CHICAGO — The value of natural colors has exceeded the value of artificial and synthetic colors on a global basis, according to joint research from Mintel and Leatherhead Food Research.
The shift happened for the first time in 2011 when global sales of natural colors reached $600 million, up 29% from 2007 and representing an annual growth rate of more than 7%. The share of natural varieties in the total food colors market has increased from 34% in 2007 to almost 39% in 2011. On the other hand, artificial and synthetic colors grew in value sales by less than 4% from 2007 to 2011. The segment is now at $570 million, or 37% of the overall market, a decline from 40% in 2007.
Overall, the global use of natural colors in new launches of foods and beverages outweighs the use of artificial and synthetic colors by 2 to 1. Europe has led the way in using natural colors as these countries used them in 85% of new product launches between 2009 and 2011.
"The drive for natural food formulations will endure in the global food and drink industry as consumers continue to seek simplicity and purity in food and drink ingredient lists," said Rachel Wilson, principal technical advisor at Leatherhead Food Research. "The use of natural colors in new food and drink launches will thus continue to outpace artificial colors globally in the foreseeable future."
The food industry represents a 70% share of the natural food colors market with soft drinks at 27% and alcoholic beverages at 3%.

A New York State Supreme Court judge has dismissed a case brought against Nassau County by the Sheriff's Officers Association for demoting correction officers as part of cost cutting.
Late last year, at the request of Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, the Legislature abolished 30 correction corporal positions in the budget.
Rather than lay off these employees, Mangano and County Sheriff Michael Sposato determined the corporals would be demoted to correction officers. The demotions saved the county $214,000, or about $7,133 per officer. John Jaronczyk, president of the Sheriff's Officers Association, the union representing the county's correction officers, said the move was done without any input from the union and dropped morale among correction officers at the jail to their lowest levels ever. The demotions took effect in January after a two-week delay.
[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]The Sheriff's Officers Association filed a lawsuit seeking to rescind the demotions, saying the delay nullified the ordinance. According to the ordinance, the demotions were to occur on Dec. 29. They were delayed until Jan. 12, which Jaronczyk said would have necessitated another ordinance.
The union claimed the demotions were not done immediately and therefore should have no effect. That lawsuit was dismissed today by State Supreme Court Justice Karen Murphy, although Jaronczyk has promised to appeal the decision upon full review of Murphy's decision. The union's attorneys did not receive word of the decision until reading about it in the Long Island Business News.
But, at least for the moment, Nassau County officials feel vindicated by Murphy's decision.
"We believed that the actions of the county were proper and justified, and the Court has now upheld those actions," said County Attorney John Ciampoli.

PoliticsIn Pakistan, all politics is local While keeping across national matters is important, understanding local issues is key to winning elections. Asad Hashim | 10 May 2013 09:47 GMT | Politics, Pakistan PPP supporters welcome Firdous Ashiq Awan, who has prioritised local politics in her area [Asad Hashim/Al Jazeera]Sialkot, Pakistan - Among Pakistan's election candidates, Firdous Ashiq Awan is a bit of an outlier in the dataset. The 43-year-old from the eastern Punjab city of Sialkot is neither the daughter of a major landowner, nor is she related to any leading members of the country's political classes. And yet Awan is contesting the 2013 general election for the national assembly on a "general" ticket, rather than fighting for one of the parliamentary seats reserved for women. Moreover, she's the incumbent, having first taken the NA-111 seat in 2002 by a handy 46 percent of the total votes cast. Awan's success has been down to a combination of canny politics and remaining solidly connected to her 321,450 constituents' local problems. Firdous Ashiq Awan says she's out to change politics inPakistan [Asad Hahsim/Al Jazeera] "For five years, my experience has been that I have tried to work according to the mandate given to me, and to give [my constituents] as much time as possible," she told Al Jazeera during an impromptu campaign stop at a small textile factory. "[I have] to make sure that the funds and resources allocated for them reach them in an honest way." Despite being a member of the national assembly, which sits in Islamabad, Awan made it a point to return to her constituency every weekend during her five year tenure, following up on programmes she had put in place here. Her projects range from vocational training for unskilled labourers to a 911-style hotline for pregnant mothers to call in order to receive antenatal and postnatal care free of charge, from providing crucial natural gas connections to much of the largely rural electoral district for the first time to opening an old people's home. Awan is proof that, while there may 342 seats in total up for grabs in Islamabad on Saturday, with federal ministries, house subcommittees and all manner of national policies to be formulated, what makes a successful politician in Pakistan is not national rhetoric: it's a connection to local problems and dynamics. Live Box 20135614915921114 Awan herself was asked to vacate her post as federal information minister by her Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in 2012 for spending too much time in Sialkot, rather than focusing on the rest of the country. "My party leadership's complaint was that I was a minister for all of Pakistan, not just for one constituency. So they wanted me to spend every weekend in a different province, rather than spending it in my own constituency. So those were their reservations, which were valid," she said. "They made me the minister of 342 constituencies, and my target was my own people: the people who had given me their votes, to work towards their betterment." That connection to the local, however, also comes with a flipside. Awan says that while she was putting into place social welfare programmes and making herself available to her constituents, she also rejected the traditional modes of exercising power through what is known locally as the "thana-kutchery" system - a term which encompasses the notion that supporters of a political leader can submit petitions to them to intercede on their behalf in most matters, regardless of their relative legality, and to expect a favourable outcome. "My biggest crime when I came here was to end the thana-kutchery culture," she said. "I have been trying to give them a different vision. I have given so much employment to people, to educated young people. And have tried that they vote [for me] based on that." "But people," she complained, "want that when they call me up, that being a parliamentarian, I arrive at the thana. And the politics of the thana is the very thing that I want to change. "Unluckily, after five years I have not been able to change that thought process. Even today, when I am going to campaign in some place, the complaint I am getting is that when someone was arrested, you did not have them released." Politics as it is practiced in Pakistan, she explains, is not about putting systems into place. "In politics here, you have to give [your people] relief in their difficulties, and that's how you 'buy' them. Even when they are wrong, you support them." Of blocks and biraderi Ahsan Iqbal, a three-time member of parliament from the PML-N, is what is referred to in Pakistan as an "electable". Ahsan Iqbal's home is within his campaign headquartersin Narowal [Asad Hashim/Al Jazeera] The central leader of the PML-N has won his seat three times in the town of Narowal, located about 50km east of Sialkot, here on the country's eastern edge, and also served as federal education minister during one stint in the national assembly. Iqbal won his largely rural constituency, NA-117, by more than 20,000 votes last time out, and expects much the same result this year. "There is a mix of three factors when you run for the national assembly in Pakistan," he told Al Jazeera while campaigning in the town. "The first is national politics - that is, the party's vote bank. The second is the candidate's own vote bank [through their work and reputation]. "And the third is the alignment of local power groups." It is that last, perhaps, that is most significant when it comes to rural politics in Pakistan, and helps to explain how Iqbal and legislators like him are able to come to power repeatedly, with consistently strong showings in elections. Rural voters, explained one election campaigner for the PML-N who spoke on condition of anonymity, realise that when it comes to elections, they only have one thing to bargain with: their votes. While those votes may not be worth much on their own, if the residents of a village pool all of their votes together to form a block of perhaps three or four hundred, they suddenly have a bargaining chip. "The system is such that an individual on his own will have a hard time surviving," the campaigner said. "So it makes sense for their survival for them to form a block." That block, researchers and campaigners say, can then be traded in for promises from election candidates to attend to needs such as water connections, sanitation installation or maintenance, roads or education. It also, the PML-N campaigner said, gives the block a form of access to the local member of parliament, in case they need his or her intercession in a dispute. Typically, a rural block will be formed around the village unit, with a local influential or landowner acting as the village's agent in negotiating the "price" of the votes - either in promises or, sometimes, in outright cash. In urban areas, those blocks can be more amorphous, researchers say, and will tend to form around organisations such as traders' associations. Moreover, in both rural and urban contexts, the overarching concern of biraderi [kinship networks] - and how they also offer some form of access to candidates after the election - also plays a role. Nevertheless, Iqbal - whose electoral machinery in Narowal has been in place for more than 20 years and is heavily dependent on the reputation it has built with these block voters - agrees that, at the end of the day, his campaign for high office in Islamabad is still dependent on what he achieves for this sleepy rural Punjabi town. "Local issues and local networks matter," he told Al Jazeera. "And even the youth in rural areas tends to follow traditional [power] structures." This year, Iqbal's opponent is not just any local personality, though: he's a national celebrity. Abrar-ul-Haq, a popular Punjabi pop singer, who is also from Narowal, has decided to challenge Iqbal's hold on the electoral district, taking a ticket from Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to run on a platform of "changing Pakistan's system". Abrar-ul-Haq, a popular Punjabi singer, is challenging fora national assembly seat [Asad Hashim/Al Jazeera] Haq has been involved in social activism for several years, having established the Sahara For Life Trust - which operates a hospital in Narowal - and the Pakistan Youth Parliament. A short man, who speaks with the open smile of one who is accustomed to public life, Haq says he's running for office because he's found that, in his work with youth from all over the country, "there is one common thing: unemployment and frustration". He does realise, however, that it's one thing to want to bring "change", and quite another to win an election in rural Pakistan. "Locally, fighting an election is a different science and a different art. There is no doubt about it. You have to understand the local dynamics of an area," he told Al Jazeera. "If you are talking in terms of getting votes, the dynamics are different, and if you are talking in terms of overall winning the elections, there are other, dangerous aspects involved as well [such as the use of thugs by opposing parties]." Haq likens the idea of the block voting system to livestock trading. "My opponents have this strategy where they say you can either keep a thousand sheep - or you can keep one shepherd, who looks over those thousand sheep. "It's difficult to entertain a thousand sheep, but it's easy to entertain one shepherd." Nevertheless, Haq is confident that he will be able to mobilise enough new voters - a strategy that the PTI is counting on nationally - in order to upset existing voting dynamics and bring in a landslide victory. Meanwhile, in Sialkot, Awan says that she's found the system is, perhaps, more resilient than those out to change it. "[It] was my effort to change the system here - I think that since I have come into politics, five years later I have not changed the system, instead the system has started to change me, little-by-little," she laments. "I have been forced to think that those people who don't have their basic necessities - health, education - they want biraderi, they want the thana-kutchery system." For Awan, this election will be a litmus test for her brand of politics. "This election is going to determine the parameters of [political] change: those who think that the work we have done is for the better and is positive, they will appreciate the work and vote for me. If they think, no, I didn't look after them properly and did not mind the political dynamics of the area, then they won't vote for me. "And this will determine what Pakistan's politics will be like - if they choose the other way, then it means that anyone who tries to change the political system and goes against traditional power structures cannot survive here."

I'm Giovanni, it has now been almost a year since I started hosting on Airbnb and i love hosting people from all over the world.
My interests include working connecting with all kinds of different people, music, food , fitness, and expanding my world view either by visiting new cities or having great conversations with interesting and inspiring people.
Giovanni has completed online and offline ID verification.
Spacious and quiet flat, very convenient and close to restaurants and shops. Giovanni is definitely a great host. Thanks a lot :)
Our stay at Giovanni's apartment was absolutely perfect. It is situated in the historic part of Lecce and was everything we imagined it to be. The apartment was accurately depicted in the photos and everything worked properly, was clean, and he even had some breakfast snacks for us! Clean bed linens and bath towels were provided, along with all of the little comforts we take for granted--basic seasonings in the kitchen, etc. The apartment is fully furnished so all we had to do was show up and enjoy. Since the apartment is in a historic area, we were not allowed to park our car at the home. Instead, there is a safe parking area abut a five minute walk away; it is lit and has security cameras 24/7. Our car was fine the whole weekend (we live in Naples so were initially concerned about security...). However, we were permitted to drive up to the apartment to load and then unload our bags which was quite convenient. We spent a day and a half walking around Lecce, enjoying the old city, shopping, and just looking around. It was fantastic. Giovanni's communication was perfect. He always responded quickly and speaks great English (unfortunately we speak very little Italian). He instructed us to pull into a major hotel parking lot right inside of Lecce and call him once we arrived, and he met us in five minutes and we followed him to the apartment. This was great because we didn't have to worry about driving down a restricted road or anything--and he helped us unload our bags, too. Giovanni gave us great restaurant recommendations to make our stay even more enjoyable. Great host! Giovanni's apartment is highly recommended--we would definitely stay their again.
Appartamento bellissimo e pulito. Appena fuori dalle mura della bella Lecce. Il riscaldamento funzione perfettamente.
Great house & location! And even better service & hospitality by Gio!
Giovanni was a great host, very prompt and friendly. The apartment is quiet and beautifully situated close to downtown Lecce but away from the crowds. We especially enjoyed eating al fresco on the terrace! Internet worked great and si did the heat and the television.
Highly recommended! If you want to stay in Lecce, with all the comforts of a cozy home-away-from-home, this is the place. In top location, you can walk to all bars and restaurants in the old town. Very spacious place with different ambiances. Giovanni responded to our last minute request and provided all comforts and advice.
This place is charming as the name! We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house and meeting Giovanni and his friends. He was such a great host, very friendly and available, trying to helping us and making of our stay a memorable time. The house has everything to have a confortable stay and is very well located in the historical center of Lecce, close to one of the main doors of the city so we could also access by car. We wish to come back soon!! Definitely, very recommended!!
Giovanni è un ospite Preciso, Puntuale e Professionale. Molto attento alla cura dei particolari sia nella cura e nella dotazione dell'appartamento, bellissimo, molto pulito, arredato con gusto e dotato di tutti confort, anche quelli che non ci si aspetta in una casa di vacanza, sia nella comunicazione con gli ospiti, sempre cordiale e cortese. Ottima anche la posizione, nel cuore del centro storico di lecce . Spero di tornare presto nella bellissima Lecce nuovamente ospite di Giovanni.
Giovanni got the trip off to a good start by offering to be at Brindisi airport.He had lots of knowledge about the local area and left printed information in the apartment about restaurants, beaches and towns elsewhere in the Puglia region. He also had a very good ability to explain things in fluent English. The apartment was furnished and equipped as described on the airbnb website and was located close to the old town perimeter wall. The wifi in the apartment worked very well as did the air-conditioning in all the rooms. There were one or two convenience stores nearby and Lecce old town with many restaurants and historic sites was less than five minutes walk away. The apartment offered a well located and comfortable base for a small group of people to have a good holiday in Lecce and also get easy access to other areas in Puglia.
L'appartamento e' veramente bello,dotato di tutti i comfort che si possono desiderare quando si e' lontani dalla propria casa,aria condizionata,wi-fi,un bel terrazzo con ottima vista,cucina spaziosa e ben fornita.Situato in una zona strategica,permette di arrivare a piedi nel cuore del centro storico di Lecce in pochissimi minuti ,pur essendo in una zona silenziosa, dove non abbiamo mai trovato difficolta' nel trovare parcheggio(grazie anche al gentilissimo host Giovanni che ci ha munito di un pass di zona).Giovanni e' una persona eccezionale sempre disponibile per un qualsiasi consiglio di modo tale da far vivere la vacanza senza sorprese nel migliore dei modi.Sicuramente torneremo presto nell'appartamento sweet home!Un sentito ringraziamento a quelle persone che ci hanno fatto meravigliare di una Lecce piena di sorprese:Gio e la fidanzata Ilaria. ricky e nat
Giovanni ha fatto il vero padrone di casa . Ha tenuto la casa in modo méravigloso
Giovanni is very friendly and nice. He is a great guest as he is also a fantastic host! Highly recommend! Thanks for staying at our apartment!
We met Giovanni when we stayed at his Sweet Home Lecce apartment in 2012. Everything about that apartment was perfect, and yet the best thing that came with it was the hosts, Giovanni and Ilaria! We were amazed at how genuinely nice, helpful and friendly these people were, despite the fact that they had never met us before. We could provide examples of what they did for us in order to make sure that our stay there was enjoyable, but no words can do them justice really! You can't really ask for better hosts than Giovanni and Ilaria!!! They certainly made us feel at home while staying at Sweet Home Lecce! (Giovanni and Ilaria, thank you SO much guys--your kindness is very much appreciated!) In addition to that, the apartment itself is truly fantastic—absolutely gorgeous!!! It's located in a quiet street of the historic centre of Lecce, offering thus a uniquely perfect sense of tranquility whilst staying at the most beautiful and most popular area in Lecce. All the sights are within walking distance from the apartment. Also, there are a couple supermarkets nearby, as well as a bus station where you can catch the bus to the lovely beaches of Porto Cesareo. The apartment itself is just amazing! It looks exactly as in the pictures. It's spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully furnished and decorated. When at the apartment, you can enjoy a leisurely dinner either in the modern dining area on the ground floor, or at the brewery-style table on the lower floor (amenities on the lower floor include a big-screen TV, a DVD player, and a collection of DVDs, and, by the way, the acoustics are excellent!). All in all, we cannot recommend Giovanni and his place highly enough!

It's fair to assume that the last thing most people – even most late night hosts – would ask Ice T should they have him locked in a conversation is how he feels about Fifty Shades of Grey. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is not most people, and when Ice T (Ice? Mr. T?) appeared on his show last night, Fallon asked him about America's current cultural obsession. Ice T had some opinions! They're kind of great!
Maine has been in the spotlight for the national television audience for a few years now. This includes the shows taped here in Maine like 'Down East Dickering' and 'North Woods Law'. Now, Animal Planet is coming to Maine to tape an episode of 'Finding Bigfoot'.

I always watch the Daytona 500 as it is the "Super Bowl" of stock car racing. Now to my thoughts on the sport if it is a sport as I have a love hate relationship with NASCAR.
Alert, alert: Will Smith still has it. The star of the upcoming con man romantic comedy drama (co-ma rom-com-dram?) Focus hit The Late Show last night to chat it up with host David Letterman and, oh, yeah, to just randomly rap "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" alongside Letterman's own band. Sure, most late night guests just walk out on stage, give a big hello, and sit down, but not Smith, who seemed determined to remind everyone of his rap roots.
Last night, Taylor Swift appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' then was forced to draw the host without looking and dance on a Jumbotron.
The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon might be prone to brief spats of name-dropping – hey, the guy knows a lot of people! – but on last night's show, it was at least somewhat appropriate. Still recovering from Sunday night's SNL 40 super special, Fallon was eager to share his recollections of the evening with his studio audience (and also Questlove, who was actually there, but who charitably recounted the whole evening with the giddy Fallon). There were a lot of people there!

Microsoft Goes Social (& Local) With Vine
Microsoft is launching Vine today as a limited beta in Seattle only. It's an interesting local/social communications and information tool that plays in the same sandbox as both Twitter and Facebook, and also competes to a degree with online news sites.
Vine is Windows-only software that's intended to sit open on your desktop so that users can keep in touch with people, events, and news happening around them. Microsoft is providing printable invite cards so users can get more out of the app by having friends and family in the beta, as well.
Vine's dashboard shows a map of your area and the current status of contacts also using Vine. There are additional screens to let users send reports or alerts, although the current documentation isn't too clear on the difference between those options.
To some degree, existing tools like email, Twitter, and Facebook have become the default way we send out updates to friends, family, and others in our network. Vine users can send alerts and reports via the software, text message, or email, and the fact sheet seems to suggest that the app will be expanded in the future to allow updating via other services.
An application that can connect with other social services, allow both sending and receiving of data to and from those services, pull in local news from media outlets and other feeds (like local blogs, say), and add local context to all of that data in the form of mapping … now that could become a very compelling tool.
The Seattle Times reports that Microsoft's current focus is on getting local government and emergency management officials to use the tool to broadcast important updates during disasters and other major events. Vine, the article says, is launching with data feeds from more than 20,000 media outlets and public safety organizations such as the NOAA and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Vine is free for individuals at the moment, although Microsoft says on the Vine FAQ that "organizations and individuals will be able to purchase additional services in the future." The Seattle Times adds that future Vine betas are planned for two other unnamed areas — one in the Midwest, and one island community.
There's more Vine discussion on Techmeme.

Surprise! GOP Governors "Stonewall" Key ObamaCare Provision
Talking Points Memo is shocked, shocked!, that Republican governors would leave the job of setting up the exchanges to the Central Government Planning Office
Late last week more than a dozen Republican governors declared that they will not build the insurance market exchanges called for by the Affordable Care Act, including prominent names like Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, John Kasich of Ohio, Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Perry of Texas.
On Monday, Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma joined them, declaring in a statement that it "does not benefit Oklahoma taxpayers to actively support and fund a new government program that will ultimately be under the control of the federal government."
Most people still do not want ObamaCare implemented. It still polls negatively. And Republicans will do all they can to gum up the works of a law that was rammed through the Senate and House.
The Obama administration wants states to build the exchanges so they have an incentive to make the law work. If the federal government takes over, state-level Republicans have a scapegoat in case things go wrong.
That's part of the reason, but, there is a bigger reason
The more states stonewall the exchanges, the more it complicates the task of the federal government. One challenge is that the law lacks an automatic funding mechanism for HHS to set up state exchanges. Enrollment is slated to begin next October, and the exchanges are scheduled to start functioning by January 2014.
So far, over a dozen Republican governors have opted to let the Central Government deal with setting up exchanges. Others have not decided as of yet, but will surely opt for federal exchanges. First, they do not want to be on the hook for helping create an exchange. Second, as mentioned, this puts the blame in Obama's hands. Third, as mentioned, there is no funding mechanism. When the special interests, healthcare companies, and insurance companies wrote the 2,700 page law that no one who provided a "yea" vote for read, they forgot to provide funding to set up and administrate federally run exchanges. And the slush fund for HHS is "only" a billion dollars, not enough to do the job.
The law is also rather murky on the legality of the Central Government setting up federally run exchanges.
So, yes, Republicans are going to gum up the works. Perhaps Democrats should have read the Bill before passing it. Because the GOP controlled House will not allow changes to strengthen the ACA under any circumstances.

Which brand of Kitchen Cabinets to choose
daratwistMay 30, 2013
I am new to the kitchen remodel process. For cabinets, the KD has suggested Bertch Legacy or Diamond as a second choice. I don't know how to compare these two cabinets without extensive research. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on these two brands?
I already know that Legacy cabinets are not available with a "rub" distress. To get that effect, I would have to move up the custom cabinet line. Diamond seems to offer a rub. I also noticed that Diamond has toe kick drawers. Chime in GW's.

BRODE RS ON BY Kw/SM A TTORNE Y Nov. 28, 1961 N. O. BRODERSQN METHOD FOR MAKING PLASTIC ARTICLES Filed Jan. 27. 1959 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 :am ma ./20 INVENTOR. NE/L Q BRODERSON ATTORNEY 3 tilt) 158 Y Marr-ron non Martini; rLAsrrc ARTICLES Neil 0. Broderson, Rochester, NX., assigner to Capital Plastics, Inc., Rochester, NX., a corporation of New York Filed Jan. 27, 1959, Ser. No. 789,346 7 Claims. (Cl. 18-58) This invention relates to methods for forming articles of polymerizable plastic compositions having lightreflective lamellae incorporated therein, to provide the articles with a variegated integral sheen. Integral sheen, as used herein, is generally independent of the surface treatment or conguration of the article and is due to a more or less ordered or systematic orientation within the material itself of lamellae having lightreilecting properties. rIhus the term integral sheen includes the effects commonly referred to in the plastics industry by the terms pearly, nacreous, silky, pearlescent, metallic, and chatoyant. Many substances have been widely used in the plastics industry for imparting integral sheen to various transparent, or translucent, plastic materials. Such substances include pearl essence and other organic substances of similar character, lamellae salts, such as acid lead phosphates and arsenates, and metallic powders such as aluminum and bronze powders. All of these substances have the common property of rellecting light with or without impar-ting coloration to the plastic material within which the lamellae are incor- .porated It is well recognized that in order to obtain integral sheen, the light-reflecting lamellae must be positioned or oriented so that a large percentage thereof lie with their light-reflecting surfaces parallel to each other and subjstantially parallel to the surface of the plastic material which is to have the integral sheen appearance. A highly satisfactory method and apparatus for forming plastic articles having integral sheen is described in application Serial No. 549,948 filed November 30, 1955 by Neil O. Broderson and now abandoned. The method of said application generally comprises forming a suspension of light reflecting lamellae in a polymerizable plastic composition in tacky liquid form introducing the suspension into a container to provide atacky mass thereof having a free surface, contacting the free surface of the mass with a member movable with respect to the container in a plane substantially parallel to the free surface of the mass and moving said member relative to the container to subject the mass to oscillatory motion while causing at least partial induration of the plastic composition. A primary object of the present invention is the provision of a method for forming plastic articles having a greater variety of integral sheen effects than are obtainable by the method of the said application. A further object of the invention is the production of plastic articles having a variegated or patterned integral sheen. Another object of the invention is the provision of a method whereby controlled and reproducible variegated or patterned integral sheen may be obtained in plastic articles. lt has been found that these and other objects and advantages maybe attained by the method of the inven- `tion which comprises forming a suspension of lightreflecting lamellae in a polymerizable plastic composition which is tacky and in liquid form, provid-ing a mass of said suspension having at least one extended surface, applying to localized areas of said surface a substance Yhaving a substantial accelerating action on the ratte of polymerization of said composition, contacting said surlthe surface of the mass. 3,l(l,l58 Patented Nov. 28, 196i face with a coextensive solid member, and thereafter effecting oscillatory movement of the mass in planes parallel to the surface by oscillating the member in its plane while causing at least partial induration of said plastic composition. The contacting solid member may be provided vby a bottom Wall of a container for the mass of plastic composition in which lcase the accelerator is applied to the inner surface of the bottom wall before the plastic composition is put into the container, or the contacting solid member may be applied to the free surface of a mass of the plastic composition vin a suitable container after the accelerator has been applied either to the free surface of the plastic composition in the container or to the contacting surface of a solid member such as a cover plate. In the areas of the surface of the polymerizable mass which are Iin contact with the applied accelerator a localized increase in the rate of polymerization with respect to the remainder of the mass forms local nuclei or zones of relatively higher viscosity. Under the influence of the oscillatory motion of the hardening mass the lamellar pigment particles are to a large degree brought into similar orientation with their faces substantially parallel to However, in the method of the invention, the regularity of orientation of the particles -is locally varied by the drag effect of the zones of higher viscosity produced by the locally applied accelerator composition, thus producing a variegated or patterned rather than a uniform integral sheen. The pattern of the integral sheen thus produced is subject to a wide but controllable and reproducible range of variations vdepending on the pattern of application of the accelerator and the direction and amplitude of the oscillatory movement of the mass. t Instead of applying an accelerating composition to the extended surface of the composition, the variegated integral sheet effects of the invention may also be obtained by irradiating theV extended surface with the accelerating radiation, for example, infra-red light rays, through a contacting plate transparent lto the accelerating radiation, for example, through a suitably masked glass plate. There are numerous plastic compositions, including different formulations of polyester resins, which with added catalysts and'elevated temperatures `pass through a gel state before becoming` hard and rigid.v The cornmercially available polyester resins are well suited for use in the present invention. For example, the reaction product of various dibasic acids., both saturated and unsaturated, with various glycols dissolved in 20 to 50 vpercent of a polymerizable monomer selected from the group styrene, vinyltoluene, diallyl phthalate, methyl methacrylate give very satisfactory results. Peroxide catalyst such as benzoyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and t-butyl perbenzoate may be employed with such polyester resins as is well known in the art, as well as various accelerators and promoters which generally fall into the groups of amines, mercaptans, metallic oxides, metal napthenates, etc. ln general, the choice of catalyst-s, accelerators, and/or promoters, and the quantities of these agents are: determined so that after mixing with the resins and pigments, the resin will not increase substantially in viscosity and undergo gelation before the mixture can be transferred to the mold or before contact with the free surface of the plastic composition -by a portion of the mold is brought about. The pigments required to pro-vide nacreous products fall into two types, organic and inorganic. The quantity of light-,reflecting lamellar pigments employed depends on the degree of lus-ter and optical density desired in the finished product. With guanine crystals derived from antenas iish as little a-s 0.1% to about 0.4% by weight will' give useful products while if inorganic lamellar pigments such as lead acid arsenate, lead acid phosphate, basic lead carbonate are employed from about 0.25% to upwards of 2.0% may be used. In addition to the polyester resins, other poly-meriza-ble plastic compositions may be readily employed in the practice of the present invention, such as, vinyl compounds, styrenes, acrylics, phenolics and aminoplastics. Accelerator compositions which may be applied to localized areas of an extended surface of the polymerizable mass in accordance with the invention are well known in the plastic art. Particularly suitable for use with polyester resin compositions are quaternary a-mine compounds including long chain alkyl groups, such as, lauryl trimethyl ammonium chloride and methyldodecylbenzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, dissolved or dispersed in a suitable medium. The accelerator compositions may be applied to localized areas of extended surfaces of the plastic compositions or to the contacting Surfaces of container Walls or covers in the selected patternl as is more fully described hereinafter, by spraying tbe composition through stencils, by olset printing methods or by free-hand application. The invention will be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. l is a `diagrammatic elevational view' of one form of apparatus suitable for practicing the method of the application; FIG. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged elevation-al view of the mold portions of the appara-tus of FIG. l; and FIGS. 3-6 are illustrative patterns of localized application of accelerator compositions to an extended surface of the pl-astic composition in accordance with the principles of the invention. With reference to FIGS. l and 2 of the drawings, 10 generally designates a support for mold 12. The mold 12 comprises a lower portion or Wall14 having upstanding side portions 16 and a top plate or portion 18. The mold portions 14 and 18 cooperate to provide a cavity adapted to receive a liquid polymerizable plastic composition 20' having incorporated therein lamellae 22 of the light-reilecting type. The base of the lower mold portion 14 is secured to the top of the support lil by frame members or the like 24 which prevent relative movement between the support land mold portion 14. The upper mold portion 18 is secured to a frame or cover 26 by clamps or cleats 28. One of the ends of the framey 26 is provided. with an upstanding` boss 30 having pivotally secured thereto an arm 32, which arm is pivotally mounted to lever arm 34. One end of the lever arm 34 is pivotally mounted to bracket 36l rigidly secured to the. support 10 while the other end of the lever arm 34 is provided with an upstanding resilient member 318 constructed, for example, of spring steel. The spring member 38 has secured thereto a plurality of hand gripping elements 40 in spaced relation to the point of pivotal connection between the arm 32 and the lever 34. A removable weight 42 may be provided for urging the two mold portions 14 and 18 into contact with side portions 16 as shown in FIG. l. In operation of this fonm of the invention a polymerizable plastic material, as described abo-ve, provided with a suitable hardening catalyst and containing lightreecting lamellae, either guanine or synthetic, is poured while in the tacky liquid state within the cavity formed between the cooperating mold portions. An accelerator composition in liquid form is applied in a preselected pattern, for example, the pattern of FIG. 3, to the under surface of upper mold portion 18, as Ischematically indicated at 19 in FIG. 2; or the accelerator may be applied in the same or a different pattern also, or only, to the. upper surface of the bottom -wall 14 of the mold before the polymerizable plastic composition is poured into the mold. A suitable accelerator composition for use with a benzoyl-peroxide catalysed polyester resin, is provided by a 10% solution of lauryl trimethyl ammonium chloride in a mixture of 65% water and 35% Butyl Cellosolve. The weight 4t2 is then applied to the fra-me 26 to hol-d the mold portions in the closed position. One of the hand gripping members 40, secured to spring element 38, is then gripped and said hand gripping element is pushed and pulled in a direction to cause relative reciprocating movement between mold portions 14 and 18 through lever 34 and arm 32. As the mold portion 18 reciprocates relative to the mold portion 14 secured to support lil, movement of the plastic material sandwiched therebetween is brought about oricnting the lame-llae contained therein. Since the mold portion or plate 18 is in contact with the sticky plastic material 20 and adheres thereto, the reciprocation of plate 18 will drag the upper surface of the material 20 back and forth and thereby subject the soft plastic mass 2t) 'to an oscilla'tory motion in planes substantially parallel to plate 18 so that the lamellae 22 are thereby oriented with their surfaces substantially parallel to plate 18 and the upper surface of the plastic mass 20. As the plastic material polymerizes, the increased viscosity thereof causes greater resistance to the relative movement between the moid portions which are in adhesive contact with the plastic. When the material reaches a gel stage and substantially al1 of the crystals therein have become oriented, the v resistance to relative movement of the mold portion-s' will be greater than the tension in spring element 3-8 whereby, if the operator continues to push and pull on one of the handles 40', the spring 38 will bend without imparting relative movement to the mold portions. By providing the plurality of hand gripping members 40, the operator can predetermine at what stage in the polymerization of the plastic material relative movement of the mold portions will be discontinued. For example, if the relative movement between the mold portions is desired to be carried further into the period of gelation, then the lower hand grip 40 would be engaged in operating the device. After the internalV frictional resistance of the plastic material has overcome the spring tension member 38, the plastic material may be left in the mold cavity until complete polymerization has occurred or it may be removed therefrom and subjected to further indurating conditions, either before or after other mechanical or chemical treatment of the plastic material is brought about.` For example, if the plastic material is to be used in the manufacture of buttons, the partially polymerized sheet material Within the mold may be cut into a plurality of button blanks, which blanks may then be turned and drilled prior to final hardening. Other forms of apparatus such as those illustrated and described in the aforementioned application Serial No. 549,948 may also be used. The provision of a resilient member 38 as in the apparatus of FIG. l or other torque responsive device is not essential in practicing the method of the invention as with a little experience the operator of the apparatus soon becomes highly adept at sensing the proper point for discontinuing motion of the mold as the torque applied to the handle increases. With either manually or motor driven apparatus, the proper point for discontinuing motion can also be accurately determined by the operator after a little experience by inspecting the surface of the hardening mass through a transparent top plate, for example, a glass plate. FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are illustrative of various patterns of application of accelerating agent which may be used. A wide range of variegated sheen elects may be obtained by the use of relatively simple patterns in combination with different amplitudes and forms of oscillatory motion of the plastic body contacting solid surface, for example, using reciprocating, circular or elliptical oscillating, or other forms of motion. Further variations may be introduced by using the different patterns of localized acceleration on the top and bottom surfaces of a plastic mass, for example, the pattern of FIG. on one surface and the pattern of FIG. 6 on the other surface. It will be seen that a Wide variety of procedures can be used to obtain a Wide range of variegated integral sheen effects within the scope of the invention as herein described. I claim: 1.
