Opinion by Judge PIERCE[*]
Defendant, Thomas Whatley, appeals a judgment of conviction entered on the jury verdict finding him guilty of second degree assault on a police officer performed upon a sudden heat of passion. We affirm.
Defendant was a passenger in an automobile whose driver had been pulled over by police for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. After the car had been stopped for some time, defendant exited the vehicle and began to walk away.
A police officer recognized defendant as an individual wanted by police on an unrelated matter. According to defendant's testimony at trial, the police officer then tackled him from behind and arrested him. However, the police officer contended that defendant initiated an attack on the officer before his arrest. Both were injured during the arrest.
Defendant was charged with second degree assault on a peace officer. A jury found him guilty of this charge, but determined he had acted upon a sudden heat of passion which reduced the crime from a class 4 to a class 6 felony.
Defendant first contends the trial court erred in refusing to give his tendered instruction on the affirmative defense of self-defense. We disagree.
Section 18-3-203(1)(c), C.R.S.1999, states that a person is guilty of the crime of second degree assault on a peace officer when:
With intent to prevent one whom he or she knows, or should know, to be a peace officer or firefighter from performing a lawful duty, he or she intentionally causes bodily injury to any person. . . .
Section 18-1-704, C.R.S.1999, provides the affirmative defense of self-defense. It states in relevant part:
a person is justified in using physical force upon another person in order to defend himself . . . from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by that other person.
An affirmative defense is a defense that admits conduct leading to the act charged but seeks to justify, excuse, or mitigate that conduct. People v. Huckleberry, 768 P.2d 1235 (Colo.1989); People v. Reed, 932 P.2d 842 (Colo.App.1996).
The quantum of evidence that must appear in the record in order to warrant an instruction on an affirmative defense is "some credible evidence." People v. Saavedra-Rodriguez, 971 P.2d 223 (Colo.1998). That evidence may come from any source, even from the prosecution. See Case v. People, 774 P.2d 866 (Colo.1989). However, it is not error for a trial court to reject a defendant's proposed affirmative defense instruction if it is not grounded in, and supported by, the evidence. People v. Lucas, 992 P.2d 619 (Colo.App.1999).
Here, the prosecution's evidence established that, during an arrest, defendant assaulted and injured a known police officer.
Defendant elected to testify in his own defense. He specifically denied that he had struck the officer during the arrest. Again in cross-examination, he denied ever hitting, pushing, or kicking the police officer. At the close of the proceedings, the trial court refused to give defendants tendered instruction on self-defense.
As defendant's testimony indicates, he did not admit to having engaged in the conduct which led to the charge and then offer self-defense as justification for his action. Instead, defendant twice denied that he had committed any assault upon the officer. Cf. People v. Huckleberry, supra. ("[T]he essence of an affirmative defense is the admission of the conduct giving rise to the charged offense."). Defendant, when given an opportunity, offered no evidence of self-defense.
While the defendant stated that he had "wrestled around" with the officer, and had "pushed toward" the officer, we can not conclude that these comments amounted to an admission that defendant by his conduct he caused injury to the officer. See § 18-3-203(1)(c), C.R.S.1999. Nor is there any evidence in the record that he defended himself because he reasonably believed that unlawful force was about to be or was being used against him. Section 18-1-704, C.R.S.1999.
Therefore, under the totality of the facts in this case, we observe no error in the trial court's refusal to find that defendant had produced "some evidence" had to be produced to support his affirmative defense.
Defendant next contends the trial court erred when it allowed the prosecution to question defendant regarding his notice to the City of La Junta of a possible civil lawsuit based on injuries he received during his arrest. We perceive no error.
A trial court has considerable discretion in deciding questions concerning the admissibility of evidence and the determination of its relevancy, probative value, and prejudicial impact. People v. Moya, 899 P.2d 212 (Colo.App.1994). Absent an abuse of discretion, the ruling of a trial court concerning the relative probative value and prejudicial impact of the evidence will not be disturbed on review. People v. Gibbens, 905 P.2d 604 (Colo.1995).
A trial court abuses its discretion only if, under the circumstances, its decision is manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair. People v. Gibbens, supra.
Here, the prosecutor informed the court at a sidebar conference that he intended to cross-examine defendant about the notice of a possible civil claim he had filed with the City of La Junta for injuries he sustained during his arrest. His stated reason for this line of questioning was to show that defendant had an economic interest in the outcome of his criminal case.
Defense counsel objected, asserting that such evidence was irrelevant and that its probative value was outweighed by its prejudice. The court overruled the objection.
In cross-examination, the only references by the prosecution to the possible civil suit occurred in the following testimony:
[Prosecutor]: Mr. Whatley, have you, through your Agent filed a claim against the City of La Junta for $100,000 concerning the incident that occurred on the early morning hours —
[Defendant]: First I heard about it —
[Prosecutor]: Are you saying you have filed such a claim?
[Defendant]: I never have; this is the first time I have heard about it when I heard you say it.
The evidence in question here was admitted for a very limited purpose and was not of major significance in the trial. Further, defense counsel elicited much more detailed testimony on the subject in his redirect examination. Under these circumstances, we cannot say that the trial court's decision to admit the testimony was manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair. See People v. Williams, 40 Colo.App. 30, 569 P.2d 339 (1977)(scope and limits of cross-examination for the purposes of impeachment regarding general credibility are within the sound discretion of the trial court).
Moreover, defendant has failed to demonstrate any prejudice. The sum of defendant's testimony suggested that he was never aware of any civil action and was financially able to meet all expenses associated with the incident. Rather than impeaching his testimony, the testimony suggested he had no reason to lie.
Defendant also contends the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the charge based on a violation of the equal protection clauses of the United States and Colorado constitutions. We do not agree.
The United States and Colorado Constitutions guarantee equal protection of the laws. When two criminal statutes prescribe different penalties for identical conduct, a defendant convicted and sentenced under the harsher of the two is denied equal protection of the laws. Statutory classifications of crimes must be based on differences that are real in fact and reasonably related to the purposes of the legislative enactments. The General Assembly, however, may establish harsher penalties for acts that it believes have greater consequences, even if the differences are only a matter of degree. People v. Oliver, 745 P.2d 222 (Colo.1987); People v. Mozee, 723 P.2d 117 (Colo.1986).
At trial, defendant moved the court to dismiss the charge against him on the ground that the charge violated his right to equal protection. He argued that there is no reasonable difference between the crime of second degree assault on a peace officer and the crimes of assault in the third degree and resisting arrest. The court denied the motion. He renews this argument on appeal.
Section 18-3-203(1)(c), C.R.S.1999, states that a person commits second degree assault on a peace officer if he intends to prevent a known police officer from performing his duty and then intentionally causes bodily injury.
Section 18-3-204, C.R.S.1999, describing third degree assault, states:
A person commits the crime of assault in the third degree if he knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person. . . .
Finally, § 18-8-103, C.R.S.1999, states:
(1) A person commits resisting arrest if he knowingly prevents or attempts to prevent a peace officer, acting under color of his official authority, from effecting an arrest of the actor or another, by: (a) [u]sing or threatening to use physical force or violence against the peace officer or another.. . .
A plain reading of the statutes demonstrates that each has differences that are real in fact and reasonably related to the purposes of the legislative enactments. See People v. Oliver, supra; People v. Mozee, supra Conviction for second degree assault on a peace officer requires proof that the accused had the intent to prevent a police officer from performing a lawful duty. No such requirement exists for third degree assault, a lesser felony. Similarly, while second degree assault on a peace officer requires an accused to have intent to cause bodily harm, a conviction for resisting arrest requires only that an accused use or threaten to use physical force, regardless of mental culpability.
Further, second degree assault on a peace officer requires that an accused act with "intent" both in causing bodily injury to a person and in preventing a peace officer from performing a lawful duty. In contrast, the mens rea applied to causing bodily injury in third degree assault is "knowingly," a less serious form of mental culpability. Likewise, the crime of resisting arrest applies the lesser mens rea of "knowingly" to preventing or attempting to prevent a peace officer from effecting an arrest. See Blehm v. People, 817 P.2d 988 (Colo.1991); § 18-1-501, C.R.S. 1999.
The General Assembly could rationally perceive that these different crimes, each of which involves different elements and degrees of culpability, justify different penalties.
Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court's decision to deny defendant's
motion to dismiss. See People v. Oliver, supra; People v. Mozee, supra.
Judge JONES and Judge ROTHENBERG concur.

Mountain gorillas are a critically endangered species, with only about 880 individuals left in the world. One of the places these gorillas live is in the Virunga Mountains in East Africa, along the border of Northern Rwanda. Over the last year in Rwanda, at least 24 new baby mountain gorillas were born. To honor these amazing creatures, Rwanda had it's 11th Annual Kwita Izina ceremony. Now get ready for some cute overload, because here are some of the adorable baby gorillas (and their moms!) who were celebrated.

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Man Utd: Every 2021/22 Champions League away kit ranked
By Kobe Tong
Published: 15 Sep 2021, 7:30
The Champions League is officially back in action.
While the qualifiers, play-offs and group-stage draw might have whetted your appetite, there's nothing quite like seeing the players stand before the famous anthem in the competition proper.
And there are plenty of things for fans to get their heads around in the 2021/22 campaign with Cristiano Ronaldo back at Manchester United and Lionel Messi playing for Paris Saint-Germain.
Champions League kits
It will also be an opportunity for the 32 clubs to show off their new kit releases for the season, which is an annual process that is slowly coming to a close with the last drips and drabs of third shirts.
However, while we wait for those final designs to hit the shelves, we're happy to say that every single club in the Champions League group stages has already unveiled their away jerseys.
LUKAKU is WORLD CLASS! Chelsea 1-0 Zenit (Football Terrace)
Here at GIVEMESPORT, we have already ranked all 32 Champions League home kits and now it's the turn of the alternate releases, which are so often more bold and brave with their designs.
To do so, we're calling upon FootyHeadlines' fantastic overview of the European designs in collaboration with Football Kit Archive.
In 2011, Man City played which club in their first ever CL game?
Now, it goes without saying that the ranking is conducted in completely subjective fashion and my opinion on these jerseys is no more or less legitimate than your own thoughts.
Besides, a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to release these designs and we're delighted that all 32 of them will have their lovers even if I happen to prefer certain shirts to others.
Oh, and it's important to point out that the decisions are being made on the aesthetics of the design alone as opposed to any deeper meanings or tributes that might be emoted by the jersey.
Champions League 2021/22: Fixtures, Draw, Results, Odds, Scores And Everything You Need To Know
Ranking Champions League away kits
But anyhow, enough with the disclaimers, it's time to dive into the 2021/22 Champions League wardrobe and rank all 32 away kits from worst to best looking based on the opinion of yours truly.
32. Villarreal
Oh my goodness me. This is a massive no-no from me. The wild shades of red on a scatterbrained texture make this the worst-looking Champions League away kit in my eyes.
Image credit: Footy Headlines
31. Lille
This colour combination couldn't work any less coherently if it tried. The white and gold combination is alright, albeit unoriginal, but the huge orange sponsor really bulldozes the design of any merit.
30. Wolfsburg
Call me a broken record, but garish green colours simply don't translate to attractive kits, which makes for a pretty difficult scenario when you're designing Wolfsburg strips...
29. AC Milan
The miniature city maps as a nod to the 'Sport for Change' project is a lovely touch, but purely from an aesthetics perspective, this bizarre colour palette feels distinctly bland and stale to me.
28. Red Bull Salzburg
The yellow horizontal stripes on the navy background just scream cheap t-shirt to me and that's before I mention the completely overblown Red Bull logo that makes up half the jersey. Sigh.
Don't get me wrong, we're getting into stronger territory now, but we're always up against it when it comes to yellow jerseys and this Brugge effort feels so ill-fitting with the black and blue trimmings.
26. Malmo
Although this jersey largely just flirts with 'meh' territory, the completely unnecessary and random diagonal lines feel like one of the season's most redundant design flourishes.
25. Sheriff Tiraspol
Ok, so this is a long story because it's only now that FootyHeadlines have clarified the situation that we've been able to establish which of Tiraspol's kits is their home and away designs respectively.
As such, eagle-eyed viewers might notice that we accidentally included this in our home shirt list - apologies, Tiraspol fans - but that doesn't mean that the pretty vanilla design has grown on us at all.
24. Chelsea
The design is fine. The colour isn't. That is all.
23. Benfica
Meh, meh and more meh. I would have preferred this shirt a lot more if Adidas hadn't made the club badge black and white, too, but that still wouldn't have saved a largely safe and steady release.
22. Dynamo Kiev
While we loved this very same smudged texturing on the home shirt, it just feels so much more clunky and heavy-handed upon the navy of the away kit. It's by no means a bad design, though.
21. Juventus
I've banged on, on and on about how infuriating the '4XE' sponsorship has been on Juventus' shirts this season and it once again sideswipes a pretty solid design with a glimmering shoulder pattern.
20. Liverpool
What makes this jersey so frustrating is the fact that it's so run of the mill compared to the stunning 1990s design on which it's based and that's exactly why it continues to tumble down my rankings.
19. Bayern Munich
How have Adidas managed to plonk a black and gold kit finish so low in our standings? Well, for us, the bizarre kite-like design is the culprit because it just looks so forced and unnecessary.
18. Borussia Dortmund
White, yellow and grey with a boldly purple sponsor ensures that a typically smart and suave BVB template is kneecapped by a distinctly bewildering colour scheme.
17. Young Boys
Does it look a little bit like a goalkeeper jersey? Maybe, but the unabashedly wild patterning on the sleeves elevates an otherwise uninspiring design to the higher heights of our middle sections.
16. Manchester United
Again, like the Liverpool strip, this is a solid shirt that is let down by the fact it falls so far short of the design on which it was based. The 2021/22 version can't hold a handle to the 1990/92 inspiration.
15. Sevilla
Perhaps not as good as the United shirt, sure, but you can bet that it's far less anger-inducing. Just as smart, simple and sophisticated as you'd expect from a Sevilla release.
14. Inter Milan
Ugh. 'Frustrating' has been the key word for a lot of jerseys in this area of the list, but nothing makes me want to throw my toys out the pram more than Inter Milan's wordy and obtrusive sponsor.
I absolutely adore the throwback to the iconic snake design and this might well have finished in first place if it wasn't for an absolute essay of a logo that completely undercuts this superb Nike effort.
13. Besiktas
I'm a sucker for black jerseys, it must be said, so this Besiktas kit certainly has an immediate advantage, but the feather-like texturing and strong collar are certainly big plus points too.
12. Atalanta
Grass is green. Water is wet. Atalanta shirts are smart.
11. Zenit St. Petersburg
Gazprom and Zenit are one of those club-sponsor relationships that marry so, so well on a football kit and there's just something about the icy cold blue on a white background that looks so sharp.
10. RB Leipzig
We like it, we do, but just not as much as everyone else. The red, blue and yellow scratchings play a dangerous balancing act between looking like a world-class kit and more of a warm-up shirt.
9. Atletico Madrid
It's not as good as the home design, but we've got a lot of time for the paint theme that's going on at Atletico this season and how good do those shades of blue and red look together?
8. Shakhtar Donetsk
Orange and black looks badass at the best of times, never mind when it seamlessly marries to the Shakhtar badge for a kit so brilliant that it makes me forget about that darn Pari Match sponsor.
7. Barcelona
The shimmering badge on a lush and luxurious purple background makes this a feast for the eyes and just about makes up for the Frankenstein's monster that is their home strip.
6. Sporting Lisbon
Have I lost my mind? No, no I haven't, because there's something about this unashamedly bold shade of green that fits Sporting hand in glove and the black shoulder patterning is so neat and tidy.
However Puma have managed to deliver that stunning shimmer of purple, pink and blue on the logos is beyond us, but it's an absolute treat for the eyes on a simple white background. Superb.
4. Paris Saint-Germain
Speaking of predominately white kits with gorgeously simple designs, Nike have hit it out of the park for the ten-millionth time when it comes to PSG kits because this pink and black release is belting.
The Dutch giants are pumping out amazing kits like they're going out of fashion and while it might not compete with the 'Three Little Birds' effort, these blue and black stripes are superb nonetheless.
2. Real Madrid
My gut tells me that the scribbly, graffiti-like texturing should look over egged and messy, but my eyes tell me that it's an absolute stunner framed within dazzling shades of blue, white and gold.
1. FC Porto
Take my money. The various shades of blue effortlessly shake hands with the gold trimmings of the logo for an eye-popping design that shoots right up to the top of our list with some deft texturing.
However, try as we might to breakdown exactly why we think it's our favourite Champions League away kit this season, the best thing to do is simply bask in its greatness by checking it out below.
Which away kit is your favourite?
There's just so much more wiggle room when it comes to away kits, isn't there?
The talented designers and manufacturers across the industry are less bound by tradition and history, allowing them to let their imaginations run wild and really think outside of the box.
I guess that's why my dislikes and likes make for even stronger opinions in the alternate kits compared to the home versions and that, in turn, probably makes my ranking even more divisive.
However, fear not, because if that's the case then I'd love to hear what you consider to be your favourite and least favourite 2021/22 Champions League away shirts across our social channels.

Rich countries have made efforts for half a century to help people in poor countries catch up to rich-country standards of living. Those efforts have included giving foreign aid, encouraging overseas investment, dismantling trade barriers, and spreading ideas and institutions. That is, their international development policy has been to encourage the globalization of almost all factors of production—except labor. So far, this policy has failed to cause the living standards of most people in most developing countries to converge with living standards in rich countries. But the globalization of labor—greater mobility for workers across borders—quickly and massively raises migrants' living standards toward those of rich countries.
This paper argues that every rich country should consider its immigration policy to be part of its international development policy, and vice versa. A development policy that includes migration will be more effective; an immigration policy that includes development will better serve rich countries' ideals and interests. The paper also gives a non-technical review of new research on several common objections to unifying development policy and migration policy. One concrete way forward is for rich countries to greatly open up legal pathways for temporary labor movement.


In my talk I will discuss how genetic analysis now allows us to dissect both causative and predisposing genes for neurodegenerative diseases. Mendelian diseases can be found by positional cloning and sequencing... rare, high risk variants can be found by exome sequencing and burden analysis and common low risk variants can be found by genome wide association analyses. I will show how, when loci for disease are found, they map functionally into specific biochemical pathway. This property is also helpful in identifying new loci for which the statistical evidence is less than convincing. With regard to Alzheimer's disease, the well known mendelian genes are APP and PSEN1 and PSEN2. In addition to apoe, genome wide association studies have identified now nearly 20 loci which map onto four pathways, cholesterol metabolism, the innate immune system, endosomal vesicle recycling and protein ubiquitination. At the time of writing this abstract, TREM2, which is involved in the innate immune system and control of miscroglial activation is the only declared rare variant of high effect (o.r. ~5), but several other genes have data in the publication process. I will discuss these issues and update on the current state of play for Alzheimer genetics and describe how we can move towards the completion of genetic analysis.

Talion is brought back to life by an Elven spirit and is bestowed with new powers as he seeks revenge for the death of the people he loved.
Fresh back from a weeks holiday I feel as if my gaming interests have been reinvigorated. I bought a ton of games in the Steam sale and look forward to playing them all over the next… five years. In fact recently I've almost completely abandoned console gaming in place of hours on end of Spelunky and some multiplayer PC games, which just goes to show that the recent crop of game releases really hasn't grabbed my attention quite as much as I thought it would. Thinking ahead the only two console games I'm remotely interested in are The Witcher 3 and Forza Horizon 2, while I'm spoilt for choice right now on PC. Oh how the times are changing.
Are achievements spoiling your enjoyment of games?
There used to be a time when I loved the unique chime that sounded as an achievement popped, a time when I would battle through a game on the hardest settings just to hear it ring out and feel the sense of accomplishment as X amount of gamerscore accumulated into my total. Alas, the novelty of achievements have long since passed me by an now they serve only to annoy and distract me from immersion in a game.
The next generation of consoles is here at last, well at least it is the US with the PlayStation 4 going on sale yesterday. Over the next few weeks, us lucky Brits will see Sony's machine and the Xbox One from Microsoft launch. I was in Game in Cardiff a few nights past and saw the new look shelves heralding the imminent arrival of the new machines.
It made me think about the generation which is now the old-gen. The humble Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are but things of a bygone era now. In reality they will still be fairly important to gamers and the industry for a year or so yet as people wait for the inevitable price cuts or a wider range of titles to launch.

£429 in November. That was the message that I took away from Microsoft's E3 presentation this evening. I can't quite comprehend how they are going to justify that launch price, along games which are doubtless going to be a bit more expensive than they are in the current generation. What else grabbed my attention? The lack of any further clarification over the used-game market or online requirements further to what was revealed at the end of last week. I think that was sorely needed to be honest. I've got some brief thoughts on their event after the break.


"The [blood] oxygen levels she gets down to are something I've only seen in people who have had a cardiac arrest," he says. While most people have a blood oxygen level of about 98% and anything below 80% is considered dangerous, after five-and-a-half minutes without breathing Streeter's went much lower. The machine's measuring range goes down to 50%, which is itself "not really compatible with human life," Donoghue says. "Tanya went down off the scale."
To which I can only say...blimey. I hope she carries some kind of SOS tag explaining this. If she was actually in an accident and they were monitoring her blood oxygen levels, they might prematurely decide that she was dead.

i mean i really have no idea why i kept putting this off for some reason, but i am glad i finally decided to pick it up. It was so worth it. I can now add Victor Vale to my characters-who-just -want-to be-loved-and -i -will-love-them bookshelf.
This book focuses on Victor Vale and Eli Ever who as college students decide to test their thesis on EOs and it goes wrong when Victor kills Eli's girlfriend by accident. This leads to Eli turning Victor in and deciding that all EOs were damaged and needed to be killed. Victor on the other hand, plans his revenge on his best friend to get revenge for what he did. The book alternates between the events of the past and the present day, where Victor is about to make Eli pay.
Victor Vale is bent on getting revenge on Eli and probably spent every second, of everyday in prison picturing the day he finally did. However, he can't do it alone and gathers a crew consisting of Mitch, who is a huge, convict, with bad luck and hacker and Sydney. Sydney is a 12 year old, who has necromancy powers and was picked off the road by Victor after she was betrayed by her sister.
Eli on the other hand, is someone i wouldn't mind punching in the face a couple of times. He makes it his mission to kill all EOs because he thinks they're "wrong" , despite the fact that he himself is one. He is self righteous, and though i usually love a good villain, i really hate him. WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DECIDE OTHER PEOPLES' LIVES FOR THEM, ELI? WHO? JUST DIE.
Eli's "side kick" Serena, also Sydney's sister, is probably the best thing that ever happened to him. She is just such a goddamn queen. She is feisty, smart and beautiful. She needs to have a statue.
I honestly don't know how you guys survived the wait for the second book because i would have been six feet under by now. If you haven't read this, please make sure you do. You can thank me later.
I'm currently reading this book and LOVING IT!
i know! it's amazing, right? Believe it or not, Vengeful is better.
That's incredibly and terrifying at the same time!
Yep. You're gonna love it!

Q: Querying on Collection attribute in Corda I'm trying to search value inside Corda unconsumed states on a collection Field.
I'm able to search on String field using -
        Field uniqueAttributeName = MySchema.PersistentIOU.class.getDeclaredField("fieldname");
        CriteriaExpression uniqueAttributeEXpression = Builder.equal(uniqueAttributeName, "valueToSearch");

        QueryCriteria customCriteria = new QueryCriteria.VaultCustomQueryCriteria(uniqueAttributeEXpression);
        result = rpcOps.vaultQueryByCriteria(customCriteria, MyState.class).getStates();

Above worked fine when "fieldname" is String but I have another field which is List and I'm not sure how to search inside List for a specific value.
Please assist.

A: After a quick chat with @Roger3cev, we think the best way is to amend your ORM wrapper such that you have a parent - child relationship between the state and the list of fields you want to have in that list. Once you do this, you can use the JDBC connection available to you to query against the child state and then use the relationship to the parent to get the Corda state.

From 11 to 22 February 2019, the College of Europe Development Office successfully implemented the second edition of a two-week training programme on "Public Administration Reform and the EU" in Bruges and Brussels.
This course took place in the framework of the EU-funded project "EU Scheme for Young Professionals in the Western Balkans" (www.eu4wb6.com), implemented by the British Council.
Thirty young civil servants attended this course — five from each of the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, the Republic of North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
The course focused on strengthening knowledge and know-how related to Public Administration Reform processes in the context of EU accession negotiations. It also aimed at promoting regional cooperation, networking, and peer learning. This was achieved through interactive training sessions and simulations, fruitful debates and study visits to the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU.
Also worth mentioning is that the course included a panel debate on: "Regional cooperation, why does it matter and how to contribute to the process further?". During this event, experienced speakers, representatives of the European Commission and of five embassies of the aforementioned countries enriched the programme with their insightful presentations.
The College of Europe Development Office would like to thank the participants and the trainers for making this year's edition a success story!


Officially established in 2005, the Razer name is virtually synonymous with quality gaming hardware as they're recognized world-wide for their offering of peripherals and accessories used by amateur and professional gamers alike. The triple-headed snake logo has essentially become a fixture at organized gaming events.
Way back in 2006, they released the first DeathAdder gaming mouse and it was such a hit it's endured while going through a few iterations in the past 12 years – the last being the DeathAdder Chroma which we reviewed in 2014. The latest incarnation is the DeathAdder Elite, the successor to the aforementioned Chroma, and looks very much the same on the outside but brings a number of tweaks and improvements to freshen things up. Though it launched near the end of 2016, Razer recently sent us over a sample to see what we thought.
The Elite picks up where the Chroma left off with the same user controlled custom lighting options comprised of up to 16.8 millions colors to illuminate both the logo and scroll wheel edges. Also the same are the 1000Hz ultrapolling, a seven foot braided cable, and the familiar shape and size that's made it so popular. The updates start with resolution accuracy being upped to 99.4% via the eSports-grade 5G optical sensitivity where DPI sensitivity jump from 10,000 on the Chroma to 16,000 plus an inch per second tracking speed increase from 200 to 450. Razer dubs this as the world's most advanced optical sensor with true 16,000 DPI resolution – not software interpolated. The addition of two more 'hyperesponse' buttons that align directly behind the scroll wheel up the total to seven and all are programmable, though by default these adjust the DPI sensitivity on the fly up and down by using the front and rear buttons respectively, so no need to jump over to software to make adjustments.
Included in the product packaging is the multilingual product manual, a welcome flyer, and a set of Razer logo stickers. the user must download and install the accompanying software which is what we'll be looking at next.

Who Eviscerates The Turkeys Processed For The American Plate?
Dozens of men from Texas, with intellectual disabilities (guys with IQs of 60 and 70 in the words of their employer), wound up living for 30 plus years in virtual servitude in the small Iowa town of Atalissa (Muscatine County). They were there, a thousand miles from Texas, in order to provide grossly underpaid labor to a turkey processing plant in the nearby and larger Iowa town of West Liberty (a word that is mightily ironic in this instance). Dan Barry in The Boys in the Bunkhouse, Servitude and Salvation in the Heartland (HarperCollins, New York, NY, 2016) tells a riveting story of these men, called "boys" by nearly everyone in their hard-working lives, in his non-fiction account of rescue and resilience. His powerful and emotional narrative isn't simply focused on allocating blame but rises to an inspiriting level by finding the light in a tale of much darkness.
The ghastly exploitation of the labor of "the boys in the bunkhouse" began with arguably good intentions to give purpose to the lives of the intellectually disabled, who were mostly institutionalized in Texas state schools in the early 1970s. In Barry's words, the boys "wanted liberation from state school life."
Hill Country Farm, Thurman Harley (TH) Johnson's turkey ranch in Goldthwaite (Mills County) in east Texas, raised thousands of turkey hens. When they grew to be about thirty pounds in about 28 weeks, they were ready for artificial insemination because the top heavy turkey toms would damage the turkey hens during mating and were "not as efficient delivering semen." In eye-opening detail, Barry describes the laborious procedure from milking the ranch's toms, "with syringes filling up with semen and 'extenders,' a combination of saline solution and nutrients" to the insemination of the hens. The turkey ranch would become successful in training the men from the state schools to expertly assist in this task: "They caught these birds. They milked the ornery toms. They held down the terrified hens."
The labor of the men from the state schools was especially appreciated as a result of the termination of "a mostly forgotten government arrangement that allowed countless Mexicans to cross the border to work on American farms and ranches" known as the bracero program. The program had been regulated to some degree: "The Mexican guest workers could be hired only during a labor shortage; they could not be used to break strikes; and they had to be provided with decent food and housing, as well as free transportation to the border when their contracts lapsed." But the program "more than fulfilled its great potential for abuse," and Barry notes that the former US Department of Labor official who oversaw the program would call it "legalized slavery" explaining its termination in 1964.
In the 1970s, Barry writes that the turkey market was shifting away from east Texas, and TH Johnson and Kenneth Henry decided "the time had come to send the boys of Henry's Turkey Service out into the wider world, beyond the Texas border." They had been trained to be "turkey-savvy laborers" at Hill Country Farm and now could be contracted out "to do those high-turnover jobs no one else wanted to do, because the work was hard and low-paying and repetitive, a bloody, filthy, feathery mess."
Henry's Turkey Service had its employees "work turkey" in Missouri, Illinois, South Carolina and Iowa, and Barry tells the story of the 31 Henry "boys" who worked in the West Liberty, Iowa turkey processing plant and lived in the "bunkhouse" in Atalissa (whose welcoming sign on the road into the small Iowa town noted "POP. 271 & 2 GRUMPS").
Dan Barry is a master observer of details and his description of the evisceration process for a turkey on the industrial-style assembly line worked by the "boys" in West Liberty is explicit, and to a reader who is unaware of what goes into "processing" the various turkey products sold in a conventional American supermarket- likely shocking. Barry writes:
As each truck pulls to a stop in the bay, some of the men . . .reach into the crate, grab the forty-pound toms by the legs, and hang them by their feet on V-shaped metal shackles that dangle along an overhead conveyor. . . they fight back with their surprisingly powerful wings. The trick is to grab a foot with one hand, swing that plump body almost behind you, grab the other foot, and hook it.
The conveyor carries the shackled turkey inside the plant to be stunned in a shallow pool of electrically charged water, after which a device slits their throats to make them 'bleed out.' The carcasses are then immersed into a vat of scalding water, so hot that fans are needed to at least stir the humid air, and then pass through a series of mechanized rubber fingers to beat away the feathers. A worker called a 'cutter' removes the hocks [two hind legs], while others, called 'pinners,' pluck away any stubborn feathers.
The birds, fat and pink, plop onto tables, and the evisceration begins. Workers called 'rehangers' attach the carcasses by the legs to the shackles of a second conveyor-a critical moment in the process, dictating the pace of the assembly line. A missed shackle means idle moments, lost revenue.
Next in line, the 'three-pointers.' These workers grab the tail with one hand, the neck with the other, and put the head in the V of the shackle. Then a cutter slices a hole under the breast.
Once cut, the shackled turkey moves on to the 'drawers,' who reach into the carcass to pull down the viscera-the heart, intestines, liver, gizzard, and spleen . . .
A worker with the evocative job title of 'heart cutter' grabs the heart, still attached to the viscera, and cuts away the organ and the valve stem with air scissors. The heart is then sent down a pipe to join its visceral mates in the 'giblet cooler,' while the valve is thrown in the 'river,' the water-fed trough that carries away the offal.
The turkey then swings to the 'croppers,' who remove the bird's feed-filled digestive system. . .
There was a trick to pulling crop- or pulling guts, as it was sometimes called. [One of the boys who became an expert in this task, Henry Wilkins, explains] 'Take this finger up there, pull the skin apart, take both your fingers up there, pull it straight down. The crop's out and you throw it in the trough.' (pp. 88-89).
When Dan Barry saw the news reports in the spring of 2013 about the landmark $240 million judgment for 32 former employees of Henry's Turkey Service, awarding each of them $7.5 million for emotional harm and punitive damages, he knew he had an extraordinary story to investigate and tell. (The award was the largest in the history of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.) No surprise then, that Boys In The Bunkhouse climaxes with a riveting retelling of the trial and the pursuit of justice by government attorney Robert Canino, who invested his body and soul in the litigation.
But Dan Barry does not end his story there. Rather, two of the social workers involved in aiding the men who had worked in the turkey processing plant in Iowa realize that a brother of Carl Wayne Jones, one of the rescued Iowa "boys," was "still working turkey" at a plant in Newberry, South Carolina. Barry continues his narrative and follows the social workers to "a collosal gray-concrete meatpacking plant operated by Kraft Foods, the owner of the Rich brand." Through the efforts of the two social workers and the assistance of white hat EEOC lawyer Robert Canino, Leon Jones (the brother of the already rescued Carl Wayne Jones) is removed from the South Carolina "bunkhouse" by county and state officials of that southern state and provided with "proper housing and services," along with the opening of "several investigations."
Still, is the story truly over? Out of the corner of his eye, Barry observed "a young man sprawled on a Barcalounger and watching a Spanish-language television program at high volume (emphasis added)." This small detail caught this reader's attention and brought to mind Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, the bestseller that was made into a film by Richard Linklater which shined a light on the exploited immigrant labor in the meat packing industry.
In this reviewer's opinion, the story is never ending and it is fair to place some responsibility on the consumer to know where their food is coming from and how it is being produced. No simple task, but there is one particular way that it can be more easily accomplished: participation as a shareholder in a community supported agriculture (CSA) farm.
It's with some sense of relief to end this review by noting that the "good food movement" has reached into the small town of Atalissa, Iowa. The Tygrett family's Oakhill Acres CSA farm is a source for certified organic produce, small grains, herbs, honey and eggs (and is included in this website's directory of Iowa CSA farms). Atalissans and others in the eastern Iowa county of Muscatine can choose to know where their food comes from and the labor that went into producing it. (And for a turkey this Thanksgiving holiday, Eatwild's directory of 1,400 pasture-based farms is an excellent resource.)

WENDY, Thomas (1498/99-1560), of Haslingfield and Cambridge, Cambs. and London.
Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1509-1558, ed. S.T. Bindoff, 1982
b. 1498/99, 2nd s. of John Wendy of Clare, Suff. educ. Gonville, Camb., BA 1518/19, MA 1522, MD 1526/27; Ferrara bef. 1527. m. (1) by 1541, Margaret, ?da. of one Butler, s.p.; (2) 13 June 1552, Margaret, da. of John Porter of London, wid. of Thomas Atkins of London.1
Physician to Queen Catherine Parr by Oct. 1546-8, to Henry VIII by 1547, to Edward VI 1547-53, to Mary 1553-8, to Elizabeth 1558-d.; fellow, college of physicians 22 Dec. 1551, elect 1552; pres.

Thomas Wendy came of a Suffolk yeoman family, whose earlier provenance, as its name suggests, was probably Wendy in Cambridgeshire. The modesty of his origin is attested by the bequests in Wendy's will 'to my poor kinsfolk in Suffolk'. After taking his arts degree in 1522 Wendy probably studied medicine at Ferrara until 1527, when he was again at Cambridge; he had leave of absence for the year 1527-8, perhaps for the purpose of further foreign travel. Another bequest in Wendy's will seems to reflect early experience of Venice: he gave 'to one Aurelius of Venice whose father was called Battista a bookbinder sometime dwelling in Venice aforesaid at the sign of the Anchor in the Mercerie a sovereign of two angels if he be living'. Wendy was a fellow of Gonville Hall for his whole adult life and its president at some date before the rule of Dr. Caius began in 1559. No doubt his connexion with the university determined his choice of Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire, as his principal residence; he does not seem to have been active in university life, however, and obtained in 1538-9 licence dispensing him from lecturing in medicine or the arts except at his option.3
Wendy's medical practice was lucrative, his patients being drawn largely from the peerage or the royal family. His services were retained by Henry Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland as early as July 1534, when he obtained an annuity of £3 6s.8d. from Fountains abbey, Yorkshire, the grant being made at the instance of the earl, a benefactor of the abbey. Wendy was employed by Northumberland in a number of other capacities. In March 1535 he executed with the earl a deed transferring the Percy lands in Sussex to the crown. He carried a number of letters from the earl to Cromwell in 1536 and 1537 and attended him at Hackney in his last illness in June 1537. Wendy also received from the earl an annuity of £40 and a lease of two Yorkshire manors granted in March 1535 and still subsisting in 1559; this lease was virtually a gift for term of years, since the manors were valued in 1535 at £41 4s. a year and the annual rent payable by Wendy was a mere 6s.8d. The earl also tried unsuccessfully to secure Wendy grants of ex-monastic lands at Ickleton and Royston, Cambridgeshire. Wendy remembered the earl with gratitude and left his nephew Thomas Percy, 1st Earl of the new creation, in his will a silver ewer and basin 'in remembrance of such benefits which I have received at the hands of my very good lord and late master the late earl of Northumberland his uncle'.4
Wendy bought the manor and advowson of Haslingfield in June 1541 and settled it on himself and his wife, the feoffees including William Paget. The two men seem to have had a long friendship. Paget sent both his sons to Gonville Hall, where they must have come under Wendy's influence; it is even possible that Wendy introduced Paget to his wife, for he bequeathed Lady Paget his lands at Coton and Whitwell, Cambridgeshire, 'as a poor token of the good will which I have ever borne to her ladyship and in remembrance that in that place she had her first acquaintance with my lord her husband'. Wendy may have shared Paget's early Protestant sympathies; he is said by Foxe to have helped frustrate a scheme by Chancellor Wriothesley and Stephen Gardiner to have Queen Catherine Parr condemned for heresy, and Gonville Hall was at that time known as a stronghold of the reformers. Wendy was summoned to court in March 1546, perhaps to attend on the Queen; he was appointed her physician before October 1546, when he received a further grant of Haslingfield land, in return for the surrender of his £40 annuity from Northumberland. Most of the Percy lands were by then vested in the crown, which thus obtained exoneration from the payment of Wendy's annuity. Paget may have helped Wendy to this royal appointment, which in turn led to his being made physician to the King, whom he attended in his last illness; in that capacity he witnessed the King's will, under which he received a legacy of £100. William Butts, physician to Henry VIII until his death in November 1545, was a fellow of Gonville Hall and may have recommended Wendy to the King.5
Wendy was re-appointed royal physician for life in March 1547. In the same year he began his public service, which comprised numerous commissions in Cambridgeshire and elsewhere. The tempo of his land purchases increased; in September 1547 he took a 30-year lease of the bishop of Hereford's mansion adjoining Old Fish Street in London. He purchased, in January 1549, the fee simple in numerous ex-chantry lands in Cambridgeshire and Essex. In May 1550 there followed a similar purchase of two manors and an advowson in Cambridgeshire, worth £55 a year; the Privy Council ordered the chancellor of the court of augmentations to complete the sale for £400 cash and—an unusual concession— on to accept the rest of the £1,118 purchase price by instalments over four years. Wendy's last important purchase in Edward VI's reign brought him the manors of Ditton Valence, Cambridgeshire, and Kingsbury, Hertfordshire—his only known connexion with the latter county. The terms were even more favourable this time, for Wendy paid only £72 10s. to the crown for lands valued at £33 12s.6d. a year, or in capital value, at 20 years' purchase, at more than £600, the difference being treated as a gift to Wendy by the crown in consideration of his services. Wendy's remaining large purchases (in the following reign) may be noted here: in September 1553 he had licence to buy from the 9th Lord Clinton the conventual buildings of Barnwell priory, Cambridgeshire, and in October 1558 he paid the crown £300 for the fee simple in the manor of Chatteris, in the same county. On one occasion he was accused by Edward Slegge of making an improper use of his influence to obtain an augmentations grant of Cambridgeshire lands.6
The generally poor health of the monarchs whom he served from 1546 onwards must have redounded to Wendy's advantage. His election to the second and fourth Marian Parliaments was doubtless the result of royal nomination, for, whatever his religious views, he was hardly likely to act or vote in Parliament in a way repugnant to a sovereign on whom he depended so entirely and with whom he was in such frequent and intimate contact. To his first seat, St. Albans, Wendy may have been helped by Paget and by the young Henry Parker, a former student at Gonville Hall, son of Sir Henry Parker. The Parkers were a family of standing and influence in Hertfordshire and their backing, combined with the royal support, must have sufficed to obtain Wendy his election although it is possible that his first wife was related to another leading Hertfordshire family, the Butlers of Watton at Stone. Moreover, John Maynard, first steward of St. Albans and one of its Members in the previous and succeeding Parliaments, had a 61-year lease of the timber and wood of Wendy's manor of Kingsbury in February 1556, perhaps in reward for his support of Wendy's candidature. By 1555 Wendy was a considerable landowner in his adoptive county of Cambridge; this fact and his standing in the university city must have offset his modest birth. Although he had been active earlier in connexion with the Act touching the incorporation of physicians (1 Mary st.2, c.9), he is not known to have played any such part when himself a Member although he doubtless lent his support to the Act 'that purveyors shall not take victuals within five miles of Cambridge and Oxford' (2 and 3 Phil. and Mary, c.15), which principally affected the universities and their students.7
Wendy attended Queen Mary on her deathbed, as he had her father and brother. He sued out a pardon on the accession of Elizabeth, was reappointed royal physician, but died in London on 11 May 1560 and was buried at Haslingfield 16 days later. By a will made earlier in the year he provided 40s. for annual distribution to the poor of Haslingfield 'to pray for my soul and for the soul of my first wife'. Most of his lands, including six manors in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, went, after a life interest to his wife, to his nephew and eventual heir Thomas Wendy; there were remainders in favour of a stepson of Wendy's and two of Paget's sons. Gonville and Caius College was left Haslingfield rectory, and directed to let it to Wendy's nephew for £10 a year. In addition to Lord and Lady Paget and the Earl of Northumberland he also remembered Anthony Browne II, (Sir) Henry Percy, Sir Humphrey Radcliffe and Richard Weston. Wendy left the residue of his personal estate to his 'right entirely beloved wife', appointing her sole executrix, and naming four assistants or overseers. One of these was 'my friend Mr. Nicholas Purslow of the Inner Temple of London', to whom Wendy left £10 and a piece of plate 'in some part of recompense for his great pains taking for me in many of my causes and matters'. His immediate heir was his brother, John, then aged 50.8

Being A Dad And Raising A Daughter
Being A Dad and Raising a Daughter by Peter Moore
You have to look for the openings with a kid. When they come along, you recognize them somehow and flow into them. It's like in heavy traffic—the space opens, and you glide into it, even as you maintain speed.
Every kid is the center of the universe. We big people, whether parent, teacher, friend or elder, have to guide them to understand that everyone else is the center of the universe too. Our job is to listen and dream into that young being, teaching by truth, temperment and touch.
Earlier this decade, I spent a few years single-dadding it with my teenage daughter Jazz Minh. We were both so busy being the center of our own respective universes that it was a stretch to enter into each other's world. No surprise there, of course. True transpersonal communication verges on enlightened behavior, and neither of us was that. At 13, Jazz was as fully individuated as I was, and she had an agenda, even if she couldn't always articulate it. Though I had never been over the territory of raising a teenager before, I committed myself to being an engaged dad, to emphatically letting her know my truth and drawing her's out. The next five years combined moments of outrage and righteous indignation with incredibly tender occasions of love and pride-in-being for another.
I'd tell her, "Look, I know you're going to do everything. But no matter what you do, the most important thing is, you have to survive. No getting into a car with a drunk driver, no AIDS. But that's only the first part. Beyond survival, I want you to thrive." We visited this theme often.
Along the way we faced off on all the big issues—sex, tobacco use, theft, sneaking out at night, academics, drug use, household chores, authority, choice of friends. Probably one or two more, but I can't remember them all right now.
Our dad/daughter relationship was a journey into chapel perilous, an uninsured joyride down the highways and byways of "real life," though it got quite unreal and surreal at times. With no guarantee of any particular outcome, let alone happy endings, parenting is only for the brave or the foolish. Meanwhile, childhood is like a permanently altered state.
You have to look for the openings with a kid. When they come along, you recognize them somehow and flow into them. It's like in heavy traffic—the space opens, and you glide into it, even as you maintain speed. With Jazz, I kept looking for that special opening, the one that would combine the magic of her sustained interest and a creative possibility for her future.
For me and my daughter, the big opening happened during her senior year, the time Jazz disappeared up to Portland without my permission. When I found her note saying she'd gone to see her boyfriend, I was pissed. We had an agreement—she broke it. That evening, when I finally got her on the phone, I launched into my complaint with "We've been through this before, Jazz . . ." but she cut me off, explaining that she'd just attended a Portfolio Review Day. This was an informally juried event for high school art students, judged by art depart-ment personnel from various colleges. On the basis of the art pieces she'd rushed to put together for it that morning, she had been accepted to attend the art college in Portland, and Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. There was a certain quality in her voice. I stopped being mad. I stopped being right. I listened.
Jazz is 19 now and attends Cornish in Seattle. She has become this beautiful, intelligent young woman, and one of my best friends. Our struggles during those years changed a cute daddy/daughter relationship into a profound alliance. My notion of what love is and can be has been transformed in that process.
On reflection, I think adults also live in an altered, though slightly alienated state most the time. If we didn't, we would care about and contribute to the well-being of all children, as if they were all family members. They are the most defenseless of human creatures, they need the most nurturing, and our future as a species depends on them.
And they can drive us crazy. Young people will do everything on their journey to find out what's real. Being the center of the universe gives them the right to try anything, to break any rule. Even if your kid doesn't do it, someone else's will. This is the way of kids. Let's teach them to survive, so we can all thrive.

FINAL: Wild 2 Rangers 1
By Adam Rotter | Mar 13, 2014 | 10:35PM
First Period:
Nino Niederreiter (12) Wrist shot - ASST: Kyle Brodziak (15)
Second Period:
PPG - Derek Stepan (12) Snap shot - ASST: Ryan McDonagh (25), Rick Nash (12)
Third Period:
Zach Parise (23) Wrist shot - ASST: Jason Pominville (22), Mikael Granlund (29)
Adam's Thoughts:
The Rangers were better than they were against Minnesota but also played a much better team and a team with a good structure and defensive mindset. The Minnesota defense held the Rangers in check through the first two periods before the Rangers started pushing the pace a bit more and getting more chances in the third. They had some good chances to tie the game but Darcy Kuemper made some saves and ultimately it's two straight losses.
As has been the case at other times this season, the Rangers need a lot more from their top players, Brad Richards and Rick Nash especially. Some moments here and there but nothing consistent.
Marty St. Louis isn't exempt but he is at least getting one high quality chance per game. I think when he gets one his game will go to another level. Right now it seems like a lot of guys are trying to force him the puck and when he gets it he is trying so hard to make a play that its hurting him.
I thought Cam Talbot was really strong tonight and certainly gave the Rangers a chance to win.
Things don't get easier for the Rangers. Winnipeg is pushing for a playoff spot, San Jose is a top team the league, Ottawa is pushing and then it's a huge game next Friday against Columbus and then Saturday against the Devuls.

Future carbon regulations and current investments in alternative coal-fired power plant technologies
Energy Policy 35: 1064–1074 (2007)
Read at the source:
We analyze how uncertain future US carbon regulations shape the current choice of the type of power plant to build. Our focus is on two coal-fired technologies, pulverized coal (PC) and integrated coal gasification combined cycle technology (IGCC). The PC technology is cheapest—assuming there is no need to control carbon emissions. The IGCC technology may be cheaper if carbon must be captured. Since power plants last many years and future regulations are uncertain, a US electric utility faces a standard decision under uncertainty. A company will confront the range of possible outcomes, assigning its best estimate of the probability of each scenario, averaging the results and determining the power plant technology with the lowest possible cost inclusive of expected future carbon related costs, whether those costs be in the form of emissions charges paid or capital expenditures for retrofitting to capture carbon. If the company assigns high probability to no regulation or to less stringent regulation of carbon, then it makes sense for it to build the PC plant. But if it assigns sufficient probability to scenarios with more stringent regulation, then the IGCC technology is warranted. We provide some useful benchmarks for possible future regulation and show how these relate back to the relative costs of the two technologies and the optimal technology choice. Few of the policy proposals widely referenced in the public discussion warrant the choice of the IGCC technology. Instead, the PC technology remains the least costly. However, recent carbon prices in the European Emissions Trading System are higher than these benchmarks. If it is any guide to possible future penalties for emissions in the US, then current investment in the IGCC technology is warranted. Of course, other factors need to be factored into the decision as well.

Home artificial catalysts A significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts
A significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts
Scientists have invented an enzyme-like catalyst made of soft polymers (purple) and a hard palladium core (pink). When heated, the palladium chemically converts molecules of oxygen and carbon monoxide (yellow and orange) into carbon dioxide. The reaction stops when the polymers are saturated with carbon dioxide, a strategy used by living enzymes. Research is underway to develop catalysts that convert natural gas to methanol at low temperatures. (Image credit: Gregory Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)
Stanford researchers have made a significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts for making cleaner chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale.
All living organisms depend on enzymes – molecules that speed up biochemical reactions that are essential for life.
Scientists have spent decades trying to create artificial enzymes capable of cranking out important chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale with performance rivaling their natural counterparts.
Researchers from Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a synthetic catalyst that produces chemicals much the way enzymes do in living organisms. In a study published in the Aug. 5 issue of Nature Catalysis, the researchers say their discovery could lead to industrial catalysts capable of producing methanol using less energy and at a lower cost. Methanol has a variety of applications, and there is a growing demand for its use as a fuel with lower emissions than conventional gasoline.
"We took our inspiration from nature," said senior author Matteo Cargnello, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at Stanford. "We wanted to mimic the function of natural enzymes in the laboratory using artificial catalysts to make useful compounds."
For the experiment, the researchers designed a catalyst made of nanocrystals of palladium, a precious metal, embedded in layers of porous polymers tailored with special catalytic properties. Most protein enzymes found in nature also have trace metals, like zinc and iron, embedded in their core.
The researchers were able to observe trace palladium in their catalysts with electron microscopic imagery by co-author Andrew Herzing of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Model reaction
"We focused on a model chemical reaction: converting toxic carbon monoxide and oxygen into carbon dioxide (CO2)," said PhD student Andrew Riscoe, lead author of the study. "Our goal was to see if the artificial catalyst would function like an enzyme by speeding up the reaction and controlling the way CO2 is produced."
To find out, Riscoe placed the catalyst in a reactor tube with a continuous flow of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas. When the tube was heated to about 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit), the catalyst began generating the desired product, carbon dioxide.
High-energy X-rays from the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at SLAC revealed that the catalyst had traits similar to those seen in enzymes: The palladium nanocrystals inside the catalyst were continuously reacting with oxygen and carbon monoxide to produce carbon dioxide. And some of the newly formed carbon dioxide molecules were getting trapped in the outer polymer layers as they escaped from the nanocrystals.
"The X-rays showed that once the polymer layers were filled with CO2, the reaction stopped," said Cargnello, an affiliate with the Stanford Natural Gas Initiative (NGI). "This is important, because it's the same strategy used by enzymes. When an enzyme produces too much of a product, it stops working, because the product is no longer needed. We showed that we can also regulate the production of CO2 by controlling the chemical composition of the polymer layers. This approach could impact many areas of catalysis."
The X-ray imaging was conducted by study co-authors Alexey Boubnov, a Stanford postdoctoral scholar, and SLAC scientists Simon Bare and Adam Hoffman.
Making methanol
With the success of the carbon dioxide experiment, Cargnello and his colleagues have turned their attention to converting methane, the main ingredient in natural gas, into methanol, a chemical widely used in textiles, plastics and paints. Methanol has also been touted as a cheaper, cleaner alternative to gasoline fuel.
"The ability to convert methane to methanol at low temperatures is considered a holy grail of catalysis," Cargnello said. "Our long-term goal is to build a catalyst that behaves like methane monooxoygenase, a natural enzyme that certain microbes use to metabolize methane."
Most methanol today is produced in a two-step process that involves heating natural gas to temperatures of about 1,000 C (1,800 F). But this energy-intensive process emits a large amount ofcarbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change.
"An artificial catalyst that directly converts methane to methanol would require much lower temperatures and emit far less CO2," Riscoe explained. "Ideally, we could also control the products of the reaction by designing polymer layers that trap the methanol before it burns."
Future enzymes
"In this work, we demonstrated that we can prepare hybrid materials made of polymers and metallic nanocrystals that have certain traits typical of enzymatic activity," said Cargnello, who is also affiliated with Stanford's SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis. "The exciting part is that we can apply these materials to lots of systems, helping us better understand the details of the catalytic process and taking us one step closer to artificial enzymes."

This master thesis project is a part of a project called "Järboprojektet" at the regional board of forestry, the district of Gästrikland. The project will give answers to questions regarding if an analysis of satellite images can be used to contact and inform landowners of the located areas where precommercial thinning is useful. The whole project is a part of the National Board of Forestrys IT-stake where the analysis of satellite images will, at the latitudes possible, be adapted to each district in purpose to identify these areas in need of precommercial thinning. This master thesis project is based on a field inventory of identified objects where precommercial thinning is useful. The region for the experiment comprise the whole parish of Järbo in the northeast part of Gästrikland which is in the southern part of Swedens boreal zone. The principals of the analyses is to use the high difference between the amount of reflected light, from the chlorophyll, in the wavelengthts for red light and near infrared light (NIR). Decidious species gives the highest difference and is therefore the species located with the best accuracy.
A field inventory of all located objects was not possible because of the time limits of this project. Therefore an assumption was made that large objects containing forests in need of precommercial thinning are more easily detected than small ones. That resulted in a selection of objects where the lowest area limit was set to 1.5 hectares. All these areas were observed together with a limited quantity of smaller objects both randomly and subjectively selected. In each object variables as mean height, mean stem density, composision of tree species etc. were registrated. To obtain data for an economic simulation of the precommercial thinning, between two and four sample plots were subjectively chosen in each object. The data collected was for instance tree hight, tree species and stem density.
The National Board of Forestry recommends precommercial thinning to be done when the stand mean height is between 2-4 m and the stem density is higher than recommended for given soil classification, tree species composition, etc. Results from the field inventory shows that 25 % of the identified stands with need of precommercial thinning fulfill this recommendation, while approximately 50 % of the rest of these stands has a mean height between 5-8 m. In 85 % of the objects the precommercial thinning is estimated to be useful "immidiately" and 11 % "within five years". The share of the inventored area that comprises forest with need of precommercial thinning is, for objects larger than 1.5 ha, 73 %. That should be compared with the percentage of objects smaller than 1.5 ha randomly selected which is 51 % which gives a difference of 22 units of %. This difference is statistically significant.
In most objects, a fearly immediate precommercial thinning can avoid the severe damages that occurs in stands with high stem density. Thus the contact with landowners for objects found after the satellite image analysis is important. The high amount of objects in phases G1 and G2 indicates that the treshold value (i.e. the value when an object is classified as where precommercial thinning is useful or not) is rather high since these stands seems to reflect among the highest amount of NIR. If another similiar satellite image analysis is to be done, with the same conditions as this analysis, one should concentrate on larger objects for best accuracy. However, there are several complementary measures to use such as: landowner registration of clearcutting, a higher resolution in satellite images, studying the histogram for a satellite image in order to find patterns usable for setting a threshold value, etc.
