James Martin Pacelli McGuinness played a leading role in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and subsequently became Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister (2011 -2017). A senior Republican politician who as a teenager in Londonderry’s Bogside, was fully aware of his proud Irish Identity and the intrinsic belief that the Island of Ireland would one day become one. He was a visionary in every sense of the word, with teenage stamina and an astute awareness of the existence of two major identities living in Northern Ireland. His thinking patterns were very precocious even at that early age, as an uneducated schoolboy struggling to pass the 11 plus examination to grammar school, but like thousands of other children, was unsuccessful. Brought up as a Roman Catholic in his Bogside neighbourhood Martin would have been seen as a conformist to religious ideological beliefs in God. In his early adolescence he would like his peers, have been in a state of identity moratorium facing…

Being Kind To Yourself
A great deal of people don’t understand how important it is to be kind to yourself. They think it a silly, immature concept, however they do not recognize that being kind to yourself is among the very best things you can do in your life.

Women in Politics
Today we have witnessed new era of female political power in the Northern Ireland Assembly. Arlene Foster leader of the DUP and the young Michelle O’Neill leader of Sinn Fein the nationalist stalwart and visionary. On a much broader scale, our British Prime Minister Theresa May leads the Government and is now seen as the shrewd razor sharp force to be reckoned with in International politics, although this may be widely debated. Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland a very able left wing nationalist with a similar vision as O’Neill. Well seasoned male politicians in Northern Ireland including Ministers with portfolio have not been re-elected and can only hope to be reelected next time round. In both Westminster and in our local Assembly, the role of women in politics is making a strong impact on how we see and negotiate our future. The bastion of male power in the Unionist camp has been thwarted with the resignation of Mike Nesbitt its leader. Pressure from Sinn Fein for Arlene to step aside…..

Cars and Celebrities
A recent press article in the Telegraph’s Science feature, pointed out that specific makes such as the Chrysler Crossfire , BMW645ci,and the VW Sharan were rated among the “angriest” cars. Whilst the Japanese Diahatsu, a small hatchback, was said to be the saddest. One would never think of an object most of us depend on as being attributed as “emotional” and having personality. But in reality they in fact do. These become symbols not only of our status and achievement in life, but are seen by society as how vertically mobile we have or have not become in an advanced industrial economy. The same press article rightly points to the Nissan Micra as the most submissive car whilst the Toyota Aygo the most childish car. The various social media sources see the Vauxhall Astra as the most popular friendly car for the average runabout person. Similarly, that German built war machine the classic Beetle has made a comeback with its femininity, matching the commonly ascribed “Hairdressers“ car..

American reality TV shows
We live lives which may be heavily influenced by our attachment or addiction to Celebrity culture and the lifestyles of a range of celebrities some of whom we become devoted to in an extraordinary way. We go to extremes in buying same celebrity brands such as hair products expensive make up, brands they in fact may not use at all , and shoes handbags and event trips to their holidays resorts in the chance of a real life glimpse of them. As a Psychologist who works with celebrity’s lifestyles and celebrity culture I often ask to what extent do the viewing public become addicted to these celebrities or allow their mere presence on screen to be the emotional regulator of your behaviour? How often to you become realistic or choose viewing wisely? Ask yourself if the hours spent viewing such programmes is simple entertainment or can it have any social influence over my behaviour? In relation to public health of the nation it’s wise to ask oneself how dependent are we on getting our fix…..

Plastic Moulding
Plastics are synthetically produced non-metallic substances. It can be moulded into different types and solidified for industrial use. Plastic moulding items can be seen everywhere. Examples are containers, protective caps, plastic tubes, grips, toys, bottles, cases, devices, cooking area utensils and a lot more.
Even the keyboard and the mouse that you use are made through plastic moulding. Even the plastic parts of the chair that you are resting on are produced by doing this.
The basic concept in plastic moulding is placing molten liquid plastic into an all set shaped mould, for example the mould of a bottle. It will then be enabled to cool, then the mold will be gotten rid of to expose the plastic bottle.
Plastic moulding can likewise custom-mould a wide range of plastic items consisting of: garden pots, cabinets, office trays and boxes, barriers, barriers and traffic signage and displays for product and marketing promos.

PVC | Web NI
The polymers are linear and are strong. The monomers are mainly arranged head-to-tail, meaning that there are chlorides on alternating carbon centres. PVC has mainly an atactic stereochemistry, which means that the relative stereochemistry of the chloride centres are random. Some degree of syndiotacticity of the chain gives a few percent crystallinity that is influential on the properties of the material. About 57% of the mass of PVC is chlorine. The presence of chloride groups gives the polymer very different properties from the structurally related material polyethylene.
Additives to finished polymer
The product of the polymerization process is unmodified PVC. Before PVC can be made into finished products, it always requires conversion into a compound by the incorporation of additives (but not necessarily all of the following) such as heat stabilizers, UV stabilizers, plasticizers, processing aids, impact modifiers, thermal modifiers, fillers, flame retardants, biocides, blowing.

VCM
About 80% of production involves suspension polymerization. Emulsion polymerization accounts for about 12% and bulk polymerization accounts for 8%. Suspension polymerizations affords particles with average diameters of 100– 180 μm, whereas emulsion polymerization gives much smaller particles of average size around 0.2 μm. VCM and water are introduced into the reactor and a polymerization initiator, along with other additives. The reaction vessel is pressure tight to contain the VCM. The contents of the reaction vessel are continually mixed to maintain the suspension and ensure a uniform particle size of the PVC resin. The reaction is exothermic, and thus requires cooling. As the volume is reduced during the reaction (PVC is denser than VCM), water is continually added to the mixture to maintain the suspension.
The polymerization of VCM is started by compounds called initiators that are mixed into the droplets. These compounds break down to start the radical chain reaction.
