1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to relatively-rigid composite materials which are extremely heat-resistant, and methods of making same, which materials comprise a fibrous substrate having a continuous layer or coating of solid film lubricant or glass release agent which essentially comprises an organic/inorganic silicone resin having a finely-ground particulate filler therein. The layer or coating is formed by taking an organopolysiloxane resin or mixture of such resins in a solvent, and dispersing a prescribed amount of finely-ground graphite-containing material therein, the combined materials being applied to and heat cured on a woven fibrous substrate comprised of a heat-resistant material such as glass fibers, or similar high-temperature resistant fibrous substrate. The selected substrate in the form of a lengthy tape or ribbon, after coating, may be severed into precisely-sized and shaped contours, preferably subsequent to heat-curing the resin containing the filler material.
The composite material may be fabricated into coverings for sweep-out arms, pusher bars, curved-chain transfer mechanisms, and the like, for handling newly-formed, hot glass articles without marring their surfaces or creating objectionable emissions from the composite material due to excessive heat. The coating cures into a thermoset hardened condition fully dispersed through the fabric substrate, the substrate then being attached to a rigid metallic backing member for structural strength. Normally, the fibrous substrate, while possessing an appreciable amount of heat resistance, cannot be employed alone without a suitable heat-resistant coating for long-term, repeated handling of hot glass articles.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It has been commmon practice in the glass forming art to fabricate or cover conveyor belting and hot glass transfer mechanisms for transporting hot glass articles with asbestos or asbestos-containing materials such as transite to provide heatresistant surfaces which would not mar the glass and provide long-term operating life. Also, bucket liners and sweep-out arms have previously been fabricated with coverings of asbestos cloth for handling hot glass articles. Asbestos tapes have been used previously which are riveted to rigid backing members and then cut to shape dependent upon individual applications. It is desirable to eliminate the use of all asbestos in hot glass handling operations.
In the production of glassware, certain handling equipment has also been coated with graphite and petroleum oil swabbing compositions to provide lubricity and heat-resistance. In the use of such coatings, when the petroleum fraction flashes off, it can detract from effective lubrication during forming and emit undesirable emissions into the atmosphere.
The use of water-based carriers instead of the petroleum oil carriers for graphite and other lubricious materials have not been entirely satisfactory, primarily due to the high heat of vaporization of water and the resulting excessive cooling of the glass-handling equipment. It addition, it is difficult to controllably wet the handling equipment surface with water-based materials which are applied intermittently during production of glassware.
High temperature fabrics based on inorganic fibers such as glass, silica, quarts, and ceramics, have been proposed as replacement materials for asbestos for handling hot glass articles up to 1000� F. (538� C.). In glass manufacturing operations, such fabrics do not normally stand up well in repeated contact with hot glass articles because of their low resistance to abrasion. In the manufacture of glass fiber, for example, chemical treatments (sizings) such as acrylic resin or starch are used to reduce abrasive contact and fiber breakage during processing. These are organic and burn off in a high temperature environment such as in handling hot glass articles resulting in surface abrasion at the product/fabric interface and also within the fabric. Fabrics based on inorganic fibers exhibit the necessary heat resistance for hot glass handling; however, such materials require a combination with high temperature solid lubricant coating technology to be functional. This has been accomplished by the present invention and coated glass fabrics have been developed which exhibit an acceptable service life in handling hot glass articles such as by conveyor ware transfer mechanisms.
The present invention comprises a composite material including a cured, thermoset, organopolysiloxane resin containing a filler of heat-resistant particulate material which is applied over a tightly-woven, thick fabric comprised of thin glass fibers. The invention relates to generally rigid composite material which is extremely heat-resistant, and methods of making same, which material has at least one continuous layer or coating of solid film lubricant or glass release agent which essentially comprises an organopolysiloxane resin having a major portion of a finely-ground, graphite-containing particulate filler therein. The combined coating constituents are applied over and through a lengthy woven fibrous substrate composed of glass fiber tape, tubing, and the like, and heat-cured thereon. The tape substrate may be preliminarily severed into precisely-sized and shaped lineal lengths prior to applying the coating and heat-curing the resin containing the filler material for its use as a covering over another rigid surface. The layer or coating composition is formed of a solid film lubricant which essentially comprises a finely-divided, heatresistant filler dispersed in a silicone resin-alcohol solution. The layer or coating is formed by introducing the dispersion of a fine graphite and carbon-containing filler into an organic solution of a curable, thermosettable, organopolysiloxane resin which is applied over and through the woven glass fiber cloth substrate, and then the organopolysiloxane resin is cured into a thermoset hardened condition.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved hot glass handling impregnated tape material.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a composite material which provides long-term effectiveness in repeated contact with newly-formed hot glass articles in the form of an impregnated fiber glass tape.
Another object of the present invention is to provide improved hot glass handling capability to existing hot glass handling devices, and the like, by providing a relatively-rigid heat-resistant fibrous glass tape with a continuous graphitefilled organopolysiloxane resin coating therethrough adapted to cover the glass contacting surfaces of such equipment.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of making a high-heat-resistant glass fiber tape which is capable of repeated contact with hot glass articles over an extensive period without deterioration of the material or deleterious marking of the glass articles.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a heat and wear-resistant woven fabric substrate having a continuous coating of silicone resin and finely-divided graphite and carbon filler thereon in cured thermoset hardened condition adapted to long-term serial handling of newly-formed hot glass articles.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of lengthy impregnated glass fiber tape for handling hot glass articles.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of lengthy impregnated glass fiber tubing for the same purpose.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the glass fiber tape shown in FIG. 1.
The base material upon which the combined coating composition is applied is preferably comprised of glass fiber tape or tubing, which is commercially manufactured and sold under the trademark "Textoglass", by the J. P. Stevens & Co., Inc. Industrial Fabrics Dept., New York, N. Y. Such glass fiber tape is commonly fabricated in a variety of widths and made into a variety of special industrial products exhibiting high modulus of rupture. Among the more significant characteristics of glass fiber tape or tubing are high tensile strength resistance to combustion and flame retardancy, resistance to stretch, and good surface abrasion resistance. The material is useful over a wide range of temperatures without deterioration or degradation and has a thermal conductivity generally similar to asbestos fibers.
A preferred form of the tape material is J. P. Stevens Style No. 1906, Finish No. 9383, which is a twill weave. This material is made from 0.00018 inch diameter glass fibers, has a weight of 26.5 ounces per square yard, and a thickness of 0.045 inch. The minimum average breaking strength in pounds per inch of width is 430 warp and 230 fill. The glass fibers can be employed to weave thick fibrous tape up to about 12 inches in width which may be used as conveyor belting covering for hot glass transfer mechanisms, and insulating cloth or pads. The material possesses very good thermal resistance, as well as excellent chemical resistance to most common chemicals. Glass tape based on a "C" filament having 0.00018 inch diameter is preferred for reasons of this diameter being safer from the standpoint of skin sensitivity problems. The material may be a tape or tubing having the aforesaid physical properties. Generally, similar tape and tubing materials can be obtained from Carolina Narrow Fabrics Co., Winston-Salem, N.C.
The glass fibers can be woven into tightly, interwoven tape or tubing having a thickness of less than about 1/4 inch. Various thicknesses of the glass fiber tape can be employed as the substrate, the tubing having a lesser thickness. Other materials can be employed as the substrate so long as they possess high temperature resistance to degradation and can be fabricated into interwoven fibrous tape or tubing. Among such other materials which may be used as the flexible substrate are ceramic fiber tape or tubing, such as manufactured by the Carborundum Company, and carbon fabric manufactured by American Kynol, Inc., all of which are comprised of high-temperature resistant fibers or yarn adapted to be fabricated into tape or tubing.
The carbon tape or tubing is essentially a phenolic fiber, known as carbonized Kynol, or Kynol novoloid precurser fiber, which is formed by formaldehyde curing of melt-spun novolac resin. Curing results in the formation of methylol groups, dimethyl ether bonds, and methylene bonds, and because of its three dimensionally cross-lined structure, the fiber thus obtained is infusible. The fiber is capable of being carbonized directly, without the need for intermediate infusibility treatment.
The ceramic fiber tape or tubing may be comprised of Fiberfrax ceramic fiber which in textile form contains 15 to 25% organic fiber added during the carding process to produce roving. Such textiles have superior insulating ability to 2300� F. (1260� C.), and excellent resistance to thermal shock, corrosive attack, and breakdown due to mechanical fibration and stress. They are available from the Carborundum Company. The materials can be double woven to provide exceptional strength and be heattreated to remove all organics.
The glass fiber tape or tubing is easily able to withstand temperatures as high as 1200� F. (650� C.). Such material in fabric form is able to maintain high tensile strength while resisting thermal shock and abrasion. Such fibers are composed of borosilicate glass and offer much better dimensional stability than amorphous silica fibers.
A preferred example of the coating composition which may be employed to coat the woven glass fiber substrate with a heat and wear-resistant layer to be contacted by the hot glass consists of the following constituents:
______________________________________ PRE- FERREDRANGE AMOUNT(Parts (Parts COM-by Weight) by weight) PONENT CONSTITUENT______________________________________50 to 60 50 (A) Polysiloxane Glass Resin Polymer - O-I PRODUCT No. T-950 Regular40 to 50 50 (B) Low Molecular Weight Alcohol 5 to 15 5 (C) Finely-divided Graphite Union Carbide Product No. 38 5 to 15 5 (D) Barnebey-Cheney XZ Grade Activated Charcoal______________________________________
The coating composition is a dispersion of finelydivided graphite and activated charcoal in a silicone resinalcohol solution.
The Owens-Illinois Glass Resin Polymer, Product No. T-950 Regular, Component (A), is an organopolysiloxane resin designed for high temperature laminating applications which require considerable retained flexural and impact strength when the laminate is exposed to elevated temperatures for a prolonged period of time. The subject organopolysiloxane resin is a 100% trifunctional polyphenyl organosiloxane produced by the co-hydrolysis and co-condensation of different alkoxysiloxanes employing the steps of: (a) heating the reaction mixture to form a partial condensation product, (b) concentrating this product, (c) precuring the concentrated product, and (d) finally curing the precured product. The resins are useful as machinable, heat-resistant, thermoset bodies, or as coatings. Generally similar resins and processes of making same are disclosed and claimed by U.S. Pat. No. 3,389,121 to Burzynski and Martin, issued June 18, 1968, assigned to the same common assignee as the present invention.
The following properties are typical of Owens-Illinois Glass Resin No. T-950 Regular:
______________________________________Physical Form Solid-FlakeSolid Content 100%Softening Point 70�-80� C.Flash Point -Closed Cup 170� C.Shelf Life Minimum 6 mos. at room temperature______________________________________
The flake resin is fully soluble in the following solvents: Benzene, xylene, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, diethyl ether, ethanol, chloroform, and ethylenedichloride.
Product No. T-950 Regular flake can be incorporated into most conventional molding compounds including silicones, polyesters, epoxies, or mixtures of these materials. 950 flake is incorporated into molding compounds by using conventional wet blending, dry blending, or milling techniques. It is normally added at a 5-20% by weight ratio; however, some applications have utilized as much as 30-40% of the flake. The resin is primarily comprised of phenyl silicone groups.
The low molecular weight alcohol, Component (B), is a lower alcohol such as ethanol, isopropanol or butanol, with ethanol being preferred.
Dry particulate graphite is intimately combined with the organopolysiloxane resin and alcohol to form a dispersion of lubricant filler material therein. The weight ratio of the graphite to the organopolysiloxane resin solids in forming the dispersion is preferably on the order of about 1 to 3 to about 1 to 10. A weight percentage of about 4.5 percent is most beneficial. Where greater lubricity is desired in the final cured coating, a higher ratio of graphite to organopolysiloxane resin solids is used, the graphite serving as a lubricant. In some cases of the aforesaid example where higher lubricity is desired, up to 25% graphite may be employed. A particularly useful graphite, Component (C) employed in the subject coating consists of Union Carbide Product No. 38, manufactured and sold by Union Carbide Chemical Company. In general, such graphite is described as electic furnace, or synthetic, graphite having a particle size ranging from 44 to 70 microns.
Component (D) which is a filler material comprises an activated charcoal in particulate form, one desirable product being XZ grade activated charcoal which is available from Barnebey-Cheney Company, Columbus, Ohio. Such product has a particulate size of essentially all passing through 325 U. S. mesh. The combined material has fine particle size and heat-resistance which can more effectively coat the very fine diameter glass fibers (0.00018 inch). The fine graphite serves a lubricant purpose and the charcoal serves a structural purpose. Glass fabrics frequently exhibit very poor abrasion resistance and must be coated to reduce friction and develop wear-resistance if they are to be functional in high temperature applications.
The silicone resin is used as a high temperature binder phase for the dispersed graphite and activated charcoal. A low solids in alcohol solution (50 percent by weight) is used to develop a reasonably-rigid coating, one which can slightly flex under impact abuse with hot glass which is at about 900� F. in temperature. The high temperature silicone resin encapsulates the glass fabric and in combination with the graphite and charcoal lubricant provides a solid lubricant-glass release structure which is functional under repeated impact cycles when contacted by hot glass articles.
The above-described coating composition is applied over the full width and length of fibrous tape or tubing substrate in the form of a continuous imperforate layer by various techniques, such as brushing, spraying or dipping. Preferably, the coating is applied over both surfaces of the substrate to obtain a full impregnation of the fabric. The coating on the substrate is cured by heating in an air-circulating oven for about one hour at 500� F. to 600� F. (260� C. to 315� C.) with the higher limit being preferred. Following such curing, the coating is very adherent to the substrate and fully penetrates the pores and interstices of the fabric, making it relatively rigid. In the case where organic processing aids are used on the fabric, or on the yarn or roving for making the fabric, the organic coating on the fibers of the fabric from their manufacture must be burned off prior to coating as aforesaid. The fabric exhibits a relatively-greater stiffness when the coating is cured on heating to a hardened thermoset condition. The woven fabric tape or tubing can be cut to shape, assembled and coated, or the coated fabric tape can be cut to the shape of a backing member.
The glass fiber tape 10 is shown in FIG. 1 of the drawing having a lengthy configuration. Glass fiber tubing 11 is shown in FIG. 2 having lengthy configuration. The fibrous tape of glass fiber cloth has a width of about 3 to 4 inches. Both the tape and the tubing are formed in great length in roll form, permitting them to be cut to desired length before or after coating.
The coated fabric tape or tubing is usuallly attached to a rigid base plate, such as a cast steel plate used for handling newly-formed glassware. The coated fabric on the base plate in the form of a cushioning pad serves to protect the hot glassware against defects and as a glass release agent. The exterior surface of the coating on the fabric provides good lubricity with low friction and excellent heat-resistance for repeated direct contact with hot glass. The pad is able to support or contact hot glass articles without marring or marking of the glass surfaces, and without any pick-up of residue which might deleteriously affect the appearance or structural strength of the articles. The coated tape in the form of a pad can be riveted or adhesively bonded to the rigid backing plate. The coated tubing can be telescoped over a steel rod or bar to provide a guide member for hot glass articles. The coating is fully cured into solidified thermoset condition and has no tackiness to detract from its usefulness over a wide range of high-temperature applications. The polysiloxane resin and carbonaceous filler constituents of the coating on curing are essentially solventless and do not emit vaporized solvents or create any other emissions on use.
The method may be practiced as follows: The coating is applied, such as by brushing or dipping, in sufficient amount to fully penetrate the complete thickness and interstices of the cloth. The coating is then cured by heating within the stated range of 500� F. to 600� F. for a period of about one to two hours. The resulting relative stiffness of the laminated tape may then be broken as desired by bending the tape to fit the contour of the backing plate. As stated, it is normally attached thereto by riveting or with a high-temperature adhesive. When so attached, the pad must be able to provide a cushioning effect for the glassware without evidencing physical damage.
Various modifications may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Playing With Numbers: The power of patience
What's wrong with Derek Jeter? That's a question I heard a lot as April turned into May and the Yankee veteran's home run total remained a goose egg. Certainly, Jeter never will be confused with Ruth, Mantle or Maris in the power department, but he always has been good for double-digit home runs throughout his career. Jeter has hit a pair of home runs in the past two weeks to make his projected line look a lot better, but he's still not exactly tearing the cover off the ball. Is there something that we can look to in his statistics that jumps out as a potential cause for his early-season home run struggles? Let's take a look at some numbers.

Today's share day is for the Star Trek fans. (You don't have to be a fan to share) Here we go, I just read that there will be Klingons in the new Star Trek Movie. So today let's talk Klingon.(Not in Klingon, because most of you know I have a hard enough time with English) What do you really think happen to the Klingons of the original show? I think that they were genetically altered Klingons, made to look more human in order to infiltrate the Federation. As you know, it didn't work. They were then sent to another planet to live out their lives as outcast, because they failed. This planet was later destroyed to forever hide the truth. Sounds good to me, does anyone else have any idea what happen to them?

EDMOND — Former All-American Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested Wednesday evening on a marijuana possession complaint.
Former Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon arrested on marijuana possession complaint
Police found a marijuana blunt weighing three grams in a cigar box inside a car Blackmon was driving following a traffic stop, according to an Edmond police report.
The arrest is the latest in a series of missteps for the Jacksonville Jaguars wideout, who is currently on indefinite suspension from the NFL. However, according to a social media report from jaguars.com senior writer John Oehser, team owner Shad Kahn does not plan on cutting Blackmon from the team.
About 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at W Edmond Rd. and S Kelly Ave., police initiated a traffic stop when Blackmon made an improper left-hand lane change across a solid center line.
When an officer approached Blackmon, he smelled a strong odor of marijuana in the car. Blackmon then admitted to smoking while driving the vehicle, the report states.
Blackmon was "extremely honest and cooperative" as police booked him into Edmond City jail, the report states. He was later released on $657 bond, police spokeswoman Jennifer Monroe said.
Wednesday's arrest marks Blackmon's third run in with the law in the past four years.

A total of six $1,000 scholarships are available to one graduating senior selected from each high school in Manteca Unified School District (Sierra, Calla, Manteca, East Union, Weston Ranch and New Vision High Schools).
Is Manteca in a position to hire up to four police officers in the next two years thanks to Measure M sales tax as well as possibly save three firefighting jobs?
Manteca's jobless rate was unchanged at 16.1 percent for the third straight month in March.
A trip down memory lane for Kevin Terpstra usually involves some sort of fire suit.

Google says it has launched a new health company, called Calico, that will focus on aging and related diseases.
The internet search giant said Wednesday that the company will be headed by Arthur Levinson, the current chairman and former CEO of biotechnology company Genentech and the chairman of Apple Inc. He will stay in his current positions.
Google Inc. CEO Larry Page says on his Google Plus page that shareholders shouldn't be surprised if Google invests in projects that seem "strange or speculative" compared with its internet businesses. He says Google sees potential for technology "more generally to improve people's lives."
Google is not giving much detail on Calico. The company says the venture is still in its early days.

Andrew Hawkins, WR, Browns
|NFL Team
|4 years
2014 Outlook: Super Sleeper (high risk/potential)Last updated on Jul-26-2014 by Rob Warner
Hawkins signed a four-year, $13.6 million contract this offseason after spending his first three seasons with the Bengals. In that time, the Toledo product totaled just 995 receiving yards (86 catches) and four touchdowns over 35 games. He is an undersized (5-foot-7, 180 lbs.) 28-year-old wideout, but could surprise with limited talent ahead of him on the depth chart. Hawkins' injury history is concerning as he has missed 13 games over his brief career. He has been starring in OTAs and that just might translate to success on Sunday. His ADP (177.10) limits him to being a late-round flier.
Latest Update
Josh Gordon is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He was the most productive WR in fantasy last season. He is the Browns' best offensive weapon by far, and he will be making his season debut today versus the Falcons as his 10-game suspension has ended. But if you believe ESPN's Adam Schefter and his sources, Gordon's talents won't be unleashed to the fullest extent this afternoon. Schefter tweeted this morning that a league source has told him Gordon is expected to be on the field for only 20-30 plays in Atlanta.Fantasy Analysis:
The Browns can give us the sense that they will be cautious with Gordon due to concerns over his conditioning or football shape -- he had not done any football activities with the team for almost three months before this week. But the Browns are in a (ahem) dog fight in the AFC North. They are technically in last place but are just a half of a game out of first at 6-4. Every game is critical for the Browns at this point, and I scoff at the notion that they will just ride with Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel when they've got a stallion in the barn waiting for the reins to be taken off.
When Gordon returned from his two-game suspension in Week 3 last season, he played 70 of the team's 73 offensive snaps. He caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a score. He added a 22-yard rush for good measure. I know two weeks do not equal three months away from the football field, but there have been no reports stating that Gordon is out of shape. I'd be shocked if he played fewer than 30 snaps against a very vulnerable Falcons defense. And even if that is true, you can bet Brian Hoyer will be looking for his All-Pro receiver whenever he is on the field. I think Gordon is a top-20 fantasy wideout today, an easy WR2 in all leagues.

2014 Mock Draft Results
FFToolbox Mock Draft July 21
|FFToolbox - Scott - My swing for the fences, "Are you a Wes Welker hiding in there?" pick. Hawkins is the most exciting WR of the Browns bunch right now, in a group that includes both Miles Austin and FFT Friend Nate Burleson. With Josh Gordon likely gone for the season, other than Cameron, the cupboard is bare. I could see Hawkins getting a nice amount of work.
FFToolbox Mock Draft July 14
July 14, 2014
|#5 World Ranked - Hawkins has looked great in OTA's and someone has to catch the ball in Cleveland. He's a good fit for the offense and can be a useful flex player.

Metalsmith Benchtalk with Jewelry Artist Noël Yovovich
in Art
Our guest on Metalsmith Benchtalk on Thursday, November 20th, 2014 at 3:00 PST/ 6:00 EST is jewelry artist Noël Yovovich, a 2013 Saul Bell Award Finalist.Please join us for this live broadcast and participate by logging into the chatroom or by sending a message to the Whaley Studio's Facebook Page.
About: Noel Yovovich lives and works in Evanston, Illinois, but draws much of her inspiration from her childhood in rural Florida. The locale was popular as an over-winter and retirement spot for traveling circus and carney performers. This colorful beginning was followed by study culminating in a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Chicago, and the professional pursuit of art ever since. Landscapes and intimate still-lives predominate in intricate jewelry, much of which uses carefully-controlled anodization of titanium, combined with sterling silver, plus gold, copper, and/or stones, to produce works with surprising detail and illusion of depth. Noël Yovovich has taught teens and adults for many years at the Evanston Art Center as well as the Bead & Button Show, BeadFests, and schools around the country. President of the Chicago Metal Arts Guild, contributing editor of Art Jewelry Magazine and Lapidary Journal/ Jewelry Artist Magazine.

In the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith says at the end "It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it."Well, no offence,Thomas Jefferson and Will Smith - but I beg to differ. We don't have to delay our happiness. We can be happy right now if we choose to be. Happiness is not a destination... it's a way of life! So, if you're feeling stuck, here are 14 ways to inspire you how to live a happy life.1. Remember, you only have one lifeYou have one chance to create a beautiful and fulfilling life. Don't waste all the precious time you have been given. Instead, use it to make a difference, not just your own life, but others' lives as well.2. Love and accept yourself as you areTake care of yourself and do things for you and not to impress other people. Remember, you are unique. We all have flaws but it's what makes you special! Pay more attention to the good things about you, use your talents and be true to yourself.3. Always look on the bright sideThink positive! It's easy to be negative, I know, but the effort you make now to become a more positive person will pay off dividends and make a huge difference in your life experience.4. Don't be jealous, be inspired!Stop comparing yourself to others. Remember it's all relative - you don't know their journey, so why feel the need to be controlled by it? Celebrate others' happiness, it's way better to feel happy for someone than to be bitter about it. The energy and brain space it takes to be jealous is simply not worth it.5. Don't take yourself so seriouslyJust go with the flow. Take it easy. Let things be. The Universe has plans for all of us and it's up to us to trust that it will unfold as it is meant to. Remember to laugh at yourself every now and then. If you feel offended by something someone said, remind yourself that offence cannot be given, only taken. So don't take offence, don't take it so seriously - after all, it's just one person's opinion. Let it go and move on.6. Fake it till you make it!When it comes to positivity, it's okay to fake a smile until you are really smiling from the inside! No one likes a "Betty Bad luck" - keep smiling and you will attract more happiness into your life. It takes less muscles to smile than to frown, and haven't you noticed the people who smile a lot look a lot younger than they actually are?7. Find a hobby or dream - do something you loveWorking towards your future, and pursuing your dreams and goals is a powerful way to keep you going in the present. It's a great way to become your own person and merely take a time out for yourself!Don't be too concerned about your achievements right now, just keep your eye on your goal. Remember, it's all about consistent persistence, taking baby steps in the right direction.8. Be gratefulThis is a surefire way to remind yourself how lucky you are. Count your blessings and you will receive more! When something good happens in your life, no matter how small - always remember to say "Thank You".9. Stop worrying so muchEverything will be okay. Everything is okay right now, isn't it? Why worry about things that haven't happened yet, or things that have already happened? All that matters is what's happening right now. Know that you have the power to change how you feel and deal with situations in your life.10. Find true friendsFind the ones you don't need to impress all the time. It can be very tiring to keep up with friends you don't like. Find ones who love you and accept you for who you are, not what you have or what you do.11. Take time out – me-timeSometimes it's okay to be selfish. After all, it starts with you, doesn't it? If you are not happy, how can you expect to make others happy? Do something you love - take time out. When you're in a relationship, don't ever be afraid to ask for me-time.12. Don't be afraid to take responsibilityWhen you take responsibility for things - even the things that go wrong, it can be a real relief, a weight off your shoulders. Not only that, but people will respect you, and even trust you, more. There's something endearing about someone who can admit when they are wrong. So go on, swallow your pride and be the bigger person.13. Be kindThe fastest way to feel better about yourself is to be kind to others, to nature, to all creatures! Be of service, help others in need and trust me, it's the greatest reward you could give yourself. There is no greater feeling than helping another being. It's the most self-less "selfish" act you can do.14. Don't lose your inner childReflect and remember what you loved doing as a child and find a way to incorporate it into your life. When you look at a child, notice how they perform those activities and play with their 100%. Give your 100% in everything you do too!About Raylene SamuelsMy name is Raylene Harvey and I am the founder of inspirational website http://www.hapicup.com.

Scout.com Player of the Week: Evan Longoria
Tampa Bay third baseman takes home second Scout.com Player of the Week award as the regular season…
|Scout.com Player of the Week: Evan Longoria
Evan Longoria helps fuel the Tampa Bay Rays' five-game winning streak with a hitting tear of his own en route to Scout.com Player of the Week honors.
Going on a seven-game hitting streak doesn't assure a given player the Scout.com Player of the Week award, but it sure helps. Just ask Evan Longoria.
The Tampa Bay Rays third baseman has actually hit safely in nine of his last 10, but from May 6 through Mothers Day, the sixth-year infielder was particularly tough to get out, going 13-for-28 with eight runs scored, five doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI -- nearly half of his season total of 26, and the most among all Major Leaguers over the past seven days.
Before last week, Longoria was hitting a solid .301, but after his tear, he's now hitting a robust .333. He also increased his on-base percentage by a full .037 points to .403 and ratcheted his OPS up from .892 to 1.012. In fact, Longoria's 1.496 OPS and .964 slugging percentage over the week paced all big leaguers, as did his 27 total bases. His .531 OBP was tied for fourth and his .464 batting average was tied for fifth.
Longoria went 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position over the last seven days, socking one home run and one double while driving in seven of his 11 RBI in those situations.
During the past week, Longoria's Rays ripped off five straight wins after two close losses at home to Toronto, with Longoria scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 10th on May 9, starting a two-run rally in the bottom of the third on May 10 against San Diego that kicked off a 6-3 comeback win and socked a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth the very next day in an 8-7 victory.
