The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

Ringo returns to the Takakuras' home to make lunch for another encounter with Tabuki. Kanba convinces her to take Shouma along, thinking that he can swipe her diary while she's distracted and see if it is the Penguin Drum they are looking for. Ringo prepares to go birdwatching with Tabuki, while daydreaming about a fantasy world where she is a princess waiting for Tabuki to sweep her off her feet.
However, first she gets sprayed by a skunk with a weird pattern on its back. Then she discovers that Tabuki took his girlfriend Yuri along, while he thinks that Shouma is her boyfriend. Her attempts to get Tabuki to notice her keep backfiring.
Meanwhile, Kanba waits at a diner after receiving a mysterious text message, only to discover that the sender was one of his ex-girlfriends. Apparently, his exes decided to form a group dedicated to destroying him.
Back at the park, Ringo tries one more attempt to get Tabuki's attention, when the skunk sprays her again and sends her to the bottom of a lake by accident. She later wakes up and sees Tabuki's face, even though it later turns out that Shouma saved her.
Elsewhere, a girl in red heels is shoved down a subway escalator and is injured, an event that happened to have been written in Ringo's diary.

'Pick yourself' and taking responsibilitySeth Godin's Blog on marketing, tribes and respect28 Mar 2015 | 2:15 amPerhaps you've decided that the idea of Pick Yourself is sort of a new-age mantra, a promise that everyone is entitled to what they want, right now. What a shortcut it seems to be. A false promise, holding out that illusion that we can get what we want if we just raise our hand. Pick yourself, you win... It's precisely the opposite. If you want to be responsible for making music, make music. If you want to be responsible for writing, speaking, making change happen, go do that.

Hypergrowth27 Mar 2015 | 2:53 amFast growth comes from overwhelming the smallest possible audience with a product or service that so delights that they insist that their friends and colleagues use it.

Often, we get sidetracked when we forget about "smallest possible."

Active listening26 Mar 2015 | 2:00 amThe kind of listening we're trained to do in school and at work is passive listening. Sit still. Get through it.

People are talking, and they'd like the illusion of listening to accompany that. Don't interrupt. Passive listening is letting the other person talk. Active listening, on the other hand, requires that you interrupt when you need a clarification, and it requires that you ask a truly difficult question when the speaker is finished. If it's worth…
What is customer service for?25 Mar 2015 | 2:04 amCustomer service is difficult, expensive and unpredictable. But it's a mistake to assume that any particular example is automatically either good or bad. A company might spend almost nothing on customer service but still succeed in reaching its goals. Customer service succeeds when it accomplishes what the organization sets out to accomplish. Google doesn't have a phone number, doesn't want to engage with most users. McDonald's doesn't give you a linen napkin. Fedex used to answer the phone on one ring, now it takes 81 seconds for them to answer a call. None of these things are necessarily…

Doing more than the customary amount of customer service is expensive, time-consuming and hard to sustain. Raising money for short-term urgent projects is easier than finding support for the long, difficult work of changing the culture and the infrastructure. Finding a new path up the mountain is far more difficult than hiring a sherpa and following the tried and true path. Of course it is. That's precisely why it's scarce and valuable.

The Art of Leading23 Mar 2015 | 6:00 amSome aspiring entrepreneurs are already working for a big company. Like external entrepreneurs, they dream of creating innovative products.

The purpose of this minichapter is to explain how to do all this when you're employed by a large business.

The Art of Keeping Things Simple18 Mar 2015 | 6:46 amEntrepreneurs face hundreds of decisions when they start a company, and there's often a temptation to optimize each one of them—sometimes by breaking new ground. However, it's best to focus one's energy and attention on milestone issues. My experience and expertise is with US companies, but these are generally accepted startup practices: Corporate structure. Every country has different commercial entities, such as corporations, partnerships, limited-liability corporations, and cooperatives. You want a corporate structure with three characteristics: one that is familiar, if not…
MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors
Hands-On With the Apple Watch: A Developer's Experience at Apple's WatchKit Labs27 Mar 2015 | 1:38 pmEarlier this month, Apple began inviting a select number of developers to an Apple Watch development lab in Sunnyvale, California, located near the company's main Cupertino campus. Developers were invited to reserve a testing appointment to test their Apple Watch apps on actual Apple Watch devices to get ready for the device's April 24 launch. One of the developers who had a chance to visit Apple's WatchKit lab and get hands-on time with the Apple Watch shared his testing experience with MacRumors and gave us some of his thoughts on the device after spending all day using it. Apple maintained…
Apple Hasn't Approached NBC Over Content Deal for Upcoming Streaming TV Service27 Mar 2015 | 12:53 pmOver the past couple of weeks, rumors have leaked pointing towards an Apple-branded streaming television service that could include 25 channels for $30 to $40 per month with partners like CBS, ABC, and Fox. NBC and parent company Comcast are not part of the negotiations, and according to a new report from Re/code, that's because Apple has not approached Comcast about a partnership. Earlier rumors about the streaming television service suggested NBC's absence from the upcoming package was due to a falling out between Apple and Comcast, but on Thursday, Comcast said that wasn't true in…
Apple CEO Tim Cook Speaks Out Against Indiana's 'Religious Freedom' Law27 Mar 2015 | 11:35 amApple CEO Tim Cook today sent out a series of Tweets condemning Indiana Governor Mike Pence's decision to sign a controversial "religious freedom" bill into law, saying Apple is "deeply disappointed" in the move and "open for everyone." Apple is open for everyone. We are deeply disappointed in Indiana's new law and calling on Arkansas Gov. to veto the similar #HB1228.— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) March 27, 2015 The religious freedom legislation that was approved by Pence on Thursday could let businesses turn away gay and lesbian customers by citing "religious freedom." The approval of the…

'Citymapper' and 'Transit App' Offer In-Depth Looks at Transit Experiences on Apple Watch27 Mar 2015 | 8:33 amAs a few popular iPhone apps begin rolling out updates for their built-in Apple Watch apps ahead of the April 24 launch, a pair of transit-focused services have posted on Medium to share detailed looks into exactly what kind of experience users can expect from Citymapper and Transit App on the Apple Watch next month. Sifting through the data gathered from its iPhone app, Citymapper learned that its users frequently turned their phone on and off throughout one trip, unlocking to reorient themselves and quickly locking the device again to save battery. That's where its upcoming Apple Watch app…
Content Will Never Be King26 Mar 2015 | 7:43 amYesterday, I had the pleasure to sit down with my friends Darren Rowse and Brian Clark. The last time the three of us sat quietly was in 2008 or 2009 when we launched the Third Tribe group (ah, memories). I joked that I wanted to bring that back and we could call it Sixth Tribe. You know, Third Tribe 2.0. Alas. Content Will Never Be King The conversation was brief, fun, and sprinkled with some melancholy about the fact that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Darren is thriving with his Problogger events and his Digital Photography School. Brian is running Copyblogger Media,…
Content Marketing as a Food Truck: Rethinking Content Marketing In A World of Splintered Attention25 Mar 2015 | 6:05 amWith well over a billion users, Facebook must easily rank as most people's "where I see interesting stories and click" tool of choice. Sure, us nerds might point to Feedly or Flipboard, but that's not "most people." That's the enlightened. Some of us get our favorite sites to our inbox. But that's more rare than not. What seems most true, however, is that hardly anyone stops by someone's actual blog any more (or say "site" in case you bristle at the word "blog.") If people aren't visiting blogs directly any…
Are You Going to Social Media Marketing World? SMMW1522 Mar 2015 | 9:50 amI'm going to Social Media Marketing World in San Diego next Tuesday through Thursday. I'm doing two OFFICIAL things that I'll stop explaining because I keep getting it wrong. Beyond that, most of my time is my own (I've got two other formal obligations and a few friend obligations). I thought I'd write out what my hopes are for the event, in case you and I have some shared interests we should cover. First and Foremost I'm definitely there to meet and connect. If you SEE me somewhere and find some dumb reason NOT to connect with me, stop it. Go the hell up…
How a $200 Chromebook Earned my Company $28,000 in Ten Days21 Mar 2015 | 8:08 amThis is the Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-111-C670. It's about the size of a Macbook Air, kinda. It runs the Google Chrome OS, which means it's pretty much like a browser-only deal. All the apps you use are web-based. And this device helped me make $28,000 in ten days. Could a Chromebook Make You More Money? I suspect you already know the real answer to how this worked. This Chromebook isn't the most powerful computer in the universe. If you have a lot of tabs open, it doesn't work well. So, I don't have many tabs open. (hint one) Continue ReadingThe post How a $200…
What Writing A Great Sales Letter Taught Me About Everything19 Mar 2015 | 8:26 amI can count on one hand the number of times that something I've tried to sell has been well-received by the people I serve. You know how some kids are a late bloomer? That's me with most of the things I sell. People buy them years later sometimes. But this time, I really struck gold. How We Write Our Sales Letter Sequence I learned a lot while putting together the now-defunct webinar version of Online Course Maker. (Let me reiterate: the WEBINAR VERSION IS GONE). First, I learned that there's such a thing as too much information for a format. I tried to cram way too much…
4 Revelations that Drove Me to Quit My Job and Start a Business27 Mar 2015 | 3:00 pmSomeone in this room is going to change everything because they cared. Seth Godin and his round-framed glasses stared back at a room filled with ambitious entrepreneurs-in-training, and I looked around wondering who would be the next person to "change everything." That's how my experience at Copyblogger's Authority event in 2014 began — looking into the audience like I wasn't part of the audience. Still not seeing myself as someone who could take a chance and grow my own business. But that's not how I ended my experience. By the conclusion of the…
How to Launch a Podcast Network27 Mar 2015 | 1:00 pmIn previous episodes of New Rainmaker with Brian Clark, Brian and Robert Bruce have discussed the "why" of starting a podcast (or podcast network). In this one, they talk about the "how." As many of you know by now, it has been almost two weeks since Copyblogger Media launched an on-demand audio network called Rainmaker.FM. Thanks to you, things have gone pretty well in that time. What you don't yet know is the story behind that launch — the planning, production, and marketing of the 10 distinct shows that are currently airing. Not to mention the next crop…

Can You Be a Writer and an Editor-in-Chief?27 Mar 2015 | 11:00 amAn editor's job could be viewed as a writer's safety net — an opportunity to catch and correct mistakes before the general public views a writer's work. But what if an editor regards a section of text as a mistake and the writer regards that same section as an integral part of his work of art? Right before Rainmaker.FM launched, Editor-in-Chief host Stefanie Flaxman got the chance to talk to her co-worker, Copyblogger Media's Chief Content Writer Demian Farnworth, about the fragile nature of writer-editor relationships. In this 65-minute episode of…

How Lightroom works: Where it keeps your images and presets, and how to back up27 Mar 2015 | 4:11 pmLots of people are leaping onto the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom bandwagon. One reason is licensing and pricing—for $150 you get a stand-alone copy with a perpetual license or you can subscribe to it, along with Photoshop, for a slick $10/month. Another reason for Lightroom's popularity is that it's a superb alternative to the soon-to-be-dead Aperture.While Lightroom is light years easier to use than most editors, it works in a unique way and, as such, has several pieces and parts. This begs (legitimate) questions such as, "Where are my pictures?", not to mention "Where are my…

USB Type-C peripherals are on the way, and storage devices are first up27 Mar 2015 | 12:45 pmWith Apple's latest MacBook and Google's newest Chromebook just out and featuring the new USB Type-C connector, we're on the lookout for peripherals that use the interface, and storage devices appear to be first out of the gate.Because the Type-C connector can be used to recharge laptops, it may ultimately do away with the need to carry bulky power adapters. Like older USB technology, Type-C will also connect monitors, external storage drives, printers, cameras and other peripherals.

How To Keep Framework Development Simple And Bug-Free27 Mar 2015 | 2:50 amIt's just like that for your product, too: people rely on our products to work.

In this article you'll learn our methodology for testing responsively, not just on a case by case, page-from-PSD comp.

Assessing Mobile Usability With Google Webmaster Tools25 Mar 2015 | 7:57 amBack in 2013, Google officially announced1 that it would begin to penalize websites that provide a faulty user experience on mobile devices. Specific examples included redirecting inner URLs to a home page when viewed in a mobile version of a website, as well as showing 404 errors to people attempting to access pages on mobile. Toward the end of 2014, a Google spokesperson hinted that the mobile user experience would become a ranking factor2. In January 2015, a number of website owners received messages warning about mobile usability issues on their websites, linking to a section of Webmaster…
Help Your Content Go Anywhere With A Mobile Content Strategy23 Mar 2015 | 9:48 amYou've put a lot of thought, time and effort into creating great content, and you want users to have a great experience with your content. While you might have created the best content in the world, you don't get to choose how users access it. That's why it's important to make sure your content works beautifully on every platform and device, desktop, mobile or something else entirely. Before you panic, I'm not advocating that you create individual content strategies for each device or network that your content is published to. That would be crazy, and it wouldn't necessarily work…
Browser Input Events: Can We Do Better Than The Click?20 Mar 2015 | 7:01 amResponding to user input is arguably the core of what we do as interface developers. In order to build responsive web products, understanding how touch, mouse, pointer and keyboard actions and the browser work together is key. You have likely experienced the 300-millisecond delay1 in mobile browsers or wrestled with touchmove2 versus scrolling3. In this article we will introduce the event cascade and use this knowledge to implement a demo of a tap event that supports the many input methods while not breaking in proxy browsers such as Opera Mini. Overview Three primary input methods are used…

Review: Flash Disc Lighting Modifier by Fstoppers28 Mar 2015 | 6:00 amThe more you experiment with off-camera flash, the more you realize that many lighting modifiers are pretty large in size. From softboxes to beauty dishes to umbrellas, many take up space not only in your camera equipment bags, but also on site at a photo shoot. This may be a small price to pay for the dramatic impact these modifiers can have on the resulting image, but sometimes you just want a really compact lighting modifier that can produce great results. One of the answers to this problem is the new Flash Disc by Fstoppers. A handy little device made to fit speedlights, the Flash Disc…

How to Create a Simple Slideshow in Lightroom26 Mar 2015 | 11:00 amIf you're over a "certain" age, you remember creating slideshows for friends or family members to see. The viewing process required a projector and a screen, plus a darkened room to enable people to see the projected slides properly. Thankfully, things have moved on since then and it's now much easier to show your photos to an audience. The advent of laptop computers, social media, blogs and photo sharing websites has rendered the old style of slideshow redundant. However, there's still a place for the new style of slideshow – one viewed on a computer monitor,…

Adding Color24 Mar 2015 | 10:01 pmOriginal Image One of the great things about the adjustment tools is that you can add color to the affect. Heck it could be the only setting you applied to that tool. I rely heavily on Photoshop's color picker/eyedropper to help me choose colors since I have been known to have some color issues. But if you use a track pad or tablet device such as a Wacom Intous in Lightroom and you click on the color swatch to choose a color… as soon as you move your mouse out of the color palette, and try to sample a color in the image… the cursor changes to a regular one and you…

Printing a Multi-Photo Layout? Consider "Draft Mode"23 Mar 2015 | 1:16 amWhen I'm printing a multi-photo layout (like the one you see here) I turn on "Draft Mode Printing" (shown circled here in red) which sends a low-res preview version of each image to the printer, instead of making you wait for each high-resolution image to render, so the print comes out MUCH faster, but the quality is still great because the size of each image is so small. Give this "Draft Mode Printing" a try next time you're doing a multi-photo layout and you'll be amazed at how great those images look even though they're just the low…

Burns shows off the ease of exchanging Apple Watch bands…
Twitter Launches Live-Streaming iOS App 'Periscope'26 Mar 2015 | 5:50 amAfter acquiring live-streaming video service Periscope back in January, Twitter today officially launched the Periscope app, which aims to compete with newly popular apps like Meerkat in allowing users to instantly live-stream right from an iPhone (via The Verge). In development for over a year, once a user syncs their Twitter account with Periscope, they can view a list of curated live feeds on the app's homepage and even replay streams that have since ended.

Worldwide network of Shofar Blowers, Prayer Warriors, Dancers and Flag Ministries to praise the Lord and Sound the Alarm for Change, warning everyone to repent and obey the Lord God! Sign up to network together- see Menu bar and click on "JOIN US"
Dennis with Dr. Michael Brown at West Chester Life Church in Ohio, Randy Rice is the Pastor.
Dennis blew the shofar for the call to worship and Michael delivered a powerful message for these days we are living in.
He is the host of the nationally syndicated Line of Fire radio broadcast, the president of FIRE School of Ministry, and a professor of Bible and Hebrew studies at several leading seminaries. He has preached in more than 25 nations and is widely considered to be the world's foremost Messianic Jewish apologist. see detail at:
The shofar has wide significance. In the past a shofar has been blown to mark any number of occasions, such as the signing of a peace treaty; it was blown to mark Moses' receiving of the Ten Commandments. Ancient Hebrew armies blew shofars as war horns, and it was shofars--not modern trumpets--whose blast blew down the walls of Jericho before Joshua's conquering forces. Today, in the Jewish tradition, the shofar is blown to mark High Holy Days. In the Christian tradition, the shofar is thought to release the Presence and Voice of God, and is blown during any number of worship services and meetings where God is believed present, and speaking.-

Shofar Call - Dennis McKirahan
Hello Dear Friends in Christ,
As I write this important letter to you, I pray that all is well with you and that many lives are being changed by your witness for the Lord.
For the past 15 months, I have been serving on a Steering Committee for a Tour to Israel that includes a Joel 2 Solemn Assembly. In addition, I am part of the Leadership Planning Committee which includes leading our Shofar Team at the Solemn Assembly which will be held in Jerusalem on March 20th (this year) in conjunction with the solar eclipse. We will be praying at the Jerusalem Prayer Tower at King of kings Church and also on the South Wall of the Temple Mount, as well as 26 other strategic and key locations during our trip.
The main purpose of our travels to the Holy Land is to pray and cry out to our God for the forgiveness of our sins and those of our nation, and to ask for His mercy and help so that He will heal our land and follow His Will. "Yahweh...not our way."
We will be with Government Leaders, Rabbis, Pastors, Ministry and Prayer Leaders, and Christians from several nations.
There are three things I ask you to consider:
#1) Would you join us on this trip special Israel trip?
#2) Would you be a prayer partner and set time aside to pray daily for us, the trip and all involved through March 22nd when we return home?
#3) If you are unable to go, would you consider helping to send me with a financial offering? It is always difficult for me to ask for money, and I have only done that one other time back in 2005 when some of you were so kind to support my wife Betty and I when we were asked to go to Russia with the marriage ministry of Campus Crusade. Wow, what a blessing that ended up being! We raised all the support and were able to go. We filmed a marriage video at the Christian University, then edited and produced it. That video wasdistributed to thousands of churches, home churches and small groups to help better marriage life in Russia.
I ask for you to seed into our Ministry and also, into Israel. One of our other goals is to support and bless Israel according to God's Word, and by helping us financially, you will have a role in that!
This trip will cost me over $3,200. I have $500 so far but, I still need $2,700 by February 15.
As you know some go, some are set, but all can share in the reward as we give!
If the Lord leads you to help send me to Israel, I will write your name on a piece of paper, insert it into the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, and say a special prayer for you!
I appreciate any size financial gift. I will update you as we go and when we return.
You can send money to me by PayPal and mark it as a personal gift so there is no fee. Just go online to www.PayPal.com and enter this email address:email@example.com
Or please send a check to:

Today's "Verse of the Day" on the popular Bible/YouVersion app is Proverbs 16:3. It's one of my all-time favorite proverbs.
"Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established".
One of my favorite translations of this verse actually says "your plans will succeed".
Who doesn't want success? Who really wants to waste time with futile efforts and failed plans? Nobody that I know.
This verse rings true for me in so many ways:
– as a husband and father
– as a worship pastor and leader
– as an entrepreneur and business owner
– as an employer/boss
– as an employee
– and on and on and on …
The list could go on and on. There are two principles in play here. First, we have to commit our work to God. Some translations use work, some use actions, some use works (plural) .. the NIV covers it all by translating as "commit whatever you do".
The second principle is that in doing the first, we will see success in our plans. Why is this? Because it says our thoughts will be established.
Thoughts are so incredibly powerful. The direction that we think is the direction we tend to go.
In my life I've made so many decisions – big ones, like selling a business, hiring employees, or choosing an amazing woman to marry … and every day ones like choosing the right song for a worship service, buying a friend's coffee, or keeping my mouth quiet when I want to rant. If I'm fully committed to the Lord, I can trust that He is also ordering my steps and my thoughts.
People often ask "how can I know that I'm doing what God wants"? For me, I like to try and stay surrendered and committed to God. When I'm in that place, I feel very confident that my thoughts and plans are from Him, and that gives me confidence to act because I know those plans will succeed.
What does succeed mean to God, though? Well, I suppose that's a blog for another day!
My encouragement today is that you take some time to dedicate and commit your day, your ideas, your work, your wonderings, your decisions to the Lord. Surrender them to Him. Roll them over on Him. Then, trust the thoughts in your heart and let them lead you into actions and plans that will lead to success.
For the Kingdom,

help, blue atlas cedear being attacked
I have a blue atlas cedar, and noticed alot of needles turning brown and falling off. I was unsure of what was going on, upon closer examination I see that there are big groups of very small bugs/insects on the tree. they are in various clumps spread throughout the branches. I am not sure what they are but I got out my hose and squirted them all off. They seemed to be very soft and came off easily but it was odd that they were all grouped together in clumps piled on top of each other. I saw maybe 8-10 clumps of these insect/bugs throughout the tree.
Can anyone help identify this creature? and secondly andmost importantly if I got them all off is there anything else I can do to prevent them from coming back?
As always thanks in advance,
Thx for the responses guys. These creatures are a grayish black and come off very easily. a squirt of the hose and they go flying. They seem to squish very easily too. Problem is there are so many bunches of them all throughout the branches. The tree is about 15 feet tall. I tried to take pictures but the camera would not focus on them b/c they are too small.
Every instance of them are in bunches, and they seem to have a few legs and some kind of antenna on the front of their head. When I try to take them off with my fingers I basically squish them without even trying. SOmetimes it's hard to see them b/c they are on the underside of the branches too
Are they sucking the sap out of my cedar? I'd say about 10% of the needles turned brown and have fallen off. Will new needles replace these in teh future or will these branches remain bare for the rest of the trees life?
as always thanks in advance,
