Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, whilst perhaps not being one of America's greatest poets, was in her time one of the most popular, her verse appearing in innumerable magazines and periodicals as well as a number of books. She has probably been read by many more people than poets who have been considered her superiors. Whilst not all her poems are, of course, New Thought in outlook, in one of her books, Poems of Power, a dozen or more of her poems may be discerned typical of New Thought ideas and emphases.
However, it was probably as regular contributor to newspapers that Ella Wheeler Wilcox reached her widest public, for she wrote syndicated articles for the Hearst newspapers. Many of these were simply expositions of the central teachings of New Thought, though not definitely linked with that minority point of view. Thus New Thought ideas found an outlet to the public they could never have gotten through specifically New Thought channels. Many of these ideas commended themselves to the minds of readers which might well have been closed by denominational prejudices, had they come labeled as New Thought.
Ella was born November 5, 1850, in the village of Johnstown, Rock County, Wisconsin. Her parents were Marcus H. Wheeler, and Sarah Pratt Wheeler, with three older children they had followed, "Grandsir Pratt" from Vermont in 1849.
In the spring of 1852 the Wheeler family settled in Dane County, Wisconsin in the town of Westport, where Ella grew up, in the home where she made her reputation as a writer of appealing poetry, until her marriage in 1884, when she went to Connecticut; from which state her Grandfather Wheeler had migrated to Vermont years before.
With a Great Grandfather Pratt seven years in the Revolutionary War, and his wife Elizabeth Currier of French blood; a Grandmother named Conner; a Mother, who, like most of her aunts and cousins, was addicted to the habit of composing verses, Ella had the inherited tendency; a regular family study of Shakespeare, Byron, Burns and modern poets all year round, 1849-50 doubtless added a prenatal influence, which formed the character of her ambition.
Her education was acquired in a district school, now named Ella Wheeler Wilcox School, except one short term at Wisconsin University, which was as she saw it a "waste of time."
Riding horseback, dancing, visiting girl friends, dreaming great dreams and being kind, was better than trying to master mathematics, of which she had a "holy horror."
In the years between 1865 and 1875, a strong prohibition wave was sweeping over Wisconsin. Good Tempar Lodges became numerous. Many of Ella Wheeler's earlier verses were in support of total abstinence and in opposition to booze, its makers, and its venders. Fifty-six of these were published in a volume entitled "Drops of Water." Her volume entitled "Shells" contained 119 poems--more than 175 poems and the author not 23 years old. It is doubtful if anyone knows the names of all her published poems. They were a great multitude and everyone found ardent admirers--and critics.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote verses which appealed to the public and never one verse strained or ungramatical, as she states in her memoirs, her first check paid for a dress to wear to a wedding, in March 1869. Her financial returns were not of importance until after 1880, though she was known and loved by thousands of readers. She wrote for the same reason that a bird sings. It was what she was made for. Her marriage in 1884 was a love match. The death of Mr. Wilcox overwhelmed her, until satisfied that she had received messages from him through her practice of Spiritualism. Then she resumed literary work, and other activities; including war work in France up to Armistice Day.
Whilst Mrs. Wilcox was certainly New Thought in her general outlook, and in common with many who later became leaders of the New Thought movement, attended classes by the "teacher of teachers," Emma Curtis Hopkins , she went much farther than many of the leaders of the movement in her espousal also of ideas which are regarded as occult. And some of the leaders were not always happy with what she wrote. She was strongly drawn to Spiritualism and gave much credit to Oriental--especially Indian thought, as the source of many of her ideas.
She wrote not only poetry; but did a great deal of prose writing as well. A number of her essays specifically on New Thought themes appeared in a volume entitled The Heart of New Thought, which the publisher's preface described as a "Noteworthy interpretation of New Thought, the backbone of which philosophy is the Power of Right Thought....Mrs. Wilcox is ever the voice of the people: what she says is practical, what she thinks is clear, what she feels is plain."
She died on October 30, 1919, at her home in Short Beach, Conn.

April 2013 bid a warm South African welcome to the inaugural Mzansi Tour powered by Cathsseta. Mzansi is the Zulu word meaning 'the South' and is often used as a colloquialism to refer to South Africa. It's appropriate then as the name for the Mzansi Tour, the only UCI-graded road cycling stage race in Southern Africa.
The five-day, six-stage event carried a 2.2 International Cycling Union (UCI) grading and took place from 17 to 21 April, 2013 hosting 15 South African and international teams. The South African landscape provided a spectacular backdrop for a tour of this nature, with open roads, breathtaking views, mountainous terrain and a warm climate, with spectators and fans who can greet you in 11 official languages.
This book features some of the iconic images captured by Zoon Cronje telling the story of this "Tour de France" of Africa

I. du Pont de Ncmours and Company, Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware Filed Oct. 1, 1958, Ser. No. 766,170 13 Claims. (Cl. 29-194) This invention relates to chemical plating and more particularly it relates to the chemical plating of new nickel-boron and cobalt-boron alloys from new aqueous chemical plating baths. This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Serial No. 669,290, filed July 1, 1957, now abandoned, which is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 634,142, filed January 15, 1957 (now abandoned). This application is also related to my copending applications filed of even date herewith and identified as Serial No. 764,490 and Serial No. 765,017. The chemical plating or deposition of metals or alloys by chemical reduction of metal ions on the surface of the article to be plated has been known for some time. Heretofore, cobalt and nickel deposits have been obtained by a chemical reduction process in which an alkali metal hypophosphite is employed as the reducing agent. Such deposits are not pure metal but contain around 5% to 7% phosphorus. It is another object of this invention to produce a new series of nickel-boron and cobal-boron alloys which have particularly desirable properties as metal plates or coatings on various materials. It is another object of this invention to provide a new chemical plating process for the deposition of nickel and cobalt in the form of their boron-containing alloys from an aqueous solution on the surface of a material which catalyzes the plating or deposition of the nickel or cobalt from the solution. It is still another object of this invention to provide new cqueous chemical plating solutions from which new, hard, adherent, corrosionand wear-resistant coatings of nickel-boron or cobalt-boron alloys can be chemically deposited on certain catalytically active materials. Other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention. The above objects may be accomplished by producing a new plating solution consisting essentially of an aqueous alkaline solution of a nickel or cobalt salt, a borohydride, and an agent which by forming a comlex compound with nickel or cobalt will maintain the same in solution. New nickel-boron or cobalt-boron alloys may be chemically deposited from such plating solutions onto the surfaces of objects to be plated by placing into contact with the solutions such objects the surface of which is composed of nickel, cobalt, iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, palladium, platinum, copper, brass, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, tin, silver, carbon or graphite. These materials function catalytically to cause a reduction of the nickel or cobalt ions to nickelboron or cobalt-boron alloys by the-borohydride present and thereby deposit such alloys in a uniform layer on these metal surfaces. To avoid reaction between the nickel or cobalt salts and the borohydride present in the solution and the precipitation of finely divided nickel or cobalt borides in the mass of the plating solution, and to confine the depo sition of the nickel or cobalt and the boron present in the solution to the chemical reduction of the nickel or cobalt ions and some of the boron in borohydride ions to metallic nickel-boron or cobalt-boron alloys on the surfaces of the objects to be plated, the activity of the nickel, cobalt and borohydride ions is controlled in the plating 'solutionsI The activity of thc borohydride ions is controlled by adjusting the free alkali content, as measured by the hydroxyl ion content, of the bath. The activity of the metal ions is controlled by the addition ,of an agent which forms with the nickel or cobalt ion a complex ion that is soluble in the plating solution. These nickel or cobalt complex ion-forming agents are often referred to as complexing agents or sequestering agents. -In using borohydride as the reducing agent in the process of this invention it is also essential to combine the bath ingredients in such a manner as to avoid reaction between the nickel or cobalt salts and the borohydride. It is necessary to first add to the aqueous solution of the nickel or cobalt salt a complexin g agent to form a nickel complex salt in the aqueous solution and then thoroughly alkalinize the solution before addition thereto of the borohydride. If the borohydride is added before the nickel or cobalt complexions are formed in the alkaline solution, it will react instantaneously to form a precipitate of finely divided nickel or cobalt borides. Such borides cannot again be easily brought into solution. It is preferred to dissolve the nickel salt, e.g., nickel-chloride, together with the complcxing agent in water and then add thereto an aqueous solution of NaOH. The borohydride, e.g., sodium borohydride, is dissolved in a small amount of an aqueous solution of NaOH. These two solutions are then carefully mixed with stirring. The initiation of the plating process can be speeded up, particularly when Working at temperatures below about 70 C., by contacting the surface of the material to be plated with a more electro-negative metal such as aluminum, while in contact with the plating solution. Since nickel and cobalt and their alloys with boron are good catalysts for the reduction of the nickel or cobalt ions to metallic nickel or cobalt in the presence of the borohydride ions, once the initial deposit of these metals is obtained upon a surface, the plating will continue. as long as the solution remains workable. Non-metallic materials such as glass and various plastics are in general noncatalytic. However, the surface of noneatalytic materials can be sensitized to be catalytic by producing a film of one of the catalytic materials on these surfaces. This can be accomplished by a variety of techniques known to those skilled in the art. A preferred procedure involves dipping articles of glass or plastic in a solution of stannous chloride and then contacting the treated surface with a solution of palladium chloride. A monolayer of palladium is thus produced. The article can then be chemically plated with nickelboron or cobalt-boron alloys by the process of this invention. The term catalytic surface as used in connection with my chemical plating process refers to the surface of any article composed of the aforesaid catalytic materials or coated therewith, or 'to the surface of noncatalytic material which has been sensitized by producing a film of said catalytic materials on its surface. The iborohydride reducing agent may consist of any water-soluble borohydride having a good degree of solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. Sodium and potassium borohydrides are preferred. In addition, substituted borohydrides in which not more than three of the hydrogen atoms of the borohydride ion have been replaced can be utilized. Sodium trimethoxyborohydrides, NaB(OCH H, is illustrative of the compounds of this Since the oxidation of borohydride ions by water is very rapid in acid and neutral solutions, alkaline plating solutions are used. Due to the alkalinity of the solution, the sequestering agent has to form sutiiciently strong complexes with the metal ions to prevent the precipitation of nickel or cobalt hydroxide or basic salts. Furthermore, the complex. metal ions must be soluble in the plat- I process. ing solution and be so stable that they will not react with borohydride in the bulk of solution but only at a catalytic surface. 1 The nickelor cobalt-complexing or sequestering agents suitable for use in accordance with this invention include ammonia and organic complex-forming agents containing one or more of the following functional groups: primary amino group (--NH secondary amino group NH), tertiary amino group N), imino group (:NH), carboxy group (-COOH), and hydroxygroup (-OH). Preferred agents include ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and ammonia. Related polyamines and N-carboxymethyl derivatives thereof may also be used. Cyanides may not be employed since the plating process will not function in their presence. Cobalt and nickel may be employed in the form of any water-soluble salt which is not antagonistic to the plating Cyanides and thiocyanates fall in the latter category. Salts of oxidizing acids are not desirable since they consume borohydrides and thus impair its proper utilization in the reduction process. Chlorides, sulfates, formates, acetates and other salts whose anions are substantially inert with respect to the other ingredients in the chemical plating bath are satisfactory. In carrying out the plating process, the article to be plated and normally formed of a catalytic material is properly prepared by mechanical cleaning, degreasing and acid pickling, according to the standard practice in electroplating processes. The cleaned article is, then immersed in a suitable volume of the hot aqueous plating solution. Almost imediately, hydrogen bubbles can be observed forming on the catalytic surface of the article immersed and escaping in a steady stream from the bath, while the surface of the article is slowly coated with a metallic plate. The plating is continued until the metal ions are depleted from solution, or until the evolution of hydrogen gas stops, indicating that all the bo'rohydride is consumed in the plating process. The nickel-boron or cobalt-boron alloy plates deposited on metal surfaces in accordance with the process of this invention are new alloys of great utility. These alloy plates have been found to contain between about 1-8% by weight of boron. Additionally, these alloy plates are structurally quite distinct from alloys obtained by conventional plating processes. While the plates are difiicult to analyze, it has been recently determined, through X-ray diffraction and X-ray microscopy techniques, that the boron is imbedded in an amorphous matrix of the metal plated in both nickelor cobalt-boron plating processes. The matrix metal is essentially amorphous to X-rays (CuK radiation e.g.) showing only about 5l0% crystalline nickel or cobalt. All alloy plates that are prepared in accordance with the present invention contain about 92-99% of nickel or cobalt and about 1-8% boron. Approximately 5-10% of the metal is present as crystalline nickel or cobalt; the remainder of the metal is structurally unorganized and noncrystalline. The boron and crystalline metal are uniformly dispersed and distributed throughout the matrix. Accordingly, throughout the specification and claims, -any reference to amorphous matrix of nickel or cobalt designates an amorphous, structurally unorganized metal insofar as crystallinity is detectable by X-ray examination using CuK radiation. After heat treatment for one hour at 600 C., the X-ray difiraction patterns of nickel-boron plates show the prescnce of crystalline Ni li and additional crystalline nickel, indicating that boron and nickel have chemically reacted and that the small amount (540%) of crystalline nickel has grown. It has been further found that the amount of crystalline nickel present in the amorphous matrix is as high as about of the total nickel content present and possi- 75 porosity. The following nickel plates were compared: bly higher. The amount of crystalline cobalt present in the amorphous matrix of cobalt is frequently lower, sometimes comprising less than 5%. The process of using amine-boranes as disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 764,490 identified above, is another method for producing alloy plates having the above characteristics. The nickel-boron alloy plates to this invention are bright, very hard, exceptionally uniform in thickness, relatively free from porosity, and have a high degree of corrosion resistance as compared to electroplated nickel. The hardness of the nickel-boron alloy plates of this invention is approximately equal to the hardness of commercial chromium electroplates. The hardness of these nickel-boron alloy plates as determined with a 10 gram load on a Vickers hardness measuring device is as follows: Vickers hardness No. Nickel-boron alloy as plated 780-810 Nickel-boron alloy heated at 325 C. for one hour 890-910 Nickel-boron alloy heated at 440 C. for one hour 570 Nickel-boron alloy heated at 600 C. for one hour 520 The nickel-boron alloy plates of this invention show considerable oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures and can be used to protect high temperature construction materials against oxidation. These plates are less porous than commercial nickel electroplates; e.g., 0.1 mil thick nickel-boron plate is less porous than 0.8 to 1.0 mil thick conventional nickel electroplate. Consequently, they offer better corrosion protection than two to four times thicker nickel electroplate, as seen by accelerated corrosion tests. Thus, my nickel-boron plates can be used, and with better results, wherever conventional nickel electroplates are used for corrosion protection. In my plating processes the plating takes place at a uniform rate wherever there is contact between the part being plated and the plating solution. In other words, the throwing power of the bath is infinite, and there is no substantial variation in the plate thickness'even for the most complicated shapes. Thus, my nickel-boron plates are uniform in recesses, as well as on exposed parts of the object being plated, and there is no build-up of coating on points or edges. These conditions are difficult or impossible to achieve by electroplating. Because of the uniformity and the protective qualities of these nickelboron plates, my plating process is ideally suitable for plating objects of irregular or complicated shapes which are difiicult or impossible to plate by conventional methods (e.g., complex fabricated assemblies; parts having screw threads, indentations, or holes which must be uniformly plated with the protective deposit; andthe interior of vessels, tubes, and pipes). Additionally, plates produced as disclosed herein are useful as ornamental designs, since a non-catalytic surface may be selectively sensitized by the use of stannous chloride and palladium chloride as described above. Similarly, these metal plates may be deposited in predetermined patterns that serve as electrical conductors. Circuit patterns may thus be selectively plated on the activated areas of an inexpensive sheet of material that is normally non-catalytic. Nickel plates obtained by electroplating and by chemical plating were compared with the ferroxyl test for nickel-boron plate, nickel-phosphorus plate (obtained by Kanigen process), and electroplated nickel (standard Watts bath). In performing the ferroxyl test, nickel plated steel samples were contacted for one minute with filter paper soaked in the ferroxyl test solution. This test solution was prepared by dissolving five grams of pure agar-agar in one liter of water containing one gram of NaCl and one gram of K Fe(CN) The presence of a pore in the nickel plate is indicated by the appearance of a blue spot on the ferroxyl test paper. The results of ferroxyl tests showed that nickel plated by chemical reduction was less porous than electroplated nickel, e.g., 0.1 mil thick nickel-boron alloy produced by this invention was less porous than 0.40.8 mil thick electrodeposit. The porosity of nickel-boron plates was comparable to that of nickel-phosphorus (Kaniegn) plates. It was found that a thin nickel-boron strike before or after electroplating decreased the porosity of electroplated nickel markedly. The results of ferroxyl tests indicated that a 0.02-0.005 mil thick nickel-boron strike made 0.2-0.4 mil thick nickel electroplates practically nonporous, While, without a nickel-boron strike, a thickness of l.01.5 mil was required to eliminate porosity of nickel electroplates. Thus, a thin nickel-boron strike, particularly when used as an overcoat, seals the pores in nickel electroplates very effectively. Nickel-boron plates also exhibited a higher corrosion resistance than conventional nickel electroplates. It was observed that athin nickel-boron strike before, and particularly after, electroplating increased the corrosion resistance of electroplated nickel to a considerable extent. Thus, 0.20.4 mil thick nickel electroplate, in combination with 0.020.03 mil thick nickel-boron strike, protected steel against corrosion in 1% NaCl solution better than 1 mil thick nickel electroplate alone. The corrosion protection of copper electroplates, in combination with thin nickel-boron undercoats or overcoats, was compared to that of standard copper-nickel electroplates. The Corrodkote test was used in making this comparison. This test involves coating samples with a corrosive paste containing 0.035 grant cupric nitrate, 0.165 gram ferric chloride, 1.0 gram ammonium chloride, 30 grams kaolin, and 50 ml. water, and exposing the coated samples at 25 C. and 92% relative humidity for twenty hours. Steel samples were electroplated with copper and nickel to the following thicknesses: (1) 0.2 mil Cu+0.2 milNi (2) 0.35 mil Cu+0.40 mil Ni (3) 0.6 mil Cu+0.60 mil Ni (4) 1.0 mil Cu+1.0 mil Ni These electroplated samples, corresponding to ASTM- AES A166 specifications, were used as standards in Corrodkote corrosion tests. Copper was plated from commercial copper cyanide high-speed copper plating baths. Nickel plating was done by a commercial nickel plating process. Steel samples, electroplated with copper in thicknesses ranging from 0.2 mil to 1.0 mil and having about 0.18 mil thick Ni-B overcoat or undercoat, were prepared. The Corrodkote test was made with these samples and with the aforementioned standard samples under the same conditions. In this test copper nickel clectroplates were cracked and corroded to a considerable extent, while the copper elcctroplates with nickel-boron overcoats remained practically unattacked. The process of this invention therefore permits the plating of steel or copper, or other metals as above described, with much thinner coatings of nickel than heretofore considered practical. Moreover, such thin coatings of nickel-boron will be harder, more corrosion resistant, lcss porous, and longer lasting than previously known relatively thick electrodcposited nickel coatings. Further features of this invention comprising the new nickelboron or cobalt-boron alloy plates, included in ccrtain laminated structures, will be more clearly apparent by reference to the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which FIGURE 1 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a steel razor blade plated in accordance with this invention; FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a steel object plated in accordance with this invention; FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 are cross-sectional views of laminated metal structures produced in accordance with this invention. Referring to FIGURE 1, the portion of the steel razor blade plated with the nickel-boron alloy illustrates the eX- ceedingly uniform plate obtained by the chemical rc duction plating process of this invention particularly around the sharp edge of the blade. Such uniform plate can even be obtained when plating objects of greatly varying contour as shown in FIGURE 2. FIGURE 3 illustrates an embodiment in which a steel sheet is plated with copper, then with a nickel electroplate and finally with a nickel-boron alloy overcoat. Such use of a nickel-boron alloy overcoat permits the plating of a very thin nickel electroplate so that the total nickel and nickel boron alloy thickness is considerably less than heretofore considered necessary for a nickel electroplating. Furthermore, no final plate of chromium, as is usually employed, will be necessary in view of the hardness and corrosion-resistance of the nickel-boron alloy overcoat. If a chromium plating is desired because of the color, the nickel-boron or cobalt-boron alloy plate of this invention will readily accept a chromium plate from a conventional chromium plating bath. FIGURE 4 illustrates a laminated plated structure in which the copper plated steel is first plated with a nickelboron alloy as an undercoat for a final nickel electroplate. This structure permits the use of thin nickel plates which will be superior from a standpoint of permanence than much thicker electroplates of nickel. FIGURE 5 shows a laminated structure in which a nickel-boron alloy plate is used between copper undercoats to eliminate porosity and softness of copper plates and another nickel-boron alloy over-plate over nickel electroplate to impart a final corrosion-resistance, hardness, and non-porosity to the electroplated nickel. Alternatively a nickel-boron alloy plate may be plated directly on steel followed by a copper or nickel electroplate. The following are illustrative examples of bath compositions and working conditions for nickel and cobalt plating solutions. EXAMPLE I Sequestering Agent: Etlzylenediamine Nickel chloride (NiCl -6H O) grams/liter 2O Ethylenediamine (98%) do. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) do 40 Sodium borohydride (NaBH do 0.67 Temperature of the plating solution C 97 Preparation of the plating ballz.-The given amouht of sodium hydroxide was dissolved in 500 ml. of cold water. A small portion (about m1.) of this solution was used to dissolve sodium borohydride; the rest of the solution was mixed with the solution of nickel chloride and ethylenediamine which was prepared by dissolving the given amount of these chemicals in a separate 500 ml. portion of distilled water. The solution of sodium borohydride was then added to this mixture. The solution was transferred to the plating vessel (alkali resistant glass beaker) and heated to the given temperature. Clean samples of copper, brass and steel were immersed in the plating bath and kept there for thirty minutes. Bright, adherent and uniform nickel-boron plates were obtained on all the samples immersed in the plating bath. The amount of nickel-boron alloy deposited in thirty minutes was 3.9-4.6 mg./cm. The composition and preparation of the plating bath was the same as described for Example I. Samples of the following materials were immersed in the plating bath: iron, cast iron, stainless steel, manganese, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, titanium, tin, silver, and graphite. After thirty minutes, the samples were removed from the bath. All the samples showed a gain of weight and the presence of nickel plate. EXAMPLE III solution at C. for one minute (70 g. of SnCl +40 ml. of cone.

The amount of cobalt-boron alloy deposited in thirty minutes was 0.35-0.40 mg./cm. EXAMPLE VII Plating baths were prepared as f0ll0ws.--Varying quantities of nickel chloride (NiCl -6H O) and ethylene diamine (98%) were dissolved in such quantities of water as to produce a series of 500 ml. solutions as set forth in the table below. NaOH was dissolved in 500 ml. water. 50 ml. of the aqueous solution of NaOH was used to dissolve therein varying quantities of sodium borohydride as set forth below. The other 450 ml. of NaOH solution was added to the aqueous solution of nickel chloride and ethylenediamine. The sodium borohydride solution was then added to the alkaline solution of nickel chloride and ethylenediamine. The resulting solution, having a clear violet color was heated in a glass breaker to a temperature of either 95 C. or 98 C. as noted. Copper sheets were immersed in the heated solutions for a period of one-half hour. Bright, smooth, uniform coatings of nickel-boron were formed on'the copper sheet. The nickel-boron plates were stripped from the copper by placing the plated copper in 2 molar HNO having a temperature of 40 C. The metal ions in the HNO solution were then separated from the boric acid by passing the solution through a'column packed with a phenolic cation-exchange resin containing methylene sulfonic polar groups (Amberlite LR. 120(H), manu factured by Rohm and Haas Chemical Company, Phila delphia, Pa.). The boric acid content of the acid solutions was then determined tetrimetrically in the presence of mannitol, using a pH meter to indicate the end-point. See H. Kramer, Anal. Chem. 27, 144 (1955).

To this solution of nickel chloride and ammonium hydroxide The given amount of sodium borohydride was dissolved in 20 ml. ammonium hydroxide and this solution added to the nickel chloride-ammonium hydroxide solution. The solution was transferred to the plating vessel (alkali resistant glass breaker) and heated to a temperature of Clean samples of copper were immersed in the plating bath and kept there for thirty minutes. Bright, adherent and uniform nickel-boron plates were obtained on all the samples immersed in the plating bath. The amount of Temperature of the plating solution C nickel-boron alloy deposited in thirty minutes was 0.6 mg./cm. In general, the boron content of the plates increases slightly when the ratio of sodium borohydride to nickel salt in the bath is increased, but, as seen from the above table, in a particular system the variations in boron content are very small. Other systems containing different complexing agents can reduce the amount ofboron deposited in the plate, especiallyin the instance of cobaltboron' plates. Under varying conditions in cobalt-boron plating baths, the amount of boron in the plate may be as low as about 1%. All of the plates obtained through the practice of the herein-disclosed invention, however, will contain about l-8% by weight of boron. Nickelboron plates containing about 37% boron are produced by preferred methods and have shown excellent qualities. Temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the rate of plating. The rate of plating increases rapidly with temperature. At 60 C. the rate of plating is only about one-tenth of that at 90 C. When high rate of plating is desired, the plating bath should be operated as near to the boiling point of the solution as convenient, preferably above 90 C. The'most favorable range of borohydride concentration lies in the range of 0.005 to 0.05 mole per liter. In the case of sodium borohydride this concentration lies between 0.2 to 1.5 grams per liter. Higher concentrations can be used when the plating bath is operated at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures and high concentrations of sodium borohydride, the spontaneous decomposition (i.e., reduction of nickel or cobalt ions by borohydride in the bulk of solution) could occur. Therefore, it is advantageous to replenish the bath with sodium borohydride intermittently rather than use high initial bOrohydride concentrations. The concentration of hydroxyl ions in the plating bath may vary from 0.001 to 2.0 moles per liter, the preferable range being from 0.1 to 1.0 mole per liter. Low hydroxyl ion concentration can be used at the lower temperatures; the use of a high hydroxyl ion concentration at high temperatures generally requires a large excess of sequestering agent to prevent the formation of insoluble metal hydroxide or basic salts. Any alkali metal hydroxide can be used to provide hydroxyl ions. When amines or ammonia are used as sequestering agents, the alkali metal hydroxide may be omitted from the composition of the plating solution. The pH of the plating solution is high, usually greater than 11. The preferable initial concentration of nickel or cobalt salts may vary from 0.02 to 0.2 mole per liter. The use of higher concentrations may result in spontaneous decomposition of the plating solution. The amount of sequestering agent to be added to the plating solution depends upon the nature of the sequestering agent and the amount of the metal salt present in the bath. in alkaline solutions, the preferred molar ratio of nickel chloride to ethylenediamine lies between 1:3 and 1:10, the molar ratio of nickel sulfate (or chloride) to tricthylenetctramine or sodium potassium tartrate between l:2 and 1:10, and the molar ratio of cobalt chlo ride to cthyelenediamine tetra-acetic acid between 1:1 and 1:5. A small excess of the sequestering agent increases the rate of plating, but generally decreases the stability of the plating bath. In addition to the aforementioned sequestering agents, ammonium hydroxide and watersoluble citrates may be used to sequester nickel ions, and ammonium hydroxide, tartrates and citrates may be used for sequestering cobalt ions particularly when the bath is Operated at the lower temperatures and when lower concentrations of hydroxyl ions and metal salts are used.

Ron Parson has spent his life dedicated to the betterment of his community and ensuring the citizenship of Chattanooga and Hamilton County have the means to provide for themselves and their families.
Ron Parson worked tirelessly this past holiday season, making sure in-need families had gifts for their children. Ron's participation in Shop With A Cop and The Santa Train are an example of his commitment to those in need.
Rarely will Ron openly admit his involvement in such events, even to his friends, as he does not seek recognition, for it is his own sense of community pride and his love for this great county that drives him. Ron does not often pose for photos or statements at these events, often avoiding the media entirely so he can focus on what really matters: providing the citizens of this great county with the resources they need, when they need them.
Ron Parson will bring this sense of community pride and civic leadership to the office of circuit court clerk, and that is why he deserves your vote in the upcoming election.

Hamilton County Government needs honest and fair leadership. Ron Parson has a history of making false and misleading statements. He was demoted in the Sheriff's Office from chief of patrol to captain of the Court Division. He had a subordinate do his online college assignments and gave his password to that person.
We need to change how we elect our officials, le'ts elect in someone with integrity and not Ron Parson.
As for his charitable work, it seems to me as just for publicity and to cover up his guilt for his transgressions.

Very friendly & helpful staff. Great value for money, we had a car so being out of Vegas was not a problem.
Would have preferred not to have to use plastic cutlery at breakfast.
The small feel of the place, so not too crowded.
All in all, this is an average hotel room with a fridge and a microwave but best of all, they provide you with a nice hot breakfast,free Wifi and no resort fee. Staff were helpful and pleasant.
I didn't have a bad experience just noting that you need to have a car and no need for the glitz of the strip. Great spot to hang your hat otherwise.
The peace nd quite I got from staying here.
The breakfast was nt very good.
- location; - hotel clenliness; - friendly staff;
Good beds Clean Parking Breakfast included Comparatively good value for money
in our experience hotels very rarely respond to extra bed requests, but it has always been possible to solve. Here it turned out impossible in the room type we had booked. In the end we were offered to upgrade to a larger room for a reduced price which we accepted. Wifi rather weak A bit remote location Noise from industry nighttime in rooms facing back Crowded breakfast area
From the front door of the hotel to our room, everything was nice and most important...very clean. Will use this hotel next time I plan a trip to Las Vegas. A+++
Wifi doesn't work in room or in lobby at all although there is signal of wifi.

It was quite, clean, great breakfast, excellent staff.
The bed was not soft enough for me, but I was able to sleep anyway.
The hotel was clean and they had a good breakfast
While I was staying there I booked a room for 2 nights later and when I got there the guy that booked the room put the wrong date on the booking so I almost didn't get a room
Loved the location - quiet away from downtown Las Vegas but close enough to drive to it. Nice pool and breakfast ! Very comfortable bed too!
As we went to Vegas every day it was probably too far (20 minute drive) to come home from the shows at night. We are 64.
It was close to airport
The girl that worked at the front desk. Service is really really terible.
breakfast was included services were great
staff made a mistake by putting a parking sticker note on my car, which was really hard to remove. The good thing is that they did try to remedy the situation and the manager offered me free a car wash.
The facilities were fairly new. Room was clean. Breakfast was very good.
A/C and refrig were noisy... interrupted sleep.
We are a family with young kids so having a fridge and a microwave is a must and I assumed all hotels are equipped with this. We stayed at one of the higher-end hotels in Las Vegas a few weeks earlier and it didn't come with a fridge or a microwave, and we had to pay extra for everything including wifi. Staying here was perfect. We had all that we needed at no additional charge. We will stay here from now on when we are in town. The rooms were clean, the hotel lobby was clean. It was quiet, and I love that they have a washer and dryer. We went home with clean clothes. One less thing I had to do when we arrived back home.
Clean, comfortable room. Good breakfast.
WiFi very weak in room, not much better in lobby, IPad almost unusable. Toilet tissue cannot get any thinner.
Good position for travellers not interested in Las Vegas. Good facilities nearby.
Relatively easy to find Good price
Not easy to find any restaurant nearby
Pet friendly! Traveling with our old dog. He was a welcomed guest just like the rest of the family. Very clean rooms, friendly professional staff, good free breakfast, free parking, great price value relationship.

Olea in New Haven Delivers Extraordinary Spanish Dining
Many in the New Haven area mourned the closing of Ibiza last spring. The restaurant has been reimagined by former Ibiza chef Manual Romero who is now the owner and chef, reviving this modern Spanish tapas mecca for the city once again.
Our friends at Connecticut Magazine recently visited, giving it an excellent rating, and here's why:
When Ibiza in New Haven closed last spring, Connecticut lost a culinary treasure. Located on High Street, steps away from two famous art museums, it was itself a work of art, showcasing the best of modern Spanish cuisine in the state and on the East Coast. Busy, buzzy, frequently bustling, with a mile-long list of intriguing tapas and a devoutly loyal customer base, it vanished suddenly, as if it had never been. Rumors flew. Diners mourned. But within six months, the spirit of Ibiza rose like a phoenix in the same location but in a glamorous new guise, re-imagined and rechristened, Olea.

The Haunted post new song
Ah, I just posted the same article, haha! Never really liked Aro as much as Dolving, but it's good to see this band getting thrashier again.
^^Got ahead of you at the photo-finish, hahaha, just kidding. As for The Haunted, song is decent, if they can get back to the spirit of their first two albums, it will be great.

Blacksters, thrashsters, doomster, god damnit Voivod.
^^haha you forgot "metallers". I edited it, here you go, hope it's fine now.
I probably should change my username back to Aro999.
lol^ This was pretty catchy but weak as balls. Wish they would do something like One Kill Wonder again. Or just thrash more.
Damn. I thought these guys had just given up after losing so many members. I've always hated Aro so this will be interesting
This pretty much sounds as if it were a b-side to Made Me Do It. Not bad but nothing too memorable either. A lot of recycled riffs in this

Death and me (Smrt i ja)
Death is not beyond me. She's in me
since the foremost beginning: she grows with me
in every moment
One day
I stop
while she grows forward
in me until she overgrows me wholly
and reaches my edge. My end
her's real beginning:
when reigns further on her's own.

its been a while since i replied internet connection was blocked coz we didnt payed for two months but its all settled now though i dont like the service of the internet coz they will take weeks before they resolve the issues we report sometimes its fast sometimes its not and you have to go to office for them to take notice :/ and its kind of unfair for we pay they for service and they dont give a good service :/
anyways, i like zombie games coz im a fan of Resident Evil :D also i like RPG games too the one that you have to control your character in order for it to move not just by clicking on the ground for them to move it kinda bores me if thats the setting. well, i cant force you if you dont like it we have our own tastes if you know what i mean :D
are you going in the army ?? that is cool i like guns :D
did you see the news ?? DN korea has a new character it is called Dancer i dont know the skills but i think it can match acrobat in close combat i just know it this afternoon after my friend told me about it :D
but its nice to have a partnership thought but like you said earning money in someones else's work and breaking the law is a bad idea
parrying is useful in long range attackers it deflects projectiles that hit you :)
yea, i like sniper too thought its slow in dungeon runs but in arena i like it when you shoot enemies from far away especially its tracking arrrows when you succeed shooting it i guarantee that it will it the enemy thats what i like about sniper also its charged shot too can inflict a lot of damage :D
P.S. have you tried the deadfrontier yet ??
if you have a wire or sth like that then you can connect it to your router and be able to turn off the wireless/bluetooth :D
glad it was helpful :)
the game improved since the last time i played it last year around april i think missions were added also you can barricade buildings to make it your own trade zone but its better to have a party of 2 to cover each back while the other one is barricading or looting :D
i accidentally saw your post when i checked youtube, it would add subscribers if you put an advertisment or post it in the description of your next video uploaded :D also 12k subscribers is a lot also with 12m views maybe you can get a partnership with youtube sometime XD
i tried it but im still on training i will go to pvp when i mastered its skills also why didn't you get the parry skill ?? i think its the most annoying skill for me coz when i use my sniper and use the tracking arrow skill it doesnt inflict damage it blocks it. the best thing to raise money is to have abyss dungeon runs if your lucky enough you can get heraldry skills that might be useful for me i got tip tops would sell around 1k if no other players are selling :) also tracking arrows, side kick(swordsman), etc.
i forgot to mention this in my reply be sure to click advance mode to select the following programs to be closed here is the option i use :
Anti Virus/Malware No
Instant Messenger Yes
Music Player Yes

Money-laundering law still falls short
Banks told to gather, verify customer data
- Published: 25 Feb 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 2,026 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: News
- Writer: King-oua Laohong
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has demanded Thailand improve the draft amendment of its anti-money laundering law and issue a new "Know Your Customer" law requiring banks to gather and verify customer information.
Anti-Money Laundering Office secretary-general Seehanart Prayoonrat yesterday said the FATF had removed Thailand from its list of high-risk countries for financial transactions, but has warned that more work needs to be done to stamp out money laundering.
The inter-governmental body, set up to curb money laundering and terrorist financing, agreed on Friday at a meeting in Paris to upgrade Thailand's status from "dark grey" to "grey" on its list of countries vulnerable to financial crimes.

Satechi AirBass Active Bluetooth Speakers
Satechi's AirBass Active Bluetooth Speakers ($130) are a good example of how simple design, executed properly, can lead to an attractive product. Coming in either black or white, these desktop speakers would look really nice next to an iMac or a MacBook. They're not the fanciest things around, but at this price point, they don't have to be.
The two-speaker set can connect to a Mac using your choice of Bluetooth, an aux connection, or standard RCA connectors. There's also a subwoofer output, and a USB port for charging devices at 1-Amp. A single chrome button on the front controls all the functions. It's not a bad deal at $130, and it's even more attractive at the $100 introductory price.

Have a PSA standard mid length, a Phase 5 Tactical Enhanced (not full auto) BCG, and never once had a single problem with anything. have shot full auto with a slidefire multiple times and ran some tac drills at a high pace. Also the regular plink. Probably 2000 rounds through it. I can't for the life of me figure out why people would buy anything else for 700$. I hear DPMS, the M&P Sport, and Bushmaster carbons breaking all the time. I really don't get it. Why buy one of those? And I understand if Tula or Wolf doesn't run well in your own rifle, but people piss me off by saying don't use it in you rifle. Just because it didn't work in yours doesn't mean it wont work in mine. Just because it runs like a Ducati in mine doesn't mean you won't have problems. Shoot it and see. And for the record, the one and only FTF I've ever had in my rifle was Remington UMC BRASS. Go figure. I don't judge them on that one round though.
PSA 16" Mid upper Palmetto State Defense Lower Aimpoint Comp M2 Springfield XD 9 Sub Winchester semi 12ga Remington 870 Mosin Nagant 91/30 RIA 2011 VZ Grips 1911 .45 acp My deviled egg farts
My DPMS runs tul ammo no problems probably around 1000 rounds of it thru my rifle. I've actually noticed that it is consistently more accurate then a lot of the brass I've shot thru it (from a bench) for example: Independence 5.56, Remington UMC, PMC Bronze, are the 3 that I've used that were consistently less accurate than tul ammo. It does void the DPMS warrenty but that doesn't concern me I've already swapped the internals so its no longer a DPMS so they wouldn't touch it anyway. It went from a panther to a mutt! Lol
Work Hard Play Hard
I used steel cased Wolf 223/556 for many years in many different brands of AR 15"s and never had a single problem other than it tens to be dirty and not very accurate.
was in the military for years, they won't buy steel case, wolf makes steel case for 5.56 and that is sometimes problems.

The Large Diameter Centrifuge
In order to understand and describe the influence of gravity in systems, the observation of behaviour in microgravity and at 1g (where g is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth) is not sufficient. A broad gravity spectrum has to be explored to complete the scientific picture of how gravity has an impact on a system: samples have to be exposed to a variety of acceleration values above 1g (hypergravity).
A Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) has been developed recently by ESA, allowing the acquisition of measurement points in the range from 1 to 20 g. This instrument can provide a hypergravity environment for cells, plants and small animals, as well as physical science and technological experiments. The LDC is part of the Life and Physical Sciences Instrumentation and Life Support Laboratory (LIS) at ESTEC (the Netherlands), dedicated to serving the science and technology user communities throughout Europe.
A wide range of hypergravity experiments can be performed in the LDC facility, including biological, biochemical, microbiological, opto-physical, physical, material and fluid sciences, geology and plasma physics.
The diameter of the LDC is eight metres. It has four arms, each of which can support two gondolas with a maximum payload of 80 kg per gondola. In practice, six gondolas are available, plus one gondola in the centre for control or reference experiments. The rotation of the LDC then creates the hypergravity field at the experiment site inside each gondola.
The LDC is flexible in terms of experiment scenarios, duration and possible equipment to use. This means that the system is able to execute and manage experiments that last from one minute up to six months, without stopping.
More detailed information can be found in the LDC Experimenter User Manual.

Curl under PHP - more help please
Hi folks,
Being a unix veteran (SCO, 20 years or so) I am somewhat green to Linux, I have installed slackware 10.1 on a box, all options except for international languages where installed. (Installation was error-free and was a charm, I have *never* installed a *nix this fast before) My problem is that I can't get PHP to work with Curl, the Apache log tells me: PHP fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /var/www/htdocs/... From what I gather, I need to recompile PHP with curl support (--with-curl[=DIR]) and for the life of me I have no clue where to begin. Do I need to acquire the PHP source and recompile? or is the source already installed via slackware installation? A somewhat walkthrough from a Linux guru would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marc |
Hi Marc, welcome to Linux. What's the PHP code you're using?
You should be able to call curl externally with system() or exec() if you have curl installed (which it is with Slackware). |
I'm trying to convert so as to use curl directly without the use of PHP. the snipit from the PHP code that causes the error is $data_stream is put together from a PHP web form POST (parm=val&parm=val etc..) $url is the payment processing outfit's script //send the data and retrieve response from FirePay $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_stream); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); $result_tmp = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); If I could have the equivalent for the above code but for command line curl, I would be happy as a p*g in sh*t. Thanks for asking. Marc |
Et un montrealais en plus! Didn't notice.
So, I have a feeling that PHP that comes with Slackware 10.1 default is 4.0.1 which doesn't support curl_* per se. I would assume the command line would look something like this, if you wanted to pass it to exec() PHP Code:
I'll lookup and compare the options as you mentioned, so long as I can get it to run from the unix prompt, I can then build a bubble around it in (bourne, bash, perl, whatever) for my purposes. Cheers, Marc |
Well after some "fleshing" out I have bumped into a cement wall
The php script sets options as follows (the equivalant curl command line switch is in braces) CUROPT_POST, 1 ( --data ) CUROPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_stream ( URL Encoded Data ) CUROPT_URL, $url ( --url url ) CUROPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2 !!!!! ( unable to find equivalent in Curl manual ) CUROPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ( not needed for command line use ) CUROPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE !!!!! ( unable to find equivalent in Curl manual ) Then the command line would be: curl --data URLencodedData --url url --VERIFYHOST ? --VERIFYPEER ? Any help would be appreciated. Many Thanks, Marc |
I think that would be equal to --cacert empty CUROPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2 I think this is enable by default and disabled by using --insecure |
To send data to a post form, try using -d (or --data) one for
each variable to post, eg : Code:
curl -d var1=val -d var2=val -d var3=val -o out.html $url |
Ah, do you really think it is clever to mix up different techniques, when you can really do all this with php-only?
Installing PHP from source is not that hard (Documentation). Also you could do the post-request without CURL as well: Example |
Basically I will have data pre-formatted as var=val&var=val etc... from a database and need to send this info to the command line cURL and having trouble converting the PHP cURL options (post #3) to command line ones. I have data (var=val&var=val), the remote URL, no certificate and this must be sent SSL. Cheers, Marc |
Oh so I totally misunderstood you, sorry =)
If I understood the Man-page correctly, it could work that way: Code:
var = "foo=text&bar=othertext&banana=apple" //ensure that the content is "urlencoded"! cccc828 |
Well I decided to just go ahead a manually try one on the newly installed Slackware box, turns out the following works just fine
curl -d erlencodeddata https:/host/url curl -d erlencodeddata https:/host/url -v I have also acquired and compiled cURL and openSSL onto our main servers (SCO Unix) and they work just great there too. hats-off to the open-source community ! All your replies have help in my hunt to make this work Thanks a millions to all Cheers, Marc |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:44 PM. |
