Without discounting the association of the psychological condition with the physical one, I'm not convinced that our high and/or unstable glucose levels are directly responsible for that change in our mental state.

Destinations: Spaceport Black Orchard PDF
Tabletop Adventures
'Black Orchard' is in business to shift cargo and lots of it. The port provides amenities for visitors and passengers alike, but its primary bread and butter is heavy cargo. This Destination is a fully described spaceport providing a location for refueling, diagnosis and refitting of any vessel. This technological center bustles as it serves and services ships from all over. A long flat strip with five enormous towers, it offers repairs for obscure nanotech infestations or sensor diagnostics for the most delicate of damage systems. Characters can transfer cargo, take on additional munitions or take time out for a ground-based adventure; all are possibilities here.
The Destinations series by Tabletop Adventures is your gateway to the universe, bringing you flexible, creative, stat-free settings that you can use to bring life and adventure to virtually any futuristic game system.
"Spaceport Black Orchard" is described in three sections: an Introduction, including background information and a description of what the port looks like from the air; Spaceport Layout, with details about each individual tower; and Bringing Black Orchard to Life, which gives adventure seeds and plot hooks that could be useful in nearly any science fiction campaign. Text is provided to read aloud directly to your players if desired, giving descriptions of the various areas of the port. Also featured is an artist's rendering of the location by Gillian Pearce.
Let Tabletop Adventures supply you with Destinations for all your Future travel needs!
The download file includes the fully bookmarked color PDF and a text version of the file for easy printing or use by people who prefer to adjust the text size.
Written by Martin Ralya; illustrated by Gillian Pearce. 9 pages

As part of its survey, titled "Broadband Adoption and Use in America," the Federal Communications Commission found that downloading or streaming music or video via cell phone appealed to only 17 percent of adults on average. The largest interest came from 18-29-year-olds, who show a 32 percent interest in this activity. There is hope: With our society's growing interest in mobility and the ever-increasing combination of mobile media devices, these numbers are bound to boost.

The second(!!) ingredient in this product is "potassium alum", i.e. a compound of potassium, aluminium, and phosphate ions coordinated to 12 water molecules, found in nature as a natural mineral deposit.
I tend to use "natural" deodorants because regular ones, particularly when they contain antiperspirants such as aluminium chlorohydrate, irritate my underarms. I tend to avoid aluminium-containing deodorants completely, because even the "crystal" or "pit-rock" type deodorants are little more than a lump of natural alum, (potassium aluminium phosphate), also irritate my skin but to a much lesser degree.
Fortunately despite containing so much aluminium, this deodorant doesn't irritate my arm pits to the point where I would have to stop using it and send it back, so I'm going to persevere but I won't buy again.
As for the deodorant itself, it does what it says on the bottle. Hot weather, long days at work, and martial arts are no match for its pong-suppressing action. I haven't once had an unpleasant aroma in my pits since using this. It seems to stop me sweating, much like a conventional antiperspirant, which leads me to wonder if even potassium alum has a slight effect on the sweat glands, although not as distinct as aluminium chlorohydrate.Read more ›
It clearly states in the marketing that its free from aluminium, which is why I bought it.
the FIRST thing on the ingredient is potassium alum.
The crystal deodorant stones are made from alum. The most widely used form of alum used in the personal care industry is potassium alum. The full chemical name of potassium alum is potassium aluminum sulfate.
The reason that most people try to avoid aluminum in deodorant is because of its possible link to Alzheimer's disease. There is some strong evidence of a link -- for instance, in 1988 a truck driver accidentally dumped 20 tons of aluminum sulfate in to a town's drinking water.
Now, over 20 years later, they are finding a higher incidence of Alzheimer's in the people of this town.
Many doctors such as popular web guru and natural health expert Dr. Mercola suggest avoiding aluminum as much as possible.

After the Tiger Pataudi Memorial Lecture, I had a chat with Harbhajan. I told him he needed to rectify his line and length to make a successful comeback. I was uncertain at that point if he would be playing the first Test against Australia in Chennai. Now, that Harbhajan's 100th Test cap has been confirmed, I congratulate him on this remarkable achievement.
Harbhajan's longevity is a testimony to his talent and consistency. However, he will be under pressure to perform. He hasn't been bowling well recently. He has been bowling too short and is not consistent with his line. But I believe he still has some years of cricket left in him.
As I told him last night, he has to make the batsmen play forward and has to bowl a consistent off-stump line. The shorter length that he has been bowling allows the batsmen to cut and pull. The big occasion of playing the 100th Test notwithstanding, Harbhajan will know that his performance will be under scrutiny.
As the senior-most spinner and one of the most experienced players in the side, Harbhajan will have the additional responsibility of leading the attack. He will be expected to take wickets and what better opposition to do so than Australia, a team he has a great record against.
However, it will be important that he bowls with a relaxed mind and doesn't try too hard. Harbhajan has played enough cricket to know that a spinner needs to be patient. He needs to keep in mind that his performance would be monitored and another bad series might put an end to his Test career.

Gone Vegan: Halfway There
For those who didn't read my first article, here's a quick brief: I'm spending the month of October as a vegan, trying not to eat any animal byproducts for 31 days: no milk, no cheese, no meat. Now I'm officially past the halfway mark, and needless to say, it's been an adventure.
Day one was challenging, and my first obstacle was the café. Of course the soy milk machine wasn't working that day, and almost everything else had dairy products in it. So I settled for dry cereal and took it back to my dorm to eat with the soy milk I had bought.
Lunch and dinner have been more frustrating. Most of the soups aren't vegan, so I basically live off vegetarian chili and minestrone. And as much as I like pasta, it gets boring after a while. Somehow I've made it work, thanks to my kitchen in Hill and all of the random vegan foods such as vegetables that I've bought recently.
Sadly, cooking hasn't been as fun as I thought. I expected to make fresh and healthy meals at least once a day, but that's proven to be nearly impossible. By the end of week one, I discovered just how many ingredients are necessary for one meal, and my kitchen doesn't have the capacity for them. So I got creative with the basics. Who knew store-bought veggie burgers with pesto and vegan cheese were amazing? The same goes for vegan chicken.
However, tofu, or should I say tof-EW, is another story. For all the vegetarians out there, I bet you feel my pain. Tofu is rough. Because vegans and vegetarians need alternative sources of protein than meat, tofu is a popular option. But it's tasteless, so I loaded it up with spices and just winged it. I recommend finding another way to get protein, such as beans, soy milk and the vegan versions of bacon and chicken.
I'd be lying if I said I haven't cheated. Recently I ate pancakes…and apple cider doughnuts. I couldn't help myself. It's prime apple season!
Now that I'm in the final two-week stretch, I hope to conquer vegan brownies. The past two weeks introduced me to a massive vegan community online. I visit FoodGawker.com daily, and I discovered how to make a replacement for eggs, such as apple sauce, as well as how to include beans in a variety of meals. Being a vegan has made me appreciate meat a lot more than I thought it would. Also, living a vegan lifestyle is a lot harder for college students.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to bending of glass plates moving in a horizontal or approximately horizontal position, under the effect of their own weight, with a device including a shaping bed made of rotating shaping elements whose surfaces in contact with the glass plates, as they advance, define increasingly curved generatrices, these shaping elements being mounted on a frame that is adjustable in height and can be inclined in the lengthwise direction of movement of the plates, by pivoting around a transverse horizontal axis located at the upstream end of the shaping bed. The rotating shaping elements of the shaping bed can have various configurations. The disclosure of this application is related to the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 669,872, filed on the same date as the present application by the present Applicants and entitled "BENDING OF GLASS SHEETS ON SHAPING BED CONSISTING OF ROTATING ELEMENTS".
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known to have rigid rollers with a curved profile, mounted to rotate, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,139,359.
It is also known to have rotating rods or cylindrical rollers that are sufficiently flexible and elastic to be deformed by the inclination of their ends in relation to the horizontal and so that this modification of shape is compatible and is maintained with the rotation. Such deformable rollers are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,226,608.
In another known bending device, the rotating shaping elements also participate in the conveying and are formed by flexible tubular sheaths rotatably driven around rigid curved rods. Adjustment of the radius of curvature of the bending shape, and the progression of its curvature in the direction of conveying the glass plates is achieved by the fact that the various curved rods are mounted so as to be able to be pivoted around an axis that passes through their ends, and so they can be adjusted to inclinations that are different from one another, which increasingly removes them from the conveying plane in which the glass plates are located when they arrive.
Such a bending device is described in detail in French Pat. No. 2,312,463. In this prior device, the shaping elements, i.e., curved rods surrounded by their rotating tubular sheaths, are mounted on a frame hinged at its upstream end on a stationary pivoting axis located at the level of the cylindrical conveying rollers of the preceding installation that brings the glass plates to the device. While each curved rod can be more or less inclined to cause a variation of the radius of curvature which each element that it contains exhibits to the underside of the glass plates, the frame that supports the assembly of shaping elements is able to pivot around the transverse axis located at its upstream end so that the summits of the curvatures of the shaping elements always remain at the level at which the flat plane glass plates are introduced in the bending device.
It is thus possible for both convex and concave shaping beds to maintain the central line at the summit of the sheets of glass at the same level during the bending operation.
However, when to meet certain conditions, it is desired to perform the bending so that the lengthwise edges of the glass sheets extending parallel to the conveying direction remain at the same level, this is possible with the known device for only a determined width of glass plates. When glass plates of another width have to be bent, the position of their lengthwise edges on the shaping elements is necessarily different and the level of these edges is necessarily lower or higher, which acts on the optical quality of the curved glass plates and can affect them unfavorably.
The present invention has as its object the provision of bending devices of the type specified, which make it possible to meet the most varied requirements relative to the level of determined zones of the treated glass plates.
In particular, the bending device should be of such flexibility that, both in the case of convex and concave shaping beds, independently of the size of the glass plates to be bent, it offers the possibility of maintaining either the central line at the summit of the curvature or the lengthwise edges of the glass plates at the initial conveying level of the plane glass plates, during the bending and optionally the tempering and/or cooling that follow.
This object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the pivoting shaft of the frame carrying the shaping elements is mounted to be adjustable in height.
Thanks to this adjustment in height of the pivoting axis of the frame carrying the shaping elements, adapting of the bending device to a particular requirement has already been performed the moment the first shaping element is encountered by the glass plates so that there are avoided slight unfavorable influences of the prior devices in which optionally only the shaping elements placed downstream could be adjusted in height.
Thus during bending of glass plates of different widths, adjustment of the bending devices according to the invention can be modified so that, particularly in the case of a concave shaping bed, the lengthwise edges of the glass plates, parallel to the conveying direction, remain constantly exactly at the same level, as well as in the heating furnace which precedes the bending device, in the bending device itself, and in the tempering and/or cooling installations that follow.
Various other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood from the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and wherein:
FIG. 1 is an overall view in perspective of an embodiment of a bending device according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a view in longitudinal section of another embodiment of a bending device, according to the invention, preceded by a heating furnace and followed by a tempering station;
FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal section of another embodiment of the bending device incorporated in an installation for making bent glass plates;
FIG. 4 is a view in vertical section along line IV--IV of FIG. 3; and
FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating the operation of adjusting the height of the pivoting axis of the frame carrying the shaping bed.
FIG. 1 illustrates the basic structure of a bending device according to the invention. Glass plates 1 to be bent are heated to the bending temperature in a heating furnace (not shown here), in which they are conveyed in the direction of arrow F by conveyer rollers 2 which are driven in rotation. The heating furnace is followed by a bending station. This bending station comprises a shaping bed confined in a heated enclosure (not shown) and consisting of a plurality of rotating shaping elements 3 on which glass plates 1 rest. Under the effect of their own weight, glass plates 1 take the shape of the shaping bed.
Each rotating shaping element 3 comprises a flexible woven metallic tubular sheath 4, resistant to twisting, and rotatably driven around a rigid curve rod 5.
All the curved rods have the same shape and the same radius of curvature. Each has a curved middle part and ends 6 which are straight in relation to this median part so that they are coaxial and form a pivoting axis S--S' around which the curved rod can be pivoted. These ends 6 of the curved rods are mounted to pivot in beams 8 parallel to the conveying direction of glass plates 1, these beams constituting a support frame for the shaping bed. On the outside of the frame determined by beams 8, each curved rod 5 is provided with a crank 9 which serves to pivot the rod in the desired angular position. For this purpose, a roller 10 is mounted on the end of each crank 9 and all rollers 10 associated with all curved rods 5 of the shaping bed are guided in a U-shaped rail, having a rail portion referenced as 11 in a first part A of the shaping bed, and a rail portion referenced as 12 in a second part B downstream from the first part A.
In the first part A of the shaping bed, curved rods 5 are all inclined differently, the inclination increasing progressively from one rod to the next, thus forming a shaping bed whose curvature in the crosswise direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of glass plates 1 steadily increases. In this embodiment, the shaping bed is concave.
Whereas the first curved rod 5 of the bending bed, i.e. referenced rod 5', is very slightly inclined, almost lying in the conveying plane, i.e., in the plane defined by the upper generatrices of rollers 2 of the heating furnace, following rods 5 are increasingly inclined, in the shaping direction, to the last rod 5 of portion A, this latter rod referenced 5", which has the maximum inclination determining the curvature desired for glass plates 1.
To assure the progressive increase of the inclination of the various curved rods 5, rail portion 11 is mounted to pivot around a transverse joint 14 located at its upstream end, which makes it possible to incline the rail portion in the direction of the progression of the glass plates in relation to the frame determined by beams 8, in particular in relation to the horizontal if this frame is placed horizontally. A lever 16 of a toggle joint mechanism 17, 18, and 19 described in detail below, serves to provide pivoting of rail portion 11 around joint 14.
Rail portion 12 in which end rollers 10 of cranks 9 of curved rods 5 travel in part B of the installation is hinged on a pin 20 belonging to the downstream end of rail portion 11. It can be varied in height while remaining in the same angular inclination, particularly while remaining horizontal, by action on lever 16 which controls the deformation of two contiguous parallelograms. The first parallelogram is formed by a connecting rod 18, two links 17 each fastened to two points distant from rail portion 12, this portion of rail portion 12 constituting the fourth side of the parallelogram. The second is formed by connecting rod 18 common to the two parallelograms, two arms 19, one of which is extended by lever 16, and a fourth side constituted by an unreferenced portion of a fixed frame located between two stationary points 21 for fastening of the two arms 19.
Because of the movement of rail portion 12 with a constant inclination, the pivoting of all the curved rods mounted in part B of the mounting installation and referenced 5'" is identical so that all these curved rods 5'" have the same inclination, an inclination that, moreover, is identical with that of curved rod 5", the last of curved rods 5 of part A of the shaping bed.
Because of the connection between rail portion 12 and rail portion 11, the variation in height of rail portion 12 causes an inclination of rail portion 11 by pivoting around joint 14.
Instead of toggle joint mechanism 17, 18 and 19 it would, of course, be possible to use other means making possible a progressive adjustment in height of rail portion 12 and a progressive inclination of rail portion 11.
Curved rods 5'" of part B of the shaping bed are mounted to pivot in a frame 22 which is hinged around joints 23 on the downstream end of beams 8 of the frame of part A of the shaping bed. This frame 22 is mounted on a toggle joint mechanism 24, 25 and 26 of the same type as that which carries rail portion 12. this mechanism 24, 25 and 26 can be operated by a lever 27, which moves frame 22 up and down with no change in inclination, and which also modifies the inclination of the frame formed by beams 8 of first part A of the shaping bed by making beams 8 pivot around joints 28, located on a transverse horizontal axis XX' at the head of the installation.
Thus thanks to these adjustments it is possible in a simple way to modify the radius of curvature of the shaping bed.
Lever 16 and toggle joint mechanism 17, 18 and 19 make it possible not only to adjust the radius of curvature of the shaping bed, but also to orient the curvature, i.e., to make the bed concave or convex.
Lever 27 serves to adjust the height of portion B of the shaping bed and consequently the inclination of portion A of said bed, so that, for given widths of glass plates 1, either the line placed lengthwise to the center of said plates 1 or lengthwise the edges remains at a constant level.
Bearings 28 of beams 8 which constitute the frame carrying curved rods 5 in portion A of said shaping bed are adjustable in height. To do this, they are supported by rods 33 of lifting jacks 34. Rods 33 can be moved by action on drive shaft 35.
Analogously, joint 14 of U-shaped rail portion 11 is mounted on a rod 37 of a lifting jack 38, said rod being able to go up or down by action on drive shaft 39.
Flexible tubular sheaths 4, which are resistant to twisting and cover curved rods 5, are driven in rotation around rods 5 via sprockets 31 to which the sheaths are fixed. The sprockets engage in one or more drive chains 30.
FIG. 2 shows, in longitudinal section along the median axis, a unit of an installation for making bent glass plates, including a second embodiment of a bending device according to the invention. This bending device is preceded by a heating furnace 58, equipped with rollers 2 for conveying the glass plates in the direction of arrow F, and followed by a tempering station 59. The elements of the bending station are shown in FIG. 1, i.e., mainly shaping elements 3 formed by curved rods 5 surrounded by flexible tubular sheaths 4 driven in rotation. These shaping elements 3 determine a shaping bed in two parts: a first part A in which the curvature presented to glass plates 1 is initially practically zero, and progressively increases until it becomes maximum at the level of the last element 5" of this part A, and a second part B in which the curvature is constant and equal to the curvature established by the last shaping element 5" of part A.
In first part A, curved rods 5 are mounted to pivot in beams 42 placed lengthwise and in second part B they are mounted in beams 43. Beams 43 are hinged on the downstream end of beams 42 by a joint 44, beams 43 of part B of the shaping bed rest on joints 45 and 46 mounted on rods 47 and 48 of lifting jacks 49 and 50 operated by shafts 51 and 52. Beams 42 of part A of the shaping bed are supported, on the one hand, by joint 44 and, on the other hand, at their upstream end on a joint 53 located on a transverse horizontal axis YY' and mounted on rod 54 of a lifting jack 55 operated by a shaft 56. Thus, it is possible to act on the position of all the rods, and even on the position of the first of rods 5 of the shaping bed, thanks to simple means for maneuvering with a great precision.
Jacks 49, 50 and 55 rest on fixed frame 57, as do the other parts of the installation, particularly heating furnace 58 and tempering station 59.
Tempering station 59 includes means for support of the bent glass sheets, i.e., curved rods 5 surrounded by flexible tubular sheaths, having the same orientation as rods 5 of part B of the shaping bed, and blowing boxes 60 and 61 delivering cooling air to the sheaths through tubular nozzles 62.
Another advantageous embodiment of a bending device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
In this embodiment the beams which support the curved rods of second part B of the shaping bed are referenced 63 and form a frame that rests on pillars 64. The beams that support the curved rods of first part A of the shaping bed are referenced 65 and are mounted on joints 66, 67. Joints 67 are located on a transverse horizontal axis ZZ'.
Each front or upstream joint 67 is carried by a rod 69 of a lifting jack 70 operated by a shaft 71, while each back or downstream joint 66 is carried by a pillar 68.
The assembly of pillars 64 and 68 and of jack 70 rests on a frame 75 which is carried by jacks 73 and 74.
Overall adjustment in height of the shaping bed is performed first with lifting jacks 73 and 74. In this adjustment, account is taken of the radius of curvature to be given to the glass plates, of the width of said plates with a view to orienting the shaping bed, particularly horizontally. The jacks bring frame 75, on which pillars 64, 68 and jack 70 carrying the shaping bed rest, to the desired height.
Then, a more precise adjustment by jack 70 makes it possible to correct the height of the beginning of the shaping bed.
Of course, the cranks fitted on the curved rods, the rollers, and the support rails necessary for orientation of the curved rods still exist in this embodiment, but they are not shown to avoids cluttering the drawing.
Advantageously, below parts A and B of the shaping bed are provided funnel-shaped enclosures 78, closed at their upper end by perforated plates 80, fed by feed pipes 79 with pressurized gas, generally air, heated to about 650� C. The hot air, emitted vertically from the bottom to the top through the perforations in plates 80, is directed toward the lower face of the glass plates and thus forms a homogeneous, uniform flow of gas providing support to said glass plates. When the excess pressure in enclosures 78 is about 10 to 60 mm water gage (10-60 mm WG) or 100 to 600 Pa, when the perforations through plates 80 have a diameter of 12 to 15 mm and are evenly distributed in both the crosswise and lengthwise directions with the same pitch of 25 to 35 mm, and when the distance between perforated plates 80 and the glass plates is such that at the level of the glass the static pressure is negligible in comparison with the dynamic pressure, which corresponds to distances between plates 80 and glass plates on the order of 100 to 300 mm, there is obtained on the glass plates a homogeneous, uniform pressure on the order of 2 to 30 mm WG, which makes it possible to take over 20 to 80% of the weight of the glass plates, thus reducing the pressure exerted by the shaping elements on the plates and notably improving the optical quality.
Above the shaping bed is mounted a hot gas aspiration hood 82. This hood 82 is connected to an evacuation pipe 83 with a conduit (not shown) which recycles the recovered gas.
This gas receives additional heat and is reinjected into enclosures 78 by feed pipes 79.
Just above the shaping bed, and lower than the input of hood 82, are provided heating elements 86 fastened to a support 87 that is adjustably secured by holding lugs 88.
Upstream from the bending station itself is heating furnace 58 in which the glass plates, conveyed flat on cylindrical conveyer rollers 2, are heated to bending temperature.
Tempering station 59 with blowing boxes 60 and 61 deivering tempering gas by tubular nozzles 62 is placed downstream from the bending station.
FIG. 4 shows other details relating to the design and mounting of the bending station shown in FIG. 3. Thus, there can be seen crank 9 provided at the end of first curved rod 5' provided with roller 10 which is guided in U-shaped rail portion 11. As can be seen in this FIG. 4, the curved middle part of this rod 5', its ends, and crank 9, are in the same horizontal plane. It can also be seen, as shown in perspective in FIG. 1, that U-shaped rail portion 11 is mounted to pivot on joint 14 fastened to rod 37 of jack 38. Tubular sheath 4 rotates around curved rod 5', this sheath 4 being fixed to a sprocket 31 which engages with a chain 30, this sprocket 31 being placed on the outside of enclosure 84 which encloses the bending station. Like jack 70 placed under the upstream end of part A of the shaping bed, jack 38 rests on frame 75 which, for its part, can be adjusted in height by lifting jacks 73.
Heating elements 86, already mentioned in connection with FIG. 3, are shown in FIG. 4. These heating elements are carried by supports 87, secured by lugs 88 which are fastened by washers 89 and nuts 90 in the side walls of enclosure 84.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the steps performed in using the device of the invention. FIG. 5 shows a glass plate 1 of width b1 to be bent with a radius of curvature R. FIG. 6 shows a glass plate 1' of width b2 less than b1 which also is to be bent with a radius of curvature R.
In the heating furnace, conveying plane E is determined by the upper generatrices of cylindrical conveyer rollers 2. For passage into the bending station on the first shaping element comprising curved rod 5' of the first part A, slightly inclined in such a direction that the bending bed is concave, the bearings of said rod 5' are lifted a height h1 so that the lengthwise edges 92 of glass plate 1, which is located in the curved portion of curved rod 5' which is slightly lowered in relation to its ends because of the inclination and curvature of said rod, remain at the level of conveying plane E. On the other hand, the central zone of the glass plate which fits the curved median part of rod 5, sags below the level of edges 92.
The bearings of the following curved rods 5 are increasingly lifted to keep edges 92 always at the same level while the center increasingly sags. Thus last rod 5" of rods 5 of portion A of the shaping bed has its bearings offset upward a height h2 above conveying plane E, substantially greater than h1.
If now, as FIG. 6 shows, a glass plate 1' of width b2 less than b1 is curved, the bearings of curved rod 5', inclined to exhibit upward concavity, should be lifted a distance H1 greater than h1 so that edges 93 of plate 1' remain at the level of initial conveying plane E. Analogously, distance H2 of the upward offset of the bearings of curved rod 5" at the downstream end of part A of the shaping bed, is clearly greater than H1 and h2.
The figures show in particular that adjustment of the height, according to the invention, of the pivoting axis of part A of the shaping bed plays an essential role, even for the first shaping elements.
Thanks to the proposed device, the transverse pivoting axis of the frame supporting the shaping bed can be adjusted in height, and said frame can be inclined by pivoting around this transverse axis making it possible progressively to increase or decrease the height of the bearings of the curved rods, in the direction of the curvature of the shaping bed.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

Write a program that simulates a lottery. The program should have an array of 5 integers named winningDigits, with a randomly generated number in the range of 0 through 9 for each element in the array. The program should ask the user to enter 5 digits and should store them in a second integer array named player. The program must compare the corresponding elements in the two arrays and count how many digits match. For example, the following shows the winningDigits array and the Player array with sample numbers stored in each. There are two matching digits, elements 2 and 4.
Once the user has entered a set of numbers, the program should display the winning digits and the player's digits and tell how many digits matched.

The kingdom of heaven implies the welding of the faith of many into one. To understand what condition is needed for the highest corporate faith in God we must turn aside and consider the laws of all corporate life. It will be seen that in this chapter we are not attempting to set forth the integrity of the individual life — a truth that is in no danger of being minimised by the modern temper. We believe, indeed, that the only philosophic basis for Christianity is the conception of personality as the ultimate factor in human thought; the belief that a personal intellect can alone interpret nature, as a personal intelligence could alone create nature. But just as we have no experience of mind except under bodily conditions, so we have no experience at all of individual mind except as influenced by other minds. It is the bearing of this fact on the Christian life which we now proceed to consider. A race, a nation, a class, an orderly crowd, a riotous mob — these are units in the same sense in which the individual is a unit. A man's conscious 44
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH
self is made up of what appears to be many selves — wills that conflict, thoughts that argue
among themselves except when the voice of the leader, the stronger volition, wins a whole-hearted response. The mind as an individual whole forms a different object of study from its separate sentiments and volitions. In like manner a body of men related to each other in any way form a unit whose faculties are not the same as those of the individuals that compose it. The psychology of the corporate life is not that of the individual life. o one kind-hearted man, for example, could rejoice in the death of a stag in the way in which a crowd of hunters will rejoice in it. It is well known that very bad men in a crowded theatre will involuntarily hiss a slight defection from virtue on the part of a hero. It is not the aggregate of their individual sentiments that such men express. As an aggregate they have different sentiments from those they possess as individuals. When reflecting, they have different powers of thought from those they have as individuals; when in action, the combined action is not the mere sum of individual actions, but something better or worse. Yet although the individual life and the corporate life may be shown to be different, they always merge into and react on one another. This chapter is concerned with the effect of the corporate life on the individual. A man has not the same mind when with one neighbour as when with another. When with them both his mind undergoes another modification. When he lives in a village his mind is modified by the pull of the common
46 HIS THOUGHTS A D OURS book i soul of that village. When he goes up to the town the larger environment again affects him visibly if not consciously. All this has been proved so often that it needs repetition here only in order to observe that a body of men forming a church must come under the same psychological laws as govern the same men in other aggregates. Further, it is not necessary that men should visibly herd together to experience the corporate
influence. There is abundant evidence that there is a force which causes one man to think as his neighbour thinks, divided though they be by the walls of their separate houses or by miles of intervening country, without conscious communication, and without access to the same visible sources of influence, — a force as invisible but as certainly operative as gravitation. We know that every stone lying on a tract of land many miles in extent exercises a certain attraction for every other stone. We do not dispute this physical law, even though we only see the effect of its operation in certain exaggerated conditions — as, for example, when near a high mass of rock, the plumb-line hangs aslant. The present writer knows a case of a woman who very frequently awoke on Sunday morning repeating to herself certain formulas of prayer. They were not familiar to her, and were never alike two Sundays in succession. After some time she discovered that they were scraps from the Anglican collect for the day. It is true that she must have heard the collects, though she had never studied them; but she certainly had no knowledge at all of their order in the Christian year. We cannot
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH 47 reasonably doubt that if the actual words of the many could thus upon rare occasion press into the consciousness of one without visible communication, the mental inclination of the many behind the words would have a much commoner, if still more subtle, effect upon the one. The forces which govern man's corporate life are those which work chiefly upon the latent powers of his being. 1 We are only beginning to discern them. Take, for example, the fact that it is easy to teach an ignorant child of ignorant parents to-day some conception current in our decade which the most brilliant men a century ago only grasped with effort. Is telepathy the cause of this ? contagion of thought or feeling ? suggestibility ? These are words of which the connotation is as yet imperfect, although by the
realities which they denote we all live. The strength of a corporate movement among men may be terrible for good or evil, but that strength is commonly dissipated by the counter pull of other corporate movements. Thus, a man who is 1 "What can be more complicated, more logical, more marvellous than a language ? Yet whence can this admirably organised production have arisen, except it be the outcome of the unconscious genius of crowds ? The most learned scholars, the most esteemed grammarians can do no more than note down the laws that govern languages; they would be utterly incapable of creating them. Even with respect to the ideas of great men, are we certain that they are exclusively the offspring of their brains ? o doubt such ideas are always created by solitary minds, but is it not the genius of crowds that has furnished the thousands of grains of dust forming the soil in which they have sprung up ?" — The Crowd, by Gustave Le Bon, p. 9.
48 HIS THOUGHTS A D OURS book i a Freemason, a Churchman, a citizen, feels the pull of each communion; and in so far as the interests of each are different, he must not only be weaker in each but must weaken each. It is only in so far as the pull of each is good and identical with the pull of the others, that the individual can realise the whole strength of his personality, can "possess his soul." The man we have instanced cannot obey the counsels of perfection in the Church unless he is also obeying them in the State and in all other relationships. He cannot, as a Christian, act in obedience to the Sermon on the Mount, and at the same time, as a citizen, follow a contradictory code. Moral obliquity, intellectual dulness, is the inevitable result of the effort. The laws which God has made to govern mind are as certain in their operation as those he has made to govern matter. A plumb-line will not hang true plumb near a mountain; the attraction of the mountain interferes with the attraction of the earth. A man's Christian life cannot be true to the demand of Jesus if, not only his own civic life, but that of his fellows, is a deflecting mass.
We thus see that probably there is no such thing as absolutely independent thought or feeling; nor can we admit the recent theorv of some psychologists that the more independent the thought, the higher its level. Although the diseases of the corporate life, i.e., mental epidemics, 1 certainly show an abnormal dependence of one 1 The following list of such epidemics is given in The Psychology of Suggestion by Boris Sidis : — Pilgrimage epidemic, 1000-1095.
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH 49 mind on another as their most prominent symptom, this does not prove the highest degree of mental independence to be the highest degree of mental health; as well say because men cannot live in a tropical sun that they would have the best health in the lowest temperature. The stern moralist is perhaps the highest instance of independent thought; the genius is perhaps the highest product of sympathy with the world-mind. If there is an invisible bond of union between thoughts of saint and sinner, of Church and world, of class and class, of nation and nation, the Church can only be saved in the degree in which she saves the whole world. The whole race is corporate. A mental epidemic does not strike the Christian with one folly and the worldling with another. Out they go together, Christian and worldling, to dance the tarantella, to burn witches, to murder Jews, to invest in financial bubbles, to march to every war at the sound of trumpet and drum.

5 o HIS THOUGHTS A D OURS Likewise, every good movement by which the race has increased its power of compassion and practice of justice has been corporate. Slowly, surely, healthily, the racial mind has moved, permitting the same ideas to be brought to birth often at the same time in lands and societies visibly separated one from another. Legislation — which means public opinion — on behalf of the debtor, the vanquished, the woman, the child, the slave, the beast, has extended in ways that man's conscious political agitations only half explain. When we compare the religions, the ethics, the art, and science, of many and most diverse nations, beneath the differences that arrest the shallow and lead the reverent to look deeper, we find likenesses that can hardly be explained except by the great fact of corporate unity. Within Christendom progressive movements affect alike baptized and unbaptized. Compassion for the oppressed, passion to discover truth — these, whatever local and temporary aspect they assume, infect mind after mind without any distinction of creed. Therefore, since every man is liable to the infection of his neighbour's ideas, be they good or bad, wise or mad, the Church can only have a perfect faith when she has converted the world to a perfect faith ; and her degree of faith in any place and time will depend on the convictions she is evoking in her environment. The "serious man" did not say to Wesley, "You must not serve God alone"; he said, "You cannot"; and the psychology of the corporate mind bears out the non possumus for each one of us. Jesus strictly enjoined upon every
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH 5 i disciple resignation to such suffering as has a directly saving effect upon the world — the bearing of reproach and tyranny in the spirit of love. He does not say that men who will not endure this redemptive pain must not count themselves his disciples; he says they cannot be his disciples. It is not possible, even to God, to give salvation to a man who is not ready in his degree to be a saviour. All his plan for the kingdom shows that Jesus knewthat individual faith is dependent on corporate faith. He gave a glad, almost a surprised, welcome, to every sign of individual faith, without criticism of its lack, and levelled constant reproach against the nation, the generation, and the religious classes of his time for lack of faith. If faith in God is the highest exercise of personal power, all history shows that the field of personal power is the corporate life. When the corporate life is at its highest, and the individual is most closely allied to it, his individuality is at its strongest and his personal powers performing their highest functions. Thus we have seen that the faith of every individual is dependent upon the faith of his fellows, more dependent on the faith of those with whom he is in more intimate relation, but also in some degree dependent upon the corporate faith of the whole environment. The question of how far the human will is determined is not a question simply of how the sequence of states is governed in a man's own mind. If he could enter the arena of life without an ancestry, with complete will and intelligence, without a personal past, his mental condition would still be determined each moment
52 HIS THOUGHTS A D OURS book i more or less by the mental condition of every man who treads the earth with him. We have seen that the oftener a man herds with the same crowd, the less he can resist its influence; but unless he
lives, sleeps, eats, and works with it, its influence must be greatly modified by the pull of every other relation of his life. The psychic law which governs him is that even when he thinks he girds himself and goes whither he will, another is always girding him and carrying him whither he will not. The laws of this involuntary brotherhood have, of course, lent themselves to every organisation by which men have thought to create brotherhood. Unless the race were a unity, no monastic order, no army, no family, no nation, no empire, could hold together. The thrill of patriotism or imperial spirit which passes from man to man, the sense of kinship between children that have played around one hearth, these have been evidences of the inner brotherhood of men too strong to escape notice, and are the forces that have been utilised in every organisation. Such bodies as had any particular object have used a partial sense of brotherhood for a partial end, and attained success; but organisations which have Christianity for their nexus have an interest in which all men share, a purpose which embraces every man. They have appeared to fail; perhaps because they have not sufficiently recognised that man's religious brotherhood is essentially and intrinsically universal. It is universal, whether he desires it or not, and a limiting organisation must be more or less false to the truth of this, and, although it gain its whole
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH 53 force from the brotherhood of man, must run counter to its essential religious aspect. If, for example, we have a certain sectional community in a certain town, the sect adheres by the natural laws which govern corporate life. Usually every member holds the doctrines of the sect more strongly the more he herds with its other members, and the more he endeavours to isolate himself from the larger interests of the town. Unless the isolation is complete, unless he live entirely with the brethren of the order, the full influence of the sect unit on the individual
unit is not realised. Let us see to what this leads us. If the sect taught the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, if the ideal life could be lived without relation to the outer world, its organisation would then be the best training, sphere, and home for the individual. But what is the result in any organisation which has realised such complete union in isolation as, for example, some monastic orders ? We are all ready to admit that the result is not the realisation by its members of the whole truth or the ideal life. At its best it may be admitted to be something which has its niche in the larger brotherhood and the more universal ideal, but nothing more. o one, not even an advocate of such an order, will contend that it is more than this at its best. At its worst, it is a pest-house of mental freaks. Thus we see that a limited union and isolation at their highest in a religious body do not produce the best type of religious brotherhood. Let us inquire what light this throws on any
54 HIS THOUGHTS A D OURS book i association involving some degree of union and of isolation. It proves, at least, that some relations with the outer world are necessary for religious development. The general view of the Church is that she must maintain relations with the world if only because she must exert missionary and charitable activities. She has not, however, evinced much interest in learning from the larger sanity of the greater number. She has conceived of her relation toward the world as that of teacher only. She has sought to restrict, as far as possible, her sense of companionship with the world to a sense of the world's need and the effort to supply it. Christian literature, written for those who meet the world in their various avocations, has gone to emphasise this attitude. Here we have a theory of life false to fact. The missioner, preaching to congregations of heathen or worldlings, the monk ministering to companies of vagrants, the devout lady taking her dutiful part in court or ball-room,
all these return to their cloister or closet refreshed and made free from their morbid tendencies, not so much by their own activities as by mere contact with a fresh and wide mental atmosphere. As they stood face to face with men and women from the boisterous outer world, deep answered unto deep in their souls. Without volition, below consciousness, the laws of the universal brotherhood which God created and Jesus blessed worked to give them as much as they could receive of the strength of the universal mind. That the lives of devout Christians are not regulated by the desire to obtain all that the
chap, v CORPORATE FAITH 55 brotherhood of man has to give would appear to be a matter of great moment, not only because their theory puts the best of them as far as possible out of reach of the benefit of the race-soul which they ought constantly to receive, but because this theory puts the Christian out of harmony with the demand of Jesus, whose example and whose precepts are in absolute accord with the universal religious brotherhood of man. To sum up. The laws of corporate life form an invisible and universal bond, and complete independence of individual faith is impossible; complete independence of sectional religious life is equally impossible. The corporate life of faith must fall under the same laws as govern all corporate life.

Just stopped last week. She kept breaking out in the middle of the night. I switched to a sleep sack...we went cold turkey on the swaddle. She's been doing great! The first night it took her about 20 min to get to sleep but other than that it's been fine. Much better than I expected!
Posted 11/21/2012
Yup. Lo sleeps 12 hours straight through the night so im not stopping any time soon. Swaddled my oldest until 10 mos. he loved it and slept 13 hrs at night. He never had sleep issues with doung it so long and still sleeps great. Whatever gets them to sleep the longest is fine with me.
