Packaging Design Awards
The International Packaging Design Awards Formally Recognizes The Best Package Designs Worldwide, An Excellent Promotion Opportunity For Package Designers
Packaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use and packaging also refers to the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells the product. In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use through restrictions. Packaging, is the sales person of a product; it is the clothing of a product. Good packaging design makes a product sell faster, more expensive, and in higher quantities.Best Packaging Designs ensure the package is not only visually appealing (if not stunning) but the best package designs perfectly contains, protects, preserves, help transports the products and informs the consumer about the contents in the fastest and clearest way possible. Making better packaging means a more sustainable world, longer lasting products, and less waste, thus in an effort to improve society, the International Packaging Design Awards IPDA were born.For IPDA, Packaging must enticing, it must carry the corporate identities and values, and reflect such values to the consumers. Good packaging attracts attention from not just the consumers who need to purchase the product, but also those who were actually not thinking of a purchase decision. IPDA Awards are a worldwide competition recognizing the best product package design.Entries of packaging design, packaging graphics and packaging materials are assessed in the IPDA packaging design award. Packaging Design Entries are judged by a highly esteemed panel of industry experts, and awarded based on creativity, technology, sustainability, 3R principles (reduce, recycle, reuse), visual appeal, marketability, and innovation. IPDA participants include manufacturers, product developers and designers from large international companies, agencies and small and medium sized enterprises since it is an annual run competition for brand owners, designers, retailers, manufacturers and raw material suppliers to enter their packaging creations and concept ideas.Packaging design award winners will be given an extensive award package which includes public relations campaign, the annual yearbook, and exhibition in Italy. The IPDA packaging design award focuses on the emotional and functional qualities of packaging designs, evaluating aesthetics, ecological and economic viability of the proposals.IPDA packaging design awards invite you to join thousands of other creative professionals who have been recognized by international design competitions over the years.

Reality Check: Ramen Burger at Lotteria in Japan
Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot.
We've given you a preview of Lotteria's Ramen Burger, and even shown you how a guy ate one with ten extra portions of ramen. Now it's time for a review.
Lotteria is a fast-food chain in Japan (with other outlets in East Asia) serving up its special Ramen Burger for a limited run, just until mid-June. I was lucky enough to be in Tokyo as the promotion started, hitting up a Shinjuku location that offers only 100 burgers per day (some shops sell only 50). I was excited to try this. Ramen and burgers are two of my favorite foods. Combine them, and what could go possibly wrong?
Just about everything.
Actually, the individual components aren't bad. The chashu is moist and tender enough, with a layer of fat and good pork flavor. It's braised in soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and bonito flakes, with a sweet tare sauce added. The ramen "patty," which is boiled and lightly charred, comes from Menya Musashi—a quality ramen chain in Tokyo with its flagship in Shinjuku. Hiding beneath the noodles is Japanese mayonnaise, almost always a welcomed ingredient. The bun itself is simple and soft, exactly what I want for a burger, in contrast to brioche buns, which can both get in the way and fall apart. On the side is a cup of "special soup" with bonito flavoring.
Put it all together, though, and the sandwich is sad. The carb-on-carb action falls flat, bland in comparison to the more readily available yakisoba sandwich with its fried noodles, pickled red ginger, and yakisoba sauce seeping into the soft bun. The chashu is too small, not making its presence felt in enough bites. And I didn't know what to do with the soup. Dip the sandwich, au jus-style? That's too awkward. Dip some excess noodles, tsukemen-style? That pulls too many noodles from the burger. Turns out, I later learned, that the soup is just for drinking. (Unless you do kaidama, ordering extra patties at 100 yen apiece, which you then dip in the soup.)
I think Lotteria's Napoli Panda Burger (with spaghetti and cheese) might be a better bet. It retains the beef patty, with tomato and cheese adding umami that's missing in the Ramen Burger. And it's half the price of the Ramen Burger, which at 634 yen (634 in Japanese is mu-sa-shi, in honor of the noodle source) is pretty expensive for a fast-food product. For that money, I could almost buy a regular bowl of ramen at Menya Musashi, not far from this particular Lotteria. Gomen nasai (I'm sorry).

My neighborhood is primarily Catholic with some jewish folks and other christians sprinkled around.
Recently a neighbor started circulating an email about a group home that was slated to move into the neighborhood. It was a home for mentally disabled pregnant girls. The girls would come to live in the home during their 2nd trimester and stay there until their babies were a year old. The babies would be put in foster care and the moms would go to some other care facility afterward. There would be aid workers, nurses, caregivers for the babies, and several other professionals on staff at the home.
Am I crazy to be the only person in my neighborhood to support this group home? I live in a great neighborhood - it is near a bus stop, but quiet and safe, it has good sidewalks for strollers, and the group home property had a fenced in back yard for its residents.
My neighbors freaked out, mob mentality really, twisting "mentally disabled" into "mentally degranged". They said it wouldn't be safe to let our kids play outside anymore, our property values would drop, our neighborhood would be going to hell. They felt the whole property should be fenced to prevent the residents from roaming the neighborhood.
No one knows the extent of the disabilities of these girls, but really, where is the charity? Does the bible teach the "Not in my backyard" attitude?
The home has since been run out of town (the neighbors bombarded the mayor with letters of complaint. shortly after another home to house abused kids was proposed down the street, and was also swiftly rebuked. Very sad. This neighborhood has so much to offer, just not to those who need it the most.
Views: 222
We have such a culture of fear to the point where people actively seek out things to be afraid of without bothering themselves about facts and all that. Anyone that doesn't look exactly like us is treated as something to fear or loath instead of someone in need of empathy and caring.
Reminds me of this quote that has been going around lately:
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it."
― Stephen Colbert
I don't get it. A home for pregnant women sounds wonderful. The big problem would be becoming attached to the kids and then having them leave. We have a home for mentally impaired around the corner from us and it's fine. No problems at all. We used to have the MARC building in our neighborhood too (Association of Retarded Citizens - their name). Again, no problem. They're just people.
But maybe that's the problem. If you think people are basically bad, then you don't want them to live near you - any person - they're all bad.
On the other hand, if your neighborhood is filled with angry judgmental people, it's probably just as well. Helping Homes should be placed where the neighbors are supportive.
"Helping Homes should be placed where the neighbors are supportive." ooooo that's an excelent point! kudos :) The women prob. have enough going on, they don't need new angry neighbors too!

C.D.S. Newsletter April 2012
TRACE 700 Version 6.2.8 Available
TRACE 700, Load Design, Load Express, and Chiller Plant Analyzer updates are now available. The articles below detail the newest features in version 6.2.8. View the complete list of changes.
- Single Zone VAV System
- Dual VAV Control Strategy Added
- Two Ice Storage Templates Added to Chiller Plant Analyzer, TRACE Plant Wizard
- New COMNET XML File Export Functionality
- Equipment Added to Libraries
The single zone variable-air-volume (SZVAV) system type has been added to TRACE to provide our customers with the latest HVAC design functionality. Single zone VAV is a prescriptive requirement of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010, Section 188.8.131.52. ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 will be a prerequisite to achieve LEED 2012 certification. Effective January 1, 2012, both ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and California Code Title 24-2008 extend the requirement for the inclusion of VAV to single zone direct-expansion units greater than or equal to 110,000 Btu/h.
For more information about the requirements, refer to the
- ASHRAE 90.1 Addenda [PDF] (refer to Addendum N on p. 50)
- California Code Title 24 [PDF] (refer to Section 144-L on p. 108)
System Description
A single zone VAV system consists of a variable-volume fan, a direct-expansion or chilled-water cooling coil, and a heating coil. A temperature sensor in the zone is used to directly vary the volume of supply air delivered by the fan. Just like in a conventional VAV system, cooling capacity is modulated to maintain the discharge-air temperature at a setpoint. This system is mainly applied in zones where occupancy varies throughout the day, such as gymnasiums and auditoriums. Compared to a constant-volume system that is often used for large zones such as these, a single zone VAV system results in fan energy savings at part-load conditions.
Selecting it in TRACE 700
The single zone VAV system is available on the Create
Systems-Selection screen. Click Variable Volume in the
System Category box and Single Zone Variable Air
Volume in the System Type box. On the Fans tab,
select a variable-volume primary fan.
The coils and fan are located at the zone level. If the rooms are assigned directly to the single zone VAV system, then an air-handling unit is assigned to each room. If you have more than one room served by the equipment, create a zone for the system and assign the rooms to that zone.
Dual VAV Control Strategy Added
The new dual VAV control strategy is a method to control VAV
terminal-reheat units in TRACE 700. Previously in TRACE, you could
only specify the minimum amount of main supply airflow for a
variable-volume terminal box, which applied to both the cooling and
heating modes. With this update, we have added new fields for the
cooling VAV minimum and heating VAV maximum setpoints. TRACE can then
determine the airflow damper modulation for each mode of
The new fields, Clg VAV min and Htg VAV max, are located on the Airflows tab of Create Rooms and Create Templates. (They replace the VAV Minimum Rate field.) Select the values and units for each field, as well as the schedule and type.
How does it work?
When the zone requires cooling, the primary airflow is varied
between maximum and minimum cooling airflow, as required to maintain
the desired temperature in the zone.
When primary airflow reaches the minimum cooling airflow setting, and the cooling load continues to decrease, the heating coil is activated to warm the air to avoid overcooling the zone. As more heat is needed, the controller resets the discharge-air temperature setpoint upward to maintain zone temperature at setpoint (dark, dashed line in Figure 1), until it reaches a defined maximum limit. The discharge temperature is limited to minimize temperature stratification when delivering warm air through overhead diffusers.
When the discharge-air temperature reaches the maximum limit and the zone requires more heating, primary airflow is increased until it reaches a maximum heating airflow setting, while the discharge-air temperature setpoint remains at the maximum limit (see Figure 1).

Two Ice Storage Templates Added to Chiller Plant Analyzer, TRACE Plant Wizard
The newest EarthWise System from Trane, the Ice-enhanced,
Air-cooled Chiller Plant, simplifies the design and
implementation of an ice-storage system. By limiting the scope to a
specific style of chiller, Trane has identified the repeatable system
aspects to help HVAC designers compress the time from idea to
commissioning. This EarthWise system offers pretested configurations
for air-cooled chillers and ice tanks integrated with customizable,
preprogrammed system controls.
In order to support this new EarthWise System and allow customers to analyze its energy and economic impact, two templates have been added to Chiller Plant Analyzer as well as the TRACE Plant Wizard. The first template is a single air-cooled chiller and the second is a set of air-cooled chillers in parallel. Both have the chillers located upstream of ice in a partial ice storage system.
Library members have been included to ensure ease of modeling:
- Equipment Schedules
- Thermal Storage Schedules
- Time-of-Day Schedules
- Heat Rejection Equipment
- Cooling Equipment
- Thermal Storage Equipment
Template Assumptions
The following assumptions are included in the template:
- Schedules included in the library include ice tank discharge from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and complementary time-of-day schedules and utility rates.
- Cooling equipment library members include individual chillers
for ice-making and chiller only mode, and one for chiller plus ice
discharge operation.
- The equipment is then switched on and off, using equipment schedules, to allow chiller efficiency to improve during ice-discharge mode accounting for higher leaving chiller conditions.
- Chiller defaults assume 40°F delivered to the system, with a 16° ΔT at 95°F ambient and a 10°F maximum chilled-water reset.
- Default
entries for the chiller and thermal storage:
- Because the design is intended to represent partial ice storage (the ice and the chiller work together to serve the peak building load), the total chiller capacity is defaulted to 65% of the calculated or entered system load.
- The chiller's tank charging capacity was determined using chiller selection software at the average charge condition temperatures of 24°F leaving fluid temperature and 80°F entering air temperature, and was set at 51% of that same reference capacity.
- Default thermal storage capacity was determined based off of an 8-hour charge and a 6-hour discharge.
- The default multiplier, 560%, was determined using a conservative Tank charging rate of 46% Plant Capacity. To ensure an accurate representation in your model, it will be important to pay close attention to your thermal storage values. When calculating thermal storage capacity, take note that TRACE references the cooling capacity for the thermal storage multiplier.
- One of the chillers (or two in the two-chiller model) is used to charge the tanks, and the other is unavailable during charge mode; charging tanks requires assigning thermal storage at the plant level.
Editing Templates
In Chiller Plant Analyzer, the thermal storage defaults may be
edited by selecting the Cooling Equipment tab of Create
Plants, then clicking Controls and Cooling Plant and
Geothermal Controls. In TRACE, you can also reach this entry
from the Plant Ctrl button on the Configuration
Because the thermal storage system is very sensitive to these entries, we recommend editing them to reflect actual chiller capacity and efficiency in the three different modes, as well as the ton hours of thermal storage capacity that can be charged by the selected chillers in the amount of time scheduled to charge the tanks. Careful iteration between the results and the entries will help you home in on the correctly sized system, reflecting both the actual load profile and economic factors.
New COMNET XML File Export Functionality
TRACE 700 can now export a file that can be imported into the
Commercial Energy Services Network (COMNET) website to generate a LEED
report and curves.
After a LEED simulation has been calculated in TRACE, the COMNET XML file can be exported using the following procedure:
- On the File menu, select Export and click COMNET XML.
- Complete the fields on the COMNET LEED Project Information screen. Note: Some information may be copied from the LEED Settings section.
- Click OK to generate the file. The file will be located in the same directory as the project file and will have the name COMNET appended to it (e.g. filename_COMNET.xml).
- Launch the COMNET website and login or create an account. You may be required to link to your LEED Online credentials.
- Launch the portal and select your LEED project. Upload the XML file generated by TRACE 700.
New equipment types have been added for single-zone VAV systems and
variable-speed water-source heat pump systems.
We added the following equipment to the Cooling Equipment Library:
- Trane IntelliPak VAV Rooftop
- Trane Voyager VAV Rooftop
- Water-Source Heat Pump - Variable Speed
We added the following fans to the Fans Library:
- Trane IPAK SZVAV Fan
- Trane Voyager SZVAV Fan
- Heat Pump Supply Fan - Variable Speed

Prevalence of angina in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Arthritis Research & Therapy volume 14, Article number: A62 (2012)
1114 Accesses
1 Citations
The study of coronary artery disease (CAD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has become increasingly important with evidence indicating a relationship between cardiovascular disease outcome and chronic inflammatory conditions [1]. Since anginal chest pain (CP) is a frequent clinical symptom in patients with CAD, it is important to estimate its frequency among SLE patients. The Rose angina questionnaire and the Diamond-Forrester index are widely used tools to assess angina in the general population but have not previously been used to measure angina prevalence in SLE [2, 3]. We conducted a pilot study on the prevalence of self-reported CP in patients with SLE.
Informed consent was obtained from consecutive adult SLE patients presenting to a rheumatology practice between January 2010 and April 2010. All patients were assessed by American College of Rheumatology criteria for SLE and confirmed to have SLE by the rheumatologist and by chart review. Two self-administered questionnaires were completed on a single visit. The Rose angina questionnaire assessed whether patients have ever had CP or angina and the Diamond-Forrester index ascertained whether patients were experiencing current angina. For data management and statistical analysis, SAS 9.1 and STATA 10 were employed. The confidence intervals represent Wald confidence intervals of the proportion ± 1.96× standard error truncated to zero or one in cases where the limits have been outside that range. Atypical or typical angina by the Diamond index was considered angina.
A total of 150 SLE subjects were enrolled (94% female, mean age 43 ± 13 years, mean disease duration 12 ± 9 years). Ninety-six subjects (65.8%; 95% CI = 58.0 to 73.5) indicated they had ever experienced CP. A history of angina by Rose angina questionnaire was reported in 18 patients (12.3%; 95% CI = 6.9 to 17.7). Thirty-one (21.2%; 95% CI = 14.5 to 27.9) patients indicated they were experiencing current CP and were administered the Diamond index; 12 (8.2%; 95% CI = 3.7 12.7) subjects had current angina by Diamond index, including two patients (1.4%; 95% CI = 0 to 3.3) with typical angina. No relationship was found between age or disease duration and scores on either questionnaire.
Our data indicate a 12.3% prevalence of ever having had angina, and an 8.2% prevalence of current angina. A recent meta-analysis of worldwide responses to the Rose angina questionnaire found the population weighted mean of angina prevalence to be 6.7% in women and 5.7% in men [4]. It appears that the prevalence of angina history in SLE patients is approximately twice that in the general population.

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•The Phillies completed a sweep of the Braves, pretty much ending any drama in the NL East. Unless Michael Vick is named their fourth playoff starter, though, most Philadelphians might not notice.
•Speaking of which, the Eagles are fielding calls from teams about Kevin Kolb, the starter-for-life-for-whom-they-forced-out-a-local-legend. So in the end, they didn't just get two picks for forcing McNabb out of town. It'll really be three or four.
•The dust has settled, and Vincent Jackson remains a Charger. Well, a Charger holdout. The Vikings, Redskins, Seahawks and Rams, among others, made what Jackson's agent called reasonable offers, but no dice. One GM allegedly even pulled out the "Lord of No Rings" quip. When asked about all this, Philip Rivers made a goofy face.
•Bucs safety Tanard Jackson failed a drug test, his third, and will miss a full year. Which is a shame, because Tampa Bay is on pace to go 19-0.
•In the only division race in baseball, the Padres leapfrogged back into first with a win and a Giants loss. Yes, David Eckstein was involved.
Yeah, it's us again, for the next year. Sorry about that.

Like many of you, I got a kick out of flying to my house the very first time I used Google Earth. But after I'd had enough of zooming, tilting and panning around my neighborhood, I wound up asking myself, "What next?". I knew that Google Earth could take me virtually anywhere I wanted to go. But West London, England, is where I grew up — before I sought out new places, I wanted to see what Google Earth could show me about my own home turf that I didn't already know. As it turns out, it showed me quite a bit, and it was turning on the Google Earth Community layer that really made my neighborhood come alive.
The Community layer showcases placemarks posted to the Google Earth Community by users: Google Earth fans who seek out the coolest places and want to share them. These range from natural phenomena visible from above, to the biggest man-made structures that represent the greatest engineering feats. Near my home, however, I found that the Community layer revealed places of historical interest that I never even knew existed: a centuries-old pub that's played host to both King Henry VIII and the Rolling Stones, the apartment where Bob Marley lived in 1972, and the site of Chelsea Manor — a 16th-century palace that was demolished in the early 1700s.
For me, these fascinating finds represented the coolest thing about Google Earth: its ability to combine local knowledge with the best satellite imagery and make it available to everyone. I was eager to participate and share some information of my own, but I wasn't sure where to start. I remembered that renowned mystery writer Agatha Christie used to live in a cottage a few blocks from my house. Not finding it in Google Earth, I thought this placemark could be of interest to mystery buffs and budding local historians alike. Here's how I added it to the Google Earth Community:
1. After making my placemark in Google Earth, I right-clicked on it and clicked Save As to save it to my computer as a .kmz file (the standard file-type for placemarks).
2. I then visited the Google Earth Community to look for a place to post my placemark. I chose the forum 'People and Cultures.'
3. I clicked New Topic and filled in the blanks, making my subject 'Agatha Christie's house.' I added a description of my placemark, a short biography of Christie, and included an image of the author herself.
4. Time to attach my placemark! I clicked file manager and used the Browse button to find where I'd saved my placemark on my computer. I then clicked Add File, then Done adding files. I then previewed my post to make sure it looked the way I wanted it to.
5. I clicked Submit.
It's that simple! The Community layer is updated about once a month, so hopefully you'll be able to view my very first shared placemark soon, at 58 Sheffield Terrace, London, England. If there's a place you want to share with the world — from the huge and unusual half way around the world to something cool and unique in your own home town — the Google Earth Community is a great way to do it.

Inspections and Enforcement
The Region 9 UST program has direct enforcement authority over tribes and island territories.
Our enforcement program is designed to ensure that owners/operators of UST systems comply with the requirements of the law (RCRA, Subtitle I) and UST regulations found at 40 CFR 280. Our goal is to ensure that UST systems are installed, operated, maintained and closed in compliance with UST regulations to prevent harm to others and the environment. To achieve compliance, we conduct inspections, use enforcement actions and provide compliance assistance. Compliance with UST regulations not only protects human health and the environment, it makes good business sense too.
Tribal Lands
Inspectors work directly with 50 tribes who operate UST service station facilities. EPA inspectors perform joint inspections with tribal environmental staff. Most inspections are aimed at providing compliance assistance to owners and operators of sites. When repeated violations are found, field citations - which resemble "traffic tickets" - are issued on the spot. More serious violators may be issued enforcement orders and more severe fines. Inspectors also look for abandoned sites where tanks left in the ground may pose an environmental risk to the land and communities. EPA provides grants to tribes to help support their environmental programs in doing capacity building, training, and Corrective Action assistance.
EPA also provides funding to the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) which is used for inspector classroom training and field compliance assistance for facility owner/operators and tribal staff.
For general Tribal information, including maps of reservations, see EPA Region 9 Tribal Program Office.
Island Territories
The Pacific territories of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Guam have seen significant increases in UST compliance rates.
Beginning January 2001, EPA conducted 19 UST facility inspections in American Samoa, finding 18 facilities out of compliance with release detection, release prevention, and financial assurance requirements. Using a combination of compliance tools, including partnering with the local EPA; writing field citations; issuing consent agreements; and developing media releases, EPA was successful in reaching 95 percent significant operational compliance rates with release prevention and release detection requirements.
In CNMI, every UST facility is inspected on a yearly basis by either the local environmental agency or EPA. EPA has issued a number of field citations and one consent order on Saipan. To leverage local resources, EPA inspectors also serve as hands-on training for the CNMI environmental staff.
Even though there is still much work to be completed on Guam, EPA has been working for the past five years to help owners at over 250 facilities meet the UST requirements. As a result, almost all service stations and military bases there are in significant operational compliance with release prevention and release detection requirements. EPA's main focus now on Guam is the large universe of non-marketers.

TORONTO - Winning races and championships won't satisfy James Hinchcliffe — he wants to leave a bigger mark on Canadian motorsports than wearing the flag on his firesuit.
It may seem like a stretch for a 26-year-old in his third season to be thinking about his legacy. But Hinchcliffe has other things on his mind than the weekend doubleheader at the Honda Indy Toronto, like making sure he isn't the last Canadian to drive an IndyCar.
The first step is a desire to give young drivers a place to train and learn the business.
"I want to be very involved in the grass roots level of the sport," said the Oakville, Ont., native. "I want to start a carting series and I want to help young kids from Canada graduate through the ranks because I didn't have a lot of people to ask questions of and get advice from and I want to offer that to kids."
It's all just theory so far, but Hinchcliffe is sincere. He recalled the struggles he had coming up through the ranks, and that he and his father Jeremy did it by themselves.
Securing sponsorship, the only way a driver can get a ride, remains difficult for Canadians in a market where open-wheel racing is a niche sport. Hinchcliffe doesn't worry about sponsorship now with the high-profile backing of the Internet domain company GoDaddy, but it wasn't so long ago that he had to hustle for support in junior categories where television coverage doesn't exist.
"Very difficult. I was lucky that I was preached to at a young age how important it was to be savvy with the sponsorship side of things, pay attention to the off-track as much as the on-track and being a good driver is no longer enough to be a professional," said Hinchcliffe.
The Andretti Autosport driver, who has three victories in what has been a breakout season so far, is the most popular of a thin crop of Canadian drivers. The only other Canadian driver competing in IndyCar is veteran Alex Tagliani of Lachenaie, Que.
In the developmental IndyLights series, Matthew Di Leo of Barrie, Ont., and Mikael Grenier of Stoneham, Que., have made infrequent appearances. In Europe, Bruno Spengler of St-Hippolyte, Que., is the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters champion while Robert Wickens of Guelph, Ont., also competes in the popular touring car series that gets no exposure in Canada.
Even IndyCar is now limited to just the annual event in Toronto after the Edmonton Indy was scrapped last year. Hinchcliffe said he thinks three races is ideal for Canada, and pointed to Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary as possible sites.
"We have great fans up here. ... I think that the series could benefit greatly. I mean, as unbiased as possible, I would love one or two more races in Canada, absolutely," he said.
Hinchcliffe's season as been sink or swim, with unlikely victories followed by plenty of disappointments. He opened the season with his first-career victory at St. Petersburg in March, then made a slick pass on Takuma Sato on the final lap to win at Sao Paulo in May. Last month, he led all but 24 of 250 laps to take the checkered flag at Iowa.
Despite leading the series in wins, Hinchcliffe is just fifth overall. Crashes at Alabama, Long Beach and Sunday at Pocono, where he hit the wall on Lap 1, have made for what he calls a bittersweet season.
When things are good, Hinchcliffe credits the addition of race engineer Craig Hampson to the team's success. Hampson, who won four straight Champ Car titles with Sebastien Bourdais, worked with Hinchcliffe at Newman/Haas Racing in 2011 when the Canadian was named Rookie of the Year.
When that team folded, Hampson joined Andretti for 2013.
"Yeah, we've been going steady for two years now. It's getting pretty serious," Hinchcliffe cracked.
"We have an understanding," added Hinchcliffe. "We speak the same language. We're both realists. He's maybe a little bit more of a pessimist than I am. But at the end of the day we have a very common goal and we're both willing to work very hard to achieve it."
The pair have two chances to make a breakthrough at the doubleheader in Toronto. Hinchcliffe made contact with Toronto's Paul Tracy in 2011 and was knocked out of the race again last year with engine problems.
"The doubleheader is kind of a double-edged sword, because there's two chances to do well but also two chances to screw it up," said Hinchcliffe, who finished 15th and 19th at the season's first doubleheader in Detroit.
He's also feeling the pressure to win in Toronto. Tracy, with two victories, remains the only Canadian to win the event. Tracy's last win was in 2003, and a decade later Hinchcliffe hopes he can win a race he's never had much luck at.
"I don't think you can expect anyone to win any race," he said. "There are so many variables and so many competitive cars and drivers that on any given weekend it's almost impossible to predict the winner. Nobody would have picked Scott (Dixon) to win the race in Pocono, nobody would have picked me to win in St. Pete.
"It's one of those things where our series is so competitive right now there are genuinely a dozen cars that can win on any given race and it's all about how the day unfolds."

I quit because of political conspiracy: Gadkari
New Delhi, Jan 23 : Greeting Rajnath Singh on his appointment as the new president of Bharatiya Janata Party, his predecessor Nitin Gadkari alleged a "political conspiracy" was behind his decision to opt against a second term.
"I congratulate him (Rajnath Singh). I have worked under his leadership... He has the ability to make us win the 2014 election under his leadership," Gadkari said in a speech here.
"As far as the election for a second term is concerned, there had been attempts through a political conspiracy to link me to an issue I was not related to," Gadkari said, referring to the allegations of corruption against him.
Corruption charges levelled against Gadkari include those of improper business dealings as the chairman of the Purti Group and land grab. He has, however, denied all the charges, adding that he is not linked to the Purti Group.
On Tuesday, the income tax department carried out on-field investigations at nine locations in Mumbai that belonged to the alleged shell companies related to the Purti Group. The group, however, said the companies on which the raids were carried out did not belong to it.
"Yesterday, there was a similar attempt and I felt they were trying to malign my party using me," Gadkari said.
He said he wanted to place the interests of his party before him, therefore, he decided not to seek another term.
"I felt the party should come first. The economic situation is bad; inflation is high; foreign exchange reserve is empty; and foreign investment is not coming. In such a situation, if the people look for an alternate, they believe the BJP has the capacity to change the situation," he said.(IANS)

Last year, I wrote an entry which looked at AdMob's monthly Mobile Metrics report and concluded that smart phone platforms from Nokia, RIM and Windows Mobile had a higher share of ads served compared to that of Apple's iPhone. I pointed out that this was not consistent with the browsing market share numbers reported by Net Applications. Well, iPhone has addressed that discrepancy to leave absolutely no doubt whatsover! Just take a look at the March 2009 report from AdMob (left). I have included the March 2008 report (right) as well for easy comparison.
The iPhone and iPod Touch together have a 22% share (more than the rest of the 18 platforms listed in the table) of the 7.65B ad requests made to AdMob – the distant third is the Motorola RAZR platform with a 2.7% share. Contrast this with March 2008 when the RAZR platform had a 5.6% share of ~2.86B ad requests. It is clear that the phenomenal success of Apple's AppStore has a lot to do with the dominance of the Apple platforms. In fact, AdMob reports that applications have had a big impact on the growth of mobile data usage. According to AdMob, in March 2009, more than half of the total number of ad requests for the iPhone came from applications. It is clear that applications (especially the free variety) provide a tremendous opportunity to drive mobile advertising and will benefit ad networks such as AdMob.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, May 20, 2008 – Honda Aircraft Company, Inc., today began European sales of the HondaJet advanced light jet at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) with the announcement that it will establish a new European network of three HondaJet-exclusive sales and service centers to provide sales and service support to its customers in Europe.
Honda Aircraft Company also announced an expansion of its relationship with FlightSafety International, the world's leading pilot training company, to provide its customers with flight training in Europe. Further, Honda debuted a new in-flight entertainment (IFE) system concept with cutting-edge features.
"Europe is one of the world's fastest growing markets for light jets and we have a great number of customers who have contacted us over the past two years about owning a HondaJet," said Michimasa Fujino, Honda Aircraft Company president and CEO. "We approached the selection of our sales and service partners with great attention to detail. And I tried to find people with a challenging spirit, who share our passion for this product and our passion to create a new and higher standard for the private jet aircraft ownership experience in Europe."
HondaJet European Sales and Service Network
Advancing its commitment to provide HondaJet customers with class-leading levels of satisfaction in sales and service support for light jets, the company is partnering with three European companies to establish a network of stand-alone, state-of-the-art centers dedicated exclusively to the sales and service of HondaJet. These new regional facilities are scheduled to begin operation in late 2012 in time for the first European HondaJet deliveries, and will be strategically located in close proximity to customers in the regions surrounding the U.K., Germany and Spain.
Northern Europe and the United Kingdom: Honda Aircraft Company will partner with TAG Aviation SA to establish HondaJet U.K. & Northern Europe at Farnborough Airport, U.K. This HondaJet facility will provide sales and service support for HondaJet customers from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Central Europe: Honda Aircraft Company will partner with Rheinland Air Service GmbH to establish HondaJet Central Europe in Frankfurt, Germany. Central European HondaJet customers from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia will be supported by HondaJet Central Europe.
Southern Europe: Honda Aircraft Company will partner with Aviastec to establish HondaJet Southern Europe in the Madrid area of Spain. HondaJet Southern Europe will accommodate the needs of customers from Spain, Portugal, France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, and Turkey.
New Flight Training Operation in Europe
Honda also announced the expansion of its partnership with FlightSafety International to cover pilot training for all European customers. FlightSafety International is developing a Level-D full-motion flight simulator for HondaJet. The first simulator will be installed at Honda Aircraft Company's new headquarters facility, and a European location will be announced in the future.
"We are pleased to offer our European customers the world's highest quality of pilot training through our partnership with FlightSafety International," Fujino said. "This symbolizes our commitment to provide class-leading support in every aspect of the light-jet ownership experience."
New HondaJet Entertainment Concept
Honda further unveiled at EBACE a cutting-edge in-flight entertainment (IFE) system concept. The system offers passengers personal control of in-cabin video and audio entertainment, climate systems, and cabin/cockpit communications through high-definition touch panel displays. The touch panel displays deploy from the ceiling and provide passengers with access to video and audio programs.
"I hope this cabin mockup demonstrates how we are working to innovate every aspect of the customer experience," said Fujino. "We look forward to receiving customer feedback on the system."
About HondaJet
Honda Aircraft Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., began sales of the advanced and innovative HondaJet in October 2006 in the U.S. and has quickly amassed orders for well over 100 aircraft. HondaJet is Honda's first-ever commercial aircraft and lives up to the company's reputation for dynamic performance together with superior efficiency. "When I designed the HondaJet, I did not compromise performance and comfort. I did not compromise cost and quality. The concept for HondaJet was to offer both high speed performance and high fuel efficiency with superior comfort," said Fujino. Offering class-leading performance, fuel efficiency, interior cabin space and cargo capacity, HondaJet offers European business and personal light jet owners and operators a maximum cruise speed of 420KTAS (773 kph / 483 mph) and luxurious accommodations for five passengers and two crew in its executive configuration, including a fully private lavatory.
HondaJet incorporates many innovative technological advances in aviation design, including a unique over-the-wing engine-mount configuration that dramatically improves aircraft performance and fuel efficiency by significantly reducing aerodynamic drag in flight. This innovative approach to airframe design also lowers ground-detected noise when overhead and allows for a more spacious cabin and greater cargo capacity. HondaJet is powered by two highly fuel-efficient GE Honda HF120 turbofan jet engines.
Honda Aircraft Company anticipates its first test flight of a conforming model in early 2009, with the overall timetable calling for the achievement of U.S. Federal Aviation type certification in 2010. The company is scheduled to begin deliveries of HondaJet to U.S. customers in 2010. Significantly, Honda is concurrently pursuing European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification with FAA certification.
All HondaJet deliveries worldwide will take place at Honda Aircraft Company's new world delivery center, currently under construction along with its new world headquarters, R&D facility and production plant at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S. The world headquarters and R&D facility are scheduled for completion in summer 2008, with the production plant and delivery center scheduled to be completed in late 2009.

New York @ Night: April 2014
Posted by admin under Jazz, Music, New York at Night, The New York City Jazz Record
Comments Off on New York @ Night: April 2014
From the April 2014 issue of The New York City Jazz Record.
The clarinet looms large in Chris Speed's work, though he spent the first two nights of his residency at the Stone solely on tenor saxophone. In the last of four trio sets with bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Dave King (Mar. 12), Speed focused mainly on music from his new Skirl release Really OK, sitting in a low chair with the bell of the horn far away from the mic. "It's nice to play some swing music here at the Stone," he said after a loping, slower-than-usual reading of John Coltrane's "26-2" came to a close. "All of Me," the similarly relaxed and swinging finale, was also something you wouldn't expect under this downtown roof. But the opener, a brief and agitated take on Albert Ayler's "Spirits," fit like a glove. Regardless of source material, the trio brought to bear a unified aesthetic, rooted in Speed's dark tenor sound and exploratory phrasing. There were two originals from the album played back to back: first the slowly churning 5/4 vehicle "Takedown" and then the brighter "Argento," prefaced by King's incendiary intro on drums. "Transporter," set up by Tordini with resonant double-stops, harmonics and other textures, came from the book of a different project: Speed's yeah NO, a quartet slated for the following night. Some six more lineups would play before Speed's residency ran its course, so the Really OK trio seemed a fine way to limber up. Its loose and effortless interaction, broad dynamic contrasts and controlled wild streak played to Speed's strengths and got at something vital about his artistry. (David R. Adler)
Relationships run deep in pianist Noah Baerman's Jazz Samaritan Alliance, even if the sextet's Jazz Gallery engagement (Mar. 13) was the first live gig of its existence. Celebrating the release of Ripples (Lemel), Baerman opened with the expansive "Motherless" — based on the spiritual "Motherless Child" — and called upon the prodigious talents of vibraphonist Chris Dingman, alto saxophonist Kris Allen, tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, bassist Henry Lugo and drummer Johnathan Blake. There were rubato passages, unaccompanied spots and tight restatements of the theme, animated by a strutting feel and horn harmonies that recalled classic Blue Note. Baerman's "Peeling the Onion" was funkier, moderately paced, full of rhythmic intricacy and harmonic ambiguity. Guest flutist Erica von Kleist brought an emotional connection to the 3/4 ballad "The Healer," forming a mini horn section with Allen and Escoffery and venturing her own solo just before Baerman's. Two vignettes, "Ripple: Persistence" and "Ripple: Brotherhood," featured modified lineups. The first was a boppish quartet feature for the virtuosic Allen while the second took an atmospheric turn, with Escoffery's soprano sax guiding (and Allen sitting out). "Zaneta," from Dingman's album Waking Dreams, closed the first set in a decisively swinging mood, with Escoffery blowing fiercely once again. As intent as Baerman was on sharing the spotlight, he did plenty to light up the music with his lyricism, drive and confident touch at the keys.(DA)

Post subject: cooking terms
can any one tell me why roasting bags are called roasting bags,they don't roast your food. Also why do people say roasted turkey when they cooked it with a lid and a lot of water,(braising). Learning cooking terms,so any help welcomed.

the claim for "roasting bags" is they keep moisture in while allowing the contents to brown. it's a "marketing" term - I suppose it refers more to use than a technical description.
like "trash bags" - you don't trash the bag (well, in the end you do....) you put the trash in the bag. similarly, if you put the roasting bag in the oven, one could say you're roasting the bag (along with it's contents...)
roasting a turkey / poultry in a "roasting pan" usually involves taking the lid off toward the end to brown the bird nicely. overcooked poultry does dry out; hence the lid.

Could you tell me what method this would be.. I put a turkey in a roasting pan with a lid and put water in it half way up the pan at 350..would this be braising? And if I did chicken pieces in a pan with water up the sides of them at 350 and no cover what method would I call this.

first, as you've read in other places, cooking terms can be lacking a 100% precise "everyone agrees on" definition. famous chefs disagree, especially those who write books, and especially those with outsized egos.
>>I put a turkey in a roasting pan with a lid and put water in it half way up the pan at 350..
interesting idea. add some more water until covered and with good temp control you've got sous vide.... I take it this is a theoretical exercise? I've never heard of any method calling for that.
When I do turkey / chicken in the oven - roasted / baked - whatever - with or without lid, I do not add any liquid at all. some liquid comes out of the bird; if simultaneously roasting vegetables, some liquid may come out of those.
I can imagine filling the turkey pan half full of water could well be a disaster. the water will not boil, so the lower part is cooking at less than 212'F, the upper part - you know, the bit that dries out the fastest... is cooking at oven temp and I kinda' doubt the two bits will be done at the same time. besides, we stuff our turkey and half floating in water would likely make for really soggy stuffing.
so back to the question:
some of the basic options:
pan fry / saute: done with minimal amount of liquid in the pan.
the liquid is usually a fat - but for example you can saute scallops in a non-stick pan with zero added water and zero added fat.
boiling / stewing: the to-be-cooked-thing immersed in water.
between "no liquid" and "immersed in liquid" is "braising"
there is no single set in stone universal agreement about how much of the thing to be cooked should be covered by water to be labeled "braising" - half way up, quarter up . . . the basic principle is to ensure a lot of moisture / humidity surrounds the food - that's the "wet" vs "dry" mentioned in numerous posts.
and it gets worse: poached eggs, coddled eggs, poached fish . . .
if you followed the links you've had some very good info on baking and roasting.
if you are serious about cooking, learn about the dish and how it's prepared because taking every word in a direction or recipe as literal as the "bag doesn't roast" is not going to work out well.
and the next thing you'll need to learn is to throw away the clock and learn how to tell when things are "done" - but that's for later.

I steam poultry and vegetables every week. in a basket type thingie suspended over the boiling water, the food being subjected to live steam.
half or one third submersed in water does not meet my concept of "steaming"
which effectively reinforces the point everyone has been telling you - stop with the letter-for-letter interpretations and learn to cook. you will never learn to cook by reading and analyzing recipes. stop over-thinking things - start doing things - it'll come.

"everyone" are the good folks on the other forums. Norm, Squirrel,
Jana, etc.
the first thing to learn about cooking is there are very very few absolutes. I get the impression you are looking for an absolutely ironclad "correct" definition(s)
cooking pork chops vs. cooking a turkey half submerged in water is not going the change "the term for the method"
and browning something "afterwards" - like letting all the water out of the pork chop pan then continue "cooking" to make them turn color due to heat - is a "separate step and method/term" - are you looking for "one single term agreed upon by the whole world" for that combination of techniques?

I guess I'll chime in... Unlike chemistry or other sciences, cooking and the continued development of the cooking arts is mostly dominated by people who do not place a high priority on making sure the language is well defined and that recipes are not ambiguous due to language. We try our best here, but even then we are hindered by the past and how these words came about.
One example (before I get to your question on roasting) is the U.S. volume measuring unit of the "cup". When I first started the site, international readers would be confused as to how any American could possibly bake anything because to them a "cup" was a generic term and they had small tea cups and large coffee cups and everything in between. I had to repeated explain than in the U.S. the use of the word cup in a recipe, depending on context, could mean the vessel ("pour contents into a cup") or the unit of measurement ("one cup of oil"). Anyway, that's the weird language territory we are walking around in, so keep that in mind as we talk: roasting.
Roasting. At first glance, this is easy to define. To cook meat (and, later, by extension, vegetables) uncovered in an oven. Is this correct? It seems so, but it isn't the original definition or technique. In fact, modern day roasting simply approximates an older cooking technique that originally held the name "roasting" - to cook meat near an open fire (fireplace, campfire, bonfire, etc.) often involving the meat being rotated on a spit to promote even browning. That definition could be up to debate as well since no one formed an international committee (like those governing the sciences) to codify the meaning of the word. For example, if you just held the meat static near the fire, it would cook through but one side would char. Without a rotating spit, is it still called roasting? There's no one here to answer that question definitively and different people will have different answers. For me, it is still roasting - rotating on a spit is just a good technique to employ while roasting over an open fire... a subset of roasting we call "rotisserie". In this case, we were lucky - there are words to help differentiate the two (but we still don't have a term for roasting without a spit... just saying "roasting" doesn't tell us if a spit was involved or not... so maybe, "non-rotisserie roasting"?). Anyway, back to your question:
Oven roasting (as we should call it, but I'm sure I'll slip and just call it roasting after a while) approximate old school roasting by placing the meat in the oven uncovered. The results are similar to fire roasting, so instead of referring to it as "baking" we call it "roasting". Okay, so far... until the introduction of the roasting bag and other techniques used to solve a problem with oven roasting large poultry. Often, people encounter the problem of dry meat in poultry that has been oven roasted. The absurdly high USDA recommended cooking temperatures (165-185F for different parts of chicken meat selected not for food safety reasons because the authors of the standard felt it was unpalatable to eat pink poultry) result in dry meat. A variety of different techniques used to prepare other meats was borrowed to try to reduce this problem. Covering the roasting pan to bake the chicken, adding liquid to the pan to either braise (I'm not going to touch "braise" or this reply will be twice as long) or simmer the chicken, or (miraculously) baking it in a bag. Traditionally, the families that pioneered the first few techniques would still call it whatever they called before. If they called their first version roast chicken, then they would probably called their covered pot version "roast chicken" as well since they probably weren't interested in the specific nomenclature their technique now fell under. As these methods became popular, the name stuck and only a few people make any attempts to try to rectify them. (Occasionally, you'll see a restaurant try to be very specific on their menu: oven roasted vs wood fire roasted vs oven baked. BUT, more often than not in restaurants, they pick cooking terms that SOUND good and may not necessarily reflect how it is actually prepared. This is an especially useful technique if the chef wants you to remember the flavors of one dish while eating theirs made with a different technique. It's not lying or purposeful obfuscation, it's just another tool they have to mold the dining experience. Unfortunately, it does confuse the vocabulary.)
As for the roasting bag that you asked about and I've mentioned briefly, this was an amazing invention / discovery. If you cook poultry in a special type of high temperature safe plastic bag, then you get the results of an oven baked bird, but the exterior of the bird will still brown! MAGIC! (Even more magical is that it ALSO self-bastes. The condensation on the inside of the bag falls back onto the bird!) It is a cross between oven roasting and oven baking, but what to call it? Technically, they aren't referred to as roasting bags - all major manufacturers refer to them as oven bags because they can be used for a variety of different purposes. What do we call the method of cooking used when, let's say, we cook a turkey in the oven when inside an oven bag? Since we're trying to get the end result of a roast turkey and not a baked turkey, we should call it roast turkey, right? So, that's what we call it, even though it is not in the strictest sense "roasting".
Here's another problem that most people don't realize. It's not the same to ask the question: How do you roast a turkey? (Many answers - some including liquid, pots, bags, etc.) versus the question: What is roasting?
Some people (myself included) have a strict definition of the word "roasting" (I might not be able to articulate it, but in my mind it's very stringent - uncovered, no liquid, oven or fire) but the word becomes more flexible when applied to a specific food or dish because of how cooking evolved over time. To be very strict on definitions means that I have to pretend to not know what people are talking about or correct them:
Person: "I like to put a lid over my roast chicken to keep it moist."
Me: "I don't understand... that's like saying you like to divide to multiply. You mean you like to bake your chicken?"
Not necessarily conducive to conversation when that happens. There are other times when we are discussing specific cooking techniques and comparing them and their differences and then using strictly defined language is useful for everyone to understand what we are talking about exactly. Unfortunately, which one (flexible or strict) is usually determined by context and can be confusing with different people (some people are always strict and others always flexible in their use of language).
One final comment about the whole "steaming" thing. I knew what you meant, pj, about how if you partially submerge and cover a bird, then it will be "steaming" because the upper half will be cooked through heat transfer provided by the steam. Unfortunately, "steaming" as a cooking technique's definition (strictly speaking and not flexible/loose) is to cook something solely through the use of steam - so the ingredient should not touch the liquid at all. Also, strictly speaking, cooking an ingredient partially submerged isn't strictly braising (braising involves a browning step). Oh, how confusing it all is!
By the way, we run our own cooking dictionary here that anyone with an account on the forums can contribute to:

thank you for taking the time to explain that. That helped me out a lot.
I wish more people would be that helpful. I know a lot of people don't care about some things like that ,but I do.(but believe me there are a lot of people out there who like to know too, but don't have the nerve to ask). Again thanks.

Michael, thanks for that great post.
. . . would still call it whatever they called before. . . the name stuck and only a few people make any attempts to try to rectify. . .
I was reminded of that when thinking about making "roasted garlic" heads for freezing just last night. I'd assumed I'd wrap each in foil (with olive oil) after topping, or perhaps put all in a covered pot/etc in the oven, then realized I'd be
the heads instead of roasting them.
I'd thought pics I'd seen of cooked foil-encased garlic heads (or ones cooked in those terracotta "garlic roaster" thingies) looked caramelized on the top, and with the papery skins browned more heavily at the top, so assumed they'd been dry-heat roasted...have to look up more pics now to see if that's true. Or perhaps the oil creates that browning if it's there, or just the length of cooking time, or both?
Hmmm... looks like most do have the browning, some don't.

(Because this thread is about what words we use and when, I'll say the following...) In the strictest sense it isn't steaming because there's no source of steam (no water being boiled to produce the steam). When a food cooks in the steam created by it's own juices, it's technically not steaming.
Having said that, I totally know what you mean and with garlic you should have it covered or wrapped in foil or else the heat of the oven will dry it out. The garlic will still brown and a caramelization of sorts does occur even though there is excess moisture. Normally, moisture will prevent the browning of foods because both the Maillard reaction and caramelization occurs at temperatures higher than the boiling point of water, but the browning of garlic is neither one of those reactions. I'm not actually sure what is going on when garlic cooks, so I should probably find out at some point.

Thanks - I've fixed that. The dictionary was a little confused because it thought the first "c" word was cabbage-turnip which redirects to kohlrabi...

Global Vision ... Local Impact
In the mid-1990s, when the founder of Plastic2Oil® was working at the Ontario Legislature he began to notice a trend: an increase in plastic waste resulting from growing plastic generation ... without recycling. Thinking forward, as he so often does, he saw the seed of an enormous problem looming.
In the ensuing 15 years, the problem he foresaw has manifested. Because of the new "disposable mentality" that came with plastic containers, we now are navigating the fallout of an enormous waste plastic problem, on a global scale. It's complex, it's far-reaching and it's intimately tied to politics and economics.
The nugget of the problem that he had been thinking about all these years was what to do with the plastic waste we now generate – in the US alone, over 31 million tons a year are generated with only approximately 8% being recycled (2010).
Over the years, there have been various solutions proposed – diversion, burning, etc.; however, nothing to date has proven to be a truly effective or environmentally responsible solution to the burgeoning global landfill problem. In fact, many existing solutions have been just the opposite: costly, energy inefficient or equally as harmful to the environment as the plastic itself. It's only now, with the Plastic2Oil technology, that there is a solution that is not only economically viable, but that is remarkably simple and "green" as well.
