Кар'єра в змішаних єдиноборствах

М-1 Global
Іслам Махачев дебютував на M-1 Global проти Тенгіза Кучуа 12 лютого 2011 року та виграв бій нокаутом в першому раунді. У другому бою Махачев зіткнувся проспектом з Франції Мансуром Барнауї (Mansour Barnaoui), 9 квітня, 2013 на M-1 Challenge 38. Він виграв бій одноголосним рішенням суддів. Далі Махачев зустрівся з бразильським бійцем, володарем чорного поясу по джиу-джитсу Рандером Джуніором 21 серпня 2013 року на M-1 Challenge 41 і здобув перемогу одноголосним рішенням суддів. У Таргімі, республіка Інгушетія в рамках турніру M-1 Challenge 49 Іслам виграв больовим прийомом на руку (важіль ліктя) у Юрія Івлєва. В останньому за контрактом бою в M-1 Іслам Махачев зустрівся з досвідченим бійцем з Хорватії Іваном Трушчеком на грандіозному турнірі M-1 Challenge 52 в Санкт-Петербурзі. Іслам домінував у бою і в третьому раунді змусив здатися суперника задушливим прийомом (зворотний трикутник).

Ultimate Fighting Championship
2 жовтня 2014 року Махачев підписав контракт з UFC на чотири бої. 23 травня 2015 року Махачев переміг Лео Кунца на UFC 187 задушливим прийомом в другому раунді.

3 жовтня 2015 на турнірі UFC 192 — Cormier vs. Gustafsson Махачев зустрівся з Адріану Мартінсом. Уже на другій хвилині першого раунду Мартінс пробив удар з правої руки в щелепу Махачева і відправив його в нокаут. Таким чином, Махачев зазнав першої і поки що єдиної поразки за свою кар'єру.

У квітні 2016 року Махачева було усунено від участі в змаганнях в зв'язку з вживанням допінгу. У липні того ж року Американське антидопінгове агентство (USADA) встановило, що Махачев вживав мельдоній в невеликих кількостях і протягом короткого проміжку часу під час лікування аритмії серця.

У ніч з 17 на 18 липня 2021 року на арені UFC APEX в Лас-Вегасі (штат Невада, США) в рамках турніру UFC Вегас 31 Іслам Махачев задушливим прийомом переміг бразильця Тіаго Мойзеса.

Станом на липень 2021 року веде переможну серію з 8 перемог поспіль.

Well yesterday I deep cleaned the cottage as the sun shone and the geese chased the ducks and honked at them. Then I handed the farm back to it's owners and tiredly made my way back to the flat.
I realized when I got to the flat that I felt really ill. My temperature went up suddenly and I was aching and itchy and tired.
And my back hurt, so much that it was hard to straighten up and walk, and my arm hurt as well.
I unpacked at the flat, but I was hungry and didn't have anything to cook and didn't have much money left.
I went to the shop and got a pizza, which is an easy and filling meal. I had that to eat and lay on the bed with a pillow for my back, and watched DVDs.
I felt a bit better, and as I browsed the internet, I realised that I could probably do a lot of the little assignments on the content writing site. So I made a start and did three, 100 words each and paying about £1 each which isn't much but at my speed and considering it builds up my experience and record of content writing, it seemed worth it. When I had done three I got a message saying that as I am a new writer, the site has to check these assignments before I continue.
This was annoying because all the work will be done by the time they check them, and in my instructions when I joined, I was told that they assess your work after 5 assignments, not 3.
Anyway, whether or not you understand that, I have made my first steps in content writing. Small steps.
Someone texted me, having seen my gardening adverts, but I had no credit to text back. So I thought it would wait until today after I have done some work for the care home.
Today I needed money for rent, petrol, £5 credit for the phone, and about £10 for a bill tomorrow.
I am fortunate to have good friends and was surprised when a friend emailed and said she had sent me some money.
I went out to see if there were any local delivery driving jobs last night, and came home not feeling too ill, and went to bed.
I had a restless night and woke too sleepy as it got light, I went to the loo and went back to bed, and slept in until nearly 10am!
I was dreaming too. I dreamed there was a funeral, someone at my church, and then I dreamed I met Bob Hill and Neil McMurray and they actually listened when I said that I couldn't cope with their coverage of my case as I was too traumatized.
It's funny, Neil didn't look like he did at the hospital.
We talked about my books as well, and there were ferries and planes and choppy seas.
It was nice that Bob was OK in my dream, although he didn't actually speak speak, but nonetheless was able to make his point in the conversation.
Anyway, I woke up feeling really ill again. I have had all the meds possible and am just about human again. I realised I cut my hand moving the duck house yesterday and my hand was infected.
I wonder if I got sick from that or something on the farm? I have disinfected the cut.
I am still tired and not great but also not in great pain, so I will go and do the care home. And I will get credit and text this new garden, there is plenty of work there apparently and the owner is ill.


A public interest litigation was filed in the Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday against the government's decision to hold blood camps across the state to mark the birth anniversary of Jan Sangh leader Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhay on Sept 25.
The day coincides with the festival of Bakri Id and many minority organisations have criticised the move saying it would deprive Muslim employees from celebrating their biggest festival with their families.
However, the government has made the participation of the government employees specially teachers and health officials in these camps, voluntary.
The forum's state president Sawai Singh said that the BJP government was "deliberately" making issues to create resentment amongst the minority community.
The members also say the government's move is against Constitutional rights of the citizens of India as now employees will have to be engaged in arrangements for the blood donation camps on September 25 and also on days prior to that. And the employees would have to take due permission from their seniors to take leave on that day or prior to that.
The forum members say the government in its order has also instructed principals to not to grant any employees leaves a day before, on September 24.
Commissioner of College Education Rajendra Sharma had said in an order, that the government holiday on Id is unchanged but some employees in colleges will have to be deployed in arrangements of holding the camps on September 25.
Raje government would be holding several camps blood donation camps with participation of all the government and private colleges, technical, art colleges on September 25. The government has released a list today which lists the number of colleges at 40.
The government has also issued orders for the principals, teachers and even NCC instructors to see that more and more number of students participate in these blood camps.
Pt Deen Dayal Updhayay, who was born on Sept 25, 1916 in Mathura district, is considered an important leader of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, the forerunner of BJP.

I joined the Air Force immediately after graduating high school, started taking online classes about a year and a half later, and will hopefully have my degree by next spring. By the time I graduate, I will have spent about four years with Ashford University. My experience with Ashford so far has been phenomenal. I've taken online courses with two other universities and Ashford is definitely my top choice for several different reasons. Being active duty military with a full-time job and being a full-time student has definitely proved difficult at times, but completely worth it. My major is Social and Criminal Justice and I also have an associate degree in Intelligence Studies and Technology through the Community College of the Air Force. I am originally from Alabama, lived in Las Vegas for the past four years, and am now stationed in South Korea for one year. I am the oldest of four children in my family of six and we are all still very close. My fiance and I will be getting married soon and I hope to be able to return to Las Vegas so we can live in the same place for a while. My job for the Air Force is in the intelligence career field and I love what I do. As for hobbies other than school work (which I totally consider a hobby), I enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, scrapbooking, and cooking. I chose to be a mentor because I honestly think having a mentor when I started taking classes could have been helpful. I have experienced many obstacles since taking classes, so I hope to able to help my mentee through his/her own obstacles they may face. Also, I just want to be able to encourage them to continue working towards their goal because one can never have too many motivators! Looking forward to the next few weeks and experiencing this program with all of you!


Take world-champion, basketball star Scottie Pippen for example. As a 6′ feet 2″ inches tall, 145-pound point guard playing on his high school basketball team, his prospects for playing college ball and, ultimately in the NBA, were amazingly low.
When the state campus at Monticello failed to come through with the opportunity Pippen hoped for, he ended up at the University of Central Arkansas under the tutelage of head coach Donald Dyer, as a work-study "manager." Little did he know, Pippen was well positioned to learn and prepare himself by working out with the team and continuing his own skill-building practices.
Later, when he grew to 6′feet 8″ inches tall Pippen got his big break by making the team, averaging 23 points a game and earning a full scholarship. Even though his chances were slim, Scottie Pippen didn't quit practicing for his dream career as a professional basketball player. His constant preparation meant being ready to capitalize when his opportunity finally arrived.
When you do something a certain way and continue doing it that way repeatedly until it becomes almost involuntary — that is a habit. As we constantly repeat activities, they can become an energy force that is increasingly difficult to change. Like Scottie Pippen, practicing some habits serves us in a positive way, giving us energy. On the other hand, some do not and instead, rob energy and opportunities from us.
Find a career coach or mentor to use as a sounding board.
Take an honest inventory of the activities and people in your life.
Ask yourself if you're losing energy when interacting with a particular person or engaging in a specific activity.
Make it an ongoing practice to remove your focus from the negative energies and increase your attention towards the positive energies and influences in your life and the ball to total career fulfillment will remain in your court.


Although rare, cancer, including lymphoma, does occur in pregnant women. The effect of both the cancer and treatment on the fetus is a major concern to expectant parents, adding to the stress of dealing with a diagnosis of malignancy. Some types of anti-cancer treatment, such as the anti-folate drug methotrexate, are best avoided at all stages of fetal development, and the effects of other classes are likely dependent in part on the physical characteristics of each drug, which can affect the ability of each to cross the placenta. For example, certain anthracyclines, which are critical in the treatment of lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies, cross the placenta poorly, whereas others, such as idarubicin and liposomal formulations of doxorubicin, have physical characteristics which allow greater penetration into the fetal circulation.
Fortunately, evidence is mounting that exposure of the fetus to many common types of chemotherapy after the first trimester does not produce negative effects on normal development, either in terms of organ development or neurologic function. A recent study published in the Lancet Oncology observed children born to mothers that were treated for cancer and compared their physical, behavioral and cognitive development to established norms in similar populations. The authors found that children born to mothers that were exposed to chemotherapy for treatment of cancer after the first trimester did not show notable differences in development from children in the general population matched for other characteristics. Although the numbers were too small to compare different chemotherapy regimens in their effects, the general finding of no significant decrement in development in this prospective study was encouraging. Of note, the most powerful predictor of cognitive developmental delay was premature birth, comparable to that seen in children born prematurely for other reasons. Although it is not possible to definitively rule out an additional effect of chemotherapy in this group, this finding argues that "iatrogenic prematurity," or delivery of a baby before term for purposes of treating the mother's cancer, is likely to be counter-productive, unless undertaken for a specific reason other than sparing the fetus exposure to chemotherapy.
Another critically important question involves the outcome of treatment for the patient. Pregnancy affects blood volume and could affect the body's handling and metabolism of chemotherapy drugs. No large prospective studies are available to address this issue, but a presentation by Dr. Andrew Evens of the University of Massachusetts at the most recent meeting of the American Society of Hematology in December of 2011 showed excellent outcomes in a retrospective study of 88 women diagnosed with lymphoma during pregnancy. Weill Cornell Medical College participated in the study. Although the retrospective nature of the study and heterogeneity of the patients preclude definitive conclusions, this study provides more encouraging data for women facing a diagnosis of lymphoma during pregnancy.

China becoming a global leader in CCS
By Rob Cockerill2013-04-07T00:20:00+01:00
China must be commended for its impressive approach to tackling the climate change challenge, including through large–scale investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, according to Global CCS Institute Chairman Professor Paul Dougas.
Speaking at the opening of the institute's new office in Beijing last month, Professor Dougas acknowledged the Chinese Government for embedding climate change policy in its industrial and economic development agenda.
"There is a limited period in which the world can deal with the climate change challenge, which threatens our economic, social and environmental wellbeing," Professor Dougas said. "I applaud China's approach to dealing with this incredibly difficult problem through a range of ambitious policies and actions, emissions reduction targets, and inclusion of CCS in the 12th Five–Year Plan."
The institute's CEO, Brad Page, said the decision to open an office in China reflected the important role the country was increasingly playing in combatting dangerous climate change through CCS technology.
"China has emerged as the recent fast mover in CCS," Mr Page said. "Indeed, it is establishing itself as a leader in CCS, accounting for more than half of all newly identified large–scale integrated projects [LSIPs] around the world in 2012."
"China now has 11 LSIPs in various stages of planning, as well as more pilot projects than in any other country. And, demonstrating both the technical and commercial viability of CCS, many of these smaller projects are already operating successfully."
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between China's Department of Climate Change, National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Institute, signed a year ago, has opened the door for greater cooperation and significant progress on CCS. Collaborative projects, for example, have already included a capacity building workshop for stakeholders on storing carbon dioxide (CO2) and enhanced oil recovery, and public awareness activities.
Under an MoU signed at the recent opening ceremony, the institute and Yanchang intend to cooperate on pilot and large–scale CCS demonstration projects in the coal-to-chemicals sector.

European progress on CCS must catch up with policy, says report
More supportive and equitable government policy, especially in Europe, is absolutely essential for a positive business case to be made for carbon capture and storage (CCS), says Global CCS Institute CEO Brad Page.
New report claims CCS plants won't deliver predicted emission reductions
A new report has found that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants will cut the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of electricity by only 70%, up to 20% less than had previously been assumed.
Twelve fully-funded scholarships for CCS Masters programme
The UK's carbon capture and storage industry is putting down roots, and it could be time to consider a change in career path. If you have the inclination but not the means, a full-fee scholarship could be the way forward.
Approval for Canadian LNG projects
Canada's Environment Minister, Mary Polak, and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman have issued Environmental Assessment Certificates for three LNG projects in northern British Columbia.
Rapidox 7100 analyser released
Cambridge Sensotec has launched its new generation of Rapidox Multigas analysers, designed and manufactured for the analysis, control and monitoring of emission or process gas.
Gasmet analyser used in space simulation
A portable FTIR gas analyser from Gasmet has recently been used as part of a specialist space sector project to understand the potential issues facing any manned missions to Mars.

An electrochromic data display and imaging device which may be formed by sandwich arrangement of the imaging area and the counter-electrode area, with a suitable self-supporting ion-conductive layer between.
This invention relates to electro-optical devices whose electromagnetic radiation absorption characteristics can be selectively altered by influence of a suitably controlled electric field. More particularly, this invention is directed to a sandwich type cell in which two layers of electrochromic material are separated by a self-supporting ion conducting medium.
In commonly assigned, copending U.S. applications, Ser. No. 41,153 .Iadd.now abandoned, .Iaddend.Ser. No. 41,154 .Iadd.now abandoned .Iaddend.and Ser. No. 41,155 .Iadd.now U.S. Pat. 3,708,220, .Iaddend.all filed May 25, 1970, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,521,941 and 3,578,843.[.; Ser. No. 41,153, abandoned and refiled as Ser. No. 211,857, Dec. 23, 1971, abandoned and refiled as Ser. No. 361,760, May 18, 1973, now copending; Ser. No. 41,154, abandoned and refiled, now pending; Ser. No. 41,155, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,708,220;.]..Iadd., .Iaddend.there are described electro-optical devices exhibiting a phenomenon known as persistent electrochromism wherein electromagnetic radiation absorption characteristic of a persistent electrochromic (EC) material is altered under the influence of an electric field. Such devices were employed in sandwich arrangement between two electrodes. Coloration was induced by charging the electrochromic film negative with respect to the counter-electrode, employing an external potential. The counter-electrode can be the same as the persistent electrochromic material or different.
By reversing the original polarity of the field or by applying a new field, it was also possible to cancel, erase or bleach the visible coloration.
These steps of color induction and erasure are defined as cycling.
The devices described in the prior applications are effective to change their electromagnetic radiation transmitting properties under the influence of an electric field, and have extremely good visibility over a wide range of lighting conditions, including high ambient light. However, these EC displays normally feature a light color background which consists of a thin layer of pigment mixed with a liquid electrolyte to form an ion conducting layer. This layer serves to hide the black counter-electrode and to provide good contrast with the blue-black EC film. It has been found that EC displays when stored for long periods of time, especially when stored on edge, develop a problem of separation of the pigment background. This appears as a black crack in the light background due to the carbon counter-electrode showing through. Efforts to cope with this problem by providing thickened, gel-like electrolyte pastes resulted in slowing the switching speed as the thickened electrolyte reduced the mobility of ions between the electrodes.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an ion-conducting medium having a color pigment incorporated which will retain a homogeneous consistency under varying physical conditions, over a long period of time.
This and other objects of the invention will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds.
The image display device is formed in a sandwich arrangement of an electrochromic layer as an imaging area and a counter-electrode with a spacing of an ion-conducting medium, e.g. an electrolyte, between the areas. Means are provided for supplying electric current to the counter-electrode layer. Any conventional means is suitable. A particularly advantageous means for electrical connection is to deposit the electrochromic imaging layer and counter-electrode on a conductive surface, such as NESA glass. It is particularly advantageous to incorporate a pigment material with the electrolyte for greater contrast and for masking the counter-electrode.
The present invention discloses methods of preventing the pigment from separating in one area and compacting in another by binding the pigment in a self-supporting structure. Another advantage provided is that the self-supporting pigment structure acts as a separator preventing electrical shorting of the EC and counter-electrodes. The methods used to prepare the pigment layer result in porous structures which do not restrict ion flow and thereby maintain good switching speed.
As used herein, a "persistent electrochromic material" is defined as a material responsive to the application of an electric field of a given polarity to change from a first presistent state in which it is essentially non-absorptive of electromagnetic radiation in a given wavelength region, to a second persistent state in which it is absorptive of electromagnetic radiation in the given wavelength region, and once in said second state, is responsive to the application of an electric field of the opposite polarity to return to its first state. Certain of such materials can also be responsive to a short circuiting condition, in the absence of an electric field so as to return to the initial state.
By "persistent" is meant the ability of the material to remain in the absorptive state to which it is changed, after removal of the electric field, as distinguished from a substantially instantaneous reversion to the initial state, as in the case of the Franz-Keldysh effect.
The materials which form the electrochromic materials of the device in general are electrical insulators or semiconductors. Thus are excluded those metals, metal alloys, and other metal-containing compounds which are relatively good electrical conductors.
The persistent electrochromic materials are further characterized as inorganic substances which are solid under the conditions of use, whether as pure elements, alloys, or chemical compounds, containing at least one element of variable oxidation state, that is, at least one element of the Periodic System which can exist in more than one oxidation state in addition to zero. The term "oxidation state" as employed herein is defined in "Inorganic Chemistry," T. Moeller, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1952.
These include materials containing a transition metal element (including Lanthanide and Actinide series elements), and materials containing non-alkali metal elements such as copper. Preferred materials of this class are films of transition metal compounds in which the transition metal may exist in any oxidation state from +2 to +8. Examples of these are: transition metal oxides, transition metal oxysulfides, transition methalides, selenides, tellurides, chromates, molybdates, tungstates, vanadates, niobates, tantalates, titanates, stannates, and the like. Particularly preferred are films of metal stannates, oxides and sulfides of the metals of Group (IV)B, (V)B and (VI)B of the Period System, and Lanthanide series metal oxides and sulfides. Examples of such are copper stannate, tungsten oxide, cerium oxide, cobalt tungstate, metal molybdates, metal titanates, metal niobates, and the like.
Additional examples of such compounds are the following oxides: MO oxides, e.g. MnO, NiO, CoO, etc.; M2 O3 oxides, e.g., Cr2 O3, Fe2 O3, Y2 O3, Yb2 O3, V2 O3, Ti2 O3, Mn2 O3, etc.; MO2 oxides, e.g., TiO2, MnO2, ThO2, etc.; M3 O4 oxides, e.g., Co3 O4, Mn3 O4, Fe3 O4, etc.; MO3 oxides, e.g., CrO3, UO3, etc.; M2 O5 oxides, e.g., V2 O5 etc., Nb2 O5, Ta2 O5 etc.; M4 O6 oxides; M2 O7 oxides such as M2 O7 ; complex oxides such as those of the formula XYO2 (X and Y being different metals), e.g., LiNiO2, etc.; XYO3 oxides, e.g., LiMnO3, FeTiO3, MnTiO3, CoTiO3, NiTiO3, LiNbO3, LiTaO3, NaWO3, etc.; XYO4 oxides, e.g., MgWO4, CdWO4, NiWO4, etc.; XY2 O6, e.g., CaNb2 O6 ("Niobite" oxides); X2 Y2 O6, e.g., Na2 Nb2 O6 : Spinel structure oxides, i.e., of the formula X2 YO4, e.g., Na2 MoO4, NaWO4, Ag2 MoO4, Cu2 MoO4, Li2 MoO4, Li2 WO4, Sr2 TiO4, Ca2 MnO4, etc.; XY2 O4, e.g., FeCr2 O4, TiZn2 O4, etc.; X2 YO5 oxides, e.g., Fe2 TiO5, Al2 TiO5, etc.; and X3 Y3 O (ternary) oxides, e.g., Mo3 Fe3 O, W3 Fe3 O, X3 Ti3 O (where X is Mn, Fe, Co, etc.). For a discussion of some complex oxides, see Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, Cotten and Wilkinson, p. 51, (1966), Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York and Progress in Inorganic Chem., Vol. 1, 465 (1959) Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York. Also included are nitrides, and the sulfides corresponding to the above oxides. Hydrates of certain metal oxides may also be used, e.g., WO3.H2 O, WO3.2H2 O, MoO3.H2 O and MoO3.2H2 O.
A particularly advantageous aspect in the present invention is the use of two separate layers of identical electrochromic materials one layer being employed in the counterelectrode for the other layer. A preferred embodiment consists of tungsten oxide as the electrochromic color electrode and tungsten oxide and graphite as the counter-electrode.
While the general mechanism of persistent electrochromism is unknown, the coloration is observed to occur at the negatively charged electrochromic layer. Generally, the phenomenon of persistent electrochromism is believed to involve cation transport such as hydrogen or lithium ions to the negative electrode where color centers form in the electrochromic image layer as a result of charge compensating electron flow.
When the persistent electrochromic materials are employed as films, thickness desirably will be in the range of from about 0.1-100 microns. However, since a small potential will provide an enormous field strength across very thin films the latter, i.e., 0.1-10 microns, are preferred over thicker ones. Optimum thickness will also be determined by the nature of the particular compound being laid down as a film and by the film-forming method since the particular compound and film-forming method may place physical (e.g., non-uniform film surface) and economic limitations on manufacture of the devices.
The films may be laid down on any substrate which, relative to the film, is electrically conducting. The electrically conductive material may be coated on another suitable substrate material including glass, wood, paper, plastics, plaster, and the like, including transparent, translucent, opaque or other optical quality materials. A preferred embodiment in the instant device would employ at least one transparent electrode.
When tungsten oxide is employed as the electrochromic imaging material and an electric field is applied between the electrodes, a blue coloration of the previously transparent electrochromic layer occurs, i.e., the presistent electrochromic layer becomes absorptive of electromagnetic radiation over a band initially encompassing the red end of the visible spectrum, thereby rendering the imaging layer blue in appearance. Prior to the application of the electric field, the electrochromic imaging layer was essentially non-absorbent and thus transparent.
As previously indicated, the counter-electrode may be any electrically conductive material. Particularly advantageous is a layer of electrochromic material, as described previously. It is also advantageous to use the same electrochromic material for the imaging area and counter-electrode. A mixture of graphite and an electrochromic material, or graphite alone may be used as the counter-electrode. Other metallic counter-electrodes are disclosed in copending application, Ser. No. 41,154.
FIG. 4 is a front view of a linear digital display according to the invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional EC information display having transparent EC electrode 1, light colored, pigmented ion conducting medium layer 2 and opaque counter-electrode 3. Layer 2 may be a porous self-supporting layer incorporating a pigment, or other desired materials, and soaked in an electrolyte, e.g. sulfuric acid, or the like as disclosed in commonly assigned application Ser. No. 41,154, filed May 25, 1970. The EC electrode 1 forms the viewing surface and has a transparent or translucent substrate 5, e.g. glass, with a conductive layer 6, e.g. tin oxide, and an electrochromic layer 7. The counter-electrode 3 is also a composite of a conductive layer 8 on a substrate 9, and a counter-electrode material 10 such as carbon, tungsten oxide, or a mixture thereof. A suitable substrate for the viewing area and counter-electrode is NESA glass, which is glass having a thin transparent layer of tin oxide.
When battery 11 is connected to make counter-electrode 3 negative, EC electrode layer 7 colors. When the connections are reversed, EC layer 7 erases (or bleaches).
In FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are shown electrochromic devices with the EC layer 7 in the form of a plurality of segments which may be selectively activated to show numbers. FIG. 2 shows the number 4.
The invention should be usefully applied in EC displays for watches, clocks, calculators, telephone displays, automotive dashboards, instrument indicators and advertising displays.
A counter-electrode was prepared as follows: Dixon Crucible Co. Graphokote No. 120 was brushed on a clean substrate on NESA glass. While the Graphokote 120 film was still wet, WO3 powder was sprinkled onto the surface. Air drying for 1/2 hour at 25° C. and baking at 300° C. for 1/2 hour followed. The WO3 particles became embedded in the graphite film as the electrode was air dried at 25° C. The electrode was cooled to 25° C. and soaked in a solution of glycerin-sulfuric acid 10:1 by volume for 24 hours minimum, rinsed with acetone and baked at 90° C. for 1/2 hour to dry. The resulting deposit was composed of approximately 0.5 gm/cm2 WO3 on 2.0 mg./cm2 Graphokote 120.
Type I pigment layers employ adhesive binders to hold the pigment powder in a self-supporting, porous film. Examples of Type I are: (a) Mix the ratio 1 gm of Sun Yellow C pigment to 1 cc part A and 1 cc part B Peterson Clear Epoxy with 1 cc Peterson Epoxy Thinner. The mix is sprayed onto Teflon sheet, cured for 1 hour at 65° C. and stripped from the Teflon film. The pigmented film. The pigmented film can be cut to size for insertion into the EC device. (b) Beginning with Rohm and Haas Latex AC-34, mix 1 part to 9 parts (by volume) water. Add 1.5 cc of this mix to 1 gram of Sun Yellow C pigment and brush onto a microporous polypropylene film, Celanese Plastics Company Celgard No. 2400 W. Room temperature dry for 1/2 hour then bake at 60° C. for 15 minutes. Cut the pigment on polypropylene film to size and assemble into the device.
Type II pigment layers feature a non-adhesive method of bonding of the pigment particles into a self-supporting layer. In one example 20 grams of BaSO4 powder was mixed with a dispersion containing 2 grams solids of Dupont TFE Dispersion 30B and water. The loose mix was blended in a Waring Blender for several minutes and heated in an oven at 120° C. to drive off the water. Ten grams of glycerin was added and stirred into the mix. The mix was placed between sheets of Teflon film and squeezed to a thin film in a power roll. This rolling operation fibrillates the Teflon 30B and traps the pigment in the structure. The rolled film was stripped from the Teflon sheets and the glycerin was extracted in an overnight water wash leaving a porous pigment film. The film was over dried and cut to size for assembly into an EC display.
Type III pigment layers are prepared by the paper-making process. In one example 3 grams of BaSO4 powder, 3 grams of Sun Yellow C pigment and 1 gram (solids) of acrylic fiber pulp were mixed with 300 cc of water and blended for 15 seconds. One cc of Cyanamid M560C flocculant was hand stirred into the mix until the water cleared. The sheet was formed using a common 6 inch diameter, paper-making machine. The sheet was roll sized and dried on a rotating drum drier for 1 minute at 120° C. A sheet 0.015 inch thick resulted which could be cut and assembled into an EC display.
An electrochromic device was constructed from two NESA glass plates. One conductive NESA plate was coated with a 0.5 micron thick evaporated film of tungsten oxide. The other NESA plate was a counter-electrode as in Example 1. The glass plate so formed were pressed together with the electrochromic and graphite films facing each other but separated by a spacing layer as described in Example 2, the layer having been saturated with a 1:10 ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid and glycerin. This device was cycled from color to clear and back to color at an applied potential of 1.1 volts D.C. with half cycles of 100 milliseconds. The device underwent 5,000,000 cycles of switching at 60 cycles per minute without observable deterioration.
Previous methods attempting to correct the pigment separation problem resulted in slowing the switching speed. This invention eliminates the problem without slowing the switching speed of the display. The invention also makes possible a variety of cosmetic effects not previously possible, allowing for improvements in appearance of these background films. For example, the good insulating properties of these films may permit the addition of reflecting metal particles to add "sparkle" to the display background.
The invention is expected to be useful in applications which include information displays, indicators and others where the display is used in the reflective mode. It is particularly useful in applications involving large area display or applications in which shock and vibration is present, such as in automobile dashboard displays, and the like.

McCaskill gives "last live interview" on MSNBC; calls Trump wildly irresponsible, very dangerous on Syria
December 20, 2018 By Jason Taylor
Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill granted what she called her "last live interview as a Senator" Wednesday night on MSNBC, where she called President Trump wildly irresponsible and very dangerous on his latest move in Syria.
The two-term Senator who lost her re-election bid in November to Republican Josh Hawley was quizzed for roughly 11 minutes by political talk show host Rachel Maddow.
The five minutes of the interview were consumed by McCaskill's reaction to Wednesday's surprise announcement by President Trump that all US troops would be leaving Syria.
The President said, "We have won against ISIS", but the sudden policy shift took many lawmakers and administration officials by surprise and drew sharp criticism from senators on both sides of the aisle.
McCaskill said leaving the country amounts to an abandonment of the Kurds who fought side by side with Americans in the region. She called the presence of 2,000 soldiers in Syria the "balance" in limiting aggressive moves in the country by Turkey, Russia, and Iran.
The former Missouri State Auditor said Trump is ignoring the complexities of the Syrian conflict in order to change a news cycle focused on investigations into him. "That's what's most disturbing, that he is making these irresponsible and impulsive decisions in the context of our military involvement around the world," said McCaskill.
She also suggested Trump was aiming to shore up his base voters who might be frustrated that a wall on the southern border is not yet built and to help fulfill a campaign promise to bring troops from far off places home. McCaskill noted that Trump's move to pull troops out of Syria is in direct conflict with statements from national security advisor John Bolton, who has said the U.S. would not leave the country if it would strengthen the hand of Iran.
When Maddow asked her if it was wise for Democrats to have a large number of Senators vying to run for President as the party now has, McCaskill said the public has a distrust of politicians from Washington. She suggested an outsider who is inspirational and trustworthy in the age of Trump would have a better shot at winning the Presidency.
McCaskill also said she became disenchanted with the thought of running for the highest office herself after witnessing first hand what she called the "flawed process" as a surrogate for former President Obama. She reiterated a sentiment she's expressed several times since being defeated in November that she's not interested in running for elected office again. In previous exchanges, the former state representative said she's tired of asking for money.
Maddow asked how criticism from progressive leaning pundits like herself had impacted the outgoing Missouri Senator who is a moderate. McCaskill said it's been a distraction from her priority of getting things done. "Screaming pure progressive politics on one side of the room does not get people to the middle and actually accomplish things," said McCaskill. "We only accomplish things, the tough stuff only gets fixed if we take tough votes and we compromise."
McCaskill noted she was hounded within Missouri about not being vocal enough on progressive issues in the last election cycle, which she said was counterproductive to her campaign. "There are some issues, like those macaroni and cheese issues, like the dignity of a job and real wage increases and real affordable health care issues that are important to working people in urban areas and in rural areas," said McCaskill. "Those are the issues I needed to focus on. I wanted that to be the center because that's where I knew most people agreed."
McCaskill and Maddow seemed the acknowledge their progressive and moderate differences within the Democratic Party toward the end of the interview. McCaskill said, "You're never going to get 60 votes in the Senate for free college," a common priority trumpeted by the progressive wing of the party. Maddow responded by saying, "You'll get it (free college) someday if you start talking about it now."
Lawrence O'Donnell, another left-leaning talk show host who follows Maddow on MSNBC, praised McCaskill for wanting to know "the best way to do her job." O'Donnell is a former Democratic operative in the U.S. Senate who spoke with McCaskill in the early stages of her 2006 run for office.

Q: Magento - Checkout - Cart page blank I am looking for a solution to my checkout cart page in Magento. When I put items into add to cart then cart page is getting blank.!!
I have tried several options & still it is showing blank. I have enabled cookies etc but still no luck. I am using firefox browser and attached a screen shot of the cookies settings.
Page URL - index.php/checkout/cart/add/uenc/aHR0cDovLzE5Mi4xNjguMS4xMTQ6ODEvZXNzZW50aWFsbHkvaW5kZXgucGhwL2NsZWFuc2UuaHRtbD9fX19TSUQ9VQ,,/product/2/
Please anyone can help me with this issue??
http://www.itsthe1.com/cookies.jpg
Thanks in advance.

A: This is a PHP Memory Limit Issues. Its happens to me.
Even if 256 MB will not work so go for 500m
Go to magento Root and .htaccess and change the current value to as per this and then Flush the cache and check your shopping cart and it will work.
## adjust memory limit
php_value memory_limit 500M
php_value max_execution_time 18000

Please Note: This is not an Extension issues.
Thanks!!!

A: This issue does not seem like a cookie problem. You will need to debug the problem more. Open your index.php in the web root and add the following lines - ini_set('display_errors', 1); & Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true); then refresh the page.
This should give you a clear indication of any issues with the php file.

A: Blank page is a result of error.
Checkout page needs more memory and it has been observed that due to memory constraint there will be out of memory error.Which inturn will result in blank page.

A: I had gotten the same error. Firstly add ini_set('display_errors', 1); in your index.php to check what is the error.
Mine was Cannot instantiate interface Magento\Vault\Api\Data\PaymentTokenInterfaceFactory in developer.php line 73
There was nothing wrong in both of these files. PaymentTokenInterfaceFactory is no more autogenerated in magento 2.1.x so to resolve this, add the following in your vendor/magento/module-vault/etc/di.xml file in between line 10-15:
<preference for="Magento\Vault\Api\Data\PaymentTokenInterfaceFactory" type="Magento\Vault\Model\AccountPaymentTokenFactory"/>

Then flush the cache and check if it still exists. That's how I resolved my error.

A: I recommend starting with Steven's solution,  When did this problem being to occur,  were there any major changes made?

A: This issue is almost always due to a
Memory issue. Try increasing the memory limit, an also enable cache in the admin config.
This usually happens on the cart and checkout if the system doesn't have enough ram
Allocated.
Depending on your setup you can modify this inside the htaccess file or inside php.ini

A: Check if the php mcrypt module is installed and activated

A: I recommend you to check your PHP version.

Macron and Biden Tackle Europe's Energy Crisis
On the day that the baguette was added to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage" list, French President Emmanuel Macron was regaling hundreds of his country's expatriates packed into a cavernous room at the French Embassy in Washington. After praising the know-how that had been passed down from one generation of bakers to the next "from the depths of centuries," he said the French touch wasn't solely found in the boulangerie but in other business sectors that he planned to highlight during France's state visit to the United States last week—notably, nuclear and renewable energy, information technology, and space exploration. Macron had come to Washington bearing a clear message: Buy French.
To be sure, his state visit, the first of the Biden administration, wasn't solely mercantile. The French president spoke of the need for greater "strategic intimacy" between the two nations, a term he employed to encompass closer ties in both commerce and defense. He pinned medals on World War II veterans and announced a program to expand French language instruction in the United States.
But there are intimacy issues. Throughout the trip, the French delegation spoke with an exasperated murmur about what it described as unfair trans-Atlantic economic competition. French diplomats stressed the need to tighten the relationship between democratic allies and reduce their mutual economic dependencies on China and Russia. After three years of struggles stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's war in Ukraine, and the resulting energy and cost of living crises, "there is basically a risk that Europe will come out weakened by all this, which is, to my knowledge, not in the American interest," said a member of Macron's entourage, who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with diplomatic practice, on the eve of Macron's meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.
"We have the means to remain competitive," he added. "But nevertheless, we do not expect our American partners to complicate the task."
The crux of French complaints is a package of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act meant to promote American-made clean energy products. The French view these tax credits as potentially harmful to their own businesses, and if they aren't satisfied with the implementation, then they might take their complaints to the World Trade Organization. Europeans subsidize clean energy production, but the American package is larger and swifter because tax credits take effect immediately. Macron alluded to the need to "resynchronize" American and European policies in an interview with Good Morning America during his state visit.
The French diplomatic source said this legislation didn't rise to the level of the "betrayal" that occurred with the so-called AUKUS security pact last year, which led to Australia canceling a major contract to purchase French submarines. Relations, then tense, have since thawed as the war in Ukraine revealed more mutual dependencies than points of competition.
Indeed, Biden and Macron went out of their way to demonstrate public displays of affection. The French president routinely prefaced his remarks with "dear Joe." As they entered the Oval Office together, a reporter asked Biden why he had chosen Macron as his first state visit. Biden responded simply: "Because he's my friend."
But Paris worries that the new clean energy tax credits might redirect some of the substantial investment capital flows across the Atlantic Ocean. The United States has long been the largest foreign investor in France, and the French worry that if the United States has more attractive incentives for clean energy products, then some of those billions of dollars may reverse course.
The United States and the European Union have established a high-level task force to explore the issue of how to harmonize their incentives for clean energy products. Biden summed up the goal as making sure that "we are our own supply chain, and we share that with Europe and all of our allies."
Biden and Macron appear to have done what many successful couples must do: compromise. The two discussed the war in Ukraine extensively during their Oval Office meeting. Biden said afterward that he had "no immediate plans to contact Mr. [Vladimir] Putin," but he might speak with him if the Russian president decides "he's looking for a way to end the war." Macron, by contrast, has been in frequent contact with the Putin since Russia's invasion in February.
Another high-ranking official in the French delegation described the Oval Office meeting between the presidents and their senior advisors as a frank conversation among friends despite rumblings of discontent over trade issues.
"We have exactly the same ambition to accelerate the decarbonization of our economy and, secondly, to be more independent from China in terms of the production of strategic components," he said. "You have to know who your allies are and who are your competitors. We have all understood that we want to be independent of China and also Russia. And consequently, it's better to stick together than to shoot ourselves in the foot."
The French president traveled with an entourage of dignitaries, including his cabinet ministers for finance, foreign affairs, defense, culture, and higher education and research, who held working lunches and late-night meetings with their counterparts in Washington. In between ceremonies filled with 21-gun salutes and renditions of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, Macron took an active part in meetings to discuss deepening cooperation on civil nuclear energy and space exploration.
From Washington, the French delegation went to Louisiana, the heart of energy country, where there are some of the biggest terminals for the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Since the onset of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine in February, pricier LNG has replaced much of Europe's cheaper Russian natural gas imports. The French gripe that skyrocketing energy prices put their businesses—from car manufactures to bakers of the famous baguette—at a competitive disadvantage.
It was clear that the price of U.S. LNG was going to be on the table when the two presidents met. But U.S. officials bristled at the suggestion that U.S. energy exporters are "profiteering" from Europe's newfound need for gas. "I'll just be blunt. We believe that's a false claim," said John Kirby, the top spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council. "What we're hearing from our European partners is that these LNG sales have helped shore up their stocks coming into winter." One long-standing problem with U.S. energy exports, especially to Europe, is confusion over what kind of say Washington has over what cargos go where and at what price. Kirby explained that private companies used existing contracts with European companies "who decide for themselves what they're going to sell it at."
French presidents invariably admire Brig. Gen. Charles de Gaulle, so it was no surprise when Macron concluded his visit by mingling with crowds in the narrow streets of New Orleans's French Quarter, as de Gaulle had done more than 60 years ago.
But de Gaulle never wavered from his conviction that France should keep America at arm's length, and even the France of late has been calling for Europe to assert more autonomy from U.S. dominance in global finance and defense. Recent global challenges, however, appear to have settled Macron's mind firmly—not keeping Washington at arm's length but embracing even greater intimacy.
