Waters Flowing Over Brandywine Falls (Cuyahoga Valley National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A sideward view looking across the creek and then falls. Because of the rains the day prior, I didn't need to close have a longer shutter speed even with a variable ND filter I was using. Composing the image was a matter of lining of the creek and waterfalls while using some of the nearby trees and plantlife to complete this setting in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I worked with control points and color control points in Capture NX2 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted. I then added a Foliage and Darken/Lighten Center CEP filter to give that little bit extra for the final image.

You might be looking for the perfect beds in Bedford. You’ll need to think about a few factors that you all consider while choosing the bed.

– “No one should be swimming in that area,” said Bedford Police Deputy Chief Rick Suts. “A young  man lost his life trying to save another person, which he was successful in doing, but was unable to get himself out of the water. This is in an area where no one should have been swimming in the first place.”

There are signs in the area stating  there is to be no swimming, but people continue to go in the water, Suts said.

“It’s dangerous because the way the water moves the water comes through a railroad trestle underneath it and it pushes out to a pool,” Suts said. “The kids like it because it’s fast and they get to go down a smooth tunnel but what happens, it gets up underneath a shale shelf and they get trapped underneath and can’t get back out.”

In the last 10 years, Bedford Firefighters rescued people from the area nine times and recovered four bodies.

Invest In Texas-Real-Estate In-2020!

Bill Rapp here with the Heartfelt and Hot in Houston Blog, and this is our newest segment: Invest In Texas-Real-Estate In-2020! 2020 will be a challenging year for investors, with uncertainty about the economy, the political situation, and international developments. Still, more people than ever are renting, and that means investors mainly need to be cautious about where and how they invest. A big advantage for investors in Texas is that people are still moving there. In 2018, 85,000 people moved to Texas from other states, for a total population increase of 380,000. Compare that with New York, where 180,000 moved out and California, which lost 160,000. One reason people move to Texas is because of jobs: 235,000 new ones in 2019. Another is that housing is still affordable. With the exception of Austin, home prices in the big markets are under $300,000 and in the smaller markets they're mainly under $200,000. Invest In Texas-Real-Estate In-2020! I want to explain two key metrics in our table. Home Price to Income Price shows by how much actual home prices are higher then the “income” price, a calculated number closely related to local income that tells us if and by how much a market is over-priced. It's not a precise measure, but above 20%, you're in over-priced territory. The Price/Rent ratio is just the average home price divided by the average annual rent; it helps decide what kinds of investment are most likely to succeed. Dallas. Although the Dallas market is a bit over-priced, the Price/Rent ratio of 21 is low enough to allow straight single-family rentals. Subdividing and apartments may be safer long-term bets because the rate at which home prices are increasing—4% in the past 12 months—is slowing down. In 2017, it was 12%. The price dynamics suggest we're close to the peak of the market, so if you were thinking of selling a Dallas property, do it now. The risk of an actual fall in prices isn't very high because job growth is strong—over-priced markets can come to a soft landing—but a national economic slowdown would change that. Dallas is the financial and business services center of Texas and very entwined with national growth. Within the Dallas market, investors in rental property have less risk in areas with a lot of renters, like Addison, Irving, Grand Prairie and Denton, and the 75204, 75220 and 75287 zip codes of Dallas itself. Houston. Like Dallas, the Houston market is over-priced, but with a Price/Rent ratio of 21, that makes it easy to rent out single-family homes without subdividing. And the slowing rise of home prices suggests that subdividing and apartments may be better bets for a while because we could be near the peak of home prices. However, Houston didn't have as much of a boom as Dallas (price increases in recent years were around 6%), so the odds are fair that prices will continue to rise at a moderate pace. The economic risk, on the other hand, is more difficult to calculate. The local economy features a large refinery, chemicals and energy services component that's tightly tied to the price of oil, which could go up or down depending on international developments. Long-term investors don't need to worry about this so much because long-term growth will be just fine, but during the next couple of years job growth—and demand for housing—could fall quickly during an international slowdown. Investors will find less risk among the large concentrations of renters in Webster, Galveston, Pasadena, Huntsville, and the 77006, 77036, 77060, 77074 and 77090 zip codes of Houston itself. Invest In Texas-Real-Estate In-2020! San Antonio. Unlike the other big Texas markets, San Antonio has not been in a price boom and is not over-priced. The 7% increase in home prices in the past year is a marker of strong demand—for both homes and rentals—which, along with the Price/Rent ratio of 21, makes all types of investment easier: single-family rentals, flipping, rehabs to higher rents, and subdividing. Home prices increased in the 6% to 7% range for several years because population growth has been high. The local economy features big tourism and finance sectors and a large military presence, and is less vulnerable to a national economic slowdown. The suburbs don't have high concentrations of renters, but within San Antonio itself investors can find concentrations in the 78216, 78229, 78240 and 78256 zip codes. Austin. This market is also over-priced but probably not yet near a peak because the rate of price increase has been steady at the current rate of 6% and job growth remains steady above 2%. The Price/Rent ratio of 22 is at the upper end of acceptable but means that straight single-family rentals, flipping, rehabs to higher rents, and subdividing are all possible. Cautious investors may want to stick with apartments or subdividing, nonetheless, because over-priced markets always come back in line with the “income” price. There's less risk of an actual fall in home prices in Austin because of the economic stability provided by the large government sector (state government and university), but a future period of stagnant prices is quite possible. As in San Antonio, most of the suburbs don't have large concentrations of renters that reduce investment risk. San Marcos is the best bet, but within Austin itself there are lots of renters in zip codes 78705, 78728, 78741 and 78758. Fort Worth. This market is as over-priced as its neighbor Dallas but economically more vulnerable, with a cyclical energy sector. The Price/Rent ratio of 20 allows straight single-family rentals, but the rapidly-slowing home prices and job growth mean that investors must drive a hard bargain. Expensive rehabs are not a good idea at this point; subdividing and apartments are the best options. Investors can lessen their risk in localities with a high concentration of renters, such as Arlington, Bedford and Euless, and the zip codes 76106, 76116 and 76132 in Fort Worth itself. Other Markets. The table shows that job growth in many of the other Texas markets is weak right now, as are home prices, but few of them are over-priced. The Price/Rent ratio is very favorable in most, so straight single-family rentals are the best option, but—with the prospect of very modest gains in prices over the next years—investors must drive a hard bargain. Markets with a big college presence, College Station, Lubbock, Waco, usually have more economic stability. The border markets, El Paso, Brownsville, McAllen, are more speculative right now because of the uncertain immigration and trade situation. Cautious investors will want to stay away from Odessa, in the midst of a shale oil boom that will almost certainly end in a bust. Although the bulk of new jobs and population are in the big markets, good investment opportunities can be found in almost all Texas markets, either because economic growth is good or because home prices are very favorable for rentals.

Findley State Park 25381 OH-58 Wellington, OH 44090 Once a state forest, 838-acre Findley State Park is heavily wooded with stately pines and various hardwoods. The scenic hiking trails allow nature lovers to view spectacular wildflowers and observe wildlife. The fields, forests and quiet waters offer a peaceful refuge for visitors. Long before the first settlers arrived in this area, the Erie Indians inhabited the area now known as Lorain County. Although the Eries were fierce warriors, they were eventually subdued by a confederation formed between other Iroquois tribes in the early 1600s using firearms obtained from the Dutch. In 1795, the Treaty of Greenville set aside the lands north of the treaty line as a reserve for Indians. Much of the land restricted by the treaty had previously been granted to Connecticut. This claim, known as the Connecticut Western Reserve, ran along Lake Erie from the Pennsylvania border to present-day Erie County and included more than 3.5 million acres. The Connecticut Land Company, after purchasing some of the land, disputed the Indian claims and petitioned the government for the right to establish settlements on Indian lands. In 1800, Connecticut and the Congress agreed to attach the lands in dispute to the Ohio Territory as a county. In 1807, a major settlement was established at the mouth of the Black River which later became the city of Lorain. That same year, the Connecticut Land Company sold 4,000 acres of land of what was to become Wellington Township to four men from Berkshire County, Massachusetts. In the winter of 1818 the four men were joined by William T. Welling of Montgomery County, New York. Following an Indian trail, they cut their way through to the area that became known as Wellington. Wellington today has a rich heritage. Almost seventy-five percent of the downtown district is included on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting the New England influence in the architecture. Many industries flourished during the mid-1800s, most notably brickyards, wagon and carriage shops. Later, it shared the reputation of being one of the greatest cheese producing locations in the Union. Lorain County generated annually the equivalent of one pound of cheese for each man, woman and child in the state. Wellington was also the home of Archibald M. Willard, painter of the classic "Spirit of 76." A copy of the work and many Willard originals hang in the town library. Located two miles south of Wellington is a tract of agricultural land purchased in 1936 and 1937 by Guy B. Findley, Lorain County Common Pleas Judge. Judge Findley donated the land to the state of Ohio to be maintained as a perpetual state forest, utilized for timber production and forest product experiments. Findley Forest was planted by the Division of Forestry with extensive assistance from the Civilian Conservation Corps with nearly half a million trees including many varieties of pine and hardwoods. In 1950, the forest was transferred to the Division of Parks and Recreation to be maintained as a state park. An earthen dam, started in 1954 and completed in 1956, created the lake. The bedrock materials underlying Findley State Park are principally Bedford Shale and Berea Sandstone. In most places in Ohio, the Berea Sandstone is only 10 to 40 feet thick. In South Amherst, north of the park, this sandstone reaches its maximum thickness of more than 200 feet. The sandstone quarries at South Amherst are the largest and deepest in the world. This part of the state is known as Ohio's dairyland. Crops and cows are a common sight. In the midst of this rich agricultural area is the forest oasis found within Findley State Park. This forest is a regrowth secondary forest on abandoned farmland. It contains red maple, white ash, wild black cherry, oaks, white and red pine and beech. The forest floor supports a variety of woodland wildflowers including spring beauties, Dutchman's breeches, hepatica, bloodroot, marsh marigold, trillium and woodland asters. White-tailed deer, red fox, beaver and raccoon are just a few of the animals that make this park their home. A variety of reptiles and amphibians can be found along the lakeshore. One area of the park is set aside as a sanctuary for the Duke's skipper butterfly, an extremely rare insect.

he S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped on Wednesday as energy stocks suffered their worst drop in nearly six months. The energy sector, slumped 2.5 percent for its biggest decline since mid-September. Oil prices tumbled more than 5 percent in the wake of a much stronger-than-expected rise in US inventories."Good news had certainly been out there in terms of production cuts," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York. "Now you see, especially on the US side, inventory builds and shale producers making some good money at these levels so production comes back online."

2.7MW crusher returns to operation in less than a week

Ketton Cement operates a 2.7MW crusher with speed control provided by a three-section resistor, with each section dissipating 87kW of heat.

When this resistor failed one Friday, Cressall was on hand to provide prompt assistance and get the works quickly moving again.

Cressall Resistors supplied three-phase control resistors for cement crusher's 2,700kW main motor.

Ketton Cement operates a 2.7MW crusher with speed control provided by a three-section resistor, with each section dissipating 87kW of heat.

When this resistor failed one Friday, Cressall was on hand to provide prompt assistance and get the works quickly moving again.

Ketton Cement operates cement kilns at Ketton in Rutland, Ribblesdale in Lancashire and Padeswood in North Wales, and produces ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), a cement replacement in ready-mixed and precast concrete at four locations. It also produces a range of bagged cements and aggregates.

“Ketton Cement got in touch to say that the three-section speed control resistor on the main 2.7MW crusher motor had failed and asked what we could do," explained Martin Nicholls, sales director of Cressall Resistors. "The resistor operates at 2.2kV, conducting a 735A current through a resistance 0.16 ohm to dissipate 87kW of heat energy.”

Ketton Cement is the largest industrial plant in England's smallest county, with an annual output of more than one million tonnes of cement.

Originally established on this site in 1928, it is next to the quarries from which cement's raw ingredient of limestone is still taken. 

This is a 24 hour a day, seven day a week operation with its huge inclined rotating kiln the major feature. Today, Ketton is one of the most efficient cement works in Europe. The loyalty of the workforce is evident in the fact that the average length of service is 18 years.

High profile successes

Cement is made by crushing and heating limestone or chalk with small amounts of other natural materials, such as clay or shale, in a rotating kiln to a temperature of 1,450˚C.

This chemically combines the stones into a hard substance called clinker, essentially changing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to calcium oxide (CaO) which then reacts with silica (SiO2) to form calcium silicates. This is ground to a powder with about five per cent gypsum, added to control the setting time of the end-product.

Before being fed into the kiln the limestone is broken up into small stones by a giant rock crusher with a capacity of 1.6 million tonnes a year.

The 258kW three-phase control resistors for the crusher's 2,700kW main motor were supplied in 1985 and finally reached the end of their working life almost 30 years later.

Martin Nicholls continues: “The resistor was originally supplied in 1985 by Cutler Hammer. Luckily we had all the drawings and the right resistor material. We ordered the insulating boards from our supplier, which were delivered on Monday along with the broken resistor, which we stripped, rebuilt and returned to Ketton Cement the next day.”

Danny Osborne, maintenance engineer at Ketton Cement, adds: “We were anxious not to lose production because of the failure. Over the weekend Cressall manufactured 12 replacement Hi-Temp resistor banks to the original drawings and specifications. We stripped out the old resistors and sent them to Cressall's Dereham factory.”

Insulation boards

Cressall's supplier Presspahn, located in Bedford, also worked over the weekend, making the insulation boards which fit around the resistor banks.

These were delivered to Cressall on Monday and by Tuesday afternoon the brand-new replacements were assembled and had been collected and taken back to Ketton for fitting. The crusher was operational before Hanson's buffer stock of crushed limestone had been used up.
