Hydrothermally stable particles of the metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr) were incorporated into a polysulfone (PSF) matrix to produce mixed-matrix or composite membranes with excellent dispersion of MIL-101 particles and good adhesion within the polymer matrix. Pure gas (O2, N2, CO2 and CH4) permeation tests showed a significant increase of gas permeabilities of the mixed-matrix membranes without any loss in selectivity. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) indicated that the increased gas permeability is due to the free volume in the PSF polymer and the added large free volume inside the MIL-101 particles. The trend of the gas transport properties of the composite membranes could be reproduced by a Maxwell model.
Membrane processes are an energy saving method for the separation of mixtures which occur in nearly all production processes in the chemical industry. Membrane based devices are much smaller and work at lower temperatures compared to conventional separation facilities with distillation, extraction or adsorption processes. Energy savings of up to 50% of the production costs can be reached by application of membrane technology [
The economics of membrane processes is mainly determined by the selectivity and the permeability as the most basic requirements for the choice of membrane materials [
Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) also called composite membranes consist of an inorganic or inorganic-organic hybrid material in the form of micro- or nanoparticles (discrete or dispersed phase) incorporated into a polymer matrix (continuous phase) (
Schematic representation of a mixed-matrix membrane indicating different, also simultaneous possible sizes, shapes and components for the inorganic filler materials. 10 µm is a typical length scale of the particles, compared to the thickness of the polymer film of 100 µm.
There is a strong interest in finding new membrane materials to meet the present and future requirements and challenges in membrane-based separation technologies [
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) [
Yet, understanding the separation properties of inorganic or MOF materials drops behind that of polymer membranes. A projectable inorganic material selection currently represents somewhat of a problem. Therefore, a standard and consistent approach is needed to identify the separation properties of inorganic or MOF materials. Intensive investigation is needed to assign the effects of particle size and geometry, particle pore size, and the polymer/particle interface needs to be examined. At the interface between the polymer and inorganic or MOF particles there is a further complicating phase boundary which makes prediction of the MMM performance difficult. Mechanical and permeability properties of polymers are strongly connected to free volume, which might be different at the boundary layer. This free volume can be either characterized from molecular dynamics simulations or from experiments, where a probe on atomic scale is needed. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is a generally accepted method for investigation of free volume in polymers due to the so-called standard model developed by Tao and Eldrup [
Recently, polymer nanocomposite membranes with the MOF ZIF-8 as a filler and either polyimides (Matrimid, Ultem) [
Here, we report the gas separation properties of a MOF-MMM [
Chromium nitrate nonahydrate, Cr(NO3)3·9H2O (99%) and hydrofluoric acid (analysis grade) were obtained from Acros Organics. Benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2BDC, 99%) was acquired from Aldrich. Dichloromethane (DCM, >99.9%),

The polymer (PSF) (
Polysulfone repeating unit.
To achieve a homogeneous dispersion of the MOF particles the casting solution was treated for 30 min in ultrasonic bath (ELMA Transsonic 310, 35 Hz), afterwards it was stirred for 30 min again. This cycle was repeated three times. Before casting, the dispersion was kept under stirring for 30 more minutes. The dispersion was cast into metal rings, 7 cm in diameter, which were placed on a flat glass surface. All the casting equipment was placed on top of an adjustable table to assure horizontal alignment during the membrane formation. To prevent membrane contamination by dust particles during the evaporation of the solvent, funnels were used to cover the metal. A paper tissue covered the funnels to avoid contamination. This system also exerts some control on the evaporation rate. As soon as all solvent was evaporated, the membrane was removed from the metal ring and the glass surface by flushing the ring with distilled water. The membrane was finally dried in a vacuum oven at 120 °C and 80 mbar overnight. The pure polymer membranes were dried in the same way.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were acquired by coating the membranes cross-sections with gold. The cross sections were obtained by breaking the membranes which were frozen in liquid nitrogen. The coated membrane samples were then imaged using an ESEM Quanta 400 FEG SEM equipped with a secondary electron (SE) detector and operated at 20 keV.
The polymer matrix does not alter the crystalline pattern of MIL-101 (
Single-gas permeabilities were evaluated for O2, N2, CO2 and CH4 using the permeation cell described elsewhere [
From the single gas permeabilities the ideal gas selectivity was calculated according to the Equation (2):
For the pure polymer, four individual membranes with an area of 11.3 cm2 and thicknesses of about 30 µm were analyzed in gas permeation experiments. In the case of the MMMs, samples with an area of around 11.3 cm2 and thicknesses between 30 and 75 µm were analyzed. Each gas permeation was measured three times with the same membrane (pure polymer and MMMs) for error estimation.
Positron annihilation experiments have been performed in a fast-fast coincidence setup with a homemade temperature-controllable sample holder under high vacuum conditions as described, e.g., in reference [
Positron annihilation spectra were recorded at a counting rate of
Schematic presentation of sample preparation for positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS).
Once injected from a radioactive source, positrons form in most polymers hydrogen-like positronium (Ps) states. The pick-off lifetime of ortho-positronium (τo-Ps), is well correlated to the free-volume hole size in polymers. The success of PALS in polymer research is largely due to the so-called standard model developed by Tao and Eldrup [
The interpretation of the o-Ps intensity, which has often been used as a measure for the hole concentration in polymers, is questionable, as the intensity is also affected by the positronium formation probability [
We had communicated the results of a study of polysulfone (PSF) mixed-matrix membranes containing the water-stable MIL-101(Cr). These MIL-101/PSF MMMs exhibited a remarkable four-fold increase in the permeability of O2 to technically needed values above 6 barrer, thereby, keeping the high PSF selectivity for O2 over N2 of 5–6 (

The polysulfone polymer does not appear impressive in terms of its separation performance. However, PSF is employed on the scale of several thousand tons per year for membranes for dialysis and water treatment.

For the CO2/CH4 separation the MIL-101/PSF membranes performed well but cannot surpass membranes made from ZIF-90/6FDA–DAM [6FDA: 2,2-bis(3,4-carboxyphenyl) hexafluoro-propane dianhydride; DAM: diaminomesitylene] [

Isochorus, that is, single gas CO2, N2 and CH4 permeation experiments on MIL-101/PSF membranes show an almost linear increase in permeability for the fast gas CO2 with slight increases in ideal CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities with increasing MIL-101 content. The CO2/N2 separation performance of MIL-101/PSF with 19 wt % filler content surpasses those of most other known MOF-MMMs. The Maxwell model is able to reproduce the approximate effective permeabilities and the ideal selectivity for the O2/N2 and CO2/N2 separation performance of the MIL-101(Cr)/PSF membranes with different filler loadings under the assumption of a higher gas permeability
In PALS experiments the MIL-101/PSF-MMM samples show only minor changes in the lifetime of the third and fourth component, τ3 and τ4 with increasing wt % of MIL-101. But the MMM samples show a decreasing intensity for the third lifetime component and an increasing intensity for the fourth lifetime component paralleling the increased MIL-101 filler content. This indicates that the increased permeability for N2 and O2 in the MIL-101/PSF-MMMs is not due to free volume changes in the PSF but due to the added large free volume inside the MIL-101 filler particles.

Photography seems to be a huge passion around here! Well, Monday's a day to celebrate – it's World Photography Day.
I've had the pleasure of getting to know the organiser of the event over email. Korske Ara is an Aussie photographer, and a great guy. It's been fun working with him.
I just posted about the event on Notes, and have a few suggestions about how you can celebrate. I hope you're keen.
Happy World Photography Day!
Hi guys and girls. We're after some stories, and we need your help.
How have the Envato Marketplaces helped startups? Has one of your items been used by a startup?
We'd love some stories of how a startup has used a Marketplace item to get off the ground. Maybe they purchased an icon, artwork, web theme or e-commerce site. Anything!
It would be great if you could include as much detail as possible. We want real stories!
Besides encouraging everyone here on the forums, we're planning to post some of the best stories over the coming months on Notes and the newsletter. It will be a great way to let people know how awesome our Marketplaces are, and educate them about how we can help.
"We've just added something new for authors to Envato Extras, the best place to find apps, tools and resources to help you get more out of Envato. SalesGenius is a web app that tracks the sales of each of your items and categories, and also offers useful projections and comparisons. Read on to learn how it can help you as an author, and hear the story about how it came to be developed."
Today (30th July) is International Friendship Day – a day to think about our relationships with others around the world. How can you make the most of your friendships with other authors here on the Marketplaces?I put together a roundup of "collaboration posts" on Notes to help you think about that. The article includes:
- "How to" articles from other authors about how collaboration has worked for them
- Interviews from author teams about how they collaborate
- Tutorials from FreelanceSwitch and Tuts+ about collaborating effectively
- Lists of tools that help you collaborate
- And a list of 10 items created through collaboration
There's a new article on Envato Notes by ThemeForest author Andy Wilkerson (Parallelus). It's worth a read:
Living in Flatland: How to Create Website Themes Using Flat Design
As design trends change, it's important to adapt our products to the new styles. Right now it's obvious we've officially landed in Flatland. Everywhere you look there is an explosion of flat design styles. With the release of iOS 7, we now have every major mobile operating system using a flat interface style. Apple was the last of the big three to make the shift, possibly hoping if they waited long enough the Microsoft-inspired "Metro" look wouldn't catch on. It did.
What are your thoughts on flat design? I'd love to hear them.
SIGGRAPH is on in Anaheim from July 21st to 25th. Is anyone going?
I noticed that Mocarg went last year. How did it go? How significant/relevant is this conference to the 3DOcean community?
If anyone does go, I'd be interested in putting your thoughts about the conference on Envato Notes – so let me know.
Hi PhotoDuners, it's Adrian from Audiotuts+
We're planning to do a tutorial called "Audio Basics for Photographers", and I'd love your help planning it. It will be aimed at photographers with no knowledge of audio, music theory or audio software.
- Is this a good idea?
- When do photographers need to know something about audio? What sort of topics should be in the tutorial?
- What are the biggest audio-related problems encountered by photographers? What are the pain points?
Thanks! And if my questions missed something important, I'd love you to add that too.
Thanks guys, sounds great. I'll contact you both individually. I'll start with Randall, but I'll get to you eventually too fxprosound. We definitely want to feature Audition more often on Audiotuts – but with the right sort of tuts.
Hi GraphicRiver community
It seems like the digital world is going flat. Android, Metro, and now iOS7 sport icons with a flat look. There seems to be a few threads already discussing this on the forums.
I imagine that quite a few developers and designers are scrambling to get their own apps looking flatter. I'm planning an article for Envato Notes that will bring them to our Marketplaces, and I need your help!
1. What are some of the best flat icon sets and other resources on the Marketplaces that can help developers achieve a flat look? I'd like to create a collection, and feature some in the article.
2. Have you noticed a growth in sales of your own flat items recently?
3. Besides app designers, who else might be looking for flat icons?
4. Do you have any insights that would be worth quoting in the article?
Thanks everyone, you're awesome. I'll check back in the Aussie morning, and may have some more questions for you.
Hi awesome AudioJungle authors
At Audiotuts+ we generally focus on people who are into… audio! We cover all the major DAWs. No surprises there.
But audio geeks aren't the only people who need to deal with audio. Videographers, app developers, and even photographers find themselves needing to do something audio-related from time to time. And because they use Adobe's Creative Suite or Creative Cloud, the software they want to use is Adobe Audition.
Our regular authors don't have much experience with Audition. I'm hoping some of you do. I'd like you to help me out by writing a tutorial or more, and we'll pay you good dollars for doing so.
So put yourself in the shoes of someone into cameras or coding who is completely new to audio. We're after tutorials that help them with the following topics:
1. "Basic sound cleanup for an audio novice." Imagine they have a voiceover with some hiss, background noise, and lots of uhms and ahs. How can they fix it using Audition?
2. "Create a quick custom background music track for your animation." How would a non-audio person do this with Audition without having to learn too much theory?
If you know Audition inside out, can write clearly, and have some ideas about how to tackle one or both of those topics, let me know in the thread below and I'll get in touch. Thanks!

In its own house. No one has refuted this simple statement. So, if the publishing side does not count this as a "history" publication, all academic arguments are void. The publisher has also not listed "Killing Lincoln" on their novels or literature and fiction pages. The publisher is very clearly and explicitly marketing the book as "history", so I think we are fully justified in saying that Henry Holt and Company has published the book as a work of history, regardless of its evident flaws. And for what it is worth, "Killing Lincoln" was on the New York Times and Los Angeles Times nonfiction bestseller lists, not as fiction. Bruce Trinque Amston, CT

November 10, 2004
In 2003-04 the Amherst College men's ice hockey team finished 11-11-3 overall and 6-10-2 in ECAC East and NESCAC play. The Jeffs went undefeated in their first six games, posting a 5-0-1 mark, winning the Ben McCabe Tournament with a pair of clutch victories over SUNY-Courtland and Trinity College and rising as high as 11th in the national rankings. Despite a loss at then fourth-ranked Norwich University, they bounced back with a 4-2 win over the University of St. Thomas 4-2 on the campus of the University of Minnesota, battled host Gustavus Adolphus College to a 4-4 tie and returned to New England to edge NESCAC foe Trinity, 2-1. After hitting a midseason cold spell, the Jeffs ended the regular season with an offensive flurry, averaging just under five goals per game over their last four contests, including a 5-3 win over visiting Tufts University and a 9-3 win over visiting Connecticut College. The Jeffs earned the No. 7 seed in the NESCAC Tournament and their fifth straight trip to the postseason, but fell at third-seeded Trinity in the opening round.
The Jeffs lose four seniors to graduation - co-captain John McNicholas, defenseman Chris Norqual and forwards Mike Kreger and Josh Hoffman. McNicholas was a defensive mainstay in his senior campaign and a key component of the starting line, while Norqual ranked fourth on the team in points scored (15) and tied for the team lead with 14 assists. Kreger was the Jeffs' fifth-leading scorer last winter with four goals and 10 assists, and Hoffman racked up 10 goals and 14 assists in his four-year career. All four were members of the 2000-01 Amherst team that finished sixth in the nation and second in the NESCAC at 18-5-2 overall and 12-2-3 in conference play.
Amherst returns a veteran group of forwards, highlighted by senior co-captain Beau Kretzman. A three-time All-NESCAC selection and the 2001-02 NESCAC rookie of the year, Kretzman has led the Jeff offense in each of his first three seasons with a combined 57 goals, 47 assists and 104 points. Joining him in the offensive ranks are seniors Scott Aldrich, Bradford Craigen, Marc Russell, Thierry Pauyo and Roy Mabrey, juniors A.J. Greco, Steve Nelson, Jack Greeley and Rob Balanda, and sophomore Sean Ellis. Greco and Nelson provided plenty of offensive firepower in their respective sophomore campaigns, posting 21 points apiece, while Aldrich increased his career totals to 17 goals and 14 assists. Mabrey and Ellis chipped in with six goals and four assists last season as well.
Senior co-captain Jonathan Hill makes the move to defense after tallying 13 goals and 20 assists in three seasons at forward. Hill's toughness and skating ability will be a key component on a youthful defense, which returns fellow senior Bill Jenkins and sophomores Trevor Calamel, Brandon Zangel and Erik Lund. Jenkins is an experienced defenseman, while Calamel is a smart player and Zangel is one of the toughest hitters in the NESCAC.
Junior Sean Lynch and sophomores Dan Smith and Josh Fillman return between the pipes for Amherst. Fillman started nine games in his rookie campaign, collecting 259 saves, while Smith, who will rejoin the Jeffs after sitting out first semester, racked up 464 saves in 15 appearances.
The Jeffs welcome five first-years to the ice this winter - forwards Greg Adamo, Kyle Schoppel and Andrew Schremp and defenders Rob Stevenson and Mike McIntosh. Head Coach Jack Arena '83 is excited about this group and expects them to make an immediate impact.

5 year old Smokes Crack
A former child-care worker is facing a child neglect charge after
she helped her 5-year-old son smoke crack cocaine in her home,
authorities said. Her son told an interviewer that he had taken his
mother's "medicine" three times.
Andrea Wilkey, 40, 700 block of East 93rd Street, was arrested
after the boy tested positive for crack cocaine on Aug. 7.
Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said the boy told his
grandmother what he had done and she took him to St. Vincent
Hospital. According to police, she told health care workers that her
grandson was "acting funny." After a toxicology report revealed
cocaine, a Child Protection Services caseworker was assigned to the
Brizzi termed the case horrendous.
"Sharing a crack pipe with your 5-year-old is no way to bond," he
The good news, he said, is that the boy appears to be OK. At the
hospital, the boy was taken into custody and then released into his
grandmother's temporary care.
This report describes a 10-month-old infant girl who died of
cocaine poisoning. The infant was found apneic and in ventricular
fibrillation after the parents summoned rescue personnel and claimed
she had ingested rat poison. The parents later admitted that 2 hours
before calling for assistance, the infant's 2-year-old brother was
found eating "crack" cocaine and also feeding it to the infant.
Investigators found "crack" cocaine throughout the house and in the
infant's crib. At autopsy, the infant had two pieces of "crack"
cocaine in the duodenum. The brain exhibited a markedly thinned
corpus callosum. Toxicologic examination showed high concentrations
of cocaine in the blood and in other specimens. The manner of death
was classified as homicide because the infant was willfully placed
in a hazardous environment with an easily accessible toxic
substance, medical attention was deliberately delayed for 2 hours,
and medical personnel were deceived when they were falsely told she
had ingested rat poison. These features were thought to constitute
neglect. The toxicologic characteristics of this case are unique.
There are numerous reports of passive cocaine inhalation in infants
and children less than 5 years of age, but ingestion of cocaine in
this age group has rarely been documented. This age group also has
no reported deaths due to cocaine ingestion and no cases of "crack"
cocaine ingestion. The high concentrations of cocaine seen in this
case, combined with the "crack" cocaine found in the duodenum,
indicate ingestion as the route of exposure. The thinned corpus
callosum in this case may be a consequence of intrauterine cocaine

The Ivy Hotel
205 E Biddle Street, Baltimore, MD
0.3 mi from
I have never felt more comfortable at a hotel as I did here. There were a few times during our trip I looked at my husband and said "I feel like I'm staying at my grandmother's house" The staff and the overall feel of the hotel were so welcoming. I would highly recommend this place! The elevator was very small and seemed to take a very long time to get to each floor. But honestly that was only a minor ding in this wonderful hotel!
It was cold, not a huge problem bcs there was a space heater provided. it wasn't terribly comfortable. Lobby/reception was a bit weird. Kind of felt like i was staying in an 'hourly' hotel. it was real NOISY - people above me walking around their room into the wee hours, the trains running by all night, the sirens, the helicopters…i barely slept. then I woke up to a banging sound – workmen installing/fixing the faux wood floor in the hallway @ 7:30! awesome. i liked that it's a re-use of a historic building and close to penn station. however, the reno was cheaply done and seems to be getting shabby already. the rooms are odd as is the vibe of the place. i wouldn't ever stay here again
We stayed here for a weekend getaway to inner harbor. We were able to walk from the hotel to the harbor. It took about 30 min, but we didn't mind at all. Our room was very clean. And bigger then we expected. The staff was very helpful also. Breakfast
Location The heat didn't work well. If I shut the bathroom door it would be a ice box but if I left it open the sun shined right on the bead. It was a lose lose situation. The heater was not working properly and now I'm sick.
Friendly helpful staff. Great location for great price
Price, location Parking stoppers too high and the car can get stuck if you go a little too close.
The Price Staff completely unfriendly and unwelcoming, constantly make guests feel like they are under surveillance. Have a weird rule that no visitors are allowed in the rooms. Also, they sneak in a $100 deposit for rooms once you check-in. They scan your ID and Card information as well. Very sketchy.

A Short History of the PedoNuker
PedoNuker is an anorak that has forever raped his place into the Far-Ums mythology, a summary of how he did is provided in the next section.
Anyway, a really long time ago Warhead raped another one of his mom-slaves, this one from Nyphilis. As a quick reminder, Nyphilians are all injected with the virus STD Nyphilis at birth to distinguish from foreigners but use a genetic engineering program to breed (this would remove any ill effects created by the virus). So when Warhead's contraceptive or whatever he uses failed that fateful day, his seed and the virus had an epic battle in pedomom's uterus. This resulted in a twisted, perverted, ultra-idiotic immortal even the wallies refuse to be with: PedoNuker.
Of course, FedoNuker takes the form of "President Austin", so if that's not pedo's true form, then why isn't it reflected back on him? Well, the pedomom escaped from warhead's grasp soon after, and by the time Warhead saw Pedonuker for the first time, he was already assuming the form of president Austin to run false-flag and generally defame and ruin the Nyphilian empire from which he was deposed from. But his Warhead heritage is reflected in his unmasked face, a transparent skull.
As stated many times, pedonuker is a shapeshifter, able to change from his true form to impersonate a variety of people. Some of his more popular forms are copying president Austin and belugas.
Pedonuking on the Far-Ums
As PandoraNuker, he tried to rule-lawyer his way into winning King of the Hill, he Produced a forum battle whose entire story premise decided to take the Immortal War and ride it doggy-style, after being banned, asked for a second chance, and did exactly the same thing again. Somewhere during all this, a rather handsome devil came up with the nickname Pedonuker for everybody's least favorite forum goer, and it stuck. He's also stalking/eye-raping aoffan32's 13 year old cousin. He was later one of the select few to have been banhammered by stubby, but returned somehow to plague the far-ums once again.
As beluga, he revealed his weird liking for belugas and started a pointless war with the NSST, eventually degrading down into a shithole of pure, refined, butthurt and anorakiskness. This led to stubby awarding him with a (censored) beluga porn banner. This in turn led to his ultimate rage, and made him abandon that account.
A minor alt known as rekuNarodnaP appeared and feebly attempted to jack the art contest, but was swiftly deleted by stubby for not being entertaining enough.
Finally, as Colette, he is relatively tame compared to his previous incarnations but has earned enough hatred from his previous deeds to last him another account.
Pedo nuker got butthurt
So Stubby perma-banned his entire ISBN region so he couldn't make a new account and come back. (he since hasn't updated the banlist. Various theories range from laziness to entertainment to trolling the forum)
But the weird thing is that he keeps coming back to chat, every day for months, to remind us that we don't like him. What bizarre combination of mental deficiencies leads someone to do that? It's like a creepy stalker ex-girlfriend, except there was no dating in the first place.

Also, one of fedonuker's acolytes has captured an anal disruptor and he may be secretly mass-producing it. Silverdream has vowed to stop such action if done.

Most people found Adderley out sooner or later, but I had detected the man's true nature from the very beginning.
By the bye tell me what are a Mr. Adderley and a Miss Adderley to her?
Was there really anything in that story, or was it suggested by the unpleasant reputation of Adderley?
And poor Mr. Adderley could only beseech Mr. Sidney to take care of him.
"Surely that is from Singapore," muttered Adderley, taking up the parcel.
I asked with curiosity, for I myself had often wondered what had become of Adderley.
That the hand had been in the box when I had taken it up from Adderley's table I could have sworn before any jury.
There was something furtive, secretive, about Adderley's entire mode of life.
She looked at Adderley as though she would gladly have slain him!
Adderley put down the bowl and turned rapidly as I rose from my seat.

Oh, the dream of taking your dog to the park, taking him off the leash, and playing fetch without him running away. For some dogs this can be a reality. Unfortunately, for others, the instinctual desires to smell and track will make it difficult to trust their "off-leash" freedom. I tell customers that off-leash obedience is NOT for every dog, so be sure that your dog has mastered the "come" command before attempting any off-lead work.
Off-leash obedience takes time, repetition, and your dog's awareness that YOU are the pack leader. Through daily exercises and by using a stern-voiced recall, followed by a treat and strong praise/affection, your dog may have what it takes to play fetch unleashed. To see if your off-leash dream can become a reality, follow the simple tips below:
1. Off-leash at your local baseball diamond. A great way to get your dog prepared for off-leash obedience is to work with him at an enclosed baseball diamond. Find a local ball diamond and arrive early or late in the day to ensure you will be the only ones there. Go prepared with a leash and poop bag to pick up after your dog. Enter the ball diamond and be sure ALL gates are closed behind you. Release your dog from the leash and begin to walk the perimeter of the park. After only a few times of this routine, your dog will begin to follow/come to you. You can also practice running backwards combined with the "come" command in the ballpark. For a local ball diamond near you. check out http://phoenix.gov/parks/parks.html.
2. Fifty-foot lead. Next, your dog must link the off-leash connection at the ball park to the eventual freedom in an open park/field setting. To achieve this, purchase a 50-foot training lead and go to your local park or greenbelt and tie one end of the lead to your dog and the other to your waist. The purpose of this long lead is to teach your dog that he has a 50-foot radius in which to roam. If he goes straight right, you go straight left. Just as the lead is about to get taut, you will command "Come!" and continue walking in the opposite direction as your dog. In time, a boundary will be set, and your dog will not exceed the 50-foot radius. Practice this exercise often until your dog no longer exceeds the entire length of the 50-foot lead.
3. Playtime with dogs already off-leash trained. With your dog now familiar with a 50-foot boundary, it's time to acclimate him to a play environment with dogs already trained to be off-leash. I often help customers with this by bringing my two Australian Shepherds. Having dogs that stay close to the handler off lead will keep a new dog close to the pack 90 percent of the time. If you see any oncoming passersby with or without dogs, leash up your dog to ensure they don't run. If your dog begins to stray from the pack on this exercise, you may want to have a 4-foot lead attached just to stop your dog. If your dog roams and doesn't stay with the pack, repeat tips 1 and 2 for a few more weeks.
4. Finally, off leash with lead still attached. You're almost there. Now that your dog knows its boundaries and has run with an off-lead trained pack, you now can do the final test. Pick an early morning and go to your local park/field. Take some tasty treats and a ball with which to play fetch. Be sure no other passersby are near and drop your lead. Have your dog explore with the lead ON to be sure you can stop him if he strays. After you're sure the boundary is being obeyed, you can then remove the leash and your dream has come true.
Off leash obedience can be achieved with time and patience. As stated earlier, this is NOT for every dog. After you have tried tips 1 and 2 you will have good idea if your dog will have the capacity to achieve off-leash obedience. Please also be aware of your local OFF LEASH LAWS. I'd recommend off-lead work ONLY for exercises like fetch or general retrieval. Otherwise, for safety and dog etiquette, have your dog remain leashed.

Re-edit hero Rayko teams up with the little-known Dynamicron for this four-track scalpel trip into the murky world of 80s power-pop, Eurobeat and skewed Balearica.

Dynamicron, meanwhile, goes for a heavier sound on his two cuts, the booming bottom end throb of "JukeBox Hero" (80s powerpop goes disco-house, anyone?) and guitar solo-laden "WorkingClass Hero" (yep, an edit of a cover of Lennon's "Working Class Hero").

'Total Recall' Reviews Are In: What the Critics Are Saying
In Len Wiseman's revamped version, Colin Farrell stars as lead character Douglas Quaid — a role originally filled by Arnold Schwarzenegger — alongside Kate Beckinsale (Quaid's wife), Jessica Biel (a rebel fighter) and Bryan Cranston (the corrupt Chancellor Cohaagen).
The mind-bending tale — scripted by Kurt Wimmer and Bryan Cranston and based on a short story by the dystopian fantasist Bryan Cranston — is set in an end-of-the-21st-century post-apocalyptic world. Earth has been devastated by chemical warfare, leaving only two livable areas — United Federation of Britain and the Colony — connected by a tunnel through the planet's core. Quaid, a down-on-his-luck factory worker, tries to transform dreams into reality through a form of technology called Rekall.
The remake has a lot to live up to next to its iconic Paul Verhoeven-helmed predecessor.
So how does the new film size up?
While some critics applaud the high-energy, star-studded reboot, others criticize a film they claim doesn't compare to the original masterpiece.
Some suggest the non-stop action overshadows any traceable storyline. "The movie has a lot of chasing, shouting and fighting, carried out in crowded, over-scale frames without much regard for either action-film effectiveness or narrative coherence," said the NY Times. "So much information is thrown at you in such a haphazard fashion that your ability to care dwindles along with your willingness to enjoy any of it.
The reviewer admitted, "After less than 24 hours, I can't recall anything Mr. Farrell said or did, other than run from Ms. Beckinsale, sometimes in the company of Jessica Biel."
The LA Times agrees. "After too many hard-to-follow chases out windows and doors and up and down ultramodern elevator shafts…our systems end up on overload," reads the review. "The fun is fun while it lasts — it just doesn't last long enough."
CNN says, "In short, Underworld director Len Wiseman has ransacked bigger, better imaginations to produce something that looks and sounds like a wholesale rip-off."
And others agree that the film brings nothing new to the table. "The original Arnold Schwarzenegger movie was perfection — a moonbeam James Bond better than any actual James Bond movie," said the New York Post. "The central pleasure of the movie was its twists, and as the same twists got rolled out in the remake, I kept thinking: 'Yes, that was surprising to me in 1990.'"
San Francisco Chronicle, in the end, gives Total Recall an all-around thumbs-down: "For all of its dazzlingly rendered cityscapes and nonstop action, this revamped Total Recall is a bland thing — bloodless, airless, humorless, featureless. With or without the triple-bosomed prostitute."
Washington Post thinks the Farrell-led remake has a leg up on the original. "While it may not be a fully realized take on Dick's forward-thinking work, it's still a far better film than the Verhoeven version," writes the critic.
And while it may not pack surprises, the Chicago Sun-Times still sees a successful movie. "Total Recall is well-crafted, high energy sci-fi…It never touched me emotionally, though, the way the 1990 film did, and strictly speaking, isn't necessary."

America's Next Top Model 12
Nijah becomes the third girl cut from 'America's Next Top Model'
By John Bracchitta, 03/19/2009
Nijah, an 18-year-old aspiring model from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, was revealed to be the third runway wannabe eliminated from
America's Next Top Model
twelfth season during last night's broadcast on The CW
"I'm disappointed in myself. It hurts, to say goodbye I'm gonna miss the girls a lot," Nijah said following her elimination. "This competition has opened my eyes to a lot of things... This is gonna open a lot of doors for me."
America's Next Top Model
third twelfth-season episode began with the 11 remaining girls returning to their townhouse following the
of Jessica, an 18-year-old student from Bradenton, FL. After being criticized for being too emotionless in her photos -- specifically with her eyes -- Nijah committed to try and rectify the problem before her next date with the judges.
"I want the judges to see my personality, so I'm willing to work on that," she said. "I'm not boring, I'm trying to work on my intensity. I'll have it right next week."
The following day, the girls traveled to an old mansion where they met with runway expert and judge J. "Miss J" Alexander to learn the basics of runway walking. After stressing that the girls have "pace, poise, elegance and smooth" to their walk, Miss J watched each of the girls perform their walks and gave them additional pointers. Among the more notable fixes that Miss J made to the girls walks were his attempt to lessen the shoulder jiggle of Sandra, a 19-year-old student from Rockville, MD, and putting books on the head of Allison, a 20-year-old artist from New Orleans, LA, to improve her posture.
The girls were also visited from former ninth-season
America's Next Top Model
Bianca Golden
Chantal Jones
who added in their two cents as well.
That night back at the house, tensions rose when a game of Truth or Dare resulted in Natalie -- a 19-year-old student from Palos Verdes, CA who had begun agitating some of the girls with her incessant chatter regarding her previous modeling experience -- revealing that she felt Tahlia, an 18-year-old student from Phoenix, AZ, had the weakest photo from the previous challenge.
After leaving the game, Tahlia -- who was already lacking confidence in herself after her performance during the previous round -- vented that she was no longer a fan of Natalie.
"When someone says something like that, yeah it hurts," Tahlia said. "I don't have modeling experience and I know I'm the underdog, but it rocks my confidence a little."
For the girls' next challenge they were able to put Miss J's runway tips to use after they learned they would be walking in a fashion show featuring designer Jill Stuart's Spring runway collection as Miss J and
magazine editor-in-chief Ann Shoket watched in the audience.
During her walk, Natalie attempted to separate herself from the other girls by making a spin in the middle of her walk. However, the move only seemed to elicit a cringe from Miss J and not much else. Miss J was also impressed by the walk that Fo, a 19-year-old student from Albuquerque, NM, exhibited, whispering to Ann that she had followed his advice well.
Following the show, Miss J, Ann and Jill met with the girls. While impressed with many of the girls walks, Stuart revealed that Natalie had won the challenge despite her impromptu twirl.
"I screwed up and still my walk proved to be better than theirs," a confident Natalie said following her victory. "That kinda might be a little intimidating you know?"
The following day the girls traveled to Columbus Circle where they met with photo shoot director Jay Manuel, who arrived on a New York Sightseeing tour bus, for their photo shoot. The girls were told that, with photographer Mike Rosenthal, they would be divided into groups and take pictures from the bus in specific locations in Manhattan while portraying characters who would be seen in that section of the city.
Fo and Aminat, a 21-year-old student from Union, NJ, where the first group to have their shoot. After the bus traveled down to Wall Street, the girls posed as brokers with computers and cell phones.
Nijah was paired up with Kortnie, a 24-year-old non-profit organizer from Houston, TX, and they were told to pose as SoHo artists after the bus traveled south of Houston St. to the famed shopping district. While Kortnie had few issues with the shoot, Nijah ran into larger problems, with Mike warning her that she was lacking energy and looked like a mannequin.
Later, Nijah admitted to being a bit thrown by having to share the frame with another model.
"It's one thing to go on a photo shoot and you're the center of attention. It's another thing to go on a photo shoot and you have to work with somebody else and you have to make sure that you get a picture where u both look good," she said.
Celia, a 25-year-old designer in fashion sales from Cynthiana, KY, and Sandra, a 19-year-old student from Rockville, MD, went next, posing as nannies with baby carriages in front of a museum. While they were a bit unsure how to portray a nanny in a modeling shoot, the girls still managed to impress Jay and Mike.
Allison and London, an 18-year-old student from Arlington, TX, posed next as Upper East Side snobs after the bus stopped outside a designer store. While London was able to jump into her character with little trouble, Jay had to work with Allison, who he noticed had a hard time playing "a convincing bitch."
Tahlia, Natalie and Teyona, a 20-year-old loss prevention representative from Woodstown, NJ, were the final group to pose. After the bus settled in Times Square, the girls were told to portray excited tourists. While Jay was not overly impressed with Natalie's performance, he called Tahlia's strong performance the "shocker of the day."
The following day, the girls traveled to panel where they met with
America's Next Top Model
host and judge
Tyra Banks
as well as Miss J,
Paulina Porizkova
, Nigel Barker, and Jill, who served as a guest judge.
Paulina criticized Kortnie and Nijah's photo for not remotely conveying that they were supposed to be "SoHo artists." Nigel added that Nijah "[pulled] this picture down for me. It looks really model-y and I don't really believe the shot with you." Tyra piled on as well, saying Nijah looked "uncomfortable in the shot."
The judges were much more complimentary of Celia and Sandra's shot, with Miss J saying it was "so editorial, I absolutely love it." Nigel said that their portrayals in no way resembled nannies, but added that he was actually glad that they had avoided such a look. Tyra was quite complimentary as well, especially when it came to Sandra.
"Sandra, for me you steal this picture. You're in almost complete profile with the attitude in your face," she said. "You make this whole picture come alive."
For Allison and London's shot, Tyra said that the girls failed to pull upon such pop culture references such as Paris Hilton or Gossip Girl and instead led to a dull photo. Allison came under additional fire, with Nigel saying that it seemed like she was over thinking her shoot while Paulina said she looked like a "hung over Olsen twin" in her picture.
Following the judges' deliberation, Tyra revealed that Sandra had taken the best picture of the shoot and would have her shot -- with Celia airbrushed out of the picture -- displayed as digital art in the girls' townhouse. She then proceeded to reveal that Aminat, Tahlia, Fo, Celia, Kortnie, London, Teyona and Natalie were all still in the running to become
America's Next Top Model
next winner and that either Allison or Nijah, who were in the bottom two, would be eliminated from the competition.
Tyra first addressed Allison on why she had fallen into the bottom two.
"Allison when you walk into a room people go 'Whoa.' That's different, that's interesting, I've never seen that before, so the judges go 'Hmm that's something special there.' But what we didn't see in your photo was something special there," Tyra said. "Is it a fluke that happens in pictures sometimes? Because what they saw today was quite depressing for them."
Tyra then turned her attention to Nijah.
"What they see in your pictures is a beautiful girl but they're trying to get back to that girl in the first week," Tyra said. "That photo was so beautiful, so sparkly, such shine in those eyes, such tension in your body, and they wanna see that girl."
"So who stays?" she asked, before revealing that Allison would remain in the competition while Nijah had been eliminated.

After a decade of watching the Internet change everyone's lives (including mine), it never ceases to amaze me. The Internet gave me a job and a career. I pay my bills online, follow stocks, buy DVDs and books, argue about the Celtics with complete strangers on a message board, send streaming video of my kid back home to my parents, get almost all my sports information, keep in touch with dozens and dozens of family members, friends, acquaintances and co-workers every week. There's always some new way to kill time. But YouTube ranks among the greatest Internet developments ever, right up there with iTunes, Napster, free porn and e-mails with "Vegas?" in the subject heading. For instance, last week I was watching a YouTube clip of Rowdy Roddy Piper smashing a coconut against Superfly Snuka's skull on YouTube and marveling at the magnitude of the moment: Not that it was a defining TV moment of my adolescence, but that I only needed to type in the words "Piper's Pit" on YouTube's search engine and the clip popped right up on my laptop. Unbelievable.

|Historic Pittsburgh Video Collection: Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines
Title: Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines | Date: ca. 1975 | Duration: 00:57 | Creator: Bill Beal
Description: The Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines were among the many inclined planes (also known as funiculars) that carried passengers, animals, and cargo from Pittsburgh's South Side to the top of Mt. Washington. Opening in 1870, the Monongahela Incline is the oldest in existence. From 1884 until 1935, an additional incline operated alongside the Monongahela, which carried horses and automobiles. It is operated by the Port Authority of Allegheny County.
As more roads were built along Mt. Washington and automobile ownership increased, passengers on the inclines dwindled. In 1962, the Duquesne Incline Plane Company closed the Duquesne Incline (with the solid red cars), which had been in operation since 1877. However, two years later a citizens group, The Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline, repaired and reopened the incline.

A recent story on Boston.com, the website for The Boston Globe, highlighted the fee-grabbing changes recently implemented by the three biggest retail banks in Massachusetts.
At Bank of America, Citizens Bank and Sovereign Bank, early-withdrawal fees have increased in the past few months. Bank of America and Citizens Bank now charge flat fees for cashing in a CD early, according to the story, "Getting out of a CD early will cost you."
From the story:
Bank of America, the state's largest bank, used to charge customers between three months' and one year's interest if they withdrew money early. But in February, the bank started charging a $25 fee, plus 1 percent of the withdrawn amount for CDs that mature in less than a year, and 3 percent for longer-term deposits.
Citizens Bank used to charge customers between 90 and 180 days of interest, depending on the length of the CD. But it now charges customers a flat $50 fee -- plus a penalty at least as large as the old one.
It just seems to add insult to injury to savers. Banks offer bottom-of-the-barrel rates chained to the threat of parsimonious early-withdrawal fees.
Of course, they have that right. And consumers have the right to not do business with them if they dislike the terms of the agreement. Many banks and credit unions offer far better terms when it comes to CDs.
When shopping for a CD, savers should try to get the highest possible CD rate but they also must be aware of the early-withdrawal penalty.
An onerous early-withdrawal penalty could keep your savings stuck in the low-yield dustbin while interest rates soar.
After all, the effort of comparison shopping for the highest CD rate will be negated if you end up forfeiting not only all the interest earned but some of the principal should you need to cash in early.
One option for CD shoppers is a liquid CD. But liquidity comes at a price; typically the yields will be lower but you can abandon ship, with some caveats, nearly at will.
Bankrate released a survey of liquid CDs in April. Though none will set the world on fire, the flexibility may be worth it. Read the survey here.

Even after the recent stumble, U.S. equity markets are on fire this year. The S&P 500 has generated a total return (that's price appreciation plus dividends) of 17.6% for the year-to-date as of Aug. 21. On a price basis alone, the Nasdaq Composite is up more than 20%.
That long-and-strong performance is naturally crushing short sellers — those punters who are betting on the market or individual stocks to go down. In fact, the shellacking they're taking is rapidly becoming one of historical proportions. According to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal, short sellers are suffering their worst losses in at least a decade.
Get this — the short sellers' calls have been so bad, they could hardly have done worse if they tried to lose money. As WSJ reports:
"In the Russell 3000 index, the 100 most heavily shorted stocks are sharply outperforming the average returns of stocks in the index, according to a Journal analysis of data provided by S&P Capital IQ. The shorted stocks are up by an average of 33.8% through Aug. 16, versus 18.3% for all stocks in the index."
Of course some shorts have been much more painful than others. With that in mind, here are five soaring stocks crushing short sellers:
Tesla Motors
Year-to-date gains: 353%
Float Short (as of 7/31): 32%
Elon Musk's revolutionary electric car company Telsa (TSLA) is one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the U.S. market, and it's not hard to see why. Can you name the last successful new car company, much less one that sells super-pricey vehicles for which there is still no established market?
Furthermore, Tesla trades for an eye-watering 90 times forward earnings. That's another area of sticker shock when you consider the compound annual earnings growth forecast stands at just 19% a year for the next five years.
As of July 31, nearly a third of Telsa's float — or 19.8 million shares — was sold short, up from 18.5 million shares in the prior month. And it has been a disastrous trade. Tesla's stock is up more than 350% so far this year.
Year-to-date gains: 200%
Float Short (as of 7/31): 43%
The well-regarded purveyor of online and mobile real estate information and listings gets no love from the shorts — and you can see their point. Zillow (Z) was barely profitable last year and is forecast to post a net loss for the current year.
Zillow's stock also looks preposterously expensive. The forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is a stratospheric 154, while the long-term growth forecast stands at just 30%.
That has shorts piling on hard. Nearly 43% of the float — or 5.7 million shares — was sold short as of July 31, down slightly from 6.1 million a month earlier. Meanwhile, the stock has nearly tripled in 2013.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
Year-to-date gains: 100%
Float Short (as of 7/31): 38%
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) hit the jackpot with the whole Keurig K-Cup brewing system … and has always been a favorite of short sellers. A look at the stock's incredible volatility helps explain why.
In the last couple of years, GMCR has been all over the place, from less than $20 a share up to $110 and back again. (It currently fetches about $83.)
Jumping on that volatility (as well as contributing to it), is the 38% of the float sold short as of July 31. That comes to 31.8 million shares, up a notch from 30.9 million in the previous month.
Oh, and GMCR has doubled this year.
Year-to-date gains: 93%
Float Short (as of 7/31): 44%
Bill Ackman's very public hammering of the company has made Herbalife (HLF) the most famous short in recent memory — and it is squeezing the hell out of the hedge fund manager.
Maybe HLF is is a pyramid scheme, as Ackman contends, and maybe it's not. One thing that is for certain is that Herbalife has became ground zero in a clash of billionaire titans when Carl Icahn took a long position.
Icahn's been right so far in this trade, but that hasn't dissuaded folks from following Ackman's play. A full 44% of Herbalife's float was sold short as of the end of July, or nearly 31 million shares. That's up from 30.2 million a month earlier.
Meanwhile, the stock has soared 93% thus far in 2013.
Nu Skin
Year-to-date gains: 135%
Float Short (as of 7/31): 3.7%
Like Herbalife, Nu Skin (NUS) is a multilevel marketer of nutritional and personal care products. Also like Herbalife, Nu Skin is under fire for its business practices and product claims.
This is an even bigger problem considering the company already has a reputation for being kind of sleazy … and if a couple of ex-husbands of the company's co-founder are going public with all sorts of dirty and scandalous stories.
Too bad the trade has been such bad news for the bears. Nu Skin's 135% year-to-date gain has already squeezed most of the shorts out. At the end of July, 1.9 million shares were short, or 3.7% of the float. At the start of 2013, more than 9 million shares were sold short.
Don't be surprised if the other shorted stocks in this group follow Nu Skin's lead. After all, even bears know when to quit.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Chris Hemsworth on Co-Star Kristen Stewart, Snow White Sequel (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW)
During Celebuzz's sit down with Snow White and the Huntsman star Chris Hemsworth, he had nothing but praise for his co-stars — even Kristen Stewart, despite the fact she just about broke his nose, then bragged about it!
"[Kristen] has such a strong sense of who the character was and a strong idea of right and wrong and justice — and Snow White needed to have that," Hemsworth, 28, said about working with the younger Stewart, 22.
"She wasn't sitting on the fence… she knew where she wanted to take it. There's nothing worse than someone who doesn't want to commit."
But which costar did Chris have a misstep with?
Sam Claflin! Or rather, it was the Prince himself who got tripped up during filming.
Chris told Celebuzz:
Sam Claflin is hilarious. It's funny, he was working with Kristen, I was working with Charlize…by the time we got to do something together it was the first time we've had male bonding, and it became a couple of kids in high school– real stupid boy humor and ridiculous. We have this scene where we come in on horseback and storm the castle, neither of us know what we're doing on a horse… We come charging in, we're supposed to jump off the horse. Just before the take they said, 'Ride in, jump off, swing the axe' we're like, 'We didn't rehearse this!' and, 'Action.' We're off and my horse has gone this way, he gets off his horse, foot caught in the stirrups, he drags along the ground, I stand on him. It was The Comedy of Errors.
Even though Snow White and the Huntsman doesn't hit theaters until June 1, the Australian born leading man is game for a sequel if it does well.
"If everyone wants one then absolutely — You know there's unfinished business for a few reasons," Hemsworth added.
"I had such a great time making this and in a heartbeat, would jump back on and make another one."
Check out more from Chris and watch him reenact the moment when Kristen hit him in the nose in the video above! If missed, check out part one down below. Chris ponders "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Summer maximum temperature in northern France over the past century: instrumental data versus multiple proxies (tree-ring isotopes, grape harvest dates and forest fires)
- First Online:

- Citations
- 234 Downloads
Changes in maximum spring and summer temperature are expected to have impacts on plant phenology and the occurrence of forest fires. Homogenised instrumental records of maximum spring and summer temperature are available in northern France for the past century, as well as documentary records of grape harvest dates and forest fire frequencies. Here we provide a new proxy of seasonal climate obtained by the analysis of latewood tree ring cellulose isotopic composition (δ18O, δ13C and δD), from 15 living oak trees (Quercus petraea) sampled in the Fontainebleau forest, near Paris. For the past 30 years, we have conducted a study on the inter-tree (for oxygen isotopes) and inter-station (for oxygen and hydrogen) isotopic variability. Multiple linear regression statistical analyses are used to assess the response function of documentary and tree-ring isotopic records to a variety of climatic and hydrological parameters. This calibration study highlights the correlation between latewood tree-ring δ18O and δ13C, grape harvest dates and numbers of forest fire starts with maximum growing season (April to September) temperature, showing the potential of multiple proxy reconstructions to assess the past fluctuations of this parameter prior to the instrumental period.

text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 09/30/2013 settlement date, which shows a 730,100 share decrease in total short interest for Global Payments, Inc. ( GPN), to 3,115,478, a decrease of 18.99% since 09/13/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for GPN at the 09/30/2013 settlement increased to 599,509, as compared to 471,647 at the 09/13/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 5.20, a 36.26% decrease from the 8.15 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.

The song in question is "All About That Bass," an L.A. Reid shepherded anthem courtesy of 20-year-old parvenu Meghan Trainor.
The dignity of a parvenu cat admitted for the first time to unknown luxury is a lesson.
It is the repose and not the struggle of the parvenu that confounds us.
In 1735 another novel, Le Paysan parvenu, was begun, but this also was left unfinished.
And he, son of a parvenu, led the life of a rich, elegant idler.
When someone said in his presence that M. Thiers was a parvenu, not parvenu, but arriv, he remarked.
The fellow will detect me for a "parvenu" long before we reach Malaga!
The high-born wealthy would treat me as a parvenu, the vulgar rich only reflect back my own errors in broader deformity.
It is alike the passion of the parvenu and the pride of the aristocrat.
This smile, this condescending tap on the shoulder, revealed the parvenu most completely.
pertaining to a recent rise in wealth or position
a person who has suddenly attained wealth or position but has not yet gained acceptance in the upper class; also, an upstart who has not yet gained the manner associated with this new position
Latin per 'through' + venire 'to come'
"upstart," 1802, from French parvenu, "said of an obscure person who has made a great fortune" (Littré); noun use of past participle of parvenir "to arrive" (12c.), from Latin pervenire "to come up, arrive, attain," from per- "through" (see per (prep.)) + venire "to come" (see venue). As an adjective from 1828.

|Thrift interface: struct field names
|Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:53:55 GMT
Hi all, Structs in the Thrift interface have field names with underscores. The Thrift code generator does not convert them to camel case names which is common for .NET, e.g. a Column_family property is generated instead of ColumnFamily for the ColumnParent class. If i understand it correctly the Thrift wire format only uses the field identifier and type and not the name. So if i change the field names of the Cassandra interface file to camel case and generate the interface code, the code should still work with Cassandra servers. Is that correct? Best regards, Felix

Interesting example of government regulation causing uncertainty in the market
As many of you know, i am a 3rd year law student and I currently work as a law clerk at a firm.
I was working on a tax case the other day. The client was in the business of raising money through foreign investors to invest mostly in foreign markets. Within the past couple years he has basically had no luck getting investors despite his past successes.
Under new regulations every time he raised some money, he had to send the investor a 1099 and other forms. There is also a great deal of uncertainty on what will happen next with tax regulations and none of them even want to be on record with the feds, especially considering the "crackdown" on foreign banks with US money in them. This scared the heck out his investors and it has gotten to the point that nobody really wants to invest because they dont want to be involved in a way with the US tax system.
His tax plan is pretty extreme. His tax plan is basically now to renounce his US citizenship, move to Panama, become a Panamanian citizen, and keep his money in the cayman islands. He would continue living in the US for most of the year. To move all his money out of the US, even being not a US citizen, he has to pay a 30% tax! (keep in mind that he has already paid 35-40% on that money when he first earned it) Yet he is desperate enough for investors that he is willing to go this far to be able to stay in business.
This is a perfect example of overregulation causing uncertainty and that causing a very negative effect on people's willingness to invest or even have their money involved in the US. The question of, "what will happen next" is literally scaring tax revenue out of this country, not to mention jobs.
Yes, taxes are going up under Maobama and will continue to be onerous. There will also be a VAT some time soon as well.
Add to the VAT, some Cap & Trade (I hope not), New Mexico Liberals already said "YES". They hate facts, just appeasement!
Now that Financial Reform is passed (Not officially signed), what was hidden in that 2300 page nightmare.
VAT sucks, had it in England and it blows.
We are getting ready to experience the largest tax hike in history. It's time to either fight or get out your checkbook.

A charity has won an award for working with 1,100 volunteers to help people in the Civil Service.
The Charity for Civil Servants, in Anne Boleyn's Walk, Cheam, has scooped The Experts in Volunteering Charter Mark.
A mix of current and former civil servants across the UK support the charity by raising awareness, fundraising and visiting people in their own homes.
Staff at the charity were awarded for the way it supports the volunteers and helps to develop their skills.
The charity offers support and advice to people in the Civil Service during their career and in retirement.
Martin Faiers, of Volunteer Centre Sutton, said: "It's a measure of the great work we've done together developing your processes and support procedures.
"Having spent time with your volunteers it is evident that they have high praise for the work you do."
Anne Wedgeworth, who volunteers at the head office, said: "My experience as a volunteer at the charity has been wonderful and the support received during my induction was fantastic.
"The charity has done a great job of showing me the ropes, and I have generated many new skills."

I recently discovered that I suffer from celiac disease and I can only eat foods that are gluten-free. I thought finding GF food products would be simple but it's a daunting task. Some companies (very few) do identify their gluten-free products but there needs to be another level of identification that indicates the degree to which those 'gluten-free' products might be 'wheat-contaminated' during the food manufacturing process. Right now, with the lack of sufficient labeling, over 1.5 million other Americans who suffer from celiac disease (myself included) have no way of knowing if we're making good decisions for ourselves. And since those decisions affect our health and well being, I urge the FDA to develop some labeling method that will allow us to see, at a glance, if a product is in fact totally gluten-free and, if not, to what degree that product might be wheat-contaminated.
