Upcoming film "Gangnam 1970" moves its release date to January
Upcoming film Gangnam 1970 featuring Kim Raewon and Lee Minho is confirmed to have moved their premiere date to January 2015.
In a statement released by the production team on October 24th, it was confirmed that they have decided to move the release date from November of this year to January, to cater to the increasing audience for that month, which is normally the peak season for films.
The press review for Gangnam 1970 originally scheduled for October 28th was also moved to a later date.
The film, a product of famed director Yoo Ha, is about two men, played by Kim Raewon and Lee Minho, trying to overcome the socio-political hardships, along with political corruption, in Gangnam back in the 1970s.
Promotional posters for the film promoting its November release were released last week, creating anticipating for their local and international followers.

Millions of bees are dying off, with alarming consequences for our environment and our food supply.
We rely on bees to pollinate 71 of the 100 crops that provide 90% of most of the world's food. Imagine no almonds, fewer apples and strawberries, less alfalfa to feed dairy cows, and the list goes on.
What happens if the bees disappear? It's simple: No bees, no food.
Scientists point to several causes behind the problem, including global warming, habitat loss, parasites and a class of bee-killing insecticides known as neonicotinoids (or neonics).
When seeds are treated with neonics, the chemicals work their way into the pollen and nectar of the plants — which, of course, is bad news for bees and other pollinators. Worse, for the bees and for us, neonics are about 6,000 times more toxic to bees than DDT.
Right now, we're letting big agrichemical companies use more of the chemicals that are known to kill bees just as we're in the midst of an unsustainable die-off in bee populations. That has to change.
To save the bees we need to phase out and then ban the use of neonics and we need to ensure that they are not replaced with equally or more dangerous chemicals.
We're calling on the governor to ban neonic pesticides and save the bees
We have a great track-record on this issue. We worked to get Ashland, Eugene, Southern Oregon University, and University of Oregon to become Bee Friendly. We know when we demonstrate broad student support, we can protect our pollinators.
Last fall, we called on the governor to direct the Department of Agriculture to put neonics on the Restricted Use Pesticide list. In addition to collecting 4,000 petition signatures, we had restaurants join the Bee Friendly Food alliance and held a Bee Bash concert with nearly 200 attendees to get the media to pay attention. This term, we're headed to Salem to speak to our state leaders about taking action to bee heros.

Real-estate prices show steep fall in Greater Taipei area
By Crystal Hsu / Staff reporter
Real-estate prices dropped an average 4.1 percent across the nation last year, with homes in the greater Taipei area registering the steepest declines, Sinyi Realty Inc said in a report yesterday.
The nation's only listed broker's housing price index was 280.6 for the fourth quarter of last year, down 4.1 percent from 292.6 for the same period in 2014, led by corrections in the greater Taipei area — which had seen prices rise to the extent most people could not afford to buy a property, the report said.
In Taipei, home prices fell 6.9 percent, meaning houses valued at NT$20 million (US$593,032 at current exchange rates) in 2014 cost NT$1.38 million less last year, Sinyi researcher Tseng Chin-der (曾進德) said in the report.
The price decline came after government-imposed holding tax hikes and credit controls that have hit the market for expensive properties.
"The pace of the retreat is actually more than 10 percent in Taipei, if price levels are compared with mid-2014, and challenges the popularly held belief that houses in central locations hold prices more than those in suburban and outlying areas," Tseng said.
The housing index shrank 4.3 percent in New Taipei City and 5.5 percent in Taoyuan, the report indicated.
DIRE WARNING
Pundits had forecast price corrections of between 10 and 20 percent for houses in emerging districts of northern Taiwan due to oversupply and decreasing demand.
The forecasts might still turn out to be correct if price corrections extend to other parts of Taiwan, Tseng said.
For the time being, housing prices have remained stable in central and southern Taiwan, the report said.
The housing price index gained 2.3 percent in Hsinchu and increased 0.1 percent in Taichung, while the gauge picked up 1.9 percent in Kaohsiung, the report said.
Sinyi attributed the modest advance to relative affordability, but voiced concern over a price downturn in light of a sluggish rate of transactions.
All eyes will be on the spring sales season that starts in late March and runs through April, as many builders and developers opted to stay on the sidelines in the second half of last year to avoid political uncertainty, Tseng said.
"The upcoming sales season will show if they have recovered confidence now that the elections are over," the analyst said.

Large Squad for October — but No Space for Foden or Greenwood
Dom Smith October 1, 2020 October 3, 2020 Feature Articles
Three more exciting new faces have made it into the England senior squad for the first time. After lots of speculation he might feature following his scintillating start to the new season, Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has deserved this call-up, and then some. Joining the England U20 World Cup winner is Arsenal's fresh-faced left wingback Bukayo Saka, who turned 19 less than a month ago, as well as winger Harvey Barnes of Leicester City.
Their inclusion represents yet another small victory for the England youth setup and St George's Park as a project in particular. It seems every time Gareth Southgate names a new England squad, he includes fresh upcoming players yet to be tested at this level but who are nonetheless established Premier League names. This month, Calvert-Lewin, Saka and Barnes are the newcomers. 203 Premier League appearances and 72 England youth caps between them, all with an average age of just 21.
However, recalling the safe, tired and unimaginative football that the Three Lions played last month, perhaps it is the returning older players who England fans will be most pleased to see. Among them, Jordan Henderson's absence in the midfield against Iceland and Denmark was quite clearly felt. The same could be said for Harry Winks — also named in the original squad last month, also dropped out through injury as the week progressed, and also sorely missed as England failed to look fluid in central areas. Both are in.
Southgate has kept his word on Harry Maguire, calling on the Manchester United captain less than a month after he was found guilty of three charges while on a family holiday in Mykonos. The England boss said he would re-call the defender if he started the new campaign in solid form. His United teammate Marcus Rashford was also unable to link up with the squad last month but returns here to bolster England's already world-class wide attacking options.
That array of raw talent could have been even better, but Southgate has done as expected and left out youngsters Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden after their involvement in the Reykjavík hotel farce last time out. Lots to learn for them, although perhaps next month they'll be called upon. Punishments can only go on for so long.
The goalkeeper position has been a rather weak one during Southgate's reign, and in fact — it could be argued — ever since David Seaman retired. In Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope and Dean Henderson, though, England have three very capable shot-stoppers at their disposal. Surely this month will see either Pope, Henderson or both tested. Pickford is yet to let England down, but those two deserve a chance to rack up at least some minutes.
Here is your #ThreeLions squad for this month's triple-header! 👀
— England (@England) October 1, 2020
A chief reason why England's wing-play — usually so smooth and in sync — was so poor last month was that the 24-man squad included no left-backs. Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell were injured and unable to link up with the team. While Shaw wasn't picked this month, recent Chelsea signing Chilwell does return to St George's Park — his new competition for game-time: Arsenal's Saka.
On the opposite flank, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker are right-backs numbers one, two and three. Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who debuted in Copenhagen three weeks ago, is number four. Reece James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Aarons, Kyle Walker-Peters, Tariq Lamptey and James Justin are just six more examples of why this is England's most hotly contested position by quite some distance.
Besides the welcome return of Maguire, England's centre-backs remain unchanged from September, with Conor Coady, Tyrone Mings and Joe Gomez joining more seasoned internationals Michael Keane and Eric Dier. Central defence remains unsettled in terms of personnel, and beyond that in terms of formations, too. Whether England will play a back three or four at Euro 2020 next summer remains unclear.
With Henderson and Winks the two most trusted men in the centre of midfield, the berths alongside one or both of them remain largely up for grabs. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains side-lined with a knee injury, whilst past favourites of Southgate's in Ross Barkley and Dele Alli have been overlooked again. Mason Mount and James Ward-Prowse are included as attacking midfielders again, but another James — Maddison — will be disappointed that he must wait even longer to have a chance of adding to his solitary England cap.
Maddison has often been compared to Aston Villa's similarly talented versatile midfielder Jack Grealish, whose own England career got going thanks to a cameo appearance in Denmark last month. The Leicester man may have been omitted, but Grealish is back in the team. Maybe now Southgate will test him in the No 10 position that many feel he is destined to make his own.
And in the problem position of holding-midfield, Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice are this month's nominated pair.
International-standard defensive midfielders may be hard to come by, but wingers and forwards certainly aren't. Harry Kane's understudies only seem to improve these days; they're getting closer and closer to seriously challenging his right to wear the No 9 shirt. Tammy Abraham and Danny Ings didn't manage to overthrow the captain last month, but the addition of the bang-in-form Calvert-Lewin only enhances the quality of England's striking options.
The fact that Southgate sees Grealish not as a midfielder but as a winger is by now an almost universally heard soundbite. But the sheer level of his competition in the wing areas ought to worry the Villa captain. Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling and Rashford are three of the world's most valuable wide forwards, and their apprentice this month isn't Callum Hudson-Odoi or the currently estranged Greenwood but Leicester's Barnes. If the 22-year-old doesn't make it onto the pitch in any of October's three internationals, then he shouldn't feel downhearted. It takes quite something to dislodge any of the aforementioned trio from the starting line-up.
A 30-man squad for three fixtures may seem excessive, but a glance at the list of players who missed out this month drives home just how talented the England contingent currently are. This month they need to right the wrongs of September's underwhelming displays.

FC Cincinnati continues its May home stand on Saturday when they face Toronto FC II at Nippert Stadium. TFC II currently sits in last place in the Eastern Conference on seven points. The Canadian club was in action midweek, playing to a goalless draw with the Richmond Kickers.
FC Cincinnati dropped one place in the Eastern Conference due to midweek USL action and lands in seventh. Next weekend's opponent, the Rochester Rhinos, leapfrogged the Orange and Blue with a midweek win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Despite their poor record, Toronto FC II can be stout defensively. They have amassed five clean sheets over ten matches, including those against Rochester, Louisville City, Ottawa, Phoenix, and Richmond. Four of those five clean sheets have ended as 0-0 draws.
The Tampa Bay Rowdies are kryptonite for TFC II. Tampa has hung seven total goals on the Canadian club in two matches, and are largely responsible for TFC II's conference worst goal difference of -9.
After not registering a shot in his first match, FC Cincinnati forward Danni König had seven shots last game, five of which were on target (71%), with two goals (29%). Keep shooting Danni.
Saturday's match will be the first of three matches over eight days for FC Cincinnati. A US Open Cup showdown with Louisville City is up next on Wednesday, May 31st, followed by a road trip to Rochester. Watch this Saturday's starting eleven to see if Koch elects to rotate any players with Toronto FC II being the weakest of the three opponents on paper.
Need to get 3 desperately and keep the momentum building.
Couldn't agree more, it's not technically must win but certainly feels likely it.

This image links to my GUHSD English Summit presentation on digital portfolios.
I remember the first time I started using digital portfolios in my classes I was motivated by the idea of getting students to take part in creating online content rather than just consuming it. It was getting easier and easier for students to add to the world wide web of knowledge, and I wanted my students to know how to take part in the digital world. That was a few years ago. Since then, I continue to support digital portfolios for the value they can bring to the learning process for students. I believe that educators can use digital portfolios to train students to take authentic ownership of what they are learning and how they are learning it.
Taking ownership of their learning process is vital to helping students see that school isn't just something that happens to them. Students often see themselves as passive participants in the learning process. Have you ever asked a student: How do you know when you've learned something? The answer I frequently get from students is something along the lines of: "When I get a good grade" or "When I get a high score on a test" or "When the teacher tells me what I learned." Good grades and high test scores are nice, but I argue that it's more authentic for students to be able to point to a demonstration of their learning, beyond a score or a grade. In the near future, no one will care what grades or scores our students received in high school, they are going to want to know what our former students can do.
As a teacher, I understand how assessments can be used guide students as they develop skills. I think something is getting lost in translation, though. However much we stress learning in our classes, our students often value grades/scores more than what they have learned. As students go through school, they perceive that high scores and grades have more value than the learning that high grades and scores represent. This flawed value system is bad for all students, but it's especially bad for students that may not necessarily value high grades/scores in the first place.
Digital portfolios offer us a way to train students to put more value on learning and the learning process. As a teacher in a 1:1 school, I've witnessed the tendency for students to passively engage in the digital world vs. actively engage in it. Our students' tendency to be passive learners when we focus on grades and scores bleeds into being passive technology users.
But what if, rather than only having students demonstrate understanding on tests and chasing "points" for high grades, we asked students to prove that they have learned by giving evidence of their learning? The learning demonstrated and defended by students on their digital portfolios would be a more authentic assessment of their understanding compared to a score on a test (a number) or a grade in a class (a letter). To repeat, in the near future, no one will care what grades or scores our students received in high school, they are going to want to know what our former students can do. Digital portfolios allow students to show what they can do. More than that, digital portfolios offer students a plethora of possibilities when it comes to how they want to represent their learning. With student choice comes more meaningful, personalized learning and more buy-in.
Digital portfolios will help our students shift away from the "is this good enough for the teacher" mentality. When we ask students to use their digital portfolio to demonstrate their learning, we should stress that making their understanding public means broadening their audience. Digital portfolios allow students to share their understanding with teachers, future teachers, parents, college admissions officials, future employers, their future selves, and their personal learning network. Students should understand that their learning enables them to join a wider conversation, to participate more broadly in the discussions that shape our world. With digital portfolios, students can learn to connect to to a wider audience.
I'm currently working to promote digital portfolios by making the collection, display, and feedback around digital portfolios as easy as possible.
While it has been slow going so far, I have seen students grapple more with some of the most valuable educational questions they can consider: What do I know? What did I learn? How do I know that I learned it?
I think digital portfolios can benefit the learning goals of every class on campus, so I am advocating for a school-wide push to incorporate digital portfolios into our instruction. I'm not talking about simply adding one more thing to our list of things to do in class. I'm talking about using digital portfolios as a way to demonstrate understanding–something we all have our students do in some way or another in all classes. What do you want your students to know? How can they demonstrate that understanding on their digital portfolios?
I look forward to working with my colleagues to give students more ownership of their learning process. Thanks for reading!

Procrastinating is not an option when there is work to be done. You have to stay one step ahead of the game. We have to always be looking for ways to enhance and improve your business. No time to be idle, every second counts.
The more time you waste the next person is already gaining steps ahead of you. In today's business market there is a lot of competition out there and each business owner is claiming their business service or product is the best.
Competition is getting stiffer and stiffer.
Sharpen your marketing and public speaking skills. No one notices something invisible. You must socialize so people will know who you are, what you do, and where to find you when needed.
Create a website for your business if you have not already done so. Tell the story of what inspired your journey. If you already have one and have had it for a while now might be a good time to refresh it, people pay attention to every detail now days.Buyers are looking for the most they can get for their dollars. They want professionalism not peanuts.
Cover all your basis, make sure you keep business cards on hand at all times and distribute them. You can leave them in places locally in your neighborhood like mini markets, banks, post offices, laundromats, and your local library.
A lot of these places have bulletin boards where customers can post ads, leave flyers, or business cards. It's a good investment to get your business listed in the local business yellow pages in your city or state. Small ads in your weekly neighborhood reader could prove to be profitable and get your name and business on the lips of folks in your area.
Networking and good advertising is essential to the growth of your business. The success of your business is what you make of it. If you put 50% into it then you will only see half of what it could possibly be, why not put your all into it and work at making it stand out from the rest. Remember you only get out of it what you put into it.
When artists and innovators attempt to turn their skill or passion into a business they have to remember it is not always easy to do. It is natural to receive compliments from family and close friends on our concepts and ideas but we have to be able to accept constructive criticism from outsiders because not everybody will see our vision as clear as we do.
We have to be able to take the good with the bad and not give up when we receive an opinion from someone that is not as positive as we would have liked it to be. You may have to do some research in order to help you more effectively market your business. The buyers market is huge and there are many that posses the same skill you have and sometimes better.
Have your own creative mark that makes you unique. It may take a while but don't give up. Don't wait for someone else to see your vision come to fruition. You have to make it happen.
If you are blessed to have help that's a good thing but that is not always the case and some only have themselves to rely on. Be patient if you are the sole investor in your business, keep in mind it might take you a little longer for everything to fully come together but stay focused and motivated.
Don't be discouraged, have patience and continue to take it one day at a time until you get there. Keep a positive attitude and work hard. It will happen.

Black List Script When The Street Lights Go On Gets Director
By Kristy Puchko published 11 April 12
Each winter, before award season hits its fever pitch, we are offered an insight into what could be the season's future contenders thanks to the release of The Black List, a compilation of the scripts that are deemed extraordinary by Hollywood execs, and yet are presently unproduced. Past Black List offerings include such Oscar winners as The Social Network, The King's Speech, and Inglourious Basterds, so scoring a coveted spot on the List insures a project substantial buzz. In the case of Chris Hutton and Eddie O'Keefe's When The Street Lights Go On, this has led to the 1980s-set crime drama becoming the latest screenplay to be plucked from the List and put into production.
Though early reports had Whip It-helmer Drew Barrymore attached to direct When The Street Lights Go On, Deadline reveals Anonymous Content, the production company behind Winter's Bone and The Beaver, has signed noted documentarian Brett Morgen to helm the drama, which is expected to shoot this year. Morgen, who may be best known for co-helming the cheeky Robert Evans bio-doc The Kid Stays in the Picture, will make his narrative directing debut on this tragedy-centered tale.
Said to be similar to Rob Reiner's dark coming-of-age drama Stand By Me, When The Street Lights Go On focuses on a teen boy who becomes fascinated and ultimately fixated on the mystery surrounding the recent murder of a local girl. Morgen, who is currently in production on documentary celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones, seems sure to bring a frank yet sleek sensibility to the this story. And while I personally found Whip It to be poignant and unfairly underseen, it sounds like Morgen may be the better choice for this particular project.
All the same, let's hope Barrymore returns to the fray of filmmaking soon.

Since August 3, 1996, Darkwood Film Arts Institute has been the leader in training actors, screenwriters, producers and directors in every aspect of moviemaking throughout the State of Oklahoma.
This outcome is the result of trying to meet an existing deficit. Our initial vision was to produce feature films at BARE BONES prices as outlined in Rick Schmidt's outstanding book, "Feature Filmmaking At Used Car Prices." The results were more than just inspiring but truly motivation to continue on this incredible journey. Some of you may ask "Why?"
The movie industry is the only industry that encompasses all arts and sciences. It is truly unique in this perspective. As the technology of information sharing and storage along with image reproduction, manipulation and exhibition merge, the possibilities and opportunities are unlimited for the next generation of media makers, filmmakers and storytellers.
Darkwood Film Arts Institute has grown from the realization that many of the opportunities are not available to many interested and deserving individuals either because of location or cost and that in order to pass through the many barriers and hurdles faced by newcomers, it is best to band together, much like a flock of wild geese. Each one taking the lead from time to time, yet leaving none behind. This Wild Geese Practice has earned us a reputation for going beyond what is expected. How Do We Do It? Simple. Our motto is: "You may quit on us, but we will never quit on you."
WHY A SCRIPT-2-SCREEN FEST?
In October, 1999, Darkwood Film Arts Institute took the next major step towards creating an independent film community by producing and sponsoring The Bare Bones International Independent Film Festival, which took place in March, 2000. This has become the largest annual gathering of independent moviemakers in the Southwest for projects produced for less than a million dollars. We champion the struggling Auteur who literally does it all or who gathers a close team who contributes what's needed to get their movie make. Very few of the 2,000+ films shown thus far are made for more than $500,000, most are made for far less. By having in attendance, media-makers from all across the U.S. and Canada and by bringing in experienced and award winning directors, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers and stunt professionals to conduct workshops and discussion groups, thus sharing their knowledge, we are paving the way for an independent movie explosion in Oklahoma.
The Script-2-Screen Fest arose out of our desire to create more independent movie productions in Oklahoma by encouraging more stories to be written by Oklahomans with more Oklahoma shooting locations.
This film festival will primarily focus on the Screenwriter and the need for making transitions. ScreenWriter-Director, Actor-ScreenWriter, Actor-Producer, Cinematographer-Editor, are just a few of the hyphenates we encounter.
People who have written screenplays, teleplays will compete for the opportunity to direct a live screenplay scene during the festival which will be videotaped.
Sure we show plenty of movies submitted from all over. We also demystify the process of getting a project from Script to Screen with all of the steps and resources outlined.
We hope to broaden interests and develop expertise throughout the independent film community.
We believe in and practice "Shameless D-I-Y Self-PRomotion"!
An event such as this offers opportunities for maximum exposure. Networking is key to getting a project off the ground.
We are always looking for ways to boost the people whom we encounter on our incredible journey. We treat EVERYONE the same and we hope in a good positive way. You started and completed your project, whether a script of a movie or a documentary and deserve recognition and encouragement from a level field of play that is not influenced by stardom.
Meet everyone you can as you never know who they may become and not for what you can get but rather what you both are willing to share. Be as happy for the success of others as you are of your own as we all pursue our wildest dreams with a shared PASSION!

Verywestham: Hammers simply can't afford NOT to strengthen!
With just a week left in the January transfer window it's all getting a bit heated at West Ham. Even worse, the injury list is (as usual) growing with news that both Andy Carroll and Manny Lanzini are set for prolonged absences - three months in Carroll's case (ED: that usually means nine!) and which essentially ends another season of disappointment for the big man.
With a series of very winnable games looming in the next month, Moyes can nail down his job as Hammers head-honcho for next season beyond, but with the squad depleting it looks like all the good work of late , which has propelled the club to mid table safety, could well come undone.
With rumours that just about every Hammers forward is potentially on the move (Chicharito to Besiktas; Ayew to Swansea; Sakho to Rennes; Carroll to sickbay instead of Chelsea) and revelations today that Chelsea are trying to destabilise Marko Arnautovic, it makes for hard viewing right now at the London Stadium.
Even worse, do we really think that the likes of Joe Allen or Jonjo Shelvey are top six standard players? With some reports suggesting that Moyes wants to stick to proven Premiership performers, it is clear that he has an eye for inter Milan's midfield Joao Mario. The Portuguese would bring a winning mentality but as a principally defensive-oriented player, he will hardly provide the solution to our reliability on Arnautovic up front.
Similarly, Anderlecht's Leander Dendoncker, another energetic midfielder that the Hammers have been linked with, is not exactly prolific with just 10 goals in 155 appearances for the Belgian club.
It's pretty clear that its going to be difficult to bring in quality players as the January window is cagey and overpriced! Offloading the volatile Diafra Sakho for the reported fee of £10 million (who is out of contract in the Summer!) would be a start. Also, Chicharito might have finally checked in with his strike on Saturday against Bournemouth. It's also relevant that after high profile failures chasing 'big' players in the past, last Summer saw the Hammers board adopt a less flamboyant approach to transfer dealings which perhaps underpins the relative silence about possible signings.
With the 13th highest income from gate receipts worldwide, we can certainly afford to dip into our pockets and ensure our Premiership survival! We predict some good news on the transfer front, and soon!

Home Technology Three Finance Apps That Can (Mostly) Replace Your Bank
Three Finance Apps That Can (Mostly) Replace Your Bank
By estartupstory -
One tech development that feels somewhat underappreciated this decade is that various apps have made personal finance and investment almost fun. This isn't necessarily a 100 percent positive development. There are drawbacks, such as young people getting into investment through trendy apps without actually knowing what they're doing. More broadly speaking though, the emergence and improvement of these apps has brought all of our financial needs to our fingertips. It's happened somewhat gradually, but it feels like something we might appreciate more when we look back on the current decade in years to come.
Lately, a little bit more buzz has been building, and tends to revolve around the suggestions that certain apps can basically replace bank accounts. That claim, at this moment, still feels exaggerated – but only slightly so. There are in fact some finance-related apps offering a vast array of services. Three in particular can do most of what we tend to rely on our banks for on a day-to-day basis.
Once known as Moneybookers, Skrill has slowly gained a place among the elite payment and finance apps. It has a little bit more of a stated, specific purpose than some of its competitors – namely to facilitate low-fee international payments – but it's come to be a bigger service over time, and is now capable of handling a lot of the same tasks the other major players in the market can accomplish.
For all intents and purposes it's now a multi-currency online and mobile payment processing app with low (or no) fees for transactions. But it's also taken some steps to further its hold on individuals' financial dealings. For instance, you can now buy a prepaid card through your Skrill account so as to use the service in person, much like you may use a debit card from your bank. For regular users there are even some VIP loyalty rewards on offer. Additionally, Skrill now facilitates cryptocurrency transactions, which is not a regular banking activity but is something that's closely tied to a lot of people's personal finance dealings these days.
PayPal has been around for a while, and if you haven't used it recently you might think of it as being a little bit old-fashioned. It was the first major online payment processor to achieve significant public interest, and its early pairings with numerous major retail platforms made it easy to use. These days there tends to be a little bit more of a focus on peer-to-peer transfer ability, and in this regard it can seem as if other services like Venmo and Square's Cash App have surpassed PayPal in general utility. What some don't realize, however, is that Venmo is actually owned and operated by PayPal, which makes the service that much more impressive.
The truth is that PayPal has proven over the last year or two to be anything but old fashioned. The app and website have both been updated to look every bit as modern as other payment processors, and more importantly PayPal has gotten into all kinds of new ventures. It supports its own debit card and allows for direct deposit from online employers and even check deposits. And more recently, PayPal has gained acceptance from sportsbooks, which opens up a whole new industry to PayPal use (even if it's not related to replacing ordinary banking services). At this point it's probably still fair to call this the most multi-faceted, comprehensive finance app available.
Cash App
Square's Cash App, which is now generally referred to as the Cash App or simply Cash, is perhaps the most popular competitor to both PayPal and Venmo. It is marketed more as a counter to the latter, with peer-to-peer payments made easy and an interface that is arguably more user-friendly and modern than that of Venmo. However, the Cash App is almost deceptively simple. While it looks like a fairly simple Venmo alternative, it has actually taken on PayPal somewhat more directly.
The Cash App's own cash card is killing it, with a large and growing user base, and like PayPal the service also accepts direct deposits for paychecks. This means that like PayPal, the Cash App can effectively replace much of what we tend to use our banks for. It can store money, load it onto a debit card, facilitate transfers, and accept deposits, all at the touch of a finger.

Kohli Congratulates Mithali Raj But Uploads Poonam Raut's Photo. Honest Mistake Or Major Goof Up?
Akarsh Mehrotra
9 shares | 2763 views
There are many ways of looking this.
How big a deal are you going to make out of it? Is our forgiveness even required? Maybe it's just about how Mithali reacts to the incident, if she does at all. Maybe Kohli was just too excited to congratulate her. Maybe he wanted to be the first one to do it. After all, she is his counterpart. He's on holiday right now and maybe the urgency of it all led to the slip up.
But honestly, how serious an offence do you think it is that Virat Kohli congratulated Mithali Raj but accidentally uploaded a photograph of her teammate Poonam Raut instead? After all, we live in a world that is weirdly dictated by social media now.
Source: Zee
For the uninformed, Mithali broke the world record for highest runs in women's ODI on Thursday after surpassing Charlotte Edwards's record of 5992 runs. Mithali also became the first woman to cross 6000 ODI runs. The feat is magnificent and something we should all be proud of.
There is no doubt in saying that Virat was extremely proud too. He knows what it's like to break records. But was it Google's fault that it returned Poonam Raut's image when he was searching for Mithali?
You can't question the intention behind it. He is genuinely proud of her. And to be fair, you can't really see Poonam's face in the photo. But would anyone every mistake Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan for Kohli?
Mithali stands out just as much as Virat does. It takes you back to the interview where she was asked who her favourite male player was. She asked the journalist whether a male cricketer had ever been asked who his favourite female cricketer was?
She was implying that the women's format needs more recognition. Virat's motives can't be questioned but he is our captain, just like Mithali is. It's incidents like this that perhaps makes the women's team feel sidelined.
Virat was of course made aware of the goof up and he removed the post from Facebook. His tweet doesn't carry a photograph, just the message and hence is still up.
A great moment for Indian Cricket, @M_Raj03 becomes the highest run scorer in Women's ODI Cricket History today. Champion Stuff! 👌👏
— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) July 12, 2017
At the end of the day, it was an honest mistake. If any of us would've posted the wrong image, it would not have been reported but just made fun of by our friends.
But then again, Kohli is not just anybody. There are eyes on him at all times. We have expectations and his job demands that he lives up to them. The man rarely disappoints and that is probably why the smallest of his mistakes makes headlines.

Prom Dresses Evolve Through the Years
By: Aniela Gesing
Attending prom has been a tradition since the early 1800s, according to www.bustle.com . Trends for prom dresses come and go. However, for women, finding the most beautiful and unique dress that fits the wearer's personality has been around for centuries. It is not uncommon for those who have attended their prom to save their dress as a keepsake for years to come.
In the 1950s, prom dresses were cinched at the waist and had a full and fluffy skirt with a lot of body. The fluffy skirt trend disappeared in the 1960s and the focus was on lace bodices and silky and form-fitting skirts. Prom dresses in the 1970s consisted of more light and flowing fabric with small flower print and small strings for ties. There was a break-through for silk, ruffles, and off the shoulder bodices in the 1980s, making this the year of the most dramatic dresses. Many styles had extravagant ruffles that fell off the shoulder or sat at the waistline of dresses. Metallic-looking fabric was also popular for women in the 1980s. Silk, spaghetti straps, and velvet took the stage during the 1990s and the shape of dresses became more fitted. Many girls wore simple and tighter fighting dresses to dance the night away. In 2010, sequins and neon colors were the style. Many dress bodices were decorated with rhinestone and had long and lightweight skirts. The present style for prom dresses consists of low-neck lines and fitted skirts. Two-piece dresses are also in style for 2019, which is a nod to some popular styles from the 1990s.
While researching the past decades of prom dress styles, The Squire sat down to interview Jennifer Gesing, mother of Eisenhower senior, Aniela Gesing, about her prom dresses. Mrs. Gesing stated that she attended prom in the years 1988 and 1989. Mrs. Gesing wore a cream colored dress her junior year because she liked it and chose to wear a red dress her senior year to be a rebel. Gunne Sax was a very popular dress brand in the 1980s, much like Sherri Hill is for girls today, and was the style that many girls favored. Gunne Sax dresses were frilly and dramatic looking. For our readers who might not be familiar with the style, the mean girls in the 1980s classic movie, Pretty and Pink, are wearing dresses that look similar to the Gunne Sax dresses. When The Squire asked Mrs. Gesing if she kept her prom dress, she shared that she kept it for about ten years and then finally donated them to Goodwill. Mrs. Gesing also stated, "In my era, the hair was just as important as the dress. The bigger the better!" The Squire would like to thank Mrs. Gesing for sharing about her years of prom!
Altogether, the evolution of prom dresses is endless. Girls for years to come will continue setting new trends and wowing the crowd at their dances. The most important thing is that you get the dress that speaks to you and dance the night away, feeling like a queen.

Meet Pablo Picasso - The Artist Extraordinaire
by Fatemeh Mirjalili | March 22, 2019, 12:00 AM IST
Learn about the prodigy who could draw before he could talk!
Born in Malaga in southern Spain in 1881, Pablo Picasso exhibited a natural talent for drawing as a child. Being able to draw before he said his first words proves that he was destined to be one of the most influential and successful artists of all time.
Throughout his life, Picasso had the astonishing ability to absorb and develop the aesthetics of several art styles. He has an incredible 50,000 paintings, sculptures and drawings to his name, the most famous being Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, completed in 1907 in Paris. This oil painting depicts five nude female prostitutes and is regarded as the art work that began the Modernist Movement.

Let's look at some facts about this remarkable genius
1) Picasso's first words as a child were "piz piz", meaning "lapiz", which is Spanish for pencil.
2) Pablo completed his first painting when he was nine years old. The title of the painting was Le Picador. The image is of a man riding a horse in a bullfight.
'Le Picador' 1890. '
3) Picasso was the first artist to receive a special honour exhibition at the Grand Gallery of the Louvre Museum in Paris in celebration of his 90 years.

4) Picasso's full name has 23 words. His real name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso.

5) Picasso was not a good student and he was frequently given detention.
6) Pablo Picasso, along with Georges Braque (1882-1963), is considered the inventor of the modern art movement called Cubism, a style that reduces subjects to geometric forms.
7) Picasso would often carry around a pistol loaded with blanks. He would fire it at people he found boring or anyone who insulted Cézanne, his idol.
8) Picasso was accepted to the School of Fine Arts when he was 13 years old. While most students completed their entrance exams in a month, he completed his in just one week.

9) When Picasso died, he had no will, so his death duties (estate tax) to the French state were paid in paintings.
10) Picasso's last words were "Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can't drink anymore."

Mission team visits church facing closure
By davidvranishJuly 30, 2012
Romania (MNN) — While Romania is no longer a communist country, the government may be dipping their toes back into its history of trying to control the church.
Legislation being considered by the Romanian government specifically targets smaller churches.
Patrick Klein with Vision Beyond Borders says, "The government is clamping down. They're making it more and more difficult for the churches. There's talk of even closing down churches that are under the number of 200 people."
Klein says the threat of government slowly taking control may not be well recognized by the Romanian people. "People are thinking, 'Well, it wasn't so bad under communism. At least the government took care of us.' They forget the oppression they lived under, and especially as Christians, what kind of oppression [they endured]."
Vision Beyond Borders sent a mission team of 10 people to Romania last week to work with a church that is under threat of being closed down if this legislation is passed.
Despite this threat, the church's ministry is still growing and impacting Romania for Christ.
According to Klein who led the trip, "One of the elders in the church really has a heart for the gypsy people. His wife is actually from a gypsy background, so he's really encouraged our teams to go out and minster to the gypsies. He said, 'I really love these people. I want to reach them with the Gospel.'"
The team helped minister to the gypsy community, which experiences a great deal of discrimination. "There's a minority of them that kind of have a bad reputation in Eastern Europe of being pickpockets and thieves, and so they're really looked down upon in Europe and especially in Romania."
Among the gypsy community, team members gave out clothing, vegetable seeds, and provided electricity for one woman's house. They also shared the message of salvation, and five people accepted Christ as their Lord. The team set up a PA system and sang worship songs.
Pray for the Romanian church to continue impacting the gypsy population for the Gospel of Christ. Pray that the government of Romania will not shut down smaller churches.
Vision Beyond Borders will send out another mission team to Romania in September. They will build a home for the director of Haven of Hope orphanage which shares a compound with the church.

Hacked Audio of Clinton Fundraiser Raises More Suspicions of Russian Meddling
The latest hack of the Democratic nominee's campaign reveals Clinton has some misgivings about Obama's push to modernize the nuclear arsenal.
By Dan De Luce and Paul McLeary
DES MOINES, IA - SEPTEMBER 29: Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks during a campaign rally on September 29, 2016 in Des Moines, Iowa. Hillary Clinton is campaigning in Iowa. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Another day on the campaign trail, another hack of Hillary Clinton's campaign. This time it's an audio recording of the Democratic presidential candidate speaking to donors at a February fundraiser in northern Virginia, and the subject isn't just the usual stuff of politics: It goes to the heart of American nuclear strategy.
The recording that was passed to the right-leaning Washington Free Beacon website marks another alarming episode in a campaign season marked by a series of digital thefts that security experts believe have been carried out by Russian-backed hackers to disrupt the U.S. presidential election.
The hack reinforces concerns that Russia is trying to influence and interfere in the U.S. election in favor of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, who has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and whose aides have long had friendly ties to Moscow and its allies. Both the Clinton campaign and lawmakers have alleged that Russia is attempting to meddle in the election.
But it's not clear this latest hack will have much of an effect on the race for the White House, as the recording touches on questions of longer-term nuclear modernization, as well as relatively obscure details of the Defense Department's nuclear programs that are unfamiliar to most voters — and apparently even to Clinton herself.
In the recording, made at a routine fundraising event at one supporter's home in the leafy Washington suburb of McLean, Virginia, Clinton questions the elaborate, long-term $1 trillion modernization plan for the country's nuclear force, which is supported by President Barack Obama's administration, and whether and to what degree all of it is needed.
"Do we have to do any of it? If we have to do some of it, how much do we have to do?" she asked.
The timing of the leak will feed suspicions that Moscow's proxies are somehow involved. On Thursday, Defense Secretary Ash Carter wrapped up a four-day swing through some of the nation's most critical nuclear missile installations, touting the U.S. arsenal and promising hundreds of billions of dollars in upgrades in the coming years.
The Pentagon plans to spend $108 billion over the next five years to maintain and upgrade its nuclear force, including the nuclear-tipped cruise missile program.
Speaking Monday at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, Carter said Washington has underfunded nuclear weapons modernization over the past 25 years — while Russia and China have ramped up their efforts — and many systems "have already been extended decades beyond their original expected service lives. So it's not a choice between replacing these platforms [and] keeping them. It's really a choice between replacing them [and] losing them."
The next day at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, Carter went further, suggesting that Washington should "adapt" traditional conceptions of deterrence in the face of North Korea's unpredictability and Russian modernization programs. "We can't just do things the old way," he said. "We have to look at those whom we're deterring and adjust what we're doing to take that into account."
Carter's comments marked one of the most strident defenses of the American military's nuclear capability by a U.S. official in years, analysts say.
"He emphasized in a forward-leaning and deliberate way how nuclear forces are the backbone of our forces, including conventional forces," said Thomas Karako, the director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "That was an important speech."
But it was Carter's remark that the United States is "refreshing NATO's nuclear playbook" to deter Russia that drew a swift rebuke from the Russian Foreign Ministry, which accused Carter of "plotting a dangerous game."
Moscow added that "Carter's statement means that if Russia comes under attack from U.S. allies, the Americans will be ready to back it and threaten to use their nuclear weapons against us."
The audio recording of Clinton's remarks has also surfaced on a website called DC Leaks, which previously published large volumes of hacked emails from U.S. military and civilian officials and organizations. Researchers at the cybersecurity firm ThreatConnect have identified the site as part of information operations carried out by Russian agents against U.S. targets during the election season. The site has posted emails belonging to former Secretary of State Colin Powell; Gen. Philip Breedlove, the former commander of NATO forces in Europe; and documents from financier George Soros's philanthropic outfit.
The audio file in question was contained in an email sent by Ian Mellul, a Democratic operative, to Nick Merrill, a Clinton official. Merrill did not respond to questions about the file and the policy differences between Clinton and the Obama administration on nuclear weapons.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the email hack, but the episode — and the fact that the Clinton campaign has been targeted yet again — will likely turn the spotlight back on the Trump campaign's ties to Moscow.
This week, one of Trump's advisors, Carter Page, was forced to resign after a report that he may have met with Russian officials under sanction by the United States and the European Union and that U.S. intelligence agencies were investigating him for possible back-channel ties to Russian leaders. Page, a onetime consultant to and investor in the Kremlin's state-run gas company Gazprom, has long defended Russian government policies. The Trump campaign spent days denying he was even part of the candidate's advisory team before Page finally announced he was leaving the campaign.
In the leaked recording, Clinton stumbles on a technical question about a new nuclear weapon. A former senior Pentagon official asks Clinton if she favors scrapping a proposed new nuclear-armed cruise missile, known as the long-range standoff (LRSO) weapon.
Clinton indicates she would oppose such a missile, signaling a less hawkish stance than Obama. But it's not clear she entirely understands the question, as she quickly shifts to describing the dangers of tactical nuclear weapons, which are a separate category of shorter-range weapons and not what she was asked about. She refers to the 2011 arms control treaty negotiated with Russia during her tenure as secretary of state and adds that the accord did not cover tactical nuclear weapons.
The question to Clinton came from Andrew Weber, a former senior Defense Department official who has urged the Obama White House to call off the new cruise missile on grounds that it is a dangerous and unnecessary addition to America's already vast nuclear arsenal.
The U.S. Air Force reportedly plans to buy a total of 1,000-1,100 of the new missiles at a cost of $10.8 billion, with the first missile due to be completed by 2026. They would allow nuclear capability on advanced, radar-evading bombers like the B-2 and a planned long-range bomber still under development, rather than relying on the old, slow-flying, nonstealthy B-52 bomber.
The new cruise missile has set off a debate between the Defense Department and critical defense wonks — the Pentagon wants more flexibility, while arms control experts worry it will be destabilizing — but is hardly the centerpiece or linchpin of U.S. nuclear policy.
"People are reacting to this like it means something, but it doesn't," said Jeffrey Lewis, an arms control expert and contributor to Foreign Policy. "It's a living room in February where she's been blindsided and is giving a pat response."

Q: Find large number in a list, where all previous numbers are also in the list I am trying to implement a Yellowstone Integer calculation which suggests that "Every number appears exactly once: this is a permutation of the positive numbers". The formula I have implemented to derive the values is as follows:
import math

yellowstone_list = []
item_list = []
i = 0

while i <= 1000:
    if i <= 3:
        yellowstone_list.append(i)

    else:
        j = 1
        inList = 1

        while inList == 1:
            minus_1 = math.gcd(j, yellowstone_list[i-1])
            minus_2 = math.gcd(j, yellowstone_list[i-2])
            if minus_1 == 1 and minus_2 > 1:
                if j in yellowstone_list:
                    inList = 1
                else:
                    inList = 0

            j += 1

        yellowstone_list.append(j - 1)

    item_list.append(i)

    i += 1

The issue becomes that as i increases, the time taken for the formula to determine the value of j also increases (naturally as i is increasingly further away from the start point of j).
What I would like to do is determine the largest value of j in the yellowstone_list, where all the values of 1 to j are already in the list.
As an example, in the below list, j would be 9, as all the values 0 - 9 are in the list:
yellowstone_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 8, 15, 14, 5, 6, 25, 12, 35, 16, 7]
Any suggestions on how to implement this in an efficient manner?

A: For the "standalone" problem as stated the algorithm would be:

*

*Sort the list.

*Run a counter from 0 while in parallel traversing the list. Once the counter value is unequal to the list element, then you have found one-past the wanted element.
Something like the following:
x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 8, 15, 14, 5, 6, 25, 12, 35, 16, 7]
y=sorted(x)

for i in range(1, len(y)):
    if y[i]!=i:
        print(i-1)
        break

But in your case it appears that the initial list is being built gradually. So each time a number is added to the list, it can be inserted in a sorted manner and can be checked against the previous element and the traversal can start from there for more efficient process.

A: This is how I would do it:
lst.sort()

for c, i in enumerate(lst):
    if c + 1 < len(lst) and lst[c + 1] != i + 1:
        j = i
        break
    else:
        j = i

Basically, the list is sorted, and then, it loops through each value, checking if the next value is only 1 greater than the current.

A: After some time to sit down and think about it, and using the suggestions to sort the list, I came up with two solutions:

*

*Sorting
I implemented @eugebe Sh.'s solution within the while i < 1000 loop as follows:
    while i <= 1000:

        m = sorted(yellowstone_list)
        for n in range(1, len(m)):
            if m[n]!=n:
                break

        if i == 0:
....

*

*In List
I ran an increment to check if the value was in the list using the "in" function, also within the while i < 1000 loop, as follows:
    while i <= 1000:

        while k in yellowstone_list:
            k += 1

        if i == 0:
....

Running both codes 100 times, I got the following:
Sorting: Total: 1:56.403527 seconds, Average: 1.164035 seconds.
In List: Total: 1:14.225230 seconds, Average: 0.742252 seconds.

There are scores of promising technologies under development that can reduce energy consumption or capture carbon in fields including biotech, computer science, nanotechnology, materials science, and more. Not all will prove feasible, but with a little funding and nurturing, many could help solve the planet's grand challenge.
One such solution is emerging from new approaches to industrial separation processes. At MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering, Professor Zachary Smith is working on new polymeric membranes that can greatly reduce energy use in chemical separations. He's also conducting longer range research into enhancing polymeric membranes with nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
"Not only are we making and analyzing materials from the fundamental principle of transport, thermodynamics and reactivity, but we're beginning to take that knowledge to create models and design new materials with separation performance that has never been achieved before," Smith says. "It's exciting to go from the lab scale to thinking about the big process, and what will make a difference in society."
Smith often consults with industry experts who share insights on separations technologies. With the Paris climate agreement of 2015 so far holding together, despite the retreat by the U.S., the chemical and petrochemical industries where Smith is primarily focused is starting to feel the pressure to reduce emissions. The industry is also looking to reduce costs. The heating and cooling towers used for separations require considerable energy, and are expensive to build and maintain.
Industrial processes used in the chemical and petrochemical industries alone consume from a quarter to a third of the total energy in the U.S., and separations account for about half of that, says Smith. About half the energy consumption from separations comes from distillation, a process that requires extreme heat, or in the case of cryogenic distillation, even more energy-hungry extreme cooling.
"It requires a lot of energy to boil and reboil mixtures, and it's even more inefficient because it requires phase changes," says Smith. "Membrane separation technology could avoid those phase changes and use far less energy. Polymers can be made defect-free, and you can cast them into selective, 100-nanometer-thick thin films that could cover a football field."
Many hurdles that stand in the way, however. Membrane separations are used in only a tiny fraction of industrial gas separation processes because the polymeric membranes "are often inefficient, and can't match the performance of distillation," says Smith. "The current membranes don't provide enough throughput — called flux — for high volume applications, and they're often chemically and physically unstable when using more aggressive feed-streams."
Many of these performance problems stem from the fact that polymers tend to be amorphous, or entropically disordered. "Polymers are easy to process and form into useful geometries, but the spacing where molecules can move through polymeric membranes changes over time," says Smith. "It's difficult to control their porous internal free volume."
The most demanding separations require size selectively between molecules of only a fraction of an angstrom. To address this challenge, the Smith Lab is attempting to add nanoscale features and chemical functionality to polymers to achieve finer-grained separations. The new materials can "soak up one type of molecule and reject another," says Smith.
To create polymeric membranes with higher throughput and selectivity, Smith's team is taking new polymers developed at MIT labs that can be reacted to template ordered structure into traditional disordered, amorphous polymers. As he explains, "We then post-synthetically treat them in a way to template in some nanometer sized pockets that create diffusion pathways."
While the Smith Lab has found success with many of these techniques, achieving the flux required for high-volume applications is still a challenge. The problem is complicated by the fact that there are more than 200 different types of distillation separation processes used by the chemical and petrochemical industry. Yet this can also be an advantage when trying to introduce a new technology — researchers can look for a niche instead of attempting to change the industry overnight.
"We're looking for targets where we would have the most impact," says Smith. "Our membrane technology has the advantage of offering a much smaller footprint, so you can use them in remote locations or on offshore oil platforms."
Due to their small size and weight, membranes are already being used on airplanes to separate nitrogen from air. The nitrogen is then used to coat the fuel tank to avoid explosions like the one that brought down TWA Flight 800 in 1996. Membranes have also been used for carbon dioxide removal at remote natural gas wells, and have found a niche in a few larger petrochemical applications such as hydrogen removal.
Smith aims to expand into applications that typically use cryogenic distillation towers, which require immense energy to produce extreme cold. In the petrochemical industry, these include ethylene-ethane, nitrogen-methane, and air separations. Many plastic consumer products are made of ethylene, so reducing energy costs in fabrication could generate huge benefits.
"With cryogenic distillation, you not only must separate molecules that are similar in size, but also in thermodynamic properties," says Smith. "The distillation columns can be 200 or 300 feet tall with very high flow rates, so the separation trains can cost up to billions of dollars. The energy required to pull vacuum and operate the systems at -120 degrees Celsius is enormous."
Other potential applications for polymer membranes include "finding other ways to remove CO2 from nitrogen or methane or separating different types of paraffins or chemical feedstocks," says Smith.
Carbon capture and sequestration is also on the radar. "If there was an economic driver for capturing CO2 today, carbon capture would be the largest application by volume for membranes by a factor of 10," he says. "We could make a sponge-like material that would soak up CO2 and efficiently separate it so you could pressurize it and store it underground."
One challenge when using polymeric membranes in gas separations is that the polymers are typically made of hydrocarbons. "If you have the same type of hydrocarbon components in your polymer that you have in the feed-stream you're trying to separate, the polymer can swell or dissolve or lose its separation performance," says Smith. "We're looking to introduce non-hydrocarbon-based components such as fluorine into polymers so that the membrane interacts better with hydrocarbon-based mixtures."
Smith is also experimenting with adding MOFs to polymers. MOFs, which are formed by linking together a metal ions or metal clusters with an organic linker, may not only solve the hydrocarbon problem, but the entropic disorder issue as well.
"MOFs let you form one, two, or three-dimensional crystal structures that are permanently porous," says Smith. "A teaspoon of MOFs has an internal surface area of a football field, so you can think about functionalizing the internal surfaces of MOFs to selectively bind to or reject certain molecules. You can also define the pore shape and geometry to allow one molecule to pass while another is rejected."
Unlike polymers, MOF structures won't typically change shape, so the pores are far more persistent over time. In addition, "they don't degrade like certain polymers through a process known as aging," says Smith. "The challenge is how to incorporate crystalline materials in a process where you can make them as thin films. One approach we're taking is to disperse MOFs into polymers as nanoparticles. This would let you exploit the MOFs' efficiency and productivity while maintaining the processability of the polymer."
One potential advantage of introducing MOF-enhanced polymeric membranes is process intensification: bundling different separation or catalytic processes in a single step to achieve greater efficiencies. "You can think about combining a type of MOF material that could separate a gas mixture and allow the mixture to undergo a catalytic reaction at the same time," says Smith. "Some MOFs can also act as cross-linking agents. Instead of using polymers directly cross linked together, you can have links between MOF particles dispersed in a polymer matrix, which would create more stability for separations."
Due to their porous nature, MOFs may potentially be used for "capturing hydrogen, methane, or even in some cases CO2," says Smith. "You can get very high uptake if you create the right type of sponge-like structure. It's a challenge, however, to find materials that selectively bind one of these components in very high capacity."
A similar application for MOFs would be storing hydrogen or natural gas for fueling a car. "Using a porous material in your fuel tank would let you hold more hydrogen or methane," says Smith.
Smith cautions that MOF research could take decades before it achieves fruition. His lab's polymer research, however, is much further along, with commercial solutions expected in the next five to 10 years.
"It could be a real game changer," he says.
