HauteLook, which sells luxury clothing for women, men and children, as well as upscale travel packages and home furnishings is now bringing its online "sample sales" to Facebook.
"Our members spend one-third of their online time on Facebook. So we know that getting out of the e-mail inbox is going to be crucial for the flash-sale business," said Adam Bernhard, chief executive of the company. "This is designed to go where the shoppers are instead of where they come to shop."
Shoppers will still have to register with HauteLook to buy items offered for sale, but they will not have to leave Facebook in order to make their purchase.

London 08/02/2013 -The metals put in another down day yesterday, with the industrial precious metals leading the declines with average losses of 1.4 percent, with base metals off an average of 0.4 percent and gold down 0.4 percent. Overall we feel the metals are undergoing a correction, which considering prices had run up to the top of their 12 to 15-month ranges in many cases is not so surprising, especially given some pick-up in concern over Europe. In addition, the run up in Asian equities since early December also looks overdone. Overnight Chinese CPI and PPI data came in as expected with CPI at 2 percent and PPI at minus 1.6 percent, while the trade data showed copper imports rising 2.9 percent compared with December. Trading overnight has been relatively quiet with the base metals showing average gains of 0.2 percent, while the precious metals are down by 0.2 percent. Zinc is up the most with a 0.5 percent gain to $2,167.50, whole copper is up 0.3 percent at $8,235. The PGMs are off an average of 0.4 percent while gold is unchanged at $1,671.40. Volumes on the LME remain light at 4,581 lots, but are likely to shrink further next with China on holiday. In Shanghai the April base metals contracts are up 0.3 percent with lead leading the way forward with a 0.6 percent gain to Rmb 15,390, aluminium is up 0.3 percent at Rmb 15,140, copper is up 0.2 percent at Rmb 59,480 and zinc is up 0.1 percent at Rmb 15,780. Rebar is up 0.6 percent at Rmb 4,036, while gold is unchanged at Rmb 340.31. Spot copper in Changjiang jumped 0.6 percent to Rmb 58,950-59,150, which has narrowed the contango with the futures to around an equivalent to $50/tonne, while the LME/Shanghai arb window remains closed with the ratio around 7.23. Equities – yesterday was a down day for equities with the Euro Stoxx 50 off 0.7 percent and the Dow down 0.3 percent, but it looks as though there has been some pre-holiday short-covering in Asia with the Hang Seng up 0.2 percent, China's CSI 300 and the MSCI Asia Apex are up 0.4 percent, while the Nikkei is off 1.8 percent – no doubt on the back of a correction in the yen. Currencies – yesterday was turn-around day for the currencies with the euro reversing, last at 1.3390, the yen strengthening to 92.75, cable is firmer at 1.5732, after a low of 1.5627, the aussie is weaker at 1.0306, although earlier today it went as low at 1.0253, while the Chinese yuan is little changed at 6.2335. The economic calendar focuses on trade balances, China's trade surplus for January is difficult compare with last year as the Chinese New Year was in January last year, but will be in February this year. Japan's economic watchers sentiment climbed to 49.5 from 45.8, the German trade surplus climbed, France's trade deficit shrank and later we get Italian industrial production, the US trade balance and wholesale inventories – see table attached for more details. On balance we expect the industrial metals to consolidate further at lower numbers after the strength they have seen in recent weeks. Even the PGMs, which arguably have the strongest reasons to be rallying, are consolidating, so if they are then we would expect the base metals to pull back too. Bullion is stuck sideways, the upside forays keep running into resistance, but we expect buying interest will remain firm as dollar, euro and yen creditors look to diversify exposure away from fiat currencies.

Description This is a continuation patent application that claims priority to a divisional patent application Ser. No. 10/606,983, filed on Jun. 26, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,017,835, which is a division of an application Ser. No. 09/769,707, filed Jan. 25, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,623,561, and a continuation application Ser. No. 09/769,706, filed Jan. 25, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,962, and application Ser. No. 09/271,477, filed Mar. 17, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,804. The present invention relates generally to rotary atomizers and more particularly to a rotary atomizer having improved performance for particulate paints. Currently, many paints are applied by rotary atomizers to work pieces, such as automobile bodies. Rotary atomizers include a rotating bell cup having a generally conical overflow surface between a radially inward central axial opening and a radially outward atomizing edge. At or near the atomizing edge, the angle of the overflow surface relative to the axis of the bell cup decreases sharply to form a lip adjacent the atomizing edge. The purpose of this lip is to generally direct the atomized paint more axially forward and reduce radial scatter. The known atomizer bell cups further include a deflector, also of generally rotational symmetry, disposed in front of the central axial opening. Paint entering the bell cup through the central axial opening contacts the rear surface of the deflector and is disbursed radially outwardly towards the overflow surface. In the known atomizer bell cups, the paint follows a tortuous, turbulent path from the nozzle to the atomizing edge. As a result, the paint flow to the atomizing edge is turbulent and fluctuates cyclically. As a result, paint from the atomizer is atomized to a wide variety of paint droplet sizes. The paint droplets can vary by up to 100 microns or more. Current rotary atomizers are unable to obtain good color matching applying paints with particulates, such as mica. Generally, the mica comprise particles on the order of 3 microns by 200 microns. When this paint is applied by rotary atomizers, the mica particles are oriented generally perpendicular to the application surface. As a result, the paint has a different tint or color than intended, i.e. with the mica particles laying flat. In order to correct this problem, a second coat of the paint is typically applied with air atomized spray guns rather than rotary atomizers. This second coat provides the proper color; however, air atomized spray guns have a low transfer efficiency (approximately 50%) compared to rotary atomizers (approximately 80%). The air atomized spray guns therefore increase the amount of paint lost, increasing the cost of the paint process and cause environmental concerns regarding the disposal of the lost paint. The present invention provides a rotary atomizer which provides improved color matching. Generally, the improved atomizer provides a more uniformed paint droplet size, which in turn facilitates control of the particulates in order to assure proper orientation of the particulates and obtain good color matching. The rotary atomizer bell cup according to the present invention provides several inventive features directed toward reducing deviation in paint droplet size. First, the bell cup includes a generally conical overflow surface having a generally constant flow angle between a deflector and the atomizing edge. Further, the exposed surface area of the overflow surface is increased by decreasing the size of the deflector relative to previous bell cups in order to cause evaporation of solvent from the paint from the overflow surface. The diameter of the atomizing edge is also increased, thereby reducing the thickness of the paint film at the atomizing edge. The bell cup is designed to reduce flow deviations of the paint as it travels from the axial opening to the spray edge in order to provide laminar flow of the paint across the overflow surface and the atomizing edge. The bell cup is made hollow in order to reduce the weight of the bell cup. A rear cover is secured to the rear of the bell cup body, enclosing an annular cavity. The above, as well as other advantages of the present invention, will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment when considered in the light of the accompanying scale drawings in which: The bell cup 22 is shown in more detail in An annular hub 33 extends rearwardly from the bell cup 22 and includes an externally threaded portion 34. A frustoconical rear cover 35 is threaded onto the threaded portion 34 of the annular hub 33 and welded or glued to the rear of the bell cup 22 behind the spray edge 32. As a result, the body of the bell cup 22 behind the overflow surface 26 is hollow, reducing the weight of the bell cup 22. A concentric inner hub 36 extends rearwardly from the bell cup 22 and is externally threaded for mounting to the atomizer 20. Other means for attaching the bell cup 22 to the atomizer 20 can also be utilized. The spray edge 32 forms a sharp edge between the overflow surface 30 and a small bevel 38 leading to the outer rear surface of the bell cup 22. If the atomizer 20 is to be used to apply basecoat, the bell cup 22 preferably comprises a titanium alloy, preferably Ti�6Al�4V. If the atomizer 20 is to be used to apply clear coat or primer, the bell cup 22 is preferably Aluminum, most preferably 6Al�4V, 6Al�25N�4Zr�2MO. If the bell cup 22 is titanium, the rear cover 35 is preferably welded to the rear of the bell cup 22 behind the spray edge 32. If Aluminum is used, the rear cover 35 is preferably glued to the rear of the bell cup 22 behind the spray edge 32. Small serrations may be formed on the surface 26 at the spray edge 32 for clearcoat spraying. These serrations are well known and utilized in the art. Positioned in front of the central axial opening 24 is a deflector 40 which includes a rear surface 42 generally parallel to the perpendicular surface 28 of the bell cup 22 and a rear conical surface 44 which is preferably parallel to the overflow surface 30 of the bell cup 22. The deflector 40 is preferably approximately 22.3 millimeters in diameter, and preferably approximately ⅓ of the diameter of the spray edge 32. More particularly, the diameter of the deflector is less than 40 percent, and most preferably approximately 34.5 percent the diameter of the spray edge 32. The deflector 40 is shown in more detail in The improved bell cup 22 provides a reduced deviation in particle size, which in turn facilitates control of the particulates. In other words, if the size of the atomized paint particles from the spray edge 32 is known, the shaping air velocity, turbulence and RPM of the bell cup 22 and paint flow can be adjusted to ensure that the particles are forced to lay flat on the painted surface by the shaping air from the shaping air ring 23. With a reduced deviation in particle size, these parameters can be optimized for a greater percentage of the paint droplets, thereby providing better color matching. The reduced deviation in particle size is a result of several inventive aspects of the bell cup 22 and deflector 40. First, the larger annular surface 30 causes more of the solvent (such as water) to evaporate before reaching the spray edge 32. The large diameter spray edge 32 provides a thin film of paint at the spray edge 32. The reduced ratio of the deflector disk 40 to the spray edge 32 provides a more constant, laminar flow across the overflow surface 30 to the spray edge 32. Because the conical surface 30 is continuous and smooth from the deflector 40 to the spray edge 32 and has a constant angle α, the paint flow rate to the spray edge is constant (i.e. does not oscillate). As a result, better control over paint particle size is achieved. Further, as can be seen in An example will be given utilizing the inventive atomizer 20 of More generally, the bell speed rotation is preferably between 60,000 and 80,000 RPM. Also, the fluid flow of paint preferably does not exceed 250 ml/min. In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes and jurisprudence, exemplary configurations described above are considered to represent a preferred embodiment of the invention. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope. Patent Citations

You woke up on something soft and warm, a thing you never been on but always wanted; a bed. That was when you realized you weren't in your dog form. Quickly, you looked around for clothes; but, to your great astonishment, you had a large shirt draped over your small frame. The shirt covered you down to almost your knees. You continued to look for clothes for a better covering. (You were looking for panties, a bra, and better fitting clothes.) While on your search, you found yourself staring back at yourself in a mirror.
In your opinion, it looked like someone had washed you.
Your soft features weren't caked in dried mud and dust. Those tangled (h/c) locks of yours were brushed and shined with cleanness. Even under your long finger nails were clean and they were also cut. You were amazed by the difference, you had only seen yourself as a dirty half human half dog thing. Seeing yourself this way made you feel like a person not a thing. For the first time in a long time you didn't smell gross, actually you smelled nicely of (favorite flower here). A gentle knock on the door made you jump higher than the moon.
"Excuse-a me bella, may I-a come in?" a sweet man's voice thick with an Italian accent asked.
"Umm..... o-okay," you replied hesitantly. The door was open quickly by a tall brunette man. He had a similar curl to the man in your dreams, but it was the other side. His eyes seemed to be closed and he wore a goofy, clueless smile. Wavy locks fall in his face based on how his hair was parted. He had a rather round face, he was sort of adorable like you just wanted to embrace and cuddle him to death. But you didn't, because he had food.
"I wanted to-a see if you were-a up to-a give you food, my fratello-a made it," the man told you as he set a bowl of pasta on the night stand with a fork next to the bowl.
"Umm... gratzie for the food Mr...." you trailed off.
"I'm-a Feliciano Vargas, you can-a call me Feli," Feli told you.
"I'm (your name), it's nice to meet you," you said smiling softly, which caused your very chapped lips to bleed a bit. He seemed to get a bit freaked out by the sight of blood.
"Oh no you are-a bleeding!" he cried out and started running around in circles. This frightened you, so you changed your form to your puppy form and ran under the bed. You felt ashamed for scaring the nice man who is giving you a place to stay and even feeding you. You heard someone coming down the hallway to the room you were in.
"Fartello, you idoita why are-a you crying!" a deeper voice thick with an accent yelled as he entered the room.
So this is the second part of my romano story. I'm so happy people like it. I love you all so much.
I own nothing but the story line, kay.

Taking advantage of the free camping, I got up early and had a cup of croffee (old crow and coffee) and was gone by just after sunrise. At the first gas stop I had another cup of croffee. You use Old Crow sparingly in croffee, kinda like just adding a little sweetener. With the second exhaust pipe removed, this makes the perfect place to strap on a half gallon of Old Crow.
I was ticking off the miles nicely again however I had to pee before the next gas stop. Oh well, I was still on schedule to meet my bro Blurry later in the day.
I hit Laramie about noon. That ended my freeway segment of the journey and I decided to remove my windshield and send it to my house in Utah.
The Super Enduro got to run fast for a day and a half so she wasnt feeling all cooped up but she was definitely happy to ditch the windshield. She knew what this meant and what was ahead.

The Viral Sport
Friday, June 08, 2007
Surfing has films, skateboarding has VHS tapes, and parkour has the internet. After a few clips of David Belle leaping around the French suburbs made their way to the internet, a sport was accidentally born. New Yorker writer Alec Wilkinson explains how parkour managed to be the first sport to go viral.

Even though different chromatographic procedures have been developed for the analysis of
Microwave energy is known to have a significant effect on the rate of various processes in the chemical and food industry. Much attention has been given to the application of microwave dielectric heating in analytical chemistry because of the reduced analysis time, simplified manipulation and higher purity of the final product. The advantages of using microwave energy as a non-contact heat source for the extraction of analytes from plant materials include: more effective heating, faster energy transfer, reduced thermal gradients, selective heating and reduced equipment size, faster response to process heating control, faster start-up, increased production, and elimination of process steps [
All the reported applications have shown that microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MAE) is a viable alternative to conventional techniques for such matrices. The main benefits are the reduction of extraction time, energy and solvent used [
The aim of this present study was to investigate Microwave-Integrated Extraction and Leaching (MIEL) ability to extract quinoline alkaloids from bark of
The basic principle of the process of microwave-integrated extraction and leaching is illustrated in the
The base vessel is a traditional glass round-bottom flask. The flask (1) for containing the solid material is a flask suited for microwave reactions. The base vessel contains an inner support (3) for placing the solid material (2) to be extracted. The inner support is a porous support made out of material which absorbs or not microwave radiation. Preferably, the support made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is placed at a defined distance above the bottom of the base vessel.
This technique presents the advantage that, after the method has been performed, the solid material (2) placed on said support can easily be separated from the residual solvent which is collected at the bottom of the vessel. The device for carrying out the extraction further comprises an extraction tube (5) which is placed on top of the base vessel. The extraction tube is typically a glass tube. Thus, the microwave oven (12) is provided with an opening on its upper surface (11) such that the extraction tube (5) which is fitted on top of the base vessel may extend from inside the microwave oven (12) to outside. The extraction tube (5) comprises a side arm (6) which is provided with at least one valve and one opening (9). Depending on how the valve is adjusted, the solvent may reflux down the sidearm (6) back into the extraction tube (5) and eventually back into the base vessel (1) or when the valve is adjusted accordingly, the refluxing solvent may be collected from the opening (9). Additionally, the side arm provided with another opening (10) which, depending on the application, may be used to pull a vacuum in the system.
A condenser (7) is placed on top of the extraction tube (5) in order to allow the solvent present in the base vessel to reflux upon microwave irradiation. Refluxing allows the sample to be extracted to be repeatedly percolated, thus increasing the extraction yield. The extraction using the proposed method is carried out by immersing the solid sample material into the vessel containing the solvent under reflux, where it undergoes repeated percolations with the same organic solvent. The four stages of the process are preceded of the preparation of the material.
The bark powder of Cinchona
An amount of 15 g of the bark powder was treated with 6 g of calcium hydroxide and 15 mL of sodium hydroxide (5%).
The sample is introduced into a paper filter and placed onto the PTFE filter support (3) and 300 mL of dichloromethane is added in order to immerse the sample (4a). Then, the base vessel is placed in the microwave oven (12) and screwed together with the extraction tube (5). The condenser (7) is placed on the extraction tube and the system is started. The four steps are as follows.
First, the solvent is heated up to the boiling point by microwaves. The solvent vapors penetrate through the sample and the condensation takes place on the condenser. Then, the condensate drips down onto the sample by adjusting the 3-way valve (8). The extraction is performed for 5 min.
Second, the level of the solvent is lowered below the sample (4b) by adjusting the 3-way valve accordingly during 10 min. Third, a repeated leaching is performed with only clean fresh solvent during 17 min with the a valve adjustment that forces the condensate directly back into the extraction tube. Finally, the level of the solvent is lowered to concentrate the extract. Extractions were performed in triplicate and the mean values were reported.
The sample is transferred to a 33 mm × 100 mm cellulose thimble and placed after in the extraction chamber of a 200 mL capacity Soxhlet apparatus. The cellulose thimble was clogged with cotton in order to avoid transfer of sample particles to the distillation flask. The Soxhlet apparatus, fitted with a condenser, was placed on a 500 mL distillation flask containing 300 mL of solvent and 3 boiling glass regulator. Samples were thus extracted under reflux with dichloromethane during 3 hours (5–6 cycles/h).
After the extraction, the major solvent was eliminated in a vacuum rotary evaporator. The content was then transferred in a smaller tarred flask and concentrated to dryness with a vacuum rotary evaporator. The flask was then weighed and the operation repeated during 30 min until difference between two consecutive weights was smaller than 10% (w/w). Extractions were performed at least three times and the mean values were reported.
Results obtained were expressed as described hereinafter:
Reference standards and sample extracts prepared by MIEL or Soxhlet extraction were dissolved in the mobile phase at the concentration of 2 mg/mL. The solutions obtained were subjected to a slight heating when necessary and filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane before injection.
The HPLC system (Shimadzu, Japan) consisted of a LC-10A pump connected to a SPD-10A UV-VIS detector. Analysis of injected extracts was performed with the Start Chromatography Workstation software (version 4.51, Varian, USA). Manual injections were carried out using a Rheodyne injector 77,251 with 20 μL sample loop.
The separation was performed at room temperature on a Microsorb-MV C8 column (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm ID, Varian, USA) under isocratic reversed-phase conditions. A flow-rate of 1.4 mL/min was used with a detection wavelength of 316 nm. The elution system was prepared as described below. 700 mL of buffer consisting of 50 mM KH2PO4 and 30 mM hexylamine were acidified to pH 2.8 with phosphoric acid 10% and then supplemented with 60 mL acetonitrile. 1000 mL of mobile phase was finally obtained by addition of water.
The investigation and optimization of the performance of the Microwave integrated extraction and leaching (MIEL) was obtained by the response surface methodology (RSM). A Box Wilson procedure, commonly called central composite design (CCD), was used to evaluate the relevance of the three controlled factors (namely extraction time, leaching time and irradiation power). The multivariate study allows the identification of interactions between variables and provides a complete exploitation of the experimental domain to be studied with a reduced number of experiments. The CCD comprise a two-level full factorial design (coded ±1), superimposed by centre points (coded 0) and "star points" (coded ±
The three key variables studied were pointed at five separate coded levels: −
This complete procedure involves 20 experiments including six replications of the center points to take the experimental error of the measurements into account, thus allowing isovariance estimation. The distribution of the experimental points can be displayed on a graphical representation (see
Three variables that affect extraction of quinoline alkaloids from bark of
Experimental data allowed us to fit the yield of extracted as a function of extraction time, leaching time and applied power. The second-order polynomial equation of the response surface obtained is represented as follows:
Yield (%): 10.2505 − 0.4637
An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out in order to test the model signification and suitability. Thus, various statistical data such as standard error, sum of squares,
The length of the bars is proportional to the absolute magnitude of the estimated effects coefficients while the dashed line represents the minimum magnitude of statistically significant effects (95% of the confidence interval) with respect to the response. It can be seen that microwave power has the most important influence on yields followed by squared term of power and extraction time, interaction of extraction time and power, square root of leaching time, and the leaching time.
Response surface optimization can be calculated depending on the three key variables, namely extraction time, leaching time and power. The maximum yield computed by the software is calculated by the maximum value of the surface response for a set of variables lying between the minimum and maximum value of the CCD plan. The optimized conditions obtained using the model for each parameter were: extraction time, 5 min; leaching time 17 min and irradiation power 60 W, 60 W. Using those optimized conditions, the model predicted a maximum response of 5.5%. In order to verify the predicted response and assure the validity of the results, an experiment using optimized conditions was carried out in triplicate and compared to the statistically predicted value. A mean value of 5.4 ± 0.1% of yield obtained from MIEL experiments validated the reponse surface methodology model, representing a comparable yield if compared to conventional Soxhlet extraction (5.7%). Therefore, the MIEL technology represents a promising alternative to Soxhlet extraction with comparable yields in significantly shorter time with reduced use of solvents.
The yield of quinoline alkaloids obtained from
The first step (0 to 5 min) is represented by an increasing line which characterizes the extraction time. This phase is followed by the second step, where the level of the solvent is lowered below the sample. In this stage (realized into 10 min) the quinoline alkaloids amount represents nearly 60% of the global yield. The third part corresponds to the leaching time and after 17 min we obtained the maximum of the yield (5.7%).
What was initially observed is that MIEL increased the kinetic of extraction. We can see that during the extraction time we obtained a yield of 3.46% by MIEL in 5 min whereas 25 min are needed to reach this performance using the conventional method.
The chromatograph corresponding to the
The relative percentages of the different compounds are calculated by internal normalization by comparing samples against previously injected standards (
The quinoline alkaloids extracts provided either by MIEL or Soxhlet contain the same dominant components. Cinchonine, cinchonidine and quinine were the three major compounds in the extract.
The results by MIEL are similar to those obtained by Soxhlet. Extract composition was equivalent in terms of quinine (~15%), quinidine (~2.9%), cinchonidine (~22%) and cinchonine (~37%) for both extraction methods but also in terms of yield (5.7%).
In this application, microwave irradiation highly accelerated the extraction process (32 min), but without causing considerable changes in the composition; a phenomenon which was already described by Paré
It is important to note that microwave extraction with a long operating time can lead to degradation of valuable products as reported by Cañizares-Macías
In this paper we try to optimize our experimental conditions by reducing the extraction and leaching time in order to prevent this degradation phenomenon. The analysis of the extracts do not show a substantial difference between conventional and microwave extracts, but this does not mean that there is no degradation at ppm or ppb level.
MIEL is proposed as an "environmentally friendly" extraction method for quinoline alkaloids. The reduced cost of extraction is clearly advantageous for the proposed MIEL method in terms of energy, solvent used and time. Conventional procedure required an extraction time of 3 hours. The MIEL method required heating for only 32 min. The energy required to perform the two extraction methods are respectively 3 kW·h for conventional Soxhlet (electrical energy for heating and evaporating) and 0.15 kW·h for MIEL (electrical energy for microwave supply). The power consumption has been determined with a Wattmeter at the microwave generator entrance and the electrical heater power supply. Concerning environmental impact, the calculated quantity of carbon dioxide rejected in the atmosphere is higher in the case of conventional Soxhlet extraction (2823 g CO2/g of quinoline alkaloid extract) than for MIEL (148 g CO2/g of quinoline alkaloid extract). These calculations have been made according to literature: to obtain 1 kW·h from coal or fuel, 800 g of CO2 will be rejected in the atmosphere during combustion of fossil fuel [

Wisconsin committed a penalty on its first two-point try and failed in its next attempt to enable the Michigan Wolverines to overcome a 19-point halftime deficit.
Wisconsin was trailing 27-19 before Allan Evridge hit Gilreath on a 22-yard scoring strike. The Badgers converted the first two-point try, but an illegal receiver down field nullified the tying score.
Brandon Graham had two forced fumbles and three sacks for the Wolverines (2-2, 1-0 Big Ten). John Thompson added a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown for the victors.
Michigan gained only 19 yards and turned the ball over five times in the first half. Brandon Minor and Sam McGuffie each scored rushing touchdowns and Kevin Koger caught a 26-yard TD pass in the win.

Jennifer "Jennie" Bond (born 19 August 1950) is a British journalist and television presenter. Bond worked for fourteen years as the BBC's royal correspondent.[1] She has most recently hosted Cash in the Attic and narrated the programme, Great British Menu.
Early career[edit]
Born in Hitchin,[1] Bond was educated at St. Francis' College, a girls' independent school in Letchworth, Hertfordshire and at the University of Warwick, from where she graduated with a degree in French and European Literature.[1] Her career began in print, working for various local newspapers in London in journalism and sub-editing roles. Her first job in journalism was as a reporter for the Richmond Herald and then the Uxbridge Evening Mail.[1]
In 1977, aged 27, Bond moved to BBC radio, producing and editing. She was also a producer on Woman's Hour, Tuesday Call, International Assignment and for various television documentaries.[2]
Royal correspondent[edit]
In 1985, Bond became a radio news reporter and in 1988 she began to report for television, both for the BBC. She became a royal correspondent, which was to bring her to public attention, in 1989. During the 1990s she combined her reporting with several presentational roles – regularly fronting Breakfast News, the BBC One O'Clock News and the BBC Six O'Clock News, including presenting the Six O'Clock News on the day of the death of her close friend and fellow news reader Jill Dando.[1]
Bond held the position as royal correspondent until the summer of 2003. During that time she reported on many dramatic and notable events to do with the royal family, including the 1992 Windsor Castle fire; two royal weddings; the break-up of the Duke of York's marriage to Sarah Ferguson; the divorce of the Prince and Princess of Wales; the deaths of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, and has reported on the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh's celebrations of her Golden Jubilee .[1] She has also travelled extensively with the Royal Family. She was in Australia, in January 1994, when an attempt was made to shoot the Prince of Wales.[3]
She travelled with Diana, Princess of Wales on her trip to Angola, with the Queen on her first official visits to Russia in 1994 and when she met Nelson Mandela in South Africa a year later.[1] However, her hardest and most challenging assignments were when she had to report on the death and funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.[1]
Bond's reporting style suggested that she was very close personally to members of the Royal Family. She commented that she had become close to Diana and that her death came as a great shock.[4] She actually instigated her first meeting with Diana. She sent a note, suggesting that if she was to report on Diana properly then she should at least know what her character was actually like, not basing her thoughts on stories that had appeared in newspapers. She commented on that meeting at Kensington Palace, stating: "Princess Diana was charming, articulate, fresh, interesting, but manipulative. She knew I was a journalist. This was no girlie-girlie meeting." [5]
She wrote a book in 2001 called Reporting Royalty, which tells how she covered the Royal Family in the 1990s. Impressionists such as Ronni Ancona on Alistair McGowan's Big Impression took to satirising Bond's royal reports by posing as Bond and pretending to be the Queen herself, crown and all; in one sketch it was announced that Bond was to imminently accede to the throne.[citation needed]
Life after the BBC[edit]
Following her departure from the BBC in 2003, Bond's career took a different turn. In 2003, she made an appearance in an episode of the comedy series Little Britain. In February 2004 she proved popular with the public, when she finished as runner-up in the third series of the reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. This episode, broadcast on 9 February, received viewing figures of 14.99 million, making it the most watched programme on ITV and BBC One that week. [6]
Bond appeared on I'm a Celebrity to raise money for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust and raised £260,989.85 which the charity used to buy a state-of-the-art navigation system and to extend its helicopter flying time throughout the summer.[7] During her time on the reality television show, she was required to do various 'bushtucker' trials, which involved her eating various creatures such as a stick insect and a witchety grub, as well as being placed in a dark, water-filled coffin with rats for ten minutes.[8] She also fell out with fellow contestant Lord Brocket during the programme.[9]
She took part in a Celebrity episode of The Chase in 2011, where she won £20,000 for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.
She subsequently presented American TV cable and satellite network E!'s coverage of the BAFTA film awards, Live from the Red Carpet. She also presented her own three part documentary called Jennie Bond's Royals on Channel 5 and in 2005, she presented the BBC's daytime coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show, alongside Charlie Dimmock. In the same year, Bond appeared in Have I Been Here Before?. More recently she appeared in Posh Swap on Five, where she was transformed into a Brummie woman. She had to convince two of her best friends she really was the Brummie lass. Bond was also the host for the first series of Great British Menu, in which different chefs have to compete by cooking meals; the winner of the first series had the chance to cook for the Queen on her 80th birthday. Bond has presented the BBC's Cash in the Attic. In 2006, she was a celebrity guest on Stars in Their Eyes where she sang as Debbie Harry. She presented the second series of Great British Menu during April and May 2007.[citation needed]
On 28 July 2007, Bond appeared in a special celebrity version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with Michael Buerk to raise money for NCH, the children's charity, (now called 'Action for Children'). In a combined effort, they raised £64,000. On 22 August 2007, she presented an episode of Driving Me Crazy which saw her investigating whether the authorities are giving motorists excessive penalties through speeding fines and parking tickets.[citation needed]
She has featured as the celebrity 'hider' in a 2008 episode of the CBBC show Hider in the House. In the show, she managed to complete all her challenges without being 'discovered'. She (also in 2008), hosted a show called Lost Royals. Bond took part in ITV's entertainment show Born To Shine in aid of Save The Children.[citation needed]
In September 2012, Bond appeared alongside Susie Dent on the Channel 4 programme Countdown.
Personal life[edit]
In 1982, Bond married James W Keltz. They have one daughter Emma Natasha born 1990. Jennie worked for fourteen years as the BBC's royal correspondent.[1]

Guidelines for Securing Organizational Support For Emotional Intelligence Efforts
By: Cary Cherniss |
Download PDF |
Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) - Rutgers University |
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com |
(Note: These guidelines emerged from a study of the development of the Emotional Competence program at American Express Financial Advisors) |
1. Link emotional intelligence to a business need.
Support for training and development in emotional intelligence will increase if it is clearly linked to a business need. People in the organization need to see it not as just a "nice" thing to do that makes people "feel good," though this may be important and desirable. In order to gain the level of support needed for successful implementation, emotional intelligence must be viewed as something that makes good business sense.
2. Find a powerful sponsor.
For better or worse, organizations tend to be political entities. The support of an influential executive thus is vital for a new, unconventional initiative such as emotional intelligence training. Finding a powerful sponsor who can provide political protection and financial backing can make the difference between success and failure.
3. Establish a mechanism such as a "skunkworks" team for developing the idea.
Emotional intelligence is an innovative and unconventional idea in the organizational world. Efforts to promote it in organizations thus can be easily smothered by the rigidity of a bureaucracy. Ideally, it should be developed and initially operated by a self-managed team that has an "open ticket" to innovate. The team should have less formality, more flexible roles, and more open flows of information. It also should be kept relatively free of "creativity killers" such as surveillance, evaluation, over-control, and arbitrary deadlines. A particularly good way of achieving this type of setting is to establish a "skunkworks team," which was the name of the famed R&D team at Lockheed that sequestered itself and produced a number of innovations.
4. Use research to evaluate the program and demonstrate its value.
Emotional intelligence activities that are not based on solid research are highly vulnerable. Emotional intelligence training, even more than other types of activity, needs to be research-driven. The research should be extensive enough to give key decision-makers confidence that emotional intelligence training is based on sound, objective analysis. Both qualitative and quantitative research have value in securing support.
5. Make sure that the program's quality is so high that it is beyond reproach.
Because emotional intelligence training is not a traditional business concern, it is vulnerable to criticism. To counteract the detrimental effects of such criticism, it is important to insure that training efforts meet the highest standards. If an emotional intelligence program becomes associated with shoddy, superficial work, resistance to it will increase further. Opponents of such training need few excuses to kill it.
6. Infuse emotional intelligence into the organization in a variety of ways.
In order to bring emotional intelligence training and development into the mainstream, it is useful to find different ways of positioning and presenting it in the organization. For instance, different versions of a program can be developed for different groups. Multiple infusion helps to normalize and generalize the concept. It also creates a culture in which people are repeatedly reminded of what they have learned and thus are more likely to apply it on the job.
7. Find emotionally intelligent leaders to guide implementation.
Implementing emotional intelligence initiatives in organizational settings often is a challenging task. Even with the support of powerful sponsors and good timing, one is likely to encounter much resistance. Success depends on the emotional intelligence of those who orchestrate the implementation effort.
8. Move when the timing is right
At certain times in the life of any organization, the conditions will be more or less favorable for the implementation of emotional intelligence training and development activities. Those who wish to establish such activities in their organization need to ask themselves whether the timing is right. Sometimes, it may be necessary to wait until conditions are more favorable.

Emotional and Social Intelligence Competencies: Cross Cultural Implications
Continued research on the assessment and development of emotional and social intelligence competencies represents an opportunity to further both theoretical and applied applications of behavioral science to the management of human capital. While the field has continued to expand over the preceding decades, research has often trailed application, especially as it relates to cross-cultural validity.

Home fabrics sales hurt Hancock in Q3
November 17, 2004
-- Home Textiles Today,BALDWYN, Miss. — Sales of home decorating fabrics, which had been on the upswing for several years, took an unexpected downturn at Hancock Fabrics, Inc., contributing to a quarter that saw overall sales down 2.5 percent, company executives said during a conference call earlier today.
"There were a number of bright spots in our product mix including quilting, active wear, crafting fabrics and embellishments, home accents and certain apparel groups. However, for the first time in many years, sales of home decorating fabrics declined, giving us perhaps the most revealing insight into today's reluctant consumer," said Larry Kirk, Hancock Fabrics CEO.
Contributing to the tough quarter, said Kirk, were the lingering financial effects felt from the company's move to a new distribution center here ($21 million cost), implementation of new point-of-sale technology in 382 stores ($3 million cost) and supply disruptions caused by clogged shipping and railways lines into the country.
"Despite the recent results, we believe very strongly in the growth prospects in home decorating, and our commitment to the (home decorating fabrics) category will only increase over time. In any case, we will adapt to changing conditions as necessary and spend most of our time and effort on utilizing the new distribution facility and store information systems to greater advantage," Kirk concluded.
Kirk said he was also optimistic about the soon-to-launch Laurie Smith lines. The designer/personality from TV's "Trading Spaces" was recently tapped to create exclusive product lines for Hancock's fabric and home decor stores. Those lines should appear in March, said Kirk.
Smith's product lines at Hancock will primarily be for home decorating and are intended to give customers ideas for apparel, quilting, purse-making and other creative projects. The first Laurie Smith products will join the Martha Pullen Collection, which is targeted at Pullen's following of sewing and quilting enthusiasts.
Kirk, who in October announced his intention to retire no later than October 2006, said the company will provide an update on its CEO search in December.
The company's third-quarter profit plunged 77 percent to $977,000, or 5 cents per share. Sales fell 3 percent to $109.9 million, with comps dropping 2.6 percent.

France - Paris
From: 2016.03.18 To: 2016.03.18
Paris, the cultural center of Europe, is awaiting hikers of all ages for an amazing walk in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Held in the beginning of spring, hikers have the chance to witness nature's awakening in the park. There are two circuits from which participants can choose. The second circuit crosses the jungle of modern times – the jungle of blocks. After experiencing the creations of nature, they can observe the works of men. A very interesting tour around the city, in which there is a lot to see and also it can be very challenging, as both circuits are more than 12km long. It's a great chance to refresh body and soul after a grey and chilly winter. It guarantees a unique way to experience Paris, even for those who are already familiar with the city.

Nanotech 2010 Vol. 1
Nanotechnology 2010: Advanced Materials, CNTs, Particles, Films and Composites
Chapter 2: Carbon Nano Structures & Devices | |
Electron irradiation induced stuructural changes in nickel nanorods encapsulated in carbon nanotubes | |
Authors: | N. Kulshrestha, K.S. Hazra, S. Roy, R. Bajpai, D.R. Mohapatra, D.S. Misra |
Affilation: | Indian Institute Of Technology Bombay, IN |
Pages: | 250 - 253 |
Keywords: | carbon nanotubes, Ni filled CNTs |
Abstract: | Nickel nanorods encapsulated inside the multiwalled carbon nanotubes were prepared using MPCVD technique. As prepared tubes encapsulating nickel were investigated by SEM, XRD and HRTEM. HRTEM study of these tubes exhibits long, good crystalline nickel filled CNTs with well-graphitized walls. It has been observed that the nickel filling inside might be single or poly crystalline having different orientations with respect to graphitic walls and the orientations get affected by the electrons accelerating voltages of 200 KeV. In some tubes, Ni planes were found to be parallel to the nanotube walls. It is new observation as in all the earlier reported works Ni planes are oriented at some angle with respect to nanotubes walls. We report that by deliberate e-irradiation at specific sites the crystalline planes of nickel change their orientation. In another observation we found that, owing to the combined effect of temperature and pressure conditions at the time of growth and e-irradiation during TEM imaging, nickel rod may come out from the tube by breaking the walls of the tube. Our results may provide insight for various phenomena related to the interaction of filling metal and nanotube walls. The so obtained CNTs with exposed metal at the tip of the tube may prove ideal for contact formation to study the electrical properties of these intriguing multiwalled structures. |

WASHINGTON, Wednesday —I had a most interesting tea party yesterday afternoon with the group of South American students who have been visiting in this country, and for whom Dr. Stephen Duggan made all the arrangements. The major part of their time has been spent at the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, and they seem to have derived a great deal of interest from their visit to this country.
Most of these young people spoke English and I felt ashamed all over again of my lack of ability to speak Spanish. In some cases, it was evidently an effort for these young people and those accompanying them, to express themselves. Still, they valiantly tackled our difficult language and said what they wanted to say.
I had arranged for tea and afterwards for a short meeting, at which we had an exhibition of work done by WPA and NYA agencies. The students showed great interest in the various things that were made on the art and production projects and seemed to appreciate the WPA quartette which played for us. I think I signed at least one card for every one of them before they left, so evidently the autograph habit is as prevalent in South America as it is here.
Last evening, a group of people, some of them from government departments, some of them from New York City, and a few from even further away, gathered here at dinner to discuss population trends in this country. So many interesting facts were brought out which had a bearing on our population, that it was finally decided to ask some of the representatives of government departments to get together and define the limits of the general problem we are facing in this country. Then people specially gifted in the art of putting this material in brief, but dramatic form, will find some way to make us all conscious of the facts which should be in our possession.
I went out early this morning and had my hair done, for one must at least leave on a journey prepared not to have to visit a beauty parlor for some time. Then I held a press conference at which I had hoped to have Dr. Harriet Elliott. There are a number of questions which the newspaper women wanted to ask her, but she has lost her voice, so we had to postpone her appearance until my return.
I also saw a gentleman this morning who is convinced that he knows how private capital can undertake to finance the home building on a large scale. Knowing absolutely nothing about financing or building, I hope I shall be able to direct him to someone better able to judge the values of his suggestions than I am.
I lunched with our old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Miller, and am now about to receive some young people from the Lawrenceville School of New Jersey.

October the 4th 2008 is a big day for my diary! It is the kickoff of the Volvo round the world ocean race. I was very very lucky to have a friend who invited me to see the launch of Ericssons 2008 bid (thanks Kerrin!) and the uncovering of "Ericsson 4"; their newest boat. Oh my God! What an amazing creation. It is designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian and built by Killian Bushe whom built the last (2005/2006) winner; ABN AMRO ONE. Here are some of the pictures:
I'm going to be watching this race closely. On the 14th June 2008 they get to Gothenberg and the 25th Stockholm so I will definately be here to blog about it then.
In theory you should be able to find out more about the boat and team at http://www.ericssonracingteam.... except the site is down. If you want to get some insight as too how they are built then there is a fantastic picture gallery at Killians' web site http://www.killianbushe.com/AB... ... Killian started with wooden boats so there is hope for me yet - I wonder if he has any apprentiship places available;)
The race is at http://www.volvooceanrace.com

Hush'd Be the Camps To-Day
Wikisource has original text related to this article: |
"Hush'd Be the Camps To-Day" is a poem by Walt Whitman dedicated to Abraham Lincoln. The poem was written on April 19, 1865, shortly after Lincoln's assassination. Whitman went on to write additional poetry about Lincoln: "O Captain! My Captain!", "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd", and "This Dust Was Once the Man."[1]

HUSH'D be the camps to-day;
And, soldiers, let us drape our war-worn weapons;
And each with musing soul retire, to celebrate,
Our dear commander's death.
No more for him life's stormy conflicts;
Nor victory, nor defeat--no more time's dark events,
Charging like ceaseless clouds across the sky.
But sing, poet, in our name;
Sing of the love we bore him--because you, dweller in camps, know it
As they invault the coffin there;
Sing--as they close the doors of earth upon him--one verse,
For the heavy hearts of soldiers.[2]
