Laser Particle Size Analyzer Application In Flame Retardant

Writer:Jinan WinnerSource:Jinan Winner Date:2015-09-03
Development trend of flame retardant
Nowadays, with the increasing application of polymer materials, The flame retardant properties of the material are also put forward higher and higher requirements.. Due to the halogen containing flame retardants on the social environment and our life brings a lot of negative effects, in all walks of life, the amount of flame retardant has been mainly turned to halogen free system. Low smoke, low toxicity, non polluting halogen free high efficiency flame retardant has become an inevitable trend towards the development of environmental protection flame retardant. The application of new technology of halogen-free and environmentally friendly flame retardant and flame retardant technology has become more sophisticated, such as nano type flame retardant, intumescent flame retardant, flame retardant aluminum hydroxide and superfine magnesium hydroxide flame retardant.
ATH Flame retardant
Aluminum hydroxide (ATH) is a kind of environmental security and safety of using nontoxic and harmless inorganic flame retardant, flame retardant and its consumption in all ranked first. As the inorganic flame retardant, flame retardant aluminium hydroxide used in domestic industry due to the lack of fine chemical species, resulting in poor product quality, low tech, only suitable for building traffic high technical requirements, application in electronic industry, aerospace and other high-tech fields high requirements for flame retardant performance in less.
At present, the quality of domestic aluminum hydroxide flame retardant manufacturers uneven, the difference lies in the influence on mechanical properties of the materials, the reason and effect of physical mechanical properties of materials is the most fundamental of aluminum hydroxide particle size and particle size distribution, grain size is fine, the material tensile strength and tear strength better, the size of the particle size of aluminum hydroxide the direct effect of flame retardant properties of flame retardant.
With the decrease of the particle size of aluminum hydroxide, the oxygen index increased rapidly, when the average particle size of aluminum hydroxide is 5 m, the oxygen index is 28%, if the average particle size of less than 1 m, the oxygen index reached 33%, the oxygen index is above 26 when the flame retardant materials, in order to use the performance and processing performance, improve the polymer. And the final product, should also pay attention to the gradation and control particle shape, the filling amount under the maximum size as small as possible.
Flame retardant magnesium hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) compared with higher thermal stability (decomposition temperature is about 340 DEG to 100 DEG C higher than ATH), can be used for many engineering plastics; heat absorption ATH higher than about 17%; the smoke suppression is better than that of ATH; the hardness is lower than ATH; to prolong the service life of flame retardant polymers. But because the ordinary magnesium hydroxide particles, between particles aggregated and strong, so that it has poor compatibility with polymer materials, flame retardant plastics cannot be used directly.
In recent years, with the deepening of the research of nano materials, in order to prepare a good flame retardant magnesium hydroxide, better flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide flame retardant particles must be superfine and surface treatment. The characteristics of the size and the distribution parameters and grain magnesium hydroxide fine particles are closely related, but also the production of flame retardant magnesium hydroxide was prepared and applied in a very important index. The analysis of particle size by laser particle size analyzer is fast, accurate, convenient, reliable and reproducible, so it can be widely used.

Is it genetics or is it upbringing, aggression.

Can we fight aggression?

The number of crimes (including economic, political and criminal acts) grows 10 percent a year. It means that in about 10 years the world would turn into a criminal group.

The fear of being hurt by another human being grows among people every day.

It is a well-known fact that 70 percent of identical twins, even if they were separated at childhood, often share each other’s fate, even if it’s criminal.

Investigators often come across situations that seem unbelievable.

While interrogating a murderer whose brother has been imprisoned for five years, they hear a crime story identical to the one of his relative.

Is it genetics or is it upbringing?

Or perhaps it’s the most dangerous kind, as Dr. Cesare Lombroso, a pioneer of criminal phrenology, believes (phrenology is a theory stating that criminal traits of a person can be derived from the shape of the skull).

“Humans are the only species that constantly commits mass murders”, says Victor Yagodinsky, M.D. Some calculations show that at least 14 billion people died in 14,000 wars.

Limitless cruelty widely demonstrated by mankind has no analogies in the world of higher animals. Yet, at the same time, it’s surprisingly comparable with behaviors typical for creatures incapable of rational thinking – insects, fish, and even primitive organisms like bacteria and viruses.

Homo sapiens act no more rational than spiders placed in a jar.”

Professor Boris Porshnev suggested an interesting concept of Homo sapien development. He believes that mankind in aggressionits development went through a scary stage of adelphophagy, which literally means “eating one’s brother.”

This means that the history of mankind started from cannibalism, predatism, unnaturally aimed at the representatives of the same species. Heterogeneity of species appeared only with the development of civilization.

“We suggest that today’s mankind consists of completely different species, two predatory and two nonpredatory,” the scientist explained.

The first kind are “superanimals,” descendants of “adelphophags,” and “suggestors” (pseudo-humans), aggressive and sneaky chameleons. “Suggestors” became imitators and accomplices of superanimals.

Predatory species chose the path of least resistance already tried by nature – cruelty and ploy.

They show various behavioral patterns, from moral humiliation to sophisticated methods of torture and murder. Leaders, politicians, swindlers, revolutionaries, criminals and maniacs often pertain to this type.

So far only 10 percent of the world population belongs to this type of predatory humans. The majority of population belongs to two nonpredatory types that are characterized by rejection of violence.

“Diffusive” type includes people who are easy to influence. “ Neoanthropes” are those who don’t easily fall under the influence of others, have high virtues and self-critical thinking.

Representatives of this type have one significant drawback. They can easily adopt slogans and ideas of “predatory humans,” follow them and become an uncontrollable crowd ready to crush and break everything around. Cruelty is contagious, and there are facts to prove it.

According to statistics, in the early 1990s two murders an hour were committed. Today, someone is murdered every 16 minutes.

Of course, we can feel sorry for two-legged “predators” who were unlucky to be born with unhealthy genes. We can feel sorry for them when we see them on TV or read about them in a newspaper.

But when we come across them face to face in a dark alley or happen to be held hostage by them at a Nord-Ost performance, genetic engineering for eliminating these people seems to be an insufficient measure.

All you want to do is grab a machine gun. But when this idea enters your head you involuntarily start thinking – who am I? Am I a “diffusive” type who can be easily angered or a “superanimal” with a monstrous mindset?

Vladimir Sitnikov, Associate Professor of Russian State Medical University:

“People with genetic peculiarities demonstrate psychological complex of “supermen” and “superwomen.” For some unknown reason, these people have a double chromosome.

For example, men typically have XY chromosome, and the majority of serial killers have XYY chromosome. Women with criminal inclinations have XXX chromosome.

Their blood also contains more hormones that enhance aggressive behavior – testosterone, adrenalin, estrogen, and progesterone. Therefore, people with “antisocial” diseases can be modified through genetic engineering. Theoretic programs already exist.

These programs suggest that special tests can be used to identify people who are incapable of murder under any circumstances. Scientists could decode their genetic programs, clone a normal gene and inject it into the cells of an ill body where it will replace a mutated gene.

This theory was confirmed in Cleveland, USA, where scientists injected fight dogs with toy dogs’ genes.

Word WikiLeaks to Worlds

Online whistle blower WikiLeaks unveiled another portion of compromising materials. While earlier the website published documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this time they made public secret correspondence of American diplomats. Most materials relate to the period of 2004 – 2010.

Online whistle blower WikiLeaks unveiled a new batch of compromising materials. This time correspondence of American diplomats was leaked, which clearly shows that the U.S. did not stop its subversive activities against other countries. The published papers can also adversely affect the relationship between certain countries. The main question is who benefits from it.

Word WikiLeaks to WorldsMost of them are recordings of conversations of American diplomats with foreign politicians, officials and individuals in different countries, as well as reports about the events in different countries and analysis of the situation.

According to Der Spiegel, these documents are interesting precisely because diplomats and politicians did not expect them to be published and openly expressed their opinions. The psychological characteristics of foreign leaders devised by American diplomats are particularly of interest.

For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is compared to Hitler in U.S. diplomatic files, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel is called “risk averse and rarely creative.” French President Nicolas Sarkozy was nicknamed “the emperor with no clothes.”

Diplomats talked of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi as “physically and politically weak” and “feckless.” He is particularly disliked by the American diplomats for his friendship with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

In turn, the latter is called by American diplomats the “alpha male,” “Batman” and “brutal politician.” Dmitry Medvedev, in contrast, is called “pale and hesitant” ”who plays Robin to his strongman Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s ”Batman.”

However, the greatest harm to the United States could be caused by making public methods of work of the American diplomats.
Judging by the documents available in open access on WikiLeaks, Washington spied on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, as well as the representatives of this international organization in Russia, China and other countries. Allegedly, the secretary of state Hillary Clinton gave an executive order to do so in July 2009.

The degree of the U.S. influence on the foreign policies of other countries is obvious because before the controversial speech by Iranian President Ahmadinejad at the UN General Assembly, the State Department sent a directive to the members of the European countries to leave the hall, which was done nearly by everyone.

Word WikiLeaks to Worlds

A great part of the compromising materials refers to the U.S. actions in the former Soviet Union. For example, following the instructions from Washington, Tajik President Rakhmonov dismissed the head of narcotics control Mirzoyev, who allegedly posed a threat to the President.

American diplomats in Ukraine do not look well either. According to the available documents, they were poking their noses into all internal affairs of this country. This emphasizes the fact that Americans do not intend to abandon attempts to influence certain countries around the world.

Take, for example, the U.S. Ambassador to Georgia John Tefft, who, speaking of the beginning of the August war confuses Ossetian villages subjected to shelling with the Georgian ones.
On the other hand, based on the analysis of other documents, it becomes clear that the “confusion” was deliberate.

For example, back on August 7, he reported to Washington that the Georgian troops moved to the borders of South Ossetia, and after the failure of the Georgian adventure, he wrote to the State Department about the need to insist on “absolute innocence of Georgia.” In fact, the same information is contained in the reports of the U.S. ambassadors in other countries.

The qualifications of a number of American diplomats raise serious questions. For example, the U.S. ambassador to Russia puts too much trust into one group of sources and is not inclined to analyze the information in conjunction with other documents. In particular, we are talking about the reasoning of the deputies from the Communist Party about the future of the “ruling tandem.”

Some of the documents look more like jokes. Among the published materials WikiLeaks has a message from a “source” according to which the head of Russia presidential administration Vladislav Surkov is a fan of rap music who is asking someone to bring him rap albums from New York.

Yet, there are documents that deserve serious attention. For example, the reports from U.S. embassies on their participation in promotions of the Russian opposition and gathering information about the stability of the ruling regime.

Judging by the reaction of Washington, this leak is extremely unpleasant. Indeed, thanks to the scandalous publications the entire world had the opportunity to assess the methods of the American diplomacy and the extent of its influence on the planet.

The official White House described the actions of the portal as “irresponsible and dangerous” because they damage the national interests of America. “These revelations could harm the United States and our interests,” said State Department spokesman F. J. Crowley. “They will create friction between our diplomats and our friends around the world.”

According to a White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, the leak threatens the activities of the American diplomats and cooperating foreign counterparts. This way, they virtually recognized the genuineness of the documents.

They were echoed by Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who believes that this event is the “September 11 for the world of diplomacy.” According to him, after such publication the trust between Washington and Rome “will be undermined.” However, everyone who is one way or another affected by these publications have to swallow it all. After all, the U.S. is obviously not the country to be fighting with.

There is nothing disturbing for the American-Italian relations in the fact that Berlusconi was called the names he deserves to be called.

The question arises as to how these documents fell into the hands of journalists. It is believed that the source of current leakage is a fellow of the American U.S. military intelligence Bradley Manning. The question is how such a volume of documents was left unprotected, and why no heads are rolling in the States.

One of the reasons is that essentially there is nothing new in these documents. Nobody has illusions as to how the U.S. acts and what methods it uses. We all know what role, for example, American diplomats have played in nearly every revolution in Latin America.

We know how the money and weapons got into the hands of the groups they support. We know that Americans carefully pushed the French out from their colonies and how they continue to destroy the remnants of the French influence in Africa and Oceania.

However, the helplessness of the most powerful nation in the world to the threat posed by a website is still surprising. Before publishing another portion of compromising material, Assange said that now hidden diplomacy will become impossible. Criminal plans and conspiracies will be leaked. He added that the world has entered a new phase – a strip of honesty and openness.

It is worth mentioning that back in the summer of this year unprecedented pressure was put on the founder of the whistle blower site Julian Assange. It involved initiating criminal proceedings against him on charges of harassment. However, despite this, the leak continues. According to the Wikileaks, another 250 thousand documents will be soon available in the open access.

The content of some materials already made public makes one carefully consider the true purpose of the publication. Take, for example, reports of American diplomats regarding the statements of the Azerbaijani leadership about Russia. According to these “documents,” the Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev is afraid of the imperial ambitions of the latter and is critical of the Russian system of government.

In particular, the U.S. report has mentioned that the President of Azerbaijan allegedly said that “you cannot cook two heads in one pot,” alluding to the ruling “tandem.”

In addition, some “documents” cannot withstand criticism. For example, the statements of US diplomats that during the negotiations Sarkozy-Medvedev in August of 2008, the French president allegedly grabbed the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and called him a liar are no more than a tale. The grounds for such conclusions were allegedly the statements of the French negotiators.

Note, however, that at a difficult time for Russia, Nicolas Sarkozy, in contrast to the American political elite, has shown himself at his best, playing a significant role in minimizing the consequences of the August war.

Therefore we cannot rule out the fact that this is a deliberate leak made by the United States, whose goal is to cause fights among different countries, including Russia.

US and British officials clashed over the use of a Cyprus air base for US spying missions in 2008, with London worried about complicity in potential rights abuses, leaked cables showed.

The government was particularly concerned about U2 spy plane missions to track militants in Lebanon, Turkey and northern Iraq that provided intelligence to Lebanese and Turkish authorities.

The newly-disclosed spat between the two close allies is the latest in a series of revelations stemming from the release of a trove of secret US embassy cables by the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.

The cables describe how British officials demanded to be kept better informed about covert missions out of Akrotiri air base and whether other governments were involved, so they could decide if the operations might carry legal or other risks, according to the cables.

The acrimonious discussions, during former president George W. Bush’s administration, led a US diplomat to write that an element of “distrust” had emerged in relations between the traditional allies, according to the 2008 documents, first reported in The Guardian.

Under political pressure at home over Britain’s role in secret CIA flights to transfer terror suspects, officials ordered the Americans to provide in writing more details about planned spying flights out of the base to ensure London was not a party to “unlawful” operations, the cables said.Word WikiLeaks to Worlds

A British letter to Washington on April 18, 2008, said “recent U2 flights over Turkey/Northern Iraq, and the Lebanon, have highlighted important legal and political issues which require much more careful consideration by HMG.”

Britain believed “it is important for us to be satisfied that HMG is not indirectly aiding the commission of unlawful acts by those governments on the basis of the information gathered through the assistance we provide to the US,” said the letter, quoted in the cable.

London was also concerned about “sensitivities” with the government in Cyprus, to avoid operations that might anger the local government and lead to losing access to the air base, the letter said.

London’s requests angered the Americans, who saw the requirements as hampering counter-terrorism efforts.

“Embassy London is concerned by HMG?s piling on of concerns and conditions, which portend a burdensome process for getting the rest of our intel flights approved,” a cable said.

While the United States shared Britain’s human rights concerns, “we cannot take a risk-avoidance approach to CT (counter-terrorism) in which the fear of potentially violating human rights allows terrorism to proliferate in Lebanon,” the US embassy in London wrote.

London’s concerns were due to an earlier revelation that the US government had transferred captured terror suspects through the British territory of Diego Garcia “without UK permission” and London’s “need to ensure it is not similarly blindsided in the future,” the US embassy wrote.

The embassy urged a high-level US diplomat to intervene after a British official said his government expected Washington to “ensure” any detainees captured in Lebanon with the help of spy flights would be “treated lawfully” by Lebanese authorities, the cables said.

A senior administration official then met with the Foreign Office’s head of defense and intelligence, who appeared to strike a more conciliatory tone.

The foreign office official said the discussions over spy flights were “unnecessarily confrontational” and backed away from demands over detainees captured as a result of the Lebanon spy flights, the embassy wrote.

But the official said Washington had gotten “sloppy” in its use of the Cyprus base, and that the Americans need to fully inform Britain about operations involving third countries, the cable said.

Despite US objections, the official insisted that requests for future flights be made through the US embassy in London and between both governments instead of only going through military channels, it said.

The official said the then foreign secretary David Miliband believed that “policymakers needed to get control of the military.”

Julian Assange in exclusive interview with Russky Reporter magazine (Russian Reporter)

TODAY 07.12.2010

Julian Assange, the founder of whistleblower website WikiLeaks, will voluntarily meet with British police to discuss a European arrest warrant, the Guardian said Tuesday citing his lawyers.

Assange, who has been in hiding since his website began releasing a huge number of confidential U.S. government documents to the public, is believed to be in the London area.

“He has not been charged with anything. We are in the process of making arrangements to meet the police by consent,” the Guardian quoted Assange’s lawyer Mark Stephens as saying.

A court in Stockholm approved a prosecution request in November to detain the 39-year old Australian, who is accused of rape and sexual harassment. On November 20, Interpol circulated a red notice, or international wanted persons alert, for Assange to all 188 member countries of the organization.

Stevens earlier said Scotland Yard initially dismissed the order for violating legal norms, but that the British authorities had now received all the necessary documents from Sweden to make an arrest.

According to the Guardian, “once Assange turns himself in to the police, he will have to appear before a magistrates’ court within 24 hours, where he will seek release on bail. A full hearing of his extradition case would have to be heard within 28 days.”

His lawyers fear that following Asssange’s extradition to Sweden he could be then extradited to the United States where he could face death penalty for violation of the Espionage Act of 1917.

Meanwhile, WikiLeaks has been forced to move to a Swiss host after being dumped by U.S. internet companies, the Guardian reported.

However, it continues to spawn mirror sites around the world despite Washington’s strong efforts to stop its activities.

NATO drew up plans in January to defend the Baltic states against Russia, the latest batch of leaked U.S. cables released by Wikileaks show.

“On January 22, NATO’s Military Committee agreed to expand Eagle Guardian, the Alliance’s contingency plan for the reinforcement and defense of Poland, to also include the defense and reinforcement of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania,” the cable, published on Monday in the Guardian, read.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mentions the plan in another cable released on Monday and stresses that it must be kept secret.

“We see the expansion of Eagle Guardian as a step toward the possible expansion of NATO’s other existing country-specific contingency plans into regional plans,” the cable said.

In May 2010, following the U.S. – Polish Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), the United States opened a temporary military base near the northern Polish town of Morag , 80 km (50 miles) from the Russian border. The base, which will become permanent from 2012, will deploy U.S. Patriot missiles and Standard Missile interceptor SM-3s.

Moscow was angered by the base’s proximity to the Russian Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.

Britain received an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on Monday. The whistleblower, who is wanted in Sweden on rape allegations, agreed on Tuesday to meet with British police to discuss the warrant.

Assange’s lawyers fear that from Sweden, Asssange could be extradited to the United States, where he could face death penalty for violation of the Espionage Act of 1917.

The founder of the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police in London on sexual assault charges, the BBC said.

Last week, Swedish prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for the 39-year-old Australian on suspicion of committing sexual assaults including rape. Assange denies the allegations.

Police said Assange was arrested at 09:30 a.m. GMT on Tuesday by appointment at a London police station on a European Arrest Warrant.

“He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010,” Scotland Yard said in a statement.

He is due to appear before the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court later today. WikiLeaks is under increasing international pressure over the release of U.S. diplomatic cables.

A month after dropping out of public view, the 39-year-old Australian surrendered to Scotland Yard to answer a warrant issued for his arrest by Sweden. He is wanted for questioning after two women accused him of having sex with them without a condom and without their consent.

Assange said he would fight extradition to Sweden, setting the stage for what could be a pitched legal battle. And as if to prove that it can’t be intimidated, WikiLeaks promptly released a dozen new cables, including details of a NATO defense plan for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that made Russia bristle.

The Pentagon welcomed Assange’s arrest.

“That sounds like good news to me,” U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on a visit to Afghanistan.

WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson insisted Assange’s arrest and the decision Tuesday by both Visa and MasterCard to stop processing donations to the group “will not change our operation.” Hrafnsson said the organization has no plans yet to make good on its threat to release en masse some of its most sensitive U.S. documents if it comes under attack.Word WikiLeaks to Worlds

At a court hearing in London, Assange showed no reaction as Judge Howard Riddle denied him bail while he awaits an extradition hearing Dec. 14. The judge said Assange might flee if released. When the judge asked him whether he would agree to be extradited, Assange said: “I do not consent.”

It was not publicly known which jail Assange was sent to, since British police never reveal that for privacy and security reasons. Some prisoners occasionally get Internet access, though only under close supervision.

The U.S. government is investigating whether Assange can be prosecuted for espionage or other offenses. On Tuesday, Pentagon and State Department officials said some foreign officials have suddenly grown reluctant to trust the U.S. because of the secrets spilled by WikiLeaks.

“We have already seen some indications of meetings that used to involve several diplomats and now involve fewer diplomats,” said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. “We’re conscious of at least one meeting where it was requested that notebooks be left outside the room.”

Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said the military had seen foreign contacts “pulling back.”

“Believing that the U.S. is not good at keeping secrets and having secrets out there certainly changed things,” Lapan said.

During the hour-long court hearing in London, attorney Gemma Lindfield, acting on behalf of the Swedish authorities, outlined the allegations of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion that were brought against Assange following separate sexual encounters in August with two women in Sweden.

Lindfield said one woman accused Assange of pinning her down and refusing to use a condom on the night of Aug. 14 in Stockholm. That woman also accused of Assange of molesting her in a way “designed to violate her sexual integrity” several days later. A second woman accused Assange of having sex with her without a condom while he was a guest at her Stockholm home and she was asleep.

A person who has sex with an unconscious, drunk or sleeping person in Sweden can be convicted of rape and sentenced to two to six years in prison.

Assange’s lawyers have claimed the accusations stem from disputes “over consensual but unprotected sex” and say the women made the claims only after finding out that Assange had slept with both.

Prosecutors in Sweden have not brought any formal charges against Assange. WikiLeaks lawyer Mark Stephens said there are doubts as to whether Sweden has the legal right to extradite him simply for questioning.

Experts say European arrest warrants like the one issued by Sweden can be tough to beat. Even if the warrant were defeated on a technicality, Sweden could simply issue a new one.

The extradition process could take anywhere from a week to two months, according to Assange’s Swedish lawyer Bjorn Hurtig. If Assange loses, he may appeal to the High Court. There can be further appeals, and Sweden also has a right to appeal if the court finds in Assange’s favor.

In the meantime, Stephens said he would reapply for bail, noting that several prominent Britons — including socialite Jemima Khan and filmmaker Ken Loach — have each offered to post 20,000 pounds ($31,500) so Assange could go free.

Australian government officials said they are providing Assange with consular assistance, as they do with any countryman arrested abroad. The consul general in London spoke to Assange to ensure he had legal representation, the government said.

Some people protested outside the London court, bearing signs reading, “Save Wikileaks, Save Free Speech” and “Trumped Up Charges.”

“I came to show my support for Julian,” said 26-year-old electrician Kim Krasniqi. “He is innocent. Europe is bullying him, They don’t want him to publish what he is publishing.”

The latest batch of confidential U.S. cables could strain relations between Washington and Moscow. The documents show that NATO secretly decided in January to defend the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania against military attack.

Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s ambassador to NATO, said Tuesday that Moscow will demand that NATO drop the agreement, which he argued is clearly aimed at his country.

“Against whom else could such a defense be intended? Against Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Iceland? Against polar bears, or against the Russian bear?” Rogozin said.

Popular Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul is no stranger to breaking with his party, but in a recent television appearance the libertarian-leaning Rep. went even further than any member of Congress in defending whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

Speaking to Fox Business host Judge Napolitano on Thursday about recent revelations at the Federal Reserve, Paul’s typical candor showed through.

“What we need is more WikiLeaks about the Federal Reserve,” he said. “Can you imagine what it’d be like if we had every conversation in the last 10 years with our Federal Reserve people, the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the central bankers of the world and every agreement or quid-pro-quo they have? It would be massive. People would be so outraged.”

Paul, a longtime critic of the US Federal Reserve, is the incoming chairman of a House subcommittee on monetary policy. His most recent book, titled “End the Fed,” takes aim at central banks the world over, blaming fiat money systems and fractional reserve banking for the world’s increasingly volatile economies.

“In a free society we’re supposed to know the truth,” Paul insisted. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we’re in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.

He added: “This whole notion that Assange, who’s an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason — I mean, aren’t they jumping to a wild conclusion? […] I mean, why don’t we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”

The Texas congressman echoed his message from Fox Business in a twitter post early Friday.

“In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth,” he wrote. “In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.”

Many Republicans have called for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian, to be prosecuted under the US Espionage Act, or for his site to be deemed a “foreign terrorist organization.” The Department of Justice said it was looking into who leaked the massive caches of documents to Assange and whether or not he could be prosecuted.

The site experienced a series of domain take-downs by mid-day Friday, but was back online via an IP address, with mirrors popping up across Europe.

Data released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday showed that foreign banks were among the biggest recipients of some $3.3 trillion in emergency loans offered by the US central bank amid the 2008 financial crisis.

More than $290 billion worth of mortgage securities were sold to Deutsche Bank, a German lender. Credit Suisse, a Swiss bank, got more than $287 billion in mortgage bonds. Corporations like Caterpillar, General Electric, Harley Davidson, McDonald’s, Verizon and Toyota also relied the programs.

In the 13th century, the Republic of Genoa conquered numerous settlements in Crimea, where the Genoese colony of Caffa was established. The alliance with the restored Byzantine Empire under the Palaiologos dynasty increased the wealth and power of Genoa and simultaneously decreased Venetian and Pisan commerce. The Byzantine Empire had granted most of their free trading rights to Genoa. In 1282, Pisa tried to gain control of the commerce and administration of Corsica, when Sinucello, the judge of Cinarca, revolted against Genoa and asked for Pisan support.[11][12]

In August 1282, part of the Genoese fleet blockaded Pisan commerce near the River Arno.[12] During 1283, both Genoa and Pisa made war preparations. Pisa gathered soldiers from Tuscany and appointed captains from its noble families. Genoa built 120 galleys; sixty of these belonged to the Republic and the remainder were rented to individuals. This fleet required at least 15,000 to 17,000 rowers and seamen.[12]

In early 1284, the Genoese fleet tried to conquer Porto Torres and Sassari in Sardinia. Part of the Genoese merchant fleet defeated a Pisan force while travelling to the Byzantine Empire. The Genoese fleet blocked Porto Pisano and attacked Pisan ships travelling in the Mediterranean Sea. A Genoese force of thirty ships led by Benedetto Zaccaria travelled to Porto Torres to support Genoese forces which were besieging Sassari.

When the Genoese appeared off Meloria, the Pisans were lying in the Arno at the mouth of which lay Porto Pisano, the port of the city. The Pisan fleet represented the whole power of the city, and carried members of every family of mark and most of the officers of state. The Genoese, desiring to draw their enemy out to battle and to make the action decisive, arranged their fleet in two lines abreast. According to Agostino Giustiniani, the first was composed of fifty-eight galleys, and eight panfili—a class of light galley of eastern origin named after the province of Pamphylia. Oberto Doria, the Genoese admiral, was stationed in the centre and in advance of his line. To the right were the galleys of the Spinola family, among those of four of the eight companies into which Genoa was divided: Castello, Piazzalunga, Macagnana and San Lorenzo. To the left were the galleys of the Doria family and the companies Porta, Soziglia, Porta Nuova and Il Borgo. The second line of twenty galleys under the command of Benedetto Zaccaria was placed so far behind the first that the Pisans could not see whether it was made up of war-vessels or of small craft meant to act as tenders to the others. It was near enough to strike in and decide the battle when the action had begun.[13]

The Pisans, commanded by the Podestà Morosini and his lieutenants Ugolino della Gherardesca and Andreotto Saraceno, came out in a single body. While the Archbishop was blessing the fleet, the silver cross of his archiepiscopal staff fell off, but the omen was disregarded by the irreverence of the Pisans, who declared that if they had the wind they could do without divine help. The Pisan fleet advanced in line abreast to meet the first line of the Genoese, fighting according to the medieval custom of ramming and boarding. The victory was decided for Genoa by the squadron of Zaccaria, which fell on the flank of the Pisans. Their fleet was nearly annihilated, the Podestà was captured and Ugolino fled with a few vessels.[13]

Chains from Porto Pisano taken by Genoa (returned in 1860 to Pisa)

Pisa was also attacked by Florence and Lucca, and it could never recover from the disaster. Two years later, Genoa took Porto Pisano, the city's access to the sea, and filled up the harbour. Pisa lost its role as a major Mediterranean naval power and a regional power of Tuscany, being overshadowed and finally conquered in 1406 by Florence. Count Ugolino was afterwards starved to death with several of his sons and grandsons, an event recounted in the 33rd canto of Dante's Inferno.[13] One famous captive of the battle was Rustichello da Pisa, who co-wrote Marco Polo's account of his travels, Il Milione.

Florida Launch

The Florida Launch were a professional men's field lacrosse team based in Boca Raton, Florida. They joined Major League Lacrosse (MLL) as an expansion team for the 2014 season until 2019. The team played its home games at Florida Atlantic University Stadium.[1] The team was owned by Jim Davis, founder and chairman of New Balance, an early investor in the MLL.[2]

Franchise historyEdit

2014–2016: New beginningsEdit

In November 2013, MLL granted an expansion franchise to Palm Beach County, Florida for the 2014 MLL Season. The formation of the Launch coincides with the dissolution of the Hamilton Nationals, and former National players have become members of the inaugural Launch squad.[3] Former Denver Outlaws assistant Stan Ross was named as the team's first coach.

Ross faced his former team in the Launch's inaugural game on Saturday, April 26, 2014 in their home opener.[4] The Launch lost their first game to the Outlaws 14-10. Josh Amidon scored the first goal in franchise history.[5] The team's first victory came in their second game, an 11-8 win over the Charlotte Hounds.[6]

After coaching the Launch to a combined 13-29 record over their first three seasons, Ross resigned on November 17, 2016.[7] Tom Mariano, former assistant coach for the Chesapeake Bayhawks, was announced his replacement on December 7.[8]

2017: Playoff breakthroughEdit

When the 2017 schedule was announced on November 15, 2016, the Launch also announced that their first three homes games would be played at various cities in Florida as a part of their 2017 Florida Tour to grow the game of lacrosse throughout the state.[9] Due to field renovations at FAU Stadium finishing sooner than expected, the Launch scheduled the home opener on May 13, 2017 after playing two games at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand, Fla.[10]

The Launch started the 2017 season with an unimpressive 2-3 record. On May 28, with the first pick in the year's collegiate draft, the Launch selected Dylan Molloy, attack from Brown University.[11] Molloy, originally from Long Island, boasted record break numbers at Brown University. Following the pick, the Launch rattled off three straight victories, including two over the New York Lizards to match their franchise high for victories in a season with five (only eight games into the season). The Launch would then go on to lose three of their next four, including an embarrassing 17-4 defeat to the Atlanta Blaze.

On July 29, the Launch entered their last game of the season controlling their own postseason fate. At 7-6, they entered Harvard Stadium to play the last-place Boston Cannons, who defeated them in the first week of the season in overtime. The Launch controlled the game for over 37 minutes, scoring the first six goals of the game and led 16-6 more than midway into the third quarter. The tides turned quickly however, and the Cannons rattled off 11 straight goals to take a 17-16 lead with 8:43 remaining. The Launch were able to recover though. Kieran McArdle tied the game a minute and a half later, and rookie Nick Mariano won the game with a goal with less than five minutes to go.[12] The Launch would finally clinch their first postseason berth in team history with an 18-17 win over the feisty Cannons and head into the final week of the season with a bye.[13]

On August 12, the Launch played the Ohio Machine at Fortress Obetz in the team's first ever playoff appearance. Florida kept it close for much of the game, but the eventual-champion Machine were able to separate themselves and defeat the Launch, 18-13.[14]

The next season, the Launch were not able to replicate their success. Despite getting off to a 2-1 start including a dominating 16-7 win over the eventual champion Denver Outlaws, the team finished the season with a disappointing 5-9 record. Dylan Molloy led the team in goals with 41.[15]

2019: MLL contraction and Launch foldingEdit

On April 1, 2019, the Florida Launch released a statement indicating that the team was folding as a result of a contraction of Major League Lacrosse from nine teams to six.[16]

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (season 2)

The second season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air premiered on September 9, 1991 and aired its season finale on May 4, 1992. In this season, the kitchen and living room sets of the Banks mansion (which is where most scenes were shot) were rebuilt to be larger and more contemporary, as opposed to the more formal style of the first season. They were connected by an archway, allowing scenes to be shot continuously between the sets.

Lesson 1236 – Using Red with Chicks

By Wendythomas @wendyenthomas

As we all start thinking about baby chicks (and I know some people have already gotten theirs and oh, do I have chick envy) I want to remind you of this very important bit of information.

Chickens like the color red. It’s in their DNA to investigate and peck at anything that is red. For this reason, most feeders and waterers have red bases.

red base

The chicks see red, they investigate and soon they learn that’s where the food and water is.

Sometimes though, you can get smaller chicks who may not be able to reach the top of the standard red bases. When this is the case in our house, I use red marbles in a jar lid or shallow dish filled with feed or water.

red marbles

The chicks see red, they investigate and soon they learn that’s where the food and water is. All is good.

Within a few days, the chicks are usually large enough to reach the standard feeders and I then remove the lids and marbles. Such an easy solution, everyone who gets chicks should have a few red marbles in their chicken care box.

When chicks get older though, their love for red doesn’t diminish. It’s why when we unearthed a nest of tiny pink mice, the chickens immediately pounced on them. It’s in their DNA.

It’s also the reason I no longer wear these earrings near my chickens.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Internet Service Provider

Also found in: Dictionary, Medical, Legal, Financial, Acronyms, Wikipedia.

Internet Service Provider

(company, networking)
(ISP) A company which provides other companies or individuals with access to, or presence on, the Internet. Most ISPs are also Internet Access Providers; extra services include help with design, creation and administration of World-Wide Web sites, training and administration of intranets and domain name registration.
This article is provided by FOLDOC - Free Online Dictionary of Computing (

(1) See in-system programmable.

(2) (Image Signal Processor) See image processor.

(3) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Also called an "Internet host," an ISP connects to users via cable, DSL or FiOS; however, ISPs can also deliver service via satellite, dial-up, ISDN, private lines and wireless. Customers are generally billed a fixed rate per month, but other charges may apply. Some ISPs have a limit on the amount of data transfer per month and charge extra for overage (see data cap). See The World, DSL, cable Internet, FiOS, T1, T3, WISP and SISP.

Your Own Website
ISPs often host a small website for their customers, allowing them to have a presence on the Web. However, the website may be limited to a maximum number of pages, and the domain name of the ISP becomes part of the customer's URL address. For a fee, an ISP may host a website that uses its customer's proprietary domain name (see Web hosting). See download vs. upload, IXP and backbone.

The Cellular Carrier Is Your ISP
For smartphone users, the ISP is the cellular carrier, such as Verizon and T-Mobile. Monthly plans are available for unlimited data or per gigabyte. See carrier data plans.

How They're Connected
Small ISPs hook into regional ISPs or directly into major backbone providers. This diagram shows a local ISP confined to a single county, and a regional ISP confined to a state. In practice, ISP networks often have irregular boundaries that span jurisdictions.

Biofuels Survive G20 Ag Ministers Meeting

Cindy Zimmerman

Biofuels survived a challenge on the international level this week as agriculture ministers meeting in France declined to recommend countries limit production to avoid impacting food prices.

The agreement reached by the ministers mainly focuses on creation of an agricultural market information system and removing barriers to food exports for humanitarian purposes. The ministers did call for further analysis of the impact of biofuels on food availability, price volatility and sustainability. “We also recognize the importance of research and development on biofuels, including those produced through new processes or new feedstocks, non-food feedstocks and other vegetable materials,” they said in their declaration.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack noted that biofuels development can help alleviate spikes in oil prices that impact food prices. “Furthermore, our work to support innovation in the development of non-food feedstocks and next generation renewable fuels will continue to help offset instability in the energy market, which accounts for the bulk of food and commodity price fluctuations in the past decade,” he said.

The European ethanol trade group ePURE said the ministers’ decision “recognizes the vital role of biofuels in reduction of greenhouse gases, energy security and rural development and said that there was not enough evidence to link biofuels to food price volatility. The European ethanol industry welcomes the decision by the G20 to vanquish the myth that biofuels are responsible for food price volatility.”

Wind Can Play Big Role in Clean Power

Joanna Schroeder

As states begin to put their Clean Power Plans (CPP) into place, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) has conduced analyses on potential optimal energy sources as part of a state’s electricity  mix. The leader: wind.

According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), wind’s role has not been widely discussed. As it relates to wind energy, the EIA found (as detailed in a report from AWEA):

  • Wind energy plays the largest role in the lowest cost energy portfolio for CPP compliance, with significant wind energy deployment in nearly all regions.
  • Recent declines in the cost of wind energy, coupled with the wind’s role in protecting against increases in the price of natural gas, make wind energy the lowest cost compliance options for nearly all regions.
  • Using zero-emission wind energy provides states with valuable flexibility that allows for less dramatic changes to the generation mix than using a resource with some emissions.
  • Based on EIA’s analysis, wind energy should be viewed as a “no regrets” solution for meeting the CPP.
Michael Goggin, Senior Director of Research, American Wind Energy Association.

Michael Goggin, Senior Director of Research, American Wind Energy Association.

In an interview with Michael Goggin, senior director of research for AWEA, he said that states are already forming regions and they are in the process of developing their plans and wind energy is playing a role in these plans. AWEA has provided a handbook for states to use as a guide for incorporating wind into the CPP plans.

Today, he noted, wind energy is being transferred from one region to another; however, improving transmission lines will be an important factor for states as they continue to add more renewable energy to their mix and replace aging infrastructure.

Using EIA’s analysis as a guide, Goggin explained that by 2030, the energy generation mix is expected to be: wind (57%), natural gas (10%), solar (14%) and energy efficiency (19%) while the costs of wind significantly declines and in the last four years, wind energy prices have declined by 60 percent along. However, he noted that wind opportunity identified by the EIA is conservative and does not account for changes that the EPA has proposed to the CPP rule that are expected to expand wind energy’s role even further. He added that their costs are outdated and about 15 percent higher than actual wind costs today, so in the future, wind is likely to be even more cost-effective than indicated.

Wind will play a role in all regions, said Goggin, even those that don’t generate the wind electricity themselves. He along with the AWEA team are working with regions to help them develop their plans. The EPA is expected to issue final rules in August.

Brotherhood's Akef, Katatni and Beltagy referred to criminal court

Former supreme guide Mahdy Akef, FJP leader Saad El-Katatni and Mohamed El-Beltagy are referred to the criminal court for inciting, and attempted, murder as well as possession of arms during anti-Morsi 30 June protests

Ahram Online , Wednesday 11 Sep 2013
Judge Tarek Abu Zeid, first attorney of the South Cairo prosecution, referred 30 Muslim Brotherhood members to the criminal court -- including former supreme guide Mahdy Akef and Freedom and Justice Party leader Saad El-Katatni -- for their involvement in the deadly June clashes in the Manial district and by the Supreme Guidance Office which left dozens of protesters dead.

Other prominent Brotherhood partisans referred to the criminal court are leading member Mohamed El-Beltagy, former member of ousted president Mohamed Morsi's presidential team Ayman Hodhod, and former minister of youth Osama Yassin.

The defendants are charged with inciting the murder of peaceful protesters and attempted murder, as well as possession of arms and explosives allegedly to be used for "terrorism" during the 30 June anti-Morsi protests, and specifically during the clashes in Manial and the Supreme Guidance Office.

The defendants denied all charges during the investigation.

The Tooth Fairy Trumps the Dentist (Monday’s Victory)

I have to share this little blessing (are any of them really little?) and felt like taking a silly slant for the title BUT am grateful to God’s assistance in this recent tooth tale. We were instructed by the Orthodontist that three of my daughter’s teeth would have to be removed due to crowding and some other concerns in her oral development, before she could get braces. My Girl, is sadly one of those kiddos who is highly phobic of needles, doctors etc. and the thought of tooth extractions was stressful on a good day. Adding to the stress was the reality that our Health Coverage would not cover for the extractions. We began planning the appointments, and shortly after the appointment with her  Ortho two of the teeth fell out on their own! The last tooth, our Doctor stated, would not fall out soon enough and so we went ahead and scheduled the extraction after a lengthy consultation with the Oral Surgeon for the end of May. The estimated out of pocket cost would be @500 dollars. When my daughter saw the bill she said, rip it up, my tooth is gonna come out! Sure enough, Sunday as I sizzled some meat for steak sandwiches she came tearing into the kitchen with that tooth in hand wearing a satisfied smile. I cancelled the appointment this morning. Sorry Doc, the Tooth Fairy wins on this one!

It seems small but God knows our concerns and needs, yes?
And those of our sweet babies. Even if they are not babies anymore!

And YES! Glory! I did ask God to let those teeth come out instead of having them pulled but did also follow the Doctor’s advice to plan otherwise as not to be negligent. In my prayer journal I can now record His answer and timing!

So my biggest and God knows most glorious blessing:
 #446 that three teeth came out #447 oral surgery was not needed
#448 grace found a way in perfect timing #449 He cares about every detail
# 450 He cares about sparrows and hairs on our head, and also molars, cuspids, bicuspids, and incisors.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Proverbs 16:3

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

  1. What a wonderful story, Dawn! (and I love the title and the image!). There is nothing so small it escapes his attention, is there? I just love a happy ending :).

  2. What a great story that God cares about even the details. You have a brave daughter! I'm glad we don't have to pull our own teeth anymore as adults. 🙂

  3. Hi DawnHip, who would have thought that our Pappa God will play the role of the tooth fairy just because one of His little ones wanted Him too! Beautiful story.Blessings from Emily'sMia

  4. Dawn, Nice to meet you. I'm hopping over from Ann's link up. Hurray for the teeth that came out without an oral surgeon. 🙂 We're contemplating similar issues with some possibly impacted wisdom teeth… Yuck. Nice to count gifts with you tonight, Jennifer
