This invention relates to a novel process for preparing polymers containing the [2H]-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione ring system. In another aspect, it relates to polymers prepared by the process of the invention. The polymers are useful as non-migratable species in photographic constructions.
Photographic elements are often composed of many layers of photosensitive and non-photosensitive materials, with each layer making a unique contribution to achieve a high degree of image quality. In color photography especially, the number of emulsion-applied layers is often considerable, with, in addition to one or more layers being deposited to define the proper level for each of the primary colors, layers being present that are responsible for performing antihalation, filtering, barrier, antistatic, and antiblocking functions. These layers function more or less independently, and it is important that the various components of the layers not migrate into neighboring layers. If migration occurs, the loss of the component not only diminishes overall performance of the function for which it was added, but the migrated component also can interfere with the function of neighboring layers into which it has migrated. Migration is a serious problem in photography, and various means have been adopted to eliminate it. One means that has been utilized is to attach the migratable components in a layer to a relatively non-migratable species such as an organic polymer.
The [2H]-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione (hereinafter referred to as triazolinethione) heterocycle, shown along with its tautomeric form (often referred to as mercapto triazole) in equation (1), is extremely useful in the photographic industry. ##STR1## For example, low molecular weight triazolinethione compounds have been utilized to enhance the contrast of images in silver photography (U.S. Pat. No. 3,307,944); as agents to inhibit overdevelopment of the outermost layer of a silver halide multilayer color construction (U.S. Pat. No. 3,615,522); as anti-bronzing agents to maintain a high degree of image intensity and contrast (U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,451); as stabilizers for developed images (U.S. Pat. No. 3,718,468); and as photosensitive agents for maintaining image contrast (U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,186). All these utilizations have involved relatively migratable, low molecular weight, i.e., of 200 or less, compounds.
In two instances the triazolinethione heterocycle has been incorporated into monomers which then undergo polymerization to afford heterocyclic polymers. An isopropenyl-functional monomer 1 (as described by Cr. Simionescu, et al., Acta Chim. Acad. Sci. Hung., 86, 459 (1975); Chem Abstr., 84, 44710v (1976)) was free-radically polymerized; the purpose of forming the polymer was not divulged. ##STR2## Bis(epoxide) monomer 2 was also disclosed (O. P. Shvaika, et al., USSR 765,267 (1978); Chem. Abstr., 94, 104319t (1981)) for use in epoxy resins to reduce the self-hardening temperature. ##STR3## In a third instance, M. I. Shtil'man, et al., Polymer Sci. USSR, 10, 2827 (1969), disclose a solventless, thermal cyclodehydration of one particular poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) 3 to form a poly([2H]-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione) 4 according to equation (2). ##STR4##
We have examined the above cyclodehydration with other poly(acylthiosemicarbazides), however, and have found that often crosslinked poly(triazolinethiones) which are insoluble and intractable are the result.
Briefly, the present invention provides a process for preparing a poly(triazolinethione) compound comprising the steps:
(a) providing a poly(acylthiosemicarbazide),
(b) cyclodehydrating the poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) by subjecting it to an elevated temperature in the presence of an aqueous alkaline solution to form a polyanion of the poly(triazolinethione),
(c) treating the polyanion of the poly(triazolinethione) with aqueous acid to provide the poly(triazolinethione), and
(d) isolating the resulting poly(triazolinethione).
The present invention provides an improved process for preparing poly(triazolinethiones) by cyclodehydration of poly(acylthiosemicarbazides), the improvement being utilization of moderately elevated temperatures and an aqueous alkaline solution to effect cyclization, followed by treatment with acid to form the poly(triazolinethione) structure.
In another aspect, poly(triazolinethiones) prepared by the novel process of the present invention are disclosed. The poly(triazolinethiones) of the invention remain soluble in polar organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and dimethylacetamide (DMA), and can be efficiently fabricated into the final application configuration, such as a thin layer or coating, by conventional methods such as solution and melt processing.
The present invention provides a novel process for the cyclodehydration of poly(acylthiosemicarbazides) to poly(triazolinethiones). The instant process provides a marked improvement over prior art thermal cyclodehydrations in that poly(triazolinethione) polymers that are soluble in polar organic solvents are the result. By soluble in polar organic solvents is meant that at least 0.1 weight percent dissolves in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or N-methylpyrrolidone at about 23� C. The polymers can contain in the range of 2 to 10,000, and preferably 5 to 5,000, triazolinethione units. In contrast, application of the thermal cyclodehydrative method disclosed by M. I. Shtil'man, et al., discussed above, often leads to crosslinking and insolubilization, which are not desirable because it is then impossible to either coat a solution of the poly(triazolinethione) or to thermally manipulate the polymer into the desired end-use configuration.
The novel process of the present invention consists of the following steps:
The poly(acylthiosemicarbazides), which are precursors to the desired poly(triazolinethiones), are known in the art and are conveniently prepared as outlined by M. I. Shtil'man, et al., Polymer Sci. USSR, 10, 2827 (1969). They are the reaction products of bis(isothiocyanates) (Formula I below) and bis(hydrazides) (Formula II below) as illustrated in Equation (3): ##STR5## wherein the bridging groups X and Y can be any divalent organic group such as alkylene groups having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and arylene groups having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms and, optionally, can be interrupted by one to five catenary heteroatoms of oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, or sulfur (each heteroatom being separated from each other by one or more carbon atoms). Further, X and Y can optionally be substituted with groups that do not undergo reactions with the isothiocyanate group or be chemically altered by the mild alkaline cyclodehydrative conditions of the process. Suitable substituents include halo, ester, ether, silyl, nitro, and nitrile, with the hydrocarbyl groups of the substituents possessing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
This step involves the cyclodehydration of polymers which contain two or more acylthiosemicarbazide units, designated by Formula III in Equation (4). The cyclodehydration to form the polyanion (Formula IV), which is the conjugate base of the poly(triazolinethione), is accomplished at moderately elevated temperatures, i.e., 60� to 150� C., preferably 80� to 120� C., most preferably at 100� C., using a stoichiometric excess of an aqueous alkaline solution having a pH from 8 to 13, preferably from 11 to 12. The equation depicting this step is as follows: ##STR6## wherein M is a monovalent ion (e.g., an ammonium or an alkali metal ion such as Na+, K+, and Li+).
The length of time for the cyclodehydration to occur varies substantially depending on several factors including the relative concentration of the acylthiosemicarbazide units in the polymer, the elevated temperature utilized, and the pH of the aqueous alkaline solution. In most instances the reaction can be determined to be complete when the reacting polymer, i.e., the poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) dissolves in the aqueous alkaline solution, typically in 1 to 2 hours.
A wide variety of bases are suitable for use as aqueous alkaline solutions in the process of the invention including ammonium salts and alkali metal (e.g., lithium, sodium, and potassium) salts of carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, borates, acetates, and the like. The concentration of the base dissolved in water is not critical so long as it is in stoichiometric excess of the acylthiosemicarbazide units present. Usually, 1M solutions and volumes of 10 mL per gram of poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) are employed. A preferred cyclodehydrative solution is 1M sodium carbonate. Hydroxide may be utilized as well, but only at concentrations below about 0.1M. If the pH is greater than about 13, cyclodehydration still occurs but other hydroxide-sensitive linkages that may also be present in the polymer such as amide, ester, and the acylthiosemicarbazide itself undergo hydrolysis reactions causing an undersirable scission of the polymer mainchain.
This step involves conversion of the polyanion units (Formula V) into the poly(triazolinethione) structure (Formula VI in Equation (5)): ##STR7## This transformation is accomplished by a stoichiometric excess of an aqueous acid of pH of 6 or less, above represented by the hydronium ion (H3 O+). Suitable acids include hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, acetic, and many others employed in at least 1 molar concentration. This Step is particularly facile in the present invention and generally involves simply mixing the aqueous solution containing the polyanion and acid at room temperature.
The poly(triazolinethione) polymers containing the Formula VI units are insoluble in aqueous acid, precipitate, and can be isolated by simple filtration or decantation of the aqueous supernatant liquid.
Bis(isothiocyanates) which are useful in the preparation of the poly(acylthiosemicarbazides) used in Step (a) are known in the art and can readily be prepared by reaction of diamines with thiophosgene, as exemplified by M. Uher, et al., Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., 38, 289 (1973). Bis(hydrazides) too are well known in the art and can be obtained by reaction of hydrazine and a diester, and a representative procedure that we have utilized has been reported by T. W. Campbell, et al., J. Appl. Polymer Sci., 2, 155 (1959).
Polymerization of the bis(isothiocyanate) with the bis(hydrazide) can conveniently be conducted by heating from 80� to 150� C., preferably from 100� to 140� C., over the course of 1 to 6 hours, preferably from 3 to 4 hours, equimolar quantities of the two monomers in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution. These two solvents are generally preferred because the monomers and resultant polymers are soluble therein, which provides a homogeneous reaction mixture over the course of polymerization. After the reaction period, the DMF or DMSO solution is cooled to room temperature and poured into approximately 10-fold volumes of water. The resultant precipitated poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) having 2 to 10,000 acylthiosemicarbazide units, preferably 5 to 5,000 such units, is filtered and washed with a non-solvent such as ether or methanol. The polymer can be dried at this point, but drying is not necessary before transformation to the poly(triazolinethione) by the novel process of the invention.
It is further contemplated as being within the scope of the present invention that various random copolymers can be prepared in which other kinds of functional groups are introduced in the polymer structure that are inert to the process conditions of our invention. Copolymerization, as is apparent to one possessing skill in the art, may be desirable in certain applications to alter specific polymer properties, e.g., toughness, solubility, melt viscosity, and conformability, or simply to vary the concentration of the triazolinethione units within the copolymer. The comonomers can be copolymerized in any proportion with the bis(isothiocyanate) and the bis(hydrazide). Suitable comonomers that may be employed are those which are reactive, and hence copolymerizable, either with the bis(isothiocyanate) such as diamines and diols or with the bis(hydrazide) such as diesters, diisocyanates, bis(azlactones), bis(epoxides), diacids, and diacid chlorides. Typically, these comonomers can simply be added to replace a portion of either the bis(isothiocyanate) or the bis(hydrazide) reactant charge.
Representative examples of useful comonomers include:
ethylenediamine, 1,6-hexanediamine, m-xylylenediamine, 1,4-diaminocyclohexane, dimerdiamine, 1,12-dodecanediamine, p-phenylenediamine, and the like;
ethyleneglycol, 1,2- or 1,3-propyleneglycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, diethyleneglycol, triethyleneglycol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol; polyethyleneglycol, polytetramethyleneglycol, and the like;
diacids (or their corresponding acid chlorides or lower alkyl (C1 or C2) esters):
adipic, azelaic, sebacic, dimer, terephthalic, and isophthalic acids, and the like;
1,6-hexanediisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethanediisocyanate, isophoronediisocyanate, and the like;
bisphenol-A-diglycidylether and the like;
compounds of the formula ##STR8## wherein R1 and R2 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or R1 and R2 taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a 5- to 12-membered carbocyclic ring;
R3 is a divalent organic group having a molecular weight up to 20,000, preferably selected from a hydrocarbyl group (i.e., an alkylene group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms and an arylene group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally can be interrupted by one to five catenary heteroatoms of oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon or sulfur), polyoxyalkylene, polyester, polyolefin, polyacrylate, and polysiloxane groups that can optionally all be further substituted by at least one non-nucleophilic group such as cyano, halo, ester, ether, keto, nitro, silyl, or sulfide (the carbon-containing groups having up to 10 carbon atoms);
these compounds and their preparation being disclosed in Assignee's copending patent application U.S. Ser. No. 681,553, filed Dec. 13, 1984, and incorporated herein by reference; and
a class of bis(azlactones) that can be prepared by a Michael-type addition of an amino or thiol group-substituted nucleophilic compound to an alkenyl azlactone and are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,485,236, and incorporated herein by reference.
Typical examples of copolymeric units that can be incorporated into copolymers containing triazolinethione units of the invention include:
______________________________________ Derived by copoly-Copolymeric unit Name merization from______________________________________ ##STR9## thiourea diamine ##STR10## thiourethane diol ##STR11## acylhydrazide diacid derivative ##STR12## acylsemicarbazide diisocyanate______________________________________
The triazolinethione-containing polymers of the invention are useful as non-migrating components in photosensitive materials. They can have utility to enhance contrast, as anti-bronzing agents, as stabilizers for developed images, and as antihalation agents. The triazolinethione-containing polymers can be included in emulsions or with other resinous materials or can be coated out of polar organic solvents by methods known in the art such as roll-coating, dip-coating, bar-coating, knife-coating, etc.
Having described our invention in general terms, it is now further described by specific examples of preparations of various poly(triazolinethiones) by utilization of our novel process. The particular materials and amounts recited in the examples, however, as well as other details and conditions, should not be construed to unduly limit the invention.
In a 250 mL, round-bottomed flask equipped with an argon inlet, condenser, and mechanical stirrer were placed 1,6-bis(isothiocyanato)hexane (4.00 g; 20 mMol), m-phenylene dihydrazide (3.88 g; 20 mMol), and DMSO (100 mL). The solution was heated at 100� C. under an argon atmosphere for 4 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature and poured with stirring into 1 L of water. The resulting white solid was collected by filtration and washed with methanol. Yield: 7.42 grams. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of the desired poly(acylthiosemicarbazide).
In a 100 mL, round-bottomed flask were placed the above prepared poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) (5.0 grams) and 1M aqueous sodium carbonate (50 mL). The initial mixture was refluxed for 1 hour, during which time the white solid dissolved to form a colorless solution of the polyanion.
The aqueous alkaline solution from Step (b) was poured into a beaker containing water (200 mL), and concentrated hydrochloric acid was added dropwise with stirring until the pH was less than 2. The precipitated polymer was filtered, washed with water and methanol, and dried overnight at 50� C. under vacuum (less than 1 Torr.). Yield: 4.2 grams. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of the desired poly(triazolinethione).
The inherent viscosity (η) of the polymer at 30� C. in DMF (0.50 g/100 mL) was 0.29 dL/g.
Using the procedure of Example 1, the various polymers shown in TABLE I were prepared.
TABLE I______________________________________ ##STR16##Example X Y η.sup.(a)______________________________________2 (CH.sub.2).sub.6 p-C.sub.6 H.sub.4 0.273 -- (CH.sub.2).sub.4 0.314 -- CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 0.115 (CH.sub.2).sub.3 m-C.sub.6 H.sub.4 0.046 O(p-C.sub.6 H.sub.4).sub.2 -- 0.077 p-C.sub.6 H.sub.4 -- 0.15 ##STR17## -- 0.229 ##STR18## -- 0.16______________________________________ .sup.(a) All inherent viscosities (η, in dL/g) were measured in DMF a in Example 1.
This Example teaches that thermal cyclodehydration as disclosed by M. I. Shtil'man, et al., Polymer Sci. USSR, 10, 2827 (1969) often leads to insoluble poly(triazolinethiones).
The poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) precursor to Example 3 (2.0 grams) was placed in a round-bottomed flask and heated to 200� C. at less than 1 Torr. for 1 hour. The resulting poly(triazolinethione) was not soluble in DMF.
This Example teaches that the pH should be less than about 14 in order to prevent deleterious, hydrolysis side reactions.
When step (b) of Example 1 was conducted using 1M sodium hydroxide (pH=14) instead of 1M sodium carbonate with the poly(acylthiosemicarbazide) precursor to Example 1, no polymer was isolated in Step (d).
Various modifications and alterations of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention, and it should be understood that this invention is not to be unduly limited to the illustrative embodiments set forth herein.

The green movement is no longer a fringe phenomenon, but a mainstream business strategy and lifestyle choice. One study shows that 56% of Americans are willing to pay a premium for green electronics that use less energy and are easily recycled. Thus, saving energy while reducing waste is a goal for manufacturers of tech devices, from the high-powered render farms that media professionals rely on, to new laptops that weigh (and cost) less all the time.
A comprehensive "green tech strategy" is unique for every product, addressing energy, cost, waste and sustainability in all phases of its life – R&D, design, manufacturing, marketing and sales, usage and disposal/recycling. Lenovo's new ThinkPad laptops, for instance, use 10-25% recycled plastic. Apple products, from the entire Macintosh line to CRE's popular iPad rentals, are designed with great attention to raw materials, advanced manufacturing techniques and easy recycling.
Multiple solutions
Companies are creating both hardware and software solutions. New energy-efficient desktops can run on one-third of the power a four-year-old PC requires. Intel's new chips are more powerful without using more energy, like the one that appears destined for an updated Mac Pro. There are various methods for keeping computers in low-energy mode until users need more "juice" for tough tasks.
Even mundane products like office equipment rentals get the energy-smart treatment. Hewlett-Packard and other firms are making great progress with printers, scanners and "all-in-ones" that snap out of sleep mode quickly when needed, then go back to snoozing until needed again. Various new energy sources and strategies are being studied, but the best ways to reduce the overall eco-impact of computing are common sense and low-tech:
We're getting there
Tech firms need to consider environmental impact when crafting IT solutions and developing products for long, useful lives. Whether it's a specialized Xserve RAID or something as common as a PC desktop computer rental, when high-tech devices reach the end of their usefulness, manufacturers and retailers work together to ensure that reusable components are properly reclaimed and recycled. Cradle to grave environmental responsibility? Not quite, but we're getting there!
CRE takes its commitment to the environment seriously, the same way we take every customer question, concern or need. Got a conference coming up where you need to make a big splash with big plasma display rentals? Need some energy-efficient iMac rentals for that new project?

Linked Server
Can someone just list out the steps briefly for me? Or just tell me if i am right..
1. create linked server(eg.server2) (I have done that)
2. create distributed views on server1
-creating the distributed views i understand that i can use OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET or just a four-partname right?
After creating the distributed views can i use a four-part name to make references to the remote databases?Can i also insert to those databases?


text: KEMET PHE850 Y2 capacitors have worldwide safety agency approvals and a wide capacitance range. They offer superior self-healing properties in combination with a small size and competitive price. Self-healing is the protection method so that if a voltage surge punctures the dielectric, the heat generated at the point of failure melts the surrounding metal and insulates the area of the breakdown. KEMET PHE850 Y2 capacitors are rated 300VAC and are dielectric withstand tested with 5,000VDC and 2,500VAC. They are also quite stable over the temperature range of -55°C to +110°C, having only a slightly negative temperature coefficient.

Nick Jonas Victoria's Secret Swim Special Video: Watch Performance!
Nick Jonas performed on the 2016 "Victoria's Secret Swim Special," which was broadcast Wednesday on CBS. The star sang "Levels," "Chains," and "Jealous." Check out the video below!
Now in its second year, the one-hour program documents the skin-baring shoot for the annual Victoria's Secret swimsuit catalogue. Cameras followed 13 Angels, including Behati Prinsloo, Lily Aldridge, and Candice Swanepoel, as they traveled to St. Bart's for the special production. The 250-member crew took over local hotels, and turned the trip into not just a photo shoot, but also a week-long "epic adventure."
The scantily-clad supermodels were filmed going jet skiing, cruising around the "world's sexist island," dodging bugs, and more. The beautiful women also got to cavort around with Jonas. During the shoot last December, the singer took to Instagram to tease, "#somethingbigiscoming16."
Now the time is finally here. Earlier Wednesday, Jonas shared a picture of himself posing with some of the bombshells on a local beach, writing, "That time I hung out with the @VictoriasSecret Angels…" But he wasn't the only star there.
Demi Lovato also came along to do a sexy performance of her own. The event also served as a vacation for the longtime pals, who were joined by Wilmer Valderrama and Joe Jonas. Next up, Lovato and Jonas will hit the road together for their "Future Now Tour" in June. Watch Jonas' "Victoria's Secret Swimsuit Special" performances below!

Lorna Tolentino raises concerns on how Mark Anthony treated by the Police.
Actress Lorna Tolentino, the wife of the late actor Rudy Fernandez, has consulted her legal team over the case of his stepson Mark Anthony Fernandez; raising concerns on how the actor, who was arrested for illegal possession of marijuana, is being treated by the authorities.
In an article posted on ABS-CBN News, Tolentino argued that the human rights of the former matinee idol may have been violated when he was presented to the media without a lawyer present.
Mark Anthony, the son of Rudy and actress-turned-politician Alma Moreno, was arrested recently in Pampanga; wherein a kilo of marijuana was allegedly found on the passenger seat of his vehicle. During interviews, the actor denied carrying marijuana and said he has no idea where it came from. He said he was just about to buy some, which he uses to protect himself from cancer, when he was caught.

Diversity & Inclusion at JLab
A Different Kind of Diversity Program
Our program applies to all employment practices, including recruitment, selection, promotion, transfer, merit increase, salary, training and development, demotion and separation.
Some Diversity Programs are completely compliance-driven and seek only to evaluate for underrepresented groups such as women and minorities. Others are strong on marketing; with eye-catching web pages, high level committees, and numerous affinity groups and events. However, not all of these show a clear connection to accomplishing its organization's mission. The best focus on using the Diversity Program is to enhance mission accomplishment. If this results in a more diverse workforce than before, all the better. That is the kind of program we want at Jefferson Lab.
One of the first things a Diversity and Inclusion Program should do is define what diversity means to that organization.
According to the dictionary, the noun itself can mean:
"a point or respect in which things differ;"
"variety or multiformity;"
"the state or quality of being different or varied; a point of difference;"
"the relation that holds between two entities when and only when they are not identical;"
"noticeable heterogeneity."
But people are diverse in many ways. Differences that really matter to an organization like JLab are those that may affect scientific communication/collaboration (e.g. gender, ethnic background, country of origin, taboos, language skill, generation, and type of job/profession, etc). Our mission-focused approach challenges two commonly-held assumptions:
JLab is already a diverse place to work
- As a National Lab with unique capabilities, JLab attracts employees and a user community from around the world who are diverse in gender, ethnicity, race, national origin, age culture, and many other ways. JLab benefits from this rich blend of backgrounds and perspectives.
People at JLab are not biased
- JLab promotes and strives for a bias free culture. However, studies show that an unconscious bias linked to brain function exists in all humans and is likely as common here as it is in the wider population. At JLab, we educate our workforce to increase awareness in order to collectively manage our implicit biases.
The goals of our Diversity and Inclusion Program are:
- To maintain and encourage a workforce composed of qualified people who proportionally represent diverse professional populations.
- To create and maintain a professional, ethical, tolerant and respectful work environment in which everyone contributes to the Lab's mission according to his or her talents.
Therefore, the JLab Diversity and Inclusion Program has the following objectives:
- Increase awareness of diversity and inclusion to support leadership in maximizing contributions of all
- Improve understanding of how diversity and inclusion affect mission accomplishment
- Remove potential roadblocks to diversity and inclusion in hiring, promotion, physical environment, professional development
Our program was conceived by a diverse group of people who are committed to an inclusive work environment where differing perspectives, opinions and contributions are valued. All levels of the organization realize that for JLab to remain a leading scientific organization, diversity must be a core element for success.

I met a girl online (pathetic, but not the point) and we talked a lot. It's been 3 months since we first spoke, but we haven't met yet. I like her a lot and don't know how to tell her. Wouldn't it be creepy without even having seen each other?
First of all, there's nothing pathetic about meeting a girl online — we spend so much of our time on the internet nowadays, and so many couples do meet online, that there's no longer much stigma attached to it.

There are first novels — and then there are works of a lifetime that just happen to be the first novel an author has published. South African...
by Dan Sleigh, translated by André Brink
Harcourt, 758 pp., $28
There are first novels — and then there are works of a lifetime that just happen to be the first novel an author has published.
South African writer Dan Sleigh's "Islands," translated from the Afrikaans by novelist André Brink ("A Dry White Season"), falls triumphantly into the latter category. Its subject: the rise of the Dutch East Indies Company's settlement on the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th century and the company's failed venture on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Covering the lives of three generations, Sleigh's story turns on the first interracial marriage on the Cape and the fate of that marriage's mixed-race children. Little is as you would expect it to be.
In its vast ambition, its range of settings and its close attention to the logistics of colonization, "Islands" rivals Paul Scott's "Raj Quartet." It offers shipwrecks, pirates, hurricanes, land grabs, power struggles, corporate hubris, military atrocities ("Just cut off upper lips, otherwise we have to carry the whole bloody head") and multiple draconian acts of "justice." All shades of human character, from slandering and sadistic to loving and self-sacrificing, are present on its pages.

- Sports on TV & radio: Local listings for Seattle games and events
Sleigh is a researcher at the National Archives in Capetown, and his long immersion in the documents of South Africa's colonial past is apparent throughout "Islands." Each character here has a basis in the historical record, yet there's never a sense of the author being hemmed in by the facts. For Sleigh, human dramas spring fully animated from the dustiest bits of paper.
He divides the book into seven long chapters. The first portrays a Koina chieftain, Autshumao, down on his luck with neighbors and trying to parlay his contacts with visiting English and Dutch mariners into a position of strength. He's successful to a degree, but at a sacrifice, starting with his name (the white men rechristen him Chief Harry) and ending with his orphaned niece, 6-year-old Krotoa (rechristened Eva). As the Dutch fortify their position on the Cape, Eva is adopted by the captain's family — and from then her life is split between two worlds.
Self-possessed, with a gift for languages, she appears to hold her own at first. She even marries fort surgeon Pieter van Meerhof (the protagonist of Chapter 2) and has four children with him. In the small world of the colonial Cape, everyone knows her and grants her a place, however grudgingly. Troubles first appear when Pieter is put in charge of the colony prison on Robben Island, moving there with his family. When he dies, Eva collapses into alcoholism, and her children become wards of the colony.
After some muddle, efforts are made to ensure their well-being. Thanks to the good sense of eldest daughter Pieternella, it looks as though all will be well. But that's before history and fate do their work.
The five remaining chapters view Pieternella and her siblings, variously, through the eyes of their father's kindly young Robben Island successor (a former German soldier); a local fisherman who, with his wife, wishes to adopt the van Meerhof children; a Cape colony advocate who, as legal protector of the children, dreams of marriage to Pieternella; a free burgher from Mauritius who, half-unwillingly, becomes her husband (a long and happy union, starting when she's 14!); and finally an 18th-century Cape historian, eager to learn all he can about Pieternella from her surviving sons. Through his eyes, we see the racial divisions of the future South Africa begin to fall firmly into place.
These seven chapters work like seven lenses through which to see subtly altering versions of the same reality. A key image in one chapter reappears later, pearled in new meaning. Sleigh's portrayal of Pieternella through key figures in her life opens up the novel in an extraordinary way, making it clear what far-flung corners of the world the officers, colonists and slaves of the Cape and Mauritius came from: war-scarred Europe (where "today's infant is tomorrow's infantry"), India, the Dutch East Indies, the African interior. Thanks to their memories, we see each place in vivid detail.
Most intensely, we see a village, a town, a city, a whole society rise before our eyes. There it is, changing and expanding faster than any of its inhabitants can grasp, coming as they do from slower, more traditional societies.
About Brink's translation, all that needs to be said is that it's an extraordinary act of generosity from one gifted writer to another.

Patrolman Crane and his partner responded to a call of a burglary in progress at 334 East 105th Street, Manhattan. When they arrived, they observed a male on the roof of the location. Patrolman Crane climbed the fire escape while his partner climbed the stairs of the building. When Patrolman Crane got to the roof, he confronted the suspect. A struggle ensued and the suspect was able to gain control of Patrolman Crane's service revolver. The suspect then shot and killed him and fled.
Two suspects were apprehended the following day and charged with murder. Their first trial ended in a hung jury, but the suspect that shot Patrolman Crane was convicted of murder in a second trial and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. He was paroled August 2nd, 1984.
Patrolman Crane was assigned to the 23rd Precinct and had served with the New York City Police Department for nearly three and a half years. He is survived by his wife and daughter. His wife passed away in January 2012.

There's no doubt that preschool is a valuable experience for your children, helping them prepare socially and mentally for the many years of school ahead. However, paying for it is a difficult road for many families. According to a 2012 report from Child Care Aware of America, the annual cost of center-based child care costs more than a year of college in at least 35 states. Some preschools do have scholarship funds available to help with the cost -- though scholarships don't always pay for the full price of the preschool.
Research the schools you're interested in as early as possible to get information on the schools, their offerings, deadlines for registration and scholarships. Preschools typically list scholarship information on their websites, but, if you don't find any information, call the school to inquire. Scholarship applications may need to be completed 6 months to a year before the school year begins.
Inquire at social services agencies and nonprofit groups in your area that might offer financial assistance for educational programs. Your state's human services department might offer assistance for Head Start and other preschool programs through Child Care and Development Block Grants provided by the federal government. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also lists some resources for financial aid on its website. Nonprofit groups might offer services to a specific population, such as teen parents, college students or certain ethnic groups. Also check with your local school district about pre-K programs that are often offered free of charge to 4- and 5-year-old children.
Read the instructions on each application thoroughly so you know what you need to do to apply for the scholarship, and take note of the deadline dates. When it comes to scholarships, missing the deadlines will probably mean the scholarships will have already been given away by the time you apply.
Assemble the documents necessary to complete a scholarship application. This might include proof of income statements, letters of recommendation or a statement of need. Complete the application, check it for errors, and then turn it in to the preschool or scholarship program before the deadline.
Contact the preschool after sending in your application to check that it has been received and that you didn't make any errors that would disqualify your application.
Scholarships are one way to pay for the price of preschool, but also be on the lookout for other ways to get low-cost preschool. Co-op preschools allow families to trade work hours for part of the cost of school. Preschools in churches and home settings can also be less expensive than more formal centers -- but always tour the school and ask about certification and programming so you're sure you're getting a quality program.

In 1773, at the age of twenty, Phillis accompanied Nathaniel Wheatley to London in part for her health, but also because Susanna believed she would have a better chance publishing her poetry there.[9] She had an audience with the Lord Mayor of London (an audience with George II was arranged, but Phillis returned home beforehand), as well as with other significant members of British society, including Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon, who lent her support to Wheatley's work and allowed a volume of Wheatley's poems, published in London in 1773, to be dedicated to her.[10] In 1774, Phillis Wheatley wrote a letter to Reverend Samson Occom, commending him on his ideas and beliefs of how the slaves should be given their natural born rights in America. Wheatley also exchanged letters with the British philanthropist John Thornton, who in turn discussed Wheatley and her poetry in his correspondence with John Newton.[11] Along with her poetry, she was able to express her thoughts, comments and concerns to others.[12] In 1775, Phillis Wheatley sent a copy of a poem entitled, "To His Excellency, George Washington" to him. In 1776, Washington invited Wheatley to visit him at his headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which she did in March of 1776.[13] Thomas Paine republished the poem in the Pennsylvania Gazette in April of 1776.[14]
In 1778, Wheatley was legally freed from slavery by her master's will. His daughter Mary Wheatley died soon afterward. Three months later, Phillis Wheatley married John Peters, a free black grocer. They struggled with poor living conditions and the deaths of two babies.[15]
Wheatley wrote another volume of poetry but was unable to publish it because of her financial circumstances, the loss of patrons after her emancipation (often publication of books was based on gaining subscriptions for guaranteed sales beforehand), and the competition from the Revolutionary War. However, some of her poems that were to be published in that volume were later published in pamphlets and newspapers.[16]
Her husband John Peters was imprisoned for debt in 1784, leaving an impoverished Wheatley with a sickly infant son. She went to work as a scullery maid at a boarding house to support them. The racism and sexism that marked the era had forced her into a kind of domestic labor that she had not been forced to do while her freedom was held by her masters. Wheatley died on December 5, 1784, at age 31. Her infant son died three and a half hours after her death.[17]

Diamond NV Centers in Cryogenic Systems
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centers in diamond have recently exploded onto the scientific research scene. NV centers are extremely stable and have unique optical properties that enable a wide range of applications. In the field of quantum information science, NV centers may act as single photon sources for quantum computing applications. NV centers have also been demonstrated as quantum assisted sensing devices to resolve nanoscale variations in magnetic fields, electric fields, strain, temperature, and pressure. In the biological realm, NV centers have proven to be excellent biomarkers with unlimited photostability and low cytotoxicity.
These fields of research were sparked by the first electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of a single NV defect, performed in 1997. The optically active version of the NV center involves an overall negative charge state with six electrons. Two electrons are donated by the nitrogen atom, three from the surrounding dangling carbon bonds of the vacancy, and one more electron is donated from the diamond lattice. The luminescence of the NV center is strongly coupled to its spin state and can therefore act as a quantum based sensor.
Montana Instruments has developed a cryogenic platform to meet the demanding needs of the NV center research community and help alleviate the barrier to entry for doing NV center research. Below you will find common experimental challenges faced by the research community and how Montana Instruments has helped researchers overcome these barriers.
Experimental Considerations
Common Challenges
- Diamond NV centers have low coherent evolution times at room temperature which can make specific spin state readout difficult without the use of complicated spectroscopic techniques.
- Coherent evolution time of the spin state is directly proportional to the sensitivity of pulsed detection techniques. Therefore, the sensitivity of low temperature experiments is much greater compared to those performed at room temperature!
- Temperature fluctuations can alter the response of the NV center and cause distortion of the experimental results
- Interesting material transitions often occur at low temperature. Examples include magnetic transitions and formation of magnetic textures such as vortices in high temperature superconductors, ferromagnetism, and skyrmion phase formation in helimagnets.
- Low vibrations and low temperature are required for maximum resolution of scanning probe experiments. Minimal vibrational disturbance of the experimental setup is also required for nanodiamond dispersal on a sample for NV center assisted mapping of material properties.
Keys for Optimizing an NV Center Experiment
An ultra-stable sample space enables the experimenter to carefully control critical environmental variables that can affect the fidelity of experimental results. A versatile and reconfigurable sample space provides experimental flexibility to adjust the optical setup as the laboratories needs and experimental requirements grow in complexity.
|Focus Area
|Why It's Important
|The Cryostation Difference
|Low Temperatures (<4K)
|Cryogenic temperatures maximize the readout sensitivity for specific spin states of the NV center.
|Cryogenic temperatures < 4K are accessed seamlessly. Dial in your experimental temperature using the automated software and your sample will be there shortly.
|Temperature Stability
|Temperature stability is required to maintain a constant signal response from the NV center.
|The temperature stability at a specific set point can exceed 10mK.
|Low Vibrations
|Low vibrations provide a stable experimental platform with minimal disturbance to the local sample region and NV center being investigated for maximum resolving power.
|-Minimal system vibrations (< 5nm; with options for < 1nm available) provide an ultra-stable cryogenic platform where the NV center can be used as a quantum sensor to map a sample with nanometer resolution. -Minimal sample drift when cooling from 300K to 4K allows you to easily track a single NV center feature across a wide range of temperatures.
-Minimal sample drift when cooling from 300K to 4K allows you to easily track a single NV center feature across a wide range of temperatures.
|Sample & Optical Access
|The sample needs to be optically accessible. A high NA objective lens for collecting fluorescence signal emanating from the NV center is required for single NV center experiments. Alternatively, a longer working distance, larger field of view experimental setup requires a large acceptance angle in the cryostat viewport for collecting array data on a CCD detector.
|The Cryostation provides easy access to the sample space with unparalleled optical access options for low working distances (1-2mm) and high numerical aperture (NA) with the patented Cryo-Optic option. This helps optimize signal sensitivity and experimental resolution.
|XYZ Positioning
|Optionally, an XYZ platform may be required to perform scanning measurements to map the property of interest across a macroscopic range, or position a cantilever tip with a NV center under the focal spot of the objective lens.
|Piezoelectric positioners can be added to your sample platform. Closed-loop stages enable scanning of the sample for mapping the property of interest across a large area.
|Minimal disruptions to the experimental environment allow long collection times for low signal experiments.
|No liquid helium refills are required! An experiment can be run for days or weeks at a time without ever stopping to refill the system from a helium Dewar. Helium transfers disrupt the local sample environment through mechanical vibrations.

Experimental Configurations for Cryogenic (4K) NV Center Research
Confocal Microscopy
Data Collection for an Ensemble of NV Centers
A magnetic sample is placed on a bulk diamond substrate. The diamond substrate has a thin surface layer that is rich with NV defects. The thin layer of uniform density NV defects can be formed using ion-implantation methods or by incorporating a nitrogen rich surface layer during the synthesis of a diamond substrate. An excitation laser, typically 532nm is used to promote the NV centers to the excited state and the fluorescence signal is collected between 630-800nm. A microwave signal is simultaneously used to excite and probe the spin state (ESR). The fluorescence signal is detected by a CCD camera that collects the data in a 2D array and can be mapped back to the original sample. The ensemble technique allows large area collection by using a long working distance for a larger field of view compared to single NV center measurements.
Scanning Confocal Microscopy
Single NV Center Research: Nanodiamond Dispersal on a Sample
Single NV centers in nanodiamonds can be studied in a confocal microscopy setup. The experimental setup includes a cryogenically compatible XYZ piezo stage stack. The Z motion allows the focal plane to be adjusted, and the XY motion enables scanning over the sample area (limited to roughly 5mm x 5mm at cryogenic temperatures). The patented Cryo-Optic design from Montana Instruments enables a low working distance and high NA objective lens to be used while maintaining the sample at 4K to provide the required collection efficiency and spot size for focusing on a single NV center. The excitation wavelength used is 532nm, and the fluorescence signal is collected between 630-800nm. A variable microwave signal is used to excite the spin state of the diamond NV center, and specific spin state of the NV center corresponds to a peak shift in the detected fluorescence signal. In order to study a sample, nanodiamonds (typically 20-30nm in diameter) are dispersed uniformly across a sample surface of interest. The XYZ piezo stack is then used to scan the sample and focus on individual NV centers. A single NV center can then be used to monitor the property of a material across a broad temperature range.
The Tokura Lab successfully implemented this technique to study the helimagnetic transition in an FeGe sample. The details of the experiment can be read here: Using NV-Center Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) as a Probe for Local Magnetic Dynamics in Transition Metals
Scanning Probe Microscopy
Scanning Probe Quantum Sensor (ex. Scanning Magnetometry)
A NV center is located at the end of a cantilever tip and the tip is scanned in close proximity across the surface of a sample. In this scanning probe microscopy setup, a confocal light microscopy setup focuses the excitation light on the tip of the cantilever that hosts the NV center. The sample is scanned using cryogenically compatible piezo stages. The NV center can either be placed at the tip of the cantilever by grafting a nanodiamond crystal, or the tip can be manufactured using nanoimprint lithography combined with O2 etching of a bulk diamond substrate and subsequently performing 14N implantation to generate the NV center defect at the cantilever tip. The cantilever tip is aligned to the plane of the sample surface using a three axis tilting stage. The excitation laser is focused and located on the tip of the cantilever by adjusting the XYZ position of a final set of piezo stages anchored to the cold plate of the cryostat. The technique can be performed at cryogenic temperatures in a low vibration cryostat such as the Montana Instruments Nanoscale Workstation NW2.
The Jayich Lab successfully implemented this technique to image magnetic vortices in the iron pnictide superconductor BaFe2(As0.7P0.3)2 with a critical temperature of 30K. The technique creates great promise for studying solid state systems that exhibit exotic behavior at cryogenic temperatures.

Wednesday, October 14, 2015 by Norman Smith
In June of this year, Texas governor Greg Abbott signed into law S.B. 11 – a.k.a. the "campus carry" law — which allows licensed gun owners carry concealed handguns on university campuses, effective August 1, 2016.[1]
Gun-rights advocates are of course thrilled with the decision, especially the super-specific Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, which argues that "high-profile shootings and armed abductions on college campuses clearly demonstrate that 'gun free zones' serve to disarm only those law-abiding citizens who might otherwise be able to protect themselves."[2]
On the other side of the issue, many students, faculty and staff insist that making campuses gun free zones is the only way to go. While the campus battle between both sides generates the familiar talking points, one recent University of Texas alumnus has come up with an amusingly creative response to the issue.
Jessica Jin has a violin performance degree from the UT music school, a certificate from the UT business school, and a first-degree sense of humor. As an example of the latter, she founded an organization called Sad Violin Music — a network of violinists who, for a fee, will play sad music for "breakups, funerals, mass layoffs, whining children, lover's quarrels, betrayal, food poisoning, championship losses, bankruptcy, raising $ for sad causes, pity parties, sinking ships" and any other occasion for which the violin is uniquely suited.[3]
Regarding the S.B. 11 law, Jessica thinks it's ironic that students will be able to carry guns on campus, while the university's obscenity rules forbid the carrying of dildos. If you're packing both a gun and a dildo, you could get your dildo confiscated. And Jin isn't going to stand for having her constitutional rights violated like that.[1]
So she came up with a protest idea in the 1960s tradition of the Yippies, who incorporated elements of street theatre and burlesque into their dissident antics, adopting slogans like "sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger," and "free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire."
In a similar spirit, Jin is organizing an event called Campus Dildo Carry, accompanied by the best Twitter tag ever: #CocksNotGlocks. "Starting on the first day of Long Session classes on August 24, 2016," she explains, "we are strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks in protest of campus carry." Everyone is free to participate. "Come one dildo, come all dildos" is her battle cry.[1]
Like all satirical social commentary, Jin's intentions are backed by some serious thinking. "The narratives surrounding sexuality (or just dildos, in this case) and guns are more intertwined than one would expect, and more similarities seem to unfold every minute. They each have the power to masculate or emasculate at a moment's notice. Some shootings in this past year can even be traced straight back to sexual repression. Dildos and guns are in it together for the long haul."[4]
As for the planned protest, Jin is quick to remind potential protesters that carrying a dildo on campus truly is forbidden. "Participate at your own risk," she warns. "But can you imagine the gongshow that would be UTPD/APD trying to chase down thousands of students wielding harmless dildos around campus?"[1]
Unfortunately for pro-gun advocates, Jin cannot be simply dismissed as a violin-playing liberal elitist. In addition to playing chamber music, she was also on the UT women's rowing team that won the Big 12 championship in 2011, and currently plays on the Austin Valkyries rugby team. Notes the petite 5-foot 4-inch 115-pounder, "My rowing coach once pointed at me and told an incoming group of novice rowers, 'That little girl you see over there? She looks small, but do not underestimate her. She'll kick your ass.'"[5]
Within two days after posting the Campus Dildo Carry event on Facebook, over 3,000 people had already accepted Jin's invitation to attend, proving that the humorous approach to serious dissidence is alive and well. In the war to win the hearts and minds of college students, perhaps the pro-gun crowd — which is not known for joking around — could benefit by borrowing a page from Jin's playbook.

Hi Everyone-
Thought it was interesting and may be something you may not know about. She also posts on the ovarian cancer board because her type of uterine cancer (UPSC) is very similar to ovarian. You can also visit both the uterine and ovarian boards and search for radioembolism. They're pretty encouraging.

Skip to comments.Youcef Nadarkhani Executed: Pastor Hanged in Iran for Being Christian (Unconfirmed)
Posted on 03/03/2012 1:31:16 PM PST by soozla
The "Religion of Peace" strikes again...........
Prayers for his family and congregation, and for Christians who live in Islamic Countries.
He is a TRUE Martyr for his Faith.
Start with the HMIC who is stinking up the WH. There are no good muslims any where, we must rid America of this filth!
I hope there is a concerted effort to identify every one of his persecutors. At a minimum, they should be informed that they have been identified as complicit in murder, and that at any time in the future they may be personally arrested and tried for that crime. Which, depending on the nation in which they are tried, could result in their being given the death penalty.
However, if they can prove that they are not substantially involved in this murder, they should preserve that evidence in hope that they might receive a lesser charge, or even exoneration.
A comment posted at this posts source link:
5.Ronnie James says: March 3, 2012 at 10:32 am .Apostasy Watch Last night a report was posted that Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani had been executed by Iran. The report was originally translated from an Arabic website. We have been unable to confirm this information through the US State Department or any western media. We will continue to monitor the situation. Please keep Nadarkhani and his family in your prayers
If anyone can locate the original Arabic or Persian source detailing otherwise, kindly post link. Thanks.
If it is true, what a shame. I best say no more less I be permanently be banned. But it makes my blood boil just thinking about it and our dear Leader.
Islam, it's NOT a religion.
It's a VIRUS.
God bless him. He serves with the Saints in the place of the angels. And those who executed him will one day kneel before the Lord Jesus Christ and account for their murder of His servant.
Is this where our "no bluff" president acts?
Were that I were worthy to suffer and die for Jesus.
He's just left this world and hit the express lane to the Kingdom. We should celebrate his victory and not mourn his loss.
He is an object lesson for me personally and probably a much better man than i.
Amen skeeter. May many more join him, including former Muslims who find salvation in the Lord Jesus.
hanged? OM Goodness... And Obama apologizes about the Koran. Has he spoken out about this? Of course not.
May God bless this man and give peace to his family.
2 threads on the Pastor's death and no confirmation; yet still in the "news" thread.
Do you have a news source or an eye witness source with url links reporting this?
He has won the martyr's crown.
I truly believe you will find the information concerning Youcef's status at this site when it becomes available:
This site and organization is dedicated to assisting Christian martyrs. They're pretty awesome at what they do.

England's second-half fightback wasn't enough as South Africa claimed the series with a 36-27 win in the second Test.
Ben Youngs crossed twice as England put themselves in sight of an unlikely victory after trailing 28-10 at Coca-Cola Park but JP Pietersen ended the comeback.
England paid the price for a poor start as Willem Alberts, Bismarck du Plessis and Francois Hougaard claimed early tries for the Springboks.
Despite everything that had gone before England, almost inconceivably, suddenly got themselves back within a converted try of South Africa just after the hour.
The hosts switched off at the breakdown after a drive by substitute Alex Corbisiero and Youngs pinched the ball to dive through a gap for his second try.
Flood added the extras and chipped further away at the lead with another penalty from just inside the Springboks' half.
England breathed a sigh of relief after conceding another penalty and Morne Steyn hit the upright.
England started to look like they believed they could win but South Africa found another gear when they needed it.
After a useful spell of possession they neatly worked the ball along the line and Pietersen flamboyantly dived over for the decisive try seven minutes from time.

August 15, 2012
– Comments (5)
I spent a considerable amount of time this morning blaming my PC for not allowing me to open "MY CAPS" page without showing it for a microsecond and then breaking into an error:
"Page not found
The link to Contact US, was also broken.
Since Motley Fool will not bless us with a "SYSTEM STATUS" update, I decided to generate this quick blog in the hopes of saving a few Fools possible further frustration, (Since if you are reading this, you most likely attempted to access some of the CAPS features before resorting to checking the blogs).
After working with one of the Moderators, Richard, (whose a really great guy putting up with me on a frequent basis), we discovered that only Windows XP or Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 was "broken".
Mozilla Firefox and Windows 7 with IE9 do function.
(NOTE: IE9 does not work with XP, so if you are XP bound that is not an option).
I am not one to swallow the spider to catch the fly, so Mozilla Firefox is not an adequate "work around" for me, although I'm using it to notify the rest of the community. It does download and installs quickly from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
It can be installed, leaving IE as a default with no conflicts.
While I understand that Fool.com is a free service, so some excuse it as "is what it is", we have had this debate multiple times. As a user, my pitches and work are used frequently in Fool Articles, (often out of context) and the community as a whole acts to generate new subscribers to other paid services.
This is the third time in the last few weeks the system has been down "hard". Several times the system has not tracked.
At a minimum, I would request a system status banner/link that was easy to locate from the main page. This wouldn't help, obviously if the system was down hard, but would save some frustration when events like this occur.
The variety of Operating Systems and Browsers, along with plug-ins and support software leaves open a multitude of combinations that cannot always be tested by administrators/tech staff.
This issue was isolated to IE8 at about 10am this morning. While I suspect it was due to an update of some sort and issues with JAVA, it does not appear the tech staff found the solution yet. (As of 7PM Wednesday evening).
I'll keep Firefox in my back pocket through this Friday. Like ZZlangerhans and others who have posted recent frustrastions, ( portefeuille isusing Twitter) I have considerable IP invested in CAPS. I am hopefully we can find a balance of useability.
I do appreciate the staff, the site, and the background efforts that I don't see, but a system status would be a tool that would save everyone time and avoid multiple blogs or "notifying" the admins on known issues.
The SKY is NOT Falling Today, unless you're a frequent CAPS user with IE8
Hmmm, this blog doesn't help much. I didn't realize that while you can see the "blogs" with title and a few sentences, you can't open them either with IE8 without the error message.
For those of you who use Firefox "naturally", or have IE9, and don't have a clue what I'm talking about...trust me...it's fatal from a CAPS perspective and probably stops about half the users from accessing most features including their own page. IF it's quiet around here, at least you will know why!
Yes, I drifted towards using "twitter". There are few disadvantages (you have to post longer stuff somewhere else, like google docs, and link) but quite a few major advantages (most "somewhat serious" poeple with interest in biopharma investing use it to some degree it appears) and twitter is highly unlikely to disappear in the next few years.
@portefeuillefun ;)
"portefeuillefund" was too long and maybe using p...fun is actually an advantage as the non-Europeans are likely to read it as "something complicated and then 'fun' at the end". :)
Maybe someone can transfer the "raw data" and some statistics to some more permanent place giving me the ability to show that my decent track records goes back to late 2008 and zzlangerhans the ability to download or link to his great pitches before "lights are turned off". He got around 0.9 recommendations per pitch from me since early 2009.
2:06 PM. Mods expect fix to be rolled out "soon".
Statistics indicate that 49% of users use Internet Explorer, and of those, 44% use IE8, so about 20% of users affected.....
