Nicki Minaj wants to have kids ''in five years'' and hopes to eventually become a mother of three.
Nicki Minaj wants to have kids ''in five years''.
The 'Super Bass' hitmaker - who is dating rapper Safaree 'SB' Samuels - loves the idea of motherhood and would like to have two or three little ones in the future.
She said: ''In five years, perhaps, I'd like to have children. I love children - I'm a children freak. I'd like two, maybe three.''
While the 30-year-old singer has set her sights on starting a family, she is also keen to ensure she career as a musician continues and she has more hits.
She explained to Marie Claire magazine: ''I can't predict my life, but there's always more left to achieve. More albums, outdoing your own expectations, but, most of all, proving to yourself that no one else can box in.''
Despite the 'Starships' singer's ambition, she enjoys having some time off now and again, when she stays in and looks ''really horrible''.
She explained: ''I just don't want to be bothered on my day off, so it's back to a tracksuit, Uggs and socks, and I don't wear any make-up on my skin. I let it breathe as much as possible. I look really, really horrible.''

In April, a spokesman from MILF announced that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters had reach a mutual understanding. They announced their intent to represent the interests of the Islamic State, expanding the influence of the new Caliphate into south-east Asia and declared war on the Philippines government and its western allies.
Within the past month, Islamic fighters have attacked US and Philippines military personnel at both Subic Bay and Clark Air Base, resulting in the death of 27 US service members. US Marines and Special Operations Forces have deployed for ground operations to prevent the spread of the Islamic State into the Pacific rim.
The aggressive bounty hunting of insurgent leaders by Black Rhino, a South African-based PMC given license to operate in the region by the Philippines government, has left a trail of bodies and collateral damage and caused fears that their heavy-handed efforts are only driving more of the Bangsamoro population to the side of MILF and the Islamic State. US combat operations have begun, and a swift victory is required to crush the Islamic State's new front in their growing global jihad.

south indian mango pickle
|Raw mango
|12 Medium
|Mustard powder
|300 Gram
|Red chili powder
|250 Gram
|250 Gram (not more than 150 to 200 gms if using iodised salt)
|Fenugreek seeds
|50 Gram
|Sesame seed oil
|1 1⁄2 Kilogram
Leave the raw mangoes in water for 15 minutes and dry them with a clean cloth. Cut them into pieces of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Discard the seed / stone and the onion type layer on the pieces. Clean the cut pieces with dry cloth.
Mix the mustard powder, red chili powder, salt and fenugreek seeds together in a big basin. Add one cup of oil and mix to a consistency that can be held in a fist. Sprinkle the mango pieces also with a little oil. Take a few mango pieces at a time and mix them well with mustard, chili, salt mix and put them in a ceramic jar or a big plastic container. Repeat the process till the mix and the mango pieces are over. Towards the end if a little mix remains it can be added on top. Pour 1 inch oil above it and cover it with a lid. Tie a neat thick cloth over it and store it. Mix it well on the third day. Taste it and if need salt may be added at this stage. Those who want to add garlic or chickpeas can do so now. Take some Avakaya separately and mix a handful of chickpeas in some and garlic in some. Since chickpeas and garlic take oil add extra oil.

Power Couples Revisited
Back in 2000, my wife Dora Costa and I wrote a paper about power couples that interested many people. We argue that big cities solve the co-location problem so that in an age of ambitious working women that such couples will increasingly cluster in such cities as they meet and marry and stay in such cities or move to such cities. But, a recent research line has found that some men appear to be troubled by their wife's earnings.

R5 is OR6, SO2 R7 or OSO2 R7 ;
R6 is H, C1-6 alkyl or C1-6 -alkanoyl; and

2. 1-(1-thioxanthonylcarbonyloxy)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2methyl)[propanoylphenoxy]ethane,
1-(3-thioxanthonylthio)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)-propanoylphenoxymethylenecarbonyloxy]ethane, or

6. A compound according to claim 1, wherein R2 is carbonyloxyethyleneoxy, carbonyloxyethylenethio, oxymethylenecarbonyloxyethylenethio, or oxymethylenecarbonylamidoethylenethio.
The invention relates to photoinitiators having a molecular structure which is a combination of different photoinitiator basic structural types. These photoinitiators having a combined structure serve as photoinitiators for the photopolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds or binder systems containing them. In this connection, they exhibit, in many cases, a number of unexpected advantages compared with the photoinitiator individual structures or the mixtures thereof on which they are based.
Photochemically produced polymerization reactions have become of great importance in industry, in particular for rapid curing of thin films, such as, for example, in the curing of paint coatings and plastic coatings on paper, wood, metal, and plastic or in the drying of printing inks. This curing by irradiation in the presence of photoinitiators is distinguished, compared with conventional methods for the drying or curing of coatings, by saving of materials and energy, low thermal stress of the substrate, and in particular a high curing rate. Moreover, the preparation of polymer materials per se by polymerization of the corresponding unsaturated monomeric starting materials is often carried out photochemically and by means of photoinitiators in such conventional processes as solution and emulsion polymerization.
Since in the reactions mentioned, none of the reactants is usually capable of absorbing a sufficient amount of the photochemically active radiation, it is necessary to add photoinitiators. The photoinitiators are capable of either absorbing the incoming high energy radiation, in most cases UV light, and forming active starter radicals during this process, which in turn initiate the photopolymerization, or transferring the energy absorbed to one of the polymerizable reactants for the purpose of radical formation. Usually, the initiators do not take part in the polymerization reaction itself.
Photoinitiators which are suitable for this purpose are predominantly compounds of the type of aromatic ketones, such as benzophenone, benzil, or thioxanthones, and of the type of α-substituted alkylphenones, such as benzoin ethers, benzil monoketals, dialkoxyacetophenones, or hydroxyalkylphenones, and derivatives derived from these structural types.
The increasing diversification and specialization of processes and products in the area of coating techniques using polymer materials and the more and more frequent requirement of providing tailor-made solutions for these problems have the result that increasingly higher and more specific demands are also made on the photoinitiators. Therefore, in many cases, photoinitiators of the conventional type do not fulfill, or at least not to an optimum degree, the demand made on them today.
The major problems involved are the achievement of maximum photoinitiator activity, in particular also that in pigmented systems, compatibility with a wide range of binder systems, their reactive components and other modifying additives, the storage stability in the dark of the systems containing the initiator and the possible deterioration in the quality of the cured final product, such as yellowing, as a result of unconverted initiator residues and initiator degradation products.
Photoinitiators of the type of aromatic ketones, such as, in particular, benzophenone and thioxanthone and derivatives thereof, belong, as is known, to the group of "intermolecular H abstractors". The photoinitiators of the type of α-substituted alkylphenones, belong to the group of "intramolecular α-cleavers". Intramolecular α-cleavers disintegrate, after excitation and transition to the excited triplet state, into two active starter radicals.
Intermolecular H abstractors require coinitiators for effective activity; in most cases, amines are used for this purpose, from which they abstract in the excited triplet state a hydrogen atom and thus form the active starter radical.
Of the large number of known photoinitiators, the hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiators, such as are described in German Patent Specification 2,722,264 and European Patent Specification 3002, have proven to be particularly advantageous, in particular because of their high reactivity, but also because of the excellent storage stability in the dark of the irradiation-curable systems to which they have been added and because the films cured therewith have little tendency to yellow. However, these compounds absorb predominantly in the medium to lower UV wavelength region and are, therefore, less favorable for pigmented systems. Especially in systems pigmented by means of titanium dioxide, a large proportion of the active wavelength is absorbed by the pigment, so that higher initiator concentrations and/or additional spectral sensitizers must be used.
Thioxanthone photoinitiators absorb in the higher wavelength region of the UV, in particular also in an "absorption window" of titanium dioxide, so that they are predestined especially in this regard for use in systems pigmented with titanium dioxide. However, thioxanthones have the disadvantage that they are predominantly sparingly soluble and only sufficiently active in combination with coinitiators. Moreover, systems containing thioxanthone/amine mixtures have a very strong tendency to yellow, which is very undesirable, especially in white-pigmented systems.
Mixtures of hydroxyalkylphenones and thioxanthones have proven to be more favorable for pigmented systems. The higher reactivity of this type of mixtures compared with the pure hydroxyalkylphenones is probably due to a certain spectral sensitization in the longer wavelength region, which is caused by the thioxanthone.
However, in many cases, the known photoinitiators and photoinitiator combinations do not sufficiently fulfill the increased demands made on them today.
It was, therefore, an object of this invention to find and provide more efficient photoinitiators, which are also suitable in particular for pigmented systems.
Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
It has now been found that above objects can be met in every respect by compounds of the formula I ##STR2## in which
R1 is hydrogen, halogen, C1-6 -alkyl, C1-6 -alkoxy, C1-6 -alkylthio, NO2
R2 is COO-(CH2)m -X or X-(CH2)m -Y-CO-(CH2)n -X, where X is O, S and Y is 0, NH, m is a number from 2 to 10 and n is a number from 1 to 10
R3, R4, independently of one another, are each H, C1-12 -alkyl, C2-12 -alkenyl or together C2-6 -alkylene
R5 is OR6, N(R6)2, ##STR3## SO2 R7, OSO2 R7
R6 is H, C1-6 -alkyl or C1-6 -alkanoyl
R7 is C1-6 -alkyl or phenyl or benzyl which is unsubstituted or in each case substituted by halogen, C1-6 -alkyl or C1-6 -alkoxy.
The invention accordingly relates to compounds of the formula I.
The invention further relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I as photoinitiators for the photopolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds or of binder systems containing them.
Moreover, the invention relates to photopolymerization binder systems containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated photopolymerizable compound and, if necessary, further known and customary additives, which in addition contain at least one compound of the formula I as photoinitiator.
The invention finally provides a process for the preparation of an irradiation-cured coating on a substrate, in which this substrate is coated by means of a photopolymerizable binder system containing at least one compound of the formula I as photoinitiator and the curing is carried out by irradiation with UV light of a wavelength between 250 and 450 nm.
The compounds of the formula I are new. They are photoinitiators having a molecular structure which is a combination of two different photoinitiator basic structural types, namely of the thioxanthone type on the one hand and of the type of α-substituted alkylphenones on the other.
In formula I, a thioxanthone radical, which may carry a substituent R1, which can be halogen, such as, in particular, chlorine, C1-6 -alkyl, C1-6 -alkoxy, C1-6 -alkylthio or NO2, is linked to the aromatic ring of an α-substituted alkylphenone radical via a bridge grouping R2. The linkage of the bridge grouping R2 to the thioxanthone structural unit can take place in the 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-position, preferably in the 1-, 2- or 3-position, in particular in the 1- or 3-position . In the alkylphenone radical, the substituents R3 and R4 on the carbon atom which is in the α-position relative to the carbonyl group can be hydrogen, C1-12 -alkyl, C2-12 -alkenyl or together C2-6 -alkylene. Preferably, R3 and R4 are each methyl. The substituent R5 can be a hydroxyl, a C1-6 -alkoxy, a C1-6 alkanoyl group, a dialkylamino or dialkanoylamino group in which the alkyl and alkanoyl groups can each have up to 6 carbon atoms, an N-piperidino, an N-piperazino or an N-morpholino group. Preferred photoinitiator structural units are those in which R� is a hydroxyl or N-morpholino group. Photoinitiator structural units of the hydroxyalkylphenone type are particularly preferred. The bridge groupings R2 can be alkylene groups and grouping consisting of alkylene groups linked by means of ester or amide groups, which in turn are linked to the photoinitiator structural units via carboxyl, oxygen or sulfur atoms. Preferred bridge groupings are carbonyloxyethyleneoxy, carbonyloxyethylenethio, oxymethylenecarbonyloxyethylenethio and oxymethylenecarbonylamidoethylenethio groups.
Typical examples of compounds of the formula I are 1-(1-thioxanthonylcarbonyloxy)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)-propanoylphenoxy]ethane ##STR4## 1-(1-thioxanthonylcarbonyloxy)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)-propanoylphenylthio]ethane ##STR5## 1-(1-thioxanthonylcarbonyloxy)-2-[4-(2-N-morpholino-2-methyl)propanoylphenoxy]ethane ##STR6## 1-(1-thioxanthonylcarbonyloxy)-2-[4-(2-N-morpholino-2-methyl)propanoylphenylthio]ethane ##STR7##1-(3-thioxanthonylthio)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)propanoylphenoxymethylenecarbonyloxy]ethane ##STR8## 1-(3-thioxanthonylthio)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)propanoylphenoxymethylenecarbonylamido]ethane ##STR9##
The compounds of the formula I are prepared by means of customary reactions, such as, in particular, esterification reactions, from appropriately functionalized derivatives of the underlying thioxanthone and alkylphenone units.
The conditions of these reactions are as usual and can be found in the standard works of preparative organic chemistry, e.g. HOUBEN-WEYL, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), GeorgThieme Verlag, Stuttgart or ORGANIC SYNTHESIS, J. Wiley, New York, London, Sydney.
The preferred functionalized derivatives of the photoinitiator basic structures are those which already contain in the molecule the eventual bridge grouping R2 or the corresponding precursors or partial structures thereof. The corresponding compounds are thioxanthone or alkylphenone derivatives which contain, for instance, hydroxyethoxy, hydroxyethylthio, hydroxycarbonyl or hydroxycarbonylmethyleneoxy groups. Functionalized photoinitiator derivatives of this type have been described in detail in German Patent Applications P 3,707,891 and P 3,738,567 (U.S. Pat. Appln. Ser. No. 167,060). Thus, for example, the compounds Ia to Id can be obtained by reaction of thioxanthone-1-carboxylic acid with hydroxyethoxy or hydroxyethylthio derivatives of the corresponding alkylphenones or their methosulfates. The compounds Ie and If are obtained by reaction of 3-hydroxyethoxy- or 3-hydroxyethylthiothioxanthone or their methosulfates with hydroxycarbonylethyleneoxy-functionalized alkylphenones.
The photoinitiators according to the invention having a combined structure can be very advantageously used as photoinitiators for the photopolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds or of binder systems containing them. Predominantly, they serve analogously to conventional photoinitiators as UV curing agents for paint or polymer coatings and printing inks based on UV curable binder or hybrid binder systems, which may also be present in the form of aqueous dispersions. They are applied in the usual manner, such that the amounts added to the binder systems are, as a rule, 0.1 to 20 % by weight, preferably 1 to 10 % by weight. This addition is usually carried out by stirring them directly into the binder system, if necessary, with the additional use of a minor amount of a compatible solvent. In this respect the compounds of the formula I display very favorable properties with respect to their solubility and homogeneous miscibility with virtually all customary irradiation-curable systems and also with respect to the storage stability in the dark of the systems to which they have been added.
A particular advantage is the surprisingly high reactivity of the photoinitiators according to the invention having a combined structure compared with the corresponding underlying photoinitiator types and their mixtures. This is especially also true for pigmented systems. Thus, if the compounds of the formula I are used in equivalent amounts and under comparable curing conditions, higher layer hardnesses can be obtained compared with mixtures of thioxanthone and hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiators. One possible explanation is that a direct sensitizing and/or coinitiating interaction between the different initiator groups may occur as a result of the sterically close fixation in the molecule.
A photopolymerizable binder system is usually understood to mean a mixture containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound photopolymerizable by free radicals and, if necessary, further conventional additives. Suitable components polymerizable by free radicals are virtually all materials which have olefinically unsaturated double bonds. They can be in particular monomers, oligomers and polymers each having at least one or, advantageously, several unsaturated functions of the acrylate or vinyl type. The corresponding materials are known to one skilled in the art in large numbers. Examples of these types of compounds are acrylic compounds, in particular acrylates of aliphatic and aromatic monoor polyhydroxy compounds, such as, for example, (meth)acrylic acid, including their salts and amides, (meth)acrylonitrile, alkyl (meth)acrylates, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, vinyl (meth)acrylate, ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, 1,6-hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, furthermore vinyl compounds such as, for example, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, divinylbenzene, N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinylcarbazole. Examples of higher-molecular-weight and polymeric binder components are acrylated polyester, acrylate, epoxy, urethane, polyamide and silicone resins. Predominantly, irradiation-curable binder systems are mixtures of several of the lower-molecular-weight and higher-molecular-weight unsaturated components.
Hybrid binder systems additionally contain, apart from these, components which can be crosslinked thermally, for example by polycondensation or polyaddition, but not by free radicals. Examples of these are acid-curable melamine resins and polyurethane- or polyester-forming reactive resins.
The irradiation-curable binder systems can also be present in the form of aqueous dispersions, the water content of which is usually removed after the completion of the coating by heating for a short time.
The binder systems curable by means of the compounds of the formula I as photoinitiators can be varied in their qualitative and quantitative compositions over a wide range and can also contain in particular further components and additives. Advantageously, the content of reactive components should not be less than 10 % by weight. Further components and additives in the amounts which are appropriate and customary for the particular purpose can be inorganic and organic pigments, dyes, fillers, flow-improving agents, surface-active agents, light stabilizers and antioxidants, thixotropic agents, delustering agents, plasticizers, solvents, dispersants, further binders and resins, other photoinitiators, spectral sensitizers and coinitiators of known types, further thermal reactive or photoreactive radical initiators and cation- or acid-forming catalysts.
The binder systems mentioned can be cured according to the invention by means of the compounds of the formula I by exposing them to radiation energy, in particular from the UV wavelength region. In certain cases, especially in the case of hybrid binder systems, it is advantageous to promote the curing process by simultaneous or subsequent application of thermal energy.
The photopolymerization is carried out by methods known per se by irradiation with light or UV radiation of the wavelength region of 250-450nm, preferably 300-400 nm. The radiation sources used can be the customary mercury vapor high-pressure, mercury vapor medium-pressure or mercury vapor low-pressure lamps and xenon and tungsten lamps.
The photopolymerization using the photoinitiator according to the invention having a combined structure can be carried out either batchwise or continuously. The irradiation time depends on the type of procedure, the type and amount of the polymerizable materials used, the type and concentration of the photoinitiators used and the intensity of the light sources. In the irradiation curing of coatings, it is usually in the range from a few seconds to minutes.
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention are preferably used as photoinitiators in the UV-curing of thin films such as, for example, paint coatings on all customary materials and substrates. These can predominantly be paper, wood, textile substrates, plastic and metal. Another important area of application is the drying or curing of printing inks and screen-printing materials, the latter of which are preferably used in the surface coating or surface design of, for example, cans, tubes and metal screw-caps.
Their easy availability and their excellent properties in industrial application, in particular their high reactivity in pigmented systems, render the photoinitiators according to the invention having a combined structure particularly valuable for the practical application.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.

Client side part of PlayRTC
Start your room-based real time app (WebRTC Data Channel & WebSocket) in minutes with Play Framework 2.2
PlayRTC gives you out-of-the-box rooms where members can send P2P messages to each other via WebRTC SCTP Data Channels, and communicate with the server via Websocket. It also provides automatic heartbeats.
The P2P topology is for now * to * (every member is connected to every member). However you can build a custom topology (an overlay network) on top of this. A future version may allow to define a custom topology before the P2P connection part to avoid establishing useless P2P connections.
You need to include
playrtc.js (or
playrtc.min.js) which exposes a global
Playrtc object. You can find it in
client/ (a Bower and NPM/Browserify version will be available soon).
It depends on backbone-events-standalone, so make sure to include
backbone-events-standalone.js too.
var io = Playrtcconnect'ws://<your_websocket_endpoint>';var p2p = iop2p;var server = ioserver;
p2p and
server are Event Emitters extending the Backbone.Events model. Take a look there to see all the methods that you can use with a Backbone event emitter.
Playrtc.connect(wsEndpoint, config) can optionally take a
config object.
config.webrtcConfig allows to define a custom Webrtc config (default to
{'iceServers': [{'url': 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'}]}).
Playrtc.isCompatible() return true if the browser is compatible with SCTP Data Channels.
io is an event emitter object that emits all the room-related control events.
ioon'ready' // Connected to the server and to every other members (P2P connection phase finished) trace'My id: ' + ioid; trace'Other members: ' + iomembers; // Array of other member ids ; ioon'newmember' trace'New member: ' + id;; ioon'memberleft' trace'Member left: ' + id;;
io.id is the member id (string).
io.members is an array of the other room member ids
server is an event emitter object that emits events (messages) coming from the server.
server.send(eventName, data) allows to send a message to the server.
ioon'ready' serversend'ping' 'msg': 'pingmsg';; serveron'pong' trace'Server Pong msg: ' + datamsg;;
p2p is an event emitter object that emits events (messages) coming from peers.
p2p.send(peerId, eventName, data) allows to send a P2P message to a peer.
p2p.broadcast(eventName, data) allows to broadcast a P2P message to all other room members.
ioon'ready' p2pbroadcast'ping' 'msg': 'pingmsg';; p2pon'ping' trace'P2P ping msg from ' + from +': ' + datamsg; var to = from; p2psendto 'pong' 'msg': 'pongmsg';; p2pon'pong' trace'P2P pong msg from ' + from +': ' + datamsg;;
Take a look at main.js in the example app folder for an all-together example.
The server side code is heavily inspired by play-actor-room. PlayRTC was originally on top of it, but as I found myself re-writing many internal stuffs to adapt it to PlayRTC, I eventually ended up re-writing the code parts of play-actor-room that PlayRTC is using.
As in play-actor-room, each member is represented by 2 actors: a receiver and a sender. For each room there is 1 supervisor which is the parent of the receivers and senders of the members of this room.
Add the following resolver and library to your build.sbt:
resolvers += "Atamborrino repository snapshots" at "https://github.com/atamborrino/maven-atamborrino/raw/master/snapshots/"libraryDependencies += "com.github.atamborrino" %% "playrtc" % "0.1-SNAPSHOT"
Then, you must define a receiver to handle incoming messages:
import com.github.atamborrino.playrtc._ class MyReceiver(id: String) extends Receiver(id) { import context._ def customReceive: Receive = { case Ready => // Member of id = this.id is connected to every other members via Data Channels Logger.info(s"Member of id = $id is ready") // do some initialization server side... case Msg("ping", data: JsValue) => val maybePong = (data \ "msg").asOpt[String] map { pingmsg => val pongdata = Json.obj("msg" -> "pongmsg") Msg("pong", pongdata) } maybePong.foreach(parent ! Send(id, _)) case Msg("processThenBroadcast", dataToProcess: JsObject) => // process dataToProcess server side... val processed = Msg("broadcastedFromServer", Json.obj("processedData" -> "processed data")) parent ! Broadcast(processed) // Broadcast to every member (including ourself) } override def receive = customReceive orElse super.receive // don't forget this ! override def postStop() { // Disconnection... } }
A receiver can also ask his supervisor for the list of room members
parent ! ListMembersIdsand he will receive a message of type
MemberIds(ids: Seq[String]).
Heartbeats' interval and delay are respectively 7 seconds and 3 seconds. You can change them by overriding their values in your receiver actor:
import scala.concurrent.duration._ override val HB_INTERVAL = 10 secondsoverride val HB_DELAY = 5 seconds
To connect everything, you just need to create your websocket endpoint in a Play controller. Example when the app contains only one room:
val uniqueRoom = Room() def websocket = WebSocket.using { req => val userid = // generate user id uniqueRoom.websocket[MyReceiver](userid)}
websocket[MyReceiver](userid) returns a
(Iteratee[JsValue, Unit], Enumerator[JsValue]). Note that if you want to use custom Props, you can use
websocket(userid, myReceiverProps).
But your app usually needs several rooms. To do this you can for example create an actor that stores a map of roomId -> room, and then ask him for the room of id = roomdId. In thise case you will retrieve a room asynchronously:
def websocket(roomId: String) = WebSocket.async { req => val futureRoom = // ask for the room of id = roomId val userid = // generate user id futureRoom.map(_.websocket[MyReceiver](userid))}
That's it! A fully-implemented example app is located in the example folder.
Note that if you need more customization, you can override the Supervisor:
class MySupervisor extends Supervisor { def customReceive = { case CustomMsg => // Your custom msg, sent from a receiver for example sender ! CustomMsgAnswer // send an answer to the receiver case Broadcast(msg) => val newMsg = // modify original msg readyMembers foreach { // readyMembers is a Map[String, Member] (id -> member) case (id, member) => member.sender ! Send(id, newMsg) } } override def receive = customReceive orElse super.receive}
To use your new Supervisor, just pass it as a parameter when your create a Room:
val room = Room(Props[MySupervisor])

They are when the egg is considered more dangerous than an assault rifle to the US government
#682 to #675 - teamrocketninja (04/22/2013) [-]
Dangerous for entirely different reasons. The egg is considered to normally be used by children, and is banned for choking hazards and possible lead paint usage. The gun is assumed to be bought and handled by adults, 99.99% of which are going to use it responsibly.
#698 to #682 - lordmoldywart (04/22/2013) [-]
A gun has one sole purpose, to kill. You can't justify not banning a gun, but instead banning a chocolate egg, which with some minor changes changes can be made entirely safe
#711 to #698 - teamrocketninja (04/22/2013) [-]
Yes, guns are designed to kill. But who are what or even if they kill is entirely up to the user. Back to the original point: they are two completely different items made for completely unrelated purposes and cannot logically be compared to one another, as they have vastly different uses and users.
#721 to #711 - lordmoldywart (04/22/2013) [-]
Even though you make sound points, you do realise that you're making yourself out to be someone that believes chocolate eggs are more dangerous than guns right?
#725 to #721 - teamrocketninja (04/22/2013) [-]
Not necessarily. I never said I support the eggs being banned. I think thats a stupid and foolish ban and that almost any child would know how to eat candy without dying.

What is the best way to get from monterossa al mare to Venice?
What is the best way to get from monterossa al mare to Venice?
I would take the IC train that goes North along the coast to Genoa and on to Milan. It leaves Monterosso mid- morning. Mat Milan you change for a fast train to Venice. I'll bet Ken or someone else can give the exact details and other options.
Thank you. That's what I thought by looking at the train map. If anyone else other suggestions, I welcome them.
The trip described by Sasha is one of three ways by train to get to Venezia Santa Lucia from the CT. Your routing is CT/Genoa/Milan/Venice with the last of the 2-3 trains being a high-speed. Very nice run. The fastest way is via La Spezia Centrale/Florence and high-speed to Venice. The third way is a bit slower and goes via Parma and Bologna before getting on a high-speed to Venice. Here's a link to a very small sample of runs from the CT to Venice. http://gyazo.com/577ee30934614f0ac0136044027f73b7

I was randomly bitten by a radioactive bat in Smallville that gave me superpowers and revealed to me that I am a mutant, martian, atlantian, amazon, super soldier, kryptonian, asgardian, and a ninja. From then on I went to Invisibility school to learn to become invisible where I was the only student (I think, maybe everyone else was just better than me). Midyear I switched schools to go to The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters where I was put on my first team The New Teen Justice Avengers until I left the team when my powers went away. For a while I went to Canada where a protected a girl from her Evil Exboyfriends and fell in love with Canadian maple syrup on my waffles. Until I was killed by Doomsday who beat my with a crowbar and shot me in the back, crippling me. However, in Soul Society I became a Soul Reaper. But to stop Aizen I had to give up my powers. I spent a month with a normal life as the CEO of Wayne Industries Corp when I was chosen to be a green lantern. Unfortunately, I was kicked out when I made a comment asking why they where tiny masks to keep a secret identity when the are in space going from planet to planet. Afterwards I joined The Gold Lantern Corp whose power ran on Awesomeness and could absorb energy and surf to the internet mentally. I then took the new name The Almighty Captain Awesomeness Lord of the Cool and mentored Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, and TIm Drake (not because they were orphans or had powers I just thought it was cool to have a first name as a last name). I created different bases including The Baxter Watchtower, The Mansion of Solitude, and the Avenger Cave. To get to each place I used my Invisible Batmobile to travel around in style (of course no when knew because it was invisible). One point a boy from the future with a special ring, super speed, and a sword who called himself Future Impulsive Booster Trunks Gold who saved my life from the return of Doomsday and his new partner Apocalypse. Together Future Impulsive Booster Trunks Gold, my Robins, and I defeated them at the cost that I had to eat Twix bars to survive. To find more we journeyed to find the dragon balls to wish for some where we met up with my pets Krypto the Nyan Cat and Bat Cow. After eating a certain amount of twix bars and waffles I regained all of my past powers and ditched Earth to go be awesome in Space. But after meeting Darth Vader I decided to train to become a Jedi to stop him. After all did you really think a dork like Luke could have stopped him? Now I am currently fighting Vader while using my internet surfing powers so people know my story if I die. So farewell as I kick some sith lord @$$

We chose to have a quick meal at Lynch's, which was a bakery/cafe style place with friendly staff and table service.
Favorite Dish: We just had some sandwiches on nice freshly baked bread.
Not the greatest meal ever, but quite cheap.

I won't lie I've never liked these trucks. I think they look cool, but the 2 wheel drive and the skimpy looking chassis wasn't for me. After taking a closer look at it and getting all the details in, I kind of like it.
This thread is for what you like about the truck, and what you think could be better. Not "I HATE IT ITS STUPID." That's very nice of you, my 7 year old cousin says stuff like that.
So tell us, what do you think?

Earlier this week I wrote about five major technologies that should have had real impacts in education this year, but which never amounted to much. I called more than one of them out a year ago, when all signs pointed to their potential for disruption and transformation in 2011. I can't resist giving it another shot this year, though. Here are my top 5 predictions for the state of the art in Ed Tech in the coming year.
Analytics and BI will go mainstream In a former life, I was a SAS programmer doing data management and statistical analysis for clinical trials. SAS is still going strong in large-scale, mission critical statistical programming, but much of its business focus is now on analytics and business intelligence (BI). IBM just launched an initiative to promote education, training, and research at the university level in the fields. For those not familiar with them, BI and BA apply complex business rules and enable decision-making based on the analysis of very large data stores.
Both companies (and many others, although SAS and IBM are arguably the market leaders) have products geared towards making these tools available, relevant, and usable in the education space, where the amount of data we now collect on our students is growing exponentially, both because of federal and state requirements and because most educators realize that data-driven instruction is a powerful tool for improving outcomes. In education, these tools can pick out at-risk students based on wide-ranging data before they ever hit the radar of a guidance counselor.
The data are in place, the technologies are in place, and NCLB and RTTP have conditioned educators to think about data (no matter what else, good or bad, you may think of them). 2012 will see an explosion in the real use of analytics to assist schools and districts in improving quality and outcomes. I'm not talking about reviewing yearly standardized test scores here. I'm talking about the confluence of formative and summative assessments, demographic data, and many other bits of information, all of which are now available electronically and ready to be mined. It's worth noting that EDUCAUSE was filled with vendors holding up the latest and greatest tools for data mining, aggregation, management, and analysis and Oracle resorted to showgirls standing next to geeks demoing software at both BBWorld and EDUCAUSE.
Google's tablet will NOT be the holy grail of 1:1 A reader emailed me the other day and asked me if I thought that Google's tablet, expected for release before fall 2012, would finally make tablet-based 1:1 initiatives a reality. The answer was no. Although I'm sure the tablets will be great pieces of hardware and software and I'm sure that I'll get one, the predicted $500 price point is just too high. Sure, Google Apps integration will be very strong, as will the management features that go with it, but at that price, you could have an iPad.
While I'm not saying that iPads are better for education than other tablets, I am saying that they have a major foothold in the growing market. Even iPads, though, are only making it into well-funded districts at scale. The only thing that could disrupt the current market and current trends in 1:1 would be a very inexpensive tablet (

Warrington Central is part of the Northern BCU
I am Inspector Neil Drum, the Neighbourhood Inspector

stationed at Warrington (Arpley Street), Risley, Widnes and
Wilmslow Police stations.
I began my police service as a Constable stationed at Arpley

therefore very pleased when I was appointed, in 2012, to lead

committed to continuing to develop the strong links my officers
have within the communities we serve and working with partners to

I would encourage you to come forward and let us know about the
issues and concerns affecting you and your communities so that we
can seek to identify community priorities and address those issues,
furthermore If you have any information regarding those engaged in
criminal activities or Anti-Social Behaviour in your community then
I urge you to report this to us.
You can do this in a number of ways, for example contacting us
by phone on 101 (or 999 in an emergency), speaking with your local
officer, attending a local police engagement meeting, visiting the
Police Station or, anonymously, by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800
555 1111. You can also email the NPU with non- urgent queries on
By working together we can make a difference and continue to
make our communities safe and feel safe.
Please follow us on Twitter @WarrCentralNPU to get updates from

Originally written on Bucs Beat | Last updated 10/27/11
One of the mystifying aspects of last Sunday's Buccaneers loss to the Bears was the very minimal use of receiver Arrelious Benn. The 2010 second-round pick finished without a catch for the first time in 19 games and was targeted just one time in the 24-18 loss in London. That was largely because he simply wasn't on the field much, surprising given his big-play ability. Dezmon Briscoe instead took the majority of the reps at flanker, with Mike Williams -- per usual -- playing split end on the opposite side. So, what is going on here? Let me attempt to offer some insight. I asked Benn this week how the reps at flanker were being divided. He offered the following explanation: "When Earnest (Graham) went down, we only had one back," he said. "Then (fullback Erik) Lorig got hurt. So, then our base personnel was kind of out of the question. We had to go with our three-wide receiver set. Briscoe is the starting Z (that's the flanker) in that (lineup). You put the best guys on the field and...
