1 J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 26, (September 1975) Differential Thermal Analysis of Chrysotile Asbestos in Pure Talc Talc Containing Other Minerals and W. LUCKEWICZ, B.S.* Presented October 14, 1974, Washington, D.C. Synopsis-Levels of 0.5 to 1.0% CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS in TALCS can be detected by DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS (DTA). The 845øC exothermic DTA peak is used for the detection of CHRYSOTILE. Both naturally occurring serpentinet and artificially added CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS can be detected in PURE TALC and in talcs containing other minerals. INTRODUCTION Cosmetic and body talc products have shown a remarkable growth in sales over the past several years. Recently, asbestos forms (nameiy, chrysotiie and tremolite) were reported to be present in cosmetic and body talc products. Asbestos fibers have also been detected and analyzed in beverages and drinking water (1). Cosmetic talc can be described as a mixture of naturally occurring minerals, where the major constituent is a magnesium silicate and some of the minor constituents are chlorite and carbonates. The performance of a cosmetic talc can be effected by the presence of minor mineral constituents in the talc. The effect can be either detrimental or beneficia]. For example, chlorite is thought to be beneficial for perfume retention. Because of the possible inhalation hazard associated with asbestos, the development of a sensitive analytical m thod for its detection in cosmetic talc was necessary. * Avon Products, Inc., Suffern, N.Y ?Serpentine is a family of asbestos consisting primarily of antigorite (nonfibrous) and chrysotile (fibrous). 431
2 43'2 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS The analysis of carbonates, chlorite, and other minerals in talcs is described by Pask and Warner (2). We also developed a differential thermal analysis (DTA) method for these minerals in 1979, (3). Analytical methods reported in the literature that are applicable to mineral characterization include: X-ray diffraction; optical and electron microscopy; atomic absorption (AA); infrared (IR) spectroscopy; DTA; and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). X-ray diffraction has been widely used for identification of minerals, but without repetitive scanning, it is not sufficiently sensitive to yield reproducible results for constituents much below the 1% level. The various optical and electron microscopic techniques are considered tedious and time consuming, but are used as confirmation techniques in combination with X-ray diffraction. The AA method is a sensitive method for detection of many elements, but the presence of sim:lar atoms in the minerals comprising the talc limits its effectiveness for determining asbestos. IR spectroscopy is widely used in mineral characterization, both qualitatively and quantitatively, because it is specific and reproducible, possessing a unique finger printing capability. DTA and TGA, due to their ability to provide information on the crystallographic changes occurring in heating, are also widely used for mineral characterization (2, 3). The DTA method for both qualitative and quantitative mineral characterization is extensively described in the literature. Although the DTA method for the detection of asbestos at the 1% level was developed by Avon Products, Inc., over 2 years ago (3), a similar method has been recently reported (4). Our method offers several advantages: it is three times faster and requires no helium atmosphere. It has been found to be specific, reproducible, and requires no involved sample preparation. Therefore, it can be readily used for quality control purposes. EXPERIMENTAL The mineral composition of a large number of cosmetic grade talcs from the United States and other countries was determined by X-ray diffraction (5). Samples of the major talc constituents were obtained and were also malyzed by X-ray diffraction. The minerals sometimes found in cosmetic talcs are given in Table I (5). One or more of these minerals may be totally absent in cosmetic talcs. The dupont 900 DTA equipped with the 1200øC high temperature cell was used for the analysis of chrysotile asbestos in talcs. Chrysotile asbestos from Seitz at 1.0 and 3.0% level was used in the talc blends. The samples (38 to 40 mg) were heated in platinum cups at 30øC/rain in a static air atmosphere using A12Oas a reference material. The temperature scale T was set at 0.8 MV/in., and the sensitivity of the DTA instru-

Upon heating the samples at 30øC/min to 4.0 mvt (457øC), the recorder pen was shifted to -5 in. using the T-scale zero shift. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS The success or failure, with regard to determining low levels of chrysotile asbestos by DTA in complex talc products and talc itself, depends on obtaining the proper conditions, such as heating rate, atmosphere, particle and sample size, and particularly a good base line at maximum sensitivity. In addition to these conditions, the magnitudes and positions of the dothermit and exothermie DTA peaks of other minerals present in talc could have an effect on the final success of the detection of chrysotile. The magnitudes and positions of the DTA peaks of various minerals sometimes found in talcs, are shown in Figs. 1 and 9, and are listed in Table II. DTA data of some of the above minerals in talc are also presented in Pask and Warner (9,). As can be seen from the ehrysotile thermogram, Fig. 1 (A), the large endothermit peak due to dehydroxylation 673øC and the large exothermie peak due to dehydroxylation and crystallization at 845øC, make this mineral readily detectable in talc at low levels. The thermogram of chlorite is shown in Fig. i (B). The large decarboxy]ation, dehydroxylation, and crystallization DTA peaks of carbonates and ehlorite, if these minerals are present in quantities above 10 to 15%, interfere with the detection of low levels of chrysotile. In most cases, however, the mineral contaminants are found to be well below this figure. The thermogram of talc is shown in Fig. 9, (B). The small tremolite dehydroxylation peak at 1075øC shown in Fig. 9, (A) makes its detection difficult at these levels. The DTA thermogram of a talc product containing 3.0% kaolin, a trace of ohiorite, and 8.0% calcium carbonate is shown in Fig. 3 (A). The endotherms at 530 ø, 600 ø, 790 ø, and 970 ø are due to kaolsn, ohiorite, calcium carbonate, and tale, respectively. This same talc product but with the addition of 1.0% chrysotile asbestos, is shown in Fig. 3 (B). The appearance of a small endotherm at 660øC and a medium exotherm at S45øC, clearly show the presence of chrysotile asbes-

Another tale product containing approximately 5.0% ehlorite was analyzed and revealed no ehrysotile asbestos. Upon addition of 1.0% ehrysotile asbestos, the exothermie peak at 845øC was dearly visible. Tale containing 10 to 15% tremolite as determined by X-ray diffraction is shown in Fig. 4 (A).

7 ANALYSIS OF CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS 437 for tremolite will not appear; this was determined in previous DTA runs on the same talc, though this particular thermogram does not show it. The same talc containing 1.0 and 3.0% added chrysotile asbestos is shown in Fig. 4 (B) and (C). The difference between i and 3 per cent chrysotile asbestos in talc is clearly distinguishable. A thermogram of naturally occurring serpentine in talc is shown in Fig. 5 (A), subsequently found by TEM to be antigorite. CONCLUSION From the preceding analysis, it is evident that 0.5 to 1.0% serpentine asbestos in talcs can be easily detected. Serpentine at low levels can also be detected in talcs in the presence of other minerals such as chlorite and carbonates. If an asbestos level of 1% in cosmetic talcs should be the limit, this technique can be used as a screening method. In fact, we are presently employing this technique as a screening method and have already checked approximately 9,00 samples. Of these 200 samples, none were found to contain chrysotile asbestos at the detectable level. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to thank Mr. C. G. Christie, Mr. R. A. Arzapola, and Mr. T. P.

What could be better on a warm Southern California day than making out in the hot tub and a steamy outdoor fuck? Well, that's what Gamon and Tory from Cocky Boys do. They start out rubbing each other through tight shorts, and then Tory decides that he can't wait to get a taste of Gamon's hard cock. Tory bends over to lick and suck that pulsing rod, and then Gamon turns him around, bends him over and rims Tory till both the guys are so horny! And then Gamon slides his rigid tool deep into Tory's tight ass and takes him for a joy ride, fucking with long strokes. Gamon just keeps slamming Tory's hole till neither one can hold back and both guys shoot their thick, creamy loads!

Flea explains in an open letter that he was told to fake his performance since 'the NFL does not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound.'
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea has reacted to accusations that he wasn't really playing his bass during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 2. On Tuesday, the musician wrote an open letter, in which he admitted to faking his performance when his band took the stage to sing "Give It Away" with halftime headliner Bruno Mars.
Flea revealed that he mimed playing his instrument because he was told to do so. "When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our song 'Give It Away' at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums and guitar would be pre-recorded," he explained.
"I understand the NFL's stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the T.V. viewers. There was not any room for argument on this, the NFL does not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound, period," he added.
He later said that the "Red Hot Chili Peppers stance on any sort of miming has been that we will absolutely not do it," but continued that "we eventually decided, it was a surreal-like, once in a life time crazy thing to do and we would just have fun and do it."
During the Super Bowl, Flea appeared onstage shirtless while bringing his bass. Eagle-eyed spectators then spotted that his instrument wasn't even connected to his amp. "That guitar is plugged into NOTHING," Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid voiced his suspicion on Twitter.

Comprising five states, variously described as chiefdoms and kingdoms, the Mwiska (a.k.a. Muisca) likely numbered between half a million to one million people at the time of Spanish conquest. The two largest of the Mwiska states, Zipa and Zaque, were at conflict with one another when the Spanish came on the scene, with the former being more successful than the latter. Spanish conquest was fairly quick, however, and no rebellion took place after 1541 and the language went extinct in the 18th century.
Initial government is Despotism.

Candida is the kind autograph for a amount of microorganism yeasts. The maximum customary multiplicity is Candida albicansability. It lives in the minute viscus and the secretion membranes, where on earth it commonly doesn't inception any conflict because it is unbroken in bank check by the "friendly bacteria" thatability unfilmed there, too. But if the harmonize is upset, Candida can expand and inception to result in problems, together with infectionsability on the fingernailsability and toenails.
While staple infectionsability are established sufficient - something like 7 proportionality of adults see from them, on the whole in the toenails as anti to the fingernailsability - the foremost make happen is not Fungus but kingdom fungi from the variety Genus Trichophyton. Those fungi are trusty for the great bulk of pin infectionsability. Still, Candida is sometimes to damn. Some the specific cause, if a plant assail the nails, it is legendary as onychomycosis
Studies concert thatability men are double as plausible to see from fastener infectionsability than women are, and thatability the probability increases near age. Also, those next to compromisedability condition systems (as next to HIV) are specially capable to it.Post ads:

In the most customary gracious of staple infection, distal subungual onychomycosisability (DSC), the plant life enters concerning the tip of the nail and the toe (or finger, but once in a blue moon) and causes the fastener serving dish to removed from the wrapping underneath it. The unguis as well turns white, green, or ashen.
There is generally no affliction at first, but the horny structure is ugly, and folks distress from onychomycosisability are repeatedly chagrined to let others see it and may turn your back on common situationsability wherever it would be apparent. Because of that, spell the infectivity may not be uncomfortable or medically dangerous, treating it is more than simply a nonfunctional thought. Psychologically, no one wishes to have thing deathlike and displeasing connected to their bodies.
As the plant progresses, the pin becomes glutinous and tall and separates far from the toe. Also, dead, dry matter collects between the pin and the pin bed. Sometimes it becomes painful, although often, if the horny structure is fat enough, the strain is least or departed raw.Post ads:

The most successful treatmentsability for unguis infections, whether candida-inducedability or otherwise, are deep-seated general agent medicationsability. Somewhat little influential are local treatmentsability (ointments or creams thatability go straight on the smitten country), although recovered ones are state built-up.
There are folk remedies, too, thatability a number of relatives undertake by while others jeer. Tea woody plant oil is a better-known fungicidal that, once practical locally to the nail itself, is across the world trenchant. (It's one of the few "home remedies" thatability medical subject can stern up.) Grapefruit kernel selection is as well used, but its powerfulness has not been unchangeable. Likewise, applyingability acetum to the cuticle, a few drops a day for individual weeks, may be informative in some patients.
In general, the habitation remedies get the rough and ready notion right: Pay attending to your nails! It is so much easier to disqualify the circumstances than to nourishment it. Keep hold of your feet cleansed and dry, don't deterioration binding or moist socks or shoes, and preserve your nails cut and unspotted.

Roger, the owner, was very nice and helpful throughout the process. We came out for a long holiday weekend and were please with the unit. It was clean and comfortable. Some pictures may seem a bit misleading as they appear to have a rooftop lanai but it's really a ground floor with a small courtyard and glass roof dining area. Overall, we enjoyed it and would stay there again. Out of 8 trips to London, this was definitely the best. Unseasonably warm and sunny are not usually terms used for London but that coupled with nice neighbors and convenience to the tube, pubs, coffee shops, Hyde Park made the trip great. Even walked to Westminster and a terrific Clapton concert at Royal Albert Hall. Thanks Roger for the use of your flat, we'll reach out next time we are London bound.
We had a great time staying in this flat. The basement entrance seems odd at first, but then you enter the flat and find that it has an incredible amount of natural light for a garden unit. I would highly recommend staying here!
The flat was very clean and even decorated with fresh flowers. The location was conveniently located close to nice restaurants and tube stations.
This apartment is in a very nice area, most convenient to the museums. A tube stop is a block away and there are many eateries close by. The provided cell phone for our use was an incredibly useful perk since our phones didn't have service while we were traveling. The apartment is bright and well laid out and in a nice building on a beautiful street. The only negatives are that the building elevator is tiny and doesn't provide a smooth ride, and the entry hallway to access the apartment smells very damp.
If your stay in London will not include many museums visits, you may prefer to stay closer in to the center of town.
Roger was nice to work with and I would stay here again.
We spent 4 nights here with our 2 granddaughters and it was absolutely perfect. The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable everything was exactly as had been presented. When we arrived there was even a bowl of fresh fruit waiting for us.
Our correspondence beforehand with Roger was always answered promptly, even when I had silly questions to ask. Sadly we didn't get to meet Roger as he was out of town but he forwarded us explicit instructions for our arrival and information about the area. Thanks Roger!
I read in a previous review about moisture in the apartment. This is absolutely untrue. We were there during a very rainy period and there was not such thing.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.
We all thoroughly enjoyed and stay here.
We were only in London for a short visit, but this flat was in the perfect location. It was easy for us to see and do as much as we could in a short period of time. We felt safe and easily made our way around the neighborhood. Tube stations, restaurants, grocery stores, museums and the park are all very close. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. It was very clean and the bed linens and towels were great. It was a perfectly equipped flat. The flat is a basement unit (which we knew) so you do have a little street noise in the master bedroom and upper apartment movement that you can hear. The wood floors are beautiful, but they do tend to creak. The hallway and front door to the unit could use a little TLC, but once you open the door you are in a bright and welcoming space. The photos give an accurate look at the unit. We enjoyed our stay!

Tara Brach, Ph. D., (b May 17, 1953) is a psychologist and internationally renowned expert on Buddhist meditation. She is also the founder and senior teacher of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, a spiritual community that teaches and practices Vipassana meditation. She has worked with Jack Kornfield and other prominent Vipassana Meditation experts.[1] Dr. Brach also teaches Buddhist meditation at many centers in the United States and Canada including Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, CA and the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts. A clinical psychologist, she has taught extensively on the application of Buddhist teachings to emotional healing.[2] In 2003, Dr. Brach authored the seminal work, Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha,which encapsulated Dr. Brach's application of Buddhist teachings such as mindfulness to the psychological process of accepting and healing trauma.[3] Dr. Brach is a peace activist, and an engaged Buddhist. As such, she co-founded the Washington DC Buddhist Peace Fellowship.
Educational and Professional Background
Tara Brach received a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. She wrote a dissertation analyzing how individuals with eating disorders can utilize meditation as a healing technique.
Tara Brach spent ten years living in an ashram -a yogic spiritual community- where she practiced and taught kundalini yoga and concentrative (breath and mantra) meditations. After being introduced to Buddhist meditation, she attended a number of silent vipassana retreats led by Joseph Goldstein and other senior teachers. She went on to participate in a five year Buddhist teacher training program under the guidance of Jack Kornfield at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Subsequently, she received training in Dzogchen from Tsoknyi Rinpoche and has incorporated elements of Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism into her daily practice and teaching.[4]
Tara Brach has written numerous articles, and recorded numerous talks about the practical application of Buddhist meditation practices that are available through the Insight Meditation Community of Washington (IMCW), the Dharma Seed Tape Library and Sounds True.[5] True Refuge, by Dr. Brach, will be available in 2011.
Tara Brach presently resides in Virginia with her husband, Jonathan Foust, who is also a noted yoga and meditation teacher.

Sitter in Holiday
Hello! My name is Danielle and I am a Nineteen year old student currently working on my AA at St. Petersburg College. My courses are all online leaving me a completely open schedule. I absolutely adore children and have my whole life. I volunteer at the local elementary and middle school, tutor A.V.I.D students and teach Sunday Catechism School during the school term. I greatly value the power of education and a strong support group in a child's life - from the very beginning. I have endless babysitting experience, ranging from newborn to 13 years old and also nannied a set of toddlers for 9-10 hours a day, a few days a week, the last two summers. I enjoy working with babies the most as it is so incredible to watch how quickly they grow and learn. I also have first aid training and can handle any situation that comes with caring for children. I know how stressful it can be leaving your child in the care of someone else and I will always strive to make it even the slightest bit easier on you. Should I have the privilege of watching your little one I hope that you can rest assured that they are in a safe, loving environment. As of now I am looking to take on under two year olds at my home (ideally, but am not completely opposed to coming to your home ) and am willing to work with you on price. I live in a safe but modest neighborhood in Holiday. Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!

We live in angry times. For evidence, turn on any news program. An awful lot of people, led by right-wing politicians and radio and TV entertainers, are angry at President Obama for trading five Taliban officials, who have been held for years without charge in Guantánamo, for an American soldier, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who apparently walked away from his post after having a change of heart about the War in Afghanistan. The Right is apoplectic.

Bundesliga round-up

Bayern Munich went a point clear at the top, while Werder Bremen won 3-2.Bayern Munich moved a point clear at the top of the Bundesliga after a goalless draw at Hertha Berlin, while Werder Bremen edged a 3-2 win over Hansa Rostock.
Bavarian giants Bayern were handed the advantage in the title race on Saturday, as both Schalke and Stuttgart suffered surprise defeats.
Felix Magath's team were not able to take full advantage, however, and had to settle for a point from their trip to Berlin to face Hertha.
Bayern now go a point clear of Schalke in second and four points ahead of Stuttgart in third, although the Bavarians will feel they could have made more from their advantage.
German champions Werder moved up into fifth in the table with a 3-2 win over Hansa Rostock.
Ivan Klasnic (pictured) scored the first of his double after only four minutes, and Miroslav Klose doubled the home side's advantage just after the half-hour mark.
David Rasmussen pulled one back for Hansa on the stroke of half time, only for Klasnic to grab his second and restore Werder's two-goal cushion just after an hour.
Thomas Rasmussen again reduced the deficit just two minutes later but Werder managed to hold out to claim three vital points.
