Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

When patients go to an medical office, the first person they interact with is often the front desk specialist. This person helps patients check in, make payments, and make future appointments. They answer phones, perform a variety of office administration tasks, and ensure the waiting area is clean and welcoming. The front desk specialist helps manage day-to-day office tasks, such as ensuring necessary office and other supplies are in stock. They also help ensure proper records management, and they must follow all systems and protocols for records updates and storage. Individuals in this position may work part time or full time; they typically work in the clinical office environment during regular business hours.Read More...
Due to the specialized knowledge required by working in a clinic, many employers require front desk specialists have secondary school vocational training and certification in a related field. A medical office front desk specialist must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, as they interact daily with patients of the medical practice or clinic. They should also be proficient in basic office software, as they will likely need to enter information on payments, insurance, and other billing and patient records information. Organizational and multitasking skills are also necessary in this role.
Medical Office Front Desk Specialists generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Job Scheduling, Insurance, Billing, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Medical Coding. The majority of those who know Customer Service also know Insurance and Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Medical Office Front Desk Specialists do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $26K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $29K. Medical Office Front Desk Specialists with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $31K. Medical Office Front Desk Specialists who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't higher than those with 10 to 20 years.
For Medical Office Front Desk Specialists, working in the bustling city of Charlotte has its advantages, including an above-average pay rate. Medical Office Front Desk Specialists can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Austin (+8 percent), Las Vegas (+5 percent), Phoenix (+5 percent), and Atlanta (+1 percent). Jacksonville is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 6 percent.

it's a goal in ghana
World Cup Fever is sweeping Ghana this week! Ghana has become the first African country to qualify for the 2010 Football World Cup, joining England and Australia in qualification.
Ghanaian Captain Michael Essien summed up the country's passion for the beautiful game, "The people of Ghana wanted us to win and we did not let them down. What a fantastic feeling to be the first African country to qualify for the first World Cup to be staged in Africa."
special egypt souvenir
Brooke Malley was determined not to spend the next holiday season alone, but little did she know that she'd fall in love with Egypt, in more ways than one…
"London shuts down over Christmas. It's hard to believe, but the greatest city in the world is a ghost town from Christmas Eve until after New Year. The streets are deserted and the bars and restaurants closed. I know this after spending one cold and bleak festive day wandering the usually bustling Notting Hill in search of Christmas lunch and a drink. I ended up with soggy take-away pizza.
their future is in our hands
A massive human rights violation is going largely unnoticed around the world right now; the illegal trade in children and young people for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation (CSEC).
Human trafficking is the second largest crime (Belser, 2005) and the fastest growing criminal industry in the world (UNGIFT, 2008). With an estimated 1.8 million children entering the global sex trade each year, many of these children and young people are believed to be victims of trafficking. Human trafficking exists in every region and country the world over; from the poorest to the richest (UNICEF UK, 2003). Due to the underground dealings of the human trafficking network, the real total is expected to far exceed the 1.8 million figure.
In Australia this month, Child Wise has partnered with The Body Shop to launch the Stop the Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People campaign.
true turkish delight
It was confectioner Haci Bekir who first perfected sade lokum, known to the world as Turkish Delight.

borneo's secret ingredients
Sabah's ultimate taste-bud sensation is the famous hinava tongii. A combination of Spanish mackerel, chilli, ginger and shallots in lime juice, with grated bambangan seed. This indigenous variety of mango is the secret ingredient, and Intrepid Express reader Gay Everitt lifts the lid on more local delights in Borneo…
"The bustling markets of the capital of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, are crammed into acres of waterfront warehouses bursting with exotic foods and artefacts, all competing for space in the dimly-lit, but thankfully cool, interior. Street hawkers from nearby villages pursue you on the fringes and families watch with amusement from the decks of their fishing barges tied to the wharf.
delicious morocco memories
Can you remember the first time you got a taste for travel and tucked in to an unrecognisable plate of food that turned out to be delicious? Intrepid's Tina Gerets wasn't sure how her younger brother would cope, but trying something new was all part of the adventure in Morocco…
"I wondered how travelling with my teenage brother would turn out. I eat almost everything or am at least willing to give it a try, but he's a bit of picky eater. Well, he loved the food! His favourite was tajine, a slow-cook stew that is widely available. Whether it was tajine of lamb or chicken or something else, it didn't matter, when tajine was mentioned his face lit up.
russia boots and all
Babushka Tonya Makarova, former scientific researcher, goes out onto the street which leads to the Kremlin every Saturday and Sunday in order to earn some money. Next to her small, bright camping tent are framed photos of herself surrounded by children and clippings from newspaper articles.
All week Babushka Tonya is busy making small souvenir felt boots, then an artist decorates them and the result is no ordinary Russian memento. With the money she earns, Baba Tonya buys things that children from a nearby orphanage really need: books, fur boots, clothes and more. A pair of her felt boots cost 300 rubbles, but as Tonya says, "your money will be in the children's hands."
an intrepid idea
It's a coming of age like no other. No longer a teenager, in 2009 Intrepid Travel is cracking open the bubbly and celebrating its 20th year. It's been quite a ride, so we sent Intrepid's Eliza Anderson to find out where the idea for one of the world's leading travel companies began…
"For best mates, Darrell Wade and Geoff Manchester, it all started with a six-month trip across Africa in a converted rubbish truck.
Back in 1988 Darrell and Geoff were young professionals, uninspired by the daily grind and yearning to hit the open road. After taking an Encounter Overland trip from Kathmandu to London a few years earlier, Darrell and his brother-in-law had always wanted to organise their own overland trip. After seeing the film The Gods Must be Crazy they decided to make it Africa.
big break in india
We asked Intrepid travellers to join in our anniversary celebrations and re-live their favourite trip moments. Tom Gettings won't forget his India adventure, that was tops for real life experiences…
"Congratulations on 20 years. I wish I had discovered Intrepid earlier. It's odd looking back on it that I have not taken that many Intrepid trips, but they provided the most memories and best travel stories. Your organisation also has a great sense of responsibility. Some of the most memorable stories came from my 2002 Unforgettable India trip.

Cronies Or Capitalists?: The Russian Bourgeoisie and the Bourgeois Revolution from 1850 to 1917
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2009 - History - 281 pages
Why wasn't there a successful bourgeois revolution in Russia? Was it because Russian capitalists were too servile in their relationship with the Tsarist autocracy? Or was it because Russian states (Tsarist, republican and Soviet) were just too strong?
This book is a political history of the Russian capitalist class from 1850 to 1917 that seeks to answer these questions.
The book covers the consistent opposition of the Russian bourgeoisie to the Tsarist autocracy up to and including the revolution of 1905. It then considers its alliance, from 1909, with 'new state' elements - officials, politicians, army officers and technical experts who were convinced of the possibility of reform and renovation through a radically reorganised state, cleansed of its autocratic detritus. Such a reorganisation was expected as a result of the Great War.
While these ideas came to a temporary fruition in the February Revolution of 1917, they also laid the basis for a much more demanding Soviet state in October - and the destruction of the bourgeoisie itself. The book ends with a consideration of the wider implications for the concept of the bourgeois revolution-implications that stretch well beyond Russia-that are revealed by the rise and fall of the Russian bourgeoisie.

Xavier: J. Duncan 25 Pts, 8 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
Charlotte: L. Goldwire 31 Pts, 8 Reb, 3 Stl
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The senior lockdown defender was in foul trouble. The speedy senior point guard was slowed by a sprained ankle.No problem for experienced Xavier. Enter another senior, Josh Duncan, to help the Musketeers (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP survive their third straight close call.Duncan matched a career high with 25 points and hit the clinching 3-pointer with 15.9 seconds left as Xavier beat Charlotte 62-60 on Wednesday night for its seventh straight win.Overcoming Stanley Burrell's foul trouble and a scoreless, seven-turnover night from the hobbled Drew Lavender, Duncan became the latest Musketeer to step up in the clutch.Xavier (21-4, 9-1 Atlantic 10) needed big plays in the final minute to beat Saint Louis and Saint Joseph's last week. They did it again against Charlotte (14-9, 5-4) despite 31 points from the 49ers' Leemire Goldwire."It's not anything magical. We not only have seniors but we have guys who in their senior year who have been through the wars," coach Sean Miller said. "They have been through these games and lost. They've been in the [NCAA] tournament. ... They're the heart and soul of what we do."With the shot clock winding down, Duncan drilled a 3 from the top of the key to put the Musketeers ahead 62-58. After Goldwire's hoop with .7 seconds left, Goldwire stole the inbounds pass near midcourt, but his desperation shot didn't hit iron."It was a pretty even basketball game," Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz said. "They just rebounded it better and made a few more plays down the stretch."Xavier kept its two-game lead in the conference despite 23 turnovers, and rare subpar games from Burrell and Lavender.Burrell had four fouls a minute into the second half and was limited to 22 minutes.Lavender turned his left ankle late in the first half. While he continued to play, he was 0-for-5 from the field."I can't really say that he played bad because a lot of guys wouldn't have continued to play," Miller said. "But he didn't have that extra gear that he does have."A physical game full of fouls, contested shots and turnovers, the Musketeers turned to a zone defense to snap a tie midway through the second half. Charlotte missed nine straight shots in Xavier's 7-0 run that made it 57-50 with 5:20 left.Then the Musketeers' biggest problem of the night -- turnovers -- let Charlotte back in it. Xavier threw it away three times and had a shot blocked on four straight possessions.Charles Dewhurst's two free throws with 2:10 left tied it at 58.The 49ers thought they had taken the lead on Goldwire's driving layup with 1:30 left. Two officials blew their whistles, and after a two-second delay where both officials stared at each other, an offensive foul was called."I was confused and was very hopeful it would go our way," Miller said. "It did go our way and clearly that was a big call. It was a game full of tough calls."C.J. Anderson then made one of two free throws with 1:02 left to put Xavier ahead.After Charlotte's Phil Jones missed a shot in the lane, Duncan drilled his fifth 3 in as many attempts.Duncan finished 7-of-7 from the field and added eight rebounds. Derrick Brown added 11 points."I knew with Stanley in foul trouble I had to do more," Duncan said.Charlotte, which won at Clemson last month, nearly pulled off its second win against a ranked team behind Goldwire's one-man show.Goldwire was 7-of-15 from 3-point range and added eight rebounds in his conference-leading fifth game of 30 or more points. The rest of the team shot a combined 9-for-38 as Charlotte struggled against Xavier's zone."It made it tough for us to get the ball inside," Goldwire said.Goldwire, who was coming off a 39-point performance in a win over St. Bonaventure on Saturday, matched up against Burrell, one of the league's top defenders.But Burrell had three fouls 10 minutes into the game, and Goldwire took advantage by hitting four 3s with Burrell on the bench."It's frustrating," Burrell said. "I did so much homework on [Goldwire]."Burrell picked up his fourth foul when he bumped Goldwire on a 3-point attempt with 18:57 left. Goldwire hit all three free throws to put Charlotte ahead 37-34."The point I make is, when North Carolina plays at Virginia and they win by two, it's like `That's life in the ACC," Miller said. "Well in our conference this season, we have great depth and we have some real quality teams. Charlotte is one of them."

Job Watch: finding survival tactics

|Monday, July 27, 2009
For the second month in a row, we are scrambling to revise a story about a great local business that has been harder hit than expected by the continuing recession.
Last month it was Pendleton Woolen Mills, a 100-year old Oregon icon that surprised us by announcing that 45 employees would be laid off as we were preparing to put our August issue to bed. This month it's a local bank to be named later that has been dealing with hard-nosed FDIC regulators scouring through every record, email and report they could unearth. My conversations with the CEO went from fascinating to ominous over the course of the past several weeks, and we agreed that running a story before the matter is clarified with a formal FDIC report would be unwise for the magazine as well as the bank.

Yesterday we woke up really early to catch the train to our next family member. Luckily the train station was just up the road so it meant that we were able to leave 15 minutes before it arrived. The train we caught was a scenic train which took us all through the mountains and as high as 2,500 meters above sea level. The views were so incredible!

The scenery so far in Austria has been nice, but not spectacular (here I go, comparing it to Switzerland again!) But my next town more than makes up for it. Auberbraz is halfway up up grassy hillside, and above it is not one, but two magnificent waterfalls, tumbling over the rocky precipice.
Time to do a little side trip. It woudn't be right to just snap a picture and move on... I'm going to climb up to the base of one of those waterfall.

NRF: Retail Imports Gain As Holidays Approach
Monday September 9th, 2013 - 3:47PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Global Port Tracker, an ongoing survey sponsored by the National Retail Federation and produced by market research firm Hackett Associates Import, estimates that cargo container volume at major retail container ports will grow 5.1% in September over the same month last year. The estimate suggests that retailers are stocking up more optimistically this year than last as they head into the holiday season.
"Retailers are making up for the slow imports seen earlier in the year," NRF vp/supply chain and customs policy Jonathan Gold said. "It's too early to predict holiday sales, but merchants are clearly stocking up."
U.S. ports that Global Port Tracker follows handled 1.43 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units in July, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available, a 5.4% increase over June and up 1.1% from July 2012. The summer gain follows year-over-year declines in three of the four previous months.
The Global Port Tracker estimate came in at 1.48 million TEU, up 4.1% from the month last year. The available data suggests that October will see 1.46 million TEU move, up 9% year over year; November, 1.31 million TEU, up 2.2% and December, 1.3 million TEU, up 0.7%. The Global Port Tracker estimate for January 2014 is 1.33 million TEU, up 1.9% from January of this year.
The total Global Port Tracker forecast for 2012 is for 16.2 million TEU moved, up 2.5% from 2012's 15.8 million TEU.
"The U.S. economy is on the road to sustained growth," Hackett Associates founder Ben Hackett said in comments on the latest Global Port Tracker estimates. "Second-quarter GDP was well above expectations and surprised most forecasters, the unemployment picture is improving, and we believe consumer confidence will translate into increased sales during the fourth quarter."

Wondering what everyones experience is with having the older sibling at a homebirth. DD will be a little over 3. So what are your suggestions on finding someone to watch a LO? (My mom is an option, but I dont think I want her at my birth)
I was thinking of contacting a midwifery school in the area to see if a student would like to help. Ideally, a volunteer would be great, but realistically, if I dont find any volunteers, how much would you pay someone to watch a child during a birth?
I acted as a sibiling doula recently. I was paid $300, granted that was in my comfort zone of payment. Not sure what others might charg ein your area.
Obviously, I would start with a friend/co-worker/church member that I trust and that I don't think would drive me crazy to be at my birth. I feel you on the mom thing. I don't really want my mom here either. I think this time, I will have my little sister here, since I should have the baby while she's on break from school, and possibly my step mom and def my MIL. My cousin lives in FL and will be here for Christmas and if she is still here when I have the babe she is going to do labor photos.
I'm trying to figure this out myself. My only two options are really my MIL and my good friend as they are the only people that live close enough that my daughter is comfotable with and that I would feel comfortable being there.
We're sending the kids to a friends house. They are 4 1/2 and 18 Months. Although I think it would be an awesome experience for them to be there for the birth, I can't handle the distraction and the extra person/people in my house to help with them. I considered it for my entire pregnancy and now realize that is my preference. I love my kids, but I need them to go away so I can concentrate and relax and the focus is all on me, not getting a sippy cup, or wiping a butt or making lunch or dinner, or breaking up a squabble or putting on Spongebob....
This pregnancy has been very very difficult on me, and being pregnant while being the SAHM of 2 small children has been SO difficult. We don't have parents that can pitch in or aunts or uncles so it's been all on me and then DH helps when he isn't at work. I NEED a break and a SILENT BIRTH!
We have a few people in mind to send the kids to, just in case. The main ones have 4 kids of their own, and if any of them are sick that will be a no go cuz I can't have my kids returning to me and the new baby with germs and sickies. Then we have a couple who are like surrogate grandparents and they have a Teen Daughter who helps us out sometimes, but of course they work so they might not be able to help. Then we have a couple our age with no children, but she is still recovering from a surgery a few weeks ago and not 100%. I was hoping whoever took the kids could keep them at LEAST 2 days, (Same amount of recovery you usually get in the hospital...) But I just don't know. I feel like cuz I am having a homebirth, the helpers will think that I am "Home now and all better"...I NEED TO RECOVER. I NEEEEEED MY BREAK! I NEED TO ADJUST!!!
I hear all you ladies!! On the one hand i've heard kids do great at births, on the other, maybe i just want privacy?? i'll ask my MW on my next appointment. i've been bringing DD with me so she gets a sense of her personality n such. I think i may keep DD around if she's playing in her room or downstairs or even outside.
Good news tho (in case anyone wanted to know) I thought of a friend and her hubby who said they'd love watching/babysitting during the birth (of course, her hubby is only allowed in our "birthing room" when i'm decent) so i'm hoping this will be a go!

Miscanthus sinensis Rigoletto
plantgnome(6b//7)May 27, 2012
Planted this beauty in August of 2010- already is getting huge. I have tall Solidago behind it-hopefully rigoletto doesn't overpower the Solidago.
Yes fortunately it does keep its variegation just as you see in the photo all summer. Gets about 3 hours of am sun and a few hours late afternoon. the only place on my property that gets full sun all day is in the front. This grass is planted in my back yard.
Usually by July the Solidago is 7 feet tall so I am hoping it creates a nice look. As we all know solidago spreads like wildfire, So I'll probably thin it out as the grass spreads. About 2 feet behind the solidago is an 8 foot (in late summer) Lord Baltimore Hibiscus. All make for an eyecatching sight.

DS9 Siege, a lesson in frustration.
Let me just say that I once loved the DS9 siege mission (except for the end). I've played with big and small groups and it was always a fun challenge, that is until recently.
I don't know if something has changed, but I seem to recall that if you were on the upper level and the Cardies were on the lower level, you could use the balcony for cover. Now, they seem to have acquired amazing leaping powers, enabling scores of them to meet you on the upper promenade, negating the reason for two levels. Also while on the ground floor, they can leap away to the top to avoid getting shot. It's like playing with a room full of mobs using cheat codes.
I quit out of frustration for the first time today, not wanting to bother fighting wave after wave of holo-cardies from the upper and lower levels all at once. Terrain and cover should be useful; here, it is not.
Oh, and the time before, the force fields were bugged, locked at 4/8 disabled even though they were all down.
And now my VAs can't do the quest either.

Loved this place! Great staff, great location.Posted Aug 2, 2013 on Hotels.com
Quaint and charming bed and breakfast-type hotel right across the street from the lake! The staff is so wonderful, the rooms so adorable. Loved the skylight above my bed, the church chimes just a few blocks away. Right in the heart of town. I'd stay there again in a minute. Everything I hoped for.

small room with wonderful lake sightPosted Jul 30, 2013 on Hotels.com
the rooms was very small, without air conditioned (with outside temperature of 32°C we missed it), and a very small bathroom (no space for the sink, which was located near the beds!). the room was on the first floor right above the main street, and although the village is quite, the traffic (motorbikes) woke us up at 7. nice small terrace with lake view. breakfast at the restaurant in a nice position near the lake. we also had dinner there, not bad, but very expensive and far from Italian standard. fast check in and check out operations. the price of the room maybe is aligned to Swiss prices, but is expensive considering the room we had

Used the hotel for a single night stay for business. Free parking outside is a major bonus and the restaurant serves food until late (10pm) for weary travellers. Shown to the reception by polite, English speaking staff. We had a top floor room, with a balcony over-looking the lake which was simply beautiful. The overall surroundings were very peaceful and nicely off the beaten track. I would certainly recommend this hotel, and in fact will be adding it to our usual Swiss Holiday Itinerary in the future!

PC gaming and the mainstream - PC gaming and the mainstream - Page 3Has PC gaming failed to keep up with the mainstream? We take a look at where the PC is and where it may need to go.
The future of PC gaming
The PC is a great gaming platform for many reasons, and its flexibility is perhaps the greatest of all. Naturally, a lot of the PC gaming faithful, whether it be the gamers or developers, may tend to resist any significant change in PC gaming that moulds the experience to be more like that of a console, but if the PC is really as great as some including myself think it is, it shouldn't have any problems adapting to the evolving standards of mainstream gaming set by the
console world while still catering for the enthusiast crowd, it's just with so many stakeholders involved with the PC market, so far no one entity has stepped forward and done what is necessary. Microsoft are the obvious choice to take a shot at attempting some real widespread influencing action, but all involved should play their part - stuff like Nvidia going out of their way to bring
a popular Xbox 360 game in Lost Planet across to the PC is a good example of this, even if the idea of a game being exclusive to a certain 3D chip maker does seem somewhat scary should it ever get to that.
The reality is, the console model for marketing and maintaining a gaming platform is working for developers and gamers alike, while the PC's current muddled model lags behind, only really excelling as much as consoles in a select few game genres. It is likely the PC would remain in tact as we know it today for quite a while without any significant change in philosophy, but I believe the PC can do a better job of expanding its borders without limiting those who already live in them - it has the
technology and capabilities to bump heads with any console, it just needs the audience to reach that next level. And who knows, if something isn't done about making the PC a more attractive platform, maybe it won't remain as it is for as long as we'd think, as the console market is not going to relax with its pursuit in becoming more like PC's - after all, browsing the Internet and using keyboards on consoles is on the horizon. What's next, World of Warcraft 360? It's only a matter of time.
2007 is an exciting year for PC gaming with the usual assortment of new hardware, a new Direct X to explore and an unusual amount of anticipated games already out or on the horizon, but for the long term health of the platform it only makes sense if measures can be taken to attract more people, which in turn will attract more developers and more attention from the mainstream - this is a concept that has been almost vehemently ignored by the decision makers in the PC gaming world for too long. I'm a PC gamer
at heart and I enjoy the unique features gaming on such a versatile platform can bring, but it is getting to the point now where I struggle to convince people I know that buying the latest videocard is even an option compared to the latest console. I love quirky obscure adventure titles and low budget WWII RTS's as much as the next PC gamer, but I think this platform can be more than just a haven for niche genres and 2nd class ports with only the occasional major PC only blockbuster release - whether the industry
itself agrees and does what is necessary to make it happen is yet to be seen. At the very least, it's going to be an interesting next few years for PC gaming beyond just the usual hardware and game releases.

A method of preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhves is presented. A treating solution comprising a dilute concentration of a mineral acid such as HCl in a carrier comprising water and either alcohol or ketones is prepared. The treating solution is applied to the elastomer surface with the surface being hydrolyzed in a mild manner thereby providing an improved adherable surface for covalent bonding by epoxy adhesives. A surfactant can be added to the treating solution for cleaning the surface to enhance the surface treatment.
1. A treating solution for treating nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesives consisting essentially of:
a carrier portion consisting essentially of water and one of alcohol and ketones in a ratio of between 3:1 to 10:1 respectively by weight, and
a mineral acid of less than 1.0 N concentration present in the carrier portion.
2. A method for bonding a nitrile elastomer surface to an external surface with an epoxy adhesive comprising:
providing a treating solution comprising a concentration of less than 1.0 N of a mineral acid in a carrier comprising water and one of alcohol and ketones,
treating the elastomer surface with the treating solution,
drying the treated surface, and
applying an epoxy adhesive to the surface.
This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 147,815, filed May 8, 1980, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,355,078.
The present invention relates to a process for preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesives in an improved manner, and more particularly, relates to a process for treating the nitrile elastomer surfaces with a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid in a liquid vehicle for hydrolyzing the surface of the elastomer in a much milder manner than possible heretofor for providing a superior, less brittle, bond to surface.
Articles fabricated from nitrile elastomers are not usually receptive to epoxy adhesives for lamination of the elastomer or adhesion to other materials. Frequently, the method of fabrication provides a smooth surface which makes it even more difficult to promote adhesion. In the past, nitrile elastomers, for example, copolymers of acrylonitrile butadiene, or isoprene, have usually been treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to provide the surface of the elastomer with a roughness and surface energy conducive to adhesion by epoxy adhesives. However, when this is done, the surface becomes brittle and the adhesive bond that is formed is prone to hydrolysis.
The treatable surface is prepared by immersing or wetting the surface with a liquid solution which includes an acidic medium and thereafter can include removing the solution from the surface by washing with a suitable solvent. The surface is then dried and is ready to receive the epoxy adhesives.
The treating solution has three components; namely, the acidic agent, the liquid vehicle or carrier, and a wetting agent. Other components which can be employed as assistants to the treating solution include a surfactant to aid in cleansing the surface to be treated and additionally serve as a wetting agent.
The treating solution is a compound capable of rapidly hydrolyzing the surface of the elastomer at ordinary temperatures and pressures and often includes an acidic agent comprising strong acids such as mineral acids. It is particularly desirable that the acid used quickly treat the surface in a uniform manner so that the surface can be tenaciously adhered to by the epoxy adhesive.
The liquid vehicle serves as a solvent for the acidic agent and is the largest component of the treating solution and along with the organic solvent serves to wet the surface of the elastomer article being treated. A further feature of the liquid vehicle is that it must be easily evaporated so that it may be readily removed from the treated surface. Thus, the important properties of the liquid vehicle are that it should be a solvent for the acidic agent, it should be instrumental in wetting the surface of the article to be treated, and it should have an atmospheric boiling point considerably lower than temperatures harmful to the surface material.
A method of preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesive is presented. A treating solution comprising a dilute concentration of a mineral acid such as a concentration of less than 0.01 N HCl in a liquid carrier comprising water and either alcohol or ketones is applied to the elastomer surface for hydrolyzing the surface in a very mild manner to prevent brittleness of the bonding joint. The water and alcohol or ketones are present in a ratio from between three to one to ten to one respectively by weight. The treating solution is removed from the treated surface and the treated surface is then conducive to adhesion to epoxy adhesives.
With reference to the background of invention hereinabove, accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesives.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesives by treating the surfaces with a solution comprising a low concentration of a mineral acid for providing a less brittle bond.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for bonding nitrile elastomer surfaces by epoxy adhesives in a manner which only mildly alters the character of the elastomer surface.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds and the features of novelty characterizing the invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification.
Although the scientific literature indicates that nitrile hydrolysis requires drastic conditions, e.g., treatment for a long time at elevated temperature in the presence of a strong concentration of acid or base, it has been found that exposure of a nitrile elastomer surface to very dilute mineral acids such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, or phosphoric acid at ambient temperature is sufficient to alter the surface so that durable bonds with epoxy adhesives can be achieved. For example, in such treatment, a 0.01 N HCl in a solution comprising water and alcohol, wherein the ratio of water to alcohol respectively by weight can be between 3:1 to 10:1, can be used. For such a treating solution, ethanol, isopropanol, and n-propanol are examples of usable alcohols. Additionally, ketones are also usable in the same proportions to water as the alcohol. Examples of ketones which are usable are acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Typically the nitrile elastomer surface can be treated from between two minutes to fifteen minutes with this dilute solution of HCl in order to hydrolyze the surface of the material. The material can be exposed for a length of time greater than fifteen minutes without experiencing detrimental effects. Concentrations of HCl higher than 0.01 N (0.0365%) can be used, however, if the solution concentration approaches 10%, undesirable effects have been encountered although the hydrolysis is still obtained. Typically, concentrations of less than 1.0 N are desirable.
The organic solvent, e.g., alcohol or ketone, acts as a cleansing agent to permit the acid to get to the locus of the reaction and in addition to the water, also acts as a wetting agent.
Surfactants can be added to the solution to aid in cleansing the surface and additionally serve as a wetting agent. A 1.5 to 2.5 percent by weight of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate has been found to work very well, however, other suitable surfactants can be used.
Once the surface has been treated for the required period of time, the surface can be air dried at 25� C. or placed in an oven to dry for a shorter period of time at a temperature which will not injure the elastomer material. However, if a surfactant is used, it is necessary to rinse the treated elastomer for a sufficiently long time in water to make sure that the surfactant is completely removed as surfactant presence on the surface will prevent good adhesion. Additionally, in order to promote good adhesion, it is desirable that the nitrile rubber compounds contain no mold release compounds and if such mold release compounds are present, the mold release compounds must be completely removed before treatment of the surface is accomplished.
When the surface of the elastomer is so treated in the non-drastic way disclosed, superior covalent bonds with the epoxy adhesive such as superior bis phenol-A epoxy systems cured with typical aliphatic amine or polyamide curatives are achieved. The superiority of the resulting bonds is shown in the table below showing the results of a peel test.
______________________________________Adhesion to Nitrile Rubber180� Peel Tests (lbs/in) 264 hrs., 280 hrs., Ambient 60� C., 55� C.,Treatment At: Temperature 3% NaCl 3% NaCl______________________________________30 sec.

In the peel test, flat samples of nitrile rubber were treated by solutions of various acids and adhered together by epoxy adhesive. Hydrolyzing acids of sulfuric, phosphoric and hydrochloric at high concentrations were used to treat the surfaces of the nitrile rubber. The samples, having various treated surfaces, were then glued to others of a like treatment with the epoxy adhesive and after curing, were subjected to sodium chloride solutions at the specified temperatures for the specified hours as tabulated above. After the specified time, the samples were removed and the two adhered samples were pulled apart in a peel testing machine at 180� in order to determine the integrity of the bond. As shown above, the samples treated with the 0.01 N (0.0365%) low concentration of HCl withstood 125 pounds per inch peeling force before separation.
Thus, there is presented a method of preparing nitrile elastomer surfaces for bonding by epoxy adhesives requiring less drastic hydrolysis conditions than required heretofor. A treating solution comprising a dilute concentration of a mineral acid such as HCl in a liquid carrier or vehicle comprising water and either alcohol or ketones is presented. The treating solution is applied to the elastomer surface with the surface being hydrolyzed in a manner providing an improved adherable surface for covalent bonding by epoxy adhesives. A surfactant can be added to the treating solution for cleansing the surface to improve the surface treatment.
While there has been illustrated and described what is at present considered to be a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be appreciated that numerous changes and modifications are likely to occur to those skilled in the art and it is intended in the appended claims to cover all those changes and modifications which fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Well, Jeff, my copy of this book came in the mail and its description of Euphorbia sounds an awful lot like your plant...lobed peltate leaves,red...lacks photos of commonly grown plants, and all photos are of plants in habitat, but a couple of photos, look suspiciously related to your photo.
I'm whiffing on your post like it's a Verlander fastball. What plant is it that you think I have that's Euphorbia-based? I don't have any TTBOMK, except for a perennial one that's now dormant and lying in wait for next spring, where we'll have some nice shrubberies again.
It was the Euphorbia trichaclenia. It was showing part of the root that it said was normally underground...which was kind of a big hunking ball. I couldn't see yours, but I don't think your pot was big enough to hold that kind of root.
There was an interesting photo of a Jatropha multifida, a relative of Euphorbia, that had that Japanese maple look that made me think of your plant more closely. But your plant had a label of Euphorbia so that's out.
Photos are like 95% of plants in habitate and I can't say that I recognized more than 5 of them! That's a newbie for you. Knowing the habitate helps me in knowing how to care for these things I seem to be killing off.

With most opinion and exit polls predicting a rout for it in four states, Congress has sought to shift the discourse from Assembly polls to Lok Sabha elections citing past trends to buttress the point that provincial polls do not have a bearing on general elections.
"BJP should be cautious in celebrations, even if opinion and exit (O&E) polls are (r) true. We won all these 4 states in 1998, 1999. LS results were an eye opener for us," AICC general secretary in-charge for Delhi Shakeel Ahmed said on Twitter.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA had come to power in 1999 even as Congress had won Assembly polls in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh prior to it.
Exit polls have predicted rout for Congress in the assembly polls to Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh when counting of votes takes place on Sunday.
Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh has also been maintaining that the results of assembly elections do not have any bearing on Lok Sabha polls and that "it does not take time for the situaton to change"
Speaking at a media conclave on Thursday, he also cited the case of his own state Madhya Pradesh, where Congress had lost in the 1998 parliamentary polls but won the assembly elections.
Taking the argument further, Ahmed has tweeted that this had happened not only in 1998 and 1999. "...In 2003 also, the BJP won MP, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan but lost Lok Sabha elections of 2004."
At another media summit, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday had asserted that the party would approach the 2014 Lok Sabha polls with self-confidence, irrespective of the results of the just-concluded elections in five states.
"Congress party is going to the elections with the spirit of self-confidence and that should not be mistaken whatever may be the outcome of the provinical elections," Singh had said.

I don't want to put bad chemicals on my kids so we use this. I think it works, and the smell is not bad, it smells natural, not of chemicals.
Having fun and less bugging

t works for my child. Bugs don't seem to bother him after I put the All Terrain, kids herbal Armor insect repellent on him in the evening before going outside to play. However, if I missed a spot, he still got bitten sometimes.Apply it well. We are happy to find this product that we don't need to worry about putting harmful chemicals on our child.
