sstetzelPosts 710110 Visit a school room or a recitation and then write an account of the types and degrees of attention you observed Try to explain the factors responsible for any failures in attention and also those responsible for the good attention shownHabit Saves Worry and RebellionHabit has been called the balance wheel of society This is because men readily become habituated to the hard the disagreeable or the inevitable and cease to battle against it A lot that at first seems unendurable after a time causes less revolt A sorrow that seems too poignant to be borne in the course of time loses some of its sharpness Oppression or injustice that arouses the fiercest resentment and hate may finally come to be accepted77 with resignation Habit helps us learn that what cannot be cured must be enduredOn the right of this building a ruin from its cradle arose the Vatican a splendid Tower of Babel to which all the celebrated architects of the Roman school contributed their work for a thousand years at this epoch the two magnificent chapels did not exist nor the twelve great halls the twoandtwenty courts the thirty staircases and the two thousand bedchambers for Pope Sixtus V the sublime swineherd who did so many things in a five years reign had not yet been able to add the immense building which on the eastern side towers above the court of St Damasius still it was truly

and well formed he possessed as much vigor of body as of mind Nor were his accomplishments entirely those of the scholar He wrote dainty verses which he also set to music and which he sang himself with a rare skill Some have called him the first of the troubadours and many who cared nothing for his skill in logic admired him for his gifts as a musician and a poet Altogether he was one to attract attention wherever he went for none could fail to recognize his powerThis partnership between mind and body is very close Just how it happens that spirit may inhabit matter we may not know But certain it is that they interact on each other What will hinder the growth of one will handicap the other and what favors the development of either will help both The methods of their coperation and the laws that govern their relationship will develop as our study goes onMaking Different Kinds of Attention Renforce Each OtherA very close relationship and interdependence exists between nonvoluntary and voluntary attention It would be impossible to hold our attention by sheer force of will on objects which were forever devoid of interest likewise the blind following of our interests and desires would finally lead to shipwreck in all our lives Each kind of attention must support and renforce the other The lessons the sermons the lectures27 and the books in which we are most interested and hence to which we attend nonvoluntarily and with the least effort and fatigue are the ones out of which other things being equal we get the most and remember the best and longest On the other hand there are sometimes lessons and lectures and books and many things besides which are not intensely interesting but which should be attended to nevertheless It is at this point that the will must step in and take command If it has not the strength to do this it is in so far a weak will and steps should be taken to develop it We are to keep the faculty of effort alive in us by a little gratuitous exercise every day We are to be systematically heroic in the little points of everyday life and experience We are not to shrink from tasks because they are difficult or unpleasant Then when the test comes we shall not find ourselves unnerved and untrained but shall be able to stand in the evil dayOld 12052011 1021 AM 10some more to emphasise it more That was actually a pretty importantThis was the first occasion on which the Italians accustomed as they were to the chivalrous contests of the fifteenth century found themselves in contact with savage foreigners who less advanced in civilisation had not yet come to consider war as a clever game but looked upon it as simply a mortal conflict So the news of these two butcheries produced a tremendous sensation at Florence the richest city in Italy and the most prosperous in commerce and in art Every Florentine imagined the French to be like an army of those ancient barbarians who were wont to extinguish fire with blood The prophecies of Savonarola who had predicted the foreign invasion and the destruction that should follow it were recalled to the minds of all and so much perturbation was evinced that Piero dei Medici bent on getting peace at any price forced a decree upon the republic whereby she was to send an embassy to the conqueror and obtained leave resolved as he was to deliver himself in person into the hands of the French monarch to act as one of the ambassadors He accordingly quitted Florence accompanied by four other messengers and an his arrival at Pietra Santa sent to ask from Charles VIII a safeconduct for himself alone The day after he made this request Brigonnet and de Piennes came to fetch him and led him into the presence of Charles VIII2 THE MINDS DEPENDENCE ON THE

approached the Venetians demanding aid and counsel for the king their master But the Venetians faithful to their political tradition which had gained for them the sobriquet of the Jews of Christendom replied that they were not in a position to give any aid to the young king so long as they had to keep ceaselessly on guard against the Turks that as to advice it would be too great a presumption in them to give advice to a prince who was surrounded by such experienced generals and such able ministers79 PST MonFri 106 Sat 125 SunThe japan ground properly so called consists of the varnish and pigment where the whole surface is to be of one simple colour or of the varnish with or without pigment on which some painting or other form of decoration is afterwards to be applied It is best to form this ground with the desired pigment incorporated with shellac varnish except in the case of a white japan ground which requires special treatment or when great brilliancy is a desideratum and other methods must be adopted The shellac varnish for the japan ground is best prepared as follows shellac 114 lb methylated spirits 1 gallon Dissolve in a wellcorked vessel in a warm place and with frequent shaking After two or three days the shellac will be dissolved It is then recommended to filter the solution through a flannel bag and when all that will come through freely has done so the varnish should be run into a proper sized vessel and kept carefully corked for use The bag may then be squeezed with the hand till the remainder of the fluid varnish is forced through it and this if fairly clear may be used for rough purposes or added to the next batch Pigments of any nature whatever may be used with the shellac varnish to give the desired tint to the ground and where necessary they may be mixed together to form any compound colour such as blue and yellow to form green The pigments used for japan grounds should all be previously ground very smooth in spirits of turpentine so smooth that the paste does not grate between the two thumb nails and then only are they mixed with the varnish This mixture of pigment and varnish vehicle should then be spread over the surface to be japanned very carefully and very evenly with a camelhair brush As metals do not require a priming coat of size and whiting the japan ground may be applied to metallic surfaces forthwith without any preliminary treatment except thorough cleansing except in the cases specially referred to further on On metallic surfaces three to four coats are applied and in the interval between each coat the articles must be stoved in an oven heated to from 250 to 300 FGOCarriage VarnishZinc surfaces after a brief exposure to the air become coated with a thin film of oxideinsoluble in waterwhich adheres tenaciously forming a protective coating to the underlying zinc So long as the zinc surface remains intact the underlying metal is protected from corrosive action but a mechanical or other injury to the zinc coating that exposes the metal beneath in the presence of moisture causes a very rapid corrosion to be started the galvanic action being changed from the zinc positive to zinc negative and the iron as the positive element in the circuit is corroded instead of the zinc When galvanized iron is immersed in a corrosive liquid the zinc is attacked in preference to the iron provided both the exposed parts of the iron and the protected parts are immersed in the liquid The zinc has not the same protective quality when the liquid is sprinkled over the surface and remains in isolated drops Sea air being charged with saline matters is very destructive to galvanized surfaces forming a soluble chloride by its action As zinc is one of the metals most readily attacked by acids ordinary galvanized iron is not suitable for positions where it is to be much exposed to an atmosphere charged with acids sent into the air by some manufactories or to the sulphuric acid fumes found in the products of combustion of rolling mills iron glass and gas works etc and yet we see engineers of note coveringin important buildings with corrugated and other sheets of iron and using galvanized iron tie rods angles and other constructive shapes in blind confidence of the protective power of the zinc coating also in supreme indifference as to the future consequences and catastrophes that arise from their unexpected failure The comparative inertia of lead to the chemical action of many acids has led to the contention that it should form as good if not a better protection of iron than zinc but in practice it is found to be deficient as a protective coating against corrosion A piece of leadcoated iron placed in water will show decided evidences of corrosion in twentyfour hours This is to be attributed to the porous nature of the coating whether it is applied by the hot or wet acid process The lead does not bond to the plate as well as either of the other metalszinc tin copper or any alloys of them The following table gives the increase in weight of different articles due to hot galvanizingThe kings indisposition however did not prove so grave as was at first supposed He was cured by the end of a few weeks and proceeded on his way towards Pavia where the young Duke John Galeazzo lay dying He and the King of France were first cousins sons of two sisters of the house of Savoy So Charles VIII was obliged to see him and went to visit him in the castle where he lived more like prisoner than lord He found him half reclining on a couch pale and emaciated some said in consequence of luxurious living others from the effects of a slow but deadly poison But whether or not the poor young man was desirous of pouring out a complaint to Charles he did not dare say a word for his uncle Ludovico Sforza never left the King of France for an instant But at the very moment when Charles VIII was getting up to go the door opened and a young woman appeared and threw herself at the kings feet she was the wife of the unlucky John Galeazzo and came to entreat his cousin to do nothing against her father Alfonso nor against her brother Ferdinand At sight of her Sforza scowled with an anxious and threatening aspect far he knew not what impression might be produced on his ally by this scene But he was soon reassured far Charles replied that he had advanced too far to draw back now and that the glory of his name was at stake as well as the interests of his kingdom and that these two motives were far too important to be sacrificed to any sentiment of pity he might feel however real and deep it might be and was The poor young woman who had based her last hope an this appeal then rose from her knees and threw herself sobbing into her husbands arms Charles VIII and Ludavico Sforza took their leave John Galeazzo was doomedC Excuse me this is irrelevant isnt it Walk yourself strong 2 Days Ago 22Post reply smithrockHandsome and well formed he possessed as much
