I received this book from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

he next highly anticipated novella in the Searching For series, a romantic spin-off of the Marriage to a Billionaire series from New York Times bestselling sensation Jennifer Probst.

When Isabella MacKenzie tries to move on from her disastrous past, Officer William Devine is determined to show her that love is the only way to heal. This sexy enovella, the final installment in Jennifer Probst’s heartwarming Searching For series, follows the high-powered women of the popular matchmaking agency Kinnections, located in the small, picturesque town of Verily, NY.

Searching for Disaster is Jennifer Probst latest book – and sadly the last one – in ‘the Searching For series’. Like the other books in the series, matchmaking company Kinnection and ‘the book of spells’ play a role in the story. This book tells the story of Izzy, the twin sister of Gen (her story is told in Searching for Beautiful) and police officer Liam.

She ached. How long had it been since a man held her? Touched her? Hell, even taken her to dinner or the movies? Too long. Yet maybe not long enough.”

Izzy finally has her life in order again; she has been clean for two years and she has a job at Kinnection, the matchmaking company. As a teenager and young adult she always felt a bit off and restless, leading her to the dangerous path of drugs. Shutting out family and most of her friends, Izzy needs to hit rock bottom before she finally wants to get better. Six years ago Izzy met Liam, but instead of listing to him she made a fatal decision. Liam has always been on her mind, but Izzy believes she doesn’t deserve a good man like him.

“What are you doing here?” Good question. She’d always been direct. He cleared his throat. “I wanted to talk.” She blinked. “About what?” A strangled laugh escaped his lips. His humiliation grew. “About us.” “There is no us.”

Liam works as a police officer in the quiet town of Verily. He’s content with his life; he doesn’t have to deal with the worst people can do and he dates with nice women. But lately Liam wants something more, more with work and more with a woman. Six years ago he had a one-night stand with Izzy, and every now and then he thinks of her, of wat could have been. When Liam sees her at again he knows they might have a second-chance.

Her honesty humbled him. She never flinched when she told him her story, owning her mistakes as well as her triumphs. She had been fascinating and confident when he’d first met her six years ago. Now she was pure magnificence. Real. And the challenge of a lifetime.”

When Izzy and Liam meet again they are immediately drawn to each other. Six years they met at a student party and thought they would have a normal one-night stand. But is turns out it was much more to both of them, over the years they have kept thinking about each other. Liam wants a start-over, but Izzy is still sees herself as an addict. Although she’s clean for two years now, she feels Liam needs a better woman, not somebody with her past. Liam sees past her former addiction, and sees the woman he wants to build a future with. Convincing her of this fact isn’t easy.

Like other Jennifer Probst books Searching for Disaster is a sweet book, with a likable hero and heroine. Since this is a novella, a short story, the rekindling romance between Liam and Izzy progresses smoothly. Yes, there is a bit of angst and a reluctant heroine, but all is solved nicely. I wish the book was longer, to do more justice to the characters and to give more depth to the story.

I’m not weak, Liam. I’m strong. And maybe I screwed up before and didn’t choose you, but dammit, I’ll never make that mistake again. I’ll choose you every time.”

I’ve enjoyed reading Searching for Disaster, but due to my issues I give this story 3.5 stars.

At Roulettenberg, a fictitious spa somewhere in Central Europe, 1865. In the Garden of the Grand Hotel, outside the casino, Alexei, age twenty-five, a tutor to the General’s family, encounters Pauline, the General’s ward, with whom he is in love, and tells her he followed her instructions to pawn her jewelry and gamble with the proceeds -- but lost. The General, a middle-aged man smitten with the much younger opportunist Blanche, enters with her, the coldly shrewd Marquis and an Englishman, Mr. Astley. Questioned about his losses, Alexei claims the money was his own, from the salary he had saved. When the others suggest that a person in his modest position ought not to gamble, Alexei irritablyand replies that life is too short to save money gradually. The General has just received a telegram from "Babushke," Pauline’s Grandma in Moscow, and goes off with the others to send a reply; they are all waiting for the old lady to die and leave them her money so they can gamble with it.

Pauline returns, annoyed that she now cannot repay her debts to the insidious Marquis. Alexei insists on his infatuation with her, but she senses cold greed beyond his hysteria. Their conversation is interrupted by the General, who has just borrowed money from the Marquis and gives Alexei a large bill to get changed. Pauline capriciously dares Alexei -- if he really loves her enough to do anything she asks -- to go and flirt with a German Baroness sitting in the park, thereby annoying her husband. He does so, creating a stir and causing the Baron and Baroness to leave.

In the lobby of the Grand Hotel, the General reprimands Alexei for his behavior. When the young man shows no sign of contrition, the General fires him. Alexei sticks to the view that he should be allowed to act as he wishes without interference. When Alexei leaves for a moment, the General tries unsuccessfully to enlist the Marquis’ help in dealing with him to prevent a scandal. As the two older men move off, Alexei returns, reflecting that everything is Pauline’s fault: it was she who put him up to addressing the Baroness. Astley greets Alexei, and they discuss the cause of the General’s apprehension: he is afraid any scandal might jeopardize his hopes of winning Blanche. At some point, it seems, Blanche had tried to borrow money from the Baron, causing a complaint from the Baroness. Since the Baron and Baroness are important people, the General wants to avoid further offending them. As the two men talk, Blanche passes through in search of the General. Astley goes on to explain that the General cannot propose to Blanche until he gets his inheritance from Grandma. Alexei takes the cynical view that since Pauline too will have an inheritance, she will then fall prey to the rapacious Marquis.

Astley takes his leave as the Marquis appears, bent on controlling Alexei’s behavior at the behest of the General. Finding the young man resistant, the Marquis wonders aloud how best to get around him, then produces a note from Pauline telling Alexei to stop acting like a schoolboy. Alexei calls the Marquis a usurer and a parasite, accusing him of making Pauline write the note. As Alexei leaves angrily, Blanche and the General appear, asking whether the Marquis had any success in dealing with Alexei. The Marquis pretends he had success, then turns to his chief topic of interest, Grandma’s imminent demise: how soon do they expect news of her?

No sooner has the General predicted her death that very night than Grandma’s voice is heard: she has arrived at the hotel, a picture of health. Though she greets Pauline with a certain affection, she quickly sees through the poses of the others. She announces she is over her illness and wants to recuperate at the spa, where she also looks forward to gambling. Blanche suspects the General of false promises, while the Marquis hopes his usual deceit and hypocrisy will be sufficient to deal with the old lady.

In an anteroom of the casino, the General is beside himself: Grandma has been gambling and losing large amounts, ignoring all entreaties to stop. His hopes of success with Blanche are evaporating. When the Marquis steps in to announce that Grandma’s losses are up to 40,000, the General decides it is time to call the police: surely they will see that she is senile and irresponsible, perhaps even send her to an asylum. No such luck, the Marquis assures him. Blanche makes another brief appearance, disillusioned with the General.

When Alexei arrives, the General and the Marquis try to enlist his help in stopping Grandma from ruining them all. Prince Nilsky, who has been showing interest in Blanche, enters the salon and mentions that the old lady’s losses have increased; this causes the General to collapse, momentarily stunned, before running into the casino. Blanche leaves with Nilsky. Alexei ponders the fate overtaking his erstwhile employer’s family: his love for Pauline is the only thing that still connects him to them. Pauline appears, but his words to her are constrained, and the two are soon interrupted by Grandma, who is brought in looking tired. Having spent all the money she brought, she now wants to return to Moscow and has asked Astley to lend her enough for the train fare. When she invites Pauline to accompany her, the girl says she cannot leave just yet. As Grandma is carried off, the General comes back from the casino, fulminating that he has been disgraced by her losses and has lost Blanche to Nilsky.

In his room at the hotel, Alexei finds Pauline waiting to show him a letter from the Marquis. As Alexei reads it, he realizes that the Marquis, pressured by loans he has made to the General, is trying to get Pauline to pay her debts to him by suggesting that if he were forced to sue, her own inheritance would be in jeopardy. Flattered that Pauline has turned to him for help, Alexei runs from the room like a madman.

In the gambling hall, Alexei joins a group of seasoned gamblers who discuss his every play as he wins repeatedly, finally quitting at 200,000. This breaks the bank, and the tables are closed for the evening. After an entr’acte, the other patrons are still discussing his phenomenal luck. Gathering his winnings, Alexei returns to his room, where in a daze he imagines the voices of the croupiers and the comments of his fellow gamblers. In due time he realizes Pauline is there, waiting for him, and he offers her the 50,000 she needs to repay the Marquis. She refuses and asks whether he really loves her. For a moment it appears he is responding: they will go away together. Then, turning harsh again, Pauline demands the money, saying her love is just a commodity. When Alexei hands it to her, she throws it in his face and runs out. Alexei is left alone, dementedly recalling how he won twenty times in a row.

Dog Booties

Sew a pair of durable booties to help keep your dog's feet safe, especially when the ground is muddy, wet, or covered in snow.

dog booties

Photography: Chloe Mackintosh

Source: Martha Stewart

This idea comes from our friend Chloe Mackintosh of Boxwood Avenue. "We've talked about it before in our post about homemade paw balm, but I'll say it again: the winter months can be really tough on dog's paws!" she says. "Not only can the ice and snow damage our dog's paws, but the salt on the sidewalk can dry them out. Making booties for your dog to wear during this season can help protect his delicate paw pads and keep them healthy during the winter months." For this project, she uses water-resistant fabric such as faux leather or durable canvas, plus some durable fabric as the patch on the underside of the boot. These pet-friendly accessories are very simple to make for the cost of a few sewing supplies: faux leather, thread, and a sewing machine. The measurements of these booties will depend on the size of your dog's paw: the fabric should be long enough that when folded in half, it fits like a sock around your dog's paw. For a standard size yellow lab, this was about eight inches on the fold.

For more ideas, scroll through our entire collection of pet care projects and dog crafts.

  • Water-resistant fabric, 1/4 yard (Pictured: Aomry Faux Leather Sheets, 8" x 6", $25 for 24 sheets,

  • Durable patching fabric (Pictured: Waterproof Fabric Canvas, 60", $11 per yd.,

  • Leather sewing needle (Pictured: Tandy Leather Stitching Needles, $4 for 10,

  • Measuring tape

  • Fabric scissors

  • Pinking shears

  • Elastic trim, 6-15 inches (Pictured: NW Elastic Bands Spool Sewing Band Flat Elastic Cord in White, 3/4", $8 for 12 yd.,

  • All-purpose thread

  • Sewing machine and supplies

  1. Measure the width of your dog's paw, adding about an inch of seam allowance. (Note: It's always easier to make this smaller, but once you cut, you can't make it any bigger so be sure to give yourself enough allowance.) Fold faux leather fabric in half, and cut out four strips of fabric following the measurements previously indicated.

  2. Using pinking shears, cut out four small squares or circles from patching fabric. (Note: These will serve as patches on the paw pad so that your dog doesn't slip on ice when wearing the booties.)

  3. Pin the patches into place onto your durable fabric; machine stitch.

  4. Fold and pin 1/2 inch hem on the top of each bootie.

  5. Measure the diameter of your dog's ankle using the elastic strips. Cut the elastic so that it will be snug on the ankle. You want it to be tight enough so that the booties stay on, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Fold the elastic in half and pin just below the hem of each bootie, so that it sits on the "right" side of the fabric.

  6. Fold the booties so that the wrong side of the fabric is showing and trim off the corner of the "toe" so that you can sew in a rounded form.

    dog booties
  7. Machine stitch along the perimeter of the bootie, leaving the top open. When you come to the toe, sew in a curved fashion, similar to a sock. (Note: You may want to backstitch over the elastic to add durability.)

  8. Trim off any excess fabric and turn the bootie right-side out.

Fall Prevention Both Inside and Out

Comments (0)

Preventing fallsIf you enjoy traveling the beautiful covered bridges of our region, then you might want to attend monthly meetings of the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society in Manheim. This public group loves to share information on the history of our bridges and encourages their preservation. We here at Martin Foot and Ankle encourage the preservation of your health and mobility, which is why we share these tips for fall prevention both outdoors and under your own roof.

When getting about outdoors, it helps to be properly equipped. The right footwear is naturally essential, and rubber soles built for traction are ideal. A cane or walker is a wise choice for added stability, if needed. In winter, when snow and ice have built up along paths, consider walking in the grass or soft snow instead of problem areas. If you can’t avoid a slippery sidewalk, some salt or kitty litter can help provide some needed grip.

Indoors, at home, is a more common place for someone to suffer a fall, simply based on how much time we spend there. As such, efforts for fall prevention are best concentrated here. Be proactive in looking for potential hazards, such as carpets or rugs that can bunch up or slide. Tidy up any and all clutter that’s on the floor, especially in well-traveled areas. Proper lighting should be available through the house—most importantly on the stairs—and consider installing grab bars in the bathroom for extra leverage.

If you don’t already own one, a cell phone can be a life-saving item should you suffer a fall and can’t reach a landline. Having a portable phone can also help prevent the need to rush to answer a ringing phone elsewhere in the house.

If you would like more advice on fall prevention, or need treatment for foot and ankle trauma suffered during a landing, we have you covered. Give us a call at (717) 757-3537 to schedule an appointment at one of our offices in Hanover, Lancaster, Lititz and York.

Just 2 hours north of Brisbane and only 40 minutes from the coast you can meet Mary in the unspoiled creeks of Mary Valley Country when launching a kayak or canoe and exploring a stretch of the beautiful Mary River, its tributaries or the vast Borumba dam.

Perhaps you only have a few hours to spare or want an expedition through wild forest habitats. Mary Valley Country offers kayakers everything from gentle paddles to full weekend retreats. Experience the peacefulness of floating on water, breathing in the fresh air while Azure Kingfishers dart about or an endangered Qld Lungfish swims by.

This is the river that spawned a community campaign to save it from damming. The Federal Government quashed the dam on environmental grounds. Practise minimum impact tourism and tread softly, leave no trace.

Robot arm relieves working strain in final assembly

Short delivery times and high quality standards, with simultaneous low production costs, are important characteristics for competitiveness. This is also true for a New Zealand manufacturer of locking solutions and security systems, who achieved greater value creation with just one single robot arm.

In the rapidly growing segment for security solutions, Assa Abloy is active worldwide and a market leader in large parts of Europe, North America and the Asian-Pacific zone. At its production location in Auckland (New Zealand) the firm produces mechanical and electro-mechanical locks, digital door locks, high security doors and metal fittings. This manufacturer has always considered the striving for innovation to be the foundation for future growth.

UR robot puts an end to asymmetrical working strain

In order to keep up with global competition, Assa Abloy NZ considers it essential, besides the leanest possible processes, to have an effective safety-at-work policy, for the basis of any sustainable production is the creation and maintaining of safe working conditions. For this reason, the firm decided to automate a monotonous and physically demanding screwdriving procedure in final assembly. This task has always meant a challenging wrist and shoulder movement for the workers.

When searching for a suitable industrial robot, Assa Abloy NZ tested products from three different suppliers during the selection phase and had the same task carried out by the test devices in the firm’s own works. The collaborative lightweight-construction robots from the market leader Universal Robots convinced the firm. “The scalability and simple programming of the UR5 are unsurpassed. In addition, the solution provides the necessary flexibility in order to automate the most varied tasks in our production at low cost,” explains Marc Simkin, responsible for production technology at Assa Abloy NZ.

Universal Robots is automating realities

Universal Robots is automating realities

03/05/2018 - Mobile plug-and-produce solutions are the need of the hour in today’s hectic production processes. Universal Robotics reveals the perks of these solutions which are highly flexible and easy to integrate. read...

Commissioning the robot without an IT specialist

In contrast to conventional industrial robots, no special robot programmer or IT specialist is needed for the commissioning and handling of the robot models UR3, UR5 and UR10, which are named after the relevant payload in kilograms. With its user-friendly 3D operator surface, every user can learn how to handle the robotic colleague quickly and easily. Motion sequences can be laid down using the intuitive touchscreen tablet in the so-called “freedrive mode”. For this, the user holds the robot arm and teach-in new tasks by leading it physically from one waypoint to the next. This way, the UR robot is ready for action after a short setting-up time.

The Auckland production team responsible for lock bodies is glad that robot colleague Victoria (UR5) has now taken over the strenuous final assembly of these parts.

Assa Abloy NZ employs a total of 250 workers – 140 of them in production. Getting them on board for this automation project was something the manufacturer tackled with humour. “For our production team, we spontaneously decided on a competition for the best name and christened the UR5 ‘Victoria’. Very soon, it was received like a colleague in the production lines,” Simkin reports. Since then, Victoria has been in action in the last working step in assembling lock bodies: with the help of a suction gripper, the UR robot picks up a cover plate, places it on a lock body, and then tightens two screws to join both parts.

Afterwards, the UR5 places the finished element on a conveyor belt which leads to the packaging line. Victoria carries out her work immediately next to her human colleagues – and all without additional protective housing, for after a risk assessment has been successfully carried out, robots from Universal Robots then work immediately alongside humans without the safety cage. For this purpose, they have been fitted with a modern force limiter. As soon as UR robots come into contact with a person, the robot arm, thanks to its patented safety function, stops the movement.

MATRIX Hair Loss

As many as 35 million men and 30 million women suffer from some form of hair loss or alopecia in America. Alopecia (balding) results when the hair we lose is not replaced by new growth. A number of factors can play a role in why a person would get alopecia including; genetics, hormones, environment issues, health conditions, infections, vitamin deficiency, metabolic problems and poor nutrition.

The growth of human hair is an extremely complex process. The body is constantly in a state of growing and losing hair. Dead or damaged hair is shed on a daily basis. All of our hair follicles have stem cells in them that regulate the regrowth of new hair. When these stem cells are dormant, damaged or fail to activate, it causes alopecia.

Therapy for Hair Loss

Regenerative hair therapy is a process to awaken inactive hair follicles by activating or replacing the stem cells in them with younger more active cells.

This is done with a special two phase protocol involving the use of a laser treatment combined with customized injections of mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines and growth factors. The laser procedure helps to direct the stem cells to remain in the scalp area and work with your dormant hair follicles. The regenerative stem cell injections help to stimulate hair regrowth through the creation of new blood vessels and the reactivation of the hair follicles to cause them to enter the growth portion of the hair cycle.

Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that utilizes your body’s own healing components to help regrow hair.

After the scalp has been fully anesthetized with a special ointment, a gentle laser procedure is performed to condition the dermis. Then a custom blend of Mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors is introduced in the dermal layer of the scalp.

What to Expect

  • Pain and swelling for a few days
  • 4-6 weeks new growth begins
  • Multiple Treatments may be needed

Undergoing A Hair Transplant In Santa Monica, California: Follicular Unit Extraction

Are you growing increasingly more uncomfortable with your thinning hair? Thinking about undergoing a hair transplant in Santa Monica?

If so, there are two primary procedures to consider. One of these procedures is known as a follicular unit transplantation, or FUT. The other is known as a follicular unit extraction, or FUE.

In this post, we’ll be discussing follicular unit extractions; comparing their pros against their cons so that you can decide whether or not they are right for you. Let’s get into it.

Pros of Follicular Unit Extraction

There are quite a few advantages associated with follicular unit extraction. Because it doesn’t require as large a donor area as does follicular unit transplantation (FUT), it allows you to take grafts (hair follicles) from more parts of the head.

Since it results in very minimal scarring, most people won’t even notice that you had a procedure done. Your hair will generally cover any scars that might exist.

Dealing with small donor areas, FUE results in only minimal discomfort. Because of this, it typically allows for you to recover in a day or two.

In essence, follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a terrific procedure for those who don’t want to show that they underwent a procedure. By undergoing this procedure as opposed to others, you will likely feel less discomfort, and will demonstrate less noticeable scarring.

Cons of Follicular Unit Extraction

While FUE possesses plenty of pros, it also has its cons. Perhaps the biggest con involved with FUE is that it generally takes a long time to complete. Whereas FUT procedures generally require only one or two grafting sessions, a FUE procedure generally requires 3 or 4. This is because it doesn’t allow for as many grafts to be transplanted in a single session.

Because FUE requires more sessions, it is also generally more expensive. In fact, depending on how many sessions are required, it could be as much as double the cost of follicular unit transplantation.

The Procedure

When you go in for your FUE procedure, you will typically consult with your surgeon first. He or she will likely discuss what is going to happen during the procedure, ensuring that you’re comfortable and ready.

Then, he or she will give you a local anesthetic, numbing any discomfort you might experience during the procedure. It should be noted that, throughout the entire procedure, you will be awake.

Once your anesthetic is working, your surgeon will take hair grafts from the sides and back of your head. He or she will then transplant these grafts to the balding areas of your head. After this has been completed, you will be allowed to leave.

Typically, within a few weeks, the hair which were transplanted to your head will fall out. Your balding spots will then remain bald until a few months later, at which point new hair grows in and remains. Results are generally visible in six months and density in about a year.

For most patients, recovery from FUE is very mild. Generally, patients are back to living their normal lives within a couple days of the procedure.

It is possible, however, to feel some minor discomfort. In most cases, this discomfort can be relieved with an ice pack and a few aspirin.

What Is The Cost Of The Hair Transplantation Process?

There are many factors that must be considered in determining the cost of hair transplantation. The extent of the hair loss and the needs of the client are major considerations including the number of grafts required and the technique utilized whether it is strip (FUT), FUE or Scalp Micropigmentation.

The price for your hair transplant procedure will also vary by country and location. These factors can be easily addressed through the consultation process available at a MAXiM hair transplant center. During the initial consultation, our doctors can discuss primary and supplemental treatment options while taking the goals of the patient into careful consideration.

At MAXiM, a hair transplant and other hair restoration procedures are very affordable. We accept cash, bank checks, wire transfers and credit cards. In the U.S., patient financing is available through third party patient financing companies.

Community Mandala at Mayway

By Mayway Staff
February 28, 2019 No comments

Mayway community herb mandala mandala

  1. a Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe
    1. specifically: a circle enclosing a square with a deity on each side that is used chiefly as an aid to meditation
  2. a symbol in a dream, representing the dreamer's search for completeness and self-unity.

As a meditation on impermanence (a central teaching of Buddhism), after days or weeks of creating the intricate pattern of a sand mandala, the sand is brushed together into a pile and spilled into a body of running water to spread the blessings of the mandala.

We were delighted that many of you joined us for an Open House to celebrate Chinese New Year last month. Visitors participated in creating a community mandala, which was built with herbs instead of sand, and by the skilled hands of local practitioners during the 2 weeks it was set up in our foyer. Thank you!

The idea grew out of the popularity of photos of herb mandalas posted to our social media accounts, and our desire for a more personal connection to our local community of practitioners and students. We also thought it would be a fitting way to start the New Year (traditionally celebrated with community and mindfulness) with a shared experience and meditation using herbs. Mayway’s owners and staff enjoyed the interesting conversations that unfolded as the mandala took shape, and the opportunity to answer questions about our business and herbs.

A ladder was brought, platform set up, camera and photographer climbed up and snapped a few test shots with a phone before moving the camera into place. As the shot was being lined up, a clamp on the platform released and crashed into the edge of the table, upsetting the entire platform the mandala was built on, and scattering herbs everywhere.The detail and creativity that came out of this project astounded us and, after 2 weeks Hugh Lau, our resident photographer and one of the owners of Mayway, set out to create some professional quality images to save this work of art and testament to traditional Chinese medicine herbs.

After a discussion on whether it could be rebuilt, we decided that this was a lesson for us from the mandala, about the joy of community and process, and the impermanence of objects. We let go of the photo and instead took a few moments to reflect on what came before – the coming together of TCM professionals, thoughtful interaction with herbs and enlightening exchange of ideas.

The intent of our Open House event was to connect and share ideas with the people using our herbs, and we feel it was a success from that perspective. We look forward to experiencing this process again together with you all, and in the meantime encourage your comments and thoughts on herb mandalas and more at Facebook and Instagram.

FMS Delhi is the highest RoI B-school with very low fee structure and high placements.

For the benefit of CAT 2017 aspirants, has brought a round of CAT toppers’ success stories alongwith their success mantra that led them to crack CAT with high percentile. In the series we present the success story and CAT 2017 preparation tips shared by Atul Goyal, student of MBA 2017-19 batch at FMS Delhi and CAT topper.

NMATbyGMAC 2017: Registrations open. Apply now. NMAT by GMAC™ exam opens doors to leading management programmes. was your preparation strategy for CAT 2016?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): My overall preparation strategy was to studying less but effectively. I used to spend very less time on doing questions but understanding the basics and the concepts. If I am stuck at some question, I will study the concept first then re-do the question. This helped me in not making the mistakes again. How did you prepare for each section in CAT exam – VARC, DILR & QA? What study materials and books did you use?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): For VARC, I used to read a lot. It does not matter what you read. You can read newspapers, novels or some books. It is one of the best ways to get comfortable in VARC.

For DILR, doing one question per day is enough. You just need to do different types of problems every day. For Quant, understanding the basics is the most important part. Your concepts should be very clear.

I used the study material given to me by my institute IMS. I did not use any other book as books do not matter but how you study does matter. Was there any particular CAT exam section that you were weak at? How did you overcome this challenge?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): I was weak in VARC and I started reading more to overcome the weakness. Communicating in English and watching English shows also helped. Eventually you just need to be comfortable in English. Doing one passage per day is good enough to get hold of comprehension passages. How can candidates use Mock tests better in CAT 2017 exam? What is your advice?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): What I have witnessed is that students give mock tests and then forget about it. This is not the right way. They should go back home and analyze their mistakes first, study the concepts they forgot and re do the wrong questions. This is one way to reduce your chances of making the same mistake again. Did you go to offline coaching centre? What role does a coaching centre play?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): Yes, I went for offline coaching centre at IMS. Coaching centre is important in studying as the teacher can give personal guidance as he will be able to understand you better. You also get the liberty to ask and clear as many doubts as you want. Other than CAT, which exam did you appear?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper):  I appeared for XAT also and scored 99.627 percentile.  Which institutes did you apply for admission?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): I applied for FMS, Old IIMs and XLRI.  Please share your strategy for the CAT Day. What was your last-minute preparation? How did you plan your CAT test taking?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): My last minute strategy was to skim through all the concepts and then give rest to my mind. You should only focus on writing the exam rather than thinking about any college or clearing GD/PI’s. Stress is the last thing you want during the test. Please share your GD/WAT topics & PI questions at different institutes and the ones who offered you admission?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): Most of my GD/WAT topics were current trends like Demonetization and GST. My PI questions included questions like introduction, why MBA, why do you want to shift from engineering to MBA, your hobbies and interests, questions related to them and some technical questions related to Engineering. Most of the questions are based on what you say in your introduction.  Which B-school you decided upon and why?
Atul Goyal (CAT topper:  I decided to join FMS as it is one of the best institutes in India and it has a very large Alma connect. The main focus here is on growth of the students.  Any message you would like to share with the candidates preparing for CAT 2017.
Atul Goyal (CAT topper): Prepare sincerely and even 2 months are not less to score 99 percentile, just be sincere and devote some time every day to your CAT preparation.

Football Camp at Mississippi College Attracts 175 Players

MC Choctaws head coach John Bland helped offer instruction to 175 players at the university's 2018 football camp on June 4.

For Michael Fields, it was practically a Homecoming for the St. Aloysius High head football coach to return to his alma mater in Clinton.

Fields visited Mississippi College’s 2018 football camp to showcase a few players from his team in Vicksburg.

“We came out to support the kids,” Fields said as he exited Robinson-Hale Stadium on Monday. The opportunity for student-athletes on his Flashes roster to upgrade their skills and be seen by college scouts will pay dividends, he believes.

It took less than 40 minutes for his bunch in Warren County to take the drive along I-20 and be in the heart of Blue & Gold country. As Central Mississippi temperatures approached 90 degrees on June 4, Coach Fields arrived on the Clinton campus with lots of good memories.

A 1987 MC graduate, Fields played receiver and running back on some terrific Choctaws football teams under Coach John Williams. During the Williams era, MC logged 124 wins between 1972 and 1990. The former defensive coordinator, Fields was named head coach at St. Aloysius in 2017. He makes it a habit to come to MC football camp with his players every June.

As the two-hours of drills and instruction wrapped up, visitors say the summer camp was worth every minute.

MC Choctaws head coach John Bland and his staff were pleased with Monday’s turnout of 175 high school players.

“It was a great day for our camp,” Bland said. “We had really good participation and got a lot of good work done on the field.”

Bland’s Choctaws staff received help on the football turf. Coaches from the University of Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns team combined with counterparts from the University of South Alabama Jaguars squad.

“There were a lot of good drills,” said Isareal Williams, 17, a Ridgeland High running back. On track to graduate in 2019, he brought home tips that will boost his football skills when the Titans season opens in August.

Some high school players traveled to MC from the Bayou State. They included 17-year-old Zachariah Trujillo of Houma, Louisiana. The rising senior is a running back and linebacker.

“This worked out great,” said Justin Hindeman, 16, an offensive lineman for the Brandon High Bulldogs. His mom, Jennifer Hindeman, says she liked the way the coaches at the three colleges worked well together as instructors.

Off the field, Justin Hindeman shines in the classroom with a perfect 4.0 average. A career in aerospace engineering could happen for the Rankin County resident in a few years.

MC’s football camp proved valuable for other high school players in the region like Joseph Jones at Tri County Academy. The Rebels receiver will be a junior at the Flora school this fall.

Tagging along on the trip, his parents, Jeff and Stephanie Jones, were pretty familiar with the Clinton campus. Stephanie Jones graduated in the mid-1990s at Mississippi College.

Sand Classifying Tanks

Sand Classifying Tanks remove excess water and slimes or undesirable grain sizes from minus 4 mesh or 5mm natural or crushed sand feeds. They are typically used to classify sand for most construction specifications by removing an excess of certain intermediate mesh sizes while retaining finer mesh sizes of sand. Sand Classifying Tanks are often used to classify multiple products from a single sand feed.

Why McLanahan Sand Classifying Tanks

McLanahan Corporation began manufacturing manually adjusted Sand Classifying Tanks in the the 1950s and automated units in the 1960s using computer punch cards in a card reader system. McLanahan was the first manufacturer to offer automated Sand Tanks with programmable logic controllers in the early 1980s.

Today’s Sand Manager™ Classifying Tanks utilise proprietary software to adjust the classifying and reblending processes. As material accumulates at a given valve station, an optimal amount is discharged to each product. The touchscreen control system allows you to change and monitor the amount of sand discharged as your application needs change.

Sand Manager™ Classifying Tanks are designed so that when maintenance is required, operators can access the machine from a full-length control enclosure bridge at the top of the tank. This enclosure located under the walkway is designed to house solenoid valves and hydraulic cylinders that control the discharge valves. A solid steel bottom in this area ensures safe maintenance and prevents components and tools from falling into the tank area. Wear parts, such as valve seats and discharge elbows, are made from wear-resistant polyurethane and can be quickly changed.

How Sand Classifying Tanks Work

Sand classification is based on the different settling rates of various grain sizes. As water and material enter the feed end of the Sand Classifying Tank, coarse sand grains settle first and finer grains settle in successive sizes down the length of the tank. Hydraulic controls at the top of a Classifying Tank operate discharge valves at the bottom of the tank. Each station has two or three discharge valves, depending on the type of control system and the product(s) produced.

Extending from the control enclosure at the top of the tank above each station is a four-bladed paddle near the bottom of the tank that is driven by a torque motor that generates an electrical impulse when sand stalls the paddle. This electrical impulse controls a solenoid valve that directs pressure through a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the rod leading to the valve. When the discharge valves open, sand is directed to a two- or three-way divided collecting flume and then to the associated dewatering equipment. A programmable logic controller is used to determine the amount of sand that is discharged to each cell in the collecting flume.

Classifying Tank selection is based on water handling capacities and tons per hour of sand feed. McLanahan considers two factors when sizing a Classifying Tank:

  1. 8-10 gpm of water is required for every 1 tph of sand feed;
  2. 100 gpm of water is required to remove 1 tph of minus 200 mesh or 75 micron material from the feed.

Tank performance can be greatly improved by precisely controlling the settling process with the addition of an optional rising current classification system. Rising current is produced by metering fresh or recirculated water through the manifold and pinch valve to the specific station. The injection of the water forces smaller, lighter grains of sand into a longer period of suspension, allowing them to be carried further down the tank. This increases product yield when re-blending coarse, intermediate and fine sands for construction grade specifications. An optional pump with a motor, V-belt drive, drive guard and return piping can be supplied to recirculate water into the rising current manifold.

Popular Applications for Sand Classifying Tanks

Sand Manager™ Classifying Tanks are capable of making one or two products for most construction sand specifications and one non-spec product at any one time. To make different products, the tank is designed with two or three valves at each station along the length of the tank, one more valve than the number of spec products desired. The programmable logic controller allows for the production of the specification products by opening and closing the tank’s discharge valves on a percent, time-controlled basis. In many instances after the initial setup, the control system usually does not require further adjustment unless there is a change in the specification products or an extreme variation in the sand feed gradation.

Benefits of McLanahan Sand Manager™ Classifying Tanks

  • Utilises high-pressure hydraulic hoses (not flimsy metal tubing) for safety purposes and ease of maintenance
  • PVC downpipes and urethane elbows are quick to change

Filter Presses

Filter Presses dewater and separate liquids and solids in a wide range of applications. Due to their versatility and reliability, Filter Presses are one of the most widely used pieces of equipment in liquid-solid separation. They dewater material and separate liquids and solids by pumping the slurry into a series of empty chambers that are formed by the plates of the filter press. Each plate is lined with filter media, which determines what particles are dewatered and separated from the liquid.

McLanahan Filter Presses provide customers in many industries with proven technology that is capable of producing a drip-free cake from mining and aggregate tailings, mineral concentrates, and a wide range of waste materials through mechanical dewatering.

Why McLanahan Filter Presses

McLanahan Filter Presses are designed to generate easily managed dry product or waste material. The Filter Press also provides the ability to optimize the recovery of clean, reusable water. McLanahan Filter Presses can address many typical issues associated with fine material processing, including full slurry ponds/dams, high material handling equipment repair costs, limited expansion capabilities, environmental permit restrictions, high waste material handling costs and limited water availability.

McLanahan Filter Presses are used by many 24/7 operations that rely on machine performance and excellent support to keep their plants running and profitable.

McLanahan Filter Presses are engineered using a single hydraulic cylinder. This results in robust and reliable automation capabilities with lower horsepower, fewer control valves and less complexity than multi-cylinder designs. McLanahan’s Overhead Beam style results in faster opening and closing for greater production and better cake release in tailings applications. It also provides larger plate openings for better cleaning and maintenance access. McLanahan’s Side Beam style is designed for concentrates and smaller tailings applications while providing fast plate/cloth removal. It is also more transportable for modular or portable applications.

Unlike the traditional plate and frame presses, McLanahan’s Filter Press line features modern recessed plates or membrane plates, both of which create a chamber for dewatering the slurry without trapping the cakes within the frames. This allows the dewatered cakes to discharge more easily than with traditional plate and frame presses.

Due to the variability in permeability and surface area, each site’s material should be tested prior to sizing a Filter Press for a specific customer application. McLanahan offers experienced lab and on-site pilot testing with a wide range of testing capabilities. Other parameters are used for greenfield sites when testing isn’t possible.

McLanahan’s Customer Service Team offers a wide range of fast spare parts sourcing as well as routine and emergency maintenance service support. All McLanahan Filter Presses can have customer remote control access capability for efficient monitoring and troubleshooting.

How Filter Presses Work

A Filter Press is composed of a support structure holding a series of recessed plates lined with filter cloths. Hydraulic pressure is used to hold the recessed plates tightly together, creating a seal around their perimeters and void spaces between the plates. A high-pressure slurry pump forces slurry into the empty chamber spaces between the plates for dewatering. The slurry solids are captured between the plates, while the clean filtrate water passes through the filter cloth mesh and exits through ports in the filter plates. When the chamber spaces are full of dewatered slurry solids, the slurry feed pump is automatically stopped. The hydraulic pressure holding the plates together is released so the plates can be separated individually, allowing the dewatered solid material cakes to fall by gravity out of the press.

Many people think the filter plates are squeezed together to expel water, but the press never moves during the time of dewatering. The only movements involved occur when the plates separate to expel the dry cakes or close to begin a new process cycle. Plates simply connect to form a seal under hydraulic pressure while the feed pump supplies the necessary pressure to dewater the fine solids.

Filter Presses are designed for simple and limited movement. This design leads to high-levels of automation and reliability. Compared to competing dewatering technologies, higher levels of water removal can be achieved with the Filter Press because the material being dewatered is captured between the recessed plates under the highest possible pump pressures. The Filter Press is also designed for the specific application by selecting the cycle times, cake thickness, feed pressures and plate styles to achieve optimum dewatering efficiencies.

Popular Applications for Filter Presses

Applications ideal for Filter Presses include: tailings or effluent from a mine or aggregate wash plant, mineral concentrates and most underflow slurries from industrial, agricultural or mineral processes coming from a Thickener or clarifier process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What additional equipment should I consider?

Additional equipment to consider includes:

  • Slurry surge tank, mixer, bridge and level sensor
  • Slurry feed pump with VFD
  • Membrane plate water supply tank and water pump
  • Wide range of nylon, polypropylene or polyester filter cloth materials to matched application requirements
  • Cloth washing system
  • Drip trays doors below the filter plates
  • Stainless steel or other materials of construction for corrosion resistance
  • Compressed air system for core blow/cake dry
  • Synthetic and metal filter plate material options
  • Cake dry capable plates can provide additional water recovery efficiency
  • Cake wash capable plates allow for removal of soluble materials from the cakes

What are the factors that affect filtration?

The main factors impacting dewatering efficiency include:

  • Feed slurry percent solids
  • Slurry particle size distribution
  • Chamber thickness
  • Cake percent solids
  • Solid material permeability

What are the pump options for a Filter Press?

  • A lower pressure centrifugal feed pump
  • A high-pressure centrifugal feed pump (two impellors on one shaft)
  • Two centrifugal pumps in series, low pressure pump and booster pump
  • A single positive displace pump
  • A low pressure centrifugal pump in parallel with a high pressure positive displacement

What is the difference between a belt press and a Filter Press?

Belt Filter Press

Slurry is dewatered between two moving synthetic cloths or belts. Water initially is released by gravity then by squeezing the slurry/belts between rollers. The filtrate water is collected below the press unit in a pit. The dewatered cake material is scraped off the belts as they separate at the discharge end of the press. A dewatering polymer chemical is required to flocculate the slurry particles prior to the slurry entering the press. The chemical also aids in allowing the water to release from the solid material.

Plate Filter Press

A plate filter press is composed of a frame holding a series of recessed plates lined with filter cloths. The plates are held tightly together, creating a seal around their perimeters using hydraulic pressure. A high-pressure slurry pump forces slurry into the chamber spaces between the plates for dewatering. The slurry solids are captured between the plates, while the clean filtrate water passes through the filter cloth mesh and exits through ports in the filter plates. When the chamber spaces are full of dewatered slurry solids, the slurry feed pump is automatically stopped. The hydraulic pressure holding the plates together is released so the plates can be separated individually, allowing the cake to fall by gravity out of the press. Typically, no chemicals are required to aid dewatering on a plate filter press.

What is the difference between recessed plates and membrane plates?

Recessed plates are solid plates made of plastic or metal or a combination of metal and plastic. The plates have recessed surfaces, except for the perimeter edge surface that allows the plates to seal against each other when they are clamped together using a hydraulic ram. With the plates held tightly together, all dewatering takes place as a result of the slurry feed pump press.

Membrane plates are similar to recessed plates, having recessed surfaces except for their perimeter edges. The membrane plates are constructed so compressed air or water can be injected inside the plate surface, inflating the plate surfaces. These plates are also held tightly together with a hydraulic ram while the slurry is pumped into the press and dewatered. Once the chambers are filled with dewatered slurry, the feed pump is stopped. With plates still clamped together, the membrane plate surfaces are inflated to compress/squeeze the dewatered cake material. If the material can be compressed, additional water is removed from the solids. The plate surfaces are deflated by relieving the air or water pressure, then the plates are unclamped to allow the plates to be separated and the cakes are discharged by gravity.

What needs maintenance on a Filter Press?

Recessed plate filter presses require routine filter cloths and slurry feed pump rebuilds. The cloth's life is typically in thousands of press cycles. Pump rebuilds are required due to internal pump wear caused by the slurry material. The rebuild frequency can vary greatly depending on pump materials of construction, slurry material abrasiveness and hours of operation, but in general would occur once to twice per year.

How much does a Filter Press cost?

Because plate filter presses can vary greatly in size, the cost varies widely also. Equipment cost can range from tens of thousands of dollars to more than one million dollars for a single Filter Press.

What technologies are an alternative to a Filter Press?

Filter Presses are often used in place of:

  • Belt Presses
  • Centrifuges
  • Screw Presses
  • Vacuum Drum Filters

The primary reasons people would consider a Filter Press over these alternative technologies are for the reduction in operating costs, drier product, reduced chemical consumption, better solids recovery and the high degree of automation.

How can a Filter Press reduce overall plant operating costs?

The savings most frequently gained using a Filter Press are:

  • Reduction in volume and weight. This is thanks to the result of producing a drier product, which also results in reduced transportation, disposal and footprint costs.
  • Reduction or elimination of chemicals used for dewatering vs. alternate technologies.
  • Reduction in labor through automation vs. alternate technologies.
  • Higher value product due to lower inherent moisture, or in cases where additional drying is necessary through non-mechanical means such as rotary driers, the BTU costs can be reduced significantly through the reduction in product moisture prior to the drier.

Besides reductions in operating costs, what other reasons would cause a plant or mine to consider using a Filter Press?

  • Filter Presses are often used to create a closed loop process. This eliminates the need for a settling pond or tailings pond, while also recycling process water back for reuse.
  • By eliminating the need for tailings ponds or settling ponds, valuable land reserves can be protected or freed up for mining rather than being covered with tailings.
  • In many cases, the use of a closed loop process can also reduce regulatory permits while also putting forth an environmentally positive message for investment companies.
  • Many companies are now waiting years for permits for new settling ponds without assurance that this permit will be approved. Moving to a closed-loop process can eliminate the need for some of these long permitting processes.
  • Water availability and cost are becoming more of an issue as large population areas continue to grow. These areas also require quarried and mined materials, but lack of water can be restrictive for new plant considerations. Plant feasibility is greatly improved using a closed loop approach to wet processing with a filter press due to the maximum recovery of recyclable water, minimizing the need for new water sourcing.

What are the key options that should be considered when purchasing a Filter Press?

The most commonly considered options are:

  • Chamber thickness - The thickness of the chamber has large impacts on the dewatering performance and should be selected through testing or experience in similar materials.
  • Recessed chamber plates or membrane plates.
  • Feed pressure – 125 to 225psi is the typical operating pressure for most high-pressure Filter Presses with modern filter plates.
  • Surge tank or holding tank – Surge tanks are often used to allow Filter Presses, which operate in a batch process, to be used in a continuous process. Surge tanks of different sizes can be considered to ensure a smooth and controlled link from your continuous process to the batch dewatering process.
  • Feed pump – The feed pump acts as the heart of a filter press operation. Filter Presses can be fed with centrifical pumps, two-stage centrifical pumps, positive displacement pumps, diaphragm pumps, screw pumps or a combination of these pumps. The selection of the right pumping system is critical to performance and operating costs.
  • Core blow – This prevents slurry from being discharged with the filter cake and also reduces wear on the filter cloths and can improve downstream processes.
  • Open or closed filtrate discharge - Open filtrate discharge allows for easy identification of damaged filter cloths. This can greatly reduce the wear and tear of the filter plates.
  • Filter cloth selection and style of attachment of the filter cloths to the filter plates.
  • Automatic wash system – This is used to wash the filter cloths to reduce operator requirements and improve filtration performance when blinding of the filter cloths is an issue.

What determines the capacity of a Filter Press?

The capacity of a Filter Press is determined by the following items:

  • Type and preparation of feed material
  • Volume of the chambers of each Filter Press
  • Specific gravity of the solids being dewatered
  • Percent moisture of the filter cake
  • Number of filter plates
  • Number of cycles per hour the Filter Press can discharge

The number of cycles is depending on the:

  • Fill time
  • Dewatering time
  • Cake/Wash/Blow when used
  • Core/Wash/Blow when used
  • Open and closing time of the Filter Press
  • Pump capacity (flow and pressure capabilities of the feed system)
  • Feed characteristics of the material
  • Size gradation, permeability, chemicals used
