1) Deep, open collaboration with a great group of colleagues2) Fun, challenging, hands-on work involving core operational changes for clients that goes all the way to seeing real results (not just making recommendations)!3) Entrepreneurial, global perspective
1) Diversity -- we know we need to improve this2) Travel and long working hours, but this is pretty much "part of the deal" in consulting
Consulting is a difficult lifestyle in general, but I wouldn't want to do it anywhere else. I have a great sense of job satisfaction that comes from being continually challenged intellectually with new clients and new situations, working with a tremendous group of colleagues in a very collaborative environment, and feeling that I honestly make a difference for clients as a result of my work.
of 5 stars
I look forward to going to work everyday, even during the downturn.
PRTM provided me the only job I have had in my 30 year career that has held my passion and steep learning curve year after year.
PRTM provides an environement of personal growth through challenging projects
The people at PRTM are the best aspect of the firm. The consultants and the support staff all work collaboratively to success. Since there is no up-or-out policy, the competition is healthy and drives each consultant to improve their knowledge base, skill sets, and experience. I continue to meet fun, interesting, and incredibly smart people on each project, and I have developed many strong friendships with consultants from around the world. It certainly makes working those extended hours much more fun when you enjoy the company of the people with whom you work.
Maintaining a good work-life balance is a challenge, but I strongly believe a clear understanding of my personal and professional priorities is an important requirement.
Overall, PRTM provides an environment of intellectually stimulating project work among intelligent, ambitious, and experienced consultants.
Washington, DC
Our firm hires extraordinary and extraordinarily smart people. They make working for PRTM a pleasure.
Work life balance is required for advancement, but, being a poorly defined concept, is often difficult to achieve. Luckily, the Directors understand that as long as you and your family are happy, work and life are balanced enough.
Truly enjoy my work and feel that my decision to go to PRTM was correct. The public sector is a relatively small portion of my firm's client portfolio and being able to bring commercial consulting expertise is making a tremendous difference in our clients' businesses.
Even at the entry level, the involvement with senior clients, and the closeknit interactions with partners and other consulting staff, provide excellent professional development opportunities.
There is often little structure to internal firm operations, including training, career development, project staffing, sharing of best practices, and so forth.
In terms of overall results, PRTM consistently and effectively delivers value to the client. Projects are generally interesting and provide unparalleled opportunities for interaction with Directors (partners) and other senior staff. Consultants also get significant exposure to the business side of the firm. However, career development is somewhat unstructured, project staffing is typically ad hoc, and training and other personal development opportunities are lacking.

Chicago, IL
Flat organization, 4:1 Director:Consultant ratio, friendly consulting staff, competitive compensation, very positive business outlook, and strong leadership.
Overall the firm has a strong culture which strikes a good balance between client focus and employee needs
The innovative and "start-up" type culture, the ability to define and pursue initiatives at all levels, and the meritocracy approach where consultants move ahead based on their individual capabilities and accomplishments, not compared to their peers.
All things considered, I am very happy working at PRTM. I have the opportunity to work on interesting projects that provide notable value to our clients. In general, with exceptions based on specific clients and projects, my work-life balance is solid. My compensation is very competitive with peers at other consulting firms and opportunities for professional development are sufficient given time constraints associated with the consulting industry.

General Overview
Information technology has transformed the way we live, work, learn, and play while significantly increasing productivity and supporting economic growth across both developed and developing countries. But what impact might IT have on climate change? Three areas are identified and explored here:
- Energy efficiencies and waste reduction within the IT sector
- reducing power consumption in data centers and desktop computing
- reducing e-Waste by eliminating hazard substances from electronic products and providing recycle or takeback plans once products are obsolete.
- Enabling energy efficiencies and waste reduction within other sectors
- providing intelligent systems for monitoring and managing energy use
- Demand Response to automate the levels of energy consumption based on realtime load needs
- Smart Grid offering sensoring, two-way data connectivity, and automation of energy delivery based on realtime need along powerlines
- Energy IT identifies waste in electrical or networking systems and prescribes ways to eliminate or optimize through distribution of energy around a system and to self-heal.
- providing intelligent systems for monitoring and managing energy use
- Providing "dematerialized" or virtual alternatives to high-carbon physical products and services
- increasing use of e-Commerce, Telecommuting, and e-Learning as substitution to paper production, travel, and high-energy consuming facilities

Hillsboro Classic, Day 2
Day two of the Hillsboro Tournament finished with the host school winning both opening games, Hesston girls taking one, and Wamego boys edging out Republic County.
Hillsboro got 20 points and eight boards from senior Christian Ratzlaff and edged a game Goodland by three, 50-47 in a game which both teams had opportunity to win in the final minute of the game. Goodland's Taylen Smith was 10-13 from the field and finished as game high with 21 points.
The Hillsboro girls behind 18 from Addie Lackey who is on her way to Emporia State to continue her career, defeated the Republic County ladies 47-23
The Wamego boys held off Republic County 65-58 in spite of Trevor Allen's double double of 25-10 for the night. Eli Miller finished with 22 points for Wamego.
Hesston's girls defeated Goodland 51-18 and believe it or not, no Swather scored in double figures, but seven had between six and nine points.
Semi-finals and consolation rounds are set for Thursday and Friday and we will link to those so you may check the schedule as well as statistics from the eight games played so far.

text: I know the universe doesn't expand at a speed but rather a rate over distance but if we take two objects on opposite sides of the observable universe, would they be moving away from each other at a greater rate than light? IE if object A was a star and object B was a planet, would the light from the star still be able to reach the planet or would they be moving away from each other faster than light can catch up? And that got me thinking, what if the univere is finite and a galaxy on the "edge" of the universe were to emit light, that light would travel away from the galaxy but only at some point there literally wouldn't be anymore universe for the light to travel into so what happens? To me at least everything we know about the universe (which isn't very much to be honest) but enough for me to think that an infinite universe just makes so much more sense than a finite one. Isn't it much more likely that the universe is infinite because if the universe is everything that exists then it must, by it's own definition, be unbounded and infinite?

Russia and the Ukraine: The Energy Angle Part 2
Prior to Russia's invasion of the Crimea, the United States tried to re-engage Russia as a strategic partner in the Middle East. Moscow has at least one concrete interest that is the same as Washington: radical Islamic jihadism is a national security threat in Moscow. This fact created at least a modest synergy on outcomes in Syria to dismantle chemical weapons and was the basis for some of the optimism the Obama administration had about the Kremlin. As Michael Doran notes in an excellent analysis of the Obama administration's initial approach to the reset with Vladimir Putin as a possible global partner, "In the dawning new era, Syria was seen by the White House as a prototype: a model for stabilizing the Middle East and containing its worse pathologies." However, as Doran also notes, Putin exploited the opening to his advantage, leaving the White House now in a bind with its allies across the Middle East.
In analyzing the future geopolitical aspects of the path forward for US foreign policy vis-a-vis the "Sambo-trained" Putin, the White House might be well advised to revisit the energy geopolitical aspects to the complex set of chess moves now required by Russia's most recent actions. Russia has two material national security interests that relate to its internal stability that apply to the current geopolitical conflicts: thwarting Islamic Sunni jihadism near or inside its borders and keeping oil and gas prices high. The close US relationship with Saudi Arabia and Qatar have thus posed a large threat to the Kremlin, as either or both US allies could throw Moscow a knock-out punch and have in the past used these two levers. A sudden oil price collapse would most certainly be a dire blow to Moscow which depends on oil and gas revenues for over 50 percent of its budget and is already in a $20 billion debt repayment bind to China. Thus, it was in Putin's interests to use the Syrian (and Iranian) negotiations to drive a wedge between the United States and its Gulf allies to try to remove any chance of a US-led Saudi-Qatari jihadist and/or oil price threat now and potentially forever. The United States, on the other hand, similarly needed to ensure that the oil-rich kingdom didn't create a new energy coalition with Russia. The rise of America's own prolific oil and gas resources is complicated that messaging.
It is probably no coincidence that President Putin picked up the telephone to call President Obama while the US leader was on a state visit to Saudi Arabia. A Saudi decision to temporarily flood the oil market to put Mr. Putin under pressure at the negotiating table would be something the Russian leader would certainly want to avoid. And presumably Qatar could debottleneck at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities over time to add to that pressure on the natural gas side to make it harder for Russia to negotiate new contracts with China and others. Qatar was already negotiating with Croatia and Hungary about new LNG contracts prior to the Ukraine conflict. And, Already, the recent landmark, natural gas-linked contract for Azeri natural gas exports to France's GDF Suez based on European natural gas market prices instead of oil-linked terms has put Russian gas-giant Gazprom under increased pressure.
A temporary drop in global oil prices would give the United States and its allies in Europe and the Middle East some tailwinds on the global chess board with Russia, both in Ukraine and in the Mideast. Both Moscow and Iran would find an easing in oil prices far more difficult to manage than the Gulf producers. US environmental supporters of President Obama might be unhappy but truly low oil prices this year would be unlikely throw off the US clean tech boom. The US emphasis on clean tech is even more important now as a long term strategy in the face of the threat of an energy weapon from Russia and growing instability in Venezuela and elsewhere. But the tech boom is likely to keep momentum, regardless of the price of oil. Energy efficient technologies in transport and electricity are already at an "inflection point," as Hal Harvey so aptly notes, and President Putin has created a self-fulfilling prophesy to the benefits of alternative energy. Moscow single-handedly has demonstrated to the world that heavy reliance on petroleum supplies from Russia (and any other dictatorial regime that might have hostile interests to American and European consumers) is a mistake, no matter what the short term oil and gas price trend.
In the United States, virtually no oil is used to produce electricity and solar and distributed energy systems are already competing well, even in the face of low US natural gas prices. A drop in gasoline prices could, perhaps, hit hybrid car sales temporarily but consumers will not likely trust any short term reprieve at the pump when making a long term car purchasing decision. Also, gasoline taxes (used commonly by states to plug budget deficits) could be utilized to make advanced engine technologies remain desirable.
The United States needs to work with our allies in the Middle East and Europe to creatively tap energy geopolitics to rebalance an upper hand with Russia. It is certainly not in Saudi interests to have an emboldened Russia set the agenda in energy markets, Syria, Iran's nuclear negotiations and the future of Europe. And, Brussels is smartly shuttling around to find means to alleviate the natural gas supply pressures in Ukraine and beyond. Washington should support those efforts and push for market liberalization. Finland and Estonia's recent commitment to a new LNG import terminal at Inkoo and Paldiski is also likely a sign of things to come in diversifying Europe's natural gas sources. Putin's moves might also be just the driver needed to get more easily deployed floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) off the ground. At least 2 to 4 FSRUs might be accessible this year and nine additional units are under construction. Europe also has high natural gas stocks to lean on in the short term from lower than expected demand this year.
Much ink has been spilled to highlight Europe's lack of short term options but Moscow would be wise to remember the lessons of both 1973 and 2006. Markets have a way of correcting for politization and new technologies and trading patterns, once deployed, tend to stay in place.

A Myrtle Creek man who said his roommate claimed to have terminal cancer and begged to be put out of his misery was sentenced Monday to 10 years for first-degree manslaughter.
Charles Henry Teal, 29, entered a crowded courtroom and blew a kiss to friends and family. He has been in custody since October 2011 for shooting to death Jeffrey Scott Bension, 39, of Roseburg.
Bension's body was found at about 8 a.m. Oct. 3, 2011, by a hunter on a logging road just off Louis Creek Road, 10 miles northeast of Myrtle Creek.
The Douglas County Major Crimes Team arrested Teal less than 24 hours after Bension's body was found.
He told detectives that he shot Bension in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun and said it was a mercy killing.
Teal pleaded guilty in Douglas County Circuit Court last month to first-degree manslaughter, a Measure 11 crime that comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison. As part of a plea deal, a murder charge, with a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years, was dismissed. Teal also pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon.
Teal's Eugene-based defense attorney, Laura Fine Moro, said Teal believed Bension was dying. "Mr. Teal acted wholly out of mercy," she said.
Deputy District Attorney Steve Hoddle asked Circuit Judge Bill Marshall to sentence Teal to 15 years in prison — 10 years for manslaughter plus five years for the weapons charge. Marshall said doing so would violate an Oregon law, however.
"I looked at this case to see if the law could (allow) me to sentence to 15 years. I can't give it in this case because of the structure of the plea," Marshall said.
Instead, Teal will serve the sentences concurrently for a maximum sentence of 10 years. He was also given credit for the 2½ years he has spent in the Douglas County Jail.
Marshall shared his condolences with Bension's parents, Debi and Fred Peters, and other family members and friends at the hearing.
"I don't understand how anybody can get from valuing human life, loving someone, getting medical attention to pulling the trigger and shooting someone," he said.
Fred Peters said after the hearing that the sentence was too light. "He murdered my son and is only doing 7½ years for it, he said.
Teal's family and friends declined to comment.
Before the sentencing, Debi Peters began to tearfully read a letter to the court but was overcome with emotion. Hoddle finished reading the letter for her.
"Mr. Teal, I've waited over two years to have this conversation with you. No matter what I say to you, our lives are still forever changed," the letter read. "This senseless act took away my right to say a final goodbye to my son. ... It's crystal clear you knew what you did was despicable."
The letter went on to say that Bension left behind two daughters. "I couldn't say to them that you thought you were doing their father a favor. He will not see his daughters grow up," it read.
An emotional Teal also addressed the court.
"I just would like the family to know I'm deeply sorry for the pain that I've caused them, and I will accept the punishment," he said.
Bension had moved into a home Teal shared with his girlfriend and two other women shortly before the shooting.
Teal told detectives the men drove to the logging road at about 10 p.m. Oct. 2. Bension placed identification and Social Security cards in his shoe, laid on the ground and begged Teal to "end his pain," according to court documents.
He said Bension spent several minutes persuading Teal to shoot him, and he finally did. He checked his pulse and confirmed Bension was dead.
Teal said he then returned home and hid the shotgun in his garage and threw the empty casing in bushes behind his home in the 300 block of Northwest Division Street in Myrtle Creek.
Teal told detectives that he then asked his girlfriend to call 911 and report hearing two men fighting and the sound of a gunshot in the 300 block of Louis Creek Road. Emergency dispatchers received the report at about 10:40 p.m. A deputy searched the area but was unable to find a disturbance, according to court documents.
After Bension's body was discovered, detectives served a search warrant at the home and found the weapon.
An autopsy found Bension did not have cancer.
Other friends and acquaintances, however, told investigators that Bension said he had cancer, according to court documents.
Portland-based psychologist Robert Stanulis, who testified before Teal's sentencing, said Teal is remorseful for his actions.
Stanulis said Teal experienced a traumatic childhood that influenced his decision to shoot and kill Bension. "He gave (Bension) the gift he wished he had," he said. "He was trying to escape from the pain."
Fine Moro in an interview described Teal as "a very good man."
"Everyone we spoke to preparing for the case said he would give the shirt off his back and was the kind of guy you'd want as your neighbor. He found himself in a horrible situation, which triggered his post-traumatic stress, and he made a decision he will regret for the rest of his life," she said. "There are no winners here. We feel a 10-year sentence is just."
Teal was also sentenced to three years post-prison supervision and will have to pay $572 in restitution to the victim's family.

Their album Sacred Earth Drums became the #1 selling native drumming album in 1994, 1995 into 1996 and remains to this day still on the best-sellers lists. With this success they continued to produce: Sacred Spirit Drums, Drum Medicine and Sacred Drum Visions.
The dynamic of world dance rhythms, the serenity of native flutes, the expressiveness of guitar, the mood of synthesizers and the powerful beat of native drums, have resulted in a new kind of music, which has already proven influential in changing the direction of contemporary Native sounds and New Age music as a whole. David and Steve Gordon have pioneered New Age/World music with their award-winning top charting albums for over twenty years. Their influential trademark sound, combining world instruments and sounds of nature has sold over two million units worldwide and has appeared on network TV and major motion picture scores. Since founding Sequoia Records in 1982, the Gordon brothers have been breaking musical ground, consistently creating albums that top the charts, garner awards, and expanding the boundaries of New Age, Body/Mind & Spirit and World music. Their first six albums combined sounds of nature blended with music to reflect the beauty and healing properties of natural environments. Beginning in 1994 with their new love for Tribal drums and Native American flute, they created six more albums blending contemporary native music with traditional Native instruments. Then in 2002, they began a new sub-label, Sequoia Groove, featuring the new sounds of trip-hop lounge music.
Drum Medicine easily straddles the broadening line of world tribal music with a danceable cadence and easy listening. Deep inside you will know this music. You have heard it echoing in the canyons of your soul.
This is music that touches the spirit, being timeless, compelling, life changing, with the overall added element of pure joy flowing through every offering. Listen, as the healing power of the drum moves you... to dance, to dream, to life!

Cameron Wright looks like an athlete.
With his broad frame, you might mistake him for a basketball player. With his broad shoulders, you might mistake him for a safety or a defensive back. But it is his bleach-blond hair that gives him away, revealing how much time he has spent in the pool.
And all of that time in the pool has paid off in a selection to a U.S. National Water Polo Cadet Squad, which will travel to play in Serbia from Aug. 9 through 18.
Wright, who will be a sophomore at Davis High in the fall and has already proven himself as a standout water polo player and swimmer, is one of two Davis Water Polo Club athletes invited to play on U.S. national teams. The other, recent Lodi High graduate Nic Carniglia, recently got to wear a U.S. Senior cap in an exhibition at Schaal Aquatics Center and will continue to play for his country on the men's Youth Team.
Late last month, Wright earned his spot during a tryout camp at Costa Mesa High. He says he found out on the last day of that event — June 26 — that he had made the Cadet Team.
"I kind of already knew that I was going to be on the team because in the last scrimmage, the group of 99s (players born that year) were scrimmaging the groups of 97s and 98s. I was on the group of 99s and that was exactly the amount of people who were selected," Wright said. "I was really excited when I saw that because I'm really excited to go."
For Wright, it was another case of hard work paying off as the training camp practices were grueling.
"A water polo practice with your club team feels so much different from a water polo practice where you're being evaluated and trying to get selected," Wright explained. "Everything you do, you're trying to do it the best you can because you think, 'Maybe there's a coach watching; I want to impress them.' So the things you're doing physically are the same, but you feel so much more tired afterwards."
But it was all worth it as Wright now prepares to head to Serbia in just over a month. Recently a ninth-grader at Harper Junior High, this will be Wright's first time leaving the country. He says when he goes to Serbia, he wants to be able to make friends with the people and learn the culture, as well as represent his country by playing his best:
"I want to meet the people there and see what their culture is like because the farthest I've ever been away from home is (Washington, D.C.) I want to experience different stuff.
Wright added: "It's good to play against players who are better than you because it elevates your game, and you play to that level. So playing against the teams like Serbia and Croatia, they're going to be really good, and I'm going to play to that level and hopefully that will prepare me for high school season."
If the experience helps him elevate his game, prep opponents had better watch out. In helping the Blue Devils capture their second consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section championship last fall, Wright was third on the squad with 47 goals and earned an SJS honorable mention.
He also had success in the pool last spring, getting another section title as a member of the DHS boys swim team.
But the aquatic success comes as little surprise as Wright grown up around the pool. Dad Jamey Wright is the UC Davis women's water polo coach — and the program director and coaching coordinator at the DWPC — and siblings Michael and Hailey are each former Devil standouts who now play for the Aggie teams. Their uncle Doug is the DHS girls coach.
"I probably started playing because I would always come to the pool with my dad because he was coaching my sister or my brother. That's sort of how I got started," Cameron Wright said. "I'll have a practice and most people go home and their parents don't know that much about water polo, but I'll go home and I'll talk to my dad about it and it think it helps; it pushes me forward."
When he gets back from Serbia, Wright's attention will shift to his sophomore season with the Blue Devils, where he will be on a talented squad that also features senior stars like Jeff Stark, Conrad McCarthy and Brad Nicholson. It's a program that has churned out recent standouts Connor Stapleton, now playing at Stanford, and Garrett Fisk, who will suit up for the Air Force Academy starting in the fall.
The DHS team is a perfect environment for Wright because he loves winning.
"We're trying to win sections," Wright explained. "Jesuit's probably the favorite right now because they didn't graduate very many people. We know if we play really well as a team and swim hard, that we can definitely go all the way."
And Wright wants to continue to play winning water polo when he gets to college, but he isn't sure where just yet. He does know that sports won't be the only thing he looks for when he makes his choice:
"I plan on playing water polo in college. My whole family has gone to UC Davis, but I don't know if I'm going to go there. I'm not going to make my decision purely based off water polo; I'm going to try and find what I'm interested in academically in the next three years of high school."

On Wednesday, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière revealed a draft law to tighten rules on Internet privacy that combines self-regulation with new rules making it illegal to gather certain kinds of information, reports Deutsche Welle. De Maizière said that while he's not interested in limiting the opportunities available on the Internet, he considers it "a particularly serious invasion of privacy rights" when sites "publish data that has been aggregated with commercial interests in mind" and which "yield a comprehensive personality of travel profile," states the report. Data protection commissioners criticized the draft law, saying it does not go far enough--especially regarding self-regulation.

Wide wavelength ranges of light localization and scattering characteristics can be attributed to shape-dependent longitude surface plasmon resonance in complicated nanostructures. We have studied this phenomenon by spectroscopic measurement and a three-dimensional numerical simulation, for the first time, on the high-density branched silver nanowires and nanomeshworks at room temperature. These nanostructures were fabricated with simple light-induced colloidal method. In the range from the visible to the near-infrared wavelengths, light has been found effectively trapped in those trapping sites which were randomly distributed at the corners, the branches, and the junctions of the nanostructures in those nanostructures in three dimensions. The broadened bandwidth electromagnetic field enhancement property makes these branched nanostructures useful in optical processing and photovoltaic applications.
Noble metal nanostructures supporting surface plasmons arising from the coherent oscillations of the conduction electrons under the radiation of the incident light have been widely investigated [1–24]. The optical spectral signatures of the plasmonic nanostructures are mainly dependent on the distribution of the electromagnetic field on the surface of the metal nanostructures. When the size of the metal nanostructures is smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, they support localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at particular resonance wavelengths [1]. The LSPR properties of the plasmonic nanostructures are size and shape dependent [1–3]. With the increase of the size of the metal nanostructures, high-order resonance occurs owing to the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode interferences. For example, metal nanowires support the Fabry-Perot (FP) modes [6], micron-size metal nanoplates support the whispering gallery modes [7], and the flag type of metal nanostructure supports competitive LSPR and FP modes simultaneously [23]. These metal nanostructures with regular shapes usually exhibit narrow-band resonance characteristic seen from their extinction spectra.
As well known, on the contrary to those elemental nanoparticles, metal nanostructures with complicated geometries, such as nanochains and branched nanowires assembled or fused by the elemental nanoparticles, show enhanced light-trapping ability [8–24]. When the metal nanoparticles are in close proximity or jointed together, the intensity of the localized electromagnetic field at the corner area and the junctions of these nanostructures are dramatically enhanced owing to the existing plasmon coupling between different propagation modes or resonance modes [8, 9]. It is usually accompanied by obvious redshift and extension of their resonance bands [3, 9]. The overall optical properties including obvious light-trapping and scattering enhancement in a wide wavelength range make these complicated metal nanostructures highly desirable in improving the performance of bio-chemical sensors [21, 22], solar cells [24, 25], and wide-bandwidth light-emitting diodes [26]. Although considerable progress has been made in the fabrication methods of such complicated metal nanostructures, such as laser welding [8–10], sintering triggered thermally [11] or chemically [12], electrodeposition [13], microwave irradiation [14], and chemical synthesis methods [15–22], it is still a challenge to fabricate high-yield metal nanostructures with excellent light-trapping property in a wide wavelength range to meet the practical demands for a large-scale production.
In this study, we present a simple and facile light-induced colloidal method to fabricate high-density branched silver nanowires and nanomeshworks. These complicated nanostructures showed significant light-trapping and scattering properties in the wide range from the visible to the near-infrared wavelengths, arising from the shape-dependent longitude surface plasmon resonance. The broadened bandwidth electromagnetic field enhancement characteristic makes these nanostructures useful in optical processing and photovoltaic applications.
The fabrication process of the branched silver nanowires and nanomeshworks includes two steps.
The first step is the synthesis of the silver seeds. A 5-mL amount of 0.5 M trisodium citrate, 0.5 mL of 0.05 M l-arginine, 0.15 mL of 0.5 M polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP), and 0.2 mL of 0.5 M silver nitrite were added to 7 mL of deionized water while stirring slowly. Then, 2 mL of 0.4 M sodium borohydride (NaBH4) was added to the solution slowly drop by drop. The color of the silver seed solution changed to dark brown rapidly.
Compared with the conventional silver nanowire solution, silver solution prepared in our way containing branched nanostructures shows greatly enhanced light-trapping and scattering characteristics in a wide wavelength range. The two-step light-induced chimerical colloidal method used here was first reported by Pietrobon and Kitaev for the synthesis of decahedral silver nanoparticles [2]. The scheme of the light exposure process is shown in Figure 1a. Surprisingly, silver nanostructures with distinct morphology and optical spectral signatures were found when we increased the material concentration by 100 times higher. Figure 1b shows the extinction spectra of the silver solution measured by a fiber-optic spectrometer (PG2000, Ideaoptics Technology Ltd., Shanghai, China) and the photographs of the solution samples at different exposure times. The first step is the synthesis of the silver seed solution. As shown in the inset of Figure 1b, the color of the diluted silver seed solution (exposure time is 0 h) is light yellow. As shown in the extinction spectrum, a narrow resonance band at 420 nm corresponding to the LSPR wavelength of typical silver nanospheres with a diameter of several nanometers [3] can be observed. The second step is the light-induced regrowth process of the silver nanostructures which is highly dependent on the material concentration. At a low concentration as reported in [2], decahedral silver nanoparticles with uniform sizes and shapes are the ultimate product. However, when the material concentration was increased by 100 times, the ultimate products containing mainly the branched nanowires and nanomeshworks can be observed. As seen from the extinction spectra, the resonance band at 420 nm decreased, and the absorption ratio in the longer wavelength increased obviously with the increase of the exposure time. As the welded metal nanobranches and nanomeshworks increased, the color of the solution darkened rapidly with the extension of the exposure time, which is shown in the inset of Figure 1b. After a 5-h exposure procedure, the color of the solution turned to black which is obviously different from silver nanoparticles with regular shapes, such as bared nanowires [4] or nanoplates [3]. The optical spectra and the photographs of the solution are strong evidences to show that the ultimate silver nanostructures can trap light effectively in a broad wavelength range from the visible to the near-infrared wavelengths.
To investigate the light-trapping property of these nanostructures, we use three-dimensional FEM to simulate the electric field distribution of the branched nanostructures. Rectangular wave incoming from the upper x y plane was set as the source boundary. The other outer boundaries were set as the scattering boundary condition. The cladding layer surrounding the silver nanostructures is water with a refractive index n = 1.33. The dispersion coefficient of water is neglected in the simulation. The dielectric constant of silver is taken from [29].
The above simulation results indicate that such randomly constructed silver nanostructures with rough surfaces and multi-branches have high light-trapping efficiency, in accordance with the measured extinction spectra.
In this study, we introduce a simple chemical method for the fabrication of high-density branched silver nanostructures. Both experimental measurement and relative three-dimensional numerical simulation results show that these nanostructures have significant properties as follows: First, these branched silver nanostructures have significant light-trapping and scattering properties in a broad wavelength range. Second, light can propagate in a longer distance along the waveguide-like plasmonic nanostructures to improve the interaction between the surrounding materials and light. Third, the fabrication routes with easy operation and high yields meet the satisfaction of the large-scale production. These properties make such nanostructures useful in practice applications, such as photovoltaics, bio-chemical sensing, and optical processing.

Early Easter Egg! Free Veteran Weekend!
To celebrate the first month of fighting on the Easter(n) front, we're having a FREE VETERAN MEMBERSHIP WEEKEND this coming weekend as an early Easter Egg for all players.
The event starts Friday the 27th of March at 10:00 US EDT / 15:00 CET and ends Monday the 30th of March at 09:00 US EDT / 15.00 CEST. Click the dates to see when this is in your timezone and note that the European Union switches to Daylight Savings Time in the middle of the event as well JUST to add a pinch of confusion.
NB: As usual if you already have an active Veteran Membership during this weekend, we will extend it with 3 free days! In order to participate in the FREE VETERAN WEEKEND you must have an active account that has played at least one staged or war mission before Friday.
[UPDATE: Fixed] Hardware errors at hosting center.
UPDATE: Servers back up! Enjoy!
First of all, sorry for today's long downtime. What has happened is that an important server in the game's backend decided to fry its memory. When the server technicians at the hosting center then replaced the memory, something else apparently broke and they had to pull the server down again. Somewhere along the lines the main boot disk then decided "hey, I want attention as well" and corrupted itself.
What has happened so far is that the server has been booted from a rescue set and we are making sure nothing else has broken and are checking that all data is correct, creating another just-in-case backup in case something else decides to break, and then the server technicians at the hosting center are working on getting the OS back up and running and hopefully get everything back to normal as soon as we have verified that all backups are correct and that no data has been lost.
Again! SORRY for the inconvenience and rest assured that we are working as fast as WE can and doing our best to make sure that the server techs at the hosting center are as well!
Timoshenko Update: Here's Bobik!
While advancing across the battlefield you might have seen a strange new vehicle. A small, fast scout car used by Soviet Mechanized Recon Assault Teams. This is the BA-64B aka the 'Bobik'.
The design is roughly based on the German SdKfz 222, but armed with a Degtyaryov machinegun instead of a cannon, this fast 4×4 is very effective at transporting recon units long distances fast while protecting them from small arms fire, but if driving this pay attention to enemies armed with cannons or Anti-tank weapons and stay well away.
Being smaller and lighter armored than its German and American counterparts it is also cheaper to produce and easier to operate. This it both reflected in how soon you get access to it, where it unlocks when you reach the rank of "Senior Praporshchik" (rank 10) AND in the price to field and use it where it approximately 35% cheaper than the American & German counterparts.
Limited-Time Offer: 50% DISCOUNT on Soviet Officers, Generals & Assault Teams – ENDED!
UPDATE: Offer has ended
To help to get the Soviet faction kickstarted in the Campaign Game we are offering a time-limited discount. This is your chance to get your general gameplay going and get in on the Soviet faction with a hefty discount.
For a LIMITED-TIME only:
On Soviet Officers, Soviet Generals
and Soviet Assault Teams
'Timoshenko' update introducing the Soviet faction is now live!
This latest update brings the Soviet Union to the war as the third playable faction! 3 Factions fight for domination on 3000 battlefields (1000 new). The update is named Timoshenko (after the Soviet marshal and military commander Semyon Timoshenko) and here's a quick overview of the new features we've added for you to enjoy!
New Features
There is of course much more happening in the build, so continue reading for more details…
Timoshenko Update: Tank Destroyer, Medium & Heavy Tank Overview

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Angels know how to bounce back.
John Lackey fell behind early before Anaheim rallied behind
three RBI from Troy Glaus to beat Oakland 6-2 Sunday to close
within one game of the AL West-leading Athletics with a week to
"We got to keep pushing," Lackey said. "We got to be at our
best these next couple of games."
After losing Friday's series opener, the Angels won two straight
and head to Texas for a four-game series starting Monday before
closing with three games at Oakland. The A's, who hold a two-game
lead over the Rangers, host Seattle for four games starting Monday.
"It's going to be an interesting finish," Oakland manager Ken
Macha said.
Mark Mulder (17-7) was knocked out in the fourth inning, his
shortest outing this season. Oakland, which has had sole possession
of the division lead since Aug. 6, dropped to 10-14 in September.
"If we don't turn it around, we're in trouble," left fielder
Eric Byrnes said.
Before the game, the Angels suspended left fielder Jose Guillen
for the rest of the season for an outburst after being lifted for a
pinch runner a day earlier and said he would remain suspended if
the team advances to the postseason. Guillen is hitting .294 with
27 homers and a career-high 104 RBI.
"He understands the line he crossed," Angels manager Mike
Scioscia said. "We had to do something with Jose. It was an issue
getting in the way of winning."
Lackey (14-12) gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings,
improving to 10-4 since June 16 and evening the season series at
eight apiece.
"My changeup has made my fastball more effective. It's really
been a great tool for me. I had a breakthrough game with it against
Texas," he said, referring to a July 28 win. "Ever since then
I've really trusted it."
Glaus and David Eckstein homered for Anaheim, which pulled away
with two runs in the eighth off Arthur Rhodes.
Mulder gave up four runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings, his
second straight poor performance. On Tuesday, he lasted four
innings in a 9-4 loss at Texas, giving up nine runs for the first
time since Aug. 10, 2000.
"Everything kind of feels flat, and nothing is really sinking
the way it should. It's just kind of sliding across the strike
zone, and that's making things a little more hittable," Mulder
said. "He usually would never come and get me that early, but I've
also never pitched the way that I'm pitching right now. I'm not
going to help the team by doing what I'm doing."
Mulder is scheduled to start Friday, but Macha said he would
discuss it with the left-hander on Monday.
"It's extremely difficult. He's our horse. We've relied on him
all year," Macha said. "The kid does nothing but give you all
he's got out there, but we're in a pennant race."
Eric Chavez hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Oakland's first run
in the first inning, but Glaus' RBI single tied the game in the
bottom half.
Guillen's replacement, Adam Riggs, gave the Angels a 2-1 lead
with an RBI double off the center-field wall in the second, and
Glaus hit a two-run homer in the third that made it 4-1.
One of Lackey's two wild pitches led to Oakland's second run,
scoring Byrnes in the fifth.
Oakland put two on with one out in the eighth, but Erubiel
Durazo flied out against Francisco Rodriguez -- Durazo was so
frustrated that he tapped his bat against his helmet -- and Jermaine
Dye grounded out.
Bengie Molina squeezed home a run for the Angels in the bottom
half, and Eckstein homered later in the inning.
Game notes
Twenty of Anaheim's last 32 wins have been comebacks. ...
Oakland has spent 52 straight days in first place. ... Anaheim RF
Vladimir Guerrero received the Gene Autry owner's trophy as team
MVP in voting by the players, ending a three-year run by Garret
Anderson. ... The Angels set a franchise season attendance record
with 3,375,677, including 43,512 for Sunday's final regular-season
home game.

Hayden had confirmed that the Bush administration only waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zabaydah, and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashirit for one minute each. I told Franks that I didn't believe that. Sure enough, one of the newly released torture memos reveals that Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times and Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times. One of Stephen Bradbury's 2005 memos asserted that "enhanced techniques" on Zubaydah yielded the identification of Mohammed and an alleged radioactive bomb plot by Jose Padilla.…

Anthony Hall is like many other 9/11 skeptics. At some point, after examining the events of 9/11 and the international consequences of that foul deed, (particularly the
consequences that befell countries with a predominantly Arab/Muslim population), Mr. Hall decided to speak out. The difference between Hall and most 9/11 skeptics, is that Mr. Hall is a sitting academic at a university in Lethbridge, Alberta, in Canada.
Hall joined a growing list of Canadian academics who have chosen to speak out publicly; John McMurtry , Graeme MacQueen , Michael Keefer , and of course, Michel Chossudovsky , a pioneer in 9/11 skepticism.…

Former 9/11 Commission Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton recently made some bizarre comments about the Zacarias Moussaoui case in an interview for Vanity Fair. The interview was used for a wide-ranging and very interesting oral history of the Bush White House. Hamilton's comments appear to show complete ignorance of a key aspect of the investigation of which he was vice chair.
Moussaoui was arrested on an immigration violation due to suspicions he was planning to hijack an aircraft by the Minneapolis FBI on 16 August 2001, nearly four weeks before 9/11.…
Intro comments from Reprehensor, of 911blogger.com: I met John Hankey at John Judge's 2006 COPA conference in Dallas. I was at first skeptical of Hankey's conclusions; that the Bush Crime Family is tied to not only the assassination of JFK, but that JFK Jr. was also assassinated, with George Walker Bush in Hankey's sites as a suspect. After watching his presentation in Dallas, I was convinced that Hankey is a serious researcher, who raises some important issues.…

Since the days of Sir Isaac Newton, Science has proceeded through the publication of peer-reviewed papers. Peer-review means a thorough reading, commentary and even challenge before publication by "peers", that is, other PhD's and professors. This paper was thoroughly peer-reviewed with several pages of tough comments that required of our team MONTHS of additional experiments and studies. It was the toughest peer-review I've ever had, including THREE papers for which I was first author in NATURE.…

For several years now, self-styled "debunkers" have been claiming that William Rodriguez has been lying about the testimony he gave to the 9/11 Commission in 2004. For example, on Mark Roberts' website, Roberts mocks Rodriguez;
"January, 2009: As promised, many of the 9/11 Commission investigation records have been made public. There is a wealth of material online, with more to come. I'm sure William Rodriguez will want to get the copies of the notes made by two investigators who interviewed him, to prove his claim that his story hasn't changed from the start and that the Commission attempted to cover it up.

Hadrian, a warrior with nothing to fight for, is paired with Royce, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. But it isn't gold or jewels that their employer is after; if he can keep them from killing each other, they might just get him his prize.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"rubbish! but i liked it"
like my TRex records, this is simple juvenile nonsense but i enjoyed it.
the novel is full of holes and the plot is at time unbelievable -but i loved listening. sadly the authors little dialogue at the beginning has convinced me that he is just a poor writer who thinks he is better than he actually is. However, that said i loved listening to this and the other stories with Hadrian and Royce.
No where near quality or GRR Martin or Abercrombie..but read this -or listen and enjoy it-i didi. incidentally i listened to Bernard Cornwell's Pagan Lord in his Saxon series and the sheer quality in comparison to Sullivan was obvious, like FORD KA compered to a Volkswagen Touran ..if you want a quality Epic try Brian Ruckley
"Good time Killer"
Good Time Killer
A few twists and turn.
Good rendition
some interest .
The author's introduction. pretentious much, my god be proud of your work but be magnanimous in success. really put my nose up.
"Excelent Prequel or Sequel to the Riyria series"
Having listened to the other three books in the series I was at first disappointed that I hadn't started with this one as it technically comes before the three books in the series chronologically speaking.
But I wasn't disappointed when I listened to it as it fills in things alluded to in the revelations books and also stands on its own as a very well written book. Whether you have listed to to Revelations series or not you will enjoy this immensely.
The author narrates his own introduction to the book which I thought added a personal touch as he explains his reasons for writing the prequel after the Revelations series and give us some insight into how he views the charters etc.
If you are unsure about reading the Revelations trilogy which are incredibly good value in terms of length give this a read as it's only 12 hours long and if you enjoy it you can look forward to the rest of the series.
If you are like me and have read the other three books and enjoyed them you will love this book. Can't wait to listen to some more.
"Twists and turns from the 1st minute to the last."
Good Cracking Listern. Well worth the monie. not my normal type of book but well worth it.
Would not want to spoil the listerners experience but its the boat trip.
had to listern to 1 more chapter, well in to the night.
have listern to book 2 as well, cant wait till book 3.
"A great prequel"
Story – 5/5
Considering I wasn't exactly swept away by the original trilogy (although still enjoyed it well enough), I absolutely loved this prequel. It is a lot shorter, therefore I felt the pacing was spot on, and I thought there was a bit more brutality, which Sullivan seemed a bit reluctant of in his first set of stories.
It is set 10 years before the events of the Riyria revelations – and tells the story of when Hadrian and Royce first met. My favourite part had to be the backstory of Gwen though – but I am a sucker for backstory.
According to something I read on the internet, Sullivan plans to write 10 of these chronicle books to represent each of the 10 years prior to the Revelations trilogy. Lots to look forward to then…
Performance –4.5/5
Tim Gerard Reynolds did a great job. I felt he trivialised danger in the original trilogy, which wasn't the case in this story – which makes me think I was a little hard on him in my previous reviews. It must have been the prose.
His voice acting is great – very consistent with his other readings thus far – making it all the easier to get back into this world.
Overall – 5/5
"Great entertainment!"
A nice balance to the book.
I particularly liked the banter between the two main characters.
The story kept my interest all the way through and the best tale I've enjoyed on from the Audible site.
"Great books"
I love these stories so much i've listened to them all twice and will recommend to my friends
"loved it"
This is my first book by Sullivan I really enjoyed it , easy to get into, I am looking forward to reading the next.
"Maybe good as a prequel, but else it's rather poor"
Not so sure. It is well read, but the story is poor. I suspect it makes a lot of sense if you've read the original series, else you've just got a book with an annoying proto-hero, which has been written solely with the view that you must read the next.
Made it more stand alone. Not tried so hard to make it a prequel. A presumably strong character (in the originals) here is weak and annoying.
If you're a fan of the original series then this, the first of a prequel series, maybe good, but as a new reader to Riyria it is not very good.
"Left me wanting more!"
The characters in this story have real depth which matches the
Story line which leaves you wanting to read more
I got completely wrapped in this one straight away.
The perfect narrator for this epic tale he really
Brings the characters and story to life.
