Construction Economy Forecasting
You probably have noticed that economic forecasts are about as reliable as weather forecasts. Maybe even less so. With that said, I thought you might appreciate hearing the thoughts of a couple of sources I have.
The other day, an email arrived in my Inbox from the Associated Builders and Contractors. ABC's chief economist Anirban Basu is predicting the construction economy's recovery may be two years away. Non-residential construction recovery (e.g. commercial) may be even further out. He listed healthcare as one of the segments that should be growing in the next twelve months. He listed hospitals, health centers, and clinics as specific building types that should see action.
The ABC commercial building forecast is a little more pessimistic than what my real estate resources are forecasting. The commercial real estate world follows a predictable cycle which is basically circular. Occupancy rates bottom out when lease rates bottom out. Then the lease rates start to recover followed by occupancy rates. That eventually leads to construction of new buildings for office and retail use.
The good news? Lease rates are starting to recover.
Keep an eye on the employment numbers. They are the leading indicator of a recovery in commercial construction (and also have a significant impact on residential construction and the remodeling industry).
There is a direct connection between employment levels and commercial real estate occupancy. The commercial construction industry has suffered more from high unemployment than it has from tightened lending.

Unfortunately the economy has been slow to improve. This trickle down effect has had an impact across numerous industries. Luckily, there are signs that hiring rates are increasing.

ADOVI project - A chance for adolescents to promote their health
The school-based adolescent health promotion in Vietnam project (ADO-VI) started last year in the joint effort of GaneshAID, Vietnam National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) and ASIE. The purpose of this project is to support adolescent health promotion at school in Vietnam. ADO-VI consists in three key components including an e-learning package targeting teachers and adolescents, advocacy and communication, and partnerships for sustainability and scaling up.
The project has a non-financial extension up to November 2017. Experts from GaneshAID and NIHE have been pushed up the process of completing e-learning modules on three topics: (1) Physical Activity, (2) Alcohol and Smoking, and (3) Nutrition. Fourteen modules covering the three topics in English are expected to complete at the end of June.
GaneshAID suported to develop a learning management system (LMS) which will locate the e-learning modules of the project. As commitment, This LMS will be handed over to NIHE for their further development of other e-learning course in future.
Adolescents form a large part of the population in Viet Nam. In 2014, the adolescent population aged 10–19 made up 15.3% (13.88 million) of the total population. In rural areas, there are several issues of great concern that affect high school adolescents as well as their parents, teachers, and local health bodies/staff, including sexuality, early pregnancy, nutrition issues, alcohol and tobacco use, and stress and depression.
In the perspective of promoting adolescent health, a French NGO — Action pour la Santé Internationale et l'Education (ASIE) (www.asie-sea.org) — the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) (www.nihe.org.vn), and GaneshAID — a non-profit consultancy company (www.ganeshaid.com) — joined efforts to support adolescent health (AH) promotion at the high school level. The three partners have designed a project that comprises three key components: an e-learning package targeting teachers and adolescents, advocacy and communication, and partnerships for sustainability and scaling up. This first phase of the project is funded by ASIE.

I talked about negative emotions as early warning signals.
But negative emotions have another function: they are placeholders, reminders of unfinished business.
We go through life, and sustain injuries to our bodies, our self-esteem, our pride.
All or us. And then we attempt to continue life, but the wounds are there, festering.
I watched Charlie Chaplin accepting his life achievement Oscar in 1972? 1
His feelings as he is standing there during the 10 minute standing ovation, belies the grief, anger, disappointment, feeling slighted, thrown out, devastated 20 years earlier, when the United States unceremoniously threw him out…
I can relate… lol.
It was a healing for him… he felt the same negative feelings, now released through the love of the audience… He could forgave and be forgiven.
Your festering wounds give a sign of life… and each time you have an opportunity to revisit and heal.
I have been sobbing a lot lately. The 67 steps stirred up a lot of old wounds, a lot of old pain. I sob for a minute or two, and then it's done. Sometimes it needs more attention, but not often.
I am altogether happier for all that crying. lol.
I see something I didn't think of, or didn't see at the time: you need to become someone who can do something with the opportunity. If you go to a gym and you have an opportunity to pick up a 400 lbs weight… you can't even move it.
An email that just landed in my inbox says: for advanced marketers only… And as much as I'd like to have the opportunity that is inside: I am barely a marketer, I am so not advanced… it is not for me. I am not ready, and I don't even think I want to be ready. Not in this lifetime. I am busy doing what I am doing, and it more than compensates for the too little money and the too little recognition…
You can have everything you want, just not at the same time. Some things you want are mutually exclusive…
Having wounds is a normal part of growing up, a normal part of living.
Our expectations are not fulfilled. Our hopes and aspirations squashed. Our plans crumble. Our relationships deteriorate. People deceive you…
Normal. Cannot be avoided. It is part of life.
But those wounds never healed. It is politically not correct to even grieve the death of a child, or news from a doctor that you are probably incurable.
Society wants you to go along to get along… and you do… at your own expense.
You need to allow yourself to grieve, lick your wounds, cry, scream to some god, if you have a chance.
It's said that mental health requires that you have alone time, where you can do the work you don't want to do in public.
Some of us are more private than others.
Doing the 67 steps publicly is difficult: you need to worry about looking good. That is why I give you an option to make it really private… just you and me.
The more freedom you feel to tell the truth the more cleansing the work is.
After all the 67 steps is 30% education and 70% unloading… that is why it is so liberating, so healthy, so good for you.
My level of happiness went from a 2 to an 8 (on the scale of 1-10) and I am sure you are grateful for that: the articles I write are happier too… 🙂

Welcome to Canterbury Class
Mr Roberts tries his best to teach us but Mrs Sparks, Mrs Wakley and Mrs Hellegren-Smith have to help him out and do most of the heavy lifting. We also have Mrs O'Neal and Mr Deam who teach us Tae Kwan Do and Violin respectively when Mr Roberts needs a break – from all that delegating – on a Tuesday afternoon.
The Year 5 curriculum is for the incredibly hard working and our expectations are exceptionally high, learning lots of new and fun things in a huge range of ways while recapping and holding onto everything we have learned in school so far. We have been working even harder (if possible) on working both together with our peers and independently solving problems as these skills underpin everything we hope to achieve in life!
Our day consists of plenty of learning. The morning is focused on our fluency in English and Maths skills, learning new skills and looking at new ways of applying everything we know. Our afternoons are full of Topic and Science work and broadening our minds with a whole range of subjects and ideas that change each half term.
How can you help at home?
- Reading with us for 30 minutes every day and talking about the thoughts and feeling of characters and events that we have just read about. If you want to challenge our thinking you can start to explore how and why the author made us feel a certain way. Although it's our responsibility please help us to record our reading in our Reading Journal and put a little initial so that Mr Roberts believes us.
- Helping us finish our homework will mean we have had valuable practice time of things we have learnt in school or preparation for our future topics.
- Let us play Doodle Maths and/or Doodle Times Tables as both are a fantastic way for us to really secure our fluency so we can spend more time exploring reasoning and problem solving in our lessons.
If you ever want to discuss anything at all please just pop in or call the office to ask when Mr Roberts is free. It is never a problem to discuss our learning or lives in general.

Need Help With Your Kids? Follow These Tips?
Parenting is quite the journey that is full of ups and downs. By reading this article, you can make it become one of the best journeys you will ever take. Go through these tips, and adapt them to your situation to develop the best parenting strategies possible.
When setting up your nursery, remember that you do not need to spend a ton of money to create a nice space. Changing tables, cribs, and other baby furniture can all be purchased for relatively low prices at department stores. Friends and family members who are no longer using their baby furnishings may allow you to use them.
Parents should not pressure their teens to attend a college that the student isn't interested in attending. If teenagers feel pressured they may do the complete opposite, feeling they are being controlled.
Even dedicated parents need some time for themselves. Even if you are only able to get away for a one or two hours, ask a trusted friend or family member to watch your kids for you. All parents need a chance to relax and recharge child-free. Your household will be calmer and you'll be a better parent if you take a break.
If your children walk to school, ensure they are wearing some sort of reflective material on their clothes or on their book bag. You can also purchase reflective fabric strips that you can attach with Velcro to other garments. The reflection from these strips is especially important in the early light of the morning because it makes the child much more visible.
Avoid smoking in your house if children live there, also. Actually, it would be best to stop smoking altogether. The dangers of inhaling secondhand smoke are the same as those of smoking. There are a variety of permanent breathing problems associated with children who breathe smoke during childhood.
If you plan to travel with preschoolers or toddlers, bring along familiar comforting items. A fun family vacation is still a disruption to your little one's every day routine. Bringing a favorite item can help children experience a degree of continuity and stability when they adjust to new environments.
Children have a natural need for independence. Give them household chores so they will feel the sense of independence that they need. If you are washing the dishes, ask your child to dry them for you. Another good way to help your children gain their independence is to have them sort socks while you fold the remaining laundry. Tasks like these help them feel independent and it helps you.
Get your child involved in sports or other activities outside of school. They encourage children to be social and make friends. These skills are desperately needed throughout life, and developing them when they are young is best. As well,keeping your child focused on a positive activity will help them stay out of trouble.
Hopefully, you have learned something from this article. If you apply the tips you've learned here, you will be able to build a better relationship with your children. You can be sure to cherish every moment you have with your child with the right advice.…

Hurricane lamp shades were originally meant to protect light flames from
being snuffed out in high winds in colonial America. They made a big comeback in
the 1950's in pairs of matching glass and crystal lamps which sit on either side of a dressing table.
These are
hence referred to as boudoir lamps. Hurricanes can also seen on chandeliers of the same era.
All hurricane shades have a 15/8" fitter

Food for thought:
Warning, this rant contains strong language, do not read it if you are offended by strong language
Putting the kybosh on tabacco is like cracking down on satan worship. It's easy to put the boot into something that is antisocial without an apology. Smoking stinks and it's bad for you and it'll likely kill you.
By government estimates, Australia pays out around $31 billion per year in healthcare and lost productivity due to smoking. It kills 16,000 Aussies each year and, more importantly, deludes vacuous teenagers into thinking they are "cool" when in point of fact they just look like vacuous teens trying to be "cool".
So where does the government stand on alcohol, equally deadly when misused. Even though it's a citizen's right to walk about down town on a saturday evening without getting bothered, accosted, assulted, run over or vomitted on by some fu.ckwit who gets a dose of "big man syndrome" by getting pis.sed. Because if smoking is the devil worship of legal substance ingestion then surely drinking drinking is the Christianity.
Don't get me wrong, I love a drink occasionally and I try my best to limit my intake so that my judgement isn't hindred as a result.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about this from a British perspective (Margaret), Canadian (Stephen) or American (Lars). Feel free to pipe in.

Can Yoga Help Depression in Kids?
The saddest statistic we've heard in a long time is this: children are the fastest growing market for antidepressants.
Even though a mounting body of evidence suggests alternative treatments to combat depression, including yoga and regular exercise, offer an effective way to prevent or even treat the condition, more and more young people are prescribed antidepressants each day.
This despite the fact that antidepressants have been shown to increase suicide risk among adolescents and against the advice of many doctors, including Dr. Thomas Newman professor at University of California SF, who strongly cautions against the risk of SSRI antidepressants for youth.
The Challenges of Treating Depression in Young People
Depression is a serious illness, and addressing the condition with treatment is vital. However, treating depression in young people comes with an extra level of complexity. Because the adolescent brain physiology differs from that of mature adults, children's brains respond to antidepressants differently—and in some cases, fatally.
In October of 2004, the FDA publicly recognized the risk of treating young people with antidepressants by mandating a "black box" warning, the highest level of warning possible, on antidepressant medication. The warning includes the statement: "Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults when the medicine is first started."
Scientists attribute the increased risk of anti-depressant-linked suicide in young people to the way the drugs interact with the maturing brain. In adults, depression is linked with a shrunken hippocampus and high levels of cortisol, a major stress hormone. Most antidepressants work to remedy these issues, decreasing cortisol and restoring the hippocampus.
In young people, however, elevated cortisol levels don't usually accompany depression, nor does hippocampus reduction. Scientists suspect that, due to this, the brain-modifying effects of antidepressants in youth are not only often ineffective, but in fact harmful.
Yoga for Depression: Alternative Methods for Children
Although we still have a lot to learn about how antidepressants affect maturing brains, we know enough that doctors have begun looking more and more into alternative depression cures for children, including the use of yoga for depression.
In a growing number of studies, yoga for depression has been shown to not only help prevent the illness, but to actually combat depression. For example, in one New Hampshire Hospital study, conducted with 113 psychiatric inpatients, researchers found that those who participated in a yoga program for depression displayed improvement in all five negative emotion factors tested by the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Factors included tension/anxiety, depression/dejection, anger/hostility, fatigue/inertia, and confusion/bewilderment.
More and more, yoga is being offered as an effective therapy for depression for troubled or depressed kids or children with special needs. Disadvantaged kids at the Pioneer School in Portland, Oregon are experiencing the benefits of yoga therapy, as are youth in psychiatric residential treatment programs. In inner city schools, yoga for kids is also used to help young adults deal with stress.
Unlike conventional prescription medication, yoga works to release the stored-up physiological impressions of past traumas. Psychobiologists tell us how strong emotional impressions, even once forgotten on the conscious level, can be stored in our bodies for years to come, influencing the way we feel and how see the world.
By working on the level of the body as well as the mind, yoga can unknot these subconscious stresses that color our outlook. Practicing yoga for depression also helps the brain produce neurochemicals that inspire a positive mood and sense of well-being.
Given the high risk of side effects from antidepressants, one may only hope that more doctors and health professionals will begin to look into the potential of using yoga as therapy to combat depression in kids, to give them a safe and effective way to help combat the heavy burden of hopelessness and inertia that all-too-often accompany depression in youth.

Heavy rain that fell across much of Kansas late Sunday into early Monday caused flooding issues in some area.
According to the National Weather Service in Topeka, 9.31 inches of rain fell just to the north of Manhattan. Along with issues from the water itself, high water caused a mudslide that was covering the road, making it impassable on Blue River Road.
First responders were helping with water rescues at stranded vehicles, and in evacuations of some homes. The flooding is also causing power outages.
In Saline County anywhere between 1.5 and 3.75 inches of rain fell.
Showers and storms remain in the forecast through Thursday. Additional rainfall amounts will range from 1 to around 4 inches, with the higher amounts along and northwest of the Kansas Turnpike.
Be sure to monitor flood watches and warnings, especially if you live or travel near flood prone areas.

Peshmerga II
From: Col O. Hebron
(Intelligence Officer, IGTC, S-3 )
Due to our forces reconnaissance of the region, we've gotten a better picture of the situation in the region. As you know by now ISIS is now 100% confirmed to be responsible, and the ones that has taken over large parts of southern Anizay.
At current they basicly hold everything south of our FOB, with the exception of Qalandar and thanks to your efforts, Janur. Whilst you did succeed in eliminating enemy forces in Murabat. Mian and Gorqan is still held by enemies and as such Murabat is still cut off from us. We've learned that the road leading out of Anizay to the south-east is the main point of ingress for ISIS reinforcements, so we expect Murabat to be recaptured, if it have'nt been allready.
On a positive note, the dent you put in Gorqan is most likely the reason that ISIS has been unable to capture/kill a corporate CEO at his private compound in Bum. His own security force (Paramilitary mercenaries) has been enough so far to hold ISIS back, but we don't expect them to last against a organized assault. This CEO is responsible for a not insignificant part of the Peshmergas funding. Rescuing him will go a long way to not only keep us funded, but he might be willing to fund additional gear for our fighting forces. As such his safety is your first primary objective. Make sure he survives. You'll be transported by USAF into an expected HOT LZ near the compound as soon as we deploy.
Once his compound is secure, you are to move on to Riqay, If that village is secured we'll essentially have cut off ISIS forces in the west from reinforcements, and can then focus on retaking our oil extractors and refineries in the region. ISIS is sure to know that this chokepoint is vital to them, and will most likely have heavily garrisoned the village. Expect a large amount of infantry to have dug themselves in within the town.
Last but not least you're to move and help our forces hold Qalandar, setup your perimeter just outside the town to the south-west, facing towards the enemy controlled oil derricks and refinery. We have confirmation that the enemy is gearing up for an assault on Qalandar from there, more than likely to create a buffer zone between us and the black gold.
Additional Notes:
day mission, slightly overcast, some wind.
Paramilitary forces in Bum can be identified by black/white gear, and croatian VHS assault rifles.
Expect civillian hostages in Riqay
Most civillians in Qalandar has been told to stay in-doors. But it's not guaranteed.
Arsenal contains whitelisted gear exclusively. Items in the arsenal will be utilized based on squad/fireteam leaders discretion.
Due to arsenal being whitelisted, prepping loadouts in VR arsenal will not be effective.
- Aid in the defense of Bum
- Bum is a compound in the southernmost region of Anizay.
- The owner of the compound has local paramilitary on his payroll to secure it.
- They gave ISIS pause during their initial takeover of the region, but is now a prime target.
- Once the compound is secure, US Forces will insert a recon team to overwatch Gorqan, and extract the CEO.
- Defeat ISIS Forces in Riqay
- We need to cut off the ISIS forces in the west from any backup
- Move into Riqay and take out its garrison
- expect CQC as the village is assumed to be heavily garrisoned.
- Setup a defensive perimeter on the south-western edge of Qalandar
- ISIS has captured oil infrastructure in the south-western area of Anizay
- We have confirmation that they'll be attempting to secure Qalandar to create a buffer zone
- Civillians have been told to stay in-doors, but watch your fire around Qalandar.
- Avoid damaging infrastructure
- These towns belong to us and our people, avoid destroying them unless absolutely necessary.
- This goes double for any Oil extraction, storage, refining infrastructure. These assets are VITAL to our peoples long term survival.
Friendly assets
- 6x Offroad (.50 cal)
- ∞x Offroad (6 seater)
- ∞x Truck (13 seater)
- ∞x KamAZ (17 seater)
- US Air Force
- Recon/Resupply/Transport
Enemy assets
- Infantry
- Technicals
- Armor expected on the assault of Qalandar.

Seeing The Shroud of Turin
"Thy face, Lord, do I seek." –Psalm 27:8
I first heard of the Holy Shroud when I was sixteen. I was far from interested, but attended an evening presentation on the topic to appease my mother. That night, a spark of desire kindled awake, and I felt an intrigue.
It really was His Face.
Yes, all the scientific data about the linen was incredible. The facts scientists had discovered about the man of the shroud were astounding. But the face. The face was startling.
The child who usually begged for dessert and television was asking for seconds before an old cloth.
There are both positive and negative images on the shroud. The blood that soaked into the linen is a positive image. The picture of the man of the shroud though is negative, as if the linen received the image of him as a sheet of film paper. So when it was shown in a photographic negative, it caused me more than a little pause. It was the face of Jesus.
This sprout of fascination rested, waiting, for many years. I came to fall in love with Jesus during that time, but still that picture wrestled with my heart. I knew I wanted to find a way to see it with my own eyes.
The shroud itself is not ordinarily visible to pilgrims. It is kept secure and only becomes available every handful of years for a brief period. I had thought I would not catch the window while I was living in Europe until a friend emailed me: the shroud was open for viewing.
My parents — on a stroke of providence — would be visiting at the time, so I secured tickets and a rental car and lodging, and when they arrived into Germany, we left a mere three days later to drive across Europe on pilgrimage.
I had separated our ticket times so I could go without my children. I arrived eager and unsure of what to expect. There was a long avenue — 800 meters — that led me in a windy path through security and toward the cathedral. I lifted up my many intentions and silently prayed my rosary. It was wonderful to walk at my pace, to not speak, to prepare myself quietly. A video was offered that highlighted the sections on the linen and what they were. Nail wounds, crown of thorns, chest wound, facial blows, scourgings. It closed by showing the negative images, and again I saw that face that had shocked me fifteen years previously. I was struck by the enormity of reality: Jesus truly had walked this Earth.
I moved into the cathedral and was given ten minutes to stand and gaze. The shroud was visible but the space itself was very dark to protect the fabric. I attempted to quiet my wandering mind and prayed the intentions I felt the Lord had asked me to bring before Him: to know His love more, and to grow to be less selfish. I stared until the time elapsed and I was ushered out.
Confessions were being offered so I immediately went and unloaded all that I had been carrying. I left feeling refreshed and bubbling with joy.
I returned to our rental apartment, collected my parents and children, and got back in line. My 5 year old Mary was ticketed to go with my parents, but I had not originally intended my 2 year old Grace to go. I do not know why, but I felt a stirring to bring her. So back I went.
I spent this second visit attending to Grace in a special way. I talked to her and prayed for her. Before the shroud, she did not react (unless picking her nose is a movement of the spirit) but I felt a certainty that this was a special gift and moment for her. He was blessing her regardless of whether she realized what lay before her or not.
Mary, surprisingly, was deeply affected. She told me she wanted to go back in, and that all she ever wanted to see again was the shroud. The child who usually begged for dessert and television was asking for seconds before an old cloth. But can I blame her? It is His Face.
I am home now and life has begun anew. While I find that much remains the same, I sense a new space in me, a tender place where His light is reaching in and tugging me awake. My eyes keep returning to the picture I purchased in Turin, the picture of His Face, and I am struck again that this Jesus was real. He ate and drank and breathed and laughed, and when it most mattered He suffered to show me how much He loves me. He was real. He is real. And the shroud is just one more way for Him to remind me of this.
I have a difficult time expressing the complexity of my emotions and the experience of seeing the shroud, but I think that this is the case whenever I encounter Christ. Perhaps it isn't necessary though. Perhaps I don't need words. Perhaps all I really need is to recall that striking image—the Face of Christ—and realize that He is all that matters. He will continue to soak into my heart, moving me to love my children, myself, my spouse, and the world a bit more. And anything else, He will simply accomplish Himself.

Product Description
ELAC Vela CC401.2 Centre speaker from the Vela line features a reathtaking design and exceptional technical ability which combine to deliver class-leading performance
Sophisticated design
Vela CC401.2 is presented in high-gloss lacquered and wood veneer cabinets with a trapezoid shape that is angled rear-ward in brushed aluminum. The design is appealing but beyond aesthetics, it accounts for much of the smooth sound reproduction. The performance links Vela to the hugely successful 400 Series.
A new waveguide lowers baffle reflections while the specifically shaped baffle and angling of the cabinet all work together to improve the definition of sonics. Combined with drivers that are optimised to replicate high-energy transients more accurately, the Vela Series is prepared for rooms with the latest interior design features.
Form follows Function
The convex shaped baffle and large radius of the cabinet boost the acoustics since external influences of cabinet to the frequency response are limited. Vela CC401.2 offers flexible connectivity granting even more possibilities for bi-wiring and bi-amping. For optimal electrical link, the terminals and bi-wiring bridges are gold-plated.
Natural Ventilation
Dual-flared port tubes reduce the ventilation noise throughout bass reproduction. The bottom plate is constructed from aluminum and incorporates a down-firing bass reflex port which provides more flexibility in positioning of the speaker; i.e against a wall or in a bookshelf.

Titanium disulfide
Titanium disulfide is an inorganic compound with the formula TiS2. A golden yellow solid with high electrical conductivity,[1] it belongs to a group of compounds called transition metal dichalcogenides, which consist of the stoichiometry ME2. TiS2 has been employed as a cathode material in rechargeable batteries.

|Infobox references
TiS2 adopts a hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure, analogous to cadmium iodide (CdI2). In this motif, half of the octahedral holes are filled with a "cation", in this case Ti4+.[1][2] Each Ti centre is surrounded by six sulfide ligands in an octahedral structure. Each sulfide is connected to three Ti centres, the geometry at S being pyramidal. Several metal dichalcogenides adopt similar structures, but some, notably MoS2, do not.[2] The layers of TiS2 consist of covalent Ti-S bonds. The individual layers of TiS2 are bound together by van der Waals forces, which are relatively weak intermolecular forces. It crystallises in the space group P3m1.[3] The Ti-S bond lengths are 2.423 Å.[4]
The single most useful and most studied property of TiS2 is its ability to undergo intercalation upon treatment with electropositive elements. The process is a redox reaction, illustrated in the case of lithium:
- TiS2 + Li → LiTiS2
LiTiS2 is generally described as Li+[TiS2−]. During the intercalation and deintercalation, a range of stoichimetries are produced with the general formul LixTiS2 (x < 1). During intercalation, the interlayer spacing expands (the lattice "swells") and the electrical conductivity of the material increases. Intercalation is facilitated because of the weakness of the interlayer forces as well as the susceptibility of the Ti(IV) centers toward reduction. Intercalation can be conducted by combining a suspension of the disulfide material and a solution of the alkali metal in anhydrous ammonia. Alternatively solid TiS2 reacts with the alkali metal upon heating.
The Rigid-Band Model (RBM), which assumes that electronic band structure does not change with intercalation, describes changes in the electronic properties upon intercalation.
Deintercalation is the opposite of intercalation; the cations diffuse out from between the layers. This process is associated with recharging a Li/TiS2 battery. Intercalation and deintercalation can be monitored by cyclic voltammetry. The microstructure of the titanium disulfide greatly affects the intercalation and deintercalation kinetics. Titanium disulfide nanotubes have a higher uptake and discharge capacity than the polycrystalline structure.[5] The higher surface area of the nanotubes is postulated to provide more binding sites for the anode ions than the polycrystalline structure.[5]
Material propertiesEdit
Formally containing the d0 ion Ti4+ and closed shell dianion S2−, TiS2 is essentially diamagnetic. Its magnetic susceptibility is 9 x 10−6 emu/mol, the value being sensitive to stoichiometry.[6] Titanium disulfide is a semimetal, meaning there is small overlap of the conduction band and valence band.
High pressure propertiesEdit
The properties of titanium disulfide powder have been studied by high pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction (XRD) at room temperature.[3] At ambient pressure, TiS2 behaves as semiconductor while at high pressures of 8 GPa the material behaves as a semimetal.[3][7] At 15 GPa, the transport properties change.[7] There is no significant change in the density of states at the Fermi level up to 20 GPa and phase change does not occur until 20.7 GPa. A change in the structure of TiS2 was observed at a pressure of 26.3 GPa, although the new structure of the high pressure phase has not been determined.[3]
The unit cell of titanium disulfide is 3.407 by 5.695 angstroms. The size of the unit cell decreased at 17.8 GPa. The decrease in unit cell size was greater than was observed for MoS2 and WS2, indicating that titanium disulfide is softer and more compressible. The compression behavior of titanium disulfide is anisotropic. The axis parallel to S-Ti-S layers (c-axis) is more compressible than the axis perpendicular to S-Ti-S layers (a-axis) because of weak van der waals forces keeping S and Ti atoms together. At 17.8 GPa, the c-axis is compressed by 9.5% and the a-axis is compressed by 4%. The longitudinal sound velocity is 5284 m/s in the plane parallel to S-Ti-S layers. The longitudinal sound velocity perpendicular to the layers is 4383 m/s.[8]
Titanium disulfide is prepared by the reaction of the elements around 500 °C.[6]
- Ti + 2 S → TiS2
It can be more easily synthesized from titanium tetrachloride, but this product is typically less pure than that obtained from the elements.[6]
- TiCl4 + 2 H2S → TiS2 + 4 HCl
This route has been applied to the formation of TiS2 films by chemical vapor deposition. Thiols and organic disulfides can be employed in place of hydrogen sulfide.[9]
A variety of other titanium sulfides are known.[10]
Chemical properties of TiS2Edit
Samples of TiS2 are unstable in air.[6] Upon heating, the solid undergoes oxidation to titanium dioxide:
- TiS2 + O2 → TiO2 + 2S
TiS2 is also sensitive to water:
- TiS2 + 2H2O → TiO2 + 2 H2S
Upon heating, TiS2 releases sulfur, forming the titanium(III) derivative:
- 2 TiS2 → Ti2S3 + S
Sol-gel synthesisEdit
Thin films of TiS2 have been prepared by the sol-gel process from titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OPri)4) followed by spin coating.[11] This method affords amorphous material that crystallised at high temperatures to hexagonal TiS2, which crystallization orientations in the [001], [100], and [001] directions.[11] Because of their high surface area, such films are attractive for battery applications.[11]
Unusual morphologoes of TiS2Edit
More specialized morphologies - nanotubes, nanoclusters, whiskers, nanodisks, thin films, fullerenes - are prepared by combining the standard reagents, often TiCl4 in unusual ways. For example, flower-like morphologies were obtain by treating a solution of sulfur in 1-octadecene with titanium tetrachloride.[12]
Fullerene-like materialsEdit
A form of TiS2 with a fullerene-like structure has been prepared using the TiCl4/H2S method. The resulting spherical structures have diameters between 30 and 80 nm.[13] Owing to their spherical shape, these fullerenes exhibit reduced friction coefficient and wear, which may prove useful in various applications.
Nanotubes of TiS2 can be synthesized using a variation of the TiCl4/H2S route. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), these tubes have an outer diameter of 20 nm and an inner diameter of 10 nm.[14] The average length of the nanotubes was 2-5 µm and the nanotubes were proven to be hollow.[14] TiS2 nanotubes with open ended tips are reported to store up to 2.5 weight percent hydrogen at 25 ⁰C and 4 MPa hydrogen gas pressure.[15] Absorption and desorption rates are fast, which is an attractive for hydrogen storage. The hydrogen atoms are postulated to bind to sulfur.[15]
Nanoclusters and nanodisksEdit
Nanoclusters, or quantum dots of TiS2 have distinctive electronic and chemical properties due to quantum confinement and very large surface to volume ratios. Nanoclusters can be synthesized using micelle. The nanoclusters are prepared from a solution of TiCl4 in tridodecylmethyl ammonium iodide (TDAI), which served as the inverse micelle structure and seeded the growth of nanoclusters in the same general reaction as nanotubes.[14] Nucleation only occurs inside the micelle cage due to the insolubility of the charged species in the continuous medium, which is generally a low dielectric constant inert oil. Like the bulk material, nanocluster-form of TiS2 is a hexagonal layered structure. . Quantum confinement creates well separated electronic states and increases the band gap more than 1 eV in comparison to the bulk material. A spectroscopic comparison shows a large blueshift for the quantum dots of 0.85 eV.
Nanodisks of TiS2 arise by treating TiCl4 with sulfur in oleylamine.[16]
The promise of titanium disulfide as a cathode material in rechargeable batteries was described in 1973 by M. Stanley Whittingham.[17] The Group IV and V dichalcogenides attracted attention for their high electrical conductivities. The originally described battery used a lithium anode and a titanium disulfide cathode. This battery had high energy density and the diffusion of lithium ions into the titanium disulfide cathode was reversible, making the battery rechargeable. Titanium disulfide was chosen because it is the lightest and cheapest chalcogenide. Titanium disulfide also has the fastest rate of lithium ion diffusion into the crystal lattice. The main problem was degradation of the cathode after multiple recycles. This reversible intercalation process allows the battery to be rechargeable. Additionally, titanium disulfide is the lightest and the cheapest of all group IV and V layered dichalcogenides.[18] In the 1990s, titanium disulfide was replaced by other cathode materials (manganese and cobalt oxides) in most rechargeable batteries.
The use of TiS2 cathodes remains of interest for use in solid-state lithium batteries, e.g., for hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles.[18]
In contrast to the all-solid state batteries, most lithium batteries employ liquid electrolytes, which pose safety issues due to their flammability. Many different solid electrolytes have been proposed to replace these hazardous liquid electrolytes. For most solid-state batteries, high interfacial resistance lowers the reversibility of the intercalation process, shortening the life cycle. These undesirable interfacial effects are less problematic for TiS2. One all-solid-state lithium battery exhibited a power density of 1000 W/kg over 50 cycles with a maximum power density of 1500 W/kg. Additionally, the average capacity of the battery decreased by less than 10% over 50 cycles. Although titanium disulfide has high electrical conductivity, high energy density, and high power, its discharge voltage is relatively low compared to other lithium batteries where the cathodes have higher reduction potentials.[18]

Date & Time时间: 18:30-20:30,Thursday, September 19th, 2019
Venue地点: (CBPM C119)
Zhaoyang Zhang received his Ph.D. in history from University of California at Berkeley (2010) and is currently an associate professor in Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. He has published about 30 articles in leading academic journals and conducted a number of important research projects. He has very broad research interests: so far, most of his works focus on early history of China, while he also pays attention to other aspects of China's past.
Brief introduction of the lecture:
Historically, the Maritime Silk Road extends from the coastal China to West Asia, North Africa and East Africa, which has had a great impact on world civilization. This lecture will introduce the most representative archaeological discoveries.
- A) The sunken ship "Nanhai No. 1" , discovered in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, in the Song Dynasty, contained various types of foreign trade porcelain with diversified origins, which illustrated the prosperity of foreign trade in the Song Dynasty.
- B) The sunken ship "Black Stone" in the Tang Dynasty, found in Indonesian waters, was filled with Chinese porcelain. The porcelain diversified with Arabic inscriptions, Tang poems and Buddhist auspicious patterns, showing pluralism of Tang Dynasty. Also, the ship shows how culture, belief, technology and language can be spread from one region to another through trade and merchandise.
- C) More than 10,000 pieces of Tang-Ming Chinese porcelain fragments were found at the Egyptian medieval site of Forstadt, which witnessed the history of trade between China and Arab countries. Chinese porcelain became the most popular luxuries in Mediterranean area and was leading the local fashion.
The history of the ancient Maritime Silk Road can help us understand how international commerce developed and how the commercial structure formed. It has important reference significance for encouraging the exchange and trade between different cultures.

Skin Care Products Just Not Working? How To Get The Perfect Skin
Every woman dreams of a flawless skin that is smooth and spotless to the extent that some consider going for skin surgeries. However, it is essential to know that people have different kinds of skin, and the general way of attaining your perfect skin is by keeping healthy. Also, not so many women understand that dark skin is also beautiful leading to them using bleaching agents on their precious skins. What they fail to understand is some of the bleaching agents used are dangerous. To get the perfect skin, you can do the following;
Healthy diet
While many people rely on skin care products to keep them looking young, most don't understand that these products can only go far when it comes to treating the skins cells.
Moreover, the products applied on the skin surface never get too far in hence only provide a temporary solution. That is why, even when you begin using a new skincare product, the changes usually are fast and can be noticed easily. When you eat a healthy diet, you will be caring for your skin right from the cellular level. Eating fruits like mangoes and tomatoes are known to promote healthy skin and keep away diseases as well.
Without eating right and stressing your skin to be perfect using the favourite products is also risky. That is because most of these beauty products contain different chemicals that might not react well with your skin cells. By depriving them the right nutrients, you can fail to attain the expected results using your products. Also, know that drugs like cigarettes and alcohol are lethal to your skin.
Avoid stress
If you look at the solutions that people rush for when it comes to skin problems, you will realize that so many ladies and even men know so less about their skin. When you are stressed, your body produces enzymes that can have various effects on your physical health. That is why you find that when someone is stress, they hardly have the energy and focus on doing anything. The same thing happens to your skin. You can quickly tell someone who is living a stressful life from one living comfortably by looking at their skin. When you are always stressed, your skin will become dry and pale because you will not even be eating right to provide your skin with the right nutrients.
Stay hydrated
When people hear about keeping the skin moisturized, the first thing that hits their minds are the numerous skin moisturizers available in the market. As said earlier, beauty products can only go so far when it comes to maintaining healthy skin cells. When you want to properly moisturize your skin, first of all, ensure that it is the skin cells you are dealing with. However, keeping your skin from drying is easy because it only requires you to drink enough water throughout the day. Many men and women don't drink water as, and that is risky to your skin. Know that no matter how much skin moisturizer you use, without hydrating, your skin will still become dry after some time.
Get enough sleep
It is recommended that an average human being gets between 9 to 7 hours of sleep every day. According to research, it was discovered that people who don't get enough sleep have bad skin types that age prematurely. That is because they don't allow their bodies enough time to repair. When you are asleep, the body goes into repair mode, and even the skin cells get the time to regenerate. In a world where everyone is too focused on reaching their goals, so many people don't sleep enough, yet still complain about having skin problems.
Skin care should be more than the products we so much rely on. From the read, you already know that no matter what kind of skin product you use, without considering your diet and other skin care practices, you will never get the results you expect. It is also good to know that it is crucial to keep your skin clean all the times. That is because it is easy for you to come into contact with substances that are deadly to the skin without knowing it. Things like dust also make the skin to become dry.

There is a reason why London was recently voted the top place to visit in the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award 2019 and that is because there is so much to do! Take a sneak peak in our video below.
We want to give you some of our best tips to enjoy your stay in London!
Best Way Round – Tube (Underground)
Make sure when you arrive in London you buy an Oyster Card. You will have to pay a refundable deposit of £5, but you will need this if you want to pack in everything within a short stay. Expect to pay around £6-7 per day using the tube. Remember to hand your card back into a kiosk for a full Oyster Card refund at the end of your trip.
Best Place To Stay – The East London Hotel
Just outside Central London in Bethnal Green is The East London Hotel. Situated close to the tube, the hotel is the ideal place for a short stay.
The hotel is sleek, functional and cosy; and comes at a great price compared to comparable chain hotels. Make sure to book direct with the hotel and get another 10% off.
Click here for the website to receive discount.
Best Instagram Shot – Neal's Yard
Neal's Yard is situated in Covent Garden and has now become a tourist hotspot. Once a former derelict yard, Neal's Yard now boasts many independent businesses.
What draws visitors to this 'off the beaten track' courtyard is the colourful array of buildings that surround it – ideal for snaps!
Best Place For a View – Shard
The current highest building in London, The Shard, has the best landscape views of the city. After being screened through tight security, you will go up two elevators to reach the top deck.
Once at the top you will have a 360 panoramic view of Central London. The platform is good for photographs – dependent on where the sun is shining – and you will be able to see beyond London on a good day.
Note: Any keen photographers will not be permitted on the viewing platform with a camera tripod. This was taken off us before going up.
Best Place To Eat – Borough Market
Borough Market is full of an array of food from small businesses and for us was the number one place to find something eat.
From hallomi wraps to salt beef bagels the market has something for all. Please note that during the weekend the market can be very busy, so do expect the crowds when you visit.
Best Tour – UK Parliament
As a UK citizen I only recently found out that I was entitled to a free tour of parliament. After booking several months in advance, I was able to take a 90 minute tour of the 'mother of parliaments'
If you are a fan of british politics you will be able to spot Members of Parliament in the morning inserting their prayer cards into their seats to secure seating for the day ahead. We saw Vince Cable MP, Philip Hollobone MP and the Deputy Speaker whilst on the tour.
The link to book a tour of parliament is here and is open to non-UK citizens.
Best Museum – The British Museum
The British Museum is packed full of historical monuments.
Upon entering you will be amazed at the Great Court's glass roof and you will get lost in the many rooms the musuem has to offer. From Ancient Greece to 18th century Japan, the museum will have your attention for at least a day.
This musuem is free to enter and will be busy, so expect some queuing to enter and busy exhibitions once inside.
