Can You Identify the Accent? - The Biblio Files. Accents fascinate us. We live where there are always a lot of tourists, and often hear unusual accents and languages. We make a game out of trying to identify them. If we hover near an exotic looking couple at the supermarket, it's just to try to hear more of their accents. At least that's what we tell people. If you are attracted to accents too, try this Accent Game we came across recently. There are sixteen short videos of people reading a few lines from a poem in English, which you try to identify from a list four accents.
A good book about accents is American Voices: How Dialects Differ from Coast to Coast, edited by Walter Wolfram and Ben Ward. Talking Proper: The Rise of Accent as Social Symbol by Linda Mugglestone is about the social implications of accents in Great Britain through its history. PISTACHIO CANDYLIGHTS | Grandma G's Cottage.

Product Details Color-changing dyes and additives have been offered in paper, plastic, and textiles for some time, but this product takes the idea into a new area: glass tiles. Offered in a range of colors and sensitivities, the tiles change color based on ambient temperature, body temperature, or water temperature. The textured glass surface layer protects and highlights the color-change film on the tile. The base color of the tile can match almost any color, and the temperature change point can be fit to the user’s environment and requirements.
The dynamic color change begins at the selected activation temperature and shimmers through three phases, one with each 6–10° rise in temperature. Once the temperature peak is passed, the base color returns and remains the same until the temperature drops. The tiles come in six standard lines.
