Cuba political inmates told to prepare for release
By WILL WEISSERT (AP)


"
Returning to Madrid on Thursday, Moratinos said his county was willing to accept all 52 ex-prisoners once they have been released, but so far has formally agreed to take the first five. They will not be obligated to stay in his country.

It remained unclear if those freed later would have to leave the country as well.
Lidia Lima, wife of political prisoner Arnaldo Ramos, who is sentenced to 18 years in prison, said she wouldn't except life in exile.

"I'm hopeful, but the problem is that neither my husband nor I want to live outside the country and that has me very upset," she said. "We have always said we wouldn't leave Cuba."

"Pump need to be running below 160 Deg. acording to manufacture. actually it is running at 190 and 200 deg; respectivelly.under this condition the pump live will decrease significantly."

I <3 my job...

An email for TAYO

Tako: I hear that you are the new Alkylation contact for Puget Sound. I am in our Planning group and am checking on the economics' of the alky unit. Our model expert tells me that the model currently has the following relationship for propylene alkylation. Does this relationship seem to make sense to you? I know we looks some hydrocarbon into the acid but am not sure how much. In my memory this seems like it is using to much Isobutane but need not thoughts. Thanks for your input.

The chemical equation for the photosynthesis reaction is:

6 H2O + 6 CO2 + (sunlight) -> C6H12O6 + 6 CO2
