Foiled again
Chemists at Queens University Belfast have developed a method to turn used aluminium foil into single-crystalline alumina catalysts for biofuel production. Simon Frost reports.
'I have always been inspired by chemistry and I believe that catalysis especially can make the world a better place,' Queen's University Belfast (QUB), UK researcher Dr Ahmed Osman Ahmed told Materials World. His new study, published in Nature Scientific Reports, offers a novel process for synthesing highly active mesoporous alumina catalysts from aluminium foil waste – a material that is more often incinerated or landfilled than recycled, as contaminants such as grease and oils can damage recycling equipment.
'One day I decided to make something good for the environment,' Ahmed said. 'I took a walk at QUB's David Kier building laboratories to find out what is the largest waste material that I could recycle and reuse in something useful.' He found that around 20,000t of aluminium waste is sent to landfill in the UK alone every year – 'enough to stretch 770,000km to the moon and back,' he said. In 2012, roughly a century after the first aluminium foil rolling plant began operation in Switzerland in 1910, the global annual production capacity for aluminium foil was estimated at 4.6Mt.
Alumina is most commonly extracted via electrolysis from bauxite, a mineral that occurs predominantly in tropical and sub-tropical areas. It is largely mined in West Africa, Australia, China, India, the West Indies and South America. Bauxite mining can create significant tailings of red mud – a highly alkaline combination of iron oxides, titanium dioxide, silicon oxide and undissolved alumina – as well as emitting perfluorocarbons and CO2 during production.
Ahmed and his colleagues at QUB's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering created a method for turning aluminium foil waste into mesoporous alumina catalysts, which are widely used in the production of biofuels such as dimethyl ether from methanol alcohol, a reaction that requires the acidity of a solid acid catalyst. Ahmed claims that his team's foil-derived catalysts offer better surface and bulk characteristics than commercial alumina, in terms of surface structure (morphology, surface area and pore volume) and surface acidity.
A simple process
To produce them, he dissolved foil waste in different acidic solutions, then kept the solution in a desiccator – a moisture-supressing sealed container – until different single crystallites formed. 'After the recrystallisation, we decided to prepare the γ-Al2O3 via ammonia precipitation, so that the preparation procedures did not create emissions or waste,' Ahmed explained.
The team tested the alumina as a catalyst support for palladium in the methane combustion reaction, with palladium as the active species. 'The significance of this catalyst system is that it can be used in the after-treatment of natural gas vehicles,' Ahmed said. 'There are more than 16 million such vehicles in use, but burning methane as a fuel is difficult due to its high stability. With a global warming potential 20 times that of CO2, any release of unburned methane is problematic. Presently, there are no catalytic converter technologies to treat unburned methane in an engine exhaust.'
Ahmed also claims that no research had previously been performed on the potential preparation of an ultra-pure single-crystalline alumina catalyst from aluminium foil waste, nor its applications in bio-fuel production. The potential environmental benefits of the process are fourfold – diminishing the reliance on virgin aluminium from bauxite mining, reducing the end-of-life waste stream of aluminium foil, providing possible methods for producing biofuel from agricultural waste and treating unburned methane.
'The applications of alumina as a support or catalyst are phenomenal,' Ahmed said. 'Furthermore, it can be used for cooking and heating as a replacement for propane (LPG), or in transportation as a fuel in cars or even in power generation to produce electricity.'
To prepare 1kg of alumina catalyst, 265g of foil waste is needed, along with around nine litres each of hydrochloric acid and ammonia solution, amounting to a total cost of £120 per kilogram of the alumina catalyst. 'The average cost of the commercial alumina catalyst is about £305 per kilogram, so our novel idea can make a highly active catalyst at less than half the cost of currently available commercial catalysts,' Ahmed explained. 'The market we could open up in the application of alumina catalysts derived from foil feedstock is phenomenal.'
Recyclers' reservations
Rick Hindley, Executive Director at The Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation (Alupro), UK, was impressed by Ahmed's study, but sceptical of its practical application. 'It is clearly an interesting chemical process, but it strikes me that it might not be a realistic way to re-use foil – I struggle to see how enough used foil could be collected in the first place to make it a viable process,' he told Materials World. 'At Alupro, we would always prioritise the product-to-product processes.'
Over the past few months – between the study being submitted and published – Ahmed and his colleagues have been exploring the application of the modified alumina catalyst in the catalytic converters of natural gas vehicles. 'Currently, we are seeking funds to improve the catalytic process and then commercialise the products. I have finished my PhD study and am seeking a postdoctoral position to further investigate the synthesis process, before contacting companies with interests in biofuel production and catalytic converters for natural gas vehicles.' He estimates that another year of research will bring his technology to commercial readiness.
Ahmed's key aim is to find ways of producing biofuel from agricultural waste or natural gas less expensively and more accessibly than currently available. 'I want it to be widely available to a global community and not limited to those who can afford it,' he said. 'Using this novel crystallisation method to produce different types of alumina with different structures, each catalyst's structure and the whole catalyst design can be controlled from the beginning and throughout the process.'

This year I had the joy of making Valentine cards with my grand daughters.
I decided to try finger-painting with them to make handprints.
I used instant chocolate pudding which I made with water instead of milk.
Each of the girls' response to the 'paint' was different.
The oldest went at it like a pro, since she has experienced finger-paint before.
This one was hesitant and not quite sure what she should do with it.
This one stuck her finger right in
and continued from there.
She was the only one of the three that tasted it too.
Before I cleaned them up (in the bath) I pressed their hands on a big paper heart.

My problem is that I'm so attached to this story that I need the writing of it to be superb. I don't know that I trust myself to do it justice. Yet, it's not like anyone else could either - not because there aren't some great writers out there, but just because the story is so me. I could just write it - it's not like anyone has to actually read it, save for my husband. At least then, it wouldn't be stuck in my brain for another couple decades.
There's also the question of which way to go with the ending. There are two similar endings in my head: one would mean the book would fall in the genre of Christian Fiction, and the other would just be fiction. Maybe if I do write it, I'll write two versions and see which I like best, but that seems like a lot of work, no?
This probably doesn't deserve a blog post, but I wanted to make a post today and this is what's on my mind. So there you go.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An animal rescue organization wants to know who left two puppies in a tote and dumped them outside of a clinic.
A group of volunteers spotted a tote outside the FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic on the city's near east side around 9 p.m. Monday.
"She went out to see what that was, and her heart just sank as she saw there were two little puppies inside," said Tara Harris, director of Every Dog Counts Rescue.
Both puppies were underweight and had parvovirus. Only one of the puppies survived.
"The one little girl unfortunately didn't make it through the night. She was already very cold by the time they found her, so she was hospitalized. Despite efforts to save her, she passed away. The other one is still hanging in there with us so far," said Harris.
Harris is the director of Every Dog Counts Rescue. She's certain the surviving puppy was found just in time.
"Even the one that is alive with us now, I think she may have died being out in the cold all night," said Harris.
There was nothing in the tote with the puppies—no food, no water, not a single blanket.
"To not even give them a towel or a blanket to try to keep warm was even more heartbreaking," said Harris.
Vet techs at Noah's Animal Hospital showed FOX59 the surviving puppy. She was wrapped up in a purple blanket and still shaking.
"There's no excuse to just abandoned puppies like this," said Harris.
The pit bull puppies are about six weeks old, and whoever dumped them clearly didn't care.
"If you can't do it yourself, you have to reach out for help. Abandoning animals is cruel, and it's a crime," said Harris.
This puppy doesn't have a name yet. Harris and all the others who are caring for her know she deserves a strong and special name for what she's been through.
The Every Dog Counts Rescue organization contacted law enforcement. If you know anything that could help find whoever abandoned these puppies, call the Mayor's Action Center at 317-327-4622.

I'm trying to call a datadownload service from a workbench with an HTTPCaller. All works perfectly: the call start the job on fme server and at the end I've the json response with the link and other parameters.
In my parameters from the HTTPCaller I've set the opt_requesteremail but no email are sent with the download link to the requester.Anyone have tested it? I use fme 2018.1.0.3
I thought a workaround, but I like to use this parameter that made what I need...
Thanks for the support.
I create a workaround at the problem of the HTTPCaller request to the datadownload service: a python caller that do the request and work perfectly.
I don't understand why the same post request made with the httpcaller return a html response and don't send an email to the requester (async mode) but with curl return the json string and the email is delivered.
I think I found the problem... I was sending a sync data download... With the async works.
UPDATE:Now the request is ok but when I send the call to the server the response is made in html... no json response. I've tried a lot of solution but I always an html response. If I use Advanced REST Client with same parameters works and I have a json response... If I use same parameters on httpcaller I have a html response.
Yes, in the header I have Authorization and Accept application/json, in the body a attribute with the parameters and the content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
I've tested the difference between httpcaller and ARC and the only difference is the useragent that in the httpcaller is set to FME...
You can also specify the format with "opt_responseformat=json".
See: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/ReferenceManual/service_datastreaming.htm
Yes, thanks. I've tried a lot of configurations but nothing worked as expected.
Did you try the HTTPCaller to do what I try to do? Work by you?
Which URL are you using? There are two APIs:
The parameters are different.
I tried the HTTPCaller with the datadownload service which worked perfectly.
No, I've tried it but the subscription send an email only if I specify the email in it. With this solution the opt_requesteremail is ignored... It don't send a meil to it. I'd like to be dynamic and send the link for the download at the requester: is an user of our administration.
In the email log I have this warning: Skipped sending email for subscription "DataDownload_Email_JobSuccess". No recipients were specified in subscription configuration or notification message.
Do you have a topic to notifyon success/failure and an email subscription on that topic for the FME Server workbench?

US: The association of geospatial firms, MAPPS has presented the MAPPS Public Service Award to Randy Willis, Manager for Strategic Operations – Unmanned Aircraft at the Federal Aviation Administration. Willis was recognized at the MAPPS Summer Conference in Traverse City, Michigan.
The award is a recognition of individuals in government who have made extraordinary contributions to the public and the geospatial profession in their government service roles. Established by the MAPPS Board of Directors, the award is presented to individuals who have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty in support of MAPPS and the geospatial profession.
Willis is Air Traffic Organization Manager in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Emerging Technologies Team for Strategic Operations – Unmanned Aircraft.
Previous recipients of the MAPPS Pubic Service Award are M.K. Miles, Deputy Chief of Engineering and Construction, Civil Works Directorate, in the headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in Washington, DC, (now retired); Nicholas (Miki) Schmidt, Chief of the Science and Geospatial Division for NOAA's Office for Coastal Management NOAA, Charleston, SC; and Major Clark, Assistant Chief Counsel for Procurement Policy for the Office of Advocacy, Small Business Administration, Washington, DC.
"Since 2008, Randy Willis has been the FAA unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) office liaison to MAPPS. In that role, he has had an open mind and an open door. He has consistently attended MAPPS meetings to listen, answer questions, and act. The voice of the aerial surveying and mapping community has been heard in FAA, policy was developed with knowledge of our community and its desire to commercially operate UAS, and regulations are now in place that will enable the private geospatial community to embrace and employ UAS in service to our clients and the public, all in large measure due to Randy Willis's dedicated public service,' said MAPPS Executive Director John Palatiello. "Randy has been influential in working with MAPPS to have our community recognized in many FAA policies, including the FAA's first "Roadmap" on UAS in 2013, he led the effort to raise the ceiling under 333′ to 400′. Moreover, Geospatial/Aerial Surveying/Mapping is prominent in FAA's consideration of UAS policy because of Randy."

Former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Nick Clegg appointed Chairman of the Advisory Board at UK Digital Health Startup Cera
Cera is a homecare provider that is technology enabled. Its mission is to use technology in order to provide excellent, transparent, and efficient care services.
Through its matching algorithm and automated scheduling systems, Cera is able to arrange home care within 24 hours, while fully taking into consideration a patient's needs and preferences.
Cera also uses artificial intelligence to predict deteriorations in users' health, permitting earlier intervention and more proactive care.
It has significantly lower overheads compared to traditional care companies, allowing Cera to pay its carers 50% higher than the industry average, while still offering affordable rates for customers.
This results in recruitment of experienced, capable carers that are well trained and provide the highest quality care.
Former Deputy Prime Minister
Speaking on his appointment, the former deputy prime minister said: "The country faces huge challenges in the funding and provision of social care, and it is clear that fresh and innovative thinking is required to meet them.
"We are only just beginning to see the potential of technology in public services, and I am enormously excited by the work that Cera is doing – particularly through the use of Artificial Intelligence – in this area.
"I have been especially impressed by the way that Cera's innovative way of providing care has succeeded in reducing the number of elderly clients who end up in hospital.
"Far too many vulnerable elderly people languish in hospital beds when they could be looked after better in their own home or in residential settings. I am looking forward to working with Ben and his award-winning team."
Dr. Ben Maruthappu, co-founder and CEO of Cera said: "We are delighted to have Nick join us, as we seek to transform social care using digital and AI.
"He has tremendous experience, both in the UK and internationally, and is admired by many for his commitment to improving public sector services using technology.
"Nick brings a wealth of ideas and insights, that will strengthen both Cera's ambitions and our delivery of innovation in social care, improving services for patients while reducing costs for the taxpayer."

Regular readers of my blog know I don't read a whole lot of books aimed at teens. I've tried some in the past, with middling success. The ones I tend to like are either books with a social justice angle (think Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give) or something totally out of left field (for me) like a paranormal mystery or fantasy (like Maureen Johnson's Shades of London series.) I often think most of these books just aren't aimed at me, a middle-aged woman. And that's totally fine! But I do continue to want to give YA a try, if only so that I can recommend a few every now and then to a library patron. I have recently read two for my 20 Books of Summer list that I enjoyed and wanted to share a few brief thoughts.
Dear Martin by debut author Nic Stone was a fast-paced, engaging story that I read quickly (just over 200 pages.) High school senior Justyce McAllister is near the top of his mostly-white private school student body and heading to Yale University next year. The book opens with an incident where he is trying to help his drunk girlfriend get home from a party and ends up handcuffed for hours by a cop who mistakenly sized up the situation. The incident rattles Justyce and he starts to write "letters" to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a way to process his emotions and thoughts.
Last night changed me. I don't wanna walk around all pissed off and looking for problems, but I know I can't continue to pretend nothing's wrong. Yeah, there are no more "colored" water fountains, and it's supposed to be illegal to discriminate, but if I can be forced to sit on the concrete in too-tight cuffs when I've done nothing wrong, it's clear there's an issue. That things aren't as equal as folks say they are.
The novel alternates these letters with every day conversations in Justyce's classes and his regular high school life. Some of his white friends and classmates demonstrate an appalling lack of sensitivity, and some do things that are out-right racist. However, when Justyce and his white classmate SJ start becoming more than friends, Stone doesn't shy away from writing about how Justyce's mother would be uncomfortable with him dating a white girl. Later there is another incident with an off-duty police officer that it even more traumatic and serious for Justyce and one of his friends, and it really makes him question everything, including the value of following Dr. King's non-violent teachings. While I was engaged by the story, I didn't love it because I found the writing to be lacking in complexity, but perhaps that's the thing that might make it sing to a 13 or 14 year-old. Stone has delivered a highly relevant and emotionally affecting story that will speak to a lot of young people today. (3 stars.)
Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older is a bit of a departure for me as I don't normally read much fantasy. But I'm here to say I really liked it! When I do read fantasy I prefer it to be set in a world that's similar to the real one, with maybe just a few wacky things different. In Shadowshaper, you'll recognize Older's portrayal of current-day Brooklyn, NY – except maybe for the murals on buildings that move as if alive and the corpses that become reanimated with evil spirits!
From Goodreads: Sierra soon discovers a supernatural order called the Shadowshapers, who connect with spirits via paintings, music, and stories. Her grandfather once shared the order's secrets with an anthropologist, Dr. Jonathan Wick, who turned the Caribbean magic to his own foul ends. Now Wick wants to become the ultimate Shadowshaper by killing all the others, one by one. With the help of her friends and the hot graffiti artist Robbie, Sierra must dodge Wick's supernatural creations, harness her own Shadowshaping abilities, and save her family's past, present, and future.
The writing was lively and vibrant, sometimes funny, and Sierra felt like a believable character to me. I loved this exchange when she worried over her belly to her best friends before a date:
"What if he doesn't like my ponch?"
"Your what now?"
"My little belly ponch." Sierra patted her tummy.
"Oh lord, Sierra, really? Everybody has a little gut, and plenty a' dudes go crazy for 'em. Stop fretting."
I also appreciated Older's handling of the gentrification of Sierra's friend's neighborhood:
The place Sierra and Bennie used to get their hair done had turned into a fancy bakery of some kind, and yes, the coffee was good, but you couldn't get a cup for less than three dollars. Plus, every time Sierra went in, the hip, young white kid behind the counter gave her either the don't-cause-no-trouble look or the I-want-to-adopt-you look. The Takeover (as Bennie dubbed it once) had been going on for a few years now, but tonight its pace seemed to have accelerated tenfold. Sierra couldn't find a single brown face on the block. It looked like a late-night frat party had just let out; she was getting funny stares from all sides – as if she was the out-of-place one, she thought.
And then, sadly, she realized she was the out-of-place one.
This was an exciting, original adventure full of magic, art, and mystery. I ordered the second book in the series, Shadowhouse Fall, from the library and hope to read it in the next few weeks. (4 stars.)
Do you read YA books? If so, have you got some recommendations for ones I shouldn't miss?
(These are the fourth and fifth books I've featured from my 20 Books of Summer list.)

All day long yesterday Ozzie moped around the house, with no apparent energy to do anything.
He looked out the window, sighing.
He flipped, and flopped, unable to get comfortable.
He looked at me, he looked at the other cat. He meowed a pathetic little kitty mew.
It was just that kind of day.
I understand little kitty. I understand.

Daffodil Alumni North American Reunion 2019 was held in New York, USA on June 15, 2019 on a river cruise towards the Statue of Liberty with Daffodil Alumni. The alumni members got the opportunity to reminisce, exchanging and sharing views and joining in the fun cultural events. The river cruise turned into a great gathering of Daffodillians coming from different parts of North America.
The main objective of this reunion was to form a global network of Daffodil Alumni uniting country wide non-resident Daffodil Alumni Network and utilising this collective network for the development of Bangladesh using their experience and expertise for positioning Bangladesh.
UN Permanent Representative of Bangladesh and Ambassador Masud Bin Momen graced the occasion as the chief guest while Dr. Md. Sabur Khan, Chairman, Daffodil Family was present as the special guest in the programme. Mohammad Nuruzzaman, Chief Executive Officer and Mohamed Emran Hossain, Chief Operating Officer and other high officials of Daffodil Family attended the programme. Ziaul Haque Sumon, President, DIU Alumni Association conducted the programme. More than 200 Daffodil Alumni and their family members participated in the reunion.
Masud Bin Momen said that it's a praiseworthy matter to arrange such kind of reunion programme in North America by the Daffodil family. Developed countries use their alumni to enhance their organisational development through which the entire country benefits. He thanked Daffodil for arranging this programme.
Dr. Md. Sabur Khan said that "emotion" is one of their major strengths. The organisation wants to make a platform with Daffodil alumni through which members spread all over the world can be brought under one umbrella, to work for the country's development.
Daffodil Group CEO Mohammad Nuruzzaman announced that a website for Daffodil Alumni members in London has already been created. The work to build similar website for North America is underway.

Yesterday I saw an unfamiliar flower blooming outside my window atop the moss covered rocky ledge and I went outside to see what it was. It looked a little like soaproot (Chlorogalum spp.) flowers, but those do not grow in Vermont. As it turned out the "flowers" were the unfurled, pubescent new leaves of a young striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum), a very common plant in New England, and not as interesting as the other thing I found outside my window.
You see crane flies (Tipulidae spp.) often, they look like large mosquitoes and often go by the common name "mosquito hawk". Unfortunately, they only look like mosquitoes and do not hunt them. Fortunately, they only look like mosquitoes and do not act like them.
I didn't know much about crane flies, so I did a little reading about them and now know minimally more than I did. Not enough to identify this species unfortunately. When I first found the pupating insect it was holding its wings wide, but when I returned with a camera it had folded them back along its body.
The larvae of some species live under water, much like caddis fly larvae, other species have terrestrial larvae. In either case the larvae eat dead vegetation. The larvae of terrestrial species have tough skin, leading to the common name "leather jack", which I think is pretty cool. Skunks and moles eat the grubs, as, I expect, do birds when they can get them. The adults of most species do not eat, and in some species only the males have wings.
I turned my back for a minute to take a photo of a leaf-hopper sitting nearby, and when I turned back, the crane fly had gone.
Hunting around with the half-formed though that if I had seen one, there might be others (always worth checking, sometimes it pays off). I did not find any others hatching, but there was evidence that others had hatched recently.
Insects are one of the most mysterious and magical things. They transform themselves in ways that seem impossible, ones that pupate completely breaking down their bodies and reconfiguring them in radically different configurations. Tests on butterfly caterpillars indicate that, despite pretty much liquifying themselves, they retain memories and lessons learned through the process. Insects are so successful that nearly every ecosystem and terrestrial living thing is now dependent on them, if not directly, then removed from direct dependence by only a step or two.
We don't know how many species exist, and often fail to grasp their importance. We try to kill the insects we dislike with poisons and within a few generations they develop immunities. They are mind bogglingly tough and adaptable, despite their individual fragility.
They are ubiquitous, fundamental, and wondrous.

Gains One Enjoys Form Online Loans
When having a financial crisis, taking a loan may be your only option as savings sometimes gets depleted and the money you have currently cannot solve the financial problem at hand. However, your cash requirement may be instant but most loaning agencies, and the financial institution can fail you terribly. This is because most financiers require some paperwork or their loan application procedures are tiring. To avoid this and get an instant loan, you can consider online creditors. They are the best since their loan application process is simple. People are therefore preferring dealing with online creditors these days as a result of their favorable terms. The benefits that one enjoys by dealing with online creditors are as follows.
The primary benefit of online loans is that no paperwork is involved. As compared to banks and other financial institution, online creditors are paperwork free. Online
The procedure to follow when applying for a loan from a bank is long since there is paperwork involved to determine your eligibility for the loan. You can provide all the requirements but fail to qualify for the loan. As a result, the process takes long and consumes a lot of time.
Nevertheless, to determine the eligibility of a person for online loans does not require any paperwork. The requirement for the loan is filling a form online for the loan request with your details and the loan is processed instantly.
The other benefit associated with online loans is attractive interest rates. With high-interest rates from the banks and other financial institutions, it is discouraging to apply for a loan from them. However, with various online loans, the interest rates are low making them the best to consider when sourcing for an instant loan.
Another advantage of online loans is convenience. The most probable reason why most people opt for online creditors when in need of an instant loan. This is due to the fact that with online creditors, once can be able to apply for a loan while seated at home. Most of the online loans are made available by the creditor through various digital platforms such as a website or an app. Therefore, with access to the internet, you can apply for the instant loan anytime and from anywhere.
In conclusion, the other advantage of online loans is easy repayment options.
There before, loan repayment involved cheques. In the modern days, however, payments can be done online. There is an online system provided by the creditors to enable payments to be done online through the automatic debit of EMI options.

The Wrestling Booking
The Four Horseman will
be returning, WCW television has made that
clear. What remains unclear is
if the Horseman can make an impact on
wrestling scene. Will they be given victories in
high profile matches at the expense of nWo
Hollywood & nWo
Wolfpac? Does the
public still
care? How does Ric Flair fit into all this?
The Flair answer may be the key.
The current WCW
storyline shows Chris Benoit in the beginning stages
of reforming the Horseman. He gets jumped, Steve
McMichael makes the save and the four fingers are
raised. The crowd pops huge, especially if it's done
in a market where the Horseman once reigned supreme.
Most fans think this may have something to do with
Ric Flair, since most don't know of Flair's legal
situation. As much as some of the fans may love the
idea of the Horseman they are likely in for a huge
Who will make
up the new Four Horseman? Here is the proposed
lineup: Arn Anderson will be their manager, filling
the classic JJ Dillon role. Chris Benoit will
be the leader. The other three members will be Dean
Malenko, Steve McMichael and Fit Finlay. Definitely
the weakest group
of Horseman
They will never
be given victories over the nWo and will not even be
dominant in WCW itself, since DDP, Goldberg, and Booker T will
all be given bigger pushes. How should the formation
of the new Four Horseman be handled? Below, one
possible scenario is outlined:
July 6th
(Nitro)- Chris Benoit and Steve McMichael are
challenged by Bret Hart and Curt Hennig to a tag
match. Arn doesn't accompany Benoit & McMichael to
ringside; the nWo is accompanied by Rick Rude. The
match ends when
Hart locks Mongo into the Sharpshooter. Hennig &
Benoit are brawling at ringside and Mongo submits
clean. Brian Adams, Hollywood Hogan, Scott Steiner,
The Giant, Vincent, Eric Bischoff, & The Disciple
all storm the ring. They beat the hell out of Benoit
and then the real damage begins. Hart locks Mongo
back into the Sharpshooter and keeps him in it for
several more minutes.
Tony Shiavonie
is going crazy; assorted babyfaces try to make the
save. nWo
Hollywood repulses
them all and they finally leave Mongo
for dead in the
middle of the ring. Hogan stands over Benoit,
ranting on and on that the Horseman are dead and
will never be a threat to nWo
Hollywood again. The
announcers comment on the fact
that the entire
NWO Hollywood took part in the attack and all the
guns were out in full force.
For the next
two weeks Benoit is competing in
Japan. The announcers
speculate on
the future of the elite organization in the history
of WCW. It is announced that Benoit is refusing to
comment on the situation and has cancelled his
bookings for the immediate future. Arn
Anderson is asked to comment and simply holds up the
four fingered salute.
July 16th
(Thunder)- Booker T defends the TV Title against
Brian Adams. After Booker wins cleanly,
Vincent, Curt Hennig, & The Disciple hit the ring
and team up on Booker T. Stevie Ray tries to make
the save and is immediately destroyed. Out comes
Benoit, a chair wielding Arn Anderson & Dean Malenko.
They quickly take the offensive and most of the NWO
jobbers are thrown from the ring. The Disciple is
the unlucky soul left with the Horseman. Benoit
locks him in the Crippler Crossface and
keeps him in it for several minutes. Hogan & The
Giant finally attempt to make the save and right as
The Giant steps through the ropes he is nailed
squarely on the head with a chair shot wielded by
Dean Malenko. The Giant is knocked out cold. As the
Horseman make their strategic retreat Hogan is shown
in deep emotional pain over the
prone figure of the Disciple.
July 20th
(Nitro)- It is announced through the commentary that
The Disciple is out of action indefinitely. From the
start of the show it is hyped that Arn Anderson has
asked for interview time later in the program.
Finally, near the end of the second hour, the
Horseman's music begins playing. Benoit, Anderson, &
Malenko make their way to the ring. Tony Shiavonie
is conducting the interview & Arn starts off the
interview. He begins by announcing that Steve
McMichael suffered a cracked vertebrae, and doctor's
aren't sure if Mongo can ever return
to action. He
warns not to bet against McMichael but to be aware
that sometimes injuries can knock the toughest out
of the game. He warns that even though he may be
unable to compete in the ring, he's still prepared
to do whatever it takes to bring The Horseman back
to the top. The microphone is then turned over to
Chris Benoit.
Benoit announces to
the fans that the biggest honor yet of his
career was when he was invited to join The Horseman.
He wants to lead the Horseman into the next
millennium; a group of Horseman has more heart than
the entire nWo combined. Benoit then introduces the
newest Horseman, Dean Malenko. He explains how
Malenko has been an opponent of his for close to a
decade and there are very few opponents he has ever
respected as much as Malenko. He warns that so far,
there are only two and in the weeks ahead the other
two slots will be filled. The mike is then handed to
Malenko thanks Arn &
Chris for the privilege of being a Horseman and
proclaims it
the greatest honor of his career. He proclaims that
there is one thing The Horseman have been known for
above anything else and that's winning titles. All
champions in WCW are on warning: The Horseman
are coming after your belts.
then comments on the nWo Wolfpac. He claims that
while The Horseman have nothing against them they
also have
no allegiance to them. The Wolfpac do not represent
WCW, The Four
Horseman have
represented the best of WCW for the last 12 years.
There is no
mention of Ric Flair.
July 23
(Thunder)- Malenko & Benoit team up against Brian
Adams & Curt Hennig. The match ends when Benoit &

(Editor's note: Walmart is constantly innovating as it ventures further into e-commerce. Don't get left behind! Click here to learn more about growing your online sales with Walmart.)
New product lines, numerous acquisitions, branding overhauls. . .retail news has been filled with headlines of companies striving to entice the online shopper. As major players try each month to "one-up" each other for dominance, e-commerce continues to evolve in offering and strategy.
We had a chance recently to speak with Colby Beland, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CaseStack. As he observes the retail landscape, his vantage point on the ever-changing e-commerce is rather unique. In our conversation, he brought an interesting perspective for suppliers looking to expand assortment online this year.
How Does Consumer Data Play?
Knowledge is power; that's actually not true. Any professional will tell you it's what you do with knowledge that gives you power. Retailers now have better quality and quantity of data about their customers than ever before. Beland is quick to point out that more data isn't the key, but those that apply it will rise to the top.
"Things are changing so fast. You have to understand the information at your fingertips and how to leverage it," he advises. "Suppliers have to be smart enough to take all that information and figure out what to do with it. The companies that figure out how to leverage that technology and the data they're gathering to their benefit, they'll be the ones that win."
Many companies pride themselves on gathering your data, views, clicks, impressions, etc. The best will go beyond the numbers to see the story the data tells. Telling the story tells you how to adjust your online business for success.
Battling that Last Mile in Delivery
One of the biggest e-commerce speculations as of this posting is Amazon possibly purchasing Target. In purchasing Whole Foods, Amazon did more than enter the produce realm; it forged a physical footprint. A similar purchase of Target would put it closer to Walmart in solving for the "last mile of delivery" issue faced in online purchases.
"The last mile is the biggest challenge and the most cost associated with e-commerce," Beland observes. "Figuring out the right solution is the interesting play."
Given the present issues with that last mile to the customer, Amazon purchasing Target could be the logical solution. Beland sees the strength from the supply chain side to use stores for online purchase destinations. "I think the winner will be who figures out how to leverage their brick-and-mortar footprint for pickup and other assets will be the differentiator in winning the final mile piece."
Third-Party Marketplace
Smaller suppliers sometimes opt not to work directly with a retailer, but instead to sell on the retailer's site via third-party marketplace options. Beland sees it as a potential win-win.
"It creates a lot of value for the retailer in driving site-traffic," he explains. "The more product you have to offer, the longer the consumer is on your site. This opportunity creates the ability to have a bigger bill of sale."
However, he also points out there is always a downside. "There is a lot of risk for the seller and the retailer in the online marketplace. The retailer is held accountable to the seller in the way that they choose to do business. Retailers do lose a little control in that respect."
Know all your options as you make plans to streamline your e-commerce game. Think of the whole picture from content to data and supply chain to delivery. Considering a partner like CaseStack can be your first step toward a profitable 2018.

See it here. Nagel gives a good overview summary, and I quite agree with a lot that Dennett has to say. But then Nagel gets to the section on consciousness, and how Dennett continues to insist is is merely a useful user-illusion nonetheless. Dennett denounces the first-person perspective because not only can it not understand the true (scientific) nature of its workings but it makes up fictitious reasons for that nature.
This precludes that our 1st person perspective can explore our consciousness while simultaneously also exploring it's 3rd person scientific correlates and sharing with, and learning from, our 2nd person communications with others and culture at large to align our manifest image with the scientific image. This is exactly the sort of investigation going on in neuroscientic studies of consciousness, where 1st person reporting of a subject's experience is indispensable to that investigation while not taking it at face value. That reported experience might not be accurate in itself depending on the subject's manifest image, but as I said, that image can be educated by the scientific image to more accurately interpret that valid experience.
