Cp2 MX2 I
Cp2 MX2 I
Cp2 ZrCl2 Ia
The present invention relates to a process for propene oligomerization catalyzed by transition metal complexes in liquid phase to give propene oligomers with a high content of terminal double bonds.
It is possible with the aid of complexes of the transition metals of group IVb of the periodic table, for example the dicyclopentadienyl complexes of tetravalent titanium, zirconium or hafnium, to polymerize olefins such as ethene, propene or other 1-olefins to high molecular weight compounds in the presence of an organo-aluminum cocatalyst such as methylaluminoxane (cf. DE-A 26 08 933).
Oligomeric 1-olefins, especially oligomers of propene, can be prepared catalytically in a variety of ways.
Propene can be catalytically dimerized with the aid of π-allylnickel halides in the presence of phosphines and organoaluminum compounds (Brennstoff-Chemie 49 (1968) 323). This process is very suitable for preparing propene dimers but gives only very small amounts of trimers and tetramers and therefore cannot be used to prepare them.
A process for propene oligomerization is described in Erdol und Kohle 12, (1959) 547, in which aluminum chloride in nitromethane is used as catalyst. Most of the propene oligomers produced in this process have more than 24 carbon atoms, i.e. propene trimers or tetramers are likewise obtainable by this process only in low yield. Furthermore, the catalyst system used becomes inactive after only 7 to 8 hours and is prone to explosive spontaneous decomposition. This process is thus also unsuitable for industrial use.
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 109 (1987) 6189 discloses that propane with (R)-ethylenebis(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-indenyl)dimethylzirconium and methylaluminoxane as cocatalyst in the presence of hydrogen gives saturated oligomeric alkanes.
With a similar catalyst system, namely with (S)-[1,1'-ethylenebis(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-indenyl)]-zirconium bis(O-acetyl-(R)-mandelate) (56.6 mg=0.076 mmol)/methylaluminoxane (520 mg=9 mmol of Al) dissolved in 155 ml of toluene in the absence of hydrogen it is possible, according to Angew. Chem. 101, (1989) 1304 to obtain an 88% yield of propene oligomers from 20.4 g of propene (0.48 mol). However, in order to obtain this result it is necessary to set a high catalyst/alkene ratio, i.e. the propene must be added to the catalyst very slowly, in the specific case over a period of 19 hours--since otherwise polymers are the main product.
EP-A 268 214 describes a process for preparing propene oligomers in the presence or absence of hydrogen with the aid of titanocene, zirconocene and hafnocene catalysts prepared from peralkylated cyclopentadienyl ligands, and aluminoxane cocatalysts. However, peralkylated metallocenes of this type are, just like the zirconium catalysts described above, obtainable only be elaborate syntheses, and their use in an industrial process is uneconomic because of their high cost. Titanocenes, zirconocenes and hafnocenes with unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligands do not, according to this publication, provide any oligomers but lead exclusively to the formation of polymers.
EP-A 257 696 discloses a process for dimerizing α-olefins such as propene with the aid of zirconocene and hafnocene catalysts in the presence of aluminoxane cocatalysts, the chosen atomic ratio of aluminum to zirconium or hafnium being from 1 to 100. A higher atomic ratio of aluminum to zirconium or hafnium leads to an increase in propene oligomers, at the expense of dimers, in the product. The productivity of the catalysts for preparing propene oligomers in this process is from 30 to 700 ml of product per g of catalyst×h, which is so low that economic preparation of propene oligomers by this process is impossible.
It is an object of the present invention to find a process for selectively preparing propene oligomers with a high content of terminal double bonds, in particular a process for selectively preparing unsaturated propene oligomers with a high content of di-, tri-, tetra- and pentamers, which can be carried out economically with the aid of a catalyst which can be prepared straightforwardly and at low cost. Moreover, the catalyst system ought to display not only high selectivity but also, in particular, high productivity.
We have found that this object is achieved by a process for propene oligomerization catalyzed by transition metal complexes in liquid phase to give propene oligomers with a high content of terminal double bonds, which comprises oligomerizing propene in the presence of a catalyst of the formula I
Cp2 MX2 I
where Cp is an unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl unit and/or a mono-C1 -C4 -alkylcyclopentadienyl unit, M is zirconium or hafnium and the ligands X are each hydride and/or halide and/or methyl, and in the presence of an aluminoxane cocatalyst, and where the ratio of the amounts of the catalyst I and the aluminoxane cocatalyst is such that the M/Al atomic ratio is from 1:250 to 1:1000, employing a temperature of from 50° to 110° C. and a pressure of from 30 to 100 bar.
The catalysts I are zirconocenes and hafnocenes, that is complexes of tetravalent zirconium and hafnium in which the metal atom M is bonded in a sandwich structure between two unsubstituted and/or C1 -C4 -monoalkyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl groups Cp, with the remaining valences of the central atom M being saturated by hydride and/or halide ions and/or by methyl groups. The zirconocene and hafnocene catalysts which are particularly preferably used in the process according to the invention are those whose cyclopentadienyl groups are unsubstituted. Halide ions which can be bonded to the metal atom are fluoride, chloride, bromide and/or iodide ions.
Examples of suitable catalysts are: Cp2 ZrF2, Cp2 ZrCl2, Cp2 ZrBr2, Cp2 ZrI2, Cp2 ZrHCl, Cp2 Zr(CH3)Cl, Cp2 Zr(CH3)2, Cp2 HfF2, Cp2 HfCl2, Cp2 HfBr2, Cp2 HfI2, Cp2 HfHCl, Cp2 Hf(CH3)Cl, Cp2 Hf(CH3)2.
It is expedient to employ only one catalyst in the oligomerization, but it is also possible to use mixtures of various catalysts. Preferred ligands X in the process according to the invention are chloride, hydride and methyl, and the particularly preferred central atom M for the catalysts I in the process according to the invention is zirconium. Zirconocene dichloride of the formula Ia
Cp2 ZrCl2 Ia
whose cyclopentadienyl groups are unsubstituted is particularly preferably used as catalyst I in the process according to the invention.
The catalysts I can be synthesized in a straight-forward way by known processes, e.g. as described in Brauer (editor): Handbuch der Praparativen, Anorganischen Chemie, Volume 2, 3rd edition, pages 1395 to 1397, Enke, Stuttgart 1978.
The cocatalysts used are organoaluminum compounds, preferably aluminoxanes. Aluminoxanes are formed on partial hydrolysis of organoaluminum compounds, for example those of the formula AlR3, AlR2 Y and Al2 R3 Y3 where R can be, for example, C1 -C10 -alkyl, preferably C1 -C5 -alkyl, or C3 -C10 -cycloalkyl, C7 -C12 -aralkyl or -alkaryl and/or phenyl or naphthyl, and where Y can be hydrogen, halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, or C1 -C10 -alkoxy, preferably methoxy or ethoxy. Partial hydrolysis of organoaluminum compounds of this type can take place by a variety of processes, e.g. that of DE-A 3 240 383 or of EP-A 268 214. The resulting oxygen-containing aluminoxanes are not in general pure compounds but mixtures of oligomers of the formula II ##STR1## where n is usually from 6 to 20 and R has the abovementioned meanings. Hydrolysis of organoaluminum compounds with different radicals R or mixtures of organoaluminum compounds with different radicals R results in aluminoxanes II with different radicals R, which can likewise be employed a cocatalyst in the process according to the invention. However, the aluminoxanes expediently used as cocatalysts have identical radicals R. It is also possible to use mixtures of different aluminoxanes as cocatalysts. The preferred aluminoxane in the process according to the invention is methylaluminoxane. Since the aluminoxanes used according to the invention as cocatalysts are not, owing to their mode of preparation, pure compounds, the molarity of aluminoxane solutions hereinafter is based on their aluminum content.
The amount of catalyst I relative to that of the cocatalyst employed for the oligomerization corresponds to an M/Al atomic ratio of, in general, from 1:250 to 1:1000, preferably from 1:300 to 1:600, and particularly preferably from 1:400 to 1:500.
The propene oligomerization is advantageously carried out in liquid phase and in a solvent, expediently using small amounts of a solvent, preferably an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, cumene, naphthalene, tetralin, hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, nonane, decane, dodecane, cyclohexane, decalin, petroleum ether or naphtha. Particularly preferred solvents are toluene and xylene. The solvent/propene ratio by volume in the process according to the invention is generally from 1:20 to 1:500, preferably from 1:30 to 1:200, and particularly preferably from 1:40 to 1:100, where the propene volume relates to its volume under the pressure applied in each case. Propene is liquid under the conditions employed.
The oligomerization according to the invention is generally carried out at from 50° to 110° C., preferably from 60° to 90° C. and under from 30 to 100 bar, preferably from 30 to 50 bar. The metallocene/propene ratio is not as a rule critical for the process according to the invention, but the metallocene/propene molar ratios are expediently from 1:50 to 1:250000, preferably from 1:70 to 1:200000, and particularly from 1:90 to 1:190000.
The process according to the invention can be carried out either batchwise, e.g. in stirred autoclaves, or continuously, for example in tubular reactors. After removal of the catalyst by distilling the product or by hydrolyzing it and subsequently filtering off the solid precipitate, the reaction mixture is expediently worked up by distillation, if required under reduced pressure.
The propene used as raw material in the process according to the invention can derive from a variety of source, e.g. from crack gases, for example from steam crackers. It is likewise possible to use the propene produced in propane dehydrogenation, for example. It is likewise possible to use propene from other sources. The propene can be employed in purified form, but it can also be employed as mixtures with other hydrocarbons which are inert under the reaction conditions.
The process according to the invention makes it possible to prepare propene oligomers with terminal double bonds selectively, in particular to prepare selectively propene oligomers with a high content of tri-, tetra- and pentamers and with high productivities.
30 ml of 1.5 molar methylaluminoxane solution in toluene were introduced into a 2 l stirred autoclave, 900 ml (13.3 mol) of liquid propene were condensed in, and the mixture was heated to 60° C., during which the pressure rose to 20 bar. Subsequently, 40.5 mg (0.17 mmol) of zirconocene (dicyclopentadienylzirconium dichloride), dissolved in 7 ml of a 1.5 molar methylaluminoxane solution in toluene, were added and oligomerization was carried out for 60 minutes. The aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio was 250:1. The yiel was 5% ml of oligomer mixture. The productivity of the catalyst under the reaction conditions was 11900 ml of product/g of catalyst×h. Analysis of the product by gas chromatography showed the following composition:
______________________________________Dimers: 17.5%Trimers: 25.9%Tetramers: 17.5%Pentamers: 6.9%Hexamers: 2.5%Heptamers: 0.5%Higher oligomers: 29.2%______________________________________
The dimers comprised 5% 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene and 91.5% 2-methyl-1-pentene. The trimers comprised 7% 2,4,-5-trimethyl-1-hexene and 87.5% 2,4-dimethyl-1-heptene. The tetramers comprised two unidentified main isomers in contents of 47.0 and 40.0% respectively. Analysis of the products by infrared and NMR spectroscopy proves that there was exclusive formation of hydrocarbons with terminal double bonds, mainly located in vinylidene groups.
Examples 2 to 4 were carried out in accordance with Example 1 by using the different aluminum/zirconium atomic ratios indicated in the table.

Rutland man guilty of setting fires in national forestNovember 15,2013Local man admits
starting forest fires
A Rutland man has pleaded guilty to starting fires on Green Mountain National Forest land.
Jack P. Dickson pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court to three federal misdemeanor charges of setting a fire on national land without authority, leaving a fire without completely extinguishing it and damaging government property.
As part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Dickson was fined $500 for each offense. However, as part of the plea deal, the government will suspend the fines on the condition that Dickson isnt charged again with a federal, state or local crime during his two-year probation.
U.S. Forest Service agents and the Vermont State Police fire investigation unit arrested Dickson after an investigation into a 6-acre wildfire that burned a section of woodland in Mount Holly in March 2012.MORE IN This Just InMore than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the state in...

New London - The union representing New London police expressed frustration this week over what it claims is an internal review by department leadership into a posting on the union's website.
At issue is a posting asserting that a Fox television news reporter was "verbally assaulted" while trying to collect information from the police department. The posting went on to say, "The city should take a proactive stand and take all action necessary to assure his (the reporter's) safety."
It is unclear if the posting remains on the website.
AFSCME Council 15, in the statement issued Friday, said the posting led to a request from a department captain that union Treasurer Roger Baker submit information outlining where the information originated, what statements were made and who authorized the posting. Baker, who manages the content on the website, was asked to submit a "subscribed memorandum," which is a sworn statement notarized by a supervisor.
"There certainly is a chilling effect when internal affairs investigations are begun," union attorney Eric Brown said in a statement. "The First Amendment is a cherished right, and neither police officers nor union members are required to give up that right to free speech when they go to work for a police department."
The internal review appears to be "an attempt by the department to interfere with internal union operations," Brown said in the statement.
The website has long been used as a platform for the recognition of officers' achievements, political updates and often an outlet for criticism of police department and city leadership and policies.
Local Union President Todd Lynch called the investigation part of "an ongoing attack against our union and specifically executive board members."
The union made similar claims in December after union Vice President Officer David McElroy was fired for allegedly leaking an internal police document about an alleged rape and lying about it. McElroy was rehired in March.
The rape, which was later discounted by investigators as being a consensual act, led to a flurry of criticism of the department.
Lynch, who has a pending lawsuit against Chief Margaret Ackley, said the request for information "crosses the line."
"To try and order somebody to tell you where you got information is ridiculous. We look at it as trying to silence the union, which will not happen, not as long as I'm president," Lynch said.
Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said he could not comment on any ongoing investigations or "internal matters under formal review."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Friday issued a statement saying, "We will review the matter and examine the union's complaint."

Visited the Chonqing on W Broadway for the all you can eat Dim Sum and had the groupon coupon to boot. We were in a group of 18 and were seated on 3 different tables. Some of us in the group were running late so the first thing I was told is "We are busy and you cannot hold the table for more than an hour". Fair enough we respect that. One of our group tables was having its full occupancy so they insisted that we should start to order immediately. Again we complied as we were in a for agood time and wanted to celebrate Mothers day so what the heck. So while one table was eating my wife and I were at the other table watching. Hehehehe. Anyway when all were there the food was served fairly quickly considering the restaurant was full. The Dim Sum itself was good and most of the dishes we ordered were tasty. However when we ordered chili oil we had to ask for it atleast on 7 different occasions before we were served the chili oil. Water seemed to be a sacred commodity and was served only after we requested it 3 different times. Come on guys that is the least you can provide the first time around even without asking for it. Anyway exactly an hour later we were done and when we asked for the bill we had one presented to us so quickly and it left us wondering if the service could have been equally efficient. All in all I would say this is a nice place with good Dim Sum but PLEASE go when it is not busy especially avoid going on a Sunday.

The 40' trip was a fantastic experience. You flight very smoothy and discover every thing of Dubai from an other point of view : from the sky !
Bravo to 'Rob' who is a very good pilote and show every thing.
You will be delighted...
Excellent tour. Very professional company. A great way to see Dubai! Would highly recommend this tour
Blanca United Kingdom
Great experience! My first time on a seaplane, and loved it! It's amazing to see Dubai from the air! My favourite views were the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al-Arab and the palm tree island from the sky. Definitely recommend it!
a bit pricey but to my mind theres no other way to see dubai but from the sky
We loved the flight over Dubai by Seawings - it was good organised and the views on Dubai were just amazing. We felt quite safe and comfortable. We can recommend it to everyone, who wants to experience Dubai from another point of view.
At first glance this seems expensive but it was worth every dirham. The only hiccup was that the confirmation number was not working as they have moved buildings which resulted in a panic purchase of a local sim card to get a data connection and send an email whilst shopping.
Otherwise everything went smoothly from the free pre flight drinks to the wonderful views and trip. Plenty of time was given to seeing Dubai and the Palm from many angles so that all on board had a great view. Very smooth flight and interesting sea landing at Jebel Ali. Don't let the haze put you off as it is better from the air.
Manuel G Spain
Fantastic, my wife,s flight in the seaplane has earned me 1,000 browny points. Well worth the cost to see the beaming smile on her face.
Very professional and friendly staff...and the views are amazing! Expensive for a 40 minute trip but would do it again.
Marie H Ireland
Very well organized, professional company, with much obvious attention to safety. Spectacular views and photo opportunities. Woul do it gain.
very expensive, but well worth doing
This is a superb way to really appreciate the way that Dubai has developed over the last few years. You get an amazing view of The World and the Palm Islands, the race track and all of the tall towers.
We had a wonderful flight!! Great views!! This was the first activity we did in Dubai and it helped us get acclimated to the area. All the personnel was very nice.
Caroline F United Kingdom
Excellent experience and well worth doing. This tour gives you a full picture of Dubai, from old city to new city, development areas and housing areas along with amazing views of the tourist attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, World Islands and both palms. Professionally run and lots of fun. Be mindful of the location of take off as this is a taxi ride away from the city and took us around 15mins from the Atlantis costing less than £15 (can't remember exactly). Would definately recommend.
Excellent excelletn excellent a must see if you go to Dubai. GIves you the total idea of the Geography of the city and where things are located. Excellent excellent
My Dubai Seaplane flight was a great experience. All of the staff at eh office and including the pilot were very professional and personable. I have recommended this experience to others.
Alan B United Kingdom
Very enjoyable. Would recommend it to everyone.
Pavlos L Cyprus
It was very nice!
Very professional and friendly pilot. Flight has great safety focus. It was frustrating to have the flight time changed several times though.
- Had issues with the timings.
- The voucher issued was for a specific timing, but the plane company indicated that it's first come first reservation.
- Working with Viator they did indicate this disconnect and offered a refund option, but given planned schedule in Dubai we had to go with the available option.
- though flight company tried their best and provided available options.

Uniformed Alexandria officer denied service at Noodles & Company
This is absolutely unacceptable. In the same way that it's unacceptable to refuse service to a black person. Or a gay person. Or a Jewish person. Or a Muslim person. But I'm betting that a lot of people backing the cop don't think the others are unacceptable.

Allen West Doubts Tammy Duckworth's Loyalty To Country, Angry About Democratic Picks For Benghazi Special Committee
Former congressman Allen West is angry about the Democratic picks for the latest House panel investigating the 2012 Benghazi attack. Speaking yesterday with Janet Mefferd, West criticized Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, Adam Schiff, Linda Sanchez and Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic lawmakers picked to fill the party's five slots on the 12-member GOP-led "special committee."
West especially raised doubts about Duckworth, a veteran who lost both of her legs and the use of her right arm in the Iraq War, raising suspicions about her loyalty to the country.
"Tammy Duckworth, you know I just don't know where her loyalties lie, for her to have been a veteran and a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing and hopefully she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat [sic] party," West said.
He also attacked Sanchez for the "whiny way that she has," called Smith a "geeky little debater" and said Cummings "should not be on that committee."

House Approves $10.5 Billion for Hurricane Relief
September 2, 2005
Washington, DC - U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) issued the following statement on the federal relief effort in the Southern Gulf States in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the $10.5 billion in emergency aidthat the U.S. House passed today:
"The destruction of Hurricane Katrina and the massive flooding of the city of New Orleans and surrounding areas have created a national tragedy that is unprecedented in U.S. history. The resulting humanitarian crisis and the horror that has developed in the streets of New Orleans are both appalling and unacceptable. Our national response must be equal to the need of the victims, and although emergency responders and relief workers on the frontlines are working around the clock to do everything they can,immediate efforts were inadequate.
"Despite this grave tragedy, I am confident that together we will overcome the challenges ahead to help our brothers and sisters of the city of New Orleans and the impacted Gulf region. For the victims and their families, know that your country grieves with you, and we stand with you in this time of need. Be assured that help is on the way.
"President Bush has told the nation that the government will commit all the necessary resources, and we in Congress are working hard to make sure federal aid is delivered and victims are helped. Today the House approved what is likely a first installment of emergency aid for the ravaged areas, and in the last few days thousands of National Guard troops, including 475 Wisconsin soldiers, have been deployed to the Gulf States to provide assistance and security to the region."
"The national community is rallying in other ways as many local communities and volunteers are organizing fundraising drives and other relief projects. I have heard from many constituents who want to know how they can help and who are already assisting in local efforts. The people of western Wisconsin have consistently demonstrated their generosity in times of crisis and once again they are answering the call of compassion.
"There is a lot of work to do in the days, weeks and months ahead, but we will not stop until we have found a safe haven for every citizen, provided the necessary medical care to the weak and ailing, and attended to the needs of all victims of this awful tragedy. May our hearts, thoughts, aid, and support continue to be with the victims and their loved ones over the Labor Day weekend and throughout the relief and reconstruction process."

I was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1964 and grew up in Bat Yam, a working-class satellite suburb of Tel Aviv. I went to high school at Ort Yad Singalowsky near Tel Aviv. After finishing high school in 1982 I served my compulsory two years in the Israeli army. My service was during Israel's invasion of Lebanon. I completed my military service in 1984 with the rank of Staff Sergeant.
In 1989 I started my Bachelor of Arts at Bar-Ilan University in the Combined Program in the Social Sciences. This excellent and innovative program included majors in Sociology, Political Science and Economics. In 1991 I migrated to Australia where I completed my BA with a major in politics at Macquarie University in Sydney. I then went on to complete an Honours degree in Comparative Genocide Studies. I wrote my thesis on the reactions of the Australian press to the Reichskristallnacht (the 'night of broken glass' in November 1938). My research taught me a lot about racism and genocide and the politics and psychology behind them.
In 1997 I changed direction and started a Postgraduate Diploma in Individual Psychotherapy and Relationship Therapy at the Jansen-Newman Institute (JNI) in Sydney. After graduating from JNI I went on to complete an extra year in Gestalt Therapy at the Illawarra Gestalt Centre.
In my second year at JNI I completed a major project called 'Differentiation of Self' based on Murray Bowen's theory of self-differentiation, under the supervision of Dr David Jansen, the co-founder of the Jansen Newman Institute. David believed that therapists must be committed to their own personal work and must achieve considerable emotional maturity (differentiation) before they can work with clients. This project was a major turning point on my personal journey and a difficult emotional challenge. In many ways it was this project that led to my awareness that I also needed to differentiate from the complex Jewish-Israeli identity that my upbringing in Israel has cultivated in me. I wrote about this both in my 'Differentiating from Israel' paper that you can find on this site and also in my contribution to a book I edited, Beyond Tribal Loyalties: Personal Stories of Jewish Peace Activists (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012).
In 1999 I opened my psychotherapy practice Fully Human Psychotherapy & Counselling in Canberra, that I ran for ten years.
In 2000-2001 I was the Secretary of the then Australian National Network of Counsellors Inc. (ANNC — now CAPACAR), and in 2002 I was the President. In 2002 I was also a member of the Liaison and Management Committees of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
I am a student of the humanistic school in psychotherapy and have drawn inspiration from many authors inside and outside my field of work. My favourite author is Ursula Le Guin.
I am passionate about my profession, about educating the public about what we do in therapy and about effective, good quality therapy. I am also passionate and concerned about the situation in Palestine-Israel. I am interested in human potential and the possibilities that exist within our brain to allow us to live a more enlightened, mature and compassionate existence. I have been greatly influenced and inspired personally and professionally by the work of Dr Daniel Siegel, the pioneer who founded the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). IPNB provides a scientific foundation for the field of psychotherapy but it is not limited to psychotherapy. Drawing on new developments in neuroscience, IPNB allows us to think about what makes us human in new ways. It is therefore not only relevant to the field of psychotherapy but to any area of life including politics and the way we behave as groups and societies.
I am deeply concerned about the way politics is practiced everywhere in the world, and the fact that the people who rise to power seem so often to be narcissistic and immature. I would like to see world politics transform into something more humble and down to earth that is focused on service and not on ego, power, privilege or status. I don't think we can hope to fix any of our problems as long as the people who govern us and our societies are so emotionally inadequate for the level of responsibility they hold.
I am worried about the treatment of refugees in Australia and elsewhere, and often wonder about the role that my profession has to play in world politics and in social issues. I have become increasingly interested over the past few years also in environmental issues like deforestation, sustainable living and energy production and the way we treat non-human animals. In March 2013 I stopped eating meat completely. This has been an easy transition for me to make that has had a positive effect on my overall health and energy levels.
Since I gave up my Israeli citizenship in 2001, I have gradually become an activist for Palestinian rights. Among other things I support a one-state solution in Palestine-Israel and a full right of return for the Palestinian refugees and their descendants. To state it clearly, I no longer believe that Israel has a right to exist as an exclusively Jewish state at the expense of the Palestinian people.
I support the BDS campaign (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) as a non-violent way to try to pressure Israel to abandon the occupation and transform itself into a free and democratic state for all its people, whatever their religion or ethnicity. I support the BDS because given Israel's psychology and philosophy of life, I do not see any hope that it will ever change its ways of its own accord.
In January 2010 I moved to the Scottish Highlands and in July that year I re-established my psychotherapy practice. My work website is at http://www.fullyhuman.co.uk/. In addition to my client and clinical supervision work, I write, give talks about Israel and Palestine and run training workshops in psychotherapy.

John Kerry Explains Dem Woes: Voters are Stupid
**Written by Doug Powers
John Kerry has a sinking feeling about the election in November, so he's trying a new tactic to sway people to vote Democrat: Insulting their intelligence:
A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.
"We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what's happening," Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.
Every coffin needs a nail, so, as he's done many times in the past, John Kerry has answered this call to service. Uninformed moronic serfs will supply the hammer on November 2nd.
If this doesn't bump up Dem poll numbers, Kerry's going to start riffing with the "voters mommas are so fat…" jokes to see if that helps.
Have Thurston & Lovey written Massachusetts a check yet for the Bay State luxury taxes they avoided on the SS Rhode Island? (Wait, I'm not supposed to remember that because of my short attention span and all, so nevermind)

SYDNEY The yen skidded to a 33-month low on Monday on reports that an advocate of aggressive monetary easing could soon head the Bank of Japan, while sterling was broadly lower following Moody's downgrade of Britain's prized triple-A sovereign rating.
The Nikkei newspaper reported the Japanese government is likely to nominate Haruhiko Kuroda and Kikuo Iwata, both vocal advocates of aggressive monetary expansion, as BOJ governor and deputy governor.
"Kuroda is a fan of a weaker yen and of deflation-bashing," said Kit Juckes, strategist at Societe Generale.
Not surprisingly, the report prompted investors to take a fresh swipe at the yen. As a result, the dollar shot up to 94.77, from 93.39 late in New York Friday, reaching highs not seen since May 2010.
The euro jumped to 125.36, from 123.12, but remained shy of its 34-month peak of 127.71 set early this month. Both the dollar and euro were last at 94.67 and 125.20 respectively.
"Heaven only knows whether that's an overreaction," Juckes said, adding his year-end target of 100 for dollar/yen and a longer term target of 110 remained intact.
Investors also took aim at sterling, pushing it to a 31-month low of $1.5073 and a record low against the New Zealand dollar at NZ$1.8025.
Late on Friday, Moody's cut Britain's rating by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa, citing weak prospects for economic growth. Britain joined the United States and France in having lost its triple-A rating from at least one major agency.
The outlook is now stable, meaning any further change is unlikely for the next year or so.
Sterling also lost aground on the euro, which hit 87.73 pence, highest since October 2011.
Against the dollar, the common currency edged up to $1.3229 from a six-week low around $1.3145. Further upside for the euro is seen limited as investors eye an unpredictable election in Italy.
Exit polls will be published shorter after polls close at 1400 GMT on Monday. Full official results are expected by early Tuesday.
A weak government could usher in new instability in the euro zone's third largest economy and cause another crisis of confidence in the European Union's single currency.
Offering a small distraction for investors in Asia, HSBC will release its February survey on China's manufacturing sector at 0145 GMT.
In January, growth in China's giant factory sector accelerated to a two-year high. Investors will be wanting to see if that can be sustained.

Kailua Kona, HI
UPDATE 6/17: HUGE PRICE REDUCTION to reflect the Owners increased level of motivation. At this reduced price, the ROI jumps up to nearly 50%!
Very profitable "fast casual" family-style ethnic restaurant which has long served this community boasting "Healthy", "Fresh", & "Affordable" meals!
What is "Fast Casual" and why is it significant in the restaurant industry? Wikipedia defines "Fast Casual" as: A type of restaurant that doesn't offer full table service (no waiters/waitresses), but promises a higher quality of food and atmosphere than a "Fast Food" restaurant. It is a relatively new and growing concept positioned between "Fast Food" and "Casual Dining". This is a newer trend, and provides an attractive option for a buyer seeking to be at the forefront of the industry.
This restaurant's location is deeply established and warmly embraced by the local community, and the great food is enjoyed by both visitors and residents alike. This facility offers dine-in and take-out menu's that use the same authentic family recipes that have been handed down through the generations, which are prepared right in front of the customer. The Owners have thoughtfully created an open cooking area which gives a special, interactive ambiance between the patrons and the chefs who are preparing their meals. Every part of these healthy, wholesome meals are created on location from scratch, using only the freshest ingredients sourced from local farmers. It is this authenticity that keeps so many customers providing repeat business. Another "bonus" is the fact that the active liquor license permits the sale of beer and wine, high profit margin items, which can supplement revenue significantly. The restaurants "AAA location" has been strategically selected within the community to best cater to a diverse (and many devout) following of patrons. Good businesses like this one in these particular locations don't appear on the market frequently. The new owners will benefit immediately by being able to assume the excellent lease agreement which is in place and will have strong cash-flow starting on day 1. No cost was spared during the build-out; only 'top of the line' commercial kitchen appliances/equipment were purchased and incorporated in the kitchen design to efficiently maximize the overall space. Also noteworthy are the nearly 140 outstanding reviews (4 & 5 star ratings) on both Yelp and Trip Advisor praising all facets of the restaurant in detail: from the quality of the food, the warm and stimulating theme of the dining area, the friendly and professional staff that served them, and lastly, the overall dining experience and value. This value can be seen by the year over year gross sales which have increased significantly since inception. Why start from the bottom in the restaurant industry and assume the huge risk of a new start-up for those first three years trying to get established and branded when you can position yourself right up at the top, all while entering the industry at well below market value! This business has set a great track record and growth pace with a potential for even more value to be added with fresh energy and healthy management. Implementing several low cost yet highly effective growth strategies the current owner would like to share with the new owners can and should propel the business to new heights never before seen in a relatively short period of time.
** IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is an operating business being offered for sale CONFIDENTIALLY.

Roger Moore makes his first appearance as "Bond...James Bond" in 1973's Live and Let Die. Bond is dispatched to the States to stem the activities of Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans to take over the Western Hemisphere by converting everyone into heroin addicts. The woman in the case is Solitaire (Jane Seymour in her movie debut), an enigmatic interpreter of tarot cards. The obligatory destructive-chase sequence occurs at the film's midpoint, with Bond being chased in a motorboat by Mr. Big's henchmen, slashing his way through the marshlands and smashing up a wedding party. Clifton James makes the first of several Bond appearances as redneck sheriff Pepper, while Geoffrey Holder is an enthusiastic secondary villain. The title song, written by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, provides the frosting on this 007 confection. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Amazon Will Be Apple's Top Competitor In Tablets
Tablet Product Strategists Should View Amazon As Their New "Frenemy"
August 29, 2011
Why Read This Report
With 28.7 million iPads sold worldwide to date, Apple's lead in the tablet market looks invincible. Enter Amazon.com, whose tablet can compete on price, content, and commerce. If it's launched at the right price with enough supply, we see Amazon's tablet easily selling 3 million to 5 million units in Q4 alone, disrupting not only Apple's product strategy but other tablet manufacturers' as well. Apple will maintain a strong lead in market share, but Amazon will gain ground quickly and give product strategists from media, software, retail, banking, and other firms a reason to kick app development for Android tablets into high gear.

Macbeth: Something Wicked Comes to the Secret Theatre
Our Price
Full Price
More than 400 years after it was written, actors still refer to it as "the Scottish play," fearful to even mention its name. Such is the dark power of Macbeth, a mystique that has enraptured audiences for centuries. Shakespeare's shortest tragedy is also his most caustic and thrilling. Witches, murders, ghosts and a femme fatale (not to mention an "eye of newt") combine in a bubbling cauldron of drama. Follow Macbeth on his bloody path to the throne of Scotland, though you may have to step over the many bodies he leaves in his wake. Something wicked this way comes ... to the stage as the Secret Theatre mounts this timeless tale of ambition gone horrifically amuck.

So far, I've found the Japanese tape to be the pick of the litter, followed by Swiss German, Haitian Creole, and Western Armenian. I couldn't stand more than a few minutes of German and Spanish, which I already know, but for someone else, they might be just the ticket.
Again, if you want a good place to start with Japanese, Pimsleur makes it a walk in the park.

Reforms on mind, North Korean Parliament meets for second time
Pyongyang: North Korea`s parliament passed a law on Tuesday adding one more year to compulsory education in the socialist nation in the first policy change under leader Kim Jong Un made public by state media.
Deputies to the Supreme People`s Assembly convened in the capital, Pyongyang, for the second time in six months, a notable departure from the once-a-year pattern of sessions under late leader Kim Jong II.
The session is being watched closely for signs of policy changes under new young leader Kim Jong Un, who took over as leader after his father`s December death.
Parliament voted to extend state-sponsored schooling to 12 years from the previous 11, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. Kim was among those attending the session, KCNA said.
North Korea`s constitution guarantees free education for its schoolchildren. However, the dispatch did not say how much adding another year to schooling would cost the government.
The Supreme People`s Assembly has 687 elected deputies from across the country who meet to discuss and pass laws and policies, as well as elect or recall figures serving in leadership posts of top state organisations, according to Kim Song Chun, an official from the parliament`s Presidium.
At the last session in April, Kim Jong Un was made first chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission, the body`s top post.
The Presidium did not release an agenda for tuesday meeting, and foreign reporters were denied access to the session.
