What factors shape(d) how settler colonies form(ed) and develop(ed)?
How and why are digital tools and methods used in academic research?
The first question is a pressing one in the emerging field of settler colonial studies, and its exploration in this course provides students the opportunity to weigh in on this important scholarly conversation through their digital scholarship. The second question is a pressing one for students regardless of whether they choose an academic, "alt-ac", industry, or non-profit career path. Throughout the course, students will develop greater fluency with scholarly and transferrable digital skills, such as building datasets from complex sources, mining and analyzing texts, and producing media-rich online content. Readings will include the works of leading settler colonial theorists Lorenzo Veracini and Patrick Wolfe; historians of settler colonialism, such as Lisa Ford and Margaret Jacobs; and DH articles and digital projects exemplifying the various research methodologies students will utilize.
The topics are loose guidelines. Feel free to come in with other questions as well.
The CGU institutional policies apply to each course offered at CGU. A few are detailed in the space below. Students are encouraged to review the student handbook for the program as well as the policy documentation within the bulletin and on the Registrar's pages (http://bulletin.cgu.edu/ http://www.cgu.edu/pages/179.asp).
Students are expected to attend all classes. Students who are unable to attend class must seek permission for an excused absence from the course director or teaching assistant. Unapproved absences or late attendance for three or more classes may result in a lower grade or an "incomplete" for the course. If a student has to miss a class, he or she should arrange to get notes from a fellow student and is strongly encouraged to meet with the teaching assistant to obtain the missed material. Missed extra-credit quizzes and papers will not be available for re-taking.
The work you do in this course must be your own. Feel free to build on, react to, criticize, and analyze the ideas of others but, when you do, make it known whose ideas you are working with. You must explicitly acknowledge when your work builds on someone else's ideas, including ideas of classmates, professors, and authors you read. If you ever have questions about drawing the line between others' work and your own, ask the course professor who will give you guidance. Exams must be completed independently. Any collaboration on answers to exams, unless expressly permitted, may result in an automatic failing grade and possible expulsion from the Program. Additional information on CGU academic honesty is available on the Student Services webpage (http://www.cgu.edu/pages/1132.asp).
You are expected to complete all of the readings prior to class and come prepared to participate in the class discussion. The 5 project papers and final paper will be submitted through Canvas and included in your WordPress site. Please follow the Chicago/Turabian style guide for formatting and citations when you submit your papers to Canvas. On your website, you can remove your name, date, etc., but keep the citations. You will receive feedback on your writing by the next class unless otherwise stated.
Accommodations for Students with DisabilitiesCGU is committed to offering auxiliary aids and services to students with verifiable disabilities, in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If you are seeking academic accommodations as a student with a disability or suspect that you have a disability, please contact CGU's Office of Disability Services as early as possible. Students need to register with this office before academic accommodations can be prescribed through an Accommodation(s) Letter and implemented in the classroom. Additional information and resources can be found on the linked page: (http://www.cgu.edu/pages/1154.asp).

determine for which types of research and questions each DH tool and methodology is most appropriate.
Purpose: The purpose of this cumulative final assessment is twofold: (1) to demonstrate your skills in digital humanities research methods to colleagues and potential employers, and (2) to practice communicating the results of your research in writing for an audience of scholars beyond your professor. The website you build and the writing you contribute to the scholarly conversation through this medium will help you become more familiar with academic norms. It is my hope that this assignment will help you develop greater confidence in yourself as a scholar and empower you to develop new skills and experiment with other research methods and tools.
Answer the following question in a scholarly essay based on your readings and the projects you've done throughout the semester: What factors shaped the formation and development of settler colonies in the United States and French Algeria?
A successful essay will include a clear thesis statement and incorporate evidence from the readings and findings from the mini DH projects completed over the course of the semester to support the argument. All evidence needs to be cited in Chicago/Turabian style.
Purpose: Each of these papers will help you clarify and communicate your understanding of the various digital humanities research methods we will explore this semester. These papers will also be foundational to analyzing of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the methods and to communicating your rationale for using one (or more) to answer certain types of questions. As exemplified in the American Historical Association's Guidelines for the Professional Evaluation of Digital Scholarship by Historians, it is incumbent on scholars to "be as clear as possible at each stage of conceiving, building, and sharing [digital] scholarship about the implications and significance of using the digital medium for their contribution to the scholarly conversation" (AHA, Guidelines for the Professional Evaluation of Digital Scholarship by Historians, 2).
You can either write in a narrative style that ties the above elements into a coherent essay or number your responses to each prompt. Please format the paper using 12-point font and follow the Chicago/Turabian citation style guide. Submit this paper through Canvas prior to the class meeting time (4:00pm PST) on the date it is due.

The ambition of the meeting is to engage discussion about fundamental questions regarding urban theories and modeling. Invited keynote speeches will be followed each by a roundtable of discussion. Related major results from the ERC will also be presented. The intention of the workshop is to summarize the state of knowledge and prepare an agenda for future research.
17 :30 – 18 :30 ARE SCALING LAWS TRANSFERABLE TOWARDS URBAN THEORIES?
WHICH THEORIES AND MODELS FROM AND FOR BIG DATA?


The locus of literary meaning has variously been taken to be the author's intention, the reader's response, and the text itself (cf. Hernadi 1995). In a cognitive perspective, it makes little sense to locate the kind of meaning accessible to human readers exclusively in the text itself, since the very act of abstracting the text as an isolable object is dependent on a cognitive act of framing. To speak about a text is already to place it in the human world; to access its symbolic meaning is possible only through a series of complex cognitive acts.
The meaning that should properly be attributed to the author, however, cannot be equated with his conscious intentions; since major aspects of meaning-making are cognitively impenetrable, the author can never have conscious or reflective knowledge of the full complexity of what he is communicating. An analysis of meaning focusing on the author may consider several different interacting levels of creativity and constraints, and these will not be exhaustible.
Since the reader, just as the writer, depends on multilayered interpretive processes that are far from cognitively transparent, the complexity of the reader's response will also be a significant factor of interest. In the normal course of things, the use of a text--readers' interpretations--may become more significant than the author's meaning, when persistent misreadings, or simply emphases or biases, take on their own cultural life.
Within these two sets of cognitive acts, the fictional world can emerge--a framed world to which is applied the whole range of inferences that apply to the real world.
In sum, literary meaning may be seen to involve accepting the perspective of the fictional world (suspending disbelief), making hypotheses about the author's intentions (not in principle any less knowable than any other object of knowledge), and about relevant readers' responses--including one's own (this is no more than what any author does as a matter of course).
These perspectives in turn map onto three broad modes of construal: the personal, the socio-historical, and the natural, rougly nested. The personal is the domain of folk psychology, a rich mode of construal that gain us initial access to the text; the socio-historical contextualizes the personal in the domain of cumulative cultural information; the natural further situates the personal and the cultural in cognitive structures that emerge out of the semiotic processes of life. The current disregard for the cognitive or natural dimension leads to a failure to appreciate the major themes of literature, and thus quite frequently to a denial of the meanings that is still available to the naive reader. Cognitive Culture Theory should be utilized to deepen the understanding reached by folk psychology and historical research, as a complement to rather than a substitute for current work. Since the claims of cultural constructionism tend to be totalizing, however, the cognitive approach may serve as a corrective.
"What does the text mean?"
"How is the writer able to produce the text?"
"How is the reader able to interpret it?"
"Why does the writer care to produce the text?"
"Why does the reader care to interpret it?"
What are the personal histories that explain behavior in the the fictional world? What are the social forces that act in the fictional world? What are the cognitive faculties invoked to explain the fictional world?
What personal resources are provided the fictional characters? How are these personal resources situated within the cultural capital of the fictional world? How are the personal resouces and cultural captial related to claims about human nature?
What are the personal motives of the fictional characters? What are the coalitional or other social forces that determine their behavior? What is the role of human nature in personal and social motivations?
What are the real biographical elements that shaped the fictional world? What are the real historical forces that generated this particular fictional world? What are the real prehistorical (natural) forces that enabled and shaped the fictional world?
How does the author convey what s/he means? What are the historically developed tools that permitted this creation? What are the cognitive structures (input conditions, conceptual primitives, inference engines, categories) that permit this creation?
Why is the author interested in this meaning? What are the coalitional or other social forces that determined the formulation of the work? What are the evolutionarily significant problems raised in the fictional work, and how are they raised?
What is the reader's personal interpretation of the text? What are the cultural factors that predispose readers to a particular interpretation? What are the local calibrations of the cognitive faculties that generate the interpretation?
What are the strategies of reading used to arrive at an interpretation? What are the culturally developed tools that permit the reader to access the text? What are the cognitive structures (input conditions, conceptual primitives, inference engines, categories) that permit this the interpretation?
Why is the reader personally interested in the meaning of the fictional work? What are the coalitional interests and social ambitions that determine the interpretation? How are the evolutionarily significant problems raised specifically relevant to the reader?


The new series is off to a flying start with an eye-watering array (20 this time) of irritating and boastful wannabes that we will no doubt all grow to love!
Aside from leaving standing-room-only by squeezing an extra 4 people into the Board Room (maybe the BBC pay Amstrad for each seat?) the main highlight of this first episode is a difficulty in remembering which candidates shone through, as most sensibly adopt a low profile.
Team leader for the weirdly named Decadence female team should be our favourite given her roots in Goldman Sachs, was Sarah Dales. Apparently she dislikes being ignored, which was exactly what happened when she asked the team to pretty-up…..apart from being a bit non-pc these days (even if some of the girls could do with a bit more glamour) it wasn't exactly a winning tactic for Sarah and made her few friends inside the boardroom or at home on the sofa. It's a bit off really as most people involved in sales know that even half attractive girls will outperforming blokes as chaps will always buy from women!
So a thumbs up for Sarah from me.
Another noticeable female contestant was Roisin Hogan from Dublin….aside from the fact she seemed sensible and not as argumentative as some candidates nearer to home, shouldn't she be in Apprentice Ireland? But I think she's one to watch as potentially cool under pressure.
Not so cool under the pressure of an espresso machine was a candidate closer to home from my own POB of Leicester….Lindsay Booth. Sadly she did seem to want to let off steam (pun intended) and vent at Sarah for failing to help out with the queue. Fair enough, but there is a time and place in business to argue, and its never in front of customers!
Nurun Ahmed is easy to remember because of the headscarf…if that's the correct terminology….a very busy lady with a job, several young kiddies and quite a few fledgling businesses by the sound of it..so she's another one to watch who also seemed quiet sensible so far.
Well as usual the males took bravado to a new level…..top of bunch, literally, as he's about 10 feet tall and hard to miss with inappropriate cream shoes and no socks is Robert Goodwin. He seemed like a nice posh boy but sadly he'll never get on in business if he can't enjoy a bacon butty from the snack wagon with the rest of us……you won't find guacamole in a 2 for £10 restaurant (where we treat clients) either even though you might find it in one of his hot dogs! But we warmed to Robert once he'd smarted himself up a bit more "boardroom-style" than "bedroom-style".
An unfortunate sub team leader for the boys in Episode one was Chiles Cartwright, a consultant who apparently consults from Shropshire. To us he came across as a bit too dictatorial and it was plainly rash to leave behind tea shirts that cost ten times more than spuds….but we think his experience would be useful as the programme progresses.
Team leader was of course Felipe, originally from Columbia, and after the roasting he got from some candidates on his team he might have preferred to be serving coffee with Lindsay..but we thought he was brave to volunteer on task one, did well to take some time out to match peoples skills to tasks, and did well to survive. How long he'll last is of course tough to say as Lord Sugar seems to have a dislike for lawyers if past series are anything to go by, even if they've been good candidates.
Steven from Canada, originally an Arctic community social worker, left a big impression on everyone. Yes he wound everyone up the wrong way, but generally because he was right. He looked stunned when fellow contestants widely turned on him and may now feel the Apprentice Board Room is like being savaged by a polar bear, or is that the Antarctic?……either way he'll be better prepared next time, so again one to watch but we doubt he'll last the distance.
Sadly we haven't yet formed much of an opinion about the remaining dozen candidates, due mostly to them being pretty non-exsitant so hopefully we'll see more tonight.
We won't spoil your enjoyment if you haven't watched Episode 1 yet by revealing the loser who was fired…..but if I was Lord Sugar I'd have focused my attention on how many sausages went unsold….if lots, then Karen was correct that seeking out posh ingredients was a waste of time and the boys lost money accordingly. But if all the sausages sold despite this distraction and the boys had no stock left, it was irrelevant……so this all points towards Robert being fired instead. Instead of who, though…….?!
Chiles (sub-team leader) should of course also have been in the firing line from Day 1 simply by virtue of having a daft name, is he Giles or Charles?…..in fact we'd never have let him get past CV stage!
One thing is for sure, we are completely hooked already – bring on the next episode!


Behind this unassuming exterior lies a charming 3 / 4 bedroom village house in a corner position with a south facing terrace + courtyard with access to a cellar with a well. This spacious property has plenty of character with original features, beautiful tiled floors and exposed stone and wood. There is the benefit of air-conditioning, double glazing and a wood burner. Situated in Paziols, a village with amenities 40 minutes from Perpignan, with parking nearby, the property has been sympathetically renovated and offers good family accommodation / rental potential. It's what most people are looking for, and at a good price, so why not be one of the first to take a look?


Interactive 3D Floor Plan – Is a great way to showcase your off the plan project. In addition to a single property plan we are able to create a complete site plan to showcase a entire building complex which can then be used to drill down into a number of individual properties. This floor plan literally pops off the page to create a great 3D model.

This advanced-level study approaches mathematical foundations of three-dimensional elasticity using modern differential geometry and functional analysis. It is directed to mathematicians, engineers and physicists who wish to see this classical subject in a modern setting with examples of newer mathematical contributions. Prerequisites include a solid background in advanced calculus and the basics of geometry and functional analysis.
The first two chapters cover the background geometry ? developed as needed ? and use this discussion to obtain the basic results on kinematics and dynamics of continuous media. Subsequent chapters deal with elastic materials, linearization, variational principles, the use of functional analysis in elasticity, and bifurcation theory. Carefully selected problems are interspersed throughout, while a large bibliography rounds out the text.

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, urged Nigerians to see their diversity as source of strength, progress, peace and national development.
He made the call at Public Lecture and Special Jumma'at Prayer to mark Nigeria's 58th Independence Day Celebration at the National Mosque in Abuja.
The lecture was organised by the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) under the leadership of its President-General, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'ad Abubakar III.
Represented by the FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello, the president advised Nigerians to de-emphasise cultural and religious affiliations with view to enhancing peace and national cohesion, adding that Nigerians should enjoy and benefit from the secular nature of the country.
The NSCIA President-General advised Muslim politicians to strive toward contributing to peace and development of the country at whatever position they found themselves.
Mr Abubakar also urged the political class to emulate the virtues of First Republic politicians like Ahmadu Bello, Premier of the then Northern Region, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and others.
He enjoined public office holders to think of what they could do for the country so as to leave behind good legacy.
The special prayer, led by the Murshid (General-Overseer) of Abuja National Mosque, Shehu Galadanci, was offered for continued peace, progress and development of the country.

Emma McDermott
"On the voices, very generous laude to the young Emma McDermott, who proved to be really up to the role: her Italian debut of Tosca in the city of Catania, the city not only of Bellini but De Roberto, Rapisardi, Verga, which has wished well the budding of this broad, tonal voice, not pointed but dense, versatile, which can be in different roles; a voice that will grow (in fact we learn that the Californian artist will be produced in Wagnerian repertoire) and that without a doubt, if well managed, will make people talk among themselves."
-Francesco Giordano
http://www.globusmagazine.it/147135-2/#.W3FuzsuxWyW
"Puccini immediately loved this figure of a combative and confident woman in the drama of Victorien Sardou, capable of drastic decisions, with a temperament of steel that reveals itself in her courage to kill and kill herself. And he wrote: "Tosca is a work that requires an ultra-dramatic woman and a very good baritone." This was the key to the staging... two great singers really held the bench: in the shoes of Scarpia, Alberto Mastromarino, a "very good baritone" of international fame, of great stage presence and remarkable acting skills, and the American soprano Emma McDermott, at her debut on the Italian stages, really an "ultradramatic woman" who was able to portray the protagonist with the right size, manifesting qualities of a lyric soprano, even that of a lyric spinto, a strong temperament, a dramatic accent and a great talent as an actress. McDermott really knew how to offer a widely faceted heroine, in love and devoured by silly jealousy in the first act, tormented and frightened by her love in the second and tragically deluded in the third, with a beautiful full-bodied voice that gave her best in "Vissi d'arte," sung with intense emotional participation."

Hints and tips for using the Logger32 logging program.
Logger32 has extensive Help! This help is your friend. When you are looking for a particular subject, use the Contents, Index, or Search windows to find a section of Help that looks relevant and then use the standard Windows Ctrl-F (Find) tool to search within that section. Don't find what you are looking for, just try another section and repeat the Find process.
For example, you want to update the LoTW user flag information in the Logbook Entry window. Looking under Contents, we see Logbook Window, which has a sub-heading of Logbook Entry Window. Seems a likely place to start. Click on that sub-heading to open that section. Now press Ctrl-F to bring up the Find window and type in LoTW. Clicking on Next takes us to the Logbook of the World user indicator section. In that section we find a link to the DX Spot Window, where the information on creating/updating the LoTW user database resides. Once in the DX Spot Window section, we can use Ctrl-F again to search for LoTW. Since LoTW is mentioned frequently in this section, it takes a few clicks on the Next button to get to the part on updating the LoTW user file. Voila, step-by-step instructions.
Logger32 Help is available in 3 different formats: the normal Windows Help (.chm), Acrobat Reader (.pdf), and Word (.docx). The latest version of Help can be found by clicking on the "Latest English Online Help" icon at Support Files page of the Logger32 web site.
1. Before downloading the new Logger32.chm file, you need to delete the existing Logger32.chm and Logger32.chi files in the Logger32 folder.
2. A menu item can be added to the Utilities Menu to open the pdf or docx version of the Help file.That menu item has to start with the appropriate .exe file for the program you use to read pdf or docx files and then the help file.
Gerry VE6LB is a beta tester for Logger32. He has extensive knowledge of the program and its many features. If you need help with a paticular part of Logger32, Gerry can be contacted at ve6lb@telus.net.
Gary ZM4G's Logger32 page. Gary has many useful tips for installing and using Logger32.
Gary's Unoffical FAQ page with answers to many common "how to" questions.
Features you many not know about. This page was last updated in December of 2009 but it still highlights some useful tips on getting more out of Logger32.
N2AMG - Rick Ellison's site has some great add ins for Logger32, including LoTW_eQSL upload/download utility, QRZ lookup, and Frequency Manager.
N2AMG Wiki Rick has started a Wiki with instructions on how to setup his add in programs.
Integrating Logger32 and WSJT-X: Logger32 and WSJT-X can be configured so that when the WSJT-X user logs a contact, it also gets added to Logger32 in real time. A special Band Map window in Logger32 is also made available to the user which shows the status of the stations heard by WSJT-X (new country, new band, already worked, etcetera).
In Logger32, right click on UDP on the lower menu bar, then click on "Open WSJT-X/JTDX	UDP Band Map". If you just want to do the logging and not display the Band Map, then click on "Click to Open WSJT-X/JTDX	UDP port" only. The colours in the Band Map are the ones defined by the user in Logger32.
Version 3.50.15 has simplified the customization of the Logbook and Previous QSO's windows. Hiding/unhiding, moving, naming, and formating columns is now done using a more readable window. To access this window, right click on the column header of the column you want to tweak.
To access the original customization window, right click on any of the data fields and select Setup, Grid Layout.
Right click is your friend! Many windows/fields in Logger32 have options hidden in them that can be accessed with a mouse right click. Give it a try and see what opens up for you.
For DX chasers, check out the Country database exceptions from ClubLog settings under Settings, Updates. It will allow Logger32 to recognize the "oddball" calls that sometimes get used for Dxpeditions and other "events".
Now that you have Logger32 looking and fuctioning the way you want, make a backup of the Logger32 folder! Copy it to the cloud or an external hard drive or a thumb drive. Refresh that backup periodically, especailly after making any major changes. VE6PLC uses Carbonite to automatically back up his files, including Logger32.
How to resend a log entry to LoTW and/or eQSL. You discover that the Operating mode for a contact that you uploaded to LoTW and eQSL was incorrect. After making corrections to the log entry in Logger32, you need to upload it to LoTW. In order to do have the LoTW_eQSL Utility upload the corrected record again, 2 settings need to be updated: "LoTW sent" needs to be unchecked and "LoTW flagged" needs to be checked. In the Logbook page window, click on the record that needs to be resent then right-click on the record in the Previous QSO's window.
Click on "Update QSL status to match settings above" to save the changes. The LoTW_eQSL Utility will recognize that this record needs to be uploaded.
The Utilities Menu includes some new items: DX Activty shows DX stations and whether you have confirmed, worked, or need the DX entity; IOTA Activty shows IOTA stations; DX-World Timeline shows the schedule of upcoming DX opportunites.
NOTE: this page will be updated as members submit hints and tips!

Q: sed print n'th 'a' to m'th 'b' inclusive Is there a way to print 4th match of 'four' to 8th match of 'eight' only using cat and sed?
I'm given to use =, N, p, q, s as hints, but not sure how to utilize those
For example,
$ cat foo
1
2
3
4
5-
alkjvearv four
four
asdfasd four
----fourth asdf
qlvkjqrvlj eight
5+
6
7
8
9
eight eight eight
10
11
12 eight
13 eight
eight qorivjqoerijv
----this is eighth
eight
15

$ cat foo | sed ~
----fourth asdf
qlvkjqrvlj eight
5+
6
7
8
9
eight eight eight
10
11
12 eight
13 eight
eight qorivjqoerijv
----this is eighth

this is as far as I've got
$ cat foo | sed -n '/four/,/eight/p'
alkjvearv four
four
asdfasd four
----fourth asdf
qlvkjqrvlj eight

A: Not sure it matches exactly  what you need as your question is quite imprecise, but it may give you an idea. Of course this solution is not something you should use (use awk).
The strings uuid1 and uuid2 may be replaced by any two strings that are not present already in the file.
sed -E -e 'H;1h;$!d;x' \
    -e 's/four/uuid1/' -e 's/four/uuid1/' -e 's/four/uuid1/' \
    -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' \
    -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' foo |
sed -n '/four/,/eight/p;/eight/q' |
sed 's/uuid1/four/g;s/uuid2/eight/g'

Returns :
----fourth asdf
qlvkjqrvlj eight
5+
6
7
8
9
eight eight eight
10
11
12 eight
13 eight
eight qorivjqoerijv
----this is eighth

which I think is correct.
This answer and this one helped me.

Command explained :
sed -E -e 'H;1h;$!d;x'
From this

The sed commands H;1h;$!d;x read the whole file in.
Because the above does not use any GNU extension, it should work on
  BSD (OSX) sed. Note, thought, that this approach requires a sed that
  can handle long lines. GNU sed should be fine. Those using a non-GNU
  version of sed should test its ability to handle long lines.

-e 's/four/uuid1/' -e 's/four/uuid1/' -e 's/four/uuid1/' \
-e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' \
-e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' -e 's/eight/uuid2/' foo

Then I replace the first three four to uuid1 and the first seven eight to uuid2.
As @JonathanLeffler said, it becomes very ugly if you increase the number of substitutions, but I didn't find any workaround for POSIX sed versions, I used the command from this answer.

If GNU sed is not available and you want to change the first 3
  occurrences of old to new, then use three s commands:
This works well when k is a small number but scales poorly to large k.

sed -n '/four/,/eight/p;/eight/q' — don't print by default; from the first four to the first eight, print the line; when you find eight, quit.
I tried this first : sed -n '/four/,/eight/p' but it could return rows after the section that is supposed to be printed. I used this answer to fix the issue.
This command selects the line between the first four and the first eight occurrence.
sed 's/uuid1/four/g;s/uuid2/eight/g' I replace the uuids to their original values. I do it even for uuid1 as the third four may be on the same line as the fourth one.

A: This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed ':a;h;s/four/&/4;tb;$d;N;ba;:b;s/eight/&/8;tc;$d;N;bb;:c;x;s/.*\n//;G;s/$/\n/;s/^\([^\n]*\n\).*\1/\1/;s/\n$//;q' file

This uses the substitution command to check if the start/end strings have been accounted for as the input file is processed. The command s/someString/&/n replaces the n'th occurrence of someString by itself. The substitution command also sets an internal flag to true if a substitution has been successful. The t command allows sed to test the internal flag and jump to another point in the sed command script e.g. ta will jump to the point in the sed script where :a occurs if the last substitution was successful. The internal flag is reset to false immediately a jump has been made or a new sed cycle invoked. This mechanism is used to count the arbitrary strings for the start/end conditions. Once both conditions have been met and the section before the start boundary removed, the processing of the input file can be terminated and the result printed or not printed out.
N.B. The deletion of the section of text before the start condition can lead to a host of edge cases. To simplify them, a newline is appended and subsequently removed, from the eventual result.
An easier but prone to possible error solution:
sed -z 's/four/\x00&/4;s/eight/\x00&/8' file |
sed '/\x00four/,/\x00eight/!d;s/\x00\(four\)/\1/;s/\x00\(eight\)/\1/'

Desalination, often thought to refer only to the removal of salt from seawater, actually removes virtually any mineral and most biological or organic chemical compounds to produce high quality water suitable for drinking.
Desalination has long been used in regions of the world where fresh water is in short supply. In fact, the process dates to ancient times when Greek sailors purified seawater by evaporation. Desalination has evolved into a desirable water supply alternative by tapping the largest reservoir in the world - the Pacific Ocean. The technology, available for decades, is at work in many arid areas of the world including the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
Desalination equipment is now in use in over 120 countries, including Italy, Australia, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Japan, China, India, Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Malta, Gibraltar, Cape Verde and Cyprus. There are over 21,000 desalination plants worldwide, producing over 3.5 billion gallons of potable water a day. Overall, desalination plant capacity has increased exponentially over the past 30 years. Saudi Arabia leads the world in desalination and relies on it to meet 70 percent of the country's drinking water needs.
Historically, the high cost of water production has been the key concern related to large-scale seawater desalination. Technological advances have made desalination a viable water supply alternative. Manufacturers of the RO membrane filtration systems have been able to produce filters that last longer and at much lower costs than just a decade ago. It now costs less than 0.7 cents to produce a gallon of water at the Carlsbad Plant.
Desalination has also benefited from reduced operating costs in terms of electrical energy use - an important milestone since energy consumption can account for as much as one-third the total cost of the water produced. Other cost-saving advances include construction of large capacity plants, co-location with power plant facilities and enhanced competition by using Design-Build-Own-Operate-Transfer project delivery.
Prolonged drought, dwindling sources such as the Colorado River and Bay Delta water, and more stringent treatment requirements are driving up the costs of traditional water sources and triggering the need for alternative local supplies. Desalination is an environmentally friendly process that decreases the amount of additional water that would otherwise need to be imported from ecologically sensitive areas. Desalinated Seawater is also the only water supply that is not dependent on snowpack or rainfall.
Modern day reverse osmosis technology used in desalination was born out of San Diego's own General Atomics in the 1960's. Today San Diego County is home to much of the international desalination industry, with over 35 desalination-related companies employing 2,200 people and generating over $200 million in annual revenue.
In San Diego County, we have an opportunity to put this homegrown technology to work. The Carlsbad Desalination Plant has significant economic benefit for the region, including $50 million in annual spending and 500 new indirect jobs throughout the region.


The liner lock folding knife is coming back in a big way with lots of great EDC designs that came out recently. While the liner lock is a tried-and-true mechanism, over the past few years they've fallen out of style compared to frame locks. But these knives have plenty of their own benefits that might be more in line with your EDC needs. In this guide, we'll explain why you should consider a liner lock for EDC and also show you some of our favorite recent releases in this category.
What makes a liner lock knife good for everyday carry?
Solid lock-up. A good liner lock knife will provide you a secure lock on the blade during use. Over the past few years, we may have been conditioned to think that only frame-lock knives are capable of this security. But the truth is a liner lock knife can absolutely do the same. Only the tolerances are different. A cheap frame lock knife tends to be more secure than a cheap liner lock knife, but if you buy quality this becomes less of an issue.
Easy one-handed closure. This is why the liner lock knife took over from the traditional lockback design. The lock is easily manipulated with your thumb, letting you close the knife quickly and easily with one hand.
Slimmer and lighter. Compared to frame lock knives, less of the design of a liner lock has to be dedicated to the lock itself. Designers of liner lock knives are more free to pursue the use of lightweight materials. And because a liner lock can be made to a slimmer profile, thinner and more elegant knife designs are made possible.
The grips of your choice. Liner lock knife designs are free to have the side panel grips of your choice, from ornamental wood to tactical grippy G10 scaling. And the best part is that you can have that grip on both sides of the handle. If you've had a frame lock knife before and been left wanting because the handle was made of slippery bare metal on one or both sides, a liner lock knife is for you.
The HVAS features CRKT's proprietary Field Strip technology, which lets you easily take the knife apart for cleaning and maintenance and put it back together without tools. This makes it perfect for outdoors carry, where mud and grime can jam up and damage your knife. The minimalist look of the blade itself is hallmark Voxnaes design. The HVAS has a stout 3.3" 1.4116 stainless steel drop point blade with a large belly, amplifying its slicing abilities.
Spyderco has been making knives in this category forever, and their designs are some of the best you can have for everyday carry. The Shaman features their best take on the design with the compression lock. Think of it as a liner lock on steroids, getting behind the tang of the blade at the pivot point and further securing it with a locking pin. And because the lock is at the spine of the handle, it's even more easy to access with one hand than a regular liner lock at the bottom. The blade itself is made of premium CPM-S30V stainless steel with a drop point shape and a super sharp flat ground plain edge. Between the top jimping on the blade and its G10 scales, you'll have a solid grip on this knife even when wet.
The Begleiter has been around for a bit, but it's now available in a blue G10 handle colorway. It remains a solid liner lock everyday carry knife that gets you a sharp flat ground 3.58" VG-10 stainless steel drop point blade at an affordable price point. The handle slims out in the center, letting you get a deep grip on the knife during use and helping protect you against accidental cuts during heavy use.
You might recognize the titanium Urban Trapper as a frame lock knife, but this design leverages the ability to make liner lock knives slimmer and more elegant to bring the Urban Trapper firmly into the modern gent's knives space. The cocobolo wood handles offer a deluxe feel to this thin and sleek knife with its deep red color and attractive grain. It also features a 3.7" VG-10 stainless steel blade that's deployed easily with its flipper opening. And at a mere 1.6 ounces in weight, you'll barely notice this knife in your pockets until you need to use it.
The Atmos is a slim and clean liner lock design made in collaboration with Dmitry Sinkevich. It features a 3" 8Cr13MoV blade that has a modified drop point blade with a bit of a clip at the tip. This lets you be more agile with the blade in tight spaces. Because it has a index tab flipper opening and KVT ball-bearings in the handle, you get easy one-handed deployment with the Atmos. For added grip, the handle has G10 scaling on both sides, but it also comes with attractive carbon fiber embellishments for added elegance. When it's not in use, the reversible tip-up deep carry pocket clip lets the Atmos sink out of sight and out of mind in your pockets.
This model is a slimmed down version of the Intrigue tactical liner lock knife, made more suitable for everyday carry with a 3.25" D2 hollow ground drop point blade. The handle is made of textured and lightweight FRN scaling, and it has an ergonomic shape that conforms to your hand. The blade opens easily with a high index flipper that's easily identified in your pockets as you draw the knife for use. That flipper also serves as an additional guard for your hands during rough use.
This year, TOPS has graced us all with the the superior ergonomics of their compact fixed blade Mini Scandi neck knife with the convenience of a folding liner-lock design. If you've avoided the original because fixed blades aren't your thing, or because fixed blades are restricted where you live, consider picking this up. You get a 3.25" sharp scandi-ground blade made of ultra stain-resistant N690Co steel. The flipper opening ensures you can deploy this blade with comparable speed to its fixed blade cousin and the tan canvas micarta handles add to its durability.
When it comes to making great tactical folding knives, Emerson designs rank up with the best. The Seax is a new design featuring an interesting blade that looks like a cross between a wharncliffe and tanto shape. But it's actually a modern take on the ancient Germanic seax sword, in the shape of a modern tactical compact folding knife. The unique blade design lets its excel at both slicing and piercing tasks, and its hardy 154CM stainless steel ensures sharpness, durability, and edge retention. The liner lock minimizes blade play and also allows the handle to have grippy G10 on both sides of the handle.
Do you prefer liner lock knives? Leave a comment below with your favorite liner lock knife and why.
No zero tolerance.i have zero tolerance for no zero tolerance.
The Shaman is technically a Compression lock not a liner lock. Operating it is similar but the mechanical function is different.
I've researched these knives. Some are good choices, and others user reviews indicate their steel and overall design doesn't qualify them for top anything.
Not being an "expert", I prefer liner lock folders. One of my favorites has been my 2o y.o. Schrade CH18S Cliphanger. Hated by many, I have used this blade extensively as an OTR owner/driver and now on occasion in retirement. Not the best, but has been serviceable for me.
No Southern Grind Spider Monkey?!?!?

How Police Officers Can Stand Up to the Challenges

Gene Cunningham of Basic Training Ministries wrote:
"The battle cry of the Triarii Stete — in this case the Army of God — is Stand firm! It was adopted by the Apostle Paul to encourage Christians to steadfast devotion to the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a cry that needs repeating today."
I say "AMEN" to that! Every one of us lives in a war zone. For those of us in law enforcement or serving in combat military roles, it is both physical and spiritual warfare.
For every genuine believer (Is that you?), we are most certainly in in a very real spiritual war: the angelic conflict, the struggle between truth and lies, right and wrong, good and evil; between the Lord Jesus Christ and the fallen realm. Praise God, the moment we place our trust in Christ as Lord and Savior and receive not only eternal salvation but also the power of the Holy Spirit that indwells every genuine believer, we enter not only the Royal Family of God, but also become enlisted in the Royal Army of God through which we become combatants in this battle of the ages. For every genuine believer (Is that you?), we are most certainly in in a very real spiritual war: the angelic conflict, the struggle between truth and lies, right and wrong, good and evil.

Historically speaking the elite rearguard soldiers of the ancient Roman Empire were called the Triarii. When these battle-hardened warriors — typically the last line of defense — engaged the enemy, each man knew they had to do one thing: take one square yard of ground, clear it, advance, and repeat. The Triarii never retreated but rather held their ground until victory or death (they "endured"). As a Roman citizen, Paul no doubt was well acquainted with the Triarii and God clearly used that background when He inspired Paul to write:
Be on guard. Stand firm [Stete] in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong (1 Corinthians 16:13, added emphasis mine).
It was also part of what God put on Paul's heart as he wrote on the full Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-18. Teaching on this concept, the late Warren Wiersbe rightly wrote:
"…the Christian life is a battleground, not a playground…"
This notion is grounded in Ephesians 6:13:
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand).
It's also grounded on the concept of Stete (Standing firm). Paul used a related word I shared above – "endure" – in addressing his "trainee" Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:3-4 (Paul being Timothy's pastor and "FTO" — Field Training Officer):
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier (added emphasis mine).
Who, ultimately, is "him" who "enlisted" us? Christ our Savior, King and battle Captain. Paul also instructed Timothy:
Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called." (1 Timothy 6:12)
Timothy's calling was that of a pastor (shepherd), but this instruction in fact carries over both to us in law enforcement and to every Christian in general. On this, Pastor Charles Stanley wrote:
"But this command isn't limited to pastors; every believer needs to be a faithful soldier of Christ. That's because we're all in a battle—not against people but against spiritual forces of wickedness."
This war began when Satan and other angels rebelled against God. Then Satan tempted Eve to disobey the Lord as well. As a result of Adam and Eve's rebellion, the earth was cursed, and the entire human race was corrupted by sin. Ever since that day, the battle for truth and righteousness has raged. Although we may often feel overwhelmed by temptations and deceptions, Jesus modeled the path to victory when He was tempted by Satan in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11). He used only one weapon to refute each enticement and falsehood—the Word of God. This is the same powerful weapon our heavenly Father has given us to fight the good fight. When we view daily battles biblically with full reliance on the trustworthiness and authority of Scripture, we can flee sin, pursue righteousness, and stand firm on the truths of the faith.
So here's my encouragement and exhortation for us. If you're serving in law enforcement (current, former, future) in these very difficult times, understand that we are the homeland Triarri — the last line of defense — against the very real evil/enemy of this age. And God Himself has called us to Stete — stand firm — to endure. So let's do that! Let's armor up (physically and spiritually) and hold the line behind Christ our Captain.
And for Christians in general? Stete! Stand firm! Pray for us in law enforcement. Pray for our elected representatives. Vote your biblical values so as to remove from office those who stand against God and His standards. Boldly live out your faith. Pray for and love our enemies and be used of God to lead them to repentance and faith with the understanding that before we came to faith, we too were ALL enemies of God.
Yes, we must pray for our enemies but we who serve or served in law enforcement ("once a cop, always a cop" — our oath has no expiration) must also stand up and be the "terror against evil" (Romans 13:4) God has called us to be!
Finally (expanding on a concept I shared above), what do we as both Christian officers and Christians in general have that enables us to stand firm and endure the enemy's attacks? The indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. As we should know, that power is NOT available to unbelievers (those who have not placed their trust in Christ as Lord and Savior — a "Christian" as God alone gets to define it). So do have that? Are you using it?
So again I ask: Do you have the Holy Spirit living inside you (ultimate backup)? Are you in fact a saved (born again) "Warrior for Christ"? Do you know Him as Lord and Savior (a Christian as God defines it)? Are you a part of His triarri tactical team (SWAT — Spiritual Weapons and Tactics — 2 Corinthians 10:4)? If not, or you're not sure (you need to be sure), you can be! Start with our article, Why The Gospel Is Good News For Police Officers.
Amen? Reach out if you have questions or need prayer! Love you guys and standing firm with you!

'Final Fantasy XV' Officially Delayed to November
By	Liz Bernstein
Updated Aug 19, 2016 at 12:01pm
Having waited ten years for Final Fantasy XV, it's now official that fans will have to hold out for another two months (as previously rumored).
On Friday, Gamnesia leaked information from a trusted source within GameStop management that the highly anticipated fantasy RPG from Square Enix would be delayed to November 29th (from its original release date of September 30th), according to new promotional materials they received. Gematsu then followed up with an article of their own, stating that the same source that initially told them of the September 30th release date in advance of its announcement confirmed this new rumor to be true.
[Important Message] Director Tabata announces Final Fantasy XV release date change from Sep 30 to Nov 29, 2016 #FFXVhttps://t.co/kzjD3vy6Db
— Final Fantasy XV (@FFXVEN) August 15, 2016
Despite some skepticism due to many people contacting their local GameStop stores for confirmation and being told the date remained the same, Square Enix has issued a press release officially announcing the new release date for FFXV. Regarding the delay, game director Hajime Tabata is quoted as saying:
"From the moment we joined this project, our vision was to create a level of freedom and realism previously unseen in the series. Regrettably, we need a little bit more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this."
As of right now, the digital release of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, scheduled for August 30th, remains unaffected. Square Enix will reveal at a later date whether the disc versions of both Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV or Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV will be changed as well.
Final Fantasy XV will be released on November 29th for both Xbox One and PS4.
'Final Fantasy XV' Season Pass Will Include Six DLC Packs
The Reason 'Final Fantasy XV' Was Delayed

An earlier information leak has turned out to be true, and fans that have already been waiting ten years for Final Fantasy XV will have to endure another two months.


A film with a relatively unknown cast wins at the box office by crossing profits to over 200% with Twitter-focused activity, and continues to grow organically on social media post release.
The task was to attract audiences to watch a film with a relatively unknown cast.
To reach out to the masses and get them to notice the film.
To create conversation between the cast and their fans.
The challenge was to create a huge buzz around the movie through influencers, hence Twitter was taken into action while Facebook played a supporting role.
To involve fans with the daily activity of Fukrey, we initiated a 'Sabsey Bade Fukrey' activity.
To keep the momentum going till the end we planned a 'Fukra Party'.
To break the monotonous launch of music through a tab or event page, we enrouted ourselves to Twitter where we asked Sona Mohapatra, singer of 'Ambarsariya', to take over the Twitter account of Fukrey for a day to release the song.
Since 'Ambarsariya' and Sona Mohapatra, the beautiful voice behind the song connected well with our target audience, and gained good response on radio we decided to create its acoustic version.
To create parody posters to use as one of the marketing gimmicks.
One of the highlighting activities was the music launch of Ambarsariya, where Sona Mohapatra took over the Twitter account to launch the song while she interacted with the fans and answered all their questions. Flarepath also shot and edited the acoustic version of the song that connected well with the fans.
Other activities, which garnered a lot of traction, were 'Sabsey Bade Fukrey', 'Fukra Party' and Parody Posters (on the lines of Hollywood movie Man of Steel and Scavengers). For the 'Sabsey Bade Fukrey' activity, we asked fans to create a 'Fukrey' Fan page and populate the page with daily activity around the film. We rewarded the fan page which managed to get the maximum number of followers/likes.
Apart from all the above activities, Flarepath was live tweeting for the trailer launch, we organised a jugaad event and the Fukra party was created to update the fans in real time. In addition, the team conducted many Twitter hashtags to engage with the fans on a constant basis.
A few of them that trended nationally are #CALL5464646, #Fukra, #TwitterKeFukrey, #JugaadAt859, #ChoochaMoment, #IWantFukrey2.
The Twitter account received 238 RTs per 100 tweets, at 92 replies per 100t.
Facebook likes continues to grow organically even after the release at 52%.
The acoustic version of Ambarsariya shot by Flarepath received 118,110 views.
The media acknowledged the idea of parody posters which also gained an engagement level of 0.6% on Facebook.
We trended six hashtags nationally with a total social reach of over 6 million and an advertising value of over 15 lakh rupees.
In the first week of the launch, the positive social mentions for Fukrey were 4 times that of 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'.
As a result, Fukrey's profit crossed 200% at the box office.
18 tweets about #JustDelhiThings that every 'Dilliwala' will relate to!

Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Genoa, Ohio Mass Celebration for 150th!
All parishioners (past, present, and future) are invited to attend the inaugural
Sesquicentennial celebration Mass for Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Genoa, Ohio, on Saturday, February 11, 2006, at 5:00 PM. This special Mass will commemorate the 150th Year of the founding of the parish.
Following the service will be a potluck supper and a movie about St. Bernadette and the Apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes in the year 1858. This is the first of many events planned for the upcoming year. Please call Ellen Bergman, committee chair, at 419-855-3166 or the parish office at 419-855-8501 for more info.
Editor's Note: In 1858, in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes in southern France, Mary appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl. She revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception, asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision, and told the girl to drink from a fountain in the grotto. No fountain was to be seen, but when Bernadette dug at a spot designated by the apparition, a spring began to flow. The water from this still flowing spring has shown remarkable healing power, though it contains no curative property that science can identify. Lourdes has become the most famous modern shrine of Our Lady.


Based on the timeless classic by Mary Shelley novel, this new dramatization depicts the Frankenstein monster as a symbol of all of the misfits of the world unloved and unwanted by society. Because he does not look like the rest of us, we call him ugly and we fear him. Because we fear him, we want to destroy him. Mary Shelley gave her monster a kind and tender heart, a love for people, and a desire to be loved in return. But he was never loved, not by one single person. A chilling story of the dangers of science!

Ancient city of Hierapolis Turkey
More 3 Photos
The ruins of Hierapolis ancient city or "Holy City" (in transla6ion from Greek) is located in about 17 kilometers from the Denizli close to Pamukkale. They are located on a mountain hill whose height is 350 meters. The first buildings on the site of Hierapolis appeared in the 2nd millennium BC. The Hierapolis plan you can find in the picture gallery,
One of the most important sights of Hierapolis Turkey is an ancient theater that is located on the hillside. The building is constructed of solid rock and the overall height of its steps is about one hundred meters. Fifty rows separated by walkways on seven sectors are seats for spectators. After the completion of the constructions works the theater could accommodate about ten thousand people. Here you can also see the Hierapolis ruins of the Temple of Apollo.
The city played an important role in the spread of Christianity. The one of the 12 apostles - Saint Philip died in and was buried in ancient city of Hierapolis Turkey. For the preaching he was executed (crucified upside down) in 87 AD (during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian).
In 395 AD the Hierapolis ancient city came under Byzantine control. Constantine the Great made it the capital of the region of Phrygia and at the same time the center of the bishopric.
There is one of the largest cemeteries (necropolis) in Asia Minor of Hellenistic, Roman and Early Christianity cultures that rises from all sides to the walls of the city. In ancient times the Hierapolis was famous for its thermal springs a huge number of patients were coming hoping for healing. Many of them having recovered could return to their homes while others remained here forever. This explains the huge size of the local necropolis. The died were buried in Hierapolis in accordance with their traditions so the cemetery has different variety of gravestones and monuments.
The Hierapolis museum should be noticed as well. According to the Hierapolis plan it is located in the Roman Baths - one of the most important buildings of the Hierapolis ancient city. The museum in ancient city of Hierapolis Turkey presents jewelry, coins, architectural fragments and sarcophagi but the main exhibits are the sculptures and bas-reliefs. Artefacts that were found during excavations of the ancient cities of Hierapolis, Laodicea , Tripolis and Colossia are exhibited here.
We offer both - group guided tours to Hierapolis Turkey as well as Hierapolis ancient city private trips from Fethiye, Hisaronu, Ovacik, Oludeniz and Calis.
One of the most interesting excursions


Thanks for the shots, Jay. Primo deluxe.
i really like the shot of the horseshoe bend in the Colorado. A really great prespective on a old shot. Sweet shots.
spectacular pano's Jay, the colors are so vivid. I blew the horse shoe river bend up as my screensaver, and it gave me a better idea of scale. Thanks for sharing.
Love em! Fabulous shots Jay. Nice work.


Different olive cultivars (or varieties), production zones, degree of ripeness and fruit health produce very different qualities in extra virgin olive oils.
Extraction technology (olive mills), time frames and storage methods also impact first on the olives and then on the oils.
Each batch of oil is unique and Zefferino Monini's task is selecting the best oils: those which are elegant, lively and flawless to taste. Only those getting top marks move on to the lab for the following quality and authenticity tests.
We have a 200 square meter testing lab with innovative equipment of such sensitivity that they can detect even a single gram of contaminants in a million liters of oil.
More than twenty different chemical tests enable us to monitor oil quality and its purity from pesticides, mineral oils, environmental contaminants and solvents.
It is only just before packaging that the various oils with their different aromas and flavors are combined according to recipes or blends decided by Zefferino Monini for the purposes of recreating the sensory profile and quality standards set down for each extra virgin olive oil.
As any transfers or combining of oils from one tank to another are recorded, an IT system keeps track of the analytical values of the oil in each tank and updates values.
We have approximately 170 storage tanks all made of stainless steel with capacities varying from 3 to 210 tons with different use according to the type of oil.
Tanks are supplied with an inertization system with nitrogen gas which prevents oil coming into contact with oxygen and thus preserves it better. Level sensors measure the quantity of oil present in every tank and the available space exactly.
Some of the tanks used for our top products are temperature controlled to 53-64°F.
These processes are in no way altering the nutritional properties and quality of the oil but improve product conservation significantly by eliminating solid particles and residual vegetable water droplets from the oil.
Oils are filtered with filter sheets complete with a layer of diatom algae flour on the surface, a natural, totally inert substance used for filtering wine, fruit juices and other drinks. After passing through this layer of flour, the oils have been filtered, i.e. they are free of the droplets of vegetable water and olive fragments which make the oils look cloudy if not removed.
Immediately after the filtering process, the oil is subjected to clarifying. This is done with a filter which uses sheets of cellulose paper, simple absorbent paper a few millimeters thick.
After clarifying, the oil is translucent and water-free, ready for bottling and capable of conserving its sensory profile and precious antioxidant properties intact for longer.
The Monini plant in Spoleto has ten bottling lines and every day an average of 100,000 liters of oil is bottled with peaks touching 280,000 liters when there are three work shifts.
Clean, checked, protected: even if the bottles are new, all bottles are blown with compressed air and then electronically inspected: those showing defects such as glass bubbles, cracks and chips are thrown out.
