Orientation birefringence and its wavelength dispersion are studied for hot-drawn films of cellulose esters such as cellulose triacetate (CTA), cellulose diacetate (CDA), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) exposed to three different humidities of environments. Hot-drawn CTA films show negative birefringence that decreases with increasing wavelength. On the other hand, CDA and CAP films show positive birefringence that increases with increasing wavelength,
The growing awareness of the importance of sustainable development has prompted studies on biomass-based materials in various fields. In optical devices application, biomass-derived cellulose esters are being studied actively as a potential material for optical films. Besides being derived from abundantly available biomass resources, they also possess characteristics suitable as optical films such as high transparency and excellent heat resistance [
In liquid crystal display (LCD) application, polymeric films have been utilized as optical films such as polarizer protective film and retardation film. A retardation film is used for the purpose of improving contrast ratio and widening a view angle while a polarizer protective film is used to protect the polarizer from scratch and moisture [
Using the model as proposed by Kuhn and Grun [

As a cellulose ester is a derivative of cellulose in which hydroxyl groups attached to the cellulose chains have been replaced wholly or in part by ester groups, various properties are dependent on the amount of hydroxyl groups [
Moreover, in regards to moisture resistance property, a propionyl group is superior to the acetyl one when fully esterified [

A study on the structure of water in cellulose ester membranes by using attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spectroscopy has been performed by Dias
In actual applications, high resistance towards dimensional change upon changing temperature and relative humidity is essential to optical films. In this study, films of three types of cellulose ester, namely CTA, CDA and CAP, are prepared using a solution casting method and then subjected to hot-drawing process. The hot-drawn samples are exposed to three different conditions: low, medium and high humidity and subsequently measured for their orientation birefringence. The purpose is to study the impact of moisture content on orientation birefringence of cellulose esters and understanding the mechanism behind it.
The polymeric materials employed in this study were commercially available cellulose esters such as cellulose triacetate (CTA), cellulose diacetate (CDA) and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP). CTA was produced by Acros Organics, while both CDA and CAP were produced by Eastman Chemical. The molecular characteristics are summarized in
The polymeric films used in this study were prepared using a solution casting method since melt processing is not applicable for CTA due to the severe thermal degradation [
Subsequently, the films were hot-drawn using a uniaxial tensile machine with temperature controller (UBM, DVE-4) to prepare uniaxial oriented films. All samples were drawn at temperatures where the tensile storage modulus
The temperature dependence of oscillatory tensile moduli in the solid state was measured from −50 °C to 200 °C by a dynamic mechanical analyzer (UBM, E-4000) using rectangular specimens of 5 mm in width and 20 mm in length. The frequency and heating rate used were 10 Hz and 2 °C/min, respectively.
Moisture content was measured using a moisturemeter (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, CA-200) using the Karl Fischer method in which the Karl Fischer reagent, which consists of iodine, sulfur dioxide, a base and a solvent, reacts quantitatively and selectively with water [
The birefringence of the drawn films was measured at room temperature by an optical birefringence analyzer (Oji Scientific Instruments Inc., KOBRA-WPR) as a function of wavelength by changing color filters.
Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) measurements using an infrared absorption spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, Spectrum 100) were performed to estimate the interaction of cellulose esters with water molecules upon exposure to three ambiences with different humidities.

On the other hand, CDA produces positive orientation birefringence that increases with increasing wavelength, as shown in
The orientation birefringence of CAP is shown in
The moisture contents for CTA, CDA and CAP after exposure to three different levels of humidity,
As demonstrated in
Upon drying in the vacuum oven (0% humidity) for 24 hours, the orientation birefringence of CDA and CAP increases. Meanwhile, under the same condition, the negative birefringence of CTA decreases in magnitude. However, it should be noted that, in terms of the direction of polarizability anisotropy, the change observed in CTA corresponds to what is observed in the CDA and CAP. In other words, the orientation birefringence increases to the positive direction. Using the relation given in Equation (2), it can be concluded that exposure to low humidity ambience increases the polarizability anisotropy parallel to the stretching direction in cellulose esters.
After 24 hours of immersion in water, the orientation birefringence of CDA and CAP decreases while that of CTA increases in magnitude. The results show that the negativity of the birefringence, which is associated to the polarizability anisotropy perpendicular to the stretching direction, increases with increasing water content.
The relation between orientation birefringence at 589 nm and moisture content for CTA, CDA and CAP is shown in
IR spectrum of CDA exposed to 0% humidity is exemplified in
ATR-FTIR spectra (3,000–4,000 cm−1) for CDA and CTA exposed to 0% and 100% humidity are shown in
In cellulose esters, water molecules could form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl and the carbonyl groups [
The IR spectra in the 1,600–1,900 cm−1 range for CDA and CTA exposed to 0% and 100% humidity are shown in
As evident in
Moreover, a weak absorption band appears at 1,639 and 1,637 cm−1 in CDA and CTA spectra respectively. These bands are typical of bending vibrations of OH. The band is more obvious in CDA than in CTA, which corresponds to the higher moisture regain of CDA.
The orientation birefringence of hot-drawn CTA, CDA and CAP films exposed to three different levels of humidity was evaluated. A decrease in moisture content resulted in the increase of the magnitude of positive orientation birefringence in CAP and CDA, while CTA showed a decrease in the magnitude of its negative orientation birefringence. The result shows that the negativity of orientation birefringence increases with increasing moisture content and, correspondingly, decreases with decreasing moisture content. It suggests that the polarizability anisotropy perpendicular to the stretching direction increases with increasing the water content. ATR-FTIR spectra of the cellulose esters are also studied to evaluate the change of the intermolecular interactions upon hydration. An increase in width and intensity of the peak associated to the stretching vibrations of OH is observed in the hydrated cellulose esters, with an intense fashion in CDA. This is explained by availability of more hydrophilic hydroxyl groups in CDA which corresponds to its relatively high moisture regain. Hydrogen bonding in the hydrated cellulose esters is confirmed by the shift of the band associated to the carbonyl group towards lower frequencies. The hydrogen bonds in the hydrated cellulose esters is considered to contribute to polarizability anisotropy perpendicular to the stretching direction, as demonstrated by the decrease of the orientation birefringence in CAP and CDA.

A HIT-and-run driver who left a cyclist unconscious on the road is being urged to give himself up.
The incident occurred at around 6.10am last Thursday on the A352 near the Stokeford Inn in East Stoke.
The cyclist, a local man in his 30s, was left unconscious on the road.
The driver then left the scene without stopping, leaving the cyclist unconscious in the road. The victim sustained concussion and was taken to Poole Hospital.
A police spokesman said: "The road, which runs between Wool and Wareham, was surprisingly busy for this time of morning and I believe that other motorists would have seen the cyclist and possibly witnessed the collision.
"I am appealing for anyone who witnessed this, has information or saw the cyclist prior to it to call police.
"I would encourage anyone with the slightest information, which may identify the driver or the vehicle, to contact Dorset Police on 101.
"I also urge the driver in question to do the right thing and speak with the police."

CONSUMER ADVISORY As it happens, these two are products of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, an Ohio company with annual sales of more than $100 million, as well as over 3,000 complaints to the BBB and the Attorney General's Office in its home state alone. Here's why. The radio ads say you can get a thirty-day free trial of Enzyte by calling a certain toll-free number. If you call, it turns out there's a $4.90 S&H charge for the free month's supply, which the lady on the phone wants you to put on your credit card. If you acquiesce, the company then starts shipping you more Enzyte every month and auto-billing your card for at least $35 each time, because it turns out that by taking the thirty-day trial you've somehow signed up for Berkeley's automatic-purchase program—which the operator neglected to mention. And calling Berkeley Nutraceuticals to get the automatic shipments and billings stopped doesn't much help; often they'll stop only if some kind of consumer agency sends a letter. It's the same with Altovis and its own "free trial." In short, the whole thing is one of those irksome, hassle-laden marketing schemes, and KFI runs dozens of spots per day for Berkeley products. The degree to which the station is legally responsible for an advertiser's business practices is, by FTC and FCC rules, nil. But it's hard not to see KFI's relationship with Berkeley as another indication of the station's true regard for its listeners.

A Political Solution for the Euro?
Germany is right to demand that the worst-run nations submit to fiscal discipline in exchange for financial aid.
Markets rebounded Monday on reports that the 17 euro-zone nations are negotiating a plan to impose greater fiscal discipline on deeply indebted states. The partial recovery from last week's market swoon was a recognition that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is right to define Europe's crisis of confidence as primarily a political malaise. Nothing will come right until Europe's southern tier politicians curb their excessive borrowing.
The possible direction of the negotiations was tipped by a leaked German memo proposing a...

Local swimmers compete for state bragging rights
By Christian Davis
Posted December 4, 2013
The girls swimming and diving season came to a close in Division 2 and Division 3 Nov. 22-23 with local swimmers finding themselves on the podium.
Here's a look at how the divisions played out and which local athletes earned All-State honors with top-eight finishes.
Division 2 at Eastern Michigan University
Holland High kept its roll going in the division, winning its third straight state title. The Dutch finished with 287 points.
Portage Central was second with 235, followed by Bloomfield Hills Marian (190), Birmingham Groves (176) and Rochester Adams (143).
Other local squads competing were Grosse Pointe South, which finished with 135 points and in sixth place, Birmingham Seaholm (120, eighth) North Farmington (46, 17th), Fraser High (23, 20th), Madison Heights Lamphere (20, 22nd) and Grosse Pointe North (two, 33rd).
Highlights from 200-yard medley relay include Grosse Pointe South's second-place finish in 1 minute, 47.28 seconds; Marian (1:47.44) was third; Groves (1:47.88) came in fourth; Rochester Adams (1:48.1) finished sixth; and Seaholm's (1:49.28) squad was seventh.

It's less than a week from the unveiling of the 2010 MV Agusta F4, and already we've been teased with a photo of the front of the motorcycle, and a render of its rear. Helping to fan the fire to the ungoing hype that's surrounded the new F4, MV Agusta has released a teaser video that shows the bike off even more. Video after the jump.
In exactly one week's time, A&R will be toughing it out in the harsh Milanese winter, sipping our cappucino, while MV Agusta shows us the latest iteration of their F4 Superbike. After releasing photos of the new 2010 MV Agusta Brutale, and teasing us with the front-view of the F4, we were a little worried the design of the new MV flagship (rendered above) was going to be a little stale. Will the new MV live up to the hyperbole? Only time will tell. Rumored bike details after the jump.
Most of the internet is still abuzz over the news of Buell's demise (don't worry, your friends who read print magazines will hear the news in a month or two), but for the people at MV Agusta, right now is perhaps even more precarious because their future is uncertain. Harley-Davidson's decision to circle the wagons around the HD brand, meant for MV that they would once again be up for auction to the highest bidder. This timing perhaps comes at the absolute worst moment, as the Italian brand was finally having to come to terms with how it would move forward as a company without Massimo Tamburini inking the designs.
MV Agusta is set to debut its latest revision of the F4 tomorrow, and have teased us with a glimpse of the bike's front section. Like the 2010 MV Agusta Brutale, the overall design seems to be in-line with the F4's of yore, which is underwhelming to say the least. Yes, the F4 is one of the most iconic modern sportbikes, and the standard by which all motorcycle designs are measured, but we are disappointed that MV is once again running back to the well for its product inspirations.
Visordown is reporting that MV officials have quietly confirmed a new MV Agusta Superbike is set to launch in the next few weeks. Expected to not carry the F4 name, the new model would be one of the first truly new MV's in the last 10 years, and is expected to signal the return of MV to premiere racing. More after the jump.
NEW: 2009 MV Augusta F4 RR 312
What do you get when you cross and MV Augusta F4 CC (the 1078cc MV F4 variant) with an MV Augusta F4 R 312 (the MV F4 312kph capable variant)? Well, and MV Augusta F4 with 1078cc's capable of doing over 312kph. Rated at 190hp, the 1078 is the "racing rules" be damned street bike with Italian flare. The F4 1000 (the current F4 R 312) will function as MV's race homologated Superbike, meeting all the requirements and specification set down for WSBK competition. Details on the changes, and more pictures after the jump.

Last night on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra Parks questioned her husband Apollo about the text messages—and possible indiscretion—between he and RHOA castmate Kenya Moore.
Apollo insisted that it was Kenya who pursued him both over the phone and while in Los Angeles. Phaedra kept it together during their discussion at the restaurant, but we got to hear a bit of what Apollo had coming to him off-camera once they got in the car via their microphones.
RELATED: What Is the Most Innovative Music Video of All Time?
While the verdict of "textgate," as the women have cleverly titled the matter, seems to be far from reached, many tweeters seemed pleased that the heat is no longer entirely on Kenya. The other women have been questioning her all season, but now Apollo's time has come. All of this has us thinking about an age-old question: When there's an indiscretion between your husband and another woman, who do you blame more? Your husband because he's the one who vowed to keep your marriage sacred, or the other woman because we as women should know better?

IT IS a slice of Victoria's often overlooked marine environment, and it has taken the world by storm.
Marine scientist and amateur photographer Richard Wylie has won a National Geographic world ocean photography competition for this photograph of a weedy seadragon in the waters off the Mornington Peninsula.
The shot, taken in November last year, shows a male seadragon carrying eggs underneath its tail. He beat thousands of competitors, many of whom were professional photographers.
Mr Wylie, who is a tropical marine scientist, said he was a ''massive convert'' to the ocean life in southern Australia's cooler waters. He said most Victorians were largely unaware of the rich variety of species living in their waters.
''I think most people look at the beaches and stop at the water and don't think about what's underneath,'' he said, then adding, ''but to be fair it is really cold six months of the year.''
''Everyone thinks of the Great Barrier Reef as the pinnacle of marine environment, but in reality Victoria and the southern coastline of Australia are just absolutely fantastic.''
Mr Wylie said he took the shot about 30 metres off the Flinders Pier after waiting in the water until the seadragons grew comfortable with his presence and he could capture one in the right light.
Seadragon expert from the University of Tasmania, Dr Keith Martin-Smith, said there were strong populations of the species in Victoria, but they were often hard to see due to heavy camouflage.
Dr Martin-Smith said females transferred eggs to males during breeding season, which weedy seadragons hold in a spongy area under their tail before the eggs hatch after about two months.

Local news outlets in Southern California are reporting that two victims have been shot in a school shooting at Taft Union High School. Bakersfield Now reports that the incident took place on the second floor of the school's science building. No fatalities are reported. One shooting victim is in critical condition at a local hospital; the other "refused medical treatment." The injured victim and the shooter, according to early reports, are both students.
Taft HS teacher engaged suspect in conversation, campus supervisor also showed up. Both talked to suspect, who put shotgun down— ABC7 Eyewitness News (@ABC7) January 10, 2013
Taft is a small town (about 9,000 residents) in largely agricultural and oil-producing Kern County, CA.
KABC-TV reports at least two victims shot; shooter in police custody; students are being evacuated.
23ABC news received phone calls from people inside the school who were hiding in closets.The incident is said to have occurred around 9am, with multiple ambulances and emergency medical crews dispatched.
Kern County Sheriff's Department officials are going room-by-room to secure the school.
Reports indicate that the first person shot was airlifted to an area hospital and the second person denied medical treatment.
Parents need to pickup their students at the football field.
A spokesman for the sheriff's department says it is believed a shotgun was used in the attack.
Confirmed. Taft High School does have a uniform deputy sheriff monitoring campus "before, during and after school"— Sam Stein (@samsteinhp) January 10, 2013
There usually is Taft police officer at school every day, but today, he was snowed in, could not make it #LIVE bit.ly/U8u5ds— ABC7 Eyewitness News (@ABC7) January 10, 2013
An internal document on the high school's website states:
Taft Union High School is a safe and secure campus. The open-campus is surrounded by an exterior fence, which is locked at all times except during lunch when students are allowed to leave campus for lunch break. In addition, a digital IP video surveillance system consisting of 43 security cameras have been installed in common areas, such as the cafeteria, hallways, and at entryways to several structures on the grounds in an effort to monitor campus activity. An alarm system is activated in the evenings each day and on weekends. In addition, a campus security guard monitors the school grounds. TUHS employs two full-time campus supervisors who work in conjunction with our school administrators to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Furthermore, TUHS contracts with the Kern County Sheriff's Department to employ a full-time school resource officer to deal with truancies and disciplinary issues that are beyond the scope of our administration.And in a related internal document:
Two campus supervisors and a Kern County Sheriff monitor the campus before, during, and after school. All visitors must register in the principal's office. In 2007, TUHS installed a Digital IP Video Surveillance System consisting of 43 video surveillance cameras...
The California Department of Education website shows the public school serves students in grades 9 through 12, and currently has 935 students and 64 faculty members.
As news of the shooting first spread, Vice President Joe Biden was delivering a press conference on gun control and gun violence in America. Biden announced that he plans to send recommendations on gun control to President Obama by Tuesday, reports AP.

Search the Collection
To search the collection fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names, or variations of their name, throughout their life.
- If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line video at FamilySearch Search Tips.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Download a copy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors.
Remember that these indexes may contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.

Any other suggestions for dual or quad cards that are *known* to work well?

I don't see any way that a client could "auto detect" without introducing
a substantial delay. I'd avoid such a feature and just select the desired
mode. Note that passive mode isn't a complete cure-all, since it's the
worse case when the *server* is behind NAT.

The Family-Friendly Cheakamus Splash rafting trip is a half-day fun float trip that features small splashy rapids, outstanding scenery and lots of laughs. It's an ideal outdoor activity for families, children, seniors, and anyone looking for a gentle and fun scenic rafting adventure.
As you raft down the glacier-fed Cheakamus River between old growth forests, you'll experience the excitement of gentle rapids and see a variety of birds, wildlife, waterfalls, and the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia. At the same time you'll learn about the intriguing Squamish First Nations history, a key part of the history of the area.
Of course anytime kids get around water, you know there will be a water fight! Perfect the art of splashing others (you never know when the Splash Monster will rise out of the river!), and get a chance to cool off with a quick dip in the pure, glacier-fed, jade-tinted water.
Be sure to ask us about picking up a souvenir photo USB of you enjoying your adventure to remember the day. And don't worry about going hungry. We will re-energize you with a light snack midway through your journey. Following your adventure we'll take you back to our rafting base with an on-site restaurant.

The Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security (HGI) at Ruhr-University Bochum is one of Europe's leading research centers in IT security. The DFG, or German Research Foundation, awarded more than €4 million to the HGI for the establishment of the interdisciplinary research training group "New Challenges for Cryptography in Ubiquitous Computing". We are looking for candidates with outstanding Master/Diplom in the fields of computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics or related areas.
The research training group will study problems which are fundamental for securing the Internet of Things. The research is structured in three levels: cryptographic primitives, device and system level. The research topics range from cryptographic foundations such as fully homomorphic encryption for privacy in cloud computing, over security for medical implants to internet security solutions involving new national ID cards. A central goal of the doctoral training is an interdisciplinary and structured education at the highest scientific level. Establishing networks to top internationally research groups is part of the training.
A group of internationally renowned researchers together with excellent funding provides an extremely interesting scientific environment. The HGI is known for its good working atmosphere.
The Ruhr-University Bochum supports women's career development. Applications from women are thus explicitly welcome. In those areas in which women are underrepresented they will be considered preferentially according to the regulations of the "Landesgleichstellungsgesetz" if their abilities, aptitude and professional performance are equal with those of the fellow applicants unless reasons concerning the person of a fellow applicant are predominant.

I'm an African-American , Filipina n part Chinese sweetie, that's real busy! O.O! I rhymed lol I'm quite the loner and work a lot. I don't like people who I feel are negative. I have a lot of pet peeves. I am the type of person that will turn something negative into a positive. I have more fun with people who understand the value of life. I prefer to hang out with people who blaze, if you don't... well I'm not a big drinker so I guess Ill settle for a drink n stimulating conversation. If I like you, Ill make time for you. *Please Don't flake*
People describe me as:
Good judge of Character
Good Memory
Easily offended
Mean but funny
Empathetic (this dont mean I like pitty parties)
Bad (good n bad)
Great company
And weird (I embrace my oddness, either you like it or you don't)
Too honest :/ (don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to)
Dont be shy, message me with questions or just to say "Heller Raylen you good?" lol
*Persistent people get a better chance of being able to see me in person.*
I'm not fond of texting. Please have the intention to call me at some point between texting. I will not hang out with anyone without a proper phone conversation or follow-up.
I feel that if I can't successfully make-out with someone, there won't be any intimacy and it will be awkward ... o.O
MUSTACHES FREAK ME OUT! Everything else is fine unless you look like you came from Narnia.... uh un... yeah Mustaches are just.... no. Smh
If you don't feel we are compatible, politely just say you must go, don't say the reason, just let me know and we'll leave on good terms.
To rude people:
*I get a lot of messages and when I don't answer on I guess "your time". Deliberately cussing me out or being rude just to get my attention/response...
Pardon me...? F-YOUR INSECURITY AND YOUR COUCH! Then wonder why I start not liking penis for a week and gravitate towards vagina.
Just because I don't respond on "your time", or don't like what I post or feel the need to call me out my name... Don't, I repeat DON'T message me. Blocking, is a couple «clicks» away

VAN NUYS - Police on Tuesday identified a gang member suspected of shooting and killing a 4-month-old baby last month, and asked for the public's help in tracking down a man they described as armed and dangerous.
Police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Ricardo Hernandez, who goes by the street name "Playto."
"We have who we believe is the shooter," Deputy Chief Michel Moore, the Valley's commanding officer, said during a news conference at the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys station.
"It is our hope this individual will surrender. His surrender will stop further violence. Know this: He will be in custody."
Moore said area detectives were able to link Hernandez to the crime through physical evidence and eyewitness accounts. He was also linked to a carjacking in the area soon after the Sept. 27 shotgun shooting of 4-month-old Andrew Garcia.
Last week, 17-year-old Alfonzo Landa, also a reputed gang member, was charged with suspicion of murder and other counts stemming from the shooting in Van Nuys that led to the baby's death.
Police say Landa took part in the 1 a.m. shooting in the 14300 block of Kittridge Street that killed the infant while he was being fed by his babysitter, 28-year-old Anna Contreras, inside a car. She was part of a big family gathering for Andrew's baptism at the Bernardi Multipurpose Senior Center hours before.
Andrew's father got out of the car to chat with Eric Ramirez, 18, who police said is a gang member. Two men, believed to be Hernandez and Landa, approached the group of four men and two women and asked: "Where you from?" a question meant to ask about gang affiliation.
Hernandez allegedly fired at the group six times immediately after one of the intended victims answered, police said.
The shotgun blast fatally wounded the boy and wounded Contreras.
The gang-related shooting capped a weeklong spike in violence, with city officials announcing a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the boy's killers.
City Councilman Tony Cardenas again implored the public to call police with any information about Hernandez's whereabouts. Cardenas also promised that anyone who had information that could lead to his arrest would receive a reward.
"It's important for the community to mourn the death of this child, but also to do something about it," Cardenas said at the news conference. "Please, if you have any information that leads to this suspect who killed this little boy, please, please help."
Anyone with information can call Van Nuys Homicide Detectives at 818-374-1921 or after hours at 818-374-1963.

The Butcher, the Baker, and Tim the Candle Stick Maker <G>
Imagine a quivering, naked submissive moaning as you pour another splash of hot wax. Scenes like this are happening all over the country, all over the world. Sadly for wax players there are very few options for finding safe wax to play with. This leads many people to turn to store bought candles which may cause severe burns.
At BDSMwaxplay we realize that as a responsible waxplay consumer you are interested in safe alternatives to off the shelf candles. We would like to be your supplier for these candles as well as assisting you through education and creative ideas with our photos.
I started looking for BDSM waxing candles a long time ago. I could not find ones I wanted and nobody could tell me the amount of paraffin and/or soy in these candles. You MUST know the amount of paraffin and/or soy in the candles to determine the temperature and from what height to drip. Normal candles burn any where from 180-240 degrees. Paraffin and/or soy candles burn at 105-127 degrees. My candles are 100 % (plus dye) household paraffin wax and/or soy . My candles contain NO scents (only on special orders), which would ADD heat/temperature to the candles. We all know the 11 commandment, Thou shall not damage thy submissive. The darker the color will also add a small amount of heat/temperature to the candles.
Waxplay for me was a passion long before it was business, as you can tell from all the waxing images on this page and time spent on each. I used to only make them for myself and friends until I finally got smart and decided to share the finest, best, and largest selection of body waxing candles available on the market today with everyone else. We have been in business since 1999. Low melting points of 105 F to 127 F. Reasonably priced. Wholesale and retail sales available. Secure on line shopping cart.
Even if you're not looking at buying my candles please feel free to email me or send me a message via yahoo messenger Tenderdom_atl Or join my yahoo/fetlife group and read other people's comments and techniques on waxplay. If you have any questions about waxplay, submissive ( and Dominant ) safety is more important then selling candles :) Remember the only wrong question is the one not asked.

Socio-Cultural Theory, based on Vygotskian thought, is a theory about the development of human cognitive and higher mental function. The theory specially emphasizes the integration of social, cultural and biological elements in learning processes and stresses the socio-cultural circumstances' central role in human's cognitive development. Second Language Acquisition is concerned with the process of how a new language other than the native language is acquired and how much this is affected by other disciplines, among which is Socio-Cultural Theory. This theory facilitates reflection on some of the problems on second language acquisition from a new perspective. In addition, this new perspective provides some pedagogical implications for foreign language teaching. This article makes attempts to elucidate Social-Cultural Theory's constructs, its influence on second language acquisition and the pedagogical implications for foreign language teaching.

Rituximab in Cutaneous Lupus: Responsiveness Depends On Pattern of Skin Involvement
Vital1, Edward M., Dass1, Shouvik, Buch1, Maya H., Pease2, Colin T., Martin2, Michael F., Rawstron2, Andrew C., Goodfield2, Mark
University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Leeds, United Kingdom
Rituximab in SLE has been described in >200 published cases; positive responses were seen in all systems. However, cutaneous pathology in lupus is heterogeneous, including some lesions that occur in patients without autoantibodies. Responses to targeted B cell therapies therefore warrant more detailed assessment.
35 SLE patients were treated with 2 × rituximab 1000mg + methylprednisolone 100mg. Patients with skin involvement were reviewed in a combined rheumatology/dermatology clinic. B cells were monitored using highly sensitive flow cytometry.
14 patients had significant cutaneous disease. Antimalarials (5/14) or other immunosuppressants (7/14) were continued. The skin was the primary indication for treatment in 3 patients.
Non-cutaneous disease: 12 had significant (BILAG A/B) non-cutaneous disease including renal(2), cerebral(3), haematological(3) and arthritis(3). Responses were good with reduction of BILAG A/B to C/D in 11/12.
Discoid LE: 4 patients had discoid disease. None showed significant change after treatment.
Cutaneous vasculitis: 2 patients had cutaneous vasculitis with purpura; both responded completely.
Changing pattern of lupoid cutaneous disease: 1 patient with papulosquamous subacute LE responded well for 11 months then relapsed with the same rash. In 3 other patients, acute photoaggravated LE responded, but they then developed disseminated discoid LE. In these patients B cell depletion was incomplete, transient improvement occurred during depletion, and change in pattern of skin disease occurred during repopulation.
Developing non-lupoid cutaneous disease: 3 patients developed non lupoid rashes. 2 patients were treated for arthritis with initial good response. Following a second cycle of rituximab 1 developed Sweet's syndrome and 1 pemphigus erythematosus. 1 patient was treated for thrombocytopenia and cerebral vasculitis but developed psoriasis. These rashes occurred while B cell depleted. All were biopsy-proven.
Responsiveness of cutaneous lupus to rituximab is complex. Discoid lesions did not respond. Acute non-discoid LE and vasculitis in patients with active systemic disease initially improved along with other manifestations. However, some patients switched to a disseminated discoid pattern following B cell repopulation. This may be explained by expansion of a T cell population during B cell depletion that becomes activated during repopulation. Alternatively transient and incomplete B cell depletion may alter the pathological B cell repertoire. Some patients develop other cutaneous diseases, but the mechanism for this is unclear. The role of B cells may vary between different patterns of skin disease in SLE and rituximab may not be the most appropriate therapy for all patients. Careful monitoring of the skin is needed when using rituximab in SLE. These results may have implications for the design and interpretation of clinical trials of B cell therapies in SLE.
