 Gunpowder Manufacture
The principal impurity of niter or saltpeter is chloride of sodium, or common salt, which, in consequence of its tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, would have a very injurious action on gunpowder by weakening its power.
It is easily shown that one volume of such powder would yield 296 volumes of mixed carbonic acid and nitrogen gases, after the ordinary reduction for temperature and pressure, although from the intense heat developed at the moment of explosion the actual dilatation amounts to at least 1500 times the volume of the powder employed.
The charcoal is spread in a trough, and the sulphur and niter being sifted upon it, the whole are incorporated, though imperfectly, by the hands.

One Niter is their second album, and it was a long five year wait between their self-entitled debut and this album.
And by this point, they finally had the benefit of recording for a real label, Vertigo Records (a label, at the time, still pumping out great prog rock albums, as opposed to the largely mainstream heavy metal and new wave albums the label was dealing with in the 1980s and 1990s).
The next song is a suite called "One Niter Medley", which includes a theme from Bach, electronically altered, with several more funky jams in a mid '70s fashion.

In place of what would have been the 28th Annual All-Niter, UTM is sponsoring a series of “Up All Nite Editions” this semester in addition to midnight basketball.
The All-Niter was one night a year when students would go and enjoy fair rides, contests, prize drawings and other games.
The change to multiple “Up All Nite” events was made because of “lack of participation and to better utilize funds,” said Gina McClure, director of Campus Recreation.

 Welcome to The Congo Cookbook - The Congo Cookbook (African recipes) www.congocookbook.com -
One of the best-known of all African recipes, Doro Wat (Doro Watt, Doro Wot, Doro Wet, Doro We't, Dorowat) is a spicy Ethiopian chicken dish made with Berberé (a spice mixture or spice paste) and Niter Kibbeh (or nit'ir qibe, a spicy clarified butter).
Berberé and niter kibbeh, basic ingredients in many Ethiopian recipes, are usually made in large quantities and kept on hand for some time.
But a very good result can be obtained by adding the same spices directly to the Doro Wat, instead of indirectly in the berberé spice mix and niter kibbeh.
