Unless otherwise noted, all chemicals come packed in a twist-tied plastic bag in a sealed, reusable plastic tub. Some, very light-weight, high-volume chemicals (like air float charcoal, lampblack, and Cab-O-Sil) are packed in boxes instead of tubs. Each container is labeled and contains a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for that chemical. The chemicals we supply are generally technical grade, sometimes better. Technical grade is generally defined as "chemicals of reasonable purity".

Seth Dixon's curator insight, September 16, 3:32 PM
This is a good video to explain globalization (although this is my personal favorite), to see that it not just an economic force, but one that touches just about every facet of modern life.
Questions to ponder: What are the driving forces behind globalization? What areas are most impacted by globalization? How does globalization benefit some, and adversely impact others? Why?
Tags: globalization, economic, industry, NGOs, political, scale, unit 6 industry.
Seth Dixon's curator insight, September 8, 12:39 AM
The first reaction might be to blame partisan redistricting (a.k.a. gerrymandering) for the the political gridlock between the presidential results and House of Representatives. Gerrymandering does play a role, but the spatial concentrations and distributions of voting constituencies explain why the Democrats have recently won the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 presidential elections, but can't control the House of Representatives. Metro areas are highly left-leaning, currently creating a national majority for Democrats, but that high concentration is a drawback when trying to win a majority of the seats in the House. This is a good article as a primer for electoral geography.

David R. Perry's curator insight, September 11, 9:41 PM
History does not always remember all it should.
Wilmine Merlain's curator insight, October 6, 3:25 PM
When you hear of a European explorer exploring a land outside of Europe, one automatically thinks of an explorer bringing in captured Africans into the New World. What Alexander von Humboldt did was establish a new way at looking at our environment from climate temperature to discovering a cure for malaria with the locals living in the Amazon.
Truthbehere2's curator insight, October 17, 10:30 AM
I think I might as well buy some land and plant my own huge garden for this crap coming up and have a fence around my yard too
Linda Denty's curator insight, August 5, 6:42 PM
As Seth Dixson says, maps only tell a part of a story, but this may assist as part of an overall understanding of the history of the area.
Ruth Reynolds's curator insight, August 5, 8:10 PM
Some of the histories in maps is helpful in realising the complexities of the issues.
Shanelle Zaino's curator insight, October 22, 3:10 PM
With the increasing amount of information online it can be misleading at times. I do believe this is a useful collection of maps however I feel people looking at it might get trapped in a pitfall. After looking at these 40 maps a person could feel that this is all there is to know about this subject. Yes it is informative to have this information together but it should just be the start of the conversation not the end. So often we want quick google searches with definite answers,
when some topics require a lot of research from different sources. The reader needs to make up their own pool of knowledge.
Seth Dixon's curator insight, September 11, 2:50 PM
This issue reverberates on many different scales. As the video embedded in this article demonstrates, Scotland's choice on September 18th would obviously impact the local region as some seek to use Scottish history as a rationale to reshape the current political and cultural identity of the region. Some of the votes are already in and Scottish independence would not only have the potential to reshape the UK and EU, but it could also add some fervor to the various other separatist movements around the world, such as Catalonia.

Barbara Goebel's curator insight, September 13, 12:00 PM
Compare and contrast Scotland's bid for independence with events leading to American independence. How does a culture decide to change its political geography?
Jamie Strickland's curator insight, September 9, 2:28 PM

Is Twitter lazy or just blind: Making a play for messaging supremacy?
Originally posted on Uncrunched:
The valuations of messaging apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat and others are, obviously, stunning.
Twitter is our de facto identifier now (think of all the times you see Twitter handles on TV news and other media). Not Facebook, and certainly not Google.
Allowing proper private communication among users is an obvious easy win. And yet Twitter has never really cared about private messaging. Direct messaging is a long neglected product, and Twitter doesn't seem to care much about it.
I wonder if Twitter execs regret not paying more attention to private messaging, and if they occasionally fantasize about the extra tens of billions of dollars they might have added to their market cap if they had done so.
It's not too late.

Facebook announced a new way for people to log in to apps "anonymously" today. You still log into the (third party) app using your Facebook credentials, but Facebook sends absolutely no information about you at all to the app.
Read all the coverage about it on TechMeme. The tech press is impressed, even to to point of wondering if there's a catch.
I don't know the details, such as if this is something all apps have to implement if they want Facebook login, or if developers can opt not to offer it while still using the "normal" FB login.
But it doesn't really matter. Facebook is addressing a strong desire for privacy by its users.
Distill that even further and it comes down to this – Facebook is treating its users, at least in this case, like its customers.

The finished product from my converging media project!
It is no oscar winner but personally I'm really proud. It is my first ever moving image piece that I have filmed and edited completely by myself, never mind one that I got the chance to direct completely from my own imagination.
If I had come to the idea sooner and had a little more time I would have enjoyed making this a lot stronger but you can only do so much in two weeks and considering, I think it's well done.
I am definitely more open-minded towards using moving image in my future projects but I realise I have a lot to learn so if any of you can see room for improvement I'd really appreciate any advice and criticism.

Technical editing by Alison Green.
Please note: This is the full version of Moscato, with complete instructions in 12 sizes. It also includes a "recipe" for making Moscato with CustomFit for completeness, but a CustomFit purchase is not necessary.
A CustomFit-ONLY recipe for Moscato is available in the "Moscato CustomFit Recipe ONLY" ebook in my Ravelry pattern shop. Full patterns and recipes break down like this:
- For a traditional pattern in 12 sizes (like all of the other patterns released before CustomFit), purchase the full Moscato for $7.00 and knit / modify happily ever after.
- If you want to create Moscato with CustomFit, purchase the Recipe ONLY e-book for $2.50. That PDF will give you instructions on using the CustomFit site (https://customfit.makewearlove.com) to achieve a sweater like Moscato, but in your size and gauge (requires additional CustomFit pattern purchase). To learn more about CustomFit, visit customfit.makewearlove.com
Moscato is a sweet, simple-looking pullover with some fun tailored touches. The wide neckline is slightly draped, and the hem of the sweater, sleeves, and shoulders are all trimmed with fun button accents.
Simple Garter Stitch trims the edges of this pullover, tabbed on the front and sleeves to show off your favorite buttons and add some interest to the classic shape. It is knit in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The button tabs on the sleeves and front hem are created by casting on two pieces separately, and then joining them in the Stockinette portion.
Sweet Georgia's Merino Silk Fine is an incredible yarn with a soft hand, a slight sheen, and a fluid drape. It's just the right choice for such a special sweater. Should you choose to substitute yarn, you should pick something equally fluid to ensure the neckline folds appropriately. You'll need approximately 735 (832, 891, 977, 1060, 1153, 1226, 1325, 1423, 1529, 1637, 1804) yds/672 (760, 814, 892, 968, 1053, 1120, 1210, 1300, 1396, 1495, 1647) m.
Moscato offers great options for all body types. As written, the wide neckline, combined with the wide, eye-catching hem treatment make a proportional figure shine. The buttoned elbow-length sleeves make the most of your curves by drawing the eye to the waist. Top-heavy shapes might consider lengthening both the sweater and the sleeves; bottom-heavy shapes might consider shortening the sweater slightly or working a plain Garter Stitch hem.
Vertical darts enable easy customization to fit your needs. Should you desire less waist shaping than specified, either omit the shaping rows entirely, or omit/reduce only the shaping on the front of the sweater. Bustier women can work more increases on the front of the sweater, and not in the back. Extra stitches should be decreased into the neckline.
As with all patterns, compare the schematic against your own measurements and make alterations as necessary.

A Talent for Math: Why Honor Societies Matter
- Thursday, October 15, 2009
Wow—when I decided to teach my boys at home, I didn't know I was signing up to be the guidance counselor too! That was my first reaction when faced with the prospect of getting my oldest child into college.
Getting into college can be a challenge for students in traditional schools, and it's no different for homeschooled students—and the parents who help them! Our students need to take the same entrance tests and prove their course work was qualified, and like the students from traditional schools, they must try to make their applications stand out from the rest.
Susan Hare and Sheri Gervais are two ordinary moms who decided to help talented home-educated students excel in the world of college admissions. They founded Mu Eta Sigma as the first math honor society exclusively for homeschooled students. In this article, we will get to know these two moms and in the process learn how to make our students' applications shine in the college admissions process.
Leslie: First of all, tell us a little about yourselves.
Susan: I have been married for 22 years and have three children, two girls and a boy. We have been homeschooling for 11 years, since the beginning of our children's education. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and worked in banking for eight years before having children.
Sheri: I also have three children, and I began homeschooling in 1995. I have engineering and math education degrees, so together Susan and I bring a unique perspective to the formation of a math honor society. My oldest daughter is a freshman at Texas A&M. My youngest is a freshman in high school and is the one who is mathematically inclined.
How did Mu Eta Sigma begin?
Susan: It all began when I tried to get my daughter into Mu Alpha Theta, a national math honor society. I wanted to build her transcript and justify her academic qualifications.
Sheri: My oldest child had taken dual enrollment courses and was invited to join Mu Alpha Theta, which is an honor society for two-year college students and high schools. We tried to start a homeschool chapter of MAT, but couldn't. Through this experience and Susan's, we discovered a need for a math honor society for homeschooled students and decided to work on filling that need.
Why a math society specifically for home-educated students?
Susan: There is a homeschool honor society for general education, but none specifically for math. When I needed to put together a transcript with credentials and wanted my daughter to be recognized for her mathematical merit, I contacted Mu Alpha Theta, but they responded that they did not have the ability to recognize homeschool students. That's one thing that prompted us to begin Mu Eta Sigma. I wanted to provide the same opportunities for homeschool students that other students have.
What are the requirements for membership?
Susan: Mu Eta Sigma is for home-educated 9-12th graders. They must achieve required scores on the PSAT, SAT, IOWA, or ACT. Colleges can go directly to the society Web site and see the requirements.
Sheri: We are not trying to be elitist, but we want to provide an alternative way for mathematically talented, home-educated students to be part of an honor society. Another requirement is that the students must do ten hours of community service per year. We have found that colleges like this because it shows leadership. We recommend that the student try to make some of those hours math-based. We also require community service because we want to represent the homeschool community well.
How did you come up with these requirements?
Susan: Sheri did a lot of research to establish test score criteria. We researched other math honor societies, contacted HSLDA, and compared test scores.

As they continue to pitch the SEC Network to the major cable and satellite providers, ESPN and the SEC announced on Thursday that the brand-new network will be broadcasting a game from each of its 14 teams during the first four weeks of the season.
As part of that announcement, the Alabama vs. FAU game scheduled for Saturday, September 6th will kickoff at noon ET on the SEC Network. The game is scheduled alongside the Arkansas State at Tennessee game in the same time slot, but the release states that an overflow channel will be made available on that Saturday. Alabama's opening season game has already been slated for at 2:30pm kickoff on either ABC or ESPN2.
Over half of those schools will open their seasons on the SEC Network. Three SEC conference games will be broadcast as well: Texas A&M at South Carolina (Thursday, August 28th, 6pm), Arkansas at Auburn (Saturday, August 30th, 4pm) and Kentucky at Florida (Saturday, September 13th, 7:30pm).
A rare Sunday night game for the network will be on the network as well, with Utah State and Tennessee playing at 7pm on Sunday, August 31st.
"The fact that the SEC Network will originate a game from every stadium in the conference in the first four weeks of the 2014 season is testament to the depth of coverage fans can expect from the network," Mike Slive, SEC commissioner, said in a release. "In just the first month of the season, fans that get the network will enjoy all the passion and pageantry of SEC football from 14 of the greatest venues in the world of sports. This is what the SEC Network is all about."
Announcer assignments were not locked yet for the games, although the Network has pulled a lot of major names like Tim Tebow and Greg McElroy as analysts, while major voices in college football commentary were selected like Brent Musburger to spearhead the calls of the game.
It was also announced late Wednesday that Google Fiber, which is currently only available in Provo, UT and Kansas City, KS, will also be carrying the network on it's August 14, 2014 debut.
The move by the SEC and ESPN to schedule all the teams is a major strategic move, as ESPN has experienced some pushback from providers like DirecTV and cable providers. So far, AT&T U-Verse, Google Fiber and Dish Network have jumped on board early. The fact that all of the teams will have a game on the network, it will mobilize the fans on each school to really push for the SEC Network on their cable or satellite provider. If fans miss their team's game because their provider doesn't carry it, it will spark an outrage, especially in the three in-conference games.
The full release from the SEC and a list of the announced games are available here on the SEC's website.

as the visual icons originally studied by Sperling (1960), which operate fairly automatically and decay autonomously within several hundred milliseconds, and a variety of more central memories, including so-called "working memories," that are used to carry out all the operations of cognition (e.g., Baddeley, 1986, 1990). Short-term memories allow control processes to be carried out because they hold information for temporary periods of, say, up to a minute or more. The long-term memory system can be divided by function or other properties into separate systems, but this is a matter of current research. The operations associated with memory include those of rehearsal and coding used to store new information in long-term memory; operations that govern the activities of the cognitive system, such as decisions; and operations used to retrieve information from long-term memory. Almost all simulations incorporate such structural features.
Different aspects of memory and learning are important for simulations aimed at different purposes. For example, a simulation of a tank gunner might rely heavily on short-term vision, short-term working memory, and whatever task procedures have been learned previously and stored in long-term memory. Retrieval from visual short-term memory may be important, for example, when the positions of recent targets and terrain features must be retained during a series of maneuvers that move these targets and features out of direct vision. For a gunner in a short firefight, learning during the task may be relatively unimportant since the gunner will rely primarily on previously trained procedures and strategies or decisions made in working memory. In addition, the process of accessing learned procedures in long-term memory may not need to be modeled, only assumed (since this process may be well learned and automatic). On the other hand, strategic decision making by a battle commander will involve working memory and the processes of long-term retrieval. Sensory memories and the retention role of short-term memories may be relatively unimportant. Finally, in the course of a war lasting several years, learning will probably be critical for models of personnel at all levels of command.
It should be obvious that the process of learning itself is critical whenever training and the development of skill and expertise are at issue. The nature of storage, the best means of retrieval, ways to utilize error correction, and best modes of practice are all essential components of a simulation of the learner. It is well known that the largest effects on performance observed in the literature are associated with the development of expertise (see also Chapter 4). The development of skills can proceed quite quickly in short periods of time, but typically continues for long periods. Given motivation and the right kinds of practice, development of the highest levels of skill in a task may require 3 to 4 hours a day of rigorous practice for a period of 10 years (e.g., Ericcson et al., 1993; Ericcson, 1996). Although the nature of the learning process in such situations is not yet understood in detail, there is much empirical evidence (starting with Chase and Simon, 1973) demonstrating that a critical component of the learning of a skill is the storage of massive amounts of information about particular situations and

What is it that is happy about endings? How can you be happy when it is the end? It's plain and simple: you'd be dead. It won't be sad. It won't be happy. It won't be anything. You will feel nothing.
Pag nariyan, dedma. Pag wala na, nganga.
the deeper the night becomes,
the harder it is to trust the mirrors.
some nights, I race back
to catch my reflection in the act;
half expectant that it will blink
or scowl or reach for my head.
But I always see the same girl,
with the same features as me,
that smiles when I do
and I can never catch blink;
I see the same girl that is me
but not quite,
and that scares me even more.

Just like that, Mathew Dumba goes from the press box to a potentially increased role for the Minnesota Wild. Jonas Brodin has a broken cheekbone, and will be out for the foreseeable future. That leaves a ton of minutes to fill on the blue line for the Wild moving forward. While an exact timetable for Brodin's return isn't known, it'll likely be at least a few weeks.
Jonas Brodin suffered broken cheekbone last night and is out indefinitely. Timetable for his return will be announced once it is determined
— Minnesota Wild (@mnwild) October 23, 2013
Brodin was a revelation for Minnesota last season. He took a spot alongside Ryan Suter on the top pairing and never looked back. He garnered some quiet consideration for the Calder Trophy after making the toughest position in the sport look easy as a rookie.
The injured defender was averaging more than 25 minutes of ice time a night (not including the 71 seconds he played before the injury in Nashville against the Predators) and was seeing an increased role on the power play as well. That's a lot of extra time for everyone currently healthy and on the blue line for the Wild.
The deal looks especially sweet for the highly-touted Dumba though.
With Minnesota sporting so many outstanding options on defense, the 19 year-old Dumba has seen a consistently reduced role so far this season. It's very likely that he'll draw back into the lineup now, and that he'll see an increase over the 12 minutes and change he'd been playing prior to Brodin's injury.

Make no mistake. Even though most of the starters from the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team will be returning in 2014-15, nothing will be given to them. They will still have to re-earn their starting jobs and the center position battle will be perhaps the best battle of the summer and early fall. Karl Towns Jr will join the battle of returning players and this should be the best competition at the center in the nation.
Kentucky: Dakari Johnson, Willie Cauley-Stein, Marcus Lee versus Karl Towns Jr.: Yes, there are veterans — three of them — returning against the young pup. Calipari could figure out how to play all four of them at some point during a game. Johnson, Cauley-Stein and Lee all had their moments in which they shined. Johnson has the best chance to be in the low post, Cauley-Stein can be the top shot-blocker and Lee is a bit of an X factor among the group. Now, enter the newcomer. Towns can do a bit of everything, but he doesn't need to be the primary option. That's key for him and rare for a high-profile Kentucky player. This isn't even mentioning Trey Lyles and Alex Poythress, who are more positioned to play smaller forward positions next to the bigs. This team is loaded.
It should be obvious by now that John Calipari is not walking through that door for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Julius Randle just may be. The Cavs may have had their hopes set on Calipari, but Randle is a very real possibility and he has talked with the Cavs in anticipation of the draft.
"I met with Cleveland," Randle said at the 2014 NBA Draft Combine. "It went really well. They have a great relationship with my coaching staff as well. It was a good interview for me."
Randle said Calipari never told him what he could expect from the Cavs.
"Coach never talked to me about any specific team," said the 6-foot-9 Randle, who averaged 15 points and 10.4 rebounds in his one season at Kentucky. "We always just talked about me being ready for the next level and what I could do to be ready when I get there."
Calipari has a long list of first-round draft picks, including No. 1s in Derrick Rose, John Wall and Anthony Davis. But Randle says he doesn't use that in any recruiting pitch.
"He's straight up when he recruits you that it's going to be the hardest thing you've ever done, but he'll get you to where you want to get but he's not promising you anything," Randle said. "You're going to have to work for what you want."
Why are Calipari's players so NBA-ready?
"Coach at the end of the day is going to do what's right for you," Randle said. "He's going to have your back. He's going to put you in the right situations to where you can shine."
After a couple of rough games in China with the Sports Reach tour, Dominique Hawkins finally had a huge game. Hawkins scored 27 points on 10-15 shooting as the Sports Reach team earned a 87-75 win over Lithuania. Hawkins also grabbed 5 boards and 2 assists. It's good to see Hawkins finally break out and have a solid game.
Sports Reach got another win yesterday, this time over Jiniang 95-81. Hawkins scored 6 points and 8 rebounds and shot 1-7 from the field.
