A lack of consensus persists regarding the origin of photoluminescence in silicon nanocrystals. Here we report pressure-dependences of X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence from alkane-terminated colloidal particles. We determine the diamond-phase bulk modulus, observe multiple phase transitions, and importantly find a systematic photoluminescence red shift that matches the Xconduction-to-Γvalence transition of bulk crystalline silicon. These results, reinforced by calculations, suggest that the efficient photoluminescence, frequently attributed to defects, arises instead from core-states that remain highly indirect despite quantum confinement.
(20) Electron Tomography and 3D Molecular Simulations of Platinum Nanocrystals
I. Florea, A. Demortière, C. Petit, H. Bulou, C. Hirlimann, O. Ersen, Nanoscale, 2012, 4, 5125-5131.
This work reports on the morphology of individual platinum nanocrystals with sizes of about 5 nm. By using the electron tomography technique that gives 3D spatial selectivity, access to quantitative information in the real space was obtained. The morphology of individual nanoparticles was characterized using HAADF-STEM tomography and it was shown to be close to a truncated octahedron. Using molecular dynamics simulations, this geometrical shape was found to be the one minimizing the nanocrystal energy. Starting from the tomographic reconstruction, 3D crystallographic representations of the studied Pt nanocrystals were obtained at the nanometer scale, allowing the quantification of the relative amount of the crystallographic facets present on the particle surface.

Shape of colloidal metal NCs (NCs) appears to play an important role in their chemical and catalytic properties, because the electronic properties and surface atomic arrangement are mainly determinated by the crystal morphology. Furthermore, hierarchical nanostructures generated by directed- or self-assembly of NCs having a specific shape are dependent of the crystal anisotropy. Indeed, the morphology can strongly influences both the interactions between NCs and the packing of NCs considered as building units of the superstructures. Despite the large amount of work published on the preparation, characterization and use of NCs, many questions are still opened which are essentially related to the parameters controlling their growth and shape. The control of these parameters is crucial in order to design an optimal route for preparation of non-spherical metal nanoparticles. One problem closely related to particles with diameters of a few nanometers is how to limit their tendency to agglomerate. Agglomeration can take place into the colloidal dispersion, as well as during the deposition onto a surface, yielding misshapen bulk materials. Use of a capping agent, which has a terminal functional group that binds strongly to the nanoparticle surface, is one strategy to prevent agglomeration and to control the shape of the colloidal NCs. Indeed, the coating agent, either physically or chemically bond to the crystalline surface, impacts the growth process, the final shape, the stability and finally, the properties of the individual nanoparticles.
(18) Colloidal Nanocube Supercrystals Stabilized by Multipolar Coulombic Coupling
H. Chan, A. Demortière, L. Vukovic, P. Kral, C. Petit, 2012, ACS Nano, 6 (5), pp 4203–4213.
We explore microscopic principles governing the self-assembly of colloidal octylamine-coated platinum nanocubes solvated in toluene. Our experiments show that regular nanocubes with an edge length of lRC = 5.5 nm form supercrystals with simple cubic packing, while slightly truncated nanocubes with an edge length of lTC = 4.7 nm tend to arrange in fcc packing. We model by averaged force fields and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations the coupling forces between these nanocrystals. Our detailed analysis shows that the fcc packing, which for cubes has a lower density than simple cubic packing, is favored by the truncated nanocubes due to their Coulombic coupling by multipolar electrostatic fields, formed during charge transfer between the octylamine ligands and the Pt cores.
(17) 3D Quantitative Analysis of Platinum Nanocrystals Superlattices by Electron Tomography
I. Florea, A. Demortière, C. Petit, H. Bulou, C. Hirlimann, O. Ersen, ACS Nano, 2012, 6 (3), pp 2574–2581.
The work reported herein focuses on the 3D relative arrangement of individual platinum nanocrystals with a size of about 5 nm, and on the structure of the superlattices, they spontaneously form. Electron tomography was systematically used in this study because it allows obtaining quantitative 3D information in real space. Performing tomography in the bright-field TEM mode allowed investigating the short and long-range orderings of the nanoparticles packed as self-organized supercrystals. Systematic fcc pilings were observed with a mean lattice parameter measured to be 19.5 nm, the nature of the arrangement being controlled by the truncated octahedral morphology of platinum nanocrystals and the associated steric effects. A numerical 3D quantitative analysis of the ordering characteristics of the superlattice with a nanometer resolution has been performed that, for the first time, showed a direct correlation between single entities' characteristics and their ordering in periodic arrays. It has been shown that the lattice parameter is different in two orthogonal directions of the fcc structure, which indicates the presence of a slightly compressed superlattice. Inside the superstructure, vacancies and axial defects were observed that would blur the occurrence of potential collective effects from the supercrystals.

Nanocrystals of different metals with sizes of 2–6 nm are deposited on graphene, carbon nanotubes, or amorphous carbon films. Irradiation with a highly focused electron beam is used to split clusters of a few metal atoms (<1 nm in diameter) from the crystals. The metal clusters follow the electron beam spot on the graphitic surface when the beam is slowly deflected away from the clusters. This unusual behaviour of metals on graphitic surfaces is explained in terms of electron beam-induced activation of the graphitic surfaces and covalent bonding between metal and carbon atoms. The technique might be applicable in (sub-)nanometre structuring of graphene with metal dots.
(15) Orienting the Demixion of a Diblock-copolymer Using 193 nm Interferometric Lithography for the Controlled Deposition of Nanoparticles. A. Dirani, F. Stehlin, I. Dika, A. Spangenberg, N.

DUV interferometric lithography and diblock copolymer self-organization have successfully been combined to provide a simple and highly collective nanopatterning technique enabling the organization of nanoparticles over several orders of magnitude, from nanometre to millimetre. The nanostructural changes at the surface of the polymer film after thermal annealing have been monitored by AFM and the process parameters optimized for obtaining a long-range organization of the lamellar domains. In particular, the impact of the annealing conditions and geometric parameters of the substrate patterns have been investigated. The nanopatterns resulting from the lamellar demixion of (PS-b-MMA) were used for a controlled deposition of nanoparticles. The affinity of the hydrophobic particles for the PS block was demonstrated, opening new doors towards the preparation of high-density arrays of nanoparticles with potential applications in data storage.
(14) Using Shape to Control Photoluminescence from CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Nanorods
C. She, A. Demortière, E. V. Shevchenko, M. Pelton, Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2011, 2 (12), pp 1469–1475
CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods can exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields, but it is not yet clear what processes determine the yields and how they can be controlled. Moreover, the effective band alignment between the core and the shell affects quantum yield, but its nature is still under debate. We systematically studied quantum yields when the shell is excited as a function of both core size and shell volume. Using time-resolved photoluminescence decay measurements and transient-absorption spectroscopy, we found that quantum yields are determined by a balance between radiative and nonradiative recombination rates, and not by single-carrier trapping. The radiative recombination rate decreases as the nanorod volume increases, independent of the core size. The results indicate that high quantum yields can be obtained only by limiting the size of the shell and point to an effective quasi-type-II band alignment for all of the nanorods in this study.

A. Garcia-Marquez, A. Demortière, B. Heinrich, D. Guillon, S. Bégin-Collin, Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2011, 21, 8994-8996
A hybrid polymeric network has been achieved by using pre-functionalized 3.3 nm diameter iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as cross-linkers to reticulate mesogenic linear oligomers. A room-temperature smectic mesophase is induced in the network embedding NPs, and the magnetic properties remain almost unchanged, despite substantial changes of the environment around the ferrite cores.
(12) Self-Assembled Au Nanoparticle Arrays with Engineered Hot Spots for Sensing Apllications
A. Chen, A. E. DePrince III, A. Demortière, A. Joashi-Imre, E. Shevchenko, S. K. Gray, U. Welp, and V. K. Vlasko-Vlasov, Small 2011, Volume 7, Issue 16, pages 2365–2371, 2011.
The cost-effective self-assembly of 80 nm Au nanoparticles (NPs) into large-domain, hexagonally close-packed arrays for high-sensitivity and high-fidelity surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is demonstrated. These arrays exhibit specific optical resonances due to strong interparticle coupling, which are well reproduced by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The gaps between NPs form a regular lattice of hot spots that enable a large amplification of both photoluminescence and Raman signals. At smaller wavelengths the hot spots are extended away from the minimum-gap positions, which allows SERS of larger analytes that do not fit into small gaps. Using CdSe quantum dots (QDs) a 3–5 times larger photoluminescence enhancement than previously reported is experimentally demonstrated and an unambiguous estimate of the electromagnetic SERS enhancement factor of ≈104 is obtained by direct scanning electron microscopy imaging of QDs responsible for the Raman signal. Much stronger enhancement of ≈108 is obtained at larger wavelengths for benzenethiol molecules penetrating the NP gaps.
(11) CoPt Magnetic Nanocrystals in the A1/L10 Transformation
Arnaud Demortière and Chritophe Petit, Journal Applied Physics 109, 084344 (2011)
CoPt magnetic nanocrystals have been synthesized in a range of size from 2 to 4 nm using a colloidal chemical synthetic method. As-synthesized nanocrystals exhibit an equiatomic composition and a crystalline phase of type alloy CoPt A1 disordered. The morphology and the magnetic properties were investigated for different crystal size. In order to reach the crystalline transition toward the L10 ordered phase, a thermal annealing has been carried out on CoPt nanocrystals of 4 nm. We showed that the use of HOPG substrate both limits the coalescence effects and promotes the structural ordering. The modification of the crystalline structure selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and the magnetic properties (superconducting quantum interference device) has been studied for different heat-treatment conditions. Ferromagnetic properties at room temperature were achieved for nanocrystals of 16 nm in average size with a coercivity of 4 kOe.
(10) High-Pressure Structural Stability and Elasticity of Supercrystals Self-Assembled from Nanocrystals
Paul Podsiadlo, Byeongdu Lee, Vitali B. Prakapenka, Galyna V. Krylova, Richard D. Schaller, Arnaud Demortière, and Elena V. Shevchenko, NanoLetters, 2011, 11 (2), pp 579–588
We report here combined quasi-hydrostatic high-pressure small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies on faceted 3D supercrystals (SCs) self-assembled from colloidal 7.0 nm spherical PbS nanocrystals (NCs). Diamond anvil cell (DAC) SAXS experiments in the pressure range from ambient to 12.5 GPa revealed nearly perfect structural stability of the SCs, with face-centered cubic organization of the NCs. Pressure-induced ordering (annealing effect) of the superstructure was observed. The ambient pressure bulk modulus of the SCs was calculated to be 5 GPa for compression and 14.5 GPa for decompression from fitting of Vinet and Birch−Murnaghan equations of state. XRD measurements revealed strong preferential crystallographic orientation of the NCs through all phase transformations to as high as 55 GPa without any indication of NC sintering. The first phase transition pressure of the NCs was found between 8.1 and 9.2 GPa and proceeds through homogeneous nucleation. Bulk modulus of PbS NCs was calculated to be 51 GPa based on fitting to the equations of state (KPbS,bulk 51−57 GPa). Closest surface-to-surface distance between the NCs in the SCs was calculated based on combined XRD and SAXS data, to reversibly tune from 1.56 nm to 0.9−0.92 nm and back to 1.36 nm in the ambient−12.5 GPa−ambient pressure cycle. The bulk modulus of the ligand matrix was extrapolated to be 2.2−2.95 GPa. These results show a general method of tuning NC interactions in packed nanoparticle solids.
(9) Size-Dependent Properties of Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanocrystals
A. Demortière, P. Panissod, B.P. Pichon, G. Pourroy, D. Guillon, B. Donnio, S. Bégin-Colin, Nanoscale 2011, 3, 225-232.
2.5 to 14 nm) allows us to investigate accurately the size-dependence of their structural and magnetic properties. A study of the growth conditions of these nanocrystals obtained by thermal decomposition of an iron oleate precursor in high-boiling point solvents has been carried out. Both the type of solvent used and the ligand/precursor ratio have been systematically varied, and were found to be the key parameters to control the growth process. The lattice parameters of all the nanocrystals deduced from X-ray diffraction measurements are consistent with a structure of the type Fe3−xO4, i.e. intermediate between magnetite and maghemite, which evolves toward the maghemite structure for the smallest sizes (x = 1/3). The evolution of the magnetic behavior with nanoparticle sizes emphasizes clearly the influence of the surface, especially on the saturation magnetization Ms and the magneto-crystalline anisotropy K. Dipolar interactions and thermal dependence have been also taken into account in the study on the nanoscale size-effect of magnetic properties.
(8) Multicomponent Periodic Nanoparticles Superlattices
P. Podsiadlo, G.V. Krylova, A. Demortière, E.V. Shevchenko, Journal of Nanoparticle Research 2010, Volume 13, Number 1, 15-32.
In this article, we review the state-of-the-art in the preparation and characterization of multicomponent self-assembled superlattices of colloidal nanoparticles with core sizes in the range of 2–20 nm and interparticle spacing less than 2 nm down to intimate contact stemming from sintering. Several aspects of the field are discussed, including: structural organization, the role of particle size distribution, key interparticle forces at play, and methods of investigation of the structures. Contrary to the extensively studied colloidal crystals composed of microscale particles, the nanoparticles possess unique size-dependent properties, such as electronic, optical, or magnetic, which when combined into periodic structures can potentially lead to new collective states stemming from precise positioning of the nanocolloids. As such, we examine a number of emerging applications of this new class of metamaterials. Finally, we speculate on the potential impact of these materials, the new directions, and the challenges for the researchers.
(7) Nematic-like Organization of Magnetic Mesogen-Hybridized Nanoparticles
A. Demortière, S. Buathong, B.P. Pichon, P. Panissod, D. Guillon, S. Bégin-Colin, B. Donnio, Small 2010, 6, 12, 1341-1346.
A fluid nematic-like phase is induced in monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles with a diameter of 3.3 nm. This supramolecular arrangement is governed by the covalent functionalization of the nanoparticle surface with cyanobiphenyl-based ligands as mesogenic promoters. The design and synthesis of these hybrid materials and the study of their mesogenic properties are reported. In addition, the modifications of the magnetic properties of the hybridized nanoparticles are investigated as a function of the different grafted ligands. Owing to the rather large interparticular distances (about 7 nm), the dipolar interaction between nanoparticles is shown to play only a minor role. Conversely, the surface magnetic anisotropy of the particles is significantly affected by the surface derivatization.
(6) Composition study of CoPt bimetallic nanocrystals of 2 nm
A. Demortière, R. Losno, C. Petit and J.-P. Quisefit, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2010 Volume 397, Number 4, 1485-1491.
The synthesis of bimetallic alloy nanocrystals with a well-controlled relative composition is a real challenge and requires chemical analysis techniques with high accuracy. A new chemical route has been used to synthesize cobalt–platinum nanocrystals of 2-nm diameter in a wide range of relative stoichiometry. A study of the elemental composition of the nanoalloy was carried out by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. We have developed a set-up for XRF analysis using a silicon wafer as a support to determine the elemental composition with only a small amount of sample. The calibration step and the measurement capabilities are described. In a composition range of 25–75% cobalt, the results of both analytical methods are discussed and compared in detail.
(5) 2D Assembling of Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Promoted by SAMs Used as Well-Addressed Surfaces
B.P. Pichon, A. Demortière, M. Pauly, K. Mougin, A. Derory, S. Bégin-Colin, Journal of Physical Chemistry C,2010 114 (19), 9041-9048.
Well-addressed surfaces which consist of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules have been used to control the assembling of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with oleic acid molecules. The assembling occurs through interactions between the surface of NPs and specific functional terminal groups at the interface of the SAMs and the NP suspension. Polar head groups such as carboxylic acid and hydroxyl promote the assembling of NPs whereas nonpolar groups such as methylene avoid the assembling onto SAMs. The kinetics of the NP assembling is highly dependent on the polarity of terminal groups of the SAMs. Carboxylic acid groups have been shown to promote faster formation of a dense monolayer of NPs than hydroxyl groups. In addition, oleic acid used as a coating agent enables the high stability of the NP suspension and its concentration influences dramatically the kinetics of the assembling. The mechanism proceeds by a ligand exchange process between surfactant on the NP surface and terminal groups at the interface of the SAM with the suspension.
(4) Defect-induced junctions between single- or double-wall carbon nanotubes and metal crystals
J.A. Rodríguez-Manzo, A. Tolvanen, A.V. Krasheninnikov, K. Nordlund, A. Demortière and F. Banhart, Nanoscale, 2010, 2, 901 - 905.
Interfaces between the ends of single- or double-wall carbon nanotubes and metal crystals (Fe, Co, Pd, and Pt) are established by electron irradiation with nanometre precision at metal–nanotube contact areas. Calculations of the bonding energies at the metal–nanotube interfaces confirm that the formation of these covalent junctions is energetically favourable in the presence of a certain concentration of structural defects in the nanotubes. The process may be endothermic or exothermic in comparison with the unconnected configuration, but in either case atomic defects in carbon nanotubes are a necessary condition for joining them with metals.
(3) Large 2D monolayer assemblies of iron oxide nanocrystals by the Langmuir–Blodgett technique
M. Pauly, B. P. Pichon, A. Demortière, J. Delahaye, C. Leuvrey, G. Pourroy, and S. Bégin-Colin, Superlattices and Microstructures, 2009, 46, 1-2, 195-204.
Dense monolayer assemblies of iron oxide nanoparticles have been obtained on large areas using the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. The density and ordering of the film were found to depend on the quality of the nanoparticle suspensions, which should display monodisperse nanoparticles and no free molecules. A modification of nanocrystals magnetic properties was noticed between the random configuration (powder sample) and the assembly in monolayer (Langmuir–Blodgett). The organisation in film is suggested to induce an enhancement of magnetic interactions.
(2) Shape-Controlled Platinum Nanocubes and Their Assembly into 2D and 3D Superlattices
A. Demortière, P. Launois, N. Goubet, P.-A. Albouy and C. Petit, Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2008, 112 (46), pp 14583–14592.
Liquid−liquid phase transfer has been used to synthesize platinum nanocrystals with a cubic morphology. By finely tuning the parameters controlling the nucleation and growth processes, nanometric truncated cubes or perfect cubes may be obtained. To our knowledge, this is the first time such shapes are obtained with this procedure. The importance of both the length of the capping agent to control the growth process and the bromide anions as poison for the {111} facet is shown. The low degree of size polydispersity allows these nanocrystals to self-assemble with a long-range ordering in two-dimensional and three-dimensional supracrystals. According to the nanocrystal shape, simple cubic or face-centered cubic supracrystals are observed. It is remarkable to notice that well-faceted supracrystals with sizes on the order of 10 μm may be obtained.
(1) First Synthesis by Liquid−Liquid Phase Transfer of Magnetic CoPt Nanoalloys
A. Demortière and C. Petit, Langmuir, 2007, 23 (16), pp 8575–8584.
Controlled synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles with a well-known size and composition is always a challenge. A soft chemical synthesis was developed to obtain magnetic alloy nanocrystals with a high ability to control composition, size, and polydispersity. Cobalt−platinum alloy nanocrystals were synthesized using a colloidal approach by the liquid−liquid phase transfer method. Structural characterization using HRTEM and XRD was carried out on nanocrystals in the range of 25−75% cobalt composition, which indicated the formation of nanoalloy bimetallic CoxPt100-x. Adjusting the alkylamine capping agent and the kinetics of the reduction process allowed tuning of the size in the range of 1.8−4 nm while keeping an equiatomic composition. The narrow size distribution led to the possibility of inducing nanoparticle self-organization over a long range. The magnetic properties of the Co50Pt50 nanoalloy in the disordered face-centered cubic phase A1 were studied for different nanoparticle sizes.

Ruth Marcus ventures out of the Beltway (a grand idea, which she should encourage her colleagues to do more often) and reports back:
West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Douglas McKinney said he was unconcerned. "A minority of them have made their peace" with Obama, he said of Democrats who backed Clinton in the primary. "Obama's entirely too liberal. His positions on gun control and abortion are more than most people in West Virginia can overlook."
Indeed, hours of interviews with voters — outside the Wal-Mart in Mingo, up the road in Logan County, and north of Charleston in the swing county of Jackson — illustrate Obama's uphill climb and raise questions about similar voters in states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania. It does not take long to hear the worst rumors about Obama — or to wonder how the people repeating them would deal with the fact of an Obama presidency, if it comes to pass.
Yes, she finds some remarks on race and some suspicions that Obama might really be a Muslim after all. But maybe we should give these voters some credit. Obama is extreme on gun control and abortion. Are these voters' political antennae any less accurate than those of the punditocracy, which is convinced all those years Obama spent with Bill Ayers, ACORN, Rashid Khalidi, the Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund are meaningless? Who is more savvy — the fellow in West Virginia who thinks Obama is an ultra-liberal or the Colin Powells who are convinced Obama won't turn out anything like he's advertised himself to be?
If Obama is elected, we'll get a chance to find out. But one thing to keep in mind: people outside the Beltway are generally a whole lot better at figuring out when they are being sold a bill of goods. I think I'll put my money on McKinney's powers of observation over those of, say, Ken Adelman. The latter's crystal ball, after all, has been known to fog up.

I've already mentioned the Halabja chemical weapons attack once, but before this National Security Council statement goes down the memory hole, it's worth reproducing in full:
"Statement by NSC Spokesperson Caitlin Hayden on the 25th Anniversary of the Halabja Massacre"
March 16, 2013
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the horrific massacre by Saddam Hussein's regime of over 5,000 innocent civilians in a chemical weapons attack on the city of Halabja, in Iraq's Kurdistan Region. At least 10,000 people were blinded and maimed. This terrible crime was but one of many in Hussein's Anfal Campaign, in which tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis were slaughtered. On this solemn occasion, we honor the memories of the husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who perished at Halabja and throughout the Anfal, as we continue our efforts to prevent future atrocities, and help ensure that perpetrators of such crimes are held accountable.
Let us see whether President Obama and UN Ambassador Samantha Power still believe that they should hold the perpetrators of such crimes accountable.
Certainly, not only the Syrians are watching, but also the North Koreans, Iranians, Russians, and the broader international community. Or, perhaps to President Obama, "Never Again" expires after five months.

Although two-piece swimsuits (some of them revealing) had existed long before 1946, July 5 of that year is widely recognized as the birthday of the modern bikini.
The new 'Bikini' swimming costume (in a newsprint-patterned fabric) caused a sensation at a beauty contest at the Molitor swimming pool in Paris. Designer Louis Reard was unable to find a 'respectable' model for his costume and the job of displaying it went to 19-year-old Micheline Bernardini, a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris. She is holding a small box into which the entire costume can be packed.
Celebrated as the first bikini, Luard's design came a few months after a similar two-piece design was produced by French designer Jacques Heim.
Take a look at these other swimsuit designs, from the 1920s until today.

When was the last time you checked in with your liver? In truth, most of us don't give our livers much thought, except maybe the morning after a night spent drinking too many dirty martinis. And that's too bad because the liver is an organ that is critical to your health.
Next to your skin, your liver is the second largest organ in the body. You can find this lovely maroon colored organ under your upper right ribcage. Every single nutrient that enters the body must pass through your liver in order to be transformed into something useful. Your liver plays a key role in blood production, producing proteins, iron and vitamin B-12. It turns carbohydrates, proteins, and fat into glucose that can be used throughout the entire body. Its most famous job is ridding the body of harmful and useless toxins also known as detoxification.
Too much alcohol, processed junk, and greasy fried foods can negatively impact this miracle organ. In addition, stress and environmental pollution can severely reduce your liver's capabilities. Fortunately, there are many foods you can eat to nourish and heal your liver.
Dr. Sandra Cabot, the author of The Healthy Liver and Bowel Book, suggests that individuals eat foods to pamper their bodies. To fully support your liver, you need to eat a combination of foods. Some foods help the liver in the detoxification process. Others protect the liver while it's doing its detoxifying. Here are 10 suggestions that can help you pamper that oh so precious organ that answers to the name liver:
Eating a delicious, balanced diet can keep your liver happy and healthy or even heal a damaged liver in a very short period of time. Take the power back when it comes to your health and watch carefully what you put in your body. Make sure you are helping your organs and not causing them to work harder than they need to. You will reap a lifetime of benefits.

8-Track sampler with real-time pitch scaling.
The Octatrack is an 8-track performance sampler. Recording of sounds is a breeze thanks to the intuitive user interface, but the fun really starts once the samples are inside the machine. All audio content can be heavily processed and radically transformed. Loops do not have to be restricted by tempo or tone and can always stay in sync no matter if they are pitch shifted or if the tempo of the sequencer is changed. The inflexible nature of samples is finally a thing of the past.
For the Producer
With the Octatrack you will be able to treat samples in radical ways. You will appreciate functions like changing the melody of certain sections of a vocal sample without the sample going out of sync. The extensive audio mangling capabilities paired with the user friendly interface make the Octatrack an outstanding studio tool.
For the DJ
Thanks to the immediate real time sampling function of the Octatrack you can sample your turntable and instantly play back the recorded loops. Add effects to the captured audio and use the sequencer and the assignable optical crossfader to really add a twist to your set. The Octatrack can be regarded as an extremely flexible second turntable.
For the Performer
Each of the eight stereo tracks can stream gigabyte-large samples which is great if you need backing tracks during a live gig. All samples can still be subject to time stretch and can of course also be processed by the effects or rearranged by the sequencer. The Octatrack is the most capable performance instruments available.
Music is more fun once you get your hands on it. Order Elektron hardware instruments today.

Comments about Elektron Octatrack DPS1 Sampler:
This is a rather intimidating machine due to what seems initially complex and the price tag. The OT is 100% worth the investment and after a week of use, I am already very fast and fluent in the functionality and control. I am using it control 5 table top synthesizers as well as laying down drums and slicing samples.
This machine is my favorite piece of hardware.
Best Uses
Comments about Elektron Octatrack DPS1 Sampler:
Awkward but pretty precise. Sound quality isn't amazing. Once sounds have been timestretched there are definitely artifacts left over. it has lots of character. colors you sound very much like older equipment. this is a piece of equipment that wouldve been released by older, now defunct brands, such as E-mu or ensoniq. everything it does can be done on a computer with very basic software. I much prefer hardware, so it suits me perfectly. it is smaller than i expected.

Emerging oil and watercolor artist Janette Jones is the focus of this exhibition at the Knowlton Gallery, in Lodi, California, during the month of February. Jones, who began her career working in watercolor but recently switched to painting outdoor in oil, uses a strong sense of design, personal color mixtures, and an intimate point of view to create her distinct style. Among her influences are Kevin Macpherson, Elizabeth Tolley, Scott Christensen, and Kathleen Dunphy, all of whom Jones studied with. Her work will be on display at the gallery from February 3 through February 28. For more information, visit www.knowltongallery.com.
Vineyard View is very nice. Looks like a place to be. They are all very nice but vineyard is my fav.

On Thursday, July 23, 2015 at 5:46 p.m. Officer Dawn Blind and Officer Tim Stafford walked into Kangaroo Express located at 11869 Pulaski Road. An alert store clerk immediately contacted the two officers. The clerk pulled up the news story featuring the suspect on her cell phone and showed the two officers his picture. She pointed out a vehicle that was leaving the parking lot and advised the officers that the suspect was a passenger in the vehicle and that he had just used the restroom in the business. The two officers immediately got behind the vehicle and made a traffic stop. The suspect immediately surrendered to police.

TransVaginal Mesh Lawsuit, Transvaginal Mesh Lawyers
A Transvaginal mesh is a surgical implant which is used to treat POP ( pelvic organ prolapse ) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. These medical problems are a result of a weakened pelvic floor due to age, childbirth, hysterectomy, or menopause.
Because of the agressive sales job done by these medical device manufactures, vaginal mesh repair became very common and now over 300,000 women have a mesh implant.
The doctor used a surgical mesh to help reinforce the vaginal wall and to provide an additional supporting mesh structure to organs like the bladder, bowel or uterus However, it became apparent after several years after this product was used, many women began to experience complications like pain, infection, bleeding, mesh erosion. lower back pain, increased bowel and urinary problems and the inability to have sexual intercourse due to the severe pain. Many complications have resulted form these mesh implants and they all appear to be similiar no matter waht mesh product has been implanted thru the vaginaa:
• Mesh erosion through vaginal wall, bladder or bowel
• Infection that does not go away
Organ perforation
• Pain like a knife
• Urinary incontinence is back
• Recurrence of prolapse
• Bladder, bowel or vessel perforation
• Vaginal scarring
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Other problems that led to a significant decrease in patient quality of life due to discomfort and pain.
Now, after receiving over 3000 complaints from women who suffered serious injuries caused by polypropylene transvaginal device/mesh, the FDA issued a very detailed and comprehensive statement to warn doctors that they should consider no longer using mesh to treat their patients. Just recently Johnson and Johnson removed 4 Gynecare products form the market and did a label change on the fitth.
If you or a loved one is suffering due to a vaginal mesh implant call us now. We will file a vaginal mesh lawsuit for you and help you locate a doctor.

Use the HUMGL015 to see where your account balances came from. It "explains" each total for a given period in the HUMGL005 by showing the specific underlying transaction activity for that period. The report serves the same purpose as the AM091 in FRS.
Leave all other fields blank, to get all funds, all programs/classes/projects for your department. If you are only interested in a single value for any of these, you may specify it.
Each line in the report represents a financial transaction at the lowest level available to you in PS Finance. This varies by subsystem: for instance: purchasing information is highly detailed; appearing at the PO line level; while payroll information only appears at the journal line level, summarized to chartfield combination rather than by individual. Where activity moves through multiple ledgers, as in purchasing, you will see the movement out of one ledger and into another as two separate transactions.
Subtotals appear on account, fund, and department.
|Trans Date
|Date of original transaction. (Actual meaning varies.) Not a posting date, so may be outside the selected accounting period.
|Subsystem where transaction originated. For all transactions going through journals, equals Journal Source; for all commitment control transactions, equals "KK".
|Tran Type
Category of activity within subsystem. Possible values include:
|Tran Description
|Description associated with the specific transaction. For all transactions in purchasing pathway (i.e., POs, vouchers), equals vendor name. For Banner transactions, equals person or organization name. For all others, equals journal line description.
|Dollar Class
|Name of Ledger to which amount was posted.
|Monetary amount of transaction.
|Doc Type
|Type of document referenced in Doc ID, if any. VCHR=voucher, PO=purchase order, RCPT=Banner cash receipt, JREF=journal reference.
|Doc ID
|Document reference number. PO and voucher numbers can be looked up in PS Finance; Banner receipt numbers can be looked up in Banner; journal references are generally source document numbers entered and understood by Accounting.
|Journal ID
|ID of journal through which the transaction entered the ledger. Can be looked up in PS Finance. Not applicable for KK transactions.
|Journal Line
|Line of journal through which the transaction entered the ledger. Together with journal ID, can be looked up in PS Finance. Not applicable for KK transactions.

"When you date somebody, you have to look at them and think, 'You might make me a mother; I might make you a father.' That certainly scrambles some contemporary dating practices, doesn't it?"

By Staff Sgt. Jennifer Lindsey, USAFSpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Sept. 28, 2004 I used to think of my letters to friends and family as small, sacred paper packages of shared thoughts, hopes and dreams. That was until I volunteered at the post office while serving on deployment here.
Within my first few minutes in the sorting room, I realized that although my letters may seem precious to me, the reality is that there are literally thousands of bits of the very same "sacred" little -- some quite large and very heavy -- packages that are shipped every day.
The first day I helped unload pallets of mail and sort them, the post office staff here was short four people. On the same day, the airfield at Bahrain had been able to send mail pallets to here that had to wait for the next available cargo aircraft to travel to the next leg of their worldwide journey.
Fourteen pallets had arrived, and glad for any help they could get, the postal clerks gave volunteers a quick orientation as to where to place letters and packages based on the address labels taped and printed on the parcels. The instructions sounded simple enough, but I quickly found out that this small post office funnels mail to hundreds of various Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine units. It's also the hub of distribution to other posts in Salerno and Kabul, to name a couple.
How do about 10 people working 12-hour shifts sort thousands of pounds of letters, postcards, magazines, and packages for more than 7,000 people living on post daily? With dedication and compassion, pure and simple.
Postal troops understand what it means to receive a letter from home, to read encouraging words from loved ones. They know how precious Mom's homemade cookies are to the troops.
To help postal workers in their mission to get packages to every Airman Tom, Soldier Richard, and Sailor Harriett here, people don't have to wait for a deployment to Southwest Asia. Help can start from home.
When packing items for shipping to a deployed location, people should keep in mind that packages are going to take a beating, be exposed to heat and cold, and possibly even inclement weather. Troops, food and supplies have priority when shipping plans are created. The mail is the next priority, so patience (and good packaging) is a virtue.
For letters, print the APO AE address boldly and plainly on the front of the envelope. The key is to make the address simple to read at a quick glance. Thousands of letters, publications and hand-sized packages must be sorted daily into various unit mailbags. Boldly printed addresses help speed up the sorting.
Pack multiple items tightly in sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes with lots of stuffing to keep the items contained inside from jostling around and to protect them from getting squashed. Packages that aren't well taped and have wiggle room inside often wind up with crushed corners and broken or damaged contents. The pallets on which the packages are shipped contain hundreds of parcels of various weights. Each package must be able to withstand other heavier packages stacked on top of it. If not, chances are the contents will end up mashed.
Well-taped, heavy plastic boxes and locked military duffle bags seem to work well for shipping also. But it's important to use tear-proof shipping labels and include a shipping address inside the container as well, in case the label on the outside tears away.
Keeping packages small and lightweight can ease the strain on weary postal clerks. Each package must be handed from pallet to pallet at each destination.
Helping the troops at the post office doesn't mean people have to endure a four-, six- or one-year tour of Southwest Asia. Everyone who sends something to troops here can help by following these guidelines.
