The present invention is directed to electrochromic electrolyte polymer blends. The blends comprise an amorphous polymer and an electrochromophore component. The electrochromophore component comprises a polyalkylene polymer copolymerized with an electrochromic moiety. These blends can be used to make elastomeric films and coatings that can be used in laminate structures used in manufactured articles such as architectural and vehicular glazing, eyewear, displays and signage.
Organic conducting polymers and organic electroactive polymers have been used to make electrochromic devices. However, there remains a need for elastomeric electrochromic polymers that are easily manufactured, exhibit desired electrochromic characteristics, can be covalently bonded to an electrode, have a long life-time, and can be used in an all solid-state electrochromic system.
Electrochromic systems based on polymeric electrolytes are known [B. Scrosati, J. Electrochem Soc., 1989, 136, 2774]. One example comprises polyethylene oxide and lithium salts. However, the disclosed system requires a relatively high temperature of operation (i.e., about 100� C.). This is because the conductivity is a property of the amorphous, elastomeric phase, and the transition from the crystalline to amorphous state for the PEO/Li complexes occurs above about 60� C.
Elastomer electrolytes blended with inorganic or organic chromophores have been reported [E. A. R. Duek, et al., Adv. Materials 5, 650, 1993].
World Patent Publication WO/2006/008776 discloses electrochromic compositions obtained by blending polymers with electrochromic molecules and placticizers.
Blends of conducting polymers with thermoplastics or elastomers to produce materials that exhibit the electrochromic properties of the conducting polymers are also known. For example, W. A. Gazotti et al. have disclosed solid state devices using two optically complementary electrochromic blends deposited on transparent electrodes (ITO) and a polymeric electrolyte [Advanced Materials, 1998, 10, no 18, p 1522-1525].
Improvements are desirable, however, in uniformity, consistency, efficiency, and durability.
One aspect of the invention is a composition comprising:
Another aspect of the invention is a laminate comprising:
The blend compositions disclosed herein provide electrochromic materials that display good color uniformity and good contrast and can be used to generate a wide range of colors. Coloration efficiency and long lifetimes are achieved by the incorporation of certain functional groups in the electrochromic moiety to improve contact of the blend compositions with the electrodes of the electrochromic device.
Electrochromism, as used herein, is a reversible and visible change in the transmittance and/or reflectance of a material as the result of electrochemical oxidation or reduction. Electrochromic materials can be either organic or inorganic materials that display electrochromism.
Amorphous polymers are those that display substantially no crystalline domains in the solid state.
One embodiment of this invention is a composition comprising:
As used herein, "(co)polymer" denotes a homopolymer or copolymer. In particular, the amorphous (co)polymer can contain repeat units of
or any combination of (I), (II), and/or (III). Other repeat units can also be present, such as Structure (X):
Suitable alkyl groups of the amorphous (co)polymer include C1-C10 alkyl groups. Suitable substituents on the alkyl groups include halo groups, hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, and cyano groups.
Suitable polyalkylene oxides can be linear or branched. In one embodiment, linear polyalkylene oxide corresponds to the formula —(O(CH2)r(CHR)s)—, where r and s are integers from 0-10,000, with the proviso that at least one of r and s is not zero. Suitable branched polyalkylene oxides include, for example:
where each n is an integer from 0 to 1000.
Suitable electrochromic moieties cause the blend composition to exhibit a reversible and visible change in its transmittance and/or reflectance upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction. The electrochromic moiety can be covalently attached to the polyalkylene oxide, or can be blended with the polyalkylene oxide.
Each electrochromic moiety comprises a redox-active group and an optional linker group interposed between the redox-active group and the polyalkylene oxide units. Suitable linkers include —(CH2)m—, —CH2—OC(O)(CH2)n—, and —(CH2CH2NH)—, where m and n are integers from 1 to 1000.
Linker groups can also comprise connecting groups such as ester (—CO2—), amide (—N(CO)—), ether (—O—), or thioether (—S—) groups, interposed between either the polyalkylene oxide backbone and the linker or between the linker and the redox-active group.
Suitable electrochromic moieties include bipyridinium systems; electroactive conducting polymers such as polyanilines, polypyrroles, polythiophenes and polythiophene copolymers, and polycarbazole; carbazoles; methoxybiphenyl compounds; quinones; diphenylamines; phenylene diamines; pyrazolines; tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ); and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF).
Suitable redox-active groups in the electrochromic moieties include substituted and unsubstituted aromatic and heteroaromatic groups corresponding to structures IV-IX:
Except for structure VI, the points of attachment to the polyalkylene oxide, linker or connecting group are not shown. Any point of attachment is suitable, as long as the aromatic character of the system is maintained. Structure VI has two potential points of attachment. Typically, both nitrogens of the bipyridilium system are attached to the polymer backbone, linker or connecting group. The positive charge on these quaternary nitrogens is balanced by anions such as halides. For a terminal bipyridilium group, one of the nitrogens is typically connected covalently or ionically to an alkyl group, an aryl group, a halogen, p-toluene-sulfonyl, hexafluorophosphate, trifluoromethanesulfonate (CF3SO3—), trifluoromethanesulfonimide ((CF3SO2)2N—), or H, either directly or with intervening linker and/or connecting groups.
Suitable substituents on the aromatic or heteroaromatic rings of the redox-active groups include: C1-C10 alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, and iso-pentyl; aromatic groups such as phenyl and substituted phenyl; —CN; and amines such as —N(C2H5)2 and —N(CH3)2 groups. The substituents attached to the aromatic or heteroaromatic groups can influence the conduction properties of the composition and its response to voltage fluctuations. Different substituents can be used to provide compositions of different colors. By varying the redox-active group and/or the substitutents on the aromatic group of the electrochromic moiety, the compositions of this invention can be produced in a wide range of colors.
The electrochromic moieties can also comprise functional groups to improve bonding to the electrodes of an electrochromic device. Suitable functional groups include —SH, pyridine, —CN, and —SCN, and can be used to promote the absorption and/or self-assembly of the electrochromophore onto electrode surfaces (e.g., Au, Cu, Pd, Pt, Ni, and Al). Other functional groups, such as —COOH and —P(O)(OH)2, can be used to improve the binding or self-assembly of the composition onto ITO (indium tin oxide) or Al2O3 surfaces. Alcohol and amine functionalities are useful in binding to Pt surfaces. Having direct contact and good binding between the electrochromophore and the electrodes in a solid-state system can enhance coloration efficiency.
The electrochromic groups can also contain functional groups such as —SO3K or —ClO3Li. When such compositions are used to assemble electrochromic devices, little or no additional electrolyte is required.
The electrochromic moieties that are attached to a polyalkylene oxide polymer are not pendant from the polymer backbone, but rather are part of the backbone of the polymer. Each polyethylene oxide chain can contain more than one electrochromic moiety. Chains that contain more than one electrochromic moiety can contain more than one type of electrochromic moiety, e.g., electron-donors and electron-acceptors. The density of the electrochromic moieties (i.e., the number of electrochromic moieties per unit of chain length) can be varied by controlling the length of the polyalkylene oxide segments. The distance between neighboring electrochromic moieties can also be controlled by the use of linker groups of different sizes. The electrochromic moieties can also be at the end(s) of the chain.
In one embodiment of this invention, the amorphous (co)polymer comprises predominantly repeat units of structure III, such as, for example, when the backbone comprises poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(epichlorohydrin).
In another embodiment of this invention, the amorphous (co)polymer comprises predominantly repeat units of structure II, as in polyvinyl butyral.
In another embodiment of this invention, the amorphous polymer backbone is a copolymer comprising at least one repeat unit of structure II and at least one repeat unit of structure III, such as in poly(ethylene oxide-co-epichlorohydrin) and copolymers derived from ethylene, methacrylic acid and salt forms of methacrylic acid (e.g., Surlyn� resins, available from E.I. DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Wilmington, Del.).
The ion source can be an inorganic salt such as LiCl or an organic salt such as tetrabutyl ammonium bromide that is added to the co-polymer and the electrochromophore component. The polyalkylene oxide component tends to promote the dissolution of the salt, and the resulting ions increase the conductivity of the polymer. The salts also inhibit the crystallization of polyalkylene oxide. Some electrochromophore groups (e.g., viologen) are ionic and can serve as the ion source for the compositions of this invention.
The amorphous (co)polymers can be prepared by any of several different methods known to those skilled in the art. Many suitable (co)polymers are commercially available.
In some embodiments, the redox-active group itself can be directly attached to the polyalkylene oxide backbone. In other embodiments, it may be necessary or preferred, to attach a linker group to the redox-active group to provide the desired molecular structure or to provide a more reactive group to facilitate the incorporation of the electrochromic group into the backbone. By way of illustration, Examples 1 and 2 (below) describe the preparation of a polyethylene oxide with a bipyridilium moiety in the polymer backbone. Condensation reactions to form ester, amide or ether bonds are useful reactions for incorporating the linking, connecting and/or redox-active groups to each other and/or to the polymer backbone.
The amorphous polymer and the polyalkylene oxide-based polymer can be blended with additives such as plasticizers, electron mediators, and/or conductive particles. An electron mediator is an auxiliary redox active compound that acts as an electron-transfer "catalyst". During the redox reaction (which is a complex process and takes place in several steps), the electron mediator accepts electrons from the electrode (is reduced) or donates electrons to the electrode (is oxidized). In this activated form, the mediator is able to transfer or take electrons from the electroactive center of the electrochromic compound. Electron mediators include ferrocene, other metallocenes, their derivatives and mixtures; and phenazine and its derivatives and mixtures. Addition of salts can significantly improve the ion-conductivity of the blend and consequently enhance the electrochromic properties of the blend.
For most applications, to increase the mobility of the ions, the Tg of the amorphous polymer is desirably less than the ambient temperature in which the device made from the polymer is being used. In some embodiments of this invention, a Tg of less than 100� C. is sufficient; under some circumstances, the Tg of the amorphous polymer is desirably less than 50� C., or less than 25� C. or less than 0� C. The desired Tg can be achieved by the use of plasticizers and/or other additives.
Suitable plasticizers include tetraethylene glycol diheptanoate; triethylene glycol-di-2-ethyl hexanoate; 2-ethyl-1-hexanol; polyethylene glycol and its derivatives; adipates such as dihexyl adipate and dioctyl adipate; phosphates such as 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate, isodecyl diphenyl phosphate, tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate, triaryl phosphate ester blends, tricresyl phosphate, and triphenyl phosphate; phthalates such as alkyl benzyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and dioctyl phthalate; sebacates such as dibutyl sebacate; and sulfonamides such as toluene sulfonamide and n-ethyl sulfonamide.
Suitable conductive particles include inorganic particles formed from metals, ITO, carbon nanotubes, and TiO2. Suitable organic conductive particles can be formed from conductive polymers such as polyanilines, polypyrroles, polythiophenes and polythiophene copolymers. Suitable particle sizes include those from 10 nm-100 μm, preferably 10 nm to 1 μm.
The electrochromic electrolyte blends disclosed herein can be used to make elastomeric electrochromic films by standard film-forming techniques, and the films, in turn, can be used in laminate structures that are useful in architectural or vehicular applications. For example, the elastomeric electrochromic films can be laminated between layers of glass coated with transparent electrodes (e.g., ITO). When a small voltage is applied to the electrodes—typically from about 0.5 V to about 6.0 V—the transparency and/or color of the glass-and-film laminate structure can be altered. The type of change (e.g., color or opacity) and the degree of change (e.g., the optical density and/or color of the transmitted light) depends on the thickness of the film as well as the nature of the electrochromic moiety. Removing the voltage source, or reversing the polarity, will typically result in the color and/or opacity returning to their original state. This ability to reversibly change the optical properties of the blend composition by applying a small voltage makes it highly useful in articles such as sunglasses, helmets, visors, goggles, architectural glazing, automotive glazing, displays, signage, and mirrors.
Suitable film-forming techniques include casting, extrusion, spraying, and dip-coating. Free-standing film is preferred in some applications. Self-assembly of self-doped compositions into mono-layers or multi-layers on a substrate surface can be achieved by standard methods, including microcontact printing and/or flooding the metal or ITO surfaces.
Lamination processes are well-known to those skilled in the art and can be used to make laminate structures in which an elastomeric electrochromic film is sandwiched between two substrates. Suitable substrates include non-conductive substrates such as glass and polymer sheets or films. For use in electrochromic devices, electrically conductive substrates are used, such as metal sheets or foils, or non-conductive substrates coated or laminated with an electrically conductive material, such as ITO. Polymer substrates are especially useful for making flexible laminate structures, and suitable substrate polymers include polyesters (e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene naphthalate), and poly(ethylene-isosorbide terephthalate)—a high glass transition temperature (Tg) polymer comprising repeat units derived from ethylene glycol, isosorbide and a terephthalate moiety); polyimides (e.g., Kapton� polyimide); polyamides (e.g., Nomex� polyamide, Kevlar�) polyamide; polycarbonate; polyphenylene oxide; polysulfones; cellulosics; and polymer blends, such as polystyrene/polyphenylene oxide.
Fabrication of articles from laminated structures or coated substrates can be carried out using standard techniques for cutting and/or shaping the glass or polymer substrates.
Some embodiments of the present invention are illustrated by the following Examples. It should be understood that these Examples, while representing some embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and these Examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various uses and conditions.
All reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, Mo., and used as received unless otherwise indicated.
The meaning of abbreviations used is as follows: "min" means minute(s), "hr" means hour(s), "mL" means milliliter(s), "L" means liter(s), "μL" means microliters, "mM" means millimolar, "M" means molar, "mmol" means millimole(s), "g" means gram(s), "mg" means milligram(s), "V" means volt(s), "� C." means degree Celsius.
Dibromo-PEO was obtained by reacting thionyl bromide with polyethylene oxide (PEO). A solution of SOBr2 (5.197 g) in toluene (132 mL) was added to polyethylene oxide (10 g, molecular weight=200 g/mol) in the presence of triethylamine (2.53 g). The reaction mixture was then heated to 60� C. for 8 hr. After the reaction was complete, the triethylammonium hydrogen bromide was filtered off. The toluene was then rotovaporated off to obtain the desired brominated compound.
4,4′-Dipyridyl (1 g) was taken up in 20 mL of dry DMF. This solution was placed in a 100 mL 3 neck, round bottom flask connected to a N2 bubbler. Dibrominated PEO (7.427 g, prepared as in Example 1) was added neat to 4,4′-dipyridyl solution, with stirring. An additional 3 mL of DMF were used to rinse the rest of the dibrominated PEO into the flask. The flask was kept under a nitrogen purge while being heated at 80� C. for 7 h and at 90� C. for 54 h. The solvent was then removed via rotoevaporation.
In the dry box in a 20 mL vial with magnetic stir bar a solution in 6 mL of n-propanol was made from polyvinyl butyral (330 mg), triethyleneglycol-di-2-ethyl-hexanoate (132.5 mg) viologen-polyethylene oxide copolymer (29.7 mg, prepared as in Example 2), ferrocene (3.9 mg), lithium chloride (3.9 mg). This was solution number 1.
Separately, carbon nanotubes (31 mg, produced by CNI, Houston, Tex., using the HiPC� process) were placed into 15 mL centrifuge vial together with 200 mg of polyvinyl butyral, triethyleneglycol-di-2-ethyl-hexanoate (72 mg) and 15 mL of 1-propanol. The vial was placed into an ice bath and the ultrasonicator probe was inserted. The solution was sonicated for a total of 40 minutes. This was solution number 2.
For every milliliter of solution number 1, 10 μL of solution number 2 were added. This solution was stirred at 50� C. for 30 min.
From the solution prepared as in Example 3, 0.154 mm thick films were cast using a draw bar onto two glass slides coated with ITO (40/45 mm, Thin Film Devices, Anaheim, Calif.). The films were cast on the ITO-coated side. The two slides were placed them side by side with the two films in contact as is shown in

Cheap flights to Antalya, Turkey
Located at the heart of Turkey's Mediterranean Riviera, Antalya is a beautiful city with an ancient history that few other destinations can match. It's also close to some stunning beaches, and has one of Turkey's most vibrant cultural scenes.
Every traveler to the city should stroll around the Kaleiçi, Antalya's old quarter, which is close to the city's main bazaar where visitors can find every manner of Turkish souvenir. Wander past spell-binding mosques and elegantly restored Ottoman-era mansions before enjoying some locally caught seafood at the Roman harbour.
Antalya also offers more modern attractions as well. Children will adore the delights of Aqualand or the town aquarium, while just to the north of the city lies Turkey's premier zoo.
The city is also a great destination for ancient history lovers. The Turkish coast was one of the heartlands of Ancient Greece, and sites like Halicarnassus and Ephesos are accessible from Antalya. Even closer, and accessible by bus, travelers can head to the Roman town of Perge or the almost completely intact theatre at Aspendos.
One of the highlights of visiting the city is its abundance of delicious restaurants (and the low price of good food in Antalya). Choose from a bewildering variety of meze or have a meat feast - the service will always be prompt and the quality of the town's eateries is legendary.
The coast is another great attraction. Around the city, every brand of Mediterranean activity can be indulged in. Whether you adore water-skiing, snorkeling or jet-skiing, you will be able to catch a bus or taxi from Antalya and be at a dive school or idyllic beach in no time. Tours of the islands (and ferries to Greek islands) can also be easily arranged.
Best Time to Fly to Antalya
Between May and September, the Turkish Mediterranean is bathed in sunshine and the waters warm up quickly from late May, so beach fans should head over around then. For a warm out of season break, April can be an even better option. The ancient sites will be less crowded and restaurants will be delighted to welcome visitors.
Getting around Antalya
Getting around is made much easier by the city's excellent public transport system. City buses are comfortable and route maps are easy to follow. Getting to more remote archaeological sites and beaches is easily done by regional buses, which are known for their leg room and comfortable seating. Taxis are common as well, but beware that after midnight the fare rises by 50 percent.

There's no sure way to win in the NFL, but you can come real close — if you can force the other team to play Martha Stewart for you and bake six turnovers. Then you need a near-death experience to lose.
You can smell like a Chicago stockyard, be struck with a brain flatulence pandemic that leads to team-wide incontinence, and still win the game — if the team you're playing is uniformly color blind.
The Chargers suffered no such maladies Sunday in their 38-13 thumping of the Jacksonville El Interceptos. The local lads were really good in some areas, hardly great in others. The game was a mess. They made their own mistakes, but they couldn't hold a hurricane lamp to the Jaguars, who turned it over six times — four via air mail courtesy of quarterback David "The Postman" Garrard.
I don't know what the odds are of a team winning that turns it over six times, but if Jags coach Jack Del Rio had been told his team would have a half-dozen of the damn things, he would have told his players to forget their travel plans.
"We had six turnovers today," Del Rio would say. "We turned it over six times."
Did he use his fingers to count?
The last time San Diego forced six turnovers was Dec. 16, 2007, against Detroit. Guess who won 52-14.
The Chargers haven't been that opportunistic lately, but they were Sunday. Cornerback Antoine Cason had two interceptions and forced a fumble (the game of his life), and linebackers Brandon Siler and Kevin Burnett had one apiece. Burnett and safety Paul Oliver also recovered fumbles.
The Jags skinned themselves. The Chargers were so much in command, two interceptions tossed by quarterback Philip Rivers and a fumble that really wasn't a fumble by rookie tailback Ryan Mathews didn't matter.
"When you play with a lead it's a different ballgame," Del Rio rightly noted.
And let's not forget, turnovers or not, the Chargers were and are better than the Jags, although that doesn't always mean anything, either (see Chargers vs. Chiefs, Sept. 13).
You can take away the likes of tackle Marcus McNeill and receiver Vincent Jackson and the Chargers' offense is going to be sufficient most of the time. Because it's a good offense.
Rivers, despite the two picks that ticked off the hands of tight end Antonio Gates (intercepted in the end zone) and wideout Legedu Naanee, still had a quarterback rating of 119.0 after completing 22 of 29 attempts for 334 yards and three scores.
"I'd like to have those two throws back, because one was a 20-yard first down (to Naanee) and the one to Gates is a touchdown," Rivers said. "But, when your defense keeps getting turnovers and getting you the ball, and we've been through so much offensively, there's nothing that's going to rattle us."
I'm now convinced that, if doctors tried to X-ray Gates (5 catches for 57 yards and two touchdowns), nothing would show up. What other excuse can there be for defenses not covering him? No, he can't be seen on the field, and that's it.
The running game, nonexistent at times last year, was OK in the Kansas City slop last week and better Sunday. Mathews was fine — he was on the ground when he had the ball ripped out — and then he sprained his ankle with 3:14 left in the first quarter.
But backup Mike Tolbert is a 5-9. 243-pound Bad Medicine Ball who is hard to grasp. Filling in for Mathews, he carried 16 times for 82 yards and two scores.
"It's nice to come in as the second guy and not have a drop off," Tolbert said.
But the thing about the Chargers thus far — they actually won a game in September — has been the defense. With the exception of one play in Kansas City, it's played very well. Coordinator Ron Rivera has been innovative mixing this up.
"They brought a lot of creative looks," Del Rio said.
This time, they didn't allow a huge chunk, and special teams didn't have to worry about punt returns as it did in Kansas City, when worrying wasn't nearly good enough. Sunday's game gave us no clue if there's been improvement there.
"The things I want to see from our team — and we've been talking about it since March — was a physical presence and the ability to pressure, contact the quarterback, and create turnovers, and the ability to run the football," head coach Norv Turner said. "If we can do those things — and we did a lot of other things really good — and keep getting better at those things, we can be the type of team I've been talking about."
"It was nice and dry out there," Rivers noted, smiling.
Now why did he look at me when he said that?

The reason to solder a copper pipe is when you need to join two pipes together, but you don't want to hire a plumber. There are several ways to do this and in this session we explain how to solder a copper pipe. Another method is using an attachment that clicks the copper pipe into the attachment and in this way joins the pipes together. However, it is important to know how to solve how to solder a copper pipe in the traditional manner.
You will need equipment to solder the pipes together. First you will need a gas cylinder to heat the copper pipe; lead-free solder [it must be lead free if you are using it for drinking water]; flux paste with a brush to apply it [the flux is used to add it to the pipe prior to soldering].
You will also need something to clean the copper pipe. There are various tools or equipment to do this – it could be sand or grit paper or a tool that you slip into slip the pipe into, that has wire brushes. A wire brush is also useful and used to clean the inside of the copper pipe prior to soldering it together.
You will also need a pipe cutter that has a blade on the top and a blade on the bottom. Use the tool to cut the pipe. Turn it each time you snug and turn the pipe, the pipe cutter cuts through the copper a little more. Most cutters have built-in deburring reamers. Use it to remount the inside of the pipe – this is to smooth it out. Sometimes you will need to solder additional pipe to your existing fittings. If this is the case, be careful not to heat the pipe up too much when soldering.
When the pipe is clean both inside and outside, it is now time to apply the flux paste. You can use a brush or alternatively use a Q-tip or stick, particularly adding flux to the inside of the pipe. Do not use your fingers to apply the flux or it will contaminate and not solder correctly.
Now prepare to solder. Get your gas cylinder to heat the copper pipe on the top. Now get the solder, fold it at right angles and heat up the pipe at the back. Heat up the pipe at the joint front and place the solder at the back. You will know when it is hot enough as the solder will begin to melt. To summarise, heat the coupling at the front and then feed the solder over onto the opposite side. In this way, the solder is attracted to the heat source and so is spread. Done in this manner you will not need to solder around the complete side circumference of the pipe. Then call up plumbers Queenstown because you need their help.
When you have finished, take a wet rag and wipe it down. The wet rag helps to cool the pipe down. Always make sure you are wearing protective eye goggles and gloves when soldering.

Thinking of buying a franchise? Read this first
When looking to start up a small business many people look towards the franchise idea as an easy way to get going. Well, it's true that a franchise can be a good thing but there are a lot of things to take into consideration before signing on the dotted line. Below are what I consider to be the three main pros and cons of buying a franchise.
The pro points for buying a franchise
You are buying into a proven system.
The franchisor has taken many years to come up with a product or service that works and that can be systemised for use by anyone. You shouldn't underestimate how important systems and processes are in any business and the fact that a franchise has them all laid out for you can be a massive help. The fact that there is also someone there to ask questions of or seek assistance from can also be a great comfort in those early days.
You know there is a market for the product.
Sounds simple but many people who start a small business on their own don't do the market research and find that they end up with a product that doesn't sell because no-one wants it. If a franchise has been set up yo know that product/service has a market that you can be confident of tapping into.
You will benefit from the association of the company name.
Many people buy on confidence – they want the assurance that they're getting the quality they expect and are not going to get ripped off. They get this confidence from buying from a household name, or at least from somewhere that they have heard of. Also, when it comes to raw materials and marketing you will have a big organisation behind you to take advantage of.
The negative aspects of buying a franchise
Initial and ongoing costs.
You will have to pay for a franchise license, to allow you to use the name and the system developed by the franchisor. For some established franchises this can be eye-wateringly large. In addition you may also have to rent or buy suitable property. Once you have the franchise up and running you will probably have to pay some of your profits back to the franchisor on a monthly basis. Sometimes this is a fixed fee, other times it is a straight percentage of the profit you make. There are pros and cons to both types of system but the bottom line is it's still money you made that is going to the franchisor.
You are not your own boss.
The franchise system will have been developed to maximise profit and so to ensure you do that the franchisor will most likely require you to use it quite rigidly and enforcement of the system use will probably be laid down in the agreement documents. While this can be beneficial at the start there may come a time when your entrepreneurial mind wants to develop things and this can lead to frustration.
Legal restrictions.
The franchisor will want to do everything it can to protect its time, money and reputation. The result is that the agreement will be heavily biased in favor of the franchisor. This could mean that if you're not performing to the required standard they may impose additional restrictions on you or, in the worst case, take control of your business. Franchise agreements may also restrict you from conducting business of a similar nature for a period after the franchise agreement has expired which may limit your future business dealings too.
If you start a franchise and it goes well you will be full of praise for the system and will never need to refer back to the legal agreements; if it goes badly and recrimination sets in it can get very messy. There is no guarantee that a franchise will work but it can make it easier for people starting out in a small business. Fundamentally, the success or otherwise of a franchise depends very much on the business owner.

That's a large shell Mordin by BodatheyodaWatch
©2013-2017 Bodatheyoda
If you've ever played Mass Effect 3, then you should know that there are several characters who mention retiring to the beach. I've played around with the idea of using some of mine and my GF's Mass Effect figures to show them relaxing on the beach. When I took my vacation tot he beach this summer I knew those figures had to come with me, along with some suitable beach lounging equipment. In this photo its Garrus, Shep, and Tali watching a very ecstatic Mordin after he found a massive shell.
Yes! This is great!
Go Mordin! XD
OMG!! I love this!!! MOrdin in the background with the shell is classic
That was just the laugh I needed this morning! Thank you!
Hahaha hilarious!
Awww, those are adorable! I love the idea, especially of Mordin with that gigantic seashell XD
Mordin finally got to go to the beach

What if the police said I was at fault in a Wisconsin truck accident?
Frequently Asked Question Video for Wisconsin Personal Injury
If the police said you were at fault in a Wisconsin truck accident, that does not necessarily mean that you don't have a case. Wisconsin is a comparative negligence state which means that you compare the fault of each driver. If the jury finds that you are less at fault, you can still recover.

Posted on 02/26/2012 9:18:21 AM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
When MasterImage 3D announced two new displays for smartphones and tablets, you knew a hands-on would be inevitable. Based on the company's patented cell matrix parallax barrier, each display promises to eliminate much of the headaches typically associated with glasses-free 3D. As an added benefit of the cell matrix configuration, more light is allowed to pass through, which should prolong battery life. The smartphone display measures 4.3-inches at 720p resolution, while the tablet sizes up at 10.1-inches with a 1920 x 1200 layout. Generally, our thoughts on MasterImage's 3D technology were two-fold. First, it's absolutely true that the display is less nausea inducing, but when the image was viewed at its most proper angle, the three-dimensional effects were also less awe-inspiring. Nonetheless, the company has lined up partners for both displays and you should see the handiwork featured in consumer technology by the second half of this year.

Qualcomm to showcase MDP 3D tablet in 1920x1200
Qualcomm to showcase MDP 3D tablet in 1920x1200
MasterImage is a company that wants to make glasses free 3D tablets and phones a reality and it claims it got things better than the competition.
Back at CES had a chance to see a 4.3-inch demo and at the Mobile World congress 2012 that starts next week in Barcelona Spain, the company will showcase a 10.1-inch version powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
The 4.3 inch version weve seen looked better than Nintendo 3DS or LG Optimus 3D weve seen before. It didnt hurt our eyes and it was quite pleasant to look at. Qualcomm will demonstrate glasses free Mobile Development Platform (MDP) tablet with a WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution display. This sounds like a top notch tablet resolution and it is powered by Snapdragon S4 CPU. Premium content that will be showcased at both Qualcomm and MasterImage booths comes from 3net the Discovery/Sony/Imax 3D joint venture and 3D animated comics.
The MDP Tablet 3D Edition will feature MasterImage 3Ds Cell-Matrix Parallax Barrier technology and will run Android 4.0. The demonstration will feature Qualcomms 2D to 3D conversion technology, which enables real-time 2D to stereoscopic 3D conversion of videos and games.
Last week we spoke with Roy Taylor, GM and EVP MasterImage 3D Display and he confirmed that there should be some customers launching tablets and phones based on their latest 4.3 and 10.1-inch screens with 3Ds Cell-Matrix Parallax Barrier technology and there will be some tier one names coming with this stuff in early 2013.
Qualcomm sounds like a sweet deal for MasterImage as they convinced one of the biggest ARM manufacturers to work with their glass-free 3D technology. 3D done right might be the next big thing and having a phone or a tablet that can show both 2D and 3D at no extra cost, should like a good idea for not so far future.
Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 benched, returns impressive results
Wipes the floor with OMAP4 and Tegra 3
Qualcomms next generation S4 MSM8960 was put through its paces by PCmag and the new super-phone chip seems to be a very promising piece of silicon.
The MSM8960 is the first of Qualcomms next generation S4 series (Krait) chips and it is a 1.5GHz dual-core stamped out in 28nm. PCmag compared the new chip to Texas Instruments OMAP4460 of Galaxy Nexus fame and Nvidias Tegra 3, which we know from the Asus flagship Transformer Prime tablet.
The chip, stuck in a Qualcomm development platform rather than an actual product, was tested in AnTuTu, NenaMark2, Browsermark, SunSpider and CaffeineMark. The results? It managed to outpace the OMAP and Tegra in every single test, sometimes with a very wide margin. In SunSpider and Browsermark it was between 15 and 25 percent faster than the competition.
If you were expecting Nvidia to win back some dignity in graphics performance, think again. The S4 features Adreno 225 graphics and it outpaces Nvidia and TI in graphics tests as well. In NenaMark it scored 59.9, while Tegra 3 and OMAP4 managed 45.3 and 23.8 respectively. The only bench where the S4 lost to Tegra was AnTuTu.
The impressive results may sound a bit surprising, but it is worth noting that Qualcomms Krait architecture is loosely based on ARMs A15 core, while Tegra 3 sticks with the old A9. TIs next generation OMAP5 and Samsungs Exynos 5250 feature a similar A15 dual-core layout, which means we can expect excellent performance from them as well.

Freethay Early Origins
Staffordshire at Fradley, a village and civil parish in Lichfield District. Fradley heath formed part of the extensive waste of Alrewas-Hay, but was inclosed about 1805. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. The village dates back to the 12 century when it was first recorded as 'Frodeleye', or 'Frod's lea'. Alrewas and Fradley, was a large civil parish that was divided into the two new parishes of Alrewas and Fradley in 2009.
Freethay Spelling Variations
Freethay Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Freethay has been recorded under many different variations, including Friday, Fridaye, Freeday, Freyday, Feraday, Fareday, Fryeday, Farraday, Farady, Fridey, Faraday, Frieday, Fryday and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Freethays were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

An off-duty South Carolina police officer was in for a surprise this week after pulling over a female law student.
The incident began when the female driver passed and flipped off a vehicle that she says was impeding traffic by driving excessively slow in the fast lane.
The slow vehicle, which turned out to be an unmarked police car, immediately began tailgating the female driver and flashing its lights.
An off duty police officer, who was reportedly driving with a friend in the vehicle, approached the woman's car in an attempt to issue a citation.
After being asked if he was on duty, the officer flashed a police badge and asserted, "We're always on duty, mam."
The female driver then began asking if she was being detained, utilizing her knowledge as a law student.
Despite repeated attempts to ignore the question, the officer eventually admitted that he did not have the authority to detain her, causing the woman to put her car in gear and begin leaving.
Angered by the rights afforded to the driver under the United States Constitution, the officer admitted defeat and left the vehicle.
In the original video's YouTube description, the law student described the encounter in further detail.
"He pulled me over, not because he had reason to, but simply because he 'could' – this is evident by the first comment he made when he approached my car…" the description states. "While I have all the respect in the world for officers, and appreciate what they do for us on a daily basis, I will not tolerate abuse of power – and neither should you."
The brief confrontation highlights how heavily one simple phrase can shift an unwarranted police stop.

text: Can some Vancouver locals recommend a few restaurants that offer great food at affordable prices? My parents will be visiting next week and if I don't provide them with some local guidance, I'm afraid they'll end up eating at terrible tourist traps. In terms of price, I'd say no more expensive than $16 Canadian per entree. No fish restaurants or sushi as Mom doesn't eat seafood.

La Bunna, it is so good to hear from you and to know that you and hubby are doing well!! Also, I am so pleased that you can carry out your dad's wishes and at the same time get away with a friend. You'd better live it up, gal! You deserve it!
Now about old "grumblepants": I have 2 theories - 1. Perhaps when he was so sick, the little annoyances didn't get to him because he was too sick to notice or care. 2. He got an awful lot of attention for a long period of time when he was sick. Now that he has his new liver and is doing well....not so much attention. So that ticks him off and maybe also he thinks the grumbling will get him attention, albeit negative.
Just theories on my part. I'm no psychiatrist. Also, it could be that he isn't recovering quite as fast as he thought he would, so that is also bugging him. Somehow, my gut tells me #2 is the real reason, though.

WHEN 10-year-old Ebony Flentjar saw her father engulf in flames and desperately trying to put himself out, she knew she had to act quickly to save his life.
Ebony and her sister Jade, 7, were visiting their father, Daniel, who was deep-frying chips in a pot filled with oil when it caught alight on the stove.
Mr Flentjar rushed into the kitchen of his Parafield Gardens home to take the pot outside but spilt the oil on to his arms, further igniting the fire, and resulting in burns to almost a third of his body.
Ebony has been nominated for a Pride of Australia medal in the Child of Courage category after she alerted neighbours, who called an ambulance, to her father's desperate predicament.
She remained strong and calm by reassuring her younger sister as their father's neighbour — a stranger to the pair — looked after them while Mr Flentjar was rushed to hospital.
Ebony said she knew what to do having learnt about fire safety at school.
She said other children faced with similar situations should be brave and not feel scared about asking adults for help.
"I feel very happy and proud of myself and Jade because I was very scared and I did not like the feeling of my dad not being with me," she said.
Mr Flentjar said his daughters had displayed composure and maturity beyond their years by ensuring he received emergency treatment at a critical time.
"I don't know what I would have done if they were not there. I don't know how I would have got out the house," he said.
"They didn't really want to leave me at first but they had to help me get out.
"I'm immensely proud of them. They both gave me a card in hospital saying I was their hero but I wrote them both cards saying they were my heroes."
Mr Flentjar, who had to roll on the ground to put himself out, spent three weeks in the Royal Adelaide Hospital's burns unit and said he would not make a full recovery.
"I will never be able to move the same ... if it (the skin) doesn't grow back it's not all that bad, I'll just keep going," he said.

Tredz seems to have finally made an effort to be competitive price-wise, which is outstanding. However, the delivery time is definitely still hit and miss...which may lead some to still prefer the likes of Amazon. If Tredz can both be competitive on cycling products and deliver quickly, then it may become a real force. For now, however, the delivery is slow and unpredictable...which is why only 3 stars are awarded.

Motorists who drive erratically are wasting as much as $1,400 of petrol a year, a new NRMA study reveals.
The study, conducted using two Toyota Camry Altise vehicles, found drivers could make a substantial saving of 49 cents per litre based on driving around 20,000km a year and paying an average of $1.40 for petrol.
"Driving aggressively increases a car's fuel consumption by as much as 35 per cent," NRMA President Alan Evans said in a statement.
"Moving smoothly through the gears when approaching or leaving a stationary point such as traffic lights and keeping unnecessary weight out of cars are two effective ways to reduce consumption."
During the study, the cars were put through a speed test, involving one car accelerating and stopping smoothly at road cones placed 600 to 1,000 metres apart, while the other was driven aggressively.
The vehicles were also tested for their load capacities - one had its boot loaded with water containers and sand bags weighing 400kg, while the other remained empty.
"By loading one car with unnecessary weight, the test also showed substantial savings can be made if unused equipment or luggage such as golf clubs is removed from vehicles when not in use," Mr Evans said.
Testing found the "heavy" vehicle's fuel consumption increased by almost 24 per cent when loaded to its maximum capacity.
"The results of NRMA's test show there is no point trying to beat a few red lights or leaving heavy items in your car."

Pennsylvania's Storm Water Management Act (Act 167) was enacted in 1978. This Act was in response to the impacts of accelerated stormwater runoff resulting from land development in the state. It requires counties to prepare and adopt watershed based stormwater management plans. It also requires municipalities to adopt and implement ordinances to regulate development consistent with these plans (click here to view Ross' ordinance in compliance with MS4 ). Ross Township is part of the North Hills Council of Governments, which currently is the only comprehensive Act 167 management plan in the county. http://www.ecode360.com/31083039?highlight=stormwater#31083039
For a map of the release rates,click here.
It's important for residents to understand their responsibility with stormwater management. When rain falls, typically one doesn't think about the entire course of events the water flows and the pollutants that enter our water during each rainfall.
If you are a homeowner and have stormwater issues, you may refer to the Best Management Practices Guide for reference to help determine what the best option for your home. A rock sump is not your only option-- there are many alternatives. Please contact the Township if you have questions regarding Best Management Practices for your home.

The Green Edge
How Commercial Property Investment in Green Infrastructure Creates Value
Green infrastructure -- water quality management techniques like green roofs, tree plantings, rain gardens, permeable pavement, that mimic natural hydrologic functions -- has been proven to help solve major urban stormwater problems and improve the health and livability of neighborhoods. Cities and others have promoted these practices to commercial property owners as a way to improve stormwater management and, in some communities, to reduce stormwater utility bills. But relatively little information has been publicized about the additional value that green infrastructure, when used on private property, can provide to commercial property owners and their tenants.
Benefits of green infrastructure for private, commercial property owners
- Increased rents and property values
- Increased retail sales
- Energy savings
- Stormwater fee credits and other financial incentives
- Reduced infrastructure costs
- Reduced costs associated with flooding
- Reduced water bills
- Increased mental health and worker productivity for office employees
- Reduced crime

Mambo Italiano | 2003
Jump to
Maria and Gino emigrated from Italy to Montreal in the 50's and married after their arrival in "the new world," a world they still haven't quite gotten used to. Their world is shattered when their son, Angelo, decides to get a place of his own. "What is so wrong with living with your parents until you get married?" they ask. They are relieved however, when Angelo's childhood buddy, Nino, decides to move in with their son. After all, Nino is an old family friend and he's a respectable cop. Their relief is short lived, as they find out that Nino and Angelo are much more than mere roommates--they're (gasp) lovers! All hell breaks loose (Italian style, of course!) Horror is followed by a general outcry, disbelief is followed by indignation, the battlefield is cleared, and "tutta la famiglia" goes to war!

text: Myths and legends could be said to be the prototypes of modern novels. They are stories in their own right, tales that were passed on for generations. Even today, some elements from the old myths remain in our stories and occasionally, they serve as inspiration. This week's mythical element is: Anansi In African mythology, Anansi is a trickster god who is a spider, but he often appears as a man. The stories about him are mostly told in the way of oral tradition, and he is also often associated with skill in speech and wisdom. He is also seen as an example to be followed amongst the slaves as in the tales told of him, he manages to turn the tables on his oppressors. A very prominent god, there are so many tales about Anansi that there is a specific word for tales about him, which span a vast range of subjects. Your challenge is to write a story that incorporates your own take on this mythical element. The genre and setting of the story does not matter as long as the element remains recognisable.

The broad, long-term goal of our program is to advance knowledge of virus-host cell interactions by characterizing cellular cofactors essential for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV infects 170 million people worldwide and is major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. Understanding how this virus interacts with the host cell (e.g., what makes a cell susceptible to HCV infection) is of critical importance to the development of diagnostics, antiviral drugs, and a prophylactic vaccine. Our previous studies of pluripotent stem cells and directed hepatic differentiation demonstrated a correlation between hepatic specification during the differentiation process and permissiveness to HCV infection. Characterization of the cellular transition from nonpermissive to permissive revealed candidate genes that are involved in regulating viral susceptibility. One of these cellular factors interacts with HCV glycoprotein E1 and plays an essential role in the HCV life cycle. The experiments proposed here will determine the molecular determinants of HCV permissiveness during hepatic development and identify new cellular cofactors and potential drug targets for HCV therapy. The following experiments will be performed: (1) Suppression of putative proviral factors and overexpression of putative antiviral factors in stem cells. These will be followed by hepatic differentiation and HCV infection of the differentiated human hepatocyte-like cells (DHHs). (2) Mechanistic studies of a novel proviral factor whose role has been validated by our preliminary studies. Specific steps of the HCV life cycle will be examined, and the interaction between viral and host protein will be dissected. (3) In vivo experiments designed to assess the potential of genetically modified DHHs to repopulate mouse liver and confer HCV resistance to the chimeric liver. The results of the proposed studies will not only provide significant insights into the properties of the host cells that govern HCV susceptibility but also reveal new therapeutic targets for antiviral intervention.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and its associated diseases continue to impose a huge healthcare burden worldwide. No prophylactic vaccine exists to prevent HCV infection, and a better understanding of what makes a cell susceptible or resistant to infection will aid drug-development efforts. The proposed research will harness the power of stem- cell technology and a small-animal model to determine the molecular determinants of HCV permissiveness and reveal additional targets for therapeutic intervention.

Kind of Blue the only album Miles and Trane recorded together? You couldn't find anyone who knows about jazz?
I was at the performance on Sunday and that young man changed characters so effectively and energetically... even with a script, that actor rose to the occasion splendidly. Someone get him to Blumenthal.
I'd also give Caroline Renfro props as a first-time director for Appalachian Creative Theatre's Red Light Winter, one of the best shows I saw this year.
Can I mention that Perry is the worst reviewer that I have ever seen? I mean, time after time I am left wondering if he is simply drunk when he goes to a show. This is insane. Time and time again he mentions things that didn't happen, or recalls events incorrectly - the reviews are slapdash at best, and at worst it's like he was at an entirely different show than the one he's reviewing!
Seeing this show is truly a unique experience. Highly recommended.
just because of the name is worth seeing! good article will check it out next week.
Saw this show an loved it! QCTC has done it again!
Great show. Glad to see some new blood onstage. Next step: Now retire that old red Leather Couch. Its been in way too many CAST productions.
You must have seen a different 'Pippin' than we did. I would definitely not give the overhyped 'Kinky Boots' a better rating. Patina Miller and her gang of circus fiends did far more for the Broadway scene in their tiny little theatre than all of these other shows put together. I've never had so many random NYers approach me after any play to ask about it and rave over it. The dancing is there, the Fosse is definitely there, and the circus elements elevate that theme of 'how far would you go?' etc.; they don't detract. There wasn't a single performer that wasn't on the mark. Matthew James Thomas, Andrea Martin, Charlotte d'Amboise, and yes, the great Terry Mann were a brilliant ensemble.
Mr. Mann, by the way, got his start in 'Barnum' and he has that background before he took Broadway by storm. The juggling and whatnot were not new tricks, but an old dog coming full circle.

****/**** Image A- Sound A+ Extras C
starring Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary
written and directed by David Robert Mitchell
by Walter Chaw For me, David Robert Mitchell's The Myth of the American Sleepover occupies a space in recent nostalgia films alongside stuff like Adventureland or the theatrical cut of Donnie Darko. It properly identifies a certain period in adolescence as grand drama and surreal dreamscape--when everything takes on magnified import both romantic and Romanticist--and paints that world in rich, velvet strokes. Mitchell's follow-up, It Follows, exists in the same time and place, pools in the same crepuscular half-light of fading youth. It's a horror movie, it's true, and it has a bogey, sure, but what works about the film is that it's actually about a fear of experience as it progresses, inexorable and unstoppable. Its bad guy is time, should you survive--which is really, truly fucking terrifying.

If you were there, waving a sign, what would yours say? I want to see comprehensive immigration reform, so it'd say something like "We're all immigrants."
Will Hillary Clinton raise some havoc? I think the media has been trying to stir things up and make all that more interesting than it really is.
Who should Obama pick for vice president? It'll never happen, and there's lots of reasons why it probably shouldn't, but I don't think Hillary would be a bad choice.
Will Obama's acceptance speech be a historic occasion or a showbiz moment? It'll be important, the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
What would you change about the election process? Do away with the Electoral College. I'm worried about a repeat of 2000, when [Al] Gore won the popular vote but didn't get elected.
If you attended the DNC, what would your sign say? Something pro-life.
Who should Obama pick for VP? I don't think it should be Hillary. Their styles clash too much.
Will the Hillary camp create some drama? Speaking as a woman, I think estrogen breeds drama.
Who should John McCain tab as VP? Someone who, like him, tries to be bipartisan and speak for all the American people. Not someone from the far right.
Will Obama's acceptance speech be a statesman-like or theatrical event? Sadly, America is so media-driven and interested more in celebrity than in issues that it's necessary for candidates to be a bit of a showman.
What needs to be changed about the election process? We need a better method of vote counting.
Will you attend it? I didn't think I'd be able to get in, so I made other plans.
Who should Obama name as VP? Joseph Biden would bring a lot of experience and knowledge.
Who do you think McCain should pick as his running mate? Chuck Hagel, one of the few Republican statesmen. I'm from Nebraska and didn't like him originally, but came to admire him over the years.
What should we change about the election process? Do away with television advertising. A sound bite isn't discussion.
Will the Hillary camp stir things up? I suspect there'll be some controlled, pre-agreed-upon drama, but just to make a point.
Who should be Obama's VP? Bill Richardson. He has international and executive experience, and he's Latino.
Who should McCain's be? Somebody who brings him down.
Will Obama's acceptance speech make history, or will it be theater? A little of both. He's an incredibly gifted speechwriter and orator, so his speech will be remembered and replayed, but he's also a rock star.
What would you change about the election process? Eliminate the caucus system and go completely to primaries.
