34 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 22-35 within 20 miles
Here we go.
I am English and moved to the East Coast and now Los Angeles. I guess I have assimilated into LA at this point: to give you an idea, I have been doing hot yoga for the past 2 months which is not a particularly English pursuit...but I do still watch my favorite football (ie soccer) team. I am on this thing to expand the circle a bit beyond the people I know. Even though I love LA, I don't find it particularly great for meeting new people. Sometimes I yell one-liners to other cars at stop-lights but it's not a great strategy. I work in the film business which takes up a lot of time but overall it's worth it. I spend most of my time on cultural pursuits (I guess that's the pretentious way of saying watching TV and seeing movies) and having a nice meal with a nice drink.
Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Don't display my sign
The Food Court at the Beverly Center. Joking...
Marmite, 60 Minutes, Magazines, a well made sandwich, Arsenal, coffee, ipad, red wine
I love music - both playing and going to shows when I can find the time. Also been doing hot yoga. Went through a cooking phase but I've lost momentum on that (but still have the equipment). Going to the movies and exploring new parts of town.
Currently reading STEVE JOBS. I think I will probably be done this time next year.

The goal of the program is to explore the 325 gold zone at depth, which was never done by previous operators.The best drill results reported by AGATLabs of Mississauga, Ontario, are as follows: Hole M-13-98: 26.0 g/t Au over 5.7 m at a vertical depth of 280 m Hole M-13-99: 32.6 g/t Au over 6.0 m at a vertical depth of 170 mHole M-13-101: 48.9 g/t Au over 3.5 m at a vertical depth of 275 mThe full results for the current drilling program on the 325 zone are as follows: Hole (#)From (m)To (m)g/t AuLength (m)Depth (m)Section 1250 EM-13-94226.50231.8011.55.30187M-13-93244.35250.2033.65.85217M-13-95288.40295.6042.07.20278Section 1300 EM-13-96212.40215.601.223.20160M-13-97231.25231.756.340.50195M-13-98274.60280.3026.05.70280Section 1200 EM-13-99217.00223.0032.66.00170M-13-100232.80237.000.604.20200M-13-101281.50285.0048.93.50275David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold, stated that: "The news for TomaGold continues to be excellent. These new holes have now confirmed that the high-grade gold zone is open along strike on three drill sections 50 metres apart, as well as at depth. We will continue to test the zone along strike and at depth to assess the full potential of this new discovery. It is important to note that we are not constrained by weather conditions, and so will be able to drill on the 325 zone year-round. Furthermore, we have once again noted the presence of trace chalcopyrite and sphalerite and semi-massive pyrrhotite accompanied by intense black chlorite alteration, which suggests the proximity of a VMS-type environment, a potential indicator of gold-bearing massive sulphide deposits." The "Longitudinal map" is available at the following address: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Carte_longitudinale.pdfHoles M-13-96 to M-13-98 were drilled on Section 1300 E of the 325 zone, while Holes M-13-99 to M-13-101 lie on Section 1200 E, on the same 290° azimuth. Holes M-13-96 to M-13-98 and M-13-99 to M-13-101 were drilled at dips of -50°, -60° and -70°, respectively, so as to intersect the mineralized zone at vertical depths of 150 to 280 metres.It should be noted that the sheared tuff unit hosting the gold-bearing quartz vein was intersected at a 40-50° angle to the core axis, meaning that the width of the intersection is not necessarily the true width. Based on observations on surface in recent trenching and old holes drilled by SOQUEM and Stellar Pacific Ventures, the Company estimates the true width of the mineralized zone at 70 to 85% of the width intersected in the drill holes.The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Maurice Giroux, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.Sample Preparation and AnalysisThe NQ-diameter core is sawed in half, with one half kept as a witness sample and the other half shipped to the James Bay Joint Action Mining Committee in Chibougamau to be ground and pulverized. After primary grinding, the sample is quarter split, and one half is kept as a witness (reject) while the other half is sent for pulverization. The nominal weight of the pulverized pulp is 1,000 g unless the raw sample was less than 2 kg, in which case all of the pulp is sent to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario.AGATLabs (Mississauga, ON) takes a 50-g sample for processing by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. When values are higher than 10 g/t Au, gravity analysis is also done.About the Monster Lake ProjectThe Monster Lake property is located in northwestern Quebec, 44 kilometres southwest of the town of Chibougamau. It is easily accessible by road and near a major power line. Over 30,000 metres of diamond drilling has been done since 1984 along the four-kilometre mineralized corridor. During the winter of 2012, TomaGold drilled 16 additional holes for a total of 2,420 metres, and made a major discovery of 237.6 grams per tonne gold over 5.7 metres in Hole M-12-60. The mineralization is associated with dark quartz-sulphide veins within a shear zone 3-10 metres wide in basaltic units.About Quinto Real Capital CorporationQuinto Real Capital Corporation is a Canadian-based mining exploration company focused on the exploration, evaluation and development of gold mining properties with a view to commercial production. Quinto has an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Monster Lake gold property, located in the Chibougamau mining camp, in the province of Quebec.About TomaGold Corporation TomaGold Corporation is a Canadian-based mining exploration company whose primary mission is the acquisition, exploration and development of gold projects in Canada and abroad.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: ORNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

Photoelectrodes based on plasmonic Au semishell (or halfshell) arrays are developed. A colloidal crystal consisting of SiO2@TiO2 core-shell particles is prepared on a TiO2-coated transparent electrode. A Au semishell (or halfshell) array is deposited by sputtering or evaporation on the colloidal crystal. An electrode with the semishell (or halfshell) array exhibits negative photopotential shifts and anodic photocurrents under visible light at 500-800 nm wavelengths in an aqueous electrolyte containing an electron donor. In particular, hydroquinone and ethanol are good electron donors. The photocurrents can be explained in terms of plasmon-induced charge separation at the Au-TiO2 interface.
Semiconductor zinc sulphide (ZnS) has two common phases: hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc-blende structures. The crystal structures, energy band structures, density of states (DOS), bond populations, and optical properties of wurtzite and zinc-blende ZnS were investigated by the density functional theory of first-principles. The similar band gaps and DOS of wurtzite and zinc-blende ZnS were found and implied the similarities in crystal structures. However, the distortion of ZnS 4 tetrahedron in wurtzite ZnS resulted in the production of spontaneous polarization and internal electric field, which was beneficial for the transfer and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.
The Ni/NiOx particles were in situ photodeposited on MIL-101 metal organic frameworks as catalysts for boosting H2 generation from Erythrosin B dye sensitization under visible-light irradiation. The highest H2 production rate of 125 μmol h−1 was achieved from the system containing 5 wt. % Ni-loaded MIL-101 (20 mg) and 30 mg Erythrosin B dye. Moreover, the Ni/NiOx catalysts show excellent stability for long-term photocatalytic reaction. The enhancement on H2 generation is attributed to the efficient charge transfer from photoexcited dye to the Ni catalyst via MIL-101. Our results demonstrate that the economical Ni/NiOx particles are durable and active catalysts for photocatalytic H2 generation.
In-situ vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the photocatalytic oxidation of two types of well-ordered organic monolayers, namely, an arachidic acid (AA) monolayer prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett method and an octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) monolayer prepared by the self-assembling method, on a TiO2 surface under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The extremely high sensitivity and unique selectivity of the SFG spectroscopy enabled us to directly probe the structural changes in these monolayers during the surface photocatalytic oxidation and further elucidate their reaction mechanisms at a molecular level. It was revealed that the ordering of the monolayers during the photocatalytic reaction is strongly dependent on their interaction with the substrate; the AA monolayer maintains its ordered conformation until the final oxidation stage, while the OTS monolayer shows a large increase in disordering during the initial oxidation stage, indicating a different photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the two monolayers on the TiO2 surface.
A reaction environment modulation strategy was employed to promote the H2 production over plasmonic Au/semiconductor composites. It is shown that the fast consumption of the holes in plasmonic Au nanoparticles by methanol in alkaline reaction environment remarkably increases H2 generation rate under visible light. The photocatalytic reaction is mainly driven by the interband transition of plasmonic Au nanoparticles, and the apparent quantum efficiency of plasmon-assisted H2 production at pH 14 reaches 6% at 420 nm. The reaction environment control provides a simple and effective way for the highly efficient solar fuel production from biomass reforming through plasmonic photocatalysis in future.

A new bimetallic plasmonic photocatalyst consisting of gold(core)-copper(shell) nanoparticle and titanium(IV) oxide supportView Description Hide Description
Ultrathin Cu layers (∼2 atomic layers) have been selectively formed on the Au surfaces of Au nanoparticle-loaded rutile TiO2 (Au@Cu/TiO2) by a deposition precipitation-photodeposition technique. Cyclic voltammetry and photochronopotentiometry measurements indicate that the reaction proceeds via the underpotential deposition. The ultrathin Cu shell drastically increases the activity of Au/TiO2 for the selective oxidation of amines to the corresponding aldehydes under visible-light irradiation (λ > 430 nm). Photochronoamperometry measurements strongly suggest that the striking Cu shell effect stems from the enhancement of the charge separation in the localized surface plasmon resonance-excited Au/TiO2.oa
Effect of post-treatment on photocatalytic oxidation activity of (111) oriented NaNbO3 filmView Description Hide Description
We investigate the impact of post-treatment on photocatalytic oxidation activity of (111) oriented NaNbO3 film prepared by pulse laser deposition. Some impurities such as Na 2 Nb 4O11 and bigger particles appear in the treated samples. The activity of rhodamine B degradation with N2 purge increases with the amount of ⋅OH, the sample treated under H2/Ar(7%) being the highest activity, followed by under air and untreated one; the opposite trend is observed when the system was without N2 purge.oa
Group III-nitride nanowire structures for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiationView Description Hide Description
The performance of photochemical water splitting over the emerging nanostructured photocatalysts is often constrained by their surface electronic properties, which can lead to imbalance in redox reactions, reduced efficiency, and poor stability. We have investigated the impact of surface charge properties on the photocatalytic activity of InGaN nanowires. By optimizing the surface charge properties through controlled p-type dopant (Mg) incorporation, we have demonstrated an apparent quantum efficiency of ∼17.1% and ∼12.3% for InGaN nanowire arrays under visible light irradiation (400 nm–490 nm) in aqueous methanol and in the overall neutral-pH water splitting reaction, respectively.oa
Visible-light active thin-film WO3 photocatalyst with controlled high-rate deposition by low-damage reactive-gas-flow sputteringView Description Hide Description
A process based on reactive gas flow sputtering (GFS) for depositing visible-light active photocatalytic WO3 films at high deposition rates and with high film quality was successfully demonstrated. The deposition rate for this process was over 10 times higher than that achieved by the conventional sputtering process and the process was highly stable. Furthermore, Pt nanoparticle-loaded WO3 films deposited by the GFS process exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than those deposited by conventional sputtering, where the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the extent of decomposition of CH3CHO under visible light irradiation. The decomposition time for 60 ppm of CH3CHO was 7.5 times more rapid on the films deposited by the GFS process than on the films deposited by the conventional process. During GFS deposition, there are no high-energy particles bombarding the growing film surface, whereas the bombardment of the surface with high-energy particles is a key feature of conventional sputtering. Hence, the WO3 films deposited by GFS should be of higher quality, with fewer structural defects, which would lead to a decrease in the number of centers for electron-hole recombination and to the efficient use of photogenerated holes for the decomposition of CH3CHO.oa

Effects of cation concentration on photocatalytic performance over magnesium vanadatesView Description Hide Description
A series of magnesium vanadates (MgV 2O6, Mg 2V 2O7, and Mg 3V 2O8) were synthesized to investigate the effect of cation concentration on photocatalytic performance. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The photocatalytic O2 evolution experiments under visible light irradiation showed Mg 2V 2O7 exhibits the best performance, while Mg 3V 2O8 has the lowest activity. The density functional theory calculations indicated that the lowest unoccupied states of Mg 3V 2O8 are the mostly localized by the cation layers. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay curves gave evident performances of excited states of magnesium vanadates and pointed out MgV 2O6 has a very short excited electron lift-time. Mg 2V 2O7 performs high photocatalytic activity because of its high electron mobility and long electron life-time.oa

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Meet the new look, same as the old look.
Notre Dame unveiled its first Under Armour home and away football uniforms Tuesday morning, with the Baltimore-based company changing very little in the first year of a 10-year deal struck in January.
[SHOP: Notre Dame gear]
The uniforms were released on Twitter, with the team's one-off Shamrock Series outfit to be revealed later on Tuesday.

— Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) August 19, 2014
Other than the switch from an Adidas to Under Armour logo -- which moves from being centered above the numbers to the near the collar of the jersey -- and the removal of Adidas' tire tread look around the collar, there's nothing different about the look from years past. It's not surprising Under Armour went conservative in its first year outfitting the Irish, given some fears from fans the company known for some interesting uniforms would alter the classic Notre Dame look.

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
When Harvard M.B.A.s head to Wall Street, as they appear to be doing in droves this year, it's time for investors to run the other way.
So says Ray Soifer, a former bank analyst with Brown Brothers Harriman who has been compiling his Harvard M.B.A. Indicator for more than 20 years.
The indicator holds that when more than 30% of graduates of the Harvard Business School take jobs related to the markets, including sales and trading, hedge funds, investment banking and private equity, the stock market is headed for a downturn. Conversely, when only 10% of the graduates end up on Wall Street, it suggests a buying opportunity for investors.
Bad Marks: An indicator based on preliminary data from the Harvard Business School is flashing a sell signal on equities. William Waitzman for Barron's
Preliminary business-school data show that 37% to 38% of this year's graduating class have accepted market-sensitive jobs, rising from 31% or 32% last year. The indicator is still below the record 41% achieved in 2008, a very good year to have been short the stock market. The sell signal also predicted correctly market downturns in 1987 and 2000-2002, and it flashed a long-term "sell'' from 2005 to 2008.
The thesis seems to have been confirmed by several events already: Bank of America's announced plans to lay off 30,000 workers in its consumer business in the next three years, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index trading in negative territory so far this year and George Soros' retirement.
Perhaps one of the indicator's most instructive insights is that much of its rise from last year came from private-equity hiring. Carlyle IPO, anyone?

John and Andrew Jackson House, 1847/1863
603 West Liberty Street
John and Andrew Jackson House, 1847/1863
John and Andrew Jackson wasted no time in purchasing this lot from William S. Maynard after he platted the land and added it to the City of Ann Arbor in 1846. It is likely they built the Liberty Street portion of this house sometime in the fall of 1847, for, when they sold the property eight years later in 1855, they tripled their money.
The south wing, which appears on the 1866 "birds-eye" view was probably added by laborer John M. Weitbrecht, who purchased the property in 1862. The Weitbrecht family occupied this corner until the turn of the century. The estate sold the property to John and Lydia Kuehnle (she may have been Weitbrecht's daughter) for $1400 in 1898 and it remained a single family house throughout the 20th century. By the 1930s it also had a commercial use. The rear portion facing Fourth Street housed the Lunsford Bakery, famous for its cinnamon rolls, from 1935 to 1970.
The main part of the house, which is clapboard, is the New England folk form known as an "I" house: two stories high, two rooms wide, one room deep, with a central hallway. The fieldstone foundation of this portion is much lower than the brick foundation of the south wing, where the land slopes away from the house. This rear section also has a central entry, but is only one story high. The four-over-four windows in the wing appear to be original as does the glass.
William and Susan Johnson, the present owners, restored the exterior by removing the asphalt siding and corrugated canopy that had hidden the classical front doorway and original clapboards. Today the Johnsons are extending the south wing and the house remains a fine example of the vernacular type of house built in the Old West Side up to the Civil War.
