en | N/A | N/A | I gave #2 the opportunity to pick anything she wanted to do on her last full day home before leaving for college. I knew what I wanted to do -- I wanted to cry my eyes out and beg her not to go, but instead I put on a brave face and made up my mind to go along with whatever she chose.
Anyway, we had one day left before leaving for Virginia and she wanted to paint pottery with her old Mom. She told me she thought of this Mother's Day present because although my cupboard is brimming full of coffee cups, I always choose the same one. Of course it is the one she painted for me about about twelve years ago. For some reason, coffee and the mornings always start off that much sweeter when I drink from this cup.
Can you guess what cup?
So off we went, and stopped for lunch at the cutest place called SNUG on the Square. My #1 has been raving about this place all summer long. Even the name of this place makes me smile. It is owned by Sandra who takes the time to get to know every customer who walks in the door.
It is as cute from the outside as it is on the inside!
SNUG is a great place to grab a muffin and a latte for breakfast.
The sign says it all ... cozy.
Lunch was positively delish. The adorable plates added to the colorful presentation.
After our tummys were full we headed over to paint some pottery.
#2 working hard on my soon to be second favorite coffee cup at Walls of Clay.
Next stop ... cutest little shoe shop in Texas...
Our favorite jewelry and accessory store - Nan Lee.
Love all the beautiful colors and textures of the handbags she carries.
Nan Lee is on the right, her personality is as cute as she is. I'm on the left and for some reason the camera lens did not work on my side... I am 30 lbs lighter and 20 years younger and by the way... jean skirts are coming back, I don't care what #1 and #2 say..
It's a week later, and I just picked up our finished works of art. When we painted our mugs we wouldn't let each other see the inscription that we wrote on them. When I looked at the one that #2 made me, that old lump in my throat that I worked so hard to get rid of on my trip back from Virginia came back again.
The one on the left is the one my girl made... the awkward one on the right is my masterpiece.
I spent a wonderful day with my #2 and it is a day I will always remember and always cherish in my heart.
Note to #1: If you are reading this... I love you and have great days with you too...next time I'll bring my camera and blog about it...
Happy Birthday to you, #2!!!

en | N/A | N/A | Visitors to the “windowsill” of the museum’s visitor information centre will have become used to picking up the latest free copy of Saddleworth Monthly. The curator of the museum has contributed many articles about local history since our inception in 2005 and the publication contines to actively support Saddleworth Museum’s events, room hire, exhibtions and promotions, alll free of charge.
Like all Saddleworth residents I appreciate the wonderful vibrancy of our community and set up Saddleworth Monthly in 2005 to publicise both our independent local businesses and our huge variety of community groups and events. The response I got was amazing! We are alreday past our 150th anniversary!
From a first magazine of just 28 black and white pages Saddleworth Monthly has now grown to over 100 pages an issue, all in full colour. It’s not just me who likes to support local businesses – we all do! The magazine also publicises all Saddleworth community group, charity, school and church events to residents at no cost – our What’s On pages are keenly read each month.
Saddleworth Monthly has since been joined by two other magazines: the West Saddleworth and Lees Guide and the Mossley Browser – both in the same winning formula.
I’m delighted to have twice won a national award: UK Community Magazine of the Month in 2008 and 2010! We were also shortlisted for ‘Best Editorial’ and ‘Inspirational Business Owner’ at the 2014 Independent Magazine Publishers Awards and ‘Best Front Cover’ in 2015.
Our magazines are a handy A5 size and are DELIVERED FREE directly into homes. Our mags hit residents’ doormats – they’re not just left lying about in public places. This has a massive impact on the responses our advertisers get – we have a very loyal readership that looks forward to our magazines arriving each month.
Unlike any other magazine or paper, ours have an INDEX so residents can find services easily and quickly.
I love reading newspapers myself, but the habit is to throw them out the next day. In contrast, people KEEP our magazines for a long time because they find them so useful.
But best of all they are COST EFFECTIVE! Our prices start from £30 plus vat. And in addition to these great prices, you get a great service – please get in touch to find out more. |

en | N/A | N/A | Are you at risk for a run injury? Try this self-assessment.
The Deep Squat is used to challenge ...ALL very important for running injury free.
In this video, I use two power balls of four pounds each. Using weight is NOT neccessary and NOT recommmended. Just hold your hands overhead, trying to keep them straight and overhead as much as possible. This is not an exercise, but a movement pattern assessment. Do not use heavy weight.
Try this out and lets us know how well you perform - E.
I am trying to improve my deep squat technique and performance. I am interested in your comment that 'twisting stretches would make such a difference', and wondered if you were able to describe, illustrate or demonstrate these, or any other stretches or exercises that you have found helpful.
I love the deep squat as an assessment tool. Unfortunately, few people, especially distance runners, are able to do this properly. We are all born with the ability to do this movement, just watch any toddler squat down do pick up something or draw with chalk on the ground. In the Western world, we lose this ability due to all the sitting we do and maybe even due to the fact we sit on toilets and no longer must squat over holes in the ground.
I suggest filming yourself from the front and side while performing the squat. If you have an IPhone, purchase the Slowmo app for $0.99. While watching yourself in slow motion you can see where the problems are quite easily.
The biggest problem is that most people's knees buckle inwards and do not stay aligned over the toes. This can be corrected by "spreading the floor" with your feet and driving your knees apart. Exercises like seated band abductions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfCHenrS5BY) and band walks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb7-_P5MmZk) are very helpful.
Read Dr. Stuart McGill's work on hinging at the hips - the squat movement is a movement of the buttocks backward, never a movement down. Driving the buttocks back and pulling with the hip flexors are two great cues.
Working on your squat will pay big dividends - it will help prevent lower extremity injuries and make your more efficient and faster.
Thanks Eric for the advice and great website to share ideas and information. Totally agree to keep things simple if possible.
Hey Martin - Please do not make this as complex as Gray's scoring system. My post was meant to raise awareness to this important movement and to give runners a simple and easy indication as to where they may fall with respect to athleticism and imbalances. You can make your own determination as to how difficult or easy this movement is for you. I have had runners score very high with "the system" and still be very deficient in very important areas.
Thanks Bob for the great response.
Thank you for the comprehensive explanation and information. The assessment and scoring seems quite complex to the uninitiated. Will investigate the link to FMS that you have kindly provided.
I'm fairly sure that I commented on this subject shortly after it was posted but don't see it in the older posts. I test. Although Eric may not agree with his source, it is a takeoff on the deep squat test from Gray Cook and DR. Lee Burton’s FMS (Functional Movement System). The FMS is a 7 step tool used to assess fundamental movement patterns. The deep squat test is the first of the seven movements. Here is a description of what it is designed to test.
If you go to this link http://www.movementbook.com/downloads/downloads.html and download the FMS scoring criteria PDF you can see the other tests as well as how the test is supposed to be done and scored. If you look at the deep squat test in the videovideo. The major difference is that the feet are spread wider than shoulder width and the feet are externally rotated. Those both make it easier to squat and may well be correct form for an actual squat but miss some other clues. For example, externally rotating the feet makes it easier to prevent pronation and the resultant valgus collapse at the knees (knees bend in toward the middle). E.G. if your dorsiflexion is insufficient and you try to squat you have to get the motion somewhere so letting your feet pronate feet gives you more range of motion at the ankle.
1. If the movement causes pain you get a 0 and should see a sports medicine professional.
4. Imbalances with a score of 2 and so on.
Note that the screen is hierarchical which means that if both test 6 and test 7 score a 1 then corrective exercises for test 7 are assigned. Only one segment of the test is worked on at a time because fixing the worst problem often fixes many problems. A score of 14 is considered to be "passing" regarding the risk of injury while performing your sport, in this case running. However, it doesn't guarantee freedom from injury nor does a score of 21, just that the higher the score the lower the theoretical risk.
Looking at the deep squat test in isolation doesn’t necessarily lead to any useful information about what the potential problems it might cause and what to do to fix them. Here is an example.
Let’s say that in doing the test you fall forward as you approach parallel and your knees collapse towards each other and you pitch forward. So your score is a 1. What causes it? How do you fix it?
It could be caused by a lack of dorsiflexion, weak/inactive gluteus medius, tight shoulders, tight hip rotators, kyphotic thoracic spine, tight quads, etc.. Suppose that you can get a 2 with your heels on a 2x6 as well as get 2s on all the other tests. In that case your lack of dorsiflexion may be the cause and if you don’t fix it you will probably get a foot of lower leg injury sooner or later. However if you never do the other tests you never know what else could be wrong. You can also have a problem with tightness in your shoulders or thoracic spine that could lead to other problems down the road or a weak glute medius that could eventually lead to an ITB or other leg injury. Although there are many assessment tools available, most of them test range of motion or isolated movement patterns and not integrated fundamental movement patterns.
Unfortunately not many runners know about this or have access to one. I have been certified for almost a year and have screened several runners and the ones that score less than 14 tend with asymmetries tend to be more injured than the ones that score higher.
A big journey starts with a small step. Hopefully you can pick up little pieces of information (shared experience) that will help you on your way.
Thank you for your comment. I understand the purpose of the squat a little more. My squat gives me a message that I have an inbalance somewhere. Yet, what to do with that information ànd understanding what exactly it means, is still unclear. I miss a little coherence on the site. I get fractions of information, but I was hoping for a little guidance that starts from zero and helps building up. But maybe I don't get the whole idea of the site? |

en | N/A | N/A | Q: Force relink when building in QT Creator I have a subdirs project which wraps a couple libraries and a main application. When I change something in one of the libraries the main application does not relink with them.. does anyone have a trick for getting an application to relink with its statically linked libs automatically when using QtCreator?
A: There is a workaround for this and also an interesting discussion on the subject (qmake seems to be the problem here) on the Qt Creator mailing list.
The workaround is to add a PRE_TARGETDEPS command to your main applications .pro file, e.g.:
PRE_TARGETDEPS += /path/to/your/lib.a
This forces the relink. |
en | N/A | N/A | Things could be a little tougher for the Titans this season.
The Tennessee Titans finished the 2021 season with a 12-5 record that was good enough to earn them the AFC’s top seed. Not a bad result when you consider they lost their best player, running back Derrick Henry, for the last nine games of the season. But the top seed in the conference didn’t help. They lost at home in the divisional round, cast aside as a minor character in the Cincinnati Bengals’ Cinderella story.
But they should be able to bounce right back into the mix for a Super Bowl title, right? Not so fast. While the odds are certainly not bad for the Titans, they’re going to face some competition. Here’s a look at their odds for 2022, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Despite a strong finish to the regular season and a healthy Henry, the Titans find themselves in a crowded second tier of Super Bowl contenders. Eight teams have better odds, including the Ravens and Bengals, and two teams have the same odds, including the Broncos in what’s a bit of a surprise.
Some of that has to do with a tough offseason situation. The Titans started the spring in the red for cap space. They can clear some of that up, but they’ve got a long list of priority free agents that they’ll have to make some decisions about soon.
The Chiefs and the Bills have the best odds of anyone in the AFC, and there are three other teams with better odds than Tennessee. Two more teams have the same odds as the Titans, including their division rivals, the Colts.
The Titans still have the best odds to win the AFC South, and their only real competition is going to be the Colts, who are sitting at +140 to win the division. |

Secondary outcomes included evaluations of changes over 2 years in 1) clinical disease activity, and 2) patient-reported disease activity, pain, functional ability and quality of life (QoL).
French study, that recruited adult patients with RA, psoriatic arthritis or axSpA, who were newly prescribed GLM. Patients were followed-up over 2 years; data were collected at baseline, 1 year and 2 years. This abstract presents findings originating from the axSpA cohort of the GO PRACTICE study. GLM persistence was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Clinical disease activity was apatient-reported disease activity ability with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and QoL with the EQ-5D and SF-12 questionnaires.
Results: From January 2015 to March 2016, 478 axSpA patients (constituting 63% of the total cohort) from 134 sites were included in the study. Mean age was 43 years and 55% were female; 61% were BN (n=291) and 39% were BP (n=187). Mean duration of axSpA illness was 5.5 and 10.7 years in BN and BP patients, respectively (p < .001). At baseline, most were prescribed 50 mg GLM monthly (97%); DMARDs, corticosteroids and NSAIDs or analgesics were co-prescribed to 34%,17% and 90% of axSpA patients, respectively. GLM persistence over 2 years was significantly higher in BN than BP patients (59.2% vs 45.1%, logrank p < .01). For BN and BP patients persisting on GLM at 2 years, disease activity (Table 1) and patient-reported outcomes showed significant improvements, with improvements being more important in BN patients. GLM was well tolerated in axSpA patients (n=478), with 46 (9.6%) discontinuing due to intolerance. In the BN group, 18 patients (6.2%) discontinued GLM due to primary treatment failure, compared to 28 BP patients (15%). GLM was re-prescribed to 213 (88%) of the 241 patients persisting on GLM at 2-years. Post-hoc multivariate analysis showed that being female was a risk factor for GLM discontinuation in axSpA (HR1.9, IC95% 1.4-2.6).

Why Rooster’s Testicles Important For Our Health
Our body is continually threatened by detestable external invaders:recent study in the eLife magazine has shed some light on how to protect the waiting and ovum of these attackers in order to seamlessly pass genetic information to our offspring.
Researchers at the RNA Biology Center at the University of Rochester have carefully examined the role of piRNA (a third class of interfering RNA that prevents the expansion of selfish genetic elements) in order to safeguard the integrity of genetic information in cells Germination. It is known that piRNA – a type of ribonucleic acid found in the testes and ovaries – acts as a shield to silence the genetic sequences of viral intruders. We also know that certain defects or mutations in piRNA can lead to infertility in humans and other animals. What we do not know, is how the piRNAs are generated.
To that end, a team led by Xin Li, a professor of biochemistry, biophysics and urology at the University of Rochester, carefully analyzed the testicles of the roosters. This type of bird houses a wide variety of viruses. When a virus infects a host, it does its best to survive. One method of survival is to insert your genetic material into the bird’s genome. It seems that for generations the virus accumulates mutations and eventually becomes innocuous for the animal. But, even so, the visitor has become part of the genetic material of the rooster.
The researchers focused on the avian leukosis virus, which infects birds and can lead to cancer in the roosters. Through molecular and genetic analysis they discovered that roosters convert old viruses into machines to convert piARN. When faced with a new avian leukis family), these ancient viruses produce piARNs that defend eir future offspring. According to the researchers, “our study shows how a carrier can activate a virus as a weapon to fight against future viruses in the future.” That is, the old viruses go from being an enemy to an ally in the future to fight new unwanted guests. |

All of the seventh-graders in her language arts class on the first day of school acknowledge that they have heard about Mrs. Bachi. The classroom was so quiet you could hear throats going "gulp" and hearts pounding.
She's still smiling. Her voice is still smooth and even. Students are sucking wind. They are obviously wondering: "Will I make it?"
Despite her reputation, Mrs. Bachi, who has been teaching since 1968, insists that she enjoys teaching and wants the best for her students.

en | N/A | N/A | The listing may tell you the price has been cut and the seller is motivated but bad photos, like the ones used to advertise 800 Grand Concourse #GJN, above, will not prompt a quick sale. Even though the asking price of $185,000 for this one bedroom in the Bronx is well below the median for the area, onths—no surprise there.
"It is very hard for someone to justify spending six or seven figures when they see photos up on a website that look like an afterthought,” says Daniele Kurzweil, a broker with Compass.
Bad or non-existent photos point to a lack of professionalism, says Phillip Salem, a broker at Triplemint (a Brick Underground partner). But it can also be a warning sign.
“Lack of photos on the seller-side absolutely hint at something dodgy,” he says. Unless the seller discloses the apartment is in need of major renovations, a listing without photos may indicate there’s a mismatch between what the seller says about the unit and what it actually looks like.
"The first photo a buyer sees should capture their emotions and they should be able to envision a future in the apartment. If the first photo they see is a fuzzy image of a messy apartment, no feelings are instigated," and he says the potential buyer or renter will walk away.
New Yorkers may even see more rushed listings as a result of the recent rule change that requires a landlord to make every effort to re-rent an apartment if a tenant breaks the lease, rather than relying on suing the tenant for all the unpaid rent.
If there are no photos at all or only pictures of the neighborhood, it may mean the apartment needs a total overhaul. Harrison says that's when it's important to "read the listing, which lends more information on the lack of photos." If the listing tells you to bring an architect to the viewing, that's code for "the apartment is a wreck." The agent may also indicate pictures are coming soon, when renovation work is completed.
Sponsor apartments are perhaps more likely than other listings to have bad or non-existent photos. That's because they are usually former rental apartments and while a sponsor will want a good price, they may not be as motivated as a seller whose apartment is their major asset. |

Ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3), obtained from an abundant natural source, sugar, was thermochemically modified with dicyandiamide and thiourea as well as by classical oxidization with hydrogen peroxide to introduce specific surface groups. Thermochemical modifications resulted in carbon with almost unchanged porosity and altered surface chemistry while porosity of H2O2-treated carbon was seriously deteriorated. The obtained carbons were tested as sorbents of diclofenac, considered as one of the emerging water contaminants. Changes in porosity and surface chemistry of modified carbons resulted in significant differences with regard to the uptake of diclofenac. Dicyandiamide-modified carbon showed highest uptake of drugs, reaching 241 mg g−1 that is attributed to its developed microporosity as well as surface chemistry composed of basic groups facilitating electrostatic interactions with diclofenac anions. Desorption study showed that diclofenac is strongly bonded, albeit with a different degree depending on the modification of the CMK-carbon. The obtained results were compared with up-to-date literature regarding sorption of diclofenac by carbon-based sorbents.
Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) have been widely studied due to numerous advantages, including large surface areas and well defined in shape and size mesopores, as well as the possibility of further structural or chemical surface modification. OMCs can be considered as prosperous green-oriented s, since they can be derived from an abundant natural source, sugar/sucrose. The first fabrication protocols were based on the hard-template method (also called nanocasting) which involves replication of the presynthesized mesoporous silica scaffolds by filling its pores with organic precursor followed by carbonization and removal of sacrificial template [1,2,3]. Simultaneously, another protocol was developed where micelles of amphiphilic surfactant (usually triblock copolymer Pluronic P123) are acting as the template for the organic precursor [4]. Pyrolytic removal of the sacrificial template results in a carbon structure with mesopores. This self-assembly route is known as soft-templating. Theoretically, a plethora of organic precursors can be used, however, most frequently, phenol, resorcinol, formaldehyde, or carbohydrates are preferred. Apart from the two principal fabrication strategies mentioned above, there are some alternative ways to obtain mesoporous carbons, including mechanochemically induced self-assembly [5], sol-gel method [6], or other approaches [7]. Some of them were also developed to produce ordered porous carbon films [8].
Perspectives for potential applications of mesoporous templated carbons are broad and include, among others, removal of hazardous pollutants [9,10], catalytic processes [11,12], energy storage [13,14,15], and controlled drug delivery systems [16,17], as well as bioadsorption and biocatalysis [18,19]. The hydrophobic nature of OMCs makes them often poorly suited for removal of different species from aqueous systems due to the limited wetting of the sorbent surface resulting in restricted penetration of the pores by the molecules intended to be adsorbed [20]. In such cases, surface modification with appropriate surface functional groups is a strategy to overcome those difficulties [21]. A comparative study on adsorption of several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by activated carbon and soft-templated OMCs revealed that the pristine and CO2 oxidized mesoporous carbons have significantly better adsorption performance than classic microporous activated carbon. The adsorption mechanism was explained by π electron interactions between the widely used anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen/naproxen and carbon surface because of the possibility of forming Lewis acid-base complexes or hydrogen bonds [22]. Granular OMC was used for removal of several antibiotics, and the obtained carbons again proved to be better sorbents than classic activated carbon. The proposed adsorption mechanism was explained by complexation reactions and dispersive forces between the π–π* electrons in the graphene layers of the carbon and tetracycline aromatic rings [23]. Another interesting study on adsorption of antibiotics showed that OMC materials can provide fast adsorption kinetics and relevant adsorption uptakes. The strong adsorption of tetracycline was explained by the interaction of its O and N groups (e.g., phenol, amine) with the graphene surface [24].
To date, several modification protocols have been applied in order to manipulate the surface chemistry heterogeneity and structural features of ordered mesoporous carbons. Most of them are based on chemical oxidation achieved by using different agents, like (NH4)2S2O8, H2O2, H3PO4, or HNO3, which leads to the formation of oxygen functional groups (i.e., carbonyl, carboxyl, hydroxyl, phenol, and lactone ones) during the oxidation process [10,25]. Although HNO3 oxidation can result in the formation of N-containing functional groups, they are often unstable [26]. Another approach relies on the use of the heteroatoms-rich metal-free precursor for synthesis of OMC resulting in fabrication of mesoporous carbons with elevated content of heteroatom functionalities [26,27]. The main disadvantages of the latter method are: (1) Higher cost of the final material due to the use of precursors, which are usually more expensive than classical precursors, and (2) emissions of hazardous compounds during pyrolysis, like HCN or NH3 [26].
It is often reported that the introduction of surface functional groups can significantly enhance the sorption capability against targeted hazardous compounds. Nevertheless, the modification strategies beyond classical oxidation treatments are rarely reported, despite the fact that heteroatoms, like sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen, can generate surface polarity [26]. Surface chemistry of the OMC materials is similar to that of classical activated carbons, so the methods followed for activation of classical carbon-based sorbents (e.g., microporous activated carbons) could be also utilized to modify OMCs. Among them, thermal treatment of the carbon materials previously impregnated with substances bearing desired heteroatoms is among the most efficient, however, not widely applied strategies. Such thermochemical treatment can lead to a remarkable doping of the carbon structure while keeping its mechanical and structural properties unchanged.
In this paper, we report the synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (Carbon Mesostructured by—Number 3) and its subsequent modification using two paths: (1) Classical low-temperature wet oxidation using H2O2 and (2) carbonization at 800 °C of dicyandiamide- and thiourea-impregnated CMK-3 carbons. The effects of the modification treatment on the resulting surface chemistry and porosity of the adsorption performances of the obtained carbons were also investigated. Diclofenac was chosen as model adsorbate since it is representing a new class of emerging contaminants (pharmaceuticals). N are of huge concern due to their widespread use and intensive discards mainly from households and hospitals [28]. To the best of our knowledge, modified OMCs have not been tested yet as potential sorbents of diclofenac so this work is the first attempt to study in detail the adsorption of this drug. Another novelty of this study is that not-yet-explored postsynthesis modification of OMCs by dicyandiamide and thiourea was thoroughly investigated to verify if the adsorptive capabilities of modified carbons can be altered upon the surface chemistry and structural alterations.
The following reagents were used as received: Pluronic P123 (P123, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, 99%, ABCR GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), HCl (36%, POCH, Polish Chemical Reagents, Gliwice, Poland), ethanol (EtOH, 99.8NaOH (H2SO4 (96%, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), sucrose (food sugar, Pfeifer & Langen GmbH & Co. KG, Cologne, Germany), H2O2 (30%, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), dicyandiamide (99%, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), thiourea (>99%, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), diclofenac sodium salt (DICL, >98%, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA). The above-mentioned chemicalsDeionized water (DW, resistivity <17.5 mV cm) was obtained from a Millipore system (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).
Synthesis of SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous Number 15) template was conducted by the procedure described below. Five grams of the symmetric triblock copolymer P123 was dissolved in 180 mL HCl solution (2 M (mol L−1)) under vigorous stirring (500 rpm) at 40 °C. After complete dissolution of P123, 50 mmol of TEOS was added dropwise during 150 s. The mixture was stirred for 24 h, transferred into the oven and aged for 48 h at 100 °C (2 °C min−1) under static conditions. After the hydrothermal treatment, the solid material was recovered by filtration and subjected to a triple extraction by 255 mL of 0.2 M HCl in ethanol at 78 °C for 6 h. During the extraction process the suspension was stirred manually every 30 min. Finally, the received material was thoroughly washed by ethanol and water (until reaching the neutral pH of the filtrate), followed by drying at 100 °C for 24 h. Physicochemical characterization of SBA-15 template is presented in Figure S1.
First, 7.5 g of sucrose was dissolved in 30 mL of water containing 600 µL of 98% H2SO4 under stirring at 300 rpm, followed by the addition of 6 g SBA-15. The mixture was heated at 100 °C for 6 h in an oven and then the temperature was raised to 160 °C (2 °C min−1) for another 6 h. The impregnation with sucrose was repeated by using a solution of sucrose in water (6 g of sucrose and 37.8 mL of water) and 385.8 µL of 98% H2SO4. Once again, the mixture was kept at 100 °C for 6 h and at 160 °C (2 °C min−1) for another 6 h. The obtained Si/C composite was carbonized at 900 °C for 3 h under nitrogen flow (1 L min−1). Heating rate was 10 °C min−1. SBA-15 template was removed by shaking the sample with 1M ethanol/water solution (volume ratio 1:1) of NaOH for 5 hours at 100 °C. After that, the sample was thoroughly washed with 1M HCl and water until Na concentration in filtrate was <1 mg L−1 (measured by F AAS (Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry) technique), followed by drying at 120 °C for 24 h. This unmodified sample was denoted as P-CMK.
First, 0.2 g of CMK-3 was placed into a beaker filled with 10% H2O2 (50 mL) and the mixture was heated for 4 h at 90 °C in a water bath under stirring at 300 rpm. Afterwardsat 120 °C for 24 h. This oxidized sample is abbreviated as H-CMK in the text.
First, 1 g of CMK-3 was added to a 120 mL aqueous solution containing 4.2 g of dicyandiamide or 16.6 g of thiourea. The carbon slurries were stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Next, the impregnated solids were recovered by filtration and dried at 80 °C for 24 h. Finally, they were carbonized at 800 °C (rate: 10 °C min−1) for 40 min under N2 flow. Sample modified by dicyandiamide is denoted as D-CMK and by thiourea as T-CMK.
The nitrogen isotherms were measured at −196 °C using a Quantachrome 1200e after degassing the samples at 120 °C in vacuum for 12 h. The micropore (Vmic) and mesopore (Vmes) total pore (Vtot) volumes and pore size distributions (PSD) were estimated using the desorption branch of the isotherm by quenched solid density functional theory method (QSDFT) with a slit-shaped pore model applied [29], using ASiQwin 3.0 software zeta potential was evaluatSuspensions were prepared by dispersing 2.0 mg of ball-milled samples in 2 mL of 1 mM (mmol L−1) KCl. The pH of an aqueous solution of drug or 1 mM KCl was adjusted by addition of the proper amount of 1 M HCL or 1 M NaOH solutions. The pH measurements were accomplished using pH meter CP-401 (Elmetron, Zabrze, Poland) equipped with a glass electrode after proper calibrationMulti-Chamber Analytical System (Prevac, Rogów, Poland) equipped with monochromatic Kα-Al radiation (1486.6 eV (electron volt)) (Gammadata Scienta, Uppsala, Sweden) and an X-ray power of 450 W. Binding energies were referenced to the carbon C1s peak at 285 eV. Empyrean (PANalytical, Malvern, UK) diffractometer (CuKα radiation) working with 0.02° size step and 10 s time step was used to record powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The inspection of the surface of the CMK-3 was done by using the scanning electron microscope Carl Zeiss Ultra Plus (Carl Zeiss, Jena,BrukerAXS (Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany). The microscope was alsos. All experiments were carried out under required conditions (20-kV acceleration voltage and 5-nA probe current). Raman spectra were measured on an inVia Reflex (Renishaw, Wotton-under-Edge, UK) dispersive Raman microscope with an ion-argon laser (514 nm, 20 mW). Sodium concentration in water solutionser (F AAS) (SpectrAA 880, Varian, Australia) equipped with an air–acetylene burner. Spectral bandwidth of 0.5 nm, acetylene flow rate of 3.0 L min−1, and air flow rate of 13.5 L min−1 were conventional working parameters. F AAS measurements were performed using Na hollow cathode lamp (Varian, Australia) at wavelength 589.0 nm, 0.5-nm slit, and 5-mA lamp current.
In each experiment, ~10 mg of adsorbent was added to 20 mL of an aqueous diclofenac (DICL) solution and shaken using MaxQ™ Mini 4450 orbital shaker (Waltham, MA, USA) (150 rpm) for 48 h (only in the case of kinetics measurements, contact times varied to collect kinetic curves, namely 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 12, 24, 48 h). The initial DICL concentrations used to collect isotherm data were: 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 250, 400 mg L−1. The adsorbed amounts were calculated from the mass balance according to the formula, a = (ci − cj)·V·m−1, where a is adsorbed amount (mg g−1), ci is the initial DICL concentration (mg L−1), cj is the final DICL concentration the adsorbent (g). DICL concentrations were measured using the UV-VIS spectrometer Specord 200 (Analytic Jena, Jena, Germany) at wavelength 278 nm after filtration of the solution through a 0.45-µm syringe filter. All the experiments and measurements were run at 20 °C.
The chemical modification of the initial mesoporous carbon CMK-3 was achieved by three routes, as schematically presented in Figure 1. Two of them are based on an impregnation/carbonization-based route. Initially, CMK-3 was impregnated with the N-rich precursor (dicyandiamide) or N-/S-rich one (thiourea), followed by pyrolysis under inert gas atmosphere. These modification procedures have been recently reported by us to modify activated carbon fiber textiles which are typical microporous material [30,31]. As we showed, the properties of the modified microporous textiles were significantly altered. The choice of dicyandiamide and thiourea as modifiers was made due to their rich content of nitrogen and/or sulfur; at least some fraction of those heteroatoms is expected to be incorporated in the CMK-3 framework.
The third obtained sample was received following a wet oxidation treatment with H2O2. The former two treatments were previously applied to the nanoporous carbon textiles [30,31], while the third one is a classic wet-oxidation modification process.
The morphology of the initial and modified OMCs was evaluated by SEM (Figure 2 and Figure S2). The images reveal a typical ‘sausage-like’ structure characteristic of OMC materials [10], i.e., micrometer-size bundles of aggregated rods. This morphology is also typical of SBA-15 template [32], which confirmed a good SBA-15 to CMK-3 replication process. The morphologies of the modified OMC materials resembled each other and also that of initial P-CMK material, which means that the morphological changes caused by modifications were negligible.
The changes on the structural features were examined using nitrogen sorption measurements. The isotherm of all the samples (Figure 3a) had a typical shape for CMK-3 materials and can be classified as that of type IVan [33]. The capillary condensation step occurred at relative pressures of about 0.40, which corresponded to the primary mesopore size of about 4 nm. The corresponding pore size distributions (Figure 3b) revealed two dominant pore fractions for all the samples with the maxima centered at ~1.0 nm and ~3.1 nm. Only in the case of the sample H-CMK this maximum was shifted towards larger pore size of ~3.4 nm, testifying to significant pore enlargement in the course of H2O2 oxidation. There were notable differences of micropore and mesopore volumes between the samples (Table 1). Dicyandiamide treatment (sample D-CMK) resulted in higher micropore and mesopore volumes when compared to the initial sample (P-CMK), while treatment with thiourea (T-CMK) did not change the porous structure significantly. On the contrary, H2O2 treatment (H-CMK) led to a drastically lowering in volume of both micro- and mesopores. The same trend was observed with relation to SBET (specific surface area estimated according to Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method) values. Thus, the proposed thermochemical treatments with the use of dicyandiamide and thiourea as modification agents resulted in better preservation of porosity, while traditional wet oxidation process evidently destroyed significant parts of the porous structure.
XRD analysis (Figure S3) revealed the presence of three reflections located at 2θ angles ~1.0°, 1.7°, and 2.0°, respectively, for all the samples apart from H-CMK. These XRD signals were indexed as (10), (11), and (20) reflections, and corresponded to an ordered mesoporous structure with a 2D-hexagonal p6mm symmetry [34]. In the case of the H-CMK carbon, only (10) XRD reflection at 2θ angle ~1.0° was observed. This observation is in accordance with porosity results showing significant deterioration of the porous structure.
Raman spectra (Figure S4) showed two bands typically recognized for graphitized carbon materials: D band at ~1350–1358 cm−1 and G band at ~1591–1595 cm−1. The G band was assigned to the vibration of sp2-type carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, while the D band was related to the defects and disorders in structures of carbon materials. The relative intensity ratio of D to G band (ID/IG) is considered to reflect the graphitization degree of the materials [27], however, it should be interpreted with caution. The CMK-3 carbons were only slightly graphitized and should be considered as sp2-bonded carbons composed mainly of large polycyclic aromatic molecules rather than well-aligned graphitic domains [35]. Graphitization requires temperatures exceeding 2500 °C or sometimes lower (~1000 °C) but only with the presence of metal-based catalysts enforcing local graphitization [36,37]. It was demonstrated that the apparent G-band may result from two overlapping signals: a proper G-band but also D’ band [38]. D’ band is a disorder-induced band centered at ~1620 cm−1 which is frequently observed in the Raman spectra of disordered graphitic materials like graphene oxide but also for amorphous carbons [39]. The ID/IG-apparent ratios (Table 1) indicate that the oxidation process of P-CMK carbon had little effect on the ID/IG value. In the case of D-CMK and T-CMK carbons obtained by thermochemical modification of pristine CMK-3, the ID/IG value increased (especially in the case of T-CMK), thus their graphitization degree was lower in comparison to P-CMK material. Surprisingly, the ID/IG-apparent ratio of the H-CMK carbon is almost the same as in the case of the pristine P-CMK carbon, which may result from the increase of the relative share of D’ band in the apparent G band. Nevertheless, the ID/IG-apparent values were relatively close to each other for all the carbons studied.
Additionally, the surface chemical properties of the samples were also thoroughly investigated. In Figure S5 the values of zeta potential for all the studied samples as a function of solution pH are presented. All curves intersect with pH axis at different pH values. These pH values are corresponding to the zero value of zeta potential and they are known as isoelectric points (pHIEP). Values of pHIEP clearly differed between individual samples: P-CMK and H-CMK had pHIEP values below 5 (4.5 and 3.1, respectively), most probably related to an abundance of surface oxygen groups. Obviously, after the H2O2 treatment, the number or/and character of those groups changed, which implies the noticeable shift of pHIEP towards lower value. In the case of samples T-CMK and D-CMK, the value of pHIEP was high (8.4 and 8.0, respectively), indicating serious changes in surface chemistry of that samples as a result of thermochemical modification with dicyandiamide or thiourea.
carbon–OH ⟺ carbon–O− + H+ (8 ≤ pKa ≤ 11).
To look more closely at the changes in surface chemistry heterogeneity as a result of the followed modifications, the superficial chemistry was inspected also by two quantitative methods: XPS and EDS (Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy). The first one is considered a surface-sensitive technique enabling determination of the surface composition to a depth up to several nm [40], while the second, up to several µm [41]. The first interesting conclusion was that the results collected using both techniques were nearly compatible (Table 2), albeit with two important exceptions, which will be discussed later in detail. XPS analysis reveals that the carbon content for all samples but H-CMK was higher than 91%. Highest carbon content for D-CMK carbon (93.9%) resulted most probably from deposition/incorporation of dicyandiamide fragments formed in the course of its thermal decomposition. This effect can be linked with the further development of the porous structure during dicyandiamide modification (cf. Table 1). In the case of T-CMK, the carbon content was almost unchanged, while significant decrease of carbon content to 83.7% was observed after wet oxidation using H2O2. In the same time, the oxygen content for H-CMK increased up to 15.9%, indicating the oxygen-rich surface chemistry of this sample. In contrast, thermochemical treatment with dicyandiamide and thiourea resulted in decreased oxygen content (5.2% and 4.5%, respectively) when compared with the initial P-CMK carbon (7.0%). A similar trend was observed in the case of porous carbon textiles modified with dicyandiamide and thiourea in the same way [31]. The presence of nitrogen was not evidenced by XPS for the D-CMK carbon, however, nitrogen was detected by EDS elemental analysis (1.1%). The most plausible explanation can be that the nitrogen moieties were located in the interior parts of the D-CMK structure, which was inaccessible for XPS due to the scanning depth limited to several nm. Noticeable relative differences of N and S contents by two techniques again should be attributed to the specific locations of the heteroatoms in the interior carbon matrix, thus XPS-inaccessible parts of carbon framework.
Deconvolution of the C1s and O1s core energy levels along with survey spectra is provided in Supplementary Materials (Figures S6–S8), while its gmost intensive component after deconvolution of C1s core energy level located at 283.9–284.2 eV was assigned to sp2-bonded (C=C) carbon structures, which were rather large polycyclic fragments than graphitic domains. The relative contribution of this signal was ~90% for P-CMK and D-CMK-3 carbons and ~85% for T-CMK and H-CMK carbons. Interestingly, T-CMK had elevated contribution of sp3-bonded (C–C) carbon fragments, which suggested partial cleavage of double C=C bonds, however without significant incorporation of oxygen species. The deconvolution of C1s signal shows that a wide range of different functionalities was present on the carbon surface, typical for carbon-based materials, although with different concentrations. The most striking feature of H-CMK was its high content of strongly acidic carboxyl groups (6.0%), while for the rest of the samples this content was significantly lower (0.0% for P-CMK, 1.8% for D-CMK, and 2.1% for T-CMK).
The deconvolution of O1s core energy level resulted in four signals for P-CMK and H-CMK and three signals for D-CMK and T-CMK (Figure S8). Their presence testifies to the abundance of different oxygen species on the surface, albeit with different relative shares [30]. The two most important observations coming from the analysis of deconvoluted O 1s core energy level were: (1) H-CMK exhibited significant contributions of all types of oxygen species, with the most prominent presence of strongly acidic carboxy groups, and (2) D-CMK and T-CMK had no strongly acidic carboxy groups but contained almost entirely weakly acidic phenols and basic ether groups.
In the case of T-CMK carbon, the deconvolution of N 1s and S 2p’s core energy levels resulted in the appearance of three or two signals, respectively. The most intensive component of N 1s core energy level located at 398.7 eV was assigned to pyridinic nitrogen and/or imine [30]. Two other components of N 1s core energy level located at 400.1 eV and 401.5 eV corresponded to pyrrolic nitrogen/amine and quaternary nitrogen, respectively. Both pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen species can be located at the edges of graphene planes and quaternary nitrogen can be located inside graphene layer. Aromatic sp2-hybridized nitrogen, such as in pyridine, and quaternary nitrogen led to substantial electron deficiency in the aromatic ring, which provided a positive charge on the graphene surface. On the other hand, the S 2p’s core energy level components located at 164.2 eV (S 2p3/2) and 165.4 eV (S 2p1/2) corresponded to thiols, bisulfides, and R2-SO groups, which can be located at the edges of graphene layers [30].
Those considerations were confirmed by observing the initial pH values (see Table 1) of the solution containing carbons immersed in water and stabilized overnight. It can be seen that the initial pH of CMK-P carbon was 4.5, indicating an abundance of acidic oxygen groups (e.g., carboxyl), which hydrolyze releasing H3O+ ions, resulting in lowered pH value. H2O2 oxidation resulted in an even more acidic surface (pH = 3.0) that suggests remarkable increase of the oxygen acidic groups on the surface, which was clearly confirmed by the deconvolution of O 1s core energy level. In contrast, the initial pH of both thermochemically modified carbons was basic (i.e., 7.8 for D-CMK and 8.3 for T-CMK), indicating basic surface functionalities. Again, this was in total agreement with the deconvoluted O 1s core energy level, where abundancies of basic ether groups were present in the case of those thermochemically treated carbons. For better clarity in Figure S9 content of functional group versus pHIEP of the carbons studied was presented.
It should be noted at this point that the acidity/basicity balance of carbons was not only related to the presence of more or less acidic surface oxygen functionalities but also to the delocalized π-electrons in polyaromatic/graphene domains, which had a basic character, i.e., protons were hydrated according to Cπ + 2H2O → CπH3O+ + OH− [42]. Thus, the analyzed surface basicity was not straightforward because it was not entirely associated with surface oxygen complexes. Three general observations derived from the literature can be shortly summarized as following [42]: (1) Acidic sites were associated with the surface oxygen complexes, although some of them were less acidic (e.g., phenols) while others were more acidic (e.g., carboxyls) [43]; (2) basic sites were concentrations of delocalized π-electrons within the polyaromatic/graphene domains of the carbon structure; and (3) the increase of the nitrogen content of the polyaromatic/graphene domains enhanced remarkably the basicity. Considering all those aspects, it can be concluded that the basicity of the D-CMK and T-CMK carbons resulted from both simultaneously occurring factors: The increasing content of delocalized π-electrons and decreasing content of the acidic oxygen groups, during both thermochemical treatments, oxygen groups were stripped from the surface. Since dicyandiamide and thiourea molecules do not contain oxygen, the stripped oxygen species cannot be replaced by other oxygen species. As a result, thermochemical activation led to materials with increased carbon content and decreased oxygen content. It was demonstrated before in the literature that the surface basic sites of carbons are mainly of the Lewis type [44]. Additionally, incorporation of basic nitrogen groups also remarkably contributed to the increased basicity. In the case of H2O2 oxidation, the opposite processes occurred: large amount of acidic oxygen groups were generated which localized π-electrons, thus suppressing the effect of the π-electrons responsible for carbon basicity. XPS revealed that carbon content dropped from 91.0% to 81.8% during H2O2 oxidation with a simultaneous increase of oxygen from 7.0% to 15.9%, which clearly supported those considerations.
Well-developed porosity and rich surface chemistry make the obtained materials good candidates to be used as sorbents. Two main reasons make the obtained carbons potentially useful for drug removal: (1) a mesoporous structure providing fast transport of bulky drug molecules by diffusion through the mesopores towards the adsorption centers, and (2) tunable surface chemistry, which can be used to tailor the strength of interactions between adsorbates and the carbon surface. To verify this hypothesis and if it is applicable for pharmaceuticals’ removal, and specifically of diclofenac, adsorption experiments were conducted. On the basis of our previous studies [34,45] as well as the literature review (see Table S2), the pH value was set as 5.5–6.0. Around pH ≈ 4, the formation of not-dissociated acidic and minimally soluble form of diclofenac took place (pKa value of DICL was 4.15 [34]) which made the interpretation of the adsorption results erroneous due to DICL precipitation. However, at pH > 5.5, the soluble ionized form of DICL was almost exclusively present in the solution, which made it possible to run adsorption experiments using unbuffered solutions of pH ≈ 5.5.
Figure 5a collects the adsorption kinetics of DICL for the herein studied samples. As shown, the adsorption kinetics were relatively fast for carbon materials, mainly due to the open, interconnected three-dimensional pore structures replicated from the SBA-15 template. After 5 h, all the samples but P-CMK had uptakes close to equilibrium values (92%, 88%, and 95%, for D-CMK, T-CMK, and H-CMK, respectively). In the case of initial P-CMK carbon, only 77% of equilibrium value was adsorbed after that time. This behavior of P-CMK sample can be explained by its low wettability due to few oxygen groups on the surface. Although the total oxygen content was high (7.0% by XPS), most of those groups were located in the micropores but not in larger trafficking pores; thus, the migration of the DICL ions to the adsorption was slowed down. It is worth noting that the porous structure of the sample H-CMK was predominantly mesoporous; thus, the adsorption process was fast and was additionally facilitated by the abundance of surface oxygen groups introduced in the course of H2O2 oxidation. In the case of classical microporous activated carbon, Norit SX2 was used for comparative purposes, and the adsorption was significantly slower and the equilibrium was reached after 8 days (basic characterization of Norit SX2 and its adsorption performance is presented in Figures S10 and S11). This was due to the closed and tortuous microporous structure without a significant fraction of larger pores, which would act as transporting/diffusion channels for DICL delivering to adsorption centers located in micropores.
Adsorption isotherms, presenting the dependence of the adsorbed amount of DICL on its equilibrium concentration, are shown in Figure 5b. The highest sorption capacities (SCs) were observed in thermochemically modified samples, D-CMK and T-CMK (241 and 172 mg g−1, respectively), while for the initial P-CMK and H2O2-treated H-CMK samples those values were significantly lower (107 and 70 mg g−1, respectively). Another interesting observation is that D-CMK and T-CMK carbons can adsorb as much as 99% and 98% of DICL, respectively, from the solution with its lowest concentration tested (i.e., 25 mg L−1). This means that almost quantitative adsorption of DICL was provided by those materials, while for P-CMK and H-CMK, corresponding uptakes were much lower: 67% and 61%, respectively. The key role of positive influence on adsorptive capability upon surface chemistry modification can be derived by the comparison of the sorption capacities per SBET (Table 3). All modifications led to an increase of the surface uptake capability, although the positive impact compared to P-CMK was the lowest for H-CMK (+16%) and the highest for D-CMK (+ ~100%).
The sorption equilibrium data were model(the appropriate equations can be found in our previous works [46,47]), and the fitted results are presented in Figure 5b while the fitting parameters and determination coefficients, R2, in Table 3. The fitting clearly shows that for all the samples, except D-CMK, the Langmuir models assuming the formation of adsorbed monolayer provides fit better, and that is reflected in R2 values. Interestingly, only in the case of the D-CMK was the Freundlich model significantly better (what can be easily seen by comparing the fitted Freundlich and Langmuir curves).
Explanation of the above-mentioned phenomenon is strictly linked to the mechanisms governing the adsorption of DICL. Diclofenac has been reported to interact with carbonaceous surfaces via three types of interactions: (1) van der Waals electrostatic forces, (2) hydrogen-bonding formation, and (3) noncoval. In the case of the sample D-CMK nonspecific DICL anions was particularly strong because of the positively charged surface (supported by the positive value of ζ potential). In contrast, T-CMK surface charge was almost neutral; thus, electrostatic interactions were not the favorable driving force for DICL adsorption. Most probably, specific interactions between DICL anion and N- and S- surface groups were partially responsible for high DICL uptake, although it cannot be fully supported on the basis of the collected data.
In Table 2, the pH changes of DICL solution before and after the adsorption process are collected. In the case of both thermochemically modified carbons, the change of solution pH towards higher values can be explained by the participation of H3O+ cations from the solution into the formation of hydrogen bonds between DICL anions and carbon surface. Thus, the solution pH after DICL adsorption was at high level. P-CMK and H-CMK-3 carbons (increase of pH by 2.5 units).
The lowest uptakes of DICL onto P-CMK and H-CMK cd DICL anions, as well as to a preferable monolayered adsorption via the carboxylic groups that prevent a second adsorption layer, as above mentioned. In the case of the H-CMK, surface area (375 m2 g−1) and volume of micropores (0.097 cm3 g−1) were the lowest among the samples studied, and so this can be the reason behind the lowest DICL uptake (only 70 mg g−1) compared to the rest of the samples. Clearly, the type of functional groups present on the surface and porous structure were the two most important and intercorrelated parameters affecting the sorption efficiency. Well-developed micro- and mesoporous structure without proper functionalization cannot provide fast and high adsorption, which was clearly seen for the P-CMK sample: Lack of polar surface slowed down the adsorption kinetics due to low wettability, but also resulted in insufficiently strong interaction of DICL with the adsorption centers.
Knowing the value of the Langmuir equilibrium constant (related to the adsorption energy), KL, allows us to calculate so-called separation factor, RL, which is a dimensionless constant accounting for affinity between the sorbate and sorbent [34]. In general, RL = 1 corresponds to the linear adsorption isotherm, when RL << 1 the adsorption is highly favorable (in the extreme but theoretical case where RL = 0, adsorption is considered irreversible). RL values for different initial concentrations are presented in Figure 5c and for the highest initial concentration used (400 mg L−1) also in Table 3. In the case of D-CMK and T-CMK, the RL values are lower than the corresponding values of P-CMK and H-CMK for any initial concentration, indicating high adsorption process.
To describe in more detail the interactions between DICL and the studied materials, desorption tests were run. A 0.9 wt. % solution of NaCl was used as DICL desorption medium from the loaded samples. Its desorption efficiency was confirmed by us previously in the case of silica materials, where an increase of the ionic strength resulted in significant desorption of DICL [48,49]. The relative desorption efficiencies (RDE) are given in Table 3. It can be seen samples: Low RDE was observed for D-CMK (14.3%), moderate RDE for P-CMK and T-CMK (28.5 and 38.6, respectively), and almost total desorption for H-CMK (92.4%). The observed differences can be explained by distinct alterations of surface chemistry and porosity of the carbon studied. D-CMK had the highest surface charge, as indicated by its positive ζ potential. At the same time, it had highest volume of micropores, where the bulky DICL ions can be strongly and irreversibly adsorbed. The micropores of CMK-3 carbon are textural slit-like micropores (i.e., they do not result from the templating protocol but are formed on the course of carbonization, similarly to the micropores of activated carbon). Due to the slit-like shape of the pores, even big molecules can enter the pore spaces if only one of the molecular dimensions of the adsorbate is smaller than the pore size, regardless of its two remaining dimensions. The length of diclofenac was approximately 1.25 nm (taking into account van der Waals’ radii of the outermost protons). However, its height was less than 1 nm so there were no serious steric hindrances which could limit free diffusion of diclofenac into the micropore space [34].
Low RDE of only 14.3% is most probably associated with the desorption of DICL anions adsorbed in mesopores due to the increase of ionic strength suppressiDICL ions. However, it is plausible to assume that DICL anions adsorbed in narrow slit-like micropores were bondedπ-π stacking, which are difficult to brake due to limited water access to the filled micropores. In the case of the P-CMK and T-CMK, the attractive electrostatic interactions were weaker (particularly for P-CMK) and the volume of micropores was significantly lower than that of D-CMK. Both factors resulted in higher desorption efficiency. In the case of H-CMK, the surface was negatively charged and the volume of micropores able to provide the strong binding forces was low, so diclofenac could be desorbed almost quantitatively.
The collected results were compared with the current up-to-date papers reporting adsorption of diclofenac by different carbonaceous materials. As it can be seen, most of the studies indicate adsorption mechanism based on π-πpossible interactions are schematically shown on Figure 6.
The possible interactions of diclofenac (as well as the other pharmaceuticals with similar structure) with the surface are shown in Figure 6. It should be clearly underlined here that it is difficult or even impossible to attribute the enhanced sorption of diclofenac to the presence of specific functional groups on the surface. The chemistry of carbon surface is very rich in various chemical groups. All modification protocols (including those described in this work) do not qualitatively transform one type of groups into another, but rather change the relative contributions of those groups to the total surface chemistry. Changes of surface chemistry result in the changes of surface charge, π-basicity (functional groups localize π electrons), which results in different adsorption properties. As a result, the changes of surface chemistry affect even more nonspecific interactions (π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions) than the specific interactions of diclofenac with particular functional groups (hydrogen bonding). Moreover, the adsorption performance was also linked with the changes of porous structure, making the discussion even more complex. For example, due to the significant fraction of microporosity, some surface groups may be accessible for H3O+ ions but not to diclofenac. All these factor make it difficult to propose one strict adsorption mechanism of diclofenac onto carbon-based materials. On the contrary, such a straightforward mechanism can be found in the case of silica-based materials with a similar mesoporous structure but a well-defined surface chemistry [34,45,50,51].
Different modification routes used in this study resulted in mesoporous CMK-3 carbons with various surface chemical heterogeneity and structural features. T resulted in the ordered mesoporous carbons with high basicityheteroatom-based functional groups but also increased sp2-hybridized carbon content. The XPS elemental analysis revealed a remarkable decrease of the total oxygen content for thermochemically treated carbons with simultaneous increase of the total carbon content (94.8% for D-CMK and 92.4% for T-CMK). In contrast, classical wet oxidation resulted in the elevated oxygen content with a predominant fraction of acidic surface groups (mainly phenols and carboxyls). The porous structure was either intact (T-CMK) or altered (D-CMK) during modification. In contrast, classical wet H2O2 oxidation led to a material with deteriorated porosity and ordering.
The adsorption of diclofenac sodium onto modified mesoporous carbons was strongly dependent on both surface chemistry and porous structure. The dicyandiamide-modified sample (D-CMK) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (241 mg g−1) and the lowest desorption extent (14.3%), while the H2O2-oxidated H-CMK sample had the lowest adsorption capacity (70 mg g−1) and the highest desorption (92.4%). The collected results show that the adsorption of pharmaceuticals on carbon-based materials depends on a complex interrelationship between the factors related to surface chemistry and porous structure as well as the wettability of the carbon 3/7/1625/s1.

arts/culture Festival of Ha’mara celebrations held as Bajorans mark twentieth anniversary of the Emissary’s sacrifice
February 23, 2019 in FNS Headlines
Twenty-years since the joining of the Emissary with the Celestial Temple have passed, and this year’s annual festival of Ha’mara was a special celebration. It has been twenty-six years since the festival began on Bajor, traditionally celebrated as the arrival of then Commander Sisko as the Emissary of the Prophets.
However, what was once a celebration of the arrival is now also a remembrance. As seen in previous years, the festival started with a period of fasting from sunrise to sunset. Once the sun goes down, the party atmosphere began, with a fabulous firework display rated as one of the best in the quadrant.
“It is a time of great contemplation on the suffering of others,” said Yirduk Pim, member of the Council of Ministers on Bajor. “We fast to understand the anguish and challenges of our predecessors, of the universe, and to reflect on the teachings of the Prophets.”
After the pyrotechnics, there were many local delicacies on offer such as Hasperat and Larish pie, similar to the human dessert of cheesecake. Also included in fare were Creole foods honouring Sisko’s heritage.
It is a tradition for the elder Bajorans to tell tales of Sisko and when they met. Sadly, the number of people to regale the tales dwindles with each passing celebration as generations join the Celestial Temple.
The Bajorans believe the Emissary will, when needed, come again to aid the plight of the people. Until then, they continue to celebrate the life of this human, this Starfleet officer, this Prophet, as the Bajorans believe he joined the Celestial Temple, becoming one with the Prophets, and will return when the need is great enough.
The FNS wishes to extend their wishes to the Bajorans and those who celebrated with the traditional greeting of “Happy Ha’mara.”

Amidst the action is BBC reporter Kate Adie (Abbie Cornish), the British journalist whose arresting live coverage of the event broke new ground for television news reporting. In balancing these contrasting perspectives evenly, Fraser etches out a refreshingly ambivalent position for the audience to observe from.
Especially in a year when the methods of our own special forces have been put under scrutiny, Fraser’s film comes as a timely examination of the moral fallout that comes with using force. — JF </s> So Christy Clark decided to loosen the public purse strings and open the cheque book just over a half year before the election; pure coincidence?

However, on the date of the incident, Waclawsi transferredany assistance. Waclawski then transferred the woman out of the bed into her wheelchair without the help of any staff member. When the 100-year-old resident got back into her wheelchair, she then fell to the floor and hit her head, resulting in a painful laceration.
After the incident occurred, Waclawski failed to follow required procedures to alert the on-duty supervisor of the fall in order to perform a medical assessment on the patient. According to the criminal complaint, Waclawski only sought the help of another nursing aide to put the patient back into the bed. However, when she returned to the resident’s room 15 to 20 minutes later, Waclawski saw blood on the patient’s pillow. One hour after the incident, a nurse observed Waclawski wiping the patient’s head. The nurse reported that several of the used wipes had blood on them. </s> In 2009, James Ramsey and Dan Barasch started planning a solar-powered subterranean park on the Lower East Side, the underground equivalent of the High Line. They set their sites on the 60,000-square-foot abandoned Essex Street Trolley Terminal below Delancey Street and named their project The Lowline. Now, six years later, they’ve launched the Lowline Lab, “a high-tech, miniaturized precursor to the city’s first underground park,” as 6sqft put it in a recent interview with Ramsey and Barasch. Located in a vacant warehouse on Essex Street, the Lab most certainly served its purpose, as The Lo-Down is reporting that the city and MTA have finally agreed to accept proposals for the space.

The Angel painting is a multimedia work that began with a simple line drawing. That line drawing was collaged and laid down onto plywood then covered in a epoxy resin. Oil paint was then applied on top of that to bring the shape, color, angel wings and it develop it to its full maturity. This piece was an exploration in materials with the image development taking place throughout the process. Sometimes the process follows the image, and sometimes it’s the process that drives.

The promise of the "computer" to become an educator is beginning to reap the promise it has held out since its earliest days. But how that is happening might surprise you. I remember years ago when the computer came on the scene and the teacher was expected to exit. Well, that has not happened and will not in the near future. But what has happened, as Daphne Koller tells us, is the ability of one teacher to teach 100,000 learners in one class. Watch the video from Ted.com below. It is a window into the future of educational change. Koller shares with us the amazing growth of www.Coursera.com, an online site for courses from major universities...and they are free!

en | N/A | N/A | f you have seen the TLC show Extreme Couponing you know that couponing has become the latest craze to take television. Rightly so. Who doesn't love a good deal, and we all like to get things for free. As a mother of four, one of them being a teen, things like food don't come cheap. Our grocery bill runs us closer to $350 every two weeks. That does not include the "extras" we pick up in between. It is becoming costly to feed this brood. What I don't intend to do though is build a whole room dedicated to a storage place for my couponing booty. Nor do I intend to jump into garbage bins for paper with deals. Not even buy things with coupons that I simply do not need nor consume. That part of Extreme Couponing is the part that I could never understand and I felt was simply ridiculous.
Well, if you have some hints that I need to make my Canadian couponing venture a more fruitful one, please share. I could use all the help I can get. I do have some sites set up that are sending to me. I find I catch them late though and miss the deals even with checking every day. |
en | N/A | N/A | I want to try selling some of my art, so like many people, I have an Etsy shop. I have had said Etsy shop for MONTHS now and even though I have been to my shop several times in the past few months, I have never listed a single item. I don't know if it's out of fear or doubt or sheer laziness, but I have never been able to finish a single listing and put my art out there for the world to purchase. I share my art on Facebook, my blog, on my weekly webshow and in my classes, but I have never placed my art up for sale and I REALLY want to take that step. At long last, the time has come for me to send my little art babies out into the world so they can spread their wings and fly. It really is like being a mother and sending your kids out into the world for the first time!
Soooooo….. because you are my peeps…….. and you know me………and I love you…….. and trust you……I have decided to offer my art to you first. (Holyshit,holyshit,holyshit….. I'm really putting it out there. For the world. And these pieces mean so much to me!
Plus, on the practical side, I need a schedule and some accountability to get this stuff actually listed at some point this year!
Here is what I have decided to do – Each week I will list three items in my Etsy shop, (I know that doesn't sound like alot, but have you ever tried to list anything on Etsy?It is a looooong process!) but before I list the items on Etsy, I will offer the pieces to all of you…AT A DISCOUNT!
I will run those three items here on my blog, on Facebook and on Twitter for one week at a (SERIOUSLY) discounted price. If they have not sold by the following week, I will then add them to my Etsy shop at full price. This will help me to FINALLY fill my shop, PLUS it gives me a chance to test the waters with people who already support me. It's a win-win!
So, without further adieu, here are the first three items UP FOR GRABS!

Women rule the home and the world, it's just that men have tried to convince us and themselves otherwise.
We feather their nests, we bear their progeny, we keep them fed and warm, we clean their bathrooms and do their laundry.
Women are the civilizers of humanity. Without our strong guidance and sweet-beating hearts there would be only cruelty and chaos and football without decent snacks. We are the saviors of human grace.but understand more".
Ow Honey, No Teeth!
Okay, great job on the progeny line and yes, I'm nice and warm, but...ahem...let's get a few things nice and straight: I do ALL the cooking, the maid I pay for does all the cleaning and grocery shopping, and I'm the one who has to drag your cute butt to Ikea or wherever to get nest-feathering materials; you'd be content to walk on the same, stinky, 14 year old rug until it falls apart and the maid has to sweep it into the dustpan.
And excuse me, but for about 5 days a month, your heart sure as hell AIN'T anything resembling "sweet-beating.
PS: I mean "you" in the collective sense.

Wise kniga, women are reasons for wars...
Life is a constant battle and it's necessary to be strong.
Women need men to feel weak from time to time...
The last time a woman caused a war was at Troy and that turned out to be a bummer for all involved. The rest of the time men dream up these stupidities. |

I’m not sure how much further I can push the Canon Powershot SX110. But it’s fun finding out. </s> about book:
This is the story of the Skinner family. Their father passes away and as a result, their mother stops caring for them completely - she can't cope and goes into "the pause" from her life and family. So, these under-12s dig their heels and raise themselves. They learn to help one another, rely on one another, and love each other. Their bond is made. Eventually, the mom comes out of "the pause" and the family moves forward - together as a unit. And then, another family crises erupts and as adults we see them deal, handle, and endure it all. We see how this family copes and struggles. We see them fight, yell, love, and embrace one another. It is raw and real - family at its best and worst. And, I loved it allRomantics

Landlord Duty to Repair and Maintain the Rental Property
Maintaining property does not mean that a landlord can invade a tenant’s privacy and continually inspect the premises and snoop around. Tenabeing harassed by Florida law allows a landlord to inspect the premises and make repairs butreasonable time. See Florida Statute 83.53 (2).
Accidents Caused by A Dangerous Condition on the Rental Property
There is a gap of information between the landlord’s duty to maintain the premises and the tenant’s right to privacy. That gap can create a situation where the landlord becomes unaware of a dangerous condition.
How does a tenant win a personal injury case when a gap of information like this exists? A tenant must prove that the landlord had “.
Actual Knowledge versus Constructive Knowledge
The Florida courts have defined constructive knowledge as a condition that “…occurred with regularity and consequently, was foreseeable.” Firth v. Marhoefer, 406 So. 2d 521 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981).
This is because Florida landlords must protect people who rent their homes from them by taking “reasonable precautions to maintain” those homes in a “safe and clean condition.” Additionally, if the accident is caused by a dangerous condition that existed long enough for the landlord to have discovered and fixed it, then the landlord will be presumed to have known about it.

This 500-year old map that depicts the destruction of the Temple as witnessed by Christians is a rare find.
https://blog.nli.org.il/en/9th_av/
The map illustrated the destruction of Jerusalem and depicts the Temple going up in flames. However, this is not an illustration of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period and a description of the Jews who lived there. It is rather the printing of an engraving depicting Jerusalem’s Christian sites alongside the Temple, typical to the 14th-15th centuries.

en | N/A | N/A | City officials arealong the ceilings of the restrooms at Keehi Lagoon Beach Park and other Oahu recreational areas after what appears to have been the latest vandalism incident sometime about midnight Wednesday.
One of three comfort stations at Keehi Lagoon, heavily used by canoe paddlers and other park visitors, was destroyed by fire. Fire city spokesman Andrew Pereira said. One of the toilets appeared to have been smashed and ripped out of the ground, but investigators said the damage to the porcelain could have been caused by the heat of the fire mixing with the cold of water from fire hoses and possibly contact with the fire hoses themselves, he said.
Regardless, Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell took to Twitter to voice his anger at the incident. “I’m outraged and the public should be outraged too,” he said.
Jesse Broder Van Dyke, another city spokesman, said Caldwell instructed city officials to research locating security cameras at comfort stations at Keehi Lagoon and other parks following the incident.
Police reported a drop in vandalism to a restroom at Hans L’Orange Park in Waipahu after two security cameras were installed in February 2014, Broder Van Dyke said.
Vandalism was identified as the cause for the destruction of portable toilets that were torched in January and March at Kaiaka Beach Park in Haleiwa. The portables are supposed to be temporary until the city can reconstruct a permanent facility in the coming years.
In January vandals smashed and destroyed a toilet at the busiest comfort station at Ala Moana Beach Park just days after it was refurbished. |

Bloomberg showed the domestic currency was last changing hands at 80.52 per dollar after opening at 80.54, compared to Friday’s close of 80.81.
“The rupee seems to be on a roll as inflows increase, as it had its best week in the last four years. The range for the day is expected to be 80.20 to 81.00“Asian currencies have also gained quite a bit allowing the rupee to be on the upside. However, higher oil and a high trade deficit should restrict the gains to around 80 levels unless we see a fall in the dollar index towards 100,” he added.
The week started positively for Asian currenciesThe momentum is clearly in favour of the rupee, but “it makes little sense” in term of risk reward to chase the USD/INR pair lower from these levels, a trader at a Mumbai-based bank told Reuters.
The rupee has already corrected more than 3 per cent from record lows and “then you have to consider oil prices”, the trader said.

The dollar index fell 3.6 per cent over two sessions last week, its worst two-day percentage fall since March 2009, as a result of somewhat cooler-than-expected inflation data on Thursday.

Look at the ratings and take note of the following. They should include some sort of numerical rating.
One rating should include an overall customer’s impression of the style of the business, amenities offered, and service provided. Look at the overall feedback of the customer and see if the problems they are experiencing are consistent across all the properties.
Another rating should include a review policy and how frequently they are reviewed. Be sure to compare the number of complaints with the number of great reviews you find.
Look for properties that have a reputation for giving their customers a fair review and are open to outside suggestions. This will give you a good idea of how a property will treat their guests.

Through his photographs, Raphaël Dallaporta (born in 1980) tackles a large array of human concerns, going beyond the purely documentary dimension. He seeks to question the empathy generated by societal issues, and plays with the varied aspects of the photographic image. He worked in close collaboration with bomb disposal experts (Antipersonnel), jurists (Esclavage domestique), forensic scientists (Fragile) and archaeologists (Ruins). All of his projects have been collected in a monograph, Antipersonnel included, published by Les Éditions Xavier Barral in 2010.
His work is included in the collections of the Élysée Museum in Lausanne, the Fond National d’Art Contemporain (FNAC) in Paris,he Nicéphore Niépce Museum in Chalon-sur-Saône or the New York Public Library. Among his solo exhibitions we can cite Raphaël Dallaporta, Observations, travelling since 2011, and Antipersonnel, a Martin Parr pick at the Rencontres d’Arles in 2004.
In 2014, Raphaël Dallaporta was a pensionnaire at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici. He was also the winner of the ICP Infinity Award 2010 in New York and the Paul Huf Award 2011 of the Foam Museum in Amsterdam. He lives and works in Paris.

The final scene of the novel takes place late at night on Christmas Eve, when Rosamund has to go to an all-night chemist's near her flat to get some medicine for Octavia. There, she has a chance meeting with George, and again invites him up to her flat. Rosamund lies about the age of Octavia, so that George will not suspect that she might be his. Reluctantly, George is persuaded to have a look at the sleeping Octavia, pronounces her a beautiful baby, and leaves again.
This novel was adapted into the film A Touch of Love (American title: Thank You All Very Much) in 1969. The film varies little from the novel in plot.

Future Liberal Prime Minister Tony Abbott admitted in 2005 that he voted Labor at this election saying that Unsworth "was the best deal premier that New South Wales had ever had" and knew that it would not damage Greiner's prospects at this election.
The result was a landslide for the Coalition parties. Election analyst Antony Green later noted that "the 1988 result was startling, the worst Labor performance, and best Coalition result, since the Lang era of the 1930s". Labor lost heartland seats including Balmain, Newcastle and Swanseaeven non-aligned Independents were elected to the Legislative Assembly.

thought to be a widely underdiagnosed cause of pneumonia. Acute infections with this organism commonly result in a self-limiting, febrile illness with pulmonary involvement, reflecting the typical acquisition of the infection by the aerosol route. Complications associated with such infections include development of a chronic phase in certain susceptible individuals which presents as endocarditis and has a high fatality rate in the absence of appropriate treatment. Interest in this organism has recently been piqued by its inclusion on the list of potential bioterror agents. NotwithstandingC. burnetii infections, this organism is highly infectious and has the capacity to cause significant morbidity (16, 23).
Two phase variants C. burnetii have been found; phase I is highly virulent and is the naturally occurring variant, and phase II occurs following repeated passage through cell cultures. The two phases differ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structure. Phase I C. burnetii encodes a complete LPS with an O side chain, while phase II C. burnetii expresses a truncated LPS lacking the O side chain and some additional sugar residues (10). Andoh et al. (2) examined the comparative virulence of the two variants in SCID and immunocompetent mice using the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route of inoculation and demonstrated that some replication of C. burnetii Nine M |

en | N/A | N/A | The literature on economic feasibility of farming seaweeds like Kappaphycus alvarezii in tropical locations is mainly based upon Asian case studies, and often does not take into account social factors in seaweed farming success. Pacific island countries are culturally and economically distinct from Asia, and efforts are now being made to establish seaweed industries here. Past experiences have showed that social factors often outweigh technical factors in determining the success of rural development projects. In addition, Pacific island communities are very diverse in their socio-economic make-up. The particular community chosen for location of a development project is therefore critical to success. Project managers need to recognize in advance the best type of community for seaweed farmingo economic factors that can be used as predictors of project success or failure. Using results of social survey techniques carried out in eight communities within the Fiji Group, a rapid survey technique has been developed which can enable decisions about whether a community is suitable for farming seaweed or not. Though developed from Fiji case studies, the technique can be applied in other rural Asia/Pacific situations. |

Although her focus is looking after her little cubs, she’s a poster child for the genetics of spirit bears. She’s white, her cubs are black. All of them carry the spirit bear genes and could have spirit bear children. The white bears are protected from hunting. The black ones are not. And yet if the goal is to protect spirit bears, the black ones should be protected too.
Here are a few amazing photos taken by Phil Stone on one of Maple Leaf’s Great Bear Rainforest trips to this mum’s territory last fall.
Fishing (mum) and sort-of fishing (cub).
One theory about why spirit bears occur in such a concentration in the Great Bear Rainforest / Nass Valley area of British Columbia, on Canada’s west coast, is that they have a fishing advantage over a black-furred bear during the day. Why? Because to a salmon looking up from a riverbed, a white bear looks more like the sky. That’s thanks to Dr. Tom Reimchen, at the University of Victoria and his research in the area.

Auto Insurance – Agency in Franklinton, LA
Ask anyone that’s been involved in a car accident while carrying a bare-bones auto policy – in those first critical and confusing moments after a crash, they typically aren’t reassured by the fact that they were paying a low premium for the minimal coverage required by law.
Instead, uncertainty about whether they have enough coverage is compounding their anxiety abouty or the other driver. They may be trying to remember what their deductible is, or wondering how they’ll drive their kids to school the next day or get themselves to work.
In addition to cost, you must consider risk and how much coverage you really need in the event of an accident. The needs of a single 20-year old using their vehicle occasionally to drive 5 miles to work will be different than that of a family with three kids that’s commuting 50 miles round-trip each day.
I Drive Safely Every day. What’s the Real Risk?
You’re a good driver, right? You can maintain control of your vehicle even while talking on the phone, inputting coordinates on your GPS or speeding (just a little bit) on occasion. And you may have texted at a stop light once or twice when no one else was around.
But your sense of safety and confidence on the road can be shattered in a split second. One minute you’re adjusting the radio station and the next you’ve been involved in an accident or a close call. It happens to people just like you every day. Here are a few facts to consider:
- Fi indicate despitehas decreased.
- From that same study: The average claimant economic loss (including expenses for medical care, wage loss, and other out-of-pocket expenses) in 2012 was $14,207.
- according to.
Bottom line: it’s expensive to be in a car accident and time. The best thing you can do to be prepared, besides being an attentive driver, is carry adequate auto insurance coverage.
Adequate Auto Insurance for You and Your Family
Auto insurance is complex. There are several aspects to consider when comparing prices and coveraghelp you through the process.
Louisiana: $15,000 per person; $30,000 per accident
Mississippi: $25,000 per person; $50,000 per accident
Louisiana: $25,000 limit
Mississippi: $25,000 limit
Underinsured/uninsured motorists Coverage – One of the more confusing and backward-sounding coverages, under/un-insured motorist coverage is coverage you carry to cover another driver in the event they don’t have insurance and cause an accident. This coverage is not required, but may be a good idea, especially if you live and drive in a region where a lot of motorists are likely under or un-insured.
Medical Payments Coverage – Specifically helps cover the costs of medical treatment needed as a result of a crash for you or any of your passengers. (Not required.)
Comprehensive Coverage – Covers repairs resulting from damage caused by theft or severe weather. (Required when leasing a vehicle.)
Rental Reimbursement Coverage – Covers a rental car.
Towing & Labor Coverage – Covers towing and some repair costs.
Common factors used to determine your car insurance rates are:
- Age and gender: Younger, male drivers typically pay the most
- Residential area: Individuals in larger cities typically pay more than people in more rural areas
- Car’s make and model: Less expensive cars are typically cheaper to insure
- Individual’s driving record: Tickets or accidents may raise your rate
- Deductible: A higher deductible will reduce your premiums

en | N/A | N/A | choose these grasses because they can tolerate poor soil conditions.
Although it is considered to have a moderate tolerance for wear, this grass type should not be used where there is a constant rate of traffic. It can eventually recover from high traffic wear and tear, but it is slow to do so.Its impressive salt tolerance is why it does so well in maritime regions. It can also survive in shaded areas and areas that are higher in elevation, which is very rare.
It has a tendency to become thatch, which is problematic as well as unattractive.The toughness of the leaves can also make it more challenging to mow compared to other grass types.
Here’s more in-depth information on the five main varieties of Fine Fescue:
Sheep Fescue also known as Festuca Ovina
The Sheep Fescue is also often referred to as “Blue Sheep Fescue.” It is an ideal option for lawns that will probably be “low maintenance.” This includes areas with low to no mowing patterns. This grass can also blend well with wildflowers and yet not crowd them out. Among the Sheep Fescues, you have choices like Quatro, which has a flat or powder blue hue, and Azay Blue, which is a blue-green color.
As the name would imply, this type of fescue has rhizomes making it a creeping grass. It has been used in seed mixtures meant for shaded yards for many years. There is the “Common type” and the “Strong Creeping Red Fescue.” The first one is more economical but lower quality. The latter one is a better quality and is sometimes even imported from Europe.
Chewings Fescue also known as Festuca Rubra subp. Commutata
Hard Fescue also known as Festuca Longifolia or Duriuscula
The Hard Fescue is becoming more popular because it has a better ability to tolerate heat than the other Fine Fescues. This type is a bunch grass, so it will require seeding and establishment.
- Performs well in cooler climates, including maritime locations; in fact, it is considered very cold tolerant.
- It has a moderate to very good tolerance for salt, which is difficult to find.
- Fescues prefer low nitrogen fertility.
- Its tolerance for shade is very good.
- It has a tolerance for poor soil conditions, such as sandy, rocky, or clay.
- It is an overall low maintenance grass.
- It can develop thatches.
- The wear tolerance is considered moderate at best.
- The toughness of its leaves can make it more difficult for cutting.
- For some people, the inability to tolerate heat may be a disadvantage. If that is the case for you, one option is to consider Hard Fescue since it has a higher tolerance for heat than the other four varieties.
Establishment and seeding should be done in late summer to early fall, which makes September ideal, at least for lower elevations. For higher elevations, it is actually better to consider spring or summer planting.
Another option is dormant seeding. This can be done in late fall, and the cooler temperatures will prevent germination. In warm soil conditions, expect germination in a week to 10 days.
- There are sandy soils.
- Traffic is heavier.
- A higher quality of overall lawn is desired.
If you do this in the summer, you run the risk of increasing the lawn’s inability to withstand heat. Unmowed or naturalized grass of this type does not need very frequent fertilization, especially when grown alongside wildflowers.
Fine Fescues prefer soil that is drier. Watering or irrigating too regularly will cause root zone moisture. This can then lead to thinning and decline and it can also increase the risk of potential diseases.
The state or climate in which you live will determine how often your Fine Fescue lawn will require watering or irrigation. Without proper irrigation, this grass will go dormant. While Fine Fescues recover from dormancy, they do not bounce back as well as a grass like Kentucky Bluegrass for example.
Dollar spot is another disease that Fine Fescues can be susceptible to. For dollar spot, nitrogen fertilization can help eliminate the problem.
Most herbicides work well with Fine Fescues. Look for any that are intended for Kentucky Bluegrass or other cool season grasses.

en | N/A | N/A | BOSTON (CBS) — The Revolution left Philadelphia with one point Wednesday night after a 1-1 draw with the Union. They would have left with three if it weren’t for a controversial no-call late in the match.
Teal Bunbury gave New England a 1-0 lead in the 85th minute on his first goal of the season, but that lead did not last long. Just three minutes later, Union striker Kacper Przybylko headed home the equalizer, but that tally came with an air of controversy.READ The game-tying sequence was reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee, but the goal stood, much to the dismay of the Revolution. Head coach and sporting director Bruce Arena was surprisingly complimentary of referee Tori Penso and her crew after the match, but was slightly incredulous at the no-call.READ MORE: WATCH:
“I thought this officiating crew was outstanding tonight, which I do not ever remember saying in an MLS game,” he said. “The play at the end, I would say nine out of 10 times that kind of contact on a goalkeeper is called a foul,” he said. “The VAR hasn’t been real good for us this year, so I don’t know what to say.”
That’s a master of words at work right there. Make no mistake, Arena was not happy that the no-call cost his club two points.
“I thought we played well tonight. We should’ve walked off the field with three points,” he said. “That’s my conclusion of the game.”MORE NEWS: Carlos Correa On Alex Cora's Emotions With Daughter: 'I Know What They've Been Through'
