However, the accumulation of 100 years of organic matter and sulfur compounds in the bottom coupled with summer and winter thermal stratification results in extremely low redox potentials in the bottom sediments and high concentrations of reduced sulfur (S-II). The presence of H2S (g), particularly during lake turnover events has resulted in numerous odor complaints from park visitors and residents living nearby. In addition, fish kills occur during the late summer and through the winter, which has forced water managers to look for solutions to eliminate air quality impacts and protect water quality. As maintenance of aerobic conditions in the hypolimnion is an important consideration for successful lake management, this research focused on the use of artificial aeration to increase hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen levels. The number of aerators was substantially less in number than would typically be used in a lake of this size, because it was hypothesized that by placing the aerators in the deeper pockets of the lake, density differences would cause the heavier bottom water to "flow downhill" toward the aerators, increasing the effective circulation cells of the individual aerators. The experimental method involved monitoring of specific water quality constituents prior to and after the aeration. Preliminary findings show the aeration system significantly eliminated summer and winter lake stratification, reduced the odor problems, improved the water quality, including pH, solids, and nitrogen and phosphorus species
A Review by Kenneth Atkinson of Alexandria and Qumran: Back to the Beginning, by Kenneth Silver
Get PDFKenneth Silver (a.k.a. Kenneth A. K. Lönnqvist), is a historian and professional archaeologist, who has lived and worked for decades in the Near East. With extensive publications on Hellenistic and Roman archaeology, history, and numismatics, Silver is the director of a survey and mapping project in Northern Mesopotamia studying the border zone between the late Roman/ Byzantine Empires and Persia. Author of numerous publications on Qumran and related topics, Silver’s lengthy monograph proposes that the documents and type of library found at Qumran were based on models derived from Egypt. The main thesis of the volume is that Pythagorean philosophy is the core and basis for the beliefs reflected in the non-Biblical texts found at Qumran

The concern over using surrogate parameters is whether they offer the ability to detect contaminants at concentrations low enough to prevent serious illness. The best candidates for water quality surrogates are generally thought to be chlorine residual and TOC, with conductivity, pH and turbidity being less sensitive to many chemical contaminants. All of these surrogate measurements have been in direct response to the chemical contaminant itself. This paper describes research on how the indigenous biofilm in the presence of toxic chemicals may provide an effective, indirect surrogate response with either turbidity or UV254. Rotating annular bioreactors and pipe loops were used to quantify the effect that the biofilm has on the turbidity and UV254 measurements. The hypothesis is that, if toxic chemicals are added to the distribution system, the biofilm would die and slough off to an extent that would change the UV254 absorbance and light scattering of the water so that relatively inexpensive monitors could detect the event. In previously documented work, three reactors with 20 PVC coupons in each were used to acclimate the biofilm for at least six weeks. The number of biofilm cells on each coupon was enumerated using automated fluorescence microscopy. The coupons were submersed into beakers with four potential chemical contaminants; aldicarb, cyanide, arsenate and fluoroacetate. The concentration of the contaminants was less than 1 mg/L, a concentration that was shown to be feasible to achieve in a distribution system in previous research. The turbidity was measured after 1, 8 and 48 minutes to determine the response time of the biofilm to the chemicals. In all cases, the turbidity significantly increased after one minute and in most cases continued to increase at the longer times. The batch data indicate that turbidity may be a useful surrogate monitor for chemical contamination due to die-off of the indigenous biofilms Biofilm slough-off and increased turbidity response occurred in the present study in which a commonly used turbidity monitor and a simple, inexpensive turbidity sensor monitored a simulated distribution system inoculated with five common industrial chemical contaminants. We will detail the results of the pipe loop study at the conference and describe the inexpensive turbidity monitor that has been developed

The implications for ministry of the teachings of Kenneth Cracknell with special reference to former students
No full textTo be effective in ministry in the contemporary religious milieu, today's seminarians, tomorrow's church leaders, must receive more than a mere academic experience; they need practical experience as to how to function effectively within a socially diverse climate of faith. The author documents the long term impact of Kenneth Cracknell's attempts to nurture cross cultural understanding and cooperation within the seminary context. The intent of this exposition is to demonstrate that Kenneth Cracknell has purposefully created a tranformative environment using interfaith dialogue as an effective paradigm for informing today's diverse seminary population. To that end, opinions, reactions and musings of a dozen former students are documented and presented herein as models of appropriate conversation for interfaith dialogue

Food fraud and the Partnership for a ‘Healthier’ America: a case study in state-corporate crime
No full textAt a moment of heightened public concern over food-related health issues, major corporations in the food industry have found their products and practices under scrutiny. Needing to be understood as socially responsible, these corporations have established partnerships with the state to construct a positive, proactive, and cooperative public image. One major public-private partnership that evolved from former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative—the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA)—serves as a case study in this paper, which analyzes the opportunity costs and social harms perpetuated by a public health campaign bound by the imperative to maximize profit. By using trusted state actors to deliver accurate but deceptive claims about food companies’ commitment to public health, this public-private partnership actively misleads the public and potentially exacerbates public health challenges, warranting a skeptical revision of how we understand corporate social responsibility and neoliberal governance on issues of health and nutrition. As a form of fraud, these attempts to mislead the public go beyond the actions of public sector individuals or members of corporate boards, but are structurally incentivized by the legal rights, regulatory privileges, and profit-related incentives central to the modern corporate form. While conventional criminological research tends to underemphasize state and corporate harms, we make use of a critical criminological perspective to analyze state-corporate partnerships in the space between food industry practices and public health policy.Peer reviewe
