Gypsum is a mineral found in many items we use every day, like toothpaste and shampoo. It is also used to make Portland cement and drywall, create molds for dinnerware and dental impressions, and to build roads and highways.
Gypsum, also known as calcium sulfate hydrate, is a naturally occurring mineral found in layers of sedimentary rock all over the world. It is formed by the evaporation and replenishment of waters containing calcium and sulfates.
White or gray in color, gypsum can be ground into a fine powder and boiled until the majority of its moisture is removed — a process known as calcination. Adding the water back to this powder creates a pliable substance that can be formed into a shape or mold and will harden to hold that form, or the substance can be added to other materials to bind them together.
Because of its binding abilities, gypsum is a primary ingredient in some toothpastes. It is also used as plaster to create surgical casts; as an additive in many foods, like canned vegetables, ice cream and tofu; and as an amendment, conditioner and fertilizer for agricultural applications.
Although gypsum plays an important role in our lives and is found in many of our homes, food and hygiene products, many people do not know much about this mineral or even that it exists at all. Here are some lesser-known facts about this mineral that is a mystery to many.
Before the era of computer generated imagery, early Hollywood filmmakers used a number of substances to create fake snow on set, including cotton, cornflakes and soap flakes. They also used shaved gypsum to mimic the look of real snow.
But snow isn’t the only role gypsum has played on the silver screen. One of its recurring roles is in the creation of movie sets.
Since gypsum is common in the production of sidewalks, it stands to reason that the mineral may have been cemented in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The stars are made of terrazzo, which is composed of marble chips, granite, quartz or glass and poured on a concrete base. Concrete is often bonded with Portland cement so that it can harden, and gypsum is an element in Portland cement.
When the Egyptians learned that gypsum could be made into plaster by grinding it up and adding water, they used it everywhere inside their palaces, pyramids and tombs. As it still holding up thousands of years later, gypsum proves to be a durable building material.
The name “gypsum” is derived from the ancient Greek word “gypsos,” which means plaster. The ancient Greeks used a form of gypsum in the windows of their temples because of the moonlight effect it created on the altars when the sun shone through. The ancient Greeks named this form of gypsum “selenite” after their moon goddess, Selene, and the name has stuck all these years.
Benjamin Franklin was the one of the first people in the United States to use gypsum. He called it “land plaster” and put it to work on his farm to condition the soil. This land plaster is still used in agricultural applications today to provide a source of plant nutrition, to improve the structure of the soil and to reduce runoff, among other benefits.
The walls and ceilings of many houses are covered with drywall because it is both easy to install and simple to finish with a coat of paint. But drywall, which is made of gypsum plaster, offers another benefit to homeowners besides ease of decorating – it offers protection in the event of a fire.
Because gypsum contains water, it will not heat past 212° F should a fire occur in the home. The water in the gypsum will be released as steam and the drywall will remain at 212° F until all the water has evaporated out. Although gypsum is not fireproof, it will protect the structure of the house from damage for a period of time.
Gypsum in its natural state is an ore often found layered with limestone. It is liberated from its natural state most commonly by surface mining. To get the gypsum ore into a state where it can be sold for its many uses, it is crushed to size using DDC-Sizers, Feeder-Breakers, Hammermill Crushers, Jaw Crushers or Roll Crushers and stockpiled to await further processing.
The crushed gypsum is screened using Vibratory Screens to separate the sizes for their different uses. One size from the screen may be sold as a cement retarder, while another size may be stockpiled for further processing. Further processing includes drying the ore to remove excess moisture, then grinding it into a fine powder known as land plaster. The land plaster is collected in a Hydrocylcone, discharged onto a conveyor and stockpiled for sale as a soil conditioner.
To create stucco, the land plaster is heated with hot gasses either directly in a flash calciner or indirectly in a kettle calciner to remove much of the chemically bound water. The stucco can be further ground and mixed with retarders to create plasters, or it can be mixed with dry additives, water, shredded paper, accelerators and soap foam; spread in a mold; and dried in a kiln to create wallboard.
The next time you are sitting in your home, playing a game of tennis, brushing your teeth, washing your hair, or even just walking down the sidewalk, think about how all these items are possible because of a little known mineral called gypsum.

Les Miles: Miles has not refuted the rumors that he and UM have been engaged in "negotiations" with regard to the head coaching position. As of now I would give Miles the edge.
Jim Harbaugh: No doubt that Jim Harbaugh will be fired after the regular season ends. BUT as we mentioned earlier it appears he is heading to Oakland. Maybe this is why UM is going all full court press on Les Miles.
David Cutcliffe: According to multiple reports Cutcliffe has either turned down the job or hasn't even been contacted by Michigan.
Mark Stoops: We are going to wait and see. If Stoops denies interest before the weekend begins we will write it off as rumor, if he doesn't, well, then we won't.
According to one FootballRumorMill.com, a “well-placed source” indicates our own Mark Stoops could be a backup candidate for the Wolverines head coaching job. Michigan is looking for someone who can recruit in Ohio and Mark Stoops has shown he can get it done on the recruiting trail and compete with the big dogs in his home state.
But first, Michigan is seeking Les Miles or Jim Harbaugh for the job. Reports say Miles is interested but the two sides can’t agree on the budget for a staff, while Harbaugh is waiting to finish out his NFL regular season to make any decisions on his future.
If Harbaugh is canned, and that’s very likely, you have to think he’ll take the job at his alma mater.

The apocalypse has been mined to strike terror into the souls of the unprepared since … well, forever. Every generation of humans, since the days when we were still wrapped in furs and painting on walls, has told stories about the end days and shuddered to think they might one day come true.
What happened? Only two years ago, “Melancholia” was giving us a glimpse of what the calm-before-the-doom would truly feel like, and “Take Shelter” was making us wonder if anyone else felt the thunderclaps. Even “2012,” for all its delight in carnage, still wants us to be upset when California, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and a good chunk of Mt. Everest is lost.
Well, it could be argued that 2012 – the year, not the Emmerich film -- happened. We may have been spinning apocalyptic myths for centuries, but we rarely had a schedule for it. But in the 20th century, we became convinced the Mayans had pinpointed it, and it would be December 2012. So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight! At least we’d get one last New Year’s kiss, right?
But much to the surprise of no one, December 2012 came and went, and we’re all still here. If we had to make a guess, that’s when the apocalypse became a whoopee cushion. Who didn’t get on Facebook at some point in December, and make a crack about the end of the world? Remember how every continental midnight, from Samoa to … well, American Samoa, crowed “We’re still here!” on Twitter at their 12:01? It was hilarious! Yes, we were a little drunk, but “Take that, Mayans!” just never stopped being funny.
How can we still laugh, though? It’s not like we’ve hit some kind of Star Trek utopia. Don’t we know the oceans and temperatures are rising, and the ash covered wasteland of “The Road” is a week away, tops?
Sure we do. In fact, we’re probably more keenly aware of it than ever. But culture – and cinema in particular – seems to be experiencing a second renaissance of memento mori and the danse macabre. Like our medieval ancestors before us, we’ve hit a saturation point of fear and tragedy, and now we’re delighting in the destruction. It’s the same hysterical need for amusement, one last hurrah before the candle is snuffed out. They used paintings, poems, and graphic sculptures of rotten corpses and skeletons dancing. We use Simon Pegg and Danny McBride. It’s the same thing.
Moreover, we’re embracing the danse macbre for the same reason: We no longer “know” the hour of our planetary death. It could come at any time. Tomorrow could find us fighting, John Cusack style, to the last ark. Perhaps we’ll be scrabbling out an existence like Mad Max or the nomadic Eli. Maybe we’ll be huddling underground waiting for our John Connor to save us from the machines. There’s no longer a “use by” date. The possibilities now stretch before us, and we’re shifting uncomfortably, knowing that many ancient cultures theorized it before us, and it never came for them. Are we the ones? It has to be us, right? Every generation feels like they’re living in the End Times, we’re just the first to be able to convincingly visualize it on screen.
We don’t know, and we’re worn out imagining how bad it might be. And so we laugh.

Reuben is very much into small sized toys that he can carry around with him – plastic diggers, matchbox cars, Octonaut Gups, his duplo “rocket” and a stack of toy trains. The issue we have is that he likes to bring more than he can carry with him not only around the house, but if we are going to stay at Nonna’s house, or heading away on a short break. We normally limit the madness to what will fit in a small lunchbag that he can carry around himself – that was until we received a Bivouac Kid, Billibag.
The Biviouac Kid Billibag is a stylish and practical storage bag come playmat that easily transitions from Reuben’s bedroom, out to the kitchen so he can move his toys around with him with the pull of the drawstrings. It is quite large, so fits all he needs, but is still a bit large for him to carry by himself. We ended up at Nonna’s house last weekend, and it enabled him to throw his toys in, and then we did up the drawstrings and put it in the car, and then when he got to Nonna’s he could just lay his toys out on their floor.
It also features two sturdy black handles that mean the bag and his toys currently can live on the door handle in his bedroom so they stay off the floor and out of the way when he isn’t playing with them, and easy to grab and move to another room. We have the bag in white, but it comes in a range of fun colours. Easy to wash and dry, we think it would be great for a trip to the beach even with all the sand toys and as a rug to sit on when he gets there.

Of course I am going to write that I like Vince Cable's just announced proposals for capping public sector pay rises to £400 per person. Since public sector pay makes up a quarter of all public spending, it is unrealistic to assume that it can remain unscathed. Many people in the private sector have experienced pay freezes, pay cuts and of course redundancy.
The elegance of Vince's proposal is to maximise fairness for those at the bottom of the heap. Every public sector worker will be eligible for a pro-rata pay rise of up to £400 - equivalent to a 2% pay rise for someone on £20,000 a year, a 3.3% pay rise for someone on £12,000 and a 0.4% pay rise for someone earning £100,000. Managers will not have to award the £400 pay rise to everyone - they will have flexibility in allocating their budgets so that, where appropriate, organisations can agree further pay restraint in order to protect job numbers. But they will find it far more difficult to line their own pockets at the expense of junior staff. This neat idea is far more likely to protect front-line services and jobs while still saving £4 billion per year, and it is certainly fairer than the Conservative suggestion of freezing all public sector pay above £18,000, hitting nurses, teachers, firemen and police officers alike, while offering huge tax cuts for the really wealthy.
I was also struck by Gordon Brown's speech yesterday on efficiency savings in government. If all the vaunted efficiency savings announcements over the last few decades had in fact been delivered, we would be receiving cash back on our tax by now. I am sure that yesterday's announcement will again turn out to be so much smoke and mirrors. We will not get the improvements we need until there is fundamental reform in Whitehall. Central Government is too big, too powerful and too expensive. The Liberal Democrats would scrap entire departments and introduce massive decentralisation, making politics better, cheaper and more accountable. I remember telephoning a senior civil servant friend at the then DTI before the last election in 2005 to tell them that he and they would be abolished if the LibDems got into power. "Oh that's all right," was his reply. "Just so long as you keep your promise to move the the Treasury to Liverpool."

At the beginning of the season, there were a number of candidates looking to be relegated from the Premier League. Promoted sides Reading and Southampton were among these candidates, along with the likes of QPR, Wigan, and even Aston Villa.
Even at this stage of the season, it is yet to be known who the hot favorites for relegation are. With just 9 games remaining, the bottom 6 are separated by just 8 points, meaning no teams are safe. All of the teams threatened with relegation didn’t get their seasons off to the best of starts, with all of them dropping points in the opening few weeks.
QPR’s season probably started the worst, as they fell to a 5-0 home defeat to Swansea on the opening day, which spelled the beginning of a 16 game winless run in the league. They weren’t able to beat the teams around them in the table, nor were they able to get any points off ‘bigger’ teams in the league.
This could quite possibly have come from the fact they made more than 10 signings in the summer window, which didn’t allow the players to gel together and develop understandings before the season began. In the last few months though, they have started to play much better and pick up the important results they need as they were rooted at the bottom of the table.
Then came the 17th game of the season; QPR beat Fulham at home to give them their first win. This is when their fortunes began to change. January signings Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend have had a huge impact on the squad and have since started to pick up draws and wins. They have also closed the gap on their nearest rivals, which will have given them more confidence and belief that they can escape the drop zone. Whether this means they have higher chances of surviving is debatable, but one thing is for sure, the Rangers won’t go down without an almighty fight.
Aston Villa are another team who are in the massive scrap for survival. Paul Lambert came in as new manager last summer and rung the changes by bringing in young, British players. Many Villa fans were unhappy with the signings made by Lambert, but it is easy to see what he is trying to do at the club. Most of the players were very inexperienced when it comes to playing at the Premier League level, and that is the main reason why they haven’t managed to pick up results.
But one player who has been a revelation for them this season is Christian Benteke. Brought in from Belgian side Genk, he was very little known, but having scored more than 15 goals this term, he could be the reason Villa stay up this season. Things haven’t really gone their way so far, with vital decisions going against them to deny them a point or even all 3. They have also been rather unlucky in games, as they have seen themselves dominate games yet not get any points for it.
This just shows you that their attacking side of their game just isn’t really up to scratch. Most recently, they lost 1-0 to defending champions Manchester City, and anyone that had watched the game would’ve seen that Villa had the majority of play. But one mistake from Ciaran Clarke cost them the points when he slipped to allow Carlos Tevez to slot home for what was the only goal of the game.
But coming off the back off of two wins against Reading and QPR, you just wonder if the momentum is swinging Villa’s way. Benteke, Gabby Agbonlahor, and Andreas Weimann will certainly be crucial and will need to be influential in the young Villa side if they are to tighten their grip on a place out of the bottom 3.
Despite being in the bottom 3 for more-or-less the whole season, Reading have done really well. There are one of the 3 promoted teams this season and have surprised many people with the football they’ve played and the results they have managed to pick up. This season, they have become the late goal specialists, having scored late on in games against West Brom, Chelsea, and Sunderland. Adam Le Fondre has been the man for the late goals, scoring the majority of them for Reading despite coming off the bench.
They did that well, because in January, Le Fondre won Player of the Month, and then manager Brian McDermott won Manager of the Month. But with the Royals out of form and without a win in the last 5 games, as well as having sacked Brian McDermott, these can be considered as worrying times for Reading, and you wonder if they will recover from this.
With their strikers out of form and with them being unable to find any real consistency, is the Premier League journey for Reading over before it has really started?

Thinking positively about your situation is a form of self improvement and will allow you to have a more fulfilling lifestyle. This article includes many simple and useful tips for you to start your self improvement, change your character and way of thinking, and improve your lifestyle.
Stress is one of the biggest enemies of happiness. When we are feeling stressed, our minds aren’t just affected. Our entire bodies are too. If we desire to work toward our goals calmly and methodically with a clear head, we have to eliminate the stress inside our heads. Schedule a time every day where you can relax, be alone, and empty your thoughts. This time can help you improve your overall life.
Stress is what often brings down happiness. When the human mind is preoccupied with a state of stress, damage can be caused to both physical and mental aspects of the body. To retain clarity of mind and the motivation to work towards our goals, it is critical to banish unnecessary stress from our minds. Schedule time daily to spend by yourself in relaxation and clarity. Having this time every day can make you more peaceful and happy with yourself.
Strive to increase the time you spend working as much as possible in order to accomplish more. Something you can do is to increase the amount of short breaks you take throughout the workday. This may seem like it is counterproductive, but if you take a break you will reduce the amount of stress you have and get more done.
Get as much work done as you can during the day. Take breaks regularly to stay focused on what you need to work on. This may seem wrong, but the truth is that more breaks give you a chance to relax and recharge yourself; when you return the work at hand, you can be more focused and get many things accomplished.
Always carry something you can record your ideas on. Try carrying paper with you wherever you go. This way, you will always be in a position to write down your thoughts and these can then be implemented at a later time when you have more freedom to act on them.
It is a good policy to compliment those around you when you notice something positive about them. Instead, do the exact opposite and treat others with kindness and respect. This kindness will make you feel better and help you to treat yourself nicely as well.
You need to know what your beliefs are in order to make a personal development plan. You will not be happy or motivated if your plan goes against what you believe in. Instead of this, you should focus your energy on the things that you want to develop that also go along with your own values. If you do this, you are more likely to making lasting changes that will have an impact on you both personally and professionally.
Believe that your future can improve over your past. Work towards constant and continuous improvement. Whatever you did yesterday, do it that much better today.
Begin today setting some money aside regularly for emergencies. It appears as though every time something unexpected happens, we charge more to our credit cards. Even if you can only save $10 per week, do so. It will come in really handy when something goes wrong. You can get your debt moving in the right direction (that is, downward) by making use of that fund instead of credit.
Do you abuse alcohol? Do you do other harmful things like smoke cigarettes? Your body is what you live in every day and therefore consideration for its well being should be a priority. Try getting rid of your bad habits; it can be important to making your life better. Carefully examine your attitudes and actions and identify areas for improvement.
Therapy might be the solution for people who have serious issues. Self-help books can be useful for many small problems, but they won’t help you tackle the bigger issues which could be haunting you. Even the simple act of having someone impartial that you can talk to can improve your chances for success. Books cannot have a dialog with you to discuss any questions or concerns you might have, the way a therapist or psychiatrist can.
Many people are unaware that diet can affect feelings of depression, as an increase in consumption of complex carbohydrates can help. If you do not eat enough complex carbohydrates, you will not have enough Serotonin. You can accomplish this by increasing the amounts of raw vegetables and fresh fruits as well as nuts, whole grains, brown rice and assorted beans.
By following the tips in this article, you can improve your character and outlook on your life. Using these easy tips can help you get started with your self improvement, and how to change yourself and your life for the better.
If you experience trouble meeting the personal development goals you set for yourself, do not be afraid to stop and make a frank assessment of the problem. It can help to get input from others with similar goals or to do online research and compare your goals to others who have succeeded. It’s possible your goals are too lofty, you’re missing a step along the way, or you’re just not putting the resources necessary into meeting your goal.
Self help can be a smart thing to do and help you turn your life around. However, sometimes you are faced with the puzzlement of where to begin. All you should know is where to begin to help yourself.
Take advantage of the time you spend working, and get as much finished as possible. Allow yourself more time for breaks. This might seem counterintuitive at first, but taking more breaks actually gives your mind a chance to recover, which improves concentration when you return to work.
Unfortunately, stress is quite a killjoy to a person’s state of happiness and joy. Stress in the mind hurts us both mentally and physically across our body. Take care of the stress you have in your mind by thinking clearly. Schedule some time every day simply to unwind. Just sit back, let your mind go blank, and think about what’s important to you. Having a time to refresh can give you peace and improve your self-image.
You have to be in good physical shape if you want your personal development efforts to be as effective as possible. Achieving your personal development goals is more likely if you keep your energy levels high by getting a sufficient amount of sleep, exercising on a regular basis, and maintaining a nutritious diet. While these might seem like simple things to do, sometimes they are the hardest to accomplish.
Pick up a pen and paper, and write yourself a positive letter. Write down everything you like about yourself. Carry it with you, and refer to it when necessary. You can even record yourself reading it aloud and listen to it often. This might sound silly but it really helps.
Write up a motivational speech for yourself. On a postcard, write down all of your best qualities. Take it with you everywhere you go, and go over each quality when you feel the need. Even better, you should videotape yourself, reading the list into the camera and watch this video frequently. Why not?
Create a fund specifically for emergencies. Without such a fund, you may have to rely on credit cards or high-interest loans to deal with sudden expenses or emergencies. However, you can protect yourself from this happening by depositing a few dollars into a savings account each week. You will be surprised at how quickly your emergency fund will increase. Having an emergency fund in place can help provide a safety net throughout all the phases of one’s financial life.
Begin a fund for emergency purposes. It’s common for us to add even more charges to our already overtaxed credit cards whenever an unforeseen expense arises, no matter how large or small. If you save a couple of dollars each week, before long you will have an emergency fund. That fund can aid in both the long term and short term as debt goes down.
Try to spend less time bragging about your own accomplishments, and take the time to ask people about what they’ve done. This will help you to find some of the amazing things that people can accomplish, and help you to respect them more.
Instead of focusing on your own achievements, ask others about theirs. Placing your focus on others will help you recognize the potential of those around you.
People should not be afraid to investigate professional therapy to deal with serious problems. While self-help books help to a certain degree, seeing a therapist has more personalized substance to it. Talking can be the motivation that some need in order to be successful. A book can not talk to you like a therapist can.
Unless you take care of yourself, you won’t be able to care for anyone else. Regardless of where you are on your path, whether you are thriving or failing, take the time to rest and restore yourself.
Anytime you have the opportunity, take the time to speak with your pastor or a counselor. These people have experience dealing with many of the issues you may be facing, and many are licensed to do so. Their job is to listen to you and your concerns and help you gain a new outlook on your situation. Taking the time to speak to a professional will help you to be a healthier and happier person.
You should always treat everyone with respect, regardless of who they are or what they are able to do for you. How they are treated speaks more of you than them.
You can make changes to your life by researching your issues and adopting a positive attitude. You must keep your head up and trudge through the rough patches to see the results you want. Using the preceding tips to the fullest will improve your life starting now.
No matter what, you must adhere to one rule. It is important that you be an active participant in living your life. Watching from the sidelines serves no good purpose. Only observing and not living makes you dead to the world, and you must live!

Always look for opportunities to compliment another person. Doing the opposite and taking the initiative to be kind to others helps you to be kind to yourself too.
Be lavish in complimenting others. When you make an effort to treat others kindly, it becomes easier to think of yourself in kinder terms.
Come up with a little pep talk for yourself. On an index card or postcard, write down all the things that are good about you. When things get rough, take the card out, and read over what you have written for inspiration. You might even consider recording the mantra in your own voice, so that you can play it back at any time. “Why would I want to do this?”, you may be asking.
Take the time to change the focus of your conversation from your own accomplishments and awards to the achievements of those around you. Placing your focus on others will help you recognize the potential of those around you.

All you will need to do is save a couple of dollars per week. That fund can help us both in the short term and in the long term as our debt decreases instead of grows.
People who have particularly intractable problems should try therapy. Resources designed for self-help may be helpful up to a point, but they do not provide the expertise or specialized attention that a patient can get from a therapist. Sometimes, success happens by simply talking problems through. You can’t have a discussion with a book.
You may find that meeting and talking with a spiritual or secular counselor a rewarding experience. These types of individuals are trained to help you deal with your problems in a healthy way.
