The Role of Big Data in Security Intelligence
Hide details
Manage webcast
Mark Seward, Sr Director, Security & Compliance Marketing, Splunk Inc.
Learn how can you capture, analyze and glean actionable insight from the layers of security protecting your enterprise.
The term "Data Security Intelligence" has been around for a while and in many cases is simply a re-branding of security and event management (SIEM) company products. But, today Security Intelligence requires visibility of all the data across your environment and the ability to apply the intelligence of the security team to figure out what might represent abnormal patterns in human or machine behaviors to protect the most important business data.
It is only recently that technology has provided a scalable and cost effective way to (1) capture all the data across the enterprise with a big data architecture and (2) enable risk scenario analysis using mathematics and statistical analysis to analyze current threats, re-analyze old threats with new data, or detect threats in real-time.
In this webinar, Mark Seward, Snr Director, Security & Compliance Marketing at Splunk, will share how you can use big-data to transform the way you think about threats to the business.

Surviving the incident response surge: Detecting and Investigating Incidents
Jul 29 2015
6:00 pm
60 mins
Christian Kirsch, Principal Product Marketing Manager, Rapid7
As security incidents grow in frequency and complexity businesses struggle to be prepared to respond and mitigate the threat. Incident detection and response is expected to take up the majority of security budgets by 2020 but solutions are siloed and specialized staff is hard to hire and retain. How can security professionals who may not be experts in incident response detect and assess the scope of potential incidents or breaches effectively? This case study will explore this question leveraging real-world examples that illustrate how to confidently detect and respond to security incidents 10x faster.
Participants will learn:
· Methods for simplified discovery of anomalous user behavior
· Strategies for enabling fast incident response decisions
· How to cope when bombarded with false positive alerts
· Common attacker methods (and why they're so often successful)
· Why you need to monitor privileged and risky accounts

Detect Ransomware Before Its Too Late with AlienVault USM
Jul 28 2015
58 mins
Mark Allen, Technical Sales Engineer
By now you've probably heard about new ransomware threats like CryptoWall, which encrypts your data and demands payment to unlock it. These threats are delivered via malicious email attachments or websites, and once they execute and connect to an external command and control server, they start to encrypt files throughout your network. Therefore, spotting infections quickly can limit the damage.
AlienVault USM uses several built-in security controls working in unison to detect ransomware like CryptoWall, usually as soon as it attempts to connect to the hackers' command and control server. How does it all work? Join us for a live demo that will show how AlienVault USM detects these threats quickly, saving you valuable clean up time by limiting the damage from the attack.
You'll learn:
How AlienVault USM detects communications with the command and control server
How the behavior is correlated with other signs of trouble to alert you of the threat
Immediate steps you need to take to stop the threat and limit the damage

Insider threats - How to fight vulnerability from within the company
Jul 28 2015
34 mins
Niels von der Hude , Director of Market Development, Beta Systems Software
Recent studies have shown that 50-70% of all attacks on information security are coming from within the organization, and often the length of time that the breach existed is unknown. There are many issues involved in closing the gaps that cause such insider incidents and strengthen the protection of data. Using the "need to know" principal, organizations can limit who has access to data. Controls that adjust given access rights to actual needs exist and should be utilized. This session will focus on how to adjust data access rights, implementing the "least privilege principal", and the use of detective and proactive risk-oriented controls.

Stopping Zero-day Threats
Jul 23 2015
56 mins
Dan Maier, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Zscaler Inc.
If Anthem, Sony, Home Depot, Target and Neiman Marcus can fall victim to security breaches, so can you. The bad news is - no company is immune, no matter how big or small you are. Without a proper understanding of zero-day threats, companies have no way of exposing the gaps of overhyped security solutions. These threats are very sophisticated and often leveraging previously unknown attack techniques and vulnerabilities.
Join us for a compelling webcast that will highlight critical insights combating zero-day threats - including the ability to:
• Track employee traffic at all times, in real time, irrespective of whether they are inside or outside the corporate network
• Derive intelligent insights and meaningful data for fast corrective action
• Avoid a strategy based on "alerting" you about infections - without any guarantees you will notice them
• Implement a comprehensive approach to stopping zero-day threats - based on protection, (inspecting every byte of traffic and automatically blocking threats), detection and remediation

I have trouble with my own last name. I think it's a throat muscle thing, probably from repeated throat infections growing up due to having ruptured my spleen, which is a major aspect of one's immune system, requiring it be removed. I think Tom Brokaw would have a problem with it, you know, though I don't know if he has a spleen.
"My own last name"
No words specifically, but I absolutely loathe the go-to "I give up" or "I can't think of anything else" phrase...
No it's not, it never will be and you should be fed to badgers for saying it.
I can not STAND it when people use the word "ickle" instead of little. I actually want to hit people that say that. And I also hate it when people are teaching their kids to say "thank you"..... you pass something to the child and the moronic parent is saying "ta... say ta"....Perhaps it's just an English thing, but i want to scream IT'S THANK YOU!!!!! In fact, baby talk I abhor. There is no need for it. Crumbs, I can feel myself getting wound up just thinking about it!!

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
No Drawing,
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed August 2, 1911. Serial No. 642,082.
Patented Sept. 3, 1912.
To all whom it may aoncem:
Be it known f that I, HYMAN ELI GOLD- BERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain'new and useful Process ofMetallizing Electrotype- Molds, of which the following is a specificati n,
My invention relates to 'the process of metallizing or preparing electrotype molds to make them conductive in order of the application of fine flake graphite in dry state to said mold. This process is very objectionable because the graphite fiies about in all directions to the great inconvenience of the workmen. This has been overcome by the construction of special machines which brush the graphite onto the mold, but it nevertheless remains a lengthy and delicate operation. Another method consists in the application of metallic powder, for instance, bronze, to the mold and then applying a solution like silver nitrate or some other metallic salt in order to cause it to take. This process is not used much in practice on account of its inconveniences. There are other processes, namely, the treatment with silver nitrate and phosphorous, and the treatment'with silver nitrate and sulfureted hydrogen. These methods are inconvenient and laborious and require considerable time, and frequently unless the work is very carefully done the results are imperfect and unsatisfactory.
The object of my invention is to simplify, cheapen and improve the so-called process of metallizing and is accomplished in the following manner I first prepare a solution of a conductive solid in colloidal form in a volatile liquid, then apply this solution to the non conductive mold and finally dry the mold, thereby evaporating the solvent and causing the conductive substance to be deposited on the non conductive mold. Among the properties of colloidal metals is the one that upon evaporation of their solvent they become non colloidal orinsoluble. In process the metal is, therefore, deposited uponthe mold in a coherent, continuous, insoluble, electrically,
conductive layer. Among the conducting solids which I employ for the preparation of the colloidal solution maybe-gold, silver, or graphite, et cetera, but I prefer copper. Among the solvents for the solids are water, alcohol, ether, glycerin, acetone, etcetera.
One method of obtaining cop er and other metals in colloidal form is to orm a direct current arc under waterbetween terminals consisting of the metal to be rendered colloidal. Other methods are explained by Theo. Svedberg in his published book upon the subject, entitled H erstellung Kolloz'der Loesungen Anorgam'scher Stojfe, 1909 edition, published by Theodore Steinkopff, Dresden, Germany. He describes methods applicable to organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, glycerin and acetone and the method consists in forming an alternating current are in the liquid andintroducing the metal, for example, silver or copper, in finely divided form, for example, small pieces of foil or thin sheets. The various processes are listed in the index at the end of the book, for instance, those relating. to copper are'listed on page 506.
It is the common practice to employ wax asthe substance for making the electrotype mold. It will be found generally that a water colloidal solution will not wet wax readily. This objection may be avoided by treating the mold previously to the application of the colloidal solution, with alcohol or similar liquid. I greatly prefer, however,
to avoid the necessity for this alcohol pretreatment by employing as the solvent one which has a greater attraction for wax than water, and as such solvent I- prefer ether. Another advantage in employing other as a solvent is that whereas a colloidal solution of copper in water spoils very readily by the oxidation of the copper such oxidation occurs very slowly in ether. Copper, of course, is an excellent conductor, and furthermore, copper is the metal usually employed in electrotyping and consequently by employing copper for the metallizing substance I -avoid mixing metals. Therefore, for all of these reasons I greatly prefer on the whole to use a colloidal solution of copper dissolved in ether.
' Of course electrotype molds areordinarily prepared from wax, but it is well known that galvano plastic molds are made from other substances also, for instance, gutta percha, plaster of Paris, et cetera. The liquid that I use for a solvent depends upon the composition of the mold. For a mold of gutta ercha I employ benzol as a solvent, for I find that a solution prepared from this as'la solvent readily'wets a gutta percha m0 d.
I find that in practice in using ether as a solvent'the operator has to be ve rapid in his work on account of the rapidity of evaporation of the ether. Moreover, the ether if too thickly applied makes the wax rather soft. For both of these reasons I sometimes use. a mixture of ether and alcohol instead of ether alone.
In practicing my method I sometimes pour the colloidal solution onto the mold and thus form a layer upon it or again sometimes apply it with a brush or sometimes di the mold completely in the coll'oidal so ution.
Having thus described my invention,
what v I claim as new, and desire to secur by Letters Patent, is:
1. The herein described process of producing an electrically conductive layer upon ting the said solvent to evaporate.
. 2. The herein described process of producmg an electrically conductive layer upon a surface, such as a mold, which consists in first applying to the mold surface a colloidal solution of a metal in-a volatilesolvent and then permitting the said solvent to evaporate.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnessesl HOWARD M. Cox, MARGARET D. R033.

I cannot live with the idea of a wrathful God
I have also felt Gods tremendous love
Rules state must post here first.My story is so long, complex and messed up, that im way to weary today to share.But the basics are: I cannot live with the idea of a wrathful God (even tho I have felt his wrath and no one can talk me out of that, they all try) I have a mental illess and Christianity has worsened it! I was in a cult that preached fear and beyond. I have also felt Gods tremendous love and was delivered from Addiction. I cannot read the Bible for what i grasp is an arrogant, sadistic punisher who LOVES you? Hello?I know God And Jesus Are True, but I cannot figure out their character. Im at a point of leaving this religion for it torments me. Im terrified of God cause I did not follow after salvation and he got pissed! I continued to sin and will contiue to sin becuz its OUR nature.I try to be pure, but fail daily.Im confused and tormented. All these Christians Say "ill pray for you" or "God is Good" well, im living proof that God can be cruel with backsliders.Okay, thats all i can manage.thx
But when you hear my full story about my eperiences w God, you'l come to an understanding that I hope you folks can help me with.
Hey confused...I saved this awhile back. Don't remember where I found it:Blessed Are the Confused*M. Scott Peck*"When Jesus gave his big sermon, the first words out of his mouth were: "Blessed are the poor in spirit." There are a number of ways to translate"poor in spirit," but on an intellectual level, the best translation is "confused."Blessed are the confused. If you ask why Jesus might have said that, then I must point out to you that confusion leads to a search for clarification and with that search comes a great deal of learning. For an old idea to die and a new and better idea to take place, we have to go through periods of confusion. It is uncomfortable, sometimes painful to be in such periods. Nonetheless it is blessed because when we are in them, we are open to the new, we are looking, we are growing.And so it is that Jesus said, "Blessed are the confused." Virtually all of the evil in this world is committed by people who are absolutely certain they know what they're doing. It is not committed by people who think of themselves as confused. It is not committed by the poor in spirit".Now, this teaching makes sense to me!
to feel that God sees you as a miserable failure who is not worthy of His Kingdom.
Quoteto feel that God sees you as a miserable failure who is not worthy of His Kingdom.I wish i thought about God as you did think . I would LOVE to know that God hates me and sees me as not worth of his kingdome.I rather think that He sees me this way and will FORCE me to be in his kingdome.
This makes my life even more misarable . PLEASE dont make the mistake to believe in UR . Hell is a better place than this brainwashing evil doctrine.
Here God is a brainwashing , evil being with no true justice,or TRUE LOVE that forces people to be with Him even if they never asked for it.
It is worse to feel like you are forced to be with an evil being ,or brainwashed to love it ,than be in hell . Every single day i hate this doctrine more and more . It is manipulative ,evil and lying. There is no true justice in it and no true love.
Goto hospital and talk to someone with 3rd degree burns all over their body. They had a tiny example of what the ET hell is. I can't believe you or anyone would prefer to be in such a place.
What would be best according to you VID? That at judgement God asks you if you want to stop existing.
VID, what doctrine you believe has true love and justice?
QuoteWhat would be best according to you VID? That at judgement God asks you if you want to stop existing.If He does ask me such a thing ,it only confirms to my thought that He is evil . I just want to have a choice to not serve Him ,or not be with Him . I dont want hells ,or enything . Every being desires to exist and that is obvious.
Just to understand your view better. So you would chose that you would be put on a nice planet where you just live on without ever hearing of God again. Just live on that planet with others that made the same choice as you did. Is that what you mean VID?
QuoteJust to understand your view better. So you would chose that you would be put on a nice planet where you just live on without ever hearing of God again.

No one can force you to do enything you dont want . No one can put you where you dont want .No one can manipulate you .

You are pefectly ok and whole in your self . You are good and loving UNCONDITIONALY . And powerfull and DOING and GIVING ALL YOUR LOVE without limitations NOW and to everyone .This is as CLOSE as i can get to the truth about what i think that should be . O do my mind is too small and BOUND to touch what i desire.I dont want to be a god ,or whatever . I want to be the things that i said and i want this for everyone .I know its sounds stupid ,but just call me a dreamer and that is better than being a slave to enything .
This is a nice idea ,but i dont believe that eny goverment has ever been like this .And yes it is simular ,but i do not like liberty ,i like freedom .I have had some research and know that the goverment of every country just tries to bound people in order to achieve the political goals that they have .
People allow it YES . But those that want a change are such a small group that it is only their heads that will hurt from the atempts they make to change things .

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for separation of CO2 and H2S from fluid mixtures containing the CO2 and H2S, such as synthesis gas produced by the gasification of carbonaceous materials and product gases derived from fuel reforming processes. More particularly, this invention relates to CO2- and H2S-selective membranes for high-temperature CO2 and/or H2S separation applications.
2. Description of Related Art
Considering the importance of fossil fuels to the U.S. economy and the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on global warming, developing an effective approach to carbon sequestration, which requires capturing and securely storing CO2 emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels is a matter of great urgency. The overall carbon sequestration scheme comprises two basic elements—(1) separation and capture, including compression, of CO2 from power plants and other emitters and (2) transportation and disposal of the captured CO2 in suitable geological formations or oceans. It is estimated that the costs of CO2 capture and storage would be about $40-$60 per ton of CO2 emissions avoided. Up to 75% of these costs may be associated with the capture and sequestration of CO2 from combustion product gases (i.e. flue gases).
Current options under consideration for separation and capture of CO2 include scrubbing with suitable solvents (either physical or chemical), regenerable sorbents, membranes, cryogenic separation, and pressure and temperature swing adsorption. Of these technologies, solvent-based scrubbing is at present the most mature CO2 separation technology. However, it is not considered to be cost-effective and it is not suitable for use in large-scale power plants. The other technologies are not yet mature or cannot be applied economically at the scale required for power plants.
Various types of CO2-selective membranes are under development, particularly for separating CO2 from fuel/flue gas, with the ultimate objective being sequestration. A major portion of the current work is focused on microporous (pore size less than 2 nm) inorganic membranes based on alumina, zirconia or zeolite membranes supported on porous materials. However, because the separation is based on differences in the physical size, diffusivity and chemical properties of the molecules, separation factors (defined as the ratio of the permeation rate of CO2 to that of the other molecules) are usually low and other molecules, for example hydrogen, permeate along with the CO2. Perovskite oxide-type membranes, such as BaTiO3, have also been studied for CO2 separation because of their excellent stability at high temperatures. However, lower values of CO2/N2 separation factors (1.1-1.2) cast doubt on the potential of the ceramic membranes.
To increase the CO2 separation factor, dense membranes based on ceramic materials have been studied in recent years. In one recent project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, hydrotalcite compounds (HTCs) based on Mg—Al—O oxides (for example, Mg0.16Al0.24(OH)2(CO3)0.120.43H2O) prepared by sol-gel and precipitation methods have been studied as potential CO2 removal membranes in the medium temperature range of about 200-300� C. These mixed-oxide ceramic membranes take advantage of the chemical interaction between acidic CO2 and basic oxides in the HTCs. Activation energy calculations suggest the activated diffusion of CO2 through the intercrystalline region of the HTC. However, the chemical interaction may make the reaction irreversible and would result in lower permeation rates. Dense and dual-phase membranes based on K2CO3-doped Li2ZrO3 have also been studied for high-temperature (500� C.) CO2 separation. Based on the carbonate ion conductivity data, CO2 permeance of about 1�10−7 mol/m2�s�Pa has been calculated at about 500-600� C.
It is one object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for selective removal of CO2 from CO2-containing fluids, typically gaseous mixtures, at high temperatures, that is, temperatures equal to or greater than about 200� C.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for selective removal of CO2 from CO2-containing fluids which overcomes some of the disadvantages of known CO2 removal techniques discussed herein above.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for selective removal of H2S from H2S-containing fluids.
These and other objects of this invention are addressed by a method and apparatus for selective separation of CO2 and/or H2S from other fluid components at high temperatures using a nonporous membrane comprising at least one dense metal carbonate. More particularly, the method and apparatus of this invention employ a nonporous metal carbonate membrane having a feed side and a permeate side for selective separation of CO2 from CO2-containing gaseous mixtures and H2S from H2S-containing gaseous mixtures. The at least one dense metal carbonate comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr, Cd, Mn, Fe, Zn, Co, Ni, and combinations thereof. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of this invention, the metal carbonate membrane is deposited on the feed side of a porous substrate. Alternatively, the metal carbonate membrane may be deposited on the permeate side of the porous substrate or in the interior of the porous substrate. In accordance with one particularly preferred embodiment of this invention, the at least one dense metal carbonate is selected from the group consisting of CaCO3, MgCO3, Ca—Mg(CO3)2 and combinations thereof.
The concept of this invention is based upon the fact that the dense carbonate membranes allow only CO2 in the form of carbonate ions and/or H2S in the form of sulfide ions to diffuse through and exclude all other gas species present in the gaseous mixture, including hydrogen. Thus, the method of this invention can achieve 100% selectivity for CO2 and/or H2S on the permeate side of the membranes. The membranes can operate at higher temperatures (greater than 200� C.) than conventional membranes to enable higher diffusion flux for the carbonate (CO3 2−) ions. The high-temperature membranes of this invention are suitable for use in applications for CO2 separation from fuel/flue gas or synthesis gas without the need of gas cooling. They can be used as a membrane reactor with the water gas shift reaction to increase hydrogen production by removing the equilibrium limitation. The catalysts of the water gas shift reaction may be eliminated if the membrane reactor is operated at sufficiently high temperatures (greater than about 500� C.). More importantly, hydrogen is produced at the feed pressure of the synthesis gas as opposed to the low pressure hydrogen generated from other hydrogen-selective membranes.
These and other objects and features of this invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein:
As used herein, the term "nonporous" when applied to a structure, such as a membrane or membrane substrate interface, is intended to mean a structure having no pores. It will, however, be appreciated that methods for creating a structure having no pores may, nevertheless, result in a structure having a nominal amount of pores. So long as such pores do not permit the passage of more than a nominal amount of other components of a fluid mixture comprising CO2 and/or H2S, structures indicated herein to be nonporous and having such nominal amount of pores are deemed to be within the scope of this invention.
The reaction between MeO particles and CO2 can be expressed as follows:
Without intending to be bound by any particular explanation as to the mechanism by which the method of this invention operates, two different temperature-dependent mechanisms have been proposed for describing the migration of carbonate ions through the carbonate product layer to reach the surface of the unreacted metal oxide. Thus, for the example of CaO, at temperatures lower than 500� C., it is thought that carbonate ions diffuse through the CaCO3 product layer accompanied by countercurrent diffusion of O2− ions to maintain the electric neutrality in the CaCO3 product layer. At temperatures higher than 500� C., it is thought that sequential decomposition of carbonate ions in the CaCO3 layer provides the pathway for the carbonate ion diffusion. Under this scenario, the composition of carbonate ions produces CO2 and an O2− ion. The CO2 molecule then moves to a neighboring site vacated by a similar phenomenon while another CO2 molecule produced elsewhere by a similar way moves to take its place and reform the carbonate ion. The CO2 molecule thus diffuses site to site through the product layer towards the CaO—CaCO3 interface where it ultimately reacts according to the above reaction 1.
The invention claimed herein is a system for separating CO2 and/or H2S from a CO2- and/or H2S-containing fluid, such as a synthesis gas or reformed fuel. The system comprises a nonporous (dense) metal carbonate membrane having a feed side and a permeate side. This membrane is able to achieve very high CO2 and H2S separation factors with no diffusion of other major gaseous components, such as CO and H2.
A schematic diagram of a composite membrane 10 in accordance with one embodiment of this invention is shown in
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, the ultra-thin membrane is a metal oxide (MeO) which, upon contact with CO2, is converted to MeCO3.
In addition to CO2, the CaCO3 nonporous membrane in accordance with one embodiment of this invention has the potential to extract hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from other gases. The reversible reaction of H2S with CaCO3 can be represented as:
An ionic mechanism for the diffusion of sulfide (S2−) ions through the CaS product layer for reaction (2) is proposed based upon Pt-marker studies which suggest countercurrent diffusion of S2− and O2− ions through the CaS product layer. On the permeate side, H2O in the form of steam could be provided so that the reverse of reaction (2) takes place to form H2S molecules at the CaS/CaO interface similar to the CaCO3/CaO interface shown in
Diffusion of ions through solids is an activated process and can be expressed by the Arrhenius-type equation. For diffusion of CO3 2− ions through the CaCO3 product layer, experimental results indicate an activation energy of 42.7 kcal/mole whereas for diffusion of S2− ions through the product layer, the estimated value of the activation energy is 38.4 kcal/mole. Such a higher value of activation energy dramatically increases the diffusivity of ions at higher temperatures, which results in higher permeation rates for the gas components.
Nanocrystalline particles are known to possess surface reactivity that is significantly higher than the typical bulk products. The enhanced surface reactivity is believed to be due to the higher population of reaction sites at the edges and corners of the small crystallites. Thus, the nanoparticles may possess higher ionic diffusivity values. In addition, the actual diffusion of CO3 2− ions may occur across a very small membrane thickness that would increase the overall diffusion flux.
The CaCO3 membrane in accordance with one embodiment of this invention is supported on a porous support 14, for example, alumina. Other materials suitable for use as a porous substrate include silica, zirconia, alumina-silicates, zeolites, stainless steel, ceramics and combinations thereof. The CaCO3 particles may be deposited on the feed side surface of the porous substrate, filling the superficial pores of the porous substrate with CaCO3. Such depositing of the CaCO3 particles on the porous substrate may be achieved in accordance with one embodiment of this invention by precipitation of the CaCO3 from an aqueous solution comprising calcium and carbonate ions. Preferably, the reaction and particles growth conditions are controlled such that each of the superficial pores of the support is filled with a single crystal of CaCO3. Such a procedure produces a membrane module having an ultra-thin CaCO3 membrane layer, which reduces the overall length of the diffusion path for the CO2. Accordingly, in accordance with one preferred embodiment of this invention, the superficial pores on the feed side surface of the porous substrate have pore sizes of less than or equal to about 200 nm, preferably less than or equal to about 20 nm, and the CaCO3 particles are sized to fit within the superficial pores. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of this invention, the particle sizes of the CaCO3 particles are less than about 20 nm.
Other methods for creating the membranes of this invention include in-situ crystallization of CaCO3 nano particles, in which aqueous solutions containing Ca2+ and CO3 2− ions are introduced on two sides of the membrane support to form a nonporous membrane of CaCO3 crystals within the interior of the porous substrate as shown in
In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, the nonporous membrane has a tubular shape. This embodiment is particularly advantageous as it enables the sequential removal of H2S and CO2 in a single step. As shown in
In this example, a nonporous CaCO3 membrane was produced using CaCl2.2H2O powder obtained from Alfa-Aesar, Ward Hill, Mass., Na2CO3 powder obtained from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wis., and a porous alfa-alumina support tube having a nominal pore size of 50 nm, an inside diameter of 3.5 mm, an outside diameter of 5.5 mm and a length of 2 inches obtained from Media and Process Technology, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa. The support tube was closed at one end using a silicone stopper and filled with 0.5M CaCl2 solution. The filled tube was immediately dipped into another solution containing 0.5M Na2CO3. Care was taken to avoid mixing of the two solutions except at an interface within the support tube wall, where calcium and carbonate ions react to form CaCO3 crystals. After 24 hours, the tube was removed, the excess solution shaken off, and dried in an oven at 110� C. for 2 hours. Based upon the initial and final weight of the tube, it was determined that about 10 mg of CaCO3 was deposited within the pores of the tube.
Leak testing of the membrane was performed by contacting the feed side of the membrane with helium at 25� C. and a pressure of about 5 psig and contacting the permeate side with nitrogen at about 1 psig. Analysis by gas chromatograph of the permeate stream showed no presence of helium, indicating a nonporous or leak-free membrane under the test conditions.
Operating conditions under which the nonporous membranes of this invention may be used for separation of CO2 and H2S are subject to considerable variation. In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, the preferred operating temperature is in the range of about 700� C. to about 1000� C. However, the exact temperature is determined by the supplied partial pressure of CO2 on the feed side of the membrane and the required partial pressure of CO2 on the permeate side as determined by the thermodynamics of the reversible gas-solid reaction.
As previously indicated, during the process of separation of CO2 from a fluid mixture, the MeCO3 membrane transitions to a membrane having a MeCO3/MeO interface. The smallest thickness of the MeCO3 side of the membrane is obtained when the temperature of the process is maintained just below the equilibrium calcination temperature corresponding to the CO2 partial pressure on the feed side of the membrane. When operating at and above the equilibrium calcination temperature, the MeCO3 portion of the membrane will cease to exist, leaving a membrane entirely of MeO.
In addition to the benefit derived from CO2 separation, removal of CO2 at high temperatures using a CO2-selective membrane in accordance with this invention also increases the concentration of H2 in the synthesis gas stream, which may either be used for chemicals production, fuel cells, or for Fisher-Tropsch liquids production. The composition of the synthesis gas is essentially determined by the equilibrium-limited water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction. If the CO2 is removed at high temperatures, the equilibrium of the reaction will shift towards the right and additional CO will be available for generation of H2. At temperatures greater than about 500� C., the kinetics of the WGS reaction are very fast. Thus, removal of CO2 at high temperatures eliminates the low-temperature catalytic WGS reactor that is generally employed for the production of H2.
While in the foregoing specification this invention has been described in relation to certain preferred embodiments thereof, and many details have been set forth for the purpose of illustration, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is susceptible to additional embodiments and that certain of the details described herein can be varied considerably without departing from the basic principles of this invention.

Have I mentioned that I am totally in love with all things Victoria's Secret? I get super excited for their annual parade. I love the glitter, the glam, the beautiful bodies and most importantly the angel wings!
I am even more obsessed with angels and would happily walk around every day with angel wings if my friends and family allowed it!
Women usually have two responses to the Victoria's Secret Parade. They either feel like crap about their bodies and feel depressed, or they are in awe of the women, love the beauty and fun of the parade and feel inspired to do some sit ups!
I don't know about you but nothing inspires me more! But please, please remember my post this week about How To FEEL Good Naked. Only a very small percentage of women in this world will look like a Victoria's Secret Model so all that is important is that you do your best to be as healthy as you can be and choose to love and be kind to yourself.
There are women who see a beautiful woman and instinctively try to tear them down and look for their faults so that they feel better about themselves. This is not cool! The only way to really see the beauty in yourself is to see the beauty in other women. Women should be loving and supporting each other. It's totally normal to feel a little jealous or down about your body but be aware that this is your ego talking and all things that come from the ego are illusions. The ego's job is to separate us from love and keep us in fear based thoughts.
For those that want to work on their Victoria's Secret Model Abs then check out Blogilates Ab workout. I have been doing this workout every day this week and it is a killer! Honestly it's one of the best ab routines I have done. Also remember that abs are made in the kitchen so it's vital that you are eating healthy meals and snacks.
Be kind to yourself and see the beauty in everyone.
Lots of light and angel love

Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus (c. 125 – aft. 193) was a politician and military commander during the Roman Empire. A general under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Pompeianus distinguished himself during Rome's Parthian and Marcomannic Wars. A member of the imperial family due to his marriage to Lucilla, a daughter of Marcus Aurelius, he was a key figure during the Emperor's reign. Though offered the imperial throne three times, he refused to claim the title for himself.
Early life[edit]
A native of Antioch in Syria, Pompeianus was from relatively humble origins. His father, Tiberius Claudius Quintianus, was a member of the Equestrian Order. His family first received their Roman citizenship during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Pompeianus was a new man ("novus homo") as he was the first member of his family to be appointed as a Senator.
Much of Pompeianus' early life has been lost to history. He participated in the Roman–Parthian War of 161–166 under the commander of Emperor Lucius Verus, likely as a Legionary Commander. Sometime prior to the Parthian campaign, he was elevated to the rank of a Senator. He served with distinction during the war, earning him appointment as Suffect Consul for the remainder of the year 162 AD.
Marcommani War[edit]
Following the completion the Parthian campaign, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius appointed him military governor of Pannonia Inferior on the Empire's northern frontier along the Danube River. He likely served from 164 until 168. In late 166 or early 167, a force of 6,000 Lombards invaded Pannonia. Pompeianus defeated the invasion with relative ease, but it marked the beginning of a larger barbarian invasion.[1]
Late in 167 the Marcomanni tribe invaded the Empire by crossing in Pannonia. Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus planned a punitive expedition to drive the barbarians back across the Danube River, but due to the effects of the Antonine Plague, the expedition was postponed until early 168. Aided by Pompianius, the two Emperors were able force the Marcomanni to retreat. Pompeianus' military skills earned him the confidence of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and he quickly became one of the Emperor's closest advisors.
As the Emperors returned to their winter quarters in Aquileia, Lucius Verus fell ill and died in January 169. Following the death of Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius arranged for his daughter Lucilla, Verus' widow, to marry Pompeianus.[2][3] As son-in-law to the Emperor, Pompeianus became a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. The Emperor even offered to name Pompeianus as Caesar and his heir, but Pompeianus refused to accept the title. Instead, Pompeianus was promoted and served as the Emperor's chief general during the Marcommanic War. Under his guidance, the exiled Senator and fellow Parthian war veteran Pertinax was recalled and joined Pompeianus on his military staff.
Pompeianus' successes during the Marcommanic War further distinguished him, with the Emperor awarding him a second Consulship in 173.[2][4]
Under Commodus[edit]
Marcus Aurelius died in 180 AD, and his 18-year-old son Commodus, Pompeianus' brother-in-law, was proclaimed Emperor. Pompeianus tried to persuade Commodus to remain on the Danubian frontier to complete the conquest of the Marcommani, but Commodus refused and returned to Rome in the autumn of 180.[5][6]
The relationship between the young emperor and experienced officer quickly deteriorated. In 182, Lucilla, Pompeianus' wife and Commodus' sister, organized a failed assassination attempt against the Emperor. Though Commodus executed Lucilla and other members of her family, Pompeianus had not participated in the conspiracy and was spared.[7][8] Following the conspiracy, Pompeianus, citing old age, withdrew from public life and retired to his estates in Italy. He spent most of his time in the country away from Rome, claiming age and an ailment of the eyes as an excuse.[9]
Later life[edit]
Commodus was assassinated in 192 AD by members of the Praetorian Guard. Pompeianus returned to Rome once the plot against Commodus succeeded, resuming his seat in the Senate.[9]
Pertinax, who was the Urban Prefect at the time, offered the throne to Pompeianus, but he declined the offer. The Praetorian Guard then proclaimed Pertinax as Emperor, but he was assassinated by the Praetorians after only 87 days for attempting to impose order upon the long-undisciplined unit. Senator Didius Julianus, after becoming Emperor by bribing the Praetorian Guard to proclaim him, experienced difficulty in garnering support within the ranks of his own troops. In a desperate attempt to save himself, Julianus asked Pompeianus to become co-emperor with him. Pompeianus again declined the offer, on the grounds of his advanced years and eye problems. Julianus was executed on the orders of Septimius Severus after ruling for only 66 days.
Pompeianus appears to have died sometime in 193.
In popular culture[edit]
Russell Crowe's character Maximus Decimus Meridius in the 2000 film Gladiator is loosely based on Pompeianus and others.

This is the absolute best non high glycemic sweetener ever. I made some cookies with it and they were excellent, having a brown sugar caramel taste to them. No aftertaste like Xylitol. Highly recommend.

I really love this coconut sugar. It has such a delicious taste!! I use it in my baking and on my cereals, in place of refined sugars. It's Glycemic Index (measure of how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating a particular food) is 35. For comparison, glucose comes in at 100 and refined white sugar is 80. It is much much cheaper than buying it from my local Organic Store (they charge $30/kg!!). Will definitely keep buying this sugar!
Good value

Smells great. I used when cooking brownies instead of honey but didn't even taste the sweetness at all unfortunately. I haven't thought of anything else to use it in yet...
Good Product

I use this sugar as a substitute for regular sugar. I regularly make ice cream and it tastes great. Love the fact it's low GI.
Palm sugar

Best price around for an unrefined palm sugar.

BLOG: Freshman Haley Brings Energy to Veteran Lions
May 13, 2014
By Matt Allibone, GoPSUsports.com Student Staff Writer
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - As his freshman year comes to a close, Penn State shortstop Jim Haley thought about his first season of college baseball and admits that much of it has taken him by surprise.
For starters, he never thought the school he grew up rooting for would end up recruiting him, and he certainly never thought he'd become a starting college shortstop so quickly into his career either.
However, that's exactly how the year has played out for Haley, as the Upper Darby native has started 38 of the Nittany Lions 46 games, including each of the last 32.
"My friends in high school would always joke around about how cool it would be if Penn State recruited me and it was a shock to me when they did," Haley said. "I didn't expect to be starting. I wanted to come in and put the work in and it's paid off for me."
