Gilded Cage by Vic James
A Recommended Book of the Month
England is no longer the England that we are all familiar with. In this alternate England, everyone is by no means equal and all are not citizens with full rights. It is an England now ruled by a select few aristocratic families or "Equals" touched with a special magic called the skill. This magic can burn entire buildings to the ground, influence people's thought and actions, and in some cases even kill. Those who wish to become citizens with full rights must serve the Equals as indentured servants or even worse, be shipped to a factory slave town called Millmoor. There they will serve as slaves for a full decade of their lives under horrendous living conditions and harsh supervision. The most prominent of these Equals are the Jardines. Their family was the first to impose the Slavedays Compact upon the citizenry hundreds of years prior. Consequently, they now hold a place of great prominence, prestige, and influence in the council government. Yet there are secrets buried within the musty library inside the Jardine estate which if uncovered, could change the course of England's future and may potentially reveal the secrets behind what led to the heinous compact that now keeps all commoners under the boot of tyranny and oppression. There are those; however, who want the Slavedays to end and are working behind the scenes to force a vote within the council eliminating the barbaric compact forever. They, along with a small rebellious faction who have risen up within the factory slave town of Millmoor to fight for their freedom, may ultimately be the key to ending the scourge of the Equals once and for all.
Vic James is a new writer who has emerged on the scene with great fanfare. Ms. James completed her doctorate in the Vatican Secret Archives, which I found incredibly interesting. Gilded Cage is her first book, which makes what she has accomplished here all the more impressive. I have wanted to read and review Gilded Cage for quite some time as I kept hearing the comparisons to Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I'm a huge fan of the Victorian-era magic theme and so I went on a quest to track down an ARC (the release date for Gilded Cage is scheduled for February of 2017) so that I could see for myself what the buzz was about. After reading Gilded Cage, I will say that the comparisons to Clarke are only valid when it comes to the splendid quality of the writing. For when I actually immersed myself in the story, it bore little resemblance to that 19th century time period and plot. The crux of the story of Gilded Cage takes place in a modern day England, albeit a significantly alternate modern day England. Yes, the feel of the writing and specific settings do strike one as Victorian in nature, but that is part of the brilliance of the book. You can't really pin down a specific time, and so the reader is left to appreciate the story instead of focusing on when in history this is occurring. It lends a uniqueness and freshness to the story as well as a very good mystery. The aspect that really made this book work for me was that I was constantly kept guessing and wondering what was truly going on throughout the entire book. I knew there was something that the author wasn't revealing and Ms. James would give a snippet here, and a clue there, which I thought worked beautifully. The archaic practice of the Slavedays is a brutal but intriguing premise and ultimately I wanted to find out how that came about and to what ends was this practice initiated. Ms. James writes with the skill of someone who has been an author for decades. I was blown away by how beautiful the prose was and that just lent more effectiveness to the story for me. I haven't read a book like Gilded Cage in a long time. It disturbed me at times, moved me to moments of joy, made me angry, and also created a sense of wonder in my mind that only a skilled author can deliver.
In the end I was left emotionally spent and wanting another book to read immediately so that I can find out more about this amazing world that Vic James has envisioned. Extremely impressed is all I can really say. I recommend this to everyone regardless of what genre is your favorite. Even though it would be classified as Dystopian, the story is so well-written and compelling that any reader can appreciate and enjoy it. The good news is that Gilded Cage is just the first book of a planned multi-book series called The Dark Gifts. So there's a lot more coming and I for one am happy to hear that. I really can't wait to see where Vic James takes this series next. She's an incredibly gifted author who should be making huge literary waves for years to come.

Rotterdam's Nieuwe Instituut Launches International Call for Fellows
Het Nieuwe Instituut, the Dutch institute for architecture, design, and digital culture in Rotterdam, have announced an open call for three research fellows to work in residence between June and December 2016. Alongside the institute's exhibitions, lectures, publications, and archives, the Fellowship program will explore and challenge how research is conducted within an institutional context, pursuing alternatives to the expectation of predetermined outcomes, the use of official jargon, and the inertia power of the curriculum vitae. In the long term, the program is also intended to complement, reflect on, interact with, and critique the ongoing activities of the institute.
How One Artist Translocated a Family Home from Detroit to Rotterdam
An empty house from Stoepel Street 20194, Detroit, is now in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In this article for The Guardian, artist Ryan Mendoza describes his impetus and process for translocating a worn, abandoned former family home from one continent to another – as well as the statement he hoped to make. "When I arrived in Detroit in March 2015 I realised that this city – in the country I had left in 1992 out of distaste for its nationalistic, isolationist, police-dog mentality and its privatised prison system, [...] had, aside from the positive developments that were mostly in the downtown area, begun to look like a war zone."

Why Rem Koolhaas Switched From Scriptwriting to Architecture
As part of OMA co-founder Rem Koolhaas' sixth interview with Charlie Rose, the Rotterdam-based Architect discusses why the Dutch port-city is his practice's base – and why he switched from journalism and scriptwriting to architecture. In the discussion, of which four snippets have been made available, Koolhaas also explains why he feels that smart technology has a "sinister dimension," and on how he—and his practice—have a tendency to "resist aesthetic."

Willem Dudok: Meet the Father of Dutch Modernism
Willem Marinus Dudok (6 July 1884 - 6 July 1974) was one of The Netherlands' most influential Modernist architects. Formally trained as an engineer, Dudok spent his formative years designing military barracks for the Dutch forces, and his time with the military has been credited with the development of his early linear style, though he was known to borrow elements from Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie school of architecture. Dudok's architectural legacy is undeniable: with a career spanning several decades, his portfolio encompasses nearly all civic buildings in Hilversum, along with a series of projects in Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Paris, among others.
More than forty years after Dudok's death, Dutch journalist Peter Veenendaal has produced two videos documenting the architect's best projects, both in Hilversum: Town Hall and the Sports Grandstand. Serving as sequels to Veenendaal's documentary "City of Light" which delved into Dudok's design for retailer De Bijenkorf in Rotterdam, the videos highlight Dudok's impressive eye for form and linearity.

MVRDV's Reflective 'Wunderkammer' in Rotterdam is Given the Green Light
Rotterdam will soon have a new cabinet of curiosities to add to its collection of architectural icons. For many years the city's Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, originally established in 1849, has required a safer space to house its world-class collection of painting, sculpture and prints – a collection which is said to have a total value of €7billion ($7.5billion). Last week the Municipality of Rotterdam voted in favour of the building's construction and, with zoning approved, "the world's first fully accessible art storage facility" is now slated to open its doors in 2018.

MVRDV Transfer Early Work to the Archives of Rotterdam's Nieuwe Instituut
Rotterdam-based practice MVRDV have begun a transfer of their early work, spanning fifteen years from 1993 to 2008, to Het Nieuwe Instituut — the central architecture archive of The Netherlands. This collection, which will eventually be made available to the public, will be in the institute's first primarily digital donation (approximately eight terabytes of data) and consisting of material from 400 of the practice's 680 total projects, including the Villa VPRO, the Silodam in Amsterdam, and the Markthal Rotterdam, as well as unrealised projects such as Meta City Datatown, Pig City, and 3D City Cube.
Puddle-Free Parking: New Absorbent Surface Swallows Water Instantly
Perhaps the only material on the architectural market known for its "thirst," ultra-porous concrete is being hailed as the future of urban water runoff management for warm climates. The emerging material reached mainstream popularity in recent weeks thanks to a viral video depicting an apparently ordinary car park absorbing an inordinate amount of water; 1.2 million views later, the video has ignited debate on viability and possible uses for water-absorbent concrete.
Ultra-porous concrete is gaining a foothold thanks to extensive research being conducted by architects and engineers around the world. Known for its rainy climate, daring use of innovative materials and unorthodox architecture, it comes as no surprise that the Dutch city of Rotterdam has embraced water-absorbent concrete for testing.
MVRDV's Markthal Rotterdam Wins European Property Award
MVRDV's Markthal in Rotterdam has received a High Commendation in the category of "Mixed-Use Architecture" at the 2015-2016 European Property Awards.
MVRDV's Markthal PR Campaign; Or, How We Learned the Price of Chicken
Becoming "the Sistine Chapel of Food" required a lot of invisible hard work. As Rotterdam's Markthal turns one year old, MVRDV's Head of Public Relations and Business Development Jan Knikker reflects on how the PR and media hype around Markthal Rotterdam was organized. This article is also supplemented by an interview conducted by ArchDaily with Winy Maas and Jan Knikker, which connects the parallel lines of the building's design and its PR campaign.
If I say that this is a PR story will you believe a single word? Markthal Rotterdam is a PR story with astonishing results: since its opening by queen Maxima in October 2014, our office MVRDV has nearly doubled in size to 110 staff members and it's still growing. We - and The Financial Times - call it the "Markthal Effect". In the first year the building reached over 8 million visitors, more than the Eiffel Tower, Bilbao Guggenheim or Tate Modern. 800 articles were published worldwide. It was hailed as a Sistine Chapel for food, a symbol of urban renaissance, a cool place to go. With the roughly 4 million visitors that came from outside of Rotterdam, the city saw its tourism grow.
How did that happen? It would be an easy assumption to think that a great building naturally attracts this kind of attention. But it all started quietly. In 2004 developer Provast and MVRDV won the competition with a plan that resembles the current design, except with one big difference: the colorful art piece which brightens up the inside of Markthal was at that stage also all over the outside facade. In any other city that would have lead to an instant protest movement against the zeppelin hangar covered in a gigantic fruit wallpaper. But not in Rotterdam. Public awareness started only once the construction became noisy.
Winy Maas and Jan Knikker on Markthal, PR, Awards and Architecture Media
Today marks one year since Queen Máxima of the Netherlands opened MVRDV's Markthal in Rotterdam to great public fanfare. In the 12 months since this event, the building has come to be recognized by the architectural establishment as being among the most important of MVRDV's designs. Perhaps more interestingly though, it has become widely popular among the general public - on Google you can find references to "Rotterdam's Sistine Chapel" in a variety of languages, and articles about the building have appeared in publications everywhere from Colombia to Vietnam.
MVRDV Head of Public Relations and Business Development Jan Knikker's article, published today on ArchDaily, shows that this widespread recognition was not accidental; it was the result of a widespread and comprehensive PR strategy initiated by MVRDV and carried out by a team that included every one of the building's major stakeholders. It's a fascinating and provocative tale that offers an insight into one of the least trusted facets of architectural practice. However, it also largely ignored one important element that undoubtedly contributed to the building's popularity: its design.
In order to connect the two parallel lines of Markthal's design and its PR campaign, we spoke to Knikker and founder of MVRDV Winy Maas to talk about Markthal, PR, awards and architectural media. Read on for the full interview.
Five Films to Watch at the 2015 Architecture Film Festival in Rotterdam
It's only logical that Rotterdam, one of Europe's leading cities for architecture and architectural practice, has a biennial film festival. Since its inception in 2000, the city's homage to architectural cinema now claims to be the biggest architectural film festival in the world. Featuring over one hundred international documentaries, feature films and shorts—as well as debates, lectures and seminars—this year's festival plans to "provide a podium for discussing the city and future of spatial development." From cinematic journeys into the world of the illusive Böhm family to Zaha Hadid, Chinese ghost cities to London's Barbican estate, this year's programme circles around the theme of the Global Home.
With the eighth incarnation of the Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam (AFFR) opening next week (running from the 7th - 11th October 2015), we've selected our five top picks from this year's schedule.

Florida has not been treating John McCain's campaign vessel, the Straight Talk Express, very well in the past two days. Since Tuesday the bus has been involved in a collision with a minivan and was photographed carrying a bumper sticker for Barack Obama.
On Wednesday, the Express ran over a minivan, in a botched right turn. Car blog Jalopnik has photos.
Senator McCain was not in the vehicle at the time of the crash, but Senator Joe Lieberman was. Lieberman was on his way out of an interview with Florida news outlet Local 10.
On Tuesday, one day before the collision, the Express was seen carrying an "Obama '08" bumper sticker, as photographed by The New Argument. The source of the sticker is unknown.

Akron/Family - Sub Verses (2013) [FLAC] Released: 2013 Duration: 50:27 Genre: Pop/Rock Style: Folk, Experimental Source: CD (log + cue) Codec: FLAC Bit Rate: ~ 950 kbps Bits Per Sample: 16 Sample Rate: 44,100 Hz 01 No-Room 02 Way Up 03 Until the Morning 04 Sand Talk 05 Sometimes I 06 Holy Boredom 07 Sand Time 08 Whole World is Watching 09 When I Was Young 10 Samurai Akron/Family are one of those exasperatingly unknowable bands. They've concocted an image, all right -- check out their MySpace page or the Young God Records one, and you will quickly be advised that they are "extremely nice, sincere and well-mannered young men from rural America who came to New York City in 2002 to make music." But other than that and the occasional unfounded rumor that they practice a made-up cultish religion called AK (pronounced "ack"), the only way to know these apparently affable twenty-something fellows -- the original lineup consisting of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Seth Olinsky, from Williamsport, PA; vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Miles Seaton, from Porterville, CA; vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Dana Janssen, from Williamsport, PA; and lead vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Ryan Vanderhoof, from Union Springs, NY -- is through their music, which falls squarely into the freak folk category launched, in the minds of the popular culture anyway, single-handedly by Devendra Banhart. Through several albums made in a Brooklyn home studio and through a collaboration with Young God labelmate Angels of Light, Akron/Family earned themselves a madcap reputation: songs that start in a Beatles-inspired place inevitably erupt into skronk before settling into country sweetness, and folk-raised spirituals dart through Led Zeppelin territory, with '60s rock and general psychedelia also major themes. In addition to the more obvious influences -- the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Dylan, the Band -- Radiohead, Captain Beefheart, and acts like Spiritualized also clearly infiltrated the Family iPods, and to impressive effect. Following their 2005 self-titled debut on Young God and a split with Angels of Light (also serving as the backing road and studio band for that Michael Gira project), Akron/Family released their follow-up album, Meek Warrior, in October 2006. In 2007, lead vocalist Ryan Vanderhoof left after recording the adventurous Love Is Simple. The group remained a trio for the 2009 release Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free. The album was released by the Dead Oceans label in America and Crammed Discs in Europe, and Akron/Family followed the set with two singles, "River" b/w "Morning on Michigan Avenue" and "Everyone Is Guilty" b/w "Total Destruction." After a long tour and a brief rest, Akron/Family retreated to a cabin near an active volcano in Hokkaido, Japan, in order to write new material. Upon returning to the United States, the band teamed with producer Chris Koltay (Liars, Holy Fuck, Deerhunter) and commenced to record in Michigan Central Station, the abandoned (and infamous) ten-story train station in Detroit. The end result was The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, issued in February of 2011 on Dead Oceans.

NHV orders six additional EC175s from Airbus Helicopters
(PresseBox) (
Anaheim, California
Noordzee Helicopters Vlaanderen (NHV) has ordered six more Airbus Helicopters EC175s, increasing its acquisitions of the new-generation rotorcraft to 16. NHV is an EC175 launch customer, booking its first contract for 10 of the mid-sized, twin-engine helicopters in 2012.
"We - NHV and our customers - having experienced the EC175's performance first-hand, have full confidence in the helicopter's capability to meet NHV's operational needs and in Airbus Helicopters' ability to deliver on its program commitments," said NHV CEO Eric Van Hal. "This second EC175 acquisition also continues our strategy of owning and operating a young fleet with the most modern systems, which enhances NHV's mission capabilities and contributes to safe operations. Following the EC175's recent certification, we look forward to the start-up of deliveries with this latest member of Airbus Helicopters' product line in the heavier mid-sized rotorcraft category."
Based in Ostend, Belgium, NHV is specialized in business-to-business aviation services. Its helicopters are deployed to nine different countries on three continents. NHV's missions range from services for the oil and gas industry to heli-lift duties for harbor pilots, wind farm operators, governments and hospitals.
Deliveries of NHV's first EC175 is planned later this year.
"There is no better endorsement than a reorder - especially from an operator with such demanding mission requirements and high standards as NHV," said Airbus Helicopters CEO Guillaume Faury. "NHV can count on the full resources of Airbus Helicopters for its EC175 service introduction."
Airbus Helicopters has committed significant resources to ensure optimized aircraft maturity and a successful entry in service for the EC175, supported by a dedicated task force and tools that include validated support and services deliverables, along with the establishment of training capabilities. As part of this strategy, the company is locating the first EC175 Level D full-flight simulator in France.
The EC175 has been certified to the latest airworthiness standards, covering both the helicopter and its new Helionix® avionics suite - which provides increased safety through reduced pilot workload, enhanced situational awareness, improved flight envelope protection and system redundancy.
Powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada's latest PT6 engine, developed specifically for this helicopter- the PT6C67E version - the EC175 has become the industry's benchmark medium-sized twin-engine rotorcraft across a full range of missions, including transport duties in oil and gas operations, corporate and executive transport, search and rescue, emergency medical services and public services.
Contributing to the EC175's competitive edge is its speed and comfort. At a cruise speed of 165 kts., the helicopter operates with extremely low vibration levels.

Martin Gordon Cotton Canvas Sport Shirt - Long Sleeve (For Men)
Closeouts. A washed finish lends instant casual appeal to Martin Gordon's sport shirt, crafted from subtly textured cotton canvas.
Average Rating based on 18 reviews 4.666666 0 5
Reviewed by Al the Hiker from Virginia on Monday, February 10, 2014Real nice light canvas shirt. The fabric is relatively thin canvas and kind of rough.. Got softer after the first wash. In mine, the inside is beige. I ordered a small and can say it is true to size. Tayloring and workmanship is good.
Reviewed by Mister Bill from Greenville, SC on Thursday, December 26, 2013This shirt is a great buy at the bargain STP price. It is well-made with high-quality material and detailing. I bought the Denim color and it looks good on. I bought one size larger than normal because of my experience with other Martin Gordon shirts, and also the advice of other reviewers. The larger size is perfect for me.
Reviewed by l3mhuang from Colorado on Saturday, December 14, 2013This is very good made shirts. It has the quality of material and craftsman. I also like the fit. I had ordered three more after a first one.
Reviewed by Peter on the Faraway Island from Nantucket, Massachusetts on Wednesday, November 13, 2013Excellent material and tailoring. A perfect fit. Ideal for casual wear with jeans and chinos.
Reviewed by formerly Jim the Runner from Brooklyn on Wednesday, November 6, 2013Fabric is substantial yet light. I am really happy with this canvas shirt. I even wear it with a tie and a suit.
Reviewed by Pamela Poet from Albuquerque on Tuesday, October 15, 2013Looks nice. Not too heavy and not too light. Wear as a shirt or light shirt jacket. The XXL was in between XL and XXL. Instead of sending it back, my husband chose to lose 10 pounds.
Reviewed by 5dayweekend from Charleston, SC on Friday, October 11, 2013Very high quality shirt. Runs small. This brand's sleeves are about an inch shorter then average. Thought the shirt would be softer.
Reviewed by Adrian from Oahu on Wednesday, October 9, 2013Quality
Reviewed by sqms from Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, October 8, 2013Really nice thin-canvas shirt. Is well made and can be machine washed and dried. Sizing is slightly small.
Reviewed by BK from Colorado on Tuesday, October 8, 2013Ordered these in 3 colors because really like canvas shirts. I usually wear sleeves rolled up. All of these shirts have light khaki lining in sleeves. So when they are rolled up you have contrasting color. Looked okay with the green shirt. Didn't like the contrast with the other colors. The collar on the shirt also rises a bit and doesn't stay in place very well. But for a casual shirt at this price it will do okay. And for the quality of fabric, color saturation and detail for this price it was worth keeping the one in green. Returned the others.

Those of us who work in the newspaper industry are frequently asked "how are you doing?"
No, that is not simply a friendly and congenial greeting from a friend, relative or acquaintance. People want to literally know how we are really doing in a business sense.
You see, there have been reports the past couple of years about the death of the newspaper industry. It is a business past its prime in the world of digital information and technology, we have been told.
Well, we're happy to say that our industry's death has been greatly exaggerated. In fact, one online business website, Moneyville, reported last week that the term "dying newspaper industry" will be retired in the next year or two.
The reason? Many newspapers are still profitable, even in these difficult economic times. Readership is at record high levels in the United States and Canada.
Newspapers remain the source of choice by many people for receiving information ranging from local news and business advertising to legal notices and classifieds.
Need proof?
A recent survey conducted by American Opinion Research for the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association revealed some interesting and reassuring results for those of us who work at newspapers. Among their findings:
Some 86 percent of respondents reported regularly reading a daily, weekly or Sunday-only newspaper during an average week. More specifically, 61 percent read a community-based weekly like the Hood River News.
Not all newspaper readers are old, as some would lead you to believe. In fact, this survey revealed that 87 percent of young adults (ages 18 to 39) read a newspaper at some point during the week.
Some 73 percent of respondents said printed newspapers were their top source for local sales and shopping information. Second was the Internet with just 10 percent.
Some 66 percent of respondents said printed newspapers would be their most likely source to access public notices. Government websites were second at 25 percent.
Those are just a few of the highlights.
What does it tell us? Quality newspapers are still valued for the service they provide, be it news, advertising or entertainment. We aren't going the way of the dinosaur anytime soon.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

A novel method for the measurement of chain transfer to monomer constants in styrene homopolymerizations: The pulsed laser rotating reactor assembly
Kapfenstein-Doak, H., Barner-Kowollik, C., Davis, T. P., & Schweer, J. (2001) A novel method for the measurement of chain transfer to monomer constants in styrene homopolymerizations: The pulsed laser rotating reactor assembly. Macromolecules, 34(9).
The chain transfer to monomer constants (Cm) in styrene bulk polymerizations have been determined in the temperature range between 25 and 90 °C using both thermal polymerization and the novel pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) with extended dark times. This novel technique determines transfer to monomer rate coefficients by combining a pulsed laser setup with a rotating reactor/cuvette assembly. The resulting transfer controlled molecular weight distributions (MWD) were analyzed by the well-known Mayo and chain length distribution (CLD) methods. The results of both experimental methods agree well, which indicates that PLP with extended dark times is a reliable technique to determine transfer to monomer constants. For this reason, we report average values for the activation parameters determined from both thermal and extended dark times PLP experiments: Ea = 21.6 kJ mol-1 and A = 0.22 L mol-1 s-1. These numbers are in excellent agreement with those reported in the literature.

Anyone had an apicoectomy (tooth root tip removal) ?(9 Posts)
Well, I've been to the dentist today and am now feeling sick at the apparent possibility I may have to have an apicoectomy .... where gum is sliced, peeled back, and very tip of tooth root (where infection may or may not be sitting in my case) surgically removed.
I have a front tooth with a longstanding filling which was previously root treated, which has been niggling over the last few weeks. Dentist says Xray shows there might be the start of an abcess in my gum, and looks like the very tip of the root wasn't filled and there might be some infection there (if I've understood correctly).
Has said to monitor situation ... i.e. come back if pain increases and/or if gum swells at all, so he can take another Xray and refer if necessary.
Apart from the fact I am terrified of all things dentist - and even more so now having googled what it entails, I am also petrified about the cost. Dentist has said I'd need to be referred to a dental hospital and probably "need" to go private as "NHS isn't much good for things like this". Again, googling shows that this seems to be normal practice as it's a specialist procedure with specialist micro tools etc., and I'm assuming that the option to have it on the NHS is severely constrained by lack of facilities and waiting times.
I am absolutely sick at the thought of what this might cost. The alternative is extraction and either a denture (!!!) or an implant ... the 2nd option obviously being hugely expensive too. Dentist did say that if situation doesn't alter the niggles could be due to sensitivity so am hoping that nothing gets worse, but if I do need further treatment would be very grateful for others' experiences of this operation, and how much it cost private. Am thinking that if it gets to the stage where I'm referred, could potentially have to live in serious pain for as long it'd take me to wait to be seen on the NHS, and if an abcess does develop you can't just leave it anyway can you as wouldn't it spread ? That'd mean having to go private one way or another wouldn't it ?
Any advice / experiences very gratefully received !
Message withdrawn
Yes I have had that. T'is fine, honestly. You don't feel anything other than the usual tugging.
And the pain is nowhere as bad afterwards as you would imagine. I hardly felt much pain, tbh. I felt bruised and sore, but it wasn't pain as such iyswim?
And if your infected root is a painful as mine was it's a walk in the park compared to that. I'd have removed my own tooth with a pair of pliars if I could reached it properly (it was a back tooth)
I had this done to one of my top canines almost 4 years ago, but was lucky enough to be able to have it done under General Anaesthetic as I am not particularly brave when it comes to all things dental (despite years of orthodontic work as a teenager). I could have had it done in my surgery with sedation, but would have had to pay for the actual procedure - thankfully I managed to get it covered by my private medical insurance in the end. I was on a waiting list to have it done in an NHS hospital under GA, but seemed to fall off the list after around 3 years as they stopped writing to me with updates.
The actual problem with my tooth that triggered the infection (root canal treatment not filled deep enough) happened around 16 years before I finally had my operation. I got infections in the gum every few years, but they were easily treated with antibiotics, so you might not end up with an abcess as quickly as you imagine. I'd push for a referral as soon as you can, and start asking on what local guidelines are around the use of sedation / GAs for the procedure, so that you know what your options are.
Thanks all .... so far fingers crossed the pain has been more a niggle than out and out excrutiating. Have had to take pain killers a few times but it seems to come and go.
Unfortunately, no private health insurance so will have to be NHS or private paid for. Does anyone have any idea what I might be looking at ?
From memory, it was around £200 for the sedation and around £150 for the actual treatment. If I had had it without the sedation, I think it was nearer £100 for the whole treatment. I was told that I couldn't mix and match private sedation with NHS treatments, so had to pay privately for both elements, despite the fact that I would have had it done on my NHS dentist's premises.
It's the type of procedure that can be done in any maxillofacial/oral surgery department under the NHS.However you might prefer to have it done by an endodontist privately as they would use a microscope and have specialist filling materials. OP the guidelines are normally that if there is a possibility of the original root canal treatment being redone this should be done first as this has a higher chance of success. This usually has to be done privately as there is very little specialist root canal work done on the NHS (too darn expensive to comission).
I had this done yesterday................go for a general! (NHS) had mine under local and nearly killed the nurse and surgeon! total of 9 injections and i still felt every dig and poke! Giving birth was far less painfull and this has instilled a fear of returning to the dentist, I was usually looking forward to dentist for clean polish!
Today i have very swollen top lips, and 2 black eyes a mouth full of bruises and stitches.
No hot food or drinks and no alcohol for 24hrs, and a weeks worth of antibiotics and painkillers.
I wouldnt wish this procedure on my worse enemy.
I'm a dentist and I would only have this done by an endodontist, not a specialist oral surgeon. Talented as they are, their success rates do not compare to the endodontists. I have never come across one of these who works on the NHS, even in hospital. OP, don't be put off by anyone else's stories, each case is individual and because someone else had a hard time doesn't mean that you will.

Remington Unveils Recent AcquisitionOGDENSBURG, NY - Today the Frederic Remington Art Museum unveiled its most recent acquisition, Joan of Arc, 1918 by Sally James Farnham.
Joan of Arc, 1918 was likely made for a competition for a Washington, DC monument to Joan of Arc. This insight is courtesy of Michael Reed, also from Ogdensburg. He runs the Sally James Farnham Catalogue Raisonne project and learned about Sally for the first time when he worked at the Remington as a summer job while in college.
Sally James Farnham (1869-1943) was from Ogdensburg, and was a gifted and successful sculptor. Excelling at portraiture, she executed many works of living people, including presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Harding, violinist Jacha Heifetz and actress Lynn Fontanne. She also created portraits of her intimates, such as her friend Enos Booth and her sister Lucia Madill's grandchildren. All these works are already in the museum's collection. She also competed successfully for many evocative public monuments. The most famous is Simon Bolivar in New York's Central Park. She did many great funerary monuments. She was a very big deal in her day, and we hope to develop appreciation for her work, states director Laura Foster. In 2005 the museum published a monograph on her work, Sally James Farnham: The Art of Being an Artist, by Peter Hassrick. Buy the book
Farnham and Frederic Remington were artistic colleagues, casting at the same foundry, Roman Bronze Works, NY. She consulted him on the particulars for the civil war sentry in Ogdensburg's Spirit of Victory monument. Sally worked on Remington's sculptures in production after his death; the enlarged Broncho Buster and The Stampede. Thus, she had her part in the preservation of his legacy.
As the museum continues to develop a strategic plan, it is clear that the art of Sally James Farnham is an important component of the museum's collection and interpretive focus. This seemed like an ideal time to invest in another, rare work, bringing the collection to 13, the largest public collection of the artist's work. View more works by Farnham.
The museum's founding collection, the vast holdings of Remington's art and archives included a bronze by Sally James Farnham, Cowboy Fun. This work is exhibited in the museum's Newell Interpretive Corridor, and helps to tell Remington's story. This is one of several Farnham works that is in a way inspired by, if not a tribute to her friend and mentor. Farnham gave busts of President Warren G. Harding and Marshal Ferdinand Foch to the museum in its early years, the first additions to the collection formed from Eva Remington's founding bequest.
The museum won the sculpture at a Sotheby's auction on June 9th. Those who have generously funded this acquisition are: Jack and Jo Anne Backus, Mary and Carl Colton, Dr. Patricia Mahoney, JoAnn and Lowell McAllister, Robert and Eleonora McCabe, Julie and Peter Huff, Dolly MacIntyre, Janet McFarland in memory of George McFarland, Tyler and Sara Mongerson, Allan P.
