Unlocking Marketing Data Analytics
If content is king, then data is the ace in your pocket.
And it's no wonder: As more marketing efforts continue to live in the digital sphere, savvy marketers need to identify their key performance indicators (KPIs) and synthesize the resulting data to see if their efforts were a big-win or crash-and-burn.
Strategic marketer Stephan Sorger—an honored instructor for the past 13 years—is on the bleeding-edge of marketing analytics. Nearly 10 years ago, Sorger developed the first marketing analytics course on the West Coast at UC Berkeley Extension. He continues to adapt his courses to reflect new requirements in the workplace so that his students are best-prepared to succeed. "We teach the technologies that companies are looking for—R, Tableau and SQL," Sorger says. "One of the growing trends is toward open-source software, so we really emphasize that. Companies are looking for the next level of analytics, such as market sizing—whether the market is growing or shrinking."

The Hybrid Life of a Business Analyst and Project Manager
For 22 years, Vincent Scarlata had a successful career as a business analyst at a San Francisco financial services firm. But when a sudden staff reduction meant that he also had to assume the responsibilities of a project manager, Scarlata realized that he would need in-depth training to take on both roles effectively. "I wanted to learn the right way of doing things instead of just dealing with challenges as they came up, so I started taking classes at Extension," says Scarlata. "I liked that the classes were longer, go in depth and had different delivery options. You learn a good amount of detail that you can actually put into use right away at the office."
Scarlata recently sat down with us at our San Francisco campus to talk about his work three years after graduating. Read on.

The Infects (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
A feast for the brain, this gory and genuinely hilarious take on zombie culture simultaneously skewers, pays tribute to, and elevates the horror genre.
Seventeen-year-old Nero is stuck in the wilderness with a bunch of other juvenile delinquents on an "Inward Trek." As if that weren t bad enough, his counselors have turned into flesh-eating maniacs overnight and are now chowing down on his fellow miscreants. As in any classic monster flick worth its salted popcorn, plentiful carnage sends survivors rabbiting into the woods while the mindless horde of "infects" shambles, moans, and drools behind. Of course, these kids have seen zombie movies. They generate "Zombie Rules" almost as quickly as cheeky remarks, but attitude alone can t keep the biters back. Serving up a cast of irreverent, slightly twisted characters, an unexpected villain, and an ending you won t see coming, here is a savvy tale that that's a delight to read whether you re a rabid zombie fan or freshly bitten and an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us.
About the Author
Sean Beaudoin is the author of five young adult novels, including "The Infects "and" Wise Young Fool." He is also a founding editor of the arts and culture website TheWeeklings.com, for which he has written more than fifty essays. Sean s stories and articles have appeared in numerous publications, including the "Onion, "the" San Francisco Chronicle, " and "Salon." He lives in Seattle with his wife and daughter.
Praise For…
Beaudoin's blackly comedic tale takes zombie lore to new territory—not only with the outbreak's unusual point of origin but also with its consideration of the next phase of human evolution. An utterly original voice, plenty of sly pop-culture references, and a twist ending make for a satisfying read.
—The Horn Book
It is the zombie novel only Beaudoin could write, an allusive horror novel that engages in philosophical, social, and humanist critique while providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
Horror goes hand in hand with dark comedy in this wickedly unpredictable adventure, as Beaudoin simultaneously skewers the fast food industry and familiar zombie tropes.
—Publishers Weekly

The production of cores comprising cellulosic fibrous sheets and a thermosetting resin composition useful in supporting decorative layers in the formation of high pressure decorative thermoset laminates is well known. Conventionally, said cores comprise a plurality, i.e. about 2-10, of paper core sheets impregnated with a liquid thermosetting resin composition, said core sheets being prepared by treating a web of paper, prepared by a wet-laying process, with a solution or dispersion of a thermosetting resin composition in a volatile solvent, drying said treated web to reduce the volatile matter content to a desired level and cutting said treated, dried paper web into sheets of the required dimensions.
In order to provide satisfactory handling and usage properties in said laminates, they are conventionally produced in thicknesses of from about 0.5 mm to about 2.0 mm, this thickness range being achieved primarily by superimposing the required number of said paper core sheets. While it is recognized that it would clearly be advantageous to use a single sheet to provide the core for the laminate, problems of manufacture and processing associated with the production and resin-impregnation of wet-laid paper sheets having a basis weight significantly greater than about 250 gsm (grams per square meter) and a thickness of greater than about 0.20 mm has prevented their production.
Further, for environmental and energy conservation reasons, it is considered desirable to obviate the drying stage necessary with conventionally produced resin composition treated paper cores. Attempts made in the past to avoid this drying step by providing a wet-laid paper containing a thermo-setting resin composition in solid particulate form as a sheet of the laminate core and formed during the paper making process from an aqueous slurry comprising the paper fibers and the particulate resin failed because of problems arising from the propensity of the liquid phase to convey the resin particles through the forming wire.
Wet-laid papers, while generally producing high pressure decorative laminates of excellent properties, have a propensity to cause stress-cracking of laminates under conditions of low relative humidity. Therefore, conventional high pressure decorative laminates, after a period of time well within their expected life-times, oftimes undergo a marked deterioration in their aesthetic appearance and utility. Conventional high pressure decorative laminates therefore have not always proven useful in areas where low relative humidity is a prevalent condition especially where the laminates are first subjected to modification such as by notching, cutting or other treatment whereby sharp corners are cut into their cross-section.
Wet-laid core papers also exhibit a variation in at least some of their physical properties depending upon whether the properties are measured in the direction of travel of the machine wire upon which the paper was formed, or transversely of it. This variation in properties is due to the non-random orientation of the fibers in the paper due to the alignment of fiber caused by the flow of the liquid phase onto and through the wire and by surface tension effects. Laminates produced from cores comprising said wet-laid papers also exhibit this direction dependent variation in at least some of their physical properties and although this is not generally disadvantageous, there are some applications where a laminate exhibiting less variation in physical properties according to the direction of measurement is preferred.
Recently, it has been found that high pressure decorative laminate produced from a thermosetting resin containing fibrous cellulosic core wherein the disadvantages of laminates made by conventional processes are overcome or diminished may be produced by using, as the core, an air-laid web comprising both cellulosic fibers and a thermosetting resin.
High pressure decorative laminates made from air-laid webs exhibit a toughness superior to laminates which contain, as their core, a plurality of thermosetting resin impregnated Kraft paper sheets. This toughness is evidenced by the laminates' increased resistance to stress-cracking. Furthermore, such high pressure decorative laminates containing an air-laid core also exhibit substantially equivalent uniform strength and dimensional properties regardless of the machine direction from which the measurement is taken.
Air-laid fibrous webs are prepared by disintegrating fibrous, cellulosic material into its component fibers, transporting the fibers to a foraminous moving web-forming surface and depositing the fibers thereon to form a layer with the aid of suction applied to the under side of the web-forming surface. The fibrous, cellulosic material is disintegrated into its component fibers by a machine such as a hammermill or disc refiner and the individual fibers are transported to the forming surface in an air-stream. Binder material is applied to or admixed with the fibers as a particulate solid or as a liquid spray and the web deposited therefrom is then consolidated between nip rollers. When the binder is added as a solid to the air-fiber stream, it may be introduced into the hammermill or thereafter, but before deposition on the forming surface. Additionally, when the binder is used as a spray, the sprayed fibers may thereafter be dried and introduced as such into the forming apparatus.
A known apparatus for forming substrates by air-laying cellulosic fibers comprises: (i) an air-swept hammermill wherein cellulosic material is defibrated into its component fibers in an air-stream, (ii) ducting whereby the fiber containing air-stream is conveyed to a distributor, (iii) a distributor such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,581,706, comprising a housing having a perforated planar bottom wall and side walls, one or more impellers mounted to rotate about an axis substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall a short distance above and in non-contacting relationship with the upper surface of said bottom wall, inlet means for the fiber containing air-stream to enter the distributor, outlet means whereby fibrous material may be recycled to the hammermill and, optionally, a plate member located above said impellers and extending inwardly from the side walls of the housing so as to form a partition between a lower part and an upper part of said housing, said distributor being positioned so that the bottom wall is cooperatively located above the upper surface of (iv) a moving, foraminous belt upon the upper surface of which the cellulosic fibers are deposited to form a layer with the aid of (v) means for applying suction to the under surface of said belt and (vi) means for compacting the so-deposited cellulosic fiber layer, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,698,271 and 4,014,635.
When apparatus of the type described above is used in the production of an air-laid cellulosic fibrous layer, there are a large number of variables that must be controlled in order that optimum formation of the layer occurs. These variables include the input rate of the cellulosic material to the hammermill, the speed of rotation of the impellers and speed of travel of the belt and the degree of compaction applied. When preparing a core adapted for use in the production of high pressure decorative laminates, the thermosetting resin must be uniformly distributed throughout the deposited layer and there must be sufficient of the resin present to provide the desired properties to the heat and pressure consolidated laminate. In the production of such high pressure decorative laminates, the resin content of the core lies in the range from about 10% to about 40% by weight, preferably from about 25% to about 30%, based on the total weight of the core.
Additionally, for the formation of an air-laid core having the desired uniformity of composition and basis weight and comprising fibers and thermosetting resin, such as by means of an apparatus of the type described above, it is preferable to operate under conditions such that the air has a relative humidity within the range of about 40% to 80%, preferably about 50% to 70% in order to prevent deposition problems which may arise in that at too high a humidity, clogging of the ducting and screen may occur, while at too low a humidity, problems may arise due to static electrical charges on the fibers.
In the production of decorative laminates from either wet-laid or air-laid cores various forms of waste material are produced in the finishing operations necessary in connection with manufacture of these decorative laminates. One of the operations performed upon the finished laminates i.e. those recovered upon removal thereof from the laminating press, consists of trimming all the peripheral edges of each laminate in order to remove "flash", i.e. any portion of the laminate periphery which is not fully consolidated during lamination. This material is very brittle and detracts from the overall appearance of the laminate. A second operation performed upon the finished laminates is the sanding of the back or reverse side thereof so as to provide a good surface for bonding of the laminate to a suitable underlayment via the use of a contact adhesive. Also, the finished laminates are oftimes cut to size in order to supply the ultimate consumer with a variety of lengths and widths for fabrication into commercial articles, resulting in cutting dust.
The waste or offal produced by the trimming, sanding and cutting operations is a major concern to laminate manufacturers because during these finishing operations as much as 14% of the weight of the final laminate may be removed. Thus, the waste created can cause significant handling, disposal, environmental and energy concerns.
Additionally, other forms of waste accrue. That is to say, during the course of producing the components which go into the ultimate laminates i.e. the overlay sheets, the decor sheets etc., objectionable or sub-quality material may be produced which is not suitable for producing a quality laminate and therefore must be discarded. Additionally, other waste material may be generated during the laminating operation per se in the form of imperfect laminates, i.e. laminates with physical deficiencies, surface imperfections and the like.
If a use for these above-described waste materials could be found such that even a portion of the material usually discarded, burned or otherwise disposed of could be reused, a long felt need in the laminating industry would be solved.
It has now been found that high pressure decorative laminates produced from a thermosetting resin containing fibrous cellulosic core may be produced by using as the core, an air-laid web comprising (a) cellulosic fibers, (b) from about 1% to about 20% of a pulverized filler and (c) a thermosetting resin.
The novel high pressure decorative laminates of the present invention exhibit a toughness superior to laminates produced conventionally which contain, as their core, a plurality of thermosetting resin impregnated kraft paper sheets and also substantially retain the uniform strength and dimensional properties of laminates produced from air-laid webs which do not contain the recycled waste filler.
Furthermore, the disclosed method of recycling the plant waste materials into a useful, viable laminate core component, reduces the need for the disposal of these materials by other more costly means. Thus, the method provides for a significant pollution control in the making of laminates.
According to the instant invention, there is provided a heat and pressure consolidated decorative laminate comprising, in superimposed relationship:
(I) a thermoset resin containing, monostichous core of air-laid, randomly oriented, substantially non-hydrogen bonded cellulosic fibers having an average length of 0.5 to 2.5 mm, said core being from about 0.25 mm to about 2.25 mm thick, containing from about 10% to about 40% by weight, of resin, based on the total weight of fiber and resin in I and from about 1% to about 20%, by weight, based on the total weight of said fiber, of a pulverized filler;
(II) a thermoset resin impregnated cellulosic decor sheet and optionally,
(III) a thermoset resin impregnated alpha-cellulosic overlay sheet.
In accordance with the instant invention, the method for preparing the thermoset, high pressure, decorative laminates comprises:
(1) forming a laminate assembly comprising, in super-imposed relationship:
(A) a monostichous, air-laid core of randomly oriented fibers of 0.5-2.5 mm average length, containing from about 10-40% of a thermosetting resin and from about 1% to about 20%, by weight, same basis as above, of a pulverized filler and of sufficient thickness to provide, when consolidated, from about 0.25 mm to about 2.25 mm in thickness to the resultant laminate,
(B) a thermosetting resin impregnated decor sheet and optionally,
(C) a thermosetting resin impregnated alpha-cellulose overlay sheet; and
(2) consolidating said assembly to a unitary thermoset laminate structure by the application of heat and pressure thereto.
The thermosetting resin containing monostichous core of randomly oriented, substantially non-hydrogen bonded cellulosic fibers is formed using an apparatus of the type described above, by:
(a) feeding fibrous, cellulosic material to a defibrator such as an air-swept hammermill and defibrating the material therein to provide cellulosic fibers of an average length of about 0.5 to 2.5, preferably about 0.75 to 2.0 mm, in the presence of humidified air, the relative humidity of which ranges from about 40% to about 80% to thereby form an air-fiber stream;
(b) incorporating into said air-fiber stream from about 10% to about 40% by weight, of a thermosetting resin, said weight being based on the total weight of resin and fiber, and from about 1 to about 20% by weight, based on the total weight of fiber, of a pulverized filler, to thereby form an air-fiber-filler-resin stream;
(c) passing said air-fiber-filler-resin stream to a distributor;
(d) agitating said stream within the distributor by impeller means;
(e) causing said stream to pass through the perforated bottom wall of the distributor;
(f) depositing the fibers, filler and resin onto a moving foraminous belt to form a layer having a thickness of from about 5 mm to about 100 mm, preferably about 10 mm to 80 mm by the operation of the suction means, and
(g) pre-consolidating the deposited layer to a thickness of from about 0.5 mm to about 10.0 mm, preferably about 1.0 to about 8.0 mm.
The fibrous, cellulosic material employed may comprise any material such as chemical, semi-chemical or mechanical paper pulp, cardboard and waste paper and the like, provided that after defibration in the hammermill it comprises fibers of an average length of 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. Although fibers produced from wood are preferred, fibers produced from straw, grass, bagasse, cotton or synthetics, may be used alone or in admixture. If the cellulosic material feed is in bulk form, then it is preferred to use a balebreaker or similar equipment to partially disintegrate the material before it is fed to the hammermill.
The air fed to the hammermill may be humidified to the above-specified extent either internally or externally of the core forming apparatus. Thus, the apparatus may be situated in a room, the air in which is humidified to the required degree and drawn through the apparatus at the required rate. Alternatively, the air may be drawn into the apparatus and there humidified such as by steam or water spray means to the required level. It is preferred to humidify the air internally of the apparatus as such allows for quicker adjustment of the humidity than is possible with external humidification and further allows the room air to be controlled independently so as to provide more amenable working conditions.
The said thermosetting resin may comprise any thermosetting resin which provides the required properties in the core prepared therefrom. The resin may comprise, for example, a phenol-formaldehyde resin, a melamine-formaldehyde resin, a polyester resin or an epoxy resin and said resins may comprise known extenders, if desired. It is preferred to employ a particulate, thermosetting resin and even more preferred to employ a phenol-formaldehyde resin. Such a particulate resin may be prepared by forming a solid, thermosetting resin in bulk or lump form and then grinding or crushing to provide the desired particle size or, more preferably, it may be prepared in particulate form by known emulsion or suspension condensation techniques. The mean particle size of the thermosetting resin should range from about 20 microns to about 200 microns, preferably from about 50 to 150 microns.
The filler material used herein may comprise any of the waste or offal materials discussed above associated with the production of decorative laminates. Thus, the filler material may constitute laminate sanding dust, laminate cutting dust, laminate edge trimmings (flash), laminate pieces, resin impregnated papers and the like. The filler must be of such a size that it will not create a distorted surface in the laminate produced from the core containing the same. It is essential that the particle size thereof accordingly be adjusted such as by pulverization to no larger than about 200 microns with from about 50 to 150 microns being preferred.
The thermosetting resin and the pulverized filler may be incorporated into the air-fiber stream by any suitable means and at any suitable position. Thus the resin and/or filler may be introduced into the hammermill, into the ducting between the hammermill and the distributor, or into the distributor. Suitable introductory means are known and include spraying means, gate-valves, vibratory- and screw-feeders etc. It is preferred to employ screw feeders which employ a positive feed principle and can be controlled more precisely to give the feed rate of resin and/or filler desired.
The air-laid layer may be pre-consolidated between platens or nip rollers as may be most convenient and the pre-consolidating means may be heated or cooled, if desired. If they are heated, then the pre-consolidation must be such that while there may be some conversion of a minor amount of the thermosetting resin to the thermoset form, a substantial proportion of the resin is still in the thermosetting form after the pre-consolidation operation. The air-laid layer, before pre-consolidation, must be of such a thickness that after heat and pressure consolidation during laminate formation the core of said laminate will range in thickness from about 0.25 mm to about 2.25 mm. Air-laid webs deposited on the belt, which may be constructed of metal or other material such as plastic, cloth etc., are deposited at the pre-consolidation thickness specified above.
The thermosetting resin impregnated decor sheet employed in the present invention may comprise any of those decor sheets known to provide the decorative surface on a decorative laminate and includes decorative woven or non-woven fabrics, colored or printed paper sheets, wood veneer, cork, and the like. The resin may be of any of those known for use in the production of thermoset laminates but it is preferred to use those `noble` thermosetting resins by which is meant those resins which show no appreciable darkening or color change on conversion from the thermosetting to the thermoset state.
When a decorative woven or non-woven fabric sheet or a printed paper sheet is employed, it is preferred to use, in addition thereto, a surfacing overlay sheet known for use in the production of conventional thermoset laminates. More especially, it is preferred to use a light weight, high quality, unfilled, alpha-cellulose paper sheet impregnated with the same kind of thermosetting resin composition as used to impregnate the decorative sheet and, still more preferably, an overlay sheet impregnated with a thermosetting melamine-formaldehyde resin may be employed.
The optional overlay sheet may comprise any of those overlay sheets known to provide a protective, abrasion-resultant surface to decorative laminates. Preferably, these overlay sheets comprise alpha-cellulose paper which is impregnated with a noble thermoset resin, preferably melamine/formaldehyde, and which become transparent upon heat and pressure consolidation of the laminate assembly.
The heat and pressure consolidation is suitably carried out using that machinery, equipment, press-plates, temperature, pressure and press-time used for preparing decorative thermo-set laminates from the conventional impregnated kraft paper core layers. Pressures ranging from about 700 to about 1400 psi and temperatures ranging from about 120� to 150� C.
The laminate assembly is consolidated by heat and pressure so that in the high pressure thermoset laminate the thickness of the air-laid substrate is reduced by a factor of about two to about ten. More especially, it is preferred to effect the heat and pressure consolidation so that in the product laminate, the substrate has a thickness of from about 0.25 mm to about 2.25 mm, as mentioned above.
Further, while it is preferred to prepare laminates comprising a single core made in accordance with the invention, a single thermosetting resin impregnated decor sheet and, optionally, a thermosetting resin impregnated alpha-cellulose overlay sheet, the invention is not so limited and also encompasses laminates comprising a core produced from more than one monostichous, non-hydrogen bonded, air-laid web, the noble thermosetting resin impregnated decor sheet and, optionally, the noble thermosetting resin impregnated overlay sheet.
The following examples are set forth for purposes of illustration only and are not to be construed as limitations on the present invention except as set forth in the appended claims. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Defibrated kraft linerboard fibers are mixed with powdered phenol/formaldehyde resin and formed onto a stationary screen with the aid of suction applied to the underside of a screen. The resultant fiber-resin layer has a thickness of 46 mm, a density of 0.035 g/c.c., a basis weight of 1600 gsm and a fiber to resin weight ratio of 3:1. The deposited fiber-resin layer is preconsolidated, at a pressure of 2300 psi, to a thickness of 2.25 mm.
After conditioning the compacted monostichous, fiber-resin core layer at 60% relative humidity for 24 hours, a decorative thermoset resinous laminate assembly is formed comprising:
(a) the above monostichous core layer,
(b) a printed decor paper impregnated with a thermosetting melamine/formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 40% and,
(c) an alpha-cellulose overlay sheet impregnated with a thermosetting melamine/formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 60%.
After positioning between separating sheets, the assembly is heat and pressure consolidated at 1400 psi and 145� C. to a unitary thermoset decorative laminate with a thickness of 1.12 mm.
Sanding dust and trim saw wastes in two particle size ranges are evaluated, a coarse material with a particle size of from 0.033" to 0.008" and a fine material with most of the material less than 0.003". The coarse materials are collected directly from sanders or trim saws. Large slabs and pieces are removed by screening through a 20 mesh per inch sieve and only the portion which passes through the sieve is used. The accepted material has the texture of coarse sand. Characteristics of the fine or pulverized filler materials are shown in Table 1.

Cores are made using normal procedures but either 5, 10, or 20% of the fiber is replaced with the respective filler material. Each core has 30% resin therein. The cores are pressed with melamine/formaldehyde resin impregnated print and trans sheets at 145� C. and 1400 psi for 20 minutes. One laminate is pressed without print and trans sheets for core machinability testing. Core only laminates are made using other available fiber sources to determine machinability between different type of fibers.
Results in Tables 2, 3 and 4 show that physical properties of the laminates with fillers are equivalent to those of the control without fillers. Water absorption and thickness swell are equivalent but dimensional change increased slightly at higher filler contents.
The addition of the coarse materials, Table 2, results in a somewhat rough appearance in the print surface if larger amounts of filler are used. The rough appearance is caused by the inability of the hard particles to compress and the resulting high pressure in these areas. No surface roughness is evident when using the rough materials at lesser amounts.
Sheet stock of melamine/formaldehyde resin impregnated decorative print and transparent overlay is disintegrated in a 140 mm hammermill. The disintegrated materials are then mixed with fiber, cores made and laminate pressed the same as for the sanding dust evaluation. At the 20% filler addition level, the quantity of resin added is reduced to compensate for the resins in the treated sheets.
When the treated print and trans are disintegrated in the hammermill, no sticking is evident within the mill. Some dusting, however, is experienced during the grinding. Table 5 shows that the physical properties of the laminates with different filler levels remain essentially unchanged. Water absorption and thickness swell decrease as the filler addition levels increase. At 20% filler addition, acceptable test levels are achieved after reductions of resin addition of 5 and 10% for print and trans addition, respectively. The difference in machinability between samples indicate that some increase in tool wear may be experienced when adding, decorative print but not by adding transparent overlay.

When the procedure of Example 3 is repeated except that a continuous commercial apparatus is employed, similar results are achieved.
The apparatus employed essentially comprises: an electrically driven, air-swept hammermill connected by suitable ducting to a distributor; screw-feed means arranged to feed particulate thermosetting resin into the ducting between the hammermill and the distributor; a distributor comprising a housing having side-walls and end-walls and a perforated planar bottom-wall and side walls, impeller means mounted to rotate about an axis substantially perpendicular to the bottom-wall a short distance above and in non-contacting relationship with the upper surface of said bottom-wall, inlet means for the fiber-containing stream, outlet means whereby fibrous materials are recycled to the hammermill, a plate member located above said impellers and extending inwardly from the side-walls so as to form a partition between the lower part and an upper part of the housing, said distributor being positioned so that the bottom-wall is located above and co-operates with a moving foraminous belt and said side-walls and end-walls being provided with means to restrict passage of air between their lower extremeties and said belt; a moving, foraminous metal mesh belt positioned above and co-operating with suction means positioned therebelow and a pair of metal compaction rollers mounted so as to act in nip relationship on said belt and a deposited layer thereon.
Soft wood sulphate kraft having a kappa number of 32 is fed to the air-swept hammermill where it is defibrated to provide cellulosic fibers having an average fiber length of about 1 mm. Air, humidified to 70% relative humidity by steam injecting means, is fed to the hammermill at a rate of 38.6 cubic meters per kilogram of fibers to produce an air-fiber stream. Solid particulate thermosetting phenolic resin having a mean particle size of about 25 microns and laminate sanding dust of less than 100 microns are incorporated by the screw-feeder means into the air-fiber stream to provide an air-fiber-filler resin stream wherein the ratio of resin to fiber was about 1 part to 3 parts, by weight. The air-fiber-filler-resin stream is then passed to the distributor, whence by action of the suction means and the impeller means, the stream is caused to pass through the perforated bottom-wall thereof and to deposit as a fiber-filler-resin layer having a basis weight of 1560 gsm a density of 0.029 g/cc and a thickness of 54 mm upon the foraminous belt which is moving at a speed of 0.8 meters/minute.
The belt and the deposited fiber-resin layer are then passed through the nip of the compaction rollers which exert thereon a line pressure of about 45 Kg/cm and preconsolidation thereof. The material emergent from the nip is separated from the belt as a thermo-setting phenolic resin containing monostichous substrate of randomly oriented substantially non-hydrogen bonded cellulosic fibers of about 3.6 mm in thickness containing 33%, by weight, of the resin.
The core formed is used to prepare a high pressure thermoset decorative laminate assembly by arranging in superimposed relationship:
(a) the monostichous substrate;
(b) a printed, paper decor sheet impregnated with a thermosetting melamine-formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 40%; and
(c) an alpha cellulose overlay sheet impregnated with a thermosetting melamine-formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 50%.
The assembly thus formed is positioned between separating sheets and then consolidated to a unitary thermoset decorative laminate 1.2 mm thick by heating at 145� C. under a pressure of 1400 psi in an hydraulic press. After cooling and removing the laminate from the press, the thermoset decorative laminate so obtained is substantially identical in appearance and properties as set forth in Example 3.
Using the apparatus of the type described in Example 39, semi-thermochemical softwood pulp is fed to the air-swept hammermill and there defibrated to an average fiber length of about 1.5 mm in the presence of a stream of humidified air at a relative humidity of about 70% flowing at a rate of 40.9 cubic meters of air per kilogram of fiber.
The resultant air-fiber stream leaving the mill is passed via suitable ducting to the distributor and a particulate thermosetting resin of mean particle size of about 20 microns and fine laminate cutting dust of 15-150 microns are incorporated into the air-fiber stream at a weight ratio of fiber to resin of 2.5 to 1 by means of a screw feeder adapted to feed material into the ducting. The air-fiber-filler resin is agitated in the distributor by the impeller means and caused by the suction means to pass through the perforated bottom-wall and deposit, upon the foraminous belt moving at 0.8 m/minute a fiber-filler- resin layer having a basis weight of 1260 gsm, a thickness of about 30 mm and a density of 0.042 g/cc. The deposited layer and the moving belt are then passed through the nip of the compaction rollers operating at a line loading of 45 Kg/cm and the deposited layer emerging from the nip is separated from the wire to provide a thermo-setting resin containing monostichous substrate of randomly oriented, substantially non-hydrogen bonded, cellulosic fibers having a thickness of 6 mm.
A decorative thermosetting plastics laminate assembly is formed comprising, in superimposed relationship:
(a) the monostichous substrate formed above;
(b) a printed decor paper impregnated with a thermo-setting melamine-formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 40%; and
(c) an alpha-cellulose overlay sheet impregnated with a thermosetting melamine-formaldehyde resin to a resin content of about 60%; and after positioning between separating sheets the assembly is consolidated to a unitary thermoset decorative laminate comprising:
(a) a monostichous core layer, about 0.9 mm thick of randomly oriented, substantially non-hydrogen bonded cellulosic fibers, containing about 28% of thermoset phenolic resin and 12% filler cutting dust;
(b) a decorative layer comprising the thermoset melamine-formaldehyde resin impregnated printed decor paper sheet; and
(c) a wear surface layer comprising the thermoset melamine-formaldehyde resin impregnated alpha cellulose overlay sheet.
The resultant laminate has excellent properties and surface appearance.
The procedure of Example 19 is again followed except that the overlay is omitted. Again, the high pressure decorative laminate produced from the monostichous substrate is of excellent mechanical strength and dimensional properties.
The procedure of Example 37 is again followed except that the air-laid web contains 24.9% of a 50/50 mixture of a first Novalac phenolic resin containing hexamethylenediamine and a second resole phenolic resin. The finished high pressure decorative laminate has excellent properties.
The procedure of Example 31 is again followed except that the air-deposited fibers are composed of 95% linerboard and 5% fiberboard mechanical pulp. The properties of the resultant high pressure decorative laminate are excellent.
When the procedure of Example 32 is again followed, except that the fibers are first sprayed with the phenolic resin and dried before depositing them on the foraminous belt, and the resultant monostichous substrate is employed in the manufacture of a laminate substantially equivalent results are achieved.

Website: Arizona among cheapest for car insurance
PHOENIX — Arizona is now in the top 10 states for car insurance rates, a website said.
Insure.com said Arizonans paying about $1,200 dollars annually for car insurance, about $300 dollars below the national average.
Nicole Farr with Arizona Insurance Council said one of the reasons the rate fell was due to high gas prices, but the main reason was the drop in car thefts.
"We have some great programs here. The Arizona Department of Insurance fraud unit as well as the Arizona Auto Theft Authority, they have bait cars and that has helped reduce auto theft in recent years."
Another factor in our cheaper insurance is that Arizona has been spared from catastrophes such as Superstorm Sandy and a repeat of the 2010 hail storm that left billions of dollars in damage to Valley homes and cars.

Legal reviews are notorious for being time-consuming and resource-intensive. Complex e-discovery productions can contain thousands of files that must be properly sorted, analyzed and reviewed, all by the court's deadline.
This process alone can be challenging—and becomes even more so when your discovery crosses international borders. Adding translation into your e-discovery brings with it an entirely new set of challenges, including understanding the delicate nuances of the language you're translating.
There's more to a proper translation than simply feeding words through a machine and seeing what comes out the other end.
Quality translations include the cultural context of the source material. When litigators review productions, the situational context of each piece of data is vitally important to the relevance of the document. Idioms, cultural references, and local sayings typically are missed with simple word-for-word translation. For example, criminals use code words to keep things under wraps. Phrases like "coffee money" or "wet my beak" seem innocuous out of context, but indicate guilt when the right cultural code is applied. The intricacies of foreign languages present serious problems for basic machine translators and attorneys who lack the appropriate contextual information.
Cracking the Code
Deciphering the cultural code during international e-discovery is no easy feat. Machines can only go so far, and non-native speakers have difficulty uncovering hidden meanings in messages. Native speakers are the best solution when a more personal and in-depth document assessment is needed.
Aside from leveraging the cultural insight of native speakers, there are several other tricks you can use to help crack the cultural code:
Cull Data Sets in Advance: E-discovery is all about efficiency; 60 to 80 percent of e-discovery costs are attributable to the search and review process. Adding translation services increases this cost. Culling your foreign language data sets in advance helps you determine which content is most valuable and worthy of your time. Begin by identifying English keywords first, then identify equivalent key terms and phrases in the local language, and lastly run the related keywords through your data sets to identify potential matches. Often times, utilizing in-region counsel can help to determine the appropriate terms and phrases and minimize the net amount of translation necessary.
Maintain Security: Legal discoveries are hotbeds of privileged information. Maintaining confidentiality of secure documents should be a priority for all litigators, particularly when multiple countries are involved. To avoid international legal pitfalls congesting your already-complex review, do your research on what extra paperwork or permissions might be necessary during document production.
Cross-Check Your Data: Making a mistake during legal discovery can cost your client the case. Check your translated information against your previously culled data sets to ensure you've covered all your bases. Even a small indexing mistake or typographical error can leave thousands of relevant documents unsorted and unusable.
Cross-border language translations are more involved than simple keyword analysis. Machine algorithms can analyze trends and patterns, but the initial screening will be more efficient and effective with a translation professional at the helm. When possible, work with an in-region linguist who also has legal experience. Native speakers understand the terminology used by their cohorts, and can even provide insider insight on related cultural keywords that your team may not have considered. Awareness of cultural issues during international e-discovery is the first step towards building an integrated legal review system and improving information governance overall.
As EVP and general manager at VIA, Scott works with legal, compliance, eLearning and related business users from some of the largest companies in the world to provide the highest quality translations.

This is a must have HG leave in for me!!!!
Two years ago this April I decided to embrace my naturally curly hair after years of heat straightening. My hair is color treated,naturally spiral curly hair 3b mixed with a few 3a & 3c's....after shampooing & conditioning my hair I section my hair and apply this while super wet from roots to ends then apply my other styling prodicts......This leave in is light weight & for me it works amazing!! I get defined,frizz free curls!!!
The scent is ok its light....after using this my hair never feels dried out.
I will say though that $19.99 for a 10oz bottle is pricey so shop around!! I found a great deal online for a liter bottle so its definitely worth it to me!!
(During the past 2yrs I've used other leave ins but kept coming back to this!! I sometimes alternate and also use the Shea Moisture JBCO leave in as well)

This product was recommended to me by my stylist. I have dry, damaged, frizzy, curly hair and I was hoping this would help with the frizz and dryness. It just doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't seem to do anything to be honest. I noticed no difference in my hair at all. Would not repurchase.

Woah, this is the best leave in conditioner I've ever used! My hair is interesting, its curly, yet has the tendency to get weighed down by products and also frizzes, so it's quite a challenge finding a product that meets those needs. This one did it though! It's light, but good enough to reduce the frizz and enhance my curls without the crunchy or wet look many traditional curl creams or leave ins give! And to top it off, it smells great! Yes it is pretty pricey, but for me personally I think it's worth it after all my bad experiences. Plus, this is the only product I use so rather than buying a bunch of different hair products I would much rather invest on one amazing hair product. In love!!!

I would prefer a lot of other leave ins before I would choose this one. I did not like the fact that it made my thick curls pretty crunchy. Also, my curly were thinner than usual and very lightweight, almost frizzy. Too expensive and not worth it for me.

This product SUCKS. I was really curious to try it since everyone has such good things to say, but I was very disappointed. I have 3c hair all around, and have tried this product every way; alone, with moisturizing products, oils, ect. It makes my hair SUPER DRY, has a terrible hold, leaves it frizzy, and it STINKS!! Im so mad I waisted $17 bucks on this. Dont believe the hype ladies!! Save ur hard earned money! Lol

I never purchased this product in the past due to the name, but the product junkie in me really wanted to try it. It works well on my 4c hair that has nicely defined coils with the right products. This product really defined my coils well. It doesn't have any slip but if I add a little oil over this product it can detangle my hair easily. I think it's extremely over priced so I probably wouldn't repurchase due to the cost. It's a great product but I'm sure I can find something cheaper. I don't like the scent- it smells like scented female hygiene products.

I have 3b hair mixed with a little 3c and this made my hair super crunchy hard and brittle.
My hair is quite porous that might be a reason why it doesn't work on me.
The price of this product (in Belgium) is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE 19,99� give me a break!!!! For a product that doesn't even work properly smh
I will not buy this product again.

kinda pricey, but it lasts long enough that I can always get it on sale.
I have fine, tight, coils and this is the only thing that tames and shines my curls without weighing them down or adding more grease. Use on damp hair, don't use more than about a quarter size and it'll last a while. HG 100%

I've used this on and off in the past. First off the smell to me is weird. It's like a bland lotion scent. I like the definition and softness it gives me. That price tho.....ugh. It's a decent product but that price ain't right. Lol

I've used Mixed Chicks on and off for about a year. Mixed Chicks gets the job done, but not alone. In order to tame my curls I had to use a leave in conditioner, then use Mixed Chicks on top of that, and sometimes I even had to add some gel. Recently I kept noticing this odd chemical smell in my hair and I couldn't figure out which product it was. I finally tried a different hair product and that annoying smell was gone! I like to smell good so Mixed Chicks had to go!
I took back all of my Mixed Chicks bottles and exchanged them for something else. The smell of Mixed Chicks and the length of time it took for my hair to dry with it was not worth the price.

BEST and WORST Divisions in Boxing right now?
Best: 147. Pac/May/Marquez/Ortiz/Bradley/Berto/Guerrero/Alexander. It was 140lb until some of them moved to 147lbs. SMW was also good but most of them actually ageing now and Ward has beaten all of them pretty much.
Worst: 160 probably.
What you guys think?

140 ****s on 147. 147 basically has all the elite 140 lb. fighters. They're just moving up to chase the big money. (Floyd).

147 is so overrated! Mayweather, Pacquiao and JMM are at the top but after that it is Bradley then after him then it is a huge Drop Off and a lot of Overrated HYPE JOBS!

I think 122lb is pretty good because there's a combination of young guns on the rise and already-established talent: Donaire/Rigo/Terrazas/Santa Cruz/Quigg/Frampton/Bakhtin/Vasquez/Romero/Mijares/Darchinyan.
154 is good because almost everyone at that weight is in their prime. 154: Canelo, Trout, Lara, Vanes, Kirkland, Molina, Andrade, Rosado, Baysangurov, Rabchenko, Thurman.

Weak(lacking in depth) divisions:

200: Yoan Pablo Hernandez, Marco Huck, Wlodarczyk, Lebedev

I kind of like the 140 right now with people moving up, but fight's not getting made is bad.
And am I the only one that doesn't like the Heavyweight division?

text: Ugh. Sorry. What I mean by that lame pastry joke is that the new Raveonettes album, In and Out of Control, comes out today, and you can stream the entire thing right now over at the Raveonettes' website. (Get it? They are Danish!) You can either go there, or go to their "Share" page, which also includes the album widget along with every piece of video that goes along with the album. It's a good one, not breaking out of the Danish duo's established template, but embracing the Spector-meets-shoegaze of their familiar sound. The Raveonettes visit the Doug Fir on November 7.

Even when I put both my laptop's volume and the flash player's volume to the maximum, sound is still weak. Is there a way to increase it (e.g., like in xbmc)?
Some sound chips have an extra utility to boost the volume even more, if yours has it you will find the utility on the tray bar or on the control panel. Notice that i'm not talking about the little speaker but OTHER utility on the tray bar, or you might need to find it on the start menu.
I'm running the latest Realtek HD driver on a Windows 8 PC. This should be standard across Windows PCs with the latest updates. To expand on Bill's answer above, I found that if you click on volume icon next to your clock, and go to the volume mixer>"applications system sounds">playback>advanced you can turn the volume up to 24 bit 192000 Hz studio quality. It's still a bit quiet on some improperly encoded videos but increases audibility exponentially.

Mental Health and The Law
The Royal provides specialized services for assessment and treatment of adults with mental illnesses who have come into conflict with the criminal justice system under one umbrella, called the Integrated Forensic Program (IFP).
The IFP provides specialized services in assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and community reintegration of adults 18 years and older who may be (or have been found) unfit to stand trial as well as adults who may be (or have been found) not criminally responsible by the court on account of mental illness. Additionally, the Family Court Clinic conducts court-ordered assessments for youth in conflict with the law and provides psychiatric consultation to the Youth Mental Health Court.
The Forensic Program operates at three sites: Forensic Services for the Southeast Region, Forensic Services for the Champlain Region and a Secure Treatment Unit in Brockville that serves the province of Ontario. Each offers varying levels of security, supervision and privileges within structured treatment environments and each works to create a therapeutic milieu of supportive care that promotes safe reintegration into the community.
The IFP also manages specialty clinics, located at The Royal, that include a Sexual Behaviours Clinic, Family Court Clinic and Anger Disorders Clinic.
The range of mental health services offered by the IFP are numerous and include violence prevention; risk management; court diversion; pre-trial assessment and treatment; inpatient services; mental health courts; day treatment; case management; transitional housing and outpatient and community consultation services.
The program also has an active and on-going research component in order to increase its understanding of issues and to better help patients. The Forensic Research Unit is affiliated with the University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research. Research is externally funded and peer-reviewed. Assessment and treatment of problematic sexual behaviours and aggression, as well as areas of mental health adjustment among forensic patients are currently being investigated.
Like many of the programs at The Royal the Integrated Forensic Program specializes in providing interdisciplinary treatment teams that consist of professionals from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, addiction counseling, vocational rehabilitation, pharmacy and recreation therapy as well as input from dietary, chaplaincy and education. The team develops individualized treatment plans to optimize risk management, patient mental health and well-being, that is consistent with public safety and within the limits of their defined dispositions.
Let's look at what the IFP offers at each site.
Forensic Services – Southeast Region
This site operates 61 inpatient beds, located at the Brockville Mental Health Centre. Inpatient services include secure assessment and treatment, active forensic rehabilitation, and transition care for community reintegration. Outpatient services include outreach support and supervision programs for individuals throughout eastern Ontario.
Forensic Services – Champlain Region
The IFP Champlain, located at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, has two units with a total of 43 inpatient beds. The Secure Assessment Unit focuses on acute care, pre- and post-trial assessment and treatment. The Secure Rehabilitation and Community Unit provides short to medium term rehabilitation, illness management and recovery programming.
General Forensic Outpatient Services offers assessment, treatment, consultation, group and individual therapy, vocational assessment and referral, case management and outreach nursing, day treatment and support and referral.
Secure Treatment Unit
This facility is a medium secure 100-bed correctional hybrid centre and mental health centre located at the Brockville Mental Health Centre and is a one-of-a kind in Canada. The Secure Treatment Unit serves 30 other provincial correctional facilities from across Ontario. The facility was created when The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services contracted The Royal to provide secure assessment, treatment and discharge planning to adult male offenders who have been provincially sentenced and have been diagnosed with a mental illness.
In keeping with The Royal's interdisciplinary treatment protocol, teams at the Secure Treatment Unit provide specialized assessment and treatment in the areas of sex offending, dysfunctional anger, trauma disorders and a range of psychosocial rehabilitation modules that address individual resident needs. Throughout their time at this facility, patient treatment focuses on reduced recidivism that ultimately leads to ensuring successful reintegration into the community.
Specialty Clinics
Under the IFP, The Royal also offers three specialty clinics that are directed to individuals who either are (or could be at risk of being) in conflict with the criminal justice system. They include a Sexual Behaviours Clinic, Family Court Clinic and Anger Disorders Clinic.
The Sexual Behaviours Clinic offers services specifically for those who have been or are at risk of being in conflict with the law because of their sexual behaviour. The clinic's goal are to provide assessment and treatment in order to manage the sexual behaviour-related problems, reduce symptom distress, as well as to increase psychosocial skills and coping strategies. Through treatment at this clinic, practitioners seek to improve overall patient well-being in order to maintain successful community living. Over the longer term, desired outcomes include reduced recidivism, prevention of hospital admissions and eventual discharge from the forensic program. Through this clinic, support is also available for the spouses and partners of individuals who have been or are at risk of being in conflict with the law because of their sexual behaviour.
To access this service, please print out this form and ask your doctor to fill it out and send it in (if you do not have a doctor, you can ask a doctor at a walk-in clinic). If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Murphy by email or phone at 613-722-6521 ext. 6374.
The Family Court Clinic provides assessment for courts involving children and youth in matters that pertain to the Child and Family Services Act, as well as the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The Royal's Anger Disorders Clinic offers specialized comprehensive assessments, consultations, treatment and management of individuals that have anger-related problems, whether or not they are in conflict with the law.
Youth Forensic Psychiatry at The Royal
The Royal plays an important role when youth are found to be in conflict with the law and enter the criminal justice system. The Family Court Clinic, offered through The Royal's Integrated Forensic Program, is primarily responsible for providing court-ordered assessments for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Assessments of 'fitness to stand trial' and of 'criminal responsibility' are undertaken by the Family Court Clinic to help inform the Court about the influence of mental health, behavioural, psychosocial and family-related problems upon a young person in conflict with the law.
The assessments include recommendations for interventions and treatment options that could be implemented in order to address the young person's specific needs and help reduce the risk of recidivism. A multidisciplinary team comprised of a psychiatrist, psychological associate/psychologist and social worker conduct the assessment. The process includes a psychiatric assessment of the young person, interviews with the parent, guardian or parent-figure, psychological evaluations and other specific assessments or investigations of the young person as well as gathering of information from collateral professional sources with the consent of the parties involved. The final report, which is subject to confidentiality and disclosure stipulations, is released to the presiding judge.
The Family Court Clinic also provides psychiatric consultation services to the Youth Mental Health Court. An accused young person may enter this court if, in the opinion of the Crown, a mental disorder was a central feature of the case and the accused youth would benefit from the unique sentencing approaches available through the Youth Mental Health Court. The Youth Mental Health Court's primary objectives include the facilitation of improved access to community mental health treatment services and positive outcomes for accused young persons with mental illness.

The Ontario Review Board (ORB) conducts annual reviews of the status of every person who has been found to be not criminally responsible or who is unfit to stand trial for criminal offences due to a mental disorder. Information on the ORB can be found on its website at: www.orb.on.ca
