RED CHINA WILL CLOSE BORDERS IF/WHEN MUTATED BIRD FLU STRIKES!
"Reuters" -
China will close its borders if it finds a single case of human-to-human transmission of bird flu there, a Hong Kong newspaper reported on Saturday ... Saving lives would be Beijing's top priority in efforts to contain a possible outbreak of bird flu, even if it meant slowing the economy, Huang Jiefu, a vice minister of health, was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.
Er, umm... whattayathink THAT would do to the world economy?!?!? Yipes!
NYTIMES MELTDOWN: DOWD LASHES OUT IN SCATHING PERSONAL ATTACK ON MILLER
I saw a DT version of the NYTIMES today, and read Dowd (I got a tip earlier in the day that it was a "hot" column). BOY WUZZIT! THERE WAS ONLY ONE POINT TO THE COLUMN: Dowd viciously attacking Judith Miller. I would call it a one-sided cat-fight only Dowd is way way way WAY too bitchy. Then again, maybe mentioning bitches and cat-fights in the same sentence as Maureen Dowd is an insult to dogs and cats everywhere!
Anyhow.... HOW BIZARRE IZZIT THAT A NYTIMES COLUMNIST IS ATTACKING ONE OF ITS STAR REPORTERS (on the same day she is attacked by its managing editor, Keller)!?!?
There is only one explanation: The NYTIMES has begun to MELTDOWN! Don't believe me!? Well, imagine if - at NRO - Jonah Goldberg viciously attacked KJ Lopez. IMPOSSIBLE YOU SAY!? Right. And now you've got an inkling of how weird this really is. There might be another partial explanation: Dowd - like Krugman and Herbert and Keller and the rest of the NYTIMES - has no shame. Like the rest of the Left!
(MEMEORANDUM has a round-up: Jeff Jarvis / BuzzMachine:Dowd v. Miller; The Huffington Post, Captain's Quarters and Instapundit.com .) More HERE (hat tip Memeorandum.)
SUNDAY UPDATE: On MTP today, Frank Rich admitted that the NYTIMES is in disarray and in a crisis. SO PINCH: whattyathink is the remedy.... moving FURTHER TO THE LEFT!?!?!?
MUSIC LOVER'S WORLD LOSES TRUE GENIUS
SHIRLEY HORN DEAD AT 71. She had a lovely voice and was a phenomenal jazz pianist, too. I had the great fortune of seeing her perform many times, including once at a small. intimate club in NYC - The Village Vanguard. She was a gem. Miles' favorite.
Which reminds me, the music lover's world lost another great musician not too long ago (and I think I neglected to acknowledge it at the time): Clarence Gatemouth Brown - a great fiddle player, a great guitarist, and a great singer. Oh yeah, he also led a Big Band once - a Texas Swing Band, as the drummer! When I lived in New Orleans I used to see him every time I had the chance, and I was never disappointed; he was a joyful performer.
I miss them both already. May they both Rest In Peace.

FORMER POWELL AIDE IMAGINES A CHENEY-RUMSFELD "CABAL"
Powell's former chief of staff says that Bush is uninterested in foreign policy and that it's run by a Cheney-Rumsfeld Cabal! (CAN YOU IMAGINE: a twice elected Veep [who was himself a SecDef], and one of the most experienced SecDefs EVER have A LOT OF INFLUENCE!? HOW OUTRAGEOUS! [Sarcasm off.]) Lawrence Wilkerson's use of the word "CABAL" has very interesting and probably intended overtones; cabal is obviously code for neo-con/Zionists. AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WILKERSON HAS GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO HURT BUSH: He slandered Bolton during his confirmation process; (Jehl/Weiseman, New York Times, April 19 - hat tip: NTI).
All I can say to the "Cheney-Rumsfeld Cabal" is this: When you piss off folks like Wilkerson, you must be doing something right!
QUESTION: IS BUSH'S 2ND TERM A FAILURE SO FAR? ANSWER: NO!
SENSENBRENNER INTRODUCES BILL TO BREAK UP 9TH CIRCUIT INTO MORE COURTS
BETSY'S THINGS: Representative Sensenbrenner has introduced a bill to break up the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. This is a long overdue measure, but I doubt that the Democrats will allow this to pass while Bush is president. Consider, however, these statistics.
The Ninth has 47 judges, a figure that approaches twice the number of total judges of the next largest circuit. The Ninth represents 56-million people, or roughly one- fifth of our nation's population. This is 25-million more people than the second largest circuit.
RELIAPUNDIT: If they carve a few more courts out the 9th, it would be good for ALL the people of out West, who right now have a very Leftist court which is VERY VERY over-worked and which can barely keep up with its workload. Betsy thinks this will get fillerbusted by the Leftist Dems. I think this would be GREAT issue to onvoke the "Constitutional Option" and re-tool the fillerbuster altogether. WHY? The Senate fillerbuster rule is anti-democratic -- SMALL "d".
SYRIA'S ASSAD REGIME ON VERGE...
10/21 -- UPDATE: NYTIMES/AP: The international community must find a way to hold Syrian authorities accountable for the death of a leading Lebanese reformer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday. Rice said she was deeply troubled by a U.N. report implicating Syria in the killing last February of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Rice spoke to reporters after the release of a report by U.N. investigator Detlev Mehlis that established a clear link between Syrian officials and their Lebanese allies in Hariri's murder. She declined to discuss next steps, beyond saying that some kind of international mechanism must be established to ensure that Syria is held accountable.
I have been arguing for a while that Syria's tyrant Assad -- and his murderous socialist/baathist henchmen -- would soon be through - one way or another. Last year I even wrote a post arguing that the ROAD TO TEHRAN GOES THROGH DAMASCUS. Well, the evidence is mounting that this is going to happen SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. Here's are 3 news items from YESTERDAY:
(1)"Reuters" - The head of a U.N. investigation into the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri turned over to Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Thursday a report that diplomatic and political sources said would implicate Syrian and Lebanese officials. Annan planned to transmit the report by veteran German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis to the 15-nation Security Council and to the Lebanese government on Friday. The United States is seeking tough action against Syria and Western powers are already discussing their response. Mehlis had no plan to give an advance copy to Damascus, U.N. chief spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Syria has grown increasingly nervous over how strongly the report will implicate its officials in the assassination of Hariri and 20 others in a Beirut truck bombing on February 14.
(2) NYTIMES - Syrian opposition grows bolder: "As international pressure on Syria rises, the country's historically quarrelsome and divided opposition groups have issued a broad call for democratic change in the form of a statement that is being called the "Damascus declaration." The Damascus declaration, which was issued on Oct. 16, calls for an end to Syria's emergency laws and other forms of political repression, and for a national conference on democratic change. The statement comes at a particularly tense time for Syria, which is being pressed by the United States and other Western nations to stop foreign fighters from crossing its eastern border into Iraq and to end its suspected interference in Lebanese and Palestinian affairs."
(3) ALSO NYTIMES: "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, facing tough questions about Iraq from Republican and Democratic senators, asserted that progress was being made in securing the country but declined to predict when American forces could withdraw or to rule out widening the war to Syria. ... Ms. Rice was also peppered with questions about possible expansion of the fighting to Syria and Iran, especially after she said both countries had to decide whether they were on the side of war or peace in Iraq. Asked about news reports that fighting on the border could spread to Syria, Ms. Rice repeatedly indicated that no options were being ruled out. "
So, STAY TUNED... (ASIDE: remember, once Syria falls, Iran will be completely isolated and surrounded...)
IN 1991, SADDAM DIRECTLY THREATENED THE USA WITH TERROR ATTACKS - and in 2003 Bush FINALLY did something about it!
SADDAM: "The United States wants to secure the flow of oil. This understandable and known. But it must not deploy methods which the United States says it disapproves of -- flexing muscles and pressure. If you use pressure, we will deploy pressure and force. We know that you can harm us although we do not threaten you. But we too can harm you. Everyone can cause harm according to their ability and their size. We cannot come all the way to you in the United States, but individual Arabs may reach you."
This quote proves that Bush was right to dethrone Saddam because this was a direct threat to the continental USA - one which could not be tolerated in a post 9/11 world.
This blatant threat coupled with the fact that Saddam had used WMD (against his own citizens in Halabja, and against Iranians), and was sponsoring international terror (by sending money to Palestinian terrorist groups) and was harboring terrorists (including Zarqawi and Abu Nidal) and was firing on our jets patrolling the NO-FLY ZONES (which were the only things preventing his continued genocide against the Kurds and the Shias) made his continued rule over Iraq a serious threat.
In 1998, the Congress passed and Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act - making regime change in Iraq the official policy of the USA. IN ADDITION, Saddam was in violation of several UNSCR's - which constituted the armistice for the Gulf War, and therefore - technically and legally - a state of war existed. When the UNSC unanimously oassed UNSCR #1441, they specifically warned Saddam that this was his last chance to get back into good graces, and what did he do??? Saddam filed what is UNIVERSALLY regarded as a false declaration. This essentially burned his final chance.
By using force to oust Saddam, all Bush did was implement UNSCR's and defend the security of the USA. This was - and remains - the president's most important duty, and in regard to Iraq, it was a duty he had the Congressional authority to ensure with the use of force - and authority granted to him in October of 2002 - THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE SOTU IN WHICH HE CITED BRITISH INTEL' ABOUT IRAQ'S ATTEMPTS TO BUY URANIUM IN AFRICA --- A FACT WHICH WAS ONLY A SINGLE FACET OF A MULTIFACETED CASE AGANIST SADDAM.
I bring this up today because with all the hubbub surrounding the Plamegate grand jury, and the Saddam Trial, I think it's important to remember that the first job of ALL presidents is to protect and defend the USA. We should NEVER allow our nation to be governed by a president - a COMMANDER IN CHIEF - who makes that a secondary priority - as Clinton did (remember, BJ Clinton didn't do enough to strengthen our defenses or counterattack our enemies after Somalia, the African embassy bombings, the Khobar bombing, the USS Cole attack. Still don't believe me that Clinton was DERELICT? Then just read the Freeh book!).
BOTTOM-LINE: Ousting Saddam made his threat to us moot. And it has changed Kaddafy, freed Lebanon - and will soon liberate Syria, too. And utterly isolate Iran.
It took great courage for Bush to stick by his guns and do the right thing. We are safer as a result (because Saddam canno threaten us or the Saudis or the Israelis or anyone else) - and the world is becoming a better place, too: democracy is spreading, and the swamp which breeds jihadoterrorism is draining - (that swamp is NOT anti-Americanism; it is tyranny and the poverty and ignorance which tyranny produces). In Iraq we are killing jihadoterrorists and we are constructing a society which will diminish the appeal of jihadoterrorism, and which will inspire other peoples and other nations - which are under the thrall of tyranny - to become free - as in Lebanon.
Joe Wilson - andf those who use him - are using LIES in a YEARS OLD attempt to show that the war was not justified. They are wrong. I think I have proven they are wrong, FOR EVEN IF BUSH NEVER MENTIONED AFRICA AND URANIUM IN HIS SOTU, USING FORCE TO OUST SADDAM WAS RIGHT! And in September of 2002 - BEFORE Congress authorized Bush to use force to oust Saddam - Bush spoke to the UNGA and gave a long laundry list of reasons why Saddam had to go, and why his exit would lead to the spread of democracy and proerity and peace.
People like Joe Wilson and Dean and Pelosi ignore the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act and the SEPTEMBER 2002 speech AND the OCTOBER 2002 Joint Congressional Resolution authorizing the use of force against Saddam, (AND MERELY FOCUS ON ONE SENTENCE IN A 2003 SOTU).
People like Joe Wilson and Dean and Pelosi (and Bill Clinton) are bad for our national security. They are untrustworthy, cowardly, mendacious self-serving jerks who have directly and indirectly aided our enemies. Wilson is one of the worst culprits; he has used outright LIES to try to cast a negative light on Bush's courageous decision to use force to oust Saddam. Wilson should go on trial after Saddam!
ADDENDUM: the FACT that Saddam should have been removed will NOT be changed ONE IOTA even if Rove and/or Libby are indicted FOR ANYTHING. But that will not stop the Left - and the MSM they still dominate - from spinning any indictments as "proof that Bush lied, and people died - needlessly, (or for oil)."
RAMPAGING REDISTRIBUTIONISM RUINING SOUTH AMERICA
FROM PUBLIUS:
SOCIALIST REDISTRIBUTION
Miguel Buitrago of MABB on Bolivia has a chart showing that the regions in Bolivia that receive the most and the least government spending.
Guess which ones are the richest and which ones are the poorest? Go see here. For those who claim more government spending means more wealth, that the rich are only rich at the expense of the poor, that there is only so much to go around, that the economic pie is only a matter of slicing and not expanding, that redistribution from rich to poor is the only answer, there are going to be some surprises. But for fans of Hayek and Bastiat, the classical economics about the nature of government spending and how the more government expands, the less private sector there is, it's a full-page advertisement for the free market.
He's got links to stuff about Bolivia and Venezuela - and how they're being DESTROYED by the same thing that turned RICH RHODESIA into IMPOVERISHED ZIMBABWE: redistributionism. RTWT.
PREDICTION: WHEN FITZGERALD ANNOUNCES THERE WILL BE NO INDICTMENTS IN PLAMEGATE...
PREDICTION: WHEN FITZGERALD ANNOUNCES THERE WILL BE NO INDICTMENTS IN PLAMEGATE, THE LEFT WILL CALL FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO INVESTIGATE THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR!
See below...
PLAMEGATE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WON'T ISSUE REPORT
FITZGERALD WON'T BE ISSUING A FINAL REPORT. Well,, er... um, he can't; it would be ILLEGAL! Anyhow, he PROBABLY won't be indicting anyone either, becasue NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED!
PREDICTION: WHEN FITZGERALD ANNOUNCES THERE WILL BE NO INDICTMENTS, THE DEM/LEFT WILL CALL FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO INVESTIGATE THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR! Heh!
SERIOUSLY: the SOTU in question - the one mendacious Joe Wilson referred to in his INFAMOUS NYTIMES Op-Ed - was delivered to a joint session of Congress in January 2003, just a few months before the war to oust Saddam. (IMPORTANTLY: Bush NEVER said the word "Niger" in the speech, and specifically cited British intelligence which the Lord Butler Report investigated after the war and found to be valid).
Congress gave Bush the AUTHORITY AND POWER TO MAKE WAR IN OCTOBER OF 2002. Three months BEFORE the SOTU in question!
Therefore, the Dem/Left's contention that Bush MISLED us into war, and that the 16 word-sentence in which cited British intel' was a key part of Bush's deliberate "over-hyping" of the potential of Saddam's WMD threat IS ENTIRELY BOGUS.
Since this charge is BOGUS, there is ABSOLUTELY NO MOTIVATION for Bush or Rove or Cheney or Libby to have to go to ANY EXTREME to discredit Joe Wilson; his charges were untrue; his report did not show what he claimed it showed in his NYTIMES Op-Ed, and there was no need to punish him or his wife or anyone.
The charge that Bush/Rove/Cheney/Libby were "OUT TO GET JOE WILSON" is merely a figment of the idiotically paranoid and confused Left - which has ALWAYS argued that AshKKKroft and SmirkingchimpBusHitler were bigger threats to the USA than Saddam or jihadoterrorism and islamofascism.
On top of that, Bush repeatedly said that we could not wait for the threat to become IMMINENT, and had to act preventatively, BEFORE Saddam had any nuclear weapons, (an ambition he definitively had). So to criticize Bush for acting too soon/"RUSHING TO WAR" - BEFORE an imminent threat was apparent - is too make the charge DOUBLY BOGUS. We did NOT rush to war on deliberately slanted intel'.
That all this criticism of Bush is coming down NOW - JUST AFTER THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ HAS APPROVED A CONSTITUTION AND IS EMERGING AS THE FIRST TRUE ARAB DEMOCRACY - is a shameful sickening display of irrational Bush hatred and self-loathing by a political faction which has almost always taken the side of our enemies and has loathed everything America has always stood for - it is a shameful display of anti-0libertarianism by the prescriptionary statists, the groupist utopianists, and redistributionary elitists of the Left.
Now is the time we should all be rejoicing and praising Bush's courage and the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces.
May God Bless America, and help the Iraqis achieve democracy and liberty and prosperity and peace.
AND MAY WE ALL SOON FORGET THIS WHOLE PLAMEGATE SIDESHOW!

BUSH NUMBERS ARE LOW BECAUSE THE BIASED MSM DELIBERATELY EXACERBATES ANGST
VDH has written another BRILLIANT essay; RTWT. HERE ARE A FEW KEY EXCERPTS:
Americans — never more affluent or privileged — are in a gloomy mood. ... In sheer numbers, more people are working than at any time in our history. Home ownership is at record levels. We haven't been attacked in more than four years.
And yet even low unemployment, low inflation and low interest rates have not brought the public a sense of calm, given the worry over energy costs, national debt and the war abroad. Usually such angst — less than half the population expresses confidence in the administration — would lead to the opposition's advantage. It hasn't, as the Democrats are offering no systematic alternative to meet the growing anguish.
And the fatalism of a normally can-do public grows. Voters no longer trust once tight-fisted Republicans to balance the budget, while the old war party of Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy is no longer credible on national security.
The voters want to both expand traditional domestic energy sources and to curtail consumption, but the two horn-locked parties see these solutions as either/or rather than compatible.
The result of this petrified leadership is that while things are not nearly as bad as they seem, the public in its frustration feels they are far worse.
ME: If the MSM were not dominated by the Left (as NEWSWEEK editor Evan Thomas -- son of famous Lefty Norman Thomas -- asserted in 2004, and as ALL studies prove -- more HERE and HERE and HERE) then the public would FEEL better about where we're at right now. And Bush's poll numbers would reflect that. mThe MSM is DELIBERATELY tryoing to foment a GLOOMY MOOD in order to drive Bush's numbers down and thereby help their Dem/Left comrades.
Take for instance that the current economic numbers on unemployment, employment, inflation, home ownership ARE ALL GREAT - as good OR BETTER as during the "boom-boom" Clinton Years. Yet the MSM NEVER plays it that way; they have always consistently portrayed the economy as doing badly. This has depressed Bush's numbers, too. As does the incessant negative reporting about Iraq; the MSM NEVER reports any good news; they just give a running body count. Even the election and referendum were reported in muted ways, and SHEESH: these two elections were the two of the most important POSITIVE events in the CENTURY!
NOT TO WORRY: (as VDH points out) as long as the Dem/Left fails to articluate a viable alternative set of policies which reflect our CURRENT situation - (AND NOT MERELY A KNEE-JERK REACTIONARY DEFENSE OF FDR/LBJ DOMESTIC POLICIES, AND NEO-ISOLATIONIST ECONOMIC POLICIES AND AN OVER-EMPHASIS OF MULTILATERAL PROCESSES AND INSTITUTIONS) - the Dem/left will fail to achieve a majority.
BIRD FLU AND EUROPE: why Katrina and Europe's 2003 heat Wave prove that Europe is headed for another socialist genocide
The UK's Health Minister has said she is completely satisfied with her nation's preparations for the possible Bird Flu Pandemic. BBC:
British is one of the best prepared countries to deal with a human pandemic of bird flu should one occur, the Health Secretary has told MPs. Patricia Hewitt was confident enough was being done and stressed the disease was "no direct threat" to humans yet. Antiviral drugs are being stockpiled, vaccine research is underway and UK experts are going to South East Asia to see how an outbreak might be tackled. ... On Sunday, Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson warned if such a mutation did happen a bird flu pandemic could kill 50,000 people in the UK. But he said this was unlikely to happen this winter. Patricia Hewitt told the House of Commons on Monday Britain was doing all it should be to prepare for any future outbreak. "I'm satisfied that we are making exactly the preparations that we need." The UK has so far stockpiled 2.5m doses of anti-viral drugs. Ms Hewitt said the government was also procuring two to three million doses of vaccine against H5N1 as "a precautionary measure". Although this probably would not protect against a mutant strain that is able to spread easily between humans, it could be used in research and be given to priority groups, such as health service workers, until experts are able to make a more exact vaccine.
I am NOT so hopeful about the preparations in the UK -- or the EU for that matter. The UK's NHS (the socialist health service) is already a shoddy, poorly run outfit - itself the target of countless scandals and shortfalls in areas of routine care (like the inability to give antibiotics to probable STD patients for weeks because of test-result delays!) - HOW CAN THEY HANDLE A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS?! What makes them think they can!? Pure socialist hubris.
The people of the continent of Europe are also victimized by a poorly run socialist medical system - REMEMBER: 45,000 people DIED in the 2003 heat wave! [ASIDE: That's 45 TIMES more than the number of Coalition Troops who have died in 3 1/2 years in Afganistan and Iraq! In a frigging little heat wave!] On top of that, the EU has eliminated most of its border controls, controls which MIGHT have been useful in "putting on the brakes" of any outbreak.
That's why I expect the UK and the EU to be utterly devastated IF there is a pandemic of human-to-human transmissable Bird Flu. Their public health systems suck.
The Left of the EU will continue to deny this, of course. Like Gerhard Schroeder, who had the audacity to lash out at America in his farewell speech, and specifically deride the USA because, in his mind (and as portrayed by the left-wing dominated MSM), Katrina exposed the heartless incompetencies of American-style "small government" and proved that Euro-style "big government"/socialism was better at handling public crises. BAH HUMBUG! Katrina exposed incompetence and corruption at the LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT - specifically in Nawlins and Louisiana, and even with those horrifically inept responses Katrina only killed 1100 people (in an area the size of Great Britain!). Contrast this to the relatively BENIGN 2003 heatwave, which in socialist Deutschland alone killed 7000!
As I said before: This does NOT bode well for the socialist EU! YUP: I'd say that the Katrina/Heat-Wave comparison proves that the EU is MOST LIKELY headed for a horrendously huge health crisis, and perhaps millions and millions dead if AND WHEN the Bird Flu mutates in a strain that's transmissable from human-to-human.

Sabres Notebook: Larsson gets his season opener
Johan Larsson chips the puck by Colorado's Erik Johnson during the first period Thursday in KeyBank Center. (Sharon Cantillon/Buffalo News)
By Mike Harrington|Published Thu, Oct 11, 2018 |Updated Thu, Oct 11, 2018
A week later than most everyone else on the Buffalo Sabres, Johan Larsson got to play in his personal season opener Thursday night in KeyBank Center.
After taking a shot to the leg in the Sept. 26 exhibition game in Pittsburgh, Larsson felt well enough to return to the lineup for the Sabres' game against the Colorado Avalanche.
The twist was that Larsson, mostly a center since joining the Sabres in 2013, spent the game on left wing to provide some sheltering for rookie Casey Mittelstadt. Newcomer Remi Elie was a healthy scratch so Larsson could return.
"He's been out for over two weeks now, worked his way back in and we want to get him a game," coach Phil Housley said of Larsson. "He can help out on the faceoffs, he can help out on the penalty kill. He's playing with Casey and Tage Thompson, which will bring some stability to that line."
"It's always tough to sit out," Larsson said. "… I'm just going to try to come in and help the team again. I can play both spots. I'm comfortable with both."
Mittelstadt, being brought along slowly in his first full NHL season, welcomed the chance to play with Larsson.
Five Things to Know as Sabres host Avalanche
"It's huge for me," Mittelstadt said. "He's played center and wing in his career and it definitely helps me a lot. Coming back (into the defensive zone) sometimes, if he's back first he can go low and I can cover his spot on the wing or vice versa. He's a good faceoff guy too so that helps me as well."
The line had the Sabres' best scoring chance in the first seven minutes of the game as Mittelstadt's shot was stopped by Colorado goalie Semyon Varlamov and Larsson, cruising behind the goal line, just failed to tuck the rebound behind the goalie and into the net.
Two pieces of the Sabres' 2015 trade with Colorado for Ryan O'Reilly remain in the Colorado lineup.
J.T. Compher, who never played a game for the Sabres, entered the game with two goals thus far while centering the fourth line. Defenseman Nikita Zadorov, who played 67 games in Buffalo, had no points and a minus-3 rating on defense. He was averaging 14:53 per game while playing on the third pair with Mark Barberio.
Mittelstadt and fellow Sabres rookie Rasmus Dahlin joined veteran Marco Scandella in spending part of Wednesday at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center visiting Courage of Carly patients.
"It's a tough time for them to go through," Mittelstadt said. "Us going to talk to them even for a minute or two is a good two minutes for them. To see them smile is definitely cool. To brighten their day for two minutes is definitely important.
"It was cool to see those guys smile, jump around, have some fun with them, try to keep their day a little lighter and a little brighter."
This is what we would call a great way to start a successful @NHL career! Thank you @CMittelstadt & @rasmusdahlin00 for visiting our @CourageofCarly patients today. pic.twitter.com/SsJy3bxazJ

The Avalanche hit town in the midst of a bizarre stretch to the schedule. They played Tuesday in Columbus, then were headed back to Denver after meeting the Sabres for a game Saturday night against Calgary. That game is on the schedule to accommodate "Hockey Night in Canada."
After that, it's right back to the East Coast for another roadie that starts Tuesday in New York and includes stops in New Jersey, Carolina and Philadelphia.
"It's not the ideal situation, right?," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said here Thursday morning. "We're trying to break it out. We're not looking at it like six of seven on the road. It's a two-game swing. Being rested helps. We've kept our practices a little bit shorter."
The Avalanche and New Jersey Devils both made the playoffs last year after finishing last in their conferences the year before. It's the path the Sabres are hoping to take this season and it's not an altogether unusual one.
The Devils and Avs became the 27th and 28th teams since conferences were introduced in 1974 that did the last-place-to-playoffs trick. It's happened nine times since the 2005 lockout — and four straight last-place teams have done it.
In addition to the 2017-18 Devils and Avalanche, the 2016-17 Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers both went to the playoffs after finishing last in their conferences in 2016.

GoFundMe has launched Government Shutdown Direct Relief Fund to help the government employees affected by the partial shutdown.
The campaign has already garnered USD 87,680 of its USD 125,000 goal.
Amidst the US government shutdown, federal employees and their supporters have been setting up GoFundMe campaigns to get help with expenses. Now, the crowdfunding site has decided to launch its own campaign to help the workers.
GoFundMe has launched Government Shutdown Direct Relief Fund to help the government employees affected by the partial shutdown, Cnet reported.
The campaign has already garnered USD 87,680 of its USD 125,000 goal. Author and speaker Deepak Chopra has collaborated with GoFundMe for the campaign.
Donations to the campaign will go to several non-profits that offer direct assistance to the government workers who have been forced to work without pay.
The shutdown started in December because the House and Senate couldn't come to an agreement over funding President Donald Trump's USD 5 billion border wall. This has led to over 4,20,000 government staff reportedly working without pay.

Q: Reading tab-separated values from text file into array Hey I am quite new to C++ and I am facing a problem:
I have a textfile which looks like this:
500

1120

10

number1,1 number1,2   ...   number1,500

number2,1

.

.

number1120,1

So the first two values on top of the text-file describe the dimensions of the matrix. I now want to write a code, which reads all the files from the matrix into an array or vector of int values. I can read the first three values (500, 1120,10) and write them into an integer value using getline and stringstream, but I can't figure out how to read the matrix tap separated with a loop.

A: Something like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

// Assume input is 12,34,56. You can use
// getline or something to read a line from
// input file.
std::string input = "12,34,56";

// Now convert the input line which is string
//  to string stream. String stream is stream of
// string just like cin and cout.
std::istringstream ss(input);
std::string token;

// Now read from stream with "," as
// delimiter and store text in token named variable.
while(std::getline(ss, token, ',')) {
    std::cout << token << '\n';
}

A: You may consider to read the matrix line by line with a loop, and split the current line using a tokenizer (e.g. std::strtok) or a nested loop that splits the line at your delimiters.
There is a thread about tokenizers.

Q: How can I get the default client certificate of chrome and use it in postman? I am using postman to make requests to a certain API however that API uses a bot protection. (Cloudfare)
I noticed that it blocks my requests if I send them from Postman, but it doesn't if I send the exact same request in chrome. The way it blocks is that it detects this with the client certificate.
How can I get the default client certificate what chrome uses and use it inside postman.

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、プラスチック練り込み用などに用いられる金属的光輝性色感の優れた一次着色メタリック顔料、或いは塗料用などに用いられる耐水性、耐薬品性で金属的光輝性色感の優れた二次着色メタリック顔料およびこれらの製造方法に関する。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention [relates] has excellent primary colored metallic pigment, or water resistance for use in such paints metallic luster color feeling for use in such a lump of plastic kneading, in chemical resistance about excellent secondary colored metallic pigment and a process for their production of metallic luster color feeling.
メタリック感覚の美粧効果を得るため、アルミニウム微粉末等のメタリック顔料が広く使用されているが、近年、種々な色調を有する着色メタリック顔料が開発されてきている。 To obtain a beautification effect of metallic feeling, although metallic pigment aluminum fine powder and the like are widely used in recent years, colored metallic pigment has been developed having various color tones.
上記着色メタリック顔料は、一般にメタリック顔料の表面に着色顔料を含有した樹脂皮膜を形成したもので、例えば、溶剤に可溶な樹脂を揮発性溶剤に溶解した溶液中に、メタリック顔料および着色顔料を混合分散させ、この混合物を噴霧乾燥させてメタリック顔料の表面に着色顔料を含有した樹脂皮膜を形成させるか、或いは、二重結合を有するモノマーは可溶でこのモノマーを重合したポリマーは不溶となる有機溶剤中に、上記モノマー、メタリック顔料および着色顔料を添加混合した後、これに重合開始剤を加えて上記モノマーを重合させ、メタリック顔料の表面に着色顔料を含有する樹脂層を形成させてつくられる。 The coloring metallic pigments is generally obtained by forming a resin film containing a color pigment on the surface of the metallic pigment, for example, in a solution prepared by dissolving a resin soluble in a volatile solvent in the solvent, the metallic pigment and colored pigments mixed and dispersed, either to form a mixture resin film containing a coloring pigment spray dried on a surface of the metallic pigment, or monomer polymer obtained by polymerizing this monomer soluble becomes insoluble having a double bond in an organic solvent, after adding and mixing the monomer, metallic pigments and coloring pigments, by adding a polymerization initiator thereto to polymerize the monomers, attached to form a resin layer containing a coloring pigment to the surface of the metallic pigment It is.
しかし、前者または後者の方法で得られた着色メタリック顔料は、いずれも着色顔料を含有する樹脂層で被覆されたメタリック顔料(以下Aという)と、着色顔料のみが樹脂層で被覆された樹脂被覆着色顔料との混合物で色感が劣るが、これらを分離することは困難である。 However, the colored metallic pigment obtained in the former or the latter method, both the metallic pigment coated with a resin layer containing a coloring pigment (hereinafter referred to as A), a resin coating only colored pigment is coated with a resin layer Although color sense is poor with a mixture of a coloring pigment, it is difficult to separate them. また分離出来たとしても、前者の方法で得られるAは、顕微鏡的に一個一個のメタリック顔料が独立して着色されたものではなく、数個または数10個のメタリック顔料が凝集して着色された粗い粒度のものしか得られない。 Even though be separated, A obtained by the former method is not intended to microscopically is one by one of the metallic pigment is colored independently several or several ten metallic pigment is colored by aggregation obtained only those coarse granularity was. また、後者の方法によって得られたAは、着色度がうすく、濃い色のものは得られない。 Also, A obtained by the latter method, the coloring degree of thin, can not be obtained dark ones.
また、これらの方法によってつくられたAは、被覆樹脂層に着色顔料を含有しているため、着色顔料を含有しない単一の樹脂層によって被覆されたメタリック顔料に比較して、耐水性、耐薬品性が劣り、特に金属的光輝性色感のものが得られず、実用化されていないのが現状である。 Also, the A made by these methods, since the coloring pigment in the coating resin layer, compared to the metallic pigment covered by a single resin layer containing no coloring pigment, water resistance, poor chemical resistance, especially not obtained those metallic luster color feeling, never come into practical use at present.
本発明者らは、上記問題点を解決すべく鋭意研究した結果、メタリック顔料に、二重結合を有する1種以上のカルボン酸を熱重合した1個以上の二重結合と2個以上のカルボキシル基を有するカルボン酸(以下熱重合カルボン酸という)を介して着色顔料を化学吸着させると強固に吸着され、メタリック顔料の表面に着色顔料の独立した層が形成されることを発見した。 The present inventors have made intensive studies to solve the above problems, the metallic pigment, one or more double bonds and two or more carboxyl that thermal polymerization of one or more carboxylic acids having a double bond when the chemically adsorb colored pigments through the carboxylic acid (hereinafter referred to as thermal acid) having a group it is firmly adsorbed found that separate layer of color pigment to the surface of the metallic pigment is formed.
本発明は上記の発見に基づいてなされたもので、塗料にしたり、プラスチックに混練することによって金属的色感を発揮する一次着色メタリック顔料、さらにこの一次着色メタリック顔料を樹脂コーティングすることにより、上記金属的色感を損うことなく、耐水性、耐薬品性を有する二次着色メタリック顔料およびこれらの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made based on the discovery described above, or a paint, primary colored metallic pigment exhibits a metallic color sense by kneading the plastic, further the primary colored metallic pigment by the resin coating, the without impairing the metallic color sense, and to provide water resistance, a secondary colored metallic pigment and a process for their production with chemical resistance.
上記目的を達成するため、本発明の一次着色メタリック顔料においては、メタリック顔料の表面に熱重合カルボン酸を介して着色顔料を化学吸着させてある。 To achieve the above object, the primary coloring metallic pigments of the present invention, are the colored pigment is chemically adsorbed through thermal polymerization carboxylic acid on the surface of the metallic pigment.
また、二次着色メタリック顔料は、上記一次着色メタリック顔料を、さらにラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸およびラジカル重合性二重結合を3個以上有するモノマーよりなるポリマーによって被覆してある。 The secondary colored metallic pigment, the primary coloring metallic pigments, are covered by more radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid and a radical polymerizable double bond consisting of a monomer having three or more polymers.
これらの製造方法において、一次着色メタリック顔料は、熱重合カルボン酸およびメタリック顔料を有機溶剤中で攪拌し、これを過したケーキおよび着色顔料を有機溶剤の存在下で、混練混合或いは攪拌混合した後、余分な有機溶剤を除去してつくられる。 In these manufacturing methods, primary colored metallic pigment, and stirred thermal polymerization carboxylic acid and metallic pigments in organic solvents, which the cakes and colored pigments in the presence of an organic solvent spent was kneaded mixture or stirring and mixing , it made to remove excess organic solvent.
個以上有するモノマーおよび重合開始剤を加えて重合させ、これより余分な有機溶剤を除去してつくられる。 Number is polymerized by adding a monomer and a polymerization initiator having more, made to remove from the excess organic solvent thereto.
本発明に係るメタリック顔料は、メタリック顔料の各粒の表面に熱重合カルボン酸が化学吸着され、この化学吸着されたカルボン酸に着色顔料が吸着されて、着色顔料はうすめられることなく、層を形成しているので色が濃く、金属的光輝性を有する一次着色メタリック顔料となる。 Metallic pigment according to the present invention, the thermal polymerization carboxylic acid each grain the surface of the metallic pigment is chemically adsorbed, is the chemical coloring pigment is adsorbed to the adsorption carboxylic acids, color pigments without being diluted, the layer since the formation darker, a primary colored metallic pigment having metallic luster. さらにこの一次着色メタリック顔料をラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸、およびラジカル重合性二重結合を3個以上有するモノマーよりなる三次元化したポリマーによって被覆するので、金属的光輝性色感が損なわれることなく、耐水性、耐薬品性を有する二次着色メタリック顔料となる。 Further, this primary colored metallic pigment radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acids, and so covers the three-dimensional polymer consisting of a monomer having a radical polymerizable double bond three or more, be impaired metallic luster color feeling without a secondary colored metallic pigments having water resistance, chemical resistance.
Ag、Au等の金属単体、またはこれらの合金がいずれも使用可能であるが、実際には銀色顔料として広く用いられているAlが主として用いられる。 Ag, single metal such as Au, or alloys thereof are both usable, actually Al widely used as silver pigment is mainly used.
プラスチック練込用等には平均粒径1〜200μm、平均厚さ0.1〜5μm、塗料および印刷インキ用等には、平均粒径が1〜100μm、平均厚さ0.1〜3μmのものが好ましい。 Plastic knead for such an average particle diameter 1~200μm the average thickness 0.1 to 5 [mu] m, the like paints and printing inks, the average particle size of 1 to 100 [mu] m, it is preferable for the average thickness of 0.1 to 3 m.
ペーストは、表面が酸化しておらず、熱重合カルボン酸が粉砕時に使用した脂肪酸と置換して、Al表面に化学吸着されるので好適である。 Pastes, surface is not oxidized, by heat polymerization carboxylic acid is replaced with a fatty acid used during milling, it is preferable because it is chemically adsorbed on the Al surface.
本発明に使用される着色顔料としては、本発明で使用する有機溶剤に溶解しないものであれば、有機顔料、無機顔料のいずれでも良いが、熱重合カルボン酸吸着処理をしたメタリック顔料に安定的に吸着される吸着顔料である事が必要である。 The coloring pigment used in the present invention, as long as it does not dissolve in the organic solvents used in the present invention, the organic pigment may be either an inorganic pigment stably in the metallic pigment in which the thermal acid adsorption treatment there is a need for it is adsorbed pigment to be adsorbed to.

また、熱重合カルボン酸としては、いずれも二重結合とカルボキシル基とを有するアマニ油脂肪酸,大豆油脂肪酸またはアクリル酸を熱重合させて得られる1個以上の二重結合と2個以上のカルボキシル基とを有する熱重合カルボン酸を使用する。 As the thermal polymerization acids, both double bond and linseed oil fatty acid having a carboxyl group, soybean oil fatty acid or of one or more obtained by thermal polymerization of acrylic acid double bond and two or more carboxyl using the thermal carboxylic acid having a group.
上述のアマニ油脂肪酸,大豆油脂肪酸またはアクリル酸は1個以上の二重結合と1個のカルボン酸を有しているが、このようなものでは金属顔料表面への着色顔料の吸着は十分達成されず、これらを熱重合して得られる1個以上の二重結合と2個以上のカルボキシル基とを有する熱重合カルボン酸でないと、本発明の目的である金属顔料表面への着色顔料の強固な吸着は達成されない。 Above linseed oil fatty acids, although the soybean oil fatty acid or acrylic acid and has one or more double bonds and one carboxylic acid, adsorption sufficiently achieved color pigment to such things in the metal pigment surfaces Sarezu, unless thermal polymerization carboxylic acid having a one or more double bonds and two or more carboxyl groups obtained by these thermal polymerization, strongly colored pigments to which is the object metal pigment surfaces of the present invention do adsorption is not achieved.
特に1〜6重量部が好ましい。 In particular 1-6 parts by weight is preferred.
上記原料を用いて一次着色メタリック顔料を製造するには、先ず有機溶剤にメタリック顔料および熱重合カルボン酸を添加して昇温し、充分攪拌する。 To produce a primary colored metallic pigment with the raw material, first organic solvent metallic pigment and the temperature was raised by the addition of thermal polymerization acids sufficiently stirred. 有機溶剤の量は激しい攪拌が可能で、メタリック顔料の表面に熱重合カルボン酸が均一に吸着されればよく、厳密を要しないが有機溶剤100重量部に対しメタリック顔料10〜70重量部程度が用いられる。 The amount of the organic solvent can be vigorous stirring, it is sufficient that the thermal polymerization-carboxylic acid on the surface of the metallic pigment is uniformly adsorbed, metallic pigments 10-70 parts by weight approximately relative to 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent does not require strict is used. 温度は50〜150℃がよく50℃未満ではメタリック顔料の表面に熱重合カルボン酸が吸着されず、150℃を越えると化学吸着速度が早くなりすぎて均一に吸着させることが困難となる。 Temperature is not adsorbed thermal carboxylic acid on the surface of the metallic pigment is less than 50 to 150 ° C. selfishness 50 ° C., it becomes difficult to exceed the uniformly adsorbed chemical adsorption rate becomes too fast a 0.99 ° C.. 時間は温度が高い程短くなる傾向があり、適宜選択される。 Time tends to be shorter the higher the temperature is appropriately selected.
上記操作後、フィルタプレス等によって過し、外表面に熱重合カルボン酸の層が形成されたメタリック顔料(以下熱重合カルボン酸処理メタリック顔料という)を過ケーキとして回収する。 After the operation, I spent by a filter press or the like, to recover metallic pigment layer of thermal polymerization the carboxylic acid on the outer surface of which is formed (hereinafter referred thermal acid treatment metallic pigment) as cake.
次いで回収した熱重合カルボン酸処理メタリック顔料をニーダーに入れ、クロム鋼球等の入ったポットミル(小型ボールミル)を用いて有機溶剤とともに分散攪拌した着色顔料をこのニーダー中に添加し、混練混合或いは攪拌混合する。 Then placed thermal acid treatment metallic pigment recovered into a kneader, adding the colored pigment dispersed stirred with an organic solvent by using a pot mill containing the chrome steel ball or the like (small ball) during this kneader, kneading mixing or stirring mixed.
上記ニーダー内で攪拌して着色顔料を吸着させる操作の代りに、上記ポットミルを用いて着色顔料を分散混合させるとともに、これに熱重合カルボン酸処理メタリック顔料を添加しても行なうことができる。 Instead of the operation of adsorbing a coloring pigment was stirred in the above-mentioned kneader, together with dispersing mixing a color pigment with the pot mill, it can also be performed by adding a thermal polymerization carboxylic acid treated metallic pigments thereto. この際、有機溶剤の使用量は必要最小限にできる。 At this time, the amount of the organic solvent can be reduced to the minimum necessary.
〜0.03重量部加えると、さらに分散が良好になる。 Adding to 0.03 parts by weight, further dispersing is improved.
ニーダーに於ける混合攪拌に際しては、有機溶剤を添加するがその量が多いと熱重合カルボン酸処理メタリック顔料に対する着色顔料の化学吸着が不良となり、少ないと混合攪拌が困難となる。 In In mixing and stirring in a kneader, adding an organic solvent but becomes chemisorption of colored pigment is bad for thermal polymerization carboxylic acid treated metallic pigment and the amount thereof is large, it is difficult to mix stirred with small.
重量部が好ましい。 Parts by weight preferred.
重量部に対して1〜50重量部、特に5〜20重量部が好ましい。 1-50 parts by weight to parts by weight, particularly 5 to 20 parts by weight is preferred.
着色顔料が1重量部未満では色感が低下し、50重量部を越えると吸着量が多すぎて金属感を損なうばかりでなく、未吸着の着色顔料が残留して不経済である。 Colored pigments decreases the color sense is less than 1 part by weight, not only impair the metallic feeling too much adsorption amount exceeds 50 parts by weight, the coloring pigment unadsorbed is uneconomical remained.
平均粒度が上記よりも粗い場合は、比表面積も小さくなるので、着色顔料の使用量もそれに応じて減少せねばならないし、逆に平均粒度が上記よりも細かい場合は、比表面積は非常に大きくなり、着色顔料もそれに応じて多量に使用する必要がある。 If the average particle size is coarser than the above, since also small specific surface area, the amount of colored pigments are also to must be reduced accordingly, when the average particle size is finer than the above, on the other hand, the specific surface area is very large it is necessary to use a large amount accordingly also colored pigments. 上記操作は60℃以下で行なわれ、時間はそれぞれの温度によって適宜選択される。 The above operation is carried out at 60 ° C. or less, the time may be appropriately selected by the respective temperature. 温度が60℃を越えると、吸着速度が早くなりすぎ均一に吸着されにくくなる。 If the temperature exceeds 60 ° C., less likely to be uniformly adsorbed too fast adsorption rate.
有機溶剤を保有した状態で使用に供する。 Subjected to use while carrying the organic solvent.
これらのどちらの場合でも、未吸着の着色顔料を有機溶剤を用いて、デカンテーション等によって除去してもよい。 In either case these, color pigments unadsorbed using an organic solvent may be removed by decantation or the like.
上記一次着色メタリック顔料は、熱重合カルボン酸を介して、メタリック顔料表面に着色顔料が化学吸着しているものであり、樹脂で被覆する等により、物理的に固定してはいないため、塗料化等に使用する場合、激しい攪拌を行なったり、系内に熱重合カルボン酸又はそれに相当する様な物質が相当量含まれているときは、上記の化学吸着している着色顔料が、脱着してしまい本発明の特徴を失う。 It said primary colored metallic pigment via the thermally polymerized carboxylic acid, the coloring pigment in the metallic pigment surface is one that is chemically adsorbed, because such as by coating with a resin, is not physically fixed, paint when used at an equal, or subjected to vigorous stirring, when the thermal polymerization acids or the corresponding such substances it contains considerable amounts in the system, the color pigments are above chemical adsorption, and desorption put away lose the features of the present invention.
筆記用インキに使用した場合はインキの流れが良くペンのつまりがない。 If you used to writing inks it is good there is no pen of clogging the flow of ink. 又スクリーン印刷や捺染用に使用した場合にも、スクリーンの通過がスムースである。 Also when used for screen printing and textile printing as well, the passage of the screen is smooth. また本発明の一次着色メタリック顔料をプラスチックに練り込んだ場合、従来にない華やかな色合いのプラスチックが得られる。 In the case where the primary colored metallic pigment according to the present invention is kneaded into a plastic, non-conventional gorgeous shades of plastic is obtained.
さらに耐水性、耐薬品性で、しかも金属的色感の優れた塗料をつくることができる二次着色メタリック顔料が得られる。 Further water resistance, in chemical resistance, yet secondary colored metallic pigment can be made excellent paint metallic color sense is obtained.
本発明の二次着色メタリック顔料を製造するのに用いられるラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸としては、例えばアクリル酸、メタクリル酸、イタコン酸、フマル酸などがあげられ、これらの一種、また二種以上を混合して用いる。 The radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid used to prepare the secondary colored metallic pigment of the present invention, for example, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, and fumaric acid and the like, these kind, also two or more used as a mixture.
テトラメチロールメタントリアクリレート、テトラメチロールメタンテトラアクリレート等があげられる。 Tetramethylolmethane triacrylate, tetramethylolmethane tetraacrylate and the like.
また、重合開始剤としては、一般にラジカル発生剤として知られているものであればよく、例えばベンゾイルパーオキサイド、ラウロイルパーオキサイド、イソブチルパーオキサイド、メチルエチルケトンパーオキサイド等のパーオキサイド類、およびアゾビスイソブチロニトリル等があげられる。 The polymerization initiator generally may be those known as radical generator, such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, isobutyl peroxide, peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, and Azobisuisobuchi Ronitoriru and the like.
さらにラジカル重合性二重結合を3個以上有するモノマー5〜20重量部および重合開始剤0.1〜5重量部を添加して重合させる。 Be further polymerized by adding 5 to 20 parts by weight of a polymerization initiator 0.1 to 5 parts by weight monomer having three or more radical polymerizable double bond. この操作によって、一次着色メタリック顔料は高度に架橋し、三次元化された樹脂層によって被覆される。 This action primary colored metallic pigment is highly cross-linked, are covered by a three-dimensional resinous layer. この後、余分な有機溶剤を過、乾燥等で分離することにより、耐水性および耐薬品性に優れた二次着色メタリック顔料が得られる。 Thereafter, by separating the excess organic solvent over, such as drying, secondary colored metallic pigment having excellent water resistance and chemical resistance can be obtained. 上記二次着色メタリック顔料の製造工程において、上記有機溶剤の量が少な過ぎるときは、重合が開始すると反応系の粘度が高くなり過ぎて、着色メタリック粒子一つ一つに樹脂被覆する事が困難となり、複数個の粒子が重なって樹脂被覆され、塗料化した時にブツ発生の原因となる。 In the manufacturing process of the secondary colored metallic pigment, when the amount of the organic solvent is too small, the polymerization becomes too high viscosity of the reaction system to start, difficult to resin coating on each one colored metallic particles next, a plurality of particles coated with a resin overlap, causing hard spots occur when paint. 上記有機溶剤の量が多過ぎると製造効率が悪くなる。 The organic and the amount of the solvent is too large production efficiency.
上記反応において、反応系を窒素、アルゴン等の不活性ガスによって置換しておくことが好ましい。 In the above reaction, it is preferable to replace the reaction system by nitrogen, an inert gas such as argon. また、上記ラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸を添加してから、ラジカル重合性二重結合を3個以上有するモノマーおよび重合開始剤を入れるまでの時間は、密着性のよい三次元化された重合体を得るために少なくとも5分以上の間隔をおくのが好ましい。 Further, after the addition of the radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid, the time to add the monomer and a polymerization initiator having a radically polymerizable double bond three or more, good adhesion three-dimensional polymerisation body preferably placed at least 5 minutes or more intervals in order to obtain. 重合反応の温度は重合開始剤の種類によって異なるが、30〜150℃の間で、反応時間は温度によって適宜選ばれるが30分〜10時間の範囲である。 The temperature of the polymerization reaction varies depending on the kind of polymerization initiator, between 30 to 150 ° C., the reaction time is but 30 minutes to 10 hours chosen as appropriate depending on the temperature. 重合反応の温度が30℃未満では反応速度が遅くて経済的でない。 Temperature of the polymerization reaction is not economical slow reaction rate is less than 30 ° C.. また、150℃を越えると反応速度が早すぎて均質で強固な樹脂層が得られない。 Moreover, not homogenous and strong resin layer obtained reaction rate is too fast when it exceeds 0.99 ° C..
上記重合反応をラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸を用いずラジカル重合性二重結合を3個以上有するモノマーと重合開始剤のみで行なうと重合系が増粘し、攪拌ができなくなるばかりでなく、安定強固な被膜が得られない。 The polymerization reaction and carried out only with monomers and a polymerization initiator having 3 or more radical polymerizable double bonds without using a radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid polymerization system thickened, not only can not be stirred, stable not strong film can be obtained.
これは、一次着色メタリック顔料の表面を、前もってラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸で覆っておくことが必要不可欠であることを示すものである。 This indicates that the primary colored metallic surface of the pigment, it is essential to keep covered beforehand with a radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid.
100重量部、必要量の希釈シンナを混合することによって得られる。 100 parts by weight, obtained by mixing the dilution thinner the required amount.
エポキシ樹脂等が挙げられ、これらは単独で用いてもよいし混合して用いてもよい。 Epoxy resins and the like, which may be used in admixture may be used alone.
重量部未満であると、着色メタリック塗料として必要な金属的色感が不充分であり、又、100重量部を越えて用いると、塗料中の二次着色メタリック顔料の量が多くなり過ぎて、塗装作業性が悪くなるばかりでなく、物性も劣った塗膜となり実用的でない。 If it is less than parts by weight, insufficient metallic color hue required as a colored metallic paint, also when used in more than 100 parts by weight, too much amount of the secondary colored metallic pigment in the paint, not only the coating workability becomes worse, it is not practical become a coating film properties were also inferior.
希釈シンナーとしては、トルエン、キシレン等の芳香族系化合物、ヘキサン、ペンタン、オクタン等の脂肪族系化合物、エタノール、ブタノール等のアルコール類、酢酸エチル、酢酸ブチル等のエステル類、メチルエチルケトン等のケトン類、トリクロロエチレン等の塩素化合物、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル等のセロソルブ類等の一般有機溶剤で、これらの溶剤は二種以上混合して使用するのが好ましく、この組成は塗料用樹脂に対する溶解性、塗膜形成特性、塗装作業性等を考慮して決定される。 The dilution thinner, toluene, aromatic compounds such as xylene, hexane, pentane, aliphatic compounds such as octane, alcohols such as ethanol and butanol, ethyl acetate, esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone chlorine compounds such as trichlorethylene, in general organic solvents such as cellosolves such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, these solvents are preferably used in admixture of two or more, solubility this composition for coating resins, the coating film forming properties, is determined in consideration of painting workability.

Q: Is it possible to have more than one provisioning effect active at the same time? I just started out my journey in ESO. It seems that only one food/tonic effect can be active at the same time. Does this change later? If yes, how do I increase the number of effects active on me at any one time?

A: No, you cannot have more than one provisioning effect active unless it's a perk in the provisioning spot. This does not change later.


My first thought was, "that sounds fun!" Ha!
Hope you are healing well.
Healing slowly but steadily. *need* some playtime–as does He…the pressure builds in us both.
: "While /s is enjoying the hitachi vibe strapped to her thigh, may I instead recommend an Ohmibod?
You can find the device here.
I know, right? Don't you love how the antenna pokes out? Does it get any kinkier?
According to the reviews, all the cam girls are using them. Had to check it out (in the name of science of course). Search for ohmibod on xvideos [cough] for example. And lovers on opposite sides of the continent — not that I would know anything about that. But seriously, who still straps Hitachi's to thighs? That is so 2005. I mean…seriously. Christmas is coming. As it were.
hahaha…that might make me a ho ho ho…just sayin'.


Over the next few weeks I am going to be doing some reviews of Paleo friendly pre-packaged products by Julian Bakery. I am always keen to try out new Paleo products and have had my eye on Julian Bakery products for a while. I have used their Paleo Wraps before and have been really impressed (I even used then to create a blog recipe for Paleo Spring Rolls).
I was therefore very pleased to hear that more Julian Bakery products are becoming available in the UK. You can find out more about Julian Bakery and the products that they make in the Guest Blog that was featured on the website last week.
Today I am going to be reviewing the Julian Bakery Coconut Flakes, a Paleo friendly cereal. Look out for reviews on Paleo Wraps and Paleo Turmeric Wraps coming over the next couple of months. Alongside the reviews I will also be creating some recipes to give you some ideas and inspiration as to how you can use each product.
I have to say that it has been so long since the thought of eating cereal has even crossed my mind that I didn't know what to make of having a Paleo friendly version. I am so used to my breakfasts being made up of eggs and vegetables (which is often my favourite meal of the day) that I was not too sure if I could replace with a cereal. I then realised that I do like to have some Paleo granola as an occasional treat for breakfast and cereal is really not that different! It also got me thinking about how I could use it in recipes and then my cook's brain got quite excited about the prospect.
I can completely appreciate that many people who are considering switching to Paleo, or have recently done so, may well miss foods such as cereal and bread as these tend to make up the majority of breakfast foods consumed in the UK. It is this transitional period that Julian Bakery want to make easier and they refer to their products as "transitional products" for this very reason.
There are only a handful of ingredients and they are all 100% natural.
Coconut Meat, Coconut Water and Palm Starch.
Your first thought is most likely what is Palm Starch? You will be pleased to know that it is a natural gluten free starch that is extracted from the Sago Palm Tree. Julian Bakery uses a sustainable source of Palm Starch from the Philippines which is pesticide free and utilises a patented process to make sure that all the nutrients remain. This includes antioxidants such as Polyphenols (these are micronutrients which play a role in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases) and Catechins (a natural antioxidant) along with dietary fibre.
The Coconut Flakes are also produced in a gluten free facility so no need to worry about any cross contamination from other products.
Why Coconut Meat in Cereal?
If you were thinking of where to start with a Paleo friendly cereal you may not automatically come to the conclusion of using Coconut meat as the base ingredient. Julian Bakery has chosen to use Coconut meat as it contains health enhancing, Paleo friendly, natural saturated fats.
This makes them a perfect option for creating any Paleo friendly product.
The Coconut Flakes have an ample amount of fibre and a good dose of healthy saturated fats which is what you would expect given the main ingredient is Coconut meat. Whilst it is always preferable to have no added salt in your products the level of salt present in each portion is very small and I would not be overly concerned about this.
There is a small amount of protein provided but obviously this is much less than the amount you would be consuming by having a protein based breakfast such as eggs. I would not consider this to be an issue if you are having the Coconut Flakes for breakfast occasionally but would suggest adding a source of protein such as a handful of nuts to make it more balanced.
When you open the packet the contents look very similar to many other cereals. Light brown in colour but noticeably a bit thicker than I recall grain based cereals being (although granted it has been some time since I looked at any). Due to having a slight phobia of food with a soggy texture I have often preferred to eat my cereal dry so I decided to start off with eating a flake straight out the packet.
I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing I noticed was a lovely crunch and a good texture that didn't just disintegrate. The flavour of coconut definitely comes through (especially towards the end) with a slight bitterness that interacts well with the hint of sweetness. The closest thing that I can compare it to is probably a coconut macaroon; the kind I used to have as a child half coated in chocolate. I found myself reaching out for more which is always a good sign.
Next I tried with some almond milk. I was delighted to find out that they remain crispy and didn't go soggy (which was my main concern) and I enjoyed the whole bowl. I can certainly see the appeal to having the cereal as a snack between meals or as a breakfast if you are running late and need something you can eat and prepare quickly.
I was keen to see how the Coconut Flakes would work with other flavours and I layered in a bowl with coconut yogurt and fresh fruit; it tasted delicious and I have had this as a snack a few times over the last couple of weeks. This got me thinking about how I could use in more recipes and I was particularly keen to try it out in a few Paleo treats. I am so pleased that I did as it lends itself really well to sweet recipes. Over the next couple of weeks I will be bringing you some of my favourites so keep an eye out!
In the UK you can purchase Coconut Flakes from Amazon for £6.99. This will get you a 300g box which contains 10 portions of cereal. If you break this down into cost per portion it comes in at 69p per each bowl of cereal. Whilst this is more expensive than your conventional grain based cereal (which is full of cheap, processed ingredients) I do not think that 69p is particularly expensive on a per portion basis. Just by way of comparison, if you were to have the Coconut Flakes as a snack between meals this would be a cheaper option compared to buying a Paleo snack bar.
I am really pleased that I tried this product. It is not something which I would normally have picked out as I don't really miss cereal. I think this product will catch the eye of many people who are making the transition to a Paleo lifestyle and want a bit of help along the way in giving up some of their favourite foods. I would personally use the Coconut Flakes more as a snack (or as an ingredient in recipes) rather than a breakfast replacement.
I particularly liked that I could use the Coconut Flakes in various recipes and discovered that they have many more applications than just being a cereal product. I would purchase these again and will continue to experiment with using them in various recipes.
I read your blog very carefully and come to a conclusion that all info in the blog is very helpful to me in particular and all in general. I really appreciate your hard work and nice sharing.

Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson was honored by the Wyoming State Bar's outgoing president earlier this month as a "great Wyoming lawyer and a national treasure" and "a true rock star".
Immediate Past President Brad Bonner of Cody presented Simpson with the "President's Award" at the bar's annual gathering, held Sept. 9-11 in Jackson. Bonner picked Simpson because of the special impact Simpson has had on his life, his nearly six decades as a Wyoming lawyer and his extraordinary public service to the state and nation, among other reasons.
"I'm very lucky to be able to present this award to a very dear friend who also has been my mentor for a professional lifetime," Bonner said in his remarks.
He recalled getting seriously burned at a college kegger in 1986 — and getting an unexpected call from Simpson in Washington while he recovered.
The then-Senate Minority Whip invited Bonner to join his staff a year later.
Simpson is a partner in the law firm of Simpson, Kepler & Edwards, the Cody, Wyoming, division of Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C. and has been a member of the bar since 1958.
Bonner, of Bonner Law Firm and Yellowstone Mediation, is currently one of Simpson's neighbors in Cody.
Another Cody attorney, Jodie Thompson, was also recognized at the lawyers' gathering.


For the first time this year we decided to take our Year 6 children further afield on their residential visit! On the 15th June we all set off to the Isle of Wight for a fun packed week which gave all of the children fantastic opportunities to develop their independence and practice real life skills.
On our first day we had the excitement of travelling to the coast and then taking the ferry to the Island. We then enjoyed visiting Osborne House the summer residence of Queen Victoria and her family.
Day two and we visited the Lifeboat centre at Bembridge where we were able to see a Tamar Class lifeboat up close and find out about how it is launched and the excellent work that it carries out on The Solent. We then headed to Robinhill Country Park. The children were allowed some independent time in groups to go around and experience the park whilst having to keep checking in every half hour.
An amazing experience for everyone!
On Day three we went fossil hunting on the beach in Ventnor. The Isle of Wight has been famous over the years for giving up several dinosaur fossils so the children found this fascinating. We then headed to The Needles which was the highlight of the visit as we went right out to them on a boat. Less popular was the 200 steps that had to be climbed to get back up the top of the cliff.
Day four saw us heading off the the Owl and Falconry centre at Appuldurcombe House. We watched a very exciting display of falcons and kestrels and got up close to some very large owls. The children also went on a tractor ride around the estate.
Following on from this we went to The Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Here the children found out about the history of transport on the Island and saw old carriages being restored by volunteers. They then enjoyed a very exciting trip on a steam train.
On the Final day we packed up all of our belongings and made our way to We then headed to The Needles which was the highlight of the visit as we went right out to them on a boat. Less popular was the 200 steps that had to be climbed to get back up the top of the cliff.
Important Dates: Our Year 6 will visit the Isle of Wight on 27th June 2016 for five days!

Pontoscolex is a genus of earthworms in the family Glossoscolecidae, or alternatively, in the family Rhinodrilidae.

General characteristics
The type species Pontoscolex corethrurus has a circumtropical distribution, although it originates in the Neotropics, probably in the Guiana Plateau. It reproduces parthenogenetically, and under experimental conditions can complete its life cycle in about one year. Adults measure  in length.

Diagnostic characteristics
There are eight setae per segment, arranged in regular rows, at least in the anterior part of the animal, whereas in the posterior part the arrangement varies (regular, more or less irregular, or in quincunx). No pigment is usually present. Male pores and tubercula pubertatis are in the clitellar region. The gizzard is in the segment VI. Three pairs of calciferous glands of tubular-dichotomous (panicled) structure are in the segments VII–IX. Dorsal, ventral, supra- and subesophageal and subneural vessels are present. Lateral hearts are located in the segments VII–IX and intestinal hearts in the segments X and XI. The holonephridia have terminal sphincter. They are metandric and metagynous. The seminal vesicles are usually long and band-like, piercing a number of septa. Spermathecae are simple.

Shimon Schmueli, the founder of design consultancy Touch 360 said "Design is art optimized to meet objectives". There's a lot of wisdom in those words. Commercial design wants us to feel and act in specific ways while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

Oi, Brazil's largest fixed-line operator, reported a net loss of 3.359 billion reais ($858 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 late on Tuesday, 65.7 percent more than the loss it reported a year earlier. Total revenue fell 7.9 percent.
The company's total debt at the end of 2018 stood at 16.45 billion reais, an improvement over 54.62 billion reais at the end of 2017, thanks largely to debt restructuring.
Oi boosted investments 7.5 percent in 2018, the company said, expanding its Brazil's high-speed broadband to compete more effectively with the local units of Telefonica SA and Telecom Italia SpA.
