The present invention relates to a zeolite material, hereinafter referred to as zeolite EU-1, to a method of making it and to processes using it as a catalyst.
According to the present invention we provide zeolite EU-1 having a molar composition expressed by the formula:
0.5 to 1.5 R2 O:Y2 O3 :at least 10 XO2 :0 to 100 H2 O
wherein R is a monovalent cation or 1/n of a cation of valency n, X is silicon and/or germanium, Y is one or more of aluminium, iron, gallium or boron, and H2 O is water of hydration additional to water notionally present when R is H, and having an X-ray pattern substantially as set out in Tables 1 and 2 (as determined by standard technique using copper Kα radiation). Table 1 shows X-ray data for zeolite EU-1 as prepared, and Table 2 shows X-ray data for zeolite EU-1 in the calcined Na-H form. The X-ray pattern is little affected by the type of cation present.

Within the above definition of chemical composition, the number of moles of XO2 is typically in the range 10 to 500 and zeolite EU-1 appears to be most readily formed in a state of high purity when the number of moles of XO2 is in the range 20 to 300.
This definition includes both freshly prepared zeolite EU-1 ("freshly prepared" means the product of synthesis and washing, with optional drying, as hereinafter described) and also forms of it resulting from dehydration, and/or calcination, and/or ion exchange. In freshly prepared zeolite EU-1, R may include an alkali metal cation; especially sodium, and/or ammonium, and usually or when prepared from alkylated nitrogen compounds, includes nitrogen-containing organic cations as described below or cationic degradation products thereof, or precursors thereof. These nitrogen containing cations are hereinafter referred to as Q.
The freshly prepared zeolite EU-1 may also contain nitrogen-containing compounds well in excess of the 1.5 moles set out in the aforesaid definition of the composition of zeolite EU-1, typically in the range 0.1 to 20 moles per mole of Y2 O3. Since EU-1 is a zeolite, the excess nitrogen-containing base must be physically trapped within the crystal lattice, because it is too large to escape. It can only be removed by thermal or oxidative degradation. This physically trapped basic material does not constitute part of the composition for the purposes of the definition. Thus a zeolite EU-1 as made typically has the following molar composition:
0 to 0.8 M2 O:0.1 to 20 Q:Y2 O3 :10 to 500 XO2 :0 to 100 H2 O
wherein M is an alkali metal or ammonium, and M2 O+Q≧1.0
The H2 O content of freshly prepared zeolite EU-1 depends on the conditions in which it has been dried after synthesis.
In calcined forms of zeolite EU-1, R may be alkali metal but includes less or no nitrogen-containing organic compounds, since these are burnt out in the presence of air, leaving hydrogen as the other balancing cation.
Among the ion-exchanged forms of zeolite EU-1 the ammonium (NH4 +) is of importance since it can be readily converted to the hydrogen form by calcination. The hydrogen form can also be prepared directly by exchange with an acid. The hydrogen-form and forms containing metals introduced by ion exchange are described further below.
We believe that zeolite EU-1 is similar to the ZSM-23 family of zeolites (as described for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,076,842, although our attempts to make ZSM-23 in accordance with this and other published descriptions have so far been unsuccessful). An analogy can be drawn with the relationship between the aforesaid ZSM-23 family of zeolites and the ZSM-5/ZSM-11 family of zeolites (as described, for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,702,886 and 3,709,979; and in Nature, 1978, 275, 119), which from the literature appear to have similar X-ray diffraction data, but in fact have related, but significantly different, three dimensional frameworks.
Zeolite EU-1 has molecular sieve properties analogous to those of known zeolites. Thus zeolite EU-1 may be characterised by its adsorption capacity for molecules of various sizes. Typical results are shown in Table 3. Slight sorption of cyclohexane and rapid sorption of p-xylene suggest an entry port size of about 6.0 A in diameter. The results given in Table 3 also show that m-xylene is sorbed more slowly than p-xylenes, thereby indicating that zeolite EU-1 may be used to separate xylene isomers. It will also be seen from Table 3 that zeolite EU-1 has significant hydrophobic voidage, the voids volume available for water being only 6.9 cc per 100 g as compared with 14.4 cc per 100 g for n-hexane and 12.4 cc per 100 g for p-xylene. This means that zeolite EU-1 is a useful sorbent for removing hydrocarbons from wet gas or from aqueous effluents.

Zeolite EU-1 is further characterised by its infrared spectrum (shown in FIG. 1). In common with other zeolites, zeolite EU-1 has two main IR absorption regions, viz. the stretch ν of the Si-O situated near to 1100 cm-1 and the deformation δ of the Si-O situated near to 500 cm-1.
Referring to the absorption near to 1100 cm-1, zeolite EU-1 has absorptions at 1213 cm-1 (medium weak intensity) and at 1080 cm-1 (very strong). By comparison, the absorptions near 1100 cm-1 for zeolites ZSM-5 and ZSM-11 are 1228 cm-1 (medium) and 1095 cm-1 (very strong) for ZSM-5, and 1221 cm-1 (medium strong) and 1090 cm-1 (very strong) for ZSM-11. Thus there are small but significant differences both in position and intensity of the absorption of zeolite EU-1 as compared with the absorptions of ZSM-5 and ZSM-11.
The deformation δ near to 500 cm-1 of EU-1 has a medium intensity absorption band which is a doublet centred at 570 cm-1 and which is much weaker than the band at 470 cm-1. By comparison, ZSM-11 has a doublet which is symmetrically shaped with absorption occurring at 548 cm-1 and 448 cm-1 ZSM-5 has a doublet absorption band at 545 cm-1 and a second band at 455 cm-1. Thus EU-1 is similar to ZSM-5 in that the higher absorption centered at 570 cm-1 is a doublet. However, the shifts in position, number and relative intensities of the absorptions at 500 cm-1 (and at 1100 cm-1 as described above) are sufficient to identify EU-1 and to distinguish it from ZSM-5 and ZSM-11.
The invention provides also a method of making zeolite EU-1 which comprises reacting an aqueous mixture comprising at least one oxide XO2, at least one oxide Y2 O3 and at least one alkylated derivative of a polymethylene α-ω diamine having the formula ##STR1## which by our definition is Q2+ an amine degradation product thereof, or a precursor thereof, wherein n is in the range from 3 to 12 and R1 to R6 which may be the same or different, can be alkyl or hydroxyalkyl groups, containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and up to five of the groups R1 -R6 can be hydrogen, the mixture having the molar composition:
______________________________________XO2 /Y2 O3 at least 10, preferably 10 to 150OH- /XO2 0.1 to 6.0 preferably 0.1 to 1.0(M+ + Q)/Y2 O3 0.5 to 100Q/(M+ + Q) 0.1 to 1.0H2 O/XO2 1 to 100______________________________________
where X is silicon and/or germanium, Y is one or more of aluminium, iron, gallium, or boron, M is an alkali metal or ammonium, and Q is the aforesaid alkylated derivative of a polymethylene diamine, an amine degradation product thereof, or a precursor thereof, or a related compound.
M and/or Q can be present as hydroxides or salts of inorganic or organic acids provided the OH- /XO2 requirement is fulfilled.
Preferred alkylated polymethylene diamine starting materials include alkylated hexamethylene diamines, especially methylated hexamethylene diamines, for example 1:6 N,N,N,N1,N1,N1 -hexamethyl hexamethylene diammonium salts (e.g. halide, hydroxide, sulphate, silicate, aluminate).
Suitable precursors of the alkylated polymethylene diamine starting materials include the parent diamine along with alcohols or alkyl halides which can be used as such or can be preheated together in the reaction vessel preferably in solution (e.g. in methyl ethyl ketone) prior to addition of the other reactants required for zeolite EU-1 synthesis.
The preferred alkali metal (M) is sodium. The preferred oxide XO2 is silica (SiO2) and the preferred oxide Y2 O3 is alumina (Al2 O3).
The silica source can be any of those commonly considered for use in synthesizing zeolites, for example powdered solid silica, silicic acid, colloidal silica or dissolved silica. Among the powdered silicas usable are precipitated silicas, especially those made by precipitation from an alkali metal silicate solution, such as the type known as "KS 300" made by AKZO, and similar products, aerosil silicas, fume silicas and silica gels suitably in grades for use in reinforcing pigments for rubber or silicone rubber. Colloidal silicas of various particle sizes may be used, for example 10-15 or 40-50 microns, as sold under the Registered Trade Marks "LUDOX", "NALCOAG" and "SYNTON". The usable dissolved silicas include commercially available waterglass silicates containing 0.5 to 6.0, especially 2.0 to 4.0 mols of SiO2 per mol of alkali metal oxide, "active" alkali metal silicates as defined in U.K. Pat. No. 1193254, and silicates made by dissolving silica in an alkali metal hydroxide or quaternary ammonium hydroxide or a mixture thereof.
The alumina source is most conveniently sodium aluminate, but aluminium, an aluminium salt, for example the chloride, nitrate or sulphate, an aluminium alkoxide or alumina itself, which should preferably be in a hydrated or hydratable form such as colloidal alumina, pseudohoehmite, boehmite, gamma alumina or the alpha or beta trihydrate.
The reaction mixture is usually reacted under autogenous pressure, optionally with added gas, e.g. nitrogen, at a temperature between 85� and 250� C. until crystals of zeolite EU-1 form, which can be from 1 hour to many months depending on the reactant composition and the operating temperature. Agitation is optional, but is preferable since it reduces the reaction time.
At the end of the reaction, the solid phase is collected on a filter and washed and is then ready for further steps such as drying, dehydration and ion-exchange.
If the product of the reaction contains alkali metal ions, these have to be at least partly removed in order to prepare the hydrogen form of EU-1 and this can be done by ion exchange with an acid, especially a strong mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or by way of the ammonium compound, made by ion exchange with a solution of an ammonium salt such as ammonium chloride. Ion exchange can be carried out by slurrying once or several times with the ion-exchange solution. The zeolite is usually calcined after ion exchange but this may be effected before ion-exchange or during ion-exchange if the latter is carried out in a number of stages.
In general, the cation(s) of zeolite EU-1 can be replaced by any cation(s) of metals, and particularly those in Groups IA, IB, IIA, IIB, III (including rare earths) VIII (including noble metals) and by lead, tin and bismuth. (The Periodic Table is as in "Abridgements of Specifications" published by the UK Patent Office). Exchange is carried out using any water soluble salts containing the appropriate cation.
When used as a catalyst, zeolite EU-1 can be associated with an inorganic matrix, which can be either inert or catalytically active. The matrix may be present simply as a binding agent to hold the small zeolite particles (0.005 to 10 microns) together, or it may be added as a diluent to control the amount of conversion in a process which may otherwise proceed at too high a rate, leading to catalyst fouling as a result of excessive coke formation. Typical inorganic diluents include catalyst support materials such as alumina, silica and kaolinic clays, bentonites, montmorillonites, sepiolite, attapulgite, Fullers earth, synthetic porous materials such as SiO2 --Al2 O3, SiO2 --ZrO2, SiO2 --ThO2, SiO2 --BeO, SiO2 --TiO2 or any combination of these diluents. An effective way of mixing zeolite EU-1 with such diluents is to mix appropriate aqueous slurries in a mixing nozzle and then to spray-dry the slurry. Other ways of mixing can be used.
If zeolite EU-1 in any cationic form or as a catalytic composite is exchanged or impregnated with hydrogenation/dehydrogenation components, such as Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re, Rh, hydrocracking and reforming catalysts can be made, especially if the Na2 O content is less than 0.1% w/w.
A wide range of hydrocarbon conversion catalysts can be prepared from zeolite EU-1 by ion exchange or impregnation with cations, or oxides, selected from the following, Cu, Ag, Mg, Ca, Sr, Zn, Cd, B, Al, Sn, Pb, V, P, Sb, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Co, Ni, noble metals.
Usually the EU-1 catalyst will be in acid form, thus stoichiometry is maintained by H+ or H3 O+ as an additional balancing cation, or as sole cation. Such catalysts may find application in the following processes; catalytic cracking, hydrodesulphurization, hydrodenitrification, catalytic dewaxing, alkylation of alkanes or aromatics, dealkylation, disproportionation, isomerisation of alkanes and alkyl benzenes, dehydration reactions, oxidation and polymerisation.
We have found that zeolite EU-1 is especially useful as a catalyst for xylenes isomerisation. As is well known, the major aim in xylenes isomerisation is to increase the para-xylene content of the feedstock at the expense of other isomers since para-xylene is a particularly useful and valuable product. The mixed xylenes feedstocks commonly available for xylenes isomerisation usually contain amounts of the three xylene isomers as well as ethylbenzene. Hitherto, some of the mixed xylenes feedstock available has contained relatively small amounts of ethylbenzene but it is anticipated that in the future such feedstocks will become more expensive and that resort will have to be made to feedstocks containing rather larger amounts of ethylbenzene, say up to about 25% ethylbenzene.
According to a further aspect of the present invention we provide a hydrocarbon conversion process which comprises contacting an alkylbenzene or a mixture of alkylbenzenes under isomerisation conditions in the vapour or liquid phase with a catalyst comprising EU-1.
The EU-1 zeolite may conveniently be used as an aggregate in the form of pellets or extrudates, and a dispersing medium, for example gamma-alumina, may be used in the aggregates.
In the vapour phase suitable isomerisation conditions include a temperature in the range 100�-600� C., preferably 200�-450� C., a pressure in the range 0.5-50, preferably 1-5 atm abs, and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) up to 80, or even higher if desired. These conditions are used preferably in the absence of added free hydrogen and with EU-1 containing no hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component.
In the liquid phase suitable isomerisation conditions include a temperature in the range 0�-350� C., a pressure in the range 1-200, preferably 5-70 atm abs., and, in a flow system, a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) preferably in the range 1 to 30, the higher flow rates being used at the higher temperature. Optionally a diluent is present, suitably one or more of those having a critical temperature higher than the isomerisation temperature being used and including toluene, trimethylbenzene, naphthenes and paraffins. Preferably the diluent if present amounts to 1-90% w/w of the feed to the isomerisation reaction. In this liquid phase process the catalyst also preferably contains no hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component and no added free hydrogen is present.
Optionally isomerisation in the vapour phase is conducted in the presence of hydrogen. A suitable mole ratio of hydrogen to alkylbenzene lies in the range 3 to 30:1. If hydrogen is used, the catalyst should comprise a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, preferably a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table, especially platinum or nickel. The amount of metal preferably lies in the range 0.1 to 2% w/w on the total catalyst. If desired, the catalyst may contain one or more additional metals, for example, rhenium, suitably in the range 0.1 to 2% w/w on the total catalyst.
Preferably the alkylbenzene is a xylene, for example, m-xylene for conversion to p-xylene, or a mixture of xylenes, possibly with ethylbenzene. The amount of ethylbenzene present will depend to some extent on the source of the xylene mixture but will usually lie in the range 0 to 25% w/w, especially 6 to 25% w/w of the feedstock, since the process is able to handle feeds containing relatively high amounts of ethylbenzene.
If desired, the EU-1 catalyst used in the process of the invention may contain small amounts of alkali metal, for example up to 1000 and especially up to 300 ppm w/w as equivalent Na2 O. It appears to be unnecessary to have present ions other than hydrogen and (for hydro-isomerisation) Goup VIII metal ions. The EU-1 may contain onium compounds and their decomposition products to the extent of 0.05 to 1.0% w/w such as are present after substantial removal of such materials by calcination in air, when it is to be used in xylenes isomerisation.
Zeolite EU-1 may also find applications in the separation of aromatics and cycloparaffins, and in pollution control by its ability to remove organic contaminants from aqueous effluents.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples.
The synthesis mixture had the following molar composition:

Hx Br2 =hexamethonium bromide=Me3 N(CH2)6 NMe3 2+ (Br-)2 Solid silica (36 g of AKZO grade KS 300 of composition 5.09 Na2 O, Al2 O3, 728 SiO2, 248 H2 O) was suspended in a mixture of 34 g hexamethonium bromide and 468 g water. Next 6 g solid sodium hydroxide, and 2.8 g solid sodium aluminate (1.25 Na2 O, Al2 O3, 3H2 O) were dissolved in 35 g water and stirred into the silica suspension. The resulting slurry was reacted in a stainless steel autoclave stirred at 800 rpm for 22.5 hours at 200� C. under autogenous pressure. After cooling to about 60� C., the slurry product was filtered and washed with 2 liters of distilled water at 60� C., and dried overnight at 120� C. The product was sodium hexamethonium EU-1, along with a small quantity of alphaquartz, had the X-ray data shown in Table 1, and the composition 0.8 Na2 0, 5.5 Q, Al2 O3, 35 SiO2, 10 H2 O where Q2+ is hexamethonium i.e. for correct stoichiometry 1/2[O[(CH3)3 N--(CH2)6 --N(CH3)3 ]2 O], and crystallite sizes of 1 to 3 microns.
This product was calcined in air for 48 hours at 450� C. and was found to have an X-ray diffraction pattern as shown in Table 2 and a nitrogen and carbon content of less than 0.1% w/w. This product was sodium hydrogen EU-1.
The calcined product of Example 1 was slurry-exchanged for 1 hour at 25� C. with 3.6 ml of N hydrochloric acid per g. of zeolite. The resulting hydrogen EU-1 zeolite was washed with 10 ml distilled water per g. of zeolite, dried over-night at 120� C. and activated for sorption and catalyst testing at 450� C., for 6 hours.
The synthesis procedure of Example 1 was repeated using a range of reactants, mixture compositions, reaction temperatures and reaction times. The results are shown in Table 4.

Example 3 was repeated except that hexamethonium bromide was replaced by a chemical equivalent of decamethonium bromide. The product after 150 hours at 180� C. was zeolite EU-1 plus minor amounts of an unknown crystalline impurity.
A sample of zeolite EU-1 (prepared as described in Example 1) was formed into aggregates of 425 to 1000 μm. Three samples of aggregates (Examples 15-17) were tested as xylenes isomerisation catalysts as follows:
Each sample was charged to a glass reactor and heated in a stream of air at 500� C. for 16 hours. It was then cooled in a nitrogen stream to reaction temperature. A feedstock consisting mainly of aromatic hydrocarbons was then passed over the sample at atmospheric pressure for 6 hours.
For comparison, (Example A) a 12 g sample of an amorphous silica/alumina catalyst in the form of 3-5 mm beads containing 10% alumina was charged to a glass reactor and treated in the same manner.
The composition of the feedstock is shown in Table 5. The reaction conditions used and the product composition after 6 hours on line are shown for each sample of EU-1 and for the silica/alumina catalyst in Table 6.

Referring to Table 6, Example 15 shows that EU-1 catalyst can produce a higher percentage of para-xylene in the product, a greater ethylbenzene loss and less xylenes destruction at a higher space velocity than the amorphous silica/alumina catalyst (Comparative Example A).
Example 16 shows that a higher space velocity EU-1 catalyst can still give a high percentage of para-xylene in the product with very little xylenes loss.
Example 17 shows that at a 50� C. lower reaction temperature and a much higher space velocity than that used in Example 16, EU-1 catalyst can still give the same percentage of para-xylene in the product as does the silica/alumina catalyst but with very little xylenes loss.

Wild Stop St. Louis Despite Blues Barrage
The Wild close out the regular season with a game in St. Paul Sunday against the Predators.
The Wild close out the regular season with a game in St. Paul Sunday against the Predators.
This week, Falness wraps up Minnesota's wild win over Boston that helped the team clinch a playoff spot for a second consecutive season, breaks down the goaltending situation and speculates on who the Wild's first round opponent in the playoffs might be.
Wild forward Mikko Koivu scored the lone goal in the shootout to send the Wild to victory.
The Wild host the Bruins Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center (6:30, AM 1390).
The Minnesota Wild are in Winnipeg Monday night to take on the Jets (6:30, WJON).
Erik Haula's fourth goal of the season with under two minutes remaining in regulation sent the game to overtime, and eventually the shootout.
The Wild are in Chicago tonight to take on the Blackhawks (6:30 PM / AM 1390 The Fan).
Folin is not eligible for postseason play as he was acquired after the deadline to sign free agents for the playoffs.
SCSU will conduct a national search for a replacement under Athletic Director Heather Weems.
Center Mikko Koivu scored the game-winning goal about five minutes in to the third period.

There are three things I am passionate about in life – three things I've devoted my energy to: Creating opportunity for the disadvantaged, restoration for the down & out, and giving of hope to the hopeless.
These three, are the philosophical underpinnings of Leke Alder Foundation. Of late, I have added another cause – protection of women from violence and abuse. This is a crusade and it is ongoing.
Leke Alder Foundation not only finances these passions (through educational scholarships, funding of organ transplants, rehabilitation of families, support for orphanages, commitment of funds to rehabilitation of drug addicts and sex workers etc); we are particular about raising awareness about the plight of others – to make us human, and responsive to our neighbours. Your neighbour is not only the un-opportuned, he is also the dis-opportuned by the circumstances of life. We all need each other, some more than others.
Thank you for visiting our website. I will like you to return for updates on our activities and projects. Also sign up for our newsletter. You can follow me on Twitter (@LekeAlder) and Facebook (Leke Alder). Also follow @AlderFoundation on Twitter and Leke Alder Foundation on Facebook.
Fundraising for orphanages!
DOWNLOAD FREE the latest book by Leke Alder and make a donation to the orphanage of your choice.
Introducing the LA Partners Programme.
In 2013, Mr. Leke Alder began a series of advisory tweets to his mentees – men and women who follow him on social media and want to be mentored by him.
Those tweets metamorphosed into the Jack & Jil social media initiative and the #Letr2Jack & #Letr2Jil letter series focused on wholesome relationships.

Here's a brief synopsis of the Tim Tebow experience in New York:
In March of 2011, Tebow was traded to the Jets and boy was he excited to be in New York.
He reportedly believed that he could beat out Mark Sanchez for the starting job, but things began to head south pretty early for Tebow.

HTC One M9 Plus leaks out: 5.5" QHD screen, Snapdragon 810, Duo Camera and finger scanner
45 Comments

Doesn't look sexy like previous HTC models. Looks bit meh actually.
18. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Plot twist: This is the Chinese clone of HTC One M9.
36. LebronJamesFanboy (Posts: 274; Member since: 23 Mar 2013)
With those huge bezels, I hope you're right.
This thing would be the same size as a 6 plus if not bigger
43. ATTboss (Posts: 20; Member since: 06 Jan 2015)
this is fake if it was real HTC would USE the HTC Logo as a fingerprint scanner. fake kid made this
19. Industriality (Posts: 131; Member since: 08 Sep 2014)
Probably a prototype.
25. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
Looks more like someone photoshopped M8 with the note 4's bottom.
28. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey the blurry camera is NEVER wrong. lol Please show some respect! lol
31. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
Then he used an M8 to shoot pic before photoshopping.
44. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hahahahahaha seriously!
45. Doakie (Posts: 2005; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Looks like it has a huge nipple on the back.
2. madbmd (Posts: 34; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
3. Diego! (Posts: 574; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
What is that button at the bottom á la Samsung Galaxy? WTF?
7. Kruze (Posts: 1285; Member since: 30 Dec 2014)
This just sucks, really. Why they can't place the fingerprint scanner on the back like on their One Max? And they can use some technology from Huawei, to make the fingerprint scanning faster like on the Mate 7.
29. Diego! (Posts: 574; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
I agree. That button sucks. It only works, somehow, but doesn´t please everybody, in Samsung Galaxy Models.
I hope this is a fake render because it screams uglyness all over it.
12. Neros (Posts: 1016; Member since: 19 Dec 2014)
The phone looks like sh*t and that big ass camera on the back. Wow, it's ugly. Good specs, though.
17. BLUEBLASTER (Posts: 334; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)
Is it real? Surely it cant be with the button?
26. Industriality (Posts: 131; Member since: 08 Sep 2014)
Proto or fake, I doubt HTC will adpot such ugly design.
4. sonisoe (Posts: 411; Member since: 06 May 2009)
why do htc love bazels...especially the bottom one, there for htc branding only ??
5. Kruze (Posts: 1285; Member since: 30 Dec 2014)
Looks like HTC borrowed the home button from the S5 and the camera lens from the Nexus 5.
It really looks meh.
15. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Does look like Nexus Camera glass style..too big on that design nevermind N5.

10. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I'm excited for this but i hope this is not the design
11. Neros (Posts: 1016; Member since: 19 Dec 2014)
Home button stolen from sammy. Nice1 htc.
13. stocklee (unregistered)
this cannot be real. Looks like Nexus 4 and Samsung GS4 decided to have a baby and now its completely retarded
14. Symon_Fleece (Posts: 335; Member since: 30 May 2014)
seems it's like the successor of one max, but has a smaller display. good specs also
16. MarquiX (Posts: 64; Member since: 11 Dec 2014)
This isn't real.... The first and last picture don't even match. Leaksfly has lost all creditability from me. Not to mention that camera is horrible.
20. ciprian.ruse (Posts: 294; Member since: 13 May 2014)
23. Neros (Posts: 1016; Member since: 19 Dec 2014)
M8 got leaked 1 month before unveiling.
21. jmonteiro829 (Posts: 186; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)
Sigh... why are we still seeing finger scanners.... where is my retinal scan!!!
22. Dr.SamX (Posts: 153; Member since: 19 Jan 2015)
Is this a swipe finger-sensor? Like the crappy ones in Samsung devices?
24. Jamoga (Posts: 187; Member since: 17 Dec 2014)
arrgg , the large circular camera looks super ugly. prefer the leaked square one instead. but ill go with fake on this one.
27. Plasticsh1t (Posts: 448; Member since: 01 Sep 2014)
I hope this isn't the real thing.
30. Gp_Customs (banned) (Posts: 269; Member since: 14 Jan 2015)
3gb Ram, oppo9 offers better. Don't like the design. The M7 is much better.
32. TechNeck (Posts: 238; Member since: 29 Aug 2014)
That Camera tho.
33. zachattack (Posts: 621; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)
Haha if that's any semblance of the new HTC phone, HTC is going to straight up drop off the maps. Now way in hell would I buy that. They just made the phone even longer for no damn reason. Looks so bad
34. yahia_malka (Posts: 186; Member since: 27 Mar 2014)
Why the camera size is so big while the real sensor is like a dot in it
35. Benoit (Posts: 57; Member since: 16 Oct 2014)
It's a bad photoshop: a note 4 home button, a nexus 5 lens and a Sony Xperia lens for the front camera...
37. caustictoast (Posts: 31; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
And a galaxy s5 fingerprint scanner. I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed
39. wando77 (Posts: 839; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
FAKE!! It's a galaxy note 4 button photoshopped onto it. If you look carefully it is even level
40. Suo.Eno (Posts: 498; Member since: 17 Feb 2013)
I won't mind a 5.5" One Max M9 (eff Plus ;p) just not this one gtfoh w/ that home button (this is a fake clearly). Bigger batt if slightly thicker so what, less side bezels and just a decent cam replacement to that UltraPixel abomination and we're set. Probably some added IP rating as a bonus would be nice too.
41. Skizzo (Posts: 37; Member since: 14 Jul 2013)
It's a fake. The bottom speaker grill is missing (replaces by the clearly Samsung button.)
There is no way that HTC is willing to drop the amazing stereo BoomSound speakers for a home button.
42. zunaidahmed (Posts: 809; Member since: 24 Dec 2011)
This looks like a nexus 5 camera ps(ed) onto a m8 body with m7 type finish. it's fxxking ugly...

Poor intranet design costs firms £9.7m a year

The Internet consultancy estimated that a company with one of the least-usable intranet designs would spend £1,925 per employee annually on 16 common tasks. The most usable designs would cost just £989 per employee.
The research estimated total annual costs for companies with more than 10,000 employees at £9.9m if they have good intranet usability; £13.1m with average and £19.2m with bad usability.
If all company intranets were as good as the best 25% in the study, the global economy would save £197bn on the 16 tasks alone, it said.
Jacob Nielsen, co-founder of Nielsen Norman Group, said intranets are as important as corporate Web sites.

[edit] What is Education?
- Education: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge.
Today when you hear the word Education you directly think about mathematics, literature, physics and other factual areas where of which you can study. Education is a lot more than that though. You educate yourself each day, in all aspects of life. From waking up in the morning, brushing your teeth. You go to work and finish tasks that you haven't done before. So, the education we today receive dogmas and doctrines in highly specified fields of knowledge. Most common are the before mentioned Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and language/literature. Basically all other fields that should be within the realm of education are down sized or completely removed from conventional education institution due to lack of funds or interest.
[edit] The Idea
RBOSE.org is a resource for learning, collaboration, creativity, research, personal development and much much more. To be able to reach all the various goal each and everyone of us have with life we need a specific resource of assembling information of various fields, to maintain the resource and make sure that it is kept up to date with both new and old teaching.

We want to know all about your life in Chicago
We think living in Chicago is pretty great, with all the beautiful attractions and delicious restaurants—but we also know it comes with some challenges (hello, CTA delays). Every city has its trade-offs, right? We want to know more about how you strike the balance, and that's why we at Time Out are launching a global investigation to learn more about what real life is like in the world's best cities. From Madrid to Melbourne—and even Malibu—we want to know what kind of relationship you have with your city, so we're asking you to participate in our City Index survey. The survey should take less than 10 minutes and covers culture and nightlife, dining, dating, friends and work. Some of the questions are a little personal (hey, we said it was about real life) but the data will be totally anonymous and you won't be identified in any way. Once we gather responses, we will be crunching the numbers to bring you some cool insights about Chicago and other cities around the world. What city has the best street food? Which is best for partying all night? Where are the workaholics burning the midnight oil? Complete the survey and we'll find out! Want more? Sign up here to stay in the know.Read more
Logan Square is probably getting a Jewel Osco grocery store
Within the past few years, enough bars and restaurants have opened in Logan Square to make it possible for residents to eat (and drink) at a different place every night of the week. But the popular North Side neighborhood has long lacked a large grocery store, which means many residents (especially those with cars) travel to nearby stores to stock their fridges. While there's a Cermak Produce on North Avenue, Tony's Finer Foods on Fullerton Avenue and Fresh Market Place on Western Avenue, there's no big-box, chain grocery store in Logan Square that stocks a wide variety of options in one location. That will change when Logan's Crossing—the 130,680-square-foot development that will replace Logan Square's soon-to-be-demolished Mega Mall—is completed in the coming years. Curbed Chicago spoke with multiple sources with knowledge of the project to reveal that the development will likely be anchored by Jewel Osco, a grocery store chain that already has more than 30 locations across the city. If you're a Logan Square resident who was hoping for a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods, you'll just have to move to one of the many other Chicago neighborhoods that hosts those chains. There haven't been many updates on the timeline for the Logan's Crossing project (the graffiti-covered Mega Mall is still standing, as of this writing) but, coupled with the existing transit-oriented developments (L Luxury Apartments, MiCa and the forthcoming "micro-apartment" development at 2328 N California AveRead more

Uh oh: A Red Line car is infested with bed bugs, according to Reddit
PSA to Red Line passengers: take a careful look at your seat on the train before sitting down. Reddit user UeSuRi reports an infestation of either bed bugs or lice on their Monday morning commute (going southbound at about 8:50am). I know. I'm getting itchy just writing this post. UeSuRi noticed the bugs while sitting on the train and only lasted a few minutes at work before going home to wash up. At home, the passenger stripped down only to find more bugs under their clothes. An unidentified doctor at an urgent care clinic confirmed they were bed bugs, though the passenger (and the Reddit community) believes they're lice. You can take a look at the photos and decide for yourself, if you dare. Also, if you want to read a bunch of strangers arguing about bug identification, this Reddit post is for you. The original poster went to the CTA to notify them in person yesterday. Twitter users have also reached out to the CTA, who state they are aware of and looking into the matter. @lczulufaces Thanks for reaching out to us; we are aware of this report and are looking into the matter. — cta (@cta) September 27, 2016 We live in Chicago and not New York to avoid gross nonsense like this!

The three best things to do today in Chicago
1. Eat your way through the West Side You'd better come hungry to the Wicker Park & Bucktown Fall Dinner Crawl. Choose one of four routes to gobble up all the culinary options that these neighborhoods have to offer. (Wicker Park/Bucktown, various restaurants, 6pm-9pm. $35) 2. Catch some first-rate stand up comedy On-the-rise stand-up comedian Aparna Nancherla is bringing her smart, dry standup to the Hideout tonight. This Late Night With Seth Meyers writer is not to be missed. (The Hideout, 1354 W Wabansia Ave, 8:30pm. $12) 3. Learn everything to know about whiskey Take a class on American whiskey from award-winning bartender Peter Vestinos.

University of Chicago will screen 1925 German film 'Variete' with a live score
One of the supreme masterpieces of Weimar-era German cinema is set to make its Chicago re-premiere at the University of Chicago's Film Studies Center on Sunday, October 2. Director E.A. Dupont's Variete will screen in a new restoration with live accompaniment by the percussion-heavy three-man ensemble known as the Alloy Orchestra. Although I haven't yet heard this new score, the Hollywood Reporter called it "indispensable," and said the film is "the vintage restoration sensation of the year." Considering that Alloy's score for Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera is the greatest I've heard for any silent film, this upcoming screening should be considered essential viewing for local cinephiles. Variete was Germany's biggest box office hit of 1925. It came out during the height of the movement known as Expressionism but, in spite of the extraordinarily fluid camerawork of Karl Freund (Metropolis) and a clever plot about the sinister goings-on within a circus, Dupont's movie actually feels closer to the social realism with which directors like G.W. Pabst (Pandora's Box) and Josef Von Sternberg (The Blue Angel) would soon make their mark. The film begins with a prisoner, "Boss" Huller (Emil Jannings in an uncharacteristically restrained performance), breaking a 10-year vow of silence and telling a warden the tragic story, seen in flashback, of how he came to murder his unfaithful trapeze-artist wife (Lya de Putti). The whole movie is great but the highlights are the exhilaratiRead more

There are a few other $5 specials including house wines and snacks, like arancini with pancetta, peas and béchamel and meatballs with tomato sauce, ricotta and toasted bread crumbs. Tuesday–Thursday: Love ceviche? Nacional 27's got you covered. From 5–7pm, you can mix and match any three of the restaurant's ceviches, like the rainbow with octopus, shrimp, tuna and cilantro marinade to the ahi tuna and watermelon with rice wine vinaigrette for $10.

Support your presidential candidate with Giordano's election-themed pizzas
Tired of posting your political opinions and declaring why you're voting for Hillz or the Donald? Giordano's has a new way of letting you tell your friends about your political leanings, via some politician-themed pizzas. Starting tomorrow, you can have the visage of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump stenciled in parmesan cheese on top of your pizza—you are what you eat, after all. A limited quantity of the stenciled pizzas will be available at Giordano's Jackson location (223 W Jackson Blvd) for dine-in only the day after each presidential debate (September 27, October 10 and October 20) in addition to Election Day on November 8. Hopefully Giordano's will keep track of which candidates gets more orders—an informal pizza poll, if you will—so that we can finally determine which side of the aisle enjoys Chicago-style deep dish pizza the most.

Uptown honky-tonk Carol's Pub has closed its doors
Over the weekend, Uptown country bar Carol's Pub announced its (temporary?) closure via a post on its Facebook page, which simply stated that the bar "will remain closed until further notice." A fixture of Uptown since 1973, the dive bar was known for its live country and western music, usually played by house band Diamondback, and it's equally infamous weekly karaoke nights. Run by its namesake, Carol Harris, the bar served domestic beer, cheap shots and was open until 5am on Saturday nights—it was a reliable place of refuge for those who stay out until the wee hours of the morning. According to previous Facebook posts, Carol's Pub has been closed for the past two weekends, but the bar's announcement on Saturday points to an uncertain future for the Uptown institution. Even the person who runs Carol's Pub Facebook page isn't quite sure what's happening, replying to a commenter on the bar's page with the statement, "Carol is really the only one who knows what's going on." Carol's Pub joins a string of beloved Chicago dive bars that have shut their doors over the past few years, including the Two Way in Logan Square, Wicker Park's Beachwood Inn and Club Foot in Ukrainian Village. If you're the kind of person who appreciates a cheap can of beer, well shots and dusty neon signs, maybe you should pay your neighborhood dive bar a visit this week—they seem to need all the help they can get right now.

This is just outrageous.
A Boeing plane (must be 737?) readying for departure from CDG Paris to St Petersburgh, Russia caught fire from a bag in luggage compartment. Reportedly, a passenger (whatta prick!) was transporting a bunch of signal flares in it, in violation of rules on flamable items in luggage.
Pax had to be moved to another pane and took off 3 hrs behind schedule.
Who should we fry for this: the passenger or CDG airport check-in security?? Both on one stick, maybe...

RICHARD S. LAWRENCE AND PETER A. VLACHOSE, AS EXECUTORS OF THE ESTATE OF ALICE LAWRENCE, plf v. GRAUBARD MILLER, C. DANIEL CHILL, ELAINE M. REICH, AND STEVEN MALLIS, def
- Surrogate's Court, New York County
- 0175/82
- Nov 21 2013 (Date Decided)
- Surrogate Anderson
RICHARD S. LAWRENCE AND PETER A. VLACHOSE, AS EXECUTORS OF THE ESTATE OF ALICE LAWRENCE, plf v. GRAUBARD MILLER, C. DANIEL CHILL, ELAINE M. REICH, AND STEVEN MALLIS, def (0175/82) — Presently before the court is a motion by the executors of the estate of Alice Lawrence ("movants") seeking discharge of a bond that movants posted to obtain a stay under CPLR 5519(a)(2)1 pending their appeal from an amended decree dated October 14, 2011 (the "October 2011 decree"). The October 2011 decree awarded the firm of Graubard Miller some $15.8 million for its legal services to movants' decedent in connection with a decades-long litigation involving the estate of Sylvan Lawrence. The magnitude of the award was attributable in part to a contingency element allowed by the court. By the terms of the appeal bond in question, the surety undertook that, "if the[October 2011] decree so appealed from, or any part of it, is affirmed, or the appeal is dismissed, the [executors] shall pay the sum directed to be paid by the decree or the part of it as to which said decree is affirmed."
As the basis for their request for relief, movants point to two developments following the issuance of the bond. The first was a decision rendered by the Appellate Division, First Department, modifying the October 2011 decree to allow for a fee to Graubard to be calculated upon the considerably more modest basis of an hourly rate. The second was movants' payment of some $2.9 million to Graubard in total satisfaction of a decree dated July 29, 2013, entered in this court following the remand.
Movants contend that the abovedescribed developments have rendered Graubard's need for an appeal bond moot, and on that ground they seek discharge of the bond and release of the surety. That is, according to movants, there is '"no longer a judgment order to enforce'" and '"no stay [of enforcement] is necessary' David Siegel, Practice Commentaries C 5519:6 at 7BMcKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York 228." Movants further note that, "This is true whether or not Graubard...succeeds on its appeal to the Court of Appeals." Affidavit of Daniel J. Kornstein, at p. 4.
In pressing such position, however, movants overlook the basic purpose of an appeal bond under CPLR 5519 and ignore the terms of the surety's undertaking in this case. The statute requires such an undertaking to assure that a judgment creditor who may prevail at the conclusion of the appellate process cannot be harmed in the interim by a stay obtained at an earlier stage of that process. The present case illustrates the point. But for the stay of the decree obtained by movants in October 2011, Graubard could have taken steps to obtain and enforce a judgment for some $15.8 million. The appeal bond was required to protect Graubard against the possibility that movants might become judgment-proof during the course of the appellate process, rendering an ultimate affirmance of the October 2011 decree only a pyrrhic victory for Graubard (see Robert Stigwood Org., Inc. v. Devon Co., 91 Misc 2d 723 [Sup. Ct., New York County 1977]). It is therefore critical to note that, although Graubard did not prevail at the first appellate level, the appellate process in this case remains on-going, the Court of Appeals having given leave to appeal.
Certain appellate decisions (e.g., Self Serv. Super Market v. Harris, 3 NY2d 615; Robinson, Receiver v. Plimpton, 25 NY 484; Jones v. Wicks, 16 AD2d 685 [2d Dept. 1962]; Consolidated Ind. & Ins. Co. v. Dein, 233 AD 380 [1st Dept. 1931]) have been the subject of considerable argument between the parties on this motion. Each of those decisions recognized that "an intermediate reversal of a judgment does not discharge the surety on an appeal bond if the higher court subsequently reverses the intermediate court" Consolidated Indem. and Ins. Co. v. Dein, supra, at 383.
Movants argue that such decisions either are no longer viable or, in any event, are distinguishable from the present case. Movants question the viability of these precedents on the ground that the decisions predate the CPLR. But movants do not explain in what way the CPLR's provisions alter the above-quoted principle acknowledged by these rulings. Nor do movants explain how the rulings' context — i.e., after the appellate process had been concluded — renders those rulings inapplicable here. Indeed, where, as here, a surety has bound itself to make good on a judgment, it appears that the surety cannot sensibly be held to be released from liability at an intermediate stage of appeal if, as the cited precedents hold, a court of final resort may ultimately hold the surety liable on its undertaking (compare T.T. Chems. [U.S.A.] Inc v. Vinmar Impex, Inc., 189 AD2d 727 [1st Dept. 1993])[where stay of enforcement of judgment is terminated by denial of leave to appeal from judgment's reversal or modification, liability on bond discharged]). To the extent that a lower court decision cited by movants is to the contrary, but not distinguishable, this court respectfully declines to adopt its reasoning (see City of New York v. 17 Vista Assoc., 1991 WL 11762684 (Sup. Ct. 1991). See Sunrise Harbor Realty, LLC v. 35th Sunrise Corp., 2011 WL 8183983 (Sup. Ct., Suffolk County 2011); compare Sung Hwan Co. Ltd. v. Rite Aid Corp., 2009 NY Slip Op 31727(U) [Sup Ct, New York County] (where intermediate appellate court denied leave to appeal from judgment secured by undertaking, the latter was in effect vacated).
Thus, Robinson and like decisions written long ago are no less instructive for the present case than if they had been rendered recently. Then, as now, there was "no reason for making [an] undertaking effectual only upon the first appeal, and for the judgment of a court which [is] not necessarily final" (id., at 485). Accordingly, surety undertakings addressed in the decisions issued more than a century ago were understandably expressed in terms akin to those used in the surety's undertaking herein (see, e.g., Foo Long v. The Am. Sur. Co., 146 NY 251; Robinson, Receiver v. Plimpton, supra; cf. Consol. Indem. And Ins. Co. v. Dein, supra).
The court has considered movants' other arguments and finds them lacking in merit. The motion is denied for the reasons discussed above.
This decision constitutes the order of the court.
Dated: November 21, 2013
1. Under section 5519(a)(2) of the CPLR, a stay of enforcement of a judgment or order is available without court order where "the judgment or order directs the payment of a sum of money, and an undertaking in that sum is given that if the judgment or order appealed from, or any part of it, is affirmed, or the appeal is dismissed, the appellant or moving party shall pay the amount directed to be paid by the judgment or order, or the part of it as to which the judgment or order is affirmed...."

The former first-round Draft pick had two hits, including a bases-loaded double, on Saturday as San Diego posted an 8-5 Cactus League victory over the Kansas City Royals in Peoria, Ariz.
Facing veteran left-hander Bruce Chen in the bottom of the first inning, Alonso lined a one-out double off the right field fence that staked the Padres to a 3-0 lead.
Alonso also singled in the third and grounded out in the fifth before making way for Kyle Blanks. He raised his average to .265 and has seven RBIs in 12 Spring Training games. A year ago, he posted an .860 OPS at Triple-A Louisville before smacking five homers and hitting .330 in a 47-game stint with the Reds.
The 24-year-old first-baseman was acquired with catcher Yasmani Grandal and pitchers Edinson Volquez and Brad Boxberger last December in the deal that sent right-hander Mat Latos to Cincinnati. Blocked at his natural position by 2010 MVP Joey Votto with the Reds, Alonso is being given the chance to win a spot in the Padres lineup.
Second baseman Jonathan Galvez slugged a two-run homer and No 5. prospect Jedd Gyorko drove in the go-ahead run with a forceout in the eighth as San Diego improved to 8-8 this spring.
