BOUNCERS are moving right along at their worksite. We continue to have media coverage, which helps spread the word, not only of the gospel, but of the need for service in this community. Our participants have been noticed by neighbors and others in the community, and our hope is that this work would continue even after BOUNCE is gone.
Worship this week has also been exceptional. Our BOUNCE staff enjoys joining in worship with our participants, listening to them sing, read scripture and pray during the service. It has been a great way to wrap up each day of work.

This is a time when students and student leaders have the opportunity to worship through guided prayer for their neighbors and friends.

JEC Group has published a new book « Overview of the global composites market - at the crossroads ». An in-depth analysis of the composites market and the materials' potential, the book also highlights the challenges that lie ahead in the sector.
The industry sectors, users of non-renewable fibers, are now engaged in an eco-design approach. Structured to meet the demand of the Industry, JEC Group, the CELC's European Scientific Committee and its industry's R&D teams coordinated the first scientific book about the composite solutions natural fibers. « Flax and Hemp, a natural solution for the composite industry ».
The Swedish company Innventia together with an industrial consortium has developed a promising wood-polymer material from cellulose pulp and PLA. During autumn, this material is to be launched by Södra under the name DuraPulp.
The material is renewable, shows good mechanical properties, a perceived naturalness, nice tactile properties and can be dyed with clear colours. The DuraPulp® material to be launched by Södra will be in the form of composite pulp bales, to be further processed by various techniques into final products. One limiting factor though is that there today is no industrially viable production process available for producing the DuraPulp® material into granules for injection moulding. The research project "MouldPulp" intends to change this. The aim of the 3-year research project is the development of a processing technology that allows making injection moulded parts out of DuraPulp® but keeping the naturalness material identity. A multidisciplinary and international team from Sweden, Finland and Germany led by Fraunhofer UMSICHT is working on this.
The technical approach is to combine the DuraPulp® process with a special compounding process. The objective is to achieve a high fibre amount and at the same time a gentle compounding process and homogenous fibre dispersion. Afterwards, the granules will be injection moulded to sample specimens and technical parts. The material properties and moulded parts characteristics will be tested and evaluated. A recycling concept with the separation of polymer and fibres will be explored. The development process is framed into a techno-economic and ecological assessment of the novel processing technology.
The project consortium covers the whole value chain from a raw bio-based material up to plastic products for consumers. It consists of R&D-institutes, material and application developers, raw material producers, and plastic processing companies:- Fraunhofer-Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology UMSICHT, Oberhausen, Germany (http://www.umsicht.fraunhofer.de)- Innventia AB, Stockholm, Sweden (http://www.innventia.com)- Södra Skogsägarna Ekonomisk Förening, Väröbacka, Sweden (http://www.sodra.com)- FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, Willich, Germany (http://www.fkur.com)- Elastopoli Oy, Sastamala, Finland (http://www.elastopoli.fi)- Hammarplast Consumer AB, Tingsryd, Sweden (http://www.hammarplast.se/?id=2168)- nova-Institut GmbH, Hürth, Germany (http://www.nova-institute.eu)

It's no secret among my friends that someday I'd like to go to the granddaddy of the Comic-Con circuit in San Diego. I'm more into the sci-fi and pop culture aspects than comicsahem, graphic novelsbut I do appreciate the art of the comic. I also enjoy a good superhero story on the screen, big or small, and I was immediately intrigued by the new DC Comics/Warner Bros. motion logos unveiled at last week's Comic-Con. WBTV held a "Night of DC Entertainment" event to wrap up the convention with a bang (or a splash, if Aquaman is your thing). Each motion logo features the iconic WB badge within an environment befitting the fantasy world the show is introducing. From the foreboding dark stone facade representing Gotham, to the glowing green-clad WBcomplete with flying arrowsto open Arrow, to the electric sizzle of lightning to announce The Flash, each logo conveys the feeling of the show and draws the viewer right into the DC landscape. Each WB badge is followed by the updated DC Comics logo. Behind the "peeled back" D, we can glimpse a quick view of the fictional world or characters that inhabit it. Rounding out the list of Warner Bros. [...]

Hay on Earth short list
All entries submitted for Hay on Earth 2011, including some real gems, have been handed over to the WAG sustainability team for short listing - names will be posted here by Monday at the latest - apologies for not getting them up earlier.
In one area, Home and Hearth, whilst there were some great bids that will make a real difference, a few lacked the edge that would mark them out as being innovative and showing leadership - so we will be extending the deadline for this area alone, until 12.00 on 24 May to give groups the opportunity to re-submit bids that were unsuccessful or craft new ones from scratch.
Those who get shortlisted are guaranteed some interest in their projects as Andy Fryers, the Hay Festival's Director of Sustainability and lynchpin for Hay on Earth, is confident that all four days of the Green Dragon's Den are likely to be 'sold out' - whilst the tickets are free, anyone wanting to be assured of a seat should contact the Hay Festival booking office (online is best) and get their name down. The sell out means that each project will be pitching their ideas to 250 people...

Five years into Obama's presidency and we still don't know a damn thing about what he did in college. But Ted Cruz? Now we know he supposedly smelled and liked to hit his snooze button. Yes, really.
Proud, pretentious American destroyer Ted Cruz has always been a bit difficult. Since elbowing his way into the national consciousness, the Texas Republican has been outed as a hater of "minor Ivies" like Penn and Brown, and is said to have come to Princeton as a 17-year-old with a book titled Was Karl Marx a Satanist? "I would end up fielding the [girls'] complaints: 'Could you please keep your roommate out of our hallway?'" his undergrad roommate at Princeton Craig Mazin told the Daily Beast over the summer. ("I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone," Mazin added. "I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.")
Today, Mazin — who just so happens to be the screenwriter behind Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, and The Hangover III — took to Twitter to share more stories about his fateful time in a crappy room with Cruz. It's about what you'd expect, but funnier.
So a guy who admits to being the screenwriter behind such blockbusters as Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, and The Hangover III didn't like Ted Cruz, and this is news?
This is beyond pathetic.
When Ted Cruz was my roommate, he'd endlessly hit the snooze button. I asked him to stop. He wouldn't. So I Krazy-glued it. #learnfromthis
— Craig Mazin (@clmazin) October 11, 2013
We're sure Cruz thought he was a great roommate. Funny how nobody asks him about this loser Mazin.

Fragrance brief like azaleas fair,
Misty moments, whispers shared,
Morning glory, radiant tale,
Dew drop wonder, forever ensnared.
Sparkling streams to rivers deep,
Entangled net, escape too steep,
Through the sands of time, the trail it bleeds,
At the bottom of the lake, the memories keep.
Bound and tied to a memory sweet,
The edges fray, the night guard sleeps,
Empty eyes, tears denied,
I wake one day, no laugh, no cry.
Fragrance new of lilies fair,
Tentative moments, lifetimes shared,
Twilight glow, soft, yet bare,
Moonlight magic, fleeting, rare.
