Review: Apple Mail 6 features better search, VIP email treatment
The previous version of Mail looked radically different from its predecessors. The new Mail 6 that comes with Mountain Lion seems nearly identical—its changes are small.
Postbox offers a serious alternative to Apple's Mail app
Postbox 3 is a superb, and inexpensive, upgrade for those who want more out of their email client than Apple's Mail provides.
Chrome 21 is a browser built more for speed than style
What it lacks in surface refinements, it more than makes up for in raw power.
Maxthon 1.0 browser is fast, has roots in Chrome
A browser made in China that has made it to the U.S. and the Mac. Maxthon is a blisteringly fast, undeniably slick way to navigate the web.
Use TrackSift to tidy up your iTunes library
No matter how hard you try to keep your iTunes library tidy, sooner or later you'll find cobwebs growing in its corners. TrackSift deletes non-existant files, isolates tracks that lack album art, consolidates genres, and more.
Safari 6 a slight but sleek upgrade for Apple's browser
Under Mountain Lion, Safari is a blast to use, and its relatively few additions all prove worthwhile.
Firefox 14 a worthy alternative to Safari
Firefox 14 lands pleasantly between Safari's slick design sense and Chrome's quickness.
Opera 12: A work in progress finally shows real improvements
If you don't need the fastest performance, you enjoy marching to the beat of your own drummer, and you want one program for both web browsing and email, you'll find Opera 12 a harmonious addition to your work and play on the Web.
Battle through a broken world in Bastion
Bastion resembles every other quest-adventure game since The Legend of Zelda: Explore. But Supergiant Games have made this game fun with inspired embellishments.
Zengobi Curio Core 7.4.3 holds your best ideas
Curio Core is one of the more expensive organizer options in the Mac App Store. But it's not the priciest; it offers a lot more features than many cheaper apps; and it presents them in a friendly, easy-to-learn package.
Seven years after its critically acclaimed and commercially ignored debut, Double Fine's Psychonauts has finally made it to the Mac. Happily, this game is worth every second of the wait.
Manuscript 1.0 is an appealing but uneven app for novelists
With November's National Novel Writing Month almost upon us, Mac-using writers have no shortage of noveling programs to choose from. Black Mana Studios' Manuscript distinguishes itself from the pack by helping writers craft novels with an easier path to publication.
StoryMill 4.0 ideal for ultra-organized novel writers
If you plan your novels with military precision, Mariner Software's StoryMill 4.0.4 could be the right ally to launch your literary assault.
Light and fleet, the mail app dubbed Sparrow lives up to its name. Free from extraneous features, Sparrow does nothing but Gmail and IMAP email in an efficient and elegant fashion.
While Opera 11.5 calls itself a browser, it feels like it really wants to be more than that. But in trying to do so, this perpetual innovator's latest version falls short.

Gift - SalaDays 2013 by Ai-BeeWatch
©2013-2016 Ai-Bee
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone!
I'm just gonna post this up now because it's finished- my other x-mas gifts will have to wait til' tomorrow.
This is for *Tyshea, aka my favorite person in the world. You might be outta town right now, but I can still spoil you rotten, right?
These are her SalaDays OCs; Ash the vampire, Autumn the banshee, Mint the werewolf, and Ren the death god-- and the reason we met, more or less. I've drawn Autumn and Mint before here and there, but I think it was a good excuse to draw them all together. :'P Please accept this CYMK nonsense, my love.
Done in SAI in a day because I went crazy.
Thanks for looking, and for faving/commenting/watching!
I must say whenever I read ur stories (even the character descrips) I feel so energized. Like immersed right in their world. Its an awesome feeling and ty.
What do I even say to you, seriously
How could I explain how much this means to me, and how much you spoiled me at the end of 2013. You're really a punk, you know that?
I already told you how much I love this picture, but I guess it wouldn't feel right not to type up something too, for old times sake u////u
When you draw these girls, I feel something weird. Probably because I made them at a time I was really lonely and holding onto things I should have let go of, or maybe because they've been through so much with me. But when I see you draw them, I really feel like I can give them a new start the way I had always planned to... I guess that's the magic of having you in my life. The promise of getting better.
Thank you for everything, my Christmas gift this year, as it has been for 5 years, was definitely your love and support, and your ability to inspire me to grow
I love you
OH. MY. GOSH. YES. especailly mint here. and ren. gdi, doggybone ftw. and look at ash's lil hairflip aaaahww, plus autumn being a fricking queen, get outta town
I'm not sure who takes credit for it but I love those elfy ears with the bat wing earrings <2
I drew this but the outfits and designs are all Ty's ideas, so we'll just say the compliment's directed at her! Thank you!
WAAHHH Ai-Bee I love how these guys look in your style uvu
I love the colour schemes Ty chose for these guys and I think it really suits how you chose to draw this picture with the
clean lines and bold colours ;v;
I like how you put each colour from the pallete in with each girl to accent their clothes, it looks so cool and
makes the whole image pop and look reall great ahhh ;v;
Ahhh thank you!! I honestly got quite a kick out of drawing them in my style after so long u////u compared to older fanart I've done, omg (ノ)´∀`(ヾ)
Ty really loves the CMYK look for these guys, so I couldn't help but indulge her. I think it fits them so well!! and I love bold lineart. 8//|;;
Gosh though omg thank you so much (again) fdhdfgsjf I'm glad you like it so much!!
You;re welcome bee uvu~
Ahhh uvu Yes you've like improved so much eve~
Yeah I agree it does uvu I love how you guys colour scheme your characters! (like both you and Ty uvu)
You both have such good sense of colour and palette.
You are welcomeee >w<
ACK! So awesome! I miss my SalaDays!
I'm gonna keep freaking out over mint tho
Awesomeness! WOOO!
SO MANY CUTIES IN CYMK -rolls in it-
!!! Aaaaa, it's so cool to see the gals in your style (oh my god I love Mint's outfit the most, she is so stylin')! I love how you get across the personality of each of them through their poses and clothes uwu
Happy Holidays to you too! I hope you had a good one~
Happy Holidays to you too! I hope you had a good one~
Ahhh I-I have to admit I couldn't agree more!! I loved drawing them, it was a little indulgent.
I'm so happy you think that about personalities through poses ahhh!!
Thank you, they were! I hope your holidays were good as well!
This....... is an awesome xmas gift Bee!! I am glad you posted it so we also get to bask in your glory. First off: ONE DAY!!! Holy shit, I salute you
Secondly: GYYYYAAAAHHHHH, I love your use of colour and poses. Ash looks pissed as always, Autumn looks so devious and up to no good, Mint looks damn tough and Ren.... I just wanna give her a hug.
Also I noticed that they each have one of the outfits from that big piece Ty did, nice job incorporating those
Merry Christmas!, even though it´s a bit late form my end
This is amazing!!!!!!!!i love how each of their expressions fit perfect with the personality of each girl!!!!!!!
And off course i looooove Ash´s t-shirt!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing!!!!!!!!i love how each of their expressions fit perfect with the personality of each girl!!!!!!!
And off course i looooove Ash´s t-shirt!!!!!!!!!
Heeheeeheee thank you so much!! I thought it was pretty clever too!
They all look so fab ;v; and though I'm of course partial to mint but they all look so lovely -asplodes-
They all look so fab ;v; and though I'm of course partial to mint but they all look so lovely -asplodes-
Everyone is fabulous, but Autumn just takes the cake!
y love your style. It makes me happy and giddy. Your line art it's great and your expressions are so worked that everything just looks natural. Keep up good work bee!!! it's great!!!
Happy Holidays for you too!!!!!
Aw, man. This is definitely one of the greatest things to fill in the space for the holiday by far. I know it's been a while since we've gotten much from these girls, but I can imagine that we're definitely anxious to see where they end up taking us along the way.
I hope that the holidays have been going well for you, as well as Ty, too. I know it's not much but you guys should definitely have th best holiday that you can, and a successful means to wrap up the year as well. Always fantastic, my mentor. e

Ahhh thank you! I'm happy to hear that
And I know it's a bit late, but the holidays were good for both of us, and we're really looking forward to this new year
Thanks again!
You are very welcome, friend. Honestly, it's very good to hear that you and Ty were able to have a very nice holiday together. I do hope that the new year's been good for you so far, and will have many other fruitful moments in the days ahead.
god i swear Autumn looks more and more devious everytime i see her and it ends up me being more scared of her. I mean come on look at that smile you know she is up to something! fucking hell man …. Ash is a grumpy pants haha Mint looks sassy (maybe checking out some bones) and Ren looks like she wants a hug, I'll give her a hug, hugs are nice . I was gonna say I'm gonna hide behind a wall to hide from Autumn but she can phase through wall…fucking hell man…no escape… Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays man!! Hope you had a good one!!!
yeah dude omg *late reply is late* ty is trying to push her to be even more devious and kind of spooky mischievous? and i'm just like EATING IT UP
so being scared is good BD THERE IS NO ESCAPE
Ash is always gonna be grumpy, Mint is probably in the dictionary next to sassy, and Ren... oh ren. She's such a sadsack.

Ty: OH MY GOD THIS IS NOT OKAY. WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS FAR FROM BEING SOMETHING SMALL YOU DICKFACE WHATS WRONG WITH YOU OH MY FUCKING GOD
Bee: is it okay if i reply to my first comment quoting you being tsundere
Ty: Oh my fucking god no it's not okay.
Bee: I'll take that as a yes
*has died laughing* Your guy's responses to each other is at least half the experience of seeing something you two do pop into my inbox.
I love you guys omfg
*sits in second seat and waits*

Hub Bub Coffee Settling Down With a Fixed Location in Center City
The truck will continue running even as the permanent fixed location starts perking.
We're just a little more than a week away from the debut of Hub Bub Coffee Bar, a permanent, fixed location for Hub Bub Coffee Truck, which has been perking up groggy Penn students with freshly brewed, small batch coffees since it first rolled up on 38th and Spruce streets back in 2009. The new brick and mortar operation opens on Monday, January 17 at Three Logan Square (1717 Arch Street).
The coffee shop will feature a wrap-around coffee bar, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the obligatory salvaged wood, repurposed from old barns. Owner Drew Crockett will brew indie beans from producers like ReAnimator and Stumptown on Fetco coffeemakers and a La Marzocco GB5 commercial espresso machine, and source dairy and baked goods from local sources. Don't worry, the truck will continue serving the drowsy and under-motivated in University City after the bar opens.
Hub Bub Coffee Bar, 1717 Arch Street, (215) 665-1982

|Geographic rate numbers - used by public sector and not-for-profit bodies
|Geographic rate numbers - new allocations
|Geographic rate numbers - migrating numbers from matching 084 numbers
|Geographic rate numbers - migrating numbers from matching 087 numbers
|Corporate numbers
|Location independent electronic communications service (VoIP)
|Personal numbering service
|071 to 075
077 to 079
|Mobile services
|Radiopaging services
|Freephone numbers
(will become free calls from all mobile phones by 1 July 2015)
|Internet for schools
|Basic revenue share numbers
(Service Charge from 1p up to 7p/min or up to 7p/call)
|Higher rate revenue share numbers
(Service Charge from 1p up to 13p/min or up to 13p/call)
|090 and 091

(Service Charge from 7p up to £3.60/min or up to £6/call)
- Calls to 03 numbers are charged at the same rate as calling 01 and 02 numbers and count towards inclusive allowances on landlines and mobiles in the same way.
- The 0500 range is used for some freephone services which were originally provided by Mercury Communications Ltd (now Cable & Wireless). Ofcom propose moving all 0500 numbers to 0808 5 in a three year transition period beginning mid-2014.
- Calls to 070 Personal Numbers are not included in call plan allowances and cost substantially more than calling mobile numbers.
- Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 071 to 075, 07624 and 077 to 079 bands, but since the advent of mobile number portability, mobile prefixes can no longer be relied on to determine the current operator of a particular mobile number - only the original operator.
- Calls to 080 freephone numbers are free from landlines and will also be free from mobile phones by 1 July 2015.
- Many UK businesses employ numbers in the 03 and 08 range because of the benefits they can provide, such as fax to email and virtual office applications. Also they are portable and don't depend on the business location.
- Revenue share was removed from 0870 numbers in 2009. Under Ofcom's "unbundled tariff" plans, revenue share will be re-applied to 0870 from 1 July 2015.
- Numbers beginning 084, 087 (except 0870 from 1 August 2009 until 1 July 2015), 090, 091 and 098 impose a Service Charge on all callers, to the benefit of the called party and their non-geographic telecoms provider. The caller pays an Access Charge to their own telephone provider as well as the Service Charge.
- All users of 084, 087 and 09 numbers must declare the Service Charge wherever their number is advertised.
- All telephone providers must advertise a single Access Charge per tariff covering all 084, 087 and 09 numbers beginning 1 July 2015.
- Ofcom's new website detailing the unbundled tariff can be found at www.ukcalling.info. It will eventually show the various Service Charges for calling 084, 087, 090, 091, 098 and 118 numbers.
- Organisations that can no longer justify imposing a Service Charge on callers should move away from using 084, 087 and 09 numbers and replace them with 01, 02, 03 or 080 numbers.
- Organisations that are prevented from imposing a Service Charge on callers by the provisions of Regulation 41 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134) must change to an 01, 02, 03 or 080 number by 13 June 2014.
- The Cabinet Office issued guidance in December 2013 directing government departments and providers of public services to use 01, 02 and 03 numbers as their primary contact numbers, with 080 numbers considered for use only in particular circumstances where it is vital that the call is free for all callers.
- The Financial Conduct Authority will produce regulation for the financial sector mirroring that which is already in place for businesses. Customer helplines will be required to use 01, 02, 03 or 080 numbers.
- All numbers within the 034 and 037 ranges are already reserved for users to directly migrate from the matching 084 and 087 numbers.
- Where calls to 090, 091 and 098 numbers are subject to a per-minute rate Service Charge, there will be a cap of £25 per call.

Article: Preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid nanomaterials using aggregates of star block copolymer consisting of poly(stearyl methacrylate) and poly(3‐(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) as precursor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of star block copolymer consisting of poly(stearyl methacrylate) and poly(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization technique. The resultant polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and 1H NMR. The copolymer can self-assemble into the aggregates in selective solvents, the resulting aggregates can be used as precursor to prepare hybrid nanomaterials conveniently via the hydrolysis reaction of Si(OCH3)3 groups and the condensation reaction of Si(OH)3 groups. Moreover, the effect of the star copolymer-solvent interaction on the aggregation behavior was also discussed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Article: Synthesis of Low Isotactic Polypropylene Using MgCl2/AlCl3-supported Ziegler–Natta Catalysts Prepared Using the One-Pot Milling Method[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: MgCl2/AlCl3-supported Ziegler–Natta catalysts were prepared using the one-pot milling method and low isotactic polypropylene was synthesized using this catalyst. The results indicated that higher Ti content in catalyst and higher polymerization temperature lead to higher isotactic index of resultant polypropylene. It was found that when Ti content was 1.2 wt% and the ratio of AlCl3/MgCl2 (mol/mol) was 0.1 in MgCl2/AlCl3-supported Ziegler–Natta catalyst, the activity of catalyst was highest at 30°C.
Article: Synthesis and electrochemical properties of phloroglucin‐based ferrocenyl compounds and their application in anion recognition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Phloroglucin-based ferrocenyl compounds, including hyperbranched phloroglucin-based ferrocenyl polymer and phloroglucin-based ferrocenyl dendrimer (Generation0), were prepared by a convenient approach. Cyclic voltammograms were used to investigate their electrochemical properties, and we found that the scanning rate and solvent had remarkable effects on electrochemical behavior of the compounds. These compounds showed electrochemical responses to the anions, and a selective recognition for H2PO over other anions was observed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Article: Synthesis and self-assembly of comb-like amphiphilic copolymer poly(maleic anhydride-alt-stearyl methacrylate)-b-poly(stearyl methacrylate)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Comb-like amphiphilic block copolymers of maleic anhydride (MA) and stearyl methacrylate (SMA) were prepared through the reversible-addition-fragmentation-transfer polymerization. The resultant copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatograph and 1H NMR. The aggregation behaviors of P(MA-alt-SMA)-b-PSMA were investigated in tetrahydrofuran/water. It is of great interest that the aggregates with different morphologies and dimensions could be obtained by adjusting the polymer concentration, water content, and pH. The dimension and structure of these aggregates were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The effect of the copolymer–solvent interaction on these aggregations was discussed.
Article: Study on the microstructures of polypropylene synthesized by a novel MgCl2-supported and low Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalyst[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel MgCl2-supported and low Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta (Z–N) catalyst was prepared by one-pot ball milling. Polypropylenes (PPs) with special microstructures were synthesized by using this catalyst. Complex gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) data of the resultant PPs were analyzed by fitting the molecular weight distribution (MWD) curves with multiple Flory–Schulz functions. C-NMR spectra of the PPs were also analyzed. A multi-site active center model and the probable structures of the active centers were proposed. Simulation of the pentad intensities of the PPs showed that the modeling results could satisfactorily account for the experimental data, which indicated that the multi-site active center model was plausible and reasonable.

ABSTRACT: Poly(diglycidyl maleate-co-stearyl methacrylate) (P(DGMA-co-SMA)) with reactive epoxy groups was synthesized by reaction of poly(maleic anhydride-co-stearyl methacrylate) (P(MA-co-SMA)) and epichlorohydrin. The effect of precipitant on self-assembly behaviors of the resultant copolymer was investigated. It was found that vesicles and nanotubule liked aggregates can be obtained through self-assembly of P(DGMA-co-SMA) in THF solution using CH3CH2OH (EtOH) as precipitant while spheral aggregates can be obtained using H2O as precipitant. The mechanism of the self-assembly behavior was discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
Article: Recent research progress in influence of the ansa-zirconcene catalytic system on the polypropylene microstructure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, the recent development of ansa-zirconcene catalysts and their co-catalysts, the relationship between the structure of ansa-zirconcene catalytic system and the microstructure of the resultant polypropylene are reviewed. The forming mechanisms of resultant polypropylene microstructure are discussed in view of ansa-zirconcene catalyst structure and their co-catalyst structure.

ABSTRACT: Ethylene polymerization was carried out with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-supported Cp2ZrCl2 catalyst. Because of the catalyst pretreated on the surface of the MWNTs, the ethylene was expected to polymerize there. The influences of polymerization temperature and Al/Zr molar ratios on the morphologies of the resultant polyethylene were systematically investigated with SEM. The nano-polyethylene fibres were obtained owing to the fibres of original MWNTs were covered by polyethylene. The diameters of the nano-fibres were 80–130 nm. With the increase of reaction temperature, the "over load" of polyethylene on the surface of CNTs made the polyethylene fibres disappear.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and antibacterial properties of N-halamine copolymers are reported in this paper. 3-(4′-vinylbenzyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (VBDMH) monomer and its copolymers with n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) were prepared under mild conditions. The effects of monomer feeds on the composition of the final copolymers and reaction conversion were investigated. It was found that VBDMH had higher reactivities than BMA in the copolymerization reactions and the reactivity ratios of VBDMH and BMA were calculated to be 8.91 and 0.42, respectively, according to the Fineman–Ross equation in the preparation of PBMA-co-VBDMH. Two chlorination methods were applied and compared in the process of polymers chlorination. After chlorination by tert-butyl hypochlorite, the polymers provided powerful antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (E. coli). The surface morphologies of the chlorinated polymer films used in antibacterial assessment were observed by scanning electron microscope. The copolymers before and after chlorination were characterized with fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Their thermal properties were analyzed with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies.
Article: Preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid nanomaterials using aggregates of poly(stearyl methacrylate)-b-poly(3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) as precursor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel brush-type amphiphilic copolymer of PSMA-b-PTMSPMA was synthesized via ATRP technique. As-synthesized polymer was characterized by GPC and 1H NMR. It was of interest that the resultant polymer could self-assemble into micelles with different morphologies and sizes in selective solvents by adjusting the copolymer concentrations. These aggregates could be prepared into novel stable organic/inorganic hybrid nanomaterials by the gelation process. The size and structure of these aggregates and the corresponding hybrid nanomaterials were observed by TEM.
Article: Study on synthesis of two-armed polymers containing a crown ether core and their self-assembly behaviors in selective solvents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of well-defined two-armed polymers containing a crown ether core, poly(stearyl methacrylate)-crown ether-poly(stearyl methacrylate) (PSMA-crown-PSMA), with different molecular weight were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The resultant polymers were characterized by 1H NMR and GPC. The self-assembly behaviors of this kind of polymer in selective solvents were studied by TEM, and it was found that polymers with different molecular weight can directly self-assemble into hollow spheres, solid spheres and a monolayer film with regular pores by varying molecular weight and water content. The possible molecular packing motels for their self-assembly behaviors were proposed.
Article: Copolymerization of ethylene and 1-dodecene catalyzed by novel low-Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalysts and their microstructures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ethylene–1-dodecene copolymers were synthesized with novel low-Ti-loading (0.8 wt %) Ziegler–Natta catalysts prepared by a one-pot balling method. 13C-NMR was applied for the quantitative determination of the composites and microstructures of the resultant ethylene–1-dodecene copolymers. The results showed that (1) the ethylene–1-dodecene copolymers obtained from both the MgCl2-supported low-Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalyst and the MgCl2/SiO2-bisupported low-Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalyst at a 0.6M 1-dodecene concentration had high levels of 1-dodecene and (2) most of the 1-dodecene units were separated by ethylene units in the copolymer chains obtained from the MgCl2-supported low-Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalyst, whereas there were some continuous 1-dodecene repeat units in the copolymer chain obtained from the MgCl2/SiO2-bisupported low-Ti-loading Ziegler–Natta catalyst. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Recent progress in synthesis of ferrocenyl dendrimers and their application in anion recognition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anion recognition has attracted increasing attention due to the importance in biology and environment protection. Ferrocenyl dendrimers represent a type of novel competitive candidate for anion recognition owing to the combination of merits with ferrocene and dendrimer. This review focuses on recent progress in synthesis of ferrocenyl dendrimers and their application in anion recognition.
Article: Study on copolymerization of ethylene/1-hexene catalyzed by a novel polystyrene-supported metallocene catalyst[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization was carried out with polystyrene-supported metallocene catalyst. It was found that the kinetic of the copolymerization was strongly influenced by the steric hindrance of carrier. The influences of 1-hexene concentration in the feed on catalyst productivity and comonomer reactivity were investigated. The microstructure of resultant copolymer was analyzed by 13C NMR. It was found that the different carriers have slight effect on the composite of copolymer. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 1574–1577, 2006

ABSTRACT: Nanowires were prepared by ethylene polymerization in situ with carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-supported Cp2ZrCl2 catalyst. It was found that the metallocene catalyst was first adsorbed on the surface of the CNTs and then the polymerization of ethylene was initiated. The resulting PE could encapsulate on the surface of the CNTs to form nanowire. The diameter of nanowire could be controlled easily by the polymerization conditions. The possible mechanism of formation of nanopolyethylene wire is proposed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 1291–1294, 2006
Article: Preparation of Nanosheet Polyethylene with Heterogeneous Metallocene Catalyst and Formation Mechanism of Nanosheet Polyethylene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Silica with small and regular pore sizes was synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization and investigated with thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ethylene polymerization was carried out with the silica-supported metallocene catalyst, and the morphology of the resultant polyethylene was investigated with SEM. It was found that the silica could break up into sheet fragments instantaneously during polymerization and the polyethylene could replicate it to obtain nanosheet polyethylene. A possible formation mechanism of the nanosheet polyethylene is proposed.

ABSTRACT: Pristine CNTs and open-ended CNTs were used as supports for Cp2ZrCl2. The effects of the structure of the supports on the activity of the catalyst in ethylene polymerization and the resulting PE morphology were studied. It was found that the two supported catalysts had similar activity. The SEM studies proved that the resulting PE prepared with pristine CNT-supported catalyst exhibited fibrous morphology, while the other PE mainly exhibited fractional morphology. The possible formation mechanism of these two kinds of morphology was proposed.
Article: Evidence of Nanoconfinement Effects of MCM-41 on Propylene Polymerization Catalyzed by MCM-41 Supported Metallocene Catalyst in the Presence and Absence of β-Cyclodextrin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Propylene polymerization was carried out with MCM-41 supported rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 catalysts, in the presence and absence of beta-cyclodextrin. The resultant PP was studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Through comparison of the results, it was found that the channels of MCM-41 could act as a nanoreactor of propylene polymerization and the polypropylene (PP) contained in the channels had noncrystal structure. However, the PP could grow out of the channels and form some crystals after the active sites on the surface of MCM-41 were destroyed. This showed that the channels of MCM-41 had great confinement effects on propylene polymerization.
Article: Preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid nanoballs using aggregates of PTMSPMA-b-PSMA-Fc-PSMA-b-PTMSPMA block copolymers as precursors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Brush-type amphiphilic block copolymers of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) and stearyl methacrylate (SMA) were prepared through the initiation of chloroacetylferrocene using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in anisole solution. The resultant copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR and GPC. We investigated the morphologies and sizes of organic/inorganic hybrid nanoballs using aggregates of these multi-block copolymers as precursors after a sol–gel process. The effect of the copolymer–solvent interaction on these aggregations was discussed.
Article: An insight into the chain-propagation mechanism of propylene polymerization catalyzed by traditional Ti-based Ziegler–Natta catalysts in view of recently developed catalysts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The propagation mechanism of 1-alkenes, especially propylene, for newly developed catalysts such as metallocene catalysts and bis(phenoxy-amine)zirconium-based catalysts and traditional Ti-based Ziegler–Natta catalysts, and the relationship between the structure of the catalyst and the structure of polyolefins produced, was reviewed. We believe that the propagation mechanism of 1-alkenes, especially propylene, for traditional Ti-based heterogeneous catalysts and the relationship between the structure of the catalyst and the structure of polyolefins produced is elucidated more explicitly with metallocene catalysts and bis(phenoxy-amine)zirconium-based catalysts as reference.

Lebanon Presbyterian Church – Winnsboro, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Fairfield County Photos | Lebanon Presbyterian Church
Lebanon Presbyterian Church in Winnsboro was organized in 1774 under the name Jackson Creek Presbyterian. The church originally was located near its namesake creek. The first structure to house this congregation was made of hewn logs and built shortly after the church's founding. By 1780 a stone church had replaced it, giving the church the nickname of Stone Church. Remains from this building and the original churchyard can still be found on Old Airport Road.
Because of safety issues regarding the Stone Church, it was replaced in 1893 by a wood frame building constructed on the present site. Sadly, that church burned in 1910. Another wooden building was built the following year and used until 1933, when the current brick church was completed.
Lebanon Presbyterian Church was affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUSA) until 1973. On July 1st of that year, the church voted to change affiliations and joined the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The Lebanon Presbyterian Church grounds include Aiken Memorial Park, seen above.

And "north Indians" and "pseudo" Tamils like myself, how can you go wrong with a name spelt as "Alagiri"? I can imagine if you failed the banana (vaazhapazham) test, but Alagiri? Come on!
Switch a party, call a bypoll
Usually by-elections to the assembly are caused by the incumbent MLA's death. Three by-polls held earlier, but after May 2006 when the DMK came to power, were caused because the sitting MLAs died. Thanks to Azhagiri, the DMK won all.
But, of the five by-polls slated for August 18, only one by-election at Srivaikuntam is because its MLA (Congress' D Selvaraj) died. The rest have been caused because of defections by MLAs just before the Lok Sabha elections in May.
Illayankudi is going to the polls because its MLA S Raja Kannapan resigned from the DMK to join the AIADMK. Thondamathur and Cumbum have by-elections because their MLAs, M Kannapan and N Ramakrishnan respectively, of the MDMK ditched the party to join the DMK. Bargur has an election because its AIADMK MLA M Thambidurai resigned the seat after being elected to Parliament recently. And since Jayalalitha has decided to boycott the polls, the seat is up for grabs.
Next up for by-elections will be Tiruchendur with its MLA Anitha R Radhakrishnan all set to join the DMK. He's already getting the red carpet treatment in the DMK – he has met CM Karunanidhi, dy CM Stalin and shared a stage with union minister Azhagiri – after he was turfed out by AIADMK supremo Jayalalitha, There might also be a by-election from Mylapore whose MLA S Ve Shekhar, theatre personality, has been shown the door by amma after she found him hobnobbing with the DMK.
But unlike Radhakrishnan, no one in the DMK is breaking any doors down for Shekhar even if he has managed a meeting with Karunanidhi. Shekhar had these brave words after he was thrown out: "I am thankful to Madam Jayalalithaa and God for relieving me of the mental pain that I have been undergoing for the past two years… from the next session of the Assembly, I can function freely to serve the people of my constituency." No one is taking bets on him, the only other Brahmin leader apart from Jayalalitha herself, getting a ticket in 2011! So, it's premature optimism for a lightweight like him to think of a second term.
You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours
So what is the real reason Anitha Radhakrishnan switched parties? Because he can make the grafts case, filed by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC), go away? The probe on his allegedly possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income is complete. But he has not been charged yet.
But, a former colleague in the AIADMK O Paneerelvam (who was CM briefly) is in hot water already with the DVAC filing a 1,417-page charge sheet against him on corruption charges before the Chief Judicial Magistrate court at Periakulam last week. The charge sheet was also filed against six members of his family.
The police had searched the houses of Paneerselvam and his relatives in 2006 after filing a case against them.
The DVAC was all set to seek the sanction of the assembly speaker to prosecute Radhakrishnan under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Radhakrishnan may have pre-empted that by taking the road well travelled. Sample this: Jennifer Chandran, a former fisheries minister in the AIADMK regime, was charged with corruption, but once she shifted loyalties, the cases were put on ice. Similar was the case of Indira Kumari, also a minister in Jayalalithaa's regime (1991-1996). She joined the DMK and cases against her slowed down.
Aladi Aruna was in DMK when the AIADMK went after him. But he joined the BJP and the cases retreated because the "party with a difference" and Amma were on the same side. In fact, none of the corruption cases filed against DMK ministers by the then AIADMK government have reached the courts. So do you still think that cops are not weapons in the hands of our politicians? Think again!
Azhagiri quote: Anitha Radhakrishnan was happy when he entered Gopalapuram (residence of CM Karunanidhi) easily whereas he was afraid of going into Poes Garden (residence of Jayalalitha).
Hoist with her own petard
It may not be fair or even politically correct but I am amused when cops get caught with their pants down, speaking metaphorically of course. For years, the aam aadmi has been a victim of the biscuit bandit – so called because the culprit gives a spiked biscuit making the victim unconscious and then hightails it with gold/ money – and the cops have not done anything.
Now, hopefully they will after a CBI inspector Premalatha, travelling from Mumbai to Chennai, was relieved of her gold earrings and chain (12 sovereigns) and Rs 10,000 after a well dressed stranger got in at Cuddapah into her First AC compartment, chatted her up, offered her a cold drink and the next thing she knew was when sweepers found her unconscious.
By the way, the railway has been running a campaign about the biscuit bandit gang from Cuddapah. My question is: After all her training at the CBI, how gullible was she that she fell for a conman no matter how well-dressed he was? A minor question: how did an inspector get entitled to travel by I AC?
In another case, five cops including a deputy superintendent of police who came in mufti were thrashed and locked up by villagers of Melveeranam, near Vellore, because they mistook them for goondas! An honest mistake, I believe, because the cops came with a person who obviously was trying to con a local in a land case. After being incarcerated for three hours, the cops were rescued by their colleagues.
Last heard, the cops had sworn always to wear a uniform while on duty...
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.

A circle is a two dimensional figure. In this figure all points are on the same distance from centre. The distance from centre to edge is called the radius of the circle. Diameter is the distance between two sides of the circle that goes through the centre. Circle is one of the important figure of geometry. Circle has many simple properties which help us in many manner. Many geometry helper starts with circle, according to these mathematician circle is a very easy topic which can be understand in quick steps. Some quick steps are given below, which helps you to understand the circle.
Centre of the circle is the point inside the circle, all other points of the circle are on same distance from the centre.
The distance from centre to any point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. It is half of the diameter.
Diameter is the distance between two sides of the circle that goes through the centre. It is double of the radius.
All round distance of the circle is called circumference.
It is the region which is enclosed by the circle. Area of the circle is also called surface area of the circle.
Chord is a line which link any two pints on circle.
Tangent of a circle is a line that touches the circle exactly at one point.
Secant of a circle is a line that intersect the circle at two points.
These are the basic properties of the circle. To learn more about circle click here

While miniscule coverage could be explained away by the fact that only Hayat is standing trial for attending terrorism training camps (his father's trial on lying about his son's travels starts this week), the Sacramento Bee last summer reported that authorities now believe that seven men from the Lodi mosque also traveled to Pakistan for training.
Such a scenario would not be shocking given what is known about the two now-deported imams, Mohammad Adil Khan and Shabbir Ahmed, both of whom were imported from Pakistan. Evidence presented at Ahmed's deportation hearings (Adil Khan did not challenge his deportation) indicated that several high-ranking Taliban members were students and later teachers at the Karachi-based Jamia Farooqia.
The madrassa also apparently also had a fan in bin Laden himself. Citing classified documents, the Sacramento Bee reported, "Bin Laden, in a 1998 news conference, counted the scholars of the Farooqia school among his supporters."
Ahmed, for his part, admitted to delivering fiery anti-American sermons in Pakistan in the wake of 9/11, in which he encouraged his followers to take up arms against the United States. That November, the Boston Globe quoted Ahmed calling for armed revolution against Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf: "Whoever is against Islam, we will destroy him. If this is rebellion, we are not afraid of rebellion. Blood is going to be spilled in Pakistan."
Just months later, Shabbir Ahmed was granted a visa to come the United States.
Ahmed was recruited to Lodi by his mentor, Adil Khan, because the latter wanted to be replaced as imam in order to focus his energies on building an Islamic school modeled after Jamia Farooqia. He came disturbingly close to realizing his goal. Before the small town of 60,000 was rocked by the arrests of the imams and three others last June, Lodi officials had approved development of the new school. (The approval has since been rescinded, though technically only because of zoning concerns.)
At least local media outlets in Northern California are covering the Hayat trial. Imam Ali al-Timimi was convicted last year of instructing his followers to wage jihad against the United States. Nine of his followers have been convicted. All this happened in Northern Virginia, yet the Washington Post ran just a handful of stories before al-Timimi's conviction.
Once the guilty verdict was handed down, though, the Post made it a prominent story—by editorializing on his behalf, arguing that the life sentence was "too harsh." The paper's reasoning? His followers didn't wage successful jihad, thus it wasn't as serious.
Is this the new media barometer, that terrorism is only worth reporting if it's successful?

link is dead
I see that I am not the only one who is cursing this OS Hybrid for being So close and yet So far. I too have tried several ways to get BBM working on 5.0 Hybrid with no success. I have reloaded my phone 7 times on just this one Hybrid alone. I love the scrolling and the SMS layout but it is just not worth the frustration. Its one thing to keep making changes when we are moving forward but it is NO fun to run around in circles. Time to stick to what Works until the next KNOWN good release comes out.
I wish I could hang but I still have a job to do. Much love to the BBOS Family. :cool2:
Suppose the Shrinking, might work on a Tour? I am having the same exact issue here.
I don't believe that shrinking will help the BBM work on your phone. Sounds like a Hybrid issues if you read the post above.
i did the OTA link, but when the download completes it tells me that the "COD is invalid" and then the download fails.
any ideas?
btw im runnin 126.96.36.199
if this bbm dusnt work, wat version does work with my OS
thnx in advance
Wirelessly posted
Try BBSak. That's what I had to use to get the 500230 OS on my phoneQuote:

Because of the quarterback uncertainty in Cleveland, Browns-Patriots was off the board for much of this week.
With Jason Campbell announced as the starter on Friday, the line was established around 10.5 by BOVADA. The total is 48.
The Patriots have covered 6 of the 12 spreads this season and been split evenly in going over and under the total. The Patriots have gone over in three of the last four games.
The Browns are 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games and 2-5 on the road against the spread in their last seven.
This is the first time Cleveland's been a double-digit underdog and the first time they've had a total over 45.
Prediction: Patriots 31, Browns 23.

Bears reboot: Bears need 'next steps' by emerging DE group
The Recap:
The defense received a third straight Pro Bowl season from Julius Peppers, only the second Bears defensive lineman (Tommie Harris 2005-07) to earn that all-star honor in three consecutive seasons since Doug Atkins finished a run of seven straight a half-century ago (1963). Peppers at age 33 finished with 11.5 sacks and started all 16 games for the third straight year and showed exactly zero signs of acting his NFL age.
Peppers' work was part of a year in which the defensive ends accounted for 28.5 sacks – nearly matching the DEs' total when the Bears set the NFL single-season sack record (72) in 1984 behind Richard Dent (17.5), Mike Hartenstine (seven), Tyrone Keys (2.5) and Henry Waechter (two).

The 2012 results came with significant upsides. Although Israel Idonije (7.5) was not re-signed and is now a Detroit Lion, Corey Wootton played his way into Idonije's starting job at midseason.
In 582 snaps played, Wootton produced seven sacks, two forced fumbles, 12 quarterback pressures and 18 tackles in what amounted to a breakout for the 2010 fourth-round draft choice. Wootton turned 26 in June and is relatively low-mileage after playing just 13 games over his first two seasons.
[RELATED: Bears have already made a decision on Cutler]
The organization made upgrading the pass rush a priority in last year's draft, selecting Shea McClellin with the 19th overall pick. Coaches immediately put his hand on the ground and had him come off the edge, and he admittedly struggled. McClellin finished with 2.5 sacks and missed one game with a concussion and another with a knee issue.
The Bears continued looking for help on the edges this offseason. The pipeline between New Orleans and Chicago that brought Saints tackle Jermon Bushrod and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis also had room for defensive end Turk McBride.

And when Georgia defensive end Cornelius Washington was still on the board when the Bears' turn came in the sixth round of this year's draft, the Bears took a flyer on an exceptional athlete who had limited production but, like McClellin, has worked at both linebacker and defensive end.
Issue No. 1 Shea McClellin
McClellin was the first first-round draft choice of GM Phil Emery and the single biggest reason why Emery is in his job is failed No. 1 draft choices by his predecessor. McClellin showed flashes his rookie season but did not establish himself as a situational pass rusher in the mold of Bruce Irvin for Seattle or as an every down edge player a'la Chandler Jones in New England.
[ALSO: Bears reboot: Offensive line]
The overall point isn't whether Emery was right or not; the specific reason for drafting McClellin was to ratchet up the pass rush, and without that, the Bears will be challenged in every area of the defense.
What McClellin did do, however, was establish that he can move seamlessly into a variety of roles. Indeed, he was arguably more effective in a two-point stance than with his hand on the ground matching up with a right tackle. McClellin told CSNChicago.com during training camp that he was being engulfed too often, learning to play out of the stance and operating at a significant size disadvantage against Gabe Carimi and J'Marcus Webb. And the competition only got better from there.

McClellin was noticeably fitter during the offseason program and said he has added 6-8 pounds of muscle. But he has not mastered or developed NFL-grade counter moves, the second moves that allow setting up a blocker with one move and beating him with a second, and form a quiver of moves capable of providing answers to the sets and schemes as they unfold in front of McClellin.

MCLEAN, Va. – It was a downright cold for a motorcycle ride and a long ride at that on Saturday. But that didn't stop friends and colleagues of a U.S. Park Police officer, who suffered a life changing injury while on duty nearly two years ago.
Early Saturday morning, a crowd of other U.S. Park Police officers and supporters gathered for the 120-mile Polar Bear Poker Run. The motorcycle ride benefited Officer Billy Brancato, who was kicked in the stomach while trying to arrest a suspect, severely damaging his pancreas, in January 2012.
"He's impacted for the rest of his life. Quite possibly it's a near fatal condition," U.S. Park Police Officer Tim Hodge says. "We're looking to raise some money and basically do the right thing. It's just the kind of person I am and that's the kind of person Billy Brancato is."
The starting point for the fundraiser was at the U.S. Park Police District Two headquarters along the George Washington Parkway in McLean.
U.S. Park Police Captain Michael Libby said with a heavy heart, "He's hurting, his family's hurting. Only so much you can do and you do everything you can."
Officer Hodge provided an autographed Redskins Pierre Garcon jersey to be auctioned off after the ride.
"We just pray, hope and give the best to his family and hope he pulls through," he says.
Fellow officer Tom Twiname says, "He's not out of the woods health wise, but we just got to let him know he's not forgotten."
A website has been set up to make donations to Officer Brancato and his family. Half of all donations will be given to Concerns of Police Survivors: COPS, a group that helps families of fallen police officers.
