PSM3
PSM3 (short for PlayStation 3 Magazine) was a video game magazine specialising in all Sony video game consoles and handheld gaming platforms. It was published by Future plc, a UK-based publishing company.
The magazine launched in October 2000 under the name PSM2 and quickly became one of the most popular unofficial PlayStation magazines on the market. It changed its name to PSM3 in issue 78, focusing more on Sony's PlayStation 3, but still covering PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. In July 2011, PSM3 underwent a redesign in an effort to appeal to the "needs of the modern, adult gamer."
On 13 November, 2012, it was announced that both PSM3 and sister magazine Xbox World are to be closed down by publisher Future. The final issue of both magazines went on sale on 12 December 2012.
Magazine team
PSM3 also had a number of regular freelance contributors, including writers from Edge, PC Gamer and NME.
DVD
PSM3's cover disc was popular with readers because of its reviews. Each month, the writers recorded a commentary - much like a director's commentary or a podcast - over footage of recently released games.

Plastarch material
Plastarch Material (PSM) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic resin. It is composed of starch combined with several other biodegradable materials. The starch is modified in order to obtain heat-resistant properties, making PSM one of few bioplastics capable of withstanding high temperatures. PSM began to be commercially available in 2005.
PSM is stable in the atmosphere, but biodegradable in compost, wet soil, fresh water, seawater, and activated sludge where microorganisms exist. It has a softening temperature of 257°F (125°C) and a melting temperature of 313°F (156°C).
It is also hygroscopic. The material has to be dried in a material dryer at 150°F (66°C) for five hours or 180°F (82°C) for three hours. For injection molding and extrusion the barrel temperatures should be at 340° +/- 10°F (171°C) with the nozzle/die at 360°F (182°C).
Due to how similar PSM is to other plastics (such as polypropylene and CPET), PSM can run on many existing thermoforming and injection molding lines. PSM is currently used for a wide variety of applications in the plastic market, such as food packaging and utensils, personal care items, plastic bags, temporary construction tubing, industrial foam packaging, industrial and agricultural film, window insulation, construction stakes, and horticulture planters.

Ignition (student training)
Ignition is a transition and mentorship program that is implemented in high schools across the United States. The program was developed and trademarked by Focus Training, a leadership development company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The goal of Ignition is to build student relationships and make transition from middle school to high school a positive experience for students, administrators, and teachers. The program utilizes upperclassmen to act as mentors to incoming freshmen for the entire 9th grade school year. Mentors help freshmen acclimate to the high school environment, deal with the challenges of the new school, and learn successful behaviors. As of 2010 the Ignition program is implemented at over 220 schools nationwide and serves over 100,000 students and educators.
Ignition Stages
Step 1 Consult - Professional Development, Training and Consulting for Staff.
FOCUS Training works with a team of educators to build a program that fits each school’s needs by considering mentor recruitment, time, space, budget, class size, related program and learning objectives. This stage teaches Ignition advisors how to run each aspect of the program.
