Alaska's bald eagles truly have a bird's eye view of some of the most stunning scenery in the United States, including the famous Mendenhall Glacier. Fortunately, you don't have to be a bird to share their aerial advantage. A helicopter tour is a must do and the best way to see the glaciers and icy waters of this popular place.

"Hi Marty! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for all that you did for our family/friends cruise on Royal Carribbean's Legend of the Seas. My family loves the RCCL line....and as concerned as I was that we had little ones coming on this vacation, I was SO impressed with the Ocean Adventure's Club. My two little ones wanted to be there all the time. I now have no reservations about bringing them on another RCCL cruise, the staff is just fabulous! When I originally started to research cruises and Travel Agents to help with the process, I was overwhelmed (Let's face it, sometimes the internet can be a good thing and sometimes it can be a bad thing). I am so happy that I can across your website. I sure didn't expect the response that I received from our family and friends when I started planning the cruise, and you were there every step of the way putting up with my cabin changes, adding new guests at the last moment, and removing guests in some cases, too! You were amazing and I know for a fact that you are responsible for our worry-free and amazing journey through the Caribbean. Everyone that joined us on the cruise was extremely impressed at how well the whole thing fell together with little trouble on their parts. Again I can not thank you enough, and don't forget that we will be planning another one !. Explore Family Cruises "

*The shore excursions featured at this website are sold by the Shore Excursions Group, or Shoretrips.

Travel Direct Corporation is not responsible for the sales or merchantability of these travel suppliers.
Did you know travel insurance companies have the right to look back into a traveler's medical history up to the defined period of time stated in their policy to determine whether an incident is related to a pre-existing condition. Most consider a pre-existing condition to be a diagnosed illness or medical concern that has not been "stable" within a defined period (typically 60-180 days) prior to the consumer purchasing insurance. Generally, "stable" means the condition has not changed or worsened in any way; no new diagnoses, treatments, medications were prescribed; and no pending or initiated treatments, scans or test results were planned. Each policy is different, so you must call the insurance provider yourself, not just reading the details online and discuss your specific situation. Otherwise you may find your claim rejected, if it does not fall within the conditions of the policy.
Most third-party insurance companies stipulate that you must buy your travel insurance policy within 10-14 days of making your initial deposit on your trip in order to be eligible for the pre-existing conditions waiver, so benefits will be paid without looking into the traveler's medical background if a claim is made. In some cases, waivers require no additional paperwork and no additional fees, but in others a fee will apply.

NetEase Games Acquires Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture
Grasshopper Manufacture Inc., the studio behind the No More Heroes series headed by Goichi Suda aka Suda51, has been acquired by NetEase Games.
This acquisition comes as NetEase continues its growth by way of acquisitions and partnerships, with the company obtaining a minority stake in Quantic Dream, a stake in Bungie, and more, over the past few years. Grasshopper Manufacture is the latest to join NetEase's lineup.
"As we all know, NetEase Games has developed many excellent games in the past, and I have long been aware of NetEase's creative capabilities," Suda said in a press release about the announcement. "When talking with NetEase about 'developing more unique console games together,' we resonated. After a lot of thoughts, we've unanimously decided to 'get together' in the long term through deeper cooperation to create more good content for gamers."
Suda said NetEase understands the strengths of Grasshopper Manufacture and is willing to support the studio in an "extremely reliable" way. He also said NetEase will be primarily responsible for advising Grasshopper Manufacture on the studio's business planning and funding for game development.
"We will be responsible for the creativity and production of games to ensure that we are able to continue to maintain the consistent 'Grasshopper Manufacture flavor' and game quality for which we are known," Suda writes. "In addition, we will also receive strong support from the NetEase team composed of thousands of artists and technical experts in terms of game art and quality assurance."
Grasshopper Manufacture has been with GungHo Online Entertainment since 2013, but moving forward, Grasshopper Manufacture's home will be NetEase.
For more about the studio, check out our thoughts on its latest game in Game Informer's No More Heroes 3 review. Read about whether or not we think No More Heroes 3 is worth playing after that.

The weird thing is when i turn on the laptop using the LCD panel screen on it, it will run for about 5mins then crash with an error, trying to restart it just keeps flinging up errors as soon as you get into windows. But on plugging in the external monitor the laptop has not crashed yet.
I thought it was ram at first but surely pluggin in a different screen shouldnt affect that. Also no hardward has been changed,its all standard. Any ideas?


The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Coastal Flood Warning, which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to 2 AM EDT Friday. The Coastal Flood Advisory is no longer in effect.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...One to two feet of saltwater inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. At this level, widespread flooding of roadways is expected with many roads becoming impassable. Lives may be at risk when people put themselves in harm's way. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. In Middlesex County, minor road flooding is possible in Woodbridge Township, Perth Amboy, Old Bridge Township, and South Amboy.
A Coastal Flood Warning means that moderate or major tidal flooding is occurring or imminent. Be prepared for rising water levels and take appropriate action to protect life and property. Follow the recommendations of local emergency management officials. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to costly repairs. Visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at water.weather.gov/ahps for additional water level and flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

A man, charged with attempting to murder his elder brother, has had his charge reduced by Justice Sunil Sharma of the High Court in Lautoka.
He is now charged with act with intent to cause grievous harm.
Accused Vimlesh Goundar is represented by Iqbal Khan and Tevita Kaloulasulasu while the State is represented by Alvin Singh from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
The alleged incident occurred on June 9, 2017.
The court heard that the day before, the complainant, Nilesh Goundar had gone to Malaqereqere to attend the wedding of his employer's son with his brother.
The complainant left at about 11.30pm, five minutes before the accused.
He was dropped off at the Uluisila Junction and before he reached his house, a sound made him turn around and was allegedly hit with an iron rod on his neck.
The complainant allegedly punched the attacker and was allegedly hit from the back with a knife.
While on the ground, the complainant was allegedly struck several times on the head with a knife.
He was taken to Sigatoka Hospital and then transferred to the Lautoka Hospital.
The accused had said he saw two strangers jumping out of the drain at the place of the incident and ran away.
He denied the offence.
Justice Sharma said: "In my judgment the inconsistencies that came out during the cross examination of this witness did not shake the basic version of this witness evidence.
"I do not accept that the accused was assaulted or forced by the Police to confess.
"I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was present at the scene of the crime during the early hours of June 9, 2017 and he was the one that assaulted the complainant with an iron rod."
The sentence is on Friday.

This powerful antioxidant strengthens capillaries, arteries, veins and the walls of blood vessels, including those that supply the heart, and reduces swelling of the lower extremities….
Pycnogenol is the region's natural product from the bark of the European coastal pine, Pinus Martima. It is the most powerful antioxidant today and acts as protection against various toxins. Studies have shown that Pycnogenol is 50 times more effective than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C.
The study shows that Pycnogenol is rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the body, in only 20 minutes. Pycnogenol also activates vitamin C before leaving the body.
Pycnogenol is used in France, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, Argentina and Switzerland, and recently sold in the United States.
Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. Many experts believe that the damage that is made by the free radicals is an important factor for the development of atherosclerosis, various cancers, of heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and many other chronic diseases.
Therefore, antioxidants are indispensable in protecting the body from these diseases. There is a theory that free radicals are responsible for aging, therefore, antioxidants should slow down aging.
When you cut a piece of apple, after a short time it will begin to darken on the surface. It happens because of the normal process of oxidation, which occurs in all cells in nature, including those in our body.
When oxygen comes into contact with the cells, it causes a change in them. Some may die, and new ones may appear in their place. It is normal and not a problem.
But during this process, cells are damaged and turned into free radicals. "Free radicals" is a term which describes the damaged cells that may be problematic and a threat to the health.
They are called free because they lack important molecule and try to "steal" that molecule from other cells.
When free radicals attack, they don't kill other cells to win over the molecule that's missing, but instead they hurt them, damaging DNA and thus creating a breeding ground for diseases. The worst is that a free radical damages not only a cell but creates a chain reaction.
Antioxidants prevent the chain reaction which is started by the free radicals. Various antioxidants act differently. Some prevent the appearance of free radicals, prevent other occurrence of a chain reaction, and others stop the reaction once it appears.
However, as a result of the normal functioning of cells, a small percentage of free radicals is created, and often, they don't represent a major problem, since they are controlled by the antioxidants that our body produces naturally.
A major threat to our health are free radicals from cigarette smoke, air pollution or consumption of large amounts of alcohol. Free radicals break down collagen in joints, skin and organs. They are programmed DNA and the reasons are more than 60 known diseases.
In addition, aging, inflammation of muscles, joints and other tissues, and proper functioning of the circulatory system, nervous system and immune system are all due to the damage caused by free radicals.
Soon we will publish some natural remedies and detox drink recipes where is used completely natural pine bark extract.

If not then I think I will get this config if it is a lot faster (can someone help me in regards to difference I would notice between the two drives). The space is not much of an issue with me as I have an External drive already which I make use of.
25% extra money for <10% speed is not worth it to me. A few have said the extra memory on the 8600 won't make a difference because it is a mid-range card.
I am an engineering student. So I will be using it for matlab and also programming too. I will also like to play games on it and begin to edit some photos of mine too.
Do you have any info on the Hard Drive speeds? Could the combination of increased hard drive speed (with the 7200RPM), 6mb L2 Cache and 256mb more VRAM produce more value that the 2.4?
the 7200 rpm hd is bto on both right?
First off, congrats on the decision to switch.
If you're on a budget, I say use the money saved on the entry model to up the RAM and get the faster drive. It will serve you just fine!
Yes. I was just unsure as to whether I should sacrifice the hard drive space for the speed of the 200gb 7200RPM drive. I was also worried about whether this will generate more heat than the 5400RPM drive. Can anyone clarify this matter for me?
I think I am going to go for the 2.4ghz model and upgrade to the 200gb 7200RPM drive for the extra $90 and then buy 4gb of ram from either OWC, NewEgg or Crucial.
I think I will also use the money I will save by buying some security such as a Kensington lock and Orbicule Undercover.
If I go to a store can I configure BTO options (such as the hard drive). Am I able to order it at the store (as opposed to online) and then pick it up when they get it delivered?
MATLAB hogs memory like mad, so if you're using it for serious work (i.e., large matrices), those extra 2G would come in handy.
Yeh, no matter what I do regarding configuration, I am going to buy some 3rd party RAM.
However, I have just found out (from chatting to an Online Store Rep) that I am unable to go to my local store and get them to order me a MBP with the BTO option of the 7200RPM hard drive.

Weekends are usually my time act like a bum, water my one plant and watch movies from the past few years that I never went to go see. This weekend I watched The Art Of Getting By with Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore.
The Art Of Getting By turned out to be decent. I mean, it filled it's purpose of giving me 2 hours of drinking tea and being lazy. Then it made me miss New York. So I started eating chocolate. Which was not the purpose of movie time at all.
Overall, my favorite parts had to be the semi-deep indie-like quotes that appeared sporadically throughout the film. Two of the said indie quotes that I enjoyed were "You can't call yourself a painter if you don't paint" and "As long as it's honest and fearless." I'm a total sucker for things like that.
Jury says: see it if you can find it for cheap (or free but you didn't hear it from me) but don't go out of your way to go find it unless you have a weird obsession with Emma Roberts. Personally, I still see her as Addie singer from Unfabulous singing her little theme song and fake playing the guitar.


Our nearby frozen lakes and ponds, where Rainbow and Brook Trout of a good size can be found in abundance, are an invitation to go ice fishing... our guide schools graduates took a trip out to the ice for some winter fun.
The whole crew of former guide schools students went ice fishing yesterday after lunch and stayed out until dusk.
After recent temperatures of -25 C°, the ice was much thicker than we expected, and it certainly took some effort and strong team-up energy to drill 5 holes in two feet of ice!
Johanna who took our wilderness guide schools was the first one to get a fish within 5 minutes! The ranch enables you to work in many different areas and learn as much as you want!
As the afternoon was reaching an end, we built a big fire on the frozen pond, cooked smokies and grilled one of our fresh fish, no spices, nothing, delicious...!

Getting a loan from a friend or a family member does not depend on your credit score. All you need to do is convince him/her that you are in dire need of their support and that you'll finally repay. However, such a loan may put an important relationship at a high risk if the loan is not paid or agreement not adhered to. Only ask your friend or family member to help you if you are sure you'll pay promptly.
Having existed since 2005, these loans are a great option for those who have had a dark credit past. With this option, you can get loans online from any peer to peer lending site you are comfortable with. Such sites include Peerform, Lending Club, Prosper and several others.The sites will help you obtain loan from individual lenders who do no mind your credit score unlike banks.
Though they also depend on your credit score, credit unions can easily lend you money as compared to banks. Their standards are a little bit relaxed. You eligibility to join such unions could be as simple as just residing in a given location. If you are not a member to one, join those operating in your area.
If you own a home and have equity, you might consider borrowing a loan popularly known as a HELOC ( home equity line of credit). Going for this option means you are putting your home as a collateral and makes it easy for you to get a loan with your poor credit score. However, interest rates on this line of credit tend to run higher compared to other lines.
With this, you simply get a friend or a family member with a better credit score and borrow a loan by having him/her co-sign for the borrowing. If you fail to pay, the person you co-signed with is expected by the lender to settle the debt. However, if you both default, credit scores of either party will suffer.
Getting a loan with a bad credit score is possible. These are the top five options you can consider if you have issues or low credit score. However, try as much as possible to up your score and pay your debts timely to avoid credit issues.


Many of us believed that "mammograms saved lives" and that "early detection" was the key to eliminating breast cancer. Recent studies have proven this not to be true. And, in fact the studies show that 1 life will be saved for every 2,000 women screened and 8-10 women will be harmed.
Studies have also shown that mammograms do not result in any survival benefit and can instead lead to unnecessary tests, over diagnosis and over treatment. This is because they often find precancers that may not need treatment. From a February 12, 2014, NY Times article: Vast Study Casts Doubts on Value of Mammograms.
Plus a 2015 JAMA article by Dr. Steven Narod found the breast cancer–specific mortality was 3.3% at 20 years for a DCIS diagnosis whether the DCIS was treated or not, regardless of the type of treatment used.
Then too over the years, the cumulative radiation from mammograms may cause DNA damage and increase a woman's chance of getting breast caner. An additional worry is that the compression of a mammogram may actually cause any tumor present to spread.
Better alternatives to excessive mammograms may be some combination of monthly self exams, yearly clinical exams, thermograms, ultrasounds and MRIs, depending on the age of the woman, her risk levels and the density of her breasts.

Nightwood Theatre produced the Toronto premiere of Crave, the work of Britain's renegade playwright Sarah Kane. Sarah Kane is considered one of the most important and exciting playwrights to emerge in Britain in the final decades of the last millennium. Her work is discussed along side such legends as Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter and Caryl Churchill. Kane struggled with depression for much of her adult life but continued to work but tragically, after repeated suicide attempts, she hanged herself in 1999. She left a legacy of five plays including Crave – each a new investigation of form and theatrical extremes. Her canon of work continues to be translated and performed across the world – at one point in 2003, there were 17 simultaneous productions of her plays in Germany alone.
Crave presents four characters, or perhaps four aspects of human nature, set in an unnamed city. Two men and two women, each only having a letter for a name, are linked through various relationships. The ferocity of craving someone, or something, is palpable in this intriguing inter-textual work. Sarah Kane paints four portraits of the turbulence of the human heart as these four individuals negotiate the pressures of love, loss and desire.


Your Baby - You will feel very excited when you feel the baby move during this month. Some women don't feel movement until the fifth month of pregnancy. This movement may feel like fluttering at first. It is called "quickening". He moves, swallows and can hear your voice. Your baby is approximately 7 inches long and weighs around 5 ounces.
Your Body - You are beginning your second trimester of pregnancy. If you haven't already, you may be craving certain foods. Hunger is another one of the symptoms of pregnancy. But although you're eating for two, you do not need to eat twice as much! You should eat a little more than usual. You should begin to gain a few pounds this month.

Another Top Ten (that has nothing to do with the store)
I like Top Ten lists... and I like sharing my opinions on completely arbitrary things.
Tonight's topic???
Sad songs.
I believe it was Charlie Brown who said "Happiness is a sad song," and I subscribe to this camp. There is nothing so exquisite as the melancholy "Boo Hoo" of a sad and haunting tune.
10. "Lost Cause" by Beck, on the album "Sea Change." Beck is of course known for more bee-boppy electronica, but this whole album is a melange of musical moroseness after a breakup with his girlfriend of nine years. Best lyric: leave you here/ wearing your wounds/ wave your guns/ at somebody new.
9. "Love is a Losing Game" by Amy Winehouse from the album "Back to Black." Amy's personal life is a lesson in irony. "Losing Game" is how EVERYBODY feels at least once in there lives: the quintissential doo-wop heartbreak. Best lyric: self professed profound/till the chips were down/ know you're a gambling man/ love is a losing hand.
8. "So Cruel" by U2, from the album "Achtung, Baby." This song was written about the Edge's breakup with his ex-wife, the former Mrs. The Edge. Bono wails and weeps and moans but my one complaint is that there isn't enough of Edge's creepy, soothing falsetto. Bono gets all the glory, and don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, but I am most definitely an "Edge" gal. Best lyric: the men who love you, you hate the most/ they pass right through you like a ghost.
7. "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, but performed by Rufus Wainright, from the "Shrek" soundtrack. Sooo sad, this one. I know some people prefer the Jeff Buckley version, but for me, Rufus sounds just like I imagine angels sound like. Rufus does pathetic so well, it's ridiculous. Best lyric: maybe there's a God above/ but all I ever learned from love/ was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
6. "Burn" by Ray Lamontagne, from the album "Trouble." Oh, Ray. What are we going to do with you? You're a tortured soul, indeed, AND you're a native son from Maine. What's not to like? There are sooo many sad songs to pick from his repertoire, and if you've ever seen him perform live you probably knew you were in the presence of greatness. I picked "Burn" because it's so raw. Like sushi in sad song form. Best lyric: oh, so kiss him again/ just to prove to me that you can/ and I will stand here and burn in my skin.
5. "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen, performed acoustically by Pete Yorn, from the B-Sides to the album "Music for the Morning After." Don't laugh. If you wrote down the lyrics to this song and could erase the tune from your mind to just focus on the words you would see how very sad this song is. Pete Yorn's version is so lonely and frustrated and haunting. If you've ever seen the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's," where she describes what it's like to have the "Mean Reds," THAT is what I think of when I hear this version of "Dancing in the Dark." Best lyric: I ain't nothing but tired/ and I'm just tired and bored with myself/hey baby I could use just a little help.
4. "Another One Goes By," by The Walkmen, from the album "A Hundred Miles Off." Sounds like Dylan, but no, it's Hamilton Leithauser from the Walkmen, I assure you. The guy in this song totally needs a hug. Best lyric: sometimes when I walk outside I see it standing right in front of me/ silhouette of something sweet and so bright.
3. "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," by Jack Johnson, from the album "In Between Dreams." Jack Johnson usually writes happy stuff, but this one is sad and frustrated and lovely. Jack, I didn't know you had it in you, but good job. Mahalo! Best lyric: keep playing your part/ but it's not my scene/ want this plot to twist/ I've had enough mystery.
2. "My Sexual Life," by Everclear, from the album "Sparkle and Fade." This song's title is a little misleading, but the lyrics are the most desperate I've ever heard. I just like them, what can I say? For me, they hit the spot and make me eversad. Best lyric: you always say you want a simple life/ you and me both know that you are a liar/ you always say you want a simple life/ hey, hearing you talk just makes me tired.
which brings us to the number one sad song in Rhea's little list of lonely:
1. "Aint No Love," by David Gray, from the album "Life in Slow Motion." David Gray was put on this planet to make gorgeous, haunting music and hands down, my favorite song of his is this little gem from his latest album. His voice is like an instrument and it's infused with emotion like a good cup of tea. I want David Gray to sit outside my window in a giant birdcage so he can sing this for me whenever I want to have a good cry. It's a short song, sweet and low, and I'll be the first one to confess that I have absolutely NO idea what it's about. Maybe that's why I like it, though: It's so open to interpretation. This song has it all: the chilly, poetic lyrics and the howl of David's voice that is at once soothing and arresting. The whole song is so short and deliberate, it could be a nursery rhyme. But do yourself a favor and don't EVER watch a David Gray video: I don't know who's responsible for those things, but they are consistently HIDEOUS. Best lyric: give me your ecstasy I'll feel it/ open window and I'll steal it/ baby like it's heaven sent
So, this is the mood I'm in tonight: enjoying the sad songs. What does that mean about me? I dunno. I'm sure there are some excellent songs out there that got left off the list. How about you: what are your favorite sad songs???
Alright, must go and cry myself to sleep now...
Just Kidding!!!
Good list! I want a "Rhea Mix" sometime. Would that be possible? :)
What about The River by Springsteen. Yowza
(I'd like that mix too)
Rhea Butler said...
I'll totally hook you up: the "extended version" even...
Liz, you get the mix three times!!!
Totally Fire and Rain by James Taylor. I can't hear that song without sobbing now.
So far, so good...

Liverpool boss responds to reports of Stoke City interest in Danny Ings
Newcastle, West Brom and West Ham also said to be keen on taking striker on loan in January
Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool's interests must come first as he prepares to field bids to take Danny Ings next month.
Stoke City are one of a cluster of Premier League clubs who have been linked with a loan move for the 25-year-old striker, who is back fit following two serious knee injuries that have kept him out for the best part of two years.
West Ham, West Brom and Newcastle United are all apparently also keeping tabs on the former Burnley front man, who has been rebuilding his sharpness for Liverpool under-23s this season and has made two Premier League sub outings.
Mark Hughes doesn't dismiss Stoke City link with Liverpool striker

Ings has struggled to get into the front line at Anfield but Klopp says he does not want to leave himself short if something should happen to one or more of his four free-scoring main forwards.
He said: "The first thing we have to make sure is that we have the squad we need for the second half of the season.
"We have a good situation so far and all the rest but we will see. The club's interest is first, 100 per cent, and we have to make sure we have enough players for different situations.

Stoke City transfer gossip: Danny Ings scouting report as Stoke, Newcastle, West Ham and West Brom linked
"We have to think about the player and the club ideally. If everyone agrees then it's perfect, if not then the club needs to come first. That's how it is.
"We'll see what happens. There is nothing decided so far. There's interest, of course, in players of ours but if we agree or not… there's no decision so far."
Mark Hughes was coy when he was quizzed on Ings this morning.
"I think there's conversations about a lot of players," he said.
"Some will be in regard to taking players on a permanent deal and there's always loan deals that can be done.
"We are well aware of who's available and who might become available, but nothing is definite as yet.

Haruta Shiota's K: Return of Kings Manga Ends in February
posted on 2017-01-20 15:15 EST by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Series based on TV anime launched in October 2015
The February issue of Square Enix 's G Fantasy magazine revealed on Wednesday that Haruto Shiota is ending his manga adaptation of the K: Return of Kings television anime in the magazine's next issue on February 18.
Shiota launched the manga in October 2015. Square Enix published the manga's first compiled book volume last June.

Brookhaven scientists gain new insight into why fast charging reduces battery capacity
Posted August 7, 2014 by Charles Morris & filed under Newswire, The Tech.
Using a new method to track the electrochemical reactions in a battery, scientists at the DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory have gained new insight into why fast charging inhibits performance. The results, published in Nature Communications, could help battery makers to optimize materials for faster-charging batteries.
"Our work was focused on developing a method to track structural and electrochemical changes at the nanoscale as the battery material was charging," said Brookhaven physicist Jun Wang, who led the research. Her group was particularly interested in chemically mapping what happens in a lithium iron phosphate cathode as the battery charged. "We wanted to catch and monitor the phase transformation that takes place in the cathode as lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode."
Getting as many lithium ions as possible to move from cathode to anode through this process, known as delithiation, is the key to recharging a battery to its fullest capacity. Understanding the subtle details of why that doesn't always happen could lead to ways to improve battery performance.
The Brookhaven team used a combination of full-field, nanoscale-resolution transmission x-ray microscopy (TXM) and x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES). These x-rays produce both high-resolution images and spectroscopic data, revealing where lithium ions remain in the material, and where they've been removed, leaving only iron phosphate.
The scientists studied the delithiation reaction under two different charging scenarios -rapid and slow. At the fast charging rate, the images show that the transformation from lithiated to delithiated iron phosphate proceeds inhomogeneously. In some regions of the electrode, all the lithium ions are removed, leaving only iron phosphate behind, while particles in other areas show no change at all, retaining their lithium ions. Even in the "fully charged" state, some particles retain lithium, and the electrode's capacity is well below the maximum level.
"This is the first time anyone has been able to see that delithiation was happening differently at different spatial locations on an electrode under rapid charging conditions," Jun Wang said.
Slower charging, in contrast, results in homogeneous delithiation – lithium iron phosphate particles throughout the electrode gradually change over to pure iron phosphate – and the electrode has a higher capacity.

"People don't want to charge slowly. We want to know why fast charging gives lower capacity," said Jiajun Wang, the lead author of the paper. "Our results offer clues to explain why, and could give industry guidance to help them develop a future fast-charge/high-capacity battery."
For example, the phase transformation may happen more efficiently in some parts of the electrode than others due to inconsistencies in the physical structure or composition of the electrode. "So rather than focusing only on the battery materials' individual features, manufacturers might want to look at ways to prepare the electrode so that all parts of it are the same, so all particles can be involved in the reaction instead of just some," Wang said.

Multiple Studies Show Nearly HALF of All Police Families Experience Domestic Violence
February 9, 2019 in News by RBN Staff
Source: The Free Thought Project
Startling data from multiple studies show that police officer families experience domestic violence at four times the rate of everyone else.
Matt Agorist
Every time a football player or an NBA star makes headlines for domestic abuse, the country goes up in arms as news outlets talk about domestic violence among these industries. Because of this phenomenon, 69 percent of Americans think that there is widespread domestic violence in the NFL.
But the reality is that domestic violence among NFL players is well below the national average, coming in at just five percent. On the contrary, however, every time a police officer—someone who has sworn an oath to uphold the constitution and the law—beats their significant other, it barely registers as a blip in the media. This is in spite of some incredibly disturbing numbers when it comes to domestic violence among police.
The average rate of families who experience domestic violence in the country is around 10 percent. When we look at police officers families, however, that number quadruples. As the National Center for Women and Policing points out, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence.
The most recent data on the matter shows that Officer-Involved Domestic Violence or OIDV, is a major problem.
Individuals who are the victims of domestic violence at the hands of police officer-batterers are often in a unique and particularly vulnerable situation. Unlike most victims of domestic violence, where the success of protective efforts depends on the cooperation of law enforcement, those subject to officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) may, for a variety of reasons, be unable to secure the assistance they seek. This is particularly troublesome in light of increased rates of domestic violence in police officer families.
Even more startling than the fact that 40% of police officer families experiencing domestic violence is the fact that this number is likely far higher as it is estimated that much of it goes unreported.
According to Leigh Goodmark, author of Hands Up at Home: Militarized Masculinity and Police Officers Who Commit Intimate Partner,
The data on intimate partner abuse by police officers are both dated and potentially flawed, but in ways that make it more likely that abuse is being under—rather than over—reported. Most of the studies rely on self-reporting by police officers to establish prevalence of abuse. Self-reporting is a notoriously unreliable measure; as one study noted, 'The issue of the reliability of self-reports data is problematic when considering any socially undesirable behavior.'
The problem of police violence often times comes out in full display in the form of violent murder suicides. In December, the nation was shocked to hear about the tragedy that unfolded in Plant City, Florida in which a Hillsborough County sheriff's deputy killed his wife, daughter and granddaughter, then confessed to their murders over his agency radio before killing himself.
Terry L. Strawn, 58, a Sheriff's Office veteran who was once named Officer of the Year was the perpetrator. It is unclear how much abuse his family suffered before he made the ultimate decision to murder them.
In less serious cases, police have been seen beating their wives or girlfriends—in public, while in uniform.
As TFTP reported last year, officer Ian Ray and his girlfriend attended McGavock Elementary School for a child's graduation when the two got into a verbal argument during the ceremony.
Ray was in uniform at the time and multiple witnesses reported seeing a police officer grab his girlfriend around the neck or hair and brutalize her. During the altercation, witnesses called police who showed up and then arrested the officer.
In that case, the officer was arrested. Sadly, however, many of these abusive cops are protected by their own departments and when an abused spouse or girlfriend attempts to get help, they are ignored and the abuser protected.
As TFTP has previously noted, a report by a government-appointed watchdog group shows that most of the time, the abusive officers commit these crimes with seeming impunity.
A study conducted by the Domestic Violence Task Force called Domestic Violence in the Los Angeles Police Department: How Well Does the Los Angeles Police Department Police Its Own? revealed that performance evaluations of cops with a history of domestic violence are largely unaffected. The study of the LAPD examined 91 cases in which an allegation of domestic violence was sustained against an officer.
Over three-fourths of the time, this sustained allegation was not mentioned in the officer's performance evaluation.
Twenty-six of these officers (29%) were promoted, including six who were promoted within two years of the incident.
The report concluded that "employees with sustained allegations were neither barred from moving to desired positions nor transferred out of assignments that were inconsistent with the sustained allegation."
Sadly, it is estimated that many of the abused women never come forward as they know the likely result — which is getting shamed by the department for reporting it and potentially more abuse.
Diane Wetendorf, a specialist on police abuse, points out the most common fears when reporting police domestic abuse in her handbook:
If your abuser is an officer of the law, you may be afraid to:
Call the police — He is the police.
Go to a shelter — He knows where the shelters are located.
Have him arrested — Responding officers may invoke the code of silence.
Take him to court — It's your word against that of an officer, and he knows the system.
Drop the charges — You could lose any future credibility and protection.
Seek a conviction — He will probably lose his job and retaliate against you.
These fears can make someone feel incredibly trapped and feel like there is no way out.
If you or someone you know is a victim of this type of abuse we encourage you to no longer remain silent. As long as people go unpunished for their abuse, they will continue to dole it out.

The all-out war on First Amendment
Exclusive: Joseph Farah reveals Obama's ultimate goal on free speech
By Joseph Farah
Published January 26, 2014 at 11:18pm
Bestselling author and scholar Dinesh D'Souza, whose "2016: Obama's America," was one of the biggest documentary movie hits of its kind, was indicted last week on felony campaign finance violation charges that could see him imprisoned him for up to seven years. He was arraigned on $500,000 bail and Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department prosecutors made sure to collect his passport to prevent him from fleeing the country.
Friends of Abe, a group of conservative Hollywood figures that applied for nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, has seen its application held up for two years while Internal Revenue Service officials demand, among other things, a list of the group's members, who would prefer their identities not be made public for fear of losing work. In fact, one of the key reasons for the group's existence is to provide peer support for political dissidents who have face a serious threat of blacklisting in Hollywood.
Last year, Holder's Justice Department shocked the media establishment by monitoring the phone records of reporters at the Associated Press and Fox News in a heavy-handed, jackbooted effort to identify leakers of classified documents within Barack Obama's own administration.
Last fall, in a pre-dawn raid conducted by agents of the Coast Guard, Homeland Security and Maryland State Police in full body armor, the Obama administration invaded the home of Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson in search of illegal firearms. During the raid, one office asked Hudson if she was the reporter had written a series of stories critical of the Federal Air Marshal program. Hudson acknowledged she was. "Those stories were embarrassing to the agency," the officer said ominously.
The IRS has admitted targeting tea party and other conservative groups based on their political ideology. But it makes no apologies for doing so. In fact, the IRS is pushing new regulatory procedures that would essentially make the practice of political targeting legal – by establishing one standard for unions and liberal 501(c)4 groups and another tougher standard for tea party and conservative organizations.
It's only a partial list of shocking anti-First Amendment actions by the Obama administration over the last year. Yet, the press establishment that makes its living under the protection of the First Amendment sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil.
Perhaps that's the safest, if least courageous, course in times like these.
Some defenders of the Obama administration question whether this represents more than a circumstantial case of abuse of free speech, freedom of the press and the right to dissent.
That's really the wrong question. A better question is: Do these developments measure up to the anti-First Amendment rhetoric of the Obama administration and its hand-picked officials in key agencies? And the answer to that question is most definitely "yes."
Obama swept into office in 2009 with the intent of promoting policies designed to destroy the one media form dominated by conservatives – talk radio.
The key appointment was Mark Lloyd as the chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission. Since that one appointment, there should be no doubt about Obama's intentions with regard to limiting the free expression of his critics and political adversaries. All you need to do is consider Lloyd's own rhetoric:
"It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies. [T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance."
He hailed Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez for his "incredible ... democratic revolution." Lloyd expressed admiration for the way Chavez attempted to shut down opposition media in Venezuela.
"What we're really saying is that the Fairness Doctrine's not enough," Lloyd says. "And that having a sort of over-arching rule that says broadcasters ought to be 'fair' or ought to provide issues important to communities and that they ought to do it in a fair and balanced way is simply not enough – unless you put some teeth into that and put some hard, structural rules in place that are going to result in fairness."
One of Lloyd's ideas for doing that is by getting rid of white people in positions of authority in FCC-regulated media: "This ... there's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem. We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power."
Lloyd also has proposed that private broadcasters pay an annual licensing fee in an amount equivalent to their total yearly operating costs to a fund that would be redistributed to public broadcasting stations – i.e. state-run media.
In a report he co-authored just two years before being named as the diversity czar in the Obama FCC, Lloyd made no bones about the fact that his goal is reducing the disparity in the audiences of conservative and liberal talkers.
His remedy? "Stations owned by racial or ethnic minorities are statistically less likely to air conservative hosts or shows, and [are] more likely to air progressive hosts or shows." Also, he says, "Stations controlled by owners who run just a single station [are] statistically less likely to air conservative talk and more likely to air progressive hosts or shows."
Naturally, with the ideological content outcome in mind, Lloyd is working overtime in his position to see more minority radio-station owners and more owners of single stations.
Suffice it to say, Lloyd is not exactly a First Amendment absolutist. He's more like a First Amendment abolitionist.
That Obama would appoint a man with these ideas to such a post should reveal his intentions about his intolerance free expression and diversity of opinion. Obama and his appointees care about one thing – retaining power at any cost. They have no use for critics. They have no use for dissent.
Therefore, Dinesh D'Souza is now officially an enemy of the state, and the IRS is demanding to see the names of all the cardholding conservatives in Hollywood.
I don't know any other way to say it: Obama has declared an all-out war on the First Amendment.
