Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the long Tridentine phase of Catholic history, the conduct of the Church, faith and praxis was nothing if not demonstrative in its execution, devising, for example, a triumphalist architectural and artistic form, the baroque, that shouted out its advertisements for an apparently ultra-confident creed. The great Council that created the tone of Catholicism over the four centuries that followed it defined the priest in particular as a public exemplar of the faith, a man of unambiguous integrity, stable residence and assured income. In England, as in the Netherlands, in contrast, the practice of the faith was covert, not overt, and priests were men on the run, sacerdotal vagrants, adopting a culture of deceit and disguise that aligned their lifestyles were those of any criminal underground: they used disguises, false papers, encoded language, aliases and fictive personae, employed chains of people-handlers and safe-houses, setting up patterns of behaviour that distanced them (a) from the clerical requirements of the Tridentine Church itself and (b) from assumptions about truth that were becoming firmly embedded in English Protestant culture: Catholicism itself could be presented as an "irreligious art of liing".

(This review is for Dice Production Frame (12 Die) by Sumit Chhajer)
Alright I bought Dice Production Frame (12 Die) by Sumit Chhajer and couldn't find a review for it
so I thought I would put one up. First off I have no experience with similar effects, thus this is
the first time I have used a dice production frame. So I can't compare to anything else, but I will
give you my thoughts on it. Here is a link for a youtube video. I was worried about the video
editing, but read on.
4 of 4 magicians found this helpful.
The reason I found this was I was looking for effects to make into a music section for my kid shows. I thought this would be good a good fit and I loved the colors, which is was my music section is about. The section is very visual and colorful. That was my motivation for buying it. When I first got it out of the packaging, I noticed it came with a carrying case. It is a nice black bag with the logo for the item on it. Functional and I like the fact that it came with a bag. So many effects just come in plastic wrap and leave it to you for storage. The second thing I noticed is that the square tube is heavy. It is wood and I would estimate that it is durable. It was about 5.5 lbs shipped. Third would be it does pack well. In its bag it is 16" wide, 12" tall and 2" wide. It is about The instructions were clear (although it wasn't hard to get the idea once I was in the know). The dice that you produce I would say are a little on the soft side, but I like them and with care should last. After you are done with the effect, loading the dice up was easy (my almost 3 year old daughter helped me). Now the editing of the youtube video made me think twice about buying this, but I will say it only lets out a tiny move that you have to do. Once you know how it is done you realize that it isn't that big of a deal that it was cut, but for the price you think that it should be a continuous shot. That is the basics, now I will give some point values 10 being highest 1 lowest. Quality of Tube : 9/10 Quality of Dice: 7/10 Ease of Use : 8/10 Price : 4/10 or 7/10 Overall: 6/10 or 8/10 I will explain my scores Quality of Tube : I gave it 9/10 because of the heft of the tube. It feels heavy and it solid. Looks good too. Quality of Dice : Thought the dice seem a little cheap, but good overall. I like the colors which is the primary reason I bought it. Ease of Use : Very easy to use. And resets easy as well. Not much to say, but it is compact and works great. Price: It retails at $175, but I got it for around $125. My price score is with those two price points in mind. The $175 is 4/10 and $125 is 7/10. If I were to pay the $175 I would want extra dice or better made dice, but for the $125 - $140 range I think it is a good value. Overall: I think this is a good effect. It does take up some space in your bag of tricks, but not a lot. At the lower price point it is a great buy in my opinion. I like the effect, it is easy to use, and easy to put away. The only bad part I would say are the dice. I thought they would feel a little more robust, but feel and how they really work may be two different things. I would like to say that I haven't had it long and may update this with time. It will be going into my show as of today. Hopefully this review may help someone. I think it is a solid buy and to see a few kids faces blow up with a wide smile made it worth every penny. Andy

(This review is for Dice Production Frame (12 Die) by Sumit Chhajer)
Just got this a few days ago from my local shop and i like it... packs flat and is all ready to
go... when u pack it up for travel its already set for the trick... no getting to ur show and settin
up, just pull it out and go... seems wellconstructed and looking forward to using at my next show...
dont worry about the edit in the video, the move is nothing.. it can always be opened right up and
shown both sides.. the video shows some akward handling as he holds the frame but u dont have to be
akward at all... the frame locks in place so when u show it as a box, it wont fall apart on u.. i
presumed that y was why they held it akwardly in the video but its not an issue so i dnt know why
they did... 4 starts:(

This is my very first experience buying a product using this concept so I'm probably not the best
person to review this item since I have nothing to compaire it to that I've bought in the past. So
with that being said its not a bad product. Well put together and should last for a while. Comes
shipped in a custom nylon bag for travel and its well under half the price of other similar tricks
on the market. Last but not least Penquin magic is top notch when it comes to doing business with.
Customer service is great. Fast shipping. And don't forget they can price match or beat the price of
any other major magic shop on the planet. I plan to make another order in the very near future.

Antifreeze poisoning is one of the most common forms of poisoning in small animals, and this is because it is so commonly found in households. Antifreeze poisoning typically happens when antifreeze drips from a car's radiator, where it is then licked off the ground and ingested by an animal. Your cat may also come into contact with antifreeze that has been added to a toilet bowl. This occurs in homes where the residents will use antifreeze during the cold months to "winterize" their pipes.
Even if you do not take this action in your own home, it is something to be aware of when visiting other homes, or when vacationing at a winter residence.
It is the toxin, ethylene glycol, that makes antifreeze lethal. Ethylene glycol has a sweet taste to it; because of this, an animal will consume the liquid in quantity before the aftertaste becomes apparent and causes it to stop. By then, it is too late. It does not take a significant amount of ethylene glycol to cause fatal damage to the system; less than three ounces, or 88 ml, of antifreeze is sufficient to poison an animal. Antifreeze poisoning affects the brain, liver, and kidneys.
Ethylene glycol is also found in engine coolant and hydraulic brake fluids.
Symptoms of Antifreeze Poisoning in Cats
- Drunken behavior
- Euphoria/delirium
- Wobbly, uncoordinated movement
- Nausea, vomiting
- Excessive urination
- Diarrhea
- Rapid heart beat
- Depression
- Weakness
- Seizures/convulsions/shaking tremors
- Fainting, coma
Diagnosis of Antifreeze Poisoning
Treatment of Antifreeze Poisoning in Cats
If you witnessed your cat ingesting the antifreeze, or you suspect it based on the symptoms and possible access to the substance, you will need to immediately encourage your pet to vomit.For immediate first aid (if you are positive that your pet has ingested this toxic substance), try to induce vomiting with a simple hydrogen peroxide solution of one teaspoon per five pounds of body weight -- with no more than three teaspoons given at once.
This method should only be used if the toxin has been ingested in the previous two hours, and should only be given three times, spaced apart at ten minute intervals. If your pet has not vomited after the third dose, do not use it, or anything further, to try to induce vomiting.
You may want to call your veterinarian before trying to induce vomiting, since it can be dangerous to do with some toxins; some poisons will do more harm coming back through the esophagus than they did going down. Do not use anything stronger than hydrogen peroxide without your veterinarian's assent, and do not induce vomiting unless you are absolutely sure of what your cat has ingested. If your cat has already vomited, do not try to force more vomiting.
A final word, do not induce vomiting if your cat is unconscious, is having trouble breathing, or is exhibiting signs of serious distress or shock. Whether your cat vomits or not, after the initial care, you must rush it to a veterinary facility immediately. Your veterinarian will be able to safely administer antidotes to the poison, such as activated charcoal to prevent further absorption of the toxin, and 4-methylpyrazole, which can treat antifreeze poisoning very effectively if given shortly after consumption.
Your cat may need to be held in intensive care for a short time to observe for and prevent kidney failure.
Living and Management
Cats that have consumed antifreeze in very small quantity may survive, but will develop kidney failure within days of ingestion. Death due to kidney damage is common among animals that have been poisoned by antifreeze.Prevention of Antifreeze Poisoning
Antifreeze poisoning can be easily avoided by following a few simple precautions:- Keep antifreeze containers tightly closed and stored out of the reach of pets.
- Take care not to spill antifreeze, and if it is spilled, ensure that it is immediately and thoroughly cleaned up.
- Dispose of used antifreeze containers properly.
- Check the radiator of your car regularly, and repair leaks immediately.
- Do not allow your cat to wander unattended where there is access to antifreeze: roads, gutters, garages, and driveways, for example.
- There are now antifreeze products available that use the safer propylene glycol as an agent, which the American Food and Drug Administration has labeled as non-toxic. Look for antifreeze with this ingredient instead, to keep your pet safer from accidental poisoning.

Kaiser Pushes Routine Mammograms Despite Federal Recommendation
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Aired 10/20/11 on KPBS News.
Kaiser Permanente mounted a massive effort today to encourage women to get a mammogram. Research suggests routine mammograms might do more harm than good.
SAN DIEGO Kaiser Permanente is trying to set a world record in San Diego today, by having more than 350 women get a mammogram. The effort flies in the face of a federal recommendation.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says routine mammograms may be harmful. That's because the more tests a women has for breast cancer, the more likely it is she'll get a false-positive result. The task force says women should delay screenings until age 50, and then have one only every other year.
A recent study that followed 170,000 women for 10 years reinforced the idea that annual mammograms may do more harm than good.
Kaiser Permanente Vice-President Mary Ann Barnes doesn't buy it.
"Mammograms are the best tool we have in healthcare to screen," Barnes said. "For myself, I know my age, I know my family history -- I get a mammogram every year.""
Kaiser's effort to set the one-day record for mammograms involves clinics at ten different locations, including Carlsbad and Otay Mesa.

Advertisement Whistleblowers, leakers, and corporate spies, prick up your ears. In the near future, Canon printers, scanners, and copiers will use OCR to block users from printing, scanning, copying, or faxing documents that contain certain keywords, and they'll send a PDF of the document to the system administrator after that.No word when printers and scanners with Uniflow 5 will be available, but THANKFULLY people stopped faxing us our leaks a little bit earlier this year.

you want the best you gotta pay.
seriously though, i haven't really scrutinized those hinge kits so i don't know what they look like exactly, but if it's like anything else you can probably build it yourself. if you could get some detailed pics and went to a shop you could probably get something made or figure out how to make it using existing cheaper materials. as far as all those other parts, you might just have to hit all the swap meets and keep an eye out for what you want. not everything has to be new. JB p.s. and yes you can build a car for under $20K
"Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) |
I recall reading an article in Street Rodder where the owner / builder put together a nice '39 Chevy sedan for @ $10,000. He did go with a MII unit but kept the rear simple with parallel leafs, didn't hide the hinges and I think used manual windows. Looked like a fairly nice car and I am sure the fun level to dollar ratio was very high.
When determining the plan for your rod build be sure to establish a realistic budget, a realistic plan (there is the chance of burning out before getting done) and have the wife involved in the planning process. Understanding what needs to be done lessens the concerns a spouse might raise. Works for me when there is an expensive "something" the coupe needs. We (spouse and I) work together determining budgets and timing of the expensive item purchases. As far as the door hinges, can you use the original ones (will they match the theme of the car?) and save that money toward another part of the project? |
You could buy some hinges from a junkyard and make them fit your car.
"mustang II air ride suspension, custom interior and paint" This stuff may make it hard to build a car on $20,000. I guess it depends on what you mean by custom, and who's going to do the work. You could probably do it pretty cheap yourself. |
Yeah, the huge hinges sticking out from the car have to go. My overall goal is to get this thing as smooth and sleek as possible. I don't want it to look like I skimped together whatever junkyard parts I could find. It's just that there's so many cars at the shows that look great from 20 feet, but then a closer look makes you think they should have spent another $1k to make it awesome. Anyone looked at the plans on ebay to build your own hinges? Some guy sells the design drawings for $10. I've tried to explain to my wife that we're saving a ton of money because I'm doing all the labor myself. She likes to see custom cars going down the road, but she's not interested in what I'm doing in the shop. Oh well, just needed to rant.
-Shane www.RustToRod.com |
I would have to say unless you are a darn good fabricator, just buy the hinges. You could get some out of a doner car but VERY few would work. The door has to swing OUTSIDE of the adjacent panel unlike 99.9% of modern cars where the door swings INSIDE the adjacent panel.
The few that I can think of off the top of my head that you may be able to find are some british sports cars and fifties and some sixties pickups. I have installed 55 Ford F-100 hinges on a VW bug that worked out well. But honestly, just buy the hinges. As far as quality, there are some real junk out there with no bushings in the pins, pick them out wisely. The "bear claw" latchs are found cheaper (I think) at motor home supply houses. I remember the first time I bought some bear claws from a street rod place only to find that they had removed a sticker off them and ground the part number off to disguise it's origin! If they had left the darn thing there I wouldn't even have thought about it but because they didn't want me to know I looked around until I found the source, motor homes. I also found the Jeep hardtop doors have a bear claw that is almost identical to the ones sold for street rods, with one exception, they have a lock! The bearclaws sold for street rods bolt to a handle/latch assy on the motor home. They don't have a lock because the lock in in the handle. |
I'd look at replacement hinges for another rig...new, remanufactured type thing.
Buy them, mock them up, see if they'll work...if they don't...return them. I started to go down the same road as you on and decided that approach is too much money for me. I want a cruiser, something I can enjoy. I don't need MII suspension and all those other things to have a ride that I'll enjoy. I'm focusing most of my attention on the body work for now, because after that is done, I can easily swap out other components when I have the monies. |
I've looked at those hinges real close and sketched up, on paper, my version. All they are is some 2" sq. tubing, a piece of 1/4" x 1 1/2" plate and some 1/2" round x 1/8" wall tubing. I will try to get them drawn up in the computer so I can make some drawings...
The hardest part in making them would be bending up the plate to make the door straps.... That's one of the reasons I bought this dude at a swap meet earlier this year... I will try to get these things drawn up tonight. Mark |
Thanks astroracer, that would be great. Here's a link to installation instructions from Rocky Hinge.
http://www.rockyhinge.com/instructions.htm I called Hagan's a few weeks ago. They were very helpful, even sent me a full color catalog and a 30 minute installation video for free. Both companies look like they make great products, but does this really look like $325? Worse yet, $650 for a 4 door car? I would have no problem ordering 2 sets of hinges if the total price was $325. If these guys cut their prices in half, they couldn't build enough of them! I've been doing body work, saving up for parts too, but it's hard to let go of the money for something that seems minor. Every vendor wants to get rich from selling every little part, which just makes guys like me want to find an alternative way to get things done. If the prices were more reasonable, they would probably sell 3 times as many, and more people could afford to get into this hobby. |
i just realized that on my '47 plymouth it has higgen hinges on the front doors. the hinges sit inside pockets in the front post and the hinge bolts onto the door. might be kind of tricky making the pockets for the hinges but just thought i'd pass that along. later, JB
"Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) |
At the top of the photo are two posts. It looks like they may have bushings in them... What are they for. I got my version of the hinges drawn up today. The computers are down tomorrow for upgrading so I won't get the drawings done till next week. Let me know about those post and if there are any design considerations you need for your application. Mark |
Shane..... It looks like you have 2 issues. The cost of the parts for the project and the Budget for the project.
As for the hinges, I'd just look around and see if you can find a set from something that will work. Sometimes, the imagination is the best tool that you can have. As for the Budget (under $20,000) issue. The way that I handle that is a little different than alot of people. My wife is the one that handles the money at home. She knows how to save, I know how to spend. LOL I have several projects going at any one time. I currently am working on a 67 Mustang, 31 Ford Tudor, and a 26 Ford Touring. I buy parts and materials, a little at a time, all of the time. I don't keep track of how much I spend on any one project, unless I am working on something for someone else. By having more than one project going, I can buy the parts that I find for which ever project they will fit. That way I am not pushed to find specific parts, and end up paying more than necessary. A few months ago, I went to Carlisle Pa to the show/swap meet. I took my wife with me, and made it a week end away for both of us. We shopped all day at the fair grounds. We saw quite a few parts that would work on one of my projects. Some I bought, and many I didn't buy because the price wasn't what I wanted to pay at that time. Since I always have something to work on, I am not pushed to over spend. WARNING.... This is not for everyone. Many people will start projects and never finish them. If you are one of those, this process will not work for you. |
Hey astroracer,
My only guess about those posts comes from what I remember about reading the installation instructions. It may be there to run a round rod between the upper and lower hinges to make sure they line up perfectly straight. I know that Rocky Hinge makes theirs with that round vertical rod already attached to the upper and lower hinges, which should make it easier to keep them lined up during installation. Sounds like a good idea, so I'm not sure why Hagan does not include that spacer rod. |
I've used the following hinges for suicide doors....please dont shoot me for inaccuracies on the years. Once I knew what the hinge looked like I just went around to any older vehicle & opened the doors to see if they were a donor or not...didn't pay too close attention to the donor...
70's - 80's Jeep Wagoneer (used these the most) 60-70's Ford trucks 55-57 Chevy's & Trucks IH Scouts At the minimum most of these need sand blasted & "rebuilt" w/ new pins & bushings, but that's pretty inexpensive to do. Also, note that some of these had a spring which aided in holding the door open, so this might be a feature worth looking for if you consider that really important. Most door stay open on their own though.... Once you get the hinges, there is a process to hang these which would require a few pages....someone used to have an entire how to, but I can't see to find it & was basically how we do it. You def. need to heep the hinge center line the same on the top hinge & the bottom hinge or else it will bind when opening. Most doors will need sign. reinforcement to allow them to hold the weight of the door. We use 14ga/ 12 ga or similar to do this. Look at most late model latches w/ the striker bolt...these are what we use. Last, if you'd rather have some new parts entirely call Jason @ http://suicidedoors.com/products/suicidehinges.htm He's very helpful. Hope this helps!! Eric Bailey |

The Winner - My Hero
This week she received official word that because of her excellence in selling and being one of the top saleswomen in her company, she has been selected for the coveted "President's Award"!
And to make me even more proud, she also WON of the top "Sales Women" of the Year awards from her company.
(I 'think' I have these titles correct?) --
In any case -- she has won TWO awards for her outstanding saleswomanship ......!!!!!
I suppose the part that makes me utterly tear up -- is that she did all this while her husband is overseas serving our country and she, with a VERY active almost-two-year-old -- kept a magazine-beautiful home, her daughter in the most precious, IRONED and glorious clothes while the two of them played and learned TOGETHER each day, she visited places and people and family, is dedicated to her faith and church and family, and retains the most positive attitude I've ever seen.
Am I proud -- You betcha!
Congratulations, Michelle -- you deserve all the very best --- I am ever so proud of you!

On the fishing trophy, does each event at the jetty count as one? Or is it three individual? And for it to count, you just need the lasso to close in, and the button to glow, right? i'm sure I've done 30 so far... but maybe I'm just miscounting....
Edit: Great guide BTW. Love the tables for getting the minikits and such. hope its like this on the HP and POTC lego games too!

I dont have a clear answer on that, I would say that it's per fishing event and not each individual one because i did a lot of them before it popped, and yes its right when the rope reaches the button.
and thanks about the guides, but unfortunately none of the other Lego guides have those tables setup for each section. Those guides are also very nice but I thought of those when i was doing this guide

For the Taking the Hobbits to Isengard trophy you don't need to use every variation of Hobbit. All I did was change Hobbit and fast travelled to Isengard. I did it with one of the Frodos, one of the Sams, one of the Merrys, one of the Pippins, Rosie (to be on the safe side) and one of the Bilbos and then I got the trophy

Davey, awesome guide, thanks. You should put somewhere in your guide that you have to make a custom character in Bag End to unlock the final character, Lurtz young. I was stuck at 99.8% and figured it out, but it's not obvious.

Would Australians want Ojha? Some decent shield quick not in serious contention for a first XI selection would do just fine.
Would Australians want Ojha? Some decent shield quick not in serious contention for a first XI selection would do just fine.
Already 30 but I'd take that. Wouldn't mind Bollinger either, though I'm not too sure how good both their recent forms have been.
New Zealand's Wagner or Gillespie for SL's Mendis (the spinner).
Would Australia take Luke Ronchi back for Jackson Bird?
I honestly think they would seriously consider it now. Yes Patto is going to be a deadset gun, but you have to give something to get something. And they could really use one of Pujara or Kohli right now.
The rest of the batting lineup is filled with vastly experienced Test players. KP and Cook should pass 100 Tests during this double header and Bell won't be far behind. Off the top of my head Trott's played 47 Tests, Prior around 70. Root and Bairstow are surrounded by experienced batsmen, so I'm not sure who the **** we're supposed to be trading for.
Biggest boost to England would be a consistent second/third seamer or a no.6 better than Bairstow.
A 3rd seamer staying fit/in form for more than one series has been a problem for a long time. Bairstow is doing ok this summer, needs a big score now though.
Lets be honest, only the real great sides end up with a brilliant top 6 or a fantastic bowling attack at the same time and this England side isn't one of them so the odd flaw is acceptable.
Last edited by flibbertyjibber; 22-07-2013 at 03:44 AM.
I'd take that, even if Twatto never played a test for us. We desperately need an ODI allrounder.
Far from convinced Ronchi would play for us.
We can ask more for Watson, he's still a gun limited overs all-rounder.
Want to be the online Don Bradman or Ian Salisbury?
Then join CW Cricket today. It's what all the cool kids desire.

Well when Haddin and Watling are better players than you then your chances in either country look limited.
I'd say he's the number two over here and I guess over there it would depend on how much they hate Wade's catching. Wade is the better batsman but a worse gloveman. Don't know enough about your other keepers to comment.

Greetings from hot and sunny Brooklyn! It's a pleasure to be
invited to join the distinguished group of guest bloggers here at Best American Poetry—thanks, Stacey. First, if you'll indulge me, a little throat-clearing: Not
having published much aside from what appears in AJN, I was feeling a bit uncertain about how to present myself. I
thought that in lieu of a biographical note, I might offer this caption from a
recent New Yorker cartoon. (It shows two men
sitting in an office on either side of a large desk: "I'm fifty-three, but I
have the résumé of a much younger man." A tip of this season's must-have—but in
my case, not-yet-acquired—woven-straw fedora to cartoonist Barbara Smaller.)
The truth is, aside from the semi-annual workplace performance self-evaluation, I find no writing assignment so daunting as the brief biographical note (no Pulitzer, no MacArthur, and I still haven't cleaned up that mess in the Middle East, so what's really to brag about?). And at first blush, that caption really seems to sum up my career very succinctly. (Meditation on the biographical note also called to mind Stacey's hilarious poem, "Contributors' Notes," which really nails the absurdity of thumbnail biographical sketches and perhaps, by implication, the horrors of composing them. Some readers of this blog may recall that her reading of it got a lot of laughs at the marathon Best American Poetry reading at the New School several years ago. It seemed as if it struck a chord with many people in the audience that night.)
Then, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that it would be much more accurate to say that I have the résumés—if not the strength—of several younger men! (Fortunately for you, patient reader, an explanation of that will have to wait for another day…) So I tried my hand at a few unamusing lines about my day job, and I thought, "OK, at least I sound like a productive member of society, if not the world of letters (or high-level international diplomacy). I can live with that."
So that's the end of my throat-clearing for today. Now, on to what I really want to tell you about that day job!
The first thing you will want to know about AJN is that we publish poetry and visual art (we even consider short—very short—fiction).
It's true: every month, on our Art of Nursing page, AJN publishes a poem or a piece of
visual art. And we desperately need good poets and artists to submit their work
to us last month right away!
You don't have to be a nurse to publish your poetry or artwork in AJN. We're looking for work that has something to do with healthcare, broadly construed. As long as it deals with physical, mental, spiritual health and/or illness, or with caring for the sick, it will be considered. (One other limitation: we don't publish work that's been previously published in print or online.)
My friend and colleague Sylvia Foley coordinates the Art of Nursing page and wrote a blog post about submitting work to it here: http://bit.ly/fzcIu. (Sylvia, by the way, is the author of Life in the Air Ocean, a prize-winning book of linked short stories published by Knopf.)
Submission guidelines for Art of Nursing are available on our Editorial Manager Web page (under Files & Resources, Author Guidelines, Art of Nursing) here.
Art of Nursing is always free on our Web site. Go to www.ajnonline.com, click on the Previous Issues button at the top of the homepage, and scroll through the tables of contents for Art of Nursing. (Admittedly, our Web site can be a little tricky to navigate. Once you select a given issue, click on the Table of Contents Outline link, click Feature in the pop-up window, and then scroll down to Art of Nursing.) Recent poems, read by the authors, are also available as podcasts on our podcast page. Click on the Podcasts button at the top of the homepage and then scroll down to Art of Nursing.
That's all for today—have a great Sunday!

Our past Annual Reports are in an easy-to-read format and are packed with stories about the success of our program.
SHARP students in grades K5–5 build their vocabulary skills through the visual arts. As a means of evaluating the results, pre- and post- vocabulary assessments are conducted each year across all grade levels. The vocabulary assessments were related to the following themes:
K4 : Science – Living Things
K5 : Science – Plants
Grade 1: Science – Bees
Grade 2: Science – Great Lakes
Grade 3: Social Studies – Urban Agriculture
Grade 4: Social Studies – Wisconsin
Grade 5: Social Studies – Building a Nation
An additional analysis of students matching the Control Group pre assessment resulted in SHARP program students generating performance gains which were 2 ½ times greater than comparable students in the Control Group.
A formal study conducted by Applied Measurement and Evaluations Services in 2003 concluded that students in the SHARP program read and write 40%-70% better than students who do not participate in the program. Keenan Grenell, Ph.D. of the Grenell Group, LLC, made his report available in June 2011. The reports are below:

Calculating shot volume to make sure your barrel has enough capacity may seem like a dull topic, but it will overcome the emotional experience that follows when you put a new mold into a machine and you find out there is not enough barrel capacity to make a full shot.
Now I'm sure this has never happened to you, but a few of us have been in this spot. So as not to emulate our mistakes, you need to do your homework before the machine is ordered. Not having a properly sized barrel for your shot is a show (and a part) stopper.
How do you figure out what barrel size you'll need? If it is a new part and your mold hasn't been built yet, running a mold-filling analysis will give you the volume of the part and runner. If your mold is in the building stage, your moldmaker may have calculated the volume of your shot—and make sure to also include the runner volume if it's a cold-runner mold. If you already have the mold and you are purchasing a new machine, you have two sets of data: the part and runner weights, plus the shot size of the existing machine. With either part and runner weight, or the volume of the total shot, you have your starting point.
Let's start with the scenario in which you know the part weight. I like to work in grams but most machine specifications are in ounces. If the part, runner (cold), and sprue together weigh 164 g, the equivalent is 182.2 cc of PP (at 0.90 g/cc density), or 6.16 oz (1 cc = 0.0338 oz). Assuming you have a barrel capacity of 8 oz, you might be tempted to conclude that you have plenty of shot volume. Unfortunately this is where things start to unravel.
First, what if the machine-capacity specification in ounces is for one material, often polystyrene, and you are running polypropylene? (Note: Many machine specs today quote barrel capacity both for PS and HDPE.) There is an important density difference between these resins. At room temperature the density of PS is 1.04 g/cm3 and PP has a room-temperature density 0.90 g/cm3. You might then think, "Okay, for my 6.16 oz of PP you can take the ratio of densities 1.04/0.90 or 1.16 and arrive at a required barrel capacity of 7.14 oz." With an 8-oz barrel you're still okay, right?
Unfortunately, this is when Mr. Murphy usually knocks with his lesson that what can go wrong usually does. He'll remind you that these are room-temperature densities, and in molding we deal in melt-temperature conditions. Sorry, there's another step of complexity: dealing with melt densities.
When melted, the polymer molecules are farther apart and density decreases. The problem is that melt-density data is harder to come by. It is not on many material specification sheets and you have to do a bit of research to find it. (Plastics Technology's PLASPEC Global Material Datacenter is one place to look.)
For PS the melt density is 0.945 g/cc and for PP it is about 0.74 g/cc. This changes the ratio for our calculation; it is now 0.945/0.74 or 1.28. Now we need a minimum of 6.16 x 1.28 or 7.88 oz of shot capacity. We are still (just barely) within our 8-oz barrel capacity, but unfortunately Mr. Murphy is still lurking.
Consider our check valve: It leaks! Is it practical to try to use 98% of the barrel capacity (7.88/8.0 oz)? Not in my book, and you need some cushion and room for decompression—especially for hot runners. I recommend shot-sizes of 25% to 70% of barrel capacity. If we add all this up, plus a 10% safety factor for check-valve leakage, cushion, and decompression and to ensure uniformly melted plastic, we need a barrel with at least 11-12 oz capacity.
But we're not done yet. We have to think about plasticating capacity. PP is a semi-crystalline resin and it melts differently, perhaps more stubbornly, than amorphous resins. Generally, semi-crystalline resins stay hard up to their melting point and often require twice as many BTUs to melt as amorphous resins. This double whammy makes semi-crystalline resins significantly harder to melt uniformly than amorphous ones. You don't want to use too much of your barrel capacity, or you'd be running the risk of having unmelted or partially melted solids in the melt stream. Warpage, shrinkage, and physical properties would be significantly affected.
Once again, you do not want to underestimate this detail of properly calculating shot size vs. barrel capacity. Too much is at stake. Send me your email address and I'll send you a spreadsheet to do this calculation. You plug in ounces or grams and resin melt density, then it calculates the suggested barrel capacity in ounces.
The next task will be to determine if your screw can melt this shot within the quoted cycle time. That's for the next column.

The Uprising
this wiki
This article contains spoilers. Read at your own risk! It might spoil your gaming experience when first playing the related games.
The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on official information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.
- "Let this war end in either total victory or our extinction. No further compromise shall we allow."
- ―All-Knowing Vortigaunt[src]
The Uprising is an ongoing conflict fought between Earth's Human and Vortigaunt resistance network and the Combine Empire. Xenian aliens are also partaking as an undeclared third party, fighting against both sides. The war takes place about 20 years after the Black Mesa Incident and Seven Hour War,[1] during the Combine's occupation of Earth.
Prior to the Seven Hour War, the Black Mesa Incident had caused Portal Storms to spread across the planet, attracting the attention of the Combine Empire. Their motive for invading Earth is unknown, though it can be assumed they wished to take control of the planet's natural resources and enslave its population. The Combine invaded Earth through the use of the Storms, and rapidly defeated all of Earth's armed forces in what became known as the Seven Hour War. Dr. Wallace Breen, former Black Mesa Administrator negotiated a surrender on behalf of the surviving Humans. As a reward, he was instated as the interim ruler of Earth by the Combine, and aided them in rounding up the remaining Humans into large, tightly controlled cities. Breen chose City 17 as his de facto capital, and the planet's main Citadel was constructed there, as the headquarters of the Combine Overwatch on Earth.
Earth's new rulers governed with a calculated oppressiveness, restricting Human liberties and assimilating Earth's natural resources into their empire. Dissenting Humans were captured and transformed into Stalkers, or simply killed. A Suppression Field was activated to prevent Humans from breeding, another measure to control the population more effectively. Many Humans were assimilated into the occupational army on Earth, all of the Combine's infantry forces on Earth consisting of trans-Human troops, augmented with Synth technology.
The ResistanceEdit
In response to the Combine's occupation, a number of escapees from the Combine's iron grip formed the Resistance, a highly decentralized, loose network of guerrillas, outlaws, spies, and citizens dedicated to overthrowing the Overwatch's rule. Unable to combat the Combine's powerful armies directly, the Resistance instead sought to undermine the Combine. Many of the more experienced Resistance members, such as Barney Calhoun, infiltrated the ranks of Civil Protection, relaying information to the Resistance. Others smuggled weaponry, set up supply caches for other members, and helped civilians escape the Combine controlled cities. The Resistance set up a sophisticated network of bases throughout City 17's outlying area to help ferry escapees to the countryside. Others set up dedicated outposts such as Ravenholm (until its destruction with the exceptions of Father Grigori and the Shorepoint Base and Team), Black Mesa East, White Forest, and a significant presence along The Coast.
According to Judith Mossman, the Combine was aware of the Resistance and its activities, but their efforts to undermine them were largely ineffective on the whole, and as such, the Combine did not consider them an appreciable threat. Nevertheless, they suppressed Resistance activities at every opportunity, raiding the homes of suspected resistance members or sympathizers, and destroying Resistance outposts. The most infamous of these was Ravenholm. Rather than attack the town directly, the Combine shelled the settlement with Headcrab Shells, with only one known survivor. The Resistance had made significant headway in technological developments, such as the Teleportation technology worked on by Isaac Kleiner and Eli Vance, the anti-Strider weapon developed by Arne Magnusson, and plans to shut down the portal between Earth and the Combine Overworld, a plan which could not be put into effect until The Uprising had them sufficiently distracted.
The CombineEdit
The Combine's empire spanned several dimensions, and became Earth's overlords after defeating all of its armed forces combined in the Seven Hour War. After negotiating Earth's surrender with Dr. Wallace Breen, they established the former Black Mesa Administrator as Earth's interim ruler. Once all of Earth's population had been rounded up into tightly controlled cities, they began the subjugation of Earth's populace, and assimilation of its natural resources. Earth's oceans had receded significantly by the time of the Uprising, and the cities became comparatively safe under Combine rule after Xenian wildlife infested the countryside. The Combine's control of Earth was brutal and calculated; while it did not consider the Resistance an appreciable threat to its rule, it suppressed Resistance activity whenever possible.
The Combine often raided the homes of suspected Resistance members or sympathizers, and often used the pretext of one home being raided as an excuse to search the entire block. Captured Humans were either killed, transformed into Stalkers, or integrated into the Overwatch. The Combine's forces on Earth almost entirely consisted of trans-Human infantry forces, augmented with Synth technology such as Striders. Their formidable technology and weapons prevented the Resistance from direct confrontation; however, despite this, they lagged behind the Resistance in some areas. The Combine utilized dark energy cosmic strings to form their portals, which required an enormous amount of energy to sustain, and could not tunnel to another location on the same planet. The Resistance on the other hand utilized the Xen relay, allowing them to transport to another location on the same world. The Resistance also possessed the technology to shut down portals using the old Xenian resonators.
Return of the FreemanEdit
Gordon Freeman was inserted into City 17 by the ominous G-Man, approximately 20 years following the Black Mesa Incident. He was very nearly captured by Civil Protection and taken to Nova Prospekt, however he was intercepted by Barney Calhoun, who had infiltrated the ranks of Civil Protection. Attempting to keep Freeman from being spotted by the Combine, Calhoun sent Freeman to Dr. Kleiner's lab. He garnered the attention of Civil Protection on the route there, and was intercepted by several patrols, until he was rescued by Alyx Vance. Alyx escorted Freeman to Dr. Kleiner's lab, where he intended to teleport them to Black Mesa East. An unfortunate teleport malfunction, however, resulted in Dr. Breen becoming aware of Freeman's presence in the city. Aware of his superhuman triumph over the Xenian forces during the Black Mesa Incident, and well aware of his almost legendary status among the Resistance, the Citadel was put on full alert.
His sudden reappearance was cause for celebration amongst the citizens and the Resistance. In a panic, the Combine deployed thousands of Scanners in an attempt to locate Freeman, and let loose Hunter helicopters, along with Civil Protection units. To restrict Freeman's movements and prevent the Resistance aiding him, the CPs deployed surgical strike teams, and hit all known Resistance bases along the Underground Railroad. While most of the outposts were silenced, they failed to stop Freeman from escaping City 17 and reaching Resistance base Black Mesa East. Determined to capture Freeman, Breen ordered an attack on Black Mesa East, acting on intelligence from his informant within the Resistance, Judith Mossman. Breen was unable to capture Freeman, forcing him to proceed to the Coast through the zombie infested town of Ravenholm. Nevertheless, he was able to capture Eli Vance, and the secrets of his teleporter technology.
Tracking Freeman to the coast, the Combine Overwatch launched systematic raids along the Resistance's coastal settlements. They managed to overrun several of the smaller installations; however, they failed to capture Shorepoint and New Little Odessa. A determined attack was launched against Lighthouse Point, which was eventually successful; however, Freeman escaped onto the beaches. Utilizing the Myrmidont's pheropods, Freeman and the Antlions breached the perimeter of Nova Prospekt, where he intended to rendezvous with Alyx in an attempt to rescue Eli Vance.
Attack on Nova ProspektEdit
Both Freeman and Alyx had managed to breach the perimeter of Nova Prospekt, from two different routes. With the beach perimeter gone, the Antlions were able to breach Nova Prospekt en masse, sorely testing the Nova Prospekt's defensive capabilities. While the Antlions laid waste to the prison, Freeman was able to successfully rendezvous with Alyx at the prison's train depot. Together, they located both Vance and Mossman, in the process exposing Mossman's role as an informant for the Combine. Using Mossman to activate the Combine's adapted teleporter, Alyx intended for all four to teleport directly to Kleiner's lab. However, while distracted, Mossman teleported herself and Eli directly to the Citadel, leaving Freeman and Alyx to defend against the Overwatch.
While the pair were successful in holding back the Overwatch's attack, their assault damaged the teleport. Once they were sent to Kleiner's lab, the teleporter's reactor exploded, destroying the prison entirely. While Alyx and Freeman were stuck in the teleporter's cycle for almost a week, their attack on the prison was taken as a signal by the Resistance to mobilize against the Combine in City 17. The Uprising had begun.
Battle of City 17Edit
Prior to the destruction of Nova Prospekt, the Uprising had been limited to Combine raids on the Underground Railroad and Resistance bases along the coast. Civil Protection units had also been raiding the homes of suspected resistance sympathizers. The destruction of the Combine's only teleporter, and the hated symbol that was Nova Prospekt, the Resistance mobilized and armed against the Sector 17 Overwatch. For a full week, the Combine's attacks drove the majority of the population into the arms of the Resistance, while both sides became embattled in a bitter deadlock. Civil Protection found it nearly impossible to hold back the Resistance's guerilla attacks, and Overwatch reinforcements were sent in. At the time of Freeman and Alyx's return, the Resistance largely controlled the suburban districts, while the Combine held the strategic areas in and around the city center. Despite the Combine's vastly superior technology, they found urban combat against a determined guerilla army difficult to counter.
Freeman and Alyx joined with Calhoun, whose Resistance cell launched attacks against the Combine's generators within the city center. However, Alyx Vance was captured shortly thereafter by the Combine, and taken to the Citadel. Proceeding deeper into the city, Freeman and Calhoun's cells found the Combine's field headquarters; the Overwatch Nexus. Infiltrating the building, they disabled the building's suppression device, allowing reinforcements to flood into the central areas of the city. A determined Overwatch counterattack, replete with Gunships and Striders was eventually beaten back by the Resistance, impairing the Combine's counter-offensives into the city. With the Resistance closing in on the Citadel, the Combine turned loose the Striders and Gunships. Despite inflicting severe casualties on the resistance, they could not prevent the elusive rebels from reaching the base of the Citadel. Freeman managed to infiltrate the Citadel by traversing an old sewer network that ran under the city.
Once inside, Freeman allowed himself to be captured, and was taken to Breen's office. Mossman, in a bout of guilt, freed Eli, Alyx, and Freeman, after learning of Breen's plans to kill them. Breen fled to the Citadel's reactor, intending to teleport to the Overworld. Freeman managed to overload the teleporter's reactor, causing it to explode. The G-Man prevented Freeman's death; however, the Vortigaunts intervened with his plans, burying Freeman and Alyx in the rubble at the base of the Citadel. The explosion of the teleporter's reactor blew the top of the Citadel away, and overloaded the building's power grid, causing a fatal meltdown of the Citadel's Dark Energy reactor core. As a result, the city's force fields and thumpers shut down, allowing Xenian wildlife to invade the city. The destruction of the main Citadel in City 17 also damaged the Combine's worldwide network, isolating Combine forces on Earth.
The overload of the Citadel's reactor had caused the formation of an infant superportal, into which the Combine wished to transmit a message, requesting for reinforcements to destroy the rebellion. Alyx and Freeman managed to stabilize the Citadel's unstable reactor, giving the Resistance additional time to evacuate more citizens. Meanwhile, the Combine withdrew the bulk of its forces from City 17, leaving behind only a handful of rearguard units in a desperate bid to stall the Resistance's escape. When the final trains of refugees left the city, the Combine sent their transmission packet, overloading the Citadel's primary reactor. The shock to its power grid caused the Citadel to explode in a Dark Energy flare, destroying the remains of the City and most of the surrounding area.
Battle of White ForestEdit
The destruction of the Citadel and the destabilization of its main reactor had caused an infant Superportal to begin forming, which if matured could be used by the Combine to bring in reinforcements to defeat the Resistance. Since the destruction of the reactor and the retreat of the Combine from City 17, the remaining soldiers intended to use the Citadel's unstable reactor to send a transmission packet to the Combine Overworld, requesting reinforcements. However, to send this transmission would overload the reactor, causing it to explode. Freeman and Alyx managed to obtain a copy of the transmission, and temporarily stabilized the reactor core, giving the Resistance more time to evacuate citizens out of the city, however, the transmission was sent in the end, causing the Citadel to explode. Meanwhile, the Resistance had evacuated their forces and refugees to White Forest, while Judith Mossman had gone on a mission to investigate rumors of the existence of the Borealis.
Alyx and Freeman began to make their way to White Forest; however, Alyx was critically wounded by a Hunter, and almost died. Due to the intervention of the Vortigaunts, however, she survived, and the two continued on their journey. They found themselves advancing parallel to a large contingent of Combine soldiers, who had re-grouped from their defeat at City 17, planning to attack White Forest. A large detachment of Overwatch soldiers and Hunters ambushed the pair at the White Forest Inn, but were beaten back, and the two escaped. Soon after reaching White Forest, the Overwatch launched an attack against the base, and managed to breach the compound. Despite them gaining a foothold, the Resistance managed to fight off the attack, and the Combine withdrew.
In the meantime, Magnusson, Kleiner, and Vance worked on decoding the transmission packet, and using this information to seal the Superportal with the old Xenian resonator in Earth orbit. However, the Resistance's observation teams had spotted a significant force of Striders advancing toward White Forest, escorted by Hunters. Knowing that a single Strider could destroy the rocket, Magnusson directed Freeman in the use of an advanced anti-Strider weapon; the Magnusson Device. The Resistance mobilized their troops, after which the Combine launched their main attack; around two dozen Striders, each one escorted by two to three Hunters. This force destroyed many of the outlying buildings; however, the valleys and hills were not ideal terrain for the Striders, and they were easily ambushed by Freeman using the Magnusson Devices. The attack was eventually repelled, and the rocket was launched successfully. The Superportal was sealed shortly thereafter, stranding the Combine on Earth.
Following the victory, Alyx and Freeman prepared to leave White Forest in search of Mossman and the Borealis. Isaac Kleiner wished to use the Borealis, previously thought to be a legend, against the Combine, whereas Eli Vance believed the technology to be far too dangerous, and urged Freeman to destroy the ship. Shortly thereafter; a pair of Advisors attacked the Hangar, killing Eli Vance, and presumably learning all of the information he knew of the Resistance, before being driven off by Dog.

It is a dilemma which is as old as the NHS: How, with finite financial resources, do you decide which drugs to pay for and which to restrict.
How much is two months of extra life worth when the cost is many thousands of pounds and there is no hope of recovery?
How do you decide whether a cancer drug which is only effective in 5 per cent of patients should be given to everyone just in case?
It was to address dilemmas such as these that the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) was set up in 1999: to determine which drugs the NHS should pay for and which should be restricted.
But things have not proved that simple.
The NHS is not a single organisation with a single budget and, despite rules designed to prevent it, postcode-prescribing has flourished around the country.
Under huge budgetary pressures (even in the good times) local health authorities have often knowingly ignored guidance – only reversing the secret rationing when under the glare of publicity.
So will the innovation scorecard solve the problem?
It should certainly help. It will make it much easier for patient groups, drugs companies and the media to identify and highlight those areas of the country and individual hospitals which are routinely flouting Nice guidance.
Perhaps more importantly, it will also put pressure on hospital managers not to cut corners in the first place for fear of being exposed. But what the scorecard does not do is solve the fundamental dilemma: how much are such treatments worth to us as a society and are we prepared to pay for them?
As individuals, we obviously want the best possible treatments available – whatever the cost.
As taxpayers, paying for others, we might be more discerning.
As we all live longer, diseases become controllable and the drugs bill rises ever further, it is a debate which is certain to become more pressing.
However, an open discussion is certainly better than secret back-door rationing.
