"object used in a play," 1898, from props (1841), shortened form of properties (which was in theatrical use from early 15c.). Props as slang shortening for proper respects (or something similar) appeared c.1999.
short for propeller, 1914.
"to support," mid-15c., probably from prop (n.1) or a related verb in Dutch. Related: Propped; propping.

As you no doubt heard, read or saw, Pirates top prospect Starling Marte homered on the very first pitch he ever saw as a major leaguer. This, of course, means he will be the greatest player ever. Don't believe me? Let's compare the Hall of Fame-bound Marte to the other young stud hitters that have been taking the league by storm this season.
First we have wunderkind Bryce Harper. Harper is having a very nice rookie season, especially with him being just 19 years old and all. But in his first at-bat, what did he do? He grounded out to the pitcher. That's not very good. That's not very good at all. The pitcher's mound is like really close and stuff. Despite that, he seems poised to have a good and possibly great career.
Next we have uberwunderkind Mike Trout. In his first at-bat as a major leaguer, back in 2011, he flew out to right field. Right field is further away than the pitcher's mound so that's definitely better, but he still made an out. Again, despite this, Trout might very well be on the verge of winning the Rookie of the Year and MVP this season. If this is how good he is at age 20, he might well end up being one of the greatest players to ever step on a baseball diamond.
Which brings us back to Marte, who we already know hit a home run in his first at-bat. According to my official baseball rule sheet that I have taped to my monitor, hitting a home run means he hit the ball farther than a fly out and didn't even make an out! That's fantastically fantastic. Plus, he did it on the first pitch. Trout and Harper both needed multiple pitches just to be bad. Therefore Marte must be better than Trout, who is better than Harper. And don't even try and argue with the transitive property of inequalities or you will retroactively fail fourth grade algebra.
I think the obvious conclusion here is that Starling Marte should be declared Emperor of Baseball for Life, with the only possible exception that Jurickson Profar gets promoted and hits a grand slam off the pitcher before the first pitch even leaves his hand.

UNITED f STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,672, dated August 11, 1891.
Application iiled April 22, 1891. Serial No. 389,956. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that we, JOHN ROWE, a residentof Braidwood, county of Will, and State of Illinois, and THOMAS B. JACK, a resident of Braceville, in the county of Grundyand State of Illinois, both citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Couplings; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Figure l of the drawings is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of one draw-head and a side view of the other. Fig. 2 is a top plan view.
This invention relates to certain improvements in carcouplings; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, the letterA designates the hollow draw-head extending back under the car.
B designates the link-holding lever, hungl in the draw-head forward of its center upon the transverse pivot-rod b, having bearings in the side walls. The forward end of this lever b is recessed vertically, as at c, to receive the link. The weight of that portion of the lever at the rear of its pivot-rod is sufficient to normally hold the front portion in an elevated position to receive the link.
D designates the angular lock or catch pivoted at its angle in the rear bottom portion of the draw-head chamber. The longer arm G of the angle-catch is provided with the camslot d, which is engaged by a bail h of a transverse shaft H. The upper end of this arm normally rests on the rear end portion of the link-retaining lever B. The shorter arm g of the catch normally rests in a recess g in the bottom of the chamber.
The link of the approaching car entering beneath the raised forward end of the lever, strikes against the rear wall of the recess c, throwing the rear end of the lever upwardly and causing the forward end to drop through and engage the link. Vhen in this position, the angular catch D will drop into engagement with a shoulder 7a on the rear end of the lever, holding it in its locking` position.
When it is desired to effect the nncoupling, the transverse shaft H is operated by means of a hand wheel or leverL on either side of the car, which by means of its bail-engagement with the cam-slot of the catch will raise said catch from engagement with the shoulder of the lever, which by its own gravity Will drop, elevating the forward end and releasing the link. The weight of the lower arm of the angle-catch will cause its upper arm to fall into position upon thelink-retaining lever to again engage the shoulder lo, when a coupling is effected. A ratchet M isalso carried by t-he shaft H and adapted to be engaged by a pawl m on the car for the purpose of holding the angular catch in case it is desired to bring one car into contact with another for the purpose of pushing the car onto a side track without etfecting a coupling, or for any other purpose.
l/Vhen in coupling position, the lower forward end of the lever B bears against the recessed shoulder P at the front portion of the bottom of the draw-head chamber, which receives the strain of the coupling.
It will be seen that the action of coupling is entirely automatic and that the uncoupling may also be effected without the necessity of entering between the cars.
The parts are few in number and not liable to become broken or out of order.
I-Iavingthus described ourinvention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isfl. In a car-coupling, the combination, with the draw-head, of the link-holding lever pivotally hung in said draw-head and normally held in position to receivethe link by gravity, said lever having the link-retaining recess and the catch having the cam-slot and adapted to engage a shoulder on said lever, and means for operating said catch, substantially as specified. Y

Instead of doing my usual five takeaways following the Wizards' game, their fifth loss in a row and 10th in 12 games, 97-77 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, this requires a broader view of what has
Stop when something here sounds unfamiliar: The Wizards got out to a double-digit lead early, relinquished it to end the second quarter and came out flat to start the third en route to another los
A 9-2 lead stalls for the Wizards because of consecutive bad passes, from Nene and John Wall, and the Golden State Warriors are soon able to get on top of the first quarter.
Dropping a game 114-107 to the Golden State Warriors isn't anything to get alarmed about, especially with how well the Wizards played in most areas.
More of a concern than losing for the ninth time in 11 games for the Wizards is Paul Pierce as he had to be helped off the floor at the end of Tuesday's game.

Giant 13-pound baby born in Germany without a C-section; New world record?
A giant 13.4-pound baby was birthed Friday at the University Hospital in Leipzig, Germany, the Daily Mail reports.
Despite the risks, Jasleen's mother gave birth to her baby vaginally (aka without a C-section). According to the German newspaper Der Spiegel, Jasleen is currently being looked after by the hospital's neonatal care unit staff.
Given Jasleen's size, the most pressing question seems to be: Why did the mom give birth to Jasleen naturally and not through a C-section?
The obstetrician in charge of Jasleen's birth chose a vaginal birth because he was concerned about the health risks of performing a C-section on the baby's mother.
"We still decided to try a natural birth, as a child of this size and [with] the excess weight of the mother, a cesarean section would have been associated with significant risk," Professor Holger Stepan, director of obstetrics at the hospital, said in a statement released by the hospital and translated into English.
C-section can be risky for both the baby and the mother. The risks to the mother include the following: inflammation and infection of the membrane lining the uterus, increasing bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, wound infection, surgical injury and increased risks during future pregnancies. The risks of a C-section to the baby include: breathing problems and surgical injury.
Dr. Katherine Economy, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, told ABC News that she thought the choice to deliver vaginally was very "unusual."
"I think it would be very, very unusual to not deliver via cesarean because birth injury risk is high," Economy said. "[We] tend to be very cautious with babies like this. We would have assembled team of experts and said a few Hail Marys."
Why is Jasleen so big? The hospital notes that the mother was suffering from undiagnosed gestational diabetes, which caused Jasleen to be born heavier than normal. During pregnancy, many women develop gestational diabetes (usually during the 24th week of pregnancy). Due to gestational diabetes, the baby gets more energy that it needs to grow and develop. This extra energy is stored as fat.
Is Jasleen the new world record holder for the heaviest baby at birth? According to the Guinness Book of World Records, that title belongs to Anna Bates of Canada who gave birth to a 23-pound 12-ounce baby boy in 1879.
Was going with a natural birth instead of a c-section a good idea? Sound off in the comments section.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Congress authorized the FDA to create a new pathway for the approval of copies of next-generation biologic drugs that are already approved and on the market. These copies, called biosimilars, are near-reproductions of a biologic drug, and if manufactured safely they can expand access to life-saving, life-enhancing medicines. However, a small difference in manufacturing process or in the cell line can alter the molecular structure between an original product and its biosimilar copies. Even slight variations could result in serious health implications for patients. So, how would you feel about replacing your drugs with biosimilars?

Good Place to Stay
We just returned from a 3 night stay at this hotel. What a pleasure is all I can say! For the price we paid, I couldn't have expected more.
The kitchen was such a nice thing to have in the room and the staff was pleasant. The shuttle to Universal was convient, although we did have one problem with one of the drivers but that was immediately taken care of. All in all, a clean and safe place to stay.
And the dirt goes on . . . .
My mother and I checked into the Sierra Suites and immediately I knew there would be problems. There was mold growing out of the shower seams. It looked as though no one had washed under the rim of the sink since the hotel was built; the bed looked slept in; there was debris under the kitchen cabinets and under the bathroom vanity; there was debris on top of the heater (I never said anything about this to see if someone would clean it - they didn't) and they cleaned the shower once since we checked in (we were there 9 days). I even had to buy my own dishwashing detergent because half the time they forgot to leave some.
A truly horrible experience and when I complained to the central office, they sent me a three day gift certificate - as though I'd stay there again!
A Great place to stay!
We have recently returned from an 11 night stay at the Sierra Suites and loved it! It is situated just off i-drive which makes it much more peaceful. We were greeted by a real friendly lady on reception when we arrived and even when the staff changed from day to day each of them were just as friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are fab-very spacious and clean with every amenity you could ask for(kitchen area with huge fridge/freezer, toaster, hob, dishwasher etc T.V/VCR, Huge beds, plenty of storage) Everywhere in the hotel was kept spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great,constantly topped up-all you need for grab and go. The pool was lovely and warm, which is great this time of year.
We also felt more secure here than at other properties we have stayed at because all corridors are internal, and to access any doors leading into the property you have to have a room key. We will definately be staying at the Sierra Suites in the future and recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a central Orlando base. (Oh, there is even a video vending machine so you can make use of your in room VCR!)
We enjoyed our stay!!!
We really enjoyed our stay last week at Sierra Suites. The staff were very nice. The rooms were very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location was great. Just minutes from Universal Studios and many great restaurants. The children enjoyed the clean pool. We did not like the feather pillows but that is our own preference. Other than that, we would stay here again when we return to Orlando.
Great plus for the price
We wanted to stay someplace affordable and close to Universal Studios.
This place was great. It was clean, affordable and no smells!! The staff was very nice. I would definately come back!
Loved it
I have recently returned from a 2 week stay in the Sierra Suites, Pointe Orlando, and would recommend it to anybody wishing to stay in the International Drive area. The Staff are effecient and friendly and will do all they can to help their guests. The rooms are spacious and clean and the pool area is immaculately maintained. The hotel itself is ideally situated in a quiet spot off I-Drive, within walking distance to the shops and cinemas of Pointe Orlando, even the rooms next to the pool area are quiet. Would recommend this hotel without hesitation.
It was a blast, five thumbs up!!!
Sierra Suites at Point Orlando was home away from home. I am the assistant chairperson for my choir and we just returned home from our visit to Orlando. I write on the behalf of the thirty-four persons who were in our group, and we found that hotel passed every one's expectations. Our choir travels every year on vacation and after our stay to Sierra Suites, it will be hard for me to arrange next year's trip to meet 50% of the Sierra Suites experience and standard. Thank you for a wonderful hotel which enhanced our vacation.
Made the trip to Orlando pleasurable!!!
We couldn't ask for more--we stayed for 5 nights here and everything was up to par--staff was accommodating, suites were exceptionally clean, even with a kitchenette..they even turn on the dishwasher for you!! for the price we paid, we were satisfied overall--hope to see more sierra suites in other cities as well!!!
Great prices - Even over Easter. Great location. Close to parks and other fun things to do. We had 2 kids, age 4 and 6, and we found it easy to go back to our suite during the day and rest and then go back to the parks at night. We loved being able to make our own food to bring in to the parks also. Pool was kind of cool but when it is 80 degrees it felt good!!! Pleasant staff, very accommodating to our requests.
An absolut pleasure
We stayed in the Sierra Suites last July and are going again this year. It was a pleasure. The rooms were clean, bright and spacious. The staff were lovely and spoke; they were on hand to help. Breakfast was always ready for your self-service, being topped up all the time. The outdoor area was clean and spacious. We had a brilliant holiday there, wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you.

A scrap-less taping system for IC lead-frames includes two tape supplies fed to a web of formed lead-frames. Right-angled segments of tape are cut from the strip of tape and applied to two adjacent sides of the leads of the lead-frames.
1. In a scrap-less taping system for taping the leads of integrated circuit lead-frames formed as units on a continuous web of material, said material being intermittantly fed in a given direction of movement through a plurality of work stations, the steps comprising: feeding a first strip of tape from a first supply thereof to a first work station; removing a first right-angled segment from said first strip of tape and applying said first segment to a lead-frame wherein said first segment secures two adjacent sides of said lead-frame; and feeding a second strip of tape from a second supply thereof to a second work station and removing a second right-angled segment from said second strip and applying said second segment to said lead-frame wherein said second segment secures the two adjacent sides of said lead-frame opposite to the sides secured by said first segment.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said first and second tape supplies are positioned on opposite sides of said material, transverse to said direction of movement.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein said first and second strips of tape are fed to said material at an angle other than 90� with respect to said direction of movement of said material.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein said angle is 45�.
This invention relates to the manufacture of integrated circuit (IC) lead-frames and more particularly to a taping system employed in the manufacture of such lead-frames. Still more particularly, the invention relates to a scrap-less taping system.
IC lead-frames are multi-connector units usually formed by stamping processes utilizing a continuous web of material. The various connector elements usually remain attached to the parent web until the connector elements are mounted and fixed into an electrically insulating housing.
Because the connector elements are quite fragile and are usually connected to the parent web at only one of their ends, it is not an uncommon practice to employ a taping procedure whereby small, rectangular pieces of tape are applied to the lead-frame adjacent to the loose ends of the connectors.
One basic method of achieving the taping involves feeding a strip of tape from a supply thereof to an appropriate position over a lead-frame and cutting a rectangular strip from the center of the tape and applying it to the lead-frame. This method provides a great deal of scrap which must be taken up by another spool.
Another method, which is scrap-less, removes a segment of tape that is the full width of the strip; however, in order to tape a lead-frame on four sides; i.e., where the tape segments form a hollow rectangular or square, four tape supplies are needed: a system which is quite complicated and expensive.
It is, therefore, an object of the invention to obviate the disadvantages of the prior art.
It is another object of the invention to enhance the taping of the lead-frames.
Yet another object of the invention is the provision of a scrap-less taping system that is simple and inexpensive to use.
These objects are accomplished, in one aspect of the invention, in a system wherein the leads of integrated circuit lead-frames are formed as units on a continuous web of material, the material being intermittantly fed in a given direction of movement through a plurality of work stations. A first strip of tape is fed from a first supply thereof to a first work station. A first right angled segment is removed from the first strip and applied to two adjacent sides of a lead-frame. A second strip of tape from a second supply is fed to a second work station where a second right-angled segment is removed and applied to the two adjacent sides of the lead-frame opposite the sides secured by the first segment.
This procedure effectively secures all four sides of the lead-frame, yet employs only two tape supplies and feeds. The system is scrapless and is much more economical than previous systems.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the taping arrangement in an embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a plan view of an alternate embodiment.
For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further objects, advantages and capabilities thereof, references is made to the following disclosure and appended claims taken in conjunction with the above-described drawings.
Referring now to the drawings with greater particularity, there is shown in FIG. 1 a scrap-less taping system 10 for taping the leads 12 of IC lead-frames 14 formed as units on a continuous web of material 16. Material 16 can be any suitable electrically conductive material formed by stamping; photo-chemical etching; or other processes.
The web material 16 is fed in a given direction of movement, e.g., the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, by means not shown, through a plurality of work stations.
At a first work station 18 a first strip of tape 20 is fed from a supply 22 thereof, e.g., a spool 24, to a position above a lead-frame 14 and a first right-angled segment 26 is cut therefrom and applied to two adjacent sides of the lead-frame, thus securing the loose ends of the leads.
At a second work station 28, which can be next in line in the direction of travel of web material 16, a second strip of tape 30 is fed from a supply 32 thereof, to a position above the lead-frame 14 previously worked upon, and a second right-angled segment 34 is cut therefrom and applied to the to remaining adjacent sides of lead-frame 14 which are opposite to the sides secured by the first segment 26.
This simple process secures all of the loose lead ends and holds them in a planar fashion which greatly enhances subsequent operations to be performed on the lead frames. All four sides of the lead frames are taped using only two work stations and, except for the start up operation, the system produces no tape scrap.
In a preferred form of the system 10 the two tape supplies, 22 and 32 respectively, are positioned on opposite sides of material 16, transverse to the direction of travel and are fed to material 16 at an angle of other than 90�, with 45� being preferred.
An englarged view of the tape application is shown in FIG. 2, wherein it is seen that the first and second segments (26, 34) overlap at only two opposite corners 36 and 38 (shown by shade lines in FIG. 2.)
While the lead-frames 14 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 present a substantially square format, the invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 3 a right-angled segment 40 of rectangular configuration can also be provided by this scrap-less taping system.
While there have been shown and described what are at present considered to be the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made herein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Deliquescence is a process of self dissolving.
Deliquescent is an intimate journey and because of its abstract quality it allows for multiple interpretations I welcome the viewers to give it their own emotional meaning.
It's an exploration of the drama which is implicit in slow motion footage.
Slow motion has the intensity of holding your breath, it's loaded with emotional expectations and fear. In slow motion, fascinating and unexpected shapes are revealed to the naked eye.
Sometimes in life we have the impression that time freezes, for instance, before diving off a high cliff into the ocean looking down, or during a car crash.
During the film two models, who are at times fighting the natural force of water, and other times are immersed in it, give the film a human quality and are given a cathartic role.
The soundtrack is a collection of sounds of nature mixed with electronic samples and the sound of heartbeat and breathing.
We borrowed clothes from Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, Hussein Chalayan and Basso and Brooke. The makeup was provided by MAC.

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?
