Dear Friend,
It's unconscionable!
Our leaders in Congress are actually considering cutting 10 critical benefits that affect our nation's service members, veterans and their families. VFW is calling it the "10 for 10" plan—cutting 10 benefits to pay for 10 years of war. Read more about it.
We can't let this happen! VFW needs you to sign this important petition. We'll let Congress know we have an army of patriots behind us who won't let them level unjust funding cuts on our defenders and their families!
America's debt crisis calls for tough decisions. That's a given. But there is no way we'll allow them to make budget cuts on the backs of our veterans.
You can also help by getting your Facebook friendsinvolved! We need every patriot to stand up and be heard!
Update..11/17/11..Colbert Nation: "The Word"… Steven Colbert's satire is spot on. Congress demands more sacrfice from our Veterans, our Service men/women…Spot on…
From Ron Fox, friend and Vietnam veteran: To my brothers and sisters who served with me. This is very moving and reminds me of how proud I am of all of you that served with me in that far off distant place that lives in our hearts and minds. This film is worth seeing over and over again. This is a video made by and for Michigan Vietnam Veterans, but I believe all of you should appreciate this. http://www.v-prod.com/trailer_vietnam.html
(Above post/link from Blue Star Mom Pat and below link/You tube Video from double Blue Star Mom Patty – Chewy (Biker Dog) and his driver bring such a wonderful tribute as the Patriot Guard Escorted "The Wall That Heals" on March 29, 2011. Semper Fi. BRAVO ZULU and Thank you.)
"My boy was much more to me, than a name on a wall"
On Monday, Feb. 14, 2011…Valentine's day..a day of love… 'greater love has no man than this, that a man lays down his life for his friends.' John 15:13
Is a day and opportunity for those who have not forgotten the sacrifice of service of the wounded warriors. Go to the Wounded Warrior Project site and or Facebook page and unite in support of keeping our nation's promises to our service men and women.
From the Wounded Warrior Project site: http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/content/view/1191/
On Monday, February 14th join us in an outreach movement to send a message to the White House:
Read more: http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/content/view/1191/#ixzz1DfCDNgpM
(from the Wounded Warrior site): Visit the White House's Facebook page and leave a comment, demanding that they direct implementation of this support NOW! To leave a comment, you'll have to click the button to "like" the White House. If you're not a fan, you can always "unlike" it after leaving your comment.
Suggested post: Mr. President, last May, you signed legislation directing the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide comprehensive support to wounded warriors' family-caregivers. Under that law, families should be getting those needed services by now, but VA help seems still a year away. Mr. President, please cut through the red tape and direct implementation NOW! The families have already sacrificed so much!
Promises, but still no help, for those caring for wounded vets

How to be a leader in Social Media Marketing
For a layman to get started with Social Media Marketing can be a tiring and confusing job. At the same time, if the rudiments of media marked are not a new subject then one can increase the traffic flow to his website in a histrionic way and attract the viewers manifold. The knowledge of Social Media Marketing essentials can go a long way in promoting as well as exploiting the size of the market share of one's organization. Our team at Limra Hub is filled with experts who have a command over effective marketing via social media.
The groundwork on which marketing via social networks is based:
- For being successful in this type of marketing, the habit of reading the directed onlookers comment is required.
- Taking the little bit of everything and not having the command on anything is a bad policy in Social Media Marketing. It pays better to be a specialist in a particular field to build a brand base for the marketing than to confuse people by including little bits of everything for everyone.
- On any given day, quantity cannot compensate for quality. It is far better not to have a huge base of online viewers but the few who read and share their opinion rather than those who sign up and vanish not to be seen again.
- If the content published is quality based then one can reap the awards of hard work as some people definitely will share the link on social websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Blogs etc. This sharing and discussion will have an impact and viewership will grow further. The focus should always be on creating remarkable content which automatically shall lead in building relations.
All your Social Media Marketing needs can easily be fulfilled if your hire us. At Limra Hub, we make sure that whatever we do is the absolute best!

Baseball is the Sport for Aging Parents
Elder Care in Thomasville GA
At times, being retired can be hard. Though the person getting up for work at 5am each day may beg to differ, non-working seniors understand it is no easy task to find things to do during the day.
Elder care professionals have to coordinate activities to keep aging parents busy. One way to do so is to get them watching baseball. Yep, this all-American game remains more popular with those of an advanced age than it does with the younger generation. This fact is something sons and daughters might want to use to keep an aging parent interested in life.
So why is baseball such a good choice as a sport for seniors? Here are some reasons:
Baseball is Slower Than Other Sports
A baseball game has particular rhythms. Each batter approaches the box in his or her own sweet time. They take a couple of practice swings, then chew their tobacco, perhaps spitting a little on ground. Meanwhile, the pitcher prepares to throw the ball, but, first, the catcher must call for the right pitch. All of these individual actions take time. That is what makes baseball such a good sport for an aging parent. Many will enjoy being able to sit back and sip a glass of lemonade, watching a game unwind at its own leisurely pace.
Long Seasons
A regular professional football season consists of 16 games, basketball has 82 games and, finally baseball has a total of 162. The entire MLB season lasts from April to October. Moreover, there is a game almost each night during the regular season. Consequently, fans have no problem catching one. Seniors, with extra leisure time on hand, enjoy knowing they have something to do in the evenings and on weekend afternoons.
Ball Parks Reminiscent of the Past
In the last years there has been a resurgence of baseball parks designed in a fashion similar to those of the past. Despite possessing modern amenities, such as elaborate food courts, so-called retro-baseball parks are cathedrals to honor the long history of the sport as "America's pastime." Elderly parents should find this respect for the past ingratiating.
How to Re-Introduce an Aging Parent to Baseball
Some seniors may have gotten out of the habit of watching baseball. Here are some ways that one can get them back in the habit:
- Take them to a game.
- Purchase some home team memorabilia.
- Talk to them about a game attended years ago.
- Watch a baseball documentary with them.
Get Started Now
When trying to find activities for an aging parent to do, it is always best to start by speaking with their elder care provider.
If you or an aging loved one are considering elder care in Thomasville, GA, please call the caring staff at Hopewell In-Home Senior Care today: (FL) 850-386-5552 , (GA) 229-236-5552 . Providing Senior Care Services in North Florida & South Georgia

About the book:
There have been numerous possible scenarios depicted on the impact of the internet on urban spaces. Considering ubiquitous/pervasive computing, mobile, wireless connectivity and the acceptance of the Internet as a non extraordinary part of our everyday lives mean that physical urban space is augmented, and digital in itself. This poses new problems as well as opportunities to those who have to deal with it.
This book explores the intersection and articulation of physical and digital environments and the ways they can extend and reshape a spirit of place. It considers this from three main perspectives: the implications for the public sphere and urban public or semi-public spaces; the implications for community regeneration and empowerment; and the dilemmas and challenges which the augmentation of space implies for urbanists. Grounded with international real -life case studies, this is an up-to-date, interdisciplinary and holistic overview of the relationships between cities, communities and high technologies.

So picked up two things about broccoli whilst staying in Sweden. Firstly an Italian recipe and secondly some interesting facts about a new super version of the old broccoli. Broccoli is one of those things that some people don't like. I love broccoli! Perhaps more for the fact that I know how extremely good it is for my body to consume than for the flavour. I'm not sure. I munch through broccoli raw. ( but apparently if you want to lower your cholesterol levels steamed is better) Broccoli has long been known as a super food with possible cancer fighting abilities. It has a unique way of detoxing the body and getting rid of all that Ben & Jerry and booze and other toxic stuff that one ( me ) has stuffed their bodies with.. It has a combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components. The key ingredient seems to be sulforaphane. I ain't gonna tell you what that means because I will just confuse ya so check it out for yourselves. But it has been shown to boost the body's own anti-cancer weapons for example in breast cancer. In order to get the full health benefits one should eat 1 cup 2-3 times a week.
Anyways that's just some stuff about the regular broccoli. The new super broccoli is called Beneforte and has been developed by some British scientists by crossing commercial broccoli and a wild broccoli found in Italy. It contains 2-3 times the amount of glucoraphanin ( which turns into sulforaphane ones eaten) And hey presto, no longer will you have to stuff your face with broccoli to get the full benefits) I still will eat as much I broccoli as possible! There's an article on the BBC website today saying it might even slow down and possibly prevent osteoarthritis.
Apparently steaming the broccoli for a few minutes is the best way of preserving the health benefits. Boiling it (especially too long) and microwaving it kills the health benefits. I eat a lot of broccoli but I think I'm going to up my intake after having reminded myself just how healthy it is.
This fantastic broccoli pasta recipe was given to me by brother in law who got it from an Italian friend. A very simple way of getting more broccoli into you.

I was in a baking craze after those lemon drop cookies and made a chocolate pound cake inspired by this recipe. I didn't have a heart shaped cookie cutter, so I just sliced the hearts by hand, how hard could it be?
What I learned:
(a) Cookie cutters are helpful.
(b) Whole wheat flour really is different than all purpose flour, really.
(c) I will never make this again. Pound cake that took 3 times longer to make just to get a heart inside? Eh sorry, I don't love you that much!
Instead of using tons of red food coloring for the cake, I replaced some of the sugar with red sugar sprinkles (which of course have no red food coloring..)
It worked!

Vonnie Davis is a best selling, award-winning, international author who writes mainly contemporary and paranormal romance, often with strong elements of suspense and dashes of humor. She likens herself to a croissant: warm, crusty, wrinkled, a tad flaky—and best served with strong coffee.
Vonnie's heroes are always that delightful blend of alpha male with a chewy beta center. And her heroines? Her heroines are feisty females, who take life's adversities and turn them into advantages. The settings for her stories range from the gulf side of Florida to the Scottish Highlands to the hill country of Texas to her favorite city, Paris. Yet the home-base for each plot resides within the reader's heart, where the hope of everlasting love dwells.
Although she began her writing career with The Wild Rose Press, moving onto HarperImpulse and LoveSwept Random House, she also writes for Amazon Kindle Worlds and self-publishes. You'll also find her writing for the Wilder Roses at The Wild Rose Press.
Vonnie lives in a cottage in southern Virginia with her Shih Tzu, Evie. She lost her husband and best friend in April from heart disease and a stroke. Adjusting to life without him has been painfully hard. They did everything together.
She's been blessed with six fantastic grandchildren and three grown children, who take pride in the fact Mom is finally pursuing her life-long dream of writing.
Traveling is a fun way to find locations for stories. Still, Paris is her favorite destination, followed by the Highlands of Scotland. And, of course, going to see the grandkids is always a special treat. Here, Vonnie is enjoying a café au lait on rue Galande in Paris where Calvin lived for a year, writing at sidewalk cafés.
She loves hearing from her readers. You may e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com and please put "Romance Reader" in the subject line so she knows it's not SPAM.

I've been the shy, mousy girl in a corner and the laughing girl dancing on tables – a vegetarian and a shameless carnivore – a preppy, headband-wearing schoolgirl and a oversize shirt-wearing grunge girl . My style now is minimalist with a bit of tomboy chic. I wear what I want, when I want, I know the rules, I break the rules, and I won't buy anything l don't absolutely love. I've traveled the world, and have found favorites in church basements in Rome, flea markets in Paris and old casinos in Las Vegas. I love the absurd as much as I appreciate the tasteful. It makes me understand the value of value of looking beneath the surface for hidden treasure…to find the loveliness in the unexpected…and to cherish these pieces of history and appreciate their beauty.
My name is Erica; and I've been described as discerning and loyal by my friends – stubborn and picky my enemies. I sometimes curse but am well-mannered enough to occasionally feel bad about it. While I was born in Brooklyn, NY, I was raised in southern Indiana…I moved about a bit and now live in the US South. I am the literary equivalent of Indiana Jones, constantly on the hunt for the best words to pair with the proper emotion. I love a well-mixed Tom Collins, scary (but not too scary) movies, singing along to cheesy pop music and every type of tulip…and I tend to overuse the ellipsis.
I write, all the time. But I also love scouring the web for stirring pieces for the literary nomad. I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to collecting information: everything interests me and nothing will stop me when I'm fascinated with my subject! Especially fashion, art, home, film and photography.
Thanks for stopping by to see what has been catching my eye lately.

== INVITATION:== If you have recently lost (or not found) a job, you are invited to the introductory meeting of the YourTime Club. If you don't own your own time yet please forward this link along to those who do!
== DATE:== Saturday, 11th April, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
== LOCATION:== UWA hostel plot, New Thippasandra, Link to the google map: http://is.gd/rl5p or call me if you need directions (that's my mobile number up there)
== ABOUT:== The financial-crisis has entered the family. Someone we know directly or indirectly has lost his/her job. This is great news. With full-time employment, we haven't had time to do many things which were once close to our heart. Did you once like to just sit around and stare at the sky, the clouds merging into each other, making strange shapes? Or maybe try and read patterns into the flow of traffic on the street outside your house, browse the library shelves for hours? Clean the garden, cook experimental dishes, drive out to the highway only to look at the stars…
We are introducing the YourTime Club, for people in Bangalore who are experiencing a new found freedom with their time, either because you have recently lost your job or because you can't find one. So, what are you doing with this time?
The YourTime Club will meet twice a month at the University Women's Association, Bangalore (UWAB) property in New Thippasandra – the UWAB's site for a working women's hostel (see LOCATION). The site is temporarily unemployed as the project requires a further infusion of vitamin M. UWA is currently working at raising funds to soon be able to employ the site full-time.
At each meeting of the YourTime Club, we will perform activities which the club-members feel are educational, fun, adventurous, social, service-oriented or explorative**. The first meeting of this club will be on the 11th of April 2009. At this meeting, the concept of the club and the initial few ideas for activities will be discussed. Those who find some of those ideas interesting can enrol in the club. Enrollment is free.

* UWA – University Women's Association (http://www.ifuw.org/ifuwa-bangalore/)

Thunder in the 31st Century!
Len Wein, Co-Plotter/Editor/ Roger Stern, Co-Plotter/Scripter/ Sal Buscema & Klaus Janson, Illustrators Extraordinaire/ Glynis Wein: Colorist/ Joe Rosen: Letterer
Thor is in Manhattan when he stumbles upon a group of terrorists preparing to blow up a nuclear reactor in the name of some unspecified cause. Thor stops the villains, but suddenly he and the nuclear reactor are both teleported away.
What happens to the reactor is unclear, but Thor wakes up floating in space. Without any magical conveyance, Thor is frozen by the cold void of space, although it does not kill him.
In the 31st Century, the Guardians of the Galaxy are a ragtag spaceship crew, fighting for the betterment of Earth. They consist of Yondu, Charlie 27, Martinex, Niki, Starhawk, and Vance Astro. They stumble upon Thor floating in space and rescue him.
Once onboard, Thor agrees to help the Guardians in their fight against a villain named Korvac. Korvac has a plan that involves blowing up Earth's sun. Thor and the Guardians fight Korvac and his allies. They manage to destroy Korvac's base, and in defeat, Korvac teleports away. Astro uses a time machine that Korvac apparently owned to send Thor back to the 20th century.

The Dallas Morning News editor Bob Mong was on, of all places, KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket) this morning talking about the future of his newspaper. He didn't say terribly much; surprisingly, morning-show hosts Craig Miller and George Dunham didn't ask Mong about the 111 buyouts, specifically the departures of SportsDay columnist Kevin Blackistone and the great Gerry Fraley. Instead, it was mostly softball stuff; not even any CueCat drops were played, which might have sent Mong into a seizure. Alas. Mong did mention how he played football and baseball at "powerhouse" Haverford College. Sportsy. Here, then, a hastily typed and very edited transcript.
Craig Miller: Ten years from now, where is this paper?
Bob Mong: I think it's gonna be really viable paper. It'll be different. I think in 10 years, you'll have news on paper, ink on paper. It'll be much more enteprise, investigative. It'll be smaller, and a lot more of it'll be on the Internet, I think. I think that's where it's migrating. There'll still be ink on paper. There'll still be a large audience like we have today. Today we have hundreds of thousands of what I call core readers. They make up about 85 to 90 percent of the people who read us every day. We're a part of their lives. So that's our bread and butter now. It'll be smaller probably in 10 or 12 years."
Mong then said DallasNews.com produces "revenue the size of a mid-sized Belo television station. It's grown that fast." Then Gordon Keith, who contributes to the News' young-audience sampler plate known as Quick, asked Mong about what D magazine editor and publisher Wick Allison's recent story in which he offered five suggestions how to make the paper better.
Mong: I lived and died by the Cincinnatti Reds growing up, and I felt like I owned 25 percent of the Reds...A lot of our core readers feel like they can do a better job than I can in editing the paper, and I think that's great, because that means they're vested in the paper. Now, if you get a critic, though, that's a competitor...It'd be like ESPN Radio going on air talkin' about The Ticket. There's a little bit of a conflict there. I take a little more seriously what our core readers say than somebody who's a competitor."
Yeah, so take that, Wick. More after the jump. Or is there?
Gordon Keith: Do you think the lack of competition has made the quality of the paper suffer?
Mong: I don't think so. In the old days, with the Times Herald and in some respects the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, was more conventional warfare. Today, it's guerilla warfare, and if you're really honest with yourself about that you have to realize you're competiting for people's time... We're under a lot of pressure to get the paper in the bag and there early, because people are pressured... Do I wish there was more competition? Yes... In some ways we're better today, and in some ways we're not as good."
Sadly, no one asked the obvious follow-up. Rather, George Dunham wondered if the News is competing with the Star-Telegram (Mong said yeah, but mostly in the Mid-Cities), and Miller asked if the paper would ever go to a tabloid format (Mong said that's up to the core reader; what isn't?).
Miller then asked Mong whether, in 25 years or so, the Web site would be the News' "primary thing."
Mong: I think it'll be an evolution toward that. For our core readers, they get their information like you do. I am a multi-channelist...a lot of people get their news that way."
Keith: What mistakes has The Dallas Morning News made?

Mong: I would say, and I was certainly a part of this, and I am not sure it was a mistake... I think you have to experiment. If you don't try and fail some stuff, you're probably not pushing the envelope enough. There was a lot of research nationally that newspapers should go after occasional readers more than it was. Basically, the conventional wisdom was you go after your occasional readers--the people who pick you up maybe once a week--and try to move them to two or three times a week, and the mathematics behind that means your circulation will go up or your readershup will go up. The problem is, when you do that you have to change the newspaper in a way that appeals more to an occasional reader and less to a core reader, and, again, a core reader makes up 85 to 90 percent of our readers, and they're our bread and butter. And the core reader resented some of the things we did that appealed more to the occasional reader.
Keith: Like what?
Mong: Maybe more soft promotions on the cover of the paper. Some soft stories on the cover. Our core really wants a window on the world every day. They love our sports section, they don't want a lot of sports stories on Page One. They don't mind promos, but they don't like two or three sports stories on the cover. They understand something like Byron Nelson and how much space we devotged to that, sometimes a little less so with T.O. Maybe we didn't get the balance between the occasional and core reader right, and we got some backlash from our core, and we're righting that ship right now and going more toward pleasing our core with hard news and investigative reporting. --Robert Wilonsky
Update/Correction: Robert's post here is spot on, but it omits a couple items I thought interesting. Blog-worthy, even. During Mong's appearance, which we Nostradamus-ed last Friday, Dunham & Miller actually did ask him about the buyouts in general and Kevin Blackistone in particular. (Robert notes that the broadcast tape he received from Mark Friedman at The Ticket omitted this discussion, for whatever reason.) To which Mong said, and I paraphrase extremely loosely, "I like Kevin. But you won't miss him after you get a load of our next biggest and brightest star, Jean-Jacques Taylor." After I backed my car out the ditch and dabbed the vomit from my shirt, I think I heard Gordo try to pin Mong down on exact circulation numbers. Like a hamster hauling ass in his wheel, Mong went into full spin cycle. Instead of numbers, he tried to trick us with something subjective and all-encompassing called "reach." Translation: Circulation is down.

This posting works fine. Sounding good.
Sorry it has taken me so long to give a full listen to your show. I have been away from home.
I was impressed that you avoided most sport cliches, didn't yell, and didn't talk over one another. "Rebel", you sound like you need to work closer to the microphone.

Put Down the Electronics, It's Screen-Free Week
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - With all the smartphones, tablets, computers and video games around, it's easy to forget there is life beyond a screen. It's Screen-Free Week, a time to rediscover some of the joys of being unplugged.
Josh Golin, executive director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, says turning off screens can shift the focus to more engaging activities, which can improve well being and relationships.
"We want to get people to stop looking at those screens and start looking at each other because we have so much to offer each other," Golin says.
While the idea of having their children go screen free might send parents into a panic, Golin says they might be surprised with the result.
"Kids are much more imaginative at coming up with activities than we give them credit for these days," he says. "So if we can start to break that habit, as the second we're bored reach for the tablet or turn on the video-game system, we'd be amazed at the ways that kids can entertain themselves."
Excessive use of screens is linked to attention problems, poor school performance, sleep problems and emotional difficulties among children.
Golin says because kids are always watching their parents, it's important good habits are practiced in the home.
"So that means when we're having conversations, we're not distracted looking at our phones," he says. "That means we're not bringing our devices to the dining room table. We're absolutely not glancing at our phones when we're on the road because our children will be driving someday and we don't want to be modeling that behavior as well."
Experts discourage screen time for children under age two, and for other kids no more than two hours a day of educational programming. But research shows eight to 18 year olds spend about seven hours using screen media every day.


text: Emilia-Romagna, located in the north of Italy, is so named for the road called the Aemelia, which was built by the Romans to cross from the capital on the Western Coast over to the Adriatic Sea. It is famed for being the food capital of Italy, producing such international favorites as Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano, and of course Lasagna Bolognese. It also boasts a superior Viticultural sector, and is 4th among Italy's 20 regions for wine production. 33% of its wines are DOC/DOCG recognized, and 60% are reds. Of all the wines produced in Emilia-Romagna, the best known is Lambrusco. A native vine with a 2,000 year old history in the land, it is true staple in the Italian diet, and has been for centuries. Indeed, when the Seven Country Study was conducted in the early 20th century, scientists were intrigued by how the Emiliani could remain so fit, despite their high-fat diet. Soon after, it was discovered that it was the properities of the Lambrusco grapes that helped to break down the cholesterol.

Located on beautiful Lake Wheeler in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Raleigh Rowing Center (RRC) promotes the sport of sculling for both recreational and competitive adult rowers. RRC members have a variety of rowing backgrounds. Some joined the club to learn to row, and many joined to continue participating in the sport they loved so much in college or high school. Some row recreationally, and others compete in regattas. Although racing may not be for everyone, as a club we organize boats, train as a team, and enter regattas. In addition to using club equipment, many members have their own singles and store them on racks at the lake.
RRC is also a community partner and works with the staff at City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department and Lake Wheeler Park. Our club also supports other local rowing programs, including Triangle Rowing Club and Rowing Club at NC State.

12/21/12 12:21 am. I love Winter. It is such a beautiful season. I realize now that I`ve actually done most of my Winter time posts complaining that I wanted Spring! It`s not quite true. Winter may actually be my favorite season, so I think I need to share some of my love for it now.
Frosted grey across the skies
oh how the snowfall doth blind mine eyes
silent in its watchful slumber
Makes man feel all the humbler.
Happy is the one who walks
`neath solemn boughs which never talk
listen to the gentle breeze
in their hearts they find new ease.
How do those in Summer live
Running, rushing, hasty and giddy
always see those eyes of hate,
how can they bear to live this way?
We have our little Winter highs
our happiness doth reach the skies,
and there the branches be wrapped in umber
yet our hearts grow no more number.
At hastiness and poor thought we balk,
yet this silent world is full of calm talk.
A bounty of dried meats and cheese
holds us strong in Winter`s ease.

REM3D® is a 3D simulation software dedicated to plastic injection processes
Thanks to this simulation tool, you can test your innovations and analyse the influence of process parameters. Therefore, optimize your process to increase your productivity and to improve the quality and the in-use properties of your components.
Download the brochure
Contact us if you need further information
about REM3D®
With REM3D®:
Optimize your chemical foaming process
How? → For example: Determine with REM3D® the minimum mass to fill and consequently reduce the loss of material at the vents.
Analyze your filling defects
How? → For example: Use REM3D® to simulate the filling of a complex mold in 3 dimensions and/or with major variations of thickness.
Reduce mold design time
How? → For example: With REM3D®, determine the best position for gates and coolers and/or heating cartridges.
Reduce cycle time
How? → For example: Use REM3D® to determine the optimum packing time for minimum warpage.
Thanks to REM3D® you can simulate your standard injection processes but also more complex processes.
Do not hesitate to inquire our experts who will provide valuable recommendations to simulate your processes by taking into account all their specifities.
Injection Expansion of polyurethane foams
|Injection of fiber-reinforced polymers

With REM3D® you can simulate the complete injection expansion process. The thermo-rheological-kinetic coupling of the resolution allows a high level of prediction for the results. This model has been validated by our industrial partners. It allows the user to etimate the minimum mass required for injection in order to perfectly fill the part. It also enables to predict the filling defects and to optimize the vents & inserts location needed to the equilibrium of the expansion. Finally, thanks to its volumic sensors, REM3D® allows to analyse the final density in every zone of the part.
With a global consideration of the rheological behaviors and the thermal phenomena during the injection cycle, c une prise en compte globale des rhéologies et des phénomènes thermiques durant le cycle d'injection, REM3D® enables to know precisely the residial polymer thickness. On the example here below, we can observe the polymer injection (inorange) and later on the gas injection (in blue).
Temperature field by the end of the gas injection phase and prior to the packing and cooling stages. We can note that the injected gas allows not only to hollow the part, but also to cool it from the inside, which contributes the reduction of the injectino cycle.
With REM3D®, it is possible to determine the fibers orientation during the filling stage and after cooling. Therefore, you can easily observe the orientation tensor during the injection phase in an ellipsoid form (export for structural analysis with Digimat-RP from e-Xstream is possible).
Courtesy of Solvay
Shrinkage and warpage of an injected part is higly dependent of the residual stresses. These ones are calculated with a high accuracy in REM3D®, therefore allowing an easy prediction of the shrinkage and the warpage after complete cooling of the part.
With REM3D® : no more painful initial meshing operation!
Hence, thanks to a fully automatic adaptive tehcnology for anisotropic mesh, the user obtains results of a very high accuracy without being an expert in meshing techniques. Furthermore, as the re-meshing stage is fully integrated into the computation, it is parallelized which brings to very competitive calculation time in 3D.
Thanks to this unique automatic re-meshing capability, REM3D® enables to observe very sharp defects or complex phenomena such as "jet buckling" or "fluid buckling" which are undetectable with 2.5D software-type, but critical fo rthe final appearnace of the components.
This technique, based on a-priori error minimization, has been developped by a scientific research laboratory at the leading adge of numerical methodology: this is the CEMEF , laboratory of the Ecole des Mines de Paris specialized in material forming.
Thanks to a fully coupled resolution, you can analyse the influence of material & process parameters on the final component. The sketch here after represents all steps for the resolution of the analysis. The re-meshing stage is included into the resolution and therefore totally handled by the computation which will adapt the mesh depending on the needs to observe as accurately as possible any filling defects.
Courtesy of Solvay
This resolution method is suitable for a very accurate 3-dimensional representation of the polymer front(s) during the filling stage, as shown in this industrial example:
Like all TRANSVALOR software, REM3D® this is:
- High levels of performance and modularity based on multi-core processing for greater accuracy of simulation and/or a larger number of simulations, or so as to obtain data relevant for the simulation of later manufacturing stages;
- Fully parallelizable computations, tested on a large number of cores (>64) and on a variety of platforms: Windows x64 and Linux;
- Use of unlimited Pre-and Postprocessors with a new graphical user interface allowing an effective use of the software.
- An international technical support & training staff;
- Customer requests matter a lot to determine the forthcoming evolutions of our software.

Sarnia Sting snap three-year losing skid against the London Knights
It's finally over.
The London Knights' three-year, 17-game winning streak against the Sarnia Sting has come to an end.
Travis Konecny scored in the first period, Matt Mistele added a late power-play goal, and that was all the offence the Sting (31-15-5-2) needed to finally slay their green, gold and black dragon with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.
"London's a pretty special team every year, to get a win against them means a lot," said Mistele, who's 20th goal of the season turned out to be the winner. "It was a big win and everyone kind of did their role."
Despite being new to the rivalry, the win was still special for Konecny as he grew up near London and accomplished a career-first feat.
"It's one of the teams I grew up watching, I've always wanted to beat them," said Konecny, who finished with two points. "This will be my first time beating them actually so it's a pretty exciting day."
Christian Dvorak made it interesting with a goalie-pulled goal, his 41st, to cut the lead to one for the Knights (38-12-2-1) and Victor Mete pushed a potential equalizer in moments later, but it was waved off because Owen MacDonald was in Sarnia's crease.
Regardless, the Sting earned the triumph according to Knights assistant coach Dylan Hunter
"I thought Sarnia just came out a lot harder than us right from the drop of the puck," Hunter said. "They out-worked us in areas, they played very good defensively, good offensively. They basically handed it to us the whole game."
The Bees' last Ontario Hockey League victory over London was so long ago – March 8, 2013 – that not a single player from that game is still on either team.
"To get the win and end that streak and be able to stop talking about that streak is nice," Sting assistant coach Chris Lazary said. "I know myself I was sick of it, the players were sick of it, so we can kind of move on. It's refreshing that way and to beat a good team like that down the stretch the way we've been playing it really just confirms that we're moving in the right direction."
Sarnia came close to ending the skid six days ago at Budweiser Gardens but the Knights rallied for two goals in the final six minutes.
"They could have won numerous games against us," Hunter pointed out.
But the streak had to end at some point, right?
"Yeah, for sure," London's Mitch Marner said. "Obviously we don't want it to be tonight, but sometimes it happens. Can't think about it now, it's over."
Most of the sell-out crowd of 4,522 at the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre were wondering what Marner might have for an encore as the Knights' star returned to the ice less than 24 hours removed from his wow-did-you-see-that goal against the Niagara IceDogs.
"I've been getting some nice tweets about it, for sure, but kind of forgot about that tonight, just want to play hockey," said Marner, who had a partial breakaway in the second period but couldn't get a shot off with two back-checkers thwarting the play.
The home side had a strong start to the sixth and final head-to-head meeting this season by taking a 1-0 lead into the first intermission after out-shooting its guest 15-5, and maintained the lead through a scoreless middle stanza.
Knights forward Cliff Pu had a penalty shot halfway through the second period but was poke-checked by Sting goalie Charlie Graham, who made 20 saves as his club won its third straight. Which means, for the first time since September, it is ahead of the Windsor Spitfires by two points for the division lead and leaps from fifth to second in the conference, although the Spits have a game in hand.
Kitchener, meanwhile, defeated Erie Saturday so the Knights and Rangers are now deadlocked at 79 points apiece.
London was 0-for-3 on the power play – usually its league-leading man-advantage unit torches the Sting – while Mistele had the lone power-play goal on his team's five chances. It came early during a full two-minute five-on-three opportunity after Nicolas Mattinen and Brandon Crawley were called for cross-checking and checking from behind, respectively, during the same segment.
"We pulled a little switch there and luckily I was able to beat the goalie," Mistele said.
Knights netminder Tyler Parsons turned aside 32 pucks, including a stellar stop on Anthony Salinitri.
Looking ahead, each club has a Family Day matinee Monday as the Sting host Saginaw and the Knights welcome Flint to Budweiser Gardens.
Both tilts begin close to 2 p.m.
This was Sarnia's second annual Do It For Daron game to raise funds and awareness for mental health in memory of Sting defenceman Jakob Chychrun's cousin Daron Richardson. The team wore purple jerseys to support the cause. "It means a ton to me and my family," Chychrun said… Alex Black and Brandon Lindberg were out again for Sarnia with day-to-day injuries. Matthew Tkachuk and Chandler Yakimowicz were both suspended on London's side, and Aiden Jamieson and Emanuel Vella were also scratched.

This man needs to retire
I never liked Alan Artner, the art critic of the Chicago Tribune for the past 33 years.
I don't like how he writes, thinks, looks -- and I especially don't like the things that he likes.
Well.. nothing unusual about that .. I've never read any art critic that I did like.
But now -- in his 33rd year -- he has seen fit to reverse the ONLY opinion he's ever had with which I would agree (which he wrote 33 years ago):
(referring to the artist Jim Nutt "Nothing wrong with this except that even at its inception eight years ago it was unspeakably shallow. Perhaps this time around the giggling I heard means that Chicagoans are gently but decisively laughing the stuff off our walls. Harmless as it is, Nutt's part in the ongoing joke has lasted far too long"
Why the change of heart ?
Actually -- he hasn't changed his opinion -- he still agrees with John Canaday that Imagism was "Greasy kid stuff" -- but now he repents the anger that he expressed back in his tempestuous youth.
Yes -- art is resilient -- or, or put it better, humanity is resilient -- civilizations come and go -- and still we're here to have another shot at it.
But individual lives -- and the moments of those lives -- come once and are gone forever -- and the institutional ascendency of "Chicago Ugly" is still, 30 years later, affecting the lives of artists, art students, and art lovers in the Chicago area.
A passion for our moments of life - specifically those moments spent in front of accessible paintings -- that should be sine qua non of an art critic worth publishing.
No -- despite 200 years of rule by the bourgeois class -- art is still not just "any business" -- and isn't this declaration of cynicism just another way of saying "I don't want this job any more "?
And there you have it --- painting is dead -- has everyone heard of the new 10 mega-pixel Nikon ?
Yes, I think Alan Artner has begun to dream of the rocking chair -- on a freshly painted wooden porch, looking westward over Lake Michigan.
But who is going to replace him ? Can anyone replace him ? Does it still make sense, in our fragmented post-modern artworld for a major newspaper to have a single, permanent, professional art critic ? Or would an arts-curious public be better served by an endless succession of different voices -- involved with different genres ?

A look behind the scenes of our next five books currently on print in Taiwan, and our plans to relocate to Berlin.
It's a hot and humid 31 degrees here in Taiwan, where I've just finished the printing for our next 5 books. I love to share our behind the scenes, so in this blog post, I want to give you a quick insight into the process so you can learn how our books are made, and pick up any knowledge that you might need for your own projects.
As many of you know, I always print my projects in Taiwan. I have great contacts there from my time living in Taipei between 2013-2015, and it's a quick hop from Japan where I lived until last week. I find the quality is just great, but also the people I work with are really supportive. This time around I had trouble transferring the money to pay them, and they still went ahead and printed 3 of the books before they even saw a penny. Now, that is pretty sweet!
So, let's back it up a step. As usual I was printing many books at once. This is because the cost of shipping from Taiwan to my UK warehouses, and the cost of transferring money, is so high that it makes sense to do many books at once, rather than just print one and ship it. This means that I am usually frantically working on many projects simultaneously beforehand. In this instance, we were printing 5 new books. They are:
TVC060 – A Guide to Infrastructure and Corruption – Alejandro Cartagena
TVC054 – Hotel Okinawa – Greg Girard
TVC061 – Japanscapes – Toshio Shibata
TVC058 – The Older Industrial Parks near Newport, Victoria – Bill Lane
TVC062 – The City in Itself – Rohan Hutchinson
I will explore the background to each individual book in later blog posts – in this post I just want to explain the production process that went into printing.
Due to my strict timeline (I am moving back to Europe next week, and this week is being spent with my wife's family in south Taiwan), I only had 2 days which I could be on print. This meant I had to decide which projects would be printed with me there, and which ones I would have to supervise remotely. I always prefer to be on print if I can, there is just no substitute for it, and each experience is a good learning experience. But it was impossible this time. I wasn't too worried – many a brilliant project have been printed remotely.
Greg Girard had always planned to come from Vancouver to oversee the printing of Hotel Okinawa, so I just had to choose another project that I would be on press for. Each project usually takes about a day (and in this case each project took over 12 hours each day to print). For Alejandro Cartagena's project, we were unable to produce proofs at such a late stage, so it made sense to also be in person for this the printing of this book.
Thus, I decided to print Japanscapes, The Older Industrial Parks and The City in Itself remotely. Each photographer had provided me with prints that could be used by the technician on press for colour fidelity. I received these prints from the photographers, and then received proofs from the printers from the PDF that I sent them. Once I had the chance to compare these and advise the printer on tweaks to be made, I sent everything back to them. The technician then used the proofs along with the prints and my comments to print the book.
When I arrived at the printers in Taipei on the 27th April, they already had the advance copies of these three books ready to show me. Advance copies are basically hand bound versions of the final book. It is my job, before we go any further, to assess their quality, and approve them. Luckily, everything was great with the three books and I could approve the rest of the sheets to be bound.
On the 27th I was at the printers alone to oversee the printing of Alejandro Cartagena's A Guide to Infrastructure and Corruption. It was great to see the images in print at long last, but it proved to be a difficult printing job. Once again I was reminded of the constant balances that need to be found when printing offset. The paper we were using was slightly warmer than the digital proofs we had. Therefore, I was very hesitant about adding more yellow to the sheet. I had to remember too that if I changed one part of an image, it would also affect the image above and below it on the sheet. This was made even more complicated if the image above or below was just half of a full page spread that had already been printed. We don't want the two sides to be inconsistent colour wise, so it really limits how many changes we can make on that part of the sheet. There were a few, but thankfully not too many, images where I felt that my hands were tied. I could see improvements that could be made, but I knew to change it would have major implications elsewhere in the book.
Overall I think the printing of each book is about making the book as good as it can be. I do not judge it's success by comparing it to the digital prints, because I know that we are using a different printing technique and we need to work with it not against it. There is a balance to be found in all projects, but that doesn't mean compromise. I'm really happy with how the sheets came out. It was good practice to try and get the best possible results from the printing process, and I think we did really well.
The printing took over 12 hours, but it was immensely satisfying to see it all printed and looking so good!
The next day was another 12+ hour shift. This time I was joined by Greg Girard for the printing of Hotel Okinawa – a book we have been working on since November 2015! The files had undergone extensive work in the days just prior to the printing, and most sheets came out perfect, or with just a slight alteration to be made. This was usually something like adding yellow to warm up a part of the image, or reducing the amount of cyan. It was a long day, but it was great to see how satisfied Greg was with each sheet as it came out of the printer.
It was great to spend this time with Greg in person, and we chatted about all manner of things. I have followed his work for years and consider him as someone who I can learn a lot from. It's fascinating hearing his stories of living in Asia in the late 70's and 80's. As many of you know Greg lived in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai over a period of 30 years. He has done such amazing work here, knows the region immensely and cannot tell you a place he hasn't been. He has just released another book called Under Vancouver which I was lucky to get a signed copy of. It is full of early work he shot before he left for Asia (on a freighter that took 18 days to cross the Pacific to HK!). He will also be releasing a book with Asia One later this year on his early Hong Kong work. Keep an eye out for that one.
All said and done, we left the printers for our respective accommodation at about 11pm, Greg will the folded sheets given to him by the technician under his arm. Upon viewing the sheets later, Greg found a hairline in the sky of one of the images that we all seemed to have missed – myself, Greg, the technician, the image processor. Once we found it it seemed so obvious – how could we miss it!
Though it wasn't ideal, we were able to fix up the image very quickly and send it back for the reprinting. Of course, they can't just reprint that one image. The entire sheet, front and back, must be reprinted. Thankfully we found this error before anything had been bound, which made it much quicker, and cheaper, to fix.
Now I wait for the advance copies of both books, and once I have approved them, they will be put on a ship bound for the UK. All in all I expect this process to take another 8-9 weeks between binding, approving, packing and shipping. These books will be part of our Autumn catalogue, released together in…Autumn, of course. I'm really looking forward to everyone's feedback on them.
For me its such an honour to work with these amazing photographers. I am confident that they will be great additions to the growing TVC catalogue. On a more personal level, I think the past few weeks have really drained me and I need to take a small break to recover. The days prior to coming to Taiwan to print were full to the brim – between giving back our apartment, saying goodbye to Japan, packing up our things and putting them on a ship to Germany, showing my mother around who was visiting us in Osaka – and now I need to start thinking of the next few weeks – where we can live in Berlin and what I can do to pay the rent.
I have moved a lot over the past 5 years, but it really takes its toll each time. I always think of it as x,y and z, but in reality its a long process of saying goodbye to one life, and hello to another. It feels very weird to go back to zero each time we arrive in a new place – no house, no job, no language skills, and usually few people that I know. And you have to get used to the aspects of the new culture where you are going to too. I have gotten so used to Asian culture over the past 4 years, that I think I will be in for quite the culture shock moving back to Europe, which sounds strange to say. I am grateful to TVC which has been a constant in my life throughout this time and I appreciate all of you who have supported it – I am so glad the books connect with you in the same way they connect with me.

Manchester United interim boss Ryan Giggs has dismissed talk that the club will be selling Danny Welbeck in the summer, as reported by Sky Sports.
Tottenham and Arsenal have both been quoted as having an interest in the adaptable forward who is set to be named in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad on Monday afternoon.
Giggs introduced two new faces from the academy to the first team on Tuesday night against Hull and could do so again today at Southampton in his final game in charge of the Red Devils.
The Welshman left a parting gift though, ruling out the sale of Welbeck and any of their young stars.
"We won't be selling him," said Giggs.
"We showed that the other night that bringing young players through is an important part of the club's culture and history.
"We wouldn't like to lose someone like Danny because he has done that, he has been here since eight or nine. So we want to keep him."

Hey Birtle, you are supposed to write a character sketch; write about me. I know I died last month, washed up on the banks of the Red River, but I live on. You still think about me, that says something. People who did not know me are probably thinking that I, along with the taxpayers, am better off. A wasted life; another homeless bum who met his end.
I never had the things that most people value. My parents died when I was young. A boarding school became my home. There I learned fear and shame. Without the skills or the confidence necessary to maintain a stable lifestyle, I remained on the fringes of society, taking odd jobs as a farm laborer, construction worker and janitor. It felt good to work but I was too shy to make friends. On Friday nights, we would go to the bar but it always felt like everyone was watching me. I would get drunk to shield myself from the scrutiny of others and after a while, my fears became a reality; I was not welcome.
My health was never good. Heart problems limited the physical labor that I could take on. With no friends and no family, I drank to pass the time and dream of the life I never had. I did not envy the cars, houses and fancy clothes; I envied the hugs, smiles and acceptance that I had witnessed but never experienced. No matter where I went or what I did, I felt I did not belong.
Disability income does not pay very much. The eviction notice came and I walked out to face my greatest fear. I no longer had any place to hide.
With less than a dollar in my pocket, the clothes on my back, and the items I could stuff into a small duffle bag, I set off for skid row. No matter how bad things were, I never imagined I would sink this low. They are the lazy bums; I am just unable to work. I tried, I honestly tried, but nothing ever fit.
I called you Birtle because you once lived in the town where I was born. By the time we met, I had lived on the streets for five years and you were the rookie at the shelter. In those five years, I had not amassed any possessions but I had gained a life.
I remember the day I entered the shelter, everyone stared but it was different. I sensed curiosity rather than scrutiny, warmth rather than hostility. Someone offered me a cigarette. Later I realized it was his last one. They wanted to know my name and they did not care where I came from or what I had done. We played cards and we laughed (I actually laughed). They told me where to get food, where to get clothing and which workers I could trust. While they never actually said it, they told me that I belonged. In losing an apartment, I had gained a home.
The people I met were not the sub-human derelicts which society depicts; we were simply people. We were scared, we were beaten but, in many ways, we were more human than the so-called regular, respectable public. There were no airs, no hypocrisy; an overwhelming sense of honesty prevailed. While we were the poorest of the poor, we gave and shared unconditionally. For the first time in my life, I knew acceptance and love.
All my life I searched desperately for something and when I gave up the search, I found it. Society teaches us to use external yardsticks to measure our lives but I have learned that these yardsticks are meaningless. When we look for love, we fail to see it; when we measure life, we waste it.
It does not matter what society thinks. My community has existed in every culture since the beginning of recorded time. Politicians and economists derive models and programs to fix us; the general population seeks to ignore us. We have always been here and we will always be here. I am dead now but my life was not a waste. I have laughed and I have cried. I have loved and I have received love. My name was Calman and I live on in the hearts of many. I live on in your heart Birtle because you looked into my eyes rather than at my clothes.

Concern over rising Luton and Dunstable busway costs
Concern has been expressed about the spiralling cost of the Luton to Dunstable guided busway project.
Luton Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council's shared contribution has risen from a 4.7% share of £51m, to a 4.7% share of £62m.
Luton Conservative councillor Mike Garrett said he was "shocked" that the council had got into this situation.
Labour-controlled Luton Borough Council said that the project can still be completed for its target cost of £89m.
The £89.2m project, funded by a £80.2m government grant, consists of a mainly guided busway along the disused Luton to Dunstable railway line.
It will serve residential areas in Dunstable, Houghton Regis and the west of Luton, providing connections to the three town centres, Luton Airport Parkway station and the airport.
Unforeseen incidents
Both councils need to pay towards the remaining £8.92m initial cost and meet the ongoing revenue costs, capped at 4.7%.
Luton council said the £11m increase in costs, from £51m to £62m, has been incurred by capital overspend and delays to the work caused by heavy rain, plus unforeseen events.
These have included the discovery of additional Japanese knotweed, which is difficult to remove, unknown utility services and contaminated ground.
The council said that the busway team is "continually monitoring project costs to ensure best value for money" and still believes that the busway will be delivered within the budget.
Mr Garrett, the leader of the council's Conservative group disagreed, and said: "We all know that there isn't the finance available now that there used to be years ago.
"To embark on a project which could now lead us into financial ruin, to me it is unthinkable."
Dunstable Conservative councillor Nigel Young, from Central Bedfordshire Council, which is Conservative-run, said the overall scheme costs are "generally as expected".
"We are firmly focused on value for money and are working closely with Luton Borough Council to deliver the scheme within budget," he said.

In his twenties, Adrian started touring Europe, performing for dignitaries and royalty, enjoying the freedom to journey outside of Romania which was not out there to the proletariat lots. Nevertheless, the get together bureacrats ensured his faithful return home behind the iron curtain by by no means permitting his young spouse and newborn son to journey with him. As the Ceacescu reign of terror turned more and more ruthless towards its residents, Adrian was in a position to secretly purchase fake visas enabling him to spirit his young family in another country.
