Beer brewing began in the Delaware Valley in the mid-seventeenth century
when early Swedish settlers first brewed beer in the home. Quakers
established the first commercial brew houses in Philadelphia in 1683.
Eastern Pennsylvania's rich farmland provided an ample source of barley
and hops, key ingredients for brewing beer, and the proximity of the
Delaware River allowed Philadelphia brewers to ship beer south to
Wilmington. By the American Revolution, Philadelphia was among the
country's leading brewing centers, and remained so through the
late-nineteenth century.brewing equipment manufacturer
SOUVENIR ALBUM
F.A. Poth Brewing Company
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1890
This souvenir album from the F.A. Poth Brewing Company of Philadelphia contains twenty color plates with views of all parts of the brewery. Shown here, clockwise from top left, are a general view of the brewery complex, an interior view of the brew house, where water, malt, and hops are combined to create wort, and an interior view of the fermenting room, where barrels of wort are left open to the air as yeast converts sugars into alcohol, turning the wort into beer.

Of the Brew House
The following is an eligible construction where brewing is followed as a trade. "The cold liquor [water] pump A, raises the water from the river or well B, which, as well as the wort pump M, is driven by a horse with proper machinery, which likewise grinds the malt used in the brew-house. The grinding house is situated between the pumps, as may be seen by the mill spout P, which conducts the malt from the mill into the mash tun H. The liquor from the river B, is pumped into the cistern or reservoir, where it is ready at all times during the hurry of brewing; and from the cistern it passes through the large pipe D, into the liquor copper, E, where it may be stopped by a cock at the extremity of the pipe. The liquor when warmed for mashing is let into the mash-tun, H, by opening the cock, F, in the bottom of the copper, and runs down the trunk Z, which carries into the raising spout, G, in the mash-tun, H, this spout by a notch in the moveable or false bottom of the mash-tun, conducts the liquor between the moveable and real bottoms, which, by ascending, assists the mashing very much.
The extract or wort is let go, by turning the cock, K, into the underback, L, and is from thence carried by the horse pump, M, into a level with the wort copper, O, and runs from the pump through the pipe,N, into the wort copper.
When cold liquor is required for mashing, as is the case in small beer brewing, it is obtained from the cistern, C, by the pipe, Q, which communicates with it.
Thus these three very laborious parts of the business, viz. pumping the liquor from the river or well; mashing, and pumping up the worts into the copper, may easily be performed by two men; and they are able to mash a very considerable quantity of malt, and attend to the steaming of the casks, liquoring the backs, &c. between the mashes. When all the worts are in the great copper, O, and are boiled sufficiently, they are run off into the first back, T, by turning the cock, R, from the spout, W, conducting the worts from the drainer, S, which detains the hops. This back communicates with the two large backs, Y, which are sufficient to contain all the worts, and they may be laid at a greater or less depth, by using one or both these backs, stopping either of the pipes, X, by putting in one of the plugs, U. The situation of these two backs is higher than the fermenting tuns, and by pipes the worts are conveyed into them below; and if there is conveniency, the tuns, when cleansing, ought to be high enough to fill the casks in the cellar by means of a leathern pipe.

Breweries can vary enormously in size, from the smallest microbrewery to
the largest multinational brewing corporation. The diversity of
processes is likewise diverse, being largely dependent on the type of
beer produced and the degree of automation desired.beer brewing equipment
For example, a larger brewery is more likely to be composed of distinct sections such that each is dedicated to a specific phase of the brewing process.At the other extreme, a microbrewery is more likely to consist of a single room, where the entire brewing process is performed.
Despite the great difference in size, however, much of the brewing process has remained essentially unchanged, as it’s dictated by relatively simple biochemical processes.A microbrewery, or craft brewery, is typically owned independently and much smaller than the corporate breweries that produce most of the beer appearing in bars and retail shelves.
However, this distinction has become blurred in recent years as major brewers have created some very large “craft breweries.”
Brewery Equipment Material
Brewery equipment is made of various materials, the most common brewing kettles being made from copper and stainless steel.
Copper Brewery Equipment
Brewery equipment has traditionally been made of copper, especially the kettles in which the wort is boiled. Copper ore is readily available and easily smelted into pure form.
Furthermore, copper transfers heat quickly and evenly, which is highly desirable for brewing. However, copper reacts with many chemicals, which can give a metallic flavor to the beer. It can also be corroded by many types of cleaning solutions.
Stainless Steel Brewery Equipment
Today’s commercial breweries predominantly use kettles made of stainless steel, although they’re still known as “coppers” regardless of the materials used to make them.Many modern kettles have copper cladding to provide a more traditional appearance, but this cladding is purely cosmetic as it doesn’t come into contact with the wort. Stainless steel reacts with very few chemicals, although chlorine is one of them.
Brewery equipment made of stainless steel shouldn’t impart any flavors to the beer, provided it isn’t cleaned with bleach. Stainless steel is also much stronger than copper, which is a critical consideration since kettles are pressurized when the wort is boiled.

If you wear hair extensions, chances are you’re pretty picky about what
type of hair you wear. You know if you prefer Remy or non-Remy hair,
Indian or Brazilian, synthetic or human. You may also believe you can
simply look at hair extension packaging to find out its origins. But the
truth is, it’s pretty difficult to tell where your hair extensions come
from, and there are plenty of manufacturers who are deliberately
misleading about where they source their hair from. Hair manufacturers
Riqua Hailes, owner of Just Extensions hair extension bar in Los Angeles and The Weave Express in Washington, D.C., knows this firsthand. After noticing inconsistencies in the hair extensions she received from vendors, Hailes decided to dig deeper. She embarked on a journey through China, Cambodia, Malaysia and India and will continue her travels to Brazil and Russia later this year to uncover the long, storied journey hair extensions take before they reach a salon or retail store. Here is her account.
Separating Fact From Fiction In China
"I started my journey in March 2014. My first stop was China, the largest exporter of human hair in the world. China can reproduce almost anything — and hair is no exception. Chinese hair is often considered cheap in the extensions industry because it isn’t donated hair, so in order to be on the same playing field as other exporters, they will market it as Brazilian or Malaysian hair, which can go for twice the money.
"China imports fallen hair, also referred to as non-Remy hair, from India. Fallen hair is dead hair that naturally sheds and is collected from hair salons and hairbrushes. Because the hair’s quality has been jeopardized and matting is likely to occur, non-Remy hair is less desirable in the extensions industry. But China collects this hair, cleans it and mislabels it as being from a higher-quality hair extension source like Brazil, Russia or India.
"If you’re shopping for extensions, and they say they’re shipped from China, it’s probably Chinese hair masquerading as something else. One hair distributor taught me to pay attention to the smell: Fallen hair has a smell of acid and silicone that’s easily recognizable."
Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is dusty, developing and rife with suffering, yet culturally rich and bustling. In this desperately poor country, women sell their bodies, their hair and sometimes their daughters to put food on the table. Even my hotel was a reminder of the desperate circumstances here, with a sign that read, ‘Please do not participate in the sex trade.’ One Cambodian woman told me, ‘I’ll sell my hair before my body to feed my family. My hair grows back.’
"About 45 miles outside the city, I visited a village where women cut hair to be sold as extensions. There were about 80 families with little to no food, clothes or electricity. I saw only one man, and when I asked him to show me his wife, he responded by pointing to a group of women. Women between the ages of 18 and 60 lined up to sell their hair (the women made it very clear they don’t cut the young girls’ hair), receiving 20,000 to 33,000 riel (about $5 to $8) in exchange. Every four to six months, a collector comes to the village to purchase the hair.
"One woman with a short bob cut came up to me said through my translator, ‘I don’t feel pretty with short hair.’ I took off my hat and showed her my short hair. I said through the translator, ‘You’re certainly one of the most beautiful women I’ve met.’

China celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s
Republic of China (also called New China) on 1 October 2019. Despite
twists and turns, China has established one of the largest higher
education systems in the world. For example, Chinese universities and
colleges have accommodated the largest numbers of undergraduate students
worldwide, with more than 30 million students on campuses.Educational Leadership training china
China’s gross enrolment ratio for higher education reached 48% of the 18-year-old population in 2018. This indicates that its higher education system will soon offer near-universal access to higher education according to United States sociologist Martin Trow’s definition.
Also, it produced and trained more than 60,000 doctoral graduates in 2018. This number is even larger than that for US universities.
Further, the status of several Chinese universities has kept moving upwards in the major global university ranking tables since the early part of the 21st century. For example, in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020, Tsinghua and Peking universities and the University of Science and Technology of China are listed among the top 100, with four other Chinese universities in the top 200.
However, little is known of what the most striking characteristics of China’s higher education are or what higher education systems China has formed over the last 70 years.
Compared to the United States, United Kingdom, European countries and Japan or South Korea, the distinctive features of present Chinese higher education can be practically summarised as follows.
First, all higher education institutions are rigidly controlled and regulated by the central government and especially by the Communist Party. This is not only evident in the relationships between the central government, local authorities and higher education institutions but is also true in governance arrangements and management within all higher education institutions.
All presidents and party secretaries in national universities are directly selected and appointed by the Ministry of Education and other ministries at a central level. The institutional leaders of the local public higher education institutions are determined by local authorities. Even in private universities the party organisations are present and party secretaries are appointed or dispatched by the local government.
At an institutional level, dual governance patterns are adopted. According to the Higher Education Law, all higher education institutions, including private ones, have to establish grassroots-based committees of the Chinese Communist Party.
The party committees are expected to exercise unified leadership over university work and support the presidents and carry out their leadership from the political and ideological perspective, while the presidents exert their influence on more academic and administrative matters. Perhaps this is the most important characteristic of the current Chinese higher education system in relation to governance and administration.

It was the second concussion that made the decision an easy one for
Brentwood parent Chris Hulshof. His son, Alex, had suffered his first
concussion playing football as an 11-year-old, but Hulshof had been
willing to give things a second chance, reasoning that the concussion
had been a fluke play that wasn’t likely to occur again.Children football in Shanghai
Two years later, however, Alex took a wallop while playing for Sunset Middle School, suffering a helmet-to-helmet collision that resulted in a more severe concussion. This time, there was dizziness, sickness and a trip to the emergency room for precautionary measures.
“It wasn’t the little one the first one was, if any of them are ever really little,” Hulshoff says. “So, my wife (Valerie) and I decided at that point that ‘No, we’re not going to let him play (tackle football).’
“He keeps begging to play again. But I tell him I have to protect his head more than I’m willing to allow him to play football.”All over Tennessee and across the rest of America, parents are weighing decisions on the benefits of youth tackle football versus the health risks – specifically because of head injuries.
The concussion issue that’s gained so much attention on the NFL level – thanks to lawsuits, brain studies, movies and documentaries – appears to be making an impact on the youth level, as well.
An in-depth article on concussions in sbnation.com earlier this year stated that youth participation in football nationwide has declined 27.7 percent among kids aged 6-14 since 2010.
In addition, “Sports Illustrated’’ reported in March of 2016 that participation in high school football had declined nationwide in six of the previous seven years, and that it was down 2.5 percent overall since 2008-09.
But the trend of steering kids clear of contact football isn’t universal.
Brentwood’s Travis Dunlap, for instance, gave both of his kids the go-ahead to play tackle football this year.
An assistant professor of nursing at Vanderbilt University, Dunlap says he and his wife, Beth, were on the fence about their decision at first. But after making sure that team helmets, equipment and technique training were up to their standards, the couple gave their boys a thumbs-up.
Will, a 14-year-old heading into eighth grade, will be trying out for his school team this season, while Andrew, an 11-year-old going into sixth grade, chose to stick to flag football this year.
“We’re certainly aware of the risks and everything, but I think there’s risk in any sport,” Dunlap points out. “A lot of us parents had discussions about (letting the kids play tackle football). We’d talk about how we played it when we were younger, so we figured, ‘Let them try it.’’

In distant past of our history, civilizations were limited and
restricted to the places they belong to. The limitations existed on
multiple levels. Our ways of learning, earning, working and developing,
each had a centripetal outlook towards our native habitats only. Until
not-so-distant past, an unambiguous sense of feeling prevailed amongst
us that Geography is our Destiny. But pretty sooner, we rightly realised
that humanity is destined to achieve much greater heights and if our
efforts are channelled in right directions, then even Sky is Not the
Limit. Geography can be possessive, it can be decisive but it can never
be restrictive.international schools in china
The initial strike on the shackles of native-limitations surfaced with the advent of globalisation and liberalisation in 20th Century. At first, the establishment of bilateral trade relationships happened across the countries then started the cultural and educational transfusion amongst them. Today, we are living in a highly interdependent world. In a world where isolation is not even an option. In our world, this mutual interdependence is symbiotic in nature. It is for the benefits of humanity at large. Irrespective of what kind of culture, development or resources Mother Nature has blessed us with; we have learnt the art of sharing and caring. Now, it can very rightly be said that though the countries are divided by geography but they are equally united by the spirit of togetherness. Education has been the principle guiding light, proliferating the spirit of togetherness.
Much to the tune of educational proliferation across the geographical boundaries, the need and demand of a Global Educational Framework has grown leaps and bounds since the outset of 21st Century. The concept of International Schools acted as a revolution satisfying these demands. The prolific impact of this revolution is being witnessed in almost every part of our world. China, being a country known for its golden history in terms of education, has also been a part of this revolution. International Schools in China are not only benefitting the country and its native students through the exposure of global education but also, bringing the enriched educational heritage of China within the reach of other parts of our world. To celebrate the valuable contributions of such schools towards this impactful educational revolution, we have come-up with our special edition on “The 10 Best International Schools in China”
