Site announcements!

Matt — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:35:23 +0000

Almost unbelievably, the end of Pre-Service Training is already in sight. In just a little over a month, I’ll be sworn in as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer. I’ll be wearing an outlandish fish-themed shirt paired with even more outlandish fish-themed trousers (pants mean underwear here). Just a few days after that, I’ll go shopping for everything I need to start a new life in a mud hut in my site. And just a few days after that, a Land Cruiser will deposit me at my empty hut and take off with a wave. And right there, when I take one more step into my hut, I will figuratively and quite literally be the furthest from home I’ve ever been (read it in your best Frodo Baggins voice).

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Today was the long-awaited announcement of our sites. The day we found out the exact place where we’ll be living for the next 24 months. It felt kind of like Christmas. Throughout training, I’ve been completely in the dark about my future site because I’m in the Bemba language group, the most widely spoken language in Zambia. My friends learning Nyanja (Eastern), Lunda (Northwest), Timbuka (Eastern), or Kaonde (Northwest) have known which provinces they’ll be going to since before we started training. In contrast, my site could have been in Northern, Luapula, or Central provinces and I’ve spent the past month and a half vacillating between option a.) weighing the pros and cons of each province and option b.) trying not to have an opinion at all because my preference has little to no influence on site selection. But now the wait is over, because today, after much pomp and circumstance (a timed obstacle course which we had to navigate while wearing chitenges like women), I found out that I’m going to Luapula Province!

Not to brag or anything, but I kind of won the Peace Corps Zambia site lottery. My site is in the village of Nshinda, in Nchelenge District in the northern part of Luapula. It’s a stone’s throw away from the border of the Congo, which we’re not allowed to visit, but it’s a cool enough fact to mention in a blog post anyway. I’m near the tarmac which enables easier transportation, and my nearest PCV neighbor is 10km away which is only about a half-hour bike ride. I’m first-generation at my site, which means I’ll be the first volunteer to live in my village. The PC staff member who inspected all of our sites reported that I have cell reception at my site, that “there are friendly playful kids around,” and that I “have a mansion-sized hut with nice rooms.”

I’m really excited. The first thing I heard about Luapula Province when I arrived in Zambia was that it is beautiful. Throughout training, the general consensus has been that Luapula is the most scenic and tropical of the provinces. It boasts several gorgeous waterfalls, national parks, and several large, pretty lakes with pristine beaches. (Translation: come visit me.) I’ve also heard that Luapula is very rural and underdeveloped. The population density is low, and this part of the country just doesn’t see the same amount of traffic as many of the other provinces. And because Peace Corps is relatively new to Nchelenge District and I’ll be a first-gen volunteer, I will likely also be the first American that many people will meet.

In just a week and a half, I leave for 2nd site visit where I’ll travel to Luapula Province for the first time. I’ll spend a few days at my actual site, meeting people in the community and trying to find a carpenter who will make me furniture to fill my currently empty mansion-sized hut.

New video: Introduction to MDaemon webinar recording

My hotel has a bomb shelter, does yours?

brianschon — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:41:48 +0000

*UPDATE: I’ll be spending the next three months in a town called Kolychivka. The population is 1,500. The internet access is unkown.

Know what the body needs after 30 hours of being awake? A solid 3 to 4 hours of sleep! Wait… that’s not right… Somehow, that’s all I could muster while listening to packs of dogs howl through the night and one of my roommates intermittently snoring. Turns out none of us slept much, but I feel pretty good today despite the lack of rest. The orientation day has been PACKED with information and I have my first language lesson in an hour. Oh, and I received my first 3 of 7 inoculations. Turns out yellow fever is a thing here. Tomorrow we move on to host families and the end of solid internet access (on the second floor of the hotel).

Okay, onto cool cultural things! The food so far is awesome. Yes, borsch has made it’s first appearance and I don’t see myself getting tired of it any time soon. Also, bread is a huge thing here. It comes in several forms, often stuffed with something delicious (like cocoa) and a traditional festive item is to break bread with people and dip it in salt, kinda like this:

Also, when I say things are Soviet, I really mean it. Check out our hotel. In case you were wondering, the top word says “hotel” and the bottom word says “cafe.”

Many of the buildings are old like this and with it comes interesting quirks, like a bomb shelter. Many industrial buildings in the area have them, and they’re huge! They really thought of everything- concave doors to better resist a blast; corners leading to more blast doors to resist the pressure; hand crank ventilators; areas to cook (and pee); and even a secret entrance! Plus, just in case you forgot your pillow, the bunks all have a wooden triangular wedge to prop yourself up. So, just to recount: Ukraine = full scale survival shelters. America = “duck and cover.” Except for some paranoid Americans. They seem to have gotten on the bandwagon in the last decade.

Oh, and the pipes here are really old. You’re supposed to throw used toilet paper in the trash, not the toilet. Speaking of which, there has and continues to be a country-wide shortage on toilet paper. If you are thinking of a solid care package item, TP would be great! Seriously… please send toilet paper. And Burt’s Bees.

First Impressions

brianschon — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:07:38 +0000

Okay, hard to give first impressions because (a) I have been up for 27 hours now and (b) I am super fueled on Lufthansa coffee and adrenaline. But I’ll try… Again, not sure the internet sich for the next leg.

Ukraine is very Soviet but very beautiful. Example: the hotel we are staying in has had a few updates, but the window sills are not sealed. It’s going to be -12 (meh, only celsisus) tonight, which means we are in for a cold evening. However, we are packed three to a room and we all barely fit so I assume we’ll all just breath on each other to warm up. You see the architecture and signs and it feels a bit like stepping into a bygone era. The quality of buildings usually waivers based on whether they were built under Stalin or later. Oh, and no one can drink the water. The people are absolutely wonderful- very nice, very helpful, and very smiley. Yes, the women dress very well.

I’ll be studying Ukrainian, which means I’ll likely work in the lovely Western half of the country. Within minutes of leaving Kyiv you can see why Peace Corps is here. The fancy cars fade to old vehicles from the 80′s and trucks with logs in tow (which are not cinched down). Small towns pepper the highway and are not plowed, some in decent condition, many in need of repair. Beautiful orthodox churches serve as the gateways to town.

I am currently in Chirnihiv so I leave you with this story: the magnificent church that sits at the entryway to Chirnihiv (prounounced: Churn-ee-give) is known as the church of 13 cannons.

Long ago cannons were placed at the church as defense, but in reality only 12 were situated. Legend has it a 13th was hidden but it has never been found. When someone asks another person out on a date in Chirnihiv and the person being asked does not want to accept, they often say, “yes, of course, let’s meet at the 13th cannon.”

Cleaning Up Gordon Campbell's Mess

Song of the Watermelon — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 05:14:49 +0000

According to every poll and every projection by every firm and every commentator, Christy Clark and her Liberal Party are about to be handed an unbalanced ass-whooping of the sort we British Columbians seem to enjoy dishing out to governing parties once every decade or so. Naturally, when this happens, I will be singing and dancing as much as the next person. But allow me to qualify my unencumbered joy thusly:

The impending Liberal defeat is not Christy Clark’s fault.

Well, not primarily. She certainly hasn’t helped. “Ethnicgate” does not reflect well on the Clark government, but this present ordeal is not particularly different from the “very ethnic” mini-scandal that failed to put a dent in the Harper Conservatives during the last federal election. People are outraged at the BC Liberals now because we were already predisposed to feel outraged. “Ethnicgate” provided a focus for what was always there.

So why don’t we like the Liberals? All arrows point to Gordon Campbell, that ghostly spectre whose past misdeeds will no doubt haunt the upcoming campaign. Clark is simply paying for her predecessor’s mistakes, and while she has committed her own fair share of blunders along the way, not even the charismatic lovechild of Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama could have prevented the SS Gordo from sinking. The Liberal Party’s fate was permanently sealed one summer day in 2009 — only two months after the last election — when the Campbell government announced its plan to introduce the dreaded HST.

Let me qualify my point once more. The Harmonized Sales Tax, which will finally meet its end next week, is not all bad. Nor is the old Provincial Sales Tax, which will replace it, all good. As far as consumption taxes go, value added taxes like the HST are undoubtedly more efficient than cascading taxes like the PST. And it may even be the case that businesses would have passed on all their HST savings to consumers through lower prices — eventually. (But then why was the business community so in love with the HST? Never mind.)

So what is wrong with the HST? I can’t speak for all British Columbians. Surely, the sneaky, underhanded way in which the government introduced the tax plays a big part in explaining why people don’t like it, and understandably so.

As for me personally, the main reason I signed the anti-HST initiative and voted against the new tax in the subsequent referendum is that I am not a fan of broad-based consumption taxes in general — be they HST, PST, or GST. Such taxes are notorious for taking a bigger bite out of the incomes of the poor than the rich. And while I realize that it is unrealistic to eliminate both the HST and the PST all at once, I came to the conclusion during the HST debate that the only proposal I could support would be a conscious effort to shift taxes incrementally away from consumption and towards more sensible tax bases. In other words, lower the sales tax — whatever form it takes — and recoup lost revenue by raising income taxes, corporate taxes, or carbon taxes (a more targeted consumption tax).

Of course, neither the Campbell nor the Clark Liberals gave any indication that they were willing to engage in a profound conversation of this nature. All I can do is hope that the incoming NDP government will be more open to such an exercise. In the meantime, I happily count down to election day and await the long overdue demise of the Campbell era — more than two years after he stepped down as Premier.

Group 84 Is Sunburned

April R — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 02:02:06 +0000

For all our best intentions, we’re still looking a little more like a collection of freshly steamed lobsters. Never before have you seen a group so haphazardly toasted. No amount of sunscreen has protected us.

Otherwise I’d say we’re having a great time. This past week, we continued our training in Hellshire, as well as making some trips outside of town. We ventured back into Kingston a few time to visit the market, learn some cool Jamaican dance moves, and eat some delicious ice cream.

We also visited Port Royal. You know, like the Port Royal from Pirates of Caribbean. In case you weren’t aware, Port Royal was a real place, located right here in Jamaica. Back during the pirating heydays, it was the seventh largest natural port and known as the wickedest city in the world. But then in 1692, a terrible earthquake shook the land and sent more than 75% of the land under water. What’s left has been preserved and protected by the small town of Port Royal and the country of Jamaica.

We had a chance to tour the land, browse over some recovered artifacts, and watch a short video on Port Royal. Then it was off to Devon House for ice cream!

On Thursday, we went to the market. Picture Canal Street in New York, only larger, louder, and busier. People were set up on blankets and tarps in the street, selling almost anything you could think of. Shoes, clothes, handbags, hats, soap, household items, and food up the wazoo. That was probably the coolest part. You walk into the “food” section of the market and there is vendor after vendor, under a tarp for an overhang, selling coconuts, melons, beans, flour, sugar, limes, almond corn, lychees, and so much more. There were fruits I’d never even heard of!

We had one assignment that day; buy something at the market. I can’t speak for the other trainees, but I was a little overwhelmed by it all. I didn’t know what to buy, or where to turn first. I finally settled on picking up a bar of soap, since I needed one. Another trainee haggled a vendor for a coconut and managed to get a decent sized one for pretty cheap. The man used a massive knife to cut open a hole just large enough to drink from. The water inside was delicious and hydrating. She was satisfied for hours!

We also managed public transportation that day. It was part of our learning experience. We broke off into small groups and went with an LCF on the taxis, the buses and minibuses. What an experience! The roads are bumpy, and there were way too many people crammed into that tiny vehicle. I felt safe with my LCF, but I think when it comes time to do it on my own I’ll be much more nervous the first couple of times.

Anyway, we have a security test on Thursday, and we have to get 100% and we have Patois lessons all week. Friday is Good Friday, and so we get the day off (hallelujah!), and then on Sunday we move from Hellshire to our HUBs for HBT. There, I’ll be assigned to a new host family and I’ll be staying with that one for next five weeks. Group 84 will split up for the first time since our arrival. Education will be in one town; Environment will be in another.

And so the training continues.

PST is Coming Back (and How to Save Money)

timcos — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:00:52 +0000

As you know, BC is transitioning back from HST to PST on April 1st, 2013. What this means is that you can save money by buying your office supplies before April 1st.

According to Finance contributor Jacob Perry at BC Business, you should be making your big purchases in March (including your office supplies). “Businesses registered to get input tax credits should purchase goods before April 1 in order to take advantage of tax credits on big-ticket items,” says Perry.

With the new PST coming into effect on April 1, the taxes on your purchases will not change (under the HST, you pay 12% tax and under the PST/GST you will pay 7% + 5%). The difference is that after April 1, the 7% PST will not be refundable to your business.

For example, if your business is looking to pay $1,000 for office supplies, you will pay $1,120 now and pay the same amount after April 1. However, your cost for tax purposes up to March 31 for those office supplies will be $1,000. But after April 1, it will be $1,070.

According to Gabrielle Loren, Partner of Accounting firm Loren, Nancke & Company, from today until the transition, you will be able to deduct the HST paid from any HST collected, but after April 1, you will be able to deduct only the 5% GST paid, thus having 7% less in cash flow.

Bottom line: Make your purchases before April 1, including:
- Office Supplies
- Ink & Toner
- Technology
- Break Room Supplies
- Office Furniture
- Promotional Items

If you have any questions about the tax implications of your purchases, feel free to contact us. Visit our ONLINE STORE to make your purchases.

Best regards,
Toma Doo, President

PS- A few more tax tips: 1) Get your lawyer to invoice you before March 31, as legal fees are the only taxed professional services. 2) Wait until April 1 to purchase services, as most services are nontaxable under PST so if you wait until April, that will improve your cash flow slightly.

This Is Jamaica

April R — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:23:31 +0000

The Mission: Get everything from the table into these four bags.

Phew! I’m glad that’s over with. Or is it?

I may have cleared customs and I may have stayed within my weight limit, but this is only the beginning. For the next 9 ½ weeks, I’ll be living out of my suitcase. You see, I’m not a volunteer just yet. I’m only a Trainee.

Before I can be sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV), I have to complete my Pre-Service Training (PST). During the next 9 ½ weeks, I’ll live with two different host families, in three different towns, and learn/train in five different categories: Language, Cross Cultural, Health, Safety, and Practical Job Training.

But before I go on, let me introduce us properly. We are Group 84, comprised of two sectors, Education and Environment. I am one of thirty people invited to serve in Jamaica. The Peace Corps has been with Jamaica since its initiation in 1962, and there are presently 80 volunteers already in service. Group 84 is, naturally, the eighty-fourth group of volunteers to offer their experience, manpower, and dedication to this tiny, but beautiful island. Together, we bring to the table a collection of unique skills and knowledge, which will aid us in our task to promote world peace and friendship.

I love my group. We range in age from early twenties to late sixties, and we hail from as far as Alaska and Hawaii. Everyone is incredible. Because we are a part of Peace Corps, we all share similar views in terms of friendship and acceptance, recognizing that we will rely on each other to get through the hardships presented during the next two years. We’re a family; we will all experience ups and downs that come from being a volunteer. There is an unspoken agreement that in order to serve effectively, we need each other for support.

Group 84, first arriving in Jamaica

When we first arrived in Jamaica, we were immediately ushered to the PC Headquarters in Kingston, where we were greeted by the PCJ staff and given a Welcome Orientation. We completed another set of medical forms, collected our cell phones, and dropped off our passports, and picked a Welcome Binder. It’s huge, black binder with a ton of information we’ll use through-out our training. Then, it was off to the Mayfair Hotel.

By Friday, we were in Hellshire, St. Catherine. We’ve been assigned host families for the next two weeks while we complete our Community Based Training. My family is great. It’s a mother and a daughter, and staying with them is a girl about my age, and a young boy of ten. They are generous, laid back, and choose not to go to church. In my home, I have a hot shower and Internet. Did I luck out or what?

Dipping our feet at the Mayfair Hotel in Kingston

Overall, there is still a lot to adjust to. I’m trying all sorts of new foods, and enjoying most of it. My host family has accommodated my inability to handle spicy foods. Meanwhile, I am busy learning the language (Patois) while at the same time, trying to understand it when my host mom speaks it to me. Currency is another adjustment that needs to be made, as well as maintaining a curfew as not to put myself in unnecessary danger.

But I’m handling it all. Through my discomfort (for lack of a better word), I experience feelings of homesickness and separation anxiety from my friends, family, and iPhone. I’m trying not to think about the fact that my car will be sold…

Meanwhile, I continue to remind myself that this is what I wanted. A culture shock. A new and somewhat frightening experience. A chance to rise above my spoiled, American lifestyle and embrace something so much bigger than me. Presently, I (or we) am at the bottom of a steep mountain, looking to the peak and wondering how on earth I’ll get there. One step at a time. And in the company of my fellow Trainees.

In Jamaica, fish is eaten whole. I loved it!

Mission Accomplished!

On-Premise Public Folder Migration to Public Folders in Exchange Online

rebootrinserepeat — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:09:06 +0000

Earlier this week, I spoke with Office 365 support regarding on-premise public folder migrations to the new version of O365. Based on what the engineer provided to me, the following is an “officially” supported migration path for migrating public folders in Exchange on-premise to public folders in Exchange Online. Of course, there is no publicly accessible documentation for this procedure but I have tested these steps (in a lab environment) and it does work. It is definitely not elegant though.

Tasks…

- Identify/record which on-premise public folders need to be migrated

- Identify/record permissions of each on-premise public folder

- Create Public Folder mailbox in EAC of Exchange Online (or via PowerShell)

- Create public folders with same structure as that on-premise and assign permissions (NOTE: This task can be performed via EAC, PowerShell or Outlook)

- Export on-premise public folders to PST file via Outlook

- Connect to Exchange Online mailbox via Outlook client to access public folders

- Import public folder PST into Exchange Online public folder structure

Caveats…

- Public Folders are not accessible or visible via Outlook Web App (OWA) in Exchange Online

- Public Folders mailboxes are limited to 25GB total size

- Additional Public Folder mailboxes seem to do nothing of value in Exchange Online

- Public Folder mailboxes do not require a license

Requirements…

- You must use Outlook 2007 or later to access public folders in Exchange Online

Best of luck.

Reasons why Pre-Service Training is like kindergarten

Matt — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:56:31 +0000

-On my first day at my homestay, my father writes out a card detailing all of the family’s names, their ages, and my village. If I get lost, I am to show people the card so I can get help finding my way home.

-I dutifully recite to my parents every day where I’m going, what I’ll be doing, and when I’m going to come back.

-My classmates and I compare notes on what our moms cook for us at home. Everyone is jealous that I get a soda occasionally for lunch.

-This is nothing compared with the envy that shows when I proudly announce that I have had hot dogs one day.

-I bike to school wearing a bright red helmet visible from space (Peace Corps policy — the helmet, not the color. The color was just unfortunate).

-My dad tells me it is important to have friends, because it is a sad life without friends.

-I am not allowed to be out after dark.

-I go to sleep at around 9pm some nights. On weekends.

-Few things make me happier than drinking an ice-cold orange soda.

-The only things I talk about now are poop, food, and bugs. In that order.

Kırma Eleme Tesisleri

tsamakine — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:19:44 +0000

KIRMA ELEME TESİSLERİNİN İŞLEYİŞİ ÜZERİNE

ÖZET: Kırma-eleme tesislerinde verimlilik ve kalitenin en uygun şartlarda sağlanabilmesi için kırma-eleme tesislerinin dizaynı, kırıcı, elek ve konveyör bant seçimi, kırılacak malzemenin jeolojik, teknolojik, jeomekanik ve yapısal özellikleri dikkate alınarak yapılmalıdır. Ayrıca ocaktan kırıcıya gelen malzeme homojen değilse ve kullanılan formasyon jeolojik süreç içerisinde farklı yapısal hareketler etkisi ile kırıklı ve çatlaklı yüzeyler ihtiva ediyorsa, malzemede bu süreksizlikler boyunca ezilme, bozulma, ayrışma ve alterasyon etkisi ile sütü, killi ve demir oksitli zonlar oluşur. Bu özellikler kırmataş üretimini, kalitesini, çalışma düzeni ve kapasitesini olumsuz etkiler. Kaliteli ve kübik malzeme üretimi için taşın yapısal özellikleri ile birlikte taşın kırılma şekli de önemlidir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kırma-Eleme Tesisleri, Jeolojik Süreksizlikler, Primer (Çeneli) Kırıcılar, Sekonder (Rotorlu) Kırıcılar, Tersiyer (Dik milli) Kırıcılar

1. GİRİŞ

Kırma-eleme tesisleri maden sektöründe üretilen cevherlerin işlenmesi, inşaat sektöründe kırmataş üretimi, (asfalt, beton, yol malzemesi vs.) için kullanılan elektro-mekanik tesislerdir. Malzeme üretiminde kalite ve maliyet dengesinin sağlanabilmesi için gerekli bilgi ve tecrübenin oluşumu hiçte kolay değildir. Zira çok farklı meslek disiplinlerinin (maden, inşaat, jeoloji, makina, elektrik ve elektronik, işletme, iktisat vs.) bir ekip halinde, koordineli bir şekilde çalışmaları gerekmektedir. Böyle bir geniş yelpazeli bilgi birikiminin oluşması da doğal olarak zordur. Ancak en uygun kırmaeleme teknolojisini yakalayabilmek için çok nadir de olsa özverili çalışan işletmeler görmek mümkündür.

Taşocaklarından çıkarılan malzeme genellikle üç farklı kırma işlemine tabi tutulur. Primer, sekonder ve tersiyer olarak adlandırılan bu kırma sistemleri sonucunda malzeme nihai eleklerden geçirilerek istenilen boyutlarda sınıflandırılarak kırmataş (agrega) üretiminin son aşaması tamamlanmış olur.

2. KIRMA-ELEME TEKNOLOJİSİ

Kırmataş üretimi 4 ana aşamada gerçekleşir. Bu üretim aşamasındaki maliyet oranlarının analizi, kırma eleme’nin ne denli önemli olduğunu göstermektedir (Çizelge 1).

2.1. Primer Kırıcılar

Primer kırıcılar; primer çeneli kırıcılar ve primer rotorlu kırcılar olarak iki çeşittir.

Primer çeneli kırıcılar gövde, sabit çene ve pitmandan (oynak çene) oluşurlar. Kırma işlemi yapılırken, pitman ileri geri hareket dengesini yaylar vasıtasıyla sağlar. Eksantrik gezmesi ve yay esneme ölçüsü ileri geri hareket mesafesini sağlar. Çeneli kırıcı malzemeyi sıkıştırarak kırdığı için üretim genellikle yapraksıdır.

Her türlü dağ ve dere malzemesinin kırılmasında kullanılan bu kırıcılar, taşın ilk kırma işlemini yaparlar ve tesisin büyüklüğüne göre kırılma boyutları ayarlanabilir. 140′lık bir kırıcının çene açıklığı 18-20 cm’dir. Ülkemizde primer kırıcı olarak genellikle primer çeneli kırıcı sistemi kullanılmaktadır. Bu kırıcılar yaklaşık 200-300 devir/dakika ile çalışır. Primer rotorlu kırıcılar; gövde, rotor ve çarpma plakalarından oluşurlar. Rotorda sıralı bıçaklar vardır. Kapak bölümünde kırma ve çarpma astarları vardır. Gövde içi komple aşınma astarları ile kaplıdır. Bu tip kırıcılar çarptırma ve sıkıştırma ile kırma işlemi yaptığı için çeneli kırıcılara oranla daha kaliteli (kübik) üretim yaparlar. Ancak primer rotorlu kırıcı kullanımı ülkemizde pek yaygın değildir

2.2. Sekonder Kırıcılar

Sekonder kırcılar sekonder çeneli kırıcı, sekonder darbeli kırıcı, sekonder rotorlu kırıcıolarak üretilmektedir.
Sekonder çeneli kırıcılar yapraksı malzeme kırdığından dolayı sekonder kırıcı olarak pek tercih edilmemektedir. Bu kırıcılar primer çeneli kırıcıların aynısıdır. Fakat primer çeneli kırıcılara oranla daha yüksek bir devirde çalışırlar. Devir sayısı % 25 oranında daha fazladır.
Sekonder darbeli kırıcılar çarptırma özellikleri olduklarından dolayı kübik malzeme üretirler. Bu kırıcılar gövde ve rotordan oluşurlar. Rotor üzerine kama ve cıvatalarla bıçaklar monte edilir. Ön yüzünde kaburgalar vardır. Rotor bıçakları malzemeyi kaburgalara çarptırarak kırarlar. Genellikle 200-450 devir/dakika ile çalışırlar.
Sekonder rotorlu kırıcılar çarpma ve sıkıştırma özellikleri olduklarından dolayı karışık malzeme üretirler. Bu tip kırıcılar 400- 600 devir/dakika ile dönerler ve primer rotorlu kırıcılarla aynı sistemde üretilirler.

2.3. Tersiyer Kırıcılar

Tersiyer kırıcılar merdaneli, çekiçli (değirmen), darbeli, konik ve düşey milli kırıcılar şeklinde dizayn edilirler. Merdaneli kırıcılar, tamamen sıkıştırarak kırma yaparlar. Birbirine ters istikamette dönen iki tamburdan oluşurlar. Arasına aldığı malzemeyi iki tambur arasında sıkıştırarak kırma yaptığı için, üretimleri yapraksıdır ve darbeli kırıcılara kıyasla daha az toz üretirler. Çekiçli kırıcılar, gövde ve rotordan oluşurlar. Rotora bağlanan çok sayıdaki çekiç yüksek devir (600-1500 devir/dakika) sayesinde çarpma işlemini yaparlar. Dolayısıyla üretimler kübik ve kalitelidir. Ayrıca kireçtaşı gibi yumuşak malzemelerde kum oranını da (0-5 mm) arttırırlar.
Darbeli kırıcılar, hem sekonder hem de tersiyer olarak kullanılmaktadır. Çarptırma özellikleri oldukları için kübik ve kaliteli malzeme üretirler.
Düşey milli kırıcılar, hem sekonder hem de tersiyer amaçlı kullanılırlar. Bu kırıcılar tamamen çarpma ile kırma yaptıkları için üretimleri kübik ve çok kalitelidir. Düşey milli kırıcalar, gövde ve düşey milde bulunan rotordan oluşurlar. Gövdenin içi komple sabit astarlarla kaplıdır. Rotora ise bıçaklar monte edilmiş durumdadır. Kırma işlemini; hızlı devri (1000— 1500 devir/dakika) sayesinde malzemeyi astarlarla ve birbirlerine çarptırarak gerçekleştirmektedir.
Konik kırıcılar, sekonder ve tersiyer olarak kullanılırlar. Bu kırıcılar sert ve aşındırıcı malzemeleri kırmak için geliştirilmiştir. Kendi ekseni etrafında (100-1500 devir/dakika) dönerek malzemeyi ezme ve darbe etkisiyle kırarlar.
Kırma ve eleme tesislerindeki üretim kapasitesinin sağlıklı olabilmesi için kırcılar arasındaki kırma dengesi sağlanmalıdır. Yani sekonder kırıcının deşarj aralığı primer kırıcının deşarj aralığına göre ayarlanmalıdır. Tersiyer kırıcının deşarj aralığı ise sekonder kırıcının deşarj aralığına ve ayrıca eleğin en üst elek ebadına uygun olarak ayarlanmalıdır. Örneğin; 140′lık bir kırma-eleme tesisinin primer açıklığı 18 cm iken sekonder açıklığı 6 cm, tersiyer açıklığı 2,5 cm olmalıdır. Böylece tesise verilen malzemenin tesis içinde fazla kalması 3-4 Aralık 2003/Istanbul engellenmiş olur. Bu da üretimin sağlıklı ve verimli olmasını sağlar.

2.4. Elekler

Kırma işleminden sonra en önemli parametre elek sistemidir. Primer kırıcıdan çıkan malzeme ön elek dediğimiz ağır hizmet eleğinden (ızgaralı ön elek) geçirilir. Böyleceprimer kırıcıdan çıkan malzemenin istenilen ebadının (30-40 mm’den ufak olan parçalarının) sekonder kırıcıya girmeden ayırıcı eleğe (nihai elek) gitmesi sağlanır veya nihai ürünün temiz ve kaliteli olması için bu malzeme yol malzemesi veya ikinci kalite ürün olarak sistem dışına çıkartılır. Bu sistem taş tozu oranının (0-5 mm) düşmesine ve agrega (kırmataş) üretiminin artmasına yardımcı olur.
Sekonder ve tersiyer kırıcılardan çıkan malzemenin ayırma işlemi nihai eleklerle yapılır. Bu elekler 3 veya 4 katlı olup meyilli ve yatay elek şeklindedir. Devirleri dakikada 500 ile 1500 olan bu eleklerin titreşim sistemleri ileri-geri ve yukarı-aşağıdır.

2.5. Konveyör Bantlar

Ocaktan kamyonlarla gelen malzeme bunkere boşaltılır. Bunkerdeki malzeme ızgaralı titreşimli besleyici vasıtasıyla baypass oluğu ve primer kırıcıya aktarılır. Baypass oluğundan akan malzeme taşıyıcı bant (konveyör bant) ile stabilize malzemesi veya atık malzeme (Baypass) olarak kırma-eleme sisteminden uzaklaştırılır.
Kırma-eleme sistemi içerisinde malzemenin taşınma işlemi (primer kırıcıdan ön elek ve sekonder kırıcıya, buradan nihai elek ve tersiyer kırıcıya ve en sonstok alanına) farklı boyutlardaki konveyör bantları ile yapılmaktadır. Konveyör bantlar şase üzerine yerleştirilmiş alt ve üst taşıyıcı makaralarla çalışırlar. Kafa ve kuyruk bölümlerde bulunan tamburlar hareket mekanizmasını sağlarlar. Konveyör bantların sağa ve sola kaymaması için yan bölmelerde istikamet makaraları vardır. Ayrıca kapalı maden işletmelerinde zincirli konveyörlerde kullanılmaktadır.

3. KIRMA-ELEMEYİ ETKİLEYEN PARAMETRELER

Kırma-eleme tesislerinin maksimum kapasitesi ve ürünlerin kalitesi kuru ve temiz taş ortamı için dizayn edilmiştir. Yani kuru ve temiz taş, kırıcılar için ideal bir çalışma malzemesidir. Eğer ocaktan gelen taş homojen değilse ve kullanılan formasyon jeolojik süreç içerisinde farklı yapısal hareketler etkisi ile kırıklı ve çatlaklı yüzeyler ihtiva ediyorsa malzemede bu süreksizlikler boyunca ezilme, bozulma, ayrışma ve alterasyon etkisi ile si İtli, killi ve demir oksitli zonlar oluşur. Bu zonlar sağlam taşla iç içe bulunduğu için malzemenin yapısı ve rengini olumsuz etkiler (Erguvanlı 1946). Özellikle yağmurlu havalarda ve/veya yeraltı su seviyesi altında çalışıldığı zaman bu etkileşim daha da artar.
Bu gibi ocaklarda kırıcıya gelen malzeme kuru ise ayrışmış, bozulmuş ve topraklı malzeme kırıcıya gelmeden önce besleyici ızgaralarından elenerek kolaylıkla sistemden uzaklaştırılır. Fakat malzeme ıslak ve nemli ise baypass işlemi tam anlamı ile yapılamaz; sıvanmak, yapışmak ve topaklanmak suretiyle bozuk malzemenin bir kısmı üretim sistemine girerek hem nihai ürünlerin kalitesini olumsuz etkiler; hem de bunkerdeki besleyici kenarlarına yapışır ve malzemenin kırıcıya akışını yavaşlatarak üretim kapasitesini olumsuz etkiler. Ayrıca ıslak ve temizlenmemiş malzeme, oluk ve elek (özellikle taş tozu eleklerinde) tıkanmalarına neden olur. Bunların temizlenmesi de ayrıca zaman ve iş kaybıdır (Halili ve Gözübol 1999).
Yağışlı havalarda sulu ve ıslak malzeme kırmanın başka bir olumsuz etkisi de konveyör bantların kayma ve patinaj yapmasına neden olmasıdır. Sulu ıslak malzeme kırmanın diğer bir olumsuz yanı, sekonder ve tersiyer kırıcı bıçaklarının suyun etkisi ile daha kolay ve çabuk aşınmasıdır. Eleklerin ıslak ve rutubetli malzemeyi iyi eleyemeyeceğinden, bilhassa 0-5 mm’nin gözlerini sıvayacağından 5-12 mm ve hatta 12-18 mm bile tozlu çıkar. Ayrıca yağışlı havalar ocak içi artık malzemesinin artmasına da neden olur. Başka bir deyişle normal hava şartlarında kırılabilecek malzemenin bir kısmı hafriyat malzemesi olarak ocaktan uzaklaştırılır. Bu da üretim maliyetinin artmasına neden olur. Ocak içi makinalarının sağlıklı bir ortamda çalışabilmeleri için ocak içi suyu kontrollü olarak tahliye edilmelidir. Suyun bir kısmının; yollan sulamakta, toz bastırma sisteminde, ayrıca zaman zaman kirli malzemenin ocak içinde yıkanarak kırılmasında kullanılarak daha sağlıklı sonuçlar elde edilmesi mümkündür. Böylece hem malzemedeki kirlilik oranı, hem de kırma elemeden çıkan toz oranı en aza indirilmiş olur (Halili 2000).
Kırma-eleme tesislerinde diğer bir önemli parametre taşın sertlik derecesi ve katman kalınlığıdır. Sert ve kırılgan (rijit) taşlarda kırıcı (primer) açıklığını arttırmak mümkündür. Taşın ince ve orta katmanlı (özellikle tortul kayaçlarda) oluşu, kırılan malzemenin yassılık endeksini olumsuz etkiler. Bu da malzemenin yapraksı olmasına yardımcı olur. Kırma-eleme tesislerinde üretimin sağlıklı olabilme şartlarından biri de işlenecek taşın tesise uygun halde çıkarılmasıdır. Yani delme ve patlatmanın primer kırıcı açıklığına uygun ve sağlıklı yapılmasıdır (Halili 2000).
Çalışma esnasında kırma-eleme ünitelerinden, taşıma ve yüklemeden çıkan toz, tesislerinin elektrik elektronik sistemlerine, makina parkına ve çevreye zarar vermektedir. Bu gibi zararları minimize etmek için kırmaeleme tesislerinekuru ve ıslak filtrasyon sistemikurulmalıdır. Ayrıca şantiye sahası ve yollar sulama arazözleri ile sulanmalıdır. Elektrik ve elektronik sistemler (pano ve otomasyon bölümleri) imkanlar ölçüsünde tozlu ortamlardan uzak tutulmalıdır. Verimliliğin artması için çalışma disiplini ve prensiplerini ilke edinmiş, yetişmiş ve kalifiye elemanlar kullanılmalıdır.

4. SONUÇ VE ÖNERİLER

• Kırma-eleme tesislerinde kırıcı makina (primer, sekonder, tersiyer kırıcılar), elek ve bant seçimi, tesis ve oluk dizaynı, bant yüksekliği ve eğimi, elek ve kırıcı kapasitesi (üretim kapasitesi), besleyici titreşimi, motor devirleri vs. taşınjeolojik, yapısal, jeomekanik, teknolojik ve kimyasal özellikleri göz önünde tutularak yapılmalıdır. Zira jeolojik ortama göre makina yapmak, makinaya göre taş hazırlamaktan daha kolaydır.

• Kırmataş (agrega) kalitesini etkileyen parametrelerin başında taşın kırılma (sıkıştırarak kırma, çarptırılarak kırma) ile ocak malzemesinin litolojik, yapısal ve fiziksel özellikleri gelir.

• Kaliteli ve kübik malzeme üretimi için çarptırma özellikli (malzemeyi astarlara ve birbirine çarptıran) düşey milli kırıcıların kullanılması daha uygun sonuçlar vermektedir.

• Kırma tesislerindeki kırıcı bıçaklarının (primer, sekonder ve tersiyer) dökümündeki kimyasal karışım, taşın litolojisine (mineralojik, petrografik ve kimyasal analizine) ve çalışma ortamının hidrolojik ve hidrojeolojik durumuna göre ayarlanmalıdır. Böylece bıçak ve astarlardaki aşınma minimize edilir.

• Kireçtaşı, kumtaşı, bazalt vb. gibi farklı kayalar için, aynı özellikte kırıcı aksesuarları kullanılmamalıdır. İmalatçı firmaların taşın teknolojik, kimyasal, petrografik, yapısal ve hidrojeolojik özelliklerine uygun aksesuar geliştirmeleri kırma-elemenin kalite ve verimliliğini arttırarak üretim maliyetini düşürecektir.

Pictures, Month 1

We visited Lusaka today for the first time since we started training. After gorging myself on greasy American-style food and promptly making myself feel sick again (so worth it), I availed myself of a pay-to-play internet station at the post office in Manda Hill Mall (9 kwacha for an hour/30mb of data, not bad) and uploaded my first set of pictures from my camera. All of the ones I’ve posted thus far were taken with the camera on my phone, which isn’t horrible. These, however, are the handful of shots that I feel best capture my first month in Zambia.

I’m so used to it now that it no longer seems strange, until I imagine it happening in the USA. Then I remember how remarkable it truly is.

Let’s say you studied Spanish, as I did for 4 years. And let’s say you didn’t live in a large Spanish-speaking town (which wasn’t the case for me but is necessary for the comparison). The parallel situation is, essentially, that you’d shout “Hola!” at every person who looks like they might speak Spanish. Crazy, huh?! Well, that’s kind of what it’s like here.

There was a young boy in my training site who, whenever he saw us, rode across the field on his bicycle shouting, “Hello, my name is Garnum!” Well, I’m not entirely sure that was his name because all efforts to engage in conversation with him led to his cycling away. But his opening with such enthusiasm was quite unexpected so early on in my service. Now, it is the norm.

The standard around Govi-Altai is that students who are learning English will give a confident “Hi” or “Hello.” To them I will respond in kind. Sometimes there is a “What is your name?” or “How old are you?” in either direction. A few of the daring young ones, those not yet learning English, will make the attempt at a “Hello” or “Hi” and that’s the end of it. To the shy young ones, I give a smile and a Mongolian greeting, which sometimes turns into a dialogue exhausting all my questions and answers in a few minutes.

Occasionally, I am taken aback by something quite unexpected. The best for my sense of purpose was when a girl said, “Hello, Love.” I figured I must have taught her class recently and she remembered my name. The best for my sense of humor was the boy who said, “Hi. Baby.” I was prepared to give a “hi” back, but the delayed “baby” totally threw me and I could only laugh. And every once in a while, there is a random person just waiting for the opportunity to try out the one English phrase they know, be it “Merry Christmas,” “I love you,” or “Happy Birthday.”

Some of the other volunteers have gotten “hellos” in Russian or German, but not me, not yet. If it happens, it will probably lead to a blog wherein I assert my American-ness. Until then, Goodbye!

Missa pro Eligendo Pontifice/Mass for the Election of the Roman Pontiff and the beginning of the Conclave

petercanisiusmichaeldavidkang — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 15:04:14 +0000

Both events are live from Rome, at Vatican Player, http://www.vatican.va/video/ and I believe are also covered live by several Catholic televisions in the USA, Canada, and other countries.

1. Missa pro Eligendo Pontifice / Mass for the Election of the Roman Pontiff

The Cardinals present in Rome, all the Cardinal-electors that will be entering the Conclave, will first gather for a Solemn Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica on Tuesday morning, 12 March 2013 at 10 am Rome time (CET or UTC+1). The Mass will be lead by the Cardinal Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, who is a non-elector.

Time in other parts of the world :

Tuesday, 12 March 2013 at 9 am UTC // 4 am EST // 1 am PST // 4 pm WIB or UTC+7 // 5 pm Singapore time or UTC+8

2. Beginning of the Conclave : Entry of the Cardinal-electors into the Sistine Chapel

The Cardinal-electors will assemble in Pauline Chapel on Tuesday afternoon, and the event will begin live at 4.30 pm Rome time (CET or UTC+1). The Cardinals will wear their full choir dress and then will proceed into the Sistine Chapel while singing the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus to invoke the Holy Spirit.

Then in the Sistine Chapel, the Cardinal-electors will take their oath, beginning with the senior Cardinal Bishop-elector, Cardinal Giovanni Batista Re, who leads the Conclave, and then the famous ‘extra omnes’ or ‘everybody else out’ order will be said by the Master of Papal Liturgical Celebrations, Monsignor Guido Marini.

Time in other parts of the world :

Tuesday, 12 March 2013 at 3.30 pm UTC // 10.30 am EST // 7.30 am PST // 11.30 pm WIB or UTC+7 // Wednesday, 00.30 am Singapore time or UTC+8
