From the author: The effects of molecular weight and molecular structure of styrene(St)-based and vinyl acetate(VAc)-based low-profile additive (LPA) on the curing kinetics and compatibility of unsaturated polyester (UP)/LPA system and linear shrinkage, water absorption rate, surface gloss and pigmentability of bulk molding compound (BMC) were investigated. Results show that the curing reaction rate decreases with an increase of the molecular weight of LPA due to the chain entanglement effect. The plasticizing effect of LPA on the (UP) network was reduced with an increase of the molecular weight of LPA. Water absorption of BMC increases as the molecular weight of LPA increases, implying that more microvoids were formed inside the BMC, resulting a lower linear shrinkage rate, and worse pigmentability. However, good shrinkage control LPA does not necessarily lead to a smoother surface and better surface gloss. Furthermore, modified LPAs possess better compatibility with UP, the final curing conversion of UP is elevated, and bot h better shrinkage control and surface properties are also observed.

Excerpt:Faith Yang Faith Yang (simplified Chinese : ; traditional Chinese : ; pinyin : Yáng N iwén, born 2 March 1974 in Taipei , Taiwan ) is a rock musician and fashion model. She grew up in Sydney , Australia and studied biology and genetics at Sydney University . In 2000 Faith won the Taiwan Golden Music awards for Best Female Performer got nominated for Best Album ( Silence ). Biography After graduating from Sydney University, Yang returned to Taiwan to start a music career. She soon gained recognition at the university and pub circuit in Taiwan while touring with her backing band - Monster. In 1996 she signed with Magicstone records. Her first two albums are heavily influenced by the Australian pub rock style, with a gothic undertone noticeable in tracks such as "Silence", "Fear" and "Monster", while her third album has a lighter pop style, with only hints of the anger evident in the first two recordings. All three albums were huge hits in Taiwan and in 2000 Faith won the Taiwan Golden Music awards for Best Female Performer got nominated for Best Album ( Silence ). Faith did not renew her contract with Magicstone, claiming the label had become too commercial for her style of music. In 2004 it was reported that she had signed with Sony label Silver Fish Records. Her first album with Silver Fish Records, "Continuation ( )", was released December 2007, with "Self-Selected," an album of English-language covers, released in April 2009. Faith also works as a fashion and cosmetics model for companies such as Rado and Neutrogena, as well as continuing to tour on the Taiwan pub circuit. She has also considered a number of acting roles.

Product Description
This truly lives up to its title as a COMPLETE presentation of the art of the Chinese Kung Fu sword. The manual starts with basic warm ups, progresses through static postures to individual movements and finally to sparring.In ancient times weapons training, in Kung Fu history, often took precedence over empty hand. On a higher level there are many special skills which people can use in empty handed combat which originated in the weapons division of the art. Fencing will allow people to see these connections.This book is an important step not only in preserving a great tradition but also a contribution to setting a standard. Real movements, well explained, with both the Dragon and the Tiger sides shown, footwork clarified and strategy revealed. Not only important, but great fun! ... Read more

Right to the Point
This is, without a doubt, the most thorough book and DVD I've ever seen on the sword. Jason Tsou shows all the basics and movements but goes way beyond that. We all practice sword sets but how many of us can say we know ANYTHING about the weapon's use? Well here it is. I almost don't want to say much because, if you eyes are sharp, you're going to see some moves you never dreamt of especially related to engagement. The Chinese sword is even better than I thought. And sifu Tsou's addition of a DVD gives movement to the technical points covered in the manual (great, that it's spiral bound and a lot easier if you have a sword in your hand while you are reading). I've also got Jason Tsou's Random Circle DVDs and his Yang Tai Chi book and they are some of the most densely packed presentations for informaiton I've ever seen in English. Nothing held back! ...

Excerpt: Yuan Shu Chi (Chinese: ; pinyin: Yuán Shúqí; Wade-Giles: Yüan Shu-ch'i; born 9 November 1984) is an athlete from the Republic of China. She competes in archery. Yuan represented the Republic of China (as Chinese Taipei) at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She placed 6th in the women's individual ranking round with a 72-arrow score of 658. In the first round of elimination, she faced 59th-ranked Kateryna Palekha of Ukraine. Yuan defeated Palekha 162-158 in the 18-arrow match to advance to the round of 32. In that round, she faced 27th-ranked Polish archer Małgorzata Sobieraj, defeating her 158-149. Yuan then defeated 43rd-ranked Reena Kumari of India 166-148, advancing to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Yuan faced Yun Mi Jin of Korea, defeating the 3rd-ranked archer 107-105 in the 12-arrow match to end the Korean team's hopes of sweeping the medals. Yuan advanced to the semifinals, where she was defeated by Korean Lee Sung Jin 104-98, moving Yuan to the bronze medal match. In the final 12-arrow match, she lost by one point to 21st-ranked Alison Williamson of Great Britain, finishing just out of the medals at 4th place in women's individual archery. Yuan was also a member of the team that won the bronze medal for Chinese Taipei in the women's team archery competition. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing Yuan finished her ranking round with a total of 652 points. This gave her the sixth seed for the final competition bracket in which she faced Lexie Feeney in the first round, beating the archer from Australia 104-101. In the second round Yuan was surpr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=918248 ... Read more
