This was a very clean hotel. My husband and I got to stay in one of their newly renovated room . We loved it. The full deluxe breakfast was great. Front desk staff was very welcoming. Friendly and courteous. I'd highly recommend this hotel to others coming to this area. Even though they are still under renovation you couldnt hear the workers in the rooms

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The birth of a grandchild is a very special time, whether you are a first-time grandparent or you already have many grandchildren. You are likely to feel an enormous amount of pride and love, both for your own child and their partner, as well as their new baby. We'd like to share with you our guide to making your memories and feelings into something tangible to share with all generations. As your grandchild ages, they will cherish knowing they were surrounded by love as they are able to review your thoughts and special times you shared together in their early days.
Read on to learn tips and ideas you can use to celebrate the birth and first months of a new grandchild.
Tip #1: Put Together a Keepsake of Memorabilia
Frame special mementos, possessions and tokens of the baby's first few months.
Ask the baby's parents if you can use a few of the baby's "firsts," such as the newborn cap worn in the hospital, the outfit they wore home, a blanket or spoon -- anything that the parents and baby will enjoy having as keepsakes. Instead of storing these items away, put them in an attractive frame for the baby's parents so they are not lost and can be used as a unique piece of artwork for the baby's room.
Tip # 2: Create a Newspaper Announcement
Make your own front page announcement that highlights the baby's birth.
Put a big banner headline announcing the baby and the proud parents' names. Make your newspaper look as real as possible. All the stories on the front page should highlight anything that the baby might like to know when they are older about their first few months such as how the baby's name was chosen, what you were doing when you learned the baby had arrived, how the baby's immediate family are reacting to the news, and how proud you are to be a new grandparent. Sign off as editor-at-large about your thoughts on your family's special event. Use your computer to create the newspaper front page or take the content to a copy shop and ask them to enlarge it and add graphics if you want it to emulate a news edition.
Tip #3: Make a Time Capsule About You
Create a personal journal of things your grandchild will appreciate knowing someday.
This is a project your grandchild will enjoy when they are a little older and is perfect for grandparents who live far away from their grandchildren. Put together a colorful booklet of a variety of things you'd like to share about you that they might not know. One section could be called "My Faovrite Games Growing Up" -- tell your grandchild how you played (what rule and specifics that made these fun games) red rover, hop scotch, marbles, jacks, and jump rope. Another section might be your five favorite books you hope your grandchild reads or five favorite movies you suggest they rent someday -- and explain why. Once your grandchild is old enough, you could exchange "getting to know you" booklets or letters every once in a while where they could suggest favorite books or movies to you. While their taste will probably differ from yours, talking about something you have both experienced is a great way to bond. Check out the photo books offered on shutterfly.com to see a variety of unique designs available to choose from...

Film Review: Barry Lyndon
29 July 2016 6:11 AM, PDT
★★★★★ Like the protagonist of his film, Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon has risen from humble circumstances, but with a meticulously and glowingly remastered re-release courtesy of the BFI, it looks like the film will be more resilient in the pinnacle it has reached than its unhappy hero. Although, there will be at least one piece in a major newspaper or blog somewhere claiming to despise the film. Such is the way of the world, a weary-sounding Michael Horden might comment.

Venice 2016: 73rd lineup announced
28 July 2016 3:28 AM, PDT
In Rome earlier this morning, Alberto Barbera announced one of the most impressive Venice Film Festival lineups in recent years. With stiff competition from Berlin and the encroaching Toronto - which often sees Venice stripped of its North American journalists mid-week - Venice has had hard times attracting major filmmakers. Without the glitzy market of Cannes and yet an expensive price tag to premiere a film here, Venice has been going through something of an identity crisis. With a series of Oscar-winning premieres in recent years, however, the oldest film festival in the world is ready to bounce back and this year's lineup shows an exciting mix of old masters and up-and-coming talent.

Interview: Pixar's Andrew Stanton and Lindsey Collins
28 July 2016 1:02 AM, PDT
The good folks at Pixar have done it again. Extraordinarily, twelve years have passed since Finding Nemo won hearts and minds all over the world and long-awaited sequel Finding Dory is another sure-fire hit for the peerless production studio. Writer-director Andrew Stanton - who was part of the team to get the Toy Story train rolling, helmed the former film as well as 2008's magical robotic tale Wall-e - and producer Lindsey Collins sat down with CineVue's Matthew Anderson for a chat about Pixar's continued successes.

Film Review: Finding Dory
28 July 2016 1:02 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ Taking a swim down memory lane is a tricky business when you forget things and repeat yourself every few seconds. Finding Dory is as entertaining, soul enriching and bittersweet as any Pixar production to date. Once again striking just the right balance of visual gags, crystalline clear animation, plenty of riotous hijinks both above and below water, and cracking tongue in cheek jokes for older audience members, the peerless animation studio has another success on its hands, or rather its fins. On a more serious note - and in the mould of Up and most recently Inside Out - Finding Dory continues their focus on teaching worthwhile lessons on both the limitations imposed by, and advantages to, certain physical and mental impairments.

Film Review: The Fall
28 July 2016 12:29 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ Success and failure are separated by the finest of margins in all competitive sport, nowhere more so than track and field athletics. British filmmaker Daniel Gordon's enthralling, well-considered and finely-balanced sports doc The Fall takes as its centrifugal starting point an immovable fork in the road. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics the women's 3000m title was, to all intents and purposes, a two horse race. It would be won by either the USA's golden poster girl Mary Decker or Zola Budd, a barefoot-running young pretender of South African origin who had been granted British citizenship only weeks previously in order to compete thanks to political wrangling by the perennially unscrupulous Daily Mail.

Film Review: The Commune
27 July 2016 5:58 AM, PDT
★★☆☆☆ "You lose one another in a big house." Prophetic words from the patriarch at the head of Danish director Thomas Vinterberg's The Commune. In the wake of his father's death, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen) inherits an enormous Copenhagen property and wants to cash in on the million kroner it's worth. His bored wife, Anna (a tremendously restrained Trine Dyrholm), and adolescent daughter, Freya (Martha Sofie Wallstrøm Hansen) are in need of adventure and usher in a new chapter in lives that have become humdrum by inviting a gaggle of others to make home under their expansive roof. "I need to hear other people talk," says Anna.

Film Review: Born to Be Blue
27 July 2016 5:41 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ Joining other films that revel in a bygone era (Inside Llewyn Davis, On the Road et al.), Born to Be Blue is a captivating portrait of the shadowy remains of jazz musician Chet Baker. Anchored by a wistful, wincing Ethan Hawke, this film is well worth the watch. What comes through in every frame is not only loving direction from Robert Budreau but an equally loving script. There's atmosphere, music and a sharp story-within-a-story nesting doll device which helps viewers better grasp Baker. Born to Be Blue shines.

Film Review: Author: The Jt LeRoy Story
27 July 2016 5:28 AM, PDT
★★★☆☆ "A created thing is never invented and it is never true; it is always and ever itself." This quote by Federico Fellini kicks off Jeff Feuerzeig's stranger-than-fiction yarn Author: The Jt LeRoy Story - and it's the perfect way to do so. Not only does it address the elusive nature of a creation, but it equally prepares the audience for a work steeped in the ambiguity, opacity and unreliable narration of the masterful Italian auteur. However, it distinctly lacks the same kind of transcendent clarity of vision, proving to be as fractured and nebulous as its subject matter - hardly surprising given that this the story is told by its protagonist.

Film Review: The Bfg
26 July 2016 5:44 AM, PDT
★★★☆☆ Steven Spielberg returns to cinema screens this week with an adaptation of Roald Dahl's much-loved children's book The Bfg, and the film is an old-fashioned children's movie of sorts. Forget Pixar's mutton dressed as lamb: The Bfg eschews any nods and winks to mum and dad - except for some humour late on - and instead translates Dahl's fable to the screen with respect and invention. We begin in a twilight London's as Sophie (Ruby Barnhill), an insomniac and precocious young girl, prowls the orphanage while the other children sleep, sorting the mail and enjoying the run of the place.

Film Review: Jason Bourne
26 July 2016 12:40 AM, PDT
★★★☆☆ When The Bourne Ultimatum was released in 2007, star Matt Damon felt that the story of his amnesiac-assassin protagonist had been told. "The story of this guy's search for his identity is over" he said, before stating that only a reconfiguration of the character at some future point could persuade him to return. So to 2016 and Jason Bourne, the fourth instalment in this particular hero's saga (excluding spin-off sequel The Bourne Legacy), in which things have slightly changed, but not all that much. The popular killing-machine must go on another covert and pulse-raising search for another missing piece of his psychological jigsaw.

Film Review: Ming of Harlem
25 July 2016 6:21 AM, PDT
★★☆☆☆ Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air could have been a stellar documentary given its subject. Alas, it's not. The film's principle voice - and limited success - lies with the eminently watchable, animal-loving Antoine Yates, who, in 2003, was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment for housing a Bengal tiger (Ming) and alligator (named Al) in his spacious twenty-first floor Harlem apartment. The presence of said predators only came to light when Ming took a fancy to, and chomped down on, his master's leg and a 911 call had to be made. It is a story that sounds almost too bizarre for fiction, let alone a factual expose.

DVD Review: Zootropolis
25 July 2016 3:19 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ Zootropolis is an absolute delight from first to last. With the kind of thought-provoking depth as seen in Inside Out, albeit not quite as emotionally stirring, it is packed full of charm, a riveting adventure and a number of valuable lessons for humankind by way of the animal kingdom. It is a triumphant, big-hearted return for Disney after the colossal commercial success of Frozen. Front and centre is the intrepid, resolute and fearless rabbit, Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin). Determined from a young age to become the first of her kind to make the police force, she becomes the city's newest recruit alongside her more fearsome colleagues.

DVD Review: Poor Cow
25 July 2016 3:08 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ 1967 was the year of Carry On Doctor, Quatermass and the Pit and two James Bond movies. It also saw the feature debut of acclaimed television director Kenneth Loach with Poor Cow, starring Terence Stamp, fresh from his first brush of Hollywood fame and Carol White, who had starred in the television drama Cathy Comes Home that had propelled both its star and director into the national limelight. Based on Nell Dunn's novel - Loach had used her work before in another Wednesday Play Up the Junction - Poor Cow tells the story of Joy (White), a working class young mother whose progress through life seems beset with woes.

DVD Review: Play On! Shakespeare in Silent Film
25 July 2016 2:53 AM, PDT
★★★★☆ In the ten-minute intro to Play On! Shakespeare in Silent Film, we're told that between 1899 and 1927 roughly 250-300 silent films were produced based on William Shakespeare's plays. Why so many wordless productions for history's greatest man of words? Yet the value of these early silents is delivering another perspective on the plays to discover. Marking the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, the BFI can naturally only include a certain amount of the films on one DVD, and even then they wisely don't leave viewers to guess at the films' significance by themselves.

Criterion Review: Dr. Strangelove
25 July 2016 12:57 AM, PDT
★★★★★ The premise of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 unassailable Cold War satire, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is deceptively simple: Russia and the Us, deadlocked in the threat of mutually-assured- destruction, are a hair's breadth away from obliterating each other in a nuclear holocaust. What could possibly go wrong? The answer lies in the brilliantly insane Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) who, his mind addled with conspiracy theories of Russians (and women) stealing his precious bodily fluids, has decided unilaterally to kick off World War III by sending orders to attack Russia.

Andrews Attorney-Waters, Roditi, Schwartz & Nissen [57] ABSTRACT An electrode for electrochemical reduction of oxygen in an alkaline electrolyte and a process for the production of such electrode, comprising moulding a powder mixture containing as catalyst materials for activating oxygen conversion at least two of the metals nickel, cobalt, iron and manganese and active carbon and sintering the particles of the powder mixture to form an electrode body thereof containing non-stoichiometric mixed carbides.
12 Claims, No Drawings ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF OXYGEN AND PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION This invention relates to an electrode for the electrochemical reduction of oxygen and a process for the production of such electrode.
It is known to use for the reduction of oxygen a porous electrode body to which oxygen is continuously fed from the gas side.
It is further known that various catalysts promote electrochemical conversion of oxygen especially at the three-phase limit between electron conductor, oxygen gas and electrolyte. These catalysts permit obtaining technically useful current densities so that such oxygen electrodes provided with a catalyst are being used as the positive electrode in fuel cells with a suitable fuel electrode as the negative electrode. But oxygen electrodes can also be advantageously used as the positive electrode in a voltaic cell in which the negative electrode is formed of an electrode capable of being recharged electrochemically as is common in storage batteries.
As oxygen reduction takes place at a relatively high positive potential the electrode material must be resistant to corrosion by the electrolyte used.
The catalysts best known for electrochemical reduction of oxygen are platinum and silver which are finely distributed in a porous electrode body. Often activated carbon is used as a support material for the catalyst and in many cases such activated carbon is pressed into a metal grid to improve the mechanical strength and the conductivity of the electrode.
For technical use of oxygen electrodes a working life of about 10,000 working hours is required. But even the most efficient known catalysts such as platinum and silver only meet this requirement when they are present in substantial concentrations in the oxygen electrode. This again increases the cost in relation to the electric power produced to the extent of rendering economically disadvantageous the use of oxygen electrodes with such noble metal catalysts for most technical applications in which higher power is required.
Therefore, for oxygen reduction other catalysts have already been proposed which do not contain any noble metal. Thus, for example, recently it has been proposed to use metal chelates such as iron phthalocyanine as catalysts. But they are stable only in an acid environment. Further, their electrocatalytical activity necessitates the presence of a metal support substrate and the best results have been obtained with a gold substrate.
Also mixed oxides such as spinel, chromite, ferrite, cobaltite, manganite, vanadate as well 'as tungsten bronzes have been proposed as catalysts. Although these substances are relatively inexpensive and also resistant to corrosion their use has not been adopted generally because hitherto it has not been possible to satisfactorily reproduce their electrochemical activity.
It has further been proposed to use as catalyst materials instead of the expensive platinum, the borides, silicides, carbides and/or nitrides of one or more transition metal of the secondary groups IV to VIII of the periodic system of elements. According to this proposal, for the formation of these catalysts an easily vaporizable boron, silicon, carbon and/or nitrogen compound has been caused to react with an easily vaporizable compound of one or more of said transition metals in a re ducing atmosphere at a sufficiently high temperature on the surface of a porous electrode body. This method has the drawback that, depending on the composition of the gaseous phase and particularly the local gas concentrations found in the pores of the electrode body, as well as the temperature, the boride, carbide, nitride and/or silicide thus formed has very different compositions. Therefore, the catalytic properties of these compounds cannot be reproduced, either, in a simple and definite manner. Further, only small amounts of catalyst are formed in the pores and only by repeating the production process several times can a sufficient concentration of catalyst on the surface of the pores be obtained.
Moreover, some of the compounds known as catalysts from this proposal cannot be obtained in the manner described as they are not stable at the temperature occurring in their production. This is the case, for ex' ample, with the nickel and cobalt carbides which, as is known, decompose into their components nickel and carbon even at 575F., i.e., far below the temperature of the intended reaction in the gaseous phase.
In practice it has been found necessary to use catalytically effective substances having :a very high chemical and physical stability as even a low solubility or slight corrosion of the catalyst in the electrolyte, due to the generally very small amount of catalyst present, will entail an immediate decrease of the electrochemical efficiency of the electrode. However, with the strongly positive potential characteristic for an oxygen electrode, the resistance to corrosion of most pure carbides or nitrides in alkaline electrolytes is not sufficient to obtain a working life useful from a technical point of view. In these compounds the lattice structure is wider than in the pure generally stable metal. This causes a reduction of the activating energy necessary for separating the metal atoms from the crystal lattice and a decrease of the resistance to corrosion.
It is the object of the present invention to provide an electrode free from noble metals for electrochemical oxygen reduction in alkaline electrolytes, which does not have the defects pointed out above and moreover can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner.
The invention provides an electrode for electrochemical reduction of oxygen in an alkaline electrolyte,
comprising a porous electrode body containing a catalyst material for activating oxygen conversion and consisting mainly of a non-stoichiometric mixed carbide, poor in oxygen, of at least two of the metals nickel, cobalt, iron and manganese. I
Such non-stoichiometric mixed carbides, i.e., mixtures of carbides of different metals of the group indicated, as well as alloy carbides, i.e., carbides of different alloying phases of these metals, have proved to be particularly efficient for electrochemical oxygen reduction. Moreover, experience has shown that these carbides of two or more of the mentioned metals are very resistant to corrosion in alkaline electrolytes with the high positive potential of the oxygen electrodes and therefore are particularly suitable as catalyst material for oxygen reduction in continuous operation.
Further, such catalyst material can be relatively easily produced at low cost in technically sufficient quantities and reproducible in defined compositions when it is produced by a topochemical reaction which is easy to carry out.
The invention also concerns a process for the production of such an electrode. This process is characterized in that a powder mixture containing at least two of said metals as well as carbon are moulded into an electrode body of the desired shape and that the particles of the mixture are sintered under vacuum or in an inert atmosphere to form a porous sintered electrode body and produce a non-stoichiometric mixed or alloy carbide poor in oxygen by topochemical reaction between the particles of the mixture.
The said metals may be present in the mixture in pure or alloyed form or in the form of a compound, for example, as a metal hydride. The powder mixture also preferably contains from 5 to percent by weight of carbon powder preferably formed of activated carbon having a large BET-surface (about 116 sq.yds/grain). In this respect, activated carbon of vegetable origin is better than other activated carbon, for example, such of animal origin.
The use of an aqueous suspension of the powder mixture together with a thickening agent, for example methylcellulose, has proved particularly suitable for the preparation of the powder mixture before sintering and its moulding into the desired shape of an electrode body.
The said topochemical reaction between the particles of the powder mixture essentially consists in a physical solution of the carbon on the surface of the metal or alloy particles. As will be explained hereinafter, the conditions of sintering and subsequent cooling affect the catalytic properties of the electrode.
To achieve a long working life of the electrode it is important to provide efficient hydrophobic qualities on the gas side. In the process according to the invention this can preferably, be accomplished by the application of an appropriate organic hydrophobic base layer and subsequent application under pressure of a porous hydrophobic membrane. It has been found that the adhesion of this hydrophobic base layer on the catalyst according to the invention is particularly good. By heating the electrode body almost up to the melting point of the organic substance the adhesion of the hydrophobic base layer on the electrode material can be increased. Thus simultaneously a tempering takes place which increases the activity of the catalyst and its resistance to corrosion. Thus a double effect is obtained by this heating of the electrode body in the application of the hydrophobic base layer so that this step is of particular advantage for the production of highly active and very durable oxygen electrodes.
In the conventional carbide electrodes for oxygen conversion, catalytic activity is mainly due to defects in the lattice structure caused by gas reaction or sintering in the electrode production. However, with the non-stoichiometric mixed or alloy carbides provided according to the invention such lattice defects are of little importance and may be undesirable. In fact, here the catalytic properties are due mainly to the particular configuration of the electrons of the non-stoichiometric mixed or alloy carbides. As a matter of fact, in cooling of the electrode body after sintering, lattice defects may be eliminated by tempering. Simultaneously the inner surface area of the catalyst decreases as has been confirmed by measurements carried out according to the known BET-method. Such elimination of lattice defects by tempering also produces an increased resistance of the carbides to corrosion.
The non-stoichiometric mixed or alloy carbides provided according to the invention may be represented by the following formula:
( a, b)3( )u wherein M is a relatively stable base metal of said metals, for example, nickel;
M is a supplementary one of said metals, whose share in the mixture is such that M, still determines the lattice structure, and
y may be present in an amount between 0.4 and 0.9 to ensure that understoichiometric mixed or alloy carbides are obtained.
Because of the relatively low carbon content of the understoichiometric mixed or alloy carbides there is less lattice widening and thus the structure of the catalyst is more similar to that of the stable base metal (M), for example nickel. Further, the production process of the invention leaves the catalyst with a very low oxygen content with a corresponding improvement of the catalytic properties of the catalyst.
The catalytic activity of the electrode produced according to the invention substantially corresponds to that of conventional electrodes having platinum as a catalyst. The tempering of the catalyst in the course of cooling after sintering, which is carried out at temperatures at which the carbides of said metals do not yet decompose (575F. has proved to be particularly advantageous for the activity and resistance of the catalyst to corrosion.
it is to be understood that the electrode body apart from the above-mentioned metals may also contain other supplementary metals such as copper.
If desired, nitrogen may also be present in small amounts in the non-stoichiometric mixed or alloy carbide in addition to carbon.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the following examples showing how it may be carried out.
EXAMPLE 1 8 parts by weight of nickel powder with a medium grain size of about 0.1 18 mils are mixed with 5 parts by weight of cobalt powder with a medium grain size of about 0.118 mils and with 1 part by weight of carbon powder formed of activated carbon of vegetable origin with a BET-surface of more than 128 sq.yds./grain and a medium grain size of about 0.393 mils. The mixture is worked with 50 parts by weight of water, containing 1 part by weight of methylcellulose, into a homogeneous suspension which is uniformly sprayed with a spray gun onto the two sides of a support of fine nickel fabric the meshes of which have a width of 3.031 mils. In spraying the support is heated by means of a heated bed to 230 1' 9F. so that the water will immediately vaporize when the suspension hits the support.
When about 8.4 grains of dry material have been ap' plied to the support per square inch of outside surface of the electrode, the resulting crude electrode body is subjected to sintering for 1 hour at 1634F. in an argon atmoshphere to decompose the methylcellulose and then the electrode body is cooled.
A topochemical reaction takes place between the nickel or cobalt particles, on the one hand, and the carbon powder particles, on the other hand, to form a mixed carbide. In this manner an electrode body in the form of a porous sintered body is obtained which contains the catalyst material in the form of a mixed carbide of nickel and cobalt of a predetermined composi' tion with the mixed carbide uniformly distributed over the entire electrode structure.
Subsequently the sintered electrode body is rendered hydrophobic or water-repellent on one side by spraying with a suspension of polytetrafluoroethylene particles (Teflon), for example, a commercially available 30 N Teflon suspension produced by Du Pont de Nemours. During the spraying operation the sintered body is placed on a heated support so that the liquid phase of the suspension will vaporize on hitting the electrode body. Then to the side of the electrode rendered hydrophobic a thin porous membrane of commercially available Teflon having a medium pore diameter of 0.393 mils and a predetermined porosity of about 70 percent is applied under a pressure of 4580 lbs./sq.in. Finally, by sintering at 626F. under vacuum or a protective gas the applied Teflon is secured to the electrode body.
Polarization measurements effected on this electrode according to the known half-cell method in a 30 percent potassium hydroxide solution at 77F. and 0.01 atm. (0.142 lbs./sq.in.) above atmospheric pressure have produced the following results:
Potential against Hg/HgO Current density (in volts) (in mA/sg.in.) .10 325 0.135 900 0.150 1430 EXAMPLE 2 18 parts by weight of nickel powder (medium grain size 0.118 mils), 12 parts by weight of cobalt powder (medium grain size 0.118 mils), and two parts by weight of activated carbon powder (medium grain size 0.393 mils) are mixed with 80 parts by weight of water containing 2 parts by weight of methylcellulose to prepare a suspension which, as described in Example 1, is sprayed uniformly on the two sides of a heated fine mesh nickel fabric. The resulting blank is subsequently sintered for 30 minutes in an argon atmosphere at a sintering temperature of 1544F. i 18F. After sintering the electrode is rendered hydrophobic as described above. The results of measurements effected during operation as an air oxygen electrode were substantially the same as in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 3 15 parts by weight of nickel powder (medium grain size about 0.1 18 mils) are mixed with 5 parts by weight of cobalt powder (medium grain size 0.1 18 mils) and with 1 part by weight of carbon powder of the type used in Example 1.
As described in Example 1, this mixture is then worked into a sprayable suspension and applied to a heated fine mesh nickel fabric. By sintering at 1778F. in argon for 1 hour and subsequent cooling a sintered electrode body is obtained which contains as a catalyst an understoichiometric mixed carbide of nickel and cobalt with a carbon deficiency of about 23 percent. The further treatment of the electrode body (to render it hydrophobic) is the same as described in Example 1.
The resulting electrode in operation as an air oxygen electrode under the same conditions as set forth in Example 1 has about the same dependence of the polarization on current density.
EXAMPLE 4 A powder mixture formed of 12 parts by weight of nickel powder (medium grain size 0.1 18 mils), 3 parts by weight of manganese powder (medium grain size 0.118 mils) and 1 part by weight of activated carbon powder are worked into a crude electrode body as described in Example 1 using a fine mesh fabric (mesh width 3.15 mils) of stainless steel as a support.
Then the electrode body is sintered under vacuum for 30 minutes at 1652F. and subsequently cooled to produce within the electrode body an electrochemically active understoichiometric mixed carbide of manganese and nickel. After sintering the electrode body is rendered hydrophobic as described in Example 1 and the hydrophobic electrode body in operation as an air oxygen electrode provides measurement results similar to those in Example 1.
The aforedescribed use of a metal fabric as a support for the electrode material is of advantage as this both facilitates the production of the electrode and imparts increased mechanical strength and electronic conductivity to the finished electrode.
Instead of polytetrafluoroethylene other hydrophobic hydrocarbons may also be used. Thus, for example, polyethylene of medium chain length is particularly suitable for rendering the electrode hydrophobic.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof; The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.

Is there a list of SO-people currently online?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I think if there were a list of SO people online then it would be a short step away from asking to contact them, friend them, follow them, whatever them ... and we all know where that goes, it becomes social networking.
There are details on getting in touch with SO users interested in social networking on SO - is that any help?
I would find it quite interesting, just a little discreet thing saying "23k users online" somewhere.. I think it's a nice idea
Nowadays you can use the chat for a similar functionality. Look for it at the bottom of the specific site.

The national average has increased 27.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 44.0 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on March 21 in Georgia have ranged widely over the last five years:
$2.22/g in 2015, $3.37/g in 2014, $3.54/g in 2013, $3.74/g in 2012 and $3.42/g in 2011.
Areas nearby Georgia and their current gas price climate:
Augusta- $1.85/g, up 5.6 cents per gallon from last week's $1.79/g.
Macon- $1.84/g, up 0.4 cents per gallon from last week's $1.84/g.
Atlanta- $1.98/g, up 8.5 cents per gallon from last week's $1.90/g.
"With the U.S. average price of gas closing in on the $2 level, a price not seen since late December, it reflects a real paradox; we see simultaneously both a stark increase --25 cents per gal. in the past few weeks-- and a reminder of how much we're still saving," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. "Even with the anticipated rise in retail prices to accommodate 'summer blend' gasoline regulations, and even with a 54% increase in crude oil from $26 to $40 for the benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the national average price of gas today remains some 45 cents lower than where we were exactly one year ago."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Tresanton St Mawes
We visited the hotel in July 2003 as we had a wedding to attend in st Mawes. Stepping into our room I was overcome by a very musty smell as if the room hadn't been aired or used in a long time. Looking out at the beautiful scenery, we stepped outside unto the terrace only to be tangled up in overgrown weeds. We contacted reception who sent someone up to cut them back, so we had to enjoy the scenery from inside the room. That evening we dined in their restaurant only to have to eat our meal with smoke bellowing around us from their blocked chimney, but we did get a glass of champagne as compensation!! On checking out we pointed out our problems only to be told "Oh sorry about that Sir! nothing else. When we got home we wrote to the manager and were refunded the money for the meal. We actually find it strange that it seems to held in such high regard, all I can say is 'Don't believe the hype'.
Expensive but pretty impressive
Stayed here in Spring, 2004 and liked it a lot. The room that we had was very spacious and the weather helped in that it was really warm and sunny and we had the view out to the bay from both the room and the terrace.
Couldn't really fault this hotel other than the price you have to pay for it - it's pretty expensive however you look at it.
The only thing I'd say is that whilst the food at Dinner was good it wasn't amazing - had much better food at Percy's.
The best hotel in the UK
Due to the nature of my business I have now stayed in almost every decent hotel in the UK and Tresanton is by far my favourite- it is the highlight of my regular trips over to England. The food is as good as I have eaten and the cocktails in the bar are up their with those in the top bars of London and New York.
Will give it a try
Only came here for dinner, as we were staying at the excellent Driftwood nearby (when we booked it was a tight decision between the two). From an evening in the hotel, I will definately come back and stay. The location is lovely , straight on the sea, and all communal areas are impressive.
We couldnt get a taxi back to our hotel, so the restaurant manager gave us a lift. Little touches of added service like this will ensure that I return for longer.
A treat, but certainly worth it. A luxury hotel, which is beautifully decorated. Staff very attentive. Food excellent. Definitely going back.
Im a little baffled by some of the posts here. This place is fantastic in every way. The rooms (ive stayed in ) are superb. Make sure you go for 5,6 or 7. 6 & 7 have their own private balconies.The food is great, there not a great deal of choice however they do rely on locally caught seafood so there is an ever changing menu.The Victory Pub is to be avoided in my opinion, I like nothing better than a decent boozer but the food is so expensive - Over �10 for any Main and for a pub this really is too much.The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and there is never a feeling of 'is that going to cost me a fortune' that you get at some luxury hotels - such as Blake's in Amsterdam for instance.The last stay (2003 August Bank Holiday) was my Birthday and my Mother had pre-ordered a Bottle of Wine for me for Dinner along with a Card some weeks before. When I had arrived they phoned my Mother (without my knowledege) and let her know that myself and my girlfriend had arrived safely and were in good hands! Very nice touch even if I am in my late 20's!!The Rooms are expensive but the experience is priceless. Ive been there 3 times and am going again next August. A recent stay there last weekend cost �800 for 2 people including Dinner/Breakfast and all drinks etc...The area is stunning and St Mawes is probably the nicest Village in Cornwall. If you want a change from the view/hotel pop to the Pandora Inn pub in Mylor - much better than the Victory Inn in a lovely location.The Tresanton is the best hotel Ive been to in the World.
Overhyped and overpriced !
I can only agree with the rather more negative reviews of the hotel tresanton. Certainly the room that we stayed in could best be described as poky. If you decide to go, be sure to ask which room they intend to allocate. Beware rooms 17-21 are all very small and if the weather is hot which it was when we visited they get very warm indeed as there is no airconditioning. The setting of the hotel is beautiful and the service is good but I still think that they rely a little too much on their trendy reputation, and that the actual experience is not worth the money. The food in the restaurant is very average and horribly overpriced. The best advice I can give anyone whoo intends to stay here is to avoid it completely and eat at the Victory Inn in St Mawes which does possibly the best seafood we had ever tasted for about half the price
A Good Attempt!
The Tresanton is a good attempt at making Cornwall 'trendy'. It occupies a wonderful site in the very picturesque cornish fishing village of St Mawes and is only a 5-hour trip from London by car or train.As such, the many of the guests are from London looking for a chic weekend getaway and as London is the main market, we expected it to be a little 'chicer' than it actually was.In terms of UK standards, the hotel is good, but in terms of Far East standards it is a bit shabby around the edges...everything is relative but �225 ($340) per room per night (including breakfast) is not cheap by any standards.The hotel is comfortable. It has a wonderful cosy lounge with a roaring log fire and quirky decor, with artifacts from around the world and funky stingray shaped lights. There is a downstairs bar which is as modern and trendy (also with a cosy lounge area).The whole of the hotel (except the restaurant) has seagrass matting on the floor, which works well in the public areas but is uncomfortable in the bedrooms (too trendy perhaps?)The rooms are good, but not fantastic. There are some in the main building and some further up the hill in an annexe, where the sea views are better from a small balcony but where space is more limited. The rooms are simply furnished with no tea/coffee making facilities, no hairdryer and no iron. The plumbing is 'eccentric English' and plays wonderful tunes throughout the night. Although the shower and bath are good, the taps in our basin did not work properly, another small niggle. The rooms are noisy and it is easy to hear those staying next door and upstairs! There needs to be more attention to detail.The staff at reception and those dealing with baggage/valet parking etc are very good, friendly and willing to deal with any query.The restaurant occupies prime location on the first floor and in the summer spills out onto a wonderful terrace with a distinct nautical feel and fantastic views over the Fal Estuary. The food is well presented but 'average'. The supervisory staff are excellent (especially the Scottish Lady), but on her day off, things fall apart and the service becomes very erratic from the mixture of nationalities serving the tables.Despite the tables in the restaurant being small and closely packed in, the candle-lit ambiance is very romantic. However the food has tinges of 'big hotel catering' about it...it tries to be modern and funky, but doesn't quite get there. Orders are mixed up, food arrives on cold plates and it is all a bit more stressful than it should be for a fixed price of �34 ($51) per person. A seafoof risotto appetiser was excellent with scallops cooked to perfection but served on a cold plate. John Dory as a main course was good, but the dish was overcooked and swimming in butter. Calves liver was served on mashed potato, but with insufficient gravy. The cheese selection was meagre and the types of cheese offered were poor..such a shame when England (and Cornwall) produces some of the best cheeses in the world.The food and service does not come up to the standard that weekending Londoners would expect for the price they are paying (Olga Polizzi, the owner should take note!).The wine list is good, if a bit quirky, but markups are high. On our second evening, we strolled into the village to the Rising Sun pub/restaurant and enjoyed an equally good, if not better meal, with superior service.Breakfast however is excellent, with a good choice of buffet items and a good a la carte selection including full English Breakfast, scambled egg with smoked salmon, field mushrooms on toast, kippers, choice of eggs etc etc, all served with lashings of coffee and toast and marmelade.....excellent!Altogether, this is a good hotel and provides for an enjoyable stay, but a two night stay out of season (early March) cost �500 ($750) for the two of us (including one night's dinner)........quite a hefty bill!Very nice, but over-hyped would be our verdict!
Well we loved Hotel Tresanton!
I was so surprised to read the review of a guest who had stayed at Tresanton as we have just returned from a fabulous weekend at the same hotel. Unlike the other guest, I recognised many of the objets in the hotel to be from local and nationally recognised artists - the furniture is as comfortable as one could wish for, the style as good as the hype, all rooms have been decorated with the ambience in mind. The bar was quiet when we visited but certaintly nothing wrong with it - the plumbing was fine on our visit and the food excellent. The staff were charming and really made the visit for us - we will return! The style of Tresanton does not suit everyone but if you like it, you'll go back again and again.
A taste of Cornwall
A great deal of money and effort has been invested in the Tresanton Hotel to provide a very specific and "tasteful" environment. While the restaurant has a minimalist Mediterranean feel, the rest of the hotel is very "British" country style. Bedrooms and lounges are adorned with a variety of seemingly second hand furniture. They are not antiques - just old fashioned. The emphasis is on style rather than comfort or practicality. The beds are comfortable, but we were surprised to find that the "second hand" style extended to a hole in the bed linen! It is unfortunate that the style continues into the bathroom. It imitates the plumbing of the days before decent showerheads and mixer taps. So when washing your hands you either scald yourself or use cold water. An inadequate hot towel rail provides bathroom heating so that you get goose pimples on exiting the shower or bath. And the mirrors all steam up and have to be cleaned before you can see yourself to shave or comb hair.
The kitchen is excellent and we were not disappointed with any dish. Dinner is a fixed three-course affair. But what comes is first class. Whether the �30 charge is appropriate in provincial UK another matter. The staff are mainly young and enthusiastic. They provide good service without being obtrusive. They have great skill in fitting glasses, plates, bread condiments, wine etc onto the stupidly small dining tables. There is rumoured to be a cinema in the hotel but we never found it. The bar has all the charm of a British railway station buffet and is best avoided.
At �235 per night for bed and breakfast the Tresanton is an expensive way for a couple to see how the British relax by the sea.

The Eden Project and the Lost Garden of Heligan
Hello there.
We left The Rudloe Arms and hit the misty highway to head south into the heart of the West Country: Cornwall. We'd heard about the Eden Project for years and seeing as though we were down this way it was a no-brainer.

A bit of a blah day but only because I suffered from heart burn half the night and was a bit washed out in the morning. A day to do the washing and pack our bags.

I was a guest at Commodore Inn for 45 days. The staff is fantastic. Maggie is the best manager I have ever seen at a hotel. She is on top of everything and provides over the top service that you would expect but never get from a hotel like the Marriot or The Hilton. The area is great, although at night on weekends it can be a little noisy. There are movie theaters, restaurants, and small stores throughout the neighborhood. As for the rooms the free Internet was great!! The kitchen was very useful and having a wash machine and dryer in the room made life much easier. Free HBO and cable too!! The only suggestion or change I would make is updating the TV's in the room to flat pannel hi-def. Over all I enjoyed my experience and I hope to return to the Grove and Commodore Inn for a visit someday. Thank you Maggie and crew!!

Jesús doesn't read well. I sit with him on a Tuesday afternoon as he slowly works his way though the week's catechism lesson. When he comes to his namesake in the text, he always says "Christ" instead of Jesus. When I correct him, he stops and stares at the page. "I can't believe I missed it again," he says.
Jesús is a small and quiet man. He is kind and slow to anger. No one would guess that he was convicted of murder. Before his confirmation last Easter, Jesús worried that he "wasn't ready." As we read together one afternoon, he looked at me so directly that I was momentarily taken aback. "Can I ask you something?" he said. "Of course," I answered. "Do you think I'm worthy enough to be confirmed?" "More than you know," I replied.
Jesús is haunted by a terrible childhood. He and I have attended Bible study together long enough for me to know some of the wounds he bears. Like so many others here, he was abused and neglected by parents who must have been incapable of caring for themselves, much less their children. It is incomprehensible to him that his mother kept his brothers and sisters but abandoned him. He was shunted off to foster homes, where he suffered even worse abuse. He sometimes tries to express his pain, his sense of betrayal, but he can't get it out. It's too much. He shakes his head, drops his gaze, and retreats into silence, mumbling, "It's not important." Jesús never knew...

Ever since the hit television show Sons of Anarchy came roaring into my life, I have been fascinated with MC culture. Obviously, I'm not the only one. Suddenly, the image of what a biker used to look like has a new face. Not all bikers must have long grizzly beards, fat beer bellies, and smell as if they haven't bathed in days. SOA helped reinvent the biker image and has given many authors inspiration to write about motorcycle clubs. While these hardened men may have the tats and sport a beard, underneath the leather cut is hot, sculpted muscle. I recently took a break from reading MC romance, mainly because the genre had become oversaturated with the same old story lines. It almost seemed like authors were trying to purposely make their novels more edgy, more twisted as if that is the key to writing a successful romance now. Anyway, I found myself getting irritated, so I decided to turn my attentions to something else for a bit. Then I came across the yummy cover for Severed Angel by K.T. Fisher and Ava Manello. Was it a book about angels? Demons? Imagine my surprise when I read the blurb and realized it was going to be a book about an Australian MC. That caught my interest and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give this one a shot.
So here are some of the things I enjoyed about Severed Angel. As much as I wanted to give one whole star just for the drool worthy eye candy on the front cover, I was obviously looking for something different in the overall story and plot and thankfully the authors delivered the goods. First, you have Eve, a British girl who is traveling to Australia to visit her best friend, Teresa, who she hasn't seen in years and to participate in her wedding.Read more ›
What happens when a girl who wants excitement in her life meets a biker who doesn't want love in his?
TROUBLE. Eve thought she was going to spend some time with her childhood best friend and be the maid of honor in the wedding. What she didn't expect was to turn the wrong way and end up in the middle of mayhem.
Angel had no intention of getting involved with his President's soon to be wife's best friend. He was content getting his satisfaction with the clubhouse girls. However, when he is sent to pick up Eve at a convenient store in the wrong town he cannot help being attracted to her.
Eve has brought tension to the Severed MC. She didn't mean to do it but she did. She is now locked down in a clubhouse in an environment she has only read about in books. She is also trying to fight a growing attraction to the club's VP, Angel.
Tension is high as the Severed MC tries to keep everyone safe from the cross town rivals, Carnal MC. This is weighing on Angel because his brother is the VP over there....and Satan is one mean biker.....
Follow Eve as she learns about life in the MC. Watch as Angel deals with demons from the past to come to terms with his feelings in the present.
This book has love, lust, detailed sex scenes, murder, loss, anger, and hate...
Side note---I enjoyed Chapter 15 the most.....
One click this book today. It is a great MC book....
Now she is being hunted by the rival MC as she is an eyewitness to the crime. Complicating things further, she falls for the Severed MC's VP, Angel. Angel is the twin brother of the guy currently hunting her, Satan. See, it's complicated.
This book was hard for me to get into, and had some big inconsistencies. Such as, five years ago Satan raped and tortured Angel's wife then sent the video of it happening to Angel. Angel came home after receiving the video to find his wife killed herself. But the guy is still alive and well? Angel didn't seem to be too hung up on this either. Satan does this again to a club whore and dumps her body outside the Severed clubhouse. This happens as the MC is trying to come up with a plan to get law enforcement to arrest Satan so Eve can be safe. Hello? How about turn over the dead whore and the video of Satan doing it?!
Anyways, it did manage to pull out a little better ending- but it was a cliffhanger. Not too sure I will be continuing with the series. I did t connect with the characters, they were pretty flat and undeveloped.
