This
is
a
list
of
what
materials
are
good
for
what
purpose
and
what
materials
may
appear
to
be
useful,
but
are
not.
Materials
tend
to
fall
under
one
or
more
of
the
following
categories.
Without
the
glue
coat,
the
ball
would
not
be
possible.
The
glue
coat
is
comprised
by
wrappers
which
have
an
adhesive
after
removing
their
backing
paper.
After
applying
a
layer
of
loose
foil,
a
glue
coat
is
applied
to
hold
it
all
together.
Peppermint
Pattie
wrappers
The
kind
that
come
in
a
bag
of
many,
not
the
individually
wrapped
ones
around
2
1/2
inches
or
so
(I
haven't
measured)
in
diameter.
So
far,
these
are
the
absolute
best
general
purpose
binding
material
for
ball
construction.
Peanut
Butter
Cup
wrappers
Some,
but
not
all
of
these
wrappers
are
similar
to
pattie
wrappers
in
that
they
have
a
paper
backing.
See
below
for
those
that
do
not.
These
wrappers
have
some
adhesive,
and
are
sticky
enough
to
stay
on
for
a
finish
coat.
Of
course,
anything
that
works
as
a
glue
coat
also
makes
a
good
finish
coat,
looks
notwhithstanding.
Gum
Wrappers
These
are
very
difficult
to
peel,
and
the
adhesive
is
often
just
barely
adequate,
but
they
make
a
very
nice,
uniform,
silvery
finish
coat.
Andes
mints
Very
weak
adhesive,
but
it's
there,
nonetheless.
Cloud
Nine
Chocolates
Somewhat
difficult
to
peel,
but
by
no
means
impossible.
Yields
a
good-sized
piece
of
foil
which
sticks
weakly.
Klondike
Bar
wrappers
They
are
very
difficult
to
peel,
and
the
residual
adhesive
is
weak,
but
they
have
a
spiffy
silvery
textured
finish,
and
if
all
goes
well,
a
largish
logo.
Pretty
much
anything
that
doesn't
fall
into
the
above
categories,
but
is,
nonetheless,
usable
falls
into
this
group.
Kisses/Hugs
wrappers
Very
thin,
but
also
quite
popular,
thus
plentiful.
It
takes
bazillions
of
these
to
build
up
much
bulk.
Hershey
Candy
Bars,
Miniatures
and
Nuggets
These
wrappers
have
the
backing
paper
glued
on
with
something
that
is
more
tenacious
than
the
paper
itself.
The
result
is
that
if
you
are
able
to
peel
it
at
all,
it
is
unlikely
that
you've
gotten
all
of
the
way
down
to
bare
foil.
It
is
possible
to
remove
the
paper
from
these
by
soaking
them
and
then
rubbing
the
paper
off,
but
it
is
an
awful
lot
of
work.
Peanut
Butter
Cup
wrappers
Thicker
and
larger
than
kisses/hugs.
Quite
greasy
from
the
peanut
butter.
These
are
the
ones
that
are
sold
many
to
a
bag,
not
the
vending/checkout
size.
Dove
Promises
wrappers
Similar
attributes
to
Peanut
Butter
Cups,
but
not
greasy.
Creme
Egg
wrappers
Largish
piece
of
foil.
The
eggs
are
quite
expensive,
though.
Sandwich
Wrappers
from
certain
restaurants
These
are
generally
at
least
1
square
foot
and
backed
with
paper
which
is
attached
by
water-soluble
adhesive
which
dissolves
in
seconds.
There
are
exceptions
to
that,
though.
Wrappers
from
Wendy's
require
more
soaking,
and
then
one
must
labor
to
actually
rub
the
paper
off.
Generic
food
service
foil
At
least
one
Mexican
restaurant
in
my
area
wraps
tortillas
in
these
with
certain
meals.
These
are
a
general
food
service
item,
packed
in
a
box
like
facial
tissues.
The
surface
is
usually
textured
in
a
diagonal
pattern
of
squares.
These
are
pure
foil,
no
paper
to
peel
off.
Aluminum
lids
from
certain
beverages
and
similar
products.
These
flatten
out
well,
and
are
relatively
thick.
At
the
current
size
of
the
ball,
they
have
to
be
torn
into
strips
to
be
used.
Dannon
yogurt
Minute
Maid
orange
juice
(I
got
one
from
the
golden
arches,
for
instance).
Watch
out,
since
some
of
these
(I've
found
a
bunch
from
apple
sauce)
have
a
plastic
lining
which
cannot
be
removed.
These
wrappers
are
made
of
aluminized
Mylar,
and
contain
far
too
much
plastic
to
qualify
for
the
ball.
After
all,
they
are
really
plastic
with
a
bit
of
aluminum
deposited
on
them
to
make
them
shiny.
Salem
Lights
cigarette
wrapper
(Probably
many
other
brands,
as
well.)
See
above
about
aluminized
Mylar.
The
outer
wrapper
from
Trident
gum
It
is
allegedly
possible
to
produce
usable
foil
from
these,
the
work
(soaking
and
scrubbing)
far
outweighs
the
benefit.
Some
foil
beverage
lids
As
previously
mentioned,
some
of
these
are
lined
with
plastic.
While
they
would
technically
work,
I'm
trying
to
keep
as
much
foreign
material
out
of
the
ball
as
I
can.
Soda/Beer
cans
They
are
lined
with
plastic.
The
inner
wrapper
from
Velveeta
or
from
cream
cheese
I
see
a
pattern
here.
This,
too,
has
a
plastic
lining,
which
does
not
seem
to
be
removable.
A much more important factor in the social movement than those already mentioned was the ever-increasing influence of women. This probably stood at the lowest point to which it has ever fallen, during the classic age of Greek life and thought. In the history of Thucydides, so far as it forms a connected series of events, four times only during a period of nearly seventy years does a woman cross the scene. In each instance her apparition only lasts for a moment. In three of the four instances she is a queen or a princess, and belongs either to the half-barbarous kingdoms of northern Hellas or to wholly barbarous Thrace. In the one remaining instance208— that of the woman who helps some of the trapped Thebans to make their escape from Plataea—while her deed of mercy will live for ever, her name is for ever lost.319 But no sooner did philosophy abandon physics for ethics and religion than the importance of those subjects to women was perceived, first by Socrates, and after him by Xenophon and Plato. Women are said to have attended Plato’s lectures disguised as men. Women formed part of the circle which gathered round Epicurus in his suburban retreat. Others aspired not only to learn but to teach. Arêtê, the daughter of Aristippus, handed on the Cyrenaic doctrine to her son, the younger Aristippus. Hipparchia, the wife of Crates the Cynic, earned a place among the representatives of his school. But all these were exceptions; some of them belonged to the class of Hetaerae; and philosophy, although it might address itself to them, remained unaffected by their influence. The case was widely different in Rome, where women were far more highly honoured than in Greece;320 and even if the prominent part assigned to them in the legendary history of the city be a proof, among others, of its untrustworthiness, still that such stories should be thought worth inventing and preserving is an indirect proof of the extent to which feminine influence prevailed. With the loss of political liberty, their importance, as always happens at such a conjuncture, was considerably increased. Under a personal government there is far more scope for intrigue than where law is king; and as intriguers women are at least the209 equals of men. Moreover, they profited fully by the levelling tendencies of the age. One great service of the imperial jurisconsults was to remove some of the disabilities under which women formerly suffered. According to the old law, they were placed under male guardianship through their whole life, but this restraint was first reduced to a legal fiction by compelling the guardian to do what they wished, and at last it was entirely abolished. Their powers both of inheritance and bequest were extended; they frequently possessed immense wealth; and their wealth was sometimes expended for purposes of public munificence. Their social freedom seems to have been unlimited, and they formed combinations among themselves which probably served to increase their general influence.321 The old religions of Greece and Italy were essentially oracular. While inculcating the existence of supernatural beings, and prescribing the modes according to which such beings were to be worshipped, they paid most attention to the interpretation of the signs by which either future events in general, or the consequences of particular actions, were supposed to be divinely revealed. Of these intimations, some were given to the whole world, so that he who ran might read, others were reserved for certain favoured localities, and only communicated through the appointed ministers of the god. The Delphic oracle in particular enjoyed an enormous reputation both among Greeks and barbarians for guidance afforded under the latter conditions; and during a considerable period it may even be said to have directed the course of Hellenic civilisation. It was also under this form that supernatural religion suffered most injury from the great intellectual movement which followed the Persian wars. Men who had learned to study the constant sequences of Nature for themselves, and to shape their conduct according to fixed principles of prudence or of justice, either thought it irreverent to trouble the god about questions on which they were competent to form an opinion for themselves, or did not choose to place a well-considered scheme at the mercy of his possibly interested responses. That such a revolution occurred about the middle of the fifth century B.C., seems proved by the great change of tone in reference to this subject which one perceives on passing from Aeschylus to Sophocles. That anyone should question the veracity of an oracle is a supposition which never crosses the mind of the elder dramatist. A knowledge of augury counts among the greatest benefits222 conferred by Prometheus on mankind, and the Titan brings Zeus himself to terms by his acquaintance with the secrets of destiny. Sophocles, on the other hand, evidently has to deal with a sceptical generation, despising prophecies and needing to be warned of the fearful consequences brought about by neglecting their injunctions. The stranger had a pleasant, round face, with eyes that twinkled in spite of the creases around them that showed worry. No wonder he was worried, Sandy thought: having deserted the craft they had foiled in its attempt to get the gems, the man had returned from some short foray to discover his craft replaced by another. “Thanks,” Dick retorted, without smiling. When they reached him, in the dying glow of the flashlight Dick trained on a body lying in a heap, they identified the man who had been warned by his gypsy fortune teller to “look out for a hidden enemy.” He was lying at full length in the mould and leaves. "But that is sport," she answered carelessly. On the retirement of Townshend, Walpole reigned supreme and without a rival in the Cabinet. Henry Pelham was made Secretary at War; Compton Earl of Wilmington Privy Seal. He left foreign affairs chiefly to Stanhope, now Lord Harrington, and to the Duke of Newcastle, impressing on them by all means to avoid quarrels with foreign Powers, and maintain the blessings of peace. With all the faults of Walpole, this was the praise of his political system, which system, on the meeting of Parliament in the spring of 1731, was violently attacked by Wyndham and Pulteney, on the plea that we were making ruinous treaties, and sacrificing British interests, in order to benefit Hanover, the eternal millstone round the neck of England. Pulteney and Bolingbroke carried the same attack into the pages of The Craftsman, but they failed to move Walpole, or to shake his power. The English Government, instead of treating Wilkes with a dignified indifference, was weak enough to show how deeply it was touched by him, dismissed him from his commission of Colonel of the Buckinghamshire Militia, and treated Lord Temple as an abettor of his, by depriving him of the Lord-Lieutenancy of the same county, and striking his name from the list of Privy Councillors, giving the Lord-Lieutenancy to Dashwood, now Lord Le Despencer. "I tell you what I'll do," said the Deacon, after a little consideration. "I feel as if both Si and you kin stand a little more'n you had yesterday. I'll cook two to-day. We'll send a big cupful over to Capt. McGillicuddy. That'll leave us two for to-morrer. After that we'll have to trust to Providence." "Indeed you won't," said the Surgeon decisively. "You'll go straight home, and stay there until you are well. You won't be fit for duty for at least a month yet, if then. If you went out into camp now you would have a relapse, and be dead inside of a week. The country between here and Chattanooga is dotted with the graves of men who have been sent back to the front too soon." "Adone do wud that—though you sound more as if you wur in a black temper wud me than as if you pitied me." "Wot about this gal he's married?" "Don't come any further." "Davy, it 'ud be cruel of us to go and leave him." "Insolent priest!" interrupted De Boteler, "do you dare to justify what you have done? Now, by my faith, if you had with proper humility acknowledged your fault and sued for pardon—pardon you should have had. But now, you leave this castle instantly. I will teach you that De Boteler will yet be master of his own house, and his own vassals. And here I swear (and the baron of Sudley uttered an imprecation) that, for your meddling knavery, no priest or monk shall ever again abide here. If the varlets want to shrieve, they can go to the Abbey; and if they want to hear mass, a priest can come from Winchcombe. But never shall another of your meddling fraternity abide at Sudley while Roland de Boteler is its lord." "My lord," said Edith, in her defence, "this woman has sworn falsely. The medicine I gave was a sovereign remedy, if given as I ordered. Ten drops would have saved the child's life; but the contents of the phial destroyed it. The words I uttered were prayers for the life of the child. My children, and all who know me, can bear witness that I have a custom of asking His blessing upon all I take in hand. I raised my eyes towards heaven, and muttered words; but, my lord, they were words of prayer—and I looked up as I prayed, to the footstool of the Lord. But it is in vain to contend: the malice of the wicked will triumph, and Edith Holgrave, who even in thought never harmed one of God's creatures, must be sacrificed to cover the guilt, or hide the thoughtlessness of another." "Aye, Sir Treasurer, thou hast reason to sink thy head! Thy odious poll-tax has mingled vengeance—nay, blood—with the cry of the bond." HoME古一级毛片免费观看
