Is it that time already?
You'd better believe it, Christmas season has well and truly arrived.
In Adelaide, my family always kicked off the festivities with the Christmas Pageant. Only then were we allowed to start talking about the big man in red and the upcoming holidays. Mum put a stop to decorations though - we had to wait until 1 December to put the tree up and then of course, there was the opening of the first advent calendar door that was always a special occasion.
I'm going home this weekend for the cricket (my favourite time of the year) and can't wait to put up the Christmas tree with my niece and nephew at Mum and Dad's house. Then I have to come home and work out how I'll deck out my new little pad - I move into a new flat in two weeks and can't wait to style it up. Pink as far as the eye can see . . . and noone to complain :)
Moving house is always a good excuse to ditch the old and invest in the new. I am sick of living like a uni student in a share house and want to start enjoying the finer things in life. I'll be dusting off my Kate Spade plates and Laguiole cutlery and start living like a grown up for a change! The timing is also perfect to put in some sneaky requests for some home related Christmas presents from the fam.
And so we begin Kate's annual Christmas wishlist. As self indulged and spoilt as it must seem, it's so nice to pretend that money grows on trees!
I'd love a cool new doormat for my new flat. I'm up on the first floor and there are two other doorways in my little alcove so I want to make sure mine is the best dressed! The Woodsfolk have a great range, but there are so many cutesie ones out there.
I've been coveting these Celine sunglasses for a while now and am trying to get Mum to cave and buy them for me before Christmas so I can wear them to the cricket this weekend. She's adamant I need to wait until Christmas #firstworldproblems
Market shopping is one of my favourite things to do in the world. If I could swan around all day with a baguette and bunch of fresh flowers in my basket, I'd be the happiest girl on the planet. Lady Chatterley's Affair has just brought out the most fun Portobello Road Baskets that would make market shopping such an adventure. I've got my eye on the pink and green one (aka 'Watermelon Fizz') #hinthint
Food is always a safe bet with me as a gift. I love to give it and I love to receive it. I'm desperate to try out a famous Lune croissant and am psyching myself up to battle the early morning crowds over Summer. I'm trying to work out the best way to get around the queues and think maybe I've struck gold - a Lune Lab experience. Did someone say three courses of croissants? Yes please!
I'm all out of perfume and I feel like a half human. Dramatic, yes. Time to restock my Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia - let's go for the big bottle this time!
I am desperate for some new champagne flutes. Now that I'll be out on my own and it will be so much easier to entertain, I'll need some nice flutes for all that cheersing! I adore the stemless variety they use at Ombra. Can someone kindly track them down for me, please? And the recipe for the eggplant fritte while you're at it!
I'm loving my Spotify beats like noone's business and am struggling with the playback through my handset. Time to invest in some proper speakers - my old ones were for an ancient iPad and my new phone doesn't fit. Apple is infuriating like that. These Bose ones will do just nicely!
My current laundry bag is . . . my bedroom floor so it's time to get my grown up on and invest in some proper storage solutions. I'm open to suggestions, but I want it to look pretty in my room. Not like the blue, white and red striped bogan bag I use when Mum and Dad come to visit (because surely that's a step up from the floor?).
And there we have it. Kate's epic wish list for Christmas 2015.
I might add a few more down the track but it's a start (are you reading this, Mum?)

I had nothing better to do on Wednesday night other than, you know, getting the right amount of sleep on a worknight and feeling healthy (who needs that, right?), so I made the short drive into the heart of the Wormtown Cultural District -- at least that's what the sign on the highway says -- to check out Lemuria, which was easily the better thing to do anyway. The Firehouse has quickly become one of my favorite spots to see a show, especially now that I've given up being lazy long enough to walk around the block and find where the combination Tedeschi/Dunkin' Donuts is (if you're not from central Mass, then Tedeschi is like Sam's. What's Sam's? Fuck, I don't know). I think the tendency is to think that Lemuria has been sanding off all the rough edges as they go along, but I just listened to their newest one ("The Distance Is So Big") back-to-back with 2008's "Get Better" this morning, and they're not all that different-sounding. Maybe the recording has gotten better, or maybe my ears are made of wood. In person, Sheena still makes all those neat squawking noises with her guitar, and Alex is still one of my favorite drummers to watch. I didn't grab the set list, but they mixed in some older stuff like "Lipstick", and the place went nuts for "Pants", the lead-off track to "Get Better". They played a Muffs cover, too ("From Your Girl"). I saw the Muffs twice in the '90s and didn't think they were all that great, but it looks like history's against me on that one. Judging by every 20-year-old kid's Tumblr, at least. Some guy was wearing a vintage Worcester Ice Cats shirt, I saw another guy with Batallion of Saints, Poison Idea, and Society System Decontrol patches on the back of his jacket, and absolutely no one showed up in a sweatshirt with a big "Y" on the front. I could explain that joke, but it would take all the fun out of it.

Each day holds goodness. I just need to see it. It might be a new word or a new strength. This time it was revealed in Faith's speech therapy. The speechy and Faith play various games. This includes using her iPad. Faith's mouth opened wide saying 'I'. She is yet to master 'pad' but with help from the speechy, she can. It has different games that Faith loves. They were playing a hair dressing game. Faith would wash the man/woman's hair, blow or towel dry it, colour, curl, trim or lengthen. So many options. She was shown how to use the game first and after a short time understood how it worked. She just couldn't get enough of it.
I must confess I often underestimate Faith. More and more I am seeing more of her personality. She is a little girl who at times struggles to help us understand her meaning. Her communication is improving and excitement grows in me looking at how far she has come. Faith desires activities to match her developmental stage not her fine motor skills. We need to find ways and toys appropriate for her. Perhaps even one of those dolls that she could learn how to do its hair so it relates to her new game. This afternoon we were looking through some colouring and sticker books and I offered Faith a crayon. She took it not realising she needed to hold onto it to draw so she dropped. We repeated this process and with me guiding her hand, she made a scribble. What a positive achievement. She is blossoming in the search for her self.

On Delisting
Publishing these links is an excellent thing to do, as it allows us to take a punt at guessing who requests delisting and why. As you might expect, most of the delistings relate to court proceedings and criminal offences.
Whenever this topic arises, it's the subject of loud and long lamentation, and for good reason in many cases. That's quite justified in instances where articles are delisted because they reference
1) People who have committed serious crimes
Quite a few of these articles relate to terrible crimes, and I think it's fair for people to be concerned about this. I'm not particularly pleased to see that e.g. rapists could have all mention of their crimes effectively expunged from the record by simply forking over a bit of cash to Google, and you can probably imagine how that ability is very useful for various bad people and organisations.
Note here that I'm assuming that it's the perpetrator or one of his/her relations that has asked for the article to be delisted, rather than the victim. The latter seems less likely, but it's hardly impossible.
There are far more examples of delisted articles involving
2) People who have committed minor crimes
I'm a lot less worried about this. I have no problem with the idea of people who e.g. get drunk and get into a fight being able to sweep the matter under the carpet. All of us are human and we can all be terrible shits to each other and make awful errors, and I don't think it's wise or just to keep people on the hook for this in perpetuity.
By "on the hook", I mean the likelihood that any Google search for your name is likely to return an article about you e.g. shoplifting or getting busted for minor drug possession when you were a teenager. If you've been tried, sentenced and have paid for a minor offence, it seems a bit harsh to me that any future employer, partner or aquaintance is only a web search away from hearing all about it.**
And it's worth noting here the unequal nature of Google searches for individuals, too. If your name is e.g. "John Smith", "Ann Brown" or "Muhammad Ali", people will most likely have to upend the entire internet to find any online material that references you, rather than the million other "John Smiths" in the UK. If you're called Trevor Jigglytits De Souza, then a lot of the daft/unpleasant things that you've unwisely said or done will be instantly available.
Obviously, this level of forgiveness doesn't apply to all crimes and indiscretions, in all situations - I can imagine why a company might want to know if a potential employee isn't mentioning his previous embezzlement convictions, to pick a random example - but it remains a less concerning issue than serious offenders expunging their records.
Another category of delisting relates to
3) People who have said or done embarrassing things
Quite a few of the delisted articles are about people who have gone missing, for whatever reason. I can imagine why people might not want the first thing that people can learn about them to be that they did a sudden Stephen Fry act and buggered off to Belgium in the huff for a fortnight in 2004.
There's also a lot of seemingly innocuous articles about TV shows and the like, and I'd suggest that it's not the article itself that somebody wants rid of, but one of the comments underneath it. Again, if your name is Fuckface McGhee the Third and you once spent a drunken evening typing overwrought comments about e.g. Him Off Big Brother, then your boozy ramblings are likely to be the first thing that people will find on the internet relating to you.
Once more, my sympathy doesn't apply in all cases. If you're running as an MP and have previously announced that you think Hitler had a point, it's probably in the public interest for that fact to remain on your record.
Nonetheless, I think it's important that we draw a distinction between people who have, on the one hand, made tits of themselves in public, and certain multinational corporations who have accidentally poisoned several thousand Indians to death. One of these issues is a bit more serious than the other, and it's wrong-headed to treat them both as if they were the same thing.
My generation is lucky in that we're the last that grew up in relative obscurity. There are, thankfully, no photos of me with that horrible haircut in 1996 floating around the internet, nor are there any snaps of me passed out pissed around a toilet bowl, and there's no public record of that night that I went off on one and made an utter exhibition of myself in that pub in Dundee. This is a bit of a blessing, and it's not one that people who go out and make arses of themselves this evening will be able to count upon.
It's also fortunate for me that the internet really went big when I was in my early twenties, as anyone who has ever found an example of their angst-ridden teenage poetry at the back of a drawer will attest. It's a lot easier to put an old bit of paper in the bin than it is to delete it from somebody else's Facebook account, isn't it?
Anyway, none of this should be read as saying that there's no problem with Google offering a delisting service. There are many reasons why this should be seen as A Bad Thing, helping nasty people and organisations to shuck off the consequences of their own nastiness.
Nonetheless, it doesn't hurt to look at the issue with just a little bit of compassion and human empathy, I think.
*I'm just assuming that you have to pay for a delisting here, but I may be wrong.
**Enthusiastic law 'n' order types tend to disagree on this point but in my experience, even the most unforgiving of hardline justice types suddenly changes their tune on the matter when it's them or their family member that's been arrested for shoving a traffic warden or some such.

I'm a little hazy on the details of all this. Is it anything to do with the EU's 'right to be forgotten' concept.
As I said to the judge, I was just polishing it and it went off.
- Phil said...
e.g. rapists could have all mention of their crimes effectively expunged from the record
Not really. Less serious criminal records 'expire' eventually - the longer the sentence, the longer it takes to expire. Above a certain level, though, a criminal record never expires - you always have to declare it when applying for a job, a voluntary position, a loan etc. And the level's not high - I think it's about eighteen months in prison. Sex offenders also have to go on the Sex Offenders' Register after release, and that's rather hard to get off. Even if you think that a 20-year-old armed robber should still have his record hung around his neck when he's 60 - and I'm not sure I do - the current system does basically achieve that.

"accidentally poisoned several thousand Indians to death"
You seem to have misspelt "negligently"...
No, you don't have to pay to apply for a delisting. And no, an application for delisting doesn't mean that Google will necessarily accept the request.
There are lots of issues involved, to be sure, such as extraterritoriality, the likelihood that the applicant is likely to be parti pris, public interest, and so on.
But I'm really not sure of your concerns. Google already delists lots of sites such as child pornography, incitements to terrorism, libraries of ghastly war footage, and so on. Good for them, say I.

There are a lot of bilingual people but to be a trustworthy translator/interpreter it is required to have professional education, in-depth knowledge of the working languages and cultures, strong personality factors, and keen understanding of a subject field you perform the translation in.
My career as a translator began in Russia where I was raised, inherited the culture, and received my initial education. I graduated from the South Federal University in Rostov-on-Don with a Master's degree in Linguistics, specializing in Translation/Interpretation. I thought I had everything to be a translator. And only after I moved to the USA I realized that this is not enough to be a skilled translator/interpreter. My work was grammatically correct but clumsy and blindingly literal. I needed to continue educate myself.
Thousands of hours of practicing by performing translations on various topics, reading, and observing brought the results. Now I stand behind every document I translate and every conversation I interpret! I am proud of every linguistic product I produce.
Now my steady work load consists of:
– Interpretation for the court system in the State of Virginia
– Telephone interpreting (Social Security Administration, Insurance companies, Medical Facilities, FEMA, etc.)
– Translation of legal and financial (stock market, FOREX, corporate finances) documentation.

|This article is about 'the DVD'. You may be looking for 'the British video or the US VHS/DVD'.
Thomas Comes to Breakfast and Other Thomas Adventures is a Malaysian VCD featuring six second series episodes. It was released in the Philippines under the title, The Deputation narrated by Ringo Starr.
Thomas, the small, mischievous engine lives with all of his friends on the Island of Sodor. They all happily work together on the railway. However, not everything goes well all the time and the little blue engine often has to face a lot of unexpected problems. In the end, they can usually congratulate each other on being Really Useful Engines.
- Stickers were included in the case of the Philippine DVD.
- The Philippine DVD front cover says that George Carlin narrated some of the episodes.
- The Philippine DVD features Spencer on the front cover, but is not in any episodes on this disc.

this past weekend we had one winter day and one summer day...i guess that equals spring??
we enjoyed a leisure bike ride while i froze my little tail end off.
it was freezing!!
we were on the look out for a snake.
andy had taken the kids on a bike ride on the trails a couple of days before and they had seen a 5 ft long snake slithering across the path.
we didn't find any snakes but we discovered a huge root protruding out of the ground that made the perfect jump for the kids.
on sunday it was blue skies and a puff a cloud here and there.
i wish weekends could last forever.
ella is off for the next two weeks for spring break and we have quite a few things planned...
should be fun!!

Mapping Metaphor: A qualitative analysis of metaphorical language in discussions of receiving exome and whole genome sequencing results
Nelson, Sarah C.
MetadataShow full item record
The rapid integration of genomics into clinical care, growing interest in offering genetic results to research participants, and consumer enthusiasm for personalized genomics requires greater understanding of how individuals conceptualize and communicate about genetic information, preferences for genetic information, and individual genetic results. At stake are the potential benefits and harms of accurate communication versus miscommunication. Metaphors such as the "genome as a blueprint" have been well studied in public discourse as a vehicle for conceptualizing genetics; however, the applicability of these metaphors to the translation of personal genetic information is largely unknown. We performed a qualitative analysis of metaphorical language in 40 interviews and 13 focus groups in which participants (n=109) were asked to discuss their preferences for and expectations about receiving genetic results from whole genome or exome sequencing. We identified several salient conceptual metaphors in which participants compared genetic information to physical objects such as tools, weapons, and goods in boxes. Dichotomies and tensions within these metaphors suggest the importance of agency and different loci of control. In some cases, genetic information empowered the individual to act (e.g., a weapon in their arsenal) while in other cases it overpowered them (e.g., they are bombarded by genetic information). Participants used metaphors such as storing results in a "lockbox" or unintentionally opening "Pandora's box" to describe the potential benefits and harms of incidental sequencing results. Metaphors comparing whole genome sequences to formal documents or reports (e.g., credit report) raised questions of authorship, ownership, and interpretability, and resonated with well-known genetics metaphors in the public domain (e.g., blueprint, recipe, book of life). These results have practical implications for understanding and perhaps influencing how research participants and patients perceive the desirability, utility, and actionability of genetic information. Our findings suggest that increased awareness of and attention to metaphorical language may serve to improve communication between stakeholders when discussing genetic information.

About 1,600 years ago, a group of tribes from present-day Holland, Denmark and Germany moved in and fought their way across the rapidly crumbling remains of Roman Britain. They created a number of Kingdoms and eventually started to call themselves collectively the "Anglecyn" or "English" as we would say today. England is a small country but it packs a big punch in terms of tourism. Of course, London and its surrounding countryside are always massively attractive and that's why London is regularly one of the top tourist destinations in the world. There's no better way to see it than through local tours run by local people and Withlocals has a strong London expertise base.

The total estimated population of Curlews on WES accredited properties up to the end of 2014 is 187 pairs and 150 individuals, a total of over 520 birds. The accredited properties identify their presence as a predominantly summer breeding population, reflecting their upland orientation. It should be noted that the estimate is based on observation rather than on a consistent survey approach, so figures should be treated as citizen science. WES aims to provide guidance on practical and consistent survey techniques in the near future to add increasing precision to applicant reporting.
The population trend results for Curlews are shown in the table below. 13 properties have indicated that the birds are predominantly stable, with an increase noted on 1 and minor declines noted on 4. The declines appear to have taken place mainly on properties with relatively small populations of Curlew.
Overall, 21 out of 23 accredited properties reported on Curlew, with12 moorland shooting properties, 9 low-ground farming and shooting enterprises and 1 arable farm reporting their presence. 2 arable properties indicated that Curlew were absent. All properties on which Curlew are present are undertaking habitat and predator management.To find out more about the Wildlife Estates Scotland Initiative, please visit the website - http://www.wildlife-estates.co.uk

CHRISTIANITY & ASTROLOGYFor most of the Christians , a "Christian astrology" cannot exist; the very idea is a contradiction in terms (oxymoron is the fashionable word). Yet Christianity begins with signs in the heavens and the visit of Wise Men or Magi (literally, astrologers) to the Christ child.
ISLAM & ASTRLOGYAccording to Islam, Astrology is the scientific study of stars for determining and fixing time division such as months and seasons and directions.In modern times, this is lawful because it is perceived by the senses and fixed calculations, which can help determine the times of prescribed prayers, and other religious duties that should be observed at certain times.
HINDUISM & ASTROLOGYVedic Astrology or Indian Astrology or Hindu astrology, is a system that originated in ancient India, and was documented by sages in the Vedic scriptures.Also known as "Jyotish" -- the science of light, Vedic astrology deals with astral light patterns that are thought to determine our destiny.
By reading the chart of the heavens for the time and place of your birth, claim vedic astrologers, they can know much about you. The positions of the planets in the real star-based zodiac are taken and your "dashas" (predictive timeline) are arranged. Your Vedic chart will most likely reflect your real life and your dashas are probably operating the way they should. The Vedic astrologer looks at these planets, signs and house placements in your chart and can "see" your personality, as well as life events and possibilities - both the good and the bad times in your life. The dashas are then used to determine "when" the events will unfold in the life.
ZOROASTRIAN & ASTROLOGYZoroastrian astrological system is the original source of all subsequent currents and tendencies in astrology. The calendar cycle includes 32 years, in which each year has a certain symbol connected to one of the animals with a totem. The totem has certain symbolics and properties given to the person who has been born in the given year. Every totem has an antitotem, warning about devil temptations, offered to people of the given year of birth.
Festivals are important times in our lives when we forget our worries and indulge in merry-making and revelry. But festivals are also times when we should introspect our purpose here on earth. Most of the festivals of any religion are timed according to the planetary positions in the sky.
Astrology is not a religion and religion is not concerned with astrology. However some astrological implications are found in almost all the major religions of the world. New insights of the religious mind can help astrology to resolve certain eternal problems that mankind is facing now...
The whole world talks about places to visit or things to indulge in before you die. We at www.findyourfate.com have compiled a list of things to do before you die on a religious perspective. Select your religion of interest to proceed..
It is said that" Once you are born, death is the only certainty in life". Most of the religions believe in a life after death. Find what various religions say on death, after life, heaven, hell, karma, reincarnation, etc.

NIST Releases Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.0
"The framework provides a consensus description of what's needed for a comprehensive cybersecurity program," said Under Secretary of US Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Patrick D. Gallagher. "It reflects the efforts of a broad range of industries that see the value of and need for improving cybersecurity and lowering risk. It will help companies prove to themselves and their stakeholders that good cybersecurity is good business."
The framework allows organizations—regardless of size, degree of cyber risk or cybersecurity sophistication—to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improve the security and resilience of critical infrastructure.
Organizations can use the framework to determine their current level of cybersecurity, set goals for cybersecurity that are in sync with their business environment, and establish a plan for improving or maintaining their cybersecurity. It also offers a methodology to protect privacy and civil liberties to help organizations incorporate those protections into a comprehensive cybersecurity program.
While today's framework is the culmination of a year-long effort that brought together thousands of individuals and organizations from industry, academia and government, it is expected to be a first step in a continuous process to improve the US's cybersecurity.
The framework document is labeled "Version 1.0" and is described as a "living" document that will need to be updated to keep pace with changes in technology, threats and other factors, and to incorporate lessons learned from its use. According to the document, these updates will ensure the framework meets the needs of critical infrastructure owners and operators in a dynamic and challenging environment.
The three main elements described in the document are the framework core, tiers and profiles. The core presents five functions—identify, protect, detect, respond and recover—that taken together allow any organization to understand and shape its cybersecurity program. The tiers describe the degree to which an organization's cybersecurity risk management meets goals set out in the framework and "range from informal, reactive responses to agile and risk-informed." The profiles help organizations progress from a current level of cybersecurity sophistication to a target improved state that meets business needs.
"The development of this framework has jumpstarted a vital conversation between critical infrastructure sectors and their stakeholders," said Gallagher. "They can now work to understand the cybersecurity issues they have in common and how those issues can be addressed in a cost-effective way without reinventing the wheel."
NIST also has released a "Roadmap" document to accompany the framework. It lays out a path toward future framework versions and ways to identify and address key areas for cybersecurity development, alignment and collaboration. It says NIST will continue to serve as a convener and coordinator to work with industry and other US government agencies to help organizations understand, use and improve the framework. This will include leading discussions of models for future governance of the framework, such as potential transfer to a non-government organization.
More information about the Cybersecurity Framework development process and all related documents can be found on the framework website.

I found this adorable free pattern for a baby bonnet on Aesthetic Nest (which by the way is an awesome blog). This is the pattern: Crochet Blessing Day Bonnet. So here is how my first try came out:
Mine came out much larger than what the pattern slated. I am sure it is because I crochet a little looser than most. I like my items to stretch and cotton yarn doesn't do that very well. The pattern doesn't give a gauge or measurements of the finished project. The one I made above is large enough to fit a child 3 – 10 years old. I know the baby in the original pattern is not even 1 yet. I may have to use a smaller hook or maybe even go down to a Sport yarn.
I used Lion Cotton yarn in Grape.
Let me know what size your bonnet is if you give the pattern a try. I will try again later and see if I can get it smaller.

It's the last week of November and I cannot wait for December! :) This year I am trying my hand at a December Daily (DD) album. I need to make it interesting so I'll stick with it LOL. So much to do (crafting!) and so little time. I need another me in the studio. :)
I really cannot wait for my DD items to arrive from Pretty Little Studio (what a CUTE shop!) and my album from Studio Calico. I have been watching all the ladies in the December Classroom creating their album covers and pages, and all I get to do is watch, drool and admire their gorgeous work. :) They truly are beautiful covers! I wish I could work on mine, but I'm blocked until the UPS guy arrives :)
|click the image for download
|click image for the PDF
I will make the cards available in PDF for those without print and cut and for those that use SSD or SD I will have the print and cut file. I would really appreciate it if you could pin the cards to your boards and share the link on your FB walls.
Thank you so much for your support! I hope you enjoy adding them to your albums as much as I enjoyed creating them! :)

Recyclamine® is epoxy hardener developed by Connora Technologies (Hayward, CA) for recyclable epoxy thermoset technology. Recyclamine® epoxy thermoset materials can be easily recycled unlike any other epoxy thermosets, that are essentially non-recyclable or very difficult to recycle. This instructable explains how to recover epoxy thermoplastic and carbon fiber (CF) from CF epoxy composites scrap. The instructions can be used for any other Recyclamine® epoxy thermoset scrap materials as: glass fiber composites made with Recyclamine®, post-manufacturing scraps of Recyclamine® thermoset epoxy materials from production of sporting goods, etc. Both: epoxy thermoplastic and all other materials used (carbon fiber, glass fiber, wood, rubber) can be recovered from all post-manufacturing scrap materials.
Materials needed for the Recyclamine® epoxy recycling:
- CF composite scrap (for example plate 2in x 2in)
- 0.5L of 25% aqueous acetic acid
- 0.5L of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide
- 1L beaker, big watch glass to cover beaker, magnetic stirring plate with heating, magnetic stirring bar, pH paper, gloves,
Step 1: Composite Recycling
~0.5L of approx. 25% acetic acid aqueous solution is poured into a 1L glass beaker and placed on the hot plate. CF composite is placed in the solution until fully submerged and heated gently. The beaker may be covered with any type of cover to reduce evaporation (e.g. watch glass, glass plate, etc). No stirring is needed. After 1-2 hours all epoxy is completely dissolved and CF 'free flowing'. CF is removed and let to dry.
Step 2: Epoxy Thermoplastic Solution
Obtained from previous step is a solution of epoxy thermoplastic in aqueous acetic acid. The solution should be let to cool down and can be stored tightly closed for re-used for future Recyclamine® epoxy thermoset scrap materials recycling. The epoxy thermoplastic recycling solution can be reused as long as its pH is acidic.
Step 3: Epoxy Thermoplastic Recovery From Recycling Solution
Epoxy thermoplastic solution is slightly acidic and needs to be neutralized with dilute sodium hydroxide (5% in water) to recover epoxy thermoplastic. 100mL of sodium hydroxide 5% solution in water is poured into a 1L beaker on a stirring plate and stirring is started with a (preferably) big magnetic stirring bar. Thermoplastic solution is poured slowly with stirring into the beaker. Suspension of thermoplastic is formed immediately and the mixture simultaneously warms up (no cooling is necessary). After approximately 100mL of recycling solution is added the voluminous precipitate of thermoplastic results. Epoxy thermoplastic is removed by filtration and can be washed with water and dried.
Note (1): The solution after thermoplastic recovery has usually pH of 7 and can be safely disposed off into the sewer. If pH is outside of neutral range (6-8) some acetic acid or sodium hydroxide needs to be added to adjust pH to neutral and than solution can be disposed of.
Note (2): After drying epoxy thermoplastic is ready for any use and can be for e.g. pelletized. Recyclamine® epoxy thermosets offer a true cradle-to-cradle solution for epoxy industry, additionally to benefits of zero-landfill manufacturing.
Great way to reuse materials!

It took her a bit to warm up to the fact that this one wasn't "HOT!"
There she is...the favorite gift of Christmas 09..."Red baby." (Aptly named for her very red outfit.) We have no idea what the attraction is...but she hasn't slept a night without red baby since Christmas day.

Allie Herzog was waiting for the commuter train home from her job in Manhattan when a fellow passenger approached her. "He thought I looked familiar," she says. They spent the train ride talking—only to discover that they lived three houses apart in NY. The two soon began dating, but their neighborly status ended when Frank moved back to Buffalo, his hometown, for work. Before he left, Allie took him on a Block Island getaway to introduce him to one of her favorite places, Rhode Island. "I never knew this before our rehearsal dinner," says Allie, "but he told me that trip was when he realized our relationship was going to last."
Their love affair with Block Island lasted as well. For their wedding, the couple—who now lives in Newport—knew it was the perfect destination to bring friends and family together. "I always wanted something beachy and coastal," says Allie.
The couple married on the lawn of The Atlantic Inn, perched on a hill overlooking the ocean and harbor. Bridesmaid dresses in sea glass hues evoked the beach setting, as did summery bouquets and nautical touches, such as "ferry ticket" save-the-dates and sweet messages-in-a-bottle written by guests. To blend their religious backgrounds, the couple exchanged vows beneath a birchwood chuppah, creating their own sense of tradition by sealing love letters and a bottle of local wine in a "love box," to be opened on a future anniversary.
The cocktail reception on the veranda included nods to Frank's hometown, including mini wings and "beef on weck" sliders, two Buffalo signature bar snacks. For a taste of Rhode Island, guests enjoyed a rehearsal dinner clambake and wedding-day raw bar, as well as lobster sliders and specialty cocktails made with local blackberries. "Frank's family had never been to Rhode Island," says Allie. "We wanted to give them a taste of the coast."
Above all, they wanted the day to be a relaxed celebration. "We wanted it to be fun, summertime casual, not super fancy," says Allie. "My family got a house for the week next to the inn, and it was a nice way to extend the celebration. It goes so fast."By Nicole Maranhas

Articles tagged with: Deus EX
Europe received the early announcement of what's coming to the Instant Game Collection for Plus subscribers and its pretty acceptable. So much so that North American commenters are saying they are willing to move to get the …
There are at least a dozen titles for 5 Games That articles floating around PS3 Attitude at any one time, so this week we thought we'd dig out one of our more obscure (read: crazy) ideas. Specifically, with winter very nearly upon us, we've been discussing five videogame characters' coats we'd like to wear during this coldest of seasons (yeah, told you it was obscure).
Treasures of Montezuma Blitz is dubbed a free-to-play puzzler; but no doubt quite a few of you picked it up, played five games and then found yourself feeling slightly miffed when it asked you to cough up 79p to play another five.
We've moved on from 2011, but what a fine year it was. It was a year packed with many highlights: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Portal 2, Skyrim, L.A. Noire, Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City, to name just a few.
We now turn our collective eyes towards the gems 2012 will bestow on us, and it looks set to be another fantastic year.
Over two articles, PS3 Attitude's writers are each selecting their three most anticipated games of 2012. Staff writers Stefhutch20 and Ryanmoto3 will put their votes forward in part 1 and editors DolphGB, Majiesto and Seanoc will follow up later with part 2.
So without further ado, here are the hottest PS3 games of 2012, selected by Team Attitude.
2011 was a superb year for video games with titles such as Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Killzone 3, Modern Warfare 3, and a slew of other games, both with and without 3 in the title. With so many great contenders out there, it's been difficult to pick just one to crown as Game of the Year.
I'll admit that narrowing down my list of top games was a difficult task, but there was always one game that stuck out most; one game that managed to satisfy every criteria in my head; one game that excelled in all aspects. As a result, I've chosen Deus Ex: Human Revolution as the best game of 2011.
BAFTA Games last week hosted a Game Writers Panel in London, during which experienced writers Edward Stern (Brink), Rhianna Pratchett (Mirror's Edge) and James Swallow (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) covered a variety of topics on the subject of narrative design.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution explores the potentially limitless possibilities of human augmentation. It also brought moral decisions that would ultimately shape the world Adam Jensen would help create, whether for good or bad. Still, the game left plenty of unanswered questions by the end and had fans clamoring for more.
Human Revolution's first piece of DLC comes in the form of The Missing Link, a new chapter that fills the three day gap in the story where Adam is a stowaway aboard a cargo ship on its way from Heng Sha to Singapore. What occurs on the cargo ship will expand further upon the conspiracies and social constructs explored in the main game. Question is, is it worth its $15 price tag?
The first round of downloadable content for Ubisoft's critically-acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been titled and dated. Take a look at the trailer to find out what is in store for Adam Jensen.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set in the year 2027 and features biomechanical augmentations that allow humans to essentially transcend their physical bodies and execute tasks that would otherwise seem impossible. While Deus Ex may take place in a fictional world, the technology present in it isn't as far fetched as you might think.
Deus Ex Machina literally means 'god out of machine,' referring to ancient Greek dramas in which a god would be introduced into a play in order resolve some improbable plot. In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the player takes on the role of Adam Jensen, a man turned mostly machine after a deadly attack at Sarif Industries. In an effort to discover who is behind the attack, Adam becomes entangled in a mess of conspiracies, lies, and deception. The choices you make throughout the game determine the fate of humanity.
Will you strive to do what is right, regardless of the situation, or will you embrace the machine in you and live as a god?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is all about giving you several options to tackle a situation. However, many gamers find it hard enough to master straightforward games never mind ones that like to complicate things. Unsure if Deus Ex is going to be too fiddly for your liking? Check out this trailer from Square Enix because it should make things clearer.
Live action game trailers a thing of the past you say? Nay says Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
As the medium of video games evolves, story elements and player motivation carry an ever-increasing amount of weight in the overall gameplay experience.
Take a look at what Eidos Montreal has in store for their much anticipated prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
At this year's E3, 46,800 industry professionals, journalists, retailers and analysts arrived in LA to experience the videogame industry's biggest event of the year, and with over 200 exhibitors promoting their latest games and hardware, this year was arguably the biggest ever.
We cannot offer you a complete guide to E3 2011 (that would require writing a book), but we can give you this neat list featuring 10 thing that caught our attention during this year's show. We had great games and impressive hardware on show and a lot of stuff happening in-between. Enjoy.
Although the madness that is E3 has yet to commence, Eidos Montreal has decided to give us all an early look at their official E3 trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Combat, stealth, hacking and social. These are the tools with which you can overcome the obstacles that lay before you. Which tool comes out of the bag is completely up to you.
Further explanation can be found in this video that shows viewers how a single destination can be reached along three unique paths.
Speaking broadly, there are two things that make Deus Ex Human Revolution a very exciting game: firstly, it is smart, especially for a first-person shooter; and secondly, it looks supremely cool, as you can see from the latest screenshots from publisher Square Enix.
The first-person shooter genre is one of the most dominant of this generation. The success of Call of Duty alone is staggering. Back in late December, Activision announced that Black Ops had surpassed $1bn in sales and that over 600m hours had been logged playing the game. The game is still topping the charts today. Call of Duty isn't the only franchise flying the flag for first-person shooters either; there is also much fanfare for Killzone, Battlefield, Medal of Honor and Resistance, to name just a few of the big hitters.
Well then, dear PS3 lovers… it will soon be the Year of the Rabbit, the happiest of all the Chinese zodiac signs.
In Chinese astrology the Rabbit is considered to be happy and popular. Rabbits are known for their artistic talent and good taste. You might say there are certain attributes of the Rabbit that foretell of a great year for Sony's flagship console.
So, is that the case? Or will 2011 be more a 'dog of a year' than a metaphorical 'lucky rabbit's foot'?

The sponge, corn kernels and corn meal model different kinds of food of different sizes (different sized foam pieces are also pictured). The utensils represent different kinds of ways that fish catch food.
What is the easiest "food" to catch with each kind of mouth?
Students can use the worksheet to record what they find.
Results and discussion:
Some fish feed by biting pieces off their prey e.g. sharks, piranha, adult salmon. The tongs and clothes pegs grabbing onto large pieces of foam model this kind of feeding behaviour.
Some fish suction feed. Food that is smaller than the mouth is sucked into it by a pressure difference when the mouth is opened. Most bony fish feed in this way. The baster or pipette sucking up medium and small pieces of food models this kind of feeding behaviour.
For a video of suction feeding try Wikipedia webpage "Aquatic feeding mechanisms": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_feeding_mechanisms.
Some animals are filter feeders. Water flows into the mouth then through a filter that catches the food. The filter might be a tiny structure, as in barnacles and mussels, the large baleen of grey and humpback whales, or the medium-sized gill rakers of fish such as sharks and herring. The animal engulfs water and prey, the prey is trapped in the filter, then the water leaves the body again (through the gills of a fish). When the animal moves rapidly forward to engulf water and prey they are "lunge feeding" ("ram feeding" is a slower version of the same).

Filter feeding of tiny particles (as for barnacles and mussels) modelled by the tea strainer and sieve.
Filter feeding of larger particles with gill rakers and baleen modelled by the slotted spoon or spatula.
Optional: watch real barnacles feeding as an example of filter feeding.
Aboriginal Focus School combined this activity with the Animals Moving in Water lesson, for a long lesson on how animals move and feed in water.

Tasmania's Energy Minister accused of misleading pensioners over energy bonus
The Tasmanian Government has been accused of misleading pensioners, concession card holders and potentially a parliamentary committee, over special energy bonus cheques.
The $125 cheques from Aurora Energy were due to be delivered by Christmas.
They were promised to Pensioner Concession Card holders in October last year to offer power bill relief for low-income households during the festive season.
However, many people did not receive their cheques in the mail until this month, and there are reports of others who are still waiting.
Westpac has accepted responsibility and apologised for the delay in processing the payments.
Today the State Opposition released a letter from the chair of Aurora Energy, Caryle Demarte, on November 30, warning the Treasurer Peter Gutwein and Energy Minister Guy Barnett that pre-Christmas payments could not be guaranteed.
"It must be noted that there is a reliance on external parties Centrelink and banking partner Westpac to ensure timely distribution of the bonus," the letter said
"As such, we are unable to bind these parties to ensuring the payments will be made by December 20, 2017."
Labor Elwick MLC Josh Willie said it was concerning that several days later Mr Barnett told Aurora's government business scrutiny hearing the cheques would be in the mail before Christmas.
"If he was warned on November 30 and continued to maintain that they would all be distributed before Christmas, knowing that there could be problems, then ultimately he may have misled that committee," Mr Willie said.
Minister accuses Labor of 'carping'
Mr Barnett said it was "offensive" to suggest he knowingly made a promise the Government could not keep.
"For the Labor party to suggest such a thing it confirms that their criticisms is simply carping at the sidelines," he said.
"The Government was repeatedly advised that cheques would be, and had been sent before Christmas."
He said Westpac had agreed to waive cheque processing and postage costs in acknowledgement of its error.
"Aurora's administration of the scheme, previously estimated to cost up to $100,000, has now been reduced to only $10,000, or less than 0.1 per cent of the total scheme value."
Kingston pensioner Chris Neilson, speaking today alongside Mr Willie, said she was hoping to use her cheque to help pay for Christmas lunch with her 11 grandchildren, but it only arrived last Friday.
"If you're on a pension you know how important $125 is to you," she said.
"I just think it built people's thoughts up and excitement up and then let us all down."
Greens leader Cassy O'Connor said the Minister's knowledge in November that the cheques might not be deliverable before Christmas proved that the special energy bonus was a politically motivated bribe gone wrong.
"It's been exposed as that and there's been a deliberate attempt by Guy Barnett and the Treasurer to mislead disadvantaged Tasmanians who were looking forward to that boost before Christmas."

I finally finished up with
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
. Yes, you read that right. I finally finished the main quest in
--and boy did I overdo it. Full dragon plate armor, free destruction spells, the works. Well enough about that. This weekend I'm planning to enjoy an old classic thanks to Steam's Unreal Deal being only $10 until May 27, so I'll likely be playing something with the words "
Unreal Tournament
" in it somewhere.

Unfortunately with one hand fully bandaged, I'm going to have to play some old school role-playing games and nothing new, so I dusted off the Wii and plan on playing
Final Fantasy VI
a bit.
Nathan Carter | staff writer | Twitter @natedoggcata
It's Memorial Day weekend, and that means all hands on deck where I work, so I won't be able to do much gaming. If I get time, I'll probably try to get some practice in with
Injustice: Gods Among Us
. Other than that, it will probably be quick games of
Left 4 Dead 2
when I can. My regularly scheduled gaming will continue next week when I get my hands on
Donkey Kong Country 3DS
Sean Colleli | staff writer
I'll be finishing up
Resident Evil Revelations
on Wii U. If Capcom keeps going like this, we might actually get the sequel to
Resident Evil 4
that it deserved. After that, I'll be enjoying
Super Metroid
on the Wii U Virtual Console, and maybe some more
System Shock 2
on Steam.
Jeremy Duff | senior staff writer | Twitter @duff3c
I will be spending my weekend finishing off
before its launch, and boosting up my virtual card collection in
Prime World Defenders
. Between that and welcoming the true start of summer with the opening of the pool season, I should find a means of enjoying the extended weekend.
Charles Husemann | editor-in-chief | Twitter @chusemann
I'm going off into the woods for the weekend so it's going to be nothing but iPad games like
Temple Run 2
Bookworm Heroes
, and
Jetpack Joyride
. I'll also be playing fun outdoor games like "Which kinds of snakes are poisonous again?" "No, I thought you packed that," and "WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? OH GOD, WHY DID I WATCH ALL THE FRIDAY THE 13TH MOVIES THE WEEK BEFORE SPENDING A WEEKEND IN A CABIN IN THE WOODS?"

's alpha. My own post-toddler (is that an age? "Post-toddler"?), well, she gets to trippin' in the middle of the night sometimes, images of her dream world leaking over into her real world. Good times. Checking out this horror game played from the perspective of a two-year-old is probably my worst idea ever. Love the game's title though. Among the Sleep.

I'll be finishing up
for review, as well as the yearly playthrough of
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
that always throws off my backlog schedule. Other than that, I'll keep playing

A really useful feature of Health Explorer in Operations Manager is the ability to force the agent recalculate health of a particular monitor. One the most common uses for this is when you want to confirm that the action that you took actually fixed the problem. If you have implemented your management pack correctly all you need to do is select the unit monitor in health explorer and click on the "Recalculate Health" button.
In order to make this button actually force your monitor to recalculate health state, you must do some extra work in your management pack, or else nothing will happen. This is especially important if you are either creating a new monitor type or creating a script based monitor. Basically when creating a new monitor type or creating a script based monitor, unless you do some extra work "Recalculate Health" will not do much for you and the users of your MP.
