Glass from rubbish could become bricks and roads
Research at the University of San Diego led by Dr. Donald B. Peterson shows ground glass from municipal waste can be separated by froth flotation and melted into new glass or used to make an asphalt substitute called glassphast. The work, under the National Center for Resources Recovery, aims to produce ecofriendly cullet for containers, bricks, or paving, with a pilot plant soon capable of 1.25 tons per hour.

Joy of stitching needlepainting by Cass Hedlund of Dover Mass
Cass Hedlund of Dover Massachusetts is renowned for needlepainting nail hangings and painted look pictures created with needle and yarn. The craft traces to Victorian mourning pictures with silk backgrounds and colorwashed edges and requires control, texture and color flow. Advanced students begin with a single flower then landscape, using an outline sketch and multiple colors, often dyeing yarns with tea or coffee for color harmony.
