Cullman County has one of the most unique yoga studios in the United States. The activities at the studio combines traditional aspects of physical Yoga with Christian and spiritual elements such as scripture readings, devotional thoughts, and biblical verbiage during sessions.
Started by Debbie Leopard, Cullman's Santosha Yoga came about as a dream fulfilled for this long-time yoga practitioner. Santosha means 'Contentment' in the ancient Sanskrit language.
Founded by Leopard and a partner in July 2014, the original yoga studio was just that: a common yoga studio. After the partnership dissolved and Debbie re-dedicated her life to Christ in August 2014, she transitioned the studio into a Faith-based facility offering a wide range of classes ranging from Kids Yoga to Beginner Yoga to BUTI (Yoga combined with Tribal dance).
Cullman's Santosha Yoga also offers FAITHFLO classes which allows students to Praise Christ through the movements of their bodies.
Debbie has been consistently practicing various forms of yoga for 19 years. She has been teaching the art for 6 years. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) through the Yoga Alliance with 200 hours of accredited training.
Cullman Today recently visited Debbie at her studio and learned about her history and enthusiasm for yoga:
"I love the way my body feels after a good class. Relaxed and restored. I love the energy boost I get. But most of all the peacefulness of it. Non-competitive just letting your body stretch to its limits. And as a teacher to see a student achieve a goal. Well that's the icing on the cake."
That first image is of Bernice. She is a 90 years old student at the yoga center. If she can do this, so can you!

Drax Power Station, near Selby, was built between 1969-1973 and is Britain's largest power station with a 1.8 gigawatt capacity, composed of two 900 MW generating sets. Power is generated from six NEI/Parsons super-heated steam turbines at 2000psi and 576C. Output voltage is 23.5KV, transformed up to 400KV for onward transmission. The station now operates largely on imported biomass from North America, which is carried by rail from the ports of Tyne, Immingham, Liverpool Bulk Terminal and Hull , with up to 20 train-loads per day, each comprising 23 or 24 W H Davis-built automatic discharge hoppers designed especially for biomass pellets.
Each 75ft long vehicle has five hoppers which are operated from electromagnets at the lineside as the train passes through the discharge point at 0.38 miles per hour. We saw a train from Liverpool, headed by a DB Cargo Class 66 and one from Immingham hauled by a GBRF Class 66 during our visit. Three trains can be unloaded simultaneously if required.
The boilers at Drax consume 5 tonnes of biomass every minute and the station requires between 10 and 20000 tonnes of biomass per day depending on output load requirements. Drax can supply 5-7% of the UK's total power requirement at peak load. One half of the station still operates on coal-firing, but this wiil be progressively converted to biomass and then natural-gas firing in the next few years.

This is the base of the big cupola furnace at Griffin Pipe where the air was blown into the base. The cupola furnace is loaded up with raw materials like a carbon source (coke, coal or charcoal), lime, iron ore (incorrect -- these furnaces couldn't reduce iron ore to elemental iron; they were designed to melt scrap metal and pig iron only) and other metals and then run with the updraft. The steel was taken out the bottom. The ring of pipes around the furnace are the tuyeres that blow air into the coke layer to support combustion.
Follow Up: Here's a wikipedia article that outlines the use of cupola furnaces fairly nicely:

This one was a larger specimen about 10 feet in diameter (inside, outside is much larger) unit. They are apparently generally described in terms of their diameter. This one was equipped with a large adjacent stack for cooling and processing the off-gases, unlike the old, smaller development unit at U.S. Pipe.
Ken Schuler and I got a chance to visit a scrap supplier who has the job of demolishing some historic old steel mills: U.S. Pipe and Griffin Pipe. The steel company I work for will be buying the scrap generated by the demo.

Pictured, the base exchange, United Kingdom's RAF Molesworth, early 1960s.
U.S. exchanges in the United Kingdom date back to World War I. Civilian agencies, such as the YMCA, operated the exchanges wherever U.S. forces were located in the UK.
The first exchange in the United Kingdom during World War II opened in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1942 for the first U.S. forces arriving on the continent. Openings of other post exchanges throughout England followed.
RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth were the last World War II-era airfields in the United Kingdom that were still actively in use and controlled by the U.S. Air Force.
On July 4, 1942 from Molesworth, the U.S. Army Air Force launched its first flights over Nazi-occupied territory.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates stores at RAF Molesworth.

La Base Aérea de Torrejón (código IATA: TOJ, código OACI: LETO) es uno de los principales aeropuertos militares españoles cerca de Madrid. Fue usada, conjuntamente con el Ejército de Aire, por la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos (USAF) hasta 1992. Tras haber sido utilizado conjuntamente por el Ejército del Aire de España y AENA, esta última para la aviación ejecutiva, actualmente dichas operaciones han sido trasladadas al Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.
Torrejón Air Base (IATA: TOJ, ICAO: LETO) (Base Aérea de Torrejón de Ardoz) is both a major Spanish Air Force base and the collocated Madrid–Torrejón Airport, a secondary civilian airport for the city and metropolitan area of Madrid.
La base aérienne de Torrejón (code AITA : TOJ • code OACI : LETO) est un aéroport militaire et civil (Aéroport de Madrid-Torrejón) en Espagne situé dans la périphérie de Madrid.
La base aerea di Torrejon era un aeroporto militare situato in Spagna gestito dalla United States Air Force. La base di Torrejon fu chiusa nel 1996 e l'aeroporto venne riconvertito per scopi civili. Attualmente lo scalo è noto come aeroporto di Madrid-Torrejón, stante la vicinanza alla città di Madrid. La base aerea di Torrejon era una delle basi aeree principali in Europa centro-meridionale assieme alle basi aeree di Aviano in Italia e quella di Incirlik in Turchia. Di fatto la base ha cessato di fungere da avamposto per la USAF già a partire dal 21 maggio 1992, quando gli aeromobili di stanza furono trasferiti altrove.

The military port of Toulon is the major naval centre on France's Mediterranean coast, home of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and her battle group. The French Mediterranean Fleet is based in Toulon.
