Good luck has evaded Michael Philipp recently.
If he can capture some good fortune and stay healthy for a full season, the Oregon State football team should benefit.
OSU's junior offensive tackle returned for spring practice last week after redshirting last year when he had minor knee surgery. He used that time to rehab and to help become a stronger, better player.
Coach Mike Riley hopes Philipp can make the same kind of impact he did as a true freshman in 2009, when he was a starter and freshman all-American.
"The expectations are really high for him," Riley said. "We need him to be great. I'm glad he's back and healthy and participating. With his return and the recruits coming in, hopefully we'll be a lot better on the line."
At 6-foot-2, 324 pounds, Philipp can be the piece of the puzzle that has been missing for the Beavers the last two years.
He has the size and agility to block Pacific-12 Conference players, and also possesses experience with 22 starts.
"It feels good and I'm excited to be back," Philipp said. "It's not fun when you are injured. Now I can just play and enjoy myself."
After a strong start to his career, things haven't gone well.
Philipp initially injured his knee the first week of spring practice in 2010 when, despite limited pressure, it locked up on him during a drill.
He missed the last four weeks of the spring after having a scope done to clean out loose cartilage.
He was ready for a strong sophomore campaign but a broken nose and ankle injury in training camp slowed his progress.
Philipp missed some early games, but came back from those injures. A second ankle injury forced him out the last three games of what turned out to be a miserable season.
His starting job was in jeopardy last season as Colin Kelly made a push for playing time. Unable to compete the way he wanted in the spring and fall, Philipp lost the battle.
Philipp felt the problem was the old knee injury, so he had it examined again.
"My knee wasn't feeling right," Philipp said. "Certain areas were hurting. It wasn't correlating with the surgery. We didn't know what to do. I figured I needed to take a look at it. It ended up I needed to clean something up. It was a good decision."
Philipp's surgery left the offensive line's depth thin. When Kelly hurt his ankle he had to play through the pain because there was no one else to turn to.
Kelly, who had surgery this offseason, is out for the spring but is expected back this fall.
Philipp was able to practice the last few weeks last season, but only in a limited capacity with the scout team.
"He needed that redshirt year," offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh said. "One, he needed to rehab, but two, he got thrown into the fire as a freshman. He never had that strength (built up) he needed. Hopefully that extra year helped him mature and get stronger."
OSU hopes to have Philipp and Kelly ready when games start. At this point, Kelly is the projected left tackle with Philipp at right tackle.
Philipp likes the left side better, so he's out to prove this spring that he's the best at protecting the quarterback's blind side on pass plays.
"The year off was helpful," Philipp said. "There are pros and cons to everything. It's bad you can't play but you have to take advantage of the time you can't play. I got physically stronger. My upper body got stronger when I couldn't work out my lower body."
After three of the 15 spring practices, Philipp is still going strong.
Good luck is with him so far.
"I try to worry about the things I can do something about, not what I can't," Philipp said. "It's just unwanted stress. I can't control getting my knee hurt but I can control rehab and working out. I just want to be the best I can be, and the whole line to be the best they can be."

Estate Grown on the Mornington Peninsula.
A 5 star winery as rated by James Halliday
Situated on lush gentle slopes in sight of Western Port Bay, Merricks Estate was one of the first commercial vineyards, planted in 1978 by the Kefford family as a trial to explore the possibilities of wine making in an area that was then known only for its farming and horticulture and tourism.
Today, the Mornington Peninsula in Southern Victoria, produces some of Australia's most distinctive wines because of its cool climate and long ripening season. Merricks Estate produces fine wines, while striving to create a sustainable environment for flora and fauna.
Since 1982 we have produced high quality wines including Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our 55 acre property (10 acres under vine) is a beautiful and relaxing place to visit. Merricks Estate, at the end of Thompson's Lane remains the unchanged landscape of the unique Peninsula hinterland.
"Follow the scenic winding drive
Passed the poplars and old vines
Arrive at our rustic cellar door
So tranquil and sublime
Stroll the woodland, wetlands track
Enjoy nature's precious time
Ours is a hidden Peninsula oasis
Crafting unpretentious and impressive wines"
94 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
Tasting Notes
The 2013 Merricks Estate Chardonnay boasts perfect ripening conditions. A cool spring followed by a long, dry summer ensured a great depth of flavour from the fruit. Robust for a cool climate style, our chardonnay possesses flavours of melon and fig with cleansing mineral toned. Oak is integrated perfectly with acidity creating a pleasing texture and rich, nutty finish.
"Light straw-green; restrained and elegant citrus/mineral first up, then on the back-palate and finish with stone fruit and subtle oak; good length" James Halliday
The 2010 vintage displays aromas of sweet cherry and plum entwined with earthy notes, rich clove and cinnamon spices. Fine tannins and fresh acidity balance and linger, with a hint of white pepper on the finish.
94 points. James Halliday's Wine Companion
Tasting Notes
Merricks Estate 2009 has intense aromas and flavours of black fruits, liquorice and spice including intense black pepper and cedar characters. This wine is supported by good acid and fine grained tannins which give it balance, length and structure.
"Excellent retention of deep purple hue; surely a recent release, simply because it is so attractive; black cherry, spice and pepper come first up, before plum and licorice join the flavour roster on the long, medium-bodied palate". James Halliday
Tasting Notes
Our distinctive Cabernet sauvignon shows cassis, blackcurrant fruit and chocolate characters. A deep purple red, it's emboldened with fine savoury tannins and spices that you'll only find on a perfectly aged wine. a hint of earthiness leads into just the right amount of toasty cedar to finish.
Tasting Notes
The palate blooms with watermelon, floral notes and a hint of glace cherry. There's a lip-smacking finish, lovely and dry, that leaves taste buds begging for another sip.
"Bright, light pink; estate-grown; this is a rose with real attitude, its mouthfeel with slippery acidity, momentarily catching on the tongue as it moves along the totally delicious small red berry fruit. Will melt the heart of the most committed red wine consumer (or, for that matter, white)." James Halliday
Tasting notes
This wine displays a rich nose with typical cool climate characters of black cherries and plums. This is complemented with licorice and earthy aromas with a touch of pepper to finish.
"Lifted red fruits, roasted hazelnuts and a strong presence of mint are all evident on the bouquet; the medium-bodied palate has fresh acidity and chewy tannins offsetting the crunchy red fruit on offer." Ben Edwards
Tasting Notes
This deep crimson cabernet has vibrant aromas of cassis, blueberry, spice and mushroom. The palate reveals spice, cassis and a hint of earthiness which leads to a firm tannic finish.
"The strong presence of mint is offset by fragrant red fruit aromasand spicy oak; the palate reveals high levels of acidity, tightly wound red fruits and succulent fine-grained tannins that finish dry and assertively." James Halliday

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
Fair enough regarding the heading; but their approach seems to be to announce they are interested in partnering, wait 2 months and announce others are interested as well and at the end of the day they have said nothing specific-except that they want to move quickly; which is laughable.
And for the record-I'm not short Vertex; just another incredibly frustrated long.
Glad to know you are not short. I do understand your frustration though. I guess we just have to be patient. Good luck to all longs.

As other reviewers have said, these smell awful! That said, they do seem to give me a good energy boost (enough that if I forget to take them in the morning, I have to skip them so that I can sleep) and I will continue taking them until I find something that I prefer more. Update: Tried a different multi vitamin and I prefer these. Not only did they give me a good energy boost, but the made my skin very soft and almost shimmery. I will be returning to these as soon as i-herb has them back in stock.
Very good

I love these vitamins as they are so comprehensive! I love that they use methylcobalamin instead of the cyanocobalamin which your body has to convert twice in order for your body to use. Wish they used metafolin instead of folic acid.

Great link. Pallas' cats are hard to get good pics of, and I know so little about them.
what an amazing animal and interesting story
love it.
I am a serious cat person, and I have never heard of this cat. When comparing this hunk with my plain old brown tabby, she looks a litle frail.
what a unique animal!
How beautiful and fascinating. I sure hope it can outlast humans!
lool funny looking cat
OMG what an awesome creature! Love the little monkey-like face.........just amazing! I have never heard of them. Great article.
he looks like a monkey... weird..
Look, it's the ugly Rabbit-Cat-Monkey, whose appearance makes it appear somewhat larger and gives it the unintentional (! I asked!) appearance of feline rotundity! (SCNR)

i have a DLL which defines many methods which all returns
double and I don't want to change anything in it. The problem is when I pass small numbers to these methods, the return values come with too many trailing zeros as the return value is
double, for example
9*9=810000000000(it's not a decimal point,it's the actual capacity of a Double variable). i want the normal behavior which is 9*9=81
How can I get rid of those trailing zeros without changing the DLL?

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 150,753, filed Feb. 1, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,871,863.
This invention relates to improved halogenated bis-imide flame retardants, to their manufacture and to compositions containing a flammable material and such halogenated bis-imides.
As is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,374,220, there are a multitude of halogenated bis-imides which are effective as flame retardants in composition with macromolecular flammable materials, e.g. polymers. These compositions are useful in making articles such as wire insulation coverings and electronic housings. Of these halogenated bis-imides, the alkylene(C1 -C6 6)-(tetrabromophthalimide)s are especially commercially significant.
A presently used commercial route for producing alkylene (C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide)s comprises reacting tetrabromophthalic anhydride with a diaminoalkane in the presence of water and an alkanoic acid to yield an alkylene-diammonium-bis-tetrabromophthalate). The reaction mass is then heated to about 210° C. for a period of about 8 hours and the resultant desired alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) product is recovered therefrom. This product is particularly useful as it has good thermal stability and resistance to UV degradation. However, the product has a yellow color which argues against its presence in compositions used for forming white articles. Also, the intensity of the yellow color can vary between product batches, which color variance makes it difficult for the article manufacturer to maintain consistency in the color of the articles produced. To overcome the yellow color problem, the art has provided processes which produce a white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide).
U.S. Pat. No. 4,125,535 discloses a process for producing white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) by reacting tetrabromophthalic anhydride with diaminoalkane in a solvent system comprised of a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon and an alkanoic or aralkanoic acid.
Another process for producing this white bis-imide is disclosed in European Patent No. 0 023 420. This process comprises the bromination of alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) with a brominating agent, e.g. bromine, in 40-80% oleum. The product is white, however, it is not as thermally stable or as resistent to UV degradation as is the case for the before-described yellow alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide). Also it has now been demonstrated, that when compositions containing this white bis-imide are compression molded to form articles, the resultant article can be discolored by a yellow color or tint. This discoloration is believed to be due to a yellowing of this bis-imide as a result of its being exposed to the compression molding process conditions. Since injection molding processes are usually run under process conditions which are more harsh than those used in compression molding, it is expected, for this bis-imide, that the yellowing problem which would be encountered in injection molding would be at least as severe as that encountered in compression molding.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a white bis-imide, i.e. alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) or bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), which has high thermal stability, resistance to UV degradation and which does not significantly contribute a yellow color to an article made from a composition containing such bis-imide.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a process for producing such a white bis-imide.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a composition which contains a macromolecular flammable constituent and a white bis-imide of the invention wherein the color of the composition is not significantly affected by a yellow color contribution from the bis-imide during the processing of the composition to form an article.
These and other objects are attained by oven curing alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) or bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) which have been produced, respectively, by the bromination of alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) or bis-(phthalimide) with a brominating agent in the presence of oleum.
For the purposes of this disclosure, the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide)s and the bis-(phthalimide) referred to herein are represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein R is a divalent alkylene radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and a is 1 or 0. R can be a branched or be a straight chain radical. R is preferably methylene(--CH2 --) or ethylene(--CH2 CH2 --). When a is 0, the bonding between the two phthalimide groups is by way of a N--N bond.
The alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide)s and the bis-(tetrabromophthalimide)s referred to herein are represented by the formula, ##STR2## wherein R and a are as recited above.
The oleum route, as before noted, to a white alkylene-(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) comprises the bromination of alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) with a brominating agent in the presence of oleum.
The brominating agent used is usually bromine, although other brominating agents, such as bromine chloride, can be employed if desired. The amount of bromine used should be at least the amount theoretically required to achieve complete bromination of the aromatic rings of the starting material, i.e., an amount that provides one bromine atom for each available aromatic carbon atom. There is no maximum to the amount of bromine that can be used, but there is no advantage in using unnecessarily large amounts of bromine. Therefore, it is preferable to employ amounts of bromine that provide from about 1 to about 1.5, most preferably from about 1.05 to about 1.15, atoms of bromine per available aromatic carbon atom. Excellent results are obtained by using bromine in an amount that is about 12-14% more than the amount theoretically required for complete bromination.
The oleum used is a solution of 40-80% by weight of sulfur trioxide in concentrated sulfuric acid. Because of its ready availability and its effectiveness, a 60-70% oleum is preferred. The oleum is employed in an amount which provides at least one molecule of sulfur trioxide per available aromatic carbon atom and is preferably used in larger amounts since the reaction rate increases with an increased concentration of sulfur trioxide in the reaction mixture. Ordinarily the oleum is utilized in an amount which provides from about 1 to about 1.9, preferably from about 1.25 to about 1.75, molecules of sulfur trioxide per available aromatic carbon atom. Thus, it is preferable to use from about 8 to about 15 mols, most preferably from about 10 to about 14 mols, of sulfur trioxide per mol of alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis(phthalimide). Excellent results are obtained by using about 50% more sulfur trioxide than is theoretically required for complete sulfonation of the aromatic rings of the bis-imide reactant. When an oleum containing the desired amount of sulfur trioxide is not readily available, the desired concentration of sulfur trioxide can be attained by introducing sulfur trioxide to a sulfur trioxide deficient system.
In the reaction, relatively mild conditions are suitable. It is not necessary to use high temperatures or pressures. Ordinarily the desired bromnation can be achieved by heating the reactants to a temperature of from about 35 to about 60° C., preferably about 55° C., for at least about 3 hours, although it is sometimes desirable to use higher temperatures, e.g. about 70-90° C., to complete the bromination when the concentration of sulfur trioxide in the reaction mixture is relatively low during the initial stage of the reaction. Such relatively low concentrations in the reaction mixture may occur, for example, if a whole charge of alkylene(C1 C6)-bis-(phthalimide) is initially present, as distinguished from being added gradually to the oleum.
The reaction may be conducted under atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure, with or without a catalyst. When pressure is employed, it is ordinarily only the slight pressure created by a back pressure device, although higher pressures may be used if desired. When a catalyst is employed, it may be any suitable bromination catalyst, e.g., sodium nitrate, nitrogen dioxide, aluminum, iron, an iron-iodine mixture, a silver catalyst, etc. Catalyst, when employed, are normally used in concentrations of about 0.1-2%, based on the weight of the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide). Particularly good results are obtained when the catalyst is a 50:50 mixture of iron and iodine, and even better results are obtained when the catalyst is a silver catalyst, e.g., silver or any inorganic or organometallic silver compound capable of catalyzing the bromination of aromatic carbons. Because of availability as well as effectiveness, the preferred silver catalysts are silver, silver nitrate, silver sulfate, silver carbonate, silver acetate, silver chloride, silver bromide, and mixtures thereof. Silver nitrate is particularly preferred.
The manner of admixing the reactants is not critical, although the reaction is much more efficient when the reactants are admixed in such a manner to maximize the concentration of sulfur trioxide at all times. One suitable method of conducting the reaction is to dissolve the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) and optional catalyst in the oleum, to heat the solution to about 35-60° C., to add the brominating agent thereto over a period of about 3-10 hours, to maintain the reaction mixture at about 35-60° C. for an additional 0-5 hours, to raise the reaction temperature to about 70-90° C., and to maintain the reaction mixture at about 70-90° C. for about 1-3 hours.
A preferred method of conducting the reaction is to charge optional catalyst and about 45-75% of the oleum to a reaction vessel, to heat the oleum and optional catalyst to about 35-60° C., and to simultaneously add the bromine and a solution of the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) in the remainder of the oleum over a period of about 3-5 hours.
When the bromination has been completed, the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) product is recovered by conventional techniques. Conveniently the product is isolated by raising the temperature of the reaction mass to about 100-140° C. to distill off the excess bromine and sulfur trioxide. The reaction mass is then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The recovered precipitate, i.e. alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), is washed with water until it is free of acid and then dried. The drying is generally accomplished by heating the washed precipitate to about 125° C. for several hours.
The production of white bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) is effected in a manner similar to that recited above for alkylene (C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) except that bis-(phthalimide) intermediate is used in place of the alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(phthalimide) intermediate.
The so formed and recovered white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) product has, as before stated, a thermal stability and resistance to UV degradation which is inferior to that of the yellow alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) product produced by the reaction of tetrabromophthalic anhydride and diaminoalkane. To enhance the white products of this invention so that they are substantially equivalent to the yellow product, in regards to thermal stability and resistance to UV degradiation, it has now been found that a further process step is useful. In accordance with this invention, this enhancement is accomplished by curing the white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) or bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) product at a temperature above about 150° C. and below the melting point of the tetrabromophthalimide, i.e. the alkylene (C1 -C6)-bis-tetrabromophthalimide or the bis-tetrabromophthalimide being cured, for a period within the range of from about 36 hours to about 5 hours. Generally, the white bis-imides of this invention can be cured at a temperature of from about 150° C. to 300° C. without melting. The longer curing periods are associated with the lower curing temperatures and the shorter curing periods are associated with the higher curing temperatures. Preferably, the curing temperature is within the range of from about 180° C. to about 250° C. with a correspondent curing period within the range of from about 10 hours to about 6 hours. A most highly preferred curing temperature will be within the range of from about 220° C. to about 250° C. in association with a curing period within the range of from about 8 to about 6 hours. The curing period can be longer than those specified above for a certain temperature, and such periods have been used. However, no particular benefit is gained in using excessively long curing periods. The curing can be effected with any conventional technique and apparatus, provided that, the technique and apparatus chosen assured uniform curing and does not deleteriously degrade or contaminate the product being cured. The curing can occur at subatmospheric, atmospheric or at superatmospheric pressures dependent upon the technique and apparatus used. An especially useful technique is oven curing in which a hot forced air oven is used. The product is best cured by being placed in the oven in thin layers, e.g. 0.25 in. to 4 in., to insure uniform curing. The specification of layer thickness is not critical so long as uniform curing is obtained.
The cured white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) or bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) (hereinafter referred to as cured white bis-imide) not only has good thermal stability and resistance to UV degradation but also has a lower acid number, less than about 2, and a higher bromine content, within the range of from about 63% to about 69%, than is the case for the precursor uncured white alkylene(C1 -C6)-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide and bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) (hereinafter referred to as uncured white bis-imide). Indeed, for cured ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) an acid number within the range of from about 0.15 to about 1.0 and a bromine content within the range of from about 65% to about 67% are obtainable. A preferred acid number range for this cured white bis-imide is from about 0.15 to about 0.9.
The cured white bis-imides of this invention function as flame retardants when compounded with macromolecular flammable materials. The compositions so formed can additionally contain other conventional additives such as stabilizers, processing aids and the like.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that for all cases no single precise value for the proportion of the cured white bis-imide in the composition can be given, since this proportion will vary with the particular flammable material, the presence of other additives, the particular cured white bis-imide used, and the degree of flame retarding sought in any given application. Further, the proportion necessary to achieve a given extent of flame retardance in a particular composition will depend upon the shape of the article into which the composition is to be made, for example, electrical insulation, tubing and film will each behave differently. In general, however, the composition may contain from about 5% to about 40%, preferably 10% to 30%, of the cured white bis-imide when the cured white bis-imide is the only flame retardant compound in the composition.
It will be appreciated that one or more bis-imides, be they the cured white bis-imides of this invention or be they a mix of cured and uncured white bis-imides, may be incorporated in the same composition and that other flame retardant materials may be used in conjunction with the bis-imides. (Note, however, that the use of uncured white bis-imides may create color and degradiation problems if present in substantial amounts.) It is especially advantageous to use the cured white bis-imide and an inorganic compound, especially the oxide, of a Group V element, for example, bismuth, arsenic, phosphorus and especially antimony, in a composition. Of these compounds, antimony oxide is especially preferred. If such a compound is present in a composition, the quantity of total bis-imide, be it all cured or a mix of cured and uncured, needed to achieve a given flame-retardance is accordingly reduced.
The compositions containing the total bis-imide/inorganic compound flame retardant system may contain up to about 40% by weight of the system, preferably between 20% and 30% by weight. It is believed that the inorganic compound and the total bis-imide will react under the conditions of combustion of a flammable material to form inorganic bromine compounds, e.g., bromine and oxybromides, which assist in retarding combustion. The bromine-bearing bis-imide also acts as a flame retardant independently and the proportions in a flame retardant system are a matter of choice, depending, inter alia, on the material in which the system is to be incorporated and commercial considerations. Generally, the total bis-imide and the inorganic compound are in a weight ratio of from about 1:1 to about 7:1, and preferably of from about 2:1 to about 4:1.
The cured white bis-imides and flame retardant systems containing cured white bis-imides may be used in combination with virtually any flammable material. The material may be macromolecular, for example, a cellulosic material or a polymer. Illustrative polymers are: olefin polymers, cross-linked and otherwise, for example, homopolymers of ethylene, propylene, and butylene; copolymers of two or more of such alkylene monomers and copolymers of one or more of such alkylene monomers and any other copolymerizable monomers, for example, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers and ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers; polymers of olefinically unsaturated monomers, for example, polystyrene, e.g. high impact polystyrene, and styrene copolymers; polyurethanes; polyamides; polyimides; polycarbonates; polyethers; acrylic resins; polyesters, especially poly(methyleneterephthalate), poly(ethyleneterephthalate) and poly(butyleneterephthalate); epoxy resins; alkyds; phenolics; elastomers, for example, butadiene/styrene copolymers and butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers; terpolymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene; natural rubber; butyl rubber; and polysiloxanes. The polymer may also be a blend of various polymers. The composition may contain any of the additives usually present and where appropriate to the particular polymers, may be crosslinked by chemical means or by irradiation.
It is a feature of the cured white bis-imides of this invention that their presence in a composition will not substantially contribute a yellow color or tint to an article formed from the composition by conventional molding techniques. For example, compositions containing white high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and from about 9 wt. % to about 15 wt. % cured white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), the latter having a Yellowness Index of about 10, can be used to produce molded articles having a Yellowness Index within the range of from about 16 to about 23. Also, in compositions containing from about 8 wt. % to about 14 wt. % of the same ethylene-bis-imide and white poly(butyleneterephthalate), a Yellowness Index within the range of from about 8 to about 13 is attainable.
The inventions disclosed herein are illustrated in the following Example.
The ethylene-bis-(phthalimide) reactant used in the Example was prepared in accordance with the following procedure.
A 5 liter resin kettle equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, condenser, Barret trap and heating mantle was charged with 1378 g of xylene and 590.5 g of acetic acid. The mixture was heated to 60° C. and stirred. Ethylene diamine (202.8 g) was dissolved in 200 g (234 cc) of xylene and kept separate. When the reaction temperature reached 60° C., phthalic anhydride was added to the kettle in ten increments of 100 g each, at ten minute intervals. The ethylene diamine/xylene solution was simultaneously added in ten increments of 42.55 cc each, at ten minute intervals. When the additions were complete, the reaction temperature was brought to 105° C. and then maintained within the range of 105° C. to 125° C. for a period of three hours. The reaction mass was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filter cake was washed twice with xylene (500 cc each time) and 16 times with water (500 cc each time). The wet cake was dried at a temperature of 125° C. in a forced hot air oven overnight to give 1013g (94% yield) of ethylene-bis-(phthalimide) which was off-white in color and had a melting point of 239-241° C. and an acid value of 0.11
For comparative purposes, yellow ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), i.e. Ethyl Corporation's BT-93™ flame retardant, was obtained and uncured white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) and cured white ethylene-bis-tetrabromophthalimide) were prepared.
A 3 liter resin kettle equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, thermowatch, double glycol condenser, addition funnel and heating mantle was charged with 1464 g of 65% oleum and 240.2 g of ethylene-bis-(phthalimide). The contents were stirred and heated to 55° C. Bromine (583 g) was then added dropwise over a period of five hours. After the addition was complete, the reaction mass was heated to reflux (60-63° C.) and maintained at that temperature for two hours. The reaction mass was further heated to 85° C. and stirred at that temperature for another eight hours. The unreacted bromine and SO3 were distilled off. The reaction slurry was cooled to 30° C. and poured slowly over a large amount of ice. The product was washed with water eight times (3 liter of water each time) and then filtered. The filtered cake was dried at 125° C. overnight to give 683 g (96% yield) of the white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) with a melting point of 456-458° C.
White ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) was prepared as above. Additionally, the following process step was performed. 643 g of previously dried (125° C.) white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) was placed as a thin layer, about 1/2 inch thick, on a sheet in a forced hot air oven. The material was then cured at a temperature of about 250° C. for 18 hours to yield 623 g of the material.
Thermogravimetric analyses were performed on the above produced yellow, uncured white and cured white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide)s with a duPont 1090 Thermal Analyzer. Table I gives the results.
In the tables, EBT is defined as ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide).

Uncured white and cured white ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), the former having a Yellowness Index of about 5 to about 7 and the latter having a Yellowness Index of about 10 to about 14, were both compounded with white poly(butyleneterephthalate), i.e. VALOX 420, a product of the General Electric Company. The Yellowness Index was determined by a Hunter's Colorometer. The resultant composition was formulated as follows.

The compounding was effected by use of a Brabender Mixer at a temperature of about 270° C.
The resultant composition was formed into plaques by compression molding. The compression molding press was operated at pressure of about 250 psi and at a temperature of about 230° C. with a molding time of 4 minutes. After the plaque was formed in the mold it was cooled to room temperature and then removed from the mold.
The plaques produced from the composition containing the uncured ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide) were noticeably yellower than the plaques produced from the composition containing the cured ethylene-bis-(tetrabromophthalimide), the latter being essentially yellow color free.
Table III compares the change in color of the plaques upon being exposed to ultraviolet light for 48 hours in a Sunlighter Model 150 manufactured by Test-Lab Apparatus Company of Milford, N.H.

LEHI, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 12/06/12 -- With the large volume of tablet sales expected this holiday season, companies need to be prepared for an influx of devices being connected to data and services on their corporate networks. A clearly written and concise BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policy is the first step in allowing the use of personal devices than can improve productivity while also articulating the expectations regarding the use of personal devices in relation to company assets.
Matrix42, a global leader of physical, mobile and virtual Workplace Management solutions, has provided five key elements of an effective BYOD policy that clearly outlines acceptable use of corporate IT resources on mobile devices and what security controls are expected to be followed. It can create a reasonable balance where employees can connect their devices but within corporate guidelines:
- Outline acceptable use - This includes clearly identifying how devices may and may not be used on company time and in connecting to company resources. It also outlines apps, company resources and web sites that may be accessed via a mobile device and functions that may have limitations, such as not allowing the camera to be used on company property.
- Approved devices and support - Be as inclusive as possible but also recognize that not all devices may be able to meet your security requirements. Identify which devices and operating systems may be used and detail what type of issues will be supported by the company's IT department.
- Measures for securing devices - Employees need to understand that while they may be allowed to access company resources with their personal devices, there is an expectation of maintaining security. List the requirements for having password protection on the device and the amount of idle time that will require a password to be entered before use. Clearly outline the rights of the company to lock, wipe or locate a device if it becomes lost or stolen or upon termination of employment.
- Reimbursement policies - It is easy for data charges and/or roaming charges to quickly accumulate on a mobile device. Employees need to understand the level of reimbursement they can expect for hardware costs and call, text and data usage. Be sure to factor in plan overage charges and roaming charges that may be incurred.
- Enforcement and liability - A policy does not do much good if it is not enforced. Identify for employees the penalties for not following policy and where the liability lies for things like loss of company or personal data and using a jailbroken or rooted phone. Include a signature section for the employee to acknowledge the policy.
"The Consumer Electronics Association predicts 32 million tablets will be sold at the end of this year, and it is a reasonable expectation that many of those will end up being connected to a corporate network or email account," said Gil Cattelain, director of marketing at Matrix42. "It is imperative that companies are prepared with a BYOD policy that clearly outlines expectations, security measures and enforcement. This creates an understanding between company and employees that balances the cost, productivity and employee satisfaction benefits of BYOD with the need to keep company data and resources secure and uncompromised."
Matrix42 makes it easy to launch a BYOD program that meets the needs of both employees and the company with a mobile device management (MDM) solution that automates the process of tracking, monitoring and managing mobile devices connected to the network. Matrix42 is the only company to integrate MDM with self-service capabilities that allow users to acquire and self-provision their device through the company's service catalog, download approved applications, and access management features such as device location and data wiping.

In attempts to preserve some Iowa history, farming and life in the "good ol' days," property owners across the state have restored old barns for several years which are then featured semi-annually in the Iowa Barn Foundation's Iowa Barn Tour. This year three barns in Buena Vista County will be featured on Sept. 20 and 21st from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Landowners say barns are disappearing quickly as many become in disrepair and are torn down.
The Youngberg barn was built by Pete Herlin in 1911. The barn is now owned by Lenore and Arlyn Youngberg of Albert City. The Youngberg couple moved to the farmplace in 1956 to raise their five children. During that time Arlyn says he taught school and farmed. "Not much time for yourself," he says. The barn originally was home to milk cows and hogs. Then for many years the couple raised and trained registered Percheron draft horses. If you visit the farm you'll meet Dixie, a Percheron and Flicka an Appaloosa-Percheron cross.
Youngberg says as people tour the barns he wants them to remember that they are more than just an old building. "There are so many more things a barn exemplifies than an old building," he says. The sights, the sounds, the smells of a barn. They are witness to new life of baby animals as well as the death of a favorite horse - a laboratory of rural America.
Youngberg says he feels the barns are a history lesson for any age whether you come from the country or city. He says he finds all barns unique because he said he hasn't seen two barns that are identical. "Every one is unique in its own right," he says. Another barn was originally located on the farm land, however, was closer to the road. Youngberg says he was told some of the boards used to build the new barn came from the old barn as well as some other businesses in Albert City and Marathon.
Landowners can receive matching grants provided by the Iowa Barn Foundation to help fix up the barns to feature in the tour so Youngberg felt it would be a chance to fix the barn up again to show people. He says he also felt being part of the tour would be a good way to meet new people he might not otherwise get to meet and says it's paid off, he's meant people from at least seven or eight states including California. The Youngberg barn is located at 4886 220th Ave., Albert City.
April and Kevin Dwyer of Linn Grove began fixing up some old buildings on their farmplace not intending to even be part of the barn tour. However, April says after they started painting the barn people began stopping by and marvelling at how nice it looked. While April didn't grow up on a farm she says she has had an interest in barns and abandoned farm places for quite a while and has spent some time photographing them. She says they didn't realize just how much work it would be to repaint the barn and clean the barn out. "It was a mess," she says.
However, she said not much was done to the inside to remodel it to make it look as original as possible. "It really was a labor of love." Memorabilia for the barn was collected from thrift sales including old photographs. The only useable items in the barn worth keeping was a scale and a milking stool, she says. The original section of the barn was supposedly built in 1890, she says.
The Dwyer's barn now known as the Moonhill Barn was first featured in 2007 on the barn tour. Growing up in the city April says they never noticed the sky as much. "The moon seems to be looking down at us (in the country," she says. Two years ago she says she visited The Youngberg and Mickelson barns which are also part of the tour. "I thought I can do this," she says. She applied to be a member of the tour group the same night. Many long hours went into researching the farmplace. April found names, where the families are buried, where they went to school but says she still can't find out much information about the barn and who built it but wishes she did.
"Our history is the barn, if you didn't grow up on a farm you relatives did. She says she is saddened when she sees a barn that becomes run down and is torn down. The Moonhill Barn is located on 774 480th street, Linn Grove.
Roger Mickelson has lived on his family farm for about 80 years. He says he grew up with the barn. "This is his farm, we hated to see it go down," says Ruth. They renovated the barn in 2001 and the barn tour first featured the barn in 2002. All the items featured in the barn either belonged to Roger's mother or were stored in the barn. "As we cleaned it out we kept finding stuff," she says. Mickelson says he's not sure who will keep up the barn when he passes away. He and his wife Ruth raised five children on the farm but none of them got into farming.
"A lot of people who come through (the barns) can remember and reminisce." he says. However, it's also a chance for people to learn more about the history of Iowa who may know nothing about farming. The barn is located on 5126 Highway 71, Storm Lake.
