Different types of the commercial surface treatment InkAid have been evaluated as a surface treatment to enhance print quality of silver nano-particle ink structures printed on polyimide and polyethene substrate. Originally these coatings have been specified to be applied on substrates for graphical ink jet printing. On the coated polyimide and polyethene substrates lines of different widths have been printed using a Dimatix materials printer together with silver nano-particle ink manufactured by Advanced Nano Products. The prints have then been evaluated in terms of print quality and resistivity before and after sintering. The results show that the application of these coatings can improve the print quality considerably, making it possible to print lines with a good definition, which is not otherwise possible with this type of ink on this substrate types. It has been found that the coating Semi Gloss provides the best results, both in terms of print quality as well as the lowest resistivity. The resistivity on polyethene is 3.5*10-7Ωm at best when sintered at 150°C and for polyimide 8.9*10-8Ωm sintered at 200°C. This corresponds to a conductivity of about 4.5% and 18%of bulk silver, respectively. It can be concluded that applying such PVP based coatings to polyethene and polyimide will increase the print quality quite substantially, making it possible to print patterns with requirements of smaller line widths and more details than what is possible without coating.
Thin inkjet-printed tracks of silver nanoparticles have previously been observed to show a non-reversible decrease in resistance when exposed to a high degree of relative humidity and thus providing sensor functionality with a memory effect. This paper provides a more in-depth explanation of the observed humidity sensor effect that originates from inkjet-printed silver nanoparticle sensors on a paper substrate. It is shown that the geometry of the sensor has a large effect on the sensor's initial resistance, and therefore also on the sensor's resistive dynamic range. The importance of the sensor geometry is believed to be due to the amount of solvent from the ink interacting with the coating of the paper substrate, which in turn enables the diffusion of salts from the paper coating into the ink and thus affecting the silver ink.
Printed electronics is a rapidly developing field where many components can already be manufactured on flexible substrates by printing or by other high speed manufacturing methods. However, the functionality of even the most inexpensive microcontroller or other integrated circuit is, at the present time and for the foreseeable future, out of reach by means of fully printed components. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate hybrid printed electronics, where regular electrical components are mounted on flexible substrates to achieve high functionality at a low cost. Moreover, the use of paper as a substrate for printed electronics is of growing interest because it is an environmentally friendly and renewable material and is, additionally, the main material used for many packages in which electronics functionalities could be integrated. One of the challenges for such hybrid printed electronics is the mounting of the components and the interconnection between layers on flexible substrates with printed conductive tracks that should provide as low a resistance as possible while still being able to be used in a high speed manufacturing process. In this article, several conductive adhesives are evaluated as well as soldering for mounting surface mounted components on a paper circuit board with inkjet printed tracks and, in addition, a double sided Arduino compatible circuit board is manufactured and programmed.
The resistance of inkjet printed lines using a silver nanoparticle based ink can be very dependent on the substrate. A very large difference in resistivity was observed for tracks printed on paper substrates with aluminum oxide based coatings compared to silica based coatings. Silica based coatings are often cationized with polymers using chloride as a counter ion. It is suggested that the precipitation of silver salts is the cause of the high resistivity, since papers pretreated with salt solutions containing ions that precipitate silver salts gave a high resistance. Silver nitrate has a high solubility and paper pretreated with nitrate ions gave a low resistivity without sintering. The results obtained show that, by choosing the correct type of paper substrate, it is possible to manufacture printed structures, such as interconnects on paper, without the need for, or at least to reduce the need for, post-print sintering. This phenomenon is, of course, ink specific. Inks without or with a low silver ion content are not expected to behave in this manner. In some sensor applications, a high resistivity is desired and, by using the correct combination of ink and paper, these types of sensors can be facilitated.
In this paper an ink-jet printed write once read many (WORM) resistive memory fabricated on paper substrate is presented. The memory elements are programmed for different resistance states by printing triethylene glycol monoethyl ether on the substrate before the actual memory element is printed using silver nano particle ink. The resistance is thus able to be set to a broad range of values without changing the geometry of the elements. A memory card consisting of 16 elements is manufactured for which the elements are each programmed to one of four defined logic levels, providing a total of 4294 967 296 unique possible combinations. Using a readout circuit, originally developed for resistive sensors to avoid crosstalk between elements, a memory card reader is manufactured that is able to read the values of the memory card and transfer the data to a PC. Such printed memory cards can be used in various applications.
We report a facile in situ synthesis of spherical copper nanoparticles (NPs) templated by a gelled cellulose II matrix under alkaline aqueous reaction conditions. In under 20 min, the hybrid material could be obtained in a one-pot reaction. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed that the polycrystalline NPs of 200–500 nm were well distributed in the regenerated cellulose matrix. The average Cu crystallite size was of the order of 20 nm, as estimated from both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FE-SEM. XRD data also indicated that the composite contained up to approximately 20% Cu2O. In suspensions containing the hybrid material, growth of Escerichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains was inhibited by 80% and 95%, respectively, after 72 h. The synthesis procedure offers a general approach to designing various low-cost hybrid materials of almost any shape, and the concept could be extended to utilization areas such as catalysis, functional textiles, and food packaging as well as to electronic applications.
In this study, Cu and Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through chemical reduction of soluble copper-chelating ligand complexes using formaldehyde as a reducing agent. The influence of various chelating ligands, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and a surface-active derivative of DTPA (C12-DTPA), as well as surfactants (i.e., hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DoTAC), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide (DDAO)), on morphology and the composition of produced NPs was investigated. In the absence of surfactants, spherical copper particles with polycrystalline structure could be obtained. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that, in the presence of EDTA, the synthesized NPs are mainly composed of Cu with a crystallite size on the order of 35 nm, while with DTPA and C12-DTPA, Cu2O is also present in the NPs as a minority phase. The addition of ionic surfactants to the copper–EDTA complex solution before reduction resulted in smaller spherical particles, mainly composed of Cu. However, when DDAO was added, pure Cu2O nano-octahedrons were formed, as verified by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and XRD. Furthermore, a hybrid material could be successfully prepared by mixing the octahedral Cu2O NPs with cellulose dissolved in a LiOH/urea solvent system, followed by spin-coating on silica wafers. It is expected that this simple and scalable route to prepare hybrid materials could be applied to a variety of possible applications.
Chelating agents, molecules that very strongly coordinates certain metal ions, are used industrially as well as in consumer products to minimize disturbances and increase performance of reactions and applications. The widely used sequestering agents, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) belong to this branch of readily water-soluble compounds. When these chemical structures also have hydrophobic parts, they are prone to adsorb at air-water interfaces and to self-assemble. Such bifunctional molecules can be called chelating surfactants and will have more extended utilization prospects than common chelating agents or ordinary ionic surfactants. The present review attempts to highlight the fundamental behavior of chelating surfactants in solution and at interfaces, and their very specific interactions with metal ions. Methods to recover chelating surfactants from metal chelates are also described. Moreover, utilization of chelating surfactants in applications for metal removal in environmental engineering and mineral processing, as well as for metal control in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics, is exemplified and discussed.
Surface states and interface recombination velocity that exist between detector interfaces have always been known to affect the performance of a detector. This article describes how the detector performance varies when the doping profile is altered. When irradiated with electrons, the results show that while changes in the doping profile have an effect of the detector responsivity with respect to the interface recombination velocity
Vs, there is no visible effect with respect tofixed oxide charge
Qfotherwise known as interface fixed charge density.
In the present work we conduct a study of ber lters produced by evaporation of silica particles upon aMM-ber core. A band lter was designed and theoretically veried using a 2D Comsol simulation model ofa 3D problem, and calculated in the frequency domain in respect to refractive index. The ber lters werefabricated by stripping and chemically etching the middle part of an MM-ber until the core was exposed. Amono layer of silica nano particles were evaporated on the core using an Evaporation Induced Self-Assembly(EISA) method. The experimental results indicated a broader bandwidth than indicated by the simulationswhich can be explained by the mismatch in the particle size distributions, uneven particle packing and nallyby eects from multiple mode angles. Thus, there are several closely connected Bragg wavelengths that buildup the broader bandwidth. The experimental part shows that it is possible by narrowing the particle sizedistributing and better control of the particle packing, the lter eectiveness can be greatly improved.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is becoming one of the most discussed modern technologies. Significant achievements of the AM in metals today are mainly connected to the unprecedented freedom of component shapes this technology allows. But full potential of these methods lies in the development of new materials designed to be used specifically with AM. Proper understanding of the AM process will open up new possibilities, where material and component properties can be specifically tailored by controlling the parameters throughout the whole manufacturing process. Present paper discusses the issues related to the beam melting technologies AM and electron beam welding (EBW). We are speaking of new direction in material science that can be termed "non-stationary metallurgy", using the examples from material and process development for EBW, electron beam melting (EBM®) and other additive manufacturing methods.
Softwood fibers pretreated with a monocomponent endoglucanase wereused to prepare a series of cellulose nanofiber qualities using amicrofluidizer and 2 to 34 MWh ton-1 of energy input. The specific surfacearea was determined for the series using critical point drying and gasadsorption. Although the specific surface area reached a maximum of 430m2 g-1 at 11 MWh ton-1, the nanofiber yield and transmittance continued toincrease beyond this point, indicating that more energy is required toovercome possible friction caused by an interwoven nanofiber networkunrelated to the specific surface area. A new method for estimating thesurface area was investigated using xyloglucan adsorption in pure water.With this method it was possible to follow the disintegration past the pointof maximum specific surface area. The technical significance of thesefindings is discussed.
Nanocellulose is a recently developed form of cellulose that has the potential to be used in many different industries, ranging from food to high-performance applications. This material is commercially manufactured through the homogenization of chemical pulps, but the process is energy-consuming and is still an important subject for development. Simple, robust methods are required for the quality control and optimization of industrial nanocellulose production. In this study, a number of different methods, based on different principles of monitoring the manufacture of cellulose nanofibers were evaluated and compared for five different nanocellulose qualities, both for their resolution and robustness/ease. Methods based on microscopy, light scattering, centrifugation, and viscosity were examined and all appeared useful for observing the manufacturing process during its initial stage. However, only methods based on centrifugation, turbidity, and transmittance yielded reliable data for the entire manufacturing process. Of these methods, transmittance measurement may be the best candidate for routine use because the method is simple, rapid, and only requires spectrophotometer equipment.
To increase the energy storage density of lithium-ion batteries, silicon anodes have been explored due to their high capacity. One of the main challenges for silicon anodes are large volume variations during the lithiation processes. Recently, several high-performance schemes have been demonstrated with increased life cycles utilizing nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films. However, a method that allows the large-scale production of silicon anodes remains to be demonstrated. Herein, we address this question by suggesting new scalable nanomaterial-based anodes. Si nanoparticles were grown on nanographite flakes by aerogel fabrication route from Si powder and nanographite mixture using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This silicon-nanographite aerogel electrode has stable specific capacity even at high current rates and exhibit good cyclic stability. The specific capacity is 455 mAh g−1 for 200th cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 97% at a current density 100 mA g−1.
This study is focused on the use of radio frequency magnetron sputtering to modify the surface of porous Ti6Al4V alloy fabricated via additive manufacturing technology. The hydroxyapatite (HA) coated porous Ti6Al4V alloy was studied in respect with its chemical and phase composition, surface morphology, water contact angle and hysteresis, and surface free energy. Thin nanocrystalline HA film was deposited while its structure with diamond-shaped cells remained unchanged. Hysteresis and water contact angle measurements revealed an effect of the deposited HA films, namely an increased water contact angle and contact angle hysteresis. The increase of the contact angle of the coating-substrate system compared to the uncoated substrate was attributed to the multiscale structure of the resulted surfaces.
Antibacterial agents based on nanoparticles (NPs) have many important applications, e.g., for the textile industry, surface disinfection, wound dressing, water treatment, and food preservation. Because of their prevalent use it is important to understand whether bacteria could develop resistance to such antibacterial NPs similarly to the resistance that bacteria are known to develop to antibiotics. Here, it is reported that Escherichia coli(E. coli) develops adaptive resistance to antibacterial ZnO NPs after several days' exposure to the NPs. But, in contrast to antibiotics‐resistance, the observed resistance to ZnO NPs is not stable—after several days without exposure to the NPs, the bacteria regain their sensitivity to the NPs' antibacterial properties. Based on the analyses it is suggested that the observed resistance is caused by changes in the shape of the bacteria and the expressions of membrane proteins. The findings provide insights into the response of bacteria to antibacterial NPs, which is important to elucidate for designing and evaluating the risk of applications based on antibacterial NPs.
This work reveals the structural variations ofcellulose nanofibers (CNF) prepared from different cellulosesources, including softwood (Picea abies), hardwood (Euca-lyptus grandis × E. urophylla), and tunicate (Ciona intestinalis),using different preparation processes and their correlations tothe formation and performance of the films prepared from theCNF. Here, the CNF are prepared from wood chemical pulpsand tunicate isolated cellulose by an identical homogenizationtreatment subsequent to either an enzymatic hydrolysis or a2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxi-dation. They show a large structural diversity in terms ofchemical, morphological, and crystalline structure. Amongothers, the tunicate CNF consist of purer cellulose and have a degree of polymerization higher than that of wood CNF.Introduction of surface charges via the TEMPO-mediated oxidation is found to have significant impacts on the structure,morphology, optical, mechanical, thermal, and hydrophobic properties of the prepared films. For example, the film density isclosely related to the charge density of the used CNF, and the tensile stress of the films is correlated to the crystallinity index ofthe CNF. In turn, the CNF structure is determined by the cellulose sources and the preparation processes. This study providesuseful information and knowledge for understanding the importance of the raw material for the quality of CNF for various typesof applications.
A novel energy-efficient method called nanopulping (patent pending) to produce nanocellulose from chemical pulp, and anovel cross-flow ultra-filtration method to separate nanofibrils fractions of different size were applied in this study. Pretreatment with en-doglucanase or 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation seems to enhance the nanopulping process. Results were evalu-ated with atomic force microscope and ultrafiltration. The nanopulping produced a relatively inhomogeneous material with larger parti-cles/fibers in addition to nanofibers. However, by ultrafiltration of the material it was possible to obtain more homogeneous material indifferent dimensions with methods industrially acceptable.
I denna avhandling har ett antal kommersiellt tillgängliga papper av olika typ karaktäriserats och deras egenskaper relaterats till prestandan på inkjet-tryckta elektriska ledare tryckta med silvernanopartikelbläck. De undersökta prestandavariablerna är elektrisk ledningsförmåga samt ledarnas minimala linjebredd och kantjämnhet. Det visas att en snabb absorption av bläckets lösningsmedel är gynnsam för både väldefinierad ledningsgeometri och elektrisk ledningsförmåga. Ytråhet med topografiska variationer med tillräckligt stor amplitud och spatiell frekvens korrelerar negativt med tryckdefinition och ledningsförmåga. Porositet är ytterligare en viktig faktor, där karaktäristisk porstorlek är avsevärt viktigare än total porvolym. Nära ideala egenskaper hos en porös bestrykning synes vara en mycket hög total porvolym men med små individuella porer, med fördel mindre än de minsta metallpartiklarna i bläcket. Ytenergi är mycket betydelsefull för icke-absorberande substrat men tappar nästan all sin betydelse för bestrykningar med snabb absorption.Ett koncept för att förbättra den geometriska definitionen på inkjet-tryckta ledare på icke-porösa flexibla filmer har visats. Genom att bestryka filmerna med vissa polymerbaserade material och därmed införa en mekanism för separering av lösningsmedel och partiklar så reducerades ledarnas minimibredd med en faktor 2 eller mer.Intimt förknippad med den slutliga elektriska prestandan på tryckta ledare är också en väl anpassad sintringsmetodik. En jämförande utvärdering av ett flertal selektiva sintringmetoder har genomförts på papper med olika värmetålighet. Pulsat vitt ljus med hög effekt bedömdes som en bra kompromiss mellan elektriska prestanda, tillförlitlighet och anpassningsbarhet för produktionsmiljö.Nyttan med arbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling är att öka kunskapsbasen för hur pappers och flexibla filmers ytegenskaper påverkar prestandan på inkjet-tryckta nanopartikelstrukturer. Detta möjliggör bättre urval, anpassning av, eller tillverkning av sådana substrat för att passa tryckta mönster med hög konduktivitet; som till exempel tryckta antenner på förpackningar.
A new manufacturing paradigm may lower the cost and environmental impact of existing products, as well as enable completely new products. Large scale, roll-to-roll manufacturing of flexible electronics and other functionality has great potential. However, a commercial breakthrough depends on a lower consumption of materials and energy compared with competing alternatives, and that sufficiently high performance and reliability of the products can be maintained. The substrate constitutes a large part of the product, and therefore its cost and environmental sustainability are important. Electrically conducting thin films are required in many functional devices and applications. In demanding applications, metal films offer the highest conductivity.
In this thesis, paper substrates of various type and construction were characterized, and the characteristics were related to the performance of inkjet-printed metal patterns. Fast absorption of the ink carrier was beneficial for well-defined pattern geometry, as well as high conductivity. Surface roughness with topography variations of sufficiently large amplitude and frequency, was detrimental to the pattern definition and conductivity. Porosity was another important factor, where the characteristic pore size was much more important than the total pore volume. Apparent surface energy was important for non-absorbing substrates, but of limited importance for coatings with a high absorption rate. Applying thin polymer–based coatings on flexible non-porous films to provide a mechanism for ink solvent removal, improved the pattern definition significantly. Inkjet-printing of a ZnO-dispersion on uncoated paper provided a thin spot-coating, allowing conductivity of silver nanoparticle films. Conductive nanoparticle films could not form directly on the uncoated paper.
The resulting performance of printed metal patterns was highly dependent on a well adapted sintering methodology. Several sintering methods were examined in this thesis, including conventional oven sintering, electrical sintering, microwave sintering, chemical sintering and intense pulsed light sintering. Specially designed coated papers with modified chemical and physical properties, were utilized for chemical low-temperature sintering of silver nanoparticle inks. For intense pulsed light sintering and material conversion of patterns, custom equipment was designed and built. Using the equipment, inkjet-printed copper oxide patterns were processed into highly conducting copper patterns. Custom-designed papers with mesoporous coatings and porous precoatings improved the reliablility and performance of the reduction and sintering process.
The thesis aims to clarify how ink-substrate interactions and sintering methodology affect the performance and reliability of inkjet-printed nanoparticle patterns on flexible substrates. This improves the selection, adaptation, design and manufacturing of suitable substrates for inkjet-printed high conductivity patterns, such as circuit boards or RFID antennas.
In this work, electrical conductivity and print pattern definition isstudied for silver nanoparticle ink, printed on ten commerciallyavailable paper substrates. Interrelations and correlations betweenelectrical conductivity, print pattern definition and a set ofmeasured paper properties are analyzed with a multivariatestatistical method. The papers are characterized in terms ofabsorption rate, porosity, apparent surface energy, surfaceroughness and surface material content. The statistical analysisshows that electrical conductivity and print pattern definition arecorrelated. Conductivity and print definition are correlatedpositively with absorption rate and negatively with surfaceroughness. A model based on projection to latent structures (PLS) isbuilt from the measurement data, showing adequate values of modelfit and predictive ability. This suggests that the chosen propertiesand methods for surface characterization are relevant in estimatingoverall performance of inkjet-printed conductors on paper.Additionally, a qualitative examination of the nanoparticle layercharacteristic is conducted with SEM cross section microscopy.Some of the properties and mechanisms of importance to theconductivity of the printed conductors are highlighted, of whichsome are crucial for achieving conductivity. Physical characteristicsof a suitable paper surface should ideally include large absorptioncapability for the ink carrier, but most importantly, a characteristicpore size and surface roughness amplitude that are both smallcompared to the dry ink layer thickness. If these criteria are met,paper media can be a low cost, comparably high performancealternative for metal nanoparticle inks in printed electronics applications.
Inkjet-printed metal films are important within the emerging field of printed electronics. For large-scale manufacturing, low-cost flexible substrates and low temperature sintering is desired. Tailored coated substrates are interesting for roll-to-roll fabrication of printed electronics, since a suitable tailoring of the ink-substrate system may reduce, or remove, the need for explicit sintering. Here we utilize specially designed coated papers, containing chloride as an active sintering agent. The built-in sintering agent greatly assists low-temperature sintering of inkjet-printed AgNP films. Further, we examine the effect of variations in coating pore size and precoating type. Interestingly, we find that the sintering is substantially affected by these parameters.
Low-cost solution-processing of highly conductive films is important for the expanding market of printed electronics. For roll-to-roll manufacturing, suitable flexible substrates and compatible postprocessing are essential. Here, custom-developed coated papers are demonstrated to facilitate the inkjet fabrication of high performance copper patterns. The patterns are fabricated in ambient conditions using water-based CuO dispersion and intense pulsed light (IPL) processing. Papers using a porous CaCO3 precoating, combined with an acidic mesoporous absorption coating, improve the effectiveness and reliability of the IPL process. The processing is realizable within 5 ms, using a single pulse of light. A resistivity of 3.1 ± 0.12 μΩ·cm is achieved with 400 μm wide conductors, corresponding to more than 50% of the conductivity of bulk copper. This is higher than previously reported results for IPL-processed copper.
The widespread usage of paper and board offer largely unexploited possibilities for printed electronics applications. Reliability and performance of printed devices on comparatively rough and inhomogenous surfaces of paper does however pose challenges.Silver nanoparticle ink has been deposited on ten various paper substrates by inkjet printing. The papers are commercially available, and selected over a range of different types and construction. A smooth nonporous polyimide film was included as a nonporous reference substrate. The substrates have been characterized in terms of porosity, absorption rate, apparent surface energy, surface roughness and material content. The electrical conductivity of the resulting printed films have been measured after drying at 60°C and again after additional sintering at 110°C. A qualitative analysis of the conductivity differences on the different substrates based on surface characterization and SEM examination is presented. Measurable parameters of importance to the final conductivity are pointed out, some of which are crucial to achieve conductivity. When certain criteria of the surfaces are met, paper media can be used as low cost, but comparably high performance substrates for metal nanoparticle inks in printed electronics applications.

(Reuters) - A Minnesota judge on Tuesday ordered a man accused of critically injuring a 5-year-old boy by throwing him off a balcony at the Mall of America held in lieu of a $2 million bond until a hearing next month, prosecutors said.
In his first court appearance since Friday's incident, when he allegedly dropped the boy nearly 40 feet (12 meters), Emmanuel Aranda was charged with attempted premeditated first-degree murder, Hennepin County Attorney's office spokesman Chuck Laszewski said.
Prosecutors had asked for bail to be set at $2 million, but Hennepin Country District Court Judge Jeannice Reding reserved her decision on the request, ordering Aranda held in lieu of $2 million bond until a May 14 hearing, Laszewski said.
Aranda, 24, who lives in Minneapolis, did not enter a plea, Laszewski added. It was not immediately clear if Aranda had a lawyer.
Asked by the judge if he had any questions, Aranda standing behind a glass partition in the courtroom replied: "Not at all."
Police have not identified the boy, but said he suffered life-threatening injuries from the fall at the Bloomington mall, a major tourist attraction in the state. On Tuesday they said his condition remained critical.
A posting late Monday on a GoFundMe page set to help pay for his medical expenses gave the boy's first name as Landen.
"His condition has very little change at this point, but we are hoping to get some good news back from some upcoming tests in the next few days," wrote Noah Hanneman, a family friend who launched the GoFundMe drive.
By Tuesday afternoon, the campaign had raised $711,000, well over its $500,000 goal, since it was launched on Saturday.
Police said Aranda had a history of mental issues and arrests on relatively minor charges. He told investigators he had been visiting the mall for years to try talk to women, but their rejection "caused him to lash out and be aggressive," prosecutors said in a complaint.
Aranda said he had initially intended to kill an adult the day before the incident, according to the complaint filed with the court on Monday.
He did not follow through but returned to the mall Friday still intending to kill an adult. He chose the boy instead, and admitted throwing him from the building's third tier, the complaint said.

Bhutan to play Oman in final
Andrew Nixon
Oman had the easier semi final against Iran, especially after they bowled them out for just 57, with Nikhil Xavier taking 3/12 and Suneet Fernandes taking 4/13. The target was no problem for Oman and they reached it in their eighth over for the loss of just one wicket.
It appeared Thailand would have a similarly simple run chase after bowling Bhutan out for 120. But the match proved to be much closer as captain Jigme Singye ripped through the Thai batting order with 5 wickets for 11 runs with his leg-spin. The last wicket pair came together with the score at 87/9 and 34 runs needed for victory. They threatened to pull off the victory for a while, but were dismissed for 104, Bhutan winning by 16 runs.
Iran and Thailand now have the consolation of tomorrows third place play-off whilst Oman and Bhutan will meet in Saturday's final.

Whether you're reunited with someone you haven't seen in a while or showcasing how happy you are to see them, giving someone you care about a hug is a sure sign of affection. From a passionate embrace to quick pats on the back, there are several ways to hug. When you want your hug to be personal and romantic, take your hug from friendly to intimate. Give your mate something to look forward to as you greet with a strong, close touch.
Outstretch your arms wide as you approach her. Greet her with a warm smile and wrap your arms around her waist. Pull her in closely and squeeze. Pull your bodies in close to each other where your chests, hips and legs touch each other.
Hold your embrace for a long time while squeezing. Let your cheek touch his possibly even brushing your lips against his ear, cheek or neck. Release your hold slightly then immediately pull in tighter for a closer hold. Press your chest against his.
Release your embrace and switch your position to hug immediately again. Stand back and look at each other then reverse your hold. Move your arms around her neck and allow her to wrap her arms around you back moving in close again. Squeeze in close resting your heads on each other's while holding your embrace.

Sadiq Kahn, the Mayor of London, has announced that the city is for the first time recruiting for a chief digital officer, as part of a bid to become the world's leading smart city.
The new position was announced in a tweet today by Khan, who linked to the official advert for the £106,952 a year job.
"The Mayor has decided to appoint London's first Chief Digital Officer to help him make London the world's leading smart city," the advert says. "As London's CDO, working in the Mayor's Office, you will convene GLA officials, the Smart London Board, local authorities and the technology sectors to encourage collaboration and adoption of common standards around data and service transformation, to drive the development of smart city technology, and to build London's reputation as the city that the world looks to for leadership in urban innovation."
The decision has been met with approval from many of the city's digital-focused companies, with the announcement being seen as a positive step in recognising the need for further technological advancements.
"The Mayor is right to highlight that transforming the capital into a 'smart city' is a critical need in the coming years," said Dale Lovell, chief digital officer and UK managing director of ADYOULIKE, an advertising technology company.
"London's incoming CDO will be tasked with radically transforming how the city does business and the role will be focused on helping to pioneer new technology sectors, encouraging collaboration and adopting common standards around data and service transformation."
The role is a relatively new concept for cities, with New York among one of the few world cities to have the official position, which is currently held by Sree Sreenivasan. Even among companies the role remains a fairly recent development.
"Ten years ago the job of chief digital officer simply didn't exist. Even as late as 2013, there were only 500 CDOs across the globe. The 'digital' aspect of organisations was also something that was split across multiple people," explained Lovell.
"However, with the world increasingly adopting a 'connected' lifestyle, with little downtime from their digital devices, the role is now essential, not only for companies but also for government and regional authorities."
However, with Brexit fast approaching and London likely to need to reposition itself on the global market, the role is likely to prove to be immensely challenging for the person appointed.
"The single most important factor for the success of this role will be the CDO's ability to be flexible. With the uncertainty of Brexit far from over and an environment of ever changing technology, London's CDO must be able to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances while putting London's best interests first," said Lovell.
"The next ten years will see a rapid digitalisation and automation of many key services; with public expectation around the services they receive increasingly built around digital infrastructure. It's a big challenge to change London, but one that needs to happen now."

By Dries Bultynck • Issue #13 • View online Added two more sections (E-mail and Data & Analytics) to the newsletter, which will be recurring in the future newsletters. This week was, like any other week actually, very interesting. Especially in visual content land! What gets 'views'? I'm stunned by the amount of views some videos on the internet get. Weird stuff. Stuff you wouldn't expect to get that many views. Below you can find some examples i manually picked/selected. 1) An 8 hour of 'shitty' trance mixed by a dude in jeans with books on the ground and he never needs to beat mix, not even one secondNo mixing involved. Nothing spectacular to see but few books on the ground and even a vinyl on the right that never gets played during those 8 years. But… the title says it all. 8 hours of music as a background tune for you to use while studying. Don't underestimate the amount of people listening to YT videos. It's the same thing like 15 - 20Y ago we all put on MTV on the telly and used it as a radio. Same thing. 2) Originality always wins Mario's underworld popped upon the radar this week. Published on the 27th of october 2016 and only two days later picked up by Loaded Magazine the YT video already counts 2.3 Mio views. 3) Holistic challenges Whatever people say, there is always a part of them thinking about the holistic picture if it comes to life, well-being and every closely related subject. No matter what. On a macro, meso or micro level, depending on your own situation and current state of comfort/well-being. Before the flood launched on YT on the 30th of October and has now over 10 mio views. Thursday if had 7.5 mio views. 4) Recommendation gets views (and followers as well)Not related to videos but related to attention and the amount of impact a person can have is sometimes insane. Last week Joy tweeted this. 1 hour later, Bert his Insta account counted over 2600 followers already and had only one photo online! Now, a few days later, almost 7K followers later, he has 3 pictures online with 2K likes, 1.1k likes and 1.5k likes. Insane! The missing context here? Well, Joy tweeted and talk about Bram on her Snapchat account (and more handles/accounts) a week or two before this meet-up. So the build-up to this event was well executed. Not sure if it was intentionally, but I don't think so. If well, well played! And then there is always Shia … Check out this 360° well-synced video of his "Just do it" rant. There are some other videos from Shia in 360° out there too. You'll find them. E-mail marketing Earlier this year, I had the honour to work with one of the biggest travel compagnies in Belgium. Together with the team, we figured out how to impact e-mail on a broad and structural level. E-mail marketing is still a very powerful medium in many markets. People tend to say e-mail marketing is dead, but when you have people's attention, it all comes down to communication & interpretation of the data.So… allow me to share snippets that could help you take that next step in e-mail marketing. 1) Don't underestimate the power of resending a campaignOf all the compagnies I've been working with, there are only a few that do this. Resending an e-mail to non-openers is a good thing to do. Changing the subject line could help, although Mailchimp advises you not to. I'm not sure what to do. I've seen both working really well, even in my own list with openingrates up to 56% of people I only e-mail once a year.

It really is. How would you feel if you get a list of products in some simple css made template arrived in the letterbox? You'd feel "ok". How about if that same e-mail got a really beautiful design make-over? You'd be somewhat excited? Right? It's part of the reason WHY people open an e-mail as well. If it looks really good, it's fun to get it, even if you don't take any action. Although at first, the data couldn't prove the malaise of the old design, when the new design was send out a few weeks, you'd could see the difference in opening rates.

Yesterday, my friends over at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) released a new report on Tech Policy 2016: What Presidential Candidates Should Be Talking About. The report is written as a memo for a draft speech (a device I've use as well – see companion posting) and lays out a number of specific policy proposals. Not surprising the proposals focus on economic growth, productivity, innovation and the role of information technology. A summary of the proposals is provided at the beginning of the report:
1. Foster innovation.
• Increase federal funding for science and engineering research by $30 billion a year.
• Expand the R&D tax credit so it is more competitive with other countries, and tax income from innovation at a lower rate.
• Establish a National Innovation Foundation akin to the National Science Foundation (NSF).
• Increase federal support for STEM education while rewarding universities for graduating more STEM students.
• Create a national system of "manufacturing universities."
• Expand H-1B visas, green cards, and citizenship for foreign-born scientists and engineers.
• Charge every federal agency with crafting and implementing an innovation strategy.
• Pass the Startup Act to promote entrepreneurship.
• Create a White House Office of Innovation Review.
• Ensure laws and regulations enable disruption rather than protect the status quo.
• Create an interagency taskforce to combat corporate short-termism.
• Revise the 1996 Telecommunications Act to enable broadband innovation.
• Establish a "flexicurity"system to help workers acquire skills for new jobs.
2. Boost productivity.
• Bring back the investment tax credit for new machinery and equipment and worker training.
• Accelerate IT adoption throughout the public and private sectors.
• Raise the minimum wage to $10, and index it to per-capita GDP growth.
• Close the digital divide by helping people pay for computers and broadband.
• Expand funding for surface transportation by at least $30 billion per year.
3. Compete globally.
• Lower the corporate tax rate to no more than 25 percent, and adopt a territorial system.
• Strengthen the innovative capacity of U.S. firms that do business internationally, in part by expanding financing for scaling innovations.
• Put trade enforcement at the center of U.S. foreign policy, and increase resources for it.
• Confront China by raising the cost of unfairly distorting trade investments.
• Create a National Industrial Intelligence Council to assess competitive challenges.
• Restructure the World Trade Organization (WTO) to be more effective in fighting mercantilism.
• Fight currency manipulation
Many of these I agree strongly with and have advocated for a number of years. For example, I strong support an investment tax credit for worker training (especially on-the-job training for incumbent workers). Some I don't think go far enough. For example I would like to see funding for design ("d-schools") in addition to "manufacturing universities." On some, such as revising the 1996 Telecommunications Act, I have no opinion.
Some of the proposals I am skeptical of, such as a White House Office of Innovation Review with the power to review regulations. A number of years ago I worked on legislation to require Competitiveness Impact Statements as part of regulations. This became law as part of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Section 5421). Back then we were very concerned that this would quickly become just a means of cutting regulations. For that reason, the provision was limited to legislative proposals, conferred no right of private action and sunsetted after 6 years. I have the same worry about this new proposed office, which seems based on a bias that regulation only "hinder innovation" (to use the ITIF report's wording). As I have noted before, regulation can have a positive and well as negative effect on innovation.
I also think that the list leaves out important policy recommendations, such as using intangible assets to finance innovation. For this reason I am posting a companion piece laying out my version of the speech (based on previous postings).
Having said that, I believe the ITIF is a good list for the next President (and the next Congress) to consider. Enactment of even part of this agenda would push us in the right direction.
PS: as a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan I cannot support or endorse the proposed second sentence of the opening of the proposed ITIF speech.

London upstarts Miscalculations, featuring members of The Gaggers, Disco Lepers and Dying Shames, offer up another apocalyptic snarling ripper for the ages. 'Kill The Whole Cast' offers up twelve new tracks of frenetic, tense, and snotty sounding punk tunes that are just so incredibly well written. Marco and Shaun continue to amaze me with their ability to craft songs reminiscent of both classic bands like Wire, Gang Of Four, The Wipers and Screamers along with contemporary greats like Masshysteri, Tristess and The Vicious. It's impossible not to be reminded of a certain time when this style of music thrived - say 1977- '80; and Miscalculations take those influences and pens some crafty songs that sound fresh, modern and uniquely their own. Highly recommended. THIS IS THE LIMITED VERSION ON CLEAR VINYL WITH BLACK SPLATTERS! Import from Germany.

French election: Macron 'most convincing' in final debate
French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron was more impressive than rival Marine Le Pen in Wednesday evening's final TV debate, a viewers' poll says.
The candidates traded insults for more than two hours, arguing over terrorism, the economy, and Europe, BBC reports.
The French broadcaster BFMTV found voters had a more favourable view of Mr Macron than Ms Le Pen in most categories.
He was the "most convincing" of the pair in the opinion of 63% of viewers.
Ms Le Pen lambasted her rival for his finance and government background, accusing him of being "the candidate of savage globalisation" and said his version of France "is a trading room, where it will be everyone fighting for themselves".
In turn, Mr Macron said the National Front leader openly lied, proposed nothing, and exaggerated the concerns of the public.
"The high priestess of fear is sitting before me," he said.
Both candidates were hoping to make an impression on the estimated 18% of undecided voters in the first election the country has ever held without a candidate from the two traditional mainstream parties.
The second round run-off between the pair takes place on Sunday.
This turned into a tense, at times incendiary exchange between two leaders with starkly opposing ideas about the road France needs to take.
Marine Le Pen, who lags badly in the opinion polls, had clearly decided that the best tactic was to launch a full-frontal attack on Emmanuel Macron.
Constantly throughout the debate she threw insults and allegations at him, accusing him of being part of the discredited existing order.
But there was little substance to her attacks, and over and again Emmanuel Macron was able to expose the weaknesses in her arguments - especially over the economy and the euro.
The debate will have done nothing to alter his position as clear favourite in Sunday's vote.

Cure for Catastrophe #477
June 08, 2018
Tsunamis. Earthquakes. Volcanoes. These are the sorts of natural disasters movies are made from, because throughout history we've learned that natural disasters often become human disasters. But how much are we contributing to the scale of the human toll of natural disasters when they hit? How much do our decisions about where to build, what to build, and how to build impact that cost? We spend the hour with Robert Muir-Wood, author of "The Cure for Catastrophe: How We Can Stop Manufacturing Natural Disaster", talking about what he's learned over his 25 years working to understand the risks associated with natural disasters.

Spring is a time to shine! It's a time to get outside more, to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, and to make sure your smile is bright and white!
Tooth whitening can give you that attractive, confident smile that you've always wanted. How does tooth whitening work and how long will it take to be able to enjoy a bright new smile?
Tooth stains and discoloration can occur when you drink a lot of dark liquids, like coffee or tea. Smokers will also find that their teeth become stained and yellow over time. Of course, not taking good care of your teeth or not visiting a dentist for a regular cleaning can also contribute to discolored teeth.
Tooth whitening can take care of those stains and discoloration, but it will be important to maintain good dental hygiene after the whitening process is complete, to keep that smile bright and white. Whitening is a safe procedure for most patients that can be done in a dentist's office or at home. At Johns Dentistry, we offer two methods of whitening: in-office whitening and tray whitening.
Our in-office procedure takes place in less than two hours! We first apply a protective gel to your gums to protect the soft tissue there. We then apply activating gel to the teeth for whitening. Our technician stays in the room with you throughout the entire process. We then clean off the solution once optimum whitening of your teeth has been reached.
Your brilliant new smile will retain its newfound sheen for a long time with proper care. To help you maintain your white teeth with at-home touch-ups, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom trays for you to take with you, along with instructions on how to keep that smile looking bright.
Tooth whitening can give you the confidence to smile brightly through all your spring activities and into the rest of the year. Contact us today to learn more about Tooth Whitening 101 for your brightest smile ever!

The prototype robotic implant, developed by the researchers at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital in the US, encourages tissue growth in babies. The robot is a small device which is attached to the oesophagus by two rings. An incorporated motor then stimulates the cells by gently pulling the tissue.

The secret to male birth control may lie in this poisonous herb extract
A plant extract, traditionally used by African warriors as a heart-stopping poison on their arrows, may be used to develop birth control pill for men, a study in mice suggests. Women have many options for oral contraceptives that are safe, effective and reversible, but despite decades of research, men have none. Two types of African plants make the poisonous compound called ouabain. Mammals also produce it in their bodies, though at lower levels that are thought to help control blood pressure; doctors sometimes prescribe small doses of the compound to…Read More
Would-be moms, beware: Smoking e-cigarettes during pregnancy could cause birth defects
Smoking e-cigarettes during pregnancy could cause facial defects in the babies, a study warns. The findings suggested that e-cigarettes pose health risks despite being widely considered a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Researchers exposed frog embryos and samples of mammalian neural crest cells to saline infused with e-cigarette vapour. Frogs, like other vertebrates, are similar to humans embryonically, said Amanda Dickinson, from the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in the US. "This means that if a chemical perturbs a frog embryo, it's likely to do the same thing to a human…Read More

Moms-to-be, if you have asthma, you are at risk of giving birth to underweight babies
Asthma is a chronic disease affecting some 235 million people around the world. According to a recent study, asthma increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery as the patients suffer more often from preeclampsia (PE) and run a higher risk of giving birth to underweight babies. These and other complications during pregnancy and delivery cannot be explained by hereditary or environmental factors, says study. Asthma is a common disease caused by chronic inflammation in the lungs with symptoms of coughing and breathlessness. Using data from the Swedish birth, prescribed drug and…Read More
Epilepsy drugs may increase birth defect risk
Exposure to certain anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) during pregnancy may put women at higher risk of having a child with a malformation, or birth defect, says a study. The study based on systematic review of 50 published studies found that exposure in the womb to the anti-epileptic drug sodium valproate was associated with a 10 per cent chance of the child having a significant birth defect and this rose as the dose of the drug increased. The types of birth defect that were increased were skeletal and limb defects, cardiac defects,…Read More
Babies Born With Low Birth Weight May Be Less Active Later in Life
Babies born with a low birth weight are less likely to be good at sports at school, or to engage in exercise later in life, according to a recent study. The findings showed that those with a low birth weight were less likely to take part in exercise and sports across adulthood, from 36 to 68 years. Although previous studies have shown that a low birth weight can affect sporting ability and exercise levels at a younger age, however, this is the first study that has revealed how low birth relates…Read More
Weight Gain During Pregnancy May Lead To Preterm Birth
Abnormalities in interval between pregnancies, mother's body mass index (BMI) prior to pregnancy and the amount of weight gain in pregnancy can lead to preterm birth, a new study has found. The study, published in the journal Maternal and Child Health Journal, showed that if these factors were modified, it could reduce the risk of premature births. "The highest risks for premature birth were in women who were underweight, had poor weight gain during pregnancy, or short periods of time between pregnancies. Excessive weight gain in obese women also increased…Read More

'Berlin property market shifts from renters to buyers' – Deutsche Welle
'Berlin property market shifts from renters to buyers'
"A new property market report shows that more and more people are buying apartments in the German capital, squeezing out low-income renters. Investment groups are also making more large-scale "portfolio" purchases."
So begins an article on the German government owned Deutsche Welle website.
The report noted that there has been a rapid rise in the overall population – circa 40,000 new Berliners per year -along with a disproportionate number of 'single-person households'. All this has created a shortage of affordable housing in the city.
Berlin owner-occupied apartments
German owner-occupied apartments are taxed differently than those that are rented out. While owner-occupied apartments are regarded as a 'consumer good' rented apartments are taxed as a capital investment.
Therefore many Berliners see the relative advantage of buying their own flat and with the concomitant highly favorable trend in interest rates, owner-occupancy has in recent years become extremely popular. All indicators show that there is a very good chance that the proportion of owner-occupied homes will continue to increase in the next few years.
The problems described by DW are not unique to Germany or Berlin. The Irish radio station and website 'NewsTalk' mentions how Dublin's and Ireland's out-of-control rental market raises rental problems.
Over the last few years, German residential real-estate prices have soared, especially in the largest cities of Munich and Berlin. Some have seen this development as the start of a 'housing -bubble' similar to those in Spain and the UK, however the current German and Berlin property price increases are fundamentally justified. They are more the result of property prices making up lost ground, having largely stagnated or even fallen prior to 2008.
Deutsche Welle or DW is Germany's government owned international broadcaster available in 30 languages – via television, radio and the internet and often deals with issues in the Capital –or in German – the 'Bundeshauptstadt'. It wrote earlier this year about 'Berlin's rental market -a nightmare to many'.

Imagine getting a $1,000 towing bill for a car you did not own? A south Sound man discovered there's an easy way for anyone to put a car in your name, ditch it, and leave you holding the bag for towing and storage costs.
Kaleb Inwards had no idea he had bought a car. He only knew when the towing company wanted its money.
"It's a lot easier to prove you own something than that you don't own something," said Inwards.
Kaleb owes a $1,400 towing bill all because of the Washington State Sellers Report of Sale. According to Brad Benfield from the Department of Licensing, it's a form that sellers complete with the buyers information.
"That protects them from anything that can happen like an impound or an accident that happens if that buyer doesn't transfer it into their name," explained Benfield.
In this case, a man named Loui Carvahlo listed Kaleb as the buyer of his 1991 Nissan. However, Kaleb never bought the car. But when it was found abandoned on the side of the road, the towing company came after Kaleb for the bill simply because his name was on the report.
"At that point I contacted the towing company to see if they could just sort it out but they said that they had followed the law which was to get the last sellers report of the car in question and that it had Kaleb's name listed as the buyer and so that's all that they had to do, there was nothing else they could do at that point," explained Inwards' mother, Robyn Jensen.
Benfield said the only way you can stop the charges is to go to court. The bottom line is anyone can put someone else's name on a sellers report. And no identification is needed to complete the sale. Jensen believes that's a law that must change.
"There should be some kind of verification. Instead of doing it online that it would have to be done in person and that the document would have to have the buyer's signature," said Jensen.
Kaleb took his case to court and won and we helped him get the collections removed from his credit. So Kaleb won't have to pay, but a gap in the law remains open for anyone to exploit.
The department of licensing says to put someone else's name other than the buyer on a car is fraud. State Rep. Mark Harmsworth from Mill Creek says he's in the process of drafting legislation to plug the holes with sellers reports. As for the guy who says he sold the car to Kaleb, he told us he's not sure who bought the car.

Now Reed Krakoff, the much-loved former Coach designer who recently started his eponymous label of riche and polished hits, is trying out the fashion reel too. But in typical Krakoff manner this is the guy who brought Coach back to relevancy with winners like the classic satchel he's going all in. The designer teamed with Patti Smith favorite Steven Sebring on this moody short above. Hitting YouTube and the label's site today, the video is a nice foray we expect more great things to come.

Majestic mountains, rough cliffs and upright granite slabs, all these made Australia a dream to climbers all over the world. Almost every state in the country has something to offer extreme climb enthusiasts. The diversity of the landscapes made adventure seekers enjoy challenging routes while novice to build their confidence and start on less daunting routes.
There are so many great activities in Australia, but rock climbing is indeed one of which that will not disappoint.
Rock Climbing Destinations In Australia
To help you get started with your journey, below are some of the rock climbing spots you should not miss when in Australia:
- Mt Arapiles (VA)
This leading climbing destination in Australia has more than 2000 climbs to offer experienced enthusiasts. The mountain is relatively small and tightly packed. It offers expansive views of the beautiful Mitre Lake and assortment of the interesting Victorian outback.
It is a mountain to climb all year round. There are plenty of sheltered courses, hence perfect to climb even in roasting summer temperatures. But you have to know that this is a mountaineering Mecca and can get really busy, it is discouraged you go here on Easter except if you are willing to wait on very long queues.
- Booroomba (ACT)
The abundance of enormous granite slabs around Canberra made the climb here extremely adventurous. There are so many routes in Booroomba, and they vary not only in length but difficulty too.
It offers views of the surge hills of ACT, and of course, Canberra itself. The scales positioned around the abundant fissures and slabs are most of the time bolted. The area may be scorching during the hotter summer season.
- Point Perpendicular (NSW)
Point Perpendicular is not only the finest but also one of the scariest and nerve-wracking cliffs to climb. Some of the climbs will require mountaineers an initial rappel to reach the cliff. You might even get close to soaking or completely soaked, trying some of the most recommended ascents.
Do not get discouraged or threatened as the price to get when you become successful is beyond picturesque. The pelagic views would definitely make you ask for more!
- Umbrawarra (North Territory)
This secluded creek offers about 30 different courses to attempt. This place may not be as big as other destinations, but time is extremely worthwhile here with meanders ascend attractive, red sandstone façade. It is infused with so many beautiful and breathtaking sceneries no enthusiasts must miss.
The climb is not only for experts but intermediate climbers as well.
There are more rock climbing opportunities in Australia. And to those who are into rock climbing, the country is indeed a haven and a dream come true.

Struggle is Kalafro's latest street video. The song is featured on the album Resistenza Sonora, published by Relief Records.
Kalafro is currently touring Italy by car; in fact a car confiscated from the Mafia. It was given to the group by the Museo Della Ndrangheta in Reggio Calabria, a cultural institution aimed at contrasting Mafia mentality and that operates thanks to the goods confiscated from the clans and other criminal associations. This collaboration is no coincidence, as Kalafro's opposition to the Mafia is a core aspect of their music.

Nandrolone Decanoate 200mg/ml vial Balkan Pharmaceuticals
- Manufacturer: Balkan Pharmaceuticals
- $72.00
- Active ingredient Nandrolone Decanoate
- Size 10ml
- Dosage 200 mg/ml
- Common Brands Nandrolone, Nandrolone Decanoate, Deca, Decaver, Deca-Durabolin, Pharmanan D, Decaject, Oltabolin, Decabol, Duradec, Nandrolona D, Decvel, Deca-Dexabol, Decanoate, Deca-Duralin, Deca-Med, Decaduro, Nandro D, Nandroject, Nandrolone-D, Nandrodec, Nandrobolin, N-Lone-D, DecaPrime, Nandro, Decadubol, Dancia, Rolon, DecaNan, Decanol, Dionate, Matidek, Euro-Deca, Decalan, Nandrodex, Dec, Decaland
Nandrolone Decanoate is preferred by most athletes because it has fewer side effects compared to other anabolic androgenic steroids. It also hardly converts into estrogens thus you can be sure you won't experience estrogen induced side effects like gynecomastia and swelling due to water and fluid accumulation. Furthermore, Nandrolone Decanoate has considerably low androgenic action therefore side effects like baldness, acne and undesirable hair growth on certain body parts are also absent.
Most professional athletes and amateurs take Nandrolone Decanoate because it facilitates muscle growth thus increasing muscle strength and endurance. People who take Nandrolone Decanoate also have increased appetite, improved amino acids, and general nutrient absorption. On average, you can gain up to 17 pounds each cycle of Nandrolone Decanoate. Therapeutically Nandrolone Decanoate can be used for boosting the immune system and strengthening bones and connective tissue.
The only con to taking Nandrolone Decanoate is that it decreases the concentration of Testosterone in the blood and also activates progesterone receptors which can reduce sexual interest. The good news is that this side effect can be easily defeated by coupling your cycle with Testosterone.
Post Cycle Therapy is a must in order to quicken the recovery period of the body.
A few side effects can be experienced in some individuals. These are headaches, elevated blood pressure levels, pain in the abdomen, lethargy, depression, and others. Even more, the severe side effects can be experienced in cases of an overdose.
