RMs join in opposition to amalgamation plan
Claim move is too hasty, details are lacking
DOZENS of small rural municipalities throughout the province are lining up to oppose the Selinger government's attempt to force them to amalgamate with their bigger neighbours.
Some fear a loss of local identity, some fear the erosion of local programming and some fear the end of local control.
The issue, which has dominated the agendas of local governments since September, has also forced a meeting today between the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) and Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux. The AMM wants the NDP to be more flexible in its amalgamation plan.
"What's the push here?" AMM president Doug Dobrowolski said Monday. "Are they deflecting from the real problems of the province? Our fiscal reality? Get everybody to talk about amalgamation and let's forget about what else is going on?"
AMM and municipal leaders across the province have condemned the NDP's shotgun-wedding approach for as many as 92 small municipalities and towns under 1,000 population to merge with their larger neighbours before the 2014 municipal elections.
"They want us to pick out our tuxedo and who our bridesmaids are going to be and who the best man is going to be," Binscarth Mayor Dale Sawchuk said Monday. "But the problem is there are no answers to anything. We don't like things being forced on us."
Binscarth council sent a letter to Lemieux Jan. 16 saying it was not willing to amalgamate with its neighbours, including the RM of Russell, and that it would not attend any meeting with the province on it.
Sawchuk and other municipal leaders also say that as first proposed by the province, amalgamation would be voluntary. But that changed in the past few months when Lemieux's office set a Jan. 31 deadline for small municipalities to submit their plans for merging. Sawchuk and others said that deadline is too rushed and that the province hasn't supplied enough information.
"What happens if a town has debt?" he said. "Who accumulates that debt? If a town has reserve money built up, who gets that reserve money?"
The Village of Dunnottar on Lake Winnipeg opposes amalgamation with its bigger neighbour to the south, the RM of St. Andrews, Mayor Rick Gamble said. Like Victoria Beach across the lake, Gamble said Dunnottar doesn't believe amalgamation would serve full-time and summer residents.
"Our needs are somewhat different," Gamble said. "We're more a resort community."
In southern Manitoba, 35 of 37 municipalities that attended a recent meeting in Hartney agreed to sign a letter to Lemieux saying his amalgamation plan is ill-conceived and too rushed.
"For so many municipalities in such a short period of time, it's just going to create chaos," Gamble said.
Lemieux has said his department will work with municipalities to get through the kinks. His department has also agreed to meet with reeves and councillors at AMM meetings in March.
But Dobrowolski said that's not good enough.
"We're very disappointed in the way they're executing the plan," Dobrowolski said -- the province should first deal with those municipalities that want to amalgamate.
"Just give us some time here," he said. "Don't push it.
"And more importantly, there are more important issues to be dealing with than amalgamation. We've got an infrastructure deficit. We've got planning issues. We've got all kinds of things we should be talking about and not amalgamation. Amalgamation to me will happen naturally amongst those that see fit to do that."
Enforcing long-standing law
MANITOBA has 196 municipalities, 92 of which do not meet the legal threshold of 1,000 persons.
A law setting 1,000 as the minimum population for a municipality has been in place since 1997, but it's never been enforced.
The province says smaller municipalities aren't big enough to apply successfully for provincial and federal infrastructure funding. Many also have had difficulty completing required financial audits on time, delaying access to gas-tax revenues. About $14 million in gas-tax dollars sits in a federal pot because small municipalities have not filed the needed paperwork to collect it.
The province has also said 61 per cent of smaller municipalities spend more than 20 per cent of their budgets on general government administration.

Her name may be Sunny with a light gold and white coat, but her prospects for adoption have not been bright. She has twice left the shelter for a new home, and then been returned. Newtown Animal Control Board Chair Adria Henderson described the 4-year old dog as "beautiful, gentle, well mannered." Sunny was among the first arrivals at the Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center when it opened two summers ago. She lives up to her name until her owners leave her home alone, said Ms Henderson. Hoping to help the "loving, gentle girl," Ms Henderson, local animal proponents, and the animal control staff have been working to reduce Sunny's anxiety.
Newtown, from a cat's point of view.
A look back at Newtown 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago.
As soon as residents cleared snow from walkways, streets, and lots that blanketed the town on Monday, the sky opened up again. Wednesday morning brought a second round of path and driveway clearing, as between six and nine inches of snow topped Monday's precipitation. By early afternoon Wednesday, the blustery white flakes turned into rain.
School was canceled twice this week, and public works crews and private contractors alike put in plenty of overtime. Monday's storm arrived around 5 am and continued very steadily until early evening.
Town employees reported to work by 4 am, and were on the roads within the hour.
"We anticipated that the snows would be starting shortly after 5, which they did, and we were trying to get a jump on the rush hour," said Mr Hurley. The hour before the snow started, he said, "gave them time to get their trucks ready, with sand and salt. "When the snow started, we were already out there sanding hills, bridges and intersections," said Mr Hurley.
A weekly profile of a local resident.
They are not ready to pack the house yet, but Newtown youth involved in the Parks & Recreation sponsored "Theatre On Your Feet" program since its inception in January 2013 are developing theater skills that segue into real life, said program instructor Theresa Talluto. Using only a few props, their imaginations, and a shared sense of creativity, students recently taking part in the first class of the winter session of Theatre On Your Feet flowed from one theatrical exercise to another, under Ms Talluto's guidance. Despite a biting cold winter evening that has depleted the class size that night, Ms Talluto was able to come up with fast moving improvisations that worked with the small group, smoothly integrating new students with those who have taken multiple sessions.
A corkscrew hazelnut sits outside the back door in its winter glory. All the other plants and shrubs are looking pretty chastened, deceased even, awaiting their Easter resurrections. But this jaggedy hazelnut cuts a fine figure against the snow, having long-since jettisoned its drab, unkempt cover of leaves. Its electric personality is now fully exposed in its branches with all the manic excitement of a Kramer, a Harpo Marx, a Harry Lauder.
Oh? Never heard of Harry Lauder? Don't worry. Almost no one has. The Scottish comedian/entertainer died in 1950, and the memory of him has faded — except for his funny, crooked walking stick. The fame of Sir Harry's odd and ever-present stick has been secured, among horticulturists anyway, by the corkscrew hazelnut, which is known in most garden centers and catalogs as Harry Lauder's Walking Stick.

Published: Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 3:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 3:35 p.m.
OCALA - Sheriff's detectives on Wednesday released surveillance video images of a man they are looking for in connection with the theft of a cellphone valued at $650.

After conducting inventory, store officials discovered the expensive phone was missing and called law enforcement.
Officials released the video images hoping someone will be to identify the man.
Anyone with information about the man's whereabouts can call Detective Gregory Spicher of the Marion County Sheriff's Office at 402-6060 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

Characters: Terra Nova
This is a list of characters in Terra Nova.
open/close all folders
Shannon Family
Jim Shannon
Played By: Jason O'Mara
- Badass
- Berserk Button: Don't touch his kids. Or his wife.
- Cowboy Cop: Though oddly enough, Da Chief is still cowboy enough himself to rather appreciate it. Though as far as Terra Nova and Taylor is concerned, he's basically the -only- cop in town. Everyone else is technically part of the security force.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Prison, in this case.
- Happily Married
- Overprotective Dad: Jim has shown signs of this towards his daughter's dating life.
- Papa Wolf: Don't mess with his kids. Ever.
- A great example happens in the finale. Josh has gotten himself into trouble protecting Skye from Lucas, and is currently being beaten by Phoenix soldiers. Skye tells Jim. Cut to a few minutes later, where Jim brains Lucas with a cane and beats the crap out of every soldier that tries to restrain him. They had to hold him at gunpoint to end it.
- Rags to Riches: Sort of. Jim goes from being an escape convict in the first episode to pretty much Taylor's right hand man and at one point temporary Commanding Officer of Terra Nova.
- Troll: Though he clearly doesn't have a problem with Reynolds dating his daughter, he seems to enjoy messing with Reynolds since he's always so serious.
Elizabeth Shannon
Played By: Shelley Conn
- Absurdly Youthful Mother
- Ambiguously Brown
- Guile Heroine
- Hospital Hottie
- Hot Scientist: Though she dresses reasonably, is married, and has children.
- Mama Bear: Up until the season finale, she's simply an amazing mother, a brilliant scientist and an incredibly-gifted doctor. But when her son and husband are captured and tortured, she takes merely thirty seconds to out-badass almost every other character to appear in the first season. And how.
Josh Shannon
Played By: Landon Liboiron
- Distracted by the Sexy: Generally, if Skye is going somewhere or doing something, you can bet he's easily persuaded into going along.
- The Load: More so in the pilot episode.
- Rebellious Spirit: Ranging from the Deadpan Snarker variety to occasional Jerkass.
- Too Dumb to Live
- Took a Level in Badass: In the season finale.
Maddy Shannon
Played By: Naomi Scott
- Adorkable
- Ambiguously Brown
- Book Worm
- Girl Next Door
- Girlish Pigtails: Shown in the season one premier, in order to make her seem older after the Time Skip.
- Hollywood Nerd: Of the Type 2 variety.
- Moment Killer
- Miss Exposition
Zoe Shannon
Played By: Alana Mansour
Terra Nova Residents
Commander Nathaniel Taylor
Played By: Stephen Lang
- A Father To His Time-Travelling Community
- Asskicking Equals Authority
- Badass
- Big Good
- Cool Old Guy
- Dark and Troubled Past: Mind Raped by Somalian and Russo-Chinese terrorists not the worst thing he went through before signing up for the Terra Nova project, and there are still lots of folks on the other side who are out for his blood. This includes his own son who has hated him ever since he failed to save his mother in Somalia when he was a teenager.
- Fingerless Gloves
- My Greatest Failure: Taylor couldn't save his wife in Somalia which to his son Lucas's hatred of him along with his Start of Darkness.
- Parental Substitute: to Skye.
- Reynolds as well. He's apparently been giving him dating advice.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Sometimes. Other times (as in the end of the murder mystery ep) he's more Screw the Rules, I Make Them!.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right
- Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Taylor killed his commanding officer when he arrived in alternate past earth to relieve him of command of the Terra Nova colony shortly after he learned the truth about the project. That those behind Terra Nova are trying to find out how to make the portal go both ways so they can exploit the resources on the Terra Nova side.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: It's becoming clearer as the series progresses that will do just about anything to protect his vision of Terra Nova's future. Including killing his friend and former commander. Although it was self defense. And they were trying to loot Terra Nova too so...
Played By: Allison Miller
- Action Girl
- High Heel-Face Turn
- I Have Your Wife: The Sixers are forcing her cooperation through exclusive access to the cure for her mother's condition.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: More recently, she's starting to help Josh find a way to bring his 2149-era girlfriend to Terra Nova.
- The Mole
- Ms. Fanservice
- Punch Clock Villain
Played By: Milo Hamada
- Fingerless Gloves
- Papa Wolf: To his idiot kid, Tasha.
Lieutenant Alicia Washington
Played By: Simone Kessell
- Action Girl
- Badass
- Combat Medic: Who served in an enormous mess in Somalia before a nasty hit took her out of action. Still manages to kick loads of ass.
- Defiant to the End: She pretty much says "screw you" before Lucas killed her.
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Hyper Competent Sidekick: Not that Taylor needs a super awesome sidekick ... but he damn well has one.
- Killed Off for Real
- Noodle Incident: Plenty between her and Taylor. Also somewhat justifies her low rank since it seems she's unwilling to outrank Taylor due to respect and camaraderie.
- The Lancer: To Commander Taylor.
- Subordinate Excuse: Strongly implied towards Taylor.
- YMMV. She and Taylor are very much like Jurgen and Cain. Unless you'd say there was Ho Yay between those two ...
- Vasquez Always Dies
Mark Reynolds
Played By: Dean Geyer
- Meet Cute: When first running into Maddy.
- Officer and a Gentleman: Though he's not an officer, he is excruciatingly, even old-fashionedly polite to Maddy and her parents when it comes to intimacy issues."I would like to declare my intentions toward your daughter."
- Satellite Love Interest: To Maddy. What exactly do we know about this guy?
- He did volunteer to take over guard duty for the Shannons' house when the pterodactyls were swarming the colony. He got knocked unconscious for his efforts, but he was certainly more competent at it than the three Shannon siblings at any rate.Jim (to Maddy): That's how you know a boy likes you.
- He did volunteer to take over guard duty for the Shannons' house when the pterodactyls were swarming the colony. He got knocked unconscious for his efforts, but he was certainly more competent at it than the three Shannon siblings at any rate.
Malcolm Wallace
Played By: Rod Hallett
- Deadpan Snarker
- Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Might come with his job of Chief Science Officer.
- Working with the Ex
Tom Boylan
Played By: Damien Garvey
- Affably Evil: Though he's more jerkass than evil.
- The Bartender
- Deadpan Snarker
- Jerkass/Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- The Mole: To a limited extent. He does business with the Sixers, but it's clear there's someone else in the camp that's actively betraying the colony.
- Noodle Incident: At least to anyone that isn't Boylan, Taylor, or Jim, why Taylor tolerates Boylan (and conversely, why Boylan is ultimately loyal to Terra Nova and will help Taylor). Ironically, said Noodle Incident is also seemingly responsible for his current state as Taylor had to bribe him to prevent him from being a good soldier and reporting Taylor's murder.
Played By: Christine Adams
- Anti-Villain
- I Have Your Wife: Her backers in the future are holding her daughter in order to ensure her cooperation. Interestingly, this is a tactic that she herself is not above using.
- Kick the Dog: Blackmailing a Sixer child into spying for her by threatening to hurt her brother.
- Pet the Dog: When that falls through, however, she admits she was bluffing and lets the hostage rejoin his sister in the far more salubrious neighbourhood that is Terra Nova, no strings attached.
- Punch Clock Villain
- Rebel Leader
The Phoenix Group
Lucas Taylor
- Antagonistic Offspring
- Bad Boss
- Big Bad
- Brother-Sister Incest: Okay, so Skye may not technically be blood-related, but Lucas takes her treatment of his father as a father-figure as being enough to make them brother and sister. And then proceeds to come on to her in an extremely creepy fashion.
- Jerkass
- Made of Iron
- Man Behind the Man: The Sixers work for him by proxy.
- Freudian Excuse: The reason he hates his father so much is because he failed to save his mother in Somalia when he was fourteen years old. The finale reveals that they were captured by rebels and Taylor had to choose between them to decide who lived. He picked Lucas. Lucas not only believes he should have died, but that Taylor blames him for it.
- Large Ham
- Not Quite Dead: Skye shoots him twice in the chest. In the couple of minutes she and Taylor stop paying attention to him, he's vanished.
- Psychotic Man Child: Why is he so eager to help destroy mankind's last hope for survival? To spite his father, that's why.
- Psychotic Smirk: Often.
- Self-Made Orphan: He really wants to do this. Comes pretty close, too.
- Too Kinky to Torture: Skye considers trying to beat the ignition code for a vehicle out of Lucas, but believes he would enjoy it.
- Villainous Incest: Towards Skye. They're not actually related (Taylor is a father figure to her rather than her actual father), but he refers to her as a sister nonetheless. This doesn't stop him from constantly touching her affectionately flirting with her.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: In the season finale, it was revealed that Somalia was, in Lucas' mind, simply the last straw in what had been a childhood/early adolescence where he was on the receiving in of his father's disappointment/disapproval. Considering what a total brat he is, one should take this with a grain of salt.
- Big Bad Duumvirate
- Establishing Character Moment: Shooting a Brachiosaur while it was having lunch. Unprovoked.
- Jerkass
- Karmic Death: Shoots a harmless dinosaur, gets eaten by a not-so-harmless dinosaur.
- Smug Snake

I have this generic container of values:
open System
type Envelope<'a> = {
Id : Guid
ConversationId : Guid
Created : DateTimeOffset
Item : 'a }
I would like to be able to use Pattern Matching on the
Item, while still retaining the envelope values.
Ideally, I would like to be able to do something like this:
let format x =
match x with
| Envelope (CaseA x) -> // x would be Envelope<RecA>
| Envelope (CaseB x) -> // x would be Envelope<RecB>
However, this doesn't work, so I wonder if there's a way to do something like this?
Further details
Assume that I have these types:
type RecA = { Text : string; Number : int }
type RecB = { Text : string; Version : Version }
type MyDU = | CaseA of RecA | CaseB of RecB
I would like to be able to declare values of the type
Envelope<MyDU> and still be able to match on the contained
Perhaps this is going off on the wrong tangent, but I first attempted with a mapping function for envelopes:
let mapEnvelope f x =
let y = f x.Item
{ Id = x.Id; ConversationId = x.ConversationId; Created = x.Created; Item = y }
This function has the signature
('a -> 'b) -> Envelope<'a> -> Envelope<'b>, so that looks like something we've seen before.
This enables me to define this Partial Active Pattern:
let (|Envelope|_|) (|ItemPattern|_|) x =
match x.Item with
| ItemPattern y -> x |> mapEnvelope (fun _ -> y) |> Some
| _ -> None
and these auxiliary Partial Active Patterns:
let (|CaseA|_|) = function | CaseA x -> x |> Some | _ -> None
let (|CaseB|_|) = function | CaseB x -> x |> Some | _ -> None
With these building blocks, I can write a function like this one:
let formatA (x : Envelope<RecA>) = sprintf "%O: %s: %O" x.Id x.Item.Text x.Item.Number
let formatB (x : Envelope<RecB>) = sprintf "%O: %s: %O" x.Id x.Item.Text x.Item.Version
let format x =
match x with
| Envelope (|CaseA|_|) y -> y |> formatA
| Envelope (|CaseB|_|) y -> y |> formatB
| _ -> ""
Notice that in the first case,
x is an
Envelope<RecA>, which you can see because it's possible to read the value off
x.Item.Number. Similarly, in the second case,
x is
Also notice that each case requires access to
x.Id from the envelope, which is the reason why I can't just match on
x.Item to begin with.
This works, but has the following drawbacks:
- I need to define a Partial Active Pattern like
(|CaseA|_|)in order to decompose
CaseA, even though there's already a built-in pattern for that.
- Even though I have a Discriminated Union, the compiler can't tell me if I've forgotten a case, because each of the patterns are Partial Active Patterns.
Is there a better way?

The Janson Command is a literary fiction novella filled with suspense and thrill by American writer Robert Ludlum, and describes how the ex-Navy protagonist, Paul Janson, goes about solving his new mission.
Summary Of The Book
This book has been published as a sequel to Robert Ludlum's initial novel on this series called The Janson Directive, featuring Paul Janson in the central role. He is described to be an ex-Navy SEAL and an erstwhile representative of a U.S. government secret association called Consular Operations. He is shown to be preoccupied by his memories of the Vietnam War.
In this sequel, Paul Janson is shown to abandon his past life filled with murders and international conspiracy. He is occupied with a new mission and has a new partner. Joining hands with agile sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he assists other disillusioned secret agents in re-adapting and starting new lives. He also takes on autonomous missions, but confirms only if he thinks they will help the society in the wider picture.
In this book, Janson accepts the mission to save a doctor who has been abducted by West African rebels during an attack of an American oil service boat. Initially, it seems that the doctor's life was refrained from any harm so as to give attention to the rebels' wounded supremo, Ferdinand Poe. But when the mission ceases to function properly, Janson understands that he is now involved with a much bigger plot. The puppet dictator has unidentified helpers on the oil reserves of this scrambling country and Janson finds himself in this strange dilemma where he is unable to comprehend whether he has been putting his energy for the wrong group.
About Robert Ludlum
Robert Ludlum was a very popular American novelist and author. He has created a few of his works under various pseudonyms like Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd.
Apart from this novel, Ludlum is reputed for the creation of many more novels such as The Cry Of The Halidon, The Road To Gandolfo, and The Chancellor Manuscript. Ludlum is mainly seen to follow plots based on the themes of spy fiction, mystery and action thrillers.
Plots in Ludlum's work generally comprise one heroic individual, or a small association of exerting persons, in a battle against influential opponents with selfish and self-centered interests and desires. These adversaries are seen to be strong enough to put into use political and economic influence by horrifying means. The plots in his novels typically incorporate global associations, covert military personnel and government organizations, committed to preserve their state of affairs if they are vicious, or weaken them if they are not. Ludlum's novels are occasionally intensified by conspiracy theories, be it ancient or modern.
He received his education at The Rectory School then went to Cheshire Academy and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Before he made his name as an author, he had served in an array of posts like a United States Marine, theatrical actor and producer. Many of Ludlum's works have been adapted into movies and miniseries.

Jason commandA good book which continues ludlum's characters, but lacks Ludlum's suspense, thrills and finish. Nice read though.
Prashanth Vaidyan
Feb 1, 2013
A fast paced readRobert Ludlum's 'The Janson Command' is a fast paced read. However, after having completed the book, I feel it could have been construed much better. An expectation from a Ludlum series is to be a thriller right from the start. There is an initial drag and the reader will have to take a good effort to complete the book.
May 3, 2012
The Janson CommandIt an average book if you compare with The Janson Directive. Not worth for the price. Really disappointed with this. Hope when people use the Robert Ludlum's name they strive for the standard. Nothing is worse than inaccurate information. If you're not really sure or read this book please read and write review.
Apr 17, 2012
Heart Pounding suspense from Paul Garrison on Bob Ludlum's Paul JansonAs usual delivery by Flipkart was good. Got the book in time before my journey. The inner tribulation of the lead "The Machine" (Janson) is so delicately explained which gives you actual insight of this fictitious character. the writing style is at its best and one continuous stretch imaginative perfection. Janson is better than from his last adventure "The Janson Directive" along with his new found partner Jessica Kincaid the deadliest sniper..Great read.. Recommend this for people who love espionage,spying and thrillers

Numerical Methods that Work
Mathematical Association of America, Jan 1, 1990 - Mathematics - 549 pages
Numerical Methods that Work, originally published in 1970, has been reissued by the MAA with a new preface and some additional problems. Acton deals with a commonsense approach to numerical algorithms for the solution of equations: algebraic, transcendental, and differential. He assumes that a computer is available for performing the bulk of the arithmetic. The book is divided into two parts, either of which could form the basis of a one-semester course in numerical methods. Part I discusses most of the standard techniques: roots of transcendental equations, roots of polynomials, eigenvalues of symmetric matrices, and so on. Part II cuts across the basic tools, stressing such commonplace problems as extrapolation, removal of singularities, and loss of significant figures. The book is written with clarity and precision, intended for practical rather than theoretical use. This book will interest mathematicians, both pure and applied, as well as any scientist or engineer working with numerical problems.

Bacitracin-Conjugated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity
ABSTRACT Bacitracin-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe(3) O(4) ) nanoparticles were prepared by click chemistry and their antibacterial activity was investigated. After functionalization with hydrophilic and biocompatible poly(acrylic acid), water-soluble Fe(3) O(4) nanoparticles were obtained. Propargylated Fe(3) O(4) nanoparticles were then synthesized by carbodiimide reaction of propargylamine with the carboxyl groups on the surface of the iron oxide nanoparticles. By further reaction with N(3) -bacitracin in a Cu(I) -catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, the magnetic Fe(3) O(4) nanoparticles were modified with the peptide bacitracin. The functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TEM, zeta-potential analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and vibrating-sample magnetometry. Cell cytotoxicity tests indicate that bacitracin-conjugated Fe(3) O(4) nanoparticles show very low cytotoxicity to human fibroblast cells, even at relatively high concentrations. In view of the antibacterial activity of bacitracin, the biofunctionalized Fe(3) O(4) nanoparticles exhibit an antibacterial effect against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, which is even higher than that of bacitracin itself. The enhanced antibacterial activity of the magnetic nanocomposites allows the dosage and the side effects of the antibiotic to be reduced. Due to the antibacterial effect and magnetism, the bacitracin-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have potential application in magnetic-targeting biomedical applications.

ABSTRACT: New magnetic core shell nanoparticles were synthesized consisting of magnetite cores and poly-(O-propargyl acrylate) shells. Strong fixing of the shells was achieved by primary anchoring phosphates or α-dihydroxydiphosphonates containing acrylate or methacrylate functionalities. The magnetic nanoparticles are attractive as supports for a variety of function which can be easily introduced by Cu-catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC, a click reaction). In this way, also the loading of the magnetic nanoparticles with propargyl units was determined by reaction with 4-azidoacetophenone and analysis of the supernatant. In order to demonstrate the attractiveness of the magnetic nanoparticles a novel azido-containing conjugate with biotin as recognition function and dansyl as fluorescence marker was introduced by CuAAC reaction. All NP show superparamagnetic behavior with high-saturation magnetization values and were further characterized by FTIR, photoelectron spectroscopy and TEM.Journal of Nanoparticle Research 06/2013; 15(6).

Trying to define what you like and don't about a lens is so subjective that it becomes an impossible task to recommend anything.
What one person finds sharp another will find lacking or too harsh. And it's because we all want something different. It's why we shoot different cameras, different formats and different types of film ... if you shoot film.
Perhaps, you're dissatisfied with your photos.
I can tell you some things that generally are true.
- Most "portrait" lenses in the 75mm-135mm are plenty sharp.
- Women do not want to be photographed in hi-def ... ever.
- Cameras that seem less intimidating can be better tools for portrait work when photographing people who aren't used to being photographed. That's why a TLR can be a nice portrait camera. They are very non-threatening, and people relax.
- Cameras that take many shots in a sequence make most people tense.
- The best portrait lens is both sharp and soft at the same time.
My favorite lens (in 35mm format) for people is an 85mm Sonnar in Rolleiflex QBM. My second favorite is a Tessar at f/8 for medium format.

sorry guys but this video isn't a great tutorial, however, it's basic and to the point.
Hardware parts found at Home Depot. Traxxas 1651 on ebay and skateboard bearings ( 8x22x7 mm) ebay. You can substitute the pvc handle and just buy a jump rope because the handles already have the bearing inside and it comes with the soft foam grip.
Youtube link on setting up the gimbal from another youtuber: youtube.com/watch?v=NdD_mlY8zz0
Hope the video helps you guys.
Silver Flyer DSLR Stabilizer by Jorge
Traxxas 1651 traxxas.com/support/How-install-u-joints
2 3/4" x 90 Electric Metal Tubes (L-shaped)
5 3/4" Set Screw Couplers
1 Skateboard Bearing
1 Female PVC adapter
1 PVC Pipe
OR Skipping Rope handle with bearing
5/16 and 1/4 drill bits
1 x 5/16" Hex Bolt
2 x 14" and nuts
Plenty of washers... big ones. Optional: Quick release plate - Manfrotto 577 or 2 way Fotomate macro cross slider under $15 dollars. If you are using a 5d or 7d, I HIGHLY suggest you get the macro cross slider too!
When drilling, one set of holes will be 1/4, while the second set for the handle is going to be a bit different.
The top is 5/16, but the bottom is going to have be bigger than the 5/16 to fit the Traxxas. I used the next step up drill bit and still had to bore the hole with another bit to get it wide enough.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

From my commute to work, shoe shiner named Larry Moore. Very nice guy.
Update: 03/24/09 - met Larry officially today on my way back to my office. He had this picture printed out! I was really excited. He wasn't happy with the comments left, but agrees that thus is life and what people are all talking about currently.
Please see an article written about him recently in SFGate:
Update: 3/24/2009 evening - Added pictures to a new comment below of when I met Larry today
nice...and very polisch...
yeah, only on a (great) photo!
This shot is amazing
Great shot!!!
i found a link to your photo on this portal
That youre did it in the b&w is actually best decision I guess. Very good work!
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Black & White Photographyy, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Very Clean Picture.
Reminds me of:
I bet this guy was shinein shoes before King Obama was ever elected...
I agree with the change imagery.. it does say alot... and it has absolutely nothing to do with Obama...
great photo :] I noticed some confusion- Your photograph made it to the front page of Digg, so many viewers are coming from there. Whoever submitted it put it under the title "CHANGE has come?" Thus, all of the commenters thought that was the message of your image.
une scène de vie incroyabale..j'ai l'impression d'être dans une autre époque avec ce magnifique N&B
change........... is the only part of life that is consistent.
awesome scene!
passed by his shoe shine station today and saw this picture printed out and propped up on one of his chairs. I was going to talk to him, but he wasn't anywhere nearby, he must have walked off for a moment.
I'll go back later and take a picture and talk to the guy. I'm wondering if someone gave it to him or if he found this himself?

His friend who works in the building nearby had printed it for him.
Please see an article written by C.W. Nevius about Larry recently in SFGate:
Very nice article. I'm glad you were finally able to meet him. =)
nice composition.
There's another article about him in SFGate -- looks like he got a scare and a break...
Before, w/ background
The next day, with happy ending...
Sharpness and capture are awesome! Just a wonderful composition and window into other peoples world.
I really think the guy is doin' it perfectly right. Rather get some work done and being paid for it than sitting around doin nothing and begging for money.
Great job.
Great shot.
nice shot !!!

A Saudi prince has warned that his oil-reliant nation is under threat because of fracking technology being developed elsewhere around the world.
Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said the Gulf Arab kingdom needed to reduce its reliance on crude oil and diversify its revenues.
His warning comes as rising shale energy supplies in the United States cut global demand for Saudi oil.
In an open letter to his country's oil minister Ali al Naimi and other government heads, published on Sunday via his Twitter account, Prince Alwaleed said demand for oil from Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) member states was "in continuous decline".
He said Saudi Arabia's heavy dependence on oil was "a truth that has really become a source of worry for many".
He added that the world's biggest crude oil exporter should implement "swift measures" to diversify its economy.
Prince Alwaleed, owner of international investment firm Kingdom Holding, is unusually outspoken for a top Saudi businessman.
But his warning reflects growing concern in private among many Saudis about the long-term impact of shale technology.
It is allowing the US and Canada to tap unconventional oil deposits which they could not reach just a few years ago.
The United States becoming more energy efficient and therefore giving the Middle East less power over energy supply? This is exactly what we have been waiting for.
The fracking boom has already led to major economic gains in America. States that have embraced the practice of breaking apart rock to release oil have seen unemployment numbers drop significantly. In addition, despite all of the fear mongering about the practice of fracking contaminating water, study after study has shown there is no link between the two.
Keep on fracking America.
A landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, shows no evidence that chemicals from the natural gas drilling process moved up to contaminate drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site, the Department of Energy told The Associated Press.
After a year of monitoring, the researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas trapped deep below the surface stayed thousands of feet below the shallower areas that supply drinking water, geologist Richard Hammack said.
Although the results are preliminary — the study is still ongoing — they are a boost to a natural gas industry that has fought complaints from environmental groups and property owners who call fracking dangerous.
Drilling fluids tagged with unique markers were injected more than 8,000 feet below the surface, but were not detected in a monitoring zone 3,000 feet higher. That means the potentially dangerous substances stayed about a mile away from drinking water supplies.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
Inside Story | 07 Nov 2012 09:12 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Iran, Israel, United States
Israel and Iran are participating in informal nuclear non-proliferation talks in Brussels, according to reports in a British newspaper.
Representatives from the US, the EU and about 10 Arab states are also attending what is being billed as an "academic" conference.
"Nothing will come out of these sort of talks. The point is from an Iranian perspective, those who are participating in these conferences have no authority. They are university professors, researchers, journalists or these sorts of people. They have no authority."
- Alireza Nourizadeh, Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies
The informal meetings are taking place on the sidelines of an international conference on non-proliferation.
But that has not stopped speculation about more substantive contact in the near future.
The delegations are being led by senior officials with government backing. The newspaper says the objective is to lay the groundwork for a full international conference on banning nuclear arms from the Middle East.
In September 2012, Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, told the UN General Assembly that Iran could be in a position to make a nuclear bomb by the middle of next year. He said a message needed to be sent:
"A red line should be drawn right here ... before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment ... necessary to make a bomb."
"While it is highly unlikely today or tomorrow, Israel has said that when they are at peace with their neighbours and they feel secure then they will join the NPT, so they don't rule that out forever. And what we are trying to establish through these kind of discussions is a way forward to try and create some trust where no trust exists."
- Mark Fitzpatrick, Institute for Strategic Studies
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, reacted to Netanyahu's red line, saying: "Why war? Whoever talks of war is condemned. Suddenly their psychological war was undermined, they are now nervous. Red line, white line, black line and the like is for children. This is the level of this guy's character. It appeared that his drawing was not good. He got it drawn by a machine. His drawing will get better if he practices more."
So, how serious are Israel and Iran on ensuring a nuclear-free Middle East? To answer this question, Inside Story with presenter Teymoor Nabili is joined by guests: Mark Fitzpatrick, the director of the Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and a former official at the US State Department; Mohammad Marandi, associate professor at the University of Tehran; and Alireza Nourizadeh, the director of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies.
