made a great hit. It certainly is one of the few cities that lives up to it's reputation in every
way. I should call it the most interesting city, with more character back of it than any city
on this continent. There are only four deck rooms and we each have one. The boat is
small, but in spite of the crowd that is going on her, will I think be comfortable. I know it
will be that, and it may be luxurious.
On way to Japan.
March 13th, 1904.
About four this afternoon we saw an irregular line of purple mountains against a yellow
sky, and it was Japan. In spite of the Sunday papers, and the interminable talk on board,
the guide books and maps which had made Japan nauseous to me, I saw the land of the
Rising Sun with just as much of a shock and thrill as I first saw the coast of Africa. We
forgot entirely we had been twenty days at sea and remembered only that we were ten
miles from Japan, only as far as New Bedford is from Marion. We are at anchor now,
waiting to go in in the morning. Were it not for war we could go in now but we must wait
to be piloted over the sunken mines. That and the flashlights moving from the cruisers ten
miles away gave us our first idea of war. To-morrow early we will be off for Tokio, as it
is only forty miles from Yokohama. Of course, I may get all sorts of news before we
land, but that is what we expect to do. It will be good to feel solid earth, and to see the
kimonos and temples and geishas and cherry blossoms. I am almost hoping the
Government won't let us go to the front and that for a week at least Cecil and I can sit in
tea houses with our shoes off while the nesans bring us tea and the geishas rub their knees
and make bows to us. I am sending you through Harper's, a book on Hawaii and one of
Japan that I have read and like and which I think will help you to keep in touch with the
wanderers. With all my love to all.
TOKYO, March 22nd, 1904.
The "situation" here continues to remain in such doubt that I cannot tell of it, as it
changes hourly. There are three "columns," so far existing only in imagination. That is, so
far as they concern the correspondents. The first lot have chosen themselves, and so have
the second lot. But the first lot are no nearer starting than they were two weeks ago. I may
be kept waiting here for weeks and weeks. I do not like to turn out Palmer, although I
very much want to go with the first bunch. On the other hand I am paid pretty well to get
to the front, and I am uncertain as to what I ought to do. If the second column were to
start immediately after the first, we then would have two men in the field, but if it does
not, then Collier will be paying $1000. a week for stories of tea houses and "festivals."
Palmer threatens to resign if I take his place in the first column and that would be a loss
to the paper that I do not feel I could make up. If it gets any more complicated I'll wire
Collier to decide.

Google's rolled out a new option to turn off "conversation view" in Gmail. I'm dumbfounded that I've seen two different people now question why anyone would want to do this. OK, I'll bite.
But Conversation View Is So Great!
Let's do the critics first. Here's Google's Matt Cutts about the crazy people who don't want conversations:
But ability 2 turn off Gmail conversation view is like ability 2 hit head against wall. Why would you do it? #notefficient 🙂
Here's Christopher Dawson over at ZDNet:
Google announced today that it would allow users to disable what, in my opinion, is the single best feature of Gmail and one of the most touted new features of Outlook 2010…
This sounds to me, however, like it is really about attracting enterprise-types who have become accustomed to Outlook and Exchange, where a conversation view only became available with the launch of Outlook 2010. Conversation view, for non-Gmail users, is a real switch
Heck, even Google itself, in announcing the change, makes me feel like I'm an insane pariah for wanting it:
It turns out not everyone feels the same way. And just as an outspoken minority has banded together in unison to declare their distaste of one of nature's most delicious herbs, some of you have been very vocal about your dislike of conversation threading.
Let Me Count The Reasons To Opt-Out
So why am I so crazy as to want this off? For one, because I want to, OK?
I don't care if you love Gmail's conversation view and think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Not everyone does. So having a choice to disable it is nice. Choices are good. I'm glad it's here now, and I'd prefer that you didn't question my decision to use it.
Conversations Aren't Perfect
Other reasons. You know what? Gmail's not perfect. Sometimes it puts things into a conversation that aren't actually part of it. Sometimes it misses other things On the odd occasion, I've got some spam or off-topic message that I don't want in the middle of everything else.
Here's an example right now, in my inbox:
That's the latest comment on a blog post that I have about sneaked versus snuck. That post has over 100 comments. I've got over 100 notifications of each comment. However, Gmail thinks for whatever reason that only 4 of them today are part of the "conversation."
OK, that makes sense if you're talking the most recent conversation. But I thought Gmail was all about keeping track of conversations over time? Where's the rest?
It's also frigging annoying. I'm one of those people who likes to deal with an email individually and have it done. So in my inbox, I have what feels to me four different messages coming back, when I really only want to deal with the latest one.
Deleting Is Easier
I also get a lot of crap email, stuff I want to delete. But I never feel safe using the delete feature from the inbox because it will wipe out a bunch of messages that may have been wrapped into a conversation. Instead, I have to click into the conversation, then delete what I might want to kill.
I know, I know. Unlimited storage! Never need to delete. Yeah, that's not really true, as my Pondering "Email Conservation" After Hitting Gmail's Storage Limit post gets into. Hey, I solved my storage issues for $50 per year, and it's well spent. With 60% of my quota still free, I don't need to delete. But if I want to, I want to, OK? And a non-conversation view makes it easier.
Focusing Can Be Easier
Another reason is sometimes, I have long emails that in turn are shoved into long conversation views. This is another case when I might more easily want to deal with just a single email, in a non-conversation view.
How About An Easier Toggle?
So thanks, Gmail, for allowing me the option. Want to make it better? Allow me to easily toggle it on or off, like Outlook 2010 does. This having to dig into settings and switch it on and off as a global option is crazy. It should be a view option from my inbox or "all mail" summary. Hey, showing snippets ought to be, too.

Lost in discussions concerning Africa is the growing success story of women entering politics and gaining victory in their political campaigns. A woman now leads Liberia, and in the upcoming election in Malawi a record 220 candidates are vying for the legislature and other top positions. Loveness Gondwe is Malawi's first female candidate for president and incumbent president Bingu w Mutharika has selected a woman to be his running mate as the vice presidential candidate. There are currently 27 female members of the Malawi parliament but women activists have launched a "50/50″ campaign which seeks to increase that number to half the members of parliament.
Ms. Gondwe makes clear, "as a woman I will make a difference to help the poor, workers and those who have been betrayed by our male rulers in the past." She also tells voters not to select her because she is a woman, but because of her ideas.

Ms. Everhart is by far the best Family Law Attorney in the Southwest/El Paso area. She professionally represented me, and my family's best interest. I would recommend her for any father or mother seeking what is right and ethical for their children and their own individual rights as a parent. Her support staff Deanna and Amy are also very efficient and effective, and professional. I went with cheap attorney before and paid the price. I know now you can't sacrifice quality for cost. Ms. Everhart is the best!
Posted by mARIA
Hired her in 2011, for divorce secondary to infidelity/domestic violence. From the first meeting, I was upfront with her regarding serious dealings by ex -spouse e.g. forgery of checks/ documents, hidden bank accounts, etc. Stated she could "handled anything. " When my ex switched to a "most expensive lawyer in EP" (her own words), her fees quadruple. As ex's lawyer dragged case, her fees were accumulating and I did not have the means to give her monthly payments. She tried to coax me into settling: basically my ex would be awarded everything and I be awarded attorney's fees to pay her. When I voiced my opinion that this was very unfair, she gave me a lecture (and a copy of an article from Texas State Bar) stating that more than 65% of females undergoing divorce in the state of Texas end up in a severe financial dilemma and even bankrupt . From here own, it just got worse for me. She failed to enforce sanctions against my ex regarding his discovery; her staff (including her daughter) became rude and very defensive when I would bring up my right to force ex to produce his discovery. She then send me a letter demanding another $10,000 to continue with my case. When I did not meet her demands, she took me to court for motion for withdrawal of counsel, which was granted by the Judge of 65th court. Two years later, I still can not get divorced, I am broke, but yet I do not qualify for legal aid because I do not meet the criteria. And what is worse, she not only prolonged my case but because she never made a motion to compel my ex to produce his complete discovery (hidden bank accounts, properties,etc), it will lead to unfair trial. At this time, I am just waiting for my ex's lawyer to set a date for trial. And what is worse, the JUDGE CONSENTED TO MY CHILDREN'S SUPPORT CHECK BE SIGNED OVER TO PAY FOR MY EX-SPOUSE'S LAWYER'S FEES.
DO NOT HIRE HER!! YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY AND TIME!!! In the beginning, she will make all sorts of promises. But when she becomes overwhelmed with your case, (JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS REVIEWERS STATED) she will coax you into settling but it will not be to your benefit. If you refuse to settle, she will demand more money. IF you refuse her demand, then she will withdraw as your lawyer, and believe me you will not have any type of recourse with the legal system.

I obtained Mrs. Everhart for my divorce 5 years ago. It was a very difficult time for me. Mrs. Everhart always made me feel welcome and comfortable. She will be very specific with you concerning the details in your case. She makes sure you understand what happens every step of the way and always has your best interest at hand. She has 19 years of experience and it certainly shows in the courtroom. I had to obtain Mrs. Everhart again last year, this time concerning an increase in child support. Once again Mrs. Everhart demonstrated her ability to succeed in the courtroom. Mrs. Everhart has been a light in my life when I needed it. I have been able to focus on other areas of my life knowing I had the support of Mrs. Everhart in the courtroom. I highly recommend Mrs. Everhart to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney who is sincere and has your best interest in mind.

I retained Ms Everhart for a custody/ child support modification issue. I had exactly the same experience as the last reviewer. She coaxed me into a settlement agreement with talk of how the judge would be upset if the judge were made to hear the case. She flat out ignored some of the very serious issues I brought up that needed to go into my orders. She told me everything I was agreeing to was standard TX family code stuff, it wasn't.
The opposing counsel got everything they wanted, I got nothing I wanted, and major issues were ignored, and unresolved. These issues came back to bite me later, and cost extensive amounts of time and money to try to resolve.
It seems her MO is to get her clients to settle/agree to anything the other party desires.
I recommending finding a more aggressive lawyer unless you and the other party are already in agreement about everything anyway.
Posted by anonymous
She did look out for my best interest. She coaxed me into agreeing to the divorce term saying it was all standard. Which it wasn't!! I would never reccommend her to any one who is seeking a fair divorce! I was screwed so bad by my ex's attorney that it made my head spin when I finally realized what she convinced me to sign it was to late!!!!.

South Africa PowerBall
Launched in October 2009, South Africa PowerBall has fast become one of South Africa's most popular lotteries due to its large jackpots, good odds and charitable contributions.
Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday and have a guaranteed minimum jackpot of R3 million. However, this value often increases dramatically as a result of consecutive rollovers and, in 2011, the jackpot reached a phenomenal R102 million after 24 draws without a top prize winner.
South Africa PowerBall Results
Prize breakdowns for each draw are published on the numbers page as soon as they have been verified. Players can also access the results from previous draws as well as information on jackpot-winning tickets.
The last jackpot was: R15,590,619
History of South Africa PowerBall
The South African National Lottery was established in 2000 and PowerBall was introduced to the nation nine years later. The game was developed with the aim of creating bigger jackpots, better prizes and more winners than South Africa's main Lotto 6/49 draw.
The first draw took place on Friday 23rd October 2009 and boasted a jackpot value of R30 million. Since its launch, the game's popularity grown dramatically and each draw generates approximately R13 million in ticket sales.

HP says products may have been sold to Syria by others
By Nicola Leske
(Reuters) - Hewlett Packard Co said in a letter made public on Friday that its products could have been delivered to Syria through resellers or distributors, but the world's largest PC maker affirmed it did not sell directly to the country.
The letter was a response to a request from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Global Security Risk that asked whether HP's products were sold in countries where they would be subject to U.S. sanctions.
"We are aware of November 2011 news reports that your equipment was installed by the Italian company, Area SpA, in Syria as part of a nationwide surveillance and tracking system designed to monitor people in that country," the SEC wrote in its request.
"Please describe to us the nature, duration, and extent of your past, current, and anticipated contacts with Syria and Iran, whether through subsidiaries, distributors, resellers, vendors, retailers, or other direct or indirect arrangements."
In a letter dated October 9, HP said it had not authorized the sale of products to Syria.
Instead, HP said the Italian surveillance company had likely obtained its products from an HP partner that was unaware of their ultimate destination.
In another October 9 letter to the agency, HP said it ended its contract with Area SpA in April.
Calls to HP seeking further comment were unanswered as were calls to Area SpA. Continued...

Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/20/1993
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: For many years a common practice has been to grow beans following alfalfa. This practice results in excessive irrigation-induced erosion and a high potential for nitrate leaching. Research results have shown that a better practice is to grow no-till corn and/or cereal the first two seasons following alfalfa, and then grow beans using reduced tillage practices. Applying these research results reduces irrigation-induced erosion more than 80% over the crop rotation cycle, significantly reduces the potential for nitrate leaching, reduces nitrogen fertilizer requirements and costs, and increases farmer net income $50 to $100 per acre each year.

Wilson rolls on in Oregon
By Sam DiTusa at ringside
Unbeaten cruiserweight Mike Wilson remained unbeaten Saturday night by scoring a unanimous decision over Ray Johnson in the main event at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, Oregon. The SRO crowd of approximately 1700 was in a frenzy as the taller Wilson used a long jab and right hand to keep Johnson at bay throughout. Johnson (7-9) used a bobbing and weaving style in an attempt to get inside and at times was successful, but Wilson, a 4 time US amateur champion, had the experience and skill to stay in control of the fight. The Oregonian picked his spots when he had Johnson on the ropes to open up an impressive arsenal to the body and head. All three judges scored the fight 60-54 elevating Wilson's record to (9-0).
The semi main event was a rematch between Seattle's Eddie Hunter (7-8-2) and home town super middleweight Kevin Hand (4-4). Hunter won the first one in Seattle, and on this night won again in Hand's backyard. The fight was filled with non-stop action as neither fighter gave an inch. Hand landed the larger volume of clean shots, while Hunter used a steady jab and overhand right to do his damage. Both fighters showed the signs of a hard fought battle at the bell with Hunter winning a majority decision on scores of 59-55, 58-56, 57-57.
Kelsey Jeffries (40-10-2) has been around a long time. She took on Claudia Gutierrez (3-1-1) in a 6 round super bantamweight bout. The action was calculated and infrequent as Jeffries picked her spots to score using traditional combinations, while Gutierrez used a good right hand as she was the stalker. One judge scored it 59-55 for Jeffries but was overruled by the remaining two judges who had it a 57-57 draw.
Junior welterweights Manual Mendoza (2-1-1) and Gabriel Pineda (3-0-2) fought to a draw in their 4 rounder.
Guillermo Del Gadillo (4-3-1) won a majority decision and the Pacific Northwest lightweight title over Marco Cardenas (4-4)in a 6 rounder. Neither had a KO punch, but they kept very busy scoring like a pair of Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Del Gadillo had a better body attack which scored plenty of points inside. Scores were 59-55, 58-56, 57-57.
Jerome Jones came from an MMA background and was getting a boxing lesson from Oscar Hernandez,(1-1) until he landed an overhand right which deposited Hernandez on the deck. Jones followed it up with a volley of punches which prompted a stoppage at 2:56 of round two scoring a TKO win for Jones in his debut.
Flyweights Skye Bell (0-2) and Liz McCarthy (1-0) put on a spirited fight in the evening's opener but McCarthy landed more overhand lefts from her southpaw stance to score the unanimous decision.
The bouts were promoted by Patrick Ortiz & Ringside Ticket, and played to a packed house. Boxing returns to Seven Feathers in the summer.

Electrochemical, Photochemical, and Photoelectrochemical Treatment of Sodium p-Cumenesulfonate

The degradation of sodium p-cumenesulfonate (SCS) by electrochemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical methods in aqueous solution of NaClO4, NaCl, and NaClO has been studied. It was found that as a result of NaClO4 electroreduction and photodecomposition, the ions Cl− and ClO3− are formed. These ions undergo transformations into radicals, mainly Cl•, Cl2•−, ClO•−, ClO2•−, and ClO3•−, due to electrochemical and photochemical reactions. It was shown that the interpretation of results of the studies over mineralization processes carried out in the presence of ClO4− cannot be adequate without taking into consideration the reduction of ClO4− to Cl− and ClO3−. Therefore, previous works presented in the literature should be rediscussed on the basis of the new data. Photoelectrochemical mineralization of substrate in NaCl solution at the concentration of 16 mmol L−1 is comparable with the efficiency of the reaction in NaClO4 solution containing more than 8 mmol L−1 of NaClO. Total SCS mineralization was obtained in the photoelectrochemical reactor with a UV immersion lamp with a power 15 W in the period of 135 min and current intensity of 350 mA. In such conditions, the power consumption was about 1.2 kWh per g of TOC removed.

1 Introduction
Hydrotropes are mild surface active amphiphilic organic salts with hydrophobic part comparatively smaller than in the case of conventional surfactant. Hydrotropes exhibit a higher and often more selective ability to solubilization of organic compounds in water. The self-aggregation of the hydrotropes has been considered to be a pre-requisite for a number of applications in various fields such as drugs solubilization (Yalkowsky 1981), chemical reactions (Khadilkar et al. 1995), and separation of organic compounds (Gaikar and Phatak 1999). Hydrotropes are among over 5,000 high production volume chemical substances listed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The consumption of these substances in 2005 reaches ca. 29,000 metric tons in the USA, 17,000 in Europe, and 1,100 in Australia. These compounds are used as additives for household cleaners such as laundry powders and liquids, laundry bleach, dishwashing liquid, toilet cleaners and liquid, powder, gel, and spray surface cleaners. The use of hydrotropes in household laundry and cleaning products raises no safety concerns for the consumers. They are also used as corrosion inhibitors, components of electroplating baths, and as a support for an extraction process (Stanton et al. 2010). The studies carried out on individual hydrotropes or surfactant-hydrotrope mixtures support the fact that hydrotropes are able to form self-aggregates in aqueous solutions known as minimum hydrotrope concentration (MHC), analogous to critical micelle concentration (CMC) for surfactants (Bhat and Gaikar 1999; Bhat and Gaikar 2000).
The electrocatalytic activity of RuO2 coupled with oxygen evolution is very favorable for the photochemical process of pollutants degradation, because the oxygen superoxide anion radicals (O2•−) formed during the photochemical process can produce additional amounts of hydroxyl radicals (Pelegrini et al. 1999).
So far, the literature data concerning the degradations of SCS are not numerous. Kimura and Ogata (1983) studied the decomposition of SCS by the photochemical oxidation (UV light λ > 290 nm) in alkaline aqueous solution with an addition of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). The SCS mineralization was about 38 % after 45 min reaction at room temperature and the following products were detected: cumene, 2-isopropylphenol, 4-isopropylphenol, and 2-phenyl-2-propanol.
SCS very often coexists in wastewater with chloride ions, for example in zinc electroplating baths (Kozłowski et al. 1990). In many studies, the effect of chloride ions on the photoelectrochemical degradation of pollutants was investigated. Xiao et al. (2009) found that the presence of chlorides accelerates degradation of organic compounds in wastewater.
This work presents the results of sodium p-cumenesulfonate degradation in the solutions of NaClO4, NaCl, and the mixtures of NaClO4 and NaClO or NaCl using electrochemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical methods.
2 Materials and Methods
2.1 Reagents
Purified water (double purification using Millipore Milli-Q Plus system)
Sodium p-cumenesulfonate, purity 93 % (Huntsman Holland BV, The Netherlands)
Sodium perchlorate, purity 99 % (Sigma-Aldrich)
Sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), sodium chlorate (NaClO3), and sodium perchlorate (NaClO4), purity 99 % (Chempur, Poland)
Standards for the analysis: sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and sodium acetate (CH3COONa)—(Metrohm Poland).
2.2 Analytical Methods
In order to assess the mechanism of electrochemical oxidation and reduction of SCS, the cyclic (CV) and differential pulse (DPV) voltammetry measurements were carried out using an Autolab Potentiostat PGstat30 (EcoChemie, Holland). A three-electrode cell was applied in all experiments; platinum and titanium covered with TiO2 (70 %) and RuO2 (30 %) electrodes were used as a working electrodes for the oxidation process. The mercury electrode was used as a working electrode for the reduction process. The potential of the working electrode was measured vs. the saturated calomel electrode (SCE), whose standard potential is defined as 0.244 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). Before the measurements, solutions were purged with argon in order to remove dissolved oxygen. During measurements, an argon blanket was kept over solutions.
Differential capacity was measured using the method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (module FRA in Autolab, PGstat30). Electrode potential was changed every 10 mV in the applied potential range. Each measurement was taken on a new drop.
In order to assess the degradation of SCS, the following analytical methods were performed:
Where αTOC is TOC conversion (%), C0 is organic carbon content in initial solution (mg L−1), and C is organic carbon content in solution after reaction (mg L−1).
UV/Vis spectra were recorded in the wavelength range from 190 to 800 nm using UV/Vis Spectrophotometer Shimadzu UV-24001 PC.
Sulfate ion concentration was analyzed by means of high performance ion chromatography (HPIC), using Methorm apparatus equipped with a column (Metrosep A Supp 3—250/4.6). The mobile phase contained acetone (50 %) and water solution (50 %) of sodium hydrogen carbonate (4 mmol L−1) and sodium carbonate (1 mmol L−1).
The total organic carbon (TOC), UV/Vis spectra, and sulfate ion concentration in the solutions were recorded before and after the process.
3 Results and Discussion
3.1 Electrooxidation and Electroreduction
The electrooxidation and electroreduction reactions of SCS at the platinum and mercury electrode were studied by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry in NaClO4 solution. Differential pulse voltammetry is the method with higher resolution, which enables better separation of peaks characterizing subsequent steps of the electrode reaction. Half-wave potential (E1/2) corresponds to the potential of the peak occurring in a differential pulse curve and is characteristic for each of the subsequent steps of the investigated electrode reaction. Basic information about the course of electrochemical reaction is provided by the dependence of the current on the potential.
The above results indicate that the reduction of SCS starts at the potential of −0.8 V vs. SCE and an oxidation at the potential of 1.7 V; however, the oxidation potential of SCS is higher than the potential of oxygen evolution. The current density used in the electrochemical treatment was tenfold higher than it followed from the cyclic voltammograms (from 5 × 10−3 A cm−2 to 1.5 × 10−2 A cm−2). The electrochemical process in water can generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The direct evidence for •OH formation was obtained by the electron spin resonance method (YanQing et al. 2007). The powerful •OH generated electrochemically could effectively degrade organic pollutants, but during the electrochemical degradation of SCS only slight change of αTOC about 5 % was observed. It may be caused by the strong adsorption of substrate on the electrode surface, which is associated with the generation of hydroxyl radicals.
3.2 Photochemical Mineralization
In order to improve the degradation of SCS, electrochemical and photochemical methods were combined.
3.3 Photoelectrochemical Mineralization
UV light and chlorination are two of the most common disinfection methods of water and wastewater. Hypochlorite acid can form hydroxyl and hypochlorite radicals by irradiation with UV light in the range from 200 to 400 nm (Xiao et al. 2009).
During the electrolysis of the solutions containing chloride ions the following reactions may occur Eqs. (11)–(16):
The radicals •OH, Cl•, and Cl2•− are a reactive species which may oxidize many organic compounds. (Hasegawa and Neta 1978; Feng et al. 2007).
Electrochemical and photoelectrochemical studies of oxidation and reduction of organic compounds are often performed in NaClO4 aqueous solution as a basic electrolyte. Kim and Anderson (1994) observed that the presence of ClO4− ions in solution significantly slows down the reaction of photocatalytic oxidation of formic acid. The degradation degree was much higher in the solution without an addition of ClO4− ions. In the work of Zhang et al. (2005), it was observed that during the photochemical and photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of the reactive Brillant Orange K-R, the presence of ClO4− ions lowers the rate of degradation of the compound, whereas the presence of Cl− ions considerably improves the efficiency of the reaction, particularly at higher concentrations of chloride ions.
3.4 Photoelectrochemical Treatment of SCS in Rayonet Photoreactor
Due to a different assessment of the influence of NaClO4 on the effect of photochemical and photoelectrochemical reactions, the studies of SCS degradation in four different solutions containing: NaClO4 (100 mmol L−1), NaClO4 (100 mmol L−1) with the addition of NaClO or NaCl in the concentration range from 0 to 16 mmol L−1, and NaCl in the concentration range from 2 to 16 mmol L−1 were performed. The studies were carried out in an electrolyzer placed in the photoreactor containing 16 lamps emitting radiation at the wavelength of 254 nm, the solution volume was 80 mL and current intensity of 0.3 A.
In (NaClO4 + NaCl) solution (curve 3) along with the increase in concentration of chloride ions, an almost linear increase in αTOC up to about 90 % at Cl− of 16 mmol L−1 is observed. In the case of (NaClO4 + NaClO) solution (curve 1) two ranges of increase in αTOC can be distinguished depending on the concentration of ClO− ions: a relatively sharp within the concentration range from 0 to 6 mmol L−1 and much lower in the range from 6 to 16 mmol L−1. The changes of αTOC during the SCS reaction in the NaCl solution (curve 2) are the same as in (NaClO4 + NaClO) mixture.
The electrons occupy the vacancies in the valence band of TiO2 left by the electrons which have been excited to the conduction band of TiO2. Such processes will be repeated upon the illumination of the cell (Rahman et al. 2007).
Practically the linear dependence of the αTOC on the reaction time in NaClO4 solution and the proportional increase in αTOC with the increase in the concentration of chloride ions in NaClO4 solution suggests that oxidation of the substrate in monocomponent NaClO4 solution can be basically caused by radicals formed from the products of NaClO4 electrochemical reduction and photodecomposition.
To summarize, the discussed results indicate that the efficiency of SCS degradation in each of the considered cases is mainly connected with the Cl• and Cl2•− radicals formed from the products of electrochemical, chemical and photochemical reactions of the basic electrolyte and Cl− and ClO− ions added. According to Brown (1986) the perchlorate ion is electrochemically reduced to the chloride ion at an active titanium electrode in aqueous solutions. Negative current values can be observed on the positive sweep in the potential range from 200 to 700 mV.
Therefore, further studies of SCS degradation in a photoelectrochemical reactor with an immersion lamp in the solutions: NaClO4 (100 mmol L−1), NaClO4 (100 mmol L−1) with the addition of NaClO (2 mmol L−1), and NaCl (16 mmol L−1) were performed.
Additionally, the products of electroreduction, photodestruction, and photoelectrochemical changes of the electrolyte were analyzed.
3.5 Photoelectrochemical Treatment of SCS in Heraeus Photoreactor
Due to the increase in the rate of the substrate destruction in the presence of Cl− and ClO− ions, the studies of photoelectrochemical degradation of SCS were carried out for a larger volume of solution (160 mL) in the reactor with an immersion mercury lamp. The measurements were taken in the following solutions: NaClO4 (100 mmol L−1), NaClO4 containing NaClO (2 mmol L−1, NaClO to SCS ratio 1:1) and NaCl (16 mmol L−1). In the reaction products, TOC and the concentration of SCS, SO42−, and ClO3− ions were analyzed.
Perchlorate can be generated as a final product of the photochemical reaction of aqueous solutions containing NaClO, NaClO2, and NaClO3 salts exposed to UV radiation. However, it can only be formed if the concentration of precursors (NaClO, NaClO2, and NaClO3) is higher than 1,000 mg L−1. Perchlorate is a thermodynamically stable molecule in comparison with NaClO, NaClO2, and NaClO3 (Kang et al. 2006). Therefore, one can conclude that under experimental conditions, ClO3− and Cl− or/and ClO− are the final products of photoelectrochemical changes of NaClO4.
3.6 Optimization of Photoelectrochemical Process with Brandon Method
4 Conclusions
SCS is reduced on mercury electrode in three steps (E1/2 = −1.25, −1.35, and −1.42 V vs. SCE) in the potential range lower than the potential at which hydrogen evolution started. The substrate in acetonitrile is oxidized in two stages (E1/2 = 2 and 2.25 V vs. SCE) on the platinum electrode. SCS is adsorbed on applied electrodes surface during the electrooxidation and electreduction process. Adsorption and a high potential of oxidation and reduction cause low mineralization of substrate during the electrochemical reaction (about 5 %).
It was proved that during electrochemical, photochemical and photoelectrochemical reactions, NaClO4 decomposes forming mainly Cl− and ClO3− ions. It was concluded that the main cause of synergy in the photoelectrochemical destruction of SCS in NaClO4 solution is its photochemical decomposition leading to the generation of Cl•, ClO•−, ClO2•−, and ClO3•− radicals. The increase in the αTOC is proportional to the increase in the concentration of added Cl− ions into NaClO4 solution which is caused by the increase in the number of radicals resulting from the electrochemical, photochemical and photoelectrochemical reactions of Cl− ions and their inhibitory effect on ClO4− reaction on the electrode surface. The photoelectrochemical mineralization of the substrate in NaCl solution at the concentration of 16 mmol L−1 is comparable with the efficiency of the reaction in NaClO4 solution containing more than 8 mmol L−1 of NaClO. Total mineralization of SCS was achieved in the photoelectrochemical reactor with an immersion UV lamp 15 W in the period of 135 minutes and current intensity of 350 mA. Under these conditions the energy consumption was about 1.2 kWh per g of TOC removed.

I'm seeking a little help please....
I need to know what this box in my coupe boot controls and also what the blue/brown cable does?
I'm seeking a little help please....
I need to know what this box in my coupe boot controls and also what the blue/brown cable does?
Some form of joint box... I take it theres 3 separate compartments which are insulated from each other so i dont know what its for apart from an easy way to tap of the positive of the battery...?
The white box is a fuse box, those are fuses.
The broken wire is for the safety battery terminal. In the event of an accident it releases and disconnects the live cable from the battery preventing fires. I'm guessing you have an MRS light on!
Thanks for the input. I cut the wires thinking that they were for the rear speakers , in my defence the rear speaker cable is a blue/brown twisted wire however it is slightly thicker. Since cutting it and resoldering, the airbag warning light remains on.
Sorry yeah, MRS is SRS is Airbags..
When you repair the wire make sure you do a good job as the control unit will measure resistance on those wires to check the component. The airbag light will need to be reset by a dealer/independant etc
Great, thanks for your help. I did a pretty good repair job but I shall double check it tomorrow.
Can it be reset by purchasing, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT, or is it best to get it done at my local indie?
Next time I shall be leaving all things electrical to someone that knows what they're doing! So, am I correct in thinking that the function of cutting the live feed to the battery/deploying the airbag will remain operational if I've patched these cable together correctly My g/f drives the car a lot so I want to ensure we're protected should anything happen.
Thanks for the help
Good stuff MH
The power of a good forum hey?! No one else seems to know what it does then MH comes along to set the record straight!

REDLANDS - State-of-the-art courses in animation and game design are in high demand at Citrus Valley High School.
The projects from the nearly 100 students who have enrolled in these courses will be on display during today's Animation and Game Design Showcase in the school's theater.
The public is welcome to attend the free event, which will feature animated short films/videos and video games designed by CVHS students.
"I would say this is where things are headed," said Lisa Tucker, a Web and game design instructor at Citrus Valley High School. "We are a gaming and animation generation."
Tucker added, "I love to sit and get into a book and read. I don't think today's generation is interested in that. Today gaming is everything."
It is the first year the school has offered a course in animation and just the second year it has offered a course in video game design.
"I haven't seen anything like this at the high school level," Tucker said. "Generally, this is started at the college level."
Tucker said the animation course is similar to traditional art courses. But the majority of the work is completed on a computer. The computer software allows the students not only to do the drawings but to give the drawings movement and sound.
"Some people really love drawing, and that is their talent," Tucker said. "These students really want their characters to come to life. They want their characters to move."
The courses are offered to 10th- through 12th-graders.
"It's a difficult course," Tucker said. "This is not an easy class. But the kids really grasp it, even the 14- and 15-year-olds."
The game design course focuses on two- and three-dimensional graphics.
"It is very powerful," Tucker said. "It is a very robust program."
Tucker said the showcase will be just that.
"These are very beginning students," Tucker said. "I think people will be amazed that a 14-year-old can come in here and, after a few weeks, create an animated short."

Sad news soap opera fans … ABC has just announced the cancellation of 2 of their long running daytime drama series. Fan faves All My Children AND One Life to Live will be dunzo very soon. You may recall that CBS canceled their soap As the World Turns in 2009 … and now this. Once these shows are gone, there will only 4 soap operas left on the air — The Young and the Restless & The Bold and the Beautiful (on CBS), General Hospital (on ABC) and Days of our Lives (on NBC).
ABC is confirming what has been rumored for weeks: All My Children and One Life to Live will end their storied runs in September 2011 and January 2012, respectively. The twin cancellations will leave just four soaps on the air — Days of Our Lives on NBC, General Hospital on ABC, and The Young & The Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful on CBS. AMC and OLTL — which have been on the air a combined 83 years — will be replaced by a pair of generic-sounding talk/lifestyle shows, the food-themed The Chew and the makeover-centric The Revolution. Contain your excitement. "While we are excited about our new shows and the shift in our business, I can't help but recognize how bittersweet the change is," said ABC Daytime president Brian Frons. "We are taking this bold step to expand our business because viewers are looking for different types of programming these days. They are telling us there is room for informative, authentic and fun shows that are relatable, offer a wide variety of opinions and focus on 'real life' takeaways. "All My Children and One Life to Live are iconic pieces of television that have made an indelible mark on our culture's history," Frons continued. "Each of the shows has touched millions and millions of viewers and informed the social consciousness. It has been a privilege to work with the extraordinary teams who brought the residents of Pine Valley and Llanview to life each day, and we thank the cast, crew, producers and most especially the fans for their commitment to the shows through their history."
Dang … that is a bummer. It's very sad that all of these soap operas are dying because they have been a longstanding institution here in the US and once they are all gone (and believe you me, eventually, they will ALL be gone) the face of daytime TV will be changed forever. The only soaps I ever really watched were The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful (which have, consistently, been the most watched soaps on the air) but the storylines on both of those shows have gotten so insultingly bad that I can't even stomach them anymore. If AMC and OLTL have similarly bad storylines, then maybe it's for the best that the shows be canceled. I was impressed that One Life to Live featured a gay storyline pretty prominently last year … but the backlash that ABC received for doing so was very disappointing. I guess it's just the sign of the times. Soap Operas are a dying breed. I wonder which show will be next.

Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia's most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans almost five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide. Tommy's unique style - he calls it simply "finger style" - is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that - and more - on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this "fingerpicker" style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans.

LONDON, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- A 4,000-year-old clay tablet from ancient Mesopotamia revealing details of the ark before Noah was on Thursday displayed at the British Museum in London.
Dr Irving Finkel, an expert on ancient Mesopotamian and cuneiform script with the British Museum, said the clay tablet was "one of the most important human documents ever discovered."
Finkel recently deciphered the tablet which is light brown in color and about the size of a smartphone.
According to the language on the tablet, the boat was a round vessel, and the surface area would have been 3,600 square meters, with walls six meters high. The walls would then have been coated with bitumen.
"It was gigantic, it works out at about two thirds of a football pitch," said Finkel.
"It would have been ideal, it would never sink and it would be a light boat to save all the animals," he added.
This was a giant version of a craft which the Babylonians knew very well, Finkel pointed out, in daily use up to the late 20th century to transport people and animals across rivers.
Finkel said he was "107 percent certain" that the ark described in the tablet had never been built.
He said the cuneiform text was written in about 1750 BC, and is part of a much longer Babylonian story about the flood and what led up to it, also known from the Book of Genesis in the Bible which was written much later.
Later in the year, there will be a television documentary inspired by the discovery of the tablet, showing workers attempting to build it from the instructions on the tablet.

Betreff: st: Problem with simple descriptive statistics
Dear Statalisters,
I have a problem with the bysort syntax (or so I think).
For a set of 18 investment funds, I am trying to figure our for each
period what share of their total assets are held in different asset
classes, using the following code.
The idea was first to compute holdings of each asset class (as
specified by "assetclassno") and period, while summing across all
funds and individual assets. Then I wanted to sum these across all
assetclassno for each period, in order to then compute what share of
the total holdings in that period fell to each assetclassno. And then
I wanted to look at the results for one specific period. Here's the
bysort period assetclassno: egen holdings = sum(value)
bysort period: egen total = sum(holdings)
bysort period assetclassno: gen perc = 100 * holdings/total
keep if period==456
bysort assetclassno: sum perc
egen test = sum(perc)
sum total
sum test
The problem is that the fractions I get for the different assetclassno
(not all assetclasses are being held in that period though) in period
456 are all way too small, and they don't actually add up to what I'm
being told is the total. Strangely though, the test number is still
Does anyone see where my mistake is?
Many thanks and all best,

The perspective-flattening of long lenses can also be used in other circumstances, because they also have the effect of reducing depth of field. You can use this to isolate a subject against its background by blurring it out, as in the shot below.
Compare this with the same shot but taken with a wide angle lens from a much closer range. The relative size of the statue is the same in both shots, but due to the increased depth of field in the wide angle shot, the background, although apparently more distant, is much sharper.
Because of this reduced depth of field, careful focusing with a long telephoto lens can pick out individual subjects amidst cluttered surroundings, such as a single person in a crowd. Note also that the perspective-compression effect makes the street look a lot busier than it really is.
The same scene shot from the same position using a wide angle lens shows the street (High Street in Exeter) in a very different way.
The examples I've used here are extremes, which I have done to emphasise the effects I'm attempting to demonstrate, but in truth a lot of people will only ever use their zoom lenses at either maximum or minimum settings. Don't do this out of habit; instead use the full range of the lens to explore all the different possibilities it offers. A focal length is a useful creative tool, so make the most of it.

Looking for a good all-around board
Hey guys,
I started riding 9 years ago, i rode for 4 years and stopped and have started again last year. Unfortunately the gear I am on now feels outdated.
I am 5'9 and I am on a 157 Santa Cruz board with Drake Mikey Leblanc bindings (the very first ones)
I am looking for a good all around board. I don't hit the terrain park yet, so I don't need a strictly jib board, I ride on the east-coast mostly, so not a lot of powder. I am looking for a responsive board that is comfortable carving and doesnt feel like i am trying to drift a lincoln town car (my current board feels too big and heavy for any sort of fun while riding).
Am I looking for freestyle or freeride board? or a mix in between? what are some good all around suggestions.
throw some boards at me and give me a starting point !
Experts will ask for your boot size, your weight and a budget.
Weight: 150lbs without gear on
Budget: $800 = 600$ board 200$ bindings
so far I am looking at
Lib Tech T.Rice (not sure what the difference is with HP)
Burton Custom Flying V
K2 Fastplant
can anyone with experience with these or other boards chime in? i'm looking for a playful all mountain board that's not too stiff, so i can learn butters/presses and be able to transition to jibbin later on in my riding career.
for now i am leaning toward T.Rice
Given you foot size the Billy Goat will be more nimble than the Rice. The Rice is a midwide, this isn't to say it won't work for you just something to consider.
i am just getting back in the game and im getting overwhelmed with all of the board selection, i just need a good starting point.
NeverSummer Proto CT 154 with some Flux SF45's :thumbsup:
I'd add a never summer heritage to your list.

Postgame Audio: Coach Beilein | Radio | Mitch McGary | Tim Hardaway Jr.
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Crisler Center)
Score: #2 Michigan 93, Eastern Michigan 54
Records: U-M (12-0), Eastern Michigan (6-4)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, Dec. 29 -- vs. Central Michigan (Crisler Center), 7 p.m. (TV: BTN)
Postgame Feature: Stauskas Continues to Shine in Freshman Season
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Leading by as many as 41 points in the game, the University of Michigan men's basketball team (No. 2 AP/No. 2 ESPN/USA Today) used double-digit runs in both halves to break away from Eastern Michigan and secure a 93-54 win on Thursday night (Dec. 20) inside Crisler Center. Five Wolverine players scored in double digits in the game.
Freshman forward Mitch McGary (Chesterton, Ind./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds, while junior guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (Miami, Fla./Palmetto Senior) scored a game-high 17 points and dished out a career-high seven assists. Also contributing in double digits were freshman guard Nik Stauskas (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada/St. Mark's School [Mass.]) with 16 points, freshman guard Glenn Robinson III (St. John, Ind./Lake Central) with 13 and sophomore guard Trey Burke (Columbus, Ohio/Northland HS) with 11.
Michigan shot an 35-of-69 (51 percent) from the floor, including 12-of-24 (50 percent) from behind the arc in the game while holding Eastern Michigan to 22-of-62 (36 percent) from the field. Twenty-six of U-M's 35 baskets were assisted, and 18 of its points were scored off the Eagles' 18 turnovers. The Wolverines also outrebounded the Eagles, 44-30.
With the scored tied, 6-6, a little less than five minutes into the game, a basket by Burke started a 21-2 run, giving the Wolverines a 17-point advantage with 10:21 left in the opening half. U-M held the Eagles scoreless for 7:39 and forced them into five turnovers in the process.
The teams then exchanged baskets over the next five-and-a-half minutes until back-to-back jumpers by Burke extended Michigan's lead to 20, 37-17, at the 4:07 mark. The Wolverines pushed their advantage to 21 after a triple by Stauskas, but the Eagles scored five straight points down the stretch to make the score 40-24 at the half.
The first five minutes of the second half featured even play, until Robinson scored on an old-fashioned three-point play at the 14:20 mark to give Michigan the 20-point advantage (52-32) once again. McGary followed with back-to-back baskets.
Then, at the 5:41 mark, a triple by Robinson started a 17-5 U-M run throughout the remainder of the game. After another three-point field goal by Stauskas and a fastbreak one-handed slam by Hardaway, freshman guard Spike Albrecht (Crown Point, Ind./Northfield Mount Hermon Prep [Mass.]) and senior guard Eso Akunne (Ann Arbor, Mich./Gabriel Richard) drained three-pointers. The Eagles got the last bucket of the game after being held scoreless for more than four minutes, but U-M came away with the lopsided 39-point victory.
The Wolverines will return to Crisler on Saturday, Dec. 29, when they host Central Michigan in their last game before opening up Big Ten play. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Late-summer guests might not suspect a rhubarb filling beneath the lattice crust of this pie. But New Morning Farm of Hustontown, Pa., grows a variety that is available from early spring through September.
For a real vintage feel, bake this pie in an old-fashioned metal pan.
Make Ahead: The dough needs to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days. (Or freeze for up to 1 week.) It needs to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before it is rolled out. The assembled pie needs to be frozen for 30 minutes before it is baked.
Servings: 8 - 10
- For the crust
- Cold water
- Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, plus more for the work surface
- 21 tablespoons (2 sticks plus 5 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Sugar, for sprinkling
- For the filling
- 10 stalks fresh rhubarb, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (about 6 cups; see headnote)
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
For the crust: Combine the water and ice cubes in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, then stir in the salt until dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Distribute the flour evenly in the food processor then scatter the cubes of butter on top. Pulse to form a crumbly mix with pea-size pieces of butter. Stop to break up any large chunks as needed.
Discard the ice cubes; add cold water as needed to yield 2/3 cup water. Gradually add the water to the flour-butter mixture, pulsing just until the dough comes together in a ball. There should still be visible chunks of butter.
Lightly flour a work surface. Turn out the dough and divide in half, then shape each one into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days.
For the filling: Boil a kettle of water. Place the rhubarb in a mixing bowl and pour the just-boiled water over it; drain thoroughly after 3 or 4 minutes (leaving the rhubarb in the bowl), then cool while you roll out the crusts.
Add the sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg, tossing until well blended.
Re-flour the work surface as needed. Roll out one disk of dough to a 13-inch round, leaving the other dough disk in the refrigerator. Carefully fit the rolled-out dough into the pie pan; trim and refrigerate. Roll out the remaining dough; leave it whole or cut it into strips to create a lattice top crust.
Transfer the filling into the bottom crust, scattering the tablespoon of butter over the filling. Lay on the top crust, crimping the edges. Lightly brush the egg over the top, but not the edges, of the pie. Sprinkle lightly and evenly with sugar. Cut slits in the top crust (unless you have made a lattice top). Place in the freezer for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven.
Position a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 375 degrees.
Bake the pie on the middle oven rack (positioned over the baking sheet) for 50 to 60 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown.
Cool before serving.

Mike Woodson concedes Knicks' season has been "kind of a disaster"
Mike Woodson's regular appearance on ESPN Radio turned a bit confessional this week, as the Knicks head coach discussed the challenges of leading a team that has so thoroughly underperformed expectations.
"This year has been, for me, it's been kind of a disaster from a coaching standpoint in trying to get players to compete and play at a high level. That's the frustrating part about it, because I know we're better than what we've shown and we've still got a chance. That's how I look at it. We're two and a half games out of the eighth spot and I've been in this situation before in Atlanta where I had to push a team to get that eighth spot. Once you get in [the playoffs], anything is possible. We've gotta get there."
You can listen to Woodson's full 20-minute interview with hosts Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco at ESPN New York.
We'll leave the Cinderella setup be, as its Woodson's job to believe he can get the most out of this team. Even still, this was an oddly accurate bit of self-assessment for a coach who has been so stubborn throughout the season. This is a coach who actively went away from his team's most effective lineups to serve his personal strategic preferences (or organizational directives -- who can really say?); who continues to employ a defensive system that makes it easy for players to skirt by without accountability; and who gave J.R. Smith so much leeway only to bristle when the shooting guard misbehaved in characteristic fashion. The fault for New York's 19-30 record shouldn't be placed in Woodson's lap, but most of his faulty moves this season have been rather predictable in their failure.
Part and parcel with that is what Woodson addresses more specifically: "get[ting] players to compete and play at a high level." In the past this was Woodson's forte; he was praised as a defensive coach who established productive working relationships with his players, from which came the fruit of their effort and commitment. At some point this season that bond seems to have rotted -- if not to its core, than certainly to whatever degree results in such consistently foul basketball. Whenever the Knicks seem as though they might be turning a corner, they roll out a horrific and lazy defensive showing. Whenever it seems as though they might finally be trusting in the tenets that defined New York basketball as recently as last season, they waffle into alternating stretches of forced offense and creative paralysis. This is a team that either doesn't know what Woodson wants or can't find reason to care for his wants on a consistent basis. Given that so many of the Knicks' rotation players are holdovers from last season, the latter seems more likely. That, more than anything else, might be the biggest shortcoming in Woodson's coaching work this season. One can get away with strategic missteps and rotational gaffes when the team in question is playing hard, particularly in an Eastern Conference this soft at its center. The Knicks' brand of basketball, though, has been neither smart nor committed -- a rather clear indictment of the man hired to instruct and motivate them.
