This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to means for supporting the work during printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like operations.
Difiiculties have for a long time been experienced in satisfactorily forming designs, lettering or other markings on an article by means of a printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like operation involving the pressing of a stamp, die, type or the like onto the surface of the work concerned unless indeed the surface of the work is parallel to the face of the said stamp, die, type or the like. The usual procedure in cases where the article is of conical or tapered form is to employ packing or the like on the bed of the press so that the article is supported in a position in which the surface concerned is disposed in the required position. This procedure is open to various objections .not only because of the difficulties involved in carrying out the required setting-up operation but also because a single setting-up operation will not sufiice for a series of similar articles unless indeed such articles are of a precision nature in the sense that they are of exactly similar shape and dimensions. If for instance the articles are in the nature of massproduced articles made from wood, such as brush handles, then it is almost certain that each individual article will require a different settingup operation.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method of and means whereby printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like operations can be quickly and easily carried out even when dealing with work of tapered, curved or irregular form and a further object is to provide simple, inexpensive and eflicient apparatus which greatly increases the range of articles which can be satisfactorily treated in a printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like machine.
According to one feature of the present invention there is provided a work support suitable for use in conjunction with a press for carrying out printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like operations, said work support comprising a platform, jig or the like adapted to accommodate the work concerned, and a mounting for said platform, jig or the like, said mounting comprising an abutment with which said platform, jig or the like is adapted to make rockable engagement.
According to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a method of subjecting an article having a curved or inclined surface to a printing, pressing, embossing, transfer or like operation wherein said article is positive- 1y but rockably supported so that under the application of pressure to said surface the article is moved automatically into a position in which the surface to be treated is disposed in a position, parallel to or substantially parallel to the surface of the'stamp, die, type or the like employed in carrying out the said operation.
The above-mentioned abutment may be permanently or removably located on the bed, platen or the like of a pressor it may be mounted on a base, plate or the like for application to such bed, platen or the like, and the abutment itself may be of various different forms and provide either for rocking movement of the platform, jig or the like about one axis only, e. g. an axis extending transversely or longitudinally with respect to the press concerned, or for rocking movement in all directions. abutment may for example comprise a bar of cylindrical or semi-cylindrical form or a series of coaxial bars of cylindrical or semi-cylindrical form, and in the latter case such abutment may be of spherical or semi-spherical form.
If desired resilient means, e. g. one or more springs, may be provided for resiliently urging the abovementioned platform, jig or the like into a position parallel to the support for the abutment.
The aforesaid abutment may itself be of a resilient nature if desired. Thus for instance one or more springs may be located between the abutment and the platform, jig or the like and/or between the abutment and the support therefor.
It is desirable to provide means for opposing any inadvertent lateral or longitudinal sliding movement of the platform, jig or the like with respect to the abutment and for this purpose the former may be provided with any suitablerecess, recesses or the like for engagement by the abutment and/or any suitable guiding means may be associated with the abutment-support for engagement by the platform, jig or the like throughout its range of movement, such guiding means being .adjustably mounted if desired so that various different platforms, jigs or the like can be accommodated and/or so that the position of the platform, jig or the like can be adjusted.
If desired, the abutment may be adapted to be engageable with the platform, jig or the like and/or with the support for the abutment in various different relative positions, so that the fulcrum formed by such abutment is brought under various different parts of the platform, jig or the like with or without change of the position of the platform, jig or the like'relative to the support atoresaid.
In the former case the In order that the present invention may be well understood, we will now describe, by way of examples only, some specific embodiments of the invention; with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a work support embodying the invention, in assembled condition;
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the work support of Fig. 1, in a partly dismantled condition;
Figure 2A is a sectional view of a part of the work support of Figs. 1 and 2, in assembled condition;
Figure 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but of a modified embodiment of the invention; and
Figure 3A is a sectional view of part of the embodiment of Fig. 3 in assembled condition.
Referring now to Figures 1, 2, and 2A, a lower platen l of a press carries a plurality of spring retaining clips 2 secured to the platen l by setscrews 3. along the sides of a rectangle, and restrain from horizontal rotary or sliding displacement a platform 4. At corresponding points on the upper surface of the platen I and the lower surface of platform 4 are recesses or depressions 5, the surface of each recess 5 being in the form of a zone of a sphere. All the recesses 5 have the same radius of curvature. In one recess 5 of the platen l is placed a spherical ball 6 which also seats in a corresponding recess 5 in the platform 4, forming an abutment to support said platform, and the radius of curvature of this ball is eoual to that of the recesses 5. Compression sprin s 1 are disposed in bores 2 in the top surface of the platen I and su port the corners of platform 4, so that the platform is resiliently urged towards a position parallel to the platen.
It should be noted that the depths of recesses 5 should be s ch that a gap is left between facing surfaces of platen l and platform 4, as indicated at a in Figure 2A. This will be accomp ished if the central depth of each recess 5 is less than the common radius of curvature of e cesses 5 and ball 6.
The construction above described allows the platform 4 to pivot about the abutment formed by the ball the extreme angle of tilt ossible being determined. inter alia, by the dimension a and hence by the depth of recesses 5. Such pivotal movement may be about any hor zontal axis pass ng throu h the centre of the ball 6.
When the press whose lower p aten carries the above work support is to be used, for exam e. for embossing a series of cricket bats, a suitable cra le is atached to or rested upon the upper surface of p atform 4. Th s cradle wi l be adjusted horizontally so that the centre of the part of t e bat to be embossed lies su stantially vertically over the ball 6, which will be placed in whichever of the recesses 5 a pears most convenient. Upon lowering the embossing die of the press, if such die does not meet the bat face souarely, the first contact between die and bat will exert a turn ng moment. which causes rotation of the platform about ball 6 until the face of the bat is parallel on to the face of the die, when the turning moment will become zero and the rotation will cease. Continued downward movement of the die will then produce an even impression on the face of the bat. It will be seen that, as successive bats are embossed, variations of dimensions or shape between individual bats will not affect the quality of the impressions obtained as the support will always rotate automatically to the optimum position.
The retaining clips 2 are disposed It will be noted that although automatic adjustment of the position of the article being embossed is made, nevertheless a positive support is provided to oppose the pressure of the embossing die.
Figures 3 and 3A show a modified embodiment of the invention, particularly adapted for use when variations in dimensions of the articles being embossed or otherwise treated may be compensated. by rotation about one fixed horizontal axis. In this embodiment, the arrangement of platen I, clips 2, set-screws 3, platform 4, springs l and bores 8 is similar to that of the embodiment of Figs. 1, 2, and 2A. However in place of re cesses 5 and ball 5 we employ longitudinal and transverse grooves [5, any desired one of which grooves may accommodate a rod it of cy1indrical form. The centre of the part of the work to be embossed will be arranged substantially vertically over the axis of rod 16, and appropriately disposed for enabling the platform to rock int-3 a position to bring the surface to be marked into a position parallel with respect to the die. The operation will be precisely similar to that described fo the embodiment of Figs. 1, 2, and A.
In some instances it may well be difficult to determine the most convenient location for the ball or rod it, as the case may be, solely by inspection. It will then be found convenient to set up the Work support with the ball or rod in a position selected by inspection, and to make one trial impression on an article. If the impression obtained is not even, the ball or rod should be moved one recess or groove towards the lighter part of the impression. Alternatively, if the article is supported in a cradle on the platform, this cradle may be moved towards the heavier part of the impression. Such procedure may be repeated if necessary until a satisfactory result is obtained.
It will be seen that a work support has thus been provided which greatly facilitates embossing or like operations on articles of a non-precision nature and/or irregular shape. Various modifications are possible without departure from the scope of the invention. For example. where it is only desired to allow rotation about one horizontal axis, the embodiment of Figure 2 may still be used, but by the insertion of two similar balls into appropriate recesses the rotation will be limited as desired. Similarly, in the embodiment of Fig. 3 the rod may be in two sections separated by a projection attached to platform 4, thus assisting in the limitation of sliding movement of the platform relative to the rod. When it is desired to emboss a series of precision made articles and to eliminate the rotation of the platform while effecting such embossing, it is only necessary to insert three or more balls (or two or more rods) to obtain the desired condition, while yet maintaining the platform at normal height above the platen.
It will be apreciated that the disposition of the recesses or grooves will be governed solely by the variety of articles with which it is desired to operate, or that such recesses or grooves may be omitted from either or both the platform and platen or other base member. Alternatively, either the platen or the platform could be provided with both recesses and grooves, enabling one or more balls or a rod to be used at will.
I claim:
1. A work support for presses or the like, comprising a base having a plurality of spaced recesses in its upper surface, a platform space-d above said base and having a plurality of recesses in its lower surface, said recesses in said base and platform being arranged to provide a plurality of spaced pairs of opposed recesses, and a separate rigid element removably positioned in a selected pair of opposed recesses, said element constitutinga fulcrum means suporting said platform spaced from said base for limited rocking movement relative thereto.
2. A support as defined in claim 1 wherein each of said recesses is in the form of a spherical zone and wherein said separate element is a sphere.
3. A support as defined in claim 1 wherein said recesses are elongated in the direction of said surfaces and wherein said separate element is a cylindrical rod.

We reserved a king size bed, checked in early and were told all they had was double beds. Hotel was dated and could use a refurbish. TV reception was terrible. Also too pricey plus had to pay for parking. Think you would be more comfortable at a cheaper newer hotel chain. Only stayed there because of the LA County Fair.

Plot Summary
Tris Prior is a 16-year-old girl living in a futuristic dystopian Chicago where all the people in the city have split into five factions: Amity, Erudite, Dauntless, Candor and Abnegation. Each is dedicated to the pursuit of one particular virtue: Amity prizes peacefulness; Erudite prizes knowledge; Dauntless prizes bravery; Candor prizes truthfulness; and Abnegation prizes selflessness.
As the novel begins, Tris is having dreams of Will, the Dauntless boy she killed during the conflict at the end of the previous book, Divergent. When Tris wakes up, she, her boyfriend, Tobias, their acquaintance Peter (all from the Dauntless faction), Tris' brother, Caleb, from the Erudite faction, and Tobias' father, Marcus, from the Abnegation faction, are on a train that arrives at the Amity compound, where they are seeking refuge from the Erudite.
In addition to Tris and her group, many refugees from Abnegation have come to the Amity compound. Amity members agree to let their headquarters be a safehouse for members of all factions, under the following conditions: No weapons are allowed in the Amity compound, no verbal or physical fights are permitted, and no discussions of the conflict between the factions are allowed. Tris and Tobias are certain that they will not be able to stay long in the Amity compound because, as members of Dauntless, they are not good at avoiding confrontation. Tris also realizes she is already breaking the Amity rules because she is hiding a gun under her mattress, after Tobias encouraged her to keep at least one weapon hidden when they entered the compound.
That evening, Tris follows Johanna Reyes, the leader of Amity, as she goes for a walk with Tobias' father, Marcus, a leader of Abnegation. Johanna is trying to figure out why Jeanine Matthews, the Erudite leader, began an attack on the Abnegation. Marcus refuses to tell Johanna about Jeanine's motivation. He does say that the Abnegation know some sensitive information and that Jeanine was attacking them because of this information. Tris wonders what sort of information could have prompted the Erudite to attack and kill members of the Abnegation. Tobias believes that his father is exaggerating the importance of the information in order to seem more powerful than he really is. Tobias suggests that he and Tris return to the inner city of Chicago and find a way to bring down the Erudite faction.
Tris and her brother, Caleb, have a conversation in which she explains to him why, although she chose to become a member of the Dauntless faction, she is actually a rare personality anomaly called a Divergent. When Tris went through the faction-placement computer simulation that all teenagers take, the simulation decided that she showed Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless characteristics. Tris' test administrator, Tori, warned Tris not to let anyone know that she was truly Divergent because her life might be in danger. Tris' Divergent status also makes her react strangely to any computer simulations she is put into; while most people in a brain-simulation scenario are unaware that they are seeing an altered reality, Tris always knows that she is in a simulation and can sometimes alter the simulation. Tris was immune to the dangerous computer simulation used by the Erudite to turn the Dauntless faction into mindless soldiers, which is why she was able to rescue Tobias when he was mind-controlled.
Marcus suggests to Tris that she and Tobias escort the refugee Abnegation members, himself included, back to the city. Tris meets Marcus privately and asks him about the conversation she overheard between him and Johanna. Tris mentions that her father died back in Chicago, and Marcus confirms that Tris' father died to protect the special information that the Abnegation have been guarding.
Tris continues to have nightmares about killing Will, but she is afraid to tell Tobias or anyone else about what she has done.
The Erudite arrive at the Amity compound, guarded by an escort of armed enemy-Dauntless. Tris, Tobias and all the refugee Abnegation members have to disguise themselves in order to blend in with the Amity, but Tobias is quickly discovered by an enemy-Dauntless guard. A fight breaks out, and shots are fired. Tris is unable to fire her own gun because of her traumatic memory of shooting Will, but Caleb commandeers her gun and protects her from the attacking Dauntless.
In the confusion of the fight, Tobias, Tris and the Abnegation members split up and flee the Amity compound. They escape through the cornfields, fleeing to the city of Chicago. Tris, Tobias and Caleb jump onto a train entering the city and find themselves among the factionless, homeless people who failed to pass the initiation rites for any of the five factions. They are led to a warehouse where the factionless live together. In the warehouse, they meet Tobias' mother, Evelyn, who has long been presumed dead. Evelyn is the leader of the factionless, and she has been keeping track of the Erudite's movements. She invites Tobias to stay and help her lead the factionless, but he is not certain that he wants to join his mother, who abandoned him to his abusive father. Former Dauntless initiate Edward informs them that half the Dauntless faction has joined the villainous Erudite, while the other half is staying with the Candor faction. Almost all of the Abnegation are living with the factionless, outside of their compounds.
Evelyn has been keeping track of the Divergent members of the factionless. Unlike Tris, most Divergent people are unable to join a faction because they cannot embrace only one way of behaving and only one way of viewing the world. Since Divergent people cannot be mind-controlled by the faction-specific simulations of the Erudite, they will be especially valuable soldiers. The factionless are trying to overthrow the Erudite so they can establish a new society without factions. Caleb goes to stay with the displaced members of the Abnegation, while Tris and Tobias go to Candor headquarters to see if they can learn more about the current conflict.
At the Candor headquarters, Tris and Tobias are placed under arrest for unknown reasons. Then they are injected with truth serum so the Candor can learn whether they helped carry out the Erudite's attack on the Abnegation. The truth serum proves Tris' and Tobias' innocence, but under the influence of the serum, Tris also admits to killing Will during the attack.
Tris hangs out with other ally-Dauntless members who are staying at the Candor compound. Suddenly, some enemy-Dauntless soldiers who are working for the Erudite arrive with a new type of gun and begin shooting. Tris is shot with a blue laser beam, which knocks her to the ground. The enemy-Dauntless throw smoke bombs into the room, and Tris notices that all the ally-Dauntless around her have passed out. Tris is unaffected by the smoke, but pretends to be unconscious as the enemy-Dauntless walk in to survey the damage. She waits until no one is looking before putting on the uniform of a fallen enemy-Dauntless.
Tris' Dauntless friend Uriah is also immune to the simulation smoke, which seems to knock out only people who belong purely to one faction. Tris and Uriah begin to search the Candor headquarters for other Divergent people who have not been knocked out by the simulation smoke. It turns out that the enemy-Dauntless are also looking for Divergent people, and they set off the smoke bombs intentionally to find them. Tris gets into a fight with Eric, the cruel leader of the enemy-Dauntless. Eric captures her and places her under guard with several other Divergent. Eric begins to execute the Divergent, but Tris manages to stab him in the chest with a knife she had hidden in her back pocket. After Tris stabs Eric, the enemy-Dauntless scatter and the ally-Dauntless begin to awaken and fight back. Tobias arrives to protect Tris during the fight because, after stabbing Eric, she is in shock and unable to use a gun to defend herself.
Tris learns that Eric isn't dead, and she and Uriah discuss why Jeanine Matthews might be trying to root out the Divergent. They think she wants control of all five factions, and in order to rule them completely, she needs to eliminate all free-thinkers like the Divergent. Tris also concludes that Jeanine has developed a new longer-lasting simulation serum to keep the population under mind-control for an unknown length of time, instead of just a few minutes.
Later that evening, the Candor leader, Jack Kang, says he believes that the enemy-Dauntless and the Erudite are actually on a diplomatic mission, since they killed so few people during their attack. Kang wants to negotiate with Jeanine Matthews, but the ally-Dauntless disagree with his plan.
When people begin to taunt Tobias for admitting that he was once terrified of his father, Marcus, Tobias picks a fight with his father. Tobias punches him and beats him with a belt, as Marcus used to do to Tobias when he was a child. Tris stops Tobias from doing any further damage to Marcus. Tris realizes that the beating was a calculated act on Tobias' part to make the ally-Dauntless respect him because he is seeking a position as their leader. As the Dauntless leader, Tobias hopes to unite with the factionless to overthrow the Erudite.
Tris, Tobias and four other ally-Dauntless eavesdrop on Jack Kang's negotiation with Jeanine Matthews. Jeanine does not show up at the negotiation, but Max, a leader of the enemy-Dauntless, does. Max tells Jack that Candor is a disposable faction and that Jack should follow Max's orders. From Max's strange speech patterns, Tris deduces that Jeanine herself is giving him the words to say by communicating through an earpiece, which means she must be nearby. Tris' friend Lynn shoots Max in the chest, and in the resulting confusion, Tris begins to look for Jeanine. She discovers that Peter has become an enemy-Dauntless and is guarding Jeanine, but she has to let Peter go because one of her friends is injured.
Tris, Tobias and their friends return to the Candor compound, but Tobias has grown increasingly concerned that Tris is trying to get herself killed because she rushes into needlessly reckless situations. Tris argues that she is trying to be protective and sacrificial like her parents were, but Tobias says that her parents sacrificed out of necessity while Tris keeps entering life-threatening situations even when no one needs her to do so.
The ally-Dauntless decide to return to the Dauntless compound and take it back from the Erudite. Tobias is elected as one of the ally-Dauntless' new leaders, and one of his first duties is executing the enemy-Dauntless leader Eric. The ally-Dauntless return to their headquarters. Tris and Tobias go to meet with Evelyn and Edward, leaders of the factionless. They agree to join forces to bring down the Erudite, though Tris feels conflicted about destroying an entire faction.
That night, Tris wakes to find that three of the ally-Dauntless have been put under a mind-control simulation. The mind-controlled people are standing at the edge of a rooftop as if they are about to jump off. Jeanine Matthews uses the voice of one girl to say that a few mind-controlled ally-Dauntless will kill themselves every two days until one of the Divergent delivers themselves to Erudite headquarters. Tris and her friend Christina manage to save two of the ally-Dauntless from jumping, but the third leaps to her death.
Tris decides that she will give herself up to the Erudite in order to spare the Dauntless any more deaths. Tobias is furious at Tris for wanting to give up her life, and she lies and tells him that she does not intend to leave. Tris sneaks out and goes to the Erudite headquarters where Peter becomes her main guard. Jeanine says that they are going to study Tris' brain so they can make a simulation that properly mind-controls the Divergent. After the Erudite have finished studying Tris' brain, she will be executed. Tris is resigned to her own death, but she is angry when Tobias arrives at the Erudite headquarters, saying he wants to die as well.
Tris is put through several mind-control simulations. She is tortured with a terror-simulator so that Tobias will tell Jeanine the locations of the factionless safe houses. Jeanine also reveals to Tris that her own brother, Caleb, is the one who gave the Erudite most of the information about Tris. Tobias fights his guard and briefly escapes with Tris, but he does not try to leave the compound. He and Tris search through the Erudite headquarters to find the control room. Tobias then tells Tris that he did not come on a suicide mission, after all. He was sent to find the Erudite's control room so that the attacking ally-Dauntless could destroy Jeanine's simulation data. He also came to encourage Tris to hold onto her hopes because she will be rescued within two weeks.
After Tris is re-captured, Jeanine tells Tris that she is trying to mind-control everyone in Chicago because there is a threat from outside the city. Tris gets free of her guard, Peter, and scratches Jeanine's face until it bleeds. Jeanine looks at Tris with anger and hatred, which pleases Tris because she feels like she has defeated her robotic enemy by making Jeanine feel negative emotions. Peter tells Tris that her execution has been ordered for the next day.
In the morning, Tris is escorted to her execution room. Jeanine injects Tris with a serum that is supposed to kill her. However, although Tris' heartbeat no longer registers on the monitor and she loses the ability to move, she is still aware of her environment and can hear what is going on around her. Peter wheels Tris' inert body to a room where Tobias waits, and Peter offers to carry Tris while all three of them escape. Peter has arranged for them to get away from the Erudite headquarters by sliding out of the deactivated trash incinerator.
Tobias takes Tris and Peter to the Abnegation sector. Tobias brings Tris to stay in his parents' old house. When they arrive, Tobias promises to be Tris' family now that her parents are dead and her brother is a traitor. The next day, Tris enjoys spending time with the factionless, people who are not trying to define themselves by the pursuit of one behavioral trait. In the Abnegation sector, Tris meets with Marcus, who finally tells her that Jeanine attacked the Abnegation because they were about to publically reveal some information about the world outside of the city. Marcus worries that if the factionless are allowed to completely destroy the Erudite, they may also destroy this important information about the outside world.
The factionless and ally-Dauntless prepare to attack the Erudite. Tris decides to secretly take her friend Christina and help Marcus. Tris and Christina dress like Amity girls so Marcus can smuggle them into the Amity compound. There, they tell Johanna Reyes about the ally-Dauntless and the factionless attacking the Erudite. Johanna and a few of the Amity decide to head toward the battle in order to be peacekeepers, while the other Amity stay behind.
Tris, Marcus, some Amity and some ally-Erudite leave to attack the Erudite headquarters. Tris' brother, Caleb, an enemy-Erudite, threatens her with a gun, but Marcus knocks Caleb unconscious. Tris discovers that the important data about the outside world is actually on Jeanine's personal computer. Tris and Marcus search for it.
Tris enters a room in the Erudite building, and the room produces a simulation scenario. Tris is told that she must reach the blue door within five minutes or she will be poisoned with gas. Tris has to fight a simulation of her own self, which means that she has to find a way to outthink herself. Tris can mentally manipulate simulations, so she imagines a gun for herself to use. Tris has not been able to wield a gun since she shot Will, and now her simulated double transforms into an image of Will. Tris manages to shoot the simulated Will in order to get to the blue door before the poison kills her. Tris finds Jeanine on the other side of the door, but before she can get Jeanine to retrieve the information from her personal computer, an ally-Dauntless leader named Tori kills Jeanine by stabbing her in the stomach.
Now that the Erudite have been overrun, Evelyn announces that all factions will be disbanded since the faction system is flawed. The factionless surround the remaining ally-Dauntless in the Erudite headquarters lobby, dissolving their alliance and capturing them. Tobias enters the Erudite lobby and tells Tris that he persuaded Caleb to find Jeanine's hidden information. The screens in the Erudite lobby begin to broadcast the secret Jeanine wanted to keep hidden.
In the video, a woman named Amanda Ritter explains that she is part of an organization dedicated to justice and peace. She explains that humankind has become so senselessly violent and cruel now that there is no single enemy to fight — the battle is essentially against human nature itself. Amanda says that in order to keep the citizens of Chicago safe, her organization made sure that the factions had their own water and power supply. The organization also set up the faction system, in hopes that the citizens of Chicago would regain the morality that the outer world had lost. Amanda says that over time, more citizens with flexible minds will be born — the Divergent. When enough Divergent exist, the Amity are supposed to unlock the gate to the outer world so that the citizens of the factions may emerge and help the outer world. Amanda says that she, among others, is volunteering to have her memories wiped and replaced so she can become a part of the faction experiment. Amanda says that her new name will be Edith Prior, and the video ends.
Christian Beliefs
Characters say "Thank God" in relief. Tris recalls that as a child, she expected heaven to be full of white light. When Tris is scheduled to be executed, she considers asking for forgiveness of her wrongdoings, but does not specify which supernatural source she would be asking for forgiveness. Tris thinks that there might possibly be an afterlife, but she does not know if it exists nor does she have a defined notion of what it might be like.
The Candor are said to hold religious services in one of their meeting places, but the nature of these services is not stated. A group of Amity is seen clasping hands. They are having a religious service where they mention believing in a God who gives peace. This inspires them to give peace to others, they say. Whether this refers to the one true God is unknown.
Other Belief Systems
The factions seem to believe that humanity's best efforts to be good will eventually result in peace.
God's name is used with for __ sake, what in __'s name, oh and is used alone. The words hell and bastard are also used.
In the first chapter, Tris has a bullet wound in her shoulder, which she received at the end of the previous book. Peter's arm is bleeding from a bullet wound.
Tris has memories of Peter being violent toward her in the Dauntless compound. He once held her over a chasm by holding onto her throat, and on another occasion he slammed her against a wall. When he steals her hard drive, Tris grabs his arm and twists it hard, knowing that this will inflict a maximum amount of pain because of the bullet wound. Tris kicks him in the knee, and he punches her in the stomach.
Caleb shoots a Dauntless man in the knee after the man aims a gun at Tris. Tris meets Edward, a former Dauntless initiate who wears an eye patch, because Peter once stabbed him in the eye with a butter knife. Several members of the enemy-Dauntless are shot to death by the ally-Dauntless, who are living in the Candor compound.
Tris and Eric fight. She stomps on a bullet wound in his foot. Eric slams the heel of his gun into her jaw, which breaks the skin and makes her bleed. Eric pushes his thumb into the bullet wound in Tris' shoulder. Eric shoots an 11-year-old Divergent boy in the head. Tris stabs Eric in the chest with her knife, but fails to kill him.
At the Candor compound, Tobias punches Marcus in the face, causing him to bleed; puts his heel on Marcus' throat to keep him on the ground; then beats Marcus with a belt while saying, "This is for your own good," mimicking the sort of punishments Marcus gave Tobias as a child. Tobias executes Eric by shooting him in the head.
Lynn shoots Max, the enemy-Dauntless leader, in the chest. In the ensuing gunfire exchange, Shauna is shot in the back, which paralyzes her from the waist down. Tris punches Jeanine and scratches her face and throat until they bleed. Various characters are shot, punched, stabbed or knocked unconscious with blunt objects.
Tris and Tobias kiss repeatedly throughout the novel. A Dauntless couple kisses. After Tris wakes up from a nightmare about Will, the boy she shot, she goes to Tobias' room, wearing a nightshirt and no shorts. They share his bed and kiss. Later, Tris kisses Tobias while under the influence of a mood-altering injection, but he quickly stops the affection when he realizes that she is not in full control of her behavior. Tris and Tobias often share a bed. Tobias says that his mother, Evelyn, left his father after she had an affair. A Dauntless girl named Lynn says that she loved a deceased girl, implying that her love was romantic not platonic.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to pre-cuts in fabric, or sizes of just regular cuts, my brain goes to mush. I can't remember. I mix them up…. is a fat quarter 18″? 19″? I usually hold up my hands and think to myself– it's about that size. Right? You, I am sure, remember them much better than I. You can quickly recall to your sewing buddies the right size. If that's you, then please ignore this post. For the rest of us– I have come up with a solution. A little business card that holds all dimensions. You can stuff it into a pocket in your purse or bag and whip it out when the mind fails you. Besides all of the 'fat' sizes, fabric now comes in pre-cuts. There are some super fun ones out there, and now there are tiny ones and triangles! Who would have thought that we don't like the cutting method so much and we are going for quick- so these pre cuts are handy and we love them!
Here are all the sizes- just in case you needed to know what is a fat quarter right now….
Fat quarter 18″ X 22″
Fat Eighth 9″ X 21″
Charm Pack 5″ X 5″
Mini Charms 2 1/2″ X 2 1/2″
Jelly Roll 2 1/2″ X 45″ or Width of Fabric
Layer Cake 10″ X 10″
Turnover 6″ triangle
Honey Bun 1 1/2″ X 45″ or Width of Fabric
One Yard 36″ X 45″ or Width of fabric
Dessert Roll 5″ X 45″ or Width of fabric
Honeycomb Hexagons 6″
Just in case you wanted to know how many squares you can cut from a fat quarter piece- Number of Squares from a Fat Quarter
|2″ squares
|2 1/2″ squares
|3″ squares
|3 1/2″ squares
|4″ squares
|4 1/2″ squares
|5″ squares
|5 1/2″ squares
|6″ squares
|6 1/2″ squares
You can quickly download the file containing the printable here. It is a pdf file and will print off 10 business card sized charts per page. You can easily share all your knowledge with your sewing friends.
Is there anything missing from the list? What else should be on there? Leave me a note in the comments-

Track List
Album Notes
Northern California singer-songwriter Kate Wolf died in 1986 of leukemia. After she was diagnosed, Wolf compiled this two-disc retrospective herself. Skipping 1973's BREEZES, an album on which she wrote and performed the music but didn't sing, and the live compilation GIVE YOURSELF TO LOVE, Wolf assembled a solid collection of her best songs.
Wolf's influences were varied, and these songs range from the bluegrass-tinged "Like a River," to the Joan Baez-like political intensity of "The Sun Is Burning," but most effective are emotionally intimate acoustic ballads like the heartbreaking "Unfinished Life" and the Joni Mitchell-esque "Two Way Waltz." Many albums of unreleased material have appeared since Wolf's death, and Rhino has reissued all of her original studio albums, but GOLD IN CALIFORNIA is the best possible starting point for this underrated singer-songwriter.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 751 reviews
Resort is out of date. Great location and view. Must pay extra resort fee even if you don't use the facilities.
Ok hotel but expensive considering very few services they offer and not very helpful front desk.
Food was unremarkable - Breakfast buffet the same every day, as were the lunch/dinner menus (felt like an all-inclusive in that respect). Many tables in poor condition. Wait times for service were good. The zero-depth sand pool and adjacent heated pool great features, as was the nearby beach (5 min walk from pool area). Property felt a bit run down. Would stay in the nearby Waikoloa Hilton next time.
Overall the Marriott is a modern well-maintained property in a convenient location that offers many amenities such as close self parking, WiFi, 24 hr pool access, beach access (and gear rental), and a very nice hotel gym. We did not try any hotel restaurants, but options are available and there are several more nearby in the shopping centers. My 2 main issues were the "Oceanside" description of my room (great view, but we were on the 5th floor and had to cross through the pool area to reach the beach...definitely an ocean view and convenient, but Oceanside seems to be an overly grandiose term) and the bathroom. There was no separation between the toilet/shower area so it was difficult for multiple people to get ready. Also the wall between the bathroom and bedroom is a window with privacy fabric/paper of some sort. You can't see through, but if anyone uses the bathroom in the middle of the night it lights up the entire bedroom and is very disturbing to anyone who is a light sensitive sleeper. Despite these small drawbacks I would definitely stay here again, especially if I was traveling solo or as a couple.
Very nice. Hotel is being renovated but it was not in our way. We live in the area and this was a short staycation.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

America's Next Top Model Recap: Patricia Field
I don't know about you, but to me, an ANTM makeover can completely change the way I feel about a model. I loved Erin of the short-girls cycle until they gave her albino brows. (No offense to albinos. Erin just looked so much cuter with her initial brunette Emma-Watson look.) A makeover can leave a girl feeling emotionally pancaked. I have a feeling tonight's episode will feature a major meltdown. It's episode three of ANTM, cycle 15! Spoiler alert: the eliminated girl will be revealed at the end of this article.
The girls walk into the house and see Ann's number-one photo onscreen. Ann expresses pride on feeling special, and Lexie expresses her competitive nature via the confessional. Sara shows the other girls pictures of her son. Liz talks about her own daughter.
Terra expresses shame over being in the bottom two and swears she will not be in the bottom again.
Tyra shows up for a surprise visit. She's looking cute wearing a beret, suspenders and orange peep-toe heels. She gets a quick house tour and gives the girls modeling portfolios, but not before giving each girl a hint at her makeover.
Lexie writes down a fake makeover list and "loses" it on the floor of the house. Liz finds her "Hair Agenda" and, thinking it's the real thing, reads the list to everyone. Lexie pretends to cry over what the list says will be her makeover, and Esther looks seriously freaked.
Terra initiates a call home to her mom, which makes it seem like she might be eliminated soon — especially when her sister Chris says, "I don't want her to be eliminated." Terra, remember, already had one meltdown during episode 2′s photo-shoot.
The girls show up at Red Seagull Salon, Matthew Preece to be transformed. Ann gets dramatic, long copper-colored hair. Liz shows attitude during her dramatic, boy-style haircut. Chelsey goes to the dentist, where parts of her front teeth are shaven to make the gap bigger; she will do anything to help herself win. She also gets ice-blond hair.
Sara gets rid of the "beach-girl look" with chocolate-truffle dark hair. She also gets bleached eyebrows. But while she's thinking of her son, the Jays label her presence "lost."
Kendal gets a long, painful weave and looks beautiful a la Naomi Campbell. Kayla reveals that she has a girlfriend who will hate her fiery red hair. But she loves it anyway. Terra, the older, shorter sister, tears up during her haircut. Her sister wishes Terra would just suck it up, and the Jays say she isn't working it one bit. Chris, the younger, taller sister (with the huskier voice), gets a wavy long dark weave.
Esther reminds us (via voiceover) that she is sacrificing her modern Orthodox Jewish religion to be in this competition. Her hair gets cuts and styled to a long black silky, layered look. Jane gets lighter brown hair with some extensions. She looks great and feels fierce. Rhianna gets "super long gorgeous [blond and brown] waves." Kacey gets contact lenses. Lexie gets darker, strawberry blond hair with extensions. Jay Manuel hates Lexie's new hair.
Surprise! Someone will be eliminated based on the makeover. It seems like this is an attitude challenge: how can you handle the makeover? Who had the most "issues?" Jay Manuel cautions the models that they are constantly being evaluated. Terra is eliminated, and surprisingly the thing she laments most is her new haircut, not the lost opportunity. Chris is understandably shocked and shaken by her sister's dismissal.
Ann Menke is photographing the models in a fallen angels-themed photo shoot on a beach in Malibu. The models co-star with male models.
Everyone gets an emotion to go with their black angel attire. This will probably help the judges to evaluate their performance later.
Esther: "fearless;" she does badly (again).
Liz: "power/victory;"she complains constantly during her photoshoot.
Kayla: "evil;" she excels, again.
Sara: "seductive;" she struggles.
Kacey: "rebellious;" she hits on her cute costar, who looks younger than her.
Rhianna: "hopeless;" she does well
Chelsey: "mysterious;" she impresses Ann Melke.
Chris: "heartbroken;" she impresses Jay Manuel and Ann Melke.
Jane: "scorned;" she does well.
Kendal: "desire;" she doens't connect with her word.
Ann: "longing;" she uses her body well.
Lexie: "predatorial;" she is awkward
I realize that Lexie has been shown speaking so often in this episode that she will probably go home. You had to feel sorry for her male model, getting Lexie's foot in his chin.
The girls are tense before elimination, especially mother Sara. In the pre-judging panel, we see Tyra meeting with the other three judges, Patricia Field, Andre Leon Talley, and Nigel Barker. I love Tyra's bright pink lipstick, pink one-sleeved dress, black leggings, and huge curly hair. She looks like a fun Barbie doll.
Strongest photos: Chelsea, Kayla, Ann, Chris
Weakest photos: Esther, Jane, Lexie, Sara, Kendall
Middle of the pack: Kacey, Liz Rhianna
Tyra reprimands the girls who as a whole did not do well. Ann gets best photo again, followed by Kayla, Chelsey, Chris, Rhianna, Liz, Jane, Kacey, Kendal, and Esther. Lexie and Sara are in the bottom two. Lexie's "predatorial" beats out Sara's "seductive." Sara is eliminated based on her amateur-ballet-dancer shot. I didn't feel too upset to see either in the bottom two. I do not expect Lexie to improve.
Best quotes: "I think it's just my personality because it's very hippy-like" (referring to her hair) – Rhianna
"I just don't think it's right. Couldn't they have sent me home before they cut my hair rather than after?" – Terra

Quantum Mechanics by Alistair I. M. Rae
Book DescriptionFor more than 25 years, Alastair Rae's Quantum Mechanics has been one of the most highly regarded textbooks in this area. From elementary atomic physics and mathematics, to angular momentum and time dependence, to relativity and quantum computing, the text shows how cutting-edge research topics of quantum mechanics have been applied to various disciplines. Retaining the clarity of its predecessors, this fifth edition presents revised and updated material throughout the text. It offers a clear exposition of fundamental ideas, additional worked examples of the application of quantum mechanics principles to a range of physical problems, and more information on modern quantum information technology. This text was one of the first to include a substantial discussion of the conceptual and philosophical implications of quantum mechanics, which has been revised and extended in the fifth edition. Other topics covered include one- and three-dimensional Schrodinger equations, angular momentum, time-independent perturbation theory, time dependence, scattering, and relativity. Cementing its reputation as an exceptional introductory textbook, Quantum Mechanics, Fifth Edition fully covers the concepts of quantum mechanics taught in an undergraduate physics course and provides the foundation necessary for other specialized courses.

Comparative distribution, sourcing, and chemical behavior of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in an estuary environment
Howell N.L.,University of Houston |
Rifai H.S.,University of Houston |
Koenig L.,Texas Commission on Environmental Quality TCEQ
Chemosphere | Year: 2011
PCDD/F and PCB field data (1041 samples) in five media (dissolved, suspended sediment, bed sediment, catfish, and blue crab) were studied to explore dual contaminant patterns in the Houston Ship Channel, Texas, USA. PCDD/Fs showed greater concentration than PCBs in suspended sediments while PCBs were higher in apparent dissolved (truly dissolved+DOC-associated), fish, and crab. PCDD/Fs at nearly all locations contributed more strongly to dioxin-like toxicity. The fraction of PCB TEQ was, however, enriched in biotic over abiotic media due in large part to the presence of PCB 126, which was mostly undetected in water and sediment and yet exhibited a BAF three times greater than 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Dissolved-suspended sediment and suspended-bed sediment relationships showed that (1) observed apparent dissolved concentration differences (as fraction of total water were mean 10% PCDD/Fs and 63% PCBs) can reasonably be explained by a four-phase partition model (truly dissolved, DOC-associated, suspended OC, and suspended BC) for PCBs but not for PCDD/Fs and (2) the contaminants behaved similarly in bed to suspended sediment concentration ratios (Cbed/Csusp) upstream of a major confluence but not downstream. PCA-cluster analysis pointed to the possibility that suspended sediment PCB contamination originates from resuspended bed sediment while PCDD/Fs in suspended sediment originates more probably from other sediment sources such as upstream wash load or air deposition. Finally, examinations of a congener marker ratio (PCB 209/206) seemed to indicate that a source of pure PCB 209 may exist in bed sediment near Patrick Bayou though the source was not completely localized. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Science of the Total Environment | Year: 2011
All 209 PCB congeners are quantified in water in both dry and wet weather urban flows in Houston, Texas, USA. Total water PCBs ranged from 0.82 to 9.4. ng/L in wet weather and 0.46 to 9.0. ng/L in dry. Wet weather loads were 8.2 times higher (by median) than dry weather with some increases of over 100-fold. The majority of the PCB load was in the dissolved fraction in dry weather while it was in the suspended fraction in wet weather. Dissolved PCB loads were correlated with rain intensity and highly developed land area, and a multiple linear regression (MLR) equation was developed to quantify these correlations. PCA generated five PCB components with nearly all positive loadings. They were interpreted as DOC-associated A1248, wet weather primarily suspended fraction A1254/A1260 likely from building sealants, truly dissolved-associated wastewater dechlorination, watershed-sourced PCB 11, and monochlorinated PCBs (likely connected to a different state or source of dechlorination). The PCB 11 component was statistically higher in wet versus dry weather when no other component showed such clear distinctions. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) did not always group dry and wet weather samples from the same location together illustrating the different congener composition that often exists between dry and wet conditions. Four wet weather samples from high percentage developed land (> 90%) watersheds had nearly the same fingerprint suggesting a generic "urban" signature in runoff, which in this case was caused by residual A1254/A1260 PCB stocks and currently produced PCB 11 in consumer goods. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Electric Power Systems Research | Year: 2013
In the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) in the USA, to promote cogeneration, there exists a key provision for qualifying facilities to sell the cogenerated electric power to host utilities at a pre-determined price. In this paper, we investigate the economic implications and consequences of this "right to sell" provision. First, under PURPA, we show how the interaction between a cogeneration facility and an electric utility can be modeled as a Stackelberg game, and derive the equilibrium generation quantities, prices, as well as the corresponding profits and total surplus. We next construct a benchmark model under a deregulated environment. By comparing and contrasting these two models, we obtain various results of managerial insights, economic implications, and policy ramifications. For example, under the right to sell provision, we identify the conditions for a qualifying facility's arbitrage to occur. Also, relative to the deregulated benchmark model, we show how the government's right to sell provision may lead to inferior economic performance. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Source
Development of a cancer-based chronic inhalation reference value for hexavalent chromium based on a nonlinear-threshold carcinogenic assessment

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology | Year: 2012
The carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium(CrVI) is of significant interest to regulatory agencies for the protection of public health and to industry. Additionally, the mode of action (MOA) and conditions under which CrVI may induce carcinogenicity (e.g., reductive capacity considerations) have recently been the subject of significant scientific debate. Epidemiological data supported by data relevant to the carcinogenic MOA support considering nonlinear-threshold carcinogenic assessments for comparison to default linear low-dose extrapolation approaches. This study reviews epidemiological studies available in the scientific literature and conducts additional statistical dose-response analyses to identify potential carcinogenic thresholds and points of departure (PODs) in the context of supportive MOA information for a nonlinear-threshold inhalation carcinogenic assessment. Dosimetric adjustments and application of appropriate uncertainty factors (total UF of 30) to the selected cumulative exposure POD results in a cancer-based chronic inhalation reference value (ReV) of 0.24μgCrVI/m 3. This chronic ReV is 300 times higher than the 1 in 100,000 excess cancer risk air concentration of 8E-04μg/m 3 based on USEPA's unit risk factor. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. Source

Supramolecular Hydrogels and High-Aspect-Ratio Nanofibers through Charge-Transfer-Induced Alternate Coassembly†
- †
We thank Prof. C. N. R. Rao for his valuable suggestions, and support throughout this work. We thank JNCASR and Department of Science and Technology, Government of India for financial support. We thank Prof. G. U. Kulkarni for Veeco-lab and FE-SEM facilities. We acknowledge Selvi (FE-SEM), Basavaraj (AFM), and Usha (TEM) for microscopic measurements. K.V.R. and K.J. thank the CSIR for research fellowships.
Gelling together: The alternate coassembly of a noncovalent donor–acceptor (D–A) amphiphilic pair in water results in very long nanofibers that form hydrogels (see scheme). Microscopic and single-crystal studies have provided an insight into the hierarchical self-assembly of the charge-transfer (CT) amphiphile, which consists of coronene and a viologen derivative, into cylindrical micelles and gels as the concentration of the D–A pair is increased.

If you've only got a short time this is an excellent trip to take and well worth the price. The guide, David, knew his stuff and was most personable. I would highly recommend it.
投稿者: Param S , 2016年 9月
Dave provided us a half day exclusive informative tour of Adelaide City, Adelaide Oval, Bradman Museum and the sightseeing Hahndorf German settlement. We had a fabulous time, enjoying his commentary and his effort educate us with his knowledge of Adelaide city. Unfortunately we missed out on the sightseeing of Mount Lofty due to rain and heavy fog on the tour day. It is value for money and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Our drive was very knowledgeable and knew his way around the city and knew little bits of trivia that you might not get from other drivers so glad I went and meet Richard.michaela brown
