Justifies buying a ps3 by itself!Just finished the single player campaign yesterday, and man this has one of the best story-driven games out there! And the graphics can give any of the current games a run for the money.. The characters are well fleshed-out, and each one has good dialogues (even the guy who speaks in incomprehensible Tibetan throughout!). Naughty Dog has truly created an epic action adventure game with hollywood-esque production values.

An astronaut is someone who travels in space. While the term was once reserved for military-trained professionals, recent accessibility of space travel has seen the term astronaut now used to refer to anyone traveling in a spacecraft, including civilians.
The word astronaut includes the root naut, from nautes, the Greek word for "sailor." This suffix can be used to create many travel-specific words. For example, the Argonauts were mythical Greek sailors on the ship named the Argo. Astronaut gets the astro from the Greek word astron, meaning "star," making an astronaut a "star sailor." Russian space explorers took the title cosmonauts, with the cosmo part coming from the Greek for "universe," kosmos, so both have the same meaning.

Rather than continue to piggyback on the other thread ("New" tandem: Our restored 90s Burley Duet), I thought I should start my own.
I purchased the subject tandem a few months ago and have been "restoring" it back to a decent condition. All the paint was stripped and decals obtained. I have been uncertain about what to do about paint so decided to assemble the bike in the "white" and try it out along with finding what else needed to be done.
My wife and I have been doing loops, 1.1 miles, around Ft Hunt to get use to being on a tandem as well as getting everything adjusted. This week end we took it to Antietum Battlefield for a shakedown.

Kannada actress Nikita Thukral, known for films like "Prince" and "Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna" has been roped in to be a part of yet untitled Hindi remake of Malayalam super hit "Traffic", a story about organ donation narrated in a hyperlink format.
"Yes, we have roped in Nikita for the Hindi remake of 'Traffic'. I don't want to talk about her role at this moment, but we are planning to start shooting soon," the film's director Rajesh Pillai, who had helmed the original as well, told IANS.
"Traffic", which was inspired by real events, was recently made in Tamil as "Chennaiyil Oru Naal" and garnered critical acclaim.
The director is still to finalise the remaining cast for the remake.
"The casting is going on for the Hindi version. I can't talk about the rest of the cast until it is finalized," he added.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Falls Church
by Bethany1202
Review: I've been to Loving Hut twice now and sampled a good bit of their foods. I highly recommend it for anyone in the area. We don't live nearby but whenever we travel we know we have to make a pit stop, at least for carry out! The menu is pretty diverse with a good amount of appetizers, soups, entrees, sandwiches and specials; not to mention the desserts! The prices are great, it's a good size area to dine in with quite a number of tables available, and the staff is very friendly.

Two anti-gang-violence innovators with impressive track records but very different approaches are in Seattle to talk about their programs that have sliced homicide rates by at least half in some of the country's toughest neighborhoods. Both the men — an epidemiologist and a criminologist — rely on community members, including ex-felons and former gang members,...
Dr. Gary Slutkin, a Chicago epidemiologist, views gang violence as an infectious disease, one that can't be cured with police sweeps and prison sentences. His strategy is aimed at changing behavior, much like the public-health campaigns that persuaded people to use condoms or quit smoking.
New York City criminologist David Kennedy believes in issuing ultimatums, not to individuals but to entire groups: Stop the killings or we'll come down hard, not just on the shooter but everyone in his gang, for things like parole violations, drug dealing and unpaid child support.
Though they work separately, both men have impressive track records, launching programs that have sliced homicide rates by at least half in some of the country's toughest neighborhoods. On the surface, their approaches seem wildly different. But at their core, both rely on community members — including ex-felons and former gang members — to carry a simple message to the streets:
Stop it.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
The two men are bringing their expertise to Seattle, invited here by City Councilmember Tim Burgess, a former cop who chairs the city's Public Safety, Human Services and Education Committee.
Slutkin doesn't think punishment works, while Kennedy believes consequences for violent behavior must be swift and certain. But both seek to interrupt the cycle of violence and retaliation by changing community norms.
"They clearly are different, but at their core, they're the same," Burgess said. "Slutkin will use the language of an epidemiologist and Kennedy will use the language of a criminologist, but they're both going the same place, which is why I find them fascinating and think we can learn from both."
This morning, Slutkin will address the Seattle-King County Regional Law, Safety and Justice Committee before attending a town-hall forum in West Seattle tonight. Friday, he'll meet with physicians and local public-health officials.
Kennedy, who arrives Sunday, will spend two days in private meetings with law-enforcement officials, city leaders and pastors and activists from Seattle's black community.
Burgess began researching innovative gang interventions in early 2008, after 17-year-old Allen Joplin was gunned down at a party in Queen Anne. Before the year was over, four more teenagers were dead, their shooters unpunished because witnesses refused to cooperate with police.
Since then, Mayor Greg Nickels and the City Council have launched an $8 million effort to curb youth-on-youth violence. The Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, with allocated resources to help roughly 800 young people leave the streets, is already incorporating one key component common to both Slutkin and Kennedy's work: employing credible, trusted community members — many with criminal histories themselves — as outreach workers.
Violence "interrupters"
Slutkin, a professor at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, helped launch the Chicago Project for Violence Intervention in 2000. During its first year, the project saw a 67 percent decline in homicides in the first neighborhood where "violence interrupters" — people who are considered credible by those on the street — were sent out to quell the thirst for retaliation among rival gang members.
Slutkin explained that the Chicago Project seeks to change the thinking of gang members who think that having a grievance justifies violence as a solution. In communities where gun violence is tied up with the notions of manhood and honor, it's imperative to change what's considered "normal," to make young men understand that they aren't expected to seek vengeance and will hurt the ones they love if they do, he said.
Slutkin's model is now being adopted by other cities, including Baltimore and Kansas City, Mo., he said.
"It works, and it's not just me saying it works. It's data, it's science," he said.
Fighting "street code"
Kennedy, the director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, seeks to establish partnerships between police, social-service providers and community members to identify gangs and their members — and to offer those who want out a safe way to leave. An organization he helped launch last year, called the National Network of Safe Communities, now has a membership of 30 U.S. cities.
In many cities, a small population of "extreme offenders" is responsible for a majority of killings, nonfatal shootings and public drug dealing, he said.
To counteract "a very powerful street code," community members and police officers set up meetings with groups of parolees from different gangs — who then take the messages they hear back to their groups, Kennedy said.
"Fundamentally, it is the moral voice of the community, which can say like nobody else: 'You're important, we care about you but what you're doing is wrong and we can't have it,' " he said.
The role of the police is then to put gangs on notice, Kennedy said: "They hear law enforcement say, 'We're as tired of this as you are, but this is not a negotiation. … The price for the next shooting is that the whole group is going to pay.' "

SANTA ROSA -- A team at Claret Medical, Inc., has developed what's designed to be a feasible and safe blood filtration technique to help reduce strokes following heart valve implantation.
The company is being recognized for its leadership in medical-device manufacturing.
In February, Claret Medical (claretmedical.com) announced that it had received investigative device exemption (IDE) approval for U.S. pivotal trial of The Sentinel cerebral protection system in the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patient population from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The company now plans to initiate a 15-center human patient study in the U.S. over eight to 10 months, followed by a 510(k) FDA review cycle. Following final FDA approval, the device would be approved for use within the U.S. The approval process considers both the type of device and an analysis of clinical data from patients that have had the procedure.
[caption id="attachment_95447" align="alignleft" width="360"] Larry Carrier (left), vice president for regulatory and clinical quality; Tony Fields, chief operating officer; and Dan Fifer, vice president for research and development, in front of Claret Medical's clean room in north Santa Rosa.[/caption]
TAVR involves delivering a new heart value tightly packaged into a catheter and typically inserted through an artery in a patient's leg and guided to the heart.
In a similar procedure, the two Sentinel filters are remotely deployed in arteries leading from the heart to the brain.
"The Sentinel is designed to work with any cardiac intervention you can think of," said Tony Fields, chief operating officer with Claret Medical. "While stroke is one of the most feared complications of cardiac interventions, other neuro cardiac cognitive impairing events, or deficits, can occur due to what is called silent infarct. Symptoms include short- and long-term memory loss, personality changes and a reduction in functional mobility, among others."
He said there is big potential for Claret Medical, headed by President and CEO Azin Parhizgar, Ph.D., if their company can prove that its device can also reduce neurocognitive deficits.

Thanks. That's pretty long. This is one of the reasons I haven't used rechargeables: you'd have to remember to charge it several hours before your ride.
environmental nightmare. They are also really expensive. I bought Eneloop Combo Pack at Costco for $25. These can be recharged thousands of times.

If you don't use the lights/batteries for a long time (e.g. if you don't often ride in the dark), do you still have to recharge the batteries from time to time to maintain it's capacity (like what one is supposed to do with laptop batteries)?
OK thanks for the info. So it depends... Again this is another negative of using rechargeables: maintenance. And when you recharge you have to watch the time... For someone who does not often ride at night, it seems to me alkaline AAA batts at less than 50 cents/each, or a 20-pack for $10, is a great deal comparing with rechargeables with their cost (incl. the charger)+maintenance hassles?
Sure, if you only use a few alkaline cells each year then you might as well stick with those. But if you're going through more than one of those 20-packs each year for the various things in which you use AA/AAA cells, then you'd probably come out ahead switching to NiMHs.

Thanks again. It seems what chargers one uses also matters. Good "smart" chargers are probably more expensive. If the charger is not good, I've heard you can overcharge a battery and shorten its life or lower its capacity.
Yes I haven't used up the 20-pack I bought last fall yet ($16). I can't wait to finish them, so I keep riding in the evenings these days . I don't have other devices that use those AAAs, if I did, then I may follow you to try the rechargeables.
Get a good smart charger. Sony makes a good one for $15 or $25 and they both include a set of four LSD AA Nimh batteries. Personally I'd pick the $25 one since it will ship for free if you buy off Amazon. It takes about 2 hours to charge 1-2 AA or about 3-4 hours for 3 or 4 AA on the $25 model. The $15 model takes about 6 hours to charge 1 to 4 AA. A pack of 4 AAA will probably run $10 too...
The LSD batteries will retain something like 80% of their original charge even if you leave them alone for a year so self-discharge is really a non-issue. My rear blinky in strobe consumes about 35-50% of the capacity in about a week's worth of commuting which is around 5-8 hours depending if I go on a ride after work. So even after a year, there is plenty of run time.
Personally I charge my batteries once a week so there is no doubt whether or not I have good batteries but I use mine a lot. My 18650 light, though, only goes for about two hours so I always keep a spare in my bag since I always forget how long I've had the light running.

Matte Factor Lip Paint12:40 AM
And I'm back. After a stressful weeekkkk. Hahaha. I need a refreshing look. Or something that will make me look energized. I dont usually wear dark shades of lipstick cause it makes me look older and my lips thicker but my views changed when I tried using Miners Mattefactor Lip Stain I've got from Skye Avenue.
It has a strong red color and it makes you stand out. Imagine how much impact it makes!
It's affordable.
Easy to apply.
Can also be used as a blush for the cheeks.
Works for hours.
Only P300.
But it flakes on dry lips so better use a lip moisturizer before using the product.
Stay pretty, gals!

It looks good on you. :)ReplyDelete

Best Keith Urban songs, 'Grace of God' to 'For You'
With several past "American Idol" alums opting for country careers after either winning the FOX singing competition (Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery) or finishing somewhere in the Top 10 (Bucky Covington, Kellie Pickler) in the first 11 seasons, it made sense that producers would hire a country star as a judge for Season 12.
And Keith Urban rose to the challenge. Now, the New Zealand–born, Australian-raised Grammy-winning country singer/songwriter is back to making country music, touring a chart-topping album called "Fuse," which brings Urban to Ak-Chin Pavilion this weekend.

integrated development environment (IDE)
(The abbreviation IDE also stands for Integrated Drive Electronics.)
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a programming environment that has been packaged as an application program, typically consisting of a code editor, a compiler, a debugger, and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder. The IDE may be a standalone application or may be included as part of one or more existing and compatible applications. The BASIC programming language, for example, can be used within Microsoft Office applications, which makes it possible to write a WordBasic program within the Microsoft Word application. IDEs provide a user-friendly framework for many modern programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Java, and PowerBuilder.

Denny's Daily Zinger: Desperately Needed—Adult Web Designers
My opinion: The majority of today's Web designers think of themselves and not the reader.
Example: See the order form in the media player at right.
I ordered opera tickets from Philadelphia's leading music venue.
Only two phrases are readable:
• Thank you for your order!
• Single Tickets
Everything I entered appears in light gray.
All else is light gray, light blue or light orange mouse-type.
I once asked long time reader Will Ezell what the hell these untrained, effete artistes think they are doing.
Will said he asked a Web designer why everything was in light, unreadable type.
The designer said, "I don't want it to look horsy."
To which Will replied, "Horse shit!"
Takeaway to Consider
- Web designers are like Emperor Nero. They like to fiddle while the reader burns.
- If your designer's work is unreadable, send it back for surgery.
- If no dramatic changes are made, fire the designer.
Denny Hatch's new book is "Write Everything Right!" Wesley Murph, The Marketing Maniac, writes, "I was just dropping you a line to let you know that I totally "dig" your new book. I haven't gotten through it all. But what I have read, I love. In particular, I really enjoy your style. You call a spade a spade. And what's cool is nine times out of ten you're dead on the money. Keep up the great work!" Click here to download (opens as a PDF) and read the first 3 Chapters FREE. The title is also available on Kindle. Reach him at email@example.com.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Interesting, quick PAID project for experienced 3D designer http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50709&th=10060#msg_50709 <![CDATA[Interesting, quick paid project for experienced NYC-based 3D designer:

 What: I'm looking to create a prototype of prosthetic leg covering that's better than the options currently available to me. I'm a new amputee and highly unsatisfied with the options available. I'm looking for an experienced Maya3D designer who can take an off-the shelf model (attached) of a human body, extract the calf geometry and make some simple adjustments to it. These adjustments include increasing the size to match my remaining leg, adding a simple clip on the inside so I can attach the piece to my prosthetic leg, and some simple design flourishes.

 When: This project has to move fast because I would like to have the piece printed by Shapeways and in my hands by July 15. This project should literally take an experienced (or even intermediate) 3D designer about 1.5 hours to complete. If you know what you're doing this shouldn't be too difficult especially since you'll be working with an already-created model of a human calf.

 Where: I would highly prefer a NYC-based designer so that we can meet in person, take measurements, and briefly discuss some nuances to how the prosthetic leg works and how it would affect your design. Will also consider working with a non-NYC based designer who's okay with working from pictures and measurements I provide (though thats not ideal)

 Compensation: $200 for your time

 Any interested designers please contact me ASAP at: email@example.com or PM]]> dre0626 2012-07-02T15:10:50-00:00

Gen 1: Charmander is good, the other two are meh...
Gen 2: I used Cyndaquil, but it didn't compare to the other fire starters. The other two are on the lackluster side.
Gen 3: I love using Mudkip & Treecko, Torchic, not so much.
Gen 4: Chimchar!!! My favorite family of fire-types! The other two are more like tanks, but overall, they're still useable.
Gen 5: I really struggled finding a use for any of their starters. They all have wonky stats. Oshawott is the only one that doesn't, but I'm not a fan of water-types in general.
So, gen 5 has the worst starters for me.

John McDonald of Garth: The Last Nor'wester
Green, Larry, Alberta History
John McDonald of Garth, the son of a military officer, was born about 1774 on the family estate at Callander, Perthshire, in the Highlands of Scotland. He was destined for a career in the army and when he was fourteen years old his father obtained a commission for him. But a childhood injury intervened. He explains:
My right hand had been dislocated by the carelessness of my nurse in raising [me] up by the arms. It was not perceptible until of age to use it. It was then too late to set it in its original socket and so I remained to make my left hand my right.... It was found that my arm was an objection to my entering the army, so that I did not follow the profession of most of my Forefathers.(1)
His course was diverted from the battlefields of Europe. Instead, he followed the footsteps of so many of his countrymen to the fur trade in the northwestern interior of British North America.
In 1859, when he was in his late eighties, he responded to a request from his youngest son and his "very dear Daughter in law" for "some sketch of [his] long life." He replied: "You will remember that I am in my Eighty ninth (89th) year & that my memory is failing. Also that in any attempt of the kind there must consequently be many errors.... However I shall try & meet your wishes however incorrectly & as briefly as I can.(2) Then, between March 1 and 26, in a clear, firm hand, he penned his memoirs of his days as a fur trader in the "Indians Territory called the North West Territory, but at this day the Hudson's Bay territory."(3) The document, titled "Autobiographical Notes of John McDonald of Garth," contains about thirty-five thousand words and is now reposited at McGill University.
When McDonald wrote his memoirs, he was recalling incidents that occurred between 1791 and 1816 -- sixty-eight to forty-three years previously. It is not surprising that he made numerous errors, his remembrance of the chronology of events being particularly inaccurate. L.R. Masson published extracts from the "Autobiographical Notes" in 1890. He provided scant editorial comment, used McDonald's incorrect dates for the occurrences of events, and did not comment on the inaccuracies. Perhaps he was unaware of them. Moreover, he made numerous alterations of McDonald's original text and took extensive liberties in changing his word and sentence structures. The result is a garbled and abbreviated version which is published in Les bourgeois de la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest.(4) Masson's editing and publishing of the memoirs was an injustice to their author. Unfortunately, it was, and, remains today, the most readily accessible version of the "Autobiographical Notes."
Arthur S. Morton, the pre-eminent historian of the north-west fur trade, studied the memoirs and commented that they were "written in the boastfulness of old age."(5) Although he recognized the poignancy of some of McDonald's writing, he observed: "We are often teased by his successive fightings with beast and man when so much of greater importance could have been said."(6) Morton's comments had an immense influence on subsequent scholarship, and his dismissive opinions about McDonald probably contributed to the relegation of the memoirs to the periphery of fur-trade studies.
As a result, John McDonald of Garth has not fared well at the hands of historians, many of whom have regarded the man and his "Autobiographical Notes" as of little significance. But, in fact, the memoirs have much to offer the patient reader. They provide a unique insight into the history of the Canadian West during its most turbulent period, the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. They reflect many aspects of the functioning of the North-West fur trade: patronage, the duties of clerks and partners, social inequality, transportation and logistics, violence, and the "exhilaration and grossness"(7) of fur trade society. And they contain some of the most vibrant, picturesque writing to be found in the fur-trade literature. …

Take the Weight Off: 5 DIY Tricks to Make a Heavy Furniture Piece Look Lighter
Do you have a piece of furniture in your home you love, but it's just a little too "heavy?" We don't mean weight-wise (though certainly, it could be heavy that way, too). We mean, visually heavy.

What makes cocoa recipes so healthy? Cocoa beans are a particularly potent source of antioxidants, substances that mop up free radicals. Free radicals can damage blood vessels, leading to heart problems. The damage they cause can also lead to cancer-triggering mutations. Studies have also shown that flavonols, antioxidants found in chocolate, help lower your levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and boost "good" HDL cholesterol. They ease inflammation and help prevent clotting and arterial plaque formation. Also, chocolate can reduce blood pressure, and may help prevent type 2 diabetes by encouraging hormones to transport sugar from the blood into cells for fuel. In addition, a Georgetown University study found that when human breast cancer cells were treated with pentamer, another antioxidant that's found in cocoa, the rapid growth that can lead to tumors was interrupted. If pentamer is found to perform the same way in the body, it might have potential as a cancer treatment.
Natural unsweetened cocoa powder has the highest level of cocoa flavonols and is the healthiest form of chocolate. And as we were reminded last month—October being Fair Trade Month—your chocolate purchases can help improve the lives of small farmers if you buy organic, Fair Trade–certified cocoa powder. Fair Trade certification aims to protect farmers in developing countries from exploitation by large corporations or from price fluctuations for commodity crops. In order to be Fair Trade–certified, companies are required to pay farmers a fair price for crops, enabling farmers to pay their workers a living wage, avoid using child labor and practice environmentally friendly farming methods.
Adding cocoa to savory dishes is a great way to get the benefits of chocolate without all the fat and sugar usually found in sweet chocolate-based treats.
#1: Black Bean Cocoa Soup with Lime Zest. You'll want to double this delicious recipe featuring protein-packed, fiber-rich black beans; keep the leftovers on hand to reheat as needed (freeze it if you won't be using it in a week or so).
#2: Spicy Chicken Stew. This nourishing stew uses ingredients you're likely to have on hand, and is ready in less than 30 minutes.
#3: Spinach Salad with Maple-Mustard Dressing. This highly nutritious salad gets its crunch from cocoa nibs—roasted cocoa beans separated from their husks and broken into bits. Other ideas for using cocoa nibs: Try them in your favorite cookie recipe, or on top of ice cream.
#4: Beef Burgundy. This classic dish is elegant enough for an autumn dinner party and hearty enough for the coldest winter night. Round out the meal with crusty bread and a green salad.
#5: Slow Cooker Black Bean Chili. Cocoa powder is a great addition to any chili recipe. More ideas: Sprinkle cocoa powder into yogurt or cereal, or stir it into banana or zucchini bread batter.

GATES, Ore. (AP) — Sheriff's officers say rescue crews have recovered one body from the North Santiam River near Gates, Ore., while a second person is missing in the river.
The Oregonian reports that the Linn County sheriff's office said late Friday that ground and aerial teams had suspended the search for a second person and planned to resume looking on Saturday. One adult and one child were believed to be involved; it was not immediately clear who had been found.
Marion County sheriff's Commander Kevin Schultz says the initial call for help Friday afternoon indicated three people were in the water near Niagara Park. He says one person made it out of the river.
The area is about 40 miles east of Salem.

Anthony Edwards dials back to 'Zero' in his series return
It's "Zero Hour" for Anthony Edwards, somewhat literally.
The former "ER" star consciously stepped away from television after finishing his tenure as Dr. Mark Greene on that long-running drama, but he's ready to get back in the game. He does that at 7 p.m. Thursday with the premiere of his new ABC suspense drama about a paranormally inclined publisher desperate to find his kidnapped wife (Jacinda Barrett), whose interest in old timepieces leads to her disappearance.
The vanishing is tied to a mystery sparked by the Nazis' reign in Germany — as detailed in the debut episode's prologue — and also to an antique clock with surprising contents. The husband's resulting globe-spanning search links him to the mercenary abductor (Michael Nyqvist, of the original movies inspired by the "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" literary trilogy) and an unrelenting FBI agent (Carmen Ejogo). Addison Timlin and Scott Michael Foster play the Edwards character's magazine colleagues, who assist in his hunt; Charles S. Dutton ("Roc") also appears as a helpful clergyman.
Created by executive producer Paul T. Scheuring ("Prison Break"), "Zero Hour" inspired Edwards to resume series work because of how unique he believes it is.
"I very intentionally took many years off," he says, "having felt complete and great from 'ER.' I knew there was a time to really focus on my family. We moved to New York, traveled around the world for a year and did all kinds of great things.
"About a year and a half ago, I got offered a play ... and I was like, 'Hmm. I could wrap my mind around doing that for six months, and if I'm ready for that, maybe I'm ready to go back and play in the medium I really love.'"
Edwards began developing television projects, and shortly after one just missed the cut at Showtime, the "Zero Hour" script came his way.
"It just hit me," he says. "I thought, 'If they're crazy enough to make this, I'm crazy enough to want to do it.' It just read differently. I hadn't seen this on network television, and it had a character I immediately related to, so I was like, 'Let's try it.'"
The series provided Edwards — whose portrayal of Navy pilot Goose is getting new exposure this month in the 3-D refitting of "Top Gun," in theaters and on home video — with someone completely fresh to play.
"It was really a relief that the character was not a doctor or a lawyer or a policeman," he says of playing someone defined by the name of his publication, Modern Skeptic. "There are a lot of great stories to be told in those worlds, but I'm just not a procedural kind of person.
"Every episode doesn't have to have a beginning, middle and end, if you can put (all the episodes) together. '24' proved that."

World Music Awards special: Nancy Ajram beats Elissa and co to the "Best Arab Female Artist" title this year
Lebanese superstar Nancy Ajram claimed the number 1 spot as best female artist in the Arab world once again.
The sensational singer rightfully earned the "World Music Award" for "Best Arab Female Artist" for the third time since the beginning of her prosperous career, reported Laha Magazine.
Nancy was up against Lebanese singer Elissa and Carole Samaha, Syrian singer Asala, Moroccan singer Samira Said and Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab.
Elissa had won the same award three times in previous years as well.
Nancy will be performing at the 2014 World Music Awards on May 27 in the luxurious French city of Monte Carlo, where she will be receiving her winning trophy on the night.
According to Laha Magazine, Nancy thanked her fans for winning her the vote and promised them plenty more projects that will meet their expectations.
The winner added that her main goal is to get love and appreciation from her fans, adding that tickets to her concerts usually sell-out two to three months in advance; so winning this award is just an added bonus to her ongoing success.

Be the first connected fleet in your city.
Cabsolutely is rolling out around the country. To be the first taxi fleet in your city to take on ride sharing, drop us a line and we'll get to work.
This is how we roll.
How Cabsolutely works:
1. Tap
Use the Request Ride button to call the closest cab to your location.
2. Ride
Be promptly picked up and driven by a trained and insured professional to your destination.
3. Pay
Once you arrive at your destination, pay from the app—no cash or card to hand over.
Don't leave us hanging.
After you ride, let us know how we did. We take ratings seriously, using feedback to continuously improve service. No joke. Though, we did consider putting a picture here of a monkey dressed in chaps just to lighten the mood a little bit.
How we're making cab rides the best rides.
Don't call a cab. Click one.
No more calling and waiting. Just open the app, hit a button, then rub your eyes in disbelief as a cab shows up in record time.
Our drivers are professionals, not students.
All our taxi drivers are trained, licensed, and insured. So no matter who's behind the wheel, you can be confident you're dealing with a driver who knows his stuff, not a part-timer trying to make an extra buck after his underwater basket weaving class.
A ride is always close. So look out!
Taxi fleets have more cabs on the road at any given time than Uber and Lyft combined. And about eight times as many as the local horse and buggy operation. Plus, Cabsolutely always calls the closest possible ride to minimize the wait.
We're always available. Because, you know, it's our job.
Cab companies have a policy to always have a certain number of cars on the road at all times, so you'll always have a ride when you need one. Seriously, test us. Whether it's the start of a busy day when you need to catch a 6:00am flight to Paducah, or the end of a regrettable night involving 2-for-1 margaritas and a busboy named Ramon, we'll be there. And we promise not to ask any embarrassing questions.

We report a model describing the molecular orientation disorder in CH3NH3PbI3, solving a classical Hamiltonian parametrised with electronic structure calculations, with the nature of the motions informed by ab initio molecular dynamics. We investigate the temperature and static electric field dependence of the equilibrium ferroelectric (molecular) domain structure and resulting polarisability. A rich domain structure of twinned molecular dipoles is observed, strongly varying as a function of temperature and applied electric field. We propose that the internal electrical fields associated with microscopic polarisation domains contribute to hysteretic anomalies in the current-voltage response of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells due to variations in electron-hole recombination in the bulk.
Pillar shape modulation in epitaxial BiFeO3–CoFe2O4 vertical nanocomposite films2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892695View Description Hide Description
Self-assembled epitaxial CoFe2O4-BiFeO3 nanocomposite films, in which pillars of CoFe2O4 grow within a single crystal BiFeO3 matrix, show both ferrimagnetism and ferroelectricity. The pillars typically have a uniform cross-section, but here two methods are demonstrated to produce a width modulation during growth by pulsed laser deposition. This was achieved by growing a blocking layer of BiFeO3 to produce layers of separated pillars or pillars with constrictions, or by changing the temperature during growth to produce bowling-pin shaped pillars. Modulated nanocomposites showed changes in their magnetic anisotropy compared to nanocomposites with uniform width. The magnetic anisotropy was interpreted as a result of magnetoelastic and shape anisotropies.

Persistent photovoltage in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cells2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4885255View Description Hide Description
We herein perform open circuit voltage decay (OCVD) measurements on methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite solar cells to increase the understanding of the charge carrier recombination dynamics in this emerging technology. Optically pulsed OCVD measurements are conducted on CH3NH3PbI3 solar cells and compared to results from another type of thin-film photovoltaics, namely, the two reference polymer–fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cell devices based on P3HT:PC60BM and PTB7:PC70BM blends. We observe two very different time domains of the voltage transient in the perovskite solar cell with a first drop on a short time scale that is similar to the decay in the studied organic solar cells. However, 65%–70% of the maximum photovoltage persists on much longer timescales in the perovskite solar cell than in the organic devices. In addition, we find that the recombination dynamics in all time regimes are dependent on the starting illumination intensity, which is also not observed in the organic devices. We then discuss the potential origins of these unique behaviors.
Parameters influencing the deposition of methylammonium lead halide iodide in hole conductor free perovskite-based solar cells2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4885548View Description Hide Description
Perovskite is a promising light harvester for use in photovoltaic solar cells. In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has been dramatically increased, making them a competitive source of renewable energy. An important parameter when designing high efficiency perovskite-based solar cells is the perovskite deposition, which must be performed to create complete coverage and optimal film thickness. This paper describes an in-depth study on two-step deposition, separating the perovskite deposition into two precursors. The effects of spin velocity, annealing temperature, dipping time, and methylammonium iodide concentration on the photovoltaic performance are studied. Observations include that current density is affected by changing the spin velocity, while the fill factor changes mainly due to the dipping time and methylammonium iodide concentration. Interestingly, the open circuit voltage is almost unaffected by these parameters. Hole conductor free perovskite solar cells are used in this work, in order to minimize other possible effects. This study provides better understanding and control over the perovskite deposition through highly efficient, low-cost perovskite-based solar cells.
Hole-transport material variation in fully vacuum deposited perovskite solar cells2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4889843View Description Hide Description
This work addresses the effect of energy level alignment between the hole-transporting material and the active layer in vacuum deposited, planar-heterojunction CH3NH3PbIx−3Clx perovskite solar cells. Through a series of hole-transport materials, with conductivity values set using controlled p-doping of the layer, we correlate their ionization potentials with the open-circuit voltage of the device. With ionization potentials beyond 5.3 eV, a substantial decrease in both current density and voltage is observed, which highlights the delicate energetic balance between driving force for hole-extraction and maximizing the photovoltage. In contrast, when an optimal ionization potential match is found, the open-circuit voltage can be maximized, leading to power conversion efficiencies of up to 10.9%. These values are obtained with hole-transport materials that differ from the commonly used Spiro-MeO-TAD and correspond to a 40% performance increase versus this reference.
Efficient methylammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cells with active layers from 300 to 900 nm2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4890056View Description Hide Description
Efficient methylammonium lead iodide perovskite-based solar cells have been prepared in which the perovskite layer is sandwiched in between two organic charge transporting layers that block holes and electrons, respectively. This configuration leads to stable and reproducible devices that do not suffer from strong hysteresis effects and when optimized lead to efficiencies close to 15%. The perovskite layer is formed by using a dual-source thermal evaporation method, whereas the organic layers are processed from solution. The dual-source thermal evaporation method leads to smooth films and allows for high precision thickness variations. Devices were prepared with perovskite layer thicknesses ranging from 160 to 900 nm. The short-circuit current observed for these devices increased with increasing perovskite layer thickness. The main parameter that decreases with increasing perovskite layer thickness is the fill factor and as a result optimum device performance is obtained for perovskite layer thickness around 300 nm. However, here we demonstrate that with a slightly oxidized electron blocking layer the fill factor for the solar cells with a perovskite layer thickness of 900 nm increases to the same values as for the devices with thin perovskite layers. As a result the power conversion efficiencies for the cells with 300 and 900 nm are very similar, 12.7% and 12%, respectively.
An easy-to-fabricate low-temperature TiO2 electron collection layer for high efficiency planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4890245View Description Hide Description
Organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells arguably represent the most auspicious new photovoltaic technology so far, as they possess an astonishing combination of properties. The impressive and brisk advances achieved so far bring forth highly efficient and solution processable solar cells, holding great promise to grow into a mature technology that is ready to be embedded on a large scale. However, the vast majority of state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells contains a dense TiO2 electron collection layer that requires a high temperature treatment (>450 °C), which obstructs the road towards roll-to-roll processing on flexible foils that can withstand no more than ∼150 °C. Furthermore, this high temperature treatment leads to an overall increased energy payback time and cumulative energy demand for this emerging photovoltaic technology. Here we present the implementation of an alternative TiO2 layer formed from an easily prepared nanoparticle dispersion, with annealing needs well within reach of roll-to-roll processing, making this technology also appealing from the energy payback aspect. Chemical and morphological analysis allows to understand and optimize the processing conditions of the TiO2 layer, finally resulting in a maximum obtained efficiency of 13.6% for a planar heterojunction solar cell within an ITO/TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3-xClxpoly(3-hexylthiophene)/Ag architecture.
Molecular ferroelectric contributions to anomalous hysteresis in hybrid perovskite solar cells2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4890246View Description Hide Description

We investigate the temperature and static electric field dependence of the equilibrium ferroelectric (molecular) domain structure and resulting polarisability. A rich domain structure of twinned molecular dipoles is observed, strongly varying as a function of temperature and applied electric field.

New iridium complex as additive to the spiro-OMeTAD in perovskite solar cells with enhanced stability2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4890545View Description Hide Description
A new iridium complex, IrCp*Cl(PyPyz)[TFSI], has been synthesized and used as additive for the hole transporter material, spiro-OMeTAD, in perovskite solar cells. The cells prepared with this Ir additive present higher efficiency than reference cells, and similar to cells prepared with Co additive. We have determined that the presence of metal complexes as additives decreases the recombination rate, as it has been observed by impedance spectroscopy. Very interestingly, while the efficiency after 3 months decreases by 22% and 70% for reference cell and cell with Co additive, respectively, the efficiency of devices containing the Ir additive is only decreased by a 4%.
Influence of the orientation of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite crystals on solar cell performance2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4890244View Description Hide Description
Perovskite solar cells are emerging as serious candidates for thin film photovoltaics with power conversion efficiencies already exceeding 16%. Devices based on a planar heterojunction architecture, where the MAPbI3 perovskite film is simply sandwiched between two charge selective extraction contacts, can be processed at low temperatures (<150 °C), making them particularly attractive for tandem and flexible applications. However, in this configuration, the perovskite crystals formed are more or less randomly oriented on the surface. Our results show that by increasing the conversion step temperature from room temperature to 60 °C, the perovskite crystal orientation on the substrate can be controlled. We find that films with a preferential orientation of the long axis of the tetragonal unit cell parallel to the substrate achieve the highest short circuit currents and correspondingly the highest photovoltaic performance.
Role of the crystallization substrate on the photoluminescence properties of organo-lead mixed halides perovskites2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4889845View Description Hide Description
We have fabricated CH3NH3PbI3−xClx perovskite thin films crystallized in situ on substrates of different natures (e.g., porosity, wettability) and investigated their photoluminescence properties. We observe that the crystallization time and thin film structure are strongly influenced by the chemical nature and porosity of the substrate. Moreover, we find that the mesoporous scaffold can tune the emissive properties of the semiconducting compound both in terms of spectral region and dynamics. In particular, perovskite crystallites grown in the nanometre size porous scaffold present a shorter-living and blue-shifted emission with respect to the perovskite crystals which are free to grow without any constraints.
Morphology-photovoltaic property correlation in perovskite solar cells: One-step versus two-step deposition of CH3NH3PbI32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4891275View Description Hide Description
Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 light absorber is deposited on the mesoporous TiO2 layer via one-step and two-step coating methods and their photovoltaic performances are compared. One-step coating using a solution containing CH3NH3I and PbI2 shows average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.5%, while higher average PCE of 13.9% is obtained from two-step coating method, mainly due to higher voltage and fill factor. The coverage, pore-filling, and morphology of the deposited perovskite are found to be critical in photovoltaic performance of the mesoporous TiO2 based perovskite solar cells.
Double functions of porous TiO2 electrodes on CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells: Enhancement of perovskite crystal transformation and prohibition of short circuiting2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4891597View Description Hide Description
In order to analyze the crystal transformation from hexagonal PbI2 to CH3NH3PbI3 by the sequential (two-step) deposition process, perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 layers were deposited on flat and/or porous TiO2 layers. Although the narrower pores using small nanoparticles prohibited the effective transformation, the porous-TiO2 matrix was able to help the crystal transformation of PbI2 to CH3NH3PbI3 by sequential two-step deposition. The resulting PbI2 crystals in porous TiO2 electrodes did not deteriorate the photovoltaic effects. Moreover, it is confirmed that the porous TiO2 electrode had served the function of prohibiting short circuits between working and counter electrodes in perovskite solar cells.
Energy level alignment at the methylammonium lead iodide/copper phthalocyanine interface2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4889844View Description Hide Description
The energy level alignment at the CH3NH3PbI3/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) interface is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). XPS reveal a 0.3 eV downward band bending in the CuPc film. UPS validate this finding and further reveal negligible interfacial dipole formation – verifying the viability of vacuum level alignment. The highest occupied molecular orbital of CuPc is found to be closer to the Fermi level than the valance band maximum of CH3NH3PbI3, facilitating hole transfer from CH3NH3PbI3 to CuPc. However, subsequent hole extraction from CuPc may be impeded by the downward band bending in the CuPc layer.
Charge carrier recombination channels in the low-temperature phase of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite thin films2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4891595View Description Hide Description
The optoelectronic properties of the mixed hybrid lead halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3−xClx have been subject to numerous recent studies related to its extraordinary capabilities as an absorber material in thin film solar cells. While the greatest part of the current research concentrates on the behavior of the perovskite at room temperature, the observed influence of phonon-coupling and excitonic effects on charge carrier dynamics suggests that low-temperature phenomena can give valuable additional insights into the underlying physics. Here, we present a temperature-dependent study of optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission of vapor-deposited CH3NH3PbI3−xClx exploring the nature of recombination channels in the room- and the low-temperature phase of the material. On cooling, we identify an up-shift of the absorption onset by about 0.1 eV at about 100 K, which is likely to correspond to the known tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition of the pure halide CH3NH3PbI3. With further decreasing temperature, a second PL emission peak emerges in addition to the peak from the room-temperature phase. The transition on heating is found to occur at about 140 K, i.e., revealing significant hysteresis in the system. While PL decay lifetimes are found to be independent of temperature above the transition, significantly accelerated recombination is observed in the low-temperature phase. Our data suggest that small inclusions of domains adopting the room-temperature phase are responsible for this behavior rather than a spontaneous increase in the intrinsic rate constants. These observations show that even sparse lower-energy sites can have a strong impact on material performance, acting as charge recombination centres that may detrimentally affect photovoltaic performance but that may also prove useful for optoelectronic applications such as lasing by enhancing population inversion.
Bandgap calculations and trends of organometal halide perovskites2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893495View Description Hide Description
Energy production from the Sun requires a stable efficient light absorber. Promising candidates in this respect are organometal perovskites (ABX3), which have been intensely investigated during the last years. Here, we have performed electronic structure calculations of 240 perovskites composed of Cs, CH3NH3, and HC(NH2)2 as A-cation, Sn and Pb as B-ion, and a combination of Cl, Br, and I as anions. The calculated gaps span over a region from 0.5 to 5.0 eV. In addition, the trends over bandgaps have been investigated: the bandgap increases with an increase of the electronegativities of the constituent species, while it reduces with an increase of the lattice constants of the system.

Mechanical properties of hybrid organic-inorganic CH3NH3BX3 (B = Sn, Pb; X = Br, I) perovskites for solar cell absorbers2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4885256View Description Hide Description
The crystal structures, elastic and anisotropic properties of CH3NH3BX3 (B = Sn, Pb; X = Br, I) compounds as solar cell absorber layers are investigated by the first-principles calculations. The type and strength of chemical bond B-X are found to determine the elastic properties. B-X bonds and the organic cations are therefore crucial to the functionalities of such absorbers. The bulk, shear, Young's modulus ranges from 12 to 30 GPa, 3 to 12 GPa, and 15 to 37 GPa, respectively. Moreover, the interaction among organic and inorganic ions would have negligible effect for elastic properties. The B/G and Poisson's ratio show it would have a good ductile ability for extensive deformation as a flexible/stretchable layer on the polymer substrate. The main reason is attributed to the low shear modulus of such perovskites. The anisotropic indices AU, AB AG, A1, A2, and A3 show ABX3 perovskite have very strong anisotropy derived from the elastic constants, chemical bonds, and symmetry.
Impact of the organic halide salt on final perovskite composition for photovoltaic applications2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4886275View Description Hide Description
The methylammonium lead halide perovskites have shown significant promise as a low-cost, second generation, photovoltaic material. Despite recent advances, however, there are still a number of fundamental aspects of their formation as well as their physical and electronic behavior that are not well understood. In this letter we explore the mechanism by which these materials crystallize by testing the outcome of each of the reagent halide salts. We find that components of both salts, lead halide and methylammonium halide, are relatively mobile and can be readily exchanged during the crystallization process when the reaction is carried out in solution or in the solid state. We exploit this fact by showing that the perovskite structure is formed even when the lead salt's anion is a non-halide, leading to lower annealing temperature and time requirements for film formation. Studies into these behaviors may ultimately lead to improved processing conditions for photovoltaic films.

Gallium phosphide as a new material for anodically bonded atomic sensors2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4891375View Description Hide Description
Miniaturized atomic sensors are often fabricated using anodic bonding of silicon and borosilicate glass. Here we describe a technique for fabricating anodically bonded alkali-metal cells using GaP and Pyrex. GaP is a non-birefringent semiconductor that is transparent at alkali-metal resonance wavelengths, allowing new sensor geometries. GaP also has a higher thermal conductivity and lower He permeability than borosilicate glass and can be anodically bonded below 200 °C, which can also be advantageous in other vacuum sealing applications.
Enhanced thermoelectric performance of In-substituted GeSb6Te10 with homologous structure2(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893236View Description Hide Description
We studied the crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of polycrystalline GeIn x Sb6−x Te10 (x = 0, 0.18, 0.3, and 0.6). Rietveld and Le Bail analyses showed that all compositions crystallized in trigonal structures with a 51-layer period. Substituting In decreased both the lattice and electronic thermal conductivity, as well as markedly increased the Seebeck coefficient. We ascribed this increase to increases in the effective mass of the carriers, likely caused by the formation of additional energy states near the Fermi level. In GeIn0.6Sb5.4Te10, we found a maximum ZT of 0.75 at 710 K, 1.9 times higher than that of GeSb6Te10.

BOULDER, Colo., July 08, 2014
SolidFire, the leader in all-flash storage systems built for the Next Generation Data Center, today announced that it delivers over twice the operations per second to MongoDB deployments compared to any previously published Yahoo Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) result. For MongoDB workloads, SolidFire enables unmatched performance predictability, management simplicity and scale, helping speed the adoption and optimization of MongoDB deployments in enterprises worldwide.
"SolidFire is the only storage system that combines dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) performance control with the simplicity and scalability delivered in a MongoDB environment," said SolidFire's MongoDB Database Systems Architect Chris Merz. "Running MongoDB on SolidFire's all-flash array unlocks the true architectural flexibility of MongoDB. Admins are no longer shackled to the limitations imposed by traditional storage architectures by having the flexibility to match their MongoDB infrastructure to business needs, rather than the other way around."
The YCSB results across four different workloads demonstrate SolidFire's ability to deliver the predictable performance that organizations expect from their mission-critical databases. The following workloads: update heavy, read mostly, read only, and read latest, were benchmarked in a virtualized MongoDB environment with a SolidFire array as the core storage subsystem. The operations/second were consistently 200-300 percent better than comparable published results.
"Big Data technologies like MongoDB offer a variety of applications, especially Cloud-based applications, to scale their data to previously unaffordable levels while maintaining a high level of performance and agility," said Carl Olofson, research vice president for Database Management and Data Integration software research at IDC. "Such applications are creating ever greater demand for NoSQL database management technology."
"Enterprises choose to deploy NoSQL solutions for a variety of reasons," said SolidFire's Founder and CEO Dave Wright. "Our customers often cite performance, scalability and ease of deployment as key factors in choosing to deploy MongoDB. The YCSB Benchmark demonstrates that utilizing SolidFire's all-flash array with MongoDB allows businesses to achieve their objectives regardless of type of workload."
Ideal for MongoDB's document database, providing high performance, high availability and easy scalability, SolidFire enables you to:
