Tremble in the presence of 3A Toys' Doctor Doom figure
It's been a while since we've seen anything about the Doctor Doom figure from Ashley Wood's 3A Toys, but judging from this post on the company's production blog, that's about to change very soon.
While we wait, however, the company provides a look at all colorways for the 1/6th-scale figure: Classic Edition, Ghost Edition and Stealth Edition. 3A's Iron Man figures are kind of pricy, and I'm guessing these will be in the same range. Still, they're pretty amazing-looking.
Grovel helplessly at the feet of 3A's Doctor Doom figure
Earlier this month we mentioned that Ashley Wood's company 3A planned to follow its 12-inch Invincible Iron Man figures with more Marvel collectibles, and at Toy Fair in New York City they delivered with the debut of Doctor Doom. Or, rather, an incomplete version of the ruler of Latveria, courtesy of Action Figure Fury — enough to let you know the finished version is going to look pretty incredible.
There's no word yet when Doom will go on sale. 3A is only now taking pre-orders for those Iron Man figures (to the tune of $220 each), so it'll probably be a while yet. Start saving those pennies.
Ashley Wood unveils Invincible Iron Man figures
Last year news bubbled up that Popbot artist Ashley Wood was working on a highly detailed line of toys/statuettes based on Marvel's Iron Man. Fast-forward one year, and they're almost here.
On Feb. 13, Wood's company 3a Toys will release four Iron Man figures as the opening salvo in a larger line of Marvel toys. These first figures (highlighted below) are dubbed "Classic," "Silver Centurion," Stealth" and "Stark Industries Prototype," with the latter exclusive to 3A's online webstore, Bambaland.
Although Wood is best known for creator-owned work, the artist states on the 3A forum that he had a childhood dream of drawing Marvel characters and the opportunity to do his own version of Iron Man with this toy line is "incredible."
"Now if only I could make the comics based on the toys," Wood writes. "These designs are linked in my mind, a 3A secret war if you will!"
While a Ashley Wood-drawn Marvel comic is something only Marvel can decide, the artist has more Marvel figures planned after these, including Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom and Ultron.

melt-blending together
(a) an aromatic polycarbonate resin; and
(b) a polydiorganosiloxane having at least one functional carboxylic acid group and wherein the term organo means a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halogen-substituted alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein the polydiorganosiloxane is a trimelletic anhydride endcapped polydimethylsiloxane of formula: ##STR6## wherein n equals an integer of at least 1 up to about 1,000 and each R is methyl.
3. The process of claim 2 wherein n is from 4 to about 40.
4. A block copolymer of a polycarbonate reacted with a carboxy acid group functionalized polydiorganosiloxane.
5. The copolymer of claim 4 wherein about 1-10 wt. percent carboxy acid functionalized polydiorganosiloxane is reacted with about 90-99% weight percent aromatic polycarbonate, based on the weights of the polycarbonate and the diorganopolysiloxane.
6. The copolymer of claim 5 wherein the polycarbonate is bisphenol-A polycarbonate.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to thermoplastic resin compositions and more particularly relates to polycarbonate-silicone block copolymers and methods of their preparation.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Polycarbonate-silicone copolymers have found valuable usage as coatings and adhesives for bonding laminate structures; see for example the description found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,588 (Molari, Jr.) issued Oct. 31, 1978. Polycarbonate-silicone copolymers are also useful as components of thermoplastic molding compositions; see U.S. Pat. No. 4,569,970 (Paul et al) issued Feb. 11, 1986.
Elastomer compositions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,387,193 (Giles, Jr.) which issued June 7, 1983. These elastomer compositions include polycarbonate-silicone block copolymers as a blend component. Other preparations are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,189,662 (Vaughn) issued June, 1965.
In general, the known polycarbonate-silicone block copolymers are prepared by solution polymerization techniques. We have discovered that polycarbonate-silicone copolymers may also be prepared by melt blending a polycarbonate with a silicone bearing carboxylic acid functionality. The transesterification reaction which occurs may be carried out in conventional melt extrusion equipment, an advantage over the more complex solution polymerization technique. The resulting block copolymer exhibits unexpected physical properties, which enhance flow and thick section impact values compared to values obtained in unmodified polycarbonate. Additionally, transparency is obtained in articles molded from a blend of a polycarbonate with a functionalized silicone.
The invention comprises a method of preparing a polycarbonate-silicone block copolymer, which comprises;
melt blending together
(A) an aromatic polycarbonate resin; and
(B) a polydiorganosiloxane having at least one functional carboxylic acid group.
The invention also comprises the block-copolymers produced by the method of the invention. The block-copolymers are useful in the fabrication of coatings, membranes, thermoplastically molded articles and as impact-modifiers in thermoplastic resin molding compositions and as adhesives.
The term "melt blending" as used herein means a homogeneous admixturing of the polycarbonate resin and the polydiorganosiloxane while they are in a molten or thermoplastic state, i.e., heated to a condition of plasticity whereupon the resins will flow like a fluid. Advantageously, the temperature is within a range to cause reaction between the polycarbonate and the acid groups on the polydiorganosiloxane, generally a range of from about 300�C. to 400�C., preferably 325�C. to 350�C.
The aromatic polycarbonate resins employed in the method and compositions of the invention are well known. Generally speaking, such carbonate polymers may be typified as possessing recurring structural units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein D is a divalent aromatic radical of the dihydric phenol employed in the polymerization reaction. Preferably, the polycarbonate polymers used to provide the resinous compositions of the invention have an intrinsic viscosity (as measured in methylene chloride at 25�C.) ranging from about 0.70 to about 1.45 dl/g. In general, the higher viscosity polycarbonates are preferred. The dihydric phenols which may be employed to provide such aromatic carbonated polymers are mononuclear or polynuclear aromatic compounds, containing as functional groups two hydroxy radicals, each of which is attached directly to a carbon atom of an aromatic nucleus. The preferred polycarbonate resin for use herein is a homopolymer derived from 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane and a carbonate precursor.
The aromatic polycarbonates may be manufactured by known processes, such as the methods set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,018,750 and 4,123,436 where a dihydric phenol is reacted with a carbonate precursor; or by transesterification processes such as are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,154,008, as well as other processes known to those skilled in the art. The preferred method of preparing polycarbonate resins comprises the interfacial polymerization of a dihydric phenol with a carbonate precursor.
Typical dihydric phenols useful in formulating the polycarbonate resins, as described above, may be represented by the general formula: ##STR2## in which A is an aromatic group such as phenylene, biphenylene, naphthalene, anthrylen; E may be an alkylene or alkylidene group such as isopropylidene, butylene, butylidene, isobutylidene, amylene, isomaylene, amylidene, isoamylidene, and generally from one to twelve carbon atoms, inclusive. Where E is an alkylene or alkylidene group, it may also consist of two or more alkylene or alkylidene groups, connected by non-alkylene or non-alkylidene groups, connected by a non-alkylene or non-alkylidene group, such as an aromatic linkage, a tertiary amino linkage, an ether linkage, a carbonyl linkage, or by a sulfur-containing linkage such as sulfide, sulfoxide or sulfone. In addition, E may be a cycloaliphatic group of five to twelve carbon atoms, inclusive (e.g. cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl), or a cycloaklylidene of five to seven carbon atoms, inclusive, such as cyclohexylidene; a sulfur-containing linkage, such as sulfide, sulfoxide or sulfone; an ether linkage; a carbonyl group; a direct bond; or a tertiary nitrogen group. Other groups which E may represent will occur to those skilled in the art. R is hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbon group such as alkyl of one to eight carbon atoms, inclusive (methyl ethyl, propyl); aryl (phenyl, naphthyl); aralkyl (benzyl, ethylphenyl,; or cycloaliphatic of five to seven carbon atoms, inclusive (cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl). Y may be an inorganic atom such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine; an organic group such as the nitro group; an organic group such as R above; or an oxy group such as OR, it being only necessary that Y be inert to an unaffected by the reactants and the reaction conditions. The letter m is any whole number from and including zero through the number of positions on A available for substitution; p is any whole number from and including zero through the number of available positions on E; t is a whole number equal to at least one; and s is any whole number from and including zero to twenty.
In the typical dihydric phenol compound represented by Formula I above, when more than one Y substituent is present, they may be the same or different. The same is true for the R substituent. Where s is greater than one, E can be the same or different. Where E is a direct bond, the aromatic rings are directly joined with no intervening alkylene or other bridge. The positions of the hydroxyl groups and Y on the aromatic nuclear residues, A, can be varied in the ortho, meta, or para positions; and the groupings can be in a vicinal, nonsymmetrical or symmetrical relationship, where two or more ring carbon atoms of the aromatic hydrocarbon residu are substituted with Y and a hydroxyl group.
Examples of dihydric phenol compounds that may be employed in the above polymers include:
2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (or bisphenol-A);
2,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl methane;
bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl) methane;
bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) methane;

bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) cyclohexymethane;
1,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-bis-(Phenyl) propane;
2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylpropane; and the like.
Also included are dihydroxybenzenes typified by hydroquinone and resorcinol; dihydroxybiphenyls such as 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl; 2,2' dihydroxybiphenyl; 2,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl; dihydroxynaphthalenes such as 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene.
Also useful are dihydric phenols wherein E is a sulfur-containing radical such as the dihydroxy aryl sulfones exemplified by bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone;
0 2,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone;
bis-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone;
5'-chloro-2,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone;
3-chloro-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone; and 4,4' dihydroxytriphenyldisulfone.
The preparation of these and other useful sulfones are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,288,282. Hydroxy terminated polysulfones as well as substituted sulfones using halogen, nitrogen, alkyl radicals, are also useful.
Dihydroxy aromatic ethers such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,148,172 are useful as the dihydric phenol herein. The dihydroxy aromatic ethers may be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,739,171. Illustrative os such compounds are the following:

Mixtures of the dihydric phenols can also be employed, and where dihydric phenol is mentioned herein, mixtures of such materials are considered to be included. Other dihydric phenols which are suitable are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,999,835; 3,028,365; 3,334,154; 4,131,575.
The carbonate precursor used to produce the polycarbonate resins may be either a carbonyl halide, a carbonate ester, or a haloformate. Typical of the carbonate esters are diphenyl carbonate, di (halophenyl) carbonates such as di (chloropeenyl) carbonate, di (bromophenyl) carbonate, di (trichlorophenyl) carbonate, di (tribromophenyl) carbonate, di (alkylphenyl) carbonate such as di (tolyl) carbonate, phenyltolyl carbonate, chloronaphthyl chlorophenyl carbonate, and the like. The haloformates suitable for use herein include bishaloformates of dihydric phenols such as bischloroformates of hydroquinone, or glycols such as bis-haloformates of ethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol or polyethylene glycol. While other carbonate precursors will occur to those skilled in the art, carbonyl chloride, also know as phosgene, is preferred.
Included within the term "polycarbonates", for the purposes of this invention are the poly(estercarbonate) resins. These resins may generally be described as polymers comprising recurring carbonate groups, ##STR3## carboxylate groups, ##STR4## and aromatic carbocyclic groups in the linear polymer chain, in which at least some of the carboxylate groups and at least some of the carbonate groups are bonded directly to ring carbon atoms of the aromatic carbocyclic groups. These poly(ester-carbonate) polymers, in general, are prepared by reacting an aromatic difunctional carboxylic acid or ester forming derivative, a dihydric phenol and a carbonate precursor.
The preparation of poly(ester-carbonates) which may be employed in the compositions of the present invention is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,030,331; 3,169,121; 3,207,814; 4,194,038 and 4,156,069 incorporated herein by reference.
The poly(ester-carbonates) which are preferred in the practice of the present invention include the aromatic poly(ester-carbonates) derived from dihydric phenols, aromatic dicarboxylic acids or their reactive ester forming derivatives such as the aromatic diacid halides, and phosgene. The aromatic difnnctional carboxylic acids suitable for producing poly (estercarbonates) may be represented by the general formula:
wherein B represents an aromatic radical such as phenylene, naphthalene, biphenylene, substituted phenylene; two or more aromatic groups connected through non-aromatic linkages such as those defined by E in Formula I; or a divalent aliphatic-aromatic hydrocarbon radical such as an aralkyl or alkaryl radical. For purposes of the present invention, the aromatic dicarboxylic acids or their reactive derivatives such as, for example, the acid halides or diphenyl esters, are preferred. Thus, in the preferred aromatic difunctional carboxylic acids, as represented by Formula II, B is an aromatic radical such as phenylene, biphenylene, naphthalene, substituted phenylene, etc. Some nonlimiting examples of some aromatic dicarboxylic acids which may be used in preparing the poly (ester-carbonate) of the instant invention include phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, o-, m-, and p-phenylendediacetic acid, and the polynuclear aromatic acids such as diphenyl dicarboxylic acids, and isomeric naphthalene dicarboxylic acids. The aromatics may be substituted with Y groups in the same manner as the Formula I aromatics are substituted. Of course, these acids may be used individually or as mixtures of two or more different acids. A particularly useful class of aromatic poly (ester-carbonates) is that derived from bisphenol-A, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, or a mixture of isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid, or the reactive derivatives of these acids such as terephthaloyl dichloride, isophthaloyl dichloride, or a mixture of isophthaloyl dichloride and terephthaloyl dichloride, and phosgene. The molar proportion of ester units in the poly(ester-carbonate) is generally from about 25 to 90 mole percent and preferably about 35 to 80 mole percent. The molar range of terephthalate units, with the remainder of the copolymer ester units preferably comprising isophthalate units, is generally from about 2 to about 90 percent, and preferably from about 5 to about 50 percent.
Silicones employed in the method and the compositions of the invention are a class of polymers having the generic formula:
(Rp SiO.sub.(4-p)/2)m (III)
wherein p is an integer of 1 to 3 and m is 2 or more. R, which is attached to a significant proportion of the silicon atoms by silicon-carbon bonds represents a monovalent organic moiety such as alkyl, halogen-substituted alkyl, aryl and alkenyl Other groups which may be attached to the silicon include hydrogen, hydroxy, mercapto and the like. Silicones are well known polymers as are methods of their manufacture; see for example the methods described in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Second Edition, Vol. 18, pgs 221-260 and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,419,634; all of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
The silicones employed in the method of the present invention to prepare polycarbonate-silicpne block copolymers bear at least one and preferably two carboxylic acid groups on a single silicone chain. The acid groups may be positioned at a chain terminus or at a chain site between the terminal ends. The carboxylic acid group is connected to the silicon atom through at least one or more carbon atoms. Examples of carboxylic acid groups attached to the silicone include, ethyl carboxy, propyl carboxy, cyclohexyl carboxy, phenyl carboxy, ethylphenyl carboxy, propylphthalimide carboxy and the like. It should also be noted that the silicone resin can be endcapped with the aforementioned functional groups. Representative of the silicones advantageously employed in preparing the compositions of the invention are arylalkylcarboxylic acid chain-stopped polydiorganosiloxanes composed of from about 3 to 1,000 chemically combined diorganosiloxy units consisting essentially of dialkylsilicon units which are connected to each other by silicon-oxygen-silicon linkages wherein each of the silicon atoms has two organo radicals attached through a carbon-silicon bond. A preferred silicone employed in the method of the invention is a preparation by reaction of trimelletic anhydride (TMA) with a gamma amino propyl endcapped silicon (GAP) fluid with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) block length of "n". As an example, there is a preferred class of polymer represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein n is a positive inteqer of at least 1 up to about 1,000 which includes a range of from 4 to about 40. For convenience, the polymers of formula (IV) may be referred to schematically as "Gn TMA" wherein n is a whole number of 1 to about 1,000. Additionally, carboxylic acid functionalized silicones may be prepared by peroxide promoted reaction of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or ester with a silane (Si--H) containing silicone; by platinum catalyzed addition of alkenyl nitriles to silane containing silicones followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile group to yield the carboxylic acid or by other methods known to those skilled in the art.
Forming the compositions of this invention may be accomplished by any conventional melt blending technique. Melt blending may be accomplished in a conventional thermoplastic extruder, from which the admixture may be molded into an article of specific dimensions or extruded to obtain a film or sheet product.
In the melt blending procedure, advantageously employed in the method of the invention, the polycarbonate resin and the silicone resin are simply heated to a melt temperature and admixed. The silicone fluid and the polycarbonate resin may be pre-mixed by dissolving them in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride, and then allowing the solvent to evaporate off before or during melt blending. Alternatively the silicone and polycarbonate resin may be preblended in powder, pellet or liquid form. It is also possible to introduce the silicone fluid into a polycarbonate melt. A residence time at melt blending temperatures is needed, of sufficient length to achieve the desired reaction. The extent of reaction between the carboxylic acid functionalized silicone and polycarbonate resin will depend on the exact structure of each component, the method and temperature of contact and the length of time the resins are in contact. Generally best results are achieved with intensive melt mixing at 325-375.C. for 1-5 min. Care must be taken to avoid temperatures which can substantially decompose the reactants or products.
The product of the reaction may be extruded into usable forms such as sheets or pellets for later molding or may be molded directly after melt blending, into desired articles of commerce. Conventional analysis of the product ('H NMR) may be used to determine the percentage of polydimethylsiloxane in the copolymer product, when so desired.
Although we are not to be bound by any theory of operation, we believe that during the reaction which occurs during melt blending according to the method of the invention a small portion of the silicon fluid may be incorporated into the product in a rearranged form, resulting in some advantageous physical properties. The melt blended compositions of the invention may contain other ingredients such as stabilizers, flame retardants, mold release agents, foaming agents, reinforcing agents, pigments, and other thermoplastic resins. Examples of other thermoplastic resins include polyesters, polyphenylene ethers, polyimides and the like. Also included are fillers and reinforcing fibers such as, for example, glass and carbon. The fillers may include, for example, silica, talc, clay, mica, calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate. The amount of additive present is dependent upon the desired effect and it is within the knowledge of those skilled in the art to determine the appropriate amounts.
On a weight basis the polycarbonate and the polydiorganosiloxane may be widely varied and within weight ratios of from 1:99 to 99:1. The specific proportions selected will of course be reflected in the physical properties of the block copolymers of the invention. As the proportion of siloxane blocks increases, so will the flexability and elasticity of products molded from the compositions. The preferred range of composition is 1-50 wt. percent silicone. The most preferred range is 1-10 wt. percent silicone.
The final use of the siloxane copolymer will reflect the range composition and the molecular weight of the components employed. For stiff, high impact injection molding application it is advantageous to use a high molecular weight polycarbonate resin (intrinsic viscosity 0.8 dl/g measured at 25.C. in methylene chloride solution).
The following examples describe the manner and the process of making and using the invention and set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor for carrying out the invention but is not to be construed as limiting. Where indicated the following test procedures were carried out.
Tensile Strength, Modulus and Elongation:
According to the ASTM test method D-638.
Notched Izod Impact Strength (NI):
According to the ASTM test method D-256. All specimens were 100% ductile at failure.
Flexural Strength
According to ASTM test method D-790.
Intrinsic viscosity (I.V.)
Intrinsic viscosity analyses were performed in methylene chloride at 25�C.
Kasha Index (KI)
The procedure for determining the Kasha Index is as follows: 7 grams of resin pellets, dried a minimum of 90 minutes at 125�C. are added to a modified Tinius-Olsen T3 melt indexer; the temperature in the indexer is maintained at 300 C and the resin is heated at this temperature for 6 minutes; after 6 minutes the resin is forced through a 1.05 mm radius orifice using a plunger of radius 4.7 mm and an applied force of 7.7 kgs; the time required for the plunger to travel 5.1 cm is measured in centiseconds and this is reported as the Kasha Index (KI).
Percentage of PDMS Calculations
Calculations of percentage of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in the polycarbonate/PDMS copolymers is determined using proton NMR as follows: ##EQU1##
A dry 2 L four neck flask was fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer connected to a temperature control device, a stopper, and a condenser connected to a positive pressure of Argon. The reactor was charged with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (1042 g, 14.0 mole of dimethyl siloxane), aminopropylpolymethylsiloxane (General Electric Product Identification # 88849, FW =910 g/mole, 846 g, 0.93 mole), and 20 wt. % tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide in methanol (9.5 g solution, 1.9 g. 0.21 mole Me4 NOH). The reaction was stirred for 19 hours at 80 C. The solution was raised to 160�C. for 11/2 hours and vigorously sparged for 11/2 hours. 1664 g of material was recovered.
A 3 L two neck flask was fitted with a mechanical stirrer and a Dean Stark trap which was connected to a condenser which was connected to positive pressure of Argon. The reactor was charged with (835.2 g, 0.47 mole) of the material produced above, trimelletic anhydride (181 g, 0.94 mole), and toluene (500 mL). The mixture was refluxed overnight with 17.2 ml of water removed. The toluene was removed via rotary evaporator (final conditions, 95�C., 2 torr). 29 Silicon NMR:+7.5 (s, 7.2 Si),-10.3(s,0.3 Si), -21.9 (m, 92.5 Si). These integration values indicate a PDMS block length of 28, i.e., in the formula Gn TMA, n=28.
A blending of 5 parts by weight of the polydiorganosiloxane prepared in accordance with the procedure of Preparation 1, supra and a polycarbonate (PC) resin (Lexan�, a bisphenol-A homopolymer, I.V. of 1.2; dl/g; ML-4735, General Electric Company, Mount Vernon, Ind.). The polydiorganopolycarbonate was mixed in, using a Henschel mixer for 1 to 3 minutes. The mix was introduced into an extruder maintained at a temperature of 340.C. All extrusions were performed on a Werner-Pfleiderer ZSK30 corotating twin screw extruder with a 27:1 length/diameter ratio. A representative sample of the extrudate was tested for physical properties, which are reported in Table I, below. For comparative purposes the polycarbonate resin was also tested and the test findings are also set forth in the Table I.
The procedure of Example 1, supra., was repeated except that a trimethylsiloxy-terminated siloxane fluid with a block length of 127 was extruded into the polycarbonate resin, at a 5 percent (w/w) level. The material could not be molded into test parts due to slipping of the pellets on the moving machine screw.
TABLE I______________________________________ Example 1 Control PC-Siloxane Example Graft Copolymer PC (No Siloxane)______________________________________125 mil N. Izod 888 888(J/M)250 mil N.

Table I shows that the PC-silicone graft copolymer has superior performance to the unmodified PC with improved thick section impact (250 mil N. Izod) and better tensile elongation. The copolymer also shows vastly improved flow vs the unmodified PC as measured by the Kasha Index.
A simple blend of silicone fluid in polycarbonate (Example 2) could not be injection molded into test parts. However, examination of the compounded pellets showed loss of transparency in comparison to the clear graft copolymer of Example 1.
The transparency of the extruded samples in comparison to blends of silicone with polycarbonate resin which are opaque indicates that the acid functionalized silicone chemically bonded to the polycarbonate during extrusion. The formation of polycarbonate-siloxane copolymer was confirmed by chemical analysis. A solution of melt grafted copolymer was prepared in methylene chloride and passed through a silica gel column. Proton NMR analysis showed no loss of siloxane. A solution of unreacted (i.e. not extruded) acid functionalized siloxane and polycarbonate was completely separated by the same procedure, thus demonstrating chemical bonding during the extrusion process.

Maître de maison of Les Sources des Alpes
Born in Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna in 1951, I was raised by my aunt and my grandfather, an old shepherd. For a long time, I ate vegetables from our garden and drank milk from my grandfather's goats. I only spoke Corsican until I started school at the age of 5. Later on, I left for the Ivory Coast and a life of adventure as a pilot. When I returned to Corsica I very happily stumbled into the hotel business. Now, I only want to share the love that I have for my island and give back some of the beauty that it brings.

Camo-clad crowds say goodbye to 'BUCKWILD' star
CHARLESTON, W.Va. For all his on-camera carousing, "BUCKWILD" reality TV star Shain Gandee was a Christian, and his mother says she'll see him again.
At her 21-year-old son's funeral Sunday, Loretta Gandee told mourners that a month ago, Shain said he knew he'd go to heaven when he died.
Family pastors say Shain declared his faith a few years ago and was baptized. They urged hundreds of young people packing the Charleston Municipal Auditorium to do the same.
Shain, uncle David Gandee and a third man were found dead April 1 inside a sport-utility vehicle that was partially submerged in a mud pit near Shain's home in Sissonville.
Autopsies determined all three died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Police say the muffler was below the surface and that mud covered the passenger side.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
As hundreds of tearful friends and fans filed past two closed coffins Sunday, a slideshow of family photos showed the simple country life that "BUCKWILD" reality TV star Shain Gandee lived long before the cameras started rolling.
Set to country music were snapshots of the 21-year-old before his 15 minutes of televised fame: as a uniformed pee wee football player, in a tuxedo for prom, graduating from high school, kissing a bride and holding babies. In some, he wore hunting camouflage, holding a slain buck by its antlers and displaying a batch of gray squirrels.
Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old friend Donald Robert Myers were found dead April 1 in a sport utility vehicle that was partially submerged in a deep mud pit near Sissonville. They had been missing after being seen leaving a bar at 3 a.m.
Autopsies determined that all three died of carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly caused by the vehicle's tailpipe being submerged in mud. That could have allowed the invisible gas to fill the vehicle's cabin.
Shain, nicknamed "Gandee Candy" by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of a group of young friends enjoying their wild country lifestyle. It was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston.
Gandee favored four-wheelers, pickups and SUVs over cell phones and computers, and "mudding," or off-road driving, was one of his favorite pastimes. It was no coincidence that some mourners arrived at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium in mud-splattered trucks.
Dreama and Charlie Frampton, who live a few doors down from Gandee, said he had been playing in the mud since he was 5.
"If it wasn't a four-wheel drive truck," Dreama said, "it was a four-wheeler or a dirt bike."
"He was dedicated to the sport," Charlie added. "That's all you can do out in the country."
Gandee's family asked mourners to wear camouflage or Gandee Candy T-shirts to the visitation and service because Shain didn't like to dress up. They planned a private service and burial later in the afternoon.
Ricky Sater, 23, said his friend would have loved the sea of camo that filled the auditorium.

Cabelas Locations to open in Virginia and Ontario
SIDNEY, Neb. – Cabela's Incorporated (NYSE:CAB), the World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to introduce Cabela's unique retail experience and legendary customer service to two new markets: Gainesville, Va., and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Cabela's anticipates a spring 2017 opening for the 79,000-square-foot store. It will be located at the intersection of Linton-Hall Road and Lee Highway and will be adjacent the Virginia Gateway Center, a 1.3 million-square-foot shopping center featuring national retail, restaurant and hotel brands. Peterson Companies Inc. is the developer.
Gainesville is now Cabela's third announced location in Virginia, joining the 82,000-square-foot Bristol store scheduled to open in fall 2015, and the 97,500-square-foot Short Pump location expected to open in spring 2016. Cabela's expects to employ approximately 190 full-time and part-time employees at the store, most of whom will come from Gainesville and the surrounding area.
"The fact that Cabela's is bringing three new stores to Virginia speaks volumes to the outdoor opportunities and lifestyle in the state, as well as Virginians' passion for the Cabela's brand," said Tommy Millner, Cabela's Chief Executive Officer. "The Gainesville store also will be a great location for our customers in Maryland and West Virginia."
The store will be built in Cabela's new-format layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor-like experience with a large mountain replica, museum-quality wildlife displays and an aquarium. In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the store will include an indoor archery range and archery tech room, Gun Library, Bargain Cave, deli and fudge shop.
Also, it will include a full-service boat shop and a comprehensive selection of Cabela's Wildlife and Land Management products, including tractors, attachments and implements. Additionally, the store's staff will host educational seminars and demonstrations throughout the year offering tips and insight on outdoor products and activities.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2015, and Cabela's plans to open the store in the spring of 2016. The 70,000-square-foot store will be located near the intersection of Palladium Drive and Highway 417. It will anchor the newly planned Kanata West Centre, which is being developed by Taggart Realty Management.
The store will be Cabela's second location in Ontario, joining the 70,000-square-foot Barrie location opened in July. Cabela's expects to hire approximately 175 full-time and part-time employees, most of whom will come from Ottawa and the surrounding area.
"Cabela's has experienced great success in Canada, and we're absolutely thrilled to continue our Canadian expansion with an Ottawa location," Millner said. "What better way to show Cabela's commitment to serving our loyal Canadian customers than bringing a store to the nation's capital."
The store will be built in Cabela's new-format Canadian layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor-like experience with a large mountain replica and museum-quality wildlife displays.

Additionally, the store's staff will host educational seminars and demonstrations throughout the year, offering tips and insight on outdoor products and activities.
Cabela's Canada was established in 2007 with a store and headquarters for Canadian operations in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 2010, Cabela's Canada opened its current corporate headquarters and call center in Winnipeg.
Currently, Cabela's operates 64 stores across North America and has announced plans to open an additional 19 stores over the next two years.

I have been just the teensiest, tiniest bit totally sucked into some local school board politics for the last month or so. And for the first time since maybe 1991, when I graduated law school, I have been channeling my inner, loudmouthed idealist daily. It's been awesome!
What this has looked like is me attending a lot of board meetings, plus smaller meetings among like-minded parents, lots of emails, and throwing together a totally new blog in 12 days. Plus the other parts of my life, like, oh, work, parenting, singing in the choir, and such.
I mention all this because all this interaction and activity wears me the hell out, frankly. I also have been pretty obsessively thinking about this stuff in every spare moment, plus a lot of moments that aren't spare.
In many ways, it has felt like I'm right back in the corporate and legal world overload. But this time, I'm handling it better than ever before. I chalk this up to 3 or 4 practices Continue reading

Escapade is a vacation villa rental located on the heights of Marigot in St Barts in the French Caribbean.

Despite just three wins over the previous two seasons, optimism is strong for the Elkhart Memorial football team.
"I believe we should have a winning season this year," senior linebacker Kaleb Summers. "We have a lot of veterans, lot of leadership. It should be a good season."
The Chargers return 14 starters from last year's squad. They understand two wins in 2013 and just one in 2012 are unacceptable for their program.
"We use it as fire and motivation for every conditioning and practice," senior quarterback Trevor Trowbridge explains. "We use our records really the past two years to step up our game and prove a point this year."
Memorial is entering year number three under coach Bill Roggeman. He believes his team is making the right strides but as he says, " the proof will be in the pudding."
As always, Memorial will get its most important challenge right out of the gate to start the season. The Chargers will open the year by hosting arch rival Central in the Battle for the Mangy Lion on August 22nd. It will be our Martin's Spotlight Game of the Week in Week 1 of the season.

Identification Longshot and Talking Point 716

Good Evening All.
Because I do listen and take onboard words of wisdom from all those who cudgel the old grey cells on a Friday night I now think it is about time I revised the criteria needed to obtain a Well Done as I feel, in some instances, I have been awarding them too lightly.
As we all know the Well Done cannot be bought, inveigled or even replicated and is much sought after, more so than a Gold Medal in the 100 metres but I now feel it should only be awarded for a Complete Identification.
If I post a view of a particular building, street or view etc, identifying just the town will only merit a brand new and hitherto unknown Good Call. Only on naming the actual street, building or view etc will elicit the much prized, prestigious Well Done ;o}
Unless specifically requested, clues will not be given until just after 23:00hrs - that's if I remember of course ;o}}
All this could change of course depending on what mood I am in, after all "I am just a fickle, stupid human being with a poor memory and a great gift for self deprecation" my apologies for plagierizing and rewriting a Suzanne Collins quote.
Feel free to offer your two penn'orth!
Bearing all that in mind I thought I would start off with an easy one ;o}

Brumas, You only mentioned that hoping we would all remember and send you best wishes etc. Well I might....then again I may just send you a "Good Call".
john bunyan. I think I speak for all the forum members when I say "We wish you Good luck and a quick recovery".
Take your lap top in with you and you can still stop anybody else winning a coveted "Well Done" accolade.

Also, if a town, which is not in the same county, is submitted I will probably confirm the fact.

Servings Per Recipe: 1
"Wow! This is potent! I love limoncello and this was a nice, easy drink to sip on. Thanks Lynn. Made for ZWT7 for the Emerald City Shakers."
"My DH`s favorite liqueur. I liked this because the vodka cut the sweetness of the limoncello. Thanks Made for ZWT 2011"
"This is the first time I've had lemoncello. I really enjoy the strong lemon flavor. It is a little strong for with with the added vodka, so I added the ice back into the drink. Made for ZWT7-Italy"
"Limoncello was calling my name, so I had to make this. This is strong, but that's fine with me! Now, if I could just learn to cut a lemon into a pretty spiral, I'd be set!"
"Wow! This is a very strong martini. I used some home made lemoncello. A great sipping drink before a meal. Made for ZWT7"
"This was very good as written, just too sweet for me. I think with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice it would be a 5 star recipe, that would bring it over the top!"
"Delicious. First time using limoncello and I love it. Thanks diner :) Made for I Recommend Tag Game"
"Delicious! We love limoncello, and this is a great martini. Thanks for sharing!"
"Potent and good. I enjoyed sipping on this one. I made one and a half servings for myself and it packed quite a punch!"

Mobile game sales continue to show strong performance during the first quarter of 2006, with wireless consumers buying more than 8.2 million games on their phones in March, up 53 percent from 5.4 million in January 2006, according to Telephia. The number of unique mobile game buyers also jumped significantly, surging 44 percent from nearly 3.5 million in January to five million in March.
The Telephia Mobile Game Report shows that EA Mobile, I-Play, Gameloft, Namco, Hands-On Mobile, Glu Mobile, THQ Wireless, Oasys Mobile, Sony Pictures Mobile, and Mobliss were the top 10 revenue generators, accounting for 75 percent of mobile game industry revenue.
The true measure of performance for a publisher or a game title is the revenue it drives from purchases, said Kanishka Agarwal, Vice President of New Products, Telephia. Measuring the industry's performance based on downloads alone is irresponsible and misleading, especially given the extent of free trials in this rapidly growing industry.
During the first quarter of the year, nearly 12 percent of all game downloads were free, with extreme variability from one publisher to another. For example, 49 percent of Glu Mobile's downloads were free of charge, while Hands-On Mobile had less than one percent of its downloads for free, added Agarwal.
Telephia's Top Mobile Game Publishers by Revenue Share (U.S.; Q1 2006)
EA Mobile
Hands-On Mobile
Glu Mobile (w/iFone)
THQ Wireless
Oasys Mobile
Sony Pictures Mobile
Source: Telephia Mobile Game Report, Q1 2006
Telephia publisher rankings by share of downloads are: EA Mobile (27.4%), Namco (8%), Glu Mobile (with iFone) (7.8%), I-Play (6.9%), Gameloft (6.7%), and Hands-On Mobile (5.7%).
Top-ranked publishers based on percent of downloads with no charge are Oasys Mobile (57.0%), Glu Mobile (with iFone) (49.2%), EA Mobile (8.3%), Gameloft (4.6%), and Hands-On Mobile (0.1%).
Top-ranked mobile game titles
Telephia's Q1 2006 Mobile Game Report ranks Tetris (5.2%), Tetris Deluxe (3.6%), Bejeweled (2.6%), JAMDAT Mahjong (2.2%), and Ms. Pac-Man (2.0%) as the top five mobile game titles in terms of revenue share. Telephia is able to separate Tetris from Tetris Deluxe, two very different game titles priced very differently, due to its research methodology.
Capturing actual purchase behavior from consumer bills is essential for accurate measurement,Agarwal said. Publisher share based on survey claims of downloaded titles is very inaccurate due to limitations of survey respondent recall of details. For example, consider a game like Solitaire where there are 14 different titles from 9 different publishers in the marketplace. At best, survey respondents may be able to recall downloading Solitaire, but not the specific title or publisher. Hence, it is not possible to precisely assign a survey claim of a Solitaire download to a specific publisher, resulting in inexact publisher share numbers.
About the market research study
Telephia providers detailed mobile content audience and revenue measurement directly from the bills of an opt-in panel of nearly 35,000 mobile consumers, which sets it apart from other market research firms. As part of the Telephia Audience Metrics product suite, the Mobile Game Report provides share of revenue, share of downloads, and demographic profiling by title, genre, publisher and carrier.

As Tom Ronnuto points out, Wade is pouring Moët Ice Impérial, the "1st champagne created to be enjoyed on ice" on his post game ice. This is just one of the 100 bottles Moët the Heat popped in the locker room after Game 7. They then went through another 100 bottles of Dom Pérignon at the club.

The woman I spent my younger years listening to in all her (and mine) melancholic glory is back. Meow. Well kind of. This track is a remix of Cat Power's 1996 song "Kings Ride By" with Filipino boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao mesmerizingly getting into it with a punching bag for the video. Giovanni Ribisi directed it, did you know he and Chan Marshall (AKA Cat Power) are going out? I didn't until today. I also found out she is working on a new album.
I'm mildly excited for that — but you know it is true, sadly, the older I get the less exciting new music is and the less likely it is to really change my life the way You Are Free did back in the day. But anyway, no need for any of that negativity. I really did love her, probably why it's the song on repeat for this grey wintery afternoon. I loved her for her beautiful raspy voice, depressing lyrics, classic cool girl grunge style and her insane onstage antics. Were you at the show where she hid behind the curtain for half of the concert or the one where she lip-synched rap songs the whole time to a booing audience? She is a nutter, or apparently was. Gotta love her for it though.

Would you buy Tom Ford's minaudiere-friendly Lips & Boys mini lipsticks?
So much hysteria over a lipstick! But you can kind of see why Tom Ford's Lips And Boys collection of 50 minature lippies is causing a storm. Ford does make exceedingly good lipsticks and these tap into our desire for teeny trinkets while also being rather practical (yep, I totally fell for the marketing schpiel – whoops). Plus, each one is named after a man Ford has known (Alexander is named after his two-year-old son, fyi).
As Ford puts it, handbag real estate is at a premium at night time. There really is no place for a chunky lipstick in today's micro clutch, so these fulfill the need for weeny makeup to match the weeny jewelled minaudiere. "People carry teeny-tiny little bags today, and are trying to fit their iPhone, money and a key," he told WWD. "I think the idea of a small bag is modern, and you need to be able to fit a lipstick into that small space. It seems that there's a trend these days to miniaturise things."
The lipsticks arrive in the US on November 28th at 12:01am on Tomford.com. In the UK, Selfridges is first in line with a one day flash sale selling the mini-me lipsticks on 1st December. You can sign up here. But will you? If you're not caught up in the pre-Christmas frenzy, then there's also the chance to buy on Tom Ford counters from 26th December. (Hmmm, is Boxing day the new Christmas eve for shopaholics, I wonder?) But remember, they will be limited edition so I can't see them hanging around for long.
If you prefer the traditional type of Tom Ford lipstick, this season sees a new matte lipstick released from his popular line of vitamin-enriched lip products (below). As expected, the colour palette is stunning, with glamorous berry and red shades as well as the default pinky nudes for the smokey-eye-pale-lip brigade. The Tom Ford Lip Color Matte collection (£37) comes in eight shades with a rich, satin-matte finish (I tried and loved Ruby Rush, a pigment-packed deep red). It's available at Harvey Nichols, Harrods and John Lewis.

Aerin Essentials and two new fragrances
Aerin Lauder is really getting into her stride as a flag bearer of no-brainer beauty, a slightly girlier version of Bobbi Brown if you will.
Where Bobbi is all about the everyday make-up in graphic, black packaging, AERIN does the same job but with luxe golden compacts and pastel-pink or pastel-printed boxes. The prints are a really nice (and original) touch that have become a brand signature. If you know anything about Aerin Lauder (not that I'm obsessed or anything), you'll know she's all about the NY-Hamptons lifestyle, with plenty of outdoorsy inspiration driving the brand aesthetic. Continue reading
Is Into The Gloss entering into the beauty product space? It sure looks like it. Everyone's favourite beauty site is leaking sneak previews of 'Glossier' on Insta here and on first glance it's looking extremely enticing… UPDATE! IT'S JUST LAUNCHED! It's starting with skincare, is fairly affordable and all the deets are at Glossier.com. (No international shipping yet but they're working on it…) Continue reading
Matte or glow? Two new foundation favourites
This has been a big year for foundation launches but I still haven't found a match for my holy grail Myface Mymix which is down to its final squirt.
Close though is Burberry's Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid foundation (£35). Can I be honest? I wasn't entirely convinced by Burberry's beauty ambitions at first, so I tested this with lowish expectations. Readers – it's a keeper. The texture is a moisturising satin fluid that comes out of a pump bottle (which is wayyy too big but I'll let that pass). Continue reading
Beauty hero: Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss
Only one more sleep until the launch of what could possibly be my favourite beauty product of the year. The new Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss is a hybrid of lip gloss and lipstick and it's absolutely faultless. Continue reading
Shiseido secrets for fast beauty
I loved hearing about Shiseido Secrets at a recent Shiseido make-up launch. It's a cute awareness project that flags up its hero products such as its famous eyelash curler. These are apparently a bit of a beauty insider wonder tool, designed as they are for the straightest lashes of them all: Asian ones.
My own Shiseido Secrets include an old product and a new one. I love using Shiseido face wipes. At £16.50, Shisedo Pureness Refreshing Cleansing Sheets (to give them their full name) are an irregular indulgence but they do the best job if you're a lazy make-up taker-offer. Buy it HERE.
And my new discovery is the Shiseido Sheer And Perfect Compact (£29), a light powder foundation. Deep Ochre (no 80) is my perfect colour match with just the right amount of yellow. Continue reading
Buy it now: Bobbi Brown's Perfect Nudes
Bobbi Brown is the undisputed queen of nudes. Her shades and textures are second to none – I've always relied on her flattering lipsticks since way back in the 90s when she practically invented the no-make-up-make-up look.
This month it's all about great textures to flatter natural-looking eyes, lips and face. Continue reading
Tom Ford's luxe beauty essentials
Tom Ford Beauty launches are always a pleasure. But aside from the posh location and lavish nibbles, it's the products that really deliver. For autumn, the hero product is the Traceless Perfecting Foundation (£62) which comes in fifteen shades. Its big claim is to deliver a humidity-resistant matte finish so you shouldn't need more than a cursory touch-up. Continue reading
Try it now: post-summer beauty
How good was the beauty look in my last editorial shoot? Make-up artist Jessica Mejia nailed the post-summer contemplative mood perfectly with highlit cheekbones, sepia lids and well, that's pretty much it. She kindly wrote down her how-to (below) and while the ingredients list isn't lengthy, it's all down to technique. Continue reading
Coming soon: Chanel Vitalumiere Loose Powder Foundation and Le Blanc de Chanel in a pump bottle!

I did an interview with a writer for the Wall Street Journal – apparently they like to report on relationships and communication styles and not just financial issues – and it should be on your local newsstand today. You can also read it here . She decided to only include a few sound bytes from me as part of a larger discussion so I'm including our entire conversation here for those who are interested. The title pretty much describes the nature of the interview. And let us all note right now the Wall Street Journal's unwillingness to even mention my book. Not cool, money people.
Is there a gender issue at play here (e.g., do women talk more than men? The brain research shows that this is the case, but I assume it's not an absolute, right?)
When I'm not at work I'm almost incapable of shutting up, so this is definitely not an absolute, more of a stereotype. This comes from a very general idea that women prefer having their thoughts be understood and validated where men tend to be more bottom line, problem-solving people. The reality is, however, is that men and women usually want both styles of listening.
One partner talking more in a relationship isn't inherently a problem; rather, it's when one or both parties perceives he/she is not being heard. Some people are very verbose when expressing themselves, others quite brief. As long as you are getting your message across and you know your partner as hearing it, you're not likely to have nearly as many communication clashes.
Do you think opposites attract in this regard – that talkers do well with non-talkers – so if a talker is paired with another talker, will they strangle each other trying to dominate the talking?
Not necessarily. I've met many people who prefer to be the more "submissive" in conversations, but that can be due to shyness, an enjoyment of being more of an observer than participant or simply a brief communication style. If two talkers get together, the strangling will only occur if there aren't subtle or overt rules in place to allow mutual expression (e.g., you talk for 5 minutes, then I go).
What happens when two non-talkers get together? Are they in heaven, or is this a bad combo?
This can go either way (as you can probably tell by now, psychology isn't an exact science). Some people prefer comfortable silence and simply enjoy their partner's non-verbal communication. Words aren't the only form of expression. Touch, facial cues and body language can all convey the human experience very well if done correctly.
I've talked to so many non-talkers, especially men, who say that they just can't process as much language as their partners and that they sometimes tune out. How can they learn to cope, to listen better?
The best way to avoid tuning out is to have the "talker" take quick breaks and have the "non-talker" attempt to relay back what was said to him, and then for him to add his thoughts. This helps both parties be on the same page. The non-talker should also feel free to say, "let me have a quick breather, I'm running out of listening gas. Let's come back to this in a few minutes."
How can talkers learn to keep the attention of the non-talker?
Pause, pause, pause! Ask for feedback, request his/her opinion. Conversation isn't a monologue. Remember that you are talking "with" a person, not "at" one.
What can desperate couples do if one or both parties is not getting enough "talk time?"
I've had friends, as well as innumerable clients grapple over this issue, to the point where one person needs to be holding the "Talking Hat," using an egg timer to put a cap on time spent talking by one party and even forcing one person to talk in sign language as a way to add brevity. Some have added email to their conversations so that one person doesn't "zone out" and can go through the others' thoughts line by line, and I had one couple who used an "it's only X's night to talk, Y can only write down thoughts to share tomorrow" method for keeping the conversation balanced.
These are just tools for couples who can't get into a communication rhythm, where one person isn't being heard or understood. It's simply a way of breaking communication patterns, especially for more extreme or entrenched problems. As artificial as it may sound, if you are required to be holding an object to speak, or know you only have X amount of time, you'll be more cognizant of your surroundings (i.e., the person you're talking with). You'll realize there are rules to communication and not simply a forum to ramble at your whim instead of being part of a dyad.
Do you think that technology (smart phones, email, texting) adds to this problem or helps solve it? For example, I have a friend who insists he'd rather text than email because he doesn't like to talk much. But i find it to be a lousy way to communicate and hate it.
It's a great way to communicate for people who are good writers and for those who want to simply address a single issue. Much can get lost in the written word so it's important to be able to express yourself clearly. It's also good for "closed communication;" for example, yes or no questions and issues, and much less useful for open-ended questions (e.g., tell me about your thoughts on this subject) and exploration. Kids seem to have callouses on their fingers harder than Jimi Hendrix did and can text ad infinitum, but for the rest of us, too much just leads to miscommunication. And carpel tunnel.
Is there anything else you want to say about this topic?
You want me to continue to be the "talker?" (laughs heartily at his clever pun)
For non-talkers, keep in mind that being silent is not the same as active listening. Be sure to be paying attention when someone else is speaking and use cues to suggest you are with that person (e.g., head nods, "yeah, I hear you" statements, etc.). Talkers, remember that it's easy to forget there are other people in the universe. Twitter, Facebook and other tools of the devil have promoted as "say as much as you want, whenever you want" society. Pay attention to the feedback you are getting when speaking.
