I already know that if Phaedrus joins the game, he'll want it, so I'll just skip him.
Or maybe just straight-up play a Lord of Dust.
Quote from: phaedrusxy on July 18, 2014, 10:32:03 AMOr maybe just straight-up play a Lord of Dust. But... But... You would be involved in the stuff directly. You wouldn't be the master manipulator anymore
Handling massive army battles and huge battlefields? No thanks. Things are getting a bit crazy conceptually as it is, and no one's even rolled their character yet.
The idea isn't dead, but I recently started the process of taking classes for a graduate degree, so I'm not going to have as much time going forward. Plus, I just started a different PbP game and that'll take up a good bit of time. Once I establish whether I can keep that game moving, I'll revisit this one.

It's Obama, Not the American People, Who Won't Listen
You have to give President Barack Obama credit for one thing: consistency. Nothing is ever his fault. Nothing will ever be his fault. Faulting Fox News and the American people, on the other hand, now that's a different story.
Obama's Disconnects and Delusions
President Obama, in Greece, said world leaders should learn from the U.S. presidential election and pay attention to the public's fears and frustration about the economy. Why? He never has.
If We Say We Want Inclusiveness, Let's Mean It and Practice It
I am uplifted by Tuesday's presidential election results because I believe we have a good chance to start turning things around in the country for the better, from economic issues to social issues and matters of national security and the rule of law.
Media Bias Is One Thing; Its Complicity Is Another
We keep reading that if Donald Trump's personal issues weren't sucking up all the media oxygen, his campaign might get more traction against Hillary Clinton from the WikiLeaks disclosures, but is that really true?
Dangerous Collusion
I've never been much of a conspiracy theorist, but I don't know how reasonable people can fail to recognize the overt collusion of the Obama administration, the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Party and the liberal media to shield Hillary Clinton from accountability for her many misdeeds and abundant corruption.
Still Voting for Trump; Must Defeat Clinton
Each passing day, this presidential election becomes more distasteful, but that doesn't relieve me of my duty to do what I believe is right.
Kaine Reveals Emptiness of Democratic Policies
Because of his stellar debate performance, some think Mike Pence was positioning himself for a presidential run in 2020. But if likability still matters, it's likelier that Tim Kaine was taking himself out of the 2020 running.
Unorthodox Thoughts About the Unorthodox Debate
I realize my biases probably keep me from assessing debates as objectively as some, but I still must dissent a bit from the conventional wisdom on Monday's Trump-Clinton contest.
Clinton and Obama, First Heal Yourselves on Race
Hillary Clinton is the worst kind of political animal, one who will exploit anything for political gain, distort facts and shift her positions at will for votes, significantly more than your garden-variety pandering politician.
Political Correctness Doesn't Only Threaten Speech
Many, including me, have lamented that political correctness, especially on university campuses, is undermining free speech.
Never-Trumpers vs. Reluctant Trumpers
Are you as sick as I am of seeing the tedious finger-pointing between never-Trumpers and certain Republicans who have decided — many reluctantly — to vote for Donald Trump?
Trump Created an Opening; He'd Better Drive Through It
The stars are finally aligning for a significant shift toward Donald Trump in this presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton is rightfully under siege. The polls have already narrowed, and Trump hit home runs — at least triples — in Mexico City and Phoenix.
Karma for the Clintons at Last?
Hold on; we may finally be getting some fireworks in this lackluster presidential campaign — as the Clinton Foundation scandal seems to be gathering steam.
Obama, the Worst President Ever, Except Maybe for Hillary
It's one thing for "Never Trump" Republicans to criticize Donald Trump, but Democrats, the liberal media and pedestal-perched professors who have enabled President Obama and now support Hillary Clinton have no standing to do so.
Hillary Would Give Us a Disastrous Third Obama Term
When it comes to unity, the Democrats talk a good game — but in the end they promote disunity because their electability depends on dividing society into groups and inciting anger, resentment and distrust.
Bernie Is a Mainstream Democrat
People often make fun of Bernie Sanders and his supporters, but with all this levity, we may be underestimating the seriousness of this political movement and what it signifies concerning our ongoing struggle for liberty. At first, no one took | Read More »
OK, Hillary, Have Fun Defending Obama's Record
Some Republicans are disillusioned with their party's nominee, but imagine how rank-and-file Democrats must feel. Their presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton, not only is exceedingly unappealing in her own right but also seeks to fulfill Barack Obama's third term and must | Read More »
Encouraged by the Pence Pick
I believe that Donald Trump was smart to pick Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to be his running mate. All things considered, it's an encouraging development, whether Trump picked him because he truly wanted him or he did so at the | Read More »
Obama, Clinton and Race Exploitation
Hillary Clinton, exploiting the venue of her appearance in Springfield, Illinois — where Abraham Lincoln warned against "a house divided" — told America that Donald Trump is not fit to lead in times of racial tension. This is rich, considering | Read More »
Obama's Divisive Double Standards
President Obama's knee-jerk reaction to the Dallas shootings brings into clear relief his biases and double standards on racially or religiously motivated violence. Have we ever had a president as blinded by his ideology and as oblivious or dismissive about | Read More »

Leather Basics, Care & Cleaning
Leather Basics, Care & Cleaning
Leather Basics
You can expect many years of enjoyment from your leather furniture due to its comfort and durability. Leather molds to a form, but will not stretch out of shape. It conforms to the body shape and becomes more comfortable with each use. Only leather ages so gracefully, becoming more supple and beautiful through its years of use when properly cared for.
Leather is an enduring material. Since it is a natural material, leather breathes which means that it can absorb 15 percent of its own weight in humidity and releases it again. This process is called transpiration. Leather also has excellent temperature adaptation. It regulates temperature to what is nearest. Air moves through leather freely, while vinyl and synthetic backed fabrics can trap air.
Leather has very tight and strong fibers this is derived from the three-dimensional weave structure of leather. This feature prevents the penetration or bonding of dust mites, animal hair, and smoke. Leather is not only hypoallergenic but also flame resistant. Because of its strength and elasticity leather has a high ripping resistance with over 200 pounds of pull needed to rip the leather. This gives leather a great advantage over fabrics and is why people around the world choose leather as their material of choice for shoes, handbags, clothing, and furniture.
The Natural Characteristics of Leather
Premium aniline-dyed leather displays subtle variations of color across the surface of the hide. When the hide is cut and sewn together, care is taken to attempt to match adjacent pieces, but subtle color differences may occur. These are not signs of poor quality; in fact, they highlight the unique and natural quality of premium leather, left unmasked by opaque dyes and varnishes.
Premium leather hides used for upholstering furniture exhibit slightly non-uniform surface qualities, depending on the area of the hide from which they were cut. Pigmented-dyed leathers are buffed and embossed to obscure these natural texture characteristics. Variations in texture are not flaws and will not affect leather durability. These variations are unique and should be embraced for they tell the story from where hide originated.
Common Surface Variations
Smooth to the touch, these rub marks may accept dye with a slight variation to the surrounding area.
Natural folds highlight unique grain patterns.
Barbed-wire scratches and deeper rubs create organic surface texture and one-of-a-kind authentic leather character. These marks do not affect the durability of the hide.
Top Grain and Split Grain Leather
Top Grain - The outermost layer of the hide that is left after splitting of the hide into layers. It is the strongest, softest and most breathable part of the hide. It is also the part of the hide that will show the life of the hide through natural markings.
Split Grain - The innermost layers of the hide left after splitting. They are weaker, stiffer and less breathable than top grain leather. These are usually put on the sides and the back part of leather furniture.
How to Recognize Various Types of Leather
Cleaning Code "A"
Aniline is the finest leather available, always made from premium quality, full top grain hides (the surface of a full-grain hide has not been mechanically altered). Aniline is any leather that receives its entire color solely from transparent aniline dyes and whose grain retains its original state. Natural markings and characteristics are exhibited. No topical treatments or pigments are used in determining the color of the leathers.
Identifying Aniline Leather:
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- Aniline is absorbent, to test, place a drop of water on the leather in an inconspicuous area, it will absorb into the leather and darken, but dry invisible.
- Lightly scratch the surface to see if it leaves a lighter color mark. If it scratches to a light color, it is Aniline. This is not the only test because some Nubuck Leathers will also do this.
Characteristics and Expectations
- Soft and supple to the touch.
- A rich patina develops with time enhancing the appearance of the leather.
- Healed scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, brands, and scratches are unique characteristics and will be visible. More likely to fade or stain.
- Color variation and shading difference from hide to hide and even within the hide. This is not a sign of poor quality; in fact, they highlight the unique and natural quality of premium leather.
- Cleans best when used with a UNITERS Natural Leather Care Kit, Never use detergents, soaps or chemicals to clean the surface.
Cleaning Code "P"
Semi-aniline Leathers offers the best of both worlds. They have the soft "buttery" feel of Pure Anilines and all of the protection and cleanability of Protected Leathers. Semi-Aniline dyed leathers have been both dyed through and have a thin finishing layer and/or pigment finish on the surface. Semi-Aniline leather is Full Grain displaying the leathers full range of natural markings. They offer a combination of the softness and feel of full aniline leather with the protective benefits of a surface finish. By dyeing the leather through before the final thin top coating is applied, a very even coloration is achieved with only a thin layer of finish. Thus the leather remains softer because it is not necessary to apply a thick top coating. Semi-Anilines have a higher resistance to UV, Water, and Soil over Pure Aniline.
Identifying Semi-Aniline Leather:
- Some furniture comes with a label attached in an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- Aniline is absorbent Semi-Aniline is more resistant to absorption. To test, place a drop of water on the leather in an inconspicuous area, it should remain on the surface but after an extended period of time will absorb into the leather.
- Lightly scratch the surface to see if it leaves a lighter color mark. If it scratches to a light color, it is Aniline. This is not the only test because some Nubuck Leathers will also do this.
Characteristics and Expectations
- Healed scars and scratches are slightly visible within hides.
- Soft and supple to the touch.
- The hides wear well in time and use.
- Never use detergents, soaps or chemicals to clean the surface, as they may damage the leather.
- Semi-Aniline is cleaned best using our UNITERS Natural Leather Care Kit.
Cleaning Code "A"
Unlike most leathers today, Pull-Up Leathers are impregnated with natural oils and waxes, not heavily coated with paints and pigments. The oils and waxes used in the finish also give the leather a characteristic called "Pull-Up". The Pull-Up is enhanced as the leather is stretched and pulled during the upholstery process and provides even more beautiful shading and unique, subtle coloration. This process allows the scars, scratches, and wrinkles that occur naturally on the leather hides to show through the finish.
Identifying Pull-Up Leather:
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- The best way of identifying Pull-Up leather is to lightly scrape a fingernail in a hidden area, a scratch much lighter in color will appear. Scratches can be easily removed by using UNITERS Waxon Leather Care.
Characteristics and Expectations
- Greatly desired patina comes from natural body oils.
- Coloration will vary throughout the hide.
- Fading can occur if exposed to direct sunlight.
- Never use detergents, soaps or chemicals to clean the surface, as they will tend to remove natural oils in the leather.
- Pull-Up Leathers require very little maintenance. In fact, most surface scratches can be removed simply by rubbing them with your fingertips. The warmth of your hand releases the natural oils, causing the marks to disappear.
- Cleans best with UNITERS specialty kits such as; UNITERS Waxon Leather Care kit for Wax Pull-Up and UNITERS Oleosa Leather Care kit for Oil Pull-Up.
Cleaning Code "P"
Also called finished, full finished, semi-aniline, protected, corrected, painted or pigmented. These leathers have combined the best aspects of a natural leather and tannery technology to create a product that is more uniform in appearance and color due to pigments that are applied to the surface. Protected leathers are the most common leathers and for most consumers, the most practical. Unlike aniline leathers, you can cover and color the damaged area with pigments. The pigments actually create a film on top of the leather covering up the actual surface.
Identifying Protected Leather
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- Lightly scratch the surface to see if it leaves a lighter color scratch mark. If it does not scratch to a lighter color (this means the color remains the same), then this is Protected Leather.
- The surface should have some sort of sheen to it. It is like looking at wood that has a lacquer finished compared to a wipe-on oil treatment. If you wet the area of a Protected Leather, the water should stay on top of the finish and should not darken the leather.
Characteristics and Expectations
- Coloration will be consistent throughout the hide.
- Healed scars and scratches should be used in less visible areas (the outer back and arms).
- Due to a pigmented topcoat, serviceability, durability and cleanability are very good.
- Protected leathers wear consistently with time.
- Never use detergents, soaps or chemicals to clean the surface, as they may damage the leather.
- Protected leather is cleaned best using UNITERS Leather Care Kit.
Cleaning Code "N"
These are Aniline leathers that the surface has been brushed or sanded and have created a texture similar to velvet on leather. Brushing or Sanding breaks the surface and opens up the leather making it incredibly soft. The brushing also makes the leather even more absorbent than aniline leathers, this leather has the softest feel. Suede is the bottom or flesh side of a piece of leather and Nubuck is an effect that is done to the top or grain side. These leathers are also known as Chaps, Distressed, Reverse Suede and Bomber.
Identifying Nubuck Leather
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- The surface should have a texture similar to velvet. When moving your hand across the surface and if it leaves shading traces similar to the effect when you vacuum a carpet in one direction and then in another, it is Nubuck.
- Wet your finger and rub lightly on the surface. The surface will darken and also will dry to a slightly darker shade.
- For waxed surfaces, run an area of the leather with a sponge several times. This will remove the wax and let you see if the leather meets test 1 or 2 above.
Characteristics and Expectations
- Coloration will vary throughout the hide.
- Healed scars and scratches are unique characteristics and should be cut into the pattern.
- A luxurious feel along with a slight nap is to be expected.
- Nubuck is cleaned best using UNITERS Nubuck Care Kit.
Cleaning Code "PU" or "B"
Bicast leather (also known as Bycast leather, split leather or PU leather) is a split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed. Bicast was originally made for the shoe industry and adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product is cheaper than top grain leather and has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain but may not last as long as top grain leathers.
Identifying Bicast
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- Limited array of colors, primarily dark brown and black.
- Plastic-like, often an application of wax is applied to make Bicast feel softer.
- Glossy in nature.
- Due to the polyurethane bond, Bicast leather may have a chemical smell that may decrease over time.
Characteristics and Expectations
- This is the stiffest, least soft of all leathers
- Highly resistant.
- Stain resistant.
- No natural markings are visible.
- Water cannot easily penetrate the polyurethane film.
- Bicast will not develop a patina or become more supple over time.
- With constant use, the polyurethane layer will crack and split free of its backing.
- Bicast leather is cleaned best using UNITERS PU Care Kit.
Cleaning code P/F or W
Bonded leather or Reconstituted leather is a material made of varying degrees of genuine leather combined with other substances to give the appearance of leather at a reduced cost. Bonded leather can found in furniture, bookbinding, and various fashion accessories. Examples of products that are most commonly constructed with different varieties of "bonded leather" are diaries, art books, desk accessories, bags, chairs, and sofas.
There are different types of bonded leather, but the type being used on upholstered furniture today is a polyurethane or vinyl product backed with fabric and then a layer of latex or other material mixed with a small percentage of leather fibers in the product's backing material. The actual leather content of bonded leather upholstery is typically about 17%. None of it is contained in the surface of the bonded leather. The polyurethane surface is laminated to give it a leather-like texture.
Identifying Bonded Leathers or Reconstituted Leather
- Some furniture comes with a label attached to an inconspicuous location, this label may identify what type of leather you have.
- Limited array of colors, primarily dark brown and black.
- Plastic-like, often an application of wax is applied to make Bicast feel softer.
- Glossy in nature.
- Due to the polyurethane bond, Bonded leather or Reconstituted leather may have a chemical smell that may decrease over time.
Characteristics and Expectations
- This is the stiffest, least soft of all leathers
- Highly resistant.
- Stain resistant.
- No natural markings are visible.
- Water cannot easily penetrate the polyurethane film.
- Bonded leather or Reconstituted leather will not develop a patina or become more supple over time.
- With constant use, the polyurethane layer will crack and split free of its backing.
- Bonded leather or Reconstituted leather is cleaned best using UNITERS PU Care Kit.
General Leather Care
Proper care and preventative maintenance with UNITERS products are vital to the life of your leather furniture.
Position all leather seating at least two feet from heating sources. Prolonged exposure to heat dries out leather.
Leather fades when exposed to sunlight, so keep leather seating away from direct light sources such as windows, skylights, and open doors.
Vacuum or dust weekly. Use a clean, soft white cloth to clean your leather furniture. If using a vacuum cleaner, a soft brush attachment is best to prevent scuffing or scratching.
Practice preventative maintenance. Treat surfaces with the recommended UNITERS Cleaner, Conditioner or Protector to improve the leather's resistance to soiling. Give special attention to high-use areas such as seats, arms, and backs. Fully clean and re-protect your leather furniture every six months. Always pre-test in a hidden area first to test the results whenever possible.
Care Tips for Aniline and Protected Leathers
Extra precaution should be taken to keep Aniline Leathers away from direct sunlight as they are particularly sensitive to fading.
To dust, lightly dampen a soft cloth with Leather Master® Soft Cleaner and dust weekly. You will be able to fully remove dust particles from Aniline and Protected Leathers, making them easier to live with for dust-sensitive people.
Preventative Care:
- Apply Leather Master® Protection Cream to the surface to help resist staining and soiling. Regular use of this cream will significantly improve the cleanability of Aniline Leather and help prevent possible cracking of Protected Leather.
- Clean with Leather Master® Soft Cleaner every six months to remove dirt and body oils. After cleaning, apply Leather Master® Protection Cream to restore the protection level.
- UNITERS Natural Leather Care Kit is available for the cleaning and protection of aniline and protected leather in one convenient, easy to use kit.
Care Tips for Nubuck Leathers
- All Nubuck Leathers will fade from exposure to direct sunlight.
- Treat the surface with UNITERS Nubuck Eco-Protector to significantly improve its resistance to staining and soiling. Be sure to treat high-use areas like seats, arms, and backs.
- To pick up surface soils and restore the leather to its original look and feel use Leather Master® Nubuck Cleaning Cloth. Wrap the cloth around a soft dry sponge and rub in several directions.
- Use UNITERS Nubuck Cleaner on water-based stains. Apply the cleaner to a soft sponge and squeeze until you see a white foam. Using the sponge, work the foam gently into the area. Allow to dry, then use the Leather Master® Nubuck Cloth as the final step. For oil-based stains, use Leather Master® Degreaser.
- UNITERS Nubuck Leather Care Kit is available for cleaning and protection in one convenient, easy to use kit.
Stains And Spills
While leather initially repels most spills, they will be naturally absorbed if not treated properly. Blot any liquids immediately with a clean, white absorbent cloth or sponge, and then let air-dry. If a spill is absorbed, it will dissipate over time as the leather naturally diffuses the stain.
Problem Stains
- Oil and Grease: Naturally occurring oils from our hair and skin, and grease from oily foods can not only stain your leather, but over long periods of time can actually break down the color of leather. To remove most oil and grease stains use Leather Master® Degreaser.
- Ballpoint pen ink: If discovered within 5-7 days, ballpoint pen can be easily removed with Leather Master® Ink Lifter.
- Bodily fluids: Most bodily fluids can be removed using Leather Master® Strong Cleaner
- Paint and nail polish: If discovered early enough, small paint spills and nail polish can be removed using Leather Master® Strong Cleaner.
- Mould & Mildew: Leather Master® Mold Cleaner is a specially formulated detergent that penetrates and cleans mold and mildew from within the leather. This product also eliminates odors caused by mold and mildew.
- Dye Transfer: Specialized cleaning is needed to remove dye or color transfer such as blue jean dye transfer, newspaper print transfer, shoe polish, lipstick, chewing gum or markers especially on light colored leather. Leather Master® Dye Transfer Remover is specially designed to address these issues. Light colored leather can be cleaned and protected to prevent dye transfer with UNITERS Light Colored Leather Kit (not suitable for medium or dark colored leather, do not use on suede, nubuck .
- Spew, Spue, or Fat Spew: Spew refers to the natural fats that migrate or "spew" from the inside of leather to the surface. Spew on the surface of leather looks like a milky film, haze or small white dots. Though rare, it is most often seen in Aniline leathers. It may be wiped away with a cloth, but will reappear soon after. Applying Leather Master® Spew Remover to the surface wipes away the spew and absorbs into the leather to lock in the remaining fat liquors inside the leather to prevent the reappearance of spew.
- Odors: Unwanted odors not associated with the natural odor of leather can be eliminated with Leather Master Odor Remover, It is not a perfume but a true odor neutralizer.
- Color loss: Depending on the severity and the length of time a stain has affected the leather an application of color products may be necessary. Color loss from fading due to overexposure to sunlight may also be restored using UNITERS color products.
UNITERS provides color to match leather from hundreds of furniture manufacturers including; American Signature, Basset, Bradington Young, Craft Master, Flexsteel, Hancock & Moore, La-Z-Boy, Lexington Leather, Mitchell Gold, and USA Premium Leather to name a few.

As I mentioned last week, for many of our Pull implementation engagements, one question often comes up: "Should we fix all of the major issues in our process before we make the big switch to Pull?" The concern is that trying to overlay a new approach (particularly one that typically is accompanied by a reduction in inventory buffers) over an imperfect process creates a high risk for increased stock outs and a lower customer service level. Though this concern is certainly valid, we almost always recommend taking the plunge and implementing pull first.
Here's one reason why:
The notion that converting to Pull needs to be accompanied by a reduced inventory level is a falsehood. We typically recommend keeping overall inventory levels stable at first (though how this inventory is allocated is often changed). The switch to Pull is already a shock to the system. There is no reason to introduce a second shock. The inventory reductions will come soon enough, in a very identifiable and less-shocking manner.
Stay tuned for an even better reason next week.

So here it is ! It has not been grown fully yet but do to my deadline I needed to start finishing it off. In general i'm glad with the result ! and no contaminations as well ! Thank you for the amazing tips and tricks guys
Congratulations! It looks like a mycelium longboard
Wow. Impressive. How tough is it? Can it be used as a normal longboard? Congrats!
Yea it really looks awesome though ! And unfortunately not yet , the board hasn't been fully grown yet but it already looks quite steady so maybe if It had waited a bit longer it might have been usable i think !
@BabetteHendryckx run me through it once more? You are growing mycelium over a support shaped like a longboard, right? What is the support made of? Then, the idea is that the mycelium would densify, so that over time you get a longboard made mostly of mycelium? Is it something that you envision could go into production (even at a small scale), or more of a an art/science project, not intended for applications?
(Forgive the clueless questions, I'm no biotechnologist. If they are too annoying, ignore me, I will not take offense.)
Yea so i Used two shelves of triplex in the shape of a penny board in this case. As substrate I used a mix of hemp and straw 50/50 ratio. I prepared it in the normal way ( cooking and so one) en dan i started building some kind of sandiwch : a layer of mycelium - triplex- layer mycelium - triplex - layer mycelium.
Then i packed it in in cling film and made sure there was enough tension to keep the shape of the shelves :). I let that grow for like two weeks and then put it out of the cling film to continue growing until last week. At least I baked it off ( a bit to early but I didn't have any choice due to my deadline.
I think that if you would experiment more around strenght and so on, it will be possible to make a functional board though but my model is pure easthetically now at the moment
I think that if I had let it grown for a longer time it would have become stronger !
It is really cool. Thanks!
So I wanted to post what we discussed offline earlier here and also ping @Elise for some input. I'm thinking to make it usable, I'd get rid of the fibres. The interface between the rigid but flexible planks and the not so flexible and porous mycelium composite, will always cause problems and cracking I think.
So I'd use the mycelium only as a glue to grow planks together. Perhaps space the planks with eg. sheets of wet jute in between, to increase oxygen transfer. The planks have a large surface area, which is ideal for a strong connection.
This is where it gets interesting: doing (bio) material science. I wonder if @trythis has any reflection to offer....
Waw! Amazing work indeed! Congrats for the results (and the patience it takes!)
thank you !
@BabetteHendryckx are you planing to optimise it?
Indeed as suggested by @winnieponcelet use longer fibres instead of the small chopped ones.Here are some fibre mats used in the composite industry: http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/fabric-and-reinforcement/natural-flax-and-jute-fibres/dry-flax-and-jute-fibresUse the same method as for those composites (vacuum pressing for example) but instead of resin you have the mycelium.
Yeah I might try to optimise it this summer !

In this paper we report for the first time on a mixed complex between the cationic porphyrin 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra-N-methyl-pyrydinium-p-il porphyrin (TMPyP) and a new metal phthalocyanine with four 16-membered diazadithia macrocycles (denoted here as Pc16), in order to obtain an active complex with an intense absorption on the lower energy side of the visible spectrum and with a higher sensitivity in photodynamic therapy of cancer. The dimerization constant for Pc16 and also the ratio between the oscillator strengths for monomeric and dimeric forms of this compound, were evaluated. The ratio between these oscillator strengths was 2.01 showing a certain dimerization process. The Job mathematical method allowed the establishment of the stoichiometry and the formation constants for the heteroaggregates between the porphyrin and the phthalocyanine (a diad between one phthalocyanine molecule and one porphyrin molecule and a triad between two phthalocyanine molecules and only one porphyrin molecule). The coulombic attraction resulting from the π-π interaction of the two highly conjugated macrocycles and from the interaction between the substituents, favors a face-to-face geometry.

Coffee Brown Granite is a rich dark brown stone with some characteristics close to tan brown, but with a colour which is far less red than the tan brown material. The background structure is charcoal to black, with coffee-coloured floral crystals adding the colour to give an overall effect of chocolate mocha brown. Due to the small-scale pattern it will not show dust and smears as badly as some of the blacks and will be a really practical yet stunning worktop for your kitchen. Our Indian natural granite stones slabs and tiles is very strong and durable stone and is composed of quartz and feldspar mixed with particles of mica.
These coffee brown granite slabs and tiles are used for decorating paths and walls and are offered at industry leading rates. This is dark/light brown granite stone with or without white specks. It is available in tiles and slab form, cut in any shape or size. These slabs and tiles are available in polished and swan surface finishes. It is popularly used as architectural stone for interior and exterior walls, floors and monumental stone etc. Many forms of brown granite can be extremely dense, hard stones. These tiles should be properly cleaned after use so that they retain their beauty for a long period of time.

Miscarriage Poems - Afterlife
The following miscarriage poem was contributed by a lady who wishes to remain anonymous but who sadly suffered an early miscarriage very recently.
In the afterlife, when I am reunited with the family and friends who have gone before me, will I recognise you there amongst them? Will you recognise me?
Will you be young? As young as you were when I loved you and lost you? Will you be older as if you had actually had a chance to live a life outside of me? Will you be a fully-developed, thinking, reasoning being with likes and dislikes and ideas and concerns? (Does one get a chance to develop in this way when one dies after five weeks of existence?) Will we have a chance to get to know each other then, in the afterlife? Will you be regretful at having missed out on life here on earth like the rest of your family? Or happy to have avoided all the pain and suffering? Will you have trouble relating to us? Will we have trouble relating to you?
Or will we never meet? Will our only knowledge of each other have been the brief few days I had to love you before you knew you even existed?

I borrowed this from ABC News.
After years of declining to discuss his sexuality, CNN's Anderson Cooper has revealed that he's gay.
The 45-year-old CNN anchor came out in an email to the Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan that was published on Sullivan's blog this morning. Cooper was responding to an Entertainment Weekly article about how gay public figures are increasingly coming out in more restrained ways than in the past.
"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud," Cooper writes.
Cooper explains that he kept his sexuality private "for professional reasons" but had "begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle." Instances of gay bullying made him "believe there is value in making clear where I stand."
While Cooper doesn't go into the specifics about romantic relationships, he writes, "I am also blessed far beyond having a great career. I love, and I am loved."
He concludes his email, "I still consider myself a reserved person and I hope this doesn't mean an end to a small amount of personal space. But I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my reporter's shield of privacy."
In 2008, Out magazine famously featured Cooper's face on the cover of its "Glass Closet" issue. (Subtitle: "Why the Stars Won't Come Out and Play.") In 2005, he defended his decision not to discuss his private life, telling New York Magazine, "I understand why people might be interested. But I just don't talk about my personal life."
Cooper, a former ABC News correspondent, anchors CNN's primetime news show "Anderson Cooper 360°." He also hosts a daytime talk show, "Anderson."
I like Anderson Cooper. I liked him before he said he was gay too. He is a fine journalist and he is adorable. I do think it is important for public figures to come out. I do not think it is a must and I don't hold it against them if they choose not to do so. But, I like to see public faces say "Yea, me too." It just does something, you know? It just says we are here and we are everywhere. Some people need to see that in their faces. Homophobes love to pretend they don't know someone they love is gay or lesbian. So, once they have no choice to to acknowledge they are gay, they have to come to the conclusion — it doesn't really matter. They already like, love or respect them, so why would it suddenly change?

Two Little Girls: Ava & Sophia
Let me share a quick little story with you. (Now, big sister) Ava was first put in front of my camera when she was only a few months old... I'm talking, like, she wasn't even able to walk yet! But here it is, about two years later, Ava has become a big sister and now her baby sister, Sophia is part of the LMPav Photography family! I cannot explain enough how much it means to photograph families over and over again throughout the years and watch their entire family grow - one by one. It was such a delight photographing Ava when she was only a few months old and it made it even more special now that Sophia is here! I hope you all enjoy these photos of big sister, Ava and little sister, Sophia! They're truly adorable and put up with the scorching heat!
They both have grandma wrapped around their fingers! It's adorable!
Even though the session was cut short, I still had a great time photographing Ava & Sophia. It was amazing to see how much Ava grew & to finally meet sweet Sophia! I cannot wait to come back to Florida and photograph these beauties again once they get a little older! Thank you, again, Sheila for allowing me the honors of capturing memories of your granddaughters!

Internet Travel Monitor - Marketing, Research & TechAdvertisers and publishers are under constant pressure to better target, deliver and track their messages to consumers. But many consumers feel bombarded by the ad experience.
July 12, 2017
As Ad Blocker Use Grows, Publishers Face New Challenges
Evolving strategies for dealing with this innovation
More than a quarter of US internet users will block ads this year, eMarketer estimates, up from just under 16% in 2014. That's a sizeable chunk of internet users, though growth is slowing down. eMarketer defines an ad blocking user as an internet user who goes online at least once a month on a device with an ad blocker installed.
"For now, the vast majority of those devices are still desktop and laptop computers, at least in the US - though that's beginning to shift," said eMarketer analyst Nicole Perrin, author of a new report, "Facing Up to Ad Blocking: How Publishers, Advertisers and Their Digital Media Partners Are Responding."
Just under nine in 10 ad blocking users block ads via desktop or laptop, which translates to 24.0% of US internet users. By the end of this year, more than a third of US ad blockers will block on their smartphone, translating to 9.5% of internet users.
Publishers are using a variety of strategies to fight ad blocking, from trying to convince users to stop doing it to focusing on improving the poor user experiences that led to it in the first place.
Appeals to readers' conscience, goodwill and sense of economics could be considered the lowest level of direct confrontation of ad blocking.
Publishers set up technology that allows them to detect whether a visitor has an ad blocker enabled - the tech is not perfect, but it's good. The publishers then serve a message to those users in hopes of guilting them to either turn off their ad blocker entirely or at least whitelist that publisher. These messages appeal to consumers' sense of fairness and their understanding that ads are how publishers pay the bills.
There's little data on the effectiveness of such appeals, but research suggests users are willing to turn off ad blockers or whitelist sites under some circumstances. For example, 18% of the ad blocking users in the US, UK, Germany and France surveyed by HubSpot and Adblock Plus in June 2016 said they whitelisted sites that served what they considered a "reasonable and appropriate" ad experience.
A stronger step some publishers are taking is to set up ad block walls, which start out like appeals. But instead of pleading with users to stop blocking ads, walls notify users that unless they do whitelist the site, they won't be able to access any of its content.
Ad blocking users have noticed more of these walls popping up around the web, which may indicate that they are working for publishers. But research suggests most people simply go elsewhere when faced with the barriers. PageFair, which is a provider of anti-ad-blocking solutions that include ad block walls and appeals, found that 74% of US ad blocking users polled in November 2016 leave websites when faced with an ad block wall. Perhaps surprisingly, younger respondents were much less likely than older ones to be turned away by walls.

Chavez Tied for Fifth Place at Duck Invitational
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Freshman Sam Chavez is among a group of four golfers tied for fifth place after day one of the Duck Invitational in Creswell, Ore. Over the first 36 holes of competition, Chavez carded a one-over-par 145 to lead the way for the Razorback golf team. Arkansas sits in fifth position in the team standings heading into Tuesday's final round.
Chavez is joined in the top 20 by junior Jason Turner who is tied for 16th place. He and six other golfers are four over par through two rounds. Turner posted a 74 in each round Monday. Arkansas' third golfer is Andrew Landry at six over par. The Razorback junior carded a 76 and 74 in the first and second round, respectively.

Tips for Eliminating Stress
We as a whole experience stress some time, stress is that awkward feeling being under pressure and not having the smallest idea with respect to whether you will come through and accomplish what you need. Stress is a common thing of present day life and there is no sign of this changing anytime sooner. There are a couple of things you can do to manage stress that will be featured in this article.
Meditation is one of the most effective ways you can use to manage your stress, meditation involves focusing on the now. The purpose of meditation is to guarantee you experience what is going on around then without controlling it and this is extremely useful in mitigating stress. By leaving something alone, you allow it to work itself out and go without clumping it down which will influence it to remain longer. Meditation is additionally imperative in helping you back off and listen in to your thoughts. Calming your thought is imperative since you will have the capacity to settle on good choices even when you are under stress. By meditating you will be able to have a positive outcome no matter how your internal state.
Exercising is additionally an essential way that can enable you to deal with the stress you have, when you are under pressure your body tends to coil and tighten as though they are prepared to go into any action. Stress usually stimulated old fight, fight or freeze response that is normally generated by our lower brain. Exercise is useful for stress since it will give a way where the nervous energy will go. Every time you are stressed, you can take a walk, or hit the gym or you can do some physical exercise and you will find that it will be very helpful.
Drinking water is furthermore basic in the management of stress, the brain is normally 85% water and when it is not suitably hydrated then it infers it won't work well. When you are stressed out your body will release a hormone called cortisol and when you drink water this hormone will be diluted thus diminishing a part of the effects of the hormone. Water is the most preferred liquid for stress management since it the purest fluid unlike caffeinated beverages that you will be required drinking more liquids to remove them from your body.
Therapy can likewise be a decent option for you to deal with your stress, when you are guided you will have an alternate point of view in the way you take a look at the world and this will help a considerable measure in dealing with your stress.

What a difference a week makes,
168 little hours.
What a difference a week makes,
and the difference is…me?
I have just returned from therapy and as you can probably tell it went very well. I bounced into the room like an over-excited Tigger and said 'I have been thinking.' Thirty minutes later I stopped talking and my therapist had an expression of equal parts pride and bewilderment. I know it is the nerd inside of me, but it makes me so proud when my therapist is proud of me. If I were Mutley, I would have asked for a medal.
Monday I was angry. Tuesday I thought. Wednesday I realised. The inside of my head has been a pretty interesting place for the past three days, which probably explains the verbal torrent that I unleashed as soon as I got into the office. I had a lot to say, and it was all good, which makes a lovely change.
I spoke about a line from 'The Tao of Pooh' which says 'Everything right now, is exactly as it should be.' This pretty much sums up the way I am seeing my life right now. It is a far cry from two weeks ago when I thought everything about me and what I was doing was terrible and going nowhere. I feel more at peace than I can remember for a long time. I am looking at my life and seeing the parts of the puzzle I have put in place, rather than the empty spaces left to be filled. They will get filled in time.
It was the first time in a while that I stopped doing and thinking and actually was. I could see all the projects I am working on slow down and stop in front of me, so that I was in control of them rather than me driving myself crazy chasing after everything. I think this was a mindfulness thing.
However, http://gaurichauhan.wordpress.com/ and http://bundleofcompulsions.wordpress.com/ do a much better job of explaining mindfulness than I can, and besides, it is their gig, so I won't step on their toes.
I was thinking about the idea of there being masks we all wear in different social situations and that the only person who knows or true face is ourselves. I asked my therapist, what if, due to depression or negative thoughts they can no longer see their true face? Like when a projector is out of focus on the screen and is all blurry. What if they can't see who they really are? How do they know who to be? I think about who I am meant to be in front of others a lot. I often end up thinking I was the wrong person whatever I chose.
There is a part from a documentary about Peter Sellers that says he did not know how to be in different situations. With his kids he was joking Cockney Peter, with others he was Posh Peter etc. I think I have been doing this for far too long. Or I had been until last night. I was in a food tasting session and I was making little jokes about a drink being the colour of a pale sunset and defending chicken in white sauce (not white wine sauce, just white sauce) because it was not the foods fault that it was so bland looking. People laughed. I was polite. I felt more like myself than I have done in ages. I actually thought 'Oh, so this is who I am.'
This brought me to my last worry. What if by being myself, which is essentially an optimistic who is very in touch with his inner child (not childish I may point out) that people who are more serious think I am flippant and not taking life seriously? We decided that in the end, it was only their opinion and I could take it or leave it and not let it affect me if I did not think it had some validity. I still want to be a nice person, so even if I am being myself I don't want to be a dick about it.
At the end, my therapist asked if I needed to carry on with therapy and where we were going with the therapy if I continued? I replied 'Everything right now is exactly as it should be, so lets not worry about what it should be in the future and see what it turns out to be if we just let it.' She was happy with that. That makes two of us.
Happily yours,

Great day for Podcasts
Today was a busy podcast day with the release of two new podcasts by some very famous tech people.
First the old 'The ScreenSavers' crew created a reunion podcast which ended in discussions of reviving TSS online in some form maybe with video conferencing software being introduced with OS X Tiger. It was great to hear them all together again and to catch up on what they have been doing since TechTV ended. TROTSS.COM - The Revenge of The *Beeeep*
Also Phil Torrone who first started podcasting with Engadget.com is now podcasting with Make magazine. I have not listened to this podcast yet but his Engadget podcasts inspired discussion and creativity with technology, so I know it will be good.

Who are we?
Seniors On Call is a venture that has Industry Institute Interaction as its underlying principle. We aspire to be a bridge between industry and institute. Our work is directed towards our aim of providing a platform for both to expand their reach into the other.
Our focus on the institute front is to help students through a tricky phase of their campus life, placements. We strive to slay all demons a student may have in his or her head regarding campus placements. With a team that has seen recruitment from both sides of the table, we are able to accomplish our goal of preparing a candidate to face the various challenges that a campus recruitment process can throw at them.
We realize that not all students are the same. While one student may be academically brilliant, another may be the master of street-smartness or may possess exceptional communication skills. Our programme involves one on one interactions with every student. While doing that, we help them portray what they are best at, rather than following the herd.
Interacting personally with every student helps us understand their strengths and weaknesses better, which eventually helps us guide them better.
The essence of our institute side programme is the feedback that we provide to students after each activity, helping them work smartly towards achieving their goal. The team, being from a similar age group as those of the students, helps them relate to us much better and get their concerns, those which they'd not be comfortable discussing with peers or teachers, allayed.
We are really excited with what we are doing and it is extremely heartening to see institutes from all over the country showing so much enthusiasm, cooperation and support for us.
We are growing by the day and making progress on both the industry as well as institute front. Every association, with either industry or institute, takes us closer to our goal of being a bridge between the two.
Seniors On Call welcomes everyone who wants to be a part of our network, in whatever capacity or role possible. That you have fun doing it, is our responsibility!

Communicating in Times of Crisis

Communication in times of crisis can be a challenge, however, there is an appropriate way to handle the situation and an inappropriate way. Here are some of the basic rules of thumb when experiencing a crisis with your business.
Everyone would like to believe that nothing bad will ever happen to them, and for business owners the thought of a potential crisis may not seem like a threat that they need to address. However, in today's age of technology it it not hard to imagine that you may find out about a problem through social media, especially with the growth of Twitter and Facebook. Due to this reality, it is imperative that businesses arm themselves with an appropriate means of communication for dealing with potential crises.
Whether it be disastrous weather, a health emergency or vendor delays that impact your product delivery times, it is important to master successful communication within your business. A communication plan is necessary fro reaching out to the public, and it is the way in which you will communicate with, and inform key groups while you are dealing with the crisis internally.
When devising a commmunications plan, it is important to keep a few questions in mind:
What kinds of crises can you expect?
Even though unexpected things do happen, it is important to cover as amny bases as possible so that you are prepared and have a plan in place.
Who is in charge?
Put together a crisis team and give each individual a responsibility that they are to handle in the evemt of a crisis. For example, assign someone with credibilty in the company to act as a spokesperson to customers. The last thing you want to do is waste time trying to figure out who will deal with the mess at hand, especially when early communication is key.
What is the strategy?
A good strategy starts with dealing with the crisis directly. Get information out to the public early and continue to give updates often through your social media outlets or website. Never duck the issue! It is important to show your customers that you are trustworthy, honest and take responsibilty, even in the most difficult situati
What is your message?
When a crisis hits, it goes without saying that themost important part of your plan is the message that you will communicate with the public. Before you devise the message, you must first consider the facts of the situation, and then determine whish of those facts are appropriate to share with the audience. Do not withdraw from sharing any pressing information for the sake of looking dishonest, but do reflect on any restraints. There are a few key messages you may consider when putting together your plan...
A concise explanation of the situation that has taken place
Recognize the feelings of those around you, even if they are angry or negative
Do not become defensive and/or use potentially offensive language
Express heartfelt concern for customers, employees, and any other groups that may have been affected
If necessary, provide an appropriate apology and a statement that the company takes responsibility for the situation
Provide a follow plan for what stakeholders can expect in the near and distant future
Although we all hope that no misfortunes befall our businessm it is best to be prepared in case of an emergency. Remember to act professionally and openly throughout the process, your customers and employees will thank you.
