Baseball.
As everyone noticed, the February 13 Congressional hearings quickly broke down along partisan lines, with the Republicans, almost to a man and woman, backing Clemens's credibility while the Democrats tried to undermine him. This is because those partisan lines had been drawn well before the hearings began. Selig, determined to preserve MLB's exemption from antitrust laws—and thus its status as a self-governing body—needed what appeared to be solid evidence that baseball was dealing with its drug problem. Congress, anxious to get away from questions about the war, immigration, and the recession, welcomed the distraction. Selig's genius was in putting a former Democratic senator, George Mitchell, in charge of the league's investigation. Senator Mitchell is a close friend of Representative Henry Waxman, chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, who was adamant, as anyone could see, about protecting Mitchell's reputation.
Unless it fingered a superstar, the Mitchell Report would be punchless, and it was obvious that it would take more than the word of Brian McNamee—a former cop turned steroid dealer—to nail Clemens. Or as ESPN's astute legal analyst Roger Cossack put it, in a summation largely ignored by the New York media (and, for that matter, by Cossack's colleagues at ESPN): "If you take out Andy Pettitte, is there any reason here you would believe McNamee any more than you would believe Clemens? McNamee has been shown to be a guy who lies for convenience. He lied when he first started talking to the Mitchell Commission . . . . Clemens has his own problems . . . . Obviously, his biggest problem is Andy Pettitte."
When the Mitchell Report revealed that McNamee said he injected Pettitte with HGH in 2002, Pettitte was reviled as a cheat and a liar. In a short time, he was transformed into a sympathetic figure (despite withholding information on further HGH use) for one reason: He was the tool that could be used to get Roger Clemens.
That Pettitte would not appear as a witness at the February 13 public hearing wasn't known until just before midnight on Monday, February 11. The next morning, most headlines read like ESPN.com's "Pettitte's Affidavit Supports McNamee's Version of Events." This, it seemed, was damning—irrefutable proof that Clemens had lied in his own deposition to the committee (not to mention to Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes). It was speculated that the reason that Pettitte would not be appearing in person was that he didn't want to hurt and embarrass his close friend and former teammate—an explanation highly favorable to Mitchell and Waxman, as well as to Pettitte's reputation.
Another version of Pettitte's reasons to skip the hearing appeared in numerous stories that also appeared on February 12: As ESPN's T.J. Quinn reported, sources had told him that "Pettitte was not a good witness when he appeared before Congressional lawyers during sworn deposition . . . . Pettitte often contradicted himself, so the committee agreed to his request not to appear before the committee." If that's true, one must wonder if Waxman wasn't relieved that Pettitte wouldn't be grilled in person about the vague and often contradictory statements in his deposition. If so, Roger Clemens, whether innocent or guilty, was denied the fundamental right of facing his accuser.
Predictably enough, those local sportswriters who have long since declared Clemens guilty haven't gone back to Pettitte's deposition, though it is now on the public record. If they did, they might agree with Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus, who, in a thoughtful February 14 piece on the BP website, found that "Pettitte's testimony is hardly the slam-dunk takedown of Clemens that it was made out to be. Pettitte, in many places, actually corroborates Clemens's version. . . . What is interesting is that the differences between Pettitte's statement and Clemens's statement are so easily reconciled."
Clemens probably won't, as many are speculating, be indicted for perjury. For one thing, his deposition, whatever lies it may contain, has nothing to do with a public-health issue, only whether he or Brian McNamee is telling the truth. The real issue, as Clemens pursues his defamation lawsuit against McNamee, is whether Pettitte will be called in to testify.
Clemens is an arrogant asshole with high-ranking Republican friends, and thus it's not surprising that he has no support in the New York media. Andy Pettitte, humble and earthy, is the guy who just made a mistake and has repented his sins—an older version of Opie Taylor caught smoking behind the barbershop. But this story is far from over, and before it is, Cossack's point may well be reversed: Clemens may turn out to be Andy Pettitte's biggest problem.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Coast Guard is urging boaters and beachgoers to exercise caution in and around the waters along the Northern and Central California coast due to forecasted strong swells on Sunday.
Exceptionally strong rip currents and large shore breaks are anticipated to impact all west and northwest facing beaches from Sonoma County to Monterey County. Strong rip currents are typically more frequent and stronger near jetties, inlets and piers. Swimmers are encouraged to swim near a lifeguard and reminded to use a buddy system.
"Boaters and beachgoers should be especially cautious on and near the water over the next several days," said Petty Officer 1st Class Jess LaRue, a Coast Guard Sector San Francisco Command Center watchstander. "We're ready to respond if boaters and beachgoers find themselves in distress."
The Coast Guard offers the following safety tips on the water:
* Stay Informed – Be aware of weather conditions and monitor the progress and strength of storms through local television, radio and internet. Be aware that weather conditions can change quickly. Check the current and expected weather and water conditions before heading out.
*When recreating on the water, whether boating or involved in sports such as kayaking, paddle boarding, or kite and wind surfing, always have a working VHF-FM radio. Mobile phones may not be reliable on the water, and the Coast Guard has the ability to determine your general location when you call with a marine-band radio, which can affect a quick response when people are in distress.
*Wear life jackets while on the water at all times.
*File a float plan with friends, family members or local marinas before heading out. A float plan should include contact information, the number of passengers, the vessel's destination and expected time of return.
*Do not boat under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, because it can impair your judgment, vision, balance and coordination. Boat motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray can accelerate impairment.
*Keep children informed of water safety. The Coast Guard encourages educating children on water safety. For more information on boating safety for kids, visit http://ift.tt/1jnhoL2
* Divers should evaluate their own physical condition as well as that of their equipment, never dive alone, and be willing to cancel their diving plans and choose another activity if ocean conditions are too rough.
*Dog owners are also reminded to protect their pets from rough waves and not to attempt to rescue their dog from a surf zone. It is important to remember to keep calm and allow the dogs to swim out on their own. For more information on how to protect your pets, please visit http://ift.tt/1mMtu32

Twitter unveiled a new look yesterday, setting itself the goal of becoming consistent across all platforms.
And by ubiquitous, Twitter means boosting its 100m active users – who currently tweet 250m times a day – to 7bn.
Speaking at LeWeb today, director of platform Ryan Sarver said the focus was on simplicity.
In a world where Facebook and Google are competing on features, we want to focus on being simple. It about being simple, consistent and fast."
One of the main new features for marketers within yesterday's redesign are customisable brand pages.
Brands needs to be able to express themselves more freely and promote the content they want so that users can engage with it."
However Jim Coleman, managing partner at We Are Social, said the new pages were unlikely to have a large impact on brand engagement.
First, and most importantly, users will only see these pages when they're first deciding to follow a brand – so we can expect follow conversion rates to go up slightly, but the new brand pages will make no difference to brands everyday interactions with their followers and customers as this still all happens in the stream."
Coleman also suggested that the brand pages were likely to be a premium feature for brands that spend money with advertising on Twitter, but the new function probably wouldn't be enough to tip the balance in terms of a decision on ad spend.
In regards to the overall redesign, Coleman said the new look offered substantial improvements to the user experience in its web and mobile interfaces.
Some of the features have been 'borrowed' from Chinese micro-blogging site Sina Weibo, which has almost as many users in China as Twitter does globally.
The intent is obviously to make Twitter more 'sticky'. Twitter has long been envious of Facebook's amazing average time on site figures, and this is their attempt to bridge that gap. These changes will definitely move the needle in the right direction, but the question is how much."
Twitter has also taken inspiration from Google+ with the introduction of its new 'Made for you' feature, which is much like the Sparks function on Google+ that aggregates a personalised collection of trending content from across the web.

When a vacationing family found and adopted a 3-week-old baby raccoon at Wexford Plantation on Hilton Head Island, S. Carolina...
When a vacationing family found and adopted a 3-week-old baby raccoon at Wexford Plantation on Hilton Head Island, S. Carolina earlier this spring, everyone they showed it to agreed it was adorable.
Friends and neighbors back home in Okatie, S.C. held and cuddled the precious little critter, hand-feeding it, touching its nose and tongue—even kissing it.
What could possibly go wrong?
Right, rabies.
When it was all over, more than 35 people and 20 pets were part of an extensive S. Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control investigation.
Of those exposed to the rabid animal, 24 received rabies vaccinations and follow-up prevention shots as a result of their affectionate actions toward the baby raccoon. The remaining 12 did not need treatment because they did not touch the animal or come in contact with its saliva, said DHEC spokeswoman Clair Boatwright.
"There was a lot of affectionate handling, kissing it and feeding it," Boatwright told the Island Packet newspaper. "Part of that is it was three weeks old, and they inserted fingers into the raccoon's mouth. Saliva is one way that rabies spreads."
In the end, the coon kissing cost the taxpayers of the state of South Carolina more than $40K.
According to the DHEC, the rabies vaccines and prevention shots cost about $1,000 per person, totaling $36,677.75. With investigation costs and personnel time, the ending tally was a whopping $43,028.50.
That's one costly coon, eh?
Obviously, there's an important lesson to be learned from the unfortunate occurrence.
Every year, state wildlife agencies send out press releases advising folks not to adopt young wild animals that appear to be abandoned or in need of care.
That's good advice.
Oh, and don't kiss them, either.

Between 1873 and 1935 the Red Star Line Shipping Company transported almost 3 million people from Antwerp to America and Canada. Today the buildings of the Red Star Line still exist. They're located in the neighborhood of 't Eilandje near the river Scheldt, from where the ships set off on their faraway transatlantic voyage. It remains a place of remembrance for the millions of emigrants who set out for a new life in the States and Canada via Antwerp.
These days, the historic sheds of the legendary shipping company with the red star in its flag house the Red Star Line Museum. This museum tells the story of the millions of Europeans who were courageous or desperate enough to leave their old life behind and go look for a better existence overseas. The former harbor sheds of the Red Star Line are the perfect place to make the stories of countless passengers palpable and visible. Their dreams and complaints are brought to life in this inspiring environment.

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., May 29 (UPI) -- Pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim announced Wednesday it had reached a $650 million settlement in state and federal cases in the U.S. regarding the blood thinner Pradaxa.
In a statement released by the company, senior vice president and general counsel of Boehringer Ingelheim USA Corporation, Desiree Ralls-Morrison, said that despite the settlement, "BI stands resolutely behind Pradaxa and believed from the outset that the plaintiffs' claims lacked merit."
"Notwithstanding our strong belief that we would prevail in these lawsuits, this settlement allows BI to avoid the distraction and uncertainty of lengthy litigation and focus on our mission of improving patients' lives," she continued.
Pradaxa was created to substitute warfarin to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
The settlement is expected to take care of most or all of the 4,000 claims against the company.
In May 2014 the Food and Drug Administration issued a Drug Safety Communication with the results of a Medicare study that compared Pradaxa and warfarin. The results confirmed that Pradaxa was associated with a lower risk of clot-related strokes, bleeding in the brain, and death compared to warfarin, but that it came with an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Ralls-Morrison said the settlement didn't change Pradaxa's effectiveness or its importance to patients and added that BI "properly advised doctors and patients about its benefits and safety, working closely with FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulators to ensure doctors and patients had the information they needed."

After much hard work, the animated short Aria For a Cow is to be presented on September 6th in Los Angeles. The short which is based off of a "previously unreleased song by the Oscar-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken," brings to life a diva cow named Aria.
Aria is just not your average cow. She is known for her singing and dancing talents.
When a callow young farmer shows himself to be completely uninterested in the sensitive art of milking cows, a bovine diva named Aria and her singing/dancing back up bulls belt out a tune demanding respect for more than just dairy products. Aria and her friends take us through a fast-paced musical journey, which ends with our young farmer learning to treat all life with love and respect.
The animated work will be presented at the LA Shorts Fest in downtown Los Angeles. Though the short is only seven minutes long, audiences are bound to be entertained. So far, the short has made its rounds at the San Francisco International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Short Fest and Anima Mundi in Sāo Paulo, Brazil, each giving the short a positive review.
The short was directed and written by Disney veteran, Dan Lund. He is also known for his work in films such as The Lion King, Mulan, Tarzan and much more.

The 2017 Jimmy V Classic featured two games: #4 Villanova vs. #12 Gonzaga and Syracuse vs. UConn. Here's the recap below.
Villanova vs. Gonzaga
The first game of the Jimmy V Classic featured a battle between #4 Villanova and #12 Gonzaga. Villanova proved they're legit and defeated the Zags 88-72 in the first meeting between the two schools.
Mikal Bridges led a balanced attack for the Wildcats with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Phil Booth added 20 points, Jalen Brunson had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Omari Spellman added a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
Zach Norvell Jr. led wthe way for Gonzaga with 22 points and 4 rebounds, while Josh Perkins added 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Jacob Larsen finished with 10 points and 5 rebounds off the bench in the losing effort.
With the win, Villanova improved to 9-0 on the season and picked up its first win over a ranked opponent. The Wildcats look like a team that is poised to run the table in their conference and make a deep run in March. Gonzaga fell to 7-2, but has only lost to teams that have been ranked in the top 10.
Villanova will host LaSalle on Sunday, December 10 at 1pm, while Gonzaga will travel to Seattle to take on former Syracuse Assistant Coach Mike Hopkins and the Washington Huskies Sunday, December 10 at 8pm.
Syracuse vs. UConn
Syracuse defeated former Big East Rival UConn Tuesday night, 72-63, in the night cap of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City. With the win, Syracuse improved to 9-7 over the Huskies in games played at the Mecca.
Syracuse raced out of the gates behind stellar starts from freshmen Matthew Moyer and Oshae Brissett. The Orange built their lead up to 37-20 with three minutes left in the first half before UConn cut their lead to 11 at the break. The Orange withstood the Huskies attempt to comeback in the second half and pulled out a win in a sloppy game between the two former conference foes.
The Syracuse defense was suffocating all night. UConn struggled to get anything going against the 2-3 zone. The Orange forced the Huskies into 17 turnovers, grabbing 11 steals. Tyus Battle finished with a career high 5 steals in the win. The front line of the zone combined for 4 blocks on the night as well.
Offensively, the Orange were led by Battle who scored 22 points and dished out 3 assists. Moyer turned in a career performance with 18 points, 8 rebounds and electrified the crowd at MSG with two thunderous put-back dunks. Brissett recorded his fourth double-double in his first four games in Orange finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Frank Howard struggled. The junior point guard scored 5 points on 1-of-10 shooting, distributed 5 assists, and turned the ball over 9 times. Howard will need to get better at handling a full court press and needs to improve in assisting the Orange into its offense when he can't find his own shot.
Jalen Adams led the way for the Huskies with 22 points.
In the absence of Geno Thorpe, who left the team last week, the Orange look to be 7-deep. Howard and Battle will seemingly get all the minutes at the guard positions, as Battle played all 40 minutes for the second straight game and freshman Howard Washington played just one minute after Howard committed a bad turnover in the first half.
Syracuse improved to 7-1 on the season, while UConn fell to 6-3. The Orange will host Colgate on Saturday, December 9 in the Carrier Dome. Tip-off is set for 2pm. The Huskies will host Coppin State at Gampel Pavilion on Campus in Storrs, Connecticut at the same time.

Have you guys ever heard of the Happy Holi Festival? I hadn't either until today. I opened up my canva app to make a graphic for social media and there it was, tons of images full of bright colors and the Holi Festival. Ps, if you don't already use Canva, you're missing out. It's a free graphic template app/ website and it's amazing! If you're not already using it, you should get on it. I use it to create almost all of my graphics for social media. The Holi Festival is a Hindu spring festival known as the "festival of colors." There are so many incredible things that this festival signifies, here are a few.
-Victory of good over evil
-The arrival of Spring & the end of Winter
-A festive day to meet others
-To play & laugh
-Forget & forgive
-Repair broken relationships
-A thanksgiving for a good harvest
I mean, how incredible does this sound?! And why the heck don't we have any festivals like this in the United States to signify the same things? We need to get on it. Every single photo shows how much joy and happiness this festival is for them. It kind of reminds me of a Color run with how vibrant the colors are. What an incredible show of faith and the celebration of the beginning of something bright and new to come. I wish we spent more time in our lives celebrating joy and the changing of seasons and the colors that they bring. As we head into Spring I hope that we can live more in color and joy. I know some of you may be thinking, why would a Christian be talking about a festival in India? Well, I believe that we could all use a little more joy in our lives. So why not? I have so many ambitions in life to travel and experience things like this festival. What are you doing to bring your life more joy?
Maybe this mug can bring you joy! Check it out here!

I tried importing comments to Disqus and Blogger just doesn't play nice. I've long hated Blogger's comment section, it's strange nesting of replies, the fact that it's java script and won't allow direct replies on mobile devices and the inability to allow hot links in comments. Importing to Disqus kept failing, so, impatient as I am, I've decided to move back to WordPress.
I will keep this blog up for posterity, but the posts and comments seem to have imported over to the new site in mere minutes with no problems at all. Please update your blogrolls and rss feeds and tell your friends!
I am proud to present:
West Coast Atheist, by Tkmlac
Hope to see you all there!
Atheist Morality
The question of morality does not have to be answered by religion, despite the contentions by theists that every law must have a "law giver." In this blog I will explain why this is not true, periodically post interesting moral questions and show ways in which morality can be taught without the presence of a divine creator.
I've Moved!
Atheist Morality is now West Coast Atheist at Wordpress. Stop on by and feel free to comment over there!
04 April, 2013
I've decided I'm going to attempt to convert the comment section to Disqus. I don't know what results I'll get when I try to import all the comments into the Disqus system. Could be bad, could be good. I can only wait and see and hope that all our comments and replies remain intact. If not, I'll go from there and figure out what to do next. Here goes.

Area novelist earns fellowship
Ron Rash recognized for literary works
A Cleveland County native has been named a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for 2017.
Poet and novelist Ron Rash holds the John and Dorothy Parris Distinguished Professorship in Appalachian Cultural Studies at Western Carolina University.
He is now been included in the group of 173 scholars, artists and scientists from the U.S. and Canada selected for the fellowships by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
The fellowships are awarded "on the basis of prior achievement and exceptional promise," the foundation said in announcing the recipients. Honorees were chosen from a group of almost 3,000 applicants in the organization's 93rd competition.
"It's exciting to name 173 new Guggenheim Fellows," said Edward Hirsch, president of the foundation. "These artists and writers, scholars and scientists, represent the best of the best. Each year since 1925, the Guggenheim Foundation has bet everything on the individual, and we're thrilled to continue to do so with this wonderfully talented and diverse group. It's an honor to be able to support these individuals to do the work they were meant to do."
Each of the 2017 recipients will receive a $50,000 award to support his or her work.
"It truly is an honor for me to be chosen for this award, especially because many writers whom I admire have received this award in the past," said Rash, a resident of Cullowhee. "I am humbled to find myself mentioned alongside the likes of Cormac McCarthy, Margaret Atwood and Raymond Carver."
Rash came to WCU in 2003 to join the Department of English as the university's first Parris Distinguished Professor. His latest novel, "The Risen," hit bookstores last September. He is author of six other novels, including The New York Times bestseller "Serena," and numerous collections of short stories and poetry.
Richard Starnes, dean of WCU's College of Arts and Sciences, said the awarding of a fellowship by the Guggenheim Foundation to Rash provides another compelling piece of evidence of the author's stature on the national and international literary scene.
"Ron Rash is the defining voice in Appalachian literature today, but he is so much more," Starnes said. "In the tradition of Eudora Welty and William Faulkner, Ron uses his native region to ask profound questions about the complexities of the human heart, man's relationship with nature, and sense of place. In this way, his work speaks to people everywhere with power and grace."
The fellowship is the latest in an ever-expanding roster of honors for the native of Boiling Springs. A teacher of poetry, literature and creative writing at WCU, Rash has received an NEA Poetry Fellowship, the Sherwood Anderson Prize, the Novella Festival Novel Award and the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and is twice winner of O. Henry awards. His 2015 "Above the Waterfall" was the Prince of Tides Literary Prize Winner in the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance's 2016 Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize competition.
