Justin Ragognetti
Justin Ragognetti, a California native, played competitive junior golf in Orange County before joining the NCAA Division I men's golf team at William & Mary in Virginia. There he competed in over 45 Division I tournaments and took home several individual and team titles. Following graduation, Justin played professionally in mini tour events before turning his attention to coaching.
Over the course of his 13-year teaching career, Justin has had the pleasure of working with players on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Web.com Tour, PGA Tour LATAM, PGA Tour Canada, top-ranked amateurs, and talented junior golfers both from the US and abroad. His players have won countless junior events and he's helped more than 40 students (and counting!) earn college golf scholarships.
While his approach to golf is founded in the details, science, and body mechanics, his southern California roots contribute to his laid-back, agreeable, and open nature. After all, a study did find that the best personalities are cultivated in California. In all seriousness, a key differentiator between Justin and his peers is his ability to effectively communicate his observations and expertise to any audience with ease, clarity, and actionable follow-through.
So what's he got to say?
"Playing great golf is largely about understanding how the arms, body, and club work together to create a solid strike and repeatable ball flight. While the nuances may look different from person to person, all elite players effectively create synergy between their bodies and clubs to execute powerful and controllable shots again and again."
When he's not teaching, you'll find him spending time with his wife, son, and daughter; binge-watching Netflix documentaries; and occasionally surfing, where he's "slightly worse than mediocre."
CULTURE, COMPETITION, & COMMUNITY
Junior players compete at their best and are most confident when they are immersed in a supportive environment that has a rich culture. That's what you'll find here. We've developed a place where your children feel safe, happy, and are continually improving every aspect of their game—mentally, physically, and technically. It's an ongoing process and we are dedicated to each player's performance, emotional well-being, and skill development in partnership with their parents.
Our Junior Program includes:
Junior Tournament Coordination & Travel
College Recruitment Navigation
The Program runs in two semesters, August-December and January-June, from 3:00 to 6:30 PM Tuesday-Friday with tournament play on weekends (average of once per month) throughout the Southeast region. Summer Camps provide additional training and can be booked in one-week increments to allow flexibility for family travel and other summer commitments.
Local Junior Program students have come from Bolles High School, Ponte Vedra High School, Bartram Trail High School, Bishop Kenny High School, Nease High School, and Landrum Middle School, among others.
It's whatever you need it to be.
Customized golf instruction using cutting-edge technology will tackle:
Bunker Play
Club/Shot Selection
On-Course Work/Strategy
Lessons include video analysis and take-home summary with access to Trackman radar technology for swing, club, and ball data.

Davis, LaHood Announce $125,000 Drug-Free Communities Grant to BN Parents
U.S. Representatives Rodney Davis (IL-13) and Darin LaHood (IL-18) today announced that the BN Parents organization facilitated by Chestnut Health Systems, Inc. is the recipient of a Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grant through the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The continuing grant award is for the amount of $125,000.
"Substance abuse is a public health problem across the country, including right here in central Illinois, but fortunately the great staff and volunteers at groups like BN Parents are successfully working to change that," said Rep. Davis. "It's great to see BN parents and similar groups receive these grant funds so they can continue their mission and promote healthier communities."
"BN Parents does great work in the community to deliver an anti-drug and anti-alcohol message to students in Bloomington-Normal," said Rep. LaHood. "I am grateful to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy for awarding these funds, which will enable BN Parents to continue providing important resources to students in central Illinois."
"Investment in prevention is an investment in our future — and under the Trump Administration, that investment is at an all-time high," ONDCP Director Jim Carroll stated. "The record support for the DFC program announced by the White House this year will help the people of Bloomington-Normal, promote the evidence-based messages that have been proven to lower illicit substance use among our Nation's youth."
BN Parents is a community coalition with a mission of reducing substance use through parent-teen communication on the issue. Additional information can be found at www.BNParents.org.
The DFC Program was developed to support communities as they mobilize individuals and organizations to prevent youth substance use, based on the premise that local problems need local solutions. At a time when the addiction crisis continues to affect communities across the country, DFC-funded coalitions work to reduce the prevalence of past 30-day use for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and prescription drugs.

The Elijah Interfaith Institute is involved in a global venture this coming weekend and we invite all our friends and supporters to participate with us. Join the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders and interfaith leaders from throughout the region in creating and celebrating Harmony in the Holy Land (http://www.harmonyintheholyland.org) an historic weekend of peace-building and healing, December 21-22, 2012.
Harmony in the Holy Land hopes is inspired by a global movement synchronizing thousands of people in prayer, meditation and music events worldwide. It will feature Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Druze spiritual leaders and musicians from the Abrahamic faiths offering prayers, inspirational messages and sacred music, LIVE from Jerusalem.
It is an unprecedented weekend of activities, which will be live-streamed on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening from sacred sites throughout the Old City of Jerusalem.
Elijah supports the notion that this is the perfect time for such an event, given the current situation in the region and a recognition that deeper healing is needed.
This is a global call to prayer from the city of Jerusalem.
In addition to Elijah, this event is sponsored by The Jerusalem Peacemakers, Birth 2012, UNIFY, The Shift Network & Peace Day LIVE. UNIFY, the global prayer/meditation for peace, will broadcast Muslim, Jewish and Christian religious leaders conducting prayers at the central holy places of their faiths in Jerusalem's Old City at 1pm IST (GMT+2) on Friday afternoon, synchronized with thousands of prayer events worldwide.
Hundreds of international events happening during the weekend are being integrated into a 33-hour live Birth 2012 online broadcast. Locations holding prayer events include Byron Bay, Dublin, New York City, Los Angeles, Giza, Chitzen Itza, Guatemala, Peru, Chiang Mai, and more.
Wherever you are, you can join us on line and/ or by engaging in prayer, meditation or music for peace. If you are planning an activity, please let us know by return email, so we can include you in our prayers and perhaps in our video streaming.
What can the great religions agree upon? Is there a common message that they can give to humanity? The following reflections and prayers, representing six major religious traditions, share one key theme, as a common denominator of all religions – Hope.
Hope is required because the potential for despair and lack of meaning is an intrinsic feature of life. We require teaching, vision and a good dose of optimism to orient our lives towards higher purpose, to guide us through the challenges and difficulties of life and to protect us from the many evils that humans are capable of enacting.
Our traditions share an optimistic view of life. Life has purpose. The human person can live in a way that is noble, elevating and that allows him or her to rise above the despair that the daily encounter with the outward appearance of 'reality' can generate. One can find meaning and hope through deeper understanding and a teaching of proper living.
Our religions have different ways of accounting for why we must retain hope. For some, it is grounded in narrative – the narrative of a messianic end in which good and God will triumph (Judaism, Christianity) For some, it is grounded in the very reality of God and His guidance and care (Islam, Sikhism). Still for others, it is grounded in the proper understanding of reality and our ability to live our life in light of such understanding (Hinduism, Buddhism).
While the specific visions of hope change from one tradition to another, the principle of hope is constant.
What is equally constant is the recognition that we, humans, must take charge of our lives and live them according to the highest ideals in order for hope to be maintained. The key to hope is thus in our hands. Even as we rely on providence and God's plans for the present and the future, our ultimate happiness stands in direct proportion to the lives we lead and the values we practise.
A. We must remember we are not alone. For most traditions this is a recollection of God. But it is also a recollection of our fellow human beings and of all creation. The insight that we are all interconnected, part of a larger being, or vision or plan, is a fundamental insight that our religions share. That is a source of hope.
B. Greed and selfishness are the great vices, detaching us from the vision of wholeness. Their fruit is isolation and despair. We suffer from these today as great illnesses of our society.
C. Hatred and intolerance will increase our isolation, causing us to lose sight of the All.
D. The great positive commandment is to love or have compassion. Practising it is a source of joy, meaning and hope.
Today's humanity needs hope as much and even more so than previous eras. Rapid changes in lifestyle lead to destabilisation and require us to discover new balances and to retrieve sources of meaning. In the spirit of a globalized world, religions too need to offer their deepest wisdom for the well being of all of humanity. Specific moments of concern about the stability and continued existence of our planet are moments to recall that while all life is transitory, its transitory nature must be appreciated from a higher context that endows it with purpose and meaning. We must all live our changing and transient lives with a hope that redefines our life, providing it with meaning, direction and a healthy orientation for the good of All.

The Charm of Old Florida

Siesta Key is located 55 miles south of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast and is an eight-mile-long barrier island connected to Sarasota by two bridges. It is remote enough to give one a feeling of old Florida, yet still provides all the conveniences of modern life.
The winding routes to the beaches are lined with lush foliage, mature trees and tropical flowering shrubs. The beaches are refreshingly natural, with scores of native island birds that share the island, as well as dolphins, manatees and other wildlife living just offshore.
Activities Abound

You will find it all here; seafood, Italian, American, Oriental and French, complete with nightclub music and dancing.
Fishing, boating, snorkeling, sail boarding, parasailing and scuba diving are among the many water sports available at Siesta Key. If staying on land is more your style, enjoy a round of golf, bicycling or roller-blading around the village, or enjoy a sunset stroll along the beach.

Q: Reload same page several times in Blogger/Blogspot will reduce bounce rate? I'm trying to make a simple pagination in Blogger with Javascript. The idea is hiding the second paragraph, and show it when we click a button (and hide the first paragraph when we do so). The page will also be reloaded everytime the button clicked.
So, if my visitor reload the same page for several times, will it improve the bounce rate? Since it's the same URL.
It's a bit different with other self-hosted blog because they have different URL for each page. Something like:

domain.com/the-title?page=2 domain.com/the-title?page=3
  domain.com/the-title?page=4

...etc
Also, will it affect the SEO? Is everything I hid in second paragraph will be invisible in Google search result?

A: The answer is NO. Let me explain the reasons why:
1.The bounce rate is increased when a user visits your page and leaves without interacting with your site / visiting another page.
2.Refreshing the page does not start a new session/pageview. No matter how many times they visit your site they will re-open the exact same session for 30mins.
3.Javascript refresh or meta refresh does not count as user interaction. You may also want to read more about Google and Javascripts. Google can read your content even if you use javascript or refresh for Dynamic content.
 (http://searchengineland.com/tested-googlebot-crawls-javascript-heres-learned-220157)
4.Hiding any texts from the user is never a good idea. You may apply it in times that you need specific KPIs for clicks of buttons or cases like that but... can't you just use heatmaps or even better seperate content? Anyway, if you use it on a high percent of your content you might have Cloaking problems.(https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355)
So it will not affect your bounce rate. You might get cloaking warning if you apply this on the majority of your website. It might also be considered a problematic user experience and lower your techincal seo scores (page load times etc.). As you can see you might only get problems by using such methods. I would suggest you to not proceed with the idea.

One of my favourite blogs just featured a nice picture that presents the 10 typical types of medical bloggers.
Which type do you belong to?
Click on the image for the original source and size.
Hah! I think I'm probably a bit of a political didact. Or something. 😉 With a bunch of non-medical stuff thrown in (photography, music, and some philosophisng of sorts). Most of my political-ish stuff is railing against the problems in and around my specialty (psychiatry), rather than wider/actual politics.


Say yes to the desires with me! Genuine and real! A genuine and mutual pleasure! Pamper your body and soul! Will make you forget the daily grind! Call for something real and passionate which will leave a lasting impression in your mind.. Please call me or write me SMS and lets meet. . .


So this video is my healthy Autumn morning routine! With the colder weather and fewer daylight hours I like to make a few changes to my skincare, diet and exercise routine. Before I got into a routine I would really struggle with early mornings and when I had to wake up early for a meeting I would feel sluggish.
One day I decided to set myself a challenge for one week to go to bed at the same time (11pm) and wake up every morning at 6am The first few days were tricky, but with a no-phone in bedroom policy and laptop off at 10pm – I managed to do it! After a successful first week I decided to try another week and thats when I felt my body clock changed, I even found myself waking up before my alarm!
1. I will have booked my workout class the night before and that means if I snooze I lose ££££!
2. I prepare my workout kit the night before – no excuses!
Wake up with determination, go to bed with satisfaction!

Wine is up there with my favourite things. It is a parenting essential just like coffee in my eyes. A friend to hold my hand after a long, tough day. And I don't discriminate, I like red, white and rose, we can all be mates, there's no need to fight over me. So when Aldi emailed asking if I'd like to sample some of their Exquisite wine range there was no possible way that I could say no.
Now I can say without a doubt that their wine is good quality and even better, a bargain price, who needs £100 bottles of plonk when you can spend less than £7 on a good bottle of red and enjoy just as much if not more.
Bring some Aussie sunshine to a Wednesday evening with a glass of the Exquisite Collection Limestone Coast Cabernet. With intense flavours of juicy blackcurrant, cherries, eucalyptus and mocha notes, try pairing it with a warming winter meal such as steak or duck.
Produced from the Cortese grapes grown around the town of Gavi in the outstanding Piemonte wine region, the Exquisite Collection Gavi is refreshing and aromatic boasting flavours of tangy lemon, weighty fruit and subtle waxy nuttiness. Enjoy a glass of this Italian white wine alongside antipasti, creamy pasta sauces or risotto.
This delightful, elegant red has soft smooth flavours of rich red fruits and lush berries. With carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes from across France, the delicious Vignobles Roussellet Pinot Noir is perfect when paired with roast lamb and shared with family and friends.
I was sent the Noir and the Gava, my only problem was deciding which one to open and drink first.
In the end the Noir became my favourite, it was strong tasting but it went down nicely, so nicely infact that I've already bought myself another bottle. I'll be honest because we're all friends here right? Well the bottle didn't last very long, hiccup.

Le football diversifié est le terme donné par la Fédération française de football (FFF) aux différentes variantes du football dont elle administre la plupart des compétitions. Reprenant le concept lancé en 1990 par la FIFA sous le terme de La Grande Famille du Football, l'objectif est, à terme, l'intégration de tous les sports de balle au pied au sein de la FIFA et des fédérations nationales. Actuellement, la Fédération française de football reconnaît le statut de football diversifié à quatre variantes du football: le futsal, le beach-soccer, le football d'entreprise et le football loisir. D'autres pratiques sont également souvent rattachée au football diversifié comme les variantes de football handisport (Foot fauteuil, Cécifoot, etc.) ou encore le eFoot qui comprend les compétitions e-sport sur les jeux vidéo de football.

Primobolan is one of the Top 10 Anabolic Steroids of all time.
Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) is an anabolic steroid that is nearly clean with very small androgenic effect, and which has a fairly durable anabolic action. This medicine also has limited side effects when it comes to intensification of strength and muscle weight. When athletes administrate the pills, there is no quick increase in weight and also no considerable growth of power. This is one of the reasons why Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) is administrated for an extensive period of time, because this leads to a slow but worthwhile increase of muscle, which is preserved for the most part after stopping usage.
Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) steroid tablets have a simple direction in pre-competitions periods, chiefly for women, because the acetate type does not aromatize into estrogen and so doesn't maintain the water in body. A distinct trait of this drug is the fact that it is helpful for fat burning. It is best to administrate the steroid straight on the spot where it is necessary; this way the ingredient gets in the blood by the skin. Take Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) directly on the skin joined with dimethyl sulfate, which is one of the fewest constituents that passes entirely through the skin.
The effective dosage of Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) in the form of injection is 200-300 mg in a week. If you want to administrate this medicine orally, 50-150 mg daily is the directed dose. For males, 50-100 mgs /day is the accurate and actual dosage by mouth, but for females, 10-25 mgs daily is the best dose. If you have to administrate them as injections, the top dosage for Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) injection is 350-600 mg per week for males.
Women must inject 100 mg per week of this medication. Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) injectable has a dynamic life of about ten to fourteenth days, while the active life of this preparations in the form of tablets is approximately four to six hours. The time of its recognition is 4 to 5 weeks.
Primo 600 mg week by week 1-12; Test prop 100 mg week by week 1-14; Tren enanthate 300-400 mg in a week 1-10 (Excellent cutting course for advanced user).
There are a lot of other diverse cycles you could do; these are just a few examples. Normally, the amount of Primo you will take in the cycle will come down to how much you can afford, and how many injections you mind doing. As said though, normally with Primo, the more you do, the better, but a minimum dosage would have to be no less than 400 mg in a week.
Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) – Guidelines for taking: ask your physician if you have inquires about how to administrate this medication.
Speak to your doctor immediately if any of these apply to you.
Certain conditions can interact with Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate).
in case you have diabetes, an enlarged prostate, kidney or liver disease, high blood calcium levels, or obesity.
Certain MEDICINES CAN INTERACT with this drug.
Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), insulin, or oral hypoglycemic (eg, glyburide) because their unwanted side effects, including danger of bleeding, can be increased by Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate).
– Propranolol because its effectiveness can be decreased by Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate).
This is not a whole list of all interactions that may arise. Talk to your health care provider.
– unnatural hair growth or atypical hair loss.
– tender throat and/or temperature or vomiting of blood.
This is not a whole list of all uncommon effects that can happen. If you have questions about undesirable effects, contact your doctor.
One dose a day – Take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, in case you don't remember it until the following day, skip the missed measure and return to your regular scheduled measure. Don't double dose.
More than one doses a day – Administrate the missed Primobolan quantity at once. However in case it is almost time for your next dosage, skip the forgotten dosing and follow your fixed programmed dose. Do not double dose.
If you have any questions regarding this, discuss them with your doctor.
– Keep away of the reach of children.
– Store away from temperature and direct light.
– Do not store the pills in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places.
– Do not keep expired preparations or medicine no longer needed. Be sure that all unwanted medication is out of the reach of children.

Q: Why javaBigDecimal2bigDecimal implicit is not applicable? With scala 2.9.2 this code:

BigDecimal(1) + new java.math.BigDecimal("1")
new java.math.BigDecimal("1") + BigDecimal(1)

does not compile because scala.math.BigDecimal$#javaBigDecimal2bigDecimal is not applied in the second case
However, if i define the same implicit right before it, the code compiles:

BigDecimal(1) + new java.math.BigDecimal("1")
implicit def javaBigDecimal2bigDecimal(x: java.math.BigDecimal): BigDecimal = BigDecimal(x)
new java.math.BigDecimal("1") + BigDecimal(1)

Why so?

A: In first expression BigDecimal(1) + new java.math.BigDecimal("1") works rule:

Compiler will look for implicits defined within any object of the implicit scope of the type it's looking for.

So, there is a method +(BigDecimal): BigDecimal on scala.math.BigDecimal. Compiler sees wrong argument type (java.math.BigDecimal) and starts to look for conversion to type BigDecimal. It can't find one in scope, and then it looks in BigDecimal object and finds javaBigDecimal2bigDecimal.
Second example will work if there is javaBigDecimal2bigDecimal conversion in scope because java.math.BigDecimal doesn't have + method, and compiler will look for conversion to proper type (which has method +(BigDecimal))

A: Did you import math.BigDecimal._ ? For my it works just fine:
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.7.0_04).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

scala> import math.BigDecimal._
import math.BigDecimal._

scala> import math.BigDecimal
import math.BigDecimal

scala> BigDecimal(1) + new java.math.BigDecimal(1)
res0: scala.math.BigDecimal = 2

edit:
forgot to mention, this works as well:
scala> new java.math.BigDecimal("1") + BigDecimal(1)
res0: scala.math.BigDecimal = 2


Oh, Grand Teton National Park! Of all the places we dreamed about visiting on our two-month road trip, I think I was MOST excited about the Tetons. A quick Google photos search will show you why I had permanent heart-eyes daydreaming about this place.
Of course, with our adventure pup Callie in tow, our options for national park sightseeing were mostly limited to scenic drives and the occasional paved trail—because those are (generally) the only spots where you're allowed to take dogs. But we simply couldn't visit the Tetons without a little backpacking action! After researching local kennels, we decided to board Callie for a few days so we could get out in the backcountry.
As for which trail to hike, the choice was obvious: the 19-mile Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon loop. This popular trail circles through the center of the park, cutting into the mountains through Paintbrush Canyon on one side and Cascade Canyon on the other. In between, the trail reaches its pinnacle at the Paintbrush Divide: a 10,700 ft. vista offering a sweeping 360-degree view of the Tetons' signature rocky peaks.
This is the route, as outlined on the free map that the park provides. Green areas are where camping is allowed (but only on designated sites and with a permit).
So it's no surprise that it's also the most popular trail in the park for backpackers—and even ambitious day hikers. But we crossed our fingers that going in early September meant we would miss the worst of the crowds (without having to ice-ax our way across slippery mountain passes).
The night before our trek, we splurged on a hotel room in Jackson Hole—totally worth it, since we had been camping for the past week or so. We picked up our permits at the ranger station the day before, which meant all we had to do the next morning was drop Callie off at the boarder's, grab a quick lunch, and head into the park!
After finding a parking spot in the String Lake lot, we donned our packs and hit the trail—once we found the trailhead, that is. It's a busy area with intersecting trails and lots of day hikers, and we were pulling out our maps no more than 10 minutes after leaving the car. But we found the right trail before long and set off at about 1:30 p.m. A late start, but that was expected (and why we reserved the closest camping area for night #1).
After looping around String Lake, the trail ducked into the trees and started gaining altitude at a steady, but reasonable, pace.
Heading up and into the forest!
We were mentally prepared for a tough hike, knowing we had full packs and about a 1,000 ft. elevation gain to cover that day. But we were also full of first-day excitement and buoyed by the beautiful views, so we made good time. Just two hours later, we were surprised to find ourselves already at the edge of the Lower Paintbrush Canyon camping zone.
With plenty of time before sundown, we checked out all the available campsites before settling on our favorite: a large spot with a flat area for the tent and a perfect cooking rock nearby. We already had a couple of neighbors, but the sites were spread out enough to still give us plenty of solitude.
With camp all set up by 4:00 p.m., we settled in to relax. I loved it at first, reading in the sun in my Crazy Creek. But then the temperature—already chilly at 3:00 p.m.—quickly started dropping. When the sun disappeared behind a cliff at about 5:00, we had already piled on all of our layers. We held out until 6:00 p.m. before making dinner (dehydrated Pad Thai), which we inhaled as much for the heat as for the calories. Then, without a fire to warm us up, there was nothing else to do but get in bed. At 7:45. It wasn't dark out, and we weren't tired, but MAN it felt good to snuggle up in my down sleeping bag! Luckily, I had a list of conversation starters with me—so, warm and cozy in our sleeping bags, we talked about who we'd invite to imaginary dinner parties until the day caught up to us and we drifted off to sleep.
Day Two: SUMMIT DAY. At least, that's the mindset I should have had. But with a good night's sleep and an easy Day One hike under our belts, we started off on Day Two feeling confident…perhaps a little too confident.
The first long stretch of trail continued climbing up and out of the canyon. Despite the endless switchbacks, we were in great spirits. It might have also had something to do with the incredible beauty surrounding us.
Groups of other hikers passed by us pretty regularly, but we also hiked for stretches of time with no company other than some adorable pika, which darted out of the rocks to alert their friends to our presence with high-pitched squeals.
Pica: like a cross between a mouse and a baby bunny!
Not too shabby for a lunchtime view.
And then we kept going. Up and up and up some more. As our legs started getting tired, the air started getting thinner. Soon, we climbed out of the tree cover and into a much rockier, more barren landscape.
I could make a "Where's Waldo"-style book with the photos I have of Chris hiking this trail.
See that tiny patch of snow waaaaaay off in the distance between those peaks? Yep, that's where we're headed!
We arrived at the edge of the Upper Paintbrush camping zone in mid-afternoon, and I was glad we hadn't chosen a route that included an overnight stay there. With no tree cover, no water (not that we found, anyway) and at a 10,000-foot elevation, we would have been in for a rough (and VERY cold) night.
Unfortunately, our arrival at Upper Paintbrush also made one fact very clear: we had a long way left to go. Somewhere along the way I had miscalculated the distance, thinking that our Day Two hike would only be a little bit longer than Day One. But at this point, I busted out the map and realized that we still had nearly six miles more to hike—including a 700-foot climb to the Paintbrush Divide, then another 2,000 feet down to our campsite. Oops. No way could we afford to be exhausted yet.
All smiles for a 10,000-foot selfie. Almost there!
As we headed up into the pass, the hike began to feel VERY different from anything I've ever hiked back east. Every once in a while, the towering, rocky cliffs emitted a low rumble—an acute reminder that death by rock slide is a thing, and also that we weren't just going for a walk in the woods. We were climbing a mountain!
Only a few months out of the year can you safely hike this part of the trail without crampons and an ice ax.
For the last quarter mile or so leading up to the divide, the trail became, basically, loose piles of rocks arranged into the rough shape of a path. My heart—already beating quickly from the thin air—started pounding if I looked over the edge into the valley below. So I focused on the climb. I was happy to have my single hiking pole for an extra bit of balance.
Looking straight ahead on the "trail." It's hard to see, but about a yard to Chris's right is a steep drop-off.
And the stunning but vertigo-inducing view down below!
And then, FINALLY, we reached the top! We paused in the biting wind long enough to take in the expansive view and snap some victory photos.
But we couldn't linger for long—partly because of the freezing cold wind, but mainly because we still had several more miles and a 2,000-foot descent ahead of us. On the other side of the divide, we were immediately greeted by a whole new angle of Tetons beauty: glittering alpine lakes in one direction, and the majestic Cathedral Peaks in the other.
We even passed by a few lingering wildflowers!
At this point, I was about ready to be done hiking. And as we started descending toward Lake Solitude down in the valley, I could suddenly see a gorgeous photo in my mind's eye: sunlight sparking off of the lake and the Cathedral Peaks, illuminated by the late afternoon light, rising up in the background. But as we hiked, the sunlight started slowly disappearing behind the mountain in front of us (my perfect photo disappearing with it). We hiked faster and faster until I was practically jogging down the trail, which felt like it would never end. Like we were hiking toward a mirage. But thankfully, we did finally make it—just in time for me to get my photo before the perfect light faded away.
Totally worth running down a mountain with a full pack on for this shot.
About 20 minutes later (hiking at a normal pace again), we reached the North Fork camping zone. Just in time to set up camp and cook dinner before passing out with exhaustion. This time, we were perfectly happy to go to bed early!
Our last day on the trail left us with easy terrain (just under a thousand feet to descend), but a decent amount of ground still to cover. It would have been easy if it weren't for our aching muscles and sore hips. But, believe it or not, the hike was still gorgeous!
About halfway through, we came upon a small traffic jam on the trail, which turned out to be caused by a large male moose. He was just chilling near the stream—far enough from the trail not to be a concern, but close enough to make out the outline of his GIANT antlers. We opted not to try to get any closer.
The last few miles were the toughest for us—we were so sore and exhausted, but after reaching Jenny Lake, we had to hike all the way around it (on a very exposed and hot section of the trail, due to a recent fire) and THEN another quarter mile past the trailhead to where we had actually parked.
Finally, what felt like hours later, we made it back to the car at about 2:00 p.m. We were sweaty and exhausted, but victorious, having successfully hiked the full Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon loop!
This is at the edge of Jenny Lake, literally steps from the parking area.
I'm not sure there's a wrong way to do this trail—the views will be spectacular no matter which direction you hike, and you can do it in one day or three, depending on your fitness level and preference. Personally, I was happy with our plan of attack. The camping spots were nicer in Lower Paintbrush and North Fork Cascade, and a slower pace allowed us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves (and take ample photos).
The Tetons are bear country. You MUST bring bear spray and a bear canister with you, and follow bear safety protocol to protect yourself, other hikers, and the bears themselves.
Permits are required for backcountry camping, and camping is only allowed in established sites within designated camping areas.
Campfires are not allowed along this route.
There is plenty of water along most of the trail, except for the highest altitude area (from Upper Paintbrush to Lake Solitude).
Elevation is no joke! It's not debilitating, but it will slow you down near the summit if you're not acclimated to higher altitudes. Make sure to drink plenty of water and pack extra sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong rays.
If you're hiking the route clockwise (Cascade Canyon to Paintbrush), you might want to take advantage of the ferry that will take you across Jenny Lake.
This post is already way, WAY too long, but the story of our Tetons backpacking trip wouldn't be complete without a few shots from the spot where we spent our last night in the park: Hermitage Point, a small peninsula jutting out into massive Jackson Lake.
The goal was to spend our last night in the park in a more secluded spot, relaxing by the lake (where you're also allowed to build campfires). Unfortunately, we underestimated just how exhausted we would be upon finishing the Paintbrush-Cascade loop. The five extra miles that we had to hike—while they would have been easy under most circumstances—were brutal, and I whined the entire way. But just when I told Chris that I was going to cry if we rounded one more bend without seeing our campsite, we finally made it—just in time to enjoy dinner by the fire as the sun set over the water.
And, as always, it was worth it.
Beautiful photos! I've been to the Tetons but I've never ventured that far into the backcountry. Looks like I'm missing out on a lot. This looks like it was an incredible hike and congrats on completing it!
Great post! My wife and I are looking to do this exact loop next year. Knowing what you know now would you recommend doing the hike from String Lake to the Upper Paintbrush campsites? I was thinking of a route that would start at String->Upper Paint then Upper Paint -> North Fork and then hike out the next day. Besides the first day being longer and the second day being shorter, and the Upper campsites not being as good which are all very compelling reasons! Do you think that would be as enjoyable as your route? What were the temps at night? Thank you!!!
Hey Dustin, thanks for reading! You and your wife will LOVE this hike — I don't think there's a "wrong" way to do it; it mainly depends on the time you have and the weather. I would say that String Lake to Upper Paintbrush to North Fork is a better route, distance-wise — we had a really short Day One hike and a long and exhausting Day Two. But, the campsites at Lower Paintbrush are definitely better. (More water, less exposed, lower elevation). I can't quite remember the temperature, but it was probably around 30-40 F at Lower Paintbrush in early September. So it's a trade-off between distance and campsites. Good luck and have an amazing time!!

SEO Seeding – Electronic Arts Website
Colin Yeung April 29, 2009 April 14, 2019 Interesting & Noteworthy
What a fascinating (and logical) way to gain higher volume traffic to your newly designed website – Electronic Arts www.ea.com – jumped right onto the Ashton Kucher vs CNN battle, publishing this press release on 16th April 2009:
In supporting Ashton in his efforts, EA is offering Kutcher's 1,000,000th follower on Twitter a copy of every game EA makes in 2009 for the gaming system of their choice and, to have a character based on them that can be played in The Sims 3 if Ashton wins. The Sims 3 will also donate 5,000 mosquito nets in the name of the 1 millionth person who follows Ashton on Twitter (REGARDLESS of a win).
Earlier this week, actor Ashton Kutcher announced via YouTube that the number of his Twitter account followers rivaled that of the CNN Breaking News Twitter feed, and that upon beating them to the 1 million member milestone, he would punk CNN founder Ted Turner if the Internet made it happen. (Click here to watch the video that started it all.)
Specifically, he said he would ding-dong ditch Ted Turner's house and post the video of it if he won the showdown. To sweeten the deal, Ashton also promised to donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day on April 24.
Check out this update on EA's offer by Ashton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8AcfKGaEI

Follow The Sims 3 on Twitter: http://twitter.com/thesims3
Join the race to be Ashton Kutcher's millionth follower: http://twitter.com/aplusk
The above content, whilst short and succinct, hits every hallmark of good SEO & wider marketing/public relations:
Keywords – Ashton Kutcher, CNN, Twitter, were some of the hottest search words around at that point in time. Relevance.
Cross linking to high volume, highly spidered sites like www.wikipedia.org and www.youtube.com and linking to the cross promotion points on Twitter & Facebook and EA's own Twitter pages
Inserting the title [Sims 3] of a game which in itself is under high search keyword scrutiny and offering the coveted position of having an avatar of yourself created in one of the most popular games of of ALL time – the modern day equivalent of immortality personified – i.e. the 100 story skyscraper, with your name on the plaque at the bottom.
EA throwing in themselves and donating 5,000 mosquito nets in the name of the millionth follower to the www.malarianomore.org campaign. Another chance of immortality and celebrity.
The incidental prize of all 2009 EA Titles, is really just appeasing the products division – on the weight of the other PR & promotional activity, this pales in significance.

And for the record, I personally prefer the look of the older EA site…. the new white background is a sorry trade off for the cool black of the preceding site, although funtionality wise, the execution of the new site is outstanding. Maybe it's because I spend alot of time looking at MS Word doco on the screen today, my poor eyes prefer the soft tones of black….

There's a Chinese saying that goes something like: When humans make plans, the gods laugh. Well, last Friday was proof it's a wise saying.
It was the weekend and we had made plans for the day. Tons of them. They included having our handyman friend Shane over to finish installing the counters in our kitchen, buying groceries, eating said groceries and watching my favourite show on TV.
I got home Friday and, instead of plans, I found we had no power. No lights, no internet, no water, nothing. We barely had water because, though it does come from a well, the pump used to take it to the house runs on, you guessed it, power. So we only had the water in the tank and that's a really small quantity. Still, it didn't bother me too much, because after calling Hydro they said we'd get power at around 5 or so. We ate a cold dinner and I started knitting. No biggie.
The power didn't come back last night…and this morning I woke up to a very dark, unhappy world…I wasn't that cheerful either but did manage to wake up Hubby to share my misery. We ate cereal and found one cell phone that still had life and called hydro. After losing the connection twice, they told us to not expect power until later on in the day…or possibly later. The man at the other end of the phone was obviously at the end of a long shift. He didn't care that we were losing our food and sanity. Instead of the time the power would return, he said he knew how I felt.
I cursed, swore to myself we'd go off grid as soon as possible and hung up. Then went to boil water. We have gas, a blessing since it works when there's no power. We heated water and had coffee and tea…and chatted by candle light. It was actually really nice.
Then Hubby went out to do some yard work and I blew my nose and threw the tissue into the toilet. For some strange reason, I flushed it.
I heard gurgle, gurgle and nothing else.
Our toilet is a Grouch. Obviously an evil mastermind in another life, he's been reincarnated as a toilet for punishment. Perpetually grumpy, this machine will stop working at the worst opportunities and yesterday was his coup de grace.
Or maybe he just resented my wanton misuse of water.
Whatever the reason, Groucho stopped working half way through swallowing the tissue. No amount of plunging or praying was going to change his mind. After cursing in different languages and getting nowhere, I ran to the kitchen, got the last of our water into a pot and boiled it. Still, one pot of boiled water threw Groucho into action and it reluctantly did its job.
I ran to bed and hid under the blankets before something else stopped working. River seemed to sense my despair because he slept by the side of my bed, plopping his big head on the mattress and breathing his doggie breath on my face in reassurance.
Thankfully, we now have power. Evening TV never looked as amazing and I plan to have longest shower in history after I finish this post.
I have a nagging suspicion that what we believe, we make come true. I thought of this when I read this post by Jeff Moore. Soo interesting. Loved it.

'Avengers: Endgame' Pre-Sale Causes AMC Site to Crash for Hours, Creates Long Lines on Fandango
Posted 10:32 AM, April 2, 2019, by CNN Wire, Updated at 01:36PM, April 2, 2019

The Avengers weren't prepared for Thanos and it appears that some online ticket sites weren't prepared for the Avengers.
Pre-sale tickets for "Avengers: Endgame," the latest film from Disney's Marvel Studios which opens on April 26, went on sale Tuesday morning, prompting fans to flock to sites like Fandango and AMC to grab their tickets.
But those who logged onto Fandango found themselves in a virtual queue for some theater chains.
"You're now in line for tickets," a graphic on Fandango's site read.
The graphic, which pops up after consumers try to buy tickets for certain theaters, says that ticket buyers will automatically be taken to the site when their turn comes up. The graphic displays an estimated wait time, which varies from person to person.
Fandango was backed up but was operational, allowing consumers to grab tickets, even though many show times for the film's opening weekend are already sold out.
"Endgame" set Fandango's first day pre-sales record overtaking "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." It broke the record in only six hours, the online ticket seller reported on Tuesday evening.
AMC's website and its ticketing app, however, appeared to be down because of the high demand.
Fandango declined to comment. AMC did not immediately return a request for comment, but they posted a tweet to address the site crash.
"We want everyone to be able to grab their Avengers: Endgame tickets, but it looks like we've gotten Thanos' snap," the tweet said. "We're working on getting things back up and running, and in the meantime, please keep trying our website and our partner sites!"
Atom Tickets prepared their servers for the rush of online ticket sales, but it still wasn't enough to handle the demand. A spokesperson for Atom told CNN Business that "Endgame" has sold three times more tickets on its site in the first hour of pre-sale than "Avengers: Infinity War" did last year.
"Endgame" is the sequel to "Infinity War," which broke box office records when it premiered last April.
"Infinity War" made a record $640 million for its opening weekend around the world. It went on to make more than $2 billion worldwide.
Theaters released multiple showtimes for "Endgame," which is listed at 3 hours and 2 minutes. AMC 25 in New York City's Times Square has 41 showtimes on opening day. That includes showtimes at 3:30 am, 4:30 am and 5:30 am.

Winter weddings are usually amazing light or very flat to photograph in - Luckily for Rachel and Greg the sun came out - and we did not need to venture far to find the good light. Right out the back of One Devonshire Gardens provided a great setting for the couple shots. Such a nice laid back couple who were pretty nervous in the morning, but as soon as they saw each other - you could not wipe the smile off their faces all day.


The combo formula for wearing nautical style is simple: navy, white, red and stripes. However, I often like to add unexpected hues to my maritime ensembles; for example, today I paired it with rust-hued pants and bag. Around this time of the year, you don't see too many people wearing their browns and burgundies and I guess it's because they save those colors for the cooler months of the year. I personally try not to relate colors with seasons, therefore, I enjoy wearing most colors all year round. The only thing that will stop me from wearing a garment of a particular color, in any given season, is the fabric.
In my opinion, this look is perfect for any chilly Spring or Autumn day. The fabrics aren't heavy but they are substantial enough to keep you warm mainly in later hours of the afternoons.
Remember, you don't need to be vacationing at the French Riviera or live near to water to enjoy a nautical look. As a matter of fact, this style will be more appreciated when you wear it in on opposite grounds.
Love the color twist you put into this nautical look. Well done!
Thanks, Rena! Nautical is one of my favorite styles.
Can't be summer without the nautical trend.
I agree, Olivia! In fact, I like nautical all year round!

Q: Go Gota: Getting "wrong dimensions" error while running "mutate" to create a new col I have a dataframe df that has two columns, i.e. A and B. I am trying to create a new column and adding it to the df like below:
logFunc := func(s series.Series) series.Series {
    floats := s.Float()
    outCol := []float64 {}
    for _, f := range floats {
        outCol = append(outCol, math.Ceil(1 - math.Log(f)))
    }
    return series.Floats(outCol)
}

newCol := df.Select("B").rapply(logFunc)

newDF := df.mutate(Series.New(newCol, series.Float, "C")
fmt.Println(newDF)

But I am getting the below error:
DataFrame error: mutate: wrong dimensions

Any help in this regard will be wonderful. Thanks
When I checked through the code of Gota and found this:
func (df DataFrame) Mutate(s series.Series) DataFrame {
        ...

    if s.Len() != df.nrows {
        return DataFrame{Err: fmt.Errorf("mutate: wrong dimensions")}
    }

This means that if the length of the series and nrows of df doesn't match, it throws this error. But the way I am building this, they should match. Not sure how this can be solved.
I am expecting the newDF to have the new column alongside others.
Edit:
I figured out the issue here. The output of logFunc is not series but a dataframe. Now the question is how can we get the series out of the dataframe.


Jiang, Y., Chen, Q., Tan, H., Gu, J., and Zhang, Y. (2019). "A low-cost, formaldehyde-free, and high-performance starch-based wood adhesive," BioRes. 14(1), 1405-1418.
An environmentally friendly starch-based wood adhesive was developed using cassava starch (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). A set amount of polymethylene polyphenylene isocyanate (PAPI, modified in the laboratory) was used as the cross-linking agent to improve the water resistance. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the adhesive, the shear strength was measured by a mechanical testing machine. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the properties of the adhesive and the curing products. The results indicated that the adhesive using PVOH with a low alcoholysis degree was better than high alcoholysis degree and adding 7 wt% PVOH1 (RS-1717) could obtain good mechanical properties; the dry shear strength was 7.77 MPa, reaching 1.36 MPa in the wet state. The favorable results were attributed to reactive hydrogens in the wood and CS, which can form a cross-linking network with the -NCO groups of PAPI to obtain excellent shear strength and water resistance.
It is well known that China has one of the lowest amounts of forestland per head in the world. To make up for the shortage of forest resources, the wood-based panel industry is well developed, which allows the wood adhesive industry to flourish. At present, urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic-formaldehyde resin, and melamine-formaldehyde resin adhesives are predominantly used in the wood-based composite industry. These adhesives have mature technologies. However, they depend on petroleum, natural gas, and other non-renewable resources. Moreover, during the production or use of wood composite products, these adhesives emit carcinogenic formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds into the environment, thus reducing indoor air quality and posing a health risk to humans (Jang et al. 2011; Böhm et al. 2012; He et al. 2012; Moubarik et al. 2013). Scholars have made many efforts to reduce or replace phenol and formaldehyde contents in adhesive formulations (Jin et al. 2010; Boran et al. 2011), but these methods cannot solve the fundamental problem. This has prompted scientists to look for environmentally friendly wood adhesives based on renewable resources (Kim 2010; Li et al. 2014).
Starch is one of the most abundant, renewable, biodegradable, and natural polymers, which makes it a good alternative for synthetic polymers (Le Corre et al. 2010). It has been used as an adhesive in a wide range of products; however, it also has several shortcomings, such as poor water resistance, low bonding strength, and lower stability compared to conventional adhesives. Recently, several efforts have been made to improve the performance of starch adhesives, especially the stability behavior, to enable starch-based wood adhesives to compete with petrochemical-based wood adhesives (Imam et al. 1999, 2001; Sin et al. 2010). One of the most common methods of starch modification is gelatinization, which is a process that involves molecular events associated with the heating of starch in the presence of water. When starches are subjected to high temperatures (typically greater than 50 °C) in a sufficient amount of water, the granules absorb water, swell, and rupture because of the disruption of amylopectin double helices (hydrogen bonds dissociation), while amylase preferentially leaches out of the swollen granules. These events are accompanied by a dramatic increase in the system's viscosity as the granule structure is progressively ruptured (Garcia et al. 2016; Ji et al.2017).
The cassava starch used in this study was taken from the roots of subtropical crops, where amylose accounted for 17% of the composition and amylopectin accounted for 83% (Hung et al.2017). In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, CS has gradually displaced grain starches in various applications. CS is delicate and contains a small amount of impurities. The granules are spherical and have a diameter of 20 μm or less. The gelatinization temperature of CS is between 58 and 69 °C. When CS is gelatinized, it has a high peak viscosity and is easily gelled. However, if the gelatinization temperature is properly controlled, a transparent starch paste can be achieved, which can be used for the bonding of corrugated board, plywood, and adhesive tape.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) is produced through the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It has many useful properties, such as excellent water solubility, chemical resistance, and optical properties, as well as good biocompatibility. PVOH is one of the most common synthetic water polymers produced in the world (Sridach et al. 2013). For common applications, PVOH is dissolved in water to be used as an adhesive or a sizing and coating agent, as well as tissue scaffolding materials for biomedical applications (Ramaraj 2007; Kaboorani and Riedl 2011). It also plays an important role in adhesives that can be used as a protective colloid. Both PVOH and starch are polar substances, which have hydroxyl groups (-OH) in their chemical structures. These highly polar hydroxyl groups tend to form intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which improve the integrity of PVOH-starch blends (Tang and Alavi 2011). However, to the authors' knowledge, the effects of PVOH on the performance of CS-based wood adhesives have not been investigated to a great extent.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to improve the mobility and storage stability of a cassava starch-based wood adhesive with the use of PVOH.
Cassava starch (CS) was supplied by Beidahuang Co. (Harbin, China). Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was purchased from Liaoning Quanrui Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Liaoning, China). Ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8, APS) was purchased from Tianjin Yongda Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China). PVOH was purchased from Kurary Co. (Tokyo, Japan), thealcoholysis of PVOH1 is 92% to 94% and the alcoholysis of PVOH2 is 97.5% to 99%. Polymethylene polyphenylene isocyanate (PAPI, industrial grade) was purchased from Bayer Company (Shanghai, China), and birch block (Betula platyphylla hardwood) was purchased from Jinhai Wood Co. Ltd. (Dunhua, China).
A total of 10 g of PVOH powder and 90 mL of distilled water was slowly added to a 500-mL four-necked round-bottom flask and constantly stirred at room temperature for 10 min to 15 min. This mixture was heated until completely dissolved and kept at 90 °C for 1 h to obtain a homogeneous PVOH solution with a final concentration of 10 wt%.
A set amount of PVOH solution was dropped into the 500-mL four-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with a thermometer (Fangjun instrument factory, Shanghai, China), mechanical stirrer (Renhe instrument factory, Changzhou, China), and a reflux condenser (Tianbo instrument factory, Tianjin, China), and the temperature was increased to 50 °C. Then, 0.14 g (based on dry starch) ammonium persulfate was added (at a concentration of 10 wt %) and reacted for 30 min. Then, 70g CS slurry was added to the 140g water system and the temperature was increased to 61 °C. Finally, sodium hydroxide (concentration of 10 wt%) was added to adjust the pH of system to make the CS slurry gelatinize, and the reaction continued for 50 min to obtain the starch-based wood adhesive. Polyisocyanate was added at 24 g (based on pure starch-based wood adhesive) to the previously weighed wood adhesive to prepare the polyisocyanate starch adhesive.
where X is the average value, Xi is the result for each sample, and n is the number of samples in each group.
The viscosity was measured using a NDJ-5S rotational viscometer (Ping Xuan Shanghai Scientific Instrument Co. Shanghai, China) at 25 °C with a No. 3 rotor at 30 rpm according to the standard GB/T 14074-2006 (2006).
where a is the quantity of adhesive (g) after drying, and b is the quantity (g) before drying. The solid content had units of %.
Birch blocks coated with starch adhesive that had undergone shear strength testing were characterized by SEM (FEI Quanta 200, Phillips, Netherlands). The SEM was operated at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. Samples were coated with gold under a vacuum before testing.
Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out with a TG 209F3 (NETZSCH, Serb, Germany) to determine the thermal stability of the adhesives. The adhesive was ground into a homogenous powder after it was naturally dried, and 2 to 3 mg samples were loaded to uniformly cover the bottom of an 85-μL aluminum oxide crucible. The crucible was heated from room temperature to 800 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min under an argon atmosphere (flow rate: 40 mL/min).
Infrared spectra of each modified starch adhesive was measured with a Bruker OPUS 7.5 FTIR spectrophotometer (Bruker OPUS 7.5, Karlsruhe, Germany) to examine the changes in the chemical structure of the starch adhesive with modification. The specimens were naturally dried and powdered to complete the test. The spectra were recorded over a wave number range between 4000 and 400 cm-1 at a resolution of 4 cm-1 for 32 scans.
The shear strength of multiple types of starch-based wood adhesives, which were obtained by changing the type of PVOH and keeping the pH similar, are shown in Fig. 2.
Without polyisocyanate, the shear strength of the PVOH1 (RS-1717)-modified starch adhesive was better than that using PVOH2 (RS-2117) in the dry state. Adding 12% polyisocyanate (this data was taken from previous experimental results), the shear strength of PVOH2-modified starch adhesive was higher than that using PVOH1 in the dry state when the pH exceeded 9.00, while the shear strength of the dry state of PVOH1-modified starch adhesive was higher than that using PVOH2 while the pH was under 8.40. However, the shear strength of the wet state of PVOH2-modified starch adhesive was very low (about 0.2 to 0.4 MPa). Polyisocyanate improved the shear strength considerable. Thus, choosing PVOH1 as a protective colloid and adjusting the pH to 8.80 could produce good shear strength in both the dry and wet states.
The alcoholysis degree is an important indicator that measures the quantity of hydrophilic hydroxyl and hydrophobic acetyl groups in PVOH molecules. With a reduction of the alcoholysis degree, the number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups of PVOH molecules decreases and the ability to form hydrogen bonds in PVOH molecules also decreases, while the number of hydrophobic acetyl groups increases (Minsk et al. 1941). It is known that the alcoholysis degree of PVOH1 is approximately 92.0% to 94.0%, and the alcoholysis degree of PVOH2 varies from 97.5% to 99.0% (both data got from Kurary Co.). Because the quantity of hydrophobic acetyl groups of PVOH1 was greater than that of PVOH2, the water resistance of PVOH1-modified adhesive was superior to that of the adhesive modified by PVOH2. There are many hydroxyl groups in the PVOH and starch. The active hydrogen atoms could react with -NCO of PAPI to enhance the shear strength. On the other hand, the water in the wood also could react with -NCO to promote the curing of the adhesive. These results suggest that the number of acetyl groups of PVOH1 was greater than that of PVOH2, so the reactivity of PAPI was reduced, which made the shear strength increase by a small amount. In conclusion, the alcoholysis degree of PVOH had an important effect on the performance of the adhesive, where a higher alcoholysis degree led to poor water resistance; thus, PVOH1 was selected as the protective colloid in the starch-based wood adhesives to obtain better mechanical properties.
To further investigate the performance of the two different PVOHs, thermogravimetric analysis was used to analyze their thermal decomposition stability. Thermogravimetric (TG) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves for the degradation of PVOH1 and PVOH2 in argon are shown in Fig. 3.
The shape of the weight loss curve is consistent with the generally accepted two-step mechanism for degradation of PVOH in an inert atmosphere and was confirmed to be a two-step process by the DTG curve (Thomas et al. 2001). The first stage was primarily associated with the elimination of side-groups to generate water and acetic acid, followed by the breakdown of the polymer backbone at higher temperatures (Holland and Hay 2001). From the curves, it is clear that the initial decomposition temperature of PVOH1 was higher than that of PVOH2. When the temperature was 309.6 °C, PVOH1 had a sharp change in the rate of weight loss, indicating rapid elimination of the polymer. PVOH2 had a sharp change in the rate of weight loss at 268.7 °C, which was lower than PVOH1 by 40.9 °C. Therefore, PVOH1 had a better thermal stability than PVOH2. This result is consistent with earlier results.
The difference in shear strengths of multiple types of starch-based wood adhesives, which were obtained by changing the dosage of PVOH1, is shown in Fig. 4.
By increasing the amount of PVOH1, the shear strength (dry state) of starch-based wood adhesives improved gradually. The reason for this increase is that increasing the dosage of PVOH1leads to more hydroxyl groups, so the opportunity to form hydrogen bonds between starch and PVOH1 increases. It is well known that hydrogen bonds are the origin of the adhesive bond, so the shear strength of the adhesive in the dry state increased. However, the shear strength (wet state) of the adhesive showed a tendency to increase first and then decrease with an increase in the amount of PVOH1. When the amount of PVOH1 was 7 wt% (starch basis), the best wet shear strength was obtained, which was better than the standard of 0.7 MPa. Because there was an excess of hydroxyl groups, there was no ability for cross-linking with PAPI, which impeded the reaction of PAPI with the active hydrogen; thus, the wet shear strength was reduced. Therefore, the optimal amount of PVOH1 was 7 wt% (starch basis).
The influence on the physical properties of starch-based wood adhesives, which were obtained by changing the dosage of PVOH1, is shown in Fig. 5.
The viscosity of the starch adhesives gradually increased with increasing PVOH1 dosage, as shown in Fig. 5 (a). When the amount of PVOH1 exceeded 7 wt%, the viscosity of the adhesive increased dramatically. Increasing the amount of PVOH1 can increase the chances that the PVOH1 macromolecules encounter starch macromolecules to form hydrogen bonds. Thus, the viscosity of the adhesive increased with the amount of PVOH1. Considering the effect of viscosity on the sizing process which ranged from 3000 mPa•s to 5000 mPa•s to sizing easily, the amount of PVOH1 should be controlled to obtain a moderate viscosity. Therefore, the optimum amount of PVOH1 was 7% (based on dry starch), and the viscosity of the adhesive was 3200 mPa•s.
As shown in Fig. 5(b), increasing the amount of PVOH1 can improve the solid content of the adhesive gradually. When the amount of PVOH1 increased from 5 wt% to 9 wt%, the solid content of the adhesive was in the range of 33.1% to 33.5%, an increase of only 0.4%, which confirmed that PVOH1 can produce a good network with starch. When the amount of PVOH1was greater than 9 wt%, the solid content of the adhesive increased sharply to 34.5%, indicating that the amount of PVOH1 was excessive which dispersed in the starch gel and increased the solid content dramatically. Therefore, the optimum amount of PVOH was 7 wt% (starch basis), and the solid content was 33.2%.
In conclusion, the final choice of the amount of PVOH1 was 7 wt% because excellent mechanical and physical properties were obtained.
From Fig. 6(a), adding 7 wt% PVOH1 in the starch adhesive could reduce layering and improve the stability of starch adhesives noticeably. Starch macromolecules are composed of amylose and amylopectin. When the temperature increases, the starch granules absorb water, swell, and rupture to force the amylose and amylopectin out from the granules to form a homogeneous solution. When the temperature decreases, amylose rearranges to separate starch and water (Miles et al. 1985). Many polar hydroxyl groups form intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds between PVOH1 and starch to prevent layering and improve the stability of starch adhesives.

Q: Facebook Open Graph: Issue between Old Facebook News Feed and New Facebook News Feed Are there issues between the old Facebook News Feed and the new one?
Im getting a conflict between the output of my place open graph collection.
In the old news feed, Im getting this output when doing a cross-platform checkin using Open Graph which I expect to be correct.

However in the new Facebook news feed, I got this kind of aggregation. No map is shown and objects are just align in Gallery Layout.

I followed this link which got me a correct result in the old news feed.
Now Im just going in circles here to find a correct fix for the new Facebook News Feed.
Update
This is actually a Facebook bug. They are currently working on this, see here

A: Facebook constantly works on improvements to newsfeed with the goal of making it as relevant as possible for the viewer.  Variations in display are to be expected.  In this case similar actions are being aggregated into a single "story."  This is normal.  From the viewer's standpoint a set of similar stories is often more compelling (and less spammy-feeling) than a bunch of very similar stories.
In other words it is unlikely to be from any error on your side.
