Vincent Adams. Vincent Adams (born 26 January 1950) is a retired Guyanese-American environmental engineer. He was a senior manager at the United States Department of Energy until his retirement in 2016, and subsequently served as head of the Guyana Environmental Protection Agency from 2018 to 2020. Before immigrating to the United States he played first-class cricket for Guyana.

Early life and education
Adams was born on 26 January 1950 in Good Intent, British Guiana.

Adams was one of the first civil engineering graduates from the University of Guyana. After moving to the United States he completed master's degrees in hydrogeology and petroleum and geological engineering, followed by a doctorate in environmental engineering at the University of Tennessee.

Sporting activities
He made his first-class cricket debut for Guyana in 1969 at the age of 19. He played five matches as an opening batsman, with a highest score of 121. His cricket career was cut short by a car accident.

In 2016, Adams was appointed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to a new national advisory group created to advise on the growth and development of cricket in the United States. Following the ICC's expulsion of the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) in 2017, he was involved with the creation of a new body, USA Cricket, which was readmitted to ICC membership. He was appointed to the USA Cricket Committee in August 2020.

Career
Adams joined the United States Department of Energy (DOE) in 1986, working in West Texas as a hydrogeologist with the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. After two years he joined the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program in Tennessee as an environmental engineer. He later had a longstanding involvement with the DOE's Office of Environmental Management, notably serving as director of deactivation and decommissioning for the K-25 plant at Oak Ridge.

In 2007, Adams became director of DOE's Groundwater and Soils Office. He oversaw the billion-dollar Recovery Act program at the Savannah River Site and later had responsibility for the Paducah and Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plants. He retired from the department in December 2016.

In 2018, Adams was appointed head of the Guyana Environmental Protection Agency. In August 2020, while he was leading the review of the field development plan for ExxonMobil's Payara oil field, he was placed on leave effective immediately. In November he was fired from his role.

SeSaM-Biotech GmbH. SeSaM-Biotech GmbH (in short SeSaM-Biotech) is a biotechnology service company founded in 2008 in Bremen and localized in Aachen today.

The company has a main focus on Protein Engineering projects based on the QuESt (Quality Enzyme Solutions) strategy and gene library generation using its patented platform technology Sequence Saturation Mutagenesis.

Company
The SeSaM-Biotech GmbH was founded in 2008 as a spin-off of Jacobs University Bremen by Prof. Ulrich Schwaneberg who had developed and improved the patented key technology Sequence Saturation Mutagenesis (SeSaM) in the preceding years, In 2012, SeSaM-Biotech moved to its new facilities at the Leibniz-Institute for Interactive Materials (DWI) in Aachen. Today, it is a small company in the growing Biotechnology sector providing mainly services to diverse customers from the Biotechnology industry. Starting from SeSaM library generation, SeSaM-Biotech now applies a variety of random and focused mutagenesis methods in combination with developing and applying high-throughput screening assays for the realization of extensive protein engineering projects according to the KnowVolution strategy. Besides, internal research is performed for the further development of the in-house techniques and the expansion of the product range beyond protein engineering service provision.

Sequence Saturation Mutagenesis method
SeSaM has been developed by Prof. Schwaneberg and his group in order to overcome several of the major limitations encountered when working with standard mutagenesis methods based on simple error-prone PCR (epPCR) techniques. By non-specific introduction of universal or degenerate bases at every position in the gene sequence, SeSaM overcomes the polymerase bias favoring transitory substitutions at specific positions but opens the complete gene sequence to a diverse array of amino acid exchanges,. With continuous research by SeSaM-Biotech and the Schwaneberg group, several modifications of the SeSaM method were introduced that especially allowed for the introduction of consecutive mutations and a further shift of the mutational bias towards transversion substitutions, generating a versatile tool for protein engineering and evolution.

Services and Products
SeSaM-Biotech holds the patent for the Sequence Saturation Mutagenesis method for random mutagenesis, but applies also additional techniques for random and focused mutagenesis such as the licensed OmniChange method. These mutagenesis methods are applied to generate gene libraries for customers or are used in comprehensive protein engineering projects including random and knowledge-based diversity generation, assay development and variant screening. Besides, SeSaM-Biotech offers single enzyme services for assay development, computational analysis and in the consulting sector. A line of business for the production and sales of premium reagents for biotechnology application is under development.

Dublin Waste-to-Energy Facility. The Dublin Waste-to-Energy Facility, also known as the Poolbeg Incinerator, is a waste-to-energy plant serving the Greater Dublin Area, located on the Poolbeg peninsula. The plant is capable of producing up to 60 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 80,000 homes, and provide district heating for up to 50,000 homes in the Dublin area. The facility will process up to 600,000 tonnes of waste per year. Poolbeg accepted its first delivery of waste on the 24th of April 2017.

The proposal to build an incinerator at this location provoked controversy since its inception in 1997 with concerns about traffic and emissions, but construction work finally started in 2014.

Incidents
On 8 June 2017, eleven people were admitted to hospital after an ‘uncontrolled release’ of lime inside the flue gas treatment area inside the plant. Covanta, the operator of the plant, was ordered to temporarily cease the incineration process at the facility by the Health and Safety Authority.

Cleveland Rolling Mill. The Cleveland Rolling Mill Company was a rolling steel mill in Cleveland, Ohio. It existed as an independent entity from 1863 to 1899.

Origins 

The company stemmed from developments initiated in 1857, when John and David I. Jones, along with Henry Chisholm, established a rolling mill at Newburgh, incorporated as Chisholm, Jones & Company, to reroll worn rails.
In 1858, Andros B. Stone (brother of Amasa Stone) bought into the firm, which became the Stone, Chisholm & Jones Company, and produced iron rails. The first blast furnace in Cleveland was built by the firm in 1861. In November 1863, an investment from Stone led to the expansion and reorganization of the company, which then became the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company.

In 1868 the company installed a pair of Bessemer converters, and started using them to produce steel.
During the 1870s, various types of wire products were produced at the mill.
In 1881 the company built Central Furnaces plant, near the Cuyahoga River, for the production of pig iron.

Strikes 

In May 1882 the mill was faced with a strike from its skilled workers, mostly of British origin, in response to disregard by the company to union demands. The company recruited Polish and Czech immigrants to replace striking workers, and reopened on 5 June. The company eventually gained the sympathy of the city when the striking workers turned violent on 13 June.

In June 1885 a larger and more violent strike occurred, this time led by Polish and Czech workers in response to wage cuts. The violent tactics used by the strikers made the union unable to sustain support by the English-speaking skilled workers, who eventually returned to work in September. To prevent further riots by the unskilled workers, Mayor George Gardner ordered the company's president (William Chisholm, the oldest son of Henry Chisholm) to revert the wage cuts, which ended the strike, although many of the striking workers were denied their jobs back.

Growth and merger 

The company reached its peak in the late 1890s, at which point it had become a major integrated producer of pig iron, Bessemer steel, and steel products, employing a workforce of over 8,000 people.
In 1899 the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company was absorbed into the American Steel and Wire Company of New Jersey, which was in turn merged into J. P. Morgan's U.S. Steel conglomerate two years later.

EverBlock Systems. EverBlock Systems, LLC. is a modular construction materials company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  It develops, produces and markets oversized building blocks, modular wall systems, and buildable furniture. 

EverBlock is primarily known for its oversized polypropylene building blocks.   The blocks are similar in structure and utility to the toy bricks manufactured by The Lego Group, although there is no official connection between the two. All EverBlocks are modular, meaning "builders start with as many blocks as they need and can later add more fully knowing that everything will connect perfectly".

EverBlock was listed within the Forbes list "Survivors and Thrivers" in 2020, which referenced EverBlocks being used to build temporary hospitals and converting gymnasiums into socially distanced classrooms.

Applications 
EverBlocks can be assembled in various ways, including both children's play and professional, building-related applications. The company provides some templates which would allow the builders to create household furniture such as shelving units, tables, desks, catering stations, and bars.  Some commercial applications have included using the blocks to construct interior building partitions, where larger spaces can be divided into multiple workspaces, cubicles, and entire offices. EverBlocks have also been recommended for dividing up smaller rooms, including studio apartments.

STEM Education

According to the EverBlock website, EverBlock has been used as part of STEM curriculums across the world, including at NASA's Space Camp.

Disaster Relief

EverBlocks have been used as a way to establish disaster relief shelters which can be quickly created and later dis-assembled for reuse in another location. In an interview with Wired Magazine, company founder Arnon Rosan stated "You could drop two pallets of these by helicopter and the next thing you know you have a solid, rigid structure."

Giant Menorah

In 2015, the synagogue Ohev Sholom installed an oversized menorah in advance of Hanukkah. EverBlock built and installed the menorah.

Ownership

EverBlock Systems is owned by Versare Solutions, LLC. Versare Solutions purchased EverBlock Systems in November, 2020. WILsquare Capital had previously acquired Versare in 2019.
