When this is the case the gathering is carried to a block or half-open mould in which it is rolled and blown until it acquires, roughly, the shape of a hemisphere, the flat side being towards the pipe and the convexity away from it; the diameter of this hemisphere is so regulated as to be approximately that of the cylinder which is next to be formed of the viscous mass.
An effort at a more direct mechanical process is embodied in the inventions of Foucault which are at present being developed in Germany and Belgium; in this process the glass is drawn from the molten bath in the shape of flat sheets, by the aid of a bar of iron, previously immersed in the glass, the glass receiving its form by being drawn through slots in large fire-bricks, and being kept in shape by rapid chilling produced by the action of air-blasts.
A full account of the process of blowing crown-glass will be found in all older books and articles on the subject, so that it need only be mentioned here that the glass, instead of being blown into a cylinder, is blown into a flattened sphere, which is caused to burst at the point opposite the pipe and is then, by the rapid spinning of the glass in front of a very hot furnace-opening, caused to expand into a flat disk of large diameter.
It is, however, equally important that the glass as a whole should be flat and remains flat during the process of gradual cooling (annealing), otherwise great thicknesses of glass would have to be ground away at the projecting parts of the sheet.
The annealing process is therefore carried out in a manner differing essentially from that in use for any other variety of flat glass and nearly resembling that used for optical glass.

The flat frame is the most gentle in its usage of the silk, but is most costly in labour; whilst the circular frame, being more severe in its action, is not suitable for the thoroughly degummed silks, but on the other hand is best for silks containing much wormy matter, because the silk hanging down into the combing teeth is thoroughly cleansed of such foreign matter, which is deposited under the machine.
Recently a new machine has been invented giving the same results as circular frame: the silk depends from boxes into combs, and at the same time has the gentle action of the flat frame.
Vordate, Molu and south-eastern Yamdena have a maximum height of 820 ft.; the rest are low and flat, except Laibobar, apparently a volcanic islet on the west, which has an extinct crater 2000 ft.
An Arab's curse is escaped by falling flat on the face, for it then shoots over the head; and recently the following case was referred from French Canada before the judicial committee of the privy council.
It lies on the east bank of the Ivel, a tributary of the Ouse, in a flat plain in which vegetables are largely grown for the London markets.

On this occasion a stone altar, consisting of a flat slab resting upon three other upright slabs, was presented to the parish, and was set up in the church at the east wall of the chancel.

I have April 29 AATruck that has 2" long wheel studs on rear. I need to replace them. I called Bert's and they have 1 3/4 or 2 1/4. lengths only. The 2 1/4 have 1 1/4 inch shaft with 1 inch of thread. My studs have 7/8 shaft with 1 1/8 inch threads. I will be installing wire wheels on this truck. Does anyone know which studs will work best?
Re: 28/29 rear wheel stud length.
I removed a couple of studs from a hub from scrape pile. They measured 1 3/4".
Looks like the 1.75 inch length is correct for wire wheels.
The big green parts book shows over all length 2.12, thread 1.09, shoulder .84, shoulder diameter .88.

Sorry, GuysRobbie Amell Says There Isn't 'Any Real Truth' To The 'True Jackson, VP' Reboot
Apr 28, 2020 9:15 am
When Keke Palmer announced that the beloved series True Jackson, VP was getting a reboot last week, fans quickly went into a frenzy. But now, Robbie Amell has opened up about the possibility of the iconic Nickelodeon show making a comeback, and it doesn't sound too promising.
As fans know, the fan-favorite series, which also starred Ashley Argota, Danielle Bisutti, Matt Shively and more, premiered on November 8, 2008. It went on for three seasons before it concluded on August 20, 2011, and when it went off the air, it was definitely the end of an era! It followed the story of True Jackson, an aspiring stylist who got hired by a huge fashion mogul named Max Madigan.
"I was learning about it as people online were learning about it," Robbie revealed to Entertainment Tonight. "And then me and Keke and Ashley and Matt were all kind of texting back and forth, like, 'This would be really fun. This would be awesome.' So I don't know if there's any real truth to it right now… But I would definitely jump back in. I love that show and, you know, it was one of my first real jobs in L.A."
For those who missed it, Keke shared a video of herself dancing to the theme song of the throwback show on April 21, 2020.
"Congrats! Another reboot! Y'all made this happen," she captioned it.
As she showed off her epic moves in the clip, the words "When they canceled True Jackson, VP prematurely just to reboot it in 2021," flashed across the screen.
Congrats! Another reboot! Y'all made this happen 😭🥴💀 pic.twitter.com/DMya576Dal

Robbie, who played Jimmy Madigan — True's love interest in the show — even dished on where he thought his character would be now!
"I started thinking about it a little bit," he continued. "Jimmy was always a little bit of a mess. I feel like things aren't probably going to be stellar for him but, with that being said, maybe it's the opposite. You know, maybe things are just really great for Jimmy now. I feel like he's the type of guy who would, like, accidentally win the lottery or something."
"I feel like you either go one of two ways, either [Jimmy and True are] still together or they find each other again in the show, which I think either one would kind of be interesting and cool," the 32-year-old actor added. "But I think there has to be that romance there still because it wasn't over on the show."

Through the eyes of a woman: A genuinely attentive guy
Having good morals: a blessing or a curse?
I'm in love with an introvert
We're so different - maybe that's why we attract each other so strongly. I'm mesmerized by his quietness, his inscrutability - it's not like that annoying, intentional kind of unpredictability; it's something different. I don't mean to analyze him or label him an "introvert", he's just so different, so unique, with his inquiring eyes and soft voice.
It's not his time. Western civilization celebrates extroverts in the 21th century. It's all about being here and there and everywhere, we're constantly communicating and we're busy as a bee building our social networks. We have this constant urge to be somewhere and be well-informed and in the center of everything - otherwise you risk being forgotten. If you're not in it, you're missing out on it, and introverts often find themselves left out.
Today everything is so loud and busy and it's for people living outwardly and having a talent for self-fulfillment. We are expected to be friendly, talkative, and humorous all the time. You know, just be cool. If there's no noise, we make some; we can't even enjoy quietness any more. Tranquility is boring, the feeling of "nothing-is-happening" makes us demotivated; we have this unquenchable thirst for danger and sensation. We waste our time on people wasting our time, our energies on relationships that suck the life out of us, and our tears on hopeless causes.
We're so different - maybe we can't even be happy together. We wants to stay when I want to go; he'd rather be quiet when I want to talk. He wants to focus all his attention on one person; I want to be there for everybody. He's all in when it comes to relationships. He does not have shallow friends, he hates small talk, and he stays away from useless love affairs. He knows how to let go, no one wastes his time. He's a ride or die; he wants all of me or nothing at all. He wants to have all of me: my heart, my body, my mind, my future. Or he'd rather let me go so we stop wasting our time. I know that there will be a moment when I'll make him mine and he will feel responsible for me forever. I'll be the only one for him, I just have to give him time - he'd never make a hasty decision. He's not a "you-only-live-once" kind of guy.
He knows how to give me the attention I need. If he falls in love with me, he'll always be there for me, he'll listen and I will have his undivided attention. He's not much of a talker, he never talks about his feelings, but his actions speak much louder than his words. Instead of saying "I love you", he'd rather show he does love me: his actions show he's not afraid of love or commitment.
For him, "me time" is of crucial importance, that's how he recharges; in peace, away from it all. No noise, no flashing lights, no people. If you want him, you need to respect this. He's not a jealous type, he loves without making me his captive, he lets me go, but not too far so that I could always get back to him. He gives me the gift of being on my own, he doesn't suffocate me or suck the life out of me. He lets me build myself up.
An introverted man is not a complete stranger, nor a big-headed snob. He doesn't strive to be the heart and soul of every party, but he's a natural leader when surrounded by the right people. He's not a macho with a thousand friends; he's not the one who always knows a guy. He only has a few friends, but puts quality over quantity every time. He values reliability and tradition. He pays real attention to those with whom he connects, but doesn't feel the need to connect with everybody.
Being an introvert does not equal to being shy. Introverted men can be extremely manly. If I capture his heart, I'll be the only one for him. He might not be quick to commit, but when he does, he'll be all in.
I might want busyness and flashing lights sometimes, he'd rather spend time looking at a river. He urges me to declutter my friends as he sees some of them come and go. He wants to love me quietly, so that his actions would speak for him, I'd proclaim my love for him from the rooftops. I would never stop talking, but he'd rather tell me everything I need to know with his touch. I'd go, he'd rather stay. I'm over it, he's still processing it. Can we be happy?

What are women looking for in a man?
Women need men to be pearl divers: men must be able to tell the difference between a real woman and fake ones. There will always be men who are fooled by the beauty of imitation pearls, it is very easy to be deceived by looks.
I wasn't strong enough
I must admit, I wasn't strong enough for you. I didn't know you must face your demons; only you can do that. I would do anything for you but it would all be for nothing. You must overcome your own darkness.
Do strong men really want to be the ones taking responsibility and making hard decisions or being in charge all the time? Do they really want to lead and be followed by a woman who surrender unconditionally? Is that what makes a strong man?
I knew you were going to leave me when we last went to the store together. I knew because I kept receiving the same signals I had been receiving the last time someone left me. I knew you were going to leave me even when you said everything was fine. You hugged me and every fiber of your being was trying to tell me it was all going to be fine. But I knew it wasn't.
Most men tend to forget about the fact that women are not trophies or toys but actual human beings who need attention and care every single day. Yes, women are sensitive and emotional and they need to be nurtured - it's not something that can stop once you're over the initial "attraction and romance" stage.
Love or desire?
Love is the ultimate boost: a hard drug, an anorectic and an aphrodisiac in one. If love were simply a game, we wouldn't feel this way. But it's more than that. It makes your heart race and skip a beat, passion and the intensity of it all cloud your judgement and it makes you feel all sorts of ways for about six month to two years… yes, that's all the human body can take. It's impossible to feel all these emotions forever.
I couldn't believe it was over… You left and that was it. Forever.
How to make yourself feel better
There are plenty of things to do to make yourself feel better both physically and mentally. Feeling low and unhappy can be a sign of not taking proper care of yourself. If that's the case, these tips will surely make you feel better.
