I think it's a matter of timing primarily



Solvay Specialty Polymers describes Radel PPSU as a super-tough thermoplastic that can withstand over 1000 cycles of disinfection and steam sterilization without significant loss of properties. It is inherently flame retardant and is resistant to bases and other chemicals. The specialty engineering plastic is also compliant with ISO 10993-1 for limited exposure, non-implantable applications.A new congregation recently started gathering inside the former Temple Club in Lansing's Old Town district. Mangum stabbed Daye once in the side  It's open to the public and meets regularly, where conversations often revolve around creation and makers. But it's not what you think.The ever-evolving location at 502 E. Grand River Ave. recently found new life as a church of innovation. The Lansing Makers Network - a ragtag group of technology wizards, scientists and artists - has taken temporary refuge inside the space. Their guiding principle? Unabashed, unfiltered and unending curiosity."We provide access to tools, equipment (and) space to work," the group's founding member and board President Brian Adams said. "We have metal-working tools, woodworking tools, electronics, 3-D printers.

 Anything somebody wants to make with."The group is part of a movement that holds annual Maker Faires in big cities around the world. The one in Detroit, held each July, is one of three flagship Maker Faires in the nation. And last Saturday, the Lansing Makers Network held an open house in honor of its big move.Adams greeted visitors just inside the door; next to him was a welcome sign made from the space's laser cutter. Members Mike Flaga, Jody Applegate and Tim Schmidt provided guided tours of the space and introduced visitors to different areas such as the 3-D printer and laser cutters.The Lansing Makers Network established itself as a nonprofit corporation two months after the six founding members gathered for their first meeting in January 2012. In May 2013, the Makers moved into the Temple Club where redevelopment plans for the nearly 100-year-old building had stalled. The location choice was a happy accident, Adams says. The building's owner, Alan Hooper, one of three partners behind Old Town Temple LLC, had been working with the group to find a space inside the nearby Leaseway Motorcar Transport Co. building.It took longer to pan out, so we asked for a place to use temporarily," Adams said. "(Hooper) listed a couple of places he owns and he mentioned the Temple Club, and I said, 'That's the one I want.'

Mangum stabbed Daye once in the side


 The crimes, under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act are alleged to have happened at Abbeydale Close on September 9 last.The DPP consented to summary disposal of the case in the District Court.Sgt Maria O'Callaghan said gardai were called to attend the address in question, where it was alleged that Stirrat was being "threatening and intimidating to neighbours and waving a knife around".There were no injuries to anyone in relation to the incident, she said.Judge David McHugh accepted jurisdiction to deal with the case at District Court level.Defence Solicitor Valerie Buckley requested a summary of the prosecution's defence and disclosure of statements.Jose Diaz-Ferrez was arrested after a Des Moines police officer found him with a knife allegedly attempting to stab witnesses about 4:10 this morning, according to the Des Moines Police report.The officer happened upon Ferrez after he heard screaming on the 300 block of E. Court Avenue. When the officer arrived Diaz-Ferrez was allegedly lunging at people with a 4-inch lock blade knife, the report said.Three witnesses said they did not know the suspect, but he attempted to stab them after they left the bar.

 During the altercation, bar security came out and threatened Diaz-Ferrez with a taser to try and stop him. One witness drove her car in between the suspect and other witnesses to try and end the incident.When the officer arrived he pulled his gun out and told Diaz-Ferrez to drop the knife. That is when the suspect allegedly attempted to stab the officer.The suspect ran away from the officer, which initiated a chase before he surrendered to the officer and was arrested.According to a written statement, the bill will "protect law-abiding knife owners traveling throughout the U.S. from the vagaries of restrictive state and local laws. As long as possession of the particular knife is legal in the state where the journey starts and ends, and provided the knife is secured in accordance with KOPA, a knife owner would no longer be threatened with arrest simply for traveling from one place to another.

A Gainesville man was arrested Tuesday



Bizarrely, in his trial at Preston Crown Court, Modiak claimed he had merely pretended to stab the bouncer in order to draw attention to his continuing grievance over his conviction for the acid attack.The court heard how his latest crime followed a similar pre-planned and disturbing pattern.Modiak was drunk and smoking outside a bar called Ma Kellys on March 16 this year when he was asked to move away by door staff.The pain must have been excruciating After spitting at the bouncers, he changed his clothes and put on a hat, returning in disguise an hour-and-a-half later with a large knife hidden from view. In CCTV footage, Modiak is seen walking past the entrance of the bar  sizing up his intended victim  before doubling back.He then pulls out the blade and lunges at bouncer Daniel Ursoi, 39. Speaking after yesterday's sentencing, Mr Ursoi said: "He walked up to me and shouted, 'Do you remember me?' then launched at me with the knife. I remember thinking, 'Oh God'. I was so lucky the knife missed me and just caught my sleeve."Mr Ursoi's fellow doormen held on to the the thug until police arrived.


A Gainesville man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after police say he threatened his wife with a pocketknife and kicked a police officer.The Gainesville Police Department said Michael Linkins Jr., 30, of 5801 NW 23rd St., and his wife were outside their home at 11:02 a.m. when Linkins held a pocketknife to his wife's left rib cage and told her he was going to harm her and the police as well, the police report said.A neighbor who saw Linkins told him he was going to call 911. More neighbors started gathering at the house, so Linkin left in a green Ford Explorer without a tag, the report said.About an hour and a half later, police stopped Linkins at the Home Depot on Northwest 13th Street. After being arrested, Linkins told police he had the knife open during an argument with his wife but had taken it out to cut a fishing line, the report said.Police said Linkins was handcuffed and placed in the back of the car, but he refused to put his legs in. When officers tried to pull Linkins into the vehicle, he shouldered an officer and then kicked another officer in the chest with both feet.

The pain must have been excruciating



The man yanked the woman from the car and pulled her off the side of the road toward railroad tracks, where he sexually assaulted her, she said."During the struggle the victim bit the suspect's left shoulder and scratched his forearms. The victim was able to fight the suspect off, and he ran eastbound from the area," Davis said.The victim was not wounded, she said.The suspect is described as an African-American man in his early 20s, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 with acne on his face. His build was average to muscular. He was wearing dark jeans and a white T-shirt with a design on the front.Each hedgehog is a character in itself often prompting admiration for its stoic courage in the face to terrible trauma. It is often a mystery how some of these hedgehogs sustain their injuries but over the years we have grown used to expecting the unexpected.Mac who has just arrived for life saving treatment has two broken back legs.And still he was trying to walk on them.

 The pain must have been excruciating but, just like other hedgehogs, he soldiered on regardless.Luckily he was brought into us. We can provide effective pain killing and heavily padded bandages to prevent further movement and crepitus.After X-rays our vet could operate on Mac using the latest techniques to attempt to heal the fractures.Mac's hind right leg had a simple fracture of the tibia, the equivalent of our shin bone. This the vet fixed with a straightforward intramedullary pin, down the central cavity of the bone, joining the two fragments together.The left leg was more serious. It had a compound fracture of the tibia allowing infection into the wound. This meant that as well as stabilizing the fracture the wound had to be kept sterile while healing.A technique known as extracutaneous fixation, where horizontal pins are put through both bone fragments, was decided on. This method would allow the open wound to be treated while the fracture healed.

Far from the madding crowd of malls


This exhibition follows the blockbuster Alexander McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum and seems designed to accommodate the same volume of crowds, although it is not as mesmerizing as the McQueen exhibition; not as persuasive in illustrating how everything from accessories to runway shows can be turned into art. Nonetheless,The pain must have been excruciating  Mr. Gaultier has contributed a great deal not only to democratizing fashion but to promoting ideas of beauty, gender, race and class that challenged mainstream mores. For this reason, it is particularly nice to encounter his subversively but exquisitely crafted objects in an art museum. The National Crafts Museum at Delhi's Pragati Maidan has been an interesting and important institute at least since the Eighties. Whether you are passionate about local art and textiles or not, this space offers authenticity in its representation of the Indian way of life that is calm and reassuring.

Far from the madding crowd of malls, the Crafts Museum has, for many decades, been a haunt only for those who light an occasional candle at the feet of indigenous craft. Also for curious foreign tourists.But even today you will find a number of Delhiites who have never set foot here. There are also those both in Delhi and outside who visit the capital frequently for work or pleasure who are simply unaware about its existence. Run by the Ministry of Textiles (MoT), government of India, and set up over the Fifties and Sixties with work continuing into the Eighties, the museum has a village complex, finely maintained and well-appointed art galleries and open spaces designed by architect Charles Correa that link ancient concepts of Indian living with modern design.Why doesn't it get footfalls then? It's an old lament but one with a new ringtone because under Ruchira Ghose, the chairperson, the Crafts Museum has in the last three years or so, been trying to stand up and walk with more strength in its arthritic knees.

which is used to promote crop growth



In order to secure the Mosaic plant, Louisiana had offered the company a Modernization Tax Credit of $3 million and job training services.None of those incentives had been provided since Mosaic had not completed the front-end engineering and design work on the project, Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret said.The state has offered CF Industries a $3 million tax credit;I think that tells an interesting story  a $2 million loan that doesn't have to be repaid if the company meets payroll targets; and workforce training.Moret said CF will receive those incentives.Moret said LED expects to announce "other large ammonia manufacturing projects" in the coming months.The ammonia contract was part of a group of deals announced Monday between CF Industries and Mosaic. CF Industries also will sell its phosphate mining and manufacturing business to Mosaic for $1.4 billion in cash. The total includes $200 million to cover environmental liabilities associated with gypsum stacks, a byproduct of phosphate mining.David Dismukes, associate director of the LSU Center for Energy Studies, said both companies are focusing on what they do best.

CF Industries is more known for nitrogen-ammonia-based fertilizer while Mosaic specializes in phosphate and potash, or potassium, fertilizers, he said.The Minnesota-based company, until now primarily focused on potash, will pay $1.2 billion cash to acquire the South Pasture mine and related assets plus $200 million to fund CF's asset retirement obligation.The acquisition is expected to add approximately $0.30 per share to Mosaic's 2015 earnings per share, excluding any debt financing costs and any changes to outstanding share count, the company said.The firm, member of Canpotex  a North American group, the world's largest potash exporting said CF will contribute with 1 million tonnes a year of ammonia, a nitrogen product used in making finished phosphate products. This will allow Mosaic to abandon its plans to build a $1.1-billion ammonia manufacturing plant in Faustina, Louisiana.Potash is one of the main ingredients for making agricultural fertilizer, which is used to promote crop growth. Phosphate and nitrogen are the other two key components.

I think that tells an interesting story



"I think that tells an interesting story about children and politics," Karlan said.But when he's submitted papers to journals in the past, they've gotten one of two responses, he said."We've either been told, 'You didn't produce enough knowledge, it wasn't a clean enough test of a theory,' or that the paper isn't funny enough," Karlan said. "And personally, I was far more insulted by the second criticism." Henry Blackburn, travelling through Spain in 1864, soon learnt not to ask strangers the way. "Travellers who depend upon being told what to do and where to go at the various stations and junctions are continually being left behind," he wrote. "This is not thought much of in Spain, and amuses the officials immensely."But Concordia was the right station for Leon, despite appearances, and the daily train for the city was preparing to leave at 14.30. It was kept upstairs (as at the Gare Montparnasse in Paris, where on October 22 1895 the 08.45 from Granville ran through the buffers, sending the locomotive nosediving like a rogue bull into the street).

The afternoon was hot, but the new carriages were air-conditioned. There was a seat free on the right-hand side, which on the journey west would be the northern, shady side. Sol y sombra, sun and shade, matter in trains as well as bullrings, though railway tickets cost no more for seats in the shade. The width of the carriage accommodated only three seats across, for this was the Feve, the narrow-gauge railway. The excitement of the anomalous gauge soon wore off, but the journey to Leon was spectacular in part, and was timetabled to take 7 hours for the 208 miles, a speed of just under 28mph. As the train pulled out, an old lady crossed herself, not out of fear, but in the familiar custom of the kind of travellers who also say grace before meals. All meals are a gift; all life is a journey. Piped music flutingly moaned the melody of Moon River. In Spain, piped music is a curse to those who mind it; most Spaniards do not. As it approached Aranguren, along meandering track, the gait of the train, despite its leisurely pace, became drunken. Cows in the fields paused in their chewing of the cud and stared as it bounced, bucked, bucketed, rolled, pitched and jolted.
