The present invention relates to a method of making a slide fastener having a woven support tape and to an apparatus for carrying out this method. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of and to an apparatus for the weaving of a slide-fastener stringer integrally with the coupling elements thereof.
In the slide-fastener art it is known to provide a respective coupling element along each edge of a woven support or carrier tape so that the row of coupling heads of each coupling element may be interdigitated with the opposing row upon the movement of a slider along these rows. The movement of the slider in the opposite direction being effective to decouple the heads of the two rows.
While a number of techniques have been proposed for mounting the coupling element upon the support tape, including the stitching of the coupling element to the support tape between the turns of the coupling element using chain stitching with or without a filler cord or fillet which passes through the turns, insertion of a preformed coupling element through spaces left in or formed in the tape, and wrapping a portion of the tape around part of the coupling element with or without a filler cord, it has been increasingly of interest in recent years to form the coupling element simultaneously with the tape-making operation and thereby making the coupling element an integral part of the tape.
Techniques for carrying out the last-mentioned operation are described in the afore-mentioned copending applications.
In the present description, certain terminology will be used which may warrant brief discussion before the state of the art and the invention are delved into more deeply. A slide-fastener stringer is generally composed of two slide-fastener halves each of which consists of a support tape and a coupling element along an edge of the tape interengageable with the coupling element of the other slide-fastener half.
To form the slide-fastener stringer into a complete slide fastener, it is customary to mount upon the coupling edges of the stringer, a slider which may be moved to and fro longitudinally of the stringer, i.e., along the axis thereof.
In addition, end stop members may be formed at the end of one or each coupling element for a length of stringer and these end step members may be separable or can hold the two stringer halves together depending upon whether the slide fastener is of the separable type or not.
The coupling element itself, for the present purposes, will be referred to as a continuous synthetic-resin monofilament provided with a number of turns each of which defines a head which can have projections along the axis engageable behind the projections of a pair of heads of the opposing coupling element when the coupling heads of the two elements are interdigitated, i.e., when a head of one coupling element is received in the space between a pair of heads of the opposing elements.
Each head and shanks which extend away from the head can be referred to as a coupling member and thus each coupling element consists of a row of closely and uniformly spaced coupling members joined together remote from the head by bights of the monofilament which connect one shank of each coupling member with a shank of the next coupling member.
Conventional weaving terminology will apply in describing the woven portion of the tape or stringer. For example, the tape may be made up of a warp or group of warp threads extending longitudinally and generally parallel to the axis of the stringer and by a weft which can be passed through the warp threads, e.g., by a weft needle when the tape loom is of the shuttleless type.
As will be apparent from the aforementioned coupling applications, the principal technique in the weaving of a coupling element into a support tape to form a slide-fastener stringer requires two groups of warp threads or yarns which are shedded by heddles in the usual manner, the coupling elements being formed as a synthetic-resin monofilament strand which is carried by a respective needle across a mandrel disposed between the warp groups so that, upon return of the needle, the monofilament is bent around this mandrel to form a coupling head. The shanks of the coupling member will thus lie directly within a warp shed and the reshedding of the warp weaves the coupling element into the tape as the entire weft, as a portion of the weft or over a limited number of warp yarns as required.
Naturally, as the coupling elements are carried across the warp and around the mandrel from opposite sides, two such coupling elements are formed in interdigitated relation along the mandrel.
When the synthetic-resin monofilament is not to constitute the sole weft of the tape, a double-needle arrangement is provided to carry a further weft yarn across all or portions of the warp. The additional weft yarn may be looped into the bight or otherwise passed around portions of the coupling element to afford additional anchorage of the latter. The mandrel is mounted in an upwardly and downwardly movable holder between the groups of warp yarns adapted to form each of the tapes and both the coupling element and the additional weft yarn are supplied to the respective needle at the outer sides of the warp.
In practice, while this has been found to be highly effective in providing a pair of slide-fastener halves in a coupling state using weaving techniques, the speed with which the system can operate has been found to be limited, especially when very high quality stringers are to be made.
It is the object of the present invention to improve upon the techniques and apparatus described in the aforementioned copending applications and, in general, to increase the speed with which slide-fastener stringers can be fabricated while retaining high quality.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved method of making a slide-fastener stringer of high quality, i.e., fine gauge and reliability, with a high degree of flexibility and separation resistance.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved method of fabricating slide-fastener stringers so that the rate at which the same can be produced on a tape loom can be increased, e.g., by comparison with earlier methods in which the coupling element is woven into and formed as part of the tape.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an improved apparatus for manufacturing a slide-fastener stringer.
According to the invention, a slide-fastener stringer is formed by disposing two groups of warp threads or yarns on opposite sides of a mandrel about which the coupling heads of the coupling elements are to be formed in an interdigitated manner.
The warp is shedded in the usual manner and the weft threads of yarns adapted to form part of the ground fabric, i.e., the weft threads or yarns to be passed through the sheds in addition to the introduction of the coupling element monofilaments, is fed to the shed between the two groups of warp yarn or, at any rate, along the side of the warp at which the respective coupling element is to be found in the weaving direction.
The ground weft yarn for each group of warp threads (i.e., for each stringer half) is then carried through the respective shed and locked into a previous pass of the weft by knit looping. In other words, instead of carrying the weft into each warp shed of the respective slide-fastener half from an outer edge thereof, the ground weft threads are carried from a central region through the shed toward the outer edge of the slide-fastener half and each such weft is looped into a previous pass of the weft by a knitting operation.
In this method, moreover, the weft yarns can be set within each shed by a needle which engages the weft and entrains it into the respective shed but is connected with a needle adapted to form the coupling element in the manner described in the aforementioned copending applications. Here, however, the weft-carrying needle is not provided with an eye engaging the weft in both directions, but only with a notch enabling it to pick up the weft after it has traveled across the other group of warp yarns.
In the system, of the present invention, therefore, the weft yarns are not, unlike those of some earlier systems entrained across the full width of the warp, i.e., both groups or sets of warp threads. They are, on the contrary, fed to the knitting location approximately at a central region between the outer edges of the groups of warps and are picked up by the free ends of the respective weft needle as they complete their travel, unloaded across one set of the warp threads, the needles entraining the weft yarn across the other set of warp yarn. Along the outer edge of this latter set of warp yarns, a hooking element is provided, e.g., a latch needle or shroud needle, to engage the newly formed loop of weft and pass the previously formed loop over it.
It is thus an important feature of the present invention that the ground weft yarn is not carried from an outer edge of the warp through the shed, but rather is entrained from an inner edge or side of the warp, outwardly. The apparatus must thus make use of a yarn-engaging notch to pick up the ground weft, rather than a needle eye.
According to a feature of the invention, the ground weft needle, with its notch as described, is connected with the needle for introducing into the warp, the synthetic-resin monofilament which is to form the coupling elements of the respective stringer half. In this case, weft filament or thread need not be hooked around the synthetic-resin monofilament but can be woven into the warp along a marginal portion thereof, i.e., at least two warp yarns lying closer to the coupling edge of the tape than the bights so that this edge can be a full woven edge. In other words, the arrangement of the present invention makes it possible, with a system in which the coupling element is interwoven and formed in situ in the manner described, to also provide fully woven edges not only along the outer edges. These additional woven coupling edges play a role of filler cords for securing the respective coupling elements in place.
An important feature of the invention is that the woven inner or coupling edge of the tape has a symmetry about the slide-fastener plane, i.e., the plane of the tape, so that eccentric stresses do not arise. This makes the slide-fastener stringer more resistant to separation, more flexible and more free from a tendency to kink or break.
Naturally, because the weave structure along the coupling edge of the tape also lies between the coupling heads of the respective coupling element, it functions as a filler for this space, especially where the weft bends around to form a return pass. This has been found to stabilize the spacing of the coupling members and maintain a uniform gauge. The result is an especially high quality slide fastener which is reliable and can be produced at extremely high speeds in spite of the fact that a knitting operation to lock the weft is carried out along the outer edge of each stringer half. This is because, inter alia, the weft thread lifters hitherto required are eliminated and the tension of the weft is reduced.
It has been found advantageous to form the outer and inner warp threads, which are used to lock the coupling element in place, with one type of weave pattern while the intervening warp threads are formed in a different pattern. More particularly, the inner and outer warp threads along the coupling edge are preferably reshedded after each pass of the weft thread while the intervening warp threads are reshedded after each second pass of the warp thread. The result is a 1/1 pattern for the inner and outer warp threads and a 2/2 pattern for the intervening warp threads. The 1/1 pattern prevails directly adjacent the coupling heads and the bights between coupling members.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side-elevational view of a loom for making a slide fastener in accordance with the improved process of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of the weaving portion of the loom;
FIG. 3 is a partial plan view of one slide-fastener half of a stringer made in the loom of FIGS. 1 and 2; and
FIGS. 4A and 4B are detail views, drawn to an enlarged scale, of the tip of the weft-yarn pickup needle corresponding to the portion IV of FIG. 2.
The loom of FIGS. 1 and 2 is basically a tape loom using a needle system for insertion of the weft, i.e., a shuttleless automatic needle loom. It comprises a mechanism 2 for feeding the warp, this mechanism being illustrated diagrammatically in FIGS. 1 and 2 and consisting of the usual array of heddle frames (four in number) with respective heddles through which the warp yarns 5 and 6 pass. The reed for beating up the weft is shown at 25. The stringer emerges as shown at 1.
The heddle system 2 is adapted to form the shed 3 and the further warp shed 4 from the warp yarns 5 and 6.
The shed 3 is provided for the inner group of warp yarns 5 of each warp set for a coupling half to lock the coupling element 7 in place and fill the interstices between the coupling heads. These warp yarns 5 alternate between a high-shed and low-shed position.
The further warp shed 4 is formed from the warp yarns 6 which make up the remainder of the tape (see FIG. 3). The warp yarns 6 alternate between a low-shedded and intermediate-shedded position as seen in FIG. 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the shed 3 lies, as viewed from above, midway between the two halves of the further warp shed 4. The weaving location 8 is thus at the beginning of the slide-fastener guide and can be provided with a thermal fixing unit for thermally relaxing the synthetic-resin monofilament adapted to form the coupling elements in accordance with the teachings of the applications mentioned previously.
To either side of the warp shed 3 and the further warp shed 4, there is provided a respective swingable weft-insertion device 10 which can be of conventional design except for the needle arrangement as will be discussed below.
The arm 10a of each of these weft-insertion devices carries a first weft-insertion needle 11 for carrying the synthetic-resin monofilament 12, adapted to form the coupling element, back and forth across the respective slide-fastener half and, naturally, across and around the mandrel 18 about which the coupling heads are formed in an interdigitated manner. The yarns 12 are fed from outside the warp arrays and are entrained by the closed thread-guide eye 13.
Each of the weft insertion devices additionally includes a weft yarn insertion needle 14 for simultaneously carrying the ground weft yarn into the shed of the respective slide-fastener half.
The ground weft yarns 15 associated with each of the slide-fastener halves is not, however, entrained by the needle 14 from an outer side of the warp array into the respective shed but rather is disposed centrally of the warp array and is picked up by the free end of the needle 14. For this purpose, the free end of the needle 14 is provided with an outwardly open notch 16 (see FIGS. 4A and 4B).
The weft-insertion needles 11 and 14 lie in superposed horizontal planes (see FIG. 2) so that the needles 11 and 14 of the two weft-insertion devices 10 can cross one another during the weaving operation.
During this operation the weft needle 11 carries the respective synthetic-resin monofilament 12 into the shed 3 above the further shed 4 while the weft needle 14 carries the respective ground weft thread 15 into the further shed 4. The ground weft thread 15 is thus passed substantially in the weaving direction at the weaving location 8 between the warp threads 5 to lock the coupling element 7 in place, the ground weft yarns 15 being guided centrally of the shed for engagement in the respective notches 16 by the guide means represented at 17.
In the weaving direction head of the weaving location 8 and behind the guide 17, there is provided centrally of the warp shed 3, the bendable mandrel 18 which is shiftable in a guide 19 engaging the end of the mandrel 18 turned away from the weaving location 8.
The mandrel holder 19, in turn, is shiftable upon a guide 20 which can be displaced by a plunger arrangement 21 between upper and lower positions. This displacement mechanism can make use of magnets or shafts or rods of the shedding arrangement, or the like, e.g., as described in the aforementioned copending applications. The guide 20 is centrally interrupted so that in the upper and lower positions of the mandrel holder 19, the monofilament 15 can be bent around the mandrel to form the respective coupling head as described in the aforementioned applications as well. To exclude undesired inward stress, the mandrel holder 19 can be flanked by a pair of width-maintaining holders 22 which prevent inward movement of the warp yarns 5.
On the outer sides of the further weft sheds 6, in the region of the weaving locations 8 adjacent the stringer guide 9, there are provided horizontally reciprocatable latch needles 23 which engage the return loop of each inlaid ground weft yarn and pass the same into a previously formed loop to form a knitted edge 24. The weft is picked up by the reed 25. Note that the weft can be laid into the warp region 6 as a double weft, i.e., the two passes of the weft can be jointly woven over and under the same warp yarns while the monofilament is likewise laid as a double weft into the warp yarns 5 while the ground weft in this region can be provided as a single weft.
The apparatus described previously and shown in the drawing is used to carry out the weaving process as follows: after shedding the warp, two weft inlaying devices 10 are swung simultaneously inwardly from opposite outer sides of the warp sheds. The synthetic-resin monofilaments 12 are carried by the eyes 13 of the respective needles 11 into the weft sheds 3. The weft needles 14 travel first empty across part of the warp and then engage, in a central region of the sheds 3, the weft thread 15 which is held in readiness by the guide 17. The respective weft threads 15 are picked up by the notches 16 of the needles 14 and are carried through the opposite half of the warp shed 3 as well as through the further warp shed 4 until the advance of the respective latch needle 23 grips the thread 15 carried past the outer edge of the warp.
The previous loop of weft, having passed over the latch, upon retraction of the latch needle closes the latch and rides over this needle while the newly formed loop of the weft is retained in the hook of the latch needle. The needle 14 than swings in the opposite direction to return the weft 15 across the warp shed. Before this return movement, the position of the mandrel holder 19 is shifted so that the return movement of the needle 11 bends the monofilament 12 around the mandrel to form the coupling head. The two coupling heads are thereby produced by opposite movements of the monofilament threads 12. The heddles control the patterns of the inlaying of the weft so that the ground weft thread 15 and the monofilament thread 12 are woven in as double wefts by the warp threads 5 and 6.
FIG. 3 shows one of the stringer halves in a partly formed state. The coupling heads or members 26 of the coupling element 7 are received in and projected from pockets 27 formed by the warp threads 5. The ground weft threads 15 form between the coupling members 26, a woven edge 28 which forms one tape edge while the other tape edge has the knitted loop arrangement 24.
FIG. 3 shows, in addition, the most advantageous pattern of weave which can be produced by appropriate operation of the heddles and shedding in the loom of FIGS. 1 and 2. The two outer and three inner warp threads 5, which lock the coupling element 7 in place are formed in a 1/1 pattern corresponding to reversing of the heddles and oppositely shedding these warp yarns during each pass of the warp. The six intervening warp threads 5 between these inner and outer warp threads 5 are reshedded after every second weft inlay and thus provide a 2/2 pattern. Finally, the knitted edge 24 can be provided by the simple interlocking loops as shown or by capturing additional threads as fillers or tie-threads therein or can be formed as a more complex knit if desired.

Find out how many carbs in 2 chapati has. Also, find out the detailed breakup of sugars in the chapati and its glycemic index.
Carbohydrates are one of the 3 macronutrients (fats, protein, and carbohydrates) that the body requires in order to function correctly. They are vital for good health, but too many carbs can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
A low-carb diet has been shown to be efficient in helping people lose weight and maintain. There are several causes why a low-carb diet is important for weight loss and diabetes.
A low-carb diet helps to reduce the quantity of sugar and refined carbs in your diet. These types of foods are quickly turned into glucose, which can spike your blood sugar quantities and lead to weight gain.
Chapati, a flatbread made from whole wheat flour, water and oil, is one of the primary sources of energy, protein and carbs for people in South Asia. This article will show how many carbs in 2 chapatis are.
Carbs in 2 chapatis, how much?
Serving size: 2 chapati (made of 40 gm of whole wheat flour, water and a little salt).
Eating 2 chapatis gives you 25.67 grams of carbohydrates and 128.02 kCal energy. Carbohydrates form 80.21 % of the calories in 2 chapatis. Here is how it achieves your carbs requirements when you set carb intake at 55% of the calories of your diet plan.
a. 9.33 % of the daily requirement of 275 grams for a 2000 kcal diet.
b. 12.45 % of the daily requirement of 206.25 grams for a 1500 kcal diet.
c. 15.56% of the set carb limit of 165 gms for a 1200 kcal diet.
d. 20.74% of the set carb limit of 123.75 grams when following a 900-kcal diet.
The breakup of carbohydrates in 2 chapati
a. Total available carbs in 2 chapati – 23.45 gm.
b. Total Starch – 22.73 gm, which is 96.93 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
c. Total Free Sugar – 0.72 gm, which is 3.07 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
Details of free sugars in 2 chapati
a. Fructose – 0.29 gm, which is 1.24 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
b. Glucose – 0.31 gm, which is 1.32 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
c. Sucrose – 0.12 gm, which is 0.51 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
d. Maltose – 0.00 gm
Sum of Total Free Sugar – 0.72 gm, which is 3.07 % of total carbs in 2 chapati
Glycemic index of roti
The Glycemic index of chapati is 45 and has a lower glycemic load of 7. This means that it is a low-glycemic food and will not cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
Interestingly, mixing cereal flours with legume flour or eating chapati with vegetables can further reduce the glycemic index of your meal.
Eating 2 chapatis each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner will likely get 77 grams of carbohydrates. Moreover, eating 2 chapatis is the best way to manage a low calories diet as it will give plenty of options in selecting other foods for your diet plan without overshooting calories for the day.

The winter session of the Karnataka legislature, scheduled to begin at Belgaum on December 5, as approved by Governor H.R. Bhardwaj based on a recommendation of the State Cabinet, has put the leaders of all political parties on tenterhooks. However, there are doubts on whether the legislature session will run its course in the light of the serious intra-party differences in the Bharatiya Janata Party.
There is a clear vertical divide within the BJP legislature party, with the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa demonstrating that he has the numbers to pull down the government. On Monday, he stressed this again by stating that it is for the Jagadish Shettar government to decide on whether it wants to continue in office or dissolve the Legislative Assembly. BJP State president K.S. Eshwarappa has been taking pot shots at Mr. Yeddyurappa to drive home the point that the party is more important than the individual.
The session at Belgaum is being held in this background, and it is unlikely that it will last all the days. It is, however, quite evident that the BJP government is not keen on pulling the rug from under its own feet, more so since there are another six months before the term of the present Legislative Assembly draws to an end.
It was in 2006, during the coalition government headed by H.D. Kumaraswamy, that a session of the legislature was held in Belgaum for the first time, primarily to convey to the neighbouring State of Maharashtra that Belgaum is an integral part of Karnataka. This was followed by another weeklong session held in January 2009, when the B.S. Yeddyurappa government was in power.
The Chief Minister told The Hindu:“I am confident that the Belgaum session will be held, and all-out efforts are being made by the Secretariat to hold the session.” The session commences on December 5 and ends on December 12. Mr. Yeddyurappa is all set to float a new political party at Haveri on December 9.
Warning issued by BJP
The camp of Eshwarappa, who is also a Deputy Chief Minister in the government, has warned of disciplinary action against the legislators should there be evidence that they are associated with Mr. Yeddyurappa in promoting a new political party — the Karnataka Janata Paksha. The BJP has thus given a free hand to the Opposition to move a motion of no-confidence against the government, if need be.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G. Parameshwara told The Hindu: “I have serious doubts that the legislature session will be held, particularly after the statements by Mr. Yeddyurappa and Mr. Eshwarappa. In a way, they are both challenging each other and this obviously will lead to the collapse of the government”.

Pressure cookers come in handy for preparing all sorts of dishes from stews to desserts. But the greatest and most appealing thing about pressure cookers is its workhorse function. There is nothing as effective in the modern kitchen as a pressure cooker for preparing food items that take a long time to cook such as grains, stocks, rice, and of course, dried beans.
Beans are the archetypal inexpensive, nutritious food. A pound of beans can be purchased for about a dollar or two and even if you invest a little more in purchasing premium high-quality beans, you will still end up saving a dollar here and there compared to may other staples. Please note that while dried beans are perfect for storing for extended periods, they should not be left sitting out for too long. When buying your beans, be sure to buy from a reputable store that sees a high turnover of food items to avoid cooking with old beans.
With your trusty pressure cooker, it is entirely possible to prepare a nice warm bowl of dried beans in under an hour. Obviously, the cooking times will vary based on the type and quality of dried beans being used as well as how long the beans have been stored in your pantry.
Cooking dry beans in a pressure cooker
To prepare an entire pound of beans, you will need to secure at least a large sized 6 to 8-quart pressure cooker. Remember that pressure cookers can only be filled up to a certain level in order to make sure that they are working effectively. To use a smaller pressure cooker, you would need to reduce the amount of beans that you are working with.
Should you pre-soak your beans before cooking?
When cooking beans on a stovetop, it is recommended that you pre-soak them before cooking. The soaking period varies based on the type of bean being used. The great news is that pre-soaking is not actually required when preparing beans using a pressure cooker. If you want, however, you can pre-soak your beans to ensure that they remain intact; unsoaked beans have a tendency to split up when cooked in a pressure cooker. When you pre-soak beans, it will also eliminate the gas-causing sugars that cause bloating.
How to cook dry beans in a pressure cooker
- When cooking beans in a pressure cooker, always follow the recipe or the pressure-cooking time chart if you are an experienced pressure cooker cook.
- If you are working with pre-soaked beans, drain and rinse the beans in cold running water before filling the pressure cooker.
- Cover your clean pre-soaked beans with broth and leave at least 2 inches to allow the beans to expand.
- Add your other ingredients whether veggies or meats, as well as other flavorings and seasonings such as herbs, spices, and peppers.
- Add a tablespoon or two of lard, butter, fat or vegetable oil. Avoid using margarine as it is not fat.
- Seal your pressure cooker and bring the cooker up to 15psi pressure.
- Maintain heat and pressure as indicated by your recipe or cooking chart then use the natural release method before opening the lid.
- Test your beans for doneness by pressing one between your fingers- done beans should be easy to mash.

Lindsey Vonn’s ex-husband didn’t miss a chance to take a swipe at Tiger Woods.
After Woods was penalized two strokes Saturday for an illegal drop at the Masters, Thomas Vonn tweeted “You always have to keep an eye on those cheaters,” followed by a smiley face.
Vonn’s ex-wife Lindsey is now dating Woods, who had multiple affairs with women leading to his divorce from Elin Nordegren three years ago.
Thomas Vonn, 37, like Lindsey, is a skier. The two got married in 2007 and began divorce proceedings in 2011. The divorce was just finalized Jan. 9, 2013. The jilted lover replied on Twitter to a Yahoo! Sports story explaining that a television viewer called the Masters to rat out Tiger for his illegal move. Thomas Vonn made it sound like he was the one who filed the complaint.
“No problem Masters tournament happy to call in and help,” he tweeted. “You always have to keep an eye on those cheaters ;)”
Lindsey Vonn, whose maiden name is Kildow, is an Olympic gold medalist in skiing. The 28-year-old and Woods, 37, announced they were dating last month. She has been spotted this weekend at Augusta National for the Masters.


F10400 - SEMI F104 - Test Method for Evaluation of Particle Contribution of Components Used in Ultrapure Water and Liquid Chemical Distribution Systems
This Document provides specifications and test methods to evaluate and compare components for particle contribution into an ultrapure water (UPW) fluid stream. Two methods for evaluating particle contribution are provided.
The rinse test method evaluates performance in a flushing mode while the component is in a static state (no actively moving components within the component under test). It provides an indication of the flush volume required to bring particle levels to specification.
The dynamic test method evaluates performance during component operation and provides an indication of the steady state particle contribution due to dynamic operating conditions.
These test methods apply to liquid chemical and UPW system components intended for use in semiconductor manufacturing tools and ancillary equipment.
This Document describes methods for measuring particle contribution from components while using UPW as the test media. UPW, for the intents and purposes of this Document, is defined as having the minimum requirements as outlined in ¶ 7.4 of this Document.
These methods use an in situ liquid optical particle measurement (OPM) instrument to quantify performance.

This article originally appeared in The Daily Capitalist.
Politics has a charming way of bringing reality to lame-duck politicians. The Republican gains in the House and Senate have apparently prompted President Obama to do the unthinkable: freeze the pay of civilian federal workers for two years. His constituency is very upset by this apparent betrayal by Obama:
"I am really ticked," said John Gage, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, which represents roughly 600,000 federal employees. "I never expected that this administration would look at this problem and think the solution was cutting wages." He called the move a "panic" by the White House after the midterms, and said it was a "symbolic, political, public-relations stunt."
Note Mr. Gage's use of the words "this administration" referring to a very pro-labor Administration. You can only imagine what the leaders of the SEIU are saying in private.
John Irons, research and policy director for the "progressive" Economic Policy Institute, a think tank socialist propaganda boiler room supported by labor unions and George Soros said: "It's an economic recession, and this is the time you want to be raising wages, not cutting wages." Wow, John, what a great idea to bankrupt the government and cause unemployment. Why not raise everyone's wages to get us out of the recession? Why not raise the minimum wage to $50 per hour? Wait! Herbert Hoover tried that and it resulted in massive unemployment, one of the major causes of the Great Depression. What a bunch of hacks.
I really dislike union types. They stand for the worst principles, i.e., get the government to force the rest of us to pay more than they are worth or protect their monopolies on labor in closed shops. They use violence and intimidation when they try to unionize or force unionization in open shops. But this is part of Obama's base.
So I've got to give Obama some credit for reaching out to his newly empowered Republican adversaries to open the doors to "frank" negotiations on the budget and taxation.
What is great about what he is doing is that it is one of the proposals from The Cato Institute on how to balance the budget. Chris Edwards, Director of their Tax Policy Studies, has written an excellent piece on how to balance the budget in ten years without increasing taxes. I urge my readers to download it and read this thought provoking piece. I support it completely.

A Hollywood-based graphic novelist who published stories of gruesome killings was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for the 2016 torture and murder of his fiancée, who had given birth to their child weeks earlier.
A Los Angeles jury found Blake Leibel, 37, guilty last week of first-degree murder, torture and aggravated mayhem in the slaying of Iana Kasian, 30.
Deputies discovered Kasian's naked body in a blood-spattered bedroom of the couple's West Hollywood apartment in May 2016.
"This monster ruined our life, ruined the life of his family," Olga Kasian, mother of the victim, said in court through a Russian translator before the sentencing.
Leibel used a knife in a "prolonged attack" in which Kasian was "alive for the better part of the mutilation and mayhem," prosecutor Tannaz Mokayef told jurors.
Evidence suggested Kasian was dragged through their home and held underwater, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Graphic photos were reportedly shown in the courtroom of Kasian with her eyebrow removed and exposed facial bones and muscles.
"He threw away pieces of his fiancée … like she was trash."
“He threw away pieces of his fiancée … like she was trash,” District Attorney Beth Silverman said, adding that Kasian endured the torture for at least six hours before dying of “severe blood loss.”
Mokayef said Leibel "followed a script" from one of his graphic novels.
Leibel is the son of Lorne Leibel, a Canadian real estate tycoon and sailor on Canada's 1976 Olympics team who made a fortune by building homes in the Toronto area.
Blake Leibel moved to California and lived on an allowance of about $18,000 a month over a seven-year period until inheriting the majority of his mother's estate.
He worked in a variety of creative roles, and in 2010 produced the graphic novel "Syndrome," about a mad doctor's quest to test his theory that he can isolate the root of evil in the brain, a theory he tests on a serial killer.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

No doubt about it, the Big Apple is a pedestrian town: according to the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT), over eight million people tread the city’s approximately 12,750 square miles of sidewalks each day.
New Yorkers are accustomed to traipsing through all types of inclement weather, but during the harsh winter months, making one’s way from Point A to Point B becomes even more of a battle. Winter weather creates hazardous conditions that can be extremely dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians, and while there are city agencies responsible for monitoring and dealing with the icy side effects of freezing temperatures and winter storms on public roadways, taking care of slippery sidewalks is a responsibility that falls more squarely upon the shoulders of civilians—including co-op and condo boards.
The City Side
The DOT is the agency that monitors and controls sidewalk repairs across the five boroughs. In 1992, the DOT created the Office of Sidewalk Management (OSM) to promote the issue of pedestrian safety to educate and inform the public regarding responsibilities and procedures for maintaining sidewalks in safe condition.
The OSM and the City Charter and the New York City Administrative Code categorize city sidewalks into three major groups: City-owned property; one-, two- and three-family owner-occupied properties; and “four-plus,” which includes all multifamily buildings and commercial properties. According to Diane Altieri of the OSM, “The DOT now focuses its maintenance efforts on sidewalks abutting city property, as well as one-, two-, and three-family owner-occupied properties throughout the five boroughs.” For buildings categorized as “four-plus,” the property owner is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all sidewalks abutting the property.
This specification is fairly recent. According to Robert J. Braverman, a managing partner with the law firm of Braverman & Associates, PC in Manhattan, “Up until a few years ago, the city was responsible for the maintenance and repair of sidewalks. However, the law was changed [in 2002], and now unless the building is a one- to three-family residence—which would exclude almost all co-ops and condominiums—the property owner bears the responsibility” for maintaining those sidewalks.”

"Whenever I'm ready, they're ready. So it's my job to get myself ready and I'll do everything in my power to make that as soon as possible,"
"My own downfall before was I used to train too hard I think, even before I was on the GB squad. Nobody trained like me, I was a maniac in the gym. I used to train too hard too much. I think that led to some of my injuries, just wanting to be the be[...]
"I know how good I can be but most people watching me against Dan Blackwell or Wayne Reed, they'll go, 'He's alright, he's pretty good.' I want to make sure when I'm back in the ring, people are going wow, that's a future world champion there and I [...]
"I do believe I've had a whole career's worth of bad luck in the first three years of my career. However that time I haven't been in the ring, I haven't been sparring, I haven't been getting beaten up, I haven't been killing myself on the roads, I h[...]
"Every time he threw a jab, I blocked it, it was coming out, it was agony. Every time he threw a left hook I was blocking it, it was coming out, it was agony. Yet I stayed in there, I bit down on my gumshield and you know what when the bell went for[...]
I want to thank Eddie Hearn, Kalle and Nisse Sauerland and Golden Boy Promotions for giving me the opportunity to fight in Glasgow and am looking to make a real statement of intent. I want to keep as busy as I can during 2016 and am determined to ma[...]
"I felt it scrape against my collar bone. It came right out the socket,"
"On the plus side it's going to give me more power. He [the surgeon] said it had been eroding away for years and years,". "It would have got weaker over the years. Now it's super strong and super solid and if I punch it's going to be a more solid sh[...]
When the surgeon went in, he said there are two threads left. If they had went, it would have went completely and it wouldn't have gone back in the socket. I had to fight four and a half rounds against a tough Ukrainian, a strong geezer, with one ar[...]
"Eventually Sauerland sent me someone they didn't really want me to fight because he was 11-3 with six knockouts". "I wanted to fight him in my eighth fight, in my first fight after a year's inactivity. So I think my biggest problem is, just through[...]
"I'm absorbing all the information I'm being told by my team because I can absorb it. Before I was using so much energy, I didn't realise it was just a case of how it had to be, I was using so much energy trying to ignore the pain in my Achilles, wh[...]
"I'm remembering why I loved it,"
It's going to be a great experience for me and it's going to hold me in good stead if I can get three weeks of sparring with George Groves in California, Big Bear and maybe some rounds of sparring with whoever else is there at the time. It's going t[...]
"They said they can make me as busy as I want but all their shows are in America,". "I didn't really want to [move to America] because I'm British. I'm very proud of being British. Boxing at the minute in Britain is on the crest of a wave at the mom[...]
"I forgot what it was like to train and compete and box pain-free,". "They're doing brilliantly, they're doing really well, I couldn't be happier with how it's all gone.
I've done so many rounds of sparring, I've done countless rounds, I've sparred so many different types of people, it's just been really good.
"I'm going over to Big Bear in California with the George Groves camp. I'm going to be helping him finish off his preparations for his world title fight. That's going to be great for me, as a young boxer, going out and helping George Groves with his[...]
"I genuinely feel like I've got the best of both worlds, I've got Oscar De La Hoya over the pond and I've got the Sauerland guys here in the UK. I couldn't be happier with how everything's turned out. After a long period of being unhappy and being i[...]
"I'm backing myself to get to the top. I'm 100 per cent sure I'm going to be a world champion one day. There's going to be times when I might have to go away to California and I'm going to be fighting in Vegas and I'll need to go to California and d[...]
