Stuart William Hogg won his first cap for Scotland when he was introduced as a substitute for Max Evans in the 2012 RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Wales in Cardiff. Two weeks later he then made his first start, against France, and marked the occasion with his first try for Scotland in a performance imbued with talent and confidence.
Hogg was one of only five players who started in every game of the 2015 RBS 6 Nations Championship and was selected for the 12 man shortlist for player of the tournament, along with fellow Scot and Glasgow Warriors club-mate, Jonny Gray. Throughout the Championship, he made the most metres (442), 99 more than his closest rival, France's Scott Spedding, and also beat the most defenders (20), four more than second-place, England wing Jack Nowells. His tally of 63 carries was second only to England's Billy Vunipola, and his seven clean breaks were joint third highest in the tournament. Hogg also managed to record eight offloads, one less than tournament leader George Ford. The fullk-back also scored his ninth try in a Scotland jersey, as he crossed the line in the 23-26 defeat to Wales at BT Murrayfield.
In the 2013/14 season he scored again versus the French and followed up with a spectacular high ball take and 50 metre romp to the line for a try against the USA, his fifth for Scotland. In the second match of Scotland's 2014 summer tour, Hogg blasted over a key 50 metre penalty - his first for Scotland - in the 19-17 win against Canada and on the third match of the tour he weighed in with his sixth international try as Argentina were put to the sword 21-19.
Back on home soil and he scored Scotland try number seven as Argentina were beaten 41-31 in the opening match of the 2014-15 domestic season, following this up with his second try of the 2014 viagogo Autumn Test Series in Scotland's 37-12 defeat of Tonga at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock.
Earlier in the year Hogg became only the third Scot to be sent off in the history of the game - following on from Nathan Hines and Scott Murray - when he was red carded against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.
Stuart has represented Scotland at under-17, under-18 and under-20 level having played for Borders under-16s and under-17s. Before signing his first professional contract, with Glasgow Warriors, he played for Hawick Wanderers, Hawick and Heriot's.
Stuart comes from a talented rugby family in the Borders. His father, John, played as a championship winning full-back for Hawick before becoming a rugby referee and his brother, Graham, played for Scotland 7s in the IRB Sevens World Series as well as representing Scotland at three different age grades.
Stuart first came to prominence when he was named Player of the Year with Scotland under-17s. He later captained Scotland under-18 against Wales having been named man-of-the-match against France in 2010. He made his debut for Glasgow Warriors in the Magners League in February 2011 and that same month was part of the Scotland under-20 team. He went on to earn five caps competing in the under-20 6 Nations and the IRB Junior World Championship in the summer of 2011.
He was linked to Glasgow Warriors for 18 months as part of the Elite Development Programme run by Scottish Rugby and signed his first professional contract at the end of 2011.

Vatican prelate visits Azerbaijan, a nation of 450 Catholics
Catholic World News - June 12, 2012
Cardinal Fernando Filoni, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, traveled to the largely Muslim country of Azerbaijan to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Blessed John Paul's apostolic journey there. The nation of 9.4 million, formerly part of the Soviet Union, became independent in 1991 and has 450 Catholics.
Preaching in Baku, the nation's capital, on June 10, Cardinal Filoni said:
This tiny local Church [was] yet very much in the heart of John Paul II, so much so that, despite his declining health, a few years before his final journey to heaven on April 2, 2005, he came here in May 2002 to acknowledge the heroism of the local Catholics who remained faithful to their baptismal commitments under the brunt of persecution, depriving them for 70 years of priests, thus silencing the proclamation of the Good News of salvation, demolishing church buildings and dispossessing them not only of dignity, but most of all, of access to the Eucharist.

After the huge pressure exercised by the community, Canonical has implemented an option to stop the online dash searches.
We all remember the day when Mark Shuttelworth announced that Ubuntu 12.10 will include an Amazon lens and that it will be integrated into the Home lens.
A lot of people have questioned this strange decision, even if Canonical, through the voice of Mark Shuttelworth, has denied any prior agreements made with Amazon.
There were a host of problems that somehow manifested themselves, all at one, right after the Amazon announcement.
The most prominent problem was that Amazon could get personal info about the user. Canonical explained that they were the middleman of the query and that no personal information, such as the IP for example, ever reached the online store.
Unfortunately, Amazon provides the thumbnails of the results straight to the user, and not to Canonical. Therefore, Amazon could possibly match an anonymous query with the thumbnails they've sent.
If this wasn't enough, the Shopping lens could return, under certain conditions, adult imagery. This provoked an angered response from the community, who believed this would be really inappropriate for children, especially if they are using their parents computers.
Canonical has taken the Ubuntu 12.10 out of feature freeze and added a really important option, in Settings > Privacy.
In the Search Results tab, we now find the option "When searching in the Dash: Include online search results." This can be turned on and off.
Right off the bat, there are two problems. First off, the option is tuned on by default, which means that the potential user of Ubuntu 12.10 must know that the options exists and where precisely is it.
Secondly, the option doesn't require the root password. It's juts on and off and anyone can switch it back on, if they know where the option is.
Let's hope that it will be improved, even if it's after the official launch, on October 18th. Just update the system and the options will be available.

Copyright exceptions: clause 56 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill
Published on 25 May 2012 at 4:39 pm.
No Comments.
Filed under Digital Britain, Copyright Infringement.
Author: Tony Ballard
What is it about copyright law that makes Governments of both left and right try to reform it without Parliamentary scrutiny?
A few years ago the Labour Government included a clause in what was to become the Digital Economy Act that would have conferred wide powers on Ministers to amend copyright law. This was supposed to help deal with the vexed problem of online infringement. It was a controversial proposal, to say the least, with comparisons being made with the powers wielded by Henry VIII and with the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill of 2006, described by one commentator as the Abolition of Parliament Bill. The Government responded to the criticisms by proposing that a Minister's amendments should be subject to a super-affirmative Parliamentary procedure as a safeguard but eventually the clause was dropped.
Now the Coalition Government has brought forward the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill, clause 56 of which proposes to confer on Ministers unlimited power to add or remove exceptions to copyright. On one view, this would give Ministers even wider powers. On the face of it, however, the only safeguard is the lesser, ordinary affirmative procedure of resolutions by both Houses of Parliament.
Copyright exceptions are, of course, a topic on which the Government has already made its post-Hargreaves policy plain – it thinks that the widest possible exceptions within the existing EU framework are likely to be beneficial to the UK. Rights owners will not unnaturally ask how far the Minister might go. The answer in practice lies in the EU framework, that is to say the Information Society and Rental and Lending Directives, which circumscribe what the Minister can do. In particular the Minister cannot lawfully go outside the permitted exceptions that are listed in the Directives. The Minister must also comply with the Directives' so-called three-step test, limiting the exceptions to special cases which do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the relevant work and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the rights holder. Quite what that means in light of recent cases is, to say the least, obscure but it will be some sort of constraint at some level.
So for all that clause 56 looks like another Henry VIII clause with only limited safeguards, the EU framework is something of a protection against Ministerial over-exuberance. But is this the best way to frame what is likely to be quite complex legislation?
Parliament's only contribution to the reform of the copyright exceptions will be the ability to block a Ministerial order by declining to pass a resolution affirming it. It cannot propose or require its own amendments. The whole process of second reading Ministerial explanation and subsequent scrutiny and amendment at the committee, report and third reading stages in both Houses of Parliament is lost if it is all in the hands of the Minister. It ceases in effect to be a Parliamentary matter. The development of the legislation to give effect to the new policy will take place within a government department which, for all the no doubt valiant efforts of civil servants to consult, is vulnerable to lobbying and sectoral capture and to development behind closed doors.
The alternative is to include the proposed exceptions on the face of the Bill. It is not clear why they should not form part of the Bill instead of being developed out of sight in a departmental back room. There is room for more than one view as to the wisdom and appropriateness of removing the reform of this key feature of our copyright law from full Parliamentary scrutiny.
The second reading debate on the Bill is due to take place in the House of Commons on 11 June.

Over the weekend I went and bought a lot of clear plastic boxes. All for my shoes. I had thought about it for a while, and part of me was scared at the thought of how many plastic boxes I would have to purchase. I am not minimalist when it comes to shoes. Nearly all of them are pretty practical however (excuses).
The boxes were $1 a piece. I bought half of what I thought I'd need and went home and began switching out the boxes. The next day I went back and bought the other half, plus more. I will use the shoe boxes for shipping things I'm selling, give them to a thrift store for use, or recycle.
I think it's good to keep shoes in boxes because it helps them stay in better shape. All minimalist should strive to keep their things in good condition because it reduces the need to go buy more. It also shows respect for what you have. I'm going to call this the Theory of Good Order.
I asked myself if doing this was minimalist. I quickly decided that it could be fought either way. This was more about organizing (I did decide to get rid of 1 pair of shoes).
Side #1. One minimalist may keep the regular shoe boxes saying, "I'm making do with what I already have."
Side #2. "I will wear more of the shoes because I can now see them all. It may also help me get rid of some shoes because I can see what's not being worn. It looks better in my closet and I will save time by being able to easily find what I want."
My point is that minimalism is different for everyone. It's whatever works for you. You may be a minimalist in that you don't buy much, live to the most of what you already have or can get for free. You may be a minimalist if you streamline everything you have.
I can say that I really like having my shoes in the clear boxes.

Palestine Liberation Organization
The Revisionist in Power
April 21, 1978
Recently a number of commentators, friendly and otherwise, have been urging American Jews to express their dissatisfaction with the policies of the Begin government. Ideological and political debate flourishes in democratic Israel, so why is the "Jewish establishment" in the United States less vocal, in fact supinely acquiescent? I. F. Stone, though hardly lacking forums for expressing his views, disingenuously mourns the failure of American rabbis to invite him to expound his familiar pro-Arab stance to their congregations.
The New Anti-Semitism
September 18, 1976
In those distant days, when General de Gaulle drank a toast to "the state of Israel, our friend and ally," a right wing antisemitic weekly in Paris, which fiercely upheld the idea of "Algerie Franfaise," published a long article under the title "Is it possible to be a friend of Israel and an anti-Semite at the same time?" The author thought that it was.
UNESCO and Israel
December 14, 1974
Last month as the UN General Assembly was passing resolutions in New York conferring legitimacy on the Palestine Liberation Organization, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Paris, by excluding Israel from its European regional activities, was anticipating and, as Raymond Aron and Jean-Paul Sartre said in a remarkable joint statement, "justifying in advance Israel's physical annihilation." The Arab-inspired resolutions included terminating UNESCO's small aid to Israeli cultural institutions and asked that UNESCO's director general undertake to supervise educ

Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
On Friday, May 16th, Darden Restaurants announced the sale of its Red Lobster chain to Golden Gate Capital, a private equity firm based in San Francisco which also owns California Pizza Kitchen, Payless, and Zale Corporation.
The $2.1 billion sale of Darden's struggling seafood chain is expected to leave the company with roughly $1.6 billion in cash, of which $1 billion will be used to alleviate some of the company's debt.
Darden will use the rest of the profits to buy back market shares.
Darden announced its intention to sell Red Lobster in December 2013, and will now turn its focus to Olive Garden, which has also struggled with declining sales in the last several months (a 5.4 percent drop compared to Red Lobster's 8.8 percent drop in the first three months of 2014).
"All of the turnaround focus can be 100% on Olive Garden rather than fighting a war on multiple fronts," a source told CNN.

Roger Ebert is on the way back
I still watch Ebert & Roeper, even though Roger Ebert has not been on the show for several months since he had complications following salivary gland surgery. The show isn't the same. It's not that the revolving series of film critics they have sitting next to Richard Roeper (A.O. Scott, David Edelstein, David Poland, director Kevin Smith, actress Aisha Tyler and actor Fred Willard, among others) haven't been interesting (if an odd mix), it's just that they're not Roger Ebert, and his prescence is sorely missed.
But he's on the mend. As Ebert himself says in this Chicago Sun-Times piece, he's feeling better, doing rehab in Florida, and he plans to attend (though not MC) his annual Overlooked Film Festival at the end of April at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He's celebrating 40 years as a movie critic, and has a new book out now, Your Movie Sucks, which is about bad movies (his other book about bad flicks, I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie, was quite good). Hopefully he'll be back to the show later this year or next year.

And thus Charles Dickens launched the wondrous fable of a stingy, cruel miser who is given a second chance to become a decent and generous man at Christmas and throughout the year. Goodness is literally scared into him by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, and the visits of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
And so it has continued to haunt our homes, ever since. I was born 102 years after the novella was launched, but it's been a faithful holiday friend throughout my life. This came to mind during our delightful annual trek to Geva Theatre Center a few nights ago for its production of A Christmas Carol.
I first encountered the story, in a condensed form, in a children's book called Dickens' Christmas, which was handed down to me from my other brother. It also was on my parents' set of fragile 78 rpm records as A Christmas Carol, starring Lionel Barrymore, which I've since discovered was performed on radio's Orson Welles' Campbell Playhouse in the late 1930s. (What a delight to discover it still exists as a program on the iTunes podcasts of Welles' radio shows. I wonder if Charlie ever knew his stories would one day be "podcasts.")
There have been other audio versions, including a spoken-word version by the great Laurence Olivier, which can be purchased at various locales online. And the late Jonathan Winters performed a reading of the Carol for NPR, co-starring Rochester native Mimi Kennedy, performing the female roles. Good news: The Winters-Kennedy version is airing again at noon Dec. 24 on WXXI-AM (1370).
The Dickens tale has also long been a motion picture staple, even extending to versions that have featured Mr. Magoo, the Muppets and Mickey Mouse (as Bob Cratchit, clerk to Scrooge McDuck).
The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) lists some 200 film adaptations of A Christmas Carol. Only two, however, are must-sees. The greatest of all the celluloid Carols is the 1951 English film, starring Alistair Sim as the definitive Ebenezer Scrooge. No production before or since has been as good. The runner-up is an atmospheric 1984 made-for-TV version, starring the great George C. Scott as Scrooge.
Both films are readily available on DVD, and both are available for free, in full-length runs, on YouTube.com. The Sim film is on Turner Classic Movies at 10 p.m. Dec. 19.
If you've never seen Geva's production, onstage through Dec. 28, do it this season. If you have, it's a classic that's well worth a repeat.
The combination of acting, stage magic, smart direction and superb music make this the definitive stage Carol for us. I'm happy most of the fine cast returns, including Melissa Rain Anderson (as Mrs. Crachit and Mrs. Fezziwig), Jim Poulos (as Crachit and others), Remi Sandri (as a wonderfully frightening Marley's Ghost and others) and especially Guy Paul (as Scrooge). Paul is a superb stingy, mean-spirited Scrooge, and also manages a joyous and energetic conversion to goodness by the final curtain.
And also seek out the other worthwhile films and audio versions - and, of course, Dickens' magical little book. God bless them, everyone.

IoT Breakthrough
At last the IoT makes sense. The defining product of the IoT revolution has arrived – the toothbrush which connects to your phone.
Oral-B's Bluetooth connected device called SmartSeries costs $160.
The brush tells you to move to a new quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds to accomplish the recommended two minutes a day brushing time.
The app tells you if your brushing too hard while distracting you with news headlines, weather forecasts, appointments and fun facts about brushing your teeth.
If you do the full two minutes you're rewarded with a smiley face.
And then reminded to floss.
Being bossed around by your toothbrush is one of the things that makes the IoT revolution so exciting.

Despite all the bolleaux talked about the IoT, some people are actually trying to make it work in a useful manner.
See for example http://thethingsystem.com/.
Without a standard way of interfacing with 'things' and a controller ('steward') that can tell them how, when, where and why to interact, the IoT will get nowhere, slowly.
July 15, 2014 14:48
David, how can you brush your teeth with your tongue so firmly planted in your cheek?
July 14, 2014 16:58
Ah, so IoT means "Internet Of Toothbrushes" – who would have thought it!!
So do I hold the phone in one hand and the toothbrush in another? Or am I compelled to buy a special stand or shaving mirror type dashboard-holder for the phone?
Does the phone tell the toothbrush when it needs charged or if there is a bit of sausage stuck in the bristles?
Can we do a 360 review of this at our next MBA brain-sailing conference in the bahamas? I will get my people to contact your people? Okay Ya?!
July 14, 2014 10:54
At last! After over a century of jam-tomorrow promises, technology will *finally* free us from the shackles of drudgery. That whole toothbrush thing is too mentally taxing after you've just poured yourself out of your scratcher, and certainly crippled me for the rest of the day. Now I won't have to think about things like molar-to-incisor-dwell-ratios anymore, I'll be able to use the spare brainwaves to think up new IoT gadgets. It's a virtuous circle!
July 12, 2014 07:34
The problem with this type toothbrushes is … not enough wrist movements … which will make your watch angry at you and the toothbrush …
Should be fun to see the toothbrush and the watch battling it out over which one of the two owns you more

I still think the iKettle is the 'outstanding' IoT product so far.
If your IT department has learnt to program yet, maybe you could have them set up an IoT "Hall of Shame"

I detect a note of sarcasm….

It goes without saying that these kinds of ill conceived gadgets are created when there is an associated engineering department to them without a meaningful challenge on their hands.
On a side note: Oral-B brushes are pretty good compared with a manual alternative.


text: Accustomed to singular journeys and daring propositions, Christophe Desjardins now offers us a veritable comprehensive survey devoted to his instrument. Viola/Multiples, a double-album set, reflects a large portion of his activity as a performer: his fruitful collaboration with today's leading composers and an ever-renewed desire to decompartmentalise genres and repertoires. The first album, Solo, invites us to stroll through the 20th century, visiting masterpieces for solo viola, from Hindemith to Berio. The second album, Multiples, uses contemporary works mixed with pieces of early music. Christophe Desjardins gives us a world première recording of Pierre Boulez's Messagesquisse but also increasing his instrument in other ways, creating dialogues between Gilles Binchois and Jonathan Harvey, Carlo Gesualdo and Wolfgang Rihm.

somewhat off-sub, but per the subject line, anyone have any ideas how i cansecure my hockey stick to my acessory-devoid rucksack?i'll be commuting about a mile to the pond (via bike) and obviously, holding an aluminum stick is not only cold, but completely dysfunctional and entirely unsafe, not to mention just plain akward.perhaps i could rig it to my bike frame?man....what a head banger.thanks! leslie
You just need a telescoping hockey stick! I think rigging it to the bike frame would be a safer solution. Keeping it from extending past the handlebars so you can maintain your turning would be wise. You could use a velcro cord wrap to the tube frame. Picture of bike/stick with dimensions might help.
Good to see another backpacker/cyclist/hockey player! Attach the hockey stick to the top tube. I use a single bungie cord wrapped a couple times over. Takes a little practice to get it balanced but once you have it in place, you won't know it's there.I throw my equipment in a big ortlieb bag and wear my helmet to save space/safety.I uploaded a picture to my flickr... http://www.flickr.com/photos/gcadventures/6261494231/in/photostream
Just strap it to the top tube of your bike like the bike polo folks do with their mallets, just keep the blade under your butt next to your seat stay.
id strap it vertically to my pack...assuming you have clearance along the path for a 3-4 ft protrusion...depending on how long of a hockey stick you use.
thanks all!matt, photo=gold.i'd ideally like to strap it to my pack, but it may require some creative engineering(and unruly bouts of trial and error).leslie

Iran's Khamenei says US 'deeply' hated in Mideast
Posted By admin On June 4, 2009 @ 11:23 am In Iran,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the nations of the Middle East shared a "deep hatred" of the United States.
[efoods]His latest salvo against Iran's arch-foe came as US President Barack Obama arrived in Cairo to deliver a much-heralded address to the Muslim world in a bid to heal a wide breach between America and Islam.
Khamenei spoke on the occasion of the 20th death anniversary of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led a revolution in 1979 that toppled the US-backed shah and established an Islamic republic.
"The nations in the region hate the United States from the bottom of their hearts because they have seen violence, military intervention and discrimination," Khamenei said at the mausoleum of Khomeini.
"The new US government seeks to transform this image. I say firmly, that this will not be achieved by talking, speech and slogans.

MoS2nanofiber bundles have been prepared by hydrothermal method using ammonium molybdate with sulfur source in acidic medium and maintained at 180 °C for several hours. The obtained black crystalline products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The PXRD pattern of the sample can be readily indexed as hexagonal 2H-MoS2. FTIR spectrum of the MoS2shows the band at 480 cm−1corresponds to the γas(Mo-S). SEM/TEM images of the samples exhibit that the MoS2nanofiber exist in bundles of 120–300 nm in diameter and 20–25 μm in length. The effects of temperature, duration and other experimental parameters on the morphology of the products are investigated.
Keywords:Hydrothermal; Nanofiber bundles; MoS2; Citric acid
Nowadays, one-dimensional nanostructural materials (nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts and nanotubes) have attracted heightened attention because of their potential applications in nanodevices and functional materials [1]. Continuous effort has been devoted to the investigation on the crystalline phases of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides, because of their unusual crystal structure and unique physical and chemical properties [2]. In analogy to graphite, nanoparticles of many inorganic compounds such as MoS2, WS2 are not stable against folding, and can adopt nanotubular and fullerene-like structures [3]. As transition metal sulfides, MoS2 has been the subject of significant research for applications including nonaqueous lithium batteries, catalytic hydride sulfurization of petroleum and wear resistance. For each of these applications, the important processes occur either at the surface or at the exposed edges of the MoS2 layers [1]. MoS2 is a layered semiconductor (band gap = 1.2 eV, indirect) that resists oxidation even in moist air at temperatures up to 85 °C [4]. This attribute makes MoS2 an attractive semiconductor material for nanoscience applications. Recent studies have suggested that reducing the size of the MoS2 crystals can improve their lubrication properties in bearings, O-rings or other heavy—wear applications [5].
Inorganic syntheses using organic surfactants are successfully applied for the preparation of various nanostructural materials [6,7]. The subsequent template elimination without destruction of the mesoporous texture remains a difficult step [8]. Various methods of preparation includes chemical vapor deposition, sol–gel processing, spray pyrolysis, co-precipitation, sonochemical synthesis, metathesis reactions, two step electrochemical synthesis etc are having been in practice [9-12]. Tenne and co-workers [13,14] first reported the production of fullerene-like MoS2 nanotubes via the gas phase reaction between MoO3−x and H2S in a reducing atmosphere at elevated temperature (800–1000 °C). Rao and co-workers obtained MoS2 nanotubes by simple heating MoS3 in a stream of hydrogen under high temperature [15]. Zelenski et al. [16] synthesized fibers and tubules of MoS2 by the thermal decomposition of ammonium thiomolybdate precursors at 450 °C. MoS2 nanotubes [17] were made by subliming 2H–MoS2 powder in presence of H2S at 1300 °C. Recently MoS2 nanorods [18] were synthesized using α-MoO3 nanorods with a mixture of H2S · H2 (15 vol% of H2S) for 4 h at several temperatures. However, almost all the methods to obtain MoS2 nanotubes and nanorods utilize high temperature gas-solid reaction under reducing gas atmosphere. Yumei et al. [1,19] synthesized MoS2 nanorods and nanospheres by hydrothermal method using ammonium molybdate with Na2S in presence of NH2OH · HCl as oxidizing agent. Hydrothermal synthesis is becoming popular for environmental reason, since water is used as reaction solvent than organics. This method has been widely used to prepare nanostructures due to its simplicity, high efficiency and low cost.
In this article, as a part of our recent efforts on the investigation of 1-D materials [20], we report a simple low temperature hydrothermal method for preparation of MoS2 nanofiber bundles with morphology control. We examined the effect of precursors (ammonium molybdate, sodium sulphide and citric acid) concentration, duration and the temperature on the morphology of the product. Finally, we discuss appropriate conditions for producing MoS2 nanobundles.
Experimental section
The hydrothermal process was carried out like our previous report [21,22] to prepare MoS2 nanofiber bundles. In a typical synthesis of MoS2 nanofibers, sodium sulfide and H2S gas were used as sulfur sources in order to investigate the source effect on the morphology of the product.
In the first trail 1.235 g ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24 · 4H2O) was put into 25 mL distilled water under continuous stirring. After 10 min, 0.5 g citric acid monohydrate (C6H8O7 · H2O) was added to the above solution. To this solution mixture, 0.312 g sodium sulfide crystals were added. The initial greenish black color was changed to red after 1h stirring on a magnetic stirrer. In the subsequent trail, 0.5 g ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate was put into 25 mL distilled water under continuous stirring. H2S gas is passed in to the warmed acidified with dilute HCl solution for about 5–8 min.
The sealed 25 mL Teflon lined autoclaves containing above solution mixture were placed for hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C for several hours. The autoclaves were cooled and the resulted black solid was retrieved from the solution by centrifugation, washed with distilled water followed by ethanol to remove the ions possibly remaining in the end product, and finally dried in air.
Powder X-ray diffraction data were recorded on Philips X'pert PRO X-ray diffractometer with graphite monochromatized Cu Kα radiation (( = 1.541 Å). The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the samples was collected using Nicollet FTIR spectrometer. Scanning electron micrograph images were taken with JEOL (JSM—840 A) scanning electron microscope. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was carried out on an ESCA-3 Mark II X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, (VG Scientific, UK) using Al Kα radiation (1486.6 eV) as the exciting source. The morphology of the samples was observed using (H-800EM Japan Hitachi) transmission electron microscope (TEM) equipped with EDS (Kevex Sigma TM Quasar, USA) to measure the elements contained in the samples.
Results and discussion
Figure 1a, b shows the PXRD patterns of the samples prepared using sodium sulfide and H2 as sulfur sources in acidic medium at 180 °C for 48 and 24 h, respectively. It shows only a broad, weak envelope beginning at 2θ = 30° and continuing out above 60°, the two maxima approximately located at the 100 and 110 positions of bulk 2H–MoS2[23]. The PXRD patterns resemble that of the single-layer MoS2 prepared by exfoliation method [24]. All the diffractions can be readily indexed as hexagonal 2H–MoS2 [space group P63/mmc (194)] with lattice constants a = 3.16116 Å and c = 12.2985 Å, identical to the reported data in the JCPDS cards (37–1492). At 180 °C only poor crystals were produced. The absence of the 002diffraction at 2θ = 14.4° suggests that absence of stacking, thus the sample should be an aggregate of single sheets of MoS2[1,8,18,23,25].

(c) 180 °C for 48 h using Na2S as sulfur source without citric acid. (d) 180 °C for 48 h using Na2S as sulfur source with 1 g citric acid
Chemical analysis using EDS indicates the presence of Mo and S (elements of MoS2), and no other elements existed as observed in Fig. 2. Furthermore, the quantification of the peaks shows that the atomic ratio of S to Mo is 1.92, which is very close to the stoichiometric MoS2. From the IR spectrum (Fig. 3), it is observed that the band at 480 cm−1 corresponds to γas(Mo–S). The bands above 600 cm−1 correspond to Mo–O vibrations and they indicate that oxygen is present in similar types of coordination as in MoO3. We assign the band at 941 cm−1 to the γas(Mo–O) vibrations of terminal (–Mo=O) group and 693 cm−1 to γ(Mo–O) vibrations. The frequency of the vibration is shifted to the lower wavenumber compare to its standard value in crystalline MoO3, due to the presence of reduced Mo centers and sulfur as a ligand [26].

X-ray photoelectron spectra of Mo(3d) and S(2p) core level regions of as-prepared nanoparticles are shown in Fig. 4a and b and the values are tabulated in Table 1. Mo(3d) peaks in as-prepared nanoparticles were deconvoluted into sets of spin-orbit doublet. Accordingly, the high intense Mo(3d5/2) peaks at 229.1 and low intense Mo(3d3/2) peak at 232.1 eV could be attributed to MoS2. Whereas lower binding energy shoulder peak at 226.25 eV is because of S(2s) [27].
Figure 4. XPS pattern of MoS2 nanofiber bundles prepared at 180 °C for 48 h
Table 1. XPS data of Mo(3d) and S(2p)
Figure 4b shows S(2p) doublet peak (2p3/2 and 2p1/2) at 161.25 and 162.94 eV respectively in which 2p3/2 and 2p1/2 orbital peaks coincide with each other. It is to be noted that the peak positions of S(2p) and Mo(3d5/2) for MoS2 is in good agreement with he results on MoS2[28].
The chemical shifts of Mo(3d5/2) and S(2p) in MoS2 nanoparticle is +1.6 and −2.2 eV in comparison to elemental Mo and S [29]. The electronegativity of S being 2.5 is greater than that of Mo being 1.8. Therefore there occurs some partial electron transfer from molybdenum to sulfur. As a result, molybdenum becomes positively charged as shown by the increase in binding energy and sulfur becomes negatively charged as shown by the decrease in binding energy.
MoS2nanofiber of about 120–300 nm in diameter and 20–25 μm in length are identified from SEM images (Fig. 5). They are well aligned and occur in-group of bundles with very high aspect ratio. It can be seen that the nanofiber self assembled into bundles and the nanofiber in a bundles had the same growth direction. The morphology and structure of individual MoS2 nanorods have been characterized in further detail using TEM, which are shown in Fig. 6. It can be seen that the nanorods are straight and uniform along their entire length and thickness of about up to 300 nm. The ends of the nanorods are broken. Figure 6d is the high resolution TEM image of the MoS2 nanorods and this image shows solid nanorods are uniform in thickness.

The reduction of transition metal ions by surfactant is useful for the production of ultra fine particles of metal sulfides. Unfortunately, molybdic compound reduction chemistry is quite complex and the nature of the products strongly depends on the reaction conditions. For example, Afanasiev et al. show that the reduction of aqueous ammonium molybdate at different temperatures and conditions yields binary sulfides such as MoS5.6, MoS6, and MoS3 as well as binary oxides such as MoO3 and MoO2. In fact, the mechanism differs markedly in aqueous and in nonaqueous solutions. In order to disclose the transition process from (NH4)6Mo7O24 · 4H2O to MoS2, the role of citric acid [30-32] on phase of products was investigated. The possible reaction mechanism can be written as
Step 1 is a sulfureted reaction, in which an intermediate phase (NH4)2MoS4 is produced [33], and step 2 is a reduction reaction under hydrothermal conditions. Thus by the addition of 1 g of citric acid or without citric acid, sulfureted reaction and reduction reaction do not react completely so that the products consist of much MoO3 phase as shown in the Fig. 1c, d. Therefore during the formation of MoS2 nanofiber bundles, citric acid plays a very prominent role. Figure 7a, b gives the SEM images of the product prepared with and without citric acid. We evaluate the effect of temperature and duration on the morphology of the products. But there was no interesting morphology of the product obtained.
Figure 7. SEM images of MoS2 nanofiber bundles prepared at (a) 180 °C for 48 h with 1 g citric acid and (b) without citric acid
The morphology of the product prepared at 180 °C for 24 h (Fig. 8) using H2 resembles with the morphology of the product prepared at 180 °C for 48 h (Fig. 5) using sodium sulfide as sulfur source. Here, there is a regular arrangement of MoS2 fibers takes place to form bundles. The thickness of the fiber is found to be about 300 nm and length is about 12 μm. From the SEM images, we observed that the length of all fibers is found to be same with sharp ends having voids in each MoS2 bundles.
Figure 8. SEM images of MoS2 nanofiber bundles prepared at 180 °C for 24 h using H2S as sulfur source
The possible reaction mechanism can be written when H2S as sulfur source is
Step 3 is a reduction reaction, in which an intermediate phase MoCl4 is produced [19], and step 4 is a sulfureted reaction under hydrothermal conditions.
Figure 9a, b shows the SEM images of MoS2 prepared at 180 °C for 16 and 20 h. When the duration is increased to 48 h, nanorods (Fig. 9c) are obtained. The thickness of the nanorods is found to be in the range of 200–600 nm.
Figure 9. SEM images of MoS2 nanofiber bundles prepared at 180 °C h using H2S for (a) 16 h (b) 20 h and (c) 48 h
Nanofiber of MoS2bundles with 150–300 nm in diameters and 20–25 μm in length have been successfully synthesized by a simple low temperature hydrothermal method. PXRD pattern indicated the amorphous MoS2was made up of single layer and layer stacking had not taken place. The nanofiber self assembled into bundles and the nanofiber bundle had the same growth direction. SEM study reveals the formation of bundles of well-aligned MoS2nanofiber with very high aspect ratio. Since the MoS2nanomaterials are often very difficult to prepare and the search for more simple routine is quite valuable with regard to energy-saving and less pollution. It can be demonstrated that the optimum conditions for preparing MoS2nanofiber are at 180 °C for 48 h using citric acid and 180 °C for 24 h by passing H2S in presence of HCl. Under these conditions the morphology of the products resembles to one another.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- "Not as cool," that's what the British Court of Appeal says when it upheld a lower court's decision that Samsung did not infringe on Apple's rights when it designed the Galaxy tablet.
The lower court ruled that the Samsung's Galaxy computers were not as cool because they did not share the same extreme simplicity as Apple's iPad computer tablet.
The court also ordered Apple to publicize the ruling and must make sure consumers are not biased against Samsung.

Approve Cebu post-Yolanda rehab, please-A A +A
By Flornisa M. Gitgano, Justin K. Vestil, Katlene O. Cacho, Razel V. Cuizon and Rebelander S. Basilan
Sunday, July 27, 2014
THREE mayors in the northern towns of Cebu hope to hear that President Benigno Aquino III has approved the Province's post-Yolanda recovery plan when he delivers the State of the Nation Address (Sona) Monday afternoon.
Officials of Cebu and Lapu-Lapu, meanwhile, want to hear how President Aquino plans to improve disaster preparedness in the last two years of his administration.
[Watch President Benigno Aquino III's State of the Nation Address]
Almost two months have passed since the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (PARR) Cabinet cluster approved Cebu's rehabilitation plan, but the Capitol has not yet received feedback that President Aquino has signed it.
Once he signs the plan, it would mean a go-signal for the release of funds.
The Province has asked for P12.2 billion for the rehabilitation of 15 towns and one city in the north that suffered severe damage when Yolanda struck the Visayas last November 8.
"I cannot believe that the National Government is too slow in responding," said Mayor Ricky Ramirez of Medellin.
Ramirez said he was frustrated with the Department of Education, after the town received no help for the repair of its classrooms.
Without the private sector, he added, the students in their town would still be "holding classes under the sun."
Last 2 years
Madridejos Mayor Salvador Dela Fuente said he also hopes that help for communities devastated by Yolanda will be included in the Sona, and that the next two years will include programs related to the rehabilitation of typhoon-affected areas.
San Remigio Mayor Mariano Martinez said he expects to receive updates on the rehabilitation efforts.
Martinez said he also hopes that the Aquino administration's poverty alleviation program for the next two years will continue, like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, which gives cash each month to selected poor families, if they meet some conditions.
"I've got a high poverty incidence in my town and on my own, di ni nako kaya (I cannot solve it)," Martinez said.
Aside from the rehabilitation plan, Ramirez said he would also appreciate if the President would be "repentant on Monday" and express respect for the Supreme Court (SC).
Two weeks ago, in a televised speech, President Aquino questioned the SC's decision to declare unconstitutional parts of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).
He needs to "focus on programs that will work for the improvement of the marginalized sectors of the country. He is just focused on defending his Cabinet and himself," Martinez said. He expressed hope that Aquino would change his mind and approve the resignation of Budget Secretary Florencio Abad, who conceptualized and enforced the DAP.
More on DAP
Talisay City Mayor Johnny de los Reyes, in a separate interview, said he hopes to hear a clearer explanation from President Aquino on how the DAP came to be.
"Paningkamuton gyud niya na ma-esplikar ug tarong ang iyang mga programa pareha anang DAP para mobalik ang pagsalig sa mga tawo sa iya (He needs to explain the DAP better, to revive the people's trust in him)," said de los Reyes.
Minglanilla Mayor Elanito Pena said that while the DAP has its downsides, it has its positive effects as well, only that Aquino must explain it more comprehensively and clearly.
But aside from the DAP, City of Naga Mayor Valdemar Chiong said he hopes the Sona will mention projects and developments for Cebu, like the improvement of road networks, among others.
Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza said she hopes President Aquino will talk about programs aimed at helping local government units (LGUs) prepare for and respond to disasters.
"I want to know what the National Government can do to help LGUs in terms of disaster preparedness and response," she said.
The City has stepped up efforts to make its barangays disaster-resilient since typhoon Yolanda caused massive destruction and killed more than 6,200 persons in the Visayas nine months ago.
It recently tapped the Metro Manila Development Authority to train disaster responders.
Radaza said she also hopes to hear the President reiterate his commitment to support LGUs dependent on tourism.
She thanked the Aquino administration for widening and improving the Mactan Island Circumferential Road. The project, still ongoing, is aimed at addressing traffic congestion and making the road more tourist-friendly.
"We give him credit for his no no-nonsense fight against graft and corruption," said Acting Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella.
But he said he would appreciate it if the Sona mentions initiatives to make the country better prepared against disasters, like the 7.2-magnitude earthquake and super typhoon that struck less than a month apart in the last quarter of 2013.
"Much is desired in so far as disaster response is concerned," Labella pointed out.
Among Cebu City's challenges is finding a safer location for two schools that are in high-risk areas.
Leaders in the business sector recognized the Aquino administration's programs that address pressing concerns such as poverty, education, infrastructure and corruption.
"We hope that the administration would further streamline the functions of various government agencies to reduce bureaucracy, ensure consistency and improve coordination," said Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Jeruel Roa.
He said streamlining would improve government agencies' ability to provide services that will make different sectors more competitive, in light of the full integration of Southeast Asian economies next year.
Rey Calooy, president of the Filipino-Cebuano Business Club Inc., said he expects the administration, in its last two years, to focus on making economic growth inclusive.
"All priority projects under the Aquino administration have been attended to. It is just that we can't see all these projects finished at the same time but what we know is that these projects have already been fast-tracked," said Ma. Teresa Chan, president of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
She said it would be good to see the completion of major infrastructure and the realization of public-private partnership projects in the next two years.
"We also want to see government efforts in tapping overseas Filipinos to become tourism ambassadors of the country," Chan added. (Sun.Star Cebu)

Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS)
As part of an on-going interagency partnership, FDA and NIH awarded $53 million in fiscal year 2013 to establish 14 Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) for tobacco-related research.
As a first-of-its-kind regulatory science tobacco program, TCORS is designed to generate research to inform the regulation of tobacco products to protect public health and train the next generation of tobacco regulatory scientists.
Investing in Tobacco Regulatory Science
Over the course of a five-year period, FDA and NIH will award a total of more than $273 million to the TCORS programs. In turn, these grants provide scientific evidence in the following seven tobacco-related research areas:
- Diversity of tobacco products;
- Reducing addiction;
- Reducing toxicity and carcinogenicity
- Adverse health consequences;
- Communications;
- Marketing of tobacco products; and
- Economics and policies.
This research will help inform and assess FDA's prior, ongoing, and potential future regulatory activities. TCORS investigators will also have the flexibility and capacity to respond to FDA's research needs as issues are raised in today's rapidly evolving tobacco marketplace.
