PC/ABS is a family of alloys suitable for a wide range of engineering applications. They are characterized by their excellent impact and heat resistance.
Their main applications are enclosures for business equipment and electrical appliances, such as for notebook computers and cellular phones. PC/ABS are also used for the production of mechanical parts for computer and business equipment such as fans and carriages.
Phosphorus based fire retardants systems based on FyrolflexTM RDP, BDP or recently introduced Sol-DP, an easy to handle free flowing powder, allow achieving highest level of fire retardancy for E&E equipment housing applications.
When high heat distortion temperature is required, it is then recommended to use polymeric brominated FR systems based on high molecular weight F-2400, F-3100 or FR-1025. ICL-IP also recommends to consider the use of its proprietary SaFRon® 5531, a polymeric FR system with built-in anti-dripping properties that can be used as a stand-alone FR or in combination with others. Antimony trioxide is not needed in most PC/ABS applications.

After my alarming solo crawl, and then the magical Easter family crawl, I wondered what might be next. The crawl has become about everything. ….fear, courage, family, freedom, future, resurrection, regression, progression, past, present, city, dreams, community, insanity. The list goes on and on. But this week I was looking forward to something upbeat and simple. Then I received some awful news.
My friend and former band mate Julia "Burn" Brightly was very sick in a London hospital. Cancer. Sudden and moving fast. I went as soon as I could and I spent two days visiting with her. She was dying and I said goodbye. I knew I would never see her again. The day after I left she was gone.
Julia was once Stephen. We were in a trio with his wife called Raw Believer. That trio broke apart. I called Stephen, a year or so later, and asked him to be in a duo with me called, Crash&Burn. I asked which one he wanted to be and he said Burn. That left me one option. After our first or second rehearsal Stephen revealed to me that he was on his way to becoming a woman. It was a decision that had been coming for a lifetime. It was a scary and liberating and confusing time. I started calling him Burn. I was Crash. It all made sense. We talked about calling him Burnadette, but that didn't stick. I sometimes accidentally referred to her as him, onstage, and that upset her. Old habits are hard to break. We put on one hell of a show.
Burn became Burn Brightly, and ultimately our duo broke up. Burn Brightly became Julia Brightly. And Last week Julia Brightly died. And Burn died. And Stephen died.
We played dozens of shows and made many songs together. Her journey was not always easy. She was a sonic wizard, and a brilliant musician. She was brave and she loved to laugh. And she was my friend. She loved Crawling Home. I wrote a song called Crawl Away With Me and Larry shot some video on this latest crawl from 110th St to 125th and we put the two together.
This crawl is for Stephen. And Burn. And Julia most of all.

I think today is blog day. We have a big rush yesterday and I'm going in three directions and I am delivering three dogs tonight!! If all goes well, Stormy, Casey and Annie will all be in homes tonight. TWO of the new families will get half price adoption because they are taking Birthday Dogs!! (correction – Casey and Annie were delivered – Stormy was not. Both were Birthday Dogs)
Maggie is doing wonderfully in her new home. Joan and the crew are very happy – but I'm sure you've gotten all of that thru Dusty's blog.We have two new boys in the kennel – A very dark, almost black, brindle boy named Oshkosh Pumped and we're calling him Boogie. And a tall, very red boy named Atascocita Papa. He's big and red so he's now called Clifford. They are both three years old and we'll have more info up on Petfinder shortly. They are already at the vet so they'll be ready for adoption soon.
Taylor's birthday on Sunday was uneventful. He had someone come to look at him but it wasn't the right fit for him. But that's okay. He's still popular and will find his forever home soon.
We have about 6 confirmed people coming to the Pot Luck in three weeks. Really need to rally the troops. Everybody says they want to get together and in the summer it's too hot to do much outside. This is a great way to visit with greyhound friends and they've got to eat anyway!!
(Honestly, if it doesn't pickup, I'm going to have to cancel. There's 8 girls in the Scout troop. I would hate for them to outnumber us.)
Love, Peace & Greyhounds,

After spending many years behind bars before being exonerated, a group of criminal justice reformers are working to teach New Orleans youth the value of their freedom and their own power to make the right choices.
Shareef Cousins was 16 when he was sentenced to death on murder charges in New Orleans. Eleven years later, at age 27, he was exonerated and returned home. He got a job and he would eventually enroll in college. But even as a free man, Cousins still carried a heavy burden from his years behind bars.
"You know we're talking about a kid. I was depressed. I didn't deal with that, I didn't deal with just the reality that half of my youth has been just taken away from me," he says. "A lot of times when we're released from prison we think, 'Oh, I'm released, I'm free, I'm good.' But you're not good."
That's why he joined a New Orleans nonprofit called Resurrection After Exoneration. This group advocates for criminal justice reform in the halls of power, while on the street level it helps men and women coming home from prison. Resurrection After Exoneration was founded by John Thompson, another New Orleans man who served 18 years in a Louisiana prison before his own exoneration. He now runs a screenprinting company in New Orleans called Beacon Industries.
"Some of us had smooth transitions back into society, I was one of them. We couldn't say the same for our other brothers," he says.
Thompson knows that without support, the future for people coming home after long periods of incarceration is grim.
"It's that self destruction. No one to talk to, no doctors, no psychiatrists, no one to really fan it out on. You have family members not understanding how to help you," he says.
This is where Resurrection After Exoneration steps in, helping them with the very basics at first, like clothes and housing, and then working on counseling, GED classes and job skills to get them on the right track. And the program is expanding, as Cousins explains.
"We know that our program works for exonerees, so now we're saying, you know what, we need to expand it to formerly incarcerated, period," he says. "Empower ourselves to become advocates, to become better citizens, to integrate back into our communities, knowing who you are and accepting who you are and developing who you are and being able to give who you are in a community."
Resurrection After Exoneration is lobbying lawmakers to provide more compensation and support for those who were wrongly incarcerated. And the group is also using the perspective of its members, as people who survived some of the darkest rungs of the criminal justice system, to reach out to local high school students through a program called My Choice My Voice.
"So My Choice My Voice says, you know what, not only us as exonerees, but we as formerly incarcerated black men have a responsibility to reconstruct what's happening in our own communities," says Cousins.
Or, as Thompson puts it:
"We're trying to let them know how precious life is, how we lost our freedom. Nothing is worth hurting your brother, we are trying to really get that message across."

5 Ways To Make Your Hydration Dreams A Reality
If you've ever opened a magazine and read about Elle McPherson's, Jennifer Aniston's or any other super human's "secret" to looking young, staying fit and just being generally perfect, it probably included drinking lots of water.
Of all the possible wellness tips you could get, this might be the best! It doesn't require a private chef, personal trainer, or some crazy expensive powder you can't pronounce and don't know where to buy. Plus, you already drink some water, it's (basically) free and you can even order it at a bar. Easy. You totally got this one!
So, what happens next? You spend about 12-48 hours pounding water and peeing every 45 minutes, and then the next day you get home from work and realize you've barely had a glass. Meanwhile, you're working out all the time, eating gluten free everything and even taking probiotics, but for some reason, you can't just drink water. WTF? Why is this of all things so hard?
There's no denying that staying hydrated is good for you—it helps eliminate toxins, clears your skin, aids in weight loss, gives you energy. It's basically that magic potion you just bought online and are waiting to arrive.
Aside from the benefits of being well hydrated, we all know what the opposite feels like—headaches, dry skin, dizziness, fatigue (hello hangover, I know you). But I get it: It's hard to remember to drink water when you're busy and quite frankly, sometimes you just don't feel like it.
So how do you make this whole hydration thing work for you? A few tips:
1. Go drink a glass of water. Like right now. Down it like a frat boy would a Yeager bomb.
2. Try it with a squeeze of lemon, or get fancy with some strawberries and cucumber. My favorite: a vanilla bean and mint leaves. Trust me, it's so good.
3. Get a snazzy water bottle and take it everywhere. Invest in a good one that you really like, even if it's a little more expensive. If you travel a lot, bringing an empty water bottle through security is totally allowed. And you can even fill it up on the plane.
4. Get a head start on the day by chugging two big glasses of water right when you get up. I don't like to have really cold water first thing in the morning, so I leave it out at night or just mix it with a little hot water from the kettle.
5. Make visual reminders: Put Post-it note on your computer, a fancy water jug by your bed or set reminders on your phone. There's even an app for it.
So how much water should you drink? Well...it varies by weight, gender and activity level and a host of other factors, but try for a minimum of 2-3 liters per day.

Annie and watched movies at her place last night. I talked her into seeing The Darjeeling Limited. I was super excited because some of that movie is just like Annie and me. Annie made seafood pasta and it was really good. She is quite the chef. I love being at her place. Everything is so familiar and I feel like I can relax. She is an amazing sister and I am so thankful to have her in my life.
Thanks for the lovely night, Annie.

Long an anchor of center-store, Del Monte approached us to help them expand their brand presence to store perimeters where consumer traffic and margins were much higher. But could a brand known for selling canned fruit (swimming in syrup) successfully introduce a new, healthier refrigerated alternative?
In order to be successful, we had to change the way Del Monte marketed. We knew showing this new product carefully placed into impossibly happy family snacking occasions wouldn't cut it. Instead, we set out to strip Del Monte of its 'old school' image and replace it with a surprisingly hip and suggestive sensibility. Our "Fruit Undressed" campaign did more than communicate the convenience of ready to eat fruit, but showcased the product in a suggestive way that was altogether different from anything being done in the CPG category.
Shoppers ate it up—literally. Household penetration increased 50%, leading to a 14 point market share increase in just 12 months.

University of Free State video causes outrage again
BY Khanyisa Tabata
18 October 2009
The ANC has slammed the rector of the University of the Free State for dropping disciplinary charges against four white students whose video humiliating black workers sparked a race outcry last year.
Rector Jonathan Jansen, who is the first black rector at the university, said UFS withdrew the charges in a gesture of racial reconciliation and the need for healing.
However, the ANC says its view is that the withdrawal of the charges will again harden racial attitudes not only in the university but in the country as a whole

Having started to coach ice hockey in 2006, our committee wanted something for those members that weren't drawn to playing ice hockey so in 2013 Team SPICE was formed – our very own synchronized skating team.
Since that beginning, Team SPICE has had opportunities to skate at the fantastic British Synchronised Skating championship held in Nottingham, England as well as to open several other local events.
Team SPICE was presented with an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Chair of the ISU Synchronised Skating Technical Committee, Christopher Buchanan at the 2017 British Synchronised Skating championship which was amazing! There wasn't a dry ice in the house and Team SPICE were giving a standing ovation for their performance!
On Monday 6th November 2017, Team SPICE were delighted to perform their latest exhibition routine to open the Lee Valley Synchronised Skating championship, "Beauty and the Beast", coached by Annie Hodgson and Slough Head synchro coach, Ryan Sowter.
Special thanks go to Rio and Terry Sully from Lee Valley for all their support and the generous donation of the ice skating dresses for Team SPICE.
Team SPICE performed at the official opening of the refurbished Slough Ice Arena in April 2018 to tumultuous applause!

For those of you who don't know what 30 Days of Lists is yet - here is a short run down:
It is a twice a year Listing challenge. You are given a daily prompt and it takes 10 minutes or less to slow down and give over to just a few spare minutes of creativity. I do my listing while watching my kids play at the park, while cooking supper, at work, while I'm trying to focus for the day... you name it. It only takes a few minutes! You can list in any manner you choose - on scrap paper, in a notebook, digitally, in an art journal, in a planner, on sticky notes... you name it. As long as you have something to write with and something to write on you can participate!
Head over to 30 Days of Lists to find out more and to register for this awesome challenge!
To get things started, today we're doing a Blog Hop! We're choosing one of the prompts from March 2011 and getting warmed up with a little list! Then we're sharing it on the 30 Days of List's Facebook Page
I chose the "I Make Lists For" prompt. I make a lot of lists. There is something soothing about making a to do list and checking off each little thing I wanted to get done, buy, needed to do, had to do/pay, etc. I'm a pretty organized person most days and I try to keep the chaos down with lists. Maybe that's why I love this challenge so much.
All digital images used in this list are by Crowabout StudioB from Mischief Circus.
That's my list for today y'all! I'm all warmed up and ready for next Tuesday! Well almost ready. I have some gelli printing to do between now and then.
Don't forget to register before next Tuesday and join me in this awesome challenge!
Until then,

Never use your barehands to try correcting your rubbish removal. Waste disposals are not safe even if in the off situation. Try to look for manual on your distinct disposal, or a plan on the Internet.
be sure there's a strainer spanning all drains in order to collect particles that would create a block whenever they went down the strain.

This is not meant to be a depressing article in any way and I am by no means a scientist (nor is this article based on anything but my personal thoughts) but I can't help but question what on earth is going on!? Why is everyone getting cancer? A few years back I didn't know anyone with cancer, then I had friends of friends who had been diagnosed with cancer, then a friend developed cancer and now I have relatives with cancer and have even now lost relatives to cancer. The circle has been closing in dramatically over the last decade. My partner would say that's because we are getting older and so more people have a tendency to get ill as they get older but I don't think it's just that.
My Dad is currently fighting his own battle with cancer. He developed oesophageal cancer a few years ago and was so incredibly lucky to have caught it early, have a successful operation and chemotherapy which all but cleared everything up. He has enjoyed two years cancer-free but now it has come back, this time in his stomach and unfortunately it is inoperable due to having a third of his stomach removed with the previous cancer operation. So his only options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. At first we were all devastated and your mind tends to wander to think the worst but then my Dad is so incredibly positive that we are all taking one day at a time and he is an inspiration to us all.
However, this raises the question in my mind, why does my Dad have cancer? Admittedly he did used to smoke when he was younger but hasn't smoked now for well over thirty years so whether or not that would still have an effect I don't know. He has never been a drinker – I could literally count the times I have seen him drink alcohol in my lifetime (and that's a forty year span!), he hardly eats meat now (ever since his first bout of cancer when he religiously followed a macrobiotic diet) and he leads a very healthy active lifestyle: he goes to yoga twice a week, tai chi three times at a local club and dance classes once a week too all with my mum. So you can't help but question what MORE could he have done to avoid getting cancer or it returning!? My mum and I discuss this at length and all we can come up with – not necessarily just relating to my Dad but for people in general – is people's lifestyles. Compared to previous generations, we all lead very different lifestyles now. We are so busy, often stressed, we overload ourselves, because we are busy maybe we opt for processed foods as a quick fix option and then we drink alcohol to relax.
So I found this table above and it's clear that what we put into our body is the largest factor influencing our odds of getting cancer – with diet and smoking representing 65% of the main cancer causing factors. Other factors including alcohol, genetics, viruses, environment and pollution. So what can we do? My partner says (and I know this is true) that we all have cancer cells in our body, they just lie dormant for most of us and then something comes along and activates the cancer cells in some people. A very simplistic approach – as I said I am no scientist!! But how can we prevent our cancer cells becoming active? Straight off the mark, it seems obvious not to smoke and that we should eat healthy foods. Every article I have read about cancer and using food to "cure" cancer talks about opting for organic food. So I think it's not just healthy food, but going organic that will help. I am most certainly an advocate of choosing organic and have previously written articles about this – particularly in terms of meat – just think about the farmers adding pesticides to the vegetables which then end up in your body and all the chemicals that end up in animals in non-organic meat that then end up in your body too. These all could have an effect on the chemical make-up of your body and cells. Not to mention all the products we put onto our skin: shampoos, conditioners, moisturisers, toothpaste, literally any product that comes into contact with our bodies if not organic or non-toxic could have a detrimental effect on our health. I have been using organic eco-friendly products for years now precisely for this reason and this stretches to washing powders, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, household cleaners too- all of which ends up in contact with us or even inside our bodies or that we breathe in through our home environment. Think about it- if your clothes are washed in toxic chemicals this then comes into contact with your and your children's skin, the dishes we wash we then eat from again and thus if washed in toxic chemicals this comes back into our bodies when we reuse the dishes! It's scary when you start to look deeper into everyday "possible" causes.
In terms of the bigger picture and environmental pollution we can all do our little bit to be a little more environmentally aware and eco-conscious by recycling, turning off electricity when not in use, only using the car if necessary, walking more, making eco-friendly choices whenever possible, etc. etc. Our "little bit" is not to be underestimated – add it all together and it all adds up to a lot! But the bottom line regarding what we can do to help ourselves is to be mindful of what we put into and onto our bodies. There are no guarantees of course but it's nice to feel we can do "something"!
Also working on stress levels, keeping them down using outlets such as yoga and meditation (I am biased of course as I teach yoga :-)) but I see how many people have been recommended to me by GPs and from hospitals on account of stress, depression, anxiety. Negative emotions can make the body a toxic environment to live in, low emotions can lower your immune system and make you more prone to "dis-ease" and stress in particular can lead to all sorts of illnesses. So we have to start taking back ownership of our bodies and our minds and try to keep cancer at bay in this way too.
For my Dad he is staying positive with his daily exercises, he meditates daily to keep a positive frame of mind, my mum has him on a strict healthy diet, I am doing Reiki healing for him once a week and my brother in Ireland is doing distant healing for him a few times a week too so with all these efforts combined hopefully he will be restored to good health.
I know there are no foul-proof answers when it comes to cancer prevention but I just wanted to bring a little awareness to the little things we can all do to help ourselves. A little can go a long way! Wishing you all good health.

Bathed in glorious winter sunshine the brisk breeze cut through thick layers of clothing. A biting headwind made the 10 minute gentle uphill walk from the St Heliers beach end of Tamaki Drive feel longer. The sea cliff path overlooks Ladies Bay, infamous for its nude sunbathers in warmer months – deserted bar a lone dog walker heading down the steep stairs as we meandered past.
At the top, the Achilles Point Lookout is cantilevered out towards Rangitoto Island. To the east Browns Island sits lush and green in the foreground, with Motuihe and Waiheke Islands beyond. On a clear day you can see across the Hauraki Gulf to Coromandel Peninsula in the distance.
Achilles Point (Te Pane o Horoiwi - The head of Horoiwi) has a rich history and cultural significance. Originally known as Te Pane o Horoiwi – Horoiwi arrived in New Zealand on the canoe Tainui – the point was once the location of a headland pa with its strategic lookout over Tamaki Straight. It was renamed in honour of HMS Achilles, whose captain and crew gallantly defeated the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in 1939.
The lookout has a fabulous seating area to enjoy the views, rest your legs or simply sit and chat before you head back down to the St Heliers waterfront. At the bottom of the hill, where the path meets the broad walk there's a children's playground. On windy winter days kite surfers enjoy the shallow bay.
It's a great location for leisurely walk and to enjoy the panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf. It's a short walk so why not grab a takeaway coffee or an ice-cream and enjoy the beachfront while you're there.

ANDY Johnson has warned Albion not to underestimate the Premiership's newcomers - claiming their survival will give all three promoted sides cause for optimism.
Sunderland, Wigan and West Ham have all been installed as favourites for the drop, but the Baggies midfielder believes they will start next season in confident mood.
Johnson insists Albion will need to hit the ground running in August to ensure they are not sucked into a relegation scrap.
"Even though it's our second season it will still be tough," said the former Wales international. "Those three teams that come up will be favourites to go back down, but it doesn't work like that.
"We were favourites to be relegated, but we stayed up so that will give them hope as well.
"You can't underestimate the teams that are coming up.
"They will come up to this division on a high, will want a good start so we need to make sure we're on our toes."
Johnson also believes Albion must learn from last season's mistakes. The Baggies conceded late goals on a number of occasions and the 31-yearold insisted they must buck the trend.
"Whether it's individual errors or lack of concentration I don't know, but that was costing us last season," added Johnson, who is on course for a pre-season comeback from a knee-injury.
"There were a lot of times we'd come off the pitch and been gutted we'd drawn the game or lost because we were the better team.
"If we hadn't thrown away daft points we would have been in mid-table. That's how close we are to that level.
"Next season if we can turn those into wins you will see a team that's doing okay," he added.

You are here:
The picture in net persuasiveness (the percentage of touchpoints making people more likely to vote for the party minus the percentage of touchpoints making people less likely to vote for the party) has changed quite dramatically this week.
In the first Leaders Debate the freshness of Nick Clegg and the LibDems' policies were encouraging more people to take note of the LibDems and to persuade floating voters to consider the party. By last week, net persuasiveness had fallen and now it is at par although this is due to polarisation (+32% and -32%) rather than a solidifying of voting intentions.
The negative persuasiveness of News (TV, Radio and Newspaper) is largely due to the reporting of Bigotsgate. Over half of all Labour touchpoints on April 29th were for news (53%). Gordon Brown stole the limelight (38% of all experiences on April 29th were for Labour in contrast with 27% for Conservatives and 22% LibDems) but in a detrimental way with net persuasiveness of all Labour experiences being -29% (v Conservatives -6% and LibDems +16%).
"I switched on the BBC news during my lunch today and it featured an item about Gordon Brown meeting the public in Rochdale and answering a Labour supporter's questions. He later made unguarded comments about her when he didn't realise he was being recorded in which he referred to her as a bigot. This is very damaging for the Labour Party because it reinforces the idea that Gordon Brown says one thing to the public's face and another in private. I feel that the Labour government has lost contact with ordinary people and their concerns, probably because they have been in power too long. As a lifelong Labour voter I am even less likely to support them now, I have already decided to defect to the Lib Dems in this election."

Caribou plays the sentimental DJ
Photo by Thomas Neukum
Accessibility is a tough art to master.
Writing music with universal appeal can come off as pandering, or be outright bland. But Dan Snaith doesn't rely on cliché to reach the masses, even if his latest Caribou LP is all about love. The love he's singing about is complex and human, not some pre-packaged romance.
Our Love is an exercise in Snaith getting outside his own head, sharing his most personal music to date with his voice no longer heavily manipulated or buried under samples.
"I think it is a confidence thing," says Snaith. "The consideration of ego is to say 'let's put in as many things as possible to kind of prove to people that this music has enough going on to justify its existence."
Snaith's latest is brimming with confidence while at his most vulnerable, managing to create a sense of space on Our Love that before had always escaped him. He's shaken the insecurity of people hearing him singing, a byproduct of playing hundreds of shows since the release of his last LP Swim, including a tour with Radiohead.
But Snaith says there's always a bit of doubt whether he can do it again, despite the mounting acclaim over the course of his last three Caribou releases.
"It hasn't really made it easier. I still put in long, long hours making loads of tracks that don't get used, trying to figure out something new and exciting that could form the basis of the sound of this record," he says.
"One thing that confidence and experience helps with is I kind of know I just need to keep working and something will happen."
Though he's been based in London for the past decade, the Dundas, ON native invited two fellow Canadians to collaborate on Our Love. Owen Pallett's violin can be heard on "Silver", and Jessy Lanza is featured heavily on "Second Chance". But their impact on the record expands beyond that, Snaith sending them (along with his friend Kieran Hebden, better known as Four Tet) early demos to get their input.
"A big part of what made the record so special is their input, when I hear those songs I'll always remember them," Snaith says.
"I just rely on that so much. When I make something and let it sit for a month I can be objective, but the day after, the week after, I don't have that distance to judge it. Especially with Owen and Jesse, they're coming at the music from a complementary but different angle."
Dan first collaborated with Owen under Snaith's club moniker Daphni. They were both in Toronto at the time and Dan proposed the two try and make some dance music.
"I said, let's just book a studio and see what happens. And we had so much fun. We got in there and I was just hitting buttons and jamming away on things, and he was getting out a piece of paper and writing everything out on a score," he says.
Snaith, who completed conservatory piano himself, says it's more than Owen's training that makes him such a great musician, capable of bridging gaps between the classical world and the pop or dance music worlds.
"He has a different way of picturing what's going on," says Snaith. "There are plenty of people with classical training but Owen's one-of-a-kind. His take on music is very, idiosyncratically, his own."
With Caribou growing out of home recording experiments for the past 14 years, on Our Love Snaith is at his most intimate, singing about his own experiences and those of his close friends.
He's pulling from what he says have been the happiest years of his life, while also having friends go through divorces and losing friends from his and his parents' generation. "Julia Brightly" is named after his friend and sound engineer who passed away in May.
On this record Snaith builds an appropriate space for this kind of soul-baring. The record is largely warm, soft and pulling from one of the most sensitive musical styles — R&B.
"The first thing that was aesthetically exciting for me was the production sounds in contemporary R&B. Glassy, synthesized things where everything is very manufactured and glossy [...] with a synthetic frame for a human voice," says Snaith. "I thought the record would be much more in that way."
But on the most tender moments of Our Love, like the slow crescendo "Back Home" and album closer "Your Love Will Set You Free", it's the classics that come to mind — albeit with a digital palette. Playing Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye records for his daughter crept into his writing in an unexpected way.
"Those records were doing what I wanted this record to do, which is to be warm and generous, to share my personal life," he says. "Those records are the epitome of that, feeling the presence of the person who made the record in the room when you listen to it."
"Mars", the closest thing to a typical club song on the record, is the outlier. Originally written a couple days ahead of a Boiler Room set he did with Jamie xx in 2011, there was something about the track that made him want to keep it off his Daphni debut Jiaolong. The treat of being able to hear its propulsive, syncopated drum line played by a live band is reason enough.
DJ-ing gave him a chance to completely base his set off the audience, picking songs as he goes, being a part of the crowd while dictating the soundtrack. It's the polar opposite of what he does live with Caribou, where he's an avid multitasker — especially since touring with the more electronic-based, pop-take on Ricardo Villabos Swim LP.
"There are some points in songs when we're playing live when I can't pay attention at all to what's going on in the audience, there's so much going on [onstage]," he laughs. "I have to be making eye contact with Brad [Weber] who's playing drums, and John [Schmersal] who's playing bass and Ryan [Smith], stepping on this, pushing this button, singing, making sure the timing is right."
Since the release of Swim in 2010, they've been playing more dance music festivals too, where they're the only act hauling guitars onstage. With two hybrid drum kits and a bunch of other tools, they're able to turn Snaith's layered studio compositions into something that can only be experienced at his shows.
They change things on the fly, grouped close together no matter how big the stage as images are projected onto their white t-shirts. What they're able to accomplish live is a testament of how well they know each other musically. Dan has been playing with Ryan since they were 13 years old, with Brad since 2007, and John since 2009.
Having finished Our Love in April, Dan says the last few months have been filled with eager anticipation, waiting for the world to hear the record he made for us. And with the glowing reviews piling up, he has nothing to worry about as far as public opinion is concerned.
"That moment when it's coming out and you're just starting to do shows you get this instinctual read of how they like the music, whether they need some time to absorb it, it's a really exciting time," he says.
"It's kind of a fulfillment moment of all those things that you've been working on for the last four years."

This is a little speaking game I made... my love of burgers and ESL combined! lol.
I hope you can use it in your classes. You can change the conversation questions for any level or topic you'd like. For me, I am using this as an after school English class warm up, so I am asking some random questions to get the kids talking. I could happily use this for adults as well.
Here's how it works, and some preview slides:
First, show them the title slide and how to play, then the burger table. I would demonstrate the game instead of reading out the instructions, they're really just there for the teacher.
Second, get your class into 2 teams. You can play with uneven sized teams, 2 teams of only 1 pupil, whatever you'd like. It's not a biggy. Next, get them to roll 2 dice. The first dice should indicate the question out of 5 questions (on the right side of the burger table) the student should answer. If they roll a 6 they can pick any question.
The second roll, indicates the burger ingredient they get.
The object of this speaking game is to see which team makes a complete burger first.
You will be required to mark the table by using a white board marker. I'd do a different color pen for each team or if you can't mark, use a magnet or sticky notes. The burger ingredients are numbered 1-6 to match the 6 sides of the dice.
If they roll the same combination after already marking it on the table, they have to repeat the same question. That's fine especially when you play in teams as different students will roll and be able to answer the same question but obviously, with their own answer -as the questions are conversational no right or wrong answers, so to speak.
You can download this PowerPoint from my teachers pay teachers page, for free!
As you can see the question box, when pushed hyperlinks to the question slide. Click when you arrive there and the food tray with the question will appear. After answering, click the green arrow to return to the burger table slide.
Once again, you can easily edit the questions to new conversation questions and re-use this warm up again and again. Happy Teaching!

January Meeting: The Abayudaya Experience
Category : Summerville & North Area Jewish Community
Our meeting on Sunday January 24th was a great sucess!
We screened he highly acclaimed film, Shaky Camera, Shaky Tooth: The Abayudaya Experience.
This film relates the story of a team of medical volunteers who venture into the remote rain forests of eastern Uganda, offering their services to the Christian and Muslim communities near the town of Mbale. and to a small rural tribe called the Abayudaya. The Abayudaya began practicing Judaism almost 100 years ago, believing for the longest time they were the only Jews left on the planet. Once numbering over 8,000 souls, this community was reduced to less than 300 members during the brutal reign of Idi Amin when Jewish practice was outlawed. Today, the community has revitalized to around 2,000 practicing, observant Jews.
As the team gains acceptance into the innermost circles of Abayudaya society, they make subtle use of their lens to reveal the unconventional strategies this community employs to rebuild and maintain peaceful relationships with their once hostile neighbors. This experience challenges the conventional notions of identity, co-existence and acceptance as they relate to Jewish culture in the Diaspora.
The Abayudaya refer to a wiggly, primary tooth as a "Shaky Tooth." "Shaky Camera" is a cinematographic technique which usually employs a single handheld camera to give the film an unrehearsed, documentary feel, while evoking a sense of dynamic immersion.
……."This is reality filmmaking at its finest" ……. "The movie will cause you to both shed a tear and jump for joy in celebration of the grandness of Jewish diversity."
A discussion with Summerville filmmaker, Dr David Abramowitz, followed.
We were also honored by having in attendance Dr. Ade A. Ofunniyin, founder of the Gullah Society and Professor of Ethno-Anthopology studies at the College of Charleston. Dr. Ofunniyin shared his insights about Africa and the Lost Tribes.
If you want to volunteer or donate to the project in Uganda or just want more info:

In Reply to: Fear is the mind-killer posted by Bob on January 02, 2003
: : does anyone out there remember who said "fear is the mind-killer"? was it werner fassbinder or a psychologist like jung or freud? I can't seem to quite recall.
: I found it attributed to Dune. http://quotes.prolix.nu/Fear/
It is indeed a phrase put into the mouth of one of his characters by Frank Herbert, author of Dune. A long time ago, I was persuaded to go and see the David Lynch movie of Dune - three hours of my life entirely wasted - but clearly remember this phrase being spoken by some psychic crone, who, to describe more closely, seemed to be a cross between Mother Theresa, the Amazing Kreskin and Lucretia Borgia.

Education for Reconciliation is an important curriculum focus at Milton District High School. As an educational institution, Milton District has an important role to play in the journey together to reconcile relationships with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and we support the view expressed by the Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair in the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015): "Much of the current state of troubled relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians is attributable to educational institutions and what they have taught, or failed to teach, over many generations. Despite that history, or, perhaps more correctly, because of its potential, the Commission believes that education is also the key to reconciliation."
In response to the TRC's "Calls to Action," specifically, 62), 63), 64), Milton District has undertaken a process for building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. Students in the Grade 11 English: Contemporary Indigenous Voices course read award-winning fiction and nonfiction texts written by Joseph Boyden, Richard Wagamese, Thomas King, and Drew Hayden Taylor. Course concepts and skills are reinforced through rich and varied experiential learning opportunities, including class visits by Indigenous knowledge holders and excursions to art galleries, cultural centres, the Mohawk Institute/Woodland Centre, Grand River Rafting, Camp Kawartha, the Canadian Canoe Museum, Curve Lake, and Kinomagewapkong/Petroglyphs Provincial Park in Peterborough, Ontario.

Make every shave a victory with Victory Shave!
I know I've said this once or twice or maybe three times but I'll say it again. I love shaving kits! There a full shaving routine in a box. I love reviewing shaving kits because I look forward to seeing how each product compliments each other. There are many different types of kits available starting from getting everything you need to get started down to the bare bones of soap and razor. Each kit is different depending on what website you buy your kit from. What I like most of all is that buying a kit takes all the hard work out of it. You don't have to search countless websites finding the right products to suite your needs, you can just buy it all in a kit and be done with it.
Victoryshavingcompany.com is a small veterans owned business. Just because they are small it doesn't mean their soaps lack the quality to provide you with a smooth shave. All of their soaps are handmade in small batches so they can ensure a top quality product every time. Small artisan companies make their soaps in small batches so they can monitor and concentrate on quality control. They can use more natural ingredients that always offer great skin care benefits with less irritation. I had the opportunity to review their 'Special Mission' shave kit which comes packaged in a small but sturdy WWII themed box that fits perfectly into a small priority express mail box so you can send it as a gift if you want to. What I like about this WWII themed box is how compact it is. When I opened my mail box and pulled it out I didn't hear the contents inside the box rolling around. I could tell by the weight of the box that it contained several items and I knew right away that they were safe.
The contents of the box were as followed. One Omega-S Synthetic shaving brush, A heavy weight tear drop long handled chrome safety razor and one tin of soap with the scent of your choosing. I chose the 'Pilot' because of the Sandalwood and Cedar notes. The synthetic bristles of the Omega-S brush are made from PBT fiber that feels softer on the skin and lasts even longer than natural fiber brushes. The synthetic fibers of the Omega-S are corrugated improving the performance related to holding and releasing lather during shaving. The heavy weight tear drop safety razor holds true to its description. I was surprised at just how heavy it was. The hefty tear drop shaped handle feels comfortable in the palm of your hand. It was easy to grip and hold on to during shaving. The head of the razor screws of the neck of the handle and separates into two pieces for blade exchange. What I like most about this safety razor is how the safety bars located on the side of the head curve downward increasing comfort. After several shaves with this razor I realized that with the safety bars curving downward the strict thirty degree angle needed with most safety razors did not necessarily apply. The curvature of the safety bars made this razor head very forgiving. The chrome plated finish was a nice touch and made it very easy to keep clean. The 'Pilot' shave soap came packaged in a 4 oz. aluminum tin. You won't find chemical dyes or color additives in the soap from Victory Shaving, just good old-fashioned quality handcrafted product made in small batches to ensure the highest quality possible.
The 'Pilot' shave soap contains some natural ingredients that have many skin care benefits improving your shaving routine as well. Soybean-Coconut-Olive and Castor Oil, Kokum Butter, Shea Butter and Bentonite Clay help in keeping your skin soft and smooth while fighting the signs of aging. These natural ingredients help sooth dry and irritated skin, Decreased irritation caused by bug bites and stings, These natural ingredients can also act as a natural sun block and treat sunburn, These natural ingredients also help retain water in the skin increasing moisture keeping your skin soft, smooth and supple. I soaked my brush before using it to open up the bristles and soften them up. I removed the lid of the 'Pilot' shave soap allowing the scent of 'Sandalwood' and 'Cedar' to permeate the air. I started to rotate the bristles of my brush in a circular motion across the top of the soap to create a lather that I transferred into my shave bowl, after a couple more rotations the lather turned thick and creamy. It felt very luxurious on my skin and also provided a lot of slickness and cushion for my razor to glide across the surface of my skin with minimal pressure decreasing the chances of irritation.
The very forgiving razor head of the long-handled chrome tear drop safety razor made switching between angles during shaving easy. I don't suggest changing angles during a full stroke of the razor. Always stop shaving before changing angles so you don't cause serious injury. I use multiple angles during head shaving, the angle depends on what part of my head I'm shaving at that specific time. I always start on the top of my head and shave front to back pulling the razor against the grain in a 30 degree angle. I next shave both of the top curved portions of the sides of my head at a constant 30 degrees. These angles are a little tricky since your shaving on a constant angle. I will tell you from experience that these two areas were the hardest for me when I started shaving my head. From there I move on to the sides and start shaving from the top down pulling the razor, then from back to front dragging the razor across my skin very gently with an even pressure. The angle of the razor stays at 30 degrees every time. The back part of my head always takes the longest to shave since it's a bigger area. I start from the top and work my way down, then I turn the razor upside down and start from the bottom and work my way up. Both directions at a 15-30 degree angle. I use my fingers to feel around for missed areas cleaning it up with a few short strokes from right to left or vice versa. That's pretty much my shaving routine from start to finish.
I liked the performance and functionality of the tear dropped razor in different areas. The length and heftiness of the handle makes the razor well-balanced giving it a lot of stability. A razor with stability gains your trust and you feel more comfortable using it. The forgiving head increase the comfort of each shave and decreases the chance of razor burn and irritation. Switching between the multiple angles I use each time during head shaving was smooth and comfortable. I was really impressed with this safety razor and I think it's a great item to find in any wet shaving kit. I really enjoyed reviewing the 'Special Mission Kit' from VictoryShavingCompany.Com it's full of quality shaving products that give you a great shave every time, if you haven't checked out their website yet I suggest you do so now. The 'Special Mission Kit' is approved by Thebaldnation for our bald nation. Love your products and you will love the results. Thank you and have a #Baldtastic day!

Baked Spaghetti
I tried this recipe for the first time tonight and it was a hit. Really quick and easy and the kids really liked it.
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce (I actually made my normal spaghetti sauce)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups small curd cottage cheese, divided
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef and onion until meat is browned and onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.
4. Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a large bowl. Mix in spaghetti to egg mixture and toss to coat.
5. Place half the spaghetti mixture into baking dish. Top with half the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover with aluminum foil.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes longer.

The Tragedy of Tunisia
Readers must be aware of the events taking place in Tunisia. As I write, the disgraced President Ben Ali has already fled the country in the face of massive protests by the people of Tunisia who took to the streets against the brutal and oppressive regime. Like all oppressive regimes in Muslim world, the Tunisian government has a track record of brutality that has destroyed the country's people. One of the methods of oppression is by creating unemployment. This did not deter Muhammad, who used his own initiative and set up a fruit and vegetable stall in the city of Sidi Bouzid.

However, there are aspects to do with our readers that we do note for a couple of reasons. The first is to target the advertising so that it suits your needs. Doing so increases the click rate of the ads and that generates more revenue for the website as well as giving what should be at times a more useful experience to the reader. There's no other reason for it than that. Secondly, we can sometimes see what people wrote to land on our pages. That helps us with targeting our views and to understand how well the website is working.

To help you understand even more let me further explain. If you were to visit a website about furniture because you were looking for a new sofa and then visited Tech Chomps you may see a banner ad showing a sale that somebody is having on sofas. It is designed to show you something you are interested in learning more about. There's nothing more to it than that. It doesn't always work that way though. For example, if there is no ad that looks right for you sometimes the ads will show something that is relevant to my webpage that you are visiting. I, as the website owner, have no control over what is shown and when. However, I can take a look at what ads are being shown on my site and choose to ban individual banner and text ads that I don't think my readers will like.

Apple Goes After Samsung Galaxy S III
Apple is not even letting the Samsung Galaxy S III land in the U.S. before it unleashes the patent hounds. Cupertino on Tuesday filed a motion in California district court to have Samsung's new flagship smartphone banned in the states.
Apple has asked the court to impose an injunction on the Galaxy S III before it is released in the U.S. T-Mobile and Sprint have said they will start selling the phone on June 21; AT&T, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular have not announced release dates.
The Galaxy S III was released overseas on May 29.
According to court filings, which were posted online by patent blogger Florian Mueller, Apple added the Galaxy S III to an existing complaint regarding the Galaxy Nexus.
"Apple has been able to obtain the Galaxy S III sold in the United Kingdom and determined that this device clearly infringes on at least two of the Apple patents at issues in the preliminary injunction motion for the exact same reasons as the Galaxy Nexus," Apple wrote in its filing. "Because the Galaxy S III contains two of the exact infringing features already at issue with respect to the Galaxy Nexus, the S III is not more than colorably different from the Galaxy Nexus, and falls within the scope of Apple's current proposed order submitted in connection with its motion for a preliminary injunction."
However, the Galaxy S III could irreparably harm Apple "on a much greater scale" than the Galaxy Nexus, Apple said, citing reports about millions of Galaxy S III pre-sales.
According to Apple, Samsung fought Cupertino on efforts to ban the Galaxy Nexus because the smartphone had not sold enough to pose a significant threat to Apple. "While that argument is legally and factually untenable, it is entirely inapplicable with respect to the Galaxy S III, which reportedly will sell phenomenally well immediately upon launch," Apple said.
As Mueller pointed out, the Galaxy Nexus complaint covers four patents, but the Galaxy S III filing only applies to two in order to accelerate the process.
In a statement, a Samsung spokeswoman said Apple's case is "without merit" and pledged to "vigorously oppose the request and demonstrate to the court that the Galaxy S III is innovative and distinctive."
"We would also like to assure consumers that the U.S. launch and sales of the Galaxy S III will proceed as planned," Samsung continued. "The Galaxy S III has already been highly received in markets where it has been introduced."
Apple's actions do nothing but "disrupt consumers' access to the latest innovative mobile technology," Samsung concluded.
Apple this week also filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission, which seeks to have a number of HTC devices banned in the U.S.

The Leachco Cuddle-U Nursing Pillow tries to take a popular nursing pillow shape and make it its own; however it strikes out on providing necessary support for both mom and baby. At a first glance, the pillow looks promising with its cute fabric choices and the removable fabric that can be used to hold baby when sitting. Unfortunately, in terms of assisting with feeding, this pillow falls flat on first expectations and provides only a fraction of the support that its look-a-like pillow, the Boppy Bare Naked, provides.
Leachco Cuddle-U Original Review
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, water repelent
Cons: Lack of support and poorly made.
Manufacturer: Leachco
The Skinny
Our Analysis and Test Results
Nursing Comfort
The benefit of using a nursing pillow is the added support for mom and baby. Unfortunately, in our opinion, the Leachco Cuddle-U Nursing Pillow provided the same amount of support that a standard bed pillow would; just enough to keep baby off your lap, but not enough to make you or baby any more comfortable. The lack of support makes it easy for baby to move when feeding and limits how you can sit in order to nurse in comfort.
Ease of Use
The Leacho Cuddle-U pillow can easily be handled and put into place with one arm while your other hand holds baby before a feeding. Additionally, we found that this pillow does fit women of different sizes well although not nearly with the close fit we'd prefer. One feature this pillow includes is the addition of straps to support baby as he learns to sit.
Materials Used
Although the fabric beaded up liquid quite well, only the cover is machine washable which means the pillow could get dirty when spills do soak through. Additionally, after the cover had been washed just three times it became quite snug to fit back onto the pillow which made the pillow's shape retention score a mediocre five.
Ease of Cleaning
This pillow comes with a no-fuss cover for cleaning as it beads up liquid quickly and can be put into both the washing and drying machine. This sounds simple, but when you as a new parent already have more clothes to wash than before, having a nursing pillow cover that washes and dries easily is not something to be taken for granted!
If you're looking for a pillow that is part fashion statement and part support for baby to lean into, not one that is supportive for baby while nursing, then consider the Leacho Cuddle-U. However, with a list price higher than the Original Boppy and scores half as high for our criteria, we suggest you consider other options for your nursing experience.

For Immediate Release:
Federal reserve bank researchers proposed plan to save people from foreclosure, and through them the banks and the financial system. Action not taken by government.
CAMBRIDGE, MA December 20, 2011 - The US government saved the "too big to fail" banks in 2008. The reason? People were unable to pay their mortgages causing the banks billions in losses. The US Government authorized $700 billion to save the banks. The Federal Reserve Bank also gave them short-term loans that were even larger.
According to a report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, there was another way. Why not save the people who were at risk? If the people were helped, they would be able to pay their mortgages, the banks would not have needed to be rescued and the financial crisis would have been considerably less severe. The cost? They calculated up to $50 Billion dollars overall - less than 10% of what was approved for banks.
Refined variants of the proposals that the researchers have worked on would reduce the amount to just $1 billion dollars, the interest cost of deferred payments, which could be paid either by borrowers or servicers.
The Treasury decided to bail out the banks instead. At the time the US Treasury Secretary was Henry Paulson, previously Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the investment bank Goldman Sachs.
According to the study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston researchers, the people who were at risk were those who lost jobs and had mortgages for more than the value of their homes. Just by helping these people a little to get by until they had another job, their problem would be solved. If the people were bailed out, there might not have been a need to bail out the banks at all.
The Treasury considered other proposals to help homeowners and came up with the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). The HAMP program modifies loans only if it is beneficial to the lender to do so rather than foreclose, and typically will not help unemployed borrowers who can not make payments. The program was not effective, the number of mortgages that were permanently changed was under 200,000 after a year and a half.
Over 20% of the mortgages today are under water, people continue to be foreclosed and the economy is at risk. The plan proposed by the Boston Federal Reserve researchers could still be implemented.
A remarkable new twist to the OWS shout: Banks Got Bailed Out, We Got Sold Out!
Three authors of the study, Chris Foote, Jeff Fuhrer, and Paul S. Willen are research economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. A fourth, Eileen Mauskopf, is Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, and, until this year, was a research economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
One of the authors, Jeff Fuhrer, is a high level Federal Reserve Bank official, and has recently become a co-faculty of the New England Complex Systems Institute.
