It was our first time organizing a conference, and we did it on short notice, about four months. Where we didn't know what to do, we mostly made it be like PyCon: 30-minute talks, 10 minutes between talks, a few opportunities for lightning talks, etc.
Judging from the #openedxcon tweet stream, and from talking to people afterward, people seemed to really like it.
I gave part of the edX keynote, and as usually happens when I give a talk, there are things I know I am going to say, and things that seem to just pop out of my mouth once I get going. I was showing two examples of long-tail Open edX sites, and making the point that edX would never have put these particular courses online itself. I said,
It's not open source until stuff starts happening beyond our reach.
But it got tweeted as:
"It isn't open source until stuff starts happening that is beyond our control." - Ned Batchelder @OpenEdX #openedxcon
How meta: I say something, then the community turns it into something else, beyond my control! This was widely re-quoted, and was repeated by our CEO at another edX event later that week.
There's a difference between "beyond our reach" and "beyond our control." Not a huge difference, but I was talking more about reach at the time. But maybe that's a sign that things really are working, when it is beyond your control, and it's still good. Just like I "said."
And Open edX is going well: there are about 60 sites running 400 courses, all over the world. EdX has as outsized goal of educating a billion students by 2020, and Open edX will be a significant part of that. The 160 people at the conference were excited to help by running their own sites and courses. The conference was a success, even the parts beyond our control...]]>
He's made a really compelling pitch video, so even if you don't think you're going to give money, at least go and watch it to see how cool my son is... :)
These are not advanced lectures, they were intended for a general audience, and Feynman does a great job inhabiting the world of fundamental physics. He's clearly one of the top experts, but explains in such a personal approachable style that you are right alongside him as he explores this world looking for answers, following in the footsteps of Newton and Einstein.
If you've never heard Feynman, at least dip into the first one if only to hear his deep, thick New York accent. He also is witty: he places the French Revolution in 1783, and says, "Accurate to three decimal places, not bad for a physicist!" It's disarmingly out of character for an intellectual, but Feynman is the real thing, discussing not just the basics of forces and particles, but the philosophical implications for scientists and all thinkers:
I converted the videos to pure audio and listened to them in my car, which meant I couldn't see what he was drawing on the blackboard, but it was enlightening nonetheless. Highly recommended: The Character of Physical Law.]]>
I enjoy these things, and I don't get paid for them. But if you want to help me out, here's how you can: my son Max is in his last semester at NYU film school, which means he and his friends are making significant short films. These films need funding. If you've liked something I've done for you in the Python world, how about tossing some money over to a film?
Max will be doing a film of his own this semester, but his Kickstarter isn't live yet. In the meantime, he's the cinematographer on his friend Jacob's film Go To Hell. So give a little money to Jacob, and in a month or so I'll hit you up again to give a lot of money to Max. :)]]>
The big new feature is support for the gevent, greenlet, and eventlet concurrency libraries. Previously, these libraries' behind-the-scenes stack swapping would confuse coverage.py. Now coverage adapts to give accurate coverage measurement. To enable it, use the "concurrency" setting to specify which library you are using.
Huge thanks to Peter Portante for getting the concurrency support started, and Joe Jevnik for the last final push.
Also new is that coverage.py will read its configuration from setup.cfg if there is no .coveragerc file. This lets you keep more of your project configuration in one place.
Lastly, the textual summary report now shows missing branches if you are using branch coverage.
One warning: I'm moving around lots of internals. People have a tendency to use what they need to to get their plugin or tool to work, so some of those third-party packages may now be broken. Let me know what you find.
Full details of other changes are in the CHANGES.txt file.]]>
So I made the kits and pushed them to PyPI. I used to not do that, because people would get the betas by accident. But pip now understands about pre-releases and real releases, and won't install an alpha version by default. Only if you explicitly use --pre will you get an alpha.
About 10 minutes after I pushed the kits, someone I was chatting with on IRC said, "Did you just release a new version of coverage?" Turns out his Travis build was failing.
He was using coveralls to report his coverage statistics, and it was failing. Turns out coveralls uses internals from coverage.py to do its work, and I've made big refactorings to the internals, so their code was broken. But how did the alpha get installed in the first place?
He was using tox, and it turns out that when tox installs dependencies, it defaults to using the --pre switch! Why? I don't know.
OK, I figured I would just hide the new version on PyPI. That way, if people wanted to try it, they could use "pip install coverage==4.0a1", and no one else would be bothered with it. Nope: pip will find the newer version even if it is hidden on PyPI. Why? I don't know.
In my opinion:
So now the kit is removed entirely from PyPI while I figure out a new approach. Some possibilities, none of them great:
Software is hard, yo.]]>
For a variety of reasons, it's hard to watch an hour-long video. I'd prefer to read the same content. But it isn't available textually. For my own talks, I produce full text as part of the preparation (for example, the Unicode sandwich talk).
I've even transcribed other peoples' PyCon talks: Stop Mocking, Start Testing, and Speedily Practical Large-Scale Tests. It was a good way to ensure I actually watched them!
People put slide decks up on SlideShare, but decks vary wildly in how well they contain the content. Some simply provide a backdrop, which is entertaining during a talk, but useless afterward.
Is there some way we can pool efforts to get more talks transcribed or summarized? Surely others would like to see it done? And there must be people eager to contribute in some way who could spend the time? Does something like this already exist?
I know the full talk, with the real speaker really speaking to me, is the best way to get their message. For example, Richard Feynman's series The Character of Physical Law just wouldn't be the same without his accent and delivery. But if the choice is reading a lengthy summary or not getting the message at all, I'll definitely take the summary.
Or maybe I'm an old codger stuck in text-world while all the younguns just want video?]]>
I can't tell you how proud this comic makes me. Ben has always been a naturally talented artist, but this is a quantum leap up in technique and execution for him. Also, it's a really sweet story.
I've been writing about Ben's progress as an artist here for a long time:
Now at 16, Ben continues to amaze me with what he can do. In the robot movie post, I said, "I've always tried to encourage their creative sides, and they haven't let me down." Still true.]]>
If the pull request is from a branch in the same repo, you can just check out the branch by name:
$ git checkout joe/proposed-feature
But you might not remember the name of the branch, or it might be in a different fork. Better is to be able to request the code by the pull request number.
The first technique I found was to modify the repo's .git/config file so that when you fetch code from the remote, it automatically pulls the pull request branches also. On GitHub, pull requests are at refspecs like "refs/pull/1234" (no, I don't really know what refspecs are, but I look forward to the day when I do...) Bert Belder wrote up a description of how to tweak your repo to automatically pull down all the pull request branches. You add this line to the [remote "origin"] section of your .git/config:
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
Now when you "git fetch origin", you'll get all the pull request branches, and you can simply check out the one you want with "git checkout pr/1234".
But this means having to edit your repo's .git/config file before you can get the pull request code. If you have many repos, you're always going to be finding the ones that haven't been tweaked yet.
A technique I liked better is on Corey Frang's gist, provided by Rico Sta. Cruz: Global .gitconfig aliases for pull request management. Here, you update your single ~/.gitconfig file to define a new command that will pull down a pull request branch when you need it:
copr = "!f() { git fetch -fu ${2:-origin} refs/pull/$1/head:pr/$1 &&
git checkout pr/$1; }; f"
(That should all be on one line, but I wanted it to be readable here.) This gives us a new command, "git copr" (for CheckOut Pull Request) that gets branches from pull requests:
$ git copr 1234 # gets and switches to pr/1234 from origin
$ git copr 789 upstream # gets and switches to pr/789 from upstream
This technique has the advantage that once you define the alias, it's available in any repo, and also, it both fetches the branch and switches you to it.
BTW: finding and collecting these kinds of shortcuts can be daunting, because if you don't understand every bit of them, then you're in cargo-cult territory. "This thing worked for someone else, and if I copy it here, then it will work for me!"
In a few of the aliases on these pages, I see that the commands end with "&& :". I asked about this in the #git IRC channel, and was told that it was pointless: "&&" joins two shell commands, and runs the second one if the first one succeeded, and ":" is a shell built-in that simply succeeds (it's the same as "true"). So what does "&& :" add to the command? Seemed like it was pointless; we were stumped.
Then I also asked why other aliases took the form they did. Our copr alias has this form:
"!f() { command1; command2; }; f"
The bang character escapes from git syntax to the shell. Then we define a shell function called f with two commands in it, then we call the function. Why define the function? Why not just define the alias to be the two commands?
More discussion and experimentation turned up the answer. The way git invokes the shell, the arguments to the alias are available as $1, $2, etc, but they are also appended to the command line. As an example, let's define three different git aliases, each of which uses two arguments:
ee1 = "!echo 2 is $2 stop; echo 1 is $1 stop"
ee2 = "!echo 2 is $2 stop; echo 1 is $1 stop && :"
ee3 = "!f() { echo 2 is $2 stop; echo 1 is $1 stop; }; f"
When we try these, the first does a bad thing, but the second and third are good:
$ git ee1 one two
1 is one stop
2 is two stop one two
$ git ee2 one two
1 is one stop
2 is two stop
$ git ee3 one two
1 is one stop
2 is two stop
The second one works because the ":" command eats up the extra arguments. The third one works because the eventual command run is "f one two", so the values are passed to the function. So the "&& :" wasn't pointless afterall, it was needed to make the arguments work properly.
From previous cargo-cult expeditions, my ~/.gitconfig has other aliases using a different form:
ee4 = !sh -c 'echo 1 is $1 stop && echo 2 is $2 stop'
ee5 = !sh -c 'echo 1 is $1 stop && echo 2 is $2 stop' -
These do this:
$ git ee4 one two
1 is two stop
2 is stop
$ git ee5 one two
1 is one stop
2 is two stop
(No, I have no idea why ee4 does what it does.) So we have three odd forms that all are designed to let you access arguments positionally, but not get confused by them:
cmd1 = "!command1 && command2 && :"
cmd2 = "!f() { command1; command2; }; f"
cmd3 = !sh -c 'command1 && command2' -
All of them work, I like the function-defining one best, it seems most programmery, and least shell-tricky. I'm sure there's something here I'm misunderstanding, or a subtlety I'm overlooking, but I've learned stuff today.]]>
Python has a handy way to iterate over all the elements of a sequence, such as a list:
for x in seq:
But if you've only learned a few basic things, or are coming from a language like C or Javascript, you might do it like this:
i = 0
while i < len(seq):
x = seq[i]
i += 1
(BTW, I did a talk at the PyCon before last all about iteration in Python, including these sorts of comparisons of techniques: Loop Like a Native.)
Once you learn about the range() builtin function, you know you can loop over the indexes of the sequence like this:
for i in range(len(seq)):
x = seq[i]
These two styles of loop are commonly seen. But when I saw this on Stackoverflow, I did a double-take:
i = 0
while i in range(len(seq)):
x = seq[i]
i += 1
This is truly creative! It's an amalgam of the two beginner loops we've already seen, and at first glance, looks like a syntax error.
In fact, this works in both Python 2 and Python 3. In Python 2, range() produces a list, and lists support the "in" operator for checking element membership. In Python 3, range() produces a range object which also supports "in".
So each time around the loop, a new range is constructed, and it's examined for the value of i. It works, although it's baroque and performs poorly in Python 2, being O(n2) instead of O(n).
People are creative! Just when I thought there's no other ways to loop over a list, a new technique arrives!]]>

Amazon to sell Microsoft Windows Vista (RED)
by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/09/2008 11:40 AM | Source | 0 comment(s) ]
Previously only available preloaded onto Dell notebooks, Microsoft's version of Windows Vista branded under the Product (RED) global charity in support of AIDS research, the software by itself will begin shipping via Amazon starting on December 15th. The operating system on Dell's notebooks included six unique wallpapers, a screensaver, two sidebar gadgets and a Dreamscene, some of which are expected to be included in this standalone version as well, although Microsoft's product page indicates that two new wallpapers are included in the software.
The software is available for pre-order now, priced at nearly $220, or $20 less than Microsoft's retail price for the regular Vista Ultimate operating system, but $70 more than Amazon's sale price of the software. Students can buy the software via Microsoft's Ultimate Steal site for $65.

21 Claims. (I819) The invention relates to apparatus for the production of thin-walled plastic articles and particularly those having a beaded edge, more particularly in the form of an edge bead of substantially circular cross-section, by deep-drawing thermoplastic or like material in foil or strip form.
This application is a continuation-in-part of applicants copending parent application Serial No. 771,864 filed November 4, 1958, now matured into United States Letters Patent No. 3,115,677 dated December 31, 1963.
In that parent application there is disclosed an overall apparatus and process wherein a series of operations comprising preheating, shaping, cooling and punching the pieces from a strip or band of plastic material is carried out as each length of the strip is moved stepwise through the apparatus. In that process and apparatus the thermoplastic strip is fed into one end of the apparatus, and the finished workpieces are continuously collected and extracted at the other end.
The parent application, more specifically discloses an apparatus wherein there is arranged in succession a strip pre-heating station, a shaping station, a cooling path, a punching out station, and a device for collecting and forwarding the punched out shaped workpieces. In the shaping station a shaping tool adapted for deep drawing deformation work is displaceable vertically with respect to the preheated strip being formed, and it acts to deep draw and shape the band so that the shaped pieces are formed integrally in the thermoplastic strip. The present invention includes other embodiments and improvements in this direction.
After shaping the band with the shaped workpieces therein is drawn through a special cooling path which is of a length approximately equal to one feed step through the shaping station, but the cooling path may be shorter by about 0.5% to 1.0%. This cooling path is of adjustable length.
In the present invention the preheating station apparatus, the subsequent shaping station apparatus, the cooling station, and the associated process steps acting on the thermoplastic strip, are preferably exactly as disclosed in said Serial No. 771,864 (Patent No. 3,115,- 677) for many aspects of the present invention, and the invention herein is directed mainly to the apparatus according to said aplication and certain variations thereof herein disclosed in detail whereby to specially shape and punch out the shaped workpieces from the strip with externally peripherally curved rims thereon.
In the present invention special shaping structure steps will be described for the automatic and accurate forming of workpieces wherein the rims are externally and reversely curved, or headed over, as well as associated punching and carry away arrangements.
The present invention also includes a novel association of the shaping, punching and conveying apparatus for high speed continuous automatic production and collection of articles formed from relatively thin sheets of material which becomes deformable when heated.
To form beaded-over edges in thick-walled cylindrical workpieces made of a thermoplastic material, such edges being of circular cross-section, it is already known to introduce the cylindrical parts by their terminal edges into a heated shaping tool which uses the lengthwise pressure applied to the workpiece to head over the terminal edge thereof. This step can be used on thick-walled cylindrical articles but it is of no use for articles of any other shape, because lengthwise pressure applied to the article would rather tend to compress the same than to bead the edge thereof.
To enable workpieces of any shape and of reduced wall thickness to be given a beaded edge of clean appearance and circular cross-section, the invention proposes apparatus wherein that edge of the workpiece which it is required to bend is as far as possible prepared and bent while the workpiece is being shaped and remains integral with the strip, and is cut to size in preparation for being headed over when the workpiece is cut out of the said strip, and the prepared and bent-over part of the edge is placed on a thrust surface as abutment for beading over the still untreated but cut-to-shape part of the edge.
The invention prevents any force being applied to the workpiece while the edge is being beaded over. The beading step can therefore be carried out on workpieces of any shape rapidly and without any risk of damage.
The actual beading-over step can be performed in any way compatible with the material of which the workpiece is made. Very advantageously, the still untreated but cut-to-shape part of the edge may be beaded over by a stamping step with heating. According to one very advantageous embodiment of the invention, the preparation and bending-over of the workpiece edge is performed during the shaping of the workpiece in a vacuum deep drawing step in which a shaping tool descends upon a heated strip of material, the same sagging after the fashion of a sack. Conveniently, when extenders are used, an air cushion is formed, during workpiece shaping, between the heated sagging strip of plastic and the shaping tool, and the extenders, together with the workpieceforming parts of said plastic strip, are advanced into such air cushion and into the mould cavities only to such an extent that the plastic strip remains out of engagement with those parts of the shaping tool which prepare and bend the edge parts of the workpiece. Advantageously, while the workpiece is being shaped, those regions of the strip of material which will subsequently form the edge parts of the workpiece are pressed against the bottom surface of the shaping tool, for instance, by compressed air.
The continuous production of workpieces having a beaded edge can be performed more particularly by an apparatus in which an evacuable shaping tool is provided which can be lowered onto the heated sagging strip of material and which comprises, on the edge of its shaping cavities, projecting shaping parts for that part of the workpiece edge which it is required to prepare, and this shaping device is followed by a punching-out device in which at least one adjusting elmcnt is associated with each of the blades cutting workpieces out of the plastic strip and cutting the untreated edge parts to shape, such adjusting element-s engaging into the prepared part of the workpiece edge and releasing the punching knife only when the workpiece and the prepared edge part has been accurately aligned relatively to said knife, and means for receiving the punched-out workpieces and for placing the same on the thrust surface following the punching device. Advantageously, to facilitate the removal of the shaped strip of material from the shaping tool, and more particularly to facilitate the pulling away of the preshaped edge parts from the shaping tool, an ejector plate is mounted in the shaping tool for vertical movement relatively thereto and i depressed by spring means. The cutting of the untreated edge part exactly to shape can be perworkpiece surface and which is keyed thereto and which is drawn out to form an edge part beyond the cutting edge of the punching knife, such edge part being engagea'ble in the prepared part of the workpiece edge and, by its width, determining the cut-to-shaped width of the untreated part of the workpiece edge. 3
As apparatus'for the production of a completely round edge on thin-walled workpieces, more particularly drinking cups, prepared by vacuum deep-drawing, there is suitable more particularly an apparatus wherein the thrust surface for the prepared part of the workpiece edge comprises a trestle which bears the workpiece and which may or may not provide subsequent shaping of the semi-circular edge part following the workpiece wall, and the stamping tool comprise a ram which is adapted to'move relatively to the workpiece and to the trestle and which bends the workpiece outer edge-Le, the untreated edge part of theworkpiece-in the opposite direction to such relative movement. This stamping device can be used for continuous workpiece production. Alternatively, it can be used for the subsequent production of a completely round edge on the workpieces where the previous treatment which the same has had is substantially as in the process according to the invention. The characteristic feature of such treatment is that the workpiece comprises a prepared edgepart which follows the workpiece wall and which is continued outwards by a still untreated butcut-to-shape edge part. r
Preferably, in the stamping device according to the invention, where the ram engages around the workpiece, the inner operative surface of the ram is subdivided into a conical entry zone, a slightly concial guiding zone which follows the entry zone, and a shaping zone which corresponds to the required edge shape and which follows the guiding zone. The operative surface of the ram is heated at least in the guiding zone and in the shaping zone. In one embodiment of the stamping device according to the invention, which can readily be included in the production line but which can, if required, be very satisfactorily used for subsequent treatment of the workpieces, a, row of workpiece-receiving trestles can beplaced in a ring on a rotating tray, and a corresponding number oframs can be provided above the tray, the rams co-rotating with the trestles but being adapted to be moved vertically, for instance, by means of a rollway. Conveniently, to associated this design of the stamping device witha punching device which cuts a number of shaped workpieces simultaneously from a strip of material in a single step, means which receive the workpieces and which place the same individually on the trestles are interposed between the punching device and the trestle-bearing rotating tray. For instance, the tray can be associated with compressedair blowing devices which are adapted to place the Work-pieces on the trestles and to blow the finish-treated workpieces oi the trestles.
In another embodiment ofthe stamping device accordmg to the invention, which can very readily be directly incorporated in the production line, the trestles are disposed in groups on a rotating dished member and there is provided for all the trestle rams which all the groups oftrestles pass by seriatim. Conveniently, each trestle group is adapted in trestle arrangement to the arrangement of the knives in a punching device for simultaneously punching out a plurality of workpieces, and the rotating dished member so extends below the base of the punching device that the punched out workpieces pass directly to the treatles through apertures in the base of the punching device. To ensure that the workpieces are placed on the trestles reliably and accurately, lengthwise movable sucking and guiding fingers extend vertically upwards through the trestles and are moved to their highest position to pick up the workpieces and place the same onthe trestles and are then lowered from such position. Guiding fingers which extend upwards through the trestles are prOVided to lift the finished workpieces off the trestles and transfer them to further conveying means.
Advantageously, further conveying means comprise a porous plate which can be moved 'alternately over that group of trestles and that conveying belt which bear the finish-treated workpieces, such plate being connected to a chamber which is emptied at intervals.
It is a major object of the invention to provide a novel apparatus for punching and handling shaped articles wherein punching mechanism for cutting a plurality of the shaped articles from a sheet of plastic material is disposed in novel association with arrangements for conveying away and otherwise handling the articles.
A further important object of the invention is to provide a novel apparatus for shaping articles in a preheated length ofplastic material, punching the articles out of the strip and forming beaded peripheral edge rims on the articles. v

The punching-out station 1 4 as shown in FIGURE 2 involves a punching-out machine, the punching platform 220 of which is disposed below the cutting die carrier 212, the said platform being provided with apertures 221 through which the punched-out shaped workpieces descend. For the upward and downward movement of the cutting die carrier 212 and the cutting tools 223 connected thereto, a hydraulic operating device is provided with hydraulic cylinders 215. Upper and lower connecting pipes 216 and 217 of the cylinders 215 are connected by way of a control valve 210 to an oil presure reservoir 219. A collecting and forwarding device 105 for the punched out articles is located below the platform 220.
Ejection means cooperating with said cutting tools 223 are provided as disclosed in my U.S. patent application 771,864, (now Patent No. 3,115,677), for operation, said ejection means being connected by way of control valves 231 and 232 to a vacuum device 233 and a compressed air supply 234, respectively.
For the ejection of the punched-out shaped articles 201, the air valve 232 is opened for a short time. In order to return these ejection means to their initial position, the valve 232 is closed and for a short time the valve 231 is opened, so that the air contained in the ejection means is removed by suction.
FIGURES 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the collecting and forwarding device for the punched-out shaped workpieces 201. In this embodiment bar-shaped collecting elements 301 are provided which are mounted on a common carrier 302 and are displaceable therewith vertically. For this purpose the carrier 302 is mounted on piston rods 303 of a pneumatic operating device which is disposed below the carrier and comprises compressed air cylinders 304 which are connected in parallel and are connected to a compressed air supply 305 by way of a control valve 306.
The collecting elements 301 project upwards from the carrier 302 through guide apertures in a collecting platform 307 disposed below the punching platform 220 and also through the apertures 221 in the punching platform 220. The length of stroke of the pneumatic operating device 303450 3 is so calculated that in the bottomrnost position of the carrier 302 the upper ends of the collecting elements 301 are flush with, or below, the upper surface of the collecting platform 307.
As FIGURES 3 and 4 show, the carrier 302 for the collecting elements 301 consists of a frame which is formed of tubes 309, and is provided with a connecting pipe 310. The collecting elements 301 likewise are tubular and are mounted in the tubes 309. The passage 311 6 in the collecting elements 301 opens into the passage 312 of the tubes 309, and the upper end of the passage 311 in a collecting element 301 opens into the middle of a suction cup 319 mounted on the element. The suction cup 319 is made of elastic material, for example rubber. A vacuum device 315 is connected, by way of a control valve 314 and the connecting pipe 310, to the carrier 302.
An ejecting device is provided for forwarding the punched-out cup-like workpieces 201 which have been guided by the collecting elements 301 onto the collecting platform 307. The ejecting device (FIGURES 1 and 2) comprises an ejecting plate 321 which is displaceable horizontally over the collecting platform 307. The ejecting plate is provided with an actuating device, for example, a bellows 322 made of rubber or some other elastic material, which is connected by way of a control valve 323 to the vacuum device 315 and to the compressed air supply 305. The valve 323 is provided with a control lever 324, which is constantly urged upwards by a spring 325. In the upper position of the actuating lever 324 the bellows 322 is connected to the vacuum device 315, whereas in the lower position of the lever 324 the bellows is connected to the compressed air device 305. The lever 324 is so positioned that it is pressed downwards by the carrier 302 for the collecting elements 301 when the said carrier reaches its lower end position.
During operation, the carrier 302 with the collecting elements 301 is normally in the lower end position. As soon as the conveying device has advanced the plastic band 114 by one feed step, the actuating valve 306 is changed over and thereby the carrier 302 and the collecting elements 301 are lifted by a very small amount which is sufficient to allow the lever 324 to switch over the valve 323 to connect the bellows 322 to the vacuum installation 315. As a result of this the extended bellows 322 is contracted and the space above the collecting platform 307 is freed for the collecting elements 301 which pass through the surface of the collecting platform 307 and through the apertures 2-21 in the punching platform 220 from below into the shaped workpieces 201 and bear with their suction cups 313 against the under faces of the said workpieces. A vacuum from the vacuum device 315 through the valve 314 is applied to the suction cups 313 which attach themselves securely to the under faces of the shaped workpieces 201. As soon as the punching operation described hereinbefore has been concluded to punch the workpieces out of the strip, the valve 306 is changed over and the carrier 302 with the collecting elements 301 is lowered. As soon as the shaped workpieces 201 have been placed on the collecting platform 307, the valve 314 is shut off and the connection between the suction cups 313 and the shaped workpieces 201 is broken. The collecting elements 301 then sink below the collecting platform 307.
As soon as the carrier 302 reaches its lower end position, it again operates the valve 323 with its lever 324 and connects the bellows 322 to the compressed air supply 305. The bellows 322 expands and the plate 321 pushes the shaped workpieces 201 along the platform 307 onto a distributor 330. The distributor 330 comprises a rotating disc 331 which is driven by a motor 332 by way of a reduction gear 333. The disc 331 carries centrally on its upper face a cone 334, and there also is a defending plate 335 fortransferring the punched-out shaped workpieces 201 to an elongated conveying device which comprises at its front end conveying rollers 341 which are driven by the motor 332 by way of gearing 342. The rollers 3 5-1 transfer the shaped workpieces 201 to a platform 351 of a second punching device 350. The second punching device 350 is constructed substantially in the same manner as the first punching device 104, but has only a single punching element 352, provided with a single cutting die, which trims all the workpieces 201 to exactly the same size. An electric motor 353 with a reduction gear 354 connected thereto is provided for operating the second punching device 35%. The'reduction gear 354 is preferably an infinitely variable gear in order to permit adaptation of the operation of the punch 352 to the travelling speed of the distributor 336. I The gear 354 carries at its output side an eccentric 355 which is mobile on the upper end of the operating push rod 356 of the punch 352. Disposed about the push rod 356 is a spring 357 which urges the punch 352 into its upper position. 7
The shaped workpieces 201 are forwarded from th rollers 341 by a feed means, known per se and not shown, to the punching platform 351 and thence after the second punching operation to a conveyor belt 361; The waste material produced at the second punching device 356 is removed from the punch 352 by a device, known per se, which is not shown.
It is to be noted that the second punching device 350 is only to be put into operation when the workpieces produced are to be trimmed to size with great precision. This is the case more particularly with precision articles and workpieces which are intended for example for delivery to automatic machines. It should be borne in mind that when the second punching device 35% is in operation, the punching cylinders 223 of the first punching device are so selected that an appropriate rim of material is left on the workpieces 2% for subsequent trimming.
From the second punching device 350, the workpieces travel over the conveyor belt 361, and are tested for shape and quality.
, At the end of the conveyor belt 361 is situated a defleeting device 362 containing a deflecting plate 363 which provides a tripping edge 354 at its upper end. The Workpieces 201 arriving at this tripping edge 364 are tilted over thereby and travel head first through the deflecting device 362 into a pack 365. A counting device 366, known per se, which is illustrated diagrammatically, can be arranged between the pack 365and the deflecting device 362.
FIGURES 5 to 8 show a modified embodiment of the collecting and forwarding device= for the punched out shaped workpieces 201. In this embodiment the punchi-ng outdevice 104 has the same structural features as they have been described in my U.S. patent application 771,864. Therefore the same reference numbersrelate to the sarne parts as they are shown in the said patent application. In the embodiment of FIGURES 5 to 8 the punched out workpieces fall vertically down through openings 221 in the punching platform 220 onto the collooting and forwarding device. warding device comprises a continuously driven conveyor belt 440 in subjacent position to the punching platform 220 as schematically shown in FIGURE 6. A receiving cage 441 is provided in the space between the conveyor belt 440 and the punching platform 220, said cage consisting of crossing metal sheets 442 fixed within a frame 443 and providing for as many receiving compartments as openings 221 are provided in the punching platform 220. Said frame 443 is conneetedfor upward and downward movement through piston rods 44-5 with hydraulic cylinders 444 similar to the hydraulic cylinders 215 of the punching device. Upper and lower connecting pipes 446 and 447 of the cylinders 444 are connected by way of a control valve 443 to an oil pressure reservoir 449.
In operation the falling down workpieces are received by the compartments of cage 441 ensuring upright positioning of the workpieces onto the conveyor belt 440*. Whenthe workpieces 201 have been collected onto belt 440 and have been stabilized in upright position the cage 441 is moved upwardly and the workpieces 201 are released to travel with the conveyor belt 440. In order to avoid that the workpieces fall over during the upward movement of the cage 441, said upward movement should be sudden as a jerk.
As may be seen from FIGURE 5, the workpieces 261 are moved along deflecting sheet walls 450 and 451 in Said collecting and for-.-.
.orderto put them in on line. If necessary the belt conveyor'r'nay comprise a first belt subjacent to the punching platform 220 and a' second faster driven belt in the region of the deflecting plates 459 and 451. At the end portions of the belt conveyor discharge means are provided at the side edge of the belt. Said discharge comprise a rotating disc 452 having teeth 453 and between these teeth 453 rounded edge portions 454 adapted to the shape of the workpieces. A guiding plate 455 is fixed to the conveyor frame below said discharge disc guide. A guiding wire 456 surrounds the disc 452 in a space adapted to the diameter of the workpieces 201. By this guiding wire 456 such workpieces which are not properly en gaged by the discharging disc 452 are thrown back onto belt 44d in order to be. conveyed to a container 457.
Disc 452 and-conveyor belt 440 are driven by an electrical motor 458 through gear means 459.
As may be seen from FIGURES 5, 7 and 8 a special treatmcnt station may be followed to the discharge disc 452, to provide for rounded end portions 460 of the workpieces 2tll. Said treatment station involves a rotating disc 461 carrying form sockets 462 onto which the punched out workpieces are fed by the discharge disc 452 through an opening 463 in the'guiding plate 455. An additional heated shaping member 464 is provided for each form socket 462 and is mounted for the same rotation movement as its form socket'462but at the same time for upward movement with respect to the form socket 462. Therefore a guiding disc 465 is fixed to the carrier disc 461. The upward and downward movement of tool 464 g is controlled by stationary guiding rails 466 within which guiding rollers 467 of the forming elements 464 are running. The additional forming tools as shown in FIGURE 8 consist of a tool head comprising at its inner surface a conical entrance zone 47% a slightly conical directing zone 471 and a rounded forming zone 472. The tool head 468 is further provided with electrical heating means 473. In the additional treatment station further pressure air means 474463 are used to press the workpiece 201 onto its form socket 462 during the feeding action and to discharge the workpiece from said station. In operating the workpiece 251 falls through the opening 463 of the guiding plate 455. At the same time pressure air valve 476 is opened by an actuating nose 477 of which is attached to each form socket 452 and cooperating with an actuating rod 478 of valve 476. Pressure air is blown through nozzle 475 from above onto the workpiece 201 to press it onto said form socket 452. As soon as nose 477 leaves rod 478 during the rotataion of discs 461 and 465 driven by driving means 479 through a driving pinion 486 and a gear ring 481, valve 476 closes. tion of the said discs 461 and 465 tool 464 is lowered by the guiding rails 4&6. Thereby the conical zone 470 of the inner tool surface comes in contact with the outer I edge of the rim 482 of the workpiece 201 and during con- 'tinued lowering down of the tool 464 the said rim 482 is time a second actuating nose 484 each one of which'is attached to each form socket 462,*cornes in contact with the actuating rod 485 of a second air valve 486. A compressed air jet is blown by nozzle 437 through a bore 488 into the hollow part of the workpiece 201, said workpiece 2531 being blown thereby through the discharge conveyor belt 489. I
Counting means 4% may be used at said discharge conveyor belt 489 as well as collecting means 491 for the During the further rotaworkpieces 2G1. Said collecting means may comprise deflecting plates 491 and a discharge door 492 which is controlled by the counting means 490 in order to collect a desired number of workpieces 201, for example fifty pieces, and to introduce them into a container 493.
Referring to FIGURE 9, group A, the shaping of the workpiece starts by the preparation of an edge part 2 which immediately follows a wall 1 of the workpiece, and an untreated edge part 3 is provided which immediately follows the edge part 2. The part 3 is immediately followed by the material of a plastic strip 4 fromwhich the workpiece 1 is produced. As is clearly apparent in views a, b and c, the edge part 2 should be prepared and bent as far as possible. The extent to which this should be done depends upon prevailing conditions, for instance, the nature of the material, the shape of the workpiece 1 and so. Without being intended to limit the extent to which the untreated edge part 3 can be bent inwards, group A of FIGURE 9 illustrates three cases which are possible with the process according to the invention. Referring to case a, the untreated edge part 3 still projects outwards from the workpiece. In the process according to the invention the part 3 can readily extend even more outwards. Case b is the critical case in which the untreated edge part 3 extends vertically. Finally, in case c the untreated edge part 3 inclines towards the workpiece. In the embodiment illustrated the untreated edge part 3 extends substantially parallel with the conical workpiece wall 1. The extent to which the edge part 3 can incline inwards is limited by the resilient deformability of the shaped material, i.e., the inward inclination of the part 3 can be effected to such an extent as the resilient deformability of the material makes it possible to remove the workpiece from the mould readily.
The punching-out and cutting-to-shape step is diagrammatically illustrated in FIGURE 93. As can be seen, the cut-to-shape part is with advantage so placed that the transition between the strip of material and the untreated edge part 3 is severed with the waste. In case a of group A such a cut can readily be performed. In cases I) and c, an aligning arrangement 5 associated with a knife 5 can place the untreated edge part 3 so far outwards, because of its resilient deformability, that the knife 5 can reliably cut the edge part 3 to the required size.
Finally, group C shows the operation of the stamping device. The prepared or preshaped edge part 2 is guided accurately on a trestle 7, while a descending mould S is first being exactly centered, by means of the entry zone 9 of its operative surface, in relation to the cut-to-shape untreated edge part 3, whereafter the guiding zone of the mould operative surface engages With the terminal edge of the part 3 and presses the same increasingly inwards. Those parts of the untreated edge part 3 which are engaged by the said guiding zone are already heated so that there is no possibility of any creasing. The untreated edge part 3 is therefore introduced reliably into the shaping zone 11 of the operative surface, so that the untreated edge part 3 is shaped cleanly. As a comparison between the three illustrations d, e and 1 will show, the only result of increasing the amount by which the untreated edge part 3 is bent over is that the same engages later with the guiding zone 11! of the moulding tool 8. In any case, the result of introducing the untreated part 3 into the moulding tool accurately and cleanly is that the edge of the finished workpiece has exactly the shape for which the tool 8 is designed.
Consequently, to carry out the process according to the invention workpieces must be produced which have a preshaped edge part 2 following the workpiece wall 1, and an untreated edge part 3 following the preshaped edge part 2. Accordingly, in the shaping device diagrammatically illustrated in FIGURE a shaping tool 122 is provided which is adapted to descend on a heated plastic strip 121, the same sagging at 128 after the fashion of a sack. The shaping tool is mainly a negative mould with mould cavities 123. The same communicate through ducts 124 with a chamber 125 connected to an evacuating device. At the bottom edge of the mould cavities 123 ring-like mould parts 126 (FIGURE ll) are provided which project beyond the bottom surface of the shaping tool 122. In the embodiment illustrated, the surface parts of the underside of the tool 122 which lie between the annular arcuate in cross section projections 126 communicate through ducts 127 with the chamber 125 in order that, when the articles are being shaped, the heated strip material may be engaged by the external air pressure with the bottom of the shaping tool 122 near the projections 126 and in order that the annular arcuate in cross section projections 126 may be simulated in the shaped strip.
Shaping proceeds as follows: the material strip 121, before entering the region below the shaping tool 122, is so heated that it sags after the fashion of a sack as shown at 128 and over a length corresponding to shaping tool length. Such length also corresponds to one feeding step of a conveyor 129. After such a feeding step has been performed, the shaping tool 122 is lowered until it engages with the edge parts of the sagging part 128 of the strip and, due to its downward movement, forms an air cushion between the sagging strip 121 and the mould cavities 123. Simultaneously, a rectangular clamping frame 13% is pivoted upwards to provide an air-tight closure and clamping between the edge of the tool 122 and the edge parts of the strip part 128 which is to be shaped. To provide additional elongation and pressing of the strip, the air cushion can be increased by an excess pressure or a negative pressure being produced one or more times in the chamber 125. For shaping, the chamber 125 is evacuated and, as can be seen in FIGURE 10, the plastic material of the strip 121 deforms and is closely applied to the surface of the cavities 123, to the projections 126 and to the flat parts between the projections 126. The plastic material cools immediately it contacts the shaping tool and, as it cools, sets. The tool 122 is then raised and workpieces 131 integrally preshaped in the strip 121 result, as can be seen on the righthand side of FIGURE 10.
A variant of the shaping device is illustrated in FIG- URES ll and 12. In the device illustrated in FIGURES l1 and 12, the heated and sagging plastic strip is acted upon not only by the clamping frame 139 but also by extenders 132 which are operative upwards. The extenders 132 are so moved as to advance, together with the sagging strip 121, into the said air cushion; the same therefore first tends to press the plastic strip against the surfaces of the extenders 132. The chamber 125 comprises an outlet 133 and valve means 134 to vary the air cushion effect and more particularly so to control the air cushion that none of the plastic strip 121 engages pre maturely with the projections 126. An ejector plate 135 is mounted in the shaping tool 122 and, as can be seen more particularly in FIGURE 12, is mounted for movement vertically of the tool 122 and is depressed by springs 136. Consequently, when the tool 122 descends, the ejector plate 135 first engages with the external frame or" the strip part 128 to be shaped, thus ensuring that the air cushion can be applied and formed gently. The springs 136 are stretched as the tool 122 continues to descend. After the clamping frame 131 has been pivoted into operation, the extenders 132 are advanced to a position in which the strip material is still just out of engagement with the mould projections 126, whereafter the chamber 125 is evacuated so that the strip material is drawn into the mould cavities 123. The strip material is engaged with the bottom of the ejector plate 135 through the agency of ducts 127, 137.
The mounting of the plate 135 in the tool 122 can be seen in FIGURE 12. The edge of the mould cavities 123 is shaped to form a number of annular parts 138. Between the rings 138 substantially the entire undersur-

A current discussion within the district deals with the development of charter schools. A statewide initiative passed in November 2012 allowing 40 charter schools in public school districts by 2017. Superintendent Shelley Redinger has advocated the creation of charter schools since her appointment in 2012 and the district applied to the state to develop authorized charter programs.[6] The Washington State Board of Education approved Spokane as the first district with charter school authorization powers on September 11, 2013.[7]
About the district
- See also: Spokane Public Schools, Washington
Spokane lags behind state averages for median income, higher education achievement and poverty rate. The percentage of city residents over 25 years old with undergraduate degrees (29.2%) is below the state average (31.4%). The 2010 U.S. Census calculated Spokane's median income at $41,466 while the state median income was $58,890. Spokane had a poverty rate of 18.6% in the 2010 U.S. Census while the state rate was 12.5%.[8]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one or two tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[11]

Justin Bieber on Sex: Wait for Love!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Justin Bieber is a man now. So he states in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.
As such, the singer touches on manly subjects in his interview with the magazine. Sex, for instance.
"I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them," Bieber says, later pressed on whether this means one should save oneself for marriage and replying again: "I think you should just wait for the person you're... in love with."
Bieber, of course, has stated how much he loves Selena Gomez. So you do the math.
Justin is the latest teenage icon to go into detail with his views on sex. Earlier this year, Miley Cyrus referred to the act as beautiful.
What do you think of these young celebrities discussing the subject? Fair game? Or a case of TMI?
Tim: I'm not a Bieber fan but to you and all those idiots who find it so easy to accuse someone of being gay I say prove it! By the way I'm by no means a gay person but it irks me when people say shit that they know no one can prove. Grow Up!
JOY: Apparently you've just discovered all these fancy words to make people think you're intelligent. I understood exactly what you were trying to say and it all sounded racist to me. By the way there is no word in the english language that is called "subverversion". You were trying use the word "subversion"right? The way you phrased your sentences sounded like you didn't learn much in your english class. There were other things you did wrong but I think you got the point. You get a D-in the english language.
so true. nice tips but, michael trevino's dad got his dick cut off having rough sex with taylor kinney. michael trevino got his dick cut off having rough sex with jason agron.josh bowden got his dick cut off having rough sex with kevin whalen.
that's right...I think too Justin's got some pretty respectable views on things.
I think he's absolutely right. Justin's got some pretty respectable views on things.
I know if I was famous I would want my sex life shared with NO ONE. Sex is a beautiful thing that should be shared with two human beings who love each other and should not be discussed with anyone but the two people involved in the relationship.
I was in love with that chick I nailed when I was 16, for 15 minutes...
Damn y r u all saying he's gay?! cuz u r all just so freacking jealous of him becuz all the girls are.. in love or have a crush on him. btw m not having a crush or falling in love with him, and m not a fan xd
Dude is gay.All these dudes are hiding because it will ruin the career.They hide of fear.But its safer to accept them.I dont want kid sleeping or marrying a dude on dl who does crap on dl.

M-Dot - Eastcoast Points
Artist: M-Dot
Featuring: King Magnetic, Chaundon, Cymarshall Law
Producer: Reckonize Real, cuts by ToneDeff Cutz
Album: Money Doesn't Own Thought
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 20 votes )
If you're familiar with the names involved in Eastcoast Points, you know exactly what to expect: pure, uncut underground excellence, with a Northeastern flair. This epic ensemble cut, the inaugural leak off M-Dot's forthcoming street album, finds the Boston-based freestyle alum and a few of his dopest region-mates hooking up to flaunt their mic-wrecking skills over a brassy, boom-bap beat by Reckonize Real (complete with scratches by ToneDeff Cutz). After the headliner's opener, which features a downright dizzying streak of internal rhymes ("Your flows are old, I froze the foes, oppose the pros, I throw the blows to nose, I rose and chose to hold the souls of those who flow."), Allentown native (and freestyle alum) King Magnetic and Hall of Justus emcee Chaundon (another freestyle alum) jump aboard to lace the cut with their own brand of braggadocious fire. Cymarshall Law (you guessed it, also a freestyle alum) rounds out the lineup, closing proceedings on a cleverly unhinged note. Craving more? Keep it locked for the latest on M-Dot's Booth-sponsored Money Doesn't Own Thought mixtape, coming soon.

The day's events will culminate with a ticketed dinner that will include the combined talents of several local chefs, farmers and purveyors, as well as the welcomed presence of National Geographic Fellow and Barton Seaver. Chef Seaver will guide conversation about what "sustainable seafood" means and how we can engage in restorative culinary practices for the improved health of our body, land and ocean.

Im proud of you my good man.
New Looks, New Atmosphere.Great Mod!
Yay! Great News!
no more bears. :(
This kind of priests makes religion look bad. Faith is good. But not those who abuse it.
Yes it gives people hope to not give up. But Atheist thinks like it too. Faith isn't a bad thing right? Its just how people would wield it good or bad.
You don't understand do you? im not pondering atheist, theist, agnostic people. What i say is could you be different from both sides? Did you do good to your comuunity without the influence of both? How do you know that every religious person could kill for their gods? Did all of them believe in God? or did they join just for fun?
Im saying is that whether your religious or an atheist do not become those who did fail because they just like doing it. Put in mind that there are people that you're going to step into and how are you going to change both sides instead of flaming each other into submission. Remember that each is there for reasons(im sure you dont want to hear because its totally a long typing thing and i don't wanna type any longer than the last time and also confusing because it wont answer everything) so they need to balance other sides just don't be violent when it comes. K? Simple words Do Good to other people
@Spudman619 - That's what im expecting you people to say, reduce the religion balancing it like good and evil, everything should be balance. It's just that in internet they(atheist, most of them) force people to believe that god didn't exist and those(people that believe in god) always say that god is there. My imagination if this people ever meet in real life they would slap each other's face coz the other thinks its best what they believe into. and why they don't join forces for the better good of other people what they believe. They are still no change in belief's. Like im expecting a direct answer from wind that wont be answered unless we die or its our end. Its so useless of why ive even post this comments and opinion like no one was really going to understand what im trying to say.
B.A.L.A.N.C.E. - They both exist so that other can do what is best for another. Have respect and do good to other people instead of something we really all cant answer in just 1 post or 1 lifetime.
Come on, Counter my opinion. :)
Hi Everyone good to see there's something like this in this website. I've enjoy watching people argue about gods, deities and does that does not believe in God, im not an Atheists neither Anti-theist not also Agnostic. But for me im always open for everything if that will keep me good and being good and having a normal life is what i really want. Fulfill myself is just it is. Do good for the people also to myself is what i believe too. But lets not talk bout that right now.
From what i've seen bout this text some believe in that there are gods, others like want no gods and those who want to be gods. But What to really believe? From my eyes Atheist are making something like religious Cults, Etc. and spreading their words like most of religions. And those who believe in god they just don't got those answers from supernatural happenings in our surrounding. But that doesn't make sense did you guys really what is happening? In my opinion its history is what it is doing again. Beat each others senses, disrespecting ones opinion to another how they should lead a life. No sense at all.
What i say is why can't you let the other believe what they believe into and have a life and also not to be rude to them? Help them in physical not through mental, psychological aspects? I mean what really does Atheist to make a good community? what about that Theist? Like i said above why knock each others out when you really can do better on both sides? Its all about how you live your life of a limit of 100 years and that's it. Change the world where even if its short because the world in the mind only changes.
Im so not confused just amaze how people and what people thinks.
I say Live your life to the fullest and not to be those who died sad.
