Here is the production CRKT M4-13 that you can afford to carry every day, anywhere. And while we were engineering it, we decided to add some more value by offering our patented(1) OutBurst™ assisted opening as an option, and our patented(2) and exclusive AutoLAWKS™ safety which automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked, creating a virtual fixed blade instantly for the ultimate in safety. The blade is a high-hollow-grind drop point of premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. Both Razor-Sharp and our exclusive Combined Razor-Sharp and Veff™ Serrated edges are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly. Our heavy-duty InterFrame build is true to Kit's design, with dual stainless steel liners, one locking, and a 6061 T6 anodized aluminum back spacer. Brushed stainless steel bolsters are inset with textured black Zytel® scales. Finally a high-mounted pocket/gear clip allows low in-pocket carry.

I have used this knife to literally cut open hoses, car door panels, pry on car parts, cut nylon, cloth (even carpet) and everything else you should not use an expensive knife for. It retains its edge long after some of my cheaper knives loose theirs. The serrations grip well on cloth but are also large enough to slice/cut solid objects. Also the pocket clip does not loosen over time like many other cheaper knives.

7/8/2015Lending Conference Call
Overview:Recent regulations, including the latest CFPB mortgage rules, greatly impact examiner focus and your loan origination process. This, coupled with the fact that quality, compliant loans are a priority for 2014, will cause financial institutions to experience increased compliance scrutiny and greater risk exposure – driving up the likelihood of exceptions and loan application costs. In addition, the new regulatory environment has slowed loan decisions and sacrificed the "faster decisions" competitive advantage. This webinar will provide information about streamlining the loan origination process to minimize risks, decrease turnaround times, and lower application costs, while effectively meeting the growing compliance requirements.
Attendance verification for CE credits provided upon request.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:This informative session is designed for CEOs, chief lending officers, loan operations managers, credit officers, compliance staff, and internal auditors.

Hospital orders independent review into care of four-year-old boy with autism
In a statement, the trust which runs the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham says its original investigation found no negligent practice by staff involved in Harry Procko's care but says it's addressing weaknesses.
The hospital has commissioned a separate independent review, the findings of which they will discuss with the family.
"We have completed our own detailed investigation of Harry's care. An external independent expert has carefully considered our investigation of this case and Report. We have since commissioned a separate external, independent review into Harry's clinical management while in our care in June 2014. We are awaiting this Report.
"Our investigation found no negligent practice by staff involved in Harry's care. The Report describes some weaknesses in our processes, which we are addressing, and we did not take a blood test which was originally planned. Harry received regular observations and oral fluid in both ED and the children's assessment ward. Harry's condition was judged to have to have improved on the ward.
"The blood test was no longer thought necessary by the doctors looking after him. Our doctors agreed that he could return home overnight. On the ward the following morning a consultant judged that Harry was then well enough to be discharged from hospital without a blood test.
"We have discussed the main findings of our investigation with Harry's family and shared the full Report with the family and Coroner. We will share the second Report with the family and Coroner as soon as this is available. The Trust continues to assist the Coroner with her investigation into Harry's death and will contribute to the forthcoming inquest."

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 2/7/13
Keeping the Celtics as a contending team is a daunting prospect with all their injury concerns and the continual conversation of are they better without Rondo. Last night's game provided the proof that this team is mediocre at best. The Toronto Raptors led by new leader, Rudy Gay gave a spirited effort and Boston played down to their expectations. It was very hard to tell which was the veteran-laden team as Toronto took a 10 point lead into the fourth quarter. Thank goodness, Kevin Garnett and the Brazilian Blur, Leandro Barbosa led the charge in the fourth and they were able to extend their winning streak to five. Still, it is clear that the Celtics are in a tenuous position without Rondo. He is a polarizing figure, whose talent is often obscured by his eccentricities. Kobe Bryant said it best when describing Rondo in his interview with Jackie MacMullan of ESPN: "You don't want Rondo? Send him my way," Kobe declared. "I love everything about him. Everything. I love his attitu...

An Australian camper is feared dead after a crocodile attack. Horrified onlookers saw the 24-year-old man swim across a muddy river to be snatched away by the fearsome reptile, police say.

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Australia, saltwater crocodile, animal attack, swimming
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The victim was swimming with a friend near the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about 80 miles east of Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory.
The two men swam to the middle of the muddy river and were on their way back when the crocodile lunged, taking the victim below the surface. The suspected creature, a saltwater crocodiles, can grow up to 23 feet long and weigh more than a ton. They are commonly found in Australia's tropical north.
The man was reportedly celebrating his friend's 30th birthday at the outback tourist destination, Senior Sergeant Geoff Bahnert told journalists.
"Several of the group in the party witnessed the male being taken in the jaws of the croc for a period of time, and then he was out of sight," Bahnert said.
"The Mary River is known worldwide to have the greatest saturation of adult saltwater crocodiles in the world. You don't swim in the Mary River," he said.
Faulty judgment triggered by alcohol may have played a part in the decision to swim, he said.
"We do actually tell all our guests not to swim and to stay at least five meters back from the edge of the bank," Erin Bayard, an employee of the resort where the group was staying, told reporters. She says that crocodiles were very common in the Mary River.
The last fatal crocodile attack in the Northern Territory was in December 2012, when a nine-year-old boy was taken by a saltwater crocodile near Dhania, south of Nhulunbuy, NT News said.
In response, police in northern Australia said they had killed several crocodiles that posed a risk to rescuers searching for the body of the local man dragged under while swimming earlier.

I'm developing a web application for mobile browsers. Right now most of development is done on local machines (with local apache) and I'd like to test how it behaves in low bandwidth and even high latency environments. I don't need to use apache as there is little server side things for the moment. Do you know any good tool?
You may want to give Sloppy a try.
UPDATE: @SamSaffron posted a cool gist: https://gist.github.com/2132065 to inject 300ms latency into the network stack
I usually just install Fiddler on the client and run the site whilst running Fiddler. It can simulate 56K speeds and it can also keep track of how much data has been received so you can check exactly how much bandwidth your site uses.
Try this addon for Fiddler2 to limit the bandwitdth
If you're using Firefox, you could install Firebug and install Yahoo!'s YSlow addon. This adds an additional tab to Firebug which points out bandwidth bottlenecks for the currently loaded page.
There is a great tool for this purpose Charles

Facebook Flexes for Rivals
Social Network Touts New Partnerships, Features as it Gears Up for Competition
Facebook Inc. unveiled a series of partnerships with established media companies as well as smaller application developers, and touted a series of new features as the social network prepares to square off against rival Google Inc. AAPL -0.13 %
Facebook's new partners include the Washington Post Co. NFLX 0.44 % , online music service Spotify AB and video-streaming service Netflix Inc., NFLX 0.44 % among others.
The company also said it would update profile pages on the site to include a feature called Timeline, which gathers historical posts, photos and videos from a user's life. A new "Ticker" feature, meanwhile, enables users to see more minor updates among contacts.
The announcements, which came at Facebook's event for developers Thursday in San Francisco, underscore the company's determination to become a hub for content discovery—placing it more firmly in opposition to Google, which also opened its social-networking site, Google+, to the general public earlier this week.
"The next era is going to be defined by apps and the depth of engagement," said Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg on stage at the event.
Mr. Zuckerberg also announced plans to update Facebook's "open graph," a system that allows outside applications—which users must sign up for—to tap into Facebook users' data. The open graph will now allow a variety of media companies and start-ups to create applications for consuming and sharing content inside of Facebook.
The partnerships with media companies mark a shift in the way they have tended to use the Web, which typically directs traffic to their own sites to build an audience and sell more advertising. Under partnerships announced Thursday, by contrast, users will be able to read articles from the Washington Post within Facebook, as opposed to being directed via a link to the Washington Post website.
Donald Graham, chief executive of the Washington Post's parent company and a Facebook board member, said the news industry in particular needs to try new things to draw in younger readers. He believes the Washington Post Social Reader, which aggregates news stories from the newspaper that a user's Facebook friends have read, will help the company build the biggest audience it can. "Companies like ours need to try new things," he said.
Through its partnership with Sweden's Spotify—a move that puts Facebook in more direct competition with Apple Inc. AAPL -0.13 % 's iTunes music store—Facebook will let users see music being listened to by contacts via its new Ticker feature. Mr. Zuckerberg said the service would let members listen to music together.
Facebook board member and Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings admitted on stage that he was ambivalent at first about his company's partnership with the social network. One of the new features will include Netflix users' viewing activity being posted on the Facebook site. "We were suspicious," Mr. Hastings said. "Doesn't that make us competitively vulnerable?" Mr. Hastings said he was persuaded by Mr. Zuckerberg that if people share more on Facebook, it will draw more users to Netflix.
Daniel Ek, chief executive of Spotify, argued similarly, saying that it's twice as likely for a person to purchase music if they have a recommendation from a friend through Facebook.
The Facebook event, known as f8, opened with a sketch by Saturday Night Live comic Andy Samberg doing an impersonation of Mr. Zuckerberg, who came on stage to demonstrate the Timeline feature. It is designed to be navigated quickly in a single page and allow users to curate their history on Facebook.
The announcements come on the heels of a series of redesigns of Facebook's site. The company recently updated its news feed to highlight information that users would be most interested in, as opposed to updates in chronological order as it had done previously.
The company, which now claims 800 million users, has elicited some concern from privacy advocates and regulators as it seeks to augment services designed to better connect social contacts. In August, Facebook released a significant update to its privacy controls, making it easier for users to tailor posts and photos to specific friends.

Vanessa Paradis wouldn't stand in the way of her teenage daughter if she wanted to pursue a showbiz career.
Vanessa Paradis would support her daughter if she wanted a showbiz career.
The singer-and-actress shot to fame in her native France aged just 14 with hit song 'Joe Le Taxi' and though she'd prefer her to live a ''normal'' life, she couldn't imagine denying her own 14-year-old daughter Lily-Rose of her dreams should she choose to go down the same route.
Quizzed whether she would let the teen follow in her footsteps, Vanessa said: ''Answering that question is complicated. I would love for her to be able to live a normal life... But at the same time, if the desire to become an artist is as real and strong as it was for me when I was her age, I think it would be a shame to say no.''
As well as Lily-Rose, the 41-year-old star also has an 11-year-old son, Jack, with her ex-partner Johnny Depp, who she split from in 2012.
In spite of their amicable separation, Vanessa was reluctant to discuss her ex and his new fiancée Amber Heard, who is 13 years his junior.
She said: ''I understand people's curiosity, but don't count on me to feed it. I've always refused to discuss my private life. I think there's nothing worth preserving more.''
Vanessa - who is rumoured to be dating French singer Benjamin Biolay - is a firm believer in growing old gracefully and says the thought of going under the knife terrifies her.
She told Swiss TV show 'Le Matin': ''I don't judge women who do that, but it scares me. I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The most important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin.''

Acute administration of absolute ethanol (10 ml/kg) per os to fasted mice produced extensive renal failure as measured by a rise in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Pretreatment with oral administration of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) prevented such failure. The maximal effect against absolute ethanol-induced renal failure could be observed 1 h after TMP administration. In order to further investigate the renal protective mechanism of TMP, experiments on lipid peroxidation and superoxide scavenging activity were conducted. Renal homogenates made from mice treated with ethanol showed that TMP pretreatment had an antioxidant effect. Mice in acute renal failure had higher malonic dialdehyde concentrations than those pretreated with TMP. The renal protective mechanism of TMP was attributed, in part, to its prominent superoxide scavenging effect, which protects the kidney from superoxide-induced renal damage.

CD2 Grasshopper: Your Green Off And On Road Driving Tool
Off-road driving is now becoming a popular hobby to many of the hobbyist worldwide. This only means that more and more carbon footprints are being contributed to our environment, which obviously will harm mother earth and us in the near future. However, the CD2 Grasshopper will soon eliminate this negative effect off-road car can create. Designed by industrial designer Vil Tsimenzin, the CD2 Grasshopper is an off and on-road vehicle that runs using an electric motor. The motor is powered by a rechargeable battery, which on the other hand can be recharged either from a 110V outlet or through a solar or thermal collecting pipe system. Users will definitely have an enjoyable ride as it hit the top speed of 40-45 mph in an approximately 1.25 hours of non-stop driving in a single charge. One more exciting feature that the CD2 grasshopper has and which I am sure that you will agree is its ability to change its color as a power status indicator.

The present invention provides a process for converting a hydrophobic siloxane diacrylate, an aromatic fluorinated diacrylate and a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol diacrylate to their respective multifunctional oligomers. Bis(4-acryloxybutyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, prepared from the corresponding diol, is converted to relatively low viscosity, multifunctional oligomers with the use of DMSO. The hydrophilic monomer, polyethylene glycol 400 diacrylate, formed more viscous, water soluble oligomeric products without the need for a solvent. Characterization of these oligomers by infrared spectroscopy and 1 H NMR supports the assigned structures. Because of the predominant 1,6-arrangement of double bonds in these oligomers, they have a propensity to undergo cyclopolymerization as well as the usual crosslinking associated with the free radical polymerization of multifunctional monomers and oligomers. These novel oligomeric monomers have potential use in dental composites, sealants, adhesives, dentures, contact lenses, biomedical prostheses, cements, drug delivery systems, coatings and caulks.
1. A process for synthesizing multifunctional acrylate monomers and oligomers, comprising the steps of:
providing a reactant acrylate compound selected from a group consisting of siloxane diacrylate, a polyethylene glycol diacrylate, an aromatic fluorinated diacrylate, and a hydroxylated aliphatic diacrylate; and
exposing the acrylate compound to reaction conditions comprising a temperature within the range of about 90� C. to about 95� C. for a time within about 6 hours to about 20 hours effective for resulting in multifunctional acrylate monomers and oligomers having predominant 1,6-arrangement of double bonds.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said acrylate compound is siloxane diacrylate.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein said acrylate compound is aromatic fluorinated diacrylate.
4. The process of claim 1 wherein said acrylate compound is polyethylene glycol diacrylate.
5. The process of claim 1 wherein said acrylate compound is a hydroxylated aliphatic diacrylate.
6. The process of claim 1 wherein DMSO is used as a solvent.
7. The process of claim 3, wherein DMSO is used as a solvent.
This invention relates to acrylate compounds, and more particularly to multifunctional acrylate monomers that undergo ambient free radical polymerization.
Novel difunctional and multifunctional vinyl monomers with a propensity for intra-intramolecular addition polymerization (cyclopolymerization) have been conveniently synthesized from conventional acrylates or diacrylates and paraformaldehyde under neat conditions using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO) as the catalyst ##STR1##
The mechanism for the formation of oxy-bismethacrylates such as 3 from monoacrylates such as 1 (and presumably the oligomeric monomers derived from diacrylates as well) appears to involve an unusual base catalyzed self etherification of the intermediate α-hydroxymethyl acrylate 2 ##STR2##
Recently the scope of this interesting reaction was extended to the synthesis of difunctional and oligomeric multifunctional fluorinated monomers from the corresponding mono- and difunctional fluorinated acrylates. In contrast to the solventless conditions used in the transformation of conventional hydrocarbon acrylates, the highly fluorinated starting monomers required the use of a solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to achieve their successful conversion to difunctional and oligomeric monomers.
The serendipitous discovery that the DABCO-catalyzed reaction of an acrylate ester and formaldehyde would proceed beyond the initial α-hydroxymethyl acrylate intermediate to a 1,6-diene has uncovered a rich vein of new monomers. The monomers are essentially ether-fused dimethacrylates with the ester groups located externally. This ester functionality can be varied to significantly alter the properties of the monomers and their corresponding polymers. The 1,6-diene configuration in the monomer gives access to an intramolecular cyclization pathway for polymerization. Depending on the polymerization conditions, linear polymer can be formed exclusively via cyclopolymerization or crosslinked polymer can be obtained by a combination of the 1,6-cycloaddition and 1,2-addition polymerization modes.
In addition to the difunctional 1,6-diene monomers, multifunctional oligomers capable of several discrete cyclopolymerizations per chain, thereby yielding highly crosslinked polymers, have been synthesized and evaluated. All these new monomers share several properties that make them attractive prospects for use in dental resins. By virtue of the cyclopolymerization process, high degrees of conversion can be achieved while yielding relatively high modulus polymeric materials. An efficient cyclopolymerization process also offers a route to significantly reduced levels of polymerization shrinkage compared with conventional dimethacrylate polymerizations.
Those aware with these and other developments recognize the need to extend and establish the bounds of this new avenue of chemistry and evaluate novel monomers and their applications.
The present invention provides a process for converting a hydrophobic siloxane diacrylate and a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol diacrylate to their respective multifunctional oligomers. Bis(4-acryloxybutyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane, prepared from the corresponding diol, is converted to relatively low viscosity, multifunctional oligomers with the use of DMSO. The hydrophilic monomer, polyethylene glycol 400 diacrylate, formed more viscous, water soluble oligomeric products without the need for a solvent. Characterization of these oligomers by infrared spectroscopy and 1 H NMR supports the assigned structures. Because of the predominant 1,6-arrangement of double bonds in these oligomers, they have a propensity to undergo cyclopolymerization as well as the usual crosslinking associated with the free radical polymerization of multifunctional monomers and oligomers. These novel oligomeric monomers have potential use in dental composites, sealants, adhesives, dentures, biomedical prostheses, cements, contact lenses, drug delivery systems, coatings and caulks.
An object of the present invention is the provision of an improved process for synthesizing multifunctional acrylate monomers having a predominant 1,6-arrangement of double bonds.
A still further object of the present invention is the provision of a process for synthesizing multifunctional acrylates having a propensity to undergo cyclopolymerization.
These and other attributes of the invention will become more clear upon a thorough study of the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, particularly when reviewed in conjunction with the examples.
The following examples are illustrative of the best mode for carrying out the invention. They are obviously not to be construed as limitative of the invention since various other embodiments can readily be evolved in view of the teachings provided herein.
These examples demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing multifunctional vinyl oligomers containing ethylene oxide (hydrophilic) or siloxane (hydrophobic) segments.
Synthesis of ethylene oxide based multifunctional vinyl oligomers.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 diacrylate (average molecular weight=508, Scientific Polymer Products, Inc., Ontario, N.Y.), and paraformaldehyde (95%, Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.), 2 mmol (1.016 g) and 4 mmol (0.126 g), respectively, were combined with 0.2 mmol (0.0224 g) DABCO (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.) in a sealed vial which was heated (oil bath) at 90�-95� C. for six hours. The clear, viscous liquid was isolated in ca. 85% yield by column chromatography (silica gel) using methanol as the eluant. As determined by 1 H NMR spectroscopy (NMR, JEOL GSX-270, Peabody, Mass.), the oligomeric product consisted mainly of segments having the in-chain structures designated by A (1,6-diene) and C (1,4-diene) and end groups such as B as shown below. The ratio of A:B:C was 6:3:1. ##STR3##
In a slightly modified preparation, the same starting mixture of reagents was reacted at 90�-95� C. for 20 hours. The following alternate product isolation procedure was used. The viscous, crude product contained no measurable amount of the PEG 400 diacrylate starting material as determined by 1 H NMR analysis. The oligomer was washed with several portions of carbon tetrachloride to remove any low molecular weight product as well as the DABCO reaction catalyst. The oligomer was then dissolved in chloroform and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure (to ca. 5 Pa) to provide the PEG 400 oligomer as a viscous pale yellow oil in ca. 63% yield. Characterization of the product by 1 H NMR indicated no unreacted acrylate end groups and an average of 3.7 repeat units per oligomer. This corresponds to a molecular weight of ca. 2700 for the oligomer. The repeating diene structure of the oligomer was predominantly 1,6; about 8% of the diene units had the less common 1,4 orientation.

The ethoxylated oligomeric multifunctional vinyl monomer derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 diacrylate (molecular weight=302, Scientific Polymer Products, Inc., Ontario, N.Y.) was synthesized and characterized in a similar manner. The PEG 200 oligomer, prepared under the same conditions described above (90�-95� C. for 20 hours), contained an average of 4.2 repeat units per oligomer having mainly 1,6-diene units with only 6% 1,4-diene units. The average molecular weight of the PEG 200 oligomer was only ca. 1900 due to the shorter ethylene oxide chain length compared with that in the PEG 400 material; however, it was slightly more viscous than the PEG 400 oligomer.
The following generalized scheme indicates the oligomerization/condensation reaction of formaldehyde with poly(ethylene oxide) based diacrylates. ##STR4## Synthesis of tetramethyldisiloxane based multi-functional vinyl oligomers.
The starting siloxane diacrylate, 1,3-bis(4-acryloxybutyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, was synthesized as shown from the corresponding diol, 1,3-bis(4-hydroxybutyl)tetramethyldisiloxane (Columbia Organic Chemicals Co., Columbia, S.C.) and acryloyl chloride in the solvent dichloromethane using triethylamine as the catalyst/acid acceptor. ##STR5## The siloxane diacrylate was isolated in 85% yield and characterized by infrared and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, respectively.
IR (neat) 2945, 1718, 1631, 1401, 1264, 1254, 1060, 950, 840 cm-1 1 H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.00 (s, Si--CH3), 0.51 (t, Si--CH2), 1.40 (m, Si--CH2 OCH2), 1.66 (m, O--CH2 --CH2), 4.12 (t, O--CH2), 5.78 (d, ═CH2), 6.09 (q, CH2 ═CH), 6.38 (d, ═CH2).
The siloxane diacrylate was oligomerized according to the procedure outlined below. ##STR6## wherein x=--CH2 OH or --H.
A neat mixture of the siloxane diacrylate and DABCO in a molar ration of 1:0.4 was heated for 30 minutes at 80�-85� C. and then transferred to a vial containing 2 equivalents of paraformaldehyde (based on the diacrylate) and DMSO (50% by weight based on the diacrylate). The vial was sealed and heated with stirring (magnetic) at 90� C. (oil bath) for 20 hours. The yellow, viscous liquid was dissolved in ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1:1) and washed with dilute (ca. 5% b.w.) aqueous hydrochloric acid until the extract was at pH 6. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation at room temperature under a moderate vacuum. The pale yellow, slightly viscous residue was then chromatographically separated on silica gel using 20% ethyl acetate in n-hexane to elute the unreacted diacrylate and ethyl acetate to elute the oligomeric product.
IR (neat) 3465, 1718, 1634, 1254, 1164, 1060 cm-1 1 H NMR (CDCl3) 0.01 (s, Si--CH3), 0.48 (t, Si--CH2), 1.36 (m, Si--CH2 CH2), 1.64 (m, Si--CH2 CH2 CH2), 4.12 (t, CH2 O2 C), 4.22 (s, CH2 OCH2), 4.30 (s, CH2 OH), 5.80 (d, HOCH2 C═CH2), 5.87 (d, CH2 OCH2 C═CH2), 6.21 (d, HOCH2 C═CH2), 6.38 (d, CH2 OCH2 C═CH2) 13 C NMR (CDCl3) 0.2 (Si--CH3), 17.8 (Si--CH2), 19.6 (Si--CH2 CH2), 31.9 (Si--CH2 CH2 CH2), 62.0 (HOCH2), 64.4 (CO2 CH2), 68.7 (CH2 OCH2), 125.0 and 125.3 (C═CH2, internal and terminal), 137.0 (CH2 OCH2 C═CH2), 139.6 (HOCH2 C═CH2), 165.7 (CH2 OCH2 C9═CH2)C═O), 166.2 (HOCH2 C(═CH2)C═O)
The 1 H NMR also shows a small peak at 5.54 which corresponds to the 1,4-diene linkage, --C(═CH2)--CH2 --C(═CH2)--, but this amounts to only about 3% of the structure of the oligomer shown in the above equation. In addition, the 13 C NMR shows a very small peak at 94.5 which indicates that a trace of 1,8-diene linkage is also present in the oligomer. The ratio of 1,6-diene to terminal hydroxymethyl acrylates is ca. 2:1 which gives a value of n=2 on average for the oligomer. The composition of end groups in the oligomer is x=--CH2 OH (95%) and x=--H (5%).
Results and Discussion
The above examples demonstrate that the unique insertion/condensation reaction of formaldehyde with mono- or difunctional acrylates can be extended to the synthesis of hydrophilic polyethylene oxide and hydrophobic siloxane multifunctional vinyl monomers. The preparation of the hydrophilic oligomers was similar to the procedures used to convert conventional hydrocarbon mono- and diacrylates to the corresponding difunctional and multifunctional vinyl monomers. As expected the hydrophilic oligomers had a predominantly 1,6-diene structure similar to that obtained from oligomers derived from hydrocarbon diacrylates. The siloxane oligomer also had mainly the 1,6 arrangement of double bonds but required the use of the compatibilizing additive or solvent, DMSO, in its synthesis. Previously it was found that DMSO also was necessary to effect the synthesis of analogous highly fluorinated difunctional monomers and oligomers from the corresponding fluoroacrylates.
Because of favorable proximity of many of their double bonds (i.e. the predominance of 1,6-diene units), these oligomers should have a propensity for cyclopolymerization via six membered cyclic rings. Under bulk free radical conditions, which is the common mode of polymerization in dental resin applications, crosslinking also results. The degree of cyclopolymerization versus crosslinking will depend on the 1,4-diene content and other structural features of the oligomer, the type and concentration of comonomers and the conditions of polymerization. Generally, cyclopolymerization will aid in both reducing residual vinyl unsaturation and polymerization shrinkage but will tend to lower the crosslink density of the polymer. The following is an idealized representation of oligomer polymerization or copolymerization showing both cyclization and crosslinking. ##STR7## The formation of in-chain cyclic structures as shown above is expected to aid in raising the glass transition temperature of these polymers which may somewhat offset the effects of lower degrees of crosslinking.
The hydrophilic and hydrophobic characters of these oligomers should allow the formation of unique homopolymers and copolymers. The poly(ethylene oxide) oligomers are novel hydrogels which should find application in composites, cements and other resin based materials. Their large bulk, cyclopolymerizability and potential for hygroscopic expansion after water uptake all aid in moderating the effects of polymerization contraction. The siloxane oligomers, which combine large bulk, comparatively low viscosity, high flexibility and cyclopolymerizability, offer a facile means of achieving low shrinking, hydrophobic, tough polymer structures suitable for use in a variety of dental, medical and industrial applications.
Synthesis of Multifunctional Fluorinated Oligomeric Monomers.
The combination of hydrocarbon acrylate esters with paraformaldehyde in the presence of DABCO yields the cyclopolymerizable 1,6-diene as the main product. Depending on the ester functionality, the reaction can also produce a 1,4-diene condensation product in concentrations ranging from 0 to approximately 15%. The 1,4-diene configuration in this product would require that a high energy four-membered ring form if cyclopolymerization were to take place through a head-to-tail intramolecular addition, thereby discounting this polymerization pathway. The use of fluorinated acrylate esters derived from --(CF2)n --CH2 OH type alcohols in the aldehyde insertion reaction was found to result in predominantly 1,4-diene products due to the electronegativity of the ester group. The synthesis of predominantly fluorinated 1,6-dienes was successful when acrylates derived from fluoro alcohols, Rf OH, with Rf =--CH2 CH2 (CF2)n were employed; however, these types of fluorinated acrylates or alcohols are extremely scarce. Therefore, in an attempt to prepare 1,6-dienes from readily available fluorinated starting materials, the diacrylate of hexafluorobisphenol A was synthesized and subjected to the standard aldehyde insertion-condensation reaction conditions. ##STR8## Surprisingly, the result was a nonviscous multifunctional oligomer 3 which had internal diene linkages in a 2.1 to 1 ratio favoring the 1,4- over the 1,6-diene. The oligomer had an average of approximately five repeat units per oligomer chain. This type of fluorinated oligomer would be expected to provide a highly crosslinked, hydrophobic matrix; however, it would not be expected to undergo a high degree of cyclopolymerization. However, the combination of low viscosity and relatively high molecular weight in a resin also favors reduced polymerization shrinkage, especially in highly filled composites.
Synthesis of water soluble monomers
Since the ester groups can be varied in the cyclopolymerizable monomers, the functionality can be tailored to fit specific application needs. Preparation of cyclopolymerizable monomers which would be water soluble or water compatible for use as crosslinkable modifying agents for dental and medical adhesives, hybrid glass ionomer cement-composites, polymeric calcium phosphate cements, fluoride and drug release vehicles and contact lenses was undertaken. One approach to this problem involved the use of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate in the aldehyde insertion reaction. The major product 11 was obtained in 56% yield. ##STR9## While the difunctional product 11 was significantly more polar in nature than other cyclopolymerizable monomers prepared previously, it was not water soluble. Because of its highly polar nature and facile polymerizability, it is expected to be useful as an adhesion promoting bonding agent. The α-hydroxymethyl intermediate 12 was also isolated from the reaction mixture and this product was quite water soluble and, though not able to cyclopolymerize, is a functional monomer capable of conversion to difunctional and multifunctional monomers and oligomers.
Alternatively, the synthesis of a cyclopolymerizable, difunctional HEMA type derivative was sought. Direct attempts to use 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) in the aldehyde insertion reaction were unsuccessful due to complications attributed to the hydroxyl group. Therefore, the alcohol was first protected as the tetrahydropyranyl derivative 13 which was then converted to the 1,6-diene product 14. ##STR10## The blocking group was then removed to yield the hydroxyethyl terminated 1,6-diene monomer 15. Like HEA its monofunctional analog, the cyclopolymerizable monomer was completely water soluble. The monomer was polymerized to a crosslinked glassy polymer which swells in water but not in dichloromethane. Aqueous solutions of the monomer can also be polymerized to produce hydrophilic gels which may be of utility in dental and medical applications.
While only certain preferred embodiments of this invention have been shown and described by way of illustration, many modifications will occur to those skilled in the art and it is, therefore, desired that it be understood that it is intended herein to cover all such modifications that fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

2001 Jeep Cherokee Question: My Jeep is making a loud roaring noise.
I'm not sure what it is. I turned it on this morning and got the loud roaring noise and then got on the highway and was fine. But then I got off my exit and it started back up again. It doesn't sound good. Could it be anything related to needing to change/give it more engine oil? - m_zimmerman
Answer 1
no. it could the fan clutch or a cooling fan. have a shop check it and confirm. Roy - mastertech6371

- April 09, 2015 - TERRIBLE school!!! The kids are out of control and the teachers do NOTHING to stop it! There can not be any actual learning because the kids who want to cause problems take ALL the time away from instruction. Teachers are rude. Kids behave SO badly. No one wants to address the problems and fix it. Honestly this school needs to just shut down!!! These teachers just want to get a little paycheck and go home. The teachers barely arrive before the students! No planning or preparation! If you can keep your kid out of this school...GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL!!!! - Posted by Parent
- October 11, 2010 - I was just told by an 11 year old Girl, that goes to this school, that she was PUNCHED in the eye today by a Boy In the class room!! because she was talking too much!? Her grandmother, after seeing her black eye, ended up having to call the school later in the day to find out what was going on??? Over my dead body will my little girls being going to this Jungle of a school!!! - Posted by Parent

|The Who singles chronology
"The Seeker" is a song written by Pete Townshend and performed by English rock band The Who, and featured on their 1971 compilation album Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy.
Around the time of song's release, Townshend explained its meaning in an interview with Rolling Stone: "Quite loosely, "The Seeker" was just a thing about what I call Divine Desperation, or just Desperation. And what it does to people. It just kind of covers a whole area where the guy's being fantastically tough and ruthlessly nasty and he's being incredibly selfish and he's hurting people, wrecking people's homes, abusing his heroes, he's accusing everyone of doing nothing for him and yet at the same time he's making a fairly valid statement, he's getting nowhere, he's doing nothing and the only thing he really can't be sure of is his death, and that at least dead, he's going to get what he wants. He thinks!"[1]
"I suppose I like this least of all the stuff", wrote Townshend the following year. "It suffered from being the first thing we did after Tommy, and also from being recorded a few too many times. We did it once at my home studio, then at IBC where we normally worked then with Kit Lambert producing. Then Kit had a tooth pulled, breaking his jaw, and we did it ourselves. The results are impressive. It sounded great in the mosquito-ridden swamp I made it up in, Florida at three in the morning drunk out of my brain with Tom Wright and John Wolff. But that's always where the trouble starts, in the swamp. The alligator turned into an elephant and finally stampeded itself to death on stages around England. I don't think we even got to play it in the States."[2]
This is not entirely true, as the band did perform it for about two weeks on their 1970 American tour.[3][4][5][6] The Who revived the song briefly in 2000 and then extensively starting on the 2006–2007 tour for Endless Wire.
The lyrics name-check several people who had high profiles in contemporary pop culture: musicians Bob Dylan (as "Bobby Dylan") and The Beatles, and advocate of psychedelic drugs Timothy Leary. Townshend was a devotee of the teachings of Meher Baba, a Persian mystic whose 1966 treatise God in a Pill? famously lambasted drug use as a means of consciousness expansion. Similarly, Townshend was an opponent of drug abuse throughout this period.
Released in the UK as Track 604036 on 21 March 1970, "The Seeker" reached number 19 in the charts. Released in the US as Decca 7-32670, it hit the Billboard charts on 11 April 1970, eventually peaking at number 44. The B-side, "Here For More", is one of the few Who songs written by lead singer Roger Daltrey.
