text: In an important contribution to Cold War scholarship, Bill (Government/Coll. of William and Mary) traces the foreign policy career of ``wise man'' George Ball from the 1940s until his death in 1994. Bill briefly outlines Ball's upbringing as the intellectually precocious son of a midwestern oil executive, his largely dysfunctional marriage and relationship with his two sons, and his role as counsel to the wartime Lend-Lease program and the US Strategic Bombing Survey, among other aspects of his long career. Avoiding the sweep of a full biography, however, the author focuses primarily on Ball's policy preoccupations and accomplishments: his concern with European political integration, his strong involvement in Democratic Party affairs (especially in his friend Adlai Stevenson's two presidential campaigns), and his service in the State Department under presidents Kennedy and Johnson. The author analyzes in detail Ball's role in several major foreign-policy case studies: European integration (he and friend Jean Monnet did more than anyone else to bring the European Community into being), US involvement in the Congo and Vietnam, and crises in Cuba, Cyprus, and the Middle East. Ball was often eerily prescient. He strongly favored British entry into the Common Market decades before it happened, advocated a tunnel between Britain and France before the ``Chunnel'' was on anyone's drawing board, and vigorously opposed US involvement in Vietnam as a disaster almost from its inception. Many criticized Ball, however, for remaining loyal to the administration during the deepening Vietnam crisis despite his strong feelings against the war; he resigned quietly in September 1966 and refrained from publicly criticizing Johnson for the escalating bombing campaign. After leaving the State Department, Ball continued to exert influence as a private citizen on such issues as the Middle East crisis. Bill concludes that because of his extraordinary prudence, characterized by pragmatic idealism, Ball was the quintessential American statesman, one whose career stands as a model for 21st- century statecraft.

The facial vein (anterior facial vein) commences at the side of the root of the nose, and is a direct continuation of the angular vein.
It lies behind the external maxillary (facial) artery and follows a less tortuous course. It runs obliquely downward and backward, beneath the Zygomaticus and zygomatic head of the Quadratus labii superioris, descends along the anterior border and then on the superficial surface of the Masseter, crosses over the body of the mandible, and passes obliquely backward, beneath the Platysma and cervical fascia, superficial to the submaxillary gland, the Digastricus and Stylohyoideus. It unites with the posterior facial vein to form the common facial vein, which crosses the external carotid artery and enters the internal jugular vein at a variable point below the hyoid bone. From near its termination a communicating branch often runs down the anterior border of the Sternocleidomastoideus to join the lower part of the anterior jugular vein.
The facial vein has no valves, and its walls are not so flaccid as most superficial veins.

In his debut mystery, Grant mines a culture of retirees living the good life on an isolated island in southwest Florida.
The novel opens in the village of Saint James City on tiny Pine Island near Florida's western coast. This is no Margaritaville; in fact, the average age is well north of 60. There are no beaches here, and most people are out of the restaurants and bars and into their beds by 11 p.m. The narrator is retired banker Jim Story, who's happily married to retired banker Jill. Between their infrequent travels and visits to grandchildren, they enjoy a relaxed lifestyle of seafood dinners, afternoon cocktails with friends and lots of fishing. However, their peaceful existence is disturbed when one of Story's former banking colleagues, Javier Hernandez, comes to visit, goes fishing on a boat and is later found dead—shot between the eyes. It turns out that Javier was a descendant of a former Spanish police officer who served in Cuba in the early 20th century, and his inexplicable murder sets Story on a quest to find connections between American political and financial interests in Cuba, a century-old war crime, Spanish peacekeepers and a cache of gold. As he digs deeper into the histories of wealthy and powerful figures, however, he makes dangerous enemies. The Storys eventually enlist the help of a retired military officer, Steve Fairchild, and his wife in identifying and hunting down the killer. All ends well back in St. James City, and the residents drink and dance in celebration of a crime solved. However, the novel's pace is as leisurely as a group of seniors after midnight; the plot meanders through detours and side roads and, as a result, loses steam along the way. It devotes many pages to tangential topics, such as an involved description of Salamanca, Spain; techniques for trimming palm trees; and the different flavors of Vienna sausages. Some of these deviations add color and context, but the dilatory pace and lackadaisical point of view reduce the impact of a story set in motion by a shocking murder.
An intriguing but overly detailed story of avarice and crime.

President Bush signed into law Tuesday a repeal of Clinton Administration regulations that set new workplace ergonomic rules to combat repetitive stress injuries. Bush said in a statement that the rules signed by former president Clinton were "unduly burdensome and overly broad."
"There needs to be a balance between and an understanding of the costs and benefits associated with federal regulations," Bush said. "In this instance, though, in exchange for uncertain benefits, the ergonomics rule would have cost both large and small employers billions of dollars and presented employers with overwhelming compliance challenges.
OSHA estimated that the new rules would have generated benefits of $9.1 billion a year for each of its first 10 years, and would have prevented 460,000 musculoskeletal disorders a year. The agency said employers pay $15 billion to $18 billion a year in workers' compensation costs as a result of such disorders.
Organized labor and many Democrats criticized the Republican-controlled Congress for repealing the Clinton regulation. The American Trucking Assns., however, was one of several lobbying groups that had been trying to get the rules overturned.
"In the absence of government regulation, the business of trucking has made significant progress on its own," said ATA president and CEO Walter B. McCormick Jr. "This industry should not be penalized for its good-faith efforts by an unscientific, unfair and unfeasible regulation."
It was the first time Congress invoked the Congressional Review Act of 1996, which allows the body to overturn executive branch regulations, and Bush said the act was properly applied.

Politicians Refuse to Cross UC Worker Picket Lines
Political luminaries are refusing to cross a picket line at UC Berkeley graduation ceremonies this week.
State Assemblymember Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles) was a no-show at the campuswide convocation Wednesday, where he was scheduled to give the keynote address.
Howard Dean won't attend the commencement he signed up to front Saturday for the Boalt Hall School of Law, according to UC Berkeley spokesperson Marie Felde. She said State Senator Liz Figueroa (D-Fremont) is also planning to back out on her scheduled appearance at a UC Berkeley graduation ceremony.
Richard Stapler, a spokesperson for Nunez, said Thursday, "He of course was planning to attend, but he does not cross picket lines."
That announcement at Wednesday's commencement inspired graduating students to cheer. UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau stepped in for the assemblymember to give an impromptu speech.
Nunez, Dean and Figueroa are refusing to break the picket line staged by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299 (AFSCME), the union representing about 400 UC Berkeley custodians who have been battling university administration over compensation since November. Workers still have about two years left on a three-year contract.
AFSCME is demanding that the university offer competitive rates, said union organizer Debra Grabelle. According to a study conducted in November, a five-year veteran custodian at UC Berkeley earns about $12 an hour, compared with $18.30 an hour for a similar employee at the Peralta Community College District, she said.
"The university is dedicated to offering competitive wages at all levels of the university," countered UC Spokesperson Noel Van Nyhuis, pointing out that wage comparisons aren't necessarily fair because they fail to account for total compensation perks like health care and retirement benefits.
UC Berkeley spokesperson Felde said Assemblymember Nunez promised to appropriate additional funds for all the UC's lowest-paid employees, but union leaders rejected that offer.
Grabelle would not confirm or deny that. Instead, she said, "We're OK with the money coming from the state, but we can't stop our campaign until the workers see the money."
Maricouz Manzanita, a single mother with three children, has worked as a custodian for UC Berkeley for seven years. She takes home $1,600 a month, just enough to cover rent. The rest comes from child support or she racks up credit card bills.
"It's a lot of stress for us and our families," she said. "I can't even take my kids to the movies."
Manzanita hopes the politicians' refusal to cross the picket line will mount pressure on the UC to increase service worker pay.
"That was wonderful" what Nunez did, she said. "That means he respects us, he cares about what's going on.""

Epsom Salt for Diabetics
The number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes increases every year. There may be several benefits to using Epsom salt foot soaks as part of your daily routine. These may help to relieve foot pain, swelling and tension, as well as aiding in the regulation of insulin when used under a doctor's supervision.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Epsom salt is essentially magnesium sulfate, which can be very beneficial to your body. You need magnesium to help ensure you have proper muscle and nerve growth, as well as enzyme function. Though little research has been done on the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate on helping with the symptoms of diabetes, there may be some link to it helping with some of its side effects.
When Epsom salt is absorbed into the body through a foot soak or bath, it may help increase the effectiveness of insulin production. This could help your body regulate blood sugar levels. Blood sugar regulation is essential to reduce the risk of further health issues associated with diabetes. An Epsom salt foot bath may also help relieve tension, pain and swelling in the feet as well, which is often a symptom of diabetes.
Administering an Epsom salt foot soak is thought to be effective in aiding in the relief of some of the symptoms associated with diabetes. Add 1/2 cup Epsom salt to two gallons warm water. Using this soak daily may help reduce the severity of the problems with your feet, as well as aiding in insulin production issues associated with diabetes. Consult your physician before using Epsom salt to relieve symptoms.
Side Effects
Side effects are rare, but stop using Epsom salt if you start to develop an allergic reaction. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, throat closing or swelling of your tongue, lips or face. You may also notice lesser side effects, including upset stomach and diarrhea.
There has been little medical research done on the effectiveness of Epsom salt on assisting with relieving symptoms of diabetes. Discuss any medications you are taking as well as other health problems you may have with your doctor before using any form of Epsom salts.

I wish I had the Stampin' Up! stamp set Swell News, but since I don't I looked to see what else I had that might work and I think I may have pulled it off with this birdie stamp set.
I stamped the bird onto a scrap piece of designer series paper and my card sort of went from there. Since she doesn't know if the baby is a boy or girl just yet I wanted to use blue and pink on my card. My birdie image layer was cut using the labels framelits and my celery designer paper behind my image was scored using my simply score tool and then folded. I used tombow multi glue to adhere my certainly celery layer onto my white background layer.
I also added the small stamped flower and I placed it in the birdie's beak. The flower was stamped, colored, and cut out. I wanted to mention that I have dimensionals placed underneath my white image layer. There's also a small dimensional under the small flower.
My background is embossed using my perfect polka dots embossing folder and I left part of the bottom unembossed so that I would have a spot to stamp the rest of my sentiment. For my ribbon treatment I added a button with some twine tied through it and using a glue gun I glued it onto my ribbon knot.
Well, that's my second card for today, thanks for taking the time to stop by. I'm doing pretty well with my 100 cards in 100 days challenge- I'm almost half way there!

Sally Gunnell is one of Britains most popular female sportswomen of all time, and one of our most successful. She remains the only woman to hold the World, Commonwealth, European and Olympic titles simultaneously.
Sally was brought up in Essex and started her career as a long jumper and pentathlete. She became known as Chigwell's finest following her triumph in the 100m hurdles at the 1986 Commonwealth Games. Having won the gold medal in Edinburgh, her coach Bruce Longden persuaded Sally that her strength and stamina would be better suited to the 400m hurdles. Only two years later she set a British record for that event of 12.82 seconds.
Sally displayed huge talent her new event and went on to win the gold medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Only two years later at the 1992 Games Sally was up against Sandra Farmer-Patrick of the United Stated, who at the time was equal best in the world. Never the less, Gunnell's performance in Barcelona earned her the gold, in no small part due to her training under Longden.
Sally's injuries eventually forced her retirement from elite sport, but she continued to remain in the public eye, thanks to her TV career. She worked for the BBC through the late Nineties and early Noughties, covering athletics events from around the world.
Her passion for health and well being was a key component of her athletics success. She took her knowledge and experience in to the printed word, writing four influential books on the subject.

System conditions and welfare inequalities in children's services
This project will examine how the organisational and institutional context of statutory children's social care (CSC) in England contributes to patterns of inequality in the delivery of services.
Professor Bywaters' Nuffield-funded study found that there was strong evidence of welfare inequalities in CSC services, where a child's chances of being subject of a child protection plan or being in public care differs greatly according to indicators of social disadvantage. Previous work undertaken by Dr Hood indicates that the increasing use of child protection interventions to address demand for child welfare services has intersected with deprivation-related differences in intervention rates as well as Ofsted inspection outcomes.
The research team will build on the findings of these studies and will examine the organisational and institutional context of statutory CSC to establish how system conditions in children's social care are contributing to welfare inequalities.
In order to do this the research team will:
- Investigate the current evidence for system conditions using a combination of national datasets
- Gather and analyse information on individual pathways through the CSC system over a three year period, using case-level data from six English local authorities
Find out how senior practitioners and managers in statutory CSC services understand and interpret any patterns discovered in their statistics
The knowledge and awareness gained from this research will indicate the kind of system change needed in order to reduce welfare inequalities, it will also allow children's social care agencies to organise themselves to provide the maximum benefit to the local communities that they serve.

Professor Paul Bywaters, Coventry University

Today's Scripture: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
Fractions cannot be added or subtracted until they are reduced to the least common denominator. If you judged from the surface, the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well of Sychar should not have been added to the same spiritual family as the Pharisee, Nicodemus. They stood worlds apart socially, morally, culturally, academically, theologically, and emotionally. She was a Samaritan; he was a Jew. She was indifferent; he was seeking. She was disgraced; he was respected. She was flippant; he was serious. She was immoral; he was moral. She was unorthodox; he was orthodox. She was ignorant; he was learned. These differences formed the roots of the prejudices their respective countries held against one another.
In spite of their differences, the Samaritan woman and Nicodemus needed the same thing. Jesus was the Common Denominator. He transcended the national prejudices which divided the Jews and Samaritans, and He met each lost person at their level. They accepted Him as their Savior not because of His race, cultural background, academic prowess, or social status, but because of His provision for their spiritual need.
The same differences which divided the Samaritan woman and Nicodemus divide people today. Differences are very real, and we need to acknowledge them rather than pretend they do not exist. However, we should also remember that beneath the surface all people share the need for salvation. Jesus Christ can meet that need — and He wants to do it through us. He works through us when we learn to see beyond others' differences their spiritual needs.
When you see people from other cultures, do you see their differences or their needs? Do you conclude someone from their culture is better equipped to reach them with the gospel, or do you take it upon yourself? You might not be comfortable interacting with people who are different from you; but if you are a Christian, your Savior transcends their differences. He transcends your prejudices. And He will use you to lead them to Him — if you will allow Him.
Devotional by Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr.

I met Ashley Goldberg last year at CHA. I was walking around checking out booths and laughing and chatting with my friends...and we came across Ashley's booth. And we all stopped dead in our tracks. And we all spent the next 30 minutes ooooh-ing and aaaaah-ing at Ashley and her art.
We stamped our hearts out with the stamps she had displayed...and we told her over and over and over how awesome she was and how much we loved her style.
CHA ended...a few months went by...and lo and behold, who do I see designing products for inclusion in a Studio Calico kit??? You got it! Ashley G!!!

Women For Women On 60 Minutes
Categories: Africa, Blog, Children's Issues, In The News, Inspiration, Poverty, Sponsor Someone, Women's Issues
I just received this email a few minutes ago from Women for Women International. This is an AMAZING segment on 60 minutes. If you can't watch it live, record it.
60 Minutes – re-airing "War Against Womenâ€
Sunday, August 17
7:00pm ET
Dear Racquel,
CNN's Anderson Cooper will be highlighting the plight of women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the CBS news magazine, 60 Minutes, this Sunday.
This is a re-airing of the piece televised in January and included a visit to Women for Women International's offices in the DR Congo. The program will be broadcast at 7:00 pm ET on Sunday, August 17. Please check your local listings for 60 Minutes air times.
In the piece, Anderson Cooper shared the struggles of all the women we serve in the DR Congo. Specifically, he met with Lucienne, a Women for Women International program participant.
Lucienne was held captive, tortured, abandoned by her family, and gave birth to the child of her rapist. Her story is bleak, but she is picking up the pieces of her life with the help of Women for Women International and her sponsor, Deborah. In the interview Lucienne told Anderson Cooper that she named her child Luck. "I named her Luck because I went through many hardships. I could have been killed in the forest, but I got my life back. I have hope.â€
After the segment initially aired, many of you wrote to us to tell us how moved you were. We invite you to bring together your friends and family to share with them the work you support and to watch the 60 Minutes piece.
If you can't watch together, please forward them this email and ask them to watch or record it.
Every day Women for Women International staff in the 8 countries where we work see women with a story like Lucienne's — women standing in line waiting for their chance to reclaim their lives. They deserve the chance to change their lives and have their stories told. Your support makes that possible and we are eternally grateful.
In fact, at the end of the piece, you'll see how Lucienne is speaking in front of other members of her Women for Women group. She is lit up with hope and enthusiasm…because she is reading a letter from her sponsor.
On behalf of the women we serve,
Trish Tobin
Women for Women International, Chief Marketing Officer

Resort Near Disney World Swallowed into 60-Foot Sinkhole Maw
A resort building ten minutes from Disney World collapsed and another sank into the ground as a 60-foot wide sinkhole opened underneath early this morning.
There are no reports of injuries and all guests are accounted for, though dozens had to be evacuated:
Guests at the Summer Bay Resort, about 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, called for help, saying they heard loud noises and windows cracking. The estimated 35 people inside the buildings were evacuated.
Two three-story buildings are affected by the 15-foot deep crater, Lake County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Tony Cuellar said. Rooms as high as the third floor of one building collapsed into the sinkhole, which kept growing Monday morning.

Flipping through "Justice League of America" #2 shortly after getting home with my stack of comics yesterday, "Oh, wow!" was forced from my gut as I happened across the painstaking texture Scott Clark drew into Martian Manhunter's skin and cloak. Deftly enhanced by inker David Beatty in the Matt Kindt-written Manhunter backup story, the art has the appearance of being photo-referenced, but so much attention is placed in the details and textures that the base reference is lost to the art on the page. Kindt's first-person narrative establishes a strong foundation for this character and his ongoing adventures at the back of this book. Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but like "Justice League" until the recent migration of Reis/Prado/Reis to that title, the backup tale is the star of the book.
While the overall journey taken through "Justice League of America" #2 might not be top of mind when I get around to reading the third issue, one scene will remain in my brain and more than makes up for a particular character's treatment since the launch of the New 52 in just five panels. The character is Hawkman and I'm just thankful someone who gets the character and is able to make him intimidating and entertaining is finally writing him. The interplay between Hawkman, arguably the most volatile member of this new League, and Vibe, easily the most timid of the team, is comical and defining for both characters, this team and this title.
That's not to say that Geoff Johns hasn't written a solid story here: it's decent and informative. It's just not exceptionally memorable. As the first issue opened with a mysterious character being pursued by other mysterious characters in a mysterious setting, "Justice League of America" #2 opens in a mysterious setting, with a character readers all recognize (Scarecrow) entrenched in conversation with another mysterious figure. Johns seems perfectly content to seed this book with teases for now, but in between he provides some slivers of characterization for members of the team. Vibe and Stargirl exchange pleasantries, Katana has no such interest and Catwoman is trying to defy the laws of anatomy and textiles by walking around with her suit unzipped to her navel. In the panels where the team is together, they do a lot of standing and talking, mostly at dramatic angles that play to shadowy forms being cast all over them.
David Finch seems equally interested in making the lead story appear as detailed as Clark's work in the backup, but like so many of the relaunched costume redesigns, a great deal of Finch's detail is fussy. The artist adds knickknacks and knobs to things, favoring the drama delivered via shadow over texture. Sonia Oback's coloring is murky and dark, enhancing the mystery Johns writes into "Justice League of America." Finch makes some odd page and panel choices, including several panels throughout the issue that appear shoehorned in or pasted overtop previously dead space. Some of those panels are barely the size of a small Post-It Note, which just seems odd for the scope of this story.
Among the mysteries and teases are some connections to "Justice League." A Secret Society discussed in conversation between Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor is inferred to have connections to characters that have appeared in Johns' "Justice League." That setup, combined with the purpose of the team's formation and Johns' current assignment writing both "Justice League" titles, all but assures a team-up or conflict somewhere down the road. In the meantime, "Justice League of America" is still trying to establish its voice, which it should be able to do now that everyone has been introduced.

On Sunday I received two photographs from the Daily Star. They asked me to identify them, and after consulting with Darren Naish, Jonathan McGowan and two vets (Aurelia and Shosh) I wrote the following email to the newspaper:
'Hi Marc,
Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you. Having checked with a zoologist, a big cat tracker and a vet we think it is a large domestic cat, probably a Russian Blue, or a crossbreed with Russian blue ancestry.
The article, when it appeared, made no mention of my email but wrote:
A British wildlife organisation said it had proof the animals were still alive and well in Britain.
And Jonathan Downes, director for the Centre for Fortean Zoology in Devon, said: "We know there were lynx living in Britain 1,500 years ago, but could they still be here?"
I did actually say that a few days earlier, it is true, but it was in answer by a question from a different journalist, from a different paper, and in answer to questions about the lynx that Max discovered in the vaults of Bristol Museum. So whilst technically the newspaper has done nothing wrong at all, it performed a clever piece of journalistic prestidigitation with that quote.
And they didn't even have to hack my telephone to get it.

Often artists would come into the store looking for canvas, so the Gwartzman's brought in canvas of all different types and widths to accommodate the artists.
Once we became known for our discount canvas, the artists then came looking for paint, brushes, and all types of art supplies. The drapery and fabrics were eventually moved to make room for a larger selection of art materials, and we started sourcing products from Europe and the Far East.
Finally we took on the name, Gwartzman's Discount Art Supplies. Almost 50 years later, 2nd and 3rd generation Gwartzman's are carrying on the business, alongside the famous Mr.G!

Creative Thinking
Coming off of an unusual weekend where I had Saturday off, worked Sunday, had Monday off, and am back to work again today, I haven't gotten back up to full speed quite yet. With three events over the next three weeks and another day of shooting interviews this Saturday, I feel like I'm already getting a bit drained.
I am what is considered a "creative professional" which encompasses design-oriented fields and basically all things visual. After completing a pretty detail intensive project last month we switched gears into duplicating 3,000 copies of it for our client. It was a nice change of pace, a way to unwind from focusing on all of the ins and outs of such a technical product. However, that too, began to bog me down with the repetition of loading the disk printer and stuffing the mailers and packing the mailers into boxes and on and on. We then had a job for 500 copies of another project - just the duplication - and we're expecting the arrival of the master for yet another 200 disks this week. We've been archiving a local history video series - for which we've been producing new editions - and I've been typing in the content for the wraps and inserting the thumbnails of the subjects.
That coupled with the event work we have coming up for most of this month hasn't been getting me all that excited, to be honest. I need to be creative or at least have the creative areas of my brain stimulated for me to feel motivated and productive. The past couple of weeks haven't really gone towards helping in that area - aside from the afternoon of shooting outside of NYC and redesigning the website for a youth group I work with.
I assume that other creative people find themselves in this situation as well; it's probably true in one form or another in any profession/interest area/what-have-you. Things are great when you are doing what you enjoy, what you were meant to do and when you do the things you have to do that aren't necessarily what you enjoy, you are left feeling drained rather than rejuvenated.
At least, that's where I'm at right now.

"Not in the least, chemistry is never boring".
"Sir is being daft again".
Of course some students think that if they now have carte blanche to burn all their possessions, such as plastic pens, to see what happens, ie, they can mess about. That is why they like it.
The Bunsen burner has a powerful hold in UK practical chemistry. Its presence in practical work ultimately defines the set out of the school laboratory.
The cheapest option is to place the gas pipes (and other services) around the outside of the room, with just tables and chairs in the middle. The raison d'être for this is that labs should be adaptable to all types of teaching approaches with tables moving around, to accommodate group work and argumentation. How often I wonder does room alteration happen? With services around the perimeter and in terms of practical work, students now have their backs to the teacher when using the dangerous Bunsen, it is not possible to place 30 students around the perimeter and there are obstructions such as cupboards and notice boards with bits of paper on them.
I have even see labs with no demonstration bench and have been told that this is to discourage demonstration because it is too teacher-centric. (No it is cheaper not to have services under the floor to the teacher's bench!)
There are many ways of using a Bunsen but most have two controls; the yellow "safe" flame and the full-on blast. Control of supplying heat by using air collar and gas tap is not common. Even less common is that you can hold a Bunsen by the base and heat a liquid gently from the side. This is really important in distillation.
So is electrical heating an alternative to the Bunsen?
The electrical heating mantle and hotplates cost over £100 each, they are expensive and they take a long time to warm up a liquid (there is a fixed time to a lesson!) and they are difficult to use when heating test tubes.
They are used extensively in University chemistry departments and here we have a problem. Conditions in University chemistry departments are very different from school labs (even more so than 50 years ago), so new teachers coming teach in a school usually resort to how they were taught; use a Bunsen; yellow flame and full blast! (This problem is something I might write about later)
The temperature of the flame is about 900ᵒC, enough to completely soften soda glass (and the heat shock causes catastrophic breakages) and distort borosilicate glass. At that temperature, sulfates are decomposed to sulfur dioxide and trioxide and even sodium nitrate to brown nitrogen dioxide; an observation not in the text book (is this supposed to happen?) I am always uncomfortable directly distilling a flammable organic solvent from a pear-shaped Quickfit flask, but it has to be done sometimes (cyclohexanol to cyclohexene). Thus I try in school chemistry practicals, to suggest procedures that use boiling water baths, which let's face it are also dangerous.
I have been informed that many children (and some teachers) are very scared of lighting a flame such that neither will use them at GCSE level. Sometimes, it is the teacher only who lights the Bunsen for the student. There have been minor burns reported to CLEAPSS and parents and employers have questioned why we use such dangerous equipment. However, knowing how to deal safely with fire is good education!
So when I suggest that I can do most of my chemistry with a spirit burner and an electric kettle, the traditionalists are horrified.
Any heating equipment is not without safety issues. Many spirit burners (see equipment page for my version) are old aromatherapy bottles, that had loose tops and held up to 100 ml of ethanol, so any spill resulted in a nasty fire fire. Some American States ban their use although I suspect there have been more serious injuries from American Football and other sports than the chemistry laboratory so why not ban … err better not go there. The worst incident we had in the UK was a students who bent over a candle and his shirt caught fire which then melted a rubber emblem on his vest into his chest. This went to court. Subscribers to of CLEAPSS can read about it in Bulletin 122 (2005). It was deemed an unfortunate accident with no direct fault of the teacher. The school pleaded guilty to not training its staff in fire safety. The fire officer wanted much more restrictions on the use of candles but that started to get very silly. Whether there were civil actions afterwards, I do not know but no doubt the insurance people settled out of court if there were. Hot water can scald and of ourse you never really know a hot plate is on (unless there are specail signs)
I have to a Bunsen for glass work, heating calcium carbonate and other carbonates, carbon/metal oxide reactions keeping a boiling-water bath boiling. However for activities like dissolving salts, Disilling liquids with boiling points below 90C (see picture at top) , Fehling's and Tollens racions solution, and warming up solutions for rate determinations, a kettle of boiling hot water can be used.
For dehydration of hydrated metals salts, microscale cracking and reduction of metal oxides with hydrogen in a Pasteur pipette or glass tube, the spirit burner can be used.
Robert Bunsen, well his University Instrument Maker, Peter Desaga, see http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issues/2007/October/ClassicKitBunsenBurner.asp, designed the burner for a specific purpose. In a similar way you should ask yourself "is a Bunsen burner really required for this experiment? Its use is a part of risk assessment under the UK COSHH Regulations.
Are we using the Bunsens today?
"Boring lesson then".
"No I have done a risk assessment I find that hot water from a kettle is quicker and safer to react copper oxide with dilute sulfuric acid."
"Do you usually talk like this?"
PS on Bunsen burner quality and misuse
Danger: The quality of some inexpensive imported Bunsen burners is very worrying. Students turn the air-hole collar to get the hot flame and flame extinguishes itself; the air-collar hole is too large. The jet is sometimes too large leading to a flame thrower and a poor hot flame. In the UK we use natural gas. Bunsen burners using LPG have an even smaller diameter air-holes and leaking LPG is very serious hazard as the gas is heavier than air. If you connect a natural gas Bunsen to LPG and you have a flame thrower. For you in the UK, by British, as you buy long-lasting quality if they are regularly serviced.
Misuse: under the direction of some teachers, students directly place solids in the flame (on a wooden splint); the solids fall down the chimney, blocking the jet, and seizing up the collar.

This is Pi Day #035.c
Of course, if you've ever played a game that provides each player with a little pile of bits — meeples, houses, roads, trains, chips, cubes, whatever — and you HAVEN'T made a geometric pile in front of you on the table while you were waiting for your next turn… well, I don't believe you.
Do you Like Web Comics?
Hey! Me too! What a coincidence.
This is Pi Day is an independent web comic about fatherhood, running, video games, science, art, independence, integrity, imagination and just generally ... family adventure. It is created, written, illustrated, and promoted by Brad Salomons from a quiet suburb of a remote Canadian city called Edmonton, Alberta.
Looking for more pi? We regularly celebrate at the great circle of math, science and technology culture. This is Pi Day has been calculated as the product of one geeky dad, one curious kid, and an irrational volume of corny dad jokes.
New full strips are published on Saturday mornings (and shorts, appearing randomly whenever I draw them). This is Pi Day will always be free to read on this site, but if you enjoy it please help me out by sharing the link on social media or supporting in other ways.

For this task, go to the Bowland Maths website [2] and click on Classroom projects - the Case Studies. Scroll down the list using the arrow at the bottom until you see a case study called Product Wars.
Students assume the role of apprentices in a soft drinks company and are invited to create the ultimate range of smoothies. Different mixtures with different tastes and nutritional values can be tested using market research. Spreadsheets are used as tools to keep track of varying taste and nutrition. Ratio of ingredients within each recipe can be recorded and compared, and scaling up for production or scaling down for testing purposes can be carried out.
As with many ratio and proportion tasks, it is possible to maintain an ad hoc approach and learners left to themselves may not make links to other ratio and proportion tasks and the underlying concepts.

Atkins' line-drive hit follows rocket in B.P.
Garrett Atkins loaded up on his back foot in batting practice and rocketed a ball near the restaurant overlooking left field. It was a reminder that his swing is improving. He proved as much with a line-drive single in the fifth inning.
"He's getting in a good position to hit and seeing the ball better," Rockies hitting instructor Alan Cockrell said. "I don't think he's doubted himself. He just went through a period when was trying things he hadn't done in the past."
Atkins entered Wednesday's game hitting .227, knee- deep in his first slump since Double-A. But a rival scout who watched the game predicted Atkins would finish the season with a batting average between .290 and .320.
FRESH FACES: With left-handed pitcher Doug Davis starting for Arizona, Jamey Carroll, Ryan Spilborghs and Jeff Baker were in the lineup. Carroll and Spilborghs were responsible for the Rockies' first two runs.
GLOVE STORY: Arizona's Orlando Hudson, who edged out Carroll for the Gold Glove at second base last year, made two diving plays in the first four innings to douse Colorado rallies.

I'm pretty picky with my skincare essentials, but I think I've found some good ones recently and I couldn't resist the temptation to share them with you.
So starting with my primping necessities!
Beautiful Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner
I first read about Oxelio Topique in Vogue – and couldn't resist trying it, because French pharmacy products really are amazing. Use it every night and you'll wake up with your skin feeling soft, rejuvenated and generally giving you a good start to your day!
This Cattier mask is my go to mask when my skin needs a bit of a lift! It's for sensitive skin, and is a real pick me up when stress or a lot of eating out is making my skin angry. It's fabulous for getting rid of spots as well!
Post mask, I always reach for my Clarins Face Treatment Oil to give my skin a big drink! Use it sparingly, you literally need one or two drops on a cotton pad and dab it all over your face and neck. It's like an at home facial, which we all know we need sometimes.
Clinque's pore refining serum does exactly what it says on the tin: my pores are smaller, my skin looks better and I love it as much as the first time I used it. I had bad skin as a teen, so I have a lot of pores to sort out, and this idoes the job for me.
It was Birchbox that introduced me to Caudalie Vionperfect Serum and I've started using it every day. I didn't realize the benefits of a serum until I started using one – it's like a really good, hydrating base coat for your face, but it doesn't make your skin oily. A must if your skin is unhappy or prone to being stressed.
The REN 1 minute facial is just oh wow. When you don't have time to sit with a face mask on, or you don't have the money for a facial, this is the product you should be reaching for. Just pop it on for a minute, and then rinse it straight off (I tend to do it in the shower) and your skin will glow. Literally glow! Follow it with serum and moistureiser to give your skin the nutrients that it needs, or Oxelio Topique if it's night time.
Finally, my Bobbi Brown moistureiser is a product I don't think I'll ever give up. I've honestly used it for years, it always makes my skin soft, and provides a perfect base for my make up. I've tried lots of moistureisers in my time, and I always find myself going back to this one – says something doesn't it?
Finally, and very quickly – my favourite fragrances!
