Professional honey producers say folks should stop wasting their hard earned money on costly how to start beekeeping classes in Andrew Iowa because they can get affordable training through online information plus ebooks which cost far less than beekeeping classes.
Beekeeping, like every other action, has its dos and don'ts. Beginning beekeeping typically involves the equipment that is needed and purchasing bees. Yet, some individuals who are beginning this hobby generally make several mistakes. It's alright to make mistakes, and also this article can help new beekeepers prevent making exactly the same mistakes others have before.
Here are three errors which every beekeeper should avert:
1. Not knowing the best time to start avocation or a beekeeping business can end up being a catastrophe. It can lead to some loss of cash and your bees. Since most bees expire during the wintertime winter is the worst possible time to start. This would force a beekeeper to buy a brand new batch of bees, which would be more expensive cash. Fall is another lousy time since you will find fewer blooms, so a smaller number of honey picked, to begin beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which is the time of the year where there are loads of flowers that are blooming.

2. Buying used equipment and old books. This really is a standard mistake made by many beginning beekeepers. It is clear that one would desire to cut costs as much as possible, but purchasing used equipment and old beekeeping novels is not a great thought. First, used equipment can come with "inherited" difficulties. The extractor factory outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife might not be sharp enough to uncap all the wax. This would surely impact the quality of one's honey, which will ben't an ideal situation especially if a beekeeper is planning to start a honey-selling business. Second, outdated information can be provided by old books on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the traditional approach when there are better and more rapid methods fabrication honey and to maintain beehives.
3. Refraining from purchasing protective equipment. Think about this. If one doesn't wear protective equipment when handling the hives and accumulating the honeycombs, he/she'll come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers. Protective equipment is pricey, yes, but it will help beekeepers avoid having to pay medical bills from all the bee stings.
These three mistakes have been presented here to help future beekeepers avoid them. Before getting started beekeeping, it is best to consult a professional beekeeper. If buying a certain item looks overly high-priced, always consider the ending price ( in case that they do not buy this thing now, will it cost them more later on?). In the end, it's up to the individual to decide the best strategy.

Nice wall!~ T background is simple but it's also good~ ^^
Wslasher Oct 02, 2007
This is very nice! I love how you did the vector & turned it in2 a wall.
BTW: ringo's left hand is somewhat erased...
rika23 Oct 03, 2007
shiro :] the wall looking good~ but there part of the cloud that you smudge a bit too much ^^"
zaira Oct 03, 2007
love it! its really rare to have another Air Gear wall! :D
i love the vector! the cool texture + the nice outlines + the cleanliness of the vector! XD
nice bg too though i guess as rika23-sama said the clouds is smudge a bit too much ^_^'
maybe you can adjust that a little + the birds...m... the birds....i guess you can have at least 2 birds there then its ok! ;) but overall love the vector's outlines and its texture! XD + fav!
gaara-no-shukaku Oct 04, 2007
Nice vector, and the painting is good as well. Well, I'm not sure about your choice of texture, cause it kinda doesn't fit for the vector+painting. Maybe use a finer texture?
You can take the text actually, cause it just disturbing the cleanliness of the painting. But it's just a matter of preference. :\
Overall, good job!
JCzala Oct 04, 2007
The vector work is good. I like the texture too. The texture adds definition to your wall, making it look like a painting. Everything is very neat and clean, including the outlines. The background is very good too. The simplicity here is beauty. I just don't find the birds too realistic.
I see you've removed Ringo's glasses. She looks a lot prettier without the glasses. Good choice of scan for vectoring. You've done well.
alterlier Oct 06, 2007
well I guess the texture choice it's at the end a matter of taste cause I actually like it with this one, makes stronger the soft effect of the painted clouds, but gaara it's right about the text, for me it's just ugly, random and unnecessary here, the rest for me looks pretty clean.
moonescape Oct 06, 2007
Wow! I'm surprised how this one turned out because you vectored it and made the colours of the characters have a different tone unlike the scan. Now the vector suits better with the background of the sky more than before. :o I just love the combination here and the feeling a flying yourself. XD
**good** highlight and will add it later to the group when I've stopped being lazy. OD

The souskai is a local dish which is similar to a salad, as it contains green fruits, which are at first grated and then macerated in lemon juice and spices like salt and a hot kind of pepper. Other salads combine the sweet taste of some fruits, like bananas and avocado with the various kinds of fish, like cod and shrimp, plus the hot spices.

first published on November 19, 2015 by Will
In a single sortie of airstrikes, U.S. warplanes destroyed 116 ISIS-controlled fuel trucks near Abu Kamal, Syria, on Nov. 15, 2015 as part of the coalition's Operation Tidal Wave II, which is an effort to slow the Islamic State's generation of revenue.
The strikes were carried about by two AC-130 gunships and four A-10 "Warthogs." The Warthogs expended at least twenty-four 500-pound bombs, and gnarly strafing runs with the 30mm gatling guns can be seen in the video as well.
Hours before the devastating strikes, fighter jets dropped leaflets onto the cluster of tanker trucks, warning the drivers to abandon their vehicles or be destroyed. Many of the truck drivers are civilians rather than hardline jihadists, but working for the world's number one bad guy comes with its drawbacks.
Even after dealing this blow to the ISIS bank roll, the U.S. is drawing criticism for not targeting the Islamic State oil trade sooner. The U.S. responded by saying that they refrained from hitting the tankers earlier because of the heightened risk of civilian casualties.
The strikes are said to have been planned for some time, and are not a response to the deadly Paris terror attacks. However, a recent press release by Russian President Putin, in which he insinuated that several nations, including G20 members, were complicit in the illegal oil trade, may have been the catalyst to finally get the West to target the tankers.
"I've shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products," Putin said.
"The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon," Putin said.
The name "Operation Tidal Wave II" is a throwback to a WWII bombing operation in which the U.S. bombed an Axis oil refinery in Romania for similar reasons. Besides targeting tanker trucks, Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve has also recently targeted other ISIS-controlled oil facilities in Syria.

EPA Science Advisory Board Input
As part of EPA's June 5-6 meeting of the Chartered Science Advisory Board (SAB), we submitted both oral and written input on several issues, including the Clean Water Rule, power-sector emissions of air toxics, vehicle emissions standards, and the Science Transparency Rule.
EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers are proposing to replace the 2015 Clean Water Rule with a new rule that would harm many waterways by removing critical federal protections. In our letter, we urge the SAB to consider the full benefits of wetlands and review the errors in the agencies' economic analysis in the new rule. We submitted to the SAB our previously filed comments as well as an expert report by Peter Howard and Jeffrey Shrader.
To aid in SAB's review of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Reconsideration, we provided our previously filed comments as well as a relevant Minnesota Law Review article by Richard Revesz and Kimberly Castle. These documents explain how EPA, in proposing to withdraw a prior finding that it is "appropriate and necessary" to regulate power-sector emissions of mercury and other "air toxics" under the Clean Air Act, has failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its change of course.
We also addressed the Trump administration's proposal to dramatically weaken federal emissions standards for cars and light trucks. Federal emissions standards have been enormously successful at reducing greenhouse gas pollution and lowering fuel costs for consumers. Our letter to the SAB on this topic attaches our previously filed comments, which describe the flaws in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's models that support the proposal.
Policy Integrity legal fellow Madison Condon attended the meeting to present oral comments on the Science Transparency Rule, which would bar regulators from relying on scientific studies that fail to meet proposed data availability standards. In practice, this rule will impede informed rule-makings and make it harder to design beneficial regulatory action.

While most jobs do adhere to the conventional nine-to-five routine, there are some that require a great deal more gusto to handle. Being on standby consistently at a 24/7 job can be physically and mentally draining, but it is survivable. Here are some tips to keep your sanity levels in check:
- Look within
Find out if you are on call by choice, or because it is truly required by the company. Being a perfectionist and maintaining a good professional reputation have its perks. However, if you feel that a burnout is imminent, it may be time to loosen up.
- Prioritise
Working smart can help you achieve more things over a shorter period of time. Knowing how you are evaluated and what you need to tackle first to achieve your organisation's objectives can help you better allocate your time and energy.
- Stay focused
The workload may feel never-ending because of the distractions that you face. Working on multiple projects at a time can be unproductive. Instead, close irrelevant tabs on your browser and stay away from social media until what needs to be done gets done.
- Set boundaries
While being ever-ready can be indicative of vigilance, your employer might misinterpret that as a green light to contact you at any or all times. Consider muting your work phone after hours and stop yourself from checking your work e-mail when you're at home. Know what is urgent, and what is not. Communicate your limitations and boundaries slowly, one at a time.
- Take care of your health
While seemingly easy, taking care of your body does take a fair bit of effort. If you are passing on sleep and skipping meals in an attempt to clear or get a head start on work, then you need to stop and do a 180. Being busy may be a convenient excuse to ignore the state of your health, but it will definitely come around to bite you in the rear end sooner or later.
Knowing when to slow down, pause, and take a breather is important. Even if your job is a fast-paced one, you owe it to yourself to find a way to navigate it without compromising your physical and mental health. It's a tightrope walk to be sure, so make sure that you maintain a healthy balance!

Since Aug. 12, 2017, Marcus Martin has lost anonymity, a close friend and, at times, his coping skills.
Mr. Martin's red-and-white footwear will be more familiar to many than his name. He is the subject of a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, taken by Ryan M. Kelly, in Charlottesville, Va., during the Unite the Right rally, which was organized by white nationalists protesting the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. In the photo, Mr. Martin is midair, spread-eagle with his back parallel to the hot Virginia asphalt, after being struck by a Dodge Charger driven by James Alex Fields, who would later be charged with second-degree murder.
Marissa Blair, 28, was inches away when the photo was taken, narrowly escaping the car barreling toward them. In a moment of clarity amid chaos, Mr. Martin, 27, pushed her out of the way to take the brunt of the collision himself. The impact broke his ankle and shattered his lower leg. "Later he was like, 'You know I saved your life, right?'" Ms. Blair said.
To hear him tell it, she had already saved his.
Before Mr. Martin found himself in the news for being a victim and a hero on what he still calls "that horrific day," his name had made the rounds in a series of less favorable news stories. In 2013, he was sentenced to a five-year prison term for his role in an armed robbery near his home in Shipman, Va. He was released in 2016.
"I made a lot of bad choices when I was young," he said. "I made my life harder than it should have been."
Ms. Blair's youth, spent with her parents and three brothers over the bridge from Shipman in Amherst, also in Nelson County, Va., was drama free by comparison. But their paths had intersected. Ms. Blair's mother, Soronya Hudson, and Mr. Martin's mother, Kimberly Martin, were schoolmates in Nelson County, graduating in the same class in 1982. And Ms. Hudson and Mr. Martin's uncle, Timmy Martin, were friends as children.
But though Mr. Martin remembers seeing Ms. Blair around her neighborhood on childhood visits to a friend who lived next door, Ms. Blair didn't notice Mr. Martin until around 2011, when she was finishing college at James Madison University.
"I'm sure I had seen him in passing," she said. "His sister and I graduated high school the same year," in 2007. "But I remember one day I went over to somebody's house, and he was there, and I thought he was so handsome. I went home and told my mother I met this gorgeous man."
The gorgeous man would show up again that year when her family threw her a graduation party. "Marcus's uncle was the D.J., and Marcus came with him. We locked eyes, but we were both with somebody else," she said. They would lock eyes a second time, not long before Mr. Martin's arrest, at a mutual friend's house in Charlottesville. He was putting together a crib for his newborn daughter, Izabella, now 5.
"I was like, 'Oh, he's got a kid,'" she said. "I was still in a relationship and he had just gotten out of one. So it wasn't like we were going to run off together. But there was definitely something there." Next she heard, though, he was behind bars. "There was the usual small-town talk about what had happened," she said.
She didn't pay attention. By then, she was busy mapping out a career. In 2011, Ms. Blair enrolled at Charlotte School of Law. By the time Mr. Martin was released from prison, she had earned her J.D. When she finally laid eyes on him again, at a Charlottesville mall University of Virginia students call "the Corner," their few but intense encounters had stopped taking up space in her daydreams.
"And then it all went down at Rapture," Mr. Martin said, referring to a Charlottesville nightclub. In October 2016, Ms. Blair and Mr. Martin were single and separately struggling — Ms. Blair with saving money to move out of a house in Amherst she was sharing with her younger brother, Cameron, and Mr. Martin with the baggage that comes with a criminal record. Both were at the club one night looking for a distraction.
"I saw her and I was just like, 'There's the pretty lady again,'" Mr. Martin said. "Next thing I know I'm sitting on a bar stool, and I turn around, and she's there. Marissa has these eyes that are sometimes hazel, sometimes green. She looked at me and I wanted to tell her, 'Stop.' Because those eyes, they do something to you."
He walked her to her car that night, hopeful but unsure she would want to see him again. "I knew she knew I had been incarcerated," he said. "I wasn't sure she would want to talk to me anymore."
Soon enough, though, they were flirting on social media. His doubts were fully dissolved when Ms. Blair, then a paralegal at Miller Law Group in Charlottesville, made a spur-of-the-moment visit to Mr. Martin, who at the time was working as a houseman at the Cavalier Inn.
"It just seemed really natural." Ms. Blair said. "Nothing was forced." Their first official date came days later, when Mr. Martin took Ms. Blair to a University of Virginia football game. Friends had reservations about her seeing a felon, but she didn't care.
"He had been rehabilitated," she said. "He didn't seem like a bad guy at all."
Within the space of a handful of outings, Ms. Blair and Mr. Martin were in an all-consuming kind of love.
"I didn't ever want to be away from her," Mr. Martin said. "My life with Marissa was just so much easier than it had been."
His love for Ms. Blair was amplified by the love he was starting to feel from her family: Garnell O'Gene Blair Jr., Ms. Blair's father, was an early supporter of their relationship, and fast became a father figure to Mr. Martin, who doesn't know his own father. And her mother, Ms. Hudson, was just as supportive. "People make mistakes," she said. "I knew Marcus was a good person. Whenever Marissa was around him, she was glowing."
By winter, Mr. Martin felt more grounded than ever before in his life. He moved into the house Ms. Blair and her brother were sharing.
"It was all sort of like, let the good times roll," Ms. Blair said. "We had such a great time together." They hiked local spots; they stayed home, raiding a cabinet she kept stocked with Little Debbie snacks, candy bars and Oreos to satisfy Mr. Martin's after-dinner sweet tooth.
By the end of 2016, Ms. Blair was sure Mr. Martin was going to propose.
But Mr. Martin, who wanted to propose, was having trouble gathering his courage. "I kept thinking, 'What if I ask her and she says no? I'll feel like a fool,'" he said. On Jan. 31, 2017, he showed up, sweaty, at Miller Law Group with a twinkling diamond ring he bought for her at a Kay Jewelers. As proposals go, there have been smoother.
"I'll never forget the way he was acting," Ms. Blair said. "He was so nervous, he was sweating bullets." As Mr. Martin got down on one knee, he didn't notice a colleague of Ms. Blair's, standing by the door waiting for a legal file.
Mr. Martin let his rehearsed words rip: "He was like, 'You know I love you, right? You are everything to me. I don't want to go another day calling you my girlfriend. Will you marry me?'"
Ms. Blair took a deep breath. "I made him step outside my office and do it all over again," she said. This time without her colleague in the doorway. Mr. Martin's second attempt was perfect, and she immediately said yes.
Mr. Martin had his reasons for proposing at the office. They included Courtney Commander and Heather Heyer, who also worked at the firm and were among the couple's closest friends. Several months after the foursome celebrated Mr. Martin and Ms. Blair's engagement, Ms. Commander, the most politically active of the group, would recruit the couple and Ms. Heyer to join her as counterprotesters at the Aug. 12 rally.
"Everybody felt strongly about what was going on," said Ms. Commander. "Marissa and Marcus said they wanted to be there, but I wasn't sure they would come." Mr. Martin, still on parole and working a new job as a landscaper, told her he wanted to steer clear of trouble. She knew Ms. Blair wouldn't come without him. But when Ms. Commander attended a July 8 march of the Ku Klux Klan in Charlottesville and sent Ms. Blair, Mr. Martin and Ms. Heyer video of the awful goings-on, they were inspired to join her in her next counterprotest.
Ms. Blair and Mr. Martin remember the early part of the rally on that Saturday afternoon as peaceful and almost enjoyable. Until 1:41 p.m. The violence, and Mr. Martin's protective shove, "came out of nowhere," Ms. Blair said. Just after the melee, she was unable to find Mr. Martin amid the terrified crowd. Cellphone video captured her frantic reaction. "Marcus!" she screams, over and over.
If the minutes before she found Mr. Martin bloodied and unable to walk were painful, the minutes afterward would deliver fresh agony. Mr. Martin and Ms. Blair were at the hospital when they learned that, while Ms. Commander had managed to escape the raging car, Ms. Heyer, 32, died.
"I sank to my knees," Ms. Blair recalled when she heard the news.
In a tidier world, the aftermath of Aug. 12 would have found Mr. Martin strengthened by the praise his act of valor won him. In the real one, it temporarily cost him his landscaping income (a GoFundMe account raised about $61,000 to help with his health expenses). It also cost the hard-won feelings of safety and security he had cultivated in his relationship with Ms. Blair.
"You'd think it would have brought us closer together as a couple, and it some ways it did," Ms. Blair said. "But before Aug. 12, Marcus and I had had one argument. After Aug. 12 we started having six, seven, eight arguments. It wasn't like us." The arguments were dumb, they acknowledged. "Like, if she ate the last cookie and left an empty box, I would just blow up," Mr. Martin said. "And I would cry," Ms. Blair added.
For months, they both visited therapists. "It helped," Mr. Martin said. "Marissa and I realized life is too short for little petty arguments."
On the afternoon of May 12, on the sprawling lawn of Walden Hall, an estate in Reva, Va., Mr. Martin and Ms. Blair were married under blue skies before 150 friends and family. Ms. Blair's seven attendants included her brother Adrian Lombre. Her brother Dasan Hunt walked her down the grassy aisle to an altar draped in purple wisteria. The bridesmaids, including her maid of honor, Ms. Commander, wore long dresses in shades of lavender. Mr. Martin's five groomsmen and best woman, Whitley Jones, wore dark suits with purple accents. The color scheme was in honor of Ms. Heyer's favorite color.
The recording artist Major began the ceremony by singing "Why I Love You" as Ms. Blair walked toward her groom.
"I wanted to be here because their story gripped my heart," Major said. "When I heard that they wanted to walk down the aisle to my song, I got on a plane." Ms. Moore, the wedding planner, had held onto Major's contact information after meeting him at a Virginia wedding she orchestrated years earlier. She arranged for the surprise.
Before the officiant, the Rev. Bill Malbon, a Baptist minister from Richmond, began his short ceremony, Susan Bro, a guest and the mother of Ms. Heyer, was called to the altar to release a handful of butterflies. Several flew away, but one nestled into the folds of Ms. Blair's dress and stayed.
"We named that one Heather," Ms. Bro said.

text: Ava Devine is feeling sultry and delectable and in the mood for some fun – and first off, she wants you to see her deep throating abilities. That huge dildo is a struggle to get her mouth around and down her throat but she can't wait to show off how well it fits her juicy pussy too! This horny MILF is beyond belief. The things her cunt stretches for is insanely hot!


text:
"From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it" – is what I tell my parents when they enter my second year uni flat and see the ever-growing mould.
I can't believe I am finishing my second year at university in a few weeks time, and although my course knowledge is very limited, my naive little fresher brain has expanded over the last two years, and I've developed skills in weekly complaint texts to the landlord, how to make a £10 food shop last a week and how to show up to lectures hungover. Nine-grand well spent?
- Frenemies?
Ok, this one is a little extreme as I live with my two best mates, and am genuinely fearing living without them so much in my final year that I may make a 4-hour commute to uni (dead serious, trying to persuade my mum as we speak!) But, that being said, when you live with your friends, socialise, go to the gym and uni, you will get on top of each other. Whether that's because someone moved your milk out of the side shelf in the fridge and now its spilled in your drawer, or because your crap internet can't load the arsenal game because someone is trying to stream High School Musical 2 (why bother, we all know number one is the best). You'll find little things that actually DRIVE YOU INSANE. For instance, my flatmates abilities to leave an empty toilet roll on the side and not put it into the bin two inches away, or the bikini that has sat on the radiator for four weeks in the kitchen and not been moved, and if it is, I'd be equally as mad because it's part of the furniture and the kitchen won't be the same without it. Grrr. But honestly, if that's the worse I have to live with them I'm very very lucky, and my advice would be to mention the issues early on, as they'll only grind your gears more with time!
2. Starvation?
Extreme again? Maybe, but I've lost a stone since January as all I eat at uni is the same banana for breakfast, avocado on toast for lunch, half an Easter egg (I brought like 10 when they were 75p in Tesco oops) and pasta with tomato sauce for dinner. Going home and seeing fruit is honestly a feeling that I can only compare to Jesus reappearing (and I'm Jewish). I haven't eaten anything other than beige and my sweet sweet mother is going to carve a platter of vibrant pineapple, grapes and strawberries to which I can then place my bowl into a DISHWASHER is a luxury I will now never take for granted. It's one way to get that summer bod though?
3. Landlord
At this point my landlord might as well just bloody live with us. There was a point in the year where we were having three house viewings a week. At first, I started off cleaning my room, polishing my shelves, leaving highlighted textbooks open on my desk to create the illusion of work. By week four, dirty underwear and a half a head of hair pulled out from the shower drain appeared. My advice for anyone looking for a flat is to go with a nice landlord, because although ours is my most texted contact on my phone, there was a week where my friend broke our fridge at pres, and we didn't have one for a week, and John the landlord, god bless his soul, took back my cheese to his house to freeze for me. And if you're a uni student who rations cheese because it's the same price as gold dust, you'll understand this beautiful blessing.
4. Groupwork
As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, yet someone who looks down at her cue cards the whole presentation, as if in some intense wink murder game, presentations are something I dread. Yeah I get the importance, and "you can't do marketing if you can't market yourself" blah blah blah but putting us into groups where people are writing their cue cards 10 minutes before our slot, has given me wrinkles. Seriously should have spent the £27k on botox.
5. Night-life
At the start of the year I was in my prime, going out every week, new outfit, +3 eyeshadow shades, first name terms with the guy in KFC and now, since January I've been out once, had to guess all the lyrics to the 'cool' floor, and can't handle more than two shots of vodka. That's what happens now I'm in my 20s! But seriously, I'd take a movie and game night in, over a hangover any day of the week!
Despite all, it goes without saying that uni really is the best experience of your life. Yeah I'm paying a disgusting amount for four hours of lectures a week and going in for some pre-loaded powerpoint slides, but at the end of the day, to do what I want to do I need a university degree. Regardless of the academic side, the memories created at uni are something so personal (mainly because anyone in normal living conditions would be repulsed), but there's something special about watching Naked Attraction as a flat, having crying breakdowns in each others rooms, and reviewing the latest dick pic at pres. Second year, you've truly been an experience ❤
Always got your back,

The first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking about buying upholstered furniture is usually what color to pick. It's usually the single biggest factor in fabric selection. But while color is important, other factors are equally important.
The importance of fabric durability varies depending on the piece of furniture, which room it is used in and personal aspects of the family, such as if children and pets live in the house.
Your fabric selection should reflect those issues.
Choose a fabric that complements both the piece of furniture and the interior decor of your house.
Color of the fabric is very often the first choice you make when buying furniture, and it has significant impact on your decor, especially if the furniture piece is a large sofa that will dominate the room.
There are some other factors that you should consider before you make a selection. These have to do with the environment in which you'll be placing your couch. Does your room get a lot of sun or is there any dampness? Are there pets who share the furniture with you? Does anyone suffer from allergies?

Why did my date change on eBenefits
Primary tabs
I notice that my compleation date changes, why?
The date given on eBenefits is just an estimate. It will often change and is subject to go back and forth between steps, even back to gathering evidence. The claims process is very complex and often will not follow a strict timeline, even though you are given one.

My voice again
Written on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 by Jessica
My grandma thought she had the wrong cell phone number because she thought I sounded like a man.
As Sherri pointed out, I should look at the bright side: at least people don't mistake my voice for a child's. Plus, no one ever mistakes me for a man in person. That would be infinitely worse.

The top 8 after Saturday's Squad 20 will receive a first-round bye for Sunday's finals. Craig Nidiffer, United States, continued to lead the field of 209 players from 26 countries with 1467 and an average of 244.50.
Andersson had games of 256, 236, 181, 192, 210 and 231 for 1306, an average of 217.67, and added 48 pins women's handicap to jump into third place with 1354. Andersson, who won the women's ranking in last week's German Open, teamed with Jenny Wegner to overtake second place in Doubles with 2653.
The Swedish youth national team members, winner of the silver medal in the four-player Team event at the World Youth Championships in Hong Kong in August, only trail to Americans Craig Nidiffer & JR Raymond (left, r-l), who lead the competition with 2769.
Moor (left with Richard Teece), who won a record 14th European Bowling Tour title in the Chandra Open two weeks ago, finished his series with 257 and 247 to move into sixth place with 1333.
Another two players in Squad 12 surpassed the 1300-mark. Sandra Gongora (right), a member of the Mexican national team which bowls in the Vienna Open to prepare for the XXII Central American and Caribbean Games Nov. 14-30 in Veracruz, Mexico, totaled 1312 including handicap to leap into 12th place.
Tony Ranta (left with Jesse Kallio, left) of Finland used a 280 game for 1300, good for 20th place. Wegner missed the 1300 by one pin to sit in 21st place with 1299.
Former World champion and now coach of the Swedish youth national team, Robert Andersson (right), slipped to 51st and last place to make the qualifying cut with 1237 and an average of 206.17.
Qualifying continues on Friday, October 3, with Squads 13-18 starting at 9 a.m., 1, 5 and 9 p.m. Central European Summer Time (CEST).
The singles champion will walk away with the 7.000 € top prize, the runner-up earns 5.000 and the third and fourth-place finishers get 3.500 and 2.500, respectively. The winners of the doubles event will split 1.600 €.
The VO14 will be contested on the 38 feet 38 feet lane conditioning pattern with 24.605 mL volume oil total. Download the LaneMap™ Guide to get all information on Plus Bowling.
For the 12th consecutive Bowlingdigital will cover the 12th Columbia 300 Vienna Open live from Plus Bowling in Vienna commencing Thursday, Oct. 2 all the way through to the stepladder finals on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 5.
Qualifying of the Vienna Open is traditionally contested as a Doubles tournament with separate prize money. Each duo must roll at least one six-game block. Unlimited re-entries – with the same partner or with different partners – are possible, but each player can only cash once with the same partner.
Due to a partnership agreement between the organizers of the Columbia 300 Vienna Open, the Track Dream-Bowl Palace Open in Munich, Germany, and the Brunswick Etna Open in Catania, Italy, every squad winner in the Vienna Open (the player with the highest six-game total including handicap) receives a free re-entry into the 2015 Track Open. The best Austrian player in qualifying earns a free entry and a free re-entry into the Etna Open 2015, while the second-best Austrian bowlers gets a free re-entry.
Qualifying runs from Monday, Sept. 29 through Saturday, Oct. 4 with the final Squad 20 scheduled to start at 8 p.m. local time (CEST). Qualifying concludes with the one-game Desperado Squad slated for 11.30 p.m. Women receive 8 pins handicap each game, an equality handicap provided to women in every event on the European Bowling Tour.
Total 64 players will qualify for the Vienna Open finals on Sunday, Oct. 5:
- the top 51 players from the overall qualifying standings (Squads 1-20)
- the highest-positioned player from each of the first nine squads, who is not among the top 51 (total 9 players)
- and the top 4 players from the Desperado Squad.
The top 8 qualifying leaders will receive a first-round bye. The other 56 players will bowl six games starting from scratch. The top 22 will join the top 8 qualifiers in Round Two.
Those 30 players will bowl another six games starting from scratch after which the field will be trimmed to the top 18, who will carry the pinfall forward into Round Three. After another six-game block the top 4 players with the highest 12-game total will advance to the stepladder finals.
The No. 4 seed meets the No. 3 in the opening match and the winner takes on the No. 2 seed for the right to bowl the top seed for the title, the 7.000 Euro top prize and 150 EBT ranking points.
Columbia 300, which sponsors the Vienna Open for the 10th consecutive year, offers the Columbia Perfect Game Award and the Columbia Early Bird Award. 300 U.S. Dollar will be awarded for the first 300 game in the tournament, which will be bowled with a ball manufactured by Columbia 300. The winners of Squad 1-6 (Sept. 29-30), will receive a $ 200 bonus by Columbia 300 if they were wearing a C300 shirt and used a C300 bowling ball.
The 2014 European Bowling Tour features 19 tournaments in 13 countries. In its 15th season, the EBT consists of two Platinum, six Gold, three Silver and eight Satellite tournaments. The total prize fund is almost one million Euro.
The top 50 men and the top 50 women in each event receive ranking points. Those points will be tabulated throughout the season to determine the top 12 men and top 12 women, who will compete in the eighth EBT Masters July 6, 2015 at Bowling Chamartín in Madrid, Spain, immediately following the III Brunswick Madrid Challenge.

9 reviews for Squalane Skin Hydrator
Squalene rose oil is my first purchase with Indulgeo and i have never felt my skin look so good. I've suffered from acne since my teenage and never got clear skin until now. I've been using it since 15 days and i haven't had any breakout since then. Close your eyes and buy it if you have acne prone stubborn skin. You cannot go wrong with this. This product is a boon to me.
Hi. I've been suffering from acne since.. what? Some 11 years or so. My skin NEVER cleared. NEVER. I'm not even exxagerating. I even got a salicylic acid face wash and dermatologist's gels and multivitamins. Nothing worked. I've been using your squalene rose oil with hyaluronic acid since some 15 days, Along with my salicylic acid face wash. And I haven't got acne since then. My skin has cleared up after some 11 12 years. I'm not even using my anti acn gels I'm so thankful to you and your team.
What I love about this product is how it even my tone. I am so glad I decided to try this product.
Absolutely love this hydrator, gives me a radiant glow. I have no complaints.
I have used plain squalane oil. Really helped me with clogged pores. Best moisturiser for humid weather. I will now try pure squalane and rose oil.
all indulgeo products are worth buying better than those expensive creams i was using for all the oils are just perfect for all skin types
such an amazing product ❤❤its light and get indulge in skin much needed for my dry and sensitive skin would definitely advice all to go for this if u hv dry dehydrated skin its an amazing product
Please add squalane oil derived from only sugarcane to your products,many people suffering from fungal acne shouldn't use olive derived squalane,,in india there is no such product,it takes a whole lot of time and money to import from other countries.

This week I've been reading Roseanne Wilkins' LDS novel, Hidden in the Heart. This is a sweet story about a woman who was traumatized in her past and tries to handle things on her own. Her parents are dead, and she's alienated any relatives she has, but while on vacation with her daughter, she meets Garrett, a man with a big heart, but who has also been wounded. This story is about the struggle to put back together a life so that life can be shared with someone else. I enjoyed the story, but especially the relationship between the main character, Cathee, and her daughter. Nicely done!
I know Roseanne is a newer author and I commend her storytelling skills. Her characters were sympathetic and I was quite drawn to Cathee, but some spots made me wonder if events were moving too fast for what we knew of the characters, especially one who had been as traumatized as Cathee. I really liked the RAD/adoption/counselor angle, and Garrett was the hero every woman wants to know. The romance really was sweet. Sometimes, however, there was just a bit of overflow on details, which was a little distracting. It's just a matter of show, don't tell, the bane of every writer's existence, and something we're all trying to overcome. But, again, the storytelling aspect was strong, and the characters were likeable. I would definitely pick up another book by this author.
Here is the back copy for it:
Cathee is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She has suffered from severe post traumatic stress disorder for several years. During a vacation with her four year old daughter to Topeka, Kansas, she meets Garrett, a therapist. He hopes Cathee will let him help her work through her issues, but her past has come back to haunt her.
and the author's bio:
Roseanne Wilkins
I was the second oldest of 9 children. When I was 8, my family moved from the protective mountains of Salt Lake Valley to the open wheat fields of Kansas. Although terrified to start a new life in an area where we would be the only Mormons many people would ever meet, I soon came to love the land and the people there. I majored in elementary education while attending BYU. After marrying Craig, we moved around the country for several years. Before we had children, I spent spare moments writing but put my writing aside when my first son was born. That was 1991. In 2008, I was moved to write a fanfiction book, Noonday Sun. It had been so long since I'd written for my own enjoyment that I'd forgotten how much I loved it. After finishing the fanfiction, I searched through boxes that hadn't been opened since we moved back to Utah over a dozen years ago. I found several old manuscripts which I intend to finish - even if it takes another 20 years to do it.

October is turning out to be the worst month for US and Global equities since the 2008 financial crisis reigniting fears that the longest bull market has come to an abrupt halt. This downturn despite data showing the US economy is still growing at a robust 3.5% annualised rate in the third quarter.
The US S&P 500 finished last week 10% down from the September 21 all-time high.
Investor concerns:
- Central Banks: Most big central banks will continue to wind-down crisis-era stimulus programmes (despite signs that economies outside the US are slowing).The US Federal Reserve (Central Bank) is 'normalising' interest rate policy having raised the key 'Fed Funds' rate 3 times so far this year to the 2.0%-2.25% band with a further 0.25% rise expected in December and 3 more 0.25% rises expected next year (see Note 1).
- Bond Yields: The bond market reflects longer term interest rates. Higher yields mean It is more expensive for companies to borrow money i.e. lower corporate profitability. Furthermore, higher yields make bonds a more attractive investment (at the expense of stock investment).
- At the start of 2018 the key US Treasury Government Bond was yielding 2.50%. Two weeks ago this rose to above 3.20% and scared the stock market for the reasons above. Ironically, when stocks fall, as they have over the last 2 weeks, investors see 'safe haven' investments and then buy bonds which has actually forced down bond yields over the last fortnight noting that rising bond yields were part of the stock market problem in the first place!
- Mounting trade tensions affecting the outlook for global growth (with Chinese stocks particularly affected).
- European stocks also affected by uncertainty about Italy. The European Commission, as expected, rejected the country's draft 2019 budget-keeping Rome and Brussels on a collision course.
- Discouraging results from big technology groups: A cautious festive season outlook from Amazon sent it down 7.5% on Friday – its biggest one-day slump for two years. Google parent Alphabet fell 2.5% last Friday.
Emerging Markets
Emerging Markets have had their own problems falling 25% so far this year unsettled by a rising US Dollar which is continuing to benefit from the general upward trend of US rates. As the dollar rises, the cost of substantial amounts of Emerging Market debt denominated in US Dollars rises in local currency terms and becomes harder for those countries to service debt repayments. Turkey and Argentina have been particularly in the news although, in a 'contagion' effect, all Emerging Markets have suffered. Argentina and Turkey have both had to raise interest rates extremely sharply to support their currencies. Such moves are very unpopular with local populations and risks political instability.
Oil: Brent crude, the global benchmark, is trading at $77 per barrel just $5 short of the 4-year high reached 4 weeks ago. The fundamentals support a strong oil price at the moment with OPEC, in conjunction with major producers such as Russia, limiting supply coming to the market (a year ago Brent was $55 per barrel).A booming US economy (demand up) and President Trump's sanctions against Iran (supply down) reducing global production by circa 1 million barrels per day are two of the causes of this year's oil price rise.
Gold: The price of gold has generally remained subdued this year trading close to $1,200 per ounce (well below the $1,900 per ounce level shortly after the financial crisis). Attractive US equities do not help the performance of gold. It is only if inflation returns or overshoots will gold fully return to the investor limelight. However with stock markets falling over the last 2 weeks there has been a 'flight to safety' which has boosted the gold price to $1230 per ounce.
Note 1:
US Interest Rates are set by the FOMC (Federal Open Markets Committee) which meets approximately every 6 weeks. The 'Fed' has an unwavering commitment to 'normalising' interest rates. The average key 'Fed Funds' rate (the rate at which banks lend to each other via deposits placed at the Federal Reserve) is 5.95% looking at the last forty years. The market believes the new Fed 'normal' target is between 3 – 4% looking at an 18 month horizon; the level of inflation will be the key driver of this (currently US inflation is a healthy 2%).

These jars are made of polystyrene (PS) plastic. PS is light-weight, hard, and has an almost glass-like appearance which is shiny and classy. It has limited flexibility and is more brittle than other plastics.
Essential oils may damage polystyrene, causing products to leak. Products with essential oil content will work better in PET or glass containers.
These thick wall cosmetic jars are typically used for lotion, cream, serum, gel, putty, clay, hair products, skin products, cleanser, and other personal care products.
Covers for clear thick wall cosmetic jars are sold separately to allow you to customize your finished look.

Hey everyone been a while since I have posted here. Well I'm up to 80k in mileage on my cruze and my check engine light just came on. Since currently I'm 100 miles away from home I felt I little choice but to pay 20 bucks for the onstar protection plan to see what could be up with my cruze. (i know i need to get a OBD reader) Anyways Onstar informed that the code the error code that was transmitted to them is a P21DD Emission Reductant Tank Heating System (urea). Which from what I have heard on means something is wrong with my emission system. Can anyone provide any more detail in this error. I assume that I'm going to have pay to have a sensor or something to that matter replaced. Thanks for any guys!

We know that parenting a baby in the NICU is hard because we've been there too.
NICU parents are at higher risk for perinatal mood disorders (PMADS) like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and PTSD, and often don't receive the mental health support they need. Many parents don't realize the full impact of their experience or seek help until long after their babies have been discharged from the NICU, sometimes years later.
Richmond Parents of Preemies Connect (RPPConnect) can help!
Every month RPPConnect hosts a community-based peer-led, and clinician supported NICU Parenting Circle. Our families have experience unique to preterm birth and parenting in the NICU, however, these communities are open to ALL parents and family of NICU babies, no matter the journey.

However, it could mean people didn't warm to the tracks enough to buy it. Still, she's still up there!

Kellogg Company's net sales worldwide 2004-2019
Kellogg Company
The Kellogg Company is operating in the global snack business with a focus on breakfast foods and cereals. It was founded in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1906 and markets products in more than 180 countries worldwide. The company is best known for cereal brands such as Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Mini Wheats and Frosted Flakes. In addition, the company supplements its main product portfolio with snack and cookie brands such as Cheez-It and Pringles.
Kellogg's was one of the companies that pioneered in the cereal business when they first discovered how to make flakes out of corn. These toasted flakes were the base for the world-famous Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Today, the cereal giant constantly competes with General Mills for the title of biggest vendor in the United States. General Mills announced that they will roll-out five gluten-free cereal options in the summer of 2015 as an answer for the increasing consumer demand. Earlier, the company placed an emphasis on the whole grain content of their products.
Lately, the cereal market has been going through tough times. The cereal aisles have been facing stiff competition from protein-rich breakfast options such as Greek yogurt and hot meals such as oatmeal or egg-based dishes.

Encountering the Prides of the Serengeti
In June 2017, Safari365 consultants Wanita Lassen and Leticia Freire visited Northern Tanzania during an educational staff trip. During their time experiencing iconic safari destinations, their group spent time exploring Lake Manyara and the central Serengeti where they were lucky enough to have some special lion encounters! Wanita shared the highlights from her time with the lions with us.
Over the years, I have heard so much about the tree climbing lions in Tanzania, and was hoping that someday I would be lucky enough to see them. On a recent educational safari in the Serengeti I had a truly special experience; it involved four lions, unbearable temperatures and a tree.
Lake Manyara has been made famous by its tree dwelling lions. However after exploring Lake Manyara for a while, we did not see them, so I all but gave up on the experience. This is because the lions are not so readily seen in most areas of Manyara National Park thanks to the thick vegetation in the park. In the Serengeti, thick vegetation is not always a problem making sightings a bit easier so I still maintained a bit of hope.
Later on we were driving in the Central Serengeti to our next overnight stop. It was getting hotter by the minute when our guide SP quickly stopped the vehicle and pointed out to the right. Following his hand, I saw a group of lion lounging on the branches of a tree. Everyone was amazed at how precisely the lions had set themselves up into the perfect sleeping position.
It was a pity we did not see how they got into the trees but they were so well balanced on all fours with their tails just dangling over the edge of the branches. When we asked SP how he managed to spot them he said it was by seeing a tail hanging. They were a bit far in the distance but we still managed to spend some time with them and took some photos. I had finally got to have this great experience that I only heard of. It was so amazing when I could see it with my own eyes. So thanks to SP our guide for being so alert and having eye sight brilliant enough to spot far off wild life.
Early in the morning the following day we could hear the lions in the distance and we hoped that we would have another opportunity to see these amazing big cats.
After witnessing the most beautiful sunrise, SP decided to take us to an area where he thought we might see some wildlife action. And boy was he right! In the distance we could see a raised rocky area. The sun was moving higher, slowly shining more and more light onto the hill until it illuminated the rock and we could see the lions; not 2 not 4 not 8 not 10 but 22 lions in total!
The pride was well camouflaged against the colour of the rock but we managed to get a great view of them. It was a big pride and they must have been hunting the night before as they looked very well fed and totally exhausted. Most were just chilling on the rock and some had moved into the grassland next to the vehicles.
One of the lions was separated but on closer inspection we realized that she was still enjoying the last remnants from the kill the night before.
It was an amazing treat and an excellent way to start the day. Thanks again to our guide SP - you rock!

Webber International University (commonly referred to as Webber or WIU) is a private institution of higher learning located in Babson Park, Florida, with a setting overlooking Crooked Lake.
WIU was founded as Webber College by Roger Babson, an entrepreneur and business theorist in the first half of the 20th century.
Established in 1927 as the first private college chartered under Florida's then new charitable and educational laws and one of the nation's first business schools for women, Webber International University now hosts men and women from some 48 different nations.
Webber is recognized as one of only eleven Schools With a Specialty – Business, by the U.S. News & World Report America's Best Colleges, a Best Southeastern College by The Princeton Review, and an America's Most Military Friendly College by GI Jobs. The SACS and IACBE accredited not-for-profit independent University offers degrees exclusively in the areas of business.
Degrees include accounting, computer information systems management, corporate communications, finance, hospitality and tourism management, management, marketing, pre-law, security management, and sport management (associate's and bachelor's levels) and MBA, MBA with an emphasis in Accounting, MBA with an emphasis in International Business, MBA with an emphasis in Security Management, and MBA with an emphasis in Sport Management (master's level) Courses are offered in traditional, night and weekend, and on-line formats.
Webber is home to a $750,000 sewage plant. In 2008 President Keith Wade sold the naming rights to the plant on eBay[1], raising $6,800 in the process[citation needed]. More recently, in 2010, Wade purchased a Skype booth to benefit the array of international students, with the naming rights also being sold on eBay[2]. This raised $257 for the school[citation needed]
In February 2011 WIU announced a merger with St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, North Carolina.[3] In January 2014, WIU announced the acquisition of Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia.[4] The attempted acquisition of Virginia Intermont was abandoned on April 15, 2014.[5]
The university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associates, bachelor's and master's levels.
The university's athletic teams, known as the Warriors. Webber International is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and competes at the NAIA Division I level in The Sun Conference, formerly known as the Florida Sun Conference (FSC). The football team competes as an Independent under head coach Kelly Scott. The university fields 12 men's and 12 women's sports:
Men's sports
Women's sports
With the backing of the world-famous Kegel Training Center in Lake Wales, Florida, Webber's bowling program has become one of the most successful in the United States. The men's program began in the 2008-2009 season, with a women's program added in the 2009-2010 season. The team has advanced to the national championship tournament in every season in program history.
The women's team won the 2010 intercollegiate team championship of the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), held in El Paso, Texas, in its first year as a program. The final was aired on ESPN2 on May 5, 2010.[6] The women's team followed this feat by winning two more USBC national titles in 2012 and 2016.
In the 2010-2011 season, the men's team was ranked # 1 for the entire season by the Bowling Writers Association of America and the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association (NCBCA). However, at that year's intercollegiate championship tournament in Columbus, Georgia, the team lost to Fresno State in the finals, which later were aired on ESPN2. In 2012 the men's team bounced back to win the USBC national championship.
In 2009 in its first year as a program, the men's team finished as national semi-finalists, losing to the eventual national champion, Wichita State. Head Coach Slowinski was named the NCBCA National Coach of the Year in 2010, in addition to being a finalist in both 2009 and 2011.
On October 27, 2010, the Warriors defeated local rivals Warner to win the Crooked Lake Cup and qualify for the 2010 Sun Conference regional tournament. Although the series was tied 2-2 on aggregate, Webber won the conference portion and therefore were awarded the trophy.[7]

Ben van Berkel / UNStudio's Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) realised and receives Gold certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)
The Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) for the 'Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation IAO' in Stuttgart has been realised. The official opening takes place today with an opening ceremony during which the German Sustainable Building Council (DNGB) will award the building with a Gold certification.
UNStudio's design for the Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) applies its research into the potential to expand contemporary understandings of new working environments and affect a design approach that creates working environments which stimulate communication, experimentation and creativity through a new type of office building. The Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) not only incorporates a fully inclusive approach to sustainability, but also provides an example of the role that architecture can play in the working environments of the future.
Ben van Berkel: "The Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) was designed as a new prototype for how architecture can incorporate a contemporary understanding of the work place and stimulate new ways of working in the future. Communication is key to new and creative ways of working and we designed the ZVE of the Fraunhofer IAO to stimulate this at all levels through architecture."
The traditional office grid and the separation of work spaces is replaced by the incorporation of extensive visual connections, spaces for incidental and planned meetings and flexible office 'laboratories' with shared work stations.
Located on the research campus of the Fraunhofer IAO in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, the Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) specialises in the investigation of different multidisciplinary work flows.
All parts of the ZVE programme are implemented into the spatial organisation of the building. The diagrammatic approach employed combines the laboratory and research functions with public exhibition areas and a scenographic routing of the visitors in an open and communicative building concept.
Construction and design elements are integrated within a coherent structure with open and closed elements. The geometry of the floor plan, consisting of curved and straight elements, dissolves into the saw tooth geometry of the facade whilst maintaining the effect of a continuously transforming surface.
An exceptional level of sustainability was a key consideration from the outset. The building structure partially consists of bubble deck ceilings, providing both an economical alternative to the more commonly used concrete ceilings and reduction in weight, allowing for column free spaces.
The plot for the Centre for Virtual Engineering ZVE has been used to its maximum in terms of development potential. The rounded shape and optimised building envelope provides a 7% smaller contour than that of a rectangular form of the same area. This also results in a better facade area to volume ratio. The amount of glass facade is only 32%. All spaces along the facade can be ventilated directly by operable window elements. Ceilings without any lintels make it possible for daylight to reflect deep into the spaces, which are additionally supported by daylight lamellas while the sun screens are down. Low maintenance, separable, and recyclable materials have been used for the skeleton as well as for the interior and facade construction.
Ben van Berkel: "The Centre for Virtual Engineering (ZVE) is a prime example of what I like to refer to as 'attainabilty'. The building combines the affordable with the sustainable through a combination of its compact building volume, materialisation, flexible organisation, efficient ground use and numerous energy saving installations."
UNStudio worked in collaboration with Asplan from Kaiserslautern on the architectural services for the Centre. UNStudio was responsible for the design development, the required 3D-planning and implementation during all planning processes. Asplan was responsible for the development of the construction documents and the site supervision.

Ferro silicon is an alloy of iron and silicon with an average silicon content between 15 and 90 weight percent. It contains a high proportion of iron silicides. Ferro silicon is often used as deoxidizer in steel making, and it is also beneficial to improve the temperature of molten steel when it is produced with a large amount of heat during the generation of SiO2.Silicon also can be used as an alloy element joining agent, widely used in low alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel, silicon in the ferro alloy production and chemical industry, commonly used as a reducing agent.
Product Description
Ferro silicon is produced by reduction of silica or sand with coke in the presence of iron. Typical sources of iron are scrap iron, millscale. Ferro silicons with silicon content up to about 15% are made in blast furnaces lined with acid fire bricks. Ferro silicons with higher silicon content are made in electric arc furnaces. The usual formulations on the market are ferro silicons with 15%, 45%, 75%, and 90% silicon. The remainder is iron, with about 2% consisting of other elements like aluminium and calcium. An overabundance of silica is used to prevent formation of silicon carbide.
